2008-05-16Add detection of psql pager to trigger on wide output. Also add pagerBruce Momjian
detection for wrapped lines or lines with newlines that need pager to display.

prefix matching using this facility. Teodor Sigaev and Oleg Bartunov

2008-05-15Add support for tracking call counts and elapsed runtime for user-definedTom Lane
functions. Note that because this patch changes FmgrInfo, any external C functions you might be testing with 8.4 will need to be recompiled. Patch by Martin Pihlak, some editorialization by me (principally, removing tracking of getrusage() numbers)
2008-05-14Remove odd duplicate wording in psql pager section.Bruce Momjian
2008-05-13Improve plpgsql's RAISE command. It is now possible to attach DETAIL andTom Lane
HINT fields to a user-thrown error message, and to specify the SQLSTATE error code to use. The syntax has also been tweaked so that the Oracle-compatible case "RAISE exception_name" works (though you won't get a very nice error message if you just write that much). Lastly, support the Oracle-compatible syntax "RAISE" with no parameters to re-throw the current error from within an EXCEPTION block. In passing, allow the syntax SQLSTATE 'nnnnn' within EXCEPTION lists, so that there is a way to trap errors with custom SQLSTATE codes. Pavel Stehule and Tom Lane

> o -Prevent parent tables from altering or dropping constraints > o -Prevent child tables from altering or dropping constraints
2008-05-09Change the rules for inherited CHECK constraints to be essentially the sameTom Lane
as those for inherited columns; that is, it's no longer allowed for a child table to not have a check constraint matching one that exists on a parent. This satisfies the principle of least surprise (rows selected from the parent will always appear to meet its check constraints) and eliminates some longstanding bogosity in pg_dump, which formerly had to guess about whether check constraints were really inherited or not. The implementation involves adding conislocal and coninhcount columns to pg_constraint (paralleling attislocal and attinhcount in pg_attribute) and refactoring various ALTER TABLE actions to be more like those for columns. Alex Hunsaker, Nikhil Sontakke, Tom Lane

2008-05-02Extend yesterday's patch making BLCKSZ and RELSEG_SIZE configurable to alsoTom Lane
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure. Per a proposal by Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather than "xlog".
2008-05-02Remove the recently added USE_SEGMENTED_FILES option, and indeed remove allTom Lane
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c. Per recent discussions, there doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to segmenting with a suitably large segment size. So instead provide a configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes. While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well. Zdenek Kotala
2008-05-01Make the minimum allowed value of work_mem be 64KB always, rather than havingTom Lane
it vary with BLCKSZ as before. This agrees with what the documentation says, and avoids a regression test problem when BLCKSZ is larger than default. Per recent discussion.
