Tom Lane 5703a69003 We haven't had a fixed limit on rule recursion depth since 7.3 ...
but the documentation still said so.

Tom Lane b7d236d663 Make sure contrib C functions are marked strict where needed.

Tom Lane 750d9171f6 Add documentation for format_type(), which somehow escaped it before. 2005-01-28 23:12:59 +00:00
Tom Lane a9fec25df8 Add note cautioning that you can't use an encrypting IDENT server
with Postgres.

Tom Lane 875b0c62fa When dealing with multiple grouping columns coming from the same table,
clamp the estimated number of groups to table row count over 10, instead
of table row count; this reflects a heuristic that people probably won't
group over a near-unique set of columns, and the knowledge that we don't
currently have any way to estimate the correlation of the columns better
than guessing.  This change creates a trivial plan change in one of the
regression tests.

Tom Lane 0bf2587df4 Improve planner's estimation of the space needed for HashAgg plans:
look at the actual aggregate transition datatypes and the actual overhead
needed by nodeAgg.c, instead of using pessimistic round numbers.
Per a discussion with Michael Tiemann.

Tom Lane c3a4e22e82 pg_aggregate.h fails to compile standalone, for lack of an #include
defining List.
2005-01-28 17:35:53 +00:00
Tom Lane bb1bd3276e Adjust mkdir_p to do stat() before trying mkdir(). Avoids problems on
Solaris and should be a little faster anyway, since in most scenarios
all but perhaps the last path component will already exist.
2005-01-28 00:34:32 +00:00
Tom Lane 5ae5e3bfe6 Check that aggregate creator has the right to execute the transition
functions of the aggregate, at both aggregate creation and execution times.

Neil Conway f76730e35a Small patch to move get_grosysid() from catalog/aclchk.c to
utils/cache/lsyscache.c where it can be used by other things.  Also
cleans up both get_usesysid() and get_grosysid() a bit. From Stephen
Frost.
2005-01-27 23:36:15 +00:00
Neil Conway a885ecd6ef Change heap_modifytuple() to require a TupleDesc rather than a
Relation. Patch from Alvaro Herrera, minor editorializing by
Neil Conway.

Tom Lane 728775d781 Now that I look at it, int_array_enum() didn't work either. 2005-01-27 21:49:57 +00:00
Tom Lane 368964e153 Fix security and 64-bit issues in contrib/intagg. This code could
stand to be rewritten altogether, but for now just stick a finger in
the dike.

Teodor Sigaev 5e95311442 Add intset() to README 2005-01-27 14:14:01 +00:00
Neil Conway ffaaf27eb4 Provide a more descriptive error message when the return type of an SRF
does not match what the query expected. From Brendan Jurd, minor
editorializing by Neil Conway.

Tom Lane f07b9689c9 Generalize TRUNCATE to support truncating multiple tables in one
command.  This is useful because we can allow truncation of tables
referenced by foreign keys, so long as the referencing table is
truncated in the same command.

Neil Conway 4fe201237f Add regression tests for recent cursor/savepoint bug fixed by Alvaro and
Tom.
2005-01-27 01:32:00 +00:00
Tom Lane aba691b728 Close all cursors created during a failed subtransaction. This is needed
to avoid problems when a cursor depends on objects created or changed in
the same subtransaction.  We'd like to do better someday, but this seems
the only workable answer for 8.0.1.

Tom Lane b0e3dd7e61 Adjust Windows autovacuum service to retry for up to 5 minutes waiting
for the postmaster to start.  Dave Page
2005-01-26 22:25:13 +00:00
Tom Lane bf7737a938 On Windows, set the postmaster executable's stack size to 4MB, so that
it agrees with the default value of max_stack_depth.
2005-01-26 21:55:26 +00:00
Tom Lane 7969649bd5 Minor tweak to avoid unnecessary memory bloat when dumping extremely wide
column values in -d mode.  Per report from Marty Scholes.  This doesn't
completely solve the issue, because we still need multiple copies of the
field value, but at least one copy can be got rid of painlessly ...
2005-01-26 21:24:12 +00:00
Tom Lane 4de12d4470 Add docs for a couple of formerly-undocumented geometric conversion functions. 2005-01-26 20:42:19 +00:00
