* Native shared memory implementation for win32.Magnus Hagander2007-03-21
| | | | Uses same underlying tech as before, but not the sysv emulation layer.
* Add three new regexp functions: regexp_matches, regexp_split_to_array,Neil Conway2007-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | and regexp_split_to_table. These functions provide access to the capture groups resulting from a POSIX regular expression match, and provide the ability to split a string on a POSIX regular expression, respectively. Patch from Jeremy Drake; code review by Neil Conway, additional comments and suggestions from Tom and Peter E. This patch bumps the catversion, adds some regression tests, and updates the docs.
* Changes pg_trigger and extend pg_rewrite in order to allow triggers andJan Wieck2007-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rules to be defined with different, per session controllable, behaviors for replication purposes. This will allow replication systems like Slony-I and, as has been stated on pgsql-hackers, other products to control the firing mechanism of triggers and rewrite rules without modifying the system catalog directly. The firing mechanisms are controlled by a new superuser-only GUC variable, session_replication_role, together with a change to pg_trigger.tgenabled and a new column pg_rewrite.ev_enabled. Both columns are a single char data type now (tgenabled was a bool before). The possible values in these attributes are: 'O' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "origin" (default) or "local". This is the default behavior. 'D' - Trigger/Rule is disabled and fires never 'A' - Trigger/Rule fires always regardless of the setting of session_replication_role 'R' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "replica" The GUC variable can only be changed as long as the system does not have any cached query plans. This will prevent changing the session role and accidentally executing stored procedures or functions that have plans cached that expand to the wrong query set due to differences in the rule firing semantics. The SQL syntax for changing a triggers/rules firing semantics is ALTER TABLE <tabname> <when> TRIGGER|RULE <name>; <when> ::= ENABLE | ENABLE ALWAYS | ENABLE REPLICA | DISABLE psql's \d command as well as pg_dump are extended in a backward compatible fashion.

* SPI_cursor_open failed to enforce that only read-only queries could beTom Lane2007-03-17
| | | | | | | executed in read_only mode. This could lead to various relatively-subtle failures, such as an allegedly stable function returning non-stable results. Bug goes all the way back to the introduction of read-only mode in 8.0. Per report from Gaetano Mendola.
* Ooops, got only one of the two ArrayExpr variants correct in firstTom Lane2007-03-17
| | | | | | cut at exprTypmod support. Also, experimentation shows that we need to label the type of Const nodes that are numeric with a specific typmod.
* Fix up the remaining places where the expression node structure would loseTom Lane2007-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | available information about the typmod of an expression; namely, Const, ArrayRef, ArrayExpr, and EXPR and ARRAY SubLinks. In the ArrayExpr and SubLink cases it wasn't really the data structure's fault, but exprTypmod() being lazy. This seems like a good idea in view of the expected increase in typmod usage from Teodor's work to allow user-defined types to have typmods. In particular this responds to the concerns we had about eliminating the special-purpose hack that exprTypmod() used to have for BPCHAR Consts. We can now tell whether or not such a Const has been cast to a specific length, and report or display properly if so. initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.
* Add new columns for tuple statistics on a database level toMagnus Hagander2007-03-16
| | | | pg_stat_database.
* Make use of plancache module for SPI plans. In particular, since plpgsqlTom Lane2007-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | uses SPI plans, this finally fixes the ancient gotcha that you can't drop and recreate a temp table used by a plpgsql function. Along the way, clean up SPI's API a little bit by declaring SPI plan pointers as "SPIPlanPtr" instead of "void *". This is cosmetic but helps to forestall simple programming mistakes. (I have changed some but not all of the callers to match; there are still some "void *"'s in contrib and the PL's. This is intentional so that we can see if anyone's compiler complains about it.)
* Fix a longstanding bug in VACUUM FULL's handling of update chains. The codeTom Lane2007-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | did not expect that a DEAD tuple could follow a RECENTLY_DEAD tuple in an update chain, but because the OldestXmin rule for determining deadness is a simplification of reality, it is possible for this situation to occur (implying that the RECENTLY_DEAD tuple is in fact dead to all observers, but this patch does not attempt to exploit that). The code would follow a chain forward all the way, but then stop before a DEAD tuple when backing up, meaning that not all of the chain got moved. This could lead to copying the chain multiple times (resulting in duplicate copies of the live tuple at its end), or leaving dangling index entries behind (which, aside from generating warnings from later vacuums, creates a risk of wrong query results or bogus duplicate-key errors once the heap slot the index entry points to is repopulated). The fix is to recheck HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum while following a chain forward, and to stop if a DEAD tuple is reached. Each contiguous group of RECENTLY_DEAD tuples will therefore be copied as a separate chain. The patch also adds a couple of extra sanity checks to verify correct behavior. Per report and test case from Pavan Deolasee.
* Reverted waiting for further fixes:Peter Eisentraut2007-03-13

* 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.
* Make configuration parameters fall back to their default values when theyPeter Eisentraut2007-03-12

* Fix a race condition that caused pg_database_size() and pg_tablespace_size()Alvaro Herrera2007-03-11
| | | | | | | | | to fail if an object was removed between calls to ReadDir() and stat(). Per discussion in pgsql-hackers. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-03/msg00671.php Bug report and patch by Michael Fuhr.
* Fix vac_update_relstats to ensure it always sends a relcache inval message,Tom Lane2007-03-08
| | | | | | | | even if none of the fields in the pg_class row change. This behavior is necessary to ensure other backends flush rd_targblock values that might point to truncated-away pages. We got this right pre-8.2 but it was broken by overoptimistic change to not write out the pg_class row if unchanged. Per report from Pavan Deolasee.
* Cleanup the bootstrap code a little, and rename "dummy procs" in the codeAlvaro Herrera2007-03-07
| | | | comments and variables to "auxiliary proc", per Heikki's request.
* Fix oversight in original coding of inline_function(): sinceTom Lane2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | check_sql_fn_retval allows binary-compatibility cases, the expression extracted from an inline-able SQL function might have a type that is only binary-compatible with the declared function result type. To avoid possibly changing the semantics of the expression, we should insert a RelabelType node in such cases. This has only been shown to have bad consequences in recent 8.1 and up releases, but I suspect there may be failure cases in the older branches too, so patch it all the way back. Per bug #3116 from Greg Mullane. Along the way, fix an omission in eval_const_expressions_mutator: it failed to copy the relabelformat field when processing a RelabelType. No known observable failures from this, but it definitely isn't intended behavior.

* Suppress useless searches for unused line pointers in PageAddItem. To doTom Lane2007-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | this, add a 16-bit "flags" field to page headers by stealing some bits from pd_tli. We use one flag bit as a hint to indicate whether there are any unused line pointers; the remaining 15 are available for future use. This is a cut-down form of an idea proposed by Hiroki Kataoka in July 2005. At the time it was rejected because the original patch increased the size of page headers and it wasn't clear that the benefit outweighed the distributed cost. The flag-bit approach gets most of the benefit without requiring an increase in the page header size. Heikki Linnakangas and Tom Lane

* Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane2007-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane
* Allow information schema definitions to work without requiring implicitPeter Eisentraut2007-02-27
| | | | casts to text.
* Get rid of the separate EState for subplans, and just let them share theTom Lane2007-02-27
| | | | | | | | | parent query's EState. Now that there's a single flat rangetable for both the main plan and subplans, there's no need anymore for a separate EState, and removing it allows cleaning up some crufty code in nodeSubplan.c and nodeSubqueryscan.c. Should be a tad faster too, although any difference will probably be hard to measure. This is the last bit of subsidiary mop-up work from changing to a flat rangetable.
* Put back copyObject() call I removed in a fit of brain fade. This oneTom Lane2007-02-25
| | | | | | is still needed despite cleanups in setrefs.c, because the point is to let the inserted Result node compute a different tlist than its input node does. Per example from Jeremy Drake.
* Now that plans have flat rangetable lists, it's a lot easier to get EXPLAIN toTom Lane2007-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | drill down into subplan targetlists to print the referent expression for an OUTER or INNER var in an upper plan node. Hence, make it do that always, and banish the old hack of showing "?columnN?" when things got too complicated. Along the way, fix an EXPLAIN bug I introduced by suppressing subqueries from execution-time range tables: get_name_for_var_field() assumed it could look at rte->subquery to find out the real type of a RECORD var. That doesn't work anymore, but instead we can look at the input plan of the SubqueryScan plan node.

* Change Agg and Group nodes so that Vars contained in their targetlistsTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | | | and quals have varno OUTER, rather than zero, to indicate a reference to an output of their lefttree subplan. This is consistent with the way that every other upper-level node type does it, and allows some simplifications in setrefs.c and EXPLAIN.
* Fix bug I introduced in recent patch to make hash joins discard null tuplesTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | immediately: ExecHashGetHashValue failed to restore the caller's memory context before taking the failure exit.
* Turn the rangetable used by the executor into a flat list, and avoid storingTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | useless substructure for its RangeTblEntry nodes. (I chose to keep using the same struct node type and just zero out the link fields for unneeded info, rather than making a separate ExecRangeTblEntry type --- it seemed too fragile to have two different rangetable representations.) Along the way, put subplans into a list in the toplevel PlannedStmt node, and have SubPlan nodes refer to them by list index instead of direct pointers. Vadim wanted to do that years ago, but I never understood what he was on about until now. It makes things a *whole* lot more robust, because we can stop worrying about duplicate processing of subplans during expression tree traversals. That's been a constant source of bugs, and it's finally gone. There are some consequent simplifications yet to be made, like not using a separate EState for subplans in the executor, but I'll tackle that later.
* Update new optional VACUUM FULL hint for translations, per Alvaro.Bruce Momjian2007-02-21

* Move increase FSM warning to after lazy_truncate_heap() because theBruce Momjian2007-02-21
| | | | | | | function might reduce the number of free pages in the table. Recommend VACUUM FULL only if 20% free. Simon Riggs.
* btree source code cleanups:Bruce Momjian2007-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I refactored findsplitloc and checksplitloc so that the division of labor is more clear IMO. I pushed all the space calculation inside the loop to checksplitloc. I also fixed the off by 4 in free space calculation caused by PageGetFreeSpace subtracting sizeof(ItemIdData), even though it was harmless, because it was distracting and I felt it might come back to bite us in the future if we change the page layout or alignments. There's now a new function PageGetExactFreeSpace that doesn't do the subtraction. findsplitloc now tries the "just the new item to right page" split as well. If people don't like the refactoring, I can write a patch to just add that. Heikki Linnakangas

* Remove the Query structure from the executor's API. This allows us to stopTom Lane2007-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | storing mostly-redundant Query trees in prepared statements, portals, etc. To replace Query, a new node type called PlannedStmt is inserted by the planner at the top of a completed plan tree; this carries just the fields of Query that are still needed at runtime. The statement lists kept in portals etc. now consist of intermixed PlannedStmt and bare utility-statement nodes --- no Query. This incidentally allows us to remove some fields from Query and Plan nodes that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Still to do: simplify the execution-time range table; at the moment the range table passed to the executor still contains Query trees for subqueries. initdb forced due to change of stored rules.
* Add "isodow" option to EXTRACT() and date_part() where Sunday = 7.Bruce Momjian2007-02-19
