This includes two new kinds of postmaster processes, walsenders and
walreceiver. Walreceiver is responsible for connecting to the primary server
and streaming WAL to disk, while walsender runs in the primary server and
streams WAL from disk to the client.
Documentation still needs work, but the basics are there. We will probably
pull the replication section to a new chapter later on, as well as the
sections describing file-based replication. But let's do that as a separate
patch, so that it's easier to see what has been added/changed. This patch
also adds a new section to the chapter about FE/BE protocol, documenting the
protocol used by walsender/walreceivxer.
Bump catalog version because of two new functions,
pg_last_xlog_receive_location() and pg_last_xlog_replay_location(), for
monitoring the progress of replication.

of this are to centralise the conflict code to allow further change,
as well as to allow passing through the full reason for the conflict
through to the conflicting backends. Backend state alters how we
can handle different types of conflict so this is now required.
As originally suggested by Heikki, no longer optional.

can upgrade clusters without renaming the tablespace directories. New

Previously we only cancelled sessions that were in-transaction.
Simple fix is to just cancel all sessions without waiting. Doing
it this way avoids complicating common code paths, which would
not be worth the trouble to cover this rare case.

This silences some warnings on Win64. Not using the proper SOCKET datatype
was actually wrong on Win32 as well, but didn't cause any warnings there.
Also create define PGINVALID_SOCKET to indicate an invalid/non-existing
socket, instead of using a hardcoded -1 value.

Previously, fastgetattr() and heap_getattr() tested their fourth argument
against a null pointer, but any attempt to use them with a literal-NULL
fourth argument evaluated to *(void *)0, resulting in a compiler error.
Remove these NULL tests to avoid leading future readers of this code to
believe that this has a chance of working. Also clean up related legacy
code in nocachegetattr(), heap_getsysattr(), and nocache_index_getattr().
The new coding standard is that any code which calls a getattr-type
function or macro which takes an isnull argument MUST pass a valid
boolean pointer. Per discussion with Bruce Momjian, Tom Lane, Alvaro
Herrera.

deletion, so that we attempt to unlink the correct filepath. unlink()
errors are ignorable there, so lack of a DatabasePath initialization step
did not cause visible problems until a related bug showed up on Solaris.
Code refactored from xact_redo_commit() to
ProcessCommittedInvalidationMessages() in inval.c. Recovery may replay
shared invalidation messages for many databases, so we cannot
SetDatabasePath() once as we do in normal backends. Read the databaseid
from the shared invalidation messages, then set DatabasePath
temporarily before calling RelationCacheInitFileInvalidate().

we're not going to support that anymore.
I did keep the 64-bit-CRC-with-32-bit-arithmetic code, since it has a
performance excuse to live. It's a bit moot since that's all ifdef'd
out, of course.

Add missing varlena header to TableSpaceOpts structure. And, per
Tom Lane, instead of calling tablespace_reloptions in CacheMemoryContext,
call it in the caller's memory context and copy the value over
afterwards, to reduce the chances of a session-lifetime memory leak.

provide a working 64-bit integer datatype. As recently noted, we've been
broken on such platforms since early in the 8.4 development cycle. Since
it took nearly two years for anyone to even notice, it seems that the
rationale for continuing to support such platforms has reached the point
of non-existence. Rather than thrashing around to try to make it work
again, we'll just admit up front that this no longer works.
Back-patch to 8.4 since that branch is also broken.
We should go around to remove INT64_IS_BUSTED support, but just in HEAD,
so that seems like material for a separate commit.

VACUUM FULL was renamed to VACUUM FULL INPLACE. Also added a new
option -i, --inplace for vacuumdb to perform FULL INPLACE vacuuming.
Since the new VACUUM FULL uses CLUSTER infrastructure, we cannot
use it for system tables. VACUUM FULL for system tables always
fall back into VACUUM FULL INPLACE silently.

peculiar variant of UNION ALL, and so wouldn't likely get written directly
as-is, it's possible for it to arise as a result of simplification of
less-obviously-silly queries. In particular, now that we can do flattening
of subqueries that have constant outputs and are underneath an outer join,
it's possible for the case to result from simplification of queries of the
type exhibited in bug #5263. Back-patch to 8.4 to avoid a functionality
regression for this type of query.

This patch only supports seq_page_cost and random_page_cost as parameters,
but it provides the infrastructure to scalably support many more.
In particular, we may want to add support for effective_io_concurrency,
but I'm leaving that as future work for now.
Thanks to Tom Lane for design help and Alvaro Herrera for the review.

pg_attribute, by having genbki.pl derive the information from the various
catalog header files. This greatly simplifies modification of the
"bootstrapped" catalogs.
This patch finally kills genbki.sh and Gen_fmgrtab.sh; we now rely entirely on
Perl scripts for those build steps. To avoid creating a Perl build dependency
where there was not one before, the output files generated by these scripts
are now treated as distprep targets, ie, they will be built and shipped in
tarballs. But you will need a reasonably modern Perl (probably at least
5.6) if you want to build from a CVS pull.
The changes to the MSVC build process are untested, and may well break ---
we'll soon find out from the buildfarm.

We can't use the same as before, since MSVC on Win64 doesn't

recovery instead of reading the backup history file. This is more robust,
as it stops you from prematurely starting up an inconsisten cluster if the
backup history file is lost for some reason, or if the base backup was
never finished with pg_stop_backup().
This also paves the way for a simpler streaming replication patch, which
doesn't need to care about backup history files anymore.
The backup history file is still created and archived as before, but it's
not used by the system anymore. It's just for informational purposes now.
Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION as the location of the backup startpoint is now
written to a new field in pg_control, and catversion because initdb is
required
Original patch by Fujii Masao per Simon's idea, with further fixes by me.

"column < constant", and the comparison value is in the first or last
histogram bin or outside the histogram entirely, try to fetch the actual
column min or max value using an index scan (if there is an index on the
column). If successful, replace the lower or upper histogram bound with
that value before carrying on with the estimate. This limits the
estimation error caused by moving min/max values when the comparison
value is close to the min or max. Per a complaint from Josh Berkus.
It is tempting to consider using this mechanism for mergejoinscansel as well,
but that would inject index fetches into main-line join estimation not just
endpoint cases. I'm refraining from that until we can get a better handle
on the costs of doing this type of lookup.

to be just a minor extension of the previous patch that made "x IS NULL"
indexable, because we can treat the IS NOT NULL condition as if it were
"x < NULL" or "x > NULL" (depending on the index's NULLS FIRST/LAST option),
just like IS NULL is treated like "x = NULL". Aside from any possible
usefulness in its own right, this is an important improvement for
index-optimized MAX/MIN aggregates: it is now reliably possible to get
a column's min or max value cheaply, even when there are a lot of nulls
cluttering the interesting end of the index.
|

This is more in keeping with modern practice, and is a first step towards
porting to Win64 (which has sizeof(pointer) > sizeof(long)).

decisions about when to auto-analyze.
The previous code depended on n_live_tuples + n_dead_tuples - last_anl_tuples,
where all three of these numbers could be bad estimates from ANALYZE itself.
Even worse, in the presence of a steady flow of HOT updates and matching
HOT-tuple reclamations, auto-analyze might never trigger at all, even if all
three numbers are exactly right, because n_dead_tuples could hold steady.
To fix, replace last_anl_tuples with an accurately tracked count of the total
number of committed tuple inserts + updates + deletes since the last ANALYZE
on the table. This can still be compared to the same threshold as before, but
it's much more trustworthy than the old computation. Tracking this requires
one more intra-transaction counter per modified table within backends, but no
additional memory space in the stats collector. There probably isn't any
measurable speed difference; if anything it might be a bit faster than before,
since I was able to eliminate some per-tuple arithmetic operations in favor of
adding sums once per (sub)transaction.
Also, simplify the logic around pgstat vacuum and analyze reporting messages
by not trying to fold VACUUM ANALYZE into a single pgstat message.
The original thought behind this patch was to allow scheduling of analyzes
on parent tables by artificially inflating their changes_since_analyze count.
I've left that for a separate patch since this change seems to stand on its
own merit.

find_inheritance_children(). This is a complete no-op in databases without
any inheritance. In databases where there are just a few entries in
pg_inherits, it could conceivably be a small loss. However, in databases with
many inheritance parents, it can be a big win.

Per my proposal of yesterday.
autovacuum still needs to be taught about running ANALYZE on parent tables
when their subclasses change, but the feature is useful even without that.

Modify pg_dump --binary-upgrade and add backend support routines to

choose an index name the same as it would do for an unnamed index constraint.
(My recent changes to the index naming logic have helped to ensure that this
will be a reasonable choice.) Per a suggestion from Peter.
A necessary side-effect is to promote CONCURRENTLY to type_func_name_keyword
status, ie, it can't be a table/column/index name anymore unless quoted.
This is not all bad, since we have heard more than once of people typing
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY ON foo (...) and getting a normal index build of
an index named "concurrently", which was not what they wanted. Now this
syntax will result in a concurrent build of an index with system-chosen
name; which they can rename afterwards if they want something else.

Index expression columns are now named after the FigureColname result for
their expressions, rather than always being "pg_expression_N". Digits are
appended to this name if needed to make the column name unique within the
index. (That happens for regular columns too, thus fixing the old problem
that CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo (f1, f1) fails. Before exclusion indexes
there was no real reason to do such a thing, but now maybe there is.)
Default names for indexes and associated constraints now include the column
names of all their columns, not only the first one as in previous practice.
(Of course, this will be truncated as needed to fit in NAMEDATALEN. Also,
pkey indexes retain the historical behavior of not naming specific columns
at all.)
An example of the results:
regression=# create table foo (f1 int, f2 text,
regression(# exclude (f1 with =, lower(f2) with =));
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / EXCLUDE will create implicit index "foo_f1_lower_exclusion" for table "foo"
CREATE TABLE
regression=# \d foo_f1_lower_exclusion
Index "public.foo_f1_lower_exclusion"
Column | Type | Definition
--------+---------+------------
f1 | integer | f1
lower | text | lower(f2)
btree, for table "public.foo"

pg_control contents. (I see we did at least remember to change

Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record.
New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far.
This commit is the basic patch. Additional changes will follow in this release to enhance some aspects of behaviour, notably improved handling of conflicts, deadlock detection and query cancellation. Changes to VACUUM FULL are also required.

This was possibly linked to a deadlock-like situation in glibc syslog code
invoked by the ereport call in quickdie(). In any case, a signal handler
should not unblock its own signal unless there is a specific reason to.

This removes some duplicate code that recreated the identical workaround
when the newer signal API is missing.

non-kluge method for controlling the order in which values are fed to an
aggregate function. At the same time eliminate the old implementation
restriction that DISTINCT was only supported for single-argument aggregates.
Possibly release-notable behavioral change: formerly, agg(DISTINCT x)
dropped null values of x unconditionally. Now, it does so only if the
agg transition function is strict; otherwise nulls are treated as DISTINCT
normally would, ie, you get one copy.

we have to cope with the possibility that the declared result rowtype contains
dropped columns. This fails in 8.4, as per bug #5240.
While at it, be more paranoid about inserting binary coercions when inlining.
The pre-8.4 code did not really need to worry about that because it could not
inline at all in any case where an added coercion could change the behavior
of the function's statement. However, when inlining a SRF we allow sorting,
grouping, and set-ops such as UNION. In these cases, modifying one of the
targetlist entries that the sort/group/setop depends on could conceivably
change the behavior of the function's statement --- so don't inline when
such a case applies.

does a search for the user in the directory first, and then binds with
the DN found for this user.
This allows for LDAP logins in scenarios where the DN of the user cannot
be determined simply by prefix and suffix, such as the case where different
users are located in different containers.
The old way of authentication can be significantly faster, so it's kept
as an option.
