chdir into PGDATA and subsequently use relative paths instead of absolute
paths to access all files under PGDATA. This seems to give a small
performance improvement, and it should make the system more robust
against naive DBAs doing things like moving a database directory that
has a live postmaster in it. Per recent discussion.
and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this
patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for
instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can
make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should
be pretty much done.

Add GUC variables:
"escape_string_warning" - warn about backslashes in non-E strings
"escape_string_syntax" - supports E'' syntax?
"standard_compliant_strings" - treats backslashes literally in ''
Update code to use E'' when escapes are used.

NEW KERBEROS MATCHING BEHAVIOR FOR 8.1.

postgresql.conf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:
1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.
2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.
3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.
4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)

many successive queries about the same user (ie, the current user) this

arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely
source of security holes if it was used.) Simplify call sites of
output/send functions to not bother passing more than one argument.
logic operations during planning. Seems cleaner to create two new Path
node types, instead --- this avoids duplication of cost-estimation code.
Also, create an enable_bitmapscan GUC parameter to control use of bitmap
plans.
avoid encroaching on the 'user' range of OIDs by allowing automatic
OID assignment to use values below 16k until we reach normal operation.
initdb not forced since this doesn't make any incompatible change;
however a lot of stuff will have different OIDs after your next initdb.

we perfer o_datasync to fsync.
Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called
fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is
what is used for fsync on Win32.
Backpatch to 8.0.X.
Document use of macros for pg_printf functions.
Bump major versions of all interfaces to handle movement of get_progname
from libpq to libpgport in 8.0, and probably other libpgport changes in 8.1.
the freelist, plus per-buffer spinlocks that protect access to individual
shared buffer headers. This requires abandoning a global freelist (since
the freelist is a global contention point), which shoots down ARC and 2Q
as well as plain LRU management. Adopt a clock sweep algorithm instead.
Preliminary results show substantial improvement in multi-backend situations.
in favor of looking at the flat file copy of pg_database during backend
startup. This should finally eliminate the various corner cases in which
backend startup fails unexpectedly because it isn't able to distinguish
live and dead tuples in pg_database. Simplify locking on pg_database
to be similar to the rules used with pg_shadow and pg_group, and eliminate
FlushRelationBuffers operations that were used only to reduce the odds
of failure of GetRawDatabaseInfo.
initdb forced due to addition of a trigger to pg_database.

picked up the right entries ...
