* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php) * possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns * add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC - pickSplit should check its values to use already defined spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum. * support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal but correct split * remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of value is defined by it's type. * split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit and second - for internal use. * some code refactoring * support of subsplit to rtree opclasses TODO: add support of subsplit to contrib modules
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more common listed below: C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/ JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/ PHP - http://www.php.net Python - http://www.initd.org/ Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing parties. PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available, a short but not complete list is below: pl/c - Included in PostgreSQL core plPgsql - Included in PostgreSQL core - Similar to Oracle PL/sql plPerl - Included in PostgreSQL core plPHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp plPython - Included in PostgreSQL core plJava - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php plTcl - Included in PostgreSQL core See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
