For some reason lost in the mists of prehistory, RETURN was only coded to
allow a simple reference to a composite variable when the function's return
type is composite. Allow an expression instead, while preserving the
efficiency of the original code path in the case where the expression is
indeed just a composite variable's name. Likewise for RETURN NEXT.
As is true in various other places, the supplied expression must yield
exactly the number and data types of the required columns. There was some
discussion of relaxing that for pl/pgsql, but no consensus yet, so this
patch doesn't address that.

Background workers are postmaster subprocesses that run arbitrary
user-specified code. They can request shared memory access as well as
backend database connections; or they can just use plain libpq frontend
database connections.
Modules listed in shared_preload_libraries can register background
workers in their _PG_init() function; this is early enough that it's not
necessary to provide an extra GUC option, because the necessary extra
resources can be allocated early on. Modules can install more than one
bgworker, if necessary.
Care is taken that these extra processes do not interfere with other
postmaster tasks: only one such process is started on each ServerLoop
iteration. This means a large number of them could be waiting to be
started up and postmaster is still able to quickly service external
connection requests. Also, shutdown sequence should not be impacted by
a worker process that's reasonably well behaved (i.e. promptly responds
to termination signals.)
The current implementation lets worker processes specify their start
time, i.e. at what point in the server startup process they are to be
started: right after postmaster start (in which case they mustn't ask
for shared memory access), when consistent state has been reached
(useful during recovery in a HOT standby server), or when recovery has
terminated (i.e. when normal backends are allowed).
In case of a bgworker crash, actions to take depend on registration
data: if shared memory was requested, then all other connections are
taken down (as well as other bgworkers), just like it were a regular
backend crashing. The bgworker itself is restarted, too, within a
configurable timeframe (which can be configured to be never).
More features to add to this framework can be imagined without much
effort, and have been discussed, but this seems good enough as a useful
unit already.
An elementary sample module is supplied.

When a relfilenode is created in this subtransaction or
a committed child transaction and it cannot otherwise
be seen by our own process, mark tuples committed ahead
of transaction commit for all COPY commands in same
transaction. If FREEZE specified on COPY
and pre-conditions met then rows will also be frozen.
Both options designed to avoid revisiting rows after commit,
increasing performance of subsequent commands after
data load and upgrade. pg_restore changes later.

This allows a caller to get back the exact conninfo array that was
used to create a connection, including parameters read from the
environment.
In doing this, restructure how options are copied from the conninfo
to the actual connection.

Commit 8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e, which introduced DROP
INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor
choice of catalog state representation. The pg_index state for an index
that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an
index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This meant that the
(necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes
also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because
the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions. Failure to
do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from
queries depending on the concurrently-created index.
To fix, add an additional boolean column "indislive" to pg_index, so that
the freshly-created and about-to-die states can be distinguished. (This
change obviously is only possible in HEAD. This patch will need to be
back-patched, but in 9.2 we'll use a kluge consisting of overloading the
formerly-impossible state of indisvalid = true and indisready = false.)
In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update. The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption. This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code.
In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate. These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.
Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation. Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry. It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.
In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY;
some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments.
This will need to be back-patched, but in a noticeably different form,
so I'm committing it to HEAD before working on the back-patch.

This reverts commit d573e239f03506920938bf0be56c868d9c3416da, "Take fewer
snapshots". While that seemed like a good idea at the time, it caused
execution to use a snapshot that had been acquired before locking any of
the tables mentioned in the query. This created user-visible anomalies
that were not present in any prior release of Postgres, as reported by
Tomas Vondra. While this whole area could do with a redesign (since there
are related cases that have anomalies anyway), it doesn't seem likely that
any future patch would be reasonably back-patchable; and we don't want 9.2
to exhibit a behavior that's subtly unlike either past or future releases.
Hence, revert to prior code while we rethink the problem.

logical replication upgrades.
Backpatch to 9.2.
|

We used to send structs wrapped in CopyData messages, which works as long as
the client and server agree on things like endianess, timestamp format and
alignment. That's good enough for running a standby server, which has to run
on the same platform anyway, but it's useful for tools like pg_receivexlog
to work across platforms.
This breaks protocol compatibility of streaming replication, but we never
promised that to be compatible across versions, anyway.

Represent a sequence's current value as a separate TableDataInfo dumpable
object, so that it can be dumped within the data section of the archive
rather than in pre-data. This fixes an undesirable inconsistency between
the meanings of "--data-only" and "--section=data", and also fixes dumping
of sequences that are marked as extension configuration tables, as per a
report from Marko Kreen back in July. The main cost is that we do one more
SQL query per sequence, but that's probably not very meaningful in most
databases.
Back-patch to 9.1, since it has the extension configuration issue even
though not the --section switch.

... and have sepgsql use it to determine whether to check permissions

they were already checked when the index was created.

In commit 4317e0246c645f60c39e6572644cff1cb03b4c65, I accidentally broke
this behavior while rearranging code to ensure that --create wouldn't
affect whether a DATABASE entry gets put into archive-format output.
Thus, 9.2 would issue a DROP DATABASE command in --clean mode, which is
either useless or dangerous depending on the usage scenario.
It should not do that, and no longer does.
A bright spot is that this refactoring makes it easy to allow the
combination of --clean and --create to work sensibly, ie, emit DROP
DATABASE then CREATE DATABASE before reconnecting. Ordinarily we'd
consider that a feature addition and not back-patch it, but it seems
silly to not include the extra couple of lines required in the 9.2
version of the code.
Per report from Guillaume Lelarge, though this is slightly more extensive
than his proposed patch.

Rename replication_timeout to wal_sender_timeout, and add a new setting
called wal_receiver_timeout that does the same at the walreceiver side.
There was previously no timeout in walreceiver, so if the network went down,
for example, the walreceiver could take a long time to notice that the
connection was lost. Now with the two settings, both sides of a replication
connection will detect a broken connection similarly.
It is no longer necessary to manually set wal_receiver_status_interval to
a value smaller than the timeout. Both wal sender and receiver now
automatically send a "ping" message if more than 1/2 of the configured
timeout has elapsed, and it hasn't received any messages from the other end.

dblink now has its own validator function dblink_fdw_validator(), which is
better than the core function postgresql_fdw_validator() because it gets
the list of legal options from libpq instead of having a hard-wired list.
Make the dblink extension module provide a standard foreign data wrapper
dblink_fdw that encapsulates use of this validator, and recommend use of
that wrapper instead of making up wrappers on the fly.
Unfortunately, because ad-hoc wrappers *were* recommended practice
previously, it's not clear when we can get rid of postgresql_fdw_validator
without causing upgrade problems. But this is a step in the right
direction.

libpq defines these functions as accepting "size_t" lengths ... but the
underlying backend functions expect signed int32 length parameters, and so
will misinterpret any value exceeding INT_MAX. Fix the libpq side to throw
error rather than possibly doing something unexpected.
This is a bug of long standing, but I doubt it's worth back-patching. The
problem is really pretty academic anyway with lo_read/lo_write, since any
caller expecting sane behavior would have to have provided a multi-gigabyte
buffer. It's slightly more pressing with lo_truncate, but still we haven't
supported large objects over 2GB until now.

lo_truncate64 are added. inv_api.c is changed to handle 64-bit
offsets.

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.

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.

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.
