Tom Lane 068bf6534f Fix initdb to not generate misleading error messages when postgres.bki
or other share-directory files are inaccessible for some reason other
than not existing.  Inspired by trouble report from Simon Kinsella.

Teodor Sigaev 61f621b506 Revert gincostestimate changes. 2007-01-31 16:54:51 +00:00
Teodor Sigaev b62f85691e Update FreeBSD DocBook installation notices 2007-01-31 15:23:28 +00:00
Teodor Sigaev d4c6da1527 Allow GIN's extractQuery method to signal that nothing can satisfy the query.
In this case extractQuery should returns -1 as nentries. This changes
prototype of extractQuery method to use int32* instead of uint32* for
nentries argument.
Based on that gincostestimate may see two corner cases: nothing will be found
or seqscan should be used.

Per proposal at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-01/msg01581.php

PS tsearch_core patch should be sightly modified to support changes, but I'm
waiting a verdict about reviewing of tsearch_core patch.

Bruce Momjian 91a753f68b Add FAQ item about timezones and daylight savings time. 2007-01-30 22:37:15 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 4ed9f1d9b7 Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntax
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E
strings will not treat backslashes specially.

Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The
existing examples would have drawn warnings.)

Backpatch to 8.2.X.

Tom Lane 35b039a26c Repair oversights in the mechanism used to store compiled plpgsql functions.
The original coding failed (tried to access deallocated memory) if there were
two active call sites (fn_extra pointers) for the same function and the
function definition was updated.  Also, if an update of a recursive function
was detected upon nested entry to the function, the existing compiled version
was summarily deallocated, resulting in crash upon return to the outer
instance.  Problem observed while studying a bug report from Sergiy
Vyshnevetskiy.

Bug does not exist before 8.1 since older versions just leaked the memory of
obsoleted compiled functions, rather than trying to reclaim it.
2007-01-30 22:05:13 +00:00
Tom Lane 33d78c9e48 Add SPI_push/SPI_pop calls so that datatype input and output functions called
by plpgsql can themselves use SPI --- possibly indirectly, as in the case
of domain_in() invoking plpgsql functions in a domain check constraint.
Per bug #2945 from Sergiy Vyshnevetskiy.

Somewhat arbitrarily, I've chosen to back-patch this as far as 8.0.  Given
the lack of prior complaints, it doesn't seem critical for 7.x.

Tom Lane a635c08fa1 Add support for cross-type hashing in hash index searches and hash joins.
Hashing for aggregation purposes still needs work, so it's not time to
mark any cross-type operators as hashable for general use, but these cases
work if the operators are so marked by hand in the system catalogs.

Tom Lane e8cd6f14a2 Add comment noting that hashm_procid in a hash index's metapage isn't

Tom Lane b39e91501c Improve hash join to discard input tuples immediately if they can't
match because they contain a null join key (and the join operator is
known strict).  Improves performance significantly when the inner
relation contains a lot of nulls, as per bug #2930.

Tom Lane 28c480e9ae Remove unnecessary checkpoint from PL regression tests. This was once
handy to prevent core dump files from disappearing, but it's useless now
because (a) we don't drop core in individual DB subdirectories anymore,
and (b) CREATE DATABASE forces an internal checkpoint anyway.

Neil Conway 74a1a2b8b1 Rename the uuid_t type to pg_uuid_t, to avoid a conflict with any
definitions of uuid_t that may be provided by the system headers. This
should hopefully fix the Win32 build problems reported by Magnus.

Tom Lane 2b8758a389 Repair oversight in creation of "append relations": we should set up
rel->tuples as well as rel->rows, since some estimation functions expect both
to be valid in every baserel.  Per report from Dave Dutcher.

Tom Lane 5681cde7b1 Make some small improvements in the accuracy of plpgsql's error location
reports; inspired by the misleading CONTEXT lines shown in recent bug report
from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.  Also, allow statement-type names shown in these
messages to be translated.

Andrew Dunstan 17c8493c64 Fix path problem in MSVC bison wrapper. per Joachim Wieland. 2007-01-28 16:29:37 +00:00
Neil Conway a534068e0e Add a new builtin type, "uuid". This implements a UUID type, similar to
that defined in RFC 4122. This patch includes the basic implementation,
plus regression tests. Documentation and perhaps some additional
functionality will come later. Catversion bumped.

Patch from Gevik Babakhani; review from Peter, Tom, and myself.

Tom Lane a8e0b66061 Fix up plpgsql's "simple expression" evaluation mechanism so that it behaves
safely in the presence of subtransactions.  To ensure that any ExprContext
shutdown callbacks are called at the right times, we have to have a separate
EState for each level of subtransaction.  Per "TupleDesc reference leak" bug
report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.

Although I'm convinced the code is wrong as far back as 8.0, it doesn't seem
that there are any ways for the problem to really manifest before 8.2: AFAICS,
8.0 and 8.1 only use the ExprContextCallback mechanism to handle set-returning
functions, which cannot usefully be executed in a "simple expression" anyway.
Hence, no backpatch before 8.2 --- the risk of unforeseen breakage seems
to outweigh the chance of fixing something.

Tom Lane 76c7d2afee Drat, can't fit an additional argument into log_error. Is it worth an
sprintf pushup to be sure we can report something useful for out-of-range
exitstatus?

Bruce Momjian 91ed399517 Use autoconf build-in sys_siglist macro AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST, rather than
create our own.

Tom Lane 9bf559dee3 Add a delay at the start of the stats test, to let any prior stats
activity quiesce.  Possibly this will fix the large increase in
non-reproducible stats test failures we've noted since turning on
stats_row_level by default.
2007-01-28 03:02:31 +00:00
Tom Lane a053437d9e Dept of second thoughts: the IQ of estimate_array_length() needs to be
kept on par with that of scalararraysel(), else estimates that should
track might not.  Hence teach it about binary-compatible cases, too.
2007-01-28 02:53:34 +00:00
Bruce Momjian c2c0b318d8 Add signal.h for sys_siglist reference. 2007-01-28 02:33:09 +00:00
Tom Lane af18f6ad85 Fix scalararraysel() to cope with binary-compatible cases, such as text[]
versus varchar[].  This oversight probably explains Ryan Holmes' recent
complaint --- he was getting a generic selectivity estimate instead of
anything intelligent.
2007-01-28 01:37:38 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 82480fc254 Use sys_siglist[] to print out signal names for signal exits, rather

Bruce Momjian 3ec7ae1b67 Modify SGML makefile to allow 'gmake draft' to build draft html ('draft'

2007-01-27 22:44:32 +00:00
Tom Lane 6cefacd7c8 Correct an old logic error in btree page splitting: when considering a split
exactly at the point where we need to insert a new item, the calculation used
the wrong size for the "high key" of the new left page.  This could lead to
choosing an unworkable split, resulting in "PANIC: failed to add item to the
left sibling" (or "right sibling") failure.  Although this bug has been there
a long time, it's very difficult to trigger a failure before 8.2, since there
was generally a lot of free space on both sides of a chosen split.  In 8.2,
where the user-selected fill factor determines how much free space the code
tries to leave, an unworkable split is much more likely.  Report by Joe
Conway, diagnosis and fix by Heikki Linnakangas.
