Phil Sorber reported that a rewriting ALTER TABLE within an extension
update script failed, because it creates and then drops a placeholder
table; the drop was being disallowed because the table was marked as an
extension member. We could hack that specific case but it seems likely
that there might be related cases now or in the future, so the most
practical solution seems to be to create an exception to the general rule
that extension member objects can only be dropped by dropping the owning
extension. To wit: if the DROP is issued within the extension's own
creation or update scripts, we'll allow it, implicitly performing an
"ALTER EXTENSION DROP object" first. This will simplify cases such as
extension downgrade scripts anyway.
No docs change since we don't seem to have documented the idea that you
would need ALTER EXTENSION DROP for such an action to begin with.
Also, arrange for explicitly temporary tables to not get linked as
extension members in the first place, and the same for the magic
pg_temp_nnn schemas that are created to hold them. This prevents assorted
unpleasant results if an extension script creates a temp table: the forced
drop at session end would either fail or remove the entire extension, and
neither of those outcomes is desirable. Note that this doesn't fix the
ALTER TABLE scenario, since the placeholder table is not temp (unless the
table being rewritten is).
Back-patch to 9.1.

In constructs such as "x IN (1,2,3,4)" and "x <> ALL(ARRAY[1,2,3,4])",
we formerly always used a general-purpose assumption that the probability
of success is independent for each comparison of "x" to an array element.
But in real-world usage of these constructs, that's a pretty poor
assumption; it's much saner to assume that the array elements are distinct
and so the match probabilities are disjoint. Apply that assumption if the
operator appears to behave as equality (for ANY) or inequality (for ALL).
But fall back to the normal independent-probabilities calculation if this
yields an impossible result, ie probability > 1 or < 0. We could protect
ourselves against bad estimates even more by explicitly checking for equal
array elements, but that is expensive and doesn't seem worthwhile: doing
it would amount to optimizing for poorly-written queries at the expense
of well-written ones.

Multi-line "Inherits:" and "Child tables:" footers were misindented when
those strings' translations involved multibyte characters, because we were
using strlen() instead of an appropriate display width measurement.
In passing, avoid doing gettext() more than once per loop in these places.
While at it, fix pg_wcswidth(), which has been entirely broken since about
8.2, but fortunately has been unused for the same length of time.

GetForeignColumnOptions provides some abstraction for accessing
column-specific FDW options, on a par with the access functions that were
already provided here for other FDW-related information.
Adjust file_fdw.c to use GetForeignColumnOptions instead of equivalent
hand-rolled code.
In addition, add some SGML documentation for the functions exported by
foreign.c that are meant for use by FDW authors.
(This is the fdw_helper portion of the proposed pgsql_fdw patch.)

In expanded auto mode, a lot of allocated memory was not cleaned up.
found by Coverity
|
|
Due to an apparent thinko, when printing a table in expanded mode
(\x), space would be allocated for 1 slot plus 1 byte per line,
instead of 1 slot per line plus 1 slot for the NULL terminator. When
the line count is small, reading or writing the terminator would
therefore access memory beyond what was allocated.
|
|
If a client encoding is specified as a connection parameter (or
environment variable), internal storage allocated for it would never
be freed.

Now that cache invalidation callbacks get only a hash value, and not a
tuple TID (per commits 632ae6829f7abda34e15082c91d9dfb3fc0f298b and
b5282aa893e565b7844f8237462cb843438cdd5e), the only way they can restrict
what they invalidate is to know what the hash values mean. setrefs.c was
doing this via a hard-wired assumption but that seems pretty grotty, and
it'll only get worse as more cases come up. So let's expose a calculation
function that takes the same parameters as SearchSysCache. Per complaint
from Marko Kreen.

Use-cases for this include custom log filtering rules and custom log
message transmission mechanisms (for instance, lossy log message
collection, which has been discussed several times recently).
As is our common practice for hooks, there's no regression test nor
user-facing documentation for this, though the author did exhibit a
sample module using the hook.

safe to call concurrently from multiple processes.

This simplifies the code a little bit. The new rule is that to update
XLogCtl->LogwrtResult, you must hold both WALWriteLock and info_lck, whereas
before we had two copies, one that was protected by WALWriteLock and another
protected by info_lck. The code that updates them was already holding both
locks, so merging the two is trivial.
The third copy, XLogCtl->Insert.LogwrtResult, was not totally redundant, it
was used in AdvanceXLInsertBuffer to update the backend-local copy, before
acquiring the info_lck to read the up-to-date value. But the value of that
seems dubious; at best it's saving one spinlock acquisition per completed
WAL page, which is not significant compared to all the other work involved.
And in practice, it's probably not saving even that much.
|
|
It's harmless to do full page writes even when not strictly necessary, so
when turning full_page_writes on, we can set the global flag first, and then
call XLogInsert. Likewise, when turning it off, we can write the WAL record
first, and then clear the flag. This way XLogInsert doesn't need any special
handling of the XLOG_FPW_CHANGE record type. XLogInsert is complicated
enough already, so anything we can keep away from there is a good thing.
Actually I don't think the atomicity of the shared memory flag matters,
anyway, because we only write the XLOG_FPW_CHANGE at the end of recovery,
when there are no concurrent WAL insertions going on. But might as well make
it safe, in case we allow changing full_page_writes on the fly in the
future.

The original API specification only allowed an FDW to create a single
access path, which doesn't seem like a terribly good idea in hindsight.
Instead, move the responsibility for building the Path node and calling
add_path() into the FDW's PlanForeignScan function. Now, it can do that
more than once if appropriate. There is no longer any need for the
transient FdwPlan struct, so get rid of that.

This patch installs significantly smarter penalty and picksplit functions
for ranges, making GiST indexes for them smaller and faster to search.
There is no on-disk format change, so no catversion bump, but you'd need
to REINDEX to get the benefits for any existing index.

The code in this function that tried to cope with a missing count histogram
was quite ineffective for anything except a perfectly flat distribution.
Furthermore, since we were already punting for missing MCELEM slot, it's
rather useless to sweat over missing DECHIST: there are no cases where
ANALYZE will create the first but not the second. So just simplify the
code by punting rather than pretending we can do something useful.

This patch improves selectivity estimation for the array <@, &&, and @>
(containment and overlaps) operators. It enables collection of statistics
about individual array element values by ANALYZE, and introduces
operator-specific estimators that use these stats. In addition,
ScalarArrayOpExpr constructs of the forms "const = ANY/ALL (array_column)"
and "const <> ANY/ALL (array_column)" are estimated by treating them as
variants of the containment operators.
Since we still collect scalar-style stats about the array values as a
whole, the pg_stats view is expanded to show both these stats and the
array-style stats in separate columns. This creates an incompatible change
in how stats for tsvector columns are displayed in pg_stats: the stats
about lexemes are now displayed in the array-related columns instead of the
original scalar-related columns.
There are a few loose ends here, notably that it'd be nice to be able to
suppress either the scalar-style stats or the array-element stats for
columns for which they're not useful. But the patch is in good enough
shape to commit for wider testing.

The only reason this didn't work before was that parserOpenTable()
rejects composite types. So use relation_openrv() directly and
manually do the errposition() setup that parserOpenTable() does.

gzFile is already a pointer, so code like
gzFile *handle = gzopen(...)
is wrong.
This used to pass silently because gzFile used to be defined as void*,
and you can assign a void* to a void**. But somewhere between zlib
versions 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.6, the definition of gzFile was changed to
struct gzFile_s *, and with that new definition this usage causes
compiler warnings.
So remove all those extra pointer decorations.
There is a related issue in pg_backup_archiver.h, where
FILE *FH; /* General purpose file handle */
is used throughout pg_dump as sometimes a real FILE* and sometimes a
gzFile handle, which also causes warnings now. This is not yet fixed
here, because it might need more code restructuring.

This fixes an oversight in commit 11cad29c91524aac1d0b61e0ea0357398ab79bf8,
which introduced MergeAppend plans. Before that happened, we never
particularly cared about the sort ordering of scans of inheritance child
relations, since appending their outputs together would destroy any
ordering anyway. But now it's important to be able to match child relation
sort orderings to those of the surrounding query. The original coding of
add_child_rel_equivalences skipped ec_has_const EquivalenceClasses, on the
originally-correct grounds that adding child expressions to them was
useless. The effect of this is that when a parent variable is equated to
a constant, we can't recognize that index columns on the equivalent child
variables are not sort-significant; that is, we can't recognize that a
child index on, say, (x, y) is able to generate output in "ORDER BY y"
order when there is a clause "WHERE x = constant". Adding child
expressions to the (x, constant) EquivalenceClass fixes this, without any
downside that I can see other than a few more planner cycles expended on
such queries.
Per recent gripe from Robert McGehee. Back-patch to 9.1 where MergeAppend
was introduced.

Previously it was thought that it's impossible as the code stands, because
insertions create buffers as tuples are cascaded downwards, and index
split also creaters buffers eagerly for all halves. But the example from
Jay Levitt demonstrates that it can happen, when the root page is split.
It's in fact OK if the buffer doesn't exist, so we just need to remove the
sanity check. In fact, we've been discussing the possibility of destroying
empty buffers to conserve memory, which would render the sanity check
completely useless anyway.

Running "psql -f -" used to print
psql:<stdin>:1: ERROR: blah
but that got broken between 8.4 and 9.0 (commit
b291c0fba83a1e93868e2f69c03be195d620f30c), and now it printed
psql:-:1: ERROR: blah
This reverts to the old behavior and cleans up some code that was left
dead or useless by the mentioned commit.

The only toastable column now is datacl, but we don't really support
long ACLs anyway. The TOAST table should have been removed when the
pg_db_role_setting catalog was introduced in commit
2eda8dfb52ed9962920282d8384da8bb4c22514d, but I forgot to do that.

A prepared transaction can get new conflicts in and out after preparing, so
we cannot rely on the in- and out-flags stored in the statefile at prepare-
time. As a quick fix, make the conservative assumption that after a restart,
all prepared transactions are considered to have both in- and out-conflicts.
That can lead to unnecessary rollbacks after a crash, but that shouldn't be
a big problem in practice; you don't want prepared transactions to hang
around for a long time anyway.

This makes it much more convenient to build tools for Postgres that are
separately compiled and require a matching CRC implementation.
To prevent multiple copies of the CRC polynomial tables being introduced
into the postgres binaries, they are now included in the static library
libpgport that is mainly meant for replacement system functions. That
seems like a bit of a kludge, but there's no better place.
This cleans up building of the tools pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog,
which previously had to build their own copies of pg_crc.o.
In the future, external programs that need access to the CRC tables can
include the tables directly from the new header file pg_crc_tables.h.

We don't need to constrain the other side of an indexable join clause to
not be below an outer join; an example here is
SELECT FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.a = t2.b LEFT JOIN t3 ON t2.c = t3.d;
We can consider an inner indexscan on t3.d using c = d as indexqual, even
though t2.c is potentially nulled by a previous outer join. The comparable
logic in orindxpath.c has always worked that way, but I was being overly
cautious here.
|
|
This only produces warnings under -Wcast-qual, but it's more correct
and consistent in any case.

psql backslash commands that deal with file or directory names require
quotes around those that have spaces, single quotes, or backslashes.
However, tab-completing such names does not provide said quotes, and is
thus almost useless with them.
This patch fixes the problem by having a wrapper function around
rl_filename_completion_function that dequotes on input and quotes on
output. This eases dealing with such names.

We already skip rewriting the table in these cases, but we still force a
whole table scan to validate the data. This can be skipped, and thus
we can make the whole ALTER TABLE operation just do some catalog touches
instead of scanning the table, when these two conditions hold:
(a) Old and new pg_constraint.conpfeqop match exactly. This is actually
stronger than needed; we could loosen things by way of operator
families, but it'd require a lot more effort.
(b) The functions, if any, implementing a cast from the foreign type to
the primary opcintype are the same. For this purpose, we can consider a
binary coercion equivalent to an exact type match. When the opcintype
is polymorphic, require that the old and new foreign types match
exactly. (Since ri_triggers.c does use the executor, the stronger check
for polymorphic types is no mere future-proofing. However, no core type
exercises its necessity.)

In commit 4016bdef8aded77b4903c457050622a5a1815c16 I fixed a bunch of
ginxlog.c bugs having to do with not handling XLogReadBuffer failures
correctly. However, in ginRedoUpdateMetapage and ginRedoDeleteListPages,
I unaccountably thought that failure to read the metapage would be
impossible and just put in an elog(PANIC) call. This is of course wrong:
failure is exactly what will happen if the index got dropped (or rebuilt)
between creation of the WAL record and the crash we're trying to recover
from. I believe this explains Nicholas Wilson's recent report of these
errors getting reached.
Also, fix memory leak in forgetIncompleteSplit. This wasn't of much
concern when the code was written, but in a long-running standby server
page split records could be expected to accumulate indefinitely.
Back-patch to 8.4 --- before that, GIN didn't have a metapage.
