2022-06-06Don't fail on libpq-generated error reports in pg_amcheck.Tom Lane
An error PGresult generated by libpq itself, such as a report of connection loss, won't have broken-down error fields. should_processing_continue() blithely assumed that PG_DIAG_SEVERITY_NONLOCALIZED would always be present, and would dump core if it wasn't.

2022-06-06Don't fail on libpq-generated error reports in ecpg_raise_backend().Tom Lane
An error PGresult generated by libpq itself, such as a report of connection loss, won't have broken-down error fields. ecpg_raise_backend() blithely assumed that PG_DIAG_MESSAGE_PRIMARY would always be present, and would end up passing a NULL string pointer to snprintf when it isn't. That would typically crash before 3779ac62d, and it would fail to provide a useful error report in any case. Best practice is to substitute PQerrorMessage(conn) in such cases, so do that.

2022-06-06Fix psql's single transaction mode on client-side errors with -c/-f switchesMichael Paquier
psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already applied in the backend. This commit makes the behavior more consistent, by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error happens in any of them. Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that. Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is what the original report is about.

2022-06-01Fix pl/perl test case so it will still work under Perl 5.36.Tom Lane
Perl 5.36 has reclassified the warning condition that this test case used, so that the expected error fails to appear. Tweak the test so it instead exercises a case that's handled the same way in all Perl versions of interest. This appears to meet our standards for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it changes no user-visible behavior but enables testing of old branches with newer tools. Hence, back-patch as far as 9.2. Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, per report from Jitka Plesníková. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/564579.1654093326@sss.pgh.pa.us
2022-05-31Revert changes to CONCURRENTLY that "sped up" Xmin advanceAlvaro Herrera
This reverts commit d9d076222f5b "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations with CONCURRENTLY". These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index creation. Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them. This is not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely occur. In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of corrupting the resulting index. Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes away. We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy fix. Backpatch to 14, where this change appeared.

2022-05-31Ensure ParseTzFile() closes the input file after failing.Tom Lane
We hadn't noticed this because (a) few people feed invalid timezone abbreviation files to the server, and (b) in typical scenarios guc.c would throw ereport(ERROR) and then transaction abort handling would silently clean up the leaked file reference. However, it was possible to observe file leakage warnings if one breaks an already-active abbreviation file, because guc.c does not throw ERROR when loading supposedly-validated settings during session start or SIGHUP processing.

2022-05-29Fix COPY FROM when database encoding is SQL_ASCII.Heikki Linnakangas
In the codepath when no encoding conversion is required, the check for incomplete character at the end of input incorrectly used server encoding's max character length, instead of the client's. Usually the server and client encodings are the same when we're not performing encoding conversion, but SQL_ASCII is an exception. In the passing, also fix some outdated comments that still talked about the old COPY protocol. It was removed in v14. Per bug #17501 from Vitaly Voronov. Backpatch to v14 where this was introduced.

2022-05-26Remove misguided SSL key file ownership check in libpq.Tom Lane
Commits a59c79564 et al. tried to sync libpq's SSL key file permissions checks with what we've used for years in the backend. We did not intend to create any new failure cases, but it turns out we did: restricting the key file's ownership breaks cases where the client is allowed to read a key file despite not having the identical UID. In particular a client running as root used to be able to read someone else's key file; and having seen that I suspect that there are other, less-dubious use cases that this restriction breaks on some platforms. We don't really need an ownership check, since if we can read the key file despite its having restricted permissions, it must have the right ownership --- under normal conditions anyway, and the point of this patch is that any additional corner cases where that works should be deemed allowable, as they have been historically. Hence, just drop the ownership check, and rearrange the permissions check to get rid of its faulty assumption that geteuid() can't be zero. (Note that the comparable backend-side code doesn't have to cater for geteuid() == 0, since the server rejects that very early on.) This does have the end result that the permissions safety check used for a root user's private key file is weaker than that used for anyone else's. While odd, root really ought to know what she's doing with file permissions, so I think this is acceptable. Per report from Yogendra Suralkar. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/MW3PR15MB3931DF96896DC36D21AFD47CA3D39@MW3PR15MB3931.namprd15.prod.outlook.com
2022-05-21Show 'AS "?column?"' explicitly when it's important.Tom Lane
ruleutils.c was coded to suppress the AS label for a SELECT output expression if the column name is "?column?", which is the parser's fallback if it can't think of something better. This is fine, and avoids ugly clutter, so long as (1) nothing further up in the parse tree relies on that column name or (2) the same fallback would be assigned when the rule or view definition is reloaded. Unfortunately (2) is far from certain, both because ruleutils.c might print the expression in a different form from how it was originally written and because FigureColname's rules might change in future releases. So we shouldn't rely on that. Detecting exactly whether there is any outer-level use of a SELECT column name would be rather expensive. This patch takes the simpler approach of just passing down a flag indicating whether there *could* be any outer use; for example, the output column names of a SubLink are not referenceable, and we also do not care about the names exposed by the right-hand side of a setop. This is sufficient to suppress unwanted clutter in all but one case in the regression tests. That seems like reasonable evidence that it won't be too much in users' faces, while still fixing the cases we need to fix. Per bug #17486 from Nicolas Lutic. This issue is ancient, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17486-1ad6fd786728b8af@postgresql.org

2022-05-16Fix incorrect row estimates used for Memoize costingDavid Rowley
In order to estimate the cache hit ratio of a Memoize node, one of the inputs we require is the estimated number of times the Memoize node will be rescanned. The higher this number, the large the cache hit ratio is likely to become. Unfortunately, the value being passed as the number of "calls" to the Memoize was incorrectly using the Nested Loop's outer_path->parent->rows instead of outer_path->rows. This failed to account for the fact that the outer_path might be parameterized by some upper-level Nested Loop. This problem could lead to Memoize plans appearing more favorable than they might actually be. It could also lead to extended executor startup times when work_mem values were large due to the planner setting overly large MemoizePath->est_entries resulting in the Memoize hash table being initially made much larger than might be required. Fix this simply by passing outer_path->rows rather than outer_path->parent->rows. Also, adjust the expected regression test output for a plan change.

2022-05-16Fix control file update done in restartpoints still running after promotionMichael Paquier
If a cluster is promoted (aka the control file shows a state different than DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY) while CreateRestartPoint() is still processing, this function could miss an update of the control file for "checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" but still do the recycling and/or removal of the past WAL segments, assuming that the to-be-updated LSN values should be used as reference points for the cleanup. This causes a follow-up restart attempting crash recovery to fail with a PANIC on a missing checkpoint record if the end-of-recovery checkpoint triggered by the promotion did not complete while the cluster abruptly stopped or crashed before the completion of this checkpoint. The PANIC would be caused by the redo LSN referred in the control file as located in a segment already gone, recycled by the previous restartpoint with "checkPoint" out-of-sync in the control file. This commit fixes the update of the control file during restartpoints so as "checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" are updated even if the cluster has been promoted while a restartpoint is running, to be on par with the set of WAL segments actually recycled in the end of CreateRestartPoint(). 7863ee4 has fixed this problem already on master, but the release timing of the latest point versions did not let me enough time to study and fix that on all the stable branches.

2022-05-11Fix the logical replication timeout during large transactions.Amit Kapila
The problem is that we don't send keep-alive messages for a long time while processing large transactions during logical replication where we don't send any data of such transactions. This can happen when the table modified in the transaction is not published or because all the changes got filtered. We do try to send the keep_alive if necessary at the end of the transaction (via WalSndWriteData()) but by that time the subscriber-side can timeout and exit. To fix this we try to send the keepalive message if required after processing certain threshold of changes.

2022-05-11Improve setup of environment values for commands in MSVC's vcregress.plMichael Paquier
The current setup assumes that commands for lz4, zstd and gzip always exist by default if not enforced by a user's environment. However, vcpkg, as one example, installs libraries but no binaries, so this default setup to assume that a command should always be present would cause failures. This commit improves the detection of such external commands as follows: * If a ENV value is available, trust the environment/user and use it. * If a ENV value is not available, check its execution by looking in the current PATH, by launching a simple "$command --version" (that should be portable enough). ** On execution failure, ignore ENV{command}. ** On execution success, set ENV{command} = "$command". Note that this new rule applies to gzip, lz4 and zstd but not tar that we assume will always exist. Those commands are set up in the environment only when using bincheck and taptest. The CI includes all those commands and I have checked that their setup is correct there. I have also tested this change in a MSVC environment where we have none of those commands. While on it, remove the references to lz4 from the documentation and vcregress.pl in ~v13. --with-lz4 has been added in v14~ so there is no point to have this information in these older branches.

Corey Huinker pointed out that we'd discussed this exact change back in 2016 and rejected it, on the grounds that there's at least one usage pattern with LIMIT where an infinite endpoint can usefully be used.

To keep our options open, restore the status quo ante; if we do end up deciding to change things, waiting one more quarter won't hurt anything.

The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling. The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(), executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends(). To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(). Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

2022-04-23Fix incautious CTE matching in rewriteSearchAndCycle().Tom Lane
This function looks for a reference to the recursive WITH CTE, but it checked only the CTE name not ctelevelsup, so that it could seize on a lower CTE that happened to have the same name. This would result in planner failures later, either weird errors such as "could not find attribute 2 in subquery targetlist", or crashes or assertion failures. The code also merely Assert'ed that it found a matching entry, which is not guaranteed at all by the parser. Per bugs #17320 and #17318 from Zhiyong Wu. Thanks to Kyotaro Horiguchi for investigation.

2022-04-21Remove inadequate assertion check in CTE inlining.Tom Lane
inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the target CTE as its cterefcount indicates. While that should be accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it, notably removal of unused subquery output expressions. Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and doomed to future breakage. It's not really worth it, because all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every referenced CTE has a plan. Let's convert those assertions to regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem, and then drop the failing assertion. Per report from Tomas Vondra (thanks also to Richard Guo for analysis). Back-patch to v12 where the faulty code came in.

2022-04-21Support new perl module namespace in stable branchesAndrew Dunstan
Commit b3b4d8e68a moved our perl test modules to a better namespace structure, but this has made life hard for people wishing to backpatch improvements in the TAP tests. Here we alleviate much of that difficulty by implementing the new module names on top of the old modules, mostly by using a little perl typeglob aliasing magic, so that we don't have a dual maintenance burden. This should work both for the case where a new test is backpatched and the case where a fix to an existing test that uses the new namespace is backpatched.

2022-04-20Fix CLUSTER tuplesorts on abbreviated expressions.Peter Geoghegan
CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering against an index whose leading key is an expression. This makes it unsafe to use the abbreviated keys optimization, which was missed by the logic that sets up SortSupport state. Affected tuplesorts output tuples in a completely bogus order as a result (the wrong SortSupport based comparator was used for the leading attribute). This issue is similar to the bug fixed on the master branch by recent commit cc58eecc5d. But it's a far older issue, that dates back to the introduction of the abbreviated keys optimization by commit 4ea51cdfe8. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2022-04-20Allow db.schema.table patterns, but complain about random garbage.Robert Haas
psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in 'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'. In v14, as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0a496608919d1f78a5abc8c9b6e0868, we instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named 'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using them as arguments to \d. Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name. That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just myschema.mytable, but otherdb.myschema.mytable is an error, and so is some.random.garbage.myschema.mytable.

2022-04-19Fix breakage in AlterFunction().Tom Lane
An ALTER FUNCTION command that tried to update both the function's proparallel property and its proconfig list failed to do the former, because it stored the new proparallel value into a tuple that was no longer the interesting one. Carelessness in 7aea8e4f2. (I did not bother with a regression test, because the only likely future breakage would be for someone to ignore the comment I added and add some other field update after the heap_modify_tuple step. A test using existing function properties could not catch that.) Per report from Bryn Llewellyn. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-04-19Fix extract epoch from interval calculationPeter Eisentraut
The new numeric code for extract epoch from interval accidentally truncated the DAYS_PER_YEAR value to an integer, leading to results that mismatched the floating-point interval_part calculations. The commit a2da77cdb4661826482ebf2ddba1f953bc74afe4 that introduced this actually contains the regression test change that this reverts. I suppose this was missed at the time.

2022-04-19Fix the check to limit sync workers.Amit Kapila
We don't allow to invoke more sync workers once we have reached the sync worker limit per subscription. But the check to enforce this also doesn't allow to launch an apply worker if it gets restarted. This code was introduced by commit de43897122 but we caught the problem only with the test added by recent commit c91f71b9dc which started failing occasionally in the buildfarm. As per buildfarm.

2022-04-18Avoid invalid array reference in transformAlterTableStmt().Tom Lane
Don't try to look at the attidentity field of system attributes, because they're not there in the TupleDescAttr array. Sometimes this is harmless because we accidentally pick up a zero, but otherwise we'll report "no owned sequence found" from an attempt to alter a system attribute. (It seems possible that a SIGSEGV could occur, too, though I've not seen it in testing.) It's not in this function's charter to complain that you can't alter a system column, so instead just hard-wire an assumption that system attributes aren't identities. I didn't bother with a regression test because the appearance of the bug is very erratic. Per bug #17465 from Roman Zharkov. Back-patch to all supported branches. (There's not actually a live bug before v12, because before that get_attidentity() did the right thing anyway. But for consistency I changed the test in the older branches too.)

2022-04-18Fix race in TAP test 002_archiving.pl when restoring history fileMichael Paquier
This test, introduced in df86e52, uses a second standby to check that it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the end of recovery. This standby uses the archives of the primary to restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from the first standby previously promoted. In slow environments, it was possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on the archives the second standby feeds on. So, it could be possible that the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a history file at all. This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is created. This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE. While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby. This ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked, is created in the first place. This should make the test more robust. This test has been introduced by df86e52, but it came in light as an effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command calls made the test much slower.
