(but not locked, as that would risk deadlocks).  Also, make it work in a small
ring of buffers to avoid having bulk inserts trash the whole buffer arena.

if their source or target types match the pattern (using the same definition
of "match" as \dT does).  Per recent discussion.

index column numbers needs to handle the case where you have more than
one scankey on the same index column. toast_fetch_datum_slice() needs it.

change fix for suppress_redundant_updates_trigger() where relation has Oids, to only apply if present Oid is invalid, per second thought from TGL

Hopefully this will forestall future confusion about their roles.

problems in 8.4.

longstanding note in the source that this patch removes.

upon requests from backends, rather than on a fixed 500msec cycle.  (There's
still throttling logic to ensure it writes no more often than once per
500msec, though.)  This should result in a significant reduction in stats file
write traffic in typical scenarios where the stats are demanded only
infrequently.

This approach also means that the former difficulty with changing
stats_temp_directory on-the-fly has gone away, so remove the caution about
that as well as the thrashing we did to minimize the trouble window.

In passing, also fix pgstat_report_stat() so that we will send a stats
message if we have function call stats but not table stats to report;
this fixes a bug in the recent patch to support function-call stats.

allowed different processes to have different addresses for the shmem segment
in quite a long time, but there were still a few places left that used the
old coding convention.  Clean them up to reduce confusion and improve the
compiler's ability to detect pointer type mismatches.

and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al
(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values).  Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.
