Peter Eisentraut 438cdf6e48 Remove remaining expected file for Python 2.2
We don't have complete expected coverage for Python 2.2 anyway, so it
doesn't seem worth keeping this one around that no one appears to be
updating anyway.  Visual inspection of the differences ought to be
good enough for those few who care about this obsolete Python version.

Tom Lane a874fe7b4c Refactor the executor's API to support data-modifying CTEs better.
The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well
with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with
triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed.  Those problems show it is really not
practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the
cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called
between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd.  Some Asserts have been
added to these functions to help verify correct usage.

It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call
AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now
done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively.  If you really need to
suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to
ExecutorStart.

Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that
PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code.  I think this is not actually
necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any
non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider
committing.  But it seems like good future-proofing.

Tom Lane 389af95155 Support data-modifying commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) in WITH.
This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the
semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value,
and in an unspecified order.  Therefore one WITH clause can't see the
effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than
through the RETURNING values.  And attempts to do conflicting updates will
have unpredictable results.  We'll need to document all that.

This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on
author.

Alvaro Herrera 0056066d06 Update pageinspect--1.0.sql to match the upgrade script
Per comment from Tom
2011-02-25 19:39:02 -03:00
Alvaro Herrera a338d65461 Fix pageinspect's heap_page_item to return infomasks as 32 bit values
HeapTupleHeader's t_infomask and t_infomask2 are defined as 16-bit
unsigned integers, so when the 16th bit was set, heap_page_item was
returning them as negative values, which was ugly.

The change to pageinspect--unpackaged--1.0.sql allows a module upgraded
from 9.0 to be cleanly updated from the previous definition.

Tom Lane bdca82f44d Add a relkind field to RangeTblEntry to avoid some syscache lookups.
The recent additions for FDW support required checking foreign-table-ness
in several places in the parse/plan chain.  While it's not clear whether
that would really result in a noticeable slowdown, it seems best to avoid
any performance risk by keeping a copy of the relation's relkind in
RangeTblEntry.  That might have some other uses later, anyway.
Per discussion.

Peter Eisentraut 1c51c7d5ff Add PL/Python functions for quoting strings
Add functions plpy.quote_ident, plpy.quote_literal,
plpy.quote_nullable, which wrap the equivalent SQL functions.

To be able to propagate char * constness properly, make the argument
of quote_literal_cstr() const char *.  This also makes it more
consistent with quote_identifier().

Tom Lane 1ab9b012bd Allow binary I/O of type "void".
void_send is useful for the same reason that void_out doesn't throw error,
namely that someone might do "select void_returning_func(...)"  from a
client that prefers to operate in binary mode.  The void_recv function may
or may not have any practical use, but we provide it for symmetry.

Tom Lane 2e852e541c Remove ExecRemoveJunk(), which is no longer used anywhere.
This was a leftover from the pre-8.1 design of junkfilters.  It doesn't
seem to have any reason to live, since it's merely a combination of two
easy function calls, and not a well-designed combination at that (it
encourages callers to leak the result tuple).

Tom Lane a210be7720 Fix dangling-pointer problem in before-row update trigger processing.
ExecUpdate checked for whether ExecBRUpdateTriggers had returned a new
tuple value by seeing if the returned tuple was pointer-equal to the old
one.  But the "old one" was in estate->es_junkFilter's result slot, which
would be scribbled on if we had done an EvalPlanQual update in response to
a concurrent update of the target tuple; therefore we were comparing a
dangling pointer to a live one.  Given the right set of circumstances we
could get a false match, resulting in not forcing the tuple to be stored in
the slot we thought it was stored in.  In the case reported by Maxim Boguk
in bug #5798, this led to "cannot extract system attribute from virtual
tuple" failures when trying to do "RETURNING ctid".  I believe there is a
very-low-probability chance of more serious errors, such as generating
incorrect index entries based on the original rather than the
trigger-modified version of the row.

In HEAD, change all of ExecBRInsertTriggers, ExecIRInsertTriggers,
ExecBRUpdateTriggers, and ExecIRUpdateTriggers so that they continue to
have similar APIs.  In the back branches I just changed
ExecBRUpdateTriggers, since there is no bug in the ExecBRInsertTriggers
case.

Itagaki Takahiro 3cba8240a1 Add ENCODING option to COPY TO/FROM and file_fdw.
File encodings can be specified separately from client encoding.
If not specified, client encoding is used for backward compatibility.

Cases when the encoding doesn't match client encoding are slower
than matched cases because we don't have conversion procs for other
encodings. Performance improvement would be be a future work.

Tom Lane 7c5d0ae707 Add contrib/file_fdw foreign-data wrapper for reading files via COPY.
This is both very useful in its own right, and an important test case
for the core FDW support.

This commit includes a small refactoring of copy.c to expose its option
checking code as a separately callable function.  The original patch
submission duplicated hundreds of lines of that code, which seemed pretty
unmaintainable.

Peter Eisentraut 02e14562a8 Set psql client encoding from locale by default
Add a new libpq connection option client_encoding (which includes the
existing PGCLIENTENCODING environment variable), which besides an
encoding name accepts a special value "auto" that tries to determine
the encoding from the locale in the client's environment, using the
mechanisms that have been in use in initdb.

psql sets this new connection option to "auto" when running from a
terminal and not overridden by setting PGCLIENTENCODING.

Tom Lane 4cff100d73 Fix parallel pg_restore to handle comments on POST_DATA items correctly.
The previous coding would try to process all SECTION_NONE items in the
initial sequential-restore pass, which failed if they were dependencies of
not-yet-restored items.  Fix by postponing such items into the parallel
processing pass once we have skipped any non-PRE_DATA item.

Back-patch into 9.0; the original parallel-restore coding in 8.4 did not
have this bug, so no need to change it.

Tom Lane 472f608e43 One more hack to make contrib upgrades from 9.0 match fresh 9.1 installs.
intarray and tsearch2 both reference core support functions in their GIN
opclasses, and the signatures of those functions changed for 9.1.  We added
backwards-compatible pg_proc entries for the functions in order to allow
9.0 dump files to be restored at all, but that hack leaves the opclasses
pointing at pg_proc entries different from what they'd point to if the
contrib modules were installed fresh in 9.1.  To forestall any possibility
of future problems, fix the opclasses to match fresh installs via the
expedient of direct UPDATEs on pg_amproc in the update-from-unpackaged
scripts.  (Yech ... but the alternatives are worse, or require far more
effort than seems justified right now.)

Note: updating pg_amproc is sufficient because there will be no pg_depend
entries corresponding to these dependencies, since the referenced functions
are all pinned.
