| 9052537 | Tom Lane | 22 August 2005, 23:59:04 UTC | Rewrite gather-write patch into something less obviously bolted on after the fact. Fix bug with incorrect test for whether we are at end of logfile segment. Arrange for writes triggered by XLogInsert's is-cache-more-than-half-full test to synchronize with the cache boundaries, so that in long transactions we tend to write alternating halves of the cache rather than randomly chosen portions of it; this saves one more write syscall per cache load. | 22 August 2005, 23:59:04 UTC |

| bf1e33d | Tom Lane | 22 August 2005, 17:38:20 UTC | Fix unwanted denial of ALTER OWNER rights to superusers. There was some discussion of getting around this by relaxing the checks made for regular users, but I'm disinclined to toy with the security model right now, so just special-case it for superusers where needed. | 22 August 2005, 17:38:20 UTC |

| f88e807 | Tom Lane | 22 August 2005, 16:27:36 UTC | Use an initdb-time test to see if the local version of getaddrinfo() chokes on IPv6 addresses, and comment out the IPv6 entry in the default pg_hba.conf if so. Per Andrew Dunstan. | 22 August 2005, 16:27:36 UTC |
| d0096a4 | Tom Lane | 22 August 2005, 00:41:28 UTC | Fix some inconsistent choices of datatypes in xlog.c. Make buffer indexes all be int, rather than variously int, uint16 and uint32; add some casts where necessary to support large buffer arrays. | 22 August 2005, 00:41:28 UTC |
| 6fcaaf2 | Tom Lane | 21 August 2005, 03:39:37 UTC | Minor GUC cleanups: document krb_server_hostname and custom_variable_classes in postgresql.conf.sample, mark custom_variable_classes as SIGHUP not POSTMASTER to agree with the documentation (I can't see a reason it has to be POSTMASTER so I think the docs are right). | 21 August 2005, 03:39:37 UTC |
| e22443f | Bruce Momjian | 21 August 2005, 01:04:45 UTC | Add: > * Fix problems with wrong runtime encoding conversion for NLS message files | 21 August 2005, 01:04:45 UTC |
| f39f6b5 | Tom Lane | 20 August 2005, 23:45:08 UTC | Seems that the childXids list would be better based on Oid lists than integer lists. | 20 August 2005, 23:45:08 UTC |
| 0007490 | Tom Lane | 20 August 2005, 23:26:37 UTC | Convert the arithmetic for shared memory size calculation from 'int' to 'Size' (that is, size_t), and install overflow detection checks in it. This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers etc. It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers. (How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.) Similarly, num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above 2Gb on a 64-bit machine. Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional work by moi. | 20 August 2005, 23:26:37 UTC |
| 2299cea | Tom Lane | 20 August 2005, 19:19:21 UTC | Invoke mksafefunc and mkunsafefunc with :: decoration. This seems a good idea on consistency grounds, whether or not it really fixes bug #1831. Michael Fuhr | 20 August 2005, 19:19:21 UTC |
| ba2fc7e | Tatsuo Ishii | 20 August 2005, 01:29:27 UTC | Make GetMultiXactIdMembers() a public function. | 20 August 2005, 01:29:27 UTC |

| f57e3f4 | Tom Lane | 20 August 2005, 00:40:32 UTC | Repair problems with VACUUM destroying t_ctid chains too soon, and with insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. (We must do both because even with VACUUM doing it properly, the intermediate state with a dangling t_ctid link is visible concurrently during lazy VACUUM, and could be seen afterwards if either type of VACUUM crashes partway through.) Also try to improve documentation about what's going on. Patch is a bit bulky because passing the XMAX information around required changing the APIs of some low-level heapam.c routines, but it's not conceptually very complicated. Per trouble report from Teodor and subsequent analysis. This needs to be back-patched, but I'll do that after 8.1 beta is out. | 20 August 2005, 00:40:32 UTC |
| 97bb6e8 | Bruce Momjian | 19 August 2005, 18:58:18 UTC | Fix LRU/ALL description mismatch for GUC parameter. | 19 August 2005, 18:58:18 UTC |

| dfdf07a | Tom Lane | 18 August 2005, 17:51:12 UTC | Fix up LIMIT/OFFSET planning so that we cope with non-constant LIMIT or OFFSET clauses by using estimate_expression_value(). The main advantage of this is that if the expression is a Param and we have a value for the Param, we'll use that value rather than defaulting. Also, fix some thinkos in the logic for combining LIMIT/OFFSET with an externally supplied tuple fraction (this covers cases like EXISTS(...LIMIT...)). And make sure the results of all this are shown by EXPLAIN. Per a gripe from Merlin Moncure. | 18 August 2005, 17:51:12 UTC |

Fix to_char(interval) to return large year/month/day/hour values that are larger than possible timestamp values. Prevent to_char(interval) format specifications that make no sense, like Month. Clean up formatting.c code to more logically handle return lengths. | 18 August 2005, 04:37:08 UTC |
| f8d0a82 | Tom Lane | 17 August 2005, 22:14:34 UTC | Avoid an Assert failure if OuterUserId hasn't been set yet during AbortTransaction. This can happen if a backend's InitPostgres transaction fails (eg, because the given username is invalid). Per Alvaro. | 17 August 2005, 22:14:34 UTC |

| 6629bc7 | Tom Lane | 16 August 2005, 00:48:12 UTC | Reject operator names >= NAMEDATALEN characters. These will not work anyway, and in assert-enabled builds you are likely to get an assertion failure. Backpatch as far as 7.3; 7.2 seems not to have the problem. | 16 August 2005, 00:48:12 UTC |
| 070a3ad | Bruce Momjian | 15 August 2005, 23:00:14 UTC | Rename pg_stat_file columns to be more consistent. Split apart change and creation columns to behave for Unix or Win32. | 15 August 2005, 23:00:14 UTC |
| 24bd944 | Tom Lane | 15 August 2005, 21:50:15 UTC | Clean up recent patch for PL handler functions in pg_catalog: the patch caused PL languages and handlers to be dumped ALWAYS, even in the face of contrary --schema or --table switches. Adopt a slightly saner definition. | 15 August 2005, 21:50:15 UTC |
| 9a93280 | Tom Lane | 15 August 2005, 21:02:26 UTC | Make createlang and droplang proof against weird search_path settings by forcing search_path to be just pg_catalog. | 15 August 2005, 21:02:26 UTC |
| 866ffc2 | Tom Lane | 15 August 2005, 19:40:20 UTC | array_in() and array_recv() need to be more paranoid about validating their OID parameter. It was possible to crash the backend with select array_in('{123}',0,0); because that would bypass the needed step of initializing the workspace. These seem to be the only two places with a problem, though (record_in and record_recv don't have the issue, and the other array functions aren't depending on user-supplied input). Back-patch as far as 7.4; 7.3 does not have the bug. | 15 August 2005, 19:40:20 UTC |
| e6a3012 | Tom Lane | 15 August 2005, 19:05:16 UTC | int_array_enum function should be using fcinfo->flinfo->fn_extra for working state, not fcinfo->context. Silly oversight on my part in last go-round of fixes. | 15 August 2005, 19:05:16 UTC |
| 87808ae | Tom Lane | 15 August 2005, 16:25:19 UTC | Allow the pgstat views to show toast tables as well as regular tables (the stats system has always collected this info, but the views were filtering it out). Modify autovacuum so that over-threshold activity in a toast table can trigger a VACUUM of the parent table, even if the parent didn't appear to need vacuuming itself. Per discussion a month or so back about "short, wide tables". | 15 August 2005, 16:25:19 UTC |

| f590ed1 | Tom Lane | 15 August 2005, 02:36:30 UTC | Change pg_dump to use pg_roles instead of pg_user on 8.1 and up, so that it will correctly dump owners of objects owned by non-login roles. | 15 August 2005, 02:36:30 UTC |
| 840b7f5 | Tom Lane | 14 August 2005, 23:35:38 UTC | Update administrator's guide chapters for ROLEs patch. | 14 August 2005, 23:35:38 UTC |
