collector until the transaction commits. Per recent discussion, this
should avoid confusing autovacuum when an updating transaction runs for
a long time.
for the languages even when not installed in a standard directory.
pltcl may need this treatment as well, but we don't have the right path
conveniently available, so I'll leave it alone as long as there aren't
actual reports of trouble.
in terms of macro 'rpathdir', as I proposed a few weeks ago. In itself
this commit shouldn't change the behavior at all, but it opens the door
to using special rpaths for the PL shared libraries, as seems to be
needed for plperl in particular.
may expand the Perl stack, therefore we must SPAGAIN to reload the local
stack pointer after calling it. Also a couple other marginal readability
improvements.
this is to avoid scenarios where incoming backends find no live copies
of a database's row because the only live copy is in an as-yet-unwritten
shared buffer, which they can't see. Also, use FlushRelationBuffers()
for forcing out pg_database, instead of the much more expensive BufferSync().
There's no need to write out pages belonging to other relations.
some of the bugs exposed thereby. The remaining 'might be used uninitialized'
warnings look like live bugs, but I am not familiar enough with Perl/C hacking
to tell how to fix them.
Rather than using ReadBuffer() to increment the reference count on an
already-pinned buffer, we should use IncrBufferRefCount() as it is
faster and does not require acquiring the BufMgrLock.
even uglier than it was already :-(. Also, on Windows only, use temporary
shared memory segments instead of ordinary files to pass over critical
variable values from postmaster to child processes. Magnus Hagander
more than 65K columns, or when the created table has more than 65K columns
due to adding inherited columns from parent relations. Fix a similar
crash when processing SELECT queries with more than 65K target list
entries. In all three cases we would eventually detect the error and
elog, but the check was being made too late.
We don't really want to start a new SPI connection, just keep using the old
one; otherwise we have memory management problems as illustrated by
John Kennedy's bug report of today. This requires a bit of a hack to
ensure the SPI stack state is properly restored, but then again what we
were doing before was a hack too, strictly speaking. Add a regression
test to cover this case.
plain SUSET instead. Also delay processing of options received in
client connection request until after we know if the user is a superuser,
so that SUSET values can be set that way by legitimate superusers.
Per recent discussion.
buffer is valid, as ReadBuffer() will elog on error. Most of the call
sites of ReadBuffer() got this right, but this patch fixes those call
sites that did not.
