2014-09-05Add tab-completion for reloptions like user_catalog_table.Fujii Masao
Back-patch to 9.4 where user_catalog_table was added. Review by Michael Paquier
2014-09-05Fix segmentation fault that an empty prepared statement could cause.Fujii Masao
Back-patch to all supported branches. Per bug #11335 from Haruka Takatsuka

2014-09-01Declare lwlock.c's LWLockAcquireCommon() as a static inline.Andres Freund
68a2e52bbaf98f136 has introduced LWLockAcquireCommon() containing the previous contents of LWLockAcquire() plus added functionality. The latter then calls it, just like LWLockAcquireWithVar(). Because the majority of callers don't need the added functionality, declare the common code as inline. The compiler then can optimize away the unused code. Doing so is also useful when looking at profiles, to differentiate the users. Backpatch to 9.4, the first branch to contain LWLockAcquireCommon().
2014-08-29pg_is_xlog_replay_paused(): remove super-user-only restrictionBruce Momjian
Also update docs to mention which function are super-user-only. Report by sys-milan@statpro.com Backpatch through 9.4
2014-08-29Fix bug in compressed GIN data leaf page splitting code.Heikki Linnakangas
The list of posting lists it's dealing with can contain placeholders for deleted posting lists. The placeholders are kept around so that they can be WAL-logged, but we must be careful to not try to access them. This fixes bug #11280, reported by Mårten Svantesson. Backpatch to 9.4, where the compressed data leaf page code was added.

2014-08-27Fix FOR UPDATE NOWAIT on updated tuple chainsAlvaro Herrera
If SELECT FOR UPDATE NOWAIT tries to lock a tuple that is concurrently being updated, it might fail to honor its NOWAIT specification and block instead of raising an error. Fix by adding a no-wait flag to EvalPlanQualFetch which it can pass down to heap_lock_tuple; also use it in EvalPlanQualFetch itself to avoid blocking while waiting for a concurrent transaction. Authors: Craig Ringer and Thomas Munro, tweaked by Álvaro http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/51FB6703.9090801@2ndquadrant.com Per Thomas Munro in the course of his SKIP LOCKED feature submission, who also provided one of the isolation test specs. Backpatch to 9.4, because that's as far back as it applies without conflicts (although the bug goes all the way back). To that branch also backpatch Thomas Munro's new NOWAIT test cases, committed in master by Heikki as commit 9ee16b49f0aac819bd4823d9b94485ef608b34e8 .
2014-08-26Fix Var handling for security barrier viewsStephen Frost
In some cases, not all Vars were being correctly marked as having been modified for updatable security barrier views, which resulted in invalid plans (eg: when security barrier views were created over top of inheiritance structures). In passing, be sure to update both varattno and varonattno, as _equalVar won't consider the Vars identical otherwise. This isn't known to cause any issues with updatable security barrier views, but was noticed as missing while working on RLS and makes sense to get fixed. Back-patch to 9.4 where updatable security barrier views were introduced.
2014-08-26Fix superuser concurrent refresh of matview owned by another.Kevin Grittner
Use SECURITY_LOCAL_USERID_CHANGE while building temporary tables; only escalate to SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION while potentially running user-supplied code. The more secure mode was preventing temp table creation. Add regression tests to cover this problem. This fixes Bug #11208 reported by Bruno Emanuel de Andrade Silva. Backpatch to 9.4, where the bug was introduced.
2014-08-25Revert XactLockTableWait context setup in conditional multixact waitAlvaro Herrera
There's no point in setting up a context error callback when doing conditional lock acquisition, because we never actually wait and so the able wouldn't be able to see it. Backpatch to 9.4, where this was added.
2014-08-23doc: Improve pg_restore help outputPeter Eisentraut
Add a note that some options can be specified multiple times to select multiple objects to restore. This replaces the somewhat confusing use of plurals in the option descriptions themselves.
2014-08-22Fix outdated commentAlvaro Herrera
2014-08-22Fix corner-case behaviors in JSON/JSONB field extraction operators.Tom Lane
Cause the path extraction operators to return their lefthand input, not NULL, if the path array has no elements. This seems more consistent since the case ought to correspond to applying the simple extraction operator (->) zero times. Cause other corner cases in field/element/path extraction to return NULL rather than failing. This behavior is arguably more useful than throwing an error, since it allows an expression index using these operators to be built even when not all values in the column are suitable for the extraction being indexed. Moreover, we already had multiple inconsistencies between the path extraction operators and the simple extraction operators, as well as inconsistencies between the JSON and JSONB code paths. Adopt a uniform rule of returning NULL rather than throwing an error when the JSON input does not have a structure that permits the request to be satisfied. Back-patch to 9.4. Update the release notes to list this as a behavior change since 9.3.
2014-08-22Fix comment in pg_basebackup.Heikki Linnakangas
The option is called --tablespace-mapping, not --tablespace. Amit Kapila
2014-08-22Change the way pg_basebackup's tablespace mapping is implemented.Heikki Linnakangas
Previously, we would first create the symlinks the way they are in the original system, and at the end replace them with the mapped symlinks. That never really made much sense, so now we create the symlink pointing to the correct location to begin with, so that there's no need to fix them at the end. The old coding didn't work correctly on Windows, because Windows junction points look more like directories than files, and ought to be removed with rmdir rather than unlink. Also, it incorrectly used "%d" rather than "%u" to print an Oid, but that's gone now. Report and patch by Amit Kapila, with minor changes by me. Reviewed by MauMau. Backpatch to 9.4, where the --tablespace feature was added.
2014-08-21Rework 'MOVE ALL' to 'ALTER .. ALL IN TABLESPACE'Stephen Frost
As 'ALTER TABLESPACE .. MOVE ALL' really didn't change the tablespace but instead changed objects inside tablespaces, it made sense to rework the syntax and supporting functions to operate under the 'ALTER (TABLE|INDEX|MATERIALIZED VIEW)' syntax and to be in tablecmds.c. Pointed out by Alvaro, who also suggested the new syntax. Back-patch to 9.4.
2014-08-20More regression test cases for json/jsonb extraction operators.Tom Lane
Cover some cases I omitted before, such as null and empty-string elements in the path array. This exposes another inconsistency: json_extract_path complains about empty path elements but jsonb_extract_path does not.
2014-08-20Fix core dump in jsonb #> operator, and add regression test cases.Tom Lane
jsonb's #> operator segfaulted (dereferencing a null pointer) if the RHS was a zero-length array, as reported in bug #11207 from Justin Van Winkle. json's #> operator returns NULL in such cases, so for the moment let's make jsonb act likewise. Also add a bunch of regression test queries memorializing the -> and #> operators' behavior for this and other corner cases. There is a good argument for changing some of these behaviors, as they are not very consistent with each other, and throwing an error isn't necessarily a desirable behavior for operators that are likely to be used in indexes. However, everybody can agree that a core dump is the Wrong Thing, and we need test cases even if we decide to change their expected output later.
2014-08-19Revert "Fix bug in checking of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM result."Fujii Masao
This reverts commit 083d29c65b7897f90c70e6dc0a4240a5fa75c8f2. The commit changed the code so that it causes an errors when IDENTIFY_SYSTEM returns three columns. But which prevents us from using the replication-related utilities against the server with older version. This is not what we want. For that compatibility, we allow the utilities to receive three columns as the result of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM eventhough it actually returns four columns in 9.4 or later. Pointed out by Andres Freund.
2014-08-19Fix bug in checking of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM result.Fujii Masao
5a991ef8692ed0d170b44958a81a6bd70e90585 added new column into the result of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM command. But it was not reflected into several codes checking that result. Specifically though the number of columns in the result was increased to 4, it was still compared with 3 in some replication codes. Back-patch to 9.4 where the number of columns in IDENTIFY_SYSTEM result was increased. Report from Michael Paquier
2014-08-18Install libpq DLL with $(INSTALL_SHLIB).Noah Misch
Programs need execute permission on a DLL file to load it. MSYS "install" ignores the mode argument, and our Cygwin build statically links libpq into programs. That explains the lack of buildfarm trouble. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
2014-08-18Revert psql changes to support wrapped expanded mode. That feature isGreg Stark
nice and we'll keep it in 9.5 but it'll take more time to iron out the collateral damage on other queries and also on tools like check_postgres. revert dbe31616c9be7380b8a88cdfbeaa68dbdcdebc36 revert 6513633b94173fc1d9e2b213c43f9422ddbf5faa
2014-08-17Use ISO 8601 format for dates converted to JSON, too.Tom Lane
Commit f30015b6d794c15d52abbb3df3a65081fbefb1ed made this happen for timestamp and timestamptz, but it seems pretty inconsistent to not do it for simple dates as well. (In passing, I re-pgindent'd json.c.)
2014-08-16Fix bogus return macros in range_overright_internal().Tom Lane
PG_RETURN_BOOL() should only be used in functions following the V1 SQL function API. This coding accidentally fails to fail since letting the compiler coerce the Datum representation of bool back to plain bool does give the right answer; but that doesn't make it a good idea. Back-patch to older branches just to avoid unnecessary code divergence.
2014-08-16Fix bogus commutator/negator links for JSONB containment operators.Tom Lane
<@ and @> are each other's commutators, but they were incorrectly marked as being each other's negators instead. (This was actually questioned in a comment in the original commit, but nobody followed through :-(.) Per bug #11178 from Christian Pronovost. In passing, fix some JSONB operator descriptions that were randomly different from the phrasing of every other similar description. catversion bump for pg_catalog contents change.
2014-08-15Remove remnants of a JENTRY_ISFIRST flag bit.Heikki Linnakangas
I removed the flag earlier, but missed a few references in jsonb.h.
2014-08-15Set shared library path for in-tree TAP testsPeter Eisentraut
When the TAP tests are run in-tree (make check), set the shared library path using the appropriate environment variable, using a logic similar to pg_regress, so that the right libraries are used.
2014-08-14Fix help message in pg_ctl.Fujii Masao
Previously the help message described that -m is an option for "stop", "restart" and "promote" commands in pg_ctl. But actually that's not an option for "promote". So this commit fixes that incorrect description in the help message. Back-patch to 9.3 where the incorrect description was added.
2014-08-13Expose -S option in pg_receivexlog.Fujii Masao
This option is equivalent to --slot option which pg_receivexlog has already supported, which specifies the replication slot to use for WAL streaming. pg_recvlogical has already supported both options, and this commit makes pg_receivexlog consistent with pg_recvlogical regarding the slot option. Back-patch to 9.4 where the slot option was added. Michael Paquier
2014-08-12pg_recvlogical message and code improvements.Andres Freund
Some error messages complained about --init and --stop being used whereas the --create and --drop are the correct verbs. Fix that. Also a XLogRecPtr was tested in a boolean fashion instead of being compared to InvalidXLogRecPtr. Backpatch to 9.4 where pg_recvlogical was introduced. Michael Paquier
2014-08-12Be less aggressive in asking for feedback of logical walsender clients.Andres Freund
When doing logical decoding using START_LOGICAL_REPLICATION in a walsender process the walsender sometimes was sending out keepalive messages too frequently. Asking for feedback every time. WalSndWaitForWal() sends out keepalive messages when it's waiting for new WAL to be generated locally when it sees that the remote side hasn't yet flushed WAL up to the local position. That generally is good but causes problems if the remote side only writes but doesn't flush changes yet. So check for both remote write and flush position. Additionally we've asked for feedback to the keepalive message which isn't warranted when waiting for WAL in contrast to preventing timeouts because of wal_sender_timeout. Complaint and patch by Steve Singer.
2014-08-12Change first call of ProcessConfigFile so as to process only data_directory.Fujii Masao
When both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf have their own entry of the same parameter, PostgreSQL uses the entry in postgresql.auto.conf because it appears last in the configuration scan. IOW, the other entries which appear earlier are ignored. But, previously, ProcessConfigFile() detected the invalid settings of even those unused entries and emitted the error messages complaining about them, at postmaster startup. Complaining about the entries to ignore is basically useless. This problem happened because ProcessConfigFile() was called twice at postmaster startup and the first call read only postgresql.conf. That is, the first call could check the entry which might be ignored eventually by the second call which read both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf. To work around the problem, this commit changes ProcessConfigFile so that its first call processes only data_directory and the second one does all the entries. It's OK to process data_directory in the first call because it's ensured that data_directory doesn't exist in postgresql.auto.conf. Back-patch to 9.4 where postgresql.auto.conf was added. Patch by me. Review by Amit Kapila
2014-08-09Clean up handling of unknown-type inputs in json_build_object and friends.Tom Lane
There's actually no need for any special case for unknown-type literals, since we only need to push the value through its output function and unknownout() works fine. The code that was here was completely bizarre anyway, and would fail outright in cases that should work, not to mention suffering from some copy-and-paste bugs.
2014-08-09Further cleanup of JSON-specific error messages.Tom Lane
Fix an obvious typo in json_build_object()'s complaint about invalid number of arguments, and make the errhint a bit more sensible too. Per discussion about how to word the improved hint, change the few places in the documentation that refer to JSON object field names as "names" to say "keys" instead, since that's what we've said in the vast majority of places in the docs. Arguably "name" is more correct, since that's the terminology used in RFC 7159; but we're stuck with "key" in view of the naming of json_object_keys() so let's at least be self-consistent. I adjusted a few code comments to match this as well, and failed to resist the temptation to clean up some odd whitespace choices in the same area, as well as a useless duplicate PG_ARGISNULL() check. There's still quite a bit of code that uses the phrase "field name" in non-user- visible ways, so I left those usages alone.
2014-08-09Reject duplicate column names in foreign key referenced-columns lists.Tom Lane
Such cases are disallowed by the SQL spec, and even if we wanted to allow them, the semantics seem ambiguous: how should the FK columns be matched up with the columns of a unique index? (The matching could be significant in the presence of opclasses with different notions of equality, so this issue isn't just academic.) However, our code did not previously reject such cases, but instead would either fail to match to any unique index, or generate a bizarre opclass-lookup error because of sloppy thinking in the index-matching code.

2014-08-07pg_upgrade: prevent oid conflicts with new-cluster TOAST tablesBruce Momjian
Previously, TOAST tables only required in the new cluster could cause oid conflicts if they were auto-numbered and a later conflicting oid had to be assigned. Backpatch through 9.3
2014-08-07Fix alternate regression test output file.Robert Haas
Commit 930e8ad738f5c78abd667626ca86f2553f36356f broke this. Jeff Janes
2014-08-06Change ParseConfigFp() so that it doesn't process unused entry of each ↵Fujii Masao
parameter. When more than one setting entries of same parameter exist in the configuration file, PostgreSQL uses only entry appearing last in configuration file scan. Since the other entries are not used, ParseConfigFp() doesn't need to process them, but previously it did that. This problematic behavior caused the configuration file scan to detect invalid settings of unused entries (e.g., existence of multiple entries of PGC_POSTMASTER parameter) and log the messages complaining about them. This commit changes the configuration file scan so that it processes only last entry of each parameter. Note that when multiple entries of same parameter exist both in postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf, unused entries in postgresql.conf are still processed only at postmaster startup. The problem has existed since old version, but a user is more likely to encounter it since 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM command was introduced. So back-patch to 9.4. Amit Kapila, slightly modified by me. Per report from Christoph Berg.
2014-08-05Improve some JSON error messages.Robert Haas
These messages are new in 9.4, which hasn't been released yet, so back-patch to REL9_4_STABLE. Daniele Varrazzo
2014-08-02Add missing PQclear() calls into pg_receivexlog.Fujii Masao
Back-patch to 9.3.
2014-08-02Fix bug in pg_receivexlog --verbose.Fujii Masao
In 9.2, pg_receivexlog with verbose option has emitted the messages at the end of each WAL file. But the commit 0b63291 suppressed such messages by mistake. This commit fixes the bug so that pg_receivexlog --verbose outputs such messages again. Back-patch to 9.3 where the bug was added.
2014-07-30Avoid wholesale autovacuuming when autovacuum is nominally off.Tom Lane
When autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovac workers to vacuum tables that are at risk of XID wraparound. But after we'd done that, an autovac worker would proceed to autovacuum every table in the targeted database, if they meet the usual thresholds for autovacuuming. This is at best pretty unexpected; at worst it delays response to the wraparound threat. Fix it so that if autovacuum is nominally off, we *only* do forced vacuums and not any other work. Per gripe from Andrey Zhidenkov. This has been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-07-30Fix mishandling of background worker PGPROCs in EXEC_BACKEND builds.Robert Haas
InitProcess() relies on IsBackgroundWorker to decide whether the PGPROC for a new backend should be taken from ProcGlobal's freeProcs or from bgworkerFreeProcs. In EXEC_BACKEND builds, InitProcess() is called sooner than in non-EXEC_BACKEND builds, and IsBackgroundWorker wasn't getting initialized soon enough. Report by Noah Misch. Diagnosis and fix by me.
2014-07-29Oops, fix recoveryStopsBefore functions for regular commits.Heikki Linnakangas
Pointed out by Tom Lane. Backpatch to 9.4, the code was structured differently in earlier branches and didn't have this mistake.
2014-07-29Treat 2PC commit/abort the same as regular xacts in recovery.Heikki Linnakangas
There were several oversights in recovery code where COMMIT/ABORT PREPARED records were ignored: * pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() (wasn't updated for 2PC commits) * recovery_min_apply_delay (2PC commits were applied immediately) * recovery_target_xid (recovery would not stop if the XID used 2PC) The first of those was reported by Sergiy Zuban in bug #11032, analyzed by Tom Lane and Andres Freund. The bug was always there, but was masked before commit d19bd29f07aef9e508ff047d128a4046cc8bc1e2, because COMMIT PREPARED always created an extra regular transaction that was WAL-logged. Backpatch to all supported versions (older versions didn't have all the features and therefore didn't have all of the above bugs).
2014-07-28Fix obsolete statement in smgr/README.Tom Lane
Since commit 2d00190495b22e0d0ba351b2cda9c95fb2e3d083, fork numbers are defined in relpath.h not relfilenode.h. Fabrízio de Royes Mello
2014-07-25Fix a performance problem in pg_dump's dump order selection logic.Tom Lane
findDependencyLoops() was not bright about cases where there are multiple dependency paths between the same two dumpable objects. In most scenarios this did not hurt us too badly; but since the introduction of section boundary pseudo-objects in commit a1ef01fe163b304760088e3e30eb22036910a495, it was possible for this code to take unreasonable amounts of time (tens of seconds on a database with a couple thousand objects), as reported in bug #11033 from Joe Van Dyk. Joe's particular problem scenario involved "pg_dump -a" mode with long chains of foreign key constraints, but I think that similar problems could arise with other situations as long as there were enough objects. To fix, add a flag array that lets us notice when we arrive at the same object again while searching from a given start object. This simple change seems to be enough to eliminate the performance problem. Back-patch to 9.1, like the patch that introduced section boundary objects.
