2000-06-25Relaxed pickiness about user and group commands in transaction blocks.Peter Eisentraut
2000-06-24Update FAQ.Bruce Momjian
2000-06-22Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on somePeter Eisentraut
option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this. Removed permissions check on SHOW command. Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the official data model better. Adjust documentation. Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself, don't wait for the magic -p switch. Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary. Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode 0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.

2000-06-20Cleaned up PL/pgSQL build. Fixed a couple of copyandpaste'os in thePeter Eisentraut
interfaces and interfaces/odbc make files. Adjusted regression test driver to start building and installing in the top level directory.
2000-06-20Make renaming a temp table behave sensibly. We don't need to touchTom Lane
the underlying table at all, just change the mapping entry ... but that logic was missing.
2000-06-20Make inheritance planning logic a little simpler and clearer,Tom Lane
hopefully even a little faster.
2000-06-20Fix handling of type tuple associated with a temp relation. We haveTom Lane
to apply the tempname->realname mapping to type name lookup as well as relation name lookup, else the type tuple will not be found when wanted. This fixes bugs like this one: create temp table foo (f1 int); select foo.f2 from foo; ERROR: Unable to locate type name 'foo' in catalog
2000-06-19Modify index-opening code to guarantee that the indexes of a relationTom Lane
are opened in a consistent order by different backends (I ordered them by index OID because that's easy, but any other consistent order would do as well). This avoids potential deadlock for index types that we acquire exclusive locks on ... ie, rtree.
2000-06-19Ensure that kernel error code is included in smgr-level error reports.Tom Lane
Tweak mdcreate a little bit so that it returns the right errno.
2000-06-19Integrated ODBC driver into regular build. No more standalone business,Peter Eisentraut
which didn't work anyway. Had to back out unixodbc related patch which broke the regular ODBC build.

and readability.

2000-06-19Clean up bogosities in pg_opclass, pg_amop, pg_amproc. There are amprocTom Lane
entries now for int8 and network hash indexes. int24_ops and int42_ops are gone. pg_opclass no longer contains multiple entries claiming to be the default opclass for the same datatype. opr_sanity regress test extended to catch errors like these in the future.
2000-06-19Linux/alpha patch.Bruce Momjian
2000-06-18Reimplement nodeMaterial to use a temporary BufFile (or even memory, if theTom Lane
materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation. This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname' plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans, and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.
2000-06-18Separated set constraints and set transaction reference pages, revised setPeter Eisentraut
reference page to new configuration system. Big update to administrator's guide, chapters Runtime environment, Client authentication, and User management, the latter two were part of the old Security chapter.
2000-06-18Reinstate BufFileTell().Tom Lane
2000-06-17Get rid of IndexIsUniqueNoCache() kluge by the simple expedient ofTom Lane
passing the index-is-unique flag to index build routines (duh! ... why wasn't it done this way to begin with?). Aside from eliminating an eyesore, this should save a few milliseconds in btree index creation because a full scan of pg_index is not needed any more.
2000-06-17Fix performance problems with pg_index lookups (see, for example,Tom Lane
discussion of 5/19/00). pg_index is now searched for indexes of a relation using an indexscan. Moreover, this is done once and cached in the relcache entry for the relation, in the form of a list of OIDs for the indexes. This list is used by the parser and executor to drive lookups in the pg_index syscache when they want to know the properties of the indexes. Net result: index information will be fully cached for repetitive operations such as inserts.
2000-06-17Clean out another pocket of functions called via nonspecific functionTom Lane
pointers, namely the catcache tuple fetch routines. Also get rid of the unused and possibly confusing 'size' field in struct cachedesc. Since it doesn't allow for variable-length fields, anyone who actually trusted it would likely be making a mistake...
2000-06-17Remove fmgrstamp-h business -- not needed and confusingPeter Eisentraut
Add options to configure to automatically build for Kerberos support; no more editing of make files.

2000-06-15Update TODO list.Bruce Momjian
2000-06-15Repair Large Object bugs demonstrated by Ian Grant's example. inv_writeTom Lane
was inappropriately relying on rel->rd_nblocks to tell if the LO is empty (apparently a hack to get around a long-dead index bug), causing misbehavior on a written-but-never-vacuumed LO. Also, inv_read failed to cope gracefully with 'holes' (unwritten regions) in the object.

2000-06-14Big warnings cleanup for Solaris/GCC. Down to about 40 now, butPeter Eisentraut
we'll get there one day. Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't have automake installed. Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically because of CVS timestamp skew.

2000-06-14I had overlooked the fact that some fmgr-callable functions return voidTom Lane
--- ie, they're only called for side-effects. Add a PG_RETURN_VOID() macro and use it where appropriate. This probably doesn't change the machine code by a single bit ... it's just for documentation.
