file.  The original code probed the PGPROC array separately for each PID,
which was not good for large numbers of backends: not only is the runtime
O(N^2) but most of it is spent holding ProcArrayLock.  Instead, take the
lock just once and copy the active PIDs into an array, then use qsort
and bsearch so that the lookup time is more like O(N log N).

one) or in a failed transaction (reject message, except for COMMIT/ROLLBACK
statements which we can handle).  Per report from Francisco Figueiredo Jr.

an area we seem to break regularly :-(

reduce contention for the former single LockMgrLock.  Per my recent
proposal.  I set it up for 16 partitions, but on a pgbench test this
gives only a marginal further improvement over 4 partitions --- we need
to test more scenarios to choose the number of partitions.

the data defining the semantics of a lock method (ie, conflict resolution
table and ancillary data, which is all constant) and the hash tables
storing the current state.  The only thing we give up by this is the
ability to use separate hashtables for different lock methods, but there
is no need for that anyway.  Put some extra fields into the LockMethod
definition structs to clean up some other uglinesses, like hard-wired
tests for DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD and USER_LOCKMETHOD.  This commit doesn't
do anything about the performance issues we were discussing, but it clears
away some of the underbrush that's in the way of fixing that.

DROP CONSTRAINT

    This form drops constraints on a table. Currently, constraints on tables
    are not required to have unique names, so there may be more than one
    constraint matching the specified name. All matching constraints will be
    dropped.

To my knowledge, it is no longer possible to create constraints with the
same name for the same relation. When you create a constraint and specify
the same name explictly, an error is raised. Implicit constraint creation
won't choose an existing name either and up to now you could not rename a
constraint. Renaming works with the patch I sent in a few hours ago but this
patch as well won't allow constraints with identical names on the same
relation.

The attached patch thus removes the note in the docs.
