* Clean up the INET-vs-CIDR situation. Get rid of the internal is_cidr flagTom Lane2006-01-26
| | | | | | | | and rely exclusively on the SQL type system to tell the difference between the types. Prevent creation of invalid CIDR values via casting from INET or set_masklen() --- both of these operations now silently zero any bits to the right of the netmask. Remove duplicate CIDR comparison operators, letting the type rely on the INET operators instead.
* Remove the no-longer-useful HashItem/HashItemData level of structure.Tom Lane2006-01-25
| | | | Same motivation as for BTItem.
* Remove the no-longer-useful BTItem/BTItemData level of structure, andTom Lane2006-01-25
| | | | | | | just refer to btree index entries as plain IndexTuples, which is what they have been for a very long time. This is mostly just an exercise in removing extraneous notation, but it does save a palloc/pfree cycle per index insertion.
* Remove unnecessary PQconsumeInput call from PQputCopyData; it's redundantTom Lane2006-01-25
| | | | | | | because pqSendSome will absorb input data anytime it'd be forced to block. Avoiding a kernel call per PQputCopyData call helps COPY speed materially. Alon Goldshuv
* Allow row comparisons to be used as indexscan qualifications.Tom Lane2006-01-25

* - Synced parser and keyword list.Michael Meskes2006-01-24
| | | | - Added another test case.
* Instead of using a numberOfRequiredKeys count to distinguish requiredTom Lane2006-01-23
| | | | | | | | | and non-required keys in a btree index scan, mark the required scankeys with private flag bits SK_BT_REQFWD and/or SK_BT_REQBKWD. This seems at least marginally clearer to me, and it eliminates a wired-into-the- data-structure assumption that required keys are consecutive. Even though that assumption will remain true for the foreseeable future, having it in there makes the code seem more complex than necessary.

* Fix alias-for-target-table-of-UPDATE-or-DELETE patch so that alias canTom Lane2006-01-22

* Allow an optional alias for the target table to be specified for UPDATENeil Conway2006-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | and DELETE. If specified, the alias must be used instead of the full table name. Also, the alias currently cannot be used in the SET clause of UPDATE. Patch from Atsushi Ogawa, various editorialization by Neil Conway. Along the way, make the rowtypes regression test pass if add_missing_from is enabled, and add a new (skeletal) regression test for DELETE.
* Repair longstanding bug in slru/clog logic: it is possible for two backendsTom Lane2006-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | to try to create a log segment file concurrently, but the code erroneously specified O_EXCL to open(), resulting in a needless failure. Before 7.4, it was even a PANIC condition :-(. Correct code is actually simpler than what we had, because we can just say O_CREAT to start with and not need a second open() call. I believe this accounts for several recent reports of hard-to-reproduce "could not create file ...: File exists" errors in both pg_clog and pg_subtrans.
* Add GRANT ON SEQUENCE syntax to support sequence-only permissions.Bruce Momjian2006-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Continue to support GRANT ON [TABLE] for sequences for backward compatibility; issue warning for invalid sequence permissions. [Backward compatibility warning message.] Add USAGE permission for sequences that allows only currval() and nextval(), not setval(). Mention object name in grant/revoke warnings because of possible multi-object operations.

| | | | | | temp table not only our own process' tables. It's not real important since vacuum.c will skip temp tables anyway, but might as well make the code do what it claims to do.

* Avoid crashing if relcache flush occurs while trying to load data into anTom Lane2006-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | index's support-function cache (in index_getprocinfo). Since none of that data can change for an index that's in active use, it seems sufficient to treat all open indexes the same way we were treating "nailed" system indexes --- that is, just re-read the pg_class row and leave the rest of the relcache entry strictly alone. The pg_class re-read might not be strictly necessary either, but since the reltablespace and relfilenode can change in normal operation it seems safest to do it. (We don't support changing any of the other info about an index at all, at the moment.) Back-patch as far as 8.0. It might be possible to adapt the patch to 7.4, but it would take more work than I care to expend for such a low-probability problem. 7.3 is out of luck for sure.
* Fix pgxs -L library path specification for Win32 and Cygwin, was /bin,Bruce Momjian2006-01-19

* It turns out that TablespaceCreateDbspace fails badly if a relcache flushTom Lane2006-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | occurs when it tries to heap_open pg_tablespace. When control returns to smgrcreate, that routine will be holding a dangling pointer to a closed SMgrRelation, resulting in mayhem. This is of course a consequence of the violation of proper module layering inherent in having smgr.c call a tablespace command routine, but the simplest fix seems to be to change the locking mechanism. There's no real need for TablespaceCreateDbspace to touch pg_tablespace at all --- it's only opening it as a way of locking against a parallel DROP TABLESPACE command. A much better answer is to create a special-purpose LWLock to interlock these two operations. This drops TablespaceCreateDbspace quite a few layers down the food chain and makes it something reasonably safe for smgr to call.
* Fix a tiny memory leak (one List header) in RelationCacheInvalidate().Tom Lane2006-01-19
| | | | | | | This is utterly insignificant in normal operation, but it becomes a problem during cache inval stress testing. The original coding in fact had no leak --- the 8.0 List rewrite created the issue. I wonder whether list_concat should pfree the discarded header?
* Modify pgstats code to reduce performance penalties from oversized stats dataTom Lane2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | files: avoid creating stats hashtable entries for tables that aren't being touched except by vacuum/analyze, ensure that entries for dropped tables are removed promptly, and tweak the data layout to avoid storing useless struct padding. Also improve the performance of pgstat_vacuum_tabstat(), and make sure that autovacuum invokes it exactly once per autovac cycle rather than multiple times or not at all. This should cure recent complaints about 8.1 showing much higher stats I/O volume than was seen in 8.0. It'd still be a good idea to revisit the design with an eye to not re-writing the entire stats dataset every half second ... but that would be too much to backpatch, I fear.
* Add a new system view, pg_cursors, that displays the currently availableNeil Conway2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cursors. Patch from Joachim Wieland, review and ediorialization by Neil Conway. The view lists cursors defined by DECLARE CURSOR, using SPI, or via the Bind message of the frontend/backend protocol. This means the view does not list the unnamed portal or the portal created to implement EXECUTE. Because we do list SPI portals, there might be more rows in this view than you might expect if you are using SPI implicitly (e.g. via a procedural language). Per recent discussion on -hackers, the query string included in the view for cursors defined by DECLARE CURSOR is based on debug_query_string. That means it is not accurate if multiple queries separated by semicolons are submitted as one query string. However, there doesn't seem a trivial fix for that: debug_query_string is better than nothing. I also changed SPI_cursor_open() to include the source text for the portal it creates: AFAICS there is no reason not to do this. Update the documentation and regression tests, bump the catversion.
* Fix fsync code to test whether F_FULLFSYNC is available, instead ofTom Lane2006-01-17
| | | | assuming it always is on Darwin. Per report from Neil Brandt.
* Data transferred binary is now put into the variables verbatim.Michael Meskes2006-01-17
| | | | Also added a test case for a binary cursor.
* Improve comments about btree's use of ScanKey data structures: thereTom Lane2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | are two basically different kinds of scankeys, and we ought to try harder to indicate which is used in each place in the code. I've chosen the names "search scankey" and "insertion scankey", though you could make about as good an argument for "operator scankey" and "comparison function scankey".
* Change the parameter_types column of the pg_prepared_statements to beNeil Conway2006-01-16
| | | | | | | | an array of regtype, rather than an array of OIDs. This is likely to be more useful to user, and the type OID can easily be obtained by casting a regtype value to OID. Per suggestion from Tom. Update the documentation and regression tests, and bump the catversion.
* When using GCC on AMD64 and PPC, ECPGget_variable() takes a va_list *, notNeil Conway2006-01-15
| | | | | | a va_list. Christof Petig's previous patch made this change, but neglected to update ecpglib/descriptor.c, resulting in a compiler warning (and a likely runtime crash) on AMD64 and PPC.
* Add regression tests to verify that domain constraints on parametersNeil Conway2006-01-15
| | | | | to prepared statements with unknown type are correctly enforced, per recent bug report.
* Allow the types of parameters to PREPARE to be inferred. If a parameter'sNeil Conway2006-01-15
| | | | | | data type is unspecified or is declared to be "unknown", the type will be inferred from the context in which the parameter is used. This was already possible for protocol-level prepared statements.
* Some minor code cleanup, falling out from the removal of rtree. SK_NEGATETom Lane2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | isn't being used anywhere anymore, and there seems no point in a generic index_keytest() routine when two out of three remaining access methods aren't using it. Also, add a comment documenting a convention for letting access methods define private flag bits in ScanKey sk_flags. There are no such flags at the moment but I'm thinking about changing btree's handling of "required keys" to use flag bits in the keys rather than a count of required key positions. Also, if some AM did still want SK_NEGATE then it would be reasonable to treat it as a private flag bit.

* Remove logic in XactLockTableWait() that attempted to mark a crashedTom Lane2006-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | transaction as aborted. Since we only call XactLockTableWait on XIDs that we believe to be currently running, the odds of this code ever actually firing are minimal. It's certainly unnecessary, since a transaction that's not either running or committed will be presumed aborted anyway. What's more, it's not hard to imagine scenarios where this could result in corrupting pg_clog: for instance, if a bogus XID somehow got passed to XactLockTableWait. I think the code probably dates from the ancient era when we didn't have TransactionIdIsInProgress; back then it may have been necessary, but now I think it's a waste of cycles and potentially dangerous. Per discussion with Qingqing Zhou and Karsten Hilbert.
* Document that CREATE OPERATOR CLASS amounts to granting public executeTom Lane2006-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | permissions on the functions and operators contained in the opclass. Since we already require superuser privilege to create an operator class, there's no expansion-of-privilege hazard here, but if someone were to get the idea of building an opclass containing functions that need security restrictions, we'd better warn them off. Also, change the permission checks from have-execute-privilege to have-ownership, and then comment them all out since they're dead code anyway under the superuser restriction.
* Require the issuer of CREATE TYPE to own the functions mentioned in theTom Lane2006-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | type definition. Because use of a type's I/O conversion functions isn't access-checked, CREATE TYPE amounts to granting public execute permissions on the functions, and so allowing it to anybody means that someone could theoretically gain access to a function he's not supposed to be able to execute. The parameter-type restrictions already enforced by CREATE TYPE make it fairly unlikely that this oversight is meaningful in practice, but still it seems like a good idea to plug the hole going forward. Also, document the implicit grant just in case anybody gets the idea of building I/O functions that might need security restrictions.

* mbutils was previously doing some allocations, including invokingNeil Conway2006-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | fmgr_info(), in the TopMemoryContext. I couldn't see that the code actually leaked, but in general I think it's fragile to assume that pfree'ing an FmgrInfo along with its fn_extra field is enough to reclaim all the resources allocated by fmgr_info(). I changed the code to do its allocations in a new child context of TopMemoryContext, MbProcContext. When we want to release the allocations we can just reset the context, which is cleaner.
* Repair "Halloween problem" in EvalPlanQual: a tuple that's been inserted byTom Lane2006-01-12
| | | | | | | | our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
