Joe Conway	ea0aa9698c	Improve dblink error message when remote does not provide it ... When dblink or postgres_fdw detects an error on the remote side of the connection, it will try to construct a local error message as best it can using libpq's PQresultErrorField(). When no primary message is available, it was bailing out with an unhelpful "unknown error". Make that message better and more style guide compliant. Per discussion on hackers. Backpatch to 9.2 except postgres_fdw which didn't exist before 9.3. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/19872.1482338965%40sss.pgh.pa.us	9 years ago
Robert Haas	d2ce38e204	Rename WAIT_* constants to PG_WAIT_*. ... Windows apparently has a constant named WAIT_TIMEOUT, and some of these other names are pretty generic, too. Insert "PG_" at the front of each name in order to disambiguate. Michael Paquier	9 years ago
Robert Haas	6f3bd98ebf	Extend framework from commit 53be0b1ad to report latch waits. ... WaitLatch, WaitLatchOrSocket, and WaitEventSetWait now taken an additional wait_event_info parameter; legal values are defined in pgstat.h. This makes it possible to uniquely identify every point in the core code where we are waiting for a latch; extensions can pass WAIT_EXTENSION. Because latches were the major wait primitive not previously covered by this patch, it is now possible to see information in pg_stat_activity on a large number of important wait events not previously addressed, such as ClientRead, ClientWrite, and SyncRep. Unfortunately, many of the wait events added by this patch will fail to appear in pg_stat_activity because they're only used in background processes which don't currently appear in pg_stat_activity. We should fix this either by creating a separate view for such information, or else by deciding to include them in pg_stat_activity after all.

Robert Haas	1b812afb0e	Fix multiple problems in postgres_fdw query cancellation logic. ... First, even if we cancel a query, we still have to roll back the containing transaction; otherwise, the session will be left in a failed transaction state. Second, we need to support canceling queries whe aborting a subtransaction as well as when aborting a toplevel transaction. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Michael Paquier	9 years ago
Robert Haas	f039eaac71	Allow queries submitted by postgres_fdw to be canceled. ... This fixes a problem which is not new, but with the advent of direct foreign table modification in 0bf3ae88af, it's somewhat more likely to be annoying than previously. So, arrange for a local query cancelation to propagate to the remote side. Michael Paquier, reviewed by Etsuro Fujita. Original report by Thom Brown.	9 years ago

Robert Haas	96198d94cb	Avoid multiple foreign server connections when all use same user mapping. ... Previously, postgres_fdw's connection cache was keyed by user OID and server OID, but this can lead to multiple connections when it's not really necessary. In particular, if all relevant users are mapped to the public user mapping, then their connection options are certainly the same, so one connection can be used for all of them. While we're cleaning things up here, drop the "server" argument to GetConnection(), which isn't really needed. This saves a few cycles because callers no longer have to look this up; the function itself does, but only when establishing a new connection, not when reusing an existing one. Ashutosh Bapat, with a few small changes by me.	10 years ago

Robert Haas	924bcf4f16	Create an infrastructure for parallel computation in PostgreSQL. ... This does four basic things. First, it provides convenience routines to coordinate the startup and shutdown of parallel workers. Second, it synchronizes various pieces of state (e.g. GUCs, combo CID mappings, transaction snapshot) from the parallel group leader to the worker processes. Third, it prohibits various operations that would result in unsafe changes to that state while parallelism is active. Finally, it propagates events that would result in an ErrorResponse, NoticeResponse, or NotifyResponse message being sent to the client from the parallel workers back to the master, from which they can then be sent on to the client.

Tom Lane	4a14f13a0a	Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions. ... Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes. This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys). There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely. In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before. For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

Bruce Momjian	0a78320057	pgindent run for 9.4 ... This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.	11 years ago
Tom Lane	00d4f2af8b	Improve connection-failure error handling in contrib/postgres_fdw. ... postgres_fdw tended to say "unknown error" if it tried to execute a command on an already-dead connection, because some paths in libpq just return a null PGresult for such cases. Out-of-memory might result in that, too. To fix, pass the PGconn to pgfdw_report_error, and look at its PQerrorMessage() string if we can't get anything out of the PGresult. Also, fix the transaction-exit logic to reliably drop a dead connection. It was attempting to do that already, but it assumed that only connection cache entries with xact_depth > 0 needed to be examined. The folly in that is that if we fail while issuing START TRANSACTION, we'll not have bumped xact_depth. (At least for the case I was testing, this fix masks the other problem; but it still seems like a good idea to have the PGconn fallback logic.) Per investigation of bug #9087 from Craig Lucas. Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was introduced.	12 years ago

Tom Lane	5b86fedfb5	Document cross-version compatibility issues for contrib/postgres_fdw. ... One of the use-cases for postgres_fdw is extracting data from older PG servers, so cross-version compatibility is important. Document what we can do here, and further annotate some of the coding choices that create compatibility constraints. In passing, remove one unnecessary incompatibility with old servers, namely assuming that we didn't need to quote the timezone name 'UTC'.	12 years ago
Tom Lane	cc3f281ffb	Fix postgres_fdw's issues with inconsistent interpretation of data values. ... For datatypes whose output formatting depends on one or more GUC settings, we have to worry about whether the other server will interpret the value the same way it was meant. pg_dump has been aware of this hazard for a long time, but postgres_fdw needs to deal with it too. To fix data retrieval from the remote server, set the necessary remote GUC settings at connection startup. (We were already assuming that settings made then would persist throughout the remote session.) To fix data transmission to the remote server, temporarily force the relevant GUCs to the right values when we're about to convert any data values to text for transmission. This is all pretty grotty, and not very cheap either. It's tempting to think of defining one uber-GUC that would override any settings that might render printed data values unportable. But of course, older remote servers wouldn't know any such thing and would still need this logic. While at it, revert commit f7951eef89, since this provides a real fix. (The timestamptz given in the error message returned from the "remote" server will now reliably be shown in UTC.)	12 years ago
Tom Lane	21734d2fb8	Support writable foreign tables. ... This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic functionality there now. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov and Laurenz Albe, and rather heavily revised by Tom Lane.	12 years ago
Tom Lane	6d06049493	Adjust postgres_fdw's search path handling. ... Set the remote session's search path to exactly "pg_catalog" at session start, then schema-qualify only names that aren't in that schema. This greatly reduces clutter in the generated SQL commands, as seen in the regression test changes. Per discussion. Also, rethink use of FirstNormalObjectId as the "built-in object" cutoff --- FirstBootstrapObjectId is safer, since the former will accept objects in information_schema for instance.	13 years ago
Tom Lane	54a2786835	Need to decorate XactIsoLevel as PGDLLIMPORT for postgres_fdw. ... Per buildfarm.	13 years ago
Tom Lane	d0d75c4022	Add postgres_fdw contrib module. ... There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works, and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the writable-foreign-tables patch. So let's commit it and get on with testing. Shigeru Hanada, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei and Tom Lane	13 years ago
