2007-08-27Fix a couple of misbehaviors rooted in the fact that the default creationTom Lane
namespace isn't necessarily first in the search path (there could be implicit schemas ahead of it). Examples are test=# set search_path TO s1; test=# create view pg_timezone_names as select * from pg_timezone_names(); ERROR: "pg_timezone_names" is already a view test=# create table pg_class (f1 int primary key); ERROR: permission denied: "pg_class" is a system catalog You'd expect these commands to create the requested objects in s1, since names beginning with pg_ aren't supposed to be reserved anymore. What is happening is that we create the requested base table and then execute additional commands (here, CREATE RULE or CREATE INDEX), and that code is passed the same RangeVar that was in the original command. Since that RangeVar has schemaname = NULL, the secondary commands think they should do a path search, and that means they find system catalogs that are implicitly in front of s1 in the search path. This is perilously close to being a security hole: if the secondary command failed to apply a permission check then it'd be possible for unprivileged users to make schema modifications to system catalogs. But as far as I can find, there is no code path in which a check doesn't occur. Which makes it just a weird corner-case bug for people who are silly enough to want to name their tables the same as a system catalog. The relevant code has changed quite a bit since 8.2, which means this patch wouldn't work as-is in the back branches. Since it's a corner case no one has reported from the field, I'm not going to bother trying to back-patch.
2007-08-27Remove the 'not in' operator (!!=). This was a hangover from BerkeleyTom Lane
days that was obsolete the moment we had IN (SELECT ...) capability. It's arguably a security hole since it applied no permissions check to the table it searched, and since it was never documented anywhere, removing it seems more appropriate than fixing it.
2007-08-27Restrict pg_relation_size to relation owner, pg_database_size to DB owner,Tom Lane
and pg_tablespace_size to superusers. Perhaps we could weaken the first case to just require SELECT privilege, but that doesn't work for the other cases, so use ownership as the common concept.
2007-08-27Make currtid() functions require SELECT privileges on the target table.Tom Lane
While it's not clear that TID linkage info is of any great use to a nefarious user, it's certainly unexpected that these functions wouldn't insist on read privileges.
2007-08-26Make ARRAY(SELECT ...) return an empty array, rather than a NULL, when theTom Lane
sub-select returns zero rows. Per complaint from Jens Schicke. Since this is more in the nature of a definition change than a bug, not back-patched.
2007-08-25Adjust with-system-tzdata patch to not attempt to install a symlink,Tom Lane
but just hardwire the specified timezone database path into the executable. Per discussion, this avoids some packaging disadvantages of using a symlink.
2007-08-25Fix brain fade in DefineIndex(): it was continuing to access the table'sTom Lane
relcache entry after having heap_close'd it. This could lead to misbehavior if a relcache flush wiped out the cache entry meanwhile. In 8.2 there is a very real risk of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY using the wrong relid for locking and waiting purposes. I think the bug is only cosmetic in 8.0 and 8.1, because their transgression is limited to using RelationGetRelationName(rel) in an ereport message immediately after heap_close, and there's no way (except with special debugging options) for a cache flush to occur in that interval. Not quite sure that it's cosmetic in 7.4, but seems best to patch anyway. Found by trying to run the regression tests with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled. Maybe we should try to do that on a regular basis --- it's awfully slow, but perhaps some fast buildfarm machine could do it once in awhile.
2007-08-25Simplify implementation of ts_debug() function --- use a join insteadTom Lane
of redundant sub-selects. initdb not forced, since this is just a cosmetic change, but the new code won't show up till you do one.
2007-08-25Fix synonym-dict breakage introduced in last patch :-(.Tom Lane
Minor other cleanups.
2007-08-25Rename built-in Snowball stemmer dictionaries to be english_stem,Tom Lane
russian_stem, etc. Per discussion.
2007-08-25Cleanup for some problems in tsearch patch:Tom Lane
- ispell initialization crashed on empty dictionary file - ispell initialization crashed on affix file with prefixes but no suffixes - stop words file was run through pg_verify_mbstr, with database encoding, but it's supposed to be UTF-8; similar bug for synonym files - bunch of comments added, typos fixed, and other cleanup Introduced consistent encoding checking/conversion of data read from tsearch configuration files, by doing this in a single t_readline() subroutine (replacing direct usages of fgets). Cleaned up API for readstopwords too. Heikki Linnakangas
2007-08-23Reduce memory requirements for writing CSVlogs, so it will work with aboutAndrew Dunstan
the same amount of memory in ErrorContext as standard logs.
2007-08-23unbreak ECPG tests for VPATH builds.Andrew Dunstan
2007-08-22Suppress testing the options of CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY duringTom Lane
initdb. We should create all the standard dictionaries even though some of them may not work in template1's encoding. Per Teodor.
2007-08-22More cleaning up and removed some duplicates.Michael Meskes
2007-08-22Propagate Magnus' fix for Windows snowball build into Makefile.cygwin.Tom Lane
2007-08-22Fix VPATH-build problem in new tsearch makefile, per Chad Wagner.Tom Lane
2007-08-22Remove option to change parser of an existing text search configuration.Tom Lane
This prevents needing to do complex and poorly-defined updates of the mapping table if the new parser has different token types than the old. Per discussion.
2007-08-22Whoops, missed updating dsynonym_init for new dictionary parameter method.Tom Lane
2007-08-22Make \dFt and \dFt+ do something different --- omitting the functionTom Lane
names in the former case seems more consistent with the behavior of other \dF commands.
2007-08-22Simplify the syntax of CREATE/ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY by treating theTom Lane
init options of the template as top-level options in the syntax. This also makes ALTER a bit easier to use, since options can be replaced individually. I also made these statements verify that the tmplinit method will accept the new settings before they get stored; in the original coding you didn't find out about mistakes until the dictionary got invoked. Under the hood, init methods now get options as a List of DefElem instead of a raw text string --- that lets tsearch use existing options-pushing code instead of duplicating functionality.
2007-08-21Simplify CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION by eliminating the separateTom Lane
'with map' parameter; as things now stand there's really not much point in specifying a config-to-copy if you don't copy its map. Also, use COPY instead of TEMPLATE as the key word for a config-to-copy, so as to avoid confusion with text search templates. Per discussion; the just-committed reference page for the command already describes it this way.
2007-08-21Exclude snowball/libstemmer/ files from the set processed by pgindent.Tom Lane
There's not much point in prettifying machine-generated code, and it seems best to keep these files exactly like upstream anyway. Also add some notes about why various files are excluded.
2007-08-21Uppercase keywords in regression tsearch test scripts.Bruce Momjian
2007-08-21Avoid using TEXT as a Bison symbol, since this provokes warnings onTom Lane
Windows builds. In passing, fix an obsolete comment, per gripe from Greg Stark.
2007-08-21Build snowball DLL for tsearch-in-core.Magnus Hagander
(Still needs to build the .sql output files, but this handles the C part of the build)
2007-08-21Don't define BUILDING_DLL for snowball lib. Should fix build problemsMagnus Hagander
on mingw and probably cygwin.
2007-08-21Remove extraneous semicolon --- buildfarm member bear, for one,Tom Lane
objects to it.
2007-08-21Fix cash_mul_int4 and cash_div_int4 for overenthusiastic substitutionTom Lane
of int64 for int32. Per reports from Merlin Moncure and Andrew Chernow.
2007-08-21Fix money type's send/receive functions to conform to recent wideningTom Lane
of the datatype to int64. Per Andrew Chernow.
2007-08-21Fix potential access-off-the-end-of-memory in varbit_out(): it fetched theTom Lane
byte after the last full byte of the bit array, regardless of whether that byte was part of the valid data or not. Found by buildfarm testing. Thanks to Stefan Kaltenbrunner for nailing down the cause.
2007-08-21Suppress uninitialized-variable warning.Tom Lane
2007-08-21Fix a small 64-bit problem in tsearch patch.Tom Lane
2007-08-21Tsearch2 functionality migrates to core. The bulk of this work is byTom Lane
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing, so anything that's broken is probably my fault. Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can get some portability testing done.
2007-08-20Add configure option --with-system-tzdata to use operating system time zonePeter Eisentraut
database.
2007-08-19Provide for logfiles in machine readable CSV format. In consequence, renameAndrew Dunstan
redirect_stderr to logging_collector. Original patch from Arul Shaji, subsequently modified by Greg Smith, and then heavily modified by me.
2007-08-15Arrange to cache a ResultRelInfo in the executor's EState for relations thatTom Lane
are not one of the query's defined result relations, but nonetheless have triggers fired against them while the query is active. This was formerly impossible but can now occur because of my recent patch to fix the firing order for RI triggers. Caching a ResultRelInfo avoids duplicating work by repeatedly opening and closing the same relation, and also allows EXPLAIN ANALYZE to "see" and report on these extra triggers. Use the same mechanism to cache open relations when firing deferred triggers at transaction shutdown; this replaces the former one-element-cache strategy used in that case, and should improve performance a bit when there are deferred triggers on a number of relations.
2007-08-15Repair problems occurring when multiple RI updates have to be done to the sameTom Lane
row within one query: we were firing check triggers before all the updates were done, leading to bogus failures. Fix by making the triggers queued by an RI update go at the end of the outer query's trigger event list, thereby effectively making the processing "breadth-first". This was indeed how it worked pre-8.0, so the bug does not occur in the 7.x branches. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
2007-08-14Fix oversight in async-commit patch: there were some places in heapam.cTom Lane
that still thought they could set HEAP_XMAX_COMMITTED immediately after seeing the other transaction commit. Make them use the same logic as tqual.c does to determine if the hint bit can be set yet.
2007-08-14It seems we simply expected the same output for failure and success.Michael Meskes

2007-08-14- Finished major rewrite to use new protocol versionMichael Meskes
- Really prepare statements - Added more regression tests - Added auto-prepare mode - Use '$n' for positional variables, '?' is still possible via ecpg option - Cleaned up the sources a little bit
2007-08-13TEMPORARILY make synchronous_commit default to OFF, so that we can get moreTom Lane
thorough testing of async-commit mode from the buildfarm. This patch MUST get reverted before 8.3 release!
2007-08-13Fix two bugs induced in VACUUM FULL by async-commit patch.Tom Lane
First, we cannot assume that XLogAsyncCommitFlush guarantees hint bits will be settable, because clog.c's inexact LSN bookkeeping results in windows where a previously flushed transaction is considered unhintable because it shares an LSN slot with a later unflushed transaction. But repair_frag requires XMIN_COMMITTED to be correct so that it can distinguish tuples moved by the current vacuum. Since not being able to set the bit is an uncommon corner case, the most practical way of dealing with it seems to be to abandon shrinking (ie, don't invoke repair_frag) when we find a non-dead tuple whose XMIN_COMMITTED bit couldn't be set. Second, it is possible for the same reason that a RECENTLY_DEAD tuple does not get its XMAX_COMMITTED bit set during scan_heap. But by the time repair_frag examines the tuple it might be possible to set the bit. We therefore must take buffer content lock when calling HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum a second time, else we can get an Assert failure in SetBufferCommitInfoNeedsSave. This latter bug is latent in existing releases, but I think it cannot actually occur without async commit, since the first HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum call should always have set the bit. So I'm not going to back-patch it. In passing, reduce the existing "cannot shrink relation" messages from NOTICE to LOG level. The new message must be no higher than LOG if we don't want unpredictable regression test failures, and consistency seems like a good idea. Also arrange that only one such message is reported per VACUUM FULL; in typical scenarios you could get spammed with many such messages, which seems a bit useless.
2007-08-12Remove an "optimization" I installed in 2001, to make repalloc() attempt toTom Lane
enlarge the memory chunk in-place when it was feasible to do so. This turns out to not work well at all for scenarios involving repeated cycles of palloc/repalloc/pfree: the eventually freed chunks go into the wrong freelist for the next initial palloc request, and so we consume memory indefinitely. While that could be defended against, the number of cases where the optimization can still be applied drops significantly, and adjusting the initial sizes of StringInfo buffers makes it drop to almost nothing. Seems better to just remove the extra complexity. Per recent discussion and testing.
2007-08-12Increase the initial size of StringInfo buffers to 1024 bytes (from 256);Tom Lane
likewise increase the initial size of the scanner's literal buffer to 1024 (from 128). Instrumentation of the regression tests suggests that this saves a useful amount of repalloc() traffic --- the number of calls occurring during one set of tests drops from about 6900 to about 3900. The old sizes were chosen in the late 90's with an eye to machines much smaller than are common today.
2007-08-11Avoid memory leakage across successive calls of regexp_matches() orTom Lane
regexp_split_to_table() within a single query. This is only a partial solution, as it turns out that with enough matches per string these functions can also tickle a repalloc() misbehavior. But fixing that is a topic for a separate patch.
