7c63d0c72e Change a couple of ill-advised uses of INFO elog level to WARNINGs; in
particular this allows EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders messages to show up in the
postmaster log by default.  Update elog.h comment to make it clearer what INFO
is for, and fix one example in the SGML docs that was misusing it.  Per my
gripe of yesterday.

229bffedbc Revert the default toast compression strategy to the former behavior
where there's no limit on the size of datum we'll try to compress.
Other 8.4 tweaks to the behavior remain in place.  Per discussion.

7ffe657225 Fix logic in lazy vacuum to decide if it's worth trying to truncate the heap.
If the table was smaller than REL_TRUNCATE_FRACTION (= 16) pages, we always
tried to acquire AccessExclusiveLock on it even if there was no empty pages
at the end.

Report by Simon Riggs. Back-patch all the way to 7.4.

10374a34c6 Fix an oversight in the function-default-arguments patch: after adding some
default expressions to a function call, eval_const_expressions must recurse on
those expressions.  Else they don't get simplified, and in particular we fail
to insert additional default arguments if any functions needing defaults are
in there.  Per report from Rushabh Lathia.

ba748f7a11 Change the reloptions machinery to use a table-based parser, and provide
a more complete framework for writing custom option processing routines
by user-defined access methods.

Catalog version bumped due to the general API changes, which are going to
affect user-defined "amoptions" routines.

1efd5ff89b Add a pg_encoding_mbcliplen() function that is just like pg_mbcliplen()
except the caller can specify the encoding to work in; this will be needed
for pg_stat_statements.  In passing, do some marginal efficiency hacking
and clean up some comments.  Also, prevent the single-byte-encoding code
path from fetching one byte past the stated length of the string (this
last is a bug that might need to be back-patched at some point).

4605d1c98b Allow loadable modules to create PGC_POSTMASTER GUC variables, but only
when loaded via shared_preload_libraries.  Needed for support of
pg_stat_statements, or pretty much anything else that wants a GUC to
control size of a shared memory allocation.

dad75a62bf Create a "shmem_startup_hook" to be called at the end of shared memory
initialization, to give loadable modules a reasonable place to perform
creation of any shared memory areas they need.  This is the logical conclusion
of our previous creation of RequestAddinShmemSpace() and RequestAddinLWLocks().
We don't need an explicit shmem_shutdown_hook, because the existing
on_shmem_exit and on_proc_exit mechanisms serve that need.

Also, adjust SubPostmasterMain so that libraries that got loaded into the
postmaster will be loaded into all child processes, not only regular backends.
This improves consistency with the non-EXEC_BACKEND behavior, and might be
necessary for functionality for some types of add-ons.

bbeb0bbf6b Include a pointer to the query's source text in QueryDesc structs. This is
practically free given prior 8.4 changes in plancache and portal management,
and it makes it a lot easier for ExecutorStart/Run/End hooks to get at the
query text.  Extracted from Itagaki Takahiro's pg_stat_statements patch,
with minor editorialization.

a27addbc87 Make it possible to change Kerberos/GSSAPI parameters without restarting

a matter of re-labeling the GUCs.

bdcc7576f4 write_nondefault_variables must take care to write custom_variable_classes
first; otherwise backends reading the file might reject values of custom
variables.  Per experimentation with auto_explain.
2009-01-02 02:02:10 +00:00
Tom Lane
ccdb6627ee Tweak guc.c to allow underscores in the names of custom variable classes,
and change auto_explain's custom GUC variables to be named auto_explain.xxx
not just explain.xxx.  Per discussion in connection with the
pg_stat_statements patch, it seems like a good idea to have the convention
that custom variable classes are named the same as their defining module.
Committing separately since this should happen regardless of what happens
with pg_stat_statements itself.

87081b2d35 Fix an oversight in my patch of a couple weeks ago that ensured a snapshot
is available during datatype input in Bind message processing.  I put the
PopActiveSnapshot() or equivalent just before PortalDefineQuery, which is
an unsafe spot for it (in 8.3 and later) because we are carrying a plancache
refcount that hasn't yet been assigned to the portal.  Any error thrown there
would result in leaking the refcount.  It's not exactly likely that
PopActiveSnapshot would throw an elog, perhaps, but it could happen.
Reorder the code and add another comment warning not to do that.

df0ea5a1cd Throw error if a <window definition> references a window that already has a
frame clause, as appears to be required by the fine print in the SQL spec.
Per discussion with Pavel, not doing so risks user confusion.

26ce4e85a1 Add a WINDOW attribute to CREATE FUNCTION, and teach pg_dump about it,
so that user-defined window functions are possible.  For the moment you'll
have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API
in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all.

There was some debate about the best syntax for this.  I ended up choosing
the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be
more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is
probably too small to justify it.
2008-12-31 02:25:06 +00:00
Tom Lane
8e8854daa2 Add some basic support for window frame clauses to the window-functions
patch.  This includes the ability to force the frame to cover the whole
partition, and the ability to make the frame end exactly on the current row
rather than its last ORDER BY peer.  Supporting any more of the full SQL
frame-clause syntax will require nontrivial hacking on the window aggregate
code, so it'll have to wait for 8.5 or beyond.

1b1b0ac8d0 Fix oversight in ALTER TABLE ENABLE/DISABLE RULE patch: the new enabled

38e9348282 Make a couple of small changes to the tuplestore API, for the benefit of the
upcoming window-functions patch.  First, tuplestore_trim is now an
exported function that must be explicitly invoked by callers at
appropriate times, rather than something that tuplestore tries to do
behind the scenes.  Second, a read pointer that is marked as allowing
backward scan no longer prevents truncation.  This means that a read pointer
marked as having BACKWARD but not REWIND capability can only safely read
backwards as far as the oldest other read pointer.  (The expected use pattern
for this involves having another read pointer that serves as the truncation
fencepost.)

cef8efc62d Don't use OidIsValid to check the return value of transformGenericOptions,
because transformGenericOptions returns an array, not an Oid. I'm not

anyway.

adac22bf8a When we added the ability to have zero-element ARRAY[] constructs by adding an
explicit cast to show the intended array type, we forgot to teach ruleutils.c
to print out such constructs properly.  Found by noting bogus output from
recent changes in polymorphism regression test.

4ac592be6c Fix oversight in my recent patch to allow ExecMakeFunctionResult to handle
materialize-mode set results.  Since it now uses the ReturnSetInfo node
to hold internal state, we need to be sure to set up the node even when
the immediately called function doesn't return set (but does have a set-valued
argument).  Per report from Anupama Aherrao.

dcf8409985 Don't reset pg_class.reltuples and relpages in VACUUM, if any pages were
skipped. We could update relpages anyway, but it seems better to only
update it together with reltuples, because we use the reltuples/relpages
ratio in the planner. Also don't update n_live_tuples in pgstat.

ANALYZE in VACUUM ANALYZE now needs to update pg_class, if the
VACUUM-phase didn't do so. Added some boolean-passing to let analyze_rel
know if it should update pg_class or not.

I also moved the relcache invalidation (to update rd_targblock) from
vac_update_relstats to where RelationTruncate is called, because
vac_update_relstats is not called for partial vacuums anymore. It's more
obvious to send the invalidation close to the truncation that requires it.

5a90bc1fbe The attached patch contains a couple of fixes in the existing probes and
includes a few new ones.

- Fixed compilation errors on OS X for probes that use typedefs
- Fixed a number of probes to pass ForkNumber per the relation forks
patch
- The new probes are those that were taken out from the previous
submitted patch and required simple fixes. Will submit the other probes
that may require more discussion in a separate patch.

fc3297d828 Make heap_update() set newtup->t_tableOid correctly, for consistency with
the other major heapam.c functions.  The only known consequence of this
omission is that UPDATE RETURNING failed to return the correct value for
"tableoid", as per report from KaiGai Kohei.

Back-patch to 8.2.  Arguably it's wrong all the way back; but without
evidence of visible breakage before RETURNING was added, I'll desist from
patching the older branches.

66bb74dbe8 Arrange for the pg_foo_is_visible and has_foo_privilege families of functions
to return NULL, instead of erroring out, if the target object is specified by
OID and we can't find that OID in the catalogs.  Since these functions operate
internally on SnapshotNow rules, there is a race condition when using them
in user queries: the query's MVCC snapshot might "see" a catalog row that's
already committed dead, leading to a failure when the inquiry function is
applied.  Returning NULL should generally provide more convenient behavior.
This issue has been complained of before, and in particular we are now seeing
it in the regression tests due to another recent patch.

301194f8ea Reduce the scaling factor for attstattarget to number-of-lexemes from 100
to 10, to compensate for the recent change in default statistics target.
The original number was pulled out of the air anyway :-(, but it was picked
in the context of the old default, so holding the default size of the
MCELEM array constant seems the best thing.  Per discussion.

b4d64a6d48 Remove our dependencies on MB_CUR_MAX in favor of believing that
pg_database_encoding_max_length() predicts the maximum character length
returned by wchar2char().  Per Hiroshi Inoue, MB_CUR_MAX isn't usable on
Windows because we allow encoding = UTF8 when the locale says differently;
and getting rid of it seems a good idea on general principles because it
narrows our dependence on libc's locale API just a little bit more.

Also install a check for overflow of the buffer size computation.

a9d5f30be3 Restore enforce_generic_type_consistency's pre-8.3 behavior of allowing an
actual argument type of ANYARRAY to match an argument declared ANYARRAY,
so long as ANYELEMENT etc aren't used.  I had overlooked the fact that this
is a possible case while fixing bug #3852; but it is possible because
pg_statistic contains columns declared ANYARRAY.  Per gripe from Corey Horton.
