Don't hardcode the maximum accepted server version, use PG_VERSION instead.
Install a notice processor so notices are handled like error messages.

awhile, but the man page didn't know it.

Other small improvements.

default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them.
Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.

Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.

other). Here is a quick patch to remove one instance of it.

clauses are equal(), before trying to match them up using btree opclass

non-btree operations, for example 'x IS NULL'.  Clean up code a little.

of 'int4' and 'double'.  Add 'char' and 'int2' to allow user-defined types
to access the full set of supported alignments.

it copies the tupdesc into upper-executor memory.  This is necessary
for returning tuple descriptors without leaking all of lower exec memory.

I noticed that pltcl didn't have any way to get to SPI_lastoid like plpgsql does.. I started using pltcl a lot because I like to decide when and how my queries get planned.. so I put one together really quick

Sorry I don't have the original around to make a quick diff, but its a very small change... I think this should be in the next release, there's no reason not to have it.

its a function with no expected arguments, so you can use it like:
spi_exec "INSERT INTO mytable(columns...) VALUES(values..)"
set oid [spi_lastoid]
spi_exec "SELECT mytable_id from mytable WHERE oid=$oid"

It just didn't make sense for me to use plpgsql and pltcl, or just screw
them both and use SPI from C.

anymore.

Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.

per previous discussion on pghackers.  Most of the duplicate code in
different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine
in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about
inserting recently-dead tuples, etc.  (I also removed support for EXTEND
INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and
it cluttered the code a lot.)  The retail indextuple deletion routines have
been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside
the access method.  I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet,
but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping
for deletions.  Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various
hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns.

Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this,
gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko
bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with
the performance problems we've heard about occasionally).

Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static
state that needs to be reset after an error.  We discovered this need long
ago for btree, but missed the other guys.

Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.

they used to be required to appear in.
Also, some changes from Tom Lane to create a FULL option for VACUUM;
it doesn't do anything yet, but I needed to change many of the same
files to make that happen, so now seemed like a good time.

I just finished changing the GENERIC files and the options(4) man page
on NetBSD to make this clearer.

do anything yet, but it has the necessary connections to initialization
and so forth.  Make some gestures towards allowing number of blocks in
a relation to be BlockNumber, ie, unsigned int, rather than signed int.
(I doubt I got all the places that are sloppy about it, yet.)  On the
way, replace the hardwired NLOCKS_PER_XACT fudge factor with a GUC
variable.
