2010-08-05Remove the single-argument form of string_agg(). It added nothing much inTom Lane
functionality, while creating an ambiguity in usage with ORDER BY that at least two people have already gotten seriously confused by. Also, add an opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different numbers of parameters. Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.
2010-08-01Back-patch fix for renaming asyncCommitLSN to asyncXactLSN.Tom Lane
AIUI this was supposed to go into 9.0 as well as HEAD.
2010-08-01Fix ANALYZE's ancient deficiency of not trying to collect stats for expressionTom Lane
indexes when the index column type (the opclass opckeytype) is different from the expression's datatype. When coded, this limitation wasn't worth worrying about because we had no intelligence to speak of in stats collection for the datatypes used by such opclasses. However, now that there's non-toy estimation capability for tsvector queries, it amounts to a bug that ANALYZE fails to do this. The fix changes struct VacAttrStats, and therefore constitutes an API break for custom typanalyze functions. Therefore we can't back-patch it into released branches, but it was agreed that 9.0 isn't yet frozen hard enough to make such a change unacceptable. Ergo, back-patch to 9.0 but no further. The API break had better be mentioned in 9.0 release notes.
2010-08-01Fix an additional set of problems in GIN's handling of lossy page pointers.Tom Lane
Although the key-combining code claimed to work correctly if its input contained both lossy and exact pointers for a single page in a single TID stream, in fact this did not work, and could not work without pretty fundamental redesign. Modify keyGetItem so that it will not return such a stream, by handling lossy-pointer cases a bit more explicitly than we did before. Per followup investigation of a gripe from Artur Dabrowski. An example of a query that failed given his data set is select count(*) from search_tab where (to_tsvector('german', keywords ) @@ to_tsquery('german', 'ee:* | dd:*')) and (to_tsvector('german', keywords ) @@ to_tsquery('german', 'aa:*')); Back-patch to 8.4 where the lossy pointer code was introduced.
2010-08-01Rewrite the rbtree routines so that an RBNode is the first field of theTom Lane
struct representing a tree entry, rather than being a separately allocated piece of storage. This API is at least as clean as the old one (if not more so --- there were some bizarre choices in there) and it permits a very substantial memory savings, on the order of 2X in ginbulk.c's usage. Also, fix minor memory leaks in code called by ginEntryInsert, in particular in ginInsertValue and entryFillRoot, as well as ginEntryInsert itself. These leaks resulted in the GIN index build context continuing to bloat even after we'd filled it to maintenance_work_mem and started to dump data out to the index. In combination these fixes restore the GIN index build code to honoring the maintenance_work_mem limit about as well as it did in 8.4. Speed seems on par with 8.4 too, maybe even a bit faster, for a non-pathological case in which HEAD was formerly slower. Back-patch to 9.0 so we don't have a performance regression from 8.4.
2010-07-31Rewrite the key-combination logic in GIN's keyGetItem() and scanGetItem()Tom Lane
routines to make them behave better in the presence of "lossy" index pointers. The previous coding was outright incorrect for some cases, as recently reported by Artur Dabrowski: scanGetItem would fail to return index entries in cases where one index key had multiple exact pointers on the same page as another key had a lossy pointer. Also, keyGetItem was extremely inefficient for cases where a single index key generates multiple "entry" streams, such as an @@ operator with a multiple-clause tsquery. The presence of a lossy page pointer in any one stream defeated its ability to use the opclass consistentFn, resulting in probing many heap pages that didn't really need to be visited. In Artur's example case, a query like WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a & b') was about 50X slower than the theoretically equivalent WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a') AND tsvector @@ to_tsquery('b') The way that I chose to fix this was to have GIN call the consistentFn twice with both TRUE and FALSE values for the in-doubt entry stream, returning a hit if either call produces TRUE, but not if they both return FALSE. The code handles this for the case of a single in-doubt entry stream, but punts (falling back to the stupid behavior) if there's more than one lossy reference to the same page. The idea could be scaled up to deal with multiple lossy references, but I think that would probably be wasted complexity. At least to judge by Artur's example, such cases don't occur often enough to be worth trying to optimize. Back-patch to 8.4. 8.3 did not have lossy GIN index pointers, so not subject to these problems.

2010-07-29Improved version of patch to protect pg_get_expr() against misuse:Tom Lane
look through join alias Vars to avoid breaking join queries, and move the test to someplace where it will catch more possible ways of calling a function. We still ought to throw away the whole thing in favor of a data-type-based solution, but that's not feasible in the back branches. This needs to be back-patched further than 9.0, but I don't have time to do so today. Committing now so that the fix gets into 9.0beta4.
2010-07-29Clean up some inconsistencies in the volatility marking of various I/OTom Lane
related functions. Per today's discussion, we will henceforth assume that datatype I/O functions are either stable or immutable, never volatile. (This implies in particular that domain CHECK constraint expressions shouldn't be volatile, since domain_in executes them.) In turn, functions that execute the I/O functions of arbitrary datatypes should always be labeled stable. This affects the labeling of array_to_string, which was unsafely marked immutable, and record_in, record_out, record_recv, record_send, domain_in, domain_recv, which were over-conservatively marked volatile. The array I/O functions were already marked stable, which is correct per this policy but would have been wrong if we maintained domain_in as volatile. Back-patch to 9.0, along with an earlier fix to correctly mark cash_in and cash_out as stable not immutable (since they depend on lc_monetary). No catversion bump --- the implications of this are not currently severe enough to justify a forced initdb.
2010-07-28Fix potential failure when hashing the output of a subplan that producesTom Lane
a pass-by-reference datatype with a nontrivial projection step. We were using the same memory context for the projection operation as for the temporary context used by the hashtable routines in execGrouping.c. However, the hashtable routines feel free to reset their temp context at any time, which'd lead to destroying input data that was still needed. Report and diagnosis by Tao Ma. Back-patch to 8.1, where the problem was introduced by the changes that allowed us to work with "virtual" tuples instead of materializing intermediate tuple values everywhere. The earlier code looks quite similar, but it doesn't suffer the problem because the data gets copied into another context as a result of having to materialize ExecProject's output tuple.

2010-07-05The previous fix in CVS HEAD and 8.4 for handling the case where a cursorHeikki Linnakangas
being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop is closed was inadequate, as Tom Lane pointed out. The bug affects FOR statement variants too, because you can close an implicitly created cursor too by guessing the "<unnamed portal X>" name created for it. To fix that, "pin" the portal to prevent it from being dropped while it's being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop. Backpatch all the way to 7.4 which is the oldest supported version.
2010-07-03Replace max_standby_delay with two parameters, max_standby_archive_delay andTom Lane
max_standby_streaming_delay, and revise the implementation to avoid assuming that timestamps found in WAL records can meaningfully be compared to clock time on the standby server. Instead, the delay limits are compared to the elapsed time since we last obtained a new WAL segment from archive or since we were last "caught up" to WAL data arriving via streaming replication. This avoids problems with clock skew between primary and standby, as well as other corner cases that the original coding would misbehave in, such as the primary server having significant idle time between transactions. Per my complaint some time ago and considerable ensuing discussion. Do some desultory editing on the hot standby documentation, too.
2010-07-03Allow REASSIGNED OWNED to handle opclasses and opfamilies.Robert Haas
Backpatch to 8.3, which is as far back as we have opfamilies. The opclass portion could probably be backpatched to 8.2, when REASSIGN OWNED was added, but for now I have not done that. Asko Tiidumaa, with minor adjustments by me.

2010-06-17Don't allow walsender to send WAL data until it's been safely fsync'd on theTom Lane

2010-05-27Fix the volatility marking of textanycat() and anytextcat(): they were markedTom Lane
immutable, but that is wrong in general because the cast from the polymorphic argument to text could be stable or even volatile. Mark them volatile for safety. In the typical case where the cast isn't volatile, the planner will deduce the correct expression volatility after inlining the function, so performance is not lost. The just-committed fix in CREATE INDEX also ensures this won't break any indexing cases that ought to be allowed. Per discussion, I'm not bumping catversion for this change, as it doesn't seem critical enough to force an initdb on beta testers.

2010-05-26HS Defer buffer pin deadlock check until deadlock_timeout has expired.Simon Riggs
During Hot Standby we need to check for buffer pin deadlocks when the Startup process begins to wait, in case it never wakes up again. We previously made the deadlock check immediately on the basis it was cheap, though clearer thinking and prima facie evidence shows that was too simple. Refactor existing code to make it easy to add in deferral of deadlock check until deadlock_timeout allowing a good reduction in deadlock checks since far few buffer pins are held for that duration. It's worth doing anyway, though major goal is to prevent further reports of context switching with high numbers of users on occasional tests.

2010-04-29Rename the parameter recovery_connections to hot_standby, to reduce possibleTom Lane
confusion with streaming-replication settings. Also, change its default value to "off", because of concern about executing new and poorly-tested code during ordinary non-replicating operation. Per discussion. In passing do some minor editing of related documentation.
2010-04-28Introduce wal_level GUC to explicitly control if information needed forHeikki Linnakangas
archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby to enable/disable hot standby. Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections, max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the standby until the first checkpoint after the change. Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches changed it to 0x9003.

2010-04-21Fix oversight in collecting values for cleanup_info records.Simon Riggs
vacuum_log_cleanup_info() now generates log records with a valid latestRemovedXid set in all cases. Also be careful not to zero the value when we do a round of vacuuming part-way through lazy_scan_heap(). Incidentally, this reduces frequency of conflicts in Hot Standby.
2010-04-20Arrange for client authentication to occur before we select a specificTom Lane
database to connect to. This is necessary for the walsender code to work properly (it was previously using an untenable assumption that template1 would always be available to connect to). This also gets rid of a small security shortcoming that was introduced in the original patch to eliminate the flat authentication files: before, you could find out whether or not the requested database existed even if you couldn't pass the authentication checks. The changes needed to support this are mainly just to treat pg_authid and pg_auth_members as nailed relations, so that we can read them without having to be able to locate real pg_class entries for them. This mechanism was already debugged for pg_database, but we hadn't recognized the value of applying it to those catalogs too. Since the current code doesn't have support for accessing toast tables before we've brought up all of the relcache, remove pg_authid's toast table to ensure that no one can store an out-of-line toasted value of rolpassword. The case seems quite unlikely to occur in practice, and was effectively unsupported anyway in the old "flatfiles" implementation. Update genbki.pl to actually implement the same rules as bootstrap.c does for not-nullability of catalog columns. The previous coding was a bit cheesy but worked all right for the previous set of bootstrap catalogs. It does not work for pg_authid, where rolvaliduntil needs to be nullable. Initdb forced due to minor catalog changes (mainly the toast table removal).
