2025-01-29Handle default NULL insertion a little better.Tom Lane
If a column is omitted in an INSERT, and there's no column default, the code in preptlist.c generates a NULL Const to be inserted. Furthermore, if the column is of a domain type, we wrap the Const in CoerceToDomain, so as to throw a run-time error if the domain has a NOT NULL constraint. That's fine as far as it goes, but there are two problems: 1. We're being sloppy about the type/typmod that the Const is labeled with. It really should have the domain's base type/typmod, since it's the input to CoerceToDomain not the output. This can result in coerce_to_domain inserting a useless length-coercion function (useless because it's being applied to a null). The coercion would typically get const-folded away later, but it'd be better not to create it in the first place. 2. We're not applying expression preprocessing (specifically, eval_const_expressions) to the resulting expression tree. The planner's primary expression-preprocessing pass already happened, so that means the length coercion step and CoerceToDomain node miss preprocessing altogether. This is at the least inefficient, since it means the length coercion and CoerceToDomain will actually be executed for each inserted row, though they could be const-folded away in most cases. Worse, it seems possible that missing preprocessing for the length coercion could result in an invalid plan (for example, due to failing to perform default-function-argument insertion). I'm not aware of any live bug of that sort with core datatypes, and it might be unreachable for extension types as well because of restrictions of CREATE CAST, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's unreachable. Hence, it seems worth back-patching the fix (although I only went back to v14, as the patch doesn't apply cleanly at all in v13). There are several places in the rewriter that are building null domain constants the same way as preptlist.c. While those are before the planner and hence don't have any reachable bug, they're still applying a length coercion that will be const-folded away later, uselessly wasting cycles. Hence, make a utility routine that all of these places can call to do it right. Making this code more careful about the typmod assigned to the generated NULL constant has visible but cosmetic effects on some of the plans shown in contrib/postgres_fdw's regression tests.

2024-09-17Repair pg_upgrade for identity sequences with non-default persistence.Tom Lane
Since we introduced unlogged sequences in v15, identity sequences have defaulted to having the same persistence as their owning table. However, it is possible to change that with ALTER SEQUENCE, and pg_dump tries to preserve the logged-ness of sequences when it doesn't match (as indeed it wouldn't for an unlogged table from before v15). The fly in the ointment is that ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED fails in binary-upgrade mode, because it needs to assign a new relfilenode which we cannot permit in that mode. Thus, trying to pg_upgrade a database containing a mismatching identity sequence failed. To fix, add syntax to ADD/ALTER COLUMN GENERATED AS IDENTITY to allow the sequence's persistence to be set correctly at creation, and use that instead of ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED in pg_dump. (I tried to make SET [UN]LOGGED work without any pg_dump modifications, but that seems too fragile to be a desirable answer. This way should be markedly faster anyhow.) In passing, document the previously-undocumented SEQUENCE NAME option that pg_dump also relies on for identity sequences; I see no value in trying to pretend it doesn't exist. Per bug #18618 from Anthony Hsu. Back-patch to v15 where we invented this stuff. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18618-d4eb26d669ed110a@postgresql.org
2024-09-11Remove incorrect Assert.Tom Lane
check_agglevels_and_constraints() asserted that if we find an aggregate function in an EXPR_KIND_FROM_SUBSELECT expression, the expression must be in a LATERAL subquery. Alexander Lakhin found a case where that's not so: because of the odd scoping rules for NEW/OLD within a rule, a reference to NEW/OLD could cause an aggregate to be considered top-level even though it's in an unmarked sub-select. The error message that would be thrown seems sufficiently on-point, so just remove the Assert. (Hence, this is not a bug for production builds.) This Assert was added by me in commit eaccfded9 (9.3 era). It looks like I put it in to cross-check that the new logic for detecting misplaced aggregates (using agglevelsup) caught the same cases that a previous check on p_lateral_active did. So there might have been some related misbehavior before eaccfded9 ... but that's very ancient history by now, so I didn't dig any deeper. Per bug #18608 from Alexander Lakhin.

2024-09-05Prevent mis-encoding of "trailing junk after numeric literal" errors.Tom Lane
Since commit 2549f0661, we reject an identifier immediately following a numeric literal (without separating whitespace), because that risks ambiguity with hex/octal/binary integers. However, that patch used token patterns like "{integer}{ident_start}", which is problematic because {ident_start} matches only a single byte. If the first character after the integer is a multibyte character, this ends up with flex reporting an error message that includes a partial multibyte character. That can cause assorted bad-encoding problems downstream, both in the report to the client and in the postmaster log file. To fix, use {identifier} not {ident_start} in the "junk" token patterns, so that they will match complete multibyte characters. This seems generally better user experience quite aside from the encoding problem: for "123abc" the error message will now say that the error appeared at or near "123abc" instead of "123a". While at it, add some commentary about why these patterns exist and how they work. Report and patch by Karina Litskevich; review by Pavel Borisov. Back-patch to v15 where the problem came in.

2024-07-30SQL/JSON: Some fixes to JsonBehavior expression castingAmit Langote
1. Remove the special case handling when casting the JsonBehavior expressions to types with typmod, like 86d33987 did for the casting of SQL/JSON constructor functions. 2. Fix casting for fixed-length character and bit string types by using assignment-level casts. This is again similar to what 86d33987 did, but for ON ERROR / EMPTY expressions. 3. Use runtime coercion for the boolean ON ERROR constants so that using fixed-length character string types, for example, for an EXISTS column doesn't cause a "value too long for type character(n)" when the parser tries to coerce the default ON ERROR value "false" to that type, that is, even when clause is not specified. 4. Simplify the conditions of when to use runtime coercion vs creating the cast expression in the parser itself. jsonb-valued expressions are now always coerced at runtime and boolean expressions too if the target type is a string type for the reasons mentioned above. New tests are from a patch that Jian He posted. Outputs of some existing tests change because the coercion now happens at runtime instead of at parse time.

2024-07-17SQL/JSON: Rethink c2d93c3802bAmit Langote
This essentially reverts c2d93c3802b except tests. The problem with c2d93c3802b was that it only changed the casting behavior for types with typmod, and had coding issues noted in the post-commit review. This commit changes coerceJsonFuncExpr() to use assignment-level casts instead of explicit casts to coerce the result of JSON constructor functions to the specified or the default RETURNING type. Using assignment-level casts fixes the problem that using explicit casts was leading to the wrong typmod / length coercion behavior -- truncating results longer than the specified length instead of erroring out -- which c2d93c3802b aimed to solve. That restricts the set of allowed target types to string types, the same set that's currently allowed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/202406291824.reofujy7xdj3@alvherre.pgsql

2024-06-28SQL/JSON: Always coerce JsonExpr result at runtimeAmit Langote
Instead of looking up casts at parse time for converting the result of JsonPath* query functions to the specified or the default RETURNING type, always perform the conversion at runtime using either the target type's input function or the function json_populate_type(). There are two motivations for this change: 1. json_populate_type() coerces to types with typmod such that any string values that exceed length limit cause an error instead of silent truncation, which is necessary to be standard-conforming. 2. It was possible to end up with a cast expression that doesn't support soft handling of errors causing bugs in the of handling ON ERROR clause. JsonExpr.coercion_expr which would store the cast expression is no longer necessary, so remove. Bump catversion because stored rules change because of the above removal.

2024-05-22Fix handling of extended expression statistics in CREATE TABLE LIKE.Tom Lane
transformTableLikeClause believed that it could process extended statistics immediately because "the representation of CreateStatsStmt doesn't depend on column numbers". That was true when extended stats were first introduced, but it was falsified by the addition of extended stats on expressions: the parsed expression tree is fed forward by the LIKE option, and that will contain Vars. So if the new table doesn't have attnums identical to the old one's (typically because there are some dropped columns in the old one), that doesn't work. The CREATE goes through, but it emits invalid statistics objects that will cause problems later. Fortunately, we already have logic that can adapt expression trees to the possibly-new column numbering. To use it, we have to delay processing of CREATE_TABLE_LIKE_STATISTICS into expandTableLikeClause, just as for other LIKE options that involve expressions. Per bug #18468 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v14 where extended statistics on expressions were added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18468-f5add190e3fa5902@postgresql.org

2024-05-05Fix query pullup issue with WindowClause runConditionDavid Rowley
94985c210 added code to detect when WindowFuncs were monotonic and allowed additional quals to be "pushed down" into the subquery to be used as WindowClause runConditions in order to short-circuit execution in nodeWindowAgg.c. The Node representation of runConditions wasn't well selected and because we do qual pushdown before planning the subquery, the planning of the subquery could perform subquery pull-up of nested subqueries. For WindowFuncs with args, the arguments could be changed after pushing the qual down to the subquery. This was made more difficult by the fact that the code duplicated the WindowFunc inside an OpExpr to include in the WindowClauses runCondition field. This could result in duplication of subqueries and a pull-up of such a subquery could result in another initplan parameter being issued for the 2nd version of the subplan. This could result in errors such as: ERROR: WindowFunc not found in subplan target lists To fix this, we change the node representation of these run conditions and instead of storing an OpExpr containing the WindowFunc in a list inside WindowClause, we now store a new node type named WindowFuncRunCondition within a new field in the WindowFunc. These get transformed into OpExprs later in planning once subquery pull-up has been performed. This problem did exist in v15 and v16, but that was fixed by 9d36b883b and e5d20bbd.

Maybe this should be done for all types of constraints, but it's just not-null ones that acquired this "ability" in the 17 timeframe, so for the moment I'm not changing anything else.

2024-04-18SQL/JSON: Fix issues with DEFAULT .. ON ERROR / EMPTYAmit Langote
SQL/JSON query functions allow specifying an expression to return when either of ON ERROR or ON EMPTY condition occurs when evaluating the JSON path expression. The parser (transformJsonBehavior()) checks that the specified expression is one of the supported expressions, but there are two issues with how the check is done that are fixed in this commit: * No check for some expressions related to coercion, such as CoerceViaIO, that may appear in the transformed user-specified expressions that include cast(s) * An unsupported expression may be masked by a coercion-related expression, which must be flagged by checking the latter's argument expression recursively Author: Jian He <jian.universality@gmail.com> Author: Amit Langote <amitlangote09@gmail.com> Reported-by: Jian He <jian.universality@gmail.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxEqhqsfrg_p7EMyo5zak3d767iFDL8vz_4%3DZBHpOtrghw@mail.gmail.com Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxGOerH1QJknm1noh-Kz5FqU4p7QfeZSeVT2tN_4SLXYNg@mail.gmail.com
2024-04-18SQL/JSON: Improve some error messagesAmit Langote
This improves some error messages emitted by SQL/JSON query functions by mentioning column name when available, such as when they are invoked as part of evaluating JSON_TABLE() columns. To do so, a new field column_name is added to both JsonFuncExpr and JsonExpr that is only populated when creating those nodes for transformed JSON_TABLE() columns. While at it, relevant error messages are reworded for clarity.

2024-04-15Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM, redux.Tom Lane
Commit 2ed8f9a01 intended to institute a policy that if a RangeTblFunction has a coldeflist, then the function return type is certainly RECORD, and we should use the coldeflist as the source of truth about what the columns of the record type are. When the original function has been folded to a constant, inspection of the constant might give a different answer. This situation will lead to a tuple-type-mismatch error at execution, but up until that point we need to consistently believe the coldeflist, or we'll have problems from different bits of code reaching different conclusions. expandRTE didn't get that memo though, and would try to produce a tupdesc based on the constant in this situation, leading to an assertion failure. (Desultory testing suggests that non-assert builds often manage to give the expected error, although I also saw a "cache lookup failed for type 0" error, and it seems at least possible that a crash could happen.) Some other callers of get_expr_result_type and get_expr_result_tupdesc were also being incautious about this. While none of them seem to have actual bugs, they're working harder than necessary in this case, besides which it seems safest to have an explicit policy of not using those functions on an RTE with a coldeflist. Adjust the code accordingly, and add commentary to funcapi.c about this policy. Also fix an obsolete comment that claimed "get_expr_result_type() doesn't know how to extract type info from a RECORD constant". That hasn't been true since commit d57534740. Per bug #18422 from Alexander Lakhin. As with the previous commit, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18422-89ca86c8eac5246d@postgresql.org

2024-04-15Fix ALTER DOMAIN NOT NULL syntaxPeter Eisentraut
This addresses a few problems with commit e5da0fe3c22 ("Catalog domain not-null constraints"). In CREATE DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like CREATE DOMAIN d1 AS int [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL (Before e5da0fe3c22, the constraint name was accepted but ignored.) But in ALTER DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL VALUE where VALUE is where for a table constraint the column name would be. (This works as of e5da0fe3c22. Before e5da0fe3c22, this syntax resulted in an internal error.) But for domains, this latter syntax is confusing and needlessly inconsistent between CREATE and ALTER. So this changes it to just ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL (None of these syntaxes are per SQL standard; we are just living with the bits of inconsistency that have built up over time.) In passing, this also changes the psql \dD output to not show not-null constraints in the column "Check", since it's already shown in the column "Nullable". This has also been off since e5da0fe3c22.

2024-04-08JSON_TABLE: Add support for NESTED paths and columnsAmit Langote
A NESTED path allows to extract data from nested levels of JSON objects given by the parent path expression, which are projected as columns specified using a nested COLUMNS clause, just like the parent COLUMNS clause. Rows comprised from a NESTED columns are "joined" to the row comprised from the parent columns. If a particular NESTED path evaluates to 0 rows, then the nested COLUMNS will emit NULLs, making it an OUTER join. NESTED columns themselves may include NESTED paths to allow extracting data from arbitrary nesting levels, which are likewise joined against the rows at the parent level. Multiple NESTED paths at a given level are called "sibling" paths and their rows are combined by UNIONing them, that is, after being joined against the parent row as described above.

Currently, transformJsonFuncExpr() enforces some restrictions on the combinations of QUOTES and WRAPPER clauses that can be specified in JSON_QUERY(). The intent was to only prevent the useless combination WITH WRAPPER OMIT QUOTES, but the coding prevented KEEP QUOTES too, which is not helpful. Fix that.
2024-04-07Implement ALTER TABLE ... SPLIT PARTITION ... commandAlexander Korotkov
This new DDL command splits a single partition into several parititions. Just like ALTER TABLE ... MERGE PARTITIONS ... command, new patitions are created using createPartitionTable() function with parent partition as the template. This commit comprises quite naive implementation which works in single process and holds the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE LOCK on the parent table during all the operations including the tuple routing. This is why this new DDL command can't be recommended for large partitioned tables under a high load. However, this implementation come in handy in certain cases even as is. Also, it could be used as a foundation for future implementations with lesser locking and possibly parallel.

Buildfarm member caiman is showing this, which surprises me because it's very late-model gcc (14.0.1) and ought to be smart enough to know that elog(ERROR) doesn't return. But we're likely to see the same from stupider compilers too, so add a dummy initialization in our usual style.
