Pushed that.
Mark:
I worked some more on the fixes for amcheck, and fixes for amcheck.
The second amcheck fix ends up correcting some inaccurate output in the tests
- previously xids from before xid 0 were reported to be in the future.
Previously there was no test case exercising exceeding nextxid, without
wrapping around into the past. I added that at the end of
004_verify_heapam.pl, because renumbering seemed too annoying.
What do you think?
Somewhat random note:
Is it intentional that we VACUUM FREEZE test ROWCOUNT times? That's
effectively O(ROWCOUNT^2), albeit with small enough constants to not really
matter. I don't think we need to insert the rows one-by-one either. Changing
that to a single INSERT and FREEZE shaves 10-12% off the tests. I didn't
change that, but we also fire off a psql for each tuple for heap_page_items(),
with offset $N no less. That seems to be another 500ms.
Greetings,
