to apply the tempname->realname mapping to type name lookup as well
as relation name lookup, else the type tuple will not be found when
wanted. This fixes bugs like this one:
create temp table foo (f1 int);
select foo.f2 from foo;
ERROR: Unable to locate type name 'foo' in catalog
pointers, namely the catcache tuple fetch routines. Also get rid of
the unused and possibly confusing 'size' field in struct cachedesc.
Since it doesn't allow for variable-length fields, anyone who
actually trusted it would likely be making a mistake...
an attribute of a tuple previously fetched with SearchSysCacheTuple.
This avoids a lot of redundant cache lookups, particularly in selfuncs.c.
Also, remove SearchSysCacheStruct, which was unused and grotty.
Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or
'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the
Relation struct layout slightly.
Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
seems that my last post didn't make it through. That's good
since the diff itself didn't covered the renaming of
pg_user.h to pg_shadow.h and it's new content.
Here it's again. The complete regression test passwd with
only some float diffs. createuser and destroyuser work.
pg_shadow cannot be read by ordinary user.
