couldn't possibly HAVE_GETOPT. I believe this is the most appropriate
form of the patch submitted 2007-08-07 by Hiroshi Saito, though not
having a Windows build environment I won't know for sure till I see
the buildfarm results.
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile
control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend
src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before.

the same transaction can be identified even when no regular XID was assigned.
This seems essential after addition of the lazy-XID patch. Also some
minor code cleanup in write_csvlog().
happen condition can happen given incorrect input. The real problem is that
gram.y should try harder to distinguish * from "*" --- the latter is a legal
column name per spec, and someday we ought to treat it that way. However
fixing that is too invasive for a back-patch, and it's too late for the 8.3
cycle too. So just reduce the Assert to a plain elog for now. Per report
from NikhilS.
decompression of an already-compressed external value when we have to copy
it; save a few cycles when a value is too short for compression; and
annotate various lines that are currently unreachable.
- create a separate archive_mode GUC, on which archive_command is dependent
- %r option in recovery.conf sends last restartpoint to recovery command
- %r used in pg_standby, updated README
- minor other code cleanup in pg_standby
- doc on Warm Standby now mentions pg_standby and %r
- log_restartpoints recovery option emits LOG message at each restartpoint
- end of recovery now displays last transaction end time, as requested
by Warren Little; also shown at each restartpoint
- restart archiver if needed to carry away WAL files at shutdown

join search order portion of the planner; this is specifically intended to
simplify developing a replacement for GEQO planning. Patch by Julius
Stroffek, editorialized on by me. I renamed make_one_rel_by_joins to
standard_join_search and make_rels_by_joins to join_search_one_level to better
reflect their place within this scheme.
and up), per Chris Marcellino. This avoids consuming O(N^2) file
descriptors to support N backends. Tests suggest it's about a wash for
small installations, but large ones would have a problem.
word comes before the weight instead of after. This will allow future
binary-compatible extension of the representation to support compact formats,
as discussed on pgsql-hackers around 2007/06/18. The reason to do it now is
that we've already pretty well broken any chance of simple in-place upgrade
from 8.2 to 8.3, but it's possible that 8.3 to 8.4 (or whenever we get around
to squeezing NUMERIC) could otherwise be data-compatible.
bgwriter_lru_maxpages is exceeded leaves the loop variables in the
expected state. In the original coding, we'd fail to advance
next_to_clean, causing that buffer to be probably-uselessly rechecked next
time, and also have an off-by-one idea of the number of buffers scanned.
buffers that cannot possibly need to be cleaned, and estimates how many
buffers it should try to clean based on moving averages of recent allocation
requests and density of reusable buffers. The patch also adds a couple
more columns to pg_stat_bgwriter to help measure the effectiveness of the
bgwriter.

in particular a much older patch from Itagaki Takahiro.

page. The current estimate is 200 dead tuples per page.
Per reports from Jeff Amiel, Erik Jones and Marko Kreen, and subsequent
discussion.

* stats_start_collector goes away; we always start the collector process,
unless prevented by a problem with setting up the stats UDP socket.
* stats_reset_on_server_start goes away; it seems useless in view of the
availability of pg_stat_reset().
* stats_block_level and stats_row_level are merged into a single variable
"track_counts", which controls all reports sent to the collector process.
* stats_command_string is renamed to track_activities.
* log_autovacuum is renamed to log_autovacuum_min_duration to better reflect
its meaning.
The log_autovacuum change is not a compatibility issue since it didn't exist
before 8.3 anyway. The other changes need to be release-noted.

improvements in the XIDCACHE_DEBUG code --- make sure each call of
TransactionIdIsInProgress is counted one way or another.
out at erratic times, because it is creating a totally unacceptable level
of noise in our buildfarm results. This patch can be reverted when and if
the code is fixed to not issue notices during cache reload events.
(because they are uncorrelated with the immediate parent query). We were
charging the full run cost to the parent node, disregarding the fact that
only one row need be fetched for EXISTS. While this would only be a
cosmetic issue in most cases, it might possibly affect planning outcomes
if the parent query were itself a subquery to some upper query.
Per recent discussion with Steve Crawford.
buildfarm member grebe, I see no reason to revert the 1-byte-header-friendly
changes I made in varlena.c. Instead, tweak the code a little bit to
get more advantage out of that.
