RelFileNumbers are now assigned using a separate counter, instead of being assigned from the OID counter. This counter never wraps around: if all 2^56 possible RelFileNumbers are used, an internal error occurs. As the cluster is limited to 2^64 total bytes of WAL, this limitation should not cause a problem in practice. If the counter were 64 bits wide rather than 56 bits wide, we would need to increase the width of the BufferTag, which might adversely impact buffer lookup performance. Also, this lets us use bigint for pg_class.relfilenode and other places where these values are exposed at the SQL level without worrying about overflow. This should remove the need to keep "tombstone" files around until the next checkpoint when relations are removed. We do that to keep RelFileNumbers from being recycled, but now that won't happen anyway. However, this patch doesn't actually change anything in this area; it just makes it possible for a future patch to do so. Dilip Kumar, based on an idea from Andres Freund, who also reviewed some earlier versions of the patch. Further review and some wordsmithing by me. Also reviewed at various points by Ashutosh Sharma, Vignesh C, Amul Sul, Álvaro Herrera, and Tom Lane.

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see which tests get run automatically. authentication/ Tests for authentication (but see also below) examples/ Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via "make check" isolation/ Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level kerberos/ Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption ldap/ Tests for LDAP-based authentication locale/ Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc mb/ Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support modules/ Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable for installing in production databases perl/ Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests recovery/ Test suite for recovery and replication regress/ PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress ssl/ Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling subscription/ Tests for logical replication
