* Fix planner to restore its previous level of intelligence about pushingTom Lane2009-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constants through full joins, as in select * from tenk1 a full join tenk1 b using (unique1) where unique1 = 42; which should generate a fairly cheap plan where we apply the constraint unique1 = 42 in each relation scan. This had been broken by my patch of 2008-06-27, which is now reverted in favor of a more invasive but hopefully less incorrect approach. That patch was meant to prevent incorrect extraction of OR'd indexclauses from OR conditions above an outer join. To do that correctly we need more information than the outerjoin_delay flag can provide, so add a nullable_relids field to RestrictInfo that records exactly which relations are nulled by outer joins that are underneath a particular qual clause. A side benefit is that we can make the test in create_or_index_quals more specific: it is now smart enough to extract an OR'd indexclause into the outer side of an outer join, even though it must not do so in the inner side. The old coding couldn't distinguish these cases so it could not do either.

| | | | | | | | select u&42 from table-with-a-u-column; Also fix missing SET_YYLLOC() in the {dolqfailed} production that I suppose this was based on. The latter is a pre-existing bug, but the only effect is to misplace the error cursor by one token, so probably not worth backpatching.

| | | | | | | how this ought to behave for multi-dimensional arrays. Per discussion, not having it at all seems better than having it with what might prove to be the wrong behavior. We can always add it later when we have consensus on the correct behavior.

* Tell gettext which codeset to use by calling bind_textdomain_codeset(). WeHeikki Linnakangas2009-04-08
| | | | | | | | | already did that on Windows, but it's needed on other platforms too when LC_CTYPE=C. With other locales, we enforce (or trust) that the codeset of the locale matches the server encoding so we don't need to bind it explicitly. It should do no harm in that case either, but I don't have full faith in the PG encoding -> OS codeset mapping table yet. Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers.

* Change cardinality() into a C-code function, instead of a SQL-languageTom Lane2009-04-05
| | | | | | | alias for array_length(v,1). The efficiency gain here is doubtless negligible --- what I'm interested in is making sure that if we have second thoughts about the definition, we will not have to force a post-beta initdb to change the implementation.
* Make ExecInitExpr build the list of SubPlans found in a plan tree in orderTom Lane2009-04-05
| | | | | | | | of discovery, rather than reverse order. This doesn't matter functionally (I suppose the previous coding dates from the time when lcons was markedly cheaper than lappend). However now that EXPLAIN is labeling subplans with IDs that are based on order of creation, this may help produce a slightly less surprising printout.
* Change EXPLAIN output so that subplans and initplans (particularly CTEs)Tom Lane2009-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | are individually labeled, rather than just grouped under an "InitPlan" or "SubPlan" heading. This in turn makes it possible for decompilation of a subplan reference to usefully identify which subplan it's referencing. I also made InitPlans identify which parameter symbol(s) they compute, so that references to those parameters elsewhere in the plan tree can be connected to the initplan that will be executed. Per a gripe from Robert Haas about EXPLAIN output of a WITH query being inadequate, plus some longstanding pet peeves of my own.
* Fix infinite loop while checking of partial match in pending list.Teodor Sigaev2009-04-05
| | | | | Improve comments. Now GIN-indexable operators should be strict. Per Tom's questions/suggestions.
* Remove a boatload of useless definitions of 'int optreset'. If weTom Lane2009-04-05
| | | | | | are using our own ports of getopt or getopt_long, those will define the variable for themselves; and if not, we don't need these, because we never touch the variable anyway.
* Remove the recently added node types ReloptElem and OptionDefElem in favorTom Lane2009-04-04
| | | | | | of adding optional namespace and action fields to DefElem. Having three node types that do essentially the same thing bloats the code and leads to errors of confusion, such as in yesterday's bug report from Khee Chin.
* A session that does not have any live snapshots does not have to be waited forTom Lane2009-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | when we are waiting for old snapshots to go away during a concurrent index build. In particular, this rule lets us avoid waiting for idle-in-transaction sessions. This logic could be improved further if we had some way to wake up when the session we are currently waiting for goes idle-in-transaction. However that would be a significantly more complex/invasive patch, so it'll have to wait for some other day. Simon Riggs, with some improvements by Tom.
* Rewrite interval_hash() so that the hashcodes are equal for values thatTom Lane2009-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | interval_eq() considers equal. I'm not sure how that fundamental requirement escaped us through multiple revisions of this hash function, but there it is; it's been wrong since interval_hash was first written for PG 7.1. Per bug #4748 from Roman Kononov. Backpatch to all supported releases. This patch changes the contents of hash indexes for interval columns. That's no particular problem for PG 8.4, since we've broken on-disk compatibility of hash indexes already; but it will require a migration warning note in the next minor releases of all existing branches: "if you have any hash indexes on columns of type interval, REINDEX them after updating".
* Disallow setting fillfactor for TOAST tables.Alvaro Herrera2009-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To implement this without almost duplicating the reloption table, treat relopt_kind as a bitmask instead of an integer value. This decreases the range of allowed values, but it's not clear that there's need for that much values anyway. This patch also makes heap_reloptions explicitly a no-op for relation kinds other than heap and TOAST tables. Patch by ITAGAKI Takahiro with minor edits from me. (In particular I removed the bit about adding relation kind to an error message, which I intend to commit separately.)
* Add a comment documenting the question of whether PrefetchBuffer shouldTom Lane2009-04-03
| | | | | | | try to protect an already-existing buffer from being evicted. This was left as an open issue when the posix_fadvise patch was committed. I'm not sure there's any evidence to justify more work in this area, but we should have some record about it in the source code.
* Refactor ExecProject and associated routines so that fast-path code is usedTom Lane2009-04-02
| | | | | | | | | for simple Var targetlist entries all the time, even when there are other entries that are not simple Vars. Also, ensure that we prefetch attributes (with slot_getsomeattrs) for all Vars in the targetlist, even those buried within expressions. In combination these changes seem to significantly reduce the runtime for cases where tlists are mostly but not exclusively Vars. Per my proposal of yesterday.

* Fix SetClientEncoding() to maintain a cache of previously selected encodingTom Lane2009-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | conversion functions. This allows transaction rollback to revert to a previous client_encoding setting without doing fresh catalog lookups. I believe that this explains and fixes the recent report of "failed to commit client_encoding" failures. This bug is present in 8.3.x, but it doesn't seem prudent to back-patch the fix, at least not till it's had some time for field testing in HEAD. In passing, remove SetDefaultClientEncoding(), which was used nowhere.
* Fix GUC's reports of assign_hook failure to always include the parameter valueTom Lane2009-04-02
| | | | | | we failed to assign, even in "can't happen" cases. Motivated by wondering what's going on in a recent trouble report where "failed to commit" did happen.

* Modify the relcache to record the temp status of both local and nonlocalTom Lane2009-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | temp relations; this is no more expensive than before, now that we have pg_class.relistemp. Insert tests into bufmgr.c to prevent attempting to fetch pages from nonlocal temp relations. This provides a low-level defense against bugs-of-omission allowing temp pages to be loaded into shared buffers, as in the contrib/pgstattuple problem reported by Stuart Bishop. While at it, tweak a bunch of places to use new relcache tests (instead of expensive probes into pg_namespace) to detect local or nonlocal temp tables.
* Add a "relistemp" boolean column to pg_class, which is true for temporaryTom Lane2009-03-31
| | | | | | | relations (including a temp table's indexes and toast table/index), and false for normal relations. For ease of checking, this commit just adds the column and fills it correctly --- revising the relation access machinery to use it will come separately.
* Fix a rare race condition when commit_siblings > 0 and a transaction commitsHeikki Linnakangas2009-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | at the same instant as a new backend is spawned. Since CountActiveBackends() doesn't hold ProcArrayLock, it needs to be prepared for the case that a pointer at the end of the proc array is still NULL even though numProcs says it should be valid, since it doesn't hold ProcArrayLock. Backpatch to 8.1. 8.0 and earlier had this right, but it was broken in the split of PGPROC and sinval shared memory arrays. Per report and proposal by Marko Kreen.
* Fix window function plan generation to cope with volatile sort expressions.Tom Lane2009-03-30
| | | | | (Not clear how useful these really are, but failing is no good...) Per report from David Fetter and Robert Treat.
* Fix an oversight in the support for storing/retrieving "minimal tuples" inTom Lane2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions. Fix by allowing a slot to contain both formats simultaneously; which turns out not to complicate the logic much at all, if anything it seems less contorted than before. Back-patch to 8.2, where minimal tuples were introduced.
* Add an errdetail explaining why we reject infinite dates and timestampsTom Lane2009-03-27
| | | | while converting to XML. Bernd Helmle
* Fix possible failures when a tuplestore switches from in-memory to on-diskTom Lane2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | mode while callers hold pointers to in-memory tuples. I reported this for the case of nodeWindowAgg's primary scan tuple, but inspection of the code shows that all of the calls in nodeWindowAgg and nodeCtescan are at risk. For the moment, fix it with a rather brute-force approach of copying whenever one of the at-risk callers requests a tuple. Later we might think of some sort of reference-count approach to reduce tuple copying.
* Teach reindex_index() to clear pg_index.indcheckxmin when possible.Tom Lane2009-03-27
| | | | Greg Stark, slightly modified by me.
* Gettext plural supportPeter Eisentraut2009-03-26
| | | | | | In the backend, I changed only a handful of exemplary or important-looking instances to make use of the plural support; there is probably more work there. For the rest of the source, this should cover all relevant cases.
