* Label CVS tip as 8.0devel instead of 7.5devel. Adjust various commentsTom Lane2004-08-04
| | | | and documentation to reference 8.0 instead of 7.5.
* Add LOG_NOWAIT flag to openlog() call, per my note of 2004-06-24.Tom Lane2004-08-04

* Fix silly thinko in ALTER COLUMN TYPE. Check for finding expectedTom Lane2004-08-04
| | | | | | | dependency was looking at wrong columns and so would always fail. Was not exposed by regression tests because we are only testing cases involving built-in (pinned) types and so no actual dependency entry exists to be removed.
* Tweak postmaster code to avoid double reporting when bgwriter crashes.Tom Lane2004-08-04
|
* record_out and friends need to cope with dropped columns in the rowTom Lane2004-08-04
| | | | datatype. Per example from Gaetano Mendola, 2004-07-25.
* Make use of backup label/history files to control recovery properly.Tom Lane2004-08-04
|
* Fix typo in comment.Tom Lane2004-08-04
|
* Add some strings for translation and remove some cut'n'pasteDennis Bjorklund2004-08-04
| | | | that makes it impossible to translate to other languages.
* Add functions pg_start_backup, pg_stop_backup to create backup labelTom Lane2004-08-03
| | | | | | | | | and history files as per recent discussion. While at it, remove pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates. Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into 'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions', which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.
* Fix misplacement of savepointLevel test, per report from Chris K-L.Tom Lane2004-08-03

* Translation updatePeter Eisentraut2004-08-03

* Fix not-quite-right Assertion. Did not work at all in extended-queryTom Lane2004-08-02
| | | | | | | mode (per complaint from Kris Jurka) and it was only by chance that it didn't fail in simple-query mode. A COMMIT or ROLLBACK has to be executed by a portal, therefore it's wrong to suppose that there aren't any live portals at CleanupTransaction time.
* While perusing SQL92 I realized that we are delivering the wrong SQLSTATETom Lane2004-08-02
| | | | | | | error code for string-too-long errors. It should be STRING_DATA_RIGHT_TRUNCATION not STRING_DATA_LENGTH_MISMATCH. The latter probably should only be applied to cases where a string must be exactly so many bits --- there are no cases at all where it applies to character strings, only bit strings.
* Translation updatePeter Eisentraut2004-08-02

* Mark savepoints as supported.Bruce Momjian2004-08-02

* Support USING INDEX TABLESPACE clause for PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUETom Lane2004-08-02
| | | | constraints. Christopher Kings-Lynne.
* Allow DECLARE CURSOR to take parameters from the portal in which it isTom Lane2004-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | executed. Previously, the DECLARE would succeed but subsequent FETCHes would fail since the parameter values supplied to DECLARE were not propagated to the portal created for the cursor. In support of this, add type Oids to ParamListInfo entries, which seems like a good idea anyway since code that extracts a value can double-check that it got the type of value it was expecting. Oliver Jowett, with minor editorialization by Tom Lane.
* Update the in-code documentation about the transaction system. Move itTom Lane2004-08-01
| | | | | into a README file instead of being in xact.c's header comment. Alvaro Herrera.
* Cause ALTER OWNER commands to update the object's ACL, replacing referencesTom Lane2004-08-01
| | | | | | to the old owner with the new owner. This is not necessarily right, but it's sure a lot more likely to be what the user wants than doing nothing. Christopher Kings-Lynne, some rework by Tom Lane.
* Add libpgport to postgres.def for Windows build. Per Magnus Hagander.Tom Lane2004-08-01
|
* Error message style adjustments, per Alvaro Herrera.Tom Lane2004-08-01
|
* Some mop-up work for savepoints (nested transactions). Store a smallTom Lane2004-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry, and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during TransactionIdIsInProgress. Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on modules to get control at subxact start/end. (This is deliberately not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably need manual review anyway.) Add basic reference documentation for SAVEPOINT and related commands. Minor other cleanups to check off some of the open issues for subtransactions. Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.

* Be more consistent about reporting SPI errors in the various PLs.Tom Lane2004-07-31
| | | | | | Create a shared function to convert a SPI error code into a string (replacing near-duplicate code in several PLs), and use it anywhere that a SPI function call error is reported.
* For EXEC_BACKEND case, BootstrapMain needs to recompute paths, same asTom Lane2004-07-31
| | | | PostgresMain. Per Magnus Hagander.
* plpgsql does exceptions.Tom Lane2004-07-31
| | | | | | There are still some things that need refinement; in particular I fear that the recognized set of error condition names probably has little in common with what Oracle recognizes. But it's a start.
* Restructure error handling as recently discussed. It is now reallyTom Lane2004-07-31
| | | | | | possible to trap an error inside a function rather than letting it propagate out to PostgresMain. You still have to use AbortCurrentTransaction to clean up, but at least the error handling itself will cooperate.
* Revert ill-conceived patch that made elog(FATAL) the same as elog(ERROR)Tom Lane2004-07-28
| | | | | | followed by seeing EOF from client. If we want a safe session-kill capability we will need to write one, not break our error handling mechanism.
* Fix subtransaction behavior for large objects, temp namespace, files,Tom Lane2004-07-28
| | | | | | | password/group files. Also allow read-only subtransactions of a read-write parent, but not vice versa. These are the reasonably noncontroversial parts of Alvaro's recent mop-up patch, plus further work on large objects to minimize use of the TopTransactionResourceOwner.
* Replace nested-BEGIN syntax for subtransactions with spec-compliantTom Lane2004-07-27
| | | | | | | SAVEPOINT/RELEASE/ROLLBACK-TO syntax. (Alvaro) Cause COMMIT of a failed transaction to report ROLLBACK instead of COMMIT in its command tag. (Tom) Fix a few loose ends in the nested-transactions stuff.
* Fix oversight: in case where SIGTERM is received while there areTom Lane2004-07-27
| | | | | | | | | live backends, the archiver and stats processes never got sent a kill signal. They'd eventually exit on their own, but not for awhile, which is a bit annoying when you are trying to replace the executable file on a platform that doesn't allow removal of busy executables. Also, tweak main loop logic so that we will perform the background tasks after select() returns EINTR.
* Add some more logging to simplify diagnosis of problems in IDENTTom Lane2004-07-26
| | | | authorization. Inspired by problem report from Ian Pilcher.
* Fix obsolete comment.Tom Lane2004-07-24
|
* log_destination should only be PGC_SIGHUP, not PGC_POSTMASTER, as perTom Lane2004-07-24
| | | | | discussion yesterday. Also a few improvements in the associated documentation.
* Add cross-check that current timeline of pg_control is an ancestor ofTom Lane2004-07-22
| | | | | | recovery_target_timeline --- otherwise there is no path from the backup to the requested timeline. This check was foreseen in the original discussion but I forgot to implement it.
* Add a check on file size as an additional safety check that a WAL fileTom Lane2004-07-22
| | | | | | | | | recovered from archive is not corrupt. It's not much but it will catch one common problem, viz out-of-disk-space. Also, force a WAL recovery scan when recovery.conf is present, even if pg_control shows a clean shutdown. This allows recovery with a tar backup that was taken with the postmaster shut down, as per complaint from Mark Kirkwood.
* Invent WAL timelines, as per recent discussion, to make point-in-timeTom Lane2004-07-21
| | | | | | | | recovery more manageable. Also, undo recent change to add FILE_HEADER and WASTED_SPACE records to XLOG; instead make the XLOG page header variable-size with extra fields in the first page of an XLOG file. This should fix the boundary-case bugs observed by Mark Kirkwood. initdb forced due to change of XLOG representation.
* The attached patch shows the new column "tablespace" in the mentionedBruce Momjian2004-07-21

* lease find enclosed a patch that matches the PL/Perl documentationBruce Momjian2004-07-21
| | | | | | (fairly closely, I hope) to the current PL/Perl implementation. David Fetter
* Fix unused variable when Assert() not used.Bruce Momjian2004-07-20

* Here is another patch that fixes a stack of pg_dump bugs:Bruce Momjian2004-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Fix help text ordering * Add back --set-session-authorization to pg_dumpall. Updated the docs for that. Updated help for that. * Dump ALTER USER commands for the cluster owner ("pgsql"). These are dumped AFTER the create user and create database commands in case the permissions to do these have been revoked. * Dump ALTER OWNER for public schema (because it's possible to change it). This was done by adding TOC entries for the public schema, and filtering them out at archiver time. I also save the owner in the TOC entry just for the public schema. * Suppress dumping single quotes around schema_path and DateStyle options when they are set using ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE. Added a comment to the steps in guc.c to remind people to update that list. * Fix dumping in --clean mode against a pre-7.3 server. It just sets all drop statements to assume the public schema, allowing it to restore without error. * Cleaned up text output. eg. Don't output -- Tablespaces comment if there are none. Same for groups and users. * Make the commands to DELETE FROM pg_shadow and DELETE FROM pg_group only be output when -c mode is enabled. I'm not sure why that hasn't been done before?!?! This should be good for application asap, after which I will start on regression dumping 7.0-7.4 databases. Christopher Kings-Lynne
* Install recovery.conf.sample into the /share install directory.Tom Lane2004-07-19

* Remove unportable use of strptime() to parse recovery target time spec.Tom Lane2004-07-19
| | | | Instead use our own abstimein code, which is more flexible anyway.
* XLOG file archiving and point-in-time recovery. There are still someTom Lane2004-07-19
| | | | | | loose ends and a glaring lack of documentation, but it basically works. Simon Riggs with some editorialization by Tom Lane.
* When renaming a column that participates in a foreign key, we mustTom Lane2004-07-17
| | | | | | force relcache rebuild for the other table as well as the column's own table. Otherwise, already-cached foreign key triggers will stop working. Per example from Alexander Pravking.
* Invent ResourceOwner mechanism as per my recent proposal, and use it toTom Lane2004-07-17
| | | | | | | | keep track of portal-related resources separately from transaction-related resources. This allows cursors to work in a somewhat sane fashion with nested transactions. For now, cursor behavior is non-subtransactional, that is a cursor's state does not roll back if you abort a subtransaction that fetched from the cursor. We might want to change that later.
* For a SQL function declared to return a named composite type, makeTom Lane2004-07-15
| | | | sure the tuple datums it returns actually show that type and not RECORD.
* Add has_tablespace_privilege().Bruce Momjian2004-07-12
