* Since sort_bounded_heap makes state changes that should be madeTom Lane2007-09-01
| | | | | | | | | regardless of the number of tuples involved, it's incorrect to skip it when memtupcount = 1; the number of cycles saved is minuscule anyway. An alternative solution would be to pull the state changes out to the call site in tuplesort_performsort, but keeping them near the corresponding changes in make_bounded_heap seems marginally cleaner. Noticed by Greg Stark.
* Apply a band-aid fix for the problem that 8.2 and up completely misestimateTom Lane2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the number of rows likely to be produced by a query such as SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (key) WHERE t2.key IS NULL; What this is doing is selecting for t1 rows with no match in t2, and thus it may produce a significant number of rows even if the t2.key table column contains no nulls at all. 8.2 thinks the table column's null fraction is relevant and thus may estimate no rows out, which results in terrible plans if there are more joins above this one. A proper fix for this will involve passing much more information about the context of a clause to the selectivity estimator functions than we ever have. There's no time left to write such a patch for 8.3, and it wouldn't be back-patchable into 8.2 anyway. Instead, put in an ad-hoc test to defeat the normal table-stats-based estimation when an IS NULL test is evaluated at an outer join, and just use a constant estimate instead --- I went with 0.5 for lack of a better idea. This won't catch every case but it will catch the typical ways of writing such queries, and it seems unlikely to make things worse for other queries.

* Extend whole-row Var evaluation to cope with the case that the sub-planTom Lane2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | generating the tuples has resjunk output columns. This is not possible for simple table scans but can happen when evaluating a whole-row Var for a view. Per example from Patryk Kordylewski. The problem exists back to 8.0 but I'm not going to risk back-patching further than 8.2 because of the many changes in this area.

* Rewrite make_outerjoininfo's construction of min_lefthand and min_righthandTom Lane2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sets for outer joins, in the light of bug #3588 and additional thought and experimentation. The original methodology was fatally flawed for nests of more than two outer joins: it got the relationships between adjacent joins right, but didn't always come to the right conclusions about whether a join could be interchanged with one two or more levels below it. This was largely caused by a mistaken idea that we should use the min_lefthand + min_righthand sets of a sub-join as the minimum left or right input set of an upper join when we conclude that the sub-join can't commute with the upper one. If there's a still-lower join that the sub-join *can* commute with, this method led us to think that that one could commute with the topmost join; which it can't. Another problem (not directly connected to bug #3588) was that make_outerjoininfo's processing-order-dependent method for enforcing outer join identity #3 didn't work right: if we decided that join A could safely commute with lower join B, we dropped all information about sub-joins under B that join A could perhaps not safely commute with, because we removed B's entire min_righthand from A's. To fix, make an explicit computation of all inner join combinations that occur below an outer join, and add to that the full syntactic relsets of any lower outer joins that we determine it can't commute with. This method gives much more direct enforcement of the outer join rearrangement identities, and it turns out not to cost a lot of additional bookkeeping. Thanks to Richard Harris for the bug report and test case.

| | | | | | | | | | checks for individual-table-size functions, since anyone in the database could get approximate values from pg_class.relpages anyway. Allow database-size to users with CONNECT privilege for the target database (note that this is granted by default). Allow tablespace-size if the user has CREATE privilege on the tablespace (which is *not* granted by default), or if the tablespace is the default tablespace for the current database (since we treat that as implicitly allowing use of the tablespace).
* Fix aboriginal bug in _tarAddFile(): when complaining that the amount of dataTom Lane2007-08-29
| | | | | | read from the temp file didn't match the file length reported by ftello(), the wrong variable's value was printed, and so the message made no sense. Clean up a couple other coding infelicities while at it.

* Improve behavior of log_lock_waits patch. Ensure that something gets loggedTom Lane2007-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | even if the "deadlock detected" ERROR message is suppressed by an exception catcher. Be clearer about the event sequence when a soft deadlock is fixed: the fixing process might or might not still have to wait, so log that separately. Fix race condition when someone releases us from the lock partway through printing all this junk --- we'd not get confused about our state, but the log message sequence could have been misleading, ie, a "still waiting" message with no subsequent "acquired" message.

* Fix a couple of misbehaviors rooted in the fact that the default creationTom Lane2007-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | namespace isn't necessarily first in the search path (there could be implicit schemas ahead of it). Examples are test=# set search_path TO s1; test=# create view pg_timezone_names as select * from pg_timezone_names(); ERROR: "pg_timezone_names" is already a view test=# create table pg_class (f1 int primary key); ERROR: permission denied: "pg_class" is a system catalog You'd expect these commands to create the requested objects in s1, since names beginning with pg_ aren't supposed to be reserved anymore. What is happening is that we create the requested base table and then execute additional commands (here, CREATE RULE or CREATE INDEX), and that code is passed the same RangeVar that was in the original command. Since that RangeVar has schemaname = NULL, the secondary commands think they should do a path search, and that means they find system catalogs that are implicitly in front of s1 in the search path. This is perilously close to being a security hole: if the secondary command failed to apply a permission check then it'd be possible for unprivileged users to make schema modifications to system catalogs. But as far as I can find, there is no code path in which a check doesn't occur. Which makes it just a weird corner-case bug for people who are silly enough to want to name their tables the same as a system catalog. The relevant code has changed quite a bit since 8.2, which means this patch wouldn't work as-is in the back branches. Since it's a corner case no one has reported from the field, I'm not going to bother trying to back-patch.
* Remove the 'not in' operator (!!=). This was a hangover from BerkeleyTom Lane2007-08-27
| | | | | | | days that was obsolete the moment we had IN (SELECT ...) capability. It's arguably a security hole since it applied no permissions check to the table it searched, and since it was never documented anywhere, removing it seems more appropriate than fixing it.

* Restrict pg_relation_size to relation owner, pg_database_size to DB owner,Tom Lane2007-08-27
| | | | | | and pg_tablespace_size to superusers. Perhaps we could weaken the first case to just require SELECT privilege, but that doesn't work for the other cases, so use ownership as the common concept.
* Make currtid() functions require SELECT privileges on the target table.Tom Lane2007-08-27
| | | | | | While it's not clear that TID linkage info is of any great use to a nefarious user, it's certainly unexpected that these functions wouldn't insist on read privileges.
