The zero-point case is sensible so far as the data structure is concerned,
so maybe we ought to allow it sometime; but right now the textual input
routines for these types don't allow it, and it seems that not all the
functions for the types are prepared to cope.
Report and patch by Merlin Moncure.
"bool" into plperl.c. This has always been a hazard since Perl allows a
platform-specific choice to define bool as int rather than char, but
evidently this didn't happen on any platform we support ... until OS X 10.5.
Per report from Brandon Maust.
Back-patch as far as 8.0 --- a bit arbitrary, but it seems unlikely anyone
will be trying to port 7.x onto new platforms.
whole table instead, to ensure that it goes away when the table is dropped.
Per bug #3723 from Sam Mason.
Backpatch as far as 7.4; AFAICT 7.3 does not have the issue, because it doesn't
have general-purpose expression indexes and so there must be at least one
column referenced by an index.
that have default expressions different from their parent. First, if the
parent table's default expression has to be split out as a separate
ALTER TABLE command, we need a dependency constraint to ensure that the
child's command is given second. This is because the ALTER TABLE on the
parent will propagate to the child. (We can't prevent that by using ONLY on
the parent's command, since it's possible that other children exist that
should receive the inherited default.) Second, if the child has a NULL
default where the parent does not, we have to explicitly say DEFAULT NULL on
the child in order for this state to be preserved after reload. (The latter
actually doesn't work right because of a backend bug, but that is a separate
issue.)
Backpatch as far as 8.0. 7.x pg_dump has enough issues with altered tables
(due to lack of dependency analysis) that trying to fix this one doesn't seem
very productive.
it affects. The original coding neglected tablespace entirely (causing
the indexes to move to the database's default tablespace) and for an index
belonging to a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint, it would actually try to
assign the parent table's reloptions to the index :-(. Per bug #3672 and
subsequent investigation.
8.0 and 8.1 did not have reloptions, but the tablespace bug is present.
simplification gets detoasted before it is incorporated into a Const node.
Otherwise, if an immutable function were to return a TOAST pointer (an
unlikely case, but it can be made to happen), we would end up with a plan
that depends on the continued existence of the out-of-line toast datum.
eval_const_expressions simplifies this to just "WHERE false", but we have
already done pull_up_IN_clauses so the IN join will be done, or at least
planned, anyway. The trouble case comes when the sub-SELECT is itself a join
and we decide to implement the IN by unique-ifying the sub-SELECT outputs:
with no remaining reference to the output Vars in WHERE, we won't have
propagated the Vars up to the upper join point, leading to "variable not found
in subplan target lists" error. Fix by adding an extra scan of in_info_list
and forcing all Vars mentioned therein to be propagated up to the IN join
point. Per bug report from Miroslav Sulc.
recovery stop time was used. This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to
overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems
simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition. Per example
from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.
table, by allocating just enough for a hardcoded number of dead tuples per
page. The current estimate is 200 dead tuples per page.
Per reports from Jeff Amiel, Erik Jones and Marko Kreen, and subsequent
discussion.

no-longer-needed pages at the end of a table. We thought we could throw away
pages containing HEAPTUPLE_DEAD tuples; but this is not so, because such
tuples very likely have index entries pointing at them, and we wouldn't have
removed the index entries. The problem only emerges in a somewhat unlikely
race condition: the dead tuples have to have been inserted by a transaction
that later aborted, and this has to have happened between VACUUM's initial
scan of the page and then rechecking it for empty in count_nondeletable_pages.
But that timespan will include an index-cleaning pass, so it's not all that
hard to hit. This seems to explain a couple of previously unsolved bug
reports.
remote sessions, instead of erroring out in the middle of the operation.
This is a backpatch of a previous fix applied to CLUSTER to HEAD and 8.2, all
the way back that it is relevant to.
recover from elog(ERROR). Problem was created by introduction of hash seq
search tracking awhile back, and affects all branches that have bgwriter;
in HEAD the disease has snuck into autovacuum and walwriter too. (Not sure
that the latter two use hash_seq_search at the moment, but surely they might
someday.) Per report from Sergey Koposov.
an exclusive lock on the table at this point, which we want to release as soon
as possible. This is called in the phase of lazy vacuum where we truncate the
empty pages at the end of the table.
An alternative solution would be to lower the vacuum delay settings before
starting the truncating phase, but this doesn't work very well in autovacuum
due to the autobalancing code (which can cause other processes to change our
cost delay settings). This case could be considered in the balancing code, but
it is simpler this way.
read from the temp file didn't match the file length reported by ftello(),
the wrong variable's value was printed, and so the message made no sense.
Clean up a couple other coding infelicities while at it.
relcache entry after having heap_close'd it. This could lead to misbehavior
if a relcache flush wiped out the cache entry meanwhile. In 8.2 there is a
very real risk of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY using the wrong relid for locking
and waiting purposes. I think the bug is only cosmetic in 8.0 and 8.1,
because their transgression is limited to using RelationGetRelationName(rel)
in an ereport message immediately after heap_close, and there's no way (except
with special debugging options) for a cache flush to occur in that interval.
Not quite sure that it's cosmetic in 7.4, but seems best to patch anyway.
Found by trying to run the regression tests with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled.
Maybe we should try to do that on a regular basis --- it's awfully slow,
but perhaps some fast buildfarm machine could do it once in awhile.
padded encryption scheme. Formerly it would try to access res[(unsigned) -1],
which resulted in core dumps on 64-bit machines, and was certainly trouble
waiting to happen on 32-bit machines (though in at least the known case
it was harmless because that byte would be overwritten after return).
Per report from Ken Colson; fix by Marko Kreen.
byte after the last full byte of the bit array, regardless of whether that
byte was part of the valid data or not. Found by buildfarm testing.
Thanks to Stefan Kaltenbrunner for nailing down the cause.
row within one query: we were firing check triggers before all the updates
were done, leading to bogus failures. Fix by making the triggers queued by
an RI update go at the end of the outer query's trigger event list, thereby
effectively making the processing "breadth-first". This was indeed how it
worked pre-8.0, so the bug does not occur in the 7.x branches.
Per report from Pavel Stehule.
hash table is allocated in a child context of the agg node's memory
context, MemoryContextReset() will reset but *not* delete the child
context. Since ExecReScanAgg() proceeds to build a new hash table
from scratch (in a new sub-context), this results in leaking the
header for the previous memory context. Therefore, use
MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren() instead.
Credit: My colleague Sailesh Krishnamurthy at Truviso for isolating
the cause of the leak.
on Windows. This is yet another manifestation of the problem that Windows
returns time zone names that may be in a different encoding than we are using.
I've put a better solution in HEAD, but the back branches need a simple patch.
Per report from Hiroshi Saito.
clauses in which one side or the other references both sides of the join
cannot be removed as redundant, because that expression won't have been
constrained below the join. Per report from Sergey Burladyan.
