8a069abd18 Fix pg_pwd caching mechanism, which was broken by changes to fork 
postmaster children before client auth step.  Postmaster now rereads
pg_pwd on receipt of SIGHUP, the same way that pg_hba.conf is handled.
No cycles need be expended to validate password cache validity during
connection startup.

This is based on information obtained from Peter Eisentraut and
Tom Lane on pgsql-hackers.

1d3a47af0c Attached patch for unconditional enabling of pltcl-unknown support. 
Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on
first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused.
But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.

Patch includes changes to documentation.

f9e6e27c87 Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and make 
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now.  ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.

2034086ed1 Correct some errors in plpgsql examples, as reported by Junichi Kobayasi. 2001-10-09 04:55:11 +00:00
Tom Lane
0b3bca6c6f Change plpgsql to depend on main parser's type-declaration grammar, 
rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type
declaration looks like.  This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql
will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.

255bd588a7 Hack for Jade vs TeX interpretation of "--" 2001-10-04 22:25:48 +00:00
Tom Lane
03b0a589d1 Consider interpreting a function call as a trivial (binary-compatible) 
type coercion after failing to find an exact match in pg_proc, but before
considering interpretations that involve a function call with one or
more argument type coercions.  This avoids surprises wherein what looks
like a type coercion is interpreted as coercing to some third type and
then to the destination type, as in Dave Blasby's bug report of 3-Oct-01.
See subsequent discussion in pghackers.

f9f258281e Create a GUC parameter max_files_per_process that is a configurable 
upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).  The
default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't
affect the behavior.  But on platforms where the kernel promises far
more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of
file descriptors.  See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers
around 23-Dec-2000.

499abb0c0f Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between 
existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features.  Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks.  All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption.  All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.

(The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make
targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.)

Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging.  Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.

c0d4d5473a Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow; 
Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)

In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.

Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.

Disallow dropping the current user and session user.

Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back.  This could lead to "deadlocks".)

CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

1834987fb6 I've attached the fixed version of the patch below. After the 
discussion on pgsql-hackers (especially the frightening memory dump in
<12273.999562219@sss.pgh.pa.us>), we decided that it is best not to
use identifiers from an untrusted source at all.  Therefore, all
claims of the suitability of PQescapeString() for identifiers have
been removed.

bd9b32803b Here is my much-promised patch to let people add UNIQUE constraints after 
table creation time.  Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the
next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time.  (Which
is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs)

Rundown
-------

* I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and
exported it in analyze.h

* I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support
makingObjectNames and creating indices

* I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and
says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and
reporting nothing!!!

* I have modified the docs.

Algorithm
---------

* If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name.  I'm
not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open
the relation before doing this step?

* Open relation in access exclusive mode

* Check that the constraint does not already exist

* Define the new index

* Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index
