In commit 23f34fa, we changed how ACLs were handled to use the new
pg_init_privs catalog and to dump out the ACL commands as REVOKE+GRANT
combinations instead of trying to REVOKE all rights always and then
GRANT back just the ones which were in place.
Unfortunately, the DEFAULT PRIVILEGES system didn't quite get the
correct treatment with this change and ended up (incorrectly) only
including positive GRANTs instead of both the REVOKEs and GRANTs
necessary to preserve the correct privileges.
There are only a couple cases where such REVOKEs are possible because,
generally speaking, there's few rights which exist on objects by
default to be revoked.
Examples of REVOKEs which weren't being correctly preserved are when
privileges are REVOKE'd from the creator/owner, like so:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
FOR ROLE myrole
REVOKE SELECT ON TABLES FROM myrole;
or when other default privileges are being revoked, such as EXECUTE
rights granted to public for functions:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
FOR ROLE myrole
REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS FROM PUBLIC;
Fix this by correctly working out what the correct REVOKE statements are
(if any) and dump them out, just as we do for everything else.
Noticed while developing additional regression tests for pg_dump, which
will be landing shortly.
Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.
The pg_dump TAP tests have gotten pretty far from what perltidy thinks
they should be, so fix that, and in passing use long-form argument names
with arguments passed via "=" in a similar vein to 58da833.
No functional changes here, just whitespace and changing runs from
"-f" to "--file=", and similar.
As pointed out by Alvaro, we actually use perltidy on the perl scripts
in the source tree, so go back to the results of a perltidy run for the
test_pg_dump TAP script.
To make it look slightly less tragic, I changed most of the independent
arguments into long-form single arguments (eg: -f file.sql changed to be
--file=file.sql) to avoid having them confusingly split across lines due
to perltidy.
Back-patch to 9.6, as the last patch was.
next_token() oddly set its buffer space consumption limit to one before
the last char position in the buffer, not the last as you'd expect.
The reason is there was once an ugly kluge to mark keywords by appending
a newline to them, potentially requiring one more byte. Commit e5e2fc842
removed that kluge, but failed to notice that the length limit could be
increased.
Also, remove some vestigial handling of newline characters in the buffer.
That was left over from when this function read the file directly using
getc(). Commit 7f49a67f9 changed it to read from a buffer, from which
tokenize_file had already removed the only possible occurrence of newline,
but did not simplify this function in consequence.
Also, ensure that we don't return with *lineptr set to someplace past the
terminating '\0'; that would be catastrophic if a caller were to ask for
another token from the same line. This is just latent since no callers
actually do call again after a "false" return; but considering that it was
actually costing us extra code to do it wrong, we might as well make it
bulletproof.
Noted while reviewing pg_hba_file_rules patch.
This view is designed along the same lines as pg_file_settings, to wit
it shows what is currently in the file, not what the postmaster has
loaded as the active settings. That allows it to be used to pre-vet
edits before issuing SIGHUP. As with the earlier view, go out of our
way to allow errors in the file to be reflected in the view, to assist
that use-case.
(We might at some point invent a view to show the current active settings,
but this is not that patch; and it's not trivial to do.)

Quite a few of our built-in system views were not exercised anywhere
in the regression tests. This is perhaps not so exciting for the ones
that are simple projections/joins of system catalogs, but for the ones
that are wrappers for set-returning C functions, the omission translates
directly to lack of test coverage for those functions.
In many cases, the reason for the omission is that the view doesn't have
much to do with any specific SQL feature, so there's no natural place to
test it. To remedy that, invent a new script sysviews.sql that's dedicated
to testing SRF-based views. Move a couple of tests that did fit this
charter into the new script, and add simple "count(*)" based tests of
other views within the charter. That's enough to ensure we at least
exercise the main code path through the SRF, although it does little to
prove that the output is sane.
More could be done here, no doubt, and I hope someone will think about
how we can test these views more thoroughly. But this is a starting
point.

Previously, if the user set a special variable such as ECHO to an
unrecognized value, psql would bleat but store the new value anyway, and
then fall back to a default setting for the behavior controlled by the
variable. This was agreed to be a not particularly good idea. With
this patch, invalid values result in an error message and no change in
state.
(But this applies only to variables that affect psql's behavior; purely
informational variables such as ENCODING can still be set to random
values.)
To do this, modify the API for psql's assign-hook functions so that they
can return an OK/not OK result, and give them the responsibility for
printing error messages when they reject a value. Adjust the APIs for
ParseVariableBool and ParseVariableNum to support the new behavior
conveniently.
In passing, document the variable VERSION, which had somehow escaped that.
And improve the quite-inadequate commenting in psql/variables.c.

In commit 6c268df, pg_init_privs was added to track the initial
privileges of catalog objects and extensions. Unfortunately, that
commit didn't include understanding of ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP, which
allows the objects associated with an extension to be changed after the
initial CREATE EXTENSION script has been run.
The result of this meant that ACLs for objects added through
ALTER EXTENSION ADD were not recorded into pg_init_privs and we would
end up including those ACLs in pg_dump when we shouldn't have.
This commit corrects that by making sure to have pg_init_privs updated
when ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP is run, recording the permissions as they
are at ALTER EXTENSION ADD time, and removing any if/when ALTER
EXTENSION DROP is called.
This issue was pointed out by Moshe Jacobson as commentary on bug #14456
(which was actually a bug about versions prior to 9.6 not handling
custom ACLs on extensions correctly, an issue now addressed with
pg_init_privs in 9.6).
Back-patch to 9.6 where pg_init_privs was introduced.

Currently, we only need this logic in order to cost a Bitmap Heap

When I wrote commit ab1f0c822, I really missed the castNode() macro that
Peter E. had proposed shortly before. This back-fills the uses I would
have put it to. It's probably not all that significant, but there are
more assertions here than there were before, and conceivably they will
help catch any bugs associated with those representation changes.
I left behind a number of usages like "(Query *) copyObject(query_var)".
Those could have been converted as well, but Peter has proposed another
notational improvement that would handle copyObject cases automatically,
so I let that be for now.
The new function allows to cast from one NodeTag based type to
another, while asserting that the conversion is valid. This replaces
the common pattern of doing a cast and a Assert(IsA(ptr, type))
close-by.
As this seems likely to be used pervasively, we decided to backpatch
this change the addition of this macro. Otherwise backpatched fixes
are more likely not to work on back-branches.
On branches before 9.6, where we do not yet rely on inline functions
being available, the type assertion is only performed if PG_USE_INLINE
support is detected. The cast obviously is performed regardless.
For the benefit of verifying the macro compiles in the back-branches,
this commit contains a single use of the new macro. On master, a
somewhat larger conversion will be committed separately.

!foo means "the tsvector does not contain foo", and therefore it should
match an empty tsvector. ts_match_vq() overenthusiastically supposed
that an empty tsvector could never match any query, so it forcibly
returned FALSE, the wrong answer. Remove the premature optimization.
Our behavior on this point was inconsistent, because while seqscans and
GIST index searches both failed to match empty tsvectors, GIN index
searches would find them, since GIN scans don't rely on ts_match_vq().
That makes this certainly a bug, not a debatable definition disagreement,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

There's really no situation where we don't want these unknown-to-text
conversions to happen. The alternative is failure anyway, and the one
caller that was passing "false" did so only because it expected the
case could not arise. Might as well simplify the code.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAH2L28uwwbL9HUM-WR=hromW1Cvamkn7O-g8fPY2m=_7muJ0oA@mail.gmail.com
Previously, type "unknown" was labeled as a base type in pg_type, which
perhaps had some sense to it because you were allowed to create tables with
unknown-type columns. But now that we don't allow that, it makes more
sense to label it a pseudo-type. This has the additional effects of
forbidding use of "unknown" as a domain base type, cast source or target
type, PL function argument or result type, or plpgsql local variable type;
all of which seem like good holes to plug.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAH2L28uwwbL9HUM-WR=hromW1Cvamkn7O-g8fPY2m=_7muJ0oA@mail.gmail.com
Previously, we left such literals alone if the query or subquery had
no properties forcing a type decision to be made (such as an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT clause using that output column). This meant that "unknown" could
be an exposed output column type, which has never been a great idea because
it could result in strange failures later on. For example, an outer query
that tried to do any operations on an unknown-type subquery output would
generally fail with some weird error like "failed to find conversion
function from unknown to text" or "could not determine which collation to
use for string comparison". Also, if the case occurred in a CREATE VIEW's
query then the view would have an unknown-type column, causing similar
failures in queries trying to use the view.
To fix, at the tail end of parse analysis of a query, forcibly convert any
remaining "unknown" literals in its SELECT or RETURNING list to type text.
However, provide a switch to suppress that, and use it in the cases of
SELECT inside a set operation or INSERT command. In those cases we already
had type resolution rules that make use of context information from outside
the subquery proper, and we don't want to change that behavior.
Also, change creation of an unknown-type column in a relation from a
warning to a hard error. The error should be unreachable now in CREATE
VIEW or CREATE MATVIEW, but it's still possible to explicitly say "unknown"
in CREATE TABLE or CREATE (composite) TYPE. We want to forbid that because
it's nothing but a foot-gun.
This change creates a pg_upgrade failure case: a matview that contains an
unknown-type column can't be pg_upgraded, because reparsing the matview's
defining query will now decide that the column is of type text, which
doesn't match the cstring-like storage that the old materialized column
would actually have. Add a checking pass to detect that. While at it,
we can detect tables or composite types that would fail, essentially
for free. Those would fail safely anyway later on, but we might as
well fail earlier.

According to the comments in tupconvert.c, it's necessary to perform
tuple conversion when either table has OIDs, and this was previously
checked by ensuring that the tdtypeid value matched between the tables
in question. However, that's overly stringent: we have access to
tdhasoid and can test directly whether OIDs are present, which lets us
avoid conversion in cases where the type OIDs are different but the
tuple descriptors are entirely the same (and neither has OIDs). This
is useful to the partitioning code, which can thereby avoid converting
tuples when inserting into a partition whose columns appear in the
same order as the parent columns, the normal case. It's possible
for the tuple routing code to avoid some additional overhead in this
case as well, so do that, too.
It's not clear whether it would be OK to skip this when both tables
have OIDs: do callers count on this to build a new tuple (losing the
previous OID) in such instances? Until we figure it out, leave the
behavior in that case alone.

If you create a DestReciver of type DestRemote and try to use it from
a replication connection that is not bound to a specific daabase, or
any other hypothetical type of backend that is not bound to a specific
database, it will fail because it doesn't have a pg_proc catalog to
look up properties of the types being printed. In general, that's
an unavoidable problem, but we can hardwire the properties of a few
builtin types in order to support utility commands. This new
DestReceiver of type DestRemoteSimple does just that.
