2009-12-31Suppress compiler warning (pid_t isn't int everywhere)Tom Lane
2009-12-31Add missing 'static' tag.Tom Lane
2009-12-31Redefine Datum as uintptr_t, instead of unsigned long.Tom Lane
This is more in keeping with modern practice, and is a first step towards porting to Win64 (which has sizeof(pointer) > sizeof(long)). Tsutomu Yamada, Magnus Hagander, Tom Lane
2009-12-31Update SQL features list for aggregate ORDER BY supportPeter Eisentraut
2009-12-31Add information_schema.triggered_update_columnsPeter Eisentraut
This reflects the recently added support for triggers on columns.
2009-12-31enable examples to compile on Windows. patch from Hiroshi Saito.Andrew Dunstan
2009-12-30Fill in information schema column for trigger WHEN conditionPeter Eisentraut
2009-12-30Dept of second thoughts: recursive case in ANALYZE shouldn't emit aTom Lane
pgstats message. This might need to be done differently later, but with the current logic that's what should happen.
2009-12-30Revise pgstat's tracking of tuple changes to improve the reliability ofTom Lane
decisions about when to auto-analyze. The previous code depended on n_live_tuples + n_dead_tuples - last_anl_tuples, where all three of these numbers could be bad estimates from ANALYZE itself. Even worse, in the presence of a steady flow of HOT updates and matching HOT-tuple reclamations, auto-analyze might never trigger at all, even if all three numbers are exactly right, because n_dead_tuples could hold steady. To fix, replace last_anl_tuples with an accurately tracked count of the total number of committed tuple inserts + updates + deletes since the last ANALYZE on the table. This can still be compared to the same threshold as before, but it's much more trustworthy than the old computation. Tracking this requires one more intra-transaction counter per modified table within backends, but no additional memory space in the stats collector. There probably isn't any measurable speed difference; if anything it might be a bit faster than before, since I was able to eliminate some per-tuple arithmetic operations in favor of adding sums once per (sub)transaction. Also, simplify the logic around pgstat vacuum and analyze reporting messages by not trying to fold VACUUM ANALYZE into a single pgstat message. The original thought behind this patch was to allow scheduling of analyzes on parent tables by artificially inflating their changes_since_analyze count. I've left that for a separate patch since this change seems to stand on its own merit.
2009-12-30Update SQL conformance: search conditions on triggers are supportedPeter Eisentraut
2009-12-30Exclude part of the product name string that is localized in Japanese versionsMagnus Hagander
of MSVC when detecting MSVC version. Hiroshi Inoue
2009-12-30Reset minRecoveryPoint at checkpoints, so that we don't uselessly updateHeikki Linnakangas
it in the control file at crash recovery following an archive recovery. Per Fujii Masao and subsequent discussion.
2009-12-30Set errno to zero before invoking SSL_read or SSL_write. It appears thatTom Lane
at least in some Windows versions, these functions are capable of returning a failure indication without setting errno. That puts us into an infinite loop if the previous value happened to be EINTR. Per report from Brendan Hill. Back-patch to 8.2. We could take it further back, but since this is only known to be an issue on Windows and we don't support Windows before 8.2, it does not seem worth the trouble.
2009-12-30Reject invalid input in int2vectorin.Robert Haas
Since the int2vector type is intended only for internal use, this patch doesn't worry about prettifying the error messages, which has the fringe benefit of avoiding creating additional translatable strings. For a type intended to be used by end-users, we would want to do better, but the approach taken here seems like the correct trade-off for this case. Caleb Welton
2009-12-29Add an index on pg_inherits.inhparent, and use it to avoid seqscans inTom Lane
find_inheritance_children(). This is a complete no-op in databases without any inheritance. In databases where there are just a few entries in pg_inherits, it could conceivably be a small loss. However, in databases with many inheritance parents, it can be a big win.
2009-12-29Add the ability to store inheritance-tree statistics in pg_statistic,Tom Lane
and teach ANALYZE to compute such stats for tables that have subclasses. Per my proposal of yesterday. autovacuum still needs to be taught about running ANALYZE on parent tables when their subclasses change, but the feature is useful even without that.
2009-12-29Previous fix for temporary file management broke returning a set fromHeikki Linnakangas
PL/pgSQL function within an exception handler. Make sure we use the right resource owner when we create the tuplestore to hold returned tuples. Simplify tuplestore API so that the caller doesn't need to be in the right memory context when calling tuplestore_put* functions. tuplestore.c automatically switches to the memory context used when the tuplestore was created. Tuplesort was already modified like this earlier. This patch also removes the now useless MemoryContextSwitch calls from callers. Report by Aleksei on pgsql-bugs on Dec 22 2009. Backpatch to 8.1, like the previous patch that broke this.
2009-12-28Remove PGDLLIMPORT used for binary upgrade; must be on the externs, per Tom.Bruce Momjian
2009-12-28Add PGDLLIMPORT for binary_upgrade global variables so shared objectBruce Momjian
libraries can access them.
2009-12-28Remove non-ascii characters from source code.Bruce Momjian
2009-12-27Avoid memory leak if pgstat_vacuum_stat is interrupted partway through.Tom Lane
The temporary hash tables made by pgstat_collect_oids should be allocated in a short-term memory context, which is not the default behavior of hash_create. Noted while looking through hash_create calls in connection with Robert Haas' recent complaint. This is a pre-existing bug, but it doesn't seem important enough to back-patch. The hash table is not so large that it would matter unless this happened many times within a session, which seems quite unlikely.
2009-12-27Remove a couple of unnecessary calls of CreateCacheMemoryContext. TheseTom Lane
probably got there via blind copy-and-paste from one of the legitimate callers, so rearrange and comment that code a bit to make it clearer that this isn't a necessary prerequisite to hash_create. Per observation from Robert Haas.
2009-12-27Remove now unreferenced variable.Magnus Hagander
2009-12-27If the MSVCRT module is not found in the current binary, proceed to updateMagnus Hagander
system and local environments anyway, instead of aborting. (This will happen in a MSVC build with no or very few external libraries linked in)
2009-12-27Add backend and pg_dump code to allow preservation of pg_enum oids, forBruce Momjian
use in binary upgrades. Bump catalog version for detection by pg_migrator of new backend API.
2009-12-26Zero-label enums:Bruce Momjian
Allow enums to be created with zero labels, for use during binary upgrade.
2009-12-25Fix brain fade in join-removal patch: a pushed-down clause in the outer join'sTom Lane
restrict list is not just something to ignore, it's actually grounds to abandon the optimization entirely. Per bug #5255 from Matteo Beccati.
2009-12-25Upgrade to latest ppport.h. Patch from Tim Bunce.Andrew Dunstan
2009-12-24Rename EnumValuesCreate() single-letter variable names to usefulBruce Momjian
variable names.
2009-12-24Binary upgrade:Bruce Momjian
Modify pg_dump --binary-upgrade and add backend support routines to support the preservation of pg_type oids when doing a binary upgrade. This allows user-defined composite types and arrays to be binary upgraded.
2009-12-24Fix wrong WAL info value generated when gistContinueInsert() performs anTom Lane
index page split. This would result in index corruption, or even more likely an error during WAL replay, if we were unlucky enough to crash during end-of-recovery cleanup after having completed an incomplete GIST insertion. Yoichi Hirai
2009-12-23Allow the index name to be omitted in CREATE INDEX, causing the system toTom Lane
choose an index name the same as it would do for an unnamed index constraint. (My recent changes to the index naming logic have helped to ensure that this will be a reasonable choice.) Per a suggestion from Peter. A necessary side-effect is to promote CONCURRENTLY to type_func_name_keyword status, ie, it can't be a table/column/index name anymore unless quoted. This is not all bad, since we have heard more than once of people typing CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY ON foo (...) and getting a normal index build of an index named "concurrently", which was not what they wanted. Now this syntax will result in a concurrent build of an index with system-chosen name; which they can rename afterwards if they want something else.
2009-12-23Remove code that attempted to rename index columns to keep them in sync withTom Lane
their underlying table columns. That code was not bright enough to cope with collision situations (ie, new name conflicts with some other column of the index). Since there is no functional reason to do this at all, trying to upgrade the logic to be bulletproof doesn't seem worth the trouble. This change means that both the index name and the column names of an index are set when it's created, and won't be automatically changed when the underlying table columns are renamed. Neatnik DBAs are still free to rename them manually, of course.
2009-12-23Add basic build support for Visual Studio 2008, without resorting toMagnus Hagander
generating the build files for 2005 and then converting them.
2009-12-23Always pass catalog id to the options validator function specified inHeikki Linnakangas
CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER. Arguably it wasn't a bug because the documentation said that it's passed the catalog ID or zero, but surely we should provide it when it's known. And there isn't currently any scenario where it's not known, and I can't imagine having one in the future either, so better remove the "or zero" escape hatch and always pass a valid catalog ID. Backpatch to 8.4. Martin Pihlak
2009-12-23Rename pg_dump.c TypeInfo variable tinfo to tyinfo, for clarity.Bruce Momjian
2009-12-23Adjust naming of indexes and their columns per recent discussion.Tom Lane
Index expression columns are now named after the FigureColname result for their expressions, rather than always being "pg_expression_N". Digits are appended to this name if needed to make the column name unique within the index. (That happens for regular columns too, thus fixing the old problem that CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo (f1, f1) fails. Before exclusion indexes there was no real reason to do such a thing, but now maybe there is.) Default names for indexes and associated constraints now include the column names of all their columns, not only the first one as in previous practice. (Of course, this will be truncated as needed to fit in NAMEDATALEN. Also, pkey indexes retain the historical behavior of not naming specific columns at all.) An example of the results: regression=# create table foo (f1 int, f2 text, regression(# exclude (f1 with =, lower(f2) with =)); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / EXCLUDE will create implicit index "foo_f1_lower_exclusion" for table "foo" CREATE TABLE regression=# \d foo_f1_lower_exclusion Index "public.foo_f1_lower_exclusion" Column | Type | Definition --------+---------+------------ f1 | integer | f1 lower | text | lower(f2) btree, for table "public.foo"
2009-12-22Disallow comments on columns of relation types other than tables, views,Tom Lane
and composite types, which are the only relkinds for which pg_dump support exists for dumping column comments. There is no obvious usefulness for comments on columns of sequences or toast tables; and while comments on index columns might have some value, it's not worth the risk of compatibility problems due to possible changes in the algorithm for assigning names to index columns. Per discussion. In consequence, remove now-dead code for copying such comments in CREATE TABLE LIKE.
2009-12-22In CREATE SEQUENCE dump, put MINVALUE before MAXVALUE so it reads better.Peter Eisentraut
2009-12-21More cleanups for the recent large object permissions patch.Robert Haas
Rewrite or adjust various comments for clarity. Remove one bogus comment that doesn't reflect what the code actually does. Improve the description of the lo_compat_privileges option.
2009-12-20There is no good reason for the CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING COMMENTS code toTom Lane
have hard-wired knowledge of the rules for naming index columns. It can just look at the actual names in the source index, instead. Do some minor formatting cleanup too.
2009-12-19Translation updatesPeter Eisentraut
2009-12-19Add a whitespace to fix the query to dump large objects.Itagaki Takahiro
PL/pgSQL-by-default patch broke the code for 8.3 <= server_version < 8.5.
2009-12-19Bump catversion to reflect the fact that HS patch changed pg_procTom Lane
contents, and PG_CONTROL_VERSION to reflect the fact that it changed pg_control contents. (I see we did at least remember to change XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC for the WAL contents changes.)
2009-12-19plpgsql patch broke the MSVC build, too.Tom Lane
2009-12-19Update ecpg regression tests to plpgsql installed by default.Alvaro Herrera
2009-12-19Allow read only connections during recovery, known as Hot Standby.Simon Riggs
Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record. New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far. This commit is the basic patch. Additional changes will follow in this release to enhance some aspects of behaviour, notably improved handling of conflicts, deadlock detection and query cancellation. Changes to VACUUM FULL are also required. Simon Riggs, with significant and lengthy review by Heikki Linnakangas, including streamlined redesign of snapshot creation and two-phase commit. Important contributions from Florian Pflug, Mark Kirkwood, Merlin Moncure, Greg Stark, Gianni Ciolli, Gabriele Bartolini, Hannu Krosing, Robert Haas, Tatsuo Ishii, Hiroyuki Yamada plus support and feedback from many other community members.
2009-12-19binary migration: pg_migratorBruce Momjian
Add comments about places where system oids have to be preserved for binary migration.
2009-12-18Install server-side language PL/pgSQL by default.Bruce Momjian
2009-12-18Force the TZ environment variable to be set during initdb. This is toTom Lane
short-circuit the rather expensive identify_system_timezone() procedure, which we have no real need for during initdb since nothing done here depends on the timezone setting. Since we launch quite a few standalone backends during the initdb sequence, this adds up to a significant savings, and seems worth doing to save developer time even though it will hardly matter to end users. Per my report today on pgsql-hackers.
