just refer to btree index entries as plain IndexTuples, which is what
they have been for a very long time. This is mostly just an exercise
in removing extraneous notation, but it does save a palloc/pfree cycle
per index insertion.
and non-required keys in a btree index scan, mark the required scankeys
with private flag bits SK_BT_REQFWD and/or SK_BT_REQBKWD. This seems
at least marginally clearer to me, and it eliminates a wired-into-the-
data-structure assumption that required keys are consecutive. Even though
that assumption will remain true for the foreseeable future, having it
in there makes the code seem more complex than necessary.
Continue to support GRANT ON [TABLE] for sequences for backward

[Backward compatibility warning message.]
Add USAGE permission for sequences that allows only currval() and
nextval(), not setval().

occurs when it tries to heap_open pg_tablespace. When control returns to
smgrcreate, that routine will be holding a dangling pointer to a closed
SMgrRelation, resulting in mayhem. This is of course a consequence of
the violation of proper module layering inherent in having smgr.c call
a tablespace command routine, but the simplest fix seems to be to change
the locking mechanism. There's no real need for TablespaceCreateDbspace
to touch pg_tablespace at all --- it's only opening it as a way of locking
against a parallel DROP TABLESPACE command. A much better answer is to
create a special-purpose LWLock to interlock these two operations.
This drops TablespaceCreateDbspace quite a few layers down the food chain
and makes it something reasonably safe for smgr to call.
files: avoid creating stats hashtable entries for tables that aren't being
touched except by vacuum/analyze, ensure that entries for dropped tables are
removed promptly, and tweak the data layout to avoid storing useless struct
padding. Also improve the performance of pgstat_vacuum_tabstat(), and make
sure that autovacuum invokes it exactly once per autovac cycle rather than
multiple times or not at all. This should cure recent complaints about 8.1
showing much higher stats I/O volume than was seen in 8.0. It'd still be a
good idea to revisit the design with an eye to not re-writing the entire
stats dataset every half second ... but that would be too much to backpatch,
I fear.
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.
an array of regtype, rather than an array of OIDs. This is likely to
be more useful to user, and the type OID can easily be obtained by
casting a regtype value to OID. Per suggestion from Tom.
Update the documentation and regression tests, and bump the catversion.
isn't being used anywhere anymore, and there seems no point in a generic
index_keytest() routine when two out of three remaining access methods
aren't using it. Also, add a comment documenting a convention for
letting access methods define private flag bits in ScanKey sk_flags.
There are no such flags at the moment but I'm thinking about changing
btree's handling of "required keys" to use flag bits in the keys
rather than a count of required key positions. Also, if some AM did
still want SK_NEGATE then it would be reasonable to treat it as a private
flag bit.
our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current
command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows
we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the
even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted
by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
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.
in favor of having just one set of macros that don't do HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS
(hence, these correspond to the old SpinLockAcquire_NoHoldoff case).
Given our coding rules for spinlock use, there is no reason to allow
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS to be done while holding a spinlock, and also there
is no situation where ImmediateInterruptOK will be true while holding a
spinlock. Therefore doing HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS while taking/releasing a
spinlock is just a waste of cycles. Qingqing Zhou and Tom Lane.
setup. This protects against undesired changes in locale behavior
if someone carelessly does setlocale(LC_ALL, "") (and we know who
you are, perl guys).
get_func_arg_info() for consistency with other names there.
This code will probably be useful to other PLs when they start to
support OUT parameters, so better to have it in the main backend.
Also, fix plpgsql validator to detect bogus OUT parameters even when
check_function_bodies is off.
(previously we only did = and <> correctly). Also, allow row comparisons
with any operators that are in btree opclasses, not only those with these
specific names. This gets rid of a whole lot of indefensible assumptions
about the behavior of particular operators based on their names ... though
it's still true that IN and NOT IN expand to "= ANY". The patch adds a
RowCompareExpr expression node type, and makes some changes in the
representation of ANY/ALL/ROWCOMPARE SubLinks so that they can share code
with RowCompareExpr.
I have not yet done anything about making RowCompareExpr an indexable
operator, but will look at that soon.
initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.
#define HIGHBIT (0x80)
#define IS_HIGHBIT_SET(ch) ((unsigned char)(ch) & HIGHBIT)
and removed CSIGNBIT and mapped it uses to HIGHBIT. I have also added
uses for IS_HIGHBIT_SET where appropriate. This change is
purely for code clarity.
Per my recent proposal. I ended up basing the implementation on the
existing mechanism for enforcing valid join orders of IN joins --- the
rules for valid outer-join orders are somewhat similar.
file. The original code probed the PGPROC array separately for each PID,
which was not good for large numbers of backends: not only is the runtime
O(N^2) but most of it is spent holding ProcArrayLock. Instead, take the
lock just once and copy the active PIDs into an array, then use qsort
and bsearch so that the lookup time is more like O(N log N).

one) or in a failed transaction (reject message, except for COMMIT/ROLLBACK
statements which we can handle). Per report from Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
reduce contention for the former single LockMgrLock. Per my recent
proposal. I set it up for 16 partitions, but on a pgbench test this
gives only a marginal further improvement over 4 partitions --- we need
to test more scenarios to choose the number of partitions.
the data defining the semantics of a lock method (ie, conflict resolution
table and ancillary data, which is all constant) and the hash tables
storing the current state. The only thing we give up by this is the
ability to use separate hashtables for different lock methods, but there
is no need for that anyway. Put some extra fields into the LockMethod
definition structs to clean up some other uglinesses, like hard-wired
tests for DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD and USER_LOCKMETHOD. This commit doesn't
do anything about the performance issues we were discussing, but it clears
away some of the underbrush that's in the way of fixing that.
I have the problem, when building by MS-VC6.
An error occurs in the 8.1.0 present source codes.
nmake -f win32.mak
..\..\port\getaddrinfo.c(244) : error C2065: 'WSA_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY'
..\..\port\getaddrinfo.c(342) : error C2065: 'WSATYPE_NOT_FOUND'
This is used by winsock2.h. However, Construction of a windows base is
winsock.h.
Then, Since MinGW has special environment, this is right. but, it is not
found in VC6.
Furthermore, in getaddrinfo.c, IPV6-API is used by
LoadLibraryA("ws2_32");
Referring to of dll the external memory generates this violation by VC6
specification.
I considered whether the whole should have been converted into winsock2.
However, Now, DLL of MinGW creation operates wonderfully as it is.
That's right, it has pliability by replacement of simple DLL.
Then, I propose the system using winsock(non IPV6) in construction of
VC6.

_bt_checkkeys(), instead of checking it in the top-level nbtree.c routines
as formerly. This saves a little bit of loop overhead, but more importantly
it lets us skip performing the index key comparisons for dead tuples.
SLRU area. The number of slots is still a compile-time constant (someday
we might want to change that), but at least it's a different constant for
each SLRU area. Increase number of subtrans buffers to 32 based on
experimentation with a heavily subtrans-bashing test case, and increase
number of multixact member buffers to 16, since it's obviously silly for
it not to be at least twice the number of multixact offset buffers.
