Robert Haas 6f59777c65 Code cleanup for assign_transaction_read_only.
As in commit fb4c5d2798 on 2011-01-21,
this avoids spurious debug messages and allows idempotent changes at
any time.  Along the way, make assign_XactIsoLevel allow idempotent
changes even when not within a subtransaction, to be consistent with
the new coding of assign_transaction_read_only and because there's
no compelling reason to do otherwise.

Kevin Grittner, with some adjustments.

Robert Haas fb4c5d2798 Code cleanup for assign_XactIsoLevel.
The new coding avoids a spurious debug message when a transaction
that has changed the isolation level has been rolled back.  It also
allows the property to be freely changed to the current value within
a subtransaction.

Kevin Grittner, with one small change by me.

The only use we have had for amindexnulls is in determining whether an

Robert Haas 0d692a0dc9 Basic foreign table support.
Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED.  This commit does
not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
cannot yet be queried.  Support for foreign table scans will need to
be added in a future patch.  However, this patch creates the necessary
system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

Magnus Hagander 9b8aff8c19 Add REPLICATION privilege for ROLEs
This privilege is required to do Streaming Replication, instead of
superuser, making it possible to set up a SR slave that doesn't
have write permissions on the master.

Superuser privileges do NOT override this check, so in order to
use the default superuser account for replication it must be
explicitly granted the REPLICATION permissions. This is backwards
incompatible change, in the interest of higher default security.

Robert Haas 5f7b58fad8 Generalize concept of temporary relations to "relation persistence".
This commit replaces pg_class.relistemp with pg_class.relpersistence;
and also modifies the RangeVar node type to carry relpersistence rather
than istemp.  It also removes removes rd_istemp from RelationData and
instead performs the correct computation based on relpersistence.

For clarity, we add three new macros: RelationNeedsWAL(),
RelationUsesLocalBuffers(), and RelationUsesTempNamespace(), so that we
can clarify the purpose of each check that previous depended on
rd_istemp.

This is intended as infrastructure for the upcoming unlogged tables
patch, as well as for future possible work on global temporary tables.

Tom Lane d583f10b7e Create core infrastructure for KNNGIST.
This is a heavily revised version of builtin_knngist_core-0.9.  The
ordering operators are no longer mixed in with actual quals, which would
have confused not only humans but significant parts of the planner.
Instead, ordering operators are carried separately throughout planning and
execution.

Since the API for ambeginscan and amrescan functions had to be changed
anyway, this commit takes the opportunity to rationalize that a bit.
RelationGetIndexScan no longer forces a premature index_rescan call;
instead, callers of index_beginscan must call index_rescan too.  Aside from
making the AM-side initialization logic a bit less peculiar, this has the
advantage that we do not make a useless extra am_rescan call when there are
runtime key values.  AMs formerly could not assume that the key values
passed to amrescan were actually valid; now they can.

This commit adds columns amoppurpose and amopsortfamily to pg_amop, and
column amcanorderbyop to pg_am.  For the moment all the entries in
amcanorderbyop are "false", since the underlying support isn't there yet.

Also, extend the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands with
[ FOR SEARCH | FOR ORDER BY sort_operator_family ] clauses to allow the new
columns of pg_amop to be populated, and create pg_dump support for dumping
that information.

given that the feature doesn't do anything useful yet.

Heikki Linnakangas ecf70b916b Remove unused parameter. Patch by Shigeru Hanada. 2010-11-18 10:05:17 +02:00
Tom Lane 511e902b51 Make TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY restart sequences transactionally.
In the previous coding, we simply issued ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART commands,
which do not roll back on error.  This meant that an error between
truncating and committing left the sequences out of sync with the table
contents, with potentially bad consequences as were noted in a Warning on
the TRUNCATE man page.

To fix, create a new storage file (relfilenode) for a sequence that is to
be reset due to RESTART IDENTITY.  If the transaction aborts, we'll
automatically revert to the old storage file.  This acts just like a
rewriting ALTER TABLE operation.  A penalty is that we have to take
exclusive lock on the sequence, but since we've already got exclusive lock
on its owning table, that seems unlikely to be much of a problem.

The interaction of this with usual nontransactional behaviors of sequence
operations is a bit weird, but it's hard to see what would be completely
consistent.  Our choice is to discard cached-but-unissued sequence values
both when the RESTART is executed, and at rollback if any; but to not touch
the currval() state either time.

In passing, move the sequence reset operations to happen before not after
any AFTER TRUNCATE triggers are fired.  The previous ordering was not
logically sensible, but was forced by the need to minimize inconsistency
if the triggers caused an error.  Transactional rollback is a much better
solution to that.

Tom Lane 80fb2c1f40 Repair memory leakage while ANALYZE-ing complex index expressions.
The general design of memory management in Postgres is that intermediate
results computed by an expression are not freed until the end of the tuple
cycle.  For expression indexes, ANALYZE has to re-evaluate each expression
for each of its sample rows, and it wasn't bothering to free intermediate
results until the end of processing of that index.  This could lead to very
substantial leakage if the intermediate results were large, as in a recent
example from Jakub Ouhrabka.  Fix by doing ResetExprContext for each sample
row.  This necessitates adding a datumCopy step to ensure that the final
expression value isn't recycled too.  Some quick testing suggests that this
change adds at worst about 10% to the time needed to analyze a table with
an expression index; which is annoying, but seems a tolerable price to pay
to avoid unexpected out-of-memory problems.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 186cbbda8f Provide hashing support for arrays.
The core of this patch is hash_array() and associated typcache
infrastructure, which works just about exactly like the existing support
for array comparison.

In addition I did some work to ensure that the planner won't think that an
array type is hashable unless its element type is hashable, and similarly
for sorting.  This includes adding a datatype parameter to op_hashjoinable
and op_mergejoinable, and adding an explicit "hashable" flag to
SortGroupClause.  The lack of a cross-check on the element type was a
pre-existing bug in mergejoin support --- but it didn't matter so much
before, because if you couldn't sort the element type there wasn't any good
alternative to failing anyhow.  Now that we have the alternative of hashing
the array type, there are cases where we can avoid a failure by being picky
at the planner stage, so it's time to be picky.

The issue of exactly how to combine the per-element hash values to produce
an array hash is still open for discussion, but the rest of this is pretty
solid, so I'll commit it as-is.

Tom Lane 529cb267a6 Improve handling of domains over arrays.
This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking
about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type.
In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array
has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type,
*not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the
domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied.  If we're intending to
store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the
domain type so that constraints are re-checked.

For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY
polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply
array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints.  For the
moment, we just forbid such matching.  We might later wish to insert an
automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should
also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency.

To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original
hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type;
the typelem will always be zero instead.  In those places where it's really
okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the
newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type.
catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents.

Tom Lane 2ec993a7cb Support triggers on views.
This patch adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger, which
is fired instead of performing a physical insert/update/delete.  The
trigger function is passed the entire old and/or new rows of the view,
and must figure out what to do to the underlying tables to implement
the update.  So this feature can be used to implement updatable views
using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking.

In passing, this patch corrects the names of some columns in the
information_schema.triggers view.  It seems the SQL committee renamed
them somewhere between SQL:99 and SQL:2003.

Tom Lane 660fbec560 Prevent show_session_authorization from crashing when session_authorization
hasn't been set.

The only known case where this can happen is when show_session_authorization
is invoked in an autovacuum process, which is possible if an index function
calls it, as for example in bug #5669 from Andrew Geery.  We could perhaps
try to return a sensible value, such as the name of the cluster-owning
superuser; but that seems like much more trouble than the case is worth,
and in any case it could create new possible failure modes.  Simply
returning an empty string seems like the most appropriate fix.

Tom Lane f906e0786e Make sure we wait for protocol-level EOF when ending binary COPY IN.
The previous coding just terminated the COPY immediately after seeing
the EOF marker (-1 where a row field count is expected).  The expected
CopyDone or CopyFail message just got thrown away later, since we weren't
in COPY mode anymore.  This behavior complicated matters for the JDBC
driver, and arguably was the wrong thing in any case since a CopyFail
message after the marker wouldn't be honored.

Note that there is a behavioral change here: extra data after the EOF
marker was silently ignored before, but now it will cause an error.
Hence not back-patching, although this is arguably a bug.

afterTriggerInvokeEvents failed to adjust events->tailfree when truncating

subtransaction abort.  Even that wouldn't kill us, because the re-added data
would just be events marked DONE --- unless the data had been partially
overwritten by new events.  Then we might crash, or in any case misbehave
(perhaps fire triggers twice, or fire triggers with the wrong event data).

Tom Lane b5565bca11 Fix failure of "ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN c serial" when done by non-owner.
The implicitly created sequence was created as owned by the current user,
who could be different from the table owner, eg if current user is a
superuser or some member of the table's owning role.  This caused sanity
checks in the SEQUENCE OWNED BY code to spit up.  Although possibly we
don't need those sanity checks, the safest fix seems to be to make sure
the implicit sequence is assigned the same owner role as the table has.
(We still do all permissions checks as the current user, however.)
Per report from Josh Berkus.

Back-patch to 9.0.  The bug goes back to the invention of SEQUENCE OWNED BY
in 8.2, but the fix requires an API change for DefineRelation(), which seems
to have potential for breaking third-party code if done in a minor release.
Given the lack of prior complaints, it's probably not worth fixing in the
stable branches.

Robert Haas debcec7dc3 Include the backend ID in the relpath of temporary relations.
This allows us to reliably remove all leftover temporary relation
files on cluster startup without reference to system catalogs or WAL;
therefore, we no longer include temporary relations in XLOG_XACT_COMMIT
and XLOG_XACT_ABORT WAL records.

Since these changes require including a backend ID in each
SharedInvalSmgrMsg, the size of the SharedInvalidationMessage.id
field has been reduced from two bytes to one, and the maximum number
of connections has been reduced from INT_MAX / 4 to 2^23-1.  It would
be possible to remove these restrictions by increasing the size of
SharedInvalidationMessage by 4 bytes, but right now that doesn't seem
like a good trade-off.

Robert Haas 31b6fc06d8 Fix inheritance count tracking in ALTER TABLE .. ADD CONSTRAINT.
Without this patch, constraints inherited by children of a parent
table which itself has multiple inheritance parents can end up with
the wrong coninhcount.  After dropping the constraint, the children
end up with a leftover copy of the constraint that is not dumped
and cannot be dropped.  There is a similar problem with ALTER TABLE
.. ADD COLUMN, but that looks significantly more difficult to
resolve, so I'm committing this fix separately.

Back-patch to 8.4, which is the first release that has coninhcount.

Report by Hank Enting.

Tom Lane 67becf8d41 Fix ANALYZE's ancient deficiency of not trying to collect stats for expression
indexes when the index column type (the opclass opckeytype) is different from
the expression's datatype.  When coded, this limitation wasn't worth worrying
about because we had no intelligence to speak of in stats collection for the
datatypes used by such opclasses.  However, now that there's non-toy
estimation capability for tsvector queries, it amounts to a bug that ANALYZE
fails to do this.

The fix changes struct VacAttrStats, and therefore constitutes an API break
for custom typanalyze functions.  Therefore we can't back-patch it into
released branches, but it was agreed that 9.0 isn't yet frozen hard enough
to make such a change unacceptable.  Ergo, back-patch to 9.0 but no further.
The API break had better be mentioned in 9.0 release notes.

Tom Lane 984d56b80f Fix another longstanding problem in copy_relation_data: it was blithely
assuming that a local char[] array would be aligned on at least a word
boundary.  There are architectures on which that is pretty much guaranteed to
NOT be the case ... and those arches also don't like non-aligned memory
accesses, meaning that log_newpage() would crash if it ever got invoked.
Even on Intel-ish machines there's a potential for a large performance penalty
from doing I/O to an inadequately aligned buffer.  So palloc it instead.

Backpatch to 8.0 --- 7.4 doesn't have this code.

Tom Lane 1cc29fe7c6 Teach EXPLAIN to print PARAM_EXEC Params as the referenced expressions,
rather than just $N.  This brings the display of nestloop-inner-indexscan
plans back to where it's been, and incidentally improves the display of
SubPlan parameters as well.  In passing, simplify the EXPLAIN code by
having it deal primarily in the PlanState tree rather than separately
searching Plan and PlanState trees.  This is noticeably cleaner for
subplans, and about a wash elsewhere.

One small difference from previous behavior is that EXPLAIN will no longer
qualify local variable references in inner-indexscan plan nodes, since it
no longer sees such nodes as possibly referencing multiple tables.  Vars
referenced through PARAM_EXEC Params are still forcibly qualified, though,
so I don't think the display is any more confusing than before.  Adjust a
couple of examples in the documentation to match this behavior.

While my previous attempt seems to always produce valid YAML, it

be interpreted as integer or Boolean literals.  So, instead, just
quote everything that's not known to be a number, as we do for
JSON.

Tom Lane 5a86e5e193 Make CREATE INDEX run expression preprocessing on a proposed index expression
before it checks whether the expression is immutable.  This covers two cases
that were previously handled poorly:

1. SQL function inlining could reduce the apparent volatility of the
expression, allowing an expression to be accepted where it previously would
not have been.  As an example, polymorphic functions must be marked with the
worst-case volatility they have for any argument type, but for specific
argument types they might not be so volatile, so indexing could be allowed.
(Since the planner will refuse to inline functions in cases where the
apparent volatility of the expression would increase, this won't break
any cases that were accepted before.)

2. A nominally immutable function could have default arguments that are
volatile expressions.  In such a case insertion of the defaults will increase
both the apparent and actual volatility of the expression, so it is
*necessary* to check this before allowing the expression to be indexed.

Back-patch to 8.4, where default arguments were introduced.

Heikki Linnakangas 9b8a73326e Introduce wal_level GUC to explicitly control if information needed for
archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from
other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in
the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby
to enable/disable hot standby.

Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index
without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of
the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a
hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections,
max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings
change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and
update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in
the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint
records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the
standby until the first checkpoint after the change.

Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to
the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches
changed it to 0x9003.

Tom Lane 11b5847058 Add an OR REPLACE option to CREATE LANGUAGE.
This operates in the same way as other CREATE OR REPLACE commands, ie,
it replaces everything but the ownership and ACL lists of an existing
entry, and requires the caller to have owner privileges for that entry.

While modifying an existing language has some use in development scenarios,
in typical usage all the "replaced" values come from pg_pltemplate so there
will be no actual change in the language definition.  The reason for adding
this is mainly to allow programs to ensure that a language exists without
triggering an error if it already does exist.

This commit just adds and documents the new option.  A followon patch
will use it to clean up some unpleasant cases in pg_dump and pg_regress.

Tom Lane 05d8a561ff Clean up handling of XactReadOnly and RecoveryInProgress checks.
Add some checks that seem logically necessary, in particular let's make
real sure that HS slave sessions cannot create temp tables.  (If they did
they would think that temp tables belonging to the master's session with
the same BackendId were theirs.  We *must* not allow myTempNamespace to
become set in a slave session.)

Change setval() and nextval() so that they are only allowed on temp sequences
in a read-only transaction.  This seems consistent with what we allow for
table modifications in read-only transactions.  Since an HS slave can't have a
temp sequence, this also provides a nicer cure for the setval PANIC reported
by Erik Rijkers.

Make the error messages more uniform, and have them mention the specific
command being complained of.  This seems worth the trifling amount of extra
code, since people are likely to see such messages a lot more than before.
