'recycled log files' and 'removed log files' messages from DEBUG1 to
DEBUG2, replacing them with a count of files added/removed/recycled in
the checkpoint end message, as per suggestion from Simon Riggs.

pins at end of transaction, and reduce AtEOXact_Buffers to an Assert
cross-check that this was done correctly. When not USE_ASSERT_CHECKING,
AtEOXact_Buffers is a complete no-op. This gets rid of an O(NBuffers)
bottleneck during transaction commit/abort, which recent testing has shown
becomes significant above a few tens of thousands of shared buffers.

running contains VACUUM or a similar command that will internally start
and commit transactions. In such a case, the original caller values of
CurrentMemoryContext and CurrentResourceOwner will point to objects that
will be destroyed by the internal commit. We must restore these pointers
to point to the newly-manufactured transaction context and resource owner,
rather than possibly pointing to deleted memory.
Also tweak xact.c so that AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction
forcibly restore a sane value for CurrentResourceOwner, much as they
have always done for CurrentMemoryContext. I'm not certain this is
necessary but I'm feeling paranoid today.
Responds to Sean Chittenden's bug report of 4-Oct.

subtransactions. Trivial subxacts (such as a plpgsql exception block
containing no database access) now demonstrably leak zero bytes.

pg_subtrans --- what we need is the oldest xmin of any snapshot in use
in the current top transaction. Introduce a new variable TransactionXmin
to play this role. Fixes intermittent regression failure reported by
Neil Conway.

as per recent discussions. Invent SubTransactionIds that are managed like
CommandIds (ie, counter is reset at start of each top transaction), and
use these instead of TransactionIds to keep track of subtransaction status
in those modules that need it. This means that a subtransaction does not
need an XID unless it actually inserts/modifies rows in the database.
Accordingly, don't assign it an XID nor take a lock on the XID until it
tries to do that. This saves a lot of overhead for subtransactions that
are only used for error recovery (eg plpgsql exceptions). Also, arrange
to release a subtransaction's XID lock as soon as the subtransaction
exits, in both the commit and abort cases. This avoids holding many
unique locks after a long series of subtransactions. The price is some
additional overhead in XactLockTableWait, but that seems acceptable.
Finally, restructure the state machine in xact.c to have a more orthogonal
set of states for subtransactions.

mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than
using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh
snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE
functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested
regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so
the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.)
As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the
same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any
action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly
nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.

rather than when returning to the idle loop. This makes no particular
difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference
for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before
the calling function is allowed to proceed. This responds to numerous
complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and
appears to be required by the SQL99 spec.
Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the
pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a
bit of space.

Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory
in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink. This eliminates the open
problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts
to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace. It also makes for a
significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.

a more tolerable limit on the number of subtransactions or deleted files
in COMMIT and ABORT records. Buy back the extra space by eliminating the
xl_xact_prev field, which isn't being used for anything and is rather
unlikely ever to be used for anything.
This does not force initdb, but you do need to do pg_resetxlog if you
want to upgrade an existing 8.0 installation without initdb.

nonintuitive order.

relcache entries. Also, change TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId()
so that if consulted during transaction abort, it will not say that
the aborted xact is still current. (It would be better to ensure that
it's never called at all during abort, but I'm not sure we can easily
guarantee that.) In combination, these fix a crash we have seen
occasionally during parallel regression tests of 8.0.

for every command executed within a transaction. For long transactions
this was a significant memory leak. Instead, we can delete a portal's
or subtransaction's ResourceOwner immediately, if we physically transfer
the information about its locks up to the parent owner. This does not
fully solve the leak problem; we need to do something about counting
multiple acquisitions of the same lock in order to fix it. But it's a
necessary step along the way.
|
|
updates are no longer WAL-logged nor even fsync'd; we do not need to,
since after a crash no old pg_subtrans data is needed again. We truncate
pg_subtrans to RecentGlobalXmin at each checkpoint. slru.c's API is
refactored a little bit to separate out the necessary decisions.
|

RecentXmin (== MyProc->xmin). This ensures that it will be safe to
truncate pg_subtrans at RecentGlobalXmin, which should largely eliminate
any fear of bloat. Along the way, eliminate SubTransXidsHaveCommonAncestor,
which isn't really needed and could not give a trustworthy result anyway
under the lookback restriction.
In an unrelated but nearby change, #ifdef out GetUndoRecPtr, which has
been dead code since 2001 and seems unlikely to ever be resurrected.

and doesn't process forward slashes in the same way as external
commands. Quoting the first argument to COPY does not convert forward
to backward slashes, but COPY does properly process quoted forward
slashes in the second argument.
Win32 COPY works with quoted forward slashes in the first argument only if the
current directory is the same as the directory of the first argument.

pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during
this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates.
Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into
'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions',
which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.

number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry,
and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during
TransactionIdIsInProgress. Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on
modules to get control at subxact start/end. (This is deliberately
not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably
need manual review anyway.) Add basic reference documentation for
SAVEPOINT and related commands. Minor other cleanups to check off some
of the open issues for subtransactions.

There are still some things that need refinement; in particular I fear
that the recognized set of error condition names probably has little in
common with what Oracle recognizes. But it's a start.

parts of Alvaro's recent mop-up patch, plus further work on large objects
