* Clean up pg_SSPI_error() coding a little bit: make the messages moreTom Lane2009-03-22
| | | | | consistent, translate where intended, const-ify declarations. Resolves a gripe from Alvaro as well as some stuff I didn't like.
* Remove the -d and -D options of pg_dump and pg_dumpall. The functionalityTom Lane2009-03-22
| | | | | | | is still available, but you must now write the long equivalent --inserts or --column-inserts. This change is made to eliminate confusion with the use of -d to specify a database name in most other Postgres client programs. Original patch by Greg Mullane, modified per subsequent discussion.
* Remove the datetime keywords ABSTIME and RELTIME, which we'd been treating asTom Lane2009-03-22
| | | | | | | | noise words for the last twelve years, for compatibility with Berkeley-era output formatting of the special INVALID values for those datatypes. Considering that the datatypes themselves have been deprecated for awhile, this is taking backwards compatibility a little far. Per gripe from Josh Berkus.
* Optimize multi-batch hash joins when the outer relation has a nonuniformTom Lane2009-03-21
| | | | | | | | | distribution, by creating a special fast path for the (first few) most common values of the outer relation. Tuples having hashvalues matching the MCVs are effectively forced to be in the first batch, so that we never write them out to the batch temp files. Bryce Cutt and Ramon Lawrence, with some editorialization by me.

* Don't set the signal handler for SIGQUIT on Windows. Buildfarm shows thatHeikki Linnakangas2009-03-18
| | | | | | | reinstalling the default signal handler doesn't work as it is on Windows. Presumably core dumps on SIGQUIT are not a problem on Windows, so rather than figure out what header files or other changes are required to make it work, just don't bother.
* Be more clear about when to use gist__int_ops vs. gist__intbig_ops.Tom Lane2009-03-18
| | | | Per suggestion from Ron Mayer.
* Don't intercept SIGQUIT as a signal to trigger failover; that's whatHeikki Linnakangas2009-03-18
| | | | | | | postmaster uses for immediate shutdown. Trap SIGUSR1 as the preferred signal for that. Per report by Fujii Masao and subsequent discussion on -hackers.

* Clean up the code for to_timestamp's conversion of year plus ISO day numberTom Lane2009-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | to date, as per bug #4702 and subsequent discussion. In particular, make it work for years specified using AD/BC or CC fields, and fix the test for "no year specified" so that it doesn't trigger inappropriately for 1 BC (which it was doing even in code paths that had nothing to do with to_timestamp). I also did some minor code beautification in the non-ISO-day-number code path. This area has been busted all along, but because the code has been rewritten repeatedly, it would be considerable trouble to back-patch. It's such a corner case that it doesn't seem worth the effort.
* Fix identify_locking_dependencies to reflect the fact that fix_dependenciesTom Lane2009-03-13
| | | | previously repointed TABLE dependencies to TABLE DATA. Mea culpa.
* Restore previous ordering of BUFFER_FLUSH_START probe. I had wanted toTom Lane2009-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | make it include the time for the possible smgropen() call, but that results in a null pointer dereference :-(. An alternative solution would be to fetch the buffer tag instead of looking at *reln, but I'll just put it back as it was for the moment. BTW, this indicates that DTrace probes evaluate their arguments even when nominally inactive. What was that about "zero cost", again?

* Fix core dump due to null-pointer dereference in to_char() when datetimeTom Lane2009-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | format codes are misapplied to a numeric argument. (The code still produces a pretty bogus error message in such cases, but I'll settle for stopping the crash for now.) Per bug #4700 from Sergey Burladyan. Problem exists in all supported branches, so patch all the way back. In HEAD, also clean up some ugly coding in the nearby cache management code.
* Code review for dtrace probes added (so far) to 8.4. Adjust placement ofTom Lane2009-03-11
| | | | | | | some bufmgr probes, take out redundant and memory-leak-inducing path arguments to smgr__md__read__done and smgr__md__write__done, fix bogus attempt to recalculate space used in sort__done, clean up formatting in places where I'm not sure pgindent will do a nice job by itself.
* Some languages have symbols with zero display's width or/and vowels/signs whichTeodor Sigaev2009-03-11
| | | | | | | | | are not an alphabetic character although they are not word-breakers too. So, treat them as part of word. Per off-list discussion with Dibyendra Hyoju <dibyendra@gmail.com> and and Bal Krishna Bal <balkrishna7bal@gmail.com> about Nepali language and Devanagari alphabet.
* Use thread-local storage for querybuffer in fmtId() on Windows, when needed ↵Andrew Dunstan2009-03-11
| | | | | | | | (i.e. when running pg_restore, which might run in parallel). Only reopen archive file when we really need to read from it, in parallel code. Otherwise, close it immediately in a worker, if possible.
* Improve match_special_index_operator() to recognize that LIKE with anTom Lane2009-03-11
| | | | | | | | | exact-match pattern (no wildcard) can be index-optimized in some cases where a prefix-match pattern cannot; specifically, since the required index clause is simple equality, it works for regular text/varchar indexes even when the locale is not C. I'm not sure how often this case really comes up, but since it requires hardly any additional work to handle it, we might as well get it right. Motivated by a discussion on the JDBC list.
* Make SubPlan nodes carry the result's typmod as well as datatype OID. This isTom Lane2009-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | for consistency with the (relatively) recent addition of typmod to SubLink. An example of why it's a good idea is to be seen in the recent "failed to locate grouping columns" bug, which wouldn't have happened if a SubPlan exposed the same typmod info as the SubLink it was derived from. This could be back-patched, since it doesn't affect any on-disk data format, but for the moment it doesn't seem necessary to do so.
* Fix set_subquery_pathlist() to copy the RTE's subquery before it gets mangledTom Lane2009-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | by the planning process. This prevents the "failed to locate grouping columns" error recently reported by Dickson Guedes. That happens because planning replaces SubLinks by SubPlans in the subquery's targetlist, and exprTypmod() is smarter about the former than the latter, causing the apparent type of the subquery's output columns to change. This seems to be a deficiency we should fix in exprTypmod(), but that will be a much more invasive patch with possible side-effects elsewhere, so I'll do that only in HEAD. Back-patch to 8.3. Arguably the lack of a copying step is broken/dangerous all the way back, but in the absence of known problems I'll refrain from making the older branches pay the extra cost. (The reason this particular symptom didn't appear before is that exprTypmod() wasn't smart about SubLinks either, until 8.3.)

* Tweak the regression test case so that the ordering of numbers vs. lettersPeter Eisentraut2009-03-09

* Separate the key word list that lived in keywords.c into a new header fileAlvaro Herrera2009-03-07
| | | | | | | kwlist.h, to avoid having to link the backend object file into other programs like pg_dump. We can now simply symlink a single source file from the backend (kwlookup.c, containing the shared routine ScanKeywordLookup) and compile it locally, which is a lot cleaner.
* Teach the planner to support index access methods that only implementTom Lane2009-03-05
| | | | | | | amgettuple or only implement amgetbitmap, instead of the former assumption that every AM supports both APIs. Extracted with minor editorialization from Teodor's fast-GIN-insert patch; whatever becomes of that, this seems like a simple and reasonable generalization of the index AM interface spec.

* Fix column privilege checking for cases where parent and child have differentTom Lane2009-03-05
