* Add NOWAIT option to SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE.Tom Lane2005-08-01
| | | | | Original patch by Hans-Juergen Schoenig, revisions by Karel Zak and Tom Lane.
* Add per-user and per-database connection limit options.Tom Lane2005-07-31
| | | | | This patch also includes preliminary update of pg_dumpall for roles. Petr Jelinek, with review by Bruce Momjian and Tom Lane.
* Fix compile for no O_SYNC, but introduced with O_DIRECT.Bruce Momjian2005-07-30
|
* Clean up a number of autovacuum loose ends. Make the stats collectorTom Lane2005-07-29
| | | | | | | | track shared relations in a separate hashtable, so that operations done from different databases are counted correctly. Add proper support for anti-XID-wraparound vacuuming, even in databases that are never connected to and so have no stats entries. Miscellaneous other bug fixes. Alvaro Herrera, some additional fixes by Tom Lane.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also, write multiple WAL buffers out in one write() operation.

* Add SET ROLE. This is a partial commit of Stephen Frost's recent patch;Tom Lane2005-07-25
| | | | I'm still working on the has_role function and information_schema changes.
* Remove unintended code addition.Bruce Momjian2005-07-23
|
* Macro alignment cleanup.Bruce Momjian2005-07-23
|
* Fix a couple of bogus comments, per Alvaro.Tom Lane2005-07-13
|
* Even though I'd like to see full_page_writes go away before 8.1,Tom Lane2005-07-08
| | | | | a minimum requirement is that it not completely break the system meanwhile. Put the test in the right place.
* Add GUC full_page_writes to control writing full pages to WAL.Bruce Momjian2005-07-05
|
* Arrange for the postmaster (and standalone backends, initdb, etc) toTom Lane2005-07-04
| | | | | | | | chdir into PGDATA and subsequently use relative paths instead of absolute paths to access all files under PGDATA. This seems to give a small performance improvement, and it should make the system more robust against naive DBAs doing things like moving a database directory that has a live postmaster in it. Per recent discussion.
* Improve the checkpoint signaling mechanism so that the bgwriter can tellTom Lane2005-06-30
| | | | | | | | the difference between checkpoints forced due to WAL segment consumption and checkpoints forced for other reasons (such as CREATE DATABASE). Avoid generating 'checkpoints are occurring too frequently' messages when the checkpoint wasn't caused by WAL segment consumption. Per gripe from Chris K-L.
* Clean up the rather historically encumbered interface to now() andTom Lane2005-06-29
| | | | | | | | current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t and microseconds fields. This is what all the callers really want anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime, which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.
* Replace pg_shadow and pg_group by new role-capable catalogs pg_authidTom Lane2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should be pretty much done.
* Need #include <time.h> on some platforms.Tom Lane2005-06-19
|
* Simplify uses of readdir() by creating a function ReadDir() thatTom Lane2005-06-19
| | | | | | | includes error checking and an appropriate ereport(ERROR) message. This gets rid of rather tedious and error-prone manipulation of errno, as well as a Windows-specific bug workaround, at more than a dozen call sites. After an idea in a recent patch by Heikki Linnakangas.
* Arrange to fsync two-phase-commit state files only during checkpoints;Tom Lane2005-06-19
| | | | | | given reasonably short lifespans for prepared transactions, this should mean that only a small minority of state files ever need to be fsynced at all. Per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas.
* Add a time-of-preparation column to the pg_prepared_xacts view, per anTom Lane2005-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | old suggestion by Oliver Jowett. Also, add a transaction column to the pg_locks view to show the xid of each transaction holding or awaiting locks; this allows prepared transactions to be properly associated with the locks they own. There was already a column named 'transaction', and I chose to rename it to 'transactionid' --- since this column is new in the current devel cycle there should be no backwards compatibility issue to worry about.
* Dept. of second thoughts: regular COMMIT deletes deletable files beforeTom Lane2005-06-18
| | | | releasing locks, so COMMIT PREPARED should too.
* Two-phase commit. Original patch by Heikki Linnakangas, with additionalTom Lane2005-06-17
| | | | hacking by Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
* Remove old *.backup files when we do pg_stop_backup(). ThisBruce Momjian2005-06-15
| | | | prevents a large number of *.backup files from existing in pg_xlog/
* WAL for GiST. It work for online backup and so on, but onTeodor Sigaev2005-06-14
| | | | | | | recovery after crash (power loss etc) it may say that it can't restore index and index should be reindexed. Some refactoring code.
* Free buffer allocated via malloc (process is short-lived, but fix it anyway).Bruce Momjian2005-06-09
|
* Change WAL-logging scheme for multixacts to be more like regularTom Lane2005-06-08
| | | | | | transaction IDs, rather than like subtrans; in particular, the information now survives a database restart. Per previous discussion, this is essential for PITR log shipping and for 2PC.
* Modify XLogInsert API to make callers specify whether pages to be backedTom Lane2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | up have the standard layout with unused space between pd_lower and pd_upper. When this is set, XLogInsert will omit the unused space without bothering to scan it to see if it's zero. That saves time in XLogInsert, and also allows reversion of my earlier patch to make PageRepairFragmentation et al explicitly re-zero freed space. Per suggestion by Heikki Linnakangas.
* Remove the mostly-stubbed-out-anyway support routines for WAL UNDO.Tom Lane2005-06-06
| | | | | | That code is never going to be used in the foreseeable future, and where it's more than a stub it's making the redo routines harder to read.
* Change CRCs in WAL records from 64bit to 32bit for performance reasons.Tom Lane2005-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of a separate CRC on each backup block, include backup blocks in their parent WAL record's CRC; this is important to ensure that the backup block really goes with the WAL record, ie there was not a page tear right at the start of the backup block. Implement a simple form of compression of backup blocks: drop any run of zeroes starting at pd_lower, so as not to store the unused 'hole' that commonly exists in PG heap and index pages. Tweak PageRepairFragmentation and related routines to ensure they keep the unused space zeroed, so that the above compression method remains effective. All per recent discussions.
* Add test to WAL replay to verify that xl_prev points back to the previousTom Lane2005-05-31
| | | | | WAL record; this is necessary to be sure we recognize stale WAL records when a WAL page was only partially written during a system crash.
* Modify hash_search() API to prevent future occurrences of the errorTom Lane2005-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | spotted by Qingqing Zhou. The HASH_ENTER action now automatically fails with elog(ERROR) on out-of-memory --- which incidentally lets us eliminate duplicate error checks in quite a bunch of places. If you really need the old return-NULL-on-out-of-memory behavior, you can ask for HASH_ENTER_NULL. But there is now an Assert in that path checking that you aren't hoping to get that behavior in a palloc-based hash table. Along the way, remove the old HASH_FIND_SAVE/HASH_REMOVE_SAVED actions, which were not being used anywhere anymore, and were surely too ugly and unsafe to want to see revived again.
* Add support for wal_fsync_writethrough for Darwin, and restructure theBruce Momjian2005-05-20
| | | | | | code to better handle writethrough. Chris Campbell
* Make a comment pgindent-proof, per suggestion from Alvaro.Tom Lane2005-05-19
|
* Split the shared-memory array of PGPROC pointers out of the sinvalTom Lane2005-05-19
| | | | | | communication structure, and make it its own module with its own lock. This should reduce contention at least a little, and it definitely makes the code seem cleaner. Per my recent proposal.
* Cleanup GiST header files. Since GiST extensions are often written asNeil Conway2005-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions. Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(), and GISTNStrategies.
* Back out check for unreferenced files.Bruce Momjian2005-05-10
| | | | Heikki Linnakangas
* Fix case in which a debug printout would print already-pfreed data.Tom Lane2005-05-07
|
* Clean up MultiXactIdExpand's API by separating out the case where weTom Lane2005-05-03
| | | | | are creating a new MultiXactId from two regular XIDs. The original coding was unnecessarily complicated and didn't save any code anyway.
* Check the file system on postmaster startup and report any unreferencedBruce Momjian2005-05-02
| | | | | | files in the server log. Heikki Linnakangas
* Implement sharable row-level locks, and use them for foreign key referencesTom Lane2005-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple- transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before, while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock. Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
* Add comment about checkpoint panic behavior during shutdown, perTom Lane2005-04-23
| | | | suggestion from Qingqing Zhou.
* Fix comment typo.Bruce Momjian2005-04-17
|
* Reduce PANIC to ERROR in several xlog routines that are used in bothTom Lane2005-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | critical and noncritical contexts (an example of noncritical being post-checkpoint removal of dead xlog segments). In the critical cases the CRIT_SECTION mechanism will cause ERROR to be promoted to PANIC anyway, and in the noncritical cases we shouldn't let an error take down the entire database. Arguably there should be *no* explicit PANIC errors in this module, only more START/END_CRIT_SECTION calls, but I didn't go that far. (Yet.)
* Modify MoveOfflineLogs/InstallXLogFileSegment to avoid O(N^2) behaviorTom Lane2005-04-15
| | | | | | | when recycling a large number of xlog segments during checkpoint. The former behavior searched from the same start point each time, requiring O(checkpoint_segments^2) stat() calls to relocate all the segments. Instead keep track of where we stopped last time through.
* Simplify initdb-time assignment of OIDs as I proposed yesterday, andTom Lane2005-04-13
| | | | | | | | avoid encroaching on the 'user' range of OIDs by allowing automatic OID assignment to use values below 16k until we reach normal operation. initdb not forced since this doesn't make any incompatible change; however a lot of stuff will have different OIDs after your next initdb.
* Fix interaction between materializing holdable cursors and firingTom Lane2005-04-11
| | | | | | deferred triggers: either one can create more work for the other, so we have to loop till it's all gone. Per example from andrew@supernews. Add a regression test to help spot trouble in this area in future.
* Officially decouple FUNC_MAX_ARGS from INDEX_MAX_KEYS, and set theTom Lane2005-03-29
| | | | | | former to 100 by default. Clean up some of the less necessary dependencies on FUNC_MAX_ARGS; however, the biggie (FunctionCallInfoData) remains.
* Remove dead push/pop rollback code. Vadim once planned to implementTom Lane2005-03-28
| | | | | | transaction rollback via UNDO but I think that's highly unlikely to happen, so we may as well remove the stubs. (Someday we ought to rip out the stub xxx_undo routines, too.) Per Alvaro.
* Change Win32 O_SYNC method to O_DSYNC because that is what the methodBruce Momjian2005-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | currently does. This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because we perfer o_datasync to fsync. Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is what is used for fsync on Win32. Backpatch to 8.0.X.
* Remove some no-longer-needed kluges for bootstrapping, in particularTom Lane2005-02-20
| | | | | | | | the AMI_OVERRIDE flag. The fact that TransactionLogFetch treats BootstrapTransactionId as always committed is sufficient to make bootstrap work, and getting rid of extra tests in heavily used code paths seems like a win. The files produced by initdb are demonstrably the same after this change.
