Bruce Momjian
bf4507e3af I think it's important that it's actually documented that they can add 
primary keys after the fact!

Also, we need to add regression tests for alter table / add primary key
and alter table / drop constraint.  These shouldn't be added until 7.3
tho
methinks...

9832a235c5 Modify COPY TO to emit carriage returns and newlines as backslash escapes 
(backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
munging.  In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.

99a3396822 ecpg.sgml manual page updated to ON. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you run 'ecpg --help' you get the following:

          -t   turn on autocommit of transactions

amongst the other options... Shouldn't this be OFF as per the
documentation?

Best regards, Lee.

004293317f Here's a patch adding documentation for the PQescapeBytea function to 
libpq.sgml

I was trying (but gave up) to cross-reference back to the input escape
table in the User's Guide, but could not get the documentation to
compile with a cross-book xref (missing IDREF error). Can a cross-book
xref be done?

01e0dae689 I've created a new section to func.sgml, "Binary String Functions and 
Operators", plagiarized shamelessly from the "String Functions and
Operators" section. There were enough differences that it made sense (at
least to me) to give this its own section instead of cramming it in with
normal string functions. This way I could also make the examples
relevant, which is particularly important for bytea.

One thing I think worth mentioning: while documenting the trim()
function I realized that I never implemented the bytea equivalent of
rtrim and ltrim. Therefore, the 'leading' and 'trailing' forms of trim,
available with text, are not available with bytea (I'd be happy to
correct this, but since it would require an initdb, I guess not until
7.3) -- the submitted doc accurately reflects this.

I will look for other areas of the docs that need mention of bytea, but
any guidance would be much appreciated.

--

Here's a second bytea documentation patch. This one significantly
expands the "Binary Data" section added by Bruce recently.

a585c20d12 Tweak parser so that there is a defined representation for datatypes 
bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1.  Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1.  This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC.  A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale.  This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior.  Part of response to bug #513.

duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.

and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now.  ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.

0b3bca6c6f Change plpgsql to depend on main parser's type-declaration grammar, 
rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type
declaration looks like.  This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql
will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.

255bd588a7 Hack for Jade vs TeX interpretation of "--" 2001-10-04 22:25:48 +00:00
Tom Lane
03b0a589d1 Consider interpreting a function call as a trivial (binary-compatible) 
type coercion after failing to find an exact match in pg_proc, but before
considering interpretations that involve a function call with one or
more argument type coercions.  This avoids surprises wherein what looks
like a type coercion is interpreted as coercing to some third type and
then to the destination type, as in Dave Blasby's bug report of 3-Oct-01.
See subsequent discussion in pghackers.

more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of
file descriptors.  See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers
around 23-Dec-2000.

499abb0c0f Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between 
existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features.  Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks.  All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption.  All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.

Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list

while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.

c0d4d5473a Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow; 
Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)

In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.

Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.

Disallow dropping the current user and session user.

Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back.  This could lead to "deadlocks".)

CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

1834987fb6 I've attached the fixed version of the patch below. After the 
discussion on pgsql-hackers (especially the frightening memory dump in
<12273.999562219@sss.pgh.pa.us>), we decided that it is best not to
use identifiers from an untrusted source at all.  Therefore, all
claims of the suitability of PQescapeString() for identifiers have
been removed.

bd9b32803b Here is my much-promised patch to let people add UNIQUE constraints after 
table creation time.  Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the
next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time.  (Which
is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs)

Rundown
-------

* I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and
exported it in analyze.h

* I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support
makingObjectNames and creating indices

* I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and
says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and
reporting nothing!!!

* I have modified the docs.

Algorithm
---------

* If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name.  I'm
not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open
the relation before doing this step?

* Open relation in access exclusive mode

* Check that the constraint does not already exist

* Define the new index

* Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index

6c91eef7b7 Fix handling of pg_type.typdefault per bug report from Dave Blasby. 
If there's anyone out there who's actually using datatype-defined
default values, this will be an incompatible change in behavior ...

buffer manager with 'pg_clog', a specialized access method modeled
on pg_xlog.  This simplifies startup (don't need to play games to
open pg_log; among other things, OverrideTransactionSystem goes away),
should improve performance a little, and opens the door to recycling
commit log space by removing no-longer-needed segments of the commit
log.  Actual recycling is not there yet, but I felt I should commit
this part separately since it'd still be useful if we chose not to
do transaction ID wraparound.

f933766ba7 Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions in 
pgsql-hackers.  pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name.  This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.

Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane.

5f7c2bdb53 sum() on int2 and int4 columns now uses an int8, not numeric, accumulator 
for speed reasons; its result type also changes to int8.  avg() on these
datatypes now accumulates the running sum in int8 for speed; but we still
deliver the final result as numeric, so that fractional accuracy is
preserved.

count() now counts and returns in int8, not int4.  I am a little nervous
about this possibly breaking users' code, but there didn't seem to be
a strong sentiment for avoiding the problem.  If we get complaints during
beta, we can change count back to int4 and add a "count8" aggregate.
For that matter, users can do it for themselves with a simple CREATE
AGGREGATE command; the int4inc function is still present, so no C hacking
is needed.

Also added max() and min() aggregates for OID that do proper unsigned
comparison, instead of piggybacking on int4 aggregates.

can now be used to drop any user-defined language, not just the supplied
ones.

84d2c518fe I noticed that pltcl didn't have any way to get to SPI_lastoid like plpgsql does.. I started using pltcl a lot because I like to decide when and how my queries get planned.. so I put one together really quick 
Sorry I don't have the original around to make a quick diff, but its a very small change... I think this should be in the next release, there's no reason not to have it.

its a function with no expected arguments, so you can use it like:
spi_exec "INSERT INTO mytable(columns...) VALUES(values..)"
set oid [spi_lastoid]
spi_exec "SELECT mytable_id from mytable WHERE oid=$oid"

It just didn't make sense for me to use plpgsql and pltcl, or just screw
them both and use SPI from C.

c8076f09d2 Restructure index AM interface for index building and index tuple deletion, 
per previous discussion on pghackers.  Most of the duplicate code in
different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine
in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about
inserting recently-dead tuples, etc.  (I also removed support for EXTEND
INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and
it cluttered the code a lot.)  The retail indextuple deletion routines have
been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside
the access method.  I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet,
but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping
for deletions.  Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various
hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns.

Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this,
gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko
bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with
the performance problems we've heard about occasionally).

Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static
state that needs to be reset after an error.  We discovered this need long
ago for btree, but missed the other guys.

Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.

320b6db090 Changes from Vince Vielhaber to allow the optional clauses of CREATE 
USER and ALTER USER to appear in any order, not only the fixed order
they used to be required to appear in.
Also, some changes from Tom Lane to create a FULL option for VACUUM;
it doesn't do anything yet, but I needed to change many of the same
files to make that happen, so now seemed like a good time.

1d584f97b9 Clean up various to-do items associated with system indexes: 
pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname.
pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid.
pg_am now has unique index on oid.
pg_opclass now has unique index on oid.
pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum.
Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache.
Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons
(caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is
rather pointless).
Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on
adrelid+adnum.

Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the
primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not.
IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared
during initial creation of tables and indexes.  In theory we might now
support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get
entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases.

Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have
the same OID.  (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's
actually used to do lookups ;-))

There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap
relations.  Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired
entries in pg_class and friends.

Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki,
since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless.
Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared
system relations.

Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use
AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do).
Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.

0b370ea7c8 Clean up some minor problems exposed by further thought about Panon's bug 
report on old-style functions invoked by RI triggers.  We had a number of
other places that were being sloppy about which memory context FmgrInfo
subsidiary data will be allocated in.  Turns out none of them actually
cause a problem in 7.1, but this is for arcane reasons such as the fact
that old-style triggers aren't supported anyway.  To avoid getting burnt
later, I've restructured the trigger support so that we don't keep trigger
FmgrInfo structs in relcache memory.  Some other related cleanups too:
it's not really necessary to call fmgr_info at all while setting up
the index support info in relcache entries, because those ScanKeyEntry
structs are never used to invoke the functions.  This should speed up
relcache initialization a tiny bit.

a056f14be0 Cause plpgsql's PERFORM to behave according to its documentation, 
which says that PERFORM will execute any SELECT query and discard the
result.  The former implementation would in fact raise an error if the
result contained more than one row or more than one column.

Also, change plpgsql's error-logging mechanism to emit the additional
messages about error location at NOTICE rather than DEBUG level.  This
allows them to be seen by the client without having to dig into the
postmaster log file (which may be nonexistent or inaccessible by the
client).

f36fc7bb63 I haven't tried building postgres with the Watcom compiler for 7.1 because 
it does not support 64bit integers. AFAIK that's the default data type for
OIDs, so I am not surprised that this does not work. Use gcc instead.
BTW., 7.1 does not compile as is with gcc either, I believed the
required patches made it into the 7.1.1 release but obviously I missed
the deadline.
Since the ports mailing list does not seem to be archived I have attached
a copy of the patch (for 7.1 and 7.1.1).

I've just performed a build of a Watcom compiled version and found a couple
of bugs in the watcom specific part of that patch. Please use the attached
version instead.

f7659a9c18 This patch adds a new configure option --with-pltcl-unknown which 
enables pltcl unknown support.


Also it adds substituting of tclsh with tclsh that was by configure in
pltcl_*mod scripts. For example, On freebsd, tclsh can be called
tclsh8.2 or
tclsh8.3 depending on installed version of Tcl.

After patching files
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_loadmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_delmod
must be renamed(copied,repocopied) to

a79b698adb Here's a version of my suggested diffs transplanted to 7.1 beta 5. I'm 
still looking at the best way to integrate Tom Vijlbrief's fixes
(insofar as they're still needed); would 7.2 be a suitable time for
incompatible API changes?


Jeroen


Changes:

(*) Introduced bool, true, false (replacing some int, 1, 0)
(*) Made some member functions const
(*) Documented GetIsNull()
(*) Marked DisplayTuples() and PrintTuples() as obsolescent; fixed possible
    portability problem (assumed that NULL pointer equals all-zero bit pattern)
(*) PrintTuples(): renamed width parameter to fillAlign to conform with other
    usage; fixed memory leak and compile issue w.r.t. field separator (should
    also slightly improve performance)
(*) Fixed some minor compilation issues
(*) Moved "using namespace std;" out of headers, where they didn't belong; used
    new (temporary) preprocessor macro PGSTD to do this
(*) Made ToString() static, removed unneeded memset(), made buffer size adapt
    to sizeof(int)
(*) Made some constructors explicit
(*) Changed some const std::string & parameters to plain std::string
(*) Marked PgCursor::Cursor(std::string) as obsolescent (setter with same name
    as getter--bad style)
(*) Renamed some paramaters previously named "string"
(*) Introduced size_type typedef for number of tuples in result set
(*) PgTransaction now supports re-opening after closing, and aborts if not
    explicitly committed prior to destruction

6cda3ad8fe Cause planner to make use of average-column-width statistic that is now 
collected by ANALYZE.  Also, add some modest amount of intelligence to
guesses that are used for varlena columns in the absence of any ANALYZE
statistics.  The 'width' reported by EXPLAIN is finally something less
than totally bogus for varlena columns ... and, in consequence, hashjoin
estimating should be a little better ...

04e14fa350 drop_function.sgml: 
===================
In Notes:
 Refer to CREATE FUNCTION for information on creating aggregate functions.
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I assume it must read C function instead.

In Compatibility SQL/PSM:
 SQL/PSM is a proposed standard.

 We had that before: remove proposed.


drop_index.sgml:
================
<REFNAME>: Removes existing indexes from a database

as far as I can see index should be singular. The command description is
written as if only one index can be removed at a time. Interestingly
enough, in v7.0.2 it was in fact singular. Am I mistaken here?

drop_operator.sgml:
===================
In Outputs the arguments are referred to as type and type2, but the synopsis
and Inputs section these are left_type and right_type, respectively. Also,
oper is used in Outputs versus id in Inputs/Synopsis. In the translation I
follow the replaceables used in the Inputs/Synopsis part.

f905d65ee3 Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available as 
a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored.  ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values).  Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables.  The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.

There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner.  But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.

A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

341cb70044 The following patch updates the FAQ_AIX and makes C++ code work with 
more recent versions of the IBM C++ compiler (now called VisualAge C++).
The C++ part was previously broken (g++ and xlC), thus this is zero risk.
Only AIX specific parts are touched (1 Makefile.shlib line (link with $(COMPILER
) instead
of $(CC) and one shell script line (parameter -C to nm to not demangle C++ symbo
ls for
.exp file)).

I thus ask you to please apply this patch before release.

With or without this patch RC1 on AIX 4.3.2 RS6000 passes "gmake check" for both
 the native
compiler vac.C 5.0.1 and gcc 2.95.2 :-)

4d14fe0048 XLOG (and related) changes: 
* Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control.
  On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one
  is unreadable.  Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record
  is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie,
  complete loss of pg_xlog).  Also add a version number for pg_control
  itself.  Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC
  parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway).

* Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered
  in the WAL log since the last one.  This is not so much to avoid I/O
  as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two
  checkpoints.  If the things are right next to each other then there's
  not a lot of redundancy gained...

* Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs
  on alternate bytes.  Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard.

* Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k.

* Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation.  (This is of
  dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.)

* Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file
  wraparound at the 4 gig mark.

* Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file
  format declarations out to include files where planned contrib
  utilities can get at them.

* Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or
  every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first.  It is also
  possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster
  (undocumented feature...)

* Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID
  in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no
  processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists).

* Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency
  stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities.  Clean up signal
  handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster
  will react to signals better.

* Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added
  insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.

9c9936587c Implement COMMIT_SIBLINGS parameter to allow pre-commit delay to occur 
only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions.  This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all.  Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting.  It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.

d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there 
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

87070ccc13 It looks Ok, but it has one unnecessary step. There is no need to do the "mv 
privkey.pem cert.pem.pw" if you just use "privkey.pem" in the following
openssl command (e.g. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem".
But there is nothing wrong with it as it is now, as far as I can see.
