X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/static/gitweb.js?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a88e148f65dc4805819b87b9ed43fb95169f076a;p=users%2Fbernd%2Fpostgres.git

Band-aid patch for Shraibman's 'out of free buffers' bug: disable the
keys_are_unique optimization introduced in 7.3.  A better fix will
appear in 7.4, but I think back-patching it is too risky for the stable
branch.
