2004-12-31Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...
2004-09-13Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTEDTom Lane
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.

2004-08-29Update copyright to 2004.Bruce Momjian
2004-07-11ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE. Gavin Sherry, some rework by Tom Lane.Tom Lane
2004-06-18Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.Tom Lane
There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is dead, it just doesn't know it yet. Gavin Sherry and Tom Lane.
2004-05-31Minor code rationalization: FlushRelationBuffers just returns void,Tom Lane
rather than an error code, and does elog(ERROR) not elog(WARNING) when it detects a problem. All callers were simply elog(ERROR)'ing on failure return anyway, and I find it hard to envision a caller that would not, so we may as well simplify the callers and produce the more useful error message directly.
2004-05-26Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway
In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
2004-05-08Get rid of cluster.c's apparatus for rebuilding a relation's indexesTom Lane
in favor of using the REINDEX TABLE apparatus, which does the same thing simpler and faster. Also, make TRUNCATE not use cluster.c at all, but just assign a new relfilenode and REINDEX. This partially addresses Hartmut Raschick's complaint from last December that 7.4's TRUNCATE is an order of magnitude slower than prior releases. By getting rid of a lot of unnecessary catalog updates, these changes buy back about a factor of two (on my system). The remaining overhead seems associated with creating and deleting storage files, which we may not be able to do much about without abandoning transaction safety for TRUNCATE.
2004-05-06Make ALTER COLUMN TYPE preserve clustered status for indexes it doesn'tTom Lane
modify. Also fix a passel of problems with ALTER TABLE CLUSTER ON: failure to check that the index is safe to cluster on (or even belongs to the indicated rel, or even exists), and failure to broadcast a relcache flush event when changing an index's state.
2004-05-05ALTER TABLE rewrite. New cool stuff:Tom Lane
* ALTER ... ADD COLUMN with defaults and NOT NULL constraints works per SQL spec. A default is implemented by rewriting the table with the new value stored in each row. * ALTER COLUMN TYPE. You can change a column's datatype to anything you want, so long as you can specify how to convert the old value. Rewrites the table. (Possible future improvement: optimize no-op conversions such as varchar(N) to varchar(N+1).) * Multiple ALTER actions in a single ALTER TABLE command. You can perform any number of column additions, type changes, and constraint additions with only one pass over the table contents. Basic documentation provided in ALTER TABLE ref page, but some more docs work is needed. Original patch from Rod Taylor, additional work from Tom Lane.
2004-03-23Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, andTom Lane
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor of doing a regular DROP. Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column. This fixes problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an OID column that was inherited from a parent.
2003-11-29$Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ...PostgreSQL Daemon
2003-11-12Cross-data-type comparisons are now indexable by btrees, pursuant to myTom Lane
pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support. The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event; it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
2003-11-09Add operator strategy and comparison-value datatype fields to ScanKey.Tom Lane
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the first place is simpler and faster. This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize() API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those changes before the tree drifts under me.
2003-09-25Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut
terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.

2003-08-01Adjust 'permission denied' messages to be more useful and consistent.Tom Lane
2003-07-20Another round of error message editing, covering backend/commands/.Tom Lane
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.
2003-05-14Backend 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.
2003-05-02Portal 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.
2003-03-20Add start time to pg_stat_activityBruce Momjian
Neil Conway
2003-03-03Prevent clustering on incomplete indexes: partial indexes are verboten,Tom Lane
as are non-amindexnulls AMs unless first column is attnotnull.
2003-02-09Create a distinction between Lists of integers and Lists of OIDs, to getTom Lane
rid of the assumption that sizeof(Oid)==sizeof(int). This is one small step towards someday supporting 8-byte OIDs. For the moment, it doesn't do much except get rid of a lot of unsightly casts.

2002-12-04Make usesysid consistently int4, not oid.Bruce Momjian
Catalog patch from Alvaro Herrera for same. catversion updated. initdb required.

2002-11-18Remove ALL from CLUSTER ALL. Use just CLUSTER.Bruce Momjian
2002-11-15New version attached. The following is implemented:Bruce Momjian
- CLUSTER ALL clusters all the tables that have some index with indisclustered set and the calling user owns. - CLUSTER tablename clusters the named table, using the index with indisclustered set. If no index has the bit set, throws elog(ERROR). - The multi-relation version (CLUSTER ALL) uses a multitransaction approach, similar to what VACUUM does. Alvaro Herrera
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
2002-11-02During swap_relfilenodes, swap relation size statistic fields along withTom Lane
the relfilenode and toast fields. This ensures that the newly-computed statistics will be available on completion of CLUSTER.
2002-09-04pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-03Code review and documentation updates for indisclustered patch.Tom Lane
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.
2002-08-27I attach a little patch to make CLUSTER set and reset the indisclusteredBruce Momjian
bit on the indexes. I also attach clusterdb and clusterdb.sgml; both of them are blatant rips of vacuumdb and vacuumdb.sgml, but get the job done. Please review them, as I'm probably making a lot of mistakes with SGML and I can't compile it here. vacuumdb itself is not very comfortable to use when the databases have passwords, because it has to connect once for each table (I can probably make it connect only once for each database; should I?). Because of this I added a mention of PGPASSWORDFILE in the documentation, but I don't know if that is the correct place for that. Alvaro Herrera
2002-08-11Code review of CLUSTER patch. Clean up problems with relcache gettingTom Lane
confused, toasted data getting lost, etc.
2002-08-10Update with newer version of CLUSTER patch posted August 8.Bruce Momjian
> Looks like Alvaro got sideswiped by the system catalog indexing changes > I made over the weekend. It's a simple change, just reduce the whole > mess to a "CatalogUpdateIndexes()" call. I update two tuples, so I manually CatalogOpenIndexes() and CatalogIndexInsert() two times, as per comments in CatalogUpdateIndexes(). I also removed a couple of useless CommandCounterIncrement(), some useless definitions in src/include/commands/cluster.h and useless includes in src/backend/commands/cluster.c. This version passes the regression test I had made for previous versions. Alvaro Herrera
2002-08-10Major improvement in CLUSTER which preserves table characteristics usingBruce Momjian
relfilenode. I sent the CLUSTER patch a few days ago and I think it was missed. I append it again, this time including the regression test files. For the committer, please note that you have to cvs add the files as they don't exist. Maybe add to the parallel and serial schedules also, but I don't know such stuff. Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]atentus.com>)
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.
