2010-11-02Ensure an index that uses a whole-row Var still depends on its table.Tom Lane
We failed to record any dependency on the underlying table for an index declared like "create index i on t (foo(t.*))". This would create trouble if the table were dropped without previously dropping the index. To fix, simplify some overly-cute code in index_create(), accepting the possibility that sometimes the whole-table dependency will be redundant. Also document this hazard in dependency.c. Per report from Kevin Grittner. In passing, prevent a core dump in pg_get_indexdef() if the index's table can't be found. I came across this while experimenting with Kevin's example. Not sure it's a real issue when the catalogs aren't corrupt, but might as well be cautious. Back-patch to all supported versions.
2010-11-02Some cleanup in ecpg code:Michael Meskes
Use bool as type for booleans instead of int. Do not implicitely cast size_t to int. Make the compiler stop complaining about unused variables by adding an empty statement.
2010-11-02Bootstrap WAL to begin at segment logid=0 logseg=1 (000000010000000000000001)Heikki Linnakangas
rather than 0/0, so that we can safely use 0/0 as an invalid value. This is a more future-proof fix for the corner-case bug in streaming replication that was fixed yesterday. We had a similar corner-case bug with log/seg 0/0 back in February as well. Avoiding 0/0 as a valid value should prevent bugs like that in the future. Per Tom Lane's idea. Back-patch to 9.0. Since this only affects bootstrapping, it makes no difference to existing installations. We don't need to worry about the bug in existing installations, because if you've managed to get past the initial base backup already, you won't hit the bug in the future either.
2010-11-01Avoid using a local FunctionCallInfoData struct in ExecMakeFunctionResultTom Lane
and related routines. We already had a redundant FunctionCallInfoData struct in FuncExprState, but were using that copy only in set-returning-function cases, to avoid keeping function evaluation state in the expression tree for the benefit of plpgsql's "simple expression" logic. But of course that didn't work anyway. Given the recent fixes in plpgsql there is no need to have two separate behaviors here. Getting rid of the local FunctionCallInfoData structs should make things a little faster (because we don't need to do InitFunctionCallInfoData each time), and it also makes for a noticeable reduction in stack space consumption during recursive calls.
2010-11-01Fix corner-case bug in tracking of latest removed WAL segment duringHeikki Linnakangas
streaming replication. We used log/seg 0/0 to indicate that no WAL segments have been removed since startup, but 0/0 is a valid value for the very first WAL segment after initdb. To make that disambiguous, store (latest removed WAL segment + 1) in the global variable. Per report from Matt Chesler, also reproduced by Greg Smith.
2010-10-31Revert removal of trigger flag from plperl function hash key.REL9_1_ALPHA2Tom Lane
As noted by Jan Urbanski, this flag is in fact needed to ensure that the function's input/result conversion functions are set up as expected. Add a regression test to discourage anyone from making same mistake in future.
2010-10-30Provide hashing support for arrays.Tom Lane
The core of this patch is hash_array() and associated typcache infrastructure, which works just about exactly like the existing support for array comparison. In addition I did some work to ensure that the planner won't think that an array type is hashable unless its element type is hashable, and similarly for sorting. This includes adding a datatype parameter to op_hashjoinable and op_mergejoinable, and adding an explicit "hashable" flag to SortGroupClause. The lack of a cross-check on the element type was a pre-existing bug in mergejoin support --- but it didn't matter so much before, because if you couldn't sort the element type there wasn't any good alternative to failing anyhow. Now that we have the alternative of hashing the array type, there are cases where we can avoid a failure by being picky at the planner stage, so it's time to be picky. The issue of exactly how to combine the per-element hash values to produce an array hash is still open for discussion, but the rest of this is pretty solid, so I'll commit it as-is.
2010-10-29Fix comparisons of pointers with zero to compare with NULL instead.Tom Lane
Per C standard, these are semantically the same thing; but saying NULL when you mean NULL is good for readability. Marti Raudsepp, per results of INRIA's Coccinelle.
2010-10-29Oops, missed one fix for EquivalenceClass rearrangement.Tom Lane
Now that we're expecting a mergeclause's left_ec/right_ec to persist from the initial assignments, we can't just blithely zero these out when transforming such a clause in adjust_appendrel_attrs. But really it should be okay to keep the parent's values, since a child table's derived Var ought to be equivalent to the parent Var for all EquivalenceClass purposes. (Indeed, I'm wondering whether we couldn't find a way to dispense with add_child_rel_equivalences altogether. But this is wrong in any case.)
2010-10-29Avoid creation of useless EquivalenceClasses during planning.Tom Lane
Zoltan Boszormenyi exhibited a test case in which planning time was dominated by construction of EquivalenceClasses and PathKeys that had no actual relevance to the query (and in fact got discarded immediately). This happened because we generated PathKeys describing the sort ordering of every index on every table in the query, and only after that checked to see if the sort ordering was relevant. The EC/PK construction code is O(N^2) in the number of ECs, which is all right for the intended number of such objects, but it gets out of hand if there are ECs for lots of irrelevant indexes. To fix, twiddle the handling of mergeclauses a little bit to ensure that every interesting EC is created before we begin path generation. (This doesn't cost anything --- in fact I think it's a bit cheaper than before --- since we always eventually created those ECs anyway.) Then, if an index column can't be found in any pre-existing EC, we know that that sort ordering is irrelevant for the query. Instead of creating a useless EC, we can just not build a pathkey for the index column in the first place. The index will still be considered if it's useful for non-order-related reasons, but we will think of its output as unsorted.
2010-10-29Give a more specific error message if you try to COMMIT, ROLLBACK or COPYHeikki Linnakangas
FROM STDIN in PL/pgSQL. We alread did this for dynamic EXECUTE statements, ie. "EXECUTE 'COMMIT'", but not otherwise.

2010-10-28Save a few cycles in plpgsql simple-expression initialization.Tom Lane
Instead of using ExecPrepareExpr, call ExecInitExpr. The net change here is that we don't apply expression_planner() to the expression tree. There is no need to do so, because that tree is extracted from a fully planned plancache entry, so all the needed work is already done. This reduces the setup costs by about a factor of 2 according to some simple tests. Oversight noted while fooling around with the simple-expression code for previous fix.
2010-10-28Fix plpgsql's handling of "simple" expression evaluation.Tom Lane
In general, expression execution state trees aren't re-entrantly usable, since functions can store private state information in them. For efficiency reasons, plpgsql tries to cache and reuse state trees for "simple" expressions. It can get away with that most of the time, but it can fail if the state tree is dirty from a previous failed execution (as in an example from Alvaro) or is being used recursively (as noted by me). Fix by tracking whether a state tree is in use, and falling back to the "non-simple" code path if so. This results in a pretty considerable speed hit when the non-simple path is taken, but the available alternatives seem even more unpleasant because they add overhead in the simple path. Per idea from Heikki. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2010-10-27Previous patch had no detectable virtue other than being a one-liner.Tom Lane
Try to make the code look self-consistent again, so it doesn't confuse future developers.

2010-10-26Fix up some oversights in psql's Unicode-escape support.Tom Lane
Original patch failed to include new exclusive states in a switch that needed to include them; and also was guilty of very fuzzy thinking about how to handle error cases. Per bug #5729 from Alan Choi.

KaiGai Kohei, with minor cleanup of the comments by me.
2010-10-26Minor fixups for psql's process_file() function.Robert Haas
- Avoid closing stdin, since we didn't open it. Previously multiple inclusions of stdin would be terminated with a single quit, now a separate quit is needed for each invocation. Previous behavior also accessed stdin after it was fclose()d, which is undefined behavior per ANSI C. - Properly restore pset.inputfile, since the caller expects to be able to free that memory.

2010-10-25Refactor typenameTypeId()Peter Eisentraut
Split the old typenameTypeId() into two functions: A new typenameTypeId() that returns only a type OID, and typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and typmod. This isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.
2010-10-25Fix overly-enthusiastic Assert in printing of Param reference expressions.Tom Lane
A NestLoopParam's value can only be a Var or Aggref, but this isn't the case in general for SubPlan parameters, so print_parameter_expr had better be prepared to cope. Brain fade in my recent patch to print the referenced expression instead of just printing $N for PARAM_EXEC Params. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
2010-10-25Fix inline_set_returning_function() to preserve the invalItems list properly.Tom Lane
This avoids a possible crash when inlining a SRF whose argument list contains a reference to an inline-able user function. The crash is quite reproducible with CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY enabled, but would be less certain in a production build. Problem introduced in 9.0 by the named-arguments patch, which requires invoking eval_const_expressions() before we can try to inline a SRF. Per report from Brendan Jurd.

2010-10-24Support suffix matching of host names in pg_hba.confPeter Eisentraut
A name starting with a dot can be used to match a suffix of the actual host name (e.g., .example.com matches foo.example.com).
2010-10-22Add semicolon, missed in previous patch. And update the keyword list inHeikki Linnakangas
the docs to reflect that OFF is now unreserved. Spotted by Tom Lane.
2010-10-22Make OFF keyword unreserved. It's not hard to imagine wanting to use 'off'Heikki Linnakangas
as a variable or column name, and it's not reserved in recent versions of the SQL spec either. This became particularly annoying in 9.0, before that PL/pgSQL replaced variable names in queries with parameter markers, so it was possible to use OFF and many other backend parser keywords as variable names. Because of that, backpatch to 9.0.
2010-10-21Improve handling of domains over arrays.Tom Lane
This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type. In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type, *not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied. If we're intending to store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the domain type so that constraints are re-checked. For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints. For the moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency. To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type; the typelem will always be zero instead. In those places where it's really okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type. catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents. Per bug #5717 from Richard Huxton and subsequent discussion.
2010-10-20Remove obsolete comment, per Josh Kupershmidt.Tom Lane
2010-10-20Don't try to fetch database name when SetTransactionIdLimit() is executedTom Lane
outside a transaction. This repairs brain fade in my patch of 2009-08-30: the reason we had been storing oldest-database name, not OID, in ShmemVariableCache was of course to avoid having to do a catalog lookup at times when it might be unsafe. This error explains why Aleksandr Dushein is having trouble getting out of an XID wraparound state in bug #5718, though not how he got into that state in the first place. I suspect pg_upgrade is at fault there.
2010-10-20Remove AtStart_Cache() call in CommandCounterIncrement().Alvaro Herrera
This call was present in the aboriginal code from Berkeley, and has never been touched; it may very well be that it was there to mask effects of bugs in other places and it may no longer be necessary. The removal has been foreseen in a code comment since 2007; this seems to be a good time to test this hypothesis.
2010-10-20Fix ecpg test building process to not generate *.dSYM junk on Macs.Tom Lane
The trick is to not try to build executables directly from .c files, but to always build the intermediate .o files. For obscure reasons, Darwin's version of gcc will leave debug cruft behind in the first case but not the second. Per complaint from Robert Haas.
2010-10-19Fix incorrect generation of whole-row variables in planner.Tom Lane
A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars the same way the parser does. Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).

2010-10-17Fix a passel of inappropriately-named global functions in GIN.Tom Lane
The GIN code has absolutely no business exporting GIN-specific functions with names as generic as compareItemPointers() or newScanKey(); that's just trouble waiting to happen. I got annoyed about this again just now and decided to fix it. This commit ensures that all global symbols defined in access/gin/ have names including "gin" or "Gin". There were a couple of cases, like names involving "PostingItem", where arguably the names were already sufficiently nongeneric; but I figured as long as I was risking creating merge problems for unapplied GIN patches I might as well impose a uniform policy. I didn't touch any static symbol names. There might be some places where it'd be appropriate to rename some static functions to match siblings that are exported, but I'll leave that for another time.
2010-10-17Improve GIN indexscan cost estimation.Tom Lane
The better estimate requires more statistics than we previously stored: in particular, counts of "entry" versus "data" pages within the index, as well as knowledge of the number of distinct key values. We collect this information during initial index build and update it during VACUUM, storing the info in new fields on the index metapage. No initdb is required because these fields will read as zeroes in a pre-existing index, and the new gincostestimate code is coded to behave (reasonably) sanely if they are zeroes. Teodor Sigaev, reviewed by Jan Urbanski, Tom Lane, and Itagaki Takahiro.
2010-10-17Fix msvc build for localized versions of Visual C++Magnus Hagander
Look only at the non-localized part of the output from "vcbuild /?", which is used to determine the version of Visual Studio in use. Different languages seem to localize different amounts of the string, but we assume the part "Microsoft Visual C++" won't be modified.
2010-10-16Fix recent changes to not break non-IPV6-aware systems.Tom Lane
2010-10-15Allow WITH clauses to be attached to INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements.Tom Lane
This is not the hoped-for facility of using INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE inside a WITH, but rather the other way around. It seems useful in its own right anyway. Note: catversion bumped because, although the contents of stored rules might look compatible, there's actually a subtle semantic change. A single Query containing a WITH and INSERT...VALUES now represents writing the WITH before the INSERT, not before the VALUES. While it's not clear that that matters to anyone, it seems like a good idea to have it cited in the git history for catversion.h. Original patch by Marko Tiikkaja, with updating and cleanup by Hitoshi Harada.
