entirely on older Windows platforms without the needed library function. Magnus Hagander
2006-08-21Minor code rearrangement to save a few cycles in RI_FKey_check whenTom Lane
the subject tuple is already deleted: we need not open the pk_rel until after we check that.
2006-08-21Remove obsolete tip about casting bool to int, per Taiki Yamaguchi.Tom Lane
2006-08-21Make the server track an 'XID epoch', that is, maintain higher-order bitsTom Lane
of the transaction ID counter. Nothing is done with the epoch except to store it in checkpoint records, but this provides a foundation with which add-on code can pretend that XIDs never wrap around. This is a severely trimmed and rewritten version of the xxid patch submitted by Marko Kreen. Per discussion, the epoch counter seems the only part of xxid that really needs to be in the core server.

2006-08-21Fixed a few memory leaks. One indeed was part of a loop.Michael Meskes
2006-08-21Fix all known problems with pg_dump's handling of serial sequencesTom Lane
by abandoning the idea that it should say SERIAL in the dump. Instead, dump serial sequences and column defaults just like regular ones. Add a new backend command ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY to let pg_dump recreate the sequence-to-column dependency that was formerly created "behind the scenes" by SERIAL. This restores SERIAL to being truly "just a macro" consisting of component operations that can be stated explicitly in SQL. Furthermore, the new command allows sequence ownership to be reassigned, so that old mistakes can be cleaned up. Also, downgrade the OWNED-BY dependency from INTERNAL to AUTO, since there is no longer any very compelling argument why the sequence couldn't be dropped while keeping the column. (This forces initdb, to be sure the right kinds of dependencies are in there.) Along the way, add checks to prevent ALTER OWNER or SET SCHEMA on an owned sequence; you can now only do this indirectly by changing the owning table's owner or schema. This is an oversight in previous releases, but probably not worth back-patching.
2006-08-20Fix DROP OWNED BY to correctly consider the implicitly-deleted objects list forAlvaro Herrera
each object to be deleted, instead of the previous hack that just skipped INTERNAL dependencies, which didn't really work. Per report from Tom Lane. To do this, introduce a new performMultipleDeletions entry point in dependency.c to delete multiple objects at once. The dependency code then has the responsability of tracking INTERNAL and AUTO dependencies as needed. Along the way, change ObjectAddresses so that we can allocate an ObjectAddress list from outside dependency.c and not have to export the internal representation.
2006-08-20Fixed a few trivial memory leaks reported by Coverity just to test my setup.Michael Meskes
2006-08-19Added another testMichael Meskes
2006-08-19More SoC stuffMichael Meskes
2006-08-19Suppress subquery pullup/pushdown when a subquery contains volatileTom Lane
functions in its targetlist, to avoid introducing multiple evaluations of volatile functions that textually appear only once. This is a slightly tighter version of Jaime Casanova's recent patch.
2006-08-19Add a 'waiting' column to pg_stat_activity to carry the same informationTom Lane
that ps_status provides by appending 'waiting' to the PS display. This completes the project of making it feasible to turn off process title updates and instead rely on pg_stat_activity. Per my suggestion a few weeks ago.
2006-08-18Add installcheck-parallel target to top level makefiles.Andrew Dunstan
2006-08-18Add PQdescribePrepared, PQdescribePortal, and related functions to libpqTom Lane
to allow obtaining information about previously prepared statements and open cursors. Volkan Yazici
2006-08-18Fixed a buffer overrun that was masked on Linux systems.Michael Meskes
2006-08-18Add space before SP4.Bruce Momjian
2006-08-18Update Win2000SP4 mention.Bruce Momjian
2006-08-18Now that we've rearranged relation open to get a lock before touchingTom Lane
the rel, it's easy to get rid of the narrow race-condition window that used to exist in VACUUM and CLUSTER. Did some minor code-beautification work in the same area, too.
2006-08-18Changed lexer to no longer use the default rule.Michael Meskes
Synced parser and keyword list. Fixed parsing of CONNECT statement so it accepts a C string again.
2006-08-18Mention only Windows 2000SP4 works.Bruce Momjian
2006-08-18Update Win32 CMD quoting rules information location, CMD /?, fromBruce Momjian
Magnus.
2006-08-17Implement archive_timeout feature to force xlog file switches to occur no moreTom Lane
than N seconds apart. This allows a simple, if not very high performance, means of guaranteeing that a PITR archive is no more than N seconds behind real time. Also make pg_current_xlog_location return the WAL Write pointer, add pg_current_xlog_insert_location to return the Insert pointer, and fix pg_xlogfile_name_offset to return its results as a two-element record instead of a smashed-together string, as per recent discussion. Simon Riggs
2006-08-17Produce a clean failure in configure when dtrace is selected but cannot bePeter Eisentraut
found. Besides stopping those early who have no dtrace installed whatsoever, this will also alert those who have dtrace in /usr/sbin, which might not be in the path, which would produce confusing failures much later in the build process. Add documentation about pointing configure to find dtrace.
2006-08-17Fix an oversight in mergejoin planning: the planner would reject aTom Lane
mergejoin possibility where the inner rel was less well sorted than the outer (ie, it matches some but not all of the merge clauses that can work with the outer), if the inner path in question is also the overall cheapest path for its rel. This is an old bug, but I'm not sure it's worth back-patching, because it's such a corner case. Noted while investigating a test case from Peter Hardman.
2006-08-17Teach convert_subquery_pathkeys() to handle the case where theTom Lane
subquery's pathkey is a RelabelType applied to something that appears in the subquery's output; for example where the subquery returns a varchar Var and the sort order is shown as that Var coerced to text. This comes up because varchar doesn't have its own sort operator. Per example from Peter Hardman.

2006-08-16Put probes.o file in right directory, fixes dtrace compilationPeter Eisentraut
2006-08-16Seems some C compilers think 'restrict' is a fully reserved word.Tom Lane
Per buildfarm results from warthog.
2006-08-15Add a hack so that get_type_io_data() can work from bootstrap.c'sTom Lane
internal TypInfo table in bootstrap mode. This allows array_in and array_out to be used during early bootstrap, which eliminates the former obstacle to giving OUT parameters to built-in functions.
2006-08-15Add hooks to allow debugging and performance measurement pluginsTom Lane
to instrument PL/pgSQL. Korry Douglas
2006-08-15Add server support for "plugin" libraries that can be used for add-on tasksTom Lane
such as debugging and performance measurement. This consists of two features: a table of "rendezvous variables" that allows separately-loaded shared libraries to communicate, and a new GUC setting "local_preload_libraries" that allows libraries to be loaded into specific sessions without explicit cooperation from the client application. To make local_preload_libraries as flexible as possible, we do not restrict its use to superusers; instead, it is restricted to load only libraries stored in $libdir/plugins/. The existing LOAD command has also been modified to allow non-superusers to LOAD libraries stored in this directory. This patch also renames the existing GUC variable preload_libraries to shared_preload_libraries (after a suggestion by Simon Riggs) and does some code refactoring in dfmgr.c to improve clarity. Korry Douglas, with a little help from Tom Lane.
