it previously. The patch included is against fairly current sources, but
it may apply cleanly against 7.0.2 as well.

couldn't produce a full patch using cvs diff -c this time since I have
created new files and anonymous cvs usage doesn't allow you to
adds. I'm supplying the modified src/interfaces/jdbc as a tarball at :
http://www.candleweb.no/~gunnar/projects/pgsql/postgres-jdbc-2000-10-05.tgz
The new files that should be added are :
? org/postgresql/PGStatement.java
? org/postgresql/ObjectPool.java
? org/postgresql/ObjectPoolFactory.java
There is now a global static pool of free byte arrays and used byte arrays
connected to a statement object. This is the role of the new PGStatement
class. Access to the global free array is synchronized, while we rely on
the PG_Stream synchronization for the used array.
My measurements show that the perfomance boost on this code is not quite as
big as my last shot, but it is still an improvement. Maybe some of the
difference is due to the new synchronization on the global array. I think I
will look into choosing between on a connection level and global level.
I have also started experimented with improving the performance of the
various conversions. The problem here is ofcourse related handle the
various encodings. One thing I found to speed up ResultSet.getInt() a lot
was to do custom conversion on the byte array into int instead of going
through the getString() to do the conversion. But I'm unsure if this is
portable, can we assume that a digit never can be represented by more than
one byte ? It works fine in my iso-latin-8859-1 environment, but what about
other environments ? Maybe we could provide different ResultSet
implementations depending on the encoding used or delegate some methods of
the result set to an "converter class".
Check the org/postgresql/jdbc2/FastResultSet.java in the tarball above to
see the modified getInt() method.

for the library. not sure if this will cause problems on other
platforms, but if it does it can be easily fixed. Also remove the
references to the GeekGadgets includes as the majority of users don't
have them installed and they foul the build process. We can document
that adding them if you have them installed is a good idea.

The current code uses semaphores, which has the advantage that it works
well even on multi-processor machines, but the disadvantage that it is not
the fastest way possible. Writing a spinlock on Alpha for SMP machines is
very difficult, as you need to deal with memory barriers. A real mess. But
then one of the people at Compaq pointed out to us that there is a
ready-made routine on Alpha. We implemented it with the two patches below.
I ran tests with lots of parallel back-ends and got around a 10% speed
increase. I include the two patches. Perhaps some of the other people
running Tru64 can have a look at these as well.

after that dynamic loading isn't working and shared memory handling is
broken.
Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :
* beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
* beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
* expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
* regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
* dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)
Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.

took some rejiggering of typename and ACL parsing, as well as moving
parse_analyze call out of parser(). Restructure postgres.c processing
so that parse analysis and rewrite are skipped when in abort-transaction
state. Only COMMIT and ABORT statements will be processed beyond the raw
parser() phase. This addresses problem of parser failing with database access
errors while in aborted state (see pghackers discussions around 7/28/00).
Also fix some bugs with COMMIT/ABORT statements appearing in the middle of
a single query input string.
Function, operator, and aggregate arguments/results can now use full
TypeName production, in particular foo[] for array types.
DROP OPERATOR and COMMENT ON OPERATOR were broken for unary operators.
Allow CREATE AGGREGATE to accept unquoted numeric constants for initcond.
SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used
in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.
This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT
where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did
that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like
subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the
datatype conversions can be inserted safely.
INITDB NEEDED!
working on the VERY latest version of BeOS. I'm sure there will be
alot of comments, but then if there weren't I'd be disappointed!
Thanks for your continuing efforts to get this into your tree.
Haven't bothered with the new files as they haven't changed.
BTW Peter, the compiler is "broken" about the bool define and so on.
I'm filing a bug report to try and get it addressed. Hopefully then we
can tidy up the code a bit.
I await the replies with interest :)
David Reid
problems with some bits of it, but when all the patches are in it'll build
and we can fix it from there :) I've got a version that builds and runs and
that is the basis for these patches.
The first file has the new additional files that are required,
template/beos
backend/port/dynloader/beos.c
backend/port/dynloader/beos.h
include/port/beos.h
makefiles/Makefile.beos
The second is a tarball of diffs against a few files. I've added sys/ipc.h
to configure and config.h via configure.in and config.h.in and then started
adding the check as this file isn't needed on BeOS and having loads of
#ifdef BEOS isn't as obvious as #ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H and isn't as
autconf'ish :)
Files touched are
include/c.h
configure.in
include/config.h.in
include/storage/ipc.h
include/utils/int8.h
Let me know how these go. I'll await a response before submitting any more.
Any problems just get in touch.

have already modified "next_insert()" in 7.0-ecpglib. However
in the meaning of speed-up, the patch will be needed.

would close and then re-open rel being truncated. Depending on the
luck of the draw, the re-opened relcache entry might or might not be
at the same physical location as before. Unfortunately, if it wasn't
then heap_truncate would crash and burn, because it still had a pointer
at the old location. Fix is to open and then close rel in
RelationTruncateIndexes, so that rel's refcount never goes to zero
until heap_truncate is done.
