2001-02-22Clean up index/btree comments/macros, as approved.Bruce Momjian
2001-02-15Although we can't support out-of-line TOAST storage in indexes (yet),Tom Lane
compressed storage works perfectly well. Might as well have a coherent strategy for applying it, rather than the haphazard store-what-you-get approach that was in the code before. The strategy I've set up here is to attempt compression of any compressible index value exceeding BLCKSZ/16, or about 500 bytes by default.

2000-12-27Fix portability problems recently exposed by regression tests on Alphas.Tom Lane
1. Distinguish cases where a Datum representing a tuple datatype is an OID from cases where it is a pointer to TupleTableSlot, and make sure we use the right typlen in each case. 2. Make fetchatt() and related code support 8-byte by-value datatypes on machines where Datum is 8 bytes. Centralize knowledge of the available by-value datatype sizes in two macros in tupmacs.h, so that this will be easier if we ever have to do it again.
2000-12-07Silence compiler warning.Tom Lane
2000-12-01Make tuple receive/print routines TOAST-aware. Formerly, printtup wouldTom Lane
leak memory when printing a toasted attribute, and printtup_internal didn't work at all...
2000-11-30Remove VARLENA_FIXED_SIZE hack, which is irreversibly broken now thatTom Lane
both MULTIBYTE and TOAST prevent char(n) from being truly fixed-size. Simplify and speed up fastgetattr() and index_getattr() macros by eliminating special cases for attnum=1. It's just as fast to handle the first attribute by presetting its attcacheoff to zero; so do that instead when loading the tupledesc in relcache.c.
2000-11-16Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count isTom Lane
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
2000-11-16Make pgsql compile on FreeBSD-alpha.Bruce Momjian
Context diff this time. Remove -m486 compile args for FreeBSD-i386, compile -O2 on i386. Compile with only -O on alpha for codegen safety. Make the port use the TEST_AND_SET for alpha and i386 on FreeBSD. Fix a lot of bogus string formats for outputting pointers (cast to int and %u/%x replaced with no cast and %p), and 'Size'(size_t) are now cast to 'unsigned long' and output with %lu/ Remove an unused variable.

2000-11-14Minor cleanup of tableOid-related coding.Tom Lane
2000-11-08Make DROP TABLE rollback-able: postpone physical file delete until commit.Tom Lane
(WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock throughout the statement.
2000-10-05Add proofreader's changes to docs.Bruce Momjian
Fix misspelling of disbursion to dispersion.
2000-09-23Clean up some ugly coding (hardwired constants) in index_formtuple.Tom Lane
2000-08-31Fix relative path references so that make knowns which dependencies referPeter Eisentraut

WARNING: This is actually broken - we have self-deadlocks due to concurrent changes in buffer management. Vadim and me are working on it. Jan

2000-05-30Third round of fmgr updates: eliminate calls using fmgr() andTom Lane
fmgr_faddr() in favor of new-style calls. Lots of cleanup of sloppy casts to use XXXGetDatum and DatumGetXXX ...
2000-05-30Remove unused include files. Do not touch /port or includes used by defines.Bruce Momjian
2000-05-29Generated header files parse.h and fmgroids.h are now copied intoTom Lane
the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere. Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.
2000-05-28First round of changes for new fmgr interface. fmgr itself and theTom Lane
key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle. An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions). NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

2000-05-22I am attempting to integrate postgres (v 7.0) with an open sourceBruce Momjian
project I am working on (Recall - a distributed, fault-tolerant, replicated, storage framework @ http://www.fault-tolerant.org). Recall is written in C++. I need to include the postgres headers and there are some problems when including the headers w/C++. Attached is a patch generated from postgres/src that fixes my problems. I was hoping to get this into the main source. It's very small (2k) and 3 files are changed: backend/utils/fmgr/fmgr.c, backend/utils/Gen_fmgrtab.sh.in, and include/access/tupdesc.h. In C++, you get a multiply defined symbol because the variable (FmgrInfo *fmgr_pl_finfo) is defined in the header (the patch moves it to the .c file). The other problem in tupdesc.h is the use of typeid is a problem in c++ (I renamed it to oidtypeid). Thanks, Neal Norwitz
2000-04-12Ye-old pgindent run. Same 4-space tabs.Bruce Momjian
2000-01-31Fix problems seen in parallel regress tests when SI buffer overruns (causingTom Lane
syscache and relcache flushes). Relcache entry rebuild now preserves original tupledesc, rewrite rules, and triggers if possible, so that pointers to these things remain valid --- if these things change while relcache entry has positive refcount, we elog(ERROR) to avoid later crash. Arrange for xact-local rels to be rebuilt when an SI inval message is seen for them, so that they are updated by CommandCounterIncrement the same as regular rels. (This is useful because of Hiroshi's recent changes to process our own SI messages at CommandCounterIncrement time.) This allows simplification of some routines that previously hacked around the lack of an automatic update. catcache now keeps its own copy of tupledesc for its relation, rather than depending on the relcache's copy; this avoids needing to reinitialize catcache during a cache flush, which saves some cycles and eliminates nasty circularity problems that occur if a cache flush happens while trying to initialize a catcache. Eliminate a number of permanent memory leaks that used to happen during catcache or relcache flush; not least of which was that catcache never freed any cached tuples! (Rule parsetree storage is still leaked, however; will fix that separately.) Nothing done yet about code that uses tuples retrieved by SearchSysCache for longer than is safe.

Fewer calls to nameout. Better use of RelationGetRelationName.
1999-10-23Look Ma, no MAX_PARSE_BUFFER! (At least not in the backend.Tom Lane
pg_dump and interfaces/odbc still need some work.)
1999-10-03Reimplement parsing and storage of default expressions and constraintTom Lane
expressions in CREATE TABLE. There is no longer an emasculated expression syntax for these things; it's full a_expr for constraints, and b_expr for defaults (unfortunately the fact that NOT NULL is a part of the column constraint syntax causes a shift/reduce conflict if you try a_expr. Oh well --- at least parenthesized boolean expressions work now). Also, stored expression for a column default is not pre-coerced to the column type; we rely on transformInsertStatement to do that when the default is actually used. This means "f1 datetime default 'now'" behaves the way people usually expect it to. BTW, all the support code is now there to implement ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT and ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a default value. I didn't actually teach ALTER TABLE to call it, but it wouldn't be much work.

1999-06-12Reversed out Massimo patch.Bruce Momjian
1999-06-12I don't like last minute patches before the final freeze, but I believe thatBruce Momjian
this one could be useful for people experiencing out-of-memory crashes while executing queries which retrieve or use a very large number of tuples. The problem happens when storage is allocated for functions results used in a large query, for example: select upper(name) from big_table; select big_table.array[1] from big_table; select count(upper(name)) from big_table; This patch is a dirty hack that fixes the out-of-memory problem for the most common cases, like the above ones. It is not the final solution for the problem but it can work for some people, so I'm posting it. The patch should be safe because all changes are under #ifdef. Furthermore the feature can be enabled or disabled at runtime by the `free_tuple_memory' options in the pg_options file. The option is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled at runtime to have any effect. To enable the patch add the follwing line to Makefile.custom: CUSTOM_COPT += -DFREE_TUPLE_MEMORY To enable the option at runtime add the following line to pg_option: free_tuple_memory=1 Massimo
