| | | | | | | | assert.patch adds a switch to turn on/off the assert checking if enabled at compile time. You can now compile postgres with assert checking and disable it at runtime in a production environment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | patch is applied: Rewrite rules on relation level work fine now. 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
* o note that now pg_database has a new attribuite "encoding" evenBruce Momjian1998-08-24

So be sure to run initdb. o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared. regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute 'oid' not found this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without my patches. strange... o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer used, and shoud be removed. o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in #ifdef 0). seems nobody uses. t-ishii@sra.co.jp

| | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be much easier than I feared. So here are the diffs. Some notes: * I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend... Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked parameter list. * I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB. * I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2"). I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits; I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.
* Fix for hang after postmaster restart. Add new proc_exit andBruce Momjian1998-06-27

* Hi, here are the patches to enhance existing MB handling. This timeBruce Momjian1998-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting command: SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding'; Other features include: Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness See doc/README.mb for more details. Note that the pacthes are against May 30 snapshot. Tatsuo Ishii

* What I've done:Bruce Momjian1998-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Rewritten libpq to allow asynchronous clients. 2. Implemented client side of cancel protocol in library, and patched psql.c to send a cancel request upon SIGINT. The backend doesn't notice it yet :-( 3. Implemented 'Z' protocol message addition and renaming of copy in/out start messages. These are implemented conditionally, ie, the client protocol version is checked; so the code should still work with 1.0 clients. 4. Revised protocol and libpq sgml documents (don't have an SGML compiler, though, so there may be some markup glitches here). What remains to be done: 1. Implement addition of atttypmod field to RowDescriptor messages. The client-side code is there but ifdef'd out. I have no idea what to change on the backend side. The field should be sent only if protocol >= 2.0, of course. 2. Implement backend response to cancel requests received as OOB messages. (This prolly need not be conditional on protocol version; just do it if you get SIGURG.) 3. Update libpq.3. (I'm hoping this can be generated mechanically from libpq.sgml... if not, will do it by hand.) Is there any other doco to fix? 4. Update non-libpq interfaces as necessary. I patched libpgtcl so that it would compile, but haven't tested it. Dunno what needs to be done with the other interfaces. Have at it! Tom Lane

* Hi,Bruce Momjian1998-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate. It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh a little smarter. This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) ) This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to complete. Please review and apply, Cheers, Jeroen van Vianen

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've completed the patch to fix the protocol and authentication issues I was discussing a couple of weeks ago. The particular changes are: - the protocol has a version number - network byte order is used throughout - the pg_hba.conf file is used to specify what method is used to authenticate a frontend (either password, ident, trust, reject, krb4 or krb5) - support for multiplexed backends is removed - appropriate changes to man pages - the -a switch to many programs to specify an authentication service no longer has any effect - the libpq.so version number has changed to 1.1 The new backend still supports the old protocol so old interfaces won't break.

* Some *very* major changes by darrenk@insightdist.com (Darren King)Marc G. Fournier1998-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ========================================== What follows is a set of diffs that cleans up the usage of BLCKSZ. As a side effect, the person compiling the code can change the value of BLCKSZ _at_their_own_risk_. By that, I mean that I've tried it here at 4096 and 16384 with no ill-effects. A value of 4096 _shouldn't_ affect much as far as the kernel/file system goes, but making it bigger than 8192 can have severe consequences if you don't know what you're doing. 16394 worked for me, _BUT_ when I went to 32768 and did an initdb, the SCSI driver broke and the partition that I was running under went to hell in a hand basket. Had to reboot and do a good bit of fsck'ing to fix things up. The patch can be safely applied though. Just leave BLCKSZ = 8192 and everything is as before. It basically only cleans up all of the references to BLCKSZ in the code. If this patch is applied, a comment in the config.h file though above the BLCKSZ define with warning about monkeying around with it would be a good idea. Darren darrenk@insightdist.com (Also cleans up some of the #includes in files referencing BLCKSZ.) ==========================================
