refactor the relcache code that used to do that. This allows other callers
(particularly autovacuum) to do the same without necessarily having to open
and lock a table.
pages were marked as clean as well. The idea is to avoid defeating OS
readahead by skipping a page here and there, and also makes it less likely
that we miss an opportunity to advance relfrozenxid, for the sake of only
a few skipped pages.
case that the command is rewritten into another type of command. The old
behavior to return the command tag of the last executed command was
pretty surprising. In PL/pgSQL, for example, it meant that if a command
was rewritten to a utility statement, FOUND wasn't set at all.
Also, if linked against other versions than the default MSVCRT library
(for example the MSVC build which links against MSVCRT80), also update
the cache in the default MSVCRT at the same time.
This should fix the issues with setting LC_MESSAGES on the MSVC build.
Original patch from Hiroshi Inoue and Hiroshi Saito, much rewritten
by me.
be used instead of the normal exclusive lock, and make WAL redo functions
responsible for calling RestoreBkpBlocks(). They know better what kind of a
lock they need.
At the moment, this just moves things around with no functional change, but
makes the hot standby patch that's under review cleaner.
CREATE/ALTER/DROP USER MAPPING are now allowed either by the server owner or
by a user with USAGE privileges for his own user name. This is more or less
what the SQL standard wants anyway (plus "implementation-defined")
Hide information_schema.user_mapping_options.option_value, unless the current
user is the one associated with the user mapping, or is the server owner and
the mapping is for PUBLIC, or is a superuser. This is to protect passwords.
Also, fix a bug in information_schema._pg_foreign_servers, which hid servers
using wrappers where the current user did not have privileges on the wrapper.
The correct behavior is to hide servers where the current user has no
privileges on the server.
fillRelOptions routine that stores the parsed values in the struct using a
table-based approach. Per Tom suggestion. Also remove the "continue"
in HANDLE_*_RELOPTION macros, which were useless and in spirit they were
assuming too much of how the macros were going to be used. (Note that these
macros are now unused, but the intention is to introduce some usage in a
future autovacuum patch, which is why they weren't completely removed.)
Also, do not call the string validation routine when not validating. It seems
less error-prone this way, per commentary on the amoptions SGML docs.
the same page we are nanoseconds away from reading for real. There should be
something left to do on the current page before we consider issuing a prefetch.
business with inheritance recursion: ALTER INDEX, ALTER SEQUENCE, ALTER
TRIGGER, ALTER VIEW. They would just silently ignore the ONLY.
ALTER TABLE has mixed behavior and cannot be dealt with this way because
of the resulting shift/reduce conflicts.
GUC variable effective_io_concurrency controls how many concurrent block
prefetch requests will be issued.
(The best way to handle this for plain index scans is still under debate,
so that part is not applied yet --- tgl)

we can get some buildfarm feedback about whether that function is still
problematic. (Note that the planned async-preread patch will not really
prove anything one way or the other in buildfarm testing, since it will
be inactive with default GUC settings.)
bitmap. This is extracted from Greg Stark's posix_fadvise patch; it seems
worth committing separately, since it's potentially useful independently of
posix_fadvise.
that are set up for execution with ExecPrepareExpr rather than going through
the full planner process. By introducing an explicit notion of "expression
planning", this patch also lays a bit of groundwork for maybe someday
allowing sub-selects in standalone expressions.
the default. This setting enables constraint exclusion checks only for
appendrel members (ie, inheritance children and UNION ALL arms), which are
the cases in which constraint exclusion is most likely to be useful. Avoiding
the overhead for simple queries that are unlikely to benefit should bring
the cost down to the point where this is a reasonable default setting.
Per today's discussion.
OutputFunctionCall, and friends. This allows SPI-using functions to invoke
datatype I/O without concern for the possibility that a SPI-using function
will be called (which could be either the I/O function itself, or a function
used in a domain check constraint). It's a tad ugly, but not nearly as ugly
as what'd be needed to make this work via retail insertion of push/pop
operations in all the PLs.
This reverts my patch of 2007-01-30 that inserted some retail SPI_push/pop
calls into plpgsql; that approach only fixed plpgsql, and not any other PLs.
But the other PLs have the issue too, as illustrated by a recent gripe from
Christian Schröder.
Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as this solution will work. It's
also as far back as we need to worry about the domain-constraint case, since
earlier versions did not attempt to check domain constraints within datatype
input. I'm not aware of any old I/O functions that use SPI themselves, so
this should be sufficient for a back-patch.
not include postgres.h nor anything else it doesn't directly need. Add
#includes to calling files as needed to compensate. Per my proposal of
yesterday.
This should be noted as a source code change in the 8.4 release notes,
since it's likely to require changes in add-on modules.
to pass the full username@realm string to the authentication instead of
just the username. This makes it possible to use pg_ident.conf to authenticate
users from multiple realms as different database users.
consistent. Currently, in csvlog, vxid of an auxiliary process isn't
displayed. On the other hand, in stderr/syslog, invalid vxid (-1/0) of
that is displayed.

particular this allows EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders messages to show up in the
postmaster log by default. Update elog.h comment to make it clearer what INFO
is for, and fix one example in the SGML docs that was misusing it. Per my
gripe of yesterday.
If the table was smaller than REL_TRUNCATE_FRACTION (= 16) pages, we always
tried to acquire AccessExclusiveLock on it even if there was no empty pages
at the end.
