2005-04-11Fix interaction between materializing holdable cursors and firingTom Lane
deferred triggers: either one can create more work for the other, so we have to loop till it's all gone. Per example from andrew@supernews. Add a regression test to help spot trouble in this area in future.
2005-04-11PersistHoldablePortal must establish the correct value for ActiveSnapshotTom Lane
while completing execution of the cursor's query. Otherwise we get wrong answers or even crashes from non-volatile functions called by the query. Per report from andrew@supernews.
2005-04-10Make constant-folding produce sane output for COALESCE(NULL,NULL),Tom Lane
that is a plain NULL and not a COALESCE with no inputs. Fixes crash reported by Michael Williamson.
2005-04-10SQL functions returning pass-by-reference types were copying the resultsTom Lane
into the wrong memory context, resulting in a query-lifespan memory leak. Bug is new in 8.0, I believe. Per report from Rae Stiening.

2005-04-07Update and copy-edit release notes for 8.0.2.Tom Lane
2005-04-04In cost_mergejoin, the early-exit effect should not apply to theTom Lane
outer side of an outer join. Per andrew@supernews.
2005-04-03Put back code mistakenly removed from copy of postmaster'sTom Lane
daemonize routine, namely forcing stdin/stdout/stderr to point to /dev/null. Per Karl Denninger.

2005-04-02Update release notes for 8.0.2.Bruce Momjian
2005-04-01Second try at making examine_variable and friends behave sanely inTom Lane
cases with binary-compatible relabeling. My first try was implicitly assuming that all operators scalarineqsel is used for have binary- compatible datatypes on both sides ... which is very wrong of course. Per report from Michael Fuhr.
2005-04-01Backpatch FAQ's to 8.0.X.Bruce Momjian
2005-04-01Fix wrong week returnded by date_trunc('week') for early dates inBruce Momjian
January --- would return wrong year for 2005-01-01 and 2006-01-01. per report from Robert Creager. Backpatch to 8.0.X.
2005-03-31Flush any remaining statistics counts out to the collector at processTom Lane
exit. Without this, operations triggered during backend exit (such as temp table deletions) won't be counted ... which given heavy usage of temp tables can lead to pg_autovacuum falling way behind on the need to vacuum pg_class and pg_attribute. Per reports from Steve Crawford and others.

2005-03-31Fix various comparing functionsTeodor Sigaev
2005-03-30Document that the "-P" option to pg_autovacuum is insecure on manyNeil Conway
platforms, and suggest using ~/.pgpass instead.
2005-03-26Fix a pair of related issues with estimation of inequalities that involveTom Lane
binary-compatible relabeling of one or both operands. examine_variable should avoid stripping RelabelType from non-variable expressions, so that they will continue to have the correct type; and convert_to_scalar should just use that type and ignore the other input type. This isn't perfect but it beats failing entirely. Per example from Michael Fuhr.

2005-03-26Add Windows-specific variant comparison file.Tom Lane
2005-03-26Add another ORDER BY to rules test to eliminate platform-specificTom Lane
output ordering.
2005-03-26Prevent to_char(interval) from dumping core on month-related formatsTom Lane
when a zero-month interval is given. Per discussion with Karel. Also, some desultory const-labeling of constant tables. More could be done along that line.
2005-03-25Remove lazy_update_relstats; go back to having VACUUM just record theTom Lane
actual number of unremoved tuples as pg_class.reltuples. The idea of trying to estimate a steady state condition still seems attractive, but this particular implementation crashed and burned ...
2005-03-25Have libpgport link before libpq so that PG client applications are moreBruce Momjian
immunte to changes in libpq's usage of pgport between major versions. Backpatch to 8.0.X.
2005-03-25Fix two bugs in change_owner_recurse_to_sequences: it was grabbing anTom Lane
overly strong lock on pg_depend, and it wasn't closing the rel when done. The latter bug was masked by the ResourceOwner code, which is something that should be changed.
2005-03-25Update and copy-edit description of privileges.Tom Lane
2005-03-25Add missing min/max parameters to DefineCustomIntVariable() andTom Lane
DefineCustomRealVariable(). Thomas Hallgren
2005-03-25Fix to_date to behave reasonably when CC and YY fields are both used.Tom Lane
Karel Zak
2005-03-25Kerberos fixes from Magnus Hagander --- in theory Kerberos 5 authTom Lane
should work on Windows now. Also, rename set_noblock to pg_set_noblock; since it is included in libpq, the former name polluted application namespace.
2005-03-24Revert ill-conceived change of libpq linkage --- breaks ecpg.Tom Lane
2005-03-24array_map can't use the fn_extra field of the provided fcinfo struct asTom Lane
its private storage, because that belongs to the function that it is supposed to call. Per report from Ezequiel Tolnay.
2005-03-24Force PG client applications to link to non-shared libpgport beforeBruce Momjian
linking to libpq. This insulates applications from changes in libpq's usage of libpgport functions. Backpatched to 8.0.X.
2005-03-24Tweak planner to use a minimum size estimate of 10 pages for aTom Lane
never-yet-vacuumed relation. This restores the pre-8.0 behavior of avoiding seqscans during initial data loading, while still allowing reasonable optimization after a table has been vacuumed. Several regression test cases revert to 7.4-like behavior, which is probably a good sign. Per gripes from Keith Browne and others.
2005-03-24Fix python regression testing script to bail out early if languageTom Lane
creation fails ... no point in running the tests.
2005-03-24Adjust plpython to convert \r\n and \r to \n in Python scripts,Tom Lane
per recent discussion concluding that this is the Right Thing. Add regression test check for this behavior. Michael Fuhr
2005-03-24Change Win32 O_SYNC method to O_DSYNC because that is what the methodBruce Momjian
currently does. This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because we perfer o_datasync to fsync. Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is what is used for fsync on Win32. Backpatch to 8.0.X.
2005-03-24Add missing error checking in readdir() loops.Tom Lane
2005-03-23Add note about risks involved in replaying CREATE TABLESPACE commandsTom Lane
from WAL. A couple other grammatical improvements too.
2005-03-23Previous "64-bit fix" for intagg didn't actually work. This is alreadyTom Lane
fixed properly in CVS tip, but we need a band-aid for back branches. Per report from Ron Mayer.
2005-03-23WAL must log CREATE and DROP DATABASE operations *without* using anyTom Lane
explicit paths, so that the log can be replayed in a data directory with a different absolute path than the original had. To avoid forcing initdb in the 8.0 branch, continue to accept the old WAL log record types; they will never again be generated however, and the code can be dropped after the next forced initdb. Per report from Oleg Bartunov. We still need to think about what it really means to WAL-log CREATE TABLESPACE commands: we more or less have to put the absolute path into those, but how to replay in a different context??
2005-03-21Fix quote_ident to use quote_identifier rather than its own, not quiteTom Lane
up-to-speed logic; in particular this will cause it to quote names that match keywords. Remove unnecessary multibyte cruft from quote_literal (all backend-internal encodings are 8-bit-safe).
2005-03-18Put 'dump complete' message in the right place, so it comes out whereTom Lane
it's supposed to when --file option is used.
2005-03-18Need to reset local buffer pin counts, not only shared buffer pins,Tom Lane
before we attempt any file deletions in ShutdownPostgres. Per Tatsuo.
2005-03-18Added patch by Christof Petig <christof@petig-baender.de> to work around gcc ↵Michael Meskes
bug on powerpc and amd64.
2005-03-18Need to release buffer pins before attempting to drop files duringTom Lane
backend exit. Per report from Bruce.
2005-03-18Treat EPERM as a non-error case when checking to see if old postmasterTom Lane
is still alive. This improves our odds of not getting fooled by an unrelated process when checking a stale lock file. Other checks already in place, plus one newly added in checkDataDir(), ensure that we cannot attempt to usurp the place of a postmaster belonging to a different userid, so there is no need to error out. Add comments indicating the importance of these other checks.
2005-03-17Backpatch to 8.0.X, already in HEAD:Bruce Momjian
Allow Win32 to support the O_SYNC open flag as an wal_sync_method method.
