2017-06-16Fix ICU collation use on WindowsPeter Eisentraut
Windows uses a separate code path for libc locales. The code previously ended up there also if an ICU collation should be used, leading to a crash. Reported-by: Ashutosh Sharma <ashu.coek88@gmail.com>
2017-06-14Don't force-assign transaction id when exporting a snapshot.Andres Freund
Previously we required every exported transaction to have an xid assigned. That was used to check that the exporting transaction is still running, which in turn is needed to guarantee that that necessary rows haven't been removed in between exporting and importing the snapshot. The exported xid caused unnecessary problems with logical decoding, because slot creation has to wait for all concurrent xid to finish, which in turn serializes concurrent slot creation. It also prohibited snapshots to be exported on hot-standby replicas. Instead export the virtual transactionid, which avoids the unnecessary serialization and the inability to export snapshots on standbys. This changes the file name of the exported snapshot, but since we never documented what that one means, that seems ok.

2017-06-14Teach predtest.c about CHECK clauses to fix partitioning bugs.Robert Haas
In a CHECK clause, a null result means true, whereas in a WHERE clause it means false. predtest.c provided different functions depending on which set of semantics applied to the predicate being proved, but had no option to control what a null meant in the clauses provided as axioms. Add one. Use that in the partitioning code when figuring out whether the validation scan on a new partition can be skipped. Rip out the old logic that attempted (not very successfully) to compensate for the absence of the necessary support in predtest.c.

2017-06-05Unify SIGHUP handling between normal and walsender backends.Andres Freund
Because walsender and normal backends share the same main loop it's problematic to have two different flag variables, set in signal handlers, indicating a pending configuration reload. Only certain walsender commands reach code paths checking for the variable (START_[LOGICAL_]REPLICATION, CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT ... LOGICAL, notably not base backups). This is a bug present since the introduction of walsender, but has gotten worse in releases since then which allow walsender to do more. A later patch, not slated for v10, will similarly unify SIGHUP handling in other types of processes as well.

2017-06-04Replace over-optimistic Assert in partitioning code with a runtime test.Tom Lane
get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext found a tuple. This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed. (OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently. The behavior in a non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.) Fix it to do what other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog. Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about unexpected failure of systable_getnext. 90% of them say "could not find tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise. Many of the holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright misleading since no catcache search is involved.

2017-06-03Fix <> and pattern-NOT-match estimators to handle nulls correctly.Tom Lane
These estimators returned 1 minus the corresponding equality/match estimate, which is incorrect: we need to subtract off the fraction of nulls in the column, since those are neither equal nor not equal to the comparison value. The error only becomes obvious if the nullfrac is large, but it could be very bad in a mostly-nulls column, as reported in bug #14676 from Marko Tiikkaja. To fix the <> case, refactor eqsel() and neqsel() to call a common support routine, which can be made to account for nullfrac correctly. The pattern-match cases were already factored that way, and it was simply an oversight that patternsel() wasn't subtracting off nullfrac. neqjoinsel() has a similar problem, but since we're elsewhere discussing changing its behavior entirely, I left it alone for now. This is a very longstanding bug, but I'm hesitant to back-patch a fix for it. Given the lack of prior complaints, such cases must not come up often, so it's probably not worth the risk of destabilizing plans in stable branches.

2017-05-28Code review focused on new node types added by partitioning support.Tom Lane
Fix failure to check that we got a plain Const from const-simplification of a coercion request. This is the cause of bug #14666 from Tian Bing: there is an int4 to money cast, but it's only stable not immutable (because of dependence on lc_monetary), resulting in a FuncExpr that the code was miserably unequipped to deal with, or indeed even to notice that it was failing to deal with. Add test cases around this coercion behavior. In view of the above, sprinkle the code liberally with castNode() macros, in hope of catching the next such bug a bit sooner. Also, change some functions that were randomly declared to take Node* to take more specific pointer types. And change some struct fields that were declared Node* but could be given more specific types, allowing removal of assorted explicit casts. Place PARTITION_MAX_KEYS check a bit closer to the code it's protecting. Likewise check only-one-key-for-list-partitioning restriction in a less random place. Avoid not-per-project-style usages like !strcmp(...). Fix assorted failures to avoid scribbling on the input of parse transformation. I'm not sure how necessary this is, but it's entirely silly for these functions to be expending cycles to avoid that and not getting it right. Add guards against partitioning on system columns. Put backend/nodes/ support code into an order that matches handling of these node types elsewhere. Annotate the fact that somebody added location fields to PartitionBoundSpec and PartitionRangeDatum but forgot to handle them in outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c. This is fairly harmless for production purposes (since readfuncs.c would just substitute -1 anyway) but it's still bogus. It's not worth forcing a post-beta1 initdb just to fix this, but if we have another reason to force initdb before 10.0, we should go back and clean this up. Contrariwise, somebody added location fields to PartitionElem and PartitionSpec but forgot to teach exprLocation() about them. Consolidate duplicative code in transformPartitionBound(). Improve a couple of error messages. Improve assorted commentary. Re-pgindent the files touched by this patch; this affects a few comment blocks that must have been added quite recently.

2017-05-24Tighten checks for whitespace in functions that parse identifiers etc.Tom Lane
This patch replaces isspace() calls with scanner_isspace() in functions that are likely to be presented with non-ASCII input. isspace() has the small advantage that it will correctly recognize no-break space in single-byte encodings (such as LATIN1); but it cannot work successfully for any multibyte character, and depending on platform it might return false positive results for some fragments of multibyte characters. That's disastrous for functions that are trying to discard whitespace between valid strings, as noted in bug #14662 from Justin Muise. Even treating no-break space as whitespace is pretty questionable for the usages touched here, because the core scanner would think it is an identifier character. Affected functions are parse_ident(), parseNameAndArgTypes (underlying regprocedurein() and siblings), SplitIdentifierString (used for parsing GUCs and options that are qualified names or lists of names), and SplitDirectoriesString (used for parsing GUCs that are lists of directories). All the functions adjusted here are parsing SQL identifiers and similar constructs, so it's reasonable to insist that their definition of whitespace match the core scanner. So we can hope that this won't cause many backwards-compatibility problems. I've left alone isspace() calls in places that aren't really expecting any non-ASCII input characters, such as float8in().

2017-05-21Fix precision and rounding issues in money multiplication and division.Tom Lane
The cash_div_intX functions applied rint() to the result of the division. That's not merely useless (because the result is already an integer) but it causes precision loss for values larger than 2^52 or so, because of the forced conversion to float8. On the other hand, the cash_mul_fltX functions neglected to apply rint() to their multiplication results, thus possibly causing off-by-one outputs. Per C standard, arithmetic between any integral value and a float value is performed in float format. Thus, cash_mul_flt4 and cash_div_flt4 produced answers good to only about six digits, even when the float value is exact. We can improve matters noticeably by widening the float inputs to double. (It's tempting to consider using "long double" arithmetic if available, but that's probably too much of a stretch for a back-patched fix.) Also, document that cash_div_intX operators truncate rather than round. Per bug #14663 from Richard Pistole. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2017-05-14Standardize terminology for pg_statistic_ext entries.Tom Lane
Consistently refer to such an entry as a "statistics object", not just "statistics" or "extended statistics". Previously we had a mismash of terms, accompanied by utter confusion as to whether the term was singular or plural. That's not only grating (at least to the ear of a native English speaker) but could be outright misleading, eg in error messages that seemed to be referring to multiple objects where only one could be meant. This commit fixes the code and a lot of comments (though I may have missed a few). I also renamed two new SQL functions, pg_get_statisticsextdef -> pg_get_statisticsobjdef pg_statistic_ext_is_visible -> pg_statistics_obj_is_visible to conform better with this terminology. I have not touched the SGML docs other than fixing those function names; the docs certainly need work but it seems like a separable task.

2017-05-13Redesign get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot() for more safety and speed.Tom Lane
The mess cleaned up in commit da0759600 is clear evidence that it's a bug hazard to expect the caller of get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot() to provide the correct type OID for the array elements in the slot. Moreover, we weren't even getting any performance benefit from that, since get_attstatsslot() was extracting the real type OID from the array anyway. So we ought to get rid of that requirement; indeed, it would make more sense for get_attstatsslot() to pass back the type OID it found, in case the caller isn't sure what to expect, which is likely in binary- compatible-operator cases. Another problem with the current implementation is that if the stats array element type is pass-by-reference, we incur a palloc/memcpy/pfree cycle for each element. That seemed acceptable when the code was written because we were targeting O(10) array sizes --- but these days, stats arrays are almost always bigger than that, sometimes much bigger. We can save a significant number of cycles by doing one palloc/memcpy/pfree of the whole array. Indeed, in the now-probably-common case where the array is toasted, that happens anyway so this method is basically free. (Note: although the catcache code will inline any out-of-line toasted values, it doesn't decompress them. At the other end of the size range, it doesn't expand short-header datums either. In either case, DatumGetArrayTypeP would have to make a copy. We do end up using an extra array copy step if the element type is pass-by-value and the array length is neither small enough for a short header nor large enough to have suffered compression. But that seems like a very acceptable price for winning in pass-by-ref cases.) Hence, redesign to take these insights into account. While at it, convert to an API in which we fill a struct rather than passing a bunch of pointers to individual output arguments. That will make it less painful if we ever want further expansion of what get_attstatsslot can pass back. It's certainly arguable that this is new development and not something to push post-feature-freeze. However, I view it as primarily bug-proofing and therefore something that's better to have sooner not later. Since we aren't quite at beta phase yet, let's put it in.

2017-05-12Avoid searching for callback functions in CallSyscacheCallbacks().Tom Lane
We have now grown enough registerable syscache-invalidation callback functions that the original assumption that there would be few of them is causing performance problems. In particular, let's fix things so that CallSyscacheCallbacks doesn't have to search the whole array to find which callback(s) to invoke for a given cache ID. Preserve the original behavior that callbacks are called in order of registration, just in case there's someplace that depends on that (which I doubt). In support of this, export the number of syscaches from syscache.h. People could have found that out anyway from the enum, but adding a #define makes that much safer. This provides a useful additional speedup in Mathieu Fenniak's logical-decoding test case, although we're reaching the point of diminishing returns there. I think any further improvement will have to come from reducing the number of cache invalidations that are triggered in the first place. Still, we can hope that this change gives some incremental benefit for all invalidation scenarios. Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

2017-05-12Reduce initial size of RelfilenodeMapHash.Tom Lane
A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that hash_seq_search'ing this hashtable can consume a very significant amount of overhead during logical decoding, which triggers frequent cache invalidation. Testing suggests that the actual population of the hashtable is often no more than a few dozen entries, so we can cut the overhead just by dropping the initial number of buckets down from 1024 --- I chose to cut it to 64. (In situations where we do have a significant number of entries, we shouldn't get any real penalty from doing this, as the dynahash.c code will resize the hashtable automatically.) This gives a further factor-of-two savings in Mathieu's test case. That may be overly optimistic for real-world benefit, as real cases may have larger average table populations, but it's hard to see it turning into a net negative for any workload. Back-patch to 9.4 where relfilenodemap.c was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAHoiPjzea6N0zuCi=+f9v_j94nfsy6y8SU7-=bp4=7qw6_i=Rg@mail.gmail.com
2017-05-12Avoid searching for the target catcache in CatalogCacheIdInvalidate.Tom Lane
A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that the initial search for the target catcache in CatalogCacheIdInvalidate consumes a very significant amount of overhead in cases where cache invalidation is triggered but has little useful work to do. There is no good reason for that search to exist at all, as the index array maintained by syscache.c allows direct lookup of the catcache from its ID. We just need a frontend function in syscache.c, matching the division of labor for most other cache-accessing operations. While there's more that can be done in this area, this patch alone reduces the runtime of Mathieu's example by 2X. We can hope that it offers some useful benefit in other cases too, although usually cache invalidation overhead is not such a striking fraction of the total runtime. Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced. It might be worth going further back, but presently the only case we know of where cache invalidation is really a significant burden is in logical decoding. Also, older branches have fewer catcaches, reducing the possible benefit. (Note: although this nominally changes catcache's API, we have always documented CatalogCacheIdInvalidate as a private function, so I would have little sympathy for an external module calling it directly. So backpatching should be fine.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAHoiPjzea6N0zuCi=+f9v_j94nfsy6y8SU7-=bp4=7qw6_i=Rg@mail.gmail.com
2017-05-12Change CREATE STATISTICS syntaxAlvaro Herrera
Previously, we had the WITH clause in the middle of the command, where you'd specify both generic options as well as statistic types. Few people liked this, so this commit changes it to remove the WITH keyword from that clause and makes it accept statistic types only. (We currently don't have any generic options, but if we invent in the future, we will gain a new WITH clause, probably at the end of the command). Also, the column list is now specified without parens, which makes the whole command look more similar to a SELECT command. This change will let us expand the command to supporting expressions (not just columns names) as well as multiple tables and their join conditions. Tom added lots of code comments and fixed some parts of the CREATE STATISTICS reference page, too; more changes in this area are forthcoming. He also fixed a potential problem in the alter_generic regression test, reducing verbosity on a cascaded drop to avoid dependency on message ordering, as we do in other tests. Tom also closed a security bug: we documented that table ownership was required in order to create a statistics object on it, but didn't actually implement it. Implement tab-completion for statistics objects. This can stand some more improvement.

2017-05-11Increase MAX_SYSCACHE_CALLBACKS to provide more room for extensions.Tom Lane
Increase from the historical value of 32 to 64. We are up to 31 callers of CacheRegisterSyscacheCallback() in HEAD, so if they were all to be exercised in one process that would leave only one slot for add-on modules. It's probably not possible for that to happen, but still we clearly need more daylight here. (At some point it might be worth making the array dynamically resizable; but since we've never heard a complaint of "out of syscache_callback_list slots" happening in the field, I doubt it's worth it yet.) Back-patch as far as 9.4, which is where we increased the companion limit MAX_RELCACHE_CALLBACKS (cf commit f01d1ae3a). It's not as urgent in released branches, which have only a couple dozen call sites in core, but it still seems that somebody might hit the limit before these branches die.

2017-05-11Rename WAL-related functions and views to use "lsn" not "location".Tom Lane
Per discussion, "location" is a rather vague term that could refer to multiple concepts. "LSN" is an unambiguous term for WAL locations and should be preferred. Some function names, view column names, and function output argument names used "lsn" already, but others used "location", as well as yet other terms such as "wal_position". Since we've already renamed a lot of things in this area from "xlog" to "wal" for v10, we may as well incur a bit more compatibility pain and make these names all consistent.

If neither is satisfied, planning will proceed as if there are no statistics available. At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice.

2017-05-08Remove support for password_encryption='off' / 'plain'.Heikki Linnakangas
Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway. Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'. Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept --encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now. Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for 'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing 'plain', but it seems better this way.

create_singleton_array() was not really as useful as we perhaps thought when we added it. It had never accreted more than one call site, and is only saving a dozen lines of code at that one, which is considerably less bulk than the function itself. Moreover, because of its insistence on using the caller's fn_extra cache space, it's arguably a coding hazard. text_to_array_internal() does not currently use fn_extra in any other way, but if it did it would be subtly broken, since the conflicting fn_extra uses could be needed within a single query, in the seldom-tested case that the field separator varies during the query. The same objection seems likely to apply to any other potential caller. The replacement code is a bit uglier, because it hardwires knowledge of the storage parameters of type TEXT, but it's not like we haven't got dozens or hundreds of other places that do the same. Uglier seems like a good tradeoff for smaller, faster, and safer. Per discussion with Neha Khatri. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFO0U+_fS5SRhzq6uPG+4fbERhoA9N2+nPrtvaC9mmeWivxbsA@mail.gmail.com
2017-05-02Change hot_standby default value to 'on'Magnus Hagander
This goes together with the changes made to enable replication on the sending side by default (wal_level, max_wal_senders etc) by making the receiving stadby node also enable it by default. Huong Dangminh
2017-05-01Improve function header comment for create_singleton_array().Tom Lane
Mentioning the caller is neither future-proof nor an adequate substitute for giving an API specification. Per gripe from Neha Khatri, though I changed the patch around some. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFO0U+_fS5SRhzq6uPG+4fbERhoA9N2+nPrtvaC9mmeWivxbsA@mail.gmail.com

2017-04-26pg_get_partkeydef: return NULL for non-partitionsStephen Frost
Our general rule for pg_get_X(oid) functions is to simply return NULL when passed an invalid or inappropriate OID. Teach pg_get_partkeydef to do this also, making it easier for users to use this function when querying against tables with both partitions and non-partitions (such as pg_class). As a concrete example, this makes pg_dump's life a little easier. Author: Amit Langote
