Commit 729205571e added privileges on data
types, but there were a number of oversights. The implementation of
default privileges for types missed a few places, and pg_dump was
utterly innocent of the whole concept. Per bug #7741 from Nathan Alden,
and subsequent wider investigation.
This allows recovery to notice certain incorrect recovery scenarios.
If a server has recovered to point X on timeline 5, and you restart
recovery, it better be on timeline 5 when it reaches point X again, not on
some timeline with a higher ID. This can happen e.g if you a standby server
is shut down, a new timeline appears in the WAL archive, and the standby
server is restarted. It will try to follow the new timeline, which is wrong
because some WAL on the old timeline was already replayed before shutdown.
Requires an initdb (or at least pg_resetxlog), because this adds a field to
the control file.

Since we've already chdir'd into the data directory, the file should
be referenced as just "postmaster.pid", without prefixing the directory
path. This is harmless in the normal case where an absolute PGDATA path
is used, but quite dangerous if a relative path is specified, since the
program might then fail to notice an active postmaster.
Reported by Hari Babu. This got broken in my commit
eb5949d190, so patch all active versions.
Without this, the connection will be killed after timeout if
wal_sender_timeout is set in the server.
Original patch by Amit Kapila, modified by me to fit recent changes in the
code.
We used to send structs wrapped in CopyData messages, which works as long as
the client and server agree on things like endianess, timestamp format and
alignment. That's good enough for running a standby server, which has to run
on the same platform anyway, but it's useful for tools like pg_receivexlog
to work across platforms.
This breaks protocol compatibility of streaming replication, but we never
promised that to be compatible across versions, anyway.
Represent a sequence's current value as a separate TableDataInfo dumpable
object, so that it can be dumped within the data section of the archive
rather than in pre-data. This fixes an undesirable inconsistency between
the meanings of "--data-only" and "--section=data", and also fixes dumping
of sequences that are marked as extension configuration tables, as per a
report from Marko Kreen back in July. The main cost is that we do one more
SQL query per sequence, but that's probably not very meaningful in most
databases.
Back-patch to 9.1, since it has the extension configuration issue even
though not the --section switch.
In commit 4317e0246c, I accidentally broke
this behavior while rearranging code to ensure that --create wouldn't
affect whether a DATABASE entry gets put into archive-format output.
Thus, 9.2 would issue a DROP DATABASE command in --clean mode, which is
either useless or dangerous depending on the usage scenario.
It should not do that, and no longer does.
A bright spot is that this refactoring makes it easy to allow the
combination of --clean and --create to work sensibly, ie, emit DROP
DATABASE then CREATE DATABASE before reconnecting. Ordinarily we'd
consider that a feature addition and not back-patch it, but it seems
silly to not include the extra couple of lines required in the 9.2
version of the code.
Per report from Guillaume Lelarge, though this is slightly more extensive
than his proposed patch.
Don't leak a file descriptor if the file is empty or we can't read its size.
Expect there to be a newline at the end of the last line, too. If there
isn't, ignore anything after the last newline. This makes it a tiny bit
more robust in case the file is appended to concurrently, so that we don't
return the last line if it hasn't been fully written yet. And this makes
the code a bit less obscure, anyway. Per Tom Lane's suggestion.
Backpatch to all supported branches.
If postmaster changed postmaster.pid while pg_ctl was reading it, pg_ctl
could overrun the buffer it allocated for the file. Fix by reading the
whole file to memory with one read() call.
initdb contains an identical copy of the readfile() function, but the files
that initdb reads are static, not modified concurrently. Nevertheless, add
a simple bounds-check there, if only to silence static analysis tools.
Per report from Dave Vitek. Backpatch to all supported branches.
Numerous flex and bison make rules have appeared in the source tree
over time, and they are all virtually identical, so we can replace
them by pattern rules with some variables for customization.
Users of pgxs will also be able to benefit from this.
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common
practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our
various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size
request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who
should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's
important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated
the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump
for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from
Matthew Carrington.
Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous
complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases,
even though some of these functions were in place before that.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.
This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)
timeval.t_sec is of type time_t, which is not always compatible with long.
I'm not sure if this was just harmless warning or a real bug, but this
fixes it, anyway.
The tar output module did some very ugly and ultimately incorrect hacking
on COPY commands to try to get them to work in the context of restoring a
deconstructed tar archive. In particular, it would fail altogether for
table names containing any upper-case characters, since it smashed the
command string to lower-case before modifying it (and, just to add insult
to injury, did that in a way that would fail in multibyte encodings).
I don't see any particular value in being flexible about the case of the
command keywords, since the string will just have been created by
dumpTableData, so let's get rid of the whole case-folding thing.
Also, it doesn't seem to meet the POLA for the script to restore data only
in COPY mode, so add \i commands to make it have comparable behavior in
--inserts mode.
Noted while looking at the tar-output code in connection with Brian
Weaver's patch.
Both programs got the "magic" string wrong, causing standard-conforming tar
implementations to believe the output was just legacy tar format without
any POSIX extensions. This doesn't actually matter that much, especially
since pg_dump failed to fill the POSIX fields anyway, but still there is
little point in emitting tar format if we can't be compliant with the
standard. In addition, pg_dump failed to write the EOF marker correctly
(there should be 2 blocks of zeroes not just one), pg_basebackup put the
numeric group ID in the wrong place, and both programs had a pretty
brain-dead idea of how to compute the checksum. Fix all that and improve
the comments a bit.
pg_restore is modified to accept either the correct POSIX-compliant "magic"
string or the previous value. This part of the change will need to be
back-patched to avoid an unnecessary compatibility break when a previous
version tries to read tar-format output from 9.3 pg_dump.
Brian Weaver and Tom Lane
The same message is used in both pg_restore and pg_dump, and it's
confusing to output "restoring data for table xyz" when the user
is just doing a pg_dump.
Formerly it would only show them for relkinds 'r' and 'f' (plain tables
and foreign tables). However, as of 9.2, views can also have reloptions,
namely security_barrier. The relkind restriction seems pointless and
not at all future-proof, so just print reloptions whenever there are any.
In passing, make some cosmetic improvements to the code that pulls the
"tableinfo" fields out of the PGresult.
Noted and patched by Dean Rasheed, with adjustment for all relkinds by me.
Only warn when connecting to a newer server, since connecting to older
servers works pretty well nowadays. Also update the documentation a
little about current psql/server compatibility expectations.
If a view has circular dependencies, pg_dump splits it into a CREATE TABLE
and a CREATE RULE command to break the dependency loop. However, if the
view has reloptions, those options cannot be applied in the CREATE TABLE
command, because views and tables have different allowed reloptions so
CREATE TABLE would reject them. Instead apply the reloptions after the
CREATE RULE, using ALTER VIEW SET.
Replace unix_socket_directory with unix_socket_directories, which is a list
of socket directories, and adjust postmaster's code to allow zero or more
Unix-domain sockets to be created.
This is mostly a straightforward change, but since the Unix sockets ought
to be created after the TCP/IP sockets for safety reasons (better chance
of detecting a port number conflict), AddToDataDirLockFile needs to be
fixed to support out-of-order updates of data directory lockfile lines.
That's a change that had been foreseen to be necessary someday anyway.

Previously, the -1 option was silently ignored.
Also, emit an error if -1 is used in a context where it won't be

from the original submission.
In particular, with a controlled shutdown of the master, pg_basebackup
with streaming log could terminate without an error message, even though
the backup is not consistent.

The most user-visible part of this is to change the long options
--statusint and --noloop to --status-interval and --no-loop,
respectively, per discussion.
Also, consistently enclose file names in double quotes, per our
conventions; and consistently use the term "transaction log file" to
talk about WAL segments. (Someday we may need to go over this
terminology and make it consistent across the whole source code.)
Finally, reflow the code to better fit in 80 columns, and have pgindent
fix it up some more.
They don't actually do anything yet; that will get fixed in a
follow-on commit. But this gets the basic infrastructure in place,
including CREATE/ALTER/DROP EVENT TRIGGER; support for COMMENT,
SECURITY LABEL, and ALTER EXTENSION .. ADD/DROP EVENT TRIGGER;
pg_dump and psql support; and documentation for the anticipated
initial feature set.
Dimitri Fontaine, with review and a bunch of additional hacking by me.
Thom Brown extensively reviewed earlier versions of this patch set,
but there's not a whole lot of that code left in this commit, as it
turns out.
The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more
mainstream compilers such as gcc. But manual inspection showed that
the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will
complain about removing this code.
Historically we have not worried about fsync'ing anything during initdb
(in fact, initdb intentionally passes -F to each backend launch to prevent
it from fsync'ing). But with filesystems getting more aggressive about
caching data, that's not such a good plan anymore. Make initdb do a pass
over the finished data directory tree to fsync everything. For testing
purposes, the -N/--nosync flag can be used to restore the old behavior.
Also, testing shows that on Linux, sync_file_range() is much faster than
posix_fadvise() for hinting to the kernel that an fsync is coming,
apparently because the latter blocks on a rather small request queue while
the former doesn't. So use this function if available in initdb, and also
in the backend's pg_flush_data() (where it currently will affect only the
speed of CREATE DATABASE's cloning step).
We will later make pg_regress invoke initdb with the --nosync flag
to avoid slowing down cases such as "make check" in contrib. But
let's not do so until we've shaken out any portability issues in this
patch.

When the internal loop mode was added, freeing memory and closing
filedescriptors before returning became important, and a few cases
in the code missed that.
Fujii Masao
join_path_components() tried to remove leading ".." components from its
tail argument, but it was not nearly bright enough to do so correctly
unless the head argument was (a) absolute and (b) canonicalized.
Rather than try to fix that logic, let's just get rid of it: there is no
correctness reason to remove "..", and cosmetic concerns can be taken
care of by a subsequent canonicalize_path() call. Per bug #6715 from
Greg Davidson.
Back-patch to all supported branches. It appears that pre-9.2, this
function is only used with absolute paths as head arguments, which is why
we'd not noticed the breakage before. However, third-party code might be
expecting this function to work in more general cases, so it seems wise
to back-patch.
In HEAD and 9.2, also make some minor cosmetic improvements to callers.
The old value of 32MB has been around for a very long time, and in the
meantime typical system memories have become vastly larger. Also, now
that we no longer depend on being able to fit the entirety of our
shared memory segment into the system's limit on System V shared
memory, there's a much better chance of the higher limit actually
proving productive.
Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers.
This makes it possible for the master to track how much data has
actually been written my pg_receivexlog - and not just how much
has been sent towards it.
Change things so that something like initdb --auth-local=peer
--auth-host=md5 does not cause a "must specify a password" error,
like initdb -A md5 does.
The xlogid + segno representation of a particular WAL segment doesn't make
much sense in pg_resetxlog anymore, now that we don't use that anywhere
else. Use the WAL filename instead, since that's a convenient way to name a
particular WAL segment.
I did this partially for pg_resetxlog in the original xlogid/segno -> uint64
patch, but I neglected pg_upgrade and the docs. This should now be more
complete.
While pg_dump has included dependency information in archive-format output
ever since 7.3, it never made any large effort to ensure that that
information was actually useful. In particular, in common situations where
dependency chains include objects that aren't separately emitted in the
dump, the dependencies shown for objects that were emitted would reference
the dump IDs of these un-dumped objects, leaving no clue about which other
objects the visible objects indirectly depend on. So far, parallel
pg_restore has managed to avoid tripping over this misfeature, but only
by dint of some crude hacks like not trusting dependency information in
the pre-data section of the archive.
It seems prudent to do something about this before it rises up to bite us,
so instead of emitting the "raw" dependencies of each dumped object,
recursively search for its actual dependencies among the subset of objects
that are being dumped.
Back-patch to 9.2, since that code hasn't yet diverged materially from
HEAD. At some point we might need to back-patch further, but right now
there are no known cases where this is actively necessary. (The one known
case, bug #6699, is fixed in a different way by my previous patch.) Since
this patch depends on 9.2 changes that made TOC entries be marked before
output commences as to whether they'll be dumped, back-patching further
would require additional surgery; and as of now there's no evidence that
it's worth the risk.
As of 9.2, with the --section option, it is very important that the concept
of "pre data", "data", and "post data" sections of the output be honored
strictly; else a dump divided into separate sectional files might be
unrestorable. However, the dependency-sorting logic knew nothing of
sections and would happily select output orderings that didn't fit that
structure. Doing so was mostly harmless before 9.2, but now we need to be
sure it doesn't do that. To fix, create dummy objects representing the
section boundaries and add dependencies between them and all the normal
objects. (This might sound expensive but it seems to only add a percent or
two to pg_dump's runtime.)
This also fixes a problem introduced in 9.1 by the feature that allows
incomplete GROUP BY lists when a primary key is given in GROUP BY.
That means that views can depend on primary key constraints. Previously,
pg_dump would deal with that by simply emitting the primary key constraint
before the view definition (and hence before the data section of the
output). That's bad enough for simple serial restores, where creating an
index before the data is loaded works, but is undesirable for speed
reasons. But it could lead to outright failure of parallel restores, as
seen in bug #6699 from Joe Van Dyk. That happened because pg_restore would
switch into parallel mode as soon as it reached the constraint, and then
very possibly would try to emit the view definition before the primary key
was committed (as a consequence of another bug that causes the view not to
be correctly marked as depending on the constraint). Adding the section
boundary constraints forces the dependency-sorting code to break the view
into separate table and rule declarations, allowing the rule, and hence the
primary key constraint it depends on, to revert to their intended location
in the post-data section. This also somewhat accidentally works around the
bogus-dependency-marking problem, because the rule will be correctly shown
as depending on the constraint, so parallel pg_restore will now do the
right thing. (We will fix the bogus-dependency problem for real in a
separate patch, but that patch is not easily back-portable to 9.1, so the
fact that this patch is enough to dodge the only known symptom is
fortunate.)
Back-patch to 9.1, except for the hunk that adds verification that the
finished archive TOC list is in correct section order; the place where
it was convenient to add that doesn't exist in 9.1.
This simplifies code that needs to do arithmetic on XLogRecPtrs.
To avoid changing on-disk format of data pages, the LSN on data pages is
still stored in the old format. That should keep pg_upgrade happy. However,
we have XLogRecPtrs embedded in the control file, and in the structs that
are sent over the replication protocol, so this changes breaks compatibility
of pg_basebackup and server. I didn't do anything about this in this patch,
per discussion on -hackers, the right thing to do would to be to change the
replication protocol to be architecture-independent, so that you could use
a newer version of pg_receivexlog, for example, against an older server
version.
This saves a few bytes of WAL space, but the real motivation is to make it
predictable how much WAL space a record requires, as it no longer depends
on whether we need to waste the last few bytes at end of WAL page because
the header doesn't fit.
The total length field of WAL record, xl_tot_len, is moved to the beginning
of the WAL record header, so that it is still always found on the first page
where a WAL record begins.
Bump WAL version number again as this is an incompatible change.
The comments claimed that wasting the last segment made it easier to do
calculations with XLogRecPtrs, because you don't have problems representing
last-byte-position-plus-1 that way. In my experience, however, it only made
things more complicated, because the there was two ways to represent the
boundary at the beginning of a logical log file: logid = n+1 and xrecoff = 0,
or as xlogid = n and xrecoff = 4GB - XLOG_SEG_SIZE. Some functions were
picky about which representation was used.
Also, use a 64-bit segment number instead of the log/seg combination, to
point to a certain WAL segment. We assume that all platforms have a working
64-bit integer type nowadays.
This is an incompatible change in WAL format, so bumping WAL version number.
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders. Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.
Commit aaa6e1def2 introduced multiple hazards
in the case where pg_ctl is executed with neither a -D switch nor any
PGDATA environment variable. It would dump core on machines which are
unforgiving about printf("%s", NULL), or failing that possibly give a
rather unhelpful complaint about being unable to execute "postgres -C",
rather than the logically prior complaint about not being told where the
data directory is.
Edmund Horner's report suggests that there is another, Windows-specific
hazard here, but I'm not the person to fix that; it would in any case only
be significant when trying to use a config-only PGDATA pointer.
"pg_dump -Ft -f filename ..." got broken by my recent commit

getopt_long() allows abbreviating long options, so we might as well

This is currently only cosmetic, since all the call sites just curl up
and die in event of a failure return. It might be important for some
future use-case, though, and in any case it quiets warnings from the
clang static analyzer (as reported by Anna Zaks).
Josh Kupershmidt
The initial implementation of pg_dump's --section option supposed that the
existing --schema-only and --data-only options could be made equivalent to
--section settings. This is wrong, though, due to dubious but long since
set-in-stone decisions about where to dump SEQUENCE SET items, as seen in
bug report from Martin Pitt. (And I'm not totally convinced there weren't
other bugs, either.) Undo that coupling and instead drive --section
filtering off current-section state tracked as we scan through the TOC
list to call _tocEntryRequired().
To make sure those decisions don't shift around and hopefully save a few
cycles, run _tocEntryRequired() only once per TOC entry and save the result
in a new TOC field. This required minor rejiggering of ACL handling but
also allows a far cleaner implementation of inhibit_data_for_failed_table.
Also, to ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore have the same behavior with
respect to the --section switches, add _tocEntryRequired() filtering to
WriteToc() and WriteDataChunks(), rather than trying to implement section
filtering in an entirely orthogonal way in dumpDumpableObject(). This
required adjusting the handling of the special ENCODING and STDSTRINGS
items, but they were pretty weird before anyway.
Minor other code review for the patch, too.
This patch fixes three places (which AFAICT is all of them) where runtime
was O(N^2) in the number of TOC entries, by using an index array to replace
linear searches of the TOC list. This performance issue is a bit less bad
than those recently fixed, because it depends on the number of items dumped
not the number in the source database, so the problem can be dodged by
doing partial dumps.
The previous coding already had an instance of one of the two index arrays
needed, but it was only calculated in parallel-restore cases; now we need
it all the time. I also chose to move the arrays into the ArchiveHandle
data structure, to make this code a bit more ready for the day that we
try to sling multiple ArchiveHandles around in pg_dump or pg_restore.
Since we still need some server-side work before pg_dump can really cope
nicely with tens of thousands of tables, there's probably little point in
back-patching.
The previous coding presented a significant bottleneck when dumping
databases containing many thousands of schemas, since the total time
spent searching would increase roughly as O(N^2) in the number of objects.
Noted by Jeff Janes, though I rewrote his proposed patch to use the
existing findObjectByOid infrastructure.
Since this is a longstanding performance bug, backpatch to all supported
versions.
When backing up from a standby server, the backup process
will not automatically switch xlog segment. So we must
accept a partially transferred xlog file in this case, but
rename it into position anyway.
In passing, merge the two callbacks for segment end and
stop stream into a single callback, since their implementations
were close to identical, and rename this callback to
reflect that it stops streaming rather than continues it.

This adds the variable COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, which controls in what case
keywords are completed. This is partially to let users configure the
change from commit 69f4f1c357, but it
also offers more behaviors than were available before.
The original syntax wasn't universally loved, and it didn't allow its
usage in CREATE TABLE, only ALTER TABLE. It now works everywhere, and
it also allows using ALTER TABLE ONLY to add an uninherited CHECK
constraint, per discussion.
The pg_constraint column has accordingly been renamed connoinherit.
This commit partly reverts some of the changes in
61d81bd28d, particularly some pg_dump and
psql bits, because now pg_get_constraintdef includes the necessary NO
INHERIT within the constraint definition.

Some tweaks by me
A number of utility programs were rather careless about paremeters
that can be set via both an option argument and a positional
argument. This leads to results which can violate the Principal
Of Least Astonishment. These changes refuse to use positional
arguments to override settings that have been made via positional
arguments. The changes are backpatched to all live branches.
ANALYZE now accepts foreign tables and allows the table's FDW to control
how the sample rows are collected. (But only manual ANALYZEs will touch
foreign tables, for the moment, since among other things it's not very
clear how to handle remote permissions checks in an auto-analyze.)
contrib/file_fdw is extended to support this.
Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Shigeru Hanada, some further tweaking by me.
Somebody didn't bother to fix this comment while adding foreign table
support to the code below it.
In passing, remove the explicit calling-out of relkind letters, which adds
complexity to the comment but doesn't help in understanding the code.
There is no existing or foreseeable case in which psql should see a
PGRES_COPY_BOTH PQresultStatus; and if such a case ever emerges, it's a
pretty good bet that these code fragments wouldn't do the right thing
anyway. Remove them, and let the existing default cases do the appropriate
thing, namely emit an "unexpected PQresultStatus" bleat.
Noted while working on libpq row processor patch, for which I was
considering adding a PGRES_SUSPENDED status code --- the same default-case
treatment would be appropriate for that.
Combining the loop workspace with the record of already-processed objects
might have been a cute trick, but it behaves horridly if there are many
dependency loops to repair: the time spent in the first step of findLoop()
grows as O(N^2). Instead use a separate flag array indexed by dump ID,
which we can check in constant time. The length of the workspace array
is now never more than the actual length of a dependency chain, which
should be reasonably short in all cases of practical interest. The code
is noticeably easier to understand this way, too.
Per gripe from Mike Roest. Since this is a longstanding performance bug,
backpatch to all supported versions.
The loop that matched owned sequences to their owning tables required time
proportional to number of owned sequences times number of tables; although
this work was only expended in selective-dump situations, which is probably
why the issue wasn't recognized long since. Refactor slightly so that we
can perform this work after the index array for findTableByOid has been
set up, reducing the time to O(M log N).
Per gripe from Mike Roest. Since this is a longstanding performance bug,
backpatch to all supported versions.
ecpg and pg_dump each contain keyword arrays with structure similar
to the backend's keyword array. Up to now, we actually named those
arrays the same as the backend's and relied on parser/keywords.h
to declare them. This seems a tad too cute, though, and it breaks
now that we need to PGDLLIMPORT-decorate the backend symbols.
Rename to avoid the problem. Per buildfarm.
(It strikes me that maybe we should get rid of the separate keywords.c
files altogether, and just define these arrays in the modules that use
them, but that's a rather more invasive change.)
Over-optimization (by me, looks like :-() broke the case of recognizing
a word boundary just before a quoted identifier. Reported and diagnosed

Some of these are newly added, some are older and were forgotten, some
don't contain any translatable strings right now but look like they
could in the future.
Some Windows-only messages had apparently been forgotten so far.
Also make the wording of the messages more consistent with similar
messages other parts, such as pg_ctl and pg_regress.
setlocale() accepts locale name "" as meaning "the locale specified by the
process's environment variables". Historically we've accepted that for
Postgres' locale settings, too. However, it's fairly unsafe to store an
empty string in a new database's pg_database.datcollate or datctype fields,
because then the interpretation could vary across postmaster restarts,
possibly resulting in index corruption and other unpleasantness.
Instead, we should expand "" to whatever it means at the moment of calling
CREATE DATABASE, which we can do by saving the value returned by
setlocale().
For consistency, make initdb set up the initial lc_xxx parameter values the
same way. initdb was already doing the right thing for empty locale names,
but it did not replace non-empty names with setlocale results. On a
platform where setlocale chooses to canonicalize the spellings of locale
names, this would result in annoying inconsistency. (It seems that popular
implementations of setlocale don't do such canonicalization, which is a
pity, but the POSIX spec certainly allows it to be done.) The same risk
of inconsistency leads me to not venture back-patching this, although it
could certainly be seen as a longstanding bug.
Per report from Jeff Davis, though this is not his proposed patch.
Per a suggestion from Euler Taveira, it seems like a good idea to include
this information in \du (and \dg) output. This costs nothing for people
who are not using the VALID UNTIL feature, while for those who are, it's
rather critical information.

For those variables only used when asserts are enabled, use a new
macro PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, which expands to

The prior coding instructs the user to pick an alternative maintenance

The old code was using exit_horribly or die_horribly other depending on
whether it had an ArchiveHandle on which to close the connection or not;
but there were places that were passing a NULL ArchiveHandle to
die_horribly, and other places that used exit_horribly while having an
AH available. So there wasn't all that much consistency.
Improve the situation by keeping only one of the routines, and instead
of having to pass the AH down from the caller, arrange for it to be
present for an on_exit_nicely callback to operate on.

Some tweaks by me
Per a suggestion from Robert Haas, in the ongoing "parallel pg_dump"
saga.
This was for demonstration only, and now it was creating compiler
warnings from zlib without an obvious fix (see also
d923125b77), let's just remove it. The
"directory" format is presumably similar enough anyway.
Although we often don't care about freeing all memory in pg_dump,
these functions already freed the same memory in other code paths, so
we might as well do it consistently.

Multi-line "Inherits:" and "Child tables:" footers were misindented when
those strings' translations involved multibyte characters, because we were
using strlen() instead of an appropriate display width measurement.
In passing, avoid doing gettext() more than once per loop in these places.
While at it, fix pg_wcswidth(), which has been entirely broken since about
8.2, but fortunately has been unused for the same length of time.
Report and patch by Sergey Burladyan (bug #6480)
Due to an apparent thinko, when printing a table in expanded mode
(\x), space would be allocated for 1 slot plus 1 byte per line,
instead of 1 slot per line plus 1 slot for the NULL terminator. When
the line count is small, reading or writing the terminator would
therefore access memory beyond what was allocated.
gzFile is already a pointer, so code like
gzFile *handle = gzopen(...)
is wrong.
This used to pass silently because gzFile used to be defined as void*,
and you can assign a void* to a void**. But somewhere between zlib
versions 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.6, the definition of gzFile was changed to
struct gzFile_s *, and with that new definition this usage causes
compiler warnings.
So remove all those extra pointer decorations.
There is a related issue in pg_backup_archiver.h, where
FILE *FH; /* General purpose file handle */
is used throughout pg_dump as sometimes a real FILE* and sometimes a
gzFile handle, which also causes warnings now. This is not yet fixed
here, because it might need more code restructuring.
Running "psql -f -" used to print
psql:<stdin>:1: ERROR: blah
but that got broken between 8.4 and 9.0 (commit
b291c0fba8), and now it printed
psql:-:1: ERROR: blah
This reverts to the old behavior and cleans up some code that was left
dead or useless by the mentioned commit.
This makes it much more convenient to build tools for Postgres that are
separately compiled and require a matching CRC implementation.
To prevent multiple copies of the CRC polynomial tables being introduced
into the postgres binaries, they are now included in the static library
libpgport that is mainly meant for replacement system functions. That
seems like a bit of a kludge, but there's no better place.
This cleans up building of the tools pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog,
which previously had to build their own copies of pg_crc.o.
In the future, external programs that need access to the CRC tables can
include the tables directly from the new header file pg_crc_tables.h.

psql backslash commands that deal with file or directory names require
quotes around those that have spaces, single quotes, or backslashes.
However, tab-completing such names does not provide said quotes, and is
thus almost useless with them.
This patch fixes the problem by having a wrapper function around
rl_filename_completion_function that dequotes on input and quotes on
output. This eases dealing with such names.

pg_dump was incautious about sanitizing object names that are emitted
within SQL comments in its output script. A name containing a newline
would at least render the script syntactically incorrect. Maliciously
crafted object names could present a SQL injection risk when the script
is reloaded.

Security: CVE-2012-0868
Use exit_horribly() and ExecuteSqlQueryForSingleRow() in various
places where it's equivalent, or nearly equivalent, to the prior
coding. Apart from being more compact, this also makes the error
messages for the wrong-number-of-tuples case more consistent.
Parallel pg_dump wants to have multiple ArchiveHandle objects, and
therefore multiple PGconns, in play at the same time. This should
be just about the end of the refactoring that we need in order to
make that workable.
Any patches apt to get broken have probably already been broken by the
error-handling cleanups I just did, so we might as well clean this up
at the same time.
We don't normally allow quals to be pushed down into a view created
with the security_barrier option, but functions without side effects
are an exception: they're OK. This allows much better performance in
common cases, such as when using an equality operator (that might
even be indexable).
There is an outstanding issue here with the CREATE FUNCTION / ALTER
FUNCTION syntax: there's no way to use ALTER FUNCTION to unset the
leakproof flag. But I'm committing this as-is so that it doesn't
have to be rebased again; we can fix up the grammar in a future
commit.

If an extension has not been selected to be dumped (perhaps because of
a --schema or --table switch), the contents of its configuration tables
surely should not get dumped either. Per gripe from
Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.
In pre-7.3 databases, pg_attribute.attislocal doesn't exist. The easiest
way to make sure the new inheritance logic behaves sanely is to assume it's
TRUE, not FALSE. This will result in printing child columns even when
they're not really needed. We could work harder at trying to reconstruct a
value for attislocal, but there is little evidence that anyone still cares
about dumping from such old versions, so just do the minimum necessary to
have a valid dump.
I had this correct in the original draft of the patch, but for some
unaccountable reason decided it wasn't necessary to change the value.
Testing against an old server shows otherwise...
Revise pg_dump's handling of inherited columns, which was last looked at
seriously in 2001, to eliminate several misbehaviors associated with
inherited default expressions and NOT NULL flags. In particular make sure
that a column is printed in a child table's CREATE TABLE command if and
only if it has attislocal = true; the former behavior would sometimes cause
a column to become marked attislocal when it was not so marked in the
source database. Also, stop relying on textual comparison of default
expressions to decide if they're inherited; instead, don't use
default-expression inheritance at all, but just install the default
explicitly at each level of the hierarchy. This fixes the
search-path-related misbehavior recently exhibited by Chester Young, and
also removes some dubious assumptions about the order in which ALTER TABLE
SET DEFAULT commands would be executed.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Add new psql settings and command-line options to support setting the
field and record separators for unaligned output to a zero byte, for
easier interfacing with other shell tools.

Various filters that were meant to prevent dumping of table data were not
being applied to extension config tables, notably --exclude-table-data and
--no-unlogged-table-data. We also would bogusly try to dump data from
views, sequences, or foreign tables, should an extension try to claim they
were config tables. Fix all that, and refactor/redocument to try to make
this a bit less fragile. This reverts the implementation, though not the
feature, of commit 7b070e896c, which had
broken config-table dumping altogether :-(.
It is still the case that the code will dump config-table data even if
--schema is specified. That behavior was intentional, as per the comments
in getExtensionMembership, so I think it requires some more discussion
before we change it.
This is another round of refactoring to make things simpler for parallel
pg_dump. pg_dump.c now issues SQL queries through the relevant Archive
object, rather than relying on the global variable g_conn. This commit
isn't quite enough to get rid of g_conn entirely, but it makes a big
dent in its utilization and, along the way, manages to be slightly less
code than before.
Do not prompt when options were not specified. Assume --no-createdb,
--no-createrole, --no-superuser by default.
Also disable prompting for user name in dropdb, unless --interactive
was specified.

Instead, everything that needs the Archive object now gets it as a
parameter. This is necessary infrastructure for parallel pg_dump,
but is also amply justified by the ugliness of the current code
(though a lot more than this is needed to fix that problem).
Change various places in the code that are referencing the global
Archive object g_fout to instead reference the Archive object fout
which is already being passed as a parameter. For parallel pg_dump to
work, we're going to need multiple Archive(Handle) objects, so the
real solution here is to pass down the Archive object to everywhere
that it needs to go, but we might as well pick the low-hanging fruit
first.
Parallel dump will need to repeat these steps for each new connection,
so it's better to have this logic in its own function.
Extracted (with some changes) from a much larger patch
by Joachim Wieland.
This enables a bunch of features, notably ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK. It also
makes COPY failure (either in the server or psql) as a whole behave more
sanely in psql.
Additionally, having more commands in the same command line as COPY
works better (though since psql splits lines at semicolons, this doesn't
matter much unless you're using -c).
Also tighten a couple of switches on PQresultStatus() to add
PGRES_COPY_BOTH support and stop assuming that unknown statuses received
are errors; have those print diagnostics where warranted.

Base backup follows recommended procedure, plus goes to great
lengths to ensure that partial page writes are avoided.
Jun Ishizuka and Fujii Masao, with minor modifications
Teach pg_basebackup in streaming mode to deal with keepalive messages.
Also change the order of checks to complain at the message rather than
block size when a new message is introduced.
In passing, switch to using sizeof() instead of hardcoded sizes for
WAL protocol structs.
In commit 6545a901aa, I removed the mini SQL
lexer that was in pg_backup_db.c, thinking that it had no real purpose
beyond separating COPY data from SQL commands, which purpose had been
obsoleted by long-ago fixes in pg_dump's archive file format.
Unfortunately this was in error: that code was also used to identify
command boundaries in INSERT-style table data, which is run together as a
single string in the archive file for better compressibility. As a result,
direct-to-database restores from archive files made with --inserts or
--column-inserts fail in our latest releases, as reported by Dick Visser.
To fix, restore the mini SQL lexer, but simplify it by adjusting the
calling logic so that it's only required to cope with INSERT-style table
data, not arbitrary SQL commands. This allows us to not have to deal with
SQL comments, E'' strings, or dollar-quoted strings, none of which have
ever been emitted by dumpTableData_insert.
Also, fix the lexer to cope with standard-conforming strings, which was the
actual bug that the previous patch was meant to solve.
Back-patch to all supported branches. The previous patch went back to 8.2,
which unfortunately means that the EOL release of 8.2 contains this bug,
but I don't think we're doing another 8.2 release just because of that.
pg_dump sorts operators by name, but operators with the same name come
out in random order. Now operators with the same name are dumped in
the order prefix, postfix, infix. (This is consistent with functions,
which are dumped in increasing number of argument order.)
All supported platforms support the C89 standard function atexit()
(SunOS 4 probably being the last one not to), and supporting both
makes the code clumsy.
