MaxStandbyDelay. Use the GUC units mechanism for the value, and choose more
appropriate timestamp functions for performing tests with it. Make the
ps_activity manipulation in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs have
behavior similar to ps_activity code elsewhere, notably not updating the
display when update_process_title is off and not truncating the display
contents at an arbitrarily-chosen length. Improve the docs to be explicit
about what MaxStandbyDelay actually measures, viz the difference between
primary and standby servers' clocks, and the possible hazards if their clocks
aren't in sync.

It appears that gmake gets confused if postgres.sgml is not present in
the working directory, and instantiates some default rule or other that
would let postgres.sgml be built from postgres.xml. I haven't been able
to track down exactly where that's coming from, but the problem can be
dodged by specifying srcdir explicitly in the rule for postgres.xml.
Per report from Vladimir Kokovic.

The previous coding had it in a pipe, which on most shells won't report
the error. Per experimentation with a bug report from Vladimir Kokovic.
This doesn't actually fix his problem, but it does explain why make
didn't report that there was a problem.

possible to set most of the SHM kernel parameters without a reboot.
Also, reorder the paragraph to explain the modern configuration method first.
There are probably not too many people who still care about how to do it on
OS X 10.3 or older.

to perform a backup without archive_mode being enabled. This gives up some
user-error protection in order to improve usefulness for streaming-replication
scenarios. Per discussion.

confusion with streaming-replication settings. Also, change its default
value to "off", because of concern about executing new and poorly-tested
code during ordinary non-replicating operation. Per discussion.
In passing do some minor editing of related documentation.

There is probably a better answer out there somewhere, but
we need something now so we can build beta releases.

rather than returning NULL for some-but-not-all failures as they used to.
Remove now-redundant tests for NULL from call sites.
We had to do something about this because many call sites were failing to
check for NULL; and changing it like this seems a lot more useful and
mistake-proof than adding checks to the call sites without them.

archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from
other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in
the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby
to enable/disable hot standby.
Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index
without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of
the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a
hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections,
max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings
change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and
update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in
the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint
records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the
standby until the first checkpoint after the change.
Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to
the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches
changed it to 0x9003.

problems with non-deterministic functions.

Normal superuser processes are allowed to connect even when the database
system is shutting down, or when fewer than superuser_reserved_connection
slots remain. This is intended to make sure an administrator can log in
and troubleshoot, so don't extend these same courtesies to users connecting
for replication.

Two of these were pointed out by Erik Rijkers; the rest I found.

than during define_custom_variable(). This entails rejecting an ALTER
command if the target variable doesn't have a known (non-placeholder)
definition, unless the calling user is superuser. When the variable *is*
known, we can correctly apply the rule that only superusers can issue ALTER
for SUSET parameters. This allows define_custom_variable to apply ALTER's
values for SUSET parameters at module load time, secure in the knowledge
that only a superuser could have set the ALTER value. This change fixes a
longstanding gotcha in the usage of SUSET-level custom parameters; which
is a good thing to fix now that plpgsql defines such a parameter.

with database = replication. The previous coding would allow them to match
ordinary records too, but that seems like a recipe for security breaches.
Improve the messages associated with no-such-pg_hba.conf entry to report
replication connections as such, since that's now a critical aspect of
whether the connection matches. Make some cursory improvements in the related
documentation, too.
|
|
Also, make the name of the GUC and the name of the backing variable match.
Alnong the way, clean up a couple of slight typographical errors in the
related docs.

In 8.4 and prior, WAL-logging could potentially be skipped whenever
archive_mode=off. With streaming replication, this is now true only
if max_wal_senders=0.

The logic for determining whether to materialize has been significantly
overhauled for 9.0. In case there should be any doubt about whether
materialization is a win in any particular case, this should provide a
convenient way of seeing what happens without it; but even with enable_material
turned off, we still materialize in cases where it is required for
correctness.
Thanks to Tom Lane for the review.

doesn't take into account how far the WAL senders are. This way a hung
WAL sender doesn't prevent old WAL segments from being recycled/removed
in the primary, ultimately causing the disk to fill up. Instead add
standby_keep_segments setting to control how many old WAL segments are
kept in the primary. This also makes it more reliable to use streaming
replication without WAL archiving, assuming that you set
standby_keep_segments high enough.

At present, killing the startup process does not release any locks it holds,
so we must wait to stop the startup and walreceiver processes until all
read-only backends have exited. Without this patch, the startup and
walreceiver processes never exit, so the server gets permanently stuck in
a half-shutdown state.

also makes the parsing a little bit stricter, rejecting garbage after the

isn't currently correct in backends during recovery, so the filename
returned was wrong.
