Basically, we want to distinguish all cases where the connection was
not made from those where it was. A convenient proxy for this is to
see if we got a message with a SQLSTATE code back from the postmaster.
This presumes that the postmaster will always send us a SQLSTATE in
a failure message, which is true for 7.4 and later postmasters in
every case except fork failure. (We could possibly complicate the
postmaster code to do something about that, but it seems not worth
the trouble, especially since pg_ctl's response for that case should
be to keep waiting anyway.)
If we did get a SQLSTATE from the postmaster, there are basically only
two cases, as per last week's discussion: ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW
and everything else. Any other error code implies that the postmaster
is in principle willing to accept connections, it just didn't like or
couldn't handle this particular request. We want to make a special
case for ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW so that "pg_ctl start -w" knows
it should keep waiting.
In passing, pick names for the enum constants that are a tad less
likely to present collision hazards in future.
1. Don't #include postgres.h in a frontend build.
2. Don't assume that the backend's symbol PGSQL_AF_INET6 has anything to do
with the constant that will be used by system library functions (because,
in point of fact, it usually doesn't). Fortunately, PGSQL_AF_INET is equal
to AF_INET, so we can just cater for both sets of values in one case
construct without fear of conflict.
This adds support for changing the schema of a conversion, operator,
operator class, operator family, text search configuration, text search
dictionary, text search parser, or text search template.
Dimitri Fontaine, with assorted corrections and other kibitzing.
Most of the functions that execute XPath queries leaked the data structures
created by libxml2. This memory would not be recovered until end of
session, so it mounts up pretty quickly in any serious use of the feature.
Per report from Pavel Stehule, though this isn't his patch.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
status, including a status where the server is running but refuses a
postgres connection.
Have pg_ctl use this new function. This fixes the case where pg_ctl
reports that the server is not running (cannot connect) but in fact it
is running.
After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security
or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider
could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created
objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types
of events that might require similar treatment.
KaiGai Kohei, with minor adjustments.
Forcibly releasing all leftover buffer pins should be unnecessary now
that we have a robust ResourceOwner mechanism, and it significantly
increases the cost of process shutdown. Instead, in an assert-enabled
build, assert that no pins are held; in a non-assert-enabled build, do
nothing.
supplied, also print the IP address. This allows IPv4 and IPv6 failures
to be distinguished. Also useful when a hostname resolves to multiple
IP addresses.
Also, remove use of inet_ntoa() and use our own inet_net_ntop() in all
places, including in libpq, because it is thread-safe.
This commit adds columns amoppurpose and amopsortfamily to pg_amop, and
column amcanorderbyop to pg_am. For the moment all the entries in
amcanorderbyop are "false", since the underlying support isn't there yet.
Also, extend the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands with
[ FOR SEARCH | FOR ORDER BY sort_operator_family ] clauses to allow the new
columns of pg_amop to be populated, and create pg_dump support for dumping
that information.
I also added some documentation, although it's perhaps a bit premature
given that the feature doesn't do anything useful yet.

Also, move index entries into the tables, closer to the function description,
for easier editing in the future. Resort some tables to be more alphabetical.
Remove the entries for count, max, min, and sum in the tutorial area, because
that was felt to be confusing.
Thom Brown
Any flavor of ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA fails if (1) the object
is already in the new schema, (2) either the old or new schema is
a temp schema, or (3) either the old or new schema is the TOAST schema.
Extraced from a patch by Dimitri Fontaine, with additional hacking by me.
Currently, three conversion format specifiers are supported: %s for a
string, %L for an SQL literal, and %I for an SQL identifier. The latter
two are deliberately designed not to overlap with what sprintf() already
supports, in case we want to add more of sprintf()'s functionality here
later.
Patch by Pavel Stehule, heavily revised by me. Reviewed by Jeff Janes
and, in earlier versions, by Itagaki Takahiro and Tom Lane.
We no longer need the terminating zero entry in opfamily[], so get rid of
it. Also replace assorted ad-hoc looping logic with simple for and foreach
constructs. This code is now noticeably more readable than it was an hour
ago; credit to Robert for seeing that it could be simplified.
Avoid depending on LL notation, which is likely to not work in pre-C99
compilers; don't pointlessly use INT32_MIN/INT64_MIN in code that has
the numerical value hard-wired into it anyway; remove some gratuitous
style inconsistencies between pg_ltoa and pg_lltoa; fix int2 test case
so it actually tests int2.
This eliminates the need for inefficient implementions of this
functionality in both contrib/dblink and contrib/tablefunc, so remove
them. The upcoming patch implementing an in-core format() function
will also require this functionality.
In passing, add some regression tests.
Use INT_MIN rather than INT32_MIN as we do elsewhere in the code, and
try to work around nonexistence of INT64_MIN if necessary. Adjust the
new regression tests to something hopefully saner, per observation by
Tom Lane.
When using default autovacuum_vac_cost_limit, autovac_balance_cost relied
on VacuumCostLimit to contain the correct global value ... but after the
first time through in a particular worker process, it didn't, because we'd
trashed it in previous iterations. Depending on the state of other autovac
workers, this could result in a steady reduction of the effective
cost_limit setting as a particular worker processed more and more tables,
causing it to go slower and slower. Spotted by Simon Poole (bug #5759).
Fix by saving and restoring the GUC variables in the loop in do_autovacuum.
In passing, improve a few comments.
Back-patch to 8.3 ... the cost rebalancing code has been buggy since it was
put in.
A hand-coded implementation turns out to be much faster than calling
printf(). In passing, add a few more regresion tests.
Andres Freund, with assorted, mostly cosmetic changes.
As per the ancient comment for set_rel_width, it really wasn't much good
for relations that aren't plain tables: it would never find any stats and
would always fall back on datatype-based estimates, which are often pretty
silly. Fix that by copying up width estimates from the subquery planning
process.
At some point we might want to do this for CTEs too, but that would be a
significantly more invasive patch because the sub-PlannerInfo is no longer
accessible by the time it's needed. I refrained from doing anything about
that, partly for fear of breaking the unmerged CTE-related patches.
In passing, also generate less bogus width estimates for whole-row Vars.
Per a gripe from Jon Nelson.
Given a column reference foo.bar, where there is a composite plpgsql
variable foo but it doesn't contain a column bar, the pre-9.0 coding would
immediately throw a "record foo has no field bar" error. In 9.0 the parser
hook instead falls through to let the core parser see if it can resolve the
reference. If not, you get a complaint about "missing FROM-clause entry
for table foo", which while in some sense correct isn't terribly helpful.
Complicate things a bit so that we can throw the old error message if
neither the core parser nor the hook are able to resolve the column
reference, while not changing the behavior in any other case.
Per bug #5757 from Andrey Galkin.
If we have Limit->Result->Sort, the Result might be projecting a tlist
that contains a set-returning function. If so, it's possible for the
SRF to sometimes return zero rows, which means we could need to fetch
more than N rows from the Sort in order to satisfy LIMIT N.
So top-N sorting cannot be used in this scenario.
