2010-10-27Previous patch had no detectable virtue other than being a one-liner.Tom Lane
Try to make the code look self-consistent again, so it doesn't confuse future developers.
2010-10-27Fix long-standing segfault when accept() or one of the calls made rightHeikki Linnakangas
after accepting a connection fails, and the server is compiled with GSSAPI support. Report and patch by Alexander V. Chernikov, bug #5731.
2010-10-26Fix up some oversights in psql's Unicode-escape support.Tom Lane
Original patch failed to include new exclusive states in a switch that needed to include them; and also was guilty of very fuzzy thinking about how to handle error cases. Per bug #5729 from Alan Choi.
2010-10-26Add a client authentication hook.Robert Haas
KaiGai Kohei, with minor cleanup of the comments by me.
2010-10-26Minor fixups for psql's process_file() function.Robert Haas
- Avoid closing stdin, since we didn't open it. Previously multiple inclusions of stdin would be terminated with a single quit, now a separate quit is needed for each invocation. Previous behavior also accessed stdin after it was fclose()d, which is undefined behavior per ANSI C. - Properly restore pset.inputfile, since the caller expects to be able to free that memory. Marti Raudsepp
2010-10-26Fix dumb typo in SECURITY LABEL error message.Robert Haas
Report by Peter Eisentraut.
2010-10-26Before removing backup_label and irrevocably changing pg_control file, checkHeikki Linnakangas
that WAL file containing the checkpoint redo-location can be found. This avoids making the cluster irrecoverable if the redo location is in an earlie WAL file than the checkpoint record. Report, analysis and patch by Jeff Davis, with small changes by me.
2010-10-26Add missing newlines at end of filesPeter Eisentraut
2010-10-26Fix typos "are are".Itagaki Takahiro
2010-10-25Refactor typenameTypeId()Peter Eisentraut
Split the old typenameTypeId() into two functions: A new typenameTypeId() that returns only a type OID, and typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and typmod. This isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.
2010-10-25Fix overly-enthusiastic Assert in printing of Param reference expressions.Tom Lane
A NestLoopParam's value can only be a Var or Aggref, but this isn't the case in general for SubPlan parameters, so print_parameter_expr had better be prepared to cope. Brain fade in my recent patch to print the referenced expression instead of just printing $N for PARAM_EXEC Params. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
2010-10-25Fix inline_set_returning_function() to preserve the invalItems list properly.Tom Lane
This avoids a possible crash when inlining a SRF whose argument list contains a reference to an inline-able user function. The crash is quite reproducible with CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY enabled, but would be less certain in a production build. Problem introduced in 9.0 by the named-arguments patch, which requires invoking eval_const_expressions() before we can try to inline a SRF. Per report from Brendan Jurd.
2010-10-25Work around rounding misbehavior exposed by buildfarm.Tom Lane
2010-10-24Remove unnecessary use of trigger flag to hash plperl functionsAndrew Dunstan
2010-10-24Allow new values to be added to an existing enum type.Tom Lane
After much expenditure of effort, we've got this to the point where the performance penalty is pretty minimal in typical cases. Andrew Dunstan, reviewed by Brendan Jurd, Dean Rasheed, and Tom Lane
2010-10-24Support suffix matching of host names in pg_hba.confPeter Eisentraut
A name starting with a dot can be used to match a suffix of the actual host name (e.g., .example.com matches foo.example.com).
2010-10-22Add semicolon, missed in previous patch. And update the keyword list inHeikki Linnakangas
the docs to reflect that OFF is now unreserved. Spotted by Tom Lane.
2010-10-22Make OFF keyword unreserved. It's not hard to imagine wanting to use 'off'Heikki Linnakangas
as a variable or column name, and it's not reserved in recent versions of the SQL spec either. This became particularly annoying in 9.0, before that PL/pgSQL replaced variable names in queries with parameter markers, so it was possible to use OFF and many other backend parser keywords as variable names. Because of that, backpatch to 9.0.
2010-10-21Improve handling of domains over arrays.Tom Lane
This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type. In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type, *not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied. If we're intending to store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the domain type so that constraints are re-checked. For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints. For the moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency. To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type; the typelem will always be zero instead. In those places where it's really okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type. catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents. Per bug #5717 from Richard Huxton and subsequent discussion.
2010-10-20Remove obsolete comment, per Josh Kupershmidt.Tom Lane
2010-10-20Don't try to fetch database name when SetTransactionIdLimit() is executedTom Lane
outside a transaction. This repairs brain fade in my patch of 2009-08-30: the reason we had been storing oldest-database name, not OID, in ShmemVariableCache was of course to avoid having to do a catalog lookup at times when it might be unsafe. This error explains why Aleksandr Dushein is having trouble getting out of an XID wraparound state in bug #5718, though not how he got into that state in the first place. I suspect pg_upgrade is at fault there.
2010-10-20Remove AtStart_Cache() call in CommandCounterIncrement().Alvaro Herrera
This call was present in the aboriginal code from Berkeley, and has never been touched; it may very well be that it was there to mask effects of bugs in other places and it may no longer be necessary. The removal has been foreseen in a code comment since 2007; this seems to be a good time to test this hypothesis.
2010-10-20Fix ecpg test building process to not generate *.dSYM junk on Macs.Tom Lane
The trick is to not try to build executables directly from .c files, but to always build the intermediate .o files. For obscure reasons, Darwin's version of gcc will leave debug cruft behind in the first case but not the second. Per complaint from Robert Haas.
2010-10-19Fix incorrect generation of whole-row variables in planner.Tom Lane
A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars the same way the parser does. Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).
2010-10-19Unbreak comments on composite type attributes.Robert Haas

2010-10-17Fix a passel of inappropriately-named global functions in GIN.Tom Lane
The GIN code has absolutely no business exporting GIN-specific functions with names as generic as compareItemPointers() or newScanKey(); that's just trouble waiting to happen. I got annoyed about this again just now and decided to fix it. This commit ensures that all global symbols defined in access/gin/ have names including "gin" or "Gin". There were a couple of cases, like names involving "PostingItem", where arguably the names were already sufficiently nongeneric; but I figured as long as I was risking creating merge problems for unapplied GIN patches I might as well impose a uniform policy. I didn't touch any static symbol names. There might be some places where it'd be appropriate to rename some static functions to match siblings that are exported, but I'll leave that for another time.
2010-10-17Improve GIN indexscan cost estimation.Tom Lane
The better estimate requires more statistics than we previously stored: in particular, counts of "entry" versus "data" pages within the index, as well as knowledge of the number of distinct key values. We collect this information during initial index build and update it during VACUUM, storing the info in new fields on the index metapage. No initdb is required because these fields will read as zeroes in a pre-existing index, and the new gincostestimate code is coded to behave (reasonably) sanely if they are zeroes. Teodor Sigaev, reviewed by Jan Urbanski, Tom Lane, and Itagaki Takahiro.
2010-10-17Fix msvc build for localized versions of Visual C++Magnus Hagander
Look only at the non-localized part of the output from "vcbuild /?", which is used to determine the version of Visual Studio in use. Different languages seem to localize different amounts of the string, but we assume the part "Microsoft Visual C++" won't be modified.
2010-10-16Fix recent changes to not break non-IPV6-aware systems.Tom Lane
2010-10-15Allow WITH clauses to be attached to INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements.Tom Lane
This is not the hoped-for facility of using INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE inside a WITH, but rather the other way around. It seems useful in its own right anyway. Note: catversion bumped because, although the contents of stored rules might look compatible, there's actually a subtle semantic change. A single Query containing a WITH and INSERT...VALUES now represents writing the WITH before the INSERT, not before the VALUES. While it's not clear that that matters to anyone, it seems like a good idea to have it cited in the git history for catversion.h. Original patch by Marko Tiikkaja, with updating and cleanup by Hitoshi Harada.

2010-10-15Fix low-risk potential denial of service against RADIUS login.Magnus Hagander
Corrupt RADIUS responses were treated as errors and not ignored (which the RFC2865 states they should be). This meant that a user with unfiltered access to the network of the PostgreSQL or RADIUS server could send a spoofed RADIUS response to the PostgreSQL server causing it to reject a valid login, provided the attacker could also guess (or brute-force) the correct port number. Fix is to simply retry the receive in a loop until the timeout has expired or a valid (signed by the correct RADIUS server) packet arrives. Reported by Alan DeKok in bug #5687.

2010-10-14Support MergeAppend plans, to allow sorted output from append relations.Tom Lane
This patch eliminates the former need to sort the output of an Append scan when an ordered scan of an inheritance tree is wanted. This should be particularly useful for fast-start cases such as queries with LIMIT. Original patch by Greg Stark, with further hacking by Hans-Jurgen Schonig, Robert Haas, and Tom Lane.
2010-10-14Fix makefile logic to not break the build when xgettext is missingPeter Eisentraut
xgettext is only required when make init-po is run manually; it is not required for a build. The intent to handle that was already there, but the ifdef's were in the wrong place.

2010-10-14Applied patch by Itagaki Takahiro to fix incorrect status calculation inMichael Meskes
ecpglib. Instead of parsing the statement just as ask the database server. This patch removes the whole client side track keeping of the current transaction status.

2010-10-13Accept 'public' as a pseudo-role name in has_table_privilege() and friendsItagaki Takahiro
to see if a particular privilege has been granted to PUBLIC. The issue was reported by Jim Nasby. Patch by Alvaro Herrera, and reviewed by KaiGai Kohei.
2010-10-12Remove some unnecessary tests of pgstat_track_counts.Tom Lane
We may as well make pgstat_count_heap_scan() and related macros just count whenever rel->pgstat_info isn't null. Testing pgstat_track_counts buys nothing at all in the normal case where that flag is ON; and when it's OFF, the pgstat_info link will be null, so it's still a useless test. This change is unlikely to buy any noticeable performance improvement, but a cycle shaved is a cycle earned; and my investigations earlier today convinced me that we're down to the point where individual instructions in the inner execution loops are starting to matter.
2010-10-11Fix plpython so that it again honors typmod while assigning to tuple fields.Tom Lane
This was broken in 9.0 while improving plpython's conversion behavior for bytea and boolean. Per bug report from maizi.
2010-10-11Fix assorted bugs in GIN's WAL replay logic.Tom Lane
The original coding was quite sloppy about handling the case where XLogReadBuffer fails (because the page has since been deleted). This would result in either "bad buffer id: 0" or an Assert failure during replay, if indeed the page were no longer there. In a couple of places it also neglected to check whether the change had already been applied, which would probably result in corrupted index contents. I believe that bug #5703 is an instance of the first problem. These issues could show up without replication, but only if you were unfortunate enough to crash between modification of a GIN index and the next checkpoint. Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as GIN has WAL support.
2010-10-10Improve the planner's simplification of NOT constructs.Tom Lane
This patch merges the responsibility for NOT-flattening into eval_const_expressions' processing. It wasn't done that way originally because prepqual.c is far older than eval_const_expressions. But putting this work into eval_const_expressions saves one pass over the qual trees, and in fact saves even more than that because we can exploit the knowledge that the subexpressions have already been recursively simplified. Doing it this way also lets us do it uniformly over all expressions, whereas prepqual.c formerly just did it at top level to save cycles. That should improve the planner's ability to recognize logically-equivalent constructs. While at it, also add the ability to fold a NOT into BooleanTest and NullTest constructs (the latter only for the scalar-datatype case). Per discussion of bug #5702.
2010-10-10Teach psql to do tab completion for names of psql variables.Tom Lane
Completion is supported in the context of \set and when interpolating a variable value using :foo etc. In passing, fix some places in tab-complete.c that weren't following project style for comment formatting. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Itagaki Takahiro
2010-10-10Support triggers on views.Tom Lane
This patch adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger, which is fired instead of performing a physical insert/update/delete. The trigger function is passed the entire old and/or new rows of the view, and must figure out what to do to the underlying tables to implement the update. So this feature can be used to implement updatable views using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking. In passing, this patch corrects the names of some columns in the information_schema.triggers view. It seems the SQL committee renamed them somewhere between SQL:99 and SQL:2003. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Bernd Helmle; some additional hacking by me.
