* Have CLUSTER advance the table's relfrozenxid. The new frozen point is theAlvaro Herrera2007-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FreezeXid introduced in a recent commit, so there isn't any data loss in this approach. Doing it causes ALTER TABLE (or rather, the forms of it that cause a full table rewrite) to be affected as well. In this case, the frozen point is RecentXmin, because after the rewrite all the tuples are relabeled with the rewriting transaction's Xid. TOAST tables are fixed automatically as well, as fallout of the way they were already being handled in the respective code paths. With this patch, there is no longer need to VACUUM tables for Xid wraparound purposes that have been cleaned up via TRUNCATE or CLUSTER.
* Move the tuple freezing point in CLUSTER to a point further back in the past,Alvaro Herrera2007-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | to avoid losing useful Xid information in not-so-old tuples. This makes CLUSTER behave the same as VACUUM as far a tuple-freezing behavior goes (though CLUSTER does not yet advance the table's relfrozenxid). While at it, move the actual freezing operation in rewriteheap.c to a more appropriate place, and document it thoroughly. This part of the patch from Tom Lane.

* First phase of plan-invalidation project: create a plan cache managementTom Lane2007-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | module and teach PREPARE and protocol-level prepared statements to use it. In service of this, rearrange utility-statement processing so that parse analysis does not assume table schemas can't change before execution for utility statements (necessary because we don't attempt to re-acquire locks for utility statements when reusing a stored plan). This requires some refactoring of the ProcessUtility API, but it ends up cleaner anyway, for instance we can get rid of the QueryContext global. Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to try to make SQL functions use it too. Also, there are at least some aspects of system state that we want to ensure remain the same during a replan as in the original processing; search_path certainly ought to behave that way for instance, and perhaps there are others.
* Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.Bruce Momjian2007-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways: may - permission, "You may borrow my rake." can - ability, "I can lift that log." might - possibility, "It might rain today." Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

* Change the relation_open protocol so that we obtain lock on a relationTom Lane2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | (table or index) before trying to open its relcache entry. This fixes race conditions in which someone else commits a change to the relation's catalog entries while we are in process of doing relcache load. Problems of that ilk have been reported sporadically for years, but it was not really practical to fix until recently --- for instance, the recent addition of WAL-log support for in-place updates helped. Along the way, remove pg_am.amconcurrent: all AMs are now expected to support concurrent update.
* Change the bootstrap sequence so that toast tables for system catalogs areTom Lane2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | created in the bootstrap phase proper, rather than added after-the-fact by initdb. This is cleaner than before because it allows us to retire the undocumented ALTER TABLE ... CREATE TOAST TABLE command, but the real reason I'm doing it is so that toast tables of shared catalogs will now have predetermined OIDs. This will allow a reasonably clean solution to the problem of locking tables before we load their relcache entries, to appear in a forthcoming patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c). Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last. Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync with code. Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

* Clean up API for ambulkdelete/amvacuumcleanup as per today's discussion.Tom Lane2006-05-02

* First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane2005-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes; but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a good place to commit. Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be 'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.
* Convert oidvector and int2vector into variable-length arrays. ThisTom Lane2005-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index, and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet. There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct, and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.
* Remove unnecessary calls of FlushRelationBuffers: there is no needTom Lane2005-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | to write out data that we are about to tell the filesystem to drop. smgr_internal_unlink already had a DropRelFileNodeBuffers call to get rid of dead buffers without a write after it's no longer possible to roll back the deleting transaction. Adding a similar call in smgrtruncate simplifies callers and makes the overall division of labor clearer. This patch removes the former behavior that VACUUM would write all dirty buffers of a relation unconditionally.
* Repair CLUSTER failure after ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS. Turns outTom Lane2005-02-06
| | | | | | | there are corner cases involving dropping toasted columns in which the previous coding would fail, too: the new version of the table might not have any TOAST table, but we'd still propagate possibly-wide values of dropped columns forward.

* Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTEDTom Lane2004-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.) As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.

* Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.Tom Lane2004-06-18
| | | | | | | | | There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is dead, it just doesn't know it yet. Gavin Sherry and Tom Lane.
* Minor code rationalization: FlushRelationBuffers just returns void,Tom Lane2004-05-31
| | | | | | | | rather than an error code, and does elog(ERROR) not elog(WARNING) when it detects a problem. All callers were simply elog(ERROR)'ing on failure return anyway, and I find it hard to envision a caller that would not, so we may as well simplify the callers and produce the more useful error message directly.
* Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway2004-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
* Get rid of cluster.c's apparatus for rebuilding a relation's indexesTom Lane2004-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | in favor of using the REINDEX TABLE apparatus, which does the same thing simpler and faster. Also, make TRUNCATE not use cluster.c at all, but just assign a new relfilenode and REINDEX. This partially addresses Hartmut Raschick's complaint from last December that 7.4's TRUNCATE is an order of magnitude slower than prior releases. By getting rid of a lot of unnecessary catalog updates, these changes buy back about a factor of two (on my system). The remaining overhead seems associated with creating and deleting storage files, which we may not be able to do much about without abandoning transaction safety for TRUNCATE.
* Make ALTER COLUMN TYPE preserve clustered status for indexes it doesn'tTom Lane2004-05-06
| | | | | | | modify. Also fix a passel of problems with ALTER TABLE CLUSTER ON: failure to check that the index is safe to cluster on (or even belongs to the indicated rel, or even exists), and failure to broadcast a relcache flush event when changing an index's state.
* ALTER TABLE rewrite. New cool stuff:Tom Lane2004-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * ALTER ... ADD COLUMN with defaults and NOT NULL constraints works per SQL spec. A default is implemented by rewriting the table with the new value stored in each row. * ALTER COLUMN TYPE. You can change a column's datatype to anything you want, so long as you can specify how to convert the old value. Rewrites the table. (Possible future improvement: optimize no-op conversions such as varchar(N) to varchar(N+1).) * Multiple ALTER actions in a single ALTER TABLE command. You can perform any number of column additions, type changes, and constraint additions with only one pass over the table contents. Basic documentation provided in ALTER TABLE ref page, but some more docs work is needed. Original patch from Rod Taylor, additional work from Tom Lane.
* Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, andTom Lane2004-03-23
| | | | | | | | | remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor of doing a regular DROP. Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column. This fixes problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an OID column that was inherited from a parent.

* Cross-data-type comparisons are now indexable by btrees, pursuant to myTom Lane2003-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support. The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event; it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
* Add operator strategy and comparison-value datatype fields to ScanKey.Tom Lane2003-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the first place is simpler and faster. This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize() API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those changes before the tree drifts under me.
