A few changes: - Improve COPY performance (Alon Goldshuv) - Optimize the locking used by sequential scans (Qingqing Zhou) - Re-enable full_page_writes (Tom) This flag can now be used even with PITR. It is turned **on** (not off!) automatically between pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() calls. - Add support for forcing a switch to a new xlog file (Simon Riggs) ...should include Tom - Improve performance of replaying WAL logs on a backup server (Simon Riggs) ...I describe this as Restartable Recovery... don't think it improves performance exactly, just avoids needing to re-run it from scratch My memory says this was eventually removed, even though it was committed for a time. Am I wrong? - Make EXPLAIN sampling smarter, to avoid excessive sampling delay (Martijn van Oosterhout) -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
