Peter Eisentraut 366d2a3d88 pg_dump: Fix minor memory leak
Missing a destroyPQExpBuffer() in the early exit branch.  The early
exits aren't really necessary.  Most similar functions just proceed
running the rest of the code zero times and clean up at the end.

Tom Lane d2ab117616 Fix cross-shlib linking in temporary installs on HPUX 10.
Turns out this has been broken for years and we'd not noticed.  The one
case that was getting exercised in the buildfarm, or probably anywhere
else, was postgres_fdw.sl's reference to libpq.sl; and it turns out that
that was always going to libpq.sl in the actual installation directory
not the temporary install.  We'd not noticed because the buildfarm script
does "make install" before it tests contrib.  However, the recent addition
of a logical-replication test to the core regression scripts resulted in
trying to use libpqwalreceiver.sl before "make install" happens, and that
failed for lack of finding libpq.sl, as shown by failures on buildfarm
members gaur and pademelon.

There are two changes needed to fix it: the magic environment variable to
specify shlib search path at runtime is SHLIB_PATH not LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
and the shlib link command needs to specify the +s switch else the library
will not honor SHLIB_PATH.

I'm not quite sure why buildfarm members anole and gharial (HPUX 11) didn't
show the same failure.  Consulting man pages on the web says that HPUX 11
honors both LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SHLIB_PATH, which would explain half of it,
and the rather confusing wording I've been able to find suggests that +s
might effectively be the default in HPUX 11.  But it seems at least as
likely that there's just a libpq.so installed in /usr/lib on that machine;
as long as it's not too ancient, that would satisfy the test.  In any case
I do not think this patch will break HPUX 11.

At the moment I don't see a need to back-patch this, since it only matters
for testing purposes, not to mention that HPUX 10 is probably dead in the
real world anyway.

Tom Lane cdc2a70470 Allow backslash line continuations in pgbench's meta commands.
A pgbench meta command can now be continued onto additional line(s) of a
script file by writing backslash-return.  The continuation marker is
equivalent to white space in that it separates tokens.

Eventually it'd be nice to have the same thing in psql, but that will
be a much larger project.

Stephen Frost bec96c82f8 Dump sequence data based on the TableDataInfo flag
When considering a sequence's Data entry in dumpSequenceData, we were
actually looking at the sequence definition's dump flag to decide if we
should dump the data or not.  That's generally fine, except for when the
sequence data entry was created by processExtensionTables() because it's
a config sequence.  In that case, the sequence itself won't be marked as
dumping data because it's part of an extension, leading to the need for
processExtensionTables() to create the sequence data entry.

This leads to extension config sequence data not being included in the
dump when it should be.  Fix this by looking at the sequence data's dump
flag instead, just as dumpTableData() was doing for tables (which is why
config tables were correctly being handled), and add a regression test
to make sure we don't break it moving forward.

All of this is a bit round-about since we can now represent which
components of a given dump item should be dumped out through the dump
flag.  A future improvement might be to change checkExtensionMembership()
to check for config sequences/tables and set the dump flag based on that
directly, possibly removing the need for processExtensionTables().

Stephen Frost e72059f375 pg_restore: Don't allow non-positive number of jobs
pg_restore will currently accept invalid values for the number of
parallel jobs to run (eg: -1), unlike pg_dump which does check that the
value provided is reasonable.

Worse, '-1' is actually a valid, independent, parameter (as an alias for
--single-transaction), leading to potentially completely unexpected
results from a command line such as:

  -> pg_restore -j -1

Where a user would get neither parallel jobs nor a single-transaction.

Add in validity checking of the parallel jobs option, as we already have
in pg_dump, before we try to open up the archive.  Also move the check
that we haven't been asked to run more parallel jobs than possible on
Windows to the same place, so we do all the option validity checking
before opening the archive.

Back-patch all the way, though for 9.2 we're adding the Windows-specific
check against MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS as that check wasn't back-patched
originally.

Tom Lane 67a875355e In pgbench logging, avoid assuming that instr_times match Unix timestamps.
For aggregated logging, pg_bench supposed that printing the integer part of
INSTR_TIME_GET_DOUBLE() would produce a Unix timestamp.  That was already
broken on Windows, and it's about to get broken on most other platforms as
well.  As in commit 74baa1e3b, we can remove the entanglement at the price
of one extra syscall per transaction; though here it seems more convenient
to use time(NULL) instead of gettimeofday(), since we only need
integral-second precision.

I took the time to do some wordsmithing on the documentation about
pgbench's logging features, too.

Tom Lane 74baa1e3b8 Avoid assuming that instr_time == struct timeval in pgbench logging.
This code was presuming undue familiarity with the contents of the
instr_time struct.  That was already broken on Windows, and it's about
to get broken on most other platforms as well.  The simplest solution
that preserves the current output definition is to just do our own
gettimeofday() call here.  Realistically, the extra cost is probably
negligible in comparison to everything else that's going on in a
pgbench transaction, so it's not worth sweating over.

On Windows, the precision delivered by gettimeofday() is lower than
one could wish, but this is still a big improvement over printing
zeroes, as the code did before.

Stephen Frost f3fd531a51 Fix tab completion in psql for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
When providing tab completion for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES, we are
including the list of roles as possible options for completion after the
GRANT or REVOKE.  Further, we accept FOR ROLE/IN SCHEMA at the same time
and in either order, but the tab completion was only working for one or
the other.  Lastly, we weren't using the actual list of allowed kinds of
objects for default privileges for completion after the 'GRANT X ON' but
instead were completeing to what 'GRANT X ON' supports, which isn't the
ssame at all.

Address these issues by improving the forward tab-completion for ALTER
DEFAULT PRIVILEGES and then constrain and correct how the tail
completion is done when it is for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES.

Back-patch the forward/tail tab-completion to 9.6, where we made it easy
to handle such cases.

For 9.5 and earlier, correct the initial tab-completion to at least be
correct as far as it goes and then add a check for GRANT/REVOKE to only
tab-complete when the GRANT/REVOKE is the start of the command, so we
don't try to do tab-completion after we get to the GRANT/REVOKE part of
the ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which is better than providing
incorrect completions.

up and added a few comments.  All bugs in the 9.5 and earlier patch are

Robert Haas f0e44751d7 Implement table partitioning.
Table partitioning is like table inheritance and reuses much of the
existing infrastructure, but there are some important differences.
The parent is called a partitioned table and is always empty; it may
not have indexes or non-inherited constraints, since those make no
sense for a relation with no data of its own.  The children are called
partitions and contain all of the actual data.  Each partition has an
implicit partitioning constraint.  Multiple inheritance is not
allowed, and partitioning and inheritance can't be mixed.  Partitions
can't have extra columns and may not allow nulls unless the parent
does.  Tuples inserted into the parent are automatically routed to the
correct partition, so tuple-routing ON INSERT triggers are not needed.
Tuple routing isn't yet supported for partitions which are foreign
tables, and it doesn't handle updates that cross partition boundaries.

Currently, tables can be range-partitioned or list-partitioned.  List
partitioning is limited to a single column, but range partitioning can
involve multiple columns.  A partitioning "column" can be an
expression.

Because table partitioning is less general than table inheritance, it
is hoped that it will be easier to reason about properties of
partitions, and therefore that this will serve as a better foundation
for a variety of possible optimizations, including query planner
optimizations.  The tuple routing based which this patch does based on
the implicit partitioning constraints is an example of this, but it
seems likely that many other useful optimizations are also possible.

Instead of confusingly stating platform-dependent defaults for these

we handle other platform-dependent defaults.  This won't do anything

placement in bufmgr.h is unworkable because that file can't be

Stephen Frost 8f91f323b4 Clean up pg_dump tests, re-enable BLOB testing
Add a loop to check that each test covers all of the pg_dump runs.  We
(I) had been a bit sloppy when adding new runs and not making sure to
mark if they should be under like or unlike for each test, this loop
makes sure that the test system will complain if any are forgotten in
the future.

The loop also correctly handles the 'catch all' cases, which are used to
avoid running unnecessary specific checks when a single catch-all can be
done (eg: a no-acl run should not have any GRANT commands).

Also, re-enable the testing of blobs, but use lo_from_bytea() instead of
trying to be cute and writing out to a file and then reading it back in
with psql, which proved to be difficult for some buildfarm members.
This allows us to add support for testing the --no-blobs option which
will be getting added shortly, provided the buildfarm doesn't blow up on
this.

Tom Lane d8c05aff56 Fix pg_dump's handling of circular dependencies in views.
pg_dump's traditional solution for breaking a circular dependency involving
a view was to create the view with CREATE TABLE and then later issue CREATE
RULE "_RETURN" ... to convert the table to a view, relying on the backend's
very very ancient code that supports making views that way.  We've wanted
to get rid of that kluge for a long time, but the thing that finally
motivates doing something about it is the recognition that this method
fails with the --clean option, because it leads to issuing DROP RULE
"_RETURN" followed by DROP TABLE --- and the backend won't let you drop a
view's _RETURN rule.

Instead, let's break circular dependencies by initially creating the view
using CREATE VIEW AS SELECT NULL::columntype AS columnname, ... (so that
it has the right column names and types to support external references,
but no dependencies beyond the column data types), and then later dumping
the ON SELECT rule using the spelling CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW.  This method
wasn't available when this code was originally written, but it's been
possible since PG 7.3, so it seems fine to start relying on it now.

To solve the --clean problem, make the dropStmt for an ON SELECT rule
be CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW with the same dummy target list as above.
In this way, during the DROP phase, we first reduce the view to have
no extra dependencies, and then we can drop it entirely when we've
gotten rid of whatever had a circular dependency on it.

(Note: this should work adequately well with the --if-exists option, since
the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW will go through whether the view exists or not.
It could fail if the view exists with a conflicting column set, but we
don't really support --clean against a non-matching database anyway.)

This allows cleaning up some other kluges inside pg_dump, notably that
we don't need a notion of reloptions attached to a rule anymore.

Although this is a bug fix, commit to HEAD only for now.  The problem's
existed for a long time and we've had relatively few complaints, so it
doesn't really seem worth taking risks to fix it in the back branches.
We might revisit that choice if no problems emerge.

much saner behavior than Assert'ing or dumping core due to a null-pointer

Peter Eisentraut a7e5457db8 pg_upgrade: Upgrade sequence data via pg_dump
Previously, pg_upgrade migrated sequence data like tables by copying the
on-disk file.  This does not allow any changes in the on-disk format for
sequences.  It's simpler to just have pg_dump set the new sequence
values as it normally does.  To do that, create a hidden submode in
pg_dump that dumps sequence data even when a schema-only dump is
requested, and trigger that submode in binary upgrade mode.  (This new
submode could easily be exposed as a command-line option, but it has
limited use outside of pg_dump and would probably cause some confusion,
so we don't do that at this time.)

Peter Eisentraut 27d2c12328 pg_dump: Separate table and sequence data object types
Instead of handling both sequence data and table data internally as
"table data", handle sequences separately under a "sequence set" type.
We already handled materialized view data differently, so it makes the
code somewhat cleaner to handle each relation kind separately at the top
level.

This does not change the output format, since there already was a
separate "SEQUENCE SET" archive entry type.  A noticeable difference is
that SEQUENCE SET entries now always appear after TABLE DATA entries.
And in parallel mode there is less sorting to do, because the sequence
data entries are no longer considered table data.

Magnus Hagander 56c7d8d455 Allow pg_basebackup to stream transaction log in tar mode
This will write the received transaction log into a file called
pg_wal.tar(.gz) next to the other tarfiles instead of writing it to
base.tar. When using fetch mode, the transaction log is still written to
base.tar like before, and when used against a pre-10 server, the file
is named pg_xlog.tar.

To do this, implement a new concept of a "walmethod", which is
responsible for writing the WAL. Two implementations exist, one that
writes to a plain directory (which is also used by pg_receivexlog) and
one that writes to a tar file with optional compression.

I did not remove the ability for pg_restore to read custom-format archives
generated by these old versions (and light testing says that that does
still work).  If you have an old server, you probably also have a pg_dump
that will work with it; but you have an old custom-format backup file,
that might be all you have.

It'd be possible at this point to remove fmtQualifiedId()'s version

Tom Lane 83c2492002 Enforce a specific order for probing library loadability in pg_upgrade.
pg_upgrade checks whether all the shared libraries used in the old cluster
are also available in the new one by issuing LOAD for each library name.
Previously, it cared not what order it did the LOADs in.  Ideally it
should not have to care, but currently the transform modules in contrib
fail unless both the language and datatype modules they depend on are
loaded first.  A backend-side solution for that looks possible but
probably not back-patchable, so as a stopgap measure, let's do the LOAD
tests in order by library name length.  That should fix the problem for
reasonably-named transform modules, eg "hstore_plpython" will be loaded
after both "hstore" and "plpython".  (Yeah, it's a hack.)

In a larger sense, having a predictable order of these probes is a good
thing, since it will make upgrades predictably work or not work in the
face of inter-library dependencies.  Also, this patch replaces O(N^2)
de-duplication logic with O(N log N) logic, which could matter in
installations with very many databases.  So I don't foresee reverting this
even after we have a proper fix for the library-dependency problem.

In passing, improve a couple of SQL queries used here.

Tom Lane f002ed2b8e Improve error reporting in pg_upgrade's file copying/linking/rewriting.
The previous design for this had copyFile(), linkFile(), and
rewriteVisibilityMap() returning strerror strings, with the caller
producing one-size-fits-all error messages based on that.  This made it
impossible to produce messages that described the failures with any degree
of precision, especially not short-read problems since those don't set
errno at all.

Since pg_upgrade has no intention of continuing after any error in this
area, let's fix this by just letting these functions call pg_fatal() for
themselves, making it easy for each point of failure to have a suitable
error message.  Taking this approach also allows dropping cleanup code
that was unnecessary and was often rather sloppy about preserving errno.
To not lose relevant info that was reported before, pass in the schema name
and table name of the current table so that they can be included in the
error reports.

An additional problem was the use of getErrorText(), which was flat out
wrong for all but a couple of call sites, because it unconditionally did
"_dosmaperr(GetLastError())" on Windows.  That's only appropriate when
reporting an error from a Windows-native API, which only a couple of
the callers were actually doing.  Thus, even the reported strerror string
would be unrelated to the actual failure in many cases on Windows.
To fix, get rid of getErrorText() altogether, and just have call sites
do strerror(errno) instead, since that's the way all the rest of our
frontend programs do it.  Add back the _dosmaperr() calls in the two
places where that's actually appropriate.

In passing, make assorted messages hew more closely to project style
guidelines, notably by removing initial capitals in not-complete-sentence
primary error messages.  (I didn't make any effort to clean up places
I didn't have another reason to touch, though.)

Per discussion of a report from Thomas Kellerer.  Back-patch to 9.6,
but no further; given the relative infrequency of reports of problems
here, it's not clear it's worth adapting the patch to older branches.

Tom Lane 5afcd2aa74 Fix multiple portability issues in pg_upgrade's rewriteVisibilityMap().
This is new code in 9.6, and evidently we missed out testing it as
thoroughly as it should have been.  Bugs fixed here:

1. Use binary not text mode to open the files on Windows.  Before, if
the visibility map chanced to contain two bytes that looked like \r\n,
Windows' read() would convert that to \n, which both corrupts the map
data and causes the file to look shorter than it should.  Unless you
were *very* unlucky and had an exact multiple of 8K such occurrences
in each VM file, this would cause pg_upgrade to report a failure,
though with a rather obscure error message.

2. The code for copying rebuilt bytes into the output was simply wrong.
It chanced to work okay on little-endian machines but would emit the
bytes in the wrong order on big-endian, leading to silent corruption
of the visibility map data.

3. The code was careless about alignment of the working buffers.  Given
all three of an alignment-picky architecture, a compiler that chooses
to put the new_vmbuf[] local variable at an odd starting address, and
a checksum-enabled database, pg_upgrade would dump core.

Point one was reported by Thomas Kellerer, the other two detected by
code-reading.

Point two is much the nastiest of these issues from an impact standpoint,
though fortunately it affects only a minority of users.  The Windows issue
will definitely bite people, but it seems quite unlikely that there would
be undetected corruption from that.

In addition, I failed to resist the temptation to do some minor cosmetic
adjustments, mostly improving the comments.

It would be a good idea to try to improve the error reporting here, but
that seems like material for a separate patch.

Peter Eisentraut bc34223bc1 pg_basebackup pg_receivexlog: Issue fsync more carefully
Several places weren't careful about fsyncing in the way.  See 1d4a0ab1
and 606e0f98 for details about required fsyncs.

This adds a couple of functions in src/common/ that have an equivalent
in the backend: durable_rename(), fsync_parent_path()

Peter Eisentraut bf5bb2e85b Move fsync routines of initdb into src/common/
The intention is to used those in other utilities such as pg_basebackup
and pg_receivexlog.

Peter Eisentraut 6ad8ac6026 Exclude additional directories in pg_basebackup
The list of files and directories that pg_basebackup excludes from the
backup was somewhat incomplete and unorganized.  Change that with having
the exclusion driven from tables.  Clean up some code around it.  Also
document the exclusions in more detail so that users of pg_start_backup
can make use of it as well.

The contents of these directories are now excluded from the backup:
pg_dynshmem, pg_notify, pg_serial, pg_snapshots, pg_subtrans

Also fix a bug that a pg_repl_slot or pg_stat_tmp being a symlink would
cause a corrupt tar header to be created.  Now such symlinks are
included in the backup as empty directories.  Bug found by Ashutosh
Sharma <ashu.coek88@gmail.com>.

Peter Eisentraut e79e6c4da1 Fix CRC check handling in get_controlfile
The previous patch broke this by returning NULL for a failed CRC check,
which pg_controldata would then try to read.  Fix by returning the
result of the CRC check in a separate argument.
