2013-08-13pg_dump: avoid schema qualification for ALTER ... OWNERBruce Momjian
We already use search_path to specify the schema, so there is no need for pg_dump to schema-qualify the name. Also remove dead code.
2013-08-11PL/Python: Adjust the regression tests for Python 3.3Peter Eisentraut
Similar to 2cfb1c6f77734db81b6e74bcae630f93b94f69be, the order in which dictionary elements are printed is not reliable. This reappeared in the tests of the string representation of result objects. Reduce the test case to one result set column so that there is no question of order.

2013-08-08Fix assertion failure by an immediate shutdown.Fujii Masao
In PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state, checkpointer process must be dead already. But an immediate shutdown could make postmaster's state machine transition to PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state even if checkpointer process is still running, and which caused assertion failure. This bug was introduced in commit 457d6cf049c57cabe9b46ea13f26138040a214ec. This patch ensures that postmaster's state machine doesn't transition to PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state in an immediate shutdown while checkpointer process is running.

2013-08-05Simplify query_planner's API by having it return the top-level RelOptInfo.Tom Lane
Formerly, query_planner returned one or possibly two Paths for the topmost join relation, so that grouping_planner didn't see the join RelOptInfo (at least not directly; it didn't have any hesitation about examining cheapest_path->parent, though). However, correct selection of the Paths involved a significant amount of coupling between query_planner and grouping_planner, a problem which has gotten worse over time. It seems best to give up on this API choice and instead return the topmost RelOptInfo explicitly. Then grouping_planner can pull out the Paths it wants from the rel's path list. In this way we can remove all knowledge of grouping behaviors from query_planner. The only real benefit of the old way is that in the case of an empty FROM clause, we never made any RelOptInfos at all, just a Path. Now we have to gin up a dummy RelOptInfo to represent the empty FROM clause. That's not a very big deal though. While at it, simplify query_planner's API a bit more by having the caller set up root->tuple_fraction and root->limit_tuples, rather than passing those values as separate parameters. Since query_planner no longer does anything with either value, requiring it to fill the PlannerInfo fields seemed pretty arbitrary. This patch just rearranges code; it doesn't (intentionally) change any behaviors. Followup patches will do more interesting things.
2013-08-05Various cleanups for REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY.Kevin Grittner
Open and lock each index before checking definition in RMVC. The ExclusiveLock on the related table is not viewed as sufficient to ensure that no changes are made to the index definition, and invalidation messages from other backends might have been missed. Additionally, use RelationGetIndexExpressions() and check for NIL rather than doing our own loop. Protect against redefinition of tid and rowvar operators in RMVC. While working on this, noticed that the fixes for bugs found during the CF made the UPDATE statement useless, since no rows could qualify for that treatment any more. Ripping out code to support the UPDATE statement simplified the operator cleanups. Change slightly confusing local field name. Use meaningful alias names on queries in refresh_by_match_merge(). Per concerns of raised by Andres Freund and comments and suggestions from Noah Misch. Some additional issues remain, which will be addressed separately.
2013-08-03Make sure float4in/float8in accept all standard spellings of "infinity".Tom Lane
The C99 and POSIX standards require strtod() to accept all these spellings (case-insensitively): "inf", "+inf", "-inf", "infinity", "+infinity", "-infinity". However, pre-C99 systems might accept only some or none of these, and apparently Windows still doesn't accept "inf". To avoid surprising cross-platform behavioral differences, manually check for each of these spellings if strtod() fails. We were previously handling just "infinity" and "-infinity" that way, but since C99 is most of the world now, it seems likely that applications are expecting all these spellings to work. Per bug #8355 from Basil Peace. It turns out this fix won't actually resolve his problem, because Python isn't being this careful; but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be.
2013-08-02Fix old visibility bug in HeapTupleSatisfiesDirtyAlvaro Herrera
If a tuple is locked but not updated by a concurrent transaction, HeapTupleSatisfiesDirty would return that transaction's Xid in xmax, causing callers to wait on it, when it is not necessary (in fact, if the other transaction had used a multixact instead of a plain Xid to mark the tuple, HeapTupleSatisfiesDirty would have behave differently and *not* returned the Xmax). This bug was introduced in commit 3f7fbf85dc5b42, dated December 1998, so it's almost 15 years old now. However, it's hard to see this misbehave, because before we had NOWAIT the only consequence of this is that transactions would wait for slightly more time than necessary; so it's not surprising that this hasn't been reported yet. Craig Ringer and Andres Freund
2013-08-02Fix crash in error report of invalid tuple lockAlvaro Herrera
My tweak of these error messages in commit c359a1b082 contained the thinko that a query would always have rowMarks set for a query containing a locking clause. Not so: when declaring a cursor, for instance, rowMarks isn't set at the point we're checking, so we'd be dereferencing a NULL pointer. The fix is to pass the lock strength to the function raising the error, instead of trying to reverse-engineer it. The result not only is more robust, but it also seems cleaner overall. Per report from Robert Haas.

2013-08-01Remove SnapshotNow and HeapTupleSatisfiesNow.Robert Haas
We now use MVCC catalog scans, and, per discussion, have eliminated all other remaining uses of SnapshotNow, so that we can now get rid of it. This will break third-party code which is still using it, which is intentional, as we want such code to be updated to do things the new way.
2013-08-01Add locking around SSL_context usage in libpqStephen Frost
I've been working with Nick Phillips on an issue he ran into when trying to use threads with SSL client certificates. As it turns out, the call in initialize_SSL() to SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() will modify our SSL_context without any protection from other threads also calling that function or being at some other point and trying to read from SSL_context. To protect against this, I've written up the attached (based on an initial patch from Nick and much subsequent discussion) which puts locks around SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() and all of the other users of SSL_context which weren't already protected. Nick Phillips, much reworked by Stephen Frost Back-patch to 9.0 where we started loading the cert directly instead of using a callback.
2013-08-01Allow a context to be passed in for error handlingStephen Frost
As pointed out by Tom Lane, we can allow other users of the error handler callbacks to provide their own memory context by adding the context to use to ErrorData and using that instead of explicitly using ErrorContext. This then allows GetErrorContextStack() to be called from inside exception handlers, so modify plpgsql to take advantage of that and add an associated regression test for it.

2013-07-31Fix regexp_matches() handling of zero-length matches.Tom Lane
We'd find the same match twice if it was of zero length and not immediately adjacent to the previous match. replace_text_regexp() got similar cases right, so adjust this search logic to match that. Note that even though the regexp_split_to_xxx() functions share this code, they did not display equivalent misbehavior, because the second match would be considered degenerate and ignored.

2013-07-30Restore REINDEX constraint validation.Noah Misch
Refactoring as part of commit 8ceb24568054232696dddc1166a8563bc78c900a had the unintended effect of making REINDEX TABLE and REINDEX DATABASE no longer validate constraints enforced by the indexes in question; REINDEX INDEX still did so. Indexes marked invalid remained so, and constraint violations arising from data corruption went undetected. Back-patch to 9.0, like the causative commit.

2013-07-25Prevent leakage of SPI tuple tables during subtransaction abort.Tom Lane
plpgsql often just remembers SPI-result tuple tables in local variables, and has no mechanism for freeing them if an ereport(ERROR) causes an escape out of the execution function whose local variable it is. In the original coding, that wasn't a problem because the tuple table would be cleaned up when the function's SPI context went away during transaction abort. However, once plpgsql grew the ability to trap exceptions, repeated trapping of errors within a function could result in significant intra-function-call memory leakage, as illustrated in bug #8279 from Chad Wagner. We could fix this locally in plpgsql with a bunch of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH coding, but that would be tedious, probably slow, and prone to bugs of omission; moreover it would do nothing for similar risks elsewhere. What seems like a better plan is to make SPI itself responsible for freeing tuple tables at subtransaction abort. This patch attacks the problem that way, keeping a list of live tuple tables within each SPI function context. Currently, such freeing is automatic for tuple tables made within the failed subtransaction. We might later add a SPI call to mark a tuple table as not to be freed this way, allowing callers to opt out; but until someone exhibits a clear use-case for such behavior, it doesn't seem worth bothering. A very useful side-effect of this change is that SPI_freetuptable() can now defend itself against bad calls, such as duplicate free requests; this should make things more robust in many places. (In particular, this reduces the risks involved if a third-party extension contains now-redundant SPI_freetuptable() calls in error cleanup code.) Even though the leakage problem is of long standing, it seems imprudent to back-patch this into stable branches, since it does represent an API semantics change for SPI users. We'll patch this in 9.3, but live with the leakage in older branches.
2013-07-25Change currtid functions to use an MVCC snapshot, not SnapshotNow.Robert Haas
This has a slight performance cost, but the only known consumers of these functions, known at the SQL level as currtid and currtid2, is pgsql-odbc; whose usage, we hope, is not sufficiently intensive to make this a problem. Per discussion.
2013-07-25Don't use SnapshotNow in get_actual_variable_range.Robert Haas
Instead, use the active snapshot. Per Tom Lane, this function is most interested in knowing the range of tuples our scan will actually see. This is another step towards full removal of SnapshotNow.
2013-07-25Improvements to GetErrorContextStack()Stephen Frost
As GetErrorContextStack() borrowed setup and tear-down code from other places, it was less than clear that it must only be called as a top-level entry point into the error system and can't be called by an exception handler (unlike the rest of the error system, which is set up to be reentrant-safe). Being called from an exception handler is outside the charter of GetErrorContextStack(), so add a bit more protection against it, improve the comments addressing why we have to set up an errordata stack for this function at all, and add a few more regression tests. Lack of clarity pointed out by Tom Lane; all bugs are mine.
2013-07-24Add GET DIAGNOSTICS ... PG_CONTEXT in PL/PgSQLStephen Frost

2013-07-24Improve ilist.h's support for deletion of slist elements during iteration.Tom Lane
Previously one had to use slist_delete(), implying an additional scan of the list, making this infrastructure considerably less efficient than traditional Lists when deletion of element(s) in a long list is needed. Modify the slist_foreach_modify() macro to support deleting the current element in O(1) time, by keeping a "prev" pointer in addition to "cur" and "next". Although this makes iteration with this macro a bit slower, no real harm is done, since in any scenario where you're not going to delete the current list element you might as well just use slist_foreach instead. Improve the comments about when to use each macro. Back-patch to 9.3 so that we'll have consistent semantics in all branches that provide ilist.h. Note this is an ABI break for callers of slist_foreach_modify(). Andres Freund and Tom Lane
2013-07-24Fix booltestsel() for case where we have NULL stats but not MCV stats.Tom Lane
In a boolean column that contains mostly nulls, ANALYZE might not find enough non-null values to populate the most-common-values stats, but it would still create a pg_statistic entry with stanullfrac set. The logic in booltestsel() for this situation did the wrong thing for "col IS NOT TRUE" and "col IS NOT FALSE" tests, forgetting that null values would satisfy these tests (so that the true selectivity would be close to one, not close to zero). Per bug #8274. Fix by Andrew Gierth, some comment-smithing by me.
2013-07-23Move strip_implicit_coercions() from optimizer to nodeFuncs.c.Tom Lane
Use of this function has spread into the parser and rewriter, so it seems like time to pull it out of the optimizer and put it into the more central nodeFuncs module. This eliminates the need to #include optimizer/clauses.h in most of the calling files, demonstrating that this function was indeed a bit outside the normal code reference patterns.
2013-07-23Further hacking on ruleutils' new column-alias-assignment code.Tom Lane
After further thought about implicit coercions appearing in a joinaliasvars list, I realized that they represent an additional reason why we might need to reference the join output column directly instead of referencing an underlying column. Consider SELECT x FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (x) where t1.x is of type date while t2.x is of type timestamptz. The merged output variable is of type timestamptz, but it won't go to null when t2 does, therefore neither t1.x nor t2.x is a valid substitute reference. The code in get_variable() actually gets this case right, since it knows it shouldn't look through a coercion, but we failed to ensure that the unqualified output column name would be globally unique. To fix, modify the code that trawls for a dangerous situation so that it actually scans through an unnamed join's joinaliasvars list to see if there are any non-simple-Var entries.

2013-07-23Change post-rewriter representation of dropped columns in joinaliasvars.Tom Lane
It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN. Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE() still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code. In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h, which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.
2013-07-23Tweak FOR UPDATE/SHARE error message wording (again)Alvaro Herrera
In commit 0ac5ad5134 I changed some error messages from "FOR UPDATE/SHARE" to a rather long gobbledygook which nobody liked. Then, in commit cb9b66d31 I changed them again, but the alternative chosen there was deemed suboptimal by Peter Eisentraut, who in message 1373937980.20441.8.camel@vanquo.pezone.net proposed an alternative involving a dynamically-constructed string based on the actual locking strength specified in the SQL command. This patch implements that suggestion.
2013-07-23Use InvalidSnapshot, now SnapshotNow, as the default snapshot.Robert Haas
As far as I can determine, there's no code in the core distribution that fails to explicitly set the snapshot of a scan or executor state. If there is any such code, this will probably cause it to seg fault; friendlier suggestions were discussed on pgsql-hackers, but there was no consensus that anything more than this was needed. This is another step towards the hoped-for complete removal of SnapshotNow.

2013-07-22Remove bgw_sighup and bgw_sigterm.Robert Haas
Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, these aren't really needed. Interim versions of the background worker patch had the worker starting with signals already unblocked, which would have made this necessary. But the final version does not, so we don't really need it; and it doesn't work well with the new facility for starting dynamic background workers, so just rip it out. Also per discussion on pgsql-hackers, back-patch this change to 9.3. It's best to get the API break out of the way before we do an official release of this facility, to avoid more pain for extension authors later.
2013-07-22Adjust HeapTupleSatisfies* routines to take a HeapTuple.Robert Haas
Previously, these functions took a HeapTupleHeader, but upcoming patches for logical replication will introduce new a new snapshot type under which the tuple's TID will be used to lookup (CMIN, CMAX) for visibility determination purposes. This makes that information available. Code churn is minimal since HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility took the HeapTuple anyway, and deferenced it before calling the satisfies function. Independently of logical replication, this allows t_tableOid and t_self to be cross-checked via assertions in tqual.c. This seems like a useful way to make sure that all callers are setting these values properly, which has been previously put forward as desirable. Andres Freund, reviewed by Álvaro Herrera
2013-07-22Silence compiler warning on an unused variableAlvaro Herrera
Also, tweak wording in comments (per Andres) and documentation (myself) to point out that it's the database's default tablespace that can be passed as 0, not DEFAULTTABLESPACE_OID. Robert Haas noticed the bug in the code, but didn't update the accompanying prose.
2013-07-22Add infrastructure for mapping relfilenodes to relation OIDs.Robert Haas
Future patches are expected to introduce logical replication that works by decoding WAL. WAL contains relfilenodes rather than relation OIDs, so this infrastructure will be needed to find the relation OID based on WAL contents. If logical replication does not make it into this release, we probably should consider reverting this, since it will add some overhead to DDL operations that create new relations. One additional index insert per pg_class row is not a large overhead, but it's more than zero. Another way of meeting the needs of logical replication would be to the relation OID to WAL, but that would burden DML operations, not only DDL. Andres Freund, with some changes by me. Design review, in earlier versions, by Álvaro Herrera.
2013-07-20Fix error handling in PLy_spi_execute_fetch_result().Tom Lane
If an error is thrown out of the datatype I/O functions called by this function, we need to do subtransaction cleanup, which the previous coding entirely failed to do. Fortunately, both existing callers of this function already have proper cleanup logic, so re-throwing the exception is enough. Also, postpone creation of the resultset tupdesc until after the I/O conversions are complete, so that we won't leak memory in TopMemoryContext when such an error happens.
2013-07-20Clean up new JSON API typedefsPeter Eisentraut
The new JSON API uses a bit of an unusual typedef scheme, where for example OkeysState is a pointer to okeysState. And that's not applied consistently either. Change that to the more usual PostgreSQL style where struct typedefs are upper case, and use pointers explicitly.
2013-07-19Fix HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum on aborted updater xactsAlvaro Herrera
By using only the macro that checks infomask bits HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY to verify whether a multixact is not an updater, and not the full HeapTupleHeaderIsOnlyLocked, it would come to the wrong result in case of a multixact containing an aborted update; therefore returning the wrong result code. This would cause predicate.c to break completely (as in bug report #8273 from David Leverton), and certain index builds would misbehave. As far as I can tell, other callers of the bogus routine would make harmless mistakes or not be affected by the difference at all; so this was a pretty narrow case. Also, no other user of the HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY macro is as careless; they all check specifically for the HEAP_XMAX_IS_MULTI case, and they all verify whether the updater is InvalidXid before concluding that it's a valid updater. So there doesn't seem to be any similar bug.
