optionally bind. I re-added the "statement:" label so people will
understand why the line is being printed (it is log_*statement
behavior).
Use single quotes for bind values, instead of double quotes, and double
literal single quotes in bind values (and document that). I also made
use of the DETAIL line to have much cleaner output.
cannot assume that there's exactly one Query in the Portal, as we can for
ONE_SELECT mode, because non-SELECT queries might have extra queries added
during rule rewrites. Fix things up so that we'll use ONE_RETURNING mode
when a Portal contains one primary (canSetTag) query and that query has
a RETURNING list. This appears to be a second showstopper reason for running
the Portal to completion before we start to hand anything back --- we want
to be sure that the rule-added queries get run too.
plpgsql support to come later. Along the way, convert execMain's
SELECT INTO support into a DestReceiver, in order to eliminate some ugly
special cases.

The main reason for refactoring was that set_config_option() was too
overloaded function and its behavior did not consistent. Old version of
set_config_function hides some messages. For example if you type:
tcp_port = 5432.1
then old implementation ignore this error without any message to log
file in the signal context (configuration reload). Main problem was that
semantic analysis of postgresql.conf is not perform in the
ProcessConfigFile function, but in the set_config_options *after*
context check. This skipped check for variables with PG_POSTMASTER
context. There was request from Joachim Wieland to add more messages
about ignored changes in the config file as well.

(table or index) before trying to open its relcache entry. This fixes
race conditions in which someone else commits a change to the relation's
catalog entries while we are in process of doing relcache load. Problems
of that ilk have been reported sporadically for years, but it was not
really practical to fix until recently --- for instance, the recent
addition of WAL-log support for in-place updates helped.
Along the way, remove pg_am.amconcurrent: all AMs are now expected to support
concurrent update.
it's handled just about like timezone; in particular, don't try
to read anything during InitializeGUCOptions. Should solve current
startup failure on Windows, and avoid wasted cycles if a nondefault
setting is specified in postgresql.conf too. Possibly we need to
think about a more general solution for handling 'expensive to set'
GUC options.
the float8 versions of the aggregates, which is all that the standard requires.
Sergey's original patch also provided versions using numeric arithmetic,
but given the size and slowness of the code, I doubt we ought to include
those in core.
configuration files that can be altered by a DBA. The australian_timezones
GUC setting disappears, replaced by a timezone_abbreviations setting (set this
to 'Australia' to get the effect of australian_timezones). The list of zone
names defined by default has undergone a bit of cleanup, too. Documentation
still needs some work --- in particular, should we fix Table B-4, or just get
rid of it? Joachim Wieland, with some editorializing by moi.
to the low-order bits of the entry hash value. Also make some incidental
cleanups in the dynahash API, such as not exporting the hash header
structs to the world.
opclass. This is not so much because anyone's likely to create an index
on TID, as that sorting TIDs can be useful. Also added max and min
aggregates while at it, so that one can investigate the clusteredness of
a table with queries like SELECT min(ctid), max(ctid) FROM tab WHERE ...

discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed
opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less
random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c).
Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely
user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity
of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case
with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably
klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last.
Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync
with code.
Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in
catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.
ScalarArrayOpExpr index quals: we were estimating the right total
number of rows returned, but treating the index-access part of the
cost as if a single scan were fetching that many consecutive index
tuples. Actually we should treat it as a multiple indexscan, and
if there are enough of 'em the Mackert-Lohman discount should kick in.
per-tuple space overhead for sorts in memory. I chose to replace the
previous patch that tried to write out the bare minimum amount of data
when sorting on disk; instead, just dump the MinimalTuples as-is. This
wastes 3 to 10 bytes per tuple depending on architecture and null-bitmap
length, but the simplification in the writetup/readtup routines seems
worth it.
tuples with less header overhead than a regular HeapTuple, per my
recent proposal. Teach TupleTableSlot code how to deal with these.
As proof of concept, change tuplestore.c to store MinimalTuples instead
of HeapTuples. Future patches will expand the concept to other places
where it is useful.
palloc() will normally round allocation requests up to the next power of 2,
so make dynahash choose allocation sizes that are as close to a power of 2
as possible.
Back-patch to 8.1 --- the problem exists further back, but a much larger
patch would be needed and it doesn't seem worth taking any risks.
changing semantics too much. statement_timestamp is now set immediately
upon receipt of a client command message, and the various places that used
to do their own gettimeofday() calls to mark command startup are referenced
to that instead. I have also made stats_command_string use that same
value for pg_stat_activity.query_start for both the command itself and
its eventual replacement by <IDLE> or <idle in transaction>. There was
some debate about that, but no argument that seemed convincing enough to
justify an extra gettimeofday() call.
by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time
ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving
lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is
only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need
to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go
away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.

remove the infrastructure needed to enforce the limit, ie, the global
LRU list of cache entries. On small-to-middling databases this wins
because maintaining the LRU list is a waste of time. On large databases
this wins because it's better to keep more cache entries (we assume
such users can afford to use some more per-backend memory than was
contemplated in the Berkeley-era catcache design). This provides a
noticeable improvement in the speed of psql \d on a 10000-table
database, though it doesn't make it instantaneous.
While at it, use per-catcache settings for the number of hash buckets
per catcache, rather than the former one-size-fits-all value. It's a
bit silly to be using the same number of hash buckets for, eg, pg_am
and pg_attribute. The specific values I used might need some tuning,
but they seem to be in the right ballpark based on CATCACHE_STATS
results from the standard regression tests.
and transaction visibility fields of tuples being sorted. These are
always uninteresting in a tuple being sorted (if the fields were actually
selected, they'd have been pulled out into user columns beforehand).
This saves about 24 bytes per row being sorted, which is a useful savings
for any but the widest of sort rows. Per recent discussion.
throw warnings for 100%-SQL-standard constructs, clean up some minor
infelicities, try to un-break ecpg to the best of my ability. (It's not clear
how ecpg is going to find out the setting of standard_conforming_strings,
though.) I think pg_dump still needs work, too.
it's not necessary to have three separate calls anymore. This patch also
fixes things so we don't try to read pg_internal.init until after we've
obtained lock on the target database; which was fairly harmless, but it's
certainly cleaner this way.
in various places that were previously doing ad hoc pg_database searches.
This may speed up database-related privilege checks a little bit, but
the main motivation is to eliminate the performance reason for having
ReverifyMyDatabase do such a lot of stuff (viz, avoiding repeat scans
of pg_database during backend startup). The locking reason for having
that routine is about to go away, and it'd be good to have the option
to break it up.
cases. This was not needed in the existing uses within selfuncs.c, but if
we're gonna export it for general use, the extra generality seems helpful.
Motivated by looking at ltree example.
thereby saving a visit to the metapage in most index searches/updates.
This wouldn't actually save any I/O (since in the old regime the metapage
generally stayed in cache anyway), but it does provide a useful decrease
in bufmgr traffic in high-contention scenarios. Per my recent proposal.
transaction_timestamp() (just like now()).
Also update statement_timeout() to mention it is statement arrival time
that is measured.
Catalog version updated.
when trying to locate the referent of a RECORD variable. This fixes the
'record type has not been registered' failure reported by Stefan
Kaltenbrunner about a month ago. A side effect of the way I chose to
fix it is that most variable references in join conditions will now be
properly labeled with the variable's source table name, instead of the
not-too-helpful 'outer' or 'inner' we used to use.
