Bruce Momjian 5ff9566686 Remove postgresql.conf of 'info' as a valid client_min_messages level. 2004-07-11 21:48:25 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 130f89e93f Allow configuration files to be placed outside the data directory.
Add new postgresql.conf variables to point to data, pg_hba.conf, and
pg_ident.conf files.

Needs more documentation.

OK, here is a patch that implements #1.  Here is sample output:

        test=> set client_min_messages = 'log';
        SET
        test=> set log_statement = 'mod';
        SET
        test=> select 1;
         ?column?
        ----------
                1
        (1 row)

        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test from '/tmp/x';
        LOG:  statement: copy test from '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test to  '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> prepare xx as select 1;
        PREPARE
        test=> prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        LOG:  statement: prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        ERROR:  relation "x" does not exist
        test=> explain analyze select 1;;
                                             QUERY PLAN

        test=> explain analyze update test set x=1;

It checks PREPARE and EXECUTE ANALYZE too.  The log_statement values are
'none', 'mod', 'ddl', and 'all'.  For 'all', it prints before the query
is parsed, and for ddl/mod, it does it right after parsing using the
node tag (or command tag for CREATE/ALTER/DROP), so any non-parse errors
will print after the log line.

Tom Lane 8899a2aba9 Replace max_expr_depth parameter with a max_stack_depth parameter that
is measured in kilobytes and checked against actual physical execution
stack depth, as per my proposal of 30-Dec.  This gives us a fairly
bulletproof defense against crashing due to runaway recursive functions.

Tom Lane 2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified

Tom Lane 391c3811a2 Rename SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem.
Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.

Jan Wieck d77b63b17c Added GUC variable bgwriter_flush_method controlling the action
done by the background writer between writing dirty blocks and
napping.

    none (default)   no action
	sync             bgwriter calls smgrsync() causing a sync(2)

A global sync() is only good on dedicated database servers, so
more flush methods should be added in the future.

Tom Lane 3969f2924b Revise GEQO planner to make use of some heuristic knowledge about SQL, namely
that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there
are not.  Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't
fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins.  These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4.  Consequently,
adjust the default GEQO parameters.  I also modified the way geqo_effort is
used so that it affects both population size and number of generations;
it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality
tradeoff.  Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO
seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.
2004-01-23 23:54:21 +00:00
Tom Lane 672a807028 Repair error apparently introduced in the initial coding of GUC: the
default value for geqo_effort is supposed to be 40, not 1.  The actual
'genetic' component of the GEQO algorithm has been practically disabled
since 7.1 because of this mistake.  Improve documentation while at it.
2004-01-21 23:33:34 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 7ce9b7c0d8 This patch adds a new GUC var, "default_with_oids", which follows the
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

of function bodies is done at CREATE FUNCTION time.  This is normally

need to adjust pg_dump to make use of it.

Tom Lane 48beecda7c Remove geqo_random_seed parameter. Having geqo reset the global random()
sequence every time it's called is bogus --- it interferes with user
control over the seed, and actually decreases randomness overall
(because a seed based on time(NULL) is pretty predictable).  If you really
want a reproducible result from geqo, do 'set seed = 0' before planning
a query.

Tom Lane f63cbccac7 Mop-up for previous change to determine default shared_buffers and

defaults into postgresql.conf.sample.
2003-08-26 15:38:25 +00:00
Bruce Momjian d4be99f63d (I always forget what the magic numbers 0 through 2 means for the
"syslog" option.)

By the way: The "virtual_host" parameter is a bad name for that
particular option, I think. "Virtual host" signals that PostgreSQL will
behave differently according to which IP address it's contacted (like
Apache's virtual host support which makes the web-server serve different
sites according to different criteria). A better word for the options
would be "tcpip_listen_addr" or something like that.

Tom Lane 9c2a7c2269 Apply (a somewhat revised version of) Greg Mullane's patch to eliminate
heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input.  Add the
ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which
formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31).  DateStyle's input
component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older
keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these.
Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.

Tom Lane de98a7e23a The default values for shared_buffers and max_connections are now 1000
and 100 respectively, if the platform will allow it.  initdb selects
values that are not too large to allow the postmaster to start, and
places these values in the installed postgresql.conf file.  This allows
us to continue to start up out-of-the-box on platforms with small SHMMAX,
while having somewhat-realistic default settings on platforms with
reasonable SHMMAX.  Per recent pghackers discussion.

Here is a patch for the above, including a documentation update. It
creates a new GUC variable "preload_libraries", that accepts a list in
the form:

   preload_libraries = '$libdir/mylib1:initfunc,$libdir/mylib2'

If ":initfunc" is omitted or not found, no initialization function is
executed, but the library is still preloaded. If "$libdir/mylib" isn't
found, the postmaster refuses to start.

In my testing with PL/R, it reduces the first call to a PL/R function
(after connecting) from almost 2 seconds, down to about 8 ms.

Tom Lane 391eb5e5b6 Reimplement free-space-map management as per recent discussions.
Adjustable threshold is gone in favor of keeping track of total requested
page storage and doling out proportional fractions to each relation
(with a minimum amount per relation, and some quantization of the results
to avoid thrashing with small changes in page counts).  Provide special-
case code for indexes so as not to waste space storing useless page
free space counts.  Restructure internal data storage to be a flat array
instead of list-of-chunks; this may cost a little more work in data
copying when reorganizing, but allows binary search to be used during
lookup_fsm_page_entry().

Tom Lane 9f5f212475 Allow the planner to collapse explicit inner JOINs together, rather than
necessarily following the JOIN syntax to develop the query plan.  The old
behavior is still available by setting GUC variable JOIN_COLLAPSE_LIMIT
to 1.  Also create a GUC variable FROM_COLLAPSE_LIMIT to control the
similar decision about when to collapse sub-SELECT lists into their parent
lists.  (This behavior existed already, but the limit was always
GEQO_THRESHOLD/2; now it's separately adjustable.)
