2025-12-10Use palloc_object() and palloc_array() in backend codeMichael Paquier
The idea is to encourage more the use of these new routines across the tree, as these offer stronger type safety guarantees than palloc(). This batch of changes includes most of the trivial changes suggested by the author for src/backend/. A total of 334 files are updated here. Among these files, 48 of them have their build change slightly; these are caused by line number changes as the new allocation formulas are simpler, shaving around 100 lines of code in total. Similar work has been done in 0c3c5c3b06a3 and 31d3847a37be. Author: David Geier <geidav.pg@gmail.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ad0748d4-3080-436e-b0bc-ac8f86a3466a@gmail.com
2025-07-25Reap the benefits of not having to avoid leaking PGresults.Tom Lane
Remove a bunch of PG_TRY constructs, de-volatilize related variables, remove some PQclear calls in error paths. Aside from making the code simpler and shorter, this should provide some marginal performance gains. For ease of review, I did not re-indent code within the removed PG_TRY constructs. That'll be done in a separate patch. Author: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Reviewed-by: Matheus Alcantara <matheusssilv97@gmail.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2976982.1748049023@sss.pgh.pa.us
2025-07-22Remove translation marker from libpq-be-fe-helpers.h.Fujii Masao
Commit 112faf1378e introduced a translation marker in libpq-be-fe-helpers.h, but this caused build failures on some platforms—such as the one reported by buildfarm member indri—due to linker issues with dblink. This is the same problem previously addressed in commit 213c959a294. To fix the issue, this commit removes the translation marker from libpq-be-fe-helpers.h, following the approach used in 213c959a294. It also removes the associated gettext_noop() calls added in commit 112faf1378e, as they are no longer needed. While reviewing this, a gettext_noop() call was also found in contrib/basic_archive. Since contrib modules don't support translation, this call has been removed as well. Per buildfarm member indri.

2025-07-22Log remote NOTICE, WARNING, and similar messages using ereport().Fujii Masao
Previously, NOTICE, WARNING, and similar messages received from remote servers over replication, postgres_fdw, or dblink connections were printed directly to stderr on the local server (e.g., the subscriber). As a result, these messages lacked log prefixes (e.g., timestamp), making them harder to trace and correlate with other log entries. This commit addresses the issue by introducing a custom notice receiver for replication, postgres_fdw, and dblink connections. These messages are now logged via ereport(), ensuring they appear in the logs with proper formatting and context, which improves clarity and aids in debugging.

2025-07-07Standardize LSN formatting by zero paddingÁlvaro Herrera
This commit standardizes the output format for LSNs to ensure consistent representation across various tools and messages. Previously, LSNs were inconsistently printed as `%X/%X` in some contexts, while others used zero-padding. This often led to confusion when comparing. To address this, the LSN format is now uniformly set to `%X/%08X`, ensuring the lower 32-bit part is always zero-padded to eight hexadecimal digits.

2025-04-04Use standard die() signal handler in walreceiverHeikki Linnakangas
This gets rid of the bespoken ProcessWalRcvInterrupts() function, which lets walreceiver terminate at any CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call. And it's less code anyway. We can now use the standard libpqsrv_connect_params() libpq wrapper from libpq-be-fe-helpers.h, removing more code. We attempted to do that earlier already in commit 728f86fec6, but that was reverted because it didn't call ProcessWalRcvInterrupts() and therefore didn't react to shutdown requests. Now that ProcessWalRcvInterrupts() is gone, it works. As stated in that commit, this also leads to libpqwalreceiver reserving file descriptors for libpq conncetions, which is nice.

2025-03-26Use PG_MODULE_MAGIC_EXT in our installable shared libraries.Tom Lane
It seems potentially useful to label our shared libraries with version information, now that a facility exists for retrieving that. This patch labels them with the PG_VERSION string. There was some discussion about using semantic versioning conventions, but that doesn't seem terribly helpful for modules with no SQL-level presence; and for those that do have SQL objects, we typically expect them to support multiple revisions of the SQL definitions, so it'd still not be very helpful. I did not label any of src/test/modules/. It seems unnecessary since we don't install those, and besides there ought to be someplace that still provides test coverage for the original PG_MODULE_MAGIC macro.

2024-07-24Allow altering of two_phase option of a SUBSCRIPTION.Amit Kapila
The two_phase option is controlled by both the publisher (as a slot option) and the subscriber (as a subscription option), so the slot option must also be modified. Changing the 'two_phase' option for a subscription from 'true' to 'false' is permitted only when there are no pending prepared transactions corresponding to that subscription. Otherwise, the changes of already prepared transactions can be replicated again along with their corresponding commit leading to duplicate data or errors. To avoid data loss, the 'two_phase' option for a subscription can only be changed from 'false' to 'true' once the initial data synchronization is completed. Therefore this is performed later by the logical replication worker.

2024-04-06Support retrieval of results in chunks with libpq.Tom Lane
This patch generalizes libpq's existing single-row mode to allow individual partial-result PGresults to contain up to N rows, rather than always one row. This reduces malloc overhead compared to plain single-row mode, and it is very useful for psql's FETCH_COUNT feature, since otherwise we'd have to add code (and cycles) to either merge single-row PGresults into a bigger one or teach psql's results-printing logic to accept arrays of PGresults. To avoid API breakage, PQsetSingleRowMode() remains the same, and we add a new function PQsetChunkedRowsMode() to invoke the more general case. Also, PGresults obtained the old way continue to carry the PGRES_SINGLE_TUPLE status code, while if PQsetChunkedRowsMode() is used then their status code is PGRES_TUPLES_CHUNK. The underlying logic is the same either way, though.

In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

2024-02-22Add a new slot sync worker to synchronize logical slots.Amit Kapila
By enabling slot synchronization, all the failover logical replication slots on the primary (assuming configurations are appropriate) are automatically created on the physical standbys and are synced periodically. The slot sync worker on the standby server pings the primary server at regular intervals to get the necessary failover logical slots information and create/update the slots locally. The slots that no longer require synchronization are automatically dropped by the worker. The nap time of the worker is tuned according to the activity on the primary. The slot sync worker waits for some time before the next synchronization, with the duration varying based on whether any slots were updated during the last cycle. A new parameter sync_replication_slots enables or disables this new process. On promotion, the slot sync worker is shut down by the startup process to drop any temporary slots acquired by the slot sync worker and to prevent the worker from trying to fetch the failover slots. A functionality to allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will be done in a subsequent commit.

I reverted it in 'master' too, to keep the branches in sync. The refactoring was a good idea as such, but it needs a bit more work.

2024-01-08Make dblink interruptible, via new libpqsrv APIs.Noah Misch
This replaces dblink's blocking libpq calls, allowing cancellation and allowing DROP DATABASE (of a database not involved in the query). Apart from explicit dblink_cancel_query() calls, dblink still doesn't cancel the remote side. The replacement for the blocking calls consists of new, general-purpose query execution wrappers in the libpqsrv facility. Out-of-tree extensions should adopt these. Use them in postgres_fdw, replacing a local implementation from which the libpqsrv implementation derives. This is a bug fix for dblink.

2023-11-06Remove distprepPeter Eisentraut
A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and man documentation. We have done this consistent with established practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a convenience to users. Now this has at least two problems: One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot, for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball. This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way. Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible. The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we want to get the meson build system working universally. This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep anymore. (*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now. The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an alias to make distprep.

2023-03-30Add new predefined role pg_create_subscription.Robert Haas
This role can be granted to non-superusers to allow them to issue CREATE SUBSCRIPTION. The non-superuser must additionally have CREATE permissions on the database in which the subscription is to be created. Most forms of ALTER SUBSCRIPTION, including ALTER SUBSCRIPTION .. SKIP, now require only that the role performing the operation own the subscription, or inherit the privileges of the owner. However, to use ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... RENAME or ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... OWNER TO, you also need CREATE permission on the database. This is similar to what we do for schemas. To change the owner of a schema, you must also have permission to SET ROLE to the new owner, similar to what we do for other object types. Non-superusers are required to specify a password for authentication and the remote side must use the password, similar to what is required for postgres_fdw and dblink. A superuser who wants a non-superuser to own a subscription that does not rely on password authentication may set the new password_required=false property on that subscription. A non-superuser may not set password_required=false and may not modify a subscription that already has password_required=false. This new password_required subscription property works much like the eponymous postgres_fdw property. In both cases, the actual semantics are that a password is not required if either (1) the property is set to false or (2) the relevant user is the superuser.

But e.g. CREATE SUBSCRIPTION could lead to a somewhat longer lived leak. Fix by releasing resources, including the libpq connection, on error. Add a test exercising the error code path.

2023-01-09Perform apply of large transactions by parallel workers.Amit Kapila
Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to be applied via parallel workers. In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to "partial serialize" mode - in this mode, the leader serializes all remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker available. This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available. The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour). In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for publications on servers < PG16.

2022-10-05meson: Add windows resource filesAndres Freund
The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a "auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases - unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

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.

2022-07-21Allow users to skip logical replication of data having origin.Amit Kapila
This patch adds a new SUBSCRIPTION parameter "origin". It specifies whether the subscription will request the publisher to only send changes that don't have an origin or send changes regardless of origin. Setting it to "none" means that the subscription will request the publisher to only send changes that have no origin associated. Setting it to "any" means that the publisher sends changes regardless of their origin. The default is "any". Usage: CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub1 CONNECTION 'dbname=postgres port=9999' PUBLICATION pub1 WITH (origin = none); This can be used to avoid loops (infinite replication of the same data) among replication nodes. This feature allows filtering only the replication data originating from WAL but for initial sync (initial copy of table data) we don't have such a facility as we can only distinguish the data based on origin from WAL. As a follow-up patch, we are planning to forbid the initial sync if the origin is specified as none and we notice that the publication tables were also replicated from other publishers to avoid duplicate data or loops. We forbid to allow creating origin with names 'none' and 'any' to avoid confusion with the same name options.

2021-11-02Ensure consistent logical replication of datetime and float8 values.Tom Lane
In walreceiver, set the publisher's relevant GUCs (datestyle, intervalstyle, extra_float_digits) to the same values that pg_dump uses, and for the same reason: we need the output to be read the same way regardless of the receiver's settings. Without this, it's possible for subscribers to misinterpret transmitted values. Although this is clearly a bug fix, it's not without downsides: subscribers that are storing values into some other datatype, such as text, could get different results than before, and perhaps be unhappy about that. Given the lack of previous complaints, it seems best to change this only in HEAD, and to call it out as an incompatible change in v15.

2021-10-05Flexible options for CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT.Robert Haas
Like BASE_BACKUP, CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT has historically used a hard-coded syntax. To improve future extensibility, adopt a flexible options syntax here, too. In the new syntax, instead of three mutually exclusive options EXPORT_SNAPSHOT, USE_SNAPSHOT, and NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT, there is now a single SNAPSHOT option with three possible values: 'export', 'use', and 'nothing'. This commit does not remove support for the old syntax. It just adds the new one as an additional option, makes pg_receivewal, pg_recvlogical, and walreceiver processes use it. Patch by me, reviewed by Fabien Coelho, Sergei Kornilov, and Fujii Masao.

2021-07-14Add support for prepared transactions to built-in logical replication.Amit Kapila
To add support for streaming transactions at prepare time into the built-in logical replication, we need to do the following things: * Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new two-phase API callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol. * Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle two-phase transactions by replaying them on prepare. * Add a new SUBSCRIPTION option "two_phase" to allow users to enable two-phase transactions. We enable the two_phase once the initial data sync is over. We however must explicitly disable replication of two-phase transactions during replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase, and moreover, we don't have a replication connection open so we don't know where to send the data anyway. The streaming option is not allowed with this new two_phase option. This can be done as a separate patch. We don't allow to toggle two_phase option of a subscription because it can lead to an inconsistent replica. For the same reason, we don't allow to refresh the publication once the two_phase is enabled for a subscription unless copy_data option is false.

2021-06-16Improve SQLSTATE reporting in some replication-related code.Tom Lane
I started out with the goal of reporting ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE when walrcv_connect() fails, but as I looked around I realized that whoever wrote this code was of the opinion that errcodes are purely optional. That's not my understanding of our project policy. Hence, make sure that an errcode is provided in each ereport that (a) is ERROR or higher level and (b) isn't arguably an internal logic error. Also fix some very dubious existing errcode assignments. While this is not per policy, it's also largely cosmetic, since few of these cases could get reported to applications. So I don't feel a need to back-patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2189704.1623512522@sss.pgh.pa.us
