pg_xlogdump doesn't have any other mode, so it's just confusing to include this in the error message as it indicates there might be another mode.

2016-07-13Add a regression test case to improve code coverage for tuplesort.Tom Lane
Test the external-sort code path in CLUSTER for two different scenarios: multiple-pass external sorting, and the best case for replacement selection, where only one run is produced, so that no merge is required. This test would have caught the bug fixed in commit 1b0fc8507, at least when run with valgrind enabled. In passing, add a short-circuit test in plan_cluster_use_sort() to make dead certain that it selects sorting when enable_indexscan is off. As things stand, that would happen anyway, but it seems like good future proofing for this test. Peter Geoghegan Discussion: <CAM3SWZSgxehDkDMq1FdiW2A0Dxc79wH0hz1x-TnGy=1BXEL+nw@mail.gmail.com>

2016-07-12Allow IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA within pl/pgsql.Tom Lane
Since IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA has an INTO clause, pl/pgsql needs to be aware of that and avoid capturing the INTO as an INTO-variables clause. This isn't hard, though it's annoying to have to make IMPORT a plpgsql keyword just for this. (Fortunately, we have the infrastructure now to make it an unreserved keyword, so at least this shouldn't break any existing pl/pgsql code.) Per report from Merlin Moncure. Back-patch to 9.5 where IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA was introduced. Report: <CAHyXU0wpHf2bbtKGL1gtUEFATCY86r=VKxfcACVcTMQ70mCyig@mail.gmail.com>

2016-07-11Print a given subplan only once in EXPLAIN.Tom Lane
We have, for a very long time, allowed the same subplan (same member of the PlannedStmt.subplans list) to be referenced by more than one SubPlan node; this avoids problems for cases such as subplans within an IndexScan's indxqual and indxqualorig fields. However, EXPLAIN had not gotten the memo and would print each reference as though it were an independent identical subplan. To fix, track plan_ids of subplans we've printed and don't print the same plan_id twice. Per report from Pavel Stehule. BTW: the particular case of IndexScan didn't cause visible duplication in a plain EXPLAIN, only EXPLAIN ANALYZE, because in the former case we short-circuit executor startup before the indxqual field is processed by ExecInitExpr. That seems like it could easily lead to other EXPLAIN problems in future, but it's not clear how to avoid it without breaking the "EXPLAIN a plan using hypothetical indexes" use-case. For now I've left that issue alone. Although this is a longstanding bug, it's purely cosmetic (no great harm is done by the repeat printout) and we haven't had field complaints before. So I'm hesitant to back-patch it, especially since there is some small risk of ABI problems due to the need to add a new field to ExplainState. In passing, rearrange order of fields in ExplainState to be less random, and update some obsolete comments about when/where to initialize them.

2016-07-09Improve recording of IA64 stack data.Tom Lane
Examination of the results from anole and gharial suggests that we're only managing to track the size of one of the two stacks of IA64 machines. Some googling gave the answer: on HPUX11, the register stack is reported as a page type I don't see in pstat.h on my HPUX10 box. Let's try testing for that.

2016-07-08Add some temporary code to record stack usage at server process exit.Tom Lane
This patch is meant to gather information from the buildfarm members, and will be reverted in a day or so. The idea is to try to find out the high-water stack consumption while running the regression tests, particularly on IA64 which is suspected to use much more stack than other architectures. On machines with pmap, we can use that; but the IA64 farm members are running HPUX, so also include some bespoke code for HPUX. (I've tested the latter on HPUX 10/HPPA; not entirely sure it will work on HPUX 11/IA64, but we'll soon find out.) Discussion: <CAM-w4HMwwcwaVvYcAH0_FGtG5GeXdYVRfvG81pXnSJWHnCfosQ@mail.gmail.com>

2016-07-07Reduce stack space consumption in tzload().Tom Lane
While syncing our timezone code with IANA's updates in commit 1c1a7cbd6, I'd chosen not to adopt the code they conditionally compile under #ifdef ALL_STATE. The main thing that that drives is that the space for gmtime and localtime timezone definitions isn't statically allocated, but is malloc'd on first use. I reasoned we didn't need that logic: we don't have localtime() at all, and we always initialize TimeZone to GMT so we always need that one. But there is one other thing ALL_STATE does, which is to make tzload() malloc its transient workspace instead of just declaring it as a local variable. It turns out that that local variable occupies 78K. Even worse is that, at least for common US timezone settings, there's a recursive call to parse the "posixrules" zone name, making peak stack consumption to select a time zone upwards of 150K. That's an uncomfortably large fraction of our STACK_DEPTH_SLOP safety margin, and could result in outright crashes if we try to reduce STACK_DEPTH_SLOP as has been discussed recently. Furthermore, this means that the postmaster's peak stack consumption is several times that of a backend running typical queries (since, except on Windows, backends inherit the timezone GUC values and don't ever run this code themselves unless you do SET TIMEZONE). That's completely backwards from a safety perspective. Hence, adopt the ALL_STATE rather than non-ALL_STATE variant of tzload(), while not changing the other code aspects that symbol controls. The risk of an ENOMEM error from malloc() seems less than that of a SIGSEGV from stack overrun. This should probably get back-patched along with 1c1a7cbd6 and followon fixes, whenever we decide we have enough confidence in the updates to do that.

2016-07-04Fix failure to handle conflicts in non-arbiter exclusion constraints.Tom Lane
ExecInsertIndexTuples treated an exclusion constraint as subject to noDupErr processing even when it was not listed in arbiterIndexes, and would therefore not error out for a conflict in such a constraint, instead returning it as an arbiter-index failure. That led to an infinite loop in ExecInsert, since ExecCheckIndexConstraints ignored the index as-intended and therefore didn't throw the expected error. To fix, make the exclusion constraint code path use the same condition as the index_insert call does to decide whether no-error-for-duplicates behavior is appropriate. While at it, refactor a little bit to avoid unnecessary list_member_oid calls. (That surely wouldn't save anything worth noticing, but I find the code a bit clearer this way.) Per bug report from Heikki Rauhala. Back-patch to 9.5 where ON CONFLICT was introduced. Report: <4C976D6B-76B4-434C-8052-D009F7B7AEDA@reaktor.fi>

2016-07-03Allow RTE_SUBQUERY rels to be considered parallel-safe.Tom Lane
There isn't really any reason not to; the original comments here were partly confused about subplans versus subquery-in-FROM, and partly dependent on restrictions that no longer apply now that subqueries return Paths not Plans. Depending on what's inside the subquery, it might fail to produce any parallel_safe Paths, but that's fine. Tom Lane and Robert Haas
2016-07-03Fix up parallel-safety marking for appendrels.Tom Lane
The previous coding assumed that the value derived by set_rel_consider_parallel() for an appendrel parent would be accurate for all the appendrel's children; but this is not so, for example because one child might scan a temp table. Instead, apply set_rel_consider_parallel() to each child rel as well as the parent, and then take the AND of the results as controlling parallel safety for the appendrel as a whole. (We might someday be able to deal more intelligently than this with cases in which some of the childrels are parallel-safe and others not, but that's for later.) Robert Haas and Tom Lane
2016-07-03Allow treating TABLESAMPLE scans as parallel-safe.Tom Lane
This was the intention all along, but an extraneous "return;" in set_rel_consider_parallel() caused sampled rels to never be marked consider_parallel. Since we don't have any partial tablesample path/plan type yet, there's no possibility of parallelizing the sample scan itself; but this fix allows such a scan to appear below a parallel join, for example.
2016-07-03Set correct cost data in Gather node added by force_parallel_mode.Tom Lane
We were just leaving the cost fields zeroes, which produces obviously bogus output with force_parallel_mode = on. With force_parallel_mode = regress, the zeroes are hidden, but I wonder if they wouldn't still confuse add-on code such as auto_explain.
2016-07-03Round rowcount estimate for a partial path to an integer.Tom Lane
I'd been wondering why I was sometimes seeing fractional rowcount estimates in parallel-query situations, and this seems to be the reason. (You won't see the fractional parts in EXPLAIN, because it prints rowcounts with %.0f, but they are apparent in the debugger.) A fractional rowcount is not any saner for a partial path than any other kind of path, and it's equally likely to break cost estimation for higher paths, so apply clamp_row_est() like we do in other places.
2016-07-02PL/Python: Report argument parsing errors using exceptionsPeter Eisentraut

2016-07-02Fix failure to mark all aggregates with appropriate transtype.Tom Lane
In commit 915b703e1 I gave get_agg_clause_costs() the responsibility of marking Aggref nodes with the appropriate aggtranstype. I failed to notice that where it was being called from, it might see only a subset of the Aggref nodes that were in the original targetlist. Specifically, if there are duplicate aggregate calls in the tlist, either make_sort_input_target or make_window_input_target might put just a single instance into the grouping_target, and then only that instance would get marked. Fix by moving the call back into grouping_planner(), before we start building assorted PathTargets from the query tlist. Per report from Stefan Huehner. Report: <20160702131056.GD3165@huehner.biz>

2016-07-01Fix some interrelated planner issues with initPlans and Param munging.Tom Lane
In commit 68fa28f77 I tried to teach SS_finalize_plan() to cope with initPlans attached anywhere in the plan tree, by dint of moving its handling of those into the recursion in finalize_plan(). It turns out that that doesn't really work: if a lower-level plan node emits an initPlan output parameter in its targetlist, it's legitimate for upper levels to reference those Params --- and at the point where this code runs, those references look just like the Param itself, so finalize_plan() quite properly rejects them as being in the wrong place. We could lobotomize the checks enough to allow that, probably, but then it's not clear that we'd have any meaningful check for misplaced Params at all. What seems better, at least in the near term, is to tweak standard_planner() a bit so that initPlans are never placed anywhere but the topmost plan node for a query level, restoring the behavior that occurred pre-9.6. Possibly we can do better if this code is ever merged into setrefs.c: then it would be possible to check a Param's placement only when we'd failed to replace it with a Var referencing a child plan node's targetlist. BTW, I'm now suspicious that finalize_plan is doing the wrong thing by returning the node's allParam rather than extParam to be incorporated in the parent node's set of used parameters. However, it makes no difference given that initPlans only appear at top level, so I'll leave that alone for now. Another thing that emerged from this is that standard_planner() needs to check for initPlans before deciding that it's safe to stick a Gather node on top in force_parallel_mode mode. We previously guarded against that by deciding the plan wasn't wholePlanParallelSafe if any subplans had been found, but after commit 5ce5e4a12 it's necessary to have this substitute test, because path parallel_safe markings don't account for initPlans. (Normally, we'd have decided the paths weren't safe anyway due to appearances of SubPlan nodes, Params, or CTE scans somewhere in the tree --- but it's possible for those all to be optimized away while initPlans still remain.)

2016-07-01Provide and use a makefile target to build all generated headers.Tom Lane
As of 9.6, pg_regress doesn't build unless storage/lwlocknames.h has been created; but there was nothing forcing that to happen if you just went into src/test/regress/ and built there. We previously had a similar complaint about plpython. To fix in a way that won't break next time we invent a generated header, make src/backend/Makefile expose a phony target for updating all the include files it builds, and invoke that before building pg_regress or plpython. In principle, maybe we ought to invoke that everywhere; but it would add a lot of usually-useless make cycles, so let's just do it in the places where people have complained. I made a couple of cosmetic adjustments in src/backend/Makefile as well, to deal with the generated headers in consistent orders.

2016-07-01walreceiver: tweak pg_stat_wal_receiver behaviorAlvaro Herrera
There are two problems in the original coding: one is that if one walreceiver process exits, the ready_to_display flag remains set in shared memory, exposing the conninfo of the next walreceiver before obfuscating. Fix by having WalRcvDie reset the flag. Second, the sleep-and-retry behavior that waited until walreceiver had set ready_to_display wasn't liked; the preference is to have it return no data instead, so let's do that.

2016-07-01Rethink the GetForeignUpperPaths API (again).Tom Lane
In the previous design, the GetForeignUpperPaths FDW callback hook was called before we got around to labeling upper relations with the proper consider_parallel flag; this meant that any upper paths created by an FDW would be marked not-parallel-safe. While that's probably just as well right now, we aren't going to want it to be true forever. Hence, abandon the idea that FDWs should be allowed to inject upper paths before the core code has gotten around to creating the relevant upper relation. (Well, actually they still can, but it's on their own heads how well it works.) Instead, adopt the same API already designed for create_upper_paths_hook: we call GetForeignUpperPaths after each upperrel has been created and populated with the paths the core planner knows how to make.
2016-07-01Set consider_parallel correctly for upper planner rels.Robert Haas
Commit 3fc6e2d7f5b652b417fa6937c34de2438d60fa9f introduced new "upper" RelOptInfo structures but didn't set consider_parallel for them correctly, a point I completely missed when reviewing it. Later, commit e06a38965b3bcdaa881e7e06892d4d8ab6c2c980 made the situation worse by doing it incorrectly for the grouping relation. Try to straighten all of that out. Along the way, get rid of the annoying wholePlanParallelSafe flag, which was only necessarily because of the fact that upper planning stages didn't use paths at the time that code was written. The most important immediate impact of these changes is that force_parallel_mode will provide useful test coverage in quite a few more scenarios than it did previously, but it's also necessary preparation for fixing some problems related to subqueries. Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane.
2016-07-01Be more paranoid in ruleutils.c's get_variable().Tom Lane
We were merely Assert'ing that the Var matched the RTE it's supposedly from. But if the user passes incorrect information to pg_get_expr(), the RTE might in fact not match; this led either to Assert failures or core dumps, as reported by Chris Hanks in bug #14220. To fix, just convert the Asserts to test-and-elog. Adjust an existing test-and-elog elsewhere in the same function to be consistent in wording. (If we really felt these were user-facing errors, we might promote them to ereport's; but I can't convince myself that they're worth translating.) Back-patch to 9.3; the problematic code doesn't exist before that, and a quick check says that 9.2 doesn't crash on such cases.
