2007-02-01Update some of the "expected" regression test results for Bruce'sNeil Conway
recent may/might cleanup, in the hopes that this will unbreak the buildfarm. Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.
2007-02-01Fix plpgsql so that when a local variable has no initial-value expression,Tom Lane
an error will be thrown correctly if the variable is of a NOT NULL domain. Report and almost-correct fix from Sergiy Vyshnevetskiy (bug #2948).
2007-02-01Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.Bruce Momjian
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways: may - permission, "You may borrow my rake." can - ability, "I can lift that log." might - possibility, "It might rain today." Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
2007-02-01Fix a few typos in comments in GiN.Neil Conway
2007-01-31Update comment.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-31Revert error message change for may/can/might --- needs discussion.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-31Update documentation on may/can/might:Bruce Momjian
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways: may - permission, "You may borrow my rake." can - ability, "I can lift that log." might - possibility, "It might rain today." Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash". Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.
2007-01-31Add missing Makefile dependencies for the "bigtest" and "bigcheck"Neil Conway
targets, and refactor the tablespace setup code into a separate Makefile target.
2007-01-31Rewrite uuid input and output routines to avoid dependency on theNeil Conway
nonportable "hh" sprintf(3) length modifier. Instead, do the parsing and output by hand. The code to do this isn't ideal, but this is an interim measure anyway: the uuid type should probably use the in-memory struct layout specified by RFC 4122. For now, this patch should hopefully rectify the buildfarm failures for the uuid test. Along the way, re-add pg_cast entries for uuid <-> varchar, which I mistakenly removed earlier, and bump the catversion.
2007-01-31Fix initdb to not generate misleading error messages when postgres.bkiTom Lane
or other share-directory files are inaccessible for some reason other than not existing. Inspired by trouble report from Simon Kinsella.
2007-01-31Revert gincostestimate changes.Teodor Sigaev
2007-01-31Allow GIN's extractQuery method to signal that nothing can satisfy the query.Teodor Sigaev
In this case extractQuery should returns -1 as nentries. This changes prototype of extractQuery method to use int32* instead of uint32* for nentries argument. Based on that gincostestimate may see two corner cases: nothing will be found or seqscan should be used. Per proposal at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-01/msg01581.php PS tsearch_core patch should be sightly modified to support changes, but I'm waiting a verdict about reviewing of tsearch_core patch.
2007-01-30Repair oversights in the mechanism used to store compiled plpgsql functions.Tom Lane
The original coding failed (tried to access deallocated memory) if there were two active call sites (fn_extra pointers) for the same function and the function definition was updated. Also, if an update of a recursive function was detected upon nested entry to the function, the existing compiled version was summarily deallocated, resulting in crash upon return to the outer instance. Problem observed while studying a bug report from Sergiy Vyshnevetskiy. Bug does not exist before 8.1 since older versions just leaked the memory of obsoleted compiled functions, rather than trying to reclaim it.
2007-01-30Add SPI_push/SPI_pop calls so that datatype input and output functions calledTom Lane
by plpgsql can themselves use SPI --- possibly indirectly, as in the case of domain_in() invoking plpgsql functions in a domain check constraint. Per bug #2945 from Sergiy Vyshnevetskiy. Somewhat arbitrarily, I've chosen to back-patch this as far as 8.0. Given the lack of prior complaints, it doesn't seem critical for 7.x.
2007-01-30Update documentation for pg_get_serial_sequence() function.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-30Add support for cross-type hashing in hash index searches and hash joins.Tom Lane
Hashing for aggregation purposes still needs work, so it's not time to mark any cross-type operators as hashable for general use, but these cases work if the operators are so marked by hand in the system catalogs.
2007-01-29Add comment noting that hashm_procid in a hash index's metapage isn'tTom Lane
actually used for anything.
2007-01-29Use sizeof() for snprintf() buffer length.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-29Update process termination message to display signal number and nameBruce Momjian
from exec.c and postmaster.c.
2007-01-28Improve hash join to discard input tuples immediately if they can'tTom Lane
match because they contain a null join key (and the join operator is known strict). Improves performance significantly when the inner relation contains a lot of nulls, as per bug #2930.
2007-01-28Remove unnecessary checkpoint from PL regression tests. This was onceTom Lane
handy to prevent core dump files from disappearing, but it's useless now because (a) we don't drop core in individual DB subdirectories anymore, and (b) CREATE DATABASE forces an internal checkpoint anyway.
2007-01-28Rename the uuid_t type to pg_uuid_t, to avoid a conflict with anyNeil Conway
definitions of uuid_t that may be provided by the system headers. This should hopefully fix the Win32 build problems reported by Magnus.
2007-01-28Fix plpython MSVC build in non-debug mode.Andrew Dunstan
2007-01-28Remove some unnecessary conversion work in build_regtype_array().Tom Lane
2007-01-28Repair oversight in creation of "append relations": we should set upTom Lane
rel->tuples as well as rel->rows, since some estimation functions expect both to be valid in every baserel. Per report from Dave Dutcher.
2007-01-28Make some small improvements in the accuracy of plpgsql's error locationTom Lane
reports; inspired by the misleading CONTEXT lines shown in recent bug report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner. Also, allow statement-type names shown in these messages to be translated.
2007-01-28Fix path problem in MSVC bison wrapper. per Joachim Wieland.Andrew Dunstan
2007-01-28Add a new builtin type, "uuid". This implements a UUID type, similar toNeil Conway
that defined in RFC 4122. This patch includes the basic implementation, plus regression tests. Documentation and perhaps some additional functionality will come later. Catversion bumped. Patch from Gevik Babakhani; review from Peter, Tom, and myself.
2007-01-28Fix up plpgsql's "simple expression" evaluation mechanism so that it behavesTom Lane
safely in the presence of subtransactions. To ensure that any ExprContext shutdown callbacks are called at the right times, we have to have a separate EState for each level of subtransaction. Per "TupleDesc reference leak" bug report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner. Although I'm convinced the code is wrong as far back as 8.0, it doesn't seem that there are any ways for the problem to really manifest before 8.2: AFAICS, 8.0 and 8.1 only use the ExprContextCallback mechanism to handle set-returning functions, which cannot usefully be executed in a "simple expression" anyway. Hence, no backpatch before 8.2 --- the risk of unforeseen breakage seems to outweigh the chance of fixing something.
2007-01-28Drat, can't fit an additional argument into log_error. Is it worth anTom Lane
sprintf pushup to be sure we can report something useful for out-of-range exitstatus?
2007-01-28Clean up broken usage of HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST and inconsistent/poorlyTom Lane
formatted error messages.
2007-01-28Use autoconf build-in sys_siglist macro AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST, rather thanBruce Momjian
create our own.
2007-01-28Add a delay at the start of the stats test, to let any prior statsTom Lane
activity quiesce. Possibly this will fix the large increase in non-reproducible stats test failures we've noted since turning on stats_row_level by default.
2007-01-28Dept of second thoughts: the IQ of estimate_array_length() needs to beTom Lane
kept on par with that of scalararraysel(), else estimates that should track might not. Hence teach it about binary-compatible cases, too.
2007-01-28Add signal.h for sys_siglist reference.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-28Fix scalararraysel() to cope with binary-compatible cases, such as text[]Tom Lane
versus varchar[]. This oversight probably explains Ryan Holmes' recent complaint --- he was getting a generic selectivity estimate instead of anything intelligent.
2007-01-28Use sys_siglist[] to print out signal names for signal exits, ratherBruce Momjian
than just numbers.
2007-01-27Correct an old logic error in btree page splitting: when considering a splitTom Lane
exactly at the point where we need to insert a new item, the calculation used the wrong size for the "high key" of the new left page. This could lead to choosing an unworkable split, resulting in "PANIC: failed to add item to the left sibling" (or "right sibling") failure. Although this bug has been there a long time, it's very difficult to trigger a failure before 8.2, since there was generally a lot of free space on both sides of a chosen split. In 8.2, where the user-selected fill factor determines how much free space the code tries to leave, an unworkable split is much more likely. Report by Joe Conway, diagnosis and fix by Heikki Linnakangas.
2007-01-27Fixed expected files, so they are in sync with tests again.Michael Meskes
2007-01-27remove unnecessary and now inaccurate cast which I should have removed with ↵Andrew Dunstan
other old code.
2007-01-27Reactivate libxml memory management via palloc, now that I think I'vePeter Eisentraut
classified the conditions under which this is safe to do (see source code comment).

2007-01-27Allow args to spi_prepare to be standard type aliaes as well as those known ↵Andrew Dunstan
in pg_type. Fixes bug #2917. Add some regression tests for these cases.
2007-01-26On Windows, use pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() instead of select() to wait forTom Lane
input in the stats collector. Our select() emulation is apparently buggy for UDP sockets :-(. This should resolve problems with stats collection (and hence autovacuum) failing under more than minimal load. Diagnosis and patch by Magnus Hagander. Patch probably needs to be back-ported to 8.1 and 8.0, but first let's see if it makes the buildfarm happy...
2007-01-26Squelch some VC++ compiler warnings. Mark float literals with the "f"Neil Conway
suffix, to distinguish them from doubles. Make some function declarations and definitions use the "const" qualifier for arguments consistently. Ignore warning 4102 ("unreferenced label"), because such warnings are always emitted by bison-generated code. Patch from Magnus Hagander.
2007-01-25Update Win32 exception comment.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-25Add a setlocal command to the beginning of build.bat. This is requiredNeil Conway
to deal with buildenv.bat properly, so that PATH (for example) doesn't expand infintly. Per report from Joachim Wieland, patch from Magnus.
2007-01-25Removed compiler warning due to unneeded unsigned declaration.Michael Meskes
Removed regression test that triggers those libc precision bugs on some archs.
