Bruce Momjian bb3cce4ec9 Add E'' syntax so eventually normal strings can treat backslashes
literally.

Add GUC variables:

        "escape_string_warning" - warn about backslashes in non-E strings
        "escape_string_syntax" - supports E'' syntax?
        "standard_compliant_strings" - treats backslashes literally in ''

Update code to use E'' when escapes are used.

Bruce Momjian 4778c33106 Restructure log_line_prefix options to be clearer:
#log_line_prefix = ''   # %u = user name
                                # %d = database name
                                # %r = remote host and port
                                # %h = remote host
                                # %p = PID
                                # %t = timestamp
                                # %m = timestamp with milliseconds
                                # %i = command tag
                                # %c = session id
                                # %l = session line number
                                # %s = session start timestamp

                                # %q = stop here in non-session processes

Bruce Momjian 6c2ba14d8d This patch against 8.0.0beta1 source adds log_line_prefix options for
millisecond timestamps (%m) and remote host (%h). The milliseconds are
useful for QPS measurements.

Bruce Momjian 72c53ac3a7 Allow kerberos name and username case sensitivity to be specified from
postgresql.conf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:

1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.

3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.

4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)

Tom Lane 14c7fba3f7 Rethink original decision to use AND/OR Expr nodes to represent bitmap
logic operations during planning.  Seems cleaner to create two new Path

Also, create an enable_bitmapscan GUC parameter to control use of bitmap
plans.

Neil Conway eb4b7a0b77 Change the default setting of "add_missing_from" to false. This has been
the long-term plan for this behavior for quite some time, but it is only
possible now that DELETE has a USING clause so that the user can join
other tables in a DELETE statement without relying on this behavior.

Bruce Momjian b1f57d88f5 Change Win32 O_SYNC method to O_DSYNC because that is what the method
currently does.  This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because
we perfer o_datasync to fsync.

Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called
fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is
what is used for fsync on Win32.

Backpatch to 8.0.X.

Tom Lane 5d5087363d Replace the BufMgrLock with separate locks on the lookup hashtable and
the freelist, plus per-buffer spinlocks that protect access to individual
shared buffer headers.  This requires abandoning a global freelist (since
the freelist is a global contention point), which shoots down ARC and 2Q
as well as plain LRU management.  Adopt a clock sweep algorithm instead.
Preliminary results show substantial improvement in multi-backend situations.

Tom Lane 98e8b48053 Create 'default_tablespace' GUC variable that supplies a TABLESPACE
clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly.  Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index.  It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default.  This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so).  All per recent discussions.

Tom Lane 4347cc2392 Allow background writing to be shut down by setting limit values to zero.
This does not disable the bgwriter process: it still has to wake up often
enough to collect fsync requests from backends in a timely fashion.  But
it responds to the recent gripe about not being able to prevent the disk
from being spun up constantly.

Tom Lane 337ffcddba Adjust configuration-files GUC behavior as per my recent proposal.
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and
ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths
during postmaster startup.
This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from
non-superusers.

rewrites the same names cyclically.  Per Ed L.

Bruce Momjian 10249abfa1 Cleanup Win32 COPY handling, and move archive examples to SGML. 2004-08-12 19:03:44 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 6525b42b10 Add make_native_path() because Win32 COPY is an internal CMD.EXE command
and doesn't process forward slashes in the same way as external
commands.  Quoting the first argument to COPY does not convert forward
to backward slashes, but COPY does properly process quoted forward
slashes in the second argument.

Win32 COPY works with quoted forward slashes in the first argument only if the
current directory is the same as the directory of the first argument.

Tom Lane bdf8ef6925 Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to
recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program.  Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).

Bruce Momjian 6a25c6e1d1 > >>1. change the type of "log_statement" option from boolean to string,

OK, here is a patch that implements #1.  Here is sample output:

        test=> set client_min_messages = 'log';
        SET
        test=> set log_statement = 'mod';
        SET
        test=> select 1;
         ?column?
        ----------
                1
        (1 row)

        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test from '/tmp/x';
        LOG:  statement: copy test from '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test to  '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> prepare xx as select 1;
        PREPARE
        test=> prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        LOG:  statement: prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        ERROR:  relation "x" does not exist
        test=> explain analyze select 1;;
                                             QUERY PLAN
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Result  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.006..0.007 rows=1 loops=1)
         Total runtime: 0.046 ms
        (2 rows)

        test=> explain analyze update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: explain analyze update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> explain update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist

It checks PREPARE and EXECUTE ANALYZE too.  The log_statement values are
'none', 'mod', 'ddl', and 'all'.  For 'all', it prints before the query
is parsed, and for ddl/mod, it does it right after parsing using the
node tag (or command tag for CREATE/ALTER/DROP), so any non-parse errors
will print after the log line.

Tom Lane 8899a2aba9 Replace max_expr_depth parameter with a max_stack_depth parameter that

Tom Lane 2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified
