* Clean up some confusion about where and how to set whereToSendOutput.Tom Lane2001-09-08
| | | | | | | | We will no longer try to send elog messages to the client before we have initialized backend libpq (oops); however, reporting bogus commandline switches via elog does work now (not irrelevant, because of PGOPTIONS). Fix problem with inappropriate sending of checkpoint-process messages to stderr.
* Enable SIGTERM and SIGQUIT during client authentication soJan Wieck2001-09-07
| | | | | | | the postmaster can kill the forked off processes when shutdown is requested. Jan
* Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions inTom Lane2001-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent. pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands. Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass. Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's IndexScanOK. Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane. initdb forced.
* Fix handling of SIGCHLD, per recent pghackers discussion: on someTom Lane2001-08-04
| | | | | | | platforms system(2) gets confused unless the signal handler is set to SIG_DFL, not SIG_IGN. pgstats.c now uses pqsignal() as it should, not signal(). Also, arrange for the stats collector process to show a reasonable ID in 'ps', rather than looking like a postmaster.
* Cleanup code for preparsing pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf. Store lineTom Lane2001-07-31
| | | | | | | | | number in the data structure so that we can give at least a minimally useful idea of where the mistake is when we issue syntax error messages. Move the ClientAuthentication() call to where it should have been in the first place, so that postmaster memory releasing can happen in a reasonable place also. Update obsolete comments, correct one real bug (auth_argument was not picked up correctly).
* Load pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf on startup and SIGHUP into List ofBruce Momjian2001-07-30
| | | | | | Lists, and use that for user validation. Bruce Momjian
* Partial indexes work again, courtesy of Martijn van Oosterhout.Tom Lane2001-07-16
| | | | | | Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough. However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.

* Fix a couple remaining places where GUC variables were assigned toTom Lane2001-06-25

* Statistical system views (yet without the config stuff, butJan Wieck2001-06-22
| | | | | | | it's hard to keep such massive changes in sync with the tree so I need to get it in and work from there now). Jan
* Handle reading of startup packet and authentication exchange after forkingPeter Eisentraut2001-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | a new postmaster child process. This should eliminate problems with authentication blocking (e.g., ident, SSL init) and also reduce problems with the accept queue filling up under heavy load. The option to send elog output to a different file per backend (postgres -o) has been disabled for now because the initialization would have to happen in a different order and it's not clear we want to keep this anyway.
* Back out SET ALL patch because it is breaking things.Bruce Momjian2001-06-19

* RESET ALL secondary patch:Bruce Momjian2001-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | Here is Tomified version of my 2 pending patches. Dropped the set_.._real change as it is not needed. Desc would be: * use GUC for settings from cmdline Marko Kreen
* Allow removal of system-named pg_* temp tables. Rename temp file/dir asBruce Momjian2001-06-18
| | | | pgsql_tmp.
* Extend GUC concepts of parse_hook and assign_hook to all four supportedTom Lane2001-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | datatypes, not only strings. parse_hook is useless for bool, I suppose, but it seems possibly useful for int and double to apply variable-specific constraints that are more complex than simple range limits. assign_hook is definitely useful for all datatypes --- we need it right now for bool to support date cache reset when changing Australian timezone rule setting. Also, clean up some residual problems with the reset all/show all patch, including memory leaks and mistaken reset of PostPortNumber. It seems best that RESET ALL not touch variables that don't have SUSET or USERSET context.
* Allow GRANT/REVOKE to/from more than one user per invocation. Command tagPeter Eisentraut2001-06-09
| | | | | | | | for GRANT/REVOKE is now just that, not "CHANGE". On the way, migrate some of the aclitem internal representation away from the parser and build a real parse tree instead. Also add some 'const' qualifiers.
* reset all: command line and .conf options change defaultsBruce Momjian2001-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | on RESET ALL those are restored. show all: GUC + non-GUC. SHOW ALL, RESET ALL Marko Kreen
* Remove fastpath.c's lame attempt at caching function lookup info acrossTom Lane2001-06-01
| | | | | | | | | calls. This has never actually cached anything, because postgres.c does each fastpath call as a separate transaction command, and so fastpath.c would always decide that its cache was outdated. If it had worked, it would now be failing for calls of oldstyle functions due to dangling pointers in the FmgrInfo struct. Rip it out for simplicity and bug- proofing.
* Remove OLD_FILE_NAMING code. No longer used.Bruce Momjian2001-05-30
|
* Make UPDATE and DELETE privileges distinct. Add REFERENCES and TRIGGERPeter Eisentraut2001-05-27
| | | | | privileges. INSERT and COPY FROM now require INSERT (only). Add privileges regression test.
* Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available asTom Lane2001-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too). pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values, not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command. There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before. A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

* Add period to message.Bruce Momjian2001-03-26

* Change message to _the_ administrator. There is only one administrativeBruce Momjian2001-03-26
| | | | | | account. This connection has been terminated by the administrator.
* Mark exception and assert global variables as DLLIMPORT, so that plpgsqlTom Lane2001-03-23
| | | | can be compiled with asserts enabled on Windoze.
* Remove dashes in comments that don't need them, rewrap with pgindent.Bruce Momjian2001-03-22

* pgindent run. Make it all clean.Bruce Momjian2001-03-22

| | | | This connection has been terminated by the administrator
* XLOG (and related) changes:Tom Lane2001-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control. On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one is unreadable. Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie, complete loss of pg_xlog). Also add a version number for pg_control itself. Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway). * Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered in the WAL log since the last one. This is not so much to avoid I/O as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two checkpoints. If the things are right next to each other then there's not a lot of redundancy gained... * Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs on alternate bytes. Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard. * Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k. * Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation. (This is of dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.) * Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file wraparound at the 4 gig mark. * Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file format declarations out to include files where planned contrib utilities can get at them. * Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first. It is also possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster (undocumented feature...) * Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists). * Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities. Clean up signal handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster will react to signals better. * Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.
* hold interupts during LockWaitCancel().Hiroshi Inoue2001-03-09

* Tweak portal (cursor) code so that it will not call the executor againTom Lane2001-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | when user does another FETCH after reaching end of data, or another FETCH backwards after reaching start. This is needed because some plan nodes are not very robust about being called again after they've already returned NULL; for example, MergeJoin will crash in some states but not others. While the ideal approach would be for them all to handle this correctly, it seems foolish to assume that no such bugs would creep in again once cleaned up. Therefore, the most robust answer is to prevent the situation from arising at all.
* When under postmaster, bogus arguments should cause proc_exit(0) notTom Lane2001-02-24
| | | | | proc_exit(1). Unless you think a system-wide restart is an appropriate response to bogus PGOPTIONS, that is.
* Remove bogus set_ps_display call --- changing displayed status here isTom Lane2001-02-18
| | | | | | either wrong or unnecessary in most cases, and on systems where setting status takes a kernel call, the overhead of setting status three times per command rather than two is annoying.

* Oops, I had managed to break query-cancel-while-waiting-for-lock.Tom Lane2001-01-16
|
* Restructure backend SIGINT/SIGTERM handling so that 'die' interruptsTom Lane2001-01-14
| | | | | | | are treated more like 'cancel' interrupts: the signal handler sets a flag that is examined at well-defined spots, rather than trying to cope with an interrupt that might happen anywhere. See pghackers discussion of 1/12/01.
* Add more critical-section calls: all code sections that hold spinlocksTom Lane2001-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | are now critical sections, so as to ensure die() won't interrupt us while we are munging shared-memory data structures. Avoid insecure intermediate states in some code that proc_exit will call, like palloc/pfree. Rename START/END_CRIT_CODE to START/END_CRIT_SECTION, since that seems to be what people tend to call them anyway, and make them be called with () like a function call, in hopes of not confusing pg_indent. I doubt that this is sufficient to make SIGTERM safe anywhere; there's just too much code that could get invoked during proc_exit().
* Fix recent breakage of query-cancel logic, see my pghackers messageTom Lane2001-01-07
| | | | of 6 Jan 2001 21:55.
* Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,Tom Lane2001-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause instead, per recent discussion in pghackers. Also fix implementation of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze(). See recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just after a SET TIMEZONE command. gram.y really has to be an invariant transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
* Prevent freshly-started backend from ignoring SIGUSR1, per race conditionTom Lane2000-12-20
| | | | | | | observed by Inoue. Also, don't call ProcRemove() from postmaster if we have detected a backend crash --- too risky if shared memory is corrupted. It's not needed anyway, considering we are going to reinitialize shared memory and semaphores as soon as the last child is dead.

* Ensure that 'errno' is saved and restored by all signal handlers thatTom Lane2000-12-18
| | | | | | might change it. Experimentation shows that the signal handler call mechanism does not save/restore errno for you, at least not on Linux or HPUX, so this is definitely a real risk.
* Clean up backend-exit-time cleanup behavior. Use on_shmem_exit callbacksTom Lane2000-12-18
| | | | | | to ensure that we have released buffer refcounts and so forth, rather than putting ad-hoc operations before (some of the calls to) proc_exit. Add commentary to discourage future hackers from repeating that mistake.
