If the foreign table's rowtype is being used as the type of a column in
another table, we can't just up and change its data type. This was
already checked for composite types and ordinary tables, but we
previously failed to enforce it for foreign tables.
Make sure it's clear that the prohibition on adding a column with a default
when the rowtype is used elsewhere is intentional, and be a bit more
explicit about the other cases where we perform this check.
This reverts commit a06e41deeb of 2011-01-26.
Per discussion, this behavior is not wanted, as it would need to change if
we ever made composite types support DEFAULT.
The previous coding prevented ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN from being used
with a non-NULL default in situations where the table's rowtype was being
used elsewhere. But this is a completely arbitrary restriction since
you could do the same operation in multiple steps (add the column, add
the default, update the table).
Inspired by a patch from Noah Misch, though I didn't use his code.
This feature allows a unique or pkey constraint to be created using an
already-existing unique index. While the constraint isn't very
functionally different from the bare index, it's nice to be able to do that
for documentation purposes. The main advantage over just issuing a plain
ALTER TABLE ADD UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY is that the index can be created with
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, so that there is not a long interval where the
table is locked against updates.
On the way, refactor some of the code in DefineIndex() and index_create()
so that we don't have to pass through those functions in order to create
the index constraint's catalog entries. Also, in parse_utilcmd.c, pass
around the ParseState pointer in struct CreateStmtContext to save on
notation, and add error location pointers to some error reports that didn't
have one before.

Failure to do so can lead to constraint violations. This was broken by

Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does
not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
cannot yet be queried. Support for foreign table scans will need to
be added in a future patch. However, this patch creates the necessary
system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

The contents of an unlogged table are WAL-logged; thus, they are not
available on standby servers and are truncated whenever the database
system enters recovery. Indexes on unlogged tables are also unlogged.
Unlogged GiST indexes are not currently supported.
This commit replaces pg_class.relistemp with pg_class.relpersistence;
and also modifies the RangeVar node type to carry relpersistence rather
than istemp. It also removes removes rd_istemp from RelationData and
instead performs the correct computation based on relpersistence.
For clarity, we add three new macros: RelationNeedsWAL(),
RelationUsesLocalBuffers(), and RelationUsesTempNamespace(), so that we
can clarify the purpose of each check that previous depended on
rd_istemp.
This is intended as infrastructure for the upcoming unlogged tables
patch, as well as for future possible work on global temporary tables.
After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security
or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider
could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created
objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types
of events that might require similar treatment.

Any flavor of ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA fails if (1) the object
is already in the new schema, (2) either the old or new schema is
a temp schema, or (3) either the old or new schema is the TOAST schema.
Extraced from a patch by Dimitri Fontaine, with additional hacking by me.
In the previous coding, we simply issued ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART commands,
which do not roll back on error. This meant that an error between
truncating and committing left the sequences out of sync with the table
contents, with potentially bad consequences as were noted in a Warning on
the TRUNCATE man page.
To fix, create a new storage file (relfilenode) for a sequence that is to
be reset due to RESTART IDENTITY. If the transaction aborts, we'll
automatically revert to the old storage file. This acts just like a
rewriting ALTER TABLE operation. A penalty is that we have to take
exclusive lock on the sequence, but since we've already got exclusive lock
on its owning table, that seems unlikely to be much of a problem.
The interaction of this with usual nontransactional behaviors of sequence
operations is a bit weird, but it's hard to see what would be completely
consistent. Our choice is to discard cached-but-unissued sequence values
both when the RESTART is executed, and at rollback if any; but to not touch
the currval() state either time.
In passing, move the sequence reset operations to happen before not after
any AFTER TRUNCATE triggers are fired. The previous ordering was not
logically sensible, but was forced by the need to minimize inconsistency
if the triggers caused an error. Transactional rollback is a much better
solution to that.
Patch by Steve Singer, rather heavily adjusted by me.
Split the old typenameTypeId() into two functions: A new typenameTypeId() that
returns only a type OID, and typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and
typmod. This isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.
This patch adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger, which
is fired instead of performing a physical insert/update/delete. The
trigger function is passed the entire old and/or new rows of the view,
and must figure out what to do to the underlying tables to implement
the update. So this feature can be used to implement updatable views
using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking.
In passing, this patch corrects the names of some columns in the
information_schema.triggers view. It seems the SQL committee renamed
them somewhere between SQL:99 and SQL:2003.
Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Bernd Helmle; some additional hacking by me.
Actually making this case work, if the column is used in the trigger's
WHEN condition, will take some new code that probably isn't appropriate
to back-patch. For now, just throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error rather
than allowing control to reach the "unexpected object" case. Per bug #5688
from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where the possibility of such a
dependency was introduced.
The implicitly created sequence was created as owned by the current user,
who could be different from the table owner, eg if current user is a
superuser or some member of the table's owning role. This caused sanity
checks in the SEQUENCE OWNED BY code to spit up. Although possibly we
don't need those sanity checks, the safest fix seems to be to make sure
the implicit sequence is assigned the same owner role as the table has.
(We still do all permissions checks as the current user, however.)
Per report from Josh Berkus.
Back-patch to 9.0. The bug goes back to the invention of SEQUENCE OWNED BY
in 8.2, but the fix requires an API change for DefineRelation(), which seems
to have potential for breaking third-party code if done in a minor release.
Given the lack of prior complaints, it's probably not worth fixing in the
stable branches.
This allows us to reliably remove all leftover temporary relation
files on cluster startup without reference to system catalogs or WAL;
therefore, we no longer include temporary relations in XLOG_XACT_COMMIT
and XLOG_XACT_ABORT WAL records.
Since these changes require including a backend ID in each
SharedInvalSmgrMsg, the size of the SharedInvalidationMessage.id
field has been reduced from two bytes to one, and the maximum number
of connections has been reduced from INT_MAX / 4 to 2^23-1. It would
be possible to remove these restrictions by increasing the size of
SharedInvalidationMessage by 4 bytes, but right now that doesn't seem
like a good trade-off.

Without this patch, constraints inherited by children of a parent
table which itself has multiple inheritance parents can end up with
the wrong coninhcount. After dropping the constraint, the children
end up with a leftover copy of the constraint that is not dumped
and cannot be dropped. There is a similar problem with ALTER TABLE
.. ADD COLUMN, but that looks significantly more difficult to
resolve, so I'm committing this fix separately.
Back-patch to 8.4, which is the first release that has coninhcount.

assuming that a local char[] array would be aligned on at least a word

Even on Intel-ish machines there's a potential for a large performance penalty

archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from
other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in
the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby
to enable/disable hot standby.
Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index
without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of
the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a
hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections,
max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings
change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and
update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in
the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint
records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the
standby until the first checkpoint after the change.
Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to
the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches
changed it to 0x9003.
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller

GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number

make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code

of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits:
* The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.
* We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
shared catalogs.
CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
only be visible in one database.
Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.
This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other
concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap,
parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid
such failures during the regression tests.
of old and new toast tables can be done either at the logical level (by
swapping the heaps' reltoastrelid links) or at the physical level (by swapping
the relfilenodes of the toast tables and their indexes). This is necessary
infrastructure for upcoming changes to support CLUSTER/VAC FULL on shared
system catalogs, where we cannot change reltoastrelid. The physical swap
saves a few catalog updates too.
We unfortunately have to keep the logical-level swap logic because in some
cases we will be adding or deleting a toast table, so there's no possibility
of a physical swap. However, that only happens as a consequence of schema
changes in the table, which we do not need to support for system catalogs,
so such cases aren't an obstacle for that.
In passing, refactor the cluster support functions a little bit to eliminate
unnecessarily-duplicated code; and fix the problem that while CLUSTER had
been taught to rename the final toast table at need, ALTER TABLE had not.

the relfilenode of currently-not-relocatable system catalogs.
1. Get rid of inval.c's dependency on relfilenode, by not having it emit
smgr invalidations as a result of relcache flushes. Instead, smgr sinval
messages are sent directly from smgr.c when an actual relation delete or
truncate is done. This makes considerably more structural sense and allows
elimination of a large number of useless smgr inval messages that were
formerly sent even in cases where nothing was changing at the
physical-relation level. Note that this reintroduces the concept of
nontransactional inval messages, but that's okay --- because the messages
are sent by smgr.c, they will be sent in Hot Standby slaves, just from a
lower logical level than before.
2. Move setNewRelfilenode out of catalog/index.c, where it never logically
belonged, into relcache.c; which is a somewhat debatable choice as well but
better than before. (I considered catalog/storage.c, but that seemed too
low level.) Rename to RelationSetNewRelfilenode.
3. Cosmetic cleanups of some other relfilenode manipulations.
When a column is renamed, we recursively rename the same column in
all descendent tables. But if one of those tables also inherits that
column from a table outside the inheritance hierarchy rooted at the
named table, we must throw an error. The previous coding correctly
prohibited the rename when the parent had inherited the column from
elsewhere, but overlooked the case where the parent was OK but a child
table also inherited the same column from a second, unrelated parent.
For now, not backpatched due to lack of complaints from the field.

corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable"
rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to
a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable. Per a gripe several months
ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski.
To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers,
we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint. However, in return
we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents
a fairly sizable space savings. I also replaced the tgisconstraint column
with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by
testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get
the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was
internally generated rather than being user-created.
In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that
pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable.
Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to
a nominally deferrable FK constraint. The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on
that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.

collision situations (ie, new name conflicts with some other column of the

upgrade the logic to be bulletproof doesn't seem worth the trouble.
This change means that both the index name and the column names of an index

underlying table columns are renamed. Neatnik DBAs are still free to rename

we had to prevent such a function from executing SET/RESET ROLE/SESSION
AUTHORIZATION, or it could trivially obtain the privileges of the session

The present patch secures VACUUM, ANALYZE, and CREATE INDEX/REINDEX against

many useful cases for that, but we prevent security problems by forcing a
rollback of any GUC change after completing the operation. Other cases are
handled by throwing an error if any change is attempted; these include temp
table creation, closing a cursor, and creating or deleting a prepared
statement. (In 7.4, the infrastructure to roll back GUC changes doesn't
exist, so we settle for rejecting changes of "search_path" in these contexts.)
