2006-04-25Update SQL-standard INTERVAL item:Bruce Momjian
o Support ISO INTERVAL syntax if units cannot be determined from the string, and are supplied after the string The SQL standard states that the units after the string specify the units of the string, e.g. INTERVAL '2' MINUTE should return '00:02:00'. The current behavior has the units restrict the interval value to the specified unit or unit range, INTERVAL '70' SECOND returns '00:00:10'. For syntax that isn't uniquely ISO or PG syntax, like '1' or '1:30', treat as ISO if there is a range specification clause, and as PG if there no clause is present, e.g. interpret '1:30' MINUTE TO SECOND as '1 minute 30 seconds', and interpret '1:30' as '1 hour, 30 minutes'. This makes common cases like SELECT INTERVAL '1' MONTH SQL-standard results. The SQL standard supports a limited number of unit combinations and doesn't support unit names in the string. The PostgreSQL syntax is more flexible in the range of units supported, e.g. PostgreSQL supports '1 year 1 hour', while the SQL standard does not.

2006-04-22Simplify ParamListInfo data structure to support only numbered parameters,Tom Lane
not named ones, and replace linear searches of the list with array indexing. The named-parameter support has been dead code for many years anyway, and recent profiling suggests that the searching was costing a noticeable amount of performance for complex queries.

2006-04-21Add some optional code (conditionally compiled under #ifdef LWLOCK_STATS)Tom Lane
to track the number of LWLock acquisitions and the number of times we block waiting for an LWLock, on a per-process basis. After having needed this twice in the past few months, seems like it should go into CVS.
2006-04-20Eliminate some no-longer-needed workarounds for palloc's old behaviorTom Lane
of rejecting palloc(0). Also, tweak like_selectivity() to avoid assuming the presented pattern is nonempty; although that assumption is valid, it doesn't really help much, and the new coding is more correct anyway since it properly handles redundant wildcards. In combination these changes should eliminate a Coverity warning noted by Martijn.
2006-04-20Add "retry another address" log message on statistics collector socketBruce Momjian
failure, to reduce confusion in the log file.
2006-04-20Ensure that we validate the page header of the first page of a WAL fileTom Lane
whenever we start to read within that file. The first page carries extra identification information that really ought to be checked, but as the code stood, this was only checked when we switched sequentially into a new WAL file, or if by chance the starting checkpoint record was within the first page. This patch ensures that we will detect bogus 'long header' information before we start replaying the WAL sequence.
2006-04-19Recognize __ppc64__, which seems to be Apple's spelling of the predefinedTom Lane
symbol for PPC64 hardware. I hadn't known that Apple supported PPC64 at all, but darn if there aren't 64-bit variant libraries in OS X as well as support in their gcc.

2006-04-19Fix problem that sscanf(buf, "%d", &val) eats leading white space, butBruce Momjian
our to_* functions were not handling that.
2006-04-19Remove use of lorder and tsort while building static libraries. There'sTom Lane
no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references. Removing the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some platforms.
2006-04-19Fix ancient memory leak in PQprintTuples(); our code no longer uses thisTom Lane
routine, but perhaps some applications do. Found by Martijn van Oosterhout using Coverity.

Backpatch.
2006-04-18Document that errors are not output by log_statement (was they were inBruce Momjian
8.0), and add as suggestion to use log_min_error_statement for this purpose. I also fixed the code so the first EXECUTE has it's prepare, rather than the last which is what was in the current code. Also remove "protocol" prefix for SQL EXECUTE output because it is not accurate. Backpatch to 8.1.X.
2006-04-17Fix the torn-page hazard for PITR base backups by forcing full page writesTom Lane
to occur between pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup(), even if the GUC setting full_page_writes is OFF. Per discussion, doing this in combination with the already-existing checkpoint during pg_start_backup() should ensure safety against partial page updates being included in the backup. We do not have to force full page writes to occur during normal PITR operation, as I had first feared.

entire table load.
2006-04-15Support the syntaxTom Lane
CREATE AGGREGATE aggname (input_type) (parameter_list) along with the old syntax where the input type was named in the parameter list. This fits more naturally with the way that the aggregate is identified in DROP AGGREGATE and other utility commands; furthermore it has a natural extension to handle multiple-input aggregates, where the basetype-parameter method would get ugly. In fact, this commit fixes the grammar and all the utility commands to support multiple-input aggregates; but DefineAggregate rejects it because the executor isn't fixed yet. I didn't do anything about treating agg(*) as a zero-input aggregate instead of artificially making it a one-input aggregate, but that should be considered in combination with supporting multi-input aggregates.

> * -Re-enable the GUC full_page_writes in 8.2 when reliability issues have
2006-04-14Make the world safe for full_page_writes. Allow XLOG records that try toTom Lane
update no-longer-existing pages to fall through as no-ops, but make a note of each page number referenced by such records. If we don't see a later XLOG entry dropping the table or truncating away the page, complain at the end of XLOG replay. Since this fixes the known failure mode for full_page_writes = off, revert my previous band-aid patch that disabled that GUC variable.
2006-04-14Repair a low-probability race condition identified by Qingqing Zhou.Tom Lane
If a process abandons a wait in LockBufferForCleanup (in practice, only happens if someone cancels a VACUUM) just before someone else sends it a signal indicating the buffer is available, it was possible for the wakeup to remain in the process' semaphore, causing misbehavior next time the process waited for an lmgr lock. Rather than try to prevent the race condition directly, it seems best to make the lock manager robust against leftover wakeups, by having it repeat waiting on the semaphore if the lock has not actually been granted or denied yet.
