2006-11-23Several changes to reduce the probability of running out of memory duringTom Lane
AbortTransaction, which would lead to recursion and eventual PANIC exit as illustrated in recent report from Jeff Davis. First, in xact.c create a special dedicated memory context for AbortTransaction to run in. This solves the problem as long as AbortTransaction doesn't need more than 32K (or whatever other size we create the context with). But in corner cases it might. Second, in trigger.c arrange to keep pending after-trigger event records in separate contexts that can be freed near the beginning of AbortTransaction, rather than having them persist until CleanupTransaction as before. Third, in portalmem.c arrange to free executor state data earlier as well. These two changes should result in backing off the out-of-memory condition before AbortTransaction needs any significant amount of memory, at least in typical cases such as memory overrun due to too many trigger events or too big an executor hash table. And all the same for subtransaction abort too, of course.
2006-11-12Fix some typos in comments.Neil Conway
2006-11-05Fix recently-understood problems with handling of XID freezing, particularlyTom Lane
in PITR scenarios. We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to PITR slave databases. Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId. Add new GUC variables and pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work done. Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather than per-database. initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database, and pg_autovacuum catalogs. Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.
2006-10-19Fix a couple of places that were assuming debug_query_string couldn'tTom Lane
be NULL ... seems an unsafe assumption.
2006-10-18Add some code to CREATE DATABASE to check for pre-existing subdirectoriesTom Lane
that conflict with the OID that we want to use for the new database. This avoids the risk of trying to remove files that maybe we shouldn't remove. Per gripe from Jon Lapham and subsequent discussion of 27-Sep.

2006-10-05Make use of qsort_arg in several places that were formerly using klugyTom Lane
static variables. This avoids any risk of potential non-reentrancy, and in particular offers a much cleaner workaround for the Intel compiler bug that was affecting ginutil.c.

2006-09-27Replace strncpy with strlcpy in selected places that seem possibly relevantTom Lane
to performance. (A wholesale effort to get rid of strncpy should be undertaken sometime, but not during beta.) This commit also fixes dynahash.c to correctly truncate overlength string keys for hashtables, so that its callers don't have to anymore.
2006-09-25Fix notice message from DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS, and improve messageTom Lane
for DROP AGGREGATE IF EXISTS. Per report from Teodor.
2006-09-21Fix free space map to correctly track the total amount of FSM space neededTom Lane
even when a single relation requires more than max_fsm_pages pages. Also, make VACUUM emit a warning in this case, since it likely means that VACUUM FULL or other drastic corrective measure is needed. Per reports from Jeff Frost and others of unexpected changes in the claimed max_fsm_pages need.
2006-09-17Change ANALYZE to take ShareUpdateExclusiveLock not AccessShareLock onTom Lane
the table being analyzed. This prevents two ANALYZEs from running concurrently on the same table and possibly suffering concurrent-update failures while trying to store their results into pg_statistic. The downside is that a database-wide ANALYZE executed within a transaction block will hold ShareUpdateExclusiveLock on many tables simultaneously, which could lead to concurrency issues or even deadlock against another such ANALYZE. However, this seems a corner case of less importance than getting unexpected errors from a foreground ANALYZE when autovacuum elects to analyze the same table concurrently. Per discussion.
2006-09-17Marginal cleanup in arrangements for ensuring StrategyHintVacuum is clearedTom Lane
after an error during VACUUM. We have a PG_TRY block anyway around the only call sites, so just reset it in the CATCH clause instead of having AtEOXact_Buffers blindly do it during xact end. I think the old code was actively wrong for the case of a failure during ANALYZE inside a subtransaction --- the flag wouldn't get cleared until main transaction end. Probably not worth back-patching though.
2006-09-13Code review for patch to avoid second scan when vacuuming index-lessTom Lane
table: avoid invoking LockBufferForCleanup without need, put out the same log message we would have before, minor code beautification.
2006-09-07Clean up logging for extended-query-protocol operations, as per my recentTom Lane
proposal. Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and logging overhead is avoided when disabled. log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example now looks like LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: duration: 0.394 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: duration: 1.251 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 LOG: duration: 0.566 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' LOG: duration: 0.173 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' (This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration logging purposes, BTW.) Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all. This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.
2006-09-06Change processing of extended-Query mode so that an unnamed statementTom Lane
that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command, treating the parameter values as constants in the planner. This removes the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding, LIKE optimization, etc. After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.
2006-09-05Get rid of the separate RULE privilege for tables: now only a table's ownerTom Lane
can create or modify rules for the table. Do setRuleCheckAsUser() while loading rules into the relcache, rather than when defining a rule. This ensures that permission checks for tables referenced in a rule are done with respect to the current owner of the rule's table, whereas formerly ALTER TABLE OWNER would fail to update the permission checking for associated rules. Removal of separate RULE privilege is needed to prevent various scenarios in which a grantee of RULE privilege could effectively have any privilege of the table owner. For backwards compatibility, GRANT/REVOKE RULE is still accepted, but it doesn't do anything. Per discussion here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-04/msg01138.php
2006-09-04Trivial patch to double vacuum speed on tables with no indexes (preventBruce Momjian
second scan of table). Gregory Stark
2006-09-04Disallow TRUNCATE when there are any pending after-trigger events forTom Lane
the target relation(s). There might be some cases where we could discard the pending event instead, but for the moment a conservative approach seems sufficient. Per report from Markus Schiltknecht and subsequent discussion.

2006-08-29Now bind displays prepare as detail, and execute displays prepare andBruce Momjian
optionally bind. I re-added the "statement:" label so people will understand why the line is being printed (it is log_*statement behavior). Use single quotes for bind values, instead of double quotes, and double literal single quotes in bind values (and document that). I also made use of the DETAIL line to have much cleaner output.
2006-08-27Add a function GetLockConflicts() to lock.c to report xacts holdingTom Lane
locks that would conflict with a specified lock request, without actually trying to get that lock. Use this instead of the former ad hoc method of doing the first wait step in CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. Fixes problem with undetected deadlock and in many cases will allow the index creation to proceed sooner than it otherwise could've. Per discussion with Greg Stark.
2006-08-25Add the ability to create indexes 'concurrently', that is, withoutTom Lane
blocking concurrent writes to the table. Greg Stark, with a little help from Tom Lane.
2006-08-21Fix all known problems with pg_dump's handling of serial sequencesTom Lane
by abandoning the idea that it should say SERIAL in the dump. Instead, dump serial sequences and column defaults just like regular ones. Add a new backend command ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY to let pg_dump recreate the sequence-to-column dependency that was formerly created "behind the scenes" by SERIAL. This restores SERIAL to being truly "just a macro" consisting of component operations that can be stated explicitly in SQL. Furthermore, the new command allows sequence ownership to be reassigned, so that old mistakes can be cleaned up. Also, downgrade the OWNED-BY dependency from INTERNAL to AUTO, since there is no longer any very compelling argument why the sequence couldn't be dropped while keeping the column. (This forces initdb, to be sure the right kinds of dependencies are in there.) Along the way, add checks to prevent ALTER OWNER or SET SCHEMA on an owned sequence; you can now only do this indirectly by changing the owning table's owner or schema. This is an oversight in previous releases, but probably not worth back-patching.
2006-08-18Now that we've rearranged relation open to get a lock before touchingTom Lane
the rel, it's easy to get rid of the narrow race-condition window that used to exist in VACUUM and CLUSTER. Did some minor code-beautification work in the same area, too.
2006-08-14Fix oversight in initial implementation of PORTAL_ONE_RETURNING mode: weTom Lane
cannot assume that there's exactly one Query in the Portal, as we can for ONE_SELECT mode, because non-SELECT queries might have extra queries added during rule rewrites. Fix things up so that we'll use ONE_RETURNING mode when a Portal contains one primary (canSetTag) query and that query has a RETURNING list. This appears to be a second showstopper reason for running the Portal to completion before we start to hand anything back --- we want to be sure that the rule-added queries get run too.
2006-08-12Tweak SPI_cursor_open to allow INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE RETURNING; this wasTom Lane
merely a matter of fixing the error check, since the underlying Portal infrastructure already handles it. This in turn allows these statements to be used in some existing plpgsql and plperl contexts, such as a plpgsql FOR loop. Also, do some marginal code cleanup in places that were being sloppy about distinguishing SELECT from SELECT INTO.
2006-08-12Add INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE RETURNING, with basic docs and regression tests.Tom Lane
plpgsql support to come later. Along the way, convert execMain's SELECT INTO support into a DestReceiver, in order to eliminate some ugly special cases. Jonah Harris and Tom Lane
2006-08-08For protocol-level prepare/bind/execute:Bruce Momjian
o print user name for all o print portal name if defined for all o print query for all o reduce log_statement header to single keyword o print bind parameters as DETAIL if text mode
2006-08-03Cause ALTER TABLE to perform ALTER COLUMN DROP DEFAULT operations duringTom Lane
the DROP pass rather than the ADD_CONSTR pass. On examining the code I think this was just an oversight rather than intentional, and it seems to satisfy the principle of least surprise better than the alternative solution that was discussed. Add an example to the ref page showing how to do ALTER TYPE and update the default in one command. Per gripe from Markus Bertheau that that wasn't possible.
2006-08-03Fix AfterTriggerExecute() to pass tg_trigtuple and tg_newtuple as NULLsTom Lane
rather than pointers to garbage, when calling AFTER STATEMENT triggers. Michael Fuhr
2006-08-02Add support for multi-row VALUES clauses as part of INSERT statementsJoe Conway
(e.g. "INSERT ... VALUES (...), (...), ...") and elsewhere as allowed by the spec. (e.g. similar to a FROM clause subselect). initdb required. Joe Conway and Tom Lane.
2006-07-31Change the relation_open protocol so that we obtain lock on a relationTom Lane
(table or index) before trying to open its relcache entry. This fixes race conditions in which someone else commits a change to the relation's catalog entries while we are in process of doing relcache load. Problems of that ilk have been reported sporadically for years, but it was not really practical to fix until recently --- for instance, the recent addition of WAL-log support for in-place updates helped. Along the way, remove pg_am.amconcurrent: all AMs are now expected to support concurrent update.
2006-07-31Change the bootstrap sequence so that toast tables for system catalogs areTom Lane
created in the bootstrap phase proper, rather than added after-the-fact by initdb. This is cleaner than before because it allows us to retire the undocumented ALTER TABLE ... CREATE TOAST TABLE command, but the real reason I'm doing it is so that toast tables of shared catalogs will now have predetermined OIDs. This will allow a reasonably clean solution to the problem of locking tables before we load their relcache entries, to appear in a forthcoming patch.
2006-07-30Modify snapshot definition so that lazy vacuums are ignored by otherAlvaro Herrera
vacuums. This allows a OLTP-like system with big tables to continue regular vacuuming on small-but-frequently-updated tables while the big tables are being vacuumed. Original patch from Hannu Krossing, rewritten by Tom Lane and updated by me.
2006-07-27Aggregate functions now support multiple input arguments. I also tookTom Lane
the opportunity to treat COUNT(*) as a zero-argument aggregate instead of the old hack that equated it to COUNT(1); this is materially cleaner (no more weird ANYOID cases) and ought to be at least a tiny bit faster. Original patch by Sergey Koposov; review, documentation, simple regression tests, pg_dump and psql support by moi.
