Previously, even if the table whose column storage type has been
changed the pg_repack did first copy the data to table without changing
column storage paramater. This cause of that the existing data is
pushed out to its toast table even if actual column storage type is
"main".
Issue #94.
The storage option such as AUTOVACUUM_VACUUM_SCALE_FACTOR can be
set to both heap table and TOAST table. But the storage parameter
for TOAST table had gone after repacked. This change create new
function get_storage_param which returns all storage paramters
including for TOAST table and OID setting.
Issue #10.
During repacking table, if a transaction executes INSERT CONFLICT
ON UPDATE/DO NOTHING, because we define BEFORE trigger on target
table, the contents of operation log table becomes inconsistent
easliy. As a result, pg_reapck fails with a high probability.
To resolve this issue, this changes the trigger type from BEFORE
to AFTER. We define AFTER trigger that is the first of the AFTER
trigger to fire on the table.
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.
Prior to 506104686b these DELETEs had been done in large batches (of
DEFAULT_PEEK_COUNT size), but that naive method of choosing rows to
delete was unsafe. Here we continue to keep track of which rows must
be deleted as we process them.
Adds support for repacking only the tables in a specified schema. This
doesn't support --only-indexes mode, but that seems alright for now.
Fix merge conflicts, and make a few tweaks along the way:
* bump version to 1.3-dev0
* add Beena to list of maintainers
* documentation wordsmithing
* fix up the INFO message printed for each index in --index or
--only-indexes mode, so that it is only printed once per index, and
prints the name of the original index, not that of the transient
index_%u name.
It is not safe to assume that we can bulk-delete all entries from the
log table based on their "id" being less than the largest "id" we have
processed so far, as we may unintentionally delete some tuples from the
log which we haven't actually processed yet in the case of concurrent
transactions adding tuples into the log table.
Note: if original namespace is "foo bar", repack_indexdef gives a bad
result. This is weird as apparently skip_ident can deal with spaces in
a quoted identifier. Committing as I'm going home, will deal with that
later.
Bumped version number to enforce extension re-creation as the SQL has
been modified.
Current limitations:
- Check for namespace existence: on error temp objects are left around
- What happens to the indexes?
- Tests needed.
- Should the default be the GUC default_tablespace instead of pg_default?
This is actually an original pg_repack shortcoming, not a regression.
...not the other way around. This allows DROP EXTENSION ... CASCADE to
remove temporary directories, simplifying the cleanup procedure after an
error, and getting rid of the schema on uninstall.
