Tom Lane 953c85646e A bit of copy-editing on back-branch release notes. 2006-10-11 20:55:52 +00:00
Tom Lane 772c5ba31f Repair incorrect check for coercion of unknown literal to ANYARRAY, a bug
I introduced in 7.4.1 :-(.  It's correct to allow unknown to be coerced to
ANY or ANYELEMENT, since it's a real-enough data type, but it most certainly
isn't an array datatype.  This can cause a backend crash but AFAICT is not
exploitable as a security hole.  Per report from Michael Fuhr.

Note: as fixed in HEAD, this changes a constant in the pg_stats view,
resulting in a change in the expected regression outputs.  The back-branch
patches have been hacked to avoid that, so that pre-existing installations
won't start failing their regression tests.

Teodor Sigaev 3f16647960 Rename function 'isexists' and 'isdefined' to
'exist' and 'defined' accordingly. Old names
are saved not mentioned in docs - for compatibility
with old applications.

Tom Lane 24e9752863 Revise psql pattern-matching switches as per discussion. The rule is now
to process all inclusion switches then all exclusion switches, so that the
behavior is independent of switch ordering.
Use of -T does not cause non-table objects to be suppressed.  And
the patterns are now interpreted the same way psql's \d commands do it,
rather than as pure regex commands; this allows for example -t schema.tab
to do what it should have been doing all along.  Re-enable the --blobs
switch to do something useful, ie, add back blobs into a dump they were
otherwise suppressed from.

Tom Lane 77d2b1b625 Improve description of the pattern matching rules used by psql's \d
commands (and soon by pg_dump).
2006-10-09 23:31:29 +00:00
Tom Lane 39ed8c4049 Move processNamePattern into dumputils.c in preparation for using it in
pg_dump as well as psql.  Since psql already uses dumputils.c, while there's
not any code sharing in the other direction, this seems the easiest way.
Also, fix misinterpretation of patterns using regex | by adding parentheses
(same bug found previously in similar_escape()).  This should be backpatched.

Tom Lane c7611f99d6 On Windows, we know the backend stack size limit because we have to
specify it explicitly in backend/Makefile.  Arrange for this value to
be known by get_stack_depth_rlimit() too.  Per suggestion from Magnus.

those files from being built.

Tom Lane 0629030962 Fix ancient oversight in psql's \d pattern processing code: when seeing two
quote chars inside quote marks, should emit one quote *and stay in inquotes
mode*.  No doubt the lack of reports of this have something to do with the
poor documentation of the feature ...

Peter Eisentraut 2b25e1169f The -X option in pg_dump was supposed to be a workaround for the lack of
portable long options.  But we have had portable long options for a long
time now, so this is obsolete.  Now people have added options which *only*
work with -X but not as regular long option, so I'm putting a stop to this:
-X is deprecated; it still works, but it has been removed from the
documentation, and please don't add more of them.

Tom Lane dc9142f406 When planning a query at Bind time, be careful to pass the correct
query_list into the Portal, ie, the one seen and possibly modified by
the planner.  My fault :-(  Per report from Sergey Koposov.

Tom Lane 71a6f8b85b On platforms that have getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK), use it to ensure that
max_stack_depth is not set to an unsafe value.

This commit also provides configure-time checking for <sys/resource.h>,
and cleans up some perhaps-unportable code associated with use of that
include file and getrlimit().
2006-10-07 19:25:29 +00:00
Tom Lane 1c160291ef Adjust HINT for stack depth limit to mention checking the underlying
platform limit, rather than just blindly raising max_stack_depth.
Also, tweak the code to work properly if someone sets max_stack_depth
to more than 2Gb, which guc.c will allow on a 64-bit machine.

Tom Lane 452fa214e5 Fix string_to_array() to correctly handle the case where there are
overlapping possible matches for the separator string, such as
string_to_array('123xx456xxx789', 'xx').
Also, revise the logic of replace(), split_part(), and string_to_array()
to avoid O(N^2) work from redundant searches and conversions to pg_wchar
format when there are N matches to the separator string.
Backpatched the full patch as far as 8.0.  7.4 also has the bug, but the
code has diverged a lot, so I just went for a quick-and-dirty fix of the
bug itself in that branch.

Tom Lane 11d4d424d4 Fix bcc32.mak to create and remove pg_config_os.h properly. Apparently
win32.mak got patched for this, but not bcc32.mak.
2006-10-06 18:53:53 +00:00
Tom Lane 6ea8f49573 Fix SysCacheGetAttr() to handle the case where the specified syscache has not
been initialized yet.  This can happen because there are code paths that call
SysCacheGetAttr() on a tuple originally fetched from a different syscache
(hopefully on the same catalog) than the one specified in the call.  It
doesn't seem useful or robust to try to prevent that from happening, so just
improve the function to cope instead.  Per bug#2678 from Jeff Trout.  The
specific example shown by Jeff is new in 8.1, but to be on the safe side
I'm backpatching 8.0 as well.  We could patch 7.x similarly but I think
that's probably overkill, given the lack of evidence of old bugs of this ilk.

Tom Lane 378c79dc78 Cleanup for pglz_compress code: remove dead code, const-ify API of
remaining functions, simplify pglz_compress's API to not require a useless
data copy when compression fails.  Also add a check in pglz_decompress that
the expected amount of data was decompressed.

Tom Lane e378f82e00 Make use of qsort_arg in several places that were formerly using klugy
static variables.  This avoids any risk of potential non-reentrancy,
and in particular offers a much cleaner workaround for the Intel compiler
bug that was affecting ginutil.c.

Tom Lane 9e6c3582dd Second try at fixing libedit configuration for Bob Friesenhahn.
Buildfarm results from 'gazelle' show that there are indeed libedit
versions for which history.h is a needed header, even though it's
apparently been dropped entirely in other versions.  Grumble.

Tom Lane bdef2bf296 Adjust configure's handling of libedit to not look for a history.h file.
Per Bob Friesenhahn's report, this file is not supplied by some versions
of libedit, and even when it is supplied it seems to be just a link to
readline.h, so we don't need to include it anyway.
Also, ensure that we won't try to use a too-old version of Bison.
The previous coding would bleat but then use it anyway; better to invoke
the 'missing' script if any grammar files need to be rebuilt.

Tom Lane ff40057116 Fix initdb's logic for picking shared_buffers/max_fsm_pages, which had
gotten rather thoroughly whacked out by careless recent changes: the
intended ratio between the two was off by a lot, and the minimum number
of shared buffers tried had increased by a lot.  Problem exposed by
failures on buildfarm members with smaller SHMMAX values.
