My tweak of these error messages in commit c359a1b082 contained the
thinko that a query would always have rowMarks set for a query
containing a locking clause. Not so: when declaring a cursor, for
instance, rowMarks isn't set at the point we're checking, so we'd be
dereferencing a NULL pointer.
The fix is to pass the lock strength to the function raising the error,
instead of trying to reverse-engineer it. The result not only is more
robust, but it also seems cleaner overall.
Per report from Robert Haas.
As pointed out by Tom Lane, we can allow other users of the error
handler callbacks to provide their own memory context by adding
the context to use to ErrorData and using that instead of explicitly
using ErrorContext.
This then allows GetErrorContextStack() to be called from inside
exception handlers, so modify plpgsql to take advantage of that and
add an associated regression test for it.
We'd find the same match twice if it was of zero length and not immediately
adjacent to the previous match. replace_text_regexp() got similar cases
right, so adjust this search logic to match that. Note that even though
the regexp_split_to_xxx() functions share this code, they did not display
equivalent misbehavior, because the second match would be considered
degenerate and ignored.

Refactoring as part of commit 8ceb245680
had the unintended effect of making REINDEX TABLE and REINDEX DATABASE
no longer validate constraints enforced by the indexes in question;
REINDEX INDEX still did so. Indexes marked invalid remained so, and
constraint violations arising from data corruption went undetected.
Back-patch to 9.0, like the causative commit.
As GetErrorContextStack() borrowed setup and tear-down code from other
places, it was less than clear that it must only be called as a
top-level entry point into the error system and can't be called by an
exception handler (unlike the rest of the error system, which is set up
to be reentrant-safe).
Being called from an exception handler is outside the charter of
GetErrorContextStack(), so add a bit more protection against it,
improve the comments addressing why we have to set up an errordata
stack for this function at all, and add a few more regression tests.
Lack of clarity pointed out by Tom Lane; all bugs are mine.
This adds the ability to get the call stack as a string from within a
PL/PgSQL function, which can be handy for logging to a table, or to
include in a useful message to an end-user.

around by Stephen Frost.
After further thought about implicit coercions appearing in a joinaliasvars
list, I realized that they represent an additional reason why we might need
to reference the join output column directly instead of referencing an
underlying column. Consider SELECT x FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (x) where
t1.x is of type date while t2.x is of type timestamptz. The merged output
variable is of type timestamptz, but it won't go to null when t2 does,
therefore neither t1.x nor t2.x is a valid substitute reference.
The code in get_variable() actually gets this case right, since it knows
it shouldn't look through a coercion, but we failed to ensure that the
unqualified output column name would be globally unique. To fix, modify
the code that trawls for a dangerous situation so that it actually scans
through an unnamed join's joinaliasvars list to see if there are any
non-simple-Var entries.
It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a
view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it
will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to
replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation
of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble
with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after
subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN.
Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression
trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE()
still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr
generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code.
In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in
ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars
entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was
because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h,
which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the
same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.
Future patches are expected to introduce logical replication that
works by decoding WAL. WAL contains relfilenodes rather than relation
OIDs, so this infrastructure will be needed to find the relation OID
based on WAL contents.
If logical replication does not make it into this release, we probably
should consider reverting this, since it will add some overhead to DDL
operations that create new relations. One additional index insert per
pg_class row is not a large overhead, but it's more than zero.
Another way of meeting the needs of logical replication would be to
the relation OID to WAL, but that would burden DML operations, not
only DDL.
Andres Freund, with some changes by me. Design review, in earlier
versions, by Álvaro Herrera.
An ancient logic error in cfindloop() could cause the regex engine to fail
to find matches that begin later than the start of the string. This
function is only used when the regex pattern contains a back reference,
and so far as we can tell the error is only reachable if the pattern is
non-greedy (i.e. its first quantifier uses the ? modifier). Furthermore,
the actual match must begin after some potential match that satisfies the
DFA but then fails the back-reference's match test.
Reported and fixed by Jeevan Chalke, with cosmetic adjustments by me.
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.

This is more efficient and simpler . It does mean that an untyped NULL

The code in set_append_rel_pathlist() for building parameterized paths
for append relations (inheritance and UNION ALL combinations) supposed
that the cheapest regular path for a child relation would still be cheapest
when reparameterized. Which might not be the case, particularly if the
added join conditions are expensive to compute, as in a recent example from
Jeff Janes. Fix it to compare child path costs *after* reparameterizing.
We can short-circuit that if the cheapest pre-existing path is already
parameterized correctly, which seems likely to be true often enough to be
worth checking for.
Back-patch to 9.2 where parameterized paths were introduced.
Commit 31a891857a added some tests in
plpgsql.sql that used a function rather unthinkingly named "foo()".
However, rangefuncs.sql has some much older tests that create a function
of that name, and since these test scripts run in parallel, there is a
chance of failures if the timing is just right. Use another name to
avoid that. Per buildfarm (failure seen today on "hamerkop", but
probably it's happened before and not been noticed).

The collate.linux.utf8 test covers some of the same territory, but

An INSERT into such a view should work just like an INSERT into its base
table, ie the insertion should go directly into that table ... not be
duplicated into each child table, as was happening before, per bug #8275
from Rushabh Lathia. On the other hand, the current behavior for
UPDATE/DELETE seems reasonable: the update/delete traverses the child
tables, or not, depending on whether the view specifies ONLY or not.
Add some regression tests covering this area.

Specifically, permit attaching them to the error in RAISE and retrieving
them from a caught error in GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS. RAISE enforces
nothing about the content of the fields; for its purposes, they are just
additional string fields. Consequently, clarify in the protocol and
libpq documentation that the usual relationships between error fields,
like a schema name appearing wherever a table name appears, are not
universal. This freedom has other applications; consider a FDW
propagating an error from an RDBMS having no schema support.
Back-patch to 9.3, where core support for the error fields was
introduced. This prevents the confusion of having a release where libpq
exposes the fields and PL/pgSQL does not.

Per report from Svenne Krap and analysis by Jeff Janes
Per discussion on -hackers. We treat Unicode escapes when unescaping
them similarly to the way we treat them in PostgreSQL string literals.
Escapes in the ASCII range are always accepted, no matter what the
database encoding. Escapes for higher code points are only processed in
UTF8 databases, and attempts to process them in other databases will
result in an error. \u0000 is never unescaped, since it would result in
an impermissible null byte.
When the existing code here was written, it made sense to special-case
RowExprs because that was the only way that we could handle row comparisons
at all. Now that we have record_eq() and arrays of composites, the generic
logic for "scalar" types will in fact work on RowExprs too, so there's no
reason to throw error for combinations of RowExprs and other ways of
forming composite values, nor to ignore the possibility of using a
ScalarArrayOpExpr. But keep using the old logic when comparing two
RowExprs, for consistency with the main transformAExprOp() logic. (This
allows some cases with not-quite-identical rowtypes to succeed, so we might
get push-back if we removed it.) Per bug #8198 from Rafal Rzepecki.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since this works fine as far back as
8.4.

In 9.2, Unicode escape sequences are not analysed at all other than
to make sure that they are in the form \uXXXX. But in 9.3 many of the
new operators and functions try to turn JSON text values into text in
the server encoding, and this includes de-escaping Unicode escape
sequences. This processing had not taken into account the possibility
that this might contain a surrogate pair to designate a character
outside the BMP. That is now handled correctly.
This also enforces correct use of surrogate pairs, something that is not
done by the type's input routines. This fact is noted in the docs.
The planner is aware that it mustn't push down upper-level quals into
subqueries if the quals reference subquery output columns that contain
set-returning functions or volatile functions, or are non-DISTINCT outputs
of a DISTINCT ON subquery. However, it missed making this check when
there were one or more levels of UNION or INTERSECT above the dangerous
expression. This could lead to "set-valued function called in context that
cannot accept a set" errors, as seen in bug #8213 from Eric Soroos, or to
silently wrong answers in the other cases.
To fix, refactor the checks so that we make the column-is-unsafe checks
during subquery_is_pushdown_safe(), which already has to recursively
inspect all arms of a set-operation tree. This makes
qual_is_pushdown_safe() considerably simpler, at the cost that we will
spend some cycles checking output columns that possibly aren't referenced
in any upper qual. But the cases where this code gets executed at all
are already nontrivial queries, so it's unlikely anybody will notice any
slowdown of planning.
This has been broken since commit 05f916e6ad,
which makes the bug over ten years old. A bit surprising nobody noticed it
before now.
euc_* and mule_internal test cases were identical to the ones in

Fixes oversight in commit 2ffa740be9.
Per report from Josh Kupershmidt.
I think we've broken this case before, so let's add a regression test
this time.
In a construct like "select plain_function(set_returning_function(...))",
the plain function is applied to each output row of the SRF successively.
If some of the SRF outputs are NULL, and the plain function is strict,
you'd expect to get NULL results for such rows ... but what actually
happened was that such rows were omitted entirely from the result set.
This was due to confusion of this case with what should happen for nested
set-returning functions; a strict SRF is indeed supposed to yield an empty
set for null input. Per bug #8150 from Erwin Brandstetter.
Although this has been broken forever, we're not back-patching because
of the possibility that some apps out there expect the incorrect behavior.
This change should be listed as a possible incompatibility in the 9.3
release notes.
This reverts the code changes in 50c137487c,
which turned out to induce crashes and not completely fix the problem
anyway. That commit only considered single subqueries that were excluded
by constraint-exclusion logic, but actually the problem also exists for
subqueries that are appendrel members (ie part of a UNION ALL list). In
such cases we can't add a dummy subpath to the appendrel's AppendPath list
without defeating the logic that recognizes when an appendrel is completely
excluded. Instead, fix the problem by having setrefs.c scan the rangetable
an extra time looking for subqueries that didn't get into the plan tree.
(This approach depends on the 9.2 change that made set_subquery_pathlist
generate dummy paths for excluded single subqueries, so that the exclusion
behavior is the same for single subqueries and appendrel members.)
Note: it turns out that the appendrel form of the missed-permissions-checks
bug exists as far back as 8.4. However, since the practical effect of that
bug seems pretty minimal, consensus is to not attempt to fix it in the back
branches, at least not yet. Possibly we could back-port this patch once
it's gotten a reasonable amount of testing in HEAD. For the moment I'm
just going to revert the previous patch in 9.2.
What we have implemented is a radix tree (or a radix trie or a patricia
trie), but the docs and code comments incorrectly called it a "suffix tree".

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.
The initial implementation of this feature was really unsupportable,
because it's relying on the physical size of an on-disk file to carry the
relation's populated/unpopulated state, which is at least a modularity
violation and could have serious long-term consequences. We could say that
an unlogged matview goes to empty on crash, but not everybody likes that
definition, so let's just remove the feature for 9.3. We can add it back
when we have a less klugy implementation.
I left the grammar and tab-completion support for CREATE UNLOGGED
MATERIALIZED VIEW in place, since it's harmless and allows delivering a
more specific error message about the unsupported feature.
I'm committing this separately to ease identification of what should be
reverted when/if we are able to re-enable the feature.
A view defined as "select <something> where false" had the curious property
that the system wouldn't check whether users had the privileges necessary
to select from it. More generally, permissions checks could be skipped
for tables referenced in sub-selects or views that were proven empty by
constraint exclusion (although some quick testing suggests this seldom
happens in cases of practical interest). This happened because the planner
failed to include rangetable entries for such tables in the finished plan.
This was noticed in connection with erroneous handling of materialized
views, but actually the issue is quite unrelated to matviews. Therefore,
revert commit 200ba1667b in favor of a more
direct test for the real problem.
Back-patch to 9.2 where the bug was introduced (by commit
7741dd6590).
This patch gets rid of the concept of, and infrastructure for,
non-canonical PathKeys; we now only ever create canonical pathkey lists.
The need for non-canonical pathkeys came from the desire to have
grouping_planner initialize query_pathkeys and related pathkey lists before
calling query_planner. However, since query_planner didn't actually *do*
anything with those lists before they'd been made canonical, we can get rid
of the whole mess by just not creating the lists at all until the point
where we formerly canonicalized them.
There are several ways in which we could implement that without making
query_planner itself deal with grouping/sorting features (which are
supposed to be the province of grouping_planner). I chose to add a
callback function to query_planner's API; other alternatives would have
required adding more fields to PlannerInfo, which while not bad in itself
would create an ABI break for planner-related plugins in the 9.2 release
series. This still breaks ABI for anything that calls query_planner
directly, but it seems somewhat unlikely that there are any such plugins.
I had originally conceived of this change as merely a step on the way to
fixing bug #8049 from Teun Hoogendoorn; but it turns out that this fixes
that bug all by itself, as per the added regression test. The reason is
that now get_eclass_for_sort_expr is adding the ORDER BY expression at the
end of EquivalenceClass creation not the start, and so anything that is in
a multi-member EquivalenceClass has already been created with correct
em_nullable_relids. I am suspicious that there are related scenarios in
which we still need to teach get_eclass_for_sort_expr to compute correct
nullable_relids, but am not eager to risk destabilizing either 9.2 or 9.3
to fix bugs that are only hypothetical. So for the moment, do this and
stop here.
Back-patch to 9.2 but not to earlier branches, since they don't exhibit
this bug for lack of join-clause-movement logic that depends on
em_nullable_relids being correct. (We might have to revisit that choice
if any related bugs turn up.) In 9.2, don't change the signature of
make_pathkeys_for_sortclauses nor remove canonicalize_pathkeys, so as
not to risk more plugin breakage than we have to.
ORDER BY expressions were being treated the same as regular aggregate
arguments for purposes of collation determination, but really they should
not affect the aggregate's collation at all; only collations of the
aggregate's regular arguments should affect it.
In many cases this mistake would lead to incorrectly throwing a "collation
conflict" error; but in some cases the corrected code will silently assign
a different collation to the aggregate than before, for example
agg(foo ORDER BY bar COLLATE "x")
which will now use foo's collation rather than "x" for the aggregate.
Given this risk and the lack of field complaints about the issue, it
doesn't seem prudent to back-patch.
In passing, rearrange code in assign_collations_walker so that we don't
need multiple copies of the standard logic for computing collation of a
node with children. (Previously, CaseExpr duplicated the standard logic,
and we would have needed a third copy for Aggref without this change.)
