* Check for pending trigger events on far end when dropping an FK constraint.Tom Lane2016-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When dropping a foreign key constraint with ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT, we refuse the drop if there are any pending trigger events on the named table; this ensures that we won't remove the pg_trigger row that will be consulted by those events. But we should make the same check for the referenced relation, else we might remove a due-to-be-referenced pg_trigger row for that relation too, resulting in "could not find trigger NNN" or "relation NNN has no triggers" errors at commit. Per bug #14431 from Benjie Gillam. Back-patch to all supported branches. Report: <20161124114911.6530.31200@wrigleys.postgresql.org>

* Fix commit_ts for FrozenXid and BootstrapXidAlvaro Herrera2016-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, requesting commit timestamp for transactions FrozenTransactionId and BootstrapTransactionId resulted in an error. But since those values can validly appear in committed tuples' Xmin, this behavior is unhelpful and error prone: each caller would have to special-case those values before requesting timestamp data for an Xid. We already have a perfectly good interface for returning "the Xid you requested is too old for us to have commit TS data for it", so let's use that instead. Backpatch to 9.5, where commit timestamps appeared. Author: Craig Ringer Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAMsr+YFM5Q=+ry3mKvWEqRTxrB0iU3qUSRnS28nz6FJYtBwhJg@mail.gmail.com
* Make sure ALTER TABLE preserves index tablespaces.Tom Lane2016-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When rebuilding an existing index, ALTER TABLE correctly kept the physical file in the same tablespace, but it messed up the pg_class entry if the index had been in the database's default tablespace and "default_tablespace" was set to some non-default tablespace. This led to an inaccessible index. Fix by fixing pg_get_indexdef_string() to always include a tablespace clause, whether or not the index is in the default tablespace. The previous behavior was installed in commit 537e92e41, and I think it just wasn't thought through very clearly; certainly the possible effect of default_tablespace wasn't considered. There's some risk in changing the behavior of this function, but there are no other call sites in the core code. Even if it's being used by some third party extension, it's fairly hard to envision a usage that is okay with a tablespace clause being appended some of the time but can't handle it being appended all the time. Back-patch to all supported versions. Code fix by me, investigation and test cases by Michael Paquier. Discussion: <1479294998857-5930602.post@n3.nabble.com>
* Doc: in back branches, don't call it a row constructor if it isn't really.Tom Lane2016-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Before commit 906bfcad7, we were not actually processing the righthand side of a multiple-column assignment in UPDATE as a row constructor: it was just a parenthesized list of expressions. Call it that rather than risking confusion by people who would expect the documented behaviors of row constructors to apply. Back-patch to 9.5; before that, the text correctly described the construct as a "list of independent expressions". Discussion: <16288.1479610770@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Fix PGLC_localeconv() to handle errors better.Tom Lane2016-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code was intentionally not very careful about leaking strdup'd strings in case of an error. That was forgivable probably, but it also failed to notice strdup() failures, which could lead to subsequent null-pointer-dereference crashes, since many callers unsurprisingly didn't check for null pointers in the struct lconv fields. An even worse problem is that it could throw error while we were setlocale'd to a non-C locale, causing unwanted behavior in subsequent libc calls. Rewrite to ensure that we cannot throw elog(ERROR) until after we've restored the previous locale settings, or at least attempted to. (I'm sorely tempted to make restore failure be a FATAL error, but will refrain for the moment.) Having done that, it's not much more work to ensure that we clean up strdup'd storage on the way out, too. This code is substantially the same in all supported branches, so back-patch all the way.

* Fix test for subplans in force-parallel mode.Tom Lane2016-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We mustn't force parallel mode if the query has any subplans, since ExecSerializePlan doesn't transmit them to workers. Testing top_plan->initPlan is inadequate because (1) there might be initPlans attached to lower plan nodes, and (2) non-initPlan subplans don't work either. There's certainly room for improvement in those restrictions, but for the moment that's what we've got. Amit Kapila, per report from Andreas Seltenreich Discussion: <8737im6pmh.fsf@credativ.de>
* Prevent multicolumn expansion of "foo.*" in an UPDATE source expression.Tom Lane2016-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we use transformTargetList() for UPDATE as well as SELECT tlists, the code accidentally tried to expand a "*" reference into several columns. This is nonsensical, because the UPDATE syntax provides exactly one target column to put the value into. The immediate result was that transformUpdateTargetList() got confused and reported "UPDATE target count mismatch --- internal error". It seems better to treat such a reference as a plain whole-row variable, as it would be in other contexts. (This could produce useful results when the target column is of composite type.) Fix by tweaking transformTargetList() to perform *-expansion only conditionally, depending on its exprKind parameter. Back-patch to 9.3. The problem exists further back, but a fix would be much more invasive before that, because transformTargetList() wasn't told what kind of list it was working on. Doesn't seem worth the trouble given the lack of field reports. (I only noticed it because I was checking the code while trying to improve the documentation about how we handle "foo.*".)

* Code review for GUC serialization/deserialization code.Tom Lane2016-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The serialization code dumped core for a string-valued GUC whose value is NULL, which is a legal state. The infrastructure isn't capable of transmitting that state exactly, but fortunately, transmitting an empty string instead should be close enough (compare, eg, commit e45e990e4). The code potentially underestimated the space required to format a real-valued variable, both because it made an unwarranted assumption that %g output would never be longer than %e output, and because it didn't count right even for %e format. In practice this would pretty much always be masked by overestimates for other variables, but it's still wrong. Also fix boundary-case error in read_gucstate, incorrect handling of the case where guc_sourcefile is non-NULL but zero length (not clear that can happen, but if it did, this code would get totally confused), and confusingly useless check for a NULL result from read_gucstate. Andreas Seltenreich discovered the core dump; other issues noted while reading nearby code. Back-patch to 9.5 where this code was introduced.

* Improve pg_dump/pg_restore --create --if-exists logic.Tom Lane2016-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach it not to complain if the dropStmt attached to an archive entry is actually spelled CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW, since that will happen due to an upcoming bug fix. Also, if it doesn't recognize a dropStmt, have it print a WARNING and then emit the dropStmt unmodified. That seems like a much saner behavior than Assert'ing or dumping core due to a null-pointer dereference, which is what would happen before :-(. Back-patch to 9.4 where this option was introduced.

* Avoid pin scan for replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM in all casesAlvaro Herrera2016-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM during Hot Standby was previously thought to require complex interlocking that matched the requirements on the master. This required an O(N) operation that became a significant problem with large indexes, causing replication delays of seconds or in some cases minutes while the XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM was replayed. This commit skips the “pin scan” that was previously required, by observing in detail when and how it is safe to do so, with full documentation. The pin scan is skipped only in replay; the VACUUM code path on master is not touched here. No tests included. Manual tests using an additional patch to view WAL records and their timing have shown the change in WAL records and their handling has successfully reduced replication delay. This is a back-patch of commits 687f2cd7a015, 3e4b7d87988f, b60284261375 by Simon Riggs, to branches 9.4 and 9.5. No further backpatch is possible because this depends on catalog scans being MVCC. I (Álvaro) additionally updated a slight problem in the README, which explains why this touches the 9.6 and master branches.
* Allow DOS-style line endings in ~/.pgpass files.Tom Lane2016-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Windows, libc will mask \r\n line endings for us, since we read the password file in text mode. But that doesn't happen on Unix. People who share password files across both systems might have \r\n line endings in a file they use on Unix, so as a convenience, ignore trailing \r. Per gripe from Josh Berkus. In passing, put the existing check for empty line somewhere where it's actually useful, ie after stripping the newline not before.

* Account for catalog snapshot in PGXACT->xmin updates.Tom Lane2016-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CatalogSnapshot was not plugged into SnapshotResetXmin()'s accounting for whether MyPgXact->xmin could be cleared or advanced. In normal transactions this was masked by the fact that the transaction snapshot would be older, but during backend startup and certain utility commands it was possible to re-use the CatalogSnapshot after MyPgXact->xmin had been cleared, meaning that recently-deleted rows could be pruned even though this snapshot could still see them, causing unexpected catalog lookup failures. This effect appears to be the explanation for a recent failure on buildfarm member piculet. To fix, add the CatalogSnapshot to the RegisteredSnapshots heap whenever it is valid. In the previous logic, it was possible for the CatalogSnapshot to remain valid across waits for client input, but with this change that would mean it delays advance of global xmin in cases where it did not before. To avoid possibly causing new table-bloat problems with clients that sit idle for long intervals, add code to invalidate the CatalogSnapshot before waiting for client input. (When the backend is busy, it's unlikely that the CatalogSnapshot would be the oldest snap for very long, so we don't worry about forcing early invalidation of it otherwise.) In passing, remove the CatalogSnapshotStale flag in favor of using "CatalogSnapshot != NULL" to represent validity, as we do for the other special snapshots in snapmgr.c. And improve some obsolete comments. No regression test because I don't know a deterministic way to cause this failure. But the stress test shown in the original discussion provokes "cache lookup failed for relation 1255" within a few dozen seconds for me. Back-patch to 9.4 where MVCC catalog scans were introduced. (Note: it's quite easy to produce similar failures with the same test case in branches before 9.4. But MVCC catalog scans were supposed to fix that.) Discussion: <16447.1478818294@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Fix duplication in ALTER MATERIALIZE VIEW synopsisAlvaro Herrera2016-11-14
| | | | | | | | | Commit 3c4cf080879b should have removed SET TABLESPACE from the synopsis of ALTER MATERIALIZE VIEW as a possible "action" when it added a separate line for it in the main command listing, but failed to. Repair. Backpatch to 9.4, like the aforementioned commit.

* Re-allow user_catalog_table option for materialized views.Tom Lane2016-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | The reloptions stuff allows this option to be set on a matview. While it's questionable whether that is useful or was really intended, it does work, and we shouldn't change that in minor releases. Commit e3e66d8a9 disabled the option since I didn't realize that it was possible for it to be set on a matview. Tweak the test to re-allow it. Discussion: <19749.1478711862@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Change qr/foo$/m to qr/foo\n/m, for Perl 5.8.8.Noah Misch2016-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In each case, absence of a trailing newline would itself constitute a PostgreSQL bug. Therefore, this slightly enhances the changed tests. This works around a bug that last appeared in Perl 5.8.8, fixing src/test/modules/test_pg_dump when run against that version. Commit e7293e3271bf618eeb2d4779a15fc516a69fe463 worked around the bug, but the subsequent addition of test_pg_dump introduced affected code. As that commit had shown, slight increases in pattern complexity can suppress the bug. This commit edits qr/foo$/m patterns too complex to encounter the bug today, for style consistency and robustness against unrelated pattern changes. Back-patch to 9.6, where test_pg_dump was introduced. As of this writing, a fresh MSYS installation includes an affected Perl 5.8.8. The Perl 5.8.8 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 carries a patch that renders it unaffected, but the Perl 5.8.5 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4 is affected.

* Rationalize and document pltcl's handling of magic ".tupno" array element.Tom Lane2016-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a very long time, pltcl's spi_exec and spi_execp commands have had a behavior of storing the current row number as an element of output arrays, but this was never documented. Fix that. For an equally long time, pltcl_trigger_handler had a behavior of silently ignoring ".tupno" as an output column name, evidently so that the result of spi_exec could be used directly as a trigger result tuple. Not sure how useful that really is, but in any case it's bad that it would break attempts to use ".tupno" as an actual column name. We can fix it by not checking for ".tupno" until after we check for a column name match. This comports with the effective behavior of spi_exec[p] that ".tupno" is only magic when you don't have an actual column named that. In passing, wordsmith the description of returning modified tuples from a pltcl trigger. Noted while working on Jim Nasby's patch to support composite results from pltcl. The inability to return trigger tuples using ".tupno" as a column name is a bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Need to do SPI_push/SPI_pop around expression evaluation in plpgsql.Tom Lane2016-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We must do this in case the expression evaluation results in calling another plpgsql function (or, really, anything using SPI). I missed the need for this when I converted exec_cast_value() from doing a simple InputFunctionCall() to doing ExecEvalExpr() in commit 1345cc67b. There is a SPI_push_conditional in InputFunctionCall(), so that there was no bug before that. Per bug #14414 from Marcos Castedo. Add a regression test based on his example, which was that a plpgsql function in a domain check constraint didn't work when assigning to a domain-type variable within plpgsql.

* More zic cleanup.Tom Lane2016-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The workaround the IANA guys chose to get rid of the clang warning we'd silenced in commit 23ed2ba81 turns out not to satisfy Coverity. Go back to the previous solution, ie, remove the useless comparison to SIZE_MAX. (In principle, there could be machines out there where it's not useless because ptrdiff_t is wider than size_t. But the whole thing is pretty academic anyway, as we could never approach this limit for any sane estimate of the amount of data that zic will ever be asked to work with.) Also, s/lineno/lineno_t/g, because if we accept their decision to start using "lineno" as a typedef, it is going to have very unpleasant consequences in our next pgindent run. Noted that while fooling with pltcl yesterday.

* Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA tzcode master.Tom Lane2016-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch absorbs some unreleased fixes for symlink manipulation bugs introduced in tzcode 2016g. Ordinarily I'd wait around for a released version, but in this case it seems like we could do with extra testing, in particular checking whether it works in EDB's VMware build environment. This corresponds to commit aec59156abbf8472ba201b6c7ca2592f9c10e077 in https://github.com/eggert/tz. Per a report from Sandeep Thakkar, building in an environment where hard links are not supported in the timezone data installation directory failed, because upstream code refactoring had broken the case of symlinking from an existing symlink. Further experimentation also showed that the symlinks were sometimes made incorrectly, with too many or too few "../"'s in the symlink contents.

* Don't make FK-based selectivity estimates in inheritance situations.Tom Lane2016-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The foreign-key-aware logic for estimation of join sizes (added in commit 100340e2d) blindly tried to apply the concept to rels that are actually parents of inheritance trees. This is just plain wrong so far as the referenced relation is concerned, since the inheritance scan may well produce lots of rows that are not participating in the constraint. It's wrong for the referencing relation too, for the same reason; although on that end we could conceivably detect whether all members of the inheritance tree have equivalent FK constraints pointing to the same referenced rel, and then proceed more or less as we do now. But pending somebody writing code to do that, we must disable this, because it's producing completely silly estimates when there's an FK linking the heads of inheritance trees. Per bug #14404 from Clinton Adams. Back-patch to 9.6 where the new estimation logic came in. Report: <20161028200412.15987.96482@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
* Don't convert Consts into Vars during setrefs.c processing.Tom Lane2016-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While converting expressions in an upper-level plan node so that they reference Vars and expressions provided by the input plan node(s), don't convert plain Const items, even if there happens to be a matching Const in the input. It's silly to do so because a Var is more expensive to execute than a Const. Moreover, converting can fool ExecCheckPlanOutput's check that an insert or update query inserts nulls into dropped columns, leading to "query provides a value for a dropped column" errors during INSERT or UPDATE on a table with a dropped column. We could solve this by making that check more complicated, but I don't see the point; this fix should save a marginal number of cycles, and it also makes for less messy EXPLAIN output, as shown by the ensuing regression test result changes. Per report from Pavel Hanák. I have not incorporated a test case based on that example, as there doesn't seem to be a simple way of checking this in isolation without making a bunch of assumptions about other planner and SQL-function behavior. Back-patch to 9.6. This setrefs.c behavior exists much further back, but there is not currently reason to think that it causes problems before 9.6. Discussion: <83shraampf.fsf@is-it.eu>

* Fix nasty performance problem in tsquery_rewrite().Tom Lane2016-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsquery_rewrite() tries to find matches to subsets of AND/OR conditions; for example, in the query 'a | b | c' the substitution subquery 'a | c' should match and lead to replacement of the first and third items. That's fine, but the matching algorithm apparently takes about O(2^N) for an N-clause query (I say "apparently" because the code is also both unintelligible and uncommented). We could probably do better than that even without any extra assumptions --- but actually, we know that the subclauses are sorted, indeed are depending on that elsewhere in this very same function. So we can just scan the two lists a single time to detect matches, as though we were doing a merge join. Also do a re-flattening call (QTNTernary()) in tsquery_rewrite_query, just to make sure that the tree fits the expectations of the next search cycle. I didn't try to devise a test case for this, but I'm pretty sure that the oversight could have led to failure to match in some cases where a match would be expected. Improve comments, and also stick a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into dofindsubquery, just in case it's still too slow for somebody. Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix bogus tree-flattening logic in QTNTernary().Tom Lane2016-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | QTNTernary() contains logic to flatten, eg, '(a & b) & c' into 'a & b & c', which is all well and good, but it tries to do that to NOT nodes as well, so that '!!a' gets changed to '!a'. Explicitly restrict the conversion to be done only on AND and OR nodes, and add a test case illustrating the bug. In passing, provide some comments for the sadly naked functions in tsquery_util.c, and simplify some baroque logic in QTNFree(), which I think may have been leaking some items it intended to free. Noted while investigating a complaint from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to all supported versions.
* Improve speed of aggregates that use array_append as transition function.Tom Lane2016-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, if an aggregate's transition function returned an expanded array, nodeAgg.c and nodeWindowAgg.c would always copy it and thus force it into the flat representation. This led to ping-ponging between flat and expanded formats, which costs a lot. For an aggregate using array_append as transition function, I measured about a 15X slowdown compared to the pre-9.5 code, when working on simple int[] arrays. Of course, the old code was already O(N^2) in this usage due to copying flat arrays all the time, but it wasn't quite this inefficient. To fix, teach nodeAgg.c and nodeWindowAgg.c to allow expanded transition values without copying, so long as the transition function takes care to return the transition value already properly parented under the aggcontext. That puts a bit of extra responsibility on the transition function, but doing it this way allows us to not need any extra logic in the fast path of advance_transition_function (ie, with a pass-by-value transition value, or with a modified-in-place pass-by-reference value). We already know that that's a hot spot so I'm loath to add any cycles at all there. Also, while only array_append currently knows how to follow this convention, this solution allows other transition functions to opt-in without needing to have a whitelist in the core aggregation code. (The reason we would need a whitelist is that currently, if you pass a R/W expanded-object pointer to an arbitrary function, it's allowed to do anything with it including deleting it; that breaks the core agg code's assumption that it should free discarded values. Returning a value under aggcontext is the transition function's signal that it knows it is an aggregate transition function and will play nice. Possibly the API rules for expanded objects should be refined, but that would not be a back-patchable change.) With this fix, an aggregate using array_append is no longer O(N^2), so it's much faster than pre-9.5 code rather than much slower. It's still a bit slower than the bespoke infrastructure for array_agg, but the differential seems to be only about 10%-20% rather than orders of magnitude. Discussion: <6315.1477677885@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* If the stats collector dies during Hot Standby, restart it.Robert Haas2016-10-27
| | | | | | | | This bug exists as far back as 9.0, when Hot Standby was introduced, so back-patch to all supported branches. Report and patch by Takayuki Tsunakawa, reviewed by Michael Paquier and Kuntal Ghosh.
* Fix possible pg_basebackup failure on standby with "include WAL".Robert Haas2016-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a restartpoint flushed no dirty buffers, it could fail to update the minimum recovery point, leading to a minimum recovery point prior to the starting REDO location. perform_base_backup() would interpret that as meaning that no WAL files at all needed to be included in the backup, failing an internal sanity check. To fix, have restartpoints always update the minimum recovery point to just after the checkpoint record itself, so that the file (or files) containing the checkpoint record will always be included in the backup. Code by Amit Kapila, per a design suggestion by me, with some additional work on the code comment by me. Test case by Michael Paquier. Report by Kyotaro Horiguchi.
* Fix incorrect trigger-property updating in ALTER CONSTRAINT.Tom Lane2016-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to change the deferrability properties of a foreign-key constraint updated all the associated triggers to match; but a moment's examination of the code that creates those triggers in the first place shows that only some of them should track the constraint's deferrability properties. This leads to odd failures in subsequent exercise of the foreign key, as the triggers are fired at the wrong times. Fix that, and add a regression test comparing the trigger properties produced by ALTER CONSTRAINT with those you get by creating the constraint as-intended to begin with. Per report from James Parks. Back-patch to 9.4 where this ALTER functionality was introduced. Report: <CAJ3Xv+jzJ8iNNUcp4RKW8b6Qp1xVAxHwSXVpjBNygjKxcVuE9w@mail.gmail.com>
* Fix not-HAVE_SYMLINK code in zic.c.Tom Lane2016-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | I broke this in commit f3094920a. Apparently it's dead code anyway, at least as far as our buildfarm is concerned (and the upstream IANA code doesn't worry at all about symlink() not being present). But as long as the rest of our code is willing to guard against not having symlink(), this should too. Noted while investigating a tangentially-related complaint from Sandeep Thakkar. Back-patch to keep branches in sync.
* Doc: improve documentation about inheritance.Tom Lane2016-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clarify documentation about inheritance of check constraints, in particular mentioning the NO INHERIT option, which didn't exist when this text was written. Document that in an inherited query, the applicable row security policies are those of the explicitly-named table, not its children. This is the intended behavior (per off-list discussion with Stephen Frost), and there are regression tests for it, but it wasn't documented anywhere user-facing as far as I could find. Do a bit of wordsmithing on the description of inherited access-privilege checks. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
