implementation uses an in-memory hash table, so it will poop out for very
large recursive results ... but the performance characteristics of a
sort-based implementation would be pretty unpleasant too.
use the old relfilenode in the new tablespace. There might be another relation
in the new tablespace with the same relfilenode, so we must generate a fresh
relfilenode in the new tablespace.
The 8.3 patch to let deleted relation files linger as zero-length files until
the next checkpoint made this more obvious: moving a relation from one table
space another, and then back again, caused a collision with the lingering
file.
Back-patch to 8.1. The issue is present in 8.0 as well, but it doesn't seem
worth fixing there, because we didn't have protection from OID collisions
after OID wraparound before 8.1.

supplies an expression that can't be coerced to the target column type.
The code previously attempted to point at the target column name, which
doesn't work at all in an INSERT with omitted column name list, and is
also not remarkably helpful when the problem is buried somewhere in a
long INSERT-multi-VALUES command. Make it point at the failed expression
instead.
get_name_for_var_field didn't have enough context to interpret a reference to
a CTE query's output. Fixing this requires separate hacks for the regular
deparse case (pg_get_ruledef) and for the EXPLAIN case, since the available
context information is quite different. It's pretty nearly parallel to the
existing code for SUBQUERY RTEs, though. Also, add code to make sure we
qualify a relation name that matches a CTE name; else the CTE will mistakenly
capture the reference when reloading the rule.
In passing, fix a pre-existing problem with get_name_for_var_field not working
on variables in targetlists of SubqueryScan plan nodes. Although latent all
along, this wasn't a problem until we made EXPLAIN VERBOSE try to print
targetlists. To do this, refactor the deparse_context_for_plan API so that
the special case for SubqueryScan is all on ruleutils.c's side.
the column alias names of the RTE referenced by the Var to the RowExpr.
This is needed to allow ruleutils.c to correctly deparse FieldSelect nodes
referencing such a construct. Per my recent bug report.
Adding a field to RowExpr forces initdb (because of stored rules changes)
so this solution is not back-patchable; which is unfortunate because 8.2
and 8.3 have this issue. But it only affects EXPLAIN for some pretty odd
corner cases, so we can probably live without a solution for the back
branches.
relation forks. While the file names are not visible to users, for those
that do peek into the data directory, it's nice to have more descriptive
names. Per Greg Stark's suggestion.
well as regular tables. Per discussion, this seems necessary to meet the
principle of least astonishment.
In passing, simplify the error messages in warnAutoRange(). Now that we
have parser error position info for these errors, it doesn't seem very
useful to word the error message differently depending on whether we are
inside a sub-select or not.
machine produces zero (rather than the more usual minimum-possible-integer)
for the only possible overflow case. This has been seen to occur for at least
some word widths on some hardware, and it's cheap enough to check for
everywhere. Per Peter's analysis of buildfarm reports.
This could be back-patched, but in the absence of any gripes from the field
I doubt it's worth the trouble.
recursive CTE that we're still in progress of analyzing. Add a similar guard
to the similar code in expandRecordVariable(), and tweak regression tests to
cover this case. Per report from Dickson S. Guedes.
There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL
(should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses.
These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a
pretty useful feature.
There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles,
which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land
the patch now so we can get on with other development.
Yoshiyuki Asaba, with lots of help from Tatsuo Ishii and Tom Lane
name of a fork ('main' or 'fsm', at the moment) to pg_relation_size() to
get the size of a specific fork. Defaults to 'main', if none given.
While we're at it, modify pg_relation_size to take a regclass as argument,
instead of separate variants taking oid and name. This change is
transparent to typical use where the table name is passed as a string
literal, like pg_relation_size('table'), but will break queries like
pg_relation_size(namecol), where namecol is of type name. text-type input
still works, and using a non-schema-qualified table name is not very
reliable anyway, so this is unlikely to break anyone's queries in practice.
large enough for block numbers higher than 2^31. The old pre-FSM-rewrite
pg_freespacemap implementation got this right. While we're at it, remove
some unnecessary #includes.
This facility replaces the former mark/restore support but is otherwise
upward-compatible with previous uses. It's expected to be needed for
single evaluation of CTEs and also for window functions, so I'm committing
it separately instead of waiting for either one of those patches to be
finished. Per discussion with Greg Stark and Hitoshi Harada.
Note: I removed nodeFunctionscan's mark/restore support, instead of bothering
to update it for this change, because it was dead code anyway.
free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).
This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.
Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.
