2010-08-11The sanity check added to array_recv() wa a bit too tight; we mustHeikki Linnakangas
continue to accept an empty array with dimension information. array_send() can output such arrays. Per report from Vladimir Shakhov.
2010-08-05Remove the single-argument form of string_agg(). It added nothing much inTom Lane
functionality, while creating an ambiguity in usage with ORDER BY that at least two people have already gotten seriously confused by. Also, add an opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different numbers of parameters. Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.
2010-08-03Fix core dump in QTNodeCompare when tsquery_cmp() is applied to two emptyTom Lane
tsqueries. CompareTSQ has to have a guard for the case rather than blindly applying QTNodeCompare to random data past the end of the datums. Also, change QTNodeCompare to be a little less trusting: use an actual test rather than just Assert'ing that the input is sane. Problem encountered while investigating another issue (I saw a core dump in autoanalyze on a table containing multiple empty tsquery values). Back-patch to all branches with tsquery support. In HEAD, also fix some bizarre (though not outright wrong) coding in tsq_mcontains().
2010-08-02Fix an ancient typo that prevented the detection of conflicting fields whenTom Lane
interval input "invalid" was specified together with other fields. Spotted by Neil Conway with the help of a clang warning. Although this has been wrong since the interval code was written more than 10 years ago, it doesn't affect anything beyond which error message you get for a wrong input, so not worth back-patching very far.
2010-07-09Fix ruleutils' get_variable() to print something useful for Vars referencingTom Lane
resjunk outputs of subquery tlists, instead of throwing an error. Per bug #5548 from Daniel Grace. We might at some point find we ought to back-patch this further than 9.0, but I think that such Vars can only occur as resjunk members of upper-level tlists, in which case the problem can't arise because prior versions didn't print resjunk tlist items in EXPLAIN VERBOSE.

2010-06-13Fix ALTER LARGE OBJECT and GRANT ... ON LARGE OBJECT for large OIDs.Robert Haas
The previous coding failed for OIDs too large to be represented by a signed integer.
2010-05-30Change the notation for calling functions with named parameters fromTom Lane
"val AS name" to "name := val", as per recent discussion. This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch, but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable). In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now. I didn't attempt that at the moment.
2010-05-28Fix oversight in the previous patch that made LIKE throw error for \ at theTom Lane
end of the pattern: the code path that handles \ just after % should throw error too. As in the previous patch, not back-patching for fear of breaking apps that worked before.
2010-05-28Rewrite LIKE's %-followed-by-_ optimization so it really works (this timeTom Lane
for sure ;-)). It now also optimizes more cases, such as %_%_. Improve comments too. Per bug #5478. In passing, also rename the TCHAR macro to GETCHAR, because pgindent is messing with the formatting of the former (apparently it now thinks TCHAR is a typedef name). Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.
2010-05-09Adjust comments about avoiding use of printf's %.*s.Tom Lane
My initial impression that glibc was measuring the precision in characters (which is what the Linux man page says it does) was incorrect. It does take the precision to be in bytes, but it also tries to truncate the string at a character boundary. The bottom line remains the same: it will mess up if the string is not in the encoding it expects, so we need to avoid %.*s anytime there's a significant risk of that. Previous code changes are still good, but adjust the comments to reflect this knowledge. Per research by Hernan Gonzalez.
2010-05-08Work around a subtle portability problem in use of printf %s format.Tom Lane
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s" unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII. This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".
2010-04-26Add comments about why we set LC_CTYPE in WIN32 for time when we don'tBruce Momjian
actually access it, per information from Hiroshi.
2010-04-24Add C comments for recent to_char('L') fix for Win32.Bruce Momjian
2010-04-22Fix encoding issue when lc_monetary or lc_numeric are different encodingItagaki Takahiro
from lc_ctype, that could happen on Windows. We need to change lc_ctype together with lc_monetary or lc_numeric, and convert strings in lconv from lc_ctype encoding to the database encoding. The bug reported by Mikko, original patch by Hiroshi Inoue, with changes by Bruce and me.
2010-04-07Fix to_char YYY, YY, Y format codes so that FM zero-suppression really works,Tom Lane
rather than only sort-of working as the previous attempt had left it. Clean up some unnecessary differences between the way these were coded and the way the YYYY case was coded. Update the regression test cases that proved that it wasn't working.
2010-03-03Document that "Q" is ignored by to_date and to_timestamp. Add C commentBruce Momjian
about the behavior. Document that quotes in to_date, to_timestamp, to_number skip input characters.
2010-03-03Export xml.c's libxml-error-handling support so that contrib/xml2 can use itTom Lane
too, instead of duplicating the functionality (badly). I renamed xml_init to pg_xml_init, because the former seemed just a bit too generic to be safe as a global symbol. I considered likewise renaming xml_ereport to pg_xml_ereport, but felt that the reference to ereport probably made it sufficiently PG-centric already.
2010-02-27Insert a hack into get_float8_nan (both core and ecpg copies) to deal withTom Lane
the fact that NetBSD/mips is currently broken, as per buildfarm member pika. Also add regression tests to ensure that get_float8_nan and get_float4_nan are exercised even on platforms where they are not needed by float8in/float4in. Zoltán Böszörményi and Tom Lane

2010-02-23Secondary patch to fix interval to_char() for "HH" where hours >= 12.Bruce Momjian
2010-02-23Supress convertion of zero hours to '12' for intervals when usingBruce Momjian
to_char with HH, e.g. to_char(interval '0d 0h 12m 44s', 'DD HH24 MI SS'); now returns: 00 00 12 44 not: 00 12 12 44
2010-02-20Clean up handling of XactReadOnly and RecoveryInProgress checks.Tom Lane
Add some checks that seem logically necessary, in particular let's make real sure that HS slave sessions cannot create temp tables. (If they did they would think that temp tables belonging to the master's session with the same BackendId were theirs. We *must* not allow myTempNamespace to become set in a slave session.) Change setval() and nextval() so that they are only allowed on temp sequences in a read-only transaction. This seems consistent with what we allow for table modifications in read-only transactions. Since an HS slave can't have a temp sequence, this also provides a nicer cure for the setval PANIC reported by Erik Rijkers. Make the error messages more uniform, and have them mention the specific command being complained of. This seems worth the trifling amount of extra code, since people are likely to see such messages a lot more than before.
2010-02-18Provide some rather hokey ways for EXPLAIN to print FieldStore and assignmentTom Lane
ArrayRef expressions that are not in the immediate context of an INSERT or UPDATE targetlist. Such cases never arise in stored rules, so ruleutils.c hadn't tried to handle them. However, they do occur in the targetlists of plans derived from such statements, and now that EXPLAIN VERBOSE tries to print targetlists, we need some way to deal with the case. I chose to represent an assignment ArrayRef as "array[subscripts] := source", which is fairly reasonable and doesn't omit any information. However, FieldStore is problematic because the planner will fold multiple assignments to fields of the same composite column into one FieldStore, resulting in a structure that is hard to understand at all, let alone display comprehensibly. So in that case I punted and just made it print the source expression(s). Backpatch to 8.4 --- the lack of functionality exists in older releases, but doesn't seem to be important for lack of anything that would call it.
2010-02-18date_recv should accept infinities.Itagaki Takahiro
Reported by James William Pye.
2010-02-16Replace the pg_listener-based LISTEN/NOTIFY mechanism with an in-memory queue.Tom Lane
In addition, add support for a "payload" string to be passed along with each notify event. This implementation should be significantly more efficient than the old one, and is also more compatible with Hot Standby usage. There is not yet any facility for HS slaves to receive notifications generated on the master, although such a thing is possible in future. Joachim Wieland, reviewed by Jeff Davis; also hacked on by me.
2010-02-16Honor to_char() "FM" specification in YYY, YY, and Y; it was alreadyBruce Momjian
honored by YYYY. Also document Oracle "toggle" FM behavior. Per report from Guy Rouillier
2010-02-14Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros.Robert Haas
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists, GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code shorter, too. Design and review by Tom Lane.
2010-02-12Extend the set of frame options supported for window functions.Tom Lane
This patch allows the frame to start from CURRENT ROW (in either RANGE or ROWS mode), and it also adds support for ROWS n PRECEDING and ROWS n FOLLOWING start and end points. (RANGE value PRECEDING/FOLLOWING isn't there yet --- the grammar works, but that's all.) Hitoshi Harada, reviewed by Pavel Stehule
2010-02-08Create an official API function for C functions to use to check if they areTom Lane
being called as aggregates, and to get the aggregate transition state memory context if needed. Use it instead of poking directly into AggState and WindowAggState in places that shouldn't know so much. We should have done this in 8.4, probably, but better late than never. Revised version of a patch by Hitoshi Harada.
2010-02-07Create a "relation mapping" infrastructure to support changing the relfilenodesTom Lane
of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits: * The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs. * We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing shared catalogs. CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would only be visible in one database. Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed; shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared. This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap, parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid such failures during the regression tests.
2010-02-01Add string_agg aggregate functions. The one argument version concatenatesItagaki Takahiro
the input values into a string. The two argument version also does the same thing, but inserts delimiters between elements. Original patch by Pavel Stehule, reviewed by David E. Wheeler and me.
2010-01-28Add functions to reset the statistics counter for a single table/index orMagnus Hagander
a single function.
2010-01-25Add get_bit/set_bit functions for bit strings, paralleling those for bytea,Tom Lane
and implement OVERLAY() for bit strings and bytea. In passing also convert text OVERLAY() to a true built-in, instead of relying on a SQL function. Leonardo F, reviewed by Kevin Grittner
2010-01-23Insert CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls into loops in dbsize.c, to ensure thatTom Lane
the various disk-size-reporting functions will respond to query cancel reasonably promptly even in very large databases. Per report from Kevin Grittner.
2010-01-21Adjust psql to use pg_get_triggerdef(pretty=true) to remove extra ()'sItagaki Takahiro
from description of triggers with WHEN clause. Thanks to Brad T. Sliger for the review.
2010-01-19Add pg_stat_reset_shared('bgwriter') to reset the cluster-wide sharedMagnus Hagander
statistics of the bgwriter. Greg Smith
2010-01-19Add pg_table_size() and pg_indexes_size() to provide more user-friendlyTom Lane
wrappers around the pg_relation_size() function. Bernd Helmle, reviewed by Greg Smith
2010-01-17Improve the handling of SET CONSTRAINTS commands by having them searchTom Lane
pg_constraint before searching pg_trigger. This allows saner handling of corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable" rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable. Per a gripe several months ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski. To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers, we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint. However, in return we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents a fairly sizable space savings. I also replaced the tgisconstraint column with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was internally generated rather than being user-created. In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable. Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to a nominally deferrable FK constraint. The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.
2010-01-14Add point_ops opclass for GiST.Teodor Sigaev
2010-01-12Please tablespace directories in their own subdirectory so pg_migratorBruce Momjian
can upgrade clusters without renaming the tablespace directories. New directory structure format is, e.g.: $PGDATA/pg_tblspc/20981/PG_8.5_201001061/719849/83292814
2010-01-12Fix aclexplode to not explode on a zero-entry ACL array.Tom Lane
(An Assert is no substitute for thinking clearly :-() Minor style kibitzing too. Per report from Robert Treat.
2010-01-07Fix 3-parameter form of bit substring() to throw error for negative length,Tom Lane
as required by SQL standard.
2010-01-07Make bit/varbit substring() treat any negative length as meaning "all the restTom Lane
of the string". The previous coding treated only -1 that way, and would produce an invalid result value for other negative values. We ought to fix it so that 2-parameter bit substring() is a different C function and the 3-parameter form throws error for negative length, but that takes a pg_proc change which is impractical in the back branches; and in any case somebody might be relying on -1 working this way. So just do this as a back-patchable fix.
2010-01-07Remove all the special-case code for INT64_IS_BUSTED, per decision thatTom Lane
we're not going to support that anymore. I did keep the 64-bit-CRC-with-32-bit-arithmetic code, since it has a performance excuse to live. It's a bit moot since that's all ifdef'd out, of course.
2010-01-05Support ALTER TABLESPACE name SET/RESET ( tablespace_options ).Robert Haas
This patch only supports seq_page_cost and random_page_cost as parameters, but it provides the infrastructure to scalably support many more. In particular, we may want to add support for effective_io_concurrency, but I'm leaving that as future work for now. Thanks to Tom Lane for design help and Alvaro Herrera for the review.
