Up to now, the tab completion logic has only examined the last few words
of the current input line; "last few" being originally as few as four
words, but lately up to nine words. Furthermore, it only looked at what
libreadline considers the current line of input, which made it rather
myopic if you split your command across lines. This was tolerable,
sort of, so long as the match patterns were only designed to consider the
last few words of input; but with the recent addition of HeadMatches()
and Matches() matching rules, we really have to do better if we want
those to behave sanely.
Hence, change the code to break the entire line down into words, and to
include any previous lines in the command buffer along with the active
readline input buffer.
This will be a little bit slower than the previous coding, but some
measurements say that even a query of several thousand characters can be
parsed in a hundred or so microseconds on modern machines; so it's really
not going to be significant for interactive tab completion. To reduce
the cost some, I arranged to avoid the per-word malloc calls that used
to occur: all the words are now kept in one malloc'd buffer.
Replace tests like
else if (pg_strcasecmp(prev4_wd, "CREATE") == 0 &&
pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "TRIGGER") == 0 &&
(pg_strcasecmp(prev_wd, "BEFORE") == 0 ||
pg_strcasecmp(prev_wd, "AFTER") == 0))
with new notation like this:
else if (TailMatches4("CREATE", "TRIGGER", MatchAny, "BEFORE|AFTER"))
In addition, provide some macros COMPLETE_WITH_LISTn() to reduce the amount
of clutter needed to specify a small number of predetermined completion
alternatives.
This makes the code substantially more compact: tab-complete.c gets over a
thousand lines shorter in this patch, despite the addition of a couple of
hundred lines of infrastructure for the new notations. The new way of
specifying match rules seems a whole lot more readable and less
error-prone, too.
There's a lot more that could be done now to make matching faster and more
reliable; for example I suspect that most of the TailMatches() rules should
now be Matches() rules. That would allow them to be skipped after a single
integer comparison if there aren't the right number of words on the line,
and it would reduce the risk of unintended matches. But for now, (mostly)
refrain from reworking any match rules in favor of just converting what
we've got into the new notation.
Thomas Munro, reviewed by Michael Paquier, some adjustments by me

Backpatch: 9.4, like the commit introducing the bug
Per a recommendation from Tomas Vondra, it's more helpful to refer to
the value that determines how skewed a Gaussian or exponential
distribution is as a parameter rather than a threshold.
Since it's not quite too late to get this right in 9.5, where it was
introduced, back-patch this. Most of the patch changes only comments
and documentation, but a few pgbench messages are altered to match.
Fabien Coelho, reviewed by Michael Paquier and by me.
Previously, each subroutine in initdb fired up its own standalone backend
session. Over time we'd grown as many as fifteen of these sessions,
and the cumulative startup and shutdown work for them was getting pretty
noticeable. Combining things so that all these steps share a single
backend session cuts a good 10% off the total runtime of initdb, more
if you're not fsync'ing.
The main stumbling block to doing this before was that some of the sessions
were run with -j and some not. The improved definition of -j mode
implemented by my previous commit makes it possible to fix that by running
all the post-bootstrap steps with -j; we just have to use double instead of
single newlines to end command strings. (This is only absolutely necessary
around the VACUUM and CREATE DATABASE steps, since those can't be run in a
transaction block. But it seems best to make them all use double newlines
so that the commands remain separate for error-reporting purposes.)
A minor disadvantage is that since initdb can't tell how much of its
output the backend has executed, we can no longer have the per-step
progress reporting initdb used to print. But things are fast enough
nowadays that that's not really all that useful anyway.
In passing, add more const decoration to some of the static arrays in
initdb.c.
Turns out we must set rl_basic_word_break_characters *before* we call
rl_initialize() the first time, because it will quietly copy that value
elsewhere --- but only on the first call. (Love these undocumented
dependencies.) I broke this yesterday in commit 2ec477dc8108339d;
like that commit, back-patch to all active branches. Per report from
Pavel Stehule.
It emerges that libreadline doesn't notice terminal window size change
events unless they occur while collecting input. This is easy to stumble
over if you resize the window while using a pager to look at query output,
but it can be demonstrated without any pager involvement. The symptom is
that queries exceeding one line are misdisplayed during subsequent input
cycles, because libreadline has the wrong idea of the screen dimensions.
The safest, simplest way to fix this is to call rl_reset_screen_size()
just before calling readline(). That causes an extra ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ)
for every command; but since it only happens when reading from a tty, the
performance impact should be negligible. A more valid objection is that
this still leaves a tiny window during entry to readline() wherein delivery
of SIGWINCH will be missed; but the practical consequences of that are
probably negligible. In any case, there doesn't seem to be any good way to
avoid the race, since readline exposes no functions that seem safe to call
from a generic signal handler --- rl_reset_screen_size() certainly isn't.
It turns out that we also need an explicit rl_initialize() call, else
rl_reset_screen_size() dumps core when called before the first readline()
call.
rl_reset_screen_size() is not present in old versions of libreadline,
so we need a configure test for that. (rl_initialize() is present at
least back to readline 4.0, so we won't bother with a test for it.)
We would need a configure test anyway since libedit's emulation of
libreadline doesn't currently include such a function. Fortunately,
libedit seems not to have any corresponding bug.

Commit d5563d7df9 drew complaints from Coverity, which quite
correctly complained that one copy of each -c or -f string was being
leaked. What's more, simple_action_list_append was allocating enough space
for still a third copy of each string as part of the SimpleActionListCell,
even though that coding method had been superseded by a separate strdup
operation. There were some other minor coding infelicities too. The
documentation needed more work as well, eg it forgot to explain that -c
causes psql not to accept any interactive input.

Formerly, if "psql -o foo" failed to open the output file "foo", it would
print an error message but then carry on as though -o had not been
specified at all. This seems contrary to expectation: a program that
cannot open its output file normally fails altogether. Make psql do
exit(1) after reporting the error.
If "\o foo" failed to open "foo", it would print an error message but then
reset the output file to stdout, as if the argument had been omitted.
This is likewise pretty surprising behavior. Make it keep the previous
output state, instead.
psql keeps SIGPIPE interrupts disabled when it is writing to a pipe, either
a pipe specified by -o/\o or a transient pipe opened for purposes such as
using a pager on query output. The logic for this was too simple and could
sometimes re-enable SIGPIPE when a -o pipe was still active, thus possibly
leading to an unexpected psql crash later.
Fixing the last point required getting rid of the kluge in PrintQueryTuples
and ExecQueryUsingCursor whereby they'd transiently change the global
queryFout state, but that seems like good cleanup anyway.
Back-patch to 9.5 but not further; these are minor-enough issues that
changing the behavior in stable branches doesn't seem appropriate.
The formatting modes that depend on knowledge of the terminal window width
did not work right when printing a query result that's been fetched in
sections (as a result of FETCH_SIZE). ExecQueryUsingCursor() would force
use of the pager as soon as there's more than one result section, and then
print.c would see an output file pointer that's not stdout and incorrectly
conclude that the terminal window width isn't relevant.
This has been broken all along for non-expanded "wrapped" output format,
and as of 9.5 the issue affects expanded mode as well. The problem also
caused "\pset expanded auto" mode to invariably *not* switch to expanded
output in a segmented result, which seems to me to be exactly backwards.
To fix, we need to pass down an "is_pager" flag to inform the print.c
subroutines that some calling level has already replaced stdout with a
pager pipe, so they should (a) not do that again and (b) nonetheless honor
the window size. (Notably, this makes the first is_pager test in
print_aligned_text() not be dead code anymore.)
This patch is a bit invasive because there are so many existing calls of
printQuery()/printTable(), but fortunately all but a couple can just pass
"false" for the added parameter.
Back-patch to 9.5 but no further. Given the lack of field complaints,
it's not clear that we should change the behavior in stable branches.
Also, the API change for printQuery()/printTable() might possibly break
third-party code, again something we don't like to do in stable branches.
However, it's not quite too late to do this in 9.5, and with the larger
scope of the problem there, it seems worth doing.
The original code was a bit clunky; make it more amenable for further
reuse by creating a new Perl package PostgresNode, which is an
object-oriented representation of a single server, with some support
routines such as init, start, stop, psql. This serves as a better basis
on which to build further test code, and enables writing tests that use
more than one server without too much complication.
This commit modifies a lot of the existing test files, mostly to remove
explicit calls to system commands (pg_ctl) replacing them with method
calls of a PostgresNode object. The result is quite a bit more
straightforward.
Also move some initialization code to BEGIN and INIT blocks instead of
having it straight in as top-level code.
This commit also introduces package RecursiveCopy so that we can copy
whole directories without having to depend on packages that may not be
present on vanilla Perl 5.8 installations.
I also ran perltidy on the modified files, which changes some code sites
that are not otherwise touched by this patch. I tried to avoid this,
but it ended up being more trouble than it's worth.

Don't force the data width to extend all the way to the right margin if it
doesn't need to. This reverts the behavior in non-wrapping cases to be
what it was in 9.4. Also, make the logic that ensures the data line width
is at least equal to the record-header line width a little less obscure.
In passing, avoid possible calculation of log10(0). Probably that's
harmless, given the lack of field complaints, but it seems risky:
conversion of NaN to an integer isn't well defined.
We should ignore output_columns unless it's greater than zero.
A zero means we couldn't get any information from ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ);
in that case the expected behavior is to print the data at native width,
not to wrap it at the smallest possible value. print_aligned_text()
gets this consideration right, but print_aligned_vertical() lost track
of this detail somewhere along the line.
Allow pg_rewind to work when target timeline was switched. Now
user can return promoted standby to old master.
Target timeline history becomes a global variable. Index
in target timeline history is used in function interfaces instead of
specifying TLI directly. Thus, SimpleXLogPageRead() can easily start
reading XLOGs from next timeline when current timeline ends.

Review: Michael Paquier
This area was rather heavily whacked around in 6513633b9 and follow-on
commits, and it was showing it, because the logic to calculate the
allowable data width in wrapped expanded mode had only the vaguest
relationship to the logic that was actually printing the data. It was
not very close to being right about the conditions requiring overhead
columns to be added. Aside from being wrong, it was pretty unreadable
and under-commented. Rewrite it so it corresponds to what the printing
code actually does.
In passing, remove a couple of dead tests in the printing logic, too.
Per a complaint from Jeff Janes, though this doesn't look much like his
patch because it fixes a number of other corner-case bogosities too.
One such fix that's visible in the regression test results is that
although the code was attempting to enforce a minimum data width of
3 columns, it sometimes left less space than that available.
Previously, if no host information had been specified at connection time,
PQhost() would return NULL (unless you are on Windows, in which case you
got "localhost"). This is an unhelpful definition for a couple of reasons:
it can cause corner-case crashes in applications (cf commit c5ef8ce53d),
and there's no well-defined way for applications to find out the socket
directory path that's actually in use. As an example of the latter
problem, psql substituted DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR for NULL in a couple of
places, but this is subtly wrong because it's conceivable that psql is
using a libpq shared library that was built with a different setting.
Hence, change PQhost() to return DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR when appropriate,
and strip out the now-dead substitutions in psql. (There is still one
remaining reference to DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR in psql, in prompt.c, which
I don't see a nice way to get rid of. But it only controls a prompt
abbreviation decision, so it seems noncritical.)
Also update the docs for PQhost, which had never previously mentioned
the possibility of a socket directory path being returned. In passing
fix the outright-incorrect code comment about PGconn.pgunixsocket.
PQhost() can return NULL in non-error situations, namely when a Unix-socket
connection has been selected by default. That behavior is a tad debatable
perhaps, but for the moment we should make sure that psql copes with it.
Unfortunately, do_connect() failed to: it could pass a NULL pointer to
strcmp(), resulting in crashes on most platforms. This was reported as a
security issue by ChenQin of Topsec Security Team, but the consensus of
the security list is that it's just a garden-variety bug with no security
implications.
For paranoia's sake, I made the keep_password test not trust PQuser or
PQport either, even though I believe those will never return NULL given
a valid PGconn.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Also fix getErrorText() to return the right error string on failure.
This behavior now matches that of other operating systems.

Backpatch through 9.1
The POSIX standard for tar headers requires archive member sizes to be
printed in octal with at most 11 digits, limiting the representable file
size to 8GB. However, GNU tar and apparently most other modern tars
support a convention in which oversized values can be stored in base-256,
allowing any practical file to be a tar member. Adopt this convention
to remove two limitations:
* pg_dump with -Ft output format failed if the contents of any one table
exceeded 8GB.
* pg_basebackup failed if the data directory contained any file exceeding
8GB. (This would be a fatal problem for installations configured with a
table segment size of 8GB or more, and it has also been seen to fail when
large core dump files exist in the data directory.)
File sizes under 8GB are still printed in octal, so that no compatibility
issues are created except in cases that would have failed entirely before.
In addition, this patch fixes several bugs in the same area:
* In 9.3 and later, we'd defined tarCreateHeader's file-size argument as
size_t, which meant that on 32-bit machines it would write a corrupt tar
header for file sizes between 4GB and 8GB, even though no error was raised.
This broke both "pg_dump -Ft" and pg_basebackup for such cases.
* pg_restore from a tar archive would fail on tables of size between 4GB
and 8GB, on machines where either "size_t" or "unsigned long" is 32 bits.
This happened even with an archive file not affected by the previous bug.
* pg_basebackup would fail if there were files of size between 4GB and 8GB,
even on 64-bit machines.
* In 9.3 and later, "pg_basebackup -Ft" failed entirely, for any file size,
on 64-bit big-endian machines.
In view of these potential data-loss bugs, back-patch to all supported
branches, even though removal of the documented 8GB limit might otherwise
be considered a new feature rather than a bug fix.

Once upon a time we did not have a separate CREATEROLE privilege, and
CREATEUSER effectively meant SUPERUSER. When we invented CREATEROLE
(in 8.1) we also added SUPERUSER so as to have a less confusing keyword
for this role property. However, we left CREATEUSER in place as a
deprecated synonym for SUPERUSER, because of backwards-compatibility
concerns. It's still there and is still confusing people, as for example
in bug #13694 from Justin Catterson. 9.6 will be ten years or so later,
which surely ought to be long enough to end the deprecation and just
remove these old keywords. Hence, do so.

pg_ctl start with -w previously relied on a heuristic that the postmaster
would surely always manage to create postmaster.pid within five seconds.
Unfortunately, that fails much more often than we would like on some of the
slower, more heavily loaded buildfarm members.
We have known for quite some time that we could remove the need for that
heuristic on Unix by using fork/exec instead of system() to launch the
postmaster. This allows us to know the exact PID of the postmaster, which
allows near-certain verification that the postmaster.pid file is the one
we want and not a leftover, and it also lets us use waitpid() to detect
reliably whether the child postmaster has exited or not.
What was blocking this change was not wanting to rewrite the Windows
version of start_postmaster() to avoid use of CMD.EXE. That's doable
in theory but would require fooling about with stdout/stderr redirection,
and getting the handling of quote-containing postmaster switches to
stay the same might be rather ticklish. However, we realized that
we don't have to do that to fix the problem, because we can test
whether the shell process has exited as a proxy for whether the
postmaster is still alive. That doesn't allow an exact check of the
PID in postmaster.pid, but we're no worse off than before in that
respect; and we do get to get rid of the heuristic about how long the
postmaster might take to create postmaster.pid.
On Unix, this change means that a second "pg_ctl start -w" immediately
after another such command will now reliably fail, whereas previously
it would succeed if done within two seconds of the earlier command.
Since that's a saner behavior anyway, it's fine. On Windows, the case can
still succeed within the same time window, since pg_ctl can't tell that the
earlier postmaster's postmaster.pid isn't the pidfile it is looking for.
To ensure stable test results on Windows, we can insert a short sleep into
the test script for pg_ctl, ensuring that the existing pidfile looks stale.
This hack can be removed if we ever do rewrite start_postmaster(), but that
no longer seems like a high-priority thing to do.
Back-patch to all supported versions, both because the current behavior
is buggy and because we must do that if we want the buildfarm failures
to go away.

Problem spotted by me and fix proposed by Fabien COELHO. Note that his

(Third time's the charm, I hope.)
Additional testing disclosed that this code could mangle already-localized
output from the "money" datatype. We can't very easily skip applying it
to "money" values, because the logic is tied to column right-justification
and people expect "money" output to be right-justified. Short of
decoupling that, we can fix it in what should be a safe enough way by
testing to make sure the string doesn't contain any characters that would
not be expected in plain numeric output.
On closer inspection, those seemingly redundant atoi() calls were not so
much inefficient as just plain wrong: the author of this code either had
not read, or had not understood, the POSIX specification for localeconv().
The grouping field is *not* a textual digit string but separate integers
encoded as chars.
We'll follow the existing code as well as the backend's cash.c in only
honoring the first group width, but let's at least honor it correctly.
This doesn't actually result in any behavioral change in any of the
locales I have installed on my Linux box, which may explain why nobody's
complained; grouping width 3 is close enough to universal that it's barely
worth considering other cases. Still, wrong is wrong, so back-patch.
This code did the wrong thing entirely for numbers with an exponent
but no decimal point (e.g., '1e6'), as reported by Jeff Janes in
bug #13636. More generally, it made lots of unverified assumptions
about what the input string could possibly look like. Rearrange so
that it only fools with leading digits that it's directly verified
are there, and an immediately adjacent decimal point. While at it,
get rid of some useless inefficiencies, like converting the grouping
count string to integer over and over (and over).

Backpatch to 9.2 where test.sh was introduced.
Commit 924bcf4f16 introduced a framework
for parallel computation in PostgreSQL that makes most but not all
built-in functions safe to execute in parallel mode. In order to have
parallel query, we'll need to be able to determine whether that query
contains functions (either built-in or user-defined) that cannot be
safely executed in parallel mode. This requires those functions to be
labeled, so this patch introduces an infrastructure for that. Some
functions currently labeled as safe may need to be revised depending on
how pending issues related to heavyweight locking under paralllelism
are resolved.
Parallel plans can't be used except for the case where the query will
run to completion. If portal execution were suspended, the parallel
mode restrictions would need to remain in effect during that time, but
that might make other queries fail. Therefore, this patch introduces
a framework that enables consideration of parallel plans only when it
is known that the plan will be run to completion. This probably needs
some refinement; for example, at bind time, we do not know whether a
query run via the extended protocol will be execution to completion or
run with a limited fetch count. Having the client indicate its
intentions at bind time would constitute a wire protocol break. Some
contexts in which parallel mode would be safe are not adjusted by this
patch; the default is not to try parallel plans except from call sites
that have been updated to say that such plans are OK.
This commit doesn't introduce any parallel paths or plans; it just
provides a way to determine whether they could potentially be used.
I'm committing it on the theory that the remaining parallel sequential
scan patches will also get committed to this release, hopefully in the
not-too-distant future.

for messages emitted by RAISE commands. That was never more than a quick
backwards-compatibility hack, and it's pretty silly in cases where the
RAISE is nested in several levels of function. What's more, it violated
our design theory that verbosity of error reports should be controlled
on the client side not the server side.
To alleviate the resulting noise increase, introduce a feature in libpq
and psql whereby the CONTEXT field of messages can be suppressed, either
always or only for non-error messages. Printing CONTEXT for errors only
is now their default behavior.
The actual code changes here are pretty small, but the effects on the
regression test outputs are widespread. I had to edit some of the
alternative expected outputs by hand; hopefully the buildfarm will soon
find anything I fat-fingered.
In passing, fix up (again) the output line counts in psql's various
help displays. Add some commentary about how to verify them.

Most suites already did so via start_test_server(), but the pg_rewind,
pg_ctl and pg_controldata suites ran a postmaster or initdb with fsync
enabled. This halves the pg_rewind suite's runtime on buildfarm member
tern. It makes tern and that machine's other buildfarm members less
vulnerable to noise failures from postmaster startup overrunning the 60s
pg_ctl timeout. Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced.
Until 9.4, pg_controldata output was all aligned. At some point
during 9.5 development, a new item was added, namely
"Current track_commit_timestamp setting:" which is two characters
too long to be aligned with the rest of the output. Fix this by
removing the noise word "Current" and adding the requisite number
of padding spaces. Since the six preceding items are also similar
in nature, remove "Current" and pad those as well in order to
maintain overall consistency. Backpatch to 9.5 where new offending
item was added.
This fixes a bunch of somewhat pedantic warnings with new
compilers. Since by far the majority of other functions definitions use
the (void) style it just seems to be consistent to do so as well in the
remaining few places.
Since a179232047 (vacuumdb: enable parallel mode) -1 has been assigned
to a boolean. That can, justifiedly, trigger compiler warnings. There's
also no need for ternary logic, result was only ever set to 0 or -1. So
don't.

Backpatch: 9.4 where replica identity was introduced.
pg_dump produced fairly silly GRANT/REVOKE commands when dumping types from
pre-9.2 servers, and when dumping functions or procedural languages from
pre-7.3 servers. Those server versions lack the typacl, proacl, and/or
lanacl columns respectively, and pg_dump substituted default values that
were in fact incorrect. We ended up revoking all the owner's own
privileges for the object while granting all privileges to PUBLIC.
Of course the owner would then have those privileges again via PUBLIC, so
long as she did not try to revoke PUBLIC's privileges; which may explain
the lack of field reports. Nonetheless this is pretty silly behavior.
The stakes were raised by my recent patch to make pg_dump dump shell types,
because 9.2 and up pg_dump would proceed to emit bogus GRANT/REVOKE
commands for a shell type if dumping from a pre-9.2 server; and the server
will not accept GRANT/REVOKE commands for a shell type. (Perhaps it
should, but that's a topic for another day.) So the resulting dump script
wouldn't load without errors.
The right thing to do is to act as though these objects have default
privileges (null ACL entries), which causes pg_dump to print no
GRANT/REVOKE commands at all for them. That fixes the silly results
and also dodges the problem with shell types.
In passing, modify getProcLangs() to be less creatively different about
how to handle missing columns when dumping from older server versions.
Every other data-acquisition function in pg_dump does that by substituting
appropriate default values in the version-specific SQL commands, and I see
no reason why this one should march to its own drummer. Its use of
"SELECT *" was likewise not conformant with anyplace else, not to mention
it's not considered good SQL style for production queries.
Back-patch to all supported versions. Although 9.0 and 9.1 pg_dump don't
have the issue with typacl, they are more likely than newer versions to be
used to dump from ancient servers, so we ought to fix the proacl/lanacl
issues all the way back.
Several versions of the perl that comes with the Msys DTK have been
found to have a bug that fails to recognize a ' before a multiline $ in
some circumstances. To work around the problem, use a character class
for the '. Another solution would have been to use \n instead of $, but
that would have changed the test semantics very slightly.
Immediately starting to stream after --create-slot is inconvenient in a
number of situations (e.g. when configuring a slot for use in
recovery.conf) and it's easy to just call pg_receivexlog twice in the
rest of the cases.

Older versions have rmtree but not remove_tree. The one-argument forms

Per discussion, it really ought to do this. The original choice to
exclude shell types was probably made in the dark ages before we made

pg_xlog is often a symlink, typically to a different filesystem. Don't

The Msys DTK perl, which is required to run TAP tests under Msys as a

osname is either of these values, and is then used everywhere that
matters.
When we loop back to the top of doCustom after processing a backslash

On Windows, use listen_address=127.0.0.1 to allow TCP connections. We were
already using "pg_regress --config-auth" to set up HBA appropriately. The
standard_initdb helper function now sets up the server's
unix_socket_directories or listen_addresses in the config file, so that
they don't need to be specified in the pg_ctl command line anymore. That
way, the pg_ctl invocations in test programs don't need to differ between
Windows and Unix.
Add another helper function to configure the server's pg_hba.conf to allow
replication connections. The configuration is done similarly to "pg_regress
--config-auth": trust on domain sockets on Unix, and SSPI authentication on
Windows.
Replace calls to "cat" and "touch" programs with built-in perl code, as
those programs don't normally exist on Windows.

The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without
specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can
implement a TSM. (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.) Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having
a special return type. This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog
altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature.
Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments
(the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at
ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright
unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples.
Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable
within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more
honestly with methods that can't support that requirement.
Make a full code-review pass over the tablesample additions, and fix
assorted bugs, omissions, infelicities, and cosmetic issues (such as
failure to put the added code stanzas in a consistent ordering).
Improve EXPLAIN's output of tablesample plans, too.

Create a log file for each test run. Stdout and stderr of the test script,
as well as any subprocesses run as part of the test, are redirected to
the log file. This makes it a lot easier to debug test failures. Also print
the test output (ok 12 - ... messages) to the log file, and the command
line of any external programs executed with the system_or_bail and run_log
functions. This makes it a lot easier to debug failing tests.
Modify some of the pg_ctl and other command invocations to not use 'silent'
or 'quiet' options, and don't redirect output to /dev/null, so that you get
all the information in the log instead.
In the passing, construct some command lines in a way that works if $tempdir
contains quote-characters. I haven't systematically gone through all of
them or tested that, so I don't know if this is enough to make that work.
pg_rewind tests had a custom mechanism for creating a similar log file. Use
the new generic facility instead.

SUSv2-era shells don't set the PWD variable, though anything more modern
does. In the buildfarm environment this could lead to test.sh executing
with PWD pointing to $HOME or another high-level directory, so that there
were conflicts between concurrent executions of the test in different
branch subdirectories. This appears to be the explanation for recent
intermittent failures on buildfarm members binturong and dingo (and might
well have something to do with the buildfarm script's failure to capture
log files from pg_upgrade tests, too).
To fix, just use `pwd` in place of $PWD. AFAICS test.sh is the only place
in our source tree that depended on $PWD. Back-patch to all versions

There were two issues here. First, if a query got stuck so that it took

that it's already time to print the next progress report, just skip the one
that was missed. Before this patch, it would print the missed one with 0 TPS

The commit c22ed3d523 turned
the -i/--ignore-version options into no-ops and marked as deprecated.
Considering we shipped that in 8.4, it's time to remove all trace of
those switches, per discussion. We'd still have to wait a couple releases
before it'd be safe to use -i for something else, but it'd be a start.
The fsync code from the backend essentially assumes that somebody's already
validated PGDATA, at least to the extent of it being a readable directory.
That's safe enough for initdb's normal code path too, but "initdb -S"
doesn't have any other processing at all that touches the target directory.
To have reasonable error-case behavior, add a pg_check_dir call.
Per gripe from Peter E.
The argument that this is a sufficiently-expected case to be silently
ignored seems pretty thin. Andres had brought it up back when we were
still considering that most fsync failures should be hard errors, and it
probably would be legit not to fail hard for ETXTBSY --- but the same is
true for EROFS and other cases, which is why we gave up on hard failures.
ETXTBSY is surely not a normal case, so logging the failure seems fine
from here.
Make initdb's version of this logic look as much like the backend's
as possible. This is much less critical than in the backend since not
so many people use "initdb -S", but we want the same corner-case error
handling in both cases.
Back-patch to 9.3 where initdb -S option was introduced. Before that,
initdb only had to deal with freshly-created data directories, wherein
no failures should be expected.

The previous coding suffered a null-pointer dereference if it found any
symlink at the top level of $PGDATA. Fix that, and teach it to recurse
into a symlink for pg_xlog, but not anything else.
Per note from Abhijit Menon-Sen.
Ensure that we null-terminate the result string (one place in pg_rewind).
Be paranoid about out-of-range results from readlink() (should not happen,
but there is no good reason for some call sites to be careful about it and
others not). Consistently use the whole buffer, not sometimes one byte
less. Ensure we emit an appropriate errcode() in all cases. Spell the
error messages the same way.
The only serious bug here is the missing null-termination in pg_rewind,
which is new code, so no need for a back-patch.

Windows can't reliably restore symbolic links from a tar format, so
instead during backup start we create a tablespace_map file, which is
used by the restoring postgres to create the correct links in pg_tblspc.
The backup protocol also now has an option to request this file to be
included in the backup stream, and this is used by pg_basebackup when
operating in tar mode.
This is done on all platforms, not just Windows.
This means that pg_basebackup will not not work in tar mode against 9.4
and older servers, as this protocol option isn't implemented there.

The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to
raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting.
ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a
inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or
by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the
constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE
SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to
both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the
optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being
executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple
proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the
pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias.
This feature is often referred to as upsert.
This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative
insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first
does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a
violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted
tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a
matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken.
If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is
deemed inserted.
To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table
named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT
INTO now can alias its target table.

pg_rewind looks at the control file to determine the server's timeline. If
the standby performs a "fast promotion", the timeline ID in the control
file is not updated until the next checkpoint. The startup process requests
a checkpoint immediately after promotion, so this is unlikely to be an
issue in the real world, but the regression suite ran pg_rewind so quickly
after promotion that the checkpoint had not yet completed.
Reported by Stephen Frost
The "check" target no longer needs to depend on "all", because it now
runs "install" directly, which in turn depends on "all". Doing both
will cause problems with parallel make, because two builds will run next
to each other.
Also remove the redirection of the temp-install output into a log file.
This was appropriate when this was done from within pg_regress, but now
it's just a regular make run, and especially with the above changes this
will now take the place of running the "all" target before the test
suites.
problem report by Jeff Janes, patch in part by Michael Paquier
When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two
related problems exist:
* How to safely keep track of replication progress
* How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row;
e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups
The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of
three parts:
1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup.
2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each
replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and
crash safe manner.
3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a
replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex
replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out.
Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting
additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much
less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various
replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The
infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable.
This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit
timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities,
except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate
with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via
SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced
in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem.
For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be
tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots
GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there
doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one.

The majority practice is to add -DFRONTEND in directories building files
that are, at other times, built for the backend. Some directories
lacking that property added a noise -DFRONTEND in one build system.
Remove the excess flags, for consistency.
Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.
The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.

There were a couple of hard-coded sleeps in the tests: to wait for standby
to catch up with master, and to wait for promotion with "pg_ctl promote"
to complete. Instead of a fixed, hard-coded sleep, poll the server with a
query once a second. This isn't ideal either, and I wish we had a better
solution for real-world applications too, but this should fix the
immediate problem.
Patch by Michael Paquier, with some editing by me.
Update comments and function names to use the terms "source" and "target"
consistently. Some places were calling them remote and local instead, which
was confusing.
Fix incorrect comment in extractPageInfo on database creation record - it
was wrong on what happens for databases created in the target that don't
exist in source.
Now that the test servers are initialized twice in each .pl script,
the single END block is not enough to stop them. Add a new clean_rewind_test
function that is called at the end of each test.

Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",
which was deleted after pg_upgrade was finished. Because we don't want
to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.
The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables
that were added specifically for pg_upgrade use, so keeping the module
separate does not create any modularity.
The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade
mode, so it is not possible to call these during normal operation.

Now that we use CRC-32C in WAL and the control file, the "traditional" and
"legacy" CRC-32 variants are not used in any frontend programs anymore.
Move the code for those back from src/common to src/backend/utils/hash.
Also move the slicing-by-8 implementation (back) to src/port. This is in
preparation for next patch that will add another implementation that uses
Intel SSE 4.2 instructions to calculate CRC-32C, where available.
Should call just "pg_rewind", instead of "./pg_rewind". The tests are called
so that PATH contains the temporariy installation bin dir.
Per report from Alvaro Herrera
* Don't pass arguments to prove, since that's not supported on perl 5.8
which is the minimum version supported by the TAP tests. Refactor the
test files themselves to run the tests twice, in both local and remote mode.
* Use eq rather than == for string comparison. This thinko caused the remote
versions of the tests to never run.
* Add "use strict" and "use warnings", and fix warnings that that produced.
* Increase the delay after standby promotion, to make the tests more robust.
* In remote mode, the connection string to the promoted standby was
incorrect, leading to connection errors.
Patch by Michael Paquier, to address Peter Eisentraut's report.
gettext was unhappy about the commit b216ad7 because it revealed
the problem that internationalized messages may contain '\r' escape
sequence in pg_rewind. This commit moves '\r' to a separate printf() call.

While gcc doesn't complain if you declare a function "static" and then
define it not-static, other compilers do; and in any case the code is
highly misleading this way. Add the missing "static" keywords to a
couple of recent patches. Per buildfarm member pademelon.
Don't allow pg_rewind to run as root on Unix platforms, as any new or
replaced files in the data directory would become owned by root. On Windows,
it can run under a user that has Administrator rights, but a restricted
token needs to be used. This is the same we do e.g. in pg_resetxlog.
Also, add missing set_pglocale_pgservice() call, to fix localization.

Some of the TAP tests were supposing that PG programs would accept switches
after non-switch arguments on their command lines. While GNU getopt_long()
does allow that, our own implementation does not, and it's nowhere
suggested in our documentation that such cases should work. Adjust the
tests to use only the documented syntax.
Back-patch to 9.4, since without this the TAP tests fail when run with
src/port's getopt_long() implementation.

Similarly to previous fix 9b8d478, commit 2c03216 has switched
XLogReaderAllocate() to use a set of palloc calls instead of malloc,
causing any callers of this function to fail with an error instead of
receiving a NULL pointer in case of out-of-memory error. Fix this by
using palloc_extended with MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM that will safely return
NULL in case of an OOM.

This is the second try at this, after fcef161729 failed miserably and
had to be reverted: as it turns out, libpq cannot depend on libpgcommon
after all. Instead of shuffling code in the master branch, make that one
just like 9.4 and accept the duplication. (This was all my own mistake,
not the patch submitter's).
psql was already accepting conninfo strings as the first parameter in
\connect, but the way it worked wasn't sane; some of the other
parameters would get the previous connection's values, causing it to
connect to a completely unexpected server or, more likely, not finding
any server at all because of completely wrong combinations of
parameters.
Fix by explicitely checking for a conninfo-looking parameter in the
dbname position; if one is found, use its complete specification rather
than mix with the other arguments. Also, change tab-completion to not
try to complete conninfo/URI-looking "dbnames" and document that
conninfos are accepted as first argument.
There was a weak consensus to backpatch this, because while the behavior
of using the dbname as a conninfo is nowhere documented for \connect, it
is reasonable to expect that it works because it does work in many other
contexts. Therefore this is backpatched all the way back to 9.0.

To implement this, routines previously private to libpq have been
duplicated so that psql can decide what looks like a conninfo/URI
string. In back branches, just duplicate the same code all the way back
to 9.2, where URIs where introduced; 9.0 and 9.1 have a simpler version.
In master, the routines are moved to src/common and renamed.

As with initdb these programs need to run with a restricted token, and
if they don't pg_upgrade will fail when run as a user with Adminstrator
privileges.
Backpatch to all live branches. On the development branch the code is
reorganized so that the restricted token code is now in a single
location. On the stable bramches a less invasive change is made by
simply copying the relevant code to pg_upgrade.c and pg_resetxlog.c.
Patches and bug report from Muhammad Asif Naeem, reviewed by Michael
Paquier, slightly edited by me.
Bugs all spotted by Coverity, including wrong realloc() size request
and memory leaks. Cosmetic improvements by me.
The usage of the global variable "filemap" here is still pretty awful,
but at least I got rid of the gratuitous aliasing in several routines
(which was helping to annoy Coverity, as well as being a bug risk).
If set, the pager will not be used unless this many lines are to be
displayed, even if that is more than the screen depth. Default is zero,
meaning it's disabled.
There is probably more work to be done in giving the user control over
when the pager is used, particularly when wide output forces use of the
pager regardless of how many lines there are, but this is a start.
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5 by
making two simple changes:
* pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn().
Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces
pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them.
* attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not
definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts,
which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent
but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a
noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if
we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc
compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns.
I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of
declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete
anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
Earlier versions of this tool were available (and still are) on github.

Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the
system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of
course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks.
As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK
constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to
accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to
disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special
cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK
constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't
mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have
use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops
for most.
An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node
has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified
in EXPLAIN output, for example:
Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46)
Update on pt1
Foreign Update on ft1
Foreign Update on ft2
Update on child3
-> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46)
This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL"
fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables
are involved.

GNU readline defines the return value of write_history() as "zero if OK,
else an errno code". libedit's version of that function used to have a
different definition (to wit, "-1 if error, else the number of lines
written to the file"). We tried to work around that by checking whether
errno had become nonzero, but this method has never been kosher according
to the published API of either library. It's reportedly completely broken
in recent Ubuntu releases: psql bleats about "No such file or directory"
when saving ~/.psql_history, even though the write worked fine.
However, libedit has been following the readline definition since somewhere
around 2006, so it seems all right to finally break compatibility with
ancient libedit releases and trust that the return value is what readline
specifies. (I'm not sure when the various Linux distributions incorporated
this fix, but I did find that OS X has been shipping fixed versions since
10.5/Leopard.)
If anyone is still using such an ancient libedit, they will find that psql
complains it can't write ~/.psql_history at exit, even when the file was
written correctly. This is no worse than the behavior we're fixing for
current releases.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
While the SQL standard is pretty vague on the overall topic of operator
precedence (because it never presents a unified BNF for all expressions),
it does seem reasonable to conclude from the spec for <boolean value
expression> that OR has the lowest precedence, then AND, then NOT, then IS
tests, then the six standard comparison operators, then everything else
(since any non-boolean operator in a WHERE clause would need to be an
argument of one of these).
We were only sort of on board with that: most notably, while "<" ">" and
"=" had properly low precedence, "<=" ">=" and "<>" were treated as generic
operators and so had significantly higher precedence. And "IS" tests were
even higher precedence than those, which is very clearly wrong per spec.
Another problem was that "foo NOT SOMETHING bar" constructs, such as
"x NOT LIKE y", were treated inconsistently because of a bison
implementation artifact: they had the documented precedence with respect
to operators to their right, but behaved like NOT (i.e., very low priority)
with respect to operators to their left.
Fixing the precedence issues is just a small matter of rearranging the
precedence declarations in gram.y, except for the NOT problem, which
requires adding an additional lookahead case in base_yylex() so that we
can attach a different token precedence to NOT LIKE and allied two-word
operators.
The bulk of this patch is not the bug fix per se, but adding logic to
parse_expr.c to allow giving warnings if an expression has changed meaning
because of these precedence changes. These warnings are off by default
and are enabled by the new GUC operator_precedence_warning. It's believed
that very few applications will be affected by these changes, but it was
agreed that a warning mechanism is essential to help debug any that are.
Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but
gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers;
which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just
generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h.
Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf,
pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that
understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed,
but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality.
This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on
__attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into
warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many
occurances of that and it's hard to work around...

Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.
Commit 865f14a2d3 was quite a few bricks
shy of a load: psql, ecpg, and plpgsql were all left out-of-step with
the core lexer. Of these only the last was likely to be a fatal
problem; but still, a minimal amount of grepping, or even just reading
the comments adjacent to the places that were changed, would have found
the other places that needed to be changed.
Commit 7b583b20b1 created an unnecessary
dump failure hazard by applying pg_get_function_identity_arguments()
to every function in the database, even those that won't get dumped.
This could result in snapshot-related problems if concurrent sessions are,
for example, creating and dropping temporary functions, as noted by Marko
Tiikkaja in bug #12832. While this is by no means pg_dump's only such
issue with concurrent DDL, it's unfortunate that we added a new failure
mode for cases that used to work, and even more so that the failure was
created for basically cosmetic reasons (ie, to sort overloaded functions
more deterministically).
To fix, revert that patch and instead sort function arguments using
information that pg_dump has available anyway, namely the names of the
argument types. This will produce a slightly different sort ordering for
overloaded functions than the previous coding; but applying strcmp
directly to the output of pg_get_function_identity_arguments really was
a bit odd anyway. The sorting will still be name-based and hence
independent of possibly-installation-specific OID assignments. A small
additional benefit is that sorting now works regardless of server version.
Back-patch to 9.3, where the previous commit appeared.
Since 9.1, we've provided extensions with a way to denote
"configuration" tables- tables created by an extension which the user
may modify. By marking these as "configuration" tables, the extension
is asking for the data in these tables to be pg_dump'd (tables which
are not marked in this way are assumed to be entirely handled during
CREATE EXTENSION and are not included at all in a pg_dump).
Unfortunately, pg_dump neglected to consider foreign key relationships
between extension configuration tables and therefore could end up
trying to reload the data in an order which would cause FK violations.
This patch teaches pg_dump about these dependencies, so that the data
dumped out is done so in the best order possible. Note that there's no
way to handle circular dependencies, but those have yet to be seen in
the wild.
The release notes for this should include a caution to users that
existing pg_dump-based backups may be invalid due to this issue. The
data is all there, but restoring from it will require extracting the
data for the configuration tables and then loading them in the correct
order by hand.
Discussed initially back in bug #6738, more recently brought up by
Gilles Darold, who provided an initial patch which was further reworked
by Michael Paquier. Further modifications and documentation updates
by me.
Back-patch to 9.1 where we added the concept of extension configuration
tables.
The tar format (at least the version we are using), does not support
file names or symlink targets longer than 99 bytes. Until now, the tar
creation code would silently truncate any names that are too long. (Its
original application was pg_dump, where this never happens.) This
creates problems when running base backups over the replication
protocol.
The most important problem is when a tablespace path is longer than 99
bytes, which will result in a truncated tablespace path being backed up.
Less importantly, the basebackup protocol also promises to back up any
other files it happens to find in the data directory, which would also
lead to file name truncation if someone put a file with a long name in
there.
Now both of these cases result in an error during the backup.
Add tests that fail when a too-long file name or symlink is attempted to
be backed up.

Replace some bogus "x[1]" declarations with "x[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]".
Aside from being more self-documenting, this should help prevent bogus
warnings from static code analyzers and perhaps compiler misoptimizations.
This patch is just a down payment on eliminating the whole problem, but
it gets rid of a lot of easy-to-fix cases.
Note that the main problem with doing this is that one must no longer rely
on computing sizeof(the containing struct), since the result would be
compiler-dependent. Instead use offsetof(struct, lastfield). Autoconf
also warns against spelling that offsetof(struct, lastfield[0]).

Somebody apparently threw darts at the code to decide where to insert
these. They certainly didn't proceed by adding them where other similar
SETs were handled. This at least broke pg_restore, and perhaps other
use-cases too.
cfopen() and cfopen_write() failed to pass the compression level through
to zlib, so that you always got the default compression level if you got
any at all.
In passing, also fix these and related functions so that the correct errno
is reliably returned on failure; the original coding supposes that free()
cannot change errno, which is untrue on at least some platforms.

pg_database.datfrozenxid and pg_database.datminmxid were not preserved

Backpatch through 9.0
We already had one go at this issue in commit d73b7f973d, but we
failed to notice that buildACLCommands also leaked several PQExpBuffers
along with a simply malloc'd string. This time let's try to make the
fix a bit more future-proof by eliminating the separate exit path.
It's still not exactly critical because pg_dump will curl up and die on
failure; but since the amount of the potential leak is now several KB,
it seems worth back-patching as far as 9.2 where the previous fix landed.
Per Coverity, which evidently is smarter than clang's static analyzer.
Back in 2003 we had a discussion about how to decide which casts to dump.
At the time pg_dump really only considered an object's containing schema
to decide what to dump (ie, dump whatever's not in pg_catalog), and so
we chose a complicated idea involving whether the underlying types were to
be dumped (cf commit a6790ce857). But users
are allowed to create casts between built-in types, and we failed to dump
such casts. Let's get rid of that heuristic, which has accreted even more
ugliness since then, in favor of just looking at the cast's OID to decide
if it's a built-in cast or not.
In passing, also fix some really ancient code that supposed that it had to
manufacture a dependency for the cast on its cast function; that's only
true when dumping from a pre-7.3 server. This just resulted in some wasted
cycles and duplicate dependency-list entries with newer servers, but we
might as well improve it.
