2025-12-14Implement ALTER TABLE ... SPLIT PARTITION ... commandAlexander Korotkov
This new DDL command splits a single partition into several partitions. Just like the ALTER TABLE ... MERGE PARTITIONS ... command, new partitions are created using the createPartitionTable() function with the parent partition as the template. This commit comprises a quite naive implementation which works in a single process and holds the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE LOCK on the parent table during all the operations, including the tuple routing. This is why the new DDL command can't be recommended for large, partitioned tables under high load. However, this implementation comes in handy in certain cases, even as it is. Also, it could serve as a foundation for future implementations with less locking and possibly parallelism.

2024-11-08Add pg_constraint rows for not-null constraintsÁlvaro Herrera
We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints on user tables. Only one such constraint is allowed for a column. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter or remove it, instead matching by the name of the column that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. The inheritance status of these constraints can be controlled: now we can be sure that if a parent table has one, then all children will have it as well. They can optionally be marked NO INHERIT, and then children are free not to have one. (There's currently no support for altering a NO INHERIT constraint into inheriting down the hierarchy, but that's a desirable future feature.) This also opens the door for having these constraints be marked NOT VALID, as well as allowing UNIQUE+NOT NULL to be used for functional dependency determination, as envisioned by commit e49ae8d3bc58. It's likely possible to allow DEFERRABLE constraints as followup work, as well. psql shows these constraints in \d+, though we may want to reconsider if this turns out to be too noisy. Earlier versions of this patch hid constraints that were on the same columns of the primary key, but I'm not sure that that's very useful. If clutter is a problem, we might be better off inventing a new \d++ command and not showing the constraints in \d+. For now, we omit these constraints on system catalog columns, because they're unlikely to achieve anything. The main difference to the previous attempt at this (b0e96f311985) is that we now require that such a constraint always exists when a primary key is in the column; we didn't require this previously which had a number of unpalatable consequences. With this requirement, the code is easier to reason about. For example: - We no longer have "throwaway constraints" during pg_dump. We needed those for the case where a table had a PK without a not-null underneath, to prevent a slow scan of the data during restore of the PK creation, which was particularly problematic for pg_upgrade. - We no longer have to cope with attnotnull being set spuriously in case a primary key is dropped indirectly (e.g., via DROP COLUMN).

2024-01-16Support identity columns in partitioned tablesPeter Eisentraut
Previously, identity columns were disallowed on partitioned tables. (The reason was mainly that no one had gotten around to working through all the details to make it work.) This makes it work now. Some details on the behavior: * A newly created partition inherits identity property The partitions of a partitioned table are integral part of the partitioned table. A partition inherits identity columns from the partitioned table. An identity column of a partition shares the identity space with the corresponding column of the partitioned table. In other words, the same identity column across all partitions of a partitioned table share the same identity space. This is effected by sharing the same underlying sequence. When INSERTing directly into a partition, the sequence associated with the topmost partitioned table is used to calculate the value of the corresponding identity column. In regular inheritance, identity columns and their properties in a child table are independent of those in its parent tables. A child table does not inherit identity columns or their properties automatically from the parent. (This is unchanged.) * Attached partition inherits identity column A table being attached as a partition inherits the identity property from the partitioned table. This should be fine since we expect that the partition table's column has the same type as the partitioned table's corresponding column. If the table being attached is a partitioned table, the identity properties are propagated down its partition hierarchy. An identity column in the partitioned table is also marked as NOT NULL. The corresponding column in the partition needs to be marked as NOT NULL for the attach to succeed. * Drop identity property when detaching partition A partition's identity column shares the identity space (i.e. underlying sequence) as the corresponding column of the partitioned table. If a partition is detached it can longer share the identity space as before. Hence the identity columns of the partition being detached loose their identity property. When identity of a column of a regular table is dropped it retains the NOT NULL constraint that came with the identity property. Similarly the columns of the partition being detached retain the NOT NULL constraints that came with identity property, even though the identity property itself is lost. The sequence associated with the identity property is linked to the partitioned table (and not the partition being detached). That sequence is not dropped as part of detach operation. * Partitions with their own identity columns are not allowed. * The usual ALTER operations (add identity column, add identity property to existing column, alter properties of an indentity column, drop identity property) are supported for partitioned tables. Changing a column only in a partitioned table or a partition is not allowed; the change needs to be applied to the whole partition hierarchy.

2024-01-04ALTER TABLE command to change generation expressionPeter Eisentraut
This adds a new ALTER TABLE subcommand ALTER COLUMN ... SET EXPRESSION that changes the generation expression of a generated column. The syntax is not standard but was adapted from other SQL implementations. This command causes a table rewrite, using the usual ALTER TABLE mechanisms. The implementation is similar to and makes use of some of the infrastructure of the SET DATA TYPE subcommand (for example, rebuilding constraints and indexes afterwards). The new command requires a new pass in AlterTablePass, and the ADD COLUMN pass had to be moved earlier so that combinations of ADD COLUMN and SET EXPRESSION can work.

2023-08-25Catalog not-null constraintsAlvaro Herrera
We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. We also spawn not-null constraints for inheritance child tables when their parents have primary keys. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it, instead matching by column name that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. For now, we omit them for system catalogs. Maybe this is worth reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is already large and complicated enough.) psql shows these constraints in \d+. pg_dump requires some ad-hoc hacks, particularly when dumping a primary key. We now create one "throwaway" not-null constraint for each column in the PK together with the CREATE TABLE command, and once the PK is created, all those throwaway constraints are removed. This avoids having to check each tuple for nullness when the dump restores the primary key creation. pg_upgrading from an older release requires a somewhat brittle procedure to create a constraint state that matches what would be created if the database were being created fresh in Postgres 17. I have tested all the scenarios I could think of, and it works correctly as far as I can tell, but I could have neglected weird cases. This patch has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead: manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design (mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current implementation uses contype='n' again. During Postgres 16 this had already been introduced by commit e056c557aef4, but there were some problems mainly with the pg_upgrade procedure that couldn't be fixed in reasonable time, so it was reverted. In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to the letter of the standard, requiring an additional pg_attribute column to track the OID of the not-null constraint for that column.

2022-12-12Get rid of recursion-marker values in enum AlterTableTypeAlvaro Herrera
During ALTER TABLE execution, when prep-time handling of subcommands of certain types determine that execution-time handling requires recursion, they signal this by changing the subcommand type to a special value. This can be done in a simpler way by using a separate flag introduced by commit ec0925c22a3d, so do that. Catversion bumped.

2022-12-02Remove logic for converting a table to a view.Tom Lane
Up to now we have allowed manual creation of an ON SELECT rule on a table to convert it into a view. That was never anything but a horrid, error-prone hack though. pg_dump used to rely on that behavior to deal with cases involving circular dependencies, where a dependency loop could be broken by separating the creation of a view from installation of its ON SELECT rule. However, we changed pg_dump to use CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW for that in commit d8c05aff5 (which was later back-patched as far as 9.4), so there's not a good argument anymore for continuing to support the behavior. The proximate reason for axing it now is that we found that the new statistics code has failure modes associated with the relkind change caused by this behavior. We'll patch around that in v15, but going forward it seems like a better idea to get rid of the need to support relkind changes.

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.

2022-08-17Avoid using list_length() to test for empty list.Tom Lane
The standard way to check for list emptiness is to compare the List pointer to NIL; our list code goes out of its way to ensure that that is the only representation of an empty list. (An acceptable alternative is a plain boolean test for non-null pointer, but explicit mention of NIL is usually preferable.) Various places didn't get that memo and expressed the condition with list_length(), which might not be so bad except that there were such a variety of ways to check it exactly: equal to zero, less than or equal to zero, less than one, yadda yadda. In the name of code readability, let's standardize all those spellings as "list == NIL" or "list != NIL". (There's probably some microscopic efficiency gain too, though few of these look to be at all performance-critical.) A very small number of cases were left as-is because they seemed more consistent with other adjacent list_length tests that way.

2022-07-31Expand tests of test_ddl_deparse/ for ALTER TABLEMichael Paquier
This module is expanded to track the description of the objects changed in the subcommands of ALTER TABLE by reworking the function get_altertable_subcmdtypes() (now named get_altertable_subcmdinfo) used in the event trigger of the test. It now returns a set of rows made of (subcommand type, object description) instead of a text array with only the information about the subcommand type. The tests have been lacking a lot of the subcommands added to AlterTableType over the years. All the missing subcommands are added, and the code is now structured so as the addition of a new subcommand is detected by removing the default clause used in the switch for the subcommand types. The coverage of the module is increased from roughly 30% to 50%. More could be done but this is already a nice improvement.

2020-08-21Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.Tom Lane
If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance, Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor). In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions, even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance parents. The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(), which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via inheritance. Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed DefineRelation(). The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults). Per bug #16272 from Tom Gottfried. The non-GENERATED variants of the issue are ancient, presumably dating right back to the addition of CREATE TABLE LIKE; hence back-patch to all supported branches.

2020-04-07Introduce xid8-based functions to replace txid_XXX.Thomas Munro
The txid_XXX family of fmgr functions exposes 64 bit transaction IDs to users as int8. Now that we have an SQL type xid8 for FullTransactionId, define a new set of functions including pg_current_xact_id() and pg_current_snapshot() based on that. Keep the old functions around too, for now. It's a bit sneaky to use the same C functions for both, but since the binary representation is identical except for the signedness of the type, and since older functions are the ones using the wrong signedness, and since we'll presumably drop the older ones after a reasonable period of time, it seems reasonable to switch to FullTransactionId internally and share the code for both.

2020-03-02Represent command completion tags as structsAlvaro Herrera
The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful. Create a new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource managers. The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a CommandTagBehavior struct. Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information about completed queries in a cstring. Only at the last moment, in EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string. EventTriggerCacheItem no longer holds an array of palloc’d tag strings in sorted order, but rather just a Bitmapset over the CommandTags.

2020-01-15Restructure ALTER TABLE execution to fix assorted bugs.Tom Lane
We've had numerous bug reports about how (1) IF NOT EXISTS clauses in ALTER TABLE don't behave as-expected, and (2) combining certain actions into one ALTER TABLE doesn't work, though executing the same actions as separate statements does. This patch cleans up all of the cases so far reported from the field, though there are still some oddities associated with identity columns. The core problem behind all of these bugs is that we do parse analysis of ALTER TABLE subcommands too soon, before starting execution of the statement. The root of the bugs in group (1) is that parse analysis schedules derived commands (such as a CREATE SEQUENCE for a serial column) before it's known whether the IF NOT EXISTS clause should cause a subcommand to be skipped. The root of the bugs in group (2) is that earlier subcommands may change the catalog state that later subcommands need to be parsed against. Hence, postpone parse analysis of ALTER TABLE's subcommands, and do that one subcommand at a time, during "phase 2" of ALTER TABLE which is the phase that does catalog rewrites. Thus the catalog effects of earlier subcommands are already visible when we analyze later ones. (The sole exception is that we do parse analysis for ALTER COLUMN TYPE subcommands during phase 1, so that their USING expressions can be parsed against the table's original state, which is what we need. Arguably, these bugs stem from falsely concluding that because ALTER COLUMN TYPE must do early parse analysis, every other command subtype can too.) This means that ALTER TABLE itself must deal with execution of any non-ALTER-TABLE derived statements that are generated by parse analysis. Add a suitable entry point to utility.c to accept those recursive calls, and create a struct to pass through the information needed by the recursive call, rather than making the argument lists of AlterTable() and friends even longer. Getting this to work correctly required a little bit of fiddling with the subcommand pass structure, in particular breaking up AT_PASS_ADD_CONSTR into multiple passes. But otherwise it's mostly a pretty straightforward application of the above ideas. Fixing the residual issues for identity columns requires refactoring of where the dependency link from an identity column to its sequence gets set up. So that seems like suitable material for a separate patch, especially since this one is pretty big already. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/10365.1558909428@sss.pgh.pa.us

2019-04-23Avoid order-of-execution problems with ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY.Tom Lane
Up to now, DefineIndex() was responsible for adding attnotnull constraints to the columns of a primary key, in any case where it hadn't been convenient for transformIndexConstraint() to mark those columns as is_not_null. It (or rather its minion index_check_primary_key) did this by executing an ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL command for the target table. The trouble with this solution is that if we're creating the index due to ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY, and the outer ALTER TABLE has additional sub-commands, the inner ALTER TABLE's operations executed at the wrong time with respect to the outer ALTER TABLE's operations. In particular, the inner ALTER would perform a validation scan at a point where the table's storage might be inconsistent with its catalog entries. (This is on the hairy edge of being a security problem, but AFAICS it isn't one because the inner scan would only be interested in the tuples' null bitmaps.) This can result in unexpected failures, such as the one seen in bug #15580 from Allison Kaptur. To fix, let's remove the attempt to do SET NOT NULL from DefineIndex(), reducing index_check_primary_key's role to verifying that the columns are already not null. (It shouldn't ever see such a case, but it seems wise to keep the check for safety.) Instead, make transformIndexConstraint() generate ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL subcommands to be executed ahead of the ADD PRIMARY KEY operation in every case where it can't force the column to be created already-not-null. This requires only minor surgery in parse_utilcmd.c, and it makes for a much more satisfying spec for transformIndexConstraint(): it's no longer having to take it on faith that someone else will handle addition of NOT NULL constraints. To make that work, we have to move the execution of AT_SetNotNull into an ALTER pass that executes ahead of AT_PASS_ADD_INDEX. I moved it to AT_PASS_COL_ATTRS, and put that after AT_PASS_ADD_COL to avoid failure when the column is being added in the same command. This incidentally fixes a bug in the only previous usage of AT_PASS_COL_ATTRS, for AT_SetIdentity: it didn't work either for a newly-added column. Playing around with this exposed a separate bug in ALTER TABLE ONLY ... ADD PRIMARY KEY for partitioned tables. The intent of the ONLY modifier in that context is to prevent doing anything that would require holding lock for a long time --- but the implied SET NOT NULL would recurse to the child partitions, and do an expensive validation scan for any child where the column(s) were not already NOT NULL. To fix that, invent a new ALTER subcommand AT_CheckNotNull that just insists that a child column be already NOT NULL, and apply that, not AT_SetNotNull, when recursing to children in this scenario. This results in a slightly laxer definition of ALTER TABLE ONLY ... SET NOT NULL for partitioned tables, too: that command will now work as long as all children are already NOT NULL, whereas before it just threw up its hands if there were any partitions. In passing, clean up the API of generateClonedIndexStmt(): remove a useless argument, ensure that the output argument is not left undefined, update the header comment. A small side effect of this change is that no-such-column errors in ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY now produce a different message that includes the table name, because they are now detected by the SET NOT NULL step which has historically worded its error that way. That seems fine to me, so I didn't make any effort to avoid the wording change. The basic bug #15580 is of very long standing, and these other bugs aren't new in v12 either. However, this is a pretty significant change in the way ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works. On balance it seems best not to back-patch, at least not till we get some more confidence that this patch has no new bugs. Patch by me, but thanks to Jie Zhang for a preliminary version.

2019-02-09Solve cross-version-upgrade testing problem induced by 1fb57af92.Tom Lane
Renaming varchar_transform to varchar_support had a side effect I hadn't foreseen: the core regression tests leave around a transform object that relies on that function, so the name change breaks cross-version upgrade tests, because the name used in the older branches doesn't match. Since the dependency on varchar_transform was chosen with the aid of a dartboard anyway (it would surely not work as a language transform support function), fix by just choosing a different random builtin function with the right signature. Also add some comments explaining why this isn't horribly unsafe. I chose to make the same substitution in a couple of other copied-and-pasted test cases, for consistency, though those aren't directly contributing to the testing problem. Per buildfarm. Back-patch, else it doesn't fix the problem.
2019-02-09Create the infrastructure for planner support functions.Tom Lane
Rename/repurpose pg_proc.protransform as "prosupport". The idea is still that it names an internal function that provides knowledge to the planner about the behavior of the function it's attached to; but redesign the API specification so that it's not limited to doing just one thing, but can support an extensible set of requests. The original purpose of simplifying a function call is handled by the first request type to be invented, SupportRequestSimplify. Adjust all the existing transform functions to handle this API, and rename them fron "xxx_transform" to "xxx_support" to reflect the potential generalization of what they do. (Since we never previously provided any way for extensions to add transform functions, this change doesn't create an API break for them.) Also add DDL and pg_dump support for attaching a support function to a user-defined function. Unfortunately, DDL access has to be restricted to superusers, at least for now; but seeing that support functions will pretty much have to be written in C, that limitation is just theoretical. (This support is untested in this patch, but a follow-on patch will add cases that exercise it.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15193.1548028093@sss.pgh.pa.us

2018-11-20Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund
Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.
