includes error checking and an appropriate ereport(ERROR) message.
This gets rid of rather tedious and error-prone manipulation of errno,
as well as a Windows-specific bug workaround, at more than a dozen
call sites. After an idea in a recent patch by Heikki Linnakangas.
it is sufficient to track whether a backend holds a lock or not, and
store information about transaction vs. session locks only in the
inside-the-backend LocalLockTable. Since there can now be but one
PROCLOCK per lock per backend, LockCountMyLocks() is no longer needed,
thus eliminating some O(N^2) behavior when a backend holds many locks.
Also simplify the LockAcquire/LockRelease API by passing just a
'sessionLock' boolean instead of a transaction ID. The previous API
was designed with the idea that per-transaction lock holding would be
important for subtransactions, but now that we have subtransactions we
know that this is unwanted. While at it, add an 'isTempObject' parameter
to LockAcquire to indicate whether the lock is being taken on a temp
table. This is not used just yet, but will be needed shortly for
two-phase commit.
and RelationNameGetTupleDesc() as deprecated; remove uses of the
latter in the contrib library. Along the way, clean up crosstab()
code and documentation a little.
are now reported via elog, eliminating the need to test the result code
at most call sites. Make it possible for the caller to distinguish a
freshly acquired lock from one already held in the current transaction.
Use that capability to avoid redundant AcceptInvalidationMessages() calls
in LockRelation().
spotted by Qingqing Zhou. The HASH_ENTER action now automatically
fails with elog(ERROR) on out-of-memory --- which incidentally lets
us eliminate duplicate error checks in quite a bunch of places. If
you really need the old return-NULL-on-out-of-memory behavior, you
can ask for HASH_ENTER_NULL. But there is now an Assert in that path
checking that you aren't hoping to get that behavior in a palloc-based
hash table.
Along the way, remove the old HASH_FIND_SAVE/HASH_REMOVE_SAVED actions,
which were not being used anywhere anymore, and were surely too ugly
and unsafe to want to see revived again.
Also, remove the rather useless return value of LockReleaseAll. Change
response to detection of corruption in the shared lock tables to PANIC,
since that is the only way of cleaning up fully.
Originally an idea of Heikki Linnakangas, variously hacked on by
Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
for testing PLs and contrib_regression for testing contrib, instead of
overwriting the core system's regression database as formerly done.

external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST
API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the
public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into
gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should
be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions.
Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes
from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(),
and GISTNStrategies.
which is neither needed by nor related to that header. Remove the bogus
inclusion and instead include the header in those C files that actually
need it. Also fix unnecessary inclusions and bad inclusion order in
tsearch2 files.
that return INTERNAL without also having INTERNAL arguments. Since the
functions in question aren't meant to be called by hand anyway, I just
redeclared them to take 'internal' instead of 'text'. Also add code
to ProcedureCreate() to enforce the restriction, as I should have done
to start with :-(
Essentially, we shoehorn in a lockable-object-type field by taking
a byte away from the lockmethodid, which can surely fit in one byte
instead of two. This allows less artificial definitions of all the
other fields of LOCKTAG; we can get rid of the special pg_xactlock
pseudo-relation, and also support locks on individual tuples and
general database objects (including shared objects). None of those
possibilities are actually exploited just yet, however.
I removed pg_xactlock from pg_class, but did not force initdb for
that change. At this point, relkind 's' (SPECIAL) is unused and
could be removed entirely.
command line. We find this useful because we frequently deal with
thousands of tables in an environment where neither the databases nor
the tables are updated frequently. This helps allow us to cut down on
the overhead of updating the list for every other primary loop of
pg_autovacuum.
I chose -i as the command-line argument and documented it briefly in
the README.
The patch was applied to the 7.4.7 version of pg_autovacuum in contrib.

indexes. Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open
and index_open. Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in
various places. Remove relcache's support for looking up system
catalogs by name. Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...
change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index,
and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and
FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded
in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header
size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible
to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet.
There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which
I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it
altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct,
and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.
* test error handling
* add tests for des, 3des, cast5
* add some tests to blowfish, rijndael
* Makefile: ability to specify different tests for different crypto
libraries, so we can skip des, 3des and cast5 for builtin.

Reserve px_get_random_bytes() for strong randomness,
add new function px_get_pseudo_random_bytes() for
weak randomness and use it in gen_salt().
On openssl case, use RAND_pseudo_bytes() for
px_get_pseudo_random_bytes().
Final result is that is user has not configured random
souce but kept the 'silly' one, gen_salt() keeps
working, but pgp_encrypt() will throw error.

* openssl.c: Add 3des and AES support
* README.pgcrypto: list only supported ciphers for openssl
OpenSSL has pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_NO_AES, which
isn't that helpful for detecting if it _does_ exist.
Thus the hack with AES_ENCRYPT.
Marko Kreen
* Use error codes instead of -1
* px_strerror for new error codes
* calling convention change for px_gen_salt - return error code
* use px_strerror in pgcrypto.c
Marko Kreen
It was a bad style to begin with, and now several loops can be clearer.
* pgcrypto.c: Fix function comments
* crypt-gensalt.c, crypt-blowfish.c: stop messing with errno
* openssl.c: use px_free instead pfree
* px.h: make redefining px_alloc/px_realloc/px_free easier

libmcrypt seems to dead, maintainer address bounces,
and cast-128 fails on 2 of the 3 test vectors from RFC2144.
So I see no reason to keep around stuff I don't trust
anymore.
Support for several crypto libraries is probably only
confusing to users, although it was good for initial
developing - it helped to find hidden assumptions and
forced me to create regression tests for all functionality.

can tell whether it is being used as an aggregate or not. This allows
such a function to avoid re-pallocing a pass-by-reference transition
value; normally it would be unsafe for a function to scribble on an input,
but in the aggregate case it's safe to reuse the old transition value.
Make int8inc() do this. This gets a useful improvement in the speed of
COUNT(*), at least on narrow tables (it seems to be swamped by I/O when
the table rows are wide). Per a discussion in early December with
Neil Conway. I also fixed int_aggregate.c to check this, thereby
turning it into something approaching a supportable technique instead
of being a crude hack.
0.9.7x have EVP_DigestFinal function which which clears all of
EVP_MD_CTX. This makes pgcrypto crash in functions which
re-use one digest context several times: hmac() and crypt()
with md5 algorithm.
Following patch fixes it by carring the digest info around
EVP_DigestFinal and re-initializing cipher.
