2007-06-22In psql, when running a SELECT query using a cursor, flush the queryNeil Conway
output after each FETCH. This ensures that incremental results are available to clients that are executing long-running SELECT queries via the FETCH_COUNT feature.
2007-06-21Allow trailing whitespace in parse_real(), for consistency withTom Lane
parse_int() and with itself (strtod allows leading whitespace, so it seems odd not to allow trailing whitespace). parse_bool remains not-whitespace-friendly, but this is generically true for non-numeric GUC variables, so I'll desist from changing it.
2007-06-21Provide a HINT listing the allowed unit names when a GUC variable seems toTom Lane
contain a wrong unit specification, per discussion. In passing, fix the code to avoid unnecessary integer overflows when converting units, and to detect overflows when they do occur.
2007-06-20Restrict deadlock_timeout to the range for which the implementationTom Lane
actually works sanely, viz not 0 and not more than INT_MAX/1000 (else TimestampTzPlusMilliseconds can overflow). Per discussion with Greg Stark. Since this is a superuser-only setting and there was not previously any big reason to change it, not worth back-patching.
2007-06-20transformColumnDefinition failed to complain aboutTom Lane
create table foo (bar int default null default 3); due to not thinking about the special-case handling of DEFAULT NULL. Problem noticed while investigating bug #3396.
2007-06-20CREATE DOMAIN ... DEFAULT NULL failed because gram.y special-cases DEFAULTTom Lane
NULL and DefineDomain didn't. Bug goes all the way back to original coding of domains. Per bug #3396 from Sergey Burladyan.
2007-06-20Quiet warnings about redefined PGPORT macros for MSVC.Andrew Dunstan
2007-06-20Minor code cleanup: calling FreeFile() before ereport(ERROR) is notNeil Conway
necessary, since files opened via AllocateFile() are closed automatically as part of error recovery.
2007-06-19Only log 'process acquired lock' if we actually did get the lock. ThisTom Lane
test seems inessential right now since the only control path for not getting the lock is via CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS which won't return control to ProcSleep, but it would be important if we ever allow the deadlock code to kill someone else's transaction instead of our own.
2007-06-19Remove duplicate #include.Neil Conway
2007-06-19Code review for log_lock_waits patch. Don't try to issue log messages fromTom Lane
within a signal handler (this might be safe given the relatively narrow code range in which the interrupt is enabled, but it seems awfully risky); do issue more informative log messages that tell what is being waited for and the exact length of the wait; minor other code cleanup. Greg Stark and Tom Lane
2007-06-18Arrange for quote_identifier() and pg_dump to not quote keywords that areTom Lane
unreserved according to the grammar. The list of unreserved words has gotten extensive enough that the unnecessary quoting is becoming a bit of an eyesore. To do this, add knowledge of the keyword category to keywords.c's table. (Someday we might be able to generate keywords.c's table and the keyword lists in gram.y from a common source.) For the moment, lie about WITH's status in the table so it will still get quoted --- this is because of the expectation that WITH will become reserved when the SQL recursive-queries patch gets done. I didn't force initdb because this affects nothing on-disk; but note that a few regression tests have changed expected output.
2007-06-18Remove comment about modifying tab-complete.c for userset GUC.Magnus Hagander
Simon Riggs
2007-06-18Update obsolete comment: it's no longer the case that mdread() will allowTom Lane
reads beyond EOF, except by special coercion.
2007-06-17Marginal hacking to improve the speed of COPY OUT. I had found in a bit ofTom Lane
profiling that CopyAttributeOutText was taking an unreasonable fraction of the backend run time (like 66%!) on the following trivial test case: $ time psql -c "copy (select repeat('xyzzy',50) from generate_series(1,10000000)) to stdout" regression >/dev/null The time is all being spent on scanning the string for characters to be escaped, which most of the time there aren't any of. Some tweaking to take as many tests as possible out of the inner loop reduced the runtime of this example by more than 10%. In a real-world case it wouldn't be as useful a speedup, but it still seems worth adding a few lines here.
2007-06-17Revert an ill-considered portion of my patch of 12-Mar, which tried to save aTom Lane
few lines in sql_exec_error_callback() by using the function source string field that the patch added to SQL function cache entries. This doesn't work because the fn_extra field isn't filled in yet during init_sql_fcache(). Probably it could be made to work, but it doesn't seem appropriate to contort the main code paths to make an error-reporting path a tad faster. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
2007-06-15Tweak the API for per-datatype typmodin functions so that they are passedTom Lane
an array of strings rather than an array of integers, and allow any simple constant or identifier to be used in typmods; for example create table foo (f1 widget(42,'23skidoo',point)); Of course the typmodin function has still got to pack this info into a non-negative int32 for storage, but it's still a useful improvement in flexibility, especially considering that you can do nearly anything if you are willing to keep the info in a side table. We can get away with this change since we have not yet released a version providing user-definable typmods. Per discussion.
2007-06-15Applied patch by Joachim to enable checktcp againMichael Meskes
2007-06-14Avoid having autovacuum run multiple ANALYZE commands in a single transaction,Alvaro Herrera
to prevent possible deadlock problems. Per request from Tom Lane.
2007-06-14Add resultmap entries for mingw - same as for msvcMagnus Hagander
2007-06-14Properly identify mingw as a win32 platform needing different diffMagnus Hagander
options to deal with strange line endings.
2007-06-14Implement a chunking protocol for writes to the syslogger pipe, with messagesAndrew Dunstan
reassembled in the syslogger before writing to the log file. This prevents partial messages from being written, which mucks up log rotation, and messages from different backends being interleaved, which causes garbled logs. Backport as far as 8.0, where the syslogger was introduced. Tom Lane and Andrew Dunstan
2007-06-13Schema-qualify several references to the builtin function length(), toNeil Conway
avoid mistakenly calling a function of the same name that might happen to appear earlier in the schema search path.
2007-06-13Avoid integer overflow issues in autovacuum.Alvaro Herrera
2007-06-12Add some simple defenses against null fields in pg_largeobject, and addTom Lane
comments noting that there's an alignment assumption now that the data field could be in 1-byte-header format. Per discussion with Greg Stark.
2007-06-12ECPG requires a local include directory to override the project-wide ones.Magnus Hagander
Add ability to add "prefix include directories", and use it... With this, ecpg regression tests now pass on MSVC builds.
2007-06-12Add some comments about the safety of accessing rolpassword without usingTom Lane
the normal heap_getattr() machinery. Per Greg Stark.
2007-06-12Minor comment fixes.Tom Lane
2007-06-12Fix DecodeDateTime to allow timezone to appear before year. This hadTom Lane
historically worked in some but not all cases, but as of 8.2 it failed for all timezone formats. Fix, and add regression test cases to catch future regressions in this area. Per gripe from Adam Witney.

2007-06-12Rewrite ECPG regression test driver in C, by splitting the standardMagnus Hagander
regression driver into two parts and reusing half of it. Required to run ECPG tests without a shell on MSVC builds. Fix ECPG thread tests for MSVC build (incl output files). Joachim Wieland and Magnus Hagander
2007-06-12Synced parser and keyword list.Michael Meskes
2007-06-11Improve UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF so that they can be used from plpgsqlTom Lane
with a plpgsql-defined cursor. The underlying mechanism for this is that the main SQL engine will now take "WHERE CURRENT OF $n" where $n is a refcursor parameter. Not sure if we should document that fact or consider it an implementation detail. Per discussion with Pavel Stehule.
2007-06-11Should not try to unlink stdout.Michael Meskes
2007-06-11Fixed one memory leak in descriptor code.Michael Meskes
Made sure ecpg deletes output file in case of an error.
2007-06-11Support UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name, per SQL standard.Tom Lane
Along the way, allow FOR UPDATE in non-WITH-HOLD cursors; there may once have been a reason to disallow that, but it seems to work now, and it's really rather necessary if you want to select a row via a cursor and then update it in a concurrent-safe fashion. Original patch by Arul Shaji, rather heavily editorialized by Tom Lane.
2007-06-09Teach heapam code to know the difference between a real seqscan and theTom Lane
pseudo HeapScanDesc created for a bitmap heap scan. This avoids some useless overhead during a bitmap scan startup, in particular invoking the syncscan code. (We might someday want to do that, but right now it's merely useless contention for shared memory, to say nothing of possibly pushing useful entries out of syncscan's small LRU list.) This also allows elimination of ugly pgstat_discount_heap_scan() kluge.
2007-06-09Insert ORDER BY into a few regression test queries that now have unstableTom Lane
results due to syncscan patch, when shared_buffers is small enough. Per buildfarm reports and some local testing with shared_buffers set to the lowest value considered by initdb.
2007-06-09Allow numeric_fac() to be interrupted, since it can take quite a while forTom Lane
large inputs. Also cause it to error out immediately if the result will overflow, instead of grinding through a lot of calculation first. Per gripe from Jim Nasby.
2007-06-08Disallow the cost balancing code from resulting in a zero cost limit, whichAlvaro Herrera
causes a division-by-zero error in the vacuum code. This can happen when there are more workers than cost limit units. Per report from Galy Lee in <200705310914.l4V9E6JA094603@wwwmaster.postgresql.org>.
2007-06-08Avoid passing zero as a value for vacuum_cost_limit, because it's not a validAlvaro Herrera
value for the vacuum code. Instead, make zero signify getting the value from a higher level configuration facility, just like -1 in the original coding. We still document that -1 is the value that disables the feature, to avoid confusing the user unnecessarily. Reported by Galy Lee in <200705310914.l4V9E6JA094603@wwwmaster.postgresql.org>; per subsequent discussion.
2007-06-08Arrange for large sequential scans to synchronize with each other, so thatTom Lane
when multiple backends are scanning the same relation concurrently, each page is (ideally) read only once. Jeff Davis, with review by Heikki and Tom.
2007-06-07Redefine IsTransactionState() to only return true for TRANS_INPROGRESS state,Tom Lane
which is the only state in which it's safe to initiate database queries. It turns out that all but two of the callers thought that's what it meant; and the other two were using it as a proxy for "will GetTopTransactionId() return a nonzero XID"? Since it was in fact an unreliable guide to that, make those two just invoke GetTopTransactionId() always, then deal with a zero result if they get one.
2007-06-07Rework temp_tablespaces patch so that temp tablespaces are assigned separatelyTom Lane
for each temp file, rather than once per sort or hashjoin; this allows spreading the data of a large sort or join across multiple tablespaces. (I remain dubious that this will make any difference in practice, but certain people insisted.) Arrange to cache the results of parsing the GUC variable instead of recomputing from scratch on every demand, and push usage of the cache down to the bottommost fd.c level.
2007-06-07Avoid losing track of data for shared tables in pgstats. Report by MichaelAlvaro Herrera
Fuhr, patch from Tom Lane after a messier suggestion by me.
2007-06-06Fix up text concatenation so that it accepts all the reasonable cases thatTom Lane
were accepted by prior Postgres releases. This takes care of the loose end left by the preceding patch to downgrade implicit casts-to-text. To avoid breaking desirable behavior for array concatenation, introduce a new polymorphic pseudo-type "anynonarray" --- the added concatenation operators are actually text || anynonarray and anynonarray || text.
