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
2007-09-12Install dictionary sample files.Magnus Hagander
Per buildfarm and Teodor.
2007-09-12Document an efficient way to create documentation for back branches.Bruce Momjian
2007-09-12Add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in the site where the vacuum delay pointAlvaro Herrera
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.
2007-09-11Refactor from Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>:Teodor Sigaev
* Defined new struct WordEntryPosVector that holds a uint16 length and a variable size array of WordEntries. This replaces the previous convention of a variable size uint16 array, with the first element implying the length. WordEntryPosVector has the same layout in memory, but is more readable in source code. The POSDATAPTR and POSDATALEN macros are still used, though it would now be more readable to access the fields in WordEntryPosVector directly. * Removed needfree field from DocRepresentation. It was always set to false. * Miscellaneous other commenting and refactoring
2007-09-11Rename recently-added pg_stat_activity column from txn_start to xact_start,Tom Lane
for consistency with other column names such as in pg_stat_database.
2007-09-11Arrange for SET LOCAL's effects to persist until the end of the current topTom Lane
transaction, unless rolled back or overridden by a SET clause for the same variable attached to a surrounding function call. Per discussion, these seem the best semantics. Note that this is an INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: in 8.0 through 8.2, SET LOCAL's effects disappeared at subtransaction commit (leading to behavior that made little sense at the SQL level). I took advantage of the opportunity to rewrite and simplify the GUC variable save/restore logic a little bit. The old idea of a "tentative" value is gone; it was a hangover from before we had a stack. Also, we no longer need a stack entry for every nesting level, but only for those in which a variable's value actually changed.
2007-09-10Make CLUSTER and REINDEX silently skip remote temp tables in theirAlvaro Herrera
database-wide editions. Per report from bitsandbytes88 <at> hotmail.com and subsequent discussion.
2007-09-10Release the exclusive lock on the table early after truncating it in lazyAlvaro Herrera
vacuum, instead of waiting till commit.
2007-09-10Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>:Teodor Sigaev
Add tsearch subdirectory is added to Makefile to allow compile custom tsearch dictionary as an external module.
2007-09-10Fix recently introduced bugs about parsing ispell/hunspell files.Teodor Sigaev
In most cases it cause because of unneeded lowercasing of flags. Per experiment with regression checks with ispell dictionary.
2007-09-10Remove the vacuum_delay_point call in count_nondeletable_pages, because we holdAlvaro Herrera
an exclusive lock on the table at this point, which we want to release as soon as possible. This is called in the phase of lazy vacuum where we truncate the empty pages at the end of the table. An alternative solution would be to lower the vacuum delay settings before starting the truncating phase, but this doesn't work very well in autovacuum due to the autobalancing code (which can cause other processes to change our cost delay settings). This case could be considered in the balancing code, but it is simpler this way.
2007-09-10Change void* opaque argument to Datum type, add argument'sTeodor Sigaev
name to PushFunction type definition. Per suggestion by Tome Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
2007-09-10Fixes from Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>:Teodor Sigaev
Apparently it's a bug I introduced when I refactored spell.c to use the readline function for reading and recoding the input file. I didn't notice that some calls to STRNCMP used the non-lowercased version of the input line.
2007-09-10Revert temporary patch that made synchronous_commit default to OFF.Tom Lane
2007-09-10Set the correct context (PGC_SIGHUP) for log_autovacuum, per ITAGAKI Takahiro.Tom Lane
Fix grammatical errors in its description.
2007-09-10Code review for GUC revert-values-if-removed-from-postgresql.conf patch;Tom Lane
and in passing, fix some bogosities dating from the custom_variable_classes patch. Fix guc-file.l to correctly check changes in custom_variable_classes that are attempted concurrently with additions/removals of custom variables, and don't allow the new setting to be applied in advance of checking it. Clean up messy and undocumented situation for string variables with NULL boot_val. Fix DefineCustomVariable functions to initialize boot_val correctly. Prevent find_option from inserting bogus placeholders for custom variables that are simply inquired about rather than being set.
2007-09-09fix typo in regression Makefile.Andrew Dunstan
2007-09-09Provide for a file specifying non-standard config options for temp installAndrew Dunstan
for pg_regress, via --temp-config option. Pick this up in the make file via TEMP_CONFIG setting.
2007-09-08Replace the former method of determining snapshot xmax --- to wit, callingTom Lane
ReadNewTransactionId from GetSnapshotData --- with a "latestCompletedXid" variable that is updated during transaction commit or abort. Since latestCompletedXid is written only in places that had to lock ProcArrayLock exclusively anyway, and is read only in places that had to lock ProcArrayLock shared anyway, it adds no new locking requirements to the system despite being cluster-wide. Moreover, removing ReadNewTransactionId from snapshot acquisition eliminates the need to take both XidGenLock and ProcArrayLock at the same time. Since XidGenLock is sometimes held across I/O this can be a significant win. Some preliminary benchmarking suggested that this patch has no effect on average throughput but can significantly improve the worst-case transaction times seen in pgbench. Concept by Florian Pflug, implementation by Tom Lane.
2007-09-07Don't take ProcArrayLock while exiting a transaction that has no XID; there isTom Lane
no need for serialization against snapshot-taking because the xact doesn't affect anyone else's snapshot anyway. Per discussion. Also, move various info about the interlocking of transactions and snapshots out of code comments and into a hopefully-more-cohesive discussion in access/transam/README. Also, remove a couple of now-obsolete comments about having to force some WAL to be written to persuade RecordTransactionCommit to do its thing.
2007-09-07Improve page split in rtree emulation. Now if splitted result hasTeodor Sigaev
big misalignement, then it tries to split page basing on distribution of boxe's centers. Per report from Dolafi, Tom <dolafit@janelia.hhmi.org> Backpatch is needed, change doesn't affect on-disk storage.
2007-09-07Improvements from Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>Teodor Sigaev
- change the alignment requirement of lexemes in TSVector slightly. Lexeme strings were always padded to 2-byte aligned length to make sure that if there's position array (uint16[]) it has the right alignment. The patch changes that so that the padding is not done when there's no positions. That makes the storage of tsvectors without positions slightly more compact. - added some #include "miscadmin.h" lines I missed in the earlier when I added calls to check_stack_depth(). - Reimplement the send/recv functions, and added a comment above them describing the on-wire format. The CRC is now recalculated in tsquery as well per previous discussion.
2007-09-07Improving various checks by Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>Teodor Sigaev
- add code to check that the query tree is well-formed. It was indeed possible to send malformed queries in binary mode, which produced all kinds of strange results. - make the left-field a uint32. There's no reason to arbitrarily limit it to 16-bits, and it won't increase the disk/memory footprint either now that QueryOperator and QueryOperand are separate structs. - add check_stack_depth() call to all recursive functions I found. Some of them might have a natural limit so that you can't force arbitrarily deep recursions, but check_stack_depth() is cheap enough that seems best to just stick it into anything that might be a problem.
2007-09-07Refactoring by Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com> withTeodor Sigaev
small editorization by me - Brake the QueryItem struct into QueryOperator and QueryOperand. Type was really the only common field between them. QueryItem still exists, and is used in the TSQuery struct as before, but it's now a union of the two. Many other changes fell from that, like separation of pushval_asis function into pushValue, pushOperator and pushStop. - Moved some structs that were for internal use only from header files to the right .c-files. - Moved tsvector parser to a new tsvector_parser.c file. Parser code was about half of the size of tsvector.c, it's also used from tsquery.c, and it has some data structures of its own, so it seems better to separate it. Cleaned up the API so that TSVectorParserState is not accessed from outside tsvector_parser.c. - Separated enumerations (#defines, really) used for QueryItem.type field and as return codes from gettoken_query. It was just accidental code sharing. - Removed ParseQueryNode struct used internally by makepol and friends. push*-functions now construct QueryItems directly. - Changed int4 variables to just ints for variables like "i" or "array size", where the storage-size was not significant.
2007-09-07Add turkish stopword list. Thanks to Devrim GUNDUZ <devrim@CommandPrompt.com>Teodor Sigaev
2007-09-07Allow CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to disregard transactions in otherTom Lane
databases, per gripe from hubert depesz lubaczewski. Patch from Simon Riggs.
2007-09-06Make eval_const_expressions() preserve typmod when simplifying something likeTom Lane
null::char(3) to a simple Const node. (It already worked for non-null values, but not when we skipped evaluation of a strict coercion function.) This prevents loss of typmod knowledge in situations such as exhibited in bug #3598. Unfortunately there seems no good way to fix that bug in 8.1 and 8.2, because they simply don't carry a typmod for a plain Const node. In passing I made all the other callers of makeNullConst supply "real" typmod values too, though I think it probably doesn't matter anywhere else.
2007-09-05Volatile-qualify the ProcArray PGPROC pointer in a bunch of routinesTom Lane
that examine fields that could change under them. This is just to make really sure that when we are fetching a value 'only once', that's what actually happens. Possibly this is a bug that should be back-patched, but in the absence of solid evidence that it's needed, I won't bother.
2007-09-05Quick hack to make the VXID of a prepared transaction be -1/XID,Tom Lane
so that different prepared xacts can be told apart in the pg_locks view. Per suggestion from Florian.
2007-09-05Implement lazy XID allocation: transactions that do not modify any databaseTom Lane
rows will normally never obtain an XID at all. We already did things this way for subtransactions, but this patch extends the concept to top-level transactions. In applications where there are lots of short read-only transactions, this should improve performance noticeably; not so much from removal of the actual XID-assignments, as from reduction of overhead that's driven by the rate of XID consumption. We add a concept of a "virtual transaction ID" so that active transactions can be uniquely identified even if they don't have a regular XID. This is a much lighter-weight concept: uniqueness of VXIDs is only guaranteed over the short term, and no on-disk record is made about them. Florian Pflug, with some editorialization by Tom.
2007-09-04Provide for binary input/output of enums, to fix complaint from Merlin Moncure.Andrew Dunstan
This just provides text values, we're not exposing the underlying Oid representation. Catalog version bumped.
2007-09-04Synced parser and keyword list.Michael Meskes
2007-09-04Restrict tsearch config file base names to contain a-z, 0-9, and underscore,Tom Lane
instead of the initial policy of whatever isalpha() likes. Per discussion.
2007-09-03Support SET FROM CURRENT in CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, ALTER DATABASE, ALTER ROLE.Tom Lane
(Actually, it works as a plain statement too, but I didn't document that because it seems a bit useless.) Unify VariableResetStmt with VariableSetStmt, and clean up some ancient cruft in the representation of same.
2007-09-03Fix MSVC build (I think) for recent pg_proc.h column addition.Tom Lane
This business with two independent build systems does kinda suck.
2007-09-03Improve stylistic consistency of descriptions of built-in objects by avoidingTom Lane
initcap style --- the vast majority of the existing descriptions do not use an initial cap. I didn't change places where the first word was all-cap. initdb not forced because this doesn't change any regression test results.
2007-09-03Add an ORDER BY to nail down the expected row order from a query that'sTom Lane
been shown to be sensitive to concurrent autovacuum. Per Alvaro.
2007-09-03Fix breakage of GIN support for varchar[] and cidr[] that I introduced in theTom Lane
operator-family rewrite. I had mistakenly supposed that these could use the pg_amproc entries for text[] and inet[] respectively. However, binary compatibility of the underlying types does not make two array types binary compatible (since they must differ in the header field that gives the element type OID), and so the index support code doesn't consider those entries applicable. Add back the missing pg_amproc entries, and add an opr_sanity query to try to catch such mistakes in future. Per report from Gregory Maxwell.
2007-09-03Implement function-local GUC parameter settings, as per recent discussion.Tom Lane
There are still some loose ends: I didn't do anything about the SET FROM CURRENT idea yet, and it's not real clear whether we are happy with the interaction of SET LOCAL with function-local settings. The documentation is a bit spartan, too.
