Rather than using ReadBuffer() to increment the reference count on an
already-pinned buffer, we should use IncrBufferRefCount() as it is
faster and does not require acquiring the BufMgrLock.
even uglier than it was already :-(. Also, on Windows only, use temporary
shared memory segments instead of ordinary files to pass over critical
variable values from postmaster to child processes. Magnus Hagander
more than 65K columns, or when the created table has more than 65K columns
due to adding inherited columns from parent relations. Fix a similar
crash when processing SELECT queries with more than 65K target list
entries. In all three cases we would eventually detect the error and
elog, but the check was being made too late.
We don't really want to start a new SPI connection, just keep using the old
one; otherwise we have memory management problems as illustrated by
John Kennedy's bug report of today. This requires a bit of a hack to
ensure the SPI stack state is properly restored, but then again what we
were doing before was a hack too, strictly speaking. Add a regression
test to cover this case.
plain SUSET instead. Also delay processing of options received in
client connection request until after we know if the user is a superuser,
so that SUSET values can be set that way by legitimate superusers.
Per recent discussion.
buffer is valid, as ReadBuffer() will elog on error. Most of the call
sites of ReadBuffer() got this right, but this patch fixes those call
sites that did not.

shared memory segment ID. If we can't access the existing shmem segment,
it must not be relevant to our data directory. If we can access it,
then attach to it and check for an actual match to the data directory.
This should avoid some cases of failure-to-restart-after-boot without
introducing any significant risk of failing to detect a still-running
old backend.
estimates when combining the estimates for a range query. As pointed out
by Miquel van Smoorenburg, the existing check for an impossible combined
result would quite possibly fail to detect one default and one non-default
input. It seems better to use the default range query estimate in such
cases. To do so, add a check for an estimate of exactly DEFAULT_INEQ_SEL.
This is a bit ugly because it introduces additional coupling between
clauselist_selectivity and scalarltsel/scalargtsel, but it's not like
there wasn't plenty already...
working as intended --- for some reason, FROM a.b.c was getting
parsed as if it were a function name and not a qualified name.
I think there must be a bug in bison, because it should have
complained that the grammar was ambiguous. Anyway, fix it along
the same lines previously used for func_name vs columnref, and get
rid of the right-recursion in attrs that seems to have confused
bison.
type-and-length coercion function, make sure that the coercion function
is told the correct typmod. Fixes Kris Jurka's example of a domain
over bit(N).
clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly. Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index. It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default. This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so). All per recent discussions.
to DAY precision or coarser; leave the timezone alone when precision is
HOUR or less. This avoids surprises for inputs near a DST transition
time, as per example from Matthew Gabeler-Lee. (The only reason we
recalculate at all is so that outputs that are supposed to represent
days will come out as local midnight, and that's not relevant for sub-day
precision.)
use it, as per my proposal of yesterday. This gives us a means of
determining the zone offset to impute to an unlabeled timestamp that
is both efficient and reliable, unlike all our previous tries involving
mktime() and localtime(). The behavior for invalid or ambiguous times
at a DST transition is fixed to be really and truly "assume standard
time", fixing a bug that has come and gone repeatedly but was back
again in 7.4. (There is some ongoing discussion about whether we should
raise an error instead, but for the moment I'll make it do what it was
previously intended to do.)
of HeapTupleSatisfiesItself() to trigger a hint-bit update on the tuple:
if the row was updated or deleted by a subtransaction of my own transaction
that was later rolled back. This cannot occur in pre-8.0 of course, so
the hint-bit patch applied a couple weeks ago is OK for existing releases.
But for 8.0 it seems we had better fix things so that RI_FKey_check can
pass the correct buffer number to HeapTupleSatisfiesItself. Accordingly,
add fields to the TriggerData struct to carry the buffer ID(s) for the
old and new tuple(s). There are other possible solutions but this one
seems cleanest; it will allow other AFTER-trigger functions to safely
do tqual.c calls if they want to. Put new fields at end of struct so
that there is no API breakage.
We can't regurgitate the unconverted string as I first thought, because
the elog.c mechanisms will assume the error message data is in the server
encoding and attempt a reverse conversion. Eventually it might be worth
providing a short-circuit path to support this, but for now the simplest
solution is to abandon trying to report back the line contents after a
conversion failure. Per bug report from Sil Lee, 27-Oct-2004.
'recycled log files' and 'removed log files' messages from DEBUG1 to

file references it is holding for files therein, which is needed for the
rmdir() to succeed. Andrew Dunstan and Tom Lane.
try to display it as a reference to the underlying column instead. This
is a legitimate substitution (it wouldn't be for a named join) and it
fixes some cases where the display would otherwise be ambiguous. Per
example from Sim Zacks.
in all cases when keep_buf = true. This allows ANALYZE's inner loop to
use heap_release_fetch, which saves multiple buffer lookups for the same
page and avoids overestimation of cost by the vacuum cost mechanism.
