2002-03-06Fix syntax error introduced by patch.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-06I've attached a patch which implements Bob Jenkin's hash function forBruce Momjian
PostgreSQL. This hash function replaces the one used by hash indexes and the catalog cache. Hash joins use a different, relatively poor-quality hash function, but I'll fix that later. As suggested by Tom Lane, this patch also changes the size of the fixed hash table used by the catalog cache to be a power-of-2 (instead of a prime: I chose 256 instead of 257). This allows the catcache to lookup hash buckets using a simple bitmask. This should improve the performance of the catalog cache slightly, since the previous method (modulo a prime) was slow. In my tests, this improves the performance of hash indexes by between 4% and 8%; the performance when using btree indexes or seqscans is basically unchanged. Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>
2002-03-06Ok. Updated patch attached.Bruce Momjian
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs - drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs - dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing [ ADDED TO /doc] Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2]; Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain. Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain(). Some documentation differences from earlier. If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain> option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing those until the system table structure settles for pg_type. CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly before MergeAttributes(). Rod Taylor

2002-03-06Add missing Unicode multibyte files.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-06Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.

2002-03-05I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVSBruce Momjian
(current as of a few hours ago.) This patch: 1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines. 2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to assume chunks are returned in order). 3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the beginning of the string. 4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!). All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column. 4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this patch.(I plan to return to it separately). 5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE. John Gray
2002-03-05I was digging through the GiST code, and figured I'd fix up some of theBruce Momjian
"bad smell" in that code. Stuff like function parameters that aren't used, typos in the comments, comparison between signed and unsigned ints, etc. Attached is a pretty trivial patch; it compiles, but beyond that completely untested. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3. Neil Conway
2002-03-05Previous patch to mark UNION outputs with common typmod (if any) breaksTom Lane
three-or-more-way UNIONs, as per example from Josh Berkus. Cause is a fragile assumption that one tlist's entries will exactly match another. Restructure code to make that assumption a little less fragile.
2002-03-04Add Assert check to catch vsnprintf overrunning its buffer. (Seen toTom Lane
occur on Solaris 7 in 64-bit mode, for one.)
2002-03-04Make port makefile slightly less crufty.Tom Lane
2002-03-04If presented db path has a trailing slash, remove it to avoid generatingTom Lane
double slashes in generated filenames. This is not strictly necessary on standard Unixen, but I'm being a neatnik...
2002-03-04Fix bug in extract/date_part for milliseconds/miscroseconds andTatsuo Ishii
timestamp/timestamptz combo. Now extract/date_part returns seconds*1000 or 1000000 + fraction part as the manual stats. regression test are also fixed. See the thread in pgsql-hackers: Subject: Re: [HACKERS] timestamp_part() bug? Date: Sat, 02 Mar 2002 11:29:53 +0900
2002-03-04Further work on elog cleanup: fix some bogosities in elog's logic aboutTom Lane
when to send what to which, prevent recursion by introducing new COMMERROR elog level for client-communication problems, get rid of direct writes to stderr in backend/libpq files, prevent non-error elogs from going to client during the authentication cycle.
2002-03-03Catcaches can now store negative entries as well as positive ones, toTom Lane
speed up repetitive failed searches; per pghackers discussion in late January. inval.c logic substantially simplified, since we can now treat inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned. Some repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has non-self-consistent catalog entries. With the new inval code, that resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.
2002-03-03Default server_min_messages is NOTICE.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-02Some kibitzing about appropriate elog levels for sinval messages.Tom Lane
2002-03-02Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG isBruce Momjian
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REALLYFATAL => PANIC STOP => PANIC New INFO level the prints to client by default New LOG level the prints to server log by default Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG Remove debug_level GUC parameter elog() numbers now start at 10 Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog() Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
2002-03-02Add code to allow profiling of backends on Linux: save and restore theTom Lane
profiling timer setting across fork(). The correct way to build a profilable backend on Linux is now gmake PROFILE="-pg -DLINUX_PROFILE"
2002-03-02Array slice extraction should produce a result array with index lowerTom Lane
bounds of 1, not the lower bound subscripts of the original slice. Per bug report from Andre Holzner, 1-Feb-02.
2002-03-01User and database-specific session defaults for run-time configurationPeter Eisentraut
variables. New commands ALTER DATABASE ... SET and ALTER USER ... SET.
2002-03-01array_ref() should set isNull to false explicitly if it's not going toPeter Eisentraut
return NULL.
2002-03-01Fix thinko: cost_mergejoin must pay attention to which side of theTom Lane
mergeclause is which when extracting selectivity info.
2002-03-01Second thoughts dept: arrange to cache mergejoin scan selectivityTom Lane
in RestrictInfo nodes, instead of recomputing on every use.
2002-03-01Teach planner about the idea that a mergejoin won't necessarily readTom Lane
both input streams to the end. If one variable's range is much less than the other, an indexscan-based merge can win by not scanning all of the other table. Per example from Reinhard Max.
2002-02-27Tweak pg_exec_query_string so that we close down transaction commandTom Lane
before reporting command-complete message for the final command of a query string. This way, any errors detected during finish_xact_command (such as RI violations) will appear to be part of the final command, rather than coming out after the command is reported complete. This avoids confusing PQendcopy and other not-overly-bright clients. Per Lee Harr's bug report of 25-Feb-02.
2002-02-27Paranoia about data structure lifetime ...Tom Lane
2002-02-27Clean up BeginCommand and related routines. BeginCommand and EndCommandTom Lane
are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from pg_exec_query_string. BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple receiver setup routines in printtup.c. This makes for a clean distinction between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code was quite ad hoc. Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for ExecutorRun a little bit.
2002-02-27Fix bug in COPY FROM when DELIMITER is not in ASCII range.Tatsuo Ishii
See pgsql-bugs/pgsql-hackers discussion "COPY FROM is not 8bit clean" around 2002/02/26 for more details -- Tatsuo Ishii
2002-02-26Restructure command-completion-report code so that there is just oneTom Lane
report for each received SQL command, regardless of rewriting activity. Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT commands that have actions added by rules. Fernando Nasser and Tom Lane.
2002-02-25Fix for PAM error message display:Bruce Momjian

2002-02-25Add a large number of time zones to the lookup table.Thomas G. Lockhart
Fix a few apparently-wrong TZ vs DTZ declarations.
2002-02-25This patch will allow arbitrary levels of analyze / rewritingBruce Momjian
by making the static variables extra_before and extra_after automatic so we can use recursion. It gets much easier to generate extra commands now, and one can rest assured that the extra commands will be properly analyzed/rewritten. Without this patch, if a command produced by transformation tries to use these static lists their first contents would be lost with unpredictable results. I know I could fix this by just using nconc() instead of assignments, but the resulting order of the commands would not be exactly what one could expect. -- Fernando Nasser
2002-02-25I've attached a simple patch which should improve the performance ofBruce Momjian
hashname() and reduce the penalty incured when NAMEDATALEN is increased. I posted this to -hackers a couple days ago, and there haven't been any major complaints. It passes the regression tests. See -hackers for more discussion, as well as the suggestion from Tom Lane on which this patch is based. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3. Cheers, Neil Conway
2002-02-25Re-add equals documentation with CREATE DATABASE.Bruce Momjian
