pgsql: Remove completed items: < * -Allow limits on per-db/role

Log Message:
-----------
Remove completed items:

< * -Allow limits on per-db/role connections
43d41
< * -Prevent dropping user that still owns objects, or auto-drop the objects
49d46
< * -Add the client IP address and port to pg_stat_activity
< * -Add session start time and last statement time to pg_stat_activity
< * -Add a function that returns the start time of the postmaster
230d224
< o -Allow MIN()/MAX() on arrays
< o -Modify array literal representation to handle array index lower bound
< of other than one
253d244
< * -Add function to return compressed length of TOAST data values
< * -Prevent to_char() on interval from returning meaningless values
<
< For example, to_char('1 month', 'mon') is meaningless. Basically,
< most date-related parameters to to_char() are meaningless for
< intervals because interval is not anchored to a date.
<
< * -Have views on temporary tables exist in the temporary namespace
< * -Allow temporary views on non-temporary tables
329d311
< * -Add BETWEEN SYMMETRIC/ASYMMETRIC
< * -Add E'' escape string marker so eventually ordinary strings can treat
< backslashes literally, for portability
<
< * -Allow additional tables to be specified in DELETE for joins
<
< UPDATE already allows this (UPDATE...FROM) but we need similar
< functionality in DELETE. It's been agreed that the keyword should
< be USING, to avoid anything as confusing as DELETE FROM a FROM b.
<
341d313
< * -Allow REINDEX to rebuild all database indexes
< * -Add an option to automatically use savepoints for each statement in a
< multi-statement transaction.
<
< When enabled, this would allow errors in multi-statement transactions
< to be automatically ignored.
<
426d391
< o -Allow FOR UPDATE queries to do NOWAIT locks
473d437
< o -Allow COPY to understand \x as a hex byte
< o -Allow COPY to optionally include column headings in the first line
< o -Allow COPY FROM ... CSV to interpret newlines and carriage
< returns in data
525d485
< o -Have SHOW ALL show descriptions for server-side variables
< o -Allow PL/PgSQL's RAISE function to take expressions
<
< Currently only constants are supported.
<
< o -Change PL/PgSQL to use palloc() instead of malloc()
545d499
< o -Allow PL/pgSQL EXECUTE query_var INTO record_var;
550d503
< o -Pass arrays natively instead of as text between plperl and postgres
598d550
< o -Add dumping and restoring of LOB comments
638d589
< * -Implement shared row locks and use them in RI triggers
642d592
< * -Allow triggers to be disabled
< * -Add two-phase commit
<
<
< * -Prevent inherited tables from expanding temporary subtables of other
< sessions
< * -Use indexes for MIN() and MAX()
<
< MIN/MAX queries can already be rewritten as SELECT col FROM tab ORDER
< BY col {DESC} LIMIT 1. Completing this item involves doing this
< transformation automatically.
<
< * -Use index to restrict rows returned by multi-key index when used with
< non-consecutive keys to reduce heap accesses
<
< For an index on col1,col2,col3, and a WHERE clause of col1 = 5 and
< col3 = 9, spin though the index checking for col1 and col3 matches,
< rather than just col1; also called skip-scanning.
<
< * -Fetch heap pages matching index entries in sequential order
<
< Rather than randomly accessing heap pages based on index entries, mark
< heap pages needing access in a bitmap and do the lookups in sequential
< order. Another method would be to sort heap ctids matching the index
< before accessing the heap rows.
<
< * -Allow non-bitmap indexes to be combined by creating bitmaps in memory
<
< This feature allows separate indexes to be ANDed or ORed together. This
< is particularly useful for data warehousing applications that need to
< query the database in an many permutations. This feature scans an index
< and creates an in-memory bitmap, and allows that bitmap to be combined
< with other bitmap created in a similar way. The bitmap can either index
< all TIDs, or be lossy, meaning it records just page numbers and each
< page tuple has to be checked for validity in a separate pass.
<
< * -Fix incorrect rtree results due to wrong assumptions about "over"
< operator semantics
782d694
< o -Add concurrency to GIST
813d724
< * -Allow multiple blocks to be written to WAL with one write()
< * -Consider use of open/fcntl(O_DIRECT) to minimize OS caching,
< for WAL writes
<
< O_DIRECT doesn't have the same media write guarantees as fsync, so it
< is in addition to the fsync method, not in place of it.
<
< * -Cache last known per-tuple offsets to speed long tuple access
< * -Allow the size of the buffer cache used by temporary objects to be
< specified as a GUC variable
<
< Larger local buffer cache sizes requires more efficient handling of
< local cache lookups.
<
< * -Improve the background writer
<
< Allow the background writer to more efficiently write dirty buffers
< from the end of the LRU cache and use a clock sweep algorithm to
< write other dirty buffers to reduced checkpoint I/O
<
897d788
< * -Add a warning when the free space map is too small
917d807
< o -Move into the backend code
< * -Make locking of shared data structures more fine-grained
<
< This requires that more locks be acquired but this would reduce lock
< contention, improving concurrency.
<
< * -Improve SMP performance on i386 machines
<
< i386-based SMP machines can generate excessive context switching
< caused by lock failure in high concurrency situations. This may be
< caused by CPU cache line invalidation inefficiencies.
<
979d857
< o -Add ability to turn off full page writes
< * -Eliminate WAL logging for CREATE TABLE AS when not doing WAL archiving
< * -Change WAL to use 32-bit CRC, for performance reasons
<
< * -Use CHECK constraints to influence optimizer decisions
<
< CHECK constraints contain information about the distribution of values
< within the table. This is also useful for implementing subtables where
< a tables content is distributed across several subtables.
<
1045d913
< * -ANALYZE should record a pg_statistic entry for an all-NULL column
1099d966
< * -Remove kerberos4 from source tree
1103d969
< * -Make src/port/snprintf.c thread-safe
1118d983
< * -Add C code on Unix to copy directories for use in creating new databases
1133d997
< o -Improve dlerror() reporting string
