setting timezone-related variables during transaction start. They were
not used anyway in platforms that HAVE_TM_ZONE or HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE,
which it appears is *all* the platforms we are currently supporting.
For platforms that have neither, we now only support UTC or numeric-
offset-from-UTC timezones.

now knows what to do upon hitting a dead page (in theory anyway, it's
untested...). Add a post-VACUUM-cleanup entry point for index AMs, to
provide a place for dead-page scavenging to happen.
Also, fix oversight that broke btpo_prev links in temporary indexes.

support btree compaction, as per proposal of a few days ago. btree index
pages no longer store parent links, instead they have a level indicator
(counting up from zero for leaf pages). The FixBTree recovery logic is
removed, and replaced by code that detects missing parent-level insertions
during WAL replay. Also, generate appropriate WAL entries when updating
btree metapage and when building a btree index from scratch. I believe
btree indexes are now completely WAL-legal for the first time.
initdb forced due to index and WAL changes.

answer when SET TIMEZONE has been done since the start of the current
transaction. Per bug report from Robert Haas.
I plan some futher cleanup in HEAD, but this is a low-risk patch for
the immediate issue in 7.3.

implementation
of '\e' history tracking for systems that have a readline compatability
library without replace_history_entry. I fall back to pushing the query
onto the history stack after the \e, rather than replacing it.
The patch adds one more place to look for readline headers, and a test
for replace_history_entry. I've only included the patch for configure.in

RelOid_pg_class, and transaction locks XactLockTableId. RelId is renamed
to objId.
- LockObject() and UnlockObject() functions created, and their use
sprinkled throughout the code to do descent locking for domains and
types. They accept lock modes AccessShare and AccessExclusive, as we
only really need a 'read' and 'write' lock at the moment. Most locking
cases are held until the end of the transaction.
This fixes the cases Tom mentioned earlier in regards to locking with
Domains. If the patch is good, I'll work on cleaning up issues with
other database objects that have this problem (most of them).

functions which limited the maximum date for a timestamp to AD 1465001.
The new limit is AD 5874897.
The files affected are:
doc/src/sgml/datatype.sgml:
Documentation change due to patch. Included is a notice about
the reduced range when using an eight-byte integer for timestamps.
src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c:
Replacement functions for j2date() and date2j() functions.
src/include/utils/datetime.h:
Corrected a bug with the limit on the earliest possible date,
Nov 23,-4713 has a Julian day count of -1. The earliest possible
date should be Nov 24, -4713 with a day count of 0.
src/test/regress/expected/horology-no-DST-before-1970.out:
src/test/regress/expected/horology-solaris-1947.out:
src/test/regress/expected/horology.out:
Copies of expected output for regression testing.
Note: Only horology.out has been physically tested. I do not have access
to a Solaris box and I don't know how to provoke the "pre-1970" test.
src/test/regress/sql/horology.sql:
Added some test cases to check extended range.

the outer query. (The implementation is a bit klugy, but it would take
nontrivial restructuring to make it nicer, which this is probably not
worth.) This avoids unnecessary sort steps in examples like
SELECT foo,count(*) FROM (SELECT ... ORDER BY foo,bar) sub GROUP BY foo
which means there is now a reasonable technique for controlling the
order of inputs to custom aggregates, even in the grouping case.

Having gotten no objections (actually, no response at all), I can only
assume no one had heartburn with this change. The attached patch covers
the first of the two proposals, i.e. restricting the target list to only
one set returning function.

anymore, so no reason to keep it around AFAICS. I also fixed a
grammatical error in a comment.

takes two parameters, an OID x and an integer y, and returns "true" with
probability 1/y (the OID argument is ignored). This can be useful -- for
example, it can be used to select a random sampling of the rows in a
table (which is what the "random" regression test uses it for).
This patch removes that function, because it was old and messy. The old
function had the following problems:
- it was undocumented
- it was poorly named
- it was designed to workaround an optimizer bug that no longer exists
(the OID argument is to ensure that the optimizer won't optimize away
calls to the function; AFAIK marking the function as 'volatile' suffices
nowadays)
- it used a different random-number generation technique than the other
PSRNG-related functions in the backend do (it called random() like they
do, but it had its own logic for setting a set and deciding when to
reseed the RNG).
Ok, this patch removes oidrand(), oidsrand(), and userfntest(), and
improves the SGML docs a little bit (un-commenting the setseed()
documentation).

It compiles cleanly, and passes all regression tests. If there are no
objections, please apply.
Any suggestions on where this should be documented (other than maybe sql-select)?
Thanks,

p.s. Here's what the previous example now looks like:
CREATE TABLE bar(f1 int, f2 text, f3 int);
INSERT INTO bar VALUES(1, 'Hello', 42);
INSERT INTO bar VALUES(2, 'Happy', 45);
CREATE TABLE foo(a int, b text);
INSERT INTO foo VALUES(42, 'World');
INSERT INTO foo VALUES(42, 'Everyone');
INSERT INTO foo VALUES(45, 'Birthday');
INSERT INTO foo VALUES(45, 'New Year');
CREATE TABLE foo2(a int, b text);
INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '!!!!');
INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '????');
INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '####');
INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(45, '$$$$');
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfoo(int) RETURNS SETOF text AS '
SELECT b FROM foo WHERE a = $1
' language 'sql';
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfoo2(int) RETURNS SETOF text AS '
SELECT b FROM foo2 WHERE a = $1
' language 'sql';
regression=# SELECT f1, f2, getfoo(f3) AS f4 FROM bar;
f1 | f2 | f4
----+-------+----------
1 | Hello | World
1 | Hello | Everyone
2 | Happy | Birthday
2 | Happy | New Year
(4 rows)
regression=# SELECT f1, f2, getfoo(f3) AS f4, getfoo2(f3) AS f5 FROM bar;
ERROR: Only one target list entry may return a set result

codes, per discussion from last March. parse.h should now be included
*only* by gram.y, scan.l, keywords.c, parser.c. This prevents surprising
misbehavior after seemingly-trivial grammar adjustments.

rid of the assumption that sizeof(Oid)==sizeof(int). This is one small
step towards someday supporting 8-byte OIDs. For the moment, it doesn't
do much except get rid of a lot of unsightly casts.

locParam lists can be converted to bitmapsets to speed updating. Also,
replace 'locParam' with 'allParam', which contains all the paramIDs
relevant to the node (i.e., the union of extParam and locParam); this
saves a step during SetChangedParamList() without costing anything
elsewhere.
|
|
Instead of Lists of integers, we now store variable-length bitmap sets.
This should be faster as well as less error-prone.

Instead of grovelling through pg_class to find them, make use of the
handy dandy dependency mechanism: just delete everything that depends
on our temp schema. Unlike the pg_class scan, the dependency mechanism
is smart enough to delete things in an order that doesn't fall foul of
any dependency restrictions. Fixes problem reported by David Heggie:
a temp table with a serial column may cause a backend FATAL exit at
shutdown time, if it chances to try to delete the temp sequence first.

expression accepted by the regex operators, per discussion yesterday.
Along the way, reduce deadlock_timeout from PGC_POSTMASTER to PGC_SIGHUP
category. It is probably best to insist that all backends share the same
setting, but that doesn't mean it has to be frozen at startup.

(extracted from Tcl 8.4.1 release, as Henry still hasn't got round to
making it a separate library). This solves a performance problem for
multibyte, as well as upgrading our regexp support to match recent Tcl

nodes where it's not really necessary. In many cases where the scan node
is not the topmost plan node (eg, joins, aggregation), it's possible to
just return the table tuple directly instead of generating an intermediate
projection tuple. In preliminary testing, this reduced the CPU time
needed for 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo' by about 10%.

value of MAX_TIME_PRECISION in floating-point-timestamp-storage case

(The alternative of increasing the number of digits we are willing to
print looks risky; we might find ourselves printing roundoff garbage.)

to derive non-bogus selectivity for IN clauses. Further tweaking of
cost estimation for IN.
initdb forced because of pg_proc.h changes.

Try to model the effect of rescanning input tuples in mergejoins;
account for JOIN_IN short-circuiting where appropriate. Also, recognize
that mergejoin and hashjoin clauses may now be more than single operator
calls, so we have to charge appropriate execution costs.

necessarily following the JOIN syntax to develop the query plan. The old
behavior is still available by setting GUC variable JOIN_COLLAPSE_LIMIT
to 1. Also create a GUC variable FROM_COLLAPSE_LIMIT to control the
similar decision about when to collapse sub-SELECT lists into their parent
lists. (This behavior existed already, but the limit was always
GEQO_THRESHOLD/2; now it's separately adjustable.)

of known-equal expressions includes any constant expressions (including
Params from outer queries), we actively suppress any 'var = var'
clauses that are or could be deduced from the set, generating only the
deducible 'var = const' clauses instead. The idea here is to push down
the restrictions implied by the equality set to base relations whenever
possible. Once we have applied the 'var = const' clauses, the 'var = var'
clauses are redundant, and should be suppressed both to save work at
execution and to avoid double-counting restrictivity.

that's selecting into a RECORD variable returns zero rows, make it
assign an all-nulls row to the RECORD; this is consistent with what
happens when the SELECT INTO target is not a RECORD. In support of
this, tweak the SPI code so that a valid tuple descriptor is returned
even when a SPI select returns no rows.
|

There are two implementation techniques: the executor understands a new
JOIN_IN jointype, which emits at most one matching row per left-hand row,
or the result of the IN's sub-select can be fed through a DISTINCT filter
and then joined as an ordinary relation.
Along the way, some minor code cleanup in the optimizer; notably, break
out most of the jointree-rearrangement preprocessing in planner.c and
put it in a new file prep/prepjointree.c.

that used to do it in planner. That was an ancient kluge that was
never satisfactory; errors should be detected at parse time when possible.
But at the time we didn't have the support mechanism (expression_tree_walker
et al) to make it convenient to do in the parser.

simplify callers. It turns out the common case is that the caller
does want to recurse into sub-queries, so push support for that into
these subroutines.

datetime token tables. Even more embarrassing, the regression tests
revealed some of the problems --- but evidently the bogus output wasn't
questioned. Add code to postmaster startup to directly check the tables
for correct ordering, in hopes of not being embarrassed like this again.

join_references(), it's practical to consolidate all join_references()
processing into the set_plan_references traversal in setrefs.c. This
seems considerably cleaner than the old way where we did it for join
quals in createplan.c and for targetlists in setrefs.c.

containing a volatile function), rather than only on 'Var = Var' clauses
as before. This makes it practical to do flatten_join_alias_vars at the
start of planning, which in turn eliminates a bunch of klugery inside the
planner to deal with alias vars. As a free side effect, we now detect
implied equality of non-Var expressions; for example in
SELECT ... WHERE a.x = b.y and b.y = 42
we will deduce a.x = 42 and use that as a restriction qual on a. Also,
we can remove the restriction introduced 12/5/02 to prevent pullup of
subqueries whose targetlists contain sublinks.
Still TODO: make statistical estimation routines in selfuncs.c and costsize.c
smarter about expressions that are more complex than plain Vars. The need
for this is considerably greater now that we have to be able to estimate
the suitability of merge and hash join techniques on such expressions.

distinguishing FALSE from UNKNOWN). We need to know this in subselect.c;

This extension is needed in order to deal realistically with hashed or
