SI invalidation events, rather than indirectly through the relcache. In the previous coding, we had to flush a composite-type typcache entry whenever we discarded the corresponding relcache entry. This caused problems at least when testing with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as shown in recent report from Jeff Davis, and might result in real-world problems given the kind of unexpected relcache flush that that test mechanism is intended to model. The new coding decouples relcache and typcache management, which is a good thing anyway from a structural perspective. The cost is that we have to search the typcache linearly to find entries that need to be flushed. There are a couple of ways we could avoid that, but at the moment it's not clear it's worth any extra trouble, because the typcache contains very few entries in typical operation. Back-patch to 8.2, the same as some other recent fixes in this general area. The patch could be carried back to 8.0 with some additional work, but given that it's only hypothetical whether we're fixing any problem observable in the field, it doesn't seem worth the work now. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more common listed below: C++ - http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/ JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/ PHP - http://www.php.net Python - http://www.initd.org/ Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing parties. PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available, a short, incomplete list is below: PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Java - http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/ PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution 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. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
