2024-07-22Doc: improve description of plpgsql's FETCH and MOVE commands.Tom Lane
We were not being clear about which variants of the "direction" clause are permitted in MOVE. Also, the text seemed to be written with only the FETCH/MOVE NEXT case in mind, so it didn't apply very well to other variants. Also, document that "MOVE count IN cursor" only works if count is a constant. This is not the whole truth, because some other cases such as a parenthesized expression will also work, but we want to push people to use "MOVE FORWARD count" instead. The constant case is enough to cover what we allow in plain SQL, and that seems sufficient to claim support for. Update a comment in pl_gram.y claiming that we don't document that point. Per gripe from Philipp Salvisberg. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/172155553388.702.7932496598218792085@wrigleys.postgresql.org
2024-07-20Correctly check updatability of columns targeted by INSERT...DEFAULT.Tom Lane
If a view has some updatable and some non-updatable columns, we failed to verify updatability of any columns for which an INSERT or UPDATE on the view explicitly specifies a DEFAULT item (unless the view has a declared default for that column, which is rare anyway, and one would almost certainly not write one for a non-updatable column). This would lead to an unexpected "attribute number N not found in view targetlist" error rather than the intended error. Per bug #18546 from Alexander Lakhin. This bug is old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18546-84a292e759a9361d@postgresql.org

2024-07-15Fix type confusion in guc_var_compare()Andres Freund
Before this change guc_var_compare() cast the input arguments to const struct config_generic *. That's not quite right however, as the input on one side is often just a char * on one side. Instead just use char *, the first field in config_generic. This fixes a -Warray-bounds warning with some versions of gcc. While the warning is only known to be triggered for <= 15, the issue the warning points out seems real, so apply the fix everywhere.

2024-07-14Avoid unhelpful internal error for incorrect recursive-WITH queries.Tom Lane
checkWellFormedRecursion would issue "missing recursive reference" if a WITH RECURSIVE query contained a single self-reference but that self-reference was inside a top-level WITH, ORDER BY, LIMIT, etc, rather than inside the second arm of the UNION as expected. We already intended to throw more-on-point errors for such cases, but those error checks must be done before examining the UNION arm in order to have the desired results. So this patch need only move some code (and improve the comments). Per bug #18536 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-07-13Fix lost Windows socket EOF events.Thomas Munro
Winsock only signals an FD_CLOSE event once if the other end of the socket shuts down gracefully. Because each WaitLatchOrSocket() call constructs and destroys a new event handle every time, with unlucky timing we can lose it and hang. We get away with this only if the other end disconnects non-gracefully, because FD_CLOSE is repeatedly signaled in that case. To fix this design flaw in our Windows socket support fundamentally, we'd probably need to rearchitect it so that a single event handle exists for the lifetime of a socket, or switch to completely different multiplexing or async I/O APIs. That's going to be a bigger job and probably wouldn't be back-patchable. This brute force kludge closes the race by explicitly polling with MSG_PEEK before sleeping. Back-patch to all supported releases. This should hopefully clear up some random build farm and CI hang failures reported over the years. It might also allow us to try using graceful shutdown in more places again (reverted in commit 29992a6) to fix instability in the transmission of FATAL error messages, but that isn't done by this commit.

2024-07-12Fix ALTER TABLE DETACH for inconsistent indexesAlvaro Herrera
When a partitioned table has an index that doesn't support a constraint, but a partition has an equivalent index that does, then a DETACH operation would misbehave: a crash in assertion-enabled systems (because we fail to find the constraint in the parent that we expect to), or a broken coninhcount value (-1) in production systems (because we blindly believe that we've successfully detached the parent). While we should reject an ATTACH of a partition with such an index, we have failed to do so in existing releases, so adding an error in stable releases might break the (unlikely) existing applications that rely on this behavior. At this point I don't even want to reject them in master, because it'd break pg_upgrade if such databases exist, and there would be no easy way to fix existing databases without expensive index rebuilds. (Later on we could add ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX to partitioned tables, which would allow the user to fix such patterns. At that point we could add more restrictions to prevent the problem from its root.) Also, add a test case that leaves one table in this condition, so that we can verify that pg_upgrade continues to work if we later decide to change the policy on the master branch.

2024-07-11Fix possibility of logical decoding partial transaction changes.Masahiko Sawada
When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to find the start point for extracting changes in the DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial transactions. Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit record. To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start point. On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION has been bumpded. On backbranches, the flag is stored in the LogicalDecodingContext instead, preserving on-disk compatibility. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2024-07-10Make our back branches compatible with libxml2 2.13.x.Tom Lane
This back-patches HEAD commits 066e8ac6e, 6082b3d5d, e7192486d, and 896cd266f into supported branches. Changes: * Use xmlAddChildList not xmlAddChild in XMLSERIALIZE (affects v16 and up only). This was a flat-out coding mistake that we got away with due to lax checking in previous versions of xmlAddChild. * Use xmlParseInNodeContext not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory. This is to dodge a bug in xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory in libxm2 releases 2.13.0-2.13.2. While that bug is now fixed upstream and will probably never be seen in any production-oriented distro, it is currently a problem on some more-bleeding-edge-friendly platforms. * Suppress "chunk is not well balanced" errors from libxml2, unless it is the only error. This eliminates an error-reporting discrepancy between 2.13 and older releases. This error is almost always redundant with previous errors, if not flat-out inappropriate, which is why 2.13 changed the behavior and why nobody's likely to miss it.

2024-07-08Fix scale clamping in numeric round() and trunc().Dean Rasheed
The numeric round() and trunc() functions clamp the scale argument to the range between +/- NUMERIC_MAX_RESULT_SCALE (2000), which is much smaller than the actual allowed range of type numeric. As a result, they return incorrect results when asked to round/truncate more than 2000 digits before or after the decimal point. Fix by using the correct upper and lower scale limits based on the actual allowed (and documented) range of type numeric. While at it, use the new NUMERIC_WEIGHT_MAX constant instead of SHRT_MAX in all other overflow checks, and fix a comment thinko in power_var() introduced by e54a758d24 -- the minimum value of ln_dweight is -NUMERIC_DSCALE_MAX (-16383), not -SHRT_MAX, though this doesn't affect the point being made in the comment, that the resulting local_rscale value may exceed NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000).

2024-07-06Cope with <regex.h> name clashes.Thomas Munro
macOS 15's SDK pulls in headers related to <regex.h> when we include <xlocale.h>. This causes our own regex_t implementation to clash with the OS's regex_t implementation. Luckily our function names already had pg_ prefixes, but the macros and typenames did not. Include <regex.h> explicitly on all POSIX systems, and fix everything that breaks. Then we can prove that we are capable of fully hiding and replacing the system regex API with our own. 1. Deal with standard-clobbering macros by undefining them all first. POSIX says they are "symbolic constants". If they are macros, this allows us to redefine them. If they are enums or variables, our macros will hide them. 2. Deal with standard-clobbering types by giving our types pg_ prefixes, and then using macros to redirect xxx_t -> pg_xxx_t. After including our "regex/regex.h", the system <regex.h> is hidden, because we've replaced all the standard names. The PostgreSQL source tree and extensions can continue to use standard prefix-less type and macro names, but reach our implementation, if they included our "regex/regex.h" header. Back-patch to all supported branches, so that macOS 15's tool chain can build them.

2024-07-01Preserve CurrentMemoryContext across notify and sinval interrupts.Tom Lane
ProcessIncomingNotify is called from the main processing loop that normally runs in MessageContext. That outer-loop code assumes that whatever it allocates will be cleaned up when we're done processing the current client message --- but if we service a notify interrupt, then whatever gets allocated before the next switch into MessageContext will be permanently leaked in TopMemoryContext, because CommitTransactionCommand sets CurrentMemoryContext to TopMemoryContext. There are observable leaks associated with (at least) encoding conversion of incoming queries and parameters attached to Bind messages. sinval catchup interrupts have a similar problem. There might be others, but I've not identified any other clear cases. To fix, take care to save and restore CurrentMemoryContext across the Start/CommitTransactionCommand calls in these functions.

2024-06-27Lock before setting relhassubclass on RELKIND_PARTITIONED_INDEX.Noah Misch
Commit 5b562644fec696977df4a82790064e8287927891 added a comment that SetRelationHasSubclass() callers must hold this lock. When commit 17f206fbc824d2b4b14480199ca9ff7dea417eda extended use of this column to partitioned indexes, it didn't take the lock. As the latter commit message mentioned, we currently never reset a partitioned index to relhassubclass=f. That largely avoids harm from the lock omission. The cause for fixing this now is to unblock introducing a rule about locks required to heap_update() a pg_class row. This might cause more deadlocks. It gives minor user-visible benefits: - If an ALTER INDEX SET TABLESPACE runs concurrently with ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION or CREATE PARTITION OF, one transaction blocks instead of failing with "tuple concurrently updated". (Many cases of DDL concurrency still fail that way.) - Match ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION in choosing to lock the index. While not user-visible today, we'll need this if we ever make something set the flag to false for a partitioned index, like ANALYZE does today for tables.

2024-06-27Avoid crashing when a JIT-inlined backend function throws an error.Tom Lane
errfinish() assumes that the __FUNC__ and __FILE__ arguments it's passed are compile-time constant strings that can just be pointed to rather than physically copied. However, it's possible for LLVM to generate code in which those pointers point into a dynamically loaded code segment. If that segment gets unloaded before we're done with the ErrorData struct, we have dangling pointers that will lead to SIGSEGV. In simple cases that won't happen, because we won't unload LLVM code before end of transaction. But it's possible to happen if the error is thrown within end-of-transaction code run by _SPI_commit or _SPI_rollback, because since commit 2e517818f those functions clean up by ending the transaction and starting a new one. Rather than fixing this by adding pstrdup() overhead to every elog/ereport sequence, let's fix it by copying the risky pointers in CopyErrorData(). That solves it for _SPI_commit/_SPI_rollback because they use that function to preserve the error data across the transaction end/restart sequence; and it seems likely that any other code doing something similar would need to do that too. I'm suspicious that this behavior amounts to an LLVM bug (or a bug in our use of it?), because it implies that string constant references that should be pointer-equal according to a naive understanding of C semantics will sometimes not be equal. However, even if it is a bug and someday gets fixed, we'll have to cope with the current behavior for a long time to come. Report and patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-06-20Don't throw an error if a queued AFTER trigger no longer exists.Tom Lane
afterTriggerInvokeEvents and AfterTriggerExecute have always treated it as an error if the trigger OID mentioned in a queued after-trigger event can't be found. However, that fails to account for the edge case where the trigger's been dropped in the current transaction since queueing the event. There seems no very good reason to disallow that case, so instead silently do nothing if the trigger OID can't be found. This does give up a little bit of bug-detection ability, but I don't recall that these error messages have ever actually revealed a bug, so it seems mostly theoretical.

2024-06-17Fix insertion of SP-GiST REDIRECT tuples during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane
Reconstruction of an SP-GiST index by REINDEX CONCURRENTLY may insert some REDIRECT tuples. This will typically happen in a transaction that lacks an XID, which leads either to assertion failure in spgFormDeadTuple or to insertion of a REDIRECT tuple with zero xid. The latter's not good either, since eventually VACUUM will apply GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() to the zero xid, resulting in either an assertion failure or a garbage answer. In practice, since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY locks out index scans till it's done, it doesn't matter whether it inserts REDIRECTs or PLACEHOLDERs; and likewise it doesn't matter how soon VACUUM reduces such a REDIRECT to a PLACEHOLDER. So in non-assert builds there's no observable problem here, other than perhaps a little index bloat. But it's not behaving as intended. To fix, remove the failing Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, acknowledging that we might sometimes insert a zero XID; and guard VACUUM's GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() call with a test for valid XID, ensuring that we'll reduce such a REDIRECT the first time VACUUM sees it. (Versions before v14 use TransactionIdPrecedes here, which won't fail on zero xid, so they really have no bug at all in non-assert builds.) Another solution could be to not create REDIRECTs at all during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, making the relevant code paths treat that case like index build (which likewise knows that no concurrent index scans can be happening). That would allow restoring the Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, but we'd still need the VACUUM change because redirection tuples with zero xid may be out there already. But there doesn't seem to be a nice way for spginsert() to tell that it's being called in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY without some API changes, so we'll leave that as a possible future improvement. In HEAD, also rename the SpGistState.myXid field to redirectXid, which seems less misleading (since it might not in fact be our transaction's XID) and is certainly less uninformatively generic.

However, this failed for cases like "(foo bar) or something", or in general an ISOPERATOR character in front of the "or". We'd switch back to WAITOPERAND state, then ignore the operator character while remaining in that state, and then reach the "or" in WAITOPERAND state which (intentionally) makes us treat it as data. The fix is simple enough: if we see an ISOPERATOR character while in WAITOPERATOR state, we have to skip it while staying in that state. (We don't need to worry about other punctuation characters: those will be consumed as though they were words, but then rejected by lexizing.) In v14 and up (since commit eb086056f) we can simplify the code a bit more too, because there is no longer a reason for the WAITOPERAND state to distinguish between quoted and unquoted operands.

2024-06-13When replanning a plpgsql "simple expression", check it's still simple.Tom Lane
The previous coding here assumed that we didn't need to recheck any of the querytree tests made in exec_simple_check_plan(). I think we supposed that those properties were fully determined by the syntax of the source text and hence couldn't change. That is true for most of them, but at least hasTargetSRFs and hasAggs can change by dint of forcibly dropping an originally-referenced function and recreating it with new properties. That leads to "unexpected plan node type" or similar failures. These tests are pretty cheap compared to the cost of replanning, so rather than sweat over exactly which properties need to be rechecked, let's just recheck them all. Hence, factor out those tests into a new function exec_is_simple_query(), and rearrange callers as needed. A second problem in the same area was that if we failed during replanning or during exec_save_simple_expr(), we'd potentially leave behind now-dangling pointers to the old simple expression, potentially resulting in crashes later. To fix, clear those pointers before replanning. The v12 code looks quite different in this area but still has the bug about needing to recheck query simplicity. I chose to back-patch all of the plpgsql_simple.sql test script, which formerly didn't exist in this branch. Per bug #18497 from Nikita Kalinin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-06-11Fix infer_arbiter_indexes() to not assume resultRelation is 1.Tom Lane
infer_arbiter_indexes failed to renumber varnos in index expressions or predicates that it got from the catalogs. This escaped detection up to now because the stored varnos in such trees will be 1, and an INSERT's result relation is usually the first rangetable entry, so that that was fine. However, in cases such as inserting through an updatable view, it's not fine, leading to failure to match the expressions to the query with ensuing "there is no unique or exclusion constraint matching the ON CONFLICT specification" errors.

2024-06-07Reject modifying a temp table of another session with ALTER TABLE.Tom Lane
Normally this case isn't even reachable by non-superusers, since permissions checks prevent naming such a table. However, it is possible to make it happen by altering a parent table whose child is another session's temp table. We definitely can't support any such ALTER that requires modifying the contents of such a table, since we lack access to the other session's temporary-buffer pool. But there seems no good reason to allow it even if it'd only require changing catalog contents. One reason not to allow it is that we'd rather not expose the implementation-dependent behavior of whether a specific ALTER requires touching the table contents. Another is that there may be (in future, even if not today) optimizations that assume that a session's own temp tables won't be modified by other sessions. Hence, add a RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP() check to all the places where ALTER TABLE currently does CheckTableNotInUse(). (I looked through all other callers of CheckTableNotInUse(), and they seem OK already.) Per bug #18492 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-06-07Fix behavior of stable functions called from a CALL's argument list.Tom Lane
If the CALL is within an atomic context (e.g. there's an outer transaction block), _SPI_execute_plan should acquire a fresh snapshot to execute any such functions with. We failed to do that and instead passed them the Portal snapshot, which had been acquired at the start of the current SQL command. This'd lead to seeing stale values of rows modified since the start of the command. This is arguably a bug in 84f5c2908: I failed to see that "are we in non-atomic mode" needs to be defined the same way as it is further down in _SPI_execute_plan, i.e. check !_SPI_current->atomic not just options->allow_nonatomic. Alternatively the blame could be laid on plpgsql, which is unconditionally passing allow_nonatomic = true for CALL/DO even when it knows it's in an atomic context. However, fixing it in spi.c seems like a better idea since that will also fix the problem for any extensions that may have copied plpgsql's coding pattern. While here, update an obsolete comment about _SPI_execute_plan's snapshot management. Per report from Victor Yegorov. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2024-06-06Fix failure with SQL-procedure polymorphic output arguments in v12.Tom Lane
Before the v13-era commit 913bbd88d, check_sql_fn_retval fails to resolve polymorphic output types and then just throws up its hands and assumes the check will be made at runtime. I think that's true for ordinary functions returning RECORD, but it doesn't happen in CALL, potentially resulting in crashes if the actual output of the SQL procedure's SELECT doesn't match the type inferred from polymorphism. With a little bit of rearrangement, we can use get_call_result_type instead of get_func_result_type and thereby infer the correct types. I'm still unwilling to back-patch all of 913bbd88d, so if the types don't match you'll get an error rather than perhaps silently inserting a cast as v13 and later can. That's consistent with prior behavior though, so it seems fine. Prior to 70ffb27b2, you'd typically get other errors due to other shortcomings of CALL's management of polymorphism. Nonetheless, this is an independent bug. Although there is no bug in v13 and up, it seems prudent to add the test case for this to the newer branches too. It's clearly an under-tested area.

2024-06-04Fix pl/tcl's handling of errors from Tcl_ListObjGetElements().Tom Lane
In a procedure or function returning tuple, we use that function to parse the Tcl script's result, which is supposed to be a Tcl list. If it isn't, you get an error. Commit 26abb50c4 incautiously supposed that we could use throw_tcl_error() to report such an error. That doesn't actually work, because low-level functions like Tcl_ListObjGetElements() don't fill Tcl's errorInfo variable. The result is either a null-pointer-dereference crash or emission of misleading context information describing the previous Tcl error. Back off to just reporting the interpreter's result string, and improve throw_tcl_error()'s comment to explain when to use it. Also, although the similar code in pltcl_trigger_handler() avoided this mistake, it was using a fairly confusing wording of the error message. Improve that while we're here. Per report from A. Kozhemyakin. Back-patch to all supported branches. Erik Wienhold and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6a2a1c40-2b2c-4a33-8b72-243c0766fcda@postgrespro.ru
2024-05-23Remove race conditions between ECPGdebug() and ecpg_log().Tom Lane
Coverity complains that ECPGdebug is accessing debugstream without holding debug_mutex, which is a fair complaint: we should take debug_mutex while changing the settings ecpg_log looks at. In some branches it also complains about unlocked use of simple_debug. I think it's intentional and safe to have a quick unlocked check of simple_debug at the start of ecpg_log, since that early exit will always be taken in non-debug cases. But we should recheck simple_debug after acquiring the mutex. In the worst case, calling ECPGdebug concurrently with ecpg_log in another thread could result in a null-pointer dereference due to debugstream transiently being NULL while simple_debug isn't 0. This is largely hypothetical, since it's unlikely anybody uses ECPGdebug() at all in the field, and our own regression tests don't seem to be hitting the theoretical race conditions either. Still, if we're going to the trouble of having mutexes here, we ought to be using them in a way that's actually safe not just almost safe. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches.
2024-05-18Account for optimized MinMax aggregates during SS_finalize_plan.Tom Lane
We are capable of optimizing MIN() and MAX() aggregates on indexed columns into subqueries that exploit the index, rather than the normal thing of scanning the whole table. When we do this, we replace the Aggref node(s) with Params referencing subquery outputs. Such Params really ought to be included in the per-plan-node extParam/allParam sets computed by SS_finalize_plan. However, we've never done so up to now because of an ancient implementation choice to perform that substitution during set_plan_references, which runs after SS_finalize_plan, so that SS_finalize_plan never sees these Params. The cleanest fix would be to perform a separate tree walk to do these substitutions before SS_finalize_plan runs. That seems unattractive, first because a whole-tree mutation pass is expensive, and second because we lack infrastructure for visiting expression subtrees in a Plan tree, so that we'd need a new function knowing as much as SS_finalize_plan knows about that. I also considered swapping the order of SS_finalize_plan and set_plan_references, but that fell foul of various assumptions that seem tricky to fix. So the approach adopted here is to teach SS_finalize_plan itself to check for such Aggrefs. I refactored things a bit in setrefs.c to avoid having three copies of the code that does that. Back-patch of v17 commits d0d44049d and 779ac2c74. When d0d44049d went in, there was no evidence that it was fixing a reachable bug, so I refrained from back-patching. Now we have such evidence.

2024-05-14Fix handling of polymorphic output arguments for procedures.Tom Lane
Most of the infrastructure for procedure arguments was already okay with polymorphic output arguments, but it turns out that CallStmtResultDesc() was a few bricks shy of a load here. It thought all it needed to do was call build_function_result_tupdesc_t, but that function specifically disclaims responsibility for resolving polymorphic arguments. Failing to handle that doesn't seem to be a problem for CALL in plpgsql, but CALL from plain SQL would get errors like "cannot display a value of type anyelement", or even crash outright. In v14 and later we can simply examine the exposed types of the CallStmt.outargs nodes to get the right type OIDs. But it's a lot more complicated to fix in v12/v13, because those versions don't have CallStmt.outargs, nor do they do expand_function_arguments until ExecuteCallStmt runs. We have to duplicatively run expand_function_arguments, and then re-determine which elements of the args list are output arguments. Per bug #18463 from Drew Kimball.

2024-05-13Fix pg_sequence_last_value() for unlogged sequences on standbys.Nathan Bossart
Presently, when this function is called for an unlogged sequence on a standby server, it will error out with a message like ERROR: could not open file "base/5/16388": No such file or directory Since the pg_sequences system view uses pg_sequence_last_value(), it can error similarly. To fix, modify the function to return NULL for unlogged sequences on standby servers. Since this bug is present on all versions since v15, this approach is preferable to making the ERROR nicer because we need to repair the pg_sequences view without modifying its definition on released versions. For consistency, this commit also modifies the function to return NULL for other sessions' temporary sequences. The pg_sequences view already appropriately filters out such sequences, so there's no bug there, but we might as well offer some defense in case someone invokes this function directly. Unlogged sequences were first introduced in v15, but temporary sequences are much older, so while the fix for unlogged sequences is only back-patched to v15, the temporary sequence portion is back-patched to all supported versions. We could also remove the privilege check in the pg_sequences view definition in v18 if we modify this function to return NULL for sequences for which the current user lacks privileges, but that is left as a future exercise for when v18 development begins.
