Windows), arrange for each postmaster child process to be its own process
group leader, and deliver signals SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT to the whole
process group not only the direct child process. This provides saner behavior
for archive and recovery scripts; in particular, it's possible to shut down a
warm-standby recovery server using "pg_ctl stop -m immediate", since delivery
of SIGQUIT to the startup subprocess will result in killing the waiting
recovery_command. Also, this makes Query Cancel and statement_timeout apply
to scripts being run from backends via system(). (There is no support in the
core backend for that, but it's widely done using untrusted PLs.) Per gripe
from Stephen Harris and subsequent discussion.
promoted to FATAL) end in exit(1) not exit(0). Then change the postmaster to
allow exit(1) without a system-wide panic, but not for the startup subprocess
or the bgwriter. There were a couple of places that were using exit(1) to
deliberately force a system-wide panic; adjust these to be exit(2) instead.
This fixes the problem noted back in July that if the startup process exits
with elog(ERROR), the postmaster would think everything is hunky-dory and
proceed to start up. Alternative solutions such as trying to run the entire
startup process as a critical section seem less clean, primarily because of
the fact that a fair amount of startup code is shared by all postmaster
children in the EXEC_BACKEND case. We'd need an ugly special case somewhere
near the head of main.c to make it work if it's the child process's
responsibility to determine what happens; and what's the point when the
postmaster already treats different children differently?

Also, tweak the code to work properly if someone sets max_stack_depth

than being equivalent to setting log_min_duration_statement to zero, this
option now forces logging of all query durations, but doesn't force logging
of query text. Also, add duration logging coverage for fastpath function
calls.
proposal. Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and
logging overhead is avoided when disabled.
log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example
now looks like
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in
LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 0.394 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 1.251 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
LOG: duration: 0.566 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
LOG: duration: 0.173 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
(This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration
logging purposes, BTW.)
Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands
are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding
was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it
did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all.
This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration
should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.
that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command,
treating the parameter values as constants in the planner. This removes
the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line
parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding,
LIKE optimization, etc. After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.
optionally bind. I re-added the "statement:" label so people will
understand why the line is being printed (it is log_*statement
behavior).
Use single quotes for bind values, instead of double quotes, and double
literal single quotes in bind values (and document that). I also made
use of the DETAIL line to have much cleaner output.
such as debugging and performance measurement. This consists of two features:
a table of "rendezvous variables" that allows separately-loaded shared
libraries to communicate, and a new GUC setting "local_preload_libraries"
that allows libraries to be loaded into specific sessions without explicit
cooperation from the client application. To make local_preload_libraries
as flexible as possible, we do not restrict its use to superusers; instead,
it is restricted to load only libraries stored in $libdir/plugins/. The
existing LOAD command has also been modified to allow non-superusers to
LOAD libraries stored in this directory.
This patch also renames the existing GUC variable preload_libraries to
shared_preload_libraries (after a suggestion by Simon Riggs) and does some
code refactoring in dfmgr.c to improve clarity.

startup failure on Windows, and avoid wasted cycles if a nondefault

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.
already-aborted transaction block. GetSnapshotData throws an Assert if
not in a valid transaction; hence we mustn't attempt to set a snapshot
for the function until after checking for aborted transaction. This is
harmless AFAICT if Asserts aren't enabled (GetSnapshotData will compute
a bogus snapshot, but it doesn't matter since HandleFunctionRequest will
throw an error shortly anywy). Hence, not a major bug.
Along the way, add some ability to log fastpath calls when statement
logging is turned on. This could probably stand to be improved further,
but not logging anything is clearly undesirable.
Backpatched as far as 8.0; bug doesn't exist before that.

Also update statement_timeout() to mention it is statement arrival time

8.0), and add as suggestion to use log_min_error_statement for this
purpose. I also fixed the code so the first EXECUTE has it's prepare,
rather than the last which is what was in the current code. Also remove

Backpatch to 8.1.X.
functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter)
during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all
our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any
behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions
that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes
in our domain support, as per previous discussion.
While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions
InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O
functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main
motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need
to touch them again.
during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages.
This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic
infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors
involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could
be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also
moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq,
which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this
is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.
cursors. Patch from Joachim Wieland, review and ediorialization by Neil
Conway. The view lists cursors defined by DECLARE CURSOR, using SPI, or
via the Bind message of the frontend/backend protocol. This means the
view does not list the unnamed portal or the portal created to implement
EXECUTE. Because we do list SPI portals, there might be more rows in
this view than you might expect if you are using SPI implicitly (e.g.
via a procedural language).
Per recent discussion on -hackers, the query string included in the
view for cursors defined by DECLARE CURSOR is based on
debug_query_string. That means it is not accurate if multiple queries
separated by semicolons are submitted as one query string. However,
there doesn't seem a trivial fix for that: debug_query_string
is better than nothing. I also changed SPI_cursor_open() to include
the source text for the portal it creates: AFAICS there is no reason
not to do this.
Update the documentation and regression tests, bump the catversion.
access information about the prepared statements that are available
in the current session. Original patch from Joachim Wieland, various
improvements by Neil Conway.
The "statement" column of the view contains the literal query string
sent by the client, without any rewriting or pretty printing. This
means that prepared statements created via SQL will be prefixed with
"PREPARE ... AS ", whereas those prepared via the FE/BE protocol will
not. That is unfortunate, but discussion on -patches did not yield an
efficient way to improve this, and there is some merit in returning
exactly what the client sent to the backend.
Catalog version bumped, regression tests updated.
an LWLock instead of a spinlock. This hardly matters on Unix machines
but should improve startup performance on Windows (or any port using
EXEC_BACKEND). Per previous discussion.
