2011-03-04In initialize_SSL, don't fail unnecessarily when home dir is unavailable.Tom Lane
Instead, just act as though the certificate file(s) are not present. There is only one case where this need be a hard failure condition: when sslmode is verify-ca or verify-full, not having a root cert file is an error. Change the logic so that we complain only in that case, and otherwise fall through cleanly. This is how it used to behave pre-9.0, but my patch 4ed4b6c54e5fab24ab2624d80e26f7546edc88ad of 2010-05-26 broke the case. Per report from Christian Kastner.
2011-03-02Correct mistaken claims about EXPLAIN ANALYZE's handling of triggers.Tom Lane
Time spent executing AFTER triggers is not included in the runtime of the associated ModifyTable node; in my patch of yesterday I confused queuing of these triggers with their actual execution. Spotted by Marko Tiikkaja.
2011-03-01Update discussion of EXPLAIN to reflect existence of ModifyTable nodes.Tom Lane
Back-patch to 9.0, since this was changed then.
2011-02-21Fix dangling-pointer problem in before-row update trigger processing.Tom Lane
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.
2011-02-18Fix parallel pg_restore to handle comments on POST_DATA items correctly.Tom Lane
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. Report and diagnosis by Arnd Hannemann.
2011-02-17Fix tsmatchsel() to account properly for null rows.Tom Lane
ts_typanalyze.c computes MCE statistics as fractions of the non-null rows, which seems fairly reasonable, and anyway changing it in released versions wouldn't be a good idea. But then ts_selfuncs.c has to account for that. Failure to do so results in overestimates in columns with a significant fraction of null documents. Back-patch to 8.4 where this stuff was introduced. Jesper Krogh
2011-02-16Fix bogus test for hypothetical indexes in get_actual_variable_range().Tom Lane
That function was supposing that indexoid == 0 for a hypothetical index, but that is not likely to be true in any non-toy implementation of an index adviser, since assigning a fake OID is the only way to know at EXPLAIN time which hypothetical index got selected. Fix by adding a flag to IndexOptInfo to mark hypothetical indexes. Back-patch to 9.0 where get_actual_variable_range() was added. Gurjeet Singh
2011-02-15Add CheckTableNotInUse calls in DROP TABLE and DROP INDEX.Tom Lane
Recent releases had a check on rel->rd_refcnt in heap_drop_with_catalog, but failed to cover the possibility of pending trigger events at DROP time. (Before 8.4 we didn't even check the refcnt.) When the trigger events were eventually fired, you'd get "could not open relation with OID nnn" errors, as in recent report from strk. Better to throw a suitable error when the DROP is attempted. Also add a similar check in DROP INDEX. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2011-02-13Clarify documentation for libpq's PQescapeBytea to mention the new hexBruce Momjian
format. Modify PQescapeStringConn() docs to be consisent with other escaping functions. Add mention problems with pre-9.0 versions of libpq using not understanding bytea hex format to the 9.0 release notes. Backpatch to 9.0 docs.
2011-02-09Fix improper matching of resjunk column names for FOR UPDATE in subselect.Tom Lane
Flattening of subquery range tables during setrefs.c could lead to the rangetable indexes in PlanRowMark nodes not matching up with the column names previously assigned to the corresponding resjunk ctid (resp. tableoid or wholerow) columns. Typical symptom would be either a "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple" error or an Assert failure. This wasn't a problem before 9.0 because we didn't support FOR UPDATE below the top query level, and so the final flattening could never renumber an RTE that was relevant to FOR UPDATE. Fix by using a plan-tree-wide unique number for each PlanRowMark to label the associated resjunk columns, so that the number need not change during flattening. Per report from David Johnston (though I'm darned if I can see how this got past initial testing of the relevant code). Back-patch to 9.0.

2011-02-01Undefine setlocale() macro on Win32Magnus Hagander
New versions of libintl redefine setlocale() to a macro which causes problems when the backend and libintl are linked against different versions of the runtime, which is often the case in msvc builds. Hiroshi Inoue, slightly updated comment by me
2011-02-01Create new errcode for recovery conflict caused by db drop on master.Simon Riggs
Previously reported as ERRCODE_ADMIN_SHUTDOWN, this case is now reported as ERRCODE_DATABASE_DROPPED. No message text change. Unlikely to happen on most servers, so low impact change to allow session poolers to correctly handle this situation. Tatsuo Ishii and Simon Riggs

All retryable conflict errors now have an error code that indicates that a retry is possible, correcting my incomplete fix of 2010/05/12 Tatsuo Ishii and Simon Riggs, input from Robert Haas and Florian Pflug
2011-01-30Make reduce_outer_joins() smarter about semijoins.Tom Lane
reduce_outer_joins() mistakenly treated a semijoin like a left join for purposes of deciding whether not-null constraints created by the join's quals could be passed down into the join's left-hand side (possibly resulting in outer-join simplification there). Actually, semijoin works like inner join for this purpose, ie, we do not need to see any rows that can't possibly satisfy the quals. Hence, two-line fix to treat semi and inner joins alike. Per observation by Andres Freund about a performance gripe from Yazan Suleiman. Back-patch to 8.4, since this oversight has been there since the current handling of semijoins was implemented.

2011-01-27Prevent buffer overrun while parsing an integer in a "query_int" value.Tom Lane
contrib/intarray's gettoken() uses a fixed-size buffer to collect an integer's digits, and did not guard against overrunning the buffer. This is at least a backend crash risk, and in principle might allow arbitrary code execution. The code didn't check for overflow of the integer value either, which while not presenting a crash risk was still bad. Thanks to Apple Inc's security team for reporting this issue and supplying the fix. Security: CVE-2010-4015
2011-01-27Don't include <asm/ia64regs.h> unnecessarily.Tom Lane
We only need that header when compiling with icc, since the gcc variant of ia64_get_bsp() uses in-line assembly code. Per report from Frank Brendel, the header doesn't exist on all IA64 platforms; so don't include it unless we need it.

2011-01-20Make ALTER TABLE revalidate uniqueness and exclusion constraints.Robert Haas
Failure to do so can lead to constraint violations. This was broken by commit 1ddc2703a936d03953657f43345460b9242bbed1 on 2010-02-07, so back-patch to 9.0. Noah Misch. Regression test by me.

2011-01-17Fix miscalculation of itemsafter in array_set_slice().Tom Lane
If the slice to be assigned to was before the existing array lower bound (requiring at least one null element to spring into existence to fill the gap), the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be copied from the old array's null bitmap. This could result in trashing the array's data area (as seen in bug #5840 from Karsten Loesing), or worse. This has been broken since we first allowed the behavior of assigning to non-adjacent slices, in 8.2. Back-patch to all affected versions.

2011-01-17Before exiting walreceiver, fsync() all the WAL received.Heikki Linnakangas
Otherwise WAL recovery will replay the un-flushed WAL after walreceiver has exited, which can lead to a non-recoverable standby if the system crashes hard at that point.
2011-01-13Fix the logic in libpqrcv_receive() to determine if there's any incoming dataHeikki Linnakangas
that can be read without blocking. It used to conclude that there isn't, even though there was data in the socket receive buffer. That lead walreceiver to flush the WAL after every received chunk, potentially causing big performance issues. Backpatch to 9.0, because the performance impact can be very significant.
2011-01-12Fix PlanRowMark/ExecRowMark structures to handle inheritance correctly.Tom Lane
In an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, each target table has its own subplan, because it might have a column set different from other targets. This means that the resjunk columns we add to support EvalPlanQual might be at different physical column numbers in each subplan. The EvalPlanQual rewrite I did for 9.0 failed to account for this, resulting in possible misbehavior or even crashes during concurrent updates to the same row, as seen in a recent report from Gordon Shannon. Revise the data structure so that we track resjunk column numbers separately for each subplan. I also chose to move responsibility for identifying the physical column numbers back to executor startup, instead of assuming that numbers derived during preprocess_targetlist would stay valid throughout subsequent massaging of the plan. That's a bit slower, so we might want to consider undoing it someday; but it would complicate the patch considerably and didn't seem justifiable in a bug fix that has to be back-patched to 9.0.

2010-12-29Improve pg_upgrade's checks for required executables.Tom Lane
Don't insist on pg_dumpall and psql being present in the old cluster, since they are not needed. Do insist on pg_resetxlog being present (in both old and new), since we need it. Also check for pg_config, but only in the new cluster. Remove the useless attempt to call pg_config in the old cluster; we don't need to know the old value of --pkglibdir. (In the case of a stripped-down migration installation there might be nothing there to look at anyway, so any future change that might reintroduce that need would have to be considered carefully.) Per my attempts to build a minimal previous-version installation to support pg_upgrade.
2010-12-28Avoid unexpected conversion overflow in planner for distant date values.Tom Lane
The "date" type supports a wider range of dates than int64 timestamps do. However, there is pre-int64-timestamp code in the planner that assumes that all date values can be converted to timestamp with impunity. Fortunately, what we really need out of the conversion is always a double (float8) value; so even when the date is out of timestamp's range it's possible to produce a sane answer. All we need is a code path that doesn't try to force the result into int64. Per trouble report from David Rericha. Back-patch to all supported versions. Although this is surely a corner case, there's not much point in advertising a date range wider than timestamp's if we will choke on such values in unexpected places.

2010-12-19Fix up handling of simple-form CASE with constant test expression.Tom Lane
eval_const_expressions() can replace CaseTestExprs with constants when the surrounding CASE's test expression is a constant. This confuses ruleutils.c's heuristic for deparsing simple-form CASEs, leading to Assert failures or "unexpected CASE WHEN clause" errors. I had put in a hack solution for that years ago (see commit 514ce7a331c5bea8e55b106d624e55732a002295 of 2006-10-01), but bug #5794 from Peter Speck shows that that solution failed to cover all cases. Fortunately, there's a much better way, which came to me upon reflecting that Peter's "CASE TRUE WHEN" seemed pretty redundant: we can "simplify" the simple-form CASE to the general form of CASE, by simply omitting the constant test expression from the rebuilt CASE construct. This is intuitively valid because there is no need for the executor to evaluate the test expression at runtime; it will never be referenced, because any CaseTestExprs that would have referenced it are now replaced by constants. This won't save a whole lot of cycles, since evaluating a Const is pretty cheap, but a cycle saved is a cycle earned. In any case it beats kluging ruleutils.c still further. So this patch improves const-simplification and reverts the previous change in ruleutils.c. Back-patch to all supported branches. The bug exists in 8.1 too, but it's out of warranty.
2010-12-19Fix erroneous parsing of tsquery input "... & !(subexpression) | ..."Tom Lane
After parsing a parenthesized subexpression, we must pop all pending ANDs and NOTs off the stack, just like the case for a simple operand. Per bug #5793. Also fix clones of this routine in contrib/intarray and contrib/ltree, where input of types query_int and ltxtquery had the same problem. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2010-12-16Remove optreset from src/port/ implementations of getopt and getopt_long.Tom Lane
We don't actually need optreset, because we can easily fix the code to ensure that it's cleanly restartable after having completed a scan over the argv array; which is the only case we need to restart in. Getting rid of it avoids a class of interactions with the system libraries and allows reversion of my change of yesterday in postmaster.c and postgres.c. Back-patch to 8.4. Before that the getopt code was a bit different anyway.
2010-12-15Fix up getopt() reset management so it works on recent mingw.Tom Lane
The mingw people don't appear to care about compatibility with non-GNU versions of getopt, so force use of our own copy of getopt on Windows. Also, ensure that we make use of optreset when using our own copy. Per report from Andrew Dunstan. Back-patch to all versions supported on Windows.
2010-12-15Fix contrib/seg's GiST picksplit method.Tom Lane
Fix the same size_alpha versus size_beta typo that was recently fixed in contrib/cube. Noted by Alexander Korotkov. Back-patch to all supported branches (there is a more invasive fix in HEAD).
