This seems the cleanest way of fixing its lack of a shutdown callback,
which was preventing it from working correctly in a query that didn't
run it to completion. Per bug report from Szima GÄbor.
must be stale. Tweak example startup scripts to not use pg_ctl but launch
the postmaster directly, thereby ensuring that only the postmaster's direct
parent shell will be a postgres-owned process. In combination these should
fix the longstanding problem of the postmaster sometimes refusing to start
during reboot because it thinks the old lockfile is not stale.
of locking used by REINDEX. REINDEX needs only ShareLock on the parent
table, same as CREATE INDEX, plus an exclusive lock on the specific index
being processed.
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.
now are supposed to take some kind of lock on an index whenever you
are going to access the index contents, rather than relying only on a
lock on the parent table.
a separate production func_expr. This allows us to accept all these
variants in the backwards-compatible syntax for creating a functional
index; which beats documenting exactly which things work and which don't.
Interestingly, it also seems to make the generated state machine a little
bit smaller.
(1) Replace while loop with the new forboth() construct in
parser/analyze.c
(2) Replace lcons() with lappend() in SearchCatCacheList(). Since these
now have the same performance, there is no reason to prefer lcons() in
this case, and using lappend() leads to cleaner code.
(3) Improve the name of the second parameter to for_each_cell()
and hopefully improve code clarity while at it. One intentional
semantics change: a backslashed space will not be treated as removable
trailing whitespace, as the prior coding would do. ISTM that if it
wouldn't be considered removable leading whitespace, it shouldn't be
stripped at the end either.

into the mingw one.
This is not the same as the versioninfo patch that's in the queue.
Please apply this one before beta-3 if at all possible.

setting is valid must ignore that state and permit the assignment anyway
when source is PGC_S_OVERRIDE. Otherwise they may disallow a rollback
