2008-04-23Prevent shutdown in normal mode if online backup is running, andMagnus Hagander
have pg_ctl warn about this. Cancel running online backups (by renaming the backup_label file, thus rendering the backup useless) when shutting down in fast mode. Laurenz Albe
2008-04-22Replace developer FAQ with a reference to the wiki, which is whereMagnus Hagander
it now lives (per discussion). Leave the other FAQs alone for now.
2008-04-21Fix typo, noted by Stefan Kaltenbrunner.Magnus Hagander
2008-04-21Add link to major version release notes at the top of the minorMagnus Hagander
version ones, to make it clear to users just browsing the notes that there are a lot more changes available from whatever version they are at than what's in the minor version release notes.
2008-04-21Allow float8, int8, and related datatypes to be passed by value on machinesTom Lane
where Datum is 8 bytes wide. Since this will break old-style C functions (those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change. Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.

2008-04-19Remove TODO.detail references; instead add TODO URLs pointing to theBruce Momjian
archives. We have been using URLs for a while for new items.
2008-04-18Cause EXPLAIN's VERBOSE option to print the target list (output column list)Tom Lane
of each plan node, instead of its former behavior of dumping the internal representation of the plan tree. The latter display is still available for those who really want it (see debug_print_plan), but uses for it are certainly few and and far between. Per discussion. This patch also removes the explain_pretty_print GUC, which is obsoleted by the change.

2008-04-14Push index operator lossiness determination down to GIST/GIN opclassTom Lane
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need 8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the index match is exact or not. Tom Lane, after an idea of Heikki's, and with some help from Teodor.

* Consider automatic caching of statements at various levels: > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-04/msg00823.php
2008-04-13Phase 2 of project to make index operator lossiness be determined at runtimeTom Lane
instead of plan time. Extend the amgettuple API so that the index AM returns a boolean indicating whether the indexquals need to be rechecked, and make that rechecking happen in nodeIndexscan.c (currently the only place where it's expected to be needed; other callers of index_getnext are just erroring out for now). For the moment, GIN and GIST have stub logic that just always sets the recheck flag to TRUE --- I'm hoping to get Teodor to handle pushing that control down to the opclass consistent() functions. The planner no longer pays any attention to amopreqcheck, and that catalog column will go away in due course.
2008-04-13Turn the -i/--ignore-version options of pg_dump and pg_dumpall into no-ops:Tom Lane
the server version check is now always enforced. Relax the version check to allow a server that is of pg_dump's own major version but a later minor version; this is the only case that -i was at all safe to use in. pg_restore already enforced only a very weak version check, so this is really just a documentation change for it. Per discussion.

2008-04-11Update URLs for dead space map.Bruce Momjian
2008-04-10Replace "amgetmulti" AM functions with "amgetbitmap", in which the wholeTom Lane
indexscan always occurs in one call, and the results are returned in a TIDBitmap instead of a limited-size array of TIDs. This should improve speed a little by reducing AM entry/exit overhead, and it is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to support bitmap indexes. In an only slightly related change, add support for TIDBitmaps to preserve (somewhat lossily) the knowledge that particular TIDs reported by an index need to have their quals rechecked when the heap is visited. This facility is not really used yet; we'll need to extend the forced-recheck feature to plain indexscans before it's useful, and that hasn't been coded yet. The intent is to use it to clean up 8.3's horrid @@@ kluge for text search with weighted queries. There might be other uses in future, but that one alone is sufficient reason. Heikki Linnakangas, with some adjustments by me.
