> * Remove unused files during database vacuum or postmaster startup
2000-12-23 14:48:57 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut de3379503a Remove unused file (the information is already contained elsewhere). 2000-12-23 11:10:55 +00:00
Tom Lane a412749812 Replace overly-cute coding with code that (a) has defined behavior
according to the ANSI C spec, (b) gets the boundary conditions right,
and (c) is about a third as long and three times more intelligible.

Tom Lane 90f42847b5 Small cleanup of temp-table handling. Disallow creation of a non-temp
table that inherits from a temp table.  Make sure the right things happen
if one creates a temp table, creates another temp that inherits from it,
then renames the first one.  (Previously, system would end up trying to
delete the temp tables in the wrong order.)

Peter Eisentraut 7558da669f Make use of <email> tag for marking up email addresses. 2000-12-22 21:51:58 +00:00
Tom Lane 0db1a951d5 Repair not-too-well-thought-out code to do rangechecking of OIDs on
64-bit machines.  Also, make oidvectorin use the same code as oidin.

Vadim B. Mikheev 369aace5f3 Avoid XLogFlush for clean buffers in BufferSync. 2000-12-22 20:04:43 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 387d43113c Avoid using the terms 'installation', 'site', or 'instance' when referring
to the thing you get from running initdb.  That's called a database cluster
(per SQL).

Tom Lane 046848c272 Improve error message for case where DROP TABLE is rejected because
table has a child table.

Peter Eisentraut 1b555ce791 Replace incorrect uses of 'which' with 'that'. (so-called "wicked which") 2000-12-22 18:57:50 +00:00
Tom Lane 04b31609b6 Add 'ONLY' to queries generated by RI triggers, so as to preserve pre-7.1
semantics of RI operations.  Eventually we ought to look at making RI
work properly across inheritance trees, but not for 7.1 ...

Tom Lane f4eef66741 Fix broken markup. 2000-12-22 18:06:46 +00:00
Tom Lane 61784c54b5 Change default output formatting for CIDR to be unabbreviated, per
recommendation from Paul Vixie.  Add a new abbrev() function to produce
abbreviated format as text.  No forced initdb, but new function is not
available unless you do an initdb or add the pg_proc row manually.

Michael Meskes 13b78a2400 - Fixed bug in a connect statement using varchars.

Tatsuo Ishii 1deb6e7d41 Fix PQsetdbLogin() backward compatibility problem.
If pghost == "" and pgport == "" then PQsetdbLogin() fails with a
error message:

 Is the postmaster running locally
        and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0'?

I see many applications such as PHP fails due to this behavior.
Now if pgport == "", then it is assumed to be a DEF_PGPORT_STR. This
is the same behavior as the version prior 7.1.

Tom Lane 317215fc55 Clean up CREATE TYPE/OPERATOR/AGGREGATE productions, so that parser
will not accept types named with operator names or vice versa.

Bruce Momjian 4ce226eeb7 In looking at the 7.1beta1 code for JDBC, I noticed that support was
added to support character set encodings.  However I noticed that the
encoding that is used isn't obtained from the DB.  Since Java uses
unicode UCS2 internally the character set encoding is used to translate
strings from/to the DB encoding.  So it seems logical that the code
would get the encoding from the DB instead of the current method of
requiring the user pass it as a parameter.

Attached is a patch that gets the DB encoding from the DB in the same
manner as is done in libpq/fe-connect.c.  The patch is created off of
the latest CVS sources (Connection.java version 1.10).

Tom Lane 6cc842abd3 Revise lock manager to support "session level" locks as well as "transaction
level" locks.  A session lock is not released at transaction commit (but it
is released on transaction abort, to ensure recovery after an elog(ERROR)).
In VACUUM, use a session lock to protect the master table while vacuuming a
TOAST table, so that the TOAST table can be done in an independent
transaction.

I also took this opportunity to do some cleanup and renaming in the lock
code.  The previously noted bug in ProcLockWakeup, that it couldn't wake up
any waiters beyond the first non-wakeable waiter, is now fixed.  Also found
a previously unknown bug of the same kind (failure to scan all members of
a lock queue in some cases) in DeadLockCheck.  This might have led to failure
to detect a deadlock condition, resulting in indefinite waits, but it's
difficult to characterize the conditions required to trigger a failure.

Peter Eisentraut b2145e9365 Get rid of the little "v"s in front of version numbers, substituting the
full word "version" where appropriate.

Peter Eisentraut d7b161031d Repair round(numeric) function. An initdb would be required to get the
fixed version, otherwise you'll continue to encounter breakage.

Thank you; this works.

Tom Lane 0e952cdb90 Fix longstanding bug with VIEW using BETWEEN: OffsetVarNodes would get
applied to the duplicated subtree twice.  Probably someday we should
fix the parser not to generate multiple links to the same subtree,
but for now a quick copyObject() is the path of least resistance.

Tom Lane 39b547f430 Prevent freshly-started backend from ignoring SIGUSR1, per race condition
observed by Inoue.  Also, don't call ProcRemove() from postmaster if we
have detected a backend crash --- too risky if shared memory is corrupted.
It's not needed anyway, considering we are going to reinitialize shared
memory and semaphores as soon as the last child is dead.

Tom Lane 5491233f52 Ensure that 'errno' is saved and restored by all signal handlers that
might change it.  Experimentation shows that the signal handler call
mechanism does not save/restore errno for you, at least not on Linux
or HPUX, so this is definitely a real risk.
