2009-10-06Change CREATE TABLE so that column default expressions coming from differentHEADmasterTom Lane
inheritance parent tables are compared using equal(), instead of doing strcmp() on the nodeToString representation. The old implementation was always a tad cheesy, and it finally fails completely as of 8.4, now that the node tree might contain syntax location information. equal() knows it's supposed to ignore those fields, but strcmp() hardly can. Per recent report from Scott Ribe.
2009-10-05Create an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which allows users to adjustTom Lane
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects. Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects created in particular schemas too. A notable benefit is that users can override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE privilege traditionally granted by default for functions. Petr Jelinek
2009-10-03Fix assorted memory leaks in pg_hba.conf parsing. Over a sufficientlyTom Lane
large number of SIGHUP cycles, these would have run the postmaster out of memory. Noted while testing memory-leak scenario in postgresql.conf configuration-change-printing patch.
2009-10-03Fix a couple of issues in recent patch to print updates to postgresql.confTom Lane
settings: avoid calling superuser() in contexts where it's not defined, don't leak the transient copies of GetConfigOption output, and avoid the whole exercise in postmaster child processes. I found that actually no current caller of GetConfigOption has any use for its internal check of GUC_SUPERUSER_ONLY. But rather than just remove that entirely, it seemed better to add a parameter indicating whether to enforce the check. Per report from Simon and subsequent testing.
2009-10-02Fix an oversight in an 8.3-era patch: pgstat_initstats should allow statsTom Lane
to be collected for sequences. Report and fix by Akira Kurosawa
2009-10-02Make sure that GIN fast-insert and regular code paths enforce the sameTom Lane
tuple size limit. Improve the error message for index-tuple-too-large so that it includes the actual size, the limit, and the index name. Sync with the btree occurrences of the same error. Back-patch to 8.4 because it appears that the out-of-sync problem is occurring in the field. Teodor and Tom
2009-10-02Fix erroneous handling of shared dependencies (ie dependencies on roles)Tom Lane
in CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION. The original code would update pg_shdepend as if a new function was being created, even if it wasn't, with two bad consequences: pg_shdepend might record the wrong owner for the function, and any dependencies for roles mentioned in the function's ACL would be lost. The fix is very easy: just don't touch pg_shdepend at all when doing a function replacement. Also update the CREATE FUNCTION reference page, which never explained exactly what changes and doesn't change in a function replacement. In passing, fix the CREATE VIEW reference page similarly; there's no code bug there, but the docs didn't say what happens.
2009-10-02Ensure that a cursor has an immutable snapshot throughout its lifespan.Alvaro Herrera
The old coding was using a regular snapshot, referenced elsewhere, that was subject to having its command counter updated. Fix by creating a private copy of the snapshot exclusively for the cursor. Backpatch to 8.4, which is when the bug was introduced during the snapshot management rewrite.

decimal handling.

in plpgsql. Clean up a couple of corner cases in the MOVE/FETCH syntax. Pavel Stehule
2009-09-29Fix equivclass.c's not-quite-right strategy for handling X=X clauses.Tom Lane
The original coding correctly noted that these aren't just redundancies (they're effectively X IS NOT NULL, assuming = is strict). However, they got treated that way if X happened to be in a single-member EquivalenceClass already, which could happen if there was an ORDER BY X clause, for instance. The simplest and most reliable solution seems to be to not try to process such clauses through the EquivalenceClass machinery; just throw them back for traditional processing. The amount of work that'd be needed to be smarter than that seems out of proportion to the benefit. Per bug #5084 from Bernt Marius Johnsen, and analysis by Andrew Gierth.

Functions as well as non SRFs. Backpatch to 8.1 where these facilities were introduced. with a little help from Abhijit Menon-Sen.

2009-09-27Remove no-longer-needed ExecCountSlots infrastructure.Tom Lane
2009-09-27Replace the array-style TupleTable data structure with a simple List ofTom Lane
TupleTableSlot nodes. This eliminates the need to count in advance how many Slots will be needed, which seems more than worth the small increase in the amount of palloc traffic during executor startup. The ExecCountSlots infrastructure is now all dead code, but I'll remove it in a separate commit for clarity. Per a comment from Robert Haas.
2009-09-27Make libpq reject non-numeric and out-of-range port numbers with a suitableTom Lane
error message, rather than blundering on and failing with something opaque. Sam Mason

2009-09-27Ooops, fix to Genbki.pm for ROWTYPE_OID wasn't quite right. Also, make a fewTom Lane
spacing tweaks so it produces exactly the same output as genbki.sh.
2009-09-27Simplify the bootstrap (BKI) code by getting rid of a useless table of allTom Lane
the strings seen during the bootstrap run. There might have been some actual point to doing that, many years ago, but as far as I can see the only value now is to conserve a bit of memory. Even if we cared about wasting a megabyte or so during the initdb run, it'd be far more effective to arrange to release memory at the end of each BKI command, instead of intentionally hanging onto strings that might never be used again. Not maintaining the table probably makes it faster too; but the main point of this patch is to get rid of a couple hundred lines of unnecessary and rather crufty code.
2009-09-26Hmm, seems a lot of the buildfarm is running versions of awk thatTom Lane
don't have gensub(). Use sub() instead, tedious though it be.
2009-09-26Revert my ill-considered change that made formrdesc not insert the correctTom Lane
relation rowtype OID into the relcache entries it builds. This ensures that catcache copies of the relation tupdescs will be fully correct. While the deficiency doesn't seem to have any effect in the current sources, we have been bitten by not-quite-right catcache tupdescs before, so it seems like a good idea to maintain the rule that they should be right.
2009-09-26Extend the BKI infrastructure to allow system catalogs to be givenTom Lane
hand-assigned rowtype OIDs, even when they are not "bootstrapped" catalogs that have handmade type rows in pg_type.h. Give pg_database such an OID. Restore the availability of C macros for the rowtype OIDs of the bootstrapped catalogs. (These macros are now in the individual catalogs' .h files, though, not in pg_type.h.) This commit doesn't do anything especially useful by itself, but it's necessary infrastructure for reverting some ill-considered changes in relcache.c.
2009-09-26Fix RelationCacheInitializePhase2 (Phase3, in HEAD) to cope with theTom Lane
possibility of shared-inval messages causing a relcache flush while it tries to fill in missing data in preloaded relcache entries. There are actually two distinct failure modes here: 1. The flush could delete the next-to-be-processed cache entry, causing the subsequent hash_seq_search calls to go off into the weeds. This is the problem reported by Michael Brown, and I believe it also accounts for bug #5074. The simplest fix is to restart the hashtable scan after we've read any new data from the catalogs. It appears that pre-8.4 branches have not suffered from this failure, because by chance there were no other catalogs sharing the same hash chains with the catalogs that RelationCacheInitializePhase2 had work to do for. However that's obviously pretty fragile, and it seems possible that derivative versions with additional system catalogs might be vulnerable, so I'm back-patching this part of the fix anyway. 2. The flush could delete the *current* cache entry, in which case the pointer to the newly-loaded data would end up being stored into an already-deleted Relation struct. As long as it was still deleted, the only consequence would be some leaked space in CacheMemoryContext. But it seems possible that the Relation struct could already have been recycled, in which case this represents a hard-to-reproduce clobber of cached data structures, with unforeseeable consequences. The fix here is to pin the entry while we work on it. In passing, also change RelationCacheInitializePhase2 to Assert that formrdesc() set up the relation's cached TupleDesc (rd_att) with the correct type OID and hasoids values. This is more appropriate than silently updating the values, because the original tupdesc might already have been copied into the catcache. However this part of the patch is not in HEAD because it fails due to some questionable recent changes in formrdesc :-(. That will be cleaned up in a subsequent patch.

2009-09-22Implement the DO statement to support execution of PL code without havingTom Lane
to create a function for it. Procedural languages now have an additional entry point, namely a function to execute an inline code block. This seemed a better design than trying to hide the transient-ness of the code from the PL. As of this patch, only plpgsql has an inline handler, but probably people will soon write handlers for the other standard PLs. In passing, remove the long-dead LANCOMPILER option of CREATE LANGUAGE. Petr Jelinek
2009-09-22Fix crash if a DROP is attempted on an internally-dependent object.Tom Lane

Prevent creation of 16GB files during fsync testing; only create 16MB files; backpatch to 8.4.X.
2009-09-21Define a new, more extensible syntax for COPY options.Tom Lane
This is intentionally similar to the recently revised syntax for EXPLAIN options, ie, (name value, ...). The old syntax is still supported for backwards compatibility, but we intend that any options added in future will be provided only in the new syntax. Robert Haas, Emmanuel Cecchet
2009-09-20Allow plpgsql IN parameters to be assigned to. Since the parameters are justTom Lane
preinitialized local variables, this does not affect the function's semantics as seen by callers; allowing assignment simply avoids the need to create more local variables in some cases. In any case we were being rather inconsistent since only scalar parameters were getting marked constant. No documentation change, since parameters were never documented as being marked constant anyway. Steve Prentice
2009-09-19Remove a couple hundred lines of ugly and tedious-to-maintain code by notTom Lane

2009-09-18Easier to translate psql helpPeter Eisentraut
Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism. Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse. Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault. You will need the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work. msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.

ignored because it can only be set at server start. In particular, hiding the main reason in the detail message was suboptimal.

2009-09-17Implement "join removal" for cases where the inner side of a left joinTom Lane
is unique and is not referenced above the join. In this case the inner side doesn't affect the query result and can be thrown away entirely. Although perhaps nobody would ever write such a thing by hand, it's a reasonably common case in machine-generated SQL. The current implementation only recognizes the case where the inner side is a simple relation with a unique index matching the query conditions. This is enough for the use-cases that have been shown so far, but we might want to try to handle other cases later. Robert Haas, somewhat rewritten by Tom

2009-09-15Fix two distinct errors in creation of GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE xlog records.Tom Lane
In practice these mistakes were always masked when full_page_writes was on, because XLogInsert would always choose to log the full page, and then ginRedoInsertListPage wouldn't try to do anything. But with full_page_writes off a WAL replay failure was certain. The GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE record type could probably be eliminated entirely in favor of using XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE, but I refrained from doing that now since it would have required a significantly more invasive patch. In passing do a little bit of code cleanup, including making the accounting for free space on GIN list pages more precise. (This wasn't a bug as the errors were always in the conservative direction.) Per report from Simon. Back-patch to 8.4 which contains the identical code.

rule in pgc.l.
2009-09-15Fix possible buffer overrun and/or unportable behavior in pg_md5_encrypt()Tom Lane
if salt_len == 0. This seems to be mostly academic, since nearly all calling code paths guarantee nonempty salt; the only case that doesn't is PQencryptPassword where the caller could mistakenly pass an empty username. So, fix it but don't bother backpatching. Per ljb.
2009-09-13Write psql's ~/.psql_history file using history_truncate_file() andTom Lane
append_history(), if libreadline is new enough to have those functions (they seem to be present at least since 4.2; but libedit may not have them). This gives significantly saner behavior when two or more sessions overlap in their use of the history file; although having two sessions exit at just the same time is still perilous to your history. The behavior of \s remains unchanged, ie, overwrite whatever was there. Per bug #5052 from Marek Wójtowicz.
2009-09-13Fix Unicode support in PL/PythonPeter Eisentraut
Check calls of PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() for NULL return, probably because the encoding name is not known. Add special treatment for SQL_ASCII, which Python definitely does not know. Since using SQL_ASCII produces errors in the regression tests when non-ASCII characters are involved, we have to put back various regression test result variants.
