2010-09-28Improve messages for too many private files/dirs. Per Alexey Parshin.Tom Lane
2010-09-28Fix another small oversight in command_no_begin patch.Tom Lane
Need a "return false" to prevent tests from continuing after we've moved the "query" pointer. As it stood, it'd accept "DROP DISCARD ALL" as a match.
2010-09-28Fix PlaceHolderVar mechanism's interaction with outer joins.Tom Lane
The point of a PlaceHolderVar is to allow a non-strict expression to be evaluated below an outer join, after which its value bubbles up like a Var and can be forced to NULL when the outer join's semantics require that. However, there was a serious design oversight in that, namely that we didn't ensure that there was actually a correct place in the plan tree to evaluate the placeholder :-(. It may be necessary to delay evaluation of an outer join to ensure that a placeholder that should be evaluated below the join can be evaluated there. Per recent bug report from Kirill Simonov. Back-patch to 8.4 where the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was introduced.

2010-09-28Add DISCARD to the command_no_begin list for AUTOCOMMIT=off.Itagaki Takahiro
Backpatch to 8.3. Reported by Sergey Burladyan.
2010-09-27Add a SECURITY LABEL command.Robert Haas
This is intended as infrastructure to support integration with label-based mandatory access control systems such as SE-Linux. Further changes (mostly hooks) will be needed, but this is a big chunk of it. KaiGai Kohei and Robert Haas

2010-09-26Improve git_changelog as per discussion with Robert Haas.Tom Lane
1. Resurrect the behavior where old commits on master will have Branch: labels for branches sprouted after the commit was made. I'm still dubious about this mode, but if you want it, say --post-date or -p. 2. Annotate the Branch: labels with the release or branch in which the commit was publicly released. For example, on a release branch you could see Branch: REL8_3_STABLE Release: REL8_3_2 [92c3a8004] 2008-03-29 00:15:37 +0000 showing that the fix was released in 8.3.2. Commits on master will usually instead have notes like Branch: master Release: REL8_4_BR [6fc9d4272] 2008-03-29 00:15:28 +0000 showing that this commit is ancestral to release branches 8.4 and later. If no Release: marker appears, the commit hasn't yet made it into any release. 3. Add support for release branches older than 7.4. 4. The implementation is improved by running git log on each branch only back to where the branch sprouts from master. This saves a good deal of time (about 50% of the runtime when generating the complete history). We generate the post-date-mode tags via a direct understanding that they should be applied to master commits made before the branch sprouted, rather than backing into them via matching (which isn't any too reliable when people used identical log messages for successive commits).
2010-09-26Add ALTER TYPE ... ADD/DROP/ALTER/RENAME ATTRIBUTEPeter Eisentraut
Like with tables, this also requires allowing the existence of composite types with zero attributes. reviewed by KaiGai Kohei
2010-09-26Still more tweaking of git_changelog.Tom Lane
1. Don't assume there's only one candidate match; check them all and use the one with the closest timestamp. Avoids funny output when someone makes several successive commits with the same log message, as certain people have been known to do. 2. When the same commit (with the same SHA1) is reachable from multiple branch tips, don't report it for all the branches; instead report it only for the first such branch. Given our development practices, this case arises only for commits that occurred before a given branch split off from master. The original coding blamed old commits on *all* the branches, which isn't terribly useful; the new coding blames such a commit only on master.
2010-09-26Fix some more bugs in git_changelog.Tom Lane
1. Don't forget the last (oldest) commit on the oldest branch. 2. When considering which commit to print next, if two alternatives have the same "distortion" score (which is actually the normal case, since generally the "distortion" is 0), then choose the later timestamp to print first. I don't know where Robert got the idea to ignore timestamps and sort by branch age, but it wasn't a good idea: the resulting ordering of commits was just plain bizarre anywhere that some branches had many fewer commits than others, which is the typical situation for us.
2010-09-25Minor improvements to git_changelog.Tom Lane
Avoid depending on Date::Calc, which isn't in a basic Perl installation, when we can equally well use Time::Local which is. Also fix the parsing of timestamps to take heed of the timezone. (It looks like cvs2git emitted all commit timestamps with zone GMT, so this refinement might've looked unnecessary when looking at converted data; but it's needed now.) Fix parsing of message bodies so that blank lines that may or may not get emitted by "git log" aren't confused with real data. This avoids strange formatting of the oldest commit on a branch. Check child-process exit status, so that we actually notice if "git log" fails, and so that we don't accumulate zombie children.
2010-09-25Rename git_topo_order -> git_changelog, per discussion.Tom Lane
2010-09-25Fix another join removal bug: the check on PlaceHolderVars was wrong.Tom Lane
The previous coding would decide that join removal was unsafe upon finding a PlaceHolderVar that needed to be evaluated at the inner rel and then used above the join. However, this fails to cover the case of PlaceHolderVars that refer to both the inner rel and some other rels. Per bug report from Andrus.
2010-09-24Still more .gitignore cleanup.Tom Lane
Fix overly-enthusiastic ignores, as identified by git ls-files -i --exclude-standard
2010-09-23ProcessIncomingNotify *must* reset notifyInterruptOccurred when called.Tom Lane
This was broken in 9.0 by careless addition of an early-exit path. Bug report and diagnosis by Jeff Davis.
2010-09-23Prevent show_session_authorization from crashing when session_authorizationTom Lane
hasn't been set. The only known case where this can happen is when show_session_authorization is invoked in an autovacuum process, which is possible if an index function calls it, as for example in bug #5669 from Andrew Geery. We could perhaps try to return a sensible value, such as the name of the cluster-owning superuser; but that seems like much more trouble than the case is worth, and in any case it could create new possible failure modes. Simply returning an empty string seems like the most appropriate fix. Back-patch to all supported versions, even those before autovacuum, just in case there's another way to provoke this crash.
2010-09-23Avoid sharing subpath list structure when flattening nested AppendRels.Tom Lane
In some situations the original coding led to corrupting the child AppendRel's subpaths list, effectively adding other members of the parent's list to it. This was usually masked because we never made any further use of the child's list, but given the right combination of circumstances, we could do so. The visible symptom would be a relation getting scanned twice, as in bug #5673 from David Schmitt. Backpatch to 8.2, which is as far back as the risky coding appears. The example submitted by David only fails in 8.4 and later, but I'm not convinced that there aren't any even-more-obscure cases where 8.2 and 8.3 would fail.
2010-09-23Make _outPathInfo print the relid set of the path's parent rel.Tom Lane
We can't actually print the parent RelOptInfo in toto, because that would lead to infinite recursion. But it's safe enough to reach into the parent and print its identifying relids, and that makes it a whole lot easier to figure out what a Path represents. Should have done this years ago.
2010-09-23Initialize tableoid field correctly when dumping foreign data wrappers andHeikki Linnakangas
servers. AFAICT it's harmless at the moment because nothing can depend on either, but as soon as we introduce an object type with such dependencies, tableoid needs to be set or pg_dump will fail to interpret the dependencies correctly. In theory, I guess the uninitialized garbage in tableoid could cause the object to be mistaken for some other object with same OID as well.
2010-09-22Re-allow input of Julian dates prior to 0001-01-01 AD.Tom Lane
This was unintentionally broken in 8.4 while tightening up checking of ordinary non-Julian date inputs to forbid references to "year zero". Per bug #5672 from Benjamin Gigot.
2010-09-22More fixes for libpq's .gitignore file.Tom Lane
The previous patches failed to cover a lot of symlinks that are only added in platform-specific cases. Make the lists match what's in the Makefile for each branch.

2010-09-22Fix remaining stray references to CVS.Tom Lane
These are just cosmetic and don't seem worth back-patching far. I put them into 9.0 just because it was trivial to do so.
2010-09-22Some more gitignore cleanups: cover contrib and PL regression test outputs.Tom Lane
Also do some further work in the back branches, where quite a bit wasn't covered by Magnus' original back-patch.
2010-09-22Add gitignore files for ecpg regression tests.Magnus Hagander
Backpatch to 8.2 as that's how far the structure looks the same.
2010-09-22Convert cvsignore to gitignore, and add .gitignore for build targets.Magnus Hagander
2010-09-22Typo fix. "CVS" is not the same thing as "CSV".Robert Haas
2010-09-21pgcvslog isn't useful anymore, either.Tom Lane
See git_topo_order instead.
2010-09-21add_cvs_markers isn't useful anymore.Tom Lane
2010-09-21Some more cleanup of CVS keyword noise.Tom Lane
Poking around for remaining occurrences of CVS keyword strings, I came across one that apparently reflects the use of a $Revision: ...$ string in the original input data. Dunno why anybody would be using that in an MTA's Received: lines, but there it is. Put it back to the way that it was originally, according to inspection of the CVS repo.
2010-09-21The port/pg_latch.c symlink ought to be removed by make distclean.Tom Lane
Not sure why these symlinks are removed here and not in the port/ Makefile, but I won't second-guess that choice right now.
2010-09-21Remove various mentions of CVS from src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES.Robert Haas
2010-09-21git_topo_order script, to match up commits across branches.Robert Haas
This script is intended to substitute for cvs2cl in generating release notes and scrutinizing what got back-patched to which branches. Script by me. Support for --since by Alex Hunsaker.
2010-09-20Remove cvs keywords from all files.Magnus Hagander

2010-09-19Replace last remaining $Id$ with $PostgreSQL$.Tom Lane
2010-09-19Fix several broken $PostgreSQL$ keywords. Noted while experimentingTom Lane
with Magnus's script to remove these.
2010-09-18Make sure we wait for protocol-level EOF when ending binary COPY IN.Tom Lane
The previous coding just terminated the COPY immediately after seeing the EOF marker (-1 where a row field count is expected). The expected CopyDone or CopyFail message just got thrown away later, since we weren't in COPY mode anymore. This behavior complicated matters for the JDBC driver, and arguably was the wrong thing in any case since a CopyFail message after the marker wouldn't be honored. Note that there is a behavioral change here: extra data after the EOF marker was silently ignored before, but now it will cause an error. Hence not back-patching, although this is arguably a bug. Per report and patch by Kris Jurka.
2010-09-18Give a suitable HINT when an INSERT's data source is a RowExpr containingTom Lane
the same number of columns expected by the insert. This suggests that there were extra parentheses that converted the intended column list into a row expression. Original patch by Marko Tiikkaja, rather heavily editorialized by me.
2010-09-17Remove duplicated code left behind by my recent refactoring of comment.cRobert Haas
These checks are also present in objectaddress.c, so there's no need to recheck here.
2010-09-17Add some documentation about how we WAL-log filesystem actions.Tom Lane
Per a question from Robert Haas.
2010-09-16Treat exit code 128 (ERROR_WAIT_NO_CHILDREN) as non-fatal on Win32,Magnus Hagander
since it can happen when a process fails to start when the system is under high load. Per several bug reports and many peoples investigation. Back-patch to 8.4, which is as far back as the "deadman-switch" for shared memory access exists.
2010-09-15Fix two typos in comments, spotted by Fujii Masao and Thom BrownHeikki Linnakangas
2010-09-15Use a latch to make startup process wake up and replay immediately whenHeikki Linnakangas
new WAL arrives via streaming replication. This reduces the latency, and also allows us to use a longer polling interval, which is good for energy efficiency. We still need to poll to check for the appearance of a trigger file, but the interval is now 5 seconds (instead of 100ms), like when waiting for a new WAL segment to appear in WAL archive.
2010-09-15Simplify Windows implementation of latches. There's no need to keep aHeikki Linnakangas
dynamic pool of event handles, we can permanently assign one for each shared latch. Thanks to that, we no longer need a separate shared memory block for latches, and we don't need to know in advance how many shared latches there is, so you no longer need to remember to update NumSharedLatches when you introduce a new latch to the system.
2010-09-15Don't call OwnLatch while holding a spinlock. OwnLatch can elog() underHeikki Linnakangas
some "can't happen" scenarios, and spinlocks should only be held for a few instructions anyway. As pointed out by Fujii Masao.
2010-09-14Fix join-removal logic for pseudoconstant and outerjoin-delayed quals.Tom Lane
In these cases a qual can get marked with the removable rel in its required_relids, but this is just to schedule its evaluation correctly, not because it really depends on the rel. We were assuming that, in effect, we could throw away *all* quals so marked, which is nonsense. Tighten up the logic to be a little more paranoid about which quals belong to the outer join being considered for removal, and arrange for all quals that don't belong to be updated so they will still get evaluated correctly. Also fix another problem that happened to be exposed by this test case, which was that make_join_rel() was failing to notice some cases where a constant-false qual could be used to prove a join relation empty. If it's a pushed-down constant false, then the relation is empty even if it's an outer join, because the qual applies after the outer join expansion. Per report from Nathan Grange. Back-patch into 9.0.
