This patch makes two minor fixes to the docs: (1) fixes a
spelling mistake in the PREPARE ref page (2) Makes some
English more consistent, in the ref pages for some of the

There is a misstatement in the CLOSE reference page, now that we

patch is attached that fixes this (suggestions on better wording
are welcome).

(I always forget what the magic numbers 0 through 2 means for the
"syslog" option.)
By the way: The "virtual_host" parameter is a bad name for that
particular option, I think. "Virtual host" signals that PostgreSQL will
behave differently according to which IP address it's contacted (like
Apache's virtual host support which makes the web-server serve different
sites according to different criteria). A better word for the options
would be "tcpip_listen_addr" or something like that.

Rewrite array_cmp to not depend on deconstruct_array. Should be a little
faster, but more importantly does not leak memory. Still needs more work
though, per my recent note to pgsql-hackers.

libpq failed to cope with COPY FROM STDIN if the command was issued
via extended query protocol, because it sends Sync right after Execute
without realizing that the command to be executed is COPY. There seems
to be no reasonable way for it to realize that, either, so the best fix
seems to be to make the backend ignore Sync during copy-in mode. Bit of
a wart on the protocol, but little alternative. Also, libpq must send
another Sync after terminating the COPY, if the command was issued via
Execute.

Add PQexecPrepared() and PQsendQueryPrepared() functions, to allow

Per yesterday's discussion, this offers enough performance improvement
to justify bending the 'no new features during beta' rule.

Move MemoryContextCheck() call from bottom of PostgresMain loop to

to put it since commit discards a lot of contexts, and we'd not find
out about stomps affecting only transaction-local contexts.

I'm quite fond of doing VPATH builds, i.e. building outside the source

patch for one of them (replacing an explicit reference to thread.c with
a reference to it as the first prerequsite of the rule makes make look

Rewriter and planner should use only resno, not resname, to identify

Applied patch from Kim Ho to fix a regression against a 7.4 server. The result
of transaction isolation level changed from uppercase to lower case between 7.3 and 7.4. In testing, a regression was also fixed in this area when talking to

code.

Code cleanup inspired by recent resname bug report (doesn't fix the bug
yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a
common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular
resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded
search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with
llast().

Repair potential deadlock created by recent changes to recycle btree
index pages: when _bt_getbuf asks the FSM for a free index page, it is
possible (and, in some cases, even moderately likely) that the answer
will be the same page that _bt_split is trying to split. _bt_getbuf
already knew that the returned page might not be free, but it wasn't
prepared for the possibility that even trying to lock the page could
be problematic. Fix by doing a conditional rather than unconditional
grab of the page lock.
