* Clean up WAL/buffer interactions as per my recent proposal. Get rid of theTom Lane2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | misleadingly-named WriteBuffer routine, and instead require routines that change buffer pages to call MarkBufferDirty (which does exactly what it says). We also require that they do so before calling XLogInsert; this takes care of the synchronization requirement documented in SyncOneBuffer. Note that because bufmgr takes the buffer content lock (in shared mode) while writing out any buffer, it doesn't matter whether MarkBufferDirty is executed before the buffer content change is complete, so long as the content change is completed before releasing exclusive lock on the buffer. So it's OK to set the dirtybit before we fill in the LSN. This eliminates the former kluge of needing to set the dirtybit in LockBuffer. Aside from making the code more transparent, we can also add some new debugging assertions, in particular that the caller of MarkBufferDirty must hold the buffer content lock, not merely a pin.
* Clean up and document the API for XLogOpenRelation and XLogReadBuffer.Tom Lane2006-03-29
| | | | | | | | This commit doesn't make much functional change, but it does eliminate some duplicated code --- for instance, PageIsNew tests are now done inside XLogReadBuffer rather than by each caller. The GIST xlog code still needs a lot of love, but I'll worry about that separately.
* Arrange to emit a description of the current XLOG record as error contextTom Lane2006-03-24
| | | | | | | | | when an error occurs during xlog replay. Also, replace the former risky 'write into a fixed-size buffer with no overflow detection' API for XLOG record description routines; use an expansible StringInfo instead. (The latter accounts for most of the patch bulk.) Qingqing Zhou
* Improve parser so that we can show an error cursor position for errorsTom Lane2006-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages. This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq, which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.

* Add GRANT ON SEQUENCE syntax to support sequence-only permissions.Bruce Momjian2006-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Continue to support GRANT ON [TABLE] for sequences for backward compatibility; issue warning for invalid sequence permissions. [Backward compatibility warning message.] Add USAGE permission for sequences that allows only currval() and nextval(), not setval(). Mention object name in grant/revoke warnings because of possible multi-object operations.
* Re-run pgindent, fixing a problem where comment lines after a blankBruce Momjian2005-11-22
| | | | | | | | | comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for indenting). Backpatch to 8.1.X.

* Change nextval and other sequence functions to specify their sequenceTom Lane2005-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion. Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).
* Add a function lastval(), which returns the value returned by theNeil Conway2005-06-07

* Modify XLogInsert API to make callers specify whether pages to be backedTom Lane2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | up have the standard layout with unused space between pd_lower and pd_upper. When this is set, XLogInsert will omit the unused space without bothering to scan it to see if it's zero. That saves time in XLogInsert, and also allows reversion of my earlier patch to make PageRepairFragmentation et al explicitly re-zero freed space. Per suggestion by Heikki Linnakangas.
* Remove the mostly-stubbed-out-anyway support routines for WAL UNDO.Tom Lane2005-06-06
| | | | | | That code is never going to be used in the foreseeable future, and where it's more than a stub it's making the redo routines harder to read.

* There is no need for ReadBuffer() call sites to check that the returnedNeil Conway2004-11-14
| | | | | | buffer is valid, as ReadBuffer() will elog on error. Most of the call sites of ReadBuffer() got this right, but this patch fixes those call sites that did not.
* Restructure subtransaction handling to reduce resource consumption,Tom Lane2004-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as per recent discussions. Invent SubTransactionIds that are managed like CommandIds (ie, counter is reset at start of each top transaction), and use these instead of TransactionIds to keep track of subtransaction status in those modules that need it. This means that a subtransaction does not need an XID unless it actually inserts/modifies rows in the database. Accordingly, don't assign it an XID nor take a lock on the XID until it tries to do that. This saves a lot of overhead for subtransactions that are only used for error recovery (eg plpgsql exceptions). Also, arrange to release a subtransaction's XID lock as soon as the subtransaction exits, in both the commit and abort cases. This avoids holding many unique locks after a long series of subtransactions. The price is some additional overhead in XactLockTableWait, but that seems acceptable. Finally, restructure the state machine in xact.c to have a more orthogonal set of states for subtransactions.

Also, undo recent change to add FILE_HEADER and WASTED_SPACE records to XLOG; instead make the XLOG page header variable-size with extra fields in the first page of an XLOG file. This should fix the boundary-case bugs observed by Mark Kirkwood. initdb forced due to change of XLOG representation.
* Remove TABLESPACE option of CREATE SEQUENCE; sequences will now alwaysTom Lane2004-07-12
| | | | | | | live in database or schema's default tablespace, as per today's discussion. Also, remove some unused keywords from the grammar (PATH, PENDANT, VERSION), and fix ALSO, which was added as a keyword but not added to the keyword classification lists, thus making it worse-than-reserved.
* Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.Tom Lane2004-06-18
| | | | | | | | | There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is dead, it just doesn't know it yet. Gavin Sherry and Tom Lane.
* Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway2004-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
* Get rid of rd_nblocks field in relcache entries. Turns out this wasTom Lane2004-05-08
| | | | | | | | | costing us lots more to maintain than it was worth. On shared tables it was of exactly zero benefit because we couldn't trust it to be up to date. On temp tables it sometimes saved an lseek, but not often enough to be worth getting excited about. And the real problem was that we forced an lseek on every relcache flush in order to update the field. So all in all it seems best to lose the complexity.
* ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART did the wrong thing if sequence last_value wasTom Lane2004-04-06
| | | | | equal to the desired restart value (must clear is_called, did not). Per bug report #1127 from Piotr Konieczny.
* Implement "WITH / WITHOID OIDS" clause for CREATE TABLE AS. This isNeil Conway2004-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | intended to allow application authors to insulate themselves from changes to the default value of 'default_with_oids' in future releases of PostgreSQL. This patch also fixes a bug in the earlier implementation of the 'default_with_oids' GUC variable: code in gram.y should not examine the value of GUC variables directly due to synchronization issues.
* More janitorial work: remove the explicit casting of NULL literals to aNeil Conway2004-01-07
| | | | | | | | pointer type when it is not necessary to do so. For future reference, casting NULL to a pointer type is only necessary when (a) invoking a function AND either (b) the function has no prototype OR (c) the function is a varargs function.
* I posted some bufmgr cleanup a few weeks ago, but it conflicted withNeil Conway2003-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | some concurrent changes Jan was making to the bufmgr. Here's an updated version of the patch -- it should apply cleanly to CVS HEAD and passes the regression tests. This patch makes the following changes: - remove the UnlockAndReleaseBuffer() and UnlockAndWriteBuffer() macros, and replace uses of them with calls to the appropriate functions. - remove a bunch of #ifdef BMTRACE code: it is ugly & broken (i.e. it doesn't compile) - make BufferReplace() return a bool, not an int - cleanup some logic in bufmgr.c; should be functionality equivalent to the previous code, just cleaner now - remove the BM_PRIVATE flag as it is unused - improve a few comments, etc.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add ALTER SEQUENCE to modify min/max/increment/cache/cycle values Also updated create sequence docs to mention NO MINVALUE, & NO MAXVALUE. New Files: doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_sequence.sgml src/test/regress/expected/sequence.out src/test/regress/sql/sequence.sql ALTER SEQUENCE is NOT transactional. It behaves similarly to setval(). It matches the proposed SQL200N spec, as well as Oracle in most ways -- Oracle lacks RESTART WITH for some strange reason. -- Rod Taylor <rbt@rbt.ca>

I changed the code to use sizeof - but will wait for a response from Peter before changing the size. It's consistent throughout the sequence code to be 100 for this purpose. Rod Taylor <rbt@rbt.ca>

Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when no longer needed. Use an enum instead of random macros. Editorialize on names used for routines and constants. Teach backend/nodes routines about new field in CreateTable struct. Add a regression test.

* Restructure local-buffer handling per recent pghackers discussion.Tom Lane2002-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations (unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance. Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL. Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.
