Tom Lane 6fc6686b48 Clean up parsing of CREATE TRIGGER's argument list.
Use ColLabel in place of ColId, so that reserved words are accepted as if
they were not reserved.  Also, remove BCONST and XCONST, which were never
documented as allowed.  Allowing those exposes to users an implementation
detail, namely the format in which the lexer outputs such constants, that
seems unwise to expose.

No documentation change needed, since this just makes the code act more
like you'd expect from reading the CREATE TRIGGER man page.

Per complaint from Szymon Guz and subsequent discussion.

Heikki Linnakangas a0c8514149 Shut down WAL receiver if it's still running at end of recovery. We used to
just check that it's not running and PANIC if it was, but that can rightfully
happen if recovery stops at recovery target.

Tom Lane 2e82d0b396 Prevent datebsearch() from crashing on base == NULL && nel == 0.
Normally nel == 0 works okay because the initial value of "last" will be
less than "base"; but if "base" is zero then the calculation wraps around
and we have a very large (unsigned) value for "last", so that the loop can
be entered and we get a SIGSEGV on a bogus pointer.

This is certainly the proximate cause of the recent reports of Windows
builds crashing on 'infinity'::timestamp --- evidently, they're either not
setting an active timezonetktbl, or setting an empty one.  It's not yet
clear to me why it's only happening on Windows and not happening on any
buildfarm member.  But even if that's due to some bug elsewhere, it seems
wise for this function to not choke on the powerup values of
timezonetktbl/sztimezonetktbl.

I also changed the copy of this code in ecpglib, although I am not sure
whether it's exposed to a similar hazard.

Per report and stack trace from Richard Broersma.

Tom Lane 1453cd8f82 Adjust documentation with respect to "unknown" timezone setting.
The recent cleanup of GUC assign hooks got rid of the kludge of using
"unknown" as a magic value for timezone and log_timezone.  But I forgot
to update the documentation to match, as noted by Martin Pitt.

Tom Lane 853c1750f9 Be more wary in initdb's creation of platform-dependent collations.
Discard any collation aliases that match the built-in pg_collation entries
(ie, "default", "C", "POSIX").  Such aliases would be refused by a CREATE
COLLATION command, but since initdb is injecting them via a simple INSERT,
it has to make the corresponding check for itself.  Per Martin Pitt's
report of funny behavior in a machine that had a bogus "C.UTF-8" locale.

Also, use E'' syntax for the output of escape_quotes, as per its header
comment.

Tom Lane 7886cc73ad Remove "make check" target in src/test/isolation/Makefile.
This doesn't work as expected because the isolationtester program requires
libpq to already be installed.  While it works when you've already installed
libpq, having to already have done "make install" defeats most of the point
of a check with a temp installation.  And there are weird corner cases if
the dynamic linker picks up an old libpq.so from system library directories.
Remove the target (or more precisely, make it print a helpful message) so
people don't expect the case to work.

Tom Lane d2088ae949 Move RegisterPredicateLockingXid() call to a safer place.
The SSI patch inserted a call of RegisterPredicateLockingXid into
GetNewTransactionId, which was a bad idea on a couple of grounds.  First,
it's not necessary to hold XidGenLock while manipulating that shared
memory, and doing so is bad because XidGenLock is a high-contention lock
that should be held for as short a time as possible.  (Not to mention that
it adds an entirely unnecessary deadlock hazard, since we must take
SerializableXactHashLock as well.)  Second, the specific place where it was
put was between extending CLOG and advancing nextXid, which could result in
unpleasant behavior in case of a failure there.  Pull the call out to
AssignTransactionId, which is much safer and arguably better from a
modularity standpoint too.

There is more work to do to clean up the failure-before-advancing-nextXid
issue, but that is a separate change that will need to be back-patched.
So for the moment I just want to make GetNewTransactionId look the same as
it did in prior versions.

Tom Lane 12b7164578 Remove precedence labeling of keywords TRUE, FALSE, UNKNOWN, and ZONE.
These were labeled with precedences just to avoid attaching explicit
precedences to the productions in which they were the last terminal symbol.
Since a terminal symbol precedence marking can affect many other things
too, it seems like better practice to attach precedence labels to the
productions, and not mark the terminal symbols.

Ideally we'd also remove the precedence attached to NULL_P, but it turns
out that we are actually depending on that having a precedence higher than
POSTFIXOP, else we get a shift/reduce conflict for postfix operators in
b_expr.  (Which more or less proves my point about these markings having a
high risk of unexpected consequences.)  For the moment, move NULL_P into
the set of keywords grouped with IDENT, so that at least it will act
similarly to non-keywords; and document the interaction.

Tom Lane dcc685debb Fix pull_up_sublinks' failure to handle nested pull-up opportunities.
After finding an EXISTS or ANY sub-select that can be converted to a
semi-join or anti-join, we should recurse into the body of the sub-select.
This allows cases such as EXISTS-within-EXISTS to be optimized properly.
The original coding would leave the lower sub-select as a SubLink, which
is no better and often worse than what we can do with a join.  Per example
from Wayne Conrad.

Back-patch to 8.4.  There is a related issue in older versions' handling
of pull_up_IN_clauses, but they're lame enough anyway about the whole area
that it seems not worth the extra work to try to fix.
2011-05-02 15:57:28 -04:00
Tom Lane 6755558b92 Improve aset.c's space management in contexts with small maxBlockSize.
The previous coding would allow requests up to half of maxBlockSize to be
treated as "chunks", but when that actually did happen, we'd waste nearly
half of the space in the malloc block containing the chunk, if no smaller
requests came along to fill it.  Avoid this scenario by limiting the
maximum size of a chunk to 1/8th maxBlockSize, so that we can waste no more
than 1/8th of the allocated space.  This will not change the behavior at
all for the default context size parameters (with large maxBlockSize),
but it will change the behavior when using ALLOCSET_SMALL_MAXSIZE.

In particular, there's no longer a need for spell.c to be overly concerned
about the request size parameters it uses, so remove a rather unhelpful
comment about that.

Peter Eisentraut 5c436a79e0 Catch errors in for loop in makefile

2011-05-02 01:05:08 +03:00
Peter Eisentraut b106195b17 Rewrite installation makefile rules without for loops
install-sh can install multiple files at once, so for loops are not
necessary.  This was already changed for the rest of the code some
time ago, but pgxs.mk was apparently forgotten, and the obsolete
coding style has now been copied to the PLs as well.

This also fixes the problem that the for loops in question did not
catch errors.

Tom Lane 83b7584944 Make CLUSTER lock the old table's toast table before copying data.
We must lock out autovacuuming of the old toast table before computing the
OldestXmin horizon we will use.  Otherwise, autovacuum could start on the
toast table later, compute a later OldestXmin horizon, and remove as DEAD
toast tuples that we still need (because we think their parent tuples are
only RECENTLY_DEAD).  Per further thought about bug #5998.

Bruce Momjian 5a71b64130 Lowercase status labels in pg_stat_replication view. 2011-04-29 22:20:43 -04:00
Tom Lane 44e4bbf75d Remove special case for xmin == xmax in HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum().
VACUUM was willing to remove a committed-dead tuple immediately if it was
deleted by the same transaction that inserted it.  The idea is that such a
tuple could never have been visible to any other transaction, so we don't
need to keep it around to satisfy MVCC snapshots.  However, there was
already an exception for tuples that are part of an update chain, and this
exception created a problem: we might remove TOAST tuples (which are never
part of an update chain) while their parent tuple stayed around (if it was
part of an update chain).  This didn't pose a problem for most things,
since the parent tuple is indeed dead: no snapshot will ever consider it
visible.  But MVCC-safe CLUSTER had a problem, since it will try to copy
RECENTLY_DEAD tuples to the new table.  It then has to copy their TOAST
data too, and would fail if VACUUM had already removed the toast tuples.

Easiest fix is to get rid of the special case for xmin == xmax.  This may
delay reclaiming dead space for a little bit in some cases, but it's by far
the most reliable way to fix the issue.

Per bug #5998 from Mark Reid.  Back-patch to 8.3, which is the oldest
version with MVCC-safe CLUSTER.

Tom Lane fd2e2d09aa Rewrite pg_size_pretty() to avoid compiler bug.
Convert it to use successive shifts right instead of increasing a divisor.
This is probably a tad more efficient than the original coding, and it's
nicer-looking than the previous patch because we don't need a special case
to avoid overflow in the last branch.  But the real reason to do it is to
avoid a Solaris compiler bug, as per results from buildfarm member moa.

Andrew Dunstan c49e4ae1f8 Use non-literal format for possibly non-standard strftime formats.
Per recent -hackers discussion. The formats in question are %G and %V,

false error messages from modern versions of gcc arising from  %m and %ll{d,u}
formats.

Tom Lane 18c0b4eccd Fix array- and path-creating functions to ensure padding bytes are zeroes.
Per recent discussion, it's important for all computed datums (not only the
results of input functions) to not contain any ill-defined (uninitialized)
bits.  Failing to ensure that can result in equal() reporting that
semantically indistinguishable Consts are not equal, which in turn leads to
bizarre and undesirable planner behavior, such as in a recent example from
David Johnston.  We might eventually try to fix this in a general manner by
allowing datatypes to define identity-testing functions, but for now the
path of least resistance is to expect datatypes to force all unused bits
into consistent states.

Per some testing by Noah Misch, array and path functions seem to be the
only ones presenting risks at the moment, so I looked through all the
functions in adt/array*.c and geo_ops.c and fixed them as necessary.  In
the array functions, the easiest/safest fix is to allocate result arrays
with palloc0 instead of palloc.  Possibly in future someone will want to
look into whether we can just zero the padding bytes, but that looks too
complex for a back-patchable fix.  In the path functions, we already had a
precedent in path_in for just zeroing the one known pad field, so duplicate
that code as needed.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

Andrew Dunstan 52d01c2f52 Force use of "%I64d" format for 64 bit ints on MinGW.

Tom Lane 71e7083532 Rephrase some not-supported error messages in pg_hba.conf processing.
In a couple of places we said "not supported on this platform" for cases
that aren't really platform-specific, but could depend on configuration
options such as --with-openssl.  Use "not supported by this build" instead,
as that doesn't convey the impression that you can't fix it without moving
to another OS; that's also more consistent with the wording used for an
identical error case in guc.c.

No back-patch, as the clarity gain is small enough to not be worth
burdening translators with back-branch changes.
2011-04-26 15:56:28 -04:00
Tom Lane c464a0657b Complain if pg_hba.conf contains "hostssl" but SSL is disabled.
Most commenters agreed that this is more friendly than silently failing
to match the line during actual connection attempts.  Also, this will
prevent corner cases that might arise when trying to handle such a line
when the SSL code isn't turned on.  An example is that specifying
clientcert=1 in such a line would formerly result in a completely
misleading complaint that root.crt wasn't present, as seen in a recent
report from Marc-Andre Laverdiere.  While we could have instead fixed
that specific behavior, it seems likely that we'd have a continuing stream
of such bizarre behaviors if we keep on allowing hostssl lines when SSL is
disabled.

Back-patch to 8.4, where clientcert was introduced.  Earlier versions don't
have this specific issue, and the code is enough different to make this
patch not applicable without more work than it seems worth.

Tom Lane 6dab96abaa Remove incorrect HINT for use of ALTER FOREIGN TABLE on the wrong relkind.

Robert Haas 68ef051f5c Refactor broken CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS support.
Per bug #5988, reported by Marko Tiikkaja, and further analyzed by Tom
Lane, the previous coding was broken in several respects: even if the
target table already existed, a subsequent CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
might try to add additional constraints or sequences-for-serial
specified in the new CREATE TABLE statement.

In passing, this also fixes a minor information leak: it's no longer
possible to figure out whether a schema to which you don't have CREATE
access contains a sequence named like "x_y_seq" by attempting to create a
table in that schema called "x" with a serial column called "y".

Some more refactoring of this code in the future might be warranted,
but that will need to wait for a later major release.

Robert Haas be90032e0d Remove partial and undocumented GRANT .. FOREIGN TABLE support.
Instead, foreign tables are treated just like views: permissions can
be granted using GRANT privilege ON [TABLE] foreign_table_name TO role,
and revoked similarly.  GRANT/REVOKE .. FOREIGN TABLE is no longer
supported, just as we don't support GRANT/REVOKE .. VIEW.  The set of
accepted permissions for foreign tables is now identical to the set for
regular tables, and views.

Tom Lane af0f20092c Fix pg_size_pretty() to avoid overflow for inputs close to INT64_MAX.
The expression that tried to round the value to the nearest TB could
overflow, leading to bogus output as reported in bug #5993 from Nicola
Cossu.  This isn't likely to ever happen in the intended usage of the
function (if it could, we'd be needing to use a wider datatype instead);

Tom Lane e6a30a8c3c Improve cost estimation for aggregates and window functions.
The previous coding failed to account properly for the costs of evaluating
the input expressions of aggregates and window functions, as seen in a
recent gripe from Claudio Freire.  (I said at the time that it wasn't
counting these costs at all; but on closer inspection, it was effectively
charging these costs once per output tuple.  That is completely wrong for
aggregates, and not exactly right for window functions either.)

There was also a hard-wired assumption that aggregates and window functions
had procost 1.0, which is now fixed to respect the actual cataloged costs.

The costing of WindowAgg is still pretty bogus, since it doesn't try to
estimate the effects of spilling data to disk, but that seems like a
separate issue.

Teach the program and script to deal with OID-array referencing columns,

found in template1 because the relevant catalogs are entirely empty.

Tom Lane 1abd146ddd Adjust comments about collate.linux.utf8 regression test.
This test should now work in any database with UTF8 encoding, regardless
of the database's default locale.  The former restriction was really
"doesn't work if default locale is C", and that was because of not handling
mbstowcs/wcstombs correctly.
2011-04-23 12:51:47 -04:00
Tom Lane 2ab0796d7a Fix char2wchar/wchar2char to support collations properly.
These functions should take a pg_locale_t, not a collation OID, and should
call mbstowcs_l/wcstombs_l where available.  Where those functions are not
available, temporarily select the correct locale with uselocale().

This change removes the bogus assumption that all locales selectable in
a given database have the same wide-character conversion method; in
particular, the collate.linux.utf8 regression test now passes with
LC_CTYPE=C, so long as the database encoding is UTF8.

I decided to move the char2wchar/wchar2char functions out of mbutils.c and
into pg_locale.c, because they work on wchar_t not pg_wchar_t and thus
don't really belong with the mbutils.c functions.  Keeping them where they
were would have required importing pg_locale_t into pg_wchar.h somehow,
which did not seem like a good plan.

Tom Lane ae20bf1740 Make GIN and GIST pass the index collation to all their support functions.
Experimentation with contrib/btree_gist shows that the majority of the GIST

This syntax allows a standalone table to be made into a typed table,

change is that we need it to make pg_upgrade work with typed tables.

Tom Lane 520bcd9c9b Fix bugs in indexing of in-doubt HOT-updated tuples.
If we find a DELETE_IN_PROGRESS HOT-updated tuple, it is impossible to know
whether to index it or not except by waiting to see if the deleting
transaction commits.  If it doesn't, the tuple might again be LIVE, meaning
we have to index it.  So wait and recheck in that case.

Also, we must not rely on ii_BrokenHotChain to decide that it's possible to
omit tuples from the index.  That could result in omitting tuples that we
need, particularly in view of yesterday's fixes to not necessarily set
indcheckxmin (but it's broken even without that, as per my analysis today).
Since this is just an extremely marginal performance optimization, dropping
the test shouldn't hurt.

These cases are only expected to happen in system catalogs (they're
possible there due to early release of RowExclusiveLock in most
catalog-update code paths).  Since reindexing of a system catalog isn't a
particularly performance-critical operation anyway, there's no real need to
be concerned about possible performance degradation from these changes.

The worst aspects of this bug were introduced in 9.0 --- 8.x will always
wait out a DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuple.  But I think dropping index entries
on the strength of ii_BrokenHotChain is dangerous even without that, so
back-patch removal of that optimization to 8.3 and 8.4.

Tom Lane 9ad7e15507 Set indcheckxmin true when REINDEX fixes an invalid or not-ready index.
Per comment from Greg Stark, it's less clear that HOT chains don't conflict
with the index than it would be for a valid index.  So, let's preserve the
former behavior that indcheckxmin does get set when there are
potentially-broken HOT chains in this case.  This change does not cause any
pg_index update that wouldn't have happened anyway, so we're not
re-introducing the previous bug with pg_index updates, and surely the case
is not significant from a performance standpoint; so let's be as
conservative as possible.

Tom Lane 5b8e442953 Make plan_cluster_use_sort cope with no IndexOptInfo for the target index.
The original coding assumed that such a case represents caller error, but
actually get_relation_info will omit generating an IndexOptInfo for any
index it thinks is unsafe to use.  Therefore, handle this case by returning
"true" to indicate that a seqscan-and-sort is the preferred way to
implement the CLUSTER operation.  New bug in 9.1, no backpatch needed.

Tom Lane 8c19977e9c Avoid changing an index's indcheckxmin horizon during REINDEX.
There can never be a need to push the indcheckxmin horizon forward, since
any HOT chains that are actually broken with respect to the index must
pre-date its original creation.  So we can just avoid changing pg_index
altogether during a REINDEX operation.

This offers a cleaner solution than my previous patch for the problem
found a few days ago that we mustn't try to update pg_index while we are
reindexing it.  System catalog indexes will always be created with
indcheckxmin = false during initdb, and with this modified code we should
never try to change their pg_index entries.  This avoids special-casing
system catalogs as the former patch did, and should provide a performance
benefit for many cases where REINDEX formerly caused an index to be
considered unusable for a short time.

Back-patch to 8.3 to cover all versions containing HOT.  Note that this
patch changes the API for index_build(), but I believe it is unlikely that
any add-on code is calling that directly.

Fix \d on a composite type so that it will print per-column collations.
It's no longer the case that a composite type cannot have modifiers.

change.)

This area was a few bricks shy of a load, and badly under-commented too.
We have to ensure that the generated targetlist entries for a set-operation

processing expects the tlist to reflect the true ordering of the plan's
output.

This hackery wouldn't be necessary if SortGroupClause carried collation
info ... but making it do so would inject more pain in the parser than
would be saved here.  Still, we might want to rethink that sometime.

Tom Lane 4b6106ccfe Prevent incorrect updates of pg_index while reindexing pg_index itself.
The places that attempt to change pg_index.indcheckxmin during a reindexing
operation cannot be executed safely if pg_index itself is the subject of
the operation.  This is the explanation for a couple of recent reports of
VACUUM FULL failing with
	ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pg_index_indexrelid_index"
	DETAIL:  Key (indexrelid)=(2678) already exists.

However, there isn't any real need to update indcheckxmin in such a
situation, if we assume that pg_index can never contain a truly broken HOT
chain.  This assumption holds if new indexes are never created on it during
concurrent operations, which is something we don't consider safe for any
system catalog, not just pg_index.  Accordingly, modify the code to not
manipulate indcheckxmin when reindexing any system catalog.

Back-patch to 8.3, where HOT was introduced.  The known failure scenarios
involve 9.0-style VACUUM FULL, so there might not be any real risk before
9.0, but let's not assume that.

Heikki Linnakangas 4c37c1e3b2 Reduce the initial size of local lock hash to 16 entries.
The hash table is seq scanned at transaction end, to release all locks,
and making the hash table larger than necessary makes that slower. With
very simple queries, that overhead can amount to a few percent of the total
CPU time used.

At the moment, backend startup needs 6 locks, and a simple query with one
table and index needs 3 locks. 16 is enough for even quite complicated
transactions, and it will grow automatically if it fills up.

Instead of using slightly-too-clever heuristics to decide when we must

enough that we needn't worry about doing it on every ALTER TABLE command,
and the previous coding is apparently prone to accidental breakage:
commit 04e17bae50 broken ALTER TABLE ..

Tom Lane eca75a12a2 Ensure mark_dummy_rel doesn't create dangling pointers in RelOptInfos.
When we are doing GEQO join planning, the current memory context is a
short-lived context that will be reset at the end of geqo_eval().  However,
the RelOptInfos for base relations are set up before that and then re-used
across many GEQO cycles.  Hence, any code that modifies a baserel during
join planning has to be careful not to put pointers to the short-lived
context into the baserel struct.  mark_dummy_rel got this wrong, leading to
easy-to-reproduce-once-you-know-how crashes in 8.4, as reported off-list by
Leo Carson of SDSC.  Some improvements made in 9.0 make it difficult to
demonstrate the crash in 9.0 or HEAD; but there's no doubt that there's
still a risk factor here, so patch all branches that have the function.
(Note: 8.3 has a similar function, but it's only applied to joinrels and
thus is not a hazard.)

Tom Lane d64713df7e Pass collations to functions in FunctionCallInfoData, not FmgrInfo.
Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function,
FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in
cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need
different collation settings.  Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData
instead.  In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp
not working).  This requires touching a bit more code than the original
method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive

Tom Lane 921b993677 Fix RI_Initial_Check to use a COLLATE clause when needed in its query.
If the referencing and referenced columns have different collations,
the parser will be unable to resolve which collation to use unless it's
helped out in this way.  The effects are sometimes masked, if we end up
using a non-collation-sensitive plan; but if we do use a mergejoin
we'll see a failure, as recently noted by Robert Haas.

The SQL spec states that the referenced column's collation should be used
to resolve RI checks, so that's what we do.  Note however that we currently
don't append a COLLATE clause when writing a query that examines only the
referencing column.  If we ever support collations that have varying
notions of equality, that will have to be changed.  For the moment, though,
it's preferable to leave it off so that we can use a normal index on the
referencing column.

Tom Lane 00f11f419c Fix ILIKE to honor collation when working in single-byte encodings.

This change also ensures that ILIKE's idea of the case-folding rules

Tom Lane f89e4dfa75 Remove collate.linux.utf8.sql's assumptions about ".utf8" in locale names.
Tweak the test so that it does not depend on the platform using ".utf8" as
the extension signifying that a locale uses UTF8 encoding.  For the most
part this just requires using the abbreviated collation names "en_US" etc,
though I had to work a bit harder on the collation creation tests.

This opens the door to using the test on platforms that spell locales
differently, for example ".utf-8" or ".UTF-8".  Also, the test is now
somewhat useful with server encodings other than UTF8; though depending on
which encoding is selected, different subsets of it will fail for lack of
character set support.
2011-04-09 16:24:36 -04:00
Tom Lane a19002d4e5 Adjust collation determination rules as per discussion.
Remove crude hack that tried to propagate collation through a
function-returning-record, ie, from the function's arguments to individual
fields selected from its result record.  That is just plain inconsistent,
because the function result is composite and cannot have a collation;
and there's no hope of making this kind of action-at-a-distance work
consistently.  Adjust regression test cases that expected this to happen.

Meanwhile, the behavior of casting to a domain with a declared collation
stays the same as it was, since that seemed to be the consensus.

Tom Lane 7c76906b7e Don't show unusable collations in psql's \dO command.

Tom Lane 466dac8656 Fix make_greater_string to not have an undocumented collation assumption.
The previous coding worked only if ltproc->fn_collation was always either
DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID or a C-compatible locale.  While that's true at the
moment, it wasn't documented (and in fact wasn't true when this code was
committed...).  But it only takes a couple more lines to make its internal
caching behavior locale-aware, so let's do that.

truncating, rather than before.

Robert Haas fbc0d07796 Partially roll back overenthusiastic SSI optimization.
When a regular lock is held, SSI can use that in lieu of a predicate lock
to detect rw conflicts; but if the regular lock is being taken by a

parent transaction's lock in that case is a no-no.

Robert Haas 56c7140ca8 Tweaks for SSI out-of-shared memory behavior.
If we call hash_search() with HASH_ENTER, it will bail out rather than
return NULL, so it's redundant to check for NULL again in the caller.
Thus, in cases where we believe it's impossible for the hash table to run
out of slots anyway, we can simplify the code slightly.

On the flip side, in cases where it's theoretically possible to run out of
space, we don't want to rely on dynahash.c to throw an error; instead,
we pass HASH_ENTER_NULL and throw the error ourselves if a NULL comes
back, so that we can provide a more descriptive error message.

Remove the hard-wired assumption that __mips__ (and only __mips__) lacks
dlopen in FreeBSD and OpenBSD.  This assumption is outdated at least for
OpenBSD, as per report from an anonymous 9.1 tester.  We can perfectly well
use HAVE_DLOPEN instead to decide which code to use.

Tom Lane 1471a147f0 Fix SortTocFromFile() to cope with lines that are too long for its buffer.
The original coding supposed that a dump TOC file could never contain lines
longer than 1K.  The folly of that was exposed by a recent report from
Per-Olov Esgard.  We only really need to see the first dozen or two bytes
of each line, since we're just trying to read off the numeric ID at the
start of the line; so there's no need for a particularly huge buffer.
What there is a need for is logic to not process continuation bufferloads.

Back-patch to all supported branches, since it's always been like this.

Bruce Momjian 82a4f37073 Preserve pg_largeobject_metadata.relfrozenxid in pg_upgrade.

9.0 beta fixes at this point.

Tom Lane d8d429890d Fix collations when we call transformWhereClause from outside the parser.
Previous patches took care of assorted places that call transformExpr from
outside the main parser, but I overlooked the fact that some places use
transformWhereClause as a shortcut for transformExpr + coerce_to_boolean.
In particular this broke collation-sensitive index WHERE clauses, as per
report from Thom Brown.  Trigger WHEN and rule WHERE clauses too.

I'm not forcing initdb for this fix, but any affected indexes, triggers,
or rules will need to be dropped and recreated.
2011-04-07 02:34:57 -04:00
Tom Lane 2594cf0e8c Revise the API for GUC variable assign hooks.
The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks
and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't.
Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the
"canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do
an actual assignment.  And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by
Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus
log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without
restarting the server".  There may be some speed advantage too, because
this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when
restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed
representation of the value instead).  This patch also resolves a
longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign
hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message
about "invalid parameter value".

Robert Haas 38b27792ea Avoid possible hang during smart shutdown.
If a smart shutdown occurs just as a child is starting up, and the
child subsequently becomes a walsender, there is a race condition:
the postmaster might count the exstant backends, determine that there
is one normal backend, and wait for it to die off.  Had the walsender
transition already occurred before the postmaster counted, it would
have proceeded with the shutdown.

To fix this, have each child that transforms into a walsender kick
the postmaster just after doing so, so that the state machine is
certain to advance.

Tom Lane eb51af71f2 Prevent a rowtype from being included in itself.
Eventually we might be able to allow that, but it's not clear how many
places need to be fixed to prevent infinite recursion when there's a direct
or indirect inclusion of a rowtype in itself.  One such place is
CheckAttributeType(), which will recurse to stack overflow in cases such as
those exhibited in bug #5950 from Alex Perepelica.  If we were sure it was
the only such place, we could easily modify the code added by this patch to
stop the recursion without a complaint ... but it probably isn't the only
such place.  Hence, throw error until such time as someone is excited
enough about this type of usage to put work into making it safe.

Back-patch as far as 8.3.  8.2 doesn't have the recursive call in
CheckAttributeType in the first place, so I see no need to add code there
in the absence of clear evidence of a problem elsewhere.

This fixes the gripe I made a few months ago about DO blocks getting
slower with repeated use.  At least, it fixes it for the case where
the DO block isn't aborted by an error.  We could try running
plpgsql_free_function_memory() even during error exit, but that seems
a bit scary since it makes a lot of presumptions about the data
structures being in good shape.  It's probably reasonable to assume
that repeated failures of DO blocks isn't a performance-critical case.

Tom Lane bfa4440ca5 Pass collation to makeConst() instead of looking it up internally.
In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and
in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than
the default for the type would be.  (In particular, this patch makes it
significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in
changing the exposed collation of an expression.)  So an internal lookup
is both expensive and wrong.

2011-03-25 18:44:47 -04:00
Tom Lane a4425e3200 Fix collation handling in plpgsql functions.
Make plpgsql treat the input collation as a polymorphism variable, so
that we cache separate plans for each input collation that's used in a
particular session, as per recent discussion.  Propagate the input
collation to all collatable input parameters.

I chose to also propagate the input collation to all declared variables of
collatable types, which is a bit more debatable but seems to be necessary
for non-astonishing behavior.  (Copying a parameter into a separate local
variable shouldn't result in a change of behavior, for example.)  There is
enough infrastructure here to support declaring a collation for each local
variable to override that default, but I thought we should wait to see what
the field demand is before adding such a feature.

In passing, remove exec_get_rec_fieldtype(), which wasn't used anywhere.

Documentation patch to follow.

Tom Lane 5d1d679dbf Make initdb ignore locales for client-only encodings.
While putting such entries into pg_collation is harmless (since backends
will ignore entries that don't match the database encoding), it's also
useless.

Tom Lane 6e197cb2e5 Improve reporting of run-time-detected indeterminate-collation errors.
pg_newlocale_from_collation does not have enough context to give an error
message that's even a little bit useful, so move the responsibility for
complaining up to its callers.  Also, reword ERRCODE_INDETERMINATE_COLLATION
error messages in a less jargony, more message-style-guide-compliant
fashion.

Tom Lane 37d6d07dda Throw error for indeterminate collation of an ORDER/GROUP/DISTINCT target.
This restores a parse error that was thrown (though only in the ORDER BY
case) by the original collation patch.  I had removed it in my recent
revisions because it was thrown at a place where collations now haven't
been computed yet; but I thought of another way to handle it.

Throwing the error at parse time, rather than leaving it to be done at
runtime, is good because a syntax error pointer is helpful for localizing
the problem.  We can reasonably assume that the comparison function for a
collatable datatype will complain if it doesn't have a collation to use.
Now the planner might choose to implement GROUP or DISTINCT via hashing,
in which case no runtime error would actually occur, but it seems better
to throw error consistently rather than let the error depend on what the
planner chooses to do.  Another possible objection is that the user might
specify a nondefault sort operator that doesn't care about collation
... but that's surely an uncommon usage, and it wouldn't hurt him to throw
in a COLLATE clause anyway.  This change also makes the ORDER BY/GROUP
BY/DISTINCT case more consistent with the UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT case,
which was already coded to throw this error even though the same objections
could be raised there.

Tom Lane 1192ba8b67 Avoid potential deadlock in InitCatCachePhase2().
Opening a catcache's index could require reading from that cache's own
catalog, which of course would acquire AccessShareLock on the catalog.
So the original coding here risks locking index before heap, which could
deadlock against another backend trying to get exclusive locks in the
normal order.  Because InitCatCachePhase2 is only called when a backend
has to start up without a relcache init file, the deadlock was seldom seen
in the field.  (And by the same token, there's no need to worry about any
performance disadvantage; so not much point in trying to distinguish
exactly which catalogs have the risk.)

Bug report, diagnosis, and patch by Nikhil Sontakke.  Additional commentary
by me.  Back-patch to all supported branches.
2011-03-22 13:00:48 -04:00
Tom Lane 8df08c8489 Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization (again).
Instead of playing cute games with pathkeys, just build a direct
representation of the intended sub-select, and feed it through
query_planner to get a Path for the index access.  This is a bit slower
than 9.1's previous method, since we'll duplicate most of the overhead of
query_planner; but since the whole optimization only applies to rather
simple single-table queries, that probably won't be much of a problem in
practice.  The advantage is that we get to do the right thing when there's
a partial index that needs the implicit IS NOT NULL clause to be usable.
Also, although this makes planagg.c be a bit more closely tied to the
ordering of operations in grouping_planner, we can get rid of some coupling
to lower-level parts of the planner.  Per complaint from Marti Raudsepp.

Heikki Linnakangas 6d8096e2f3 When two base backups are started at the same time with pg_basebackup,
ensure that they use different checkpoints as the starting point. We use
the checkpoint redo location as a unique identifier for the base backup in
the end-of-backup record, and in the backup history file name.

Bug spotted by Fujii Masao.
2011-03-21 11:25:25 +02:00
Tom Lane 9b095fbea4 Add some platform-independent tests for the collation feature.
There's a lot we can't test very well without platform dependencies,
but the C/POSIX collations should now work the same way everywhere.
2011-03-20 14:35:39 -04:00
Tom Lane 82e4d45bd0 Suppress platform-dependent unused-variable warning.
The local variable "sock" can be unused depending on compilation flags.
But there seems no particular need for it, since the kernel calls can
just as easily say port->sock instead.
2011-03-20 13:34:31 -04:00
Tom Lane 176d5bae1d Fix up handling of C/POSIX collations.
Install just one instance of the "C" and "POSIX" collations into
pg_collation, rather than one per encoding.  Make these instances exist
and do something useful even in machines without locale_t support: to wit,
it's now possible to force comparisons and case-folding functions to use C
locale in an otherwise non-C database, whether or not the platform has
support for using any additional collations.

Fix up severely broken upper/lower/initcap functions, too: the C/POSIX
fastpath now does what it is supposed to, and non-default collations are
handled correctly in single-byte database encodings.

Merge the two separate collation hashtables that were being maintained in
pg_locale.c, and be more wary of the possibility that we fail partway
through filling a cache entry.
2011-03-20 12:44:13 -04:00
Tom Lane b310b6e31c Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.
All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless
they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean
or record).  Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store
a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function.
This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs
and noncollatable output type, or vice versa.

Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with
a post-pass over the completed expression tree.  This allows us to use
a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment
rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node.

Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making
collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and
by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during
expression preprocessing.

Magnus Hagander 6f9192df61 Rename ident authentication over local connections to peer
This removes an overloading of two authentication options where
one is very secure (peer) and one is often insecure (ident). Peer
is also the name used in libpq from 9.1 to specify the same type
of authentication.

Also make initdb select peer for local connections when ident is
chosen, and ident for TCP connections when peer is chosen.

ident keyword in pg_hba.conf is still accepted and maps to peer
authentication.

Robert Haas fbcf4b92aa Fix possible "tuple concurrently updated" error in ALTER TABLE.
When adding an inheritance parent to a table, an AccessShareLock on the
parent isn't strong enough to prevent trouble, so take
ShareUpdateExclusiveLock instead.  Since this is a behavior change,
albeit a fairly unobtrusive one, and since we have only one report
from the field, no back-patch.

Report by Jon Nelson, analysis by Alvaro Herrera, fix by me.

Robert Haas 727589995a Move synchronous_standbys_defined updates from WAL writer to BG writer.
This is advantageous because the BG writer is alive until much later in
the shutdown sequence than WAL writer; we want to make sure that it's
possible to shut off synchronous replication during a smart shutdown,
else it might not be possible to complete the shutdown at all.

Per very reasonable gripes from Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs.

Peter Eisentraut 8c0a5eb78a Raise maximum value of several timeout parameters
The maximum value of deadlock_timeout, max_standby_archive_delay,
max_standby_streaming_delay, log_min_duration_statement, and
log_autovacuum_min_duration was INT_MAX/1000 milliseconds, which is
about 35min, which is too short for some practical uses.  Raise the
maximum value to INT_MAX; the code that uses the parameters already
supports that just fine.

2011-03-17 14:04:11 -04:00
Robert Haas 9a56dc3389 Fix various possible problems with synchronous replication.
1. Don't ignore query cancel interrupts.  Instead, if the user asks to
cancel the query after we've already committed it, but before it's on
the standby, just emit a warning and let the COMMIT finish.

2. Don't ignore die interrupts (pg_terminate_backend or fast shutdown).
Instead, emit a warning message and close the connection without
acknowledging the commit.  Other backends will still see the effect of
the commit, but there's no getting around that; it's too late to abort
at this point, and ignoring die interrupts altogether doesn't seem like
a good idea.

3. If synchronous_standby_names becomes empty, wake up all backends
waiting for synchronous replication to complete.  Without this, someone
attempting to shut synchronous replication off could easily wedge the
entire system instead.

4. Avoid depending on the assumption that if a walsender updates
MyProc->syncRepState, we'll see the change even if we read it without
holding the lock.  The window for this appears to be quite narrow (and
probably doesn't exist at all on machines with strong memory ordering)
but protecting against it is practically free, so do that.

5. Remove useless state SYNC_REP_MUST_DISCONNECT, which isn't needed and
doesn't actually do anything.

There's still some further work needed here to make the behavior of fast
shutdown plausible, but that looks complex, so I'm leaving it for a
separate commit.  Review by Fujii Masao.

Tom Lane 72cfc17aef Improve handling of unknown-type literals in UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT.
This patch causes unknown-type Consts to be coerced to the resolved output
type of the set operation at parse time.  Formerly such Consts were left
alone until late in the planning stage.  The disadvantage of that approach
is that it disables some optimizations, because the planner sees the set-op
leaf query as having different output column types than the overall set-op.
We saw an example of that in a recent performance gripe from Claudio
Freire.

Fixing such a Const requires scribbling on the leaf query in
transformSetOperationTree, but that should be all right since if the leaf
query's semantics depended on that output column, it would already have
resolved the unknown to something else.

Most of the bulk of this patch is a simple adjustment of
transformSetOperationTree's API so that upper levels can get at the
TargetEntry containing a Const to be replaced: it now returns a list of
TargetEntries, instead of just the bare expressions.

Tom Lane f12423d75a Adjust regression test to avoid platform-dependent failure.
We have a test that verifies that max(anyarray) will cope if the array
column elements aren't all the same array type.  However, it's now possible
for that to produce a collation-related error message instead of the
expected one, if the first two column elements happen to be of the same
type and it's one that expects to be given collation info.  Tweak the test
to ensure this doesn't happen.  Per buildfarm member pika.

Tom Lane 696d1f7f06 Make all comparisons done for/with statistics use the default collation.
While this will give wrong answers when estimating selectivity for a
comparison operator that's using a non-default collation, the estimation
error probably won't be large; and anyway the former approach created
estimation errors of its own by trying to use a histogram that might have
been computed with some other collation.  So we'll adopt this simplified
approach for now and perhaps improve it sometime in the future.

This patch incorporates changes from Andres Freund to make sure that
selfuncs.c passes a valid collation OID to any datatype-specific function
it calls, in case that function wants collation information.  Said OID will
now always be DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID, but at least we won't get errors.

Tom Lane 2a26639a5d On further reflection, we'd better do the same in int.c.

Tom Lane 8acdb8bf9c Split CollateClause into separate raw and analyzed node types.
CollateClause is now used only in raw grammar output, and CollateExpr after
parse analysis.  This is for clarity and to avoid carrying collation names
in post-analysis parse trees: that's both wasteful and possibly misleading,
since the collation's name could be changed while the parsetree still
exists.

Also, clean up assorted infelicities and omissions in processing of the
node type.

Tom Lane e3c732a85c Create an explicit concept of collations that work for any encoding.
Use collencoding = -1 to represent such a collation in pg_collation.
We need this to make the "default" entry work sanely, and a later
patch will fix the C/POSIX entries to be represented this way instead
of duplicating them across all encodings.  All lookup operations now
search first for an entry that's database-encoding-specific, and then
for the same name with collencoding = -1.

Also some incidental code cleanup in collationcmds.c and pg_collation.c.

Heikki Linnakangas 30e8b3e58e In ecpg preprocessor, don't try to look up constants in the test for

accident, because we add constants to the global list of variables (why?),
but float constants like 1.23 were interpreted as struct field references,
and not found.

Backpatch to 9.0, where the test for variable hiding was added.

Tom Lane 7564654adf Revert addition of third argument to format_type().
Including collation in the behavior of that function promotes a world view
we do not want.  Moreover, it was producing the wrong behavior for pg_dump
anyway: what we want is to dump a COLLATE clause on attributes whose
attcollation is different from the underlying type, and likewise for
domains, and the function cannot do that for us.  Doing it the hard way
in pg_dump is a bit more tedious but produces more correct output.

In passing, fix initdb so that the initial entry in pg_collation is
properly pinned.  It was droppable before :-(
