Tom Lane a4996a8953 Replace the parser's namespace tree (which formerly had the same
representation as the jointree) with two lists of RTEs, one showing
the RTEs accessible by qualified names, and the other showing the RTEs
accessible by unqualified names.  I think this is conceptually simpler
than what we did before, and it's sure a whole lot easier to search.
This seems to eliminate the parse-time bottleneck for deeply nested
JOIN structures that was exhibited by phil@vodafone.

That might be possible. However, I think that we should change only
aset.c about this article.
I thought further: We can check whether context was used from the last
reset even when blocks list is not empty. Please see attached patch.

Bruce Momjian 72c53ac3a7 Allow kerberos name and username case sensitivity to be specified from
postgresql.conf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:

1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.

3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.

4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)

I have attached the following seven patches to address this problem:

1. Trivial. Replaces some errant spaces with tabs.

2. Trivial. Fixes the spelling of Jan's name, and gets rid of many
   inane, useless, annoying, and often misleading comments. Here's
   a sample: "plperl_init_all() - Initialize all".

   (I have tried to add some useful comments here and there, and will
   continue to do so now and again.)

3. Trivial. Splits up some long lines.

4. Converts SRFs in PL/Perl to use a Tuplestore and SFRM_Materialize
   to return the result set, based on the PL/PgSQL model.

   There are two major consequences: result sets will spill to disk when
   they can no longer fit in work_mem; and "select foo_srf()" no longer
   works. (I didn't lose sleep over the latter, since that form is not
   valid in PL/PgSQL, and it's not documented in PL/Perl.)

5. Trivial, but important. Fixes use of "undef" instead of undef. This
   would cause empty functions to fail in bizarre ways. I suspect that
   there's still another (old) bug here. I'll investigate further.

6. Moves the majority of (4) out into a new plperl_return_next()
   function, to make it possible to expose the functionality to
   Perl; cleans up some of the code besides.

7. Add an spi_return_next function for use in Perl code.

If you want to apply the patches and try them out, 8-composite.diff is
what you should use. (Note: my patches depend upon Andrew's use-strict
and %_SHARED patches being applied.)

Here's something to try:

    create or replace function foo() returns setof record as $$
    $i = 0;
    for ("World", "PostgreSQL", "PL/Perl") {
        spi_return_next({f1=>++$i, f2=>'Hello', f3=>$_});
    }
    return;
    $$ language plperl;
    select * from foo() as (f1 integer, f2 text, f3 text);

(Many thanks to Andrews Dunstan and Supernews for their help.)

Tom Lane ba42002461 Revise handling of dropped columns in JOIN alias lists to avoid a
performance problem pointed out by phil@vodafone: to wit, we were
spending O(N^2) time to check dropped-ness in an N-deep join tree,
even in the case where the tree was freshly constructed and couldn't
possibly mention any dropped columns.  Instead of recursing in
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped(), change the data structure definition:
the joinaliasvars list of a JOIN RTE must have a NULL Const instead
of a Var at any position that references a now-dropped column.  This
costs nothing during normal parse-rewrite-plan path, and instead we
have a linear-time update to make when loading a stored rule that
might contain now-dropped columns.  While at it, move the responsibility
for acquring locks on relations referenced by rules into this separate
function (which I therefore chose to call AcquireRewriteLocks).
This saves effort --- namely, duplicated lock grabs in parser and rewriter
--- in the normal path at a cost of one extra non-locked heap_open()
in the stored-rule path; seems a good tradeoff.  A fringe benefit is
that it is now *much* clearer that we acquire lock on relations referenced
in rules before we make any rewriter decisions based on their properties.
(I don't know of any bug of that ilk, but it wasn't exactly clear before.)

Tom Lane b5ebef7c41 Push enable/disable of notify and catchup interrupts all the way down
to just around the bare recv() call that gets a command from the client.
The former placement in PostgresMain was unsafe because the intermediate
processing layers (especially SSL) use facilities such as malloc that are
not necessarily re-entrant.  Per report from counterstorm.com.

Tom Lane 21fda22ec4 Change CRCs in WAL records from 64bit to 32bit for performance reasons.
Instead of a separate CRC on each backup block, include backup blocks
in their parent WAL record's CRC; this is important to ensure that the
backup block really goes with the WAL record, ie there was not a page
tear right at the start of the backup block.  Implement a simple form
of compression of backup blocks: drop any run of zeroes starting at
pd_lower, so as not to store the unused 'hole' that commonly exists in
PG heap and index pages.  Tweak PageRepairFragmentation and related
routines to ensure they keep the unused space zeroed, so that the above
compression method remains effective.  All per recent discussions.
