2004-01-21Repair error apparently introduced in the initial coding of GUC: theTom Lane
default value for geqo_effort is supposed to be 40, not 1. The actual 'genetic' component of the GEQO algorithm has been practically disabled since 7.1 because of this mistake. Improve documentation while at it.
2004-01-21If we don't have shared libraries, we don't have conversions. MakeTom Lane
conversion_create.sql be empty (except for a helpful comment) in this case. Allows initdb to succeed with --disable-shared.
2004-01-21Fix bit-rot in support for building with --disable-shared. This patchTom Lane
gets us past 'make install', but initdb still fails for lack of conversion libraries ...
2004-01-19Repair problem identified by Olivier Prenant: ALTER DATABASE SET search_pathTom Lane
should not be too eager to reject paths involving unknown schemas, since it can't really tell whether the schemas exist in the target database. (Also, when reading pg_dumpall output, it could be that the schemas don't exist yet, but eventually will.) ALTER USER SET has a similar issue. So, reduce the normal ERROR to a NOTICE when checking search_path values for these commands. Supporting this requires changing the API for GUC assign_hook functions, which causes the patch to touch a lot of places, but the changes are conceptually trivial.
2004-01-19Add a hash table to cache lookups of 'C'-language functions (that is,Tom Lane
dynamically loaded C functions). Some limited testing suggests that this puts the lookup speed for external functions just about on par with built-in functions. Per discussion with Eric Ridge.
2004-01-17Repair misestimation of indexscan CPU costs. When an indexqual containsTom Lane
a run-time key (that is, a nonconstant expression compared to the index variable), the key is evaluated just once per scan, but we were charging costs as though it were evaluated once per visited index entry.
2004-01-08[Forced commit to add log message that I fat-fingered last time]Tom Lane
Give a more reasonable error message when lock file exists but has zero length; prior code confused this with could-not-read-file case.

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.
2004-01-06Apply the core parts of Dennis Bjorklund's patch to allow functionTom Lane
parameters to be declared with names. pg_proc has a column to store names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes in before the tree drifts under me. initdb forced due to pg_proc change.
2004-01-06Remove unused 'noversion' command-line option processing from theNeil Conway
backend.
2004-01-06Make the 'wal_debug' GUC variable a boolean (rather than an integer), andNeil Conway
hide it behind #ifdef WAL_DEBUG blocks.
2004-01-05Adjust indexscan planning logic to keep RestrictInfo nodes associatedTom Lane
with index qual clauses in the Path representation. This saves a little work during createplan and (probably more importantly) allows reuse of cached selectivity estimates during indexscan planning. Also fix latent bug: wrong plan would have been generated for a 'special operator' used in a nestloop-inner-indexscan join qual, because the special operator would not have gotten into the list of quals to recheck. This bug is only latent because at present the special-operator code could never trigger on a join qual, but sooner or later someone will want to do it.
2004-01-04There's no longer any good reason for genbki.sh and Gen_fmgrtab.sh toTom Lane
run the data through cpp, and we know of at least one platform where unusual cpp behavior breaks the process. So remove the cpp step, and make consequent simplifications.
2003-12-29Use hash table name, not one-size-fits-all 'DynaHashTable', to identifyTom Lane
memory contexts belonging to hash tables. Makes the memory stats printout a little more useful.
2003-12-29Using canonicalize_qual() to get rid of duplicate index predicateTom Lane
conditions is overkill; set_union() does the job about as well, and much more efficiently. Furthermore this avoids assuming that canonicalize_qual() will check for duplicate clauses at all, which it may not always do.
2003-12-28Clean up the usage of canonicalize_qual(): in particular, be consistentTom Lane
about whether it is applied before or after eval_const_expressions(). I believe there were some corner cases where the system would fail to recognize that a partial index is applicable because of the previous inconsistency. Store normal rather than 'implicit AND' representations of constraints and index predicates in the catalogs. initdb forced due to representation change of constraints/predicates.

2003-12-23Fix a number of places where reconfiguring with a different installationTom Lane
prefix would fail, because the new path did not get propagated to where it needed to be. Note this would fail even with --enable-depend.

2003-12-20In my mind there were two categories of open issuesBruce Momjian
a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about outputting this format) and b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current postgresql shorthand of '1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute in favor of the ISO-8601 'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month. Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that did not break backward compatability, including the ability to output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to iso8601basic. Interval values can now be written as ISO 8601 time intervals, using the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with the character 'P', followed by a string of values followed by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and time parts of the interval. Ron Mayer
2003-12-19Make to_hex() behave portably on negative input values (treat them asTom Lane
unsigned integers). Per report from Jim Crate.
2003-12-19Use a shutdown callback to ensure proper clean up when rescanningJoe Conway
partially-evaluated SRFs. Per report found here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2003-12/msg00851.php
2003-12-17Fix DecodeInterval to handle '-0.1' sanely, per gripe from Tilo Schwarz.Tom Lane
2003-12-12This patch properly sets the prototype for the on_shmem_exit andPeter Eisentraut
on_proc_exit functions, and adjust all other related code to use the proper types too. by Kurt Roeckx
2003-12-07Repair indexed bytea like operations, and related selectivityJoe Conway
functionality. Per bug report by Alvar Freude: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2003-12/msg00022.php
2003-12-03Added new group of read-only GUC variables to allow simple accessJoe Conway
to certain compile-time options (FUNC_MAX_ARGS, INDEX_MAX_KEYS, NAMEDATALEN, BLCKSZ, HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP). Also added "category", "short_desc", and "extra_desc" to the pg_settings view. Per recent discussion here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-11/msg00363.php
2003-12-03Planner failed to be smart about binary-compatible expressions in pathkeysTom Lane
and hash bucket-size estimation. Issue has been there awhile but is more critical in 7.4 because it affects varchar columns. Per report from Greg Stark.
2003-12-02Code and docs review for numeric-factorial patch.Tom Lane
2003-12-01This patch adds a new GUC var, "default_with_oids", which follows theBruce Momjian
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated. Neil Conway
2003-12-01Attached is a patch implementing factorial(), returning numeric. PointsBruce Momjian
to note: 1) arttype is numeric. I thought this was the best way of allowing arbitarily large factorials, even though factorial(2^63) is a large number. Happy to change to integers if this is overkill. 2) since we're accepting numeric arguments, the patch tests for floats. If a numeric is passed with non-zero decimal portion, an error is raised since (from memory) they are undefined. Gavin Sherry
2003-12-01netmask() and hostmask() functions should return maximum-length masklen,Tom Lane
per gripe from Joe Sunday.
2003-12-01Seems there are three GUC variables that are defined as "Shows ..."Bruce Momjian
while you can actually set them with SET. This applied patch changes the wording from "Show" to "Set".
2003-11-30Make PQescapeBytea and byteaout consistent with each other, andJoe Conway
octal escape all octets outside the range 0x20 to 0x7e. This fixes the problem pointed out by Sergey Yatskevich here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2003-11/msg00140.php

2003-11-19Background writer processJan Wieck
This first part of the background writer does no syncing at all. It's only purpose is to keep the LRU heads clean so that regular backends seldom to never have to call write(). Jan
2003-11-16Fix datetime input parsing to accept YYYY-MONTHNAME-DD and related syntaxes,Tom Lane
which had been unintentionally broken by recent changes to tighten up the DateStyle rules for all-numeric date input. Add documentation and regression tests for this, too.
2003-11-16Changed parameter name for shared cache status report interval toJan Wieck
debug_shared_buffers = <seconds> as per previous discussion. Jan
2003-11-132nd try for the ARC strategy.Jan Wieck
I added a couple more Assertions while tracking down the exact cause of the former bug. All 93 regression tests pass now. Jan

Jan
2003-11-13Replacement of the buffer replacement strategy with an ARCJan Wieck
algorithm adopted for PostgreSQL. Jan
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.
2003-11-12Cleanup for recent .exe Win32 fix.Bruce Momjian
2003-11-11Add .exe to Win32 stat calls. Don't symlink postmaster on Win32.Bruce Momjian
2003-11-10Remove rcsid CVS header variable --- not used.Bruce Momjian
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.
2003-11-08Fix process-status handling for OS X 10.3.Tom Lane
2003-11-07zero_damaged_pages must absolutely NOT be marked GUC_DISALLOW_IN_FILE,Tom Lane
else it cannot be used to handle failures detected during WAL replay. Fortunately this flag isn't actually enforced yet, but get it right.
