Looks correct to me. A better workaround for the sentence would be something like: "and it also happens that the user always has permission" Looks easier to read, I think.

< > * Allow substring/replace() to get/set bit values
2004-02-12Fixed bug where FlushRelationBuffers() did call StrategyInvalidateBuffer()Jan Wieck
for already empty buffers because their buffer tag was not cleard out when the buffers have been invalidated before. Also removed the misnamed BM_FREE bufhdr flag and replaced the checks, which effectively ask if the buffer is unpinned, with checks against the refcount field. Jan

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.
2004-02-11Does not apply anymore:Bruce Momjian
< * Make blind writes go through the file descriptor cache
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.
2004-02-10More clearly describe why PQinSend returns false for non-threaded libpq.Bruce Momjian
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.
