PLB Where? Permanently attached to your person of course By An Ancient Mariner, 8:18 AM Mon 5 Nov 2012 If you are, or have a yen to be, a solo sailor, the place for your PLB is around your waist, on your life jacket or somehow else attached to your person. 'I don't intend to get washed overboard, I concentrate all my efforts on staying onboard,' you might say. Good reply, but here's an incident this week that could change your mind, and this could have happened to anyone, any time, any place. . ...[more] PLB saves life of another solo sailor By Sail-World Cruising, , 6:40 PM Tue 9 Oct 2012 He had been carrying his PLB since 2007 without ever needing it, but the day came... British solo sailing enthusiast, Richard Coles was wrenched from his boat while on the foredeck off the coast of Cornwall, but has lived to tell the story because in the water he was able to activate the personal locator beacon (PLB) attached to his body. ...[more] Sinking sailor calls Mum By Nancy Knudsen, 3:23 PM Sat 6 Oct 2012 They're pretty cool Downunder, especially in Cairns. When a sailor's yacht was sinking this week, he didn't call rescue authorities, he called Mum. I guess when your sailing ground is full of islands, you think you don't need an EPIRB. The man, who has not yet been named, merely took to his dinghy and went to the Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge for the night. But there was a problem. ...[more] Sinking sailor calls Mum By Nancy Knudsen, 2:43 PM Sat 6 Oct 2012 They're pretty cool up in Cairns. When a sailor's yacht was sinking this week, he didn't call rescue authorities, he called Mum. I guess when your sailing ground is full of islands, you think you don't need an EPIRB. The man, who has not yet been named, merely took to his dinghy from his sinking yacht, and went to the Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge for the night. But there was a problem. ...[more] Dangerous rescue brings more awards for three By Nancy Knudsen, , 7:36 PM Sun 23 Sep 2012 As cruising sailors it is all too easy to take for granted that the rescue authorities will be there when we need them but the harrowing stories of dangerous rescues are just what we need to be humbled by their contribution. A civilian medal has been awarded to three men at the core of a daring and dangerous rescue in New Zealand. Read their story: ...[more] Dismasted yacht with no EPIRB waits 10 hours for rescue By Sail-World Cruising Round-up, , 9:54 PM Sat 1 Sep 2012 If you don't have an EPIRB on board you might wait a long time for a rescue. It was in the early hours of the morning when a home-built Belgian yacht, Taunea, collided with a vessel around 30nm off the coast of Devon in the UK. The collision dismasted the yacht and left the solo sailor adrift with no rigging, engine or communications. ...[more] Hopes faded for missing WA sailor By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 6:51 AM Sun 19 Aug 2012 With hope fading for locating the sailor missing now for two days off the coast of Busselton in Western Australia, the family of 76-year-old Ian Shardlow have thanked the rescue workers for the efforts to find him. When he was reported overdue on Thursday a search was initiated at 6.30pm and his catamaran found with the motor running and no sails hoisted. ...[more] Search underway in WA for missing sailor By West Australian/Sail-World, 8:34 AM Fri 17 Aug 2012 Deep concerns are held for a sailor off the West Australian town of Busselton after a small sailing catamaran was found by volunteer rescue personnel with nobody onboard. A search was initiated when the sailor was found to be missing, and the would-be rescuers then discovered the catamaran. ...[more] EPIRB proves its worth in sudden capsize- seven French sailors rescued By Sail-World Cruising round-up, , 8:17 AM Sat 4 Aug 2012 The EPIRB once again proved its worth. Seven French sailors whose catamaran capsized off Skye off the west coast of Scotland were rescued after an emergency beacon alerted the coastguard to their plight. The suddenness of the capsize meant that the crew did not have time to manually activate beacons. ...[more] What does it feel like to lose your boat? Tearful skipper tells By nk, 11:52 AM Mon 9 Jul 2012 What does it feel like to lose your sailing boat to the sea? To escape only with your life? Most of us hope we shall never find out. The skipper of a stricken yacht last week described the devastating moment he was forced to 'abandon ship' recently in the middle of the Atlantic. ...[more] Norwegian Star to the rescue of six sailors By Lee Mylchreest, , 11:46 AM Wed 27 Jun 2012 The cruise passengers on the Norwegian Star received more than their money's worth in entertainment this week, when the Norwegian Cruise Line cruise ship rescued six sailors suffering from severe seasickness and the loss of their rudder. ...[more] Search underway for two - English and Australian - shipwrecked sailors By Mailonline/Sail-World Cruising, 9:03 AM Sat 16 Jun 2012 A desperate search for two sailors, an Englishman and an Australian, is underway after their yacht the Navillus was wrecked on an island in the Pacific Ocean yesterday. ...[more] Cool 'missing' skipper found with jury-rigged sail By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 11:35 AM Wed 13 Jun 2012 The story is out about a catamaran which was 'missing' for more than a week in the Atlantic Ocean. The yacht went missing on 2nd June, when on a journey from Antigua in the Caribbean to Falmouth in the UK and had been out of radio contact. ...[more] Sailors rescued by Japanese bulk carrier By Sail-World Cruising, 7:32 AM Mon 11 Jun 2012 There were two Japanese, 19 Filipinos and three Vietnamese on board and not an Australian in sight but they were a welcome growing dot on the horizon when the two sailors on the yacht Mehitable put out a distress call this week 170 nautical miles off Brisbane. The merchant sailors were on their way to Newcastle on the bulk carrier Yahagi Maru when they heard the call of the drifting yacht. ...[more] Two solo sailors lose their boats in Queensland incidents By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 9:49 AM Mon 4 Jun 2012 Two incidents off the Queensland coast involving solo sailors have again highlighted how easily and quickly one can run into trouble if all systems are not working well. In one incident, a wooden sailing boat unexpectedly started taking on water and sank, while in the other, a steel yacht hit rocks while the sailor was below dealing with a problem. It is intact, but high and dry. ...[more] Resort heroes aid New Zealand sailors after yacht sinks By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 10:34 AM Fri 1 Jun 2012 Two New Zealand sailors, a man and a woman, have been rescued by the staff of a Fijian resort after the yacht they were sailing sank in waters between two Fijian Islands. The 14 metre yacht Touche hit a reef about 20nm east of Savusavu Harbour at the entrance to Somosomo Strait, between Taveuni island and Vanua Levu in Fiji, normally better known as an idyllic snorkeling and diving paradise. ...[more] The sinking of the Titanic - what has it taught today's sailors? By Boat US/Sail-World Cruising, 9:22 AM Wed 11 Apr 2012 One of the most infamous ocean tragedies of all time is being remembered this week, the sinking of the Titanic, just 100 years ago, on April 15, 1912. America's Boat US Foundation asks - what have ocean travelers of today learned from the Titanic tragedy? ...[more] DSC-connected VHF aids speedy rescue after dismasting By Joanne Groenenberg/Sail-World Cruising, , 3:57 PM Fri 6 Apr 2012 French sailor Louis Segre who was sailing a 6.5 Mini Transat yacht in gale force weather has been speedily rescued 26 miles south of the Isles of Scilly off the south western tip of England because of Digital Selective Calling (DSC) technology. His sailing boat Betelgeuse had been dismasted in the five metre seas. ...[more] Another rescue by AMVER ship Northern Star - thank you AMVER! By Nancy Knudsen, , 12:59 PM Sun 11 Mar 2012 One of the main positive reasons for studying incidents at sea and rescues is to discover what can be learned vicariously, but the following story of a rescue has an equally important reason - the recognition of the vital global role that AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System) plays in modern rescues. Read this latest anecdote first: ...[more] New Zealand yacht lost on reef off Venezuela By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 3:01 PM Thu 1 Mar 2012 Reports just received indicate that a New Zealand owned yacht, Chinook Wind, has been wrecked on a reef about 100 nautical miles from the Dutch island of Bonaire in the Caribbean, off the coast of Venezuela ...[more]

I have in the past, but I am not currently making my own Mozzarella. My plan, once I get my Pizzeria, is to make the mozz in house. I also want to rig up my chimney to possibly smoke my own Mozz and other items. I've never seen this done, and I don't know if it's possible.
For smoking stuff like cheeses you need cold smoke. Take a look at this gizmo, I have and it does a great job. I just light it and set it in a box on a plate then put the food in the box. It smolders so it does not get hot, just smokey.http://www.cookinpellets.com/amazin-smoker/?sl=ENYour pizzas are looking good!
Ideally you do not want to hot smoke mozzarella directly from your chimney. I wonder if there is a way to vent a portion of your chimney (with a closeable diverter valve to keep smoke going only up when making pizzas) into some type of cold box so you could cold smoke the mozzarella.Interesting thought at least. I love cold smoked mozzarella. The cherry wood smoked mozzarella from Maplebrook Farms in Vermont is very, very good stuff! --K
Hi and welcome. Tasty looking pies there. I would say they have a California style look. Creative toppings too.
mmmm mmmmm sounds like a lunchtime drive to UMBC should be in my near future!

This cabinet went together quite easily and works well. I had hoped to store dishes in it as well, but it is too shallow for dinner plates. It is quite sturdy and does the job for which it was designed.
I put the pantry together by myself because I did not have any immediate assistance. I struggled a little bit because I did not pay attention to the directions correctly but within an hr or so it was up and standing. It's a nice pantry for my space. I put it in my dining area which is next to my small open kitchen. The quality of the wood is not the best because everytime I clean it with wood cleaner it leaves streaks and some of the paint is not covering the edge of the outter door. That would be my biggest cons.
I have no cabinet space in my kitchen so I bought this to store my chips and small cereals Very narrow and doesn't take up much space.
The finish on this cabinet is much better than expected. The manufacturer used very poor quality cams with shallow phillips head depressions so use a common screwdriver to tighten the cams. The common will give you the leverage you will need to turn them as the slots in the cams heads are deeper and better than the philips star. There was a little warp in one of the side front frames but I was able to apply enough careful pressure to get the cams to lock. Absolutely ugly knob but easy to change. This is the right size for my space, not a common size, and it is black. I am happy enough to recommend it. Keep the heavy stuff in the bottom it is tippy. Fastening it to a wall is not practical if you have baseboards or wainscotting.
This was one of the worst DIY projects I've done yet. The directions were difficult to follow and there were SO many pieces, you practically needed an engineering degree to put everything together. I should have heeded other reviewers' warnings about the difficulty in putting this piece together. What a hassle! For the time it took me to put it together, I could have just purchased something ready-made and saved myself the headache! Oh, and you definitely must have 2 people to assemble this shelf!

Michigan Rush Advances In State Cup
The 2013 MSYSA State Cup Tournament is well underway, and the Michigan Rush is excited to announce a great deal of success thus far in this year's competition. With pool play completed, Michigan Rush will observe it's U14, U16, U17 and U18 girls teams from Northville and it's U15 and U16 girls teams from Downriver advance to the knockout stage!
The knockout stage of the State Cup tournament will begin this weekend, the weekend of October 5th and 6th, at the Saginaw Township Soccer Complex. The U14-U16 teams will play their 'round of 16' matches on Saturday, October 5th. All U14-U16 teams who advance through that round, as well as all advancing U17 and U18 teams, will then play in Quarterfinal matches at the same location on Sunday, October 6th.
The Northville U17 girls have made back-to-back appearances in the State Cup final, finishing as runners-up in 2011 and as champions in 2012. Expectations are high for the group again in this year's competition, but the pressure does not seem to be affecting them at all thus far; the team finished with a record of 3-0-0 in group play, scoring 9 goals and conceding none. Coach Angel Calzadilla feels confident that his team will continue to take it one game at a time and work hard to earn a place in the championship match once again.
The Northville U14 girls, who suffered a tough 1-0 loss to the Grand Rapids Crew Jrs. in the State Cup quarterfinals last year, are also riding high after winning their group. Coach Eric Rudland and the team hope to keep the momentum as they move forward, after posting an impressive 3-0-0 record (11 goals for and 2 against) in group play.
The Downriver U15 girls finished second in their group behind last year's State Cup runner-up, the TNT Dynamite. The team posted a 2-1 record, with 13 goals for and 3 against to earn a wildcard berth into the next round. Coach Trevor Daniel said that he has been impressed by his team's play thus far, and he hopes that the group will rise to the occasion once again in the knockout round. The team will be opposed by the same PSG Michigan Gators group who ended their State Cup run in the first knockout stage last year.
The Northville U18 girls were able to advance to the semifinals of last year's tournament after winning their group and then upsetting the Michigan Gators in the quarterfinals. This season, the team has been plagued by injury more than ever; this has not stopped the resilient group from battling hard, however. The team was able to advance from group play with a wildcard berth and looks forward to the opportunity to compete in the quarterfinals once again. Though injuries still have the team playing a bit short-handed, this group has proven time and again that you can never count them out. We wish them well as they make their final trip to Saginaw as a team.
Both the Northville and Downriver U16 girls groups are excited to have earned a wildcard berth into the knockout stages of the State Cup tournament for the first time this year. Both teams have seen steady improvement over the past few years and are living proof that hard work and persistence really do pay off. The teams are excited and highly motivated to keep their State Cup dreams alive in the next round.

05.05.2013 /
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ken Roczen secured KTM its first-ever 250SX championship when he was crowned the Monster Energy AMA West 250SX Champion at the season finale held at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Ken Roczen arrived in Las Vegas with a five point lead in the championship point standings. He put in a great practice time early in the day to earn the top spot on the leader board and first gate pick in the main event.
When the gate dropped for the main event Roczen rounded the first corner in fifth position. He quickly moved into the top three by the second lap. At the halfway point he desperately needed to pass the second place ride of Martin Davalos in order to secure the championship while Eli Tomac was up front. On the final lap, Roczen cut inside Davalos and made a pass to take over the position with the KTM 250 SX-F. A few corners later he crossed the checkered flag finishing second in the race, but most importantly, finishing in position to earn his first career 250SX Championship.
A very happy and emotional Roczen stated on the podium, "I am so happy for this championship. It is the biggest championship I have ever won. I am so thankful for everyone on my team that has stood behind me this whole season and believed in me from the beginning. Now I just need to get a good start in the shoot-out and hopefully get another podium finish."
Moments later Roczen did get his good start as he took his first holeshot of the season leading the riders down the long start straight for lap one of the East/West 250SX Shoot-out. Roczen's teammate, Marvin Musquin, was on the heels of Roczen and even swapped for the lead position the first half of the race. After the halfway point, Roczen began to pull away and eventually went on to take the shoot-out win to put the perfect end to a great day. Musquin was able to hold on for a podium onboard the KTM 250 SX-F finish with a third place result.
"I finally got a great start and was able to get out front," stated Roczen. "It felt great to see that number one plate on my bike while I was racing. It feels so great to get this win and my championship in the same night. This is really unforgettable."
Musquin, who finished second in the East 250SX Supercross main event, took a third place finish in the shoot-out. "I gave it everything I had in the East 250SX main, and just came up a bike length short of the win. I was very tired in the shoot-out race after fighting so hard in the first main event, so unfortunately, I couldn't battle with my teammate for the win. I am happy that I was still able to get on the podium and I am very happy for Ken and his championship."
Roczen and Musquin will now have a two week break before returning to racing in the 250 Motocross class at the opening round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Series on May 18, 2013.

Maxim and SEMI Gain Significant ROI from Migrating to Drupal and the Cloud [April 10, 2012]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
For organizations with mission-critical websites, the topic of re-platforming the Content Management System can cause significant unrest – both from the business and the IT teams. Add to the already sensitive situation, the need to move from the current hosting infrastructure to a new cloud provider – and you have an extremely daunting series of tasks.
In this webinar, you'll hear from Maxim and SEMI about how they successfully completed both a Drupal re-platform, and a migration to Acquia's hosting environment, built on Amazon EC2, in extremely tight time frames. Attendees of this webinar will:
• Gain best practices on how to navigate internal discussions about re-platforming and migrating to the cloud
• Learn how these organizations were able to meet their website re-launch goals on a tight timeframe
• Obtain an overview of the significant ROI both organizations have been able to see as a result of their efforts
In addition, Jeff Barr from Amazon Web Services will join us to share best practices on how organizations can make the business case to move from existing cloud, on-premise, or co-location models to Amazon's cloud infrastructure.

Why Truett Online?
Truett-McConnell College offers bachelor degrees in Business and Christian Studies. The difference in Truett Online is that we offer classes taught from a biblical worldview.
What does this mean for you?
This means that each class you take, whether math, English, history, business, etc. will emphasize and examine how they relate to the Bible. You not only receive a quality education but one that focuses on what matters most, what God's word says.
Why is this important for you?
In today's society, ethical businessmen are few and far between. As a business major, you will be taught how to operate your business while still remaining ethical and true to scripture.
As a christian studies major, you will be taught by conservative professors that stand firm in their Christian beliefs and have all agreed to teach their subject matter through a biblical worldview.
How will you benefit?
As a Truett Online graduate, you will not only be equipped academically to succeed in your profession but to also face the world knowing God's truth and feeling confident to proclaim it to others.
How Do I Know If Online Learning is Right For Me?
A prospective online learning student should consider the following issues before enrolling in an online course or degree program:
What is the Online Learning Experience Like?
In most cases, it's not like a regular classroom. Online learning courses are provided through some type of technology (in some cases streaming audio or video). You will have the flexibility of accessing your course on your own time. You'll also find that you will be able to interact with the instructor and fellow students more often through mediated channels (forums, email, and chat) than you would be able to do in a classroom environment.
The mission of Truett-McConnell College, a Georgia Baptist College, is to equip students to make a positive impact for Christ through disciplined scholarship and Christian discipleship. Since 1946, Truett-McConnell College has been committed to providing students with a quality Christian education. All classes are taught from a biblical worldview.
Students who choose Truett-McConnell give themselves the best opportunity for success spiritually as well as academically.
We are excited that you are interested in becoming a student at Truett-McConnell College. Please choose on of the options below and we will promptly send you the information packet that meets your needs.
I would like information about becoming a TMC student.
I would like information about becoming an on-line TMC student.
Are you one of more than 1200 GBC senior pastors or thousands of other staff members who desire an education that is "Biblically Centered, Distinctively Baptist", but our campus if too far from your place of ministry? Truett-McConnell College, originally formed to equip bi-vocational pastors for ministry, has returned to its purpose of serving the local churches of the Georgia Baptist Convention. We are now offering fully accredited Christian Studies Associates and Bachelors degrees completely online. With the reduced cost of online classes and available financial aid and grants, there is no better time to begin or complete your college education. Please watch the short video of Dr. Caner sharing his heart about Truett-McConnell College returning to it's purpose of educating local pastors. |

lyric: she's probably the funniest person you'll ever meet. always keeping you on your feet! she always googles quotes and or songs to fit the situation she's in perfectly. she's beautiful in her own way. she's the most stubborn girl you'll probably ever have to deal with. she smiles wether she wants to or not.. always looking to brighten someone else's day, before she can brighten her own. when she starts to like a boy, she falls not intentionally. if she loves you, she'll tell you.. and mean it. she trusts only a hand full of people. you really do not want to miss out on an chance with this girl. she's scared of being hurt more than anything.. if you hurt her, good luck trying to fix things. there's a very low chance that she'll forgive you, and if she does.. just remember she will never forget!
that lyric girl? she's hilarious.

Lyric is a word used to describe something, like a piece of music, or a person, that is beyond words. Something downright beautiful and amazing to the point that it is ineffable.
The girl playing the harp in the woods and singing to the owls was lyric.

I found small wooden trinket boxes at my local Dollar Tree, and scooped up 3 of them. The first one, I decided to make a vintage/altered art design for it and make use of some peacock feathers that a coworker gifted me. For this project I used the following:
- Unfinished wooden box
- Distress paint, 2 colors
- Rubbing alcohol
- Paper tissue (for rubbing alcohol)
- Glitter pen (gel)
- Elmer's glue
- Scrapbook paper
- Random vintage art downloaded from the internet, sized for the trinket box
- Peacock feathers
- Scissors
- A penny coin
- Bottlecap
This project is a 2-day project for drying times. Paint the unfinished box using 2 layers of distress paint. As the box is a porous material, the first layer will not crack.Once your second coat dries, take a penny and begin to randomly scrape at the paint to give a weathered, antique look. Apply your second color of distress paint to accent corners of the box. Dry overnight.
The next day take tissue and apply some rubbing alcohol on it. Dab the tissue around the box to lighten and distress the paint further. Next apply globs of glitter around the box and smooth the gel out to accent the cracked paint. Dry.
Now you're ready to decorate the box. I used scrapbook paper to make 2 thin strips like old vintage suitcase straps. I cut out a vintage lady and placed her portrait into a bottlecap and doused it with glue. I let it soak up and wiped the excess glue out with tissue.
Let me know how your vintage trinket boxes come out! Enjoy!

Supersports evolution: Suzuki unveils all-new GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 for 2011
Suzuki has used Intermot Cologne to reveal its first new bikes for 2011 – the revamped GSX-R600 and 750 supersports. But similarly to the 2009 makeover the Gixxer 1000 received, the new middleweights are more evolution than revolution despite the fact that the designers essentially went back to the drawing board. All-new engines and drivetrains produce the same peak horsepower as this year's model (that's 123hp for the 600 and 148 for the 750) but significant efforts have been made to improve fuel efficiency and reduce power losses between the crank and the rear wheel. The chassis and wheelbase of both bikes have been shortened, both bikes sport Showa's fashionable and fully adjustable Big Piston forks and there's a new and improved, radial Brembo monobloc braking system. The big news is that the Gixxer6 and 750 have gone on a pretty impressive diet, shedding 8 and 9 kilos respectively. It looks like a solid upgrade, if perhaps a little unexciting.

Revision as of 21:09, 10 July 2010
This list contains all known PostgreSQL bugs and feature requests. If you would like to work on an item, please read the Developer FAQ first. There is also a development information page.
- - marks ordinary, incomplete items
- [E] - marks items that are easier to implement
- [D] - marks changes that are done, and will appear in the next major release
For help on editing this list, please see Talk:Todo. Please do not add items here without discussion on the mailing list.
- Allow administrators to cancel multi-statement idle transactions
- This allows locks to be released, but it is complex to report the cancellation back to the client.
- Check for unreferenced table files created by transactions that were in-progress when the server terminated abruptly
- Set proper permissions on non-system schemas during db creation
- Currently all schemas are owned by the super-user because they are copied from the template1 database. However, since all objects are inherited from the template database, it is not clear that setting schemas to the db owner is correct.
- Allow log_min_messages to be specified on a per-module basis
- This would allow administrators to see more detailed information from specific sections of the backend, e.g. checkpoints, autovacuum, etc. Another idea is to allow separate configuration files for each module, or allow arbitrary SET commands to be passed to them. See also Logging Brainstorm.
- Simplify ability to create partitioned tables
- This would allow creation of partitioned tables without requiring creation of triggers or rules for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, and constraints for rapid partition selection. Options could include range and hash partition selection. See also Table partitioning
- Allow auto-selection of partitioned tables for min/max() operations
- There was a patch on -hackers from July 2009, but it has not been merged: MIN/MAX optimization for partitioned table
- [D] Allow more complex user/database default GUC settings
- Currently ALTER USER and ALTER DATABASE support per-user and per-database defaults. Consider adding per-user-and-database defaults so things like search_path can be defaulted for a specific user connecting to a specific database.
- [D] Allow custom variables to be created only by super-users but modified by ordinary uses, where appropriate
- Implement the SQL standard mechanism whereby REVOKE ROLE revokes only the privilege granted by the invoking role, and not those granted by other roles
- Provide a way to query the log collector subprocess to determine what the currently active log file is
- Allow the client to authenticate the server in a Unix-domain socket connection, e.g., using SO_PEERCRED
- [D] Allow server-side enforcement of password policies
- Password checks might include password complexity or non-reuse of passwords. This facility will require the client to send password creation/changes to the server in plain-text, not MD5.
- Allow custom daemons to be automatically stopped/started along postmaster
- This allows easier administration of daemons like user job schedulers or replication-related daemons.
Configuration files
- Allow pg_hba.conf to specify host names along with IP addresses
- Host name lookup could occur when the postmaster reads the pg_hba.conf file, or when the backend starts. Another solution would be to reverse lookup the connection IP and check that hostname against the host names in pg_hba.conf. We could also then check that the host name maps to the IP address.
- Allow Kerberos to disable stripping of realms so we can check the username@realm against multiple realms
- Allow a database in tablespace t1 with tables created in tablespace t2 to be used as a template for a new database created with default tablespace t2
- Currently all objects in the default database tablespace must have default tablespace specifications. This is because new databases are created by copying directories. If you mix default tablespace tables and tablespace-specified tables in the same directory, creating a new database from such a mixed directory would create a new database with tables that had incorrect explicit tablespaces. To fix this would require modifying pg_class in the newly copied database, which we don't currently do.
- Allow reporting of which objects are in which tablespaces
- This item is difficult because a tablespace can contain objects from multiple databases. There is a server-side function that returns the databases which use a specific tablespace, so this requires a tool that will call that function and connect to each database to find the objects in each database for that tablespace.
- Allow WAL replay of CREATE TABLESPACE to work when the directory structure on the recovery computer is different from the original
Statistics Collector
- Allow statistics last vacuum/analyze execution times to be displayed without requiring track_counts to be enabled
Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR)
- [E] Create dump tool for write-ahead logs for use in determining transaction id for point-in-time recovery
- This is useful for checking PITR recovery.
- [E] Expose pg_controldata via SQL interface
- Helpful for monitoring replicated databases; initial patch
- Allow SSL key file permission checks to be optionally disabled when sharing SSL keys with other applications
- Allow SSL CRL files to be re-read during configuration file reload, rather than requiring a server restart
Unlike SSL CRT files, CRL (Certificate Revocation List) files are updated frequently
Alternatively or additionally supporting OCSP (online certificate security protocol) would provide real-time revocation discovery without reloading
Standby server mode
- Fix things so that any such variables inherited from the server environment are intentionally *NOT* used for making SR connections.
- [D] Consider changing the calculation of superused_reserved_connections so that replication connections don't consume superuser_reserved_connections slots.
- Add capability to take and send a base backup over the streaming replication connection, making it possible to initialize a new standby server from a running primary server without a WAL archive or other access to the primary server.
Data Types
- Add JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data type
This would behave similar to the XML data type, which is stored as text, but allows element lookup and conversion functions.
- PATCH: Add hstore_to_json()
- Re: PATCH: Add hstore_to_json()
- Proposal: Add JSON support
- Re: Proposal: Add JSON support
Dates and Times
- Allow TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE to store the original timezone information, either zone name or offset from UTC
- If the TIMESTAMP value is stored with a time zone name, interval computations should adjust based on the time zone rules.
- Improve timestamptz subtraction to be DST-aware
- Currently subtracting one date from another that crosses a daylight savings time adjustment can return '1 day 1 hour', but adding that back to the first date returns a time one hour in the future. This is caused by the adjustment of '25 hours' to '1 day 1 hour', and '1 day' is the same time the next day, even if daylight savings adjustments are involved.
- [D] Revise the src/timezone/tznames abbreviation files:
- to add missing abbreviations
- to find abbreviations that can be safely promoted to the Default list
- BUG #4377: casting result of timeofday() to timestamp fails in some timezones
Binary Data
- Allow read/write into TOAST values like large objects
- This requires the TOAST column to be stored EXTERNAL.
MONEY Data Type
Text Search
- [D] Inline ORDER BY for XMLAGG. Example: "... XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(...) ORDER BY col1) ..." (should be made to work with all aggregate functions)
- XML Canonical: Convert XML documents to canonical form to compare them. libxml2 has support for this.
- Pretty-printing XML: Parse a document and serialize it back in some indented form. libxml2 might support this.
- In some cases shredding could be better option (if there is no need in keeping XML docs entirely; if we have already developed tools that understand only relational data; etc) -- it would be a separate module that implements annotated schema decomposition technique, similar to DB2 and SQL Server functionality.
- xpath_table needs to be implemented/implementable to get rid of contrib/xml2 [9]
- xpath_table is pretty broken anyway [10]
- xpath_exists() is needed. It checks, whether or not the path specified exists in the XML value. (W/o this function we need to use weird "array_dims(xpath(...)) IS NOT NULL" syntax.)
- better handling of PIs and DTDs in xmlconcat() [13]
- Throw an error from to_char() instead of printing a string of "#" when a number doesn't fit in the desired output format.
- discussed in "to_char, support for EEEE format"
- Allow to_char() on interval values to accumulate the highest unit requested
Some special format flag would be required to request such accumulation. Such functionality could also be added to EXTRACT. Prevent accumulation that crosses the month/day boundary because of the uneven number of days in a month.
- to_char(INTERVAL '1 hour 5 minutes', 'MI') => 65
- to_char(INTERVAL '43 hours 20 minutes', 'MI' ) => 2600
- to_char(INTERVAL '43 hours 20 minutes', 'WK:DD:HR:MI') => 0:1:19:20
- to_char(INTERVAL '3 years 5 months','MM') => 41
- Allow SQL-language functions to reference parameters by parameter name
- Currently SQL-language functions can only refer to dollar parameters, e.g. $1
- Enforce typmod for function inputs, function results and parameters for spi_prepare'd statements called from PLs
- [D] Add missing operators for geometric data types
- Some geometric types do not have the full suite of geometric operators, e.g. box @> point
- Prevent malicious functions from being executed with the permissions of unsuspecting users
- Index functions are safe, so VACUUM and ANALYZE are safe too. Triggers, CHECK and DEFAULT expressions, and rules are still vulnerable.
Multi-Language Support
- Allow more fine-grained collation selection; add CREATE COLLATION.
Right now the collation is fixed at database creation time.

- Re: WIP patch: Collation support
- PGDay.it collation discussion notes
- Unicode collation algorithm
- Set client encoding based on the client operating system encoding
- Currently client_encoding is set in postgresql.conf, which defaults to the server encoding.
- Change memory allocation for multi-byte functions so memory is allocated inside conversion functions
- Currently we preallocate memory based on worst-case usage.
- Add ability to use case-insensitive regular expressions on multi-byte characters
- ILIKE already works with multi-byte characters
- Improve encoding of connection startup messages sent to the client
- Currently some authentication error messages are sent in the server encoding
Views / Rules
- Automatically create rules on views so they are updateable, per SQL:2008
- We can only auto-create rules for simple views. For more complex cases users will still have to write rules manually.
- Allow VIEW/RULE recompilation when the underlying tables change
- This is both difficult and controversial.
- Make it possible to use RETURNING together with conditional DO INSTEAD rules, such as for partitioning setups
- Add the ability to automatically create materialized views
- Right now materialized views require the user to create triggers on the main table to keep the summary table current. SQL syntax should be able to manage the triggers and summary table automatically. A more sophisticated implementation would automatically retrieve from the summary table when the main table is referenced, if possible. See Materialized Views for implementation details
SQL Commands
- [E] Fix TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY so its effect on sequences is rolled back on transaction abort
- Allow finer control over the caching of prepared query plans
- Currently anonymous (un-named) queries prepared via the wire protocol are replanned every time bind parameters are supplied --- allow SQL PREPARE to do the same. Also, allow control over replanning prepared queries either manually or automatically when statistics for execute parameters differ dramatically from those used during planning.
- Allow prepared transactions with temporary tables created and dropped in the same transaction, and when an ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS temporary table is accessed
- Add SQL-standard MERGE/REPLACE/UPSERT command
- MERGE is typically used to merge two tables. REPLACE or UPSERT command does UPDATE, or on failure, INSERT. See SQL MERGE for notes on the implementation details.
- Enable standard_conforming_strings by default in 9.1?
- When this is done, backslash-quote should be prohibited in non-E'' strings because of possible confusion over how such strings treat backslashes. Basically, '' is always safe for a literal single quote, while \' might or might not be based on the backslash handling rules.
- Allow the count returned by SELECT, etc to be represented as an int64 to allow a higher range of values
- Add DEFAULT .. AS OWNER so permission checks are done as the table owner
- This would be useful for SERIAL nextval() calls and CHECK constraints.
- Add column to pg_stat_activity that shows the progress of long-running commands like CREATE INDEX and VACUUM
- Allow INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE ... RETURNING inside a SELECT 'FROM' clause or target list
- Actually it would be saner to allow this in WITH
- Add comments on system tables/columns using the information in catalogs.sgml
- Ideally the information would be pulled from the SGML file automatically.
- Support LATERAL subqueries
- Lateral subqueries can reference columns of tables defined outside the subquery at the same level, i.e. laterally. For example, a LATERAL subquery in a FROM clause could reference tables defined in the same FROM clause. Currently only the columns of tables defined above subqueries are recognized.
- [D] Forbid COMMENT on columns of an index
- Postgres currently allows comments to be placed on the columns of an index, but pg_dump doesn't handle them and the column names themselves are implementation-dependent.
- Add support for functional dependencies
- This would allow omitting GROUP BY columns when grouping by the primary key.
- Move NOT NULL constraint information to pg_constraint
- Currently NOT NULL constraints are stored in pg_attribute without any designation of their origins, e.g. primary keys. One manifest problem is that dropping a PRIMARY KEY constraint does not remove the NOT NULL constraint designation. Another issue is that we should probably force NOT NULL to be propagated from parent tables to children, just as CHECK constraints are. (But then does dropping PRIMARY KEY affect children?)
- Allow CREATE TABLE to optionally create a table if it does not already exist, without throwing an error
- The fact that tables contain data makes this more complex than other CREATE OR REPLACE operations.
- CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION might leave dependent objects depending on the function in inconsistent state
- Allow moving system tables to other tablespaces, where possible
- Currently non-global system tables must be in the default database tablespace. Global system tables can never be moved.
- Automatically maintain clustering on a table
- This might require some background daemon to maintain clustering during periods of low usage. It might also require tables to be only partially filled for easier reorganization. Another idea would be to create a merged heap/index data file so an index lookup would automatically access the heap data too. A third idea would be to store heap rows in hashed groups, perhaps using a user-supplied hash function.
- [E] Add default clustering to system tables
- To do this, determine the ideal cluster index for each system table and set the cluster setting during initdb.
- Allow COPY to report error lines and continue
- This requires the use of a savepoint before each COPY line is processed, with ROLLBACK on COPY failure.
- Allow COPY on a newly-created table to skip WAL logging
- On crash recovery, the table involved in the COPY would be removed or have its heap and index files truncated. One issue is that no other backend should be able to add to the table at the same time, which is something that is currently allowed. This currently is done if the table is created inside the same transaction block as the COPY because no other backends can see the table.
- Allow COPY in CSV mode to control whether a quoted zero-length string is treated as NULL
- Currently this is always treated as a zero-length string, which generates an error when loading into an integer column
- Allow COPY to handle other number formats eg. the German notation. Best would be something like WITH DECIMAL ','.
- [D] Allow GRANT/REVOKE permissions to be applied to all schema objects with one command
- The proposed syntax is: GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN public TO phpuser; GRANT SELECT ON NEW TABLES IN public TO phpuser;
- [D] Allow LISTEN/NOTIFY to store info in memory rather than tables
- Currently LISTEN/NOTIFY information is stored in pg_listener. Storing such information in memory would improve performance.
Window Functions
See TODO items for window functions.
- Support creation of user-defined window functions.
- We have the ability to create new window functions written in C. Is it worth the effort to create an API that would let them be written in PL/pgsql, etc?
- Implement full support for window framing clauses.
In addition to done clauses described in the latest doc, these clauses are not implemented yet.
- Look at tuplestore performance issues.
- The tuplestore_in_memory() thing is just a band-aid, we ought to try to solve it properly. tuplestore_advance seems like a weak spot as well.
Integrity Constraints
Referential Integrity
- Fix problem when cascading referential triggers make changes on cascaded tables, seeing the tables in an intermediate state
Server-Side Languages
- [D] Allow function parameters to be passed by name, get_employee_salary(12345 AS emp_id, 2001 AS tax_year)
- Allow listing of record column names, and access to record columns via variables, e.g. columns := r.(*), tval2 := r.(colname)
- Allow row and record variables to be set to NULL constants, and allow NULL tests on such variables
- Because a row is not scalar, do not allow assignment from NULL-valued scalars.
- Create a new restricted execution class that will allow passing function arguments in as locals. Passing them as globals means functions cannot be called recursively.
- Functions cache the input and output functions for their arguments, so the following will make PostgreSQL unhappy:
create table users (first_name text, last_name text); create function user_name(user) returns text as 'mycode' language plpython; select user_name(user) from users; alter table add column user_id integer; select user_name(user) from users;
You have to drop and create the function(s) each time its arguments are modified (not nice), or don't cache the input and output functions (slower?), or check if the structure of the argument has been altered (is this possible, easy, quick?) and recreate cache.
- Allow pg_ctl to work properly with configuration files located outside the PGDATA directory
- pg_ctl can not read the pid file because it isn't located in the config directory but in the PGDATA directory. The solution is to allow pg_ctl to read and understand postgresql.conf to find the data_directory value.
- Have the postmaster write a random number to a file on startup that pg_ctl checks against the contents of a pg_ping response on its initial connection (without login)
- This will protect against connecting to an old instance of the postmaster in a different or deleted subdirectory.
- Modify pg_ctl behavior and exit codes to make it easier to write an LSB conforming init script
It may be desirable to condition some of the changes on a command-line switch, to avoid breaking existing scripts. A Linux shell (sh) script is referenced which has been tested and seems to provide a high degree of conformance in multiple environments. Study of this script might suggest areas where pg_ctl could be modified to make writing an LSB conforming script easier; however, some aspects of that script would be unnecessary with other suggested changes to pg_ctl, and discussion on the lists did not reach consensus on support for all aspects of this script. Further discussion of particular changes is needed before beginning any work.
These threads should be studied for other ideas on improvements:
- Move psql backslash database information into the backend, use mnemonic commands?
- This would allow non-psql clients to pull the same information out of the database as psql.
- Add auto-expanded mode so expanded output is used if the row length is wider than the screen width.
- Consider using auto-expanded mode for backslash commands like \df+.
- Prevent tab completion of SET TRANSACTION from querying the database and therefore preventing the transaction isolation level from being set.
- Currently SET <tab> causes a database lookup to check all supported session variables. This query causes problems because setting the transaction isolation level must be the first statement of a transaction.
- Add a \set variable to control whether \s displays line numbers
- Another option is to add \# which lists line numbers, and allows command execution.
- Add option to wrap column values at whitespace boundaries, rather than chopping them at a fixed width.
- Currently, "wrapped" format chops values into fixed widths. Perhaps the word wrapping could use the same algorithm documented in the W3C specification.
- Add "auto" expanded mode that outputs in expanded format if "wrapped" mode can't wrap the output to the screen width
- Support the ReST table output format
- Details about the ReST format: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html#reference-documentation
pg_dump / pg_restore
- [E] Add full object name to the tag field. eg. for operators we need '=(integer, integer)', instead of just '='.
- Avoid using platform-dependent locale names in pg_dumpall output
- Using native locale names puts roadblocks in the way of porting a dump to another platform. One possible solution is to get CREATE DATABASE to accept some agreed-on set of locale names and fix them up to meet the platform's requirements.
- Add support for multiple pg_restore -t options, like pg_dump
- pg_restore's -t switch is less useful than pg_dump's in quite a few ways: no multiple switches, no pattern matching, no ability to pick up indexes and other dependent items for a selected table. It should be made to handle this switch just like pg_dump does.
- Allow pg_dump --clean to drop roles that own objects or have privileges
- tgl says: if this is about pg_dumpall, it's done as of 8.4. If it's really about pg_dump, what does it mean? pg_dump has no business dropping roles.
- Allow pg_dump to utilize multiple CPUs and I/O channels by dumping multiple objects simultaneously
- The difficulty with this is getting multiple dump processes to produce a single dump output file. It also would require several sessions to share the same snapshot.
- Remove support for dumping from pre-7.3 servers
- In 7.3 and later, we can get accurate dependency information from the server. pg_dump still contains a lot of crufty code to try to deal with the lack of dependency info in older servers, but the usefulness of maintaining that code grows small.
- Refactor handling of database attributes between pg_dump and pg_dumpall
- Currently only pg_dumpall emits database attributes, such as ALTER DATABASE SET commands and database-level GRANTs. Many people wish that pg_dump would do that. One proposal is to let pg_dump issue such commands if the -C switch was used, but it's unclear whether that will satisfy the demand.
- Change pg_dump so that a comment on the dumped database is applied to the loaded database, even if the database has a different name.
- This will require new backend syntax, perhaps COMMENT ON CURRENT DATABASE. This is related to the previous item.
- Docs
- Document differences between ecpg and the SQL standard and information about the Informix-compatibility module.
- [D] Implement SQLDA
- add sqlda support to ecpg in both native and compatibility mode
- [E] Fix small memory leaks in ecpg
- Memory leaks in a short running application like ecpg are not really a problem, but make debugging more complicated
- Prevent PQfnumber() from lowercasing unquoted column names
- PQfnumber() should never have been doing lowercasing, but historically it has so we need a way to prevent it
- Allow statement results to be automatically batched to the client
- Currently all statement results are transferred to the libpq client before libpq makes the results available to the application. This feature would allow the application to make use of the first result rows while the rest are transferred, or held on the server waiting for them to be requested by libpq. One complexity is that a statement like SELECT 1/col could error out mid-way through the result set.
- Improve storage of deferred trigger queue
- Right now all deferred trigger information is stored in backend memory. This could exhaust memory for very large trigger queues. This item involves dumping large queues into files, or doing some kind of join to process all the triggers, some bulk operation, or a bitmap.
- Allow triggers to be disabled in only the current session.
- This is currently possible by starting a multi-statement transaction, modifying the system tables, performing the desired SQL, restoring the system tables, and committing the transaction. ALTER TABLE ... TRIGGER requires a table lock so it is not ideal for this usage.
- With disabled triggers, allow pg_dump to use ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY
- If the dump is known to be valid, allow foreign keys to be added without revalidating the data.
- When statement-level triggers are defined on a parent table, have them fire only on the parent table, and fire child table triggers only where appropriate
- Allow AFTER triggers on system tables
- System tables are modified in many places in the backend without going through the executor and therefore not causing triggers to fire. To complete this item, the functions that modify system tables will have to fire triggers.
- Honor UNIQUE INDEX on base column in INSERTs/UPDATEs on inherited table, e.g. INSERT INTO inherit_table (unique_index_col) VALUES (dup) should fail
- The main difficulty with this item is the problem of creating an index that can span multiple tables.
- Determine whether ALTER TABLE / SET SCHEMA should work on inheritance hierarchies (and thus support ONLY). If yes, implement it.
- ALTER TABLE variants sometimes support recursion and sometimes not, but this is poorly/not documented, and the ONLY marker would then be silently ignored. Clarify the documentation, and reject ONLY if it is not supported.
- Prevent index uniqueness checks when UPDATE does not modify the column
- Uniqueness (index) checks are done when updating a column even if the column is not modified by the UPDATE. However, HOT already short-circuits this in common cases, so more work might not be helpful.
- Allow the creation of on-disk bitmap indexes which can be quickly combined with other bitmap indexes
Such indexes could be more compact if there are only a few distinct values. Such indexes can also be compressed. Keeping such indexes updated can be costly.
- Re: Bitmap index AM
- Bitmap index thoughts
- Stream bitmaps
- Re: Bitmapscan changes - Requesting further feedback
- Updated bitmap index patch
- Reviewing new index types (was Re: [PATCHES] Updated bitmap indexpatch)
- Bitmap Indexes: request for feedback
- http://firstname.lastname@example.com
- Allow accurate statistics to be collected on indexes with more than one column or expression indexes, perhaps using per-index statistics
- Consider smaller indexes that record a range of values per heap page, rather than having one index entry for every heap row
- This is useful if the heap is clustered by the indexed values.
- Add REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, like CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY
- This is difficult because you must upgrade to an exclusive table lock to replace the existing index file. CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY does not have this complication. This would allow index compaction without downtime.
- Allow multiple indexes to be created concurrently, ideally via a single heap scan
- pg_restore allows parallel index builds, but it is done via subprocesses, and there is no SQL interface for this.
- Consider using "effective_io_concurrency" for index scans
- Currently only bitmap scans use this, which might be fine because most multi-row index scans use bitmap scans.
- [D] Pack hash index buckets onto disk pages more efficiently
Currently only one hash bucket can be stored on a page. Ideally several hash buckets could be stored on a single page and greater granularity used for the hash algorithm.
However, the binary searching within a hash page probably renders this issue moot.
- Determine optimal fdatasync/fsync, O_SYNC/O_DSYNC options
- Ideally this requires a separate test program that can be run at initdb time or optionally later. Consider O_SYNC when O_DIRECT exists.
Cache Usage
- Speed up COUNT(*)
- We could use a fixed row count and a +/- count to follow MVCC visibility rules, or a single cached value could be used and invalidated if anyone modifies the table. Another idea is to get a count directly from a unique index, but for this to be faster than a sequential scan it must avoid access to the heap to obtain tuple visibility information.
- Provide a way to calculate an "estimated COUNT(*)"
- Perhaps by using the optimizer's cardinality estimates or random sampling.
- Allow data to be pulled directly from indexes
- Currently indexes do not have enough tuple visibility information to allow data to be pulled from the index without also accessing the heap. One way to allow this is to set a bit on index tuples to indicate if a tuple is currently visible to all transactions when the first valid heap lookup happens. This bit would have to be cleared when a heap tuple is expired. Another idea is to maintain a bitmap of heap pages where all rows are visible to all backends, and allow index lookups to reference that bitmap to avoid heap lookups, perhaps the same bitmap we might add someday to determine which heap pages need vacuuming. Frequently accessed bitmaps would have to be stored in shared memory. One 8k page of bitmaps could track 512MB of heap pages. A third idea would be for a heap scan to check if all rows are visible and if so set a per-table flag which can be checked by index scans. Any change to the table would have to clear the flag. To detect changes during the heap scan a counter could be set at the start and checked at the end --- if it is the same, the table has not been modified --- any table change would increment the counter.
- Consider automatic caching of statements at various levels:
- Parsed query tree
- Query execute plan
- Query results
- Consider allowing higher priority queries to have referenced buffer cache pages stay in memory longer
- [D] Improve VACUUM FULL's speed when major data movement is needed
- For large table adjustments during VACUUM FULL, it would be faster to cluster or reindex rather than update the indexes piecemeal as it does now. Also, this behavior tends to bloat the indexes.
- Auto-fill the free space map by scanning the buffer cache or by checking pages written by the background writer
- Consider having single-page pruning update the visibility map
- https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=75
- Re: visibility maps and heap_prune
- Bias FSM towards returning free space near the beginning of the heap file, in hopes that empty pages at the end can be truncated by VACUUM
- Prevent long-lived temporary tables from causing frozen-xid advancement starvation
- The problem is that autovacuum cannot vacuum them to set frozen xids; only the session that created them can do that.
- Have free space allocation bias away from using trailing table pages
- This improves the chances of truncating the table during vacuum
- Fix problem when multiple subtransactions of the same outer transaction hold different types of locks, and one subtransaction aborts
- Allow UPDATEs on only non-referential integrity columns not to conflict with referential integrity locks
Startup Time Improvements
- Experiment with multi-threaded backend for backend creation
- This would prevent the overhead associated with process creation. Most operating systems have trivial process creation time compared to database startup overhead, but a few operating systems (Win32, Solaris) might benefit from threading. Also explore the idea of a single session using multiple threads to execute a statement faster.
Write-Ahead Log
- Eliminate need to write full pages to WAL before page modification
- Currently, to protect against partial disk page writes, we write full page images to WAL before they are modified so we can correct any partial page writes during recovery. These pages can also be eliminated from point-in-time archive files.
- When full page writes are off, write CRC to WAL and check file system blocks on recovery
- If CRC check fails during recovery, remember the page in case a later CRC for that page properly matches.
- Write full pages during file system write and not when the page is modified in the buffer cache
- This allows most full page writes to happen in the background writer. It might cause problems for applying WAL on recovery into a partially-written page, but later the full page will be replaced from WAL.
- Find a way to reduce rotational delay when repeatedly writing last WAL page
- Currently fsync of WAL requires the disk platter to perform a full rotation to fsync again. One idea is to write the WAL to different offsets that might reduce the rotational delay.
- Allow WAL logging to be turned off for a table, but the table might be dropped or truncated during crash recovery
- Allow tables to bypass WAL writes and just fsync() dirty pages on commit. This should be implemented using ALTER TABLE, e.g. ALTER TABLE PERSISTENCE [ DROP | TRUNCATE | DEFAULT ]. Tables using non-default logging should not use referential integrity with default-logging tables. A table without dirty buffers during a crash could perhaps avoid the drop/truncate.
- Allow WAL logging to be turned off for a table, but the table would avoid being truncated/dropped
- To do this, only a single writer can modify the table, and writes must happen only on new pages so the new pages can be removed during crash recovery. Readers can continue accessing the table. Such tables probably cannot have indexes. One complexity is the handling of indexes on TOAST tables.
- Speed WAL recovery by allowing more than one page to be prefetched
- This should be done utilizing the same infrastructure used for prefetching in general to avoid introducing complex error-prone code in WAL replay.
Optimizer / Executor
- Consider increasing the default values of from_collapse_limit, join_collapse_limit, and/or geqo_threshold
- Have EXPLAIN ANALYZE issue NOTICE messages when the estimated and actual row counts differ by a specified percentage
- Log statements where the optimizer row estimates were dramatically different from the number of rows actually found?
Background Writer
- Consider having the background writer update the transaction status hint bits before writing out the page
- Implementing this requires the background writer to have access to system catalogs and the transaction status log.
- Test to see if calling PreallocXlogFiles() from the background writer will help with WAL segment creation latency
Concurrent Use of Resources
- Do async I/O for faster random read-ahead of data
Async I/O allows multiple I/O requests to be sent to the disk with results coming back asynchronously.
- Asynchronous I/O Support
- Re: random_page_costs - are defaults of 4.0 realistic for SCSI RAID 1
- There's random access and then there's random access
- Bitmap index scan preread using posix_fadvise (Was: There's random access and then there's random access)
The above patch is already applied as of 8.4, but it still remains to figure out how to handle plain indexscans effectively.
- Experiment with multi-threaded backend for better I/O utilization
- This would allow a single query to make use of multiple I/O channels simultaneously. One idea is to create a background reader that can pre-fetch sequential and index scan pages needed by other backends. This could be expanded to allow concurrent reads from multiple devices in a partitioned table.
- Experiment with multi-threaded backend for better CPU utilization
- This would allow several CPUs to be used for a single query, such as for sorting or query execution.
Miscellaneous Performance
- Use mmap() rather than SYSV shared memory or to write WAL files?
- This would remove the requirement for SYSV SHM but would introduce portability issues. Anonymous mmap (or mmap to /dev/zero) is required to prevent I/O overhead.
- Consider mmap()'ing files into a backend?
- Doing I/O to large tables would consume a lot of address space or require frequent mapping/unmapping. Extending the file also causes mapping problems that might require mapping only individual pages, leading to thousands of mappings. Another problem is that there is no way to _prevent_ I/O to disk from the dirty shared buffers so changes could hit disk before WAL is written.
- Consider ways of storing rows more compactly on disk:
- Reduce the row header size?
- Consider reducing on-disk varlena length from four bytes to two because a heap row cannot be more than 64k in length
- Allow configuration of backend priorities via the operating system
- Though backend priorities make priority inversion during lock waits possible, research shows that this is not a huge problem.
- Consider Cartesian joins when both relations are needed to form an indexscan qualification for a third relation
- Allow one transaction to see tuples using the snapshot of another transaction
- This would assist multiple backends in working together.
- Avoid the requirement of freezing pages that are infrequently modified
- If all rows on a page are visible, it is possible to set a bit in the visibility map (once the visibility map is 100% reliable) and not need to freeze the page, avoiding a page rewrite
Miscellaneous Other
- [E] Provide fallback_application_name in contrib/pgbench, oid2name, and dblink.
Source Code
- Add optional CRC checksum to heap and index pages
- One difficulty is how to prevent hint bit changes from affecting the computed CRC checksum.
- Improve detection of shared memory segments being used by others by checking the SysV shared memory field 'nattch'
- [D] Allow table and index WITH options to be specified via hooks, for use with plugins like GiST index methods
- Handle large object comments
- This is difficult to do because the large object doesn't exist when --schema-only is loaded.
Wire Protocol Changes
Exotic Features
- Add pre-parsing phase that converts non-ISO syntax to supported syntax
- This could allow SQL written for other databases to run without modification.
- Add features of Oracle-style packages
- A package would be a schema with session-local variables, public/private functions, and initialization functions. It is also possible to implement these capabilities in any schema and not use a separate "packages" syntax at all.
Features We Do Not Want
- All backends running as threads in a single process (not wanted)
- This eliminates the process protection we get from the current setup. Thread creation is usually the same overhead as process creation on modern systems, so it seems unwise to use a pure threaded model, and MySQL and DB2 have demonstrated that threads introduce as many issues as they solve. Threading specific operations such as I/O, seq scans, and connection management has been discussed and will probably be implemented to enable specific performance features. Moving to a threaded engine would also require halting all other work on PostgreSQL for one to two years.
- Optimizer hints (not wanted)
- Optimizer hints are used to work around problems in the optimizer and introduce upgrade and maintenance issues. We would rather have the problems reported and fixed. We have discussed a more sophisticated system of per-class cost adjustment instead, but a specification remains to be developed.
- Embedded server (not wanted)
- While PostgreSQL clients runs fine in limited-resource environments, the server requires multiple processes and a stable pool of resources to run reliably and efficiently. Stripping down the PostgreSQL server to run in the same process address space as the client application would add too much complexity and failure cases. Besides, there are several very mature embedded SQL databases already available.
- Obfuscated function source code (not wanted)
- Obfuscating function source code has minimal protective benefits because anyone with super-user access can find a way to view the code. At the same time, it would greatly complicate backups and other administrative tasks. To prevent non-super-users from viewing function source code, remove SELECT permission on pg_proc.
- Indeterminate behavior for the GROUP BY clause (not wanted)
- At least one other database product allows specification of a subset of the result columns which GROUP BY would need to be able to provide predictable results; the server is free to return any value from the group. This is not viewed as a desirable feature.

I dont think Amare's comments were made to offend Antoni but clearly they did. At the same time Amare should take some accountability for his poor defense throughout his career, alot of its effort and thats something we often havent seen from Stat on defense.Mike D'Antoni responded to comments made this week by Amar'e Stoudemire suggesting he had never been taught defense during his entire NBA career.
D'Antoni has been Stoudemire's primary coach between his time with the Suns and Knicks.
�I think it�s great,� D�Antoni said Thursday after the Los Angeles Lakers� practice. �I think it�s great that he�s listening. He might have forgotten that Mike Woodson was also running the defense the last year I was there, so I don�t know if he just didn�t pick that year to listen. But Amar�e�s great. Sometimes you say things, but hopefully, that�s another step he can take forward and help his game. That would be great.�
Its funny how the word "defense" continues to haunt Mike D'antoni, hes been having mini temper tantrums over it since before he came to the Knicks. I also think its funny how this is the 3rd time Amare has been quoted for saying that hes never learned how to play defense going back to his last year in Phoenix after Antoni left
