postgresql/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-7.1beta5-to-7.1beta6

2001-03-16 16:29  scrappy

	* configure, configure.in: 
	upgrade version to beta6

2001-03-16 12:42  tgl

	* contrib/pgcrypto/README.pgcrypto: Documentation update from Marko
	Kreen.

2001-03-16 08:05  meskes

	* src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/variable.c: Fixed bug in handling of
	pointers to structs.

2001-03-16 08:03  inoue

	* src/interfaces/odbc/: multibyte.c, multibyte.h: Oops I forgot to
	add new files for multibyte support.  Sorry Eiji.

2001-03-16 00:44  tgl

	* doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml, doc/src/sgml/wal.sgml,
	src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c, src/backend/utils/misc/guc.c,
	src/backend/utils/misc/postgresql.conf.sample,
	src/include/access/xlog.h: Support syncing WAL log to disk using
	either fsync(), fdatasync(), O_SYNC, or O_DSYNC (as available on a
	given platform).  Add GUC parameter to control sync method.  Also,
	add defense to XLogWrite to prevent it from going nuts if passed a
	target write position that's past the end of the buffers so far
	filled by XLogInsert.

2001-03-16 00:08  tgl

	* contrib/pg_resetxlog/pg_resetxlog.c: Resetting the XLOG can't
	include rewinding it to logical position zero, because we need page
	LSNs stored in the main database to be less than the current XLOG
	position.  Hence, generate the new XLOG segment at last old segment
	number plus one.

2001-03-15 20:17  inoue

	* src/interfaces/odbc/: connection.c, convert.c, dlg_specific.c,
	parse.c, psqlodbc.h, psqlodbc.rc, win32.mak: Add multibyte support.
	   Provide an extenisible scheme of encoding conversion.   As the
	first step, SJIS and BIG5 are supported.	 From now on
	multibyte people would be happy to use	    this psqlodbc driver.
	
	Eiji Tokuya e-tokuya@mail.sankyo-unyu.co.jp

2001-03-15 15:01  tgl

	* doc/src/sgml/client-auth.sgml: Update sample error messages to
	agree with current code.

2001-03-15 06:56  darcy

	* src/interfaces/python/pgdb.py: Fix parameter handling.
	
	Fix a bug where cs.execute('select %d + %d', (1, 2)) would get
	interpreted as cs.executemany('select %d + %d', (1, 2))

2001-03-15 06:26  darcy

	* src/interfaces/python/: pgmodule.c, setup.py: Add WIN32 support.

2001-03-14 20:07  tgl

2001-03-14 18:55  tgl

	* src/backend/parser/parse_func.c: Give a more reasonable error
	message for a bad attribute name applied to a join or subselect
	alias ... cf. Oliver Elphick's complaint 13-Mar.

2001-03-14 17:20  petere

	* doc/src/sgml/backup.sgml: Fix markup.

2001-03-14 16:50  tgl

	* src/: backend/commands/trigger.c, include/commands/trigger.h:
	Reduce amount of memory used per tuple for after-event triggers. 
	This is still a memory leak, but a little less bad than it was.

2001-03-14 16:47  tgl

	* src/backend/commands/copy.c: COPY should handle after-insert
	triggers the same as execMain.c does.  I'm not sure that it's
	really necessary to save insert events when there are only after
	update or delete triggers, but certainly it's wrong for COPY to
	behave differently from an INSERT query.

2001-03-14 16:11  petere

	* src/tools/release_prep: It's "gmake dist" now.

2001-03-14 16:07  petere

	* src/tools/make_etags: For some ungodly reason my etags doesn't
	have an --output option, but it does have -o.

2001-03-14 16:03  petere

	* src/bin/pgtclsh/README: We're past Postgres95 now, and I'm sure
	Jolly doesn't want to receive any bug reports.	;-)

2001-03-14 15:53  petere

	* src/interfaces/libpq++/dependencies: We got automatic
	dependencies now.

2001-03-14 15:47  petere

	* src/interfaces/jdbc/README_6.3: We're way past 6.3 ...

2001-03-14 15:44  petere

	* src/interfaces/jdbc/README: Update.  Things are now build through
	'make'.

2001-03-14 15:23  tgl

	* src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c: Use SEP_CHAR consistently in
	forming XLOG pathnames.

2001-03-14 15:12  tgl

	* src/: backend/utils/adt/datetime.c, include/utils/timestamp.h:
	Remove obsolete PowerPC-specific hack for comparisons to DBL_MIN
	(per recent discussion with Tatsuo).  Hopefully the compilers with
	that old bug are all long gone.

2001-03-14 14:35  tgl

	* src/: Makefile.shlib, makefiles/Makefile.hpux: Move -Bsymbolic
	for HPUX to Makefile.hpux, per Peter E's recommendation.

2001-03-14 13:24  momjian

	* src/backend/: storage/lmgr/lock.c, tcop/postgres.c: 'waiting'
	status display had extra space, removed.  Change the administrator
	to 'an' administrator.

2001-03-14 13:00  petere

	* configure, configure.in: Try to run empty test program before
	running any real AC_TRY_RUN's, to prevent disguised failures.

2001-03-14 12:58  tgl

	* src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c: Don't go belly-up if fork()
	fails for a routine checkpoint subprocess.  Just try again later.

2001-03-14 11:50  tgl

	* src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c: Fix numeric modulo operator for
	case of fractional right argument.

2001-03-14 10:14  momjian

	* src/backend/tcop/postgres.c: New shutdown wording:
	
		This connection has been terminated by the administrator

2001-03-14 04:10  inoue

	* src/interfaces/odbc/: environ.c, socket.c: Fix some memory leaks.

2001-03-14 03:40  inoue

	* src/backend/commands/vacuum.c: ifdef out reindex stuff in VACUUM
	for safety.

2001-03-13 19:57  tgl

	* contrib/: Makefile, README, pg_resetxlog/Makefile,
	pg_resetxlog/README.pg_resetxlog, pg_resetxlog/pg_resetxlog.c:
	First cut at XLOG file reset utility.  Could do with more testing,
	but it works in the simple cases.

2001-03-13 16:37  petere

	* src/bin/initdb/initdb.sh: Provide more useful error message if
	'postgres -V' failed.  Advertise pg_ctl '-l' option.

2001-03-13 15:52  petere

	* doc/FAQ_SCO: update

2001-03-13 15:42  petere

	* doc/FAQ_Solaris: update

2001-03-13 15:32  tgl

	* src/: backend/access/transam/xlog.c, include/access/xlog.h:
	Change xlog page-header format to include StartUpID.  Use the SUI
	to detect case that next page in log came from an older run than
	the prior page.  This avoids the necessity to re-zero the log after
	recovery from a crash, which is good because we need not risk
	destroying valuable log information.  This forces another initdb
	since yesterday :-(.  Need to get that log reset utility done...

2001-03-13 14:28  petere

	* contrib/Makefile: 'test -e' isn't portable.  Use 'test -f'.

2001-03-13 09:41  momjian

	* doc/: FAQ, src/FAQ/FAQ.html: Update FAQ.

2001-03-13 09:08  pjw

	* doc/src/sgml/backup.sgml: Document changed features of pg_dump,
	including: - Large Object dumps - Compressed custom format -
	Requirement to use template0 when creating DB

2001-03-13 08:18  pjw

	* src/bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c: - Use subselect  when
	enabling triggers, - Use exact table names when enabling/disabling
	triggers

2001-03-13 04:03  inoue

	* src/interfaces/odbc/psqlodbc.reg: The attached file contains the
	registry settings required to install the ODBC driver on Windows
	9X/ME/NT/2K when using the later versions of the driver that don't
	have the Installshield installation:
	
	1) Install psqlodbc.dll in to C:\Windows\System or
	C:\Winnt\System32 2) Add the registry settings in the attached file
	using regedit.
	
	A useful addition to src/interfaces/odbc perhaps?
	
	Regards, Dave.

2001-03-12 20:17  tgl

	* contrib/pg_controldata/: Makefile, README.pg_controldata,
	pg_controldata.c: Update for new pg_control format.

2001-03-12 20:17  tgl

	* doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml, doc/src/sgml/wal.sgml,
	doc/src/sgml/ref/checkpoint.sgml,
	src/backend/access/transam/transam.c,
	src/backend/access/transam/varsup.c,
	src/backend/access/transam/xact.c,

	src/include/access/xlogutils.h, src/include/catalog/pg_control.h,
	src/include/storage/ipc.h, src/include/tcop/tcopprot.h,
	src/include/utils/pg_crc.h: XLOG (and related) changes:
	
	* Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control.
	   On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer
	one    is unreadable.  Also, a physical copy of the newest
	checkpoint record    is kept in pg_control for possible use in
	disaster recovery (ie,	  complete loss of pg_xlog).  Also add a
	version number for pg_control	 itself.  Remove archdir from
	pg_control; it ought to be a GUC    parameter, not a special case
	(not that it's implemented yet anyway).
	
	* Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been
	entered   in the WAL log since the last one.  This is not so much
	to avoid I/O   as to make it actually useful to keep track of the
	last two   checkpoints.  If the things are right next to each other
	then there's   not a lot of redundancy gained...
	
	* Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs
	  on alternate bytes.  Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard.
	
	* Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ =
	32k.
	
	* Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation.  (This is
	of   dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.)
	
	* Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG
	file   wraparound at the 4 gig mark.
	
	* Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move
	file   format declarations out to include files where planned
	contrib   utilities can get at them.
	
	* Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments
	or   every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first.  It
	is also   possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the
	postmaster   (undocumented feature...)
	
	* Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key
	and ID	 in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to
	ensure that no	 processes are still connected to old shmem block
	(if it still exists).
	
	* Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for
	emergency   stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities. 
	Clean up signal   handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities
	launched by postmaster	 will react to signals better.
	
	* Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as
	added	insurance against running it in parallel with live
	postmaster.

2001-03-12 18:02  tgl

	* src/backend/commands/trigger.c: Avoid O(N^2) behavior in
	deferredTriggerAddEvent() for large numbers of tuples
	inserted/deleted/updated in a single transaction.  On my machine,
	this reduced the time to delete 80000 tuples in a
	foreign-key-referencing table from ~15min to ~8sec.

2001-03-11 06:24  petere

	* configure, configure.in, config/java.m4: Throw error if Ant is
	not found and Java is requested.  Remove redundant AC_SUBST that
	messed up the diversions and thus the configure output.

2001-03-11 06:06  petere

	* build.xml, contrib/retep/build.xml, doc/src/sgml/jdbc.sgml,
	src/interfaces/jdbc/Makefile, src/interfaces/jdbc/build.xml,
	src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/Driver.java.in: Add uninstall
	target to Java build.  Respect default port setting in JDBC driver.
	 Pick up version number from Makefile.global.  Change installation
	directory to share/java/.  Document.

2001-03-10 18:15  tgl

	* src/Makefile.shlib: Turns out the HPUX linker likes -Bsymbolic
	too.  Without this, ODBC driver does not work because its internal
	cross-references get bound to similarly named functions in unixODBC
	shared library.

2001-03-10 18:12  tgl

	* src/interfaces/odbc/environ.c: Provide a hack to let
	initialization happen on platforms for which psqlodbc.c's
	constructor-making techniques do not work.

2001-03-10 17:30  tgl

	* src/interfaces/odbc/gpps.c: Do not accept values from sections
	following the specified section.

2001-03-10 16:16  tgl

2001-03-10 11:05  petere

	when creating text files (INSTALL) with a few lines of DSSSL.

2001-03-10 05:38  petere

	* configure, configure.in, src/Makefile.global.in,
	src/makefiles/Makefile.hpux: Use install-sh unconditionally.

2001-03-09 23:21  tgl

	* src/backend/utils/error/elog.c: FATAL errors should cause exit
	with nonzero status if we are not running under the postmaster ---
	specifically, if we are a standalone backend running under the
	initdb script, this is critical!

2001-03-09 22:34  inoue

	* src/interfaces/odbc/: convert.c, info.c, qresult.c, results.c,
	statement.c: 1)Allow the access to indexes with up to 16 keys. 
	2)Fix some memory leaks.  3)Change some bogus error messages.

2001-03-09 17:10  tgl

	* src/include/catalog/pg_shadow.h: Don't choke on superuser names
	containing random punctuation.

2001-03-09 16:50  petere

	* src/interfaces/Makefile: Recursive distclean shouldn't depend on
	recursive clean.  Subdirectories handle this.

2001-03-09 14:09  petere

	* doc/src/sgml/plsql.sgml: Integrate "Porting from Oracle PL/SQL"
	HOWTO from Roberto Mello.

2001-03-09 01:36  inoue

	* src/backend/tcop/postgres.c: hold interupts during
	LockWaitCancel().

2001-03-07 20:49  tgl

	* src/backend/optimizer/util/clauses.c: A subplan invoked within an
	aggregate function's argument should be allowed to receive
	ungrouped variables of the current query level.  Curious that no
	one reported this bug before...

2001-03-07 19:24  tgl

	* src/backend/utils/mb/: mbutils.c, wchar.c: Modify wchar
	conversion routines to not fetch the next byte past the end of a
	counted input string.  Marinos Yannikos' recent crash report turns
	out to be due to applying pg_ascii2wchar_with_len to a TEXT object
	that is smack up against the end of memory.  This is the second
	just-barely- reproducible bug report I have seen that traces to
	some bit of code fetching one more byte than it is allowed to. 
	Let's be more careful out there, boys and girls.  While at it, I
	changed the code to not risk a similar crash when there is a
	truncated multibyte character at the end of an input string.  The
	output in this case might not be the most reasonable output
	possible; if anyone wants to improve it further, step right up...

2001-03-07 16:20  tgl

	* src/backend/: access/gist/gist.c, access/hash/hashinsert.c,
	access/hash/hashovfl.c, access/hash/hashpage.c,
	access/rtree/rtree.c, commands/sequence.c: Repair a number of
	places that didn't bother to check whether PageAddItem succeeds or
	not.  Revise rtree page split algorithm to take care about making a
	feasible split --- ie, will the incoming tuple actually fit?
	Failure to make a feasible split, combined with failure to notice
	the failure, account for Jim Stone's recent bug report.  I suspect
	that hash and gist indices may have the same type of bug, but at
	least now we'll get error messages rather than silent failures if
	so.  Also clean up rtree code to use Datum rather than char* where
	appropriate.

	* src/pl/tcl/pltcl.c: > Applied.  Thanks.
	
	One more :)) It's for improper function argumets for

	handy for real life usage of pl/tcl.

	src/Makefile.global.in, src/interfaces/Makefile,
	src/interfaces/jdbc/CHANGELOG, src/interfaces/jdbc/Makefile,
	src/interfaces/jdbc/build.xml, src/interfaces/jdbc/jdbc.jpx: 
	
	Ok, I've split todays commit into three, the first two already done
	had some bits in JDBC & the first set of tools into contrib.
	
	This is the third, and deals with enabling JDBC to be compiled with
	the main source.
	
	What it does is add a new option to configure: --with-java
	
	This option tells configure to look for ant (our build tool of

	Also, when the postgresql install is done, all the .jar files are
	also installed into the ${PGLIB}/java directory (thought best to

	Now I had some conflicts when this applied so could someone please
	double check that everything is ok?

	when user does another FETCH after reaching end of data, or another
	FETCH backwards after reaching start.  This is needed because some
	plan nodes are not very robust about being called again after
	they've already returned NULL; for example, MergeJoin will crash in
	some states but not others.  While the ideal approach would be for
	them all to handle this correctly, it seems foolish to assume that
	no such bugs would creep in again once cleaned up.  Therefore, the
	most robust answer is to prevent the situation from arising at all.

	Tatsuo Ishii <t-ishii@sra.co.jp> To: teo@flex.ro Cc:
	pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org, pgsql-interfaces@postgresql.org Date:
	Sat, 24 Feb 2001 21:41:14 +0900
	
	Hi Teodorescu,
	
	I have made patches which enable pgaccess to input Japanese
	characters in the table editing window. As you might know, to input
	Japanese characters, we first type in "hiragana" then convert it to
	"kanji". To make this proccess transparent to tcl application
	programs, libraries are provided with localized version of Tcl/Tk.
	The patches bind certain keys to initiate a function (kanjiInput)
	that is responsible for the conversion process. If the function is
	not available, those keys will not be binded.
	
	Comments? -- Tatsuo Ishii

	This is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay
	might be profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all.  Note
	that the default COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does
	nothing unless that setting is changed.  Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as
	a system-wide setting.	It's no longer safe to allow that to be set
	per-backend, since we may be relying on some other backend's fsync
	to have synced the WAL log.
