in all cases when keep_buf = true. This allows ANALYZE's inner loop to
use heap_release_fetch, which saves multiple buffer lookups for the same
page and avoids overestimation of cost by the vacuum cost mechanism.
returning a NULL pointer (some callers remembered to check the return
value, but some did not -- it is safer to just bail out).
Also, cleanup pgstat.c to use elog(ERROR) rather than elog(LOG) followed
by exit().
examinable by non-superusers, and use it to protect the recently-added
GUC variables for data directory and config files. For now I have only
flagged those variables that could be used to deduce something about
the server's filesystem layout, but possibly we should also mark vars
related to logging settings and other admin-only information?
at the top level of the column's old default expression before adding
an implicit coercion to the new column type. This seems to satisfy the
principle of least surprise, as per discussion of bug #1290.
NO ACTION check is deferrable. This seems to be a closer approximation
to what the SQL spec says than what we were doing before, and it prevents
some anomalous behaviors that are possible now that triggers can fire
during the execution of PL functions.

to make life cushy for the JDBC driver. Centralize the decision-making
that affects this by inventing a get_type_func_class() function, rather
than adding special cases in half a dozen places.
an oversize message, per suggestion from Oliver Jowett. I'm a bit
dubious that this is a real problem, since the client likely doesn't
have any more space available than the server, but it's not hard to
make it behave according to the protocol intention.
This does not disable the bgwriter process: it still has to wake up often
enough to collect fsync requests from backends in a timely fashion. But
it responds to the recent gripe about not being able to prevent the disk
from being spun up constantly.
specifies a new default tablespace and the template database already has
some tables in that tablespace. There isn't any way to solve this fully
without modifying the clone database's pg_class contents, so for now the
best we can do is issue a better error message.
only covered the case of assigning "", and failed to recognize that
actually setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,...) does not work at all on this platform.

pins at end of transaction, and reduce AtEOXact_Buffers to an Assert
cross-check that this was done correctly. When not USE_ASSERT_CHECKING,
AtEOXact_Buffers is a complete no-op. This gets rid of an O(NBuffers)
bottleneck during transaction commit/abort, which recent testing has shown
becomes significant above a few tens of thousands of shared buffers.
(if any) currently waited for by LockBufferForCleanup(), which is all
that we were using it for anymore. Saves some space and eliminates
proportional-to-NBuffers slowdown in UnlockBuffers().

This fix is intended to be permanent: it moves the responsibility for
calling SetBufferCommitInfoNeedsSave() into the tqual.c routines,
eliminating the requirement for callers to test whether t_infomask changed.
Also, tighten validity checking on buffer IDs in bufmgr.c --- several
routines were paranoid about out-of-range shared buffer numbers but not
about out-of-range local ones, which seems a tad pointless.

- remove another senseless "extern" keyword that was applied to a
function definition
- change a foo more function signatures from "some_type foo()" to
"some_type foo(void)"
- rewrite another K&R style function definition
- make the type of the "action" function pointer in the KeyWord struct
in src/backend/utils/adt/formatting.c more precise
for scanning one term of an OR clause if the index's predicate is implied
by that same OR clause term (possibly in conjunction with top-level WHERE
clauses). Per recent example from Dawid Kuroczko,
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2004-10/msg00095.php
Also, fix a very long-standing bug in index predicate testing, namely the
bizarre ordering of decomposition of predicate and restriction clauses.
AFAICS the correct way is to break down the predicate all the way, and
then for each component term see if you can prove it from the entire
restriction set. The original coding had a purely-implementation-artifact
distinction between ANDing at the top level and ANDing below that, and
proceeded to get the decomposition order wrong everywhere below the top
level, with the result that even slightly complicated AND/OR predicates
could not be proven. For instance, given
create index foop on foo(f2) where f1=42 or f1=1
or (f1 = 11 and f2 = 55);
the old code would fail to match this index to the query
select * from foo where f1 = 11 and f2 = 55;
when it obviously ought to match.
parent table's tablespace, as per gripe from Michael Kleiser. Choose
a more plausible column order for this view and pg_tables. Update
documentation of these views, which was missed in original patch.
- replace some function signatures of the form "some_type foo()" with
"some_type foo(void)"
- replace a few instances of a literal 0 being used as a NULL pointer;
there are more instances of this in the code, but I just fixed a few
- in src/backend/utils/mb/wstrncmp.c, replace K&R style function
declarations with ANSI style, remove use of 'register' keyword
- remove an "extern" modifier that was applied to a function definition
(rather than a declaration)
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and
ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths
during postmaster startup.
This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from
non-superusers.
Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause
use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in
EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the
documentation minimally usable.
list elements comma-separated instead of barfing. This allows elimination
of half a dozen redundant copies of that behavior, and also makes the
world safe again for pg_get_expr() applied to pg_index.indexprs, per gripe
from Alexander Zhiltsov.
columns. The returned tuple needs to have appropriate NULL columns
inserted so that it actually matches the declared rowtype. It seemed
convenient to use a JunkFilter for this, so I made some cleanups and
simplifications in the JunkFilter code to allow it to support this
additional functionality. (That in turn exposed a latent bug in
nodeAppend.c, which is that it was returning a tuple slot whose
descriptor didn't match its data.) Also, move check_sql_fn_retval
out of pg_proc.c and into functions.c, where it seems to more naturally
belong.
