Tom Lane 76c09dbe8d Rewrite pam_passwd_conv_proc to be more robust: avoid assuming that the
pam_message array contains exactly one PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF message.
Instead, deal with however many messages there are, and don't throw error
for PAM_ERROR_MSG and PAM_TEXT_INFO messages.  This logic is borrowed from
openssh 5.2p1, which hopefully has seen more real-world PAM usage than we
have.  Per bug #5121 from Ryan Douglas, which turned out to be caused by
the conv_proc being called with zero messages.  Apparently that is normal
behavior given the combination of Linux pam_krb5 with MS Active Directory
as the domain controller.

Patch all the way back, since this code has been essentially untouched
since 7.4.  (Surprising we've not heard complaints before.)

Tom Lane b2734a0d79 Support SQL-compliant triggers on columns, ie fire only if certain columns
are named in the UPDATE's SET list.

Note: the schema of pg_trigger has not actually changed; we've just started
to use a column that was there all along.  catversion bumped anyway so that
this commit is included in the history of potentially interesting changes
to system catalog contents.

Heikki Linnakangas be922e8555 Rename the new MAX_AUTH_TOKEN_LENGTH #define to PG_MAX_AUTH_MAX_TOKEN_LENGTH,
to make it more obvious that it's a PostgreSQL internal limit, not something
that comes from system header files.

Peter Eisentraut de7ee9e2e9 In the configure check for the Python distutils module, use a less obscure
shell construct to hide away the stderr output.  Python 3.1 actually core
dumps on the current invocation (http://bugs.python.org/issue7111), but the
new version also has the more general advantage of saving the error message
in config.log for analysis.

Peter Eisentraut ea2467d78b Add alternative expected file for unicode test for client encoding not UTF8 2009-10-14 21:42:58 +00:00
Heikki Linnakangas e2a41957a4 Raise the maximum authentication token (Kerberos ticket) size in GSSAPI
and SSPI athentication methods. While the old 2000 byte limit was more than
enough for Unix Kerberos implementations, tickets issued by Windows Domain
Controllers can be much larger.

Peter Eisentraut 207b4da51d Replace unmatched " by &quot; to avoid throwing off syntax highlighters. 2009-10-13 22:46:13 +00:00
Tom Lane 42ec8ad628 Add "\pset linestyle ascii/unicode" option to psql, allowing our traditional
ASCII-art style of table output to be upgraded to use Unicode box drawing
characters if desired.  By default, psql will use the Unicode characters
whenever client_encoding is UTF8.

The patch forces linestyle=ascii in pg_regress usage, ensuring we don't
break the regression tests in Unicode locales.

Andrew Dunstan faa1afc6c1 CREATE LIKE INCLUDING COMMENTS and STORAGE, and INCLUDING ALL shortcut. Itagaki Takahiro. 2009-10-12 19:49:24 +00:00
Tom Lane 0adaf4cb31 Move the handling of SELECT FOR UPDATE locking and rechecking out of
execMain.c and into a new plan node type LockRows.  Like the recent change
to put table updating into a ModifyTable plan node, this increases planning
flexibility by allowing the operations to occur below the top level of the
plan tree.  It's necessary in any case to restore the previous behavior of
having FOR UPDATE locking occur before ModifyTable does.

This partially refactors EvalPlanQual to allow multiple rows-under-test
to be inserted into the EPQ machinery before starting an EPQ test query.
That isn't sufficient to fix EPQ's general bogosity in the face of plans
that return multiple rows per test row, though.  Since this patch is
mostly about getting some plan node infrastructure in place and not about
fixing ten-year-old bugs, I will leave EPQ improvements for another day.

Another behavioral change that we could now think about is doing FOR UPDATE
before LIMIT, but that too seems like it should be treated as a followon
patch.

Tom Lane 05d249717d Improve similar_escape() in two different ways:
* Stop escaping ? and {.  As of SQL:2008, SIMILAR TO is defined to have
POSIX-compatible interpretation of ? as well as {m,n} and related constructs,
so we should allow these things through to our regex engine.

* Escape ^ and $.  It appears that our regex engine will treat ^^ at the
beginning of the string the same as ^, and similarly for $$ at the end of
the string, which meant that SIMILAR TO was effectively ignoring ^ at the
start of the pattern and $ at the end.  Since these are not supposed to be
metacharacters, this is a bug.

The second part of this is arguably a back-patchable bug fix, but I'm
hesitant to do that because it might break applications that are expecting
something like "col SIMILAR TO '^foo$'" to work like a POSIX pattern.
Seems safer to only change it at a major version boundary.

Per discussion of an example from Doug Gorley.

Tom Lane 8a5849b7ff Split the processing of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations out of execMain.c.
They are now handled by a new plan node type called ModifyTable, which is
placed at the top of the plan tree.  In itself this change doesn't do much,
except perhaps make the handling of RETURNING lists and inherited UPDATEs a
tad less klugy.  But it is necessary preparation for the intended extension of
allowing RETURNING queries inside WITH.

Peter Eisentraut b865d27582 Use pg_get_triggerdef in pg_dump
Add a variant of pg_get_triggerdef with a second argument "pretty" that
causes the output to be formatted in the way pg_dump used to do.  Use this
variant in pg_dump with server versions >= 8.5.

This insulates pg_dump from most future trigger feature additions, such as
the upcoming column triggers patch.

Tom Lane c970292a94 Remove very ancient tuple-counting infrastructure (IncrRetrieved() and
friends).  This code has all been ifdef'd out for many years, and doesn't
seem to have any prospect of becoming any more useful in the future.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE is what people use in practice, and I think if we did want
process-wide counters we'd be more likely to put in dtrace events for that
than try to resurrect this code.  Get rid of it so as to have one less detail
to worry about while refactoring execMain.c.

Alvaro Herrera 2eda8dfb52 Make it possibly to specify GUC params per user and per database.
Create a new catalog pg_db_role_setting where they are now stored, and better
encapsulate the code that deals with settings into its realm.  The old
datconfig and rolconfig columns are removed.

psql has gained a \drds command to display the settings.

Backwards compatibility warning: while the backwards-compatible system views
still have the config columns, they no longer completely represent the
configuration for a user or database.

Catalog version bumped.

Alvaro Herrera 07cefdfb7a Fix snapshot management, take two.
Partially revert the previous patch I installed and replace it with a more
general fix: any time a snapshot is pushed as Active, we need to ensure that it
will not be modified in the future.  This means that if the same snapshot is
used as CurrentSnapshot, it needs to be copied separately.  This affects
serializable transactions only, because CurrentSnapshot has already been copied
by RegisterSnapshot and so PushActiveSnapshot does not think it needs another
copy.  However, CommandCounterIncrement would modify CurrentSnapshot, whereas
ActiveSnapshots must not have their command counters incremented.

I say "partially" because the regression test I added for the previous bug
has been kept.

(This restores 8.3 behavior, because before snapmgr.c existed, any snapshot set
as Active was copied.)

Peter Eisentraut 603e72b0be Clean up the clean rules of the documentation
Most things should be cleaned by "make clean", except the parts that are
shipped in the tarball.  These rules had gotten a bit out of whack after
the various restructurings of the documentation build rules.

Tom Lane e0c433c4a3 Change CREATE TABLE so that column default expressions coming from different
inheritance parent tables are compared using equal(), instead of doing
strcmp() on the nodeToString representation.  The old implementation was
always a tad cheesy, and it finally fails completely as of 8.4, now that the
node tree might contain syntax location information.  equal() knows it's
supposed to ignore those fields, but strcmp() hardly can.  Per recent
report from Scott Ribe.

Tom Lane 249724cb01 Create an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which allows users to adjust
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.

Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too.  A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

Tom Lane 35a173ab33 Fix assorted memory leaks in pg_hba.conf parsing. Over a sufficiently
large number of SIGHUP cycles, these would have run the postmaster out

Tom Lane 54d60bbd07 Fix a couple of issues in recent patch to print updates to postgresql.conf
settings: avoid calling superuser() in contexts where it's not defined,
don't leak the transient copies of GetConfigOption output, and avoid the
whole exercise in postmaster child processes.

I found that actually no current caller of GetConfigOption has any use for
its internal check of GUC_SUPERUSER_ONLY.  But rather than just remove
that entirely, it seemed better to add a parameter indicating whether to
enforce the check.

Per report from Simon and subsequent testing.

Tom Lane e66d714386 Make sure that GIN fast-insert and regular code paths enforce the same
tuple size limit.  Improve the error message for index-tuple-too-large
so that it includes the actual size, the limit, and the index name.
Sync with the btree occurrences of the same error.

Back-patch to 8.4 because it appears that the out-of-sync problem
is occurring in the field.

Tom Lane d691cb9141 Fix erroneous handling of shared dependencies (ie dependencies on roles)
in CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION.  The original code would update pg_shdepend
as if a new function was being created, even if it wasn't, with two bad
consequences: pg_shdepend might record the wrong owner for the function,
and any dependencies for roles mentioned in the function's ACL would be lost.
The fix is very easy: just don't touch pg_shdepend at all when doing a
function replacement.

Also update the CREATE FUNCTION reference page, which never explained
exactly what changes and doesn't change in a function replacement.
In passing, fix the CREATE VIEW reference page similarly; there's no
code bug there, but the docs didn't say what happens.

Alvaro Herrera caa4cfa369 Ensure that a cursor has an immutable snapshot throughout its lifespan.
The old coding was using a regular snapshot, referenced elsewhere, that was
subject to having its command counter updated.  Fix by creating a private copy
of the snapshot exclusively for the cursor.

Backpatch to 8.4, which is when the bug was introduced during the snapshot
management rewrite.
