2023-01-23Allow parallel aggregate on string_agg and array_aggDavid Rowley
This adds combine, serial and deserial functions for the array_agg() and string_agg() aggregate functions, thus allowing these aggregates to partake in partial aggregations. This allows both parallel aggregation to take place when these aggregates are present and also allows additional partition-wise aggregation plan shapes to include plans that require additional aggregation once the partially aggregated results from the partitions have been combined.

2023-01-18Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable.Tom Lane
The rule system needs "old" and/or "new" pseudo-RTEs in rule actions that are ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Historically it's put such entries into the ON SELECT rules of views as well, but those are really quite vestigial. The only thing we've used them for is to carry the view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan) and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from one place to another. The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs, which are all to the good IMO. Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite) they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields after startup, but someday it might. This is a second attempt at committing 1b4d280ea. The difference from the first time is that now we can add some filtering rules to AdjustUpgrade.pm to allow cross-version upgrade testing to pass despite all the cosmetic changes in CREATE VIEW outputs.

2023-01-11Revert "Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable."Tom Lane
This reverts commit 1b4d280ea1eb7ddb2e16654d5fa16960bb959566. It's broken the buildfarm members that run cross-version-upgrade tests, because they're not prepared to deal with cosmetic differences between CREATE VIEW commands emitted by older servers and HEAD. Even if we had a solution to that, which we don't, it'd take some time to roll it out to the affected animals. This improvement isn't valuable enough to justify addressing that problem on an emergency basis, so revert it for now.

2023-01-11Improve handling of inherited GENERATED expressions.Tom Lane
In both partitioning and traditional inheritance, require child columns to be GENERATED if and only if their parent(s) are. Formerly we allowed the case of an inherited column being GENERATED when its parent isn't, but that results in inconsistent behavior: the column can be directly updated through an UPDATE on the parent table, leading to it containing a user-supplied value that might not match the generation expression. This also fixes an oversight that we enforced partition-key-columns-can't- be-GENERATED against parent tables, but not against child tables that were dynamically attached to them. Also, remove the restriction that the child's generation expression be equivalent to the parent's. In the wake of commit 3f7836ff6, there doesn't seem to be any reason that we need that restriction, since generation expressions are always computed per-table anyway. By removing this, we can also allow a child to merge multiple inheritance parents with inconsistent generation expressions, by overriding them with its own expression, much as we've long allowed for DEFAULT expressions. Since we're rejecting a case that we used to accept, this doesn't seem like a back-patchable change. Given the lack of field complaints about the inconsistent behavior, it's likely that no one is doing this anyway, but we won't change it in minor releases.

2022-12-27Convert the reg* input functions to report (most) errors softly.Tom Lane
This is not really complete, but it catches most cases of practical interest. The main omissions are: * regtype, regprocedure, and regoperator parse type names by calling the main grammar, so any grammar-detected syntax error will still be a hard error. Also, if one includes a type modifier in such a type specification, errors detected by the typmodin function will be hard errors. * Lookup errors are handled just by passing missing_ok = true to the relevant catalog lookup function. Because we've used quite a restrictive definition of "missing_ok", this means that edge cases such as "the named schema exists, but you lack USAGE permission on it" are still hard errors. It would make sense to me to replace most/all missing_ok parameters with an escontext parameter and then allow these additional lookup failure cases to be trapped too. But that's a job for some other day. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3342239.1671988406@sss.pgh.pa.us
2022-12-23Allow window functions to adjust their frameOptionsDavid Rowley
WindowFuncs such as row_number() don't care if it's called with ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW or with RANGE UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW. The latter is less efficient as the RANGE option requires that the executor check for peer rows, so using the ROW option instead would cause less overhead. Because RANGE is part of the default frame options for WindowClauses, it means WindowAgg is, by default, working much harder than it needs to for window functions where the ROWS / RANGE option has no effect on the window function's result. On a test query from the discussion thread, a performance improvement of 344% was seen by using ROWS instead of RANGE. Here we add a new support function node type to allow support functions to be called for window functions so that the most optimal version of the frame options can be set. The planner has been adjusted so that the frame options are changed only if all window functions sharing the same window clause agree on what the optimized frame options are. Here we give the ability for row_number(), rank(), dense_rank(), percent_rank(), cume_dist() and ntile() to alter their WindowClause's frameOptions.

2022-12-12Get rid of recursion-marker values in enum AlterTableTypeAlvaro Herrera
During ALTER TABLE execution, when prep-time handling of subcommands of certain types determine that execution-time handling requires recursion, they signal this by changing the subcommand type to a special value. This can be done in a simpler way by using a separate flag introduced by commit ec0925c22a3d, so do that. Catversion bumped.

2022-12-06Rework query relation permission checkingAlvaro Herrera
Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many inheritance children are present in the range range. While the permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out. This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table. This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for checking. To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex' that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's list of the latter. ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the signature is now: typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable, List *rtePermInfos, bool ereport_on_violation); The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook, but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to determine which operations to allow or deny.

2022-11-22Give better hints for ambiguous or unreferenceable columns.Tom Lane
Examine ParseNamespaceItem flags to detect whether a column name is unreferenceable for lack of LATERAL, or could be referenced if a qualified name were used, and give better hints for such cases. Also, don't phrase the message to imply that there's only one matching column when there is really more than one. Many of the regression test output changes are not very interesting, but just reflect reclassifying the "There is a column ... but it cannot be referenced from this part of the query" messages as DETAIL rather than HINT. They are details per our style guide, in the sense of being factual rather than offering advice; and this change provides room to offer actual HINTs about what to do. While here, adjust the fuzzy-name-matching code to be a shade less impenetrable. It was overloading the meanings of FuzzyAttrMatchState fields way too much IMO, so splitting them into multiple fields seems to make it clearer. It's not like we need to shave bytes in that struct.

2022-11-21Replace SQLValueFunction by COERCE_SQL_SYNTAXMichael Paquier
This switch impacts 9 patterns related to a SQL-mandated special syntax for function calls: - LOCALTIME [ ( typmod ) ] - LOCALTIMESTAMP [ ( typmod ) ] - CURRENT_TIME [ ( typmod ) ] - CURRENT_TIMESTAMP [ ( typmod ) ] - CURRENT_DATE Five new entries are added to pg_proc to compensate the removal of SQLValueFunction to provide backward-compatibility and making this change transparent for the end-user (for example for the attribute generated when a keyword is specified in a SELECT or in a FROM clause without an alias, or when specifying something else than an Iconst to the parser). The parser included a set of checks coming from the files in charge of holding the C functions used for the SQLValueFunction calls (as of transformSQLValueFunction()), which are now moved within each function's execution path, so this reduces the dependencies between the execution and the parsing steps. As of this change, all the SQL keywords use the same paths for their work, relying only on COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX. Like fb32748, no performance difference has been noticed, while the perf profiles get reduced with ExecEvalSQLValueFunction() gone. Bump catalog version.

2022-11-20Switch SQLValueFunction on "name" to use COERCE_SQL_SYNTAXMichael Paquier
This commit changes six SQL keywords to use COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX rather than relying on SQLValueFunction: - CURRENT_ROLE - CURRENT_USER - USER - SESSION_USER - CURRENT_CATALOG - CURRENT_SCHEMA Among the six, "user", "current_role" and "current_catalog" require specific SQL functions to allow ruleutils.c to map them to the SQL keywords these require when using COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX. Having pg_proc.proname match with the keyword ensures that the compatibility remains the same when projecting any of these keywords in a FROM clause to an attribute name when an alias is not specified. This is covered by the tests added in 2e0d80c, making sure that a correct mapping happens with each SQL keyword. The three others (current_schema, session_user and current_user) already have pg_proc entries for this job, so this brings more consistency between the way such keywords are treated in the parser, the executor and ruleutils.c. SQLValueFunction is reduced to half its contents after this change, simplifying its logic a bit as there is no need to enforce a C collation anymore for the entries returning a name as a result. I have made a few performance tests, with a million-ish calls to these keywords without seeing a difference in run-time or in perf profiles (ExecEvalSQLValueFunction() is removed from the profiles).

2022-10-17Record dependencies of a cast on other casts that it requires.Tom Lane
When creating a cast that uses a conversion function, we've historically allowed the input and result types to be binary-compatible with the function's input and result types, rather than necessarily being identical. This means that the new cast is logically dependent on the binary-compatible cast or casts that it references: if those are defined by pg_cast entries, and you try to restore the new cast without having defined them, it'll fail. Hence, we should make pg_depend entries to record these dependencies so that pg_dump knows that there is an ordering requirement. This is not the only place where we allow such shortcuts; aggregate functions for example are similarly lax, and in principle should gain similar dependencies. However, for now it seems sufficient to fix the cast-versus-cast case, as pg_dump's other ordering heuristics should keep it out of trouble for other object types. Per report from David Turoň; thanks also to Robert Haas for preliminary investigation. I considered back-patching, but seeing that this issue has existed for many years without previous reports, it's not clear it's worth the trouble. Moreover, back-patching wouldn't be enough to ensure that the new pg_depend entries exist in existing databases anyway.

2022-10-16Rename parser token REF to REF_P to avoid a symbol conflict.Tom Lane
In the latest version of Apple's macOS SDK, <sys/socket.h> fails to compile if "REF" is #define'd as something. Apple may or may not agree that this is a bug, and even if they do accept the bug report I filed, they probably won't fix it very quickly. In the meantime, our back branches will all fail to compile gram.y. v15 and HEAD currently escape the problem thanks to the refactoring done in 98e93a1fc, but that's purely accidental. Moreover, since that patch removed a widely-visible inclusion of <netdb.h>, back-patching it seems too likely to break third-party code. Instead, change the token's code name to REF_P, following our usual convention for naming parser tokens that are likely to have symbol conflicts.

This is completely different to what GRANT does, which is affect only the tables that exist when the command is executed. There isn't resounding support for this change, but there are a few positive votes and no opposition. Because the time to 15 RC1 is very short, let's get this out now. Backpatch to 15.

2022-09-21meson: Add initial version of meson based build systemAndres Freund
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.

2022-09-20Harmonize more parameter names in bulk.Peter Geoghegan
Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the corresponding names from function definitions in optimizer, parser, utility, libpq, and "commands" code, as well as in remaining library code. Do the same for all code related to frontend programs (with the exception of pg_dump/pg_dumpall related code). Like other recent commits that cleaned up function parameter names, this commit was written with help from clang-tidy. Later commits will handle ecpg and pg_dump/pg_dumpall.

2022-09-20Suppress variable-set-but-not-used warnings from clang 15.Tom Lane
clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only use of a variable is in autoincrements (e.g., "foo++;"). That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that we'd not noticed before. Silence the warnings with our usual methods, such as PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, or in one case by actually removing a useless variable. One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser, Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this warning. To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the top-level productions of affected grammars. Per recently-established project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior. Hence, back-patch to 9.5, which is as far as these patches go without issues. (A preliminary check shows that the prior branches need some other set-but-not-used cleanups too, so I'll leave them for another day.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/514615.1663615243@sss.pgh.pa.us
2022-09-18Remove unused argument "isSlice" from transformAssignmentSubscripts()Michael Paquier
Since c7aba7c, the transform method used during parse analysis of a subcripting construct has moved from transformAssignmentSubscripts() to the per-type transform method (arrays or arbitrary types) the step that checks for slicing support, but transformAssignmentSubscripts() has kept traces of it. Removing it simplifies the code, so let's clean up all that. Author: Zhang Mingli Reviewed-by: Richard Guo Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/0d7041ac-c704-48ad-86fd-e05feddf08ed@Spark
2022-09-14Remove duplicate initializationAlvaro Herrera
This appears to be a merge mistake in 96ef3237bf74. We could put it back the way it was before JSON_TABLE and it'd be two lines shorter, but it's likely that JSON_TABLE will be back and will prefer things this way.

2022-09-14Move gramparse.h to src/backend/parserJohn Naylor
This header is semi-private, being used only in files related to raw parsing, so move to the backend directory where those files live. This allows removal of Makefile rules that symlink gram.h to src/include/parser, since gramparse.h can now include gram.h from within the same directory. This has the side-effect of no longer installing gram.h and gramparse.h, but there doesn't seem to be a good reason to continue doing so.

2022-09-09Bump minimum version of Bison to 2.3John Naylor
Since the retirement of some older buildfarm members, the oldest Bison that gets regular testing is 2.3. MacOS ships that version, and will continue doing so for the forseeable future because of Apple's policy regarding GPLv3. While Mac users could use a package manager to install a newer version, there is no compelling reason to force them do so at this time.

2022-08-25Allow grant-level control of role inheritance behavior.Robert Haas
The GRANT statement can now specify WITH INHERIT TRUE or WITH INHERIT FALSE to control whether the member inherits the granted role's permissions. For symmetry, you can now likewise write WITH ADMIN TRUE or WITH ADMIN FALSE to turn ADMIN OPTION on or off. If a GRANT does not specify WITH INHERIT, the behavior based on whether the member role is marked INHERIT or NOINHERIT. This means that if all roles are marked INHERIT or NOINHERIT before any role grants are performed, the behavior is identical to what we had before; otherwise, it's different, because ALTER ROLE [NO]INHERIT now only changes the default behavior of future grants, and has no effect on existing ones. Patch by me. Reviewed and testing by Nathan Bossart and Tushar Ahuja, with design-level comments from various others.

2022-08-22Make role grant system more consistent with other privileges.Robert Haas
Previously, membership of role A in role B could be recorded in the catalog tables only once. This meant that a new grant of role A to role B would overwrite the previous grant. For other object types, a new grant of permission on an object - in this case role A - exists along side the existing grant provided that the grantor is different. Either grant can be revoked independently of the other, and permissions remain so long as at least one grant remains. Make role grants work similarly. Previously, when granting membership in a role, the superuser could specify any role whatsoever as the grantor, but for other object types, the grantor of record must be either the owner of the object, or a role that currently has privileges to perform a similar GRANT. Implement the same scheme for role grants, treating the bootstrap superuser as the role owner since roles do not have owners. This means that attempting to revoke a grant, or admin option on a grant, can now fail if there are dependent privileges, and that CASCADE can be used to revoke these. It also means that you can't grant ADMIN OPTION on a role back to a user who granted it directly or indirectly to you, similar to how you can't give WITH GRANT OPTION on a privilege back to a role which granted it directly or indirectly to you. Previously, only the superuser could specify GRANTED BY with a user other than the current user. Relax that rule to allow the grantor to be any role whose privileges the current user posseses. This doesn't improve compatibility with what we do for other object types, where support for GRANTED BY is entirely vestigial, but it makes this feature more usable and seems to make sense to change at the same time we're changing related behaviors. Along the way, fix "ALTER GROUP group_name ADD USER user_name" to require the same privileges as "GRANT group_name TO user_name". Previously, CREATEROLE privileges were sufficient for either, but only the former form was permissible with ADMIN OPTION on the role. Now, either CREATEROLE or ADMIN OPTION on the role suffices for either spelling. Patch by me, reviewed by Stephen Frost.

2022-08-20Remove shadowed local variables that are new in v15David Rowley
Compiling with -Wshadow=compatible-local yields quite a few warnings about local variables being shadowed by compatible local variables in an inner scope. Of course, this is perfectly valid in C, but we have had bugs in the past as a result of developers failing to notice this. af7d270dd is a recent example. Here we do a cleanup of warnings we receive from -Wshadow=compatible-local for code which is new to PostgreSQL 15. We've yet to have the discussion about if we actually ever want to run that as a standard compilation flag. We'll need to at least get the number of warnings down to something easier to manage before we can realistically consider if we want this or not. This commit is the first step towards reducing the warnings. The changes being made here are all fairly trivial. Because of that, and the fact that v15 is still in beta, this is being back-patched into 15. It seems more risky not to do this as the risk of future bugs is increased by the additional conflicts that this commit could cause for any future bug fixes touching the same areas as this commit.

2022-08-13Catch stack overflow when recursing in transformFromClauseItem().Tom Lane
Most parts of the parser can expect that the stack overflow check in transformExprRecurse() will trigger before things get desperate. However, transformFromClauseItem() can recurse directly to self without having analyzed any expressions, so it's possible to drive it to a stack-overrun crash. Add a check to prevent that.
