* Add built-in userlock manipulation functions to replace the formerTom Lane2006-09-18
| | | | | | | contrib functionality. Along the way, remove the USER_LOCKS configuration symbol, since it no longer makes any sense to try to compile that out. No user documentation yet ... mmoncure has promised to write some. Thanks to Abhijit Menon-Sen for creating a first draft to work from.

* Fix CREATE TABLE ... AS VALUES ... to work rather than Assert'ing;Tom Lane2006-09-18
| | | | | | oversight in original implementation of VALUES. Also fix an oversight in recent addition of options to CREATE TABLE AS: they weren't getting propagated if the query was a set-operation such as UNION.
* Change ANALYZE to take ShareUpdateExclusiveLock not AccessShareLock onTom Lane2006-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | the table being analyzed. This prevents two ANALYZEs from running concurrently on the same table and possibly suffering concurrent-update failures while trying to store their results into pg_statistic. The downside is that a database-wide ANALYZE executed within a transaction block will hold ShareUpdateExclusiveLock on many tables simultaneously, which could lead to concurrency issues or even deadlock against another such ANALYZE. However, this seems a corner case of less importance than getting unexpected errors from a foreground ANALYZE when autovacuum elects to analyze the same table concurrently. Per discussion.
* Marginal cleanup in arrangements for ensuring StrategyHintVacuum is clearedTom Lane2006-09-17
| | | | | | | | | after an error during VACUUM. We have a PG_TRY block anyway around the only call sites, so just reset it in the CATCH clause instead of having AtEOXact_Buffers blindly do it during xact end. I think the old code was actively wrong for the case of a failure during ANALYZE inside a subtransaction --- the flag wouldn't get cleared until main transaction end. Probably not worth back-patching though.
* Update TODO for short header versions:Bruce Momjian2006-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | < o Reorder physical storage order to reduce padding? < < This involves having the user-specified order of columns < be different from the physical order. SELECT * would < need to reorder the physical values to match the < user-specified ordering. < < o Store disk pages with no alignment/padding? < < This necessitates adding CPU-required padding when moving < rows from disk to memory. < < One idea is to store the header in network byte order (high bits < first), and read the high bits to determine the header length. < http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-09/msg00848.php > One idea is to create zero-or-one-byte-header versions > of varlena data types.

* Rename the recently-added pg_timezonenames view to pg_timezone_abbrevs,Tom Lane2006-09-16

* Rename xml_valid() to xml_is_well_formed(), but provide a temporaryTom Lane2006-09-16
| | | | | | alias with the old name for backwards compatibility. Per discussion, the old name is actively wrong because validity and well-formedness have different meanings in XML.
