2006-06-22pg_stop_backup was calling XLogArchiveNotify() twice for the newly createdTom Lane
backup history file. Bug introduced by the 8.1 change to make pg_stop_backup delete older history files. Per report from Masao Fujii.
2006-06-22Standalone backends need pgstat_bestart() too, per Qingqing Zhou.Tom Lane
2006-06-21Move setup_cancel_handler() up near start of psql main(), where theTom Lane
setup_win32_locks() call formerly was, to ensure that cancelConnLock is valid when it needs to be. Per Yoshiyuki Asaba.
2006-06-21Remove ancient kluge that kept nodeAgg.c from crashing on UPDATEs involvingTom Lane
aggregates. We just disallowed that, and AFAICS there should be no other cases where direct (non-aggregated) references to input columns are allowed in a query with aggregation and no GROUP BY.
2006-06-21Disallow aggregate functions in UPDATE commands (unless within a sub-SELECT).Tom Lane
This is disallowed by the SQL spec because it doesn't have any very sensible interpretation. Historically Postgres has allowed it but behaved strangely. As of PG 8.1 a server crash is possible if the MIN/MAX index optimization gets applied; rather than try to "fix" that, it seems best to just enforce the spec restriction. Per report from Josh Drake and Alvaro Herrera.
2006-06-21Eliminate a gratuitously different wording of the 'cannot use aggregate ↵Tom Lane
function in check constraint' error message.
2006-06-21Clean up psql variable code a little: eliminate unnecessary tests inTom Lane
GetVariable() and be consistent about treatment of the list header. Motivated by noticing strspn() taking an unreasonable percentage of runtime --- the call removed from GetVariable() was the only one that could be in a high-usage path ...

<joe@mcknight.de> Added missing error handling in a few functions in ecpglib
2006-06-20Remove redundant gettimeofday() calls to the extent practical withoutTom Lane
changing semantics too much. statement_timestamp is now set immediately upon receipt of a client command message, and the various places that used to do their own gettimeofday() calls to mark command startup are referenced to that instead. I have also made stats_command_string use that same value for pg_stat_activity.query_start for both the command itself and its eventual replacement by <IDLE> or <idle in transaction>. There was some debate about that, but no argument that seemed convincing enough to justify an extra gettimeofday() call.
2006-06-20Split definitions for md5.c out of crypt.h and into their own headerTom Lane
libpq/md5.h, so that there's a clear separation between backend-only definitions and shared frontend/backend definitions. (Turns out this is reversing a bad decision from some years ago...) Fix up references to crypt.h as needed. I looked into moving the code into src/port, but the headers in src/include/libpq are sufficiently intertwined that it seems more work than it's worth to do that.
2006-06-19Do not use already free'ed errmsg, bug found by Joachim WielandMichael Meskes
<joachim.wieland@credativ.de>
2006-06-19Take the statistics collector out of the loop for monitoring backends'Tom Lane
current commands; instead, store current-status information in shared memory. This substantially reduces the overhead of stats_command_string and also ensures that pg_stat_activity is fully up to date at all times. Per my recent proposal.
2006-06-18Don't try to call posix_fadvise() unless <fcntl.h> supplies a declarationTom Lane
for it. Hopefully will fix core dump evidenced by some buildfarm members since fadvise patch went in. The actual definition of the function is not ABI-compatible with compiler's default assumption in the absence of any declaration, so it's clearly unsafe to try to call it without seeing a declaration.
2006-06-18Fix saveHistory() to not emit bogus complaint during psql exit when usingTom Lane
Darwin's libedit; per my proposal last August. Also, suppress cast-away- const warnings.
2006-06-18Increase timeout in statement_timeout test from 1 second to 2 seconds.Tom Lane
We have once or twice seen failures suggesting that control didn't get to the exception block before the timeout elapsed, which is unlikely but not impossible in a parallel regression test (with a dozen other backends competing for cycles). This change doesn't completely prevent the problem of course, but it should reduce the probability enough that we don't see it anymore. Per buildfarm results.
2006-06-18Merge postmaster and postgres command into just postgres. postmasterPeter Eisentraut
symlink is kept for now for compatibility. To call single-user mode, use postgres --single.

language, tablespace, trigger, rule, opclass, function, aggregate. operator, and cast.
2006-06-16Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in useTom Lane
by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context. Neil Conway and Tom Lane

2006-06-15Add STRICT to PL/pgSQL SELECT INTO, so exceptions are thrown if more orBruce Momjian
less than one row is returned by the SELECT, for Oracle PL/SQL compatibility. Improve SELECT INTO documentation. Matt Miller
2006-06-15Remove the limit on the number of entries allowed in catcaches, andTom Lane
remove the infrastructure needed to enforce the limit, ie, the global LRU list of cache entries. On small-to-middling databases this wins because maintaining the LRU list is a waste of time. On large databases this wins because it's better to keep more cache entries (we assume such users can afford to use some more per-backend memory than was contemplated in the Berkeley-era catcache design). This provides a noticeable improvement in the speed of psql \d on a 10000-table database, though it doesn't make it instantaneous. While at it, use per-catcache settings for the number of hash buckets per catcache, rather than the former one-size-fits-all value. It's a bit silly to be using the same number of hash buckets for, eg, pg_am and pg_attribute. The specific values I used might need some tuning, but they seem to be in the right ballpark based on CATCACHE_STATS results from the standard regression tests.
2006-06-14Further thoughts about lo_export/lo_import error handling: if one ofTom Lane
the lower-level large object functions fails, it will have already set a suitable error message --- probably something from the backend --- and it is not useful to overwrite that with a generic 'error while reading large object' message. So remove redundant messages.
2006-06-14Clean up psql's control-C handling to avoid longjmp'ing out of randomTom Lane
places --- that risks corrupting data structures, losing sync with the backend, etc. We now longjmp only from calls to readline, fgets, and fread, which we assume are coded to protect themselves against interrupts at undesirable times. This requires adding explicit tests for cancel_pressed in long-running loops, but on the whole it's far cleaner. Martijn van Oosterhout and Tom Lane.
2006-06-14Improve error detection and recovery in lo_import()/lo_export().Tom Lane
Problems noted while experimenting with new control-C code for psql.
2006-06-14Do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS immediately before terminating a fastpathTom Lane
function call. Previously, there may have been no CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS at all in the fastpath code path, making it impossible to cancel an operation such as \lo_import externally. This addition doesn't ensure you can cancel, since your SIGINT may arrive while the backend is idle waiting for the client, but it gives the largest window we can easily provide. Noted while experimenting with new control-C code for psql.

2006-06-12Avoid use of C commment inside C comment from recent Win32 int overflow patch.Bruce Momjian
2006-06-12Prevent Win32 from displaying a popup box on backend crash. Instead letBruce Momjian
the postmaster deal with it. Magnus Hagander
2006-06-12Win32 can't catch the exception thrown by INT_MIN / -1 or INT_MIN * -1,Bruce Momjian
so on that platform we test for those before the computation and throw an "out of range" error. Backpatch to 8.1.X.
2006-06-12Minor code cleanup: make the WIN32 case less gratuitously different fromTom Lane
the other platform-specific cases in ps_status.
2006-06-11Code review for psql multiline history patch(es). Fix memory leak,Tom Lane
failure to enter commands in history if canceled by control-C, other infelicities.
2006-06-11Fix Assert failure when a fastpath function call is attempted inside anTom Lane
already-aborted transaction block. GetSnapshotData throws an Assert if not in a valid transaction; hence we mustn't attempt to set a snapshot for the function until after checking for aborted transaction. This is harmless AFAICT if Asserts aren't enabled (GetSnapshotData will compute a bogus snapshot, but it doesn't matter since HandleFunctionRequest will throw an error shortly anywy). Hence, not a major bug. Along the way, add some ability to log fastpath calls when statement logging is turned on. This could probably stand to be improved further, but not logging anything is clearly undesirable. Backpatched as far as 8.0; bug doesn't exist before that.
2006-06-09Repair remarkably-inefficient query for dumping large object comments: itTom Lane
was invoking obj_description() for each large object chunk, instead of once per large object. This code is new as of 8.1, which may explain why the problem hadn't been noticed already.
2006-06-09Revert sampling patch for EXPLAIN ANALYZE; it turns out to be too unreliableTom Lane
because node timing is much less predictable than the patch expects. I kept the API change for InstrStopNode, however.
2006-06-08Fix bootstrap.c so that database startup process and bgwriter properly releaseTom Lane
LWLocks during a panic exit. This avoids the possible self-deadlock pointed out by Qingqing Zhou. Also, I noted that an error during LoadFreeSpaceMap() or BuildFlatFiles() would result in exit(0) which would leave the postmaster thinking all is well. Added a critical section to ensure such errors don't allow startup to proceed. Backpatched to 8.1. The 8.0 code is a bit different and I'm not sure if the problem exists there; given we've not seen this reported from the field, I'm going to be conservative about backpatching any further.

2006-06-07Per previous analysis, the most correct notion of SampleOverhead is thatTom Lane
it is just the total time to do INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), and not any of the other code involved in InstrStartNode/InstrStopNode. Even though I fear we may end up reverting this patch altogether, we may as well have the most correct version in our CVS archive.
2006-06-07Have REINDEX use NOTICE, so it can be suppressed.Bruce Momjian
2006-06-07Remove "fuzzy comparison" logic in qsort comparison function forTom Lane
choose_bitmap_and(). It was way too fuzzy --- per comment, it was meant to be 1% relative difference, but was actually coded as 0.01 absolute difference, thus causing selectivities of say 0.001 and 0.000000000001 to be treated as equal. I believe this thinko explains Maxim Boguk's recent complaint. While we could change it to a relative test coded like compare_fuzzy_path_costs(), there's a bigger problem here, which is that any fuzziness at all renders the comparison function non-transitive, which could confuse qsort() to the point of delivering completely wrong results. So forget the whole thing and just do an exact comparison.
