repeatedly. Now that we don't have to worry about memory leaks from
glibc's qsort, we can safely put CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the tuplesort
comparators, as was requested a couple months ago. Also, get rid of
non-reentrancy and an extra level of function call in tuplesort.c by
providing a variant qsort_arg() API that passes an extra void * argument
through to the comparison routine. (We might want to use that in other
places too, I didn't look yet.)
postgresql.conf.
- shared_buffers = 32000kB => 32MB
- temp_buffers = 8000kB => 8MB
- wal_buffers = 8 => 64kB
The code of initdb was a bit modified to write MB-unit values.
Values greater than 8000kB are rounded out to MB.
GUC_UNIT_XBLOCKS is added for wal_buffers. It is like GUC_UNIT_BLOCKS,
but uses XLOG_BLCKSZ instead of BLCKSZ.
Also, I cleaned up the test of GUC_UNIT_* flags in preparation to
add more unit flags in less bits.

the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT
NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null. The former coding got
this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it
could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong
for IS NOT NULL. Per report from Teodor.
I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec. This
probably needs more consideration.
return true for exactly the characters treated as whitespace by their flex
scanners. Per report from Victor Snezhko and subsequent investigation.
Also fix a passel of unsafe usages of <ctype.h> functions, that is, ye olde
char-vs-unsigned-char issue. I won't miss <ctype.h> when we are finally
able to stop using it.
even when a single relation requires more than max_fsm_pages pages. Also,
make VACUUM emit a warning in this case, since it likely means that VACUUM
FULL or other drastic corrective measure is needed. Per reports from Jeff
Frost and others of unexpected changes in the claimed max_fsm_pages need.
is a large enough histogram, it will use the number of matches in the
histogram to derive a selectivity estimate, rather than the admittedly
pretty bogus heuristics involving examining the pattern contents. I set
'large enough' at 100, but perhaps we should change that later. Also
apply the same technique in contrib/ltree's <@ and @> estimator. Per
discussion with Stefan Kaltenbrunner and Matteo Beccati.
tables in the query compete for cache space, not just the one we are
currently costing an indexscan for. This seems more realistic, and it
definitely will help in examples recently exhibited by Stefan
Kaltenbrunner. To get the total size of all the tables involved, we must
tweak the handling of 'append relations' a bit --- formerly we looked up
information about the child tables on-the-fly during set_append_rel_pathlist,
but it needs to be done before we start doing any cost estimation, so
push it into the add_base_rels_to_query scan.
contrib functionality. Along the way, remove the USER_LOCKS configuration
symbol, since it no longer makes any sense to try to compile that out.
No user documentation yet ... mmoncure has promised to write some.
Thanks to Abhijit Menon-Sen for creating a first draft to work from.
and create a new view pg_timezone_names that provides information about
the zones known in the 'zic' database. Magnus Hagander, with some
additional work by Tom Lane.
a schema is our own temp schema or another backend's temp schema, and use
these in place of some former kluges in information_schema. Per my
proposal of yesterday.
we probably should make them work reliably for all arrays. Fix code
to handle NULLs and multidimensional arrays, move it into arrayfuncs.c.
GIN is still restricted to indexing arrays with no null elements, however.
agreed these symbols are less easily confused. I made new pg_operator
entries (with new OIDs) for the old names, so as to provide backward
compatibility while making it pretty easy to remove the old names in
some future release cycle. This commit only touches the core datatypes,
contrib will be fixed separately.
than being equivalent to setting log_min_duration_statement to zero, this
option now forces logging of all query durations, but doesn't force logging
of query text. Also, add duration logging coverage for fastpath function
calls.
proposal. Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and
logging overhead is avoided when disabled.
log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example
now looks like
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in
LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 0.394 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 1.251 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
LOG: duration: 0.566 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
LOG: duration: 0.173 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
(This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration
logging purposes, BTW.)
Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands
are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding
was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it
did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all.
This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration
should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.
that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command,
treating the parameter values as constants in the planner. This removes
the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line
parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding,
LIKE optimization, etc. After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.
can create or modify rules for the table. Do setRuleCheckAsUser() while
loading rules into the relcache, rather than when defining a rule. This
ensures that permission checks for tables referenced in a rule are done with
respect to the current owner of the rule's table, whereas formerly ALTER TABLE
OWNER would fail to update the permission checking for associated rules.
Removal of separate RULE privilege is needed to prevent various scenarios
in which a grantee of RULE privilege could effectively have any privilege
of the table owner. For backwards compatibility, GRANT/REVOKE RULE is still
accepted, but it doesn't do anything. Per discussion here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-04/msg01138.php
the target relation(s). There might be some cases where we could discard
the pending event instead, but for the moment a conservative approach
seems sufficient. Per report from Markus Schiltknecht and subsequent
discussion.
PGPROC array into snapshots, and use this information to avoid visits
to pg_subtrans in HeapTupleSatisfiesSnapshot. This appears to solve
the pg_subtrans-related context swap storm problem that's been reported
by several people for 8.1. While at it, modify GetSnapshotData to not
take an exclusive lock on ProcArrayLock, as closer analysis shows that
shared lock is always sufficient.

optionally bind. I re-added the "statement:" label so people will
understand why the line is being printed (it is log_*statement
behavior).
Use single quotes for bind values, instead of double quotes, and double
literal single quotes in bind values (and document that). I also made
use of the DETAIL line to have much cleaner output.
Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING
statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also,
fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement
returning tuples. Per recent discussion.
locks that would conflict with a specified lock request, without
actually trying to get that lock. Use this instead of the former ad hoc
method of doing the first wait step in CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Fixes problem with undetected deadlock and in many cases will allow the
index creation to proceed sooner than it otherwise could've. Per
discussion with Greg Stark.
on the same index page; we can avoid data copying as well as buffer refcount
manipulations in this common case. Makes for a small but noticeable
improvement in mergejoin speed.

of the transaction ID counter. Nothing is done with the epoch except to
store it in checkpoint records, but this provides a foundation with which
add-on code can pretend that XIDs never wrap around. This is a severely
trimmed and rewritten version of the xxid patch submitted by Marko Kreen.
Per discussion, the epoch counter seems the only part of xxid that really
needs to be in the core server.
by abandoning the idea that it should say SERIAL in the dump. Instead,
dump serial sequences and column defaults just like regular ones.
Add a new backend command ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY to let pg_dump recreate
the sequence-to-column dependency that was formerly created "behind the
scenes" by SERIAL. This restores SERIAL to being truly "just a macro"
consisting of component operations that can be stated explicitly in SQL.
Furthermore, the new command allows sequence ownership to be reassigned,
so that old mistakes can be cleaned up.
Also, downgrade the OWNED-BY dependency from INTERNAL to AUTO, since there
is no longer any very compelling argument why the sequence couldn't be
dropped while keeping the column. (This forces initdb, to be sure the
right kinds of dependencies are in there.)
Along the way, add checks to prevent ALTER OWNER or SET SCHEMA on an
owned sequence; you can now only do this indirectly by changing the
owning table's owner or schema. This is an oversight in previous
releases, but probably not worth back-patching.
each object to be deleted, instead of the previous hack that just skipped
INTERNAL dependencies, which didn't really work. Per report from Tom Lane.
To do this, introduce a new performMultipleDeletions entry point in
dependency.c to delete multiple objects at once. The dependency code then has
the responsability of tracking INTERNAL and AUTO dependencies as needed.
Along the way, change ObjectAddresses so that we can allocate an ObjectAddress
list from outside dependency.c and not have to export the internal
representation.
that ps_status provides by appending 'waiting' to the PS display. This
completes the project of making it feasible to turn off process title
updates and instead rely on pg_stat_activity. Per my suggestion a few
weeks ago.
the rel, it's easy to get rid of the narrow race-condition window that
used to exist in VACUUM and CLUSTER. Did some minor code-beautification
work in the same area, too.
