In pg_dump.c dumpCast() and dumpTransform(), we would happily ignore the
cast or transform if it happened to use a built-in function because we
weren't including the information about built-in functions when querying
pg_proc from getFuncs().
Modify the query in getFuncs() to also gather information about
functions which are used by user-defined casts and transforms (where
"user-defined" means "has an OID >= FirstNormalObjectId"). This also
adds to the TAP regression tests for 9.6 and master to cover these
types of objects.

We didn't start ensuring that all built-in objects had OIDs less than
16384 until 8.1, so for 8.0 servers we still need to query the value out
of pg_database. We need this, in particular, to distinguish which casts
were built-in and which were user-defined.

we also ensure that 7.0-7.4 work.

Commit 56c7d8d455 allowed pg_basebackup
to stream WAL in tar mode. But there is the restriction that WAL
streaming in tar mode works only when the value - (dash) is not
specified as output directory. This means that the combination of
three options "-D -", "-F t" and "-X stream" is invalid. However,
previously, even when those options were specified at the same time,
pg_basebackup background process unexpectedly started streaming WAL.
And then it exited with an error.
This commit changes pg_basebackup so that it errors out on such
invalid combination of options at the beginning.

Partition name needs to be quoted in the ATTACH PARTITION command

Silence compiler warning about set but unused variable, without

Table partitioning is like table inheritance and reuses much of the
existing infrastructure, but there are some important differences.
The parent is called a partitioned table and is always empty; it may
not have indexes or non-inherited constraints, since those make no
sense for a relation with no data of its own. The children are called
partitions and contain all of the actual data. Each partition has an
implicit partitioning constraint. Multiple inheritance is not
allowed, and partitioning and inheritance can't be mixed. Partitions
can't have extra columns and may not allow nulls unless the parent
does. Tuples inserted into the parent are automatically routed to the
correct partition, so tuple-routing ON INSERT triggers are not needed.
Tuple routing isn't yet supported for partitions which are foreign
tables, and it doesn't handle updates that cross partition boundaries.
Currently, tables can be range-partitioned or list-partitioned. List
partitioning is limited to a single column, but range partitioning can
involve multiple columns. A partitioning "column" can be an
expression.
Because table partitioning is less general than table inheritance, it
is hoped that it will be easier to reason about properties of
partitions, and therefore that this will serve as a better foundation
for a variety of possible optimizations, including query planner
optimizations. The tuple routing based which this patch does based on
the implicit partitioning constraints is an example of this, but it
seems likely that many other useful optimizations are also possible.

Add a loop to check that each test covers all of the pg_dump runs. We
(I) had been a bit sloppy when adding new runs and not making sure to
mark if they should be under like or unlike for each test, this loop
makes sure that the test system will complain if any are forgotten in
the future.
The loop also correctly handles the 'catch all' cases, which are used to
avoid running unnecessary specific checks when a single catch-all can be
done (eg: a no-acl run should not have any GRANT commands).
Also, re-enable the testing of blobs, but use lo_from_bytea() instead of
trying to be cute and writing out to a file and then reading it back in
with psql, which proved to be difficult for some buildfarm members.
This allows us to add support for testing the --no-blobs option which
will be getting added shortly, provided the buildfarm doesn't blow up on
this.
pg_dump's traditional solution for breaking a circular dependency involving
a view was to create the view with CREATE TABLE and then later issue CREATE
RULE "_RETURN" ... to convert the table to a view, relying on the backend's
very very ancient code that supports making views that way. We've wanted
to get rid of that kluge for a long time, but the thing that finally
motivates doing something about it is the recognition that this method
fails with the --clean option, because it leads to issuing DROP RULE
"_RETURN" followed by DROP TABLE --- and the backend won't let you drop a
view's _RETURN rule.
Instead, let's break circular dependencies by initially creating the view
using CREATE VIEW AS SELECT NULL::columntype AS columnname, ... (so that
it has the right column names and types to support external references,
but no dependencies beyond the column data types), and then later dumping
the ON SELECT rule using the spelling CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW. This method
wasn't available when this code was originally written, but it's been
possible since PG 7.3, so it seems fine to start relying on it now.
To solve the --clean problem, make the dropStmt for an ON SELECT rule
be CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW with the same dummy target list as above.
In this way, during the DROP phase, we first reduce the view to have
no extra dependencies, and then we can drop it entirely when we've
gotten rid of whatever had a circular dependency on it.
(Note: this should work adequately well with the --if-exists option, since
the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW will go through whether the view exists or not.
It could fail if the view exists with a conflicting column set, but we
don't really support --clean against a non-matching database anyway.)
This allows cleaning up some other kluges inside pg_dump, notably that
we don't need a notion of reloptions attached to a rule anymore.
Although this is a bug fix, commit to HEAD only for now. The problem's
existed for a long time and we've had relatively few complaints, so it
doesn't really seem worth taking risks to fix it in the back branches.
We might revisit that choice if no problems emerge.

Previously, pg_upgrade migrated sequence data like tables by copying the
on-disk file. This does not allow any changes in the on-disk format for
sequences. It's simpler to just have pg_dump set the new sequence
values as it normally does. To do that, create a hidden submode in
pg_dump that dumps sequence data even when a schema-only dump is
requested, and trigger that submode in binary upgrade mode. (This new
submode could easily be exposed as a command-line option, but it has
limited use outside of pg_dump and would probably cause some confusion,
so we don't do that at this time.)

This will write the received transaction log into a file called

base.tar. When using fetch mode, the transaction log is still written to

is named pg_xlog.tar.
To do this, implement a new concept of a "walmethod", which is

writes to a plain directory (which is also used by pg_receivexlog) and

pg_upgrade checks whether all the shared libraries used in the old cluster

Previously, it cared not what order it did the LOADs in. Ideally it
should not have to care, but currently the transform modules in contrib
fail unless both the language and datatype modules they depend on are
loaded first. A backend-side solution for that looks possible but
probably not back-patchable, so as a stopgap measure, let's do the LOAD
tests in order by library name length. That should fix the problem for
reasonably-named transform modules, eg "hstore_plpython" will be loaded
after both "hstore" and "plpython". (Yeah, it's a hack.)
In a larger sense, having a predictable order of these probes is a good
thing, since it will make upgrades predictably work or not work in the
face of inter-library dependencies. Also, this patch replaces O(N^2)
de-duplication logic with O(N log N) logic, which could matter in
installations with very many databases. So I don't foresee reverting this

The previous design for this had copyFile(), linkFile(), and
rewriteVisibilityMap() returning strerror strings, with the caller
producing one-size-fits-all error messages based on that. This made it
impossible to produce messages that described the failures with any degree
of precision, especially not short-read problems since those don't set
errno at all.
Since pg_upgrade has no intention of continuing after any error in this
area, let's fix this by just letting these functions call pg_fatal() for
themselves, making it easy for each point of failure to have a suitable
error message. Taking this approach also allows dropping cleanup code
that was unnecessary and was often rather sloppy about preserving errno.
To not lose relevant info that was reported before, pass in the schema name
and table name of the current table so that they can be included in the
error reports.
An additional problem was the use of getErrorText(), which was flat out
wrong for all but a couple of call sites, because it unconditionally did
"_dosmaperr(GetLastError())" on Windows. That's only appropriate when
reporting an error from a Windows-native API, which only a couple of
the callers were actually doing. Thus, even the reported strerror string
would be unrelated to the actual failure in many cases on Windows.
To fix, get rid of getErrorText() altogether, and just have call sites
do strerror(errno) instead, since that's the way all the rest of our
frontend programs do it. Add back the _dosmaperr() calls in the two
places where that's actually appropriate.
In passing, make assorted messages hew more closely to project style
guidelines, notably by removing initial capitals in not-complete-sentence
primary error messages. (I didn't make any effort to clean up places
I didn't have another reason to touch, though.)

This is new code in 9.6, and evidently we missed out testing it as
thoroughly as it should have been. Bugs fixed here:
1. Use binary not text mode to open the files on Windows. Before, if
the visibility map chanced to contain two bytes that looked like \r\n,
Windows' read() would convert that to \n, which both corrupts the map
data and causes the file to look shorter than it should. Unless you
were *very* unlucky and had an exact multiple of 8K such occurrences
in each VM file, this would cause pg_upgrade to report a failure,
though with a rather obscure error message.
2. The code for copying rebuilt bytes into the output was simply wrong.
It chanced to work okay on little-endian machines but would emit the
bytes in the wrong order on big-endian, leading to silent corruption
of the visibility map data.
3. The code was careless about alignment of the working buffers. Given
all three of an alignment-picky architecture, a compiler that chooses
to put the new_vmbuf[] local variable at an odd starting address, and
a checksum-enabled database, pg_upgrade would dump core.
Point one was reported by Thomas Kellerer, the other two detected by
code-reading.
Point two is much the nastiest of these issues from an impact standpoint,
though fortunately it affects only a minority of users. The Windows issue
will definitely bite people, but it seems quite unlikely that there would
be undetected corruption from that.

The existing APIs for creating and parsing command and status messages are
rather messy; for example, archive-format modules have to provide code
for constructing command messages, which is entirely pointless since
the code to read them is hard-wired in WaitForCommands() and hence
no format-specific variation is actually possible. But there's little
foreseeable reason to need format-specific variation anyway.
The situation for status messages is no better; at least those are both
constructed and parsed by format-specific code, but said code is quite
redundant since there's no actual need for format-specific variation.
To add insult to injury, the first API involves returning pointers to
static buffers, which is bad, while the second involves returning pointers
to malloc'd strings, which is safer but randomly inconsistent.
Hence, get rid of the MasterStartParallelItem and MasterEndParallelItem
APIs, and instead write centralized functions that construct and parse
command and status messages. If we ever do need more flexibility, these
functions can be the standard implementations of format-specific
callback methods, but that's a long way off if it ever happens.

The ListenToWorkers/ReapWorkerStatus APIs were messy and hard to use.
Instead, make DispatchJobForTocEntry register a callback function that
will take care of state cleanup, doing whatever had been done by the caller
of ReapWorkerStatus in the old design. (This callback is essentially just
the old mark_work_done function in the restore case, and a trivial test for
worker failure in the dump case.) Then we can have ListenToWorkers call
the callback immediately on receipt of a status message, and return the
worker to WRKR_IDLE state; so the WRKR_FINISHED state goes away.
This allows us to design a unified wait-for-worker-messages loop:
WaitForWorkers replaces EnsureIdleWorker and EnsureWorkersFinished as well
as the mess in restore_toc_entries_parallel. Also, we no longer need the
fragile API spec that the caller of DispatchJobForTocEntry is responsible
for ensuring there's an idle worker, since DispatchJobForTocEntry can just
wait until there is one.

doCustom for clients we don't know have input. Doing so would likely
be harmless, but it's a waste of cycles and doesn't seem to be intended.
Make this_usec wide enough. (Yeah, the value would usually fit in an
int, but then why are we using int64 everywhere else?)
Minor cosmetic adjustments, mostly comment improvements.
Problems introduced by commit 12788ae49. The first issue was discovered
by buildfarm testing, the others by code review.
The doCustom() function had grown into quite a mess. Rewrite it, in a more
explicit state machine style, for readability.
This also fixes one minor bug: if a script consisted entirely of meta
commands, doCustom() never returned to the caller, so progress reports
with the -P option were not printed. I don't want to backpatch this
refactoring, and the bug is quite insignificant, so only commit this to
master, and leave the bug unfixed in back-branches.

We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"
or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't
Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead
to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the
ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not
seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)
I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are
obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.
I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but
those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended
up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this,
so why shouldn't we be?
Faulty AND/OR nesting in the WHERE clause of getFuncs' SQL query led to
dumping range constructor functions if they are part of an extension
and we're in binary-upgrade mode. Actually, we don't want to dump them
separately even then, since CREATE TYPE AS RANGE will create the range's
constructor functions regardless. Per report from Andrew Dunstan.
It looks like this mistake was introduced by me, in commit b985d4877, in
perhaps-overzealous refactoring to reduce code duplication. I'm suitably
embarrassed.

The way "latency average" was printed was differently if it was calculated

Fix provided by Tom Lane, reviewed by Vitaly Burovoy.
Previously, if a schema was created by an extension, a normal pg_dump run
(not --binary-upgrade) would summarily skip every object in that schema.
In a case where an extension creates a schema and then users create other
objects within that schema, this does the wrong thing: we want pg_dump
to skip the schema but still create the non-extension-owned objects.
There's no easy way to fix this pre-9.6, because in earlier versions the
"dump" status for a schema is just a bool and there's no way to distinguish
"dump me" from "dump my members". However, as of 9.6 we do have enough
state to represent that, so this is a simple correction of the logic in
selectDumpableNamespace.
In passing, make some cosmetic fixes in nearby code.

Where possible, use palloc or pg_malloc instead; otherwise, insert
explicit NULL checks.
Generally speaking, these are places where an actual OOM is quite
unlikely, either because they're in client programs that don't
allocate all that much, or they're very early in process startup
so that we'd likely have had a fork() failure instead. Hence,
no back-patch, even though this is nominally a bug fix.

The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string.
That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them
were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free()
the string later, which required extra logic in most cases.
Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller.
Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small,
which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static
array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free.
A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't
requested the password yet". Maintaining the same behavior requires
adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the
complexity we save by removing free()s. Nonetheless, this nets out
at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code
than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks
everywhere they were needed.
In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid
of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path.
This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching,
because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems
pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway.
This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier
who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the
other way.

While testing simple_prompt() revisions, I happened to notice that
current initdb behaves rather badly when --pwprompt is specified and
the user miskeys the second password. It complains about the mismatch,
does "rm -rf" on the data directory, and exits. The problem is that
since commit c4a8812cf, there's a standalone backend sitting waiting
for commands at that point. It gets unhappy about its datadir having
gone away, and spews a PANIC message at the user, which is not nice.
(And the shell then adds to the mess with meaningless bleating about a
core dump...) We don't really want that sort of thing to happen unless
there's an internal failure in initdb, which this surely is not.
The best fix seems to be to move the collection of the password
earlier, so that it's done essentially as part of argument collection,
rather than at the rather ad-hoc time it was done before.

It is redundant with appendConnStrVal(), which became an extern function

handling of out-of-memory and of certain inputs for which quoting is
optional, but pg_basebackup has no need for unusual treatment thereof.
The original coding here was not nearly careful enough about quoting
special characters, and it didn't get corner cases right for constructing
the pg_ctl path either. Use join_path_components() and appendShellString()
to do it honestly, so that the string will more likely work if blindly
copied-and-pasted.
While at it, teach appendShellString() not to quote strings that clearly
don't need it, so that the output from initdb doesn't become uglier than
it was before in typical cases where quoting is not needed.

This is somewhat cosmetic, since as long as you know what you are looking
at, "10.0" is a serviceable substitute for "10". But there is a potential
for confusion between version numbers with minor numbers and those without
--- we don't want people asking "why is psql saying 10.0 when my server is
10.2". Therefore, back-patch as far as practical, which turns out to be
9.3. I could have redone the patch to use fprintf(stderr) in place of
psql_error(), but it seems more work than is warranted for branches that
will be EOL or nearly so by the time v10 comes out.
Although only psql seems to contain any code that needs this, I chose
to put the support function into fe_utils, since it seems likely we'll
need it in other client programs in future. (In 9.3-9.5, use dumputils.c,
the predecessor of fe_utils/string_utils.c.)
In HEAD, also fix the backend code that whines about loadable-library
version mismatch. I don't see much need to back-patch that.
This is a good bit more complicated than the average new-version stamping
commit, because it includes various adjustments in pursuit of changing
from three-part to two-part version numbers. It's likely some further
work will be needed around that change; but this is enough to get through
the regression tests, at least in Unix builds.

These programs nominally accepted conninfo strings, but they would
proceed to use the original dbname parameter as though it were an

both problems by using PQdb() to retrieve actual database names.
Continue to print the full conninfo string when reporting a connection
failure. It is informative there, and if the database name is the sole
problem, the server-side error message will include the name. Beyond
those user-visible fixes, this allows a subsequent commit to synthesize

Since -c plus -C requests dropping and recreating the target database

the public schema already exists and need not be created. The previous
coding considered only the state of the -c option, so it would emit
"CREATE SCHEMA public" anyway, leading to an unexpected error in restore.
Back-patch to 9.2. Older versions did not accept -c with -C so the
issue doesn't arise there. (The logic being patched here dates to 8.0,
cf commit 2193121fa, so it's not really wrong that it didn't consider
the case at the time.)
Note that versions before 9.6 will still attempt to emit REVOKE/GRANT
on the public schema; but that happens without -c/-C too, and doesn't
seem to be the focus of this complaint. I considered extending this
stanza to also skip the public schema's ACL, but that would be a
misfeature, as it'd break cases where users intentionally changed that
ACL. The real fix for this aspect is Stephen Frost's work to not dump

With the refactoring of pg_dump to handle components, getOwnedSeqs needs
to be a bit more intelligent regarding which components to dump when.
Specifically, we can't simply use the owning table's components as the
set of components to dump as the table might only be including certain
components while all components of the sequence should be dumped, for
example, when the table is a member of an extension while the sequence
is not.
Handle this by combining the set of components to be dumped for the

Per the fgets() specification, it cannot return without reading some data
unless it reports EOF or error. So the code here assumed that the data
buffer would necessarily be nonempty when we go to check for a newline
having been read. However, Agostino Sarubbo noticed that this could fail
to be true if the first byte of the data is a NUL (\0). The fgets() API
doesn't really work for embedded NULs, which is something I don't feel
any great need for us to worry about since we generally don't allow NULs
in SQL strings anyway. But we should not access off the end of our own
buffer if the case occurs. Normally this would just be a harmless read,

and we'd overwrite it with '\0', and if you were really unlucky that
might be valuable data and psql would crash.
Agostino reported this to pgsql-security, but after discussion we concluded

To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing

test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role
names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule

This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that

The original specification for this called for the deserialization function
to have signature "deserialize(serialtype) returns transtype", which is a
security violation if transtype is INTERNAL (which it always would be in
practice) and serialtype is not (which ditto). The patch blithely overrode
the opr_sanity check for that, which was sloppy-enough work in itself,
but the indisputable reason this cannot be allowed to stand is that CREATE
FUNCTION will reject such a signature and thus it'd be impossible for
extensions to create parallelizable aggregates.
The minimum fix to make the signature type-safe is to add a second, dummy
argument of type INTERNAL. But to lock it down a bit more and make misuse
of INTERNAL-accepting functions less likely, let's get rid of the ability
to specify a "serialtype" for an aggregate and just say that the only
useful serialtype is BYTEA --- which, in practice, is the only interesting
value anyway, due to the usefulness of the send/recv infrastructure for
this purpose. That means we only have to allow "serialize(internal)
returns bytea" and "deserialize(bytea, internal) returns internal" as
the signatures for these support functions.

This corrects an issue where CREATE ACCESS METHOD commands were being

into psql/common.c where I got the macro from in the first place.

Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation
and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much
unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most
common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous
enough to cause problems.

Formerly, Unix builds of pg_dump/pg_restore would trap SIGINT and similar
signals and set a flag that was tested in various data-transfer loops.
This was prone to errors of omission (cf commit 3c8aa6654); and even if
the client-side response was prompt, we did nothing that would cause
long-running SQL commands (e.g. CREATE INDEX) to terminate early.
Also, the master process would effectively do nothing at all upon receipt
of SIGINT; the only reason it seemed to work was that in typical scenarios
the signal would also be delivered to the child processes. We should
support termination when a signal is delivered only to the master process,
though.
Windows builds had no console interrupt handler, so they would just fall
over immediately at control-C, again leaving long-running SQL commands to
finish unmolested.
To fix, remove the flag-checking approach altogether. Instead, allow the
Unix signal handler to send a cancel request directly and then exit(1).
In the master process, also have it forward the signal to the children.
On Windows, add a console interrupt handler that behaves approximately
the same. The main difference is that a single execution of the Windows
handler can send all the cancel requests since all the info is available
in one process, whereas on Unix each process sends a cancel only for its
own database connection.
In passing, fix an old problem that DisconnectDatabase tends to send a
cancel request before exiting a parallel worker, even if nothing went
wrong. This is at least a waste of cycles, and could lead to unexpected
log messages, or maybe even data loss if it happened in pg_restore (though
in the current code the problem seems to affect only pg_dump). The cause
was that after a COPY step, pg_dump was leaving libpq in PGASYNC_BUSY
state, causing PQtransactionStatus() to report PQTRANS_ACTIVE. That's
normally harmless because the next PQexec() will silently clear the
PGASYNC_BUSY state; but in a parallel worker we might exit without any
additional SQL commands after a COPY step. So add an extra PQgetResult()
call after a COPY to allow libpq to return to PGASYNC_IDLE state.
This is a bug fix, IMO, so back-patch to 9.3 where parallel dump/restore
were introduced.

Parallel dump did a totally pointless query to find out the name of each
table to be dumped, which it already knows. Parallel restore runs issued
lots of redundant SET commands because _doSetFixedOutputState() was invoked
once per TOC item rather than just once at connection start. While the
extra queries are insignificant if you're dumping or restoring large
tables, it still seems worth getting rid of them.
Also, give the responsibility for selecting the right client_encoding for
a parallel dump worker to setup_connection() where it naturally belongs,
instead of having ad-hoc code for that in CloneArchive(). And fix some
minor bugs like use of strdup() where pg_strdup() would be safer.
Back-patch to 9.3, mostly to keep the branches in sync in an area that
we're still finding bugs in.

Parallel restore from directory format failed to respond to control-C
in a timely manner, because there were no checkAborting() calls in the
code path that reads data from a file and sends it to the backend.
If any worker was in the midst of restoring data for a large table,
you'd just have to wait.
This fix doesn't do anything for the problem of aborting a long-running
server-side command, but at least it fixes things for data transfers.
Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel restore was introduced.
This was effectively dead code, since the places that tested it could not
be reached after we entered the on-exit-cleanup routine that would set it.
It seems to have been a leftover from a design in which error abort would
try to send fresh commands to the workers --- a design which could never
have worked reliably, of course. Since the flag is not cross-platform, it
complicates reasoning about the code's behavior, which we could do without.
Although this is effectively just cosmetic, back-patch anyway, because
there are some actual bugs in the vicinity of this behavior.

The commentary in this file was in extremely sad shape. The author(s)
had clearly never heard of the project convention that a function header
comment should provide an API spec of some sort for that function. Much
of it was flat out wrong, too --- maybe it was accurate when written, but
if so it had not been updated to track subsequent code revisions. Rewrite
and rearrange to try to bring it up to speed, and annotate some of the
places where more work is needed. (I've refrained from actually fixing
anything of substance ... yet.)
Also, rename a couple of functions for more clarity as to what they do,
do some very minor code rearrangement, remove some pointless Asserts,
fix an incorrect Assert in readMessageFromPipe, and add a missing socket
close in one error exit from pgpipe(). The last would be a bug if we
tried to continue after pgpipe() failure, but since we don't, it's just
cosmetic at present.

Since we start the worker threads with _beginthreadex(), we should use
_endthreadex() to terminate them. We got this right in the normal-exit
code path, but not so much during an error exit from a worker.
In addition, be sure to apply CloseHandle to the thread handle after
each thread exits.
It's not clear that these oversights cause any user-visible problems,
since the pg_dump run is about to terminate anyway. Still, it's clearly
better to follow Microsoft's API specifications than ignore them.
Also a few cosmetic cleanups in WaitForTerminatingWorkers(), including
being a bit less random about where to cast between uintptr_t and HANDLE,
and being sure to clear the worker identity field for each dead worker
(not that false matches should be possible later, but let's be careful).

Getting a synchronized snapshot is not supported on a hot standby node,
and is by default taken when using -j with multiple sessions. Trying to
do so still failed, but with a server error that would also go in the
log. Instead, proprely detect this case and give a better error message.
For some reason the code to emit a warning and switch to uncompressed
output was placed down in the guts of pg_backup_archiver.c. This is
definitely too late in the case of parallel operation (and I rather
wonder if it wasn't too late for other purposes as well). Put it in
pg_dump.c's option-processing logic, which seems a much saner place.
Also, the default behavior with custom or directory output format was
to emit the warning telling you the output would be uncompressed. This
seems unhelpful, so silence that case.

Report: <20160526.185551.242041780.horiguchi.kyotaro@lab.ntt.co.jp>
The Windows coding of ShutdownWorkersHard() thought that setting termEvent
was sufficient to make workers exit after an error. But that only helps
if a worker is busy and passes through checkAborting(). An idle worker
will just sit, resulting in pg_dump failing to exit until the user gives up
and hits control-C. We should close the write end of the command pipe
so that idle workers will see socket EOF and exit, as the Unix coding was
already doing.
Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel pg_dump was introduced.
Kyotaro Horiguchi
In the original design for parallel dump, worker processes reported errors
by sending them up to the master process, which would print the messages.
This is unworkably fragile for a couple of reasons: it risks deadlock if a
worker sends an error at an unexpected time, and if the master has already
died for some reason, the user will never get to see the error at all.
Revert that idea and go back to just always printing messages to stderr.
This approach means that if all the workers fail for similar reasons (eg,
bad password or server shutdown), the user will see N copies of that
message, not only one as before. While that's slightly annoying, it's
certainly better than not seeing any message; not to mention that we
shouldn't assume that only the first failure is interesting.
An additional problem in the same area was that the master failed to
disable SIGPIPE (at least until much too late), which meant that sending a
command to an already-dead worker would cause the master to crash silently.
That was bad enough in itself but was made worse by the total reliance on
the master to print errors: even if the worker had reported an error, you
would probably not see it, depending on timing. Instead disable SIGPIPE
right after we've forked the workers, before attempting to send them
anything.
Additionally, the master relies on seeing socket EOF to realize that a
worker has exited prematurely --- but on Windows, there would be no EOF
since the socket is attached to the process that includes both the master
and worker threads, so it remains open. Make archive_close_connection()
close the worker end of the sockets so that this acts more like the Unix
case. It's not perfect, because if a worker thread exits without going
through exit_nicely() the closures won't happen; but that's not really
supposed to happen.
This has been wrong all along, so back-patch to 9.3 where parallel dump
was introduced.

This was overlooked in commit 473b93287, which introduced DROP ACCESS

that other initdb-created objects are pinned.
I chose to bump catversion for this fix. That's not absolutely necessary
perhaps, but it will ensure that no 9.6 production systems are missing
the pin entries.
Use disallowed instead of reserved, cannot instead of can not, and
double quotes instead of single quotes.
Also add a test to cover the bug which started this discussion.
Per discussion with Tom.
It emerges that some Perl versions before 5.8.9 have a bug with regexps
that use the /m flag and contain "$". This is the reason why jacana
is still failing on HEAD, and I was able to duplicate the failure on
prairiedog's host. There's no real need for "$" in these patterns,
since they are already matching through the statement-terminating
semicolons (or matching an explicit \n in some cases). So just
remove it.
Note: the reason jacana hasn't actually reported any failures in the
last little while is that the way the pg_dump TAP tests are set up, any
failure of this sort results in echoing the entire pg_dump dump output
to stderr. Since there were about a hundred such failures, that resulted
in a 30MB log file which choked the buildfarm upload script. There is
room for improvement here :-(.
Per off-list discussion with Andrew and Stephen.
This patch essentially reverts commit 4c6780fd17, in favor of a much
simpler solution for the case where the new cluster would choose to create
a TOAST table but the old cluster doesn't have one: just don't create a
TOAST table.
The existing code failed in at least two different ways if the situation
arose: (1) ALTER TABLE RESET didn't grab an exclusive lock, so that the
lock sanity check in create_toast_table failed; (2) pg_upgrade did not
provide a pg_type OID for the new toast table, so that the crosscheck in
TypeCreate failed. While both these problems were introduced by later
patches, they show that the hack being used to cause TOAST table creation
is overwhelmingly fragile (and untested). I also note that before the
TypeCreate crosscheck was added, the code would have resulted in assigning
an indeterminate pg_type OID to the toast table, possibly causing a later
OID conflict in that catalog; so that it didn't really work even when
committed.
If we simply don't create a TOAST table, there will only be a problem if
the code tries to store a tuple that's wider than a page, and field
compression isn't sufficient to get it under a page. Given that the TOAST
creation threshold is intended to be about a quarter of a page, it's very
hard to believe that cross-version differences in the do-we-need-a-toast-
table heuristic could result in an observable problem. So let's just
follow the old version's conclusion about whether a TOAST table is needed.
(If we ever do change needs_toast_table() so much that this conclusion
doesn't apply, we can devise a solution at that time, and hopefully do
it in a less klugy way than 4c6780fd17 did.)
Back-patch to 9.3, like the previous patch.

Buildfarm member jacana appears to have an issue with running this
test. It's not entirely clear to me why, but rather than try to
fight with it, just disable it for now.
None of the other tests try to write out from psql directly as
this test does, so it seems likely that the rest of the tests will
be fine (as they have been on numerous other systems).
We need to use a new branch due to the 9.5 addition of bypassrls
when adding in the clause to exclude pg_* roles from being dumped
by pg_dumpall.
Pointed out by Noah, patch by me.
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.
Ordinarily, pg_upgrade shouldn't have any difficulty in matching up all
the relations it sees in the old and new databases. If it does, however,
it just goes belly-up with a pretty unhelpful error message. That seemed
fine as long as we expected the case never to occur in the wild, but
Alvaro reported that it had been seen in a database whose pg_largeobject
table had somehow acquired a TOAST table. That doesn't quite seem like
a case that pg_upgrade actually needs to handle, but it would be good if
the report were more diagnosable. Hence, extend the logic to print out
as much information as we can about the mismatch(es) before we quit.
In passing, improve the readability of get_rel_infos()'s data collection
query, which had suffered seriously from lets-not-bother-to-update-comments
syndrome, and generally was unnecessarily disrespectful to readers.
It could be argued that this is a bug fix, but given that we have so few
reports, I don't feel a need to back-patch; at least not before this has
baked awhile in HEAD.
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.
Reviewing the cases where we need to LOCK a given table during a dump,
it was pointed out by Tom that we really don't need to LOCK a table if
we are only looking to dump the ACL for it, or certain other
components. After reviewing the queries run for all of the component
pieces, a list of components were determined to not require LOCK'ing
of the table.
This implements a check to avoid LOCK'ing those tables.
Initial complaint from Rushabh Lathia, discussed with Robert and Tom,
the patch is mine.
Do not try to dump objects which do not have ACLs when only ACLs are
being requested. This results in a significant performance improvement
as we can avoid querying for further information on these objects when
we don't need to.
When limiting the components to dump for an extension, consider what
components have been requested. Initially, we incorrectly hard-coded
the components of the extension objects to dump, which would mean that
we wouldn't dump some components even with they were asked for and in
other cases we would dump components which weren't requested.
Correct defaultACLs to use 'dump_contains' instead of 'dump'. The
defaultACL is considered a member of the namespace and should be
dumped based on the same set of components that the other objects in
the schema are, not based on what we're dumping for the namespace
itself (which might not include ACLs, if the namespace has just the
default or initial ACL).
Use DUMP_COMPONENT_ACL for from-initdb objects, to allow users to
change their ACLs, should they wish to. This just extends what we
are doing for the pg_catalog namespace to objects which are not
members of namespaces.
Due to column ACLs being treated a bit differently from other ACLs
(they are actually reset to NULL when all privileges are revoked),
adjust the query which gathers column-level ACLs to consider all of
the ACL-relevant columns.
The query to grab the function/aggregate information is now joining
to pg_init_privs, so we can simplify (and correct) the WHERE clause
used to determine if a given function's ACL has changed from the
initial ACL on the function.
Bug found by Noah, patch by me.
The previous coding always stored variable values as strings, doing
conversion on-the-fly when a numeric value was needed or a number was to be
assigned. This was a bit inefficient and risked loss of precision for
floating-point values. The precision aspect had been hacked around by
printing doubles in "%.18e" format, which is ugly and has machine-dependent
results. Instead, arrange to preserve an assigned numeric value in the
original binary numeric format, converting to string only when and if
needed. When we do need to convert a double to string, convert in "%g"
format with DBL_DIG precision, which is the standard way to do it and
produces the least surprising results in most cases.
The implementation supports storing both a string value and a numeric
value for any one variable, with lazy conversion between them. I also
arranged for lazy re-sorting of the variable array when new variables are
added. That was mainly to allow a clean refactoring of putVariable()
into two levels of subroutine, but it may allow us to save a few sorts.

Backpatch to 9.5
In commit 6f0d6a507 I added a duplicate copy of psqlscanslash's identifier
downcasing code, but actually it's not hard to split that out as a callable
subroutine and avoid the duplication.
\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.
As reported by Michael Feld, pg_upgrade'ing an installation having
extensions with operator families that contain just a single operator class
failed to reproduce the extension membership of those operator families.
This caused no immediate ill effects, but would create problems when later
trying to do a plain dump and restore, because the seemingly-not-part-of-
the-extension operator families would appear separately in the pg_dump
output, and then would conflict with the families created by loading the
extension. This has been broken ever since extensions were introduced,
and many of the standard contrib extensions are affected, so it's a bit
astonishing nobody complained before.
The cause of the problem is a perhaps-ill-considered decision to omit
such operator families from pg_dump's output on the grounds that the
CREATE OPERATOR CLASS commands could recreate them, and having explicit
CREATE OPERATOR FAMILY commands would impede loading the dump script into
pre-8.3 servers. Whatever the merits of that decision when 8.3 was being
written, it looks like a poor tradeoff now. We can fix the pg_upgrade
problem simply by removing that code, so that the operator families are
dumped explicitly (and then will be properly made to be part of their
extensions).
Although this fixes the behavior of future pg_upgrade runs, it does nothing
to clean up existing installations that may have improperly-linked operator
families. Given the small number of complaints to date, maybe we don't
need to worry about providing an automated solution for that; anyone who
needs to clean it up can do so with manual "ALTER EXTENSION ADD OPERATOR
FAMILY" commands, or even just ignore the duplicate-opfamily errors they
get during a pg_restore. In any case we need this fix.

Coverity complained about this code, not without reason because it was
rather messy. Adjust it to not scribble on the passed string; that adds
one malloc/free cycle per column name, which is going to be insignificant
in context. We can actually const-ify both the string argument and the
PGresult.
Daniel Verité, with some further cleanup by me
Coverity complained about this resource leak (why now, I don't know,
since it's been like that a long time). Our general policy in pg_dump
is that PQExpBuffers are worth cleaning up, so do it here too. But
don't bother with a back-patch, because it seems unlikely that very
many databases contain enough FOREIGN SERVER objects to notice.
\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.

initdb or CREATE EXTENSION.

Historically, the "dump" component of the namespace has been used
to decide if the objects inside of the namespace should be dumped
also. Given that "dump" is now a bitmask and may be partial, and
we may want to dump out all components of the namespace object but
only some of the components of objects contained in the namespace,
create a "dump_contains" bitmask which will represent what components
of the objects inside of a namespace should be dumped out.
No behavior change here, but in preparation for a change where we
will dump out just the ACLs of objects in pg_catalog, but we might
not dump out the ACL of the pg_catalog namespace itself (for instance,
when it hasn't been changed from the value set at initdb time).

pg_dump has historically used a simple boolean 'dump' value to indicate
if a given object should be included in the dump or not. Instead, use
a bitmap which breaks down the components of an object into their

requested.
This does not include any behavioral change, but is in preperation for
the change to dump out just ACLs for objects in pg_catalog.

changed from what they were set to at initdb/extension-creation

Some object types have names that are only unique for one table. But
for those we generally didn't put the table name into the dump TOC tag.
So it was impossible to identify these objects if the same name was used
for multiple tables. This affects policies, column defaults,
constraints, triggers, and rules.
Fix by adding the table name to the TOC tag, so that it now reads
"$schema $table $object".

\gexec executes the just-entered query, like \g, but instead of printing
the results it takes each field as a SQL command to send to the server.
Computing a series of queries to be executed is a fairly common thing,
but up to now you always had to resort to kluges like writing the queries
to a file and then inputting the file. Now it can be done with no
intermediate step.
The implementation is fairly straightforward except for its interaction
with FETCH_COUNT. ExecQueryUsingCursor isn't capable of being called
recursively, and even if it were, its need to create a transaction
block interferes unpleasantly with the desired behavior of \gexec after
a failure of a generated query (i.e., that it can continue). Therefore,
disable use of ExecQueryUsingCursor when doing the master \gexec query.
We can still apply it to individual generated queries, however, and there
might be some value in doing so.
While testing this feature's interaction with single-step mode, I (tgl) was
led to conclude that SendQuery needs to recognize SIGINT (cancel_pressed)
as a negative response to the single-step prompt. Perhaps that's a
back-patchable bug fix, but for now I just included it here.

Often, upon getting an unexpected error in psql, one's first wish is that
the verbosity setting had been higher; for example, to be able to see the
schema-name field or the server code location info. Up to now the only way
has been to adjust the VERBOSITY variable and repeat the failing query.
That's a pain, and it doesn't work if the error isn't reproducible.
This commit adds a psql feature that redisplays the most recent server
error at full verbosity, without needing to make any variable changes or
re-execute the failed command. We just need to hang onto the latest error
PGresult in case the user executes \errverbose, and then apply libpq's
new PQresultVerboseErrorMessage() function to it. This will consume
some trivial amount of psql memory, but otherwise the cost when the
feature isn't used should be negligible.

This interface is designed to give an access to WAL for extensions which
could implement new access method, for example. Previously it was
impossible because restoring from custom WAL would need to access system

This refines the previous weight range and allows a script to be "turned
off" by passing a zero weight, which is useful when scripting multiple
pgbench runs.
I did not apply the suggested warning when a script uses zero weight; we
use the principle elsewhere that if there's nothing to be done, do
nothing quietly.

You can now do the same thing via \set using the appropriate function,
either random(), random_gaussian(), or random_exponential(), depending
on the desired distribution. This is not backward-compatible, but per

forever.

INT64_MIN/MAX should be spelled PG_INT64_MIN/MAX, per well established
convention in our sources. Less obviously, a symbol named DOUBLE causes
problems on Windows builds, so rename that to DOUBLE_CONST; and rename
INTEGER to INTEGER_CONST for consistency.
Also, get rid of incorrect/obsolete hand-munging of yycolumn, and fix
the grammar for float constants to handle expected cases such as ".1".
First two items by Michael Paquier, second two by me.
The new functions are pi(), random(), random_exponential(),
random_gaussian(), and sqrt(). I was worried that this would be
slower than before, but, if anything, it actually turns out to be
slightly faster, because we now express the built-in pgbench scripts
using fewer lines; each \setrandom can be merged into a subsequent
\set.

This brings us a bit closer to matching upstream, but since it affects
files outside src/timezone/, we might choose not to back-patch it.
Hence keep it separate from the main update patch.
Previously pg_rewind did not fsync any files. That's problematic, given
that the target directory is modified. If the database was started
afterwards, 2ce439f33 luckily already caused the data directory to be
synced to disk at postmaster startup; reducing the scope of the problem.
To fix, use initdb -S, at the end of the pg_rewind run. It doesn't seem
worthwhile to duplicate the code into pg_rewind, and initdb -S is
already used that way by pg_upgrade.

Some of the non-MSVC Windows buildfarm members seem to need this to avoid
getting "undefined symbol" errors on libpgfeutils' references to libpq.
I could understand that if libpq were a static library, but surely it is
not? Oh well, at least the extra reference is no more harmful than it is
for libpgcommon or libpgport.
This completes (at least for now) the project of getting rid of ad-hoc
linkages among the src/bin/ subdirectories. Everything they share is now
in src/fe_utils/ and is included from a static library at link time.
A side benefit is that we can restore the FLEX_NO_BACKUP check for
psqlscanslash.l. We might need to think of another way to do that check
if we ever need to build two lexers with that property in the same source
directory, but there's no foreseeable reason to need that.
Per discussion, we want to create a static library and put the stuff into
it that until now has been shared across src/bin/ directories by ad-hoc
methods like symlinking a source file. This commit creates the library and
populates it with a couple of files that contain the widely-useful portions
of pg_dump's dumputils.c file. dumputils.c survives, because it has some
stuff that didn't seem appropriate for fe_utils, but it's significantly
smaller and is no longer referenced from any other directory.
Follow-on patches will move more stuff into fe_utils.
The Mkvcbuild.pm hacking here is just a best guess; we'll see how the
buildfarm likes it.
This enables external code to create access methods. This is useful so
that extensions can add their own access methods which can be formally
tracked for dependencies, so that DROP operates correctly. Also, having
explicit support makes pg_dump work correctly.
Currently only index AMs are supported, but we expect different types to
be added in the future.

Now that we have src/common/ for code shared between frontend and backend,
we can get rid of (most of) the klugy ways that the keyword table and
keyword lookup code were formerly shared between different uses.
This is a first step towards a more general plan of getting rid of
special-purpose kluges for sharing code in src/bin/.
I chose to merge kwlookup.c back into keywords.c, as it once was, and
always has been so far as keywords.h is concerned. We could have
kept them separate, but there is noplace that uses ScanKeywordLookup
without also wanting access to the backend's keyword list, so there
seems little point.
ecpg is still a bit weird, but at least now the trickiness is documented.
I think that the MSVC build script should require no adjustments beyond
what's done here ... but we'll soon find out.
Instead of just "2" seconds, allow eg. "2.5" seconds. Per request
from Alvaro Herrera. No docs change since the docs didn't say you
couldn't do this already.
Include the \pset title string if there is one, and shorten the prefab
part of the header to be "timestamp (every Ns)". Per suggestion by
David Johnston.

The point of this change is to use %pure-parser in pgbench's exprparse.y.
The immediate reason is that it turns out very ancient versions of bison
have a bug with the combination of a reentrant lexer and non-reentrant
parser. We could consider dropping support for such ancient bisons; but
considering that we might well need exprparse.y to be reentrant some day,
it seems better to make it so right now than to move the portability
goalposts. (AFAICT there's no particular performance consequence to this
change, either, so there's no good reason not to do it.)
Now, %pure-parser assumes that the called lexer is built with %option
bison-bridge. Because we're assuming bitwise compatibility of yyscan_t
(yyguts_t) data structures among all the psql/pgbench lexers, that
requirement propagates back to psql's lexers as well. But it's just a
few lines of change on that side too; and if psqlscan.l is to set the
baseline for a possibly-large family of lexers, it should err on the
side of including not omitting useful features.
To allow multiline SQL commands in scripts, adopt the same rules psql uses
to decide what is the end of a SQL command, to wit, an unquoted semicolon
not encased in parentheses. Do this by importing the same flex lexer that
psql uses, since coping with stuff like dollar-quoted literals is hard to
get right without going the full nine yards.
This makes use of the infrastructure added in commit 0ea9efbe9e to
support independently-written flex lexers scanning the same PsqlScanState
input-buffer data structure. Since that infrastructure isn't very
friendly to ad-hoc parsing code such as strtok(), improve exprscan.l
so that it can parse either whitespace-separated words or expression
tokens, on demand, and rewrite pgbench.c's backslash-command parsing
code to always use the lexer to fetch tokens.
It's still the case that pgbench backslash commands extend to the end
of the line, no more and no less. That could be changed in a fairly
localized way now, and there was some interest in doing so, but it
seems like material for a separate patch.
In passing, make some marginal cleanups in syntax error reporting,
const-ify a few data structures that could use it, and run some of
this code through pgindent.
I can't tell whether the MSVC build scripts need to be taught explicitly
about the changes here or not, but the buildfarm will soon tell us.
Kyotaro Horiguchi and Tom Lane
This is a necessary preliminary step for making it play with psqlscan.l
given the way I set up the lexer input-buffer sharing mechanism in commit
0ea9efbe9e.
I've not tried to make it *actually* reentrant; there's still some static
variables laying about. But flex thinks it's reentrant, and that's what
counts.
In support of that, fix exprparse.y to pass through the yyscan_t from the
caller. Also do some minor code beautification, like not casting away
const.
Make some minor formatting adjustments to make it easier to diff these
files and see that they indeed implement the same flex rules (at least
to the extent that we want them to be the same).
(Someday it'd be nice to make ecpg's pgc.l more easily diff'able too,
but today is not that day.)
Also run relevant parts of these files and psqlscanslash.l through
pgindent.
No actual behavioral changes here, just obsessive neatnik-ism.
Previously, all scripts had the same probability of being chosen when
multiple of them were specified via -b, -f, -N, -S. With this commit,
-b and -f now search for an "@" in the script name and use the integer
found after it as the drawing probability for that script.
(One disadvantage is that if you have script whose names contain @, you
are now forced to specify "@1" at the end; otherwise the name's @ is
confused with a weight separator. We don't expect many pgbench script
with @ in their names in the wild, so this shouldn't be too serious a
problem.)
While at it, rework the interface between addScript, process_file,
process_builtin, and findBuiltin. It had gotten a bit out of hand with
recent commits.

Buildfarm results show that the ability to attach pg_attribute_printf
decoration to a function pointer appeared somewhere between gcc 2.95.3
and gcc 4.0.1. Guess that it was there in 4.0.
The existing infrastructure for FLEX_NO_BACKUP doesn't work reliably
when two lexers are built in parallel in the same directory. We can
probably fix that, but as a short-term workaround, just don't make
the check for psqlscanslash.l.
Per buildfarm.
This gets us to a point where psqlscan.l can be used by other frontend
programs for the same purpose psql uses it for, ie to detect when it's
collected a complete SQL command from input that is divided across
line boundaries. Moreover, other programs can supply their own lexers
for backslash commands of their own choosing. A follow-on patch will
use this in pgbench.
The end result here is roughly the same as in Kyotaro Horiguchi's
0001-Make-SQL-parser-part-of-psqlscan-independent-from-ps.patch, although
the details of the method for switching between lexers are quite different.
Basically, in this patch we share the entire PsqlScanState, YY_BUFFER_STATE
stack, *and* yyscan_t between different lexers. The only thing we need
to do to switch to a different lexer is to make sure the start_state is
valid for the new lexer. This works because flex doesn't keep any other
persistent state that depends on the specific lexing tables generated for
a particular .l file. (We are assuming that both lexers are built with
the same flex version, or at least versions that are compatible with
respect to the contents of yyscan_t; but that doesn't seem likely to
be a big problem in practice, considering how slowly flex changes.)
Aside from being more efficient than Horiguchi-san's original solution,
this avoids possible corner-case changes in semantics: the original code
was capable of popping the input buffer stack while still staying in
backslash-related parsing states. I'm not sure that that equates to any
useful user-visible behaviors, but I'm not sure it doesn't either, so
I'm loath to assume that we only need to consider the topmost buffer when
parsing a backslash command.
I've attempted to update the MSVC build scripts for the added .l file,
but will rely on the buildfarm to see if I missed anything.
Kyotaro Horiguchi and Tom Lane
Change psqlscan.l to specify '%option reentrant', adjust internal APIs
to match, and get rid of its internal static variables. While this is
good cleanup in an abstract sense, the reason to do it right now is that
it seems the only practical way to support use of separate flex lexers
with common PsqlScanState infrastructure. If we build two non-reentrant
lexers then we are going to have problems with dangling buffer pointers
in whichever lexer isn't active when we transition from one buffer to
another, as well as curious side-effects if we try to share any code
between the files. (Horiguchi-san had a different solution to that in his
pending patch, but I find it ugly and probably broken for corner cases.)
Depending on which version of flex you're using, this may result in getting
a "warning: unused variable 'yyg'" warning from psqlscan, similar to the
one you'd have seen for a long time in backend/parser/scan.l. I put a
local -Wno-error into CFLAGS for the file, for the convenience of those
who compile with -Werror.
Also, stop compiling psqlscan as part of mainloop.c, and make it a
standalone build target instead. This is a lot cleaner than before, though
it doesn't really change much in practice as of this commit. (I'm not sure
whether the MSVC build scripts will need some help with this part, but the
buildfarm will soon tell us.)
The distinction between "archive" and "hot_standby" existed only because
at the time "hot_standby" was added, there was some uncertainty about
stability. This is now a long time ago. We would like to move forward
with simplifying the replication configuration, but this distinction is
in the way, because a primary server cannot tell (without asking a
standby or predicting the future) which one of these would be the
appropriate level.
Pick a new name for the combined setting to make it clearer that it
covers all (non-logical) backup and replication uses. The old values
are still accepted but are converted internally.

Remove assorted external references from psqlscan.l in preparation for
making it usable by other frontend programs. This mostly involves
getting rid of direct calls to psql_error() and GetVariable() in favor
of introducing a callback-functions struct to encapsulate variable
fetching and error printing. In addition, pass the current encoding
and standard-strings status as additional parameters to psql_scan_setup
instead of looking directly at "pset" or calling additional functions.
I did not bother to change some references to psql_error that are in
functions that will soon migrate to a psql-specific backslash-command
lexer. Other than that, this version of psqlscan.l is capable of
compiling standalone. It still depends on assorted src/common functions
as well as some encoding-related libpq functions, but we expect that
all programs using it will be happy with those dependencies.

Random .h files have no business including postgres-fe.h (or postgres.h).
If that wasn't the first #include done by the calling .c file, it's the
.c file that's broken. Noted while prepping Kyotaro Horiguchi's psql
lexer refactoring patch.
This didn't work because when we dropped and re-established a database
connection, we did not bother to reset session-specific state such as
the statements-are-prepared flags.
The st->prepared[] array certainly needs to be flushed, and I cleared a
couple of other fields as well that couldn't possibly retain meaningful
state for a new connection.
In passing, fix some bogus comments and strange field order choices.
