Tom Lane a7335a3401 Update supported-platforms list. 2005-10-28 20:01:40 +00:00
Tom Lane 65a99590ab Fix broken markup. 2005-10-28 20:00:03 +00:00
Tom Lane a037926295 Reorder code so that we don't have to hold a critical section while
reserving SLRU space for a new MultiXact.  The original coding would have
treated out-of-disk-space as a PANIC condition, which is unnecessary.

Tom Lane a7de22d8d5 Clean up AIX build to avoid 'duplicate symbol' warnings, by moving use
of postgres.imp file into BE_DLLLIBS macro.  This makes the AIX build
work more like the Windows and Darwin builds, which have similar requirements
to mention a backend library when linking shared libraries that will be
dynamically loaded into the backend.

Tom Lane 1986ca5ce5 Fix race condition in multixact code: it's possible to try to read a
multixact's starting offset before the offset has been stored into the
SLRU file.  A simple fix would be to hold the MultiXactGenLock until the
offset has been stored, but that looks like a big concurrency hit.  Instead
rely on knowledge that unset offsets will be zero, and loop when we see
a zero.  This requires a little extra hacking to ensure that zero is never
a valid value for the offset.  Problem reported by Matteo Beccati, fix
ideas from Martijn van Oosterhout, Alvaro Herrera, and Tom Lane.

Bruce Momjian fbff2e9607 Remove mention that \x doesn't affect backslash commands. 2005-10-28 02:39:07 +00:00
Tom Lane 97b8013db5 Add an ifneq to avoid make warning on AIX --- there is a separate rule
for postgres: on line 86, and line 43 shouldn't be used.  Noted while
looking at kookaburra buildfarm results.

Tom Lane fbbe00242d Tweak buffer manager so that 'internal' accesses to a buffer do not
advance its usage_count.  This includes writes of dirty buffers triggered
by bgwriter, checkpoint, or FlushRelationBuffers, as well as various
corner cases that really ought not count as accesses to the page.
Should make for some marginal improvement in the quality of our decisions
about when to recycle buffers.  Per suggestion from ITAGAKI Takahiro.

Bruce Momjian 3332e38189 Disable expanded mode only for \d tablename, not for all backslash
commands.  Per complaint that \df+ is clearer in expanded mode.

Bruce Momjian 69f16b562a Add comment documenting actual failure case of using
interval_justify_hours in timestamp subtraction.  TODO already has text

>
> 	  Currently, subtracting one date from another that crosses a
> 	  daylight savings time adjustment can return '1 day 1 hour', but
> 	  adding that back to the first date returns a time one hour in
> 	  the future.  This is caused by the adjustment of '25 hours' to

> 	  if daylight savings adjustments are involved.

> 	o Fix interval display to support values exceeding 2^31 hours
> 	o Add overflow checking to timestamp and interval arithmetic

Tom Lane 4a309defb4 Add info about using rsync to make base backups. Per report from
Jeff Frost, it may be necessary to ignore specific exit codes.

Tom Lane fc5894bf77 Adjust parser so that POSTQUEL-style implicit RTEs are stored with
inFromCl true, meaning that they will list out as explicit RTEs if they
are in a view or rule.  Update comments about inFromCl to reflect the way
it's now actually used.  Per recent discussion.

Tom Lane ddb4015ec0 Fix longstanding bug that would sometimes let the planner generate a bad plan
for an outer join; symptom is bogus error "RIGHT JOIN is only supported with
merge-joinable join conditions".  Problem was that select_mergejoin_clauses
did its tests in the wrong order.  We need to force left join not right join
for a merge join when there are non-mergeable join clauses; but the test for
this only accounted for mergejoinability of the clause operator, and not
whether the left and right Vars were of the proper relations.  Per report
from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.

Tom Lane 602007842c Convert explanation of interval change into something resembling grammatical
English, and fix the incorrect example.
2005-10-25 17:54:30 +00:00
Tom Lane 6a9b93a0e1 Remove justify_hours call from interval_mul and interval_div, and make
some small stylistic improvements in these functions.  Also fix several
places where TMODULO() was being used with wrong-sized quotient argument,
creating a risk of overflow --- interval2tm was actually capable of going
into an infinite loop because of this.

Tom Lane c78f3039f2 Small grammar correction. 2005-10-25 15:47:51 +00:00
Tom Lane 25777f6fd3 Fix Windows setitimer() emulation to not depend on delivering an APC
to the main thread.  This allows removal of WaitForSingleObjectEx() calls
from the main thread, thereby allowing us to re-enable Qingqing Zhou's
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS performance improvement.  Qingqing, Magnus, et al.

Bruce Momjian 42b689aed4 More forcefully recommend MD5 over crypt authentication. 2005-10-24 15:49:54 +00:00
Andrew Dunstan 24fa8746ae Fix incorrect wording about function failure time on unsafe ops - these
are now caught by the validator. And a small visit from the perl style police:
check the return value from open().
2005-10-24 15:39:50 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 819159709f I have applied the following patch to document PQinitSSL() and
PQregisterThreadLock().

I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.

I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().

Tom Lane 18feafcc59 Ensure that a plpgsql LOOP with an empty body still executes at least
one CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call, so that you can control-C out of the
loop.  Reported by Merlin Moncure.

Tom Lane 7d3ab8ac55 A bit of minor copy-editing. 2005-10-23 19:29:49 +00:00
Tom Lane 55337e40b3 I've confirmed 8.1beta4 passes regression tests on all hardware platforms
of RHEL 4.  Update supported-platforms list accordingly.

Tom Lane c3a7b0577b Add a note about GNU tar's propensity to complain if a file changes
while tar is copying it.  This behavior is unhelpful when taking a base
backup.  Per gripe from Pallav Kalva back in April.

Tom Lane 96b85f1ccb Fix documentation to specify the correct range of timezone offsets for
type time with time zone, ie, +/- 13:59 not +/- 12:00.  Also some minor
wording improvements.
2005-10-22 19:33:57 +00:00
Tom Lane 4d20df3c78 Temporarily disable Qingqing's Windows signal processing patch, so that
WaitForSingleObjectEx is always called by CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS.  This
should be reinstated but the setitimer() emulation will have to be
redesigned first.
2005-10-22 17:09:48 +00:00
Alvaro Herrera 63aa492466 Fix typo. 2005-10-22 14:44:35 +00:00
Andrew Dunstan 188c52497d minor code cleanup - replace useless struct timezone argument to
gettimeofday with NULL in a few places, making it consistent with
usage elsewhere.

Tom Lane 6aad07d270 Improve performance of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() macro on Windows by not doing
a kernel call unless there's some evidence of a pending signal.  This should
bring its performance on Windows into line with the Unix version.  Problem
diagnosis and patch by Qingqing Zhou.  Minor stylistic tweaks by moi ...
if it's broken, it's my fault.
2005-10-21 21:43:46 +00:00
Tom Lane fdff883aca Clean up autovacuum documentation, which was a bit out of sync with what
the code actually does, and needed copy-editing anyway.  Also take the
opportunity to expand the section on routine reindexing.

Tom Lane 9fc24f2bf6 Fix EXPLAIN ANALYZE bug noted by Wiebe Cazemier: although we were
properly advancing the CommandCounter between multiple sub-queries
generated by rules, we forgot to update the snapshot being used, so
that the successive sub-queries didn't actually see each others'
results.  This is still not *exactly* like the semantics of normal
execution of the same queries, in that we don't take new transaction
snapshots and hence don't see changes from concurrently committed
commands, but I think that's OK and probably even preferable for
EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

Tom Lane ef3b7cd328 Add an implicit cast from varchar to regclass, so that existing code
of the form nextval('foo'::varchar) doesn't break.  Per gripe from
Jean-Pierre Pelletier.  Initdb forced :-(

Tom Lane 5aad28a104 Add missing PQinitSSL and PQregisterThreadLock to exports.txt. 2005-10-21 15:21:21 +00:00
