* Binary upgrade:Bruce Momjian2009-12-24
| | | | | | | Modify pg_dump --binary-upgrade and add backend support routines to support the preservation of pg_type oids when doing a binary upgrade. This allows user-defined composite types and arrays to be binary upgraded.

* Allow the index name to be omitted in CREATE INDEX, causing the system toTom Lane2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | choose an index name the same as it would do for an unnamed index constraint. (My recent changes to the index naming logic have helped to ensure that this will be a reasonable choice.) Per a suggestion from Peter. A necessary side-effect is to promote CONCURRENTLY to type_func_name_keyword status, ie, it can't be a table/column/index name anymore unless quoted. This is not all bad, since we have heard more than once of people typing CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY ON foo (...) and getting a normal index build of an index named "concurrently", which was not what they wanted. Now this syntax will result in a concurrent build of an index with system-chosen name; which they can rename afterwards if they want something else.
* Remove code that attempted to rename index columns to keep them in sync withTom Lane2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | their underlying table columns. That code was not bright enough to cope with collision situations (ie, new name conflicts with some other column of the index). Since there is no functional reason to do this at all, trying to upgrade the logic to be bulletproof doesn't seem worth the trouble. This change means that both the index name and the column names of an index are set when it's created, and won't be automatically changed when the underlying table columns are renamed. Neatnik DBAs are still free to rename them manually, of course.

* Always pass catalog id to the options validator function specified inHeikki Linnakangas2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER. Arguably it wasn't a bug because the documentation said that it's passed the catalog ID or zero, but surely we should provide it when it's known. And there isn't currently any scenario where it's not known, and I can't imagine having one in the future either, so better remove the "or zero" escape hatch and always pass a valid catalog ID. Backpatch to 8.4. Martin Pihlak
* Rename pg_dump.c TypeInfo variable tinfo to tyinfo, for clarity.Bruce Momjian2009-12-23

* Adjust naming of indexes and their columns per recent discussion.Tom Lane2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index expression columns are now named after the FigureColname result for their expressions, rather than always being "pg_expression_N". Digits are appended to this name if needed to make the column name unique within the index. (That happens for regular columns too, thus fixing the old problem that CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo (f1, f1) fails. Before exclusion indexes there was no real reason to do such a thing, but now maybe there is.) Default names for indexes and associated constraints now include the column names of all their columns, not only the first one as in previous practice. (Of course, this will be truncated as needed to fit in NAMEDATALEN. Also, pkey indexes retain the historical behavior of not naming specific columns at all.) An example of the results: regression=# create table foo (f1 int, f2 text, regression(# exclude (f1 with =, lower(f2) with =)); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / EXCLUDE will create implicit index "foo_f1_lower_exclusion" for table "foo" CREATE TABLE regression=# \d foo_f1_lower_exclusion Index "public.foo_f1_lower_exclusion" Column | Type | Definition --------+---------+------------ f1 | integer | f1 lower | text | lower(f2) btree, for table "public.foo"
* Disallow comments on columns of relation types other than tables, views,Tom Lane2009-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | and composite types, which are the only relkinds for which pg_dump support exists for dumping column comments. There is no obvious usefulness for comments on columns of sequences or toast tables; and while comments on index columns might have some value, it's not worth the risk of compatibility problems due to possible changes in the algorithm for assigning names to index columns. Per discussion. In consequence, remove now-dead code for copying such comments in CREATE TABLE LIKE.

* Allow read only connections during recovery, known as Hot Standby.Simon Riggs2009-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record. New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far. This commit is the basic patch. Additional changes will follow in this release to enhance some aspects of behaviour, notably improved handling of conflicts, deadlock detection and query cancellation. Changes to VACUUM FULL are also required. Simon Riggs, with significant and lengthy review by Heikki Linnakangas, including streamlined redesign of snapshot creation and two-phase commit.

* Force the TZ environment variable to be set during initdb. This is toTom Lane2009-12-18
| | | | | | | | | short-circuit the rather expensive identify_system_timezone() procedure, which we have no real need for during initdb since nothing done here depends on the timezone setting. Since we launch quite a few standalone backends during the initdb sequence, this adds up to a significant savings, and seems worth doing to save developer time even though it will hardly matter to end users. Per my report today on pgsql-hackers.
* Improve documentation for pg_largeobject changes.Robert Haas2009-12-17
| | | | | | | | | Rewrite the documentation in more idiomatic English, and in the process make it somewhat more succinct. Move the discussion of specific large object privileges out of the "server-side functions" section, where it certainly doesn't belong, and into "implementation features". That might not be exactly right either, but it doesn't seem worth creating a new section for this amount of information. Fix a few spelling and layout problems, too.

* Don't unblock SIGQUIT in the SIGQUIT handlerPeter Eisentraut2009-12-16
| | | | | | This was possibly linked to a deadlock-like situation in glibc syslog code invoked by the ereport call in quickdie(). In any case, a signal handler should not unblock its own signal unless there is a specific reason to.
* If there is no sigdelset(), define it as a macro.Peter Eisentraut2009-12-16
| | | | | This removes some duplicate code that recreated the identical workaround when the newer signal API is missing.
* Avoid a premature coercion failure in transformSetOperationTree() whenTom Lane2009-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | presented with an UNKNOWN-type Var, which can happen in cases where an unknown literal appeared in a subquery. While many such cases will fail later on anyway in the planner, there are some cases where the planner is able to flatten the query and replace the Var by the constant before it has to coerce the union column to the final type. I had added this check in 8.4 to provide earlier/better error detection, but it causes a regression for some cases that worked OK before. Fix by not making the check if the input node is UNKNOWN type and not a Const or Param. If it isn't going to work, it will fail anyway at plan time, with the only real loss being inability to provide an error cursor. Per gripe from Britt Piehler. In passing, rename a couple of variables to remove confusion from an inner scope masking the same variable names in an outer scope.
* Several fixes for EXPLAIN (FORMAT YAML), plus one for EXPLAIN (FORMAT JSON).Robert Haas2009-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExplainSeparatePlans() was busted for both JSON and YAML output - the present code is a holdover from the original version of my machine-readable explain patch, which didn't have the grouping_stack machinery. Also, fix an odd distribution of labor between ExplainBeginGroup() and ExplainYAMLLineStarting() when marking lists with "- ", with each providing one character. This broke the output format for multi-query statements. Also, fix ExplainDummyGroup() for the YAML output format. Along the way, make the YAML format use escape_yaml() in situations where the JSON format uses escape_json(). Right now, it doesn't matter because all the values are known not to need escaping, but it seems safer this way. Finally, I added some comments to better explain what the YAML output format is doing. Greg Sabino Mullane reported the issues with multi-query statements. Analysis and remaining cleanups by me.

* Avoid unnecessary copying of source string when generating a cloned TParser.Tom Lane2009-12-15

* Support ORDER BY within aggregate function calls, at long last providing aTom Lane2009-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | non-kluge method for controlling the order in which values are fed to an aggregate function. At the same time eliminate the old implementation restriction that DISTINCT was only supported for single-argument aggregates. Possibly release-notable behavioral change: formerly, agg(DISTINCT x) dropped null values of x unconditionally. Now, it does so only if the agg transition function is strict; otherwise nulls are treated as DISTINCT normally would, ie, you get one copy. Andrew Gierth, reviewed by Hitoshi Harada
