2003-06-26Add comment pointing out that XLByteToPrevSeg macro is not broken.Tom Lane
2003-06-22Revise hash join and hash aggregation code to use the same datatype-Tom Lane
specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing. The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.
2003-06-15Replace cryptic 'Unknown kind of return type' messages with somethingTom Lane
hopefully a little more useful.
2003-06-11This patch extracts page buffer pooling and the simpleBruce Momjian
least-recently-used strategy from clog.c into slru.c. It doesn't change any visible behaviour and passes all regression tests plus a TruncateCLOG test done manually. Apart from refactoring I made a little change to SlruRecentlyUsed, formerly ClogRecentlyUsed: It now skips incrementing lru_counts, if slotno is already the LRU slot, thus saving a few CPU cycles. To make this work, lru_counts are initialised to 1 in SimpleLruInit. SimpleLru will be used by pg_subtrans (part of the nested transactions project), so the main purpose of this patch is to avoid future code duplication. Manfred Koizar
2003-05-27Make debug_ GUC varables output DEBUG1 rather than LOG, and mention inBruce Momjian
docs that CLIENT/LOG_MIN_MESSAGES now controls debug_* output location. Doc changes included.
2003-05-26Make sure printtup() always sends the number of columns previouslyTom Lane
advertised in RowDescription message. Depending on the physical tuple's column count is not really correct, since according to heap_getattr() conventions the tuple may be short some columns, which will automatically get read as nulls. Problem has been latent since forever, but was only exposed by recent change to skip a projection step in SELECT * FROM...
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.
2003-05-15Indexing support for pattern matching operations via separate operatorPeter Eisentraut
class when lc_collate is not C.
2003-05-14Backend support for autocommit removed, per recent discussions. TheTom Lane
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit logic in libpq.
2003-05-13In RowDescription messages, report columns of domain datatypes as havingTom Lane
the type OID and typmod of the underlying base type. Per discussions a few weeks ago with Andreas Pflug and others. Note that this behavioral change affects both old- and new-protocol clients.
2003-05-12Add binary I/O routines for a bunch more datatypes. Still a few to go,Tom Lane
but that was enough tedium for one day. Along the way, move the few support routines for types xid and cid into a more logical place.
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.
2003-05-09Implement new-protocol binary I/O support in DataRow, Bind, and FunctionCallTom Lane
messages. Binary I/O is now up and working, but only for a small set of datatypes (integers, text, bytea).
2003-05-08Update 3.0 protocol support to match recent agreements about how toTom Lane
handle multiple 'formats' for data I/O. Restructure CommandDest and DestReceiver stuff one more time (it's finally starting to look a bit clean though). Code now matches latest 3.0 protocol document as far as message formats go --- but there is no support for binary I/O yet.
2003-05-06Restructure command destination handling so that we pass aroundTom Lane
DestReceiver pointers instead of just CommandDest values. The DestReceiver is made at the point where the destination is selected, rather than deep inside the executor. This cleans up the original kluge implementation of tstoreReceiver.c, and makes it easy to support retrieving results from utility statements inside portals. Thus, you can now do fun things like Bind and Execute a FETCH or EXPLAIN command, and it'll all work as expected (e.g., you can Describe the portal, or use Execute's count parameter to suspend the output partway through). Implementation involves stuffing the utility command's output into a Tuplestore, which would be kind of annoying for huge output sets, but should be quite acceptable for typical uses of utility commands.
2003-05-06Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane
the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
2003-05-05Extended query protocol: parse, bind, execute, describe FE/BE messages.Tom Lane
Only lightly tested as yet, since libpq doesn't know anything about 'em.
2003-05-03Handle clog structure in shared memory in exec() case, for Win32.Bruce Momjian
2003-05-02Back out last commit --- wrong patch.Bruce Momjian
2003-05-02Dump/read non-default GUC values for use by exec'ed backends, for Win32.Bruce Momjian
2003-05-02Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
2003-04-26Add transaction status field to ReadyForQuery messages, and make roomTom Lane
for tableID/columnID in RowDescription. (The latter isn't really implemented yet though --- the backend always sends zeroes, and libpq just throws away the data.)
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.)
2003-04-22Another round of protocol changes. Backend-to-frontend messages now allTom Lane
have length words. COPY OUT reimplemented per new protocol: it doesn't need \. anymore, thank goodness. COPY BINARY to/from frontend works, at least as far as the backend is concerned --- libpq's PQgetline API is not up to snuff, and will have to be replaced with something that is null-safe. libpq uses message length words for performance improvement (no cycles wasted rescanning long messages), but not yet for error recovery.
2003-04-18Make Win32 tests to match existing Cygwin tests, where appropriate.Bruce Momjian
2003-04-14Reorganize clog's error reporting so that PANIC on clog I/O error canTom Lane
be reduced to a plain ERROR. Should make it at least a little less painful to deal with data-corruption problems.
2003-03-27This patch implements holdable cursors, following the proposalBruce Momjian
(materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier. I've updated the documentation and the regression tests. Notes on the implementation: - I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK? - in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the tupleReceiver code, but it works... The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API -- Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function. In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time, the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent. - (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on -hackers. - (unrelated) Cleaned up some SGML markup in sql.sgml, copy.sgml Neil Conway
2003-03-24Modify keys_are_unique optimization to release buffer pins before itTom Lane
returns NULL. This avoids out-of-buffers failures during many-way indexscans, as in Shraibman's complaint of 21-Mar.
2003-03-23Adjust amrescan code so that it's allowed to call index_rescan with aTom Lane
NULL key pointer, indicating that the existing scan key should be reused. This behavior isn't used yet but will be needed for my planned fix to the keys_are_unique code.
2003-03-21Allow error query to start transaction in autocommit off mode.Bruce Momjian
2003-03-14Remove unneeded dash blocks around function start comments.Bruce Momjian
2003-03-10This patch fixes a bunch of spelling mistakes in comments throughout theTom Lane
PostgreSQL source code. Neil Conway
2003-03-04Reimplement free-space-map management as per recent discussions.Tom Lane
Adjustable threshold is gone in favor of keeping track of total requested page storage and doling out proportional fractions to each relation (with a minimum amount per relation, and some quantization of the results to avoid thrashing with small changes in page counts). Provide special- case code for indexes so as not to waste space storing useless page free space counts. Restructure internal data storage to be a flat array instead of list-of-chunks; this may cost a little more work in data copying when reorganizing, but allows binary search to be used during lookup_fsm_page_entry().
2003-02-24During VACUUM FULL, truncate off any deletable pages that are at theTom Lane
end of a btree index. This isn't super-effective, since we won't move nondeletable pages, but it's better than nothing. Also, improve stats displayed during VACUUM VERBOSE.
2003-02-23Remove no-longer-used FixBTree GUC variable.Tom Lane
2003-02-23btree page recycling can be done as soon as page's next-xact label isTom Lane
older than current Xmin; we don't have to wait till it's older than GlobalXmin.
2003-02-23Adjust btbulkdelete logic so that only one WAL record is issued whileTom Lane
deleting multiple index entries on a single index page. This makes for a very substantial reduction in the amount of WAL traffic during a large delete operation.
2003-02-23Improve coding of log_heap_clean() and heap_xlog_clean().Tom Lane
2003-02-23First cut at recycling space in btree indexes. Still some rough edgesTom Lane
to fix, but it seems to basically work...
2003-02-22More infrastructure for btree compaction project. Tree-traversal codeTom Lane
now knows what to do upon hitting a dead page (in theory anyway, it's untested...). Add a post-VACUUM-cleanup entry point for index AMs, to provide a place for dead-page scavenging to happen. Also, fix oversight that broke btpo_prev links in temporary indexes. initdb forced due to additions in pg_am.
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.
2003-02-13This trivial patch removes the usage of some old statistics code that noBruce Momjian
longer works -- IncrHeapAccessStat() didn't actually *do* anything anymore, so no reason to keep it around AFAICS. I also fixed a grammatical error in a comment. Neil Conway
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.
2003-01-10Read-only transactions, as defined in SQL.Peter Eisentraut
2003-01-08Fix for bug #866. 7.3 contains new logic for avoiding redundant calls toTom Lane
the index AM when we know we are fetching a unique row. However, this logic did not consider the possibility that it would be asked to fetch backwards. Also fix mark/restore to work correctly in this scenario.
2002-11-23This patch implements FOR EACH STATEMENT triggers, per my email toBruce Momjian
-hackers a couple days ago. Notes/caveats: - added regression tests for the new functionality, all regression tests pass on my machine - added pg_dump support - updated PL/PgSQL to support per-statement triggers; didn't look at the other procedural languages. - there's (even) more code duplication in trigger.c than there was previously. Any suggestions on how to refactor the ExecXXXTriggers() functions to reuse more code would be welcome -- I took a brief look at it, but couldn't see an easy way to do it (there are several subtly-different versions of the code in question) - updated the documentation. I also took the liberty of removing a big chunk of duplicated syntax documentation in the Programmer's Guide on triggers, and moving that information to the CREATE TRIGGER reference page. - I also included some spelling fixes and similar small cleanups I noticed while making the changes. If you'd like me to split those into a separate patch, let me know. Neil Conway
2002-11-18Put back error test for DECLARE CURSOR outside a transaction block ...Tom Lane
but do it correctly now.
2002-11-15Rename show_btree_build_stats to log_btree_build_statsBruce Momjian
2002-11-13Update xact.c comments for clarity.Bruce Momjian
2002-11-13Add new palloc0 call as merge of palloc and MemSet(0).Bruce Momjian
