2001-05-04 22:57 momjian * HISTORY, register.txt, doc/src/sgml/release.sgml: UPdate for release tomorrow. 2001-05-04 19:11 tgl * doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml: COMMIT_DELAY and COMMIT_SIBLINGS were missing from the list of WAL configuration parameters in chapter 3. 2001-05-04 18:01 tgl * src/backend/parser/Makefile: Makefile should have automatic dependency for parser.o too, if it's going to have any at all. 2001-05-04 14:39 tgl * src/backend/access/transam/xact.c: Seems like we should not hold off cancel/die interrupts while we are running deferred triggers. They are really part of the regular transaction, and they could take awhile. 2001-05-03 22:54 momjian * doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml: Add missing tag. 2001-05-03 18:53 tgl * src/: backend/utils/adt/datetime.c, backend/utils/adt/formatting.c, backend/utils/adt/timestamp.c, include/utils/datetime.h: Consolidate several near-identical uses of mktime() into a single routine DetermineLocalTimeZone(). In that routine, be more wary of broken mktime() implementations than the original code was: don't allow mktime to change the already-set y/m/d/h/m/s information, and don't use tm_gmtoff if mktime failed. Possibly this will resolve some of the complaints we've been hearing from users of Middle Eastern timezones on RedHat. 2001-05-03 17:38 momjian * doc/src/sgml/charset.sgml, src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode/KOI8_to_utf8.map, src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode/utf8_to_KOI8.map, src/include/mb/pg_wchar.h, src/interfaces/odbc/multibyte.h: BTW it does not add encodign it just patches existing one (KOI8) to support two - KOI8-R and KOI8-U (latter is superset of the former if not to take to the account pseudographics) Andy Rysin 2001-05-03 17:16 tgl * src/backend/rewrite/rewriteDefine.c: Permission checking wasn't quite right for insert/update/delete rules, either :-(. 2001-05-03 16:39 momjian * HISTORY, doc/src/sgml/release.sgml: pg_dump can dump 7.0 databases. 2001-05-03 15:20 momjian * src/test/locale/test-ctype.c: apply a little patch: Oleg Bartunov 2001-05-03 15:00 tgl * src/: backend/access/nbtree/nbtcompare.c, backend/utils/adt/date.c, backend/utils/adt/float.c, backend/utils/adt/nabstime.c, backend/utils/adt/numeric.c, backend/utils/adt/timestamp.c, backend/utils/adt/varbit.c, backend/utils/adt/varchar.c, backend/utils/adt/varlena.c, include/utils/nabstime.h, test/regress/expected/abstime-solaris-1947.out, test/regress/expected/abstime.out, test/regress/expected/timestamp.out: Ensure that btree sort ordering functions and boolean comparison operators give consistent results for all datatypes. Types float4, float8, and numeric were broken for NaN values; abstime, timestamp, and interval were broken for INVALID values; timetz was just plain broken (some possible pairs of values were neither < nor = nor >). Also clean up text, bpchar, varchar, and bit/varbit to eliminate duplicate code and thereby reduce the probability of similar inconsistencies arising in the future. 2001-05-03 13:50 tgl * doc/src/sgml/ref/create_table.sgml: Describe handling of multiply-inherited fields correctly. 2001-05-03 13:47 tgl * src/backend/rewrite/rewriteHandler.c: Permissions were not checked correctly when one view invokes another. Per bug report from Lieven Van Acker, 5/2/01. 2001-05-03 13:28 momjian * doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml: Update shared memory docs. 2001-05-03 13:20 momjian * src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES: Improve list. 2001-05-03 13:17 momjian * HISTORY, doc/src/sgml/release.sgml: Final stamp for 7.1.1. All done. 2001-05-03 12:47 momjian * src/: include/config.h.win32, interfaces/libpq/libpq.rc, tools/RELEASE_CHANGES: Updates for 7.1.1. Not done yet. 2001-05-03 12:43 momjian * configure: autoconf 2001-05-03 12:26 momjian * HISTORY, README, configure.in, register.txt, doc/bug.template, doc/src/sgml/release.sgml: Some updates for 7.1.1. 2001-05-03 12:18 tgl * src/include/catalog/pg_type.h: Correct pg_description entry for type macaddr. 2001-05-03 12:07 tgl * src/: interfaces/ecpg/include/sqlca.h, interfaces/ecpg/test/Makefile, makefiles/Makefile.win: Fixes to make ecpg work on Cygwin, from Jason Tishler . 2001-05-03 08:32 darcy * contrib/chkpass/: Makefile, README.chkpass, chkpass.c, chkpass.sql: Initial checkin of a contributed type that handles passwords efficiently. 2001-05-02 16:35 momjian * doc/src/sgml/ref/drop_aggregate.sgml: In the outputs section the NOTICE reads: aggregate 'agg' for 'type' does not exist. Mismatch with synopsis, agg must be name here. Frank Wegmann 2001-05-02 13:04 momjian * doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml: Added mention of SHMALL and removed BSD/OS-specific table. 2001-05-02 10:46 momjian * doc/src/sgml/ref/createuser.sgml: description of the command line option echo should read: Echo the queries that createuser generates and sends to the backend. ^^^^^^^^^^ Frank Wegmann 2001-05-02 10:23 tgl * src/interfaces/odbc/win32.mak: Previous commit mistakenly converted all newlines to DOS style (CR/LF). Convert back to Unix style --- it seems some versions of nmake insist on this. 2001-05-02 07:21 darcy * src/interfaces/python/README: Add note explaining why inserts take longer as tables grow. Also suggest the way to handle this. 2001-05-02 07:17 darcy * src/interfaces/python/pgmodule.c: Change "|zzlzzzz" argument specification to "|zzizzzz" so that the code works properly on 64 bit systems. Change submitted by Marc Poinot (Marc.Poinot@onera.fr) 2001-05-01 06:50 petere * doc/src/sgml/version.sgml: Bump version to 7.1.1. Now run over to hub to rebuild documentation before release... 2001-05-01 06:48 petere * doc/src/sgml/: libpq++.sgml, libpq.sgml: More markup fixes 2001-04-30 23:00 tgl * doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml: Fix slightly confused description of debug options. 2001-04-30 22:33 tgl * src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.y: Synced gram.y and preproc.y. 2001-04-30 21:36 thomas * src/backend/parser/gram.y: Allow a string argument to the EXTRACT() function. This is an extension to the SQL9x standard, but is consistant with usage of the underlying date_part() function used to implement it. Example: EXTRACT('YEAR',...) No impact on regression tests. 2001-04-30 20:47 inoue * src/interfaces/odbc/: parse.c, psqlodbc.h, psqlodbc.rc, qresult.c: 1) fix bugs reported by Andrea Aime. 2) fix a bug reported by Jan Wieck. psqlodbc is 7.01.0005 now. 2001-04-30 19:55 tgl * doc/FAQ_HPUX: Update FAQ_HPUX now that we have reports of out-of-the-box build on HPUX 11. 2001-04-30 18:22 tgl * doc/src/sgml/pltcl.sgml: Document pltcl's return_null command. 2001-04-30 18:21 tgl * doc/src/sgml/: libpq++.sgml, libpq.sgml: Repair freshly-broken markup. 2001-04-30 16:05 tgl * src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_exec.c: exec_move_row() should be more forgiving of tuples with a different number of columns than it was expecting, for reasons that are now documented in the code... 2001-04-30 15:24 tgl * src/backend/optimizer/plan/planner.c: Suppress pull-up of subqueries that are in the nullable side of an outer join. This is needed to avoid improper evaluation of expressions that should be nulled out, as in Victor Wagner's bug report of 4/27/01. Pretty ugly solution, but no time to do anything better for 7.1.1. 2001-04-30 13:38 momjian * doc/src/sgml/: libpq++.sgml, libpq.sgml: Break up PQexec() result functions into subsections to be clearer. Both libpq and libpq++ reorganized. 2001-04-30 00:26 momjian * doc/src/sgml/: libpgtcl.sgml, libpq++.sgml: Add mention of libpgtcl's options to manual, libpq++ markup fixes. 2001-04-29 03:27 ishii * src/backend/utils/mb/: conv.c, Unicode/ALT_to_utf8.map, Unicode/KOI8_to_utf8.map, Unicode/Makefile, Unicode/UCS_to_cyrillic.pl, Unicode/WIN_to_utf8.map, Unicode/utf8_to_ALT.map, Unicode/utf8_to_KOI8.map, Unicode/utf8_to_WIN.map: Add missing Unicode support for Cyrillic encodings. Patches contributed by Victor Wagner. 2001-04-28 09:59 momjian * doc/src/sgml/ref/: create_function.sgml, drop_function.sgml: In create_function there is a remark concerning SQL/PSM not being ratified as yet. This is certainly no longer true, it wasn't even true in Q2/1998 when I did a little research for Date's book. SQL/PSM had been published on 1996-12-15 as ISO/IEC 9075:4. So you might want to update that section. Frank Wegmann 2001-04-26 21:31 momjian * doc/src/sgml/ref/pg_ctl-ref.sgml: A small patch for a small option (for rel. 7.1). Jimmy Olgeni 2001-04-26 20:55 momjian * doc/: FAQ, src/FAQ/FAQ.html: Update FAQ. 2001-04-26 20:21 momjian * doc/: FAQ, src/FAQ/FAQ.html, FAQ, src/FAQ/FAQ.html: Update FAQ. 2001-04-26 17:52 tgl * src/backend/utils/adt/nabstime.c: Remove bogus Assert from AbsoluteTimeIsBefore(). (If you don't think it's bogus, try building a btree index on the regress tests' abstime_tbl.) 2001-04-25 18:04 tgl * src/backend/optimizer/path/costsize.c: Tweak nestloop costing to weight restart cost of inner path more heavily. Without this, it was making some pretty silly decisions about whether an expensive sub-SELECT should be the inner or outer side of a join... 2001-04-25 03:03 pjw * src/bin/pg_dump/: pg_backup.h, pg_backup_archiver.c, pg_backup_archiver.h, pg_backup_custom.c, pg_backup_db.c, pg_backup_tar.c, pg_dump.c, pg_dump.h: - Fixed CONSTRAINT TRIGGER dump to record tgconstrelid properly - pgsql v7.0 compatbility 2001-04-24 16:05 petere * doc/FAQ_MSWIN: typological errors 2001-04-23 20:08 tgl * src/include/nodes/nodes.h: Undo pgindent brain damage, so that node type numbers can once again be counted off by lines ... 2001-04-23 19:36 tgl * src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c: Behave sanely when database name is omitted from command line. 2001-04-23 16:27 petere * src/backend/Makefile: Send 'cd' output to /dev/null. 2001-04-23 11:14 tgl * configure, configure.in: Defend against ancient versions of zlib by checking that zlib.h defines z_streamp. 2001-04-23 00:32 tgl * src/backend/parser/parse_oper.c: compatible_oper needs to do ReleaseSysCache in one path to avoid complaints about 'Cache reference leak'. Per report from Don Baccus. 2001-04-22 21:41 inoue * src/interfaces/odbc/: columninfo.c, connection.c, convert.c, execute.c, qresult.c: 1) Decrease the size of needlessly large buffers. For example, it resolved the stack over flow errors reported by Johann Zuschlag. 2) Support {oj syntax for 71. servers. 2001-04-22 21:00 inoue * src/interfaces/odbc/: bind.c, convert.c, execute.c, pgtypes.c, pgtypes.h, statement.c, statement.h: A patch to fix the following bugs. 1) [ODBC] Psqlodbc and Centura: here it is a patch posted by Matteo Cavalleli 2) [ODBC] pgsqODBC binding parameters II posted by Ludek Finstrle 3) Invalid Page Fault in PSQLODBC.DLL personal mail from Johann Zuschlag Hiroki Kataoka kataoka@interwiz.koganei.tokyo.jp 2001-04-22 17:34 tgl * src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c: Don't bomb out on indexes on system attributes other than 'oid'. (Not sure such an index is actually useful, but just because it's useless doesn't mean pg_dump should coredump.) 2001-04-21 14:29 tgl * src/backend/: main/main.c, utils/init/findbe.c, utils/init/postinit.c: Remove useless setuid() call, instead add a check that real and effective userids are the same. Per today's pghackers discussion. 2001-04-21 07:23 petere * src/bin/pg_ctl/pg_ctl.sh: Make sure that the postmaster options (from postmaster.opts[.default] or -o option) are properly dequoted. Also, always pass an explicit -D option to postmaster, don't rely on it being set in postmaster.opts. 2001-04-20 11:52 thomas * doc/src/sgml/: Makefile, biblio.sgml, catalogs.sgml, charset.sgml, docguide.sgml, func.sgml, geqo.sgml, libpgeasy.sgml, mvcc.sgml, user-manag.sgml: Final markup for 7.1 hardcopy release. Mostly typo and table-fitting adjustments. Note that many tables are being abused with *really* long description columns. Should probably shrink those columns to be more concise, and move some of the info to follow-on reference notes. 2001-04-20 11:50 thomas * doc/src/sgml/fixrtf: Add option --refentry to change \keepn (keep with next paragraph) to \keep (keep current paragraph together). This fixes most troubles with reference pages marked up with tags. Use on reference.rtf, generated by "make reference.rtf". 2001-04-19 16:27 petere * configure, configure.in: Remove libsfio check. 2001-04-19 15:17 petere * contrib/start-scripts/: freebsd, linux: Pass -D option to pg_ctl because export PGDATA won't be preserved across 'su -l'. Reported by . 2001-04-19 15:09 petere * src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c: Add extern int optreset declaration, per bug report from . 2001-04-19 15:01 petere * src/backend/utils/adt/varchar.c: Fix "off by VARHDRSZ" bug in (Cyrillic) recode support. 2001-04-19 00:29 tgl * src/backend/executor/execQual.c: Kluge solution for Alex Pilosov's report of problems with whole-tuple function arguments in join queries: copy the tuples into TransactionCommandContext so they don't get recycled too soon. This is horrid, but not any worse than 7.0 or before, which also leaked such tuples until end of query. A proper fix will require allowing tuple datums to be physically stored inside larger tuple datums, which opens up a bunch of issues that can't realistically be solved for 7.1.1. 2001-04-18 22:34 ishii * src/backend/utils/mb/wchar.c: Add a crash gurard to pg_encoding_mblen in case of an invalid encoding given. 2001-04-18 18:25 tgl * src/backend/parser/parse_func.c: Further tweaking of error messages for cases involving attributes & functions of join or subselect aliases. It'd be awfully nice if this code knew for sure whether it was dealing with 'x.f' or 'f(x)' syntax; maybe we can fix that in a future cycle. 2001-04-18 16:53 petere * src/bin/psql/command.c: Repair misbehavior of \! with immediately following argument that contains spaces (e.g., '\!ls -l'). Also correct a comment. 2001-04-18 16:42 tgl * src/: backend/optimizer/plan/planner.c, backend/optimizer/util/var.c, backend/rewrite/rewriteManip.c, include/optimizer/var.h, pl/plpgsql/src/gram.y, pl/plpgsql/src/pl_comp.c, pl/plpgsql/src/scan.l: Make the world safe for passing whole rows of views to functions. This already worked fine for whole rows of tables, but not so well for views... 2001-04-18 13:04 tgl * src/backend/: parser/parse_relation.c, utils/adt/ruleutils.c: Make rule lister do the right thing with Vars representing whole tuples. 2001-04-17 03:30 inoue * src/interfaces/odbc/readme.txt: The renewal of README thanks to Dave Page. 2001-04-16 20:32 tgl * src/backend/rewrite/rewriteHandler.c: Add some defenses to guard against case where a rule refers to a table or view that's been dropped and then recreated with the same name (but, perhaps, different columns). Eventually we'd like to support this but for now all we can do is fail cleanly, rather than possibly coredumping if we proceed using the obsolete rule. 2001-04-16 15:44 tgl * src/backend/optimizer/plan/initsplan.c: Avoid reversing user-given order of WHERE clauses while attaching clauses to specific base or join RelOptInfo nodes during planning. This preserves the more-intuitive behavior of 7.0.* --- if you write an expensive clause (such as a sub-select) last, it should get evaluated last. Someday we ought to try to have some intelligence about the order of evaluation of WHERE clauses, but for now we should not override what the user wrote. 2001-04-16 02:10 ishii * src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode/: UCS_to_BIG5.pl, UCS_to_EUC_CN.pl, UCS_to_EUC_JP.pl, UCS_to_EUC_KR.pl, UCS_to_EUC_TW.pl, UCS_to_SJIS.pl, big5_to_utf8.map, euc_cn_to_utf8.map, euc_jp_to_utf8.map, euc_kr_to_utf8.map, euc_tw_to_utf8.map, sjis_to_utf8.map, utf8_to_big5.map, utf8_to_euc_cn.map, utf8_to_euc_jp.map, utf8_to_euc_kr.map, utf8_to_euc_tw.map, utf8_to_sjis.map: Correction for mathematical properties in Unicode converison maps. Patches contributed by Eiji Tokuya (e-tokuya@sankyo-unyu.co.jp) 2001-04-16 00:20 momjian * doc/: FAQ_japanese, src/FAQ/FAQ_japanese.html: Update Japanese FAQ's. 2001-04-15 22:42 tgl * src/backend/utils/: init/miscinit.c, mb/common.c, mb/mbutils.c: getdatabaseencoding() and PG_encoding_to_char() were being sloppy about converting char* strings to type 'name'. Imagine my surprise when 7.1 release coredumped upon start when compiled --enable-multibyte ... 2001-04-15 21:46 tgl * src/backend/libpq/pqformat.c: Remove error report from pq_endmessage when pq_putmessage fails. The only possible failure is in pq_flush, which will log a (better!) report anyway --- so pq_endmessage is just cluttering the log with a redundant entry. This matters when a client crashes partway through a large query, since we will emit many broken-pipe reports before finishing the query and exiting. 2001-04-14 23:25 tgl * src/Makefile.shlib: Add LDFLAGS_SL to AIX shlib building command, per report from Rocco Altier . 2001-04-14 23:14 tgl * src/backend/utils/adt/ruleutils.c: Constant expressions that appear in ORDER BY, GROUP BY, DISTINCT ON lists should be reverse-compiled into targetlist index numbers, because that's the only interpretation the parser allows for a constant in these clauses. (Ergo, the only way they could have gotten into the list in the first place is to have come from the targetlist; so this should always work.) Per problem report from Peter E. 2001-04-14 20:48 tgl * src/backend/optimizer/path/joinpath.c: Prevent generation of invalid plans for RIGHT or FULL joins with multiple join clauses. The mergejoin executor wants all the join clauses to appear as merge quals, not as extra joinquals, for these kinds of joins. But the planner would consider plans in which partially-sorted input paths were used, leading to only some of the join clauses becoming merge quals. This is fine for inner/left joins, not fine for right/full joins. 2001-04-14 20:43 petere * src/bin/psql/common.c: If the password prompt goes to stderr, then the trailing newline should also go there. 2001-04-14 18:55 petere * configure, configure.in, src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c, src/include/config.h.in: Work with Readline 4.2. 2001-04-14 15:11 momjian * src/backend/tcop/postgres.c: Add debug_query_string global variable for pgmonitor and debugging use. 2001-04-14 09:11 pjw * src/bin/pg_dump/: pg_backup_archiver.c, pg_backup_archiver.h, pg_backup_tar.c, pg_dump.c, pg_dump.h: - Get view OID based on rule OID not base table OID - Fix crash due to null string pointer in some tar files with some libs 2001-04-13 22:10 tgl * src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c: Another try at making numeric MODULO operator produce the right answer. Although it was now using the right equation, it was making bogus choices of the precision to compute intermediate results to. I'm not sure this is really right even yet, but it's better than before ... 2001-04-13 19:32 tgl * src/include/storage/s_lock.h: Suppress compiler warnings in Vax and NS32K assembly code: 'register foo' is not a complete declaration. 2001-04-13 17:21 scrappy * configure, configure.in, ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-7.1rc4-7.1: tag the source tree as REL7_1, renaming the old tag REL7_1_BETA like it should have been done generate a new Changelog from rc4, which is nice and short ... one python interface change tag configure as 7.1, for generating the packages ... This is it folks ... Release 7.1 is officially here ... 2001-04-13 14:38 momjian * HISTORY: Remove as-of from HISTORY file. 2001-04-12 05:49 darcy * src/interfaces/python/pgdb.py: I just noticed the beta comment. That's not actually true any more so I removed it.
