There can never be a need to push the indcheckxmin horizon forward, since any HOT chains that are actually broken with respect to the index must pre-date its original creation. So we can just avoid changing pg_index altogether during a REINDEX operation. This offers a cleaner solution than my previous patch for the problem found a few days ago that we mustn't try to update pg_index while we are reindexing it. System catalog indexes will always be created with indcheckxmin = false during initdb, and with this modified code we should never try to change their pg_index entries. This avoids special-casing system catalogs as the former patch did, and should provide a performance benefit for many cases where REINDEX formerly caused an index to be considered unusable for a short time. Back-patch to 8.3 to cover all versions containing HOT. Note that this patch changes the API for index_build(), but I believe it is unlikely that any add-on code is calling that directly. |

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
