Heikki Linnakangas	19c8dc839b	Unite ReadBufferWithFork, ReadBufferWithStrategy, and ZeroOrReadBuffer ... functions into one ReadBufferExtended function, that takes the strategy and mode as argument. There's three modes, RBM_NORMAL which is the default used by plain ReadBuffer(), RBM_ZERO, which replaces ZeroOrReadBuffer, and a new mode RBM_ZERO_ON_ERROR, which allows callers to read corrupt pages without throwing an error. The FSM needs the new mode to recover from corrupt pages, which could happend if we crash after extending an FSM file, and the new page is "torn". Add fork number to some error messages in bufmgr.c, that still lacked it.	17 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	5f853c6556	Use fork names instead of numbers in the file names for additional ... relation forks. While the file names are not visible to users, for those that do peek into the data directory, it's nice to have more descriptive names. Per Greg Stark's suggestion.	17 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	15c121b3ed	Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, the ... free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM). This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation. Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.	17 years ago
Alvaro Herrera	f8c4d7db60	Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing some ... unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.	18 years ago
Tom Lane	220db7ccd8	Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary C ... strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane	18 years ago

Tom Lane	cc59049daf	Improve handling of prune/no-prune decisions by storing a page's oldest ... unpruned XMAX in its header. At the cost of 4 bytes per page, this keeps us from performing heap_page_prune when there's no chance of pruning anything. Seems to be necessary per Heikki's preliminary performance testing.	19 years ago
