* Tweak dynahash.c to avoid wasting memory space in non-shared hash tables.Tom Lane2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | palloc() will normally round allocation requests up to the next power of 2, so make dynahash choose allocation sizes that are as close to a power of 2 as possible. Back-patch to 8.1 --- the problem exists further back, but a much larger patch would be needed and it doesn't seem worth taking any risks.

* Fix Win32/Cygwin problems:Bruce Momjian2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | After updating to the latest cvs, and also building most of the addons (like PLs), the following patch is neededf for win32 + Visual C++. * Switch to use the new win32 semaphore code * Rename win32_open to pgwin32_open. win32_open collides with symbols defined in Perl. MingW didn't detect ig, MSVC did. And it's a bit too generic a name to export globally, imho... * Python defines some partially broken #pragmas in the headers when doing a debug build. Workaround. Magnus Hagander

* Remove redundant gettimeofday() calls to the extent practical withoutTom Lane2006-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | changing semantics too much. statement_timestamp is now set immediately upon receipt of a client command message, and the various places that used to do their own gettimeofday() calls to mark command startup are referenced to that instead. I have also made stats_command_string use that same value for pg_stat_activity.query_start for both the command itself and its eventual replacement by <IDLE> or <idle in transaction>. There was some debate about that, but no argument that seemed convincing enough to justify an extra gettimeofday() call.
* Split definitions for md5.c out of crypt.h and into their own headerTom Lane2006-06-20
| | | | | | | | | libpq/md5.h, so that there's a clear separation between backend-only definitions and shared frontend/backend definitions. (Turns out this is reversing a bad decision from some years ago...) Fix up references to crypt.h as needed. I looked into moving the code into src/port, but the headers in src/include/libpq are sufficiently intertwined that it seems more work than it's worth to do that.
* Take the statistics collector out of the loop for monitoring backends'Tom Lane2006-06-19
| | | | | | | current commands; instead, store current-status information in shared memory. This substantially reduces the overhead of stats_command_string and also ensures that pg_stat_activity is fully up to date at all times. Per my recent proposal.
* Don't try to call posix_fadvise() unless <fcntl.h> supplies a declarationTom Lane2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | for it. Hopefully will fix core dump evidenced by some buildfarm members since fadvise patch went in. The actual definition of the function is not ABI-compatible with compiler's default assumption in the absence of any declaration, so it's clearly unsafe to try to call it without seeing a declaration.

* 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
* Remove the limit on the number of entries allowed in catcaches, andTom Lane2006-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | remove the infrastructure needed to enforce the limit, ie, the global LRU list of cache entries. On small-to-middling databases this wins because maintaining the LRU list is a waste of time. On large databases this wins because it's better to keep more cache entries (we assume such users can afford to use some more per-backend memory than was contemplated in the Berkeley-era catcache design). This provides a noticeable improvement in the speed of psql \d on a 10000-table database, though it doesn't make it instantaneous. While at it, use per-catcache settings for the number of hash buckets per catcache, rather than the former one-size-fits-all value. It's a bit silly to be using the same number of hash buckets for, eg, pg_am and pg_attribute. The specific values I used might need some tuning, but they seem to be in the right ballpark based on CATCACHE_STATS results from the standard regression tests.
* Revert sampling patch for EXPLAIN ANALYZE; it turns out to be too unreliableTom Lane2006-06-09

* Make the planner estimate costs for nestloop inner indexscans on the basisTom Lane2006-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | that the Mackert-Lohmann formula applies across all the repetitions of the nestloop, not just each scan independently. We use the M-L formula to estimate the number of pages fetched from the index as well as from the table; that isn't what it was designed for, but it seems reasonably applicable anyway. This makes large numbers of repetitions look much cheaper than before, which accords with many reports we've received of overestimation of the cost of a nestloop. Also, change the index access cost model to charge random_page_cost per index leaf page touched, while explicitly not counting anything for access to metapage or upper tree pages. This may all need tweaking after we get some field experience, but in simple tests it seems to be giving saner results than before. The main thing is to get the infrastructure in place to let cost_index() and amcostestimate functions take repeated scans into account at all. Per my recent proposal. Note: this patch changes pg_proc.h, but I did not force initdb because the changes are basically cosmetic --- the system does not look into pg_proc to decide how to call an index amcostestimate function, and there's no way to call such a function from SQL at all.
* Remove ancient AIX structure workaround.Bruce Momjian2006-06-06

* Increase the default value of cpu_index_tuple_cost from 0.001 to 0.005.Tom Lane2006-06-05
| | | | | | This shouldn't affect simple indexscans much, while for bitmap scans that are touching a lot of index rows, this seems to bring the estimates more in line with reality. Per recent discussion.
* Add a GUC parameter seq_page_cost, and use that everywhere we formerlyTom Lane2006-06-05
| | | | | | | | assumed that a sequential page fetch has cost 1.0. This patch doesn't in itself change the system's behavior at all, but it opens the door to people adopting other units of measurement for EXPLAIN costs. Also, if we ever decide it's worth inventing per-tablespace access cost settings, this change provides a workable intellectual framework for that.
* Make PG_MODULE_MAGIC required in shared libraries that are loaded intoTom Lane2006-05-31
| | | | | the server. Per discussion, there seems no point in a waiting period before making this required.
* Code review for magic-block patch. Remove separate header file pgmagic.h,Tom Lane2006-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | as this seems only likely to create headaches for module developers. Put the macro in the pre-existing fmgr.h file instead. Avoid being too cute about how many fields we can cram into a word, and avoid trying to fetch from a library we've already unlinked. Along the way, it occurred to me that the magic block really ought to be 'const' so it can be stored in the program text area. Do the same for the existing data blocks for PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 functions.
* Code review for EXPLAIN patch. Fix some typos, make it behave sanelyTom Lane2006-05-30
| | | | | across multiple loops, get rid of the shaky assumption that exactly one tuple is returned per node iteration.
* Add pgmagic header block to store compile-time constants:Bruce Momjian2006-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It now only checks four things: Major version number (7.4 or 8.1 for example) NAMEDATALEN FUNC_MAX_ARGS INDEX_MAX_KEYS The three constants were chosen because: 1. We document them in the config page in the docs 2. We mark them as changable in pg_config_manual.h 3. Changing any of these will break some of the more popular modules: FUNC_MAX_ARGS changes fmgr interface, every module uses this NAMEDATALEN changes syscache interface, every PL as well as tsearch uses this INDEX_MAX_KEYS breaks tsearch and anything using GiST.

* Patch reverted because of random buildfarm failures:Bruce Momjian2006-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delay write of pg_stats file to once every five minutes, during shutdown, or when requested by a backend: It changes so the file is only written once every 5 minutes (changeable of course, I just picked something) instead of once every half second. It's still written when the stats collector shuts down, just as before. And it is now also written on backend request. A backend requests a rewrite by simply sending a special stats message. It operates on the assumption that the backends aren't actually going to read the statistics file very often, compared to how frequent it's written today. Magnus Hagander
* Som improve page split in multicolumn GiST index.Teodor Sigaev2006-05-29
| | | | | | If user picksplit on n-th column generate equals left and right unions then it calls picksplit on n+1-th column.
* Fix up pg_dump to do string escaping fully correctly for client encodingTom Lane2006-05-28
| | | | | | | | | and standard_conforming_strings; likewise for the other client programs that need it. As per previous discussion, a pg_dump dump now conforms to the standard_conforming_strings setting of the source database. We don't use E'' syntax in the dump, thereby improving portability of the SQL. I added a SET escape_strings_warning = off command to keep the dumps from getting a lot of back-chatter from that.
* Remove traces of otherwise unused RELKIND_SPECIAL symbol. Leave the psql bitsAlvaro Herrera2006-05-28
| | | | | | in place though, so that it plays nicely with older servers. Per discussion.
* Re-introduce the yylex filter function formerly used to support UNIONTom Lane2006-05-27
| | | | | | | JOIN, which I removed in a recent fit of over-optimism that we wouldn't have any future use for it. Now it's needed to support disambiguating WITH CHECK OPTION from WITH TIME ZONE. As proof of concept, add stub grammar productions for WITH CHECK OPTION.
* Use E'' strings internally only when standard_conforming_strings =Bruce Momjian2006-05-26
| | | | | | | | | 'off'. This allows pg_dump output with standard_conforming_strings = 'on' to generate proper strings that can be loaded into other databases without the backslash doubling we typically do. I have added the dumping of the standard_conforming_strings value to pg_dump. I also added standard backslash handling for plpgsql.
* * Add support NULL to GiST.Teodor Sigaev2006-05-24
| | | | | | | | * some refactoring and simplify code int gistutil.c and gist.c * now in some cases it can be called used-defined picksplit method for non-first column in index, but here is a place to do more. * small fix of docs related to support NULL.
* Tweak writetup_heap/readtup_heap to avoid storing the tuple identityTom Lane2006-05-23
| | | | | | | | and transaction visibility fields of tuples being sorted. These are always uninteresting in a tuple being sorted (if the fields were actually selected, they'd have been pulled out into user columns beforehand). This saves about 24 bytes per row being sorted, which is a useful savings for any but the widest of sort rows. Per recent discussion.
* Avoid duplicate definition of LOCALEDIR in pg_config.h, already definedBruce Momjian2006-05-23

* Remove CXT_printf/CXT1_printf macros. If anyone had found them to be ofTom Lane2006-05-23
| | | | | | | | | any use in the past many years, we'd have made some effort to include them in all executor node types; but in fact they were only in nodeAppend.c and nodeIndexscan.c, up until I copied nodeIndexscan.c's occurrence into the new bitmap node types. Remove some other unused macros in execdebug.h, too. Some day the whole header probably ought to go away in favor of better-designed facilities.
* Add a new GUC parameter backslash_quote, which determines whether the SQLTom Lane2006-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parser will allow "\'" to be used to represent a literal quote mark. The "\'" representation has been deprecated for some time in favor of the SQL-standard representation "''" (two single quote marks), but it has been used often enough that just disallowing it immediately won't do. Hence backslash_quote allows the settings "on", "off", and "safe_encoding", the last meaning to allow "\'" only if client_encoding is a valid server encoding. That is now the default, and the reason is that in encodings such as SJIS that allow 0x5c (ASCII backslash) to be the last byte of a multibyte character, accepting "\'" allows SQL-injection attacks as per CVE-2006-2314 (further details will be published after release). The "on" setting is available for backward compatibility, but it must not be used with clients that are exposed to untrusted input. Thanks to Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki for identifying this security issue.
* Change the backend to reject strings containing invalidly-encoded multibyteTom Lane2006-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | characters in all cases. Formerly we mostly just threw warnings for invalid input, and failed to detect it at all if no encoding conversion was required. The tighter check is needed to defend against SQL-injection attacks as per CVE-2006-2313 (further details will be published after release). Embedded zero (null) bytes will be rejected as well. The checks are applied during input to the backend (receipt from client or COPY IN), so it no longer seems necessary to check in textin() and related routines; any string arriving at those functions will already have been validated. Conversion failure reporting (for characters with no equivalent in the destination encoding) has been cleaned up and made consistent while at it. Also, fix a few longstanding errors in little-used encoding conversion routines: win1251_to_iso, win866_to_iso, euc_tw_to_big5, euc_tw_to_mic, mic_to_euc_tw were all broken to varying extents. Patches by Tatsuo Ishii and Tom Lane. Thanks to Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki for identifying the security issues.

* Clean up code associated with updating pg_class statistics columnsTom Lane2006-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | (relpages/reltuples). To do this, create formal support in heapam.c for "overwrite" tuple updates (including xlog replay capability) and use that instead of the ad-hoc overwrites we'd been using in VACUUM and CREATE INDEX. Take the responsibility for updating stats during CREATE INDEX out of the individual index AMs, and do it where it belongs, in catalog/index.c. Aside from being more modular, this avoids having to update the same tuple twice in some paths through CREATE INDEX. It's probably not measurably faster, but for sure it's a lot cleaner than before.
