* Add REL9_1_STABLE to the set of branches tracked by git_changelog.Tom Lane2011-06-19
|
* Fix thinko in previous patch to always update pg_class.reltuples/relpages.Tom Lane2011-06-19
| | | | | | I mis-simplified the test where ANALYZE decided if it could get away without doing anything: under the new regime, that's never allowed. Per bug #6068 from Jeff Janes. Back-patch to 8.4, just like previous patch.
* Capitalization fixesPeter Eisentraut2011-06-19

* Make external_pid_file world readablePeter Eisentraut2011-06-19
|
* Remove redundant lib*dll.def rules from .gitignoreMagnus Hagander2011-06-18
| | | | | | | Since we now have a global rule in the root .gitignore, there's no need to keep directory-specific ones as well. Noted by Peter Eisentraut
* Set FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER to empty for MSVC.Andrew Dunstan2011-06-17
| | | | | Per gripe from Tom Lane. I have tested this with VC 2008, and assume it will work with earlier versions.
* Obtain table locks as soon as practical during pg_dump.Tom Lane2011-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | For some reason, when we (I) added table lock acquisition to pg_dump, we didn't think about making it happen as soon as possible after the start of the transaction. What with subsequent additions, there was actually quite a lot going on before we got around to that; which sort of defeats the purpose. Rearrange the order of calls in dumpSchema() to close the risk window as much as we easily can. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Add overflow checks to int4 and int8 versions of generate_series().Robert Haas2011-06-17
| | | | | | | | | The previous code went into an infinite loop after overflow. In fact, an overflow is not really an error; it just means that the current value is the last one we need to return. So, just arrange to stop immediately when overflow is detected. Back-patch all the way.
* Fix crash in CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE.Robert Haas2011-06-17
| | | | | | | | | The code that created the init fork neglected to make sure that the relation was open at the smgr level before attempting to invoke smgr. This didn't happen every time; only when the relcache entry was rebuilt along the way. Per report from Garick Hamlin.
* Fix minor thinko in ProcGlobalShmemSize().Robert Haas2011-06-17
| | | | | | | | | There's no need to add space for startupBufferPinWaitBufId, because it's part of the PROC_HDR object for which this function already allocates space. This has been wrong for a while, but the only consequence is that our shared memory allocation is increased by 4 bytes, so no back-patch.
* Define FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER for MSVC.Andrew Dunstan2011-06-16
|
* Index tuple data arrays using Anum_xxx symbolic constants instead of "i++".Tom Lane2011-06-16
| | | | | | | | | We had already converted most places to this style, but this patch gets the last few that were still doing it the old way. The main advantage is that this exposes a greppable name for each target column, rather than having to rely on comments (which a couple of places failed to provide anyhow). Richard Hopkins, additional work by me to clean up update_attstats() too
* Avoid compiler warnings due to possibly unused variablesPeter Eisentraut2011-06-16
| | | | | | gcc 4.6 complains about these because of the new option -Wunused-but-set-variable which comes in with -Wall, so cast them to void, which avoids the warning.
* Start using flexible array membersPeter Eisentraut2011-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | Flexible array members are a C99 feature that avoids "cheating" in the declaration of variable-length arrays at the end of structs. With Autoconf support, this should be transparent for older compilers. We start with one use in gist.h because gcc 4.6 started to raise a warning there. Over time, it can be expanded to other places in the source, but they will likely need some review of sizeof and offsetof usage. The current change in gist.h appears to be safe in this regard.
* Update README-SSI. Add a section to describe the "dangerous structure" thatHeikki Linnakangas2011-06-16
| | | | | | | | SSI is based on, as well as the optimizations about relative commit times and read-only transactions. Plus a bunch of other misc fixes and improvements. Dan Ports

* Respect Hot Standby controls while recycling btree index pages.Simon Riggs2011-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Btree pages were recycled after VACUUM deletes all records on a page and then a subsequent VACUUM occurs after the RecentXmin horizon is reached. Using RecentXmin meant that we did not respond correctly to the user controls provide to avoid Hot Standby conflicts and so spurious conflicts could be generated in some workload combinations. We now reuse pages only when we reach RecentGlobalXmin, which can be much later in the presence of long running queries and is also controlled by vacuum_defer_cleanup_age and hot_standby_feedback. Noah Misch and Simon Riggs
* Use single quotes in preference to double quotes for protecting pathnames.Tom Lane2011-06-15
| | | | | | Per recommendation from Peter. Neither choice is bulletproof, but this is the existing style and it does help prevent unexpected environment variable substitution.
* Rework parsing of ConstraintAttributeSpec to improve NOT VALID handling.Tom Lane2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | The initial commit of the ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY NOT VALID feature failed to support labeling such constraints as deferrable. The best fix for this seems to be to fold NOT VALID into ConstraintAttributeSpec. That's a bit more general than the documented syntax, but it allows better-targeted syntax error messages. In addition, do some mostly-but-not-entirely-cosmetic code review for the whole NOT VALID patch.
* Fix failure to account for memory used by tuplestore_putvalues().Tom Lane2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This oversight could result in a tuplestore using much more than the intended amount of memory. It would only happen in a code path that loaded a tuplestore via tuplestore_putvalues(), and many of those won't emit huge amounts of data; but cases such as holdable cursors and plpgsql's RETURN NEXT command could have the problem. The fix ensures that the tuplestore will switch to write-to-disk mode when it overruns work_mem. The potential overrun was finite, because we would still count the space used by the tuple pointer array, so the tuplestore code would eventually flip into write-to-disk mode anyway. When storing wide tuples we would go far past the expected work_mem usage before that happened; but this may account for the lack of prior reports. Back-patch to 8.4, where tuplestore_putvalues was introduced. Per bug #6061 from Yann Delorme.
* Fix oversights in pg_basebackup's -z (compression) option.Tom Lane2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | The short-form -z switch didn't work, for lack of telling getopt_long about it; and even if specified long-form, it failed to do anything, because the various tests elsewhere in the file would take Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION (which is -1) as meaning "don't compress". Per bug #6060 from Shigehiro Honda, though I editorialized on his patch a bit.
* The rolled-back flag on serializable xacts was pointless and redundant withHeikki Linnakangas2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | the marked-for-death flag. It was only set for a fleeting moment while a transaction was being cleaned up at rollback. All the places that checked for the rolled-back flag should also check the marked-for-death flag, as both flags mean that the transaction will roll back. I also renamed the marked-for-death into "doomed", which is a lot shorter name.
* Make non-MVCC snapshots exempt from predicate locking. Scans with non-MVCCHeikki Linnakangas2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | snapshots, like in REINDEX, are basically non-transactional operations. The DDL operation itself might participate in SSI, but there's separate functions for that. Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports, with some changes by me.
* Allow psql \d tab completion to complete all relation kindsPeter Eisentraut2011-06-14
| | | | This matches what \d actually accepts.
* Fix assorted issues with build and install paths containing spaces.Tom Lane2011-06-14
| | | | | | Apparently there is no buildfarm critter exercising this case after all, because it fails in several places. With this patch, build, install, check-world, and installcheck-world pass for me on OS X.
* Remove unused variablePeter Eisentraut2011-06-14
| | | | | | The variable became obsolete in commit 68739ba856c52e6721d6cffec21f1bf0327a9a7b, but only gcc 4.6 shows the warning.
* Add comment that attributes.is_nullable was removed from SQL standardPeter Eisentraut2011-06-14
| | | | | | We don't have to remove the column if no one is bothered, but it's useful to comment on it in case someone looks for it in newer standards versions.
* Oops, forgot to change the order of entries in 2PC callback arrays when IHeikki Linnakangas2011-06-14

* Renumber 2PC resource managers so that compared to 9.0, predicate lock rmgrHeikki Linnakangas2011-06-14
| | | | | | | | | is added to the end, and existing resource managers keep their old ids. We're not going to guarantee on-disk compatibility for 2PC state files over major releases, but it seems better to avoid changing the ids them anyway. It will help anyone who might want to write external tools to inspect the state files to work with files from different versions, if nothing else. Per complaint from Tom Lane.
* Move parse2.pl to parse.plPeter Eisentraut2011-06-14
| | | | We have a SCM, so we don't need to keep old versions of files around.

* Code cleanup for InitProcGlobal.Robert Haas2011-06-12
| | | | | | | | | The old code creates three separate arrays when only one is needed, using two different shmem allocation functions for no obvious reason. It also strangely splits up the initialization of AuxilaryProcs between the top and bottom of the function to no evident purpose. Review by Tom Lane.
* Tab completion improvements for COMMENT.Robert Haas2011-06-11
| | | | | | These pertain to object types introduced in PostgreSQL 9.1, so back-patch. Josh Kupershmidt, with some kibitzing by me.

* Work around gcc 4.6.0 bug that breaks WAL replay.Tom Lane2011-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ReadRecord's habit of using both direct references to tmpRecPtr and references to *RecPtr (which is pointing at tmpRecPtr) triggers an optimization bug in gcc 4.6.0, which apparently has forgotten about aliasing rules. Avoid the compiler bug, and make the code more readable to boot, by getting rid of the direct references. Improve the comments while at it. Back-patch to all supported versions, in case they get built with 4.6.0. Tom Lane, with some cosmetic suggestions from Alex Hunsaker
* Fix locking while setting flags in MySerializableXact.Heikki Linnakangas2011-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even if a flag is modified only by the backend owning the transaction, it's not safe to modify it without a lock. Another backend might be setting or clearing a different flag in the flags field concurrently, and that operation might be lost because setting or clearing a bit in a word is not atomic. Make did-write flag a simple backend-private boolean variable, because it was only set or tested in the owning backend (except when committing a prepared transaction, but it's not worthwhile to optimize for the case of a read-only prepared transaction). This also eliminates the need to add locking where that flag is set. Also, set the did-write flag when doing DDL operations like DROP TABLE or TRUNCATE -- that was missed earlier.
* Add comment about pg_ctl stopAlvaro Herrera2011-06-10

* Use "transient" files for blind writes, take 2Alvaro Herrera2011-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Blind writes" are a mechanism to push buffers down to disk when evicting them; since they may belong to different databases than the one a backend is connected to, the backend does not necessarily have a relation to link them to, and thus no way to blow them away. We were keeping those files open indefinitely, which would cause a problem if the underlying table was deleted, because the operating system would not be able to reclaim the disk space used by those files. To fix, have bufmgr mark such files as transient to smgr; the lower layer is allowed to close the file descriptor when the current transaction ends. We must be careful to have any other access of the file to remove the transient markings, to prevent unnecessary expensive system calls when evicting buffers belonging to our own database (which files we're likely to require again soon.) This commit fixes a bug in the previous one, which neglected to cleanly handle the LRU ring that fd.c uses to manage open files, and caused an unacceptable failure just before beta2 and was thus reverted.

| | | | | | This reverts commit 54d9e8c6c19cbefa8fb42ed3442a0a5327590ed3, which caused a failure on the buildfarm. Not a good thing to have just before a beta release.

* Fix the truncation logic of the OldSerXid SLRU mechanism. We can't passHeikki Linnakangas2011-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SimpleLruTruncate() a page number that's "in the future", because it will issue a warning and refuse to truncate anything. Instead, we leave behind the latest segment. If the slru is not needed before XID wrap-around, the segment will appear as new again, and not be cleaned up until it gets old enough again. That's a bit unpleasant, but better than not cleaning up anything. Also, fix broken calculation to check and warn if the span of the OldSerXid SLRU is getting too large to fit in the 64k SLRU pages that we have available. It was not XID wraparound aware. Kevin Grittner and me.
