Tom Lane 8d355d7bbf Fix the makefiles to fail cleanly if Perl is needed but not present. This
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically.  Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually.  Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull.  Per a complaint from Robert Haas.

Tom Lane 471913a6a5 More fixes for 8.4 DTrace probes. Remove useless BUFFER_HIT/BUFFER_MISS
probes --- the BUFFER_READ_DONE probe provides the same information and more
besides.  Expand the LOCK_WAIT_START/DONE probe arguments so that there's
actually some chance of telling what is being waited for.  Update and
clean up the documentation.

Peter Eisentraut 0884acbcab Move FAQ_AIX information to installation instructions.
The information on why the shared libraries are built the way they are
was not relevant to end users and has been made a mailing list archive
link in Makefile.shlib.

FAQ_AIX needs separate consideration and will be dealt with later.

Peter Eisentraut 7c31742a07 Remove all traces that suggest that a non-Bison yacc might be supported, and
change build system to use only Bison.  Simplify build rules, make file names

Tom Lane cf9f6c8d8e Extend yesterday's patch making BLCKSZ and RELSEG_SIZE configurable to also
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure.  Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".
2008-05-02 19:52:37 +00:00
Tom Lane 3c6248a828 Remove the recently added USE_SEGMENTED_FILES option, and indeed remove all
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c.  Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size.  So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

Tom Lane 8472bf7a73 Allow float8, int8, and related datatypes to be passed by value on machines
where Datum is 8 bytes wide.  Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior.  Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.
2008-04-21 00:26:47 +00:00
Neil Conway 2169e42bef Enable 64-bit integer datetimes by default, per previous discussion.
This requires a working 64-bit integer type. If such a type cannot
be found, "--disable-integer-datetimes" can be used to switch
back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.

Neil Conway c111a7211f Update documentation for recent DTrace changes. Patch from Robert Lor. 2008-03-25 22:50:27 +00:00
Tom Lane f0828b2fc3 Provide a build-time option to store large relations as single files, rather
than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice.  This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

Peter Eisentraut b120382353 Upgrade to Autoconf 2.61:
- Change configure.in to use Autoconf 2.61 and update generated files.
- Update build system and documentation to support now directory variables
  offered by Autoconf 2.61.
- Replace usages of PGAC_CHECK_ALIGNOF by AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, now available
  in Autoconf 2.61.
- Drop our patched version of AC_C_INLINE, as Autoconf now has the change.

Tom Lane 2874d38d7f Update docs to reflect the fact that we can now deal with DST rules
outside the 32-bit-time_t range.  Also, refer to Olson's tz database
as the 'zoneinfo' database, a name that upstream sometimes uses, not
'zic database' which they never use.
2008-02-16 21:51:04 +00:00
Tom Lane 73d9544e27 Remove the old table of "supported platforms" in favor of a link to the
buildfarm plus a narrative description of the CPU types and operating systems
on which Postgres is likely to work.  Now that we've almost completely
decoupled CPU and OS considerations, the former tabular style isn't all that
enlightening anyway.  Perhaps more importantly, no one seems particularly
interested in maintaining the table by hand when we have the buildfarm.

Bruce Momjian 8b4ff8b6a1 Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

Tom Lane 7a28de2052 pg_dump can now dump large objects even in plain-text output mode, by

to try to adjust database references to match a new set of blob OIDs.

Tom Lane 6f7fc0bade Cause initdb to create a third standard database "postgres", which
unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane.  All per recent
pghackers discussions.

Bruce Momjian 72c53ac3a7 Allow kerberos name and username case sensitivity to be specified from
postgresql.conf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:

1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.

3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.

4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)

Bruce Momjian 513e89b44b please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

documentation.
