All these constructs generate parse trees consisting of a Const and
a run-time type coercion (perhaps a FuncExpr or a CoerceViaIO). Modify
the raw parse output so that we end up with the original token's location
attached to the type coercion node while the Const has location -1;
before, it was the other way around. This makes no difference in terms
of what exprLocation() will say about the parse tree as a whole, so it
should not have any user-visible impact. The point of changing it is that
we do not want contrib/pg_stat_statements to treat these constructs as
replaceable constants. It will do the right thing if the Const has
location -1 rather than a valid location.
This is a pretty ugly hack, but then this code is ugly already; we should
someday replace this translation with special-purpose parse node(s) that
would allow ruleutils.c to reconstruct the original query text.
(See also commit 5d3fcc4c2e, which also
hacked location assignment rules for the benefit of pg_stat_statements.)
Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_stat_statements grew the ability to recognize
replaceable constants.

Unlike our other array functions, this considers the total number of

When there are consecutive spaces (or other non-format-code characters) in
the format, we should advance over exactly that many characters of input.
The previous coding mistakenly did a "skip whitespace" action between such
characters, possibly allowing more input to be skipped than the user
intended. We only need to skip whitespace just before an actual field.
This is really a bug fix, but given the minimal number of field complaints
and the risk of breaking applications coded to expect the old behavior,
let's not back-patch it.

In the MSVC build system we've never separated krb5 from gss,
and always built them both. Since the removal of native krb5
support, this parameter only controls GSSAPI, so rename it
accordingly.
krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do
Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method
(which is still fully supported).
libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only
gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication
is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all
in the backend.
Tablespaces have a few options which can be set on them to give PG hints
as to how the tablespace behaves (perhaps it's faster for sequential
scans, or better able to handle random access, etc). These options were
only available through the ALTER TABLESPACE command.
This adds the ability to set these options at CREATE TABLESPACE time,
removing the need to do both a CREATE TABLESPACE and ALTER TABLESPACE to
get the correct options set on the tablespace.

Historically, VACUUM has just reported its new_rel_tuples estimate
(the same thing it puts into pg_class.reltuples) to the stats collector.
That number counts both live and dead-but-not-yet-reclaimable tuples.
This behavior may once have been right, but modern versions of the
pgstats code track live and dead tuple counts separately, so putting
the total into n_live_tuples and zero into n_dead_tuples is surely
pretty bogus. Fix it to report live and dead tuple counts separately.
This doesn't really do much for situations where updating transactions
commit concurrently with a VACUUM scan (possibly causing double-counting or
omission of the tuples they add or delete); but it's clearly an improvement
over what we were doing before.

This adds a 'MOVE' sub-command to ALTER TABLESPACE which allows moving sets of
objects from one tablespace to another. This can be extremely handy and avoids
a lot of error-prone scripting. ALTER TABLESPACE ... MOVE will only move
objects the user owns, will notify the user if no objects were found, and can
be used to move ALL objects or specific types of objects (TABLES, INDEXES, or
MATERIALIZED VIEWS).
We've always allowed CREATE TABLE to create tables in the database's default
tablespace without checking for CREATE permissions on that tablespace.
Unfortunately, the original implementation of ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE
didn't pick up on that exception.
This changes ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE to allow the database's default
tablespace without checking for CREATE rights on that tablespace, just as
CREATE TABLE works today. Users could always do this through a series of
commands (CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT * FROM ...; DROP TABLE ...; etc), so
let's fix the oversight in SET TABLESPACE's original implementation.
These changes should generally improve correctness/maintainability.
A nice side benefit is that several kilobytes move from initialized
data to text segment, allowing them to be shared across processes and
probably reducing copy-on-write overhead while forking a new backend.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help libpq in the same way (at least
not when it's compiled with -fpic on x86_64), but we can hope the linker
at least collects all nominally-const data together even if it's not
actually part of the text segment.
Also, make pg_encname_tbl[] static in encnames.c, since there seems
no very good reason for any other code to use it; per a suggestion
from Wim Lewis, who independently submitted a patch that was mostly
a subset of this one.

_WIN32 is set by the compiler, whereas our code uses WIN32 that is

Not setting this symbol causes double inclusion of pg_config_os.h,

In ordinary operation, VACUUM must be careful to take a cleanup lock on
each leaf page of a btree index; this ensures that no indexscans could
still be "in flight" to heap tuples due to be deleted. (Because of
possible index-tuple motion due to concurrent page splits, it's not enough
to lock only the pages we're deleting index tuples from.) In Hot Standby,
the WAL replay process must likewise lock every leaf page. There were
several bugs in the code for that:
* The replay scan might come across unused, all-zero pages in the index.
While btree_xlog_vacuum itself did the right thing (ie, nothing) with
such pages, xlogutils.c supposed that such pages must be corrupt and
would throw an error. This accounts for various reports of replication
failures with "PANIC: WAL contains references to invalid pages". To
fix, add a ReadBufferMode value that instructs XLogReadBufferExtended
not to complain when we're doing this.
* btree_xlog_vacuum performed the extra locking if standbyState ==
STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, but that's not the correct test: we won't open up
for hot standby queries until the database has reached consistency, and
we don't want to do the extra locking till then either, for fear of reading
corrupted pages (which bufmgr.c would complain about). Fix by exporting a
new function from xlog.c that will report whether we're actually in hot
standby replay mode.
* To ensure full coverage of the index in the replay scan, btvacuumscan
would emit a dummy WAL record for the last page of the index, if no
vacuuming work had been done on that page. However, if the last page
of the index is all-zero, that would result in corruption of said page,
since the functions called on it weren't prepared to handle that case.
There's no need to lock any such pages, so change the logic to target
the last normal leaf page instead.
The first two of these bugs were diagnosed by Andres Freund, the other one
by me. Fixes based on ideas from Heikki Linnakangas and myself.

On second thought, commit 0c051c9008 was
over-hasty: rather than allowing this case, we ought to reject it for now.
That leaves the field clear for a future feature that allows the target
table to be re-specified in the FROM (or USING) clause, which will enable
left-joining the target table to something else. We can then also allow
LATERAL references to such an explicitly re-specified target table.
But allowing them right now will create ambiguities or worse for such a
feature, and it isn't something we documented 9.3 as supporting.
While at it, add a convenience subroutine to avoid having several copies
of the ereport for disalllowed-LATERAL-reference cases.
Per reports from Andres Freund and Luke Campbell, a server failure during
set_pglocale_pgservice results in a segfault rather than a useful error
message, because the infrastructure needed to use ereport hasn't been
initialized; specifically, MemoryContextInit hasn't been called.
One known cause of this is starting the server in a directory it
doesn't have permission to read.
We could try to prevent set_pglocale_pgservice from using anything that
depends on palloc or elog, but that would be messy, and the odds of future
breakage seem high. Moreover there are other things being called in main.c
that look likely to use palloc or elog too --- perhaps those things
shouldn't be there, but they are there today. The best solution seems to
be to move the call of MemoryContextInit to very early in the backend's
real main() function. I've verified that an elog or ereport occurring
immediately after that is now capable of sending something useful to
stderr.
I also added code to elog.c to print something intelligible rather than
just crashing if MemoryContextInit hasn't created the ErrorContext.
This could happen if MemoryContextInit itself fails (due to malloc
failure), and provides some future-proofing against someone trying to
sneak in new code even earlier in server startup.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Since we've only heard reports of
this type of failure recently, it may be that some recent change has made
it more likely to see a crash of this kind; but it sure looks like it's

The standard typanalyze functions skip over values whose detoasted size
exceeds WIDTH_THRESHOLD (1024 bytes), so as to limit memory bloat during
ANALYZE. However, we (I think I, actually :-() failed to consider the
possibility that *every* non-null value in a column is too wide. While
compute_minimal_stats() seems to behave reasonably anyway in such a case,
compute_scalar_stats() just fell through and generated no pg_statistic
entry at all. That's unnecessarily pessimistic: we can still produce
valid stanullfrac and stawidth values in such cases, since we do include
too-wide values in the average-width calculation. Furthermore, since the
general assumption in this code is that too-wide values are probably all
distinct from each other, it seems reasonable to set stadistinct to -1
("all distinct").

Makes the replay loop slightly more readable, by separating the concerns of
whether to stop and whether to delay, and how to extract the timestamp from
a record.
This has the user-visible change that the timestamp of the last applied
record is now updated after actually applying it. Before, it was updated
just before applying it. That meant that pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp()
could return the timestamp of a commit record that is in process of being
replayed, but not yet applied. Normally the difference is small, but if
min_recovery_apply_delay is set, there could be a significant delay between
reading a record and applying it.
Another behavioral change is that if you recover to a restore point, we stop
after the restore point record, not before it. It makes no difference as far
as running queries on the server is concerned, as applying a restore point
record changes nothing, but if examine the timeline history you will see
that the new timeline branched off just after the restore point record, not
before it. One practical consequence is that if you do PITR to the new
timeline, and set recovery target to the same named restore point again, it
will find and stop recovery at the same restore point. Conceptually, I think
it makes more sense to consider the restore point as part of the new
timeline's history than not.
In principle, setting the last-replayed timestamp before actually applying
the record was a bug all along, but it doesn't seem worth the risk to
backpatch, since min_recovery_apply_delay was only added in 9.4.
Minor improvement to commit daa7527afc:
s_lock.h no longer has any need to mention PGSemaphoreData, so we can
rip out the #include that supplies that. In a non-HAVE_SPINLOCKS
build, this doesn't really buy much since we still need the #include
in spin.h --- but everywhere else, this reduces #include footprint by
some trifle, and helps keep the different locking facilities separate.
In commit c1352052ef, I implemented an
optimization that assumed that a function's argument expressions would
either always return a set (ie multiple rows), or always not. This is
wrong however: we allow CASE expressions in which some arms return a set
of some type and others just return a scalar of that type. There may be
other examples as well. To fix, replace the run-time test of whether an
argument returned a set with a static precheck (expression_returns_set).
This adds a little bit of query startup overhead, but it seems barely
measurable.
Per bug #8228 from David Johnston. This has been broken since 8.0,
so patch all supported branches.
Instead of allocating a semaphore from the operating system for every
spinlock, allocate a fixed number of semaphores (by default, 1024)
from the operating system and multiplex all the spinlocks that get
created onto them. This could self-deadlock if a process attempted
to acquire more than one spinlock at a time, but since processes
aren't supposed to execute anything other than short stretches of
straight-line code while holding a spinlock, that shouldn't happen.
One motivation for this change is that, with the introduction of
dynamic shared memory, it may be desirable to create spinlocks that
last for less than the lifetime of the server. Without this change,
attempting to use such facilities under --disable-spinlocks would
quickly exhaust any supply of available semaphores. Quite apart
from that, it's desirable to contain the quantity of semaphores
needed to run the server simply on convenience grounds, since using
too many may make it harder to get PostgreSQL running on a new
platform, which is mostly the point of --disable-spinlocks in the
first place.
Patch by me; review by Tom Lane.
If pause_at_recovery_target is set, recovery pauses *before* applying the
target record, even if recovery_target_inclusive is set. If you then
continue with pg_xlog_replay_resume(), it will apply the target record
before ending recovery. In other words, if you log in while it's paused
and verify that the database looks OK, ending recovery changes its state
again, possibly destroying data that you were tring to salvage with PITR.
Backpatch to 9.1, this has been broken since pause_at_recovery_target was
added.
The docs say that only one of recovery_target_xid, recovery_target_time, or
recovery_target_name can be specified. But the code actually did something
different, so that a name overrode time, and xid overrode both time and name.
Now the target specified last takes effect, whether it's an xid, time or
name.
With this patch, we still accept multiple recovery_target settings, even
though docs say that only one can be specified. It's a general property of
the recovery.conf file parser that you if you specify the same option twice,
the last one takes effect, like with postgresql.conf.
In the transition functions, we don't really need to recheck this after the
first call. I had been feeling paranoid about possibly getting a non-null
argument value in some other context; but it's probably game over anyway
if we have a non-null "internal" value that's not what we are expecting.
In the final functions, the general convention in pre-existing final
functions seems to be that an Assert() is good enough, so do it like that
here too.
This seems to save a few tenths of a percent of overall query runtime,
which isn't much, but still it's just overhead if there's not a plausible
case where the checks would fire.
Keep a pre-initialized FunctionCallInfoData in AggStatePerAggData, and
re-use that at each row instead of doing InitFunctionCallInfoData each
time. This saves only half a dozen assignments and maybe some stack
manipulation, and yet that seems to be good for a percent or two of the
overall query run time for simple aggregates such as count(*). The cost
is that the FunctionCallInfoData (which is about a kilobyte, on 64-bit
machines) stays allocated for the duration of the query instead of being
short-lived stack data. But we're already paying an equivalent space cost
for each regular FuncExpr or OpExpr node, so I don't feel bad about paying
it for aggregate functions. The code seems a little cleaner this way too,
since the number of things passed to advance_transition_function decreases.
When starting WAL replay from an online checkpoint, the last replayed WAL
record variable was initialized using the checkpoint record's location, even
though the records between the REDO location and the checkpoint record had
not been replayed yet. That was noted as "slightly confusing" but harmless
in the comment, but in some cases, it fooled CheckRecoveryConsistency to
incorrectly conclude that we had already reached a consistent state
immediately at the beginning of WAL replay. That caused the system to accept
read-only connections in hot standby mode too early, and also PANICs with
message "WAL contains references to invalid pages".
Fix by initializing the variables to the REDO location instead.
In 9.2 and above, change CheckRecoveryConsistency() to use
lastReplayedEndRecPtr variable when checking if backup end location has
been reached. It was inconsistently using EndRecPtr for that check, but
lastReplayedEndRecPtr when checking min recovery point. It made no
difference before this patch, because in all the places where
CheckRecoveryConsistency was called the two variables were the same, but
it was always an accident waiting to happen, and would have been wrong
after this patch anyway.

I failed to think much about UPDATE/DELETE when implementing LATERAL :-(.
The implemented behavior ended up being that subqueries in the FROM or

though it were a lateral reference; which seems fine if they said LATERAL,
but certainly ought to draw an error if they didn't. Fix it so you get a
suitable error when you omit LATERAL. Per report from Emre Hasegeli.
And the same for do_pg_stop_backup. The code in do_pg_* is not allowed

The initial commit of ordered-set aggregates just did all the setup work
afresh each time the aggregate function is started up. But in a GROUP BY
query, the catalog lookups need not be repeated for each group, since the
column datatypes and sort information won't change. When there are many
small groups, this makes for a useful, though not huge, performance
improvement. Per suggestion from Andrew Gierth.
Profiling of these cases suggests that it might be profitable to avoid
duplicate lookups within tuplesort startup as well; but changing the
tuplesort APIs would have much broader impact, so I left that for
another day.
Several previous commits have added columns to various \d queries without

Since this is evidently more easily missed than one would like, in HEAD

In HEAD and 9.3, also clean up a whole lot of sloppiness in the emitted

Original users of slru.c were all producing 4-digit filenames, so that
was all that that code was prepared to handle. Changes to multixact.c
in the course of commit 0ac5ad5134 made pg_multixact/members create
5-digit filenames once a certain threshold was reached, which
SlruScanDirectory wasn't prepared to deal with; in particular,
5-digit-name files were not removed during truncation. Change that
routine to make it aware of those files, and have it process them just
like any others.
Right now, some pg_multixact/members directories will contain a mixture
of 4-char and 5-char filenames. A future commit is expected fix things
so that each slru.c user declares the correct maximum width for the
files it produces, to avoid such unsightly mixtures.
Noticed while investigating bug #8673 reported by Serge Negodyuck.
In the 9.2 code for extending multixact/members, the logic was very
simple because the number of entries in a members page was a proper
divisor of 2^32, and thus at 2^32 wraparound the logic for page switch
was identical than at any other page boundary. In commit 0ac5ad5134 I
failed to realize this and introduced code that was not able to go over
the 2^32 boundary. Fix that by ensuring that when we reach the last
page of the last segment we correctly zero the initial page of the
initial segment, using correct uint32-wraparound-safe arithmetic.
Noticed while investigating bug #8673 reported by Serge Negodyuck, as
diagnosed by Andres Freund.
In pg_multixact/members, relying on modulo-2^32 arithmetic for
wraparound handling doesn't work all that well. Because we don't
explicitely track wraparound of the allocation counter for members, it
is possible that the "live" area exceeds 2^31 entries; trying to remove
SLRU segments that are "old" according to the original logic might lead
to removal of segments still in use. To fix, have the truncation
routine use a tailored SlruScanDirectory callback that keeps track of
the live area in actual use; that way, when the live range exceeds 2^31
entries, the oldest segments still live will not get removed untimely.
This new SlruScanDir callback needs to take care not to remove segments
that are "in the future": if new SLRU segments appear while the
truncation is ongoing, make sure we don't remove them. This requires
examination of shared memory state to recheck for false positives, but
testing suggests that this doesn't cause a problem. The original coding
didn't suffer from this pitfall because segments created when truncation
is running are never considered to be removable.

generate_bitmap_or_paths() doesn't need to be exported, and we can
drop its rather klugy restriction_only flag.
It's possible to extract a restriction OR clause from a join clause that
has the form of an OR-of-ANDs, if each sub-AND includes a clause that
mentions only one specific relation. While PG has been aware of that idea
for many years, the code previously only did it if it could extract an
indexable OR clause. On reflection, though, that seems a silly limitation:
adding a restriction clause can be a win by reducing the number of rows
that have to be filtered at the join step, even if we have to test the
clause as a plain filter clause during the scan. This should be especially
useful for foreign tables, where the change can cut the number of rows that
have to be retrieved from the foreign server; but testing shows it can win
even on local tables. Per a suggestion from Robert Haas.
As a heuristic, I made the code accept an extracted restriction clause
if its estimated selectivity is less than 0.9, which will probably result
in accepting extracted clauses just about always. We might need to tweak
that later based on experience.
Since the code no longer has even a weak connection to Path creation,
remove orindxpath.c and create a new file optimizer/util/orclauses.c.
There's some additional janitorial cleanup of now-dead code that needs
to happen, but it seems like that's a fit subject for a separate commit.
There was an apparent attempt to limit the target database for
pg_restore to version 7.1.0 or later. Due to a leading zero this
was interpreted as an octal number, which allowed targets with
version numbers down to 2.87.36. The lowest actual release above
that was 6.0.0, so that was effectively the limit.
Since the success of the restore attempt will depend primarily on
on what statements were generated by the dump run, we don't want
pg_restore trying to guess whether a given target should be allowed
based on version number. Allow a connection to any version. Since
it is very unlikely that anyone would be using a recent version of
pg_restore to restore to a pre-6.0 database, this has little to no
practical impact, but it makes the code less confusing to read.
Issue reported and initial patch suggestion from Joel Jacobson
based on an article by Andrey Karpov reporting on issues found by
PVS-Studio static code analyzer. Final patch based on analysis by
Tom Lane. Back-patch to all supported branches.
Defining this symbol causes OS X 10.5 to use a buggy version of readdir(),
which can sometimes fail with EINVAL if the previously-fetched directory
entry has been deleted or renamed. In later OS X versions that bug has
been repaired, but we still don't need the #define because it's on by
default. So this is just an all-around bad idea, and we can do without it.
Instead of looking for characters that aren't valid in JSON numbers, we
simply pass the output string through the JSON number parser, and if it
fails the string is quoted. This means among other things that money and
domains over money will be quoted correctly and generate valid JSON.
Fixes bug #8676 reported by Anderson Cristian da Silva.
Backpatched to 9.2 where JSON generation was introduced.
The bug would only show up if the C sockaddr structure contained
zero in the first byte for a valid address; otherwise it would
fail to fail, which is probably why it went unnoticed for so long.
Patch submitted by Joel Jacobson after seeing an article by Andrey
Karpov in which he reports finding this through static code
analysis using PVS-Studio. While I was at it I moved a definition
of a local variable referenced in the buggy code to a more local
context.
Backpatch to all supported branches.
Most other range operations seem to work all right on domains,
but this one not so much, at least not since commit 918eee0c.
Per bug #8684 from Brett Neumeier.
Commit 37484ad2aa invalidated a good
chunk of documentation, so patch it up to reflect the new state of
play. Along the way, patch remaining documentation references to
FrozenXID to say instead FrozenTransactionId, so that they match the
way we actually spell it in the code.
Overly compact coding in makeOrderedSetArgs() led to a platform dependency:
if the compiler chose to execute the subexpressions in the wrong order,
list_length() might get applied to an already-modified List, giving a
value we didn't want. Per buildfarm.
This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set
aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in
SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(),
percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the
spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that
can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data.
Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting
process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the
support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API
function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of
the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the
immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to
install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that
infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up.
In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic
aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER
additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by
allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT.
It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types
but not these.

Instead of changing the tuple xmin to FrozenTransactionId, the combination
of HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED and HEAP_XMIN_INVALID, which were previously never
set together, is now defined as HEAP_XMIN_FROZEN. A variety of previous
proposals to freeze tuples opportunistically before vacuum_freeze_min_age
is reached have foundered on the objection that replacing xmin by
FrozenTransactionId might hinder debugging efforts when things in this
area go awry; this patch is intended to solve that problem by keeping
the XID around (but largely ignoring the value to which it is set).
Third-party code that checks for HEAP_XMIN_INVALID on tuples where
HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED might be set will be broken by this change. To fix,
use the new accessor macros in htup_details.h rather than consulting the
bits directly. HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin has been modified to return
FrozenTransactionId when the infomask bits indicate that the tuple is
frozen; use HeapTupleHeaderGetRawXmin when you already know that the
tuple isn't marked commited or frozen, or want the raw value anyway.
We currently do this in routines that display the xmin for user consumption,
in tqual.c where it's known to be safe and important for the avoidance of
extra cycles, and in the function-caching code for various procedural
languages, which shouldn't invalidate the cache just because the tuple
gets frozen.

We can allocate the initial relations-to-drop array when first needed,
instead of at function entry; this avoids allocating it when the
function is not going to do anything, which is most of the time.
Backpatch to 9.3, where this behavior was introduced by commit
279628a0a7.
There's more that could be done here, such as possible reworking of the
code to avoid having to palloc anything, but that doesn't sound as
backpatchable as this relatively minor change.

This ensures that all stdout output is flushed immediately, to match
stderr. This eliminates the need for fflush(stdout) calls sprinkled all
over the place.
