Bruce Momjian 17aae41afd Add tsearch tab completion support:
* adds a few missing words to some commands (like adding GIN as a valid
index type or OWNED BY for ALTER SEQUENCE,...)

* support for ALTER TABLE foo ENABLE/DISABLE REPLICA TRIGGER/RULE

* autocomplete CREATE DATABASE foo TEMPLATE (mostly done to prevent
conflicts with the TEMPLATE keyword for text search)

* support for ALTER/CREATE/DROP TEXT SEARCH as well as COMMENT ON TEXT
SEARCH and the corresponding psql backslash commands.
This proved a little more difficult than expected due to the fact that
words_after_create[] is used for two purposes - one is to provide a list
of words that follow immediatly after CREATE (or DROP) and the other
purpose is to use it for autocompleting anywhere in the statement if the
word in that struct is found with a query.
Since TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION|DICTIONARY|TEMPLATE|PARSER results in 3
words instead of one (as all the other words in that list are) I added a
flag to the struct to tell create_command_generator() to skip that entry
 for autocompleting immediatly after CREATE which feels like a dirty
hack (but that holds true for a lot of code in tab-complete.c).

Tom Lane 6889303531 Redefine the lp_flags field of item pointers as having four states, rather
than two independent bits (one of which was never used in heap pages anyway,
or at least hadn't been in a very long time).  This gives us flexibility to
add the HOT notions of redirected and dead item pointers without requiring
anything so klugy as magic values of lp_off and lp_len.  The state values
are chosen so that for the states currently in use (pre-HOT) there is no
change in the physical representation.

Tom Lane 861f7357b9 Give ICC its preferred, documented form of the no-strict-aliasing
switch, viz '-fno-alias'.  Since we have a separate code path here
anyway, it's just as easy to cooperate.

Tom Lane f181f9e1e4 Make sure that open hash table scans are cleaned up when bgwriter tries to
recover from elog(ERROR).  Problem was created by introduction of hash seq
search tracking awhile back, and affects all branches that have bgwriter;
in HEAD the disease has snuck into autovacuum and walwriter too.  (Not sure
that the latter two use hash_seq_search at the moment, but surely they might
someday.)  Per report from Sergey Koposov.
2007-09-11 17:15:33 +00:00
Tom Lane 5cf785a4de Include hash table name in all the internal-error elog messages in
dynahash.c.  Sergey Koposov's current open problem shows the possible
usefulness of this, and it doesn't add much code.

Teodor Sigaev 476045a21b Remove QueryOperand->istrue flag, it was used only in cover ranking

Teodor Sigaev 13553cbbff Fix header's size of structs defines in ispell.
Backpatch is needed for contrib version.
2007-09-11 12:57:05 +00:00
Teodor Sigaev 64def09592 Add regression tests for ispell, synonym and thesaurus dictionaries.
Rename synonym.syn.sample and thesaurs.ths.sample to
synonym_sample.syn and thesaurs_sample.ths accordingly to be able to use they
in regression test.

Ispell dictionary uses synthetic simple dictionary files.

Teodor Sigaev c4b2b2960a Fix ts_debug function to prevent unneeded calls of ts_lexize().
It will be mush better to reimplement ts_debug in C (instead of SQL as now),
but it's planned for the future.
2007-09-11 08:51:22 +00:00
Teodor Sigaev 57cafe7982 Refactor from Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>:
* Defined new struct WordEntryPosVector that holds a uint16 length and a
variable size array of WordEntries. This replaces the previous
convention of a variable size uint16 array, with the first element
implying the length. WordEntryPosVector has the same layout in memory,
but is more readable in source code. The POSDATAPTR and POSDATALEN
macros are still used, though it would now be more readable to access
the fields in WordEntryPosVector directly.

* Removed needfree field from DocRepresentation. It was always set to false.

* Miscellaneous other commenting and refactoring

Tom Lane ef4d38c86c Rename recently-added pg_stat_activity column from txn_start to xact_start,
for consistency with other column names such as in pg_stat_database.

Tom Lane 82a47982f3 Arrange for SET LOCAL's effects to persist until the end of the current top
transaction, unless rolled back or overridden by a SET clause for the same
variable attached to a surrounding function call.  Per discussion, these
seem the best semantics.  Note that this is an INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: in 8.0
through 8.2, SET LOCAL's effects disappeared at subtransaction commit
(leading to behavior that made little sense at the SQL level).

I took advantage of the opportunity to rewrite and simplify the GUC variable
save/restore logic a little bit.  The old idea of a "tentative" value is gone;
it was a hangover from before we had a stack.  Also, we no longer need a stack
entry for every nesting level, but only for those in which a variable's value
actually changed.

Alvaro Herrera b366562e43 Make CLUSTER and REINDEX silently skip remote temp tables in their
