Neil Conway f5ef59cf9c Delete the `remove-old-headers' target, as it is no longer useful. Patch
from Alvaro Herrera.

Tom Lane 547bb4a7f2 Use a hopefully-more-reliable method of detecting default selectivity
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...

Bruce Momjian 9d95cdcb07 Update workding on why we use is_absolute_path() as a macro. 2004-11-08 16:34:23 +00:00
Tom Lane 336969e490 Add code to find_my_exec() to resolve a symbolic link down to the
actual executable location.  This allows people to continue to use
setups where, eg, postmaster is symlinked from a convenient place.
Per gripe from Josh Berkus.

Tom Lane f245c4eb1a When implementing a coercion to a domain type with a combined
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).

Tom Lane 4867afef7a Code cleanup in path.c and exec.c. Handle Windows drive and network specs
everywhere not just some places, get rid of . and .. when joining path
sections together.  This should eliminate most of the ugly paths like
/foo/bar/./baz that we've been generating.

Tom Lane 98e8b48053 Create 'default_tablespace' GUC variable that supplies a TABLESPACE
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.

Neil Conway f4127feacf Don't create $DESTDIR/include/internal/lib, as it is no longer used. 2004-11-03 07:38:08 +00:00
Tom Lane 5ba04cd9f1 Invent pg_next_dst_boundary() and rewrite DetermineLocalTimeZone() to
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.)

Tom Lane 80559fa9e9 I found a corner case in which it is possible for RI_FKey_check's call
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.

Tom Lane 9e83d73b6c Add a GUC_SUPERUSER_ONLY flag to mark GUC variables that should not be
examinable by non-superusers, and use it to protect the recently-added
GUC variables for data directory and config files.  For now I have only
flagged those variables that could be used to deduce something about
the server's filesystem layout, but possibly we should also mark vars
related to logging settings and other admin-only information?

Tom Lane 9309d5f2ba In ALTER COLUMN TYPE, strip any implicit coercion operations appearing
at the top level of the column's old default expression before adding
an implicit coercion to the new column type.  This seems to satisfy the
principle of least surprise, as per discussion of bug #1290.

Tom Lane fb22b32095 Allow functions returning void or cstring to appear in FROM clause,
to make life cushy for the JDBC driver.  Centralize the decision-making
that affects this by inventing a get_type_func_class() function, rather
than adding special cases in half a dozen places.

Bruce Momjian b3fe6bcafe Remove use of "miscadmin.h" in port C files and remove test for frontend
in miscadmin.h.
2004-10-18 19:08:58 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 0060b3c8eb The attached patch fixes psql's win32 frontend-only build, by using

Tom Lane 830c168e5c Give a more user-friendly error message in situation where CREATE DATABASE
specifies a new default tablespace and the template database already has
some tables in that tablespace.  There isn't any way to solve this fully
without modifying the clone database's pg_class contents, so for now the
best we can do is issue a better error message.

Tom Lane cc6a90e4af Remove dllist.c from libpq. It's overkill for what libpq needs; we can
just stick a list-link into struct PGnotify instead.  Result is a smaller
faster and more robust library (mainly because we reduce the number of
malloc's and free's involved in notify processing), plus less pollution
of application link-symbol namespace.

Tom Lane fdd13f1568 Give the ResourceOwner mechanism full responsibility for releasing buffer
pins at end of transaction, and reduce AtEOXact_Buffers to an Assert
cross-check that this was done correctly.  When not USE_ASSERT_CHECKING,
AtEOXact_Buffers is a complete no-op.  This gets rid of an O(NBuffers)
bottleneck during transaction commit/abort, which recent testing has shown
becomes significant above a few tens of thousands of shared buffers.
2004-10-16 18:57:26 +00:00
Tom Lane 1c2de47746 Remove BufferLocks[] array in favor of a single pointer to the buffer
(if any) currently waited for by LockBufferForCleanup(), which is all
that we were using it for anymore.  Saves some space and eliminates
proportional-to-NBuffers slowdown in UnlockBuffers().
2004-10-16 18:05:07 +00:00
Tom Lane 9ffc8ed58b Repair possible failure to update hint bits back to disk, per
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-10/msg00464.php.
This fix is intended to be permanent: it moves the responsibility for
calling SetBufferCommitInfoNeedsSave() into the tqual.c routines,
eliminating the requirement for callers to test whether t_infomask changed.
Also, tighten validity checking on buffer IDs in bufmgr.c --- several
routines were paranoid about out-of-range shared buffer numbers but not
about out-of-range local ones, which seems a tad pointless.

Tom Lane 26112850ec Fix OR-index-scan planner to recognize that a partial index is usable
for scanning one term of an OR clause if the index's predicate is implied
by that same OR clause term (possibly in conjunction with top-level WHERE
clauses).  Per recent example from Dawid Kuroczko,
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2004-10/msg00095.php
Also, fix a very long-standing bug in index predicate testing, namely the
bizarre ordering of decomposition of predicate and restriction clauses.
AFAICS the correct way is to break down the predicate all the way, and
then for each component term see if you can prove it from the entire
restriction set.  The original coding had a purely-implementation-artifact
distinction between ANDing at the top level and ANDing below that, and
proceeded to get the decomposition order wrong everywhere below the top
level, with the result that even slightly complicated AND/OR predicates
could not be proven.  For instance, given
create index foop on foo(f2) where f1=42 or f1=1
    or (f1 = 11 and f2 = 55);
the old code would fail to match this index to the query
select * from foo where f1 = 11 and f2 = 55;
when it obviously ought to match.

Bruce Momjian c0c4883be3 Use native Cygwin symlinks so tablespaces work on Win95/98/ME which
don't support junction points.  Doesn't affect native Win32.
2004-10-11 22:50:48 +00:00
Tom Lane e5d30091e6 Fix pg_indexes view so that it shows the index's tablespace not the
parent table's tablespace, as per gripe from Michael Kleiser.  Choose
a more plausible column order for this view and pg_tables.  Update
documentation of these views, which was missed in original patch.
2004-10-11 17:24:41 +00:00
Tom Lane 337ffcddba Adjust configuration-files GUC behavior as per my recent proposal.
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and
ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths
during postmaster startup.
This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from
non-superusers.
2004-10-09 23:13:22 +00:00
Tom Lane 7ca3a0f3e2 Whack some sense into the configuration-file-location patch.
Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause
use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in
EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the
documentation minimally usable.
2004-10-08 01:36:36 +00:00
Tom Lane a8487e15ed Fix problems with SQL functions returning rowtypes that have dropped
columns.  The returned tuple needs to have appropriate NULL columns
inserted so that it actually matches the declared rowtype.  It seemed
convenient to use a JunkFilter for this, so I made some cleanups and
simplifications in the JunkFilter code to allow it to support this
additional functionality.  (That in turn exposed a latent bug in
nodeAppend.c, which is that it was returning a tuple slot whose
descriptor didn't match its data.)  Also, move check_sql_fn_retval
out of pg_proc.c and into functions.c, where it seems to more naturally
belong.

Bruce Momjian aa20badeaf Fix improper defines for uid_t and gid_t. Had them backwards. 2004-10-06 17:47:53 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 87ea6f0dbe Use #define instead of typedef for plperl because perl defines
uid_t/gid_t too.
2004-10-06 16:36:02 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 902ca3e225 Here is a patch to fix win32 ssl builds. Summary of changes:
* Links with -leay32 and -lssleay32 instead of crypto and ssl. On win32,
"crypto and ssl" is only used for static linking.

* Initializes SSL in the backend and not just in the postmaster. We
cannot pass the SSL context from the postmaster through the parameter
file, because it contains function pointers.

* Split one error check in be-secure.c. Previously we could not tell
which of three calls actually failed. The previous code also returned
incorrect error messages if SSL_accept() failed - that function needs to
use SSL_get_error() on the return value, can't just use the error queue.

* Since the win32 implementation uses non-blocking sockets "behind the
scenes" in order to deliver signals correctly, implements a version of
SSL_accept() that can handle this. Also, add a wait function in case
SSL_read or SSL_write() needs more data.

Bruce Momjian 513e89b44b please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

Tom Lane 6c61af6654 Remove arithmetic operators on the 1-byte-char datatype, as per proposals
made several times in the past.  Add coercion functions between "char"
and integer so that a workaround is possible if needed.

Initdb forced.

Tom Lane 47aa95e951 Clean up handling of inherited-table update queries, per bug report
from Sebastian Böck.  The fix involves being more consistent about
when rangetable entries are copied or modified.  Someday we really
need to fix this stuff to not scribble on its input data structures
in the first place...

Tom Lane 4c5e810fcd Code review for NOWAIT patch: downgrade NOWAIT from fully reserved keyword
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.
2004-10-01 16:40:05 +00:00
Tom Lane d2af5f8a3e Adjust index locking rules as per my proposal of earlier today. You
now are supposed to take some kind of lock on an index whenever you
are going to access the index contents, rather than relying only on a
lock on the parent table.

Tom Lane f065957062 Come to think of it, functions in FROM have the same syntactic restriction

Neil Conway cb7fc63d3e Remove references to the ODBC driver from the main source tree. From Kris
Jurka.
2004-09-27 04:18:28 +00:00
Neil Conway 64a60590ba A few minor list-related cleanups:
(1) Replace while loop with the new forboth() construct in
parser/analyze.c

(2) Replace lcons() with lappend() in SearchCatCacheList(). Since these
now have the same performance, there is no reason to prefer lcons() in
this case, and using lappend() leads to cleaner code.

(3) Improve the name of the second parameter to for_each_cell()
