o Allow postgresql.conf file values to be changed via an SQL API
o Allow the server to be stopped/restarted via an SQL API
+ * Allow server logs to be remotely read using SQL commands
+
* Tablespaces
* Add ability to monitor the use of temporary sort files
* -Add session start time and last statement time to pg_stat_activity
-* Allow server logs to be remotely read using SQL commands
* -Add a function that returns the start time of the postmaster
throw an error on overflow
* Add 'tid != tid ' operator for use in corruption recovery
+
* Dates and Times
o Allow infinite dates just like infinite timestamps
enable_constraint_exclusion
* Allow EXPLAIN output to be more easily processed by scripts
+
* CREATE
o Allow CREATE TABLE AS to determine column lengths for complex
* psql
+
o Have psql show current values for a sequence
o Move psql backslash database information into the backend, use
mnemonic commands? [psql]
* -Add two-phase commit
+
* Add the features of packages
o Make private objects accessable only to objects in the same schema
* Allow enable_constraint_exclusion to work for UNIONs like it does for
inheritance
* Allow enable_constraint_exclusion to work for UPDATE and DELETE queries
+
+
* GIST
o Add more GIST index support for geometric data types
when the first valid heap lookup happens. This bit would have to
be cleared when a heap tuple is expired.
+
* Consider automatic caching of queries at various levels:
+
o Parsed query tree
o Query execute plan
o Query results
the event of a system crash, the bitmap would probably be invalidated.
* Add system view to show free space map contents
+
+
* Auto-vacuum
o -Move into the backend code
* Fix sgmltools so PDFs can be generated with bookmarks
* Add C code on Unix to copy directories for use in creating new databases
+
* Win32
o Remove configure.in check for link failure when cause is found
like towupper(). However, UTF8 already works with normal
locales but provides no ordering or character set classes.
+
* Wire Protocol Changes
o Allow dynamic character set handling
