Beta feature

Hackorum builds and tests every patch posted to the lists, not only commitfest submissions. This is Hackorum's own CI rather than the PostgreSQL project's, and it is still under testing - please report anything that looks wrong.

never appliedsuccessCI history

You can run a PostgreSQL built from this patch straight from Docker, with no checkout and no build:

docker run --rm -p 5432:5432 ghcr.io/hackorum-dev/postgres-patch:t76837
psql -h localhost -U postgres

Built from patchset v2 (message #2), July 28, 2026 at 01:03 PM.

Every patchset is also pushed to a branch of our PostgreSQL fork, so you can check out the same tree CI built. Without a PostgreSQL checkout:

git clone --branch t76837_2 https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.git

In a checkout you already have, add the fork once:

git remote add hackorum https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.git

then, for this patchset and every later one:

git fetch hackorum t76837_2 && git checkout t76837_2

Patchset v2 (message #2) is on t76837_2

Nice catch, it's been this way since 9474dd7ed6988924 which was committed in
May 1999. The book does actually have a subtitle though, which is "Classical
Database Systems". Fixed in the attached.

Re: typo in literature reference

No fair, I only looked at the back of the spine, not at the front page, so
I missed the actual subtitle :P
