Bruce Momjian 51b488535e Here's a patch implementing the "thread method" to workaround the bug
with socket calls in signal handlers (APC) on Win32. See details in mail
to pgsql-hackers-win32 a couple of minutes ago.

Bruce Momjian 6daf396879 Add thread locking to SSL and Kerberos connections.
I have removed the docs mentioning that SSL and Kerberos are not
thread-safe.

Neil Conway 017e3e244a Fix some whitespace formatting, and remove an overly-verbose
parameter description: postgresql.conf is not the place for
documentating the functionality of a GUC var.

Bruce Momjian 48b2802eee When changing select() calls for delays into pg_usleep(), two comments
in s_lock.c were not updated, and still refers to select. Made my grep
hit the wrong files, so I figured a simple patch was in order.. (other
refs in the same comment block was changed..)

Tom Lane 24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.

Tom Lane 2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

Tom Lane 0d88dd1e50 Before deciding we can use a socket for statistics collection, test to
ensure that it actually passes data.  This catches cases such as a kernel
packet filter rule that makes the socket useless.

Tom Lane 74ffc77279 Code review for log_line_prefix patch. Cooperate with StringInfo instead
of fighting it, avoid hard-wired (and wrong) assumption about max length
of prefix, cause %l to actually work as documented, don't compute data
we may not need.

Tom Lane fbac1272b8 During btree index build, sort equal-keyed tuples according to their
TID (heap position).  This doesn't do anything to the validity of the
finished index, but by pretending to qsort() that there are no really
equal keys in the sort, we can avoid performance problems with qsort
implementations that have trouble with large numbers of equal keys.
Patch from Manfred Koizar.

Tom Lane 55f7c3300d Reimplement CASE val WHEN compval1 THEN ... WHEN compval2 THEN ... END
so that the 'val' is computed only once, per recent discussion.  The
speedup is not much when 'val' is just a simple variable, but could be
significant for larger expressions.  More importantly this avoids issues
with multiple evaluations of a volatile 'val', and it allows the CASE
expression to be reverse-listed in its original form by ruleutils.c.

Tom Lane c1352052ef Replace the switching function ExecEvalExpr() with a macro that jumps
directly to the appropriate per-node execution function, using a function
pointer stored by ExecInitExpr.  This speeds things up by eliminating one
level of function call.  The function-pointer technique also enables further
small improvements such as only making one-time tests once (and then
changing the function pointer).  Overall this seems to gain about 10%
on evaluation of simple expressions, which isn't earthshaking but seems
a worthwhile gain for a relatively small hack.  Per recent discussion
on pghackers.

Bruce Momjian dea47eee06 Windows uses codepages rather than the environment, so we work around
that by querying the environment explicitly first for LC_COLLATE and
LC_CTYPE. We have to do this because initdb passes those values in the
environment. If there is nothing there we fall back on the codepage.

Tom Lane 1bc2d544b9 Localize our dependencies on the way to create NAN or INFINITY.
Per recent proposal to pghackers.
2004-03-15 03:29:22 +00:00
Tom Lane 89ab5c4abf Remove grotty special-case code in coerce_to_target_type() that
implemented casts to varchar and bpchar using a cast-to-text function.
This is a holdover from before we had pg_cast; it now makes more sense
to just list these casts in pg_cast.  While at it, add pg_cast entries
for the other direction (casts from varchar/bpchar) where feasible.

Neil Conway 80ac9b06ac Portability fixes and bug fixes for recent floating point input changes.
In particular, don't depend on strtod() to accept 'NaN' and 'Infinity'
inputs (while this is required by C99, not all platforms are compliant
with that yet). Also, don't require glibc's behavior from isinf():
it seems that on a lot of platforms isinf() does not itself distinguish
between negative and positive infinity.

Tom Lane a8a3b54724 Arrange to emit a CONTEXT: SQL function "foo" entry in an error
message that is reporting a prechecking error in a SQL function.
This is to cue client-side code that the syntax error position,
if any, is with respect to the function body and not the outer command.
2004-03-14 01:58:41 +00:00
Tom Lane b88fa3b196 Generate a WARNING when the column types in a foreign key constraint are
incompatible enough to prevent indexscanning the referenced table.  Also,
improve the error message that pops out when we can't implement the FK at
all for lack of a usable equality operator.  Fabien Coelho, with some review
by Tom Lane.

Tom Lane 642cd0ab13 Repair memory leakage introduced into the non-hashed aggregate case by
7.4 rewrite for hashed aggregate support.  If the transition data type
is pass-by-reference, the transValue must be pfreed when starting a new

Rae Steining for providing a reproducible test case.

Neil Conway bfd6f52b0e Allow 'Infinity' and '-Infinity' as input to the float4 and float8
types. Update the regression tests and the documentation to reflect
this. Remove the UNSAFE_FLOATS #ifdef.

This is only half the story: we still unconditionally reject
floating point operations that result in +/- infinity. See
recent thread on -hackers for more information.
2004-03-12 00:25:43 +00:00
Neil Conway e2ded829f6 Revise int2/int4/int8/float4/float8 input routines to allow for
any amount of leading or trailing whitespace (where "whitespace"
is defined by isspace()). This is for SQL conformance, as well
as consistency with other numeric types (e.g. oid, numeric).

Also refactor pg_atoi() to avoid looking at errno where not
necessary, and add a bunch of regression tests for the input
to these types.

initialization of stats process under EXEC_BACKEND.

[A cleaner, rationalized approach to stat/backend/SSDataBase child
processes under EXEC_BACKEND is on my TODO list. However this patch
takes care of immediate concerns (ie. stats test now passes under
win32)]

Bruce Momjian eeec31774a Determines the PKGLIBDIR equivalent under win32. Requires pgsql lib and
bin directories to be packaged under the same root directory (eg. <some

does not appear to be an onerous restriction.

Tom Lane 64917ccb56 make_sort_from_pathkeys()'s method for choosing which of several
equivalent sort expressions to use was broken: you can't just look
at the relation membership, you have to actually grovel over the
individual Vars in each expression.  I think this did work when it
was written, but it was broken by subsequent optimizations that made
join relations not propagate every single input variable upward.
Must find the Var that got propagated, not choose one at random.
Per bug report from Daniel O'Neill.

Tom Lane 6161766daf Adjust remove_redundant_join_clauses() so that when it has a choice
of which redundant clause to remove, it removes the more expensive one.
In simple scenarios the clauses will be like 'var = var' and there's
no difference, but we are now capable of considering cases where there
are sub-selects in the clauses, and it makes a BIG difference.

Tom Lane fa96a5e15b Add %option nodefault to all our flex lexers. Fix a couple of rule gaps

Tom Lane 58e705320e Implement dollar-quoting in the backend lexer and psql. Documentation

Tom Lane 7a57a67278 Replace opendir/closedir calls throughout the backend with AllocateDir
and FreeDir routines modeled on the existing AllocateFile/FreeFile.
Like the latter, these routines will avoid failing on EMFILE/ENFILE
conditions whenever possible, and will prevent leakage of directory
descriptors if an elog() occurs while one is open.
Also, reduce PANIC to ERROR in MoveOfflineLogs() --- this is not
critical code and there is no reason to force a DB restart on failure.
All per recent trouble report from Olivier Hubaut.

Tom Lane f83356c7f5 Do a direct probe during postmaster startup to determine the maximum

Bruce Momjian 1f17316a3d Here is an updated version of the win32 readdir patch.
1) Now puts in exactly the same change as the current-cvs mingw code
does. (see
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mingw/runtime/mingwex/dirent.c?r1=
1.3&r2=1.4, second part of the patch).

2) Updates both xlog.c and slru.c in backend/access/transam/

3) Also updates pg_resetxlog, which also uses readdir() and checks the
errno value after the loop.

Bruce Momjian ec6feaaed4 Under Win32, stat() returns an st_ino field, but it has no meaning (on
Win2K, and possibly all Win32 variants, it is always 0). This causes a
number of problems in the dfmgr.c logic, which basically all revolve
around the fact that *any* two files will appear to have the same inode.

Tom Lane a536ed53bc Make use of statistics on index expressions. There are still some
corner cases that could stand improvement, but it does all the basic
stuff.  A byproduct is that the selectivity routines are no longer
constrained to working on simple Vars; we might in future be able to
improve the behavior for subexpressions that don't match indexes.

Tom Lane f0c9397f80 First steps towards statistics on expressional (nee functional) indexes.
This commit teaches ANALYZE to store such stats in pg_statistic, but
nothing is done yet about teaching the planner to use 'em.
Also, repair longstanding oversight in separate ANALYZE command: it
updated the pg_class.relpages and reltuples counts for the table proper,
but not for indexes.

Tom Lane a9e08392dd Create crosstype comparison operators for date vs. timestamp and date
vs. timestamptz.  This allows use of indexes for expressions like
  datecol >= date 'today' - interval '1 month'
which were formerly not indexable without casting the righthand side
down from timestamp to date.

Tom Lane 2e5fe483a3 Repair optimization bug I introduced in a moment of brain fade back in
Nov 2002: when constant-expression simplification removes all the
aggregate function calls from a query, that doesn't mean we can act as

2004-02-13 22:26:30 +00:00
Tom Lane 8787bc8ef3 After further thought about support for gathering stats on functional

between the compute_stats functions and the actual data storage.  This

for already empty buffers because their buffer tag was not cleard out

wit: Add a header record to each WAL segment file so that it can be reliably

strictly necessary, but makes it simpler to incorporate the header records).
Make WAL entries for file creation, deletion, and truncation (as foreseen but
never implemented by Vadim).  Also, add support for making XLOG_SEG_SIZE
configurable at compile time, similarly to BLCKSZ.  Fix a couple bugs I
introduced in WAL replay during recent smgr API changes.  initdb is forced

Changes:

    - remove duplicate signal definitions from pqsignal.h

    - replace pqkill() with kill() and redefine kill() in Win32

    - use ereport() in place of fprintf() in some error handling in
      pqsignal.c

    - export pg_queue_signal() and make use of it where necessary

    - add a console control handler for Ctrl-C and similar handling
      on Win32

    - do WaitForSingleObjectEx() in CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() on Win32;
      query cancelling should now work on Win32

Bruce Momjian e5e5a323ca Briefly,
* configure + Makefile changes
 * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
 * PATH env var separator differences
 * missing win32 rand functions added
 * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h


To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):

        * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)

        * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls

        * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro

        * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)

Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...

Tom Lane 5d66583678 Repair planner failure for cases involving Cartesian products inside
IN (sub-SELECT) constructs.  We must force a clauseless join of the

Tom Lane 3969f2924b Revise GEQO planner to make use of some heuristic knowledge about SQL, namely
that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there
are not.  Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't
fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins.  These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4.  Consequently,
adjust the default GEQO parameters.  I also modified the way geqo_effort is
used so that it affects both population size and number of generations;
it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality
tradeoff.  Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO
seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.

Tom Lane 9bd681a522 Repair problem identified by Olivier Prenant: ALTER DATABASE SET search_path
should not be too eager to reject paths involving unknown schemas, since
it can't really tell whether the schemas exist in the target database.
(Also, when reading pg_dumpall output, it could be that the schemas
don't exist yet, but eventually will.)  ALTER USER SET has a similar issue.
So, reduce the normal ERROR to a NOTICE when checking search_path values
for these commands.  Supporting this requires changing the API for GUC
assign_hook functions, which causes the patch to touch a lot of places,
but the changes are conceptually trivial.

vsnprintf will return -1 in such cases, leading to looping and eventual
memory overflow in elog.c.  Instead use our own, more robust pg_mbcliplen

Tom Lane 6bdfde9a77 When testing whether a sub-plan can do projection, use a general-purpose
check instead of hardwiring assumptions that only certain plan node types
can appear at the places where we are testing.  This was always a pretty
fragile assumption, and it turns out to be broken in 7.4 for certain cases
involving IN-subselect tests that need type coercion.
Also, modify code that builds finished Plan tree so that node types that
don't do projection always copy their input node's targetlist, rather than
having the tlist passed in from the caller.  The old method makes it too
easy to write broken code that thinks it can modify the tlist when it
cannot.
