way one creates a database system.  Parts that were in "make install"
are not either in "make all" or initdb.  Nothing goes in the PGDATA

The problem is that the function arguments are not considered as possible key
candidates for index scan and so only a sequential scan is possible inside
the body of a function.  I have therefore made some patches to the optimizer
so that indices are now used also by functions.  I have also moved the plan
debug message from pg_eval to pg_plan so that it is printed also for plans
genereated for function execution.  I had also to add an index rescan to the
executor because it ignored the parameters set in the execution state, they
were flagged as runtime variables in ExecInitIndexScan but then never used
by the executor so that the scan were always done with any key=1. Very odd.
This means that an index rescan is now done twice for each function execution
which uses an index, the first time when the index scan is initialized and
the second when the actual function arguments are finally available for the
execution.  I don't know what is the cost of an double index scan but I
suppose it is anyway less than the cost of a full sequential scan, at leat
for large tables. This is my patch, you must also add -DINDEXSCAN_PATCH in

Marc G. Fournier [Sat, 24 Aug 1996 20:56:16 +0000 (20:56 +0000)]
This patch for Versions 1 and 2 corrects the following bug:

In a catalog class that has a "name" type attribute, UPDATEing of an
instance of that class may destroy all of the attributes of that
instance that are stored as or after the "name" attribute.

This is caused by the alignment value of the "name" type being set to
"double" in Class pg_type, but "integer" in Class pg_attribute.
Postgres constructs a tuple using double alignment, but interprets it
using integer alignment.

The fix is to change the alignment to integer in pg_type.

Note that this corrects the problem for new Postgres systems.  Existing
databases already contain the error and it can't easily be repaired because
this very bug prevents updating the class that contains it.

Marc G. Fournier [Wed, 21 Aug 1996 04:25:49 +0000 (04:25 +0000)]
Here's a patch for Versions 1 and 2 that fixes the following bug:

When you try to do any UPDATE of the catalog class pg_class, such as
to change ownership of a class, the backend crashes.

This is really two serial bugs: 1) there is a hardcoded copy of the
schema of pg_class in the postgres program, and it doesn't match the
actual class that initdb creates in the database; 2) Parts of postgres
determine whether to pass an attribute value by value or by reference
based on the attbyval attribute of the attribute in class
pg_attribute.  Other parts of postgres have it hardcoded.  For the
relacl[] attribute in class pg_class, attbyval does not match the
hardcoded expectation.

The fix is to correct the hardcoded schema for pg_attribute and to
change the fetchatt macro so it ignores attbyval for all variable
length attributes.  The fix also adds a bunch of logic documentation and
extends genbki.sh so it allows source files to contain such documentation.

This patch can be installed as part of 1.02.1 so people can properly
pg_dump and load to 2.0.  I haven't gotten any feedback on whether
people want it, so I am submitting it for others to decide.  I would
recommend an install in 1.02.1.

I had said that the 2.0 pg_dump could dump a 1.02.1 database, but I was
wrong.  The copy is actually performed by the backend, and the 2.0
database will not be able to read 1.02.1 databases because of the new
system columns.

This patch does several things.  It copies nulls out as \N, so they can
be distinguished from '' strings.  It fixes a problem where backslashes
in the input stream were not output as double-backslashes.  Without this
patch, backslashes copied out were deleted upon input, or interpreted as
special characters.  Third, input is now terminated by backslash-period.
This can not be part of a normal input stream.

I tested this by creating a database with all sorts of nulls, backslash,
and period fields and dumped the database and reloaded into a new
database and compared them.
