* Changed TOAST relations to have relkind RELKIND_TOASTVALUE.Jan Wieck2000-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Special handling of TOAST relations during VACUUM. TOAST relations are vacuumed while the lock on the master table is still active. The ANALYZE flag doesn't propagate to their vacuuming because the toaster access routines allways use index access ignoring stats, so why compute them at all. Protection of TOAST relations against normal INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE while offering SELECT for debugging purposes. Jan

* Make toast-table creation and deletion work somewhat reliably.Tom Lane2000-07-04
| | | | | | | Don't go through pg_exec_query_dest(), but directly to the execution routines. Also, extend parameter lists so that there's no need to change the global setting of allowSystemTableMods, a hack that was certain to cause trouble in the event of any error.
* First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/READMETom Lane2000-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long- standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single query string crashing. Also, out-of-memory is now considered a recoverable ERROR, not FATAL. Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around memory management. Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and backend startup.
* Modify index-opening code to guarantee that the indexes of a relationTom Lane2000-06-19
| | | | | | | are opened in a consistent order by different backends (I ordered them by index OID because that's easy, but any other consistent order would do as well). This avoids potential deadlock for index types that we acquire exclusive locks on ... ie, rtree.
* Reimplement nodeMaterial to use a temporary BufFile (or even memory, if theTom Lane2000-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation. This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname' plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans, and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.
* Fix performance problems with pg_index lookups (see, for example,Tom Lane2000-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | discussion of 5/19/00). pg_index is now searched for indexes of a relation using an indexscan. Moreover, this is done once and cached in the relcache entry for the relation, in the form of a list of OIDs for the indexes. This list is used by the parser and executor to drive lookups in the pg_index syscache when they want to know the properties of the indexes. Net result: index information will be fully cached for repetitive operations such as inserts.

* The heralded `Grand Unified Configuration scheme' (GUC)Peter Eisentraut2000-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration, some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste. pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K, -Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q). Added to configure an --enable-syslog option. changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)

| | | | | | | key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle. An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions). NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.
* Fix problem in which sloppily-coded test in ExecInitIndexScan wouldTom Lane2000-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | think that both sides of indexqual look like index keys. An example is create table inside (f1 float8 primary key); create table outside (g1 float8, g2 float8); select * from inside,outside where f1 = atan2(g1+1, g2); ERROR: ExecInitIndexScan: both left and right ops are rel-vars (note that failure is potentially platform-dependent). Solution is a cleanup I had had in mind to make anyway: functional index keys should be represented as Var nodes in the fixed indexqual, just like regular index keys.

* Partial fix for EvalPlanQual bugs reported by Magnus Hagander, 3-Apr.Tom Lane2000-04-07
| | | | | | Ensure that outer tuple link needed for inner indexscan qual evaluation gets set in the EvalPlanQual case. This stops coredump, but we still have resource leaks due to failure to clean up EvalPlanQual properly...
* Fix bug noted by Bruce: FETCH in an already-aborted transaction blockTom Lane2000-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | would crash, due to premature invocation of SetQuerySnapshot(). Clean up problems with handling of multiple queries by splitting pg_parse_and_plan into two routines. The old code would not, for example, do the right thing with END; SELECT... submitted in one query string when it had been in transaction abort state, because it'd decide to skip planning the SELECT before it had executed the END. New arrangement is simpler and doesn't force caller to plan if only parse+rewrite is needed.

* Redo permissions-checking code so that it does the right thing at APPENDTom Lane2000-03-09

| | | | | | | | | | represent the result of a binary-compatible type coercion. At runtime it just evaluates its argument --- but during type resolution, exprType will pick up the output type of the RelabelType node instead of the type of the argument. This solves some longstanding problems with dropped type coercions, an example being 'select now()::abstime::int4' which used to produce date-formatted output, not an integer, because the coercion to int4 was dropped on the floor.

Reimplement nodeUnique and nodeGroup to use the proper datatype-specific equality function for each column being compared --- they used to do bitwise comparisons or convert the data to text strings and strcmp(). (To add insult to injury, they'd look up the conversion functions once for each tuple...) Parse/plan representation of DISTINCT is now a list of SortClause nodes. initdb forced by querytree change...

| | | | | | | | | from a constraint condition does not violate the constraint (cf. discussion on pghackers 12/9/99). Implemented by adding a parameter to ExecQual, specifying whether to return TRUE or FALSE when the qual result is really NULL in three-valued boolean logic. Currently, ExecRelCheck is the only caller that asks for TRUE, but if we find any other places that have the wrong response to NULL, it'll be easy to fix them.
