Alvaro Herrera a190738457 Fix out-of-array-bounds compiler warning
Since the array length check is using a post-increment operator, the
compiler complains that there's a potential write to one element beyond
the end of the array.  This is not possible currently: the only path to
this function is through pg_get_object_address(), which already verifies
that the input array is no more than two elements in length.  Still, a
bug is a bug.

No idea why my compiler doesn't complain about this ...

Alvaro Herrera a61fd5334e Support opfamily members in get_object_address
In the spirit of 890192e99a and 4464303405f: have get_object_address
understand individual pg_amop and pg_amproc objects.  There is no way to
refer to such objects directly in the grammar -- rather, they are almost
always considered an integral part of the opfamily that contains them.
(The only case that deals with them individually is ALTER OPERATOR
FAMILY ADD/DROP, which carries the opfamily address separately and thus
does not need it to be part of each added/dropped element's address.)
In event triggers it becomes possible to become involved with individual
amop/amproc elements, and this commit enables pg_get_object_address to
do so as well.

To make the overall coding simpler, this commit also slightly changes
the get_object_address representation for opclasses and opfamilies:
instead of having the AM name in the objargs array, I moved it as the
first element of the objnames array.  This enables the new code to use
objargs for the type names used by pg_amop and pg_amproc.

Alvaro Herrera 4464303405 Support default ACLs in get_object_address
In the spirit of 890192e99a, this time add support for the things
living in the pg_default_acl catalog.  These are not really "objects",
but they show up as such in event triggers.

There is no "DROP DEFAULT PRIVILEGES" or similar command, so it doesn't
look like the new representation given would be useful anywhere else, so
I didn't try to use it outside objectaddress.c.  (That might be a bug in
itself, but that would be material for another commit.)

Alvaro Herrera 890192e99a Support user mappings in get_object_address
Since commit 72dd233d3e we were trying to obtain object addressing
information in sql_drop event triggers, but that caused failures when
the drops involved user mappings.  This addition enables that to work
again.  Naturally, pg_get_object_address can work with these objects
now, too.

I toyed with the idea of removing DropUserMappingStmt as a node and
using DropStmt instead in the DropUserMappingStmt grammar production,
but that didn't go very well: for one thing the messages thrown by the
specific code are specialized (you get "server not found" if you specify
the wrong server, instead of a generic "user mapping for ... not found"
which you'd get it we were to merge this with RemoveObjects --- unless
we added even more special cases).  For another thing, it would require
to pass RoleSpec nodes through the objname/objargs representation used
by RemoveObjects, which works in isolation, but gets messy when
pg_get_object_address is involved.  So I dropped this part for now.

Alvaro Herrera cf34e373fc Fix user mapping object description
We were using "user mapping for user XYZ" as description for user mappings, but
that's ambiguous because users can have mappings on multiple foreign
servers; therefore change it to "for user XYZ on server UVW" instead.
Object identities for user mappings are also updated in the same way, in
branches 9.3 and above.

The incomplete description string was introduced together with the whole
SQL/MED infrastructure by commit cae565e503 of 8.4 era, so backpatch all

Alvaro Herrera a2e35b53c3 Change many routines to return ObjectAddress rather than OID
The changed routines are mostly those that can be directly called by
ProcessUtilitySlow; the intention is to make the affected object
information more precise, in support for future event trigger changes.
Originally it was envisioned that the OID of the affected object would
be enough, and in most cases that is correct, but upon actually
implementing the event trigger changes it turned out that ObjectAddress
is more widely useful.

Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument
that's an object address which provides further info about the executed
command.  To wit:

* for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of
  the new constraint

* for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the
  schema that originally contained the object.

* for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address
  of the object added to or dropped from the extension.

There's no user-visible change in this commit, and no functional change
either.

Alvaro Herrera 9c7dd35019 Fix opclass/opfamily identity strings
The original representation uses "opcname for amname", which is good
enough; but if we replace "for" with "using", we can apply the returned
identity directly in a DROP command, as in

DROP OPERATOR CLASS opcname USING amname

This slightly simplifies code using object identities to programatically
execute commands on these kinds of objects.

Note backwards-incompatible change:
The previous representation dates back to 9.3 when object identities
were introduced by commit f8348ea3, but we don't want to change the
behavior on released branches unnecessarily and so this is not

Alvaro Herrera 3f88672a4e Use TypeName to represent type names in certain commands
In COMMENT, DROP, SECURITY LABEL, and the new pg_get_object_address
function, we were representing types as a list of names, same as other
objects; but types are special objects that require their own
representation to be totally accurate.  In the original COMMENT code we
had a note about fixing it which was lost in the course of c10575ff00.
Change all those places to use TypeName instead, as suggested by that
comment.

Right now the original coding doesn't cause any bugs, so no backpatch.
It is more problematic for proposed future code that operate with object
addresses from the SQL interface; type details such as array-ness are
lost when working with the degraded representation.

Thanks to Petr Jelínek and Dimitri Fontaine for offlist help on finding
a solution to a shift/reduce grammar conflict.

Stephen Frost 143b39c185 Rename pg_rowsecurity -> pg_policy and other fixes
As pointed out by Robert, we should really have named pg_rowsecurity
pg_policy, as the objects stored in that catalog are policies.  This
patch fixes that and updates the column names to start with 'pol' to
match the new catalog name.

The security consideration for COPY with row level security, also
pointed out by Robert, has also been addressed by remembering and
re-checking the OID of the relation initially referenced during COPY
processing, to make sure it hasn't changed under us by the time we
finish planning out the query which has been built.

Robert and Alvaro also commented on missing OCLASS and OBJECT entries
for POLICY (formerly ROWSECURITY or POLICY, depending) in various
places.  This patch fixes that too, which also happens to add the
ability to COMMENT on policies.

In passing, attempt to improve the consistency of messages, comments,
and documentation as well.  This removes various incarnations of
'row-security', 'row-level security', 'Row-security', etc, in favor
of 'policy', 'row level security' or 'row_security' as appropriate.

Stephen Frost 491c029dbc Row-Level Security Policies (RLS)
Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the
ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows
which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added
to a table.  Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are
added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions
defined to check records being added to a table are added to the
with-check options of the query.

New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are
controlled by the table owner.  Row Security is able to be enabled
and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using
ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY.

Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and
must be enabled for policies on the table to be used.  If no
policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny
policy is used and no records will be visible.

By default, row security is applied at all times except for the
table owner and the superuser.  A new GUC, row_security, is added
which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE.  When set to FORCE, row
security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers.
When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an
error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row
security.

Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure
that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will
error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security.
A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to
ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled.

A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the
superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row
security using row_security = OFF.

design, particularly Robert Haas for his feedback.

Tom Lane 0d79c0a8cc Make various variables const (read-only).
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

Robert Haas 568d4138c6 Use an MVCC snapshot, rather than SnapshotNow, for catalog scans.
SnapshotNow scans have the undesirable property that, in the face of
concurrent updates, the scan can fail to see either the old or the new
versions of the row.  In many cases, we work around this by requiring
DDL operations to hold AccessExclusiveLock on the object being
modified; in some cases, the existing locking is inadequate and random
failures occur as a result.  This commit doesn't change anything
related to locking, but will hopefully pave the way to allowing lock
strength reductions in the future.

The major issue has held us back from making this change in the past
is that taking an MVCC snapshot is significantly more expensive than
using a static special snapshot such as SnapshotNow.  However, testing
of various worst-case scenarios reveals that this problem is not
severe except under fairly extreme workloads.  To mitigate those
problems, we avoid retaking the MVCC snapshot for each new scan;
instead, we take a new snapshot only when invalidation messages have
been processed.  The catcache machinery already requires that
invalidation messages be sent before releasing the related heavyweight
lock; else other backends might rely on locally-cached data rather
than scanning the catalog at all.  Thus, making snapshot reuse
dependent on the same guarantees shouldn't break anything that wasn't
already subtly broken.

Kevin Grittner 3bf3ab8c56 Add a materialized view relations.
A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and
other physical properties like a table.  The rule is only used to
populate the table, references in queries refer to the
materialized data.

This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in
many cases.  Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements.
It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates
with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining
what is "fresh" data will be developed.  At some point it may even
be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of
references to underlying tables, but that requires the other
above-mentioned features to be working first.

GetForeignServerOidByName to get_foreign_server_oid, to match the
pattern we use for other object types.

Tom Lane 49a08ca1e9 Adjust the permissions required for COMMENT ON ROLE.
Formerly, any member of a role could change the role's comment, as of
course could superusers; but holders of CREATEROLE privilege could not,
unless they were also members.  This led to the odd situation that a
CREATEROLE holder could create a role but then could not comment on it.
It also seems a bit dubious to let an unprivileged user change his own
comment, let alone those of group roles he belongs to.  So, change the
rule to be "you must be superuser to comment on a superuser role, or
hold CREATEROLE to comment on non-superuser roles".  This is the same
as the privilege check for creating/dropping roles, and thus fits much
better with the rule for other object types, namely that only the owner
of an object can comment on it.

In passing, clean up the documentation for COMMENT a little bit.

Per complaint from Owen Jacobson and subsequent discussion.

Tom Lane 8d3b421f5f Allow non-superusers to create (some) extensions.
Remove the unconditional superuser permissions check in CREATE EXTENSION,
and instead define a "superuser" extension property, which when false
(not the default) skips the superuser permissions check.  In this case
the calling user only needs enough permissions to execute the commands
in the extension's installation script.  The superuser property is also
enforced in the same way for ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE cases.

In other ALTER EXTENSION cases and DROP EXTENSION, test ownership of
the extension rather than superuserness.  ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP needs
to insist on ownership of the target object as well; to do that without
duplicating code, refactor comment.c's big switch for permissions checks
into a separate function in objectaddress.c.

I also removed the superuserness checks in pg_available_extensions and
related functions; there's no strong reason why everybody shouldn't
be able to see that info.

Also invent an IF NOT EXISTS variant of CREATE EXTENSION, and use that
in pg_dump, so that dumps won't fail for installed-by-default extensions.
We don't have any of those yet, but we will soon.

This is all per discussion of wrapping the standard procedural languages
into extensions.  I'll make those changes in a separate commit; this is
just putting the core infrastructure in place.

Tom Lane caddcb8f4b Fix pg_upgrade to handle extensions.
This follows my proposal of yesterday, namely that we try to recreate the
previous state of the extension exactly, instead of allowing CREATE
EXTENSION to run a SQL script that might create some entirely-incompatible
on-disk state.  In --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump won't issue CREATE
EXTENSION at all, but instead uses a kluge function provided by
pg_upgrade_support to recreate the pg_extension row (and extension-level
pg_depend entries) without creating any member objects.  The member objects
are then restored in the same way as if they weren't members, in particular
using pg_upgrade's normal hacks to preserve OIDs that need to be preserved.
Then, for each member object, ALTER EXTENSION ADD is issued to recreate the
pg_depend entry that marks it as an extension member.

In passing, fix breakage in pg_upgrade's enum-type support: somebody didn't
fix it when the noise word VALUE got added to ALTER TYPE ADD.  Also,
rationalize parsetree representation of COMMENT ON DOMAIN and fix
get_object_address() to allow OBJECT_DOMAIN.

Tom Lane d9572c4e3b Core support for "extensions", which are packages of SQL objects.
This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions.
There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice
with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make
all the contrib modules depend on this feature.

In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in
AlterObjectNamespace() and callers.

Robert Haas 0d692a0dc9 Basic foreign table support.
Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED.  This commit does
not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
cannot yet be queried.  Support for foreign table scans will need to
be added in a future patch.  However, this patch creates the necessary
system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

Split the old typenameTypeId() into two functions: A new typenameTypeId() that
returns only a type OID, and typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and
typmod.  This isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.

Peter Eisentraut reports that some bits of the "address" variable

this likes the only excuse his compiler could have for thinking
that's possible.
