2002-03-06Modify ALTER TABLE OWNER to change index ownership; code cleanup.Bruce Momjian
Neil Conway
2002-03-06Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
2002-03-05I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVSBruce Momjian
(current as of a few hours ago.) This patch: 1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines. 2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to assume chunks are returned in order). 3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the beginning of the string. 4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!). All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column. 4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this patch.(I plan to return to it separately). 5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE. John Gray
2002-03-02Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG isBruce Momjian
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REALLYFATAL => PANIC STOP => PANIC New INFO level the prints to client by default New LOG level the prints to server log by default Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG Remove debug_level GUC parameter elog() numbers now start at 10 Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog() Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
2002-02-27Clean up BeginCommand and related routines. BeginCommand and EndCommandTom Lane
are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from pg_exec_query_string. BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple receiver setup routines in printtup.c. This makes for a clean distinction between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code was quite ad hoc. Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for ExecutorRun a little bit.
2002-02-26Restructure command-completion-report code so that there is just oneTom Lane
report for each received SQL command, regardless of rewriting activity. Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT commands that have actions added by rules. Fernando Nasser and Tom Lane.
2002-02-19A bunch of changes aimed at reducing backend startup time...Tom Lane
Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed. Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during relcache load. Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi, move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and does not need any expensive initialization. Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan (this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
2002-02-14Ensure that a cursor is scanned under the same scanCommandId it wasTom Lane
originally created with, so that the set of visible tuples does not change as a result of other activity. This essentially makes PG cursors INSENSITIVE per the SQL92 definition. See bug report of 13-Feb-02.
2002-01-03Require ownership permission for CREATE INDEX, per bug report.Tom Lane
Disallow CREATE INDEX on system catalogs, non-tables (views, sequences, etc). Disallow CREATE/DROP TRIGGER on system catalogs, non-tables. Disallow ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP CONSTRAINT on system catalogs. Disallow FOREIGN KEY reference to non-table. None of these things can actually work in the present system structure, but the code was letting them pass without complaint.
2001-12-04Remove now-dead code for processing CONSTR_UNIQUE nodes inTom Lane
AlterTableAddConstraint. Earlier reorganization of the parser's processing of ALTER TABLE means that these node types no longer get here.
2001-11-05New pgindent run with fixes suggested by Tom. Patch manually reviewed,Bruce Momjian
initdb/regression tests pass.
2001-11-02Fix problem reported by Alex Korn: if a relation has been dropped andTom Lane
recreated since the start of our transaction, our first reference to it errored out because we'd try to reuse our old relcache entry for it. Do this by accepting SI inval messages just before relcache search in heap_openr, so that dead relcache entries will be flushed before we search. Also, break heap_open/openr into two pairs of routines, relation_open(r) and heap_open(r). The relation_open routines make no tests on relkind and so can be used to open anything that has a pg_class entry. The heap_open routines are wrappers that add a relkind test to preserve their established behavior. Use the relation_open routines in several places that had various kluge solutions for opening rels that might be either heap or index rels. Also, remove the old 'heap stats' code that's been superseded by Jan's stats collector, and clean up some inconsistencies in error reporting between the different types of ALTER TABLE.
2001-10-31Add ALTER TABLE ADD UNIQUE regression tests from Christopher Kings-Lynne.Bruce Momjian
Add space between slash for ALTER TABLE / ADD .... Regression and *.po updates to follow.
2001-10-28Another pgindent run. Fixes enum indenting, and improves #endifBruce Momjian
spacing. Also adds space for one-line comments.
2001-10-25pgindent run on all C files. Java run to follow. initdb/regressionBruce Momjian
tests pass.
2001-10-23Fix foreign keys on system columns.Tom Lane
2001-10-12Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and makeTom Lane
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code. Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now, and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses actually fire now. ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.
2001-10-05Further cleanup of dynahash.c API, in pursuit of portability andTom Lane
readability. Bizarre '(long *) TRUE' return convention is gone, in favor of just raising an error internally in dynahash.c when we detect hashtable corruption. HashTableWalk is gone, in favor of using hash_seq_search directly, since it had no hope of working with non-LONGALIGNable datatypes. Simplify some other code that was made undesirably grotty by promixity to HashTableWalk.
2001-09-07Here is my much-promised patch to let people add UNIQUE constraints afterBruce Momjian
table creation time. Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time. (Which is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs) Rundown ------- * I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and exported it in analyze.h * I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support makingObjectNames and creating indices * I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and reporting nothing!!! * I have modified the docs. Algorithm --------- * If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name. I'm not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open the relation before doing this step? * Open relation in access exclusive mode * Check that the constraint does not already exist * Define the new index * Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index Christopher Kings-Lynne
2001-08-21Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions inTom Lane
pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent. pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands. Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass. Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's IndexScanOK. Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane. initdb forced.
2001-08-10Make OIDs optional, per discussions in pghackers. WITH OIDS is still theTom Lane
default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them. Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now; pg_description has a three-column key instead of one. Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and triggers in a valid order. initdb forced.
2001-08-10Patch to LOCK multiple tables in one LOCK command.Bruce Momjian
Neil Padgett
2001-08-04Back out LOCK A,B,C patch at Tom's suggestion.Bruce Momjian
2001-08-04Add LOCK A,B,C functionality as LOCK A;LOCK B;LOCK C; as agreed.Bruce Momjian

2001-07-16Partial indexes work again, courtesy of Martijn van Oosterhout.Tom Lane
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough. However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.
2001-07-15Restructure index AM interface for index building and index tuple deletion,Tom Lane
per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet, but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns. Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this, gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with the performance problems we've heard about occasionally). Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long ago for btree, but missed the other guys. Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.
2001-06-14has_table_privilege functions from Joe Conway (with some kibitzing fromTom Lane
Tom Lane). For the moment, only the OID/name variants are provided. I didn't force initdb, but the additions to the 'privileges' regress test won't pass until you do one.
2001-06-12Clean up various to-do items associated with system indexes:Tom Lane
pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname. pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid. pg_am now has unique index on oid. pg_opclass now has unique index on oid. pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum. Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache. Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons (caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is rather pointless). Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on adrelid+adnum. Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not. IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared during initial creation of tables and indexes. In theory we might now support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases. Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have the same OID. (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's actually used to do lookups ;-)) There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap relations. Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired entries in pg_class and friends. Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki, since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless. Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared system relations. Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do). Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.
2001-06-07This adds unary plus capability. No grammar changes, per Tom's request.Bruce Momjian

2001-05-30These patches should fix check constraints not inheritingBruce Momjian
when added by alter table add constraint. The first file patches backend/commands/command.c and the latter is a patch to the alter table regression test. Stephan Szabo
2001-05-30Attached is my patch that adds DROP CONSTRAINT support to PostgreSQL. IBruce Momjian
basically want your guys feedback. I have sprinkled some of my q's thru the text delimited with the @@ symbol. It seems to work perfectly. [ Removed @@ comments because patch was reviewed. ] At the moment it does CHECK constraints only, with inheritance. However, due to the problem mentioned before with the mismatching between inherited constraints it may be wise to disable the inheritance feature for a while. it is written in an extensible fashion to support future dropping of other types of constraint, and is well documented. Please send me your comments, check my use of locking, updating of indices, use of ERROR and NOTICE, etc. and I will rework the patch based on feedback until everyone is happy with it... Christopher Kings
2001-05-27Make UPDATE and DELETE privileges distinct. Add REFERENCES and TRIGGERPeter Eisentraut
privileges. INSERT and COPY FROM now require INSERT (only). Add privileges regression test.
2001-05-21Enhancement of SPI to get access to portalsJan Wieck
- New functions to create a portal using a prepared/saved SPI plan or lookup an existing portal by name. - Functions to fetch/move from/in portals. Results are placed in the usual SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable, so the entire set of utility functions can be used to gain attribute access. - Prepared/saved SPI plans now use their own memory context and SPI_freeplan(plan) can remove them. - Tuple result sets (SPI_tuptable) now uses it's own memory context and can be free'd by SPI_freetuptable(tuptab). Enhancement of PL/pgSQL - Uses generic named portals internally in FOR ... SELECT loops to avoid running out of memory on huge result sets. - Support for CURSOR and REFCURSOR syntax using the new SPI functionality. Cursors used internally only need no explicit transaction block. Refcursor variables can be used inside of explicit transaction block to pass cursors between main application and functions. Jan
2001-05-09 This patch should catch cases where the typesBruce Momjian
in referencing and referenced columns of an fk constraint aren't comparable using '=' at constraint definition time rather than insert/update time. Stephan Szabo
2001-05-07Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available asTom Lane
a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too). pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values, not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command. There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before. A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.
2001-03-23Fix comments that were mis-wrapped, for Tom Lane.Bruce Momjian
2001-03-22Remove dashes in comments that don't need them, rewrap with pgindent.Bruce Momjian
2001-03-22pgindent run. Make it all clean.Bruce Momjian
2001-02-27Tweak portal (cursor) code so that it will not call the executor againTom Lane
when user does another FETCH after reaching end of data, or another FETCH backwards after reaching start. This is needed because some plan nodes are not very robust about being called again after they've already returned NULL; for example, MergeJoin will crash in some states but not others. While the ideal approach would be for them all to handle this correctly, it seems foolish to assume that no such bugs would creep in again once cleaned up. Therefore, the most robust answer is to prevent the situation from arising at all.
2001-02-14Change scoping of table and join refnames to conform to SQL92: a JOINTom Lane
clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references appearing within it, according to the spec. This is the same as the preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct alias name depending on context. I'd rather not have done that, but unless we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.
2001-01-29Clean up handling of tuple descriptors so that result-tuple descriptorsTom Lane
allocated by plan nodes are not leaked at end of query. This doesn't really matter for normal queries, but it sure does for queries invoked repetitively inside SQL functions. Clean up some other grotty code associated with tupdescs, and fix a few other memory leaks exposed by tests with simple SQL functions.
2001-01-24Change Copyright from PostgreSQL, Inc to PostgreSQL Global Development Group.Bruce Momjian
2001-01-23Fix all the places that called heap_update() and heap_delete() withoutTom Lane
bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find out about it, except by observing later that the transaction produced the wrong outcome. There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates. In practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor, because *noplace* else was checking.
2001-01-23Rename int4 to int32 in a few places.Bruce Momjian
2001-01-08Keep relations open until they are no longer needed.Hiroshi Inoue
2001-01-07Clean up checking of relkind for ALTER TABLE and LOCK TABLE commands.Tom Lane
Disallow cases like adding constraints to sequences :-(, and eliminate now-unnecessary search of pg_rewrite to decide if a relation is a view.
2000-12-22Small cleanup of temp-table handling. Disallow creation of a non-tempTom Lane
table that inherits from a temp table. Make sure the right things happen if one creates a temp table, creates another temp that inherits from it, then renames the first one. (Previously, system would end up trying to delete the temp tables in the wrong order.)
2000-12-05From Stephan Szabo:Tom Lane
I believe this should fix the issue that Philip Warner noticed about the check for unique constraints meeting the referenced keys of a foreign key constraint allowing the specification of a subset of a foreign key instead of rejecting it. I also added tests for a base case of this to the foreign key and alter table tests and patches for expected output.
2000-11-16Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count isTom Lane
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
2000-11-14Fix illegal combination of SearchSysCacheTuple() and heap_freetuple()Hiroshi Inoue
in AlterTableOwner().
