Magnus Hagander 8c873bbfa7 Make the walwriter close it's handle to an old xlog segment if it's no longer
the current one. Not doing this would leave the walwriter with a handle to a
deleted file if there was nothing for it to do for a long period of time,
preventing the file from  being completely removed.

Reported by Tollef Fog Heen, and thanks to Heikki for some hand-holding with
the patch.

Itagaki Takahiro 5a41c317c5 Avoid "identifier will be truncated" warning in dblink
when connection string is longer than NAMEDATALEN.
The previous fix for long connection name broke the behavior.

Robert Haas d6e503a493 Attempt to fix EXPLAIN (FORMAT YAML) quoting to behave sanely.
The previous code failed to quote in many cases where quoting was necessary -
YAML has loads of special characters, including -:[]{},"'|*& - so quote much
more aggressively, and only refrain from quoting things where it seems fairly
clear that it isn't necessary.

Per report from Dean Rasheed.

Itagaki Takahiro b5faba1284 Ensure default-only storage parameters for TOAST relations
to be initialized with proper values. Affected parameters are
fillfactor, analyze_threshold, and analyze_scale_factor.

Especially uninitialized fillfactor caused inefficient page usage
because we built a StdRdOptions struct in which fillfactor is zero
if any reloption is set for the toast table.

In addition, we disallow toast.autovacuum_analyze_threshold and
toast.autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor because we didn't actually
support them; they are always ignored.

Itagaki Takahiro 3fd839950a Replace "slave" to "standby" in documentation for consistent terminology.
Almost all of the terms in docs and messages were replaced, but still
remains in a few comments and README files in codes.

Tom Lane 3ceb44fa0a Adjust misleading comment in walsender.c. We try to send all WAL data that's
been written out from shared memory, but the previous phrasing might be read
to say that we send only what's been fsync'd.
2010-06-03 23:00:14 +00:00
Tom Lane 0cc59cc1f3 Add current WAL end (as seen by walsender, ie, GetWriteRecPtr() result)
and current server clock time to SR data messages.  These are not currently
used on the slave side but seem likely to be useful in future, and it'd be
better not to change the SR protocol after release.  Per discussion.
Also do some minor code review and cleanup on walsender.c, and improve the
protocol documentation.

Peter Eisentraut cb6038c168 Fix some inconsistent quoting of wal_level values in messages
When referring to postgresql.conf syntax, then it's without quotes
(wal_level=archive); in narrative it's with double quotes.  But never
single quotes.

Tom Lane bc0f080928 Fix misuse of Lossy Counting (LC) algorithm in compute_tsvector_stats().
We must filter out hashtable entries with frequencies less than those
specified by the algorithm, else we risk emitting junk entries whose
actual frequency is much less than other lexemes that did not get
tabulated.  This is bad enough by itself, but even worse is that
tsquerysel() believes that the minimum frequency seen in pg_statistic is a
hard upper bound for lexemes not included, and was thus underestimating
the frequency of non-MCEs.

Also, set the threshold frequency to something with a little bit of theory
behind it, to wit assume that the input distribution is approximately
Zipfian.  This might need adjustment in future, but some preliminary
experiments suggest that it's not too unreasonable.

Back-patch to 8.4, where this code was introduced.

Tom Lane b12b7a9038 Change the notation for calling functions with named parameters from
"val AS name" to "name := val", as per recent discussion.

This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch,
but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping
the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable).

In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping
ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend.  It would
be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now.
I didn't attempt that at the moment.
