2008-05-12Improve snapshot manager by keeping explicit track of snapshots.Alvaro Herrera
There are two ways to track a snapshot: there's the "registered" list, which is used for arbitrary long-lived snapshots; and there's the "active stack", which is used for the snapshot that is considered "active" at any time. This also allows users of snapshots to stop worrying about snapshot memory allocation and freeing, and about using PG_TRY blocks around ActiveSnapshot assignment. This is all done automatically now. As a consequence, this allows us to reset MyProc->xmin when there are no more snapshots registered in the current backend, reducing the impact that long-running transactions have on VACUUM.
2008-03-26Rename snapmgmt.c/h to snapmgr.c/h, for consistency with other files.Alvaro Herrera
Per complaint from Tom Lane.
2008-03-26Separate snapshot management code from tuple visibility code, create aAlvaro Herrera
snapmgmt.c file for the former. The header files have also been reorganized in three parts: the most basic snapshot definitions are now in a new file snapshot.h, and the also new snapmgmt.h keeps the definitions for snapmgmt.c. tqual.h has been reduced to the bare minimum. This patch is just a first step towards managing live snapshots within a transaction; there is no functionality change. Per my proposal to pgsql-patches on 20080318191940.GB27458@alvh.no-ip.org and subsequent discussion.
2008-01-01Update copyrights in source tree to 2008.Bruce Momjian
2007-03-03Add resetStringInfo(), which clears the content of a StringInfo, andNeil Conway
fixup various places in the tree that were clearing a StringInfo by hand. Making this function a part of the API simplifies client code slightly, and avoids needlessly peeking inside the StringInfo interface.

2006-10-19Marginal improvement in logging: include the function name when loggingTom Lane
a fastpath function call.
2006-10-04pgindent run for 8.2.Bruce Momjian
2006-09-08Tweak the behavior of log_duration as proposed by Guillaume Smet: ratherTom Lane
than being equivalent to setting log_min_duration_statement to zero, this option now forces logging of all query durations, but doesn't force logging of query text. Also, add duration logging coverage for fastpath function calls.
2006-07-14Remove 576 references of include files that were not needed.Bruce Momjian
2006-07-13Allow include files to compile own their own.Bruce Momjian
Strip unused include files out unused include files, and add needed includes to C files. The next step is to remove unused include files in C files.
2006-07-11Sort reference of include files, "A" - "F".Bruce Momjian
2006-06-14Do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS immediately before terminating a fastpathTom Lane
function call. Previously, there may have been no CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS at all in the fastpath code path, making it impossible to cancel an operation such as \lo_import externally. This addition doesn't ensure you can cancel, since your SIGINT may arrive while the backend is idle waiting for the client, but it gives the largest window we can easily provide. Noted while experimenting with new control-C code for psql.
2006-06-11Fix Assert failure when a fastpath function call is attempted inside anTom Lane
already-aborted transaction block. GetSnapshotData throws an Assert if not in a valid transaction; hence we mustn't attempt to set a snapshot for the function until after checking for aborted transaction. This is harmless AFAICT if Asserts aren't enabled (GetSnapshotData will compute a bogus snapshot, but it doesn't matter since HandleFunctionRequest will throw an error shortly anywy). Hence, not a major bug. Along the way, add some ability to log fastpath calls when statement logging is turned on. This could probably stand to be improved further, but not logging anything is clearly undesirable. Backpatched as far as 8.0; bug doesn't exist before that.
2006-04-04Modify all callers of datatype input and receive functions so that if theseTom Lane
functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter) during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes in our domain support, as per previous discussion. While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need to touch them again.
2006-03-05Update copyright for 2006. Update scripts.Bruce Momjian
2005-11-22Re-run pgindent, fixing a problem where comment lines after a blankBruce Momjian
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for indenting). Backpatch to 8.1.X.
2005-10-15Standard pgindent run for 8.1.Bruce Momjian
2005-09-24Suppress signed-vs-unsigned-char warnings.Tom Lane
2005-07-10Change typreceive function API so that receive functions get the sameTom Lane
optional arguments as text input functions, ie, typioparam OID and atttypmod. Make all the datatypes that use typmod enforce it the same way in typreceive as they do in typinput. This fixes a problem with failure to enforce length restrictions during COPY FROM BINARY.
2005-05-01Change CREATE TYPE to require datatype output and send functions to haveTom Lane
only one argument. (Per recent discussion, the option to accept multiple arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely source of security holes if it was used.) Simplify call sites of output/send functions to not bother passing more than one argument.
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.
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
2004-06-06Infrastructure for I/O of composite types: arrange for the I/O routinesTom Lane
of a composite type to get that type's OID as their second parameter, in place of typelem which is useless. The actual changes are mostly centralized in getTypeInputInfo and siblings, but I had to fix a few places that were fetching pg_type.typelem for themselves instead of using the lsyscache.c routines. Also, I renamed all the related variables from 'typelem' to 'typioparam' to discourage people from assuming that they necessarily contain array element types.
2004-04-19Complete TODO item:Bruce Momjian
o -Allow dump/load of CSV format This adds new keywords to COPY and \copy: CSV - enable CSV mode (comma separated variable) QUOTE - specify quote character ESCAPE - specify escape character FORCE - force quoting of specified column LITERAL - suppress null comparison for columns Doc changes included. Regression updates coming from Andrew.
2004-01-07More janitorial work: remove the explicit casting of NULL literals to aNeil Conway
pointer type when it is not necessary to do so. For future reference, casting NULL to a pointer type is only necessary when (a) invoking a function AND either (b) the function has no prototype OR (c) the function is a varargs function.

2003-08-01Adjust 'permission denied' messages to be more useful and consistent.Tom Lane
2003-07-22Error message editing in backend/libpq, backend/postmaster, backend/tcop.Tom Lane
Along the way, fix some logic problems in pgstat_initstats, notably the bogus assumption that malloc returns zeroed memory.
2003-05-09Now that fastpath protocol allows null arguments to be passed,Tom Lane
fastpath.c had better check for strict functions.
2003-05-09Implement new-protocol binary I/O support in DataRow, Bind, and FunctionCallTom Lane
messages. Binary I/O is now up and working, but only for a small set of datatypes (integers, text, bytea).
2003-05-08Update 3.0 protocol support to match recent agreements about how toTom Lane
handle multiple 'formats' for data I/O. Restructure CommandDest and DestReceiver stuff one more time (it's finally starting to look a bit clean though). Code now matches latest 3.0 protocol document as far as message formats go --- but there is no support for binary I/O yet.
2003-05-05Extended query protocol: parse, bind, execute, describe FE/BE messages.Tom Lane
Only lightly tested as yet, since libpq doesn't know anything about 'em.
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.
2003-04-22Another round of protocol changes. Backend-to-frontend messages now allTom Lane
have length words. COPY OUT reimplemented per new protocol: it doesn't need \. anymore, thank goodness. COPY BINARY to/from frontend works, at least as far as the backend is concerned --- libpq's PQgetline API is not up to snuff, and will have to be replaced with something that is null-safe. libpq uses message length words for performance improvement (no cycles wasted rescanning long messages), but not yet for error recovery.
2003-04-19Second round of FE/BE protocol changes. Frontend->backend messages nowTom Lane
have length counts, and COPY IN data is packetized into messages.
2003-01-09Move new typedef AclId into c.h, so as to avoid cluttering namespaceTom Lane
by having to include miscadmin.h into other header files.
2003-01-07SendFunctionResult should take care to detoast varlena results.Tom Lane
2003-01-01fastpath code neglected to check whether user has privileges to call theTom Lane
target function. Also, move SetQuerySnapshot() call to avoid assert failure when a fastpath call is attempted in an aborted transaction.
2002-08-24The cstring datatype can now be copied, passed around, etc. The typlenTom Lane
value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.
