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.
Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel dump was introduced.

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.

When pulling the list of roles to drop, exclude roles whose names

Also add regression tests to cover pg_dumpall -c and this specific

Noticed by Rushabh Lathia. Patch by me.
All of the other tables used in the query in dumpTable(), which is
collecting column-level ACLs, are qualified, so we should be qualifying
the pg_init_privs, the related sub-select against pg_class and the
other queries added by the pg_dump catalog ACLs work.
Also, use ::regclass (or ::pg_catalog.regclass, where appropriate)
instead of using a poorly constructed query to get the OID for various
catalog tables.
Issues identified by Noah and Alvaro, patch by me.
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.
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.
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.
Move fmtReloptionsArray() from pg_dump.c to string_utils.c so that it
is available to other frontend code. In particular psql's \ev and \sv
commands need it to handle view reloptions. Also rename the function
to appendReloptionsArray(), which is a more accurate description of
what it does.

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.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

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.
This will prevent users from creating roles which begin with "pg_" and
will check for those roles before allowing an upgrade using pg_upgrade.
This will allow for default roles to be provided at initdb time.

Now indexes (but only B-tree for now) can contain "extra" column(s) which

Now that all of the infrastructure exists, add in the ability to
dump out the ACLs of the objects inside of pg_catalog or the ACLs
for objects which are members of extensions, but only if they have
been changed from their original values.
The original values are tracked in pg_init_privs. When pg_dump'ing
9.6-and-above databases, we will dump out the ACLs for all objects
in pg_catalog and the ACLs for all extension members, where the ACL
has been changed from the original value which was set during either
initdb or CREATE EXTENSION.
This should not change dumps against pre-9.6 databases.

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).
Reviews by Alexander Korotkov, Jose Luis Tallon
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
distinct pieces and use that bitmap to only include the components
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.
Reviews by Alexander Korotkov, Jose Luis Tallon
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".

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.
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.
It was using %u to read a string that was earlier produced by snprintf with %d
into a signed integer variable. This seems to work in practice but is
incorrect.

If a view is split into CREATE TABLE + CREATE RULE to break a circular
dependency, then any triggers on the view must be dumped/reloaded after
the CREATE RULE; else the backend may reject the CREATE TRIGGER because
it's the wrong type of trigger for a plain table. This works all right
in plain dump/restore because of pg_dump's sorting heuristic that places
triggers after rules. However, when using parallel restore, the ordering
must be enforced by a dependency --- and we didn't have one.
Fixing this is a mere matter of adding an addObjectDependency() call,
except that we need to be able to find all the triggers belonging to the
view relation, and there was no easy way to do that. Add fields to
pg_dump's TableInfo struct to remember where the associated TriggerInfo
struct(s) are.
Per bug report from Dennis Kögel. The failure can be exhibited at least
as far back as 9.1, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Aggregate nodes now have two new modes: a "partial" mode where they
output the unfinalized transition state, and a "finalize" mode where
they accept unfinalized transition states rather than individual
values as input.
These new modes are not used anywhere yet, but they will be necessary
for parallel aggregation. The infrastructure also figures to be
useful for cases where we want to aggregate local data and remote
data via the FDW interface, and want to bring back partial aggregates
from the remote side that can then be combined with locally generated
partial aggregates to produce the final value. It may also be useful
even when neither FDWs nor parallelism are in play, as explained in
the comments in nodeAgg.c.

Coverity quite reasonably complained that this check for fout==NULL
occurred after we'd already dereferenced fout. However, the check
is just dead code since there is no code path by which CreateArchive
can return a null pointer. Errors such as can't-open-that-file are
reported down inside CreateArchive, and control doesn't return.
So let's silence the warning by removing the dead code, rather than
continuing to pretend it does something.
Coverity didn't complain about this before 5b5fea2a1, so back-patch
to 9.5 like that patch.
pg_dump's original approach to handling extension member objects was to
run around and clear (or set) their dump flags rather late in its data
collection process. Unfortunately, quite a lot of code expects those flags
to be valid before that; which was an entirely reasonable expectation
before we added extensions. In particular, this explains Karsten Hilbert's
recent report of pg_upgrade failing on a database in which an extension
has been installed into the pg_catalog schema. Its objects are initially
marked as not-to-be-dumped on the strength of their schema, and later we
change them to must-dump because we're doing a binary upgrade of their
extension; but we've already skipped essential tasks like making associated
DO_SHELL_TYPE objects.
To fix, collect extension membership data first, and incorporate it in the
initial setting of the dump flags, so that those are once again correct
from the get-go. This has the undesirable side effect of slightly
lengthening the time taken before pg_dump acquires table locks, but testing
suggests that the increase in that window is not very much.
Along the way, get rid of ugly special-case logic for deciding whether
to dump procedural languages, FDWs, and foreign servers; dump decisions
for those are now correct up-front, too.
In 9.3 and up, this also fixes erroneous logic about when to dump event
triggers (basically, they were *always* dumped before). In 9.5 and up,
transform objects had that problem too.
Since this problem came in with extensions, back-patch to all supported
versions.
Rather than passing around DumpOptions and RestoreOptions as separate
arguments, add fields to struct Archive to carry pointers to these objects,
and access them through those fields when needed. There already was a
RestoreOptions pointer in Archive, though for no obvious reason it was part
of the "private" struct rather than out where pg_dump.c could see it.
Doing this allows reversion of quite a lot of parameter-addition changes
made in commit 0eea8047bf, which is a good thing IMO because this will
reduce the code delta between 9.4 and 9.5, probably easing a few future
back-patch efforts. Moreover, the previous commit only added a DumpOptions
argument to functions that had to have it at the time, which means we could
anticipate still more code churn (and more back-patch hazard) as the
requirement spread further. I'd hit exactly that problem in my upcoming
patch to fix extension membership marking, which is what motivated me to
do this.
Commit c7e27becd2 fixed this on the backend side, but we neglected
the fact that several code paths in pg_dump were printing reloptions
values that had not gotten massaged by ruleutils. Apply essentially the
same quoting logic in those places, too.
