by a recent HP C compiler.  Mostly, get rid of useless local variables
that are assigned to but never used.

- add forgotten check of lsn for insert completion
- remove level of pages: hard to check in recovery
- some cleanups

- full concurrency for insert/update/select/vacuum:
        - select and vacuum never locks more than one page simultaneously
        - select (gettuple) hasn't any lock across it's calls
        - insert never locks more than two page simultaneously:
                - during search of leaf to insert it locks only one page
                  simultaneously
                - while walk upward to the root it locked only parent (may be
                  non-direct parent) and child. One of them X-lock, another may
                  be S- or X-lock
- 'vacuum full' locks index
- improve gistgetmulti
- simplify XLOG records

Fix bug in index_beginscan_internal: LockRelation may clean
  rd_aminfo structure, so move GET_REL_PROCEDURE after LockRelation

2. improve vacuum for gist
   - use FSM
   - full vacuum:
      - reforms parent tuple if it's needed
        ( tuples was deleted on child page or parent tuple remains invalid
          after crash recovery )
      - truncate index file if possible
3. fixes bugs and mistakes

recovery after crash (power loss etc) it may say that it can't restore
index and index should be reindexed.

Some refactoring code.

That code is never going to be used in the foreseeable future, and
where it's more than a stub it's making the redo routines harder to
read.

external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST
API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the
public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into
gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should
be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions.

Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes
from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(),
and GISTNStrategies.

- 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

methods: they all invoke UpdateStats() since they have computed the
number of heap tuples, so I created a function in catalog/index.c that
each AM now calls.

convention for isnull flags.  Also, remove the useless InsertIndexResult
return struct from index AM aminsert calls --- there is no reason for
the caller to know where in the index the tuple was inserted, and we
were wasting a palloc cycle per insert to deliver this uninteresting
value (plus nontrivial complexity in some AMs).
I forced initdb because of the change in the signature of the aminsert
routines, even though nothing really looks at those pg_proc entries...

Tag appropriate files for rc3

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

boxes. Change interface to user-defined GiST support methods union and
picksplit. Now instead of bytea struct it used special GistEntryVector
structure.

subroutine in src/port/pgsleep.c.  Remove platform dependencies from
miscadmin.h and put them in port.h where they belong.  Extend recent
vacuum cost-based-delay patch to apply to VACUUM FULL, ANALYZE, and
non-btree index vacuuming.

By the way, where is the documentation for the cost-based-delay patch?

pointer type when it is not necessary to do so.

For future reference, casting NULL to a pointer type is only necessary
when (a) invoking a function AND either (b) the function has no prototype
OR (c) the function is a varargs function.

end of a btree index.  This isn't super-effective, since we won't move
nondeletable pages, but it's better than nothing.  Also, improve stats
displayed during VACUUM VERBOSE.

now knows what to do upon hitting a dead page (in theory anyway, it's
untested...).  Add a post-VACUUM-cleanup entry point for index AMs, to
provide a place for dead-page scavenging to happen.
Also, fix oversight that broke btpo_prev links in temporary indexes.
initdb forced due to additions in pg_am.

to MemSet is a performance boost.

Patch from Teodor Sigaev.

transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM.  Saves
repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows.  Also detect
queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and
don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match.

Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree
or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in
those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning
the index page).

Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and
index_insert to make this a little easier.

yesterday's proposal to pghackers.  Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan.  I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.

o  Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING.  We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.

o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.

o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.

o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.

Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.

Regression passed.

"bad smell" in that code. Stuff like function parameters that aren't
used, typos in the comments, comparison between signed and unsigned
ints, etc.

Attached is a pretty trivial patch; it compiles, but beyond that
completely untested. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for
7.3.

now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.  Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
