Remove query_planner's overhasty rejection of cases where
tlist and qual are NULL.  It ought to handle these the same as the cases
where tlist contains only constant expressions, ie, be willing to generate
a Result-node plan.  This did not use to matter, but it does now because
union_planner will flatten the tlist when aggregates are present.  Thus,
'select count(1) from table' now causes query_planner to be given a null
tlist, and to duplicate 6.4's behavior we need it to give back a Result
plan rather than refusing the query.  6.4 was arguably doing the Wrong
Thing for this query, but I'm not going to open a semantics issue right

informative error message rather than proceeding to certain coredump.

this one could be useful for people experiencing out-of-memory crashes while
executing queries which retrieve or use a very large number of tuples.

The problem happens when storage is allocated for functions results used in
a large query, for example:

  select upper(name) from big_table;
  select big_table.array[1] from big_table;
  select count(upper(name)) from big_table;

This patch is a dirty hack that fixes the out-of-memory problem for the most
common cases, like the above ones. It is not the final solution for the
problem but it can work for some people, so I'm posting it.

The patch should be safe because all changes are under #ifdef. Furthermore
the feature can be enabled or disabled at runtime by the `free_tuple_memory'
options in the pg_options file. The option is disabled by default and must
be explicitly enabled at runtime to have any effect.

To enable the patch add the follwing line to Makefile.custom:

CUSTOM_COPT += -DFREE_TUPLE_MEMORY

To enable the option at runtime add the following line to pg_option:

   DO NOT cache status of transaction in unknown state
   (i.e. non-committed and non-aborted ones)

   Example:
   T1 reads row updated/inserted by running T2 and cache T2 status.
   T2 commits.
   Now T1 reads a row updated by T2 and with HEAP_XMAX_COMMITTED
   in t_infomask (so cached T2 status is not changed).
   Now T1 EvalPlanQual gets updated row version without HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED
   -> TransactionIdDidCommit(t_xmin) and TransactionIdDidAbort(t_xmin)
   return FALSE and T2 decides that t_xmin is not committed and gets
   ERROR above.

   It's too late to find more smart way to handle such cases and so
   I just changed xact status caching and got rid TransactionIdFlushCache()
   from code.

   Changed: transam.c, xact.c, lmgr.c and transam.h - last three
   just because of TransactionIdFlushCache() is removed.

2. heapam.c:

   T1 marked a row for update. T2 waits for T1 commit/abort.
   T1 commits. T3 updates the row before T2 locks row page.
   Now T2 sees that new row t_xmax is different from xact id (T1)
   T2 was waiting for. Old code did Assert here. New one goes to
   HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate. Obvious changes too.

Hi,

I have updated my contrib code for version 6.5. In the attachment you will
find the directories array, datetime, miscutil, string, tools and userlocks
which replace the corresponding directories under contrib.

In contrib/tools you will find some developement scripts which I use while
hacking the sources. I hope they will be useful for some other people.

I have also added a contrib/Makefile which tries to compile and install all
the contribs. Unfortunately many of them don't have a Makefile or don't
compile cleanly.
