and inet_server_addr() fail if the client connected over a "scoped" IPv6
address. In this case getnameinfo() will return a string ending with
a poorly-standardized "%something" zone specifier, which these functions
try to feed to network_in(), which won't take it. So that we don't lose
functionality altogether, suppress the zone specifier before giving the
string to network_in(). Per report from Brian Hirt.
TODO: probably someday the inet type should support scoped IPv6 addresses,
and then this patch should be reverted.
Backpatch to 8.2 ... is it worth going further?
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

already collected in the current transaction; this allows plpgsql functions to
watch for stats updates even though they are confined to a single transaction.
Use this instead of the previous kluge involving pg_stat_file() to wait for
the stats collector to update in the stats regression test. Internally,
decouple storage of stats snapshots from transaction boundaries; they'll
now stick around until someone calls pgstat_clear_snapshot --- which xact.c
still does at transaction end, to maintain the previous behavior. This makes
the logic a lot cleaner, at the price of a couple dozen cycles per transaction
exit.
The purpose is to allow autovacuum-esq conditional vacuuming and
clustering using SQL to discover the required stats.
No documentation updates required. Catalog version updated.

identify long-running transactions. Since we already need to record
the transaction-start time (e.g. for now()), we don't need any
additional system calls to report this information.
Catversion bumped, initdb required.
that ps_status provides by appending 'waiting' to the PS display. This
completes the project of making it feasible to turn off process title
updates and instead rely on pg_stat_activity. Per my suggestion a few
weeks ago.
current commands; instead, store current-status information in shared
memory. This substantially reduces the overhead of stats_command_string
and also ensures that pg_stat_activity is fully up to date at all times.
Per my recent proposal.
issued by autovacuum. Add accessor functions to them, and use those in the
pg_stat_*_tables system views.
Catalog version bumped due to changes in the pgstat views and the pgstat file.
Patch from Larry Rosenman, minor improvements by me.
current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns
current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t
and microseconds fields. This is what all the callers really want
anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime,
which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.
and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this
patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for
instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can
make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should
be pretty much done.
collector messages, per recent discussion on pgsql-patches. This
actually required quite a few changes -- for example,
"databaseid != InvalidOid" was used to check whether a slot in the
backend entry table was initialized, but that no longer works since
the slot might be initialized prior to receiving the BESTART message
which contains the database id. We now use procpid > 0 to indicate
that a slot is non-empty.
Other changes:
- various comment improvements and cleanups
- there's no need to zero-out the entire activity buffer in
pgstat_add_backend(), we can just set activity[0] to '\0'.
- remove the counting of the # of connections to a database; this
was not used anywhere
One change in behavior I wasn't sure about: previously, the code
would create a hash table entry for a database as soon as any message
was received whose header referenced that database. Now, we only
create hash table entries as needed (so for example BESTART won't
create a database hash table entry, since it doesn't need to
access anything in the per-db hash table). It would be easy enough
to retain the old behavior, but AFAICS it is not required.
* Add session start time to pg_stat_activity
* Add the client IP address and port to pg_stat_activity
Original patch from Magnus Hagander, code review by Neil Conway. Catalog
version bumped. This patch sends the client IP address and port number in
every statistics message; that's not ideal, but will be fixed up shortly.
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
This seems the cleanest way of fixing its lack of a shutdown callback,
which was preventing it from working correctly in a query that didn't
run it to completion. Per bug report from Szima GÄbor.
