extra overhead in that case.

Instead of prohibiting that, put code into ALTER TABLE to reject ALTERs
that would affect other tables' columns. Eventually we will probably
want to extend ALTER TABLE to actually do something useful here, but
in the meantime it seems wrong to forbid the feature completely just
because ALTER isn't fully baked.

Still a few things to do, like binary I/O and regression tests and docs,
but might as well let people play with the toy.

of a composite type to get that type's OID as their second parameter,
in place of typelem which is useless. The actual changes are mostly
centralized in getTypeInputInfo and siblings, but I had to fix a few
places that were fetching pg_type.typelem for themselves instead of
using the lsyscache.c routines. Also, I renamed all the related variables
from 'typelem' to 'typioparam' to discourage people from assuming that
they necessarily contain array element types.

1. Solve the problem of not having TOAST references hiding inside composite
values by establishing the rule that toasting only goes one level deep:
a tuple can contain toasted fields, but a composite-type datum that is
to be inserted into a tuple cannot. Enforcing this in heap_formtuple
is relatively cheap and it avoids a large increase in the cost of running
the tuptoaster during final storage of a row.
2. Fix some interesting problems in expansion of inherited queries that
reference whole-row variables. We never really did this correctly before,
but it's now relatively painless to solve by expanding the parent's
whole-row Var into a RowExpr() selecting the proper columns from the
child.
If you dike out the preventive check in CheckAttributeType(),
composite-type columns now seem to actually work. However, we surely
cannot ship them like this --- without I/O for composite types, you
can't get pg_dump to dump tables containing them. So a little more
work still to do.

loop over the fields instead of a loop around heap_getattr. This is
considerably faster (O(N) instead of O(N^2)) when there are nulls or
varlena fields, since those prevent use of attcacheoff. Replace loops
over heap_getattr with heap_deformtuple in situations where all or most
of the fields have to be fetched, such as printtup and tuptoaster.
Profiling done more than a year ago shows that this should be a nice
win for situations involving many-column tables.

when someone attempts to create a column of a composite datatype. For
now, just make sure we produce a reasonable error at the 'right place'.
Not sure if this will be made to work before 7.5, but make it act
reasonably in case nothing more gets done.

place of time_t, as per prior discussion. The behavior does not change
on machines without a 64-bit-int type, but on machines with one, which
is most, we are rid of the bizarre boundary behavior at the edges of
the 32-bit-time_t range (1901 and 2038). The system will now treat
times over the full supported timestamp range as being in your local
time zone. It may seem a little bizarre to consider that times in
4000 BC are PST or EST, but this is surely at least as reasonable as
propagating Gregorian calendar rules back that far.
I did not modify the format of the zic timezone database files, which
means that for the moment the system will not know about daylight-savings
periods outside the range 1901-2038. Given the way the files are set up,
it's not a simple decision like 'widen to 64 bits'; we have to actually
think about the range of years that need to be supported. We should
probably inquire what the plans of the upstream zic people are before
making any decisions of our own.

environment variable processing to libpq.
The patch also adds code to our client apps so we set the environment
variable directly based on our binary location, unless it is already
set. This will allow our applications to emit proper locale messages
that are generated in libpq.

locking conflict against concurrent CHECKPOINT that was discussed a few
weeks ago. Also, if not using WAL archiving (which is always true ATM
but won't be if PITR makes it into this release), there's no need to
WAL-log the index build process; it's sufficient to force-fsync the
completed index before commit. This seems to gain about a factor of 2
in my tests, which is consistent with writing half as much data. I did
not try it with WAL on a separate drive though --- probably the gain would
be a lot less in that scenario.

of bug report #1150. Also, arrange that the object owner's irrevocable
grant-option permissions are handled implicitly by the system rather than
being listed in the ACL as self-granted rights (which was wrong anyway).
I did not take the further step of showing these permissions in an
explicit 'granted by _SYSTEM' ACL entry, as that seemed more likely to
bollix up existing clients than to do anything really useful. It's still
a possible future direction, though.

rather than an error code, and does elog(ERROR) not elog(WARNING)
when it detects a problem. All callers were simply elog(ERROR)'ing on
failure return anyway, and I find it hard to envision a caller that would
not, so we may as well simplify the callers and produce the more useful
error message directly.

issue in timestamp conversion that we hacked around for so long by
ignoring the seconds field from localtime(). It's simple: you have
to watch out for platform-specific roundoff error when reducing a
possibly-fractional timestamp to integral time_t form. In particular
we should subtract off the already-determined fractional fsec field.
This should be enough to get an exact answer with int64 timestamps;
with float timestamps, throw in a rint() call just to be sure.

explicitly fsync'ing every (non-temp) file we have written since the
last checkpoint. In the vast majority of cases, the burden of the
fsyncs should fall on the bgwriter process not on backends. (To this
end, we assume that an fsync issued by the bgwriter will force out
blocks written to the same file by other processes using other file
descriptors. Anyone have a problem with that?) This makes the world
safe for WIN32, which ain't even got sync(2), and really makes the world
safe for Unixen as well, because sync(2) never had the semantics we need:
it offers no way to wait for the requested I/O to finish.
Along the way, fix a bug I recently introduced in xlog recovery:
file truncation replay failed to clear bufmgr buffers for the dropped
blocks, which could result in 'PANIC: heap_delete_redo: no block'
later on in xlog replay.

than being random pieces of other files. Give bgwriter responsibility
for all checkpoint activity (other than a post-recovery checkpoint);
so this child process absorbs the functionality of the former transient
checkpoint and shutdown subprocesses. While at it, create an actual
include file for postmaster.c, which for some reason never had its own
file before.

this is an aclmask function and does not have the same return convention
as aclcheck functions. Also adjust the behavior so that users without
CREATE TEMP permission still have USAGE permission on their session's
temp schema. This allows privileged code to create a temp table and
make it accessible to code that's not got the same privilege. (Since
the default permissions on a table are no-access, an explicit grant on
the table will still be needed; but I see no reason that the temp schema
itself should prohibit such access.)

about a third, make it work on non-Windows platforms again. (But perhaps
I broke the WIN32 code, since I have no way to test that.) Fold all the
paths that fork postmaster child processes to go through the single
routine SubPostmasterMain, which takes care of resurrecting the state that
would normally be inherited from the postmaster (including GUC variables).
Clean up some places where there's no particularly good reason for the
EXEC and non-EXEC cases to work differently. Take care of one or two
FIXMEs that remained in the code.

of ThisStartUpID and RedoRecPtr into new backends. It's a lot easier just
to make them all grab the values out of shared memory during startup.
This helps to decouple the postmaster from checkpoint execution, which I
need since I'm intending to let the bgwriter do it instead, and it also
fixes a bug in the Win32 port: ThisStartUpID wasn't getting propagated at
all AFAICS. (Doesn't give me a lot of faith in the amount of testing that
port has gotten.)

ListCells are only 8 bytes instead of 12 (on 4-byte-pointer machines
anyway), it's worth maintaining a separate freelist for 8-byte objects.
Remembering that alloc chunks carry 8 bytes of overhead, this should
reduce the net storage requirement for a long List by about a third.

the four functions.
> Also, please justify the temp-related changes. I was not aware that we
> had any breakage there.
patch-tmp-schema.txt contains the following bits:
*) Changes pg_namespace_aclmask() so that the superuser is always able
to create objects in the temp namespace.
*) Changes pg_namespace_aclmask() so that if this is a temp namespace,
objects are only allowed to be created in the temp namespace if the
user has TEMP privs on the database. This encompasses all object
creation, not just TEMP tables.
*) InitTempTableNamespace() checks to see if the current user, not the
session user, has access to create a temp namespace.
The first two changes are necessary to support the third change. Now
it's possible to revoke all temp table privs from non-super users and
limiting all creation of temp tables/schemas via a function that's
executed with elevated privs (security definer). Before this change,
it was not possible to have a setuid function to create a temp
table/schema if the session user had no TEMP privs.
patch-area-path.txt contains:
*) Can now determine the area of a closed path.
patch-dfmgr.txt contains:
*) Small tweak to add the library path that's being expanded.
I was using $lib/foo.so and couldn't easily figure out what the error
message, "invalid macro name in dynamic library path" meant without
looking through the source code. With the path in there, at least I
know where to start looking in my config file.
