2004-04-12Here's an attempt at new socket and signal code for win32.Bruce Momjian
It works on the principle of turning sockets into non-blocking, and then emulate blocking behaviour on top of that, while allowing signals to run. Signals are now implemented using an event instead of APCs, thus getting rid of the issue of APCs not being compatible with "old style" sockets functions. It also moves the win32 specific code away from pqsignal.h/c into port/win32, and also removes the "thread style workaround" of the APC issue previously in place. In order to make things work, a few things are also changed in pgstat.c: 1) There is now a separate pipe to the collector and the bufferer. This is required because the pipe will otherwise only be signalled in one of the processes when the postmaster goes down. The MS winsock code for select() must have some kind of workaround for this behaviour, but I have found no stable way of doing that. You really are not supposed to use the same socket from more than one process (unless you use WSADuplicateSocket(), in which case the docs specifically say that only one will be flagged). 2) The check for "postmaster death" is moved into a separate select() call after the main loop. The previous behaviour select():ed on the postmaster pipe, while later explicitly saying "we do NOT check for postmaster exit inside the loop". The issue was that the code relies on the same select() call seeing both the postmaster pipe *and* the pgstat pipe go away. This does not always happen, and it appears that useing WSAEventSelect() makes it even more common that it does not. Since it's only called when the process exits, I don't think using a separate select() call will have any significant impact on how the stats collector works. Magnus Hagander

2004-04-11Exit backend from SIGTERM or FATAL by simulating client EOF, rather thanBruce Momjian
calling proc_exit() directly. This should make SIGTERM more reliable.
2004-04-10Please find a small patch to fix the brain damage "century" andBruce Momjian
"millennium" date part implementation in postgresql, both in the code and the documentation, so that it conforms to the official definition. If you do not agree with the official definition, please send your complaint to "[email protected]". I'm not responsible for them;-) With the previous version, the centuries and millenniums had a wrong number and started the wrong year. Moreover century number 0, which does not exist in reality, lasted 200 years. Also, millennium number 0 lasted 2000 years. If you want postgresql to have it's own definition of "century" and "millennium" that does not conform to the one of the society, just give them another name. I would suggest "pgCENTURY" and "pgMILLENNIUM";-) IMO, if someone may use the options, it means that postgresql is used for historical data, so it make sense to have an historical definition. Also, I just want to divide the year by 100 or 1000, I can do that quite easily. BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE Fabien Coelho - [email protected]

2004-04-07> >>1. change the type of "log_statement" option from boolean to string,Bruce Momjian
> >>with allowed values of "all, mod, ddl, none" with default "none". OK, here is a patch that implements #1. Here is sample output: test=> set client_min_messages = 'log'; SET test=> set log_statement = 'mod'; SET test=> select 1; ?column? ---------- 1 (1 row) test=> update test set x=1; LOG: statement: update test set x=1; ERROR: relation "test" does not exist test=> update test set x=1; LOG: statement: update test set x=1; ERROR: relation "test" does not exist test=> copy test from '/tmp/x'; LOG: statement: copy test from '/tmp/x'; ERROR: relation "test" does not exist test=> copy test to '/tmp/x'; ERROR: relation "test" does not exist test=> prepare xx as select 1; PREPARE test=> prepare xx as update x set y=1; LOG: statement: prepare xx as update x set y=1; ERROR: relation "x" does not exist test=> explain analyze select 1;; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Result (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.006..0.007 rows=1 loops=1) Total runtime: 0.046 ms (2 rows) test=> explain analyze update test set x=1; LOG: statement: explain analyze update test set x=1; ERROR: relation "test" does not exist test=> explain update test set x=1; ERROR: relation "test" does not exist It checks PREPARE and EXECUTE ANALYZE too. The log_statement values are 'none', 'mod', 'ddl', and 'all'. For 'all', it prints before the query is parsed, and for ddl/mod, it does it right after parsing using the node tag (or command tag for CREATE/ALTER/DROP), so any non-parse errors will print after the log line.
2004-04-06Support FULL JOIN with no join clauses, such as X FULL JOIN Y ON TRUE.Tom Lane
That particular corner case is not exactly compelling, but given 7.4's ability to discard redundant join clauses, it is possible for the situation to arise from queries that are not so obviously silly. Per bug report of 6-Apr-04.

equal to the desired restart value (must clear is_called, did not). Per bug report #1127 from Piotr Konieczny.

sched_yield is a requirement for the test but not for our PostgreSQL code, so if it causes a portability problem, we will remove it.
