The JSON parser is converted into a recursive descent parser, and
exposed for use by other modules such as extensions. The API provides
hooks for all the significant parser event such as the beginning and end
of objects and arrays, and providing functions to handle these hooks
allows for fairly simple construction of a wide variety of JSON
processing functions. A set of new basic processing functions and
operators is also added, which use this API, including operations to
extract array elements, object fields, get the length of arrays and the
set of keys of a field, deconstruct an object into a set of key/value
pairs, and create records from JSON objects and arrays of objects.
Catalog version bumped.

I changed this in commit fd15dba543247eb1ce879d22632b9fdb4c230831, but
missed the fact that the SGML documentation of the function specified
exactly what it did. Well, one of the two places where it's specified
documented that --- probably I looked at the other place and thought
nothing needed to be done. Sync the two places where encode() and
decode() are described.

The main change here is to call security_compute_create_name_raw()
rather than security_compute_create_raw(). This ups the minimum
requirement for libselinux from 2.0.99 to 2.1.10, but it looks
like most distributions will have picked that up before 9.3 is out.

This event takes place just before ddl_command_end, and is fired if and
only if at least one object has been dropped by the command. (For
instance, DROP TABLE IF EXISTS of a table that does not in fact exist
will not lead to such a trigger firing). Commands that drop multiple
objects (such as DROP SCHEMA or DROP OWNED BY) will cause a single event
to fire. Some firings might be surprising, such as
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN.
The trigger is fired after the drop has taken place, because that has
been deemed the safest design, to avoid exposing possibly-inconsistent
internal state (system catalogs as well as current transaction) to the
user function code. This means that careful tracking of object
identification is required during the object removal phase.
Like other currently existing events, there is support for tag
filtering.
To support the new event, add a new pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects()
set-returning function, which returns a set of rows comprising the
objects affected by the command. This is to be used within the user
function code, and is mostly modelled after the recently introduced
pg_identify_object() function.
Catalog version bumped due to the new function.

A new 'starttli' field was added to the response of BASE_BACKUP command.
Make pg_basebackup tolerate the case that it's missing, so that it still
works with older servers.
Add an explicit check for the server version, so that you get a nicer error
message if you try to use it with a pre-9.1 server.
The streaming protocol message format changed in 9.3, so -X stream still won't
work with pre-9.3 servers. I added a version check to ReceiveXLogStream()
earlier, but write that slightly differently, so that in 9.4, it will still
work with a 9.3 server. (In 9.4, the error message needs to be adjusted to
"9.3 or above", though). Also, if the version check fails, don't retry.

New infrastructure is added which creates a set number of workers
(threads on Windows, forked processes on Unix). Jobs are then
handed out to these workers by the master process as needed.
pg_restore is adjusted to use this new infrastructure in place of the
old setup which created a new worker for each step on the fly. Parallel
dumps acquire a snapshot clone in order to stay consistent, if
available.
The parallel option is selected by the -j / --jobs command line
parameter of pg_dump.

Doing that results in a broken index entry in PDF output. We had only
a few like that, which is probably why nobody noticed before.

One of the use-cases for postgres_fdw is extracting data from older PG
servers, so cross-version compatibility is important. Document what we
can do here, and further annotate some of the coding choices that create
compatibility constraints. In passing, remove one unnecessary
incompatibility with old servers, namely assuming that we didn't need to
quote the timezone name 'UTC'.

Checksums are set immediately prior to flush out of shared buffers
and checked when pages are read in again. Hint bit setting will
require full page write when block is dirtied, which causes various
infrastructure changes. Extensive comments, docs and README.
WARNING message thrown if checksum fails on non-all zeroes page;
ERROR thrown but can be disabled with ignore_checksum_failure = on.
Feature enabled by an initdb option, since transition from option off
to option on is long and complex and has not yet been implemented.
Default is not to use checksums.
Checksum used is WAL CRC-32 truncated to 16-bits.

Introduce pg_identify_object(oid,oid,int4), which is similar in spirit
to pg_describe_object but instead produces a row of machine-readable
information to uniquely identify the given object, without resorting to
OIDs or other internal representation. This is intended to be used in
the event trigger implementation, to report objects being operated on;
but it has usefulness of its own.
Catalog version bumped because of the new function.

The docs showed that early-January dates can be considered part of the
previous year for week-counting purposes, but failed to say explicitly
that late-December dates can also be considered part of the next year.
Fix that, and add a cross-reference to the "isoyear" field. Per bug

Remove use of PageSetTLI() from all page manipulation functions
and adjust README to indicate change in the way we make changes

This GUC allows limiting the time spent waiting to acquire any one
heavyweight lock.
In support of this, improve the recently-added timeout infrastructure
to permit efficiently enabling or disabling multiple timeouts at once.
That reduces the performance hit from turning on lock_timeout, though
it's still not zero.

Clarify the docs explaining what commit_delay does, and add a
recommendation about a useful value for it, namely half of the single-page
fsync time reported by pg_test_fsync. This is informed by testing of
the new-in-9.3 implementation of commit_delay; in prior versions it
was far harder to arrive at a useful setting.
In passing, do some wordsmithing and markup-fixing in the same general
area.
Also, change pg_test_fsync's default time-per-test from 2 seconds to 5.
The old value was about the minimum at which the results could be taken
seriously at all, and so seems a tad optimistic as a default.

There's still some discussion about exactly how postgres_fdw ought to
handle this case, but there seems no debate that we want to allow defaults
to be used for inserts into foreign tables. So remove the core-code
restrictions that prevented it.
While at it, get rid of the special grammar productions for CREATE FOREIGN
TABLE, and instead add explicit FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error checks for the
disallowed cases. This makes the grammar a shade smaller, and more
importantly results in much more intelligible error messages for
unsupported cases. It's also one less thing to fix if we ever start
supporting constraints on foreign tables.

Apparently I lost some of the edits I had done on this page for commit

This adds the following:
json_agg(anyrecord) -> json
to_json(any) -> json
hstore_to_json(hstore) -> json (also used as a cast)
hstore_to_json_loose(hstore) -> json
The last provides heuristic treatment of numbers and booleans.
Also, in json generation, if any non-builtin type has a cast to json,
that function is used instead of the type's output function.

This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates
on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates
against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for
improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic
functionality there now.

A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and
other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to
populate the table, references in queries refer to the
materialized data.
This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in
many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements.
It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates
with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining
what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even
be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of
references to underlying tables, but that requires the other
above-mentioned features to be working first.
Much of the documentation work by Robert Haas.

This includes backend "COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM '...'" syntax, and corresponding
psql \copy syntax. Like with reading/writing files, the backend version is
superuser-only, and in the psql version, the program is run in the client.
In the passing, the psql \copy STDIN/STDOUT syntax is subtly changed: if you
the stdin/stdout is quoted, it's now interpreted as a filename. For example,
"\copy foo from 'stdin'" now reads from a file called 'stdin', not from
standard input. Before this, there was no way to specify a filename called
stdin, stdout, pstdin or pstdout.
This creates a new function in pgport, wait_result_to_str(), which can
be used to convert the exit status of a process, as returned by wait(3),
to a human-readable string.

Like with pg_basebackup and pg_receivexlog, it's a bit strange to call the
option -d/--dbname, when in fact you cannot pass a database name in it.
Original patch by Amit Kapila, heavily modified by me.
|
|
You could already pass a database name just by passing it as the last
option, without -d. This is an alias for that, like the -d/--dbname option
in psql and many other client applications. For consistency.
|
|
Without this, there's no way to pass arbitrary libpq connection parameters
to these applications. It's a bit strange that the option is called
-d/--dbname, when in fact you can *not* pass a database name in it, but it's
consistent with other client applications where a connection string is also
passed using -d.
