In commit 57664ed25e, I made the planner
wrap non-simple-variable outputs of appendrel children (IOW, child SELECTs
of UNION ALL subqueries) inside PlaceHolderVars, in order to solve some
issues with EquivalenceClass processing. However, this means that any
upper-level WHERE clauses mentioning such outputs will now contain
PlaceHolderVars after they're pushed down into the appendrel child,
and that prevents indxpath.c from recognizing that they could be matched
to index expressions. To fix, add explicit stripping of PlaceHolderVars
from index operands, same as we have long done for RelabelType nodes.
Add a regression test covering both this and the plain-UNION case (which
is a totally different code path, but should also be able to do it).
Per bug #6416 from Matteo Beccati. Back-patch to 9.1, same as the
previous change.
Formerly we passed an empty list to each per-child-table invocation of
grouping_planner, and then merged the results into the global list.
However, that fails if there's a CTE attached to the statement, because
create_ctescan_plan uses the list to find the plan referenced by a CTE
reference; so it was unable to find any CTEs attached to the outer UPDATE
or DELETE. But there's no real reason not to use the same list throughout
the process, and doing so is simpler and faster anyway.
Per report from Josh Berkus of "could not find plan for CTE" failures.
Back-patch to 9.1 where we added support for WITH attached to UPDATE or
DELETE. Add some regression test cases, too.
Much more could be done here, but at least now we have *some* automated
test coverage of that mechanism. In particular this tests the writable-CTE
case reported by Phil Sorber.
In passing, remove isolationtester's arbitrary restriction on the number of
steps in a permutation list. I used this so that a single spec file could
be used to run several related test scenarios, but there are other possible
reasons to want a step series that's not exactly a permutation. Improve
documentation and fix a couple other nits as well.
We can't just skip initializing such subplans, because the referencing CTE
node will expect to find the subplan available when it initializes. That
in turn means that ExecInitModifyTable must allow the case (which actually
it needed to do anyway, since there's no guarantee that ModifyTable is
exactly at the top of the CTE plan tree). So move the complaint about not
being allowed in EvalPlanQual mode to execution instead of initialization.
Testing turned up yet another problem, which is that we'd try to
re-initialize the result relation's index list, leading to leaks and
dangling pointers.
Per report from Phil Sorber. Back-patch to 9.1 where data-modifying CTEs
were introduced.
Due to oversights, the encrypt_iv() and decrypt_iv() functions failed to
report certain types of invalid-input errors, and would instead return
random garbage values.
Marko Kreen, per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner
After the planner was fixed to convert some IN/EXISTS subqueries into
semijoins or antijoins, we had to prevent it from doing that in some
cases where the plans risked getting much worse. The reason the plans
got worse was that in the unoptimized implementation, subqueries could
reference parameters from the outer query at any join level, and so
full table scans could be avoided even if they were one or more levels
of join below where the semi/anti join would be. Now that we have
sufficient mechanism in the planner to handle such cases properly,
it should no longer be necessary to play dumb here.
This reverts commits 07b9936a0f and
cd1f0d04bf. The latter was a stopgap
fix that wasn't really sufficiently analyzed at the time. Rather
than just restricting ourselves to cases where the new join can be
stacked on the right-hand input, we should also consider whether it
can be stacked on the left-hand input.
This patch fixes the planner so that it can generate nestloop-with-
inner-indexscan plans even with one or more levels of joining between
the indexscan and the nestloop join that is supplying the parameter.
The executor was fixed to handle such cases some time ago, but the
planner was not ready. This should improve our plans in many situations
where join ordering restrictions formerly forced complete table scans.
There is probably a fair amount of tuning work yet to be done, because
of various heuristics that have been added to limit the number of
parameterized paths considered. However, we are not going to find out
what needs to be adjusted until the code gets some real-world use, so
it's time to get it in there where it can be tested easily.
Note API change for index AM amcostestimate functions. I'm not aware of
any non-core index AMs, but if there are any, they will need minor
adjustments.
Hitherto, the information schema only showed explicitly granted
privileges that were visible in the *acl catalog columns. If no
privileges had been granted, the implicit privileges were not shown.
To fix that, add an SQL-accessible version of the acldefault()
function, and use that inside the aclexplode() calls to substitute the
catalog-specific default privilege set for null values.

In e5e2fc842c, blank lines were removed
after a comment block, which now looks as though the comment refers to
the immediately following code, but it actually refers to the
preceding code. So put the blank lines back.
This has been the behavior already in most cases, but through
omission, ALTER DOMAIN / OWNER TO and ALTER DOMAIN / SET SCHEMA would
silently work on non-domain types as well.
Those fields only appear in the structs so that genbki.pl can create
the BKI bootstrap files for the catalogs. But they are not actually
usable from C. So hiding them can prevent coding mistakes, saves
stack space, and can help the compiler.
In certain catalogs, the first variable-length field has been kept
visible after manual inspection. These exceptions are noted in C
comments.
reviewed by Tom Lane
Normally, accessing variable-length members of catalog structures past
the first one doesn't work at all. Here, it happened to work because
indnatts was checked to be 1, and so the defined FormData_pg_index
layout, using int2vector[1] and oidvector[1] for variable-length
arrays, happened to match the actual memory layout. But it's a very
fragile assumption, and it's not in a performance-critical path, so
code it properly using heap_getattr() instead.

Parallel dump will need to repeat these steps for each new connection,
so it's better to have this logic in its own function.
Extracted (with some changes) from a much larger patch
by Joachim Wieland.
Our own qsort_arg() implementation doesn't have the defect previously
observed to affect only QNX 4, so it seems sufficiently to assert that
it isn't broken rather than retesting. Also, update a few comments to
clarify why it's valuable to retain a tie-break rule based on CTID
during index builds.

We now use the same error message for ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN or
ALTER TABLE .. RENAME COLUMN that we do for CREATE TABLE. The old
message was accurate, but might be confusing to users not aware of our
system columns.

To make it wake up promptly when activity starts again, backends nudge it
by setting a latch in MarkBufferDirty(). The latch is kept set while
bgwriter is active, so there is very little overhead from that when the
system is busy. It is only armed before going into longer sleep.

This doesn't do anything useful just yet, but is intended as supporting
infrastructure for allowing sepgsql to sensibly check DROP permissions.

Rip out a regression test that doesn't play well with settings put in
place by the build farm, and rewrite the code in CheckIndexCompatible
in a hopefully more transparent style.
This enables a bunch of features, notably ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK. It also
makes COPY failure (either in the server or psql) as a whole behave more
sanely in psql.
Additionally, having more commands in the same command line as COPY
works better (though since psql splits lines at semicolons, this doesn't
matter much unless you're using -c).
Also tighten a couple of switches on PQresultStatus() to add
PGRES_COPY_BOTH support and stop assuming that unknown statuses received
are errors; have those print diagnostics where warranted.

This gives up the "don't rewrite the index" behavior in a couple of
relatively unimportant cases, such as changing between an array type
and an unconstrained domain over that array type, in return for
making this code more future-proof.

Replication occurs only to memory on standby, not to disk,
so provides additional performance if user wishes to
reduce durability level slightly. Adds concept of multiple
independent sync rep queues.
Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs
Drop the role we create, so regression tests pass even when run more
than once against the same cluster, a problem noted by Tom Lane and
Jeff Janes. Also, rename the temporary role so that it starts with
"regress_", to make it unlikely that we'll collide with an existing
role name while running "make installcheck", per further gripe from
Tom Lane.
We log AccessExclusiveLocks for replay onto standby nodes,
but because of timing issues on ProcArray it is possible to
log a lock that is still held by a just committed transaction
that is very soon to be removed. To avoid any timing issue we
avoid applying locks made by transactions with InvalidXid.
