* Minor adjustments to make failures in startup/shutdown behave more cleanly.Tom Lane2006-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG no longer need to be critical sections, because in all contexts where they are invoked, elog(ERROR) would be translated to elog(FATAL) anyway. (One change in bgwriter.c is needed to make this true: set ExitOnAnyError before trying to exit. This is a good fix anyway since the existing code would have gone into an infinite loop on elog(ERROR) during shutdown.) That avoids a misleading report of PANIC during semi-orderly failures. Modify the postmaster to include the startup process in the set of processes that get SIGTERM when a fast shutdown is requested, and also fix it to not try to restart the bgwriter if the bgwriter fails while trying to write the shutdown checkpoint. Net result is that "pg_ctl stop -m fast" does something reasonable for a system in warm standby mode, and so should Unix system shutdown (ie, universal SIGTERM). Per gripe from Stephen Harris and some corner-case testing of my own.

* Mark to_char(timestamp without timezone) as stable, not immutable, since itsTom Lane2006-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | result now depends on the lc_messages setting, as noted by Bruce. Also, mark to_number() and the numeric-type variants of to_char() as stable, because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding oversight. Also, mark to_date() and to_char(interval) as stable; although these appear not to depend on any GUC variables as of CVS HEAD, that seems a property unlikely to survive future improvements. It seems best to mark all the formatting functions stable and be done with it. catversion not bumped, because this does not seem critical enough to force a post-RC1 initdb, and anyway we cannot do so in the back branches.

| | | | | | | | | (in particular, causing the ReadyForQuery message to be eaten) before returning from do_copy. The only known consequence of failing to do so is that get_prompt might show a wrong result for the %x transaction status escape, as reported by Bernd Helmle; but it's possible there are other issues. Back-patch as far as 7.4, the oldest version supporting %x.

* Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-addedTom Lane2006-11-24
| | | | | | | | | vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random spot in the middle as in the original patch. This was deemed more usable as well as less likely to break existing application code. initdb forced accordingly. In passing, remove former kluge for initializing pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.
* Make contrib/isn pass the opr_sanity sanity checks: add missingTom Lane2006-11-24
| | | | | | | | commutator operators, and mark hash-opclass members as oprcanhash. This is a pretty ugly, brute-force solution, but it seems that getting rid of all these redundant-looking operators would require some tweaks in the core operator-resolution code to behave nicely, and I'm not willing to risk that just before RC1.
