is null-terminated. I think this is not a real bug because the parser
would always have truncated the identifier to NAMEDATALEN-1 already,
but let's be safe. Per report from Klocwork.

Great.
A follow-up patch for current CVS HEAD is attached, and available at
http://troels.arvin.dk/db/pgsql/conformance/pgsql-sql-conformance-
followup.patch
The patch
- includes a core feature ID that had been left
out by mistake (C011)
- updates the sql_feature_packages.txt table to
reflect changes in SQL:2003 which were not
covered properly in my last patch

the "ps" argument list on Unix - meaning that there is no way to
identify for example the stats processors or the bgwriter.
This patch adds this functionality, in a bit of a crufty way. It creates
a kernel Event object with the name of what would be in the title. This
can be viewed using for example Process Explorer.
It's been very handy for me during both debugging and using. I haven't
figured a better way, but perhaps someone has one that's less crufty? If
not, here is at least a working patch :-)

reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.
Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts. If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations. But I don't.
escapes --- they aren't simply quoted characters. Problem noted by
Antti Salmela. Also fix problem with incorrect handling of multibyte
characters when followed by a quantifier.
In particular, there was a mathematical tie between the two possible
nestloop-with-materialized-inner-scan plans for a join (ie, we computed
the same cost with either input on the inside), resulting in a roundoff
error driven choice, if the relations were both small enough to fit in
sort_mem. Add a small cost factor to ensure we prefer materializing the
smaller input. This changes several regression test plans, but with any
luck we will now have more stability across platforms.
a relation's number of blocks, rather than the possibly-obsolete value
in pg_class.relpages. Scale the value in pg_class.reltuples correspondingly
to arrive at a hopefully more accurate number of rows. When pg_class
contains 0/0, estimate a tuple width from the column datatypes and divide
that into current file size to estimate number of rows. This improved
methodology allows us to jettison the ancient hacks that put bogus default
values into pg_class when a table is first created. Also, per a suggestion
from Simon, make VACUUM (but not VACUUM FULL or ANALYZE) adjust the value
it puts into pg_class.reltuples to try to represent the mean tuple density
instead of the minimal density that actually prevails just after VACUUM.
These changes alter the plans selected for certain regression tests, so
update the expected files accordingly. (I removed join_1.out because
it's not clear if it still applies; we can add back any variant versions
as they are shown to be needed.)
prevents problems when the DECLARE is in a portal and is executed
repeatedly, as is possible in v3 protocol. Per analysis by Oliver
Jowett, though I didn't use his patch exactly.
error conditions during regexp compile, but not during regexp execution;
any sort of "can't happen" errors would be treated as no-match instead
of being reported as they should be. Noticed while trying to duplicate
a reported Tcl bug.
to be processed by GUC before InitPostgres, because any required lookup
of the encoding conversion function has to be done during InitializeClientEncoding.
So, I broke this last week by moving GUC processing to after InitPostgres :-(.
What we can do as a compromise is process non-SUSET variables during
command line scanning (the same as before), and postpone the processing
of only SUSET variables. None of the SUSET variables need to be set
before InitPostgres.
fill factor has been exceeded. We usually run with ffactor == 1, but
the way the test was coded, it wouldn't split a bucket until the actual
fill factor reached 2.0, because of use of integer division. Change
from > to >= so that it will split more aggressively when the table
starts to get full.
few cycles during transaction exit. A typical session probably
wouldn't have as many as half a dozen portals open at once, so the
original value of 64 seems far larger than needed.
no need for it to be nearly as big as the global hash table, and since
it's not in shared memory it can grow if it does need to be bigger.
By reducing the size, we speed up hash_seq_search(), which saves a
significant fraction of subtransaction entry/exit overhead.
to the original List; per report from Sebastian BÎck. I think this is
the last such bug --- I examined every lcons() call in the backend and
the rest seem OK --- but it's nervous-making that we're still finding
'em so many months after the List rewrite went in.
collector until the transaction commits. Per recent discussion, this
should avoid confusing autovacuum when an updating transaction runs for
a long time.
this is to avoid scenarios where incoming backends find no live copies
of a database's row because the only live copy is in an as-yet-unwritten
shared buffer, which they can't see. Also, use FlushRelationBuffers()
for forcing out pg_database, instead of the much more expensive BufferSync().
There's no need to write out pages belonging to other relations.
Rather than using ReadBuffer() to increment the reference count on an
already-pinned buffer, we should use IncrBufferRefCount() as it is
faster and does not require acquiring the BufMgrLock.
even uglier than it was already :-(. Also, on Windows only, use temporary
shared memory segments instead of ordinary files to pass over critical
variable values from postmaster to child processes. Magnus Hagander
more than 65K columns, or when the created table has more than 65K columns
due to adding inherited columns from parent relations. Fix a similar
crash when processing SELECT queries with more than 65K target list
entries. In all three cases we would eventually detect the error and
elog, but the check was being made too late.
