Tom Lane c715fdea26 Significant cleanups in SysV IPC handling (shared mem and semaphores).
IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c.  TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.

Tom Lane bbea3643a3 Store current LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings in pg_control during initdb;
re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup.
This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to
provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times.  Also,
refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally
initdb'd with a non-C locale.  Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale
is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?).
Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.

Bruce Momjian 3f1998727d here is a patch for formatting.c (to_char/timestampt()), for 7.1
it fixing Y,YY,YYY,YYYY conversion, the docs and regress tests update
 are included too.

  During the patch testing I found small bug in miscadmin.h in
convertstr() declaration. Here it's fixed too.

 Thanks

Merge related reference pages.
2000-11-24 20:16:40 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut b2e76d570b Revive Reference Manual, remove reference pages from User's Guide.
Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation.  Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.

filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files).  No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.

There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources.  Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.

Tom Lane 5bb2300b59 Revise handling of oldstyle/newstyle functions per recent discussions
in pghackers list.  Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention.  pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'.  A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine.  See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.

Tom Lane 6ba959eee0 AIX patches from Andreas. 2000-11-18 05:40:03 +00:00
Tom Lane a933ee38bb Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count is
maintained for each cache entry.  A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed.  This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use.  See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.

Bruce Momjian 5a0152b3fd I think in datatype.sgml line 506 or so:
<entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

should be
   <entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+n) bytes</entry>

or
   <entry>varchar(x)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

Tom Lane 2cf48ca04b Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to be
cloned, rather than always cloning template1.  Modify initdb to generate
two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.
Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain
in its virgin as-initdb'd state.  pg_dumpall now dumps databases with
restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.
This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
initdb forced!

Bruce Momjian d63a762f79 Ok, You guys are probably tired of me, BUT, here is another one, that
adds the facility to set the program name used in syslog.
(this includes the other ones).

One gotcha, the parser doesn't like special characters in strings.
For example, i tried to use pg-test, and if failed the parse coming
from the postgresql.conf file.

I don't think it's a showstopper..

Bruce Momjian 2150c2edf1 UUNET is looking into offering PostgreSQL as a part of a managed web
hosting product, on both shared and dedicated machines.  We currently
offer Oracle and MySQL, and it would be a nice middle-ground.
However, as shipped, PostgreSQL lacks the following features we need
that MySQL has:

1. The ability to listen only on a particular IP address.  Each
   hosting customer has their own IP address, on which all of their
   servers (http, ftp, real media, etc.) run.
2. The ability to place the Unix-domain socket in a mode 700 directory.
   This allows us to automatically create an empty database, with an
   empty DBA password, for new or upgrading customers without having
   to interactively set a DBA password and communicate it to (or from)
   the customer.  This in turn cuts down our install and upgrade times.
3. The ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket from within a
   change-rooted environment.  We run CGI programs chrooted to the
   user's home directory, which is another reason why we need to be
   able to specify where the Unix-domain socket is, instead of /tmp.
4. The ability to, if run as root, open a pid file in /var/run as
   root, and then setuid to the desired user.  (mysqld -u can almost
   do this; I had to patch it, too).

The patch below fixes problem 1-3.  I plan to address #4, also, but
haven't done so yet.  These diffs are big enough that they should give
the PG development team something to think about in the meantime :-)
Also, I'm about to leave for 2 weeks' vacation, so I thought I'd get
out what I have, which works (for the problems it tackles), now.

With these changes, we can set up and run PostgreSQL with scripts the
same way we can with apache or proftpd or mysql.

In summary, this patch makes the following enhancements:

1. Adds an environment variable PGUNIXSOCKET, analogous to MYSQL_UNIX_PORT,
   and command line options -k --unix-socket to the relevant programs.
2. Adds a -h option to postmaster to set the hostname or IP address to
   listen on instead of the default INADDR_ANY.
3. Extends some library interfaces to support the above.
4. Fixes a few memory leaks in PQconnectdb().

The default behavior is unchanged from stock 7.0.2; if you don't use
any of these new features, they don't change the operation.

Tom Lane 4f44aa04b5 Major overhaul of large-object implementation, by Denis Perchine with
kibitzing from Tom Lane.  Large objects are now all stored in a single
system relation "pg_largeobject" --- no more xinv or xinx files, no more
relkind 'l'.  This should offer substantial performance improvement for
large numbers of LOs, since there won't be directory bloat anymore.
It'll also fix problems like running out of locktable space when you
access thousands of LOs in one transaction.
Also clean up cruft in read/write routines.  LOs with "holes" in them
(never-written byte ranges) now work just like Unix files with holes do:
a hole reads as zeroes but doesn't occupy storage space.
INITDB forced!

Tom Lane 9ace03183c Some small polishing of Mark Hollomon's cleanup of DROP command: might
as well allow DROP multiple INDEX, RULE, TYPE as well.  Add missing
CommandCounterIncrement to DROP loop, which could cause trouble otherwise
with multiple DROP of items affecting same catalog entries.  Try to
bring a little consistency to various error messages using 'does not exist',
'nonexistent', etc --- I standardized on 'does not exist' since that's
what the vast majority of the existing uses seem to be.

This patch forces the use of 'DROP VIEW' to destroy views.

It also changes the syntax of DROP VIEW to
DROP VIEW v1, v2, ...
to match the syntax of DROP TABLE.

Some error messages were changed so this patch also includes changes to the
appropriate expected/*.out files.

Doc changes for 'DROP TABLE" and 'DROP VIEW' are included.

Bruce Momjian 06dc338ee9 Here is a patch against the same cvs tree as the SSL patch (Aug 20).
I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly
look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-)

This patch updates:
* Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl)
* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
  PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"

If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

Bruce Momjian ebdfac3bb1 the patch include:

        - add docs for oracle compatible routines:

                ascii()
                chr()
                repeat()

        - fix bug with timezone in to_char()

        - all to_char() variants return NULL instead textin("")
          if it's needful.

 The contrib/odbc is without changes and contains same routines as main

This effectively one line patch should fix the fact that
foreign key definitions in create table were erroring if
a primary key was defined.  I was using the columns
list to get the columns of the table for comparison, but
it got reused as a temporary list inside the primary key
stuff.

Peter Eisentraut 335248c9b7 Support for DESTDIR make variable. This is used as in `make install
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.

DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because

a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.

(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

Bruce Momjian dffd8cac3d * to_char:
- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
    (the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).

  Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
  function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
  timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
  date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
  too. Right?

  IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
  for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.

 * to_ascii:

   - gcc, is it correct now? :-)


  In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().

Bruce Momjian c51041f4ba Here is a patch against the same cvs tree as the SSL patch (Aug 20).
I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly
look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-)

This patch updates:
* Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl)
* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
  PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"

If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

Tom Lane d0ca92cb53 Correct erroneous explanation of DEADLOCK_TIMEOUT configuration setting. 2000-07-17 22:32:44 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 44eaafe3f8 End users shouldn't have to invoke a separate command to install the
documentation. Therefore it's now installed by default. If there is no
documentation to be found (i.e., you are not using the distribution)
then this step is skipped.

Add --docdir option to configure to control installation directory.

Tom Lane d06ebdb8d3 Update aggregate-function docs for STDDEV, VARIANCE. 2000-07-17 03:52:28 +00:00
Tom Lane bec98a31c5 Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner.  Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.

Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default.  Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...

Peter Eisentraut 74618e2b82 Another round of those unportable config/build changes :-/
* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
  bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
  useful is left as an exercise.

* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
  all the other libraries are checked for.

* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.

* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
  Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
  anymore.

* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.

* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.

* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
  separately.

* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.

* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
  don't add it on in Makefile.global.

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

... and in completely unrelated news:

* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
  save the environment as well.

Peter Eisentraut a164213219 New and revised material for Admin guide, re backup & restore and database
management
2000-06-30 16:14:21 +00:00
Tom Lane 1aebc3618a First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/README
for details).  It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no
short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is
in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably.  A few long-
standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single
query string crashing.  Also, out-of-memory is now considered a
recoverable ERROR, not FATAL.
Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around
memory management.
Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and
backend startup.

Bruce Momjian 3fb8c9d1f9 Update FAQ. 2000-06-24 01:51:14 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut c446509565 Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on some
option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering
here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this.
Removed permissions check on SHOW command.

Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the
official data model better. Adjust documentation.

Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To
facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself,
don't wait for the magic -p switch.

Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive
init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary.

Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode
0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.
