* This patch allows pg_restore to recognize $-quotes in SQL queries. ItBruce Momjian2004-08-20

Sigh... as usual, what is not tested does not work:-( > Could we have a more complete patch? Please find a submission attached. I hope it really fixes all decade, century and millenium issues for extract and *_trunc functions on interval and other timestamp types. If someone could check that the results are reasonnable, it would be great. I indeed overlooked the fact that there were two functions. The patch fixes the code so that both variants agree. I added comments to interval extractions, because it relies on the C division to have a negative remainder: -7/10 = 0 and remains -7. As for *_trunc functions, I have chosen to put the first year of the century or millennium: -100, 1, 101... 1001 2001 etc. Indeed, I don't think it would make sense to put 2000 (last year of the 2nd millennium) for rounding all years of the third millenium. I also fixed the code so that all decades last 10 years and decade 199 means the 1990's. I have added some tests that are relevant to deal with tricky cases. The formula may be simplified, but all these cases must pass. Please keep them. Fabien Coelho

| | | | | | | | | | | | presence of dropped columns. Document the already-presumed fact that eref aliases in relation RTEs are supposed to have entries for dropped columns; cause the user alias structs to have such entries too, so that there's always a one-to-one mapping to the underlying physical attnums. Adjust expandRTE() and related code to handle the case where a column that is part of a JOIN has been dropped. Generalize expandRTE()'s API so that it can be used in a couple of places that formerly rolled their own implementation of the same logic. Fix ruleutils.c to suppress display of aliases for columns that were dropped since the rule was made.

| | | | | | | | | | value of 'start' could be past the end of the page, if the page was split by some concurrent inserting process since we visited it. In this situation the code could look at bogus entries and possibly find a match (since after all those entries still contain what they had before the split). This would lead to 'specified item offset is too large' followed by 'PANIC: failed to add item to the page', as reported by Joe Conway for scenarios involving heavy concurrent insertion activity.
* Standardize on the assumption that the arguments of a RowExpr correspondTom Lane2004-08-17

| | | | | | | | | | | | of XLogInsert had the same sort of checkpoint interlock problem as RecordTransactionCommit, and indeed I found some. Btree index build and ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE write data outside the friendly confines of the buffer manager, and therefore they have to take their own responsibility for checkpoint interlock. The easiest solution seems to be to force smgrimmedsync at the end of the index build or table copy, even when the operation is being WAL-logged. This is sufficient since the new index or table will be of interest to no one if we don't get as far as committing the current transaction.
