* pg_dump: Fix typo in queryPeter Eisentraut2017-02-17
| | | | | This could lead to incorrect dumping of language privileges in some cases, which is probably a rare situation.
* Doc: remove duplicate index entry.Tom Lane2017-02-16
| | | | | | | | | This causes a warning with the old html-docs toolchain, though not with the new. I had originally supposed that we needed both <indexterm> entries to get both a primary index entry and a see-also link; but evidently not, as pointed out by Fabien Coelho.

* Formatting and docs corrections for logical decoding output plugins.Tom Lane2017-02-15

Make the documentation look the same, and fix errors therein (missing and misdescribed parameters). Back-patch because of the documentation bugs.

* Make sure that hash join's bulk-tuple-transfer loops are interruptible.Tom Lane2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The loops in ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches(), and ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket() are all capable of iterating over many tuples without ever doing a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, so that the backend might fail to respond to SIGINT or SIGTERM for an unreasonably long time. Fix that. In the case of ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), it seems useful to put the added CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into ExecHashJoinGetSavedTuple() rather than directly in the loop, because that will also ensure that both principal code paths through ExecHashJoinOuterGetTuple() will do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, which seems like a good idea to avoid surprises. Back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Thomas Munro Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6044.1487121720@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix tab completion for "ALTER SYSTEM SET variable ...".Tom Lane2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It wouldn't complete "TO" after the variable name, which is certainly minor enough. But since we do complete "TO" after "SET variable ...", and since this case used to work pre-9.6, I think this is a bug. Also, fix the query used to collect the variable names; whoever last touched it evidently didn't understand how the pieces are supposed to fit together. It accidentally worked anyway, because readline ignores irrelevant completions, but it was randomly unlike the ones around it, and could be a source of actual bugs if someone copied it as a prototype for another query.
* Fix YA unwanted behavioral difference with operator_precedence_warning.Tom Lane2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jeff Janes noted that the error cursor position shown for some errors would vary when operator_precedence_warning is turned on. We'd prefer that option to have no undocumented effects, so this isn't desirable. To fix, make sure that an AEXPR_PAREN node has the same exprLocation as its child node. (Note: it would be a little cheaper to use @2 here instead of an exprLocation call, but there are cases where that wouldn't produce the identical answer, so don't do it like that.) Back-patch to 9.5 where this feature was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1ykK+VhhcQ4Ky8KBo9FoaUJH3f3rDQB8TkTXi-ZsBRUkQ@mail.gmail.com

* Ignore tablespace ACLs when ignoring schema ACLs.Noah Misch2017-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | The ALTER TABLE ALTER TYPE implementation can issue DROP INDEX and CREATE INDEX to refit existing indexes for the new column type. Since this CREATE INDEX is an implementation detail of an index alteration, the ensuing DefineIndex() should skip ACL checks specific to index creation. It already skips the namespace ACL check. Make it skip the tablespace ACL check, too. Back-patch to 9.2 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Tom Lane.
* Blind try to fix portability issue in commit 8f93bd851 et al.Tom Lane2017-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The S/390 members of the buildfarm are showing failures indicating that they're having trouble with the rint() calls I added yesterday. There's no good reason for that, and I wonder if it is a compiler bug similar to the one we worked around in d9476b838. Try to fix it using the same method as before, namely to store the result of rint() back into a "double" variable rather than immediately converting to int64. (This isn't entirely waving a dead chicken, since on machines with wider-than-double float registers, the extra store forces a width conversion. I don't know if S/390 is like that, but it seems worth trying.) In passing, merge duplicate ereport() calls in float8_timestamptz(). Per buildfarm.
* Fix roundoff problems in float8_timestamptz() and make_interval().Tom Lane2017-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When converting a float value to integer microseconds, we should be careful to round the value to the nearest integer, typically with rint(); simply assigning to an int64 variable will truncate, causing apparently off-by-one values in cases that should work. Most places in the datetime code got this right, but not these two. float8_timestamptz() is new as of commit e511d878f (9.6). Previous versions effectively depended on interval_mul() to do roundoff correctly, which it does, so this fixes an accuracy regression in 9.6. The problem in make_interval() dates to its introduction in 9.4. Aside from being careful to round not truncate, let's incorporate the hours and minutes inputs into the result with exact integer arithmetic, rather than risk introducing roundoff error where there need not have been any. float8_timestamptz() problem reported by Erik Nordström, though this is not his proposed patch. make_interval() problem found by me.

* Avoid returning stale attribute bitmaps in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap().Tom Lane2017-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem with the original coding here is that we might receive (and clear) a relcache invalidation signal for the target relation down inside one of the index_open calls we're doing. Since the target is open, we would not drop the relcache entry, just reset its rd_indexvalid and rd_indexlist fields. But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() kept going, and would eventually cache and return potentially-obsolete attribute bitmaps. The case where this matters is where the inval signal was from a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY telling us about a new index on a formerly-unindexed column. (In all other cases, the lock we hold on the target rel should prevent any concurrent change in index state.) Even just returning the stale attribute bitmap is not such a problem, because it shouldn't matter during the transaction in which we receive the signal. What hurts is caching the stale data, because it can survive into later transactions, breaking CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY's expectation that later transactions will not create new broken HOT chains. The upshot is that there's a window for building corrupted indexes during CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This patch fixes the problem by rechecking that the set of index OIDs is still the same at the end of RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() as it was at the start. If not, we loop back and try again. That's a little more than is strictly necessary to fix the bug --- in principle, we could return the stale data but not cache it --- but it seems like a bad idea on general principles for relcache to return data it knows is stale. There might be more hazards of the same ilk, or there might be a better way to fix this one, but this patch definitely improves matters and seems unlikely to make anything worse. So let's push it into today's releases even as we continue to study the problem.

* Fix placement of initPlans when forcibly materializing a subplan.Tom Lane2017-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we forcibly place a Material node atop a finished subplan, we need to move any initPlans attached to the subplan up to the Material node, in order to keep SS_finalize_plan() happy. I'd figured this out in commit 7b67a0a49 for the case of materializing a cursor plan, but out of an abundance of caution, I put the initPlan movement hack at the call site for that case, rather than inside materialize_finished_plan(). That was the wrong thing, because it turns out to also be necessary for the only other caller of materialize_finished_plan(), ie subselect.c. We lacked any test cases that exposed the mistake, but bug#14524 from Wei Congrui shows that it's possible to get an initPlan reference into the top tlist in that case too, and then SS_finalize_plan() complains. Hence, move the hack into materialize_finished_plan(). In HEAD, also relocate some recently-added tests in subselect.sql, which I'd unthinkingly dropped into the middle of a sequence of related tests.

* Don't count background workers against a user's connection limit.Andrew Dunstan2017-02-01

* pg_dump: Fix handling of ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGESStephen Frost2017-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 23f34fa, we changed how ACLs were handled to use the new pg_init_privs catalog and to dump out the ACL commands as REVOKE+GRANT combinations instead of trying to REVOKE all rights always and then GRANT back just the ones which were in place. Unfortunately, the DEFAULT PRIVILEGES system didn't quite get the correct treatment with this change and ended up (incorrectly) only including positive GRANTs instead of both the REVOKEs and GRANTs necessary to preserve the correct privileges. There are only a couple cases where such REVOKEs are possible because, generally speaking, there's few rights which exist on objects by default to be revoked. Examples of REVOKEs which weren't being correctly preserved are when privileges are REVOKE'd from the creator/owner, like so: ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE myrole REVOKE SELECT ON TABLES FROM myrole; or when other default privileges are being revoked, such as EXECUTE rights granted to public for functions: ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE myrole REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS FROM PUBLIC; Fix this by correctly working out what the correct REVOKE statements are (if any) and dump them out, just as we do for everything else. Noticed while developing additional regression tests for pg_dump, which will be landing shortly. Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.
* test_pg_dump: perltidy cleanupStephen Frost2017-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As pointed out by Alvaro, we actually use perltidy on the perl scripts in the source tree, so go back to the results of a perltidy run for the test_pg_dump TAP script. To make it look slightly less tragic, I changed most of the independent arguments into long-form single arguments (eg: -f file.sql changed to be --file=file.sql) to avoid having them confusingly split across lines due to perltidy. Back-patch to 9.6, as the last patch was.

* Handle ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP with pg_init_privsStephen Frost2017-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 6c268df, pg_init_privs was added to track the initial privileges of catalog objects and extensions. Unfortunately, that commit didn't include understanding of ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP, which allows the objects associated with an extension to be changed after the initial CREATE EXTENSION script has been run. The result of this meant that ACLs for objects added through ALTER EXTENSION ADD were not recorded into pg_init_privs and we would end up including those ACLs in pg_dump when we shouldn't have. This commit corrects that by making sure to have pg_init_privs updated when ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP is run, recording the permissions as they are at ALTER EXTENSION ADD time, and removing any if/when ALTER EXTENSION DROP is called. This issue was pointed out by Moshe Jacobson as commentary on bug #14456 (which was actually a bug about versions prior to 9.6 not handling custom ACLs on extensions correctly, an issue now addressed with pg_init_privs in 9.6). Back-patch to 9.6 where pg_init_privs was introduced.
* test_pg_dump TAP test whitespace cleanupStephen Frost2017-01-29

* Add castNode(type, ptr) for safe casting between NodeTag based types.Andres Freund2017-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new function allows to cast from one NodeTag based type to another, while asserting that the conversion is valid. This replaces the common pattern of doing a cast and a Assert(IsA(ptr, type)) close-by. As this seems likely to be used pervasively, we decided to backpatch this change the addition of this macro. Otherwise backpatched fixes are more likely not to work on back-branches. On branches before 9.6, where we do not yet rely on inline functions being available, the type assertion is only performed if PG_USE_INLINE support is detected. The cast obviously is performed regardless. For the benefit of verifying the macro compiles in the back-branches, this commit contains a single use of the new macro. On master, a somewhat larger conversion will be committed separately.

* Ensure that a tsquery like '!foo' matches empty tsvectors.Tom Lane2017-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | !foo means "the tsvector does not contain foo", and therefore it should match an empty tsvector. ts_match_vq() overenthusiastically supposed that an empty tsvector could never match any query, so it forcibly returned FALSE, the wrong answer. Remove the premature optimization. Our behavior on this point was inconsistent, because while seqscans and GIST index searches both failed to match empty tsvectors, GIN index searches would find them, since GIN scans don't rely on ts_match_vq(). That makes this certainly a bug, not a debatable definition disagreement, so back-patch to all supported branches. Report and diagnosis by Tom Dunstan (bug #14515); added test cases by me.

* Avoid useless respawining the autovacuum launcher at high speed.Robert Haas2017-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When (1) autovacuum = off and (2) there's at least one database with an XID age greater than autovacuum_freeze_max_age and (3) all tables in that database that need vacuuming are already being processed by a worker and (4) the autovacuum launcher is started, a kind of infinite loop occurs. The launcher starts a worker and immediately exits. The worker, finding no worker to do, immediately starts the launcher, supposedly so that the next database can be processed. But because datfrozenxid for that database hasn't been advanced yet, the new worker gets put right back into the same database as the old one, where it once again starts the launcher and exits. High-speed ping pong ensues. There are several possible ways to break the cycle; this seems like the safest one. Amit Khandekar (code) and Robert Haas (comments), reviewed by Álvaro Herrera.

* Dump sequence data based on the TableDataInfo flagStephen Frost2017-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When considering a sequence's Data entry in dumpSequenceData, we were actually looking at the sequence definition's dump flag to decide if we should dump the data or not. That's generally fine, except for when the sequence data entry was created by processExtensionTables() because it's a config sequence. In that case, the sequence itself won't be marked as dumping data because it's part of an extension, leading to the need for processExtensionTables() to create the sequence data entry. This leads to extension config sequence data not being included in the dump when it should be. Fix this by looking at the sequence data's dump flag instead, just as dumpTableData() was doing for tables (which is why config tables were correctly being handled), and add a regression test to make sure we don't break it moving forward. All of this is a bit round-about since we can now represent which components of a given dump item should be dumped out through the dump flag. A future improvement might be to change checkExtensionMembership() to check for config sequences/tables and set the dump flag based on that directly, possibly removing the need for processExtensionTables(). Bug found by Daniele Varrazzo.

* Change some test macros to return true booleansAlvaro Herrera2017-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These macros work fine when they are used directly in an "if" test or similar, but as soon as the return values are assigned to boolean variables (or passed as boolean arguments to some function), they become bugs, hopefully caught by compiler warnings. To avoid future problems, fix the definitions so that they return actual booleans. To further minimize the risk that somebody uses them in back-patched fixes that only work correctly in branches starting from the current master and not in old ones, back-patch the change to supported branches as appropriate.

* Disable transforms that replaced AT TIME ZONE with RelabelType.Tom Lane2017-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These resulted in wrong answers if the relabeled argument could be matched to an index column, as shown in bug #14504 from Evgeniy Kozlov. We might be able to resurrect these optimizations by adjusting the planner's treatment of RelabelType, or by adjusting btree's rules for selecting comparison functions, but either solution will take careful analysis and does not sound like a fit candidate for backpatching. I left the catalog infrastructure in place and just reduced the transform functions to always-return-NULL. This would be necessary anyway in the back branches, and it doesn't seem important to be more invasive in HEAD. Bug introduced by commit b8a18ad48. Back-patch to 9.5 where that came in.

* Fix an assertion failure related to an exclusive backup.Fujii Masao2017-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously multiple sessions could execute pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() to start and stop an exclusive backup at the same time. This could trigger the assertion failure of "FailedAssertion("!(XLogCtl->Insert.exclusiveBackup)". This happend because, even while pg_start_backup() was starting an exclusive backup, other session could run pg_stop_backup() concurrently and mark the backup as not-in-progress unconditionally. This patch introduces ExclusiveBackupState indicating the state of an exclusive backup. This state is used to ensure that there is only one session running pg_start_backup() or pg_stop_backup() at the same time, to avoid the assertion failure. Back-patch to all supported versions.

* Throw suitable error for COPY TO STDOUT/FROM STDIN in a SQL function.Tom Lane2017-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A client copy can't work inside a function because the FE/BE wire protocol doesn't support nesting of a COPY operation within query results. (Maybe it could, but the protocol spec doesn't suggest that clients should support this, and libpq for one certainly doesn't.) In most PLs, this prohibition is enforced by spi.c, but SQL functions don't use SPI. A comparison of _SPI_execute_plan() and init_execution_state() shows that rejecting client COPY is the only discrepancy in what they allow, so there's no other similar bugs. This is an astonishingly ancient oversight, so back-patch to all supported branches. Report: https://postgr.es/m/BY2PR05MB2309EABA3DEFA0143F50F0D593780@BY2PR05MB2309.namprd05.prod.outlook.com
* pg_upgrade: Fix for changed pg_ctl default stop modePeter Eisentraut2017-01-13

* Fix cardinality estimates for parallel joins.Robert Haas2017-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a partial path, the cardinality estimate needs to reflect the number of rows we think each worker will see, rather than the total number of rows; otherwise, costing will go wrong. The previous coding got this completely wrong for parallel joins. Unfortunately, this change may destabilize plans for users of 9.6 who have enabled parallel query, but since 9.6 is still fairly new I'm hoping expectations won't be too settled yet. Also, this is really a brown-paper-bag bug, so leaving it unfixed for the entire lifetime of 9.6 seems unwise.

* pg_restore: Don't allow non-positive number of jobsStephen Frost2017-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_restore will currently accept invalid values for the number of parallel jobs to run (eg: -1), unlike pg_dump which does check that the value provided is reasonable. Worse, '-1' is actually a valid, independent, parameter (as an alias for --single-transaction), leading to potentially completely unexpected results from a command line such as: -> pg_restore -j -1 Where a user would get neither parallel jobs nor a single-transaction. Add in validity checking of the parallel jobs option, as we already have in pg_dump, before we try to open up the archive. Also move the check that we haven't been asked to run more parallel jobs than possible on Windows to the same place, so we do all the option validity checking before opening the archive. Back-patch all the way, though for 9.2 we're adding the Windows-specific check against MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS as that check wasn't back-patched originally.

* pg_dump: Strict names with no matching schemaStephen Frost2017-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using pg_dump --strict-names and a schema pattern which doesn't match any schemas (eg: --schema='nonexistant*'), we were incorrectly throwing an error claiming no tables were found when, really, there were no schemas found: -> pg_dump --strict-names --schema='nonexistant*' pg_dump: no matching tables were found for pattern "nonexistant*" Fix that by changing the error message to say 'schemas' instead, since that is what we are actually complaining about. Noticed while testing pg_dump error cases. Back-patch to 9.6 where --strict-names and this error message were introduced.
* Fix invalid-parallel-jobs error messageStephen Frost2017-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Including the program name twice is not helpful: -> pg_dump -j -1 pg_dump: pg_dump: invalid number of parallel jobs Correct by removing the progname from the exit_horribly() call used when validating the number of parallel jobs. Noticed while testing various pg_dump error cases. Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel pg_dump was added.
* Fix ALTER TABLE / SET TYPE for irregular inheritanceAlvaro Herrera2017-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If inherited tables don't have exactly the same schema, the USING clause in an ALTER TABLE / SET DATA TYPE misbehaves when applied to the children tables since commit 9550e8348b79. Starting with that commit, the attribute numbers in the USING expression are fixed during parse analysis. This can lead to bogus errors being reported during execution, such as: ERROR: attribute 2 has wrong type DETAIL: Table has type smallint, but query expects integer. Since it wouldn't do to revert to the original coding, we now apply a transformation to map the attribute numbers to the correct ones for each child.
