deferred triggers: either one can create more work for the other,
so we have to loop till it's all gone. Per example from andrew@supernews.
Add a regression test to help spot trouble in this area in future.
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.
explicit paths, so that the log can be replayed in a data directory
with a different absolute path than the original had. To avoid forcing
initdb in the 8.0 branch, continue to accept the old WAL log record
types; they will never again be generated however, and the code can be
dropped after the next forced initdb. Per report from Oleg Bartunov.
We still need to think about what it really means to WAL-log CREATE
TABLESPACE commands: we more or less have to put the absolute path
into those, but how to replay in a different context??
locale is C.
Backpatch to 8.0.X because some operating systems were throwing errors
for such operations, rather than ignoring the locale when it was C.
look at the actual aggregate transition datatypes and the actual overhead
needed by nodeAgg.c, instead of using pessimistic round numbers.
Per a discussion with Michael Tiemann.
so that we can get the size of a shared inval message back down to what it
was in 7.4 (and simplify the logic too). Phase 2 of fixing the
'SMgrRelation hashtable corrupted' problem.
is the minimum required fix. I want to look next at taking advantage of
it by simplifying the message semantics in the shared inval message queue,
but that part can be held over for 8.1 if it turns out too ugly.
consistent. On Unix we now always consult getpwuid(); $HOME isn't used
at all. On Windows the code currently consults $USERPROFILE, or $HOME
if that's not defined, but I expect this will change as soon as the win32
hackers come to a consensus. Nothing done yet about changing the file
names used underneath $USERPROFILE.
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
to shared memory as soon as possible, ie, right after read_backend_variables.
The effective difference from the original code is that this happens
before instead of after read_nondefault_variables(), which loads GUC
information and is apparently capable of expanding the backend's memory
allocation more than you'd think it should. This should fix the
failure-to-attach-to-shared-memory reports we've been seeing on Windows.
Also clean up a few bits of unnecessarily grotty EXEC_BACKEND code.
(rd_att) field of a nailed-in-cache relcache entry. This fixes the bug
reported by Alvaro 8-Dec-2004; I believe it probably also explains
Grant Finnemore's report of 10-Sep-2004.
In an unrelated change in the same file, put back 7.4's response to
failure to rename() the relcache init file, ie, unlink the useless
temp file. I did not put back the warning message, since there might
actually be some reason not to have that.
of an inheritance child table is binary-compatible with the rowtype of
its parent, invent an expression node type that does the conversion
correctly. Fixes the new bug exhibited by Kris Shannon as well as a
lot of old bugs that would only show up when using multiple inheritance
or after altering the parent table.
a relation's number of blocks, rather than the possibly-obsolete value
in pg_class.relpages. Scale the value in pg_class.reltuples correspondingly
to arrive at a hopefully more accurate number of rows. When pg_class
contains 0/0, estimate a tuple width from the column datatypes and divide
that into current file size to estimate number of rows. This improved
methodology allows us to jettison the ancient hacks that put bogus default
values into pg_class when a table is first created. Also, per a suggestion
from Simon, make VACUUM (but not VACUUM FULL or ANALYZE) adjust the value
it puts into pg_class.reltuples to try to represent the mean tuple density
instead of the minimal density that actually prevails just after VACUUM.
These changes alter the plans selected for certain regression tests, so
update the expected files accordingly. (I removed join_1.out because
it's not clear if it still applies; we can add back any variant versions
as they are shown to be needed.)
to be processed by GUC before InitPostgres, because any required lookup
of the encoding conversion function has to be done during InitializeClientEncoding.
So, I broke this last week by moving GUC processing to after InitPostgres :-(.
What we can do as a compromise is process non-SUSET variables during
command line scanning (the same as before), and postpone the processing
of only SUSET variables. None of the SUSET variables need to be set
before InitPostgres.
even uglier than it was already :-(. Also, on Windows only, use temporary
shared memory segments instead of ordinary files to pass over critical
variable values from postmaster to child processes. Magnus Hagander
We don't really want to start a new SPI connection, just keep using the old
one; otherwise we have memory management problems as illustrated by
John Kennedy's bug report of today. This requires a bit of a hack to
ensure the SPI stack state is properly restored, but then again what we
were doing before was a hack too, strictly speaking. Add a regression
test to cover this case.
plain SUSET instead. Also delay processing of options received in
client connection request until after we know if the user is a superuser,
so that SUSET values can be set that way by legitimate superusers.
Per recent discussion.
shared memory segment ID. If we can't access the existing shmem segment,
it must not be relevant to our data directory. If we can access it,
then attach to it and check for an actual match to the data directory.
This should avoid some cases of failure-to-restart-after-boot without
introducing any significant risk of failing to detect a still-running
old backend.
estimates when combining the estimates for a range query. As pointed out
by Miquel van Smoorenburg, the existing check for an impossible combined
result would quite possibly fail to detect one default and one non-default
input. It seems better to use the default range query estimate in such
cases. To do so, add a check for an estimate of exactly DEFAULT_INEQ_SEL.
This is a bit ugly because it introduces additional coupling between
clauselist_selectivity and scalarltsel/scalargtsel, but it's not like
there wasn't plenty already...
