Robert Haas 9d35116611 Damage control for yesterday's CheckIndexCompatible changes.
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.

Alvaro Herrera 08146775ac Have \copy go through SendQuery
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.

Robert Haas 6eb71ac552 Make CheckIndexCompatible simpler and more bullet-proof.
This gives up the "don't rewrite the index" behavior in a couple of
relatively unimportant cases, such as changing between an array type
and an unconstrained domain over that array type, in return for
making this code more future-proof.

Robert Haas 49562f5eb6 Adjustments to regression tests for security_barrier views.
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

Magnus Hagander 4f42b546fd Separate state from query string in pg_stat_activity
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.

Peter Eisentraut db49517c62 Rename the internal structures of the CREATE TABLE (LIKE ...) facility
The original implementation of this interpreted it as a kind of

nothing to do with the INHERITS feature.  So rename all the internal

As previously coded, the QueryDesc's dest pointer was left dangling

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

bulletproof way of ensuring any related bugs are also covered.

Tom Lane ac7a5a3f25 Fix coerce_to_target_type for coerce_type's klugy handling of COLLATE.
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.

Tom Lane e2c2c2e8b1 Improve planner's handling of duplicated index column expressions.
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.

The original coding of this function overlooked the possibility that

(and surely give ridiculous answers) in such a case.  Add logic to try
to estimate sanely for such cases.

Tom Lane 9220362493 Teach SP-GiST to do index-only scans.
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

Tom Lane 5577ca5bfb Remove bogus entries in gist point_ops operator class.
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

Tom Lane c6e3ac11b6 Create a "sort support" interface API for faster sorting.
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.

Tom Lane 65d9aedb1b Fix getTypeIOParam to support type record[].
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.

Tom Lane c66e4f138b Improve GiST range-contained-by searches by adding a flag for empty ranges.
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.

Remove elem_contained_by_range from the GiST opclass: it doesn't belong

Tom Lane ad50934eaa Fix alignment and toasting bugs in range types.
A range type whose element type has 'd' alignment must have 'd' alignment
itself, else there is no guarantee that the element value can be used
in-place.  (Because range_deserialize uses att_align_pointer which forcibly
aligns the given pointer, violations of this rule did not lead to SIGBUS
but rather to garbage data being extracted, as in one of the added
regression test cases.)

Also, you can't put a toast pointer inside a range datum, since the
referenced value could disappear with the range datum still present.
For consistency with the handling of arrays and records, I also forced
decompression of in-line-compressed bound values.  It would work to store
them as-is, but our policy is to avoid situations that might result in
double compression.

The original definition is unnecessarily difficult to use, and also can

estimates.  (This was, in fact, the cause of repeatable regression test
failures on buildfarm member jaguar, as well as intermittent failures
elsewhere.)

drastically changing its behavior.  Per report from Teodor Sigaev.

The only currently known consequence of this bug is "MergeAppend child's
targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend" planner failures in 9.1 and later.
I am suspicious that there may be other failure modes that could affect
older release branches; but in the absence of any hard evidence, I'll
refrain from back-patching further than 9.1.

Tom Lane 7e3bf99baa Fix handling of PlaceHolderVars in nestloop parameter management.
If we use a PlaceHolderVar from the outer relation in an inner indexscan,
we need to reference the PlaceHolderVar as such as the value to be passed
in from the outer relation.  The previous code effectively tried to
reconstruct the PHV from its component expression, which doesn't work since
(a) the Vars therein aren't necessarily bubbled up far enough, and (b) it
would be the wrong semantics anyway because of the possibility that the PHV
is supposed to have gone to null at some point before the current join.
Point (a) led to "variable not found in subplan target list" planner
errors, but point (b) would have led to silently wrong answers.

Tom Lane 882368e854 Fix btree stop-at-nulls logic properly.
As pointed out by Naoya Anzai, my previous try at this was a few bricks
shy of a load, because I had forgotten that the initial-positioning logic
might not try to skip over nulls at the end of the index the scan will
start from.  We ought to fix that, because it represents an unnecessary
inefficiency, but first let's get the scan-stop logic back to a safe
state.  With this patch, we preserve the performance benefit requested
in bug #6278 for the case of scanning forward into NULLs (in a NULLS
LAST index), but the reverse case of scanning backward across NULLs
when there's no suitable initial-positioning qual is still inefficient.

Tom Lane 58958726ff Change FK trigger creation order to better support self-referential FKs.
When a foreign-key constraint references another column of the same table,
row updates will queue both the PK's ON UPDATE action and the FK's CHECK
action in the same event.  The ON UPDATE action must execute first, else
the CHECK will check a non-final state of the row and possibly throw an
inappropriate error, as seen in bug #6268 from Roman Lytovchenko.

Now, the firing order of multiple triggers for the same event is determined
by the sort order of their pg_trigger.tgnames, and the auto-generated names
we use for FK triggers are "RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN" where NNNN is the
trigger OID.  So most of the time the firing order is the same as creation
order, and so rearranging the creation order fixes it.

This patch will fail to fix the problem if the OID counter wraps around or
adds a decimal digit (eg, from 99999 to 100000) while we are creating the
triggers for an FK constraint.  Given the small odds of that, and the low
usage of self-referential FKs, we'll live with that solution in the back
branches.  A better fix is to change the auto-generated names for FK
triggers, but it seems unwise to do that in stable branches because there
may be client code that depends on the naming convention.  We'll fix it
that way in HEAD in a separate patch.

Back-patch to all supported branches, since this bug has existed for a long
time.

Tom Lane e6858e6657 Measure the number of all-visible pages for use in index-only scan costing.
Add a column pg_class.relallvisible to remember the number of pages that
were all-visible according to the visibility map as of the last VACUUM
(or ANALYZE, or some other operations that update pg_class.relpages).
Use relallvisible/relpages, instead of an arbitrary constant, to estimate
how many heap page fetches can be avoided during an index-only scan.

This is pretty primitive and will no doubt see refinements once we've
acquired more field experience with the index-only scan mechanism, but
it's way better than using a constant.

Note: I had to adjust an underspecified query in the window.sql regression
test, because it was changing answers when the plan changed to use an
index-only scan.  Some of the adjacent tests perhaps should be adjusted
as well, but I didn't do that here.

Robert Haas c0f03aae04 Fix ALTER TABLE ONLY .. DROP CONSTRAINT.
When I consolidated two copies of the HOT-chain search logic in commit
4da99ea423, I introduced a behavior
change: the old code wouldn't necessarily traverse the entire chain,
if the most recently returned tuple were updated while the HOT chain
traversal is in progress.  The new behavior seems more correct, but
unfortunately, the code here relies on a scan with SnapshotNow failing
to see its own updates.  That seems pretty shaky even with the old HOT
chain traversal behavior, since there's no guarantee that these
updates will always be HOT, but it's trivial to broke a failure with
the new HOT search logic.  Fix by updating just the first matching
pg_constraint tuple, rather than all of them, since there should be
only one anyway.  But since nobody has reproduced this failure on older
versions, no back-patch for now.

on the previous patches that made the visibility map reliable.

There's a fair amount left to do here, notably trying to figure out a less

Tom Lane 269c5dd2f4 Fix window functions that sort by expressions involving aggregates.
In commit c1d9579dd8, I changed things so
that the output of the Agg node that feeds the window functions would not
list any ungrouped Vars directly.  Formerly, for example, the Agg tlist
might have included both "x" and "sum(x)", which is not really valid if
"x" isn't a grouping column.  If we then had a window function ordering on
something like "sum(x) + 1", prepare_sort_from_pathkeys would find no exact
match for this in the Agg tlist, and would conclude that it must recompute
the expression.  But it would break the expression down to just the Var
"x", which it would find in the tlist, and then rebuild the ORDER BY
expression using a reference to the subplan's "x" output.  Now, after the
above-referenced changes, "x" isn't in the Agg tlist if it's not a grouping
column, so that prepare_sort_from_pathkeys fails with "could not find
pathkey item to sort", as reported by Bricklen Anderson.

The fix is to not break down Aggrefs into their component parts, but just
treat them as irreducible expressions to be sought in the subplan tlist.
This is definitely OK for the use with respect to window functions in
grouping_planner, since it just built the tlist being used on the same
basis.  AFAICT it is safe for other uses too; most of the other call sites
couldn't encounter Aggrefs anyway.

Tom Lane e6faf910d7 Redesign the plancache mechanism for more flexibility and efficiency.
Rewrite plancache.c so that a "cached plan" (which is rather a misnomer
at this point) can support generation of custom, parameter-value-dependent
plans, and can make an intelligent choice between using custom plans and
the traditional generic-plan approach.  The specific choice algorithm
implemented here can probably be improved in future, but this commit is
all about getting the mechanism in place, not the policy.

In addition, restructure the API to greatly reduce the amount of extraneous
data copying needed.  The main compromise needed to make that possible was
to split the initial creation of a CachedPlanSource into two steps.  It's
worth noting in particular that SPI_saveplan is now deprecated in favor of
SPI_keepplan, which accomplishes the same end result with zero data
copying, and no need to then spend even more cycles throwing away the
original SPIPlan.  The risk of long-term memory leaks while manipulating
SPIPlans has also been greatly reduced.  Most of this improvement is based
on use of the recently-added MemoryContextSetParent primitive.

Tom Lane cacd42d62c Rewrite libxml error handling to be more robust.
libxml reports some errors (like invalid xmlns attributes) via the error
handler hook, but still returns a success indicator to the library caller.
This causes us to miss some errors that are important to report.  Since the
"generic" error handler hook doesn't know whether the message it's getting
is for an error, warning, or notice, stop using that and instead start
using the "structured" error handler hook, which gets enough information
to be useful.

While at it, arrange to save and restore the error handler hook setting in
each libxml-using function, rather than assuming we can set and forget the
hook.  This should improve the odds of working nicely with third-party
libraries that also use libxml.

In passing, volatile-ize some local variables that get modified within
PG_TRY blocks.  I noticed this while testing with an older gcc version
than I'd previously tried to compile xml.c with.

Alvaro Herrera c8dfc89232 Make isolationtester more robust on locked commands
Noah Misch diagnosed the buildfarm problems in the isolation tests
partly as failure to differentiate backends properly; the old code was
using backend IDs, which is not good enough because a new backend might
use an already used ID.  Use PIDs instead.

Also, the code was purposely careless about other concurrent activity,
because it isn't expected; and in fact, it doesn't affect the vast
majority of the time.  However, it can be observed that autovacuum can
block tables for long enough to cause sporadic failures.  The new code
accounts for that by ignoring locks held by processes not explicitly
declared in our spec file.

When an AccessShareLock, RowShareLock, or RowExclusiveLock is requested
on an unshared database relation, and we can verify that no conflicting
locks can possibly be present, record the lock in a per-backend queue,
stored within the PGPROC, rather than in the primary lock table.  This
eliminates a great deal of contention on the lock manager LWLocks.

This patch also refactors the interface between GetLockStatusData() and
pg_lock_status() to be a bit more abstract, so that we don't rely so
heavily on the lock manager's internal representation details.  The new
fast path lock structures don't have a LOCK or PROCLOCK structure to

Tom Lane c1d9579dd8 Avoid listing ungrouped Vars in the targetlist of Agg-underneath-Window.
Regular aggregate functions in combination with, or within the arguments
of, window functions are OK per spec; they have the semantics that the
aggregate output rows are computed and then we run the window functions
over that row set.  (Thus, this combination is not really useful unless
there's a GROUP BY so that more than one aggregate output row is possible.)
The case without GROUP BY could fail, as recently reported by Jeff Davis,
because sloppy construction of the Agg node's targetlist resulted in extra
references to possibly-ungrouped Vars appearing outside the aggregate
function calls themselves.  See the added regression test case for an
example.

Fixing this requires modifying the API of flatten_tlist and its underlying
function pull_var_clause.  I chose to make pull_var_clause's API for
aggregates identical to what it was already doing for placeholders, since
the useful behaviors turn out to be the same (error, report node as-is, or
recurse into it).  I also tightened the error checking in this area a bit:
if it was ever valid to see an uplevel Var, Aggref, or PlaceHolderVar here,
that was a long time ago, so complain instead of ignoring them.

Backpatch into 9.1.  The failure exists in 8.4 and 9.0 as well, but seeing
that it only occurs in a basically-useless corner case, it doesn't seem
worth the risks of changing a function API in a minor release.  There might
be third-party code using pull_var_clause.

Alvaro Herrera 846af54dd5 Add support for blocked commands in isolationtester
This enables us to test that blocking commands (such as foreign keys
checks that conflict with some other lock) act as intended.  The set of
tests that this adds is pretty minimal, but can easily be extended by
adding new specs.

The intention is that this will serve as a basis for ensuring that
further tweaks of locking implementation preserve (or improve) existing
behavior.

Heikki Linnakangas 928408d9e5 Fix a bug with SSI and prepared transactions:
If there's a dangerous structure T0 ---> T1 ---> T2, and T2 commits first,
we need to abort something. If T2 commits before both conflicts appear,
then it should be caught by OnConflict_CheckForSerializationFailure. If
both conflicts appear before T2 commits, it should be caught by
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure. But that is actually run when
T2 *prepares*. Fix that in OnConflict_CheckForSerializationFailure, by
treating a prepared T2 as if it committed already.

This is mostly a problem for prepared transactions, which are in prepared
state for some time, but also for regular transactions because they also go
through the prepared state in the SSI code for a short moment when they're
committed.

Robert Haas 5da79169d3 Fix bugs in relpersistence handling during table creation.
Unlike the relistemp field which it replaced, relpersistence must be
set correctly quite early during the table creation process, as we
rely on it quite early on for a number of purposes, including security
checks.  Normally, this is set based on whether the user enters CREATE
TABLE, CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE, or CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE, but a
relation may also be made implicitly temporary by creating it in
pg_temp.  This patch fixes the handling of that case, and also
disables creation of unlogged tables in temporary tablespace (such
table indeed skip WAL-logging, but we reject an explicit
specification) and creation of relations in the temporary schemas of
other sessions (which is not very sensible, and didn't work right
anyway).

Alvaro Herrera 897795240c Enable CHECK constraints to be declared NOT VALID
This means that they can initially be added to a large existing table
without checking its initial contents, but new tuples must comply to
them; a separate pass invoked by ALTER TABLE / VALIDATE can verify
existing data and ensure it complies with the constraint, at which point
it is marked validated and becomes a normal part of the table ecosystem.

An non-validated CHECK constraint is ignored in the planner for
constraint_exclusion purposes; when validated, cached plans are
recomputed so that partitioning starts working right away.

This patch also enables domains to have unvalidated CHECK constraints
attached to them as well by way of ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT / NOT
VALID, which can later be validated with ALTER DOMAIN / VALIDATE
CONSTRAINT.

Thanks to Thom Brown, Dean Rasheed and Jaime Casanova for the various
reviews, and Robert Hass for documentation wording improvement
suggestions.

Such a condition is unsatisfiable in combination with any other type of
btree-indexable condition (since we assume btree operators are always
strict).  8.3 and 8.4 had an explicit test for this, which I removed in
commit 29c4ad9829, mistakenly thinking that
the case would be subsumed by the more general handling of IS (NOT) NULL
added in that patch.  Put it back, and improve the comments about it, and

Tom Lane cd1f0d04bf Fix thinko in previous patch for optimizing EXISTS-within-EXISTS.
When recursing after an optimization in pull_up_sublinks_qual_recurse, the
available_rels value passed down must include only the relations that are
in the righthand side of the new SEMI or ANTI join; it's incorrect to pull
up a sub-select that refers to other relations, as seen in the added test
case.  Per report from BangarRaju Vadapalli.

While at it, rethink the idea of recursing below a NOT EXISTS.  That is
essentially the same situation as pulling up ANY/EXISTS sub-selects that
are in the ON clause of an outer join, and it has the same disadvantage:
we'd force the two joins to be evaluated according to the syntactic nesting
order, because the lower join will most likely not be able to commute with
the ANTI join.  That could result in having to form a rather large join
product, whereas the handling of a correlated subselect is not quite that
dumb.  So until we can handle those cases better, #ifdef NOT_USED that
case.  (I think it's okay to pull up in the EXISTS/ANY cases, because SEMI
joins aren't so inflexible about ordering.)

Back-patch to 8.4, same as for previous patch in this area.  Fortunately
that patch hadn't made it into any shipped releases yet.

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".  We still lack consensus about what
to do with ANYELEMENT; but not matching ANYARRAY is a clear loss of
functionality compared to prior releases, so let's go ahead and make that
happen.  Per complaint from Regina Obe and extensive subsequent discussion.

Tom Lane fc1286d3cb Fix rewriter to cope (more or less) with CTEs in the query being rewritten.
Since the original implementation of CTEs only allowed them in SELECT
queries, the rule rewriter did not expect to find any CTEs in statements
being rewritten by ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rules.  We had dealt with this
to some extent but the code was still several bricks shy of a load, as
illustrated in bug #6051 from Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais.

In particular, we have to be able to copy CTEs from the original query's
cteList into that of a rule action, in case the rule action references the
CTE (which it pretty much always will).  This also implies we were doing
things in the wrong order in RewriteQuery: we have to recursively rewrite
the CTE queries before expanding the main query, so that we have the
rewritten queries available to copy.

There are unpleasant limitations yet to resolve here, but at least we now
throw understandable FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED errors for them instead of just
failing with bizarre implementation-dependent errors.  In particular, we
can't handle propagating the same CTE into multiple post-rewrite queries
(because then the CTE would be evaluated multiple times), and we can't cope
with conflicts between CTE names in the original query and in the rule
actions.

Tom Lane ea8e42f3a0 Fix failure to check whether a rowtype's component types are sortable.
The existence of a btree opclass accepting composite types caused us to
assume that every composite type is sortable.  This isn't true of course;
we need to check if the column types are all sortable.  There was logic
for this for the case of array comparison (ie, check that the element
type is sortable), but we missed the point for rowtypes.  Per Teodor's
report of an ANALYZE failure for an unsortable composite type.

Rather than just add some more ad-hoc logic for this, I moved knowledge of
the issue into typcache.c.  The typcache will now only report out array_eq,
record_cmp, and friends as usable operators if the array or composite type
will work with those functions.

Unfortunately we don't have enough info to do this for anonymous RECORD
types; in that case, just assume it will work, and take the runtime failure
as before if it doesn't.

This patch might be a candidate for back-patching at some point, but
given the lack of complaints from the field, I'd rather just test it in
HEAD for now.

Note: most of the places touched in this patch will need further work
when we get around to supporting hashing of record types.

Tom Lane aff97b1f4e Handle domains when checking for recursive inclusion of composite types.
We need this now because we allow domains over arrays, and we'll probably
allow domains over composites pretty soon, which makes the problem even
more obvious.

Although domains over arrays also exist in previous versions, this does not
need to be back-patched, because the coding used in older versions
successfully "looked through" domains over arrays.  The problem is exposed
by not treating a domain as having a typelem.

Problem identified by Noah Misch, though I did not use his patch, since
it would require additional work to handle domains over composites that
way.  This approach is more future-proof.

This doesn't work as expected because the isolationtester program requires

of a check with a temp installation.  And there are weird corner cases if
the dynamic linker picks up an old libpq.so from system library directories.

Instead of using slightly-too-clever heuristics to decide when we must

table is altered.  Checking whether a toast table is needed is cheap
enough that we needn't worry about doing it on every ALTER TABLE command,
and the previous coding is apparently prone to accidental breakage:
commit 04e17bae50 broken ALTER TABLE ..
SET STORAGE, which moved some actions from AT_PASS_COL_ATTRS to

Tom Lane 921b993677 Fix RI_Initial_Check to use a COLLATE clause when needed in its query.
If the referencing and referenced columns have different collations,
the parser will be unable to resolve which collation to use unless it's
helped out in this way.  The effects are sometimes masked, if we end up
using a non-collation-sensitive plan; but if we do use a mergejoin
we'll see a failure, as recently noted by Robert Haas.

The SQL spec states that the referenced column's collation should be used
to resolve RI checks, so that's what we do.  Note however that we currently
don't append a COLLATE clause when writing a query that examines only the
referencing column.  If we ever support collations that have varying
notions of equality, that will have to be changed.  For the moment, though,
it's preferable to leave it off so that we can use a normal index on the
referencing column.

This involves getting the character classification and case-folding

Most of this work had been done already in connection with the upper/lower
and LIKE logic, so it was a simple matter of transposition.

While at it, split out these functions into a separate source file
regc_pg_locale.c, so that they can be correctly labeled with the Postgres
project's license rather than the Scriptics license.  These functions are
100% Postgres-written code whereas what remains in regc_locale.c is still
mostly not ours, so lumping them both under the same copyright notice was
getting more and more misleading.

Tweak the test so that it does not depend on the platform using ".utf8" as
the extension signifying that a locale uses UTF8 encoding.  For the most
part this just requires using the abbreviated collation names "en_US" etc,
though I had to work a bit harder on the collation creation tests.

This opens the door to using the test on platforms that spell locales
differently, for example ".utf-8" or ".UTF-8".  Also, the test is now
somewhat useful with server encodings other than UTF8; though depending on
which encoding is selected, different subsets of it will fail for lack of
character set support.

Remove crude hack that tried to propagate collation through a

because the function result is composite and cannot have a collation;
and there's no hope of making this kind of action-at-a-distance work
consistently.  Adjust regression test cases that expected this to happen.

Meanwhile, the behavior of casting to a domain with a declared collation
stays the same as it was, since that seemed to be the consensus.

"canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do
an actual assignment.  And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by
Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus
log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without
restarting the server".  There may be some speed advantage too, because
this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when
restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed
representation of the value instead).  This patch also resolves a
longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign
hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message
about "invalid parameter value".

Robert Haas 6c57239985 Rearrange "add column" logic to merge columns at exec time.
The previous coding set attinhcount too high in some cases, resulting in
an undumpable, undroppable column.  Per bug #5856, reported by Naoya
Anzai.  See also commit 31b6fc06d8, which
fixes a similar bug in ALTER TABLE .. ADD CONSTRAINT.

Robert Haas 50533a6dc5 Support comments on FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER and SERVER objects.
This mostly involves making it work with the objectaddress.c framework,
which does most of the heavy lifting.  In that vein, change
GetForeignDataWrapperOidByName to get_foreign_data_wrapper_oid and
GetForeignServerOidByName to get_foreign_server_oid, to match the
pattern we use for other object types.

Tom Lane eb51af71f2 Prevent a rowtype from being included in itself.
Eventually we might be able to allow that, but it's not clear how many
places need to be fixed to prevent infinite recursion when there's a direct
or indirect inclusion of a rowtype in itself.  One such place is
CheckAttributeType(), which will recurse to stack overflow in cases such as
those exhibited in bug #5950 from Alex Perepelica.  If we were sure it was
the only such place, we could easily modify the code added by this patch to
stop the recursion without a complaint ... but it probably isn't the only
such place.  Hence, throw error until such time as someone is excited
enough about this type of usage to put work into making it safe.

Back-patch as far as 8.3.  8.2 doesn't have the recursive call in
CheckAttributeType in the first place, so I see no need to add code there
in the absence of clear evidence of a problem elsewhere.

Tom Lane a4425e3200 Fix collation handling in plpgsql functions.
Make plpgsql treat the input collation as a polymorphism variable, so
that we cache separate plans for each input collation that's used in a
particular session, as per recent discussion.  Propagate the input
collation to all collatable input parameters.

I chose to also propagate the input collation to all declared variables of
collatable types, which is a bit more debatable but seems to be necessary
for non-astonishing behavior.  (Copying a parameter into a separate local
variable shouldn't result in a change of behavior, for example.)  There is
enough infrastructure here to support declaring a collation for each local
variable to override that default, but I thought we should wait to see what
the field demand is before adding such a feature.

In passing, remove exec_get_rec_fieldtype(), which wasn't used anywhere.

Documentation patch to follow.

Tom Lane 27dc7e240b Fix handling of collation in SQL-language functions.
Ensure that parameter symbols receive collation from the function's
resolved input collation, and fix inlining to behave properly.

BTW, this commit lays about 90% of the infrastructure needed to support
use of argument names in SQL functions.  Parsing of parameters is now
done via the parser-hook infrastructure ... we'd just need to supply
a column-ref hook ...

Tom Lane 6e197cb2e5 Improve reporting of run-time-detected indeterminate-collation errors.
pg_newlocale_from_collation does not have enough context to give an error
message that's even a little bit useful, so move the responsibility for
complaining up to its callers.  Also, reword ERRCODE_INDETERMINATE_COLLATION
error messages in a less jargony, more message-style-guide-compliant
fashion.

Tom Lane 37d6d07dda Throw error for indeterminate collation of an ORDER/GROUP/DISTINCT target.
This restores a parse error that was thrown (though only in the ORDER BY
case) by the original collation patch.  I had removed it in my recent
revisions because it was thrown at a place where collations now haven't
been computed yet; but I thought of another way to handle it.

Throwing the error at parse time, rather than leaving it to be done at
runtime, is good because a syntax error pointer is helpful for localizing
the problem.  We can reasonably assume that the comparison function for a
collatable datatype will complain if it doesn't have a collation to use.
Now the planner might choose to implement GROUP or DISTINCT via hashing,
in which case no runtime error would actually occur, but it seems better
to throw error consistently rather than let the error depend on what the
planner chooses to do.  Another possible objection is that the user might
specify a nondefault sort operator that doesn't care about collation
... but that's surely an uncommon usage, and it wouldn't hurt him to throw
in a COLLATE clause anyway.  This change also makes the ORDER BY/GROUP
BY/DISTINCT case more consistent with the UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT case,
which was already coded to throw this error even though the same objections
could be raised there.

Tom Lane 8df08c8489 Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization (again).
Instead of playing cute games with pathkeys, just build a direct
representation of the intended sub-select, and feed it through
query_planner to get a Path for the index access.  This is a bit slower
than 9.1's previous method, since we'll duplicate most of the overhead of
query_planner; but since the whole optimization only applies to rather
simple single-table queries, that probably won't be much of a problem in
practice.  The advantage is that we get to do the right thing when there's
a partial index that needs the implicit IS NOT NULL clause to be usable.
Also, although this makes planagg.c be a bit more closely tied to the
ordering of operations in grouping_planner, we can get rid of some coupling
to lower-level parts of the planner.  Per complaint from Marti Raudsepp.

Tom Lane 9b095fbea4 Add some platform-independent tests for the collation feature.
There's a lot we can't test very well without platform dependencies,
but the C/POSIX collations should now work the same way everywhere.

Tom Lane b310b6e31c Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.
All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless
they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean
or record).  Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store
a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function.
This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs
and noncollatable output type, or vice versa.

Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with
a post-pass over the completed expression tree.  This allows us to use
a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment
rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node.

Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making
collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and
by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during
expression preprocessing.

is clearly correct. Backpatching to all live branches.

Tom Lane f12423d75a Adjust regression test to avoid platform-dependent failure.
We have a test that verifies that max(anyarray) will cope if the array
column elements aren't all the same array type.  However, it's now possible
for that to produce a collation-related error message instead of the
expected one, if the first two column elements happen to be of the same
type and it's one that expects to be given collation info.  Tweak the test
to ensure this doesn't happen.  Per buildfarm member pika.
