      Remove unportable use of anonymous unions from reorderbuffer.h. · ea177a3b
      Tom Lane authored
      In b89e1510 I had assumed it was ok to use anonymous unions as
      struct members, but while a longstanding extension in many compilers,
      it's only been standardized in C11.
      
      To fix, remove one of the anonymous unions which tried to hide some
      implementation specific enum values and give the other a name. The
      latter unfortunately requires changes in output plugins, but since the
      feature has only been added a few days ago...

      Introduce logical decoding. · b89e1510
      Robert Haas authored
      This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log
      stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is,
      inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them.
      It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema
      of the effected tables.  The output format is controlled by a
      so-called "output plugin"; an example is included.  To make use of
      this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be
      modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system,
      and to perform filtering.
      
      Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding
      system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream
      changes via walsender.
