2011-03-11Put in some more safeguards against executing a division-by-zero.Tom Lane
Add dummy returns before every potential division-by-zero in int8.c, because apparently further "improvements" in gcc's optimizer have enabled it to break functions that weren't broken before. Aurelien Jarno, via Martin Pitt
2011-03-11In ecpg preprocessor, don't try to look up constants in the test forHeikki Linnakangas
variable hiding. A constant is not a variable. It worked in most cases by accident, because we add constants to the global list of variables (why?), but float constants like 1.23 were interpreted as struct field references, and not found. Backpatch to 9.0, where the test for variable hiding was added.
2011-03-08Don't throw a warning if vacuum sees PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag set on a page thatHeikki Linnakangas
contains newly-inserted tuples that according to our OldestXmin are not yet visible to everyone. The value returned by GetOldestXmin() is conservative, and it can move backwards on repeated calls, so if we see that contradiction between the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag and status of tuples on the page, we have to assume it's because an earlier vacuum calculated a higher OldestXmin value, and all the tuples really are visible to everyone. We have received several reports of this bug, with the "PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation ..." warning appearing in logs. We were finally able to hunt it down with David Gould's help to run extra diagnostics in an environment where this happened frequently. Also reword the warning, per Robert Haas' suggestion, to not imply that the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag is necessarily at fault, as it might also be a symptom of corruption on a tuple header. Backpatch to 8.4, where the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was introduced.
2011-03-04In initialize_SSL, don't fail unnecessarily when home dir is unavailable.Tom Lane
Instead, just act as though the certificate file(s) are not present. There is only one case where this need be a hard failure condition: when sslmode is verify-ca or verify-full, not having a root cert file is an error. Change the logic so that we complain only in that case, and otherwise fall through cleanly. This is how it used to behave pre-9.0, but my patch 4ed4b6c54e5fab24ab2624d80e26f7546edc88ad of 2010-05-26 broke the case. Per report from Christian Kastner.
2011-02-21Fix dangling-pointer problem in before-row update trigger processing.Tom Lane
ExecUpdate checked for whether ExecBRUpdateTriggers had returned a new tuple value by seeing if the returned tuple was pointer-equal to the old one. But the "old one" was in estate->es_junkFilter's result slot, which would be scribbled on if we had done an EvalPlanQual update in response to a concurrent update of the target tuple; therefore we were comparing a dangling pointer to a live one. Given the right set of circumstances we could get a false match, resulting in not forcing the tuple to be stored in the slot we thought it was stored in. In the case reported by Maxim Boguk in bug #5798, this led to "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple" failures when trying to do "RETURNING ctid". I believe there is a very-low-probability chance of more serious errors, such as generating incorrect index entries based on the original rather than the trigger-modified version of the row. In HEAD, change all of ExecBRInsertTriggers, ExecIRInsertTriggers, ExecBRUpdateTriggers, and ExecIRUpdateTriggers so that they continue to have similar APIs. In the back branches I just changed ExecBRUpdateTriggers, since there is no bug in the ExecBRInsertTriggers case.
2011-02-18Fix parallel pg_restore to handle comments on POST_DATA items correctly.Tom Lane
The previous coding would try to process all SECTION_NONE items in the initial sequential-restore pass, which failed if they were dependencies of not-yet-restored items. Fix by postponing such items into the parallel processing pass once we have skipped any non-PRE_DATA item. Back-patch into 9.0; the original parallel-restore coding in 8.4 did not have this bug, so no need to change it. Report and diagnosis by Arnd Hannemann.
2011-02-17Fix tsmatchsel() to account properly for null rows.Tom Lane
ts_typanalyze.c computes MCE statistics as fractions of the non-null rows, which seems fairly reasonable, and anyway changing it in released versions wouldn't be a good idea. But then ts_selfuncs.c has to account for that. Failure to do so results in overestimates in columns with a significant fraction of null documents. Back-patch to 8.4 where this stuff was introduced. Jesper Krogh
2011-02-16Fix bogus test for hypothetical indexes in get_actual_variable_range().Tom Lane
That function was supposing that indexoid == 0 for a hypothetical index, but that is not likely to be true in any non-toy implementation of an index adviser, since assigning a fake OID is the only way to know at EXPLAIN time which hypothetical index got selected. Fix by adding a flag to IndexOptInfo to mark hypothetical indexes. Back-patch to 9.0 where get_actual_variable_range() was added. Gurjeet Singh
2011-02-15Add CheckTableNotInUse calls in DROP TABLE and DROP INDEX.Tom Lane
Recent releases had a check on rel->rd_refcnt in heap_drop_with_catalog, but failed to cover the possibility of pending trigger events at DROP time. (Before 8.4 we didn't even check the refcnt.) When the trigger events were eventually fired, you'd get "could not open relation with OID nnn" errors, as in recent report from strk. Better to throw a suitable error when the DROP is attempted. Also add a similar check in DROP INDEX. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2011-02-09Fix improper matching of resjunk column names for FOR UPDATE in subselect.Tom Lane
Flattening of subquery range tables during setrefs.c could lead to the rangetable indexes in PlanRowMark nodes not matching up with the column names previously assigned to the corresponding resjunk ctid (resp. tableoid or wholerow) columns. Typical symptom would be either a "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple" error or an Assert failure. This wasn't a problem before 9.0 because we didn't support FOR UPDATE below the top query level, and so the final flattening could never renumber an RTE that was relevant to FOR UPDATE. Fix by using a plan-tree-wide unique number for each PlanRowMark to label the associated resjunk columns, so that the number need not change during flattening. Per report from David Johnston (though I'm darned if I can see how this got past initial testing of the relevant code). Back-patch to 9.0.
2011-02-01Undefine setlocale() macro on Win32Magnus Hagander
New versions of libintl redefine setlocale() to a macro which causes problems when the backend and libintl are linked against different versions of the runtime, which is often the case in msvc builds. Hiroshi Inoue, slightly updated comment by me
2011-02-01Create new errcode for recovery conflict caused by db drop on master.Simon Riggs
Previously reported as ERRCODE_ADMIN_SHUTDOWN, this case is now reported as ERRCODE_DATABASE_DROPPED. No message text change. Unlikely to happen on most servers, so low impact change to allow session poolers to correctly handle this situation. Tatsuo Ishii and Simon Riggs
2011-02-01Fix wrong error reports in 'number of array dimensions exceeds theItagaki Takahiro

2011-01-31Fix error code for canceling statement due to conflict with recovery.Simon Riggs
All retryable conflict errors now have an error code that indicates that a retry is possible, correcting my incomplete fix of 2010/05/12 Tatsuo Ishii and Simon Riggs, input from Robert Haas and Florian Pflug
2011-01-30Make reduce_outer_joins() smarter about semijoins.Tom Lane
reduce_outer_joins() mistakenly treated a semijoin like a left join for purposes of deciding whether not-null constraints created by the join's quals could be passed down into the join's left-hand side (possibly resulting in outer-join simplification there). Actually, semijoin works like inner join for this purpose, ie, we do not need to see any rows that can't possibly satisfy the quals. Hence, two-line fix to treat semi and inner joins alike. Per observation by Andres Freund about a performance gripe from Yazan Suleiman. Back-patch to 8.4, since this oversight has been there since the current handling of semijoins was implemented.

2011-01-27Don't include <asm/ia64regs.h> unnecessarily.Tom Lane
We only need that header when compiling with icc, since the gcc variant of ia64_get_bsp() uses in-line assembly code. Per report from Frank Brendel, the header doesn't exist on all IA64 platforms; so don't include it unless we need it.

2011-01-20Make ALTER TABLE revalidate uniqueness and exclusion constraints.Robert Haas
Failure to do so can lead to constraint violations. This was broken by commit 1ddc2703a936d03953657f43345460b9242bbed1 on 2010-02-07, so back-patch to 9.0. Noah Misch. Regression test by me.
2011-01-17Fix miscalculation of itemsafter in array_set_slice().Tom Lane
If the slice to be assigned to was before the existing array lower bound (requiring at least one null element to spring into existence to fill the gap), the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be copied from the old array's null bitmap. This could result in trashing the array's data area (as seen in bug #5840 from Karsten Loesing), or worse. This has been broken since we first allowed the behavior of assigning to non-adjacent slices, in 8.2. Back-patch to all affected versions.

2011-01-17Before exiting walreceiver, fsync() all the WAL received.Heikki Linnakangas
Otherwise WAL recovery will replay the un-flushed WAL after walreceiver has exited, which can lead to a non-recoverable standby if the system crashes hard at that point.
2011-01-13Fix the logic in libpqrcv_receive() to determine if there's any incoming dataHeikki Linnakangas
that can be read without blocking. It used to conclude that there isn't, even though there was data in the socket receive buffer. That lead walreceiver to flush the WAL after every received chunk, potentially causing big performance issues. Backpatch to 9.0, because the performance impact can be very significant.
2011-01-12Fix PlanRowMark/ExecRowMark structures to handle inheritance correctly.Tom Lane
In an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, each target table has its own subplan, because it might have a column set different from other targets. This means that the resjunk columns we add to support EvalPlanQual might be at different physical column numbers in each subplan. The EvalPlanQual rewrite I did for 9.0 failed to account for this, resulting in possible misbehavior or even crashes during concurrent updates to the same row, as seen in a recent report from Gordon Shannon. Revise the data structure so that we track resjunk column numbers separately for each subplan. I also chose to move responsibility for identifying the physical column numbers back to executor startup, instead of assuming that numbers derived during preprocess_targetlist would stay valid throughout subsequent massaging of the plan. That's a bit slower, so we might want to consider undoing it someday; but it would complicate the patch considerably and didn't seem justifiable in a bug fix that has to be back-patched to 9.0.

2010-12-28Avoid unexpected conversion overflow in planner for distant date values.Tom Lane
The "date" type supports a wider range of dates than int64 timestamps do. However, there is pre-int64-timestamp code in the planner that assumes that all date values can be converted to timestamp with impunity. Fortunately, what we really need out of the conversion is always a double (float8) value; so even when the date is out of timestamp's range it's possible to produce a sane answer. All we need is a code path that doesn't try to force the result into int64. Per trouble report from David Rericha. Back-patch to all supported versions. Although this is surely a corner case, there's not much point in advertising a date range wider than timestamp's if we will choke on such values in unexpected places.
2010-12-24Allow vpath builds and regression tests to succeed on Mingw. Backpatch to ↵Andrew Dunstan
release 8.4 - earlier releases would require more changes and it's not worth the trouble.
2010-12-19Fix up handling of simple-form CASE with constant test expression.Tom Lane
eval_const_expressions() can replace CaseTestExprs with constants when the surrounding CASE's test expression is a constant. This confuses ruleutils.c's heuristic for deparsing simple-form CASEs, leading to Assert failures or "unexpected CASE WHEN clause" errors. I had put in a hack solution for that years ago (see commit 514ce7a331c5bea8e55b106d624e55732a002295 of 2006-10-01), but bug #5794 from Peter Speck shows that that solution failed to cover all cases. Fortunately, there's a much better way, which came to me upon reflecting that Peter's "CASE TRUE WHEN" seemed pretty redundant: we can "simplify" the simple-form CASE to the general form of CASE, by simply omitting the constant test expression from the rebuilt CASE construct. This is intuitively valid because there is no need for the executor to evaluate the test expression at runtime; it will never be referenced, because any CaseTestExprs that would have referenced it are now replaced by constants. This won't save a whole lot of cycles, since evaluating a Const is pretty cheap, but a cycle saved is a cycle earned. In any case it beats kluging ruleutils.c still further. So this patch improves const-simplification and reverts the previous change in ruleutils.c. Back-patch to all supported branches. The bug exists in 8.1 too, but it's out of warranty.
2010-12-19Fix erroneous parsing of tsquery input "... & !(subexpression) | ..."Tom Lane
After parsing a parenthesized subexpression, we must pop all pending ANDs and NOTs off the stack, just like the case for a simple operand. Per bug #5793. Also fix clones of this routine in contrib/intarray and contrib/ltree, where input of types query_int and ltxtquery had the same problem. Back-patch to all supported versions.
2010-12-16Remove optreset from src/port/ implementations of getopt and getopt_long.Tom Lane
We don't actually need optreset, because we can easily fix the code to ensure that it's cleanly restartable after having completed a scan over the argv array; which is the only case we need to restart in. Getting rid of it avoids a class of interactions with the system libraries and allows reversion of my change of yesterday in postmaster.c and postgres.c. Back-patch to 8.4. Before that the getopt code was a bit different anyway.
2010-12-15Fix up getopt() reset management so it works on recent mingw.Tom Lane
The mingw people don't appear to care about compatibility with non-GNU versions of getopt, so force use of our own copy of getopt on Windows. Also, ensure that we make use of optreset when using our own copy. Per report from Andrew Dunstan. Back-patch to all versions supported on Windows.

2010-12-10Fix efficiency problems in tuplestore_trim().Tom Lane
The original coding in tuplestore_trim() was only meant to work efficiently in cases where each trim call deleted most of the tuples in the store. Which, in fact, was the pattern of the original usage with a Material node supporting mark/restore operations underneath a MergeJoin. However, WindowAgg now uses tuplestores and it has considerably less friendly trimming behavior. In particular it can attempt to trim one tuple at a time off a large tuplestore. tuplestore_trim() had O(N^2) runtime in this situation because of repeatedly shifting its tuple pointer array. Fix by avoiding shifting the array until a reasonably large number of tuples have been deleted. This can waste some pointer space, but we do still reclaim the tuples themselves, so the percentage wastage should be pretty small. Per Jie Li's report of slow percent_rank() evaluation. cume_dist() and ntile() would certainly be affected as well, along with any other window function that has a moving frame start and requires reading substantially ahead of the current row. Back-patch to 8.4, where window functions were introduced. There's no need to tweak it before that.
2010-12-10Reduce spurious Hot Standby conflicts from never-visible records.Simon Riggs
Hot Standby conflicts only with tuples that were visible at some point. So ignore tuples from aborted transactions or for tuples updated/deleted during the inserting transaction when generating the conflict transaction ids. Following detailed analysis and test case by Noah Misch. Original report covered btree delete records, correctly observed by Heikki Linnakangas that this applies to other cases also. Fix covers all sources of cleanup records via common code. Includes additional fix compared to commit on HEAD
2010-12-09Eliminate O(N^2) behavior in parallel restore with many blobs.Tom Lane
With hundreds of thousands of TOC entries, the repeated searches in reduce_dependencies() become the dominant cost. Get rid of that searching by constructing reverse-dependency lists, which we can do in O(N) time during the fix_dependencies() preprocessing. I chose to store the reverse dependencies as DumpId arrays for consistency with the forward-dependency representation, and keep the previously-transient tocsByDumpId[] array around to locate actual TOC entry structs quickly from dump IDs. While this fixes the slow case reported by Vlad Arkhipov, there is still a potential for O(N^2) behavior with sufficiently many tables: fix_dependencies itself, as well as mark_create_done and inhibit_data_for_failed_table, are doing repeated searches to deal with table-to-table-data dependencies. Possibly this work could be extended to deal with that, although the latter two functions are also used in non-parallel restore where we currently don't run fix_dependencies. Another TODO is that we fail to parallelize restore of multiple blobs at all. This appears to require changes in the archive format to fix. Back-patch to 9.0 where the problem was reported. 8.4 has potential issues as well; but since it doesn't create a separate TOC entry for each blob, it's at much less risk of having enough TOC entries to cause real problems.
2010-12-08Force default wal_sync_method to be fdatasync on Linux.Tom Lane
Recent versions of the Linux system header files cause xlogdefs.h to believe that open_datasync should be the default sync method, whereas formerly fdatasync was the default on Linux. open_datasync is a bad choice, first because it doesn't actually outperform fdatasync (in fact the reverse), and second because we try to use O_DIRECT with it, causing failures on certain filesystems (e.g., ext4 with data=journal option). This part of the patch is largely per a proposal from Marti Raudsepp. More extensive changes are likely to follow in HEAD, but this is as much change as we want to back-patch. Also clean up confusing code and incorrect documentation surrounding the fsync_writethrough option. Those changes shouldn't result in any actual behavioral change, but I chose to back-patch them anyway to keep the branches looking similar in this area. In 9.0 and HEAD, also do some copy-editing on the WAL Reliability documentation section. Back-patch to all supported branches, since any of them might get used on modern Linux versions.
2010-12-07Fix bugs in the hot standby known-assigned-xids tracking logic. If there'sHeikki Linnakangas
an old transaction running in the master, and a lot of transactions have started and finished since, and a WAL-record is written in the gap between the creating the running-xacts snapshot and WAL-logging it, recovery will fail with "too many KnownAssignedXids" error. This bug was reported by Joachim Wieland on Nov 19th. In the same scenario, when fewer transactions have started so that all the xids fit in KnownAssignedXids despite the first bug, a more serious bug arises. We incorrectly initialize the clog code with the oldest still running transaction, and when we see the WAL record belonging to a transaction with an XID larger than one that committed already before the checkpoint we're recovering from, we zero the clog page containing the already committed transaction, leading to data loss. In hindsight, trying to track xids in the known-assigned-xids array before seeing the running-xacts record was too complicated. To fix that, hold XidGenLock while the running-xacts snapshot is taken and WAL-logged. That ensures that no transaction can begin or end in that gap, so that in recvoery we know that the snapshot contains all transactions running at that point in WAL.
2010-12-06Add a stack overflow check to copyObject().Tom Lane
There are some code paths, such as SPI_execute(), where we invoke copyObject() on raw parse trees before doing parse analysis on them. Since the bison grammar is capable of building heavily nested parsetrees while itself using only minimal stack depth, this means that copyObject() can be the front-line function that hits stack overflow before anything else does. Accordingly, it had better have a check_stack_depth() call. I did a bit of performance testing and found that this slows down copyObject() by only a few percent, so the hit ought to be negligible in the context of complete processing of a query. Per off-list report from Toshihide Katayama. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2010-12-06Fix two typos, by Fujii Masao.Heikki Linnakangas
2010-12-01Prevent inlining a SQL function with multiple OUT parameters.Tom Lane
There were corner cases in which the planner would attempt to inline such a function, which would result in a failure at runtime due to loss of information about exactly what the result record type is. Fix by disabling inlining when the function's recorded result type is RECORD. There might be some sub-cases where inlining could still be allowed, but this is a simple and backpatchable fix, so leave refinements for another day. Per bug #5777 from Nate Carson. Back-patch to all supported branches. 8.1 happens to avoid a core-dump here, but it still does the wrong thing.
2010-11-29Move call to GetTopTransactionId() earlier in LockAcquire(),Simon Riggs
removing an infrequently occurring race condition in Hot Standby. An xid must be assigned before a lock appears in shared memory, rather than immediately after, else GetRunningTransactionLocks() may see InvalidTransactionId, causing assertion failures during lock processing on standby. Bug report and diagnosis by Fujii Masao, fix by me.
2010-11-19Fix leakage of cost_limit when multiple autovacuum workers are active.Tom Lane
When using default autovacuum_vac_cost_limit, autovac_balance_cost relied on VacuumCostLimit to contain the correct global value ... but after the first time through in a particular worker process, it didn't, because we'd trashed it in previous iterations. Depending on the state of other autovac workers, this could result in a steady reduction of the effective cost_limit setting as a particular worker processed more and more tables, causing it to go slower and slower. Spotted by Simon Poole (bug #5759). Fix by saving and restoring the GUC variables in the loop in do_autovacuum. In passing, improve a few comments. Back-patch to 8.3 ... the cost rebalancing code has been buggy since it was put in.
2010-11-18Improve plpgsql's error reporting for no-such-column cases.Tom Lane
Given a column reference foo.bar, where there is a composite plpgsql variable foo but it doesn't contain a column bar, the pre-9.0 coding would immediately throw a "record foo has no field bar" error. In 9.0 the parser hook instead falls through to let the core parser see if it can resolve the reference. If not, you get a complaint about "missing FROM-clause entry for table foo", which while in some sense correct isn't terribly helpful. Complicate things a bit so that we can throw the old error message if neither the core parser nor the hook are able to resolve the column reference, while not changing the behavior in any other case. Per bug #5757 from Andrey Galkin.
2010-11-16Send paramHandle to subprocesses as 64-bit on Win64Magnus Hagander
The handle to the shared memory segment containing startup parameters was sent as 32-bit even on 64-bit systems. Since HANDLEs appear to be allocated sequentially this shouldn't be a problem until we reach 2^32 open handles in the postmaster, but a 64-bit value should be sent across as 64-bit, and not zero out the top 32 bits. Noted by Tom Lane.
2010-11-16The GiST scan algorithm uses LSNs to detect concurrent pages splits, butHeikki Linnakangas
temporary indexes are not WAL-logged. We used a constant LSN for temporary indexes, on the assumption that we don't need to worry about concurrent page splits in temporary indexes because they're only visible to the current session. But that assumption is wrong, it's possible to insert rows and split pages in the same session, while a scan is in progress. For example, by opening a cursor and fetching some rows, and INSERTing new rows before fetching some more. Fix by generating fake increasing LSNs, used in place of real LSNs in temporary GiST indexes.
2010-11-15Fix aboriginal mistake in plpython's set-returning-function support.Tom Lane
We must stay in the function's SPI context until done calling the iterator that returns the set result. Otherwise, any attempt to invoke SPI features in the python code called by the iterator will malfunction. Diagnosis and patch by Jan Urbanski, per bug report from Jean-Baptiste Quenot. Back-patch to 8.2; there was no support for SRFs in previous versions of plpython.
