* Have pg_stop_backup() wait for all archive files to be sent, rather thanBruce Momjian2008-04-05

* Re-implement division for numeric values using the traditional "schoolbook"Tom Lane2008-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | algorithm. This is a good deal slower than our old roundoff-error-prone code for long inputs, so we keep the old code for use in the transcendental functions, where everything is approximate anyway. Also create a user-accessible function div(numeric, numeric) to provide access to the exact result of trunc(x/y) --- since the regular numeric / operator will round off its result, simply computing that expression in SQL doesn't reliably give the desired answer. This fixes bug #3387 and various related corner cases, and improves the usefulness of PG for high-precision integer arithmetic.

* Teach ANALYZE to distinguish dead and in-doubt tuples, which it formerlyTom Lane2008-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | classed all as "dead"; also get it to count DEAD item pointers as dead rows, instead of ignoring them as before. Also improve matters so that tuples previously inserted or deleted by our own transaction are handled nicely: the stats collector's live-tuple and dead-tuple counts will end up correct after our transaction ends, regardless of whether we end in commit or abort. While there's more work that could be done to improve the counting of in-doubt tuples in both VACUUM and ANALYZE, this commit is enough to alleviate some known bad behaviors in 8.3; and the other stuff that's been discussed seems like research projects anyway.

* Revert my bad decision of about a year ago to make PortalDefineQueryTom Lane2008-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | responsible for copying the query string into the new Portal. Such copying is unnecessary in the common code path through exec_simple_query, and in this case it can be enormously expensive because the string might contain a large number of individual commands; we were copying the entire, long string for each command, resulting in O(N^2) behavior for N commands. (This is the cause of bug #4079.) A second problem with it is that PortalDefineQuery really can't risk error, because if it elog's before having set up the Portal, we will leak the plancache refcount that the caller is trying to hand off to the portal. So go back to the design in which the caller is responsible for making sure everything is copied into the portal if necessary.

* Support EXECUTE USING in plpgsql.Tom Lane2008-04-01
| | | | Pavel Stehule, with some improvements by myself.
* Add SPI-level support for executing SQL commands with one-time-use plans,Tom Lane2008-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | that is commands that have out-of-line parameters but the plan is prepared assuming that the parameter values are constants. This is needed for the plpgsql EXECUTE USING patch, but will probably have use elsewhere. This commit includes the SPI functions and documentation, but no callers nor regression tests. The upcoming EXECUTE USING patch will provide regression-test coverage. I thought committing this separately made sense since it's logically a distinct feature.
* Fix an oversight I made in a cleanup patch over a year ago:Tom Lane2008-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | eval_const_expressions needs to be passed the PlannerInfo ("root") structure, because in some cases we want it to substitute values for Param nodes. (So "constant" is not so constant as all that ...) This mistake partially disabled optimization of unnamed extended-Query statements in 8.3: in particular the LIKE-to-indexscan optimization would never be applied if the LIKE pattern was passed as a parameter, and constraint exclusion depending on a parameter value didn't work either.
* Apply my original fix for Taiki Yamaguchi's bug report about DISTINCT MAX().Tom Lane2008-03-31

* Fix my brain fade in TRUNCATE triggers patch: can't release relcache refcountsTom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | | | while EState still contains pointers to those relations. Exposed by the CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests that buildfarm member jaguar is running (I knew those cycles would pay off...)
* Use error message wordings for permissions checks on .pgpass and SSL privateTom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | key files that are similar to the one for the postmaster's data directory permissions check. (I chose to standardize on that one since it's the most heavily used and presumably best-wordsmithed by now.) Also eliminate explicit tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe from Kevin Hunter.
* Fix a number of places that were making file-type tests infelicitously.Tom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The places that did, eg, (statbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR were correct, but there is no good reason not to use S_ISDIR() instead, especially when that's what the other 90% of our code does. The places that did, eg, (statbuf.st_mode & S_IFDIR) were flat out *wrong* and would fail in various platform-specific ways, eg a symlink could be mistaken for a regular file on most Unixen. The actual impact of this is probably small, since the problem cases seem to always involve symlinks or sockets, which are unlikely to be found in the directories that PG code might be scanning. But it's clearly trouble waiting to happen, so patch all the way back anyway. (There seem to be no occurrences of the mistake in 7.4.)

* Enable 64-bit integer datetimes by default, per previous discussion.Neil Conway2008-03-30
| | | | | | This requires a working 64-bit integer type. If such a type cannot be found, "--disable-integer-datetimes" can be used to switch back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.

* Department of second thoughts: the rule that ORDER BY and DISTINCT areTom Lane2008-03-28
| | | | | | | | | useless for an ungrouped-aggregate query holds regardless of whether optimize_minmax_aggregates succeeds. So we might as well apply the optimization in any case. I'll leave 8.3 as it was, since this version is a tad more invasive than my earlier patch.

* When we have successfully optimized a MIN or MAX aggregate into an indexscan,Tom Lane2008-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | the query result must be exactly one row (since we don't do this when there's any GROUP BY). Therefore any ORDER BY or DISTINCT attached to the query is useless and can be dropped. Aside from saving useless cycles, this protects us against problems with matching the hacked-up tlist entries to sort clauses, as seen in a bug report from Taiki Yamaguchi. We might need to work harder if we ever try to optimize grouped queries with this approach, but this solution will do for now.

* Reduce the need for frontend programs to include "postgres.h" by refactoringTom Lane2008-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | inclusions in src/include/catalog/*.h files. The main idea here is to push function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers, rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as has been done in the past. This commit only carries out that idea fully for pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment --- if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need to work a bit more.
