vacuumdb itself is not very comfortable to use when the databases have
passwords, because it has to connect once for each table (I can probably
make it connect only once for each database; should I?). Because of
this I added a mention of PGPASSWORDFILE in the documentation, but I
don't know if that is the correct place for that.

width types and varlena types, since with the introduction of CSTRING as

use varlena consistently to denote datatypes with typlen = -1, ie, they

width covers both varlena and cstring (and, perhaps, someday other types
with other rules for computing the actual width). No code changes in this

the server. Previously we allocated a new String object for the entire final
query we were sending to the database. If you had a big query, or especially
if you had large bind values you ended up with essentially two copies in memory.
This change will reuse the existing objects and therefore should take 1/2 the
memory it does today for a given query. This restructuring will also allow
in the future the ability to stream bytea data to the server instead of the current approach of pulling it all into memory.
I also fixed a test that was failing on a 7.2 database.
Also renamed some internal variables and some minor cleanup.

Good point -- that wouldn't cause incorrect results or a security

This patch is an updated version of the lock listing patch. I've made
the following changes:
- write documentation
- wrap the SRF in a view called 'pg_locks': all user-level
access should be done through this view
- re-diff against latest CVS
One thing I chose not to do is adapt the SRF to use the anonymous
composite type code from Joe Conway. I'll probably do that eventually,
but I'm not really convinced it's a significantly cleaner way to
bootstrap SRF builtins than the method this patch uses (of course, it
has other uses...)
Neil Conway
Everytime if I do PQconsumeInput (when the backend channel gets
readable) I check for the return value. (0 == error) and generate a
notification manually, e.g. fixed string connection_closed) and pass it to the
TCL event queue. The only other thing I had to do is to comment out removing
all pending events in PgStopNotifyEventSource whenever the connection was
unexpectedly closed (so the manually generated event will not be deleted).
A broken backend connection triggers a notify event to the client (fixed
notification string "connection_closed") so proper action can be taken to switch
to another database server etc. Remember that this is event driven. If you have
applications, that have idle database connections most of the time, you'll get
immediate feedback of a dying server. Upon connection to the server issue a
pg_notify for notify event "connection_closed" and whenever the backend crashes
(which it does do in very very rare cases) you get an event driven recovery. (of
course the Tcl-Event loop has to be processed). Issuing a notification
"connection_closed" on a still working database could be used for switching to
another db-server (which I've actually impelemented right now).

syscat.py scripts were both modified. pg.py uses it to cache a list of
pks (which is seemingly does for every db connection) and various
attributes. syscat uses it to walk the list of system tables and
queries the various attributes from these tables.
In both cases, it seemingly makes sense to apply what you've requested.

saw a fix offered up. Since I'm gearing up to use Postgres and Python
soon, I figured I'd have a hand at trying to get this sucker addressed.
Apologies if this has already been plugged. I looked in the archives
and never saw a response.
At any rate, I must admit I don't think I fully understand the
implications of some of the changes I made even though they appear to be
straight forward. We all know the devil is in the details. Anyone more
knowledgeable is requested to review my changes. :(
I also updated the advanced.py script in a somewhat nonsensical fashion
to make use of an int8 field in an effort to test this change. It seems
to run okay, however, this is by no means an all exhaustive test. So,
it's possible that a bumpy road may lay ahead for some. On the other

composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view
based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to
everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving
show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed
all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During
initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently
available through SHOW ALL. For example:
test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%';
name | setting
-----------------------+---------
debug_assertions | on
debug_pretty_print | off
debug_print_parse | off
debug_print_plan | off
debug_print_query | off
debug_print_rewritten | off
wal_debug | 0

Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible
to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as
Tom put it. Here's an example:

This concludes my changes that restructured the code to support JDBC3.
The jdbc unit tests were also resturctured to allow different tests between
jdbc2 and jdbc3, although currently make check (aka ant test) for JDBC3 just
runs the JDBC2 tests. Of special note the largeobject/PGblob and PGclob
classes have been moved under the jdbc2/jdbc3 specific directories as they
now differ by jdbc version. Also note that this checkin removes the
PostgresqlDataSource and files in the xa directory. A recent checkin has
added new datasource support that replaces the functionality provided by these
classes.

an update chain, emit a warning and abandon repair_frag, but do not give

heap_mark4update; this avoids situations where a deleted tuple might

Rethink locking of pg_statistic in light of this fact. The original
scheme took an exclusive lock on pg_statistic, which was okay when the
lock could be expected to be released shortly, but that doesn't hold
anymore. Back off to a normal writer's lock (RowExclusiveLock). This
allows concurrent ANALYZE of nonoverlapping sets of tables, at the price
that concurrent ANALYZEs of the same table may fail with 'tuple
concurrently updated'.

I update two tuples, so I manually CatalogOpenIndexes() and
CatalogIndexInsert() two times, as per comments in
CatalogUpdateIndexes().
I also removed a couple of useless CommandCounterIncrement(), some
useless definitions in src/include/commands/cluster.h and useless
includes in src/backend/commands/cluster.c. This version passes the
regression test I had made for previous versions.

executed in an implicitely aborted transaction (e.g. after an occur
occurs), we return an error (and not just a warning). For example:
nconway=# begin;
BEGIN
nconway=# insert; -- syntax error
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";"
nconway=# select * from a;
ERROR: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of
transaction block
The old behavior was:
nconway=# begin;
BEGIN
nconway=# insert;
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";"
nconway=# select * from a;
WARNING: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end
of transaction block

Which can be confusing: if the client isn't paying careful attention,
they will conclude that the query has executed (because no error is
returned).
Neil Conway
The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations
(unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared
bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations
use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations
in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance.
Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the
local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code
is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty
relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL.
Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would
be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.
hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's
mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This
reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single

can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit
improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.

handling and type checking; Joe is on those.
types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a
brief explanation:
1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either
'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class).
2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the
first of potentially several pseudo types.
3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept:
SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...)
where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and
type1, etc are the column types.
4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list
of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is
disallowed.
5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser
and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of
attributes.
When creating a function you can do:
CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ...
When using it you can do:
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and
expected files, and documentation.
p.s.
This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin
Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and
we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column
defs. For example:
CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS
SELECT s.name, s.setting
FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text);
Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to
pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing
settings to be queried and set.

in the relcache. It's rather silly that we have reference count leak
checks in bufmgr and in catcache, but not in relcache which will normally
have many fewer entries. Chris K-L would have caught at least one bug
in his recent DROP patch if he'd had this.
relation being modified. In most paths of control we'd already have
such a lock, but if we were dropping the default due to a cascaded
delete of some function it depended on, maybe not.
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
attstattarget to indicate 'use the default'. The default is now a GUC
variable default_statistics_target, and so may be changed on the fly. Along
the way we gain the ability to have pg_dump dump the per-column statistics
target when it's not the default. Patch by Neil Conway, with some kibitzing
from Tom Lane.
this only works against 7.3 or later databases; the pushups required
to do it without regprocedure/regtype/etc seem more trouble than they're
worth, considering that existing users aren't expecting pg_dump support
for this.
'tioga recipes', whatever those are -- Peter E. killed most
of it a couple days ago, but this patch removes the rest. Most
of it was #ifdef'ed out anyway.

The attached patch completes the following TODO item:
* Generate failure on short COPY lines rather than pad NULLs
I also restructed a lot of the existing COPY code, did some code
review on the column list patch sent in by Brent Verner a little
while ago, and added some regression tests. I also added an
explicit check (and resultant error) for extra data before
the end-of-line.

a few other things:
* Made all references to the pg_* tables absolute, by specifying
the pg_catalog schema.
* Added SCHEMA as a create/delete completion option.
* Added SCHEMA completion as: SELECT nspname FROM
pg_catalog.pg_namespace
WHERE substr(nspname,1,%d)='%s'
* Added completion of "INSERT INTO <table> (" with attribute names.
* Added completion of "INSERT INTO <table> (attribs)" with
VALUES or SELECT
* Added limited locking completion: only for one table:
"LOCK" and "LOCK TABLE" now both get a completion list of tables
Complete with "IN" for LOCK [TABLE] <table>
Complete LOCK [TABLE] <table> IN with a lock mode
* Added a very simple WHERE finisher that uses the previous word
as a table lookup for attributes.
* Added quote support when parsing "previous words". In other words,
hitting tab after INSERT INTO "foo bar baby"
now does the right thing and recognizes "foo bar baby" as one word.
Letting tab-complete quote things that should be quoted seems to be
temporarily ifdef'ed out due to readline compatibility problems.
Can anyone elaborate on this?

deleted that had another row inserted/updated to its old
value during the same statement or other statements before the
integrity check for noaction would incorrectly error. This
could happen in deferred constraints or due to triggers or
functions. It's effectively a reworking of the previous patch that
did a not exists to instead do a separate check.
Stephan Szabo
changes mentioned above, and also adds a new function to the tablefunc
API. The tablefunc API change adds the following function:
* Oid foidGetTypeId(Oid foid) - Get a function's typeid given the
* function Oid. Use this together with TypeGetTupleDesc() to get a
* TupleDesc which is derived from the function's declared return type.
In the next post I'll send the contrib/tablefunc patch, which
illustrates the usage of this new function. Also attached is a doc patch
for this change. The doc patch also adds a function that I failed to
document previously.
Joe Conway
copied more places than I first thought it would. This fixes a bug:
a couple of these places were neglecting to enforce USAGE access on
explicitly-referenced schemas.
documentation (xindex.sgml should be rewritten), need to teach pg_dump
about it, need to update contrib modules that currently build pg_opclass
entries by hand. Original patch by Bill Studenmund, grammar adjustments
and general update for 7.3 by Tom Lane.

Attempts to use the obsoleted attributes of pg_operator or pg_proc
in the CREATE commands will be greeted by a warning. For pg_type,
there is no warning (yet) because pg_dump scripts still contain these
attributes.
Also remove new but already obsolete spellings
isVolatile, isStable, isImmutable in WITH clause. (Use new syntax
instead.)
of duplicated code between the jdbc1 and jdbc2. This checkin restructures
the code so that the duplication is removed so that the jdbc3 support
can be added without adding yet another copy of everything. Also many
classes were renamed to avoid confusion with multiple different objects
having the same name. The timestamp tests were also updated to add support
for testing timestamp without time zone in addition to timestamp with time zone
