* Fix plperl and pltcl error handling per my previous proposal. SPITom Lane2004-11-21
| | | | | | | | | operations are now run as subtransactions, so that errors in them can be reported as ordinary Perl or Tcl errors and caught by the normal error handling convention of those languages. Also do some minor code cleanup in pltcl.c: extract a large chunk of duplicated code in pltcl_SPI_execute and pltcl_SPI_execute_plan into a shared subroutine.

* Create 'default_tablespace' GUC variable that supplies a TABLESPACETom Lane2004-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly. Remove concept of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for selecting a default tablespace for a table or index. It's now just (a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an empty string; (c) database's default. This will allow pg_dump to use SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations (but I didn't actually make it do so). All per recent discussions.

* Invent a new, more thread-safe version of PQrequestCancel, called PQcancel.Tom Lane2004-10-30

* I found a corner case in which it is possible for RI_FKey_check's callTom Lane2004-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | of HeapTupleSatisfiesItself() to trigger a hint-bit update on the tuple: if the row was updated or deleted by a subtransaction of my own transaction that was later rolled back. This cannot occur in pre-8.0 of course, so the hint-bit patch applied a couple weeks ago is OK for existing releases. But for 8.0 it seems we had better fix things so that RI_FKey_check can pass the correct buffer number to HeapTupleSatisfiesItself. Accordingly, add fields to the TriggerData struct to carry the buffer ID(s) for the old and new tuple(s). There are other possible solutions but this one seems cleanest; it will allow other AFTER-trigger functions to safely do tqual.c calls if they want to. Put new fields at end of struct so that there is no API breakage.

| | | | | | | This does not disable the bgwriter process: it still has to wake up often enough to collect fsync requests from backends in a timely fashion. But it responds to the recent gripe about not being able to prevent the disk from being spun up constantly.
