is in progress on the same hashtable. This seems the least invasive way to fix the recently-recognized problem that a split could cause the scan to visit entries twice or (with much lower probability) miss them entirely. The only field-reported problem caused by this is the "failed to re-find shared lock object" PANIC in COMMIT PREPARED reported by Michel Dorochevsky, which was caused by multiply visited entries. However, it seems certain that mdsync() is vulnerable to missing required fsync's due to missed entries, and I am fearful that RelationCacheInitializePhase2() might be at risk as well. Because of that and the generalized hazard presented by this bug, back-patch all the supported branches. Along the way, fix pg_prepared_statement() and pg_cursor() to not assume that the hashtables they are examining will stay static between calls. This is risky regardless of the newly noted dynahash problem, because hash_seq_search() has never promised to cope with deletion of table entries other than the just-returned one. There may be no bug here because the only supported way to call these functions is via ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() which will cycle them to completion before doing anything very interesting, but it seems best to get rid of the assumption. This affects 8.2 and HEAD only, since those functions weren't there earlier. |

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://thaiopensource.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 but not complete 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://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php 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/.
