Good point :-(

I think the problem is not only that it specifically does not deal with
PGC_INTERNAL variables. The problem is in the fact that
write_nondefault_variables is called *before* the locale is read
(because the locale is read from pg_control and not from any of the
"usual" ways to read it).

Attached patch is another stab at fixing it. It makes postmaster dump a
new copy of the file once it has started the database (before it accepts
any connections), which is when it will know about these parameters.
Also updates the reading code to set the context to the one where the
variable was originally set (PGC_POSTMASTER won't work for PGC_INTERNAL,
and the other way around).

We still pass lc_collate through the special file, because
set_config_option on lc_collate will speficially *not* call setlocale(),
and we need that call. But we no longer call set_config_option from
there.

Tom Lane [Fri, 11 Jun 2004 01:09:22 +0000 (01:09 +0000)]
When using extended-query protocol, postpone planning of unnamed statements

don't fold them into the actual plan).  This buys back most of the
potential loss of plan quality that ensues from using out-of-line
parameters instead of putting literal values right into the query text.

This patch creates a notion of constant-folding expressions 'for
estimation purposes only', in which case we can be more aggressive than
the normal eval_const_expressions() logic can be.  Right now the only
difference in behavior is inserting bound values for Params, but it will
be interesting to look at other possibilities.  One that we've seen
come up repeatedly is reducing now() and related functions to current
values, so that queries like ... WHERE timestampcol > now() - '1 day'

20 years agoMake the world very nearly safe for composite-type columns in tables.
Tom Lane [Sat, 5 Jun 2004 01:55:05 +0000 (01:55 +0000)]
Make the world very nearly safe for composite-type columns in tables.
1. Solve the problem of not having TOAST references hiding inside composite
values by establishing the rule that toasting only goes one level deep:
a tuple can contain toasted fields, but a composite-type datum that is
to be inserted into a tuple cannot.  Enforcing this in heap_formtuple
is relatively cheap and it avoids a large increase in the cost of running
the tuptoaster during final storage of a row.
2. Fix some interesting problems in expansion of inherited queries that
reference whole-row variables.  We never really did this correctly before,
but it's now relatively painless to solve by expanding the parent's
whole-row Var into a RowExpr() selecting the proper columns from the
child.
If you dike out the preventive check in CheckAttributeType(),
composite-type columns now seem to actually work.  However, we surely
cannot ship them like this --- without I/O for composite types, you
can't get pg_dump to dump tables containing them.  So a little more
work still to do.

20 years agoResurrect heap_deformtuple(), this time implemented as a singly nested
Tom Lane [Fri, 4 Jun 2004 20:35:21 +0000 (20:35 +0000)]
Resurrect heap_deformtuple(), this time implemented as a singly nested
loop over the fields instead of a loop around heap_getattr.  This is
considerably faster (O(N) instead of O(N^2)) when there are nulls or
varlena fields, since those prevent use of attcacheoff.  Replace loops
over heap_getattr with heap_deformtuple in situations where all or most
of the fields have to be fetched, such as printtup and tuptoaster.
Profiling done more than a year ago shows that this should be a nice
win for situations involving many-column tables.

Adjust our timezone library to use pg_time_t (typedef'd as int64) in

is most, we are rid of the bizarre boundary behavior at the edges of
the 32-bit-time_t range (1901 and 2038).  The system will now treat
times over the full supported timestamp range as being in your local
time zone.  It may seem a little bizarre to consider that times in
4000 BC are PST or EST, but this is surely at least as reasonable as
propagating Gregorian calendar rules back that far.

it's not a simple decision like 'widen to 64 bits'; we have to actually
