2007-04-16Tweak clean_encoding_name() API to avoid need to cast away const.Tom Lane

2007-04-16Fix pg_dump to not crash if -t or a similar switch is used to select a serialTom Lane
sequence for dumping without also selecting its owning table. Make it not try to emit ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY in this situation. Per report from Michael Nolan.
2007-04-16Enable IPV6 for all MSVC builds, including the VC6 libpq-only build.Magnus Hagander
Per request from Hiroshi Saito.
2007-04-16Add a multi-worker capability to autovacuum. This allows multiple workerAlvaro Herrera
processes to be running simultaneously. Also, now autovacuum processes do not count towards the max_connections limit; they are counted separately from regular processes, and are limited by the new GUC variable autovacuum_max_workers. The launcher now has intelligence to launch workers on each database every autovacuum_naptime seconds, limited only on the max amount of worker slots available. Also, the global worker I/O utilization is limited by the vacuum cost-based delay feature. Workers are "balanced" so that the total I/O consumption does not exceed the established limit. This part of the patch was contributed by ITAGAKI Takahiro. Per discussion.
2007-04-16Make plancache store cursor options so it can pass them to planner duringTom Lane
a replan. I had originally thought this was not necessary, but the new SPI facilities create a path whereby queries planned with non-default options can get into the cache, so it is necessary.
2007-04-16Support scrollable cursors (ie, 'direction' clause in FETCH) in plpgsql.Tom Lane
Pavel Stehule, reworked a bit by Tom.
2007-04-16Expose more cursor-related functionality in SPI: specifically, allowTom Lane
access to the planner's cursor-related planning options, and provide new FETCH/MOVE routines that allow access to the full power of those commands. Small refactoring of planner(), pg_plan_query(), and pg_plan_queries() APIs to make it convenient to pass the planning options down from SPI. This is the core-code portion of Pavel Stehule's patch for scrollable cursor support in plpgsql; I'll review and apply the plpgsql changes separately.
2007-04-15Avoid running build_index_pathkeys() in situations where there cannotTom Lane
possibly be any useful pathkeys --- to wit, queries with neither any join clauses nor any ORDER BY request. It's nearly free to check for this case and it saves a useful fraction of the planning time for simple queries.

2007-04-13Enable building contrib/xml2 if configured using --with-libxml.Andrew Dunstan
If this breaks things due to missing libxslt, then I'll have to revert it, but let's see if it breaks the buildfarm. Workarounds in case libxslt is missing include: . don't configure with libxml, or . don't build contrib modules from the contrib Makefile (use the individual module Makefiles instead), or . change the xml2 Makefile

2007-04-12Minor fixes for the EXPLAIN reference page. Mention the fact thatNeil Conway
EXPLAIN ANALYZE can sometimes be significantly slower than running the same query normally, and make some minor markup improvements.
2007-04-12Fixes for RESET SESSION patch, per Alvaro. Fix a typo in the RESETNeil Conway
ref page (sorry, my fault!), and simplify the coding of ResetTempTableNamespace().

> * -Add RESET SESSION command to reset all session state
2007-04-12Rearrange mdsync() looping logic to avoid the problem that a sufficientlyTom Lane
fast flow of new fsync requests can prevent mdsync() from ever completing. This was an unforeseen consequence of a patch added in Mar 2006 to prevent the fsync request queue from overflowing. Problem identified by Heikki Linnakangas and independently by ITAGAKI Takahiro; fix based on ideas from Takahiro-san, Heikki, and Tom. Back-patch as far as 8.1 because a previous back-patch introduced the problem into 8.1 ...
2007-04-12Cancel pending fsync requests during WAL replay of DROP DATABASE, per bugTom Lane
report from David Darville. Back-patch as far as 8.1, which may or may not have the problem but it seems a safe change anyway.

2007-04-12Enable IPV6 when building with MSVC.Magnus Hagander
2007-04-12RESET SESSION, plus related new DDL commands. Patch from Marko Kreen,Neil Conway
reviewed by Neil Conway. This patch adds the following DDL command variants: RESET SESSION, RESET TEMP, RESET PLANS, CLOSE ALL, and DEALLOCATE ALL. RESET SESSION is intended for use by connection pool software and the like, in order to reset a client session to something close to its initial state. Note that while most of these command variants can be executed inside a transaction block (but are not transaction-aware!), RESET SESSION cannot. While this is inconsistent, it is intended to catch programmer mistakes: RESET SESSION in an open transaction block is probably unintended.

2007-04-11Code review for btree page split WAL reduction patch. Make it actually workTom Lane
(original code *always* created a full-page image for the left page, thus leaving the intended savings unrealized), avoid risk of not having enough room on the page during xlog restore, squeeze out another couple bytes in the xlog record, clean up neglected comments.

2007-04-09Minor tweaking of index special-space definitions so that the variousTom Lane
index types can be reliably distinguished by examining the special space on an index page. Per my earlier proposal, plus the realization that there's no need for btree's vacuum cycle ID to cycle through every possible 16-bit value. Restricting its range a little costs nearly nothing and eliminates the possibility of collisions. Memo to self: remember to make bitmap indexes play along with this scheme, assuming that patch ever gets accepted.
