Bruce Momjian 5441a64164 The attached patch changes units of the some default values in
postgresql.conf.

- shared_buffers = 32000kB => 32MB
- temp_buffers = 8000kB => 8MB
- wal_buffers = 8 => 64kB

The code of initdb was a bit modified to write MB-unit values.
Values greater than 8000kB are rounded out to MB.

GUC_UNIT_XBLOCKS is added for wal_buffers. It is like GUC_UNIT_BLOCKS,
but uses XLOG_BLCKSZ instead of BLCKSZ.

Also, I cleaned up the test of GUC_UNIT_* flags in preparation to
add more unit flags in less bits.

Tom Lane 1e05359f4b Properly handle the case where strlcpy() exists in libc but isn't
declared in the system headers.  Per report from Bruce than some BSDen
are like this.

Tom Lane 7ceec34a73 Improve documentation of configure's readline/libedit switches. 2006-10-01 23:47:16 +00:00
Tom Lane db2dcf58be Make some marginal performance improvements in reportErrorPosition(),
which turns out to be a dominant part of the runtime in scenarios
involving lots of parse-time warnings (such as Stephen Frost's example
of an INSERT with a lot of backslash-containing strings).  There's not
a whole lot we can do about the character-at-a-time scanning, but we
can at least avoid traversing the query twice.
2006-10-01 22:25:48 +00:00
Tom Lane 8e4fe3ba1e Do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS after emitting a message of less than ERROR
severity.  This is to ensure the user can cancel a query that's spitting
out lots of notice/warning messages, even if they're coming from a loop
that doesn't otherwise contain a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS.  Per gripe from
Stephen Frost.

Bruce Momjian a9c7c5c240 BSD/OS doesn't have a prototype for strlcpy() but has the function, so

Tom Lane 352a56ba68 Allow assignment to array elements not contiguous with those already
present; intervening positions are filled with nulls.  This behavior
is required by SQL99 but was not implementable before 8.2 due to lack
of support for nulls in arrays.  I have only made it work for the
one-dimensional case, which is all that SQL99 requires.  It seems quite
complex to get it right in higher dimensions, and since we never allowed
extension at all in higher dimensions, I think that must count as a
future feature addition not a bug fix.

Tom Lane 673a573dcc Remove duplicate (and now incorrect) documentation for row-wise IS [NOT]
NULL.  Noted by Teodor.
2006-09-29 18:36:45 +00:00
Tom Lane f213131f20 Fix IS NULL and IS NOT NULL tests on row-valued expressions to conform to
the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT
NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null.  The former coding got
this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it
could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong
for IS NOT NULL.  Per report from Teodor.

I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec.  This
probably needs more consideration.

Tom Lane 85bbd549d8 Oops, forgot that libpq needs extra steps to make use of src/port/ files. 2006-09-27 21:29:17 +00:00
Tom Lane c92f7e258e Replace strncpy with strlcpy in selected places that seem possibly relevant
to performance.  (A wholesale effort to get rid of strncpy should be
undertaken sometime, but not during beta.)  This commit also fixes dynahash.c
to correctly truncate overlength string keys for hashtables, so that its
callers don't have to anymore.
2006-09-27 18:40:10 +00:00
Tom Lane 996b203e62 Add strlcpy() to the set of functions supported by src/port/ when not
available directly on the platform.  Per discussion, this function is
sufficiently widely recognized to be treated as standard.
