* Fix memory leak created by deferrable-index-constraints patches.Tom Lane2010-01-31
| | | | | | | | | We need to free the OID list returned by ExecInsertIndexTuples to avoid a query-lifespan memory leak. When many rows require rechecking, this can be a significant leak --- it's even more than the space used for the queued trigger events. Dean Rasheed
* Make checks for invalid pgStatSock use PGINVALID_SOCKETMagnus Hagander2010-01-31

* Get rid of unportable use of socklen_t --- we have a configure testTom Lane2010-01-31
| | | | for that, so use it.
* Fix race condition in win32 signal handling.Magnus Hagander2010-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | There was a race condition where the receiving pipe could be closed by the child thread if the main thread was pre-empted before it got a chance to create a new one, and the dispatch thread ran to completion during that time. One symptom of this is that rows in pg_listener could be dropped under heavy load. Analysis and original patch by Radu Ilie, with some small modifications by Magnus Hagander.
* Avoid performing encoding conversion on command tag strings during EndCommand.Tom Lane2010-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since all current and foreseeable future command tags will be pure ASCII, there is no need to do conversion on them. This saves a few cycles and also avoids polluting otherwise-pristine subtransaction memory contexts, which is the cause of the backend memory leak exhibited in bug #5302. (Someday we'll probably want to have a better method of determining whether subtransaction contexts need to be kept around, but today is not that day.) Backpatch to 8.0. The cycle-shaving aspect of this would work in 7.4 too, but without subtransactions the memory-leak aspect doesn't apply, so it doesn't seem worth touching 7.4.

* Adjust GetLockConflicts() so that it uses TopMemoryContext whenSimon Riggs2010-01-29
| | | | | executed InHotStandby. Cleaner solution than using malloc or palloc depending upon situation, as proposed by Tom.
* Augment WAL records for btree delete with GetOldestXmin() to reduceSimon Riggs2010-01-29
| | | | | | | | false positives during Hot Standby conflict processing. Simple patch to enhance conflict processing, following previous discussions. Controlled by parameter minimize_standby_conflicts = on | off, with default off allows measurement of performance impact to see whether it should be set on all the time.
* Filter recovery conflicts based upon dboid from relfilenode of WALSimon Riggs2010-01-29
| | | | | | | | records for heap and btree. Minor change, mostly API changes to pass through the required values. This is a simple change though also provides the refactoring required for further enhancements to conflict processing using the relOid. Changes only have effect during Hot Standby.

* Type table featurePeter Eisentraut2010-01-28
| | | | This adds the CREATE TABLE name OF type command, per SQL standard.
* Fix crashing bug at the end of recovery in Streaming Replication, whenHeikki Linnakangas2010-01-28

* Add functions to reset the statistics counter for a single table/index orMagnus Hagander2010-01-28
| | | | a single function.
* Use malloc() in GetLockConflicts() when called InHotStandby to avoid repeatedSimon Riggs2010-01-28
| | | | palloc calls. Current code assumed this was already true, so this is a bug fix.
* Change a few remaining calls of XLogArchivingActive() to useHeikki Linnakangas2010-01-28
| | | | | | | XLogIsNeeded() instead, to determine if an otherwise non-logged operation needs to be logged in WAL for standby servers. Fujii Masao
* Fix bug in wasender's xlogid boundary handling, reported by Erik Rijkers.Heikki Linnakangas2010-01-27
| | | | | | | | LogwrtRqst.Write can be set to non-existent FF log segment, we mustn't try to send that in XLogSend(). Also fix similar bug in ReadRecord(), which I just introduced in the ReadRecord() refactoring patch.
* Make standby server continuously retry restoring the next WAL segment withHeikki Linnakangas2010-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | restore_command, if the connection to the primary server is lost. This ensures that the standby can recover automatically, if the connection is lost for a long time and standby falls behind so much that the required WAL segments have been archived and deleted in the master. This also makes standby_mode useful without streaming replication; the server will keep retrying restore_command every few seconds until the trigger file is found. That's the same basic functionality pg_standby offers, but without the bells and whistles. To implement that, refactor the ReadRecord/FetchRecord functions. The FetchRecord() function introduced in the original streaming replication patch is removed, and all the retry logic is now in a new function called XLogReadPage(). XLogReadPage() is now responsible for executing restore_command, launching walreceiver, and waiting for new WAL to arrive from primary, as required. This also changes the life cycle of walreceiver. When launched, it now only tries to connect to the master once, and exits if the connection fails, or is lost during streaming for any reason. The startup process detects the death, and re-launches walreceiver if necessary.
* Add support for RADIUS authentication.Magnus Hagander2010-01-27

* Remove the default_do_language parameter, instead making DO use a hardwiredTom Lane2010-01-26
| | | | | | | | default of "plpgsql". This is more reasonable than it was when the DO patch was written, because we have since decided that plpgsql should be installed by default. Per discussion, having a parameter for this doesn't seem useful enough to justify the risk of application breakage if the value is changed unexpectedly.
* Reformat the comments in pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.confPeter Eisentraut2010-01-26
| | | | | | | These files have apparently been edited over the years by a dozen people with as many different editor settings, which made the alignment of the paragraphs quite inconsistent and ugly. I made a pass of M-q with Emacs to straighten it out.
* Make the default pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf align at 8-character boundariesPeter Eisentraut2010-01-26
| | | | to make it easier to use with tabs.
* Fix longstanding gripe that we check for 0000000001.history at start ofSimon Riggs2010-01-26

* Add get_bit/set_bit functions for bit strings, paralleling those for bytea,Tom Lane2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | and implement OVERLAY() for bit strings and bytea. In passing also convert text OVERLAY() to a true built-in, instead of relying on a SQL function. Leonardo F, reviewed by Kevin Grittner
* Fix assorted core dumps and Assert failures that could occur duringTom Lane2010-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | AbortTransaction or AbortSubTransaction, when trying to clean up after an error that prevented (sub)transaction start from completing: * access to TopTransactionResourceOwner that might not exist * assert failure in AtEOXact_GUC, if AtStart_GUC not called yet * assert failure or core dump in AfterTriggerEndSubXact, if AfterTriggerBeginSubXact not called yet Per testing by injecting elog(ERROR) at successive steps in StartTransaction and StartSubTransaction. It's not clear whether all of these cases could really occur in the field, but at least one of them is easily exposed by simple stress testing, as per my accidental discovery yesterday.
* Insert CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls into loops in dbsize.c, to ensure thatTom Lane2010-01-23
| | | | | | the various disk-size-reporting functions will respond to query cancel reasonably promptly even in very large databases. Per report from Kevin Grittner.
* Add explanatory detail to Hot Standby cancelation error messagesSimon Riggs2010-01-23
| | | | with errdetail(). Add errhint() to suggest retry in certain cases.
* In HS, Startup process sets SIGALRM when waiting for buffer pin. IfSimon Riggs2010-01-23
| | | | | | | woken by alarm we send SIGUSR1 to all backends requesting that they check to see if they are blocking Startup process. If so, they throw ERROR/FATAL as for other conflict resolutions. Deadlock stop gap removed. max_standby_delay = -1 option removed to prevent deadlock.
* Fix several oversights in previous commit - attribute options patch.Robert Haas2010-01-22
| | | | I failed to 'cvs add' the new files and also neglected to bump catversion.
* Replace ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DISTINCT with a more general mechanism.Robert Haas2010-01-22
| | | | | | | | | Attributes can now have options, just as relations and tablespaces do, and the reloptions code is used to parse, validate, and store them. For simplicity and because these options are not performance critical, we store them in a separate cache rather than the main relcache. Thanks to Alex Hunsaker for the review.

* Better internal documentation of locking for Hot Standby conflict resolution.Simon Riggs2010-01-21
| | | | | | Discuss the reasons for the lock type we hold on ProcArrayLock while deriving the conflict list. Cover the idea of false positive conflicts and seemingly strange effects on snapshot derivation.
* Well, the systemtap guys moved the goalposts again: with the latest version,Tom Lane2010-01-20
| | | | | | we *must* generate probes.o or the dtrace probes don't work. Revert our workaround for their previous bug. Details at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557266
* Fix bogus subdir setting. Again. I must've unfixed it by accident whileHeikki Linnakangas2010-01-20
| | | | moving files around.
* Write a WAL record whenever we perform an operation without WAL-loggingHeikki Linnakangas2010-01-20
| | | | | | | | that would've been WAL-logged if archiving was enabled. If we encounter such records in archive recovery anyway, we know that some data is missing from the log. A WARNING is emitted in that case. Original patch by Fujii Masao, with changes by me.
* Add missing "!= NULL", for the sake of consistency.Heikki Linnakangas2010-01-20

* Rethink the way walreceiver is linked into the backend. Instead than shovingHeikki Linnakangas2010-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | walreceiver as whole into a dynamically loaded module, split the libpq-specific parts of it into dynamically loaded module and keep the rest in the main backend binary. Although Tom fixed the Windows compilation problems with the old walreceiver module already, this is a cleaner division of labour and makes the code more readable. There's also the prospect of adding new transport methods as pluggable modules in the future, which this patch makes easier, though for now the API between libpqwalreceiver and walreceiver process should be considered private. The libpq-specific module is now in src/backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver, and the part linked with postgres binary is in src/backend/replication/walreceiver.c.
* Before attempting to create a composite type, check whether a type of thatPeter Eisentraut2010-01-20
| | | | | | name already exists, so we'd get an error message about a "type" instead of about a "relation", because the composite type code shares code with relation creation.
* Fix thinko in my recent change to put an explicit argisrow field in NullTest:Tom Lane2010-01-19
| | | | | | when the planner splits apart a ROW(...) IS NULL test, the argisrow values of the component tests have to be determined from the component field types, not copied from the original NullTest (in which argisrow is surely true).
* Add pg_stat_reset_shared('bgwriter') to reset the cluster-wide sharedMagnus Hagander2010-01-19

* Cast slightly abused enum to int, so that GCC 4.5 won't warn about switchPeter Eisentraut2010-01-18

* Fix an oversight in convert_EXISTS_sublink_to_join: we can't convert anTom Lane2010-01-18
| | | | | | EXISTS that contains a WITH clause. This would usually lead to a "could not find CTE" error later in planning, because the WITH wouldn't get processed at all. Noted while playing with an example from Ken Marshall.
* Fix incorrect comparison of scan key in GIN. Per report fromTeodor Sigaev2010-01-18

* Fix portalmem.c to avoid keeping a dangling pointer to a cached plan listTom Lane2010-01-18
| | | | | | | after it's released its reference count for the cached plan. There are code paths that might try to examine the plan list before noticing that the portal is already in aborted state. Report and diagnosis by Tatsuo Ishii, though this isn't exactly his proposed patch.
* Improve the handling of SET CONSTRAINTS commands by having them searchTom Lane2010-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_constraint before searching pg_trigger. This allows saner handling of corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable" rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable. Per a gripe several months ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski. To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers, we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint. However, in return we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents a fairly sizable space savings. I also replaced the tgisconstraint column with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was internally generated rather than being user-created. In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable. Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to a nominally deferrable FK constraint. The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.
