2010-11-25For libpq/Makefile OPT_PGPORT, remove .o extension after we testBruce Momjian
configure's LIBOBJS. Should fix buildfarm failures.
2010-11-25Add PQping and PQpingParams to libpq to allow detection of the server'sBruce Momjian
status, including a status where the server is running but refuses a postgres connection. Have pg_ctl use this new function. This fixes the case where pg_ctl reports that the server is not running (cannot connect) but in fact it is running.
2010-11-25Fix getaddrinfo() in pgport to use proper parameters, as detected byBruce Momjian
Win32 buildfarm members.
2010-11-25Restructure how libpq includes external C files, for clarity.Bruce Momjian
2010-11-25Object access hook framework, with post-creation hook.Robert Haas
After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types of events that might require similar treatment. KaiGai Kohei, with minor adjustments.
2010-11-25Add inet_net_ntop.c to .gitignore.Robert Haas
2010-11-25Remove belt-and-suspenders guards against buffer pin leaks.Robert Haas
Forcibly releasing all leftover buffer pins should be unnecessary now that we have a robust ResourceOwner mechanism, and it significantly increases the cost of process shutdown. Instead, in an assert-enabled build, assert that no pins are held; in a non-assert-enabled build, do nothing.
2010-11-24Properly add new inet_net_ntop file to libpq Makefile.Bruce Momjian
2010-11-24When reporting the server as not responding, if the hostname wasBruce Momjian
supplied, also print the IP address. This allows IPv4 and IPv6 failures to be distinguished. Also useful when a hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses. Also, remove use of inet_ntoa() and use our own inet_net_ntop() in all places, including in libpq, because it is thread-safe.
2010-11-24Create the system catalog infrastructure needed for KNNGIST.Tom Lane
This commit adds columns amoppurpose and amopsortfamily to pg_amop, and column amcanorderbyop to pg_am. For the moment all the entries in amcanorderbyop are "false", since the underlying support isn't there yet. Also, extend the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands with [ FOR SEARCH | FOR ORDER BY sort_operator_family ] clauses to allow the new columns of pg_amop to be populated, and create pg_dump support for dumping that information. I also added some documentation, although it's perhaps a bit premature given that the feature doesn't do anything useful yet. Teodor Sigaev, Robert Haas, Tom Lane
2010-11-23Propagate ALTER TYPE operations to typed tablesPeter Eisentraut
This adds RESTRICT/CASCADE flags to ALTER TYPE ... ADD/DROP/ALTER/ RENAME ATTRIBUTE to control whether to alter typed tables as well.
2010-11-23Remove useless whitespace at end of linesPeter Eisentraut
2010-11-22Centralize some ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA checks.Robert Haas
Any flavor of ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA fails if (1) the object is already in the new schema, (2) either the old or new schema is a temp schema, or (3) either the old or new schema is the TOAST schema. Extraced from a patch by Dimitri Fontaine, with additional hacking by me.
2010-11-22Remove GucContext parameter from ParseConfigFileAlvaro Herrera
2010-11-21Put back accidentally-deleted quote_literal() regression tests.Robert Haas
2010-11-21Bump catversion. Should have done this as part of format(text) patch.Robert Haas
2010-11-20Add new SQL function, format(text).Robert Haas
Currently, three conversion format specifiers are supported: %s for a string, %L for an SQL literal, and %I for an SQL identifier. The latter two are deliberately designed not to overlap with what sprintf() already supports, in case we want to add more of sprintf()'s functionality here later. Patch by Pavel Stehule, heavily revised by me. Reviewed by Jeff Janes and, in earlier versions, by Itagaki Takahiro and Tom Lane.
2010-11-20Further cleanup of indxpath logic related to IndexOptInfo.opfamily array.Tom Lane
We no longer need the terminating zero entry in opfamily[], so get rid of it. Also replace assorted ad-hoc looping logic with simple for and foreach constructs. This code is now noticeably more readable than it was an hour ago; credit to Robert for seeing that it could be simplified.
2010-11-20Minor cleanup of indxpath.c.Robert Haas
Eliminate some superfluous notational complexity around match_clause_to_indexcol(), and rip out the DoneMatchingIndexKeys crock.
2010-11-20Assorted further cleanup for integer-conversion patch.Tom Lane
Avoid depending on LL notation, which is likely to not work in pre-C99 compilers; don't pointlessly use INT32_MIN/INT64_MIN in code that has the numerical value hard-wired into it anyway; remove some gratuitous style inconsistencies between pg_ltoa and pg_lltoa; fix int2 test case so it actually tests int2.
2010-11-20Expose quote_literal_cstr() from core.Robert Haas
This eliminates the need for inefficient implementions of this functionality in both contrib/dblink and contrib/tablefunc, so remove them. The upcoming patch implementing an in-core format() function will also require this functionality. In passing, add some regression tests.
2010-11-20Update int8-exp-three-digits.out to match new contents of int8.out.Robert Haas
2010-11-20Attempt to fix breakage caused by signed integer conversion patch.Robert Haas
Use INT_MIN rather than INT32_MIN as we do elsewhere in the code, and try to work around nonexistence of INT64_MIN if necessary. Adjust the new regression tests to something hopefully saner, per observation by Tom Lane.
2010-11-19Fix leakage of cost_limit when multiple autovacuum workers are active.Tom Lane
When using default autovacuum_vac_cost_limit, autovac_balance_cost relied on VacuumCostLimit to contain the correct global value ... but after the first time through in a particular worker process, it didn't, because we'd trashed it in previous iterations. Depending on the state of other autovac workers, this could result in a steady reduction of the effective cost_limit setting as a particular worker processed more and more tables, causing it to go slower and slower. Spotted by Simon Poole (bug #5759). Fix by saving and restoring the GUC variables in the loop in do_autovacuum. In passing, improve a few comments. Back-patch to 8.3 ... the cost rebalancing code has been buggy since it was put in.
2010-11-19Speed up conversion of signed integers to C strings.Robert Haas
A hand-coded implementation turns out to be much faster than calling printf(). In passing, add a few more regresion tests. Andres Freund, with assorted, mostly cosmetic changes.
2010-11-19Improve relation width estimation for subqueries.Tom Lane
As per the ancient comment for set_rel_width, it really wasn't much good for relations that aren't plain tables: it would never find any stats and would always fall back on datatype-based estimates, which are often pretty silly. Fix that by copying up width estimates from the subquery planning process. At some point we might want to do this for CTEs too, but that would be a significantly more invasive patch because the sub-PlannerInfo is no longer accessible by the time it's needed. I refrained from doing anything about that, partly for fear of breaking the unmerged CTE-related patches. In passing, also generate less bogus width estimates for whole-row Vars. Per a gripe from Jon Nelson.
2010-11-18Improve plpgsql's error reporting for no-such-column cases.Tom Lane
Given a column reference foo.bar, where there is a composite plpgsql variable foo but it doesn't contain a column bar, the pre-9.0 coding would immediately throw a "record foo has no field bar" error. In 9.0 the parser hook instead falls through to let the core parser see if it can resolve the reference. If not, you get a complaint about "missing FROM-clause entry for table foo", which while in some sense correct isn't terribly helpful. Complicate things a bit so that we can throw the old error message if neither the core parser nor the hook are able to resolve the column reference, while not changing the behavior in any other case. Per bug #5757 from Andrey Galkin.
2010-11-18Add pg_describe_object functionAlvaro Herrera
This function is useful to obtain textual descriptions of objects as stored in pg_depend.
2010-11-18Dept of second thoughts: don't try to push LIMIT below a SRF.Tom Lane
If we have Limit->Result->Sort, the Result might be projecting a tlist that contains a set-returning function. If so, it's possible for the SRF to sometimes return zero rows, which means we could need to fetch more than N rows from the Sort in order to satisfy LIMIT N. So top-N sorting cannot be used in this scenario.
2010-11-18Remove unused parameter. Patch by Shigeru Hanada.Heikki Linnakangas
2010-11-18Further fallout from the MergeAppend patch.Tom Lane
Fix things so that top-N sorting can be used in child Sort nodes of a MergeAppend node, when there is a LIMIT and no intervening joins or grouping. Actually doing this on the executor side isn't too bad, but it's a bit messier to get the planner to cost it properly. Per gripe from Robert Haas. In passing, fix an oversight in the original top-N-sorting patch: query_planner should not assume that a LIMIT can be used to make an explicit sort cheaper when there will be grouping or aggregation in between. Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm not sure the mistake is serious enough to be a real problem in practice.
2010-11-17Make TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY restart sequences transactionally.Tom Lane
In the previous coding, we simply issued ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART commands, which do not roll back on error. This meant that an error between truncating and committing left the sequences out of sync with the table contents, with potentially bad consequences as were noted in a Warning on the TRUNCATE man page. To fix, create a new storage file (relfilenode) for a sequence that is to be reset due to RESTART IDENTITY. If the transaction aborts, we'll automatically revert to the old storage file. This acts just like a rewriting ALTER TABLE operation. A penalty is that we have to take exclusive lock on the sequence, but since we've already got exclusive lock on its owning table, that seems unlikely to be much of a problem. The interaction of this with usual nontransactional behaviors of sequence operations is a bit weird, but it's hard to see what would be completely consistent. Our choice is to discard cached-but-unissued sequence values both when the RESTART is executed, and at rollback if any; but to not touch the currval() state either time. In passing, move the sequence reset operations to happen before not after any AFTER TRUNCATE triggers are fired. The previous ordering was not logically sensible, but was forced by the need to minimize inconsistency if the triggers caused an error. Transactional rollback is a much better solution to that. Patch by Steve Singer, rather heavily adjusted by me.
2010-11-17Additional fixes for parallel makePeter Eisentraut
Add some additional dependencies to constrain the build order to prevent parallel make from failing. In the case of src/Makefile, this is likely to be too complicated to be worth maintaining, so just add .NOTPARALLEL to get the old for-loop-like behavior. More fine-tuning might be necessary for some platforms or configurations.
2010-11-16Require VALUE keyword when extending an enum type. Based on a patch from ↵Andrew Dunstan
Alvaro Herrera.
2010-11-16Send paramHandle to subprocesses as 64-bit on Win64Magnus Hagander
The handle to the shared memory segment containing startup parameters was sent as 32-bit even on 64-bit systems. Since HANDLEs appear to be allocated sequentially this shouldn't be a problem until we reach 2^32 open handles in the postmaster, but a 64-bit value should be sent across as 64-bit, and not zero out the top 32 bits. Noted by Tom Lane.
2010-11-16The GiST scan algorithm uses LSNs to detect concurrent pages splits, butHeikki Linnakangas
temporary indexes are not WAL-logged. We used a constant LSN for temporary indexes, on the assumption that we don't need to worry about concurrent page splits in temporary indexes because they're only visible to the current session. But that assumption is wrong, it's possible to insert rows and split pages in the same session, while a scan is in progress. For example, by opening a cursor and fetching some rows, and INSERTing new rows before fetching some more. Fix by generating fake increasing LSNs, used in place of real LSNs in temporary GiST indexes.
2010-11-15Fix aboriginal mistake in plpython's set-returning-function support.Tom Lane
We must stay in the function's SPI context until done calling the iterator that returns the set result. Otherwise, any attempt to invoke SPI features in the python code called by the iterator will malfunction. Diagnosis and patch by Jan Urbanski, per bug report from Jean-Baptiste Quenot. Back-patch to 8.2; there was no support for SRFs in previous versions of plpython.
2010-11-15Add new buffers_backend_fsync field to pg_stat_bgwriter.Robert Haas
This new field counts the number of times that a backend which writes a buffer out to the OS must also fsync() it. This happens when the bgwriter fsync request queue is full, and is generally detrimental to performance, so it's good to know when it's happening. Along the way, log a new message at level DEBUG1 whenever we fail to hand off an fsync, so that the problem can also be seen in examination of log files (if the logging level is cranked up high enough). Greg Smith, with minor tweaks by me.
2010-11-15Remove outdated comments from the regression test files.Robert Haas
Since 2004, int2 and int4 operators do detect overflow; this was fixed by commit 4171bb869f234281a13bb862d3b1e577bf336242. Extracted from a larger patch by Andres Freund.
2010-11-15Fix copy-and-pasteo a little more completely.Robert Haas
copydir.c is no longer in src/port
2010-11-15Fix copy-and-pasteo.Alvaro Herrera
2010-11-15Avoid spurious Hot Standby conflicts from btree delete records.Simon Riggs
Similar conflicts were already avoided for related record types. Massive over-caution resulted in a usability bug. Clear theoretical basis for doing this is now confirmed by me. Request to remove from Heikki (twice), over-caution by me.
2010-11-15Adjust comments about what's needed to avoid make 3.80 bug.Tom Lane
... based on further tracing through that code.
2010-11-14Correct poor grammar in comment.Robert Haas
2010-11-14Cleanup various comparisons with the constant "true".Robert Haas
Itagaki Takahiro, with slight modifications.
2010-11-14Fix canAcceptConnections() bugs introduced by replication-related patches.Tom Lane
We must not return any "okay to proceed" result code without having checked for too many children, else we might fail later on when trying to add the new child to one of the per-child state arrays. It's not clear whether this oversight explains Stefan Kaltenbrunner's recent report, but it could certainly produce a similar symptom. Back-patch to 8.4; the logic was not broken before that.
2010-11-14Work around make 3.80 bug with long expansions of $(eval).Tom Lane
3.80 breaks if the expansion of $(eval) is long enough to require expansion of its internal variable_buffer. For the purposes of $(recurse) that means it'll work so long as no single evaluation of _create_recursive_target produces more than 195 bytes. We can manage that by looping over subdirectories outside the call instead of complicating the generated rule. This coding is simpler and more readable anyway. Or at least, this works for me. We'll see if the buildfarm likes it.
2010-11-13Add missing outfuncs.c support for struct InhRelation.Tom Lane
This is needed to support debug_print_parse, per report from Jon Nelson. Cursory testing via the regression tests suggests we aren't missing anything else.
2010-11-12Attempt to fix MSVC builds broken by parallel make changes.Andrew Dunstan
2010-11-12Move copydir() prototype into its own header file.Robert Haas
Having this in src/include/port.h makes no sense, now that copydir.c lives in src/backend/strorage rather than src/port. Along the way, remove an obsolete comment from contrib/pg_upgrade that makes reference to the old location.
