rather than when returning to the idle loop. This makes no particular
difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference
for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before
the calling function is allowed to proceed. This responds to numerous
complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and
appears to be required by the SQL99 spec.
Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the
pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a
bit of space.
status. In particular, I see no reason for deferredTriggerCheckState
to make an explicit entry to note that a particular trigger has its
default state --- that just clutters a list that should normally be
empty or very short. I have plans to revise this module much more
heavily, but this is a simple separable improvement.
Asserts would lead to a server core dump if an error occurred while
trying to abort a failed subtransaction (thereby leading to re-execution
of whatever parts of AbortSubTransaction had already run). This of course
does not prevent such an error from creating an infinite loop, but at
least we don't make the situation worse. Responds to an open item on
the subtransactions to-do list.
elog() emulation code always calls errstart with ERROR error level.
This means that a recursive error call triggered by elog would do
MemoryContextReset(ErrorContext), whether or not this was actually
appropriate. I'm surprised we haven't seen this in the field...
Messages of less than ERROR severity should never be promoted (this
fixes Gaetano Mendola's problem with a COMMERROR becoming a PANIC,
and is obvious in hindsight anyway). Do all promotion in errstart
not errfinish, to ensure that output decisions are made correctly;
the former coding could suppress logging of promoted errors, which
doesn't seem like a good idea. Eliminate some redundant code too.
use of already-freed strings, other silliness. Also fix reporting of
config file syntax errors so that it actually works reasonably well
(eg, points at the correct line). Use palloc instead of malloc for
temporary storage to reduce code clutter.
not supposed to (fixes problem with postmaster aborting due to mistaken
postgresql.conf change); don't call superuser() when not inside a
transaction (fixes coredump when, eg, try to set log_statement from
PGOPTIONS); some message style guidelines enforcement.
default tablespace --- they should always go in the database's default
tablespace. Adjust heap_create() API so that it is passed the relkind
to make this easier; should simplify any further tweaking of the same
sort.
to allow DBA to choose the form in which log filenames reflect the
current time. Also allow for truncating instead of appending to
pre-existing files --- this is convenient when the log filename pattern
rewrites the same names cyclically. Per Ed L.
during replay of CREATE DATABASE as well as the first time around.
Else it's possible that the copy operation will copy obsolete blocks.
We are still a long way from guaranteeing anything about using a
recently-written database as a CREATE template, but this seems needed
to ensure the existing behavior holds up during replay.
Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory
in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink. This eliminates the open
problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts
to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace. It also makes for a
significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.
a more tolerable limit on the number of subtransactions or deleted files
in COMMIT and ABORT records. Buy back the extra space by eliminating the
xl_xact_prev field, which isn't being used for anything and is rather
unlikely ever to be used for anything.
This does not force initdb, but you do need to do pg_resetxlog if you
want to upgrade an existing 8.0 installation without initdb.
Win32 WaitForMultipleObjects:
ret = WaitForMultipleObjects(win32_numChildren, win32_childHNDArray,
FALSE, 0);
Problem is 'win32_numChildren' could be more then 64 ( function supports
), problem basically arise ( kills postgres ) when you create more then
64 connections and terminate some of them sill leaving more then 64.

Here's an attempt on this. new file goes in backend/port/win32.

so that we close and flush the doomed relation's relcache entry before
we start to delete the underlying catalog rows, rather than afterwards.
For awhile yesterday I thought that an unexpected relcache entry rebuild
partway through this sequence might explain the infrequent parallel
regression failures we were chasing. It doesn't, mainly because there's
no CommandCounterIncrement in the sequence and so the deletions aren't
"really" done yet. But it sure seems like trouble waiting to happen.
relcache entries. Also, change TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId()
so that if consulted during transaction abort, it will not say that
the aborted xact is still current. (It would be better to ensure that
it's never called at all during abort, but I'm not sure we can easily
guarantee that.) In combination, these fix a crash we have seen
occasionally during parallel regression tests of 8.0.

Markus Bertheau.
Also add regression test cases for this change, and for previous
recent array literal parser changes.
