2004-02-11Commit the reasonably uncontroversial parts of J.R. Nield's PITR patch, toTom Lane
wit: Add a header record to each WAL segment file so that it can be reliably identified. Avoid splitting WAL records across segment files (this is not strictly necessary, but makes it simpler to incorporate the header records). Make WAL entries for file creation, deletion, and truncation (as foreseen but never implemented by Vadim). Also, add support for making XLOG_SEG_SIZE configurable at compile time, similarly to BLCKSZ. Fix a couple bugs I introduced in WAL replay during recent smgr API changes. initdb is forced due to changes in pg_control contents.
2004-02-10Restructure smgr API as per recent proposal. smgr no longer depends onTom Lane
the relcache, and so the notion of 'blind write' is gone. This should improve efficiency in bgwriter and background checkpoint processes. Internal restructuring in md.c to remove the not-very-useful array of MdfdVec objects --- might as well just use pointers. Also remove the long-dead 'persistent main memory' storage manager (mm.c), since it seems quite unlikely to ever get resurrected.
2004-01-26Ensure that close() and fclose() are checked for errors, at least inTom Lane
cases involving writes. Per recent discussion about the possibility of close-time failures on some filesystems. There is a TODO item for this, too.
2004-01-19Repair problem identified by Olivier Prenant: ALTER DATABASE SET search_pathTom Lane
should not be too eager to reject paths involving unknown schemas, since it can't really tell whether the schemas exist in the target database. (Also, when reading pg_dumpall output, it could be that the schemas don't exist yet, but eventually will.) ALTER USER SET has a similar issue. So, reduce the normal ERROR to a NOTICE when checking search_path values for these commands. Supporting this requires changing the API for GUC assign_hook functions, which causes the patch to touch a lot of places, but the changes are conceptually trivial.
2004-01-06Suppress compiler warning (xlog_outrec is unused if not WAL_DEBUG).Tom Lane
2004-01-06Make the 'wal_debug' GUC variable a boolean (rather than an integer), andNeil Conway
hide it behind #ifdef WAL_DEBUG blocks.

2003-12-14I posted some bufmgr cleanup a few weeks ago, but it conflicted withNeil Conway
some concurrent changes Jan was making to the bufmgr. Here's an updated version of the patch -- it should apply cleanly to CVS HEAD and passes the regression tests. This patch makes the following changes: - remove the UnlockAndReleaseBuffer() and UnlockAndWriteBuffer() macros, and replace uses of them with calls to the appropriate functions. - remove a bunch of #ifdef BMTRACE code: it is ugly & broken (i.e. it doesn't compile) - make BufferReplace() return a bool, not an int - cleanup some logic in bufmgr.c; should be functionality equivalent to the previous code, just cleaner now - remove the BM_PRIVATE flag as it is unused - improve a few comments, etc.

2003-07-21Error message editing in backend/access.Tom Lane
2003-07-17Repair boundary-case bug introduced by patch of two months ago thatTom Lane
fixed incorrect initial setting of StartUpID. The logic in XLogWrite() expects that Write->curridx is advanced to the next page as soon as LogwrtResult points to the end of the current page, but StartupXLOG() failed to make that happen when the old WAL ended exactly on a page boundary. Per trouble report from Hannu Krosing.
2003-06-26Add comment pointing out that XLByteToPrevSeg macro is not broken.Tom Lane
2003-05-22Repair sometimes-incorrect computation of StartUpID after a crash, perTom Lane
example from Rao Kumar. This is a very corner corner-case, requiring a minimum of three closely-spaced database crashes and an unlucky positioning of the second recovery's checkpoint record before you'd notice any problem. But the consequences are dire enough that it's a must-fix.
2003-05-10Adjust CreateCheckpoint so that buffer dumping activities and cleanup ofTom Lane
dead xlog segments are not considered part of a critical section. It is not necessary to force a database-wide panic if we get a failure in these operations. Per recent trouble reports.
2003-04-25In the continuing saga of FE/BE protocol revisions, add reporting ofTom Lane
initial values and runtime changes in selected parameters. This gets rid of the need for an initial 'select pg_client_encoding()' query in libpq, bringing us back to one message transmitted in each direction for a standard connection startup. To allow server version to be sent using the same GUC mechanism that handles other parameters, invent the concept of a never-settable GUC parameter: you can 'show server_version' but it's not settable by any GUC input source. Create 'lc_collate' and 'lc_ctype' never-settable parameters so that people can find out these settings without need for pg_controldata. (These side ideas were all discussed some time ago in pgsql-hackers, but not yet implemented.)
2003-04-18Make Win32 tests to match existing Cygwin tests, where appropriate.Bruce Momjian
2003-02-21Make btree index structure adjustments and WAL logging changes needed toTom Lane
support btree compaction, as per proposal of a few days ago. btree index pages no longer store parent links, instead they have a level indicator (counting up from zero for leaf pages). The FixBTree recovery logic is removed, and replaced by code that detects missing parent-level insertions during WAL replay. Also, generate appropriate WAL entries when updating btree metapage and when building a btree index from scratch. I believe btree indexes are now completely WAL-legal for the first time. initdb forced due to index and WAL changes.
2003-01-25Use stat(2) to probe for existing xlog segments in InstallXLogFileSegment,Tom Lane
rather than actually opening the files. This eliminates some corner cases where the file indeed exists but open() fails for another reason, such as being out of file descriptors. The net reliability gain is probably tiny, since xlog.c is full of other file open calls that will elog(PANIC) if they fail for any reason; but this specific failure mode has been observed in the field, so we may as well fix it.
2002-11-08This patch removes a bunch of superfluous #include directives: ifBruce Momjian
postgres.h or c.h includes a system header (such as stdio.h or stdlib.h), there's no need to specifically include it in any of the .c files in the backend. Neil Conway
2002-11-02Clean up a few fprintf(stderr)'s that should be elog's.Tom Lane
2002-10-07Change order of operations during XLogFlush so that we try to includeTom Lane
in our write/flush operation any WAL entries that got queued while we were waiting to get the WALWriteLock. This improves throughput when transactions are small enough that several can be committed per WAL write (ie, per disk revolution).
2002-09-26Ensure that before truncating CLOG, we force a checkpoint even if noTom Lane
recent WAL activity has occurred. Without this, it's possible that a later crash might leave tuples on disk with un-updated commit status bits.

2002-08-17Reverse out XLogDir/-X write-ahead log handling, per discussion.Bruce Momjian
Original patch from Thomas.
2002-08-06Restructure local-buffer handling per recent pghackers discussion.Tom Lane
The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations (unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance. Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL. Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.

2002-06-07The attached patch fixes a problem with InstallXLogFileSegment()'s useBruce Momjian
of link() under Cygwin: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-04/msg00072.php Note that it appears that BeOS and Netware also have the above or similar problem. I have only verified that PostgreSQL builds under Cygwin with this patch. Since I cannot reproduce the problem, I cannot verify that the proposed patch solves it. Nevertheless, both Barry Pederson and David P. Caldwell attest that this patch solves the problem. See the following for details: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-05/msg00043.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-05/msg00040.php Jason Tishler
2002-05-17Merge the last few variable.c configuration variables into the genericTom Lane
GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction. All per previous discussions in pghackers.
2002-05-09Make initdb print a message about which locale it is about to use.Peter Eisentraut
Re-add warning if the locale prevents LIKE-optimization. Done within initdb now.

2002-04-21Add fields in the control file to check for whether the backend wasThomas G. Lockhart
compiled for integer date/time storage and to check the length of storage for the locale fields in the same data structure. Slightly reword some of the error messages to be more accurate on possible recovery options (e.g. recompile *or* re-initdb). Bump version number on this file.
2002-04-03Locale support is on by default. The choice of locale is done in initdbPeter Eisentraut
and/or with GUC variables.
2002-03-15Repair two problems with WAL logging of sequence nextvalI() ops, asTom Lane
per recent pghackers discussion: force a new WAL record at first nextval after a checkpoint, and ensure that xlog is flushed to disk if a nextval record is the only thing emitted by a transaction.
2002-03-06Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
2002-03-02Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG isBruce Momjian
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REALLYFATAL => PANIC STOP => PANIC New INFO level the prints to client by default New LOG level the prints to server log by default Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG Remove debug_level GUC parameter elog() numbers now start at 10 Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog() Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster

2002-01-14Reduce severity of 'XLogFlush: request is not satisfied' error condition,Tom Lane
