Jan Wieck 0143d391c6 Need to switch to tuples memory context when replacing the toasted
one with the plain one.

Jan Wieck 82f3945a67 Temporary fix to make TOAST vacuum-safe. All values are forced to be
in memory (plain or compressed) in the tuple returned from the heap-am.
So no index will ever contain an external reference.

Tom Lane 9e85183bfc Major overhaul of btree index code. Eliminate special BTP_CHAIN logic for
duplicate keys by letting search go to the left rather than right when an
equal key is seen at an upper tree level.  Fix poor choice of page split
point (leading to insertion failures) that was forced by chaining logic.
Don't store leftmost key in non-leaf pages, since it's not necessary.
Don't create root page until something is first stored in the index, so an
unused index is now 8K not 16K.  (Doesn't seem to be as easy to get rid of
the metadata page, unfortunately.)  Massive cleanup of unreadable code,
fix poor, obsolete, and just plain wrong documentation and comments.
See src/backend/access/nbtree/README for the gory details.

Jan Wieck 9b0fe4eee2 Fixed memory allocation problems when compressing multi-MB
items. Lookup history is now a double linked list, used in
a wrap-around style.

Peter Eisentraut 6a00a7eb72 Don't need this anymore. It's now handled in the Makefile. 2000-07-19 22:47:13 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 32163099d7 Add distprep target to take some of the job of the release_prep script.
The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.

Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.

Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.

Jan Wieck 79e6648649 Added untrusted PL/TclU (pltclu) language. Executes all procedures
in a non-safe interpreter, so with full OS access! Language is
restricted to be used by DB superusers.

Added "argisnull n" and "return_null" commands to gain full control
over NULL values from new FMGR capabilities.

Tom Lane ba930a016c Add an opr_sanity check for misdefined aggregates that have transition
type different from input type but are expecting ExecAgg to insert the
first non-null input as the starting transition value.  This has always
been verboten, but wasn't checked for until now...
2000-07-18 05:02:19 +00:00
Tom Lane 8b1b34f6c0 Update pltcl regress test's expected output for 7.0 psql output format.
NOTE: this implementation of tcl_avg() fails with 'divide by zero'
for zero input rows.  It ought to return NULL, but pltcl does not
currently provide a way to do that, so I'm leaving the problem unsolved
for now.

Tom Lane d0ca92cb53 Correct erroneous explanation of DEADLOCK_TIMEOUT configuration setting. 2000-07-17 22:32:44 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 44eaafe3f8 End users shouldn't have to invoke a separate command to install the
documentation. Therefore it's now installed by default. If there is no
documentation to be found (i.e., you are not using the distribution)
then this step is skipped.

Add --docdir option to configure to control installation directory.

Peter Eisentraut 5da7e533f7 Don't strip trailing backslashes from a line. Treat them more reasonably. 2000-07-17 18:24:33 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 4fa37381f1 Update TODO list. 2000-07-17 13:23:18 +00:00
Tom Lane ba87ab548e I concur with Andreas: unconditionally including <sys/fcntl.h> is not
portable.  Seems to have been added for O_BINARY, which is only needed
for __CYGWIN32__, so include it here only in that case.

Tom Lane 436d04435d Stat functions now in main system, contrib code no longer needed. 2000-07-17 03:55:43 +00:00
Tom Lane d06ebdb8d3 Update aggregate-function docs for STDDEV, VARIANCE. 2000-07-17 03:52:28 +00:00
Tom Lane bec98a31c5 Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner.  Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.

Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default.  Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...

Tom Lane 139f19c302 update pltcl test to have at least some chance of running ... still
seems to be busted though ...
2000-07-17 02:22:50 +00:00
Tom Lane a2c6bf5a59 pltcl seems to be broken on HPUX with recent Tcl versions, because
link needs to specify -lc but doesn't.  Quick hack to make it better.
2000-07-17 01:26:42 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 8a70a1c75d Hmm. I didn't expect a change since I hadn't added tests for the new
stuff, but fixing the bug that existed in reporting the constraint name
changes the error line.  Patch to expected output enclosed.

shell scripts. Rename bsd->openbsd, alpha->osf.

Bruce Momjian 739a0566a6 This should be a slighly more complete patch for commands/command.c
AlterTableAddConstraint.  The major changes from the last patch
are that it should hopefully check for references to temp tables
(not in the shadow case, but at defination time) from permanent tables in
foreign keys and refuse them and that it doesn't allow the table(s)
being constrained to be views (because those cases don't currently
work).
