do the right thing: look for a NOTICE message from the backend before we
close our side of the socket. 6.4 libpq did not reliably print the backend's
hara-kiri message, 'The Postmaster has informed me ...', because it only
did the right thing if connection closure was detected during a read
attempt instead of a write attempt.

would be a Bad Thing.
For what it's worth, I found another case in libpq where you can get a T
message without a D that my utility patch needs to handle. I have
attached
the updated patch against the 6.4.2 version of
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c

Just in case you'd like to see what I was talking about, I am
attaching
my patch to src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c to prevent utility functions
called from SPI from locking up the client.

comparisons correctly. The psql monitor converts all table and field
names to lower case. If the PQfnumber function is called with a mixed
case name, it will always return -1.

structs from libpq-fe.h, as we previously discussed.
There turned out to be sloppy coding practices in more places than
I had realized :-(, but all in all I think it was a well-worth-while
exercise.
I ended up adding several routines to libpq's API in order to respond
to application requirements that were exposed by this work. I owe the
docs crew updates for libpq.sgml to describe these changes. I'm way too
tired to work on the docs tonight, however.
This is the last major change I intend to submit for 6.4. I do want
to see if I can make libpgtcl work with Tcl 8.0 before we go final,
but hopefully that will be a minor bug fix.

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Attached is a patch for this weekend's work on libpq. I've dealt
with several issues:
<for details: see message, in pgsql-patches archive for above data>
|

couple weeks ago on the hackers and interfaces lists:
1. When the backend sends a NOTICE message and closes the connection
(typically, because it was told to by the postmaster after
another backend coredumped), libpq will now print the notice
and close the connection cleanly. Formerly, the frontend app
would usually terminate ungracefully due to a SIGPIPE. (I am
not sure if 6.3.2 behaved that way, but the current cvs sources
do...)
2. libpq's various printouts to stderr are now fed through a single
"notice processor" routine, which can be overridden by the
application to direct notices someplace else. This should ease
porting libpq to Windows.
I also noticed and fixed a problem in PQprint: when sending output
to a pager subprocess, it would disable SIGPIPE in case the pager
terminates early (this is good) --- but afterwards it reset SIGPIPE
to SIG_DFL, rather than restoring the application's prior setting
(bad).

Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be
much easier than I feared. So here are the diffs.
Some notes:
* I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow
the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return
code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after
receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend...
Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked
parameter list.
* I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB.
* I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code
are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2").
I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits;
I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.

Through some minor changes, I have been able to compile the libpq
client libraries on the Win32 platform. Since the libpq communications
part has been rewritten, this has become much easier. Enclosed is
a patch that will allow at least Microsoft Visual C++ to compile
libpq into both a static and a dynamic library. I will take a look
at porting the psql frontend as well, but I figured it was a good
idea to send in these patches first - so no major changes are done
to the files before it gets applied (if it does).

I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the
backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting
command:
SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding';
Other features include:
Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness
See doc/README.mb for more details. Note that the pacthes are
against May 30 snapshot.

code that I had assumed was working had not been tested. Naturally,
it was broken ...

1. Rewritten libpq to allow asynchronous clients.
2. Implemented client side of cancel protocol in library,
and patched psql.c to send a cancel request upon SIGINT. The
backend doesn't notice it yet :-(
3. Implemented 'Z' protocol message addition and renaming of
copy in/out start messages. These are implemented conditionally,
ie, the client protocol version is checked; so the code should
still work with 1.0 clients.
4. Revised protocol and libpq sgml documents (don't have an SGML
compiler, though, so there may be some markup glitches here).
What remains to be done:
1. Implement addition of atttypmod field to RowDescriptor messages.
The client-side code is there but ifdef'd out. I have no idea
what to change on the backend side. The field should be sent
only if protocol >= 2.0, of course.
2. Implement backend response to cancel requests received as OOB
messages. (This prolly need not be conditional on protocol
version; just do it if you get SIGURG.)
3. Update libpq.3. (I'm hoping this can be generated mechanically
from libpq.sgml... if not, will do it by hand.) Is there any
other doco to fix?
4. Update non-libpq interfaces as necessary. I patched libpgtcl
so that it would compile, but haven't tested it. Dunno what
needs to be done with the other interfaces.
Have at it!

If PQfn() receives NOTICEs from the backend, it fails because there is no
provision to deal with them.
This patch (supplied by Anders Hammarquist <iko@netg.se> to me as Debian
maintainer of postgresql) cures the problem:
|
|
The following patch is to src/interfaces/libpq of postgresql-6.3.
The purpose of the patch is to make the initialization of
const char *pgresStatus[] match the ExecStatusType enum.

I've completed the patch to fix the protocol and authentication issues I
was discussing a couple of weeks ago. The particular changes are:
- the protocol has a version number
- network byte order is used throughout
- the pg_hba.conf file is used to specify what method is used to
authenticate a frontend (either password, ident, trust, reject, krb4
or krb5)
- support for multiplexed backends is removed
- appropriate changes to man pages
- the -a switch to many programs to specify an authentication service
no longer has any effect
- the libpq.so version number has changed to 1.1
The new backend still supports the old protocol so old interfaces won't
break.
