* Remove add_missing_from GUC and associated parser support for "implicit RTEs".Tom Lane2009-10-21
| | | | | | Per recent discussion, add_missing_from has been deprecated for long enough to consider removing, and it's getting in the way of planned parser refactoring. The system now always behaves as though add_missing_from were OFF.

* Rewrite pam_passwd_conv_proc to be more robust: avoid assuming that theTom Lane2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pam_message array contains exactly one PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF message. Instead, deal with however many messages there are, and don't throw error for PAM_ERROR_MSG and PAM_TEXT_INFO messages. This logic is borrowed from openssh 5.2p1, which hopefully has seen more real-world PAM usage than we have. Per bug #5121 from Ryan Douglas, which turned out to be caused by the conv_proc being called with zero messages. Apparently that is normal behavior given the combination of Linux pam_krb5 with MS Active Directory as the domain controller. Patch all the way back, since this code has been essentially untouched since 7.4. (Surprising we've not heard complaints before.)

* Support SQL-compliant triggers on columns, ie fire only if certain columnsTom Lane2009-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | are named in the UPDATE's SET list. Note: the schema of pg_trigger has not actually changed; we've just started to use a column that was there all along. catversion bumped anyway so that this commit is included in the history of potentially interesting changes to system catalog contents. Itagaki Takahiro
* Rename the new MAX_AUTH_TOKEN_LENGTH #define to PG_MAX_AUTH_MAX_TOKEN_LENGTH,Heikki Linnakangas2009-10-14
| | | | | to make it more obvious that it's a PostgreSQL internal limit, not something that comes from system header files.
* In the configure check for the Python distutils module, use a less obscurePeter Eisentraut2009-10-14
| | | | | | | shell construct to hide away the stderr output. Python 3.1 actually core dumps on the current invocation (http://bugs.python.org/issue7111), but the new version also has the more general advantage of saving the error message in config.log for analysis.

* Raise the maximum authentication token (Kerberos ticket) size in GSSAPIHeikki Linnakangas2009-10-14
| | | | | | | | and SSPI athentication methods. While the old 2000 byte limit was more than enough for Unix Kerberos implementations, tickets issued by Windows Domain Controllers can be much larger. Ian Turner
* Replace unmatched " by &quot; to avoid throwing off syntax highlighters.Peter Eisentraut2009-10-13

* Add "\pset linestyle ascii/unicode" option to psql, allowing our traditionalTom Lane2009-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | ASCII-art style of table output to be upgraded to use Unicode box drawing characters if desired. By default, psql will use the Unicode characters whenever client_encoding is UTF8. The patch forces linestyle=ascii in pg_regress usage, ensuring we don't break the regression tests in Unicode locales. Roger Leigh
* Fix ts_stat's failure on empty tsvector.Tom Lane2009-10-13
| | | | | | Also insert a couple of Asserts that check for stack overflow. Bogus coding appears to be new in 8.4 --- older releases had a much simpler algorithm here. Per bug #5111.

* Use plurals (TABLES, FUNCTIONS, etc) in ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES. We haveTom Lane2009-10-12
| | | | | the keywords as a consequence of the GRANT ALL patch, so we might as well use them and make the ALTER commands read more naturally.

* Move the handling of SELECT FOR UPDATE locking and rechecking out ofTom Lane2009-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | execMain.c and into a new plan node type LockRows. Like the recent change to put table updating into a ModifyTable plan node, this increases planning flexibility by allowing the operations to occur below the top level of the plan tree. It's necessary in any case to restore the previous behavior of having FOR UPDATE locking occur before ModifyTable does. This partially refactors EvalPlanQual to allow multiple rows-under-test to be inserted into the EPQ machinery before starting an EPQ test query. That isn't sufficient to fix EPQ's general bogosity in the face of plans that return multiple rows per test row, though. Since this patch is mostly about getting some plan node infrastructure in place and not about fixing ten-year-old bugs, I will leave EPQ improvements for another day. Another behavioral change that we could now think about is doing FOR UPDATE before LIMIT, but that too seems like it should be treated as a followon patch.
* Improve similar_escape() in two different ways:Tom Lane2009-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Stop escaping ? and {. As of SQL:2008, SIMILAR TO is defined to have POSIX-compatible interpretation of ? as well as {m,n} and related constructs, so we should allow these things through to our regex engine. * Escape ^ and $. It appears that our regex engine will treat ^^ at the beginning of the string the same as ^, and similarly for $$ at the end of the string, which meant that SIMILAR TO was effectively ignoring ^ at the start of the pattern and $ at the end. Since these are not supposed to be metacharacters, this is a bug. The second part of this is arguably a back-patchable bug fix, but I'm hesitant to do that because it might break applications that are expecting something like "col SIMILAR TO '^foo$'" to work like a POSIX pattern. Seems safer to only change it at a major version boundary. Per discussion of an example from Doug Gorley.
* Split the processing of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations out of execMain.c.Tom Lane2009-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | They are now handled by a new plan node type called ModifyTable, which is placed at the top of the plan tree. In itself this change doesn't do much, except perhaps make the handling of RETURNING lists and inherited UPDATEs a tad less klugy. But it is necessary preparation for the intended extension of allowing RETURNING queries inside WITH. Marko Tiikkaja
* Use pg_get_triggerdef in pg_dumpPeter Eisentraut2009-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a variant of pg_get_triggerdef with a second argument "pretty" that causes the output to be formatted in the way pg_dump used to do. Use this variant in pg_dump with server versions >= 8.5. This insulates pg_dump from most future trigger feature additions, such as the upcoming column triggers patch. Author: Itagaki Takahiro <itagaki.takahiro@oss.ntt.co.jp>
* Remove very ancient tuple-counting infrastructure (IncrRetrieved() andTom Lane2009-10-08
| | | | | | | | | friends). This code has all been ifdef'd out for many years, and doesn't seem to have any prospect of becoming any more useful in the future. EXPLAIN ANALYZE is what people use in practice, and I think if we did want process-wide counters we'd be more likely to put in dtrace events for that than try to resurrect this code. Get rid of it so as to have one less detail to worry about while refactoring execMain.c.
* Add the new psql command \drds to the psql docs, help and tab completion.Alvaro Herrera2009-10-08
| | | | | I also thank Bernd Helmle for the documentation help on the previous settings patch, which I forgot on the commit message.

* Make it possibly to specify GUC params per user and per database.Alvaro Herrera2009-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new catalog pg_db_role_setting where they are now stored, and better encapsulate the code that deals with settings into its realm. The old datconfig and rolconfig columns are removed. psql has gained a \drds command to display the settings. Backwards compatibility warning: while the backwards-compatible system views still have the config columns, they no longer completely represent the configuration for a user or database. Catalog version bumped.
* Fix snapshot management, take two.Alvaro Herrera2009-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Partially revert the previous patch I installed and replace it with a more general fix: any time a snapshot is pushed as Active, we need to ensure that it will not be modified in the future. This means that if the same snapshot is used as CurrentSnapshot, it needs to be copied separately. This affects serializable transactions only, because CurrentSnapshot has already been copied by RegisterSnapshot and so PushActiveSnapshot does not think it needs another copy. However, CommandCounterIncrement would modify CurrentSnapshot, whereas ActiveSnapshots must not have their command counters incremented. I say "partially" because the regression test I added for the previous bug has been kept. (This restores 8.3 behavior, because before snapmgr.c existed, any snapshot set as Active was copied.) Per bug report from Stuart Bishop in 6bc73d4c0910042358k3d1adff3qa36f8df75198ecea@mail.gmail.com
* Clean up the clean rules of the documentationPeter Eisentraut2009-10-06
| | | | | | Most things should be cleaned by "make clean", except the parts that are shipped in the tarball. These rules had gotten a bit out of whack after the various restructurings of the documentation build rules.
* Change CREATE TABLE so that column default expressions coming from differentTom Lane2009-10-06
| | | | | | | | | inheritance parent tables are compared using equal(), instead of doing strcmp() on the nodeToString representation. The old implementation was always a tad cheesy, and it finally fails completely as of 8.4, now that the node tree might contain syntax location information. equal() knows it's supposed to ignore those fields, but strcmp() hardly can. Per recent report from Scott Ribe.

* Create an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which allows users to adjustTom Lane2009-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects. 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

* Fix assorted memory leaks in pg_hba.conf parsing. Over a sufficientlyTom Lane2009-10-03
| | | | | | large number of SIGHUP cycles, these would have run the postmaster out of memory. Noted while testing memory-leak scenario in postgresql.conf configuration-change-printing patch.
* Fix a couple of issues in recent patch to print updates to postgresql.confTom Lane2009-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | settings: avoid calling superuser() in contexts where it's not defined, don't leak the transient copies of GetConfigOption output, and avoid the whole exercise in postmaster child processes. 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 an oversight in an 8.3-era patch: pgstat_initstats should allow statsTom Lane2009-10-02

* Make sure that GIN fast-insert and regular code paths enforce the sameTom Lane2009-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | tuple size limit. Improve the error message for index-tuple-too-large so that it includes the actual size, the limit, and the index name. Sync with the btree occurrences of the same error. Back-patch to 8.4 because it appears that the out-of-sync problem is occurring in the field. Teodor and Tom
* 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.
