c_expr. Perhaps the restriction was once needed to avoid bison errors,
but it seems to work just fine now --- and even generates a slightly
smaller state machine. This change allows examples like
SELECT '13:45'::timetz AT TIME ZONE '-07:00'::interval;
to work without parentheses around the right-hand input.
code in prepqual.c had a small drawback: the flatten_andors code was
able to cope with deeply nested AND/OR structures (like 10000 ORs in
a row), whereas eval_const_expressions tends to recurse until it
overruns the stack. Revise eval_const_expressions so that it doesn't
choke on deeply nested ANDs or ORs.
make some estimate of which available indexes to AND together, rather
than blindly taking 'em all. This could probably stand further
improvement, but it seems to do OK in simple tests.
but the code is basically working. Along the way, rewrite the entire
approach to processing OR index conditions, and make it work in join
cases for the first time ever. orindxpath.c is now basically obsolete,
but I left it in for the time being to allow easy comparison testing
against the old implementation.
logic operations during planning. Seems cleaner to create two new Path
node types, instead --- this avoids duplication of cost-estimation code.
Also, create an enable_bitmapscan GUC parameter to control use of bitmap
plans.
scans, using in-memory tuple ID bitmaps as the intermediary. The planner
frontend (path creation and cost estimation) is not there yet, so none
of this code can be executed. I have tested it using some hacked planner
code that is far too ugly to see the light of day, however. Committing
now so that the bulk of the infrastructure changes go in before the tree
drifts under me.
* Changes the APIs to the timezone functions to take a pg_tz pointer as
an argument, representing the timezone to use for the selected
operation.
* Adds a global_timezone variable that represents the current timezone
in the backend as set by SET TIMEZONE (or guc, or env, etc).
* Implements a hash-table cache of loaded tables, so we don't have to
read and parse the TZ file everytime we change a timezone. While not
necesasry now (we don't change timezones very often), I beleive this
will be necessary (or at least good) when "multiple timezones in the
same query" is eventually implemented. And code-wise, this was the time
to do it.
There are no user-visible changes at this time. Implementing the
"multiple zones in one query" is a later step...
This also gets rid of some of the cruft needed to "back out a timezone
change", since we previously couldn't check a timezone unless it was
activated first.
Passes regression tests on win32, linux (slackware 10) and solaris x86.

return just a single tuple at a time. Currently the only such node
type is Hash, but I expect we will soon have indexscans that can return
tuple bitmaps. A side benefit is that EXPLAIN ANALYZE now shows the
correct tuple count for a Hash node.
critical and noncritical contexts (an example of noncritical being
post-checkpoint removal of dead xlog segments). In the critical cases
the CRIT_SECTION mechanism will cause ERROR to be promoted to PANIC
anyway, and in the noncritical cases we shouldn't let an error take
down the entire database. Arguably there should be *no* explicit
PANIC errors in this module, only more START/END_CRIT_SECTION calls,
but I didn't go that far. (Yet.)

The former behavior searched from the same start point each time,
requiring O(checkpoint_segments^2) stat() calls to relocate all the
segments. Instead keep track of where we stopped last time through.
which induced bug #1597 in addition to having several other misbehaviors
(like labeling the dump with a completion time having nothing to do with
reality). Instead just print out the desired strings where RestoreArchive
was already emitting the 'PostgreSQL database dump' and
'PostgreSQL database dump complete' strings.
assuming comparison of atttypid is sufficient. In a dropped column
atttypid will be 0, and we'd better check the physical-storage data
to make sure the tupdescs are physically compatible.
I do not believe there is a real risk before 8.0, since before that
we only used this routine to compare successive states of the tupdesc
for a particular relation. But 8.0's typcache.c might be comparing
arbitrary tupdescs so we'd better play it safer.
whose keys are OIDs. The only one that looks particularly performance
critical is the relcache hashtable, but as long as we've got the function
we may as well use it wherever it's applicable.
indexes. Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open
and index_open. Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in
various places. Remove relcache's support for looking up system
catalogs by name. Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...
indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info
about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap
code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small
number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete
set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will
get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes;
but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a
good place to commit.
Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be
'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired
entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not
sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap
relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.
avoid encroaching on the 'user' range of OIDs by allowing automatic
OID assignment to use values below 16k until we reach normal operation.
initdb not forced since this doesn't make any incompatible change;
however a lot of stuff will have different OIDs after your next initdb.
of just a relation OID, thereby not having to open the relation for itself.
This actually saves code rather than adding it for most of the existing
callers, which had the rel open already. The main point though is to be
able to use this rather than plain addRangeTableEntry in setTargetTable,
thus saving one relation_openrv/relation_close cycle for every INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE. Seems to provide a several percent win on simple
INSERTs.
genbki.sh's pool (10000-16383) instead of being run-time assigned by
heap_insert. Might as well use the pool as long as it's there ...
I was a bit bemused to realize that it hadn't been in use at all since 7.2.
initdb not forced since this doesn't really affect anything. The OIDs
of casts and system indexes will change next time you do one, though.
and PL languages during initdb. The default permissions for these objects
are the same as what we were assigning anyway, so there is no need to
expend space in the catalogs on them. The space cost is particularly
significant in pg_proc's indexes, which are bloated by about a factor of 2
by the full-table update, and can never really recover the space.
initdb not forced, since the change has no actual impact on behavior.

too. Add specialized min/max aggregates for bpchar, instead of depending
on text's min/max, because otherwise the possible use of bpchar indexes
cannot be recognized.

int4 and text datatypes; next step is to add a column to pg_aggregate
so that all MIN/MAX aggregates can be handled. Per my recent proposal.

Add a regression test to help spot trouble in this area in future.

grouping. The function needs an annoyingly large number of parameters,
but this still seems like a win for legibility, since it removes over
a hundred lines from grouping_planner (which is still too big :-().
the long-term plan for this behavior for quite some time, but it is only
possible now that DELETE has a USING clause so that the user can join
other tables in a DELETE statement without relying on this behavior.
