* Change the default value of standard_conforming_strings to on.Robert Haas2010-07-20
| | | | | This change should be publicized to driver maintainers at once and release-noted as an incompatibility with previous releases.
* Add server authentication over Unix-domain socketsPeter Eisentraut2010-07-18

* Allow full SSL certificate verification (wherein libpq checks its host nameTom Lane2010-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parameter against server cert's CN field) to succeed in the case where both host and hostaddr are specified. As with the existing precedents for Kerberos, GSSAPI, SSPI, it is the calling application's responsibility that host and hostaddr match up --- we just use the host name as given. Per bug #5559 from Christopher Head. In passing, make the error handling and messages for the no-host-name-given failure more consistent among these four cases, and correct a lie in the documentation: we don't attempt to reverse-lookup host from hostaddr if host is missing. Back-patch to 8.4 where SSL cert verification was introduced.
* Teach EXPLAIN to print PARAM_EXEC Params as the referenced expressions,Tom Lane2010-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rather than just $N. This brings the display of nestloop-inner-indexscan plans back to where it's been, and incidentally improves the display of SubPlan parameters as well. In passing, simplify the EXPLAIN code by having it deal primarily in the PlanState tree rather than separately searching Plan and PlanState trees. This is noticeably cleaner for subplans, and about a wash elsewhere. One small difference from previous behavior is that EXPLAIN will no longer qualify local variable references in inner-indexscan plan nodes, since it no longer sees such nodes as possibly referencing multiple tables. Vars referenced through PARAM_EXEC Params are still forcibly qualified, though, so I don't think the display is any more confusing than before. Adjust a couple of examples in the documentation to match this behavior.

* Make log_temp_files based on kB, and revert docs & comments to match.Robert Haas2010-07-06
| | | | | | | Per extensive discussion on pgsql-hackers. We are deliberately not back-patching this even though the behavior of 8.3 and 8.4 is unquestionably broken, for fear of breaking existing users of this parameter. This incompatibility should be release-noted.

* Support setting the keepalive idle time on MacOS X.Robert Haas2010-07-06
| | | | | | MacOS X uses TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than TCP_KEEPIDLE for this purpose. Thanks to Fujii Masao for the review.
* Split the LDFLAGS make variable into two parts: LDFLAGS is now used forTom Lane2010-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific %.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD) directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.) Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.

* Make vacuum_defer_cleanup_age be PGC_SIGHUP level, since it's not sensibleTom Lane2010-07-03
| | | | | | | to have different values in different processes of the primary server. Also put it into the "Streaming Replication" GUC category; it doesn't belong in "Standby Servers" because you use it on the master not the standby. In passing also correct guc.c's idea of wal_keep_segments' category.
* Replace max_standby_delay with two parameters, max_standby_archive_delay andTom Lane2010-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | max_standby_streaming_delay, and revise the implementation to avoid assuming that timestamps found in WAL records can meaningfully be compared to clock time on the standby server. Instead, the delay limits are compared to the elapsed time since we last obtained a new WAL segment from archive or since we were last "caught up" to WAL data arriving via streaming replication. This avoids problems with clock skew between primary and standby, as well as other corner cases that the original coding would misbehave in, such as the primary server having significant idle time between transactions. Per my complaint some time ago and considerable ensuing discussion. Do some desultory editing on the hot standby documentation, too.

* Rewrite docs for new libpq keepalive parameters.Robert Haas2010-06-25
| | | | | | | The revised documentation makes it more clear that these are client-side parameters, rather than server side parameters. It also puts the main point of each parameter first, and consolidates the conditions under which it might be ignored in a single list at the end.

* Add TCP keepalive support to libpq.Robert Haas2010-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds four additional connection parameters to libpq: keepalives, keepalives_idle, keepalives_count, and keepalives_interval. keepalives default to on, per discussion, but can be turned off by specifying keepalives=0. The remaining parameters, where supported, can be used to adjust how often keepalives are sent and how many can be lost before the connection is broken. The immediate motivation for this patch is to make sure that walreceiver will eventually notice if the master reboots without closing the connection cleanly, but it should be helpful in other cases as well. Tollef Fog Heen, Fujii Masao, and me.
