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 ;-)

and RelationNameGetTupleDesc() as deprecated; remove uses of the
latter in the contrib library. Along the way, clean up crosstab()
code and documentation a little.
from Abhijit Menon-Sen, minor editorialization from Neil Conway. Also,
improve md5(text) to allocate a constant-sized buffer on the stack
rather than via palloc.
Catalog version bumped.
- make sure we always invoke user-supplied GiST methods in a short-lived
memory context. This means the backend isn't exposed to any memory leaks
that be in those methods (in fact, it is probably a net loss for most
GiST methods to bother manually freeing memory now). This also means
we can do away with a lot of ugly manual memory management in the
GiST code itself.
- keep the current page of a GiST index scan pinned, rather than doing a
ReadBuffer() for each tuple produced by the scan. Since ReadBuffer() is
expensive, this is a perf. win
- implement dead tuple killing for GiST indexes (which is easy to do, now
that we keep a pin on the current scan page). Now all the builtin indexes
implement dead tuple killing.
- cleanup a lot of ugly code in GiST
* Add session start time to pg_stat_activity
* Add the client IP address and port to pg_stat_activity
Original patch from Magnus Hagander, code review by Neil Conway. Catalog
version bumped. This patch sends the client IP address and port number in
every statistics message; that's not ideal, but will be fixed up shortly.
output area as INTERNAL not CSTRING. This is to prevent people from
calling the functions by hand. This is a permanent solution for the
back branches but I hope it is just a stopgap for HEAD.
to produce when running the executor. This is consistent with the internal
executor APIs (such as ExecutorRun), which also use a long for this purpose.
It also allows FETCH_ALL to be passed -- since FETCH_ALL is defined as
LONG_MAX, this wouldn't have worked on platforms where int and long are of
different sizes. Per report from Tzahi Fadida.
only one argument. (Per recent discussion, the option to accept multiple
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.
to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE
paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU
data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple-
transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared
lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set
of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows
an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before,
while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually
has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control
the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock.
