2014-12-12Revert misguided change to postgres_fdw FOR UPDATE/SHARE code.Tom Lane
In commit 462bd95705a0c23ba0b0ba60a78d32566a0384c1, I changed postgres_fdw to rely on get_plan_rowmark() instead of get_parse_rowmark(). I still think that's a good idea in the long run, but as Etsuro Fujita pointed out, it doesn't work today because planner.c forces PlanRowMarks to have markType = ROW_MARK_COPY for all foreign tables. There's no urgent reason to change this in the back branches, so let's just revert that part of yesterday's commit rather than trying to design a better solution under time pressure. Also, add a regression test case showing what postgres_fdw does with FOR UPDATE/SHARE. I'd blithely assumed there was one already, else I'd have realized yesterday that this code didn't work.
2014-12-11Fix planning of SELECT FOR UPDATE on child table with partial index.Tom Lane
Ordinarily we can omit checking of a WHERE condition that matches a partial index's condition, when we are using an indexscan on that partial index. However, in SELECT FOR UPDATE we must include the "redundant" filter condition in the plan so that it gets checked properly in an EvalPlanQual recheck. The planner got this mostly right, but improperly omitted the filter condition if the index in question was on an inheritance child table. In READ COMMITTED mode, this could result in incorrectly returning just-updated rows that no longer satisfy the filter condition. The cause of the error is using get_parse_rowmark() when get_plan_rowmark() is what should be used during planning. In 9.3 and up, also fix the same mistake in contrib/postgres_fdw. It's currently harmless there (for lack of inheritance support) but wrong is wrong, and the incorrect code might get copied to someplace where it's more significant. Report and fix by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-12-11Fix corner case where SELECT FOR UPDATE could return a row twice.Tom Lane
In READ COMMITTED mode, if a SELECT FOR UPDATE discovers it has to redo WHERE-clause checking on rows that have been updated since the SELECT's snapshot, it invokes EvalPlanQual processing to do that. If this first occurs within a non-first child table of an inheritance tree, the previous coding could accidentally re-return a matching row from an earlier, already-scanned child table. (And, to add insult to injury, I think this could make it miss returning a row that should have been returned, if the updated row that this happens on should still have passed the WHERE qual.) Per report from Kyotaro Horiguchi; the added isolation test is based on his test case. This has been broken for quite awhile, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-12-11Fix assorted confusion between Oid and int32.Tom Lane
In passing, also make some debugging elog's in pgstat.c a bit more consistently worded. Back-patch as far as applicable (9.3 or 9.4; none of these mistakes are really old). Mark Dilger identified and patched the type violations; the message rewordings are mine.

2014-12-10Fix minor thinko in convertToJsonb().Tom Lane
The amount of space to reserve for the value's varlena header is VARHDRSZ, not sizeof(VARHDRSZ). The latter coding accidentally failed to fail because of the way the VARHDRSZ macro is currently defined; but if we ever change it to return size_t (as one might reasonably expect it to do), convertToJsonb() would have failed. Spotted by Mark Dilger.
2014-12-05Give a proper error message if initdb password file is empty.Heikki Linnakangas
Used to say just "could not read password from file "...": Success", which isn't very informative. Mats Erik Andersson. Backpatch to all supported versions.
2014-12-05Print wal_log_hints in the rm_desc routing of a parameter-change record.Heikki Linnakangas
It was an oversight in the original commit. Also note in the sample config file that changing wal_log_hints requires a restart. Michael Paquier. Backpatch to 9.4, where wal_log_hints was added.
2014-12-04Fix PGXS vpath build when PostgreSQL is built with vpathPeter Eisentraut
PGXS computes srcdir from VPATH, PostgreSQL proper computes VPATH from srcdir, and doing both results in an error from make. Conditionalize so only one of these takes effect.
2014-12-04Remove USE_VPATH make variable from PGXSPeter Eisentraut
The user can just set VPATH directly. There is no need to invent another variable.
2014-12-04Fix SHLIB_PREREQS use in contrib, allowing PGXS buildsPeter Eisentraut
dblink and postgres_fdw use SHLIB_PREREQS = submake-libpq to build libpq first. This doesn't work in a PGXS build, because there is no libpq to build. So just omit setting SHLIB_PREREQS in this case. Note that PGXS users can still use SHLIB_PREREQS (although it is not documented). The problem here is only that contrib modules can be built in-tree or using PGXS, and the prerequisite is only applicable in the former case. Commit 6697aa2bc25c83b88d6165340348a31328c35de6 previously attempted to address this by creating a somewhat fake submake-libpq target in Makefile.global. That was not the right fix, and it was also done in a nonportable way, so revert that.
2014-12-03Move PG_AUTOCONF_FILENAME definitionPeter Eisentraut
Since this is not something that a user should change, pg_config_manual.h was an inappropriate place for it. In initdb.c, remove the use of the macro, because utils/guc.h can't be included by non-backend code. But we hardcode all the other configuration file names there, so this isn't a disaster.

2014-12-02Improve error messages for malformed array input strings.Tom Lane
Make the error messages issued by array_in() uniformly follow the style ERROR: malformed array literal: "actual input string" DETAIL: specific complaint here and rewrite many of the specific complaints to be clearer. The immediate motivation for doing this is a complaint from Josh Berkus that json_to_record() produced an unintelligible error message when dealing with an array item, because it tries to feed the JSON-format array value to array_in(). Really it ought to be smart enough to perform JSON-to-Postgres array conversion, but that's a future feature not a bug fix. In the meantime, this change is something we agreed we could back-patch into 9.4, and it should help de-confuse things a bit.
2014-12-02Don't skip SQL backends in logical decoding for visibility computation.Andres Freund
The logical decoding patchset introduced PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING flag PGXACT flag, that allows such backends to be skipped when computing the xmin horizon/snapshots. That's fine and sensible for walsenders streaming out logical changes, but not at all fine for SQL backends doing logical decoding. If the latter set that flag any change they have performed outside of logical decoding will not be regarded as visible - which e.g. can lead to that change being vacuumed away. Note that not setting the flag for SQL backends isn't particularly bothersome - the SQL backend doesn't do streaming, so it only runs for a limited amount of time. Per buildfarm member 'tick' and Alvaro. Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.
2014-12-02Fix JSON aggregates to work properly when final function is re-executed.Tom Lane
Davide S. reported that json_agg() sometimes produced multiple trailing right brackets. This turns out to be because json_agg_finalfn() attaches the final right bracket, and was doing so by modifying the aggregate state in-place. That's verboten, though unfortunately it seems there's no way for nodeAgg.c to check for such mistakes. Fix that back to 9.3 where the broken code was introduced. In 9.4 and HEAD, likewise fix json_object_agg(), which had copied the erroneous logic. Make some cosmetic cleanups as well.
2014-12-01Guard against bad "dscale" values in numeric_recv().Tom Lane
We were not checking to see if the supplied dscale was valid for the given digit array when receiving binary-format numeric values. While dscale can validly be more than the number of nonzero fractional digits, it shouldn't be less; that case causes fractional digits to be hidden on display even though they're there and participate in arithmetic. Bug #12053 from Tommaso Sala indicates that there's at least one broken client library out there that sometimes supplies an incorrect dscale value, leading to strange behavior. This suggests that simply throwing an error might not be the best response; it would lead to failures in applications that might seem to be working fine today. What seems the least risky fix is to truncate away any digits that would be hidden by dscale. This preserves the existing behavior in terms of what will be printed for the transmitted value, while preventing subsequent arithmetic from producing results inconsistent with that. In passing, throw a specific error for the case of dscale being outside the range that will fit into a numeric's header. Before you got "value overflows numeric format", which is a bit misleading. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-12-01Fix hstore_to_json_loose's detection of valid JSON number values.Andrew Dunstan
We expose a function IsValidJsonNumber that internally calls the lexer for json numbers. That allows us to use the same test everywhere, instead of inventing a broken test for hstore conversions. The new function is also used in datum_to_json, replacing the code that is now moved to the new function. Backpatch to 9.3 where hstore_to_json_loose was introduced.

2014-11-30Fix minor bugs in commit 30bf4689a96cd283af33edcdd6b7210df3f20cd8 et al.Tom Lane
Coverity complained that the "else" added to fillPGconn() was unreachable, which it was. Remove the dead code. In passing, rearrange the tests so as not to bother trying to fetch values for options that can't be assigned. Pre-9.3 did not have that issue, but it did have a "return" that should be "goto oom_error" to ensure that a suitable error message gets filled in.
2014-11-29Remove PQhostaddr() from 9.4 release notes.Noah Misch
Back-patch to 9.4, like the feature's removal.
2014-11-29Reimplement 9f80f4835a55a1cbffcda5d23a617917f3286c14 with PQconninfo().Noah Misch
Apart from ignoring "hostaddr" set to the empty string, this behaves identically to its predecessor. Back-patch to 9.4, where the original commit first appeared. Reviewed by Fujii Masao.
2014-11-29Revert "Add libpq function PQhostaddr()."Noah Misch
This reverts commit 9f80f4835a55a1cbffcda5d23a617917f3286c14. The function returned the raw value of a connection parameter, a task served by PQconninfo(). The next commit will reimplement the psql \conninfo change that way. Back-patch to 9.4, where that commit first appeared.
2014-11-28Update transaction README for persistent multixactsAlvaro Herrera
Multixacts are now maintained during recovery, but the README didn't get the memo. Backpatch to 9.3, where the divergence was introduced.
2014-11-28Add tab-completion for ALTER TABLE ALTER CONSTRAINT in psql.Fujii Masao
Back-patch to 9.4 where ALTER TABLE ALTER CONSTRAINT was added. Michael Paquier, bug reported by Andrey Lizenko.
2014-11-28Make \watch respect the user's \pset null setting.Fujii Masao
Previously \watch always ignored the user's \pset null setting. \pset null setting should be ignored for \d and similar queries. For those, the code can reasonably have an opinion about what the presentation should be like, since it knows what SQL query it's issuing. This argument surely doesn't apply to \watch, so this commit makes \watch use the user's \pset null setting. Back-patch to 9.3 where \watch was added.
2014-11-28Mark response messages for translation in pg_isready.Fujii Masao
Back-patch to 9.3 where pg_isready was added. Mats Erik Andersson
2014-11-27Free libxml2/libxslt resources in a safer order.Tom Lane
Mark Simonetti reported that libxslt sometimes crashes for him, and that swapping xslt_process's object-freeing calls around to do them in reverse order of creation seemed to fix it. I've not reproduced the crash, but valgrind clearly shows a reference to already-freed memory, which is consistent with the idea that shutdown of the xsltTransformContext is trying to reference the already-freed stylesheet or input document. With this patch, valgrind is no longer unhappy. I have an inquiry in to see if this is a libxslt bug or if we're just abusing the library; but even if it's a library bug, we'd want to adjust our code so it doesn't fail with unpatched libraries. Back-patch to all supported branches, because we've been doing this in the wrong(?) order for a long time.
2014-11-25Allow "dbname" from connection string to be overridden in PQconnectDBParamsHeikki Linnakangas
If the "dbname" attribute in PQconnectDBParams contained a connection string or URI (and expand_dbname = TRUE), the database name from the connection string could not be overridden by a subsequent "dbname" keyword in the array. That was not intentional; all other options can be overridden. Furthermore, any subsequent "dbname" caused the connection string from the first dbname value to be processed again, overriding any values for the same options that were given between the connection string and the second dbname option. In the passing, clarify in the docs that only the first dbname option in the array is parsed as a connection string. Alex Shulgin. Backpatch to all supported versions.
2014-11-25Check return value of strdup() in libpq connection option parsing.Heikki Linnakangas
An out-of-memory in most of these would lead to strange behavior, like connecting to a different database than intended, but some would lead to an outright segfault. Alex Shulgin and me. Backpatch to all supported versions.
2014-11-22Fix mishandling of system columns in FDW queries.Tom Lane
postgres_fdw would send query conditions involving system columns to the remote server, even though it makes no effort to ensure that system columns other than CTID match what the remote side thinks. tableoid, in particular, probably won't match and might have some use in queries. Hence, prevent sending conditions that include non-CTID system columns. Also, create_foreignscan_plan neglected to check local restriction conditions while determining whether to set fsSystemCol for a foreign scan plan node. This again would bollix the results for queries that test a foreign table's tableoid. Back-patch the first fix to 9.3 where postgres_fdw was introduced. Back-patch the second to 9.2. The code is probably broken in 9.1 as well, but the patch doesn't apply cleanly there; given the weak state of support for FDWs in 9.1, it doesn't seem worth fixing. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Ashutosh Bapat, and somewhat modified by me
2014-11-19Improve documentation's description of JOIN clauses.Tom Lane
In bug #12000, Andreas Kunert complained that the documentation was misleading in saying "FROM T1 CROSS JOIN T2 is equivalent to FROM T1, T2". That's correct as far as it goes, but the equivalence doesn't hold when you consider three or more tables, since JOIN binds more tightly than comma. I added a <note> to explain this, and ended up rearranging some of the existing text so that the note would make sense in context. In passing, rewrite the description of JOIN USING, which was unnecessarily vague, and hadn't been helped any by somebody's reliance on markup as a substitute for clear writing. (Mostly this involved reintroducing a concrete example that was unaccountably removed by commit 032f3b7e166cfa28.) Back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-11-19Avoid file descriptor leak in pg_test_fsync.Robert Haas
This can cause problems on Windows, where files that are still open can't be unlinked. Jeff Janes
2014-11-19Fix bug in the test of file descriptor of current WAL file in pg_receivexlog.Fujii Masao
In pg_receivexlog, in order to check whether the current WAL file is being opened or not, its file descriptor has to be checked against -1 as an invalid value. But, oops, 7900e94 added the incorrect test checking the descriptor against 1. This commit fixes that bug. Back-patch to 9.4 where the bug was added. Spotted by Magnus Hagander
2014-11-19Fix pg_receivexlog --slot so that it doesn't prevent the server shutdown.Fujii Masao
When pg_receivexlog --slot is connecting to the server, at the shutdown of the server, walsender keeps waiting for the last WAL record to be replicated and flushed in pg_receivexlog. But previously pg_receivexlog issued sync command only when WAL file was switched. So there was the case where the last WAL was never flushed and walsender had to keep waiting infinitely. This caused the server shutdown to get stuck. pg_recvlogical handles this problem by calling fsync() when it receives the request of immediate reply from the server. That is, at shutdown, walsender sends the request, pg_recvlogical receives it, flushes the last WAL record, and sends the flush location back to the server. Since walsender can see that the last WAL record is successfully flushed, it can exit cleanly. This commit introduces the same logic as pg_recvlogical has, to pg_receivexlog. Back-patch to 9.4 where pg_receivexlog was changed so that it can use the replication slot. Original patch by Michael Paquier, rewritten by me. Bug report by Furuya Osamu.
2014-11-18Don't require bleeding-edge timezone data in timestamptz regression test.Tom Lane
The regression test cases added in commits b2cbced9e et al depended in part on the Russian timezone offset changes of Oct 2014. While this is of no particular concern for a default Postgres build, it was possible for a build using --with-system-tzdata to fail the tests if the system tzdata database wasn't au courant. Bjorn Munch and Christoph Berg both complained about this while packaging 9.4rc1, so we probably shouldn't insist on the system tzdata being up-to-date. Instead, make an equivalent test using a zone change that occurred in Venezuela in 2007. With this patch, the regression tests should pass using any tzdata set from 2012 or later. (I can't muster much sympathy for somebody using --with-system-tzdata on a machine whose system tzdata is more than three years out-of-date.)
2014-11-18Fix some bogus direct uses of realloc().Tom Lane
pg_dump/parallel.c was using realloc() directly with no error check. While the odds of an actual failure here seem pretty low, Coverity complains about it, so fix by using pg_realloc() instead. While looking for other instances, I noticed a couple of places in psql that hadn't gotten the memo about the availability of pg_realloc. These aren't bugs, since they did have error checks, but verbosely inconsistent code is not a good thing. Back-patch as far as 9.3. 9.2 did not have pg_dump/parallel.c, nor did it have pg_realloc available in all frontend code.

2014-11-17Fix WAL-logging of B-tree "unlink halfdead page" operation.Heikki Linnakangas
There was some confusion on how to record the case that the operation unlinks the last non-leaf page in the branch being deleted. _bt_unlink_halfdead_page set the "topdead" field in the WAL record to the leaf page, but the redo routine assumed that it would be an invalid block number in that case. This commit fixes _bt_unlink_halfdead_page to do what the redo routine expected. This code is new in 9.4, so backpatch there.

2014-11-15Fix initdb --sync-only to also sync tablespaces.Andres Freund
630cd14426dc added initdb --sync-only, for use by pg_upgrade, by just exposing the existing fsync code. That's wrong, because initdb so far had absolutely no reason to deal with tablespaces. Fix --sync-only by additionally explicitly syncing each of the tablespaces. Backpatch to 9.3 where --sync-only was introduced. Abhijit Menon-Sen and Andres Freund
2014-11-15Sync unlogged relations to disk after they have been reset.Andres Freund
Unlogged relations are only reset when performing a unclean restart. That means they have to be synced to disk during clean shutdowns. During normal processing that's achieved by registering a buffer's file to be fsynced at the next checkpoint when flushed. But ResetUnloggedRelations() doesn't go through the buffer manager, so nothing will force reset relations to disk before the next shutdown checkpoint. So just make ResetUnloggedRelations() fsync the newly created main forks to disk. Discussion: 20140912112246.GA4984@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch to 9.1 where unlogged tables were introduced. Abhijit Menon-Sen and Andres Freund
2014-11-15Ensure unlogged tables are reset even if crash recovery errors out.Andres Freund
Unlogged relations are reset at the end of crash recovery as they're only synced to disk during a proper shutdown. Unfortunately that and later steps can fail, e.g. due to running out of space. This reset was, up to now performed after marking the database as having finished crash recovery successfully. As out of space errors trigger a crash restart that could lead to the situation that not all unlogged relations are reset. Once that happend usage of unlogged relations could yield errors like "could not open file "...": No such file or directory". Luckily clusters that show the problem can be fixed by performing a immediate shutdown, and starting the database again. To fix, just call ResetUnloggedRelations(UNLOGGED_RELATION_INIT) earlier, before marking the database as having successfully recovered. Discussion: 20140912112246.GA4984@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch to 9.1 where unlogged tables were introduced. Abhijit Menon-Sen and Andres Freund
2014-11-14Document evaluation-order considerations for aggregate functions.Tom Lane

2014-11-14Allow interrupting GetMultiXactIdMembersAlvaro Herrera
This function has a loop which can lead to uninterruptible process "stalls" (actually infinite loops) when some bugs are triggered. Avoid that unpleasant situation by adding a check for interrupts in a place that shouldn't degrade performance in the normal case. Backpatch to 9.3. Older branches have an identical loop here, but the aforementioned bugs are only a problem starting in 9.3 so there doesn't seem to be any point in backpatching any further.
