2010-07-31Tweak tsmatchsel() so that it examines the structure of the tsquery wheneverTom Lane
possible (ie, whenever the tsquery is a constant), even when no statistics are available for the tsvector. For example, foo @@ 'a & b'::tsquery can be expected to be more selective than foo @@ 'a'::tsquery, whether or not we know anything about foo. We use DEFAULT_TS_MATCH_SEL as the assumed selectivity of individual query terms when no stats are available, then combine the terms according to the query's AND/OR structure as usual. Per experimentation with Artur Dabrowski's example. (The fact that there are no stats available in that example is a problem in itself, but nonetheless tsmatchsel should be smarter about the case.) Back-patch to 8.4 to keep all versions of tsmatchsel() in sync.
2010-07-31Rewrite the key-combination logic in GIN's keyGetItem() and scanGetItem()Tom Lane
routines to make them behave better in the presence of "lossy" index pointers. The previous coding was outright incorrect for some cases, as recently reported by Artur Dabrowski: scanGetItem would fail to return index entries in cases where one index key had multiple exact pointers on the same page as another key had a lossy pointer. Also, keyGetItem was extremely inefficient for cases where a single index key generates multiple "entry" streams, such as an @@ operator with a multiple-clause tsquery. The presence of a lossy page pointer in any one stream defeated its ability to use the opclass consistentFn, resulting in probing many heap pages that didn't really need to be visited. In Artur's example case, a query like WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a & b') was about 50X slower than the theoretically equivalent WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a') AND tsvector @@ to_tsquery('b') The way that I chose to fix this was to have GIN call the consistentFn twice with both TRUE and FALSE values for the in-doubt entry stream, returning a hit if either call produces TRUE, but not if they both return FALSE. The code handles this for the case of a single in-doubt entry stream, but punts (falling back to the stupid behavior) if there's more than one lossy reference to the same page. The idea could be scaled up to deal with multiple lossy references, but I think that would probably be wasted complexity. At least to judge by Artur's example, such cases don't occur often enough to be worth trying to optimize. Back-patch to 8.4. 8.3 did not have lossy GIN index pointers, so not subject to these problems.
2010-07-30tag for beta4REL9_0_BETA4Marc G. Fournier
2010-07-29Improved version of patch to protect pg_get_expr() against misuse:Tom Lane
look through join alias Vars to avoid breaking join queries, and move the test to someplace where it will catch more possible ways of calling a function. We still ought to throw away the whole thing in favor of a data-type-based solution, but that's not feasible in the back branches. This needs to be back-patched further than 9.0, but I don't have time to do so today. Committing now so that the fix gets into 9.0beta4.
2010-07-29Clean up some inconsistencies in the volatility marking of various I/OTom Lane
related functions. Per today's discussion, we will henceforth assume that datatype I/O functions are either stable or immutable, never volatile. (This implies in particular that domain CHECK constraint expressions shouldn't be volatile, since domain_in executes them.) In turn, functions that execute the I/O functions of arbitrary datatypes should always be labeled stable. This affects the labeling of array_to_string, which was unsafely marked immutable, and record_in, record_out, record_recv, record_send, domain_in, domain_recv, which were over-conservatively marked volatile. The array I/O functions were already marked stable, which is correct per this policy but would have been wrong if we maintained domain_in as volatile. Back-patch to 9.0, along with an earlier fix to correctly mark cash_in and cash_out as stable not immutable (since they depend on lc_monetary). No catversion bump --- the implications of this are not currently severe enough to justify a forced initdb.
2010-07-29Translation updates for 9.0beta4Peter Eisentraut
2010-07-29Fix another longstanding problem in copy_relation_data: it was blithelyTom Lane
assuming that a local char[] array would be aligned on at least a word boundary. There are architectures on which that is pretty much guaranteed to NOT be the case ... and those arches also don't like non-aligned memory accesses, meaning that log_newpage() would crash if it ever got invoked. Even on Intel-ish machines there's a potential for a large performance penalty from doing I/O to an inadequately aligned buffer. So palloc it instead. Backpatch to 8.0 --- 7.4 doesn't have this code.
2010-07-29Fix possible page corruption by ALTER TABLE .. SET TABLESPACE.Robert Haas
If a zeroed page is present in the heap, ALTER TABLE .. SET TABLESPACE will set the LSN and TLI while copying it, which is wrong, and heap_xlog_newpage() will do the same thing during replay, so the corruption propagates to any standby. Note, however, that the bug can't be demonstrated unless archiving is enabled, since in that case we skip WAL logging altogether, and the LSN/TLI are not set. Back-patch to 8.0; prior releases do not have tablespaces. Analysis and patch by Jeff Davis. Adjustments for back-branches and minor wordsmithing by me.
2010-07-28Fix oversight in new EvalPlanQual logic: the second loop over the ExecRowMarkTom Lane
list in ExecLockRows() forgot to allow for the possibility that some of the rowmarks are for child tables that aren't relevant to the current row. Per report from Kenichiro Tanaka.
2010-07-28Fix potential failure when hashing the output of a subplan that producesTom Lane
a pass-by-reference datatype with a nontrivial projection step. We were using the same memory context for the projection operation as for the temporary context used by the hashtable routines in execGrouping.c. However, the hashtable routines feel free to reset their temp context at any time, which'd lead to destroying input data that was still needed. Report and diagnosis by Tao Ma. Back-patch to 8.1, where the problem was introduced by the changes that allowed us to work with "virtual" tuples instead of materializing intermediate tuple values everywhere. The earlier code looks quite similar, but it doesn't suffer the problem because the data gets copied into another context as a result of having to materialize ExecProject's output tuple.
2010-07-28Show psql timing output even in quiet modePeter Eisentraut
These two settings ought to be independent of each other.
2010-07-27Ensure $_SHARED is declared in the main:: namespace, per bugs #5570 and #5571.Alvaro Herrera

2010-07-23Add more checks against altering typed tablesPeter Eisentraut
- Prohibit altering column type - Prohibit changing inheritance - Move checks from Exec to Prep phases in ALTER TABLE code backpatched to 9.0
2010-07-23Avoid deep recursion when assigning XIDs to multiple levels of subxacts.Robert Haas
Backpatch to 8.0. Andres Freund, with cleanup and adjustment for older branches by me.
2010-07-20Properly replay CREATE TABLESPACE during crash recovery by deletingBruce Momjian
directory/symlink before creation. Report from Tom Lane. Backpatch to 9.0.
2010-07-18Remove unnecessary "Not safe to send CSV data" complaint from elog.c's fallbackTom Lane
path when CSV logging is configured but not yet operational. It's sufficient to send the message to stderr, as we were already doing, and the "Not safe" gripe has already confused at least two core members ... Backpatch to 9.0, but not further --- doesn't seem appropriate to change this behavior in stable branches.
2010-07-18Allow ORDER BY/GROUP BY/etc items to match targetlist items regardless ofTom Lane
any implicit casting previously applied to the targetlist item. This is reasonable because the implicit cast, by definition, wasn't written by the user; so we are preserving the expected behavior that ORDER BY items match textually equivalent tlist items. The case never arose before because there couldn't be any implicit casting of a top-level SELECT item before we process ORDER BY etc. But now it can arise in the context of aggregates containing ORDER BY clauses, since the "targetlist" is the already-casted list of arguments for the aggregate. The net effect is that the datatype used for ORDER BY/DISTINCT purposes is the aggregate's declared input type, not that of the original input column; which is a bit debatable but not horrendous, and to do otherwise would require major rework that doesn't seem justified. Per bug #5564 from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where aggregate ORDER BY was implemented.
2010-07-14Fix several problems in pg_dump's handling of SQL/MED objects, notably failureTom Lane
to dump a PUBLIC user mapping correctly, as per bug #5560 from Shigeru Hanada. Use the pg_user_mappings view rather than trying to access pg_user_mapping directly, so that the code doesn't fail when run by a non-superuser. And clean up some minor carelessness such as unsafe usage of fmtId(). Back-patch to 8.4 where this code was added.
2010-07-14Allow full SSL certificate verification (wherein libpq checks its host nameTom Lane
parameter against server cert's CN field) to succeed in the case where both host and hostaddr are specified. As with the existing precedents for Kerberos, GSSAPI, SSPI, it is the calling application's responsibility that host and hostaddr match up --- we just use the host name as given. Per bug #5559 from Christopher Head. In passing, make the error handling and messages for the no-host-name-given failure more consistent among these four cases, and correct a lie in the documentation: we don't attempt to reverse-lookup host from hostaddr if host is missing. Back-patch to 8.4 where SSL cert verification was introduced.
2010-07-13Oops, in the previous fix to prevent a cursor that's being used in a FORHeikki Linnakangas
loop from being dropped, I missed subtransaction cleanup. Pinned portals must be dropped at subtransaction cleanup just as they are at main transaction cleanup. Per bug #5556 by Robert Walker. Backpatch to 8.0, 7.4 didn't have subtransactions.
2010-07-09Avoid an Assert failure in deconstruct_array() by making get_attstatsslot()Tom Lane
use the actual element type of the array it's disassembling, rather than trusting the type OID passed in by its caller. This is needed because sometimes the planner passes in a type OID that's only binary-compatible with the target column's type, rather than being an exact match. Per an example from Bernd Helmle. Possibly we should refactor get_attstatsslot/free_attstatsslot to not expect the caller to supply type ID data at all, but for now I'll just do the minimum-change fix. Back-patch to 7.4. Bernd's test case only crashes back to 8.0, but since these subroutines are the same in 7.4, I suspect there may be variant cases that would crash 7.4 as well.
2010-07-09Fix ruleutils' get_variable() to print something useful for Vars referencingTom Lane
resjunk outputs of subquery tlists, instead of throwing an error. Per bug #5548 from Daniel Grace. We might at some point find we ought to back-patch this further than 9.0, but I think that such Vars can only occur as resjunk members of upper-level tlists, in which case the problem can't arise because prior versions didn't print resjunk tlist items in EXPLAIN VERBOSE.

2010-07-08Translation updates for 9.0beta3Peter Eisentraut
2010-07-08Minor kibitzing on previous patch: no need to run check more than once.Tom Lane
(_PG_init should be called only once anyway, but as long as it's got an internal guard against repeat calls, that should be in front of the version check.)
2010-07-08Install safeguard against running PL/Python 2 and 3 in the same sessionPeter Eisentraut
2010-07-08Make the Windows tcp keepalive support depend on the existance of theMagnus Hagander
SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS define instead of just WIN32, since MingW doesn't support this API (yet?).
2010-07-08Update obsolete comment. Noted by Josh Tolley.Tom Lane
2010-07-08Fix variant float8 expected files to have exactly the expected spacing.Tom Lane
This wasn't important when we used diff's -w (--ignore-all-space) option to compare regression result files, but it is now. Per buildfarm member canary, which evidently has been offline since we did that in November, but came to life again today.
2010-07-08Add support for TCP keepalives on Windows, both for backend and the newMagnus Hagander
libpq support.
2010-07-08Fix "cannot handle unplanned sub-select" error that can occur when aTom Lane
sub-select contains a join alias reference that expands into an expression containing another sub-select. Per yesterday's report from Merlin Moncure and subsequent off-list investigation. Back-patch to 7.4. Older versions didn't attempt to flatten sub-selects in ways that would trigger this problem.
2010-07-07Adjust mbutils.c so it won't get broken by future pgindent runs.Tom Lane
To do that, replace L'\0' by (WCHAR) 0. Perhaps someday we should teach pgindent about wide-character literals, but so long as this is the only use-case in the entire Postgres sources, a workaround seems easier.
2010-07-06Make log_temp_files based on kB, and revert docs & comments to match.Robert Haas
Per extensive discussion on pgsql-hackers. We are deliberately not back-patching this even though the behavior of 8.3 and 8.4 is unquestionably broken, for fear of breaking existing users of this parameter. This incompatibility should be release-noted.
2010-07-06Accept slightly grotty coding in Makefile.global in order to keep the -LTom Lane
flag for src/port/ in front of any -L flags placed in LDFLAGS by configure. This undoes an L-flag-ordering change that I had thought would be safe, but seems to be making at least one buildfarm member fail --- the only theory for orca's failure that I can think of is that it's got an old copy of libpgport.a in /usr/lib. Also allow for LDFLAGS_SL to be set by contrib makefiles before they invoke Makefile.global.
2010-07-06Support setting the keepalive idle time on MacOS X.Robert Haas
MacOS X uses TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than TCP_KEEPIDLE for this purpose. Thanks to Fujii Masao for the review.
2010-07-06Undo pgindent breakage (again). Per buildfarm.Tom Lane
2010-07-06Mention why one C file fails pgindent.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-06pgindent run for 9.0, second runBruce Momjian
2010-07-06Update pgindent testing instructions.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-06Still more third thoughts: when linking shared libraries, LDFLAGS probablyTom Lane
needs to appear before anything placed in SHLIB_LINK. This is because SHLIB_LINK is typically a subset of LIBS, and LIBS has to appear after LDFLAGS on platforms that are sensitive to the relative order of -L and -l switches.
2010-07-06Allow for LDFLAGS_SL already having a value in Makefile.aix.Tom Lane
Per buildfarm results.
2010-07-05Dept. of third thoughts: PG_LIBS may contain a -L switch, so it had betterTom Lane
stay in front of LDFLAGS.
2010-07-05Make sure LDFLAGS come before LIBS when linking contrib programs.Tom Lane
Solaris, at least, seems to be sensitive to the relative order of -L and -l switches, so this is needed. Per buildfarm results.
2010-07-05Fix a few single-file (MODULES, not MODULE_big) contrib makefiles that wereTom Lane
supposing that they should set SHLIB_LINK rather than LDFLAGS_SL. Since these don't go through Makefile.shlib that was a no-op on most platforms. Also regularize the few platform-specific Makefiles that did pay attention to SHLIB_LINK: it seems that the real value of that is to pull in BE_DLLLIBS, so do that instead. Per buildfarm failures on cygwin.
2010-07-05Split the LDFLAGS make variable into two parts: LDFLAGS is now used forTom Lane
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific %.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD) directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.) Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.
2010-07-05The previous fix in CVS HEAD and 8.4 for handling the case where a cursorHeikki Linnakangas
being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop is closed was inadequate, as Tom Lane pointed out. The bug affects FOR statement variants too, because you can close an implicitly created cursor too by guessing the "<unnamed portal X>" name created for it. To fix that, "pin" the portal to prevent it from being dropped while it's being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop. Backpatch all the way to 7.4 which is the oldest supported version.
2010-07-04Simplify test_fsync duration computation.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-04Report test_fynsc times in tests per second, instead of total seconds.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-03Don't set recoveryLastXTime when replaying a checkpoint --- that was a bogusTom Lane
idea from the start since the variable is only meant to track commit/abort events. This patch reverts the logic around the variable to what it was in 8.4, except that the value is now kept in shared memory rather than a static variable, so that it can be reported correctly by CreateRestartPoint (which is executed in the bgwriter).
2010-07-03Make vacuum_defer_cleanup_age be PGC_SIGHUP level, since it's not sensibleTom Lane
to have different values in different processes of the primary server. Also put it into the "Streaming Replication" GUC category; it doesn't belong in "Standby Servers" because you use it on the master not the standby. In passing also correct guc.c's idea of wal_keep_segments' category.
