172eacba43 Assorted improvements in contrib/hstore.
Remove the 64K limit on the lengths of keys and values within an hstore.
(This changes the on-disk format, but the old format can still be read.)
Add support for btree/hash opclasses for hstore --- this is not so much
for actual indexing purposes as to allow use of GROUP BY, DISTINCT, etc.
Add various other new functions and operators.

d6119d8091 plug dblink resource leak
dblink generates orphaned connections when called with a connection string,
fail_on_error = true, and an ERROR occurs. Discovery and patch by
Tatsuhito Kasahara. Introduced in 8.4.

f82d4d5302 pgbench has #defines for number of branches, tellers, and accounts. There
are used to populate the tables with -i, but when running actual benchmark
it has values separately hard-coded in the query metacommands.  This patch
makes the metacommands obtain their values from the relevant #defines.

Patch provided by Jeff Janes.

234c7ce9f2 Derived files that are shipped in the distribution used to be built in the
source directory even for out-of-tree builds.  They are now alsl built in
the build tree.  This should be more convenient for certain developers'
workflows, and shouldn't really break anything else.

8f5500e6bd Make it reasonably safe to use pg_ctl to start the postmaster from a boot-time
script.

To do this, have pg_ctl pass down its parent shell's PID in an environment
variable PG_GRANDPARENT_PID, and teach CreateLockFile() to disregard that PID
as a false match if it finds it in postmaster.pid.  This allows us to cope
with one level of postgres-owned shell process even with pg_ctl in the way,
so it's just as safe as starting the postmaster directly.  You still have to
be careful about how you write the initscript though.

Adjust the comments in contrib/start-scripts/ to not deprecate use of
pg_ctl.  Also, fix the ROTATELOGS option in the OSX script, which was
indulging in exactly the sort of unsafe coding that renders this fix
pointless :-(.  A pipe inside the "sudo" will probably result in more
than one postgres-owned process hanging around.

7798147a76 Expand test coverage support to entire tree
Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend.  In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.

This turned out to be much easier than feared.  Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS.  MSVC build fix was attempted as well.

7ffb14f9db Portability and documentation fixes for threaded pgbench patch. 2009-08-03 18:30:55 +00:00
Tatsuo Ishii
3da0dfb4b1 Multi-threaded version of pgbench contributed by ITAGAKI Takahiro,
reviewed by Greg Smith and Josh Williams.

Following is the proposal from ITAGAKI Takahiro:

Pgbench is a famous tool to measure postgres performance, but nowadays
it does not work well because it cannot use multiple CPUs. On the other
hand, postgres server can use CPUs very well, so the bottle-neck of
workload is *in pgbench*.

Multi-threading would be a solution. The attached patch adds -j
(number of jobs) option to pgbench. If the value N is greater than 1,
pgbench runs with N threads. Connections are equally-divided into
them (ex. -c64 -j4 => 4 threads with 16 connections each). It can
run on POSIX platforms with pthread and on Windows with win32 threads.

Here are results of multi-threaded pgbench runs on Fedora 11 with intel
core i7 (8 logical cores = 4 physical cores * HT). -j8 (8 threads) was
the best and the tps is 4.5 times of -j1, that is a traditional result.

$ pgbench -i -s10
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j1   =>  tps = 11600.158593
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j2   =>  tps = 17947.100954
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j4   =>  tps = 26571.124001
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j8   =>  tps = 52725.470403
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j16  =>  tps = 38976.675319
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j32  =>  tps = 28998.499601
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j64  =>  tps = 26701.877815

Is it acceptable to use pthread in contrib module?
If ok, I will add the patch to the next commitfest.

d4382c4ae7 Extend EXPLAIN to allow generic options to be specified.
The original syntax made it difficult to add options without making them
into reserved words.  This change parenthesizes the options to avoid that
problem, and makes provision for an explicit (and perhaps non-Boolean)
value for each option.  The original syntax is still supported, but only
for the two original options ANALYZE and VERBOSE.

As a test case, add a COSTS option that can suppress the planner cost
estimates.  This may be useful for including EXPLAIN output in the regression
tests, which are otherwise unable to cope with cross-platform variations in
cost estimates.

e7370babd1 Fix xslt_process() to ensure that it inserts a NULL terminator after the
last pair of parameter name/value strings, even when there are MAXPARAMS
of them.  Aboriginal bug in contrib/xml2, noted while studying bug #4912
(though I'm not sure whether there's something else involved in that
report).

This might be thought a security issue, since it's a potential backend
crash; but considering that untrustworthy users shouldn't be allowed
to get their hands on xslt_process() anyway, it's probably not worth
getting excited about.

8fd733bd19 Disable pg_standby -l option because the backend doesn't expect the recovered
file to be a symlink. We tried to fix this issue with an earlier server-side
patch, but it didn't fix the whole issue.

The same bug is present in older releases as well, but the 8.4 train is
about to leave the station, and I'm not sure if have consensus on whether
we can remove the -l option in back-branches or do we need to attempt a
server-side fix to make symlinking safe.

f3e122fcdf Restore dblink_current_query() to being a C-language function, so as to not
create an ABI break between 8.3 and 8.4.  It is still just a wrapper around
the built-in current_query() function, but at a different implementation
level.  Per my proposal.

Note: this change doesn't break 8.4beta installations, since their
SQL-language definition of the function still works fine.

a1fd650d2b Fix contrib/pageinspect to not create an ABI breakage between 8.3 and 8.4.
The original implementation of the 3-argument form of get_raw_page() risked
core dumps if the 8.3 SQL function definition was mistakenly used with the
8.4 module, which is entirely likely after a dump-and-reload upgrade.  To
protect 8.4 beta testers against upgrade problems, add a check on PG_NARGS.

In passing, fix missed additions to the uninstall script, and polish the
docs a trifle.

156475a589 Revert my patch of 2009-04-04 that removed contrib/intarray's definitions of
the <@ and @> operators.  These are not in fact equivalent to the built-in
anyarray operators of the same names, because they have different behavior for
empty arrays, namely they don't think empty arrays are contained in anything.
That is mathematically wrong, no doubt, but until we can persuade GIN indexes
to implement the mathematical definition we should probably not change this.
Another reason for not changing it now is that we can't yet ensure the
opclasses will be updated correctly in a dump-and-reload upgrade.  Per
recent discussions.

9e403c2587 Add recovery_end_command option to recovery.conf. recovery_end_command
is run at the end of archive recovery, providing a chance to do external
cleanup. Modify pg_standby so that it no longer removes the trigger file,
that is to be done using the recovery_end_command now.

Provide a "smart" failover mode in pg_standby, where we don't fail over
immediately, but only after recovering all unapplied WAL from the archive.
That gives you zero data loss assuming all WAL was archived before
failover, which is what most users of pg_standby actually want.

48caf91b66 Change pgbench to use the table names pgbench_accounts, pgbench_branches,

history, and tellers.  This is to prevent accidental conflicts with real
application tables, as has been reported to happen at least once.  Also
remove the automatic "SET search_path = public" that it did at startup,
as this seems to restrict testing flexibility without actually buying much.

Adjust the module's index opclasses to support the built-in operators in place
of the private ones.

The private implementations are still available under their historical
names @ and ~, so no functionality is lost.  Some quick testing suggests
that they offer no real benefit over the core operators, however.

CREATE TYPE command.  The immediate reason for this is to provide a simple
solution for add-on modules that want to define types represented as int8,
float4, or float8: as of 8.4 the appropriate PASSEDBYVALUE setting is
platform-specific and so it's hard for a SQL script to know what to do.

This patch fixes the contrib/isn breakage reported by Rushabh Lathia.

d141e7493b Fix old bug in contrib/sslinfo: X509_NAME_to_text freed the BIO_s_mem buffer
it was using too soon.  In a situation where pg_do_encoding_conversion is
a no-op, this led to garbage data returned.

In HEAD, also modify the code that's ensuring null termination to make it
a tad more obvious what's happening.

13fdd0e4d1 Add some more citext test cases, per David Wheeler. Also remove the
citext-to-and-from-xml tests, since those caused variation between
installations with or without libxml without really proving much.  Instead
repurpose citext_1.out as the expected results in glibc en_US (and probably
other) locales.

902d1cb35f Remove all uses of the deprecated functions heap_formtuple, heap_modifytuple,
and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al
(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values).  Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.

19c8dc839b Unite ReadBufferWithFork, ReadBufferWithStrategy, and ZeroOrReadBuffer
functions into one ReadBufferExtended function, that takes the strategy
and mode as argument. There's three modes, RBM_NORMAL which is the default
used by plain ReadBuffer(), RBM_ZERO, which replaces ZeroOrReadBuffer, and
a new mode RBM_ZERO_ON_ERROR, which allows callers to read corrupt pages
without throwing an error. The FSM needs the new mode to recover from
corrupt pages, which could happend if we crash after extending an FSM file,
and the new page is "torn".

Add fork number to some error messages in bufmgr.c, that still lacked it.

05bba3d176 Be more tense about not creating tuplestores with randomAccess = true unless
backwards scan could actually happen.  In particular, pass a flag to
materialize-mode SRFs that tells them whether they need to require random
access.  In passing, also suppress unneeded backward-scan overhead for a
Portal's holdStore tuplestore.  Per my proposal about reducing I/O costs for
tuplestores.

e3e3d2a789 Extend ExecMakeFunctionResult() to support set-returning functions that return
via a tuplestore instead of value-per-call.  Refactor a few things to reduce
ensuing code duplication with nodeFunctionscan.c.  This represents the
reasonably noncontroversial part of my proposed patch to switch SQL functions
over to returning tuplestores.  For the moment, SQL functions still do things
the old way.  However, this change enables PL SRFs to be called in targetlists
(observe changes in plperl regression results).

5f853c6556 Use fork names instead of numbers in the file names for additional
relation forks. While the file names are not visible to users, for those
that do peek into the data directory, it's nice to have more descriptive
names. Per Greg Stark's suggestion.

6736da5484 Make the blkno arguments bigints instead of int4s. A signed int4 is not
large enough for block numbers higher than 2^31. The old pre-FSM-rewrite
pg_freespacemap implementation got this right. While we're at it, remove
some unnecessary #includes.

15c121b3ed Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, the
free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).

This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.

Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.

cae7ad906a Fix dblink_connect() so that it verifies that a password is supplied in the
conninfo string *before* trying to connect to the remote server, not after.
As pointed out by Marko Kreen, in certain not-very-plausible situations
this could result in sending a password from the postgres user's .pgpass file,
or other places that non-superusers shouldn't have access to, to an
untrustworthy remote server.  The cleanest fix seems to be to expose libpq's
conninfo-string-parsing code so that dblink can check for a password option
without duplicating the parsing logic.

fbb2b69c8f Prevent memory leaks in our various bison parsers when an error occurs
during parsing.  Formerly the parser's stack was allocated with malloc
and so wouldn't be reclaimed; this patch makes it use palloc instead,
so that flushing the current context will reclaim the memory.  Per
