form '^(foo)$'. Before, these could never be optimized into indexscans.
The recent changes to make psql and pg_dump generate such patterns (for \d
commands and -t and related switches, respectively) therefore represented
a big performance hit for people with large pg_class catalogs, as seen in
recent gripe from Erik Jones. While at it, be more paranoid about
case-sensitivity checking in multibyte encodings, and fix some other
corner cases in which a regex might be interpreted too liberally.

ps_TupFromTlist in plan nodes that make use of it. This was being done
correctly in join nodes and Result nodes but not in any relation-scan nodes.
Bug would lead to bogus results if a set-returning function appeared in the
targetlist of a subquery that could be rescanned after partial execution,
for example a subquery within EXISTS(). Bug has been around forever :-(
... surprising it wasn't reported before.

locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction
overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost. It seems
unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...

immutable, because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding
oversight. We cannot force initdb for this in the back branches, but we can
at least provide correct catalog entries for future installations.

(in particular, causing the ReadyForQuery message to be eaten) before
returning from do_copy. The only known consequence of failing to do so is
that get_prompt might show a wrong result for the %x transaction status
escape, as reported by Bernd Helmle; but it's possible there are other issues.
Back-patch as far as 7.4, the oldest version supporting %x.

cause any serious harm in normal cases, but if you have gcc buffer overrun
checking turned on, that will notice. Found by Jack Orenstein. Problem
was already fixed in CVS HEAD.

any no-longer-needed segments; just truncate them to zero bytes and leave
the files in place for possible future re-use. This avoids problems when
the segments are re-used due to relation growth shortly after truncation.
Before, the bgwriter, and possibly other backends, could still be holding
open file references to the old segment files, and would write dirty blocks
into those files where they'd disappear from the view of other processes.
Back-patch as far as 8.0. I believe the 7.x branches are not vulnerable,
because they had no bgwriter, and "blind" writes by other backends would
always be done via freshly-opened file references.

preference for filling pages out-of-order tends to confuse the sanity checks
in md.c, as per report from Balazs Nagy in bug #2737. The fix is to ensure
that the smgr-level code always has the same idea of the logical EOF as the
hash index code does, by using ReadBuffer(P_NEW) where we are adding a single
page to the end of the index, and using smgrextend() to reserve a large batch
of pages when creating a new splitpoint. The patch is a bit ugly because it
avoids making any changes in md.c, which seems the most prudent approach for a
backpatchable beta-period fix. After 8.3 development opens, I'll take a look
at a cleaner but more invasive patch, in particular getting rid of the now
unnecessary hack to allow reading beyond EOF in mdread().
Backpatch as far as 7.4. The bug likely exists in 7.3 as well, but because
of the magnitude of the 7.3-to-7.4 changes in hash, the later-version patch
doesn't even begin to apply. Given the other known bugs in the 7.3-era hash
code, it does not seem worth trying to develop a separate patch for 7.3.

sub-arrays. Per discussion, if all inputs are empty arrays then result
must be an empty array too, whereas a mix of empty and nonempty arrays
should (and already did) draw an error. In the back branches, the
construct was strict: any NULL input immediately yielded a NULL output;
so I left that behavior alone. HEAD was simply ignoring NULL sub-arrays,
which doesn't seem very sensible. For lack of a better idea it now
treats NULL sub-arrays the same as empty ones.

_bt_pagedel to recover from the failure: just search the whole parent level
if searching to the right fails. This does nothing for the underlying problem
that index keys became out-of-order in the grandparent level. However, we
believe that there is no other consequence worse than slightly inefficient
searching, so this narrow patch seems like the safest solution for the back
branches.

sin_port in the returned IP address struct when servname is NULL. This has
been observed to cause failure to bind the stats collection socket, and
could perhaps cause other issues too. Per reports from Brad Nicholson
and Chris Browne.

1) pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket(): WaitForMultipleObjectsEx now called with
finite timeout (100ms) in case of FP_WRITE and UDP socket. If timeout occurs
then pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() tries to write empty packet goes to
WaitForMultipleObjectsEx again.
2) pgwin32_send(): add loop around WSASend and pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket().
The reason is: for overlapped socket, 'ok' result from
pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() isn't guarantee that socket is still free,
it can become busy again and following WSASend call will fail with
WSAEWOULDBLOCK error.

rows --- if the surrounding query queued any trigger events between the rows,
the events would be fired at the wrong time, leading to bizarre behavior.
Per report from Merlin Moncure.
This is a simple patch that should solve the problem fully in the back
branches, but in HEAD we also need to consider the possibility of queries
with RETURNING clauses. Will look into a fix for that separately.

I introduced in 7.4.1 :-(. It's correct to allow unknown to be coerced to
ANY or ANYELEMENT, since it's a real-enough data type, but it most certainly
isn't an array datatype. This can cause a backend crash but AFAICT is not
exploitable as a security hole. Per report from Michael Fuhr.
Note: as fixed in HEAD, this changes a constant in the pg_stats view,
resulting in a change in the expected regression outputs. The back-branch
patches have been hacked to avoid that, so that pre-existing installations
won't start failing their regression tests.

attislocal = true, since they are not really inherited but merely copied
from the original table. I'm not sure if there are any cases where it makes
a real difference given the existing uses of the flag, but wrong is wrong.
This was fixed in passing in HEAD by the LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS patch,
but never back-patched.
|

Formerly they'd emit '^foo|bar$' which is wrong because the anchors are
parsed as part of the alternatives; must emit '^(foo|bar)$' to get expected
behavior. Same as bug found previously in similar_escape(). Already fixed
in HEAD, this is just back-porting the part of that patch that was a bug fix.

tried a variant file from resultmap and it didn't match. This is already done
in HEAD's C-code version, and is needed because OpenBSD has recently migrated
to a more standard handling of float underflow --- see buildfarm results
from emu.

quote chars inside quote marks, should emit one quote *and stay in inquotes
mode*. No doubt the lack of reports of this have something to do with the
poor documentation of the feature ...

overlapping possible matches for the separator string, such as
string_to_array('123xx456xxx789', 'xx').
Also, revise the logic of replace(), split_part(), and string_to_array()
to avoid O(N^2) work from redundant searches and conversions to pg_wchar
format when there are N matches to the separator string.
Backpatched the full patch as far as 8.0. 7.4 also has the bug, but the
code has diverged a lot, so I just went for a quick-and-dirty fix of the
bug itself in that branch.

been initialized yet. This can happen because there are code paths that call
SysCacheGetAttr() on a tuple originally fetched from a different syscache
(hopefully on the same catalog) than the one specified in the call. It
doesn't seem useful or robust to try to prevent that from happening, so just
improve the function to cope instead. Per bug#2678 from Jeff Trout. The
specific example shown by Jeff is new in 8.1, but to be on the safe side
I'm backpatching 8.0 as well. We could patch 7.x similarly but I think
that's probably overkill, given the lack of evidence of old bugs of this ilk.

various sockets - should fix the occasional stats test regression failures we see.
|
|
EINTR; the stats code was failing to do this and so were a couple of places
in the postmaster. The stats code assumed that recv() could not return EINTR
if a preceding select() showed the socket to be read-ready, but this is
demonstrably false with our Windows implementation of recv(), and it may
not be the case on all Unix variants either. I think this explains the
intermittent stats regression test failures we've been seeing, as well
as reports of stats collector instability under high load on Windows.
Backpatch as far as 8.0.

violating its constraint (possibly there are other cases too). Per report

I finally found some time to debug this, and I think I found a better
patch than the one you proposed. Mine is still hackish and is still a
workaround around a proper quoting solution, but at least it repairs
the parsing without introducing the \' quoting again.
I consider this a band-aid patch to fix the recent security update.
PostgreSQL gurus, would you consider applying this until a better
solution is found for DBMirror.pl?
