The test_pg_dump extension doesn't have a C component, so we need
to exclude it from the MSVC build system trying to figure out how
to build it.
Also add a "MODULES" line to the Makefile, as test_extensions has.
Might not be necessary, but seems good to keep things consistent.
Lastly, remove the 'installcheck' line from test_pg_dump, as that
was causing redefinition errors, at least on my box. This also
makes test_pg_dump consistent with how commit_ts is set up.
The Makefile for test_pg_dump shouldn't have a MODULES_big line
because there's no actual compiled bit for that extension. Hopefully
this will fix the Windows buildfarm members which were complaining.
In passing, also add the 'prove_installcheck' bit to the pg_dump and
test_pg_dump Makefiles, to get the buildfarm members to actually run
those tests.
Default roles really should be like regular roles, for the most part.
This removes a number of checks that were trying to make default roles
extra special by not allowing them to be used as regular roles.
We still prevent users from creating roles in the "pg_" namespace or
from altering roles which exist in that namespace via ALTER ROLE, as
we can't preserve such changes, but otherwise the roles are very much
like regular roles.
Based on discussion with Robert and Tom.
This TAP test suite will create a new cluster, populate it based on
the 'create_sql' values in the '%tests' hash, run all of the runs
defined in the '%pgdump_runs' hash, and then for each test in the
'%tests' hash, compare each run's output the the regular expression
defined for the test under the 'like' and 'unlike' functions, as
appropriate.
While this test suite covers a fair bit of ground (67% of pg_dump.c
and quite a bit of the other files in src/bin/pg_dump), there is
still quite a bit which remains to be added to provide better code
coverage. Still, this is quite a bit better than we had, and has
found a few bugs already (note that the CREATE TRANSFORM test is
commented out, as it is currently failing).
Idea for using the TAP system from Tom, though all of the code is mine.
The similarity of the original names to SQL keywords seems like a bad
idea. Rename them before we're stuck with 'em forever.
In passing, minor code and docs cleanup.

Commit 7d9a4737c2 greatly improved the
accuracy of the numeric transcendental functions, however it failed to
consider the case where the result from pow() is close to the overflow
threshold, for example 0.12 ^ -2345.6. For such inputs, where the
result has more than 2000 digits before the decimal point, the decimal
result weight estimate was being clamped to 2000, leading to a loss of
precision in the final calculation.
Fix this by replacing the clamping code with an overflow test that
aborts the calculation early if the final result is sure to overflow,
based on the overflow limit in exp_var(). This provides the same
protection against integer overflow in the subsequent result scale
computation as the original clamping code, but it also ensures that
precision is never lost and saves compute cycles in cases that are
sure to overflow.
The new early overflow test works with the initial low-precision
result (expected to be accurate to around 8 significant digits) and
includes a small fuzz factor to ensure that it doesn't kick in for
values that would not overflow exp_var(), so the overall overflow
threshold of pow() is unchanged and consistent for all inputs with
non-integer exponents.

This reverts commits f07d18b6e9, 82c83b3372, 3a3b309041, and
24c5f1a103.
This feature has shown enough immaturity that it was deemed better to
rip it out before rushing some more fixes at the last minute. There are
discussions on larger changes in this area for the next release.
Given a three-or-more-way equivalence class, such as X.Y = Y.Y = Z.Z,
it was possible for the planner to omit one of the quals needed to
enforce that all members of the equivalence class are actually equal.
This only happened in the case of a parameterized join node for two
of the relations, that is a plan tree like
Nested Loop
-> Scan X
-> Nested Loop
-> Scan Y
-> Scan Z
Filter: Z.Z = X.X
The eclass machinery normally expects to apply X.X = Y.Y when those
two relations are joined, but in this shape of plan tree they aren't
joined until the top node --- and, if the lower nested loop is marked
as parameterized by X, the top node will assume that the relevant eclass
condition(s) got pushed down into the lower node. On the other hand,
the scan of Z assumes that it's only responsible for constraining Z.Z
to match any one of the other eclass members. So one or another of
the required quals sometimes fell between the cracks, depending on
whether consideration of the eclass in get_joinrel_parampathinfo()
for the lower nested loop chanced to generate X.X = Y.Y or X.X = Z.Z
as the appropriate constraint there. If it generated the latter,
it'd erroneously suppose that the Z scan would take care of matters.
To fix, force X.X = Y.Y to be generated and applied at that join node
when this case occurs.
This is *extremely* hard to hit in practice, because various planner
behaviors conspire to mask the problem; starting with the fact that the
planner doesn't really like to generate a parameterized plan of the
above shape. (It might have been impossible to hit it before we
tweaked things to allow this plan shape for star-schema cases.) Many
thanks to Alexander Kirkouski for submitting a reproducible test case.
The bug can be demonstrated in all branches back to 9.2 where parameterized
paths were introduced, so back-patch that far.
The previous coding here was formally undefined, though it seems to
accidentally work on most platforms in the buildfarm. Caught by some
OpenBSD platforms in which libc contains an assertion check for
overlapping areas passed to memcpy().

Previously, database clusters created by a TAP test were shut down by
DESTROY methods attached to the PostgresNode objects representing them.
The trouble with that is that if the objects survive into the final global
destruction phase (which they do), Perl executes the DESTROY methods in an
unspecified order. Thus, the order of shutdown of multiple clusters was
indeterminate, which might lead to not-very-reproducible errors getting
logged (eg from a slave whose master might or might not get killed first).
Worse, the File::Temp objects representing the temporary PGDATA directories
might get destroyed before the PostgresNode objects, resulting in attempts
to delete PGDATA directories that still have live servers in them. On
Windows, this would lead to directory deletion failures; on Unix, it
usually had no effects worse than erratic "could not open temporary
statistics file "pg_stat/global.tmp": No such file or directory" log
messages.
While none of this would affect the reported result of the TAP test, which
is already determined, it could be very confusing when one is trying to
understand from the logs what went wrong with a failed test.
To fix, do the postmaster shutdowns in an END block rather than at object
destruction time. The END block will execute at a well-defined (and
reasonable) time during script termination, and it will stop the
postmasters in order of PostgresNode object creation. (Perhaps we should
change that to be reverse order of creation, but the main point here is
that we now have control which we did not before.) Use "pg_ctl stop", not
an asynchronous kill(SIGQUIT), so that we wait for the postmasters to shut
down before proceeding with directory deletion.
Deletion of temporary directories still happens in an unspecified order
during global destruction, but I can see no reason to care about that
once the postmasters are stopped.
Commit fab84c7787 tried to get away without doing an actual bind(),
but buildfarm results show that that doesn't get the job done. So we must
really bind to the target port --- and at least on my Linux box, we need a
listen() as well, or conflicts won't be detected. We rely on SO_REUSEADDR
to prevent problems from starting a postmaster on the socket immediately
after we've bound to it in the test code. (There may be platforms where
that doesn't work too well. But fortunately, we only really care whether
this works on Windows, and there the default behavior should be OK.)
Buildfarm members bowerbird and jacana have shown intermittent "could not
bind IPv4 socket" failures in the BinInstallCheck stage since mid-December,
shortly after commits 1caef31d9e and 9821492ee4 changed the
logic for selecting which port to use in temporary installations. One
plausible explanation is that we are randomly selecting ports that are
already in use for some non-Postgres purpose. Although the code tried
to defend against already-in-use ports, it used pg_isready to probe
the port which is quite unhelpful: if some non-Postgres server responds
at the given address, pg_isready will generally say "no response",
leading to exactly the wrong conclusion about whether the port is free.
Instead, let's use a simple TCP connect() call to see if anything answers
without making assumptions about what it is. Note that this means there's
no direct check for a conflicting Unix socket, but that should be okay
because there should be no other Unix sockets in use in the temporary
socket directory created for a test run.
This is only a partial solution for the TCP case, since if the port number
is in use for an outgoing connection rather than a listening socket, we'll
fail to detect that. We could try to bind() to the proposed port as a
means of detecting that case, but that would introduce its own failure
modes, since the system might consider the address to remain reserved for
some period of time after we drop the bound socket. Close study of the
errors returned by bowerbird and jacana suggests that what we're seeing
there may be conflicts with listening not outgoing sockets, so let's try
this and see if it improves matters. It's certainly better than what's
there now, in any case.

Given a left join containing a full join in its righthand side, with
the left join's joinclause referencing only one side of the full join
(in a non-strict fashion, so that the full join doesn't get simplified),
the planner could fail with "failed to build any N-way joins" or related
errors. This happened because the full join was seen as overlapping the
left join's RHS, and then recent changes within join_is_legal() caused
that function to conclude that the full join couldn't validly be formed.
Rather than try to rejigger join_is_legal() yet more to allow this,
I think it's better to fix initsplan.c so that the required join order
is explicit in the SpecialJoinInfo data structure. The previous coding
there essentially ignored full joins, relying on the fact that we don't
flatten them in the joinlist data structure to preserve their ordering.
That's sufficient to prevent a wrong plan from being formed, but as this
example shows, it's not sufficient to ensure that the right plan will
be formed. We need to work a bit harder to ensure that the right plan
looks sane according to the SpecialJoinInfos.
Per bug #14105 from Vojtech Rylko. This was apparently induced by
commit 8703059c6 (though now that I've seen it, I wonder whether there
are related cases that could have failed before that); so back-patch
to all active branches. Unfortunately, that patch also went into 9.0,
so this bug is a regression that won't be fixed in that branch.
When we shoehorned "x op ANY (array)" into the SQL syntax, we created a
fundamental ambiguity as to the proper treatment of a sub-SELECT on the
righthand side: perhaps what's meant is to compare x against each row of
the sub-SELECT's result, or perhaps the sub-SELECT is meant as a scalar
sub-SELECT that delivers a single array value whose members should be
compared against x. The grammar resolves it as the former case whenever
the RHS is a select_with_parens, making the latter case hard to reach ---
but you can get at it, with tricks such as attaching a no-op cast to the
sub-SELECT. Parse analysis would throw away the no-op cast, leaving a
parsetree with an EXPR_SUBLINK SubLink directly under a ScalarArrayOpExpr.
ruleutils.c was not clued in on this fine point, and would naively emit
"x op ANY ((SELECT ...))", which would be parsed as the first alternative,
typically leading to errors like "operator does not exist: text = text[]"
during dump/reload of a view or rule containing such a construct. To fix,
emit a no-op cast when dumping such a parsetree. This might well be
exactly what the user wrote to get the construct accepted in the first
place; and even if she got there with some other dodge, it is a valid
representation of the parsetree.

In commit 2ffa869620 we made pg_ctl recognize an environment variable
PGCTLTIMEOUT to set the default timeout for starting and stopping the
postmaster. However, pg_regress uses pg_ctl only for the "stop" end of
that; it has bespoke code for starting the postmaster, and that code has
historically had a hard-wired 60-second timeout. Further buildfarm
experience says it'd be a good idea if that timeout were also controlled
by PGCTLTIMEOUT, so let's make it so. Like the previous patch, back-patch
to all active branches.

Print the actual value of each function result that's expected to be exact,

these with extra_float_digits = 3, we should not trust that the platform

The original coding of this test used table and view names like "t",

The regression test checks whether the output of pg_stat_replication is
expected or not after changing synchronous_standby_names and reloading
the configuration file. Regarding this test logic, previously there was
a timing issue which made the test result unstable. That is,
pg_stat_replication could return unexpected result during small window
after the configuration file was reloaded before new setting value
took effect, and which made the test fail.
This commit changes the test logic so that it uses a loop with a timeout
to give some room for the test to pass. Now the test fails only when
pg_stat_replication keeps returning unexpected result for 30 seconds.

\crosstabview interpreted its arguments in an unusual way, including
doing case-insensitive matching of unquoted column names, which is
surely not the right thing. Rip that out in favor of doing something
equivalent to the dequoting/case-folding rules used by other psql
commands. To keep it simple, change the syntax so that the optional
sort column is specified as a separate argument, instead of the
also-quite-unusual syntax that attached it to the colH argument with
a colon.
Also, rework the error messages to be closer to project style.
For a long time, opclasscmds.c explained that "we do not create a
dependency link to the AM [for an opclass or opfamily], because we don't
currently support DROP ACCESS METHOD". Commit 473b932870 invented
DROP ACCESS METHOD, but it batted only 1 for 2 on adding the dependency
links, and 0 for 2 on updating the comments about the topic.
In passing, undo the same commit's entirely inappropriate decision to
blow away an existing index as a side-effect of create_am.sql.
Everyplace else thinks it's _WIN64, so make these places fall in line.
The pg_regress.c usage is not going to result in any change in behavior,
only suppressing (or not) a compiler warning about downcasting HANDLEs.
So there seems no need for back-patching there.
The libpq/win32.mak usage might represent an actual bug, if anyone were
using this script to build for Windows64, which perhaps nobody is.
Given the lack of field complaints, no back-patch here either.
pg_regress.c problem found by Christian Ullrich, the other by me.
To avoid any possible overlap with existing roles on a system when
doing a 'make installcheck', use role names which start with
'regress_'.

\crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a
query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed
in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself,
similar to a spreadsheet.
The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using
another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its
ordering from the order in which they appear in the query.
This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than
one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of
values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be
revisited in the future.

This feature is controlled by a new old_snapshot_threshold GUC. A
value of -1 disables the feature, and that is the default. The
value of 0 is just intended for testing. Above that it is the
number of minutes a snapshot can reach before pruning and vacuum
are allowed to remove dead tuples which the snapshot would
otherwise protect. The xmin associated with a transaction ID does
still protect dead tuples. A connection which is using an "old"
snapshot does not get an error unless it accesses a page modified
recently enough that it might not be able to produce accurate
results.
This is similar to the Oracle feature, and we use the same SQLSTATE

In cases where joins use multiple columns we currently assess each join
separately causing gross mis-estimates for join cardinality.
This patch adds use of FK information for the first time into the
planner. When FKs are present and we have multi-column join information,
plan estimates will be drastically improved. Cases with multiple FKs
are handled, though partial matches are ignored currently.
Net effect is substantial performance improvements for joins in many
common cases. Additional planning time is isolated to cases that are
currently performing poorly, measured at 0.08 - 0.15 ms.
Please watch for planner performance regressions; circumstances seem
unlikely but the law of unintended consequences may apply somewhen.
Additional complex tests welcome to prove this before release.

While prior to this patch the user-visible effect on the database
of any set of successfully committed serializable transactions was
always consistent with some one-at-a-time order of execution of
those transactions, the presence of declarative constraints could
allow errors to occur which were not possible in any such ordering,
and developers had no good workarounds to prevent user-facing
errors where they were not necessary or desired. This patch adds
a check for serialization failure ahead of duplicate key checking
so that if a developer explicitly (redundantly) checks for the
pre-existing value they will get the desired serialization failure
where the problem is caused by a concurrent serializable
transaction; otherwise they will get a duplicate key error.
While it would be better if the reads performed by the constraints
could count as part of the work of the transaction for
serialization failure checking, and we will hopefully get there
some day, this patch allows a clean and reliable way for developers
to work around the issue. In many cases existing code will already
be doing the right thing for this to "just work".
