problem: in case there are open transactions on other databases then the
one pg_repack is working on and pg_locks doesn't contain any
information about the affected database oid of the locked relation
(e.g. there is no locked relation, only an open transaction),
pg_repack will wait for that connection to release the lock
(even if the relation that gets reorganized is held in an
different database).
solution: join pg_database (via pg_stat_activity's datid) and check
if the connection (of the conflicted transaction) is established
on a different database than the relation treated by pg_repack
and skip them.
furthermore don't exclude transactions from other databases when
shared objects are locked.
* More mentions of new --only-indexes feature
* Note we now support up to Postgres 9.3, and get rid of outdated list
of supported operating systems. (As far as we know, pg_repack should
build on any platforms supported by PostgreSQL itself, although no one
has tested the Windows build in a long time.)
* Remove most of the warnings about data corruption possible with concurrent
DDL: this should no longer be a concern now that we hold an ACCESS SHARE
lock during full-table repacks. Keep a short warning about old versions
being susceptible to this problem, just to make clear that it's fixed now
and as an enticement to upgrade.
* A few grammar, phrasing, and typo fixes
Previously, any error creating the temp index was blamed on a previous
temporary index existing. However, other errors could occur, e.g. if
--tablespace=pg_global was specified. Perform an explicit check for
whether an existing index_xxxxx already exists first, so that we
can give that error message only in the appropriate case.
* Avoid using create_idx from a PGresult that's already been PQclear'ed
* Now that we're properly tracking which indexes have been repacked,
don't bother with IF EXISTS in DROP INDEX. Better to make any errors
here stand out.
* Fix error handling in repack_table_indexes() to keep track of which
indexes were actually rebuilt successfully by pg_repack, so that only
those indexes will be dropped. Previously, we would issue an error
message telling the user to use DROP INDEX but then just drop the
index anyway.
* DROP INDEX command needs to quote the schema name in case it is
not simple.
* missing CLEARPGRES() in repack_all_indexes()
Improve locking behavior in indexes-only mode so we only need one
ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock per table instead of one per index. Support
multiple --index options. Fix for schema-name parsing.
Patch from Beena Emerson.
Switch to using the two-input form of pg_advisory_lock(), so as
to avoid impacting other applications which might happen to lock
just the OID of the table. The REPACK_LOCK_PREFIX_STR is a decimal
version of the first three bytes of
echo -n "pg_repack" | sha1sum
* Make sure we don't crash if this function is fed a bogus OID
* rename idx1, idx2 variables for clarity
* tweak query against pg_class to specify reltype = 0
* CommandCounterIncrement() is probably unnecessary, removed
Since we are not starting a new transaction in conn2 during the
swap step, we need to make sure that if our LOCK query is canceled
due to statement_timeout that conn2's transaction is not left in
a useless error state. Use SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT to
avoid this problem.
Per Issue #7 from armanddp, it seems the RHEL/CentOS packages
of Postgres are built against libpam, which shows up in
the LIBS reported by pg_config. We don't actually need to
link in libpam for pg_repack, so manually remove it from
our LIBS. This helps a little bit for building on
RHEL/CentOS, though the issue of libpgport.a missing
on that platform still looms.
The -E flag to specify extended regular expressions apparently is
not portable to all platforms, such as CentOS 4.5. Use an uglier
but hopefully more portable basic regular expression in Makefiles.
Makes injecting the target tablespace much easier and fixes interaction
between tablespace and WITH/WHERE clauses.
Added tests to check the correct indexes definition.
Not as available as I thought.
Can't use the 0 prefix to make the 3rd number optional as $(()) parses is as
octal, so only use the first 2 numbers.
Also fixed collate test: not available on PG 9.0.
