2021-10-04Update our mapping of Windows time zone names some more.Tom Lane
Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings faithfully. There are two changes here that are clear improvements: * Mapping "Greenwich Standard Time" to Atlantic/Reykjavik is actually a better fit than using London, because Iceland hasn't observed DST since 1968, so this is more nearly what people might expect. * Since the "Samoa" zone is specified to be UTC+13:00, we must map it to Pacific/Apia not Pacific/Samoa; the latter refers to American Samoa which is now on the other side of the date line. The rest of these changes look like they're choosing the most populous IANA zone as representative. Whatever the details, we're just going to say "if you don't like this mapping, complain to CLDR".

2021-10-02Update our mapping of Windows time zone names using CLDR info.Tom Lane
This corrects a bunch of entries in win32_tzmap[], and adds a few new ones, based on the CLDR project's windowsZones.xml file. Non-cosmetic changes fall into four main categories: * Flat-out errors: US/Aleutan doesn't exist America/Salvador doesn't exist Asia/Baku is wrong for Yerevan Asia/Dhaka (Bangladesh) is wrong for Astana (Kazakhstan) Europe/Bucharest is wrong for Chisinau America/Mexico_City is wrong for Chetumal America/Buenos_Aires is wrong for Cayenne America/Caracas has its own zone, so poor fit for La Paz US/Eastern is wrong for Haiti US/Eastern is wrong for Indiana (East) Asia/Karachi is wrong for Tashkent Etc/UTC+12 doesn't exist Signs of Etc/GMT zones were backwards * Judgment calls: (These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one) Use Europe/London for "Greenwich Standard Time", since that seems much more likely than Africa/Casablanca to be what people will think that zone name means. CLDR has Atlantic/Reykjavik here, but that's no better. Asia/Shanghai seems a better fit than Hong Kong for "China Standard Time". Europe/Sarajevo is now a link to Belgrade, ie "Central Europe Standard Time"; so use Warsaw for "Central European Standard Time". America/Sao_Paulo seems more representative than Araguaina for "E. South America Standard Time". Africa/Johannesburg seems more representative than Harare for "South Africa Standard Time". * New Windows zone names: "Israel Standard Time" "Kaliningrad Standard Time" "Russia Time Zone N" for various N "Singapore Standard Time" "South Sudan Standard Time" "W. Central Africa Standard Time" "West Bank Standard Time" "Yukon Standard Time" Some of these replace older spellings, but I kept the older spellings too in case our code runs on a machine with the older data. * Replace aliases (tzdb Links) with underlying city-named zones: (This tracks tzdb's longstanding practice, and reduces inconsistency with the rest of the entries, as well as with CLDR.) US/Alaska Asia/Kuwait Asia/Muscat Canada/Atlantic Australia/Canberra Canada/Saskatchewan US/Central US/Eastern US/Hawaii US/Mountain Canada/Newfoundland US/Pacific Back-patch to all supported branches, as is our usual practice for time zone data updates.

2021-10-02Re-alphabetize the win32_tzmap[] array.Tom Lane
The original intent seems to have been to sort case-insensitively by the Windows zone name, but various changes over the years did not get that memo. This commit just moves a few entries to restore exact alphabetic order, to ease comparison to the outputs of processing scripts. Back-patch to all supported branches, as is our usual practice for time zone data updates. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3266414.1633045628@sss.pgh.pa.us
2021-06-13Work around portability issue with newer versions of mktime().Tom Lane
Recent glibc versions have made mktime() fail if tm_isdst is inconsistent with the prevailing timezone; in particular it fails for tm_isdst = 1 when the zone is UTC. (This seems wildly inconsistent with the POSIX-mandated treatment of "incorrect" values for the other fields of struct tm, so if you ask me it's a bug, but I bet they'll say it's intentional.) This has been observed to cause cosmetic problems when pg_restore'ing an archive created in a different timezone. To fix, do mktime() using the field values from the archive, and if that fails try again with tm_isdst = -1. This will give a result that's off by the UTC-offset difference from the original zone, but that was true before, too. It's not terribly critical since we don't do anything with the result except possibly print it. (Someday we should flush this entire bit of logic and record a standard-format timestamp in the archive instead. That's not okay for a back-patched bug fix, though.) Also, guard our only other use of mktime() by having initdb's build_time_t() set tm_isdst = -1 not 0. This case could only have an issue in zones that are DST year-round; but I think some do exist, or could in future. Per report from Wells Oliver. Back-patch to all supported versions, since any of them might need to run with a newer glibc. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAOC+FBWDhDHO7G-i1_n_hjRzCnUeFO+H-Czi1y10mFhRWpBrew@mail.gmail.com

2020-04-24Improve placement of "display name" comment in win32_tzmap[] entries.Tom Lane
Sticking this comment at the end of the last line was a bad idea: it's not particularly readable, and it tempts pgindent to mess with line breaks within the comment, which in turn reveals that win32tzlist.pl's clean_displayname() does the wrong thing to clean up such line breaks. While that's not hard to fix, there's basically no excuse for this arrangement to begin with, especially since it makes the table layout needlessly vary across back branches with different pgindent rules. Let's just put the comment inside the braces, instead. This commit just moves and reformats the comments, and updates win32tzlist.pl to match; there's no actual data change. Per odd-looking results from Juan José Santamaría Flecha. Back-patch, since the point is to make win32_tzmap[] look the same in all supported branches again.

2019-07-26Avoid choosing "localtime" or "posixrules" as TimeZone during initdb.Tom Lane
Some platforms create a file named "localtime" in the system timezone directory, making it a copy or link to the active time zone file. If Postgres is built with --with-system-tzdata, initdb will see that file as an exact match to localtime(3)'s behavior, and it may decide that "localtime" is the most preferred spelling of the active zone. That's a very bad choice though, because it's neither informative, nor portable, nor stable if someone changes the system timezone setting. Extend the preference logic added by commit e3846a00c so that we will prefer any other zone file that matches localtime's behavior over "localtime". On the same logic, also discriminate against "posixrules", which is another not-really-a-zone file that is often present in the timezone directory. (Since we install "posixrules" but not "localtime", this change can affect the behavior of Postgres with or without --with-system-tzdata.) Note that this change doesn't prevent anyone from choosing these pseudo-zones if they really want to (i.e., by setting TZ for initdb, or modifying the timezone GUC later on). It just prevents initdb from preferring these zone names when there are multiple matches to localtime's behavior. Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix, back-patch to all supported branches.

2019-06-15Prefer timezone name "UTC" over alternative spellings.Andrew Gierth
tzdb 2019a made "UCT" a link to the "UTC" zone rather than a separate zone with its own abbreviation. Unfortunately, our code for choosing a timezone in initdb has an arbitrary preference for names earlier in the alphabet, and so it would choose the spelling "UCT" over "UTC" when the system is running on a UTC zone. Commit 23bd3cec6 was backpatched in order to address this issue, but that code helps only when /etc/localtime exists as a symlink, and does nothing to help on systems where /etc/localtime is a copy of a zone file (as is the standard setup on FreeBSD and probably some other platforms too) or when /etc/localtime is simply absent (giving UTC as the default). Accordingly, add a preference for the spelling "UTC", such that if multiple zone names have equally good content matches, we prefer that name before applying the existing arbitrary rules. Also add a slightly lower preference for "Etc/UTC"; lower because that preserves the previous behaviour of choosing the shorter name, but letting us still choose "Etc/UTC" over "Etc/UCT" when both exist but "UTC" does not (not common, but I've seen it happen). Backpatch all the way, because the tzdb change that sparked this issue is in those branches too.
2019-06-14Attempt to identify system timezone by reading /etc/localtime symlink.Tom Lane
On many modern platforms, /etc/localtime is a symlink to a file within the IANA database. Reading the symlink lets us find out the name of the system timezone directly, without going through the brute-force search embodied in scan_available_timezones(). This shortens the runtime of initdb by some tens of ms, which is helpful for the buildfarm, and it also allows us to reliably select the same zone name the system was actually configured for, rather than possibly choosing one of IANA's many zone aliases. (For example, in a system configured for "Asia/Tokyo", the brute-force search would not choose that name but its alias "Japan", on the grounds of the latter string being shorter. More surprisingly, "Navajo" is preferred to either "America/Denver" or "US/Mountain", as seen in an old complaint from Josh Berkus.) If /etc/localtime doesn't exist, or isn't a symlink, or we can't make sense of its contents, or the contents match a zone we know but that zone doesn't match the observed behavior of localtime(), fall back to the brute-force search. Also, tweak initdb so that it prints the zone name it selected. In passing, replace the last few references to the "Olson" database in code comments with "IANA", as that's been our preferred term since commit b2cbced9e. Back-patch of commit 23bd3cec6. The original intention was to not back-patch, since this can result in cosmetic behavioral changes --- for example, on my own workstation initdb now chooses "America/New_York", where it used to prefer "US/Eastern" which is equivalent and shorter. However, our hand has been more or less forced by tzdb update 2019a, which made the "UCT" zone fully equivalent to "UTC". Our old code now prefers "UCT" on the grounds of it being alphabetically first, and that's making nobody happy. Choosing the alias indicated by /etc/localtime is a more defensible behavior. (Users who don't like the results can always force the decision by setting the TZ environment variable before running initdb.)

2018-09-23Initialize random() in bootstrap/stand-alone postgres and in initdb.Noah Misch
This removes a difference between the standard IsUnderPostmaster execution environment and that of --boot and --single. In a stand-alone backend, "SELECT random()" always started at the same seed. On a system capable of using posix shared memory, initdb could still conclude "selecting dynamic shared memory implementation ... sysv". Crashed --boot or --single postgres processes orphaned shared memory objects having names that collided with the not-actually-random names that initdb probed. The sysv fallback appeared after ten crashes of --boot or --single postgres. Since --boot and --single are rare in production use, systems used for PostgreSQL development are the principal candidate to notice this symptom. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). PostgreSQL 9.4 introduced dynamic shared memory, but 9.3 does share the "SELECT random()" problem. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Kyotaro HORIGUCHI.

2016-11-25Bring some clarity to the defaults for the xxx_flush_after parameters.Tom Lane
Instead of confusingly stating platform-dependent defaults for these parameters in the comments in postgresql.conf.sample (with the main entry being a lie on Linux), teach initdb to install the correct platform-dependent value in postgresql.conf, similarly to the way we handle other platform-dependent defaults. This won't do anything for existing 9.6 installations, but since it's effectively only a documentation improvement, that seems OK. Since this requires initdb to have access to the default values, move the #define's for those to pg_config_manual.h; the original placement in bufmgr.h is unworkable because that file can't be included by frontend programs. Adjust the default value for wal_writer_flush_after so that it is 1MB regardless of XLOG_BLCKSZ, conforming to what is stated in both the SGML docs and postgresql.conf. (We could alternatively make it scale with XLOG_BLCKSZ, but I'm not sure I see the point.) Copy-edit related SGML documentation. Fabien Coelho and Tom Lane, per a gripe from Tomas Vondra.

2016-08-30Fix initdb misbehavior when user mis-enters superuser password.Tom Lane
While testing simple_prompt() revisions, I happened to notice that current initdb behaves rather badly when --pwprompt is specified and the user miskeys the second password. It complains about the mismatch, does "rm -rf" on the data directory, and exits. The problem is that since commit c4a8812cf, there's a standalone backend sitting waiting for commands at that point. It gets unhappy about its datadir having gone away, and spews a PANIC message at the user, which is not nice. (And the shell then adds to the mess with meaningless bleating about a core dump...) We don't really want that sort of thing to happen unless there's an internal failure in initdb, which this surely is not. The best fix seems to be to move the collection of the password earlier, so that it's done essentially as part of argument collection, rather than at the rather ad-hoc time it was done before. Back-patch to 9.6 where the problem was introduced.

This was overlooked in commit 473b93287, which introduced DROP ACCESS METHOD. Although that command is restricted to superusers, we don't want even superusers dropping the built-in methods; "DROP ACCESS METHOD btree" in particular is unrecoverable from. Pin these objects in the same way that other initdb-created objects are pinned. I chose to bump catversion for this fix. That's not absolutely necessary perhaps, but it will ensure that no 9.6 production systems are missing the pin entries.
