2007-10-01Fixup for new pgcvslog feature.Bruce Momjian
2007-10-01Have pgcvslog mark back-branch commits with "<back-patch>".Bruce Momjian
2007-09-30Add an extra header byte to TOAST-pointer datums to represent their sizeTom Lane
explicitly. This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST pointer later on. Per discussion with Greg Stark.
2007-09-30In hopes of un-breaking the buildfarm, add missing file fromTom Lane
ITAGAKI Takahiro's patch.
2007-09-30Adjust recovery PS display as agreed with Simon: 'waiting for XXX'Tom Lane
while the restore_command does its thing, then 'recovering XXX' while processing the segment file. These operations are heavyweight enough that an extra PS display set shouldn't bother anyone.
2007-09-30Applied another patch by ITAGAKI Takahiro <itagaki.takahiro@oss.ntt.co.jp>Michael Meskes
to get memory allocation thread-safe. He also did some cleaning up.
2007-09-29Make recovery show the current input WAL segment name in the startupTom Lane
process' PS display. After a suggestion by Simon (not exactly his patch though).
2007-09-29Disallow CLUSTER using an invalid index (that is, one left over from a failedTom Lane
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY). Such an index might not have entries for every heap row and thus clustering with it would result in silent data loss. The scenario requires a pretty foolish DBA, but still ...
2007-09-29Improve consistency of the error messages generated when you try to useTom Lane
ALTER TABLE on a composite type or ALTER TYPE on a table's rowtype. We already rejected these cases, but the error messages were a bit random and didn't always provide a HINT to use the other command type.
2007-09-29In the release checklist, mention packagers will see the minor upgradeBruce Momjian
numbering for additional functions.
2007-09-29Add chklocale.c to pgport files for msvc builds, perMagnus Hagander
buildfarm failures.
2007-09-29Make archive recovery always start a new timeline, rather than only when aTom Lane
recovery stop time was used. This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition. Per example from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.
2007-09-29Make use of additional chklocale.c entries to reject locales that weTom Lane
cannot support.
2007-09-29Teach chklocale.c about a few names for frontend-only encodings,Tom Lane
since this will allow initdb to reject attempts to initdb in a locale that uses such an encoding. We'll probably find out more such names during beta ...
2007-09-28On OS X, assume that an empty-string result for nl_langinfo(CODESET)Tom Lane
means UTF-8. Per examination of /usr/share/locale in 10.4.10.
2007-09-28Update TCL comment:Bruce Momjian
* We can only fix this with Tcl >= 8.4, when Tcl_SetNotifier()
2007-09-28Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to createTom Lane
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms, I believe). C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course, so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option, but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints caused by mismatched settings. I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.
2007-09-28Tweak initdb's text search configuration selection code so it canTom Lane
cope with LANG settings like 'es_ES@euro'.
2007-09-28exclude contrib/tsearch2 from regression tests.Andrew Dunstan
2007-09-27Turn build and vcregress .bat files into pure one line wrappers forAndrew Dunstan
the perl scripts. Remove the now superfluous getregress.pl.
2007-09-27Fix typos in two comments. Spotted by Brendan JurdTom Lane
2007-09-27Define the FRONTEND symbol in postgres_fe.h, which allows us to eliminateTom Lane
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before. Hiroshi Saito
2007-09-27Add virtual transaction IDs to CSVLOG output, so that messages coming fromTom Lane
the same transaction can be identified even when no regular XID was assigned. This seems essential after addition of the lazy-XID patch. Also some minor code cleanup in write_csvlog().
2007-09-27Fix Assert failure in ExpandColumnRefStar --- what I thought was a can'tTom Lane
happen condition can happen given incorrect input. The real problem is that gram.y should try harder to distinguish * from "*" --- the latter is a legal column name per spec, and someday we ought to treat it that way. However fixing that is too invasive for a back-patch, and it's too late for the 8.3 cycle too. So just reduce the Assert to a plain elog for now. Per report from NikhilS.
2007-09-26Some small tuptoaster improvements from Greg Stark. Avoid unnecessaryTom Lane
decompression of an already-compressed external value when we have to copy it; save a few cycles when a value is too short for compression; and annotate various lines that are currently unreachable.
2007-09-26Minor improvements in backup and recovery:Tom Lane
- create a separate archive_mode GUC, on which archive_command is dependent - %r option in recovery.conf sends last restartpoint to recovery command - %r used in pg_standby, updated README - minor other code cleanup in pg_standby - doc on Warm Standby now mentions pg_standby and %r - log_restartpoints recovery option emits LOG message at each restartpoint - end of recovery now displays last transaction end time, as requested by Warren Little; also shown at each restartpoint - restart archiver if needed to carry away WAL files at shutdown Simon Riggs
2007-09-26Adjust the new memory limit in the lazy vacuum code to use MaxHeapTuplesPerPageAlvaro Herrera
tuples per page instead of fixed 200, to better cope with systems that use a different block size.
2007-09-26Create a function variable "join_search_hook" to let plugins override theTom Lane
join search order portion of the planner; this is specifically intended to simplify developing a replacement for GEQO planning. Patch by Julius Stroffek, editorialized on by me. I renamed make_one_rel_by_joins to standard_join_search and make_rels_by_joins to join_search_one_level to better reflect their place within this scheme.
2007-09-26Properly pass -c parameter to ecpg when building regression tests.Magnus Hagander
Per Michael.
2007-09-26Applied patch by ITAGAKI Takahiro <itagaki.takahiro@oss.ntt.co.jp> to get ↵Michael Meskes
prepare thread-safe.
2007-09-26Fix crash of to_tsvector() function on huge input: compareWORD()Teodor Sigaev
function didn't return correct result for word position greate than limit. Per report from Stuart Bishop <stuart@stuartbishop.net>
2007-09-26In the integer-datetimes case, date2timestamp and date2timestamptz needTom Lane
to check for overflow because the legal range of type date is actually wider than timestamp's. Problem found by Neil Conway.
2007-09-26Use SYSV semaphores rather than POSIX on Darwin >= 6.0 (i.e., OS X 10.2Tom Lane
and up), per Chris Marcellino. This avoids consuming O(N^2) file descriptors to support N backends. Tests suggest it's about a wash for small installations, but large ones would have a problem.
2007-09-25Change on-disk representation of NUMERIC datatype so that the sign_dscaleTom Lane
word comes before the weight instead of after. This will allow future binary-compatible extension of the representation to support compact formats, as discussed on pgsql-hackers around 2007/06/18. The reason to do it now is that we've already pretty well broken any chance of simple in-place upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3, but it's possible that 8.3 to 8.4 (or whenever we get around to squeezing NUMERIC) could otherwise be data-compatible.
2007-09-25Dept. of second thoughts: fix loop in BgBufferSync so that the exit whenTom Lane
bgwriter_lru_maxpages is exceeded leaves the loop variables in the expected state. In the original coding, we'd fail to advance next_to_clean, causing that buffer to be probably-uselessly rechecked next time, and also have an off-by-one idea of the number of buffers scanned.
2007-09-25Just-in-time background writing strategy. This code avoids re-scanningTom Lane
buffers that cannot possibly need to be cleaned, and estimates how many buffers it should try to clean based on moving averages of recent allocation requests and density of reusable buffers. The patch also adds a couple more columns to pg_stat_bgwriter to help measure the effectiveness of the bgwriter. Greg Smith, building on his own work and ideas from several other people, in particular a much older patch from Itagaki Takahiro.

2007-09-24Use proper search for contrib makefiles in vcregress.plAndrew Dunstan
2007-09-24fix typo in vcregress.plAndrew Dunstan
2007-09-24Add comments re text <-> bytea internal equivalence in convert routines.Andrew Dunstan
2007-09-24Use correct PG_GETARG macro in pg_convertAndrew Dunstan
2007-09-24Avoid having autovacuum read pgstats data too many times in quick succession.Alvaro Herrera
This is problematic for the autovac launcher when there are many databases, so we keep data for a full second before reading it again.
2007-09-24Reduce the size of memory allocations by lazy vacuum when processing a smallAlvaro Herrera
table, by allocating just enough for a hardcoded number of dead tuples per page. The current estimate is 200 dead tuples per page. Per reports from Jeff Amiel, Erik Jones and Marko Kreen, and subsequent discussion. CVS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CVS: Enter Log.

2007-09-24Simplify and rename some GUC variables, per various recent discussions:Tom Lane
* stats_start_collector goes away; we always start the collector process, unless prevented by a problem with setting up the stats UDP socket. * stats_reset_on_server_start goes away; it seems useless in view of the availability of pg_stat_reset(). * stats_block_level and stats_row_level are merged into a single variable "track_counts", which controls all reports sent to the collector process. * stats_command_string is renamed to track_activities. * log_autovacuum is renamed to log_autovacuum_min_duration to better reflect its meaning. The log_autovacuum change is not a compatibility issue since it didn't exist before 8.3 anyway. The other changes need to be release-noted.
2007-09-24Remove "convert 'blah' using conversion_name" facility, because if itAndrew Dunstan
produces text it is an encoding hole and if not it's incompatible with the spec, whatever the spec means (which we're not sure about anyway).
2007-09-23Replace linear searches with binary searches in pg_dump's code toTom Lane
lookup objects by OID. Per gripe from nikitathespider.
2007-09-23Add perl replacements for build.bat and vcregress.bat. In due courseAndrew Dunstan
the .bat files will be altered to become tiny wrappers for these scripts, and one or two other .bat files will disappear.
