* Teach simplify_boolean_equality to simplify the forms foo <> true andTom Lane2009-07-20
| | | | | | | | foo <> false, along with its previous duties of simplifying foo = true and foo = false. (All of these are equivalent to just foo or NOT foo as the case may be.) It's not clear how often this is really useful; but it costs almost nothing to do, and it seems some people think we should be smart about such cases. Per recent bug report.
* Rewrite GEQO's gimme_tree function so that it always finds a legal joinTom Lane2009-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sequence, even when the input "tour" doesn't lead directly to such a sequence. The stack logic that was added in 2004 only supported cases where relations that had to be joined to each other (due to join order restrictions) were adjacent in the tour. However, relying on a random search to figure that out is tremendously inefficient in large join problems, and could even fail completely (leading to "failed to make a valid plan" errors) if random_init_pool ran out of patience. It seems better to make the tour-to-plan transformation a little bit fuzzier so that every tour can form a legal plan, even though this means that apparently different tours will sometimes yield the same plan. In the same vein, get rid of the logic that knew that tours (a,b,c,d,...) are the same as tours (b,a,c,d,...), and therefore insisted the latter are invalid. The chance of generating two tours that differ only in this way isn't that high, and throwing out 50% of possible tours to avoid such duplication seems more likely to waste valuable genetic- refinement generations than to do anything useful. This leaves us with no cases in which geqo_eval will deem a tour invalid, so get rid of assorted kluges that tried to deal with such cases, in particular the undocumented assumption that DBL_MAX is an impossible plan cost. This is all per testing of Robert Haas' lets-remove-the-collapse-limits patch. That idea has crashed and burned, at least for now, but we still got something useful out of it. It's possible we should back-patch this change, since the "failed to make a valid plan" error can happen in existing releases; but I'd rather not until it has gotten more testing.
* Fix a thinko in join_is_legal: when we decide we can implement a semijoinTom Lane2009-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | by unique-ifying the RHS and then inner-joining to some other relation, that is not grounds for violating the RHS of some other outer join. Noticed while regression-testing new GEQO code, which will blindly follow any path that join_is_legal says is legal, and then complain later if that leads to a dead end. I'm not certain that this can result in any visible failure in 8.4: the mistake may always be masked by the fact that subsequent attempts to join the rest of the RHS of the other join will fail. But I'm not certain it can't, either, and it's definitely not operating as intended. So back-patch. The added regression test depends on the new no-failures-allowed logic that I'm about to commit in GEQO, so no point back-patching that.
* Fix error cleanup failure caused by 8.4 changes in plpgsql to try to avoidTom Lane2009-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | memory leakage in error recovery. We were calling FreeExprContext, and therefore invoking ExprContextCallback callbacks, in both normal and error exits from subtransactions. However this isn't very safe, as shown in recent trouble report from Frank van Vugt, in which releasing a tupledesc refcount failed. It's also unnecessary, since the resources that callbacks might wish to release should be cleaned up by other error recovery mechanisms (ie the resource owners). We only really want FreeExprContext to release memory attached to the exprcontext in the error-exit case. So, add a bool parameter to FreeExprContext to tell it not to call the callbacks. A more general solution would be to pass the isCommit bool parameter on to the callbacks, so they could do only safe things during error exit. But that would make the patch significantly more invasive and possibly break third-party code that registers ExprContextCallback callbacks. We might want to do that later in HEAD, but for now I'll just do what seems reasonable to back-patch.
* Repair bug #4926 "too few pathkeys for mergeclauses". This example showsTom Lane2009-07-17
| | | | | | | | | that the sanity checking I added to create_mergejoin_plan() in 8.3 was a few bricks shy of a load: the mergeclauses could reference pathkeys in a noncanonical order such as x,y,x, not only cases like x,x,y which is all that the code had allowed for. The odd cases only turn up when using redundant clauses in an outer join condition, which is why no one had noticed before.
* Make GEQO's planning deterministic by having it start from a predictableTom Lane2009-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | random number seed each time. This is how it used to work years ago, but we got rid of the seed reset because it was resetting the main random() sequence and thus having undesirable effects on the rest of the system. To fix, establish a private random number state for each execution of geqo(), and initialize the state using the new GUC variable geqo_seed. People who want to experiment with different random searches can do so by changing geqo_seed, but you'll always get the same plan for the same value of geqo_seed (if holding all other planner inputs constant, of course). The new state is kept in PlannerInfo by adding a "void *" field reserved for use by join_search hooks. Most of the rather bulky code changes in this commit are just arranging to pass PlannerInfo around to all the GEQO functions (many of which formerly didn't receive it).

* Add erand48() to the set of functions supported by our src/port/ library,Tom Lane2009-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | and extend configure to test for it properly instead of hard-wiring an assumption that everybody but Windows has the rand48 functions. (We do cheat to the extent of assuming that probing for erand48 will do for the entire rand48 family.) erand48() is unused as of this commit, but a followon patch will cause GEQO to depend on it.

* Make backend header files C++ safePeter Eisentraut2009-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | This alters various incidental uses of C++ key words to use other similar identifiers, so that a C++ compiler won't choke outright. You still (probably) need extern "C" { }; around the inclusion of backend headers. based on a patch by Kurt Harriman <harriman@acm.org> Also add a script cpluspluscheck to check for C++ compatibility in the future. As of right now, this passes without error for me.
* Rearrangement of the HTML docs build rulesPeter Eisentraut2009-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Set up proper makefile dependencies in the documentation build rules, especially around the HTML/index build. The problem we've had with all previous solutions is that we have used the same file name, such as HTML.index or bookindex.sgml, to mean different things at different stages of the build, and make can't distinguish that. The solution here is that the first jade run produces HTML.index, but does not require bookindex.sgml at all, and produces no other html output (the latter an idea from Alvaro). The second jade run includes bookindex.sgml, but does not recreate HTML.index. That way, when you change an sgml file, jade is run twice and at the end all dependencies are satisfied. Omitting the html output in the first stage also makes the full build a lot faster. When you run one of the print format targets, only the first jade run is run, then the print target-specific commands. If an HTML build has completed previously, the first jade run is skipped because the dependencies have already been satisfied. The draft and check targets for quick builds and syntax verification are still there.
* Remove duplicate definition of TYPECAST token.Tom Lane2009-07-14
| | | | (Apparently, some but not all versions of Bison will warn about this.)
* Tweak the core scanner so that it can be used by plpgsql too.Tom Lane2009-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes: Pass in the keyword lookup array instead of having it be hardwired. (This incidentally allows elimination of some duplicate coding in ecpg.) Re-order the token declarations in gram.y so that non-keyword tokens have numbers that won't change when keywords are added or removed. Add ".." and ":=" to the set of tokens recognized by scan.l. (Since these combinations are nowhere legal in core SQL, this does not change anything except the precise wording of the error you get when you write this.)
* Do a conditional SPI_push/SPI_pop when replanning a query inTom Lane2009-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | RevalidateCachedPlan. This is to avoid a "SPI_ERROR_CONNECT" failure when the planner calls a SPI-using function and we are already inside one. The alternative fix is to expect callers of RevalidateCachedPlan to do this, which seems likely to result in additional hard-to-detect bugs of omission. Per reports from Frank van Vugt and Marek Lewczuk. Back-patch to 8.3. It's much harder to trigger the bug in 8.3, due to a smaller set of cases in which plans can be invalidated, but it could happen. (I think perhaps only a SI reset event could make 8.3 fail here, but that's certainly within the realm of possibility.)

* Although the flex documentation avers that yyalloc and yyrealloc takeTom Lane2009-07-13
| | | | | | | size_t arguments, the emitted scanner actually prototypes them with type yy_size_t, which is sometimes not the same thing depending on flex version and platform. Easiest fix seems to be to use yy_size_t. Per buildfarm results.
* Convert the core lexer and parser into fully reentrant code, by making useTom Lane2009-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | of features added to flex and bison since this code was originally written. This change doesn't in itself offer any new capability, but it's needed infrastructure for planned improvements in plpgsql. Another feature now available in flex is the ability to make it use palloc instead of malloc, so do that to avoid possible memory leaks. (We should at some point change the other lexers likewise, but this commit doesn't touch them.)
* Advance the minimum required version of "flex" from 2.5.4 to 2.5.31, andTom Lane2009-07-13
| | | | | | | update documentation accordingly. This is required in order to have support for a reentrant scanner. I'm committing this bit separately in order to have an easy reference if we later decide to make the minimum something different (like 2.5.33).

* Fix up PGDLLIMPORT marking for standard_conforming_strings. Moving itTom Lane2009-07-13

* Move some declarations in the raw-parser header files to create a clearerTom Lane2009-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | distinction between the external API (parser.h) and declarations that only need to be visible within the raw parser code (gramparse.h, which now is only included by parser.c, gram.y, scan.l, and keywords.c). This is in preparation for the upcoming change to a reentrant lexer, which will require referencing YYSTYPE in the declarations of base_yylex and filtered_base_yylex, hence gram.h will have to be included by gramparse.h. We don't want any more files than absolutely necessary to depend on gram.h, so some cleanup is called for.

* Fix set_rel_width() to do something reasonable with non-Var items in aTom Lane2009-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | RelOptInfo targetlist. It used to be that the only possibility other than a Var was a RowExpr representing a whole-row child Var, but as of 8.4's expanded ability to flatten appendrel members, we can get arbitrary expressions in there. Use the expression's type info and get_typavgwidth() to produce an at-least-marginally-sane result. Note that get_typavgwidth()'s fallback estimate (32 bytes) is the same as what was here before, so there will be no behavioral change for RowExprs. Noted while looking at recent gripe about constant quals pushed down to FunctionScan appendrel members ... not only were we failing to recognize the constant qual, we were getting the width estimate wrong :-(
* Fix xslt_process() to ensure that it inserts a NULL terminator after theTom Lane2009-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | last pair of parameter name/value strings, even when there are MAXPARAMS of them. Aboriginal bug in contrib/xml2, noted while studying bug #4912 (though I'm not sure whether there's something else involved in that report). This might be thought a security issue, since it's a potential backend crash; but considering that untrustworthy users shouldn't be allowed to get their hands on xslt_process() anyway, it's probably not worth getting excited about.
* Remove no-longer-necessary transmission of postmaster's LC_COLLATE andTom Lane2009-07-08
| | | | | | LC_CTYPE settings to children via BackendParameters. Per discussion, the postmaster is now just using system defaults anyway, so we might as well save a few cycles during backend startup.
* Need to use pg_perm_setlocale when setting LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE at startup.Heikki Linnakangas2009-07-08
| | | | | | | | Otherwise, the LC_CTYPE/COLLATE setting gets reverted when using plperl, which leads to incorrect query results and index corruption. This was accidentally broken in the per-database locale patch in 8.4. Pointed out by Andrew Gierth.
* Add missing HOUR TO SECOND option to list of possible INTERVAL field sets,Tom Lane2009-07-08
| | | | | | as noted by Sebastien Flaesch. Also update the claim that we simply throw away fields outside this set --- that got changed later to only discard less-significant fields.

* psql backward compatibility fixPeter Eisentraut2009-07-07
| | | | | | | For servers older than 8.3, sort display of child tables by relname instead of oid::regclass::text, because the cast from regclass to text did not work back then. The older display may be slightly worse when different schemas are involved, but that should be rare enough.

* More sensible character_octet_lengthPeter Eisentraut2009-07-07
| | | | | | | For character types with typmod, character_octet_length columns in the information schema now show the maximum character length times the maximum length of a character in the server encoding, instead of some huge value as before.
* Code review for patch to show definition of index columns in \d on index.Tom Lane2009-07-07
| | | | | | Safely schema-qualify the pg_get_indexdef call, make the query a bit prettier in -E mode, remove useless join to pg_index, make it more obvious that the header[] array is not overrun.
* Use floor() not rint() when reducing precision of fractional seconds inTom Lane2009-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | timestamp_trunc, timestamptz_trunc, and interval_trunc(). This change only affects the float-datetime case; the integer-datetime case already behaved like truncation instead of rounding. Per gripe from Mario Splivalo. This is a pre-existing issue but I'm choosing not to backpatch, because it's such a corner case and there have not been prior complaints. The issue is largely moot anyway given the trend towards integer datetimes.
* Fix ancient bug in handling of to_char modifier 'TH', when used with HH.Heikki Linnakangas2009-07-06
| | | | | In what seems like an oversight, we used to treat 'TH' the same as lowercase 'th', but only with HH/HH12.
* Fix set_append_rel_pathlist() to deal intelligently with cases whereTom Lane2009-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | substituting a child rel's output expressions into the appendrel's restriction clauses yields a pseudoconstant restriction. We might be able to skip scanning that child rel entirely (if we get constant FALSE), or generate a one-time filter. 8.3 more or less accidentally generated plans that weren't completely stupid in these cases, but that was only because an extra recursive level of subquery_planner() always occurred and allowed const-simplification to happen. 8.4's ability to pull up appendrel members with non-Var outputs exposes the fact that we need to work harder here. Per gripe from Sergey Burladyan.
* Show definition of index columns in \d on indexPeter Eisentraut2009-07-06
| | | | | | | | | This adds a column called "Definition" to the output of psql \d on an index, which shows the full expression behind the index column. For indexes on plain columns, this is redundant, but for expression indexes, this reveals the real expression. Author: Khee Chin <kheechin@gmail.com>
* Per SQL spec (in particular, the grammar in SQL:2008 7.13) we should allowTom Lane2009-07-06
| | | | | | | parentheses around the <query expression body> that follows a WITH clause, eg with cte(foo) as ( values(0) ) ((select foo from cte)); This seems to be just an oversight/thinko in gram.y. Noted while experimenting with bug #4902.
* Fix handling of changed-Param signaling for CteScan plan nodes. We were usingTom Lane2009-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | the "cteParam" as a proxy for the possibility that the underlying CTE plan depends on outer-level variables or Params, but that doesn't work very well because it sometimes causes calling subqueries to be treated as SubPlans when they could be InitPlans. This is inefficient and also causes the outright failure exhibited in bug #4902. Instead, leave the cteParam out of it and copy the underlying CTE plan's extParams directly. Per bug #4902 from Marko Tiikkaja.
