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

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.

* Fix erroneous handling of shared dependencies (ie dependencies on roles)Tom Lane2009-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Ensure that a cursor has an immutable snapshot throughout its lifespan.Alvaro Herrera2009-10-02
| | | | | | | | | 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.

* Assorted improvements in contrib/hstore.Tom Lane2009-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | Remove the 64K limit on the lengths of keys and values within an hstore. (This changes the on-disk format, but the old format can still be read.) Add support for btree/hash opclasses for hstore --- this is not so much for actual indexing purposes as to allow use of GROUP BY, DISTINCT, etc. Add various other new functions and operators.

* Fix equivclass.c's not-quite-right strategy for handling X=X clauses.Tom Lane2009-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Replace the array-style TupleTable data structure with a simple List ofTom Lane2009-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Simplify the bootstrap (BKI) code by getting rid of a useless table of allTom Lane2009-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Hmm, seems a lot of the buildfarm is running versions of awk thatTom Lane2009-09-26

* Revert my ill-considered change that made formrdesc not insert the correctTom Lane2009-09-26
| | | | | | | | 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.
* Extend the BKI infrastructure to allow system catalogs to be givenTom Lane2009-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Fix RelationCacheInitializePhase2 (Phase3, in HEAD) to cope with theTom Lane2009-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Implement the DO statement to support execution of PL code without havingTom Lane2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Define a new, more extensible syntax for COPY options.Tom Lane2009-09-21
| | | | | | | | | 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
* Allow plpgsql IN parameters to be assigned to. Since the parameters are justTom Lane2009-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
