protocol, per report from Igor Shevchenko. NOTIFY thought it could
do its thing if transaction blockState is TBLOCK_DEFAULT, but in
reality it had better check the low-level transaction state is
TRANS_DEFAULT as well. Formerly it was not possible to wait for the
client in a state where the first is true and the second is not ...
but now we can have such a state. Minor cleanup in StartTransaction()
as well.

post-abort cleanup hooks. I'm surprised that we have not needed this
already, but I need it now to fix a plpgsql problem, and the usefulness
for other dynamically loaded modules seems obvious.

now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache
indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This
leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index
deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared-
index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone
mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes)
now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates.
It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs
can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except
shared catalogs.

fixed incorrect initial setting of StartUpID. The logic in XLogWrite()
expects that Write->curridx is advanced to the next page as soon as
LogwrtResult points to the end of the current page, but StartupXLOG()
failed to make that happen when the old WAL ended exactly on a page
boundary. Per trouble report from Hannu Krosing.

least-recently-used strategy from clog.c into slru.c. It doesn't
change any visible behaviour and passes all regression tests plus a
TruncateCLOG test done manually.
Apart from refactoring I made a little change to SlruRecentlyUsed,
formerly ClogRecentlyUsed: It now skips incrementing lru_counts, if
slotno is already the LRU slot, thus saving a few CPU cycles. To make
this work, lru_counts are initialised to 1 in SimpleLruInit.
SimpleLru will be used by pg_subtrans (part of the nested transactions
project), so the main purpose of this patch is to avoid future code
duplication.

example from Rao Kumar. This is a very corner corner-case, requiring
a minimum of three closely-spaced database crashes and an unlucky
positioning of the second recovery's checkpoint record before you'd notice
any problem. But the consequences are dire enough that it's a must-fix.

only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take

logic in libpq.

but that was enough tedium for one day. Along the way, move the few

dead xlog segments are not considered part of a critical section. It is
not necessary to force a database-wide panic if we get a failure in these
operations. Per recent trouble reports.

Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed
within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the
load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure
code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c,
so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries.

for tableID/columnID in RowDescription. (The latter isn't really
implemented yet though --- the backend always sends zeroes, and libpq
just throws away the data.)

initial values and runtime changes in selected parameters. This gets
rid of the need for an initial 'select pg_client_encoding()' query in
libpq, bringing us back to one message transmitted in each direction
for a standard connection startup. To allow server version to be sent
using the same GUC mechanism that handles other parameters, invent the
concept of a never-settable GUC parameter: you can 'show server_version'
but it's not settable by any GUC input source. Create 'lc_collate' and
'lc_ctype' never-settable parameters so that people can find out these
settings without need for pg_controldata. (These side ideas were all
discussed some time ago in pgsql-hackers, but not yet implemented.)

(materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier.
I've updated the documentation and the regression tests.
Notes on the implementation:
- I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it
won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp
files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at
end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control
this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK?
- in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new
CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the
current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the
Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the
particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of
ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution
that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is
passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data
structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the
Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the
tupleReceiver code, but it works...
The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API --
Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function.
In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add
any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get
access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for
a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time,
the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent.
- (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and
adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on
-hackers.
- (unrelated) Cleaned up some SGML markup in sql.sgml, copy.sgml

support btree compaction, as per proposal of a few days ago. btree index
pages no longer store parent links, instead they have a level indicator
(counting up from zero for leaf pages). The FixBTree recovery logic is
removed, and replaced by code that detects missing parent-level insertions
during WAL replay. Also, generate appropriate WAL entries when updating
btree metapage and when building a btree index from scratch. I believe
btree indexes are now completely WAL-legal for the first time.

rather than actually opening the files. This eliminates some corner cases
where the file indeed exists but open() fails for another reason, such
as being out of file descriptors. The net reliability gain is probably
tiny, since xlog.c is full of other file open calls that will elog(PANIC)
if they fail for any reason; but this specific failure mode has been
observed in the field, so we may as well fix it.

-hackers a couple days ago.
Notes/caveats:
- added regression tests for the new functionality, all
regression tests pass on my machine
- added pg_dump support
- updated PL/PgSQL to support per-statement triggers; didn't
look at the other procedural languages.
- there's (even) more code duplication in trigger.c than there
was previously. Any suggestions on how to refactor the
ExecXXXTriggers() functions to reuse more code would be
welcome -- I took a brief look at it, but couldn't see an
easy way to do it (there are several subtly-different
versions of the code in question)
- updated the documentation. I also took the liberty of
removing a big chunk of duplicated syntax documentation in
the Programmer's Guide on triggers, and moving that
information to the CREATE TRIGGER reference page.
- I also included some spelling fixes and similar small
cleanups I noticed while making the changes. If you'd like
me to split those into a separate patch, let me know.

before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe
if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid
sequence of WAL entries. Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when
no longer needed. Use an enum instead of random macros. Editorialize
on names used for routines and constants. Teach backend/nodes routines
about new field in CreateTable struct. Add a regression test.

postgres.h or c.h includes a system header (such as stdio.h or
stdlib.h), there's no need to specifically include it in any of the .c
files in the backend.

principled order; in particular ensure that all shared resources
are released before we release transaction locks. The code used
to release locks before buffer pins, which might explain an ancient
note I have about a bufmgr assertion failure I'd seen once several
years ago, and been unable to reproduce since. (Theory: someone
trying to drop a relation might be able to reach FlushRelationBuffers
before the last user of the relation had gotten around to dropping
his buffer pins.)
