2014-06-12Rename lo_create(oid, bytea) to lo_from_bytea().Tom Lane
The previous naming broke the query that libpq's lo_initialize() uses to collect the OIDs of the server-side functions it requires, because that query effectively assumes that there is only one function named lo_create in the pg_catalog schema (and likewise only one lo_open, etc). While we should certainly make libpq more robust about this, the naive query will remain in use in the field for the foreseeable future, so it seems the only workable choice is to use a different name for the new function. lo_from_bytea() won a small straw poll. Back-patch into 9.4 where the new function was introduced.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

2012-11-27Add OpenTransientFile, with automatic cleanup at end-of-xact.Heikki Linnakangas
Files opened with BasicOpenFile or PathNameOpenFile are not automatically cleaned up on error. That puts unnecessary burden on callers that only want to keep the file open for a short time. There is AllocateFile, but that returns a buffered FILE * stream, which in many cases is not the nicest API to work with. So add function called OpenTransientFile, which returns a unbuffered fd that's cleaned up like the FILE* returned by AllocateFile(). This plugs a few rare fd leaks in error cases: 1. copy_file() - fixed by by using OpenTransientFile instead of BasicOpenFile 2. XLogFileInit() - fixed by adding close() calls to the error cases. Can't use OpenTransientFile here because the fd is supposed to persist over transaction boundaries. 3. lo_import/lo_export - fixed by using OpenTransientFile instead of PathNameOpenFile. In addition to plugging those leaks, this replaces many BasicOpenFile() calls with OpenTransientFile() that were not leaking, because the code meticulously closed the file on error. That wasn't strictly necessary, but IMHO it's good for robustness. The same leaks exist in older versions, but given the rarity of the issues, I'm not backpatching this. Not yet, anyway - it might be good to backpatch later, after this mechanism has had some more testing in master branch.
2012-10-09Remove unnecessary overhead in backend's large-object operations.Tom Lane
Do read/write permissions checks at most once per large object descriptor, not once per lo_read or lo_write call as before. The repeated tests were quite useless in the read case since the snapshot-based tests were guaranteed to produce the same answer every time. In the write case, the extra tests could in principle detect revocation of write privileges after a series of writes has started --- but there's a race condition there anyway, since we'd check privileges before performing and certainly before committing the write. So there's no real advantage to checking every single time, and we might as well redefine it as "only check the first time". On the same reasoning, remove the LargeObjectExists checks in inv_write and inv_truncate. We already checked existence when the descriptor was opened, and checking again doesn't provide any real increment of safety that would justify the cost.
2012-10-08Code review for 64-bit-large-object patch.Tom Lane
Fix broken-on-bigendian-machines byte-swapping functions, add missed update of alternate regression expected file, improve error reporting, remove some unnecessary code, sync testlo64.c with current testlo.c (it seems to have been cloned from a very old copy of that), assorted cosmetic improvements.
2012-10-06Add API for 64-bit large object access. Now users can access up toTatsuo Ishii
4TB large objects (standard 8KB BLCKSZ case). For this purpose new libpq API lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. Also corresponding new backend functions lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. inv_api.c is changed to handle 64-bit offsets. Patch contributed by Nozomi Anzai (backend side) and Yugo Nagata (frontend side, docs, regression tests and example program). Reviewed by Kohei Kaigai. Committed by Tatsuo Ishii with minor editings.

2010-12-10Use symbolic names not octal constants for file permission flags.Tom Lane
Purely cosmetic patch to make our coding standards more consistent --- we were doing symbolic some places and octal other places. This patch fixes all C-coded uses of mkdir, chmod, and umask. There might be some other calls I missed. Inconsistency noted while researching tablespace directory permissions issue.

2008-03-25Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane

2007-02-27Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane

2006-09-07Specify lo_write() to take a _const_ buffer, to match documentation.Bruce Momjian
2006-04-26Revise large-object access routines to avoid running with CurrentMemoryContextTom Lane
set to the large object context ("fscxt"), as this is inevitably a source of transaction-duration memory leaks. Not sure why we'd not noticed it before; maybe people weren't touching a whole lot of LOs in the same transaction before the 8.1 pg_dump changes. Per report from Wayne Conrad. Backpatched as far as 8.1, but the problem doubtless goes all the way back. I'm disinclined to spend the time to try to verify that the older branches would still work if patched, seeing that this code was significantly modified for 8.0 and again for 8.1, and that we don't have any trouble reports before 8.1. (Maybe the leaks were smaller before?)

2005-10-15Standard pgindent run for 8.1.Bruce Momjian
2005-06-13Adjust lo_open() so that specifying INV_READ without INV_WRITE createsTom Lane
a descriptor that uses the current transaction snapshot, rather than SnapshotNow as it did before (and still does if INV_WRITE is set). This means pg_dump will now dump a consistent snapshot of large object contents, as it never could do before. Also, add a lo_create() function that is similar to lo_creat() but allows the desired OID of the large object to be specified. This will simplify pg_restore considerably (but I'll fix that in a separate commit).

2004-09-16Restructure subtransaction handling to reduce resource consumption,Tom Lane
as per recent discussions. Invent SubTransactionIds that are managed like CommandIds (ie, counter is reset at start of each top transaction), and use these instead of TransactionIds to keep track of subtransaction status in those modules that need it. This means that a subtransaction does not need an XID unless it actually inserts/modifies rows in the database. Accordingly, don't assign it an XID nor take a lock on the XID until it tries to do that. This saves a lot of overhead for subtransactions that are only used for error recovery (eg plpgsql exceptions). Also, arrange to release a subtransaction's XID lock as soon as the subtransaction exits, in both the commit and abort cases. This avoids holding many unique locks after a long series of subtransactions. The price is some additional overhead in XactLockTableWait, but that seems acceptable. Finally, restructure the state machine in xact.c to have a more orthogonal set of states for subtransactions.
2004-09-11Ensure that pg_largeobject references opened by lo_import() or lo_export()Tom Lane
will be cleaned up at end of transaction, even when there is no other LO operation in the transaction. Per bug report from Daniel Schuchardt.

2004-07-28Fix subtransaction behavior for large objects, temp namespace, files,Tom Lane
password/group files. Also allow read-only subtransactions of a read-write parent, but not vice versa. These are the reasonably noncontroversial parts of Alvaro's recent mop-up patch, plus further work on large objects to minimize use of the TopTransactionResourceOwner.
2004-02-10Restructure smgr API as per recent proposal. smgr no longer depends onTom Lane
the relcache, and so the notion of 'blind write' is gone. This should improve efficiency in bgwriter and background checkpoint processes. Internal restructuring in md.c to remove the not-very-useful array of MdfdVec objects --- might as well just use pointers. Also remove the long-dead 'persistent main memory' storage manager (mm.c), since it seems quite unlikely to ever get resurrected.

2002-08-25Clean up comments to be careful about the distinction between variable-Tom Lane
width types and varlena types, since with the introduction of CSTRING as a more-or-less-real type, these concepts aren't identical. I've tried to use varlena consistently to denote datatypes with typlen = -1, ie, they have a length word and are potentially TOASTable; while the term variable width covers both varlena and cstring (and, perhaps, someday other types with other rules for computing the actual width). No code changes in this commit except for renaming a couple macros.

2002-03-06Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
