since these seem to happen after all in corrupted indexes. Make sure we
supply the index name in all cases, and provide relevant block numbers where
available. Also consistently identify the index name as such.
Back-patch to 8.2, in hopes that this might help Mason Hale figure out his
problem.
Applied patch send by ITAGAKI Takahiro <itagaki.takahiro@oss.ntt.co.jp> to fix bug in connect statement if user name is a variable.
Also fixed test case that didn't detect this.
were reporting ERROR for interactive assignments and LOG for other cases,
some were saying nothing for non-interactive cases, and a few did yet other
things. Make them use a new function GUC_complaint_elevel() to establish
a reasonably uniform policy about how to report. There are still a few
edge cases such as assign_search_path(), but it's much better than before.
Per gripe from Devrim Gunduz and subsequent discussion.
As noted by Alvaro, it'd be better to fold these custom messages into the
standard "invalid parameter value" complaint from guc.c, perhaps as the DETAIL
field. However that will require more redesign than seems prudent for 8.3.
This is a relatively safe, low-impact change that we can afford to risk now.
COPY. We need a restriction here because when the delimiter occurs as a
data character, it is emitted with a backslash, and that will only work
as desired if CopyReadAttributesText() will interpret the backslash sequence
as representing the second character literally. This is currently untrue
for 'b', 'f', 'n', 'r', 't', 'v', 'x', and octal digits. For future-proofing
and simplicity of explanation, it seems best to disallow a-z and 0-9.
We must also disallow dot, since "\." by itself would look like copy EOF.
Note: "\N" is by default the null print string, so N would also cause a
problem, but that is already tested for.
CopyAttributeOutText(), so that control characters are converted to the
C-style escape sequences even if they happen to be equal to the column
delimiter (as is true by default for tab, for example). Oversight in my
previous patch to restore pre-8.3 behavior of COPY OUT escaping. Per report
from Tomas Szepe.
print the index key variable or expression for that column. It was mistakenly
printing ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LAST decoration too --- and not only for
the target column, but all columns. Someday we should have an option to
extract that info (and the opclass decoration as well) for a single index
column ... but today is not that day. Per bug #3829 and subsequent
discussion.
The zero-point case is sensible so far as the data structure is concerned,
so maybe we ought to allow it sometime; but right now the textual input
routines for these types don't allow it, and it seems that not all the
functions for the types are prepared to cope.
Report and patch by Merlin Moncure.
psql's \d commands and other uses of printQuery(). Previously we would pass
these strings through gettext() and then send them to the server as literals
in the SQL query. But the code was not set up to handle doubling of quotes in
the strings, causing failure if a translation attempted to use the wrong kind
of quote marks, as indeed is now the case for (at least) the French
translation of \dFp. Another hazard was that gettext() would translate to
whatever encoding was implied by the client's LC_CTYPE setting, which might be
different from the client_encoding setting, which would probably cause the
server to reject the query as mis-encoded. The new arrangement is to send the
untranslated ASCII strings to the server, and do the translations inside
printQuery() after the query results come back. Per report from Guillaume
Lelarge and subsequent discussion.
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U. (Eventually
we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should
not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.)
Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore. Per gripe from Robert Treat and
subsequent discussion.
with the logged event. CSV logs are now a first-class citizen along plain
text logs in that they carry much of the same information.
Per complaint from depesz on bug #3799.
PQconnectionNeedsPassword function that tells the right thing for whether to
prompt for a password, and improve PQconnectionUsedPassword so that it checks
whether the password used by the connection was actually supplied as a
connection argument, instead of coming from environment or a password file.
Per bug report from Mark Cave-Ayland and subsequent discussion.
the two join variables at both ends: not only trailing rows that need not be
scanned because there cannot be a match on the other side, but initial rows
that will be scanned without possibly having a match. This allows a more
realistic estimate of startup cost to be made, per recent pgsql-performance
discussion. In passing, fix a couple of bugs that had crept into
mergejoinscansel: it was not quite up to speed for the task of estimating
descending-order scans, which is a new requirement in 8.3.
indexable-clauses list for a btree index. Formerly it just Asserted that
all such clauses were opclauses, but that's no longer true in 8.3.
Per bug #3796 from Matthias Schoeneich.
namely that \r, \n, \t, \b, \f, \v are dumped as those two-character
representations rather than a backslash and the literal control character.
I had made it do the other to save some code, but this was ill-advised,
because dump files in which these characters appear literally are prone to
newline mangling. Fortunately, doing it the old way should only cost a few
more lines of code, and not slow down the copy loop materially.
Per bug #3795 from Lou Duchez.
constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other
small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed. Allow INCLUDING INDEXES
indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful,
but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty
unorthogonal). Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt(). Undo some
poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem
to be better places for them.
