2012-10-07Bump up catalog vesion due to 64-bit large object API functionsTatsuo Ishii
addition.
2012-10-07Add API for 64-bit large object access. Now users can access up toTatsuo Ishii
4TB large objects (standard 8KB BLCKSZ case). For this purpose new libpq API lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. Also corresponding new backend functions lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. inv_api.c is changed to handle 64-bit offsets. Patch contributed by Nozomi Anzai (backend side) and Yugo Nagata (frontend side, docs, regression tests and example program). Reviewed by Kohei Kaigai. Committed by Tatsuo Ishii with minor editings.
2012-10-05Improve LDAP authentication documentationPeter Eisentraut
Use the terms "simple bind" and "search+bind" consistently do distinguish the two modes (better than first mode and second mode in any case). They were already used in some places, now it's just more prominent. Split up the list of options into one for common options and one for each mode, for clarity. Add configuration examples for either mode.

because it is not correct.
2012-10-05Fixed test for array boundary.Michael Meskes
Instead of continuing if the next character is not an array boundary get_data() used to continue only on finding a boundary so it was not able to read any element after the first.
2012-10-05Use the regular main processing loop also in walsenders.Heikki Linnakangas
The regular backend's main loop handles signal handling and error recovery better than the current WAL sender command loop does. For example, if the client hangs and a SIGTERM is received before starting streaming, the walsender will now terminate immediately, rather than hang until the connection times out.

Per testing of previous patch.
2012-10-04PL/pgSQL: rename gram.y to pl_gram.yPeter Eisentraut
This makes the naming inside plpgsql consistent and distinguishes the file from the backend's gram.y file. It will also allow easier refactoring of the bison make rules later on.
2012-10-04Remove redundant code for getnameinfo() replacementPeter Eisentraut
Our getnameinfo() replacement implementation in getaddrinfo.c failed unless NI_NUMERICHOST and NI_NUMERICSERV were given as flags, because it doesn't resolve host names, only numeric IPs. But per standard, when those flags are not given, an implementation can still degrade to not returning host names, so this restriction is unnecessary. When we remove it, we can eliminate some code in postmaster.c that apparently tried to work around that.
2012-10-04Make CREATE AGGREGATE complain if the initcond is invalid for the datatype.Tom Lane
The initial transition value is stored as a text string and not fed to the transition type's input function until runtime (so that values such as "now" don't get frozen at creation time). Previously, CREATE AGGREGATE didn't do anything with it but that, which meant that even erroneous values would be accepted and not complained of until the aggregate is used. This seems unhelpful, and it's confused at least one user, as in Rhys Stewart's recent report. It seems worth taking a few more cycles to invoke the input function and verify that the value is acceptable. We can't do this if the transition type is polymorphic, but in normal aggregates we know the actual transition type so we can call the right input function.
2012-10-04Fix parse location tracking for lists that can be empty.Tom Lane
The previous coding of the YYLLOC_DEFAULT macro behaved strangely for empty productions, assigning the previous nonterminal's location as the parse location of the result. The usefulness of that was (at best) debatable already, but the real problem is that in list-generating nonterminals like OptFooList: /* EMPTY */ { ... } | OptFooList Foo { ... } ; the initially-identified location would get copied up, so that even a nonempty list would be given a bogus parse location. Document how to work around that, and do so for OptSchemaEltList, so that the error condition just added for CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS produces a sane error cursor. So far as I can tell, there are currently no other cases where the situation arises, so we don't need other instances of this coding yet.
2012-10-04Fix permissions explanations in CREATE DATABASE and CREATE SCHEMA docs.Tom Lane
These reference pages still claimed that you have to be superuser to create a database or schema owned by a different role. That was true before 8.1, but it was changed in commits aa1110624c08298393dfce996f7b21809d98d3fd and f91370cd2faf1fd35a1ac74d84652a85ed841919 to allow assignment of ownership to any role you are a member of. However, at the time we were thinking of that primarily as a change to the ALTER OWNER rules, so the need to touch these two CREATE ref pages got missed.

2012-10-03Avoid planner crash/Assert failure with joins to unflattened subqueries.Tom Lane
examine_simple_variable supposed that any RTE_SUBQUERY rel it gets pointed at must have been planned already. However, this isn't a safe assumption because we must do selectivity estimation while generating indexscan paths, and that code might look at join clauses involving a rel that the loop in set_base_rel_sizes() hasn't reached yet. The simplest fix is to play dumb in such a situation, that is give up trying to extract any stats for the Var. This could possibly be improved by making a separate pass over the RTE list to plan each unflattened subquery before we start the main planning work --- but that would be pretty invasive and it doesn't seem worth it, for now at least. (We couldn't just break set_base_rel_sizes() into two loops: the prescan would need to handle all subquery rels in the query, not only those in the current join subproblem.) This bug was introduced in commit 1cb108efb0e60d87e4adec38e7636b6e8efbeb57, although I think that subsequent changes may have exposed it more than it was originally. Per bug #7580 from Maxim Boguk.
2012-10-03REASSIGN OWNED: consider grants on tablespaces, tooAlvaro Herrera
Apparently this was considered in the original code (see commit cec3b0a9) but I failed to notice that such entries would always be skipped by the database check at the start of the loop. Per bugs #7578 by Nikolay, #6116 by tushar.qa@gmail.com.

Backpatch to 9.2.
2012-10-02Work around unportable behavior of malloc(0) and realloc(NULL, 0).Tom Lane
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from Matthew Carrington. Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases, even though some of these functions were in place before that.
2012-10-02Refactor "ALTER some-obj SET SCHEMA" implementationAlvaro Herrera

2012-10-02Standardize naming of malloc/realloc/strdup wrapper functions.Tom Lane
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0. This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant enough to bother back-patching.)

2012-09-30Provide some static-assertion functionality on all compilers.Tom Lane
On reflection (especially after noticing how many buildfarm critters have __builtin_types_compatible_p but not _Static_assert), it seems like we ought to try a bit harder to make these macros do something everywhere. The initial cut at it would have been no help to code that is compiled only on platforms without _Static_assert, for instance; and in any case not all our contributors do their initial coding on the latest gcc version. Some googling about static assertions turns up quite a bit of prior art for making it work in compilers that lack _Static_assert. The method that seems closest to our needs involves defining a struct with a bit-field that has negative width if the assertion condition fails. There seems no reliable way to get the error message string to be output, but throwing a compile error with a confusing message is better than missing the problem altogether. In the same spirit, if we don't have __builtin_types_compatible_p we can at least insist that the variable have the same width as the type. This won't catch errors such as "wrong pointer type", but it's far better than nothing. In addition to changing the macro definitions, adjust a compile-time-constant Assert in contrib/hstore to use StaticAssertStmt, so we can get some buildfarm coverage on whether that macro behaves sanely or not. There's surely more places that could be converted, but this is the first one I came across.
2012-09-30Add infrastructure for compile-time assertions about variable types.Tom Lane
Currently, the macros only work with fairly recent gcc versions, but there is room to expand them to other compilers that have comparable features. Heavily revised and autoconfiscated version of a patch by Andres Freund.

2012-09-29Fix bugs in "restore.sql" script emitted in pg_dump tar output.Tom Lane
The tar output module did some very ugly and ultimately incorrect hacking on COPY commands to try to get them to work in the context of restoring a deconstructed tar archive. In particular, it would fail altogether for table names containing any upper-case characters, since it smashed the command string to lower-case before modifying it (and, just to add insult to injury, did that in a way that would fail in multibyte encodings). I don't see any particular value in being flexible about the case of the command keywords, since the string will just have been created by dumpTableData, so let's get rid of the whole case-folding thing. Also, it doesn't seem to meet the POLA for the script to restore data only in COPY mode, so add \i commands to make it have comparable behavior in --inserts mode. Noted while looking at the tar-output code in connection with Brian Weaver's patch.

2012-09-28Fix tar files emitted by pg_dump and pg_basebackup to be POSIX conformant.Tom Lane
Both programs got the "magic" string wrong, causing standard-conforming tar implementations to believe the output was just legacy tar format without any POSIX extensions. This doesn't actually matter that much, especially since pg_dump failed to fill the POSIX fields anyway, but still there is little point in emitting tar format if we can't be compliant with the standard. In addition, pg_dump failed to write the EOF marker correctly (there should be 2 blocks of zeroes not just one), pg_basebackup put the numeric group ID in the wrong place, and both programs had a pretty brain-dead idea of how to compute the checksum. Fix all that and improve the comments a bit. pg_restore is modified to accept either the correct POSIX-compliant "magic" string or the previous value. This part of the change will need to be back-patched to avoid an unnecessary compatibility break when a previous version tries to read tar-format output from 9.3 pg_dump. Brian Weaver and Tom Lane
