2001-07-19Minor performance improvement in MultiRecordFreeSpace.Tom Lane
2001-07-19Arrange to recycle old XLOG log segment files as new segment files,Tom Lane
rather than deleting them only to have to create more. Steady state is 2*CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS + WAL_FILES + 1 segment files, which will simply be renamed rather than constantly deleted and recreated. To make this safe, added current XLOG file/offset number to page header of XLOG pages, so that an un-overwritten page from an old incarnation of a logfile can be reliably told from a valid page. This change means that if you try to restart postmaster in a CVS-tip database after installing the change, you'll get a complaint about bad XLOG page magic number. If you don't want to initdb, run contrib/pg_resetxlog (and be sure you shut down the old postmaster cleanly).
2001-07-18New-style vacuum neglected to update pg_class statistics about indexesTom Lane
if there were no deletions to do.
2001-07-17Disallow non-cachable functions in functional indexes and in indexTom Lane
predicates. Per suggestion from Hiroshi.
2001-07-17Avoid assuming that pg_index table entries have unique OIDs, or evenTom Lane
that they have OIDs at all (the primary key for this table is indexrelid, not OID). Simplify overly complex query to get name of primary key.
2001-07-16Improve documentation about reasoning behind the order of operationsTom Lane
in GetSnapshotData, GetNewTransactionId, CommitTransaction, AbortTransaction, etc. Correct race condition in transaction status testing in HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum --- this wasn't important for old VACUUM with exclusive lock on its table, but it sure is important now. All per pghackers discussion 7/11/01 and 7/12/01.
2001-07-16Fix fault in message.Peter Eisentraut
2001-07-16Remove some unused node symbolsBruce Momjian
2001-07-16More EXTEND INDEX removal.Bruce Momjian
Martijn van Oosterhout
2001-07-16Do not push down quals into subqueries that have LIMIT/OFFSET clauses,Tom Lane
since the added qual could change the set of rows that get past the LIMIT. Per discussion on pgsql-sql 7/15/01.
2001-07-16Partial indexes work again, courtesy of Martijn van Oosterhout.Tom Lane
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough. However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.
2001-07-15Restructure index AM interface for index building and index tuple deletion,Tom Lane
per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet, but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns. Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this, gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with the performance problems we've heard about occasionally). Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long ago for btree, but missed the other guys. Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.
2001-07-15Add ORDER BY to a couple of test queries whose output ordering is notTom Lane
as predictable as it used to be, due to recycling of free space with new VACUUM.
2001-07-15NLS for libpq. Clean up the message formats and change the documentationPeter Eisentraut
accordingly.
2001-07-15Change xgettext rule to run in the source tree, so we don't have thePeter Eisentraut
absolute paths of the source tree in the po files. Also, run msgfmt with -c option in maintainer-check.
2001-07-15Make sure the build tree is before the source tree in the include path.Peter Eisentraut

* Make n of CHAR(n)/VARCHAR(n) the number of letters, not bytes
2001-07-15The attached patch fixes problems with the JDBC driver handling longBruce Momjian
null terminated strings. The FE/BE protocol sends in some cases null terminated strings to the client. The docs for the FE/BE protocol state that there is no limit on the size of a null terminated string sent to the client and a client should be coded using an expanding buffer to deal with large strings. The old code did not do this and gave an error if a null terminated string was greater than either 4 or 8K. It appears that with the advent of TOAST very long SQL statements are becoming more common, and apparently some error messages from the backend include the SQL statement thus easily exceeding the 8K limit in the old code. In fixing I also cleaned up some calls in the JDBC fastpath code that were not doing character set conversion under multibyte, and removed some methods that were no longer needed. I also removed a potential threading problem with a shared variable that was being used in Connection.java. Thanks to Steve Wampler for discovering the problem and sending the initial diffs that were the basis of this patch. thanks, --Barry
2001-07-13Initial implementation of concurrent VACUUM. Ifdef'd out for the moment,Tom Lane
because index locking issues are not handled correctly yet. Need to go work on the index AMs next.

2001-07-12indicies to indexes from Neil ConwayBruce Momjian
2001-07-12Remove grammar restrictions on order of optional clauses in CREATE GROUP.Tom Lane
From Vince Vielhaber.

2001-07-12Add win32 c++ files.Bruce Momjian
2001-07-12Add missing encode file.Bruce Momjian
2001-07-12Create a new HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() routine in tqual.c that embodies theTom Lane
validity checking rules for VACUUM. Make some other rearrangements of the VACUUM code to allow more code to be shared between full and lazy VACUUM. Minor code cleanups and added comments for TransactionId manipulations.

2001-07-11Disable COPY TO/FROM on views.Bruce Momjian
2001-07-11Better document use of ident on localhost, per Tom Lane's idea.Bruce Momjian
2001-07-11Move export to a separate line, per Peter E.Bruce Momjian
2001-07-11Instead of believing SOMAXCONN from the system header files (which isTom Lane
a lie on many Unixen), invoke listen() with MIN(MaxBackends*2, 10000). The clamp value 10000 is configurable in config.h.in, if that proves to be necessary --- hopefully it won't.
2001-07-11I updated the patch to use the SET AUTHORIZATION { INVOKER | DEFINER }Bruce Momjian
terminology. Also, the function owner is now determined and saved at compile time (no gotchas here, right?)/ Mark Volpe
2001-07-11Remove direct calls of index_insert(), instead use ExecInsertIndexTuples().Tom Lane
This makes VACUUM work properly with partial indexes, and avoids memory leakage with functional indexes. Also, suppress complaint about fewer index tuples than heap tuples when the index is a partial index. From Martijn van Oosterhout.
2001-07-11The SQL preprocessor ecpg generates "initially deferrable" fromBruce Momjian
INITIALLY DEFERRED in source code. cf. preproc.y:1455. Unknown.
2001-07-11Move export PGDATA to the proper place. Quote some variable substitutions.Bruce Momjian
2001-07-11Fix duplication of -D during pg_ctl restart, from Peter E's patch.Bruce Momjian
2001-07-10Changes from Vince Vielhaber to allow the optional clauses of CREATETom Lane
USER and ALTER USER to appear in any order, not only the fixed order they used to be required to appear in. Also, some changes from Tom Lane to create a FULL option for VACUUM; it doesn't do anything yet, but I needed to change many of the same files to make that happen, so now seemed like a good time.
2001-07-10Support fake root install, separate build dir, dependency tracking, ourPeter Eisentraut
choice of compiler and flags, uninstall, and peculiar Python installation layouts for PyGreSql. Also install into site-packages now, as officially recommended. And pgdb.py is also installed now, used to be forgotten.
2001-07-10Remove formatter's assumption that year would never exceed four digits.Tom Lane
Enforce MAXTZLEN for all datestyles, not just some. Remove macro definitions that were redundant with datetime.h.
2001-07-10Ensure macros are adequately parenthesized.Tom Lane
2001-07-10Remove unnecessarily enthusiastic parenthesizing in reverse-listing ofTom Lane
IS NULL, IS TRUE, and friends (my fault...)
2001-07-09Fix rule rewriter so that new ordering of ON INSERT actions appliesTom Lane
in cases of qualified rules as well as unqualified ones. Tweak rules test to avoid cluttering output with dummy SELECT results. Update documentation to match code.
2001-07-09Add SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock mode, coming soon to a VACUUM near you.Tom Lane
