relcache reload works. In the patched code, a relcache entry in process of being rebuilt doesn't get unhooked from the relcache hash table; which means that if a cache flush occurs due to sinval queue overrun while we're rebuilding it, the entry could get blown away by RelationCacheInvalidate, resulting in crash or misbehavior. Fix by ensuring that an entry being rebuilt has positive refcount, so it won't be seen as a target for removal if a cache flush occurs. (This will mean that the entry gets rebuilt twice in such a scenario, but that's okay.) It appears that the problem can only arise within a transaction that has previously reassigned the relfilenode of a pre-existing table, via TRUNCATE or a similar operation. Per bug #5412 from Rusty Conover. Back-patch to 8.2, same as the patch that introduced the problem. I think that the failure can't actually occur in 8.2, since it lacks the rd_newRelfilenodeSubid optimization, but let's make it work like the later branches anyway. Patch by Heikki, slightly editorialized on by me. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more common listed below: C++ - http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/ JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/ PHP - http://www.php.net Python - http://www.initd.org/ Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing parties. PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available, a short, incomplete list is below: PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Java - http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/ PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
