wal_keep_segments does not take effect during recovery. Fujii Masao
2010-07-14Use an <xref> for restore_command reference. Marko TiikkajaTom Lane
2010-07-14Fix several problems in pg_dump's handling of SQL/MED objects, notably failureTom Lane
to dump a PUBLIC user mapping correctly, as per bug #5560 from Shigeru Hanada. Use the pg_user_mappings view rather than trying to access pg_user_mapping directly, so that the code doesn't fail when run by a non-superuser. And clean up some minor carelessness such as unsafe usage of fmtId(). Back-patch to 8.4 where this code was added.
2010-07-14Allow full SSL certificate verification (wherein libpq checks its host nameTom Lane
parameter against server cert's CN field) to succeed in the case where both host and hostaddr are specified. As with the existing precedents for Kerberos, GSSAPI, SSPI, it is the calling application's responsibility that host and hostaddr match up --- we just use the host name as given. Per bug #5559 from Christopher Head. In passing, make the error handling and messages for the no-host-name-given failure more consistent among these four cases, and correct a lie in the documentation: we don't attempt to reverse-lookup host from hostaddr if host is missing. Back-patch to 8.4 where SSL cert verification was introduced.
2010-07-13Backpatch pg_upgrade fixes to 9.0:Bruce Momjian
In pg_upgrade, prevent psql AUTOCOMMIT=off by not loading .psqlrc. In pg_upgrade, report /bin directory checks independent of /data checks. Remove incorrect email address for pg_upgrade bug reports. On Win32, pg_upgrade cannot sent any server log output to the log file because of file access limitations on that platform.
2010-07-13Oops, in the previous fix to prevent a cursor that's being used in a FORHeikki Linnakangas
loop from being dropped, I missed subtransaction cleanup. Pinned portals must be dropped at subtransaction cleanup just as they are at main transaction cleanup. Per bug #5556 by Robert Walker. Backpatch to 8.0, 7.4 didn't have subtransactions.

2010-07-09Avoid an Assert failure in deconstruct_array() by making get_attstatsslot()Tom Lane
use the actual element type of the array it's disassembling, rather than trusting the type OID passed in by its caller. This is needed because sometimes the planner passes in a type OID that's only binary-compatible with the target column's type, rather than being an exact match. Per an example from Bernd Helmle. Possibly we should refactor get_attstatsslot/free_attstatsslot to not expect the caller to supply type ID data at all, but for now I'll just do the minimum-change fix. Back-patch to 7.4. Bernd's test case only crashes back to 8.0, but since these subroutines are the same in 7.4, I suspect there may be variant cases that would crash 7.4 as well.
2010-07-09Fix ruleutils' get_variable() to print something useful for Vars referencingTom Lane
resjunk outputs of subquery tlists, instead of throwing an error. Per bug #5548 from Daniel Grace. We might at some point find we ought to back-patch this further than 9.0, but I think that such Vars can only occur as resjunk members of upper-level tlists, in which case the problem can't arise because prior versions didn't print resjunk tlist items in EXPLAIN VERBOSE.
2010-07-09Properly report errno/out-of-disk-space error from pg_upgrade when inBruce Momjian
copy mode, per report from depstein@alliedtesting.com. Patch suggestion from Magnus. Backpatch to 9.0.X.

2010-07-08Minor kibitzing on previous patch: no need to run check more than once.Tom Lane
(_PG_init should be called only once anyway, but as long as it's got an internal guard against repeat calls, that should be in front of the version check.)
2010-07-08Install safeguard against running PL/Python 2 and 3 in the same sessionPeter Eisentraut
2010-07-08Doc change: effected -> affected, per correction from Matthew WakelingBruce Momjian
2010-07-08Add a cross-reference to precedence information to CREATE OPERATOR'sTom Lane
documentation. Per suggestion from Marc Cousin.
2010-07-08Make the Windows tcp keepalive support depend on the existance of theMagnus Hagander
SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS define instead of just WIN32, since MingW doesn't support this API (yet?).
2010-07-08Update obsolete comment. Noted by Josh Tolley.Tom Lane
2010-07-08Fix variant float8 expected files to have exactly the expected spacing.Tom Lane
This wasn't important when we used diff's -w (--ignore-all-space) option to compare regression result files, but it is now. Per buildfarm member canary, which evidently has been offline since we did that in November, but came to life again today.
2010-07-08Add support for TCP keepalives on Windows, both for backend and the newMagnus Hagander
libpq support.
2010-07-08Fix "cannot handle unplanned sub-select" error that can occur when aTom Lane
sub-select contains a join alias reference that expands into an expression containing another sub-select. Per yesterday's report from Merlin Moncure and subsequent off-list investigation. Back-patch to 7.4. Older versions didn't attempt to flatten sub-selects in ways that would trigger this problem.
2010-07-07Adjust mbutils.c so it won't get broken by future pgindent runs.Tom Lane
To do that, replace L'\0' by (WCHAR) 0. Perhaps someday we should teach pgindent about wide-character literals, but so long as this is the only use-case in the entire Postgres sources, a workaround seems easier.
2010-07-07Document the interaction of write-barrier-enabled file systems, and BBUBruce Momjian
caches, per June email thread.
2010-07-06Make log_temp_files based on kB, and revert docs & comments to match.Robert Haas
Per extensive discussion on pgsql-hackers. We are deliberately not back-patching this even though the behavior of 8.3 and 8.4 is unquestionably broken, for fear of breaking existing users of this parameter. This incompatibility should be release-noted.
2010-07-06Accept slightly grotty coding in Makefile.global in order to keep the -LTom Lane
flag for src/port/ in front of any -L flags placed in LDFLAGS by configure. This undoes an L-flag-ordering change that I had thought would be safe, but seems to be making at least one buildfarm member fail --- the only theory for orca's failure that I can think of is that it's got an old copy of libpgport.a in /usr/lib. Also allow for LDFLAGS_SL to be set by contrib makefiles before they invoke Makefile.global.
2010-07-06Add note that using PL/Python 2 and 3 in the same session will probably crashPeter Eisentraut
2010-07-06Support setting the keepalive idle time on MacOS X.Robert Haas
MacOS X uses TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than TCP_KEEPIDLE for this purpose. Thanks to Fujii Masao for the review.
2010-07-06Undo pgindent breakage (again). Per buildfarm.Tom Lane

2010-07-06Update pgindent testing instructions.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-06Still more third thoughts: when linking shared libraries, LDFLAGS probablyTom Lane
needs to appear before anything placed in SHLIB_LINK. This is because SHLIB_LINK is typically a subset of LIBS, and LIBS has to appear after LDFLAGS on platforms that are sensitive to the relative order of -L and -l switches.
2010-07-06Allow for LDFLAGS_SL already having a value in Makefile.aix.Tom Lane
Per buildfarm results.
2010-07-05Dept. of third thoughts: PG_LIBS may contain a -L switch, so it had betterTom Lane
stay in front of LDFLAGS.
2010-07-05Make sure LDFLAGS come before LIBS when linking contrib programs.Tom Lane
Solaris, at least, seems to be sensitive to the relative order of -L and -l switches, so this is needed. Per buildfarm results.
2010-07-05Fix a few single-file (MODULES, not MODULE_big) contrib makefiles that wereTom Lane
supposing that they should set SHLIB_LINK rather than LDFLAGS_SL. Since these don't go through Makefile.shlib that was a no-op on most platforms. Also regularize the few platform-specific Makefiles that did pay attention to SHLIB_LINK: it seems that the real value of that is to pull in BE_DLLLIBS, so do that instead. Per buildfarm failures on cygwin.
2010-07-05Split the LDFLAGS make variable into two parts: LDFLAGS is now used forTom Lane
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific %.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD) directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.) Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.
2010-07-05The previous fix in CVS HEAD and 8.4 for handling the case where a cursorHeikki Linnakangas
being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop is closed was inadequate, as Tom Lane pointed out. The bug affects FOR statement variants too, because you can close an implicitly created cursor too by guessing the "<unnamed portal X>" name created for it. To fix that, "pin" the portal to prevent it from being dropped while it's being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop. Backpatch all the way to 7.4 which is the oldest supported version.
2010-07-04Simplify test_fsync duration computation.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-04Report test_fynsc times in tests per second, instead of total seconds.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-03Remove SGML tab.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-03Don't set recoveryLastXTime when replaying a checkpoint --- that was a bogusTom Lane
idea from the start since the variable is only meant to track commit/abort events. This patch reverts the logic around the variable to what it was in 8.4, except that the value is now kept in shared memory rather than a static variable, so that it can be reported correctly by CreateRestartPoint (which is executed in the bgwriter).
2010-07-03Make vacuum_defer_cleanup_age be PGC_SIGHUP level, since it's not sensibleTom Lane
to have different values in different processes of the primary server. Also put it into the "Streaming Replication" GUC category; it doesn't belong in "Standby Servers" because you use it on the master not the standby. In passing also correct guc.c's idea of wal_keep_segments' category.
2010-07-03Replace max_standby_delay with two parameters, max_standby_archive_delay andTom Lane
max_standby_streaming_delay, and revise the implementation to avoid assuming that timestamps found in WAL records can meaningfully be compared to clock time on the standby server. Instead, the delay limits are compared to the elapsed time since we last obtained a new WAL segment from archive or since we were last "caught up" to WAL data arriving via streaming replication. This avoids problems with clock skew between primary and standby, as well as other corner cases that the original coding would misbehave in, such as the primary server having significant idle time between transactions. Per my complaint some time ago and considerable ensuing discussion. Do some desultory editing on the hot standby documentation, too.
