2011-02-14Fix MSVC build scripts for recent extension-related changes.Tom Lane
Untested, but we'll soon see if the buildfarm likes this.
2011-02-14Rearrange extension-related views as per recent discussion.Tom Lane
The original design of pg_available_extensions did not consider the possibility of version-specific control files. Split it into two views: pg_available_extensions shows information that is generic about an extension, while pg_available_extension_versions shows all available versions together with information that could be version-dependent. Also, add an SRF pg_extension_update_paths() to assist in checking that a collection of update scripts provide sane update path sequences.

Bug report and fix by Andres Freund
2011-02-13Remove no-longer-needed special case hacks in MSVC build scripts.Tom Lane
2011-02-13Support replacing MODULE_PATHNAME during extension script file execution.Tom Lane
This avoids the need to find a way to make PGXS' .sql.in-to-.sql rule insert the right thing. We'll just deprecate use of that hack for extensions.
2011-02-13Change the naming convention for extension files to use double dashes.Tom Lane
This allows us to have an unambiguous rule for deconstructing the names of script files and secondary control files, without having to forbid extension and version names from containing any dashes. We do have to forbid them from containing double dashes or leading/trailing dashes, but neither restriction is likely to bother anyone in practice. Per discussion, this seems like a better solution overall than the original design.
2011-02-13Fix reverse 'if' test in path_is_relative_and_below_cwd(), per Tom.Bruce Momjian
2011-02-12Refactor ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE to have cleaner multi-step semantics.Tom Lane
This change causes a multi-step update sequence to behave exactly as if the updates had been commanded one at a time, including updating the "requires" dependencies afresh at each step. The initial implementation took the shortcut of examining only the final target version's "requires" and changing the catalog entry but once. But on reflection that's a bad idea, since it could lead to executing old update scripts under conditions different than they were designed/tested for. Better to expend a few extra cycles and avoid any surprises. In the same spirit, if a CREATE EXTENSION FROM operation involves applying a series of update files, it will act as though the CREATE had first been done using the initial script's target version and then the additional scripts were invoked with ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE. I also removed the restriction about not changing encoding in secondary control files. The new rule is that a script is assumed to be in whatever encoding the control file(s) specify for its target version. Since this reimplementation causes us to read each intermediate version's control file, there's no longer any uncertainty about which encoding setting would get applied.
2011-02-12Properly handle Win32 paths of 'E:abc', which can be either absolute orBruce Momjian
relative, by creating a function path_is_relative_and_below_cwd() to check for specific requirements. It is unclear if this fixes a security problem or not but the new code is more robust.

2011-02-12Teach ALTER TABLE .. SET DATA TYPE to avoid some table rewrites.Robert Haas
When the old type is binary coercible to the new type and the using clause does not change the column contents, we can avoid a full table rewrite, though any indexes on the affected columns will still need to be rebuilt. This applies, for example, when changing a varchar column to be of type text. The prior coding assumed that the set of operations that force a rewrite is identical to the set of operations that must be propagated to tables making use of the affected table's rowtype. This is no longer true: even though the tuples in those tables wouldn't need to be modified, the data type change invalidate indexes built using those composite type columns. Indexes on the table we're actually modifying can be invalidated too, of course, but the existing machinery is sufficient to handle that case. Along the way, add some debugging messages that make it possible to understand what operations ALTER TABLE is actually performing in these cases. Noah Misch and Robert Haas
2011-02-11Clean up installation directory choices for extensions.Tom Lane
Arrange for the control files to be in $SHAREDIR/extension not $SHAREDIR/contrib, since we're generally trying to deprecate the term "contrib" and this is a once-in-many-moons opportunity to get rid of it in install paths. Fix PGXS to install the $EXTENSION file into that directory no matter what MODULEDIR is set to; a nondefault MODULEDIR should only affect the script and secondary extension files. Fix the control file directory parameter to be interpreted relative to $SHAREDIR, to avoid a surprising disconnect between how you specify that and what you set MODULEDIR to. Per discussion with David Wheeler.
2011-02-11Add support for multiple versions of an extension and ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE.Tom Lane
This follows recent discussions, so it's quite a bit different from Dimitri's original. There will probably be more changes once we get a bit of experience with it, but let's get it in and start playing with it. This is still just core code. I'll start converting contrib modules shortly. Dimitri Fontaine and Tom Lane

2011-02-11Allow tab-completion of :variable even as first word on a line.Robert Haas
Christoph Berg
2011-02-11Typo fixes. receivedUpto should be capitalized consistently.Robert Haas
2011-02-11Tweak find_composite_type_dependencies API a bit more.Robert Haas
Per discussion with Noah Misch, the previous coding, introduced by my commit 65377e0b9c0e0397b1598b38b6a7fb8b6f740d39 on 2011-02-06, was really an abuse of RELKIND_COMPOSITE_TYPE, since the caller in typecmds.c is actually passing the name of a domain. So go back having a type name argument, but make the first argument a Relation rather than just a string so we can tell whether it's a table or a foreign table and emit the proper error message.

2011-02-10Send status updates back from standby server to master, indicating how farHeikki Linnakangas
the standby has written, flushed, and applied the WAL. At the moment, this is for informational purposes only, the values are only shown in pg_stat_replication system view, but in the future they will also be needed for synchronous replication. Extracted from Simon riggs' synchronous replication patch by Robert Haas, with some tweaking by me.
2011-02-10Track last time for statistics reset on databases and bgwriterMagnus Hagander

2011-02-10Use NOWAIT when including WAL in base backupMagnus Hagander
Avoids warning and waiting for the last segment to be archived, which isn't necessary when we're including the required WAL in the backup itself.

2011-02-09Fix improper matching of resjunk column names for FOR UPDATE in subselect.Tom Lane
Flattening of subquery range tables during setrefs.c could lead to the rangetable indexes in PlanRowMark nodes not matching up with the column names previously assigned to the corresponding resjunk ctid (resp. tableoid or wholerow) columns. Typical symptom would be either a "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple" error or an Assert failure. This wasn't a problem before 9.0 because we didn't support FOR UPDATE below the top query level, and so the final flattening could never renumber an RTE that was relevant to FOR UPDATE. Fix by using a plan-tree-wide unique number for each PlanRowMark to label the associated resjunk columns, so that the number need not change during flattening. Per report from David Johnston (though I'm darned if I can see how this got past initial testing of the relevant code). Back-patch to 9.0.
2011-02-09Fix pg_upgrade to handle extensions.Tom Lane
This follows my proposal of yesterday, namely that we try to recreate the previous state of the extension exactly, instead of allowing CREATE EXTENSION to run a SQL script that might create some entirely-incompatible on-disk state. In --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump won't issue CREATE EXTENSION at all, but instead uses a kluge function provided by pg_upgrade_support to recreate the pg_extension row (and extension-level pg_depend entries) without creating any member objects. The member objects are then restored in the same way as if they weren't members, in particular using pg_upgrade's normal hacks to preserve OIDs that need to be preserved. Then, for each member object, ALTER EXTENSION ADD is issued to recreate the pg_depend entry that marks it as an extension member. In passing, fix breakage in pg_upgrade's enum-type support: somebody didn't fix it when the noise word VALUE got added to ALTER TYPE ADD. Also, rationalize parsetree representation of COMMENT ON DOMAIN and fix get_object_address() to allow OBJECT_DOMAIN.

Add the views character_sets, collations, and collation_character_set_applicability.
2011-02-09Rethink order of operations for dumping extension member objects.Tom Lane
My original idea of doing extension member identification during getDependencies() didn't work correctly: we have to mark member tables as not-to-be-dumped rather earlier than that, else their subsidiary objects like indexes get dumped anyway. Rearrange code to mark them early enough.
2011-02-09Implement "ALTER EXTENSION ADD object".Tom Lane
This is an essential component of making the extension feature usable; first because it's needed in the process of converting an existing installation containing "loose" objects of an old contrib module into the extension-based world, and second because we'll have to use it in pg_dump --binary-upgrade, as per recent discussion. Loosely based on part of Dimitri Fontaine's ALTER EXTENSION UPGRADE patch.
2011-02-09Fix allocation of RW-conflict pool in the new predicate lock manager, andHeikki Linnakangas
also take the RW-conflict pool into account in the PredicateLockShmemSize() estimate.
2011-02-09Implement NOWAIT option for BASE_BACKUP commandMagnus Hagander
Specifying this option makes the server not wait for the xlog to be archived, or emit a warning that it can't, instead leaving the responsibility with the client. This is useful when the log is being streamed using the streaming protocol in parallel with the backup, without having log archiving enabled.
2011-02-08Suppress some compiler warnings in recent commits.Tom Lane
Older versions of gcc tend to throw "variable might be clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork'" warnings whenever a variable is assigned in more than one place and then used after the end of a PG_TRY block. That's reasonably easy to work around in execute_extension_script, and the overhead of unconditionally saving/restoring the GUC variables seems unlikely to be a serious concern. Also clean up logic in ATExecValidateConstraint to make it easier to read and less likely to provoke "variable might be used uninitialized in this function" warnings.
2011-02-08Fix merge conflict.Tom Lane
2011-02-08Core support for "extensions", which are packages of SQL objects.Tom Lane
This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions. There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make all the contrib modules depend on this feature. In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in AlterObjectNamespace() and callers. Dimitri Fontaine, reviewed by Anssi Kääriäinen, Itagaki Takahiro, Tom Lane, and numerous others

2011-02-08Remove rare corner case for data loss when triggering standby server.Simon Riggs
If the standby was streaming when trigger file arrives, check also in the archive for additional WAL files. This is a corner case since it is unlikely that we would trigger a failover while the master is still available and sending data to standby, while at the same time running in archive mode and also while the streaming standby has fallen behind archive. Someone would eventually be unlucky; we must plug all gaps however small. Fujii Masao
2011-02-08Extend ALTER TABLE to allow Foreign Keys to be added without initial validation.Simon Riggs
FK constraints that are marked NOT VALID may later be VALIDATED, which uses an ShareUpdateExclusiveLock on constraint table and RowShareLock on referenced table. Significantly reduces lock strength and duration when adding FKs. New state visible from psql. Simon Riggs, with reviews from Marko Tiikkaja and Robert Haas

2011-02-07Avoid having autovacuum workers wait for relation locks.Robert Haas
Waiting for relation locks can lead to starvation - it pins down an autovacuum worker for as long as the lock is held. But if we're doing an anti-wraparound vacuum, then we still wait; maintenance can no longer be put off. To assist with troubleshooting, if log_autovacuum_min_duration >= 0, we log whenever an autovacuum or autoanalyze is skipped for this reason. Per a gripe by Josh Berkus, and ensuing discussion.
2011-02-08Oops, forgot to bump catversion in the Serializable Snapshot Isolation patch.Heikki Linnakangas
I thought we didn't need that, but then I remembered that it added a new SLRU subdirectory, pg_serial. While we're at it, document what pg_serial is.
2011-02-08Implement genuine serializable isolation level.Heikki Linnakangas
Until now, our Serializable mode has in fact been what's called Snapshot Isolation, which allows some anomalies that could not occur in any serialized ordering of the transactions. This patch fixes that using a method called Serializable Snapshot Isolation, based on research papers by Michael J. Cahill (see README-SSI for full references). In Serializable Snapshot Isolation, transactions run like they do in Snapshot Isolation, but a predicate lock manager observes the reads and writes performed and aborts transactions if it detects that an anomaly might occur. This method produces some false positives, ie. it sometimes aborts transactions even though there is no anomaly. To track reads we implement predicate locking, see storage/lmgr/predicate.c. Whenever a tuple is read, a predicate lock is acquired on the tuple. Shared memory is finite, so when a transaction takes many tuple-level locks on a page, the locks are promoted to a single page-level lock, and further to a single relation level lock if necessary. To lock key values with no matching tuple, a sequential scan always takes a relation-level lock, and an index scan acquires a page-level lock that covers the search key, whether or not there are any matching keys at the moment. A predicate lock doesn't conflict with any regular locks or with another predicate locks in the normal sense. They're only used by the predicate lock manager to detect the danger of anomalies. Only serializable transactions participate in predicate locking, so there should be no extra overhead for for other transactions. Predicate locks can't be released at commit, but must be remembered until all the transactions that overlapped with it have completed. That means that we need to remember an unbounded amount of predicate locks, so we apply a lossy but conservative method of tracking locks for committed transactions. If we run short of shared memory, we overflow to a new "pg_serial" SLRU pool. We don't currently allow Serializable transactions in Hot Standby mode. That would be hard, because even read-only transactions can cause anomalies that wouldn't otherwise occur. Serializable isolation mode now means the new fully serializable level. Repeatable Read gives you the old Snapshot Isolation level that we have always had. Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports, reviewed by Jeff Davis, Heikki Linnakangas and Anssi Kääriäinen
