indexable-clauses list for a btree index. Formerly it just Asserted that
all such clauses were opclauses, but that's no longer true in 8.3.
Per bug #3796 from Matthias Schoeneich.
namely that \r, \n, \t, \b, \f, \v are dumped as those two-character
representations rather than a backslash and the literal control character.
I had made it do the other to save some code, but this was ill-advised,
because dump files in which these characters appear literally are prone to
newline mangling. Fortunately, doing it the old way should only cost a few
more lines of code, and not slow down the copy loop materially.
Per bug #3795 from Lou Duchez.
constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other
small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed. Allow INCLUDING INDEXES
indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful,
but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty
unorthogonal). Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt(). Undo some
poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem
to be better places for them.
implicit loading of modules, thereby breaking Safe rules.
We compile and call a tiny perl function on trusted interpreter init, after which
the problem does not occur.
but no database changes have been made since the last CommandCounterIncrement.
This should result in a significant improvement in the number of "commands"
that can typically be performed within a transaction before hitting the 2^32
CommandId size limit. In particular this buys back (and more) the possible
adverse consequences of my previous patch to fix plan caching behavior.
The implementation requires tracking whether the current CommandCounter
value has been "used" to mark any tuples. CommandCounter values stored into
snapshots are presumed not to be used for this purpose. This requires some
small executor changes, since the executor used to conflate the curcid of
the snapshot it was using with the command ID to mark output tuples with.
Separating these concepts allows some small simplifications in executor APIs.
Something for the TODO list: look into having CommandCounterIncrement not do
AcceptInvalidationMessages. It seems fairly bogus to be doing it there,
but exactly where to do it instead isn't clear, and I'm disinclined to mess
with asynchronous behavior during late beta.
plan before the effects of DDL executed in an immediately prior SPI operation
had been absorbed. Per report from Chris Wood.
This patch has an unpleasant side effect of causing the number of
CommandCounterIncrement()s done by a typical plpgsql function to
approximately double. Amelioration of the consequences of that
will be undertaken in a separate patch.
reloading of operator class information on each use of LookupOpclassInfo.
Had this been in place a year ago, it would have helped me find a bug
in the then-new 'operator family' code. Now that we have a build farm
member testing CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS on a regular basis, it seems worth
expending a little bit of effort here.
inappropriately generic-sounding names. This is more or less free since
we already forced initdb for the next beta, and it may prevent confusion or
name conflicts (particularly at the C-global-symbol level) down the road.
Per my proposal yesterday.
by short-circuiting schema search path and ambiguous-operator resolution
computations. Remarkably, this buys as much as 45% speedup of repetitive
simple queries that involve operators that are not an exact match to the
input datatypes. It should be marginally faster even for exact-match
cases, though I've not had success in proving an improvement in benchmark
tests. Per report from Guillame Smet and subsequent discussion.
is sane (eg, EXIT argument or first part of a qualified identifier), and cause
more-closely-nested record variables to take precedence over outer block
labels. This cures the breakage exhibited by Marko Kreen that 8.3 no longer
allowed a function's name to be used for a variable within the function, and
makes plpgsql's handling of block labels more like Oracle's. It's important
to fix this now because we are documenting the use of block labels as variable
qualifiers for the first time in 8.3.
useful consequence of the former liberal implicit casting to text;
namely that you can feed non-string values to quote_literal() and get
unsurprising results. Per discussion.
to a UNION, CASE, or related construct are of the same domain type. The
main part of this routine smashes domains to their base types, which seems
necessary because the logic involves TypeCategory() and IsPreferredType(),
neither of which work usefully on domains. However, we can add a first
pass that just detects whether all the inputs are exactly the same type,
and if so accept that without question (so long as it's not UNKNOWN).
Per recent gripe from Dean Rasheed.
In passing, remove some tests for InvalidOid, which have clearly been dead
code for quite some time now, because getBaseType() would fail on that input.
Also, clarify the manual's not-very-precise description of the existing
algorithm's behavior.
subtlety that this function only returns a null terminator if it's
fed input that includes one; which, in the usage here, it's not.
This probably fixes bugs reported by Thomas Haegi.
clauselist_selectivity skip some analysis that's useless when there's only
one clause in the given list. Actually this can win even for not-so-simple
queries, because we also apply clauselist_selectivity to sublists such as the
quals matching an index; which are likely to have only a single entry even
when the total query is quite complicated.
if the locale has the thousands separator as "". This now matches the
to_char and psql numericlocale behavior. (Previously this data type was
basically useless for such setups.)
