2009-05-26Allow the second argument of pg_get_expr() to be just zero when deparsingTom Lane
an expression that's not supposed to contain variables. Per discussion with Gevik Babakhani, this eliminates the need for an ugly kluge (namely, specifying some unrelated relation name). Remove one such kluge from pg_dump.
2009-05-26Remove the useless and rather inconsistent return values of EncodeDateOnly,Tom Lane
EncodeTimeOnly, EncodeDateTime, EncodeInterval. These don't have any good reason to fail, and their callers were mostly not checking anyway.
2009-05-26Remove unused declarations of EncodeTimeOnly and DecodeTimeOnly.Tom Lane
2009-05-26Add range checks to time_recv() and timetz_recv(), to prevent binary inputTom Lane
of time values that would not be accepted via textual input. Per gripe from Andrew McNamara. This is potentially a back-patchable bug fix, but for the moment it doesn't seem sufficiently high impact to justify doing that.
2009-05-24Use more-portable coding for the check on handing out the last availableTom Lane
relopt_kind value in add_reloption_kind(). Per Zdenek Kotala.
2009-05-24Fix LIKE's special-case code for % followed by _. I'm not entirely sure thatTom Lane
this case is worth a special code path, but a special code path that gets the boundary condition wrong is definitely no good. Per bug #4821 from Andrew Gierth. In passing, clean up some minor code formatting issues (excess parentheses and blank lines in odd places). Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.
2009-05-21Resort tsvector's lexemes in tsvectorrecv instead of emmiting an error.Teodor Sigaev
Basically, it's needed to support binary dump from 8.3 because ordering rule was changed. Per discussion with Bruce.

2009-05-19Update relpages and reltuples estimates in stand-alone ANALYZE, even ifHeikki Linnakangas
there's no analyzable attributes or indexes. We also used to report 0 live and dead tuples for such tables, which messed with autovacuum threshold calculations. This fixes bug #4812 reported by George Su. Backpatch back to 8.1.

2009-05-16Improve comments in pg_ident.conf.sample.Tom Lane
2009-05-15Fix all the server-side SIGQUIT handlers (grumble ... why so many identicalTom Lane
copies?) to ensure they really don't run proc_exit/shmem_exit callbacks, as was intended. I broke this behavior recently by installing atexit callbacks without thinking about the one case where we truly don't want to run those callback functions. Noted in an example from Dave Page.

2009-05-14Add recovery_end_command option to recovery.conf. recovery_end_commandHeikki Linnakangas
is run at the end of archive recovery, providing a chance to do external cleanup. Modify pg_standby so that it no longer removes the trigger file, that is to be done using the recovery_end_command now. Provide a "smart" failover mode in pg_standby, where we don't fail over immediately, but only after recovering all unapplied WAL from the archive. That gives you zero data loss assuming all WAL was archived before failover, which is what most users of pg_standby actually want. recovery_end_command by Simon Riggs, pg_standby changes by Fujii Masao and myself.
2009-05-13Add checks to DefineQueryRewrite() to prohibit attaching rules to relationsTom Lane
that aren't RELKIND_RELATION or RELKIND_VIEW, and to disallow attaching rules to system relations unless allowSystemTableMods is on. This is to make the behavior of CREATE RULE more like CREATE TRIGGER, which disallows the comparable cases. Per discussion of bug #4808.
2009-05-13Rewrite xml.c's memory management (yet again). Give up on the idea ofTom Lane
redirecting libxml's allocations into a Postgres context. Instead, just let it use malloc directly, and add PG_TRY blocks as needed to be sure we release libxml data structures in error recovery code paths. This is ugly but seems much more likely to play nicely with third-party uses of libxml, as seen in recent trouble reports about using Perl XML facilities in pl/perl and bug #4774 about contrib/xml2. I left the code for allocation redirection in place, but it's only built/used if you #define USE_LIBXMLCONTEXT. This is because I found it useful to corral libxml's allocations in a palloc context when hunting for libxml memory leaks, and we're surely going to have more of those in the future with this type of approach. But we don't want it turned on in a normal build because it breaks exactly what we need to fix. I have not re-indented most of the code sections that are now wrapped by PG_TRY(); that's for ease of review. pg_indent will fix it. This is a pre-existing bug in 8.3, but I don't dare back-patch this change until it's gotten a reasonable amount of field testing.
2009-05-12Fix intratransaction memory leaks in xml_recv, xmlconcat, xmlroot, andTom Lane
xml_parse, all arising from the same sloppy usage of parse_xml_decl. The original coding had that function returning its output string parameters in the libxml context, which is long-lived, and all but one of its callers neglected to free the strings afterwards. The easiest and most bulletproof fix is to return the strings in the local palloc context instead, since that's short-lived. This was only costing a dozen or two bytes per function call, but that adds up fast if the function is called repeatedly ... Noted while poking at the more general problem of what to do with our libxml memory allocation hooks. Back-patch to 8.3, which has the identical coding.
2009-05-12Fix LOCK TABLE to eliminate the race condition that could make it give weirdTom Lane
errors when tables are concurrently dropped. To do this we must take lock on each relation before we check its privileges. The old code was trying to do that the other way around, which is a bit pointless when there are lots of other commands that lock relations before checking privileges. I did keep it checking each relation's privilege before locking the next relation, which is a detail that ALTER TABLE isn't too picky about.
2009-05-12Modify find_inheritance_children() and find_all_inheritors() to add theTom Lane
ability to lock relations as they scan pg_inherits, and to ignore any relations that have disappeared by the time we get lock on them. This makes uses of these functions safe against concurrent DROP operations on child tables: we will effectively ignore any just-dropped child, rather than possibly throwing an error as in recent bug report from Thomas Johansson (and similar past complaints). The behavior should not change otherwise, since the code was acquiring those same locks anyway, just a little bit later. An exception is LockTableCommand(), which is still behaving unsafely; but that seems to require some more discussion before we change it.
2009-05-12Do some minor code refactoring in preparation for changing the APIs ofTom Lane
find_inheritance_children() and find_all_inheritors(). I got annoyed that these are buried inside the planner but mostly used elsewhere. So, create a new file catalog/pg_inherits.c and put them there, along with a couple of other functions that search pg_inherits. The code that modifies pg_inherits is (still) in tablecmds.c --- it's kind of entangled with unrelated code that modifies pg_depend and other stuff, so pulling it out seemed like a bigger change than I wanted to make right now. But this file provides a natural home for it if anyone ever gets around to that. This commit just moves code around; it doesn't change anything, except I succumbed to the temptation to make a couple of trivial optimizations in typeInheritsFrom().
2009-05-11Partially revert my patch of 2008-11-12 that installed a limit on the numberTom Lane
of AND/OR clause branches that predtest.c would attempt to deal with. As noted in bug #4721, that change disabled proof attempts for sizes of problems that people are actually expecting it to work for. The original complaint it was trying to solve was O(N^2) behavior for long IN-lists, so let's try applying the limit to just ScalarArrayOpExprs rather than everything. Another case of "foolish consistency" I fear. Back-patch to 8.2, same as the previous patch was.

2009-05-10Make a marginal performance improvement in predicate_implied_by andTom Lane
predicate_refuted_by: if either top-level input is a single-element list, reduce it to its lone member before proceeding. This avoids a useless level of AND-recursion within the recursive proof routines. It's worth doing because, for example, if the clause is a 100-element list and the predicate is a 1-element list then we'd otherwise strip the predicate's list structure 100 times as we iterate through the clause. It's only needed at top level because there won't be any trivial ANDs below that --- this situation is an artifact of the decision to represent even single-item conditions as Lists in the "implicit AND" format, and that format is only used at the top level of any predicate or restriction condition.
2009-05-10Adjust pg_dumpall so that it emits ENCODING, LC_COLLATE, and LC_CTYPE optionsTom Lane
in its CREATE DATABASE commands only for databases that have settings different from the installation defaults. This is a low-tech method of avoiding unnecessary platform dependencies in dump files. Eventually we ought to have a platform-independent way of specifying LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE, but that's not going to happen for 8.4, and this patch at least avoids the issue for people who aren't setting up per-database locales. ENCODING doesn't have the platform dependency problem, but it seems consistent to make it act the same as the locale settings.
2009-05-09Fix cost_nestloop and cost_hashjoin to model the behavior of semi and antiTom Lane
joins a bit better, ie, understand the differing cost functions for matched and unmatched outer tuples. There is more that could be done in cost_hashjoin but this already helps a great deal. Per discussions with Robert Haas.

linkage on Win32. Tested by Hiroshi Saito
2009-05-07Add an option to AlterTableCreateToastTable() to allow its caller to forceTom Lane
a toast table to be built, even if the sum-of-column-widths calculation indicates one isn't needed. This is needed by pg_migrator because if the old table has a toast table, we have to migrate over the toast table since it might contain some live data, even though subsequent column drops could mean that no recently-added rows could require toasting.
2009-05-07Ooops ... make_outerjoininfo wasn't actually enforcing the join orderTom Lane
restrictions specified for semijoins in optimizer/README, to wit that you can't reassociate outer joins into or out of the RHS of a semijoin. Per report from Heikki.
2009-05-07Request XLOG switch before writing checkpoint in pg_start_backup(). OtherwiseHeikki Linnakangas
you can end up with an unrecoverable backup if you start a new base backup right after finishing archive recovery. In that scenario, the redo pointer of the checkpoint that pg_start_backup() writes points to the XLOG segment where the timeline-changing end-of-archive-recovery checkpoint is. The beginning of that segment contains pages with the old timeline ID, and we don't accept that in recovery unless we find a history file covering the old timeline ID. If you omit pg_xlog from the base backup and clear the archive directory before starting the backup, there will be no such history file available. The bug is present in all versions since PITR was introduced in 8.0, but I'm back-patching only back to 8.2. Earlier versions didn't have XLOG switch records, making this fix unfeasible. Given the lack of reports until now, it doesn't seem worthwhile to spend more effort to fix 8.0 and 8.1. Per report and suggestion by Mikael Krantz
2009-05-06Tweak distribute_qual_to_rels so that when we decide a pseudoconstant qualTom Lane
can be pushed to the top of the join tree, we update both the relids and qualscope variables to keep them in sync. This prevents a possible later failure of an Assert clause, and affects nothing else since qualscope isn't used later except for that Assert. At the moment the Assert shouldn't be reachable when we've pushed the qual up; but this is cheap insurance, and it's more sensible anyway in terms of the overall logic of the routine. Per analysis of a bug report from Stefan Huehner. I'm not back-patching this since it's just future-proofing; but if anyone gets tempted to change check_outerjoin_delay again in the back branches, this might be needed.
2009-05-06Modify CREATE DATABASE to enforce that the source database's encoding settingTom Lane
must be used for the new database, except when copying from template0. This is the same rule that we now enforce for locale settings, and it has the same motivation: databases other than template0 might contain data that would be invalid according to a different setting. This represents another step in a continuing process of locking down ways in which encoding violations could occur inside the backend. Per discussion of a few days ago. In passing, fix pre-existing breakage of mbregress.sh, and fix up a couple of ereport() calls in dbcommands.c that failed to specify sqlstate codes.
2009-05-06Fix ecpg tests for change that disallowed Unicode literals unlessTom Lane
standard_conforming_strings is on.
2009-05-05Tweak a comment to agree a bit better with the new dispensation thatTom Lane
locales are database-wide, not server-wide.
2009-05-05Minor improvement: avoid assuming that GetLastError value cannot beTom Lane
affected by CloseHandle() or Sleep().
2009-05-05Make new complaint about unsafe Unicode literals include an error location.Tom Lane
Every other ereport in scan.l has one, this should too.
2009-05-05Install an atexit(2) callback that ensures that proc_exit's cleanup processingTom Lane
will still be performed if something in a backend process calls exit() directly, instead of going through proc_exit() as we prefer. This is a second response to the issue that we might load third-party code that doesn't know it should not call exit(). Such a call will now cause a reasonably graceful backend shutdown, if possible. (Of course, if the reason for the exit() call is out-of-memory or some such, we might not be able to recover, but at least we will try.)
2009-05-05Install a "dead man switch" to allow the postmaster to detect cases whereTom Lane
a backend has done exit(0) or exit(1) without having disengaged itself from shared memory. We are at risk for this whenever third-party code is loaded into a backend, since such code might not know it's supposed to go through proc_exit() instead. Also, it is reported that under Windows there are ways to externally kill a process that cause the status code returned to the postmaster to be indistinguishable from a voluntary exit (thank you, Microsoft). If this does happen then the system is probably hosed --- for instance, the dead session might still be holding locks. So the best recovery method is to treat this like a backend crash. The dead man switch is armed for a particular child process when it acquires a regular PGPROC, and disarmed when the PGPROC is released; these should be the first and last touches of shared memory resources in a backend, or close enough anyway. This choice means there is no coverage for auxiliary processes, but I doubt we need that, since they shouldn't be executing any user-provided code anyway. This patch also improves the management of the EXEC_BACKEND ShmemBackendArray array a bit, by reducing search costs. Although this problem is of long standing, the lack of field complaints seems to mean it's not critical enough to risk back-patching; at least not till we get some more testing of this mechanism.
