Tom Lane 9eff02f5ac Update obsolete comments about COPY vs INSERT options, per Uwe Schroeder. 2004-10-21 22:48:54 +00:00
Tom Lane 12a47c6aca Disallow referential integrity actions from being deferred; only the
NO ACTION check is deferrable.  This seems to be a closer approximation
to what the SQL spec says than what we were doing before, and it prevents
some anomalous behaviors that are possible now that triggers can fire
during the execution of PL functions.

Tom Lane 7627b91cd5 Set the close-on-exec flag for libpq's socket to the backend, to avoid
any possible problems from child programs executed by the client app.

Tom Lane 3fdd33ab99 Avoid macro-redefinition warnings on Windows, per Andrew Dunstan. 2004-10-21 19:49:27 +00:00
Tom Lane 380bd04c16 Standardize on using the Min, Max, and Abs macros that are in our c.h file,
getting rid of numerous ad-hoc versions that have popped up in various
places.  Shortens code and avoids conflict with Windows min() and max()
macros.

Tom Lane fb22b32095 Allow functions returning void or cstring to appear in FROM clause,
to make life cushy for the JDBC driver.  Centralize the decision-making
that affects this by inventing a get_type_func_class() function, rather
than adding special cases in half a dozen places.

Neil Conway 857e210ea9 When using GCC, change the default CFLAGS to:
-O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith

Check whether the version of GCC we are using supports any of:

  -Wdeclaration-after-statement
  -Wendif-labels
  -Wold-style-definition

And add the supported flags to CFLAGS.

Tom Lane c77d06633a Add some code to ensure that we don't lose communication sync due to
an oversize message, per suggestion from Oliver Jowett.  I'm a bit
dubious that this is a real problem, since the client likely doesn't
have any more space available than the server, but it's not hard to
make it behave according to the protocol intention.

Bruce Momjian f9259bd563 Update wording:
* Allow a database in tablespace t1 with tables created in tablespace t2
  to be used as a template for a new database created with default
  tablespace t2

  All objects in the default database tablespace must have default tablespace
  specifications.  This is because new databases are created by copying
  directories.  If you mix default tablespace tables and tablespace-specified
  tables in the same directory, creating a new database from such a mixed
  directory would create a new database with tables that had incorrect
  explicit tablespaces.  To fix this would require modifying pg_class in the
  newly copied database, which we don't currently do.

Tom Lane 4347cc2392 Allow background writing to be shut down by setting limit values to zero.
This does not disable the bgwriter process: it still has to wake up often
enough to collect fsync requests from backends in a timely fashion.  But
it responds to the recent gripe about not being able to prevent the disk
from being spun up constantly.

Tom Lane 830c168e5c Give a more user-friendly error message in situation where CREATE DATABASE
specifies a new default tablespace and the template database already has
some tables in that tablespace.  There isn't any way to solve this fully
without modifying the clone database's pg_class contents, so for now the
best we can do is issue a better error message.

Tom Lane cc6a90e4af Remove dllist.c from libpq. It's overkill for what libpq needs; we can
just stick a list-link into struct PGnotify instead.  Result is a smaller
faster and more robust library (mainly because we reduce the number of
malloc's and free's involved in notify processing), plus less pollution
of application link-symbol namespace.

Tom Lane 2a63c1602d Generate the various .def files for libpq DLLs from a single list of

Windows boxes will have sed.

Tom Lane f68d05d5ec Limit NBuffers and some related values to INT_MAX / BLCKSZ, to prevent
arithmetic overflow during initial sizing calculations.  This is not
water-tight but it should avoid the grossest sorts of failures.
2004-10-16 19:08:38 +00:00
Tom Lane fdd13f1568 Give the ResourceOwner mechanism full responsibility for releasing buffer
pins at end of transaction, and reduce AtEOXact_Buffers to an Assert
cross-check that this was done correctly.  When not USE_ASSERT_CHECKING,
AtEOXact_Buffers is a complete no-op.  This gets rid of an O(NBuffers)
bottleneck during transaction commit/abort, which recent testing has shown
becomes significant above a few tens of thousands of shared buffers.
2004-10-16 18:57:26 +00:00
Tom Lane 1c2de47746 Remove BufferLocks[] array in favor of a single pointer to the buffer
(if any) currently waited for by LockBufferForCleanup(), which is all
that we were using it for anymore.  Saves some space and eliminates
proportional-to-NBuffers slowdown in UnlockBuffers().
