to the existing X-direction tests. An rtree class now includes 4 actual
2-D tests, 4 1-D X-direction tests, and 4 1-D Y-direction tests.
This involved adding four new Y-direction test operators for each of
box and polygon; I followed the PostGIS project's lead as to the names
of these operators.
NON BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE CHANGE: the poly_overleft (&<) and poly_overright
(&>) operators now have semantics comparable to box_overleft and box_overright.
This is necessary to make r-tree indexes work correctly on polygons.
Also, I changed circle_left and circle_right to agree with box_left and
box_right --- formerly they allowed the boundaries to touch. This isn't
actually essential given the lack of any r-tree opclass for circles, but
it seems best to sync all the definitions while we are at it.

variable can also be removed, as it is now no longer used. Per checking
with Karel, this is the right fix.

includes error checking and an appropriate ereport(ERROR) message.
This gets rid of rather tedious and error-prone manipulation of errno,
as well as a Windows-specific bug workaround, at more than a dozen
call sites. After an idea in a recent patch by Heikki Linnakangas.
old suggestion by Oliver Jowett. Also, add a transaction column to the
pg_locks view to show the xid of each transaction holding or awaiting
locks; this allows prepared transactions to be properly associated with
the locks they own. There was already a column named 'transaction',
and I chose to rename it to 'transactionid' --- since this column is
new in the current devel cycle there should be no backwards compatibility
issue to worry about.
"AT TIME ZONE", and not just the shorlist previously available. For
example:
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/London';
works fine now. It will also obey whatever DST rules were in effect at
just that date, which the previous implementation did not.
It also supports the AT TIME ZONE on the timetz datatype. The whole
handling of DST is a bit bogus there, so I chose to make it use whatever
DST rules are in effect at the time of executig the query. not sure if
anybody is actuallyi *using* timetz though, it seems pretty
unpredictable just because of this...

nonconsecutive columns of a multicolumn index, as per discussion around
mid-May (pghackers thread "Best way to scan on-disk bitmaps"). This
turns out to require only minimal changes in btree, and so far as I can
see none at all in GiST. btcostestimate did need some work, but its
original assumption that index selectivity == heap selectivity was
quite bogus even before this.
a new PlannerInfo struct, which is passed around instead of the bare
Query in all the planning code. This commit is essentially just a
code-beautification exercise, but it does open the door to making
larger changes to the planner data structures without having to muck
with the widely-known Query struct.
representation as the jointree) with two lists of RTEs, one showing
the RTEs accessible by qualified names, and the other showing the RTEs
accessible by unqualified names. I think this is conceptually simpler
than what we did before, and it's sure a whole lot easier to search.
This seems to eliminate the parse-time bottleneck for deeply nested
JOIN structures that was exhibited by phil@vodafone.
performance problem pointed out by phil@vodafone: to wit, we were
spending O(N^2) time to check dropped-ness in an N-deep join tree,
even in the case where the tree was freshly constructed and couldn't
possibly mention any dropped columns. Instead of recursing in
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped(), change the data structure definition:
the joinaliasvars list of a JOIN RTE must have a NULL Const instead
of a Var at any position that references a now-dropped column. This
costs nothing during normal parse-rewrite-plan path, and instead we
have a linear-time update to make when loading a stored rule that
might contain now-dropped columns. While at it, move the responsibility
for acquring locks on relations referenced by rules into this separate
function (which I therefore chose to call AcquireRewriteLocks).
This saves effort --- namely, duplicated lock grabs in parser and rewriter
--- in the normal path at a cost of one extra non-locked heap_open()
in the stored-rule path; seems a good tradeoff. A fringe benefit is
that it is now *much* clearer that we acquire lock on relations referenced
in rules before we make any rewriter decisions based on their properties.
(I don't know of any bug of that ilk, but it wasn't exactly clear before.)
key, compare the new and old row versions. If the foreign key column has
not changed, we needn't enqueue the trigger, since the update cannot
violate the foreign key. This optimization was previously applied in the
RI trigger function, but it is more efficient to avoid firing the trigger
altogether. Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers.
Also add a regression test for some unintuitive foreign key behavior, and
refactor some code that deals with the OIDs of the various RI trigger
functions.
spotted by Qingqing Zhou. The HASH_ENTER action now automatically
fails with elog(ERROR) on out-of-memory --- which incidentally lets
us eliminate duplicate error checks in quite a bunch of places. If
you really need the old return-NULL-on-out-of-memory behavior, you
can ask for HASH_ENTER_NULL. But there is now an Assert in that path
checking that you aren't hoping to get that behavior in a palloc-based
hash table.
Along the way, remove the old HASH_FIND_SAVE/HASH_REMOVE_SAVED actions,
which were not being used anywhere anymore, and were surely too ugly
and unsafe to want to see revived again.
Display only 9 not 10 digits of precision for timestamp values when

working buffer into ParseDateTime() and reject too-long input there,
rather than checking the length of the input string before calling
ParseDateTime(). The old method was bogus because ParseDateTime() can use
a variable amount of working space, depending on the content of the
input string (e.g. how many fields need to be NUL terminated). This fixes
a minor stack overrun -- I don't _think_ it's exploitable, although I
won't claim to be an expert.
Along the way, fix a bug reported by Mark Dilger: the working buffer
allocated by interval_in() was too short, which resulted in rejecting
some perfectly valid interval input values. I added a regression test for
this fix.
using pg_mblen. Therefore, pg_mblen is executed many times, and it
becomes a bottleneck.
This patch makes a short cut, and reduces execution frequency of
pg_mblen by comparing the first byte first.

improve md5(text) to allocate a constant-sized buffer on the stack

communication structure, and make it its own module with its own lock.
This should reduce contention at least a little, and it definitely makes
the code seem cleaner. Per my recent proposal.
collector messages, per recent discussion on pgsql-patches. This
actually required quite a few changes -- for example,
"databaseid != InvalidOid" was used to check whether a slot in the
backend entry table was initialized, but that no longer works since
the slot might be initialized prior to receiving the BESTART message
which contains the database id. We now use procpid > 0 to indicate
that a slot is non-empty.
Other changes:
- various comment improvements and cleanups
- there's no need to zero-out the entire activity buffer in
pgstat_add_backend(), we can just set activity[0] to '\0'.
- remove the counting of the # of connections to a database; this
was not used anywhere
One change in behavior I wasn't sure about: previously, the code
would create a hash table entry for a database as soon as any message
was received whose header referenced that database. Now, we only
create hash table entries as needed (so for example BESTART won't
create a database hash table entry, since it doesn't need to
access anything in the per-db hash table). It would be easy enough
to retain the old behavior, but AFAICS it is not required.

arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely
source of security holes if it was used.) Simplify call sites of

record object itself, rather than relying on a second OID argument to be
correct. This patch just changes the function behavior and not the
catalogs, so it's OK to back-patch to 8.0. Will remove the now-redundant
second argument in pg_proc in a separate patch in HEAD only.
a warning when a variable is used as a format string for printf()
and similar functions (if the variable is derived from untrusted
data, it could include unexpected formatting sequences). This
emits too many warnings to be enabled by default, but it does
flag a few dubious constructs in the Postgres tree. This patch
fixes up the obvious variants: functions that are passed a variable
format string but no additional arguments.
Most of these are harmless (e.g. the ruleutils stuff), but there
is at least one actual bug here: if you create a trigger named
"%sfoo", pg_dump will read uninitialized memory and fail to dump
the trigger correctly.
Essentially, we shoehorn in a lockable-object-type field by taking
a byte away from the lockmethodid, which can surely fit in one byte
instead of two. This allows less artificial definitions of all the
other fields of LOCKTAG; we can get rid of the special pg_xactlock
pseudo-relation, and also support locks on individual tuples and
general database objects (including shared objects). None of those
possibilities are actually exploited just yet, however.
I removed pg_xactlock from pg_class, but did not force initdb for
that change. At this point, relkind 's' (SPECIAL) is unused and
could be removed entirely.
to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE
paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU
data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple-
transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared
lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set
of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows
an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before,
while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually
has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control
the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock.

node, as this behavior is now better done as a bitmap OR indexscan.
This allows considerable simplification in nodeIndexscan.c itself as
well as several planner modules concerned with indexscan plan generation.
Also we can improve the sharing of code between regular and bitmap
indexscans, since they are now working with nigh-identical Plan nodes.
