2016-02-04postgres_fdw: Avoid possible misbehavior when RETURNING tableoid column only.Robert Haas
deparseReturningList ended up adding up RETURNING NULL to the code, but code elsewhere saw an empty list of attributes and concluded that it should not expect tuples from the remote side. Etsuro Fujita and Robert Haas, reviewed by Thom Brown
2015-09-24Improve handling of collations in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane
If we have a local Var of say varchar type with default collation, and we apply a RelabelType to convert that to text with default collation, we don't want to consider that as creating an FDW_COLLATE_UNSAFE situation. It should be okay to compare that to a remote Var, so long as the remote Var determines the comparison collation. (When we actually ship such an expression to the remote side, the local Var would become a Param with default collation, meaning the remote Var would in fact control the comparison collation, because non-default implicit collation overrides default implicit collation in parse_collate.c.) To fix, be more precise about what FDW_COLLATE_NONE means: it applies either to a noncollatable data type or to a collatable type with default collation, if that collation can't be traced to a remote Var. (When it can, FDW_COLLATE_SAFE is appropriate.) We were essentially using that interpretation already at the Var/Const/Param level, but we weren't bubbling it up properly. An alternative fix would be to introduce a separate FDW_COLLATE_DEFAULT value to describe the second situation, but that would add more code without changing the actual behavior, so it didn't seem worthwhile. Also, since we're clarifying the rule to be that we care about whether operator/function input collations match, there seems no need to fail immediately upon seeing a Const/Param/non-foreign-Var with nondefault collation. We only have to reject if it appears in a collation-sensitive context (for example, "var IS NOT NULL" is perfectly safe from a collation standpoint, whatever collation the var has). So just set the state to UNSAFE rather than failing immediately. Per report from Jeevan Chalke. This essentially corrects some sloppy thinking in commit ed3ddf918b59545583a4b374566bc1148e75f593, so back-patch to 9.3 where that logic appeared.

2014-11-22Fix mishandling of system columns in FDW queries.Tom Lane
postgres_fdw would send query conditions involving system columns to the remote server, even though it makes no effort to ensure that system columns other than CTID match what the remote side thinks. tableoid, in particular, probably won't match and might have some use in queries. Hence, prevent sending conditions that include non-CTID system columns. Also, create_foreignscan_plan neglected to check local restriction conditions while determining whether to set fsSystemCol for a foreign scan plan node. This again would bollix the results for queries that test a foreign table's tableoid. Back-patch the first fix to 9.3 where postgres_fdw was introduced. Back-patch the second to 9.2. The code is probably broken in 9.1 as well, but the patch doesn't apply cleanly there; given the weak state of support for FDWs in 9.1, it doesn't seem worth fixing.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.
2014-04-16Fix contrib/postgres_fdw's remote-estimate representation of array Params.Tom Lane
We were emitting "(SELECT null::typename)", which is usually interpreted as a scalar subselect, but not so much in the context "x = ANY(...)". This led to remote-side parsing failures when remote_estimate is enabled. A quick and ugly fix is to stick in an extra cast step, "((SELECT null::typename)::typename)". The cast will be thrown away as redundant by parse analysis, but not before it's done its job of making sure the grammar sees the ANY argument as an a_expr rather than a select_with_parens. Per an example from Hannu Krosing.
2014-04-03Fix non-equivalence of VARIADIC and non-VARIADIC function call formats.Tom Lane
For variadic functions (other than VARIADIC ANY), the syntaxes foo(x,y,...) and foo(VARIADIC ARRAY[x,y,...]) should be considered equivalent, since the former is converted to the latter at parse time. They have indeed been equivalent, in all releases before 9.3. However, commit 75b39e790 made an ill-considered decision to record which syntax had been used in FuncExpr nodes, and then to make equal() test that in checking node equality --- which caused the syntaxes to not be seen as equivalent by the planner. This is the underlying cause of bug #9817 from Dmitry Ryabov. It might seem that a quick fix would be to make equal() disregard FuncExpr.funcvariadic, but the same commit made that untenable, because the field actually *is* semantically significant for some VARIADIC ANY functions. This patch instead adopts the approach of redefining funcvariadic (and aggvariadic, in HEAD) as meaning that the last argument is a variadic array, whether it got that way by parser intervention or was supplied explicitly by the user. Therefore the value will always be true for non-ANY variadic functions, restoring the principle of equivalence. (However, the planner will continue to consider use of VARIADIC as a meaningful difference for VARIADIC ANY functions, even though some such functions might disregard it.) In HEAD, this change lets us simplify the decompilation logic in ruleutils.c, since the funcvariadic/aggvariadic flag tells directly whether to print VARIADIC. However, in 9.3 we have to continue to cope with existing stored rules/views that might contain the previous definition. Fortunately, this just means no change in ruleutils.c, since its existing behavior effectively ignores funcvariadic for all cases other than VARIADIC ANY functions. In HEAD, bump catversion to reflect the fact that FuncExpr.funcvariadic changed meanings; this is sort of pro forma, since I don't believe any built-in views are affected. Unfortunately, this patch doesn't magically fix everything for affected 9.3 users. After installing 9.3.5, they might need to recreate their rules/views/indexes containing variadic function calls in order to get everything consistent with the new definition. As in the cited bug, the symptom of a problem would be failure to use a nominally matching index that has a variadic function call in its definition. We'll need to mention this in the 9.3.5 release notes.
2014-03-23Offer triggers on foreign tables.Noah Misch
This covers all the SQL-standard trigger types supported for regular tables; it does not cover constraint triggers. The approach for acquiring the old row mirrors that for view INSTEAD OF triggers. For AFTER ROW triggers, we spool the foreign tuples to a tuplestore. This changes the FDW API contract; when deciding which columns to populate in the slot returned from data modification callbacks, writable FDWs will need to check for AFTER ROW triggers in addition to checking for a RETURNING clause. In support of the feature addition, refactor the TriggerFlags bits and the assembly of old tuples in ModifyTable. Ronan Dunklau, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei; some additional hacking by me.
2014-03-07Fix contrib/postgres_fdw to handle multiple join conditions properly.Tom Lane
The previous coding supposed that it could consider just a single join condition in any one parameterized path for the foreign table. But in reality, the parameterized-path machinery forces all join clauses that are "movable to" the foreign table to be evaluated at that node; including clauses that we might not consider safe to send across. Such cases would result in an Assert failure in an assert-enabled build, and otherwise in sending an unsafe clause to the foreign server, which might result in errors or silently-wrong answers. A lesser problem was that the cost/rowcount estimates generated for the parameterized path failed to account for any additional join quals that get assigned to the scan. To fix, rewrite postgresGetForeignPaths so that it correctly collects all the movable quals for any one outer relation when generating parameterized paths; we'll now generate just one path per outer relation not one per join qual. Also fix bogus assumptions in postgresGetForeignPlan and estimate_path_cost_size that only safe-to-send join quals will be presented. Based on complaint from Etsuro Fujita that the path costs were being miscalculated, though this is significantly different from his proposed patch.

2013-10-31Use appendStringInfoString instead of appendStringInfo where possible.Robert Haas
This shaves a few cycles, and generally seems like good programming practice. David Rowley
2013-03-22Avoid retrieving dummy NULL columns in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane
This should provide some marginal overall savings, since it surely takes many more cycles for the remote server to deal with the NULL columns than it takes for postgres_fdw not to emit them. But really the reason is to keep the emitted queries from looking quite so silly ...
2013-03-21Redo postgres_fdw's planner code so it can handle parameterized paths.Tom Lane
I wasn't going to ship this without having at least some example of how to do that. This version isn't terribly bright; in particular it won't consider any combinations of multiple join clauses. Given the cost of executing a remote EXPLAIN, I'm not sure we want to be very aggressive about doing that, anyway. In support of this, refactor generate_implied_equalities_for_indexcol so that it can be used to extract equivalence clauses that aren't necessarily tied to an index.
2013-03-13Introduce less-bogus handling of collations in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane
Treat expressions as being remotely executable only if all collations used in them are determined by Vars of the foreign table. This means that, if the foreign server gets different answers than we do, it's the user's fault for not having marked the foreign table columns with collations equivalent to the remote table's. This rule allows most simple expressions such as "var < 'constant'" to be sent to the remote side, because the constant isn't determining the collation (the Var's collation would win). There's still room for improvement, but it's hard to see how to do it without a lot more knowledge and/or assumptions about what the remote side will do.
2013-03-12Fix contrib/postgres_fdw's handling of column defaults.Tom Lane
Adopt the position that only locally-defined defaults matter. Any defaults defined in the remote database do not affect insertions performed through a foreign table (unless they are for columns not known to the foreign table). While it'd arguably be more useful to permit remote defaults to be used, making that work in a consistent fashion requires far more work than seems possible for 9.3.
2013-03-11Fix postgres_fdw's issues with inconsistent interpretation of data values.Tom Lane
For datatypes whose output formatting depends on one or more GUC settings, we have to worry about whether the other server will interpret the value the same way it was meant. pg_dump has been aware of this hazard for a long time, but postgres_fdw needs to deal with it too. To fix data retrieval from the remote server, set the necessary remote GUC settings at connection startup. (We were already assuming that settings made then would persist throughout the remote session.) To fix data transmission to the remote server, temporarily force the relevant GUCs to the right values when we're about to convert any data values to text for transmission. This is all pretty grotty, and not very cheap either. It's tempting to think of defining one uber-GUC that would override any settings that might render printed data values unportable. But of course, older remote servers wouldn't know any such thing and would still need this logic. While at it, revert commit f7951eef89be78c50ea2241f593d76dfefe176c9, since this provides a real fix. (The timestamptz given in the error message returned from the "remote" server will now reliably be shown in UTC.)
2013-03-11Avoid generating bad remote SQL for INSERT ... DEFAULT VALUES.Tom Lane
"INSERT INTO foo() VALUES ()" is invalid syntax, so don't do that.
2013-03-10Support writable foreign tables.Tom Lane
This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic functionality there now. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov and Laurenz Albe, and rather heavily revised by Tom Lane.
2013-02-22Fix some planning oversights in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane
Include eval costs of local conditions in remote-estimate mode, and don't assume the remote eval cost is zero in local-estimate mode. (The best we can do with that at the moment is to assume a seqscan, which may well be wildly pessimistic ... but zero won't do at all.) To get a reasonable local estimate, we need to know the relpages count for the remote rel, so improve the ANALYZE code to fetch that rather than just setting the foreign table's relpages field to zero.
2013-02-22Fix whole-row references in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane
The optimization to not retrieve unnecessary columns wasn't smart enough. Noted by Thom Brown.
2013-02-22Change postgres_fdw to show casts as casts, not underlying function calls.Tom Lane
On reflection this method seems to be exposing an unreasonable amount of implementation detail. It wouldn't matter when talking to a remote server of the identical Postgres version, but it seems likely to make things worse not better if the remote is a different version with different casting infrastructure. Instead adopt ruleutils.c's policy of regurgitating the cast as it was originally specified; including not showing it at all, if it was implicit to start with. (We must do that because for some datatypes explicit and implicit casts have different semantics.)
2013-02-22Get rid of postgres_fdw's assumption that remote type OIDs match ours.Tom Lane
The only place we depended on that was in sending numeric type OIDs in PQexecParams; but we can replace that usage with explicitly casting each Param symbol in the query string, so that the types are specified to the remote by name not OID. This makes no immediate difference but will be essential if we ever hope to support use of non-builtin types.
2013-02-22Adjust postgres_fdw's search path handling.Tom Lane
Set the remote session's search path to exactly "pg_catalog" at session start, then schema-qualify only names that aren't in that schema. This greatly reduces clutter in the generated SQL commands, as seen in the regression test changes. Per discussion. Also, rethink use of FirstNormalObjectId as the "built-in object" cutoff --- FirstBootstrapObjectId is safer, since the former will accept objects in information_schema for instance.
2013-02-21Add postgres_fdw contrib module.Tom Lane
There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works, and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the writable-foreign-tables patch. So let's commit it and get on with testing. Shigeru Hanada, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei and Tom Lane
