* Refactor from Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>:Teodor Sigaev2007-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Defined new struct WordEntryPosVector that holds a uint16 length and a variable size array of WordEntries. This replaces the previous convention of a variable size uint16 array, with the first element implying the length. WordEntryPosVector has the same layout in memory, but is more readable in source code. The POSDATAPTR and POSDATALEN macros are still used, though it would now be more readable to access the fields in WordEntryPosVector directly. * Removed needfree field from DocRepresentation. It was always set to false. * Miscellaneous other commenting and refactoring
* Rename recently-added pg_stat_activity column from txn_start to xact_start,Tom Lane2007-09-11

* Arrange for SET LOCAL's effects to persist until the end of the current topTom Lane2007-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | transaction, unless rolled back or overridden by a SET clause for the same variable attached to a surrounding function call. Per discussion, these seem the best semantics. Note that this is an INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: in 8.0 through 8.2, SET LOCAL's effects disappeared at subtransaction commit (leading to behavior that made little sense at the SQL level). I took advantage of the opportunity to rewrite and simplify the GUC variable save/restore logic a little bit. The old idea of a "tentative" value is gone; it was a hangover from before we had a stack. Also, we no longer need a stack entry for every nesting level, but only for those in which a variable's value actually changed.

* Fix recently introduced bugs about parsing ispell/hunspell files.Teodor Sigaev2007-09-10
| | | | | | In most cases it cause because of unneeded lowercasing of flags. Per experiment with regression checks with ispell dictionary.
* Remove the vacuum_delay_point call in count_nondeletable_pages, because we holdAlvaro Herrera2007-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | an exclusive lock on the table at this point, which we want to release as soon as possible. This is called in the phase of lazy vacuum where we truncate the empty pages at the end of the table. An alternative solution would be to lower the vacuum delay settings before starting the truncating phase, but this doesn't work very well in autovacuum due to the autobalancing code (which can cause other processes to change our cost delay settings). This case could be considered in the balancing code, but it is simpler this way.
* Change void* opaque argument to Datum type, add argument'sTeodor Sigaev2007-09-10

* Fixes from Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>:Teodor Sigaev2007-09-10
| | | | | | | Apparently it's a bug I introduced when I refactored spell.c to use the readline function for reading and recoding the input file. I didn't notice that some calls to STRNCMP used the non-lowercased version of the input line.

* Set the correct context (PGC_SIGHUP) for log_autovacuum, per ITAGAKI Takahiro.Tom Lane2007-09-10

* Code review for GUC revert-values-if-removed-from-postgresql.conf patch;Tom Lane2007-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | and in passing, fix some bogosities dating from the custom_variable_classes patch. Fix guc-file.l to correctly check changes in custom_variable_classes that are attempted concurrently with additions/removals of custom variables, and don't allow the new setting to be applied in advance of checking it. Clean up messy and undocumented situation for string variables with NULL boot_val. Fix DefineCustomVariable functions to initialize boot_val correctly. Prevent find_option from inserting bogus placeholders for custom variables that are simply inquired about rather than being set.

* Provide for a file specifying non-standard config options for temp installAndrew Dunstan2007-09-09

* Replace the former method of determining snapshot xmax --- to wit, callingTom Lane2007-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ReadNewTransactionId from GetSnapshotData --- with a "latestCompletedXid" variable that is updated during transaction commit or abort. Since latestCompletedXid is written only in places that had to lock ProcArrayLock exclusively anyway, and is read only in places that had to lock ProcArrayLock shared anyway, it adds no new locking requirements to the system despite being cluster-wide. Moreover, removing ReadNewTransactionId from snapshot acquisition eliminates the need to take both XidGenLock and ProcArrayLock at the same time. Since XidGenLock is sometimes held across I/O this can be a significant win. Some preliminary benchmarking suggested that this patch has no effect on average throughput but can significantly improve the worst-case transaction times seen in pgbench. Concept by Florian Pflug, implementation by Tom Lane.
* Don't take ProcArrayLock while exiting a transaction that has no XID; there isTom Lane2007-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | no need for serialization against snapshot-taking because the xact doesn't affect anyone else's snapshot anyway. Per discussion. Also, move various info about the interlocking of transactions and snapshots out of code comments and into a hopefully-more-cohesive discussion in access/transam/README. Also, remove a couple of now-obsolete comments about having to force some WAL to be written to persuade RecordTransactionCommit to do its thing.
* Improve page split in rtree emulation. Now if splitted result hasTeodor Sigaev2007-09-07
| | | | | | | | | big misalignement, then it tries to split page basing on distribution of boxe's centers. Per report from Dolafi, Tom <dolafit@janelia.hhmi.org> Backpatch is needed, change doesn't affect on-disk storage.
* Improvements from Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>Teodor Sigaev2007-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - change the alignment requirement of lexemes in TSVector slightly. Lexeme strings were always padded to 2-byte aligned length to make sure that if there's position array (uint16[]) it has the right alignment. The patch changes that so that the padding is not done when there's no positions. That makes the storage of tsvectors without positions slightly more compact. - added some #include "miscadmin.h" lines I missed in the earlier when I added calls to check_stack_depth(). - Reimplement the send/recv functions, and added a comment above them describing the on-wire format. The CRC is now recalculated in tsquery as well per previous discussion.
* Improving various checks by Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com>Teodor Sigaev2007-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - add code to check that the query tree is well-formed. It was indeed possible to send malformed queries in binary mode, which produced all kinds of strange results. - make the left-field a uint32. There's no reason to arbitrarily limit it to 16-bits, and it won't increase the disk/memory footprint either now that QueryOperator and QueryOperand are separate structs. - add check_stack_depth() call to all recursive functions I found. Some of them might have a natural limit so that you can't force arbitrarily deep recursions, but check_stack_depth() is cheap enough that seems best to just stick it into anything that might be a problem.
* Refactoring by Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com> withTeodor Sigaev2007-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | small editorization by me - Brake the QueryItem struct into QueryOperator and QueryOperand. Type was really the only common field between them. QueryItem still exists, and is used in the TSQuery struct as before, but it's now a union of the two. Many other changes fell from that, like separation of pushval_asis function into pushValue, pushOperator and pushStop. - Moved some structs that were for internal use only from header files to the right .c-files. - Moved tsvector parser to a new tsvector_parser.c file. Parser code was about half of the size of tsvector.c, it's also used from tsquery.c, and it has some data structures of its own, so it seems better to separate it. Cleaned up the API so that TSVectorParserState is not accessed from outside tsvector_parser.c. - Separated enumerations (#defines, really) used for QueryItem.type field and as return codes from gettoken_query. It was just accidental code sharing. - Removed ParseQueryNode struct used internally by makepol and friends. push*-functions now construct QueryItems directly. - Changed int4 variables to just ints for variables like "i" or "array size", where the storage-size was not significant.

* Allow CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to disregard transactions in otherTom Lane2007-09-07
| | | | | databases, per gripe from hubert depesz lubaczewski. Patch from Simon Riggs.
* Make eval_const_expressions() preserve typmod when simplifying something likeTom Lane2007-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | null::char(3) to a simple Const node. (It already worked for non-null values, but not when we skipped evaluation of a strict coercion function.) This prevents loss of typmod knowledge in situations such as exhibited in bug #3598. Unfortunately there seems no good way to fix that bug in 8.1 and 8.2, because they simply don't carry a typmod for a plain Const node. In passing I made all the other callers of makeNullConst supply "real" typmod values too, though I think it probably doesn't matter anywhere else.
* Volatile-qualify the ProcArray PGPROC pointer in a bunch of routinesTom Lane2007-09-05
| | | | | | | that examine fields that could change under them. This is just to make really sure that when we are fetching a value 'only once', that's what actually happens. Possibly this is a bug that should be back-patched, but in the absence of solid evidence that it's needed, I won't bother.
* Quick hack to make the VXID of a prepared transaction be -1/XID,Tom Lane2007-09-05
| | | | | so that different prepared xacts can be told apart in the pg_locks view. Per suggestion from Florian.
* Implement lazy XID allocation: transactions that do not modify any databaseTom Lane2007-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rows will normally never obtain an XID at all. We already did things this way for subtransactions, but this patch extends the concept to top-level transactions. In applications where there are lots of short read-only transactions, this should improve performance noticeably; not so much from removal of the actual XID-assignments, as from reduction of overhead that's driven by the rate of XID consumption. We add a concept of a "virtual transaction ID" so that active transactions can be uniquely identified even if they don't have a regular XID. This is a much lighter-weight concept: uniqueness of VXIDs is only guaranteed over the short term, and no on-disk record is made about them. Florian Pflug, with some editorialization by Tom.
* Provide for binary input/output of enums, to fix complaint from Merlin Moncure.Andrew Dunstan2007-09-04
| | | | | This just provides text values, we're not exposing the underlying Oid representation. Catalog version bumped.

* Restrict tsearch config file base names to contain a-z, 0-9, and underscore,Tom Lane2007-09-04
| | | | instead of the initial policy of whatever isalpha() likes. Per discussion.
* Support SET FROM CURRENT in CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, ALTER DATABASE, ALTER ROLE.Tom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | | | | (Actually, it works as a plain statement too, but I didn't document that because it seems a bit useless.) Unify VariableResetStmt with VariableSetStmt, and clean up some ancient cruft in the representation of same.
* Fix MSVC build (I think) for recent pg_proc.h column addition.Tom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | This business with two independent build systems does kinda suck.
* Improve stylistic consistency of descriptions of built-in objects by avoidingTom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | | | | initcap style --- the vast majority of the existing descriptions do not use an initial cap. I didn't change places where the first word was all-cap. initdb not forced because this doesn't change any regression test results.
* Add an ORDER BY to nail down the expected row order from a query that'sTom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | been shown to be sensitive to concurrent autovacuum. Per Alvaro.
* Fix breakage of GIN support for varchar[] and cidr[] that I introduced in theTom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | operator-family rewrite. I had mistakenly supposed that these could use the pg_amproc entries for text[] and inet[] respectively. However, binary compatibility of the underlying types does not make two array types binary compatible (since they must differ in the header field that gives the element type OID), and so the index support code doesn't consider those entries applicable. Add back the missing pg_amproc entries, and add an opr_sanity query to try to catch such mistakes in future. Per report from Gregory Maxwell.
* Implement function-local GUC parameter settings, as per recent discussion.Tom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | | | | There are still some loose ends: I didn't do anything about the SET FROM CURRENT idea yet, and it's not real clear whether we are happy with the interaction of SET LOCAL with function-local settings. The documentation is a bit spartan, too.
* Since sort_bounded_heap makes state changes that should be madeTom Lane2007-09-01
| | | | | | | | | regardless of the number of tuples involved, it's incorrect to skip it when memtupcount = 1; the number of cycles saved is minuscule anyway. An alternative solution would be to pull the state changes out to the call site in tuplesort_performsort, but keeping them near the corresponding changes in make_bounded_heap seems marginally cleaner. Noticed by Greg Stark.
* Apply a band-aid fix for the problem that 8.2 and up completely misestimateTom Lane2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the number of rows likely to be produced by a query such as SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (key) WHERE t2.key IS NULL; What this is doing is selecting for t1 rows with no match in t2, and thus it may produce a significant number of rows even if the t2.key table column contains no nulls at all. 8.2 thinks the table column's null fraction is relevant and thus may estimate no rows out, which results in terrible plans if there are more joins above this one. A proper fix for this will involve passing much more information about the context of a clause to the selectivity estimator functions than we ever have. There's no time left to write such a patch for 8.3, and it wouldn't be back-patchable into 8.2 anyway. Instead, put in an ad-hoc test to defeat the normal table-stats-based estimation when an IS NULL test is evaluated at an outer join, and just use a constant estimate instead --- I went with 0.5 for lack of a better idea. This won't catch every case but it will catch the typical ways of writing such queries, and it seems unlikely to make things worse for other queries.
* Extend whole-row Var evaluation to cope with the case that the sub-planTom Lane2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | generating the tuples has resjunk output columns. This is not possible for simple table scans but can happen when evaluating a whole-row Var for a view. Per example from Patryk Kordylewski. The problem exists back to 8.0 but I'm not going to risk back-patching further than 8.2 because of the many changes in this area.
* Install check_stack_depth() protection in two recursive tsqueryTom Lane2007-08-31
| | | | processing routines. Per Heikki.
* Rewrite make_outerjoininfo's construction of min_lefthand and min_righthandTom Lane2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sets for outer joins, in the light of bug #3588 and additional thought and experimentation. The original methodology was fatally flawed for nests of more than two outer joins: it got the relationships between adjacent joins right, but didn't always come to the right conclusions about whether a join could be interchanged with one two or more levels below it. This was largely caused by a mistaken idea that we should use the min_lefthand + min_righthand sets of a sub-join as the minimum left or right input set of an upper join when we conclude that the sub-join can't commute with the upper one. If there's a still-lower join that the sub-join *can* commute with, this method led us to think that that one could commute with the topmost join; which it can't. Another problem (not directly connected to bug #3588) was that make_outerjoininfo's processing-order-dependent method for enforcing outer join identity #3 didn't work right: if we decided that join A could safely commute with lower join B, we dropped all information about sub-joins under B that join A could perhaps not safely commute with, because we removed B's entire min_righthand from A's. To fix, make an explicit computation of all inner join combinations that occur below an outer join, and add to that the full syntactic relsets of any lower outer joins that we determine it can't commute with. This method gives much more direct enforcement of the outer join rearrangement identities, and it turns out not to cost a lot of additional bookkeeping. Thanks to Richard Harris for the bug report and test case.

* Relax permissions checks on dbsize functions, per discussion. Revert out allTom Lane2007-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | checks for individual-table-size functions, since anyone in the database could get approximate values from pg_class.relpages anyway. Allow database-size to users with CONNECT privilege for the target database (note that this is granted by default). Allow tablespace-size if the user has CREATE privilege on the tablespace (which is *not* granted by default), or if the tablespace is the default tablespace for the current database (since we treat that as implicitly allowing use of the tablespace).
* Fix aboriginal bug in _tarAddFile(): when complaining that the amount of dataTom Lane2007-08-29
| | | | | | read from the temp file didn't match the file length reported by ftello(), the wrong variable's value was printed, and so the message made no sense. Clean up a couple other coding infelicities while at it.

* Improve behavior of log_lock_waits patch. Ensure that something gets loggedTom Lane2007-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | even if the "deadlock detected" ERROR message is suppressed by an exception catcher. Be clearer about the event sequence when a soft deadlock is fixed: the fixing process might or might not still have to wait, so log that separately. Fix race condition when someone releases us from the lock partway through printing all this junk --- we'd not get confused about our state, but the log message sequence could have been misleading, ie, a "still waiting" message with no subsequent "acquired" message. Greg Stark and Tom Lane.
