option of CREATE DATABASE. In pg_regress, create regression database
from template0 to ensure that any installation-local cruft in template1
will not mess up the tests.
waste of cycles on single-CPU machines, and of dubious utility on multi-CPU
machines too.
Tweak s_lock_stuck so that caller can specify timeout interval, and
increase interval before declaring stuck spinlock for buffer locks and XLOG
locks.
On systems that have fdatasync(), use that rather than fsync() to sync WAL
log writes. Ensure that WAL file is entirely allocated during XLogFileInit.
either wrong or unnecessary in most cases, and on systems where setting
status takes a kernel call, the overhead of setting status three times
per command rather than two is annoying.

- Reduced the object overhead in PreparedStatement by reusing the same
StringBuffer object throughout. Similarly SimpleDateStamp's are alse
reused in a thread save manner.
- Implemented in PreparedStatement: setNull(), setDate/Time/Timestamp
using Calendar, setBlob(), setCharacterStream()
- Clob's are now implemented in ResultSet & PreparedStatement!
- Implemented a lot of DatabaseMetaData & ResultSetMetaData methods.
We have about 18 unimplemented methods left in JDBC2 at the current
time.
if the return datatype's input converter was at all strict, because the
converter would get called on junk data when returning NULL. Also
ensure that it gives an error rather than coredumping if someone tries
to use it in a trigger function.
1. If there is exactly one pg_operator entry of the right name and oprkind,
oper() and related routines would return that entry whether its input type
had anything to do with the request or not. This is just premature
optimization: we shouldn't return the single candidate until after we verify
that it really is a valid candidate, ie, is at least coercion-compatible
with the given types.
2. oper() and related routines only promise a coercion-compatible result.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few callers that assumed the returned
operator is binary-compatible with the given datatype; they would proceed
to call it without making any datatype coercions. These callers include
sorting, grouping, aggregation, and VACUUM ANALYZE. In general I think
it is appropriate for these callers to require an exact or binary-compatible
match, so I've added a new routine compatible_oper() that only succeeds if
it can find an operator that doesn't require any run-time conversions.
Callers now call oper() or compatible_oper() depending on whether they are
prepared to deal with type conversion or not.
The upshot of these bugs is revealed by the following silliness in PL/Tcl's
selftest: it creates an operator @< on int4, and then tries to use it to
sort a char(N) column. The system would let it do that :-( (and evidently
has done so since 6.3 :-( :-(). The result in this case was just a silly
sort order, but the reverse combination would've provoked coredump from
trying to dereference integers. With this fix you get more reasonable
behavior:
pltcl_test=# select * from T_pkey1 order by key1, key2 using @<;
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '@<' for types 'bpchar' and 'bpchar'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
automatically to compensate the lack of automatic
conversion functionality of PostgreSQL server.
For example if there's a numeric type binding
1.2567 --> 1.2567::numeric.
I hope this change would enable the use of numeric
type in MS-Access etc.
Thanks Hiroki Kataoka for his checking my code.
compressed storage works perfectly well. Might as well have a coherent
strategy for applying it, rather than the haphazard store-what-you-get
approach that was in the code before. The strategy I've set up here is
to attempt compression of any compressible index value exceeding
BLCKSZ/16, or about 500 bytes by default.
the old ones were not small enough to ensure r-tree and gist indexes would
get picked when available. These numbers are totally bogus anyway, but
in the absence of any real estimation technique, we'd like to select
indexes when available ...
per recent discussion in pgsql-odbc. Now SELECT is
a boundary but VACUUM isn't.
2) Put back the error handling behavior. When elog(ERROR)
was detected the driver automatically issue "ABORT"
if a transaction is in progress.
3) Driver version is 7.01.0003(Dave already set it but
it was put back).
