An alternative way to fix#168 which is not as invasive as the changes
in #171.
This currently breaks the current behaviour of the program as the tables
specified on command line are not found.
This patch includes one global counter (temp_obj_num) which counts number of temporary objects created by pg_repack. Correct order of deletion of temporary object as per count avoids unintentional error messages.
pgut version renamed to avoid confusion with the server version.
(I wonder why there is such a duplication of interfaces and
implementations there though...)
Per Issue #18. SimpleStringList code borrowed from pg_dump and a
pending patch to add similar functionality to pg_restore,
clusterdb, vacuumdb, and reindexdb.
The error handling in reorg_one_table() could still be much improved,
so that an error processing a single table doesn't cause pg_reorg to
necessarily bail out and skip further tables, but I'll leave that for
another day.
there are views or functions depending on columns after dropped ones.
The issue was reported by depesz, and original patch by Denish Patel.
Improved documentation how to build binaries from source.
COPYRIGHT updated.
- Add wait-timeout option and use SET statement_timeout instead of NOWAIT.
This can avoid infinite NOWAIT loops to reorganize heavily accessed tables.
- Support native build with MSVC on Windows.
pg_reorg broke catalog definition if the target table had any dropped columns.
Now pg_reorg removes dropped columns and renumbers valid columns.
You can use pg_reorg to shrink column definitions if you have many dropped
columns. (without pg_reorg, dropped columns are filled with zero forever)
