2005-09-08Update regression tests for new USA timezone data. Mea culpa for notTom Lane
realizing that the regression tests could be affected.
2005-09-07Update timezone data files to release 2005m of the zic database.Tom Lane
Among other changes, this reflects the recently passed change in USA daylight savings rules.
2005-09-05Implement a preliminary 'template' facility for procedural languages,Tom Lane
as per my recent proposal. For now the template data is hard-wired in proclang.c --- this should be replaced later by a new shared system catalog, but we don't want to force initdb during 8.1 beta. This change lets us cleanly load existing dump files even if they contain outright wrong information about a PL's support functions, such as a wrong path to the shared library or a missing validator function. Also, we can revert the recent kluges to make pg_dump dump PL support functions that are stored in pg_catalog. While at it, I removed the code in pg_regress that replaced $libdir with a hardcoded path for temporary installations. This is no longer needed given our support for relocatable installations.
2005-09-05Back out prior patch and instead just suppress SubqueryScan eliminationTom Lane
when there are extra resjunk columns in the child node. I found some additional cases involving Append nodes that weren't handled by the prior patch, and it's not clear how to fix them in the same way without breaking inheritance cases. So the prudent path seems to be to narrow the scope of the optimization.
2005-09-05Clean up version comparison/display code, per gripe from Michael Fuhr.Tom Lane
2005-09-05For non-projecting plan node types such as Limit, set_plan_referencesTom Lane
has to recopy the input plan node's targetlist if it removes a SubqueryScan node just below the non-projecting node. For simplicity I made it recopy always. Per bug report from Allan Wang and Michael Fuhr.

2005-09-02Clean up a couple of ad-hoc computations of the maximum number of tuplesTom Lane
on a page, as suggested by ITAGAKI Takahiro. Also, change a few places that were using some other estimates of max-items-per-page to consistently use MaxOffsetNumber. This is conservatively large --- we could have used the new MaxHeapTuplesPerPage macro, or a similar one for index tuples --- but those places are simply declaring a fixed-size buffer and assuming it will work, rather than actively testing for overrun. It seems safer to size these buffers in a way that can't overflow even if the page is corrupt.
2005-09-02In copy_file, use a palloc'd buffer instead of just a local char array;Tom Lane
a local array isn't guaranteed to have any particular alignment, and so it could slow down the data transfer.

* Merge xmin/xmax/cmin/cmax back into three header fields Before subtransactions, there used to be only three fields needed to store these four values. This was possible because only the current transaction looks at the cmin/cmax values. If the current transaction created and expired the row the fields stored where xmin (same as xmax), cmin, cmax, and if the transaction was expiring a row from a another transaction, the fields stored were xmin (cmin was not needed), xmax, and cmax. Such a system worked because a transaction could only see committed rows from another transaction. However, subtransactions can see rows from outer transactions, and once the subtransaction completes, the outer transaction continues, requiring the storage of all four fields. With subtransactions, an outer transaction can create a row, a subtransaction expire it, and when the subtransaction completes, the outer transaction still has to have proper visibility of the row, for example, for cursors. One possible solution is to create a phantom cid which represents a cmin/cmax pair and is stored in local memory.
2005-09-02Add some notes about how pg_dump relates to the practices recommendedTom Lane
under 'Populating a Database'.

2005-08-30Update documentation about shared memory sizing to reflect currentTom Lane
reality.
2005-08-29Reduce default value of max_prepared_transactions from 50 to 5. ThisTom Lane
saves nearly 700kB in the default shared memory segment size, which seems worthwhile, and it is a feature that many users won't use anyway. Per Heikki's argument, there is no point in a compromise value --- those who are using 2PC at all will probably want it at least equal to max_connections. But we can't set it to zero by default without breaking the prepared_xacts regression test.
