Neil Conway 4744c1a0a1 Complete the following TODO items:
* 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.

Tom Lane 893b57c871 Alter the signature for encoding conversion functions to declare the
output area as INTERNAL not CSTRING.  This is to prevent people from
calling the functions by hand.  This is a permanent solution for the
back branches but I hope it is just a stopgap for HEAD.

Neil Conway b656150ec0 Add some missing "See Also" entries to the domain-related SQL reference
pages. From Robert Treat.

Neil Conway f478856c7f Change SPI functions to use a `long' when specifying the number of tuples
to produce when running the executor. This is consistent with the internal
executor APIs (such as ExecutorRun), which also use a long for this purpose.
It also allows FETCH_ALL to be passed -- since FETCH_ALL is defined as
LONG_MAX, this wouldn't have worked on platforms where int and long are of
different sizes. Per report from Tzahi Fadida.

Tom Lane 6c412f0605 Change CREATE TYPE to require datatype output and send functions to have
only one argument.  (Per recent discussion, the option to accept multiple
arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely
source of security holes if it was used.)  Simplify call sites of
output/send functions to not bother passing more than one argument.

Bruce Momjian daec16d0ba Done:
> * -Implement shared row locks and use them in RI triggers
2005-04-29 05:03:02 +00:00
Tom Lane bedb78d386 Implement sharable row-level locks, and use them for foreign key references
to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks.  This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE
paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE.  The implementation uses a new SLRU
data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple-
transaction-ID sets.  When more than one transaction is holding a shared
lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set
of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX.  This scheme allows
an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before,
while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually
has to be shared.   Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control
the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock.

Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.

Bruce Momjian 7a4c34c97c Add description for concurrent sequential scans:
>   One possible implementation is to start sequential scans from the lowest
>   numbered buffer in the shared cache, and when reaching the end wrap
>   around to the beginning, rather than always starting sequential scans
>   at the start of the table.
