2013-05-11Update CREATE FUNCTION documentation about argument names.Tom Lane
The 9.2 patch that added argument name support in SQL-language functions missed updating a parenthetical comment about that in the CREATE FUNCTION reference page. Noted by Erwin Brandstetter.

Document that post-upgrade steps are likely to be the same for all clusters with the same DDL/schemas; this should help automated upgrades.
2013-05-08Fix walsender failure at promotion.Heikki Linnakangas
If a standby server has a cascading standby server connected to it, it's possible that WAL has already been sent up to the next WAL page boundary, splitting a WAL record in the middle, when the first standby server is promoted. Don't throw an assertion failure or error in walsender if that happens. Also, fix a variant of the same bug in pg_receivexlog: if it had already received WAL on previous timeline up to a segment boundary, when the upstream standby server is promoted so that the timeline switch record falls on the previous segment, pg_receivexlog would miss the segment containing the timeline switch. To fix that, have walsender send the position of the timeline switch at end-of-streaming, in addition to the next timeline's ID. It was previously assumed that the switch happened exactly where the streaming stopped. Note: this is an incompatible change in the streaming protocol. You might get an error if you try to stream over timeline switches, if the client is running 9.3beta1 and the server is more recent. It should be fine after a reconnect, however. Reported by Fujii Masao.
2013-05-08Use the term "radix tree" instead of "suffix tree" for SP-GiST text opclass.Heikki Linnakangas
What we have implemented is a radix tree (or a radix trie or a patricia trie), but the docs and code comments incorrectly called it a "suffix tree". Alexander Korotkov

2013-05-07Stress that backup_label file is critical in the docs.Heikki Linnakangas
It is surprisingly common mistake to leave out backup_label file from a base backup. Say more explicitly that it must be included. Jeff Janes, with minor rewording by me.
2013-05-06Desultory copy-editing of the 9.3 release notes.Tom Lane
I had time for a quick review of the notes, so here are some fixes.
2013-05-06Move materialized views' is-populated status into their pg_class entries.Tom Lane
Previously this state was represented by whether the view's disk file had zero or nonzero size, which is problematic for numerous reasons, since it's breaking a fundamental assumption about heap storage. This was done to allow unlogged matviews to revert to unpopulated status after a crash despite our lack of any ability to update catalog entries post-crash. However, this poses enough risk of future problems that it seems better to not support unlogged matviews until we can find another way. Accordingly, revert that choice as well as a number of existing kluges forced by it in favor of creating a pg_class.relispopulated flag column.
2013-05-06Disallow unlogged materialized views.Tom Lane
The initial implementation of this feature was really unsupportable, because it's relying on the physical size of an on-disk file to carry the relation's populated/unpopulated state, which is at least a modularity violation and could have serious long-term consequences. We could say that an unlogged matview goes to empty on crash, but not everybody likes that definition, so let's just remove the feature for 9.3. We can add it back when we have a less klugy implementation. I left the grammar and tab-completion support for CREATE UNLOGGED MATERIALIZED VIEW in place, since it's harmless and allows delivering a more specific error message about the unsupported feature. I'm committing this separately to ease identification of what should be reverted when/if we are able to re-enable the feature.

2013-04-29Revert "pg_ctl: Add idempotent option"Peter Eisentraut
This reverts commit 87306184580c9c49717b00d48a2f9e717f21e0a8. The behavior in certain cases is still being debated, and it's too late to solve this before beta.
2013-04-29Attempt to fix error recovery in COPY BOTH mode.Robert Haas
Previously, libpq and the backend had opposite ideas about whether it was necessary for the client to send a CopyDone message after receiving an ErrorResponse, making it impossible to cleanly exit COPY BOTH mode. Fix libpq so that works correctly, adopting the backend's notion that an ErrorResponse kills the copy in both directions. Adjust receivelog.c to avoid a degradation in the quality of the resulting error messages. libpqwalreceiver.c is already doing the right thing, so no adjustment needed there. Add an explicit statement to the documentation explaining how this part of the protocol is supposed to work, in the hopes of avoiding future confusion in this area. Since the consequences of all this confusion are very limited, especially in the back-branches where no client ever attempts to exit COPY BOTH mode without closing the connection entirely, no back-patch.
