2009-01-01Update copyright for 2009.Bruce Momjian
2008-06-19Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera
corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.
2008-05-12Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.

2007-04-09Minor tweaking of index special-space definitions so that the variousTom Lane
index types can be reliably distinguished by examining the special space on an index page. Per my earlier proposal, plus the realization that there's no need for btree's vacuum cycle ID to cycle through every possible 16-bit value. Restricting its range a little costs nearly nothing and eliminates the possibility of collisions. Memo to self: remember to make bitmap indexes play along with this scheme, assuming that patch ever gets accepted.

2006-10-04pgindent run for 8.2.Bruce Momjian
2006-09-10Rename contains/contained-by operators to @> and <@, per discussion thatTom Lane
agreed these symbols are less easily confused. I made new pg_operator entries (with new OIDs) for the old names, so as to provide backward compatibility while making it pretty easy to remove the old names in some future release cycle. This commit only touches the core datatypes, contrib will be fixed separately.
2006-06-28ChangesTeodor Sigaev
* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php) * possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns * add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC - pickSplit should check its values to use already defined spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum. * support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal but correct split * remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of value is defined by it's type. * split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit and second - for internal use. * some code refactoring * support of subsplit to rtree opclasses TODO: add support of subsplit to contrib modules

2005-06-30Bug fixes for GiST crash recovery.Teodor Sigaev
- add forgotten check of lsn for insert completion - remove level of pages: hard to check in recovery - some cleanups
2005-06-27Concurrency for GiSTTeodor Sigaev
- full concurrency for insert/update/select/vacuum: - select and vacuum never locks more than one page simultaneously - select (gettuple) hasn't any lock across it's calls - insert never locks more than two page simultaneously: - during search of leaf to insert it locks only one page simultaneously - while walk upward to the root it locked only parent (may be non-direct parent) and child. One of them X-lock, another may be S- or X-lock - 'vacuum full' locks index - improve gistgetmulti - simplify XLOG records Fix bug in index_beginscan_internal: LockRelation may clean rd_aminfo structure, so move GET_REL_PROCEDURE after LockRelation
2005-06-201. full functional WAL for GiSTTeodor Sigaev
2. improve vacuum for gist - use FSM - full vacuum: - reforms parent tuple if it's needed ( tuples was deleted on child page or parent tuple remains invalid after crash recovery ) - truncate index file if possible 3. fixes bugs and mistakes
2005-05-17Cleanup GiST header files. Since GiST extensions are often written asNeil Conway
external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions. Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(), and GISTNStrategies.
2005-05-17GiST improvements:Neil Conway
- make sure we always invoke user-supplied GiST methods in a short-lived memory context. This means the backend isn't exposed to any memory leaks that be in those methods (in fact, it is probably a net loss for most GiST methods to bother manually freeing memory now). This also means we can do away with a lot of ugly manual memory management in the GiST code itself. - keep the current page of a GiST index scan pinned, rather than doing a ReadBuffer() for each tuple produced by the scan. Since ReadBuffer() is expensive, this is a perf. win - implement dead tuple killing for GiST indexes (which is easy to do, now that we keep a pin on the current scan page). Now all the builtin indexes implement dead tuple killing. - cleanup a lot of ugly code in GiST
2005-03-27First steps towards index scans with heap access decoupled from indexTom Lane
access: define new index access method functions 'amgetmulti' that can fetch multiple TIDs per call. (The functions exist but are totally untested as yet.) Since I was modifying pg_am anyway, remove the no-longer-needed 'rel' parameter from amcostestimate functions, and also remove the vestigial amowner column that was creating useless work for Alvaro's shared-object-dependencies project. Initdb forced due to changes in pg_am.

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...

2003-11-09Add operator strategy and comparison-value datatype fields to ScanKey.Tom Lane
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the first place is simpler and faster. This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize() API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those changes before the tree drifts under me.

2001-08-22Update GiST for new pg_opclass arrangement (finally a clean solutionTom Lane
for haskeytype). Update GiST contrib modules too. Add linear-time split algorithm for R-tree GiST opclass. From Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev.
2001-08-21Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions inTom Lane
pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent. pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands. Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass. Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's IndexScanOK. Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane. initdb forced.
2001-08-101. null-safe interface to GiSTBruce Momjian
(as proposed in http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=1028327) 2. support for 'pass-by-value' arguments - to test this we used special opclass for int4 with values in range [0-2^15] More testing will be done after resolving problem with index_formtuple and implementation of B-tree using GiST 3. small patch to contrib modules (seg,cube,rtree_gist,intarray) - mark functions as 'isstrict' where needed. Oleg Bartunov
2001-07-15Restructure index AM interface for index building and index tuple deletion,Tom Lane
per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet, but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns. Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this, gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with the performance problems we've heard about occasionally). Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long ago for btree, but missed the other guys. Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.
2001-05-31Updates to make GIST work with multi-key indexes (from Oleg BartunovTom Lane
and Teodor Sigaev). Declare key values as Datum where appropriate, rather than char* (Tom Lane).
2001-05-30Tweak StrategyEvaluation data structure to eliminate hardwired limit onTom Lane
number of strategies supported by an index AM. Add missing copyright notices and CVS $Header$ markers to GIST source files.

2000-07-14Cleanup of code for creating index entries. Functional indexes withTom Lane
pass-by-ref data types --- eg, an index on lower(textfield) --- no longer leak memory during index creation or update. Clean up a lot of redundant code ... did you know that copy, vacuum, truncate, reindex, extend index, and bootstrap each basically duplicated the main executor's logic for extracting information about an index and preparing index entries? Functional indexes should be a little faster now too, due to removal of repeated function lookups. CREATE INDEX 'opt_type' clause is deimplemented by these changes, but I haven't removed it from the parser yet (need to merge with Thomas' latest change set first).
2000-06-13Another batch of fmgr updates. I think I have gotten all old-styleTom Lane
functions that take pass-by-value datatypes. Should be ready for port testing ...

1998-01-15Thank god for searchable mail archives.PostgreSQL Daemon
Patch by: [email protected] (Jan Wieck) One of the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should not only be a builtin PL. Instead I would prefer a defined interface for PL implemetations.
