2011-04-12Be more wary of missing statistics in eqjoinsel_semi().Tom Lane
In particular, if we don't have real ndistinct estimates for both sides, fall back to assuming that half of the left-hand rows have join partners. This is what was done in 8.2 and 8.3 (cf nulltestsel() in those versions). It's pretty stupid but it won't lead us to think that an antijoin produces no rows out, as seen in recent example from Uwe Schroeder.
2011-04-10Adjust regression tests on cube and ECPG for MinGW 64 bit compiler.Andrew Dunstan
Backport to 9.0, we're not supporting this compiler on earlier releases.
2011-04-09Backport changes to allow building with MinGW 64 bit compiler.Andrew Dunstan
These changes have been in HEAD for some time with no ill effect. They are only being backported to 9.0, as the required WINNT version was not high enough before that.
2011-04-08Have pg_upgrade properly preserve relfrozenxid in toast tables.Bruce Momjian
This fixes a pg_upgrade bug that could lead to query errors when clog files are improperly removed.
2011-04-07Avoid use of mixed slash style paths in arguments to xcopy in MSVC builds.Andrew Dunstan
Some versions of xcopy, notably on Windows 7 don't like it. Backpatch to 8.3, where we first used xcopy.
2011-04-07Modernize dlopen interface code for FreeBSD and OpenBSD.Tom Lane
Remove the hard-wired assumption that __mips__ (and only __mips__) lacks dlopen in FreeBSD and OpenBSD. This assumption is outdated at least for OpenBSD, as per report from an anonymous 9.1 tester. We can perfectly well use HAVE_DLOPEN instead to decide which code to use. Some other cosmetic adjustments to make freebsd.c, netbsd.c, and openbsd.c exactly alike.
2011-04-07Fix SortTocFromFile() to cope with lines that are too long for its buffer.Tom Lane
The original coding supposed that a dump TOC file could never contain lines longer than 1K. The folly of that was exposed by a recent report from Per-Olov Esgard. We only really need to see the first dozen or two bytes of each line, since we're just trying to read off the numeric ID at the start of the line; so there's no need for a particularly huge buffer. What there is a need for is logic to not process continuation bufferloads. Back-patch to all supported branches, since it's always been like this.
2011-04-02Fix typo in PQconnectStartParams().Tom Lane
This would lead to leaking the PGconn structure after an error detected by conninfo_array_parse(), as well as failing to return a useful error message in such cases. Backpatch to 9.0 where the error was introduced. Joseph Adams
2011-04-01Avoid palloc before CurrentMemoryContext is set up on win32Magnus Hagander
Instead, write the unconverted output - it will be in the wrong encoding, but at least we don't crash. Rushabh Lathia
2011-03-30Check that we've reached end-of-backup also when we're not performingHeikki Linnakangas
archive recovery. It's possible to restore an online backup without recovery.conf, by simply copying all the necessary WAL files to pg_xlog. "pg_basebackup -x" does that too. That's the use case where this cross-check is useful. Backpatch to 9.0. We used to do this in earlier versins, but in 9.0 the code was inadvertently changed so that the check is only performed after archive recovery. Fujii Masao.
2011-03-28Prevent a rowtype from being included in itself.Tom Lane
Eventually we might be able to allow that, but it's not clear how many places need to be fixed to prevent infinite recursion when there's a direct or indirect inclusion of a rowtype in itself. One such place is CheckAttributeType(), which will recurse to stack overflow in cases such as those exhibited in bug #5950 from Alex Perepelica. If we were sure it was the only such place, we could easily modify the code added by this patch to stop the recursion without a complaint ... but it probably isn't the only such place. Hence, throw error until such time as someone is excited enough about this type of usage to put work into making it safe. Back-patch as far as 8.3. 8.2 doesn't have the recursive call in CheckAttributeType in the first place, so I see no need to add code there in the absence of clear evidence of a problem elsewhere.
2011-03-23Prevent intermittent hang in recovery from bgwriter interaction.Simon Riggs
Startup process waited for cleanup lock but when hot_standby = off the pid was not registered, so that the bgwriter would not wake the waiting process as intended.
2011-03-22Avoid potential deadlock in InitCatCachePhase2().Tom Lane
Opening a catcache's index could require reading from that cache's own catalog, which of course would acquire AccessShareLock on the catalog. So the original coding here risks locking index before heap, which could deadlock against another backend trying to get exclusive locks in the normal order. Because InitCatCachePhase2 is only called when a backend has to start up without a relcache init file, the deadlock was seldom seen in the field. (And by the same token, there's no need to worry about any performance disadvantage; so not much point in trying to distinguish exactly which catalogs have the risk.) Bug report, diagnosis, and patch by Nikhil Sontakke. Additional commentary by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2011-03-17Fix PL/Python memory leak involving array slicesAlvaro Herrera
Report and patch from Daniel Popowich, bug #5842 (with some debugging help from Alex Hunsaker)
2011-03-17Use correct PATH separator for Cygwin in pg_regress.c.Andrew Dunstan
This has been broken for years, and I'm not sure why it has not been noticed before, but now a very modern Cygwin breaks on it, and the fix is clearly correct. Backpatching to all live branches.
2011-03-11On further reflection, we'd better do the same in int.c.Tom Lane
We previously heard of the same problem in int24div(), so there's not a good reason to suppose the problem is confined to cases involving int8.
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
maximum allowed' messages, that have reported one-less dimensions. Alexey Klyukin
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.
2011-01-27Translation updates for release 9.0.3Peter Eisentraut
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.
