* Abort if Tcl support was configured and no tcl shell was found.Peter Eisentraut2008-07-23

* Code review for array_fill patch: fix inadequate check for array size overflowTom Lane2008-07-21
| | | | | | and bogus documentation (dimension arrays are int[] not anyarray). Also the errhint() messages seem to be really errdetail(), since there is nothing heuristic about them. Some other trivial cosmetic improvements.

* Revert patch so .psqlrc can suppress startup banner:Bruce Momjian2008-07-20
| | | | In psql, run .psqlrc _after_ printing warnings and banner.
* Avoid substituting NAMEDATALEN, FLOAT4PASSBYVAL, and FLOAT8PASSBYVAL intoTom Lane2008-07-19
| | | | | | | | | the postgres.bki file during build, because we want that file to be entirely platform- and configuration-independent; else it can't safely be put into /usr/share on multiarch machines. We can do the substitution during initdb, instead. FLOAT4PASSBYVAL and FLOAT8PASSBYVAL are new breakage as of 8.4, while the NAMEDATALEN hazard has been there all along but I guess no one tripped over it. Noticed while trying to build "universal" OS X binaries.
* Adjust things so that the query_string of a cached plan and the sourceText ofTom Lane2008-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a portal are never NULL, but reliably provide the source text of the query. It turns out that there was only one place that was really taking a short-cut, which was the 'EXECUTE' utility statement. That doesn't seem like a sufficiently critical performance hotspot to justify not offering a guarantee of validity of the portal source text. Fix it to copy the source text over from the cached plan. Add Asserts in the places that set up cached plans and portals to reject null source strings, and simplify a bunch of places that formerly needed to guard against nulls. There may be a few places that cons up statements for execution without having any source text at all; I found one such in ConvertTriggerToFK(). It seems sufficient to inject a phony source string in such a case, for instance ProcessUtility((Node *) atstmt, "(generated ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY command)", NULL, false, None_Receiver, NULL); We should take a second look at the usage of debug_query_string, particularly the recently added current_query() SQL function.

* Fix a race condition that I introduced into sinvaladt.c during the recentTom Lane2008-07-18
| | | | | | | | | rewrite. When called from SIInsertDataEntries, SICleanupQueue releases the write lock if it has to issue a kill() to signal some laggard backend. That still seems like a good idea --- but it's possible that by the time we get the lock back, there are no longer enough free message slots to satisfy SIInsertDataEntries' requirement. Must recheck, and repeat the whole SICleanupQueue process if not. Noted while reading code.
* Suppress compiler warning, and not incidentally make the code moreTom Lane2008-07-18

* Add a "provariadic" column to pg_proc to eliminate the remarkably expensiveTom Lane2008-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | need to deconstruct proargmodes for each pg_proc entry inspected by FuncnameGetCandidates(). Fixes function lookup performance regression caused by yesterday's variadic-functions patch. In passing, make pg_proc.probin be NULL, rather than a dummy value '-', in cases where it is not actually used for the particular type of function. This should buy back some of the space cost of the extra column.

* Support "variadic" functions, which can accept a variable number of argumentsTom Lane2008-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type. The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they have to all be the same type). It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch doesn't do that. This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc. Pavel Stehule

* Clean up buildfarm failures arising from the seemingly straightforward pageTom Lane2008-07-14
| | | | | | | macros patch :-(. Results from both baiji and mastodon imply that MSVC fails to perceive offsetof(PageHeaderData, pd_linp[0]) as a constant expression in some contexts where offsetof(PageHeaderData, pd_linp) works fine. Sloth, thy name is Micro.
* Create a type-specific typanalyze routine for tsvector, which collects statsTom Lane2008-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | on the most common individual lexemes in place of the mostly-useless default behavior of counting duplicate tsvectors. Future work: create selectivity estimation functions that actually do something with these stats. (Some other things we ought to look at doing: using the Lossy Counting algorithm in compute_minimal_stats, and using the element-counting idea for stats on regular arrays.) Jan Urbanski
* Change the PageGetContents() macro to guarantee its result is maxalign'd,Tom Lane2008-07-13
| | | | | | | | | thereby forestalling any problems with alignment of the data structure placed there. Since SizeOfPageHeaderData is maxalign'd anyway in 8.3 and HEAD, this does not actually change anything right now, but it is foreseeable that the header size will change again someday. I had to fix a couple of places that were assuming that the content offset is just SizeOfPageHeaderData rather than MAXALIGN(SizeOfPageHeaderData). Per discussion of Zdenek's page-macros patch.
* Clean up the use of some page-header-access macros: principally, useTom Lane2008-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | SizeOfPageHeaderData instead of sizeof(PageHeaderData) in places where that makes the code clearer, and avoid casting between Page and PageHeader where possible. Zdenek Kotala, with some additional cleanup by Heikki Linnakangas. I did not apply the parts of the proposed patch that would have resulted in slightly changing the on-disk format of hash indexes; it seems to me that's not a win as long as there's any chance of having in-place upgrade for 8.4.

* Const-ify the arguments of str_tolower() and friends to suppress compileTom Lane2008-07-12
| | | | | | | | warnings. Clean up various unneeded cruft that was left behind after creating those routines. Introduce some convenience functions str_tolower_z etc to eliminate tedious and error-prone double arguments in formatting.c. (Currently there seems no need to export the latter, but maybe reconsider this later.)
