* Fix bad interaction between NOTIFY processing and V3 extended queryTom Lane2003-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | protocol, per report from Igor Shevchenko. NOTIFY thought it could do its thing if transaction blockState is TBLOCK_DEFAULT, but in reality it had better check the low-level transaction state is TRANS_DEFAULT as well. Formerly it was not possible to wait for the client in a state where the first is true and the second is not ... but now we can have such a state. Minor cleanup in StartTransaction() as well.
* Repair RI trigger visibility problems (this time for sure ;-)) per recentTom Lane2003-10-01
| | | | | | | discussion on pgsql-hackers: in READ COMMITTED mode we just have to force a QuerySnapshot update in the trigger, but in SERIALIZABLE mode we have to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.
* Adjust btree index build procedure so that the btree metapage looksTom Lane2003-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | invalid (has the wrong magic number) until the build is entirely complete. This turns out to cost no additional writes in the normal case, since we were rewriting the metapage at the end of the process anyway. In normal scenarios there's no real gain in security, because a failed index build would roll back the transaction leaving an unused index file, but for rebuilding shared system indexes this seems to add some useful protection.
* Add a mechanism to let dynamically loaded modules register post-commit/Tom Lane2003-09-28
| | | | | | post-abort cleanup hooks. I'm surprised that we have not needed this already, but I need it now to fix a plpgsql problem, and the usefulness for other dynamically loaded modules seems obvious.

* Various message fixes, among those fixes for the previous round of fixesPeter Eisentraut2003-09-26

* Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut2003-09-25
| | | | | terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.
* Repair some REINDEX problems per recent discussions. The relcache isTom Lane2003-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared- index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes) now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates. It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except shared catalogs.
* Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Gavin Sherry. While aTom Lane2003-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | really general fix might be difficult, I believe the only case where AtCommit_Notify could see an uncommitted tuple is where the other guy has just unlistened and not yet committed. The best solution seems to be to just skip updating that tuple, on the assumption that the other guy does not want to hear about the notification anyway. This is not perfect --- if the other guy rolls back his unlisten instead of committing, then he really should have gotten this notify. But to do that, we'd have to wait to see if he commits or not, or make UNLISTEN hold exclusive lock on pg_listener until commit. Either of these answers is deadlock-prone, not to mention horrible for interactive performance. Do it this way for now. (What happened to that project to do LISTEN/NOTIFY in memory with no table, anyway?)
* Reimplement hash index locking algorithms, per my recent proposal toTom Lane2003-09-04
| | | | | | | | pghackers. This fixes the problem recently reported by Markus KrÌutner (hash bucket split corrupts the state of scans being done concurrently), and I believe it also fixes all the known problems with deadlocks in hash index operations. Hash indexes are still not really ready for prime time (since they aren't WAL-logged), but this is a step forward.
* In _bt_check_unique() loop, don't bother applying _bt_isequal() toTom Lane2003-09-02
| | | | | | | | killed items; just skip to the next item immediately. Only check for key equality when we reach a non-killed item or the end of the index page. This saves key comparisons when there are lots of killed items, as for example in a heavily-updated table that's not been vacuumed lately. Seems to be a win for pgbench anyway.
* Several fixes for hash indexes that involve changing the on-disk indexTom Lane2003-09-02
| | | | | | | | | layout; therefore, this change forces REINDEX of hash indexes (though not a full initdb). Widen hashm_ntuples to double so that hash space management doesn't get confused by more than 4G entries; enlarge the allowed number of free-space-bitmap pages; replace the useless bshift field with a useful bmshift field; eliminate 4 bytes of wasted space in the per-page special area.
* Fix a couple typos, add some more comments.Tom Lane2003-09-02
|
* Rewrite hashbulkdelete() to make it amenable to new bucket lockingTom Lane2003-09-02
| | | | | | | scheme. A pleasant side effect is that it is *much* faster when deleting a large fraction of the indexed tuples, because of elimination of redundant hash_step activity induced by hash_adjscans. Various other continuing code cleanup.
* Preliminary cleanup for hash index code (doesn't attack the locking problemTom Lane2003-09-01
| | | | | | | | | yet). Fix a couple of bugs that would only appear if multiple bitmap pages are used, including a buffer reference leak and incorrect computation of bit indexes. Get rid of 'overflow address' concept, which accomplished nothing except obfuscating the code and creating a risk of failure due to limited range of offset field. Rename some misleadingly-named fields and routines, and improve documentation.
* Add some internals documentation for hash indexes, including anTom Lane2003-09-01
| | | | | | explanation of the remarkably confusing page addressing scheme. The file also includes my planned-but-not-yet-implemented revision of the hash index locking scheme.
* Rewriter and planner should use only resno, not resname, to identifyTom Lane2003-08-11
| | | | | | | target columns in INSERT and UPDATE targetlists. Don't rely on resname to be accurate in ruleutils, either. This fixes bug reported by Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not work very well.
* Repair potential deadlock created by recent changes to recycle btreeTom Lane2003-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | index pages: when _bt_getbuf asks the FSM for a free index page, it is possible (and, in some cases, even moderately likely) that the answer will be the same page that _bt_split is trying to split. _bt_getbuf already knew that the returned page might not be free, but it wasn't prepared for the possibility that even trying to lock the page could be problematic. Fix by doing a conditional rather than unconditional grab of the page lock.

* Fix longstanding error in _bt_search(): should moveright at top of loop notTom Lane2003-07-29
| | | | | | | | | bottom. Otherwise we fail to moveright when the root page was split while we were "in flight" to it. This is not a significant problem when the root is above the leaf level, but if the root was also a leaf (ie, a single-page index just got split) we may return the wrong leaf page to the caller, resulting in failure to find a key that is in fact present. Bug has existed at least since 7.1, probably forever.

* Repair boundary-case bug introduced by patch of two months ago thatTom Lane2003-07-17
| | | | | | | | fixed incorrect initial setting of StartUpID. The logic in XLogWrite() expects that Write->curridx is advanced to the next page as soon as LogwrtResult points to the end of the current page, but StartupXLOG() failed to make that happen when the old WAL ended exactly on a page boundary. Per trouble report from Hannu Krosing.
* Add comment pointing out that XLByteToPrevSeg macro is not broken.Tom Lane2003-06-26

* Revise hash join and hash aggregation code to use the same datatype-Tom Lane2003-06-22
| | | | | | | | specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing. The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.
* Replace cryptic 'Unknown kind of return type' messages with somethingTom Lane2003-06-15
| | | | hopefully a little more useful.
* This patch extracts page buffer pooling and the simpleBruce Momjian2003-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | least-recently-used strategy from clog.c into slru.c. It doesn't change any visible behaviour and passes all regression tests plus a TruncateCLOG test done manually. Apart from refactoring I made a little change to SlruRecentlyUsed, formerly ClogRecentlyUsed: It now skips incrementing lru_counts, if slotno is already the LRU slot, thus saving a few CPU cycles. To make this work, lru_counts are initialised to 1 in SimpleLruInit. SimpleLru will be used by pg_subtrans (part of the nested transactions project), so the main purpose of this patch is to avoid future code duplication. Manfred Koizar
* Make debug_ GUC varables output DEBUG1 rather than LOG, and mention inBruce Momjian2003-05-27
| | | | | docs that CLIENT/LOG_MIN_MESSAGES now controls debug_* output location. Doc changes included.
* Make sure printtup() always sends the number of columns previouslyTom Lane2003-05-26
| | | | | | | | advertised in RowDescription message. Depending on the physical tuple's column count is not really correct, since according to heap_getattr() conventions the tuple may be short some columns, which will automatically get read as nulls. Problem has been latent since forever, but was only exposed by recent change to skip a projection step in SELECT * FROM...
* Repair sometimes-incorrect computation of StartUpID after a crash, perTom Lane2003-05-22
| | | | | | | example from Rao Kumar. This is a very corner corner-case, requiring a minimum of three closely-spaced database crashes and an unlucky positioning of the second recovery's checkpoint record before you'd notice any problem. But the consequences are dire enough that it's a must-fix.
* Indexing support for pattern matching operations via separate operatorPeter Eisentraut2003-05-15

* Backend support for autocommit removed, per recent discussions. TheTom Lane2003-05-14
| | | | | | only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit logic in libpq.
* In RowDescription messages, report columns of domain datatypes as havingTom Lane2003-05-13
| | | | | | the type OID and typmod of the underlying base type. Per discussions a few weeks ago with Andreas Pflug and others. Note that this behavioral change affects both old- and new-protocol clients.
* Add binary I/O routines for a bunch more datatypes. Still a few to go,Tom Lane2003-05-12
| | | | | but that was enough tedium for one day. Along the way, move the few support routines for types xid and cid into a more logical place.
* Adjust CreateCheckpoint so that buffer dumping activities and cleanup ofTom Lane2003-05-10
| | | | | | dead xlog segments are not considered part of a critical section. It is not necessary to force a database-wide panic if we get a failure in these operations. Per recent trouble reports.
* Implement new-protocol binary I/O support in DataRow, Bind, and FunctionCallTom Lane2003-05-09
| | | | | messages. Binary I/O is now up and working, but only for a small set of datatypes (integers, text, bytea).
* Update 3.0 protocol support to match recent agreements about how toTom Lane2003-05-08
| | | | | | | handle multiple 'formats' for data I/O. Restructure CommandDest and DestReceiver stuff one more time (it's finally starting to look a bit clean though). Code now matches latest 3.0 protocol document as far as message formats go --- but there is no support for binary I/O yet.
* Restructure command destination handling so that we pass aroundTom Lane2003-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | DestReceiver pointers instead of just CommandDest values. The DestReceiver is made at the point where the destination is selected, rather than deep inside the executor. This cleans up the original kluge implementation of tstoreReceiver.c, and makes it easy to support retrieving results from utility statements inside portals. Thus, you can now do fun things like Bind and Execute a FETCH or EXPLAIN command, and it'll all work as expected (e.g., you can Describe the portal, or use Execute's count parameter to suspend the output partway through). Implementation involves stuffing the utility command's output into a Tuplestore, which would be kind of annoying for huge output sets, but should be quite acceptable for typical uses of utility commands.
* Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane2003-05-06
| | | | | | | | | the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
* Extended query protocol: parse, bind, execute, describe FE/BE messages.Tom Lane2003-05-05
| | | | Only lightly tested as yet, since libpq doesn't know anything about 'em.

|
* Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane2003-05-02
| | | | | | | | | Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
