Relation rowtypes and automatically-generated array types do not need to
have their own extension membership dependency entries. If we create such
then it becomes more difficult to remove items from an extension, and it's
also harder for an extension upgrade script to make sure it duplicates the
dependencies created by the extension's regular installation script.
I changed the code in such a way that this happened in commit
988cccc620dd8c16d77f88ede167b22056176324, I think because of worries about
the shell-type-replacement case; but that cure was worse than the disease.
It would only matter if one extension created a shell type that was
replaced with an auto-generated type in another extension, which seems
pretty far-fetched. Better to make this work unsurprisingly in normal
cases.

We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.
Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.

It's been bothering me for several days that pretending that the cstring
data stored in a btree name_ops column is really a "name" Datum could lead
to reading past the end of memory. However, given the current memory
layout used for index-only scans in the btree code, a crash is in fact not
possible. Document that so we don't break it. I have not thought of any
other solutions that aren't fairly ugly too, and most of them lose the
functionality of index-only scans on name columns altogether, so this seems
like the way to go.
|
|
Dept. of second thoughts: as long as we've got that tlist hanging around
anyway, we can apply ExecTypeFromTL to it to get a suitable descriptor for
the ScanTupleSlot. This is a nicer solution than the previous one because
it eliminates some hard-wired knowledge about btree name_ops, and because
it avoids the somewhat shaky assumption that we needn't set up the scan
tuple descriptor in EXPLAIN_ONLY mode. It doesn't change what actually
happens at run-time though, and I'm still a bit nervous about that.

This commit changes index-only scans so that data is read directly from the
index tuple without first generating a faux heap tuple. The only immediate
benefit is that indexes on system columns (such as OID) can be used in
index-only scans, but this is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to
support index-only scans on expression indexes. The executor is now ready
for that, though the planner still needs substantial work to recognize
the possibility.
To do this, Vars in index-only plan nodes have to refer to index columns
not heap columns. I introduced a new special varno, INDEX_VAR, to mark
such Vars to avoid confusion. (In passing, this commit renames the two
existing special varnos to OUTER_VAR and INNER_VAR.) This allows
ruleutils.c to handle them with logic similar to what we use for subplan
reference Vars.
Since index-only scans are now fundamentally different from regular
indexscans so far as their expression subtrees are concerned, I also chose
to change them to have their own plan node type (and hence, their own
executor source file).

There's no particular advantage to this change on its face; indeed,
it's possible that this might be slightly slower than the old way.
But it makes this information more easily accessible to other
functions, and therefore paves the way for future code consolidation.
Performance isn't critical here, so there's no need to be smart about
how we do the search.
This is a heavily cut-down version of a patch from KaiGai Kohei,
with several fixes by me. Additional review from Dimitri Fontaine.

When I consolidated two copies of the HOT-chain search logic in commit
4da99ea4231e3d8bbf28b666748c1028e7b7d665, I introduced a behavior
change: the old code wouldn't necessarily traverse the entire chain,
if the most recently returned tuple were updated while the HOT chain
traversal is in progress. The new behavior seems more correct, but
unfortunately, the code here relies on a scan with SnapshotNow failing
to see its own updates. That seems pretty shaky even with the old HOT
chain traversal behavior, since there's no guarantee that these
updates will always be HOT, but it's trivial to broke a failure with
the new HOT search logic. Fix by updating just the first matching
pg_constraint tuple, rather than all of them, since there should be
only one anyway. But since nobody has reproduced this failure on older
versions, no back-patch for now.

This was broken in commit 53dbc27c62d8e1b6c5253feba04a5094cb8fe046, which
introduced unlogged tables. Fortunately, as debugging tools go, this one
is pretty cheap, which is probably why it took nine months for someone to
notice, but it's not intended to be enabled by default, so revert.

The original idea of this patch was to make box picksplit run faster, by
eliminating unnecessary palloc() overhead, but that was obsoleted by the new
double-sorting split algorithm that doesn't call these functions so heavily
anymore. Nevertheless, the code looks better this way.
Original patch by me, reviewed and tidied up after the double-sorting patch
by Kevin Grittner.

We copy all the matched tuples off the page during _bt_readpage, instead of
expensively re-locking the page during each subsequent tuple fetch. This
costs a bit more local storage, but not more than 2*BLCKSZ worth, and the
reduction in LWLock traffic is certainly worth that. What's more, this
lets us get rid of the API wart in the original patch that said an index AM
could randomly decline to supply an index tuple despite having asserted
pg_am.amcanreturn. That will be important for future improvements in the
index-only-scan feature, since the executor will now be able to rely on
having the index data available.
|
|
This bollixes the test because it's expecting to see the idx_tup_fetch
counter increase, which won't happen if heap fetches were avoided by use
of an index-only scan. Per buildfarm results.
While at it, let's just make sure that enable_seqscan and enable_indexscan
are ON for this test ...

When a btree index contains all columns required by the query, and the
visibility map shows that all tuples on a target heap page are
visible-to-all, we don't need to fetch that heap page. This patch depends
on the previous patches that made the visibility map reliable.
There's a fair amount left to do here, notably trying to figure out a less
chintzy way of estimating the cost of an index-only scan, but the core
functionality seems ready to commit.

CREATE EXTENSION needs to transiently set search_path, as well as
client_min_messages and log_min_messages. We were doing this by the
expedient of saving the current string value of each variable, doing a
SET LOCAL, and then doing another SET LOCAL with the previous value at
the end of the command. This is a bit expensive though, and it also fails
badly if there is anything funny about the existing search_path value,
as seen in a recent report from Roger Niederland. Fortunately, there's a
much better way, which is to piggyback on the GUC infrastructure previously
developed for functions with SET options. We just open a new GUC nesting
level, do our assignments with GUC_ACTION_SAVE, and then close the nesting
level when done. This automatically restores the prior settings without a
re-parsing pass, so (in principle anyway) there can't be an error. And
guc.c still takes care of cleanup in event of an error abort.
The CREATE EXTENSION code for this was modeled on some much older code in
ri_triggers.c, which I also changed to use the better method, even though
there wasn't really much risk of failure there. Also improve the comments
in guc.c to reflect this additional usage.
|
|
Arrange for any problems with pre-existing settings to be reported as
WARNING not ERROR, so that we don't undesirably abort the loading of the
incoming add-on module. The bad setting is just discarded, as though it
had never been applied at all. (This requires a change in the API of
set_config_option. After some thought I decided the most potentially
useful addition was to allow callers to just pass in a desired elevel.)
Arrange to restore the complete stacked state of the variable, rather than
cheesily reinstalling only the active value. This ensures that custom GUCs
will behave unsurprisingly even when the module loading operation occurs
within nested subtransactions that have changed the active value. Since a
module load could occur as a result of, eg, a PL function call, this is not
an unlikely scenario.

This oversight meant that on Windows, the pg_settings view would not
display source file or line number information for values coming from
postgresql.conf, unless the backend had received a SIGHUP since starting.
In passing, also make the error detection in read_nondefault_variables a
tad more thorough, and fix it to not lose precision on float GUCs (these
changes are already in HEAD as of my previous commit).
|
|
We used to just remember the GucSource, but saving GucContext too provides
a little more information --- notably, whether a SET was done by a
superuser or regular user. This allows us to rip out the fairly dodgy code
that define_custom_variable used to use to try to infer the context to
re-install a pre-existing setting with. In particular, it now works for
a superuser to SET a extension's SUSET custom variable before loading the
associated extension, because GUC can remember whether the SET was done as
a superuser or not. The plperl regression tests contain an example where
this is useful.
|
|
Previously, the code assumed that the only possible action to take was
to delete files behind a certain cutoff point. The async notify code
was already a crock: it used a different "pagePrecedes" function for
truncation than for regular operation. By allowing it to pass a
callback to SlruScanDirectory it can do cleanly exactly what it needs to
do.
The clog.c code also had its own use for SlruScanDirectory, which is
made a bit simpler with this.

This variable provides only marginal error-prevention capability (since
it can only check the prefix of a qualified GUC name), and the consensus
is that that isn't worth the amount of hassle that maintaining the setting
creates for DBAs. So, let's just remove it.
With this commit, the system will silently accept a value for any qualified
GUC name at all, whether it has anything to do with any known extension or
not. (Unqualified names still have to match known built-in settings,
though; and you will get a WARNING at extension load time if there's an
unrecognized setting with that extension's prefix.)
There's still some discussion ongoing about whether to tighten that up and
if so how; but if we do come up with a solution, it's not likely to look
anything like custom_variable_classes.

Thus, an object referenced in a default expression could be dropped while
the function remained present. This was unaccountably missed in the
original patch to add default parameters for functions. Reported by

This patch has two distinct purposes: to report multiple problems in
postgresql.conf rather than always bailing out after the first one,
and to change the policy for whether changes are applied when there are
unrelated errors in postgresql.conf.
Formerly the policy was to apply no changes if any errors could be
detected, but that had a significant consistency problem, because in some
cases specific values might be seen as valid by some processes but invalid
by others. This meant that the latter processes would fail to adopt
changes in other parameters even though the former processes had done so.
The new policy is that during SIGHUP, the file is rejected as a whole
if there are any errors in the "name = value" syntax, or if any lines
attempt to set nonexistent built-in parameters, or if any lines attempt
to set custom parameters whose prefix is not listed in (the new value of)
custom_variable_classes. These tests should always give the same results
in all processes, and provide what seems a reasonably robust defense
against loading values from badly corrupted config files. If these tests
pass, all processes will apply all settings that they individually see as
good, ignoring (but logging) any they don't.
In addition, the postmaster does not abandon reading a configuration file
after the first syntax error, but continues to read the file and report
syntax errors (up to a maximum of 100 syntax errors per file).
The postmaster will still refuse to start up if the configuration file
contains any errors at startup time, but these changes allow multiple
errors to be detected and reported before quitting.

pg_trgm was already doing this unofficially, but the implementation hadn't
been thought through very well and leaked memory. Restructure the core
GiST code so that it actually works, and document it. Ordinarily this
would have required an extra memory context creation/destruction for each
GiST index search, but I was able to avoid that in the normal case of a
non-rescanned search by finessing the handling of the RBTree. It used to
have its own context always, but now shares a context with the
scan-lifespan data structures, unless there is more than one rescan call.
This should make the added overhead unnoticeable in typical cases.

This code was looking at the sub-Query tree as seen in the parent query's
RangeTblEntry; but that's the pristine parser output, and what we need to
look at is the tree as it stands at the completion of planning. Otherwise
we might pick up a Var that references a subquery that got flattened and
hence has no RelOptInfo in the subroot. Per report from Peter Geoghegan.

If an indexable operator for a non-collatable indexed datatype has a
collatable right-hand input type, any OpExpr for it will be marked with a
nonzero inputcollid (since having one collatable input is sufficient to
make that happen). However, an index on a non-collatable column certainly
doesn't have any collation. This caused us to fail to match such operators
to their indexes, because indxpath.c required an exact match of index
collation and clause collation. It seems correct to allow a match when the
index is collation-less regardless of the clause's inputcollid: an operator
with both noncollatable and collatable inputs could perhaps depend on the
collation of the collatable input, but it could hardly expect the index for
the noncollatable input to have that same collation.
Per bug #6232 from Pierre Ducroquet. His example is specifically about
"hstore ? text" but the problem seems quite generic.

In commit c1d9579dd8bf3c921ca6bc2b62c40da6d25372e5, I changed things so
that the output of the Agg node that feeds the window functions would not
list any ungrouped Vars directly. Formerly, for example, the Agg tlist
might have included both "x" and "sum(x)", which is not really valid if
"x" isn't a grouping column. If we then had a window function ordering on
something like "sum(x) + 1", prepare_sort_from_pathkeys would find no exact
match for this in the Agg tlist, and would conclude that it must recompute
the expression. But it would break the expression down to just the Var
"x", which it would find in the tlist, and then rebuild the ORDER BY
expression using a reference to the subplan's "x" output. Now, after the
above-referenced changes, "x" isn't in the Agg tlist if it's not a grouping
column, so that prepare_sort_from_pathkeys fails with "could not find
pathkey item to sort", as reported by Bricklen Anderson.
The fix is to not break down Aggrefs into their component parts, but just
treat them as irreducible expressions to be sought in the subplan tlist.
This is definitely OK for the use with respect to window functions in
grouping_planner, since it just built the tlist being used on the same
basis. AFAICT it is safe for other uses too; most of the other call sites
couldn't encounter Aggrefs anyway.

In REPEATABLE READ (nee SERIALIZABLE) mode, an attempt to do
GetTransactionSnapshot() between AbortTransaction and CleanupTransaction
failed, because GetTransactionSnapshot would recompute the transaction
snapshot (which is already wrong, given the isolation mode) and then
re-register it in the TopTransactionResourceOwner, leading to an Assert
because the TopTransactionResourceOwner should be empty of resources after
AbortTransaction. This is the root cause of bug #6218 from Yamamoto
Takashi. While changing plancache.c to avoid requesting a snapshot when
handling a ROLLBACK masks the problem, I think this is really a snapmgr.c
bug: it's lower-level than the resource manager mechanism and should not be
shutting itself down before we unwind resource manager resources. However,
just postponing the release of the transaction snapshot until cleanup time
didn't work because of the circular dependency with
TopTransactionResourceOwner. Fix by managing the internal reference to
that snapshot manually instead of depending on TopTransactionResourceOwner.
This saves a few cycles as well as making the module layering more
straightforward. predicate.c's dependencies on TopTransactionResourceOwner
go away too.
I think this is a longstanding bug, but there's no evidence that it's more
than a latent bug, so it doesn't seem worth any risk of back-patching.
