Yesterday's Activity
- Add configure probe for rl_completion_suppress_quote
Tom Lane: I had supposed that all versions of Readline that have filename quoting hooks also have the rl_completion_suppress_quote variable. - Fix an oversight in commit 4c70098ff
Tom Lane: I had supposed that the from_char_seq_search() call sites were all passing the constant arrays you'd expect them to pass ... - Clean up formatting.c's logic for matching constant strings
Tom Lane: seq_search(), which is used to match input substrings to constants such as month and day names, had a lot of bizarre and unnecessary behaviors. - Improve psql's tab completion for filenames
Tom Lane: The Readline library contains a fair amount of knowledge about how to tab-complete filenames, but it turns out that that doesn't work too well unless we follow its expectation that we use its filename quoting hooks to quote and de-quote filenames.
Other Activity This Week
- Add GUC ignore_invalid_pages
Fujii Masao: Detection of WAL records having references to invalid pages during recovery causes PostgreSQL to raise a PANIC-level error, aborting the recovery. - Fix concurrent indexing operations with temporary tables
Michael Paquier: Attempting to use CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX or REINDEX with CONCURRENTLY on a temporary relation with ON COMMIT actions triggered unexpected errors because those operations use multiple transactions internally to complete their work. - Add GUC variables for stat tracking and timeout as PGDLLIMPORT
Michael Paquier: This helps integration of extensions with Windows. - Allow vacuum command to process indexes in parallel
Amit Kapila: This feature allows the vacuum to leverage multiple CPUs in order to process indexes. - Remove separate files for the initial contents of pg_(sh)description
Heikki Linnakangas: This data was only in separate files because it was the most convenient way to handle it with a shell script.
PostgreSQL Release Tags
- nbtree: BTREE_[MIN|NOVAC]_VERSION comment tweaks
Peter Geoghegan: Author: Peter Geoghegan - Automate the maintenance of SO_MINOR_VERSION for our shared libraries
Tom Lane: Up to now we've manually adjusted these numbers in several different Makefiles at the start of each development cycle. - Advance PG_CONTROL_VERSION.
Tom Lane: This should have been done in commit 73c986adde5d73a5 which added several new fields to pg_control, and again in commit 5028f22f6eb05798 which changed the CRC algorithm, but it wasn't. - Tab complete CREATE EXTENSION .. VERSION.
Robert Haas: Jeff Janes - Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION for previous 9.4 changes
Tom Lane: This should have been done in 6bc8ef0b7f1f1df3998745a66e1790e27424aa0c and/or 50e547096c4858a68abf09894667a542cc418315, but better late than never.
Most Popular In The Past Month
- doc: add examples of creative use of unique expression indexes
Bruce Momjian: Unique expression indexes can constrain data in creative ways, so show two examples. - Add xl_btree_delete optimization
Peter Geoghegan: Commit 558a9165e08 taught _bt_delitems_delete() to produce its own XID horizon on the primary. - Add an ugly workaround for a bug in some recent libedit versions
Tom Lane: Debian unstable is shipping a broken version of libedit: it de-escapes words before passing them to the application's tab completion function, preventing us from recognizing backslash commands. - Make parser rely more heavily on the ParseNamespaceItem data structure
Tom Lane: When I added the ParseNamespaceItem data structure (in commit 5ebaaa494), it wasn't very tightly integrated into the parser's APIs. - Remove support for OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.0
Michael Paquier: Support is out of scope from all the major vendors for these versions (for example RHEL5 uses a version based on 0.9.8, and RHEL6 uses 1.0.1), and it created some extra maintenance work. - nbtree: BTREE_[MIN|NOVAC]_VERSION comment tweaks
Peter Geoghegan: Author: Peter Geoghegan - Add pg_shmem_allocations view
Robert Haas: This tells you about allocations that have been made from the main shared memory segment. - Reconsider the representation of join alias Vars
Tom Lane: The core idea of this patch is to make the parser generate join alias Vars (that is, ones with varno pointing to a JOIN RTE) only when the alias Var is actually different from any raw join input, that is a type coercion and/or COALESCE is necessary to generate the join output value. - Add support for automatically updating Unicode derived files
Peter Eisentraut: We currently have several sets of files generated from data provided by Unicode. - Fix handling of generated columns in ALTER TABLE.
Tom Lane: ALTER TABLE failed if a column referenced in a GENERATED expression had been added or changed in type earlier in the ALTER command.
