2010-07-20Properly replay CREATE TABLESPACE during crash recovery by deletingBruce Momjian
directory/symlink before creation. Report from Tom Lane. Backpatch to 9.0.
2010-07-20Have \conninfo mention the port even for local sockets.Robert Haas
Per discussion with David Christensen, there can be multiple instances of PG accessible via local sockets, and you need the port to see which one you're actually connected to. David's original patch worked this way, but I inadvertently ripped it out during commit.
2010-07-20Add \conninfo command to psql, to show current connection info.Robert Haas
David Christensen. Reviewed by Steve Singer. Some further changes by me.
2010-07-20Make ECPG regression tests independent of standard_conforming_strings.Robert Haas
Per buildfarm, again.
2010-07-20Add restart_after_crash GUC.Robert Haas
Normally, we automatically restart after a backend crash, but in some cases when PostgreSQL is invoked by clusterware it may be desirable to suppress this behavior, so we provide an option which does this. Since no existing GUC group quite fits, create a new group called "error handling options" for this and the previously undocumented GUC exit_on_error, which is now documented. Review by Fujii Masao.
2010-07-20Change the default value of standard_conforming_strings to on.Robert Haas
This change should be publicized to driver maintainers at once and release-noted as an incompatibility with previous releases.
2010-07-19Portability fixes for Solaris for requirepeer feature patchPeter Eisentraut
per report from Dave Page
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.
2010-07-18Fix up poor handling of unsupported-platform case in requirepeer patch.Tom Lane
2010-07-18Fix thinko in recent patch: 'sock' should be 'conn->sock'.Tom Lane
2010-07-18Add SO_PEERCRED check in new unix domain socket permission checking code.Bruce Momjian
2010-07-18Add server authentication over Unix-domain socketsPeter Eisentraut
This adds a libpq connection parameter requirepeer that specifies the user name that the server process is expected to run under. reviewed by KaiGai Kohei
2010-07-18Simplify missing tablespace replay error hint message, but only in HEADBruce Momjian
so we don't need to re-translate for 9.0.
2010-07-16Add a log_file_mode GUC that allows control of the file permissions set onTom Lane
log files created by the syslogger process. In passing, make unix_file_permissions display its value in octal, same as log_file_mode now does. Martin Pihlak
2010-07-16Add support for dividing money by money (yielding a float8 result) and forTom Lane
casting between money and numeric. Andy Balholm, reviewed by Kevin Grittner
2010-07-16Remove a sanity check in the exclusion-constraint code that prevented usersTom Lane
from defining non-self-conflicting constraints. Jeff Davis Note: I (tgl) objected to removing this check in 9.0 on the grounds that it was an important sanity check in new, poorly tested code. However, it should be all right to remove it for 9.1, since we'll get field testing from the 9.0 branch.
2010-07-16Remove duplicate code in DefineOpFamily().Tom Lane
The code was probably meant to be this way all along, since the subroutine CreateOpFamily previously had only one caller. But it wasn't. KaiGai Kohei
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.
2010-07-13Teach EXPLAIN to print PARAM_EXEC Params as the referenced expressions,Tom Lane
rather than just $N. This brings the display of nestloop-inner-indexscan plans back to where it's been, and incidentally improves the display of SubPlan parameters as well. In passing, simplify the EXPLAIN code by having it deal primarily in the PlanState tree rather than separately searching Plan and PlanState trees. This is noticeably cleaner for subplans, and about a wash elsewhere. One small difference from previous behavior is that EXPLAIN will no longer qualify local variable references in inner-indexscan plan nodes, since it no longer sees such nodes as possibly referencing multiple tables. Vars referenced through PARAM_EXEC Params are still forcibly qualified, though, so I don't think the display is any more confusing than before. Adjust a couple of examples in the documentation to match this behavior.
2010-07-13Print each test_fsync description while test is running, rather than atBruce Momjian
the end.
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.
2010-07-12Make NestLoop plan nodes pass outer-relation variables into their innerTom Lane
relation using the general PARAM_EXEC executor parameter mechanism, rather than the ad-hoc kluge of passing the outer tuple down through ExecReScan. The previous method was hard to understand and could never be extended to handle parameters coming from multiple join levels. This patch doesn't change the set of possible plans nor have any significant performance effect, but it's necessary infrastructure for future generalization of the concept of an inner indexscan plan. ExecReScan's second parameter is now unused, so it's removed.

2010-07-12Bump minor library version numbers, for 9.1 release.Bruce Momjian
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.
2010-07-09Add a hook in ExecCheckRTPerms().Robert Haas
This hook allows a loadable module to gain control when table permissions are checked. It is expected to be used by an eventual SE-PostgreSQL implementation, but there are other possible applications as well. A sample contrib module can be found in the archives at: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-05/msg01095.php Robert Haas and Stephen Frost

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.)

2010-07-08Make 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.

2010-07-06Update 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.
