Tom Lane c4f2a0458d Improve reporting of dependencies in DROP to work like the scheme that we
devised for pg_shdepend, namely the individual dependencies are reported as
DETAIL lines rather than coming out as separate NOTICEs.  The client-side
report is capped at 100 lines, but the server log always gets a full report.

Heikki Linnakangas 96675bff1f Fix bug in the WAL recovery code to finish an incomplete split.
CacheInvalidateRelcache() crashes if called in WAL recovery, because the
invalidation infrastructure hasn't been initialized yet.

Back-patch to 8.2, where the bug was introduced.

Neil Conway 109940c635 Editorialization for the text emitted by the "help" psql command.
Basically just reuse the same text that psql emitted as part of
its startup banner in prior versions, and make some whitespace
more consistent with the conventions in other psql command output.

Tom Lane 281a724d5c Rewrite DROP's dependency traversal algorithm into an honest two-pass
algorithm, replacing the original intention of a one-pass search, which
had been hacked up over time to be partially two-pass in hopes of handling
various corner cases better.  It still wasn't quite there, especially as
regards emitting unwanted NOTICE messages.  More importantly, this approach
lets us fix a number of open bugs concerning concurrent DROP scenarios,
because we can take locks during the first pass and avoid traversing to
dependent objects that were just deleted by someone else.

There is more that can be done here, but I'll go ahead and commit the
base patch before working on the options.

Alvaro Herrera cc87402d6e Move BufferGetPageSize and BufferGetPage from bufpage.h to bufmgr.h. It is
more logical that way, and also it reduces the amount of unnecessary includes
in bufpage.h, which is widely used.

My previous patch to bufpage.h should also have credited him as author, but I
forgot (sorry about that).

Tom Lane 2071865caa Update release notes for ALTER AGGREGATE fix. 2008-06-08 21:46:07 +00:00
Tom Lane 395f8b91db ALTER AGGREGATE OWNER seems to have been missed by the last couple of
patches that dealt with object ownership.  It wasn't updating pg_shdepend
nor adjusting the aggregate's ACL.  In 8.2 and up, fix this permanently
by making it use AlterFunctionOwner_oid.  In 8.1, the function code wasn't
factored that way, so just copy and paste.

Tom Lane c1943dbaef Fix pg_get_ruledef() so that negative numeric constants are parenthesized.
This is needed because :: casting binds more tightly than minus, so for
example -1::integer is not the same as (-1)::integer, and there are cases
where the difference is important.  In particular this caused a failure
in SELECT DISTINCT ... ORDER BY ... where expressions that should have
matched were seen as different by the parser; but I suspect that there
could be other cases where failure to parenthesize leads to subtler
semantic differences in reloaded rules.  Per report from Alexandr Popov.

Tom Lane eaa70a3891 Fix initdb to reject a relative path for -X (--xlogdir) argument. This
doesn't work, and the real reason why not is it's unclear where the path
is relative to (initdb's CWD, or the data directory?).  We could make an
arbitrary decision, but it seems best to make the user be unambiguous.
Per gripe from Devrim.

Tom Lane 6a9fffcd0d Refactor SPI_cursor_open/SPI_cursor_open_with_args so that the latter sets
the PARAM_FLAG_CONST flag on the parameters that are passed into the portal,
while the former's behavior is unchanged.  This should only affect the case
where the portal is executing an EXPLAIN; it will cause the generated plan to
look more like what would be generated if the portal were actually executing
the command being explained.  Per gripe from Pavel.

Tom Lane bf4bd50ff7 Copy refint.so and autoinc.so into the src/test/regress directory during
"make all", and then reference them there during the actual tests.  This
makes the handling of these files more parallel to that of regress.so,
and in particular simplifies use of the regression tests outside the
original build tree.  The PGDG and Red Hat RPMs have been doing this via
patches for a very long time.  Inclusion of the change in core was requested
by Jørgen Austvik of Sun, and I can't see any reason not to.

I attempted to fix the MSVC scripts for this too, but they may need
further tweaking ...

Tom Lane 02ac305405 Tweak libpq to avoid crashing due to incorrect buffer size calculation when
we are on a 64-bit machine (ie, size_t is wider than int) and someone passes
in a query string that approaches or exceeds INT_MAX bytes.  Also, just for
paranoia's sake, guard against similar overflows in sizing the input buffer.

The backend will not in the foreseeable future be prepared to send or receive
strings exceeding 1GB, so I didn't take the more invasive step of switching
all the buffer index variables from int to size_t; though someday we might
want to do that.

I have a suspicion that this is not the only such bug in libpq, but this
fix is enough to take care of the crash reported by Francisco Reyes.

Tom Lane 5914140a3b Fix some bugs introduced by the 8.2-era conversion of cube functions to V1
calling convention.  cube_inter and cube_distance could attempt to pfree
their input arguments, and cube_dim returned a value from a struct it
might have just pfree'd (which would only really cause a problem in a
debug build, but it's still wrong).  Per bug #4208 and additional code
reading.

In HEAD and 8.3, I also made a batch of cosmetic changes to bring these
functions into line with the preferred coding style for V1 functions,
ie declare and fetch all the arguments at the top so readers can easily
see what they are.

Tom Lane a8f98c068e Improve GRANT documentation to point out that UPDATE and DELETE typically
require SELECT privilege as well, since you normally need to read existing
column values within such commands.  This behavior is according to spec,
but we'd never documented it before.  Per gripe from Volkan Yazici.

Tom Lane 7e8374a3e0 Require bind_textdomain_codeset() not just gettext() to enable NLS support.
GNU gettext before 0.10.36 does not have that function, and is generally too

Magnus Hagander ea7f9648fe Explicitly bind gettext() to the UTF8 locale when in use.
This is required on Windows due to the special locale
handling for UTF8 that doesn't change the full environment.

Tom Lane 7b8a63c3e9 Alter the xxx_pattern_ops opclasses to use the regular equality operator of
the associated datatype as their equality member.  This means that these
opclasses can now support plain equality comparisons along with LIKE tests,
thus avoiding the need for an extra index in some applications.  This
optimization was not possible when the pattern opclasses were first introduced,
because we didn't insist that text equality meant bitwise equality; but we
do now, so there is no semantic difference between regular and pattern
equality operators.

I removed the name_pattern_ops opclass altogether, since it's really useless:
name's regular comparisons are just strcmp() and are unlikely to become
something different.  Instead teach indxpath.c that btree name_ops can be
used for LIKE whether or not the locale is C.  This might lead to a useful
speedup in LIKE queries on the system catalogs in non-C locales.

The ~=~ and ~<>~ operators are gone altogether.  (It would have been nice to
keep them for backward compatibility's sake, but since the pg_amop structure
doesn't allow multiple equality operators per opclass, there's no way.)

A not-immediately-obvious incompatibility is that the sort order within
bpchar_pattern_ops indexes changes --- it had been identical to plain
strcmp, but is now trailing-blank-insensitive.  This will impact
in-place upgrades, if those ever happen.

Per discussions a couple months ago.

Tom Lane a3d9a2421a Fix an old corner-case bug in set_config_option: push_old_value has to be
called before, not after, calling the assign_hook if any.  This is because
push_old_value might fail (due to palloc out-of-memory), and in that case
there would be no stack entry to tell transaction abort to undo the GUC
assignment.  Of course the actual assignment to the GUC variable hasn't
happened yet --- but the assign_hook might have altered subsidiary state.
Without a stack entry we won't call it again to make it undo such actions.
So this is necessary to make the world safe for assign_hooks with side
effects.  Per a discussion a couple weeks ago with Magnus.

Back-patch to 8.0.  7.x did not have the problem because it did not have
allocatable stacks of GUC values.
2008-05-26 18:54:29 +00:00
Tom Lane 8c2ac75c5c Adjust timestamp regression tests to prevent two low-probability failure
cases.  Recent buildfarm experience shows that it is sometimes possible
to execute several SQL commands in less time than the granularity of
Windows' not-very-high-resolution gettimeofday(), leading to a failure
because the tests expect the value of now() to change and it doesn't.
Also, it was recognized some time ago that the same area of the tests
could fail if local midnight passes between the insertion and the checking
of the values for 'yesterday', 'tomorrow', etc.  Clean all this up per
ideas from myself and Greg Stark.

There remains a window for failure if the transaction block is entered
exactly at local midnight (so that 'now' and 'today' have the same value),
but that seems low-probability enough to live with.

Since the point of this change is mostly to eliminate buildfarm noise,
back-patch to all versions we are still actively testing.
