2000-06-22Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on somePeter Eisentraut
option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this. Removed permissions check on SHOW command. Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the official data model better. Adjust documentation. Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself, don't wait for the magic -p switch. Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary. Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode 0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.
2000-06-15Final #include cleanup.Bruce Momjian
2000-06-04Removed ELOG_TIMESTAMPS #define in favor of two run-timePeter Eisentraut
configuration options `Log_timestamp' and `Log_pid'.
2000-06-04New ps display code, works on more platforms.Peter Eisentraut
Install a default configuration file. Clean up some funny business in the config file code.
2000-06-02Remove NT-specific file open defines by defining our own open macros forBruce Momjian
"rb" and "wb".
2000-06-02Keep CVS quiet about derived file guc-file.c.Tom Lane
2000-06-01The definition for "ProcessConfigFile()" in guc-file.l does not matchBruce Momjian
the prototype in guc.h. The following patch corrects that. Billy G. Allie
2000-06-01Simplify overly-clever Make rule, which evidently confuses at leastTom Lane
some versions of gmake (mine didn't do the right thing, anyway).
2000-05-31The heralded `Grand Unified Configuration scheme' (GUC)Peter Eisentraut
That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration, some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste. pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K, -Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q). Added to configure an --enable-syslog option. changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
2000-05-29Generated header files parse.h and fmgroids.h are now copied intoTom Lane
the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere. Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.
2000-05-26Fix too long syslog message problemTatsuo Ishii
2000-04-12Ye-old pgindent run. Same 4-space tabs.Bruce Momjian
2000-04-10The constant in backend/utils/misc/trace.c, line 32 limits the length ofBruce Momjian
logged queries to 1024, truncating longer queries. That is about half of the size I need (I have a union that is 2K long). Can someone consider bumping it to 4K or so? Patch attached... Regards, Ed Loehr
2000-03-08Bruce and all:Bruce Momjian
Here's a patch to fix the " '.' not allowed in db path" problem I ran into. I removed '.' from the set of illegial characters, but added backtick. I also included an explicit test for attempting include a reference to a parent dir. How that? Ross
2000-02-13contrib-array.patchBruce Momjian
this is an old patch which I have already submitted and never seen in the sources. It corrects the datatype oids used in some iterator functions. This bug has been reported to me by many other people. contrib-datetime.patch some code contributed by Reiner Dassing <dassing@wettzell.ifag.de> contrib-makefiles.patch fixes all my contrib makefiles which don't work with some compilers, as reported to me by another user. contrib-miscutil.patch an old patch for one of my old contribs. contrib-string.patch a small change to the c-like text output functions. Now the '{' is escaped only at the beginning of the string to distinguish it from arrays, and the '}' is no more escaped. elog-lineno.patch adds the current lineno of CopyFrom to elog messages. This is very useful when you load a 1 million tuples table from an external file and there is a bad value somehere. Currently you get an error message but you can't know where is the bad data. The patch uses a variable which was declared static in copy.c. The variable is now exported and initialized to 0. It is always cleared at the end of the copy or at the first elog message or when the copy is canceled. I know this is very ugly but I can't find any better way of knowing where the copy fails and I have this problem quite often. plperl-makefile.patch fixes a typo in a makefile, but the error must be elsewhere because it is a file generated automatically. Please have a look. tprintf-timestamp.patch restores the original 2-digit year format, assuming that the two century digits don't carry much information and that '000202' is easier to read than 20000202. Being only a log file it shouldn't break anything. Please apply the patches before the next scheduled code freeze. I also noticed that some of the contribs don't compile correcly. Should we ask people to fix their code or rename their makefiles so that they are ignored by the top makefile? -- Massimo Dal Zotto

2000-01-19Removed MBFLAGS from makefiles since it's now done in include/config.h.Peter Eisentraut
2000-01-14* User management commands no longer user pg_exec_query_dest -> more robustPeter Eisentraut
* Let unprivileged users change their own passwords. * The password is now an Sconst in the parser, which better reflects its text datatype and also forces users to quote them. * If your password is NULL you won't be written to the password file, meaning you can't connect until you have a password set up (if you use password authentication). * When you drop a user that owns a database you get an error. The database is not gone.

1999-12-13New LDOUT makefile variable for QNX os.Bruce Momjian
1999-12-09Make LD -r as macros that can be changed for QNX.Bruce Momjian
1999-11-24Add pg_statistic index, add missing Hiroshi file.Bruce Momjian
1999-11-22Add system indexes to match all caches.Bruce Momjian
Make all system indexes unique. Make all cache loads use system indexes. Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables. Rename cache names to be clearer.
1999-11-07New NameStr macro to convert Name to Str. No need for var.data anymore.Bruce Momjian
Fewer calls to nameout. Better use of RelationGetRelationName.
1999-10-25Standardize on MAXPGPATH as the size of a file pathname buffer,Tom Lane
eliminating some wildly inconsistent coding in various parts of the system. I set MAXPGPATH = 1024 in config.h.in. If anyone is really convinced that there ought to be a configure-time test to set the value, go right ahead ... but I think it's a waste of time.
1999-09-27Massimo's SET FSYNC and SHOW PG_OPTIONS changes, without SET QUERY_LIMIT.Bruce Momjian
1999-09-24Several changes here, not very related but touching some of the same files.Tom Lane
* Buffer refcount cleanup (per my "progress report" to pghackers, 9/22). * Add links to backend PROC structs to sinval's array of per-backend info, and use these links for routines that need to check the state of all backends (rather than the slow, complicated search of the ShmemIndex hashtable that was used before). Add databaseOID to PROC structs. * Use this to implement an interlock that prevents DESTROY DATABASE of a database containing running backends. (It's a little tricky to prevent a concurrently-starting backend from getting in there, since the new backend is not able to lock anything at the time it tries to look up its database in pg_database. My solution is to recheck that the DB is OK at the end of InitPostgres. It may not be a 100% solution, but it's a lot better than no interlock at all...) * In ALTER TABLE RENAME, flush buffers for the relation before doing the rename of the physical files, to ensure we don't get failures later from mdblindwrt(). * Update TRUNCATE patch so that it actually compiles against current sources :-(. You should do "make clean all" after pulling these changes.
1999-09-18Mega-commit to make heap_open/heap_openr/heap_close take anTom Lane
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or 'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi. Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the Relation struct layout slightly. Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
1999-09-11Eliminate elog()'s hardwired limit on length of an error message.Tom Lane
This change seems necessary in conjunction with long queries, and it cleans up some bogosity in connection with long EXPLAIN texts anyway. Note that current libpq will accept any length error message (at least until it runs out of memory); prior versions have a limit of 8K, but will cleanly discard excess error text, so there shouldn't be any big compatibility problems with old clients.
1999-07-17 Move some system includes into c.h, and remove duplicates.Bruce Momjian

1999-06-12Reversed out Massimo patch.Bruce Momjian
1999-06-12I don't like last minute patches before the final freeze, but I believe thatBruce Momjian
this one could be useful for people experiencing out-of-memory crashes while executing queries which retrieve or use a very large number of tuples. The problem happens when storage is allocated for functions results used in a large query, for example: select upper(name) from big_table; select big_table.array[1] from big_table; select count(upper(name)) from big_table; This patch is a dirty hack that fixes the out-of-memory problem for the most common cases, like the above ones. It is not the final solution for the problem but it can work for some people, so I'm posting it. The patch should be safe because all changes are under #ifdef. Furthermore the feature can be enabled or disabled at runtime by the `free_tuple_memory' options in the pg_options file. The option is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled at runtime to have any effect. To enable the patch add the follwing line to Makefile.custom: CUSTOM_COPT += -DFREE_TUPLE_MEMORY To enable the option at runtime add the following line to pg_option: free_tuple_memory=1 Massimo
1999-06-05trace.patch (compilation error)Marc G. Fournier
the gettimeofday doesn't compile under Linux with glibc2 because the DST_NONE constant is no more defined. It seems that this code (written by me) has always be wrong but for some reason working. From: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>

1999-05-25pgindent run over code.Bruce Momjian
1999-05-22Modify backend switch parsing to prevent 'insecure' switchesTom Lane
from being accepted when they are passed from client connection request. Get rid of a couple that no longer do anything (like -P).
