2003-07-27elog mop-up: bring some straggling fprintf(stderr)'s into the elog world.Tom Lane
2003-07-22Error message editing in backend/bootstrap, /lib, /nodes, /port.Tom Lane
2003-07-15Tweak original coding so that we can determine the platform-specificTom Lane
shared_buffers and max_connections values to use before we run the bootstrap process. Without this, initdb would fail on platforms where the hardwired default values are too large. (We could get around that by making the hardwired defaults tiny, perhaps, but why slow down bootstrap by starving it for buffers...)
2003-05-29Ensure that in all flex lexers that are part of the backend, aTom Lane
yy_fatal_error() call results in elog(ERROR) not exit(). This was already fixed in the main lexer and plpgsql, but extend same technique to all the other dot-l files. Also, on review of the possible calls to yy_fatal_error(), it seems safe to use elog(ERROR) not elog(FATAL).
2003-05-28Fix things so that an error occuring during standalone-backend processingTom Lane
in initdb will result in exit(1), allowing the initdb script to realize that there's something wrong.
2003-05-28Replace functional-index facility with expressional indexes. Any columnTom Lane
of an index can now be a computed expression instead of a simple variable. Restrictions on expressions are the same as for predicates (only immutable functions, no sub-selects). This fixes problems recently introduced with inlining SQL functions, because the inlining transformation is applied to both expression trees so the planner can still match them up. Along the way, improve efficiency of handling index predicates (both predicates and index expressions are now cached by the relcache) and fix 7.3 oversight that didn't record dependencies of predicate expressions.
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.
2003-05-14Backend 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.
2003-05-08Pass shared memory address on command line to exec'ed backend.Bruce Momjian
Allow backends to attached to specified shared memory address.
2003-05-06Pass shared memory id and socket descriptor number on command line forBruce Momjian
fork/exec.
2003-05-06Rename internal variables DBName|dbName to dbname, for consistency.Bruce Momjian
2003-05-06Comment out some of the conditional tests until we have exec().Bruce Momjian
Reorder non-default variable loading until PGDATA is defined.
2003-05-03Cleanup patch for exec() handling.Bruce Momjian
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
2003-03-06Add code to dump contents of free space map into $PGDATA/global/pg_fsm.cacheTom Lane
at database shutdown, and then load it again at database startup. This preserves our hard-won knowledge of free space across restarts (given an orderly shutdown, that is).
2002-12-15Revise executor APIs so that all per-query state structure is built inTom Lane
a per-query memory context created by CreateExecutorState --- and destroyed by FreeExecutorState. This provides a final solution to the longstanding problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.
2002-12-13Phase 3 of read-only-plans project: ExecInitExpr now builds expressionTom Lane
execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting this property.
2002-11-14Rename server_min_messages to log_min_messages. Part of consolidationBruce Momjian
of log_ settings.
2002-11-11Code review for ON COMMIT patch. Make the actual on-commit action happenTom Lane
before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid sequence of WAL entries. Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when no longer needed. Use an enum instead of random macros. Editorialize on names used for routines and constants. Teach backend/nodes routines about new field in CreateTable struct. Add a regression test.
2002-11-09Add code to handle [ON COMMIT { PRESERVE ROWS | DELETE ROWS | DROP }]Bruce Momjian
for temp tables. Gavin Sherry
2002-11-04Remove no-longer-needed inclusion of bootstrap_tokens.h, per patchTom Lane
from Andreas.
2002-11-01Arrange to compile flex output files as inclusions into other filesTom Lane
(usually bison output files), not as standalone files. This hack works around flex's insistence on including <stdio.h> before we are able to include postgres.h; postgres.h will already be read before the compiler starts to read the flex output file. Needed for largefile support on some platforms.
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.
2002-09-25Remove ShutdownBufferPoolAccess exit callback, and do the work inTom Lane
ProcKill instead, where we still have a PGPROC with which to wait on LWLocks. This fixes 'can't wait without a PROC structure' failures occasionally seen during backend shutdown (I'm surprised they weren't more frequent, actually). Add an Assert() to LWLockAcquire to help catch any similar mistakes in future. Fix failure to update MyProcPid for standalone backends and pgstat processes.
2002-09-22Replace pg_attribute.attisinherited with attislocal and attinhcountTom Lane
columns, to allow more correct behavior in multiple-inheritance cases. Patch by Alvaro Herrera, review by Tom Lane.
2002-09-04pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-02Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
2002-08-30AUTOCOMMIT mode is now an available backend GUC variable; setting itTom Lane
to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before. I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning autocommit off. But it's a start. Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.
2002-08-17Reverse out XLogDir/-X write-ahead log handling, per discussion.Bruce Momjian
Original patch from Thomas.
2002-08-10This patch removes a lot of unused code related to assertions andBruce Momjian
error handling, and simplifies the code that remains. Apparently, the code that left Berkeley had a whole "error handling subsystem", which exceptions and whatnot. Since we don't use that anymore, there's no reason to keep it around. The regression tests pass with the patch applied. Unless anyone sees a problem, please apply. Neil Conway
2002-08-04Implement WAL log location control using "-X" or PGXLOG.Thomas G. Lockhart
2002-08-02When compiling with --enable-cassert, check for reference count leaksTom Lane
in the relcache. It's rather silly that we have reference count leak checks in bufmgr and in catcache, but not in relcache which will normally have many fewer entries. Chris K-L would have caught at least one bug in his recent DROP patch if he'd had this.
2002-08-02ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN works. Patch by Christopher Kings-Lynne,Tom Lane
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!) a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what to do here. Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
2002-07-30Since we're depending on %option noyywrap in the main scanner now,Tom Lane
we may as well use it in all our flex files. Make all the flex files have a consistent set of options.
2002-07-20oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian
bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
2002-07-12Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.Tom Lane
pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP; however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies. (Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

2002-05-21Remove global variable scanCommandId in favor of storing a command IDTom Lane
in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID. For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
2002-05-20Restructure indexscan API (index_beginscan, index_getnext) perTom Lane
yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
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.
2002-05-05Create an internal semaphore API that is not tied to SysV semaphores.Tom Lane
As proof of concept, provide an alternate implementation based on POSIX semaphores. Also push the SysV shared-memory implementation into a separate file so that it can be replaced conveniently.
2002-04-27Support toasting of shared system relations, and provide toast tables forTom Lane
pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long fields. Along the way, get rid of SharedSystemRelationNames list: shared rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.
2002-04-25Implement types regprocedure, regoper, regoperator, regclass, regtypeTom Lane
per pghackers discussion. Add some more typsanity tests, and clean up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for some built-in types). Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out patch.
2002-04-17Opclasses live in namespaces. I also took the opportunity to createTom Lane
an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
2002-04-09Functions live in namespaces. Qualified function names work, egTom Lane
SELECT schema1.func2(...). Aggregate names can be qualified at the syntactic level, but the qualification is ignored for the moment.
2002-04-01Attached is a patch which adds 2 missing semi-colons toBruce Momjian
bootstrap/bootparse.y, so that recent versions of bison don't emit a warning. Neil Conway
