datatypes of composite results, per gripe from Marcel Asio.  Some desultory
copy-editing of plpgsql-related sections of the release notes.

Peter Eisentraut a3401bea9c Use different function names for plpython3 handlers, to avoid clashes in
pg_pltemplate

This should have a catversion bump, but it's still being debated whether
it's worth it during beta.

Bruce Momjian c65f299894 Add new Non-Durable Settings documentation section.
Document that synchronous_commit can lose transactions in a db crash,
not just a OS crash.

Tom Lane 04d9f4dab4 Improve pg_dump's checkSeek() function to verify the functioning of ftello
as well as fseeko, and to not assume that fseeko(fp, 0, SEEK_CUR) proves
anything.  Also improve some related comments.  Per my observation that
the SEEK_CUR test didn't actually work on some platforms, and subsequent
discussion with Robert Haas.

Back-patch to 8.4.  In earlier releases it's not that important whether
we get the hasSeek test right, but with parallel restore it matters.
2010-06-28 02:07:02 +00:00
Tom Lane b779ea8a9a Fix pg_restore so parallel restore doesn't fail when the input file doesn't
contain data offsets (which it won't, if pg_dump thought its output wasn't
seekable).  To do that, remove an unnecessarily aggressive error check, and
instead fail if we get to the end of the archive without finding the desired
data item.  Also improve the error message to be more specific about the
cause of the problem.  Per discussion of recent report from Igor Neyman.

Back-patch to 8.4 where parallel restore was introduced.

Robert Haas e351593922 Rewrite docs for new libpq keepalive parameters.
The revised documentation makes it more clear that these are client-side
parameters, rather than server side parameters.  It also puts the main
point of each parameter first, and consolidates the conditions under which
it might be ignored in a single list at the end.

Tom Lane 399da7d882 Fix thinko in tok_is_keyword(): it was looking at the wrong union variant
of YYSTYPE, and hence returning the wrong answer for cases where a plpgsql
"unreserved keyword" really does conflict with a variable name.  Obviously
I didn't test this enough :-(.  Per bug #5524 from Peter Gagarinov.

Simon Riggs 3bdd23932b Fix log_temp_files docs and comments to say bytes not kilobytes.

Bruce Momjian f5dc03dc69 Mention that when alter rewrites a table, indexes are also rebuilt. 2010-06-24 14:57:21 +00:00
Robert Haas d8cd283a08 Add TCP keepalive support to libpq.
This adds four additional connection parameters to libpq: keepalives,
keepalives_idle, keepalives_count, and keepalives_interval.
keepalives default to on, per discussion, but can be turned off by
specifying keepalives=0.  The remaining parameters, where supported,
can be used to adjust how often keepalives are sent and how many
can be lost before the connection is broken.

The immediate motivation for this patch is to make sure that
walreceiver will eventually notice if the master reboots without
closing the connection cleanly, but it should be helpful in other
cases as well.

Tollef Fog Heen, Fujii Masao, and me.

Bruce Momjian 601d1eeddc Fix pg_upgrade's use of pg_ctl on Win32 to not send command and sever
output to the same file, because it is impossible.

Also set user name for pg_dumpall in pg_upgrade.
2010-06-22 16:45:10 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 7b6f29006e Update pg_ctl docs to explain server output behavior differences on
win32 and non-win32 platforms.

Robert Haas 8327060dc2 Updated expected-output file for hstore.
This is an oversight in my previous patch to deprecate => as an operator
name.  Per buildfarm.
2010-06-22 12:54:22 +00:00
Robert Haas f974212320 Deprecate the use of => as an operator name.
In HEAD, emit a warning when an operator named => is defined.
In both HEAD and the backbranches (except in 8.2, where contrib
modules do not have documentation), document that hstore's text =>
text operator may be removed in a future release, and encourage the
use of the hstore(text, text) function instead.  This function only
exists in HEAD (previously, it was called tconvert), so backpatch
it back to 8.2, when hstore was added.  Per discussion.

Robert Haas 9b2c14cf11 Minor markup improvements for Hot Standby documentation. 2010-06-22 02:57:50 +00:00
Heikki Linnakangas 2e8a832dd6 In a PL/pgSQL "FOR cursor" statement, the statements executed in the loop
might close the cursor,  rendering the Portal pointer to it invalid.
Closing the cursor in the middle of the loop is not a very sensible thing
to do, but we must handle it gracefully and throw an error instead of
crashing.

Tom Lane f685cbbac8 Fix mishandling of whole-row Vars referencing a view or sub-select.
If such a Var appeared within a nested sub-select, we failed to translate it
correctly during pullup of the view, because the recursive call to
replace_rte_variables_mutator was looking for the wrong sublevels_up value.
Bug was introduced during the addition of the PlaceHolderVar mechanism.
Per bug #5514 from Marcos Castedo.
2010-06-21 00:14:48 +00:00
Robert Haas 31c47e53aa Rename hstore => text[] operator to %
This is not yet in any released version, so we still have the option to
change the name.  We may want to reserve the token => in a future release.

Tom Lane 78e8f0025e Clean up some randomness associated with trace_recovery_messages: don't
put the variable declaration in the middle of a bunch of externs,
and do use extern where it should be used.

Tom Lane 09698bb5fb Make RemoveOldXlogFiles's debug printout match style used elsewhere:

Also, avoid closedir(NULL).

Tom Lane 07e8b6aabc Don't allow walsender to send WAL data until it's been safely fsync'd on the
master.  Otherwise a subsequent crash could cause the master to lose WAL that
has already been applied on the slave, resulting in the slave being out of
sync and soon corrupt.  Per recent discussion and an example from Robert Haas.

Tom Lane c0989c67fa Change the interpretation of the primary_key_attnums parameter of
dblink_build_sql_insert() and related functions.  Now the column numbers
are treated as logical not physical column numbers.  This will provide saner
behavior in the presence of dropped columns; furthermore, if we ever get
around to allowing rearrangement of logical column ordering, the original
definition would become nearly untenable from a usability standpoint.
Per recent discussion of dblink's handling of dropped columns.
Not back-patched for fear of breaking existing applications.

Robert Haas b17129b589 Remove hstore's text[] => text[] operator.
This is not yet in any released version, so we still have the option to
backtrack.  Instead, document hstore(text[], text[]).  Per discussion.
