Tom Lane 75d5f6fe79 Adjust with-system-tzdata patch to not attempt to install a symlink,
but just hardwire the specified timezone database path into the executable.
Per discussion, this avoids some packaging disadvantages of using a
symlink.

Tom Lane 52a0830c40 Some more tsearch docs work --- sync names with CVS-tip reality, some

Tom Lane 8a5592daf1 Remove option to change parser of an existing text search configuration.
This prevents needing to do complex and poorly-defined updates of the
mapping table if the new parser has different token types than the old.
Per discussion.

Tom Lane 40c1d7c10e Text search doc updates --- first cut at
syncing the existing docs with the final syntax decisions.
2007-08-22 04:45:20 +00:00
Tom Lane d321421d0a Simplify the syntax of CREATE/ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY by treating the
init options of the template as top-level options in the syntax.  This also
makes ALTER a bit easier to use, since options can be replaced individually.
I also made these statements verify that the tmplinit method will accept
the new settings before they get stored; in the original coding you didn't
find out about mistakes until the dictionary got invoked.

Under the hood, init methods now get options as a List of DefElem instead
of a raw text string --- that lets tsearch use existing options-pushing code
instead of duplicating functionality.

Tom Lane 3e3bb36ee9 First rough cut at text search documentation: bare bones reference
pages for the new SQL commands.  I also committed Bruce's text search
introductory chapter, as-is except for fixing some markup errors,
so that there would be a place for the reference pages to link to.

Tom Lane 140d4ebcb4 Tsearch2 functionality migrates to core. The bulk of this work is by
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.

Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.

Andrew Dunstan e1a1da9f4b minor typo fixes in CSVlog docs, per Michael Glaesemann 2007-08-19 03:23:30 +00:00

Andrew Dunstan fd801f4faa Provide for logfiles in machine readable CSV format. In consequence, rename
redirect_stderr to logging_collector.
Original patch from Arul Shaji, subsequently modified by Greg Smith, and then
heavily modified by me.

Bruce Momjian 5ff95e6b8e Add third idea about pulling data from indexes.

>   changes during the heap scan a counter could be set at the start and

Tom Lane b83bd31bd9 TEMPORARILY make synchronous_commit default to OFF, so that we can get more
thorough testing of async-commit mode from the buildfarm.  This patch MUST
get reverted before 8.3 release!

Tom Lane a44af6df85 Document that the regexp split functions ignore zero-length matches in
certain corner cases.  Per discussion, the code does what we want, but
it really needs to be documented that these functions act differently
from regexp_matches.
2007-08-13 01:18:47 +00:00
Tom Lane 1b70619311 Code review for regexp_matches/regexp_split patch. Refactor to avoid assuming
that cached compiled patterns will still be there when the function is next
called.  Clean up looping logic, thereby fixing bug identified by Pavel
Stehule.  Share setup code between the two functions, add some comments, and
avoid risky mixing of int and size_t variables.  Clean up the documentation a
tad, and accept all the flag characters mentioned in table 9-19 rather than
just a subset.

Tom Lane bdd6b62245 Switch over to using the src/timezone functions for formatting timestamps
displayed in the postmaster log.  This avoids Windows-specific problems with
localized time zone names that are in the wrong encoding, and generally seems
like a good idea to forestall other potential platform-dependent issues.
To preserve the existing behavior that all backends will log in the same time
zone, create a new GUC variable log_timezone that can only be changed on a
system-wide basis, and reference log-related calculations to that zone instead
of the TimeZone variable.

This fixes the issue reported by Hiroshi Saito that timestamps printed by
xlog.c startup could be improperly localized on Windows.  We still need a
simpler patch for that problem in the back branches, however.

Magnus Hagander 3f0245cb24 Update supported standalone VC++ version to 7.1+ only, and fix

Per request from Hiroshi Saito.

Andrew Dunstan 63872601e8 Move session_start out of MyProcPort stucture and make it a global called MyStartTime,
so that we will be able to create a cookie for all processes for CSVlogs.
It is set wherever MyProcPid is set. Take the opportunity to remove the now
unnecessary session-only restriction on the %s and %c escapes in log_line_prefix.

Bruce Momjian c441e26ee8 Done:
< * Allow buffered WAL writes and fsync
2007-08-01 23:13:31 +00:00
Tom Lane 4a78cdeb6b Support an optional asynchronous commit mode, in which we don't flush WAL
before reporting a transaction committed.  Data consistency is still
guaranteed (unlike setting fsync = off), but a crash may lose the effects
of the last few transactions.  Patch by Simon, some editorialization by Tom.

Neil Conway b2b9b4d59c Implement RETURN QUERY for PL/PgSQL. This provides some convenient syntax
sugar for PL/PgSQL set-returning functions that want to return the result
of evaluating a query; it should also be more efficient than repeated
RETURN NEXT statements. Based on an earlier patch from Pavel Stehule.
2007-07-25 04:19:09 +00:00
Tom Lane ad4295728e Create a new dedicated Postgres process, "wal writer", which exists to write
and fsync WAL at convenient intervals.  For the moment it just tries to
offload this work from backends, but soon it will be responsible for
guaranteeing a maximum delay before asynchronously-committed transactions
will be flushed to disk.

This is a portion of Simon Riggs' async-commit patch, committed to CVS
separately because a background WAL writer seems like it might be a good idea
independently of the async-commit feature.  I rebased walwriter.c on
bgwriter.c because it seemed like a more appropriate way of handling signals;
while the startup/shutdown logic in postmaster.c is more like autovac because
we want walwriter to quit before we start the shutdown checkpoint.

Alvaro Herrera 53d2951be7 Set a default autovacuum vacuum_cost_delay value of 20ms, to avoid excessive
I/O utilization, per discussion.

While at it, lower the autovacuum vacuum and analyze threshold values to 50
tuples.  It is a bit higher (i.e. more conservative) than what I originally
proposed but much better than the old values for small tables.
