Masahiko Sawada 729439607a Add progress reporting of skipped tuples during COPY FROM.
9e2d870119 enabled the COPY command to skip malformed data, however
there was no visibility into how many tuples were actually skipped
during the COPY FROM.

This commit adds a new "tuples_skipped" column to
pg_stat_progress_copy view to report the number of tuples that were
skipped because they contain malformed data.

Bump catalog version.

Amit Langote 1edb3b491b Adjust populate_record_field() to handle errors softly
This adds a Node *escontext parameter to it and a bunch of functions
downstream to it, replacing any ereport()s in that path by either
errsave() or ereturn() as appropriate.  This also adds code to those
functions where necessary to return early upon encountering a soft
error.

The changes here are mainly intended to suppress errors in the
functions of jsonfuncs.c.  Functions in any external modules, such as
arrayfuncs.c, that those functions may in turn call are not changed
here based on the assumption that the various checks in jsonfuncs.c
functions should ensure that only values that are structurally valid
get passed to the functions in those external modules.  An exception
is made for domain_check() to allow handling domain constraint
violation errors softly.

For testing, this adds a function jsonb_populate_record_valid(),
which returns true if jsonb_populate_record() would finish without
causing an error for the provided JSON object, false otherwise.  Note
that jsonb_populate_record() internally calls populate_record(),
which in turn uses populate_record_field().

Extracted from a much larger patch to add SQL/JSON query functions.

Michael Paquier d86d20f0ba Add backend support for injection points
Injection points are a new facility that makes possible for developers
to run custom code in pre-defined code paths.  Its goal is to provide
ways to design and run advanced tests, for cases like:
- Race conditions, where processes need to do actions in a controlled
ordered manner.
- Forcing a state, like an ERROR, FATAL or even PANIC for OOM, to force
recovery, etc.
- Arbitrary sleeps.

This implements some basics, and there are plans to extend it more in
the future depending on what's required.  Hence, this commit adds a set
of routines in the backend that allows developers to attach, detach and
run injection points:
- A code path calling an injection point can be declared with the macro
INJECTION_POINT(name).
- InjectionPointAttach() and InjectionPointDetach() to respectively
attach and detach a callback to/from an injection point.  An injection
point name is registered in a shmem hash table with a library name and a
function name, which will be used to load the callback attached to an
injection point when its code path is run.

Injection point names are just strings, so as an injection point can be
declared and run by out-of-core extensions and modules, with callbacks
defined in external libraries.

This facility is hidden behind a dedicated switch for ./configure and
meson, disabled by default.

Note that backends use a local cache to store callbacks already loaded,
cleaning up their cache if a callback has found to be removed on a
best-effort basis.  This could be refined further but any tests but what
we have here was fine with the tests I've written while implementing
these backend APIs.

Nathan Bossart 8b2bcf3f28 Introduce the dynamic shared memory registry.
Presently, the most straightforward way for a shared library to use
shared memory is to request it at server startup via a
shmem_request_hook, which requires specifying the library in
shared_preload_libraries.  Alternatively, the library can create a
dynamic shared memory (DSM) segment, but absent a shared location
to store the segment's handle, other backends cannot use it.  This
commit introduces a registry for DSM segments so that these other
backends can look up existing segments with a library-specified
string.  This allows libraries to easily use shared memory without
needing to request it at server startup.

The registry is accessed via the new GetNamedDSMSegment() function.
This function handles allocating the segment and initializing it
via a provided callback.  If another backend already created and
initialized the segment, it simply attaches the segment.
GetNamedDSMSegment() locks the registry appropriately to ensure
that only one backend initializes the segment and that all other
backends just attach it.

The registry itself is comprised of a dshash table that stores the
DSM segment handles keyed by a library-specified string.

Alexander Korotkov 9e2d870119 Add new COPY option SAVE_ERROR_TO
Currently, when source data contains unexpected data regarding data type or
range, the entire COPY fails. However, in some cases, such data can be ignored
and just copying normal data is preferable.

This commit adds a new option SAVE_ERROR_TO, which specifies where to save the
error information. When this option is specified, COPY skips soft errors and
continues copying.

Currently, SAVE_ERROR_TO only supports "none". This indicates error information
is not saved and COPY just skips the unexpected data and continues running.

Later works are expected to add more choices, such as 'log' and 'table'.

Peter Eisentraut 6995863157 Support identity columns in partitioned tables
Previously, identity columns were disallowed on partitioned tables.
(The reason was mainly that no one had gotten around to working
through all the details to make it work.)  This makes it work now.

Some details on the behavior:

* A newly created partition inherits identity property

  The partitions of a partitioned table are integral part of the
  partitioned table.  A partition inherits identity columns from the
  partitioned table.  An identity column of a partition shares the
  identity space with the corresponding column of the partitioned
  table.  In other words, the same identity column across all
  partitions of a partitioned table share the same identity space.
  This is effected by sharing the same underlying sequence.

  When INSERTing directly into a partition, the sequence associated
  with the topmost partitioned table is used to calculate the value of
  the corresponding identity column.

  In regular inheritance, identity columns and their properties in a
  child table are independent of those in its parent tables.  A child
  table does not inherit identity columns or their properties
  automatically from the parent.  (This is unchanged.)

* Attached partition inherits identity column

  A table being attached as a partition inherits the identity property
  from the partitioned table.  This should be fine since we expect
  that the partition table's column has the same type as the
  partitioned table's corresponding column.  If the table being
  attached is a partitioned table, the identity properties are
  propagated down its partition hierarchy.

  An identity column in the partitioned table is also marked as NOT
  NULL.  The corresponding column in the partition needs to be marked
  as NOT NULL for the attach to succeed.

* Drop identity property when detaching partition

  A partition's identity column shares the identity space
  (i.e. underlying sequence) as the corresponding column of the
  partitioned table.  If a partition is detached it can longer share
  the identity space as before.  Hence the identity columns of the
  partition being detached loose their identity property.

  When identity of a column of a regular table is dropped it retains
  the NOT NULL constraint that came with the identity property.
  Similarly the columns of the partition being detached retain the NOT
  NULL constraints that came with identity property, even though the
  identity property itself is lost.

  The sequence associated with the identity property is linked to the
  partitioned table (and not the partition being detached).  That
  sequence is not dropped as part of detach operation.

* Partitions with their own identity columns are not allowed.

* The usual ALTER operations (add identity column, add identity
  property to existing column, alter properties of an indentity
  column, drop identity property) are supported for partitioned
  tables.  Changing a column only in a partitioned table or a
  partition is not allowed; the change needs to be applied to the
  whole partition hierarchy.

2024-01-14 07:46:01 +01:00
Peter Eisentraut 4f622503d6 Make attstattarget nullable
This changes the pg_attribute field attstattarget into a nullable
field in the variable-length part of the row.  If no value is set by
the user for attstattarget, it is now null instead of previously -1.
This saves space in pg_attribute and tuple descriptors for most
practical scenarios.  (ATTRIBUTE_FIXED_PART_SIZE is reduced from 108
to 104.)  Also, null is the semantically more correct value.

The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default
statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal
with null values.  But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code.
Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null.

For system columns, the field is now always null.  The ANALYZE code
skips system columns anyway.

To set a column's statistics target to the default value, the new
command form ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DEFAULT can be used.  (SET
STATISTICS -1 still works.)

Nathan Bossart d97ef756af Fix documentation for wal_summary_keep_time.
The documentation for this parameter lists its type as boolean, but
it is actually an integer.  Furthermore, there is no mention of how
the value is interpreted when specified without units.  This commit
fixes these oversights in commit 174c480508.

Joe Conway a7be2a6c26 Add new function, PQchangePassword(), to libpq
Essentially this moves the non-interactive part of psql's "\password"
command into an exported client function. The password is not sent to the
server in cleartext because it is "encrypted" (in the case of scram and md5
it is actually hashed, but we have called these encrypted passwords for a
long time now) on the client side. This is good because it ensures the
cleartext password is never known by the server, and therefore won't end up
in logs, pg_stat displays, etc.

In other words, it exists for the same reason as PQencryptPasswordConn(), but
is more convenient as it both builds and runs the "ALTER USER" command for
you. PQchangePassword() uses PQencryptPasswordConn() to do the password
encryption. PQencryptPasswordConn() is passed a NULL for the algorithm
argument, hence encryption is done according to the server's
password_encryption setting.

Also modify the psql client to use the new function. That provides a builtin
test case. Ultimately drivers built on top of libpq should expose this
function and its use should be generally encouraged over doing ALTER USER
directly for password changes.

Tatsuo Ishii d596736a49 Doc: fix character_sets view.
The note regarding character encoding form in "The Information Schema"
said that LATIN1 character repertoires only use one encoding form
LATIN1. This is not correct because LATIN1 has another encoding form
ISO-2022-JP-2. To fix this, replace LATIN1 with LATIN2, which is not
supported by ISO-2022-JP-2, thus it can be said that LATIN2 only uses
one encoding form.

Back-patch to supported branches.

Noah Misch d3c5f37dd5 Make dblink interruptible, via new libpqsrv APIs.
This replaces dblink's blocking libpq calls, allowing cancellation and
allowing DROP DATABASE (of a database not involved in the query).  Apart
from explicit dblink_cancel_query() calls, dblink still doesn't cancel
the remote side.  The replacement for the blocking calls consists of
new, general-purpose query execution wrappers in the libpqsrv facility.
Out-of-tree extensions should adopt these.  Use them in postgres_fdw,
replacing a local implementation from which the libpqsrv implementation
derives.  This is a bug fix for dblink.  Code inspection identified the
bug at least thirteen years ago, but user complaints have not appeared.
Hence, no back-patch for now.

Peter Eisentraut 5d06e99a3c ALTER TABLE command to change generation expression
This adds a new ALTER TABLE subcommand ALTER COLUMN ... SET EXPRESSION
that changes the generation expression of a generated column.

The syntax is not standard but was adapted from other SQL
implementations.

This command causes a table rewrite, using the usual ALTER TABLE
mechanisms.  The implementation is similar to and makes use of some of
the infrastructure of the SET DATA TYPE subcommand (for example,
rebuilding constraints and indexes afterwards).  The new command
requires a new pass in AlterTablePass, and the ADD COLUMN pass had to
be moved earlier so that combinations of ADD COLUMN and SET EXPRESSION
can work.

Amit Kapila 007693f2a3 Track conflict_reason in pg_replication_slots.
This patch changes the existing 'conflicting' field to 'conflict_reason'
in pg_replication_slots. This new field indicates the reason for the
logical slot's conflict with recovery. It is always NULL for physical
slots, as well as for logical slots which are not invalidated. The
non-NULL values indicate that the slot is marked as invalidated. Possible
values are:

wal_removed = required WAL has been removed.
rows_removed = required rows have been removed.
wal_level_insufficient = the primary doesn't have a wal_level sufficient
to perform logical decoding.

The existing users of 'conflicting' column can get the same answer by
using 'conflict_reason' IS NOT NULL.

Amit Kapila 9a17be1e24 Allow upgrades to preserve the full subscription's state.
This feature will allow us to replicate the changes on subscriber nodes
after the upgrade.

Previously, only the subscription metadata information was preserved.
Without the list of relations and their state, it's not possible to
re-enable the subscriptions without missing some records as the list of
relations can only be refreshed after enabling the subscription (and
therefore starting the apply worker).  Even if we added a way to refresh
the subscription while enabling a publication, we still wouldn't know
which relations are new on the publication side, and therefore should be
fully synced, and which shouldn't.

To preserve the subscription relations, this patch teaches pg_dump to
restore the content of pg_subscription_rel from the old cluster by using
binary_upgrade_add_sub_rel_state SQL function. This is supported only
in binary upgrade mode.

The subscription's replication origin is needed to ensure that we don't
replicate anything twice.

To preserve the replication origins, this patch teaches pg_dump to update
the replication origin along with creating a subscription by using
binary_upgrade_replorigin_advance SQL function to restore the
underlying replication origin remote LSN. This is supported only in
binary upgrade mode.

pg_upgrade will check that all the subscription relations are in 'i'
(init) or in 'r' (ready) state and will error out if that's not the case,
logging the reason for the failure. This helps to avoid the risk of any
dangling slot or origin after the upgrade.

Peter Eisentraut a740b213d4 Add GUC backtrace_on_internal_error
When enabled (default off), this logs a backtrace anytime elog() or an
equivalent ereport() for internal errors is called.

This is not well covered by the existing backtrace_functions, because
there are many equally-worded low-level errors in many functions.  And
if you find out where the error is, then you need to manually rewrite
the elog() to ereport() to attach the errbacktrace(), which is
annoying.  Having a backtrace automatically on every elog() call could
be very helpful during development for various kinds of common errors
from palloc, syscache, node support, etc.
