existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features. Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks. All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption. All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.
Define a new function, GetCurrentTransactionStartTimeUsec() to get the time
to this precision.
Allow now() and timestamp 'now' to use this higher precision result so
we now have fractional seconds in this "constant".
Add timestamp without time zone type.
Move previous timestamp type to timestamp with time zone.
Accept another ISO variant for date/time values: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
(note the "T" separating the day from hours information).
Remove 'current' from date/time types; convert to 'now' in input.
Separate time and timetz regression tests.
Separate timestamp and timestamptz regression test.
a hung client or lost connection can't indefinitely block a postmaster
child (not to mention the possibility of deliberate DoS attacks).
Timeout is controlled by new authentication_timeout GUC variable,
which I set to 60 seconds by default ... does that seem reasonable?
Frank Miles 7-Sep-01. This is really just sticking a finger in the dike.
Frank's case works now, but we still couldn't support a recursive function
returning a set. Really need to restructure querytrees and execution
state so that the querytree is *read only*. We've run into this over and
over and over again ... it has to happen sometime soon.
under libdir, for a cleaner separation in the installation layout
and compatibility with binary packaging standards. Point backend's
default search location there. The contrib modules are also
installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the
default search path as well. No changes in user interface
nevertheless.

Here's rev 2 of the bytea string support patch. Changes:
1. Added missing declaration for MatchBytea function
2. Added PQescapeBytea to fe-exec.c
3. Applies cleanly on cvs tip from this afternoon
I'm hoping that someone can review/approve/apply this before beta starts, so
I guess I'd vote (not that it counts for much) to delay beta a few days :-)

Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)
In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.
Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.
Disallow dropping the current user and session user.
Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back. This could lead to "deadlocks".)
CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

Forget it! A default client encoding must be set by actual database encoding...
Please apply the small attached patch that solve it better.

We will no longer try to send elog messages to the client before we have
initialized backend libpq (oops); however, reporting bogus commandline
switches via elog does work now (not irrelevant, because of PGOPTIONS).
Fix problem with inappropriate sending of checkpoint-process messages
to stderr.
for them, and making them just wastes time during backend startup/shutdown.
Also, remove compile-time MAXBACKENDS limit per long-ago proposal.
You can now set MaxBackends as high as your kernel can stand without
any reconfiguration/recompilation.

Fixed.
I found new bug in command/variable.c in parse_client_encoding(), nobody
probably never see this error:
if (pg_set_client_encoding(encoding))
{
elog(ERROR, "Conversion between %s and %s is not supported",
value, GetDatabaseEncodingName());
}
because pg_set_client_encoding() returns -1 for error and 0 as true.
It's fixed too.
IMHO it can be apply.

- new millisecond (ms) and microsecond (us) support
- more robus parsing from string - used is separator checking for
non-exact formats like to_date('2001-9-1', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
- SGML docs are included

If there's anyone out there who's actually using datatype-defined
default values, this will be an incompatible change in behavior ...
but the old behavior was so broken that I doubt anyone was using it.
buffer manager with 'pg_clog', a specialized access method modeled
on pg_xlog. This simplifies startup (don't need to play games to
open pg_log; among other things, OverrideTransactionSystem goes away),
should improve performance a little, and opens the door to recycling
commit log space by removing no-longer-needed segments of the commit
log. Actual recycling is not there yet, but I felt I should commit
this part separately since it'd still be useful if we chose not to
do transaction ID wraparound.
pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.
Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.
