| | | | | | | | | This one should work much better than the one I sent in previously. The functionality is the same, but the patch was missing one file resulting in the compilation failing. The docs also received a minor fix. Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115
* Add permissions check: now one must be the Postgres superuser or theTom Lane1999-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | table owner in order to vacuum a table. This is mainly to prevent denial-of-service attacks via repeated vacuums. Allow VACUUM to gather statistics about system relations, except for pg_statistic itself --- not clear that it's worth the trouble to make that case work cleanly. Cope with possible tuple size overflow in pg_statistic tuples; I'm surprised we never realized that could happen. Hold a couple of locks a little longer to try to prevent deadlocks between concurrent VACUUMs. There still seem to be some problems in that last area though :-(

* Remove pg_vlock locking from VACUUM, allowing multiple VACUUMs to run inTom Lane1999-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | parallel --- and, not incidentally, removing a common reason for needing manual cleanup by the DB admin after a crash. Remove initial global delete of pg_statistics rows in VACUUM ANALYZE; this was not only bad for performance of other backends that had to run without stats for a while, but it was fundamentally broken because it was done outside any transaction. Surprising we didn't see more consequences of that. Detect attempt to run VACUUM inside a transaction block. Check for query cancel request before starting vacuum of each table. Clean up vacuum's private portal storage if vacuum is aborted.
* Delete pg_statistics rows for a relation during heap_destroy_with_catalog.Tom Lane1999-11-28
| | | | | | | | By dropping stats rows here, we eliminate the need for VACUUM to do a wholesale remove of stats rows. Before, pg_statistics was wiped clean at the start of VACUUM, ensuring poor planning results for any backends running in parallel until VACUUM got around to rebuilding the stats for the relations they are accessing.

* Add system indexes to match all caches.Bruce Momjian1999-11-22
| | | | | | | Make all system indexes unique. Make all cache loads use system indexes. Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables. Rename cache names to be clearer.
* Clean up some problems in error recovery --- elog() was pretty brokenTom Lane1999-11-22
| | | | | | for the case of errors in backend startup, and proc_exit's method for coping with errors during proc_exit was *completely* busted. Fixed per discussions on pghackers around 11/6/99.
* Come to think of it, DropBuffers() could have the same problem asTom Lane1999-11-22
| | | | | ReleaseRelationBuffers --- need to wait if anyone is trying to flush out that buffer.
* ReleaseRelationBuffers() failed to check for I/O in progress on a bufferTom Lane1999-11-22
| | | | | | | it wants to release. This leads to a race condition: does the backend that's trying to flush the buffer do so before the one that's deleting the relation does so? Usually no problem, I expect, but on occasion this could lead to hard-to-reproduce complaints from md.c, especially mdblindwrt.
* Combine index_info and find_secondary_indexes into a single routine thatTom Lane1999-11-21
| | | | | | | | | returns a list of RelOptInfos, eliminating the need for static state in index_info. That static state was a direct cause of coredumps; if anything decided to elog(ERROR) partway through an index_info search of pg_index, the next query would try to close a scan pointer that was pointing at no-longer-valid memory. Another example of the reasons to avoid static state variables...
* index_destroy() must grab exclusive access to the parent tableTom Lane1999-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | of the index it wants to destroy. This ensures that no other backend is actively scanning or updating that index. Getting exclusive access on the index alone is NOT sufficient, because the executor is rather cavalier about getting locks on indexes --- see ExecOpenIndices(). It might be better to grab index locks in the executor, but I'm not sure the extra lockmanager traffic is really worth it just to make index_destroy cleaner.
* Change backend-side COPY to write files with permissions 644 not 666Tom Lane1999-11-21
| | | | | | | | | (whoever thought world-writable files were a good default????). Modify the pg_pwd code so that pg_pwd is created with 600 permissions. Modify initdb so that permissions on a pre-existing PGDATA directory are not blindly accepted: if the dir is already there, it does chmod go-rwx to be sure that the permissions are OK and the dir actually is owned by postgres.
* Repair problem exposed by Jan's new parallel-regression-test scaffold:Tom Lane1999-11-21
| | | | | | | inval.c thought it could safely use the catcache to look up the OIDs of system relations. Not good, considering that inval.c could be called during catcache loading, if a shared-inval message arrives. Rip out the lookup logic and instead use the known OIDs from pg_class.h.
* Fix problems with CURRENT_DATE and related functions being used inTom Lane1999-11-20
| | | | | | | | table defaults or rules: translate them to a function call so that parse_coerce doesn't reduce them to a date or time constant immediately. Also, eliminate a lot of redundancy in the expression grammar by defining a new nonterminal com_expr, which contains all the productions that can be shared by a_expr and b_expr.

* Fix lookup of temp table names that I missed yesterday.Bruce Momjian1999-11-16
|
* Modify elog() logic so that it won't try to longjmp(Warn_restart) beforeTom Lane1999-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | Warn_restart has been set by the backend main loop. This means that elog(ERROR) or elog(FATAL) in the postmaster or during backend startup now have well-defined behavior: proc_exit() rather than coredump. In the case of elog() inside the postmaster, I think that proc_exit() is probably not enough --- don't we want our child backends to be forced to quit too? But I don't understand Vadim's recent changes in this area, so I'll leave it to him to look over and tweak if needed.

* Implement subselects in target lists. Also, relax requirement thatTom Lane1999-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | subselects can only appear on the righthand side of a binary operator. That's still true for quantified predicates like x = ANY (SELECT ...), but a subselect that delivers a single result can now appear anywhere in an expression. This is implemented by changing EXPR_SUBLINK sublinks to represent just the (SELECT ...) expression, without any 'left hand side' or combining operator --- so they're now more like EXISTS_SUBLINK. To handle the case of '(x, y, z) = (SELECT ...)', I added a new sublink type MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK, which acts just like EXPR_SUBLINK used to. But the grammar will only generate one for a multiple-left-hand-side row expression.
