timezone actually has a daylight-savings rule. This avoids breaking
cases that used to work because they went through the DecodePosixTimezone
code path. Per contrib regression failures (mea culpa for not running
those yesterday...). Also document the already-applied change to allow
GMT offsets up to 14 hours.
modules; the first try was not usable in EXEC_BACKEND builds (e.g.,
Windows). Instead, just provide some entry points to increase the
allocation requests during postmaster start, and provide a dedicated
LWLock that can be used to synchronize allocation operations performed
by backends. Per discussion with Marc Munro.
max_stack_depth is not set to an unsafe value.
This commit also provides configure-time checking for <sys/resource.h>,

been initialized yet. This can happen because there are code paths that call
SysCacheGetAttr() on a tuple originally fetched from a different syscache
(hopefully on the same catalog) than the one specified in the call. It
doesn't seem useful or robust to try to prevent that from happening, so just
improve the function to cope instead. Per bug#2678 from Jeff Trout. The
specific example shown by Jeff is new in 8.1, but to be on the safe side
I'm backpatching 8.0 as well. We could patch 7.x similarly but I think
that's probably overkill, given the lack of evidence of old bugs of this ilk.
remaining functions, simplify pglz_compress's API to not require a useless
data copy when compression fails. Also add a check in pglz_decompress that
the expected amount of data was decompressed.
static variables. This avoids any risk of potential non-reentrancy,
and in particular offers a much cleaner workaround for the Intel compiler
bug that was affecting ginutil.c.
Buildfarm results from 'gazelle' show that there are indeed libedit
versions for which history.h is a needed header, even though it's
apparently been dropped entirely in other versions. Grumble.
Per Bob Friesenhahn's report, this file is not supplied by some versions
of libedit, and even when it is supplied it seems to be just a link to
readline.h, so we don't need to include it anyway.
Also, ensure that we won't try to use a too-old version of Bison.
The previous coding would bleat but then use it anyway; better to invoke
the 'missing' script if any grammar files need to be rebuilt.
repeatedly. Now that we don't have to worry about memory leaks from
glibc's qsort, we can safely put CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the tuplesort
comparators, as was requested a couple months ago. Also, get rid of
non-reentrancy and an extra level of function call in tuplesort.c by
providing a variant qsort_arg() API that passes an extra void * argument
through to the comparison routine. (We might want to use that in other
places too, I didn't look yet.)

- shared_buffers = 32000kB => 32MB
- temp_buffers = 8000kB => 8MB
- wal_buffers = 8 => 64kB
The code of initdb was a bit modified to write MB-unit values.
Values greater than 8000kB are rounded out to MB.
GUC_UNIT_XBLOCKS is added for wal_buffers. It is like GUC_UNIT_BLOCKS,
but uses XLOG_BLCKSZ instead of BLCKSZ.
Also, I cleaned up the test of GUC_UNIT_* flags in preparation to
add more unit flags in less bits.

the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT
NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null. The former coding got
this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it
could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong
for IS NOT NULL. Per report from Teodor.
I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec. This
probably needs more consideration.
return true for exactly the characters treated as whitespace by their flex

Also fix a passel of unsafe usages of <ctype.h> functions, that is, ye olde
char-vs-unsigned-char issue. I won't miss <ctype.h> when we are finally
able to stop using it.
even when a single relation requires more than max_fsm_pages pages. Also,
make VACUUM emit a warning in this case, since it likely means that VACUUM

Frost and others of unexpected changes in the claimed max_fsm_pages need.
is a large enough histogram, it will use the number of matches in the
histogram to derive a selectivity estimate, rather than the admittedly
pretty bogus heuristics involving examining the pattern contents. I set
'large enough' at 100, but perhaps we should change that later. Also
apply the same technique in contrib/ltree's <@ and @> estimator. Per
discussion with Stefan Kaltenbrunner and Matteo Beccati.
tables in the query compete for cache space, not just the one we are
currently costing an indexscan for. This seems more realistic, and it
definitely will help in examples recently exhibited by Stefan
Kaltenbrunner. To get the total size of all the tables involved, we must
tweak the handling of 'append relations' a bit --- formerly we looked up
information about the child tables on-the-fly during set_append_rel_pathlist,
but it needs to be done before we start doing any cost estimation, so
push it into the add_base_rels_to_query scan.
contrib functionality. Along the way, remove the USER_LOCKS configuration
symbol, since it no longer makes any sense to try to compile that out.
No user documentation yet ... mmoncure has promised to write some.
Thanks to Abhijit Menon-Sen for creating a first draft to work from.
and create a new view pg_timezone_names that provides information about
the zones known in the 'zic' database. Magnus Hagander, with some
additional work by Tom Lane.
a schema is our own temp schema or another backend's temp schema, and use
these in place of some former kluges in information_schema. Per my
proposal of yesterday.
we probably should make them work reliably for all arrays. Fix code
to handle NULLs and multidimensional arrays, move it into arrayfuncs.c.
GIN is still restricted to indexing arrays with no null elements, however.
agreed these symbols are less easily confused. I made new pg_operator
entries (with new OIDs) for the old names, so as to provide backward
compatibility while making it pretty easy to remove the old names in
some future release cycle. This commit only touches the core datatypes,
contrib will be fixed separately.
than being equivalent to setting log_min_duration_statement to zero, this
option now forces logging of all query durations, but doesn't force logging
of query text. Also, add duration logging coverage for fastpath function
calls.
proposal. Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and
logging overhead is avoided when disabled.
log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example
now looks like
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in
LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 0.394 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 1.251 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
LOG: duration: 0.566 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
LOG: duration: 0.173 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
(This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration
logging purposes, BTW.)
Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands
are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding
was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it
did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all.
This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration
should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.
that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command,
treating the parameter values as constants in the planner. This removes
the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line
parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding,
LIKE optimization, etc. After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.
can create or modify rules for the table. Do setRuleCheckAsUser() while
loading rules into the relcache, rather than when defining a rule. This
ensures that permission checks for tables referenced in a rule are done with
respect to the current owner of the rule's table, whereas formerly ALTER TABLE
OWNER would fail to update the permission checking for associated rules.
Removal of separate RULE privilege is needed to prevent various scenarios
in which a grantee of RULE privilege could effectively have any privilege
of the table owner. For backwards compatibility, GRANT/REVOKE RULE is still
accepted, but it doesn't do anything. Per discussion here:

the target relation(s). There might be some cases where we could discard
the pending event instead, but for the moment a conservative approach
seems sufficient. Per report from Markus Schiltknecht and subsequent
discussion.
PGPROC array into snapshots, and use this information to avoid visits
to pg_subtrans in HeapTupleSatisfiesSnapshot. This appears to solve
the pg_subtrans-related context swap storm problem that's been reported
by several people for 8.1. While at it, modify GetSnapshotData to not
take an exclusive lock on ProcArrayLock, as closer analysis shows that
shared lock is always sufficient.
