2010-01-13When loading critical system indexes into the relcache, ensure we lock theTom Lane
underlying catalog not only the index itself. Otherwise, if the cache load process touches the catalog (which will happen for many though not all of these indexes), we are locking index before parent table, which can result in a deadlock against processes that are trying to lock them in the normal order. Per today's failure on buildfarm member gothic_moth; it's surprising the problem hadn't been identified before. Back-patch to 8.2. Earlier releases didn't have the issue because they didn't try to lock these indexes during load (instead assuming that they couldn't change schema at all during multiuser operation).
2010-01-13Fix bug #5269: ResetPlanCache mustn't invalidate cached utility statements,Tom Lane
especially not ROLLBACK. ROLLBACK might need to be executed in an already aborted transaction, when there is no safe way to revalidate the plan. But in general there's no point in marking utility statements invalid, since they have no plans in the normal sense of the word; so we might as well work a bit harder here to avoid future revalidation cycles. Back-patch to 8.4, where the bug was introduced.
2010-01-13Applied Zoltan's patch to make char the default sqlda type.Michael Meskes
Given that undefined types are handled as character strings anyway the type translation function can simply return the correcponding ECPGt_char type.
2010-01-13Fix SQL3 type return value.Michael Meskes
For non-SQL3 types ecpg used to return -Oid. This will break if there are enough Oids to fill the namespace. Therefore we play it safe and return 0 if there is no Oid->SQL3 tyoe mapping available.
2010-01-13Make fixed_paramref_hook behave properly when there are 'unused' slotsTom Lane
in the parameter array. Noted while experimenting with an example from Pavel. This wouldn't come up in normal use, but it ought to honor the specification that a parameter array can have unused slots.
2010-01-12Update MSVC build instructions.Magnus Hagander
Updated to reflect building with Visual Studio 2008, with just the Platform SDK, and for 64-bit Windows.
2010-01-12Fix relcache reload mechanism to be more robust in the face of errorsTom Lane
occurring during a reload, such as query-cancel. Instead of zeroing out an existing relcache entry and rebuilding it in place, build a new relcache entry, then swap its contents with the old one, then free the new entry. This avoids problems with code believing that a previously obtained pointer to a cache entry must still reference a valid entry, as seen in recent failures on buildfarm member jaguar. (jaguar is using CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS which raises the probability of failure substantially, but the problem could occur in the field without that.) The previous design was okay when it was made, but subtransactions and the ResourceOwner mechanism make it unsafe now. Also, make more use of the already existing rd_isvalid flag, so that we remember that the entry requires rebuilding even if the first attempt fails. Back-patch as far as 8.2. Prior versions have enough issues around relcache reload anyway (due to inadequate locking) that fixing this one doesn't seem worthwhile.
2010-01-12Removed ecpg Changelog file that was only there for historical reasons and ↵Michael Meskes
isn't actively used anymore.
2010-01-12Please tablespace directories in their own subdirectory so pg_migratorBruce Momjian
can upgrade clusters without renaming the tablespace directories. New directory structure format is, e.g.: $PGDATA/pg_tblspc/20981/PG_8.5_201001061/719849/83292814
2010-01-12Fix aclexplode to not explode on a zero-entry ACL array.Tom Lane
(An Assert is no substitute for thinking clearly :-() Minor style kibitzing too. Per report from Robert Treat.

2010-01-11Add some simple support and documentation for using process-specific oom_adjTom Lane
settings to prevent the postmaster from being OOM-killed on Linux systems. Alex Hunsaker and Tom Lane
2010-01-11Improve ExecEvalVar's handling of whole-row variables in cases where theTom Lane
rowtype contains dropped columns. Sometimes the input tuple will be formed from a select targetlist in which dropped columns are filled with a NULL of an arbitrary type (the planner typically uses INT4, since it can't tell what type the dropped column really was). So we need to relax the rowtype compatibility check to not insist on physical compatibility if the actual column value is NULL. In principle we might need to do this for functions returning composite types, too (see tupledesc_match()). In practice there doesn't seem to be a bug there, probably because the function will be using the same cached rowtype descriptor as the caller. Fixing that code path would require significant rearrangement, so I left it alone for now. Per complaint from Filip Rembialkowski.
2010-01-11remove use of temp file for perlchunks.h, as in recent change to plperl ↵Andrew Dunstan
GNUmakefile
2010-01-10Some trivial adjustments in comments for struct RelationData.Tom Lane
2010-01-10Remove unnecessary use of temp file. Tim BunceTom Lane
2010-01-10Improve plpgsql parsing to report "foo is not a known variable", rather than aTom Lane
generic syntax error, when seeing "foo := something" and foo isn't recognized. This buys back most of the helpfulness discarded in my previous patch by not throwing errors when a qualified name appears to match a row variable but the last component doesn't match any field of the row. It covers other cases where our error messages left something to be desired, too.
2010-01-10Improve plpgsql's handling of record field references by forcing all potentialTom Lane
field references in SQL expressions to have RECFIELD datum-array entries at parse time. If it turns out that the reference is actually to a SQL column, the RECFIELD entry is useless, but it costs little. This allows us to get rid of the previous use of FieldSelect applied to a whole-row Param for the record variable; which was not only slower than a direct RECFIELD reference, but failed for references to system columns of a trigger's NEW or OLD record. Per report and fix suggestion from Dean Rasheed.
2010-01-10Docs for behaviour change of drop database during Hot StandbySimon Riggs
Adding missing docs for previous Hot Standby patch.
2010-01-10Update Windows installation notes.Magnus Hagander
pginstaller isn't used anymore, in favor of the one-click installers. Make it clear that we support Windows 2000 and newer with the native port, instead of first saying we support NT4 and then saying we don't.
2010-01-10During Hot Standby, fix drop database when sessions idle.Simon Riggs
Previously we only cancelled sessions that were in-transaction. Simple fix is to just cancel all sessions without waiting. Doing it this way avoids complicating common code paths, which would not be worth the trouble to cover this rare case. Problem report and fix by Andres Freund, edited somewhat by me
2010-01-10Create typedef pgsocket for storing socket descriptors.Magnus Hagander
This silences some warnings on Win64. Not using the proper SOCKET datatype was actually wrong on Win32 as well, but didn't cause any warnings there. Also create define PGINVALID_SOCKET to indicate an invalid/non-existing socket, instead of using a hardcoded -1 value.
2010-01-10Remove partial, broken support for NULL pointers when fetching attributes.Robert Haas
Previously, fastgetattr() and heap_getattr() tested their fourth argument against a null pointer, but any attempt to use them with a literal-NULL fourth argument evaluated to *(void *)0, resulting in a compiler error. Remove these NULL tests to avoid leading future readers of this code to believe that this has a chance of working. Also clean up related legacy code in nocachegetattr(), heap_getsysattr(), and nocache_index_getattr(). The new coding standard is that any code which calls a getattr-type function or macro which takes an isnull argument MUST pass a valid boolean pointer. Per discussion with Bruce Momjian, Tom Lane, Alvaro Herrera.
2010-01-10Document pg_tablespace.spcoptions.Robert Haas
This should have been part of the original tablespace-options patch, but I overlooked the need to update this portion of the documentation.
2010-01-09Make ExecEvalFieldSelect throw a more intelligible error if it's asked toTom Lane
extract a system column, and remove a couple of lines that are useless in light of the fact that we aren't ever going to support this case. There isn't much point in trying to make this work because a tuple Datum does not carry many of the system columns. Per experimentation with a case reported by Dean Rasheed; we'll have to fix his problem somewhere else.
2010-01-09During Hot Standby, set DatabasePath correctly during relcache init fileSimon Riggs
deletion, so that we attempt to unlink the correct filepath. unlink() errors are ignorable there, so lack of a DatabasePath initialization step did not cause visible problems until a related bug showed up on Solaris. Code refactored from xact_redo_commit() to ProcessCommittedInvalidationMessages() in inval.c. Recovery may replay shared invalidation messages for many databases, so we cannot SetDatabasePath() once as we do in normal backends. Read the databaseid from the shared invalidation messages, then set DatabasePath temporarily before calling RelationCacheInitFileInvalidate(). Problem report by Robert Treat, analysis and fix by me.
2010-01-09Provide regression testing for plperlu, and for plperl+plperlu interaction.Andrew Dunstan
The latter are only run if the platform can run both interpreters in the same backend.

2010-01-09Fix makefile so it works for VPATH case.Tom Lane
2010-01-09Tidy up and refactor plperl.c.Andrew Dunstan
- Changed MULTIPLICITY check from runtime to compiletime. No loads the large Config module. - Changed plperl_init_interp() to return new interp and not alter the global interp_state - Moved plperl_safe_init() call into check_interp(). - Removed plperl_safe_init_done state variable as interp_state now covers that role. - Changed plperl_create_sub() to take a plperl_proc_desc argument. - Simplified return value handling in plperl_create_sub. - Changed perl.com link in the docs to perl.org and tweaked wording to clarify that require, not use, is what's blocked. - Moved perl code in large multi-line C string literal macros out to plc_*.pl files. - Added a test2macro.pl utility to convert the plc_*.pl files to macros in a perlchunks.h file which is #included - Simplifed plperl_safe_init() slightly - Optimized pg_verifymbstr calls to avoid unneeded strlen()s. Patch from Tim Bunce, with minor editing from me.
2010-01-08Also update ChangerLog file.Michael Meskes
2010-01-08Fix oversight in EvalPlanQualFetch: after failing to lock a tuple becauseTom Lane
someone else has just updated it, we have to set priorXmax to that tuple's xmax (ie, the XID of the other xact that updated it) before looping back to examine the next tuple. Obviously, the next tuple in the update chain should have that XID as its xmin, not the same xmin as the preceding tuple that we had been trying to lock. The mismatch would cause the EvalPlanQual logic to decide that the tuple chain ended in a deletion, when actually there was a live tuple that should have been found. I inserted this error when recently adding logic to EvalPlanQual to make it lock tuples before returning them (as opposed to the old method in which the lock would occur much later, causing a great deal of work to be wasted if we only then discover someone else updated it). Sigh. Per today's report from Takahiro Itagaki of inconsistent results during pgbench runs.

This uses the same infrastructure with EXPLAIN BUFFERS to support {shared|local}_blks_{hit|read|written} andtemp_blks_{read|written} columns in the pg_stat_statements view. The dumped file format also updated. Thanks to Robert Haas for the review.
2010-01-07Document why we copy reloptions into CacheMemoryContext after-the-fact.Robert Haas
2010-01-07Fix 3-parameter form of bit substring() to throw error for negative length,Tom Lane
as required by SQL standard.
2010-01-07Make bit/varbit substring() treat any negative length as meaning "all the restTom Lane
of the string". The previous coding treated only -1 that way, and would produce an invalid result value for other negative values. We ought to fix it so that 2-parameter bit substring() is a different C function and the 3-parameter form throws error for negative length, but that takes a pg_proc change which is impractical in the back branches; and in any case somebody might be relying on -1 working this way. So just do this as a back-patchable fix.
2010-01-07Fix (some of the) breakage introduced into query-cancel processing by HS.Tom Lane
It is absolutely not okay to throw an ereport(ERROR) in any random place in the code just because DoingCommandRead is set; interrupting, say, OpenSSL in the midst of its activities is guaranteed to result in heartache. Instead of that, undo the original optimizations that threw away QueryCancelPending anytime we were starting or finishing a command read, and instead discard the cancel request within ProcessInterrupts if we find that there is no HS reason for forcing a cancel and we are DoingCommandRead. In passing, may I once again condemn the practice of changing the code and not fixing the adjacent comment that you just turned into a lie?

2010-01-07Rename new vacuumdb option to --analyze-only from --only-analyze.Bruce Momjian
2010-01-07Remove all the special-case code for INT64_IS_BUSTED, per decision thatTom Lane
we're not going to support that anymore. I did keep the 64-bit-CRC-with-32-bit-arithmetic code, since it has a performance excuse to live. It's a bit moot since that's all ifdef'd out, of course.
2010-01-07More tablespace.c comment improvements.Bruce Momjian
2010-01-07Clarify tablespace.c::TablespaceCreateDbspace() comments.Bruce Momjian
2010-01-07Further fixes for per-tablespace options patch.Robert Haas
Add missing varlena header to TableSpaceOpts structure. And, per Tom Lane, instead of calling tablespace_reloptions in CacheMemoryContext, call it in the caller's memory context and copy the value over afterwards, to reduce the chances of a session-lifetime memory leak.
2010-01-07Fail in a nicer way if we have --with-perl and no Perl.Tom Lane
2010-01-07Improve a couple of comments relating to large object snapshot management.Robert Haas
2010-01-07Make configure check the version of Perl we're building with, and rejectTom Lane
versions < 5.8. Also, if there's no Perl, emit a warning informing the user that he won't be able to build from a CVS pull. This is exactly the same treatment we give Bison and Perl, and for the same reasons.
2010-01-07Alter the configure script to fail immediately if the C compiler does notTom Lane
provide a working 64-bit integer datatype. As recently noted, we've been broken on such platforms since early in the 8.4 development cycle. Since it took nearly two years for anyone to even notice, it seems that the rationale for continuing to support such platforms has reached the point of non-existence. Rather than thrashing around to try to make it work again, we'll just admit up front that this no longer works. Back-patch to 8.4 since that branch is also broken. We should go around to remove INT64_IS_BUSTED support, but just in HEAD, so that seems like material for a separate commit.
