2020-12-01Ensure that expandTableLikeClause() re-examines the same table.Tom Lane
As it stood, expandTableLikeClause() re-did the same relation_openrv call that transformTableLikeClause() had done. However there are scenarios where this would not find the same table as expected. We hold lock on the LIKE source table, so it can't be renamed or dropped, but another table could appear before it in the search path. This explains the odd behavior reported in bug #16758 when cloning a table as a temp table of the same name. This case worked as expected before commit 502898192 introduced the need to open the source table twice, so we should fix it. To make really sure we get the same table, let's re-open it by OID not name. That requires adding an OID field to struct TableLikeClause, which is a little nervous-making from an ABI standpoint, but as long as it's at the end I don't think there's any serious risk. Per bug #16758 from Marc Boeren. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16758-840e84a6cfab276d@postgresql.org

2020-11-19Remove undocumented IS [NOT] OF syntax.Tom Lane
This feature was added a long time ago, in 7c1e67bd5 and eb121ba2c, but never documented in any user-facing way. (Documentation added in 6126d3e70 was commented out almost immediately, in 8272fc3f7.) That's because, while this syntax is defined by SQL:99, our implementation is only vaguely related to the standard's semantics. The standard appears to intend a run-time not parse-time test, and it definitely intends that the test should understand subtype relationships. No one has stepped up to fix that in the intervening years, but people keep coming across the code and asking why it's not documented. Let's just get rid of it: if anyone ever wants to make it work per spec, they can easily recover whatever parts of this code are still of value from our git history. If there's anyone out there who's actually using this despite its undocumented status, they can switch to using pg_typeof() instead, eg. "pg_typeof(something) = 'mytype'::regtype". That gives essentially the same semantics as what our IS OF code did. (We didn't have that function last time this was discussed, or we would have ripped out IS OF then.)

2020-11-19Further fixes for CREATE TABLE LIKE: cope with self-referential FKs.Tom Lane
Commit 502898192 was too careless about the order of execution of the additional ALTER TABLE operations generated by expandTableLikeClause. It just stuck them all at the end, which seems okay for most purposes. But it falls down in the case where LIKE is importing a primary key or unique index and the outer CREATE TABLE includes a FOREIGN KEY constraint that needs to depend on that index. Weird as that is, it used to work, so we ought to keep it working. To fix, make parse_utilcmd.c insert LIKE clauses between index-creation and FK-creation commands in the transformed list of commands, and change utility.c so that the commands generated by expandTableLikeClause are executed immediately not at the end. One could imagine scenarios where this wouldn't work either; but currently expandTableLikeClause only makes column default expressions, CHECK constraints, and indexes, and this ordering seems fine for those. Per bug #16730 from Sofoklis Papasofokli. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16730-b902f7e6e0276b30@postgresql.org

This is mostly straightforward. However, we disallow replacing constraint triggers or changing the is-constraint property; perhaps that can be added later, but the complexity versus benefit tradeoff doesn't look very good. Also, no special thought is taken here for whether replacing an existing trigger should result in changes to queued-but-not-fired trigger actions. We just document that if you're surprised by the results, too bad, don't do that. (Note that any such pending trigger activity would have to be within the current session.)

2020-11-04Improve our ability to regurgitate SQL-syntax function calls.Tom Lane
The SQL spec calls out nonstandard syntax for certain function calls, for example substring() with numeric position info is supposed to be spelled "SUBSTRING(string FROM start FOR count)". We accept many of these things, but up to now would not print them in the same format, instead simplifying down to "substring"(string, start, count). That's long annoyed me because it creates an interoperability problem: we're gratuitously injecting Postgres-specific syntax into what might otherwise be a perfectly spec-compliant view definition. However, the real reason for addressing it right now is to support a planned change in the semantics of EXTRACT() a/k/a date_part(). When we switch that to returning numeric, we'll have the parser translate EXTRACT() to some new function name (might as well be "extract" if you ask me) and then teach ruleutils.c to reverse-list that per SQL spec. In this way existing calls to date_part() will continue to have the old semantics. To implement this, invent a new CoercionForm value COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX, and make the parser insert that rather than COERCE_EXPLICIT_CALL when the input has SQL-spec decoration. (But if the input has the form of a plain function call, continue to mark it COERCE_EXPLICIT_CALL, even if it's calling one of these functions.) Then ruleutils.c recognizes COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX as a cue to emit SQL call syntax. It can know which decoration to emit using hard-wired knowledge about the functions that could be called this way. (While this solution isn't extensible without manual additions, neither is the grammar, so this doesn't seem unmaintainable.) Notice that this solution will reverse-list a function call with SQL decoration only if it was entered that way; so dump-and-reload will not by itself produce any changes in the appearance of views. This requires adding a CoercionForm field to struct FuncCall. (I couldn't resist the temptation to rearrange that struct's field order a tad while I was at it.) FuncCall doesn't appear in stored rules, so that change isn't a reason for a catversion bump, but I did one anyway because the new enum value for CoercionForm fields could confuse old backend code. Possible future work: * Perhaps CoercionForm should now be renamed to DisplayForm, or something like that, to reflect its more general meaning. This'd require touching a couple hundred places, so it's not clear it's worth the code churn. * The SQLValueFunction node type, which was invented partly for the same goal of improving SQL-compatibility of view output, could perhaps be replaced with regular function calls marked with COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX. It's unclear if this would be a net code savings, however. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/42b73d2d-da12-ba9f-570a-420e0cce19d9@phystech.edu

2020-10-28Calculate extraUpdatedCols in query rewriter, not parser.Tom Lane
It's unsafe to do this at parse time because addition of generated columns to a table would not invalidate stored rules containing UPDATEs on the table ... but there might now be dependent generated columns that were not there when the rule was made. This also fixes an oversight that rewriteTargetView failed to update extraUpdatedCols when transforming an UPDATE on an updatable view. (Since the new calculation is downstream of that, rewriteTargetView doesn't actually need to do anything; but before, there was a demonstrable bug there.) In v13 and HEAD, this leads to easily-visible bugs because (since commit c6679e4fc) we won't recalculate generated columns that aren't listed in extraUpdatedCols. In v12 this bitmap is mostly just used for trigger-firing decisions, so you'd only notice a problem if a trigger cared whether a generated column had been updated. I'd complained about this back in May, but then forgot about it until bug #16671 from Michael Paul Killian revived the issue. Back-patch to v12 where this field was introduced. If existing stored rules contain any extraUpdatedCols values, they'll be ignored because the rewriter will overwrite them, so the bug will be fixed even for existing rules. (But note that if someone were to update to 13.1 or 12.5, store some rules with UPDATEs on tables having generated columns, and then downgrade to a prior minor version, they might observe issues similar to what this patch fixes. That seems unlikely enough to not be worth going to a lot of effort to fix.)

The logic in select_common_typmod() isn't very exciting, but it makes the code more compact and readable in a few locations, and in the future we can perhaps do more complicated things if desired.

2020-10-22Optimize a few list_delete_ptr callsDavid Rowley
There is a handful of places where we called list_delete_ptr() to remove some element from a List. In many of these places we know, or with very little additional effort know the index of the ListCell that we need to remove. Here we change all of those places to instead either use one of; list_delete_nth_cell(), foreach_delete_current() or list_delete_last(). Each of these saves from having to iterate over the list to search for the element to remove by its pointer value. There are some small performance gains to be had by doing this, but in the general case, none of these lists are likely to be very large, so the lookup was probably never that expensive anyway. However, some of the calls are in fairly hot code paths, e.g process_equivalence(). So any small gains there are useful.

2020-10-04Make postgres.bki use the same literal-string syntax as postgresql.conf.Tom Lane
The BKI file's string quoting conventions were previously quite weird, perhaps as a result of repurposing a function built to scan single-quoted strings to scan double-quoted ones. Change to use the same rules as we use in GUC files, allowing some simplifications in genbki.pl and initdb.c. While at it, completely remove the backend's scanstr() function, which was essentially a duplicate of the string dequoting code in guc-file.l. Instead export that one (under a less generic name than it had) and let bootscanner.l use it. Now we can clarify that scansup.c exists only to support the main lexer. We could alternatively have removed GUC_scanstr, but this way seems better since the previous arrangement could mislead a reader into thinking that scanstr() had something to do with the main lexer's handling of string literals. Maybe it did once, but if so it was a long time ago. This patch does not bump catversion, since the initially-installed catalog contents don't change. Note however that successful initdb after applying this patch will require up-to-date postgres.bki as well as postgres and initdb executables. In passing, remove a bunch of very-long-obsolete #include's in bootparse.y and bootscanner.l.

2020-09-28Add for_each_from, to simplify loops starting from non-first list cells.Tom Lane
We have a dozen or so places that need to iterate over all but the first cell of a List. Prior to v13 this was typically written as for_each_cell(lc, lnext(list_head(list))) Commit 1cff1b95a changed these to for_each_cell(lc, list, list_second_cell(list)) This patch introduces a new macro for_each_from() which expresses the start point as a list index, allowing these to be written as for_each_from(lc, list, 1) This is marginally more efficient, since ForEachState.i can be initialized directly instead of backing into it from a ListCell address. It also seems clearer and less typo-prone. Some of the remaining uses of for_each_cell() look like they could profitably be changed to for_each_from(), but here I confined myself to changing uses of list_second_cell(). Also, fix for_each_cell_setup() and for_both_cell_setup() to const-ify their arguments; that's a simple oversight in 1cff1b95a. Back-patch into v13, on the grounds that (1) the const-ification is a minor bug fix, and (2) it's better for back-patching purposes if we only have two ways to write these loops rather than three. In HEAD, also remove list_third_cell() and list_fourth_cell(), which were also introduced in 1cff1b95a, and are unused as of cc99baa43. It seems unlikely that any third-party code would have started to use them already; anyone who has can be directed to list_nth_cell instead.

2020-09-18Allow most keywords to be used as column labels without requiring AS.Tom Lane
Up to now, if you tried to omit "AS" before a column label in a SELECT list, it would only work if the column label was an IDENT, that is not any known keyword. This is rather unfriendly considering that we have so many keywords and are constantly growing more. In the wake of commit 1ed6b8956 it's possible to improve matters quite a bit. We'd originally tried to make this work by having some of the existing keyword categories be allowed without AS, but that didn't work too well, because each category contains a few special cases that don't work without AS. Instead, invent an entirely orthogonal keyword property "can be bare column label", and mark all keywords that way for which we don't get shift/reduce errors by doing so. It turns out that of our 450 current keywords, all but 39 can be made bare column labels, improving the situation by over 90%. This number might move around a little depending on future grammar work, but it's a pretty nice improvement.

Note that pg_dump and psql continue to have full support, since they may be used against older servers. However, pg_dump warns about postfix operators. There is also a check in pg_upgrade.

2020-08-21Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.Tom Lane
If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance, Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor). In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions, even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance parents. The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(), which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via inheritance. Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed DefineRelation(). The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults).

However, in the parse nodes AlterTableStmt and CreateTableAsStmt, "relkind" was used for a field of type enum ObjectType, that could refer to other object types than those possible for a relkind. Such fields being usually named "objtype", switch the name in both structures to make things more consistent. Note that this led to some confusion in functions that also operate on a RangeTableEntry object, which also has a field named "relkind". This naming goes back to commit 09d4e96, where only OBJECT_TABLE and OBJECT_INDEX were used. This got extended later to use as well OBJECT_TYPE with e440e12, not really a relation kind.

2020-06-29Mop up some no-longer-necessary hacks around printf %.*s format.Tom Lane
Commit 54cd4f045 added some kluges to work around an old glibc bug, namely that %.*s could misbehave if glibc thought any characters in the supplied string were incorrectly encoded. Now that we use our own snprintf.c implementation, we need not worry about that bug (even if it still exists in the wild). Revert a couple of particularly ugly hacks, and remove or improve assorted comments. Note that there can still be encoding-related hazards here: blindly clipping at a fixed length risks producing wrongly-encoded output if the clip splits a multibyte character. However, code that's doing correct multibyte-aware clipping doesn't really need a comment about that, while code that isn't needs an explanation why not, rather than a red-herring comment about an obsolete bug.

2020-06-29Add current substring regular expression syntaxPeter Eisentraut
SQL:1999 had syntax SUBSTRING(text FROM pattern FOR escapechar) but this was replaced in SQL:2003 by the more clear SUBSTRING(text SIMILAR pattern ESCAPE escapechar) but this was never implemented in PostgreSQL. This patch adds that new syntax as an alternative in the parser, and updates documentation and tests to indicate that this is the preferred alternative now.

Unify the grammar of COMMENT, DROP, and SECURITY LABEL further. They all effectively just take an object address for later processing, so we can make the grammar more generalized. Some extra checking about which object types are supported can be done later in the statement execution.

This should be plain old ColId. Making it so makes the grammar less complicated, and makes the compiled tables a kilobyte or so smaller (likely because they don't have to deal with a keyword classification that's not used anyplace else).

Thomas Munro fixed a longstanding annoyance in pg_bsd_indent, that it would misformat lines containing IsA() macros on the assumption that the IsA() call should be treated like a cast. This improves some other cases involving field/variable names that match typedefs, too. The only places that get worse are a couple of uses of the OpenSSL macro STACK_OF(); we'll gladly take that trade-off. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200114221814.GA19630@alvherre.pgsql
