* Fix performance issue in exprTypmod(): for a COALESCE expression, itTom Lane2005-11-18
| | | | | | recursed twice on its first argument, leading to exponential time spent on a deep nest of COALESCEs ... such as a deeply nested FULL JOIN would produce. Per report from Matt Carter.

* Make SQL arrays support null elements. This commit fixes the core arrayTom Lane2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they are null-safe. Contrib needs work too. I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.
* DropRelFileNodeBuffers failed to fix the state of the lookup hash tableTom Lane2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | that was added to localbuf.c in 8.1; therefore, applying it to a temp table left corrupt lookup state in memory. The only case where this had a significant chance of causing problems was an ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS temp table; the other possible paths left bogus state that was unlikely to be used again. Per report from Csaba Nagy.
* make_restrictinfo() failed to attach the specified required_relids toTom Lane2005-11-16
| | | | | its result when the clause was an OR clause. Brain fade exposed by example from Sebastian BÎck.
* Restore the former RestrictInfo field valid_everywhere (but invert the flagTom Lane2005-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | sense and rename to "outerjoin_delayed" to more clearly reflect what it means). I had decided that it was redundant in 8.1, but the folly of this is exposed by a bug report from Sebastian Böck. The place where it's needed is to prevent orindxpath.c from cherry-picking arms of an outer-join OR clause to form a relation restriction that isn't actually legal to push down to the relation scan level. There may be some legal cases that this forbids optimizing, but we'd need much closer analysis to determine it.

* Prevent ExecInsert() and ExecUpdate() from scribbling on the result tupleTom Lane2005-11-14
| | | | | | | slot of the topmost plan node when a trigger returns a modified tuple. These appear to be the only places where a plan node's caller did not treat the result slot as read-only, which is an assumption that nodeUnique makes as of 8.1. Fixes trigger-vs-DISTINCT bug reported by Frank van Vugt.
* Force the second argument of SUBSTRING(foo FOR bar) to be int4, to avoidTom Lane2005-11-13
| | | | | | | surprising results when it's some other numeric type. This doesn't solve the generic problem of surprising implicit casts to text, but it's a low-impact way of making sure this particular case behaves sanely. Per gripe from Harald Fuchs and subsequent discussion.
* add missing quote mark to ident_file sample line - per Hiroshi SaitoAndrew Dunstan2005-11-10

* When in transaction-aborted state, reject Bind message for portals containingTom Lane2005-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | anything but transaction-exiting commands (ROLLBACK etc). We already rejected Parse and Execute in such cases, so there seems little point in allowing Bind. This prevents at least an Assert failure, and probably worse things, since there's a lot of infrastructure that doesn't work when not in a live transaction. We can also simplify the Bind logic a bit by rejecting messages with a nonzero number of parameters, instead of the former kluge to silently substitute NULL for each parameter. Per bug #2033 from Joel Stevenson.

* Add defenses to btree and hash index AMs to do simple sanity checksTom Lane2005-11-06
| | | | | | | | | on every index page they read; in particular to catch the case of an all-zero page, which PageHeaderIsValid allows to pass. It turns out hash already had this idea, but it was just Assert()ing things rather than doing a straight error check, and the Asserts were partially redundant with PageHeaderIsValid anyway. Per recent failure example from Jim Nasby. (gist still needs the same treatment.)
* Clean up representation of SLRU page state. This is the cleaner fixTom Lane2005-11-05
| | | | | for the SLRU race condition that I posted a few days ago, but we decided not to use in 8.1 and older branches.
* Repair an error introduced by log_line_prefix patch: it is not acceptableTom Lane2005-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | to assume that the string pointer passed to set_ps_display is good forever. There's no need to anyway since ps_status.c itself saves the string, and we already had an API (get_ps_display) to return it. I believe this explains Jim Nasby's report of intermittent crashes in elog.c when %i format code is in use in log_line_prefix. While at it, repair a previously unnoticed problem: on some platforms such as Darwin, the string returned by get_ps_display was blank-padded to the maximum length, meaning that lock.c's attempt to append " waiting" to it never worked.

* Disregard superuserness when checking to see if a role GRANT wouldTom Lane2005-11-04
| | | | | | | | | create circularity of role memberships. This is a minimum-impact fix for the problem reported by Florian Pflug. I thought about removing the superuser_arg test from is_member_of_role() altogether, as it seems redundant for many of the callers --- but not all, and it's way too late in the 8.1 cycle to be making large changes. Perhaps reconsider this later.

* Thinking further, it seems we had better also copy down resorigtbl/resorigcolTom Lane2005-11-03
| | | | | to ensure that SubqueryScan elimination doesn't change the behavior of reporting of original column sources.
* Fix the recently-added code that eliminates unnecessary SubqueryScan nodesTom Lane2005-11-03
| | | | | | | from a finished plan tree. We have to copy the output column names (resname fields) from the SubqueryScan down to its child plan node; else, if this is the topmost level of the plan, the wrong column names will be delivered to the client. Per bug #2017 reported by Jolly Chen.
* Rename the members of CommandDest enum so they don't collide with other uses ofAlvaro Herrera2005-11-03
| | | | | those names. (Debug and None were pretty bad names anyway.) I hope I catched all uses of the names in comments too.
* Fix longstanding race condition in transaction log management: there was aTom Lane2005-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | very narrow window in which SimpleLruReadPage or SimpleLruWritePage could think that I/O was needed when it wasn't (and indeed the buffer had already been assigned to another page). This would result in an Assert failure if Asserts were enabled, and probably in silent data corruption if not. Reported independently by Jim Nasby and Robert Creager. I intend a more extensive fix when 8.2 development starts, but this is a reasonably low-impact patch for the existing branches.

* Reorder code so that we don't have to hold a critical section whileTom Lane2005-10-28
| | | | | reserving SLRU space for a new MultiXact. The original coding would have treated out-of-disk-space as a PANIC condition, which is unnecessary.
* Fix race condition in multixact code: it's possible to try to read aTom Lane2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | multixact's starting offset before the offset has been stored into the SLRU file. A simple fix would be to hold the MultiXactGenLock until the offset has been stored, but that looks like a big concurrency hit. Instead rely on knowledge that unset offsets will be zero, and loop when we see a zero. This requires a little extra hacking to ensure that zero is never a valid value for the offset. Problem reported by Matteo Beccati, fix ideas from Martijn van Oosterhout, Alvaro Herrera, and Tom Lane.
* Add an ifneq to avoid make warning on AIX --- there is a separate ruleTom Lane2005-10-27
| | | | | for postgres: on line 86, and line 43 shouldn't be used. Noted while looking at kookaburra buildfarm results.
* Tweak buffer manager so that 'internal' accesses to a buffer do notTom Lane2005-10-27
| | | | | | | | advance its usage_count. This includes writes of dirty buffers triggered by bgwriter, checkpoint, or FlushRelationBuffers, as well as various corner cases that really ought not count as accesses to the page. Should make for some marginal improvement in the quality of our decisions about when to recycle buffers. Per suggestion from ITAGAKI Takahiro.
* Add comment documenting actual failure case of usingBruce Momjian2005-10-27

* Adjust parser so that POSTQUEL-style implicit RTEs are stored withTom Lane2005-10-26
| | | | | | inFromCl true, meaning that they will list out as explicit RTEs if they are in a view or rule. Update comments about inFromCl to reflect the way it's now actually used. Per recent discussion.
* Fix longstanding bug that would sometimes let the planner generate a bad planTom Lane2005-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | for an outer join; symptom is bogus error "RIGHT JOIN is only supported with merge-joinable join conditions". Problem was that select_mergejoin_clauses did its tests in the wrong order. We need to force left join not right join for a merge join when there are non-mergeable join clauses; but the test for this only accounted for mergejoinability of the clause operator, and not whether the left and right Vars were of the proper relations. Per report from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.
* Remove justify_hours call from interval_mul and interval_div, and makeTom Lane2005-10-25
| | | | | | | some small stylistic improvements in these functions. Also fix several places where TMODULO() was being used with wrong-sized quotient argument, creating a risk of overflow --- interval2tm was actually capable of going into an infinite loop because of this.
* Fix Windows setitimer() emulation to not depend on delivering an APCTom Lane2005-10-25
| | | | | | to the main thread. This allows removal of WaitForSingleObjectEx() calls from the main thread, thereby allowing us to re-enable Qingqing Zhou's CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS performance improvement. Qingqing, Magnus, et al.

* Improve performance of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() macro on Windows by not doingTom Lane2005-10-21
| | | | | | | a kernel call unless there's some evidence of a pending signal. This should bring its performance on Windows into line with the Unix version. Problem diagnosis and patch by Qingqing Zhou. Minor stylistic tweaks by moi ... if it's broken, it's my fault.
* Fix EXPLAIN ANALYZE bug noted by Wiebe Cazemier: although we wereTom Lane2005-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | properly advancing the CommandCounter between multiple sub-queries generated by rules, we forgot to update the snapshot being used, so that the successive sub-queries didn't actually see each others' results. This is still not *exactly* like the semantics of normal execution of the same queries, in that we don't take new transaction snapshots and hence don't see changes from concurrently committed commands, but I think that's OK and probably even preferable for EXPLAIN ANALYZE.
* Postpone pg_timezone_initialize() until after creation of postmaster.pid,Tom Lane2005-10-20
| | | | | | | since it can take a fair amount of time and this can confuse boot scripts that expect postmaster.pid to appear quickly. Move initialization of SSL library and preloaded libraries to after that point, too, just for luck. Per reports from Tony Caduto and others.

| | | | Per gripe from Chris Matheson.
* Clean up md5.c to make it clearer that it is a frontend-and-backendTom Lane2005-10-20
| | | | | | | module. Don't rely on backend palloc semantics; in fact, best to not use palloc at all, rather than #define'ing it to malloc, because that just encourages errors of omission. Bug spotted by Volkan YAZICI, but I went further than he did to fix it.
