2000-06-22Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on somePeter Eisentraut
option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this. Removed permissions check on SHOW command. Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the official data model better. Adjust documentation. Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself, don't wait for the magic -p switch. Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary. Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode 0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.
2000-06-18Reimplement nodeMaterial to use a temporary BufFile (or even memory, if theTom Lane
materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation. This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname' plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans, and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.
2000-06-17Get rid of IndexIsUniqueNoCache() kluge by the simple expedient ofTom Lane
passing the index-is-unique flag to index build routines (duh! ... why wasn't it done this way to begin with?). Aside from eliminating an eyesore, this should save a few milliseconds in btree index creation because a full scan of pg_index is not needed any more.
2000-06-07Gen_fmgrtab.sh is strange: it is a platform dependent way (because it usesPeter Eisentraut
CPP) to create platform independent files. Unfortunately, that means that every config.status (or configure) run invariably causes a relink of the postmaster and also that we can't put these files in the distribution (usefully). So we make it a little smarter: when the output files already exist and it notices that it would recreate them in identical form, it doesn't touch them. In order to avoid re-running the make rule all the time we update a timestamp file instead. Update release_prep accordingly. Also make Gen_fmgrtab.sh use the awk that is detected at configure time, not necessarily named `awk' and have it check for exit statuses a little better. In other news... Remove USE_LOCALE from the templates, it was set to `no' everywhere anyway. Also remove YACC and YFLAGS from the templates, configure is smart enough to find bison or yacc itself. Use AC_PROG_YACC for that instead of the hand-crafted code. Do not set YFLAGS to `-d'. The make rules that need this flag should explicitly invoke it. YFLAGS should be a user variable. Update the makefiles to that effect.
2000-06-05Latest round of fmgr updates. All functions with bool,char, or int2Tom Lane
inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still more to do for the Alpha port however.
2000-05-31The heralded `Grand Unified Configuration scheme' (GUC)Peter Eisentraut
That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration, some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste. pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K, -Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q). Added to configure an --enable-syslog option. changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
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 ...
2000-05-29Generated 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.

2000-01-19Removed MBFLAGS from makefiles since it's now done in include/config.h.Peter Eisentraut
2000-01-17Add .cvsignore so cvs update doesn't complain about derivedTom Lane
files being left around.
2000-01-16Included all yacc and lex files into the distribution.Peter Eisentraut
2000-01-15Fix a passel of problems with incorrect calls to typinput and typoutputTom Lane
functions, which would lead to trouble with datatypes that paid attention to the typelem or typmod parameters to these functions. In particular, incorrect code in pg_aggregate.c explains the platform-specific failures that have been reported in NUMERIC avg().
2000-01-15Fixed all elog related warnings, as well as a few others.Peter Eisentraut

1999-12-16Update for QNX.Bruce Momjian
1999-12-16I have done the QNX4 port with the current source tree. The number ofBruce Momjian
backend/Makefiles to be patched could significantly be reduced since they have been adopted to the QNX4 needs. Andreas Kardos
1999-12-13New LDOUT makefile variable for QNX os.Bruce Momjian
1999-12-09Make LD -r as macros that can be changed for QNX.Bruce Momjian
1999-11-24Rename heap_replace to heap_update.Bruce Momjian
1999-11-07New NameStr macro to convert Name to Str. No need for var.data anymore.Bruce Momjian
Fewer calls to nameout. Better use of RelationGetRelationName.
1999-11-04Make it possible to execute crashed CREATE/DROP commands again.Hiroshi Inoue
Now indexes of pg_class and pg_type are unique indexes and guarantee the uniqueness of correponding attributes. heap_create() was changed to take another boolean parameter which allows to postpone the creation of disk file. The name of rd_nonameunlinked was changed to rd_unlinked. It is used generally(not only for noname relations) now. Requires initdb.
1999-10-25Standardize on MAXPGPATH as the size of a file pathname buffer,Tom Lane
eliminating some wildly inconsistent coding in various parts of the system. I set MAXPGPATH = 1024 in config.h.in. If anyone is really convinced that there ought to be a configure-time test to set the value, go right ahead ... but I think it's a waste of time.
1999-10-06XLOG (also known as WAL -:)) Bootstrap/Startup/Shutdown.Vadim B. Mikheev
First step in cleaning up backend initialization code. Fix for FATAL: now FATAL is ERROR + exit.
1999-09-27Massimo's SET FSYNC and SHOW PG_OPTIONS changes, without SET QUERY_LIMIT.Bruce Momjian
1999-09-18Mega-commit to make heap_open/heap_openr/heap_close take anTom Lane
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or 'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi. Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the Relation struct layout slightly. Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.

real affect now.
1999-04-20Change elog(ERROR) to get back to main loop via a plain sigsetjmp,Tom Lane
instead of doing a kill(self, SIGQUIT) and expecting the signal handler to do it. Also, clean up inconsistent definitions of the sigjmp buffer in the several files that already referenced it.
1999-03-25Clean up att_align calculations so that XXXALIGN macrosTom Lane
need not be bogus.
1999-03-17Add new postgres -O option to allow system table structure changes.Bruce Momjian
1999-02-13Change my-function-name-- to my_function_name, and optimizer renames.Bruce Momjian
1999-02-03Cleanup of source files where 'return' or 'var =' is alone on a line.Bruce Momjian
1999-02-02Add TEMP tables/indexes. Add COPY pfree(). Other cleanups.Bruce Momjian
1999-01-21The following patch finishes primary key support. Previously, whenBruce Momjian
a field was labelled as a primary key, the system automatically created a unique index on the field. This patch extends it so that the index has the indisprimary field set. You can pull a list of primary keys with the followiing select. SELECT pg_class.relname, pg_attribute.attname FROM pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_index WHERE pg_class.oid = pg_attribute.attrelid AND pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid AND pg_index.indkey[0] = pg_attribute.attnum AND pg_index.indisunique = 't'; There is nothing in this patch that modifies the template database to set the indisprimary attribute for system tables. Should they be changed or should we only be concerned with user tables? D'Arcy
