2015-01-08Fix logging of pages skipped due to pins during vacuum.Andres Freund
The new logging introduced in 35192f06 made the incorrect assumption that scan_all vacuums would always wait for buffer pins; but they only do so if the page actually needs to be frozen. Fix that inaccuracy by removing the difference in log output based on scan_all and just always remove the same message. I chose to keep the split log message from the original commit for now, it seems likely that it'll be of use in the future. Also merge the line about buffer pins in autovacuum's log output into the existing "pages: ..." line. It seems odd to have a separate line about pins, without the "topic: " prefix others have. Also rename the new 'pinned_pages' variable to 'pinskipped_pages' because it actually tracks the number of pages that could *not* be pinned. Discussion: 20150104005324.GC9626@awork2.anarazel.de

2014-12-30pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects: Add name/args output columnsAlvaro Herrera

2014-12-30Use TypeName to represent type names in certain commandsAlvaro Herrera
In COMMENT, DROP, SECURITY LABEL, and the new pg_get_object_address function, we were representing types as a list of names, same as other objects; but types are special objects that require their own representation to be totally accurate. In the original COMMENT code we had a note about fixing it which was lost in the course of c10575ff005. Change all those places to use TypeName instead, as suggested by that comment. Right now the original coding doesn't cause any bugs, so no backpatch. It is more problematic for proposed future code that operate with object addresses from the SQL interface; type details such as array-ness are lost when working with the degraded representation. Thanks to Petr Jelínek and Dimitri Fontaine for offlist help on finding a solution to a shift/reduce grammar conflict.
2014-12-23Revert "Use a bitmask to represent role attributes"Alvaro Herrera
This reverts commit 1826987a46d079458007b7b6bbcbbd852353adbb. The overall design was deemed unacceptable, in discussion following the previous commit message; we might find some parts of it still salvageable, but I don't want to be on the hook for fixing it, so let's wait until we have a new patch.
2014-12-23Add SQL-callable pg_get_object_addressAlvaro Herrera
This allows access to get_object_address from SQL, which is useful to obtain OID addressing information from data equivalent to that emitted by the parser. This is necessary infrastructure of a project to let replication systems propagate object dropping events to remote servers, where the schema might be different than the server originating the DROP. This patch also adds support for OBJECT_DEFAULT to get_object_address; that is, it is now possible to refer to a column's default value. Catalog version bumped due to the new function.

2014-12-23get_object_address: separate domain constraints from table constraintsAlvaro Herrera
Apart from enabling comments on domain constraints, this enables a future project to replicate object dropping to remote servers: with the current mechanism there's no way to distinguish between the two types of constraints, so there's no way to know what to drop. Also added support for the domain constraint comments in psql's \dd and pg_dump. Catalog version bumped due to the change in ObjectType enum.
2014-12-19pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects: add behavior flagsAlvaro Herrera
Add "normal" and "original" flags as output columns to the pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects() function. With this it's possible to distinguish which objects, among those listed, need to be explicitely referenced when trying to replicate a deletion. This is necessary so that the list of objects can be pruned to the minimum necessary to replicate the DROP command in a remote server that might have slightly different schema (for instance, TOAST tables and constraints with different names and such.)

2014-12-18Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions.Tom Lane
Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes. This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys). There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely. In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before. For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

2014-12-17Allow CHECK constraints to be placed on foreign tables.Tom Lane
As with NOT NULL constraints, we consider that such constraints are merely reports of constraints that are being enforced by the remote server (or other underlying storage mechanism). Their only real use is to allow planner optimizations, for example in constraint-exclusion checks. Thus, the code changes here amount to little more than removal of the error that was formerly thrown for applying CHECK to a foreign table. (In passing, do a bit of cleanup of the ALTER FOREIGN TABLE reference page, which had accumulated some weird decisions about ordering etc.) Shigeru Hanada and Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and Ashutosh Bapat.

2014-12-03Keep track of transaction commit timestampsAlvaro Herrera
Transactions can now set their commit timestamp directly as they commit, or an external transaction commit timestamp can be fed from an outside system using the new function TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData(). This data is crash-safe, and truncated at Xid freeze point, same as pg_clog. This module is disabled by default because it causes a performance hit, but can be enabled in postgresql.conf requiring only a server restart. A new test in src/test/modules is included.

2014-11-27Rename pg_rowsecurity -> pg_policy and other fixesStephen Frost
As pointed out by Robert, we should really have named pg_rowsecurity pg_policy, as the objects stored in that catalog are policies. This patch fixes that and updates the column names to start with 'pol' to match the new catalog name. The security consideration for COPY with row level security, also pointed out by Robert, has also been addressed by remembering and re-checking the OID of the relation initially referenced during COPY processing, to make sure it hasn't changed under us by the time we finish planning out the query which has been built. Robert and Alvaro also commented on missing OCLASS and OBJECT entries for POLICY (formerly ROWSECURITY or POLICY, depending) in various places. This patch fixes that too, which also happens to add the ability to COMMENT on policies. In passing, attempt to improve the consistency of messages, comments, and documentation as well. This removes various incarnations of 'row-security', 'row-level security', 'Row-security', etc, in favor of 'policy', 'row level security' or 'row_security' as appropriate. Happy Thanksgiving!

2014-11-20Revamp the WAL record format.Heikki Linnakangas
Each WAL record now carries information about the modified relation and block(s) in a standardized format. That makes it easier to write tools that need that information, like pg_rewind, prefetching the blocks to speed up recovery, etc. There's a whole new API for building WAL records, replacing the XLogRecData chains used previously. The new API consists of XLogRegister* functions, which are called for each buffer and chunk of data that is added to the record. The new API also gives more control over when a full-page image is written, by passing flags to the XLogRegisterBuffer function. This also simplifies the XLogReadBufferForRedo() calls. The function can dig the relation and block number from the WAL record, so they no longer need to be passed as arguments. For the convenience of redo routines, XLogReader now disects each WAL record after reading it, copying the main data part and the per-block data into MAXALIGNed buffers. The data chunks are not aligned within the WAL record, but the redo routines can assume that the pointers returned by XLogRecGet* functions are. Redo routines are now passed the XLogReaderState, which contains the record in the already-disected format, instead of the plain XLogRecord. The new record format also makes the fixed size XLogRecord header smaller, by removing the xl_len field. The length of the "main data" portion is now stored at the end of the WAL record, and there's a separate header after XLogRecord for it. The alignment padding at the end of XLogRecord is also removed. This compansates for the fact that the new format would otherwise be more bulky than the old format.

2014-11-17Fix relpersistence setting in reindex_indexAlvaro Herrera
Buildfarm members with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS advised us that commit 85b506bbfc2937 was mistaken in setting the relpersistence value of the index directly in the relcache entry, within reindex_index. The reason for the failure is that an invalidation message that comes after mucking with the relcache entry directly, but before writing it to the catalogs, would cause the entry to become rebuilt in place from catalogs with the old contents, losing the update. Fix by passing the correct persistence value to RelationSetNewRelfilenode instead; this routine also writes the updated tuple to pg_class, avoiding the problem. Suggested by Tom Lane.

2014-11-14Clean up includes from RLS patchStephen Frost
The initial patch for RLS mistakenly included headers associated with the executor and planner bits in rewrite/rowsecurity.h. Per policy and general good sense, executor headers should not be included in planner headers or vice versa. The include of execnodes.h was a mistaken holdover from previous versions, while the include of relation.h was used for Relation's definition, which should have been coming from utils/relcache.h. This patch cleans these issues up, adds comments to the RowSecurityPolicy struct and the RowSecurityConfigType enum, and changes Relation->rsdesc to Relation->rd_rsdesc to follow Relation field naming convention. Additionally, utils/rel.h was including rewrite/rowsecurity.h, which wasn't a great idea since that was pulling in things not really needed in utils/rel.h (which gets included in quite a few places). Instead, use 'struct RowSecurityDesc' for the rd_rsdesc field and add comments explaining why. Lastly, add an include into access/nbtree/nbtsort.c for utils/sortsupport.h, which was evidently missed due to the above mess. Pointed out by Tom in 16970.1415838651@sss.pgh.pa.us; note that the concerns regarding a similar situation in the custom-path commit still need to be addressed.

2014-11-05Make CREATE TYPE print warnings if a datatype's I/O functions are volatile.Tom Lane
This is a followup to commit 43ac12c6e6e397fd9142ed908447eba32d3785b2, which added regression tests checking that I/O functions of built-in types are not marked volatile. Complaining in CREATE TYPE should push developers of add-on types to fix any misdeclared functions in their types. It's just a warning not an error, to avoid creating upgrade problems for what might be just cosmetic mis-markings. Aside from adding the warning code, fix a number of types that were sloppily created in the regression tests.
2014-11-04Drop no-longer-needed buffers during ALTER DATABASE SET TABLESPACE.Tom Lane
The previous coding assumed that we could just let buffers for the database's old tablespace age out of the buffer arena naturally. The folly of that is exposed by bug #11867 from Marc Munro: the user could later move the database back to its original tablespace, after which any still-surviving buffers would match lookups again and appear to contain valid data. But they'd be missing any changes applied while the database was in the new tablespace. This has been broken since ALTER SET TABLESPACE was introduced, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-10-30Test IsInTransactionChain, not IsTransactionBlock, in vac_update_relstats.Tom Lane
As noted by Noah Misch, my initial cut at fixing bug #11638 didn't cover all cases where ANALYZE might be invoked in an unsafe context. We need to test the result of IsInTransactionChain not IsTransactionBlock; which is notationally a pain because IsInTransactionChain requires an isTopLevel flag, which would have to be passed down through several levels of callers. I chose to pass in_outer_xact (ie, the result of IsInTransactionChain) rather than isTopLevel per se, as that seemed marginally more apropos for the intermediate functions to know about.
2014-10-29Avoid corrupting tables when ANALYZE inside a transaction is rolled back.Tom Lane
VACUUM and ANALYZE update the target table's pg_class row in-place, that is nontransactionally. This is OK, more or less, for the statistical columns, which are mostly nontransactional anyhow. It's not so OK for the DDL hint flags (relhasindex etc), which might get changed in response to transactional changes that could still be rolled back. This isn't a problem for VACUUM, since it can't be run inside a transaction block nor in parallel with DDL on the table. However, we allow ANALYZE inside a transaction block, so if the transaction had earlier removed the last index, rule, or trigger from the table, and then we roll back the transaction after ANALYZE, the table would be left in a corrupted state with the hint flags not set though they should be. To fix, suppress the hint-flag updates if we are InTransactionBlock(). This is safe enough because it's always OK to postpone hint maintenance some more; the worst-case consequence is a few extra searches of pg_index et al. There was discussion of instead using a transactional update, but that would change the behavior in ways that are not all desirable: in most scenarios we're better off keeping ANALYZE's statistical values even if the ANALYZE itself rolls back. In any case we probably don't want to change this behavior in back branches. Per bug #11638 from Casey Shobe. This has been broken for a good long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2014-10-20Flush unlogged table's buffers when copying or moving databases.Andres Freund
CREATE DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE .. SET TABLESPACE copy the source database directory on the filesystem level. To ensure the on disk state is consistent they block out users of the affected database and force a checkpoint to flush out all data to disk. Unfortunately, up to now, that checkpoint didn't flush out dirty buffers from unlogged relations. That bug means there could be leftover dirty buffers in either the template database, or the database in its old location. Leading to problems when accessing relations in an inconsistent state; and to possible problems during shutdown in the SET TABLESPACE case because buffers belonging files that don't exist anymore are flushed. This was reported in bug #10675 by Maxim Boguk. Fix by Pavan Deolasee, modified somewhat by me. Reviewed by MauMau and Fujii Masao. Backpatch to 9.1 where unlogged tables were introduced.

2014-10-13Increase number of hash join buckets for underestimate.Kevin Grittner
If we expect batching at the very beginning, we size nbuckets for "full work_mem" (see how many tuples we can get into work_mem, while not breaking NTUP_PER_BUCKET threshold). If we expect to be fine without batching, we start with the 'right' nbuckets and track the optimal nbuckets as we go (without actually resizing the hash table). Once we hit work_mem (considering the optimal nbuckets value), we keep the value. At the end of the first batch, we check whether (nbuckets != nbuckets_optimal) and resize the hash table if needed. Also, we keep this value for all batches (it's OK because it assumes full work_mem, and it makes the batchno evaluation trivial). So the resize happens only once. There could be cases where it would improve performance to allow the NTUP_PER_BUCKET threshold to be exceeded to keep everything in one batch rather than spilling to a second batch, but attempts to generate such a case have so far been unsuccessful; that issue may be addressed with a follow-on patch after further investigation.
