Tom Lane 6ee2a3be4a Fix pg_dump to not crash if -t or a similar switch is used to select a serial
sequence for dumping without also selecting its owning table.  Make it not try
to emit ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY in this situation.
Per report from Michael Nolan.

Alvaro Herrera e2a186b03c Add a multi-worker capability to autovacuum. This allows multiple worker
processes to be running simultaneously.  Also, now autovacuum processes do not
count towards the max_connections limit; they are counted separately from
regular processes, and are limited by the new GUC variable
autovacuum_max_workers.

The launcher now has intelligence to launch workers on each database every
autovacuum_naptime seconds, limited only on the max amount of worker slots
available.

Also, the global worker I/O utilization is limited by the vacuum cost-based
delay feature.  Workers are "balanced" so that the total I/O consumption does
not exceed the established limit.  This part of the patch was contributed by
ITAGAKI Takahiro.

Per discussion.

Tom Lane 42dc4b66e6 Make plancache store cursor options so it can pass them to planner during
a replan.  I had originally thought this was not necessary, but the new
SPI facilities create a path whereby queries planned with non-default
options can get into the cache, so it is necessary.

Tom Lane f01b196597 Support scrollable cursors (ie, 'direction' clause in FETCH) in plpgsql.
Pavel Stehule, reworked a bit by Tom.
2007-04-16 17:21:24 +00:00
Tom Lane 66888f7424 Expose more cursor-related functionality in SPI: specifically, allow
access to the planner's cursor-related planning options, and provide new
FETCH/MOVE routines that allow access to the full power of those commands.
Small refactoring of planner(), pg_plan_query(), and pg_plan_queries()
APIs to make it convenient to pass the planning options down from SPI.

This is the core-code portion of Pavel Stehule's patch for scrollable
cursor support in plpgsql; I'll review and apply the plpgsql changes
separately.

Tom Lane fa92d21a48 Avoid running build_index_pathkeys() in situations where there cannot
possibly be any useful pathkeys --- to wit, queries with neither any
join clauses nor any ORDER BY request.  It's nearly free to check for
this case and it saves a useful fraction of the planning time for simple
queries.

Andrew Dunstan 6506a584cc Enable building contrib/xml2 if configured using --with-libxml.
If this breaks things due to missing libxslt, then I'll have to
revert it, but let's see if it breaks the buildfarm.

Workarounds in case libxslt is missing include:
. don't configure with libxml, or
. don't build contrib modules from the contrib Makefile (use the individual module Makefiles instead), or
. change the xml2 Makefile

Neil Conway 85bbf01e08 Minor fixes for the EXPLAIN reference page. Mention the fact that
EXPLAIN ANALYZE can sometimes be significantly slower than running
the same query normally, and make some minor markup improvements.

Tom Lane 995ba280c1 Rearrange mdsync() looping logic to avoid the problem that a sufficiently
fast flow of new fsync requests can prevent mdsync() from ever completing.
This was an unforeseen consequence of a patch added in Mar 2006 to prevent
the fsync request queue from overflowing.  Problem identified by Heikki
Linnakangas and independently by ITAGAKI Takahiro; fix based on ideas from
Takahiro-san, Heikki, and Tom.

Back-patch as far as 8.1 because a previous back-patch introduced the problem
into 8.1 ...

Tom Lane ebb6bae539 Cancel pending fsync requests during WAL replay of DROP DATABASE, per bug
report from David Darville.  Back-patch as far as 8.1, which may or may not
have the problem but it seems a safe change anyway.

Neil Conway d13e903bea RESET SESSION, plus related new DDL commands. Patch from Marko Kreen,
reviewed by Neil Conway. This patch adds the following DDL command
variants: RESET SESSION, RESET TEMP, RESET PLANS, CLOSE ALL, and
DEALLOCATE ALL. RESET SESSION is intended for use by connection
pool software and the like, in order to reset a client session
to something close to its initial state.

Note that while most of these command variants can be executed
inside a transaction block (but are not transaction-aware!),
RESET SESSION cannot. While this is inconsistent, it is intended
to catch programmer mistakes: RESET SESSION in an open transaction
block is probably unintended.

Tom Lane 226a100568 Code review for btree page split WAL reduction patch. Make it actually work
(original code *always* created a full-page image for the left page, thus
leaving the intended savings unrealized), avoid risk of not having enough room
on the page during xlog restore, squeeze out another couple bytes in the xlog
record, clean up neglected comments.

Tom Lane 56218fbc48 Minor tweaking of index special-space definitions so that the various
index types can be reliably distinguished by examining the special space
on an index page.  Per my earlier proposal, plus the realization that
there's no need for btree's vacuum cycle ID to cycle through every possible
16-bit value.  Restricting its range a little costs nearly nothing and
eliminates the possibility of collisions.
Memo to self: remember to make bitmap indexes play along with this scheme,
assuming that patch ever gets accepted.
