2011-03-06Add missing "static" marker to internal_ping().Tom Lane
Per testing with a compiler that doesn't like that.

2011-03-06Fix pg_dump's dump order for collations versus extensions.Tom Lane
Mixing them together alphabetically won't be nice. Per my gripe of 2011-02-12.
2011-03-06Efficient transaction-controlled synchronous replication.Simon Riggs
If a standby is broadcasting reply messages and we have named one or more standbys in synchronous_standby_names then allow users who set synchronous_replication to wait for commit, which then provides strict data integrity guarantees. Design avoids sending and receiving transaction state information so minimises bookkeeping overheads. We synchronize with the highest priority standby that is connected and ready to synchronize. Other standbys can be defined to takeover in case of standby failure. This version has very strict behaviour; more relaxed options may be added at a later date. Simon Riggs and Fujii Masao, with reviews by Yeb Havinga, Jaime Casanova, Heikki Linnakangas and Robert Haas, plus the assistance of many other design reviewers.
2011-03-06Fix incorrect access to pg_index.indcollation.Tom Lane
Since this field is after a variable-length field, it can't simply be accessed via the C struct for pg_index. Fortunately, the relcache already did the dirty work of pulling the information out to where it can be accessed easily, so this is a one-line fix. Andres Freund
2011-03-05Fix parallel gmake for extension directory addition in PL languages.Bruce Momjian
2011-03-05Add PL extension files to MSVC Install procedure.Andrew Dunstan
2011-03-05Make plpythonu language use plpython2 shared library directly.Tom Lane
The original scheme for this was to symlink plpython.$DLSUFFIX to plpython2.$DLSUFFIX, but that doesn't work on Windows, and only accidentally failed to fail because of the way that CREATE LANGUAGE created or didn't create new C functions. My changes of yesterday exposed the weakness of that approach. To fix, get rid of the symlink and make pg_pltemplate show what's really going on.
2011-03-05Convert createlang/droplang to use CREATE/DROP EXTENSION.Tom Lane
In createlang this is a one-line change. In droplang there's a whole lot of cruft that can be discarded since the extension mechanism now manages removal of the language's support functions. Also, add deprecation notices to these two programs' reference pages, since per discussion we may toss them overboard altogether in a release or two.
2011-03-05Update of SQL feature conformancePeter Eisentraut
2011-03-04Create extension infrastructure for the core procedural languages.Tom Lane
This mostly just involves creating control, install, and update-from-unpackaged scripts for them. However, I had to adjust plperl and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants, because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions. catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language. Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare languages. Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want an extra schema permissions test after all. Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).
2011-03-04Refactor seclabel.c to use the new check_object_ownership function.Robert Haas
This avoids duplicate (and not-quite-matching) code, and makes the logic for SECURITY LABEL match COMMENT and ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP.
2011-03-04Don't allow CREATE TABLE AS to create a column with invalid collationPeter Eisentraut
It is possible that an expression ends up with a collatable type but without a collation. CREATE TABLE AS could then create a table based on that. But such a column cannot be dumped with valid SQL syntax, so we disallow creating such a column. per test report from Noah Misch
2011-03-04Allow non-superusers to create (some) extensions.Tom Lane
Remove the unconditional superuser permissions check in CREATE EXTENSION, and instead define a "superuser" extension property, which when false (not the default) skips the superuser permissions check. In this case the calling user only needs enough permissions to execute the commands in the extension's installation script. The superuser property is also enforced in the same way for ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE cases. In other ALTER EXTENSION cases and DROP EXTENSION, test ownership of the extension rather than superuserness. ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP needs to insist on ownership of the target object as well; to do that without duplicating code, refactor comment.c's big switch for permissions checks into a separate function in objectaddress.c. I also removed the superuserness checks in pg_available_extensions and related functions; there's no strong reason why everybody shouldn't be able to see that info. Also invent an IF NOT EXISTS variant of CREATE EXTENSION, and use that in pg_dump, so that dumps won't fail for installed-by-default extensions. We don't have any of those yet, but we will soon. This is all per discussion of wrapping the standard procedural languages into extensions. I'll make those changes in a separate commit; this is just putting the core infrastructure in place.
2011-03-04When creating a collation, check that the locales can be loadedPeter Eisentraut
This is the same check that would happen later when the collation is used, but it's friendlier to check the collation already when it is created.
2011-03-04In initialize_SSL, don't fail unnecessarily when home dir is unavailable.Tom Lane
Instead, just act as though the certificate file(s) are not present. There is only one case where this need be a hard failure condition: when sslmode is verify-ca or verify-full, not having a root cert file is an error. Change the logic so that we complain only in that case, and otherwise fall through cleanly. This is how it used to behave pre-9.0, but my patch 4ed4b6c54e5fab24ab2624d80e26f7546edc88ad of 2010-05-26 broke the case. Per report from Christian Kastner.

2011-03-03Further refine patch for commenting operator implementation functions.Tom Lane
Instead of manually maintaining the "implementation of XXX operator" comments in pg_proc.h, delete all those entries and let initdb create them via a join. To let initdb figure out which name to use when there is a conflict, change the comments for deprecated operators to say they are deprecated --- which seems like a good thing to do anyway.
2011-03-03Run a portal's cleanup hook immediately when pushing it to DONE state.Tom Lane
This works around the problem noted by Yamamoto Takashi in bug #5906, that there were code paths whereby we could reach AtCleanup_Portals with a portal's cleanup hook still unexecuted. The changes I made a few days ago were intended to prevent that from happening, and I think that on balance it's still a good thing to avoid, so I don't want to remove the Assert in AtCleanup_Portals. Hence do this instead.

2011-03-03Mark operator implementation functions as such in their comments.Tom Lane
Historically, we've not had separate comments for built-in pg_operator entries, but relied on the comments for the underlying functions. The trouble with this approach is that there isn't much of anything to suggest to users that they'd be better off using the operators instead. So, move all the relevant comments into pg_operator, and give each underlying function a comment that just says "implementation of XXX operator". There are only about half a dozen cases where it seems reasonable to use the underlying function interchangeably with the operator; in these cases I left the same comment in place on the function as on the operator. While at it, establish a policy that every built-in function and operator entry should have a comment: there are now queries in the opr_sanity regression test that will complain if one doesn't. This only required adding a dozen or two more entries than would have been there anyway. I also spent some time trying to eliminate gratuitous inconsistencies in the style of the comments, though it's hopeless to suppose that more won't creep in soon enough. Per my proposal of 2010-10-15.

This is faked information like for domains.
2011-03-01Fix plpython breakage detected on certain Fedora machines on buildfarm.Andrew Dunstan
Patch from Jan Urbański.
2011-03-01Additional PL/Python regression test expected filePeter Eisentraut
plpython_subtransaction test needs a separate expected file specifically for Python 2.5.
2011-03-01Change pg_last_xlog_receive_location() not to move backwards. That makesHeikki Linnakangas
it a lot more useful for determining which standby is most up-to-date, for example. There was long discussions on whether overwriting existing existing WAL makes sense to begin with, and whether we should do some more extensive variable renaming, but this change nevertheless seems quite uncontroversial. Fujii Masao, reviewed by Jeff Janes, Robert Haas, Stephen Frost.
2011-03-01Fix bugs in Serializable Snapshot Isolation.Heikki Linnakangas
Change the way UPDATEs are handled. Instead of maintaining a chain of tuple-level locks in shared memory, copy any existing locks on the old tuple to the new tuple at UPDATE. Any existing page-level lock needs to be duplicated too, as a lock on the new tuple. That was neglected previously. Store xmin on tuple-level predicate locks, to distinguish a lock on an old already-recycled tuple from a new tuple at the same physical location. Failure to distinguish them caused loops in the tuple-lock chains, as reported by YAMAMOTO Takashi. Although we don't use the chain representation of UPDATEs anymore, it seems like a good idea to store the xmin to avoid some false positives if no other reason. CheckSingleTargetForConflictsIn now correctly handles the case where a lock that's being held is not reflected in the local lock table. That happens if another backend acquires a lock on our behalf due to an UPDATE or a page split. PredicateLockPageCombine now retains locks for the page that is being removed, rather than removing them. This prevents a potentially dangerous false-positive inconsistency where the local lock table believes that a lock is held, but it is actually not. Dan Ports and Kevin Grittner
2011-03-01Dump the COLLATABLE attribute in CREATE TYPEPeter Eisentraut
This was previously omitted by accident.
2011-03-01Include the target table in EXPLAIN output for ModifyTable nodes.Tom Lane
Per discussion, this seems important for plans involving writable CTEs, since there can now be more than one ModifyTable node in the plan. To retain the same formatting as for target tables of scan nodes, we show only one target table, which will be the parent table in case of an UPDATE or DELETE on an inheritance tree. Individual child tables can be determined by inspecting the child plan trees if needed.
2011-03-01Avoid excessive Hot Standby feedback messages.Robert Haas
Without this patch, when wal_receiver_status_interval=0, indicating that no status messages should be sent, Hot Standby feedback messages are instead sent extremely frequently. Fujii Masao, with documentation changes by me.
2011-02-28Rearrange snapshot handling to make rule expansion more consistent.Tom Lane
With this patch, portals, SQL functions, and SPI all agree that there should be only a CommandCounterIncrement between the queries that are generated from a single SQL command by rule expansion. Fetching a whole new snapshot now happens only between original queries. This is equivalent to the existing behavior of EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and it was judged to be the best choice since it eliminates one source of concurrency hazards for rules. The patch should also make things marginally faster by reducing the number of snapshot push/pop operations. The patch removes pg_parse_and_rewrite(), which is no longer used anywhere. There was considerable discussion about more aggressive refactoring of the query-processing functions exported by postgres.c, but for the moment nothing more has been done there. I also took the opportunity to refactor snapmgr.c's API slightly: the former PushUpdatedSnapshot() has been split into two functions. Marko Tiikkaja, reviewed by Steve Singer and Tom Lane

2011-02-27Remove remaining expected file for Python 2.2Peter Eisentraut
We don't have complete expected coverage for Python 2.2 anyway, so it doesn't seem worth keeping this one around that no one appears to be updating anyway. Visual inspection of the differences ought to be good enough for those few who care about this obsolete Python version.
2011-02-27Refactor the executor's API to support data-modifying CTEs better.Tom Lane
The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed. Those problems show it is really not practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd. Some Asserts have been added to these functions to help verify correct usage. It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively. If you really need to suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to ExecutorStart. Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code. I think this is not actually necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider committing. But it seems like good future-proofing.

2011-02-25Fix order of shutdown processing when CTEs contain inter-references.Tom Lane
We need ExecutorEnd to run the ModifyTable nodes to completion in reverse order of initialization, not forward order. Easily done by constructing the list back-to-front.
2011-02-25Support data-modifying commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) in WITH.Tom Lane
This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value, and in an unspecified order. Therefore one WITH clause can't see the effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than through the RETURNING values. And attempts to do conflicting updates will have unpredictable results. We'll need to document all that. This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on author. Marko Tiikkaja and Hitoshi Harada
