Formerly, the default value of wal_sync_method was determined inside xlog.c,
but now it is determined inside guc.c. guc.c was reading xlogdefs.h
without having read <fcntl.h>, leading to wrong determination of
DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD. Obviously xlogdefs.h needs to include <fcntl.h>
for itself to ensure stable results.
sequence to be reset to its original starting value. This requires adding the
original start value to the set of parameters (columns) of a sequence object,
which is a user-visible change with potential compatibility implications;
it also forces initdb.
Also add hopefully-SQL-compatible RESTART/CONTINUE IDENTITY options to
TRUNCATE TABLE. RESTART IDENTITY executes ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART for all
sequences "owned by" any of the truncated relations. CONTINUE IDENTITY is
a no-op option.

Note that because this patch changes FmgrInfo, any external C functions
you might be testing with 8.4 will need to be recompiled.
Patch by Martin Pihlak, some editorialization by me (principally, removing
tracking of getrusage() numbers)
file portability/instr_time.h, and add a couple more macros to eliminate
some abstraction leakage we formerly had. Also update psql to use this
header instead of its own copy of nearly the same code.
This commit in itself is just code cleanup and shouldn't change anything.
It lays some groundwork for the upcoming function-stats patch, though.
There are two ways to track a snapshot: there's the "registered" list, which
is used for arbitrary long-lived snapshots; and there's the "active stack",
which is used for the snapshot that is considered "active" at any time.
This also allows users of snapshots to stop worrying about snapshot memory
allocation and freeing, and about using PG_TRY blocks around ActiveSnapshot
assignment. This is all done automatically now.
As a consequence, this allows us to reset MyProc->xmin when there are no
more snapshots registered in the current backend, reducing the impact that
long-running transactions have on VACUUM.
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.
For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.
as those for inherited columns; that is, it's no longer allowed for a child
table to not have a check constraint matching one that exists on a parent.
This satisfies the principle of least surprise (rows selected from the parent
will always appear to meet its check constraints) and eliminates some
longstanding bogosity in pg_dump, which formerly had to guess about whether
check constraints were really inherited or not.
The implementation involves adding conislocal and coninhcount columns to
pg_constraint (paralleling attislocal and attinhcount in pg_attribute)
and refactoring various ALTER TABLE actions to be more like those for
columns.

This function can also be called directly, taking a PID as an argument, to
return only the data for a single PID.
to avoid the pain of manually renumbering them anytime we insert another
name in alphabetical order. An excellent idea from Alex Hunsaker and
NikhilS' inherited-constraints patch --- whether or not the rest of that
gets in, this should. Dunno why we never thought of it before.
any hardcoding of those options. Along the way, reorder the expression used to
calculate RELSEG_SIZE to make it slightly clearer. For now wal_segsize is only
allowed to have a value of 1 on Windows - we can relax that when we get full
large file support in the backend.
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure. Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c. Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size. So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

It was my mistake, I missed limitation of number of held locks, now GIN doesn't
use continiuous locks, but still hold buffers pinned to prevent interference
with vacuum's deletion algorithm.
Backpatch is needed.
output is not of the same type that's needed for the IN comparison (ie,
where the parser inserted an implicit coercion above the subselect result).
We should record the coerced expression, not just a raw Var referencing
the subselect output, as the quantity that needs to be unique-ified if
we choose to implement the IN as Unique followed by a plain join.
As of 8.3 this error was causing crashes, as seen in bug #4113 from Javier
Hernandez, because the executor was being told to hash or sort the raw
subselect output column using operators appropriate to the coerced type.
In prior versions there was no crash because the executor chose the
hash or sort operators for itself based on the column type it saw.
However, that's still not really right, because what's unique for one data
type might not be unique for another. In corner cases we could get multiple
outputs of a row that should appear only once, as demonstrated by the
regression test case included in this commit.
However, this patch doesn't apply cleanly to 8.2 or before, and the code
involved has shifted enough over time that I'm hesitant to try to back-patch.
Given the lack of complaints from the field about such corner cases, I think
the bug may not be important enough to risk breaking other things with a
back-patch.

know if it's worth exposing these as configurables, or exactly how to
do it in the MSVC build system ...
where Datum is 8 bytes wide. Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

uses of the long-deprecated float32 in contrib/seg; the definitions themselves
are still there, but no longer used. fmgr/README updated to match.
I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c
too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions. At the same time,
remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared
STRICT).
I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too. The choices for
representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-(
Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.

some problem removing one file. Make the error messages a bit less misleading,
too. In passing, const-ify function arguments.
of each plan node, instead of its former behavior of dumping the internal
representation of the plan tree. The latter display is still available for
those who really want it (see debug_print_plan), but uses for it are certainly
few and and far between. Per discussion.
This patch also removes the explain_pretty_print GUC, which is obsoleted
by the change.
we had several code paths where a physical tlist could be used for the input
to a Sort node, which is a dumb idea because any unneeded table columns will
increase the volume of data the sort has to push around.
(Unfortunately the easy-looking fix of calling disuse_physical_tlist during
make_sort_xxx doesn't work because in most cases we're already committed to
the current input tlist --- it's been marked with sort column numbers, or
we've built grouping column numbers using it, etc. The tlist has to be
selected properly at the calling level before we start constructing sort-col
information. This is easy enough to do, we were just failing to take the
point into consideration.)
Back-patch to 8.3. I believe the problem probably exists clear back to 7.4
when the physical tlist optimization was added, but I'm afraid to back-patch
further than 8.3 without a great deal more study than I want to put into it.
The code in this area has drifted a lot over time. The real-world importance
of these code paths is uncertain anyway --- I think in many cases we'd
probably prefer hash-based methods.
corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the
whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to
SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure
macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care
of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method
for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem,
but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around.
Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1,
and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching
further.
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.
Tom Lane, after an idea of Heikki's, and with some help from Teodor.
no particular need to do get_op_opfamily_properties() while building an
indexscan plan. Postpone that lookup until executor start. This simplifies
createplan.c a lot more than it complicates nodeIndexscan.c, and makes things
more uniform since we already had to do it that way for RowCompare
expressions. Should be a bit faster too, at least for plans that aren't
re-used many times, since we avoid palloc'ing and perhaps copying the
intermediate list data structure.
instead of plan time. Extend the amgettuple API so that the index AM returns
a boolean indicating whether the indexquals need to be rechecked, and make
that rechecking happen in nodeIndexscan.c (currently the only place where
it's expected to be needed; other callers of index_getnext are just erroring
out for now). For the moment, GIN and GIST have stub logic that just always
sets the recheck flag to TRUE --- I'm hoping to get Teodor to handle pushing
that control down to the opclass consistent() functions. The planner no
longer pays any attention to amopreqcheck, and that catalog column will go
away in due course.
systable_endscan_ordered that have API similar to systable_beginscan etc
(in particular, the passed-in scankeys have heap not index attnums),
but guarantee ordered output, unlike the existing functions. For the moment
these are just very thin wrappers around index_beginscan/index_getnext/etc.
Someday they might need to get smarter; but for now this is just a code
refactoring exercise to reduce the number of direct callers of index_getnext,
in preparation for changing that function's API.
In passing, remove index_getnext_indexitem, which has been dead code for
quite some time, and will have even less use than that in the presence
of run-time-lossy indexes.
