Backpatch to 9.3
Greg Smith
|
|
New checks include input, month/day/time internal adjustments, addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and negation. Also adjust docs to
correctly specify interval size in bytes.

This doesn't work for prepared queries, but it's not too easy to get
the information in that case and there's some debate as to exactly
what the right thing to measure is, so just do this for now.
Andreas Karlsson, with slight doc changes by me.

This was a notable omission from the json functions added in 9.3 and
there have been numerous complaints about its absence.

Broken by the huge_tlb_pages patch.
Vik Fearing.
|
|
This patch adds an option, huge_tlb_pages, which allows requesting the
shared memory segment to be allocated using huge pages, by using the
MAP_HUGETLB flag in mmap(). This can improve performance.
The default is 'try', which means that we will attempt using huge pages,
and fall back to non-huge pages if it doesn't work. Currently, only Linux
has MAP_HUGETLB. On other platforms, the default 'try' behaves the same as
'off'.
In the passing, don't try to round the mmap() size to a multiple of
pagesize. mmap() doesn't require that, and there's no particular reason for
PostgreSQL to do that either. When using MAP_HUGETLB, however, round the
request size up to nearest 2MB boundary. This is to work around a bug in
some Linux kernel versions, but also to avoid wasting memory, because the
kernel will round the size up anyway.
Many people were involved in writing this patch, including Christian Kruse,

json_build_array() and json_build_object allow for the construction of
arbitrarily complex json trees. json_object() turns a one or two
dimensional array, or two separate arrays, into a json_object of
name/value pairs, similarly to the hstore() function.
json_object_agg() aggregates its two arguments into a single json object
as name value pairs.
Catalog version bumped.

This change allows us to eliminate the previous limit on stored query
length, and it makes the shared-memory hash table very much smaller,
allowing more statements to be tracked. (The default value of
pg_stat_statements.max is therefore increased from 1000 to 5000.)
In typical scenarios, the hash table can be large enough to hold all the
statements commonly issued by an application, so that there is little
"churn" in the set of tracked statements, and thus little need to do I/O
to the file.
To further reduce the need for I/O to the query-texts file, add a way
to retrieve all the columns of the pg_stat_statements view except for
the query text column. This is probably not of much interest for human
use but it could be exploited by programs, which will prefer using the
queryid anyway.
Ordinarily, we'd need to bump the extension version number for the latter
change. But since we already advanced pg_stat_statements' version number
from 1.1 to 1.2 in the 9.4 development cycle, it seems all right to just
redefine what 1.2 means.

This makes it possible to store lwlocks as part of some other data
structure in the main shared memory segment, or in a dynamic shared
memory segment. There is still a main LWLock array and this patch does
not move anything out of it, but it provides necessary infrastructure
for doing that in the future.
This change is likely to increase the size of LWLockPadded on some
platforms, especially 32-bit platforms where it was previously only
16 bytes.

Fix integer overflow issue noted by Magnus Hagander, as well as a bunch
of other infelicities in commit ee1e5662d8d8330726eaef7d3110cb7add24d058
and its unreasonably large number of followups.

From the Department of Nitpicking, be consistent with other escaping
and use 'E' instead of 'e' to escape the string in the example docs
for GET DISAGNOSTICS stack = PG_CONTEXT.
Noticed by Department Chief Magnus Hagander.

Phrase the sentence better. Also, spell "i.e." rather than "ie."

Mention that CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING DEFAULTS creates a link between
the original and new tables if a default function modifies the database,
like nextval().
|
|
This allows ending recovery as a consistent state has been reached. Without
this, there was no easy way to e.g restore an online backup, without
replaying any extra WAL after the backup ended.

Add the ability to specify the objects to move by who those objects are
owned by (as relowner) and change ALL to mean ALL objects. This
makes the command always operate against a well-defined set of objects
and not have the objects-to-be-moved based on the role of the user
running the command.
Per discussion with Simon and Tom.

There was a bug in the psql's meta command \conninfo. When the
IP address was specified in the hostaddr and psql used it to create
a connection (i.e., psql -d "hostaddr=xxx"), \conninfo could not
display that address. This is because \conninfo got the connection
information only from PQhost() which could not return hostaddr.
This patch adds PQhostaddr(), and changes \conninfo so that it
can display not only the host name that PQhost() returns but also
the IP address which PQhostaddr() returns.
The bug has existed since 9.1 where \conninfo was introduced.
But it's too late to add new libpq function into the released versions,
so no backpatch.

Unlike our other array functions, this considers the total number of
elements across all dimensions, and returns 0 rather than NULL when the
array has no elements. But it seems that both of those behaviors are
almost universally disliked, so hopefully that's OK.

krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do
Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method
(which is still fully supported).
libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only
gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication
is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all
in the backend.

Tablespaces have a few options which can be set on them to give PG hints
as to how the tablespace behaves (perhaps it's faster for sequential
scans, or better able to handle random access, etc). These options were
only available through the ALTER TABLESPACE command.
This adds the ability to set these options at CREATE TABLESPACE time,
removing the need to do both a CREATE TABLESPACE and ALTER TABLESPACE to
get the correct options set on the tablespace.
Vik Fearing, reviewed by Michael Paquier.

This adds a 'MOVE' sub-command to ALTER TABLESPACE which allows moving sets of
objects from one tablespace to another. This can be extremely handy and avoids
a lot of error-prone scripting. ALTER TABLESPACE ... MOVE will only move
objects the user owns, will notify the user if no objects were found, and can
be used to move ALL objects or specific types of objects (TABLES, INDEXES, or
MATERIALIZED VIEWS).

This function provides a way of generating version 4 (pseudorandom) UUIDs
based on pgcrypto's PRNG. The main reason for doing this is that the
OSSP UUID library depended on by contrib/uuid-ossp is becoming more and
more of a porting headache, so we need an alternative for people who can't
install that. A nice side benefit though is that this implementation is
noticeably faster than uuid-ossp's uuid_generate_v4() function.

The + modifier of \do didn't use to do anything, but now it adds an oprcode
column. This is useful both as an additional form of documentation of what
the operator does, and to save a step when finding out properties of the
underlying function.

Primarily, explain where to find the system-wide psqlrc file, per recent
gripe from John Sutton. Do some general wordsmithing and improve the
markup, too.
Also adjust psqlrc.sample so its comments about file location are somewhat
trustworthy. (Not sure why we bother with this file when it's empty,
but whatever.)
Back-patch to 9.2 where the startup file naming scheme was last changed.

We haven't wanted to do this in the past on the grounds that in rare
cases the original xmin value will be needed for forensic purposes, but
commit 37484ad2aacef5ec794f4dd3d5cf814475180a78 removes that objection,
so now we can.
Per extensive discussion, among many people, on pgsql-hackers.

Some recent patches seem not to have grasped the concept that the catalogs
are described in alphabetical order.
|

Commit 37484ad2aacef5ec794f4dd3d5cf814475180a78 invalidated a good
chunk of documentation, so patch it up to reflect the new state of
play. Along the way, patch remaining documentation references to
FrozenXID to say instead FrozenTransactionId, so that they match the
way we actually spell it in the code.

This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set
aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in
SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(),
percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the
spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that
can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data.
Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting
process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the
support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API
function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of
the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the
immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to
install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that
infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up.
In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic
aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER
additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by
allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT.
It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types
but not these.
