Those double negatives are confusing as hell. I propose to add something like this: do_tablespaces = true; do_databases = true; do_roles = true; if (globals_only) do_databases = false; if (tablespaces_only) { do_roles = false; do_databases = false; } if (roles_only) { do_databases = false; do_tablespaces = false; } Then we can have the new block this way: /* Dump role/database settings */ if (do_databases && do_roles) { if (server_version >= 80500) dumpDbRoleConfig(conn); } -- Alvaro Herrerahttp://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Inventing random unconnected > names is just craziness. Actually, to the extent that we have any convention at all, it's to use plurals for system view names (pg_tables, pg_views, etc) and singular for underlying catalogs (pg_index). The only exception to this on the catalog side is pg_auth_members, which is arguably misnamed. (pg_inherits is sort of an exception, but it's weird in a different way: its name is a verb not a noun.) The apparent exceptions on the view side (pg_group, pg_shadow, pg_user) are actually views that are backward compatible substitutes for former catalogs, so they are not really intentional exceptions. Now it's also the case that we've tended to use tech-speak names for catalogs (eg, pg_class, pg_namespace not pg_table, pg_schema) and so that gives us an additional degree of separation between those names and the more user-facing names chosen for views. What we seem to be lacking in this case is a good tech-speak option for the underlying catalog name. I'm still not happy with having a catalog and a view that are exactly the same except for "s", especially since as Alvaro notes that won't lead to desirable tab-completion behavior. OTOH, we have survived with pg_index vs pg_indexes, so maybe it wouldn't kill us. BTW, have we thought much about the simplest possible solution, which is to not have the view? How badly do we need it? Seems like dropping the functionality into a psql \d command might be a viable alternative. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

That seems to me to be just confusing the issue. Now the table name and the view name are just totally different with no obvious connection between them. We have enough nonsense of this type already (e.g. pg_stats vs. pg_statistic; pg_authid vs. pg_roles vs. pg_shadow). I think we need to settle on a system for handling problems of this type and document it in the fine manual or perhaps a README somewhere, and stick with it. Inventing random unconnected names is just craziness. Now, if you/others don't like my _view convention; that's fine. Just pick something else. Really, I don't believe the tab-completion thing is much of a problem, you just type underscore-tab and you're there. But I am 100% OK with whatever we pick, as long as it is something easy to remember that we have a chance of being able to apply consistently. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Well, you've hit there on one of the things that we don't always do well. Many a patch author has posted an idea, received no feedback, proceeded to implementation, and then the knives come out. On a good day, the CommitFest process ensures that every patch gets a second opinion, but it doesn't guarantee that a third opinion won't come crawling out of the woodwork at a later date. In this respect, you're actually operating at a slight advantage relative to most of us, because you can post your revised patch and commit it if no one objects too strongly, whereas I (for example) have to convince one of about two people - Tom or Peter, for nearly anything I'm likely to develop - to take an affirmative action on my behalf. This whole phenomenon of proposals to which no objection was made at the outset later getting flak for one reason or another is, I think, a source of much frustration and discourages people from putting effort into projects they might otherwise be willing to undertake. But I haven't the least idea how to fix it, and I can't offer you any guarantees with respect to the present situation either. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

It does not have the new command yet, so you can do ALTER USER and ALTER DATABASE and it works, but there's no way to set user-and-database-specific settings, short of INSERT into the catalog. Apart from that it works nicely. I'm just posting in case somebody has thoughts on the UI part of it. Other things that need fixed: - need to figure out locking for roles; this stuff must be synchronized with role drop - pg_shadow and pg_roles need a join to obtain settings - two regression tests need their expected file updated - catalog version bump -- Alvaro Herrerahttp://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support Index: doc/src/sgml/catalogs.sgml === RCS file: /home/alvherre/Code/cvs/pgsql/doc/src/sgml/catalogs.sgml,v retrieving revision 2.206 diff -c -p -r2.206 catalogs.sgml *** doc/src/sgml/catalogs.sgml 10 Aug 2009 22:13:50 - 2.206 --- doc/src/sgml/catalogs.sgml 26 Aug 2009 02:01:11 - *** *** 199,204 --- 199,209 + pg_setting + per-user and per-database settings + + + pg_shdepend dependencies on shared objects *** *** 2132,2144 - datconfig - text[] - - Session defaults for run-time configuration variables - - - datacl aclitem[] --- 2137,2142 *** *** 3996,4001 --- 3994,4058 + + pg_setting + + +pg_setting + + + +The catalog pg_setting records the default +values that have been set for run-time configuration variables, +for each role and database combination. + + + +Unlike most system catalogs, pg_setting +is shared across all databases of a cluster: there is only one +copy of pg_setting per cluster, not +one per database. + + + +pg_setting Columns + + + + + Name + Type + References + Description + + + + + + setdatabase + oid + pg_database.oid + The OID of the database the setting is applicable to, or zero if not database-specific + + + + setrole + oid + pg_authid.oid + The OID of the role the setting is applicable to, or zero if not role-specific + + + + setconfig + text[] + + Defaults for run-time configuration variables + + + + + + pg_shdepend *** *** 6448,6460 - rolconfig - text[] - - Session defaults for run-time configuration variables - - - oid oid pg_authid.oid --- 6505,6510 Index: src/backend/catalog/Makefile === RCS file: /home/alvherre/Code/cvs/pgsql/src/backend/catalog/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.70 diff -c -p -r1.70 Makefile *** src/backend/catalog/Makefile 12 May 2009 00:56:05 - 1.70 --- src/backend/catalog/Makefile 25 Aug 2009 19:15:03 - *** include $(top_builddir)/src/Makefile.glo *** 13,19 OBJS = catalog.o dependency.o heap.o index.o indexing.o namespace.o aclchk.o \ pg_aggregate.o pg_constraint.o pg_conversion.o pg_depend.o pg_enum.o \ pg_inherits.o pg_largeobject.o pg_namespace.o pg_operator.o pg_proc.o \ !pg_shdepend.o pg_type.o storage.o toasting.o BKIFILES = postgres.bki postgres.description postgres.shdescription --- 13,19 OBJS = catalog.o dependency.o heap.o index.o indexing.o namespace.o aclchk.o \ pg_aggregate.o pg_constraint.o pg_conversion.o pg_depend.o pg_enum.o \ pg_inherits.o pg_largeobject.o pg_namespace.o pg_operator.o pg_proc.o \ !pg_setting.o pg_shdepend.o pg_type.o storage.o toasting.o BKIFILES = postgres.bki postgres.description postgres.shdescription *** POSTGRES_BKI_SRCS = $(addprefix $(top_sr *** 32,38 pg_language.h pg_largeobject.h pg_aggregate.h pg_statistic.h \ pg_rewrite.h pg_trigger.h pg_listener.h pg_description.h pg_cast.h \ pg_enum.h pg_namespace.h pg_conversion.h pg_depend.h \ ! pg_database.h pg_tablespace.h pg_pltemplate.h \ pg_authid.h pg_auth_members.h pg_shdepend.h pg_shdescription.h \ pg_ts_config.h pg_ts_config_map.h pg_ts_dict.h \ pg_ts_parser.h pg_ts_template.h \ --- 32,38 pg_language.h pg_largeobject.h pg_aggregate.h pg_statistic.h \ pg_rewrite.h pg_trigger.h pg_listener.h pg_description.h pg_cast.h \ pg_enum.h pg_namespace.h pg_conversion.h pg_depend.h \ ! pg_database.h pg_setting.h pg_tablespace.h pg_pltemplate.h \ pg_authid.h pg_auth_members
