* Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to beTom Lane2000-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | cloned, rather than always cloning template1. Modify initdb to generate two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1. Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain in its virgin as-initdb'd state. pg_dumpall now dumps databases with restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0. This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1. initdb forced!

* Ok, You guys are probably tired of me, BUT, here is another one, thatBruce Momjian2000-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | adds the facility to set the program name used in syslog. (this includes the other ones). One gotcha, the parser doesn't like special characters in strings. For example, i tried to use pg-test, and if failed the parse coming from the postgresql.conf file. I don't think it's a showstopper.. Larry Rosenman
* UUNET is looking into offering PostgreSQL as a part of a managed webBruce Momjian2000-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hosting product, on both shared and dedicated machines. We currently offer Oracle and MySQL, and it would be a nice middle-ground. However, as shipped, PostgreSQL lacks the following features we need that MySQL has: 1. The ability to listen only on a particular IP address. Each hosting customer has their own IP address, on which all of their servers (http, ftp, real media, etc.) run. 2. The ability to place the Unix-domain socket in a mode 700 directory. This allows us to automatically create an empty database, with an empty DBA password, for new or upgrading customers without having to interactively set a DBA password and communicate it to (or from) the customer. This in turn cuts down our install and upgrade times. 3. The ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket from within a change-rooted environment. We run CGI programs chrooted to the user's home directory, which is another reason why we need to be able to specify where the Unix-domain socket is, instead of /tmp. 4. The ability to, if run as root, open a pid file in /var/run as root, and then setuid to the desired user. (mysqld -u can almost do this; I had to patch it, too). The patch below fixes problem 1-3. I plan to address #4, also, but haven't done so yet. These diffs are big enough that they should give the PG development team something to think about in the meantime :-) Also, I'm about to leave for 2 weeks' vacation, so I thought I'd get out what I have, which works (for the problems it tackles), now. With these changes, we can set up and run PostgreSQL with scripts the same way we can with apache or proftpd or mysql. In summary, this patch makes the following enhancements: 1. Adds an environment variable PGUNIXSOCKET, analogous to MYSQL_UNIX_PORT, and command line options -k --unix-socket to the relevant programs. 2. Adds a -h option to postmaster to set the hostname or IP address to listen on instead of the default INADDR_ANY. 3. Extends some library interfaces to support the above. 4. Fixes a few memory leaks in PQconnectdb(). The default behavior is unchanged from stock 7.0.2; if you don't use any of these new features, they don't change the operation. David J. MacKenzie

* Major overhaul of large-object implementation, by Denis Perchine withTom Lane2000-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | kibitzing from Tom Lane. Large objects are now all stored in a single system relation "pg_largeobject" --- no more xinv or xinx files, no more relkind 'l'. This should offer substantial performance improvement for large numbers of LOs, since there won't be directory bloat anymore. It'll also fix problems like running out of locktable space when you access thousands of LOs in one transaction. Also clean up cruft in read/write routines. LOs with "holes" in them (never-written byte ranges) now work just like Unix files with holes do: a hole reads as zeroes but doesn't occupy storage space. INITDB forced!

Add missing CommandCounterIncrement to DROP loop, which could cause trouble otherwise with multiple DROP of items affecting same catalog entries. Try to bring a little consistency to various error messages using 'does not exist', 'nonexistent', etc --- I standardized on 'does not exist' since that's what the vast majority of the existing uses seem to be.

* The following patch was sent to the patches list:Bruce Momjian2000-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch forces the use of 'DROP VIEW' to destroy views. It also changes the syntax of DROP VIEW to DROP VIEW v1, v2, ... to match the syntax of DROP TABLE. Some error messages were changed so this patch also includes changes to the appropriate expected/*.out files. Doc changes for 'DROP TABLE" and 'DROP VIEW' are included. -- Mark Hollomon

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-) This patch updates: * Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl) * Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs) * Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of PQgetssl() function) * Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment" If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know. //Magnus
