2011-02-08Per-column collation supportPeter Eisentraut
This adds collation support for columns and domains, a COLLATE clause to override it per expression, and B-tree index support. Peter Eisentraut reviewed by Pavel Stehule, Itagaki Takahiro, Robert Haas, Noah Misch
2011-02-08Continue long tradition of bumping the catalog version a little late.Simon Riggs
2011-02-08Named restore points in recovery. Users can record named points, thenSimon Riggs
new recovery.conf parameter recovery_target_name allows PITR to specify named points as recovery targets. Jaime Casanova, reviewed by Euler Taveira de Oliveira, plus minor edits
2011-02-08Basic Recovery Control functions for use in Hot Standby. Pause, Resume,Simon Riggs
Status check functions only. Also, new recovery.conf parameter to pause_at_recovery_target, default on. Simon Riggs, reviewed by Fujii Masao
2011-02-08UINT64_MAX isn't defined on MSVC.Heikki Linnakangas
2011-02-08Remove rare corner case for data loss when triggering standby server.Simon Riggs
If the standby was streaming when trigger file arrives, check also in the archive for additional WAL files. This is a corner case since it is unlikely that we would trigger a failover while the master is still available and sending data to standby, while at the same time running in archive mode and also while the streaming standby has fallen behind archive. Someone would eventually be unlucky; we must plug all gaps however small. Fujii Masao
2011-02-08Extend ALTER TABLE to allow Foreign Keys to be added without initial validation.Simon Riggs
FK constraints that are marked NOT VALID may later be VALIDATED, which uses an ShareUpdateExclusiveLock on constraint table and RowShareLock on referenced table. Significantly reduces lock strength and duration when adding FKs. New state visible from psql. Simon Riggs, with reviews from Marko Tiikkaja and Robert Haas
2011-02-08Fix copy-pasto in description of pg_serial, and silence compiler warningHeikki Linnakangas
about uninitialized field you get on some compilers.
2011-02-07Avoid having autovacuum workers wait for relation locks.Robert Haas
Waiting for relation locks can lead to starvation - it pins down an autovacuum worker for as long as the lock is held. But if we're doing an anti-wraparound vacuum, then we still wait; maintenance can no longer be put off. To assist with troubleshooting, if log_autovacuum_min_duration >= 0, we log whenever an autovacuum or autoanalyze is skipped for this reason. Per a gripe by Josh Berkus, and ensuing discussion.
2011-02-08Oops, forgot to bump catversion in the Serializable Snapshot Isolation patch.Heikki Linnakangas
I thought we didn't need that, but then I remembered that it added a new SLRU subdirectory, pg_serial. While we're at it, document what pg_serial is.
2011-02-08Implement genuine serializable isolation level.Heikki Linnakangas
Until now, our Serializable mode has in fact been what's called Snapshot Isolation, which allows some anomalies that could not occur in any serialized ordering of the transactions. This patch fixes that using a method called Serializable Snapshot Isolation, based on research papers by Michael J. Cahill (see README-SSI for full references). In Serializable Snapshot Isolation, transactions run like they do in Snapshot Isolation, but a predicate lock manager observes the reads and writes performed and aborts transactions if it detects that an anomaly might occur. This method produces some false positives, ie. it sometimes aborts transactions even though there is no anomaly. To track reads we implement predicate locking, see storage/lmgr/predicate.c. Whenever a tuple is read, a predicate lock is acquired on the tuple. Shared memory is finite, so when a transaction takes many tuple-level locks on a page, the locks are promoted to a single page-level lock, and further to a single relation level lock if necessary. To lock key values with no matching tuple, a sequential scan always takes a relation-level lock, and an index scan acquires a page-level lock that covers the search key, whether or not there are any matching keys at the moment. A predicate lock doesn't conflict with any regular locks or with another predicate locks in the normal sense. They're only used by the predicate lock manager to detect the danger of anomalies. Only serializable transactions participate in predicate locking, so there should be no extra overhead for for other transactions. Predicate locks can't be released at commit, but must be remembered until all the transactions that overlapped with it have completed. That means that we need to remember an unbounded amount of predicate locks, so we apply a lossy but conservative method of tracking locks for committed transactions. If we run short of shared memory, we overflow to a new "pg_serial" SLRU pool. We don't currently allow Serializable transactions in Hot Standby mode. That would be hard, because even read-only transactions can cause anomalies that wouldn't otherwise occur. Serializable isolation mode now means the new fully serializable level. Repeatable Read gives you the old Snapshot Isolation level that we have always had. Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports, reviewed by Jeff Davis, Heikki Linnakangas and Anssi Kääriäinen
2011-02-07Fix a comment for MergeAttributes.Itagaki Takahiro

2011-02-06Force strings passed to and from plperl to be in UTF8 encoding.Andrew Dunstan
String are converted to UTF8 on the way into perl and to the database encoding on the way back. This avoids a number of observed anomalies, and ensures Perl a consistent view of the world. Some minor code cleanups are also accomplished. Alex Hunsaker, reviewed by Andy Colson.
2011-02-06Rename macro DECIMAL to DECIMAL_T to help pgindent; this is alreadyBruce Momjian
done for a few other macros in that file, for other reasons. I also remove pgindent/README mention of the file.

2011-02-06Tighten ALTER FOREIGN TABLE .. SET DATA TYPE checks.Robert Haas
If the foreign table's rowtype is being used as the type of a column in another table, we can't just up and change its data type. This was already checked for composite types and ordinary tables, but we previously failed to enforce it for foreign tables.

2011-02-04Attempt to unbreak MSVC builds after pipe.c move.Andrew Dunstan
2011-02-04Clarify comment in ATRewriteTable().Robert Haas
Make sure it's clear that the prohibition on adding a column with a default when the rowtype is used elsewhere is intentional, and be a bit more explicit about the other cases where we perform this check.
2011-02-04Move pipe.c into the backend.Robert Haas
It's full of backend-specific error reporting, so it's neither possible nor necessary for this to be used from frontend code.
2011-02-04Avoid including postgres.h in frontend compiles of src/port.Robert Haas
This isn't kosher, and doesn't play nicely with my recent changes to the Makefile in this directory.
2011-02-04Use $(MAKE) rather than make.Robert Haas
Per buildfarm.
2011-02-04Make handling of errcodes.h more consistent with other generated headers.Robert Haas
This fixes make distprep, and seems more robust in other ways as well. Some special handling is required because errcodes.txt is needed by some stuff in src/port, but just by src/backend as is the case for the other generated headers. While I'm at it, fix a few other things that were overlooked in the original patch.

2011-02-03Avoid maintaining three separate copies of the error codes list.Robert Haas
src/pl/plpgsql/src/plerrcodes.h, src/include/utils/errcodes.h, and a big chunk of errcodes.sgml are now automatically generated from a single file, src/backend/utils/errcodes.txt. Jan Urbański, reviewed by Tom Lane.

2011-02-02Log restartpoints in the same fashion as checkpoints.Robert Haas
Prior to 9.0, restartpoints never created, deleted, or recycled WAL files, but now they can. This code makes log_checkpoints treat checkpoints and restartpoints symmetrically. It also adjusts up the documentation of the parameter to mention restartpoints. Fujii Masao. Docs by me, as suggested by Itagaki Takahiro.
2011-02-02Clean up missed change to plpython expected files.Tom Lane
2011-02-02Wrap PL/Python SPI calls into subtransactionsPeter Eisentraut
This allows the language-specific try/catch construct to catch and handle exceptions arising from SPI calls, matching the behavior of other PLs. As an additional bonus you no longer get all the ugly "unrecognized error in PLy_spi_execute_query" errors. Jan Urbański, reviewed by Steve Singer

2011-02-01Set up PLPerl trigger data using C code instead of Perl code.Andrew Dunstan
This is an efficiency change, and means we now no longer have to run "out $_TD; local $_TD = shift;", which was especially pointless in the case of non-trigger functions where the passed value was always undef anyway. A tiny open issue is whether we should get rid of the $prolog argument of mkfunc, and the corresponding pushed value, which is now just a constant "false". Tim Bunce, reviewed by Alex Hunsaker.
2011-02-01Undefine setlocale() macro on Win32Magnus Hagander
New versions of libintl redefine setlocale() to a macro which causes problems when the backend and libintl are linked against different versions of the runtime, which is often the case in msvc builds. Hiroshi Inoue, slightly updated comment by me

2011-02-01Create new errcode for recovery conflict caused by db drop on master.Simon Riggs
Previously reported as ERRCODE_ADMIN_SHUTDOWN, this case is now reported as ERRCODE_T_R_DATABASE_DROPPED. No message text change. Unlikely to happen on most servers, so low impact change to allow session poolers to correctly handle this situation. Tatsuo Ishii, edits by me, review by Robert Haas
2011-01-31Fix error code for canceling statement due to conflict with recovery.Simon Riggs

2011-01-31Support multiple concurrent pg_basebackup backups.Heikki Linnakangas
With this patch, pg_basebackup doesn't write a backup_label file in the data directory, so it doesn't interfere with a pg_start/stop_backup() based backup anymore. backup_label is still included in the backup, but it is injected directly into the tar stream.

2011-01-30Make reduce_outer_joins() smarter about semijoins.Tom Lane
reduce_outer_joins() mistakenly treated a semijoin like a left join for purposes of deciding whether not-null constraints created by the join's quals could be passed down into the join's left-hand side (possibly resulting in outer-join simplification there). Actually, semijoin works like inner join for this purpose, ie, we do not need to see any rows that can't possibly satisfy the quals. Hence, two-line fix to treat semi and inner joins alike. Per observation by Andres Freund about a performance gripe from Yazan Suleiman. Back-patch to 8.4, since this oversight has been there since the current handling of semijoins was implemented.
