2013-10-21Extend cube on-disk format to pack points more tightly.Heikki Linnakangas
If the lower left and upper right corners of a cube are the same, set a flag in the cube header, and only store one copy of the coordinates. That cuts the on-disk size into half for the common case that the cube datatype is used to represent points rather than boxes. The new format is backwards-compatible with the old one, so pg_upgrade still works. However, to get the space savings, the data needs to be rewritten. A simple VACUUM FULL or REINDEX is not enough, as the old Datums will just be moved to the new heap/index as is. A pg_dump and reload, or something similar like casting to text and back, will do the trick. This patch deliberately doesn't update all the alternative expected output files, as I don't have access to machines that produce those outputs. I'm not sure if they are still relevant, but if they are, the buildfarm will tell us and produce the diff required to fix it. If none of the buildfarm animals need them, they should be removed altogether. Patch by Stas Kelvich.
2013-10-21doc: Improve setup for documentation building with FOPPeter Eisentraut
Add a makefile rule for building PDFs with FOP. Two new build targets in doc/src/sgml are postgres-A4-fop.pdf and postgres-US-fop.pdf. Run .fo output through xmllint for reformatting, so that errors are easier to find. (The default output has hardly any line breaks, so you might be looking for an error in column 20000.) Set some XSLT parameters to optimize for building with FOP. Remove some redundant or somewhat useless chapterinfo/author information, because it renders strangely with the FO stylesheet.

This avoids an assumption about the signed number representation. It is anticipated to have no functional changes on supported configurations; many two's complement assumptions remain elsewhere. Per a suggestion from Andres Freund.

2013-10-18Allow only some columns of a view to be auto-updateable.Robert Haas
Previously, unless all columns were auto-updateable, we wouldn't inserts, updates, or deletes, or at least not without a rule or trigger; now, we'll allow inserts and updates that target only the auto-updateable columns, and deletes even if there are no auto-updateable columns at all provided the view definition is otherwise suitable.

2013-10-18Provide a reliable mechanism for terminating a background worker.Robert Haas
Although previously-introduced APIs allow the process that registers a background worker to obtain the worker's PID, there's no way to prevent a worker that is not currently running from being restarted. This patch introduces a new API TerminateBackgroundWorker() that prevents the background worker from being restarted, terminates it if it is currently running, and causes it to be unregistered if or when it is not running. Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier and KaiGai Kohei.

2013-10-18Remove IRIX port.Robert Haas
Development of IRIX has been discontinued, and support is scheduled to end in December of 2013. Therefore, there will be no supported versions of this operating system by the time PostgreSQL 9.4 is released. Furthermore, we have no maintainer for this platform.
2013-10-18Switch dependency order of libpgcommon and libpgportPeter Eisentraut
Continuing 63f32f3416a8b4f8e057dc184e8e8eae734ccc8a, libpgcommon should depend on libpgport, but not vice versa. But wait_result_to_str() in wait_error.c depends on pstrdup() in libpgcommon. So move exec.c and wait_error.c from libpgport to libpgcommon. Also switch the link order in the place that's actually used by the failing ecpg builds. The function declarations have been left in port.h for now. That should perhaps be separated sometime.

2013-10-17Remove spinlock support for SINIX, Sun3, and NS32K.Robert Haas
All of these platforms are very much obsolete. As far as I can determine, the last version of SINIX, later renamed Reliant, occurred some time between 2002 and 2005. The last release of SunOS that would run on a sun3 was released in November of 1991; the last release of OpenBSD which supported that platform was in 2001. The highest clock speed of any processor in the family was 25MHz. The NS32K (national semiconductor 320xx) architecture was retired in 1990. Support can be re-added if a maintainer emerges for any of these platforms, but it seems unlikely. Reviewed by Andres Freund.

2013-10-14Translation updates to fix build failuresPeter Eisentraut
Now that msgfmt is run with -c by default, older versions of gettext are complaining about the PO headers Last-Translator and Language-Team still having their default values. Newer gettext versions fail to catch this because of a bug (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40261), which is why this hasn't been noticed before. Copy updated versions of affected translation files from the pgtranslations repository, were those files have been fixed.

2013-10-11Rework SSL renegotiation codeAlvaro Herrera
The existing renegotiation code was home for several bugs: it might erroneously report that renegotiation had failed; it might try to execute another renegotiation while the previous one was pending; it failed to terminate the connection if the renegotiation never actually took place; if a renegotiation was started, the byte count was reset, even if the renegotiation wasn't completed (this isn't good from a security perspective because it means continuing to use a session that should be considered compromised due to volume of data transferred.) The new code is structured to avoid these pitfalls: renegotiation is started a little earlier than the limit has expired; the handshake sequence is retried until it has actually returned successfully, and no more than that, but if it fails too many times, the connection is closed. The byte count is reset only when the renegotiation has succeeded, and if the renegotiation byte count limit expires, the connection is terminated. This commit only touches the master branch, because some of the changes are controversial. If everything goes well, a back-patch might be considered.

2013-10-11doc: Move check-tabs target into html targetPeter Eisentraut
The previous plan of having the check-tabs target a prerequisite of "all" and "distprep" caused make distcheck to fail because make -q distprep would never be satisfied. Put check-tabs into the html target instead, so it is only called when a build actually happens.

2013-10-11Remove maintainer-check target, fold into normal buildPeter Eisentraut
make maintainer-check was obscure and rarely called in practice, and many breakages were missed. Fold everything that make maintainer-check used to do into the normal build. Specifically: - Call duplicate_oids when genbki.pl is called. - Check for tabs in SGML files when the documentation is built. - Run msgfmt with the -c option during the regular build. Add an additional configure check to see whether we are using the GNU version. (make maintainer-check probably used to fail with non-GNU msgfmt.) Keep maintainer-check as around as phony target for the time being in case anyone is calling it. But it won't do anything anymore.

2013-10-09Add record_image_ops opclass for matview concurrent refresh.Kevin Grittner
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview containing a column of a type without a default btree operator class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non- concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type which allowed user-visible differences between values which compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass. Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators to solve these problems. Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the default btree operator class for record, and the newly added operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext column. Reviewed by Steve Singer, who suggested some of the doc language.
