Hello Tatsuo Ishii San,

Today when I tried to build the latest code on my windows m/c, I got few errors 
from the checkin of this patch.

lo_hton64 (due to -- unint32_t)
 .\src\interfaces\libpq\fe-lobj.c(1049) : error C2065: 'uint32_t' : undeclared 
identifier
inv_seek (due to   -- MAX_LARGE_OBJECT_SIZE)
\src\backend\storage\large_object\inv_api.c(389) : error C2065: 'LOBLKSIZELL' : 
undeclared identifier
inv_read ((due to   -- MAX_LARGE_OBJECT_SIZE))
\src\backend\storage\large_object\inv_api.c(441) : error C2065: 'LOBLKSIZELL' : 
undeclared identifier


It may be some settings problem of my m/c if it is okay on some other windows 
m/c. 


With Regards,
Amit Kapila.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply.

Does that mean that using (some) global storage is the cause of the problem?

That sounds like an FDW bug ... which FDW are we talking about?

The FDW should certainly not assume that only one scan can happen at a
time.  I would not think this would be a problem as long as you're using
reasonable coding techniques, like keeping scan-local state in
scan-local storage and not globally.

> Any hints on how I can detect this condition please?

If you are imagining that you'd do something differently depending on
whether the current query contains multiple ForeignScan nodes for your
FDW, that's still doomed to lose, because of nested queries.  You really
need to manage storage in a way that doesn't make assumptions of this
sort.

I looked through the diffs between the 2005m Olson time zone files
(which is what we were using at the time the tznames files were created)
and current.  There are several issues that we need to deal with,
I think.

The biggest issue is that all of Russia has apparently (1) abandoned
daylight-savings time changes, and (2) settled on new "standard time"
zones that match up with their old DST times!  For example we've got

Thus for example "MSK" apparently now means GMT+4 not GMT+3.  We can
change the tznames entry for that, but should we get rid of "MSD"
entirely?  Some input from the Russians on this list would be helpful.

* The FET changes you noted, which seem to be related to the whole
Russian change.

I tried out a few things, and then realized that perhaps just adding
PGC_S_SESSION to the list of sources that are at elevel WARNING
partially fixes this.

This doesn't fix the issue with log_statement_stats, but it makes the
behavior of temp_buffers  the documented behavior (no longer errors
out in a transaction), while still warning the user.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the extensive reply.

The issue I am trying to resolve is that if two scans are taking place
on the same backend(due to the same query),then,the server is
crashing.

e.g. foreign_table is a foreign table

SELECT * FROM foreign_table UNION SELECT * FROM foreign_table; results
in a crash of the server.

I think it is because I am not saving the state of the scan,so,if
multiple scans a re running on the same backend,then,it is causing the
crash.

Any hints on how I can detect this condition please?

Atri

Well, if you search the plan tree and find more than one ForeignScan
node, it means there's more than one foreign scan.  It doesn't seem to
me to be very complicated.  Now, if you're wondering whether they
reference the same server or not, that's a bit harder.  I guess you
could look at the RTEs, fetch the foreign-table data for each FT
relation OID, and see if the same server is referenced.

Exactly.

We've done quite a lot of work tightening the ways that badly encoded

whack-a-mole. There aren't any easy answers.

Hi Tom,

I am trying to identify the situation where a query has multiple
foreign scans.In that case,I need to check whether the current scan is
the same as a previous scan or not.If not,then I think it means that
multiple scans are in progress on the same backend.

Thanks for your reviewing, and sorry for my late response.

I definitely agree with your solution. The reason why my original patch
had separate code path for function and collation was they took
additional elements (such as argument-list of function) to check
duplicate names. So, I think it is a wise idea to invoke the common
code after name duplication checks.

[HACKERS] Regarding identifying a foreign scan

2012-10-06 Thread Atri Sharma
Hi,

I am trying to identify foreign scans uniquely.I am trying to do that
by struct ForeignScanState,but I am confused as to how I can identify
the scan.

Is there a member of ForeignScanState that can be used for this purpose?

I agree that this is a bug in oracle_fdw (well, potentially; ultimately, it’s 
Oracle that’s lying about the encoding of those text values). But I think that 
it would be much more useful overall -- not to mention more database-like -- 
for PostgreSQL to provide a way to enforce it. That is, to consider foreign

displaying them.

What the README file actually suggests is that periodically we should
re-evaluate the set of default abbreviations.  I'm not that thrilled
with making one-off changes on a first-to-complain basis.

I have no particular objection to adding FET, since it doesn't seem to
have any conflicts with other zone abbreviations; but we're really way
overdue for another global look at the abbreviation lists.

Offering that option to the admin sounds like a good thing, since

and the drop started.

Please find the readings of LZ patch along with Xlog-Scale patch. 
The comparison is between for Update operations
base code + Xlog Scale Patch
base code + Xlog Scale Patch + Update WAL Optimization (LZ compression)

The readings have been taken based on below data.
pgbench_xlog_scale_50 -
a. Updated Record size 50, Total Record size 1800
b. Threads 8, 1 ,2 
c. Synchronous_commit - off, on

pgbench_xlog_scale_250 - 
a. Updated Record size 250, Total Record size 1800
b. Threads 8, 1 ,2 
c. Synchronous_commit - off, on

pgbench_xlog_scale_500- 
a. Updated Record size 500, Total Record size 1800
b. Threads 8, 1 ,2 
c. Synchronous_commit - off, on 

Observations
--
a. There is still a good performance improvement even if we do Update WAL 
optimization on top of Xlog Sclaing Patch.
b. There is a slight performance dip for 1 thread (only in Sync mode = off) 
with Update WAL optimization (LZ compression) 
but for 2 threads there is a performance increase.

Please take a second look at the diffs, they do *NOT* change the files
in the timezone database, they change the Default set ot timezones that
PostgreSQL uses.

These files are maintained by PostgreSQL, there is even a README with an
explicit mention that changes should be reported to pgsql-hackers

I'm back on this issue. I've tested the PQcancel approach, but blocks
as well on send()/recv(), and given the constraint resources it is
bound to use (to be called from a signal handler) I assume there is no
workaround for it.

The PQreset approach has the shortcoming of discarding the session
configuration that somebody may have created in Pythonland: a state
with a connection made but not configured would be something a client
program is probably not prepared to handle.

I think a plain disconnection would be much easier to handle for
long-running python program: a long-running one should probably
already cope with a broken connection, a short-lived one would benefit
of working SIGINT.

If you have other suggestions I'd be glad to know, thank you.

Re: [HACKERS] Add FET to Default and Europe.txt

2012-10-06 Thread Bruce Momjian

The Postgres community does not maintain the timezone database;  we ship
copies of the IANA timezone database;  you will have to request the
changes from them:

Re: [HACKERS] Bad Data back Door

I'd like to see some encoding validation and substitution functions in

it would just validate.


See pg_any_to_server() in mbutils.c. At the SQL level, there's the 
convert(bytea, name, name) function.



a 2nd function would do the same, but replace
errors with the substitution character in the target charset and not error.


Hmm, I don't think we have that.

[HACKERS] Add the FET timetone abbreviation

2012-10-06 Thread Marc Balmer
FET stands for Further-eastern European Time and is the official time in
e.g. Belarus (Europe/Minsk).

The attched patch adds FET to the list of Default timezone abbreviations.
