For rather inscrutable reasons, SQL:2008 disallows copying-and-modifying a
window definition that has any explicit framing clause. The error message
we gave for this only made sense if the referencing window definition
itself contains an explicit framing clause, which it might well not.
Moreover, in the context of an OVER clause it's not exactly obvious that
"OVER (windowname)" implies copy-and-modify while "OVER windowname" does
not. This has led to multiple complaints, eg bug #5199 from Iliya
Krapchatov. Change to a hopefully more intelligible error message, and
in the case where we have just "OVER (windowname)", add a HINT suggesting
that omitting the parentheses will fix it. Also improve the related
documentation. Back-patch to all supported branches.

It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a
view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it
will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to
replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation
of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble
with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after
subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN.
Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression
trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE()
still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr
generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code.
In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in
ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars
entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was
because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h,
which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the
same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.

When the existing code here was written, it made sense to special-case
RowExprs because that was the only way that we could handle row comparisons
at all. Now that we have record_eq() and arrays of composites, the generic
logic for "scalar" types will in fact work on RowExprs too, so there's no
reason to throw error for combinations of RowExprs and other ways of
forming composite values, nor to ignore the possibility of using a
ScalarArrayOpExpr. But keep using the old logic when comparing two
RowExprs, for consistency with the main transformAExprOp() logic. (This
allows some cases with not-quite-identical rowtypes to succeed, so we might
get push-back if we removed it.) Per bug #8198 from Rafal Rzepecki.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since this works fine as far back as
8.4.

Long-standing code has called tolower() on identifier character bytes
with the high bit set. This is clearly an error and produces junk output
when the encoding is multi-byte. This patch therefore restricts this
activity to cases where there is a character with the high bit set AND
the encoding is single-byte.
There have been numerous gripes about this, most recently from Martin
Schäfer.
Backpatch to all live releases.

In commit 2c92edad48796119c83d7dbe6c33425d1924626d, I broke "EXPLAIN
(ANALYZE)" syntax, because I mistakenly thought that ANALYZE/ANALYSE were
only partially reserved and thus would be included in NonReservedWord;
but actually they're fully reserved so they still need to be called out
here.
A nicer solution would be to demote these words to type_func_name_keyword
status (they can't be less than that because of "VACUUM [ANALYZE] ColId").
While that works fine so far as the core grammar is concerned, it breaks
ECPG's grammar for reasons I don't have time to isolate at the moment.
So do this for the time being.
Per report from Kevin Grittner. Back-patch to 9.0, like the previous
commit.

This change makes type_func_name_keywords less reserved than they were
before, by allowing them for role names, language names, EXPLAIN and COPY
options, and SET values for GUCs; which are all places where few if any
actual keywords could appear instead, so no new ambiguities are introduced.
The main driver for this change is to allow "COPY ... (FORMAT BINARY)"
to work without quoting the word "binary". That is an inconsistency that
has been complained of repeatedly over the years (at least by Pavel Golub,
Kurt Lidl, and Simon Riggs); but we hadn't thought of any non-ugly solution
until now.
Back-patch to 9.0 where the COPY (FORMAT BINARY) syntax was introduced.

Such cases should work, but the grammar failed to accept them because of
our ancient precedence hacks to convince bison that extra parentheses
around a sub-SELECT in an expression are unambiguous. (Formally, they
*are* ambiguous, but we don't especially care whether they're treated as
part of the sub-SELECT or part of the expression. Bison cares, though.)
Fix by adding a redundant-looking production for this case.
This is a fine example of why fixing shift/reduce conflicts via
precedence declarations is more dangerous than it looks: you can easily
cause the parser to reject cases that should work.
This has been wrong since commit 3db4056e22b0c6b2adc92543baf8408d2894fe91
or maybe before, and apparently some people have been working around it
by inserting no-op casts. That method introduces a dump/reload hazard,
as illustrated in bug #7838 from Jan Mate. Hence, back-patch to all
active branches.

transformExpr() is required to cope with already-transformed expression
trees, for various ugly-but-not-quite-worth-cleaning-up reasons. However,
some of its newer subroutines hadn't gotten the memo. This accounts for
bug #7763 from Norbert Buchmuller: transformRowExpr() was overwriting the
previously determined type of a RowExpr during CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING
INDEXES. Additional investigation showed that transformXmlExpr had the
same kind of problem, but all the other cases seem to be safe.

This patch changes CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes it makes without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update. The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption.
In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate. These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.
Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation. Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry. It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.
This is a subset of a patch already applied in 9.2 and HEAD. Back-patch
into all earlier supported branches.

Since transformSetOperationTree() recurses, it can be driven to stack
overflow with enough UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT clauses in a query. Add a
check to ensure it fails cleanly instead of crashing. Per report from
Matthew Gerber (though it's not clear whether this is the only thing
going wrong for him).
Historical note: I think the reasoning behind not putting a check here in
the beginning was that the check in transformExpr() ought to be sufficient
to guard the whole parser. However, because transformSetOperationTree()
recurses all the way to the bottom of the set-operation tree before doing
any analysis of the statement's expressions, that check doesn't save it.

Views should not have any pg_attribute entries for system columns.
However, we forgot to remove such entries when converting a table to a
view. This could lead to crashes later on, if someone attempted to
reference such a column, as reported by Kohei KaiGai.
This problem is corrected properly in HEAD (by removing the pg_attribute
entries during conversion), but in the back branches we need to defend
against existing mis-converted views. This fix costs us an extra syscache
lookup per system column reference, which is annoying but probably not
really measurable in the big scheme of things.

Parse analysis neglected to cover the case of a WITH clause attached to an
intermediate-level set operation; it only handled WITH at the top level
or WITH attached to a leaf-level SELECT. Per report from Adam Mackler.
In HEAD, I rearranged the order of SelectStmt's fields to put withClause
with the other fields that can appear on non-leaf SelectStmts. In back
branches, leave it alone to avoid a possible ABI break for third-party
code.
Back-patch to 8.4 where WITH support was added.

If a CHECK constraint or index definition contained a whole-row Var (that
is, "table.*"), an attempt to copy that definition via CREATE TABLE LIKE or
table inheritance produced incorrect results: the copied Var still claimed
to have the rowtype of the source table, rather than the created table.
For the LIKE case, it seems reasonable to just throw error for this
situation, since the point of LIKE is that the new table is not permanently
coupled to the old, so there's no reason to assume its rowtype will stay
compatible. In the inheritance case, we should ideally allow such
constraints, but doing so will require nontrivial refactoring of CREATE
TABLE processing (because we'd need to know the OID of the new table's
rowtype before we adjust inherited CHECK constraints). In view of the lack
of previous complaints, that doesn't seem worth the risk in a back-patched
bug fix, so just make it throw error for the inheritance case as well.
Along the way, replace change_varattnos_of_a_node() with a more robust
function map_variable_attnos(), which is capable of being extended to
handle insertion of ConvertRowtypeExpr whenever we get around to fixing
the inheritance case nicely, and in the meantime it returns a failure
indication to the caller so that a helpful message with some context can be
thrown. Also, this code will do the right thing with subselects (if we
ever allow them in CHECK or indexes), and it range-checks varattnos before
using them to index into the map array.
Per report from Sergey Konoplev. Back-patch to all supported branches.

Because coerce_type recurses into the argument of a CollateExpr,
coerce_to_target_type's longstanding code for detecting whether coerce_type
had actually done anything (to wit, returned a different node than it
passed in) was broken in 9.1. This resulted in unexpected failures in
hide_coercion_node; which was not the latter's fault, since it's critical
that we never call it on anything that wasn't inserted by coerce_type.
(Else we might decide to "hide" a user-written function call.)
Fix by removing and replacing the CollateExpr in coerce_to_target_type
itself. This is all pretty ugly but I don't immediately see a way to make
it nicer.
Per report from Jean-Yves F. Barbier.

The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the
outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the
case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were
doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case
where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what
that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.)
To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases.
This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution
of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED
mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update
commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from
the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE.
Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared.
In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct
collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example:
regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x;
ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function

transform_null_equals is only supposed to affect "foo = NULL" expressions
given directly by the user, not the internal "foo = NULL" expression
generated from CASE-WHEN.
This fixes bug #6242, reported by Sergey. Backpatch to all supported
branches.

get_op_btree_interpretation assumed this in order to save some duplication
of code, but it's not true in general anymore because we added <> support
to btree_gist. (We still assume it for btree opclasses, though.)
Also, essentially the same logic was baked into predtest.c. Get rid of
that duplication by generalizing get_op_btree_interpretation so that it
can be used by predtest.c.
Per bug report from Denis de Bernardy and investigation by Jeff Davis,
though I didn't use Jeff's patch exactly as-is.
Back-patch to 9.1; we do not support this usage before that.

Unlike the relistemp field which it replaced, relpersistence must be
set correctly quite early during the table creation process, as we
rely on it quite early on for a number of purposes, including security
checks. Normally, this is set based on whether the user enters CREATE
TABLE, CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE, or CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE, but a
relation may also be made implicitly temporary by creating it in
pg_temp. This patch fixes the handling of that case, and also
disables creation of unlogged tables in temporary tablespace (such
table indeed skip WAL-logging, but we reject an explicit
specification) and creation of relations in the temporary schemas of
other sessions (which is not very sensible, and didn't work right
anyway).

The initial commit of the ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY NOT VALID feature
failed to support labeling such constraints as deferrable. The best fix
for this seems to be to fold NOT VALID into ConstraintAttributeSpec.
That's a bit more general than the documented syntax, but it allows
better-targeted syntax error messages.
In addition, do some mostly-but-not-entirely-cosmetic code review for
the whole NOT VALID patch.

The variable became obsolete in commit

This use-case was broken in commit 529cb267a6843a6a8190c86b75d091771d99d6a9
of 2010-10-21, in which I commented "For the moment, we just forbid such
matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the
underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of
domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency". We still lack consensus about what
to do with ANYELEMENT; but not matching ANYARRAY is a clear loss of
functionality compared to prior releases, so let's go ahead and make that
happen. Per complaint from Regina Obe and extensive subsequent discussion.

We were trying to make that strictly an internal implementation detail,
but it turns out that it's exposed anyway when dumping a view defined
like
CREATE VIEW test_view AS VALUES (1), (2), (3) ORDER BY 1;
This comes out as
CREATE VIEW ... ORDER BY "*VALUES*".column1;
which fails to parse when reloading the dump.
Hacking ruleutils.c to suppress the column qualification looks like it'd
be a risky business, so instead promote the RTE alias to full-fledged
usability.
Per bug #6049 from Dylan Adams. Back-patch to all supported branches.

The existence of a btree opclass accepting composite types caused us to
assume that every composite type is sortable. This isn't true of course;
we need to check if the column types are all sortable. There was logic
for this for the case of array comparison (ie, check that the element
type is sortable), but we missed the point for rowtypes. Per Teodor's
report of an ANALYZE failure for an unsortable composite type.
Rather than just add some more ad-hoc logic for this, I moved knowledge of
the issue into typcache.c. The typcache will now only report out array_eq,
record_cmp, and friends as usable operators if the array or composite type
will work with those functions.
Unfortunately we don't have enough info to do this for anonymous RECORD
types; in that case, just assume it will work, and take the runtime failure
as before if it doesn't.
This patch might be a candidate for back-patching at some point, but
given the lack of complaints from the field, I'd rather just test it in
HEAD for now.
Note: most of the places touched in this patch will need further work
when we get around to supporting hashing of record types.

Use ColLabel in place of ColId, so that reserved words are accepted as if
they were not reserved. Also, remove BCONST and XCONST, which were never
documented as allowed. Allowing those exposes to users an implementation
detail, namely the format in which the lexer outputs such constants, that
seems unwise to expose.
No documentation change needed, since this just makes the code act more
like you'd expect from reading the CREATE TRIGGER man page.
Per complaint from Szymon Guz and subsequent discussion.

These were labeled with precedences just to avoid attaching explicit
precedences to the productions in which they were the last terminal symbol.
Since a terminal symbol precedence marking can affect many other things
too, it seems like better practice to attach precedence labels to the
productions, and not mark the terminal symbols.
Ideally we'd also remove the precedence attached to NULL_P, but it turns
out that we are actually depending on that having a precedence higher than
POSTFIXOP, else we get a shift/reduce conflict for postfix operators in
b_expr. (Which more or less proves my point about these markings having a
high risk of unexpected consequences.) For the moment, move NULL_P into
the set of keywords grouped with IDENT, so that at least it will act
similarly to non-keywords; and document the interaction.

Per bug #5988, reported by Marko Tiikkaja, and further analyzed by Tom
Lane, the previous coding was broken in several respects: even if the
target table already existed, a subsequent CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
might try to add additional constraints or sequences-for-serial
specified in the new CREATE TABLE statement.
In passing, this also fixes a minor information leak: it's no longer
possible to figure out whether a schema to which you don't have CREATE
access contains a sequence named like "x_y_seq" by attempting to create a
table in that schema called "x" with a serial column called "y".
Some more refactoring of this code in the future might be warranted,
but that will need to wait for a later major release.

Instead, foreign tables are treated just like views: permissions can
be granted using GRANT privilege ON [TABLE] foreign_table_name TO role,
and revoked similarly. GRANT/REVOKE .. FOREIGN TABLE is no longer
supported, just as we don't support GRANT/REVOKE .. VIEW. The set of
accepted permissions for foreign tables is now identical to the set for
regular tables, and views.
Per report from Thom Brown, and subsequent discussion.

This patch is almost entirely cosmetic --- mostly cleaning up a lot of
neglected comments, and fixing code layout problems in places where the
patch made lines too long and then pgindent did weird things with that.
I did find a bug-of-omission in equalTupleDescs().
|
|
This syntax allows a standalone table to be made into a typed table,
or a typed table to be made standalone. This is possibly a mildly
useful feature in its own right, but the real motivation for this
change is that we need it to make pg_upgrade work with typed tables.
This doesn't actually fix that problem, but it's necessary
infrastructure.

Per spec we ought to apply select_common_collation() across the expressions
in each column of the VALUES table. The original coding was just taking
the first row and assuming it was representative.
This patch adds a field to struct RangeTblEntry to carry the resolved
collations, so initdb is forced for changes in stored rule representation.
|
|
This also ensures that we take a relation lock on the composite type when
creating a typed table, which is necessary to prevent the composite type
and the typed table from getting out of step in the face of concurrent
DDL.
Noah Misch, with some changes.
|
|
If the referencing and referenced columns have different collations,
the parser will be unable to resolve which collation to use unless it's
helped out in this way. The effects are sometimes masked, if we end up
using a non-collation-sensitive plan; but if we do use a mergejoin
we'll see a failure, as recently noted by Robert Haas.
The SQL spec states that the referenced column's collation should be used
to resolve RI checks, so that's what we do. Note however that we currently
don't append a COLLATE clause when writing a query that examines only the
referencing column. If we ever support collations that have varying
notions of equality, that will have to be changed. For the moment, though,
it's preferable to leave it off so that we can use a normal index on the
referencing column.

This warning is new in gcc 4.6 and part of -Wall. This patch cleans
up most of the noise, but there are some still warnings that are
trickier to remove.
|

Remove crude hack that tried to propagate collation through a
function-returning-record, ie, from the function's arguments to individual
fields selected from its result record. That is just plain inconsistent,
because the function result is composite and cannot have a collation;
and there's no hope of making this kind of action-at-a-distance work
consistently. Adjust regression test cases that expected this to happen.
Meanwhile, the behavior of casting to a domain with a declared collation
stays the same as it was, since that seemed to be the consensus.
|
|
All the other fields of the constant are being extracted from the syscache
entry we already have, so handle collation similarly. (There don't seem
to be any other uses for the new function at the moment.)
|
|
Previous patches took care of assorted places that call transformExpr from
outside the main parser, but I overlooked the fact that some places use
transformWhereClause as a shortcut for transformExpr + coerce_to_boolean.
In particular this broke collation-sensitive index WHERE clauses, as per
report from Thom Brown. Trigger WHEN and rule WHERE clauses too.
I'm not forcing initdb for this fix, but any affected indexes, triggers,
or rules will need to be dropped and recreated.
|
|
This mostly involves making it work with the objectaddress.c framework,
which does most of the heavy lifting. In that vein, change
GetForeignDataWrapperOidByName to get_foreign_data_wrapper_oid and
GetForeignServerOidByName to get_foreign_server_oid, to match the
pattern we use for other object types.
Robert Haas and Shigeru Hanada
|
|
Mostly cosmetic, though I did find that generateClonedIndexStmt failed
to clone the index's collations.
|
|
I'm not sure these have any non-cosmetic implications, but I'm not sure
they don't, either. In particular, ensure the CaseTestExpr generated
by transformAssignmentIndirection to represent the base target column
carries the correct collation, because parse_collate.c won't fix that.
Tweak lsyscache.c API so that we can get the appropriate collation
without an extra syscache lookup.
|
|
In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and
in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than
the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it
significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in
changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup
is both expensive and wrong.
|
|
Ensure that parameter symbols receive collation from the function's
resolved input collation, and fix inlining to behave properly.
BTW, this commit lays about 90% of the infrastructure needed to support
use of argument names in SQL functions. Parsing of parameters is now
done via the parser-hook infrastructure ... we'd just need to supply
a column-ref hook ...

Bug report from Alvaro Herrera
|
|
This restores a parse error that was thrown (though only in the ORDER BY
case) by the original collation patch. I had removed it in my recent
revisions because it was thrown at a place where collations now haven't
been computed yet; but I thought of another way to handle it.
Throwing the error at parse time, rather than leaving it to be done at
runtime, is good because a syntax error pointer is helpful for localizing
the problem. We can reasonably assume that the comparison function for a
collatable datatype will complain if it doesn't have a collation to use.
Now the planner might choose to implement GROUP or DISTINCT via hashing,
in which case no runtime error would actually occur, but it seems better
to throw error consistently rather than let the error depend on what the
planner chooses to do. Another possible objection is that the user might
specify a nondefault sort operator that doesn't care about collation
... but that's surely an uncommon usage, and it wouldn't hurt him to throw
in a COLLATE clause anyway. This change also makes the ORDER BY/GROUP
BY/DISTINCT case more consistent with the UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT case,
which was already coded to throw this error even though the same objections
could be raised there.
|
|
All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless
they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean
or record). Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store
a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function.
This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs
and noncollatable output type, or vice versa.
Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with
a post-pass over the completed expression tree. This allows us to use
a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment
rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node.
Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making
collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and
by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during
expression preprocessing.
|
|
This patch causes unknown-type Consts to be coerced to the resolved output
type of the set operation at parse time. Formerly such Consts were left
alone until late in the planning stage. The disadvantage of that approach
is that it disables some optimizations, because the planner sees the set-op
leaf query as having different output column types than the overall set-op.
We saw an example of that in a recent performance gripe from Claudio
Freire.
Fixing such a Const requires scribbling on the leaf query in
transformSetOperationTree, but that should be all right since if the leaf
query's semantics depended on that output column, it would already have
resolved the unknown to something else.
Most of the bulk of this patch is a simple adjustment of
transformSetOperationTree's API so that upper levels can get at the
TargetEntry containing a Const to be replaced: it now returns a list of
TargetEntries, instead of just the bare expressions.
