can tell whether it is being used as an aggregate or not. This allows such a function to avoid re-pallocing a pass-by-reference transition value; normally it would be unsafe for a function to scribble on an input, but in the aggregate case it's safe to reuse the old transition value. Make int8inc() do this. This gets a useful improvement in the speed of COUNT(*), at least on narrow tables (it seems to be swamped by I/O when the table rows are wide). Per a discussion in early December with Neil Conway. I also fixed int_aggregate.c to check this, thereby turning it into something approaching a supportable technique instead of being a crude hack. |

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the module. Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with `gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure' script in the top-level directory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. In these cases, after you have installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file. For example, $ psql -d dbname -f module.sql See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
