2012-03-13pg_dump: Fix some minor memory leaksPeter Eisentraut
Although we often don't care about freeing all memory in pg_dump, these functions already freed the same memory in other code paths, so we might as well do it consistently. found by Coverity
2012-03-13Patch some corner-case bugs in pl/python.Tom Lane
Dave Malcolm of Red Hat is working on a static code analysis tool for Python-related C code. It reported a number of problems in plpython, most of which were failures to check for NULL results from object-creation functions, so would only be an issue in very-low-memory situations. Patch in HEAD and 9.1. We could go further back but it's not clear that these issues are important enough to justify the work. Jan Urbański

We forgot to free the per-attribute array element descriptors. Jan Urbański
2012-03-13Create a stack of pl/python "execution contexts".Tom Lane
This replaces the former global variable PLy_curr_procedure, and provides a place to stash per-call-level information. In particular we create a per-call-level scratch memory context. For the moment, the scratch context is just used to avoid leaking memory from datatype output function calls in PLyDict_FromTuple. There probably will be more use-cases in future. Although this is a fix for a pre-existing memory leakage bug, it seems sufficiently invasive to not want to back-patch; it feels better as part of the major rearrangement of plpython code that we've already done as part of 9.2.

2012-03-12Fix SPGiST vacuum algorithm to handle concurrent tuple motion properly.Tom Lane
A leaf tuple that we need to delete could get moved as a consequence of an insertion happening concurrently with the VACUUM scan. If it moves from a page past the current scan point to a page before, we'll miss it, which is not acceptable. Hence, when we see a leaf-page REDIRECT that could have been made since our scan started, chase down the redirection pointer much as if we were doing a normal index search, and be sure to vacuum every page it leads to. This fixes the issue because, if the tuple was on page N at the instant we start our scan, we will surely find it as a consequence of chasing the redirect from page N, no matter how much it moves around in between. Problem noted by Takashi Yamamoto.

2012-03-11Make INSERT/UPDATE queries depend on their specific target columns.Tom Lane
We have always created a whole-table dependency for the target relation, but that's not really good enough, as it doesn't prevent scenarios such as dropping an individual target column or altering its type. So we have to create an individual dependency for each target column, as well. Per report from Bill MacArthur of a rule containing UPDATE breaking after such an alteration. Note that this patch doesn't try to make such cases work, only to ensure that the attempted ALTER TABLE throws an error telling you it can't cope with adjusting the rule. This is a long-standing bug, but given the lack of prior reports I'm not going to risk back-patching it. A back-patch wouldn't do anything to fix existing rules' dependency lists, anyway.
2012-03-11Teach SPGiST to store nulls and do whole-index scans.Tom Lane
This patch fixes the other major compatibility-breaking limitation of SPGiST, that it didn't store anything for null values of the indexed column, and so could not support whole-index scans or "x IS NULL" tests. The approach is to create a wholly separate search tree for the null entries, and use fixed "allTheSame" insertion and search rules when processing this tree, instead of calling the index opclass methods. This way the opclass methods do not need to worry about dealing with nulls. Catversion bump is for pg_am updates as well as the change in on-disk format of SPGiST indexes; there are some tweaks in SPGiST WAL records as well. Heavily rewritten version of a patch by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev. (The original also stored nulls separately, but it reused GIN code to do so; which required undesirable compromises in the on-disk format, and would likely lead to bugs due to the GIN code being required to work in two very different contexts.)
2012-03-11Add more detail to error message for invalid arguments for server processPeter Eisentraut
It now prints the argument that was at fault. Also fix a small misbehavior where the error message issued by getopt() would complain about a program named "--single", because that's what argv[0] is in the server process.
2012-03-10Restructure SPGiST opclass interface API to support whole-index scans.Tom Lane
The original API definition was incapable of supporting whole-index scans because there was no way to invoke leaf-value reconstruction without checking any qual conditions. Also, it was inefficient for multiple-qual-condition scans because value reconstruction got done over again for each qual condition, and because other internal work in the consistent functions likewise had to be done for each qual. To fix these issues, pass the whole scankey array to the opclass consistent functions, instead of only letting them see one item at a time. (Essentially, the loop over scankey entries is now inside the consistent functions not outside them. This makes the consistent functions a bit more complicated, but not unreasonably so.) In itself this commit does nothing except save a few cycles in multiple-qual-condition index scans, since we can't support whole-index scans on SPGiST indexes until nulls are included in the index. However, I consider this a must-fix for 9.2 because once we release it will get very much harder to change the opclass API definition.

2012-03-09Extend object access hook framework to support arguments, and DROP.Robert Haas
This allows loadable modules to get control at drop time, perhaps for the purpose of performing additional security checks or to log the event. The initial purpose of this code is to support sepgsql, but other applications should be possible as well. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by me.
2012-03-09Revise FDW planning API, again.Tom Lane
Further reflection shows that a single callback isn't very workable if we desire to let FDWs generate multiple Paths, because that forces the FDW to do all work necessary to generate a valid Plan node for each Path. Instead split the former PlanForeignScan API into three steps: GetForeignRelSize, GetForeignPaths, GetForeignPlan. We had already bit the bullet of breaking the 9.1 FDW API for 9.2, so this shouldn't cause very much additional pain, and it's substantially more flexible for complex FDWs. Add an fdw_private field to RelOptInfo so that the new functions can save state there rather than possibly having to recalculate information two or three times. In addition, we'd not thought through what would be needed to allow an FDW to set up subexpressions of its choice for runtime execution. We could treat ForeignScan.fdw_private as an executable expression but that seems likely to break existing FDWs unnecessarily (in particular, it would restrict the set of node types allowable in fdw_private to those supported by expression_tree_walker). Instead, invent a separate field fdw_exprs which will receive the postprocessing appropriate for expression trees. (One field is enough since it can be a list of expressions; also, we assume the corresponding expression state tree(s) will be held within fdw_state, so we don't need to add anything to ForeignScanState.) Per review of Hanada Shigeru's pgsql_fdw patch. We may need to tweak this further as we continue to work on that patch, but to me it feels a lot closer to being right now.

2012-03-08Fix some issues with temp/transient tables in extension scripts.Tom Lane
Phil Sorber reported that a rewriting ALTER TABLE within an extension update script failed, because it creates and then drops a placeholder table; the drop was being disallowed because the table was marked as an extension member. We could hack that specific case but it seems likely that there might be related cases now or in the future, so the most practical solution seems to be to create an exception to the general rule that extension member objects can only be dropped by dropping the owning extension. To wit: if the DROP is issued within the extension's own creation or update scripts, we'll allow it, implicitly performing an "ALTER EXTENSION DROP object" first. This will simplify cases such as extension downgrade scripts anyway. No docs change since we don't seem to have documented the idea that you would need ALTER EXTENSION DROP for such an action to begin with. Also, arrange for explicitly temporary tables to not get linked as extension members in the first place, and the same for the magic pg_temp_nnn schemas that are created to hold them. This prevents assorted unpleasant results if an extension script creates a temp table: the forced drop at session end would either fail or remove the entire extension, and neither of those outcomes is desirable. Note that this doesn't fix the ALTER TABLE scenario, since the placeholder table is not temp (unless the table being rewritten is). Back-patch to 9.1.

2012-03-07Improve estimation of IN/NOT IN by assuming array elements are distinct.Tom Lane
In constructs such as "x IN (1,2,3,4)" and "x <> ALL(ARRAY[1,2,3,4])", we formerly always used a general-purpose assumption that the probability of success is independent for each comparison of "x" to an array element. But in real-world usage of these constructs, that's a pretty poor assumption; it's much saner to assume that the array elements are distinct and so the match probabilities are disjoint. Apply that assumption if the operator appears to behave as equality (for ANY) or inequality (for ALL). But fall back to the normal independent-probabilities calculation if this yields an impossible result, ie probability > 1 or < 0. We could protect ourselves against bad estimates even more by explicitly checking for equal array elements, but that is expensive and doesn't seem worthwhile: doing it would amount to optimizing for poorly-written queries at the expense of well-written ones. Daniele Varrazzo and Tom Lane, after a suggestion by Ants Aasma
2012-03-07Fix indentation of \d footers for non-ASCII cases.Tom Lane
Multi-line "Inherits:" and "Child tables:" footers were misindented when those strings' translations involved multibyte characters, because we were using strlen() instead of an appropriate display width measurement. In passing, avoid doing gettext() more than once per loop in these places. While at it, fix pg_wcswidth(), which has been entirely broken since about 8.2, but fortunately has been unused for the same length of time. Report and patch by Sergey Burladyan (bug #6480)
2012-03-07Add GetForeignColumnOptions() to foreign.c, and add some documentation.Tom Lane
GetForeignColumnOptions provides some abstraction for accessing column-specific FDW options, on a par with the access functions that were already provided here for other FDW-related information. Adjust file_fdw.c to use GetForeignColumnOptions instead of equivalent hand-rolled code. In addition, add some SGML documentation for the functions exported by foreign.c that are meant for use by FDW authors. (This is the fdw_helper portion of the proposed pgsql_fdw patch.)

In expanded auto mode, a lot of allocated memory was not cleaned up. found by Coverity
2012-03-07psql: Fix invalid memory accessPeter Eisentraut
Due to an apparent thinko, when printing a table in expanded mode (\x), space would be allocated for 1 slot plus 1 byte per line, instead of 1 slot per line plus 1 slot for the NULL terminator. When the line count is small, reading or writing the terminator would therefore access memory beyond what was allocated.

2012-03-07Expose an API for calculating catcache hash values.Tom Lane
Now that cache invalidation callbacks get only a hash value, and not a tuple TID (per commits 632ae6829f7abda34e15082c91d9dfb3fc0f298b and b5282aa893e565b7844f8237462cb843438cdd5e), the only way they can restrict what they invalidate is to know what the hash values mean. setrefs.c was doing this via a hard-wired assumption but that seems pretty grotty, and it'll only get worse as more cases come up. So let's expose a calculation function that takes the same parameters as SearchSysCache. Per complaint from Marko Kreen.

2012-03-06Add a hook for processing messages due to be sent to the server log.Tom Lane
Use-cases for this include custom log filtering rules and custom log message transmission mechanisms (for instance, lossy log message collection, which has been discussed several times recently). As is our common practice for hooks, there's no regression test nor user-facing documentation for this, though the author did exhibit a sample module using the hook.

safe to call concurrently from multiple processes.
2012-03-06Remove extra copies of LogwrtResult.Heikki Linnakangas
This simplifies the code a little bit. The new rule is that to update XLogCtl->LogwrtResult, you must hold both WALWriteLock and info_lck, whereas before we had two copies, one that was protected by WALWriteLock and another protected by info_lck. The code that updates them was already holding both locks, so merging the two is trivial. The third copy, XLogCtl->Insert.LogwrtResult, was not totally redundant, it was used in AdvanceXLInsertBuffer to update the backend-local copy, before acquiring the info_lck to read the up-to-date value. But the value of that seems dubious; at best it's saving one spinlock acquisition per completed WAL page, which is not significant compared to all the other work involved. And in practice, it's probably not saving even that much.
2012-03-06Simplify the way changes to full_page_writes are logged.Heikki Linnakangas
It's harmless to do full page writes even when not strictly necessary, so when turning full_page_writes on, we can set the global flag first, and then call XLogInsert. Likewise, when turning it off, we can write the WAL record first, and then clear the flag. This way XLogInsert doesn't need any special handling of the XLOG_FPW_CHANGE record type. XLogInsert is complicated enough already, so anything we can keep away from there is a good thing. Actually I don't think the atomicity of the shared memory flag matters, anyway, because we only write the XLOG_FPW_CHANGE at the end of recovery, when there are no concurrent WAL insertions going on. But might as well make it safe, in case we allow changing full_page_writes on the fly in the future.
2012-03-05Redesign PlanForeignScan API to allow multiple paths for a foreign table.Tom Lane
The original API specification only allowed an FDW to create a single access path, which doesn't seem like a terribly good idea in hindsight. Instead, move the responsibility for building the Path node and calling add_path() into the FDW's PlanForeignScan function. Now, it can do that more than once if appropriate. There is no longer any need for the transient FdwPlan struct, so get rid of that. Etsuro Fujita, Shigeru Hanada, Tom Lane

2012-03-04Rewrite GiST support code for rangetypes.Tom Lane
This patch installs significantly smarter penalty and picksplit functions for ranges, making GiST indexes for them smaller and faster to search. There is no on-disk format change, so no catversion bump, but you'd need to REINDEX to get the benefits for any existing index. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Jeff Davis
2012-03-04Remove useless "rough estimate" path from mcelem_array_contained_selec.Tom Lane
The code in this function that tried to cope with a missing count histogram was quite ineffective for anything except a perfectly flat distribution. Furthermore, since we were already punting for missing MCELEM slot, it's rather useless to sweat over missing DECHIST: there are no cases where ANALYZE will create the first but not the second. So just simplify the code by punting rather than pretending we can do something useful.
2012-03-04Improve histogram-filling loop in new compute_array_stats() code.Tom Lane

2012-03-03Collect and use element-frequency statistics for arrays.Tom Lane
This patch improves selectivity estimation for the array <@, &&, and @> (containment and overlaps) operators. It enables collection of statistics about individual array element values by ANALYZE, and introduces operator-specific estimators that use these stats. In addition, ScalarArrayOpExpr constructs of the forms "const = ANY/ALL (array_column)" and "const <> ANY/ALL (array_column)" are estimated by treating them as variants of the containment operators. Since we still collect scalar-style stats about the array values as a whole, the pg_stats view is expanded to show both these stats and the array-style stats in separate columns. This creates an incompatible change in how stats for tsvector columns are displayed in pg_stats: the stats about lexemes are now displayed in the array-related columns instead of the original scalar-related columns. There are a few loose ends here, notably that it'd be nice to be able to suppress either the scalar-style stats or the array-element stats for columns for which they're not useful. But the patch is in good enough shape to commit for wider testing. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Noah Misch and Nathan Boley

2012-03-03Allow CREATE TABLE (LIKE ...) from composite typePeter Eisentraut
The only reason this didn't work before was that parserOpenTable() rejects composite types. So use relation_openrv() directly and manually do the errposition() setup that parserOpenTable() does.
2012-03-02Fix incorrect uses of gzFilePeter Eisentraut
gzFile is already a pointer, so code like gzFile *handle = gzopen(...) is wrong. This used to pass silently because gzFile used to be defined as void*, and you can assign a void* to a void**. But somewhere between zlib versions 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.6, the definition of gzFile was changed to struct gzFile_s *, and with that new definition this usage causes compiler warnings. So remove all those extra pointer decorations. There is a related issue in pg_backup_archiver.h, where FILE *FH; /* General purpose file handle */ is used throughout pg_dump as sometimes a real FILE* and sometimes a gzFile handle, which also causes warnings now. This is not yet fixed here, because it might need more code restructuring.
2012-03-02Re-add "make check" target in src/test/isolation/MakefilePeter Eisentraut
This effectively reverts 7886cc73ad12fb9b5a729b6c8152f11a309f5d65, which was done under the impression that isolationtester needs libpq, which it no longer does (and never really did).
2012-03-02Allow child-relation entries to be made in ec_has_const EquivalenceClasses.Tom Lane
This fixes an oversight in commit 11cad29c91524aac1d0b61e0ea0357398ab79bf8, which introduced MergeAppend plans. Before that happened, we never particularly cared about the sort ordering of scans of inheritance child relations, since appending their outputs together would destroy any ordering anyway. But now it's important to be able to match child relation sort orderings to those of the surrounding query. The original coding of add_child_rel_equivalences skipped ec_has_const EquivalenceClasses, on the originally-correct grounds that adding child expressions to them was useless. The effect of this is that when a parent variable is equated to a constant, we can't recognize that index columns on the equivalent child variables are not sort-significant; that is, we can't recognize that a child index on, say, (x, y) is able to generate output in "ORDER BY y" order when there is a clause "WHERE x = constant". Adding child expressions to the (x, constant) EquivalenceClass fixes this, without any downside that I can see other than a few more planner cycles expended on such queries. Per recent gripe from Robert McGehee. Back-patch to 9.1 where MergeAppend was introduced.

2012-03-02When a GiST page is split during index build, it might not have a buffer.Heikki Linnakangas
Previously it was thought that it's impossible as the code stands, because insertions create buffers as tuples are cascaded downwards, and index split also creaters buffers eagerly for all halves. But the example from Jay Levitt demonstrates that it can happen, when the root page is split. It's in fact OK if the buffer doesn't exist, so we just need to remove the sanity check. In fact, we've been discussing the possibility of destroying empty buffers to conserve memory, which would render the sanity check completely useless anyway. Fix by Alexander Korotkov
