410b1dfb88 Update the in-code documentation about the transaction system. Move it
into a README file instead of being in xact.c's header comment.

d6f8a76cf2 Cause ALTER OWNER commands to update the object's ACL, replacing references
to the old owner with the new owner.  This is not necessarily right, but
it's sure a lot more likely to be what the user wants than doing nothing.
Christopher Kings-Lynne, some rework by Tom Lane.

efcaf1e868 Some mop-up work for savepoints (nested transactions). Store a small
number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry,
and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during
TransactionIdIsInProgress.  Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on
modules to get control at subxact start/end.  (This is deliberately
not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably
need manual review anyway.)  Add basic reference documentation for
SAVEPOINT and related commands.  Minor other cleanups to check off some
of the open issues for subtransactions.
Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.

9c8d0850c3 Support "OR condition ..." in plpgsql EXCEPTION clauses to make the syntax
more nearly Oracle-equivalent.  Allow matching by category as well as
specific error code.  Document the set of available condition names
(or more accurately, synchronize it with the existing documentation).  In
passing, update errcodes.sgml to include codes added during 7.5 development.

ad4d2e9711 Be more consistent about reporting SPI errors in the various PLs.
Create a shared function to convert a SPI error code into a string
(replacing near-duplicate code in several PLs), and use it anywhere
that a SPI function call error is reported.

da4a0dab59 Escape backslashes from translation message rather than removing them. 2004-07-31 20:00:26 +00:00

2def4552ed Still another try at matching system timezone nicely. On non-Windows
machines, break tie scores by preferring shorter zone names over longer;
for names of equal length, prefer the alphabetically first name.  This
yields for example 'EST5EDT' not 'America/New_York' for US eastern time.
On Windows, abandon the whole concept of inspecting the detailed behavior
of the system TZ library, because it doesn't bear inspection :-(.  Instead
use a hardwired mapping table to select our zone name based on the
result of strftime %Z output.  Windows code from Magnus Hagander.

beda4814c1 plpgsql does exceptions.
There are still some things that need refinement; in particular I fear
that the recognized set of error condition names probably has little in
common with what Oracle recognizes.  But it's a start.

a393fbf937 Restructure error handling as recently discussed. It is now really
possible to trap an error inside a function rather than letting it
propagate out to PostgresMain.  You still have to use AbortCurrentTransaction
to clean up, but at least the error handling itself will cooperate.

98c120a203 Revert ill-conceived patch that made elog(FATAL) the same as elog(ERROR)
followed by seeing EOF from client.  If we want a safe session-kill
capability we will need to write one, not break our error handling
mechanism.

1bf3d61504 Fix subtransaction behavior for large objects, temp namespace, files,
password/group files.  Also allow read-only subtransactions of a read-write
parent, but not vice versa.  These are the reasonably noncontroversial
parts of Alvaro's recent mop-up patch, plus further work on large objects
to minimize use of the TopTransactionResourceOwner.

0177f43070 Fix oversight: in case where SIGTERM is received while there are
live backends, the archiver and stats processes never got sent a
kill signal.  They'd eventually exit on their own, but not for awhile,
which is a bit annoying when you are trying to replace the executable
file on a platform that doesn't allow removal of busy executables.
Also, tweak main loop logic so that we will perform the background
tasks after select() returns EINTR.
