* I've created a new shared catalog table pg_shdescription to storeBruce Momjian2006-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | comments on cluster global objects like databases, tablespaces, and roles. It touches a lot of places, but not much in the way of big changes. The only design decision I made was to duplicate the query and manipulation functions rather than to try and have them handle both shared and local comments. I believe this is simpler for the code and not an issue for callers because they know what type of object they are dealing with. This has resulted in a shobj_description function analagous to obj_description and backend functions [Create/Delete]SharedComments mirroring the existing [Create/Delete]Comments functions. pg_shdescription.h goes into src/include/catalog/ Kris Jurka
* Fix the assert_enabled issue properly. This eliminates the former ABITom Lane2006-01-08

* First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane2005-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes; but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a good place to commit. Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be 'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.
* Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon2004-12-31
| | | | | | | | Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...

| | | | | | | tuptoaster.c --- fields that are compressed in-line are not a reason to invoke the toaster. Along the way, add a couple more htup.h macros to eliminate confusing negated tests, and get rid of the already vestigial TUPLE_TOASTER_ACTIVE symbol.

* Make 'dummy' declarations in header files be 'extern int no_such_variable'Tom Lane2002-10-18

* Clean up comments to be careful about the distinction between variable-Tom Lane2002-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | width types and varlena types, since with the introduction of CSTRING as a more-or-less-real type, these concepts aren't identical. I've tried to use varlena consistently to denote datatypes with typlen = -1, ie, they have a length word and are potentially TOASTable; while the term variable width covers both varlena and cstring (and, perhaps, someday other types with other rules for computing the actual width). No code changes in this commit except for renaming a couple macros.
* This patch removes a lot of unused code related to assertions andBruce Momjian2002-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | error handling, and simplifies the code that remains. Apparently, the code that left Berkeley had a whole "error handling subsystem", which exceptions and whatnot. Since we don't use that anymore, there's no reason to keep it around. The regression tests pass with the patch applied. Unless anyone sees a problem, please apply. Neil Conway

* Support toasting of shared system relations, and provide toast tables forTom Lane2002-04-27
| | | | | | | | | pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long fields. Along the way, get rid of SharedSystemRelationNames list: shared rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.

* Make OIDs optional, per discussions in pghackers. WITH OIDS is still theTom Lane2001-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them. Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now; pg_description has a three-column key instead of one. Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and triggers in a valid order. initdb forced.
* Clean up various to-do items associated with system indexes:Tom Lane2001-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname. pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid. pg_am now has unique index on oid. pg_opclass now has unique index on oid. pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum. Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache. Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons (caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is rather pointless). Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on adrelid+adnum. Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not. IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared during initial creation of tables and indexes. In theory we might now support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases. Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have the same OID. (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's actually used to do lookups ;-)) There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap relations. Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired entries in pg_class and friends. Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki, since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless. Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared system relations. Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do). Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.

* Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: thereTom Lane2001-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand. Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

* First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/READMETom Lane2000-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long- standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single query string crashing. Also, out-of-memory is now considered a recoverable ERROR, not FATAL. Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around memory management. Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and backend startup.

* First round of changes for new fmgr interface. fmgr itself and theTom Lane2000-05-28
| | | | | | | key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle. An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions). NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

* Make it possible to execute crashed CREATE/DROP commands again.Hiroshi Inoue1999-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | Now indexes of pg_class and pg_type are unique indexes and guarantee the uniqueness of correponding attributes. heap_create() was changed to take another boolean parameter which allows to postpone the creation of disk file. The name of rd_nonameunlinked was changed to rd_unlinked. It is used generally(not only for noname relations) now. Requires initdb.
* Standardize on MAXPGPATH as the size of a file pathname buffer,Tom Lane1999-10-25
| | | | | | | eliminating some wildly inconsistent coding in various parts of the system. I set MAXPGPATH = 1024 in config.h.in. If anyone is really convinced that there ought to be a configure-time test to set the value, go right ahead ... but I think it's a waste of time.
* Look Ma, no MAX_PARSE_BUFFER! (At least not in the backend.Tom Lane1999-10-23
