* The 8.2 patch that added support for an alias on the target table ofTom Lane2008-05-03
| | | | | UPDATE/DELETE forgot to teach ruleutils.c to display the alias. Per bug #4141 from Mathias Seiler.

* Provide for MSVC config equivalents of recently added configure options. RemoveAndrew Dunstan2008-05-03
| | | | | | | any hardcoding of those options. Along the way, reorder the expression used to calculate RELSEG_SIZE to make it slightly clearer. For now wal_segsize is only allowed to have a value of 1 on Windows - we can relax that when we get full large file support in the backend.

| | | | | | let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure. Per a proposal by Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather than "xlog".

* One-letter backslash commands now need a space before the first argument.Peter Eisentraut2008-05-02
| | | | | | | | This has been the only documented and encouraged syntax for a long time, and with extension facilities such as aliases being proposed, it is a good time to clean up the legacy syntax a bit. Author: Bernd Helmle <mailings@oopsware.de>
* Sigh ... pg_config.h.win32 needs to define BLCKSZ and RELSEG_SIZE now.Tom Lane2008-05-02

* Remove the recently added USE_SEGMENTED_FILES option, and indeed remove allTom Lane2008-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c. Per recent discussions, there doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to segmenting with a suitably large segment size. So instead provide a configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes. While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well. Zdenek Kotala
* Add SGT (Singapore time) to the default list of known timezoneTom Lane2008-05-01

* Make the minimum allowed value of work_mem be 64KB always, rather than havingTom Lane2008-05-01
| | | | | | it vary with BLCKSZ as before. This agrees with what the documentation says, and avoids a regression test problem when BLCKSZ is larger than default. Per recent discussion.
* Fix nodeTidscan.c to not trigger an error if the block number portion ofTom Lane2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | a user-supplied TID is out of range for the relation. This is needed to preserve compatibility with our pre-8.3 behavior, and it is sensible anyway since if the query were implemented by brute force rather than optimized into a TidScan, the behavior for a non-existent TID would be zero rows out, never an error. Per gripe from Gurjeet Singh.
* Some minor further cleanup around A_Const. Don't attach a typecast inTom Lane2008-04-29
| | | | | makeFloatConst, and avoid "manual" construction of A_Const nodes in grammar productions, in favor of using makeXXXConst subroutines.
* Fix REASSIGN OWNED so that it works on procedural languages too.Alvaro Herrera2008-04-29
| | | | | | | The capability for changing language owners is new in 8.3, so that's how far back this needs to be backpatched. Per bug #4132 by Kirill Simonov.

* Code review for recent patch to terminate online backup during shutdown:Tom Lane2008-04-26
| | | | | do CancelBackup at a sane place, fix some oversights in the state transitions, allow only superusers to connect while we are waiting for backup mode to end.
* Remove transformAlterTableStmt's kluge to replace ColumnDef.is_not_nullTom Lane2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | flags by separate AT_SetNotNull subcommands. That was always ugly and inefficient, and it's now clear that it was merely a partial workaround for the bug just identified in ATExecAddColumn. This is just code beautification not a bug fix, so no back-patch. Brendan Jurd, with some trivial additional cleanup by me.
* Fix ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN ... PRIMARY KEY so that the new column is correctlyTom Lane2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | checked to see if it's been initialized to all non-nulls. The implicit NOT NULL constraint was not being checked during the ALTER (in fact, not even if there was an explicit NOT NULL too), because ATExecAddColumn neglected to set the flag needed to make the test happen. This has been broken since the capability was first added, in 8.0. Brendan Jurd, per a report from Kaloyan Iliev.

* Fix using too many LWLocks bug, reported by Craig RingerTeodor Sigaev2008-04-22
| | | | | | | | | <craig@postnewspapers.com.au>. It was my mistake, I missed limitation of number of held locks, now GIN doesn't use continiuous locks, but still hold buffers pinned to prevent interference with vacuum's deletion algorithm. Backpatch is needed.

* Issue explicit error messages for attempts to use "shell" operators inTom Lane2008-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | ordinary expressions. This probably doesn't catch every single case where you might get "cache lookup failed for function 0" for use of a shell operator, but it will catch most. Per bug #4120 from Pedro Gimeno. This patch incidentally folds make_op_expr() into its sole remaining caller --- the alternative was to give it yet more arguments, which didn't seem an improvement.
* Fix convert_IN_to_join to properly handle the case where the subselect'sTom Lane2008-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | output is not of the same type that's needed for the IN comparison (ie, where the parser inserted an implicit coercion above the subselect result). We should record the coerced expression, not just a raw Var referencing the subselect output, as the quantity that needs to be unique-ified if we choose to implement the IN as Unique followed by a plain join. As of 8.3 this error was causing crashes, as seen in bug #4113 from Javier Hernandez, because the executor was being told to hash or sort the raw subselect output column using operators appropriate to the coerced type. In prior versions there was no crash because the executor chose the hash or sort operators for itself based on the column type it saw. However, that's still not really right, because what's unique for one data type might not be unique for another. In corner cases we could get multiple outputs of a row that should appear only once, as demonstrated by the regression test case included in this commit. However, this patch doesn't apply cleanly to 8.2 or before, and the code involved has shifted enough over time that I'm hesitant to try to back-patch. Given the lack of complaints from the field about such corner cases, I think the bug may not be important enough to risk breaking other things with a back-patch.

* Fix a couple of places in execMain that erroneously assumed that SELECT FORTom Lane2008-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | UPDATE/SHARE couldn't occur as a subquery in a query with a non-SELECT top-level operation. Symptoms included outright failure (as in report from Mark Mielke) and silently neglecting to take the requested row locks. Back-patch to 8.3, because the visible failure in the INSERT ... SELECT case is a regression from 8.2. I'm a bit hesitant to back-patch further given the lack of field complaints.
* Add FLOAT4PASSBYVAL/FLOAT8PASSBYVAL to pg_config.h.win32, as a stopgapTom Lane2008-04-21

* Allow float8, int8, and related datatypes to be passed by value on machinesTom Lane2008-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | where Datum is 8 bytes wide. Since this will break old-style C functions (those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change. Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.
* Fix broken compare function for tsquery_ops. Per Tom's report.Teodor Sigaev2008-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | I never understood why initial authors GiST in pgsql choose so stgrange signature for 'same' method: bool *sameFn(Datum a, Datum b, bool* result) instead of simple, logical bool sameFn(Datum a, Datum b) This change will break any existing GiST extension, so we still live with it and will live.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | uses of the long-deprecated float32 in contrib/seg; the definitions themselves are still there, but no longer used. fmgr/README updated to match. I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions. At the same time, remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared STRICT). I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too. The choices for representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-( Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.
* Fix rmtree() so that it keeps going after failure to remove any individualTom Lane2008-04-18
| | | | | | file; the idea is that we should clean up as much as we can, even if there's some problem removing one file. Make the error messages a bit less misleading, too. In passing, const-ify function arguments.
* Fix two race conditions between the pending unlink mechanism that was put inHeikki Linnakangas2008-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | place to prevent reusing relation OIDs before next checkpoint, and DROP DATABASE. First, if a database was dropped, bgwriter would still try to unlink the files that the rmtree() call by the DROP DATABASE command has already deleted, or is just about to delete. Second, if a database is dropped, and another database is created with the same OID, bgwriter would in the worst case delete a relation in the new database that happened to get the same OID as a dropped relation in the old database. To fix these race conditions: - make rmtree() ignore ENOENT errors. This fixes the 1st race condition. - make ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests forget unlink requests as well. - force checkpoint on in dropdb on all platforms Since ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests() is asynchronous, the 2nd change isn't enough on its own to fix the problem of dropping and creating a database with same OID, but forcing a checkpoint on DROP DATABASE makes it sufficient. Per Tom Lane's bug report and proposal. Backpatch to 8.3.
* Cause EXPLAIN's VERBOSE option to print the target list (output column list)Tom Lane2008-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | of each plan node, instead of its former behavior of dumping the internal representation of the plan tree. The latter display is still available for those who really want it (see debug_print_plan), but uses for it are certainly few and and far between. Per discussion. This patch also removes the explain_pretty_print GUC, which is obsoleted by the change.
* Clean up a few places where Datums were being treated as pointers (and viceAlvaro Herrera2008-04-17
| | | | | | versa) without going through DatumGetPointer. Gavin Sherry, with Feng Tian.
* Fix a couple of oversights associated with the "physical tlist" optimization:Tom Lane2008-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we had several code paths where a physical tlist could be used for the input to a Sort node, which is a dumb idea because any unneeded table columns will increase the volume of data the sort has to push around. (Unfortunately the easy-looking fix of calling disuse_physical_tlist during make_sort_xxx doesn't work because in most cases we're already committed to the current input tlist --- it's been marked with sort column numbers, or we've built grouping column numbers using it, etc. The tlist has to be selected properly at the calling level before we start constructing sort-col information. This is easy enough to do, we were just failing to take the point into consideration.) Back-patch to 8.3. I believe the problem probably exists clear back to 7.4 when the physical tlist optimization was added, but I'm afraid to back-patch further than 8.3 without a great deal more study than I want to put into it. The code in this area has drifted a lot over time. The real-world importance of these code paths is uncertain anyway --- I think in many cases we'd probably prefer hash-based methods.
