2008-07-24Fix parsing of LDAP URLs so it doesn't reject spaces in the "suffix" part.Tom Lane
Per report from César Miguel Oliveira Alves.
2008-07-23Ratchet up patch to improve autovacuum wraparound messages.Alvaro Herrera
Simon Riggs
2008-07-21Publish more openly the fact that autovacuum is working for wraparoundAlvaro Herrera
protection. Simon Riggs
2008-07-17Add MSVC++ debug libraries to .cvsignore.Alvaro Herrera
2008-07-17Avoid crashing when a table is deleted while we're on the process of checkingAlvaro Herrera
it. This is a stripped down version of the patch applied to HEAD. Per report from Tom Lane based on buildfarm evidence.
2008-07-11Fix an oversight in the original implementation of performMultipleDeletions():Tom Lane
the alreadyDeleted list has to be passed down through deleteDependentObjects(), else objects that are deleted via auto/internal dependencies don't get reported back up to performMultipleDeletions(). Depending on the visitation order, this could cause the code to try to delete an already-deleted object, leading to strange errors in DROP OWNED (typically "cache lookup failed for relation NNNNN" or similar). Per bug #4289. Patch for back branches only. This code has recently been rewritten in HEAD, and doesn't have this particular bug anymore.
2008-07-10Fix mis-calculation of extParam/allParam sets for plan nodes, as seen inTom Lane
bug #4290. The fundamental bug is that masking extParam by outer_params, as finalize_plan had been doing, caused us to lose the information that an initPlan depended on the output of a sibling initPlan. On reflection the best thing to do seemed to be not to try to adjust outer_params for this case but get rid of it entirely. The only thing it was really doing for us was to filter out param IDs associated with SubPlan nodes, and that can be done (with greater accuracy) while processing individual SubPlan nodes in finalize_primnode. This approach was vindicated by the discovery that the masking method was hiding a second bug: SS_finalize_plan failed to remove extParam bits for initPlan output params that were referenced in the main plan tree (it only got rid of those referenced by other initPlans). It's not clear that this caused any real problems, given the limited use of extParam by the executor, but it's certainly not what was intended. I originally thought that there was also a problem with needing to include indirect dependencies on external params in initPlans' param sets, but it turns out that the executor handles this correctly so long as the depended-on initPlan is earlier in the initPlans list than the one using its output. That seems a bit of a fragile assumption, but it is true at the moment, so I just documented it in some code comments rather than making what would be rather invasive changes to remove the assumption. Back-patch to 8.1. Previous versions don't have the case of initPlans referring to other initPlans' outputs, so while the existing logic is still questionable for them, there are not any known bugs to be fixed. So I'll refrain from changing them for now.
2008-07-08Fix performance bug in write_syslog(): the code to preferentially break theTom Lane
log message at newlines cost O(N^2) for very long messages with few or no newlines. For messages in the megabyte range this became the dominant cost. Per gripe from Achilleas Mantzios. Patch all the way back, since this is a safe change with no portability risks. I am also thinking of increasing PG_SYSLOG_LIMIT, but that should be done separately.
2008-07-07Fix estimate_num_groups() to assume that GROUP BY expressions yielding booleanTom Lane
results always contribute two groups, regardless of the expression contents. This is very substantially more accurate than the regular heuristic for certain boolean tests like "col IS NULL". Per gripe from Sam Mason. Back-patch to all supported releases, since the behavior of estimate_num_groups() hasn't changed all that much since 7.4.
2008-07-07Fix AT TIME ZONE (in all three variants) so that we first try to interpretTom Lane
the timezone argument as a timezone abbreviation, and only try it as a full timezone name if that fails. The zic database has four zones (CET, EET, MET, WET) that are full daylight-savings zones and yet have names that are the same as their abbreviations for standard time, resulting in ambiguity. In the timestamp input functions we resolve the ambiguity by preferring the abbreviation, and AT TIME ZONE should work the same way. (No functionality is lost because the zic database also has other names for these zones, eg Europe/Zurich.) Per gripe from Jaromir Talir. Backpatch to 8.1. Older releases did not have the issue because AT TIME ZONE only accepted abbreviations not zone names. (Thus, this patch also arguably fixes a compatibility botch introduced at 8.1: in ambiguous cases we now behave the same as 8.0 did.)
2008-07-06Prevent integer overflows during units conversion when displaying a GUCTom Lane
variable that has units. Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner. Backport to 8.2. I also backported my patch of 2007-06-21 that prevented comparable overflows on the input side, since that now seems to have enough field track record to be back-patched safely. That patch included addition of hints listing the available unit names, which I did not bother to strip out of it --- this will make a little more work for the translators, but they can copy the translation from 8.3, and anyway an untranslated hint is better than no hint.
2008-07-04Fix a couple of bugs in win32 shmem name generation:Magnus Hagander
* Don't cut off the prefix. With this fix, it's again readable. * Properly store it in the Global namespace as intended.
2008-07-03Fix transaction-lifespan memory leak in xpath(). Report by Matt Magoffin,Tom Lane
fix by Kris Jurka.
2008-07-01Fix identify_system_timezone() so that it tests the behavior of the systemTom Lane
timezone setting in the current year and for 100 years back, rather than always examining years 1904-2004. The original coding would have problems distinguishing zones whose behavior diverged only after 2004; which is a situation we will surely face sometime, if it's not out there already. In passing, also prevent selection of the dummy "Factory" timezone, even if that's exactly what the system is using. Reporting time as GMT seems better than that.
2008-06-27Consider a clause to be outerjoin_delayed if it references the nullable sideTom Lane
of any lower outer join, even if it also references the non-nullable side and so could not get pushed below the outer join anyway. We need this in case the clause is an OR clause: if it doesn't get marked outerjoin_delayed, create_or_index_quals() could pull an indexable restriction for the nullable side out of it, leading to wrong results as demonstrated by today's bug report from toruvinn. (See added regression test case for an example.) In principle this has been wrong for quite a while. In practice I don't think any branch before 8.3 can really show the failure, because create_or_index_quals() will only pull out indexable conditions, and before 8.3 those were always strict. So though we might have improperly generated null-extended rows in the outer join, they'd get discarded from the result anyway. The gating factor that makes the failure visible is that 8.3 considers "col IS NULL" to be indexable. Hence I'm not going to risk back-patching further than 8.3.

2008-06-27Fix 'pg_ctl reload' to properly preserve postmaster commend-lineBruce Momjian
arguments on restart. Patch to releases 8.0 - 8.3.X.
2008-06-19Fix a few places that were non-multibyte-safe in tsearch configuration fileTom Lane
parsing. Per bug #4253 from Giorgio Valoti.
2008-06-18Improve error reporting for problems in text search configuration filesTom Lane
by installing an error context subroutine that will provide the file name and line number for all errors detected while reading a config file. Some of the reader routines were already doing that in an ad-hoc way for errors detected directly in the reader, but it didn't help for problems detected in subroutines, such as encoding violations. Back-patch to 8.3 because 8.3 is where people will be trying to debug configuration files.
2008-06-17Fix the code that adds regclass constants to a plan's list of relation OIDsTom Lane
that it depends on for replan-forcing purposes. We need to consider plain OID constants too, because eval_const_expressions folds a RelabelType atop a Const to just a Const. This change could result in OID values that aren't really for tables getting added to the dependency list, but the worst-case consequence would be occasional useless replans. Per report from Gabriele Messineo.
2008-06-17Clean up a number of bogosities around pltcl's handling of the Tcl "result":Tom Lane
1. Directly reading interp->result is deprecated in Tcl 8.0 and later; you're supposed to use Tcl_GetStringResult. This code finally broke with Tcl 8.5, because Tcl_GetVar can now have side-effects on interp->result even though it preserves the logical state of the result. (There's arguably a Tcl issue here, because Tcl_GetVar could invalidate the pointer result of a just-preceding Tcl_GetStringResult, but I doubt the Tcl guys will see it as a bug.) 2. We were being sloppy about the encoding of the result: some places would push database-encoding data into the Tcl result, which should not happen, and we were assuming that any error result coming back from Tcl was in the database encoding, which is not a good assumption. 3. There were a lot of calls of Tcl_SetResult that uselessly specified TCL_VOLATILE for constant strings. This is only a minor performance issue, but I fixed it in passing since I had to look at all the calls anyway. #2 is a live bug regardless of which Tcl version you are interested in, so back-patch even to branches that are unlikely to be used with Tcl 8.5. I went back as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch applied easily; 7.4 was using a different error processing scheme that has got its own problems :-(
2008-06-13Improve the various elog messages in tuptoaster.c to report which TOAST tableTom Lane
the problem happened in. These are all supposedly can't-happen cases, but when they do happen it's useful to know where. Back-patch to 8.3, but not further because the patch doesn't apply cleanly further back. Given the lack of response to my proposal of this, there doesn't seem to be enough interest to justify much back-porting effort.
2008-06-11Fix bug in the WAL recovery code to finish an incomplete split.Heikki Linnakangas
CacheInvalidateRelcache() crashes if called in WAL recovery, because the invalidation infrastructure hasn't been initialized yet. Back-patch to 8.2, where the bug was introduced.
2008-06-10Create a script to handle stamping release version numbers into files,Tom Lane
replacing the tedious and error-prone manual process we've been using.
2008-06-09Fix unportable (and incorrect anyway) usage of LL constant suffix thatTom Lane
recently snuck into cash.c. Per report from Edmundo Robles Lopez.
2008-06-09Fix datetime input functions to correctly detect integer overflow whenTom Lane
running on a 64-bit platform ... strtol() will happily return 64-bit output in that case. Per bug #4231 from Geoff Tolley.
2008-06-08Stamp 8.3.3 (except for configure.in/configure)Tom Lane
2008-06-08ALTER AGGREGATE OWNER seems to have been missed by the last couple ofTom Lane
patches that dealt with object ownership. It wasn't updating pg_shdepend nor adjusting the aggregate's ACL. In 8.2 and up, fix this permanently by making it use AlterFunctionOwner_oid. In 8.1, the function code wasn't factored that way, so just copy and paste.
2008-06-06Fix pg_get_ruledef() so that negative numeric constants are parenthesized.Tom Lane
This is needed because :: casting binds more tightly than minus, so for example -1::integer is not the same as (-1)::integer, and there are cases where the difference is important. In particular this caused a failure in SELECT DISTINCT ... ORDER BY ... where expressions that should have matched were seen as different by the parser; but I suspect that there could be other cases where failure to parenthesize leads to subtler semantic differences in reloaded rules. Per report from Alexandr Popov.

2008-06-05Translation updates.Tom Lane
2008-06-04Added symbol SQL to list of allowed variables.Michael Meskes
2008-06-03Remove unused variable (was already done in HEAD)Tom Lane
2008-06-02Fix initdb to reject a relative path for -X (--xlogdir) argument. ThisTom Lane
doesn't work, and the real reason why not is it's unclear where the path is relative to (initdb's CWD, or the data directory?). We could make an arbitrary decision, but it seems best to make the user be unambiguous. Per gripe from Devrim.
2008-06-01Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2008c (DST law changes inTom Lane
Morocco, Iraq, Choibalsan, Pakistan, Syria, Cuba, Argentina/San_Luis).
2008-05-29Make 8.3.x psql print tab characters as an appropriate number of spaces,Tom Lane
rather than "\x09". Before 8.3 we just printed tabs as-is, leading to poor formatting of subsequent columns, but consensus is that "\x09" is not an improvement over that. Back-patch of fix that's already in HEAD.
2008-05-28Backpatch Zdenek Kotala's fix to prevent pglz_decompress from stomping onTom Lane
memory if the compressed data is corrupt. Backpatch as far as 8.2. The issue exists in older branches too, but given the lack of field reports, it's not clear it's worth any additional effort to adapt the patch to the slightly different code in older branches.
2008-05-27Explicitly bind gettext() to the UTF8 locale when in use.Magnus Hagander
This is required on Windows due to the special locale handling for UTF8 that doesn't change the full environment. Fixes crash with translated error messages per bugs 4180 and 4196. Tom Lane
2008-05-26Fix an old corner-case bug in set_config_option: push_old_value has to beTom Lane
called before, not after, calling the assign_hook if any. This is because push_old_value might fail (due to palloc out-of-memory), and in that case there would be no stack entry to tell transaction abort to undo the GUC assignment. Of course the actual assignment to the GUC variable hasn't happened yet --- but the assign_hook might have altered subsidiary state. Without a stack entry we won't call it again to make it undo such actions. So this is necessary to make the world safe for assign_hooks with side effects. Per a discussion a couple weeks ago with Magnus. Back-patch to 8.0. 7.x did not have the problem because it did not have allocatable stacks of GUC values.
2008-05-25Adjust timestamp regression tests to prevent two low-probability failureTom Lane
cases. Recent buildfarm experience shows that it is sometimes possible to execute several SQL commands in less time than the granularity of Windows' not-very-high-resolution gettimeofday(), leading to a failure because the tests expect the value of now() to change and it doesn't. Also, it was recognized some time ago that the same area of the tests could fail if local midnight passes between the insertion and the checking of the values for 'yesterday', 'tomorrow', etc. Clean all this up per ideas from myself and Greg Stark. There remains a window for failure if the transaction block is entered exactly at local midnight (so that 'now' and 'today' have the same value), but that seems low-probability enough to live with. Since the point of this change is mostly to eliminate buildfarm noise, back-patch to all versions we are still actively testing.
2008-05-19Remove arbitrary 10MB limit on two-phase state file size. It's not that hardHeikki Linnakangas
to go beoynd 10MB, as demonstrated by Gavin Sharry's example of dropping a schema with ~25000 objects. The really bogus thing about the limit was that it was enforced when a state file file was read in, not when it was written, so you would end up with a prepared transaction that you can't commit or abort, and the only recourse was to shut down the server and remove the file by hand. Raise the limit to MaxAllocSize, and enforce it also when a state file is written. We could've removed the limit altogether, but reading in a file larger than MaxAllocSize would fail anyway because we read it into a palloc'd buffer. Backpatch down to 8.1, where 2PC and this issue was introduced.
2008-05-19Coercion sanity check in ri_HashCompareOp failed to allow for enums, as perTom Lane
example from Rod Taylor. On reflection the correct test here is for any polymorphic type, not specifically ANYARRAY as in the original coding.
2008-05-15Add code to eval_const_expressions() to support const-simplification ofTom Lane
CoerceViaIO nodes. This improves the ability of the planner to deal with cases where the node input is a constant. Per bug #4170.
2008-05-13Don't try to close negative file descriptors, since this can causeMagnus Hagander
crashes on certain platforms. In particular, the MSVC runtime is known to do this. Fixes bug #4162, reported and diagnosed by Javier Pimas
2008-05-12Check for non-existant connection in prepare statement handling.Michael Meskes
Do not close files that weren't opened.
2008-05-10Backpatch fixes for contrib makefiles.Andrew Dunstan
2008-05-09Fix an ancient oversight in change_varattnos_of_a_node: it neglected to updateTom Lane
varoattno along with varattno. This resulted in having Vars that were not seen as equal(), causing inheritance of the "same" constraint from different parent relations to fail. An example is create table pp1 (f1 int check (f1>0)); create table cc1 (f2 text, f3 int) inherits (pp1); create table cc2(f4 float) inherits(pp1,cc1); Backpatch as far as 7.4. (The test case still fails in 7.4, for reasons that I don't feel like investigating at the moment.) This is a backpatch commit only. The fix will be applied in HEAD as part of the upcoming pg_constraint patch.
2008-05-09Fix Assert introduced in previous patch.Heikki Linnakangas
2008-05-09Fix incorrect archive truncation point calculation in the %r recovery_commandHeikki Linnakangas
parameter. This fixes bug 4137 reported by Wojciech Strzalka, where a WAL file is deleted too early when starting the recovery of a warm standby server. Also add a sanity check in pg_standby so that it will refuse to delete anything earlier than the file being restored, and improve the debug message in case nothing is deleted. Simon Riggs. Backpatch to 8.3, which is where %r was introduced.
