* Revise the API for GUC variable assign hooks.Tom Lane2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't. Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the "canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do an actual assignment. And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without restarting the server". There may be some speed advantage too, because this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed representation of the value instead). This patch also resolves a longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message about "invalid parameter value".
* Implement genuine serializable isolation level.Heikki Linnakangas2011-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, our Serializable mode has in fact been what's called Snapshot Isolation, which allows some anomalies that could not occur in any serialized ordering of the transactions. This patch fixes that using a method called Serializable Snapshot Isolation, based on research papers by Michael J. Cahill (see README-SSI for full references). In Serializable Snapshot Isolation, transactions run like they do in Snapshot Isolation, but a predicate lock manager observes the reads and writes performed and aborts transactions if it detects that an anomaly might occur. This method produces some false positives, ie. it sometimes aborts transactions even though there is no anomaly. To track reads we implement predicate locking, see storage/lmgr/predicate.c. Whenever a tuple is read, a predicate lock is acquired on the tuple. Shared memory is finite, so when a transaction takes many tuple-level locks on a page, the locks are promoted to a single page-level lock, and further to a single relation level lock if necessary. To lock key values with no matching tuple, a sequential scan always takes a relation-level lock, and an index scan acquires a page-level lock that covers the search key, whether or not there are any matching keys at the moment. A predicate lock doesn't conflict with any regular locks or with another predicate locks in the normal sense. They're only used by the predicate lock manager to detect the danger of anomalies. Only serializable transactions participate in predicate locking, so there should be no extra overhead for for other transactions. Predicate locks can't be released at commit, but must be remembered until all the transactions that overlapped with it have completed. That means that we need to remember an unbounded amount of predicate locks, so we apply a lossy but conservative method of tracking locks for committed transactions. If we run short of shared memory, we overflow to a new "pg_serial" SLRU pool. We don't currently allow Serializable transactions in Hot Standby mode. That would be hard, because even read-only transactions can cause anomalies that wouldn't otherwise occur. Serializable isolation mode now means the new fully serializable level. Repeatable Read gives you the old Snapshot Isolation level that we have always had. Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports, reviewed by Jeff Davis, Heikki Linnakangas and Anssi Kääriäinen
* Code cleanup for assign_transaction_read_only.Robert Haas2011-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | As in commit fb4c5d2798730f60b102d775f22fb53c26a6445d on 2011-01-21, this avoids spurious debug messages and allows idempotent changes at any time. Along the way, make assign_XactIsoLevel allow idempotent changes even when not within a subtransaction, to be consistent with the new coding of assign_transaction_read_only and because there's no compelling reason to do otherwise. Kevin Grittner, with some adjustments.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | displayed in the postmaster log. This avoids Windows-specific problems with localized time zone names that are in the wrong encoding, and generally seems like a good idea to forestall other potential platform-dependent issues. To preserve the existing behavior that all backends will log in the same time zone, create a new GUC variable log_timezone that can only be changed on a system-wide basis, and reference log-related calculations to that zone instead of the TimeZone variable. This fixes the issue reported by Hiroshi Saito that timestamps printed by xlog.c startup could be improperly localized on Windows. We still need a simpler patch for that problem in the back branches, however.

* Repair problem identified by Olivier Prenant: ALTER DATABASE SET search_pathTom Lane2004-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | should not be too eager to reject paths involving unknown schemas, since it can't really tell whether the schemas exist in the target database. (Also, when reading pg_dumpall output, it could be that the schemas don't exist yet, but eventually will.) ALTER USER SET has a similar issue. So, reduce the normal ERROR to a NOTICE when checking search_path values for these commands. Supporting this requires changing the API for GUC assign_hook functions, which causes the patch to touch a lot of places, but the changes are conceptually trivial.

* Cause SHOW DATESTYLE to produce a string that will be accepted by SETTom Lane2003-07-15

* In the continuing saga of FE/BE protocol revisions, add reporting ofTom Lane2003-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | initial values and runtime changes in selected parameters. This gets rid of the need for an initial 'select pg_client_encoding()' query in libpq, bringing us back to one message transmitted in each direction for a standard connection startup. To allow server version to be sent using the same GUC mechanism that handles other parameters, invent the concept of a never-settable GUC parameter: you can 'show server_version' but it's not settable by any GUC input source. Create 'lc_collate' and 'lc_ctype' never-settable parameters so that people can find out these settings without need for pg_controldata. (These side ideas were all discussed some time ago in pgsql-hackers, but not yet implemented.)

| | | | | | | | | GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction. All per previous discussions in pghackers.

* Accept an INTERVAL argument for SET TIME ZONE per SQL99.Thomas G. Lockhart2001-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modified the parser and the SET handlers to use full Node structures rather than simply a character string argument. Implement INTERVAL() YEAR TO MONTH (etc) syntax per SQL99. Does not yet accept the goofy string format that goes along with, but this should be fairly straight forward to fix now as a bug or later as a feature. Implement precision for the INTERVAL() type. Use the typmod mechanism for both of INTERVAL features. Fix the INTERVAL syntax in the parser: opt_interval was in the wrong place. INTERVAL is now a reserved word, otherwise we get reduce/reduce errors. Implement an explicit date_part() function for TIMETZ. Should fix coersion problem with INTERVAL reported by Peter E. Fix up some error messages for date/time types. Use all caps for type names within message. Fix recently introduced side-effect bug disabling 'epoch' as a recognized field for date_part() etc. Reported by Peter E. (??) Bump catalog version number. Rename "microseconds" current transaction time field from ...Msec to ...Usec. Duh! date/time regression tests updated for reference platform, but a few changes will be necessary for others.
* Fix breakage I introduced yesterday in MULTIBYTE compilations.Tom Lane2000-10-26

* Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on somePeter Eisentraut2000-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this. Removed permissions check on SHOW command. Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the official data model better. Adjust documentation. Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself, don't wait for the magic -p switch. Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary. Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode 0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.

* 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)
* Get rid of postgres.c's separate parsing logic for PGDATESTYLE env.Tom Lane2000-02-19
| | | | | | | | | variable, instead calling same code in variable.c that is used to parse SET DATESTYLE. Fix bug: although backend's startup datestyle had been changed to ISO, 'RESET DATESTYLE' and 'SET DATESTYLE TO DEFAULT' didn't know about it. For consistency I have made the latter two reset to the PGDATESTYLE-defined initial value, which may not be the same as the compiled-in default of ISO.

| | | | | | | | | As Bruce mentioned, this is due to the conflict among changes we made. Included patches should fix the problem(I changed all MB to MULTIBYTE). Please let me know if you have further problem. P.S. I did not include pathces to configure and gram.c to save the file size(configure.in and gram.y modified).

* Hi, here are the patches to enhance existing MB handling. This timeBruce Momjian1998-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting command: SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding'; Other features include: Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness See doc/README.mb for more details.
