* Rework temp_tablespaces patch so that temp tablespaces are assigned separatelyTom Lane2007-06-07
| | | | | | | | | for each temp file, rather than once per sort or hashjoin; this allows spreading the data of a large sort or join across multiple tablespaces. (I remain dubious that this will make any difference in practice, but certain people insisted.) Arrange to cache the results of parsing the GUC variable instead of recomputing from scratch on every demand, and push usage of the cache down to the bottommost fd.c level.
* Create a GUC parameter temp_tablespaces that allows selection of theTom Lane2007-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | tablespace(s) in which to store temp tables and temporary files. This is a list to allow spreading the load across multiple tablespaces (a random list element is chosen each time a temp object is to be created). Temp files are not stored in per-database pgsql_tmp/ directories anymore, but per-tablespace directories. Jaime Casanova and Albert Cervera, with review by Bernd Helmle and Tom Lane.

* Cause ShutdownPostgres to do a normal transaction abort during backendTom Lane2005-08-08

Introduce some additional shutdown callback routines to eliminate kluges like having ProcKill be responsible for shutting down the buffer manager.

* Arrange for the postmaster (and standalone backends, initdb, etc) toTom Lane2005-07-04
| | | | | | | | chdir into PGDATA and subsequently use relative paths instead of absolute paths to access all files under PGDATA. This seems to give a small performance improvement, and it should make the system more robust against naive DBAs doing things like moving a database directory that has a live postmaster in it. Per recent discussion.
* Simplify uses of readdir() by creating a function ReadDir() thatTom Lane2005-06-19
| | | | | | | includes error checking and an appropriate ereport(ERROR) message. This gets rid of rather tedious and error-prone manipulation of errno, as well as a Windows-specific bug workaround, at more than a dozen call sites. After an idea in a recent patch by Heikki Linnakangas.

* Refactor EXEC_BACKEND code so that postmaster child processes reattachTom Lane2004-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | to shared memory as soon as possible, ie, right after read_backend_variables. The effective difference from the original code is that this happens before instead of after read_nondefault_variables(), which loads GUC information and is apparently capable of expanding the backend's memory allocation more than you'd think it should. This should fix the failure-to-attach-to-shared-memory reports we've been seeing on Windows. Also clean up a few bits of unnecessarily grotty EXEC_BACKEND code.
* 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.

* Fix subtransaction behavior for large objects, temp namespace, files,Tom Lane2004-07-28
| | | | | | | password/group files. Also allow read-only subtransactions of a read-write parent, but not vice versa. These are the reasonably noncontroversial parts of Alvaro's recent mop-up patch, plus further work on large objects to minimize use of the TopTransactionResourceOwner.
* Per previous discussions, get rid of use of sync(2) in favor ofTom Lane2004-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | explicitly fsync'ing every (non-temp) file we have written since the last checkpoint. In the vast majority of cases, the burden of the fsyncs should fall on the bgwriter process not on backends. (To this end, we assume that an fsync issued by the bgwriter will force out blocks written to the same file by other processes using other file descriptors. Anyone have a problem with that?) This makes the world safe for WIN32, which ain't even got sync(2), and really makes the world safe for Unixen as well, because sync(2) never had the semantics we need: it offers no way to wait for the requested I/O to finish. Along the way, fix a bug I recently introduced in xlog recovery: file truncation replay failed to clear bufmgr buffers for the dropped blocks, which could result in 'PANIC: heap_delete_redo: no block' later on in xlog replay.
* Replace opendir/closedir calls throughout the backend with AllocateDirTom Lane2004-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | and FreeDir routines modeled on the existing AllocateFile/FreeFile. Like the latter, these routines will avoid failing on EMFILE/ENFILE conditions whenever possible, and will prevent leakage of directory descriptors if an elog() occurs while one is open. Also, reduce PANIC to ERROR in MoveOfflineLogs() --- this is not critical code and there is no reason to force a DB restart on failure. All per recent trouble report from Olivier Hubaut.
* Do a direct probe during postmaster startup to determine the maximumTom Lane2004-02-23
| | | | | | number of openable files and the number already opened. This eliminates depending on sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX), and allows much saner behavior on platforms where open-file slots are used up by semaphores.
* Ensure that close() and fclose() are checked for errors, at least inTom Lane2004-01-26
| | | | | | cases involving writes. Per recent discussion about the possibility of close-time failures on some filesystems. There is a TODO item for this, too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier. I've updated the documentation and the regression tests. Notes on the implementation: - I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK? - in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the tupleReceiver code, but it works... The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API -- Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function. In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time, the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent. - (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on -hackers. - (unrelated) Cleaned up some SGML markup in sql.sgml, copy.sgml Neil Conway
* I checked all the previous string handling errors and most of them wereBruce Momjian2002-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch should fix the rest of them. I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all the other code does. I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array. Jukka Holappa
