and possibly for other cases too:
DO NOT cache status of transaction in unknown state
(i.e. non-committed and non-aborted ones)
Example:
T1 reads row updated/inserted by running T2 and cache T2 status.
T2 commits.
Now T1 reads a row updated by T2 and with HEAP_XMAX_COMMITTED
in t_infomask (so cached T2 status is not changed).
Now T1 EvalPlanQual gets updated row version without HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED
-> TransactionIdDidCommit(t_xmin) and TransactionIdDidAbort(t_xmin)
return FALSE and T2 decides that t_xmin is not committed and gets
ERROR above.
It's too late to find more smart way to handle such cases and so
I just changed xact status caching and got rid TransactionIdFlushCache()
from code.
Changed: transam.c, xact.c, lmgr.c and transam.h - last three
just because of TransactionIdFlushCache() is removed.
2. heapam.c:
T1 marked a row for update. T2 waits for T1 commit/abort.
T1 commits. T3 updates the row before T2 locks row page.
Now T2 sees that new row t_xmax is different from xact id (T1)
T2 was waiting for. Old code did Assert here. New one goes to
HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate. Obvious changes too.
3. Added Assert to vacuum.c
4. bufmgr.c: break
Assert(buf->r_locks == 0 && !buf->ri_lock)
into two Asserts.
if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb.
o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after
Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running
regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared.
regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute
'oid' not found
this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without
my patches. strange...
o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer
used, and shoud be removed.
o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in
#ifdef 0). seems nobody uses.
t-ishii@sra.co.jp
no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
As Bruce mentioned, this is due to the conflict among changes we made.
Included patches should fix the problem(I changed all MB to
MULTIBYTE). Please let me know if you have further problem.
P.S. I did not include pathces to configure and gram.c to save the
file size(configure.in and gram.y modified).
From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp
Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support. (patches are
against 7/18 snapshot)
* determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time
Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I
modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See
README.mb for more details.
For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database.
Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the
modification to pg_database. Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h,
pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is
enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to
use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks
ugly. No way.
* support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command
commands/copy.c modified.
* support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES"
See gram.y.
* support for LATIN2-5
* add UNICODE regression test case
* new test suite for MB
New directory test/mb added.
* clean up source files
Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance.
These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.
