Tom Lane f009c316ba Tweak code so that pg_subtrans is never consulted for XIDs older than
RecentXmin (== MyProc->xmin).  This ensures that it will be safe to
truncate pg_subtrans at RecentGlobalXmin, which should largely eliminate
any fear of bloat.  Along the way, eliminate SubTransXidsHaveCommonAncestor,
which isn't really needed and could not give a trustworthy result anyway
under the lookback restriction.
In an unrelated but nearby change, #ifdef out GetUndoRecPtr, which has
been dead code since 2001 and seems unlikely to ever be resurrected.

Bruce Momjian f7168bd44c They are two different problems; the TOC entry is important for any
multiline command  or to rerun the command easily later.

Whereas displaying the failed SQL command is a matter of fixing the
error
messages.

The latter is complicated by failed COPY commands which, with
die-on-errors
off, results in the data being processed as a command, so dumping the
command will dump all of the data.

In the case of long commands, should the whole command be dumped? eg.
(eg.
several pages of function definition).

In the case of the COPY command, I'm not sure what to do. Obviously, it
would be best to avoid sending the data, but the data and command are
combined (from memory). Also, the 'data' may be in the form of INSERT
statements.

Attached patch produces the first 125 chars of the command:

Bruce Momjian b43fd16eec I notice that contrib/fuzzystrmatch/dmetaphone.c doesn't compile cleanly
as it stands - it mixes declarations in code, C++-style. The attached
patch shifts declarations to the tops of functions and enables this file
to compile cleanly as C.

Bruce Momjian cecf41bd29 Attached is the third version of my patch that adds/fixes several things
to/in the psql-tabcomplete code. This diff includes the still missing
tab-complete support for TABLESPACE I already sent earlier. New in this
version of the patch is a small adaption of the tab-complete code to
support the adjusted SAVEPOINT-Syntax commited by Tom, as well as
completion of the only half working (and I think only by accident)
tabcomplete-suppport for "BEGIN [ TRANSACTION | WORK ]".

below is a complete list of the things I have changed with this patch:


*) add tablespace support for CREATE/DROP/ALTER and \db
*) sync the list of possible commands following ALTER with the docs (by
adding
AGGREGATE,CONVERSATION,DOMAIN,FUNCTION,LANGUAGE,OPERATOR,SEQUENCE,TABLESPACE
and TYPE)
*) provide a list of valid users after "OWNER TO"
*) tab-complete support for ALTER (AGGREGATE|CONVERSION|FUNCTION)
*) basic tab-complete support for ALTER DOMAIN
*) provide a list of suitable indexes following ALTER TABLE <sth>
CLUSTER ON(?)
*) add "CLUSTER ON" and "SET" to the ALTER TABLE <sth> - tab-complete
list(fixes incorrect/wrong tab-complete with ALTER TABLE <sth> SET
+<TAB> too)
*) provide a list of possible indexes following ALTER TABLE <sth> CLUSTER ON
*) provide list of possible commands(WITHOUT CLUSTER,WITHOUT OIDS,
TABLESPACE) following ALTER TABLE <sth> SET
*) sync "COMMENT ON" with docs by adding "CAST","CONVERSION","FUNCTION"
*) add ABSOLUT to the list of possible commands after FETCH
*) "END" was missing from the sql-commands overview (though it had
completion support!) - i know it's depreciated but we have ABORT and
others still in ...
*) fixes small buglet with ALTER (TRIGGER|CLUSTER) ON autocomplete
(CLUSTER ON +<TAB> would produce CLUSTER ON ON - same for TRIGGER ON)
*) adapt to new SAVEPOINT syntax
*) fix incomplete Support for BEGIN [ TRANSACTION | WORK ]

Bruce Momjian 1b5e0143b5 This patch allows pg_restore to recognize $-quotes in SQL queries. It
will treat any unquoted string that starts with a $ and has no preceding
identifier chars as a potential $-quote tag, it then makes sure that the
tag chars are valid. If so, it processes the $-quote.

Sigh... as usual, what is not tested does not work:-(


> Could we have a more complete patch?

Please find a submission attached. I hope it really fixes all decade,
century and millenium issues for extract and *_trunc functions on
interval
and other timestamp types. If someone could check that the results
are reasonnable, it would be great.

I indeed overlooked the fact that there were two functions. The patch
fixes the code so that both variants agree.

I added comments to interval extractions, because it relies on the C
division to have a negative remainder: -7/10 = 0 and remains -7.

As for *_trunc functions, I have chosen to put the first year of the
century or millennium: -100, 1, 101... 1001 2001 etc. Indeed, I don't
think it would make sense to put 2000 (last year of the 2nd millennium)
for rounding all years of the third millenium.

I also fixed the code so that all decades last 10 years and decade 199
means the 1990's.

I have added some tests that are relevant to deal with tricky cases. The
formula may be simplified, but all these cases must pass. Please keep
them.

Tom Lane bbd6eb5b95 Repair some issues with column aliases and RowExpr construction in the
presence of dropped columns.  Document the already-presumed fact that
eref aliases in relation RTEs are supposed to have entries for dropped
columns; cause the user alias structs to have such entries too, so that
there's always a one-to-one mapping to the underlying physical attnums.
Adjust expandRTE() and related code to handle the case where a column
that is part of a JOIN has been dropped.  Generalize expandRTE()'s API
so that it can be used in a couple of places that formerly rolled their
own implementation of the same logic.  Fix ruleutils.c to suppress
display of aliases for columns that were dropped since the rule was made.

Tom Lane 19cd31b068 Fix bug introduced into _bt_getstackbuf() on 2003-Feb-21: the initial
value of 'start' could be past the end of the page, if the page was
split by some concurrent inserting process since we visited it.  In
this situation the code could look at bogus entries and possibly find
a match (since after all those entries still contain what they had
before the split).  This would lead to 'specified item offset is too large'
followed by 'PANIC: failed to add item to the page', as reported by Joe
Conway for scenarios involving heavy concurrent insertion activity.
