* First-draft release notes for 9.3.5.Tom Lane2014-07-20
| | | | | | | | | As usual, the release notes for older branches will be made by cutting these down, but put them up for community review first. Note: a few of these items actually don't apply to 9.3, but only to older branches. I'll sort that out when copying the text into the older release-X.Y.sgml files.
* Fix xreflabel for hot_standby_feedback.Tom Lane2014-07-19
| | | | Rather remarkable that this has been wrong since 9.1 and nobody noticed.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2014e.Tom Lane2014-07-19
| | | | | DST law changes in Crimea, Egypt, Morocco. New zone Antarctica/Troll for Norwegian base in Queen Maud Land.
* Partial fix for dropped columns in functions returning composite.Tom Lane2014-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a view has a function-returning-composite in FROM, and there are some dropped columns in the underlying composite type, ruleutils.c printed junk in the column alias list for the reconstructed FROM entry. Before 9.3, this was prevented by doing get_rte_attribute_is_dropped tests while printing the column alias list; but that solution is not currently available to us for reasons I'll explain below. Instead, check for empty-string entries in the alias list, which can only exist if that column position had been dropped at the time the view was made. (The parser fills in empty strings to preserve the invariant that the aliases correspond to physical column positions.) While this is sufficient to handle the case of columns dropped before the view was made, we have still got issues with columns dropped after the view was made. In particular, the view could contain Vars that explicitly reference such columns! The dependency machinery really ought to refuse the column drop attempt in such cases, as it would do when trying to drop a table column that's explicitly referenced in views. However, we currently neglect to store dependencies on columns of composite types, and fixing that is likely to be too big to be back-patchable (not to mention that existing views in existing databases would not have the needed pg_depend entries anyway). So I'll leave that for a separate patch. Pre-9.3, ruleutils would print such Vars normally (with their original column names) even though it suppressed their entries in the RTE's column alias list. This is certainly bogus, since the printed view definition would fail to reload, but at least it didn't crash. However, as of 9.3 the printed column alias list is tightly tied to the names printed for Vars; so we can't treat columns as dropped for one purpose and not dropped for the other. This is why we can't just put back the get_rte_attribute_is_dropped test: it results in an assertion failure if the view in fact contains any Vars referencing the dropped column. Once we've got dependencies preventing such cases, we'll probably want to do it that way instead of relying on the empty-string test used here. This fix turned up a very ancient bug in outfuncs/readfuncs, namely that T_String nodes containing empty strings were not dumped/reloaded correctly: the node was printed as "<>" which is read as a string value of <>. Since (per SQL) we disallow empty-string identifiers, such nodes don't occur normally, which is why we'd not noticed. (Such nodes aren't used for literal constants, just identifiers.) Per report from Marc Schablewski. Back-patch to 9.3 which is where the rule printing behavior changed. The dangling-variable case is broken all the way back, but that's not what his complaint is about.
* Limit pg_upgrade authentication advice to always-secure techniques.Noah Misch2014-07-18
| | | | | | | ~/.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.
* Revert broken change to pgevent.cMagnus Hagander2014-07-17
| | | | | pgevent doesn't include the global PostgreSQL headers, for a reason, and therefor cannot rely on defines in it...
* Add option to pg_ctl to choose event source for loggingMagnus Hagander2014-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | pg_ctl will log to the Windows event log when it is running as a service, which is the primary way of running PostgreSQL on Windows. This option makes it possible to specify which event source to use for this, in order to separate different instances. The server logging itself is still controlled by the regular logging parameters, including a separate setting for the event source. The parameter to pg_ctl only controlls the logging from pg_ctl itself. MauMau, review in many iterations by Amit Kapila and me.

* Fix bugs in SP-GiST search with range type's -|- (adjacent) operator.Heikki Linnakangas2014-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The consistent function contained several bugs: * The "if (which2) { ... }" block was broken. It compared the argument's lower bound against centroid's upper bound, while it was supposed to compare the argument's upper bound against the centroid's lower bound (the comment was correct, code was wrong). Also, it cleared bits in the "which1" variable, while it was supposed to clear bits in "which2". * If the argument's upper bound was equal to the centroid's lower bound, we descended to both halves (= all quadrants). That's unnecessary, searching the right quadrants is sufficient. This didn't lead to incorrect query results, but was clearly wrong, and slowed down queries unnecessarily. * In the case that argument's lower bound is adjacent to the centroid's upper bound, we also don't need to visit all quadrants. Per similar reasoning as previous point. * The code where we compare the previous centroid with the current centroid should match the code where we compare the current centroid with the argument. The point of that code is to redo the calculation done in the previous level, to see if we were supposed to traverse left or right (or up or down), and if we actually did. If we moved in the different direction, then we know there are no matches for bound. Refactor the code and adds comments to make it more readable and easier to reason about. Backpatch to 9.3 where SP-GiST support for range types was introduced.
* Allow join removal in some cases involving a left join to a subquery.Tom Lane2014-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can remove a left join to a relation if the relation's output is provably distinct for the columns involved in the join clause (considering only equijoin clauses) and the relation supplies no variables needed above the join. Previously, the join removal logic could only prove distinctness by reference to unique indexes of a table. This patch extends the logic to consider subquery relations, wherein distinctness might be proven by reference to GROUP BY, DISTINCT, etc. We actually already had some code to check that a subquery's output was provably distinct, but it was hidden inside pathnode.c; which was a pretty bad place for it really, since that file is mostly boilerplate Path construction and comparison. Move that code to analyzejoins.c, which is arguably a more appropriate location, and is certainly the site of the new usage for it. David Rowley, reviewed by Simon Riggs
* Move check for SSL_get_current_compression to run on mingwMagnus Hagander2014-07-15
| | | | | Mingw uses a different header file than msvc, so we don't get the hardcoded value, so we need the configure test to run.

* json_build_object and json_build_array are stable, not immutable.Andrew Dunstan2014-07-15
| | | | | | | | | These functions indirectly invoke output functions, so they can't be immutable. Backpatch to 9.4 where they were introduced. Catalog version bumped.

* 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
* Detect presence of SSL_get_current_compressionMagnus Hagander2014-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Apparently we still build against OpenSSL so old that it doesn't have this function, so add an autoconf check for it to make the buildfarm happy. If the function doesn't exist, always return that compression is disabled, since presumably the actual compression functionality is always missing. For now, hardcode the function as present on MSVC, since we should hopefully be well beyond those old versions on that platform.
* Add missing source files to nls.mkPeter Eisentraut2014-07-15
| | | | | | These are files under common/ that have been moved around. Updating these manually is not satisfactory, but it's the only solution at the moment.
* Include SSL compression status in psql banner and connection loggingMagnus Hagander2014-07-15
| | | | | | Both the psql banner and the connection logging already included SSL status, cipher and bitlength, this adds the information about compression being on or off.

* Remove dependency on wsock32.lib in favor of ws2_32Magnus Hagander2014-07-15
| | | | | | | | ws2_32 is the new version of the library that should be used, as it contains the require functionality from wsock32 as well as some more (which is why some binaries were already using ws2_32). Michael Paquier, reviewed by MauMau

* Add file version information to most installed Windows binaries.Noah Misch2014-07-14

* MSVC: Process Makefile line continuations more like "make" does.Noah Misch2014-07-14
| | | | | | | | Unlike "make" itself, the MSVC build process recognized a continuation even with whitespace after the backslash. (Due to a typo, some code sites accepted the letter "s" instead of whitespace). Also, it would consume any number of newlines following a single backslash. This is mere cleanup; those behaviors were unlikely to cause bugs.
* MSVC: Recognize PGFILEDESC in contrib and conversion_procs modules.Noah Misch2014-07-14
| | | | | | | Achieve this by consistently using four-argument Solution::AddProject() calls. Remove ad hoc Makefile parsing made redundant by doing that. Michael Paquier and Noah Misch, reviewed by MauMau.

* Prevent bitmap heap scans from showing unnecessary block info in EXPLAIN ↵Fujii Masao2014-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ANALYZE. EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows the information of the numbers of exact/lossy blocks which bitmap heap scan processes. But, previously, when those numbers were both zero, it displayed only the prefix "Heap Blocks:" in TEXT output format. This is strange and would confuse the users. So this commit suppresses such unnecessary information. Backpatch to 9.4 where EXPLAIN ANALYZE was changed so that such information was displayed. Etsuro Fujita

* Minimal psql tab completion support for SET search_path.Andres Freund2014-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Complete SET search_path = ... to non-temporary and non-toast schemas. Since there pretty much is no use case to add those to the search path and there can be many it's helpful to exclude them. It'd be nicer to complete multiple search path elements, but that's not easy. Jeff Janes
* Fix decoding of consecutive MULTI_INSERTs emitted by one heap_multi_insert().Andres Freund2014-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1b86c81d2d fixed the decoding of toasted columns for the rows contained in one xl_heap_multi_insert record. But that's not actually enough, because heap_multi_insert() will actually first toast all passed in rows and then emit several *_multi_insert records; one for each page it fills with tuples. Add a XLOG_HEAP_LAST_MULTI_INSERT flag which is set in xl_heap_multi_insert->flag denoting that this multi_insert record is the last emitted by one heap_multi_insert() call. Then use that flag in decode.c to only set clear_toast_afterwards in the right situation. Expand the number of rows inserted via COPY in the corresponding regression test to make sure that more than one heap page is filled with tuples by one heap_multi_insert() call. Backpatch to 9.4 like the previous commit.
* Add autocompletion of locale keywords for CREATE DATABASEMagnus Hagander2014-07-12
| | | | | Adds support for autocomplete of LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE to the CREATE DATABASE command in psql.
* 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.

* Implement IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA.Tom Lane2014-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This command provides an automated way to create foreign table definitions that match remote tables, thereby reducing tedium and chances for error. In this patch, we provide the necessary core-server infrastructure and implement the feature fully in the postgres_fdw foreign-data wrapper. Other wrappers will throw a "feature not supported" error until/unless they are updated. Ronan Dunklau and Michael Paquier, additional work by me

* Add new ECHO mode 'errors' that displays only failed commands in psql.Fujii Masao2014-07-10
| | | | | | | | | When the psql variable ECHO is set to 'erros', only failed SQL commands are printed to standard error output. Also this patch adds -b option into psql. This is equivalent to setting the variable ECHO to 'errors'. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Fabrízio de Royes Mello, Samrat Revagade, Kumar Rajeev Rastogi, Abhijit Menon-Sen, and me.

* 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
