Adds additional test for active walsenders and closes a race
condition for when we failover when a new walsender was connecting.
Reported and fixed bu Fujii Masao. Review by Heikki Linnakangas
The code in shift_jis_20042euc_jis_2004() would fetch two bytes even when
only one remained in the string. Since conversion functions aren't
supposed to assume null-terminated input, this poses a small risk of
fetching past the end of memory and incurring SIGSEGV. No such crash has
been identified in the field, but we've certainly seen the equivalent
happen in other code paths, so patch this one all the way back.
Report and patch by Noah Misch.
Since the last couple of columns of pg_type are often NULL,
sizeof(FormData_pg_type) can be an overestimate of the actual size of the
tuple data part. Therefore memcpy'ing that much out of the catalog cache,
as analyze.c was doing, poses a small risk of copying past the end of
memory and incurring SIGSEGV. No such crash has been identified in the
field, but we've certainly seen the equivalent happen in other code paths,
so patch this one all the way back.
Per valgrind testing by Noah Misch, though this is not his proposed patch.
I chose to use SearchSysCacheCopy1 rather than inventing special-purpose
infrastructure for copying only the minimal part of a pg_type tuple.
We've now seen more than one gripe from somebody who didn't get the memo
about how to install contrib modules in 9.1. Try to make it a little more
prominent that you aren't supposed to call the scripts directly anymore.
This example wasn't updated when we changed the behavior of bpcharlen()
in 8.0, nor when we changed the number of parameters taken by the bpchar()
cast function in 7.3. Per report from lsliang.
It used to say
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xdb24
Change this to
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xdb 0x24
to make it clear that this is a byte sequence and not a code point.
Also fix the adjacent "character has no equivalent" message that has
the same issue.
The $(PERL) macro will be set by configure if it finds perl at all,
but $(perl_privlibexp) isn't configured unless you said --with-perl.
This results in confusing error messages if someone cd's into
src/pl/plperl and tries to build there despite the configure omission,
as reported by Tomas Vondra in bug #6198. Add simple checks to
provide a more useful report, while not disabling other use of the
makefile such as "make clean".
Back-patch to 9.0, which is as far as the patch applies easily.
If a sub-select's output column is a simple Var, recursively look for
statistics applying to that Var, and use them if available. The need for
this was foreseen ages ago, but we didn't have enough infrastructure to do
it with reasonable speed until just now.
We punt and stick with default estimates if the subquery uses set
operations, GROUP BY, or DISTINCT, since those operations would change the
underlying column statistics (particularly, the relative frequencies of
different values) beyond recognition. This means that the types of
sub-selects for which this improvement applies are fairly limited, since
most subqueries satisfying those restrictions would have gotten flattened
into the parent query anyway. But it does help for some cases, such as
subqueries with ORDER BY or LIMIT.
Since the subroots will surely link back to the same glob struct, this
necessarily leads to infinite recursion. Doh. Found while trying to
debug some other code.
walsender.h should depend on xlog.h, not vice versa. (Actually, the
inclusion was circular until a couple hours ago, which was even sillier;
but Bruce broke it in the expedient rather than logically correct
direction.) Because of that poor decision, plus blind application of
pgrminclude, we had a situation where half the system was depending on
xlog.h to include such unrelated stuff as array.h and guc.h. Clean up
the header inclusion, and manually revert a lot of what pgrminclude had
done so things build again.
This episode reinforces my feeling that pgrminclude should not be run
without adult supervision. Inclusion changes in header files in particular
need to be reviewed with great care. More generally, it'd be good if we
had a clearer notion of module layering to dictate which headers can sanely
include which others ... but that's a big task for another day.
storage/proc.h should not include replication/syncrep.h, especially not
when the latter includes storage/proc.h; but in any case this was a pretty
poor thing from a modular layering standpoint.
">" should be ">>". This typo results in failure to use all of the bits
of the provided seed.
This might rise to the level of a security bug if we were relying on
srand48 for any security-critical purposes, but we are not --- in fact,
it's not used at all unless the platform lacks srandom(), which is
improbable. Even on such a platform the exposure seems minimal.

Formerly, set_subquery_pathlist and other creators of plans for subqueries
saved only the rangetable and rowMarks lists from the lower-level
PlannerInfo. But there's no reason not to remember the whole PlannerInfo,
and indeed this turns out to simplify matters in a number of places.
The immediate reason for doing this was so that the subroot will still be
accessible when we're trying to extract column statistics out of an
already-planned subquery. But now that I've done it, it seems like a good
code-beautification effort in its own right.
I also chose to get rid of the transient subrtable and subrowmark fields in
SubqueryScan nodes, in favor of having setrefs.c look up the subquery's
RelOptInfo. That required changing all the APIs in setrefs.c to pass
PlannerInfo not PlannerGlobal, which was a large but quite mechanical
transformation.
One side-effect not foreseen at the beginning is that this finally broke
inheritance_planner's assumption that replanning the same subquery RTE N
times would necessarily give interchangeable results each time. That
assumption was always pretty risky, but now we really have to make a
separate RTE for each instance so that there's a place to carry the
separate subroots.
In the past, relhassubclass always remained true if a relation had ever had
child relations, even if the last subclass was long gone. While this had
only marginal performance implications in most cases, it was annoying, and
I'm now considering some planner changes that would raise the cost of a
false positive. It was previously impractical to fix this because of race
condition concerns. However, given the recent change that made tablecmds.c
take ShareExclusiveLock on relations that are gaining a child (commit
fbcf4b92aa), we can now allow ANALYZE to
clear the flag when it's no longer relevant. There is no additional
locking cost to do so, since ANALYZE takes ShareExclusiveLock anyway.
1. Use new dropdb --if-exists option, to avoid alarming the user if
the database being dropped doesn't already exist.
2. Bail out if createdb fails.
3. exit 1 if the checks fail.
4. Make it executable.

Don't test whether the number of labels is numerically equal to zero;
count(*) isn't going return zero anyway, and the current coding blows
up if it returns an empty string or an error.
