had been taught not to do that ages ago, the SSL code was helpfully bleating
anyway. Resolves some recent reports such as bug #3266; however the
underlying cause of the related bug #2829 is still unclear.
and inet_server_addr() fail if the client connected over a "scoped" IPv6
address. In this case getnameinfo() will return a string ending with
a poorly-standardized "%something" zone specifier, which these functions
try to feed to network_in(), which won't take it. So that we don't lose
functionality altogether, suppress the zone specifier before giving the
string to network_in(). Per report from Brian Hirt.
TODO: probably someday the inet type should support scoped IPv6 addresses,
and then this patch should be reverted.
Backpatch to 8.2 ... is it worth going further?
recompute the limit/offset immediately, so that the updated values are
available when the child's ReScan function is invoked. Add a regression
test for this, too. Bug is new in HEAD (due to the bounded-sorting patch)
so no need for back-patch.
I did not do anything about merging this signaling with chgParam processing,
but if we were to do that we'd still need to compute the updated values
at this point rather than during the first ProcNode call.
Per observation and test case from Greg Stark, though I didn't use his patch.
to avoid losing useful Xid information in not-so-old tuples. This makes
CLUSTER behave the same as VACUUM as far a tuple-freezing behavior goes
(though CLUSTER does not yet advance the table's relfrozenxid).
While at it, move the actual freezing operation in rewriteheap.c to a more
appropriate place, and document it thoroughly. This part of the patch from
Tom Lane.
avoid a later needless VACUUM for Xid-wraparound purposes. We can do this
since the table is known to be left empty, so no Xid remains on it.
Per discussion.
applied to live tuples older than a recent Xmin, not to tuples that may be part
of an update chain. Those still keep their original markings.
This patch makes it possible for CLUSTER to advance relfrozenxid, thus avoiding
the need of vacuuming the table for Xid wraparound purposes. That will be
patched separately.
Patch from Heikki Linnakangas.
there's an indirect dependency on the owner via the parent table. We were
already handling indexes that way, but not toast tables for some reason.
Saves a little catalog space and cuts down the verbosity of checkSharedDependencies
reports.
ActiveSnapshot. Having it affect ActiveSnapshot only in the unusual
case of needing to replan seems a bad idea, and there's also the problem
that the created snap might be in a relatively short-lived context, as
noted by Jan Wieck. Also, there's no need to force a new snap at all
unless we are called with no snap currently set, which is an unusual
case in itself.
and only a truncated log of the objects in the current database to the client.
Also, instead of reporting object counts for all databases on which the user
might own objects, report only as many as fit in the predefined line count.
This is to avoid flooding the client when the user owns too many objects,
which could cause problems.
Per report from Ed L. on April 4th and subsequent discussion.
more completely. The motivation for having it understand IS NULL at all was
to allow use of "foo IS NULL" as one of the subsets of a partitioning on
"foo", but as reported by Aleksander Kmetec, it wasn't really getting the job
done. Backpatch to 8.2 since this is arguably a performance bug.
named foo, would work but the other ordering would not. If a user-specified
type or table name collides with an existing auto-generated array name, just
rename the array type out of the way by prepending more underscores. This
should not create any backward-compatibility issues, since the cases in which
this will happen would have failed outright in prior releases.
Also fix an oversight in the arrays-of-composites patch: ALTER TABLE RENAME
renamed the table's rowtype but not its array type.
needs to check the new constraint against columns of derived domains too.
Also, make it error out if the domain to be modified is used within any
composite-type columns. Eventually we should support that case, but it seems
a bit painful, and not suitable for a back-patch. For the moment just let the
user know we can't do it.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the only released version that allows nested
domains. Possibly the other part should be back-patched further.
and views (but not system catalogs, nor sequences or toast tables). Get rid
of the hardwired convention that a type's array type is named exactly "_type",
instead using a new column pg_type.typarray to provide the linkage. (It still
will be named "_type", though, except in odd corner cases such as
maximum-length type names.)
Along the way, make tracking of owner and schema dependencies for types more
uniform: a type directly created by the user has these dependencies, while a
table rowtype or auto-generated array type does not have them, but depends on
its parent object instead.

numerics as "oprcanhash", and make the corresponding system catalog
updates. As a result, hash indexes, hashed aggregation, and hash
joins can now be used with the numeric type. Bump the catversion.
The only tricky aspect to doing this is writing a correct hash
function: it's possible for two Numerics to be equal according to
their equality operator, but have different in-memory bit patterns.
To cope with this, the hash function doesn't consider the Numeric's
"scale" or "sign", and explictly skips any leading or trailing
zeros in the Numeric's digit buffer (the current implementation
should suppress any such zeros, but it seems unwise to rely upon
this). See discussion on pgsql-patches for more details.
and for other compilers, insert a dummy exit() call so that they understand
PG_RE_THROW() doesn't return. Insert fflush(stderr) in ExceptionalCondition,
per recent buildfarm evidence that that might not happen automatically on some
platforms. And const-ify ExceptionalCondition's declaration while at it.
need be returned. We keep a heap of the current best N tuples and sift-up
new tuples into it as we scan the input. For M input tuples this means
only about M*log(N) comparisons instead of M*log(M), not to mention a lot
less workspace when N is small --- avoiding spill-to-disk for large M
is actually the most attractive thing about it. Patch includes planner
and executor support for invoking this facility in ORDER BY ... LIMIT
queries. Greg Stark, with some editorialization by moi.
pages it intends to zero immediately. Just to show there is some use for that
function besides WAL recovery :-).
Along the way, fold _hash_checkpage and _hash_pageinit calls into _hash_getbuf
and friends, instead of expecting callers to do that separately.
for local symbols, that shouldn't be exported. This patch excludes them,
cutting down about 10,000 exported symbols and decreasing the binary size
by 20%.
ReadOrZeroBuffer to fetch pages from beyond physical EOF. This would
usually work, but would cause problems for md.c if writes occurred
beyond a segment boundary when the previous segment file hadn't been
fully extended.
from the WAL data, don't bother to physically read it; just have bufmgr.c
return a zeroed-out buffer instead. This speeds recovery significantly,
and also avoids unnecessary failures when a page-to-be-overwritten has corrupt
page headers on disk. This replaces a former kluge that accomplished the
latter by pretending zero_damaged_pages was always ON during WAL recovery;
which was OK when the kluge was put in, but is unsafe when restoring a WAL
log that was written with full_page_writes off.

true at the very end of its processing, the update is broadcast via a
shared-cache-inval message for the index; without this, existing backends that
already have relcache entries for the index might never see it become valid.
Also, force a relcache inval on the index's parent table at the same time,
so that any cached plans for that table are re-planned; this ensures that
the newly valid index will be used if appropriate. Aside from making
C.I.C. behave more reasonably, this is necessary infrastructure for some
aspects of the HOT patch. Pavan Deolasee, with a little further stuff from
me.
and TimestampDifference, to make coding clearer. I think this should also fix
the failure to start workers in platforms with low resolution timers, as
reported by Itagaki Takahiro.
isn't any place to throw the error to. If so, we should treat the error
as FATAL, just as we would have if it'd been thrown outside the PG_TRY
block to begin with.
Although this is clearly a *potential* source of bugs, it is not clear
at the moment whether it is an *actual* source of bugs; there may not
presently be any PG_TRY blocks in code that can be reached with no outer
longjmp catcher. So for the moment I'm going to be conservative and not
back-patch this. The change breaks ABI for users of PG_RE_THROW and hence
might create compatibility problems for loadable modules, so we should not
put it into released branches without proof that it's needed.
wrong thing when inlining polymorphic SQL functions, because it was using the
function's declared return type where it should have used the actual result
type of the current call. In 8.1 and 8.2 this causes obvious failures even if
you don't have assertions turned on; in 8.0 and 7.4 it would only be a problem
if the inlined expression were used as an input to a function that did
run-time type determination on its inputs. Add a regression test, since this
is evidently an under-tested area.
from time_t to TimestampTz representation. This provides full gettimeofday()
resolution of the timestamps, which might be useful when attempting to
do point-in-time recovery --- previously it was not possible to specify
the stop point with sub-second resolution. But mostly this is to get
rid of TimestampTz-to-time_t conversion overhead during commit. Per my
proposal of a day or two back.
messages to the stats collector. This avoids the problem that enabling
stats_row_level for autovacuum has a significant overhead for short
read-only transactions, as noted by Arjen van der Meijden. We can avoid
an extra gettimeofday call by piggybacking on the one done for WAL-logging
xact commit or abort (although that doesn't help read-only transactions,
since they don't WAL-log anything).
In my proposal for this, I noted that we could change the WAL log entries
for commit/abort to record full TimestampTz precision, instead of only
time_t as at present. That's not done in this patch, but will be committed
separately.
We can just palloc, instead of using makeNode, when we are going to
overwrite the whole node anyway in the FLATCOPY macro. Also, use
FLATCOPY instead of copyObject for common node types Var and Const.
look through a freelist for a chunk of adequate size. For a long time
now, all elements of a given freelist have been exactly the same
allocated size, so we don't need a loop. Since the loop never iterated
more than once, you'd think this wouldn't matter much, but it makes a
noticeable savings in a simple test --- perhaps because the compiler
isn't optimizing on a mistaken assumption that the loop would repeat.
AllocSetAlloc is called often enough that saving even a couple of
instructions is worthwhile.
