* Several changes to reduce the probability of running out of memory duringTom Lane2006-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AbortTransaction, which would lead to recursion and eventual PANIC exit as illustrated in recent report from Jeff Davis. First, in xact.c create a special dedicated memory context for AbortTransaction to run in. This solves the problem as long as AbortTransaction doesn't need more than 32K (or whatever other size we create the context with). But in corner cases it might. Second, in trigger.c arrange to keep pending after-trigger event records in separate contexts that can be freed near the beginning of AbortTransaction, rather than having them persist until CleanupTransaction as before. Third, in portalmem.c arrange to free executor state data earlier as well. These two changes should result in backing off the out-of-memory condition before AbortTransaction needs any significant amount of memory, at least in typical cases such as memory overrun due to too many trigger events or too big an executor hash table. And all the same for subtransaction abort too, of course.

* Get rid of retail definitions of HAVE_STRDUP and HAVE_VSNPRINTF inTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | some of the Windows-only makefiles; the correct place to assert these things is pg_config.h.win32. Per bug #2677.
* Translate Windows' GMT Standard Time/GMT Daylight Time zones toTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | zic's Europe/London, rather than Europe/Dublin as before. This seems a less surprising choice, particularly with respect to dates before 1948. Original suggestion was to translate to straight GMT, but this seems wrong given that these zones *are* DST-aware. Per offlist discussion with Magnus.

* Prevent intratransaction memory leak when a subtransaction is abortedTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | in the middle of executing a SPI query. This doesn't entirely fix the problem of memory leakage in plpgsql exception handling, but it should get rid of the lion's share of leakage.
* Suppress timezone (%Z) part of timestamp display when running on Windows,Tom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | because on that platform strftime produces localized zone names in varying encodings. Even though it's only in a comment, this can cause encoding errors when reloading the dump script. Per suggestion from Andreas Seltenreich. Also, suppress %Z on Windows in the %s escape of log_line_prefix ... not sure why this one is different from the other two, but it shouldn't be.
* Fix plpython to work (or at least pass its regression tests) withTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | python 2.5. This involves fixing several violations of the published spec for creating PyTypeObjects, and adding another regression test expected output for yet another variation of error message spelling.
* Mention pgpool-II can do Clustering For Parallel Query Execution.Bruce Momjian2006-11-21

* On systems that have setsid(2) (which should be just about everything exceptTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Windows), arrange for each postmaster child process to be its own process group leader, and deliver signals SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT to the whole process group not only the direct child process. This provides saner behavior for archive and recovery scripts; in particular, it's possible to shut down a warm-standby recovery server using "pg_ctl stop -m immediate", since delivery of SIGQUIT to the startup subprocess will result in killing the waiting recovery_command. Also, this makes Query Cancel and statement_timeout apply to scripts being run from backends via system(). (There is no support in the core backend for that, but it's widely done using untrusted PLs.) Per gripe from Stephen Harris and subsequent discussion.

* VC build patch from Magnus:Neil Conway2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | Typo in the changes to plperl - uses wrong dir, and had a missing slash. Also fixes error checking for xsubpp - it was broken in a way that hid the problem above when run more than once (which is the normal case when developing).

* If SSL negotiation fails and SSLMODE is 'prefer', then retry without SSL.Tom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | Negotiation failure is only likely to happen if one side or the other is misconfigured, eg. bad client certificate. I'm not 100% convinced that a retry is really the best thing, hence not back-patching this fix for now. Per gripe from Sergio Cinos.

* I noticed that the Partitioning section of the docs has *two* sectionsBruce Momjian2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | of caveats in different places, but close together. One called caveats, one not. That looks like it just led to somebody not reading some appropriate caveats in the second group of caveats (on -admin). Simon Riggs
* Change the default setting for log_min_error_statement to ERROR. PerTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | recent discussion in which majority opinion was that this is a more widely useful setting than the previous default of PANIC.
* Adjust elog.c so that elog(FATAL) exits (including cases where ERROR isTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | promoted to FATAL) end in exit(1) not exit(0). Then change the postmaster to allow exit(1) without a system-wide panic, but not for the startup subprocess or the bgwriter. There were a couple of places that were using exit(1) to deliberately force a system-wide panic; adjust these to be exit(2) instead. This fixes the problem noted back in July that if the startup process exits with elog(ERROR), the postmaster would think everything is hunky-dory and proceed to start up. Alternative solutions such as trying to run the entire startup process as a critical section seem less clean, primarily because of the fact that a fair amount of startup code is shared by all postmaster children in the EXEC_BACKEND case. We'd need an ugly special case somewhere near the head of main.c to make it work if it's the child process's responsibility to determine what happens; and what's the point when the postmaster already treats different children differently?
