dd39dd232f Update PITR wording, per Simon. 2005-04-19 01:39:50 +00:00
Tom Lane
c822fe05ae pg_dumpall should enforce the server version check for itself, rather
than simply passing it down to pg_dump.  Else, version-related failures
in pg_dumpall itself generate unhelpful error messages.

7aa066f11d record_in and record_recv must be careful to return a separately
pfree'able result, since some callers expect to be able to pfree
the result of a pass-by-reference function.  Per report from Chris Trawick.

d8b1bf4791 Create a new 'MultiExecProcNode' call API for plan nodes that don't
return just a single tuple at a time.  Currently the only such node
type is Hash, but I expect we will soon have indexscans that can return
tuple bitmaps.  A side benefit is that EXPLAIN ANALYZE now shows the
correct tuple count for a Hash node.

5f0a974ea9 Reduce PANIC to ERROR in several xlog routines that are used in both
critical and noncritical contexts (an example of noncritical being
post-checkpoint removal of dead xlog segments).  In the critical cases
the CRIT_SECTION mechanism will cause ERROR to be promoted to PANIC
anyway, and in the noncritical cases we shouldn't let an error take
down the entire database.  Arguably there should be *no* explicit
PANIC errors in this module, only more START/END_CRIT_SECTION calls,
but I didn't go that far.  (Yet.)

61b861421b Modify MoveOfflineLogs/InstallXLogFileSegment to avoid O(N^2) behavior
when recycling a large number of xlog segments during checkpoint.
The former behavior searched from the same start point each time,
requiring O(checkpoint_segments^2) stat() calls to relocate all the
segments.  Instead keep track of where we stopped last time through.

348f856dc5 Revert addition of poorly-thought-out DUMP TIMESTAMP archive entry,
which induced bug #1597 in addition to having several other misbehaviors
(like labeling the dump with a completion time having nothing to do with
reality).  Instead just print out the desired strings where RestoreArchive
was already emitting the 'PostgreSQL database dump' and
'PostgreSQL database dump complete' strings.

8e14408028 Make equalTupleDescs() compare attlen/attbyval/attalign rather than
assuming comparison of atttypid is sufficient.  In a dropped column
atttypid will be 0, and we'd better check the physical-storage data
to make sure the tupdescs are physically compatible.
I do not believe there is a real risk before 8.0, since before that
we only used this routine to compare successive states of the tupdesc
for a particular relation.  But 8.0's typcache.c might be comparing
arbitrary tupdescs so we'd better play it safer.

939712ee73 Don't try to constant-fold functions returning RECORD, since the optimizer
isn't presently set up to pass them an expected tuple descriptor.  Bug has
been there since 7.3 but was just recently reported by Thomas Hallgren.

055467d504 Marginal hack to use a specialized hash function for dynahash hashtables
whose keys are OIDs.  The only one that looks particularly performance
critical is the relcache hashtable, but as long as we've got the function
we may as well use it wherever it's applicable.

162bd08b3f Completion of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs and
indexes.  Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open
and index_open.  Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in
various places.  Remove relcache's support for looking up system
catalogs by name.  Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...

9dc2e6deaf Added patch by Philip Yarra <philip.yarra@internode.on.net> for a bug in thread support. 2005-04-14 10:08:57 +00:00
Tom Lane
7c13781ee7 First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs and
indexes.  Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info
about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap
code to make the relations actually get those OIDs.  Remove the small
number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete
set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros.  Next phase will
get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes;
but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a
good place to commit.
Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be
'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired
entries and simplify changing those relations in future.  I'm not
sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap
relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.

2193a856a2 Simplify initdb-time assignment of OIDs as I proposed yesterday, and
avoid encroaching on the 'user' range of OIDs by allowing automatic
OID assignment to use values below 16k until we reach normal operation.

initdb not forced since this doesn't make any incompatible change;
however a lot of stuff will have different OIDs after your next initdb.

2fdf9e0be6 Change addRangeTableEntryForRelation() to take a Relation pointer instead
of just a relation OID, thereby not having to open the relation for itself.
This actually saves code rather than adding it for most of the existing
callers, which had the rel open already.  The main point though is to be
able to use this rather than plain addRangeTableEntry in setTargetTable,
thus saving one relation_openrv/relation_close cycle for every INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE.  Seems to provide a several percent win on simple
INSERTs.

45c79a3094 Revert yesterday's change to make pg_cast.h say 'OID = 0' in DATA entries.
On reflection, we ought to get rid of that mechanism entirely.

6853a37a83 Minor consistency improvement to the documentation on array functions. 2005-04-13 00:20:10 +00:00
Tom Lane
2662d0fb62 Adjust pg_cast.h so that the OIDs assigned to built-in casts come from
genbki.sh's pool (10000-16383) instead of being run-time assigned by
heap_insert.  Might as well use the pool as long as it's there ...
I was a bit bemused to realize that it hadn't been in use at all since 7.2.

initdb not forced since this doesn't really affect anything.  The OIDs
of casts and system indexes will change next time you do one, though.

dffab0c88d Remove unnecessary UPDATE commands to assign explicit ACLs to functions
and PL languages during initdb.  The default permissions for these objects
are the same as what we were assigning anyway, so there is no need to
expend space in the catalogs on them.  The space cost is particularly
significant in pg_proc's indexes, which are bloated by about a factor of 2
by the full-table update, and can never really recover the space.
initdb not forced, since the change has no actual impact on behavior.

2e7a68896b Add aggsortop column to pg_aggregate, so that MIN/MAX optimization can
be supported for all datatypes.  Add CREATE AGGREGATE and pg_dump support
too.  Add specialized min/max aggregates for bpchar, instead of depending
on text's min/max, because otherwise the possible use of bpchar indexes
cannot be recognized.
initdb forced because of catalog changes.

addc42c339 Create the planner mechanism for optimizing simple MIN and MAX queries
into indexscans on matching indexes.  For the moment, it only handles
int4 and text datatypes; next step is to add a column to pg_aggregate
so that all MIN/MAX aggregates can be handled.  Per my recent proposal.
