Hi

FWIW I don't think the on_exit_nicely business is in final shape just
yet.  We're doing something super strange and novel about keeping track
of an array index, so that we can modify it later.  Or something like
that, I think?  That doesn't sound all that nice to me.  Elsewhere it
was suggested that we need some way to keep track of the list of things
that need cleanup (a list of connections IIRC?) -- perhaps in a
thread-local variable or a global or something -- and we install the
cleanup function once, and that reads from the variable.  The program
can add things to the list, or remove them, at will; and we don't need
to modify the cleanup function in any way.

Thanks Álvaro for the feedback.

I removed the old handling of on_exit_nicely_list from the last patch
set and added one simple function to just update the archive handle in
shutdown_info.  (shutdown_info.AHX = AHX;)

For first database, we will add entry into on_exit_nicely_list array
and for rest database, we will update only shutdown_info as we already
closed connection for previous database.With this fix, we will not
touch entry of on_exit_nicely_list for each database.

Here, I am attaching updated patches.

OK, looks good. here's my latest. I'm currently working on tidying up
docco and comments.


cheers
