2008-03-14Fix vacuum so that autovacuum is really not cancelled when doing an emergencyAlvaro Herrera
job (i.e. to prevent Xid wraparound problems.) Bug reported by ITAGAKI Takahiro in 20080314103837.63D3.52131E4D@oss.ntt.co.jp, though I didn't use his patch.
2008-03-14Translation updatesPeter Eisentraut
2008-03-13Stamp version 8.3.1, except for configure.in/configure.Tom Lane
2008-03-13Update to tzdata 2008a distribution (Chilean DST law change).Tom Lane
2008-03-13Fix varstr_cmp's special case for UTF8 encoding on Windows so that stringsTom Lane
that are reported as "equal" by wcscoll() are checked to see if they really are bitwise equal, and are sorted per strcmp() if not. We made this happen a couple of years ago in the regular code path, but it unaccountably got left out of the Windows/UTF8 case (probably brain fade on my part at the time). As in the prior set of changes, affected users may need to reindex indexes on textual columns. Backpatch as far as 8.2, which is the oldest release we are still supporting on Windows.
2008-03-13Fix heap_page_prune's problem with failing to send cache invalidationTom Lane
messages if the calling transaction aborts later on. Collapsing out line pointer redirects is a done deal as soon as we complete the page update, so syscache *must* be notified even if the VACUUM FULL as a whole doesn't complete. To fix, add some functionality to inval.c to allow the pending inval messages to be sent immediately while heap_page_prune is still running. The implementation is a bit chintzy: it will only work in the context of VACUUM FULL. But that's all we need now, and it can always be extended later if needed. Per my trouble report of a week ago.
2008-03-12Fix pg_plan_queries() to restore the previous setting of ActiveSnapshotTom Lane
(probably NULL) before exiting. Up to now it's just left the variable as it set it, which means that after we're done processing the current client message, ActiveSnapshot is probably pointing at garbage (because this function is typically run in MessageContext which will get reset). There doesn't seem to have been any code path in which that mattered before 8.3, but now the plancache module might try to use the stale value if the next client message is a Bind for a prepared statement that is in need of replanning. Per report from Alex Hunsaker.
2008-03-12Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponingTom Lane
pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end of the current transaction. This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there was before. Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY. There is a small potential incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting row insertion or deletion, where before it would have. It seems unlikely that anyone would be depending on that, though. This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction. That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.
2008-03-09Revert changes of CompareTSQ: it affects existing btree indexes.Teodor Sigaev
2008-03-08Refactor heap_page_prune so that instead of changing item states on-the-fly,Tom Lane
it accumulates the set of changes to be made and then applies them. It had to accumulate the set of changes anyway to prepare a WAL record for the pruning action, so this isn't an enormous change; the only new complexity is to not doubly mark tuples that are visited twice in the scan. The main advantage is that we can substantially reduce the scope of the critical section in which the changes are applied, thus avoiding PANIC in foreseeable cases like running out of memory in inval.c. A nice secondary advantage is that it is now far clearer that WAL replay will actually do the same thing that the original pruning did. This commit doesn't do anything about the open problem that CacheInvalidateHeapTuple doesn't have the right semantics for a CTID change caused by collapsing out a redirect pointer. But whatever we do about that, it'll be a good idea to not do it inside a critical section.
2008-03-07Change hashscan.c to keep its list of active hash index scans inTom Lane
TopMemoryContext, rather than scattered through executor per-query contexts. This poses no danger of memory leak since the ResourceOwner mechanism guarantees release of no-longer-needed items. It is needed because the per-query context might already be released by the time we try to clean up the hash scan list. Report by ykhuang, diagnosis by Heikki. Back-patch to 8.0, where the ResourceOwner-based cleanup was introduced. The given test case does not fail before 8.2, probably because we rearranged transaction abort processing somehow; but this coding is undoubtedly risky so I'll patch 8.0 and 8.1 anyway.
2008-03-07Fix memory arrangement of tsquery after removing stop words. It causesTeodor Sigaev
a unused memory holes in tsquery. Per report by Richard Huxton <dev@archonet.com>. It was working well because in fact tsquery->size is not used for any kind of operation except comparing tsqueries. To prevent requirement of renew all stored tsquery optimization in CompareTSQ is removed.
2008-03-05Add support for dlopen on recent NetBSD/MIPS, per Rémi Zara.Alvaro Herrera
2008-03-05In PrepareToInvalidateCacheTuple, don't force initialization of catalogTom Lane
caches that we don't actually need to touch. This saves some trivial number of cycles and avoids certain cases of deadlock when doing concurrent VACUUM FULL on system catalogs. Per report from Gavin Roy. Backpatch to 8.2. In earlier versions, CatalogCacheInitializeCache didn't lock the relation so there's no deadlock risk (though that certainly had plenty of risks of its own).
2008-03-05Include -lgss in libpq link, if available. Bjorn MunchTom Lane
2008-03-04Fix PREPARE TRANSACTION to reject the case where the transaction has dropped aTom Lane
temporary table; we can't support that because there's no way to clean up the source backend's internal state if the eventual COMMIT PREPARED is done by another backend. This was checked correctly in 8.1 but I broke it in 8.2 :-(. Patch by Heikki Linnakangas, original trouble report by John Smith.

2008-03-02Fixed bug that caused arrays of varchar to be output with incomplete name.Michael Meskes
2008-03-02Venezuela Time now means UTC-4:30, not UTC-4:00. Adjust our treatmentTom Lane
of "VET" accordingly. Per bug #3997 from Aaron Mizrachi.
2008-03-01Fix another place that was assuming that a local variable declared asTom Lane
"struct varlena" would be at least word-aligned. Per buildfarm results from gypsy_moth. I did a little bit of trawling for other instances of this coding pattern, and didn't find any; but if we turn up any more of them I think we'd better revert the "char [4]" patch and find another way of making tuptoaster.c alignment-safe.
2008-03-01Fix unportable usages of tolower(). On signed-char machines, it is necessaryTom Lane
to explicitly cast the output back to char before comparing it to a char value, else we get the wrong result for high-bit-set characters. Found by Rolf Jentsch. Also, fix several places where <ctype.h> functions were being called without casting the argument to unsigned char; this is likewise unportable, but we keep making that mistake :-(. These found by buildfarm member salamander, which I will desperately miss if it ever goes belly-up.
2008-03-01Disable the undocumented xmlvalidate() function, which was unintentionallyTom Lane
left in the code though it was not meant to be provided. It represents a security hole because unprivileged users could use it to look at (at least the first line of) any file readable by the backend. Fortunately, this is only possible if the backend was built with XML support, so the damage is at least mitigated; and 8.3 probably hasn't propagated into any security-critical uses yet anyway. Per report from Sergey Burladyan.
2008-02-29Don't call AddUserToDacl on CygwinAndrew Dunstan
2008-02-29Reducing the assumed alignment of struct varlena means that the compilerTom Lane
is also licensed to put a local variable declared that way at an unaligned address. Which will not work if the variable is then manipulated with SET_VARSIZE or other macros that assume alignment. So the previous patch is not an unalloyed good, but on balance I think it's still a win, since we have very few places that do that sort of thing. Fix the one place in tuptoaster.c that does it. Per buildfarm results from gypsy_moth (I'm a bit surprised that only one machine showed a failure).
2008-02-29Fix handling of restricted processes for Windows Vista (mainly),Magnus Hagander
by explicitly adding back the user to the DACL of the new process. This fixes the failure case when executing as the Administrator user, which had no permissions left at all after we dropped the Administrators group. Dave Page with some modifications from me
2008-02-29Fix several memory leaks when rescanning SRFs. Arrange for an SRF'sNeil Conway
"multi_call_ctx" to be a distinct sub-context of the EState's per-query context, and delete the multi_call_ctx as soon as the SRF finishes execution. This avoids leaking SRF memory until the end of the current query, which is particularly egregious when the SRF is scanned multiple times. This change also fixes a leak of the fields of the AttInMetadata struct in shutdown_MultiFuncCall(). Also fix a leak of the SRF result TupleDesc when rescanning a FunctionScan node. The TupleDesc is allocated in the per-query context for every call to ExecMakeTableFunctionResult(), so we should free it after calling that function. Since the SRF might choose to return a non-expendable TupleDesc, we only free the TupleDesc if it is not being reference-counted. Backpatch to 8.3 and 8.2 stable branches.
2008-02-28Support for building contrib/uuid-ossp with MSVC.Magnus Hagander
Original patch from Hiroshi Saito, modified by me.
2008-02-27If RelationBuildDesc() fails to open a critical system index, PANIC withTom Lane
a relevant error message instead of just dumping core. Odd that nobody reported this before Darren Reed.
2008-02-26Fix uninstall target.Peter Eisentraut
2008-02-26Fix encode(...bytea..., 'escape') so that it converts all high-bit-set byteTom Lane
values into \nnn octal escape sequences. When the database encoding is multibyte this is *necessary* to avoid generating invalidly encoded text. Even in a single-byte encoding, the old behavior seems very hazardous --- consider for example what happens if the text is transferred to another database with a different encoding. Decoding would then yield some other bytea value than what was encoded, which is surely undesirable. Per gripe from Hernan Gonzalez. Backpatch to 8.3, but not further. This is a bit of a judgment call, but I make it on these grounds: pre-8.3 we don't really have much encoding safety anyway because of the convert() function family, and we would also have much higher risk of breaking existing apps that may not be expecting this behavior. 8.3 is still new enough that we can probably get away with making this change in the function's behavior.
2008-02-25Fix datetime input to behave correctly for Feb 29 in years BC.Tom Lane
Formerly, DecodeDate attempted to verify the day-of-the-month exactly, but it was under the misapprehension that it would know whether we were looking at a BC year or not. In reality this check can't be made until the calling function (eg DecodeDateTime) has processed all the fields. So, split the BC adjustment and validity checks out into a new function ValidateDate that is called only after processing all the fields. In passing, this patch makes DecodeTimeOnly work for BC inputs, which it never did before. (The historical veracity of all this is nonexistent, of course, but if we're going to say we support proleptic Gregorian calendar then we should do it correctly. In any case the unpatched code is broken because it could emit dates that it would then reject on re-inputting.) Per report from Bernd Helmle. Back-patch as far as 8.0; in 7.x we were not using our own calendar support and so this seems a bit too risky to put into 7.4.
2008-02-23Avoid trying to print a NULL char pointer in --describe-config. On someTom Lane
platforms this works, but on some it crashes. Zdenek Kotala
2008-02-23Change the declaration of struct varlena so that the length word isTom Lane
represented as "char ...[4]" not "int32". Since the length word is never supposed to be accessed via this struct member anyway, this won't break any existing code that is following the rules. The advantage is that C compilers will no longer assume that a pointer to struct varlena is word-aligned, which prevents incorrect optimizations in TOAST-pointer access and perhaps other places. gcc doesn't seem to do this (at least not at -O2), but the problem is demonstrable on some other compilers. I changed struct inet as well, but didn't bother to touch a lot of other struct definitions in which it wouldn't make any difference because there were other fields forcing int alignment anyway. Hopefully none of those struct definitions are used for accessing unaligned Datums.
2008-02-20Fix mistakes in pg_ctl's code for "start -w" that tries to cope withTom Lane
non-default settings for the postmaster's port number. The code to parse command line options and postgresql.conf entries wasn't quite right about whitespace or quotes, and it was coded in a not-very-readable way too. Per bug #3969 from Itagaki Takahiro, though this is more extensive than his proposed patch (which fixed only the whitespace problem). This code has been broken since it was put in in 8.0, so patch all the way back.
2008-02-20Put a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call into the loops that try to find a unique newTom Lane
OID or new relfilenode. If the existing OIDs are sufficiently densely populated, this could take a long time (perhaps even be an infinite loop), so it seems wise to allow the system to respond to a cancel interrupt here. Per a gripe from Jacky Leng. Backpatch as far as 8.1. Older versions just fail on OID collision, instead of looping.
2008-02-20Change error message to be able to differentiate the two cases. Per suggestionAlvaro Herrera
from Jaime Casanova.
2008-02-18Remove unnecessary opening of other relation in RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_pkTom Lane
and RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_fk, as well as no-longer-needed calls of ri_BuildQueryKeyFull. Aside from saving a few cycles, this avoids needless deadlock risks when an update is not changing the columns that participate in an RI constraint. Per a gripe from Alexey Nalbat. Back-patch to 8.3. Earlier releases did have a need to open the other relation due to the way in which they retrieved information about the RI constraint, so this problem unfortunately can't easily be improved pre-8.3. Tom Lane and Stephan Szabo

2008-02-12Fix SPI_cursor_open() and SPI_is_cursor_plan() to push the SPI stack beforeTom Lane
doing anything interesting, such as calling RevalidateCachedPlan(). The necessity of this is demonstrated by an example from Willem Buitendyk: during a replan, the planner might try to evaluate SPI-using functions, and so we'd better be in a clean SPI context. A small downside of this fix is that these two functions will now fail outright if called when not inside a SPI-using procedure (ie, a SPI_connect/SPI_finish pair). The documentation never promised or suggested that that would work, though; and they are normally used in concert with other functions, mainly SPI_prepare, that always have failed in such a case. So the odds of breaking something seem pretty low. In passing, make SPI_is_cursor_plan's error handling convention clearer, and fix documentation's erroneous claim that SPI_cursor_open would return NULL on error. Before 8.3 these functions could not invoke replanning, so there is probably no need for back-patching.
2008-02-11Update timezone mapping for Windows with new timezones addedMagnus Hagander
in windows servicepacks. Fix timezone mapping for "Mexico 2"
2008-02-11Repair VACUUM FULL bug introduced by HOT patch: the original way ofTom Lane
calculating a page's initial free space was fine, and should not have been "improved" by letting PageGetHeapFreeSpace do it. VACUUM FULL is going to reclaim LP_DEAD line pointers later, so there is no need for a guard against the page being too full of line pointers, and having one risks rejecting pages that are perfectly good move destinations. This also exposed a second bug, which is that the empty_end_pages logic assumed that any page with no live tuples would get entered into the fraged_pages list automatically (by virtue of having more free space than the threshold in the do_frag calculation). This assumption certainly seems risky when a low fillfactor has been chosen, and even without tunable fillfactor I think it could conceivably fail on a page with many unused line pointers. So fix the code to force do_frag true when notup is true, and patch this part of the fix all the way back. Per report from Tomas Szepe.
2008-02-10Fix PageGetExactFreeSpace() so that it actually behaves sensiblyTom Lane
if pd_lower > pd_upper, rather than merely claiming to. This would only matter if the page header were corrupt, which shouldn't occur, but ...
2008-02-08Since GSSAPI and SSPI authentication don't work in protocol version 2,Tom Lane
issue a helpful error message instead of sending unparsable garbage. (It is clearly a design error that this doesn't work, but fixing it is not worth the trouble at this point.) Per discussion.
2008-02-07Avoid misbehavior in foreign key checks when casting to a datatype for whichTom Lane
the parser supplies a default typmod that can result in data loss (ie, truncation). Currently that appears to be only CHARACTER and BIT. We can avoid the problem by specifying the type's internal name instead of using SQL-spec syntax. Since the queries generated here are only used internally, there's no need to worry about portability. This problem is new in 8.3; before we just let the parser do whatever it wanted to resolve the operator, but 8.3 is trying to be sure that the semantics of FK checks are consistent. Per report from Harald Fuchs.
2008-02-07Some variants of ALTER OWNER tried to make the "object" field of theTom Lane
statement be a list of bare C strings, rather than String nodes, which is what they need to be for copyfuncs/equalfuncs to work. Fortunately these node types never go out to disk (if they did, we'd likely have noticed the problem sooner), so we can just fix it without creating a need for initdb. This bug has been there since 8.0, but 8.3 exposes it in a more common code path (Parse messages) than prior releases did. Per bug #3940 from Vladimir Kokovic.
2008-02-07Add missing copyfuncs/equalfuncs support for AlterTSDictionaryStmt andTom Lane
AlterTSConfigurationStmt. All utility statement node types are expected to be supported here, though they do not have to have outfuncs/readfuncs support. Found by running regression tests with COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES enabled.
