Robert Haas 0839f312e9 Change the default value of standard_conforming_strings to on.
This change should be publicized to driver maintainers at once and
release-noted as an incompatibility with previous releases.

Tom Lane 3ec694e17b Add a log_file_mode GUC that allows control of the file permissions set on
log files created by the syslogger process.

In passing, make unix_file_permissions display its value in octal, same
as log_file_mode now does.

Tom Lane 25be9b1d54 Use an <xref> for restore_command reference. Marko Tiikkaja 2010-07-14 22:04:21 +00:00
Tom Lane d494e685c5 Allow full SSL certificate verification (wherein libpq checks its host name
parameter against server cert's CN field) to succeed in the case where
both host and hostaddr are specified.  As with the existing precedents
for Kerberos, GSSAPI, SSPI, it is the calling application's responsibility
that host and hostaddr match up --- we just use the host name as given.
Per bug #5559 from Christopher Head.

In passing, make the error handling and messages for the no-host-name-given
failure more consistent among these four cases, and correct a lie in the
documentation: we don't attempt to reverse-lookup host from hostaddr
if host is missing.

Back-patch to 8.4 where SSL cert verification was introduced.

Tom Lane 1cc29fe7c6 Teach EXPLAIN to print PARAM_EXEC Params as the referenced expressions,
rather than just $N.  This brings the display of nestloop-inner-indexscan
plans back to where it's been, and incidentally improves the display of
SubPlan parameters as well.  In passing, simplify the EXPLAIN code by
having it deal primarily in the PlanState tree rather than separately
searching Plan and PlanState trees.  This is noticeably cleaner for
subplans, and about a wash elsewhere.

One small difference from previous behavior is that EXPLAIN will no longer
qualify local variable references in inner-indexscan plan nodes, since it
no longer sees such nodes as possibly referencing multiple tables.  Vars
referenced through PARAM_EXEC Params are still forcibly qualified, though,
so I don't think the display is any more confusing than before.  Adjust a
couple of examples in the documentation to match this behavior.

Robert Haas 20be0d480a Make log_temp_files based on kB, and revert docs & comments to match.
Per extensive discussion on pgsql-hackers.  We are deliberately not
back-patching this even though the behavior of 8.3 and 8.4 is
unquestionably broken, for fear of breaking existing users of this
parameter.  This incompatibility should be release-noted.

Tom Lane 291a957745 Split the LDFLAGS make variable into two parts: LDFLAGS is now used for
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries.  This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior.  Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before.  (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however.  It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)

Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.

Tom Lane aceedd88f6 Make vacuum_defer_cleanup_age be PGC_SIGHUP level, since it's not sensible
to have different values in different processes of the primary server.
Also put it into the "Streaming Replication" GUC category; it doesn't belong
in "Standby Servers" because you use it on the master not the standby.
In passing also correct guc.c's idea of wal_keep_segments' category.
2010-07-03 21:23:58 +00:00
Tom Lane e76c1a0f4d Replace max_standby_delay with two parameters, max_standby_archive_delay and
max_standby_streaming_delay, and revise the implementation to avoid assuming
that timestamps found in WAL records can meaningfully be compared to clock
time on the standby server.  Instead, the delay limits are compared to the
elapsed time since we last obtained a new WAL segment from archive or since
we were last "caught up" to WAL data arriving via streaming replication.
This avoids problems with clock skew between primary and standby, as well
as other corner cases that the original coding would misbehave in, such
as the primary server having significant idle time between transactions.
Per my complaint some time ago and considerable ensuing discussion.

Do some desultory editing on the hot standby documentation, too.

Back-patch to all supported branches, since this doco has been wrong right
along -- we certainly haven't changed the I/O behavior of these types in
many years.

Robert Haas e351593922 Rewrite docs for new libpq keepalive parameters.
The revised documentation makes it more clear that these are client-side
parameters, rather than server side parameters.  It also puts the main
point of each parameter first, and consolidates the conditions under which
it might be ignored in a single list at the end.
