2007-09-23Temporarily modify tsearch regression tests to suppress notice that comesTom Lane
out at erratic times, because it is creating a totally unacceptable level of noise in our buildfarm results. This patch can be reverted when and if the code is fixed to not issue notices during cache reload events.
2007-09-22Fix cost estimates for EXISTS subqueries that are evaluated as initPlansTom Lane
(because they are uncorrelated with the immediate parent query). We were charging the full run cost to the parent node, disregarding the fact that only one row need be fetched for EXISTS. While this would only be a cosmetic issue in most cases, it might possibly affect planning outcomes if the parent query were itself a subquery to some upper query. Per recent discussion with Steve Crawford.
2007-09-22Replace calls to external dir program with perlish globs and File::FindAndrew Dunstan
calls. Fixes complaint fron Hannes Eder, whose environment found a different dir program.
2007-09-22Fix erroneous Assert() in syslogger process start in EXEC_BACKEND case,Tom Lane
per ITAGAKI Takahiro. Also, rewrite syslogger_forkexec() in hopes of eliminating the confusion in the first place.
2007-09-22Fix bogus calculation of potential output string length in translate().Tom Lane
2007-09-22Parenthesize macro arguments safely. I see no bug among the currentTom Lane
uses of PG_DETOAST_DATUM_SLICE, but it's clearly trouble waiting to happen.
2007-09-22Although I'd misdiagnosed the reason for the recent failures onTom Lane
buildfarm member grebe, I see no reason to revert the 1-byte-header-friendly changes I made in varlena.c. Instead, tweak the code a little bit to get more advantage out of that.
2007-09-22Doh --- what's really happening on buildfarm member grebe is that itsTom Lane
malloc returns NULL for malloc(0). Defend against that case.
2007-09-22Go back to using a separate method for doing ILIKE for single byteAndrew Dunstan
character encodings that doesn't involve calling lower(). This should cure the performance regression in this case complained of by Guillaume Smet. It still leaves the horrid performance for multi-byte encodings introduced in 8.2, but there's no obvious solution for that in sight.
2007-09-22Fix varlena.c routines to allow 1-byte-header text values. This is nowTom Lane
demonstrably necessary for text_substring() since regexp_split functions may pass it such a value; and we might as well convert the whole file at once. Per buildfarm results (though I wonder why most machines aren't showing a failure).
2007-09-21Fix regex, LIKE, and some other second-rank text-manipulation functionsTom Lane
to not cause needless copying of text datums that have 1-byte headers. Greg Stark, in response to performance gripe from Guillaume Smet and ITAGAKI Takahiro.
2007-09-21Improve handling of prune/no-prune decisions by storing a page's oldestTom Lane
unpruned XMAX in its header. At the cost of 4 bytes per page, this keeps us from performing heap_page_prune when there's no chance of pruning anything. Seems to be necessary per Heikki's preliminary performance testing.
2007-09-21Change tqual.c tests to use !TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId, rather thanTom Lane
TransactionIdDidAbort, when handling the case that xmin is one of the current transaction's XIDs and the tuple has been deleted. xmax must also be one of the current transaction's XIDs, since no one else can see it yet, and it's cheaper to look at local state than shared state to find out if xmax aborted. Per an idea of Heikki's.
2007-09-21Make some simple performance improvements in TransactionIdIsInProgress().Tom Lane
For XIDs of our own transaction and subtransactions, it's cheaper to ask TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId() than to look in shared memory. Also, the xids[] work array is always the same size within any given process, so malloc it just once instead of doing a palloc/pfree on every call; aside from being faster this lets us get rid of some goto's, since we no longer have any end-of-function pfree to do. Both ideas by Heikki.
2007-09-21Fix comments that misspelled TransactionIdIsInProgress, per Heikki.Tom Lane
2007-09-21Removed superfluous ECPGfree() call.Michael Meskes
2007-09-21If we're gonna provide an --enable-profiling configure option, surelyTom Lane
it ought to know that you need -DLINUX_PROFILE on Linux.
2007-09-21Insert a hack in pl/tcl to disable Tcl's built-in Notifier subsystem, whichTom Lane
has a bad habit of launching multiple threads within the backend and thereby causing all kinds of havoc. Fortunately, we don't need it, and recent Tcl versions provide an easy way to disable it. Diagnosis and fix by Steve Marshall, Paul Bayer, and Doug Knight of WSI Corporation.
2007-09-20Solaris portability fix that was previously made in contrib/tsearch2Tom Lane
but got lost from the version committed to main tree. Per Greg Stark.
2007-09-20Revert ill-fated patch to release exclusive lock early after vacuumTom Lane
truncates a table. Introduces race condition, as shown by buildfarm failures.
2007-09-20Cleanup items from csvlog changes, per ITAGAKI Takahiro.Andrew Dunstan
2007-09-20Fix msvc warnings, patch by Hannes Eder <Hannes@HannesEder.net>Teodor Sigaev
2007-09-20HOT updates. When we update a tuple without changing any of its indexedTom Lane
columns, and the new version can be stored on the same heap page, we no longer generate extra index entries for the new version. Instead, index searches follow the HOT-chain links to ensure they find the correct tuple version. In addition, this patch introduces the ability to "prune" dead tuples on a per-page basis, without having to do a complete VACUUM pass to recover space. VACUUM is still needed to clean up dead index entries, however. Pavan Deolasee, with help from a bunch of other people.
2007-09-19Prevent corr() from returning the wrong results for negative correlationNeil Conway
values. The previous coding essentially assumed that x = sqrt(x*x), which does not hold for x < 0. Thanks to Jie Zhang at Greenplum and Gavin Sherry for reporting this issue.
2007-09-18Close previously open holes for invalidly encoded data to enter theAndrew Dunstan
database via builtin functions, as recently discussed on -hackers. chr() now returns a character in the database encoding. For UTF8 encoded databases the argument is treated as a Unicode code point. For other multi-byte encodings the argument must designate a strict ascii character, or an error is raised, as is also the case if the argument is 0. ascii() is adjusted so that it remains the inverse of chr(). The two argument form of convert() is gone, and the three argument form now takes a bytea first argument and returns a bytea. To cover this loss three new functions are introduced: . convert_from(bytea, name) returns text - converts the first argument from the named encoding to the database encoding . convert_to(text, name) returns bytea - converts the first argument from the database encoding to the named encoding . length(bytea, name) returns int - gives the length of the first argument in characters in the named encoding

2007-09-17Remove extra tab in postgresql.confBruce Momjian
2007-09-16Remove Assert(BgWriterShmem != NULL), which is rather pointless sinceTom Lane
we'd dump core anyway immediately afterward if it were null; and it seems to confuse some versions of icc into generating bad code. Per report from Sergey Koposov. Patched in HEAD only, for the moment, since this is only likely to affect developers.
2007-09-16Fix overflow in extract(epoch from interval) for intervals exceeding 68 years.Tom Lane
Seems to have been introduced in 8.1 by careless SECS_PER_DAY search-and-replace.
2007-09-16Fix aboriginal mistake in lazy VACUUM's code for truncating awayTom Lane
no-longer-needed pages at the end of a table. We thought we could throw away pages containing HEAPTUPLE_DEAD tuples; but this is not so, because such tuples very likely have index entries pointing at them, and we wouldn't have removed the index entries. The problem only emerges in a somewhat unlikely race condition: the dead tuples have to have been inserted by a transaction that later aborted, and this has to have happened between VACUUM's initial scan of the page and then rechecking it for empty in count_nondeletable_pages. But that timespan will include an index-cleaning pass, so it's not all that hard to hit. This seems to explain a couple of previously unsolved bug reports.

2007-09-14Add tsearch tab completion support:Bruce Momjian
* adds a few missing words to some commands (like adding GIN as a valid index type or OWNED BY for ALTER SEQUENCE,...) * support for ALTER TABLE foo ENABLE/DISABLE REPLICA TRIGGER/RULE * autocomplete CREATE DATABASE foo TEMPLATE (mostly done to prevent conflicts with the TEMPLATE keyword for text search) * support for ALTER/CREATE/DROP TEXT SEARCH as well as COMMENT ON TEXT SEARCH and the corresponding psql backslash commands. This proved a little more difficult than expected due to the fact that words_after_create[] is used for two purposes - one is to provide a list of words that follow immediatly after CREATE (or DROP) and the other purpose is to use it for autocompleting anywhere in the statement if the word in that struct is found with a query. Since TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION|DICTIONARY|TEMPLATE|PARSER results in 3 words instead of one (as all the other words in that list are) I added a flag to the struct to tell create_command_generator() to skip that entry for autocompleting immediatly after CREATE which feels like a dirty hack (but that holds true for a lot of code in tab-complete.c).

2007-09-13Fix typo in typecasting.Teodor Sigaev
patch from ITAGAKI Takahiro <itagaki.takahiro@oss.ntt.co.jp>
2007-09-12Fix a memory leak in the autovacuum launcher code. Noted by Darcy Buskermolen,Alvaro Herrera
who reported it privately to me.
2007-09-12Redefine the lp_flags field of item pointers as having four states, ratherTom Lane
than two independent bits (one of which was never used in heap pages anyway, or at least hadn't been in a very long time). This gives us flexibility to add the HOT notions of redirected and dead item pointers without requiring anything so klugy as magic values of lp_off and lp_len. The state values are chosen so that for the states currently in use (pre-HOT) there is no change in the physical representation.
2007-09-12Perform post-escaping encoding validity checks on SQL literals and COPY inputAndrew Dunstan
so that invalidly encoded data cannot enter the database by these means.
2007-09-12Whitespace improvement.Bruce Momjian

was removed.
2007-09-11Sync timezone data with 2007g zic release.Tom Lane
2007-09-11Make sure that open hash table scans are cleaned up when bgwriter tries toTom Lane
recover from elog(ERROR). Problem was created by introduction of hash seq search tracking awhile back, and affects all branches that have bgwriter; in HEAD the disease has snuck into autovacuum and walwriter too. (Not sure that the latter two use hash_seq_search at the moment, but surely they might someday.) Per report from Sergey Koposov.
2007-09-11Include hash table name in all the internal-error elog messages inTom Lane
dynahash.c. Sergey Koposov's current open problem shows the possible usefulness of this, and it doesn't add much code.
2007-09-11Remove QueryOperand->istrue flag, it was used only in cover rankingTeodor Sigaev
(ts_rank_cd). Use palloc'ed array in ranking instead of flag.
2007-09-11Fix header's size of structs defines in ispell.Teodor Sigaev
Backpatch is needed for contrib version.
2007-09-11Add regression tests for ispell, synonym and thesaurus dictionaries.Teodor Sigaev
Rename synonym.syn.sample and thesaurs.ths.sample to synonym_sample.syn and thesaurs_sample.ths accordingly to be able to use they in regression test. Ispell dictionary uses synthetic simple dictionary files.
2007-09-11Fix ts_debug function to prevent unneeded calls of ts_lexize().Teodor Sigaev
It will be mush better to reimplement ts_debug in C (instead of SQL as now), but it's planned for the future.
