2022-01-10Doc: fix bogus example about ambiguous timestamps.Tom Lane
I had a brain fade in commit d32899157, and used 2:30AM as the example timestamp for both spring-forward and fall-back cases. But it's not actually ambiguous at all in the fall-back case, because that transition is from 2AM to 1AM under USA rules. Fix the example to use 1:30AM, which *is* ambiguous. Noted while answering a question from Aleksander Alekseev. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2191355.1641828552@sss.pgh.pa.us

2022-01-08Fix results of index-only scans on btree_gist char(N) indexes.Tom Lane
If contrib/btree_gist is used to make a GIST index on a char(N) (bpchar) column, and that column is retrieved via an index-only scan, what came out had all trailing spaces removed. Since that doesn't happen in any other kind of table scan, this is clearly a bug. The cause is that gbt_bpchar_compress() strips trailing spaces (using rtrim1) before a new index entry is made. That was probably a good idea when this code was first written, but since we invented index-only scans, it's not so good. One answer could be to mark this opclass as incapable of index-only scans. But to do so, we'd need an extension module version bump, followed by manual action by DBAs to install the updated version of btree_gist. And it's not really a desirable place to end up, anyway. Instead, let's fix the code by removing the unwanted space-stripping action and adjusting the opclass's comparison logic to ignore trailing spaces as bpchar normally does. This will not hinder cases that work today, since index searches with this logic will act the same whether trailing spaces are stored or not. It will not by itself fix the problem of getting space-stripped results from index-only scans, of course. Users who care about that can REINDEX affected indexes after installing this update, to immediately replace all improperly-truncated index entries. Otherwise, it can be expected that the index's behavior will change incrementally as old entries are replaced by new ones. Per report from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-01-08Fix issues with describe queries of extended statistics in psqlMichael Paquier
This addresses some problems in the describe queries used for extended statistics: - Two schema qualifications for the text type were missing for \dX. - The list of extended statistics listed for a table through \d was ordered based on the object OIDs, but it is more consistent with the other commands to order by namespace and then by object name. - A couple of aliases were not used in \d.

2022-01-06Prevent altering partitioned table's rowtype, if it's used elsewhere.Tom Lane
We disallow altering a column datatype within a regular table, if the table's rowtype is used as a column type elsewhere, because we lack code to go around and rewrite the other tables.

2022-01-05Reduce relcache access in WAL sender streaming logical changesMichael Paquier
get_rel_sync_entry(), which is called each time a change needs to be logically replicated, is a rather hot code path in the WAL sender sending logical changes. This code path was doing a relcache access on relkind and relpartition for each logical change, but we only need to know this information when building or re-building the cached information for a relation. Some measurements prove that this is noticeable in perf profiles, particularly when attempting to replicate changes from relations that are not published as these cause less overhead in the WAL sender, delaying further the replication of changes for relations that are published.

Under concurrency, it is possible for two sessions to be merrily locking and releasing a tuple and marking it again as HEAP_XMAX_INVALID all the while a third session attempts to lock it, miserably fails at it, and then contemplates life, the universe and everything only to eventually fail an assertion that said bit is not set.

2022-01-03Fix index-only scan plans, take 2.Tom Lane
Commit 4ace45677 failed to fix the problem fully, because the same issue of attempting to fetch a non-returnable index column can occur when rechecking the indexqual after using a lossy index operator. Moreover, it broke EXPLAIN for such indexquals (which indicates a gap in our test cases :-(). Revert the code changes of 4ace45677 in favor of adding a new field to struct IndexOnlyScan, containing a version of the indexqual that can be executed against the index-returned tuple without using any non-returnable columns. (The restrictions imposed by check_index_only guarantee this is possible, although we may have to recompute indexed expressions.) Support construction of that during setrefs.c processing by marking IndexOnlyScan.indextlist entries as resjunk if they can't be returned, rather than removing them entirely. (We could alternatively require setrefs.c to look up the IndexOptInfo again, but abusing resjunk this way seems like a reasonably safe way to avoid needing to do that.) This solution isn't great from an API-stability standpoint: if there are any extensions out there that build IndexOnlyScan structs directly, they'll be broken in the next minor releases. However, only a very invasive extension would be likely to do such a thing. There's no change in the Path representation, so typical planner extensions shouldn't have a problem.

2022-01-01Fix index-only scan plans when not all index columns can be returned.Tom Lane
If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable column as intended. To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns. This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns. This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's possible to construct failing examples without that, as per the added regression test. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches. Per bug #17350 from Louis Jachiet. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17350-b5bdcf476e5badbb@postgresql.org

2021-12-22Remove assertion for ALTER TABLE .. DETACH PARTITION CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier
One code path related to this flavor of ALTER TABLE was checking that the relation to detach has to be a normal table or a partitioned table, which would fail if using the command with a different relation kind. Views, sequences and materialized views cannot be part of a partition tree, so these would cause the command to fail anyway, but the assertion was triggered. Foreign tables can be part of a partition tree, and again the assertion would have failed. The simplest solution is just to remove this assertion, so as we get the same failure as the non-concurrent code path. While on it, add a regression test in postgres_fdw for the concurrent partition detach of a foreign table, as per a suggestion from Alexander Lakhin. Issue introduced in 71f4c8c.

2021-12-16Ensure casting to typmod -1 generates a RelabelType.Tom Lane
Fix the code changed by commit 5c056b0c2 so that we always generate RelabelType, not something else, for a cast to unspecified typmod. Otherwise planner optimizations might not happen. It appears we missed this point because the previous experiments were done on type numeric: the parser undesirably generates a call on the numeric() length-coercion function, but then numeric_support() optimizes that down to a RelabelType, so that everything seems fine. It misbehaves for types that have a non-optimized length coercion function, such as bpchar. Per report from John Naylor. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous patch eventually was. Unfortunately, that no longer includes 9.6 ... we really shouldn't put this type of change into a nearly-EOL branch.

2021-12-15Adjust behavior of some env settings for the TAP tests of MSVCMichael Paquier
edc2332 has introduced in vcregress.pl some control on the environment variables LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM to allow any TAP tests to be able use those commands. This makes the settings more consistent with src/Makefile.global.in, as the same default gets used for Make and MSVC builds. Each parameter can be changed in buildenv.pl, but as a default gets assigned after loading buldenv.pl, it is not possible to unset any of these, and using an empty value would not work with "||=" either. As some environments may not have a compatible command in their PATH (tar coming from MinGW is an issue, for one), this could break tests without an exit path to bypass any failing test. This commit changes things so as the default values for LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM are assigned before loading buildenv.pl, not after. This way, we keep the same amount of compatibility as a GNU build with the same defaults, and it becomes possible to unset any of those values. While on it, this adds some documentation about those three variables in the section dedicated to the TAP tests for MSVC. Per discussion with Andrew Dunstan.

2021-12-08Fix corruption of toast indexes with REINDEX CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY run on a toast index or a toast relation could corrupt the target indexes rebuilt, as a backend running in parallel that manipulates toast values would directly release the lock on the toast relation when its local operation is done, rather than releasing the lock once the transaction that manipulated the toast values committed. The fix done here is simple: we now hold a ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on the toast relation when saving or deleting a toast value until the transaction working on them is committed, so as a concurrent reindex happening in parallel would be able to wait for any activity and see any new rows inserted (or deleted). An isolation test is added to check after the case fixed here, which is a bit fancy by design as it relies on allow_system_table_mods to rename the toast table and its index to fixed names. This way, it is possible to reindex them directly without any dependency on the OID of the underlying relation. Note that this could not use a DO block either, as REINDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be run in a transaction block. The test is backpatched down to 13, where it is possible, thanks to c4a7a39, to use allow_system_table_mods in a test suite.

2021-12-02Move into separate file all the SQL queries used in pg_upgrade testsMichael Paquier
The existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding the same set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to adapt the objects created by the regression tests before the upgrade (mostly, incompatible or non-existing objects need to be dropped from the origin, perhaps re-created). This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set of \if clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version of the cluster to-be-upgraded. The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code re-use this new SQL file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility issues in the tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without having to poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle the main regression test suite, and that nothing is done yet for contrib modules yet (these have more issues like their database names).

Unfortunately, in the back branches this helps to only a limited extent, since the sinval message queue bloats quite a lot in this usage before commit 3aafc030a, consuming memory more or less comparable to what's actually leaked. Still, it's clearly a leak with a simple fix, so we might as well fix it.

2021-12-01Doc: Add "Attach Partition" limitation during logical replication.Amit Kapila
ATTACHing a table into a partition tree whose root is published using a publication with publish_via_partition_root set to true does not result in the table's existing contents being replicated. This happens because subscriber doesn't consider replicating the newly attached partition as the root table is already in a 'ready' state. This behavior was introduced in PG13 (83fd4532a7) where we allowed to publish partition changes via ancestors. We can consider fixing this limitation in the future.

2021-11-30Cope with cross-compiling when checking for a random-number source.Tom Lane
Commit 16f96c74d neglected to consider the possibility of cross-compiling, causing cross-compiles to fail at the configure stage unless you'd selected --with-openssl. Since we're now more or less assuming that /dev/urandom is available everywhere, it seems reasonable to assume that the cross-compile target has it too, rather than failing. Per complaint from Vincas Dargis. Back-patch to v14 where this came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/0dc14a31-acaf-8cae-0df4-a87339b22bd9@gmail.com
2021-11-30Fix compatibility thinko for fstat() on standard streams in win32stat.cMichael Paquier
GetFinalPathNameByHandleA() cannot be used in compilation environments where _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0600, meaning at least Windows XP used by some buildfarm members under MinGW that Postgres still needs to support. This was reported as a compilation warning by the buildfarm, but this is actually worse than the report as the code would have not worked. Instead, this switches to GetFileInformationByHandle() that is able to fail for standard streams and succeed for redirected ones, which is what we are looking for herein the code emulating fstat(). We also know that it is able to work in all the environments still supported, thanks to the existing logic of win32stat.c. Issue introduced by 10260c7, so backpatch down to 14.

2021-11-29Doc: improve documentation about ORDER BY in matviews.Tom Lane
Remove the confusing use of ORDER BY in an example materialized view. It adds nothing to the example, but might encourage people to follow bad practice. Clarify REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW's note about whether view ordering is retained (it isn't).

2021-11-26Fix determination of broken LSN in OVERWRITTEN_CONTRECORDAlvaro Herrera
In commit ff9f111bce24 I mixed up inconsistent definitions of the LSN of the first record in a page, when the previous record ends exactly at the page boundary. The correct LSN is adjusted to skip the WAL page header; I failed to use that when setting XLogReaderState->overwrittenRecPtr, so at WAL replay time VerifyOverwriteContrecord would refuse to let replay continue past that record. Backpatch to 10. 9.6 also contains this bug, but it's no longer being maintained. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/45597.1637694259@sss.pgh.pa.us
2021-11-26Fix GRANTED BY support in REVOKE ROLE statementsDaniel Gustafsson
Commit 6aaaa76bb added support for the GRANTED BY clause in GRANT and REVOKE statements, but missed adding support for checking the role in the REVOKE ROLE case. Fix by checking that the parsed role matches the CURRENT_ROLE/CURRENT_USER requirement, and also add some tests for it. Backpatch to v14 where GRANTED BY support was introduced.
