2005-08-24Fix ExecBRDeleteTriggers so that deletion is not suppressed when deleteTom Lane
triggers exist but are all disabled. Problem noted by Gavin Sherry in original discussion of enable/disable trigger patch, but was never addressed.
2005-08-23Add ALTER TABLE ENABLE/DISABLE TRIGGER commands. Change pg_dump toTom Lane
use these instead of its previous hack of changing pg_class.reltriggers. Documentation is lacking, will add that later. Patch by Satoshi Nagayasu, review and some extra work by Tom Lane.
2005-08-20Repair problems with VACUUM destroying t_ctid chains too soon, and withTom Lane
insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. (We must do both because even with VACUUM doing it properly, the intermediate state with a dangling t_ctid link is visible concurrently during lazy VACUUM, and could be seen afterwards if either type of VACUUM crashes partway through.) Also try to improve documentation about what's going on. Patch is a bit bulky because passing the XMAX information around required changing the APIs of some low-level heapam.c routines, but it's not conceptually very complicated. Per trouble report from Teodor and subsequent analysis. This needs to be back-patched, but I'll do that after 8.1 beta is out.
2005-08-12Solve the problem of OID collisions by probing for duplicate OIDsTom Lane
whenever we generate a new OID. This prevents occasional duplicate-OID errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around. Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new physical files. Per my recent proposal.
2005-08-01Add NOWAIT option to SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE.Tom Lane
Original patch by Hans-Juergen Schoenig, revisions by Karel Zak and Tom Lane.
2005-05-30When enqueueing after-row triggers for updates of a table with a foreignNeil Conway
key, compare the new and old row versions. If the foreign key column has not changed, we needn't enqueue the trigger, since the update cannot violate the foreign key. This optimization was previously applied in the RI trigger function, but it is more efficient to avoid firing the trigger altogether. Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers. Also add a regression test for some unintuitive foreign key behavior, and refactor some code that deals with the OIDs of the various RI trigger functions.
2005-05-06For some reason access/tupmacs.h has been #including utils/memutils.h,Tom Lane
which is neither needed by nor related to that header. Remove the bogus inclusion and instead include the header in those C files that actually need it. Also fix unnecessary inclusions and bad inclusion order in tsearch2 files.
2005-04-28Implement sharable row-level locks, and use them for foreign key referencesTom Lane
to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple- transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before, while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock. Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
2005-04-14Completion of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane
indexes. Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open and index_open. Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in various places. Remove relcache's support for looking up system catalogs by name. Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...
2005-04-14First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane
indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes; but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a good place to commit. Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be 'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.
2005-04-11Fix interaction between materializing holdable cursors and firingTom Lane
deferred triggers: either one can create more work for the other, so we have to loop till it's all gone. Per example from andrew@supernews. Add a regression test to help spot trouble in this area in future.
2005-03-29Officially decouple FUNC_MAX_ARGS from INDEX_MAX_KEYS, and set theTom Lane
former to 100 by default. Clean up some of the less necessary dependencies on FUNC_MAX_ARGS; however, the biggie (FunctionCallInfoData) remains.
2005-03-29Convert oidvector and int2vector into variable-length arrays. ThisTom Lane
change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index, and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet. There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct, and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.
2005-03-25Improve EXPLAIN ANALYZE to show the time spent in each trigger whenTom Lane
executing a statement that fires triggers. Formerly this time was included in "Total runtime" but not otherwise accounted for. As a side benefit, we avoid re-opening relations when firing non-deferred AFTER triggers, because the trigger code can re-use the main executor's ResultRelInfo data structure.
2005-03-24Revert changes to CREATE TRIGGER and ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY locking,Neil Conway
per request from Tom.
2005-03-23Adjust CREATE TRIGGER and ALTER TABLE ... ADD FOREIGN KEY to acquireNeil Conway
ExclusiveLock rather than AccessExclusiveLock. This will allow concurrent SELECT queries to proceed on the table. Per discussion with Andrew at SuperNews.
2005-03-20Change the return value of HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate() to be an enum,Neil Conway
rather than an integer, and fix the associated fallout. From Alvaro Herrera.
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 ...
2004-12-06ActiveSnapshot must be set to something valid while running deferredTom Lane
triggers during COMMIT. Per trouble report from Frank van Vugt.
2004-11-14There is no need for ReadBuffer() call sites to check that the returnedNeil Conway
buffer is valid, as ReadBuffer() will elog on error. Most of the call sites of ReadBuffer() got this right, but this patch fixes those call sites that did not.
2004-10-30I found a corner case in which it is possible for RI_FKey_check's callTom Lane
of HeapTupleSatisfiesItself() to trigger a hint-bit update on the tuple: if the row was updated or deleted by a subtransaction of my own transaction that was later rolled back. This cannot occur in pre-8.0 of course, so the hint-bit patch applied a couple weeks ago is OK for existing releases. But for 8.0 it seems we had better fix things so that RI_FKey_check can pass the correct buffer number to HeapTupleSatisfiesItself. Accordingly, add fields to the TriggerData struct to carry the buffer ID(s) for the old and new tuple(s). There are other possible solutions but this one seems cleanest; it will allow other AFTER-trigger functions to safely do tqual.c calls if they want to. Put new fields at end of struct so that there is no API breakage.
2004-10-21Disallow referential integrity actions from being deferred; only theTom Lane
NO ACTION check is deferrable. This seems to be a closer approximation to what the SQL spec says than what we were doing before, and it prevents some anomalous behaviors that are possible now that triggers can fire during the execution of PL functions. Stephan Szabo.
2004-09-10Fire non-deferred AFTER triggers immediately upon query completion,Tom Lane
rather than when returning to the idle loop. This makes no particular difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before the calling function is allowed to proceed. This responds to numerous complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and appears to be required by the SQL99 spec. Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a bit of space.
2004-09-08Minor efficiency improvements in keeping track of trigger deferredTom Lane
status. In particular, I see no reason for deferredTriggerCheckState to make an explicit entry to note that a particular trigger has its default state --- that just clutters a list that should normally be empty or very short. I have plans to revise this module much more heavily, but this is a simple separable improvement.
2004-09-07Fix a couple of small errors in trigger-list management, as per recentTom Lane
discussion.
2004-09-06Fix a number of places where brittle data structures or overly strongTom Lane
Asserts would lead to a server core dump if an error occurred while trying to abort a failed subtransaction (thereby leading to re-execution of whatever parts of AbortSubTransaction had already run). This of course does not prevent such an error from creating an infinite loop, but at least we don't make the situation worse. Responds to an open item on the subtransactions to-do list.

2004-08-29Update copyright to 2004.Bruce Momjian
2004-07-01Nested transactions. There is still much left to do, especially on theTom Lane
performance front, but with feature freeze upon us I think it's time to drive a stake in the ground and say that this will be in 7.5. Alvaro Herrera, with some help from Tom Lane.
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.
2004-02-10Restructure smgr API as per recent proposal. smgr no longer depends onTom Lane
the relcache, and so the notion of 'blind write' is gone. This should improve efficiency in bgwriter and background checkpoint processes. Internal restructuring in md.c to remove the not-very-useful array of MdfdVec objects --- might as well just use pointers. Also remove the long-dead 'persistent main memory' storage manager (mm.c), since it seems quite unlikely to ever get resurrected.
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.
2003-11-06Implement isolation levels read uncommitted and repeatable read as actingPeter Eisentraut
like the next higher one.
2003-10-02Change some notices to warnings and vice versa according to criteriaPeter Eisentraut
developed on -hackers.
2003-09-25Get rid of ReferentialIntegritySnapshotOverride by extending Executor APITom Lane
to allow es_snapshot to be set to SnapshotNow rather than a query snapshot. This solves a bug reported by Wade Klaver, wherein triggers fired as a result of RI cascade updates could misbehave.
2003-09-25Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut
terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.

2003-07-28A visit from the message-style police ...Tom Lane
2003-07-20Another round of error message editing, covering backend/commands/.Tom Lane
2003-07-04Some early work on error message editing. Operator-not-found andTom Lane
function-not-found messages now distinguish the cases no-match and ambiguous-match, and they follow the style guidelines too.
2003-06-24In an attempt to simplify my life I'm submitting this patch thatBruce Momjian
restructures the deferred trigger queue. The fundamental change is to put all the static variables to hold the deferred triggers in a single structure. Alvaro Herrera
2003-04-20Avoid O(N^2) behavior with lots of deferred triggers by makingTom Lane
deferredTriggerInvokeEvents only scan events added since it last ran. Stephan Szabo, some corrections by Tom Lane.
2003-03-31The following patch cleans up the deferred trigger mechanism. There isBruce Momjian
an unneeded memory context and some variables that are not used anymore. It's pretty trivial and the regression tests pass fine. There's no change in functionality, only deletion of unused code. I left an empty function because maybe I'll need it for nested transactions. Alvaro Herrera
2003-03-27GetTupleForTrigger must use outer transaction's command counter for timeTom Lane
qual checking, not GetCurrentCommandId. Per test case from Steve Wolfe.
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.
