2018-10-10Slightly correct context check for event triggersPeter Eisentraut
The previous check for a "complete query" omitted the new PROCESS_UTILITY_QUERY_NONATOMIC value. This didn't actually make a difference in practice, because only CALL and SET from PL/pgSQL run in this state, but it's more correct to include it anyway.

2018-10-09Relax transactional restrictions on ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE (redux).Thomas Munro
Originally committed as 15bc038f (plus some follow-ups), this was reverted in 28e07270 due to a problem discovered in parallel workers. This new version corrects that problem by sending the list of uncommitted enum values to parallel workers. Here follows the original commit message describing the change: To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction. Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target enum type had been created in the current transaction. This patch removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created in the same transaction as the value. Per discussion, this should be a bit less onerous. It does require each function that could possibly return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction, but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

2018-09-18Add a debugging option to stress-test outfuncs.c and readfuncs.c.Tom Lane
In the normal course of operation, query trees will be serialized only if they are stored as views or rules; and plan trees will be serialized only if they get passed to parallel-query workers. This leaves an awful lot of opportunity for bugs/oversights to not get detected, as indeed we've just been reminded of the hard way. To improve matters, this patch adds a new compile option WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, which is modeled on the longstanding option COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES; but instead of passing all parse and plan trees through copyObject, it passes them through nodeToString + stringToNode. Enabling this option in a buildfarm animal or two will catch problems at least for cases that are exercised by the regression tests. A small problem with this idea is that readfuncs.c historically has discarded location fields, on the reasonable grounds that parse locations in a retrieved view are not relevant to the current query. But doing that in WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES breaks pg_stat_statements, and it could cause problems for future improvements that might try to report error locations at runtime. To fix that, provide a variant behavior in readfuncs.c that makes it restore location fields when told to. In passing, const-ify the string arguments of stringToNode and its subsidiary functions, just because it annoyed me that they weren't const already.

2018-08-08Don't run atexit callbacks in quickdie signal handlers.Heikki Linnakangas
exit() is not async-signal safe. Even if the libc implementation is, 3rd party libraries might have installed unsafe atexit() callbacks. After receiving SIGQUIT, we really just want to exit as quickly as possible, so we don't really want to run the atexit() callbacks anyway. The original report by Jimmy Yih was a self-deadlock in startup_die(). However, this patch doesn't address that scenario; the signal handling while waiting for the startup packet is more complicated. But at least this alleviates similar problems in the SIGQUIT handlers, like that reported by Asim R P later in the same thread. Backpatch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

Creating indexes on foreign tables is already forbidden, but local partitioned indexes (commit 8b08f7d4820f) forgot to check for them. Add a preliminary check to prevent wasting time. Another school of thought says to allow the index to be created if it's not a unique index; but it's possible to do better in the future (enable indexing of foreign tables, somehow), so we avoid painting ourselves in a corner by rejecting all cases, to avoid future grief (a.k.a. backward incompatible changes).

2018-05-03Fix SPI error cleanup and memory leakPeter Eisentraut
Since the SPI stack has been moved from TopTransactionContext to TopMemoryContext, setting _SPI_stack to NULL in AtEOXact_SPI() leaks memory. In fact, we don't need to do that anymore: We just leave the allocated stack around for the next SPI use. Also, refactor the SPI cleanup so that it is run both at transaction end and when returning to the main loop on an exception. The latter is necessary when a procedure calls a COMMIT or ROLLBACK command that itself causes an error.
2018-05-01Clean up warnings from -Wimplicit-fallthrough.Tom Lane
Recent gcc can warn about switch-case fall throughs that are not explicitly labeled as intentional. This seems like a good thing, so clean up the warnings exposed thereby by labeling all such cases with comments that gcc will recognize. In files that already had one or more suitable comments, I generally matched the existing style of those. Otherwise I went with /* FALLTHROUGH */, which is one of the spellings approved at the more-restrictive-than-default level -Wimplicit-fallthrough=4. (At the default level you can also spell it /* FALL ?THRU */, and it's not picky about case. What you can't do is include additional text in the same comment, so some existing comments containing versions of this aren't good enough.) Testing with gcc 8.0.1 (Fedora 28's current version), I found that I also had to put explicit "break"s after elog(ERROR) or ereport(ERROR); apparently, for this purpose gcc doesn't recognize that those don't return. That seems like possibly a gcc bug, but it's fine because in most places we did that anyway; so this amounts to a visit from the style police.

Traditionally, include/catalog/pg_foo.h contains extern declarations for functions in backend/catalog/pg_foo.c, in addition to its function as the authoritative definition of the pg_foo catalog's rowtype.

2018-04-07Allow group access on PGDATAStephen Frost
Allow the cluster to be optionally init'd with read access for the group. This means a relatively non-privileged user can perform a backup of the cluster without requiring write privileges, which enhances security. The mode of PGDATA is used to determine whether group permissions are enabled for directory and file creates. This method was chosen as it's simple and works well for the various utilities that write into PGDATA. Changing the mode of PGDATA manually will not automatically change the mode of all the files contained therein. If the user would like to enable group access on an existing cluster then changing the mode of all the existing files will be required. Note that pg_upgrade will automatically change the mode of all migrated files if the new cluster is init'd with the -g option. Tests are included for the backend and all the utilities which operate on the PG data directory to ensure that the correct mode is set based on the data directory permissions.

2018-04-03MERGE SQL Command following SQL:2016Simon Riggs
MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows a task that would other require multiple PL statements. e.g. MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row, statement and transition triggers. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules, RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables. MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016. Includes full tests and documentation, including full isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior. This version written from scratch in 2017 by Simon Riggs, using docs and tests originally written in 2009.

2018-03-28Allow committing inside cursor loopPeter Eisentraut
Previously, committing or aborting inside a cursor loop was prohibited because that would close and remove the cursor. To allow that, automatically convert such cursors to holdable cursors so they survive commits or rollbacks. Portals now have a new state "auto-held", which means they have been converted automatically from pinned. An auto-held portal is kept on transaction commit or rollback, but is still removed when returning to the main loop on error.

If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each index individually is enough to have it enforced globally.

2018-01-22Transaction control in PL proceduresPeter Eisentraut
In each of the supplied procedural languages (PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, PL/Python, PL/Tcl), add language-specific commit and rollback functions/commands to control transactions in procedures in that language. Add similar underlying functions to SPI. Some additional cleanup so that transaction commit or abort doesn't blow away data structures still used by the procedure call. Add execution context tracking to CALL and DO statements so that transaction control commands can only be issued in top-level procedure and block calls, not function calls or other procedure or block calls. - SPI Add a new function SPI_connect_ext() that is like SPI_connect() but allows passing option flags. The only option flag right now is SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC. A nonatomic SPI connection can execute transaction control commands, otherwise it's not allowed. This is meant to be passed down from CALL and DO statements which themselves know in which context they are called. A nonatomic SPI connection uses different memory management. A normal SPI connection allocates its memory in TopTransactionContext. For nonatomic connections we use PortalContext instead. As the comment in SPI_connect_ext() (previously SPI_connect()) indicates, one could potentially use PortalContext in all cases, but it seems safest to leave the existing uses alone, because this stuff is complicated enough already. SPI also gets new functions SPI_start_transaction(), SPI_commit(), and SPI_rollback(), which can be used by PLs to implement their transaction control logic. - portalmem.c Some adjustments were made in the code that cleans up portals at transaction abort. The portal code could already handle a command *committing* a transaction and continuing (e.g., VACUUM), but it was not quite prepared for a command *aborting* a transaction and continuing. In AtAbort_Portals(), remove the code that marks an active portal as failed. As the comment there already predicted, this doesn't work if the running command wants to keep running after transaction abort. And it's actually not necessary, because pquery.c is careful to run all portal code in a PG_TRY block and explicitly runs MarkPortalFailed() if there is an exception. So the code in AtAbort_Portals() is never used anyway. In AtAbort_Portals() and AtCleanup_Portals(), we need to be careful not to clean up active portals too much. This mirrors similar code in PreCommit_Portals(). - PL/Perl Gets new functions spi_commit() and spi_rollback() - PL/pgSQL Gets new commands COMMIT and ROLLBACK. Update the PL/SQL porting example in the documentation to reflect that transactions are now possible in procedures. - PL/Python Gets new functions plpy.commit and plpy.rollback. - PL/Tcl Gets new commands commit and rollback.

2018-01-19Local partitioned indexesAlvaro Herrera
When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions also. As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it, and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first. To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table> (which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without recursing) and ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION (which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior database state exactly.

2017-12-21Rearrange execution of PARAM_EXTERN Params for plpgsql's benefit.Tom Lane
This patch does three interrelated things: * Create a new expression execution step type EEOP_PARAM_CALLBACK and add the infrastructure needed for add-on modules to generate that. As discussed, the best control mechanism for that seems to be to add another hook function to ParamListInfo, which will be called by ExecInitExpr if it's supplied and a PARAM_EXTERN Param is found. For stand-alone expressions, we add a new entry point to allow the ParamListInfo to be specified directly, since it can't be retrieved from the parent plan node's EState. * Redesign the API for the ParamListInfo paramFetch hook so that the ParamExternData array can be entirely virtual. This also lets us get rid of ParamListInfo.paramMask, instead leaving it to the paramFetch hook to decide which param IDs should be accessible or not. plpgsql_param_fetch was already doing the identical masking check, so having callers do it too seemed redundant. While I was at it, I added a "speculative" flag to paramFetch that the planner can specify as TRUE to avoid unwanted failures. This solves an ancient problem for plpgsql that it couldn't provide values of non-DTYPE_VAR variables to the planner for fear of triggering premature "record not assigned yet" or "field not found" errors during planning. * Rework plpgsql to get rid of the need for "unshared" parameter lists, by dint of turning the single ParamListInfo per estate into a nearly read-only data structure that doesn't instantiate any per-variable data. Instead, the paramFetch hook controls access to per-variable data and can make the right decisions on the fly, replacing the cases that we used to need multiple ParamListInfos for. This might perhaps have been a performance loss on its own, but by using a paramCompile hook we can bypass plpgsql_param_fetch entirely during normal query execution. (It's now only called when, eg, we copy the ParamListInfo into a cursor portal. copyParamList() or SerializeParamList() effectively instantiate the virtual parameter array as a simple physical array without a paramFetch hook, which is what we want in those cases.) This allows reverting most of commit 6c82d8d1f, though I kept the cosmetic code-consolidation aspects of that (eg the assign_simple_var function). Performance testing shows this to be at worst a break-even change, and it can provide wins ranging up to 20% in test cases involving accesses to fields of "record" variables. The fact that values of such variables can now be exposed to the planner might produce wins in some situations, too, but I've not pursued that angle. In passing, remove the "parent" pointer from the arguments to ExecInitExprRec and related functions, instead storing that pointer in a transient field in ExprState. The ParamListInfo pointer for a stand-alone expression is handled the same way; we'd otherwise have had to add yet another recursively-passed-down argument in expression compilation.

2017-11-16Back out the session_start and session_end hooks feature.Andrew Dunstan
It's become apparent during testing that there are problems with at least the testing regime. I don't think we should have it without a working test regime, and the difficulties might indicate implementation problems anyway, so I'm backing out the whole thing until that's sorted out.

These hooks can be used in loadable modules. A simple test module is included. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170720204733.40f2b7eb.nagata@sraoss.co.jp Fabrízio de Royes Mello and Yugo Nagata Reviewed by Michael Paquier and Aleksandr Parfenov
2017-11-08Change TRUE/FALSE to true/falsePeter Eisentraut
The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings. The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so those are left as is when using those APIs. In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>
2017-10-11Replace remaining uses of pq_sendint with pq_sendint{8,16,32}.Andres Freund
pq_sendint() remains, so extension code doesn't unnecessarily break. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170914063418.sckdzgjfrsbekae4@alap3.anarazel.de
2017-10-11Improve performance of SendRowDescriptionMessage.Andres Freund
There's three categories of changes leading to better performance: - Splitting the per-attribute part of SendRowDescriptionMessage into a v2 and a v3 version allows avoiding branches for every attribute. - Preallocating the size of the buffer to be big enough for all attributes and then using pq_write* avoids unnecessary buffer size checks & resizing. - Reusing a persistently allocated StringInfo for all SendRowDescriptionMessage() invocations avoids repeated allocations & reallocations.

2017-10-11Prevent idle in transaction session timeout from sometimes being ignored.Andres Freund
The previous coding in ProcessInterrupts() could lead to idle_in_transaction_session_timeout being ignored, when statement_timeout occurred earlier. The problem was that ProcessInterrupts() would return before processing the transaction timeout if QueryCancelPending was set while QueryCancelHoldoffCount != 0 - which is the case when reading new commands from the client. Ergo when the idle transaction timeout would hit. Fix that by removing the early return. Alternatively the transaction timeout code could have been moved up, but that early return seems like an issue that could hit other cases too.

2017-10-01Replace most usages of ntoh[ls] and hton[sl] with pg_bswap.h.Andres Freund
All postgres internal usages are replaced, it's just libpq example usages that haven't been converted. External users of libpq can't generally rely on including postgres internal headers. Note that this includes replacing open-coded byte swapping of 64bit integers (using two 32 bit swaps) with a single 64bit swap. Where it looked applicable, I have removed netinet/in.h and arpa/inet.h usage, which previously provided the relevant functionality. It's perfectly possible that I missed other reasons for including those, the buildfarm will tell.

2017-09-27Revert to 9.6 treatment of ALTER TYPE enumtype ADD VALUE.Tom Lane
This reverts commit 15bc038f9, along with the followon commits 1635e80d3 and 984c92074 that tried to clean up the problems exposed by bug #14825. The result was incomplete because it failed to address parallel-query requirements. With 10.0 release so close upon us, now does not seem like the time to be adding more code to fix that. I hope we can un-revert this code and add the missing parallel query support during the v11 cycle. Back-patch to v10. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170922185904.1448.16585@wrigleys.postgresql.org
2017-09-18Rearm statement_timeout after each executed query.Andres Freund
Previously statement_timeout, in the extended protocol, affected all messages till a Sync message. For clients that pipeline/batch query execution that's problematic. Instead disable timeout after each Execute message, and enable, if necessary, the timer in start_xact_command(). As that's done only for Execute and not Parse / Bind, pipelining the latter two could still cause undesirable timeouts. But a survey of protocol implementations shows that all drivers issue Sync messages when preparing, and adding timeout rearming to both is fairly expensive for the common parse / bind / execute sequence.
