* Fix planner to do the right thing when a degenerate outer join (one whoseTom Lane2006-12-12
| | | | | | | joinclause doesn't use any outer-side vars) requires a "bushy" plan to be created. The normal heuristic to avoid joins with no joinclause has to be overridden in that case. Problem is new in 8.2; before that we forced the outer join order anyway. Per example from Teodor.

* Add a paramtypmod field to Param nodes. This is dead weight for ParamsTom Lane2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | representing externally-supplied values, since the APIs that carry such values only specify type not typmod. However, for PARAM_SUBLINK Params it is handy to carry the typmod of the sublink's output column. This is a much cleaner solution for the recently reported 'could not find pathkey item to sort' and 'failed to find unique expression in subplan tlist' bugs than my original 8.2-compatible patch. Besides, someday we might want to support typmods for external parameters ...

* Remove the logId/logSeg fields from pg_control, because they are not neededTom Lane2006-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in normal operation, and we can avoid rewriting pg_control at every log segment switch if we don't insist that these values be valid. Reducing the number of pg_control updates is a good idea for both performance and reliability. It does make pg_resetxlog's life a bit harder, but that seems a good tradeoff; and anyway the change to pg_resetxlog amounts to automating something people formerly needed to do by hand, namely look at the existing pg_xlog files to make sure the new WAL start point was past them. In passing, change the wording of xlog.c's "database system was interrupted" messages: describe the pg_control timestamp as "last known up at" rather than implying it is the exact time of service interruption. With this change the timestamp will generally be the time of the last checkpoint, which could be many minutes before the failure; and we've already seen indications that people tend to misinterpret the old wording. initdb forced due to change in pg_control layout.

| | | | | | | release it in a subtransaction abort, but this neglects possibility that someone outside SPI already did. Fix is for spi.c to forget about a tuptable as soon as it's handed it back to the caller. Per bug #2817 from Michael Andreen.
* Repair incorrect placement of WHERE clauses when there are multiple,Tom Lane2006-12-07
| | | | | | | rearrangeable outer joins and the WHERE clause is non-strict and mentions only nullable-side relations. New bug in 8.2, caused by new logic to allow rearranging outer joins. Per bug #2807 from Ross Cohen; thanks to Jeff Davis for producing a usable test case.
* Fix planning of SubLinks to ensure that Vars generated from transformation ofTom Lane2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | a sublink's test expression have the correct vartypmod, rather than defaulting to -1. There's at least one place where this is important because we're expecting these Vars to be exactly equal() to those appearing in the subplan itself. This is a pretty klugy solution --- it would likely be cleaner to change Param nodes to include a typmod field --- but we can't do that in the already-released 8.2 branch. Per bug report from Hubert Fongarnand.
* Add a txn_start column to pg_stat_activity. This makes it easier toNeil Conway2006-12-06
