2004-02-12Check only live tuples for OID validity, to avoid issues after ALTERTom Lane
TABLE. Per recent discussion.
2004-02-12Added hints about the reason, why the command string inJan Wieck
the view pg_stat_activity is missing, as per Bruces suggestion. Jan
2004-02-11Commit the reasonably uncontroversial parts of J.R. Nield's PITR patch, toTom Lane
wit: Add a header record to each WAL segment file so that it can be reliably identified. Avoid splitting WAL records across segment files (this is not strictly necessary, but makes it simpler to incorporate the header records). Make WAL entries for file creation, deletion, and truncation (as foreseen but never implemented by Vadim). Also, add support for making XLOG_SEG_SIZE configurable at compile time, similarly to BLCKSZ. Fix a couple bugs I introduced in WAL replay during recent smgr API changes. initdb is forced due to changes in pg_control contents.
2004-02-11Repair some problems in bgwriter start/stop logic. In particular, don'tTom Lane
allow the bgwriter to start before the startup subprocess has finished ... it tends to crash otherwise. (The same problem may have existed for the checkpointer, I'm not entirely sure.) Remove some code that was redundant because the bgwriter is handled as a member of the backend list.

> o Disallow dropping of an inherited constraint
2004-02-11Check and set thread-safe functions separately, rather than as a singleBruce Momjian
variable. Remove thread locking for non-thread-safe functions, instead throw a compile error. Platforms will have to re-run tools/thread to record their thread safety.
2004-02-11Properly set NEED_REENTRANT_FUNCS for threaded libpq/ecpg.Bruce Momjian
Without this patch, no thread locking or *_r functions were being used.

2004-02-10No need to link libpq into these programs ...Tom Lane
2004-02-10SGML markup improvements.Neil Conway
2004-02-10Add configure support for determining UINT64_FORMAT, the appropriateTom Lane
snprintf format for uint64 items.

2004-02-10Add URL for most current version.Bruce Momjian
2004-02-10Repair missing inclusions of -lintl for shared libraries.Tom Lane
2004-02-10Looks like we need <unistd.h> for select() on Darwin.Tom Lane
2004-02-10Centralize implementation of delay code by creating a pg_usleep()Tom Lane
subroutine in src/port/pgsleep.c. Remove platform dependencies from miscadmin.h and put them in port.h where they belong. Extend recent vacuum cost-based-delay patch to apply to VACUUM FULL, ANALYZE, and non-btree index vacuuming. By the way, where is the documentation for the cost-based-delay patch?
2004-02-10Restructure smgr API as per recent proposal. smgr no longer depends onTom Lane
the relcache, and so the notion of 'blind write' is gone. This should improve efficiency in bgwriter and background checkpoint processes. Internal restructuring in md.c to remove the not-very-useful array of MdfdVec objects --- might as well just use pointers. Also remove the long-dead 'persistent main memory' storage manager (mm.c), since it seems quite unlikely to ever get resurrected.
2004-02-08Win32 signals cleanup. Patch by Magnus Hagander, with input from ClaudioNeil Conway
Natoli and Bruce Momjian (and some cosmetic fixes from Neil Conway). Changes: - remove duplicate signal definitions from pqsignal.h - replace pqkill() with kill() and redefine kill() in Win32 - use ereport() in place of fprintf() in some error handling in pqsignal.c - export pg_queue_signal() and make use of it where necessary - add a console control handler for Ctrl-C and similar handling on Win32 - do WaitForSingleObjectEx() in CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() on Win32; query cancelling should now work on Win32 - various other fixes and cleanups

2004-02-04Use memmove() rather than memcpy() in set_var_from_var(). If this functionNeil Conway
is asked to assign a variable to itself, it will result in doing a memcpy() on an entirely-overlapping memory range, which results in undefined behavior according to ANSI C. That said, it is unlikely to actually do anything bad on any sane libc, but this keeps valgrind quiet.

2004-02-03Rename SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem.Tom Lane
Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit. Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.
2004-02-03Add:Bruce Momjian
> * Make pg_restore continue after errors, so it acts more like pg_dump scripts
2004-02-03Add function (actually an int4 and an int8 version) that generatesJoe Conway
a series of numbers, optionally using an explicit step size other than the default value (one). Use function in the information_schema to replace hard-wired knowledge of INDEX_MAX_KEYS. initdb forced due to pg_proc change. Documentation update still needed -- will be committed separately.

2004-02-02Fix a read of uninitialized memory in next_token() of hba.c, spotted viaNeil Conway
valgrind: a buffer passed to strncmp() had to be NUL-terminated. Original report and patch from Dennis Bjorkland, some cleanup by Andrew Dunstan, and finally some editorializing from Neil Conway.

2004-02-02Avoid generating invalid character encoding sequences in make_greater_string.Tom Lane
Not sure how this mistake evaded detection for so long.
2004-02-02Use Tcl_PutEnv() in place of putenv() in libpgtcl, as the latter canNeil Conway
apparently corrupt the Tcl runtime. Per suggestion from Michael Brusser <michael@synchronicity.com>
2004-02-02Adjust rename on Win32 to only link to temp name while holding lock,Bruce Momjian
then release locks and loop over renaming to active file name.
2004-02-02Briefly,Bruce Momjian
* configure + Makefile changes * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only) * PATH env var separator differences * missing win32 rand functions added * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking for a patch :-): * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed to do) * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir (fixed by next version of MingW) Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start, and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just don't expect too much else from it at this point... Claudio Natoli
2004-02-01Set locale to C before doing sort in make_ctags.Bruce Momjian
2004-02-01Update char_length() example for new semantics.Tom Lane
2004-02-01Make length() disregard trailing spaces in char(n) values, per discussionTom Lane
some time ago and recent patch from Gavin Sherry. Update documentation to point out that trailing spaces are insignificant in char(n).
2004-01-31Fix a probably-harmless read of uninitialized memory in mkdir_p(), toNeil Conway
silence a valgrind warning.
2004-01-31Remove a superfluous semi-colon.Neil Conway
2004-01-31Micro-opt: replace calls likeNeil Conway
appendStringInfo(buf, "%s", str); with appendStringInfoString(buf, str); as the latter form is slightly faster.
2004-01-31Fix text_position to not scan past end of source string in multibyteTom Lane
case, per report from Korea PostgreSQL Users' Group. Also do some cosmetic cleanup in nearby code.
