* Restructure system-catalog index updating logic. Instead of havingTom Lane2002-08-05
| | | | | | | | | hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.
* Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.Tom Lane2002-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP; however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies. (Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

* Rule names are now unique per-relation, rather than unique globally.Tom Lane2002-04-18
| | | | | | | | DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause, similar to TRIGGER syntaxes. To allow loading of existing pg_dump files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across the whole database.

* Fix all the places that called heap_update() and heap_delete() withoutTom Lane2001-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find out about it, except by observing later that the transaction produced the wrong outcome. There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates. In practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor, because *noplace* else was checking.
* Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count isTom Lane2000-11-16

* Subselects in FROM clause, per ISO syntax: FROM (SELECT ...) [AS] alias.Tom Lane2000-09-29
| | | | | | | | | (Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking moved out of rewriter and into executor. INITDB REQUIRED!
* Use a private memory context to store rule information in each relcacheTom Lane2000-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | entry that has rules. This allows us to release the rule parsetrees on relcache flush without needing a working freeObject() routine. Formerly, the rule trees were leaked permanently at relcache flush. Also, clean up handling of rule creation and deletion --- there was not sufficient locking of the relation being modified, and there was no reliable notification of other backends that a relcache reload was needed. Also, clean up relcache.c code so that scans of system tables needed to load a relcache entry are done in the caller's memory context, not in CacheMemoryContext. This prevents any un-pfreed memory from those scans from becoming a permanent memory leak.
* First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/READMETom Lane2000-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long- standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single query string crashing. Also, out-of-memory is now considered a recoverable ERROR, not FATAL. Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around memory management. Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and backend startup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or 'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi. Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the Relation struct layout slightly. Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.

Event qualifications on insert/update/delete rules work fine now. I added the new keyword OLD to reference the CURRENT tuple. CURRENT will be removed in 6.5. Update rules can reference NEW and OLD in the rule qualification and the actions. Insert/update/delete rules on views can be established to let them behave like real tables. For insert/update/delete rules multiple actions are supported now. The actions can also be surrounded by parantheses to make psql happy. Multiple actions are required if update to a view requires updates to multiple tables. Regular users are permitted to create/drop rules on tables they have RULE permissions for (DefineQueryRewrite() is now able to get around the access restrictions on pg_rewrite). This enables view creation for regular users too. This required an extra boolean parameter to pg_parse_and_plan() that tells to set skipAcl on all rangetable entries of the resulting queries. There is a new function pg_exec_query_acl_override() that could be used by backend utilities to use this facility. All rule actions (not only views) inherit the permissions of the event relations owner. Sample: User A creates tables T1 and T2, creates rules that log INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on T1 in T2 (like in the regression tests for rules I created) and grants ALL but RULE on T1 to user B. User B can now fully access T1 and the logging happens in T2. But user B cannot access T2 at all, only the rule actions can. And due to missing RULE permissions on T1, user B cannot disable logging. Rules on the attribute level are disabled (they don't work properly and since regular users are now permitted to create rules I decided to disable them). Rules on select must have exactly one action that is a select (so select rules must be a view definition). UPDATE NEW/OLD rules are disabled (still broken, but triggers can do it). There are two new system views (pg_rule and pg_view) that show the definition of the rules or views so the db admin can see what the users do. They use two new functions pg_get_ruledef() and pg_get_viewdef() that are builtins. The functions pg_get_ruledef() and pg_get_viewdef() could be used to implement rule and view support in pg_dump. PostgreSQL is now the only database system I know, that has rewrite rules on the query level. All others (where I found a rule statement at all) use stored database procedures or the like (triggers as we call them) for active rules (as some call them). Future of the rule system: The now disabled parts of the rule system (attribute level, multiple actions on select and update new stuff) require a complete new rewrite handler from scratch. The old one is too badly wired up. After 6.4 I'll start to work on a new rewrite handler, that fully supports the attribute level rules, multiple actions on select and update new. This will be available for 6.5 so we get full rewrite rule capabilities. Jan

| | | | | | | | | As Bruce mentioned, this is due to the conflict among changes we made. Included patches should fix the problem(I changed all MB to MULTIBYTE). Please let me know if you have further problem. P.S. I did not include pathces to configure and gram.c to save the file size(configure.in and gram.y modified).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support. (patches are against 7/18 snapshot) * determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See README.mb for more details. For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database. Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the modification to pg_database. Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks ugly. No way. * support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command commands/copy.c modified. * support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES" See gram.y. * support for LATIN2-5 * add UNICODE regression test case * new test suite for MB New directory test/mb added. * clean up source files Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance. These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.

* This patch...Bruce Momjian1998-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from pg_proc.h. 2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in fmgr.h. 3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having it made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile *hack*hack*hack* 4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement, also changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header. 5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for the #defines removed in item #1. 6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake. Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first include. "access/genam.h" ->"access/relscan.h" ->"utils/rel.h" ->"access/strat.h" ->"access/skey.h" ->"fmgr.h" So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully just made it clearer to the programmer.
