materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation.
This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan
says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting
noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c
is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname'
plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans,
and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.

discussion of 5/19/00). pg_index is now searched for indexes of a
relation using an indexscan. Moreover, this is done once and cached
in the relcache entry for the relation, in the form of a list of OIDs
for the indexes. This list is used by the parser and executor to drive
lookups in the pg_index syscache when they want to know the properties
of the indexes. Net result: index information will be fully cached
for repetitive operations such as inserts.

quote-stripping, and acl-checking tasks for these functions from the

the failure of pg_dump to produce correct output for nextval(Foo)

more restriction for fretful users. The current PG allow define only
NO-CREATE-DB and NO-CREATE-USER restriction, but for some users I need
NO-CREATE-TABLE and NO-LOCK-TABLE.
This patch add to current code NOCREATETABLE and NOLOCKTABLE feature:
CREATE USER username
[ WITH
[ SYSID uid ]
[ PASSWORD 'password' ] ]
[ CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB ] [ CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER ]
-> [ CREATETABLE | NOCREATETABLE ] [ LOCKTABLE | NOLOCKTABLE ]
...etc.
If CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE is not specific in CREATE USER command,
as default is set CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE (true).
A user with NOCREATETABLE restriction can't call CREATE TABLE or
SELECT INTO commands, only create temp table is allow for him.

it will close VFDs if necessary to surmount ENFILE or EMFILE failures.
Make use of this in md.c, xlog.c, and user.c routines that were
formerly vulnerable to these failures. In particular, this should
handle failures of mdblindwrt() that have been observed under heavy

crash after Postgres eats up all the kernel FDs, but Postgres will
keep going!)
That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration,

the oper field should be a valid Node structure so it can be dumped by

raw unanalyzed parsetrees are never stored.
project I am working on (Recall - a distributed, fault-tolerant,
replicated, storage framework @ http://www.fault-tolerant.org).
Recall is written in C++. I need to include the postgres headers and
there are some problems when including the headers w/C++.
Attached is a patch generated from postgres/src that fixes my problems.
I was hoping to get this into the main source. It's very small (2k) and
3 files are changed: backend/utils/fmgr/fmgr.c,
backend/utils/Gen_fmgrtab.sh.in, and include/access/tupdesc.h.
In C++, you get a multiply defined symbol because the variable
(FmgrInfo *fmgr_pl_finfo) is defined in the header (the patch moves it
to the .c file). The other problem in tupdesc.h is the use of typeid
is a problem in c++ (I renamed it to oidtypeid).

Hiroshi. ReleaseRelationBuffers now removes rel's buffers from pool,
instead of merely marking them nondirty. The old code would leave valid
buffers for a deleted relation, which didn't cause any known problems
but can't possibly be a good idea. There were several places which called
ReleaseRelationBuffers *and* FlushRelationBuffers, which is now
unnecessary; but there were others that did not. FlushRelationBuffers
no longer emits a warning notice if it finds dirty buffers to flush,
because with the current bufmgr behavior that's not an unexpected
condition. Also, FlushRelationBuffers will flush out all dirty buffers
for the relation regardless of block number. This ensures that
pg_upgrade's expectations are met about tuple on-row status bits being
up-to-date on disk. Lastly, tweak BufTableDelete() to clear the
buffer's tag so that no one can mistake it for being a still-valid
buffer for the page it once held. Formerly, the buffer would not be
found by buffer hashtable searches after BufTableDelete(), but it would
still be thought to belong to its old relation by the routines that
sequentially scan the shared-buffer array. Again I know of no bugs
caused by that, but it still can't be a good idea.

would crash, due to premature invocation of SetQuerySnapshot(). Clean
up problems with handling of multiple queries by splitting
pg_parse_and_plan into two routines. The old code would not, for
example, do the right thing with END; SELECT... submitted in one query
string when it had been in transaction abort state, because it'd decide
to skip planning the SELECT before it had executed the END. New
arrangement is simpler and doesn't force caller to plan if only
parse+rewrite is needed.
WHERE in a place where it can be part of a nestloop inner indexqual.
As the code stood, it put the same physical sub-Plan node into both
indxqual and indxqualorig of the IndexScan plan node. That confused
later processing in the optimizer (which expected that tracing the
subPlan list would visit each subplan node exactly once), and would
probably have blown up in the executor if the planner hadn't choked first.
Fix by making the 'fixed' indexqual be a complete deep copy of the
original indexqual, rather than trying to share nodes below the topmost
operator node. This had further ramifications though, because we were
making the aforesaid list of sub-Plan nodes during SS_process_sublinks
which is run before construction of the 'fixed' indexqual, meaning that
the copy of the sub-Plan didn't show up in that list. Fix by rearranging
logic so that the sub-Plan list is built by the final set_plan_references
pass, not in SS_process_sublinks. This may sound like a mess, but it's
actually a good deal cleaner now than it was before, because we are no
longer dependent on the assumption that planning will never make a copy
of a sub-Plan node.
In the event of an elog() while the mode was set to immediate write,
there was no way for it to be set back to the normal delayed write.
The mechanism was a waste of space and cycles anyway, since the only user
was varsup.c, which could perfectly well call FlushBuffer directly.
Now it does just that, and the notion of a write mode is gone.
Clean up grotty coding in them, too. AFAICS from the CVS logs, these

costs using the inner path's parent->rows count as the number of tuples
processed per inner scan iteration. This is wrong when we are using an
inner indexscan with indexquals based on join clauses, because the rows
count in a Relation node reflects the selectivity of the restriction
clauses for that rel only. Upshot was that if join clause was very
selective, we'd drastically overestimate the true cost of the join.
Fix is to calculate correct output-rows estimate for an inner indexscan
when the IndexPath node is created and save it in the path node.
Change of path node doesn't require initdb, since path nodes don't
appear in saved rules.

is done in a separate routine subquery_planner() that calls union_planner().
We formerly did most of this work in query_planner(), but that's the
wrong place because it may never see the real targetlist. Splitting
union_planner into two routines also allows us to avoid redundant work
when union_planner is invoked recursively for UNION and inheritance
cases. Upshot is that it is now possible to do something like

the 7.0 release is cut.

the function is coercing to. This allows correct deduction of the

Formerly we labeled v's column as char-of-unknown-length not char(8).
Also, this change causes the parser not to insert a redundant length

as a unary minus operator for numeric. Now that long numeric constants
will get converted to NUMERIC in early parsing, it's essential to have
numeric->int8 conversion to avoid 'can't convert' errors on undecorated
int8 constants. Threw in the rest for completeness while I was in the
area.
I did not force an initdb for this, since the system will still run
without the new pg_proc/pg_operator entries. Possibly I should've.

whether the latter two are actually a bug in postgres or a bug in the
OS or even allowed difference. I'm including my results for reference.

represent the result of a binary-compatible type coercion. At runtime
it just evaluates its argument --- but during type resolution, exprType
will pick up the output type of the RelabelType node instead of the type
of the argument. This solves some longstanding problems with dropped
type coercions, an example being 'select now()::abstime::int4' which
used to produce date-formatted output, not an integer, because the
coercion to int4 was dropped on the floor.

contrib-string.patch
a small change to the c-like text output functions. Now the '{'
is escaped only at the beginning of the string to distinguish it
from arrays, and the '}' is no more escaped.
elog-lineno.patch
adds the current lineno of CopyFrom to elog messages. This is very
useful when you load a 1 million tuples table from an external file
and there is a bad value somehere. Currently you get an error message
but you can't know where is the bad data. The patch uses a variable
which was declared static in copy.c. The variable is now exported
and initialized to 0. It is always cleared at the end of the copy
or at the first elog message or when the copy is canceled.
I know this is very ugly but I can't find any better way of knowing
where the copy fails and I have this problem quite often.
plperl-makefile.patch
fixes a typo in a makefile, but the error must be elsewhere because
it is a file generated automatically. Please have a look.
tprintf-timestamp.patch
restores the original 2-digit year format, assuming that the two
century digits don't carry much information and that '000202' is
easier to read than 20000202. Being only a log file it shouldn't
break anything.
Please apply the patches before the next scheduled code freeze.

ask people to fix their code or rename their makefiles so that they are

fields in JoinPaths --- turns out that we do need that after all :-(.
Also, rearrange planner so that only one RelOptInfo is created for a
particular set of joined base relations, no matter how many different
subsets of relations it can be created from. This saves memory and
processing time compared to the old method of making a bunch of RelOptInfos
and then removing the duplicates. Clean up the jointree iteration logic;
not sure if it's better, but I sure find it more readable and plausible
now, particularly for the case of 'bushy plans'.

syscache and relcache flushes). Relcache entry rebuild now preserves
original tupledesc, rewrite rules, and triggers if possible, so that pointers
to these things remain valid --- if these things change while relcache entry
has positive refcount, we elog(ERROR) to avoid later crash. Arrange for
xact-local rels to be rebuilt when an SI inval message is seen for them,
so that they are updated by CommandCounterIncrement the same as regular rels.
(This is useful because of Hiroshi's recent changes to process our own SI
messages at CommandCounterIncrement time.) This allows simplification of
some routines that previously hacked around the lack of an automatic update.
catcache now keeps its own copy of tupledesc for its relation, rather than
depending on the relcache's copy; this avoids needing to reinitialize catcache
during a cache flush, which saves some cycles and eliminates nasty circularity
problems that occur if a cache flush happens while trying to initialize a
catcache.
Eliminate a number of permanent memory leaks that used to happen during
catcache or relcache flush; not least of which was that catcache never
freed any cached tuples! (Rule parsetree storage is still leaked, however;
will fix that separately.)
