Teodor Sigaev f2c064afcb Cleanup vectors of GISTENTRY and eliminate problem with 64-bit strict-aligned
boxes. Change interface to user-defined GiST support methods union and
picksplit. Now instead of bytea struct it used special GistEntryVector
structure.

Tom Lane 8d9a28eeef Use fuzzy comparison of path costs in add_path(), so that paths with the
same path keys and nearly equivalent costs will be considered redundant.
The exact nature of the fuzziness may get adjusted later based on current
discussions, but no one has shot a hole in the basic idea yet ...

Tom Lane 513bbf4046 Fix brain-dead placement of global variable declaration. 2004-03-27 03:08:42 +00:00
Tom Lane 7820ee24c9 Now that we are allowing index opclasses to contain operators that are
only stable and not immutable, pred_test_simple_clause has to guard
against making invalid deductions.  Add a test for immutability of
the selected test_op.

Teodor Sigaev eebdfcdbe6 1 Minimize memory allocation for void (but not null) value.
2 Add silly ordering for ts_vector to aim grouping, union, except etc. Don't use BTree opclass (tsvector_ops).

Tom Lane 457ad3925d Add a more useful error message for the case where someone tries to pass
a whole row or record variable into a SQL function.  Eventually this case
should be made to actually work, but for now this is better than what it
did before.

Tom Lane 8899a2aba9 Replace max_expr_depth parameter with a max_stack_depth parameter that
is measured in kilobytes and checked against actual physical execution
stack depth, as per my proposal of 30-Dec.  This gives us a fairly
bulletproof defense against crashing due to runaway recursive functions.

2004-03-24 04:07:31 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 51b488535e Here's a patch implementing the "thread method" to workaround the bug
with socket calls in signal handlers (APC) on Win32. See details in mail
to pgsql-hackers-win32 a couple of minutes ago.

special Win32 open flag FILE_SHARE_DELETE.

tiny improvements.

Bruce Momjian 6daf396879 Add thread locking to SSL and Kerberos connections.
I have removed the docs mentioning that SSL and Kerberos are not
thread-safe.

Bruce Momjian fcfa2c790a Document fallback to tcp/ip localhost connection from psql on ports
without unix domain sockets (win32).
2004-03-24 03:27:46 +00:00
Neil Conway 017e3e244a Fix some whitespace formatting, and remove an overly-verbose
parameter description: postgresql.conf is not the place for
documentating the functionality of a GUC var.

Bruce Momjian f23cce73b3 Use the new GUC variable default_with_oids in pg_dump, rather than using
WITH/WITHOUT OIDS in dump files.  This makes dump files more portable.

I have updated the pg_dump version so old binary dumps will load fine.

Pre-7.5 dumps use WITHOUT OIDS in SQL were needed, so they should be
fine.

Neil Conway 533d0915cf Update the float8 regression tests: they should now pass on FreeBSD 4.x
and (in theory) QNX. Thanks to Chris KL for the report.

Bruce Momjian 48b2802eee When changing select() calls for delays into pg_usleep(), two comments
in s_lock.c were not updated, and still refers to select. Made my grep
hit the wrong files, so I figured a simple patch was in order.. (other
refs in the same comment block was changed..)

Tom Lane 24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.

Bruce Momjian ee455f81a5 fflush() FILE buffer to descriptor so stat call gets proper size in fseeko.c.
Fixed problem with pg_dump tar backups.  Only happens on platforms that
use our port/fseeko.c, which is currently BSD/OS and NetBSD.
2004-03-23 05:26:53 +00:00
Neil Conway fd4f3b3b62 Improve the locale and character set docs, add some <xref>s pointing
to the character set docs where appropriate, and improve the postmaster
reference page. Character set cross-refs suggested by Gavin Kistner.

Bruce Momjian 5688e45979 Fix getpwuid_r call:
*result = getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen);
2004-03-23 02:03:55 +00:00
Tom Lane 2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

Tom Lane 0d88dd1e50 Before deciding we can use a socket for statistics collection, test to
ensure that it actually passes data.  This catches cases such as a kernel
packet filter rule that makes the socket useless.

LIKE.  Per gripe from Patrick Samson.
