== Angewandte Patches ==

Heikki Linnakangas pushed:

- Before exiting walreceiver, fsync() all the WAL received.  Otherwise
   WAL recovery will replay the un-flushed WAL after walreceiver has
   exited, which can lead to a non-recoverable standby if the system
   crashes hard at that point.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=34ef02b4d4c06e2bae6ad09cfd6d9c097eb...

- Set fallback_application_name in walreceiver.  Makes replication
   slaves identify themselves in the new pg_stat_replication view.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=48075095ac3ce1aaa63624ea0148dbe5bcb...

- Fix thinko in comment. Spotted by Jim Nasby.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1dc45c11d8e63df34044ea73e643f5fa9d...

- Don't require usage privileges on the foreign data wrapper when
   creating a foreign table. We check for usage privileges on the
   foreign server, that ought to be enough.  Shigeru HANADA.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8aea1373d8f88bf389def1af10d06f1e67e...

- Add 'directory' format to pg_dump. The new directory format is
   compatible with the 'tar' format, in that untarring a tar format
   archive produces a valid directory format archive.  Joachim Wieland
   and Heikki Linnakangas

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f508f1c6b515df66d27f860b2faa7b5761...

- Silence compiler warning about uninitialized variable, noted by
   Itagaki Takahiro.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=56d77c9e56adbd856beba00af3dc607687d...

Bruce Momjian pushed:

- Add getopt() support to test_fsync;  also fix printf() format
   problem.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=08af45f4ff89ff5bee25c7d5bf496e987eb...

- In the docs, better distinguish server from client SSL settings in
   the documentation.  Ray Stell.  Also fix some libpq title
   capitalization problems.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=74bcdfbe2dd656f04db4e883b5bdcdafdde...

- github test.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2c38cce1be4f57e353805e529e6d993c9c2...

- Remove "github test" that somehow got into my tree.  Sorry.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4acfd43a7d6194fa735a6b7b06a15549091...

- In test_fsync, adjust test headings to match wal_sync_method values;
   add more test cases for open_sync of different sizes.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8995440e387846261d18e728f11adc528cc...

- Move test_fsync to /contrib.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=606a3d54fcd053c31e52886f4c69848a687...

- Update C banner on new pg_test_fsync file.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b35bfcae937810f43fdf2327bcea2e8a03c...

- Update SGML docs to point to new /contrib/pg_test_fsync.

Alvaro Herrera pushed:

- Increment Py_None refcount for NULL array elements.  Per bug #5835
   by Julien Demoor Author: Alex Hunsaker

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=978445bece6ce3df55599ee971a4a5dc217...

Tom Lane pushed:

- Fix miscalculation of itemsafter in array_set_slice().  If the slice
   to be assigned to was before the existing array lower bound
   (requiring at least one null element to spring into existence to
   fill the gap), the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be
   copied from the old array's null bitmap.  This could result in
   trashing the array's data area (as seen in bug #5840 from Karsten
   Loesing), or worse.  This has been broken since we first allowed the
   behavior of assigning to non-adjacent slices, in 8.2.  Back-patch to
   all affected versions.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdd8ed973da9ab48aba2292b01f71d2f996...

- Avoid detoast in texteq/textne/byteaeq/byteane for unequal-length
   strings.  We can get the length of a compressed or out-of-line datum
   without actually detoasting it.  If the lengths of two strings are
   unequal, we can then conclude they are unequal without detoasting.
   That saves considerable work in an admittedly less-common case,
   without costing anything much when the optimization doesn't apply.
   Noah Misch.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=1b393f4e5db4fd6bbc86a4e88785b6945a1...

- Show correct datatype for pg_class.relpersistence, plus a typo fix.
   Thom Brown

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=357faea82e93712937cd109b48ce006789e...

- Fix pg_restore to do the right thing when escaping large objects.
   Specifically, this makes the workflow pg_dump -Fc -> pg_restore ->
   file produce correct output for BLOBs when the source database has
   standard_conforming_strings turned on.  It was already okay when
   that was off, or if pg_restore was told to restore directly into a
   database.  This is a back-port of commit
   b1732111f233bbb72788e92a627242ec28a85631 of 2009-08-04, with
   additional changes to emit old-style escaped bytea data instead of
   hex-style.  At the time, we had not heard of anyone encountering the
   problem in the field, so I judged it not worth the risk of changing
   back branches.  Now we do have a report, from Bosco Rama, so
   back-patch into 8.2 through 8.4.  9.0 and up are okay already.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2a1ef1011548e329f4eca86671401bf4124...

- Fix broken markup, also minor copy-editing.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0cf3db2175ec770097b9c44d9a8e1e8c281...

- Clean up pg_test_fsync commit.  Actually rename the program, rather
   than just claiming we did.  Hook it into the build system.  Get rid
   of useless dependency on libpq.  Clean up #include list and messy
   whitespace.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bc616703e8767d2a5d0312cdbf5dc3c6de2...

- More pg_test_fsync cleanup.  Un-break Windows build (I hope) by
   making the HAVE_FSYNC_WRITETHROUGH code match the backend.  Fix
   incorrect program help message.  static-ize all functions.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cb38ab6d3b89eccb75b3337f8723cfc283f...

- Suppress unused-variables warning when OPEN_SYNC_FLAG isn't defined.
   Per buildfarm.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=3ae28ce8c437811bba47c09d1212c2d3c41...

- More pg_test_fsync fixups.  Reduce #includes to minimum actually
   needed; in particular include postgres_fe.h not postgres.h, so as to
   stop build failures on some platforms.  Use get_progname() instead
   of hardwired program name; improve error checking for command line
   syntax; bring error messages into line with style guidelines;
   include strerror result in die() cases.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=37eb2cd4ad4c3323f1c7ed1c893c9d645fb...

- Suppress possibly-uninitialized-variable warnings from gcc 4.5.  It
   appears that gcc 4.5 can issue such warnings for whole structs, not
   just scalar variables as in the past.  Refactor some pg_dump code
   slightly so that the OutputContext local variables are always
   initialized, even if they won't be used.  It's cheap enough to not
   be worth worrying about.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=e2627258c3cc43b8b00c5c29c35933a3325...

- Suppress "control reaches end of non-void function" warning from gcc
   4.5.  Not sure why I'm seeing this on Fedora 14 and not earlier
   versions.  Seems like a regression that gcc no longer knows that
   DIE() doesn't return.  Still, adding a dummy return is harmless
   enough.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=518b1e96c02ba0fa52227c528d6e951004d...

- Allow the wal_buffers setting to be auto-tuned to a reasonable
   value.  If wal_buffers is initially set to -1 (which is now the
   default), it's replaced by 1/32nd of shared_buffers, with a minimum
   of 8 (the old default) and a maximum of the XLOG segment size.  The
   allowed range for manual settings is still from 4 up to whatever
   will fit in shared memory.  Greg Smith, with implementation
   correction by me.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0f73aae13def660371c34c8feda6e684e63...

- Quick hack to un-break plpython regression tests.  It's not clear to
   me what should happen to the other plpython_unicode variant expected
   files, but this patch gets things passing on my own machines and at
   least some of the buildfarm.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cc73c160507588bdc5822d7f2bb79d6b3a3...

- Suppress uninitialized-variable warning.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b3cfcdaad27bea9bb86d6de6cbf8d184c16...

- Add .gitignore file to silence complaints about pg_basebackup.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=10e99f15d423b1730929af1992593c66499...

- Revert "Factor out functions responsible for caching I/O routines".
   This reverts commit 740e54ca84c437fd67524f97a3ea9ddea752e208, which
   seems to have tickled an optimization bug in gcc 4.5.x, as reported
   upstream at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671899 Since
   this patch had no purpose beyond code beautification, it's not worth
   expending a lot of effort to look for another workaround.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=de3c2d6e928b0f7fb2840914351b96fecce...

- Improve getObjectDescription's display of pg_amop and pg_amproc
   entries.  Include the lefttype/righttype columns explicitly (instead
   of assuming the reader can deduce them from the operator or function
   description), and move the operator or function description to the
   end of the string, to make it clearer that it's a referenced object
   and not the amop or amproc item itself.  Per extensive discussion of
   Andreas Karlsson's original patch.  Andreas Karlsson, Tom Lane

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=dd5f0db96ba68553e3ab2c1d9d117863a56...

- Fix another portability issue in pg_basebackup.  The target of
   sscanf with a %o format had better be of integer width, but "mode_t"
   conceivably isn't that.  Another compiler warning seen only on some
   platforms; this one I think is potentially a real bug and not just a
   warning.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=f36920796ec1335733493f7860d6f2f711c...

Peter Eisentraut pushed:

- Use HTABs instead of Python dictionary objects to cache procedures
   Two separate hash tables are used for regular procedures and for
   trigger procedures, since the way trigger procedures work is quite
   different from normal stored procedures.  Change the signatures of
   PLy_procedure_{get,create} to accept the function OID and a Boolean
   flag indicating whether it's a trigger.  This should make
   implementing a PL/Python validator easier.  Using HTABs instead of
   Python dictionaries makes error recovery easier, and allows for
   procedures to be cached based on their OIDs, not their names.  It
   also allows getting rid of the PyCObject field that used to hold a
   pointer to PLyProcedure, since PyCObjects are deprecated in Python
   2.7 and replaced by Capsules in Python 3.  Jan UrbaÅski

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=46211da1b84bc3537e799ee1126098e71c2...

- Skip dropped attributes when converting Python objects to tuples.
   Pay attention to the attisdropped field and skip over TupleDesc
   fields that have it set.  Not a real problem until we get table
   returning functions, but it's the right thing to do anyway.  Jan
   UrbaÅski.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=41282111e6cc73aca4b63dffe950ba7a63e...

- Free plan values in the PLyPlanObject dealloc function.  Jan
   UrbaÅski.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=847e8c7783e877bbdc6a89250ade7d264ee...

- Use palloc in TopMemoryContext instead of malloc.  As discussed,
   even if the PL needs a permanent memory location, it should use
   palloc, not malloc.  It also makes error handling easier.  Jan
   UrbaÅski.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=59ea9ef9aa216d0bc718539cd5622628943...

- Use PyObject_New instead of PyObject_NEW.  The latter is
   undocumented and the speed gain is negligible.  Jan UrbaÅski.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=d9a95c0adb11f7a3ca5aa9ab8a900018832...

- Improve message for errors in compiling anonymous PL/Python blocks
   The previous code would try to print out a null pointer.  Jan
   UrbaÅski.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=719461b7a28c04a84b0fb1e5faa9b3cb5ee...

- Fix an error when a set-returning function fails halfway through the
   execution.  If the function using yield to return rows fails
   halfway, the iterator stays open and subsequent calls to the
   function will resume reading from it.  The fix is to unref the
   iterator and set it to NULL if there has been an error.  Jan
   UrbaÅski.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=88047e59ba12479ef9adcaf3dee61b48566...

- Add braces around an if block, for readability.  Jan UrbaÅski,

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbed5d48307528c8b49ba48e741817e7514...

- Fix typo.  Hitoshi Harada

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=81f79dbf2e551978300ee85d42026e26f93...

- Factor out functions responsible for caching I/O routines.  This
   makes PLy_procedure_create a bit more manageable.  Jan UrbaÅski

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=740e54ca84c437fd67524f97a3ea9ddea75...

- Fix wrong comment.  Hitoshi Harada.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=14b9f69cb2077c65a09df78d167d45c35b1...

- Correctly add exceptions to the plpy module for Python 3.  The way
   the exception types where added to the module was wrong for Python
   3.  Exception classes were not actually available from plpy.  Fix
   that by factoring out code that is responsible for defining new
   Python exceptions and make it work with Python 3.  New regression
   test makes sure the plpy module has the expected contents.  Jan
   UrbanÅki, slightly revised by me.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4609caf3645ae975724af1f7f57f831e516...

- Get rid of the global variable holding the error state.  Global
   error handling led to confusion and was hard to manage.  With this
   change, errors from PostgreSQL are immediately reported to Python as
   exceptions.  This requires setting a Python exception after
   reporting the caught PostgreSQL error as a warning, because PLy_elog
   destroys the Python exception state.  Ideally, all places where
   PostgreSQL errors need to be reported back to Python should be
   wrapped in subtransactions, to make going back to Python from a
   longjmp safe.  This will be handled in a separate patch.  Jan
   UrbaÅski.

Magnus Hagander pushed:

- Log replication connections only when log_connections is on.
   Previously we'd always log replication connections, with no way to
   turn them off.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=6e1726d082b5a9c305ed44a69ff50bc3407...

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=f5a0fd2f3bbe233802cbbddfe8bdf086c69...

- Add pg_basebackup tool for streaming base backups.  This tool makes
   it possible to do the pg_start_backup/ copy files/pg_stop_backup
   step in a single command.  There are still some steps to be done
   before this is a complete backup solution, such as the ability to
   stream the required WAL logs, but it's still usable, and could do
   with some buildfarm coverage.  In passing, make the checkpoint
   request optionally fast instead of hardcoding it.  Magnus Hagander,
   reviewed by Fujii Masao and Dimitri Fontaine

- Make ALTER TABLE revalidate uniqueness and exclusion constraints.
   Failure to do so can lead to constraint violations.  This was broken
   by commit 1ddc2703a936d03953657f43345460b9242bbed1 on 2010-02-07, so
   back-patch to 9.0.  Noah Misch.  Regression test by me.

   Turner.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=d3b372e92d4efdd6f63da35996f04ff009c...

- Code cleanup for assign_XactIsoLevel.  The new coding avoids a
   spurious debug message when a transaction that has changed the
   isolation level has been rolled back.  It also allows the property
   to be freely changed to the current value within a subtransaction.
   Kevin Grittner, with one small change by me.

- Avoid treating WAL senders as normal backends.  The previous coding
   treated anything that wasn't an autovacuum launcher as a normal
   backend, which is wrong now that we also have WAL senders.  Fujii
   Masao, reviewed by Robert Haas, Alvaro Herrera, Tom Lane, and Bernd
   Helmle.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a0c75f55394fe904e09f7caee9a8195e3a0...

- Code cleanup for assign_transaction_read_only.  As in commit
   fb4c5d2798730f60b102d775f22fb53c26a6445d on 2011-01-21, this avoids
   spurious debug messages and allows idempotent changes at any time.
   Along the way, make assign_XactIsoLevel allow idempotent changes
   even when not within a subtransaction, to be consistent with the new
   coding of assign_transaction_read_only and because there's no
   compelling reason to do otherwise.  Kevin Grittner, with some
   adjustments.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=6f59777c65d557485e933a383ebc4c3fdfc...

- sepgsql, an SE-Linux integration for PostgreSQL.  This is still
   pretty rough - among other things, the documentation needs work, and
   the messages need a visit from the style police - but this gets the
   basic framework in place.  KaiGai Kohei.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=968bc6fac91d6aaca594488ab85c179b686...

- First round of cleanup of sepgsql code and documentation.  Robert
   Haas, with a few suggestions from Thom Brown.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=194c8f713aa62a528afa4ce4274b80aaff9...

- Blind attempt to exclude sepgsql from MSVC build system.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c26ac226e45fbf84cd63588498c00da9417...

- PGXS support for contrib/hstore.  Joey Adams

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=41611f16e933dafa9c3ae0477f89537ea14...

Andrew Dunstan pushed:

- Silence flex warnings about DOS file paths in MSVC builds.
