* Here is a patch for Composite and Set returning function support. I madeBruce Momjian2002-06-20
| | | | | | | two small changes to the API since last patch, which hopefully completes the decoupling of composite function support from SRF specific support. Joe Conway

* This patch wraps all accesses to t_xmin, t_cmin, t_xmax, and t_cmax inBruce Momjian2002-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | HeapTupleHeaderData in setter and getter macros called HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin, HeapTupleHeaderSetXmin etc. It also introduces a "virtual" field xvac by defining HeapTupleHeaderGetXvac and HeapTupleHeaderSetXvac. Xvac is used by VACUUM, in fact it is stored in t_cmin. Manfred Koizar

* The attached patch fixes a problem with InstallXLogFileSegment()'s useBruce Momjian2002-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of link() under Cygwin: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-04/msg00072.php Note that it appears that BeOS and Netware also have the above or similar problem. I have only verified that PostgreSQL builds under Cygwin with this patch. Since I cannot reproduce the problem, I cannot verify that the proposed patch solves it. Nevertheless, both Barry Pederson and David P. Caldwell attest that this patch solves the problem. See the following for details: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-05/msg00043.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-05/msg00040.php Jason Tishler
* Repair error with not adjusting active scans properly after gistSplit.Tom Lane2002-05-28
| | | | Patch from Teodor Sigaev.
* Distinguish between MaxHeapAttributeNumber and MaxTupleAttributeNumber,Tom Lane2002-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | where the latter is made slightly larger to allow for in-memory tuples containing resjunk attributes. Responds to today's complaint that one cannot UPDATE a table containing the allegedly-legal maximum number of columns. Also, apply Manfred Koizar's recent patch to avoid extra alignment padding when there is a null bitmap. This saves bytes in some cases while not creating any backward-compatibility problem AFAICS.
* Remove AMI_OVERRIDE tests from tqual.c routines; they aren't necessaryTom Lane2002-05-25
| | | | | and just slow down normal operations (only fractionally, but a cycle saved is a cycle earned). Improve documentation of AMI_OVERRIDE behavior.
* Wups, managed to break ANALYZE with one aspect of that heap_fetch change.Tom Lane2002-05-24
|
* Mark index entries "killed" when they are no longer visible to anyTom Lane2002-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM. Saves repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows. Also detect queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match. Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning the index page). Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and index_insert to make this a little easier.
* Modify sequence state storage to eliminate dangling-pointer problemTom Lane2002-05-22
| | | | | | | | exemplified by bug #671. Moving the storage to relcache turned out to be a bad idea because relcache might decide to discard the info. Instead, open and close the relcache entry on each sequence operation, and use a record of the current XID to discover whether we already hold AccessShareLock on the sequence.
* Remove global variable scanCommandId in favor of storing a command IDTom Lane2002-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID. For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
* Restructure indexscan API (index_beginscan, index_getnext) perTom Lane2002-05-20
| | | | | | | yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
* Support temporary setting of search path during CREATE SCHEMA; thisTom Lane2002-05-17
| | | | | | | allows the example in the CREATE SCHEMA ref page to actually work now. Also, clean up when the transaction that initially creates a temp-table namespace is later aborted. Simplify internal representation of search path by folding special cases into the main list.
* Merge the last few variable.c configuration variables into the genericTom Lane2002-05-17
| | | | | | | | | GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction. All per previous discussions in pghackers.
* Make initdb print a message about which locale it is about to use.Peter Eisentraut2002-05-09
| | | | | Re-add warning if the locale prevents LIKE-optimization. Done within initdb now.
* Change heap_get_latest_tid() so that a transaction canHiroshi Inoue2002-05-01
| | | | see changes made by the transaction itself.
* xlog.c: If possible please add the following patch to better support NetWare.Bruce Momjian2002-04-24
| | | | Ulrich Neumann
* Add fields in the control file to check for whether the backend wasThomas G. Lockhart2002-04-21
| | | | | | | | compiled for integer date/time storage and to check the length of storage for the locale fields in the same data structure. Slightly reword some of the error messages to be more accurate on possible recovery options (e.g. recompile *or* re-initdb). Bump version number on this file.
* Opclasses live in namespaces. I also took the opportunity to createTom Lane2002-04-17
| | | | | | | an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
* Locale support is on by default. The choice of locale is done in initdbPeter Eisentraut2002-04-03
| | | | and/or with GUC variables.
* Create a new GUC variable search_path to control the namespace searchTom Lane2002-04-01
| | | | | | | path. The default behavior if no per-user schemas are created is that all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases. Probably the semantics and default setting will need to be fine-tuned, but this is a start.
* Reimplement temp tables using schemas. The temp table map is history;Tom Lane2002-03-31
| | | | temp table entries in pg_class have the names the user would expect.
* Mop-up some infelicities in new relation lookup handling.Tom Lane2002-03-29
|
* pg_type has a typnamespace column; system now supports creating typesTom Lane2002-03-29
| | | | | | in different namespaces. Also, cleanup work on relation namespace support: drop, alter, rename commands work for tables in non-default namespaces.
* pg_class has a relnamespace column. You can create and access tablesTom Lane2002-03-26
| | | | | | in schemas other than the system namespace; however, there's no search path yet, and not all operations work yet on tables outside the system namespace.
* Repair two problems with WAL logging of sequence nextvalI() ops, asTom Lane2002-03-15
| | | | | | per recent pghackers discussion: force a new WAL record at first nextval after a checkpoint, and ensure that xlog is flushed to disk if a nextval record is the only thing emitted by a transaction.
* Code review for improved-hashing patch. Fix some portability issuesTom Lane2002-03-09
| | | | | (char != unsigned char, Datum != uint32); make use of new hash code in dynahash hash tables and hash joins.
* I've attached a patch which implements Bob Jenkin's hash function forBruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL. This hash function replaces the one used by hash indexes and the catalog cache. Hash joins use a different, relatively poor-quality hash function, but I'll fix that later. As suggested by Tom Lane, this patch also changes the size of the fixed hash table used by the catalog cache to be a power-of-2 (instead of a prime: I chose 256 instead of 257). This allows the catcache to lookup hash buckets using a simple bitmask. This should improve the performance of the catalog cache slightly, since the previous method (modulo a prime) was slow. In my tests, this improves the performance of hash indexes by between 4% and 8%; the performance when using btree indexes or seqscans is basically unchanged. Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>
* Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
* I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVSBruce Momjian2002-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (current as of a few hours ago.) This patch: 1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines. 2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to assume chunks are returned in order). 3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the beginning of the string. 4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!). All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column. 4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this patch.(I plan to return to it separately). 5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE. John Gray
* I was digging through the GiST code, and figured I'd fix up some of theBruce Momjian2002-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | "bad smell" in that code. Stuff like function parameters that aren't used, typos in the comments, comparison between signed and unsigned ints, etc. Attached is a pretty trivial patch; it compiles, but beyond that completely untested. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3. Neil Conway
* Catcaches can now store negative entries as well as positive ones, toTom Lane2002-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | speed up repetitive failed searches; per pghackers discussion in late January. inval.c logic substantially simplified, since we can now treat inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned. Some repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has non-self-consistent catalog entries. With the new inval code, that resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.
* Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG isBruce Momjian2002-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.

* Clean up BeginCommand and related routines. BeginCommand and EndCommandTom Lane2002-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from pg_exec_query_string. BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple receiver setup routines in printtup.c. This makes for a clean distinction between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code was quite ad hoc. Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for ExecutorRun a little bit.
* I've attached a simple patch which should improve the performance ofBruce Momjian2002-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | hashname() and reduce the penalty incured when NAMEDATALEN is increased. I posted this to -hackers a couple days ago, and there haven't been any major complaints. It passes the regression tests. See -hackers for more discussion, as well as the suggestion from Tom Lane on which this patch is based. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3. Cheers, Neil Conway
* A bunch of changes aimed at reducing backend startup time...Tom Lane2002-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed. Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during relcache load. Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi, move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and does not need any expensive initialization. Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan (this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
* Add better error text:Bruce Momjian2002-02-18
| | | | | elog(LOG, "XLogWrite: new log file created - " "consider increasing 'wal_files' in postgresql.conf.");
* Tweak GiST code to work correctly on machines where 8-byte alignmentTom Lane2002-02-11
| | | | | | of pointers is required. Patch from Teodor Sigaev per pghackers discussion. It's an ugly kluge but avoids forcing initdb; we'll put a better fix into 7.3 or later.
* TOAST needs to do at least minimal time-qual checking in order not toTom Lane2002-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | mess up after an aborted VACUUM FULL, per today's pghackers discussion. Add a suitable HeapTupleSatisfiesToast routine. Remove useless special- case test in HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility macro for xmax = BootstrapTransactionId; perhaps that was needed at one time, but it's a waste of cycles now, not to mention actively wrong for SnapshotAny. Along the way, add some much-needed comments to tqual.c, and simplify toast_fetch_datum, which no longer needs to assume it may see chunks out-of-order.
* Add more sanity-checking to PageAddItem and PageIndexTupleDelete,Tom Lane2002-01-15
| | | | | | | to prevent spreading of corruption when page header pointers are bad. Merge PageZero into PageInit, since it was never used separately, and remove separate memset calls used at most other PageInit call points. Remove IndexPageCleanup, which wasn't used at all.
* Reduce severity of 'XLogFlush: request is not satisfied' error condition,Tom Lane2002-01-14
| | | | | | per my proposal of a couple days ago. This will eliminate the unable- to-restart-database class of problem that we have seen reported half a dozen times with 7.1.*.
* Add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() in various strategic spots, per commentsTom Lane2002-01-06
| | | | from Hiroshi.
* Fix race condition that could allow two concurrent transactionsTom Lane2002-01-01
| | | | | | to insert the same key into a supposedly unique index. The bug is of low probability, and may not explain any of the recent reports of duplicated rows; but a bug is a bug.
* Ensure that all direct uses of spinlock-protected data structures useTom Lane2001-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | 'volatile' pointers to access those structures, so that optimizing compilers will not decide to move the structure accesses outside of the spinlock-acquire-to-spinlock-release sequence. There are no known bugs in these uses at present, but based on bad experience with lwlock.c, it seems prudent to ensure that we protect these other uses too. Per pghackers discussion around 12-Dec. (Note: it should not be necessary to worry about structures protected by LWLocks, since the LWLock acquire and release operations are not inline macros.)
* Fix mispeling ...Tom Lane2001-12-23
|
* Temporarily dike out GetUndoRecPtr() in checkpoint generation, since weTom Lane2001-12-19
| | | | | | do not use the undo pointer anyway. This is a quick-hack solution for the three-way deadlock condition discussed in pghackers 17-Dec-01. Need to find a better way of doing it.
* Fix boundary condition in btbulkdelete: don't examine high key in caseTom Lane2001-11-23
| | | | | | | where rightmost index page splits while we are waiting to obtain exclusive lock on it. Not clear this would actually hurt (probably the callback would always fail), but better safe than sorry. Also, improve comments describing concurrency considerations in this code.
* Clean up usage-statistics display code (ShowUsage and friends). StatFpTom Lane2001-11-10
| | | | is gone, usage messages now go through elog(DEBUG).
