Tom Lane 2abfd9d5e9 Second try at fixing O(N^2) problem in foreign key references. This replaces ill-fated commit `5ddc72887a`, which was reverted because it broke active uses of FK cache entries. In this patch, we still do nothing more to invalidatable cache entries than mark them as needing revalidation, so we won't break active uses. To keep down the overhead of InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack(), keep a list of just the currently-valid cache entries. (The entries are large enough that some added space for list links doesn't seem like a big problem.) This would still be O(N^2) when there are many valid entries, though, so when the list gets too long, just force the "sinval reset" behavior to remove everything from the list. I set the threshold at 1000 entries, somewhat arbitrarily. Possibly that could be fine-tuned later. Another item for future study is whether it's worth adding reference counting so that we could safely remove invalidated entries. As-is, problem cases are likely to end up with large and mostly invalid FK caches. Like the previous attempt, backpatch to 9.3. Jan Wieck and Tom Lane		2015-09-25 13:16:30 -04:00

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, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

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.  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.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
