slave
servers. I haven't tested it very well, so use at your own risk (and I
recommend against using it in production).
Basically, I have a central database server that has 4 summary tables
inside
it replicated to a remote slave (these database tables are for my mail
server
authentication, so these are replicated to another server tuned for many
connections, and so I don't have postgres connections opened straight to
my
back-end database server).
Unfortunately, I also wanted to implement a replication database server
for
hot-backups. I realized, too late, that the replication process is
pretty
greedy and will try to replicate all tables marked as a
"MasterAddTable".
To make a long story, I made a patch to RServ.pm and Replicate that
allows you
to specify, on the command line, a list of tables that you want to
replicate...it'll ignore all others.
I haven't finished, since this has to be integrated with CleanLog for
instance, but this should (and does) suffice for the moment.
I have yet to test it with two slaves, but at least my mail server
replication
database now works (it was failing every time it tried to replicate, for
a
variety of reasons).
Anyone have any suggestions on how to improve on this? (or, if someone
more
familiar with this code wants to take the ball and run with it, you're
welcome to).

Nice catch.
There was a bug in the original metaphone algorithm from CPAN. Patch
attached (while I was at it I updated my email address, changed the
copyright to PGDG, and removed an unnecessary palloc). Here's how it
looks now:
regression=# select metaphone(a,4) from (select 'A A COMEAUX
MEMORIAL'::varchar AS a) a;
metaphone

AKMK

regression=# select metaphone(a,5) from (select 'A A COMEAUX

* A few bug fixes
* fixes solaris compile and crash issue
* decouple vacuum analyze and analyze thresholds
* detach from tty (dameonize)
* improved logging layout
* more conservative default configuration
* improved, expanded and updated README
please apply and 1st convenience, or before code freeze which ever comes
first :-)
At this point I think I have brought pg_autovacuum and its client side
design as far as I think it should go. It works, keeping file sizes in
check, helps performance and give the administrator a fair amount
flexibility in configuring it.
Next up is to do the FSM based design that is integrated into the back
end.
p.s. Thanks to Christopher Browne for his help.

yy_fatal_error() call results in elog(ERROR) not exit(). This was
already fixed in the main lexer and plpgsql, but extend same technique
to all the other dot-l files. Also, on review of the possible calls
to yy_fatal_error(), it seems safe to use elog(ERROR) not elog(FATAL).
of an index can now be a computed expression instead of a simple variable.
Restrictions on expressions are the same as for predicates (only immutable
functions, no sub-selects). This fixes problems recently introduced with
inlining SQL functions, because the inlining transformation is applied to
both expression trees so the planner can still match them up. Along the
way, improve efficiency of handling index predicates (both predicates and
index expressions are now cached by the relcache) and fix 7.3 oversight
that didn't record dependencies of predicate expressions.
blanks, in hopes of reducing the surprise factor for newbies. Remove
redundant operators for VARCHAR (it depends wholly on TEXT operations now).
Clean up resolution of ambiguous operators/functions to avoid surprising
choices for domains: domains are treated as equivalent to their base types
and binary-coercibility is no longer considered a preference item when
choosing among multiple operators/functions. IsBinaryCoercible now correctly
reflects the notion that you need *only* relabel the type to get from type
A to type B: that is, a domain is binary-coercible to its base type, but
not vice versa. Various marginal cleanup, including merging the essentially
duplicate resolution code in parse_func.c and parse_oper.c. Improve opr_sanity
regression test to understand about binary compatibility (using pg_cast),
and fix a couple of small errors in the catalogs revealed thereby.
Restructure "special operator" handling to fetch operators via index opclasses
rather than hardwiring assumptions about names (cleans up the pattern_ops
stuff a little).
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed
within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the
load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure
code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c,
so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries.
initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
(materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier.
I've updated the documentation and the regression tests.
Notes on the implementation:
- I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it
won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp
files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at
end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control
this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK?
- in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new
CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the
current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the
Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the
particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of
ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution
that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is
passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data
structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the
Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the
tupleReceiver code, but it works...
The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API --
Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function.
In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add
any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get
access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for
a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time,
the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent.
- (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and
adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on
-hackers.
- (unrelated) Cleaned up some SGML markup in sql.sgml, copy.sgml

changed as per discussion on the patches list).
This version should be a good bit better. It addresses all the issues
pointed out by Neil Conway. Vacuum and Analyze are now handled
separately. It now monitors for xid wraparound. The number of database
connections and queries has been significantly reduced compared the
previous version. I have moved it from bin to contrib. More detail on
the changes are in the TODO file.
I have not tested the xid wraparound code as I have to let my AthlonXP
1600 run select 1 in a tight loop for approx. two days in order to
perform the required 500,000,000 xacts.

version of crosstab. This fixes a major deficiency in real-world use of
the original version. Easiest to undestand with an illustration:
Data:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
select * from cth;
id | rowid | rowdt | attribute | val
----+-------+---------------------+----------------+---------------
1 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | temperature | 42
2 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | test_result | PASS
3 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | volts | 2.6987
4 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | temperature | 53
5 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | test_result | FAIL
6 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | test_startdate | 01 March 2003
7 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | volts | 3.1234
(7 rows)
Original crosstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM crosstab(
'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1,2',4)
AS c(rowid text, temperature text, test_result text, test_startdate
text, volts text);
rowid | temperature | test_result | test_startdate | volts
-------+-------------+-------------+----------------+--------
test1 | 42 | PASS | 2.6987 |
test2 | 53 | FAIL | 01 March 2003 | 3.1234
(2 rows)
Hashed crosstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM crosstab(
'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1',
'SELECT DISTINCT attribute FROM cth ORDER BY 1')
AS c(rowid text, temperature int4, test_result text, test_startdate
timestamp, volts float8);
rowid | temperature | test_result | test_startdate | volts
-------+-------------+-------------+---------------------+--------
test1 | 42 | PASS | | 2.6987
test2 | 53 | FAIL | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | 3.1234
(2 rows)
Notice that the original crosstab slides data over to the left in the
result tuple when it encounters missing data. In order to work around
this you have to be make your source sql do all sorts of contortions
(cartesian join of distinct rowid with distinct attribute; left join
that back to the real source data). The new version avoids this by
building a hash table using a second distinct attribute query.
The new version also allows for "extra" columns (see the README) and
allows the result columns to be coerced into differing datatypes if they
are suitable (as shown above).
In testing a "real-world" data set (69 distinct rowid's, 27 distinct
categories/attributes, multiple missing data points) I saw about a
5-fold improvement in execution time (from about 2200 ms old, to 440 ms
new).
I left the original version intact because: 1) BC, 2) it is probably
slightly faster if you know that you have no missing attributes.

entire contents of the subplan into the tuplestore before we can return
any tuples. Instead, the tuplestore holds what we've already read, and
we fetch additional rows from the subplan as needed. Random access to
the previously-read rows works with the tuplestore, and doesn't affect
the state of the partially-read subplan. This is a step towards fixing
the problems with cursors over complex queries --- we don't want to
stick in Materialize nodes if they'll prevent quick startup for a cursor.

Good point. Thank you Masaru for the suggested fix.
Attached is a patch to fix the bug found by Masaru. His example now
produces:
regression=# SELECT * FROM connectby('connectby_tree', 'keyid',
'parent_keyid', '11', 0, '-') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level

branch text);
keyid | parent_keyid | level | branch

While making the patch I also realized that the "no show branch" form of
the function was not going to work very well for recursion detection.
Therefore there is now a default branch delimiter ('~') that is used
internally, for that case, to enable recursion detection to work. If
you need a different delimiter for your specific data, you will have to
use the "show branch" form of the function.

I also put in a limit of 100 dimensions in cube_large and cube_in to
prevent making it easy to create very large cubes. Changing one define
in cubedata.h will raise the limit if some needs more dimensions.

composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view
based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to
everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving
show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed
all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During
initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently
available through SHOW ALL. For example:
test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%';
name | setting
-----------------------+---------
debug_assertions | on
debug_pretty_print | off
debug_print_parse | off
debug_print_plan | off
debug_print_query | off
debug_print_rewritten | off
wal_debug | 0
(7 rows)
Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible
to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as
Tom put it. Here's an example:

1. Reworked patch from Andrey Oktyabrski (ano@spider.ru) with
functions: icount, sort, sort_asc, uniq, idx, subarray
operations: #, +, -, |, &
FUNCTIONS:
int icount(int[]) - the number of elements in intarray
int[] sort(int[], 'asc' | 'desc') - sort intarray
int[] sort(int[]) - sort in ascending order
int[] sort_asc(int[]),sort_desc(int[]) - shortcuts for sort
int[] uniq(int[]) - returns unique elements
int idx(int[], int item) - returns index of first intarray matching element
to item, or '0' if matching failed.
int[] subarray(int[],int START [, int LEN]) - returns part of intarray
starting from element number START (from 1)
and length LEN.
OPERATIONS:
int[] && int[] - overlap - returns TRUE if arrays has at least one common elements.
int[] @ int[] - contains - returns TRUE if left array contains right array
int[] ~ int[] - contained - returns TRUE if left array is contained in right array
# int[] - return the number of elements in array
int[] + int - push element to array ( add to end of array)
int[] + int[] - merge of arrays (right array added to the end of left one)
int[] - int - remove entries matched by right argument from array
int[] - int[] - remove left array from right
int[] | int - returns intarray - union of arguments
int[] | int[] - returns intarray as a union of two arrays
int[] & int[] - returns intersection of arrays

has_language_privilege, has_schema_privilege to let SQL queries test
all the new privilege types in 7.3. Also, add functions pg_table_is_visible,
pg_type_is_visible, pg_function_is_visible, pg_operator_is_visible,
pg_opclass_is_visible to test whether objects contained in schemas are
visible in the current search path. Do some minor cleanup to centralize
accesses to pg_database, as well.

I believe that patch also intended to remove contrib/ltree/patch.72
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
