* If an index depends on no columns of its table, give it a dependency on theTom Lane2007-11-08
| | | | | | | | | whole table instead, to ensure that it goes away when the table is dropped. Per bug #3723 from Sam Mason. Backpatch as far as 7.4; AFAICT 7.3 does not have the issue, because it doesn't have general-purpose expression indexes and so there must be at least one column referenced by an index.

* Fix EquivalenceClass code to handle volatile sort expressions in a moreTom Lane2007-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | predictable manner; in particular that if you say ORDER BY output-column-ref, it will in fact sort by that specific column even if there are multiple syntactic matches. An example is SELECT random() AS a, random() AS b FROM ... ORDER BY b, a; While the use-case for this might be a bit debatable, it worked as expected in earlier releases, so we should preserve the behavior for 8.3. Per my recent proposal. While at it, fix convert_subquery_pathkeys() to handle RelabelType stripping in both directions; it needs this for the same reasons make_sort_from_pathkeys does.
* Last week's patch for make_sort_from_pathkeys wasn't good enough: it hasTom Lane2007-11-08
| | | | | | | to be able to discard top-level RelabelType nodes on *both* sides of the equivalence-class-to-target-list comparison, since make_pathkey_from_sortinfo might either add or remove a RelabelType. Also fix the latter to do the removal case cleanly. Per example from Peter.

* Improve the performance of LIKE/regex estimation in non-C locales, by makingTom Lane2007-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make_greater_string() try harder to generate a string that's actually greater than its input string. Before we just assumed that making a string that was memcmp-greater was enough, but it is easy to generate examples where this is not so when the locale is not C. Instead, loop until the relevant comparison function agrees that the generated string is greater than the input. Unfortunately this is probably not enough to guarantee that the generated string is greater than all extensions of the input, so we cannot relax the restriction to C locale for the LIKE/regex index optimization. But it should at least improve the odds of getting a useful selectivity estimate in prefix_selectivity(). Per example from Guillaume Smet. Backpatch to 8.1, mainly because that's what the complainant is using...
* Fix patternsel() and callers to do the right thing for NOT LIKE and the otherTom Lane2007-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | negated-match operators. patternsel had been using the supplied operator as though it were a positive-match operator, and thus obtaining a wrong result, which was even more wrong after the caller subtracted it from 1. Seems cleanest to give patternsel an explicit "negate" argument so that it knows what's going on. Also install the same factorization scheme for pattern join selectivity estimators; even though they are just stubs at the moment, this may keep someone from making the same type of mistake when they get filled out. Per report from Greg Mullane. Backpatch to 8.2 --- previous releases do not show the problem because patternsel() doesn't actually use the operator directly.

* Some code review for xml.c:Tom Lane2007-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add some more xml_init() calls that might not be necessary, but seem like a good idea to avoid possible problems like we saw in xmlelement(). Fix unsafe assumption that you can keep using the tupledesc of a relcache entry you don't have open. Add missing error checks for SearchSysCache failure. Get rid of handwritten array traversal in xpath() and O(N^2), broken-for-nulls array access code in map_sql_value_to_xml_value(), in favor of using deconstruct_array. Manually adjust a lot of line breaks in places where the code is otherwise gonna look pretty awful after pg_indent hacks it up (original author seems to have liked to lay out code for a 200-column window).
* Fix xmlelement() to initialize libxml correctly before using it, and to avoidTom Lane2007-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | assuming that evaluation of its input expressions won't change the state of libxml. This requires refactoring xml_init() to not call xmlInitParser(), since now not all of its callers want that. I also tweaked things to avoid repeated execution of one-time-only tests inside xml_init(), though this is mostly for clarity rather than in hopes of saving any noticeable amount of runtime. Per report from Sheikh Amjad and subsequent discussion. In passing, fix a couple of inadequately schema-qualified queries.

* Improve conversion of legacy CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER representation ofTom Lane2007-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | foreign keys, one more time. Insist on matching up all three triggers before we create a constraint; this will avoid creation of duplicate constraints in scenarios where a broken FK constraint was repaired by re-adding the constraint without removing the old partial trigger set. Basically, this will work nicely in all cases where the FK was actually functioning correctly in the database that was dumped. It will fail to restore an FK in just one case where we theoretically could restore it: where we find the referenced table's triggers and not the referencing table's trigger. However, in such a scenario it's likely that the user doesn't even realize he still has an FK at all (since the more-likely-to-fail cases aren't enforced), and we'd probably not accomplish much except to cause the reload to fail because the data doesn't meet the FK constraint. Also make the NOTICE logging still more verbose, by adding detail about which of the triggers were found. This seems about all we can do without solving the problem of getting the user's attention at session end.

| | | | | | | | | | | commands into proper foreign-key constraints. Believe the constraint name given in the trigger arguments in preference to the trigger name --- to judge from Olivier Prenant's example, pg_dump must at some time have used the autogenerated trigger name there, though AFAICT no current release branch tip does. Improve the emitted NOTICEs to provide more detail (PK table's name and column names). Handle the case where pg_dump forgot to provide the FROM table (a bug that never did get fixed in 7.0.x apparently). This commit doesn't do anything about the question of what to do with incomplete trigger groups.

* Prevent continuing disk-space bloat when profiling (with PROFILE_PID_DIRTom Lane2007-11-04

Since there will be a steady stream of autovac worker processes exiting and dropping gmon.out files, allowing them to make separate subdirectories results in serious bloat; and it seems unlikely that anyone will care about those profiles anyway. Limit the damage by forcing all autovac workers to dump in one subdirectory, PGDATA/gprof/avworker/. Per report from Jšrg Beyer and subsequent discussion.
