2017-02-21Use less-generic table name in new regression test case.Tom Lane
Creating global objects named "foo" isn't an especially wise thing, but especially not in a test script that has already used that name for something else, and most especially not in a script that runs in parallel with other scripts that use that name :-( Per buildfarm.
2017-02-21Make more use of castNode()Peter Eisentraut
2017-02-21Drop support for Python 2.3Peter Eisentraut
There is no specific reason for this right now, but keeping support for old Python versions around indefinitely increases the maintenance burden. The oldest supported Python version is now Python 2.4, which is still shipped in RHEL/CentOS 5 by default. In configure, add a check for the required Python version and give a friendly error message for an old version, instead of relying on an obscure build error later on.
2017-02-20Improve error message for misuse of TZ, tz, OF formatting patterns.Tom Lane
Be specific about which pattern is being complained of, and avoid saying "it's not supported in to_date", which is just confusing if the error is actually coming out of to_timestamp. We can phrase it as "is only supported in to_char", instead. Also, use the term "formatting field" not "format pattern", because other error messages in the same file prefer that terminology. (This isn't terribly consistent with the documentation, so maybe we should change all these error messages?)
2017-02-19Make src/interfaces/libpq/test clean up after itself.Tom Lane
It failed to remove a .o file during "make clean", and it lacked a .gitignore file entirely.
2017-02-19Dept of second thoughts: rename new perl script.Tom Lane
It didn't take long at all for me to become irritated that the original choice of name for this script resulted in "warning" showing up in several places in build logs, because I tend to grep for that. Change the script name to avoid that.
2017-02-19Adjust PL/Tcl regression test to dodge a possible bug or zone dependency.Tom Lane
One case in the PL/Tcl tests is observed to fail on RHEL5 with a Turkish time zone setting. It's not clear if this is an old Tcl bug or something odd about the zone data, but in any case that test is meant to see if the Tcl [clock] command works at all, not what its corner-case behaviors are. Therefore we have no need to test exactly which week a Sunday midnight is considered to fall into. Probe the following Tuesday instead. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/797.1487517822@sss.pgh.pa.us
2017-02-19Suppress "unused variable" warnings with older versions of flex.Tom Lane
Versions of flex before 2.5.36 might generate code that results in an "unused variable" warning, when using %option reentrant. Historically we've worked around that by specifying -Wno-error, but that's an unsatisfying solution. The official "fix" for this was just to insert a dummy reference to the variable, so write a small perl script that edits the generated C code similarly. The MSVC side of this is untested, but the buildfarm should soon reveal if I broke that. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/25456.1487437842@sss.pgh.pa.us
2017-02-19Make partitions automatically inherit OIDs.Robert Haas
Previously, if the parent was specified as WITH OIDS, each child also had to be explicitly specified as WITH OIDS. Amit Langote, per a report from Simon Riggs.

2017-02-19Add optimizer and executor support for parallel index-only scans.Robert Haas
Commit 5262f7a4fc44f651241d2ff1fa688dd664a34874 added similar support for parallel index scans; this extends that work to index-only scans. As with parallel index scans, this requires support from the index AM, so currently parallel index-only scans will only be possible for btree indexes.

2017-02-19Make dsa_allocate interface more like MemoryContextAlloc.Robert Haas
A new function dsa_allocate_extended now takes flags which indicate that huge allocations should be permitted, that out-of-memory conditions should not throw an error, and/or that the returned memory should be zero-filled, just like MemoryContextAllocateExtended. Commit 9acb85597f1223ac26a5b19a9345849c43d0ff54, which added dsa_allocate0, was broken because it failed to account for the possibility that dsa_allocate() might return InvalidDsaPointer. This fixes that problem along the way. Thomas Munro, with some comment changes by me. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+Tgmobt7CcF_uQP2UQwWmu4K9qCHehMJP9_9m1urwP8hbOeHQ@mail.gmail.com

The recovery.conf file that's generated is specifically for replication, and not needed (or wanted) for regular backup restore, so indicate that in the message.
2017-02-17Optimize query for information_schema.constraint_column_usagePeter Eisentraut
The way the old query was written prevented some join optimizations because the join conditions were hidden inside a CASE expression. With a large number of constraints, the query became unreasonably slow. The new query performs much better.

2017-02-15Formatting and docs corrections for logical decoding output plugins.Tom Lane
Make the typedefs for output plugins consistent with project style; they were previously not even consistent with each other as to layout or inclusion of parameter names. Make the documentation look the same, and fix errors therein (missing and misdescribed parameters). Back-patch because of the documentation bugs.
2017-02-15Make sure that hash join's bulk-tuple-transfer loops are interruptible.Tom Lane
The loops in ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches(), and ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket() are all capable of iterating over many tuples without ever doing a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, so that the backend might fail to respond to SIGINT or SIGTERM for an unreasonably long time. Fix that. In the case of ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), it seems useful to put the added CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into ExecHashJoinGetSavedTuple() rather than directly in the loop, because that will also ensure that both principal code paths through ExecHashJoinOuterGetTuple() will do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, which seems like a good idea to avoid surprises. Back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Thomas Munro Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6044.1487121720@sss.pgh.pa.us
2017-02-15Fix tab completion for "ALTER SYSTEM SET variable ...".Tom Lane
It wouldn't complete "TO" after the variable name, which is certainly minor enough. But since we do complete "TO" after "SET variable ...", and since this case used to work pre-9.6, I think this is a bug. Also, fix the query used to collect the variable names; whoever last touched it evidently didn't understand how the pieces are supposed to fit together. It accidentally worked anyway, because readline ignores irrelevant completions, but it was randomly unlike the ones around it, and could be a source of actual bugs if someone copied it as a prototype for another query.
2017-02-15Fix YA unwanted behavioral difference with operator_precedence_warning.Tom Lane
Jeff Janes noted that the error cursor position shown for some errors would vary when operator_precedence_warning is turned on. We'd prefer that option to have no undocumented effects, so this isn't desirable. To fix, make sure that an AEXPR_PAREN node has the same exprLocation as its child node. (Note: it would be a little cheaper to use @2 here instead of an exprLocation call, but there are cases where that wouldn't produce the identical answer, so don't do it like that.) Back-patch to 9.5 where this feature was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1ykK+VhhcQ4Ky8KBo9FoaUJH3f3rDQB8TkTXi-ZsBRUkQ@mail.gmail.com
2017-02-15Add optimizer and executor support for parallel index scans.Robert Haas
In combination with 569174f1be92be93f5366212cc46960d28a5c5cd, which taught the btree AM how to perform parallel index scans, this allows parallel index scan plans on btree indexes. This infrastructure should be general enough to support parallel index scans for other index AMs as well, if someone updates them to support parallel scans.

2017-02-15Replace min_parallel_relation_size with two new GUCs.Robert Haas
When min_parallel_relation_size was added, the only supported type of parallel scan was a parallel sequential scan, but there are pending patches for parallel index scan, parallel index-only scan, and parallel bitmap heap scan. Those patches introduce two new types of complications: first, what's relevant is not really the total size of the relation but the portion of it that we will scan; and second, index pages and heap pages shouldn't necessarily be treated in exactly the same way. Typically, the number of index pages will be quite small, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a parallel index scan can't pay off. Therefore, we introduce min_parallel_table_scan_size, which works out a degree of parallelism for scans based on the number of table pages that will be scanned (and which is therefore equivalent to min_parallel_relation_size for parallel sequential scans) and also min_parallel_index_scan_size which can be used to work out a degree of parallelism based on the number of index pages that will be scanned.

2017-02-15btree: Support parallel index scans.Robert Haas
This isn't exposed to the optimizer or the executor yet; we'll add support for those things in a separate patch. But this puts the basic mechanism in place: several processes can attach to a parallel btree index scan, and each one will get a subset of the tuples that would have been produced by a non-parallel scan. Each index page becomes the responsibility of a single worker, which then returns all of the TIDs on that page.

2017-02-14Allow parallel workers to execute subplans.Robert Haas
This doesn't do anything to make Param nodes anything other than parallel-restricted, so this only helps with uncorrelated subplans, and it's not necessarily very cheap because each worker will run the subplan separately (just as a Hash Join will build a separate copy of the hash table in each participating process), but it's a first step toward supporting cases that are more likely to help in practice, and is occasionally useful on its own.

2017-02-14Split index xlog headers from other private index headers.Robert Haas
The xlog-specific headers need to be included in both frontend code - specifically, pg_waldump - and the backend, but the remainder of the private headers for each index are only needed by the backend. By splitting the xlog stuff out into separate headers, pg_waldump pulls in fewer backend headers, which is a good thing.

2017-02-13Remove contrib/tsearch2.Robert Haas
This module was intended to ease migrations of applications that used the pre-8.3 version of text search to the in-core version introduced in that release. However, since all pre-8.3 releases of the database have been out of support for more than 5 years at this point, we expect that few people are depending on it at this point. If some people still need it, nothing prevents it from being maintained as a separate extension, outside of core.

2017-02-12Ignore tablespace ACLs when ignoring schema ACLs.Noah Misch
The ALTER TABLE ALTER TYPE implementation can issue DROP INDEX and CREATE INDEX to refit existing indexes for the new column type. Since this CREATE INDEX is an implementation detail of an index alteration, the ensuing DefineIndex() should skip ACL checks specific to index creation. It already skips the namespace ACL check. Make it skip the tablespace ACL check, too. Back-patch to 9.2 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Tom Lane.
2017-02-10Add CREATE SEQUENCE AS <data type> clausePeter Eisentraut
This stores a data type, required to be an integer type, with the sequence. The sequences min and max values default to the range supported by the type, and they cannot be set to values exceeding that range. The internal implementation of the sequence is not affected. Change the serial types to create sequences of the appropriate type. This makes sure that the min and max values of the sequence for a serial column match the range of values supported by the table column. So the sequence can no longer overflow the table column. This also makes monitoring for sequence exhaustion/wraparound easier, which currently requires various contortions to cross-reference the sequences with the table columns they are used with. This commit also effectively reverts the pg_sequence column reordering in f3b421da5f4addc95812b9db05a24972b8fd9739, because the new seqtypid column allows us to fill the hole in the struct and create a more natural overall column ordering.

2017-02-09Blind try to fix portability issue in commit 8f93bd851 et al.Tom Lane
The S/390 members of the buildfarm are showing failures indicating that they're having trouble with the rint() calls I added yesterday. There's no good reason for that, and I wonder if it is a compiler bug similar to the one we worked around in d9476b838. Try to fix it using the same method as before, namely to store the result of rint() back into a "double" variable rather than immediately converting to int64. (This isn't entirely waving a dead chicken, since on machines with wider-than-double float registers, the extra store forces a width conversion. I don't know if S/390 is like that, but it seems worth trying.) In passing, merge duplicate ereport() calls in float8_timestamptz(). Per buildfarm.
2017-02-09Remove all references to "xlog" from SQL-callable functions in pg_proc.Robert Haas
Commit f82ec32ac30ae7e3ec7c84067192535b2ff8ec0e renamed the pg_xlog directory to pg_wal. To make things consistent, and because "xlog" is terrible terminology for either "transaction log" or "write-ahead log" rename all SQL-callable functions that contain "xlog" in the name to instead contain "wal". (Note that this may pose an upgrade hazard for some users.) Similarly, rename the xlog_position argument of the functions that create slots to be called wal_position.

2017-02-09simplehash: Additional tweaks to make specifying an allocator work.Robert Haas
Even if we don't emit definitions for SH_ALLOCATE and SH_FREE, we still need prototypes. The user can't define them before including simplehash.h because SH_TYPE isn't available yet. For the allocator to be able to access private_data, it needs to become an argument to SH_CREATE. Previously we relied on callers to set that after returning from SH_CREATE, but SH_CREATE calls SH_ALLOCATE before returning. Dilip Kumar, reviewed by me.

2017-02-09pageinspect: Fix hash_bitmap_info not to read the underlying page.Robert Haas
It did that to verify that the page was an overflow page rather than anything else, but that means that checking the status of all the overflow bits requires reading the entire index. So don't do that. The new code validates that the page is not a primary bucket page or bitmap page by looking at the metapage, so that using this on large numbers of pages can be reasonably efficient.

2017-02-09Allow index AMs to cache data across aminsert calls within a SQL command.Tom Lane
It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls. This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call. (The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache, so there's little to improve there.) For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two. In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated catalog lookups are vastly more expensive. The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert. That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.
