2006-02-14Add some missing vacuum_delay_point calls in GIST vacuuming.Tom Lane
2006-02-13Fix qual_is_pushdown_safe to not try to push down quals involving a whole-rowTom Lane
Var referencing the subselect output. While this case could possibly be made to work, it seems not worth expending effort on. Per report from Magnus Naeslund(f).
2006-02-12Fix bug that allowed any logged-in user to SET ROLE to any other database userTom Lane
id (CVE-2006-0553). Also fix related bug in SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION that allows unprivileged users to crash the server, if it has been compiled with Asserts enabled. The escalation-of-privilege risk exists only in 8.1.0-8.1.2. However, the Assert-crash risk exists in all releases back to 7.3. Thanks to Akio Ishida for reporting this problem.
2006-02-12Stamp 8.1.3, but exclude configure.in/configure change.Bruce Momjian
2006-02-10Check that SID is enabled while checking for Windows admin privileges.Tom Lane

2006-02-10Change search for default operator classes so that it examines all opclassesTom Lane
regardless of the current schema search path. Since CREATE OPERATOR CLASS only allows one default opclass per datatype regardless of schemas, this should have minimal impact, and it fixes problems with failure to find a desired opclass while restoring dump files. Per discussion at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00284.php. Remove now-redundant-or-unused code in typcache.c and namespace.c, and backpatch as far as 8.0.
2006-02-09Provide the libpq error message when PQputline or PQendcopy fails.Tom Lane

2006-02-07Fix HTML alignment in PQprint.Bruce Momjian
Christoph Zwerschke
2006-02-06Fix PQprint HTML tag, "centre" -> "center".Bruce Momjian
2006-02-05Fix pg_restore to properly discard COPY data when trying to continueTom Lane
after an error in a COPY statement. Formerly it thought the COPY data was SQL commands, and got quite confused. Stephen Frost
2006-02-01Fix const cast in get_progname().Bruce Momjian
Backpatch.
2006-02-01Set progname early in the postmaster/postgres binary, rather than doingBruce Momjian
it later. This fixes a problem where EXEC_BACKEND didn't have progname set, causing a segfault if log_min_messages was set below debug2 and our own snprintf.c was being used. Also alway strdup() progname. Backpatch to 8.1.X and 8.0.X.
2006-01-31Allow %TYPE to be used with SETOF, per gripe from Murat Tasan.Tom Lane
2006-01-30Fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE bug: it sometimes tried to drop UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEYTom Lane
constraints before FOREIGN KEY constraints that depended on them. Originally reported by Neil Conway on 29-Jun-2005. Patch by Nakano Yoshihisa.
2006-01-29When building a bitmap scan, must copy the bitmapqualorig expression treeTom Lane
to avoid sharing substructure with the lower-level indexquals. This is currently only an issue if there are SubPlans in the indexquals, which is uncommon but not impossible --- see bug #2218 reported by Nicholas Vinen. We use the same kluge for indexqual vs indexqualorig in the index scans themselves ... would be nice to clean this up someday.
2006-01-29Fix code that checks to see if an index can be considered to match the query'sTom Lane
requested sort order. It was assuming that build_index_pathkeys always generates a pathkey per index column, which was not true if implied equality deduction had determined that two index columns were effectively equated to each other. Simplest fix seems to be to install an option that causes build_index_pathkeys to support this behavior as well as the original one. Per report from Brian Hirt.
2006-01-28Undo perl's nasty locale setting on Windows. Since we can't do that asAndrew Dunstan
elsewhere by setting the environment appropriately, we make perl do it right after interpreter startup by calling its POSIX::setlocale().
2006-01-28Per a bug report from Theo Schlossnagle, plperl_return_next() leaksNeil Conway
memory in the executor's per-query memory context. It also inefficient: it invokes get_call_result_type() and TupleDescGetAttInMetadata() for every call to return_next, rather than invoking them once (per PL/Perl function call) and memoizing the result. This patch makes the following changes: - refactor the code to include all the "per PL/Perl function call" data inside a single struct, "current_call_data". This means we don't need to save and restore N pointers for every recursive call into PL/Perl, we can just save and restore one. - lookup the return type metadata needed by plperl_return_next() once, and then stash it in "current_call_data", so as to avoid doing the lookup for every call to return_next. - create a temporary memory context in which to evaluate the return type's input functions. This memory context is reset for each call to return_next. The patch appears to fix the memory leak, and substantially reduces the overhead imposed by return_next.
2006-01-26Fix display of whole-row Var appearing at the top level of a SELECT list.Tom Lane
While we normally prefer the notation "foo.*" for a whole-row Var, that does not work at SELECT top level, because in that context the parser will assume that what is wanted is to expand the "*" into a list of separate target columns, yielding behavior different from a whole-row Var. We have to emit just "foo" instead in that context. Per report from Sokolov Yura.
2006-01-25Remove unnecessary PQconsumeInput call from PQputCopyData; it's redundantTom Lane
because pqSendSome will absorb input data anytime it'd be forced to block. Avoiding a kernel call per PQputCopyData call helps COPY speed materially. Alon Goldshuv
2006-01-24Fix unportable usage of socklen_t: should use ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 macroTom Lane
provided by configure, instead. Per bug #2205.
2006-01-21Repair longstanding bug in slru/clog logic: it is possible for two backendsTom Lane
to try to create a log segment file concurrently, but the code erroneously specified O_EXCL to open(), resulting in a needless failure. Before 7.4, it was even a PANIC condition :-(. Correct code is actually simpler than what we had, because we can just say O_CREAT to start with and not need a second open() call. I believe this accounts for several recent reports of hard-to-reproduce "could not create file ...: File exists" errors in both pg_clog and pg_subtrans.
2006-01-20Fix thinko in autovacuum's test to skip temp tables: want to skip anyTom Lane
temp table not only our own process' tables. It's not real important since vacuum.c will skip temp tables anyway, but might as well make the code do what it claims to do.
2006-01-19Add some test scaffolding to allow cache-flush stress testing (and I doTom Lane
mean stress ... system is orders of magnitude slower with this enabled).
2006-01-19Remove $(DESTDIR) from the pgxs BE_DLLLIBS= -L path for AIX and Darwin.Bruce Momjian
2006-01-19Remove $(DESTDIR) from the pgxs BE_DLLLIBS= -L path.Bruce Momjian
2006-01-19Avoid crashing if relcache flush occurs while trying to load data into anTom Lane
index's support-function cache (in index_getprocinfo). Since none of that data can change for an index that's in active use, it seems sufficient to treat all open indexes the same way we were treating "nailed" system indexes --- that is, just re-read the pg_class row and leave the rest of the relcache entry strictly alone. The pg_class re-read might not be strictly necessary either, but since the reltablespace and relfilenode can change in normal operation it seems safest to do it. (We don't support changing any of the other info about an index at all, at the moment.) Back-patch as far as 8.0. It might be possible to adapt the patch to 7.4, but it would take more work than I care to expend for such a low-probability problem. 7.3 is out of luck for sure.
2006-01-19Fix pgxs -L library path specification for Win32 and Cygwin, was /bin,Bruce Momjian
now /lib.
2006-01-19It turns out that TablespaceCreateDbspace fails badly if a relcache flushTom Lane
occurs when it tries to heap_open pg_tablespace. When control returns to smgrcreate, that routine will be holding a dangling pointer to a closed SMgrRelation, resulting in mayhem. This is of course a consequence of the violation of proper module layering inherent in having smgr.c call a tablespace command routine, but the simplest fix seems to be to change the locking mechanism. There's no real need for TablespaceCreateDbspace to touch pg_tablespace at all --- it's only opening it as a way of locking against a parallel DROP TABLESPACE command. A much better answer is to create a special-purpose LWLock to interlock these two operations. This drops TablespaceCreateDbspace quite a few layers down the food chain and makes it something reasonably safe for smgr to call.
2006-01-19Fix a tiny memory leak (one List header) in RelationCacheInvalidate().Tom Lane
This is utterly insignificant in normal operation, but it becomes a problem during cache inval stress testing. The original coding in fact had no leak --- the 8.0 List rewrite created the issue. I wonder whether list_concat should pfree the discarded header?
2006-01-18Modify pgstats code to reduce performance penalties from oversized stats dataTom Lane
files: avoid creating stats hashtable entries for tables that aren't being touched except by vacuum/analyze, ensure that entries for dropped tables are removed promptly, and tweak the data layout to avoid storing useless struct padding. Also improve the performance of pgstat_vacuum_tabstat(), and make sure that autovacuum invokes it exactly once per autovac cycle rather than multiple times or not at all. This should cure recent complaints about 8.1 showing much higher stats I/O volume than was seen in 8.0. It'd still be a good idea to revisit the design with an eye to not re-writing the entire stats dataset every half second ... but that would be too much to backpatch, I fear.
2006-01-17Fix fsync code to test whether F_FULLFSYNC is available, instead ofTom Lane
assuming it always is on Darwin. Per report from Neil Brandt.
2006-01-17Repair problems with the result of lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() possibly beingTom Lane
discarded by cache flush while still in use. This is a minimal patch that just copies the tupdesc anywhere it could be needed across a flush. Applied to back branches only; Neil Conway is working on a better long-term solution for HEAD.
2006-01-15When using GCC on AMD64 and PPC, ECPGget_variable() takes a va_list *, notNeil Conway
a va_list. Christof Petig's previous patch made this change, but neglected to update ecpglib/descriptor.c, resulting in a compiler warning (and a likely runtime crash) on AMD64 and PPC.
2006-01-14Fix pg_ctl crash on "unregister" when a data directory is not specified.Peter Eisentraut
by Magnus Hagander
2006-01-12We neglected to apply domain constraints on UNKNOWN parameters toNeil Conway
prepared statements, per report from David Wheeler.
2006-01-12Repair "Halloween problem" in EvalPlanQual: a tuple that's been inserted byTom Lane
our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
2006-01-10Improve error messages for missing-FROM-entry cases, as per recent discussion.Tom Lane
2006-01-10In PLy_function_build_args(), the code loops repeatedly, constructingNeil Conway
one argument at a time and then inserting the argument into a Python list via PyList_SetItem(). This "steals" the reference to the argument: that is, the reference to the new list member is now held by the Python list itself. This works fine, except if an elog occurs. This causes the function's PG_CATCH() block to be invoked, which decrements the reference counts on both the current argument and the list of arguments. If the elog happens to occur during the second or subsequent iteration of the loop, the reference count on the current argument will be decremented twice. The fix is simple: set the local pointer to the current argument to NULL immediately after adding it to the argument list. This ensures that the Py_XDECREF() in the PG_CATCH() block doesn't double-decrement.
2006-01-09Fix pg_dump to add the required OPERATOR() decoration to schema-qualifiedTom Lane
operator names. This is needed when dumping operator definitions that have COMMUTATOR (or similar) links to operators in other schemas. Apparently Daniel Whitter is the first person ever to try this :-(
2006-01-08Stop perl from hijacking stdio and other stuff on Windows.Andrew Dunstan
2006-01-07Add RelationOpenSmgr() calls to ensure rd_smgr is valid when we try toTom Lane
use it. While it normally has been opened earlier during btree index build, testing shows that it's possible for the link to be closed again if an sinval reset occurs while the index is being built.
2006-01-07During CatCacheRemoveCList, we must now remove any members that areTom Lane
dead and have become unreferenced. Before 8.1, such members were left for AtEOXact_CatCache() to clean up, but now AtEOXact_CatCache isn't supposed to have anything to do. In an assert-enabled build this bug leads to an assertion failure at transaction end, but in a non-assert build the dead member is effectively just a small memory leak. Per report from Jeremy Drake.
2006-01-06Fix failure to apply domain constraints to a NULL constant that's added toTom Lane
an INSERT target list during rule rewriting. Per report from John Supplee.
2006-01-06Fix Windows-only postmaster code to reject a connection request and continue,Tom Lane
rather than elog(FATAL), when there is no more room in ShmemBackendArray. This is a security issue since too many connection requests arriving close together could cause the postmaster to shut down, resulting in denial of service. Reported by Yoshiyuki Asaba, fixed by Magnus Hagander.
2006-01-06Convert Assert checking for empty page into a regular test and elog.Tom Lane
The consequences of overwriting a non-empty page are bad enough that we should not omit this test in production builds.
2006-01-06Fix ReadBuffer() to correctly handle the case where it's trying to extendTom Lane
the relation but it finds a pre-existing valid buffer. The buffer does not correspond to any page known to the kernel, so we *must* do smgrextend to ensure that the space becomes allocated. The 7.x branches all do this correctly, but the corner case got lost somewhere during 8.0 bufmgr rewrites. (My fault no doubt :-( ... I think I assumed that such a buffer must be not-BM_VALID, which is not so.)
