Like the XML data type, we simply store JSON data as text, after checking
that it is valid. More complex operations such as canonicalization and
comparison may come later, but this is enough for not.
There are a few open issues here, such as whether we should attempt to
detect UTF-8 surrogate pairs represented as \uXXXX\uYYYY, but this gets
the basic framework in place.
In commit 57664ed25e, I made the planner
wrap non-simple-variable outputs of appendrel children (IOW, child SELECTs
of UNION ALL subqueries) inside PlaceHolderVars, in order to solve some
issues with EquivalenceClass processing. However, this means that any
upper-level WHERE clauses mentioning such outputs will now contain
PlaceHolderVars after they're pushed down into the appendrel child,
and that prevents indxpath.c from recognizing that they could be matched
to index expressions. To fix, add explicit stripping of PlaceHolderVars
from index operands, same as we have long done for RelabelType nodes.
Add a regression test covering both this and the plain-UNION case (which
is a totally different code path, but should also be able to do it).
Per bug #6416 from Matteo Beccati. Back-patch to 9.1, same as the
previous change.
Formerly we passed an empty list to each per-child-table invocation of
grouping_planner, and then merged the results into the global list.
However, that fails if there's a CTE attached to the statement, because
create_ctescan_plan uses the list to find the plan referenced by a CTE
reference; so it was unable to find any CTEs attached to the outer UPDATE
or DELETE. But there's no real reason not to use the same list throughout
the process, and doing so is simpler and faster anyway.
Per report from Josh Berkus of "could not find plan for CTE" failures.
Back-patch to 9.1 where we added support for WITH attached to UPDATE or
DELETE. Add some regression test cases, too.
Hitherto, the information schema only showed explicitly granted
privileges that were visible in the *acl catalog columns. If no
privileges had been granted, the implicit privileges were not shown.
To fix that, add an SQL-accessible version of the acldefault()
function, and use that inside the aclexplode() calls to substitute the
catalog-specific default privilege set for null values.

Rip out a regression test that doesn't play well with settings put in
place by the build farm, and rewrite the code in CheckIndexCompatible
in a hopefully more transparent style.
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.

This gives up the "don't rewrite the index" behavior in a couple of
relatively unimportant cases, such as changing between an array type

making this code more future-proof.

Drop the role we create, so regression tests pass even when run more
than once against the same cluster, a problem noted by Tom Lane and
Jeff Janes. Also, rename the temporary role so that it starts with
"regress_", to make it unlikely that we'll collide with an existing
role name while running "make installcheck", per further gripe from
Tom Lane.
This separates the state (running/idle/idleintransaction etc) into
it's own field ("state"), and leaves the query field containing just
query text.
The query text will now mean "current query" when a query is running
and "last query" in other states. Accordingly,the field has been
renamed from current_query to query.
Since backwards compatibility was broken anyway to make that, the procpid
field has also been renamed to pid - along with the same field in
pg_stat_replication for consistency.

The originally-chosen test case gives different results in es_EC locale
because of unusual rule for sorting strings beginning with "LL". Adjust
the comparison value to avoid that, while hopefully not introducing new
locale dependencies elsewhere. Per report from Jaime Casanova.
The original implementation of this interpreted it as a kind of
"inheritance" facility and named all the internal structures
accordingly. This turned out to be very confusing, because it has
nothing to do with the INHERITS feature. So rename all the internal
parser infrastructure, update the comments, adjust the error messages,
and split up the regression tests.
ALTER DOMAIN / DROP CONSTRAINT on a nonexistent constraint name did
not report any error. Now it reports an error. The IF EXISTS option
was added to get the usual behavior of ignoring nonexistent objects to
drop.
As previously coded, the QueryDesc's dest pointer was left dangling
(pointing at an already-freed receiver object) after ExecutorEnd. It's a
bit astonishing that it took us this long to notice, and I'm not sure that
the known problem case with SQL functions is the only one. Fix it by
saving and restoring the original receiver pointer, which seems the most
bulletproof way of ensuring any related bugs are also covered.
Per bug #6379 from Paul Ramsey. Back-patch to 8.4 where the current
handling of SELECT INTO was introduced.
Because coerce_type recurses into the argument of a CollateExpr,
coerce_to_target_type's longstanding code for detecting whether coerce_type
had actually done anything (to wit, returned a different node than it
passed in) was broken in 9.1. This resulted in unexpected failures in
hide_coercion_node; which was not the latter's fault, since it's critical
that we never call it on anything that wasn't inserted by coerce_type.
(Else we might decide to "hide" a user-written function call.)
Fix by removing and replacing the CollateExpr in coerce_to_target_type
itself. This is all pretty ugly but I don't immediately see a way to make
it nicer.
Per report from Jean-Yves F. Barbier.
The original test cases gave varying results depending on whether the
locale sorts digits before or after letters. Since that's not really
what we wish to test here, adjust the test data to not contain any strings
beginning with digits. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
It's potentially useful for an index to repeat the same indexable column
or expression in multiple index columns, if the columns have different
opclasses. (If they share opclasses too, the duplicate column is pretty
useless, but nonetheless we've allowed such cases since 9.0.) However,
the planner failed to cope with this, because createplan.c was relying on
simple equal() matching to figure out which index column each index qual
is intended for. We do have that information available upstream in
indxpath.c, though, so the fix is to not flatten the multi-level indexquals
list when putting it into an IndexPath. Then we can rely on the sublist
structure to identify target index columns in createplan.c. There's a
similar issue for index ORDER BYs (the KNNGIST feature), so introduce a
multi-level-list representation for that too. This adds a bit more
representational overhead, but we might more or less buy that back by not
having to search for matching index columns anymore in createplan.c;
likewise btcostestimate saves some cycles.
Per bug #6351 from Christian Rudolph. Likely symptoms include the "btree
index keys must be ordered by attribute" failure shown there, as well as
"operator MMMM is not a member of opfamily NNNN".
Although this is a pre-existing problem that can be demonstrated in 9.0 and
9.1, I'm not going to back-patch it, because the API changes in the planner
seem likely to break things such as index plugins. The corner cases where
this matters seem too narrow to justify possibly breaking things in a minor
release.
When a view is marked as a security barrier, it will not be pulled up
into the containing query, and no quals will be pushed down into it,
so that no function or operator chosen by the user can be applied to
rows not exposed by the view. Views not configured with this
option cannot provide robust row-level security, but will perform far
better.

others. Design advice by Tom Lane and myself. Further review and
cleanup by me.
You could already rename domains using ALTER TYPE, but with this new
command it is more consistent with how other commands treat domains as
a subcategory of types.
The original coding of this function overlooked the possibility that
it could be passed anything except simple OpExpr indexquals. But
ScalarArrayOpExpr is possible too, and the code would probably crash
(and surely give ridiculous answers) in such a case. Add logic to try
to estimate sanely for such cases.
In passing, fix the treatment of inner-indexscan cost estimation: it was
failing to scale up properly for multiple iterations of a nestloop.
(I think somebody might've thought that index_pages_fetched() is linear,
but of course it's not.)
Report, diagnosis, and preliminary patch by Marti Raudsepp; I refactored
it a bit and fixed the cost estimation.
Back-patch into 9.1 where the bogus code was introduced.
This adds support for the more or less SQL-conforming USAGE privilege
on types and domains. The intent is to be able restrict which users
can create dependencies on types, which restricts the way in which
owners can alter types.

Operator classes can specify whether or not they support this; this
preserves the flexibility to use lossy representations within an index.
In passing, move constant data about a given index into the rd_amcache
cache area, instead of doing fresh lookups each time we start an index
operation. This is mainly to try to make sure that spgcanreturn() has
insignificant cost; I still don't have any proof that it matters for
actual index accesses. Also, get rid of useless copying of FmgrInfo
pointers; we can perfectly well use the relcache's versions in-place.
These entries could never be matched to an index clause because they don't
have the index datatype on the left-hand side of the operator. (Their
commutators are in the opclass, which is sensible, but that doesn't mean
these operators should be.) Spotted by a test that I recently added to
opr_sanity to catch exactly this type of thinko. AFAICT there is no code
in gistproc.c that is specifically meant to cover these cases, so nothing
to remove at that level.
SP-GiST is comparable to GiST in flexibility, but supports non-balanced
partitioned search structures rather than balanced trees. As described at
PGCon 2011, this new indexing structure can beat GiST in both index build
time and query speed for search problems that it is well matched to.
There are a number of areas that could still use improvement, but at this
point the code seems committable.

This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally
provide non-SQL-callable support functions for sorting. In the initial
patch, we only use this to provide a directly-callable comparator function,
which can be invoked with a bit less overhead than the traditional
SQL-callable comparator. While that should be of value in itself, the real
reason for doing this is to provide a datatype-extensible framework for
more aggressive optimizations, as in Peter Geoghegan's recent work.

Since record[] uses array_in, it needs to have its element type passed
as typioparam. In HEAD and 9.1, this fix essentially reverts commit
9bc933b212, which was a hack that is no
longer needed since domains don't set their typelem anymore. Before
that, adjust the logic so that only domains are excluded from being
treated like arrays, rather than assuming that only base types should
be included. Add a regression test to demonstrate the need for this.
Per report from Maxim Boguk.
Back-patch to 8.4, where type record[] was added.
This should make it easier to identify which row is problematic when an
insert or update is processing many rows.
The formatting is similar to that for unique-index violation messages,
except that we limit field widths to 64 bytes since otherwise the message
could get unreasonably long. (In particular, there's currently no attempt
to quote or escape field values that contain commas etc.)
Jan Kundrát, reviewed by Royce Ausburn, somewhat rewritten by me.
In the original implementation, a range-contained-by search had to scan
the entire index because an empty range could be lurking anywhere.
Improve that by adding a flag to upper GiST entries that says whether the
represented subtree contains any empty ranges.
Also, make a simple mod to the penalty function to discourage empty ranges
from getting pushed into subtrees without any. This needs more work, and
the picksplit function should be taught about it too, but that code can be
improved without causing an on-disk compatibility break; so we'll leave it
for another day.
Since we're breaking on-disk compatibility of range values anyway, I took
the opportunity to reorganize the range flags bits; the unused
RANGE_xB_NULL bits are now adjacent, which might open the door for using
them in some other way later.
In passing, remove the GiST range opclass entry for <>, which doesn't seem
like it can really be indexed usefully.
Alexander Korotkov, with some editorializing by Tom
Per discussion, the zero-argument forms aren't really worth the catalog
space (just write 'empty' instead). The one-argument forms have some use,
but they also have a serious problem with looking too much like functional
cast notation; to the point where in many real use-cases, the parser would
misinterpret what was wanted.
Committing this as a separate patch, with the thought that we might want
to revert part or all of it if we can think of some way around the cast
ambiguity.
Implement these tests directly instead of constructing a singleton range
and then applying range-contains. This saves a range serialize/deserialize
cycle as well as a couple of redundant bound-comparison steps, and adds
very little code on net.
Remove elem_contained_by_range from the GiST opclass: it doesn't belong
there because there is no way to use it in an index clause (where the
indexed column would have to be on the left). Its commutator is in the
opclass, and that's what counts.
In the normal course of events, this matters only if ALTER DEFAULT
PRIVILEGES has been used to revoke default INSERT permission. Whether
or not the new behavior is more or less likely to be what the user wants
when dealing only with the built-in privilege facilities is arguable,
but it's clearly better when using a loadable module such as sepgsql
that may use the hook in ExecCheckRTPerms to enforce additional
permissions checks.
KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Albe Laurenz
Per discussion, relax the range input/construction rules so that the
only hard error is lower bound > upper bound. Cases where the lower
bound is <= upper bound, but the range nonetheless normalizes to empty,
are now permitted.
Fix core dump in range_adjacent when bounds are infinite. Marginal
cleanup of regression test cases, some more code commenting.
Fix up some infelicitous coding in DefineRange, and add some missing error
checks. Rearrange operator strategy number assignments for GiST anyrange
opclass so that they don't make such a mess of opr_sanity's table of
operator names associated with different strategy numbers. Assign
hopefully-temporary selectivity estimators to range operators that didn't
have one --- poor as the estimates are, they're still a lot better than the
default 0.5 estimate, and they'll shut up the opr_sanity test that wants to
see selectivity estimators on all built-in operators.
This gets rid of an impressive amount of duplicative code, with only
minimal behavior changes. DROP FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER now requires object
ownership rather than superuser privileges, matching the documentation
we already have. We also eliminate the historical warning about dropping
a built-in function as unuseful. All operations are now performed in the
same order for all object types handled by dropcmds.c.
KaiGai Kohei, with minor revisions by me
Use of anynonarray was a crude hack to get around ambiguity versus the
array inclusion operators of the same names. My previous patch to extend
the parser's type resolution heuristics makes that unnecessary, so use
the more general declaration instead. This eliminates a wart that these
operators couldn't be used with ranges over arrays, which are otherwise
supported just fine.
Also, mark range_before and range_after as commutator operators,
per discussion with Jeff Davis.
