on Alpha (because parser mistakenly assumes that a nonoverflow result
from strtol means the value will fit into int4). A scan for other uses
of strtol and strtoul found a couple other places with the same mistake;

avoid complaints from compilers that think x != x is a silly test

*before* acquiring shlock on buffer context. This way we should be
protected against conflicts with FlushRelationBuffers.
(Seems we never do excl lock and then StartBufferIO for the same
buffer, so there should be no deadlock here, - but we'd better
check this very soon).
- Avoid forcing table name to lower case in FixupBlobXrefs
- Removed fmtId calls for all ArchiveEntry name fields. This fixes
quoting problems in trigger enable/disable code for mixed case
table names, and avoids commands like 'pg_restore -t '"TblA"'

* Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control.
On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one
is unreadable. Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record
is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie,
complete loss of pg_xlog). Also add a version number for pg_control
itself. Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC
parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway).
* Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered
in the WAL log since the last one. This is not so much to avoid I/O
as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two
checkpoints. If the things are right next to each other then there's
not a lot of redundancy gained...
* Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs
on alternate bytes. Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard.
* Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k.
* Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation. (This is of
dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.)
* Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file
wraparound at the 4 gig mark.
* Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file
format declarations out to include files where planned contrib
utilities can get at them.
* Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or
every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first. It is also
possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster
(undocumented feature...)
* Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID
in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no
processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists).
* Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency
stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities. Clean up signal
handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster
will react to signals better.
* Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added
insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.

of a counted input string. Marinos Yannikos' recent crash report turns
out to be due to applying pg_ascii2wchar_with_len to a TEXT object that
is smack up against the end of memory. This is the second just-barely-
reproducible bug report I have seen that traces to some bit of code
fetching one more byte than it is allowed to. Let's be more careful
out there, boys and girls.
While at it, I changed the code to not risk a similar crash when there
is a truncated multibyte character at the end of an input string. The
output in this case might not be the most reasonable output possible;
if anyone wants to improve it further, step right up...
succeeds or not. Revise rtree page split algorithm to take care about
making a feasible split --- ie, will the incoming tuple actually fit?
Failure to make a feasible split, combined with failure to notice the
failure, account for Jim Stone's recent bug report. I suspect that
hash and gist indices may have the same type of bug, but at least now
we'll get error messages rather than silent failures if so. Also clean
up rtree code to use Datum rather than char* where appropriate.

This option tells configure to look for ant (our build tool of choice) and

when user does another FETCH after reaching end of data, or another
FETCH backwards after reaching start. This is needed because some plan
nodes are not very robust about being called again after they've already
returned NULL; for example, MergeJoin will crash in some states but not
others. While the ideal approach would be for them all to handle this
correctly, it seems foolish to assume that no such bugs would creep in
again once cleaned up. Therefore, the most robust answer is to prevent
the situation from arising at all.
noncachable, so that CURRENT_DATE and CURRENT_TIME work as functions

do these datatypes have the notion of a CURRENT value? Better safe than
sorry, for now.

Hi Teodorescu,
I have made patches which enable pgaccess to input Japanese characters
in the table editing window. As you might know, to input Japanese
characters, we first type in "hiragana" then convert it to "kanji". To
make this proccess transparent to tcl application programs, libraries
are provided with localized version of Tcl/Tk. The patches bind
certain keys to initiate a function (kanjiInput) that is responsible
for the conversion process. If the function is not available, those
keys will not be binded.
Comments?

only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions. This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all. Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting. It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.

This causes CHECKPOINT to crash with s_lock_stuck much too quickly :-(.

- Reduced the object overhead in PreparedStatement by reusing the same
StringBuffer object throughout. Similarly SimpleDateStamp's are alse
reused in a thread save manner.
- Implemented in PreparedStatement: setNull(), setDate/Time/Timestamp
using Calendar, setBlob(), setCharacterStream()
- Clob's are now implemented in ResultSet & PreparedStatement!
- Implemented a lot of DatabaseMetaData & ResultSetMetaData methods.
We have about 18 unimplemented methods left in JDBC2 at the current
time.
if the return datatype's input converter was at all strict, because the
converter would get called on junk data when returning NULL. Also
ensure that it gives an error rather than coredumping if someone tries
to use it in a trigger function.
1. If there is exactly one pg_operator entry of the right name and oprkind,
oper() and related routines would return that entry whether its input type
had anything to do with the request or not. This is just premature
optimization: we shouldn't return the single candidate until after we verify
that it really is a valid candidate, ie, is at least coercion-compatible
with the given types.
2. oper() and related routines only promise a coercion-compatible result.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few callers that assumed the returned
operator is binary-compatible with the given datatype; they would proceed
to call it without making any datatype coercions. These callers include
sorting, grouping, aggregation, and VACUUM ANALYZE. In general I think
it is appropriate for these callers to require an exact or binary-compatible
match, so I've added a new routine compatible_oper() that only succeeds if
it can find an operator that doesn't require any run-time conversions.
Callers now call oper() or compatible_oper() depending on whether they are
prepared to deal with type conversion or not.
The upshot of these bugs is revealed by the following silliness in PL/Tcl's
selftest: it creates an operator @< on int4, and then tries to use it to
sort a char(N) column. The system would let it do that :-( (and evidently
has done so since 6.3 :-( :-(). The result in this case was just a silly
sort order, but the reverse combination would've provoked coredump from
trying to dereference integers. With this fix you get more reasonable
behavior:
pltcl_test=# select * from T_pkey1 order by key1, key2 using @<;
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '@<' for types 'bpchar' and 'bpchar'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
automatically to compensate the lack of automatic
conversion functionality of PostgreSQL server.
For example if there's a numeric type binding
1.2567 --> 1.2567::numeric.
I hope this change would enable the use of numeric
type in MS-Access etc.
Thanks Hiroki Kataoka for his checking my code.
compressed storage works perfectly well. Might as well have a coherent
strategy for applying it, rather than the haphazard store-what-you-get
approach that was in the code before. The strategy I've set up here is
to attempt compression of any compressible index value exceeding
BLCKSZ/16, or about 500 bytes by default.
the old ones were not small enough to ensure r-tree and gist indexes would

clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references
appearing within it, according to the spec. This is the same as the
preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really
grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct
alias name depending on context. I'd rather not have done that, but unless
we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.

any other client connections that may exist (which would only happen if
another client is currently in the authentication cycle). This avoids
wastage of open descriptors in a child. It might also explain peculiar

2) provided a few macros to encapsulate connection's

- Statement.close() will now call ResultSet.close() rather than just
dissasociating with it.

- Changed LargeObject.read(byte[],int,int) to return the actual number
of bytes read (used to be void).
- LargeObject now supports InputStream's!
- PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream() now works!
- ResultSet.getBinaryStream() now returns an InputStream that doesn't
copy the blob into memory first!
- Connection.isClosed() now tests to see if the connection is still alive
rather than if it thinks it's alive.

3) Changed makefiles to use "/MD" and link both psql and libpq.dll against

the rule action already has a jointree entry for OLD.
regression tests for Pgsql 7.1beta3 pass. This is very similr to the one I

problems with char array sizes having set a couple of constants to 0 for
unlimited query length and row length. This additional patch cleans those
problems up by defining a new constant (STD_STATEMENT_LEN) to 65536 and
using that in place of MAX_STATEMENT_LEN.
Another constant (MAX_MESSAGE_LEN) was defined as 2*BLCKSZ, but is now
65536. This is used to define the length of the message buffer in a number
of places and as I understand it (probably not that well!) therefore also
places a limit on the query length. Fixing this properly is beyond my
capabilities but 65536 should hopefully be large enough for most people.

to the use of getpwuid when running in standalone mode.
this patch allocates some persistent storage (using
strdup) to store the username obtained with getpwuid
in src/backend/main/main.c. this is necessary because
later on, getpwuid is called again (in ValidateBinary).
the man pages for getpwuid on SCO OpenServer, FreeBSD,
and Darwin all have words to this effect (this is from
the SCO OpenServer man page):
Note
====
All information is contained in a static area, so it must
be copied if it is to be saved. Otherwise, it may be
overwritten on subsequent calls to these routines.
in particular, on my platform, the storage used to hold
the pw_name from the first call is overwritten such that
it looks like an empty username. this causes a problem
later on in SetSessionUserIdFromUserName.
i'd assume this isn't a problem on most platforms because
getpwuid is called with the same UID both times, and the
same thing ends up happening to that static storage each
time. however, that's not guaranteed, and is _not_ what
happens on my platform (at least :).

and psql) again. Changes are:
1) psql requires the includes of "io.h" and "fcntl.h" in command.c in order
to make a call to open() work (io.h for _open(), fcntl.h for the O_xxx)
2) PG_VERSION is no longer defined in version.h[.in], but in configure.in.
Since we don't do configure on native win32, we need to put it in
config.h.win32 :-(
3) Added define of SYSCONFDIR to config.h.win32 - libpq won't compile
without it. This functionality is *NOT* tested - it's just defined as "" for
now. May work, may not.
4) DEF_PGPORT renamed to DEF_PGPORT_STR
I have done the "basic tests" on it - it connects to a database, and I can
run queries. Haven't tested any of the fancier functions (yet).
However, I stepped on a much bigger problem when fixing psql to work. It no
longer works when linked against the .DLL version of libpq (which the
Makefile does for it). I have left it linked against this version anyway,
pending the comments I get on this mail :-)
The problem is that there are strings being allocated from libpq.dll using
PQExpBuffers (for example, initPQExpBuffer() on line 92 of input.c). These
are being allocated using the malloc function used by libpq.dll. This
function *may* be different from the malloc function used by psql.exe - only
the resulting pointer must be valid. And with the default linking methods,
it *WILL* be different. Later, psql.exe tries to free() this string, at
which point it crashes because the free() function can't find the allocated
block (it's on the allocated blocks list used by the runtime lib of
libpq.dll).
Shouldn't the right thing to do be to have psql call termPQExpBuffer() on
the data instead? As it is now, gets_fromFile() will just return the pointer
received from the PQExpBuffer.data (this may well be present at several
places - this is the one I was bitten by so far). Isn't that kind of
"accessing the internals of the PQExpBuffer structure" wrong? Instead,
perhaps it shuold make a copy of the string, adn then termPQExpBuffer() it?
In that case, the string will have been allocated from within the same
library as the free() is called.
I can get it to work just fine by doing this - changing from (around line
100 of input.c):
and the same a bit further down in the same function.
But, as I said above, this may be at more places in the code? Perhaps
someone more familiar to it could comment on that?
What do you think shuld be done about this? Personally, I go by the "If you
allocate a piece of memory using an interface, use the same interface to
free it", but the question is how to make it work :-)
Also, AFAIK this only affects psql.exe, so the changes made to the libpq
this patch are required no matter how the other issue is handled.

than forcing 'plain'. This probably does not matter right now, but I
think it needs to be consistent with the regular (not-functional) index
case, where attstorage is copied from the underlying table. Clean up
some other dead and infelicitous code too.
Op, so that the sequence 'a_expr Op Op a_expr' will be parsed as
a_expr Op (Op a_expr) not (a_expr Op) Op a_expr as formerly. In other
words, prefer treating user-defined operators as prefix operators to
treating them as postfix operators, when there is an ambiguity.
Also clean up a couple of other infelicities in production priority
assignment --- for example, BETWEEN wasn't being given the intended
priority, but that of AND.
Query used for checking foreign key triggers
returns too many results when there're more than one foreign
key in a table. It happens because only table's oid is used to
link between pg_trigger with INSERT check and pg_trigger with
UPDATE/DELETE check.
I think there should be enough to add following conditions
into WHERE clause of that query:
AND pt.tgconstrname = pg_trigger.tgconstrname
AND pt.tgconstrname = pg_trigger_1.tgconstrname
/Constantin
bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the
update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find
out about it, except by observing later that the transaction produced
the wrong outcome. There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and
simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared
to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates. In
practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor,
because *noplace* else was checking.
attributes in a FieldSelect node --- all the places that manipulate
these work just fine with system attribute numbers. OK, it's a new
feature, so shoot me ...
eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr
exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc. The
downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway,
and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke.
This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss,
and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.
rewrite of deadlock checking. Lock holder objects are now reachable from
the associated LOCK as well as from the owning PROC. This makes it
practical to find all the processes holding a lock, as well as all those
waiting on the lock. Also, clean up some of the grottier aspects of the
SHMQueue API, and cause the waitProcs list to be stored in the intuitive
direction instead of the nonintuitive one. (Bet you didn't know that
the code followed the 'prev' link to get to the next waiting process,
instead of the 'next' link. It doesn't do that anymore.)
here is the patch attached which do check in each BLOB operation, if we are
in transaction, and raise an error otherwise. This will prevent such mistakes.

of c.h altogether, and putting it into the only places that use it
(elog.c and exc.c), instead. Modify these routines to check for a
NULL or empty-string return from strerror, too, since some platforms
define strerror to return empty string for unknown errors (what a useless
definition that is ...). Clean up some cruft in ExcPrint while at it.
whitespace is unimportant in assembly code. Also, move VAX definition
of typedef slock_t to port header files to be like all the other ports.
Note that netbsd.h and openbsd.h are now identical, and I rather think
that freebsd.h is broken in the places where it doesn't agree --- but
I'll leave it to the freebsders to look at that.
