* Convert index-related tuple handling routines from char 'n'/' ' to boolTom Lane2005-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | convention for isnull flags. Also, remove the useless InsertIndexResult return struct from index AM aminsert calls --- there is no reason for the caller to know where in the index the tuple was inserted, and we were wasting a palloc cycle per insert to deliver this uninteresting value (plus nontrivial complexity in some AMs). I forced initdb because of the change in the signature of the aminsert routines, even though nothing really looks at those pg_proc entries...
* Change the return value of HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate() to be an enum,Neil Conway2005-03-20
| | | | | rather than an integer, and fix the associated fallout. From Alvaro Herrera.

* Remove unnecessary calls of FlushRelationBuffers: there is no needTom Lane2005-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | to write out data that we are about to tell the filesystem to drop. smgr_internal_unlink already had a DropRelFileNodeBuffers call to get rid of dead buffers without a write after it's no longer possible to roll back the deleting transaction. Adding a similar call in smgrtruncate simplifies callers and makes the overall division of labor clearer. This patch removes the former behavior that VACUUM would write all dirty buffers of a relation unconditionally.
* Add temp_buffers GUC variable to allow users to determine the sizeTom Lane2005-03-19
| | | | of the local buffer arena for temporary table access.
* Upgrade localbuf.c to use a hash table instead of linear search toTom Lane2005-03-19
| | | | | find already-allocated local buffers. This is the last obstacle in the way of setting NLocBuffer to something reasonably large.
* Need to reset local buffer pin counts, not only shared buffer pins,Tom Lane2005-03-18
| | | | before we attempt any file deletions in ShutdownPostgres. Per Tatsuo.
* Avoid infinite loop in InvalidateBuffer if we ourselves are holdingTom Lane2005-03-18

* Need to release buffer pins before attempting to drop files duringTom Lane2005-03-18
| | | | backend exit. Per report from Bruce.
* Treat EPERM as a non-error case when checking to see if old postmasterTom Lane2005-03-18
| | | | | | | | | is still alive. This improves our odds of not getting fooled by an unrelated process when checking a stale lock file. Other checks already in place, plus one newly added in checkDataDir(), ensure that we cannot attempt to usurp the place of a postmaster belonging to a different userid, so there is no need to error out. Add comments indicating the importance of these other checks.
* This patch moves some code for preprocessing FOR UPDATE fromNeil Conway2005-03-17
| | | | | | grouping_planner() to preprocess_targetlist(), according to a comment in grouping_planner(). I think the refactoring makes sense, and moves some extraneous details out of grouping_planner().

* Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassemblyTom Lane2005-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr() calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots. (I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be helped very much. I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either 'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.
* Add missing include for new lc_ctype_is_c() function.Bruce Momjian2005-03-16
| | | | Per Neil.
* Prevent locale-aware handling of upper, lower, and initcap when theBruce Momjian2005-03-16
| | | | | | | locale is C. Backpatch to 8.0.X because some operating systems were throwing errors for such operations, rather than ignoring the locale when it was C.
* Wrap the implementation of fork_process() inside #ifndef WIN32 -- thisNeil Conway2005-03-16
| | | | | should hopefully unbreak the Win32 build. Apologies for breaking it in the first place.

* Avoid O(N^2) overhead in repeated nocachegetattr calls when columns ofTom Lane2005-03-14
| | | | | | | | a tuple are being accessed via ExecEvalVar and the attcacheoff shortcut isn't usable (due to nulls and/or varlena columns). To do this, cache Datums extracted from a tuple in the associated TupleTableSlot. Also some code cleanup in and around the TupleTable handling. Atsushi Ogawa with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.
* Allow ALTER FUNCTION to change a function's strictness, volatility, andNeil Conway2005-03-14
| | | | | | | | | whether or not it is a security definer. Changing a function's strictness is required by SQL2003, and the other capabilities make sense. Also, allow an optional RESTRICT noise word to be specified, for SQL conformance. Some trivial regression tests added and the documentation has been updated.

* Make default_with_oids default to false -- user-created tables will nowNeil Conway2005-03-13
| | | | | | no longer include OIDs, unless WITH OIDS is specified or the default_with_oids configuration parameter is enabled. Update the docs accordingly.

* Document aliases for our supported encodings.Bruce Momjian2005-03-13
| | | | Add a few encodings that were not documented.
* When cloning template0 (or other fully-frozen databases), set the newTom Lane2005-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | database's datallowconn and datfrozenxid to the current transaction ID instead of copying the source database's values. This is OK because we assume the source DB contains no normal transaction IDs whatsoever. This keeps VACUUM from immediately starting to complain about unvacuumed databases in the situation where we are more than 2 billion transactions out from the XID stamp of template0. Per discussion with Milen Radev (although his complaint turned out to be due to something else, but the problem is real anyway).
* Fix ALTER DATABASE RENAME to allow the operation if user is a superuserTom Lane2005-03-12
| | | | | who for some reason isn't marked usecreatedb. Per report from Alexander Pravking. Also fix sloppy coding in have_createdb_privilege().
* Adjust the API for aggregate function calls so that a C-coded functionTom Lane2005-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | can tell whether it is being used as an aggregate or not. This allows such a function to avoid re-pallocing a pass-by-reference transition value; normally it would be unsafe for a function to scribble on an input, but in the aggregate case it's safe to reuse the old transition value. Make int8inc() do this. This gets a useful improvement in the speed of COUNT(*), at least on narrow tables (it seems to be swamped by I/O when the table rows are wide). Per a discussion in early December with Neil Conway. I also fixed int_aggregate.c to check this, thereby turning it into something approaching a supportable technique instead of being a crude hack.

* Fix problem with infinite recursion between write_syslogger_file andTom Lane2005-03-12
| | | | | | | | elog if the former has trouble writing its file. Code review for Magnus' patch to redirect stderr to syslog on Windows (Bruce's version seems right, but did some minor prettification). Backpatch both changes to 8.0 branch.
* Add fprintf() custom version to libpgport.Bruce Momjian2005-03-11
| | | | | | | Document use of macros for pg_printf functions. Bump major versions of all interfaces to handle movement of get_progname from libpq to libpgport in 8.0, and probably other libpgport changes in 8.1.

* Make the behavior of HAVING without GROUP BY conform to the SQL spec.Tom Lane2005-03-10
| | | | | | | | | Formerly, if such a clause contained no aggregate functions we mistakenly treated it as equivalent to WHERE. Per spec it must cause the query to be treated as a grouped query of a single group, the same as appearance of aggregate functions would do. Also, the HAVING filter must execute after aggregate function computation even if it itself contains no aggregate functions.
* Refactor fork()-related code. We need to do various housekeeping tasksNeil Conway2005-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | before we can invoke fork() -- flush stdio buffers, save and restore the profiling timer on Linux with LINUX_PROFILE, and handle BeOS stuff. This patch moves that code into a single function, fork_process(), instead of duplicating it at the various callsites of fork(). This patch doesn't address the EXEC_BACKEND case; there is room for further cleanup there.
* Unbreak out-of-tree builds, by fixing a typo.Neil Conway2005-03-07

* Adjust creation/destruction of TupleDesc data structure to reduce theTom Lane2005-03-07
| | | | | | number of palloc calls. This has a salutory impact on plpgsql operations with record variables (which create and destroy tupdescs constantly) and probably helps a bit in some other cases too.
* Rename canonical encodings, per Peter:Bruce Momjian2005-03-07
| | | | | | | | | UNICODE => UTF8 ALT => WIN866 WIN => WIN1251 TCVN => WIN1258 The old codes continue to work.
* Here's a tiny fix for a harmless typo in catalog.c:Neil Conway2005-03-07
| | | | | | | | Too much space is allocated for tablespace file path, I guess the directory name used to be "pg_tablespaces" instead of "pg_tblspc" at some point. Heikki Linnakangas
* Revise hash join code so that we can increase the number of batchesTom Lane2005-03-06
| | | | | | | on-the-fly, and thereby avoid blowing out memory when the planner has underestimated the hash table size. Hash join will now obey the work_mem limit with some faithfulness. Per my recent proposal (hash aggregate part isn't done yet though).
* Replace the BufMgrLock with separate locks on the lookup hashtable andTom Lane2005-03-04
| | | | | | | | the freelist, plus per-buffer spinlocks that protect access to individual shared buffer headers. This requires abandoning a global freelist (since the freelist is a global contention point), which shoots down ARC and 2Q as well as plain LRU management. Adopt a clock sweep algorithm instead. Preliminary results show substantial improvement in multi-backend situations.
* Another go at making pred_test() handle all reasonable combinationsTom Lane2005-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | of AND and OR clauses. The key point here is that an OR on the predicate side has to be treated gingerly: we may be able to prove that the OR is implied even when no one of its components is implied. For example (x OR y) implies (x OR y OR z) even though no one of x, y, or z can be individually proven. This code handles both the example shown recently by Sergey Koshcheyev and the one shown last October by Dawid Kuroczko.
* Release proclock immediately in RemoveFromWaitQueue() if it representsTom Lane2005-03-01
| | | | | | no held locks. This maintains the invariant that proclocks are present only for procs that are holding or awaiting a lock; when this is not true, LockRelease will fail. Per report from Stephen Clouse.
* Allow Trace_lock_oidmin to be set to zero; this is a reasonableTom Lane2005-03-01
| | | | representation of not wanting tracing to be limited by object OID.
* Adjust OR indexscan logic to not generate redundant condition-free ORTom Lane2005-03-01
| | | | | | indexscans involving partial indexes. These would always be dominated by a simple indexscan on such an index, so there's no point in considering them. Fixes overoptimism in a patch I applied last October.
* Revert the logic for expanding AND/OR conditions in pred_test() to whatTom Lane2005-03-01
| | | | | | it was in 7.4, and add some comments explaining why it has to be this way. I broke it for OR'd index predicates in a fit of code cleanup last summer. Per example from Sergey Koshcheyev.
* Implement max() and min() aggregates for array types. Patch from KojuNeil Conway2005-02-28
