* Fix some serious bugs in archive recovery, now that bgwriter is activeHeikki Linnakangas2009-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | during it: When bgwriter is active, the startup process can't perform mdsync() correctly because it won't see the fsync requests accumulated in bgwriter's private pendingOpsTable. Therefore make bgwriter responsible for the end-of-recovery checkpoint as well, when it's active. When bgwriter is active (= archive recovery), the startup process must not accumulate fsync requests to its own pendingOpsTable, since bgwriter won't see them there when it performs restartpoints. Make startup process drop its pendingOpsTable when bgwriter is launched to avoid that. Update minimum recovery point one last time when leaving archive recovery. It won't be updated by the end-of-recovery checkpoint because XLogFlush() sees us as out of recovery already. This fixes bug #4879 reported by Fujii Masao.

* The code to unlink dropped relations in FinishPreparedTransaction() wasHeikki Linnakangas2009-06-25

* Disable pg_standby -l option because the backend doesn't expect the recoveredHeikki Linnakangas2009-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | file to be a symlink. We tried to fix this issue with an earlier server-side patch, but it didn't fix the whole issue. The same bug is present in older releases as well, but the 8.4 train is about to leave the station, and I'm not sure if have consensus on whether we can remove the -l option in back-branches or do we need to attempt a server-side fix to make symlinking safe. Patch by Simon Riggs, per discussion on bug identified by Fujii Masao.

* Fix an ancient error in dist_ps (distance from point to line segment), whichTom Lane2009-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | a number of other geometric operators also depend on. It miscalculated the slope of the perpendicular to the given line segment anytime that slope was other than 0, infinite, or +/-1. In some cases the error would be masked because the true closest point on the line segment was one of its endpoints rather than the intersection point, but in other cases it could give an arbitrarily bad answer. Per bug #4872 from Nick Roosevelt. Bug goes clear back to Berkeley days, so patch all supported branches. Make a couple of cosmetic adjustments while at it.
* Fix the makefiles to fail cleanly if Perl is needed but not present. ThisTom Lane2009-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate ecpg's preproc.y automatically. Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL) elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than trying to ensure each such use is protected individually. Also fix various bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for building from a CVS pull. Per a complaint from Robert Haas.

* For bulk write operations (eg COPY IN), use a ring buffer of 16MB insteadTom Lane2009-06-22
| | | | | | | | of the 256KB limit originally enforced by a patch committed 2008-11-06. Per recent test results, the smaller size resulted in an undesirable decrease in bulk data loading speed, due to COPY processing frequently getting blocked for WAL flushing. This area might need more tweaking later, but this setting seems to be good enough for 8.4.
* Make to_timestamp and friends skip leading spaces before an integer field,Tom Lane2009-06-22

Brendan Jurd Add a couple of regression test cases for this. In passing, get rid of the labeling of the individual test cases; doesn't seem to be good for anything except causing extra work when inserting a test... Tom Lane

| | | | | | | ArrayBuildState, per trouble report from Merlin Moncure. By adopting this fix, we are essentially deciding that aggregate final-functions should not modify their inputs ever. Adjust documentation and comments to match that conclusion.

* Change test tables in copy2 regression test to be temporary tables.Tom Lane2009-06-14
| | | | | | | | | This prevents autovacuum from reclaiming free space in them and causing the test's output row order to change, which is causing intermittent bogus failure reports in the buildfarm. Backpatch to 8.3. The issue exists further back, but since autovacuum was not on by default before 8.3, it's not a problem for buildfarm testing.
* Fix get_sort_group_operators() so that it doesn't think arrays can be groupedTom Lane2009-06-13
