Previously pg_receivexlog created new connection for WAL streaming
even though another connection which had been established to create
or delete the replication slot was being left. This caused the unused
connection to be left uselessly until pg_receivexlog exited.
This bug was introduced by the commit d9f38c7.
This patch changes pg_receivexlog so that the connection for
the replication slot is reused for WAL streaming.

This reverts nearly all of commit 28f6cab61a
in favor of just using the typrelid we already have in pg_dump's TypeInfo
struct for the composite type. As coded, it'd crash if the composite type
had no attributes, since then the query would return no rows.
Back-patch to all supported versions. It seems to not really be a problem
in 9.0 because that version rejects the syntax "create type t as ()", but
we might as well keep the logic similar in all affected branches.

Most pg_dump.c global variables, which were passed down individually to
dumping routines, are now grouped as members of the new DumpOptions
struct, which is used as a local variable and passed down into routines
that need it. This helps future development efforts; in particular it
is said to enable a mode in which a parallel pg_dump run can output
multiple streams, and have them restored in parallel.
Also take the opportunity to clean up the pg_dump header files somewhat,

CreateReplicationSlot() and DropReplicationSlot() were not cleaning up
the query buffer in some cases (mostly error conditions) which meant a

pg_receivexlog already has the capability to use a replication slot to
reserve WAL on the upstream node. But the used slot currently has to
be created via SQL.
To allow using slots directly, without involving SQL, add
--create-slot and --drop-slot actions, analogous to the logical slot
manipulation support in pg_recvlogical.

Andres pointed out that there was an extra ';' in equalPolicies, which

Thanks to that, a different issue was discovered, specifically in
equalRSDescs. This change corrects eqaulRSDescs to return 'true' once
all policies have been confirmed logically identical. After stepping
through both functions to ensure correct behavior, I ran this for
about 12 hours of CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS runs of the regression tests
with no failures.
In addition, correct a few typos in the documentation which were pointed

It was confusing that to other commands, like initdb and postgres, you would

Buildfarm member tick identified an issue where the policies in the
relcache for a relation were were being replaced underneath a running
query, leading to segfaults while processing the policies to be added
to a query. Similar to how TupleDesc RuleLocks are handled, add in a
equalRSDesc() function to check if the policies have actually changed
and, if not, swap back the rsdesc field (using the original instead of
the temporairly built one; the whole structure is swapped and then
specific fields swapped back). This now passes a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS
for me and should resolve the buildfarm error.
In addition to addressing this, add a new chapter in Data Definition

its usage, change \d to always list policies (even if row security is

but it did need to be using has_privs_of_role()), and change the field
in pg_class to relrowsecurity from relhasrowsecurity, based on
Heikki's suggestion. Also from Heikki, only issue SET ROW_SECURITY in
pg_restore when talking to a 9.5+ server, list Bypass RLS in \du, and
document --enable-row-security options for pg_dump and pg_restore.
Lastly, fix a number of minor whitespace and typo issues from Heikki,

Patch by Pavel Stehule.
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.

With the unicode linestyle, this adds support to control if the

Pavel Stehule, with some additional changes by me.
In psql, expanded mode was not being displayed correctly when using
the normal ascii or unicode linestyles and border set to '3'. Now,
per the documentation, border '3' is really only sensible for HTML
and LaTeX formats, however, that's no excuse for ascii/unicode to
break in that case, and provisions had been made for psql to cleanly
handle this case (and it did, in non-expanded mode).
This was broken when ascii/unicode was initially added a good five
years ago because print_aligned_vertical_line wasn't passed in the
border setting being used by print_aligned_vertical but instead was
given the whole printTableContent. There really isn't a good reason
for vertical_line to have the entire printTableContent structure, so
just pass in the printTextFormat and border setting (similar to how
this is handled in horizontal_line).

Add --help=<topic> for the commandline, and \? <topic> as a backslash

do. "commands", "variables" and "options" currently exist as help

and commandline switches. Without parameters the help commands show
their previous topic.
Some further wordsmithing or extending of the added help content might
be needed; but there seems little benefit delaying the overall feature

psql's \s (print command history) doesn't work at all with recent libedit
versions when printing to the terminal, because libedit tries to do an
fchmod() on the target file which will fail if the target is /dev/tty.
(We'd already noted this in the context of the target being /dev/null.)
Even before that, it didn't work pleasantly, because libedit likes to
encode the command history file (to ensure successful reloading), which
renders it nigh unreadable, not to mention significantly different-looking
depending on exactly which libedit version you have. So let's forget using
write_history() for this purpose, and instead print the data ourselves,
using logic similar to that used to iterate over the history for newline
encoding/decoding purposes.
While we're at it, insert the ability to use the pager when \s is printing
to the terminal. This has been an acknowledged shortcoming of \s for many
years, so while you could argue it's not exactly a back-patchable bug fix
it still seems like a good improvement. Anyone who's seriously annoyed
at this can use "\s /dev/tty" or local equivalent to get the old behavior.
Experimentation with this showed that the history iteration logic was
actually rather broken when used with libedit. It turns out that with
libedit you have to use previous_history() not next_history() to advance
to more recent history entries. The easiest and most robust fix for this
seems to be to make a run-time test to verify which function to call.
We had not noticed this because libedit doesn't really need the newline
encoding logic: its own encoding ensures that command entries containing
newlines are reloaded correctly (unlike libreadline). So the effective
behavior with recent libedits was that only the oldest history entry got
newline-encoded or newline-decoded. However, because of yet other bugs in
history_set_pos(), some old versions of libedit allowed the existing loop
logic to reach entries besides the oldest, which means there may be libedit
~/.psql_history files out there containing encoded newlines in more than
just the oldest entry. To ensure we can reload such files, it seems
appropriate to back-patch this fix, even though that will result in some
incompatibility with older psql versions (ie, multiline history entries
written by a psql with this fix will look corrupted to a psql without it,
if its libedit is reasonably up to date).

This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.

findDependencyLoops() was not bright about cases where there are multiple

it was possible for this code to take unreasonable amounts of time (tens
of seconds on a database with a couple thousand objects), as reported in
bug #11033 from Joe Van Dyk. Joe's particular problem scenario involved
"pg_dump -a" mode with long chains of foreign key constraints, but I think
that similar problems could arise with other situations as long as there
were enough objects. To fix, add a flag array that lets us notice when we
arrive at the same object again while searching from a given start object.

Prior to 9.0, pg_dump handled comments on large objects by dumping a bunch
of COMMENT commands into a single BLOB COMMENTS archive object. With
sufficiently many such comments, some of the commands would likely get
split across bufferloads when restoring, causing failures in
direct-to-database restores (though no problem would be evident in text
output). This is the same type of issue we have with table data dumped as
INSERT commands, and it can be fixed in the same way, by using a mini SQL
lexer to figure out where the command boundaries are. Fortunately, the
COMMENT commands are no more complex to lex than INSERTs, so we can just
re-use the existing lexer for INSERTs.

It's critical that the backend's idea of LOBLKSIZE match the way data has
actually been divided up in pg_largeobject. While we don't provide any
direct way to adjust that value, doing so is a one-line source code change
and various people have expressed interest recently in changing it. So,
just as with TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, it seems prudent to record the value in
pg_control and cross-check that the backend's compiled-in setting matches
the on-disk data.
Also tweak the code in inv_api.c so that fetches from pg_largeobject
explicitly verify that the length of the data field is not more than
LOBLKSIZE. Formerly we just had Asserts() for that, which is no protection
at all in production builds. In some of the call sites an overlength data
value would translate directly to a security-relevant stack clobber, so it
seems worth one extra runtime comparison to be sure.
In the back branches, we can't change the contents of pg_control; but we
can still make the extra checks in inv_api.c, which will offer some amount
of protection against running with the wrong value of LOBLKSIZE.
Previously there's been a mix between 'slotname' and 'slot_name'. It's

Let's complain about e.g an invalid path or permission problem sooner rather
than later. Before this patch, we would only try to open the output file
after receiving the first decoded message from the server.
In yesterday's commit 2dc4f011fd, I tried
to force buffering of stdout/stderr in initdb to be what it is by
default when the program is run interactively on Unix (since that's how
most manual testing is done). This tripped over the fact that Windows
doesn't support _IOLBF mode. We dealt with that a long time ago in
syslogger.c by falling back to unbuffered mode on Windows. Export that
solution in port.h and use it in initdb.
Back-patch to 8.4, like the previous commit.
Don't close stdout on SIGHUP. Also, when a SIGHUP is received, close the
file immediately, rather than only after receiving some more data from
the server. Rename a variable, to avoid mentally dealing with double
negatives (not unsynced means synced).
Since this program may print to either stdout or stderr, the relative
ordering of its messages depends on the buffering behavior of those files.
Force stdout to be line-buffered and stderr to be unbuffered, ensuring
that the behavior will match standard Unix interactive behavior, even
when stdout and stderr are rerouted to a file.
Per complaint from Tomas Vondra. The particular case he pointed out is
new in HEAD, but issues of the same sort could arise in any branch with
other error messages, so back-patch to all branches.
I'm unsure whether we might not want to do this in other client programs
as well. For the moment, just fix initdb.
Historically we've printed a complaint for a bad locale setting, but then

a great idea, because rectifying an erroneous locale choice post-initdb
(perhaps long after data has been loaded) could be enormously expensive.
Better to complain and give the user a chance to double-check things.
The behavior was particularly bad if the bad setting came from environment
variables rather than a bogus command-line switch: in that case not only
was there a fallback to C/SQL_ASCII, but the printed complaint was quite
unhelpful. It's hard to be entirely sure what variables setlocale looked
at, but we can at least give a hint where the problem might be.
Per a complaint from Tomas Vondra.
The leak is fairly small and rare, but a leak nevertheless.

Commit d298b50a3b by Heikki Linnakangas
requested that the version check message be updated at next release, suggesting
that the appropriate text would be “9.3 or later”. The logic used for the check
indicates that the correct text for 9.4 is “9.3 or 9.4”, since the logic would
cause this to fail for later releases.
This was accidentally broken in commits cfa1b4a711/5e8e794e3b.

It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings
for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is
bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that
do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the
callers.
We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and
this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like
archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as
pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable,
but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra
pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted.

Commit 7d0f493f19 added infrastructure
to perform tests in assorted src/bin/ subdirectories, but forgot to
teach "make clean" to clean up the detritus the tests leave behind.
Before 9.4, such an aggregate couldn't be declared, because its final
function would have to have polymorphic result type but no polymorphic
argument, which CREATE FUNCTION would quite properly reject. The
ordered-set-aggregate patch found a workaround: allow the final function
to be declared as accepting additional dummy arguments that have types
matching the aggregate's regular input arguments. However, we failed
to notice that this problem applies just as much to regular aggregates,
despite the fact that we had a built-in regular aggregate array_agg()
that was known to be undeclarable in SQL because its final function
had an illegal signature. So what we should have done, and what this
patch does, is to decouple the extra-dummy-arguments behavior from
ordered-set aggregates and make it generally available for all aggregate
declarations. We have to put this into 9.4 rather than waiting till
later because it slightly alters the rules for declaring ordered-set
aggregates.
The patch turned out a bit bigger than I'd hoped because it proved
necessary to record the extra-arguments option in a new pg_aggregate
column. I'd thought we could just look at the final function's pronargs
at runtime, but that didn't work well for variadic final functions.
It's probably just as well though, because it simplifies life for pg_dump
to record the option explicitly.
While at it, fix array_agg() to have a valid final-function signature,
and add an opr_sanity test to notice future deviations from polymorphic
consistency. I also marked the percentile_cont() aggregates as not
needing extra arguments, since they don't.
Previously it wasn't clear from --help that -F, -R, -z, -0 only

According to the Single Unix Spec and assorted man pages, you're supposed
to use the constants named AF_xxx when setting ai_family for a getaddrinfo
call. In a few places we were using PF_xxx instead. Use of PF_xxx
appears to be an ancient BSD convention that was not adopted by later
standardization. On BSD and most later Unixen, it doesn't matter much
because those constants have equivalent values anyway; but nonetheless
this code is not per spec.
In the same vein, replace PF_INET by AF_INET in one socket() call, which
wasn't even consistent with the other socket() call in the same function
let alone the remainder of our code.
Per investigation of a Cygwin trouble report from Marco Atzeri. It's
probably a long shot that this will fix his issue, but it's wrong in
any case.
In psql \d+, display oids only when they exist, and display replication

Add vacuumdb option --analyze-in-stages which runs ANALYZE three times
with different configuration settings, adopting the logic from the
analyze_new_cluster.sh script that pg_upgrade generates. That way,
users of pg_dump/pg_restore can also use that functionality.
Change pg_upgrade to create the script so that it calls vacuumdb instead
of implementing the logic itself.
Until now, when executing an aggregate function as a window function
within a window with moving frame start (that is, any frame start mode
except UNBOUNDED PRECEDING), we had to recalculate the aggregate from
scratch each time the frame head moved. This patch allows an aggregate
definition to include an alternate "moving aggregate" implementation
that includes an inverse transition function for removing rows from
the aggregate's running state. As long as this can be done successfully,
runtime is proportional to the total number of input rows, rather than
to the number of input rows times the average frame length.
This commit includes the core infrastructure, documentation, and regression
tests using user-defined aggregates. Follow-on commits will update some
of the built-in aggregates to use this feature.

There's no really compelling reason to refuse to do these read-only,
non-server-starting options as root, and there's at least one good
reason to allow -C: pg_ctl uses -C to find out the true data directory
location when pointed at a config-only directory. On Windows, this is
done before dropping administrator privileges, which means that pg_ctl
fails for administrators if and only if a config-only layout is used.
Since the root-privilege check is done so early in startup, it's a bit
awkward to check for these switches. Make the somewhat arbitrary
decision that we'll only skip the root check if -C is the first switch.
This is not just to make the code a bit simpler: it also guarantees that
we can't misinterpret a --boot mode switch. (While AuxiliaryProcessMain
doesn't currently recognize any such switch, it might have one in the
future.) This is no particular problem for pg_ctl, and since the whole
behavior is undocumented anyhow, it's not a documentation issue either.
(--describe-config only works as the first switch anyway, so this is
no restriction for that case either.)
Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_ctl first began to use -C.
MauMau, heavily edited by me
This is needed because Windows services may get started with a different
current directory than where pg_ctl is executed. We want relative -D
paths to be interpreted relative to pg_ctl's CWD, similarly to what
happens on other platforms.
In support of this, move the backend's make_absolute_path() function
into src/port/path.c (where it probably should have been long since)
and get rid of the rather inferior version in pg_regress.

It is possible for a view or materialized view to depend on a table's
primary key, if the view query relies on functional dependency to
abbreviate a GROUP BY list. This is problematic for pg_dump since we
ordinarily want to dump view definitions in the pre-data section but
indexes in post-data. pg_dump knows how to deal with this situation for
regular views, by breaking the view's ON SELECT rule apart from the view
proper. But it had not been taught what to do about materialized views,
and in fact mistakenly dumped them as regular views in such cases, as
seen in bug #9616 from Jesse Denardo.
If we had CREATE OR REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW, we could fix this in a
manner analogous to what's done for regular views; but we don't yet,
and we'd not back-patch such a thing into 9.3 anyway. As a hopefully-
temporary workaround, break the circularity by postponing the matview
into post-data altogether when this case occurs.

Previously, psql would print the "COPY nnn" command status only for COPY
commands executed server-side. Now it will print that for frontend copies
too (including \copy). However, we continue to suppress the command status
for COPY TO STDOUT, since in that case the copy data has been routed to the
same place that the command status would go, and there is a risk of the
status line being mistaken for another line of COPY data. Doing that would
break existing scripts, and it doesn't seem worth the benefit --- this case
seems fairly analogous to SELECT, for which we also suppress the command
status.

Commit 08146775ac changed do_copy() to
temporarily scribble on pset.cur_cmd_source. That was a mighty ugly bit of
code in any case, but in particular it broke handleCopyIn's ability to tell
whether it was reading from the current script source file (in which case
pset.lineno should be incremented for each line of COPY data), or from
someplace else (in which case it shouldn't). The former case still worked,
the latter not so much. The visible effect was that line numbers reported
for errors in a script file would be wrong if there were an earlier \copy
that was reading anything other than inline-in-the-script-file data.
To fix, introduce another pset field that holds the file do_copy wants the
COPY code to use. This is a little bit ugly, but less so than passing the
file down explicitly through several layers that aren't COPY-specific.
Extracted from a larger patch by Kumar Rajeev Rastogi; that patch also
changes printing of COPY command tags, which is not a bug fix and shouldn't
get back-patched. This particular idea was from a suggestion by Amit
Khandekar, if I'm reading the thread correctly.

In order for this to work, walsenders need the optional ability to
connect to a database, so the "replication" keyword now allows true
or false, for backward-compatibility, and the new value "database"
(which causes the "dbname" parameter to be respected).
walsender needs to loop not only when idle but also when sending
decoded data to the user and when waiting for more xlog data to decode.
This means that there are now three separate loops inside walsender.c;
although some refactoring has been done here, this is still a bit ugly.

This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log
stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is,
inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them.
It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema
of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a
so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of
this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be
modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system,
and to perform filtering.
Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding
system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream
changes via walsender.

Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a

Adjust handleCopyOut() to stop trying to write data once it's failed

additional attempts aren't going to do anything but waste time, and
in any case clean truncation of the output seems like a better behavior
than randomly dropping blocks in the middle.
Also remove dubious (and misleadingly documented) attempt to force our way
out of COPY_OUT state if libpq didn't do that. If we did have a situation
like that, it'd be a bug in libpq and would be better fixed there, IMO.
We can hope that commit fa4440f516 took care
of any such problems, anyway.
Also fix longstanding bug in handleCopyIn(): PQputCopyEnd() only supports
a non-null errormsg parameter in protocol version 3, and will actively
fail if one is passed in version 2. This would've made our attempts

There was a bug in the psql's meta command \conninfo. When the

information only from PQhost() which could not return hostaddr.
This patch adds PQhostaddr(), and changes \conninfo so that it

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.

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.

When wal_level=logical, we'll log columns from the old tuple as

a properly-configured logical replication solution to correctly
follow table updates even if they change the chosen key columns,
or, with REPLICA IDENTITY FULL, even if the table has no key at
all. Note that updates which do not modify the replica identity
column won't log anything extra, making the choice of a good key
(i.e. one that will rarely be changed) important to performance
when wal_level=logical is configured.
Each insert, update, or delete to a catalog table will also log
the CMIN and/or CMAX values of stamped by the current transaction.
This is necessary because logical decoding will require access to

row visibility may have been overwritten by the time we need them.

Original patch by Fabrízio de Royes Mello, heavily modified by me.
Formerly the planner had a hard-wired rule of thumb for guessing the amount
of space consumed by an aggregate function's transition state data. This
estimate is critical to deciding whether it's OK to use hash aggregation,
and in many situations the built-in estimate isn't very good. This patch
adds a column to pg_aggregate wherein a per-aggregate estimate can be
provided, overriding the planner's default, and infrastructure for setting
the column via CREATE AGGREGATE.
It may be that additional smarts will be required in future, perhaps even
a per-aggregate estimation function. But this is already a step forward.
This is extracted from a larger patch to improve the performance of numeric
and int8 aggregates. I (tgl) thought it was worth reviewing and committing
this infrastructure separately. In this commit, all built-in aggregates
are given aggtransspace = 0, so no behavior should change.

In --inserts and especially --column-inserts mode, we can get a useful
speedup by generating the common prefix of all a table's INSERT commands
just once, and then printing the prebuilt string for each row. This avoids
multiple invocations of fmtId() and other minor fooling around.

The previous coding was fairly unreadable and drew double-free warnings
from clang. I believe the double free was actually not reachable, because
PQconnectionNeedsPassword is coded to not return true if a password was
provided, so that the loop can't iterate more than twice. Nonetheless
it seems worth rewriting. No back-patch since this is just cosmetic.

This is a similar fix as c6ec8793aa
9.2. This should never happen in 9.3 and newer since the special case
cannot happen there, but this patch synchronizes up the code so there
is no confusion on why they're different. An empty block is as harmless
in 9.3 as it was in 9.2, and can safely be ignored.
Pending patches for logical replication will use this to determine
which columns of a tuple ought to be considered as its candidate key.

The previous commit was intended to make psql show the full path name when
doing a \s (history save), but it was very badly implemented and would show
confusing if not outright wrong information in many situations; for
instance if the path name given to \s is absolute, or if \cd commands
involving relative paths have been issued. Consensus seems to be that
we don't especially need this functionality in \s, and certainly not in \s
alone. So revert rather than trying to fix it up. Per gripe from
Ian Barwick.
Although the bogus behavior exists in all supported versions, I'm not
back-patching, because the work created for translators (by change of
a translatable message) would probably outweigh the value of what is
after all a mostly-cosmetic change.
The parsing of WAL filenames of segments larger than > 255 was broken,
making pg_receivexlog unable to restart streaming after stopping it.
The bug was introduced by the changes in 9.3 to represent WAL segment number
as a 64-bit integer instead of two ints, log and seg. To fix, replace the
plain sscanf call with XLogFromFileName macro, which does the conversion
from log+seg to a 64-bit integer correcly.
Reported by Mika Eloranta.
This prevents the recently-added probe for shm_open() from crashing
on platforms that are impolite enough to deliver a signal rather than
returning ENOSYS for an unimplemented kernel call. At least on the
one known example (HPUX 10.20), ignoring SIGSYS does result in the
desired behavior of getting an ENOSYS error return instead.
Per discussion, we might later wish to do this in the backend as well,
but for now it seems sufficient to do it in initdb.
When we are using a C99-compliant vsnprintf implementation (which should be
most places, these days) it is worth the trouble to make use of its report
of how large the buffer needs to be to succeed. This patch adjusts
stringinfo.c and some miscellaneous usages in pg_dump to do that, relying
on the logic recently added in libpgcommon's psprintf.c. Since these
places want to know the number of bytes written once we succeed, modify the
API of pvsnprintf() to report that.
There remains near-duplicate logic in pqexpbuffer.c, but since that code
is in libpq, psprintf.c's approach of exit()-on-error isn't appropriate
for use there. Also note that I didn't bother touching the multitude
of places that call (v)snprintf without any attempt to provide a resizable
buffer.
Release-note-worthy incompatibility: the API of appendStringInfoVA()
changed. If there's any third-party code that's calling that directly,
it will need tweaking along the same lines as in this patch.

Since an increasing number of views and foreign tables are now able
to be updated, complete with any table, view, or foreign table in
the relevant contexts. This avoids the need to use a complex
query that may be both confusing to end-users and nonperformant
to construct the list of possible completions.
Dean Rasheed, persuant to a complaint from Bernd Helme and a
suggestion from Peter Eisentraut
asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally
badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in
the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD
implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with
non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with
on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable
either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what
we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon
since it's not really libpgport material.
I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but
there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf()
in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.
Continuing 63f32f3416, libpgcommon should
depend on libpgport, but not vice versa. But wait_result_to_str() in
wait_error.c depends on pstrdup() in libpgcommon. So move exec.c and
wait_error.c from libpgport to libpgcommon. Also switch the link order
in the place that's actually used by the failing ecpg builds.
The function declarations have been left in port.h for now. That should
perhaps be separated sometime.
Now that msgfmt is run with -c by default, older versions of gettext are

why this hasn't been noticed before.

When a timeline history file is fetched from server, it is initially created
with a temporary file name, and renamed to place. However, the temporary
file name was constructed using an uninitialized buffer. Usually that meant
that the file was created in current directory instead of the target, which
usually goes unnoticed, but if the target is on a different filesystem than
the current dir, the rename() would fail. Fix that.
The second issue is that pg_receivexlog would not take .partial files into
account when determining when scanning the target directory for existing
WAL files. If the timeline has switched in the server several times in the
last WAL segment, and pg_receivexlog is restarted, it would choose a too
old starting point. That's not a problem as long as the old WAL segment
exists in the server and can be streamed over, but will cause a failure if
it's not.
Backpatch to 9.3, where this timeline handling code was written.
Analysed by Andrew Gierth, bug #8453, based on a bug report on IRC.
There's no inherent reason why an aggregate function can't be variadic
(even VARIADIC ANY) if its transition function can handle the case.
Indeed, this patch to add the feature touches none of the planner or
executor, and little of the parser; the main missing stuff was DDL and
pg_dump support.
It is true that variadic aggregates can create the same sort of ambiguity
about parameters versus ORDER BY keys that was complained of when we
(briefly) had both one- and two-argument forms of string_agg(). However,
the policy formed in response to that discussion only said that we'd not
create any built-in aggregates with varying numbers of arguments, not that
we shouldn't allow users to do it. So the logical extension of that is
we can allow users to make variadic aggregates as long as we're wary about
shipping any such in core.
In passing, this patch allows aggregate function arguments to be named, to
the extent of remembering the names in pg_proc and dumping them in pg_dump.
You can't yet call an aggregate using named-parameter notation. That seems
like a likely future extension, but it'll take some work, and it's not what
this patch is really about. Likewise, there's still some work needed to
make window functions handle VARIADIC fully, but I left that for another
day.
initdb forced because of new aggvariadic field in Aggref parse nodes.
We already did this for -t (--table) in 9.3, but missed the other similar
options. For consistency, allow all of them to be specified multiple times.
Unfortunately it's too late to sneak this into 9.3, so commit to master
only.
This keeps the usual trigger file name unchanged from 9.2, avoiding nasty
issues if you use a pre-9.3 pg_ctl binary with a 9.3 server or vice versa.
The fallback behavior of creating a full checkpoint before starting up is now
triggered by a file called "fallback_promote". That can be useful for
debugging purposes, but we don't expect any users to have to resort to that
and we might want to remove that in the future, which is why the fallback
mechanism is undocumented.
For simple views which are automatically updatable, this patch allows
the user to specify what level of checking should be done on records
being inserted or updated. For 'LOCAL CHECK', new tuples are validated
against the conditionals of the view they are being inserted into, while
for 'CASCADED CHECK' the new tuples are validated against the
conditionals for all views involved (from the top down).
This option is part of the SQL specification.

In streamutil.c:GetConnection(), upgrade failure to parse the

Most callers already immediately exited, but pg_receivexlog would

GetConnection() was already expected to exit(1) in some cases
(eg: failure to allocate memory or if unable to determine the
integer_datetimes flag), so this change shouldn't surprise anyone.
Began looking at this due to the Coverity scanner complaining that
we were leaking err_msg in this case- no longer an issue since we
just exit(1) immediately.

Back patch to 9.3 where parallel pg_dump was introduced.
In 9.3, there's no particular limit on the number of bgworkers;
instead, we just count up the number that are actually registered,
and use that to set MaxBackends. However, that approach causes
problems for Hot Standby, which needs both MaxBackends and the
size of the lock table to be the same on the standby as on the
master, yet it may not be desirable to run the same bgworkers in
both places. 9.3 handles that by failing to notice the problem,
which will probably work fine in nearly all cases anyway, but is
not theoretically sound.
A further problem with simply counting the number of registered
workers is that new workers can't be registered without a
postmaster restart. This is inconvenient for administrators,
since bouncing the postmaster causes an interruption of service.
Moreover, there are a number of applications for background
processes where, by necessity, the background process must be
started on the fly (e.g. parallel query). While this patch
doesn't actually make it possible to register new background
workers after startup time, it's a necessary prerequisite.

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.
Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier and Andres Freund.
When there's a comment on an index that was created with UNIQUE or PRIMARY
KEY constraint syntax, we need to label the comment as depending on the
constraint not the index, since only the constraint object actually appears
in the dump. This incorrect dependency can lead to parallel pg_restore
trying to restore the comment before the index has been created, per bug
#8257 from Lloyd Albin.
This patch fixes pg_dump to produce the right dependency in dumps made
in the future. Usually we also try to hack pg_restore to work around
bogus dependencies, so that existing (wrong) dumps can still be restored in
parallel mode; but that doesn't seem practical here since there's no easy
way to relate the constraint dump entry to the comment after the fact.

In the primary_conninfo line that "pg_basebackup -R" generates, single

Also, don't quote parameter values unnecessarily, to make the connection

quoting.

If a standby server has a cascading standby server connected to it, it's
possible that WAL has already been sent up to the next WAL page boundary,
splitting a WAL record in the middle, when the first standby server is
promoted. Don't throw an assertion failure or error in walsender if that
happens.
Also, fix a variant of the same bug in pg_receivexlog: if it had already
received WAL on previous timeline up to a segment boundary, when the
upstream standby server is promoted so that the timeline switch record falls
on the previous segment, pg_receivexlog would miss the segment containing
the timeline switch. To fix that, have walsender send the position of the
timeline switch at end-of-streaming, in addition to the next timeline's ID.
It was previously assumed that the switch happened exactly where the
streaming stopped.
Note: this is an incompatible change in the streaming protocol. You might
get an error if you try to stream over timeline switches, if the client is
running 9.3beta1 and the server is more recent. It should be fine after a
reconnect, however.
Reported by Fujii Masao.
Previously this state was represented by whether the view's disk file had
zero or nonzero size, which is problematic for numerous reasons, since it's
breaking a fundamental assumption about heap storage. This was done to
allow unlogged matviews to revert to unpopulated status after a crash
despite our lack of any ability to update catalog entries post-crash.
However, this poses enough risk of future problems that it seems better to
not support unlogged matviews until we can find another way. Accordingly,
revert that choice as well as a number of existing kluges forced by it
in favor of creating a pg_class.relispopulated flag column.
Very old versions of msgfmt choke on these specific messages, for reasons
that are unclear at the moment. Remove them so that we can ship a beta
release and not get complaints from testers (these messages will just go
untranslated, instead, and we're hardly at 100% coverage anyway).
Peter Eisentraut will look for a better fix later.

Previously, libpq and the backend had opposite ideas about whether
it was necessary for the client to send a CopyDone message after

COPY BOTH mode. Fix libpq so that works correctly, adopting the
backend's notion that an ErrorResponse kills the copy in both
directions.
Adjust receivelog.c to avoid a degradation in the quality of the
resulting error messages. libpqwalreceiver.c is already doing
the right thing, so no adjustment needed there.
Add an explicit statement to the documentation explaining how
this part of the protocol is supposed to work, in the hopes of
avoiding future confusion in this area.
Since the consequences of all this confusion are very limited,
especially in the back-branches where no client ever attempts
to exit COPY BOTH mode without closing the connection entirely,
no back-patch.
On non-Windows systems, sys/time.h was pulled in by portability/instr_time.h,

This changes the behavior of the start and stop actions to exit
successfully if the server was already started or stopped.
This changes the default behavior of the start action: Before, if the
server was already running, it would print a message and succeed. Now,
that situation will result in an error. When running in idempotent
mode, no message is printed and pg_ctl exits successfully.
It was considered to just make the idempotent behavior the default and
only option, but pg_upgrade needs the old behavior.
The intent was that being populated would, long term, be just one
of the conditions which could affect whether a matview was
scannable; being populated should be necessary but not always
sufficient to scan the relation. Since only CREATE and REFRESH
currently determine the scannability, names and comments
accidentally conflated these concepts, leading to confusion.
Also add missing locking for the SQL function which allows a
test for scannability, and fix a modularity violatiion.
Per complaints from Tom Lane, although its not clear that these
will satisfy his concerns. Hopefully this will at least better
frame the discussion.
Counting newlines shows that quite a few recent patches have neglected
to update the output-lines count given to PageOutput(). Fortunately
it's not terribly critical that this be exact, since we long since

we ought to think of a way to not have to maintain this manually anymore.
9.2 uses a kluge representation of "indislive"; we have to account for
that when examining pg_index. Simplest solution is to check indisready
for 9.0 and 9.1 as well; that's harmless though unnecessary, so it's
not worth making a version distinction for.
Fixes oversight in commit 683abc73df,
as noted by Andres Freund.
Move functions used only by pg_dump and pg_restore from dumputils.c to a new
file, pg_backup_utils.c. dumputils.c is linked into psql and some programs
in bin/scripts, so it seems good to keep it slim. The parallel functionality
is moved to parallel.c, as is exit_horribly, because the interesting code in
exit_horribly is parallel-related.
This refactoring gets rid of the on_exit_msg_func function pointer. It was
problematic, because a modern gcc version with -Wmissing-format-attribute
complained if it wasn't marked with PF_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE, but the ancient gcc
version that Tom Lane's old HP-UX box has didn't accept that attribute on a
function pointer, and gave an error. We still use a similar function pointer
trick for getLocalPQBuffer() function, to use a thread-local version of that
in parallel mode on Windows, but that dodges the problem because it doesn't
take printf-like arguments.
Dumping invalid indexes can cause problems at restore time, for example
if the reason the index creation failed was because it tried to enforce
a uniqueness condition not satisfied by the table's data. Also, if the
index creation is in fact still in progress, it seems reasonable to
consider it to be an uncommitted DDL change, which pg_dump wouldn't be
expected to dump anyway.
Back-patch to all active versions, and teach them to ignore invalid
indexes in servers back to 8.2, where the concept was introduced.

For getting the server's version in numeric form, use PQserverVersion().
It does the exact same parsing as dumputils.c's parse_version(), and has
been around in libpq for a long time. For the client's version, just use
the PG_VERSION_NUM constant.
A new 'starttli' field was added to the response of BASE_BACKUP command.
Make pg_basebackup tolerate the case that it's missing, so that it still

Add an explicit check for the server version, so that you get a nicer error
message if you try to use it with a pre-9.1 server.
The streaming protocol message format changed in 9.3, so -X stream still won't
work with pre-9.3 servers. I added a version check to ReceiveXLogStream()
earlier, but write that slightly differently, so that in 9.4, it will still
work with a 9.3 server. (In 9.4, the error message needs to be adjusted to
"9.3 or above", though). Also, if the version check fails, don't retry.
New infrastructure is added which creates a set number of workers
(threads on Windows, forked processes on Unix). Jobs are then
handed out to these workers by the master process as needed.
pg_restore is adjusted to use this new infrastructure in place of the
old setup which created a new worker for each step on the fly. Parallel
dumps acquire a snapshot clone in order to stay consistent, if
available.
The parallel option is selected by the -j / --jobs command line
parameter of pg_dump.

We had two copies of this function in the backend and libpq, which was
already pretty bogus, but it turns out that we need it in some other
programs that don't use libpq (such as pg_test_fsync). So put it where
it probably should have been all along. The signal-mask-initialization
support in src/backend/libpq/pqsignal.c stays where it is, though, since
we only need that in the backend.
This GUC allows limiting the time spent waiting to acquire any one
heavyweight lock.
In support of this, improve the recently-added timeout infrastructure
to permit efficiently enabling or disabling multiple timeouts at once.
That reduces the performance hit from turning on lock_timeout, though
it's still not zero.

Even though this patch had no user-visible difference, better keep the code
in psqlscan.l sync with the backend lexer. And of course it's nice to shrink
the psql binary, too. Ecpg's version of the lexer doesn't have the error
rule, it doesn't try to avoid backing up, so it doesn't need to be modified.
As reminded by Tom Lane
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.

This includes backend "COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM '...'" syntax, and corresponding
psql \copy syntax. Like with reading/writing files, the backend version is
superuser-only, and in the psql version, the program is run in the client.
In the passing, the psql \copy STDIN/STDOUT syntax is subtly changed: if you
the stdin/stdout is quoted, it's now interpreted as a filename. For example,
"\copy foo from 'stdin'" now reads from a file called 'stdin', not from
standard input. Before this, there was no way to specify a filename called
stdin, stdout, pstdin or pstdout.
This creates a new function in pgport, wait_result_to_str(), which can

There's no harm in excessive quoting per se, but it makes the strings nicer

the single-quotes are escaped when the connection string is passed as a
shell argument.
Like with pg_basebackup and pg_receivexlog, it's a bit strange to call the

You could already pass a database name just by passing it as the last
option, without -d. This is an alias for that, like the -d/--dbname option
in psql and many other client applications. For consistency.
Without this, there's no way to pass arbitrary libpq connection parameters
to these applications. It's a bit strange that the option is called
-d/--dbname, when in fact you can *not* pass a database name in it, but it's
consistent with other client applications where a connection string is also
passed using -d.
Original patch by Amit Kapila, heavily modified by me.
If a database name contained a '=' character, pg_dumpall failed. The problem
was in the way pg_dumpall passes the database name to pg_dump on the
command line. If it contained a '=' character, pg_dump would interpret it
as a libpq connection string instead of a plain database name.
To fix, pass the database name to pg_dump as a connection string,
"dbname=foo", with the database name escaped if necessary.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
We now write one file per database and one global file, instead of
having the whole thing in a single huge file. This reduces the I/O that
must be done when partial data is required -- which is all the time,
because each process only needs information on its own database anyway.
Also, the autovacuum launcher does not need data about tables and
functions in each database; having the global stats for all DBs is
enough.
Catalog version bumped because we have a new subdir under PGDATA.

Other discussion by Heikki Linnakangas, Tom Lane.
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
The reason this wasn't supported before was that GiST indexes need an
increasing sequence to detect concurrent page-splits. In a regular WAL-
logged GiST index, the LSN of the page-split record is used for that
purpose, and in a temporary index, we can get away with a backend-local
counter. Neither of those methods works for an unlogged relation.
To provide such an increasing sequence of numbers, create a "fake LSN"
counter that is saved and restored across shutdowns. On recovery, unlogged
relations are blown away, so the counter doesn't need to survive that
either.
Jeevan Chalke, based on discussions with Robert Haas, Tom Lane and me.
This isn't used for anything but a sanity check at the moment, but it could
be highly valuable for debugging purposes. It could also be used to recreate
timeline history by traversing WAL, which seems useful.
When there are zero result rows, in expanded mode, "(No rows)" is
printed. So far, there was no way to turn this off. Now, when
tuples-only mode is turned on, nothing is printed in this case.
Without this, building in src/bin/scripts directly will fail if
libpgport wasn't built first. Other bin components are handled the same
way.
Phil Sorber
In the previous coding, psql's state variable saying that output should
go to a file was only reset after successful completion of a query
returning tuples. Thus for example,
regression=# select 1/0
regression-# \g somefile
ERROR: division by zero
regression=# select 1/2;
regression=#
... huh, I wonder where that output went. Even more oddly, the state
was not reset even if it's the file that's causing the failure:
regression=# select 1/2 \g /foo
/foo: Permission denied
regression=# select 1/2;
/foo: Permission denied
regression=# select 1/2;
/foo: Permission denied
This seems to me not to satisfy the principle of least surprise.
\g is certainly not documented in a way that suggests its effects are
at all persistent.
To fix, adjust the code so that the flag is reset at exit from SendQuery
no matter what happened.
Noted while reviewing the \gset patch, which had comparable issues.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but I'll refrain from back-patching for now.
pg_ctl promote -m fast will skip the checkpoint at end of recovery so that we
can achieve very fast failover when the apply delay is low. Write new WAL record
XLOG_END_OF_RECOVERY to allow us to switch timeline correctly for downstream log
readers. If we skip synchronous end of recovery checkpoint we request a normal
spread checkpoint so that the window of re-recovery is low.

Bug report and original patch from Alexander Law,
reviewed and reworked by Noah Misch.
Backpatch to all live branches.
This patch introduces two additional lock modes for tuples: "SELECT FOR
KEY SHARE" and "SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE". These don't block each
other, in contrast with already existing "SELECT FOR SHARE" and "SELECT
FOR UPDATE". UPDATE commands that do not modify the values stored in
the columns that are part of the key of the tuple now grab a SELECT FOR
NO KEY UPDATE lock on the tuple, allowing them to proceed concurrently
with tuple locks of the FOR KEY SHARE variety.
Foreign key triggers now use FOR KEY SHARE instead of FOR SHARE; this
means the concurrency improvement applies to them, which is the whole
point of this patch.
The added tuple lock semantics require some rejiggering of the multixact
module, so that the locking level that each transaction is holding can
be stored alongside its Xid. Also, multixacts now need to persist
across server restarts and crashes, because they can now represent not
only tuple locks, but also tuple updates. This means we need more
careful tracking of lifetime of pg_multixact SLRU files; since they now
persist longer, we require more infrastructure to figure out when they
can be removed. pg_upgrade also needs to be careful to copy
pg_multixact files over from the old server to the new, or at least part
of multixact.c state, depending on the versions of the old and new
servers.
Tuple time qualification rules (HeapTupleSatisfies routines) need to be
careful not to consider tuples with the "is multi" infomask bit set as
being only locked; they might need to look up MultiXact values (i.e.
possibly do pg_multixact I/O) to find out the Xid that updated a tuple,
whereas they previously were assured to only use information readily
available from the tuple header. This is considered acceptable, because
the extra I/O would involve cases that would previously cause some
commands to block waiting for concurrent transactions to finish.
Another important change is the fact that locking tuples that have
previously been updated causes the future versions to be marked as
locked, too; this is essential for correctness of foreign key checks.
This causes additional WAL-logging, also (there was previously a single
WAL record for a locked tuple; now there are as many as updated copies
of the tuple there exist.)
With all this in place, contention related to tuples being checked by
foreign key rules should be much reduced.
As a bonus, the old behavior that a subtransaction grabbing a stronger
tuple lock than the parent (sub)transaction held on a given tuple and
later aborting caused the weaker lock to be lost, has been fixed.
Many new spec files were added for isolation tester framework, to ensure
overall behavior is sane. There's probably room for several more tests.
There were several reviewers of this patch; in particular, Noah Misch
and Andres Freund spent considerable time in it. Original idea for the
patch came from Simon Riggs, after a problem report by Joel Jacobson.
Most code is from me, with contributions from Marti Raudsepp, Alexander
Shulgin, Noah Misch and Andres Freund.
This patch was discussed in several pgsql-hackers threads; the most
important start at the following message-ids:

This currently does little except serve as documentation. (The one case
where it has a performance benefit, SERIALIZABLE mode in 9.1 and up, was
already using READ ONLY mode.) However, it's possible that it might have
performance benefits in future, and in any case it seems like good
practice since it would catch any accidentally non-read-only operations.

Remove extra line at bottom of table for new 'latex' mode border=3.
Also update 'latex'-longtable 'tableattr' docs to say
'whitespace-separated' instead of 'space'.
This mirrors the changes done earlier to the server in standby mode. When
receivelog reaches the end of a timeline, as reported by the server, it
fetches the timeline history file of the next timeline, and restarts
streaming from the new timeline by issuing a new START_STREAMING command.
When pg_receivexlog crosses a timeline, it leaves the .partial suffix on the
last segment on the old timeline. This helps you to tell apart a partial
segment left in the directory because of a timeline switch, and a completed
segment. If you just follow a single server, it won't make a difference, but
it can be significant in more complicated scenarios where new WAL is still
generated on the old timeline.
This includes two small changes to the streaming replication protocol:
First, when you reach the end of timeline while streaming, the server now
sends the TLI of the next timeline in the server's history to the client.
pg_receivexlog uses that as the next timeline, so that it doesn't need to
parse the timeline history file like a standby server does. Second, when
BASE_BACKUP command sends the begin and end WAL positions, it now also sends
the timeline IDs corresponding the positions.
When truncating at the end, like before, the output would often end up
just showing the path instead of the filename.
Also increase the length of the filename by 5, which still keeps us at
less than 80 characters in most outputs.
On top of the previous support in pg_dump, add support to specify
multiple tables (by using the -t option multiple times) to
pg_restore, clsuterdb, reindexdb and vacuumdb.

On second thought, "none" could mislead to think that you're connected a
database with that name. Duplicate the whole string, so that it can be
more easily translated. In back-branches, thought, just use an empty string
in place of the database name, to avoid adding a translatable string.
Adds commandline option -R to pg_basebackup that creates a recovery.conf which
enables standby mode using the same parameters that pg_basebackup used to
connect to the master, and writes it into the output directory (or injects it
in the tar file when tar format is used).

This makes it possible to include them only where they are used, so
we can avoid the conflict of the uid_t and gid_t datatypes that happened
in plperl (since plperl doesn't need the tar functions)
Move some of the tar functionality that existed mostly duplicated
in both pg_dump and the walsender basebackup functionality into
port/tar.c instead, so it can be used from both. It will also be
used by pg_basebackup in the future, which would've caused a third
copy of it around.

This gets rid of XLByteLT, XLByteLE, XLByteEQ and XLByteAdvance.
These were useful for brevity when XLogRecPtrs were split in
xlogid/xrecoff; but now that they are simple uint64's, they are just
clutter. The only downside to making this change would be ease of
backporting patches, but that has been negated by other substantive
changes to the involved code anyway. The clarity of simpler expressions
makes the change worthwhile.
Most of the changes are mechanical, but in a couple of places, the patch
author chose to invert the operator sense, making the code flow more
logical (and more in line with preceding comments).

Because the client encoding might not match the server encoding,

Commit 729205571e added privileges on data
types, but there were a number of oversights. The implementation of

utterly innocent of the whole concept. Per bug #7741 from Nathan Alden,
and subsequent wider investigation.
This allows recovery to notice certain incorrect recovery scenarios.
If a server has recovered to point X on timeline 5, and you restart
recovery, it better be on timeline 5 when it reaches point X again, not on
some timeline with a higher ID. This can happen e.g if you a standby server
is shut down, a new timeline appears in the WAL archive, and the standby
server is restarted. It will try to follow the new timeline, which is wrong
because some WAL on the old timeline was already replayed before shutdown.
Requires an initdb (or at least pg_resetxlog), because this adds a field to
the control file.

Since we've already chdir'd into the data directory, the file should
be referenced as just "postmaster.pid", without prefixing the directory
path. This is harmless in the normal case where an absolute PGDATA path
is used, but quite dangerous if a relative path is specified, since the
program might then fail to notice an active postmaster.
Reported by Hari Babu. This got broken in my commit
eb5949d190, so patch all active versions.
Without this, the connection will be killed after timeout if
wal_sender_timeout is set in the server.
Original patch by Amit Kapila, modified by me to fit recent changes in the
code.
We used to send structs wrapped in CopyData messages, which works as long as
the client and server agree on things like endianess, timestamp format and
alignment. That's good enough for running a standby server, which has to run
on the same platform anyway, but it's useful for tools like pg_receivexlog
to work across platforms.
This breaks protocol compatibility of streaming replication, but we never
promised that to be compatible across versions, anyway.
Represent a sequence's current value as a separate TableDataInfo dumpable
object, so that it can be dumped within the data section of the archive
rather than in pre-data. This fixes an undesirable inconsistency between
the meanings of "--data-only" and "--section=data", and also fixes dumping
of sequences that are marked as extension configuration tables, as per a
report from Marko Kreen back in July. The main cost is that we do one more
SQL query per sequence, but that's probably not very meaningful in most
databases.
Back-patch to 9.1, since it has the extension configuration issue even
though not the --section switch.
In commit 4317e0246c, I accidentally broke
this behavior while rearranging code to ensure that --create wouldn't
affect whether a DATABASE entry gets put into archive-format output.
Thus, 9.2 would issue a DROP DATABASE command in --clean mode, which is
either useless or dangerous depending on the usage scenario.
It should not do that, and no longer does.
A bright spot is that this refactoring makes it easy to allow the
combination of --clean and --create to work sensibly, ie, emit DROP
DATABASE then CREATE DATABASE before reconnecting. Ordinarily we'd
consider that a feature addition and not back-patch it, but it seems
silly to not include the extra couple of lines required in the 9.2
version of the code.
Per report from Guillaume Lelarge, though this is slightly more extensive
than his proposed patch.
Don't leak a file descriptor if the file is empty or we can't read its size.
Expect there to be a newline at the end of the last line, too. If there
isn't, ignore anything after the last newline. This makes it a tiny bit
more robust in case the file is appended to concurrently, so that we don't
return the last line if it hasn't been fully written yet. And this makes
the code a bit less obscure, anyway. Per Tom Lane's suggestion.
Backpatch to all supported branches.
If postmaster changed postmaster.pid while pg_ctl was reading it, pg_ctl
could overrun the buffer it allocated for the file. Fix by reading the
whole file to memory with one read() call.
initdb contains an identical copy of the readfile() function, but the files
that initdb reads are static, not modified concurrently. Nevertheless, add
a simple bounds-check there, if only to silence static analysis tools.
Per report from Dave Vitek. Backpatch to all supported branches.
Numerous flex and bison make rules have appeared in the source tree
over time, and they are all virtually identical, so we can replace
them by pattern rules with some variables for customization.
Users of pgxs will also be able to benefit from this.
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common
practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our
various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size
request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who
should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's
important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated
the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump
for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from
Matthew Carrington.
Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous
complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases,
even though some of these functions were in place before that.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.
This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)
timeval.t_sec is of type time_t, which is not always compatible with long.
I'm not sure if this was just harmless warning or a real bug, but this
fixes it, anyway.
The tar output module did some very ugly and ultimately incorrect hacking
on COPY commands to try to get them to work in the context of restoring a
deconstructed tar archive. In particular, it would fail altogether for
table names containing any upper-case characters, since it smashed the
command string to lower-case before modifying it (and, just to add insult
to injury, did that in a way that would fail in multibyte encodings).
I don't see any particular value in being flexible about the case of the
command keywords, since the string will just have been created by
dumpTableData, so let's get rid of the whole case-folding thing.
Also, it doesn't seem to meet the POLA for the script to restore data only
in COPY mode, so add \i commands to make it have comparable behavior in
--inserts mode.
Noted while looking at the tar-output code in connection with Brian
Weaver's patch.
Both programs got the "magic" string wrong, causing standard-conforming tar
implementations to believe the output was just legacy tar format without
any POSIX extensions. This doesn't actually matter that much, especially
since pg_dump failed to fill the POSIX fields anyway, but still there is
little point in emitting tar format if we can't be compliant with the
standard. In addition, pg_dump failed to write the EOF marker correctly
(there should be 2 blocks of zeroes not just one), pg_basebackup put the
numeric group ID in the wrong place, and both programs had a pretty
brain-dead idea of how to compute the checksum. Fix all that and improve
the comments a bit.
pg_restore is modified to accept either the correct POSIX-compliant "magic"
string or the previous value. This part of the change will need to be
back-patched to avoid an unnecessary compatibility break when a previous
version tries to read tar-format output from 9.3 pg_dump.
Brian Weaver and Tom Lane
The same message is used in both pg_restore and pg_dump, and it's
confusing to output "restoring data for table xyz" when the user
is just doing a pg_dump.
Formerly it would only show them for relkinds 'r' and 'f' (plain tables
and foreign tables). However, as of 9.2, views can also have reloptions,
namely security_barrier. The relkind restriction seems pointless and
not at all future-proof, so just print reloptions whenever there are any.
In passing, make some cosmetic improvements to the code that pulls the
"tableinfo" fields out of the PGresult.
Noted and patched by Dean Rasheed, with adjustment for all relkinds by me.
Only warn when connecting to a newer server, since connecting to older
servers works pretty well nowadays. Also update the documentation a
little about current psql/server compatibility expectations.
If a view has circular dependencies, pg_dump splits it into a CREATE TABLE
and a CREATE RULE command to break the dependency loop. However, if the
view has reloptions, those options cannot be applied in the CREATE TABLE
command, because views and tables have different allowed reloptions so
CREATE TABLE would reject them. Instead apply the reloptions after the
CREATE RULE, using ALTER VIEW SET.
Replace unix_socket_directory with unix_socket_directories, which is a list
of socket directories, and adjust postmaster's code to allow zero or more
Unix-domain sockets to be created.
This is mostly a straightforward change, but since the Unix sockets ought
to be created after the TCP/IP sockets for safety reasons (better chance
of detecting a port number conflict), AddToDataDirLockFile needs to be
fixed to support out-of-order updates of data directory lockfile lines.
That's a change that had been foreseen to be necessary someday anyway.

The most user-visible part of this is to change the long options
--statusint and --noloop to --status-interval and --no-loop,
respectively, per discussion.
Also, consistently enclose file names in double quotes, per our
conventions; and consistently use the term "transaction log file" to
talk about WAL segments. (Someday we may need to go over this
terminology and make it consistent across the whole source code.)
Finally, reflow the code to better fit in 80 columns, and have pgindent
fix it up some more.
They don't actually do anything yet; that will get fixed in a
follow-on commit. But this gets the basic infrastructure in place,
including CREATE/ALTER/DROP EVENT TRIGGER; support for COMMENT,

pg_dump and psql support; and documentation for the anticipated
initial feature set.

Thom Brown extensively reviewed earlier versions of this patch set,
but there's not a whole lot of that code left in this commit, as it
turns out.
The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more
mainstream compilers such as gcc. But manual inspection showed that
the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will
complain about removing this code.
Historically we have not worried about fsync'ing anything during initdb
(in fact, initdb intentionally passes -F to each backend launch to prevent
it from fsync'ing). But with filesystems getting more aggressive about
caching data, that's not such a good plan anymore. Make initdb do a pass
over the finished data directory tree to fsync everything. For testing
purposes, the -N/--nosync flag can be used to restore the old behavior.
Also, testing shows that on Linux, sync_file_range() is much faster than
posix_fadvise() for hinting to the kernel that an fsync is coming,
apparently because the latter blocks on a rather small request queue while
the former doesn't. So use this function if available in initdb, and also
in the backend's pg_flush_data() (where it currently will affect only the
speed of CREATE DATABASE's cloning step).
We will later make pg_regress invoke initdb with the --nosync flag
to avoid slowing down cases such as "make check" in contrib. But
let's not do so until we've shaken out any portability issues in this
patch.

join_path_components() tried to remove leading ".." components from its
tail argument, but it was not nearly bright enough to do so correctly
unless the head argument was (a) absolute and (b) canonicalized.
Rather than try to fix that logic, let's just get rid of it: there is no
correctness reason to remove "..", and cosmetic concerns can be taken
care of by a subsequent canonicalize_path() call. Per bug #6715 from
Greg Davidson.
Back-patch to all supported branches. It appears that pre-9.2, this
function is only used with absolute paths as head arguments, which is why
we'd not noticed the breakage before. However, third-party code might be
expecting this function to work in more general cases, so it seems wise
to back-patch.
In HEAD and 9.2, also make some minor cosmetic improvements to callers.
The old value of 32MB has been around for a very long time, and in the
meantime typical system memories have become vastly larger. Also, now
that we no longer depend on being able to fit the entirety of our
shared memory segment into the system's limit on System V shared
memory, there's a much better chance of the higher limit actually
proving productive.
Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers.
This makes it possible for the master to track how much data has
actually been written my pg_receivexlog - and not just how much
has been sent towards it.
Change things so that something like initdb --auth-local=peer
--auth-host=md5 does not cause a "must specify a password" error,
like initdb -A md5 does.
The xlogid + segno representation of a particular WAL segment doesn't make
much sense in pg_resetxlog anymore, now that we don't use that anywhere
else. Use the WAL filename instead, since that's a convenient way to name a
particular WAL segment.
I did this partially for pg_resetxlog in the original xlogid/segno -> uint64
patch, but I neglected pg_upgrade and the docs. This should now be more
complete.
While pg_dump has included dependency information in archive-format output
ever since 7.3, it never made any large effort to ensure that that
information was actually useful. In particular, in common situations where
dependency chains include objects that aren't separately emitted in the
dump, the dependencies shown for objects that were emitted would reference
the dump IDs of these un-dumped objects, leaving no clue about which other
objects the visible objects indirectly depend on. So far, parallel
pg_restore has managed to avoid tripping over this misfeature, but only
by dint of some crude hacks like not trusting dependency information in
the pre-data section of the archive.
It seems prudent to do something about this before it rises up to bite us,
so instead of emitting the "raw" dependencies of each dumped object,
recursively search for its actual dependencies among the subset of objects
that are being dumped.
Back-patch to 9.2, since that code hasn't yet diverged materially from
HEAD. At some point we might need to back-patch further, but right now
there are no known cases where this is actively necessary. (The one known
case, bug #6699, is fixed in a different way by my previous patch.) Since
this patch depends on 9.2 changes that made TOC entries be marked before
output commences as to whether they'll be dumped, back-patching further
would require additional surgery; and as of now there's no evidence that
it's worth the risk.
As of 9.2, with the --section option, it is very important that the concept
of "pre data", "data", and "post data" sections of the output be honored
strictly; else a dump divided into separate sectional files might be
unrestorable. However, the dependency-sorting logic knew nothing of
sections and would happily select output orderings that didn't fit that
structure. Doing so was mostly harmless before 9.2, but now we need to be
sure it doesn't do that. To fix, create dummy objects representing the
section boundaries and add dependencies between them and all the normal
objects. (This might sound expensive but it seems to only add a percent or
two to pg_dump's runtime.)
This also fixes a problem introduced in 9.1 by the feature that allows
incomplete GROUP BY lists when a primary key is given in GROUP BY.
That means that views can depend on primary key constraints. Previously,
pg_dump would deal with that by simply emitting the primary key constraint
before the view definition (and hence before the data section of the
output). That's bad enough for simple serial restores, where creating an
index before the data is loaded works, but is undesirable for speed
reasons. But it could lead to outright failure of parallel restores, as
seen in bug #6699 from Joe Van Dyk. That happened because pg_restore would
switch into parallel mode as soon as it reached the constraint, and then
very possibly would try to emit the view definition before the primary key
was committed (as a consequence of another bug that causes the view not to
be correctly marked as depending on the constraint). Adding the section
boundary constraints forces the dependency-sorting code to break the view
into separate table and rule declarations, allowing the rule, and hence the
primary key constraint it depends on, to revert to their intended location
in the post-data section. This also somewhat accidentally works around the
bogus-dependency-marking problem, because the rule will be correctly shown
as depending on the constraint, so parallel pg_restore will now do the
right thing. (We will fix the bogus-dependency problem for real in a
separate patch, but that patch is not easily back-portable to 9.1, so the
fact that this patch is enough to dodge the only known symptom is
fortunate.)
Back-patch to 9.1, except for the hunk that adds verification that the
finished archive TOC list is in correct section order; the place where
it was convenient to add that doesn't exist in 9.1.
This simplifies code that needs to do arithmetic on XLogRecPtrs.
To avoid changing on-disk format of data pages, the LSN on data pages is
still stored in the old format. That should keep pg_upgrade happy. However,
we have XLogRecPtrs embedded in the control file, and in the structs that
are sent over the replication protocol, so this changes breaks compatibility
of pg_basebackup and server. I didn't do anything about this in this patch,
per discussion on -hackers, the right thing to do would to be to change the
replication protocol to be architecture-independent, so that you could use
a newer version of pg_receivexlog, for example, against an older server
version.
This saves a few bytes of WAL space, but the real motivation is to make it
predictable how much WAL space a record requires, as it no longer depends
on whether we need to waste the last few bytes at end of WAL page because
the header doesn't fit.
The total length field of WAL record, xl_tot_len, is moved to the beginning
of the WAL record header, so that it is still always found on the first page
where a WAL record begins.
Bump WAL version number again as this is an incompatible change.
The comments claimed that wasting the last segment made it easier to do
calculations with XLogRecPtrs, because you don't have problems representing
last-byte-position-plus-1 that way. In my experience, however, it only made
things more complicated, because the there was two ways to represent the
boundary at the beginning of a logical log file: logid = n+1 and xrecoff = 0,
or as xlogid = n and xrecoff = 4GB - XLOG_SEG_SIZE. Some functions were
picky about which representation was used.
Also, use a 64-bit segment number instead of the log/seg combination, to
point to a certain WAL segment. We assume that all platforms have a working
64-bit integer type nowadays.
This is an incompatible change in WAL format, so bumping WAL version number.
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders. Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.
Commit aaa6e1def2 introduced multiple hazards
in the case where pg_ctl is executed with neither a -D switch nor any
PGDATA environment variable. It would dump core on machines which are
unforgiving about printf("%s", NULL), or failing that possibly give a
rather unhelpful complaint about being unable to execute "postgres -C",
rather than the logically prior complaint about not being told where the
data directory is.
Edmund Horner's report suggests that there is another, Windows-specific
hazard here, but I'm not the person to fix that; it would in any case only
be significant when trying to use a config-only PGDATA pointer.

This is currently only cosmetic, since all the call sites just curl up
and die in event of a failure return. It might be important for some
future use-case, though, and in any case it quiets warnings from the
clang static analyzer (as reported by Anna Zaks).

The initial implementation of pg_dump's --section option supposed that the
existing --schema-only and --data-only options could be made equivalent to
--section settings. This is wrong, though, due to dubious but long since
set-in-stone decisions about where to dump SEQUENCE SET items, as seen in
bug report from Martin Pitt. (And I'm not totally convinced there weren't
other bugs, either.) Undo that coupling and instead drive --section
filtering off current-section state tracked as we scan through the TOC
list to call _tocEntryRequired().
To make sure those decisions don't shift around and hopefully save a few
cycles, run _tocEntryRequired() only once per TOC entry and save the result
in a new TOC field. This required minor rejiggering of ACL handling but
also allows a far cleaner implementation of inhibit_data_for_failed_table.
Also, to ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore have the same behavior with
respect to the --section switches, add _tocEntryRequired() filtering to
WriteToc() and WriteDataChunks(), rather than trying to implement section
filtering in an entirely orthogonal way in dumpDumpableObject(). This
required adjusting the handling of the special ENCODING and STDSTRINGS
items, but they were pretty weird before anyway.
Minor other code review for the patch, too.
This patch fixes three places (which AFAICT is all of them) where runtime
was O(N^2) in the number of TOC entries, by using an index array to replace
linear searches of the TOC list. This performance issue is a bit less bad
than those recently fixed, because it depends on the number of items dumped
not the number in the source database, so the problem can be dodged by
doing partial dumps.
The previous coding already had an instance of one of the two index arrays
needed, but it was only calculated in parallel-restore cases; now we need
it all the time. I also chose to move the arrays into the ArchiveHandle
data structure, to make this code a bit more ready for the day that we
try to sling multiple ArchiveHandles around in pg_dump or pg_restore.
Since we still need some server-side work before pg_dump can really cope
nicely with tens of thousands of tables, there's probably little point in
back-patching.
The previous coding presented a significant bottleneck when dumping
databases containing many thousands of schemas, since the total time
spent searching would increase roughly as O(N^2) in the number of objects.
Noted by Jeff Janes, though I rewrote his proposed patch to use the
existing findObjectByOid infrastructure.
Since this is a longstanding performance bug, backpatch to all supported
versions.
When backing up from a standby server, the backup process
will not automatically switch xlog segment. So we must
accept a partially transferred xlog file in this case, but
rename it into position anyway.
In passing, merge the two callbacks for segment end and
stop stream into a single callback, since their implementations
were close to identical, and rename this callback to
reflect that it stops streaming rather than continues it.

This adds the variable COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, which controls in what case
keywords are completed. This is partially to let users configure the
change from commit 69f4f1c357, but it
also offers more behaviors than were available before.
The original syntax wasn't universally loved, and it didn't allow its
usage in CREATE TABLE, only ALTER TABLE. It now works everywhere, and
it also allows using ALTER TABLE ONLY to add an uninherited CHECK

The pg_constraint column has accordingly been renamed connoinherit.
This commit partly reverts some of the changes in

Some tweaks by me
A number of utility programs were rather careless about paremeters
that can be set via both an option argument and a positional
argument. This leads to results which can violate the Principal
Of Least Astonishment. These changes refuse to use positional
arguments to override settings that have been made via positional
arguments. The changes are backpatched to all live branches.
ANALYZE now accepts foreign tables and allows the table's FDW to control
how the sample rows are collected. (But only manual ANALYZEs will touch
foreign tables, for the moment, since among other things it's not very
clear how to handle remote permissions checks in an auto-analyze.)
contrib/file_fdw is extended to support this.

Somebody didn't bother to fix this comment while adding foreign table
support to the code below it.
In passing, remove the explicit calling-out of relkind letters, which adds
complexity to the comment but doesn't help in understanding the code.
There is no existing or foreseeable case in which psql should see a
PGRES_COPY_BOTH PQresultStatus; and if such a case ever emerges, it's a
pretty good bet that these code fragments wouldn't do the right thing
anyway. Remove them, and let the existing default cases do the appropriate
thing, namely emit an "unexpected PQresultStatus" bleat.
Noted while working on libpq row processor patch, for which I was
considering adding a PGRES_SUSPENDED status code --- the same default-case
treatment would be appropriate for that.
Combining the loop workspace with the record of already-processed objects
might have been a cute trick, but it behaves horridly if there are many
dependency loops to repair: the time spent in the first step of findLoop()
grows as O(N^2). Instead use a separate flag array indexed by dump ID,
which we can check in constant time. The length of the workspace array
is now never more than the actual length of a dependency chain, which
should be reasonably short in all cases of practical interest. The code
is noticeably easier to understand this way, too.
Per gripe from Mike Roest. Since this is a longstanding performance bug,
backpatch to all supported versions.
The loop that matched owned sequences to their owning tables required time
proportional to number of owned sequences times number of tables; although
this work was only expended in selective-dump situations, which is probably
why the issue wasn't recognized long since. Refactor slightly so that we
can perform this work after the index array for findTableByOid has been
set up, reducing the time to O(M log N).
Per gripe from Mike Roest. Since this is a longstanding performance bug,
backpatch to all supported versions.
ecpg and pg_dump each contain keyword arrays with structure similar
to the backend's keyword array. Up to now, we actually named those
arrays the same as the backend's and relied on parser/keywords.h
to declare them. This seems a tad too cute, though, and it breaks
now that we need to PGDLLIMPORT-decorate the backend symbols.
Rename to avoid the problem. Per buildfarm.
(It strikes me that maybe we should get rid of the separate keywords.c
files altogether, and just define these arrays in the modules that use
them, but that's a rather more invasive change.)
Over-optimization (by me, looks like :-() broke the case of recognizing
a word boundary just before a quoted identifier. Reported and diagnosed

Some of these are newly added, some are older and were forgotten, some
don't contain any translatable strings right now but look like they
could in the future.
Some Windows-only messages had apparently been forgotten so far.
Also make the wording of the messages more consistent with similar
messages other parts, such as pg_ctl and pg_regress.
setlocale() accepts locale name "" as meaning "the locale specified by the
process's environment variables". Historically we've accepted that for
Postgres' locale settings, too. However, it's fairly unsafe to store an
empty string in a new database's pg_database.datcollate or datctype fields,
because then the interpretation could vary across postmaster restarts,
possibly resulting in index corruption and other unpleasantness.
Instead, we should expand "" to whatever it means at the moment of calling
CREATE DATABASE, which we can do by saving the value returned by
setlocale().
For consistency, make initdb set up the initial lc_xxx parameter values the
same way. initdb was already doing the right thing for empty locale names,
but it did not replace non-empty names with setlocale results. On a
platform where setlocale chooses to canonicalize the spellings of locale
names, this would result in annoying inconsistency. (It seems that popular
implementations of setlocale don't do such canonicalization, which is a
pity, but the POSIX spec certainly allows it to be done.) The same risk
of inconsistency leads me to not venture back-patching this, although it
could certainly be seen as a longstanding bug.
Per report from Jeff Davis, though this is not his proposed patch.
Per a suggestion from Euler Taveira, it seems like a good idea to include
this information in \du (and \dg) output. This costs nothing for people

For those variables only used when asserts are enabled, use a new
macro PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, which expands to
__attribute__((unused)) when asserts are not enabled.
The prior coding instructs the user to pick an alternative maintenance
database, but this is overly clever, since it obscures whatever the real
cause of the failure is.
Josh Kupershmidt
The old code was using exit_horribly or die_horribly other depending on
whether it had an ArchiveHandle on which to close the connection or not;
but there were places that were passing a NULL ArchiveHandle to
die_horribly, and other places that used exit_horribly while having an
AH available. So there wasn't all that much consistency.
Improve the situation by keeping only one of the routines, and instead
of having to pass the AH down from the caller, arrange for it to be
present for an on_exit_nicely callback to operate on.

This was for demonstration only, and now it was creating compiler
warnings from zlib without an obvious fix (see also
d923125b77), let's just remove it. The
"directory" format is presumably similar enough anyway.
Although we often don't care about freeing all memory in pg_dump,
these functions already freed the same memory in other code paths, so
we might as well do it consistently.

Multi-line "Inherits:" and "Child tables:" footers were misindented when
those strings' translations involved multibyte characters, because we were
using strlen() instead of an appropriate display width measurement.
In passing, avoid doing gettext() more than once per loop in these places.
While at it, fix pg_wcswidth(), which has been entirely broken since about
8.2, but fortunately has been unused for the same length of time.
Report and patch by Sergey Burladyan (bug #6480)
Due to an apparent thinko, when printing a table in expanded mode
(\x), space would be allocated for 1 slot plus 1 byte per line,
instead of 1 slot per line plus 1 slot for the NULL terminator. When
the line count is small, reading or writing the terminator would
therefore access memory beyond what was allocated.
gzFile is already a pointer, so code like
gzFile *handle = gzopen(...)
is wrong.
This used to pass silently because gzFile used to be defined as void*,
and you can assign a void* to a void**. But somewhere between zlib
versions 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.6, the definition of gzFile was changed to
struct gzFile_s *, and with that new definition this usage causes
compiler warnings.
So remove all those extra pointer decorations.
There is a related issue in pg_backup_archiver.h, where
FILE *FH; /* General purpose file handle */
is used throughout pg_dump as sometimes a real FILE* and sometimes a
gzFile handle, which also causes warnings now. This is not yet fixed
here, because it might need more code restructuring.
Running "psql -f -" used to print
psql:<stdin>:1: ERROR: blah
but that got broken between 8.4 and 9.0 (commit

This reverts to the old behavior and cleans up some code that was left
dead or useless by the mentioned commit.
This makes it much more convenient to build tools for Postgres that are
separately compiled and require a matching CRC implementation.
To prevent multiple copies of the CRC polynomial tables being introduced
into the postgres binaries, they are now included in the static library
libpgport that is mainly meant for replacement system functions. That
seems like a bit of a kludge, but there's no better place.
This cleans up building of the tools pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog,
which previously had to build their own copies of pg_crc.o.
In the future, external programs that need access to the CRC tables can
include the tables directly from the new header file pg_crc_tables.h.

psql backslash commands that deal with file or directory names require
quotes around those that have spaces, single quotes, or backslashes.
However, tab-completing such names does not provide said quotes, and is
thus almost useless with them.
This patch fixes the problem by having a wrapper function around
rl_filename_completion_function that dequotes on input and quotes on
output. This eases dealing with such names.
Author: Noah Misch
pg_dump was incautious about sanitizing object names that are emitted
within SQL comments in its output script. A name containing a newline
would at least render the script syntactically incorrect. Maliciously
crafted object names could present a SQL injection risk when the script

Security: CVE-2012-0868
Use exit_horribly() and ExecuteSqlQueryForSingleRow() in various
places where it's equivalent, or nearly equivalent, to the prior
coding. Apart from being more compact, this also makes the error
messages for the wrong-number-of-tuples case more consistent.
Parallel pg_dump wants to have multiple ArchiveHandle objects, and
therefore multiple PGconns, in play at the same time. This should
be just about the end of the refactoring that we need in order to
make that workable.
Any patches apt to get broken have probably already been broken by the
error-handling cleanups I just did, so we might as well clean this up
at the same time.
We don't normally allow quals to be pushed down into a view created
with the security_barrier option, but functions without side effects
are an exception: they're OK. This allows much better performance in
common cases, such as when using an equality operator (that might
even be indexable).
There is an outstanding issue here with the CREATE FUNCTION / ALTER
FUNCTION syntax: there's no way to use ALTER FUNCTION to unset the
leakproof flag. But I'm committing this as-is so that it doesn't
have to be rebased again; we can fix up the grammar in a future
commit.

If an extension has not been selected to be dumped (perhaps because of
a --schema or --table switch), the contents of its configuration tables
surely should not get dumped either. Per gripe from
Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.
In pre-7.3 databases, pg_attribute.attislocal doesn't exist. The easiest
way to make sure the new inheritance logic behaves sanely is to assume it's
TRUE, not FALSE. This will result in printing child columns even when
they're not really needed. We could work harder at trying to reconstruct a
value for attislocal, but there is little evidence that anyone still cares
about dumping from such old versions, so just do the minimum necessary to
have a valid dump.
I had this correct in the original draft of the patch, but for some
unaccountable reason decided it wasn't necessary to change the value.
Testing against an old server shows otherwise...
Revise pg_dump's handling of inherited columns, which was last looked at
seriously in 2001, to eliminate several misbehaviors associated with
inherited default expressions and NOT NULL flags. In particular make sure
that a column is printed in a child table's CREATE TABLE command if and
only if it has attislocal = true; the former behavior would sometimes cause
a column to become marked attislocal when it was not so marked in the
source database. Also, stop relying on textual comparison of default
expressions to decide if they're inherited; instead, don't use
default-expression inheritance at all, but just install the default
explicitly at each level of the hierarchy. This fixes the
search-path-related misbehavior recently exhibited by Chester Young, and
also removes some dubious assumptions about the order in which ALTER TABLE
SET DEFAULT commands would be executed.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Add new psql settings and command-line options to support setting the
field and record separators for unaligned output to a zero byte, for

Various filters that were meant to prevent dumping of table data were not
being applied to extension config tables, notably --exclude-table-data and
--no-unlogged-table-data. We also would bogusly try to dump data from
views, sequences, or foreign tables, should an extension try to claim they
were config tables. Fix all that, and refactor/redocument to try to make
this a bit less fragile. This reverts the implementation, though not the
feature, of commit 7b070e896c, which had
broken config-table dumping altogether :-(.
It is still the case that the code will dump config-table data even if
--schema is specified. That behavior was intentional, as per the comments
in getExtensionMembership, so I think it requires some more discussion
before we change it.
This is another round of refactoring to make things simpler for parallel
pg_dump. pg_dump.c now issues SQL queries through the relevant Archive
object, rather than relying on the global variable g_conn. This commit
isn't quite enough to get rid of g_conn entirely, but it makes a big
dent in its utilization and, along the way, manages to be slightly less
code than before.
Do not prompt when options were not specified. Assume --no-createdb,
--no-createrole, --no-superuser by default.
Also disable prompting for user name in dropdb, unless --interactive
was specified.

Instead, everything that needs the Archive object now gets it as a
parameter. This is necessary infrastructure for parallel pg_dump,
but is also amply justified by the ugliness of the current code
(though a lot more than this is needed to fix that problem).
Change various places in the code that are referencing the global
Archive object g_fout to instead reference the Archive object fout
which is already being passed as a parameter. For parallel pg_dump to
work, we're going to need multiple Archive(Handle) objects, so the
real solution here is to pass down the Archive object to everywhere
that it needs to go, but we might as well pick the low-hanging fruit
first.
Parallel dump will need to repeat these steps for each new connection,
so it's better to have this logic in its own function.
Extracted (with some changes) from a much larger patch
by Joachim Wieland.
This enables a bunch of features, notably ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK. It also
makes COPY failure (either in the server or psql) as a whole behave more
sanely in psql.
Additionally, having more commands in the same command line as COPY
works better (though since psql splits lines at semicolons, this doesn't
matter much unless you're using -c).
Also tighten a couple of switches on PQresultStatus() to add
PGRES_COPY_BOTH support and stop assuming that unknown statuses received
are errors; have those print diagnostics where warranted.

In commit 6545a901aa, I removed the mini SQL
lexer that was in pg_backup_db.c, thinking that it had no real purpose
beyond separating COPY data from SQL commands, which purpose had been
obsoleted by long-ago fixes in pg_dump's archive file format.
Unfortunately this was in error: that code was also used to identify
command boundaries in INSERT-style table data, which is run together as a
single string in the archive file for better compressibility. As a result,
direct-to-database restores from archive files made with --inserts or
--column-inserts fail in our latest releases, as reported by Dick Visser.
To fix, restore the mini SQL lexer, but simplify it by adjusting the
calling logic so that it's only required to cope with INSERT-style table
data, not arbitrary SQL commands. This allows us to not have to deal with
SQL comments, E'' strings, or dollar-quoted strings, none of which have
ever been emitted by dumpTableData_insert.
Also, fix the lexer to cope with standard-conforming strings, which was the
actual bug that the previous patch was meant to solve.
Back-patch to all supported branches. The previous patch went back to 8.2,
which unfortunately means that the EOL release of 8.2 contains this bug,
but I don't think we're doing another 8.2 release just because of that.
pg_dump sorts operators by name, but operators with the same name come
out in random order. Now operators with the same name are dumped in
the order prefix, postfix, infix. (This is consistent with functions,
which are dumped in increasing number of argument order.)
All supported platforms support the C89 standard function atexit()
(SunOS 4 probably being the last one not to), and supporting both
makes the code clumsy.
When a view is marked as a security barrier, it will not be pulled up
into the containing query, and no quals will be pushed down into it,
so that no function or operator chosen by the user can be applied to
rows not exposed by the view. Views not configured with this
option cannot provide robust row-level security, but will perform far
better.
