2022-06-08Fix portability issue in TAP tests of psql for localesMichael Paquier
Some locales use a comma as decimal separator (like Czech or French), and psql's 001_basic.pl for \timing was not able to handle that properly. This fixes the matching regexes to be able to handle both comma and dot as possible decimal separators, as per a suggestion from Andrew Dunstan. psql tests were the only place with such a portability issue (check-world passed here with a forced LANG/LANGUAGE). These tests are new as of c0280bc, so there is no need for a backpatch. Reported-by: Pavel Stehule Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFj8pRBz8iQmd2aOaCLvO-rJY6vZr-h6Q0qvV0J+yb78J7uiaA@mail.gmail.com
2022-06-08Restructure pg_upgrade output directories for better idempotenceMichael Paquier
38bfae3 has moved the contents written to files by pg_upgrade under a new directory called pg_upgrade_output.d/ located in the new cluster's data folder, and it used a simple structure made of two subdirectories leading to a fixed structure: log/ and dump/. This design has made weaker pg_upgrade on repeated calls, as we could get failures when creating one or more of those directories, while potentially losing the logs of a previous run (logs are retained automatically on failure, and cleaned up on success unless --retain is specified). So a user would need to clean up pg_upgrade_output.d/ as an extra step for any repeated calls of pg_upgrade. The most common scenario here is --check followed by the actual upgrade, but one could see a failure when specifying an incorrect input argument value. Removing entirely the logs would have the disadvantage of removing all the past information, even if --retain was specified at some past step. This result is annoying for a lot of users and automated upgrade flows. So, rather than requiring a manual removal of pg_upgrade_output.d/, this redesigns the set of output directories in a more dynamic way, based on a suggestion from Tom Lane and Daniel Gustafsson. pg_upgrade_output.d/ is still the base path, but a second directory level is added, mostly named after an ISO-8601-formatted timestamp (in short human-readable, with milliseconds appended to the name to avoid any conflicts). The logs and dumps are saved within the same subdirectories as previously, as of log/ and dump/, but these are located inside the subdirectory named after the timestamp. The logs of a given run are removed only after a successful run if --retain is not used, and pg_upgrade_output.d/ is kept if there are any logs from a previous run. Note that previously, pg_upgrade would have kept the logs even after a successful --check but that was inconsistent compared to the case without --check when using --retain. The code in charge of the removal of the output directories is now refactored into a single routine. Two TAP tests are added with some --check commands (one failure case and one success case), to look after the issue fixed here. Note that the tests had to be tweaked a bit to fit with the new directory structure so as it can find any logs generated on failure. This is still going to require a change in the buildfarm client for the case where pg_upgrade is tested without the TAP test, though, but I'll tackle that with a separate patch where needed.

2022-06-08Harden Memoization code against broken data typesDavid Rowley
Bug #17512 highlighted that a suitably broken data type could cause the backend to crash if either the hash function or equality function were in someway non-deterministic based on their input values. Such a data type could cause a crash of the backend due to some code which assumes that we'll always find a hash table entry corresponding to an item in the Memoize LRU list. Here we remove the assumption that we'll always find the entry corresponding to the given LRU list item and add run-time checks to verify we have found the given item in the cache. This is not a fix for bug #17512, but it will turn the crash reported by that bug report into an internal ERROR.

2022-06-07Fix off-by-one loop termination condition in pg_stat_get_subscription().Tom Lane
pg_stat_get_subscription scanned one more LogicalRepWorker array entry than is really allocated. In the worst case this could lead to SIGSEGV, if the LogicalRepCtx data structure is near the end of shared memory. That seems quite unlikely though (thanks to the ordering of calls in CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores) and we've heard no field reports of it. A more likely misbehavior is one row of garbage data in the function's result, but even that is not real likely because of the check that the pid field matches some live backend. Report and fix by Kuntal Ghosh. This bug is old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAGz5QCJykEDzW6jQK6Yz7Qh_PMtD=95de_7QoocbVR2Qy8hWZA@mail.gmail.com

2022-06-06Don't fail on libpq-generated error reports in ecpg_raise_backend().Tom Lane
An error PGresult generated by libpq itself, such as a report of connection loss, won't have broken-down error fields. ecpg_raise_backend() blithely assumed that PG_DIAG_MESSAGE_PRIMARY would always be present, and would end up passing a NULL string pointer to snprintf when it isn't. That would typically crash before 3779ac62d, and it would fail to provide a useful error report in any case. Best practice is to substitute PQerrorMessage(conn) in such cases, so do that.

2022-06-06Fix psql's single transaction mode on client-side errors with -c/-f switchesMichael Paquier
psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already applied in the backend. This commit makes the behavior more consistent, by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error happens in any of them. Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that. Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is what the original report is about.

2022-06-04Automatically count the number of output lines in psql/help.c.Tom Lane
The hard-wired PageOutput arguments in usage() and sibling functions have been a perennial maintenance gotcha, and there's no reason to think we'll ever get any better about that. Let's get rid of those magic constants by constructing the output in a buffer where we can count the newlines before calling PageOutput. (Perhaps this is microscopically slower; but none of these functions are performance critical, and anyway we might well be buying back all the cost by avoiding having to pass most of the data through snprintf.c. I could not detect any speed difference in a desultory check.) This also gets rid of the need to assume that platform-specific variations in the output are insignificant. While at it, make the code shorter and more abstract by inventing helper macros HELP0() and HELPN() to encapsulate the specific output actions being invoked.

2022-06-04Force run of pg_upgrade in the build directory in its TAP testMichael Paquier
TAP tests are run from their own directory in the source tree, and in a VPATH build the execution of the pg_upgrade command was leaving behind a file in the source tree, that should be left untouched. In order to avoid this issue, the test moves to PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::tmp_check, so as any files generated by pg_upgrade do not impact the source tree, but the build tree. This has as nice side-effect to make unnessary the presence of such files in pg_upgrade's .gitignore and Makefile. This strategy is similar to psql's test 010_tab_completion.pl, though the reasons behind this choice are different. In passing, fix one misleading test name that was added by 99f6f19.

2022-06-02Prohibit combining publications with different column lists.Amit Kapila
Currently, we simply combine the column lists when publishing tables on multiple publications and that can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior. Say, if a column is published in any row-filtered publication, then the values for that column are sent to the subscriber even for rows that don't match the row filter, as long as the row matches the row filter for any other publication, even if that other publication doesn't include the column. The main purpose of introducing a column list is to have statically different shapes on publisher and subscriber or hide sensitive column data. In both cases, it doesn't seem to make sense to combine column lists. So, we disallow the cases where the column list is different for the same table when combining publications. It can be later extended to combine the column lists for selective cases where required.

2022-05-31Revert changes to CONCURRENTLY that "sped up" Xmin advanceAlvaro Herrera
This reverts commit d9d076222f5b "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations with CONCURRENTLY". These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index creation. Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them. This is not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely occur. In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of corrupting the resulting index. Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes away. We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy fix. Backpatch to 14, where this change appeared.

2022-05-30Make STRING an unreserved_keyword.Tom Lane
Commit 1a36bc9db (SQL/JSON query functions) introduced STRING as a type_func_name_keyword, thereby breaking applications that use "string" as a table name, column name, function parameter name, etc. That seems like a pretty bad thing, not least because the SQL spec says that STRING is an unreserved keyword. This is easy enough to fix so far as the core grammar is concerned. However, doing so causes some ECPG test cases to fail, specifically those that use "string" as a typedef name. It turns out this is because portions of the ECPG grammar allow type_func_name_keywords but not unreserved_keywords as typedef names. That's pretty horrid, and it's mildly astonishing that we've not heard complaints about it before. We can fix two of those uses trivially, but the ones in the var_type production are less easy.

Second, the use of SubTransGetTopmostTransaction() for the caching has a limited impact on performance. SubTransGetParent() could have more impact, though the benchmarking of the single-item approach still needs to be proved, particularly under the conditions where SLRU lookups are stressed in parallel with overflowed snapshots (aka more than 64 subxids generated, for example).

9d9c02ccd added code to allow the executor to take shortcuts when quals on monotonic window functions guaranteed that once the qual became false it could never become true again. When possible, baserestrictinfo quals are converted to become these quals, which we call run conditions. Unfortunately, in 9d9c02ccd, I forgot to update remove_unused_subquery_outputs to teach it about these run conditions. This could cause a WindowFunc column which was unused in the target list but referenced by an upper-level WHERE clause to be removed from the subquery when the qual in the WHERE clause was converted into a window run condition. Because of this, the entire WindowClause would be removed from the query resulting in additional rows making it into the resultset when they should have been filtered out by the WHERE clause. Here we fix this by recording which target list items in the subquery have run conditions. That gets passed along to remove_unused_subquery_outputs to tell it not to remove these items from the target list.

In particular a client running as root used to be able to read someone else's key file; and having seen that I suspect that there are other, less-dubious use cases that this restriction breaks on some platforms. We don't really need an ownership check, since if we can read the key file despite its having restricted permissions, it must have the right ownership --- under normal conditions anyway, and the point of this patch is that any additional corner cases where that works should be deemed allowable, as they have been historically. Hence, just drop the ownership check, and rearrange the permissions check to get rid of its faulty assumption that geteuid() can't be zero. (Note that the comparable backend-side code doesn't have to cater for geteuid() == 0, since the server rejects that very early on.) This does have the end result that the permissions safety check used for a root user's private key file is weaker than that used for anyone else's. While odd, root really ought to know what she's doing with file permissions, so I think this is acceptable. Per report from Yogendra Suralkar. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/MW3PR15MB3931DF96896DC36D21AFD47CA3D39@MW3PR15MB3931.namprd15.prod.outlook.com

2022-05-26Avoid ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR in oracle_compat.c functions.Tom Lane
repeat() checked for integer overflow during its calculation of the required output space, but it just passed the resulting integer to palloc(). This meant that result sizes between 1GB and 2GB led to ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR, "invalid memory alloc request size" rather than ERRCODE_PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, "requested length too large". That seems like a bit of a wart, so add an explicit AllocSizeIsValid check to make these error cases uniform. Do likewise in the sibling functions lpad() etc. While we're here, also modernize their overflow checks to use pg_mul_s32_overflow() etc instead of expensive divisions. Per complaint from Japin Li. This is basically cosmetic, so I don't feel a need to back-patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ME3P282MB16676ED32167189CB0462173B6D69@ME3P282MB1667.AUSP282.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM
