Peter Eisentraut 14d330b5b6 Use <mediaobject> instead of <graphic> for forward compatibility. Be more 
flexible about the extension of the graphic files, allow for other formats
in print output.  (Generating these formats is not implemented yet.)

Bruce Momjian ebfa88c4ec Update TODO list. 2001-09-29 21:37:06 +00:00
Tom Lane 499abb0c0f Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between 
existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features.  Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks.  All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption.  All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.

Tom Lane 35b7601b04 Add an overall timeout on the client authentication cycle, so that 
a hung client or lost connection can't indefinitely block a postmaster
child (not to mention the possibility of deliberate DoS attacks).
Timeout is controlled by new authentication_timeout GUC variable,
which I set to 60 seconds by default ... does that seem reasonable?

Peter Eisentraut 4a4abd4232 Generate index.html as the root file name of the documentation set, 
rather than making index.html a symlink to the autogenerated name.
Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks
very well (MacOS X).

(The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make
targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.)

Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging.  Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.

Peter Eisentraut 264f8f2b6c Install dynamically loadable modules into a private subdirectory 
under libdir, for a cleaner separation in the installation layout
and compatibility with binary packaging standards.  Point backend's
default search location there.  The contrib modules are also
installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the
default search path as well.  No changes in user interface
nevertheless.

Peter Eisentraut c0d4d5473a Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow; 
Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)

In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.

Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.

Disallow dropping the current user and session user.

Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back.  This could lead to "deadlocks".)

CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

Bruce Momjian 1834987fb6 I've attached the fixed version of the patch below. After the 
discussion on pgsql-hackers (especially the frightening memory dump in
<12273.999562219@sss.pgh.pa.us>), we decided that it is best not to
use identifiers from an untrusted source at all.  Therefore, all
claims of the suitability of PQescapeString() for identifiers have
been removed.

Bruce Momjian bd9b32803b Here is my much-promised patch to let people add UNIQUE constraints after 
table creation time.  Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the
next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time.  (Which
is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs)

Rundown
-------

* I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and
exported it in analyze.h

* I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support
makingObjectNames and creating indices

* I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and
says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and
reporting nothing!!!

* I have modified the docs.

Algorithm
---------

* If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name.  I'm
not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open
the relation before doing this step?

* Open relation in access exclusive mode

* Check that the constraint does not already exist

* Define the new index

* Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index

not truly the correct behavior.  Per today's pghackers discussion.

See attached revised patch. (I'm sure the configure.in stuff can be done
right/better, I'm just not enough of a autoconf guru to know what to
change it to.)

Tom Lane 6c91eef7b7 Fix handling of pg_type.typdefault per bug report from Dave Blasby. 
If there's anyone out there who's actually using datatype-defined
default values, this will be an incompatible change in behavior ...
but the old behavior was so broken that I doubt anyone was using it.

Tom Lane 2589735da0 Replace implementation of pg_log as a relation accessed through the 
buffer manager with 'pg_clog', a specialized access method modeled
on pg_xlog.  This simplifies startup (don't need to play games to
open pg_log; among other things, OverrideTransactionSystem goes away),
should improve performance a little, and opens the door to recycling
commit log space by removing no-longer-needed segments of the commit
log.  Actual recycling is not there yet, but I felt I should commit
this part separately since it'd still be useful if we chose not to
do transaction ID wraparound.

Tom Lane f933766ba7 Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions in 
pgsql-hackers.  pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name.  This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.

Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane.

Tom Lane d4f4b971a4 Sequences are now based on int8, not int4, arithmetic. SERIAL pseudo-type 
has an alias SERIAL4 and a sister SERIAL8.  SERIAL8 is just the same
except the created column is type int8 not int4.
initdb forced.  Note this also breaks any chance of pg_upgrade from 7.1,
unless we hack up pg_upgrade to drop and recreate sequences.  (Which is
not out of the question, but I don't wanna do it.)

Bruce Momjian 495f996765 Put back changes I overwrote in packaging 7.1.3. 2001-08-14 23:38:20 +00:00
Tom Lane 5f7c2bdb53 sum() on int2 and int4 columns now uses an int8, not numeric, accumulator 
for speed reasons; its result type also changes to int8.  avg() on these
datatypes now accumulates the running sum in int8 for speed; but we still
deliver the final result as numeric, so that fractional accuracy is
preserved.

count() now counts and returns in int8, not int4.  I am a little nervous
about this possibly breaking users' code, but there didn't seem to be
a strong sentiment for avoiding the problem.  If we get complaints during
beta, we can change count back to int4 and add a "count8" aggregate.
For that matter, users can do it for themselves with a simple CREATE
AGGREGATE command; the int4inc function is still present, so no C hacking
is needed.

Also added max() and min() aggregates for OID that do proper unsigned
comparison, instead of piggybacking on int4 aggregates.

initdb forced.

Peter Eisentraut ee8ed85da3 Make LANCOMPILER clause in CREATE LANGUAGE optional. Allow "identifier" 
syntax for language names (instead of 'string').

createlang now handles the case where a second language uses the same call
handler as an already installed language (e.g., plperl/plperlu).

droplang now handles the reverse case, i.e., dropping a language where
the call handler is still used by another language.  Moreover, droplang
can now be used to drop any user-defined language, not just the supplied
ones.

Tom Lane bf56f0759b Make OIDs optional, per discussions in pghackers. WITH OIDS is still the 
default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them.
Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.

Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.

Bruce Momjian 84d2c518fe I noticed that pltcl didn't have any way to get to SPI_lastoid like plpgsql does.. I started using pltcl a lot because I like to decide when and how my queries get planned.. so I put one together really quick 
Sorry I don't have the original around to make a quick diff, but its a very small change... I think this should be in the next release, there's no reason not to have it.

its a function with no expected arguments, so you can use it like:
spi_exec "INSERT INTO mytable(columns...) VALUES(values..)"
set oid [spi_lastoid]
spi_exec "SELECT mytable_id from mytable WHERE oid=$oid"

It just didn't make sense for me to use plpgsql and pltcl, or just screw
them both and use SPI from C.
