with some amount of cleanliness.  I see no need to report the internal
Python name rather than the SQL procedure name in error tracebacks.

as elog format strings.  Hai-Chen Tu pointed out the problem in
contrib/dbmirror, but it wasn't the only such error.

SPI_prepare: they all save the prepared plan into topCxt, and so the
procCxt copy that's actually returned by SPI_prepare ought to be freed.
Diagnosis and plpython fix by Nigel Andrews, followup for other PLs
by Tom Lane.

1) pltcl:
Add SPI_freetuptable() calls to avoid memory leaks (Me + Neil Conway)
Change sprintf()s to snprintf()s (Neil Conway)
Remove header files included elsewhere (Neil Conway)

2)plpython:
Add SPI_freetuptable() calls to avoid memory leaks
Cosemtic change to remove a compiler warning


Notes:

I have tested pltcl.c for
 a) the original leak problem reported for the repeated call of spi_exec
in a TCL fragment
and
 b) the subsequent report resulting from the use of spi_exec -array
in a TCL
fragment.

The plpython.c patch is exactly the same as that applied to make
revision 1.23,
the plpython_schema.sql and feature.expected sections of the patch are
also the
same as last submited, applied and subsequently reversed out. It remains
untested by me (other than via make check). However, this should be safe
provided PyString_FromString() _copies_ the given string to make a
PyObject.


Nigel J. Andrews

let's say this patch superscedes the previous one.

I have also attached a patch addressing the similar memory leak problem in
plpython. This includes a slight adjustment of the tests in the source
directory. The patch also includes a cosmetic change to remove a compiler
warning although I think the change makes the code look worse though.

BTW, by my reckoning the memory leak would occur with prepared plans and
without. If that is not the case then I've been barking up the wrong tree.

with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion.  I still want to do some
more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk
of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...

bitmap, if present).

Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid
or not is carried in the tuple descriptor.  For debugging reasons
tdhasoid is of type char, not bool.  There are predefined values for
WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID.

This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week
and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources.  While I
post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a
current snapshot.  (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to
catch up some day ...)

This is a long patch;  if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it
in smaller pieces:

Part 1:  Accessor macros
Part 2:  tdhasoid in TupDesc
Part 3:  Regression test
Part 4:  Parameter withoid to heap_addheader
Part 5:  Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader

Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and
even in the parser;  the other parts are straightforward.

Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to
databases created with an unpatched version.  Part 5 is small (100
lines) and finally breaks compatibility.

HeapTupleHeaderData in setter and getter macros called
HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin, HeapTupleHeaderSetXmin etc.

It also introduces a "virtual" field xvac by defining
HeapTupleHeaderGetXvac and HeapTupleHeaderSetXvac.  Xvac is used by
VACUUM, in fact it is stored in t_cmin.

in different namespaces.  Also, cleanup work on relation namespace
support: drop, alter, rename commands work for tables in non-default
namespaces.

still needed because only removed in 7.4.

o  Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING.  We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.

o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.

o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.

o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.

Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.

Regression passed.

now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.  Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster

initdb/regression tests pass.

spacing.  Also adds space for one-line comments.

Fix typlen-vs-typmod errors inherited from pltcl.

lookup info in the relcache for index access method support functions.
This makes a huge difference for dynamically loaded support functions,
and should save a few cycles even for built-in ones.  Also tweak dfmgr.c
so that load_external_function is called only once, not twice, when
doing fmgr_info for a dynamically loaded function.  All per performance
gripe from Teodor Sigaev, 5-Oct-01.

plpython would result in numeric overflows causing the backend to
terminate abruptly.

This patch fixes it.

a trigger the way that pltcl does.

Here's a little patch that adds it in.

in plpgsql: they fail for datatypes that have old-style I/O functions
due to caching FmgrInfo structs with wrong fn_mcxt lifetime.

Although the plpython fix seems straightforward, I can't check it here
since I don't have Python installed --- would someone check it?

under Cygwin.  This patch together with my previous Python patch:

remove useless files, beat some sense into Makefile.  For me it builds
and sort of runs, so it's a start.
