AtCommit_Notify could see an uncommitted tuple is where the other guy
has just unlistened and not yet committed. The best solution seems to
be to just skip updating that tuple, on the assumption that the other
guy does not want to hear about the notification anyway. This is not
perfect --- if the other guy rolls back his unlisten instead of committing,
then he really should have gotten this notify. But to do that, we'd have
to wait to see if he commits or not, or make UNLISTEN hold exclusive lock
on pg_listener until commit. Either of these answers is deadlock-prone,
not to mention horrible for interactive performance. Do it this way

That patch needed some work: it assumed the sqlcode in a server message was
fixed in its position, the patch lost the ability to pass exceptions, and the
patch missed a couple of places where server errors where being received.
In addition to fixing the above, I also added full support for the V3 protocol

constructor to more closely follow the constructors for SQLException, I changed
the new constructors that take PSQLState to take Object for additional
parameters as the old ones did.

hashtable management code in execGrouping.c in favor of using dynahash to
manage tuple hashtables; which is a win because dynahash knows how to expand
a hashtable when the original size estimate was too small, whereas the
special-purpose code was too stupid to do that. (See recent gripe from
Stephan Szabo about poor performance when hash table size estimate is way
off.) Free side benefit: when using string_hash, the default comparison
function is now strncmp() instead of memcmp(). This should eliminate some

I'd have to disagree with regards to the memory leaks not being worth

This version has the seven fields I proposed, including "source". Here's
an example that shows why I think it's valuable:
regression=# \x
Expanded display is on.
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name | enable_seqscan
setting | on
context | user
vartype | bool
source | default
min_val |
max_val |
regression=# update pg_settings set setting = 'off' where name =
'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]---
set_config | off
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name | enable_seqscan
setting | off
context | user
vartype | bool
source | session
min_val |
max_val |
regression=# alter user postgres set enable_seqscan to 'off';
ALTER USER
(log out and then back in again)
regression=# \x
Expanded display is on.
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name | enable_seqscan
setting | off
context | user
vartype | bool
source | user
min_val |
max_val |
In the first case, enable_seqscan is set to its default value. After
setting it to off, it is obvious that the value has been changed for the
session only. In the third case, you can see that the value has been set
specifically for the user.

To sum up, there's a new client parameter "sslmode" and environment
variable "PGSSLMODE", with these options:
sslmode description
------- -----------
disable Unencrypted non-SSL only
allow Negotiate, prefer non-SSL
prefer Negotiate, prefer SSL (default)
require Require SSL
The only change to the server is a new pg_hba.conf line type,
"hostnossl", for specifying connections that are not allowed to use SSL
(for example, to prevent servers on a local network from accidentally
using SSL and wasting cycles). Thus the 3 pg_hba.conf line types are:
pg_hba.conf line types
----------------------
host applies to either SSL or regular connections
hostssl applies only to SSL connections
hostnossl applies only to regular connections
These client and server options, the postgresql.conf ssl = false option,
and finally the possibility of compiling with no SSL support at all,
make quite a range of combinations to test. I threw together a test
script to try many of them out. It's in a separate tarball with its
config files, a patch to psql so it'll announce SSL connections even in
absence of a tty, and the test output. The test is especially informative
when run on the same tty the postmaster was started on, so the FATAL:
errors during negotiation are interleaved with the psql client output.

dropped columns. Fix by using LEFT JOIN rather than straight join
between pg_attribute and pg_type. Also, use pg_type.oid as input to
format_type, so that we don't get a failure on deleted types of deleted
columns (this may be a change we ought to backpatch to 7.3....).
Alias the appropriate columns back to their original name.
Fixed formatting of a few other places as I went along (indenting)

Ok.. that works.
I must say it's a little strange being able to take a constant and say
its no longer constant anymore -- but I suppose it's no different than
defining then undefining pre-processor constants.

and Dmitry Tkach. Specifically the previous fix still allowed the statement termination character through in unquoted places in the sql statement, and the driver never correctly handled someone passing a value of \0 in a string which under the v2 protocol would end the statement causing the following text to possibly
be treated as a new sql statement

fixed incorrect initial setting of StartUpID. The logic in XLogWrite()
expects that Write->curridx is advanced to the next page as soon as
LogwrtResult points to the end of the current page, but StartupXLOG()

boundary. Per trouble report from Hannu Krosing.

Someday we should try to support at least some cases of this, but for
now just plug the hole in the dike. Per discussion with Dmitry Tkach.
shared_buffers and max_connections values to use before we run the
bootstrap process. Without this, initdb would fail on platforms where
the hardwired default values are too large. (We could get around that
by making the hardwired defaults tiny, perhaps, but why slow down
bootstrap by starving it for buffers...)
and 100 respectively, if the platform will allow it. initdb selects
values that are not too large to allow the postmaster to start, and
places these values in the installed postgresql.conf file. This allows
us to continue to start up out-of-the-box on platforms with small SHMMAX,
while having somewhat-realistic default settings on platforms with
reasonable SHMMAX. Per recent pghackers discussion.

instead of the former kluge whereby gram.y emitted already-transformed

actually work correctly. I suppose some might claim that the side effect

a bug fix.
It also works to create a non-polymorphic aggregate from polymorphic

Applied patch by Philip Yarra to fix some thread issues.
Added a new data type "decimal" which is mostly the same as our
"numeric" but uses a fixed length array to store the digits. This is
for compatibility with Informix and maybe others.
ANYELEMENT. The effect is to postpone typechecking of the function

node emits only those vars that are actually needed above it in the
plan tree. (There were comments in the code suggesting that this was
done at some point in the dim past, but for a long time we have just
made join nodes emit everything that either input emitted.) Aside from
being marginally more efficient, this fixes the problem noted by Peter
Eisentraut where a join above an IN-implemented-as-join might fail,
because the subplan targetlist constructed in the latter case didn't
meet the expectation of including everything.
Along the way, fix some places that were O(N^2) in the targetlist
length. This is not all the trouble spots for wide queries by any
means, but it's a step forward.
