Fujii Masao.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/dfe8ec3ab9a39cd50774 036632f9f645b56=
7eea3

- Add doc cross-reference to search_path discussion of
current_schemas(). Brendan Jurd
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/2a890421424da5cca422 6ee8afd562c3562=
05815

- Clarify that NATURAL without matching columns is like CROSS JOIN.
As suggested by Grzegorz Szpetkowski.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/6b02ed66e2856abb1d5e ef64747badd4fc7=
8cef9

- Remove parentheses from mention of current_schemas function. This
is more consistent with what we do elsewhere, and hopefully avoids
creating the perception that current_schemas takes no arguments. As
suggested by Brendan Jurd
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/2202891669735242a242 99f85a788a3aa04=
61404

- Improve accuracy of ON_ERROR_STOP documentation. Per a gripe from
Tom Lane.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c3ad1e8dbd6cf1ff6d29 bd2edb2da2c3518=
7e768

- Fix typo. Per Josh Kupershmidt and Tom Lane.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/d61ec7c7a7ec82286288 0467a5722ccfb0d=
d9b82

- Fix minor thinko in ProcGlobalShmemSize(). There's no need to add
space for startupBufferPinWaitBufId, because it's part of the
PROC_HDR object for which this function already allocates space.
This has been wrong for a while, but the only consequence is that
our shared memory allocation is increased by 4 bytes, so no
back-patch.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c573486ce9752afb9a84 31089762d6845cf=
1429d

- Fix crash in CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE. The code that created the init
fork neglected to make sure that the relation was open at the smgr
level before attempting to invoke smgr. This didn't happen every
time; only when the relcache entry was rebuilt along the way. Per
report from Garick Hamlin.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/bf347c60bdd7e05800f0 c06d03e2ad87aea=
a5e09

- Add overflow checks to int4 and int8 versions of generate_series().
The previous code went into an infinite loop after overflow. In
fact, an overflow is not really an error; it just means that the
current value is the last one we need to return. So, just arrange
to stop immediately when overflow is detected. Back-patch all the
way.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/062780ec35f9db630e78 4b27a54440017df=
77531

Alvaro Herrera pushed:

- Expand warnings on locks acquired by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. The
previous wording wasn't explicit enough, which could misled readers
into thinking that the locks acquired are more restricted in nature
than they really are. The resulting optimism can be damaging to
morale when confronted with reality, as has been observed in the
field. Greg Smith
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a03feb9354bda5084f19 cc952bc52ba7be8=
9f372

- Fix aboriginal copy-paste mistake in error message. Spotted by
Jaime Casanova
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8f59e023ef05d4f45e1c 10a8bbc96bf8b4a=
96a89

- Mention DROP TABLE as well as ALTER TABLE NO INHERIT ... when
talking about how good they are in replacement of bulk DELETE in
partitioned setups. The original wording was a bit confusing. Per
an observation from David Wheeler.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/fc7e99872cb3595638fc 00ab96cf433bfa7=
7fb14

- Fix grammatical mistake introduced by previous commit. Per note
from Tom Lane
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8cfd59dd65fe992fda03 58a4bdca9e610c6=
24a3c

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/f3008c31f02948290f2e dde9c39dc83371a=

Bruce Momjian pushed:

- Document that bits to the right of the CIDR mask "should" be zero,
not "must".
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/2fccc881a9184879deeb 9580bc25e7c420c=
580f8

- In pg_upgrade, check there are no prepared transactions.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/07d17a73ec9485d6fa09 6d29d26647459fb=
9cbb7

- In pg_upgrade, document that link mode has to have data directories
on the same file system, and that authentication should lock out
normal users. Per suggestsion from #postgresql irc channel.
Backpatch to 9.1.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/776fa183594f6e718418 3ab632c87996e96=
f7cf6

- In pg_upgrade, clean up code layout in validateDirectoryOption().
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e3df3572f66aa099d337 f013dceef7d519e=
f8398

Peter Eisentraut pushed:

- Move parse2.pl to parse.pl. We have a SCM, so we don't need to keep
old versions of files around.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/030a2831a8df7829d606 a873e28330ea231=
0fd64

- Remove unused variable. The variable became obsolete in commit
68739ba856c52e6721d6cffec21f1bf0327a9a7b, but only gcc 4.6 shows the
warning.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/90132f62a2847fb2bc93 a7c2366a139fe12=
bf365

- Add comment that attributes.is_nullable was removed from SQL
standard. We don't have to remove the column if no one is bothered,
but it's useful to comment on it in case someone looks for it in
newer standards versions.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/efb224a4392326fd6ae3 eabdc170a246978=
d3f09

- Allow psql \d tab completion to complete all relation kinds. This
matches what \d actually accepts.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/707195c8f487a39c34ea 4d965140465594e=
b5c21

- Document that psql's \d also works with composite types. This has
always been true, it was just never documented.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/da023acd1aec18e71578 9540f150c77b919=
c65a0

- Start using flexible array members. Flexible array members are a
C99 feature that avoids "cheating" in the declaration of
variable-length arrays at the end of structs. With Autoconf
support, this should be transparent for older compilers. We start
with one use in gist.h because gcc 4.6 started to raise a warning
there. Over time, it can be expanded to other places in the source,
but they will likely need some review of sizeof and offsetof usage.
The current change in gist.h appears to be safe in this regard.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/dbbba5279f66f95805c1 e084e6f646d1749=
31e56

- Avoid compiler warnings due to possibly unused variables. gcc 4.6
complains about these because of the new option
-Wunused-but-set-variable which comes in with -Wall, so cast them to
void, which avoids the warning.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7357558fc8866e3a449a a9473c419b593d6=
7b5b6

- Make external_pid_file world readable
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/223d14a984e677823bd4 f865ff22e14dd3f=
e9b76

- Capitalization fixes
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8a8fbe7e799cfc0d8dc5 ffef5640df6dac8=
acd6c

Heikki Linnakangas pushed:

- Renumber 2PC resource managers so that compared to 9.0, predicate
lock rmgr is added to the end, and existing resource managers keep
their old ids. We're not going to guarantee on-disk compatibility
for 2PC state files over major releases, but it seems better to
avoid changing the ids them anyway. It will help anyone who might
want to write external tools to inspect the state files to work with
files from different versions, if nothing else. Per complaint from
Tom Lane.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/b81831acbc671445061e d41a55fb1cc21d8=
e2979

- Oops, forgot to change the order of entries in 2PC callback arrays
when I renumbered the resource managers. This should fix the
buildfarm..
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/85ea93384ae21ff59f5e 5b292884a86f9c1=
0b852

- Make non-MVCC snapshots exempt from predicate locking. Scans with
non-MVCC snapshots, like in REINDEX, are basically non-transactional
operations. The DDL operation itself might participate in SSI, but
there's separate functions for that. Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports,
with some changes by me.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0a0e2b52a5a53b8747c1 65ff5c976f27df0=
5a2e1

- The rolled-back flag on serializable xacts was pointless and
redundant with the marked-for-death flag. It was only set for a
fleeting moment while a transaction was being cleaned up at
rollback. All the places that checked for the rolled-back flag
should also check the marked-for-death flag, as both flags mean that
the transaction will roll back. I also renamed the marked-for-death
into "doomed", which is a lot shorter name.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/264a6b127a918800d9f8 bac80b5f4a8a879=
9d0f1

- pgindent run of recent SSI changes. Also, remove an unnecessary
#include. Kevin Grittner
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/cb94db91b257c6375f59 7d9e9df2f48d532=
6a967

- Update README-SSI. Add a section to describe the "dangerous
structure" that SSI is based on, as well as the optimizations about
relative commit times and read-only transactions. Plus a bunch of
other misc fixes and improvements. Dan Ports
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/78475b0ecac4e7793366 d2dba0cb875a8fd=
e6bb0

Tom Lane pushed:

- Fix assorted issues with build and install paths containing spaces.
Apparently there is no buildfarm critter exercising this case after
all, because it fails in several places. With this patch, build,
install, check-world, and installcheck-world pass for me on OS X.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a61b6b7d184dc7aa2475 eb4d293990404be=
5fedd

- Suppress -arch switches in the output of ExtUtils::Embed. We
previously found out that OS X's standard perl installation tries to
put -arch switches into Perl link commands, evidently in hopes of
building universal binaries. But it doesn't work to add such
switches in plperl's link step if they weren't being used earlier,
so this is basically unworkable. When using gcc the result is only
some warnings; but LLVM fails entirely, so this issue isn't as
cosmetic as we originally thought. Hence, back-patch commit
d69a419e682c2d39c2355105a7e5e2b90357c8f0 into pre-9.0 branches.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/212567ad3ee23c7ff630 e41034c48814b3f=
18cc9

- Fix oversights in pg_basebackup's -z (compression) option. The
short-form -z switch didn't work, for lack of telling getopt_long
about it; and even if specified long-form, it failed to do anything,
because the various tests elsewhere in the file would take
Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION (which is -1) as meaning "don't compress".
Per bug #6060 from Shigehiro Honda, though I editorialized on his
patch a bit.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/31156ce8b95c5e9fa8cb 01f08de008c3289=
c1086

- Fix failure to account for memory used by tuplestore_putvalues().
This oversight could result in a tuplestore using much more than the
intended amount of memory. It would only happen in a code path that
loaded a tuplestore via tuplestore_putvalues(), and many of those
won't emit huge amounts of data; but cases such as holdable cursors
and plpgsql's RETURN NEXT command could have the problem. The fix
ensures that the tuplestore will switch to write-to-disk mode when
it overruns work_mem. The potential overrun was finite, because we
would still count the space used by the tuple pointer array, so the
tuplestore code would eventually flip into write-to-disk mode
anyway. When storing wide tuples we would go far past the expected
work_mem usage before that happened; but this may account for the
lack of prior reports. Back-patch to 8.4, where
tuplestore_putvalues was introduced. Per bug #6061 from Yann
Delorme.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/10db3de66eb226e9aed3 2e789abd532c41f=
0f471

- Rework parsing of ConstraintAttributeSpec to improve NOT VALID
handling. The initial commit of the ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY NOT
VALID feature failed to support labeling such constraints as
deferrable. The best fix for this seems to be to fold NOT VALID
into ConstraintAttributeSpec. That's a bit more general than the
documented syntax, but it allows better-targeted syntax error
messages. In addition, do some mostly-but-not-entirely-cosmetic
code review for the whole NOT VALID patch.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e1ccaff6eea1b48f4b9b 28cabaf0f990119=
b0d19

- Use single quotes in preference to double quotes for protecting
pathnames. Per recommendation from Peter Eisentraut. Neither
choice is bulletproof, but this is the existing style and it does
help prevent unexpected environment variable substitution.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/1568fa75bcf393977425 ccb73752b98883a=
9f375

- Remove another no-longer-needed inclusion of predicate.h.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/307a4c2cbbb8e824163f ca354783e79d289=
2d231

- Index tuple data arrays using Anum_xxx symbolic constants instead of
"i++". We had already converted most places to this style, but this
patch gets the last few that were still doing it the old way. The
main advantage is that this exposes a greppable name for each target
column, rather than having to rely on comments (which a couple of
places failed to provide anyhow). Richard Hopkins, additional work
by me to clean up update_attstats() too
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/bfcb9328e51eaaa21c92 a1f2d7262758afb=
843e8

- Obtain table locks as soon as practical during pg_dump. For some
reason, when we (I) added table lock acquisition to pg_dump, we
didn't think about making it happen as soon as possible after the
start of the transaction. What with subsequent additions, there was
actually quite a lot going on before we got around to that; which
sort of defeats the purpose. Rearrange the order of calls in
dumpSchema() to close the risk window as much as we easily can.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/68d977a73797a1299131 79010eea088f30e=
370b7

- Don't use "cp -i" in the example WAL archive_command. This is a
dangerous example to provide because on machines with GNU cp, it
will silently do the wrong thing and risk archive corruption.
Worse, during the 9.0 cycle somebody "improved" the discussion by
removing the warning that used to be there about that, and instead
leaving the impression that the command would work as desired on
most Unixen. It doesn't. Try to rectify the damage by providing an
example that is safe most everywhere, and then noting that you can
try cp -i if you want but you'd better test that. In back-patching
this to all supported branches, I also added an example command for
Windows, which wasn't provided before 9.0.
=20

62a8c

Simon Riggs pushed:

- Respect Hot Standby controls while recycling btree index pages.
Btree pages were recycled after VACUUM deletes all records on a page
and then a subsequent VACUUM occurs after the RecentXmin horizon is
reached. Using RecentXmin meant that we did not respond correctly to
the user controls provide to avoid Hot Standby conflicts and so
spurious conflicts could be generated in some workload combinations.
We now reuse pages only when we reach RecentGlobalXmin, which can be
much later in the presence of long running queries and is also
controlled by vacuum_defer_cleanup_age and hot_standby_feedback.
Noah Misch and Simon Riggs.

- Define FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER for MSVC.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/236a11dc65906cc200bc e4e6db26d20b299=

- Set FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER to empty for MSVC. Per gripe from Tom
Lane. I have tested this with VC 2008, and assume it will work with
earlier versions.

Magnus Hagander pushed:

- Remove redundant lib*dll.def rules from .gitignore. Since we now
have a global rule in the root .gitignore, there's no need to keep
directory-specific ones as well. Noted by Peter Eisentraut
