This seems the right thing for most usages, but I notice two places
where it is the wrong thing. One is that the default permissions on
TOAST rels should be no-access, not world-readable; the other is that
PrepareForTupleInvalidation doesn't really need to spend time looking
at tuples of TOAST relations.
int8, int16, int32, int64 and separately uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64
The previous patch grouped:
int8, int16 and int32
uint8, uint16 and uint32
int64 and uint64 <-- this grouping is wrong on AIX 4.3.3 and below
If you prefer to make 4 groups out of this you could apply this patch.

should be accounted for in the PROC_SEM_MAP_ENTRIES() macro. Otherwise
the ports that rely on this macro to size data structures are broken.
Mea culpa.
to the target list in gram.y; it must wait till after expansion of the
target list in analyze.c. Per bug report 4-Nov:
lx=# CREATE TABLE abc (a char, b char, c char);
CREATE
lx=# CREATE TABLE xyz (x, y, z) AS SELECT * FROM abc;
ERROR: CREATE TABLE/AS SELECT has mismatched column count
so that only one signal number is used not three. Flags in shared
memory tell the reason(s) for the current signal. This method is
extensible to handle more signal reasons without chewing up even more
signal numbers, but the immediate reason is to keep pg_pwd reloads
separate from SIGHUP processing in the postmaster.
Also clean up some problems in the postmaster with delayed response to
checkpoint status changes --- basically, it wouldn't schedule a checkpoint
if it wasn't getting connection requests on a regular basis.
postmaster children before client auth step. Postmaster now rereads
pg_pwd on receipt of SIGHUP, the same way that pg_hba.conf is handled.
No cycles need be expended to validate password cache validity during
connection startup.
recreated since the start of our transaction, our first reference to it
errored out because we'd try to reuse our old relcache entry for it.
Do this by accepting SI inval messages just before relcache search in
heap_openr, so that dead relcache entries will be flushed before we
search. Also, break heap_open/openr into two pairs of routines,
relation_open(r) and heap_open(r). The relation_open routines make
no tests on relkind and so can be used to open anything that has a
pg_class entry. The heap_open routines are wrappers that add a relkind
test to preserve their established behavior. Use the relation_open
routines in several places that had various kluge solutions for opening
rels that might be either heap or index rels.
Also, remove the old 'heap stats' code that's been superseded by Jan's
stats collector, and clean up some inconsistencies in error reporting
between the different types of ALTER TABLE.
from Philip Warner. Side effect of change is that GROUP BY expressions
will not be re-evaluated at multiple plan levels anymore, whereas this
sometimes happened with old code.
per suggestion from Peter. Simplify several APIs by transmitting the
original argv location directly from main.c to ps_status.c, instead of
passing it down through several levels of subroutines.
Modified the parser and the SET handlers to use full Node structures
rather than simply a character string argument.
Implement INTERVAL() YEAR TO MONTH (etc) syntax per SQL99.
Does not yet accept the goofy string format that goes along with, but
this should be fairly straight forward to fix now as a bug or later
as a feature.
Implement precision for the INTERVAL() type.
Use the typmod mechanism for both of INTERVAL features.
Fix the INTERVAL syntax in the parser:
opt_interval was in the wrong place.
INTERVAL is now a reserved word, otherwise we get reduce/reduce errors.
Implement an explicit date_part() function for TIMETZ.
Should fix coersion problem with INTERVAL reported by Peter E.
Fix up some error messages for date/time types.
Use all caps for type names within message.
Fix recently introduced side-effect bug disabling 'epoch' as a recognized
field for date_part() etc. Reported by Peter E. (??)
Bump catalog version number.
Rename "microseconds" current transaction time field
from ...Msec to ...Usec. Duh!
date/time regression tests updated for reference platform, but a few
changes will be necessary for others.
clause being added to a particular restriction-clause list is redundant
with those already in the list. This avoids useless work at runtime,
and (perhaps more importantly) keeps the selectivity estimation routines
from generating too-small estimates of numbers of output rows.
Also some minor improvements in OPTIMIZER_DEBUG displays.
Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on
first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused.
But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.
Patch includes changes to documentation.
side encoding name. This is necessary for client API's such as JDBC
to perform correct encoding conversions. See my email "[HACKERS]
pg_client_encoding" 10 Sep 2001.
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now. ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.
rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type
declaration looks like. This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql
will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.
lookup info in the relcache for index access method support functions.
This makes a huge difference for dynamically loaded support functions,
and should save a few cycles even for built-in ones. Also tweak dfmgr.c
so that load_external_function is called only once, not twice, when
doing fmgr_info for a dynamically loaded function. All per performance
gripe from Teodor Sigaev, 5-Oct-01.
readability. Bizarre '(long *) TRUE' return convention is gone,
in favor of just raising an error internally in dynahash.c when
we detect hashtable corruption. HashTableWalk is gone, in favor
of using hash_seq_search directly, since it had no hope of working
with non-LONGALIGNable datatypes. Simplify some other code that was
made undesirably grotty by promixity to HashTableWalk.
type coercion after failing to find an exact match in pg_proc, but before
considering interpretations that involve a function call with one or
more argument type coercions. This avoids surprises wherein what looks
like a type coercion is interpreted as coercing to some third type and
then to the destination type, as in Dave Blasby's bug report of 3-Oct-01.
See subsequent discussion in pghackers.
