* Code review for FILLFACTOR patch. Change WITH grammar as per earlierTom Lane2006-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c). Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last. Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync with code. Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

* Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in useTom Lane2006-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context. Neil Conway and Tom Lane
* Improve the representation of FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE so that we canTom Lane2006-04-30

* Extend the ExecInitNode API so that plan nodes receive a set of flagTom Lane2006-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | bits indicating which optional capabilities can actually be exercised at runtime. This will allow Sort and Material nodes, and perhaps later other nodes, to avoid unnecessary overhead in common cases. This commit just adds the infrastructure and arranges to pass the correct flag values down to plan nodes; none of the actual optimizations are here yet. I'm committing this separately in case anyone wants to measure the added overhead. (It should be negligible.) Simon Riggs and Tom Lane
* Cleanup the usage of ScanDirection: use the symbolic names for theNeil Conway2006-02-21
| | | | | | | | | possible ScanDirection alternatives rather than magic numbers (-1, 0, 1). Also, use the ScanDirection macros in a few places rather than directly checking whether `dir == ForwardScanDirection' and the like. Per patch from James William Pye. His patch also changed ScanDirection to be a "char" rather than an enum, which I haven't applied.
* Add TABLESPACE and ON COMMIT clauses to CREATE TABLE AS. ON COMMIT isNeil Conway2006-02-19
| | | | | required by the SQL standard, and TABLESPACE is useful functionality. Patch from Kris Jurka, minor editorialization by Neil Conway.
* Repair "Halloween problem" in EvalPlanQual: a tuple that's been inserted byTom Lane2006-01-12
| | | | | | | | our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
* Cosmetic code cleanup: fix a bunch of places that used "return (expr);"Neil Conway2006-01-11
| | | | | | rather than "return expr;" -- the latter style is used in most of the tree. I kept the parentheses when they were necessary or useful because the return expression was complex.

| | | | | | | | | 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.
* Modify tuptoaster's API so that it does not try to modify the passedTom Lane2005-11-20
| | | | | | | | | tuple in-place, but instead passes back an all-new tuple structure if any changes are needed. This is a much cleaner and more robust solution for the bug discovered by Alexey Beschiokov; accordingly, revert the quick hack I installed yesterday. With this change, HeapTupleData.t_datamcxt is no longer needed; will remove it in a separate commit in HEAD only.
* Stopgap solution for problem reported by Alexey Beschiokov: afterTom Lane2005-11-19
| | | | | | | doing heap_insert or heap_update, wipe out any extracted fields in the TupleTableSlot containing the tuple, because they might not be valid anymore if tuptoaster.c changed the tuple. Safe because slot must be in the materialized state, but mighty ugly --- find a better answer!

| | | | | | | slot of the topmost plan node when a trigger returns a modified tuple. These appear to be the only places where a plan node's caller did not treat the result slot as read-only, which is an assumption that nodeUnique makes as of 8.1.

* Arrange for indexes and toast tables to inherit their ownership fromTom Lane2005-08-26

* Repair problems with VACUUM destroying t_ctid chains too soon, and withTom Lane2005-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. (We must do both because even with VACUUM doing it properly, the intermediate state with a dangling t_ctid link is visible concurrently during lazy VACUUM, and could be seen afterwards if either type of VACUUM crashes partway through.) Also try to improve documentation about what's going on. Patch is a bit bulky because passing the XMAX information around required changing the APIs of some low-level heapam.c routines, but it's not conceptually very complicated. Per trouble report from Teodor and subsequent analysis. This needs to be back-patched, but I'll do that after 8.1 beta is out.
* Update some obsolete comments --- code is using t_self now, not t_ctid.Tom Lane2005-08-18

* Add NOWAIT option to SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE.Tom Lane2005-08-01
| | | | | Original patch by Hans-Juergen Schoenig, revisions by Karel Zak and Tom Lane.
* Replace pg_shadow and pg_group by new role-capable catalogs pg_authidTom Lane2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should be pretty much done.
* Avoid WAL-logging individual tuple insertions during CREATE TABLE ASTom Lane2005-06-20
| | | | | | (a/k/a SELECT INTO). Instead, flush and fsync the whole relation before committing. We do still need the WAL log when PITR is active, however. Simon Riggs and Tom Lane.
* Teach the planner to remove SubqueryScan nodes from the plan if theyTom Lane2005-05-22
| | | | | | | | | aren't doing anything useful (ie, neither selection nor projection). Also, extend to SubqueryScan the hacks already in place to avoid unnecessary ExecProject calls when the result would just be the same tuple the subquery already delivered. This saves some overhead in UNION and other set operations, as well as avoiding overhead for unflatten-able subqueries. Per example from Sokolov Yura.
* For some reason access/tupmacs.h has been #including utils/memutils.h,Tom Lane2005-05-06
| | | | | | | which is neither needed by nor related to that header. Remove the bogus inclusion and instead include the header in those C files that actually need it. Also fix unnecessary inclusions and bad inclusion order in tsearch2 files.
* Implement sharable row-level locks, and use them for foreign key referencesTom Lane2005-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple- transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before, while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock. Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
* First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane2005-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes; but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a good place to commit. Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be 'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.
* Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save aTom Lane2005-04-06
| | | | | | | | | few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date. initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.
* Improve EXPLAIN ANALYZE to show the time spent in each trigger whenTom Lane2005-03-25
| | | | | | | | executing a statement that fires triggers. Formerly this time was included in "Total runtime" but not otherwise accounted for. As a side benefit, we avoid re-opening relations when firing non-deferred AFTER triggers, because the trigger code can re-use the main executor's ResultRelInfo data structure.
* Change the return value of HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate() to be an enum,Neil Conway2005-03-20
| | | | | rather than an integer, and fix the associated fallout. From Alvaro Herrera.
* Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassemblyTom Lane2005-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr() calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots. (I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be helped very much. I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either 'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.

* Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon2004-12-31
| | | | | | | | Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...
* Fix problems with SQL functions returning rowtypes that have droppedTom Lane2004-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | columns. The returned tuple needs to have appropriate NULL columns inserted so that it actually matches the declared rowtype. It seemed convenient to use a JunkFilter for this, so I made some cleanups and simplifications in the JunkFilter code to allow it to support this additional functionality. (That in turn exposed a latent bug in nodeAppend.c, which is that it was returning a tuple slot whose descriptor didn't match its data.) Also, move check_sql_fn_retval out of pg_proc.c and into functions.c, where it seems to more naturally belong.
* Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTEDTom Lane2004-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.) As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.
* Renumber SnapshotNow and the other special snapshot codes so thatTom Lane2004-09-11
| | | | | | | | ((Snapshot) NULL) can no longer be confused with a valid snapshot, as per my recent suggestion. Define a macro InvalidSnapshot for 0. Use InvalidSnapshot instead of SnapshotAny as the do-nothing special case for heap_update and heap_delete crosschecks; this seems a little cleaner even though the behavior is really the same.

* 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.
* Use the new List API function names throughout the backend, and disable theNeil Conway2004-05-30
| | | | | list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.
* 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.
* Refactor low-level aclcheck code to provide useful interfaces for multi-bitTom Lane2004-05-11
| | | | | | | permissions tests in about the same amount of code as before. Exactly what the GRANT/REVOKE code ought to be doing is still up for debate, but this should be helpful in any case, and it already solves an efficiency problem in executor startup.
* Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, andTom Lane2004-03-23
| | | | | | | | | remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor of doing a regular DROP. Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column. This fixes problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an OID column that was inherited from a parent.
* Junkfilter logic to force a projection step during SELECT INTO was tooTom Lane2004-03-02
| | | | | simplistic; it recognized SELECT * FROM but not SELECT * FROM LIMIT. Per bug report from Jeff Bohmer.
* Fix oversight in optimization that avoids an unnecessary projection stepTom Lane2004-01-22
| | | | | | when scanning a table that we need all the columns from. In case of SELECT INTO, we have to check that the hasoids flag matches the desired output type, too. Per report from Mike Mascari.
* Fix permission-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-03 (this timeTom Lane2004-01-14
| | | | | | | | | for sure...). Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits. This allows an RTE specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived UPDATE query without changing meaning. Per recent discussion thread. initdb forced due to change of stored rule representation.
* 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.
* Clean up the usage of canonicalize_qual(): in particular, be consistentTom Lane2003-12-28
| | | | | | | | | about whether it is applied before or after eval_const_expressions(). I believe there were some corner cases where the system would fail to recognize that a partial index is applicable because of the previous inconsistency. Store normal rather than 'implicit AND' representations of constraints and index predicates in the catalogs. initdb forced due to representation change of constraints/predicates.
