post-abort cleanup hooks. I'm surprised that we have not needed this
already, but I need it now to fix a plpgsql problem, and the usefulness
for other dynamically loaded modules seems obvious.
in the RI triggers for ON DELETE/UPDATE SET DEFAULT. The code depended
way too much on knowledge of plan structure, and yet still would fail
if the generated query got rewritten by rules.
every string, especially if some of the output should be fixed-format
machine-readable. This needs to be more carefully sorted out. Also, make
the help message generated by --help-config -h be more similar in style to
the others.
to allow es_snapshot to be set to SnapshotNow rather than a query snapshot.
This solves a bug reported by Wade Klaver, wherein triggers fired as a
result of RI cascade updates could misbehave.
now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache
indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This
leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index
deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared-
index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone
mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes)
now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates.
It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs
can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except
shared catalogs.
since 7.3: 'select array_dims(histogram_bounds) from pg_stats' used to
work and still should. Problem was that code wouldn't take input of
declared type anyarray as matching an anyarray argument. Allow this
case as long as we don't need to determine an element type (which in
practice means as long as anyelement isn't used in the function signature).
difference between INSERT_IN_PROGRESS and DELETE_IN_PROGRESS for
tuples inserted and then deleted by a concurrent transaction.
Example of bug:
regression=# create table foo (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# begin;
BEGIN
regression=# insert into foo values(1);
INSERT 195531 1
regression=# delete from foo;
DELETE 1
regression=# insert into foo values(1);
INSERT 195532 1
regression=# create unique index fooi on foo(f1);
ERROR: could not create unique index

not just MAXALIGN boundaries. This makes a noticeable difference in
the speed of transfers to and from kernel space, at least on recent
Pentiums, and might help other CPUs too. We should look at making
this happen for local buffers and buffile.c too. Patch from Manfred Spraul.
Per recent discussion, this does not work because other backends can't
reliably see tuples in a temp table and so cannot run the RI checks
correctly. Seems better to disallow this case than go back to accessing
temp tables through shared buffers. Also, disallow FK references to
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables. We already caught this problem for normal
TRUNCATE, but the path used by ON COMMIT didn't check.
reindexing system tables without ignoring system indexes, when the
other two varieties of REINDEX disallow it. Make all three act the same,
and simplify downstream code accordingly.
child tables --- all cases that will trip various sanity checks elsewhere
in the system, as well as cases that should not occur in the only intended
use of this feature, namely coping with ancient pg_dump representation
of views. Per bug report from Chris Pizzi.
really general fix might be difficult, I believe the only case where
AtCommit_Notify could see an uncommitted tuple is where the other guy
has just unlistened and not yet committed. The best solution seems to
be to just skip updating that tuple, on the assumption that the other
guy does not want to hear about the notification anyway. This is not
perfect --- if the other guy rolls back his unlisten instead of committing,
then he really should have gotten this notify. But to do that, we'd have
to wait to see if he commits or not, or make UNLISTEN hold exclusive lock
on pg_listener until commit. Either of these answers is deadlock-prone,
not to mention horrible for interactive performance. Do it this way
for now. (What happened to that project to do LISTEN/NOTIFY in memory
with no table, anyway?)
recent gripe, I discovered not one but two undocumented, undesirable
behaviors of glibc's mktime. So, stop using it entirely, and always
rely on inversion of localtime() to determine the local time zone.
It's not even very much slower, as it turns out that mktime (at least
in the glibc implementation) also does repeated reverse-conversions.
comments/examples in pg_hba.conf. This patch remedies that, adds a brief
explanation of the connection types, and adds a missing period in the
docs.

ps status as '[local]', not as 'localhost' as the code has been doing
recently. That's too easily confused with TCP loopback connections,
and there is no good reason to change the behavior anyway.
to create a TCP/IP socket from FATAL to LOG. This was unwise;
historically we have expected socket conflicts to abort postmaster
startup. Conflicts on port numbers with another postmaster can only
be detected reliably at the TCP socket level.
