2008-09-17Add an "events" system to libpq, whereby applications can get callbacks thatTom Lane
enable them to manage private data associated with PGconns and PGresults. Andrew Chernow and Merlin Moncure
2008-09-16Clean up a couple of weird corner cases in interval parsing: make -yyyy-mm beTom Lane
interpreted as expected (the sign should affect months too), and get rid of hard-wired assumption that unmarked signed values must be hours (if integers) or seconds (if floats). The former was just a bug in my previous patch, while the latter may have made sense at one time but seems illogical now that we support determination of the units from typmod information. Ron Mayer and myself.
2008-09-16Widen the nLocks counts in local lock tables from int to int64. ThisTom Lane
forestalls potential overflow when the same table (or other object, but usually tables) is accessed by very many successive queries within a single transaction. Per report from Michael Milligan. Back-patch to 8.0, which is as far back as the patch conveniently applies. There have been no reports of overflow in pre-8.3 releases, but clearly the risk existed all along. (Michael's report suggests that 8.3 may consume lock counts faster than prior releases, but with no test case to look at it's hard to be sure about that. Widening the counts seems a good future-proofing measure in any event.)
2008-09-16Fix multiple memory leaks in xml_out(). Per report from Matt Magoffin.Tom Lane
2008-09-15Fix caching of foreign-key-checking queries so that when a replan is needed,Tom Lane
we regenerate the SQL query text not merely the plan derived from it. This is needed to handle contingencies such as renaming of a table or column used in an FK. Pre-8.3, such cases worked despite the lack of replanning (because the cached plan needn't actually change), so this is a regression. Per bug #4417 from Benjamin Bihler.
2008-09-15Fix error messages from recent pg_hba parsing patch to use errcontext()Magnus Hagander
to indicate where the error occurred.
2008-09-15Change hash indexes to store only the hash code rather than the whole indexedTom Lane
value. This means that hash index lookups are always lossy and have to be rechecked when the heap is visited; however, the gain in index compactness outweighs this when the indexed values are wide. Also, we only need to perform datatype comparisons when the hash codes match exactly, rather than for every entry in the hash bucket; so it could also win for datatypes that have expensive comparison functions. A small additional win is gained by keeping hash index pages sorted by hash code and using binary search to reduce the number of index tuples we have to look at. Xiao Meng This commit also incorporates Zdenek Kotala's patch to isolate hash metapages and hash bitmaps a bit better from the page header datastructures.
2008-09-15Parse pg_hba.conf in postmaster, instead of once in each backend forMagnus Hagander
each connection. This makes it possible to catch errors in the pg_hba file when it's being reloaded, instead of silently reloading a broken file and failing only when a user tries to connect. This patch also makes the "sameuser" argument to ident authentication optional.
2008-09-15Avoid compiler warning about variable used before assigned.Peter Eisentraut
2008-09-12Skip opfamily check in eclass_matches_any_index() when the index isn't aTom Lane
btree. We can't easily tell whether clauses generated from the equivalence class could be used with such an index, so just assume that they might be. This bit of over-optimization prevented use of non-btree indexes for nestloop inner indexscans, in any case where the join uses an equality operator that is also a btree operator --- which in particular is typically true for hash indexes. Noted while trying to test the current hash index patch.
2008-09-11Tighten up to_date/to_timestamp so that they are more likely to rejectTom Lane
erroneous input, rather than silently producing bizarre results as formerly happened. Brendan Jurd
2008-09-11Adjust the parser to accept the typename syntax INTERVAL ... SECOND(n)Tom Lane
and the literal syntax INTERVAL 'string' ... SECOND(n), as required by the SQL standard. Our old syntax put (n) directly after INTERVAL, which was a mistake, but will still be accepted for backward compatibility as well as symmetry with the TIMESTAMP cases. Change intervaltypmodout to show it in the spec's way, too. (This could potentially affect clients, if there are any that analyze the typmod of an INTERVAL in any detail.) Also fix interval input to handle 'min:sec.frac' properly; I had overlooked this case in my previous patch. Document the use of the interval fields qualifier, which up to now we had never mentioned in the docs. (I think the omission was intentional because it didn't work per spec; but it does now, or at least close enough to be credible.)
2008-09-11Initialize the minimum frozen Xid in vac_update_datfrozenxid usingAlvaro Herrera
GetOldestXmin() instead of RecentGlobalXmin; this is safer because we do not depend on the latter being correctly set elsewhere, and while it is more expensive, this code path is not performance-critical. This is a real risk for autovacuum, because it can execute whole cycles without doing a single vacuum, which would mean that RecentGlobalXmin would stay at its initialization value, FirstNormalTransactionId, causing a bogus value to be inserted in pg_database. This bug could explain some recent reports of failure to truncate pg_clog. At the same time, change the initialization of RecentGlobalXmin to InvalidTransactionId, and ensure that it's set to something else whenever it's going to be used. Using it as FirstNormalTransactionId in HOT page pruning could incur in data loss. InitPostgres takes care of setting it to a valid value, but the extra checks are there to prevent "special" backends from behaving in unusual ways. Per Tom Lane's detailed problem dissection in 29544.1221061979@sss.pgh.pa.us
2008-09-10Tweak newly added set_config_sourcefile() so that the target recordTom Lane
isn't left corrupt if guc_strdup should fail.
2008-09-10Make our parsing of INTERVAL literals spec-compliant (or at least a heck ofTom Lane
a lot closer than it was before). To do this, tweak coerce_type() to pass through the typmod information when invoking interval_in() on an UNKNOWN constant; then fix DecodeInterval to pay attention to the typmod when deciding how to interpret a units-less integer value. I changed one or two other details as well. I believe the code now reacts as expected by spec for all the literal syntaxes that are specifically enumerated in the spec. There are corner cases involving strings that don't exactly match the set of fields called out by the typmod, for which we might want to tweak the behavior some more; but I think this is an area of user friendliness rather than spec compliance. There remain some non-compliant details about the SQL syntax (as opposed to what's inside the literal string); but at least we'll throw error rather than silently doing the wrong thing in those cases.
2008-09-10Add "source file" and "source line" information to each GUC variable.Alvaro Herrera
initdb forced due to changes in the pg_settings view. Magnus Hagander and Alvaro Herrera.
2008-09-10Avoid using sprintf() for a simple octal conversion in PQescapeByteaInternal.Tom Lane
Improves performance, per suggestion from Rudolf Leitgeb (bug #4414). The backend did this right already, but not libpq.
2008-09-10Fix a couple of places where the plpgsql grammar would produce an unhelpfulTom Lane
'syntax error' message, rather than something that might draw one's attention to a missing or wrong-type variable declaration. Per recent gripe.
2008-09-09Improve the plan cache invalidation mechanism to make it invalidate plansTom Lane
when user-defined functions used in a plan are modified. Also invalidate plans when schemas, operators, or operator classes are modified; but for these cases we just invalidate everything rather than tracking exact dependencies, since these types of objects seldom change in a production database. Tom Lane; loosely based on a patch by Martin Pihlak.
2008-09-09Improve plpgsql's ability to report tuple incompatibility problems.Alvaro Herrera
Volkan YAZICI
2008-09-08Fix a couple of problems pointed out by Fujii Masao in the 2008-Apr-05 patchTom Lane
for pg_stop_backup. First, it is possible that the history file name is not alphabetically later than the last WAL file name, so we should explicitly check that both have been archived. Second, the previous coding would wait forever if a checkpoint had managed to remove the WAL file before we look for it. Simon Riggs, plus some code cleanup by me.
2008-09-08Make pg_dump --data-only try to order the table dumps so that foreign keys'Tom Lane
referenced tables are dumped before the referencing tables. This avoids failures when the data is loaded with the FK constraints already active. If no such ordering is possible because of circular or self-referential constraints, print a NOTICE to warn the user about it.
2008-09-08Create a separate grantable privilege for TRUNCATE, rather than having it beTom Lane
always owner-only. The TRUNCATE privilege works identically to the DELETE privilege so far as interactions with the rest of the system go. Robert Haas
2008-09-08Support set-returning functions in the target lists of Agg and Group planTom Lane
nodes. This is a pretty ugly feature but since we don't yet have a plausible substitute, we'd better support it everywhere. Per gripe from Jeff Davis.
2008-09-07Reimplement text_position and related functions to use Boyer-Moore-HorspoolTom Lane
searching instead of naive matching. In the worst case this has the same O(M*N) complexity as the naive method, but the worst case is hard to hit, and the average case is very fast, especially with longer patterns. David Rowley
2008-09-06Adjust psql's new \ef command to present an empty CREATE FUNCTION templateTom Lane
for editing if no function name is specified. This seems a much cleaner way to offer that functionality than the original patch had. In passing, de-clutter the error displays that are given for a bogus function-name argument, and standardize on "$function$" as the default delimiter for the function body. (The original coding would use the shortest possible dollar-quote delimiter, which seems to create unnecessarily high risk of later conflicts with the user-modified function body.)
2008-09-06Implement a psql command "\ef" to edit the definition of a function.Tom Lane
In support of that, create a backend function pg_get_functiondef(). The psql command is functional but maybe a bit rough around the edges... Abhijit Menon-Sen
2008-09-05Add comment about why pg_dump doesn't dump the public schema comment.Bruce Momjian
2008-09-05Fix an oversight in the 8.2 patch that improved mergejoin performance byTom Lane
inserting a materialize node above an inner-side sort node, when the sort is expected to spill to disk. (The materialize protects the sort from having to support mark/restore, allowing it to do its final merge pass on-the-fly.) We neglected to teach cost_mergejoin about that hack, so it was failing to include the materialize's costs in the estimated cost of the mergejoin. The materialize's costs are generally going to be pretty negligible in comparison to the sort's, so this is only a small error and probably not worth back-patching; but it's still wrong. In the similar case where a materialize is inserted to protect an inner-side node that can't do mark/restore at all, it's still true that the materialize should not spill to disk, and so we should cost it cheaply rather than expensively. Noted while thinking about a question from Tom Raney.
2008-09-05Add Win32 MSVC code to support this recent patch:Bruce Momjian
Add missing descriptions for aggregates, functions and conversions. Bernd Helmle
2008-09-05Code coverage testing with gcov. Documentation is in the regression testPeter Eisentraut
chapter. Author: Michelle Caisse <Michelle.Caisse@Sun.COM>
2008-09-04Fix strategy propagation to scanEntry for partial match by moving propagationTeodor Sigaev
to initializaion of scanEntry.
2008-09-03If a loadable module has wrong values in its magic block, spell outTom Lane
exactly what they are in the complaint message. Marko Kreen, some editorialization by me.
2008-09-02Prevent memory leaks in our various bison parsers when an error occursTom Lane
during parsing. Formerly the parser's stack was allocated with malloc and so wouldn't be reclaimed; this patch makes it use palloc instead, so that flushing the current context will reclaim the memory. Per Marko Kreen.
2008-09-01Fix plpgsql's exec_move_row() to supply valid type OIDs to exec_assign_value()Tom Lane
whenever possible, as per bug report from Oleg Serov. While at it, reorder the operations in the RECORD case to avoid possible palloc failure while the variable update is only partly complete. Back-patch as far as 8.1. Although the code of the particular function is similar in 8.0, 8.0's support for composite fields in rows is sufficiently broken elsewhere that it doesn't seem worth fixing this.
2008-09-01Sigh, I missed checking the ecpg tests ...Tom Lane
2008-09-01Add a variant expected-output file for the sequence regression test, to coverTom Lane
output that is seen when a checkpoint occurs at just the right time during the test. Per my report of 2008-08-31. This could be back-patched but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
2008-09-01Add a bunch of new error location reports to parse-analysis error messages.Tom Lane
There are still some weak spots around JOIN USING and relation alias lists, but most errors reported within backend/parser/ now have locations.
2008-09-01HeapTupleHeaderAdjustCmax made the incorrect assumption that the rawHeikki Linnakangas
command id is the cmin, when it can in fact be a combo cid. That made rows incorrectly invisible to a transaction where a tuple was deleted by multiple aborted subtransactions. Report and patch Karl Schnaitter. Back-patch to 8.3, where combo cids was introduced.
2008-09-01Synchronize the shared object build rules in Makefile.port with Makefile.shlibPeter Eisentraut
somewhat by adding CFLAGS where the compiler is used and Makefile.shlib already used CFLAGS.
2008-08-30Fix (hopefully) some oversights in recent Bison cleanup patch.Tom Lane
Per buildfarm results.
2008-08-30Fix the raw-parsetree representation of star (as in SELECT * FROM orTom Lane
SELECT foo.*) so that it cannot be confused with a quoted identifier "*". Instead create a separate node type A_Star to represent this notation. Per pgsql-hackers discussion of 2007-Sep-27.
2008-08-29In GCC-based builds, use a better newNode() macro that relies on GCC-specificTom Lane
syntax to avoid a useless store into a global variable. Per experimentation, this works better than my original thought of trying to push the code into an out-of-line subroutine.
2008-08-29Fixup pg_dumpall adding --lock-wait-timeout, to match pg_dump.Alvaro Herrera
David Gould
2008-08-29Suppress gcc warning about possibly-uninitialized variable. It's notTom Lane
clear to me why I'd not seen this message before --- on F-9 it seems to only happen if Asserts are disabled, which ought to be irrelevant. Maybe that affects a decision whether to inline get_ten(), which would be needed to expose the warning condition to the compiler? Anyway, the fix is clear.
2008-08-29Document that \t and \x are now settable.Alvaro Herrera
2008-08-29Remove all traces that suggest that a non-Bison yacc might be supported, andPeter Eisentraut
change build system to use only Bison. Simplify build rules, make file names uniform. Don't build the token table header file where it is not needed.
2008-08-28Extend the parser location infrastructure to include a location field inTom Lane
most node types used in expression trees (both before and after parse analysis). This allows us to place an error cursor in many situations where we formerly could not, because the information wasn't available beyond the very first level of parse analysis. There's a fair amount of work still to be done to persuade individual ereport() calls to actually include an error location, but this gets the initdb-forcing part of the work out of the way; and the situation is already markedly better than before for complaints about unimplementable implicit casts, such as CASE and UNION constructs with incompatible alternative data types. Per my proposal of a few days ago.
2008-08-26Teach eval_const_expressions() to simplify an ArrayCoerceExpr to a constantTom Lane
when its input is constant and the element coercion function is immutable (or nonexistent, ie, binary-coercible case). This is an oversight in the 8.3 implementation of ArrayCoerceExpr, and its result is that certain cases involving IN or NOT IN with constants don't get optimized as they should be. Per experimentation with an example from Ow Mun Heng.
2008-08-25Move exprType(), exprTypmod(), expression_tree_walker(), and related routinesTom Lane
into nodes/nodeFuncs, so as to reduce wanton cross-subsystem #includes inside the backend. There's probably more that should be done along this line, but this is a start anyway.
