* Revise FlushRelationBuffers/ReleaseRelationBuffers per discussion withTom Lane2000-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hiroshi. ReleaseRelationBuffers now removes rel's buffers from pool, instead of merely marking them nondirty. The old code would leave valid buffers for a deleted relation, which didn't cause any known problems but can't possibly be a good idea. There were several places which called ReleaseRelationBuffers *and* FlushRelationBuffers, which is now unnecessary; but there were others that did not. FlushRelationBuffers no longer emits a warning notice if it finds dirty buffers to flush, because with the current bufmgr behavior that's not an unexpected condition. Also, FlushRelationBuffers will flush out all dirty buffers for the relation regardless of block number. This ensures that pg_upgrade's expectations are met about tuple on-row status bits being up-to-date on disk. Lastly, tweak BufTableDelete() to clear the buffer's tag so that no one can mistake it for being a still-valid buffer for the page it once held. Formerly, the buffer would not be found by buffer hashtable searches after BufTableDelete(), but it would still be thought to belong to its old relation by the routines that sequentially scan the shared-buffer array. Again I know of no bugs caused by that, but it still can't be a good idea.

* Reduce COPY IN lock from AccessExclusive to a more reasonableTom Lane2000-05-18
| | | | | | | RowExclusive (my fault). Also, install a check to prevent people from trying COPY BINARY to stdout/from stdin. No way that will work unless we redesign the frontend COPY protocol ... which is not worth the trouble in the near future ...
* Several compilation and run-time problems occur when building on SGIBruce Momjian2000-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | IRIX systems using the native compilers. A summary is: - Various files use "//" as a comment delimiter in c files. - Problems caused by assuming "char" is signed. cash.in: building -signed the rules regression test fails as described in FAQ_QNX4. If CHAR_MAX is "255U" then ((signed char)CHAR_MAX) is -1. postmaster.c: random number regression test failed without this change. - Some generic build issues and warning message cleanup.

* Remove configure check for how to abbreviate 'tr A-Z a-z', and insteadTom Lane2000-05-16
| | | | | | | just use the portable form, tr ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz There were a bunch of places that weren't paying attention to configure's result anyway (including configure itself!?); clean them up too.

* This is the second time I've answered this exact same problem in twoBruce Momjian2000-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | days. It seems to be a FAQ, and I think I know why. When creating a 'c' language function, CREATE FUNCTION is fed the shared object filename, and seems to succeed. Only when trying to use the function is an error thrown, by which time the coder thinks something's wrong with executing the code, not with loading it. I think I once saw it proposed to load shared objects at function creation time, but that idea was shot down on the grounds of resident memory bloat, ISTR. Here's a patch for a compromise: all it does is stat() the file, just like the loader code does, so that the errors caused by non existent files, and no directory 'x' permissions (the most common ones, it seems), get caught while the developer is still thinking about code loading. It doesn't catch all errors (like the code not being readable by the postgres user) but seems to catch the most common, without actually opening the file. What do you think? Ross
* Squash some more CLUSTER bugs. Never has worked on multiple-columnTom Lane2000-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | indexes, apparently, nor on functional indexes with more than one input column (force of natts = 1 was in the wrong branch of IF statement). Coredumped if source relation contained any uncommitted tuples, due to failure to test for success return from heap_fetch. Fetched tuple was passed directly to heap_insert, which clobbers the TID and commit status in the tuple header it's given, which meant that the source relation's tuples all got trashed as the copy proceeded. Abort partway through, and you're left with a lot of missing tuples. I wonder what else is lurking here ...
* Repair list-vs-node confusion that resulted in failure for INNER JOIN ON.Tom Lane2000-05-12
| | | | | Make it behave correctly when there are more than two tables being joined, also. Update regression test expected outputs.
* Makefile CFLAGS cleanups.Bruce Momjian2000-05-11

* Fix CLUSTER ... or at least undo the bit-rot it's suffered since 6.5.Tom Lane2000-05-11
| | | | | It's still pretty fundamentally bogus :-(. Freebie side benefit: ALTER TABLE RENAME works on indexes now.

* Don't leak a file descriptor when updating pg_pwd file. Also, check forTom Lane2000-05-04

* Modify getdatabaseencoding(), pg_encoding_to_char()Tatsuo Ishii2000-05-02
| | | | | | pg_char_to_encoding() in multibyte disbaled case so that it does not throw an error, rather return HARD CODED default value (currently SQL_ASCII). This would solve the "non-mb backend vs. mb-enabled frontend" problem.
* Reset CurrentMemoryContext to TopMemoryContext at the beginning of errorTom Lane2000-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | cleanup, ie, as soon as we have caught the longjmp. This ensures that current context will be a valid context throughout error cleanup. Before it was possible that current context was pointing at a context that would get deleted during cleanup, leaving any subsequent pallocs in deep trouble. I was able to provoke an Assert failure when compiled with asserts + -DCLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY, if I did something that would cause an error to be reported by the backend large-object code, because indeed that code operates in a context that gets deleted partway through xact abort --- and CurrentMemoryContext was still pointing at it! Boo hiss.
* Remove bogus 'xid loop detected' check, which actually wasn't detectingTom Lane2000-04-30
| | | | loops, but just arbitrarily failing at 1000 locks.
* Setting statistic options from SET PG_OPTIONS caused a backend crashTom Lane2000-04-28
| | | | | because StatFp never got set in that case. Set it immediately before use to eliminate such problems.
* Except_Intersect_Rewrite() failed to ignore resjunk targetlist entries,Tom Lane2000-04-27
| | | | | thus causing failure if one sub-select had resjunk entries that the other did not (cf. bug report from Espinosa 4/27/00).
* Repair problem noted by Elphick: make_rels_by_joins failed to handleTom Lane2000-04-27
| | | | | | | | cases where joinclauses were present but some joins have to be made by cartesian-product join anyway. An example is SELECT * FROM a,b,c WHERE (a.f1 + b.f2 + c.f3) = 0; Even though all the rels have joinclauses, we must join two of them in cartesian style before we can use the join clause...
* -D switch to postmaster should override any PGDATA environment variableTom Lane2000-04-27
| | | | | that might be hanging about. Now it does ... amazing nobody noticed this before ...
* Tweak outUnique to include uniqColIdx[] field in the printout. This doesTom Lane2000-04-26
| | | | | not cause any compatibility problems because stored rules don't contain plan nodes --- in fact, we don't even have a readfunc for Unique nodes.
* On HPUX, shl_load should be called with options BIND_IMMEDIATE ratherTom Lane2000-04-26
| | | | | | | than BIND_DEFERRED. That way, if the loaded library has unresolved references, shl_load fails cleanly. As we had it, shl_load would succeed and then the dynlinker would call abort() when we try to call into the loaded library. abort()ing a backend is uncool.

* Check that user-specified opclass in CREATE INDEX corresponds to operatorsTom Lane2000-04-25
| | | | that will actually work on the column datatype.
* Produce an appropriate error message when opclass is not supported byTom Lane2000-04-23
| | | | | specified index access method. Clean up wording of some existing error messages, too.
* 7.0 buffer manager can support different backends running with differentTom Lane2000-04-23
| | | | fsync settings, so the -F option no longer needs to be treated as secure.
* Clean up const-vs-not-const compiler warning in MULTIBYTE code.Tom Lane2000-04-20
| | | | 'Twas my fault, I think.
* Correct error in rewriter that caused SELECT count(*) FROM viewTom Lane2000-04-20
| | | | | | | to give wrong results: it should be looking at inJoinSet not inFromCl. Also, make 'modified' flag be local to ApplyRetrieveRule: we should append a rule's quals to the query iff that particular rule applies, not if we have fired any previously-considered rule for the query!
* Repair coredump seen when a view refers to an inheritance groupTom Lane2000-04-18
| | | | | | (SELECT FROM table*). Cause was reference to 'eref' field of an RTE, which is null in an RTE loaded from a stored rule parsetree. There wasn't any good reason to be touching the refname anyway...
* Correct oversight in hashjoin cost estimation: nodeHash sizes its hashTom Lane2000-04-18
| | | | | | table for an average of NTUP_PER_BUCKET tuples/bucket, but cost_hashjoin was assuming a target load of one tuple/bucket. This was causing a noticeable underestimate of hashjoin costs.
* Add new selectivity estimation functions for pattern-matching operatorsTom Lane2000-04-16
| | | | | | | | (LIKE and regexp matches). These are not yet referenced in pg_operator, so by default the system will continue to use eqsel/neqsel. Also, tweak convert_to_scalar() logic so that common prefixes of strings are stripped off, allowing better accuracy when all strings in a table share a common prefix.
* Allow COPY WITH OIDS to system OID values --- rely on unique indexes toTom Lane2000-04-16

* get_relattval() should treat a NULL constant as a non-constant expression,Tom Lane2000-04-16
| | | | | | since it has no way to indicate to its caller that the constant is actually NULL. This prevents coredump in cases like WHERE textfield < null::text;
* elog(NOTICE) during COPY incorrectly reset lineno to 0, causing anyTom Lane2000-04-15
| | | | | | subsequent elogs() in the same COPY operation to display the wrong line number. Fix is to clear lineno only when elog level is such that we will not return to caller.
* Fix (well, add) support for ISO "week" in date_part(). Needed for ODBC.Thomas G. Lockhart2000-04-14
| | | | | Fix spelling of "millennium". Thanks to Mika Nystrom <mika@camembert.cs.caltech.edu> for spotting this.
* Skip setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR) for the Unix-domain postmaster socket onTom Lane2000-04-14
| | | | | | all platforms, not just SCO. The operation is undefined for Unix-domain sockets anyway. It seems SCO is not the only platform that complains instead of treating the call as a no-op.
* Repair bug reported by Wickstrom: backend would crash if WHERE clauseTom Lane2000-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | contained a sub-SELECT nested within an AND/OR tree that cnfify() thought it should rearrange. Same physical sub-SELECT node could end up linked into multiple places in resulting expression tree. This is harmless for most node types, but not for SubLink. Repair bug by making physical copies of subexpressions that get logically duplicated by cnfify(). Also, tweak the heuristic that decides whether it's a good idea to do cnfify() --- we don't really want that to happen when it would cause multiple copies of a subselect to be generated, I think.

* Tweak smgrblindwrt per advice from Vadim: add parameter indicatingTom Lane2000-04-10
| | | | | | whether to do fsync or not, and if so (which should be seldom) just do the fsync immediately. This way we need not build data structures in md.c/fd.c for blind writes.

| | | | | | | | | logged queries to 1024, truncating longer queries. That is about half of the size I need (I have a union that is 2K long). Can someone consider bumping it to 4K or so? Patch attached... Regards, Ed Loehr

* Buffer manager modifications to keep a local buffer-dirtied bit as wellTom Lane2000-04-09
| | | | | | | | as a shared dirtybit for each shared buffer. The shared dirtybit still controls writing the buffer, but the local bit controls whether we need to fsync the buffer's file. This arrangement fixes a bug that allowed some required fsyncs to be missed, and should improve performance as well. For more info see my post of same date on pghackers.
