Andrew Dunstan 2b27273435 Optimize btree insertions for common case of increasing values
Remember the last page of an index insert if it's the rightmost leaf
page. If the next entry belongs on and can fit in the remembered page,
insert the new entry there as long as we can get a lock on the page.
Otherwise, fall back on the more expensive method of searching for
the right place to insert the entry.

This provides a performance improvement for the common case where an
index entry is for monotonically increasing or nearly monotonically
increasing value such as an identity field or a current timestamp.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
