pgindent

Just a reminder that once all the patches are in, I need to run
pgindent.

CREATE CAST requires immutable cast function?

It says here that CREATE CAST insists the cast function be immutable.
This seems wrong to me, in view of the fact that we have numerous
built-in casts that don't adhere to that rule --- for example,
timestamptz(date) is not immutable because it depends on the timezone
setting.

Perhaps there's a case for prohibiting volatile casts (as opposed to
stable ones), but I don't really see it.  I'd prefer to just remove
this restriction.  Comments?

Volatile casts can blow up.  I am sure that is the reasoning.  ;-)

Help with finding checkpoint code

I am trying to find when WAL log files are rotated.  The message is:

  2002-02-11 21:18:13 DEBUG: recycled transaction log file 0000000000000005

and it is printed in MoveOfflineLogs(), and MoveOfflineLogs() is only
called by CreateCheckPoint(), but I can't see where CreateCheckPoint()
is called in normal operation.  I see it called by CHECKPOINT, and on
startup and shutdown, and from bootstrap, but where is it called during
normal backend operation.

I see it on TruncateCLOG(), src/backend/access/transam/clog.c; that is
called by vacuum code.  Also on CheckPoinDataBase(), macro in
src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c (this is called on a periodic basis
AFAIU)

Impending freeze


When is the beta freeze?

I've just started looking at a ToDo list item and hope it won't take too
long. However, I've got other things to do and this is the first I've looked in
this area. An idea about time left to complete it would be good so I decide if
I'm wasting my time and effort at the moment.

Oops, my fault for being imprecise.

I was wondering what time of day with timezone. Someone suggested end of today
but that means different times to different people.

This is what Marc said yesterday:

Yup, I believe that it is the case that both the US and Canada
"celebrate"
labour day on Monday, correct?  If so, then let's put the freeze on
effective 8:30amADT on Tuesday morning, at which point I'll put a tag in
place, and will package Beta1 up for the initial round of testing ...

I don't know if that suggestion will go through or not, but I can't see
why not.
