* Teach pg_dump about the new pg_subscription.subrunasowner option.Tom Lane2023-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Among numerous other oversights, commit 482675987 neglected to fix pg_dump to dump this new subscription option. Since the new default is "false" while the previous behavior corresponds to "true", this would cause legacy subscriptions to silently change behavior during dump/reload or pg_upgrade. That seems like a bad idea. Even if it was intended, failing to preserve the option once set in a new installation is certainly not OK. While here, reorder associated stanzas in pg_dump to match the field order in pg_subscription, in hopes of reducing the impression that all this code was written with the aid of a dartboard. Back-patch to v16 where this new field was added. Philip Warner (cosmetic tweaks by me) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20231027042539.01A3A220F0A@thebes.rime.com.au

* btree_gin: Fix calculation of leftmost interval value.Dean Rasheed2023-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, the value computed by leftmostvalue_interval() was a long way short of the minimum possible interval value. As a result, an index scan on a GIN index on an interval column with < or <= operators would miss large negative interval values. Fix by setting all fields of the leftmost interval to their minimum values, ensuring that the result is less than any other possible interval. Since this only affects index searches, no index rebuild is necessary. Back-patch to all supported branches. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Heikki Linnakangas.

* Fix intra-query memory leak when a SRF returns zero rows.Tom Lane2023-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When looping around after finding that the set-returning function returned zero rows for the current input tuple, ExecProjectSet neglected to reset either of the two memory contexts it's responsible for cleaning out. Typically this wouldn't cause much problem, because once the SRF does return at least one row, the contexts would get reset on the next call. However, if the SRF returns no rows for many input tuples in succession, quite a lot of memory could be transiently consumed. To fix, make sure we reset both contexts while looping around.

* Remove PHOT from our default timezone abbreviations list.Tom Lane2023-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debian recently decided to split out a bunch of "obsolete" timezone names into a new tzdata-legacy package, which isn't installed by default. One of these zone names is Pacific/Enderbury, and that breaks our regression tests (on --with-system-tzdata builds) because our default timezone abbreviations list defines PHOT as Pacific/Enderbury. Pacific/Enderbury got renamed to Pacific/Kanton in tzdata 2021b, so that in distros that still have this entry it's just a symlink to Pacific/Kanton anyway. So one answer would be to redefine PHOT as Pacific/Kanton. However, then things would fail if the installed tzdata predates 2021b, which is recent enough that that seems like a real problem. Instead, let's just remove PHOT from the default list. That seems likely to affect nobody in the real world, because (a) it was an abbreviation that the tzdb crew made up in the first place, with no evidence of real-world usage, and (b) the total human population of the Phoenix Islands is less than two dozen persons, per Wikipedia. If anyone does use this zone abbreviation they can easily put it back via a custom abbreviations file. We'll keep PHOT in the Pacific.txt reference file, but change it to Pacific/Kanton there, as that definition seems more likely to be useful to future readers of that file.

* Fix minmax-multi distance for extreme interval valuesTomas Vondra2023-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calculating distance for interval values, the code mostly mimicked interval_mi, i.e. it built a new interval value for the difference. That however does not work for sufficiently distant interval values, when the difference overflows the interval range. Instead, we can calculate the distance directly, without constructing the intermediate (and unnecessary) interval value. Backpatch to 14, where minmax-multi indexes were introduced.

* Fix minmax-multi on infinite date/timestamp valuesTomas Vondra2023-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure that infinite values in date/timestamp columns are treated as if in infinite distance. Infinite values should not be merged with other values, leaving them as outliers. The code however returned distance 0 in this case, so that infinite values were merged first. While this does not break the index (i.e. it still produces correct query results), it may make it much less efficient. We don't need explicit handling of infinite date/timestamp values when calculating distances, because those values are represented as extreme but regular values (e.g. INT64_MIN/MAX for the timestamp type). We don't need an exact distance, just a value that is much larger than distanced between regular values. With the added cast to double values, we can simply subtract the values. The regression test queries a value in the "gap" and checks the range was properly eliminated by the BRIN index. This only affects minmax-multi indexes on timestamp/date columns with infinite values, which is not very common in practice. The affected indexes may need to be rebuilt.

* Fix calculation in brin_minmax_multi_distance_dateTomas Vondra2023-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calculating the distance between date values, make sure to subtract them in the right order, i.e. (larger - smaller). The distance is used to determine which values to merge, and is expected to be a positive value. The code unfortunately did the subtraction in the opposite order, i.e. (smaller - larger), thus producing negative values and merging values the most distant values first. The resulting index is correct (i.e. produces correct results), but may be significantly less efficient. This affects all minmax-multi indexes on date columns.

* Fix overflow when calculating timestamp distance in BRINTomas Vondra2023-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calculating distances for timestamp values for BRIN minmax-multi indexes, we need to be careful about overflows for extreme values. If the value overflows into a negative value, the index may be inefficient. The new regression test checks this for the timestamp type by adding a table with enough values to force range compaction/merging. The values are close to min/max, which means a risk of overflow. Fixed by converting the int64 values to double first, before calculating the distance. This prevents the overflow. We may lose some precision, of course, but that's good enough. In the worst case we build a slightly less efficient index, but for large distances this won't matter. This only affects minmax-multi indexes on timestamp columns, with ranges containing values sufficiently distant to cause an overflow. That seems like a fairly rare case in practice.

* Optimize various aggregate deserialization functions, take 2David Rowley2023-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | f0efa5aec added initReadOnlyStringInfo to allow a StringInfo to be initialized from an existing buffer and also relaxed the requirement that a StringInfo's buffer must be NUL terminated at data[len]. Now that we have that, there's no need for these aggregate deserial functions to use appendBinaryStringInfo() as that rather wastefully palloc'd a new buffer and memcpy'd in the bytea's buffer. Instead, we can just use the bytea's buffer and point the StringInfo directly to that using the new initializer function. In Amdahl's law, this speeds up the serial portion of parallel aggregates and makes sum(numeric), avg(numeric), var_pop(numeric), var_samp(numeric), variance(numeric), stddev_pop(numeric), stddev_samp(numeric), stddev(numeric), array_agg(anyarray), string_agg(text) and string_agg(bytea) scale better in parallel queries.

* Add trailing commas to enum definitionsPeter Eisentraut2023-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an enum definition. A lot of new code has been introducing this style on the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place, some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing commas everywhere once. I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg, in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere (but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit, so I left those alone.

* Introduce the concept of read-only StringInfosDavid Rowley2023-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were various places in our codebase which conjured up a StringInfo by manually assigning the StringInfo fields and setting the data field to point to some existing buffer. There wasn't much consistency here as to what fields like maxlen got set to and in one location we didn't correctly ensure that the buffer was correctly NUL terminated at len bytes, as per what was documented as required in stringinfo.h Here we introduce 2 new functions to initialize StringInfos. One allows callers to initialize a StringInfo passing along a buffer that is already allocated by palloc. Here the StringInfo code uses this buffer directly rather than doing any memcpying into a new allocation. Having this as a function allows us to verify the buffer is correctly NUL terminated. StringInfos initialized this way can be appended to and reset just like any other normal StringInfo. The other new initialization function also accepts an existing buffer, but the given buffer does not need to be a pointer to a palloc'd chunk. This buffer could be a pointer pointing partway into some palloc'd chunk or may not even be palloc'd at all. StringInfos initialized this way are deemed as "read-only". This means that it's not possible to append to them or reset them. For the latter of the two new initialization functions mentioned above, we relax the requirement that the data buffer must be NUL terminated. Relaxing this requirement is convenient in a few places as it can save us from having to allocate an entire new buffer just to add the NUL terminator or save us from having to temporarily add a NUL only to have to put the original char back again later. Incompatibility note: Here we also forego adding the NUL in a few places where it does not seem to be required. These locations are passing the given StringInfo into a type's receive function. It does not seem like any of our built-in receive functions require this, but perhaps there's some UDT out there in the wild which does require this. It is likely worthy of a mention in the release notes that a UDT's receive function mustn't rely on the input StringInfo being NUL terminated.

In 387f9ed0a0, we changed things so that the executor can now use the parent's "root" RTE for locating its RTEPermissionInfo instead of the child RTE, so the latter's perminfoindex need not be set anymore, so make it so.

* Migrate logical slots to the new node during an upgrade.Amit Kapila2023-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While reading information from the old cluster, a list of logical slots is fetched. At the later part of upgrading, pg_upgrade revisits the list and restores slots by executing pg_create_logical_replication_slot() on the new cluster. Migration of logical replication slots is only supported when the old cluster is version 17.0 or later. If the old node has invalid slots or slots with unconsumed WAL records, the pg_upgrade fails. These checks are needed to prevent data loss. The significant advantage of this commit is that it makes it easy to continue logical replication even after upgrading the publisher node. Previously, pg_upgrade allowed copying publications to a new node. With this patch, adjusting the connection string to the new publisher will cause the apply worker on the subscriber to connect to the new publisher automatically. This enables seamless continuation of logical replication, even after an upgrade.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As far as I can see, ecpg has no notion of a "default" open connection. You can do "CONNECT TO DEFAULT" but that just specifies letting libpq use all its default connection parameters --- the resulting connection is not special subsequently. In particular, SET CONNECTION = DEFAULT and DISCONNECT DEFAULT simply act on a connection named DEFAULT, if you've made one; they do not have special lookup rules. But the documentation of these commands makes it look like they do. Simplest fix, I think, is just to remove the paras suggesting that DEFAULT is special here. Also, SET CONNECTION *does* have one special lookup rule, which is that it recognizes CURRENT as an alias for the currently selected connection. SET CONNECTION = CURRENT is a no-op, so it's pretty useless, but nonetheless it does something different from selecting a connection by name; so we'd better document it.

* Remove useless self-joinsAlexander Korotkov2023-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Self Join Elimination (SJE) feature removes an inner join of a plain table to itself in the query tree if is proved that the join can be replaced with a scan without impacting the query result. Self join and inner relation are replaced with the outer in query, equivalence classes, and planner info structures. Also, inner restrictlist moves to the outer one with removing duplicated clauses. Thus, this optimization reduces the length of the range table list (this especially makes sense for partitioned relations), reduces the number of restriction clauses === selectivity estimations, and potentially can improve total planner prediction for the query. The SJE proof is based on innerrel_is_unique machinery. We can remove a self-join when for each outer row: 1. At most one inner row matches the join clause. 2. Each matched inner row must be (physically) the same row as the outer one. In this patch we use the next approach to identify a self-join: 1. Collect all merge-joinable join quals which look like a.x = b.x 2. Add to the list above the baseretrictinfo of the inner table. 3. Check innerrel_is_unique() for the qual list. If it returns false, skip this pair of joining tables. 4. Check uniqueness, proved by the baserestrictinfo clauses. To prove the possibility of self-join elimination inner and outer clauses must have an exact match. The relation replacement procedure is not trivial and it is partly combined with the one, used to remove useless left joins. Tests, covering this feature, were added to join.sql. Some regression tests changed due to self-join removal logic.

* Speed up pg_regress server readiness testing.Daniel Gustafsson2023-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of connecting to the server with psql to check if it is ready for running tests, this changes pg_regress to use PQPing which avoids performing system() calls which are expensive on some platforms, like Windows. The frequency of tests is also increased in order to connect to the server faster. This patch is part of a larger effort to make testing consume fewer resources in order to be able to fit more tests into the available CI system constraints.

* Fix problems when a plain-inheritance parent table is excluded.Tom Lane2023-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE's target table is an old-style inheritance tree, it's possible for the parent to get excluded from the plan while some children are not. (I believe this is only possible if we can prove that a CHECK ... NO INHERIT constraint on the parent contradicts the query WHERE clause, so it's a very unusual case.) In such a case, ExecInitModifyTable mistakenly concluded that the first surviving child is the target table, leading to at least two bugs: 1. The wrong table's statement-level triggers would get fired. 2. In v16 and up, it was possible to fail with "invalid perminfoindex 0 in RTE with relid nnnn" due to the child RTE not having permissions data included in the query plan. This was hard to reproduce reliably because it did not occur unless the update triggered some non-HOT index updates. In v14 and up, this is easy to fix by defining ModifyTable.rootRelation to be the parent RTE in plain inheritance as well as partitioned cases. While the wrong-triggers bug also appears in older branches, the relevant code in both the planner and executor is quite a bit different, so it would take a good deal of effort to develop and test a suitable patch. Given the lack of field complaints about the trigger issue, I'll desist for now. (Patching v11 for this seems unwise anyway, given that it will have no more releases after next month.) Per bug #18147 from Hans Buschmann. Amit Langote and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18147-6fc796538913ee88@postgresql.org
