A better workaround for the sentence would be something like:

        "and it also happens that the user always has permission"

Looks easier to read, I think.

for already empty buffers because their buffer tag was not cleard out
when the buffers have been invalidated before.

Also removed the misnamed BM_FREE bufhdr flag and replaced the checks,
which effectively ask if the buffer is unpinned, with checks against the
refcount field.

TABLE.  Per recent discussion.

the view pg_stat_activity is missing, as per Bruces suggestion.

wit: Add a header record to each WAL segment file so that it can be reliably
identified.  Avoid splitting WAL records across segment files (this is not
strictly necessary, but makes it simpler to incorporate the header records).
Make WAL entries for file creation, deletion, and truncation (as foreseen but
never implemented by Vadim).  Also, add support for making XLOG_SEG_SIZE
configurable at compile time, similarly to BLCKSZ.  Fix a couple bugs I
introduced in WAL replay during recent smgr API changes.  initdb is forced
due to changes in pg_control contents.

allow the bgwriter to start before the startup subprocess has finished
... it tends to crash otherwise.  (The same problem may have existed for
the checkpointer, I'm not entirely sure.)  Remove some code that was
redundant because the bgwriter is handled as a member of the backend list.

Remove thread locking for non-thread-safe functions, instead throw a
compile error.

Platforms will have to re-run tools/thread to record their thread
safety.

Without this patch, no thread locking or *_r functions were being used.

< * Make blind writes go through the file descriptor cache

snprintf format for uint64 items.

subroutine in src/port/pgsleep.c.  Remove platform dependencies from
miscadmin.h and put them in port.h where they belong.  Extend recent
vacuum cost-based-delay patch to apply to VACUUM FULL, ANALYZE, and
non-btree index vacuuming.

By the way, where is the documentation for the cost-based-delay patch?

the relcache, and so the notion of 'blind write' is gone.  This should
improve efficiency in bgwriter and background checkpoint processes.
Internal restructuring in md.c to remove the not-very-useful array of
MdfdVec objects --- might as well just use pointers.
Also remove the long-dead 'persistent main memory' storage manager (mm.c),
since it seems quite unlikely to ever get resurrected.

Natoli and Bruce Momjian (and some cosmetic fixes from Neil Conway).
Changes:

    - remove duplicate signal definitions from pqsignal.h

    - replace pqkill() with kill() and redefine kill() in Win32

    - use ereport() in place of fprintf() in some error handling in
      pqsignal.c

    - export pg_queue_signal() and make use of it where necessary

    - add a console control handler for Ctrl-C and similar handling
      on Win32

    - do WaitForSingleObjectEx() in CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() on Win32;
      query cancelling should now work on Win32

    - various other fixes and cleanups

is asked to assign a variable to itself, it will result in doing a
memcpy() on an entirely-overlapping memory range, which results in
undefined behavior according to ANSI C. That said, it is unlikely to
actually do anything bad on any sane libc, but this keeps valgrind quiet.
