* Remove WIN32_NON_BLOCKING_CONNECTIONS tests, since we don't need 'emTom Lane2001-07-31
| | | | anymore.
* Partial indexes work again, courtesy of Martijn van Oosterhout.Tom Lane2001-07-16
| | | | | | Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough. However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.
* Restructure index AM interface for index building and index tuple deletion,Tom Lane2001-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet, but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns. Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this, gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with the performance problems we've heard about occasionally). Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long ago for btree, but missed the other guys. Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.

* Changes from Vince Vielhaber to allow the optional clauses of CREATETom Lane2001-07-10
| | | | | | | | USER and ALTER USER to appear in any order, not only the fixed order they used to be required to appear in. Also, some changes from Tom Lane to create a FULL option for VACUUM; it doesn't do anything yet, but I needed to change many of the same files to make that happen, so now seemed like a good time.
* Fix rule rewriter so that new ordering of ON INSERT actions appliesTom Lane2001-07-09

* Install infrastructure for shared-memory free space map. Doesn't actuallyTom Lane2001-06-27
| | | | | | | | | do anything yet, but it has the necessary connections to initialization and so forth. Make some gestures towards allowing number of blocks in a relation to be BlockNumber, ie, unsigned int, rather than signed int. (I doubt I got all the places that are sloppy about it, yet.) On the way, replace the hardwired NLOCKS_PER_XACT fudge factor with a GUC variable.

* Add IS UNKNOWN, IS NOT UNKNOWN boolean tests, fix the existing booleanTom Lane2001-06-19
| | | | | | | tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs. Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own expression node types, instead of depending on special functions. From Joe Conway, with a little help from Tom Lane.

* Clean up various to-do items associated with system indexes:Tom Lane2001-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname. pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid. pg_am now has unique index on oid. pg_opclass now has unique index on oid. pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum. Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache. Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons (caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is rather pointless). Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on adrelid+adnum. Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not. IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared during initial creation of tables and indexes. In theory we might now support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases. Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have the same OID. (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's actually used to do lookups ;-)) There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap relations. Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired entries in pg_class and friends. Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki, since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless. Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared system relations. Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do). Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.

| | | | | | | | for GRANT/REVOKE is now just that, not "CHANGE". On the way, migrate some of the aclitem internal representation away from the parser and build a real parse tree instead. Also add some 'const' qualifiers.

* This patch adds support for %TYPE in CREATE FUNCTION argument and returnBruce Momjian2001-06-04

* Native Language Support (NLS)Peter Eisentraut2001-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details. See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add translations. psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more of a placeholder.
* Clean up some minor problems exposed by further thought about Panon's bugTom Lane2001-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | report on old-style functions invoked by RI triggers. We had a number of other places that were being sloppy about which memory context FmgrInfo subsidiary data will be allocated in. Turns out none of them actually cause a problem in 7.1, but this is for arcane reasons such as the fact that old-style triggers aren't supported anyway. To avoid getting burnt later, I've restructured the trigger support so that we don't keep trigger FmgrInfo structs in relcache memory. Some other related cleanups too: it's not really necessary to call fmgr_info at all while setting up the index support info in relcache entries, because those ScanKeyEntry structs are never used to invoke the functions. This should speed up relcache initialization a tiny bit.
