redirections between the build files, which didn't work completely.  Now
you just go to the directory of your choice and run make.  Clean up the
build files to have a logical order, fix the unnecessary rebuilds, prevent
the deleting targets from removing files they're not responsible for.  Ant
1.3 does not have a bug.  It deletes directories just fine if you follow
the documentation.

to wait until it's safe to remove tuples and compact free space in a
shared buffer page.  Miscellaneous small code cleanups in bufmgr, too.

the startup exchange is complete.  Also make sure that packets defined as
single bytes aren't sent with a trailing '\0'.

not holding a pin on the page.  Use double instead of long to count
rows in relation, so that code still works for > LONG_MAX rows in rel.

Then, run a small reality test with $ANT to see whether it works.

constraint.  This case (a) is useless, (b) violates SQL92, and
(c) is certain to cause a failure downstream when we try to create
an index with duplicated column names.  So give an appropriate error
message instead of letting the index failure occur.  Per report from
Colin Strickland.  NOTE: currently, CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo(f1,f1)
still fails with 'cannot insert duplicate key' error.  Should we
change that too?  What about functional indexes?

suggestion.

--verbose messages, which had not been considered so far.  Output to the

only, which may or may not be the desirable thing.

to start it before we have acquired the data directory lock; also a
bad idea to start it before we have set up to catch SIGCHLD signals.

useful as yet, since its primary source of information is (full) VACUUM,
which makes a concerted effort to get rid of free space before telling
the map about it ... next stop is concurrent VACUUM ...

Probably the right fix is to remove 'current' special value entirely,
but I don't want to see regression test failures until that happens.

actually work.  It had been throwing an Assert as of my recent changes
to bufmgr.c, but was not really right even before that AFAICT.

immediately, we will fork a child even if the database state does not
permit connections to be accepted (eg, we are in recovery mode).
The child process will correctly reject the connection and exit as
soon as it's finished collecting the connection request message.
However, this means that reaper() must be prepared to see child
process exit signals even while it's waiting for startup or shutdown
process to finish.  As was, a connection request arriving during a
database recovery or shutdown would cause postmaster abort.

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

appropriate, e.g., with outer joins.

Add 'do { ... } while (0)' decoration to eliminate compiler warnings.
