Patch contributed by Chuck McDevitt
2009-05-02Install some simple defenses in postmaster startup to help ensure a usefulTom Lane
error message if the installation directory layout is messed up (or at least, something more useful than the behavior exhibited in bug #4787). During postmaster startup, check that get_pkglib_path resolves as a readable directory; and if ParseTzFile() fails to open the expected timezone abbreviation file, check the possibility that the directory is missing rather than just the specified file. In case of either failure, issue a hint suggesting that the installation is broken. These two checks cover the lib/ and share/ trees of a full installation, which should take care of most scenarios where a sysadmin decides to get cute.
2009-05-02We don't need major_release_split any more.Tom Lane
2009-05-02Fix plpgsql's EXIT so that an EXIT without a label only matches a loop,Tom Lane
never a BEGIN block. This is required for Oracle compatibility and is also plainly stated to be the behavior by our original documentation (up until 8.1, in which the docs were adjusted to match the code's behavior; but actually the old docs said the correct thing and the code was wrong). Not back-patched because this introduces an incompatibility that could break working applications. Requires release note.
2009-05-01Fix a couple of cases where the plpgsql grammar looked for T_WORD andTom Lane
failed to consider the possibility that it would get T_SCALAR, T_RECORD, or T_ROW instead because the word happens to match a plpgsql variable name. In particular, give "duplicate declaration" rather than generic "syntax error" if the same identifier is declared twice in the same block, as per my recent complaint. Also behave more sanely when decl_aliasitem or proc_condition or opt_lblname is coincidentally not T_WORD. Refactor the related productions a bit to reduce duplication. This is a longstanding bug, but it doesn't seem critical enough to back-patch.
2009-05-01When checking for datetime field overflow, we should allow a fractional-secondTom Lane
part that rounds up to exactly 1.0 second. The previous coding rejected input like "00:12:57.9999999999999999999999999999", with the exact number of nines needed to cause failure varying depending on float-timestamp option and possibly on platform. Obviously this should round up to the next integral second, if we don't have enough precision to distinguish the value from that. Per bug #4789 from Robert Kruus. In passing, fix a missed check for fractional seconds in one copy of the "is it greater than 24:00:00" code. Broken all the way back, so patch all the way back.
2009-04-30Clean up check_keywords.pl script, making it 'strict' and removing a fewHeikki Linnakangas
leftover unused variables. Laurent Laborde
2009-04-29Add check_keyword.pl script to perform some basic sanity checks to theHeikki Linnakangas
keyword lists in gram.y and kwlist.h. It checks that all lists are in alphabetical order, and that all keywords present in gram.y are listed in kwlist.h in the right category, and that all keywords in kwlist.h are also in gram.y. What's still missing is to check that all keywords defined with "%token <keyword>" in gram.y are present in one of the keyword lists in gram.y.
2009-04-28Improve pull_up_subqueries logic so that it doesn't insert unnecessaryTom Lane
PlaceHolderVar nodes in join quals appearing in or below the lowest outer join that could null the subquery being pulled up. This improves the planner's ability to recognize constant join quals, and probably helps with detection of common sort keys (equivalence classes) as well.
2009-04-28Move SERVER to the right place in the alphabetically sorted keyword list.Heikki Linnakangas
2009-04-28In VACUUM, FREEZE must be before ANALYZE; fix this in vacuumdb. DocsBruce Momjian
are already correct.
2009-04-26Remove Windows-specific definition of S_ISDIR(). This should not be here;Tom Lane
if there are any Windows configurations where port/win32.h fails to provide the macro, it should be fixed in the latter file not here.
2009-04-25Fix the handling of sub-SELECTs appearing in the arguments of an outer-levelTom Lane
aggregate function. By definition, such a sub-SELECT cannot reference any variables of query levels between itself and the aggregate's semantic level (else the aggregate would've been assigned to that lower level instead). So the correct, most efficient implementation is to treat the sub-SELECT as being a sub-select of that outer query level, not the level the aggregate syntactically appears in. Not doing so also confuses the heck out of our parameter-passing logic, as illustrated in bug report from Daniel Grace. Fortunately, we were already copying the whole Aggref expression up to the outer query level, so all that's needed is to delay SS_process_sublinks processing of the sub-SELECT until control returns to the outer level. This has been broken since we introduced spec-compliant treatment of outer aggregates in 7.4; so patch all the way back.
2009-04-24Fix some more 'variable may be used uninitialized' warnings from gcc 4.4.Tom Lane
2009-04-24Remove sslverify parameter again, replacing it with two new sslmode values:Magnus Hagander
"verify-ca" and "verify-full". Since "prefer" remains the default, this will make certificate validation off by default, which should lead to less upgrade issues.
2009-04-24Move gettext encoding names into encnames.c, so we only have one place to ↵Magnus Hagander
update. Per discussion.
2009-04-23Suppress some 'variable may be used uninitialized' warnings from gcc 4.4.Tom Lane
2009-04-23Don't use the result of strcmp as if it were a boolean.Tom Lane
A service of your local coding style police.
2009-04-23varstr_cmp and any comparison function that piggybacks on it can returnHeikki Linnakangas
any negative or positive number, not just -1 or 1. Fix comment on varstr_cmp and citext test case accordingly. As pointed out by Zdenek Kotala, and buildfarm member gothic moth.
2009-04-23Change the default value of max_prepared_transactions to zero, and addTom Lane
documentation warnings against setting it nonzero unless active use of prepared transactions is intended and a suitable transaction manager has been installed. This should help to prevent the type of scenario we've seen several times now where a prepared transaction is forgotten and eventually causes severe maintenance problems (or even anti-wraparound shutdown). The only real reason we had the default be nonzero in the first place was to support regression testing of the feature. To still be able to do that, tweak pg_regress to force a nonzero value during "make check". Since we cannot force a nonzero value in "make installcheck", add a variant regression test "expected" file that shows the results that will be obtained when max_prepared_transactions is zero. Also, extend the HINT messages for transaction wraparound warnings to mention the possibility that old prepared transactions are causing the problem. All per today's discussion.
2009-04-22After archive recovery, mark the last WAL segment from the parent timelineHeikki Linnakangas
ready for archival. It was marked at the next checkpoint anyway, but waiting for the next checkpoint is an unnecessary delay. Fujii Masao
2009-04-22Use brackets in psql \df \? help.Bruce Momjian
2009-04-21Remove the long-obsolete homebrew dl*() functions for AIX, in favor of justTom Lane
using the system functions all the time. (These files are now just copies of the osf.* files.) The homebrew functions were not getting used anyway on AIX versions that have dlopen(), that is 4.3 and up, so they are not needed on any AIX that is even remotely supported by the vendor anymore. We'd have probably left them here anyway, except some questions were raised about the copyright.

Hiroshi Inoue, with minor modifications by me
2009-04-19Assorted portability fixes for Borland C, from Pavel Golub.Tom Lane
2009-04-19Rethink the idea of having plpgsql depend on parser/gram.h. Aside from theTom Lane
fact that this is breaking the MSVC build, it's probably not really a good idea to expand the dependencies of gram.h any further than the core parser; for instance the value of SCONST might depend on which bison version you'd built with. Better to expose an additional call point in parser.c, so move what I had put into pl_funcs.c into parser.c. Also PGDLLIMPORT'ify the reference to standard_conforming_strings, per buildfarm results.
2009-04-19Fix de-escaping checks so that we will reject \000 as well as other invalidlyTom Lane
encoded sequences. Per discussion of a couple of days ago.
2009-04-19Fix estimate_num_groups() to not fail on PlaceHolderVars, per report fromTom Lane
Stefan Kaltenbrunner. The most reasonable behavior (at least for the near term) seems to be to ignore the PlaceHolderVar and examine its argument instead. In support of this, change the API of pull_var_clause() to allow callers to request recursion into PlaceHolderVars. Currently estimate_num_groups() is the only customer for that behavior, but where there's one there may be others.
2009-04-19Revise plpgsql's scanner to process comments and string literals in a wayTom Lane
more nearly matching the core SQL scanner. The user-visible effects are: * Block comments (slash-star comments) now nest, as per SQL spec. * In standard_conforming_strings mode, backslash as the last character of a non-E string literal is now correctly taken as an ordinary character; formerly it was misinterpreted as escaping the ending quote. (Since the string also had to pass through the core scanner, this invariably led to syntax errors.) * Formerly, backslashes in the format string of RAISE were always treated as quoting the next character, regardless of mode. Now, they are ordinary characters with standard_conforming_strings on, while with it off, they introduce the same set of escapes as in the core SQL scanner. Also, escape_string_warning is now effective for RAISE format strings. These changes make RAISE format strings work just like any other string literal. This is implemented by copying and pasting a lot of logic from the core scanner. It would be a good idea to look into getting rid of plpgsql's scanner entirely in favor of using the core scanner. However, that involves more change than I can justify making during beta --- in particular, the core scanner would have to become re-entrant. In passing, remove the kluge that made the plpgsql scanner emit T_FUNCTION or T_TRIGGER as a made-up first token. That presumably had some value once upon a time, but now it's just useless complication for both the scanner and the grammar.
2009-04-17Bump disable_cost up from 1e8 to 1e10, per gripe from Kris Jurka.Tom Lane
2009-04-16Fix planner to restore its previous level of intelligence about pushingTom Lane
constants through full joins, as in select * from tenk1 a full join tenk1 b using (unique1) where unique1 = 42; which should generate a fairly cheap plan where we apply the constraint unique1 = 42 in each relation scan. This had been broken by my patch of 2008-06-27, which is now reverted in favor of a more invasive but hopefully less incorrect approach. That patch was meant to prevent incorrect extraction of OR'd indexclauses from OR conditions above an outer join. To do that correctly we need more information than the outerjoin_delay flag can provide, so add a nullable_relids field to RestrictInfo that records exactly which relations are nulled by outer joins that are underneath a particular qual clause. A side benefit is that we can make the test in create_or_index_quals more specific: it is now smart enough to extract an OR'd indexclause into the outer side of an outer join, even though it must not do so in the inner side. The old coding couldn't distinguish these cases so it could not do either.
2009-04-16Fix the regression test error message for array_fill, too.Alvaro Herrera
Per note from Andrew Dunstan.
2009-04-15Substitute extraneous underscores with spaces.Alvaro Herrera
2009-04-15Add missing gettext calls around some strings. Also remove quotes around theAlvaro Herrera
%s that they expand to, per comment from Tom.
2009-04-15Add missing periods.Alvaro Herrera
2009-04-14Fix broken {xufailed} production that made HEAD fail onTom Lane
select u&42 from table-with-a-u-column; Also fix missing SET_YYLLOC() in the {dolqfailed} production that I suppose this was based on. The latter is a pre-existing bug, but the only effect is to misplace the error cursor by one token, so probably not worth backpatching.
2009-04-14Add libpq error message text on how to handle missing root.crt file.Bruce Momjian

previous patch. Per note from Tom.

2009-04-12Fix logic to detect conflicts or blocks involving exclusive locks in ↵Andrew Dunstan
parallel restore items. If a currently running item needs an exclusive lock on any item that the candidate items needs any sort of lock on, or vice versa, then the candidate item is not allowed to run now, and must wait till later.
2009-04-11Fix pg_dumpall so that when --clean is specified, it drops roles andTom Lane
tablespaces in an order that has some chance of working. Per a complaint from Kevin Bailey. This is a pre-existing bug, but given the lack of prior complaints I'm not sure it's worth back-patching. In most cases failure of the DROP commands wouldn't be that important anyway. In passing, fix syntax errors in dumpCreateDB()'s queries for old servers; these were apparently introduced in recent binary_upgrade patch.
