There were a bunch of places that weren't paying attention to configure's
result anyway (including configure itself!?); clean them up too.
days. It seems to be a FAQ, and I think I know why. When creating a 'c'
language function, CREATE FUNCTION is fed the shared object filename,
and seems to succeed. Only when trying to use the function is an error
thrown, by which time the coder thinks something's wrong with executing
the code, not with loading it.
I think I once saw it proposed to load shared objects at function creation
time, but that idea was shot down on the grounds of resident memory bloat,
ISTR. Here's a patch for a compromise: all it does is stat() the file,
just like the loader code does, so that the errors caused by non existent
files, and no directory 'x' permissions (the most common ones, it seems),
get caught while the developer is still thinking about code loading. It
doesn't catch all errors (like the code not being readable by the postgres
user) but seems to catch the most common, without actually opening the file.
What do you think?

indexes, apparently, nor on functional indexes with more than one input
column (force of natts = 1 was in the wrong branch of IF statement).
Coredumped if source relation contained any uncommitted tuples, due to
failure to test for success return from heap_fetch. Fetched tuple
was passed directly to heap_insert, which clobbers the TID and commit
status in the tuple header it's given, which meant that the source
relation's tuples all got trashed as the copy proceeded. Abort partway
through, and you're left with a lot of missing tuples.
I wonder what else is lurking here ...
pg_char_to_encoding() in multibyte disbaled case so that it does not
throw an error, rather return HARD CODED default value (currently SQL_ASCII).
This would solve the "non-mb backend vs. mb-enabled frontend" problem.
cleanup, ie, as soon as we have caught the longjmp. This ensures that
current context will be a valid context throughout error cleanup. Before
it was possible that current context was pointing at a context that would
get deleted during cleanup, leaving any subsequent pallocs in deep
trouble. I was able to provoke an Assert failure when compiled with
asserts + -DCLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY, if I did something that would cause
an error to be reported by the backend large-object code, because indeed
that code operates in a context that gets deleted partway through xact
abort --- and CurrentMemoryContext was still pointing at it! Boo hiss.
cases where joinclauses were present but some joins have to be made
by cartesian-product join anyway. An example is
SELECT * FROM a,b,c WHERE (a.f1 + b.f2 + c.f3) = 0;
Even though all the rels have joinclauses, we must join two of them
in cartesian style before we can use the join clause...
than BIND_DEFERRED. That way, if the loaded library has unresolved
references, shl_load fails cleanly. As we had it, shl_load would
succeed and then the dynlinker would call abort() when we try to call
into the loaded library. abort()ing a backend is uncool.
to give wrong results: it should be looking at inJoinSet not inFromCl.
Also, make 'modified' flag be local to ApplyRetrieveRule: we should
append a rule's quals to the query iff that particular rule applies,
not if we have fired any previously-considered rule for the query!
(SELECT FROM table*). Cause was reference to 'eref' field of an RTE,
which is null in an RTE loaded from a stored rule parsetree. There
wasn't any good reason to be touching the refname anyway...
table for an average of NTUP_PER_BUCKET tuples/bucket, but cost_hashjoin
was assuming a target load of one tuple/bucket. This was causing a
noticeable underestimate of hashjoin costs.
(LIKE and regexp matches). These are not yet referenced in pg_operator,
so by default the system will continue to use eqsel/neqsel.
Also, tweak convert_to_scalar() logic so that common prefixes of strings
are stripped off, allowing better accuracy when all strings in a table
share a common prefix.
subsequent elogs() in the same COPY operation to display the wrong
line number. Fix is to clear lineno only when elog level is such
that we will not return to caller.
all platforms, not just SCO. The operation is undefined for Unix-domain
sockets anyway. It seems SCO is not the only platform that complains
instead of treating the call as a no-op.
contained a sub-SELECT nested within an AND/OR tree that cnfify()
thought it should rearrange. Same physical sub-SELECT node could
end up linked into multiple places in resulting expression tree.
This is harmless for most node types, but not for SubLink.
Repair bug by making physical copies of subexpressions that get
logically duplicated by cnfify(). Also, tweak the heuristic that
decides whether it's a good idea to do cnfify() --- we don't really
want that to happen when it would cause multiple copies of a subselect
to be generated, I think.
whether to do fsync or not, and if so (which should be seldom) just
do the fsync immediately. This way we need not build data structures
in md.c/fd.c for blind writes.
logged queries to 1024, truncating longer queries. That is about half of
the size I need (I have a union that is 2K long). Can someone consider
bumping it to 4K or so? Patch attached...

as a shared dirtybit for each shared buffer. The shared dirtybit still
controls writing the buffer, but the local bit controls whether we need
to fsync the buffer's file. This arrangement fixes a bug that allowed
some required fsyncs to be missed, and should improve performance as well.

than not knowing what they are at all. Perhaps they should have their own
type category? Hard to say. In the meantime, doing it this way allows
SELECT 'unknown' || 'unknown' to continue being resolved as textcat,
instead of spitting out an ambiguous-operator error.
parse node types. This allows these statements to be placed in a plpgsql
function. Also, see to it that statement types not handled by the copy
logic will draw an appropriate elog(ERROR), instead of leaving a null
pointer that will cause coredump later on. More utility statements could
be added if anyone felt like turning the crank.
