* Do not access indclass through Form_pg_indexPeter Eisentraut2012-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, accessing variable-length members of catalog structures past the first one doesn't work at all. Here, it happened to work because indnatts was checked to be 1, and so the defined FormData_pg_index layout, using int2vector[1] and oidvector[1] for variable-length arrays, happened to match the actual memory layout. But it's a very fragile assumption, and it's not in a performance-critical path, so code it properly using heap_getattr() instead. bug analysis by Tom Lane

* pg_dump: Move connection-setup code to a separate function.Robert Haas2012-01-27
| | | | | | | | Parallel dump will need to repeat these steps for each new connection, so it's better to have this logic in its own function. Extracted (with some changes) from a much larger patch by Joachim Wieland.
* Adjust tuplesort.c based on the fact that we never use the OS's qsort().Robert Haas2012-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | Our own qsort_arg() implementation doesn't have the defect previously observed to affect only QNX 4, so it seems sufficiently to assert that it isn't broken rather than retesting. Also, update a few comments to clarify why it's valuable to retain a tie-break rule based on CTID during index builds. Peter Geoghegan, with slight tweaks by me.
* Be more clear when a new column name collides with a system column name.Robert Haas2012-01-26
| | | | | | | | | We now use the same error message for ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN or ALTER TABLE .. RENAME COLUMN that we do for CREATE TABLE. The old message was accurate, but might be confusing to users not aware of our system columns. Vik Reykja, with some changes by me, and further proofreading by Tom Lane
* Make bgwriter sleep longer when it has no work to do, to save electricity.Heikki Linnakangas2012-01-26
| | | | | | | | | To make it wake up promptly when activity starts again, backends nudge it by setting a latch in MarkBufferDirty(). The latch is kept set while bgwriter is active, so there is very little overhead from that when the system is busy. It is only armed before going into longer sleep. Peter Geoghegan, with some changes by me.

* Add deadlock counter to pg_stat_databaseMagnus Hagander2012-01-26
| | | | | | | Adds a counter that tracks number of deadlocks that occurred in each database to pg_stat_database. Magnus Hagander, reviewed by Jaime Casanova
* Classify DROP operations by whether or not they are user-initiated.Robert Haas2012-01-26
| | | | | | | This doesn't do anything useful just yet, but is intended as supporting infrastructure for allowing sepgsql to sensibly check DROP permissions. KaiGai Kohei and Robert Haas
* Track temporary file count and size in pg_stat_databaseMagnus Hagander2012-01-26
| | | | | | | | Add counters for number and size of temporary files used for spill-to-disk queries for each database to the pg_stat_database view. Tomas Vondra, review by Magnus Hagander
* Damage control for yesterday's CheckIndexCompatible changes.Robert Haas2012-01-26
| | | | | | Rip out a regression test that doesn't play well with settings put in place by the build farm, and rewrite the code in CheckIndexCompatible in a hopefully more transparent style.
* Instrument index-only scans to count heap fetches performed.Robert Haas2012-01-25

* Have \copy go through SendQueryAlvaro Herrera2012-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables a bunch of features, notably ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK. It also makes COPY failure (either in the server or psql) as a whole behave more sanely in psql. Additionally, having more commands in the same command line as COPY works better (though since psql splits lines at semicolons, this doesn't matter much unless you're using -c). Also tighten a couple of switches on PQresultStatus() to add PGRES_COPY_BOTH support and stop assuming that unknown statuses received are errors; have those print diagnostics where warranted. Author: Noah Misch
* Make CheckIndexCompatible simpler and more bullet-proof.Robert Haas2012-01-25
| | | | | | | | | This gives up the "don't rewrite the index" behavior in a couple of relatively unimportant cases, such as changing between an array type and an unconstrained domain over that array type, in return for making this code more future-proof. Noah Misch
* Allow pg_basebackup from standby node with safety checking.Simon Riggs2012-01-25
| | | | | | | Base backup follows recommended procedure, plus goes to great lengths to ensure that partial page writes are avoided. Jun Ishizuka and Fujii Masao, with minor modifications
* Add pg_trigger_depth() functionAlvaro Herrera2012-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | This reports the depth level of triggers currently in execution, or zero if not called from inside a trigger. No catversion bump in this patch, but you have to initdb if you want access to the new function. Author: Kevin Grittner
* Add new replication mode synchronous_commit = 'write'.Simon Riggs2012-01-24
| | | | | | | | | Replication occurs only to memory on standby, not to disk, so provides additional performance if user wishes to reduce durability level slightly. Adds concept of multiple independent sync rep queues. Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs

* Adjustments to regression tests for security_barrier views.Robert Haas2012-01-24
| | | | | | | | | Drop the role we create, so regression tests pass even when run more than once against the same cluster, a problem noted by Tom Lane and Jeff Janes. Also, rename the temporary role so that it starts with "regress_", to make it unlikely that we'll collide with an existing role name while running "make installcheck", per further gripe from Tom Lane.
* Resolve timing issue with logging locks for Hot Standby.Simon Riggs2012-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | We log AccessExclusiveLocks for replay onto standby nodes, but because of timing issues on ProcArray it is possible to log a lock that is still held by a just committed transaction that is very soon to be removed. To avoid any timing issue we avoid applying locks made by transactions with InvalidXid. Simon Riggs, bug report Tom Lane, diagnosis Pavan Deolasee

* Separate state from query string in pg_stat_activityMagnus Hagander2012-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This separates the state (running/idle/idleintransaction etc) into it's own field ("state"), and leaves the query field containing just query text. The query text will now mean "current query" when a query is running and "last query" in other states. Accordingly,the field has been renamed from current_query to query. Since backwards compatibility was broken anyway to make that, the procpid field has also been renamed to pid - along with the same field in pg_stat_replication for consistency. Scott Mead and Magnus Hagander, review work from Greg Smith
* Make pg_relation_size() and friends return NULL if the object doesn't exist.Heikki Linnakangas2012-01-19
| | | | | | | That avoids errors when the functions are used in queries like "SELECT pg_relation_size(oid) FROM pg_class", and a table is dropped concurrently. Phil Sorber
* Fix corner case in cleanup of transactions using SSI.Heikki Linnakangas2012-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the only remaining active transactions are READ ONLY, we do a "partial cleanup" of committed transactions because certain types of conflicts aren't possible anymore. For committed r/w transactions, we release the SIREAD locks but keep the SERIALIZABLEXACT. However, for committed r/o transactions, we can go further and release the SERIALIZABLEXACT too. The problem was with the latter case: we were returning the SERIALIZABLEXACT to the free list without removing it from the finished list. The only real change in the patch is the SHMQueueDelete line, but I also reworked some of the surrounding code to make it obvious that r/o and r/w transactions are handled differently -- the existing code felt a bit too clever. Dan Ports
* Show psql timing output for failed queries as well as successful onesMagnus Hagander2012-01-18

* Catch fatal flex errors in the GUC file lexer.Robert Haas2012-01-17

* Disallow merging ONLY constraints in children tablesAlvaro Herrera2012-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a child table, or when attaching an existing table as child of another, we must not allow inheritable constraints to be merged with non-inheritable ones, because then grandchildren would not properly get the constraint. This would violate the grandparent's expectations. Bugs noted by Robert Haas. Author: Nikhil Sontakke
* psql: Fix memory leakPeter Eisentraut2012-01-16
| | | | | | | | The command \password username leaked memory.
* Prevent adding relations to a concurrently dropped schema.Robert Haas2012-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, it was possible for a relation to be created via CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE SEQUENCE, CREATE FOREIGN TABLE, etc. in a schema while that schema was meanwhile being concurrently dropped. This led to a pg_class entry with an invalid relnamespace value. The same problem could occur if a relation was moved using ALTER .. SET SCHEMA while the target schema was being concurrently dropped. This patch prevents both of those scenarios by locking the schema to which the relation is being added using AccessShareLock, which conflicts with the AccessExclusiveLock taken by DROP. As a desirable side effect, this also prevents the use of CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW to queue for an AccessExclusiveLock on a relation on which you have no rights: that will now fail immediately with a permissions error, before trying to obtain a lock. We need similar protection for all other object types, but as everything other than relations uses a slightly different set of code paths, I'm leaving that for a separate commit. Original complaint (as far as I could find) about CREATE by Nikhil Sontakke; risk for ALTER .. SET SCHEMA pointed out by Tom Lane; further details by Dan Farina; patch by me; review by Hitoshi Harada.
* Improve efficiency of recent changes to plperl's sv2cstr().Andrew Dunstan2012-01-15

* Fix poll() implementation of WaitLatchOrSocket to notice postmaster death.Heikki Linnakangas2012-01-15
| | | | | | | When the remote end of the pipe is closed, select() reports the fd as readable, but poll() has a separate POLLHUP return code for that. Spotted by Peter Geoghegan.
* Allow a user to kill his own queries using pg_cancel_backend()Magnus Hagander2012-01-15
| | | | | | | | | Allows a user to use pg_cancel_queries() to cancel queries in other backends if they are running under the same role. pg_terminate_backend() still requires superuser permissoins. Short patch, many authors working on the bikeshed: Magnus Hagander, Josh Kupershmidt, Edward Muller, Greg Smith.
* Detect invalid permutations in isolationtesterAlvaro Herrera2012-01-14
| | | | | | | | isolationtester is now able to continue running other permutations when it detects that one of them is invalid, which is useful during initial development of spec files. Author: Alexander Shulgin

* Make superuser imply replication privilege. The idea of a privilege thatHeikki Linnakangas2012-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | superuser doesn't have doesn't make much sense, as a superuser can do whatever he wants through other means, anyway. So instead of granting replication privilege to superusers in CREATE USER time by default, allow replication connection from superusers whether or not they have the replication privilege. Patch by Noah Misch, per discussion on bug report #6264
* initdb: Remove support for crypt authentication methodPeter Eisentraut2012-01-14
| | | | | This was removed from the backend a long time ago, but initdb still thought that it was OK to use in the -A option.
* Fix broken logic in lazy_vacuum_heap.Robert Haas2012-01-13
| | | | | | | | As noted by Tom Lane, the previous coding in this area, which I introduced in commit bbb6e559c4ea0fb4c346beda76736451dc24eb4e, was poorly tested and caused the vacuum's second heap to go into what would have been an infinite loop but for the fact that it eventually caused a memory allocation failure. This version seems to work better.

* Correctly initialise shared recoveryLastRecPtr in recovery.Simon Riggs2012-01-13
| | | | | | | | Previously we used ReadRecPtr rather than EndRecPtr, which was not a serious error but caused pg_stat_replication to report incorrect replay_location until at least one WAL record is replayed. Fujii Masao
