2008-09-15Fix caching of foreign-key-checking queries so that when a replan is needed,Tom Lane
we regenerate the SQL query text not merely the plan derived from it. This is needed to handle contingencies such as renaming of a table or column used in an FK. Pre-8.3, such cases worked despite the lack of replanning (because the cached plan needn't actually change), so this is a regression. Per bug #4417 from Benjamin Bihler.
2008-04-01Add SPI-level support for executing SQL commands with one-time-use plans,Tom Lane
that is commands that have out-of-line parameters but the plan is prepared assuming that the parameter values are constants. This is needed for the plpgsql EXECUTE USING patch, but will probably have use elsewhere. This commit includes the SPI functions and documentation, but no callers nor regression tests. The upcoming EXECUTE USING patch will provide regression-test coverage. I thought committing this separately made sense since it's logically a distinct feature.

2007-08-15Repair problems occurring when multiple RI updates have to be done to the sameTom Lane
row within one query: we were firing check triggers before all the updates were done, leading to bogus failures. Fix by making the triggers queued by an RI update go at the end of the outer query's trigger event list, thereby effectively making the processing "breadth-first". This was indeed how it worked pre-8.0, so the bug does not occur in the 7.x branches. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
2007-07-25Rename DLLIMPORT macro to PGDLLIMPORT to avoid conflict withMagnus Hagander
third party includes (like tcl) that define DLLIMPORT.
2007-04-16Expose more cursor-related functionality in SPI: specifically, allowTom Lane
access to the planner's cursor-related planning options, and provide new FETCH/MOVE routines that allow access to the full power of those commands. Small refactoring of planner(), pg_plan_query(), and pg_plan_queries() APIs to make it convenient to pass the planning options down from SPI. This is the core-code portion of Pavel Stehule's patch for scrollable cursor support in plpgsql; I'll review and apply the plpgsql changes separately.
2007-03-25Remove the prohibition on executing cursor commands through SPI_execute.Tom Lane
Vadim had included this restriction in the original design of the SPI code, but I'm darned if I can see a reason for it. I left the macro definition of SPI_ERROR_CURSOR in place, so as not to needlessly break any SPI callers that are checking for it, but that code will never actually be returned anymore.
2007-03-15Make use of plancache module for SPI plans. In particular, since plpgsqlTom Lane
uses SPI plans, this finally fixes the ancient gotcha that you can't drop and recreate a temp table used by a plpgsql function. Along the way, clean up SPI's API a little bit by declaring SPI plan pointers as "SPIPlanPtr" instead of "void *". This is cosmetic but helps to forestall simple programming mistakes. (I have changed some but not all of the callers to match; there are still some "void *"'s in contrib and the PL's. This is intentional so that we can see if anyone's compiler complains about it.)

2006-08-27Add new return codes SPI_OK_INSERT_RETURNING etc to the SPI API.Tom Lane
Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also, fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement returning tuples. Per recent discussion.

2005-05-02Change SPI functions to use a `long' when specifying the number of tuplesNeil Conway
to produce when running the executor. This is consistent with the internal executor APIs (such as ExecutorRun), which also use a long for this purpose. It also allows FETCH_ALL to be passed -- since FETCH_ALL is defined as LONG_MAX, this wouldn't have worked on platforms where int and long are of different sizes. Per report from Tzahi Fadida.
2005-03-29Add SPI_getnspname(), including documentation.Neil Conway
2004-11-16Rethink plpgsql's way of handling SPI execution during an exception block.Tom Lane
We don't really want to start a new SPI connection, just keep using the old one; otherwise we have memory management problems as illustrated by John Kennedy's bug report of today. This requires a bit of a hack to ensure the SPI stack state is properly restored, but then again what we were doing before was a hack too, strictly speaking. Add a regression test to cover this case.
2004-09-16Restructure subtransaction handling to reduce resource consumption,Tom Lane
as per recent discussions. Invent SubTransactionIds that are managed like CommandIds (ie, counter is reset at start of each top transaction), and use these instead of TransactionIds to keep track of subtransaction status in those modules that need it. This means that a subtransaction does not need an XID unless it actually inserts/modifies rows in the database. Accordingly, don't assign it an XID nor take a lock on the XID until it tries to do that. This saves a lot of overhead for subtransactions that are only used for error recovery (eg plpgsql exceptions). Also, arrange to release a subtransaction's XID lock as soon as the subtransaction exits, in both the commit and abort cases. This avoids holding many unique locks after a long series of subtransactions. The price is some additional overhead in XactLockTableWait, but that seems acceptable. Finally, restructure the state machine in xact.c to have a more orthogonal set of states for subtransactions.
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.

2004-07-31Be more consistent about reporting SPI errors in the various PLs.Tom Lane
Create a shared function to convert a SPI error code into a string (replacing near-duplicate code in several PLs), and use it anywhere that a SPI function call error is reported.
2004-07-01Nested transactions. There is still much left to do, especially on theTom Lane
performance front, but with feature freeze upon us I think it's time to drive a stake in the ground and say that this will be in 7.5. Alvaro Herrera, with some help from Tom Lane.
2004-04-01Replace TupleTableSlot convention for whole-row variables and functionTom Lane
results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums. This commit does not in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak associated with evaluation of whole-row variables. However, it lays the groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps some other useful features as well. Per my proposal of a few days ago.

2003-12-02Add a warning to AtEOXact_SPI() to catch cases where the currentJoe Conway

2003-10-01Repair RI trigger visibility problems (this time for sure ;-)) per recentTom Lane
discussion on pgsql-hackers: in READ COMMITTED mode we just have to force a QuerySnapshot update in the trigger, but in SERIALIZABLE mode we have to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.
2003-09-25Get rid of ReferentialIntegritySnapshotOverride by extending Executor APITom Lane
to allow es_snapshot to be set to SnapshotNow rather than a query snapshot. This solves a bug reported by Wade Klaver, wherein triggers fired as a result of RI cascade updates could misbehave.

2003-03-10Restructure parsetree representation of DECLARE CURSOR: now it's aTom Lane
utility statement (DeclareCursorStmt) with a SELECT query dangling from it, rather than a SELECT query with a few unusual fields in it. Add code to determine whether a planned query can safely be run backwards. If DECLARE CURSOR specifies SCROLL, ensure that the plan can be run backwards by adding a Materialize plan node if it can't. Without SCROLL, you get an error if you try to fetch backwards from a cursor that can't handle it. (There is still some discussion about what the exact behavior should be, but this is necessary infrastructure in any case.) Along the way, make EXPLAIN DECLARE CURSOR work.
2002-12-30Adjust Tcl-related code to compile cleanly with Tcl 8.4 (add const modifiers asTom Lane
needed). Some desultory const-ification of SPI interface to support this.
2002-12-13Phase 3 of read-only-plans project: ExecInitExpr now builds expressionTom Lane
execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting this property.

2001-08-02Add a SPI_copytupledesc function that parallels SPI_copytuple --- ie,Tom Lane
it copies the tupdesc into upper-executor memory. This is necessary for returning tuple descriptors without leaking all of lower exec memory.
2001-05-21Enhancement of SPI to get access to portalsJan Wieck
- New functions to create a portal using a prepared/saved SPI plan or lookup an existing portal by name. - Functions to fetch/move from/in portals. Results are placed in the usual SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable, so the entire set of utility functions can be used to gain attribute access. - Prepared/saved SPI plans now use their own memory context and SPI_freeplan(plan) can remove them. - Tuple result sets (SPI_tuptable) now uses it's own memory context and can be free'd by SPI_freetuptable(tuptab). Enhancement of PL/pgSQL - Uses generic named portals internally in FOR ... SELECT loops to avoid running out of memory on huge result sets. - Support for CURSOR and REFCURSOR syntax using the new SPI functionality. Cursors used internally only need no explicit transaction block. Refcursor variables can be used inside of explicit transaction block to pass cursors between main application and functions. Jan
2001-02-19Change plpgsql's GET DIAGNOSTICS statement to use SQL99-compatibleTom Lane
syntax. Fix the RESULT_OID case, which never worked. Add documentation.
2001-02-10Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: thereTom Lane
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand. Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
2000-06-28First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/READMETom Lane
for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long- standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single query string crashing. Also, out-of-memory is now considered a recoverable ERROR, not FATAL. Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around memory management. Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and backend startup.
