2015-06-27Avoid passing NULL to memcmp() in lookups of zero-argument functions.Tom Lane
A few places assumed they could pass NULL for the argtypes array when looking up functions known to have zero arguments. At first glance it seems that this should be safe enough, since memcmp() is surely not allowed to fetch any bytes if its count argument is zero. However, close reading of the C standard says that such calls have undefined behavior, so we'd probably best avoid it. Since the number of places doing this is quite small, and some other places looking up zero-argument functions were already passing dummy arrays, let's standardize on the latter solution rather than hacking the function lookup code to avoid calling memcmp() in these cases. I also added Asserts to catch any future violations of the new rule. Given the utter lack of any evidence that this actually causes any problems in the field, I don't feel a need to back-patch this change. Per report from Piotr Stefaniak, though this is not his patch.

2015-05-20Collection of typo fixes.Heikki Linnakangas
Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one of these, but I found a lot more with grep. Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos. For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/ "through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira. Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.

2015-05-19Refactor ON CONFLICT index inference parse tree representation.Andres Freund
Defer lookup of opfamily and input type of a of a user specified opclass until the optimizer selects among available unique indexes; and store the opclass in the parse analyzed tree instead. The primary reason for doing this is that for rule deparsing it's easier to use the opclass than the previous representation. While at it also rename a variable in the inference code to better fit it's purpose. This is separate from the actual fixes for deparsing to make review easier.

2015-05-16Support GROUPING SETS, CUBE and ROLLUP.Andres Freund
This SQL standard functionality allows to aggregate data by different GROUP BY clauses at once. Each grouping set returns rows with columns grouped by in other sets set to NULL. This could previously be achieved by doing each grouping as a separate query, conjoined by UNION ALLs. Besides being considerably more concise, grouping sets will in many cases be faster, requiring only one scan over the underlying data. The current implementation of grouping sets only supports using sorting for input. Individual sets that share a sort order are computed in one pass. If there are sets that don't share a sort order, additional sort & aggregation steps are performed. These additional passes are sourced by the previous sort step; thus avoiding repeated scans of the source data. The code is structured in a way that adding support for purely using hash aggregation or a mix of hashing and sorting is possible. Sorting was chosen to be supported first, as it is the most generic method of implementation. Instead of, as in an earlier versions of the patch, representing the chain of sort and aggregation steps as full blown planner and executor nodes, all but the first sort are performed inside the aggregation node itself. This avoids the need to do some unusual gymnastics to handle having to return aggregated and non-aggregated tuples from underlying nodes, as well as having to shut down underlying nodes early to limit memory usage. The optimizer still builds Sort/Agg node to describe each phase, but they're not part of the plan tree, but instead additional data for the aggregation node. They're a convenient and preexisting way to describe aggregation and sorting. The first (and possibly only) sort step is still performed as a separate execution step. That retains similarity with existing group by plans, makes rescans fairly simple, avoids very deep plans (leading to slow explains) and easily allows to avoid the sorting step if the underlying data is sorted by other means. A somewhat ugly side of this patch is having to deal with a grammar ambiguity between the new CUBE keyword and the cube extension/functions named cube (and rollup). To avoid breaking existing deployments of the cube extension it has not been renamed, neither has cube been made a reserved keyword. Instead precedence hacking is used to make GROUP BY cube(..) refer to the CUBE grouping sets feature, and not the function cube(). To actually group by a function cube(), unlikely as that might be, the function name has to be quoted. Needs a catversion bump because stored rules may change.

2015-05-11Allow on-the-fly capture of DDL event detailsAlvaro Herrera
This feature lets user code inspect and take action on DDL events. Whenever a ddl_command_end event trigger is installed, DDL actions executed are saved to a list which can be inspected during execution of a function attached to ddl_command_end. The set-returning function pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands can be used to list actions so captured; it returns data about the type of command executed, as well as the affected object. This is sufficient for many uses of this feature. For the cases where it is not, we also provide a "command" column of a new pseudo-type pg_ddl_command, which is a pointer to a C structure that can be accessed by C code. The struct contains all the info necessary to completely inspect and even reconstruct the executed command. There is no actual deparse code here; that's expected to come later. What we have is enough infrastructure that the deparsing can be done in an external extension. The intention is that we will add some deparsing code in a later release, as an in-core extension. A new test module is included. It's probably insufficient as is, but it should be sufficient as a starting point for a more complete and future-proof approach.

2015-05-08Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund
The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table.

Previously, relation range table entries used a single Bitmapset field representing which columns required either UPDATE or INSERT privileges, despite the fact that INSERT and UPDATE privileges are separately cataloged, and may be independently held. As statements so far required either insert or update privileges but never both, that was sufficient. The required permission could be inferred from the top level statement run. The upcoming INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE feature needs to independently check for both privileges in one statement though, so that is not sufficient anymore.

2015-04-25Add comments warning against generalizing default_with_oids.Tom Lane
pg_dump has historically assumed that default_with_oids affects only plain tables and not other relkinds. Conceivably we could make it apply to some newly invented relkind if we did so from the get-go, but changing the behavior for existing object types will break existing dump scripts. Add code comments warning about this interaction. Also, make sure that default_with_oids doesn't cause parse_utilcmd.c to think that CREATE FOREIGN TABLE will create an OID column. I think this is only a latent bug right now, since we don't allow UNIQUE/PKEY constraints in CREATE FOREIGN TABLE, but it's better to be consistent and future-proof.

2015-04-03Transform ALTER TABLE/SET TYPE/USING expr during parse analysisAlvaro Herrera
This lets later stages have access to the transformed expression; in particular it allows DDL-deparsing code during event triggers to pass the transformed expression to ruleutils.c, so that the complete command can be deparsed. This shuffles the timing of the transform calls a bit: previously, nothing was transformed during parse analysis, and only the RELKIND_RELATION case was being handled during execution. After this patch, all expressions are transformed during parse analysis (including those for relkinds other than RELATION), and the error for other relation kinds is thrown only during execution. So we do more work than before to reject some bogus cases. That seems acceptable.

2015-03-22Allow foreign tables to participate in inheritance.Tom Lane
Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks. As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops for most. An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified in EXPLAIN output, for example: Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46) Update on pt1 Foreign Update on ft1 Foreign Update on ft2 Update on child3 -> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46) This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL" fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables are involved.

2015-03-18Rationalize vacuuming options and parametersAlvaro Herrera
We were involving the parser too much in setting up initial vacuuming parameters. This patch moves that responsibility elsewhere to simplify code, and also to make future additions easier. To do this, create a new struct VacuumParams which is filled just prior to vacuum execution, instead of at parse time; for user-invoked vacuuming this is set up in a new function ExecVacuum, while autovacuum sets it up by itself. While at it, add a new member VACOPT_SKIPTOAST to enum VacuumOption, only set by autovacuum, which is used to disable vacuuming of the toast table instead of the old do_toast parameter; this relieves the argument list of vacuum() and some callees a bit. This partially makes up for having added more arguments in an effort to avoid having autovacuum from constructing a VacuumStmt parse node. Author: Michael Paquier.

2015-03-16Support opfamily members in get_object_addressAlvaro Herrera
In the spirit of 890192e99af and 4464303405f: have get_object_address understand individual pg_amop and pg_amproc objects. There is no way to refer to such objects directly in the grammar -- rather, they are almost always considered an integral part of the opfamily that contains them. (The only case that deals with them individually is ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY ADD/DROP, which carries the opfamily address separately and thus does not need it to be part of each added/dropped element's address.) In event triggers it becomes possible to become involved with individual amop/amproc elements, and this commit enables pg_get_object_address to do so as well. To make the overall coding simpler, this commit also slightly changes the get_object_address representation for opclasses and opfamilies: instead of having the AM name in the objargs array, I moved it as the first element of the objnames array. This enables the new code to use objargs for the type names used by pg_amop and pg_amproc. Reviewed by: Stephen Frost
2015-03-15Improve representation of PlanRowMark.Tom Lane
This patch fixes two inadequacies of the PlanRowMark representation. First, that the original LockingClauseStrength isn't stored (and cannot be inferred for foreign tables, which always get ROW_MARK_COPY). Since some PlanRowMarks are created out of whole cloth and don't actually have an ancestral RowMarkClause, this requires adding a dummy LCS_NONE value to enum LockingClauseStrength, which is fairly annoying but the alternatives seem worse. This fix allows getting rid of the use of get_parse_rowmark() in FDWs (as per the discussion around commits 462bd95705a0c23b and 8ec8760fc87ecde0), and it simplifies some things elsewhere. Second, that the representation assumed that all child tables in an inheritance hierarchy would use the same RowMarkType. That's true today but will soon not be true. We add an "allMarkTypes" field that identifies the union of mark types used in all a parent table's children, and use that where appropriate (currently, only in preprocess_targetlist()). In passing fix a couple of minor infelicities left over from the SKIP LOCKED patch, notably that _outPlanRowMark still thought waitPolicy is a bool. Catversion bump is required because the numeric values of enum LockingClauseStrength can appear in on-disk rules. Extracted from a much larger patch to support foreign table inheritance; it seemed worth breaking this out, since it's a separable concern. Shigeru Hanada and Etsuro Fujita, somewhat modified by me

2015-03-11Make operator precedence follow the SQL standard more closely.Tom Lane
While the SQL standard is pretty vague on the overall topic of operator precedence (because it never presents a unified BNF for all expressions), it does seem reasonable to conclude from the spec for <boolean value expression> that OR has the lowest precedence, then AND, then NOT, then IS tests, then the six standard comparison operators, then everything else (since any non-boolean operator in a WHERE clause would need to be an argument of one of these). We were only sort of on board with that: most notably, while "<" ">" and "=" had properly low precedence, "<=" ">=" and "<>" were treated as generic operators and so had significantly higher precedence. And "IS" tests were even higher precedence than those, which is very clearly wrong per spec. Another problem was that "foo NOT SOMETHING bar" constructs, such as "x NOT LIKE y", were treated inconsistently because of a bison implementation artifact: they had the documented precedence with respect to operators to their right, but behaved like NOT (i.e., very low priority) with respect to operators to their left. Fixing the precedence issues is just a small matter of rearranging the precedence declarations in gram.y, except for the NOT problem, which requires adding an additional lookahead case in base_yylex() so that we can attach a different token precedence to NOT LIKE and allied two-word operators. The bulk of this patch is not the bug fix per se, but adding logic to parse_expr.c to allow giving warnings if an expression has changed meaning because of these precedence changes. These warnings are off by default and are enabled by the new GUC operator_precedence_warning. It's believed that very few applications will be affected by these changes, but it was agreed that a warning mechanism is essential to help debug any that are.
2015-03-11Suggest to the user the column they may have meant to reference.Robert Haas
Error messages informing the user that no such column exists can sometimes provoke a perplexed response. This often happens due to a subtle typo in the column name or, perhaps less likely, in the alias name. To speed discovery of what the real issue is in such cases, we'll now search the range table for approximate matches. If there are one or two such matches that are good enough to think that they might be what the user intended to type, and better than all other approximate matches, we'll issue a hint suggesting that the user might have intended to reference those columns.

SQL has standardized on => as the use of to specify named parameters, and we've wanted for many years to support the same syntax ourselves, but this has been complicated by the possible use of => as an operator name. In PostgreSQL 9.0, we began emitting a warning when an operator named => was defined, and in PostgreSQL 9.2, we stopped shipping a =>(text, text) operator as part of hstore. By the time the next major version of PostgreSQL is released, => will have been deprecated for a full five years, so hopefully there won't be too many people still relying on it. We continue to support := for compatibility with previous PostgreSQL releases. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Petr Jelinek, with a few documentation tweaks by me.

2015-02-24Improve parser's one-extra-token lookahead mechanism.Tom Lane
There are a couple of places in our grammar that fail to be strict LALR(1), by requiring more than a single token of lookahead to decide what to do. Up to now we've dealt with that by using a filter between the lexer and parser that merges adjacent tokens into one in the places where two tokens of lookahead are necessary. But that creates a number of user-visible anomalies, for instance that you can't name a CTE "ordinality" because "WITH ordinality AS ..." triggers folding of WITH and ORDINALITY into one token. I realized that there's a better way. In this patch, we still do the lookahead basically as before, but we never merge the second token into the first; we replace just the first token by a special lookahead symbol when one of the lookahead pairs is seen. This requires a couple extra productions in the grammar, but it involves fewer special tokens, so that the grammar tables come out a bit smaller than before. The filter logic is no slower than before, perhaps a bit faster. I also fixed the filter logic so that when backing up after a lookahead, the current token's terminator is correctly restored; this eliminates some weird behavior in error message issuance, as is shown by the one change in existing regression test outputs. I believe that this patch entirely eliminates odd behaviors caused by lookahead for WITH. It doesn't really improve the situation for NULLS followed by FIRST/LAST unfortunately: those sequences still act like a reserved word, even though there are cases where they should be seen as two ordinary identifiers, eg "SELECT nulls first FROM ...". I experimented with additional grammar hacks but couldn't find any simple solution for that. Still, this is better than before, and it seems much more likely that we *could* somehow solve the NULLS case on the basis of this filter behavior than the previous one.
2015-02-23Further tweaking of raw grammar output to distinguish different inputs.Tom Lane
Use a different A_Expr_Kind for LIKE/ILIKE/SIMILAR TO constructs, so that they can be distinguished from direct invocation of the underlying operators. Also, postpone selection of the operator name when transforming "x IN (select)" to "x = ANY (select)", so that those syntaxes can be told apart at parse analysis time. I had originally thought I'd also have to do something special for the syntaxes IS NOT DISTINCT FROM, IS NOT DOCUMENT, and x NOT IN (SELECT...), which the grammar translates as though they were NOT (construct). On reflection though, we can distinguish those cases reliably by noting whether the parse location shown for the NOT is the same as for its child node. This only requires tweaking the parse locations for NOT IN, which I've done here. These changes should have no effect outside the parser; they're just in support of being able to give accurate warnings for planned operator precedence changes.

2015-02-22Get rid of multiple applications of transformExpr() to the same tree.Tom Lane
transformExpr() has for many years had provisions to do nothing when applied to an already-transformed expression tree. However, this was always ugly and of dubious reliability, so we'd be much better off without it. The primary historical reason for it was that gram.y sometimes returned multiple links to the same subexpression, which is no longer true as of my BETWEEN fixes. We'd also grown some lazy hacks in CREATE TABLE LIKE (failing to distinguish between raw and already-transformed index specifications) and one or two other places. This patch removes the need for and support for re-transforming already transformed expressions. The index case is dealt with by adding a flag to struct IndexStmt to indicate that it's already been transformed; which has some benefit anyway in that tablecmds.c can now Assert that transformation has happened rather than just assuming. The other main reason was some rather sloppy code for array type coercion, which can be fixed (and its performance improved too) by refactoring. I did leave transformJoinUsingClause() still constructing expressions containing untransformed operator nodes being applied to Vars, so that transformExpr() still has to allow Var inputs. But that's a much narrower, and safer, special case than before, since Vars will never appear in a raw parse tree, and they don't have any substructure to worry about. In passing fix some oversights in the patch that added CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS (missing processing of IndexStmt.if_not_exists). These appear relatively harmless, but still sloppy coding practice.
2015-02-22Represent BETWEEN as a special node type in raw parse trees.Tom Lane
Previously, gram.y itself converted BETWEEN into AND (or AND/OR) nests of expression comparisons. This was always as bogus as could be, but fixing it hasn't risen to the top of the to-do list. The present patch invents an A_Expr representation for BETWEEN expressions, and does the expansion to comparison trees in parse_expr.c which is at least a slightly saner place to be doing semantic conversions. There should be no change in the post- parse-analysis results. This does nothing for the semantic issues with BETWEEN (dubious connection to btree-opclass semantics, and multiple evaluation of possibly volatile subexpressions) ... but it's a necessary preliminary step before we could fix any of that. The main immediate benefit is that preserving BETWEEN as an identifiable raw-parse-tree construct will enable better error messages. While at it, fix the code so that multiply-referenced subexpressions are physically duplicated before being passed through transformExpr(). This gets rid of one of the principal reasons why transformExpr() has historically had to allow already-processed input.

2015-01-22Prevent duplicate escape-string warnings when using pg_stat_statements.Tom Lane
contrib/pg_stat_statements will sometimes run the core lexer a second time on submitted statements. Formerly, if you had standard_conforming_strings turned off, this led to sometimes getting two copies of any warnings enabled by escape_string_warning. While this is probably no longer a big deal in the field, it's a pain for regression testing. To fix, change the lexer so it doesn't consult the escape_string_warning GUC variable directly, but looks at a copy in the core_yy_extra_type state struct. Then, pg_stat_statements can change that copy to disable warnings while it's redoing the lexing. It seemed like a good idea to make this happen for all three of the GUCs consulted by the lexer, not just escape_string_warning. There's not an immediate use-case for callers to adjust the other two AFAIK, but making it possible is easy enough and seems like good future-proofing. Arguably this is a bug fix, but there doesn't seem to be enough interest to justify a back-patch. We'd not be able to back-patch exactly as-is anyway, for fear of breaking ABI compatibility of the struct. (We could perhaps back-patch the addition of only escape_string_warning by adding it at the end of the struct, where there's currently alignment padding space.)
2015-01-12Fix get_object_address argument type for extension statementAlvaro Herrera
Commit 3f88672a4 neglected to update the AlterExtensionContentsStmt production in the grammar to use TypeName to represent types when passing objects to get_object_address. Reported as a pg_upgrade failure by Jeff Janes.

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.

2014-12-23Add 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.
