Peter Eisentraut 40853dd445 Allow pg_dumpall to work with previous releases again. Don't pass the -c
option down to pg_dump, where it's useless, and clarify the meaning of -c
in the documentation.

Peter Eisentraut 38e444aae6 Make sure the pg_dump tar archiver can handle members larger than 2 GB, but
does not create members larger than allowed by the tar format.  Also, fix
the generation of the tar header to conform to POSIX.

creation to world, but disallow temp table creation in template1.  Per
latest round of pghackers discussion.
I did not force initdb, but the permissions lockdown on template1 will
not take effect unless you do one (or manually REVOKE TEMP ON DATABASE template1 FROM public).

Tom Lane ab82bde7e0 Code review and documentation updates for indisclustered patch. 2002-09-03 01:04:41 +00:00
Tom Lane 8c8aa53953 pg_on_connection_loss command for libpgtcl. Patch from
Gerhard Hintermayer, revised and documented by Tom Lane.

This patch also fixes a 'must fix' bug: libpgtcl's LISTEN/NOTIFY
support was broken by the recent changes to the PGnotify structure.
Guess that change wasn't quite so safe as we thought.

Bruce Momjian 81efc82608 This patch fixes a minor inaccuracy in the documentation: NOT NULL is
not synonymous with CHECK (xxx IS NOT NULL) -- for example, consider
ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY, which checks for 'NOT NULL', not a check
constraint.

Bruce Momjian a12b4e279b I checked all the previous string handling errors and most of them were
already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch
should fix the rest of them.

I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.

I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing
snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.

Tom Lane c7a165adc6 Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headers
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask,
per earlier discussion.  Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple
header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place).  Don't try to
clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there.  Don't
try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either.  Get rid
of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which
has already caused one recent failure.  Improve documentation.

Tom Lane 1bab464eb4 Code review for pg_locks feature. Make shmemoffset of PROCLOCK structs
available (else there's no way to interpret the list links).  Change
pg_locks view to show transaction ID locks separately from ordinary
relation locks.  Avoid showing N duplicate rows when the same lock is
held multiple times (seems unlikely that users care about exact hold
count).  Improve documentation.

Tom Lane 9c279355fb Updates to reflect availability of autocommit option. 2002-08-30 22:45:25 +00:00
Tom Lane 26993b2918 AUTOCOMMIT mode is now an available backend GUC variable; setting it
to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before.
I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
autocommit off.  But it's a start.

Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.

Tom Lane e4186762ff Adjust nodeFunctionscan.c to reset transient memory context between calls

Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.

Bruce Momjian e0a77f56e3 Cleanup of SGML 2002-08-27 03:55:17 +00:00
Bruce Momjian c0ad595386 I attach a little patch to make CLUSTER set and reset the indisclustered
bit on the indexes.

I also attach clusterdb and clusterdb.sgml; both of them are blatant
rips of vacuumdb and vacuumdb.sgml, but get the job done.  Please review
them, as I'm probably making a lot of mistakes with SGML and I can't
compile it here.

vacuumdb itself is not very comfortable to use when the databases have
passwords, because it has to connect once for each table (I can probably
make it connect only once for each database; should I?).  Because of
this I added a mention of PGPASSWORDFILE in the documentation, but I
don't know if that is the correct place for that.

part of this behavior, but not the second.

I also improved the documentation on the various situations in which
FOUND can be set (excluding inside FOR loops, which I still need to
think about), and added some regression tests for this behavior.

Bruce Momjian 82119a696e [ Newest version of patch applied.]
This patch is an updated version of the lock listing patch. I've made
the following changes:

    - write documentation
    - wrap the SRF in a view called 'pg_locks': all user-level
      access should be done through this view
    - re-diff against latest CVS

One thing I chose not to do is adapt the SRF to use the anonymous
composite type code from Joe Conway. I'll probably do that eventually,
but I'm not really convinced it's a significantly cleaner way to
bootstrap SRF builtins than the method this patch uses (of course, it
has other uses...)

Thanks.

Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out
that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in

Bruce Momjian dec918479f I guess I'd vote for changing the code to be
sys = malloc(strlen(editorName) + strlen(fname) + 10 + 1);
        if (!sys)
                return false;
        sprintf(sys, "exec '%s' '%s'", editorName, fname);

(note the added quotes to provide a little protection against spaces
and such).  Then it's perfectly obvious what the calculation is doing.
I don't care about wasting 20-some bytes, but confusing readers of the
code is worth avoiding.
