2000-11-16Make pgsql compile on FreeBSD-alpha.Bruce Momjian
Context diff this time. Remove -m486 compile args for FreeBSD-i386, compile -O2 on i386. Compile with only -O on alpha for codegen safety. Make the port use the TEST_AND_SET for alpha and i386 on FreeBSD. Fix a lot of bogus string formats for outputting pointers (cast to int and %u/%x replaced with no cast and %p), and 'Size'(size_t) are now cast to 'unsigned long' and output with %lu/ Remove an unused variable.

Here is one with a stray character removed. Larry Rosenman
2000-11-15Rename parameter "hostname" to "virtual_host". Seemed very ambiguous...Peter Eisentraut

This code still needs a lot of love, however ...

2000-11-14Minor cleanup of tableOid-related coding.Tom Lane
2000-11-14Clean up comments.Tom Lane
2000-11-14Small polishing of syslog facility and ident settings. Only allow settingPeter Eisentraut
at postmaster start, rename syslog_progid to syslog_ident, since syslog itself uses that term, fix doc markup.
2000-11-14Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to beTom Lane
cloned, rather than always cloning template1. Modify initdb to generate two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1. Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain in its virgin as-initdb'd state. pg_dumpall now dumps databases with restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0. This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1. initdb forced!

2000-11-13Remove -k unix socketpath option from client side, allow hostname withBruce Momjian
leading slash to behave as a unix socket path.
2000-11-13Ok, You guys are probably tired of me, BUT, here is another one, thatBruce Momjian
adds the facility to set the program name used in syslog. (this includes the other ones). One gotcha, the parser doesn't like special characters in strings. For example, i tried to use pg-test, and if failed the parse coming from the postgresql.conf file. I don't think it's a showstopper.. Larry Rosenman
2000-11-13Fix for no hterror().Bruce Momjian
2000-11-13UUNET is looking into offering PostgreSQL as a part of a managed webBruce Momjian
hosting product, on both shared and dedicated machines. We currently offer Oracle and MySQL, and it would be a nice middle-ground. However, as shipped, PostgreSQL lacks the following features we need that MySQL has: 1. The ability to listen only on a particular IP address. Each hosting customer has their own IP address, on which all of their servers (http, ftp, real media, etc.) run. 2. The ability to place the Unix-domain socket in a mode 700 directory. This allows us to automatically create an empty database, with an empty DBA password, for new or upgrading customers without having to interactively set a DBA password and communicate it to (or from) the customer. This in turn cuts down our install and upgrade times. 3. The ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket from within a change-rooted environment. We run CGI programs chrooted to the user's home directory, which is another reason why we need to be able to specify where the Unix-domain socket is, instead of /tmp. 4. The ability to, if run as root, open a pid file in /var/run as root, and then setuid to the desired user. (mysqld -u can almost do this; I had to patch it, too). The patch below fixes problem 1-3. I plan to address #4, also, but haven't done so yet. These diffs are big enough that they should give the PG development team something to think about in the meantime :-) Also, I'm about to leave for 2 weeks' vacation, so I thought I'd get out what I have, which works (for the problems it tackles), now. With these changes, we can set up and run PostgreSQL with scripts the same way we can with apache or proftpd or mysql. In summary, this patch makes the following enhancements: 1. Adds an environment variable PGUNIXSOCKET, analogous to MYSQL_UNIX_PORT, and command line options -k --unix-socket to the relevant programs. 2. Adds a -h option to postmaster to set the hostname or IP address to listen on instead of the default INADDR_ANY. 3. Extends some library interfaces to support the above. 4. Fixes a few memory leaks in PQconnectdb(). The default behavior is unchanged from stock 7.0.2; if you don't use any of these new features, they don't change the operation. David J. MacKenzie
2000-11-13SearchSysCacheTupleCopy() instead of SearchSysCache()Hiroshi Inoue
2000-11-13prevent open failure of VIEWHiroshi Inoue
2000-11-12Keep track of the last active slot in the shared ProcState array, soTom Lane
that search loops only have to scan that far and not through all maxBackends entries. This eliminates a performance penalty for setting maxBackends much higher than the average number of active backends. Also, eliminate no-longer-used 'backend tag' concept. Remove setting of environment variables at backend start (except for CYR_RECODE), since none of them are being examined by the backend any longer.
2000-11-12Restructure handling of inheritance queries so that they work with outerTom Lane
joins, and clean things up a good deal at the same time. Append plan node no longer hacks on rangetable at runtime --- instead, all child tables are given their own RT entries during planning. Concept of multiple target tables pushed up into execMain, replacing bug-prone implementation within nodeAppend. Planner now supports generating Append plans for inheritance sets either at the top of the plan (the old way) or at the bottom. Expanding at the bottom is appropriate for tables used as sources, since they may appear inside an outer join; but we must still expand at the top when the target of an UPDATE or DELETE is an inheritance set, because we actually need a different targetlist and junkfilter for each target table in that case. Fortunately a target table can't be inside an outer join... Bizarre mutual recursion between union_planner and prepunion.c is gone --- in fact, union_planner doesn't really have much to do with union queries anymore, so I renamed it grouping_planner.

2000-11-11Allow interpretation of INTERVALs with more timezone-like syntax.Thomas G. Lockhart
Define conversions to and from text for date, time, and timetz. Have millisecond and microsecond return full # of seconds in those units. Previously, only returned full fractional part in those units.
2000-11-11Fix bug in recent improvement to type resolution code. Forgot to retainThomas G. Lockhart
"best choice" type category when resolving UNKNOWN function and operator arguments. Thanks to Tom Lane for finding test case.
2000-11-10Update expected output to track recent code changes.Tom Lane
2000-11-10Update to PyGreSQL 3.1:Bruce Momjian
Fix some quoting functions. In particular handle NULLs better. Use a method to add primary key information rather than direct manipulation of the class structures. Break decimal out in _quote (in pg.py) and treat it as float. Treat timestamp like date for quoting purposes. Remove a redundant SELECT from the get method speeding it, and insert since it calls get, up a little. Add test for BOOL type in typecast method to pgdbTypeCache class. (tv@beamnet.de) Fix pgdb.py to send port as integer to lower level function (dildog@l0pht.com) Change pg.py to speed up some operations Allow updates on tables with no primary keys. D'Arcy J.M. Cain
2000-11-10the bug was not fixed in the snapshot of November 5th. Also the enterpriseBruce Momjian
edition of the driver did not compile. I have fixed both issues again. I have attached the modified files to this email, maybe you can check them into the repository. (Fixes are marked with //FIXME). Enterprise edition driver now compiles and seems to work. Jan Thomae
2000-11-10Adjust INET/CIDR display conventions and reimplement some INET/CIDRTom Lane
functions, per recent discussions on pghackers. For now, I have called the verbose-display formatting function text(), but will reconsider if enough people object. initdb forced.
2000-11-10Use SearchSysCacheTupleCopy() instead of SearchSysCacheTuple() inHiroshi Inoue
order to continue to access the tuple more than now. This would resolve a segmentation fault error.
2000-11-10pg_fsync is fsync in WAL version.Vadim B. Mikheev
2000-11-10Clean up syscache so that recursive invocation is safe, and remove errorTom Lane
message about recursive use of a syscache. Also remove most of the specialized indexscan routines in indexing.c --- it turns out that catcache.c is perfectly able to perform the indexscan for itself, in fact has already looked up all the information needed to do so! This should be faster as well as needing far less boilerplate code.
2000-11-09Real dynamic loader codePeter Eisentraut
2000-11-09Also test for 'void *' as third arg of accept() (as on Solaris 7 and 8),Peter Eisentraut
but take it as 'int *' instead. Add real test for whether ld -R works on Unixware. Rename --enable-uniconv to --enable-unicode-conversion. Install shlibs mode 755 by default, since 644 causes gratuitous complaints from ldd et al. on some systems.
2000-11-09ExecEndAppend() neglected to close indices on appended result rels,Tom Lane
and improperly prevented the main result rel from being closed if it wasn't one of the Append's own result rels. Per report from Hiroshi.
2000-11-09Applied yet another patch by Christof. Thanks Cristof!Michael Meskes
Synced parser.

2000-11-09Please apply this patch to current, to fix a problem with runcheck,Bruce Momjian
that installs into a different path than is configured. With this applied both postmaster and the shared libs are location independent for AIX 4.2 and up. Thanks Andreas
2000-11-09Arrange for CASE or UNION with only untyped literal constants as inputTom Lane
to resolve the unknown constants as type TEXT.
2000-11-09Add some more union/intersect/except test cases, per suggestionsTom Lane
from Kevin O'Gorman.
2000-11-09Repair some bugs in new union/intersect/except code.Tom Lane
Thanks to Kevin O'Gorman for finding these...
2000-11-08Clean up compiler warnings.Tom Lane
2000-11-08Make DROP TABLE rollback-able: postpone physical file delete until commit.Tom Lane
(WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock throughout the statement.
2000-11-08Add ANALYSE spelling of ANALYZE for vacuum.Bruce Momjian
