childprocess deaths instead of using one thread per child. This drastastically
reduces the address space usage and should allow for more backends running.
Also change the win32_waitpid functionality to use an IO Completion Port for
queueing child death notices instead of using a fixed-size array.
if either of the input relations can legally be joined to any other rels using
join clauses. This avoids uselessly (and expensively) considering a lot of
really stupid join paths when there is a join restriction with a large
footprint, that is, lots of relations inside its LHS or RHS. My patch of
15-Feb-2007 had been causing the code to consider joining *every* combination
of rels inside such a group, which is exponentially bad :-(. With this
behavior, clauseless bushy joins will be done if necessary, but they'll be
put off as long as possible. Per report from Jakub Ouhrabka.
Backpatch to 8.2. We might someday want to backpatch to 8.1 as well, but 8.1
does not have the problem for OUTER JOIN nests, only for IN-clauses, so it's
not clear anyone's very likely to hit it in practice; and the current patch
doesn't apply cleanly to 8.1.

We may need to be smarter later when there are more built-in configurations,
but for now this is good enough and avoids having to bloat the table.
the sequence. Also, make setval() with is_called = false not affect the
currval state, either. Per report from Kris Jurka that an implicit
ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY unexpectedly caused currval() to become valid.
Since this isn't 100% backwards compatible, it will go into HEAD only;
I'll put a more limited patch into 8.2.
in corner cases such as re-fetching a just-deleted row. We may be able to
relax this someday, but let's find out how many people really care before
we invest a lot of work in it. Per report from Heikki and subsequent
discussion.
While in the neighborhood, make the combination of INSENSITIVE and FOR UPDATE
throw an error, since they are semantically incompatible. (Up to now we've
accepted but just ignored the INSENSITIVE option of DECLARE CURSOR.)
having several of them. Add two more flags: whether the process is
executing an ANALYZE, and whether a vacuum is for Xid wraparound (which
is obviously only set by autovacuum).
Sneakily move the worker's recently-acquired PostAuthDelay to a more useful
place.
neglected to test whether an outer join's join-condition actually refers to
the lower outer join it is looking at. (The comment correctly described what
was supposed to happen, but the code didn't do it...) This often resulted in
adding an unnecessary constraint on the join order of the two outer joins,
which was bad enough. However, it also seems to expose a performance
problem in an older patch (from 15-Feb): once we've decided that there is a
join ordering constraint, we will start trying clauseless joins between every
combination of rels within the constraint, which pointlessly eats up lots of
time and space if there are numerous rels below the outer join. That probably
needs to be revisited :-(. Per gripe from Jakub Ouhrabka.
with the next table on schedule instead of exiting, in all cases instead of
just on query cancel.
Add a errcontext() line indicating the activity of the worker to the error
message when it is cancelled.
Change the WorkerInfo struct to contain a pointer to the worker's PGPROC
instead of just the PID.
Add forgotten post-auth delays, per Simon Riggs. Also to autovac launcher.
then-delete on the current cursor row. The basic fix is that nodeTidscan.c
has to apply heap_get_latest_tid() to the current-scan-TID obtained from the
cursor query; this ensures we get the latest row version to work with.
However, since that only works if the query plan is a TID scan, we also have
to hack the planner to make sure only that type of plan will be selected.
(Formerly, the planner might decide to apply a seqscan if the table is very
small. This change is probably a Good Thing anyway, since it's hard to see
how a seqscan could really win.) That means the execQual.c code to support
CurrentOfExpr as a regular expression type is dead code, so replace it with
just an elog(). Also, add regression tests covering these cases. Note
that the added tests expose the fact that re-fetching an updated row
misbehaves if the cursor used FOR UPDATE. That's an independent bug that
should be fixed later. Per report from Dharmendra Goyal.

but-can't-hurt check for NULL SPI_tuptable, before we try to dereference
same.
if there are zero rows to aggregate over, and the API seems both conceptually
and notationally ugly anyway. We should look for something that improves
on the tsquery-and-text-SELECT version (which is also pretty ugly but at
least it works...), but it seems that will take query infrastructure that
doesn't exist today. (Hm, I wonder if there's anything in or near SQL2003
window functions that would help?) Per discussion.
categories, as per discussion. asciiword (formerly lword) is still
ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general
mixed-alpha-and-digits case. But word (formerly nlword) is now
any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as
before. This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text,
which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it
should simplify matters for parsing most European languages. In particular
it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits
as being regular "words". The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted
similarly.

This removes the direct dependency on shell32.dll and user32.dll, which
eats a lot of "desktop heap" for each backend that's started. The
desktop heap is a very limited resource, causing backends to no
longer start once it's been exhausted.
We still have indirect depdendencies on user32.dll through third party
libraries, but those can't easily be removed.

miscomputation of required palloc size. The crash could only occur if the
input contained lexemes both with and without positions, which is probably not
common in practice. The miscomputation would definitely result in wasted
space. Also fix some inconsistent coding around alignment of strings and
positions in a tsvector value; these errors could also lead to crashes given
mixed with/without position data and a machine that's picky about alignment.
And be more careful about checking for overflow of string offsets.

of smashing them into one text column, and lowercase the column names.
Also, define the output rowtype using OUT parameters instead of a

reason we did not see this before was that the assert() macros in the

We can have just one function, declared as taking regdictionary, and
it will handle both behaviors. Noted while working on documentation.

coding this was seen as useless, but the problem with not including them
is that the error message will often be something about authentication
failure, rather than the more helpful one about 'role is not permitted

renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so. For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway. (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)
Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using. To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.
It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs. However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.
Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly. The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.
it affects. The original coding neglected tablespace entirely (causing
the indexes to move to the database's default tablespace) and for an index
belonging to a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint, it would actually try to
assign the parent table's reloptions to the index :-(. Per bug #3672 and
subsequent investigation.
8.0 and 8.1 did not have reloptions, but the tablespace bug is present.
used to perform MIN(foo) or MAX(foo), since we want to discard null rows in
the indexscan anyway. (This would probably fall out for free if we were
injecting the IS NOT NULL clause somewhere earlier, but given the current
anatomy of the MIN/MAX optimization code we have to do it explicitly.
Fortunately, very little added code is needed.) Per a discussion with
Henk de Wit.
has been consumed, recheck against the latest value of RedoRecPtr before
really sending the signal. This avoids useless checkpoint activity if
XLogWrite is executed when we have a very stale local copy of RedoRecPtr.
The potential for useless checkpoint is very much worse in 8.3 because of
the walwriter process (which never does XLogInsert), so while this behavior
was intentional, it needs to be changed. Per report from Itagaki Takahiro.
