Revalidation of a plancache entry (after a cache invalidation event) requires acquiring a snapshot. Normally that is harmless, but not if the cached statement is one that needs to run without acquiring a snapshot. We were already aware of that for TransactionStmts, but for some reason hadn't extrapolated to the other statements that PlannedStmtRequiresSnapshot() knows mustn't set a snapshot. This can lead to unexpected failures of commands such as SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL. We can fix it in the same way, by excluding those command types from revalidation. However, we can do even better than that: there is no need to revalidate for any statement type for which parse analysis, rewrite, and plan steps do nothing interesting, which is nearly all utility commands. To mechanize this, invent a parser function stmt_requires_parse_analysis() that tells whether parse analysis does anything beyond wrapping a CMD_UTILITY Query around the raw parse tree. If that's what it does, then rewrite and plan will just skip the Query, so that it is not possible for the same raw parse tree to produce a different plan tree after cache invalidation. stmt_requires_parse_analysis() is basically equivalent to the existing function analyze_requires_snapshot(), except that for obscure reasons that function omits ReturnStmt and CallStmt. It is unclear whether those were oversights or intentional. I have not been able to demonstrate a bug from not acquiring a snapshot while analyzing these commands, but at best it seems mighty fragile. It seems safer to acquire a snapshot for parse analysis of these commands too, which allows making stmt_requires_parse_analysis and analyze_requires_snapshot equivalent. In passing this fixes a second bug, which is that ResetPlanCache would exclude ReturnStmts and CallStmts from revalidation. That's surely *not* safe, since they contain parsable expressions. Per bug #18059 from Pavel Kulakov. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18059-79c692f036b25346@postgresql.org |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
