2011-12-12Move BKP_REMOVABLE bit from individual WAL records to WAL page headers.Tom Lane
Removing this bit from xl_info allows us to restore the old limit of four (not three) separate pages touched by a WAL record, which is needed for the upcoming SP-GiST feature, and will likely be useful elsewhere in future. When we implemented XLR_BKP_REMOVABLE in 2007, we had to do it like that because no special WAL-visible action was taken when starting a backup. However, now we force a segment switch when starting a backup, so a compressing WAL archiver (such as pglesslog) that uses the state shown in the current page header will not be fooled as to removability of backup blocks. The only downside is that the archiver will not return to compressing mode for up to one WAL page after the backup is over, which is a small price to pay for getting back the extra xl_info bit. In any case the archiver could look for XLOG_BACKUP_END records if it thought it was worth the trouble to do so. Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC since this is effectively a change in WAL format.
2011-12-12Revert the behavior of inet/cidr functions to not unpack the arguments.Heikki Linnakangas
I forgot to change the functions to use the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro, when I changed DatumGetInetP() to unpack the datum, like Datum*P macros usually do. Also, I screwed up the definition of the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro, and didn't notice because it wasn't used. This fixes the memory leak when sorting inet values, as reported by Jochen Erwied and debugged by Andres Freund. Backpatch to 8.3, like the previous patch that broke it.
2011-12-10Miscellaneous cleanup to silence compiler warnings seen on Mingw.Andrew Dunstan
Remove some dead code, conditionally declare some items or call some code, and fix one or two declarations.
2011-12-10Remove define inadvertantly left over from testing.Andrew Dunstan
2011-12-10Enable compiling with the mingw-w64 32 bit compiler.Andrew Dunstan
Original patch by Lars Kanis, reviewed by Nishiyama Tomoaki and tweaked some by me. This compiler, or at least the latest version of it, is currently broken, and only passes the regression tests if built with -O0.
2011-12-09Add ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER / RENAME and ALTER SERVER / RENAMEPeter Eisentraut
2011-12-09Don't set reachedMinRecoveryPoint during crash recovery. In crash recovery,Heikki Linnakangas
we don't reach consistency before replaying all of the WAL. Rename the variable to reachedConsistency, to make its intention clearer. In master, that was an active bug because of the recent patch to immediately PANIC if a reference to a missing page is found in WAL after reaching consistency, as Tom Lane's test case demonstrated. In 9.1 and 9.0, the only consequence was a misleading "consistent recovery state reached at %X/%X" message in the log at the beginning of crash recovery (the database is not consistent at that point yet). In 8.4, the log message was not printed in crash recovery, even though there was a similar reachedMinRecoveryPoint local variable that was also set early. So, backpatch to 9.1 and 9.0.
2011-12-09Cancel running query if it is detected that the connection to the client isHeikki Linnakangas
lost. The only way we detect that at the moment is when write() fails when we try to write to the socket. Florian Pflug with small changes by me, reviewed by Greg Jaskiewicz.

2011-12-07Fix corner cases in readlink() usage.Tom Lane
Make sure all calls are protected by HAVE_READLINK, and get the buffer overflow tests right. Be a bit more paranoid about string length in _tarWriteHeader(), too.
2011-12-07Better error reporting if the link target is too longMagnus Hagander
This situation won't set errno, so using %m will give an incorrect error message.
2011-12-07Avoid using readlink() on platforms that don't support itMagnus Hagander
We don't have any such platforms now, but might in the future. Also, detect cases when a tablespace symlink points to a path that is longer than we can handle, and give a warning.
2011-12-07Remove spclocation field from pg_tablespaceMagnus Hagander
Instead, add a function pg_tablespace_location(oid) used to return the same information, and do this by reading the symbolic link. Doing it this way makes it possible to relocate a tablespace when the database is down by simply changing the symbolic link.
2011-12-07Create a "sort support" interface API for faster sorting.Tom Lane
This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally provide non-SQL-callable support functions for sorting. In the initial patch, we only use this to provide a directly-callable comparator function, which can be invoked with a bit less overhead than the traditional SQL-callable comparator. While that should be of value in itself, the real reason for doing this is to provide a datatype-extensible framework for more aggressive optimizations, as in Peter Geoghegan's recent work. Robert Haas and Tom Lane
2011-12-06Typo fixes for commit 2ad36c4e44c8b513f6155656e1b7a8d26715bb94.Robert Haas
Noted during post-commit review by by Noah Misch.
2011-12-06Make command-line tools smarter about finding a DB to connect to.Robert Haas
If unable to connect to "postgres", try "template1". This allows things to work more smoothly in the case where the postgres database has been dropped. And just in case that's not good enough, also allow the user to specify a maintenance database to be used for the initial connection, to cover the case where neither postgres nor template1 is suitable.
2011-12-05Remove troublesome Asserts in cost_mergejoin().Tom Lane
While logically correct, these two Asserts could fail depending on the vagaries of floating-point arithmetic. In particular, on machines with floating-point registers wider than standard "double" values, it was possible for the compiler to compare a rounded-to-double value already stored in memory with an unrounded long double value still in a register. Given the preceding checks, these assertions aren't adding much, so let's just get rid of them rather than try to find a compiler-proof fix. Per report from Pavel Stehule. Given the lack of previous complaints, and the fact that only developers would be likely to trip over it, I'm only going to change this in HEAD, even though the code has been like this for a long time.
2011-12-05plpython: Add SPI cursor supportPeter Eisentraut
Add a function plpy.cursor that is similar to plpy.execute but uses an SPI cursor to avoid fetching the entire result set into memory. Jan Urbański, reviewed by Steve Singer
2011-12-04Add a \setenv command to psql.Andrew Dunstan
This can be used to set (or unset) environment variables that will affect programs called by psql (such as the PAGER), probably most usefully in a .psqlrc file. Andrew Dunstan, reviewed by Josh Kupershmidt.
2011-12-04Applied another patch by Zoltan to fix memory alignement issues in ecpg's sqldaMichael Meskes
code.
2011-12-03Treat ENOTDIR as ENOENT when looking for client certificate fileMagnus Hagander
This makes it possible to use a libpq app with home directory set to /dev/null, for example - treating it the same as if the file doesn't exist (which it doesn't). Per bug #6302, reported by Diego Elio Petteno
2011-12-02psql: Make temporary editor files have .sql extensionPeter Eisentraut
This gives editors a better chance to treat these files as the SQL files that they are.
2011-12-02During recovery, if we reach consistent state and still have entries in theHeikki Linnakangas
invalid-page hash table, PANIC immediately. Immediate PANIC is much better than waiting for end-of-recovery, which is what we did before, because the end-of-recovery might not come until months later if this is a standby server. Also refrain from creating a restartpoint if there are invalid-page entries in the hash table. Restarting recovery from such a restartpoint would not see the invalid references, and wouldn't be able to cross-check them when consistency is reached. That wouldn't matter when things are going smoothly, but the more sanity checks you have the better. Fujii Masao
2011-12-01Make pgcompinclude/pgrminclude less tied to Bruce's personal machine.Robert Haas
Not everyone has /pg linked to the src subdirectory of their PostgreSQL tree. Also, cc isn't the way to invoke the compiler everywhere.
2011-12-01Fix getTypeIOParam to support type record[].Tom Lane
Since record[] uses array_in, it needs to have its element type passed as typioparam. In HEAD and 9.1, this fix essentially reverts commit 9bc933b2125a5358722490acbc50889887bf7680, which was a hack that is no longer needed since domains don't set their typelem anymore. Before that, adjust the logic so that only domains are excluded from being treated like arrays, rather than assuming that only base types should be included. Add a regression test to demonstrate the need for this. Per report from Maxim Boguk. Back-patch to 8.4, where type record[] was added.

DST law changes in Brazil, Cuba, Fiji, Palestine, Russia, Samoa. Historical corrections for Alaska and British East Africa.
2011-11-30Improve table locking behavior in the face of current DDL.Robert Haas
In the previous coding, callers were faced with an awkward choice: look up the name, do permissions checks, and then lock the table; or look up the name, lock the table, and then do permissions checks. The first choice was wrong because the results of the name lookup and permissions checks might be out-of-date by the time the table lock was acquired, while the second allowed a user with no privileges to interfere with access to a table by users who do have privileges (e.g. if a malicious backend queues up for an AccessExclusiveLock on a table on which AccessShareLock is already held, further attempts to access the table will be blocked until the AccessExclusiveLock is obtained and the malicious backend's transaction rolls back). To fix, allow callers of RangeVarGetRelid() to pass a callback which gets executed after performing the name lookup but before acquiring the relation lock. If the name lookup is retried (because invalidation messages are received), the callback will be re-executed as well, so we get the best of both worlds. RangeVarGetRelid() is renamed to RangeVarGetRelidExtended(); callers not wishing to supply a callback can continue to invoke it as RangeVarGetRelid(), which is now a macro. Since the only one caller that uses nowait = true now passes a callback anyway, the RangeVarGetRelid() macro defaults nowait as well. The callback can also be used for supplemental locking - for example, REINDEX INDEX needs to acquire the table lock before the index lock to reduce deadlock possibilities. There's a lot more work to be done here to fix all the cases where this can be a problem, but this commit provides the general infrastructure and fixes the following specific cases: REINDEX INDEX, REINDEX TABLE, LOCK TABLE, and and DROP TABLE/INDEX/SEQUENCE/VIEW/FOREIGN TABLE. Per discussion with Noah Misch and Alvaro Herrera.
2011-11-30Tweak previous patch to ensure edata->filename always gets initialized.Tom Lane
On a platform that isn't supplying __FILE__, previous coding would either crash or give a stale result for the filename string. Not sure how likely that is, but the original code catered for it, so let's keep doing so.
2011-11-30Strip file names reported in error messages in vpath buildsPeter Eisentraut
In vpath builds, the __FILE__ macro that is used in verbose error reports contains the full absolute file name, which makes the error messages excessively verbose. So keep only the base name, thus matching the behavior of non-vpath builds.
2011-11-29Remove duplicate definition of 'progname'.Tom Lane
Per buildfarm.
2011-11-29Prevent autovacuum transactions from running in serializable mode.Tom Lane
Force the transaction isolation level to READ COMMITTED in autovacuum worker and launcher processes. There is no benefit to using a higher isolation level, and doing so could result in delaying foreground transactions (or maybe even causing unnecessary serialization failures?). Noted by Dan Ports. Also, make sure we disable zero_damaged_pages and statement_timeout in the autovac launcher, not only workers. Now that the launcher can run transactions, these settings could affect its behavior, and it seems like the same arguments apply to the launcher as the workers.
2011-11-29Clean up after recent pg_dump patches.Tom Lane
Fix entirely broken handling of va_list printing routines, update some out-of-date comments, fix some bogus inclusion orders, fix NLS declarations, fix missed realloc calls.
2011-11-29When a row fails a not-null constraint, show row's contents in errdetail.Tom Lane
Simple extension of previous patch for CHECK constraints.
2011-11-29Simplify the pg_dump/pg_restore error reporting macros, and allowBruce Momjian
pg_dumpall to use the same memory allocation functions as the others.
2011-11-29When a row fails a CHECK constraint, show row's contents in errdetail.Tom Lane
This should make it easier to identify which row is problematic when an insert or update is processing many rows. The formatting is similar to that for unique-index violation messages, except that we limit field widths to 64 bytes since otherwise the message could get unreasonably long. (In particular, there's currently no attempt to quote or escape field values that contain commas etc.) Jan Kundrát, reviewed by Royce Ausburn, somewhat rewritten by me.
2011-11-29pg_dump: Add gettext plural support to error messagePeter Eisentraut
2011-11-29plpython: Fix sed expression in python3 buildPeter Eisentraut
The old expression sed 's,$(srcdir),python3,' would normally resolve as sed 's,.,python3,', which is not really what we wanted. While it doesn't actually break anything right now, it's still wrong, so put in a bit more work to make it more robust.
2011-11-29pg_dump: Fix clean rule after file renaming shufflePeter Eisentraut
2011-11-28Document that perl needs to be indented during the pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2011-11-28Make some minor formatting improvements to what pgindent did.Tom Lane
Moving the code two full tab stops to the right requires rethinking of cosmetic code layout choices, which pgindent isn't really able to do for us. Whitespace and comment adjustments only, no code changes.
2011-11-28Disallow deletion of CurrentExtensionObject while running extension script.Tom Lane
While the deletion in itself wouldn't break things, any further creation of objects in the script would result in dangling pg_depend entries being added by recordDependencyOnCurrentExtension(). An example from Phil Sorber convinced me that this is just barely likely enough to be worth expending a couple lines of code to defend against. The resulting error message might be confusing, but it's better than leaving corrupted catalog contents for the user to deal with.
2011-11-28Pgindent clauses.c, per request from Tom.Bruce Momjian
2011-11-28Convert eval_const_expressions's long series of IsA tests into a switch.Tom Lane
This function has now grown enough cases that a switch seems appropriate. This results in a measurable speed improvement on some platforms, and should certainly not hurt. The code's in need of a pgindent run now, though. Andres Freund
2011-11-28Fix some bogosities in pg_dump's foreign-table support.Tom Lane
The server name for a foreign table was not quoted at need, as per report from Ronan Dunklau. Also, queries related to FDW options were inadequately schema-qualified in places where the search path isn't just pg_catalog, and were inconsistently formatted everywhere, and we didn't always check that we got the expected number of rows from them.
2011-11-28Add libpq connection option to disable SSL compressionMagnus Hagander
This can be used to remove the overhead of SSL compression on fast networks. Laurenz Albe
2011-11-27Ensure that whole-row junk Vars are always of composite type.Tom Lane
The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.) To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases. This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared. In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example: regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x; ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function
2011-11-27Make pg_dumpall build with the right object files under MSVC.Andrew Dunstan
This fixes a longstanding but up to now benign bug in the way pg_dumpall was built. The bug was exposed by recent code adjustments. The Makefile does not use $(OBJS) to build pg_dumpall, so this fix removes their source files from the pg_dumpall object and adds in the one source file it consequently needs.
2011-11-27Use IEEE infinity, not 1e10, for null-and-not-null case in gistpenalty().Tom Lane
Use of a randomly chosen large value was never exactly graceful, and now that there are penalty functions that are intentionally using infinity, it doesn't seem like a good idea for null-vs-not-null to be using something less.
2011-11-27Improve GiST range-contained-by searches by adding a flag for empty ranges.Tom Lane
In the original implementation, a range-contained-by search had to scan the entire index because an empty range could be lurking anywhere. Improve that by adding a flag to upper GiST entries that says whether the represented subtree contains any empty ranges. Also, make a simple mod to the penalty function to discourage empty ranges from getting pushed into subtrees without any. This needs more work, and the picksplit function should be taught about it too, but that code can be improved without causing an on-disk compatibility break; so we'll leave it for another day. Since we're breaking on-disk compatibility of range values anyway, I took the opportunity to reorganize the range flags bits; the unused RANGE_xB_NULL bits are now adjacent, which might open the door for using them in some other way later. In passing, remove the GiST range opclass entry for <>, which doesn't seem like it can really be indexed usefully. Alexander Korotkov, with some editorializing by Tom
2011-11-27Add pg_upgrade test suitePeter Eisentraut
It runs the regression tests, runs pg_upgrade on the populated database, and compares the before and after dumps. While not actually a cross-version upgrade, this does detect omissions and bugs in the involved tools from time to time. It's also possible to do a cross-version upgrade by manually supplying parameters.
