patches that dealt with object ownership. It wasn't updating pg_shdepend
nor adjusting the aggregate's ACL. In 8.2 and up, fix this permanently
by making it use AlterFunctionOwner_oid. In 8.1, the function code wasn't
factored that way, so just copy and paste.

varoattno along with varattno. This resulted in having Vars that were not
seen as equal(), causing inheritance of the "same" constraint from different
parent relations to fail. An example is
create table pp1 (f1 int check (f1>0));
create table cc1 (f2 text, f3 int) inherits (pp1);
create table cc2(f4 float) inherits(pp1,cc1);
Backpatch as far as 7.4. (The test case still fails in 7.4, for reasons
that I don't feel like investigating at the moment.)
This is a backpatch commit only. The fix will be applied in HEAD as part
of the upcoming pg_constraint patch.

checked to see if it's been initialized to all non-nulls. The implicit NOT
NULL constraint was not being checked during the ALTER (in fact, not even if
there was an explicit NOT NULL too), because ATExecAddColumn neglected to
set the flag needed to make the test happen. This has been broken since
the capability was first added, in 8.0.

place to prevent reusing relation OIDs before next checkpoint, and DROP
DATABASE. First, if a database was dropped, bgwriter would still try to unlink
the files that the rmtree() call by the DROP DATABASE command has already
deleted, or is just about to delete. Second, if a database is dropped, and
another database is created with the same OID, bgwriter would in the worst
case delete a relation in the new database that happened to get the same OID
as a dropped relation in the old database.
To fix these race conditions:
- make rmtree() ignore ENOENT errors. This fixes the 1st race condition.
- make ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests forget unlink requests as well.
- force checkpoint on in dropdb on all platforms
Since ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests() is asynchronous, the 2nd change isn't
enough on its own to fix the problem of dropping and creating a database with
same OID, but forcing a checkpoint on DROP DATABASE makes it sufficient.
Per Tom Lane's bug report and proposal. Backpatch to 8.3.

corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the
whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to
SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure
macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care
of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method
for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem,
but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around.
Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1,
and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching
further.

classed all as "dead"; also get it to count DEAD item pointers as dead rows,
instead of ignoring them as before. Also improve matters so that tuples
previously inserted or deleted by our own transaction are handled nicely:
the stats collector's live-tuple and dead-tuple counts will end up correct
after our transaction ends, regardless of whether we end in commit or abort.
While there's more work that could be done to improve the counting of in-doubt
tuples in both VACUUM and ANALYZE, this commit is enough to alleviate some
known bad behaviors in 8.3; and the other stuff that's been discussed seems
like research projects anyway.

responsible for copying the query string into the new Portal. Such copying
is unnecessary in the common code path through exec_simple_query, and in
this case it can be enormously expensive because the string might contain
a large number of individual commands; we were copying the entire, long
string for each command, resulting in O(N^2) behavior for N commands.
(This is the cause of bug #4079.) A second problem with it is that
PortalDefineQuery really can't risk error, because if it elog's before
having set up the Portal, we will leak the plancache refcount that the
caller is trying to hand off to the portal. So go back to the design in
which the caller is responsible for making sure everything is copied into
the portal if necessary.

pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end
of the current transaction. This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on
pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there
was before. Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a
truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore
HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY. There is a small potential
incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN
and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting
row insertion or deletion, where before it would have. It seems unlikely
that anyone would be depending on that, though.
This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction.
That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly
allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so
disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.

calculating a page's initial free space was fine, and should not have been
"improved" by letting PageGetHeapFreeSpace do it. VACUUM FULL is going to
reclaim LP_DEAD line pointers later, so there is no need for a guard
against the page being too full of line pointers, and having one risks
rejecting pages that are perfectly good move destinations.
This also exposed a second bug, which is that the empty_end_pages logic
assumed that any page with no live tuples would get entered into the
fraged_pages list automatically (by virtue of having more free space than
the threshold in the do_frag calculation). This assumption certainly
seems risky when a low fillfactor has been chosen, and even without
tunable fillfactor I think it could conceivably fail on a page with many
unused line pointers. So fix the code to force do_frag true when notup
is true, and patch this part of the fix all the way back.
Per report from Tomas Szepe.

statement be a list of bare C strings, rather than String nodes, which is
what they need to be for copyfuncs/equalfuncs to work. Fortunately these
node types never go out to disk (if they did, we'd likely have noticed the
problem sooner), so we can just fix it without creating a need for initdb.
This bug has been there since 8.0, but 8.3 exposes it in a more common
code path (Parse messages) than prior releases did. Per bug #3940 from
Vladimir Kokovic.

tablespace permissions failures when copying an index that is in the
database's default tablespace. A side-effect of the change is that explicitly
specifying the default tablespace no longer triggers a permissions check;
this is not how it was done in pre-8.3 releases but is argued to be more
consistent. Per bug #3921 from Andrew Gilligan. (Note: I argued in the
subsequent discussion that maybe LIKE shouldn't copy index tablespaces
at all, but since no one indicated agreement with that idea, I've refrained
from doing it.)

operations when the current transaction has any open references to the
target relation or index (implying it has an active query using the relation).
The need for this was previously recognized in connection with ALTER TABLE,
but anything that summarily eliminates tuples or moves them around would
confuse an active scan.
While this patch does not in itself fix bug #3883 (the deadlock would happen
before the new check fires), it will discourage people from attempting the
sequence of operations that creates a deadlock risk, so it's at least a
partial response to that problem.
In passing, add a previously-missing check to REINDEX to prevent trying to
reindex another backend's temp table. This isn't a security problem since
only a superuser would get past the schema permission checks, but if we are
testing for this in other utility commands then surely REINDEX should too.

constraint, the constraint is renamed as well. This avoids inconsistent
situations that could confuse pg_dump (not to mention humans). We might at
some point provide ALTER TABLE RENAME CONSTRAINT as a more general solution,
but there seems no reason not to allow doing it this way too. Per bug #3854
and related discussions.

and CLUSTER) execute as the table owner rather than the calling user, using
the same privilege-switching mechanism already used for SECURITY DEFINER
functions. The purpose of this change is to ensure that user-defined
functions used in index definitions cannot acquire the privileges of a
superuser account that is performing routine maintenance. While a function
used in an index is supposed to be IMMUTABLE and thus not able to do anything
very interesting, there are several easy ways around that restriction; and
even if we could plug them all, there would remain a risk of reading sensitive
information and broadcasting it through a covert channel such as CPU usage.
To prevent bypassing this security measure, execution of SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION and SET ROLE is now forbidden within a SECURITY DEFINER context.
Thanks to Itagaki Takahiro for reporting this vulnerability.

in the current backend for the target table. These operations move tuples
around and would thus invalidate the TIDs stored in the trigger event records.
(We need not worry about events in other backends, since acquiring exclusive
lock should be enough to ensure there aren't any.) It might be sufficient
to forbid only the table-rewriting variants of ALTER TABLE, but in the absence
of any compelling use-case, let's just be safe and simple. Per follow-on
investigation of bug #3847, though this is not actually the same problem
reported therein.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but since the case has never been
reported from the field, I didn't bother.

were reporting ERROR for interactive assignments and LOG for other cases,
some were saying nothing for non-interactive cases, and a few did yet other
things. Make them use a new function GUC_complaint_elevel() to establish
a reasonably uniform policy about how to report. There are still a few
edge cases such as assign_search_path(), but it's much better than before.
Per gripe from Devrim Gunduz and subsequent discussion.
As noted by Alvaro, it'd be better to fold these custom messages into the
standard "invalid parameter value" complaint from guc.c, perhaps as the DETAIL
field. However that will require more redesign than seems prudent for 8.3.
This is a relatively safe, low-impact change that we can afford to risk now.

COPY. We need a restriction here because when the delimiter occurs as a
data character, it is emitted with a backslash, and that will only work
as desired if CopyReadAttributesText() will interpret the backslash sequence
as representing the second character literally. This is currently untrue
for 'b', 'f', 'n', 'r', 't', 'v', 'x', and octal digits. For future-proofing
and simplicity of explanation, it seems best to disallow a-z and 0-9.
We must also disallow dot, since "\." by itself would look like copy EOF.
Note: "\N" is by default the null print string, so N would also cause a
problem, but that is already tested for.

This prevented gettext from recognizing the strings that need to be
translated.

CopyAttributeOutText(), so that control characters are converted to the
C-style escape sequences even if they happen to be equal to the column
delimiter (as is true by default for tab, for example). Oversight in my

from Tomas Szepe.

namely that \r, \n, \t, \b, \f, \v are dumped as those two-character
representations rather than a backslash and the literal control character.
I had made it do the other to save some code, but this was ill-advised,
because dump files in which these characters appear literally are prone to
newline mangling. Fortunately, doing it the old way should only cost a few
more lines of code, and not slow down the copy loop materially.

constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other
small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed. Allow INCLUDING INDEXES
indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful,
but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty
unorthogonal). Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt(). Undo some
poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem
to be better places for them.

but no database changes have been made since the last CommandCounterIncrement.
This should result in a significant improvement in the number of "commands"
that can typically be performed within a transaction before hitting the 2^32
CommandId size limit. In particular this buys back (and more) the possible
adverse consequences of my previous patch to fix plan caching behavior.
The implementation requires tracking whether the current CommandCounter
value has been "used" to mark any tuples. CommandCounter values stored into
snapshots are presumed not to be used for this purpose. This requires some
small executor changes, since the executor used to conflate the curcid of
the snapshot it was using with the command ID to mark output tuples with.
Separating these concepts allows some small simplifications in executor APIs.
Something for the TODO list: look into having CommandCounterIncrement not do
AcceptInvalidationMessages. It seems fairly bogus to be doing it there,
but exactly where to do it instead isn't clear, and I'm disinclined to mess
with asynchronous behavior during late beta.

checkpoint. This guards against an unlikely data-loss scenario in which
we re-use the relfilenode, then crash, then replay the deletion and
recreation of the file. Even then we'd be OK if all insertions into the
new relation had been WAL-logged ... but that's not guaranteed given all
the no-WAL-logging optimizations that have recently been added.

even in code paths where we don't pay any subsequent attention to the typmod
value. This seems needed in view of the fact that 8.3's generalized typmod
support will accept a lot of bogus syntax, such as "timestamp(foo)" or
"record(int, 42)" --- if we allow such things to pass without comment,
users will get confused. Per a recent example from Greg Stark.
To implement this in a way that's not very vulnerable to future
bugs-of-omission, refactor the API of parse_type.c's TypeName lookup routines
so that typmod validation is folded into the base lookup operation. Callers
can still choose not to receive the encoded typmod, but we'll check the
decoration anyway if it's present.

foreign keys, one more time. Insist on matching up all three triggers before
we create a constraint; this will avoid creation of duplicate constraints
in scenarios where a broken FK constraint was repaired by re-adding the
constraint without removing the old partial trigger set. Basically, this will
work nicely in all cases where the FK was actually functioning correctly in
the database that was dumped. It will fail to restore an FK in just one case
where we theoretically could restore it: where we find the referenced table's
triggers and not the referencing table's trigger. However, in such a scenario
it's likely that the user doesn't even realize he still has an FK at all
(since the more-likely-to-fail cases aren't enforced), and we'd probably not
accomplish much except to cause the reload to fail because the data doesn't
meet the FK constraint. Also make the NOTICE logging still more verbose, by
adding detail about which of the triggers were found. This seems about all
we can do without solving the problem of getting the user's attention at
session end.

commands into proper foreign-key constraints. Believe the constraint name
given in the trigger arguments in preference to the trigger name --- to judge
from Olivier Prenant's example, pg_dump must at some time have used the
autogenerated trigger name there, though AFAICT no current release branch tip
does. Improve the emitted NOTICEs to provide more detail (PK table's name and
column names). Handle the case where pg_dump forgot to provide the FROM table
(a bug that never did get fixed in 7.0.x apparently). This commit doesn't
do anything about the question of what to do with incomplete trigger groups.
|
|
trigger definitions into regular foreign key constraints. This seems
necessary given that some people evidently never did get around to
running adddepend on their schemas, and without some sort of hack the
old definitions will no longer work. Per report from Olivier Prenant
and subsequent investigation.

Instead put in a test to drop a NULL default at the last moment before
storing the catalog entry. This changes the behavior in a couple of ways:
* Specifying DEFAULT NULL when creating an inheritance child table will
successfully suppress inheritance of any default expression from the
parent's column, where formerly it failed to do so.
* Specifying DEFAULT NULL for a column of a domain type will correctly
override any default belonging to the domain; likewise for a sub-domain.
The latter change happens because by the time the clause is checked,
it won't be a simple null Const but a CoerceToDomain expression.
Personally I think this should be back-patched, but there doesn't seem to
be consensus for that on pgsql-hackers, so refraining.

I'll put a more limited patch into 8.2.

renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so. For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway. (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)
Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using. To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.
It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs. However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.
Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly. The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.

on pg_global even to superusers, and replace it with checks in various
