2025-03-26Use PG_MODULE_MAGIC_EXT in our installable shared libraries.Tom Lane
It seems potentially useful to label our shared libraries with version information, now that a facility exists for retrieving that. This patch labels them with the PG_VERSION string. There was some discussion about using semantic versioning conventions, but that doesn't seem terribly helpful for modules with no SQL-level presence; and for those that do have SQL objects, we typically expect them to support multiple revisions of the SQL definitions, so it'd still not be very helpful. I did not label any of src/test/modules/. It seems unnecessary since we don't install those, and besides there ought to be someplace that still provides test coverage for the original PG_MODULE_MAGIC macro.

2024-07-25Add argument names to the regexp_XXX functions.Tom Lane
This change allows these functions to be called using named-argument notation, which can be helpful for readability, particularly for the ones with many arguments. There was considerable debate about exactly which names to use, but in the end we settled on the names already shown in our documentation table 9.10. The citext extension provides citext-aware versions of some of these functions, so add argument names to those too. In passing, fix table 9.10's syntax synopses for regexp_match, which were slightly wrong about which combinations of arguments are allowed.

2024-05-13Skip citext_utf8 test on Windows.Thomas Munro
On other Windows build farm animals it is already skipped because they don't use UTF-8 encoding. On "hamerkop", UTF-8 is used, and then the test fails. It is not clear to me (a non-Windows person looking only at buildfarm evidence) whether Windows is less sophisticated than other OSes and doesn't know how to downcase Turkish İ with the standard Unicode database, or if it is more sophisticated than other systems and uses locale-specific behavior like ICU does. Whichever the reason, the result is the same: we need to skip the test on Windows, just as we already do for ICU, at least until a Windows-savvy developer comes up with a better idea. The technique for detecting the OS is borrowed from collate.windows.win1252.sql. This was anticipated by commit c2e8bd27, but the problem only surfaced when Windows build farm animals started using Meson.

2023-06-07Remove read-only server settings lc_collate and lc_ctypePeter Eisentraut
The GUC settings lc_collate and lc_ctype are from a time when those locale settings were cluster-global. When those locale settings were made per-database (PG 8.4), the settings were kept as read-only. As of PG 15, you can use ICU as the per-database locale provider, so examining these settings is already less meaningful and possibly confusing, since you need to look into pg_database to find out what is really happening, and they would likely become fully obsolete in the future anyway.

The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in at least the make build.

2022-09-21meson: Add initial version of meson based build systemAndres Freund
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.

These test cases have been commented out since citext was invented, because at the time we had no nice way to deal with tests that have restrictions such as requiring UTF8 encoding. But now we do have a convention for that, ie put them into a separate test file with an early-exit path. So let's enable these tests to run when their prerequisites are satisfied. (We may have to tighten the prerequisites beyond the "encoding = UTF8 and locale != C" checks made here. But let's put it on the buildfarm and see what blows up.)

2021-12-11Create a new type category for "internal use" types.Tom Lane
Historically we've put type "char" into the S (String) typcategory, although calling it a string is a stretch considering it can only store one byte. (In our actual usage, it's more like an enum.) This choice now seems wrong in view of the special heuristics that parse_func.c and parse_coerce.c have for TYPCATEGORY_STRING: it's not a great idea for "char" to have those preferential casting behaviors. Worse than that, recent patches inventing special-purpose types like pg_node_tree have assigned typcategory S to those types, meaning they also get preferential casting treatment that's designed on the assumption that they can hold arbitrary text. To fix, invent a new category TYPCATEGORY_INTERNAL for internal-use types, and assign that to all these types. I used code 'Z' for lack of a better idea ('I' was already taken). This change breaks one query in psql/describe.c, which now needs to explicitly cast a catalog "char" column to text before concatenating it with an undecorated literal. Also, a test case in contrib/citext now needs an explicit cast to convert citext to "char". Since the point of this change is to not have "char" be a surprisingly-available cast target, these breakages seem OK. Per report from Ian Campbell.

2020-08-10Make contrib modules' installation scripts more secure.Tom Lane
Hostile objects located within the installation-time search_path could capture references in an extension's installation or upgrade script. If the extension is being installed with superuser privileges, this opens the door to privilege escalation. While such hazards have existed all along, their urgency increases with the v13 "trusted extensions" feature, because that lets a non-superuser control the installation path for a superuser-privileged script. Therefore, make a number of changes to make such situations more secure: * Tweak the construction of the installation-time search_path to ensure that references to objects in pg_catalog can't be subverted; and explicitly add pg_temp to the end of the path to prevent attacks using temporary objects. * Disable check_function_bodies within installation/upgrade scripts, so that any security gaps in SQL-language or PL-language function bodies cannot create a risk of unwanted installation-time code execution. * Adjust lookup of type input/receive functions and join estimator functions to complain if there are multiple candidate functions. This prevents capture of references to functions whose signature is not the first one checked; and it's arguably more user-friendly anyway. * Modify various contrib upgrade scripts to ensure that catalog modification queries are executed with secure search paths. (These are in-place modifications with no extension version changes, since it is the update process itself that is at issue, not the end result.) Extensions that depend on other extensions cannot be made fully secure by these methods alone; therefore, revert the "trusted" marking that commit eb67623c9 applied to earthdistance and hstore_plperl, pending some better solution to that set of issues. Also add documentation around these issues, to help extension authors write secure installation scripts. Patch by me, following an observation by Andres Freund; thanks to Noah Misch for review.

2020-02-19Remove support for upgrading extensions from "unpackaged" state.Tom Lane
Andres Freund pointed out that allowing non-superusers to run "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged" has security risks, since the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts don't try to verify that the existing objects they're modifying are what they expect. Just attaching such objects to an extension doesn't seem too dangerous, but some of them do more than that. We could have resolved this, perhaps, by still requiring superuser privilege to use the FROM option. However, it's fair to ask just what we're accomplishing by continuing to lug the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts forward. None of them have received any real testing since 9.1 days, so they may not even work anymore (even assuming that one could still load the previous "loose" object definitions into a v13 database). And an installation that's trying to go from pre-9.1 to v13 or later in one jump is going to have worse compatibility problems than whether there's a trivial way to convert their contrib modules into extension style. Hence, let's just drop both those scripts and the core-code support for "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM". Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200213233015.r6rnubcvl4egdh5r@alap3.anarazel.de

This allows these modules to be installed into a database without superuser privileges (assuming that the DBA or sysadmin has installed the module's files in the expected place).

2018-07-14Fix hashjoin costing mistake introduced with inner_unique optimization.Tom Lane
In final_cost_hashjoin(), commit 9c7f5229a allowed inner_unique cases to follow a code path previously used only for SEMI/ANTI joins; but it neglected to fix an if-test within that path that assumed SEMI and ANTI were the only possible cases. This resulted in a wrong value for hashjointuples, and an ensuing bad cost estimate, for inner_unique normal joins. Fortunately, for inner_unique normal joins we can assume the number of joined tuples is the same as for a SEMI join; so there's no need for more code, we just have to invert the test to check for ANTI not SEMI. It turns out that in two contrib tests in which commit 9c7f5229a changed the plan expected for a query, the change was actually wrong and induced by this estimation error, not by any real improvement. Hence this patch also reverts those changes. Per report from RK Korlapati. Backpatch to v10 where the error was introduced.

2017-09-13Distinguish selectivity of < from <= and > from >=.Tom Lane
Historically, the selectivity functions have simply not distinguished < from <=, or > from >=, arguing that the fraction of the population that satisfies the "=" aspect can be considered to be vanishingly small, if the comparison value isn't any of the most-common-values for the variable. (If it is, the code path that executes the operator against each MCV will take care of things properly.) But that isn't really true unless we're dealing with a continuum of variable values, and in practice we seldom are. If "x = const" would estimate a nonzero number of rows for a given const value, then it follows that we ought to estimate different numbers of rows for "x < const" and "x <= const", even if the const is not one of the MCVs. Handling this more honestly makes a significant difference in edge cases, such as the estimate for a tight range (x BETWEEN y AND z where y and z are close together). Hence, split scalarltsel into scalarltsel/scalarlesel, and similarly split scalargtsel into scalargtsel/scalargesel. Adjust <= and >= operator definitions to reference the new selectivity functions. Improve the core ineq_histogram_selectivity() function to make a correction for equality. (Along the way, I learned quite a bit about exactly why that function gives good answers, which I tried to memorialize in improved comments.) The corresponding join selectivity functions were, and remain, just stubs. But I chose to split them similarly, to avoid confusion and to prevent the need for doing this exercise again if someone ever makes them less stubby. In passing, change ineq_histogram_selectivity's clamp for extreme probability estimates so that it varies depending on the histogram size, instead of being hardwired at 0.0001. With the default histogram size of 100 entries, you still get the old clamp value, but bigger histograms should allow us to put more faith in edge values.

2017-04-07Optimize joins when the inner relation can be proven unique.Tom Lane
If there can certainly be no more than one matching inner row for a given outer row, then the executor can move on to the next outer row as soon as it's found one match; there's no need to continue scanning the inner relation for this outer row. This saves useless scanning in nestloop and hash joins. In merge joins, it offers the opportunity to skip mark/restore processing, because we know we have not advanced past the first possible match for the next outer row. Of course, the devil is in the details: the proof of uniqueness must depend only on joinquals (not otherquals), and if we want to skip mergejoin mark/restore then it must depend only on merge clauses. To avoid adding more planning overhead than absolutely necessary, the present patch errs in the conservative direction: there are cases where inner_unique or skip_mark_restore processing could be used, but it will not do so because it's not sure that the uniqueness proof depended only on "safe" clauses. This could be improved later. David Rowley, reviewed and rather heavily editorialized on by me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAApHDvqF6Sw-TK98bW48TdtFJ+3a7D2mFyZ7++=D-RyPsL76gw@mail.gmail.com

2016-07-26Repair damage done by citext--1.1--1.2.sql.Robert Haas
That script is incorrect in that it sets the combine function for max(citext) twice instead of setting the combine function for max(citext) once and the combine functon for min(citext) once. The consequence is that if you install 1.0 or 1.1 and then update to 1.2, you end up with min(citext) not having a combine function, contrary to what was intended. If you install 1.2 directly, you're OK. Fix things up by defining a new 1.3 version. Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3 won't change anything for people who first installed the 1.2 version, but people upgrading from 1.0 or 1.1 will get the right catalog contents once they reach 1.3.

2015-05-05Fix incorrect declaration of citext's regexp_matches() functions.Tom Lane
These functions should return SETOF TEXT[], like the core functions they are wrappers for; but they were incorrectly declared as returning just TEXT[]. This mistake had two results: first, if there was no match you got a scalar null result, whereas what you should get is an empty set (zero rows). Second, the 'g' flag was effectively ignored, since you would get only one result array even if there were multiple matches, as reported by Jeff Certain. While ignoring 'g' is a clear bug, the behavior for no matches might well have been thought to be the intended behavior by people who hadn't compared it carefully to the core regexp_matches() functions. So we should tread carefully about introducing this change in the back branches. Still, it clearly is a bug and so providing some fix is desirable. After discussion, the conclusion was to introduce the change in a 1.1 version of the citext extension (as we would need to do anyway); 1.0 still contains the incorrect behavior. 1.1 is the default and only available version in HEAD, but it is optional in the back branches, where 1.0 remains the default version. People wishing to adopt the fix in back branches will need to explicitly do ALTER EXTENSION citext UPDATE TO '1.1'. (I also provided a downgrade script in the back branches, so people could go back to 1.0 if necessary.) This should be called out as an incompatible change in the 9.5 release notes, although we'll also document it in the next set of back-branch release notes. The notes should mention that any views or rules that use citext's regexp_matches() functions will need to be dropped before upgrading to 1.1, and then recreated again afterwards. Back-patch to 9.1. The bug goes all the way back to citext's introduction in 8.4, but pre-9.1 there is no extension mechanism with which to manage the change. Given the lack of previous complaints it seems unnecessary to change this behavior in 9.0, anyway.
2014-08-28Fix citext upgrade script for disallowance of oidvector element assignment.Tom Lane
In commit 45e02e3232ac7cc5ffe36f7986159b5e0b1f6fdc, we intentionally disallowed updates on individual elements of oidvector columns. While that still seems like a sane idea in the abstract, we (I) forgot that citext's "upgrade from unpackaged" script did in fact perform exactly such updates, in order to fix the problem that citext indexes should have a collation but would not in databases dumped or upgraded from pre-9.1 installations. Even if we wanted to add casts to allow such updates, there's no practical way to do so in the back branches, so the only real alternative is to make citext's kluge even klugier. In this patch, I cast the oidvector to text, fix its contents with regexp_replace, and cast back to oidvector. (Ugh!) Since the aforementioned commit went into all active branches, we have to fix this in all branches that contain the now-broken update script. Per report from Eric Malm.
2014-08-25Fix typos in some error messages thrown by extension scripts when fed to psql.Andres Freund
Some of the many error messages introduced in 458857cc missed 'FROM unpackaged'. Also e016b724 and 45ffeb7e forgot to quote extension version numbers. Backpatch to 9.1, just like 458857cc which introduced the messages. Do so because the error messages thrown when the wrong command is copy & pasted aren't easy to understand.
2014-07-14Add file version information to most installed Windows binaries.Noah Misch
Prominent binaries already had this metadata. A handful of minor binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate such exceptions are welcome. Michael Paquier, reviewed by MauMau.
2014-04-18Create function prototype as part of PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macroPeter Eisentraut
Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files, but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant. Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of compiler warnings in extension modules. We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that functions have the right prototype. Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
2014-02-27Remove dependency on database encoding in citext regression test.Tom Lane
Testing convert_to(..., 'ISO-8859-1') fails if there isn't a conversion function available from the database encoding to ISO-8859-1. This has been broken since day one, but the breakage was hidden by pg_do_encoding_conversion's failure to complain, up till commit 49c817eab78c6f0ce8c3bf46766b73d6cf3190b7. Since the data being converted in this test is plain ASCII, no actual conversion need happen (and if it did, it would prove little about citext anyway). So that we still have some code coverage of the convert() family of functions, let's switch to using convert_from, with SQL_ASCII as the specified source encoding. Per buildfarm.
