* Simplify uses of readdir() by creating a function ReadDir() thatTom Lane2005-06-19
| | | | | | | includes error checking and an appropriate ereport(ERROR) message. This gets rid of rather tedious and error-prone manipulation of errno, as well as a Windows-specific bug workaround, at more than a dozen call sites. After an idea in a recent patch by Heikki Linnakangas.
* Arrange to fsync two-phase-commit state files only during checkpoints;Tom Lane2005-06-19
| | | | | | given reasonably short lifespans for prepared transactions, this should mean that only a small minority of state files ever need to be fsynced at all. Per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas.

* When using C-string lookup keys in a dynahash.c hash table, use strncpy()Tom Lane2005-06-18
| | | | | | not memcpy() to copy the offered key into the hash table during HASH_ENTER. This avoids possible core dump if the passed key is located very near the end of memory. Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.
* Add a time-of-preparation column to the pg_prepared_xacts view, per anTom Lane2005-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | old suggestion by Oliver Jowett. Also, add a transaction column to the pg_locks view to show the xid of each transaction holding or awaiting locks; this allows prepared transactions to be properly associated with the locks they own. There was already a column named 'transaction', and I chose to rename it to 'transactionid' --- since this column is new in the current devel cycle there should be no backwards compatibility issue to worry about.

* Change the implementation of hash join to attempt to avoid unnecessaryNeil Conway2005-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | work if either of the join relations are empty. The logic is: (1) if the inner relation's startup cost is less than the outer relation's startup cost and this is not an outer join, read a single tuple from the inner relation via ExecHash() - if NULL, we're done (2) read a single tuple from the outer relation - if NULL, we're done (3) build the hash table on the inner relation - if hash table is empty and this is not an outer join, we're done (4) otherwise, do hash join as usual The implementation uses the new MultiExecProcNode API, per a suggestion from Tom: invoking ExecHash() now produces the first tuple from the Hash node's child node, whereas MultiExecHash() builds the hash table. I had to put in a bit of a kludge to get the row count returned for EXPLAIN ANALYZE to be correct: since ExecHash() is invoked to return a tuple, and then MultiExecHash() is invoked, we would return one too many tuples to EXPLAIN ANALYZE. I hacked around this by just manually detecting this situation and subtracting 1 from the EXPLAIN ANALYZE row count.

* This patch makes it possible to use the full set of timezones when doingBruce Momjian2005-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "AT TIME ZONE", and not just the shorlist previously available. For example: SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/London'; works fine now. It will also obey whatever DST rules were in effect at just that date, which the previous implementation did not. It also supports the AT TIME ZONE on the timetz datatype. The whole handling of DST is a bit bogus there, so I chose to make it use whatever DST rules are in effect at the time of executig the query. not sure if anybody is actuallyi *using* timetz though, it seems pretty unpredictable just because of this...

What I'd like to see is that the table inherited at fork() >contains just the data for the default timezone. (At least in the >normal case where that setting hasn't been changed since postmaster >start.) Here's a patch doing this. Changes score_timezone not to use pg_tzset(), and thus not loading all the zones in the cache. The actual timezone being picked will be set using set_global_timezone() which in turn calls pg_tzset() and loads it in the cache. Magnus Hagander

* Simplify shared-memory lock data structures as per recent discussion:Tom Lane2005-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | it is sufficient to track whether a backend holds a lock or not, and store information about transaction vs. session locks only in the inside-the-backend LocalLockTable. Since there can now be but one PROCLOCK per lock per backend, LockCountMyLocks() is no longer needed, thus eliminating some O(N^2) behavior when a backend holds many locks. Also simplify the LockAcquire/LockRelease API by passing just a 'sessionLock' boolean instead of a transaction ID. The previous API was designed with the idea that per-transaction lock holding would be important for subtransactions, but now that we have subtransactions we know that this is unwanted. While at it, add an 'isTempObject' parameter to LockAcquire to indicate whether the lock is being taken on a temp table. This is not used just yet, but will be needed shortly for two-phase commit.
