* Don't balance vacuum cost delay when per-table settings are in effectAlvaro Herrera2014-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When there are cost-delay-related storage options set for a table, trying to make that table participate in the autovacuum cost-limit balancing algorithm produces undesirable results: instead of using the configured values, the global values are always used, as illustrated by Mark Kirkwood in http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/52FACF15.8020507@catalyst.net.nz Since the mechanism is already complicated, just disable it for those cases rather than trying to make it cope. There are undesirable side-effects from this too, namely that the total I/O impact on the system will be higher whenever such tables are vacuumed. However, this is seen as less harmful than slowing down vacuum, because that would cause bloat to accumulate. Anyway, in the new system it is possible to tweak options to get the precise behavior one wants, whereas with the previous system one was simply hosed. This has been broken forever, so backpatch to all supported branches. This might affect systems where cost_limit and cost_delay have been set for individual tables.
* Check for GiST index tuples that don't fit on a page.Heikki Linnakangas2014-10-03
| | | | | | | | | The page splitting code would go into infinite recursion if you try to insert an index tuple that doesn't fit even on an empty page. Per analysis and suggested fix by Andrew Gierth. Fixes bug #11555, reported by Bryan Seitz (analysis happened over IRC). Backpatch to all supported versions.

* Fix some more problems with nested append relations.Tom Lane2014-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of commit a87c72915 (which later got backpatched as far as 9.1), we're explicitly supporting the notion that append relations can be nested; this can occur when UNION ALL constructs are nested, or when a UNION ALL contains a table with inheritance children. Bug #11457 from Nelson Page, as well as an earlier report from Elvis Pranskevichus, showed that there were still nasty bugs associated with such cases: in particular the EquivalenceClass mechanism could try to generate "join" clauses connecting an appendrel child to some grandparent appendrel, which would result in assertion failures or bogus plans. Upon investigation I concluded that all current callers of find_childrel_appendrelinfo() need to be fixed to explicitly consider multiple levels of parent appendrels. The most complex fix was in processing of "broken" EquivalenceClasses, which are ECs for which we have been unable to generate all the derived equality clauses we would like to because of missing cross-type equality operators in the underlying btree operator family. That code path is more or less entirely untested by the regression tests to date, because no standard opfamilies have such holes in them. So I wrote a new regression test script to try to exercise it a bit, which turned out to be quite a worthwhile activity as it exposed existing bugs in all supported branches. The present patch is essentially the same as far back as 9.2, which is where parameterized paths were introduced. In 9.0 and 9.1, we only need to back-patch a small fragment of commit 5b7b5518d, which fixes failure to propagate out the original WHERE clauses when a broken EC contains constant members. (The regression test case results show that these older branches are noticeably stupider than 9.2+ in terms of the quality of the plans generated; but we don't really care about plan quality in such cases, only that the plan not be outright wrong. A more invasive fix in the older branches would not be a good idea anyway from a plan-stability standpoint.)
* Fix identify_locking_dependencies for schema-only dumps.Robert Haas2014-09-26
| | | | | | | | Without this fix, parallel restore of a schema-only dump can deadlock, because when the dump is schema-only, the dependency will still be pointing at the TABLE item rather than the TABLE DATA item. Robert Haas and Tom Lane
* Fix VPATH builds of the replication parser from git for some !gcc compilers.Andres Freund2014-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some compilers don't automatically search the current directory for included files. 9cc2c182fc2 fixed that for builds from tarballs by adding an include to the source directory. But that doesn't work when the scanner is generated in the VPATH directory. Use the same search path as the other parsers in the tree. One compiler that definitely was affected is solaris' sun cc. Backpatch to 9.1 which introduced using an actual parser for replication commands.
* doc: Fix documentation of local_preload_librariesPeter Eisentraut2014-09-14
| | | | | | | The documentation used to suggest setting this parameter with ALTER ROLE SET, but that never worked, so replace it with a working suggestion. Reported-by: Kyotaro Horiguchi <horiguchi.kyotaro@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* Handle border = 3 in expanded modeStephen Frost2014-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In psql, expanded mode was not being displayed correctly when using the normal ascii or unicode linestyles and border set to '3'. Now, per the documentation, border '3' is really only sensible for HTML and LaTeX formats, however, that's no excuse for ascii/unicode to break in that case, and provisions had been made for psql to cleanly handle this case (and it did, in non-expanded mode). This was broken when ascii/unicode was initially added a good five years ago because print_aligned_vertical_line wasn't passed in the border setting being used by print_aligned_vertical but instead was given the whole printTableContent. There really isn't a good reason for vertical_line to have the entire printTableContent structure, so just pass in the printTextFormat and border setting (similar to how this is handled in horizontal_line). Pointed out by Pavel Stehule, fix by me. Back-patch to all currently-supported versions.
* Fix power_var_int() for large integer exponents.Tom Lane2014-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code for raising a NUMERIC value to an integer power wasn't very careful about large powers. It got an outright wrong answer for an exponent of INT_MIN, due to failure to consider overflow of the Abs(exp) operation; which is fixable by using an unsigned rather than signed exponent value after that point. Also, even though the number of iterations of the power-computation loop is pretty limited, it's easy for the repeated squarings to result in ridiculously enormous intermediate values, which can take unreasonable amounts of time/memory to process, or even overflow the internal "weight" field and so produce a wrong answer. We can forestall misbehaviors of that sort by bailing out as soon as the weight value exceeds what will fit in int16, since then the final answer must overflow (if exp > 0) or underflow (if exp < 0) the packed numeric format. Per off-list report from Pavel Stehule. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix typo in solaris spinlock fix.Andres Freund2014-09-09
| | | | | 07968dbfaad03 missed part of the S_UNLOCK define when building for sparcv8+.
* Fix spinlock implementation for some !solaris sparc platforms.Andres Freund2014-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some Sparc CPUs can be run in various coherence models, ranging from RMO (relaxed) over PSO (partial) to TSO (total). Solaris has always run CPUs in TSO mode while in userland, but linux didn't use to and the various *BSDs still don't. Unfortunately the sparc TAS/S_UNLOCK were only correct under TSO. Fix that by adding the necessary memory barrier instructions. On sparcv8+, which should be all relevant CPUs, these are treated as NOPs if the current consistency model doesn't require the barriers. Discussion: 20140630222854.GW26930@awork2.anarazel.de Will be backpatched to all released branches once a few buildfarm cycles haven't shown up problems. As I've no access to sparc, this is blindly written.
* Fix psql \s to work with recent libedit, and add pager support.Tom Lane2014-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | psql's \s (print command history) doesn't work at all with recent libedit versions when printing to the terminal, because libedit tries to do an fchmod() on the target file which will fail if the target is /dev/tty. (We'd already noted this in the context of the target being /dev/null.) Even before that, it didn't work pleasantly, because libedit likes to encode the command history file (to ensure successful reloading), which renders it nigh unreadable, not to mention significantly different-looking depending on exactly which libedit version you have. So let's forget using write_history() for this purpose, and instead print the data ourselves, using logic similar to that used to iterate over the history for newline encoding/decoding purposes. While we're at it, insert the ability to use the pager when \s is printing to the terminal. This has been an acknowledged shortcoming of \s for many years, so while you could argue it's not exactly a back-patchable bug fix it still seems like a good improvement. Anyone who's seriously annoyed at this can use "\s /dev/tty" or local equivalent to get the old behavior. Experimentation with this showed that the history iteration logic was actually rather broken when used with libedit. It turns out that with libedit you have to use previous_history() not next_history() to advance to more recent history entries. The easiest and most robust fix for this seems to be to make a run-time test to verify which function to call. We had not noticed this because libedit doesn't really need the newline encoding logic: its own encoding ensures that command entries containing newlines are reloaded correctly (unlike libreadline). So the effective behavior with recent libedits was that only the oldest history entry got newline-encoded or newline-decoded. However, because of yet other bugs in history_set_pos(), some old versions of libedit allowed the existing loop logic to reach entries besides the oldest, which means there may be libedit ~/.psql_history files out there containing encoded newlines in more than just the oldest entry. To ensure we can reload such files, it seems appropriate to back-patch this fix, even though that will result in some incompatibility with older psql versions (ie, multiline history entries written by a psql with this fix will look corrupted to a psql without it, if its libedit is reasonably up to date).

* Documentation fix: sum(float4) returns float4, not float8.Tom Lane2014-09-07
| | | | | | | | | The old claim is from my commit d06ebdb8d3425185d7e641d15e45908658a0177d of 2000-07-17, but it seems to have been a plain old thinko; sum(float4) has been distinct from sum(float8) since Berkeley days. Noted by KaiGai Kohei. While at it, mention the existence of sum(money), which is also of embarrassingly ancient vintage.
* Fix segmentation fault that an empty prepared statement could cause.Fujii Masao2014-09-05
| | | | | | Back-patch to all supported branches. Per bug #11335 from Haruka Takatsuka
* doc: Various typo/grammar fixesKevin Grittner2014-08-30
| | | | | | | | | Errors detected using Topy (https://github.com/intgr/topy), all changes verified by hand and some manual tweaks added. Marti Raudsepp Individual changes backpatched, where applicable, as far as 9.0.
* Fix citext upgrade script for disallowance of oidvector element assignment.Tom Lane2014-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 45e02e3232ac7cc5ffe36f7986159b5e0b1f6fdc, we intentionally disallowed updates on individual elements of oidvector columns. While that still seems like a sane idea in the abstract, we (I) forgot that citext's "upgrade from unpackaged" script did in fact perform exactly such updates, in order to fix the problem that citext indexes should have a collation but would not in databases dumped or upgraded from pre-9.1 installations. Even if we wanted to add casts to allow such updates, there's no practical way to do so in the back branches, so the only real alternative is to make citext's kluge even klugier. In this patch, I cast the oidvector to text, fix its contents with regexp_replace, and cast back to oidvector. (Ugh!) Since the aforementioned commit went into all active branches, we have to fix this in all branches that contain the now-broken update script. Per report from Eric Malm.
* Fix typos in some error messages thrown by extension scripts when fed to psql.Andres Freund2014-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | Some of the many error messages introduced in 458857cc missed 'FROM unpackaged'. Also e016b724 and 45ffeb7e forgot to quote extension version numbers. Backpatch to 9.1, just like 458857cc which introduced the messages. Do so because the error messages thrown when the wrong command is copy & pasted aren't easy to understand.
* Install libpq DLL with $(INSTALL_SHLIB).Noah Misch2014-08-18
| | | | | | | Programs need execute permission on a DLL file to load it. MSYS "install" ignores the mode argument, and our Cygwin build statically links libpq into programs. That explains the lack of buildfarm trouble. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
* Fix obsolete mention of non-int64 support in CREATE SEQUENCE documentation.Tom Lane2014-08-18
| | | | | | The old text explained what happened if we didn't have working int64 arithmetic. Since that case has been explicitly rejected by configure since 8.4.3, documenting it in the 9.x branches can only produce confusion.
* Update SysV parameter configuration documentation for FreeBSD.Tom Lane2014-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | FreeBSD hasn't made any use of kern.ipc.semmap since 1.1, and newer releases reject attempts to set it altogether; so stop recommending that it be adjusted. Per bug #11161. Back-patch to all supported branches. Before 9.3, also incorporate commit 7a42dff47, which touches the same text and for some reason was not back-patched at the time.
* Fix failure to follow the directions when "init" fork was added.Fujii Masao2014-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | Specifically this commit updates forkname_to_number() so that the HINT message includes "init" fork, and also adds the description of "init" fork into pg_relation_size() document. This is a part of the commit 2d00190495b22e0d0ba351b2cda9c95fb2e3d083 which has fixed the same oversight in master and 9.4. Back-patch to 9.1 where "init" fork was added.
* Fix documentation oversights about pageinspect and initialization fork.Fujii Masao2014-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initialization fork was added in 9.1, but has not been taken into consideration in documents of get_raw_page function in pageinspect and storage layout. This commit fixes those oversights. get_raw_page can read not only a table but also an index, etc. So it should be documented that the function can read any relation. This commit also fixes the document of pageinspect that way. Back-patch to 9.1 where those oversights existed. Vik Fearing, review by MauMau
* Clarify type resolution behavior for domain types.Tom Lane2014-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | The user documentation was vague and not entirely accurate about how we treat domain inputs for ambiguous operators/functions. Clarify that, and add an example and some commentary. Per a recent question from Adam Mackler. It's acted like this ever since we added domains, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Reject duplicate column names in foreign key referenced-columns lists.Tom Lane2014-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Such cases are disallowed by the SQL spec, and even if we wanted to allow them, the semantics seem ambiguous: how should the FK columns be matched up with the columns of a unique index? (The matching could be significant in the presence of opclasses with different notions of equality, so this issue isn't just academic.) However, our code did not previously reject such cases, but instead would either fail to match to any unique index, or generate a bizarre opclass-lookup error because of sloppy thinking in the index-matching code.

* Avoid wholesale autovacuuming when autovacuum is nominally off.Tom Lane2014-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovac workers to vacuum tables that are at risk of XID wraparound. But after we'd done that, an autovac worker would proceed to autovacuum every table in the targeted database, if they meet the usual thresholds for autovacuuming. This is at best pretty unexpected; at worst it delays response to the wraparound threat. Fix it so that if autovacuum is nominally off, we *only* do forced vacuums and not any other work. Per gripe from Andrey Zhidenkov. This has been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Treat 2PC commit/abort the same as regular xacts in recovery.Heikki Linnakangas2014-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were several oversights in recovery code where COMMIT/ABORT PREPARED records were ignored: * pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() (wasn't updated for 2PC commits) * recovery_min_apply_delay (2PC commits were applied immediately) * recovery_target_xid (recovery would not stop if the XID used 2PC) The first of those was reported by Sergiy Zuban in bug #11032, analyzed by Tom Lane and Andres Freund. The bug was always there, but was masked before commit d19bd29f07aef9e508ff047d128a4046cc8bc1e2, because COMMIT PREPARED always created an extra regular transaction that was WAL-logged. Backpatch to all supported versions (older versions didn't have all the features and therefore didn't have all of the above bugs).
* Fix typo in doc.Fujii Masao2014-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | unix_socket_directories was introduced in 9.3, but the document in older versions wrongly have mentioned it. This commit replaces it with the correct older name unix_socket_directory. This is applied to only 9.2 and older supported versions. Guillaume Lelarge
* Fix a performance problem in pg_dump's dump order selection logic.Tom Lane2014-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | findDependencyLoops() was not bright about cases where there are multiple dependency paths between the same two dumpable objects. In most scenarios this did not hurt us too badly; but since the introduction of section boundary pseudo-objects in commit a1ef01fe163b304760088e3e30eb22036910a495, it was possible for this code to take unreasonable amounts of time (tens of seconds on a database with a couple thousand objects), as reported in bug #11033 from Joe Van Dyk. Joe's particular problem scenario involved "pg_dump -a" mode with long chains of foreign key constraints, but I think that similar problems could arise with other situations as long as there were enough objects. To fix, add a flag array that lets us notice when we arrive at the same object again while searching from a given start object. This simple change seems to be enough to eliminate the performance problem. Back-patch to 9.1, like the patch that introduced section boundary objects.
* Rearrange documentation paragraph describing pg_relation_size().Tom Lane2014-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Break the list of available options into an <itemizedlist> instead of inline sentences. This is mostly motivated by wanting to ensure that the cross-references to the FSM and VM docs don't cross page boundaries in PDF format; but it seems to me to read more easily this way anyway. I took the liberty of editorializing a bit further while at it. Per complaint from Magnus about 9.0.18 docs not building in A4 format. Patch all active branches so we don't get blind-sided by this particular issue again in future.
* Report success when Windows kill() emulation signals an exiting process.Noah Misch2014-07-23
| | | | | | | | This is consistent with the POSIX verdict that kill() shall not report ESRCH for a zombie process. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). Test code from commit d7cdf6ee36adeac9233678fb8f2a112e6678a770 depends on it, and log messages about kill() reporting "Invalid argument" will cease to appear for this not-unexpected condition.
* MSVC: Substitute $(top_builddir) in REGRESS_OPTS.Noah Misch2014-07-23
| | | | | Commit d7cdf6ee36adeac9233678fb8f2a112e6678a770 introduced a usage thereof. Back-patch to 9.0, like that commit.
* Check block number against the correct fork in get_raw_page().Tom Lane2014-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_raw_page tried to validate the supplied block number against RelationGetNumberOfBlocks(), which of course is only right when accessing the main fork. In most cases, the main fork is longer than the others, so that the check was too weak (allowing a lower-level error to be reported, but no real harm to be done). However, very small tables could have an FSM larger than their heap, in which case the mistake prevented access to some FSM pages. Per report from Torsten Foertsch. In passing, make the bad-block-number error into an ereport not elog (since it's certainly not an internal error); and fix sloppily maintained comment for RelationGetNumberOfBlocksInFork. This has been wrong since we invented relation forks, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Diagnose incompatible OpenLDAP versions during build and test.Noah Misch2014-07-22
| | | | | | | With OpenLDAP versions 2.4.24 through 2.4.31, inclusive, PostgreSQL backends can crash at exit. Raise a warning during "configure" based on the compile-time OpenLDAP version number, and test the crash scenario in the dblink test suite. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
* Reject out-of-range numeric timezone specifications.Tom Lane2014-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 631dc390f49909a5c8ebd6002cfb2bcee5415a9d, we started to handle simple numeric timezone offsets via the zic library instead of the old CTimeZone/HasCTZSet kluge. However, we overlooked the fact that the zic code will reject UTC offsets exceeding a week (which seems a bit arbitrary, but not because it's too tight ...). This led to possibly setting session_timezone to NULL, which results in crashes in most timezone-related operations as of 9.4, and crashes in a small number of places even before that. So check for NULL return from pg_tzset_offset() and report an appropriate error message. Per bug #11014 from Duncan Gillis. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch. (Unfortunately, as of today that no longer includes 8.4.)

| | | | | | | ~/.pgpass is a sound choice everywhere, and "peer" authentication is safe on every platform it supports. Cease to recommend "trust" authentication, the safety of which is deeply configuration-specific. Back-patch to 9.0, where pg_upgrade was introduced.
* Fix two low-probability memory leaks in regular expression parsing.Tom Lane2014-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If pg_regcomp failed after having invoked markst/cleanst, it would leak any "struct subre" nodes it had created. (We've already detected all regex syntax errors at that point, so the only likely causes of later failure would be query cancel or out-of-memory.) To fix, make sure freesrnode knows the difference between the pre-cleanst and post-cleanst cleanup procedures. Add some documentation of this less-than-obvious point. Also, newlacon did the wrong thing with an out-of-memory failure from realloc(), so that the previously allocated array would be leaked. Both of these are pretty low-probability scenarios, but a bug is a bug, so patch all the way back. Per bug #10976 from Arthur O'Dwyer.
* Fix REASSIGN OWNED for text search objectsAlvaro Herrera2014-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to reassign objects owned by a user that had text search dictionaries or configurations used to fail with: ERROR: unexpected classid 3600 or ERROR: unexpected classid 3602 Fix by adding cases for those object types in a switch in pg_shdepend.c. Both REASSIGN OWNED and text search objects go back all the way to 8.1, so backpatch to all supported branches. In 9.3 the alter-owner code was made generic, so the required change in recent branches is pretty simple; however, for 9.2 and older ones we need some additional reshuffling to enable specifying objects by OID rather than name. Text search templates and parsers are not owned objects, so there's no change required for them. Per bug #9749 reported by Michal Novotný

* Fix bug with whole-row references to append subplans.Tom Lane2014-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecEvalWholeRowVar incorrectly supposed that it could "bless" the source TupleTableSlot just once per query. But if the input is coming from an Append (or, perhaps, other cases?) more than one slot might be returned over the query run. This led to "record type has not been registered" errors when a composite datum was extracted from a non-blessed slot. This bug has been there a long time; I guess it escaped notice because when dealing with subqueries the planner tends to expand whole-row Vars into RowExprs, which don't have the same problem. It is possible to trigger the problem in all active branches, though, as illustrated by the added regression test.
* Don't assume a subquery's output is unique if there's a SRF in its tlist.Tom Lane2014-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | While the x output of "select x from t group by x" can be presumed unique, this does not hold for "select x, generate_series(1,10) from t group by x", because we may expand the set-returning function after the grouping step. (Perhaps that should be re-thought; but considering all the other oddities involved with SRFs in targetlists, it seems unlikely we'll change it.) Put a check in query_is_distinct_for() so it's not fooled by such cases. Back-patch to all supported branches. David Rowley
* Add some errdetail to checkRuleResultList().Tom Lane2014-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function wasn't originally thought to be really user-facing, because converting a table to a view isn't something we expect people to do manually. So not all that much effort was spent on the error messages; in particular, while the code will complain that you got the column types wrong it won't say exactly what they are. But since we repurposed the code to also check compatibility of rule RETURNING lists, it's definitely user-facing. It now seems worthwhile to add errdetail messages showing exactly what the conflict is when there's a mismatch of column names or types. This is prompted by bug #10836 from Matthias Raffelsieper, which might have been forestalled if the error message had reported the wrong column type as being "record". Per Alvaro's advice, back-patch to branches before 9.4, but resist the temptation to rephrase any existing strings there. Adding new strings is not really a translation degradation; anyway having the info presented in English is better than not having it at all.
* Fix inadequately-sized output buffer in contrib/unaccent.Tom Lane2014-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The output buffer size in unaccent_lexize() was calculated as input string length times pg_database_encoding_max_length(), which effectively assumes that replacement strings aren't more than one character. While that was all that we previously documented it to support, the code actually has always allowed replacement strings of arbitrary length; so if you tried to make use of longer strings, you were at risk of buffer overrun. To fix, use an expansible StringInfo buffer instead of trying to determine the maximum space needed a-priori. This would be a security issue if unaccent rules files could be installed by unprivileged users; but fortunately they can't, so in the back branches the problem can be labeled as improper configuration by a superuser. Nonetheless, a memory stomp isn't a nice way of reacting to improper configuration, so let's back-patch the fix.
