Magnus Hagander e98ca4d383 Make hba parsing error messages more specific. 2008-10-27 20:04:45 +00:00
Tom Lane b0169bb124 Install a more robust solution for the problem of infinite error-processing
recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the
client's encoding.  We've been over this ground before, but as reported by
Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for
the conversion-failure message itself :-(.  Fix by installing a "circuit
breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into
recursion trouble.

Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them;
though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in
order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using.

Magnus Hagander f3a0688ace Add support for multiple error messages from libpq, by simply appending them
after each other (since we already add a newline on each, this makes them
multiline).

Previously a new error would just overwrite the old one, so for example any
error caused when trying to connect with SSL enabled would be overwritten
by the error message form the non-SSL connection when using sslmode=prefer.

Tom Lane 0aed62fea9 Better solution to the IN-list issue: instead of having an arbitrary cutoff,
treat Var and non-Var IN-list items differently.  Only non-Var items are
candidates to go into an ANY(ARRAY) construct --- we put all Vars as separate
OR conditions on the grounds that that leaves more scope for optimization.
Per suggestion from Robert Haas.

Tom Lane aa0fb53016 Be a little smarter about qual handling for semi-joins: a qual that mentions
only the outer side can be pushed down rather than having to be evaluated
at the join.

Tom Lane ddbe8dca08 Add a heuristic to transformAExprIn() to make it prefer expanding "x IN (list)"
into an OR of equality comparisons, rather than x = ANY(ARRAY[...]), when there
are Vars in the right-hand side.  This avoids a performance regression compared
to pre-8.2 releases, in cases where the OR form can be optimized into scans
of multiple indexes.  Limit the possible downside by preferring this form only
when the list isn't very long (I set the cutoff at 32 elements, which is a
bit arbitrary but in the right ballpark).  Per discussion with Jim Nasby.

In passing, also make it try the OR form if it cannot select a common type
for the array elements; we've seen a complaint or two about how the OR form
worked for such cases and ARRAY doesn't.

Tom Lane 312b1a983f Reduce the memory footprint of large pending-trigger-event lists, as per my
recent proposal.  In typical cases, we now need 12 bytes per insert or delete
event and 16 bytes per update event; previously we needed 40 bytes per
event on 32-bit hardware and 80 bytes per event on 64-bit hardware.  Even
in the worst case usage pattern with a large number of distinct triggers being
fired in one query, usage is at most 32 bytes per event.  It seems to be a
bit faster than the old code as well, due to reduction of palloc overhead.

This commit doesn't address the TODO item of allowing the event list to spill
to disk; rather it's trying to stave off the need for that.  However, it
probably makes that task a bit easier by reducing the data structure's
dependency on pointers.  It would now be practical to dump an event list to
disk by "chunks" instead of individual events.

Magnus Hagander 81f3e109b7 Remove a "TODO-list" structure at the top of the file, referring back
to the old set of SSL patches. Hasn't been updated since, and we keep
the TODOs in the "real" TODO list, really...

Magnus Hagander f5020684db Remove large parts of the old SSL readme, that consisted of a couple
of copy/paste:d emails. Much of the contents had already been migrated
into the main documentation, some was out of date and some just plain
wrong.

Keep the "protocol-flowchart" which can still be useful.

Tom Lane 7028c13557 Fix an oversight in two different recent patches: nodes that support SRFs
in their targetlists had better reset ps_TupFromTlist during ReScan calls.
There's no need to back-patch here since nodeAgg and nodeGroup didn't
even pretend to support SRFs in prior releases.

Tom Lane d5789018c7 Remove useless ps_OuterTupleSlot field from PlanState. I suppose this was
used long ago, but in the current code the ecxt_outertuple field of
ExprContext is doing all the work.  Spotted by Ran Tang.

Magnus Hagander 7356381ef5 * make pg_hba authoption be a set of 0 or more name=value pairs
* make LDAP use this instead of the hacky previous method to specify
  the DN to bind as
* make all auth options behave the same when they are not compiled
  into the server
* rename "ident maps" to "user name maps", and support them for all
  auth methods that provide an external username

This makes a backwards incompatible change in the format of pg_hba.conf
for the ident, PAM and LDAP authentication methods.

Tom Lane 7f3eba30c9 When estimating without benefit of MCV lists (suggesting that one or both
inputs is unique or nearly so), make eqjoinsel() clamp the ndistinct estimates
to be not more than the estimated number of rows coming from the input
relations.  This allows the estimate to change in response to the selectivity
of restriction conditions on the inputs.

This is a pretty narrow patch and maybe we should be more aggressive about
similarly clamping ndistinct in other cases; but I'm worried about
double-counting the effects of the restriction conditions.  However, it seems
to help for the case exhibited by Grzegorz Jaskiewicz (antijoin against a
small subset of a relation), so let's try this for awhile.

Tom Lane 31468d05d8 Dept of better ideas: refrain from creating the planner's placeholder_list
until vars are distributed to rels during query_planner() startup.  We don't
really need it before that, and not building it early has some advantages.
First, we don't need to put it through the various preprocessing steps, which
saves some cycles and eliminates the need for a number of routines to support
PlaceHolderInfo nodes at all.  Second, this means one less unused plan for any
sub-SELECT appearing in a placeholder's expression, since we don't build
placeholder_list until after sublink expansion is complete.

Peter Eisentraut 361bfc3572 SQL:2008 alternative syntax for LIMIT/OFFSET:
OFFSET num {ROW|ROWS} FETCH {FIRST|NEXT} [num] {ROW|ROWS} ONLY
2008-10-22 11:00:34 +00:00
Tom Lane e6ae3b5dbf Add a concept of "placeholder" variables to the planner. These are variables
that represent some expression that we desire to compute below the top level
of the plan, and then let that value "bubble up" as though it were a plain
Var (ie, a column value).

The immediate application is to allow sub-selects to be flattened even when
they are below an outer join and have non-nullable output expressions.
Formerly we couldn't flatten because such an expression wouldn't properly
go to NULL when evaluated above the outer join.  Now, we wrap it in a
PlaceHolderVar and arrange for the actual evaluation to occur below the outer
join.  When the resulting Var bubbles up through the join, it will be set to
NULL if necessary, yielding the correct results.  This fixes a planner
limitation that's existed since 7.1.

In future we might want to use this mechanism to re-introduce some form of
Hellerstein's "expensive functions" optimization, ie place the evaluation of
an expensive function at the most suitable point in the plan tree.

Alvaro Herrera 06da3c570f Rework subtransaction commit protocol for hot standby.
This patch eliminates the marking of subtransactions as SUBCOMMITTED in pg_clog
during their commit; instead they remain in-progress until main transaction
commit.  At main transaction commit, the commit protocol is atomic-by-page
instead of one transaction at a time.  To avoid a race condition with some
subtransactions appearing committed before others in the case where they span
more than one pg_clog page, we conserve the logic that marks them subcommitted
before marking the parent committed.

Tom Lane e4fb8ff06a Add a new column to pg_am to specify whether an index AM supports backward
scanning; GiST and GIN do not, and it seems like too much trouble to make
them do so.  By teaching ExecSupportsBackwardScan() about this restriction,
we ensure that the planner will protect a scroll cursor from the problem
by adding a Materialize node.

In passing, fix another longstanding bug in the same area: backwards scan of
a plan with set-returning functions in the targetlist did not work either,
since the TupFromTlist expansion code pays no attention to direction (and
has no way to run a SRF backwards anyway).  Again the fix is to make
ExecSupportsBackwardScan check this restriction.

Also adjust the index AM API specification to note that mark/restore support
is unnecessary if the AM can't produce ordered output.

Tom Lane 2a64931c4b Salvage a little bit of work from a failed patch: simplify and speed up
set_rel_width().  The code had been catering for the possibility of different
varnos in the relation targetlist, but this is impossible for a base relation
(and if it were possible, putting all the widths in the same RelOptInfo would
be wrong anyway).
