* Minor adjustments to make failures in startup/shutdown behave more cleanly.Tom Lane2006-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG no longer need to be critical sections, because in all contexts where they are invoked, elog(ERROR) would be translated to elog(FATAL) anyway. (One change in bgwriter.c is needed to make this true: set ExitOnAnyError before trying to exit. This is a good fix anyway since the existing code would have gone into an infinite loop on elog(ERROR) during shutdown.) That avoids a misleading report of PANIC during semi-orderly failures. Modify the postmaster to include the startup process in the set of processes that get SIGTERM when a fast shutdown is requested, and also fix it to not try to restart the bgwriter if the bgwriter fails while trying to write the shutdown checkpoint. Net result is that "pg_ctl stop -m fast" does something reasonable for a system in warm standby mode, and so should Unix system shutdown (ie, universal SIGTERM). Per gripe from Stephen Harris and some corner-case testing of my own.

* Mark to_char(timestamp without timezone) as stable, not immutable, since itsTom Lane2006-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | result now depends on the lc_messages setting, as noted by Bruce. Also, mark to_number() and the numeric-type variants of to_char() as stable, because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding oversight. Also, mark to_date() and to_char(interval) as stable; although these appear not to depend on any GUC variables as of CVS HEAD, that seems a property unlikely to survive future improvements. It seems best to mark all the formatting functions stable and be done with it. catversion not bumped, because this does not seem critical enough to force a post-RC1 initdb, and anyway we cannot do so in the back branches.

| | | | | | | | | (in particular, causing the ReadyForQuery message to be eaten) before returning from do_copy. The only known consequence of failing to do so is that get_prompt might show a wrong result for the %x transaction status escape, as reported by Bernd Helmle; but it's possible there are other issues. Back-patch as far as 7.4, the oldest version supporting %x.

This was deemed more usable as well as less likely to break existing application code. initdb forced accordingly. In passing, remove former kluge for initializing pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.

* Several changes to reduce the probability of running out of memory duringTom Lane2006-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AbortTransaction, which would lead to recursion and eventual PANIC exit as illustrated in recent report from Jeff Davis. First, in xact.c create a special dedicated memory context for AbortTransaction to run in. This solves the problem as long as AbortTransaction doesn't need more than 32K (or whatever other size we create the context with). But in corner cases it might. Second, in trigger.c arrange to keep pending after-trigger event records in separate contexts that can be freed near the beginning of AbortTransaction, rather than having them persist until CleanupTransaction as before. Third, in portalmem.c arrange to free executor state data earlier as well. These two changes should result in backing off the out-of-memory condition before AbortTransaction needs any significant amount of memory, at least in typical cases such as memory overrun due to too many trigger events or too big an executor hash table. And all the same for subtransaction abort too, of course.
* Get rid of retail definitions of HAVE_STRDUP and HAVE_VSNPRINTF inTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | some of the Windows-only makefiles; the correct place to assert these things is pg_config.h.win32. Per bug #2677.
* Translate Windows' GMT Standard Time/GMT Daylight Time zones toTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | zic's Europe/London, rather than Europe/Dublin as before. This seems a less surprising choice, particularly with respect to dates before 1948. Original suggestion was to translate to straight GMT, but this seems wrong given that these zones *are* DST-aware. Per offlist discussion with Magnus.
* Prevent intratransaction memory leak when a subtransaction is abortedTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | in the middle of executing a SPI query. This doesn't entirely fix the problem of memory leakage in plpgsql exception handling, but it should get rid of the lion's share of leakage.
* Suppress timezone (%Z) part of timestamp display when running on Windows,Tom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | because on that platform strftime produces localized zone names in varying encodings. Even though it's only in a comment, this can cause encoding errors when reloading the dump script. Per suggestion from Andreas Seltenreich. Also, suppress %Z on Windows in the %s escape of log_line_prefix ... not sure why this one is different from the other two, but it shouldn't be.
* Fix plpython to work (or at least pass its regression tests) withTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | python 2.5. This involves fixing several violations of the published spec for creating PyTypeObjects, and adding another regression test expected output for yet another variation of error message spelling.
* On systems that have setsid(2) (which should be just about everything exceptTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Windows), arrange for each postmaster child process to be its own process group leader, and deliver signals SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT to the whole process group not only the direct child process. This provides saner behavior for archive and recovery scripts; in particular, it's possible to shut down a warm-standby recovery server using "pg_ctl stop -m immediate", since delivery of SIGQUIT to the startup subprocess will result in killing the waiting recovery_command. Also, this makes Query Cancel and statement_timeout apply to scripts being run from backends via system(). (There is no support in the core backend for that, but it's widely done using untrusted PLs.) Per gripe from Stephen Harris and subsequent discussion.
* VC build patch from Magnus:Neil Conway2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | Typo in the changes to plperl - uses wrong dir, and had a missing slash. Also fixes error checking for xsubpp - it was broken in a way that hid the problem above when run more than once (which is the normal case when developing).

* If SSL negotiation fails and SSLMODE is 'prefer', then retry without SSL.Tom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | Negotiation failure is only likely to happen if one side or the other is misconfigured, eg. bad client certificate. I'm not 100% convinced that a retry is really the best thing, hence not back-patching this fix for now. Per gripe from Sergio Cinos.
* Change the default setting for log_min_error_statement to ERROR. PerTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | recent discussion in which majority opinion was that this is a more widely useful setting than the previous default of PANIC.
* Adjust elog.c so that elog(FATAL) exits (including cases where ERROR isTom Lane2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | promoted to FATAL) end in exit(1) not exit(0). Then change the postmaster to allow exit(1) without a system-wide panic, but not for the startup subprocess or the bgwriter. There were a couple of places that were using exit(1) to deliberately force a system-wide panic; adjust these to be exit(2) instead. This fixes the problem noted back in July that if the startup process exits with elog(ERROR), the postmaster would think everything is hunky-dory and proceed to start up. Alternative solutions such as trying to run the entire startup process as a critical section seem less clean, primarily because of the fact that a fair amount of startup code is shared by all postmaster children in the EXEC_BACKEND case. We'd need an ugly special case somewhere near the head of main.c to make it work if it's the child process's responsibility to determine what happens; and what's the point when the postmaster already treats different children differently?
* More MSVC build fixes:Tom Lane2006-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * New versions of OpenSSL come with proper debug versions, and use suffixed names on the LIBs for that.

* When truncating a relation in-place (eg during VACUUM), do not try to unlinkTom Lane2006-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | any no-longer-needed segments; just truncate them to zero bytes and leave the files in place for possible future re-use. This avoids problems when the segments are re-used due to relation growth shortly after truncation. Before, the bgwriter, and possibly other backends, could still be holding open file references to the old segment files, and would write dirty blocks into those files where they'd disappear from the view of other processes. Back-patch as far as 8.0. I believe the 7.x branches are not vulnerable, because they had no bgwriter, and "blind" writes by other backends would always be done via freshly-opened file references.
* Repair problems with hash indexes that span multiple segments: the hash code'sTom Lane2006-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | preference for filling pages out-of-order tends to confuse the sanity checks in md.c, as per report from Balazs Nagy in bug #2737. The fix is to ensure that the smgr-level code always has the same idea of the logical EOF as the hash index code does, by using ReadBuffer(P_NEW) where we are adding a single page to the end of the index, and using smgrextend() to reserve a large batch of pages when creating a new splitpoint. The patch is a bit ugly because it avoids making any changes in md.c, which seems the most prudent approach for a backpatchable beta-period fix. After 8.3 development opens, I'll take a look at a cleaner but more invasive patch, in particular getting rid of the now unnecessary hack to allow reading beyond EOF in mdread(). Backpatch as far as 7.4. The bug likely exists in 7.3 as well, but because of the magnitude of the 7.3-to-7.4 changes in hash, the later-version patch doesn't even begin to apply. Given the other known bugs in the 7.3-era hash code, it does not seem worth trying to develop a separate patch for 7.3.
* Repair two related errors in heap_lock_tuple: it was failing to recognizeTom Lane2006-11-17
| | | | | | | | | cases where we already hold the desired lock "indirectly", either via membership in a MultiXact or because the lock was originally taken by a different subtransaction of the current transaction. These cases must be accounted for to avoid needless deadlocks and/or inappropriate replacement of an exclusive lock with a shared lock. Per report from Clarence Gardner and subsequent investigation.
