* Doc: Clarify lock levels taken during ATTACH PARTITIONDavid Rowley2021-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It wasn't all that clear which lock levels, if any, would be held on the DEFAULT partition during an ATTACH PARTITION operation. Also, clarify which locks will be taken if the DEFAULT partition or the table being attached are themselves partitioned tables. Here I'm only backpatching to v12 as before then we obtained an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock on the partitioned table. It seems much less relevant to mention which locks are taken on other tables when the partitioned table itself is locked with an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock.

* Add support for SET ACCESS METHOD in ALTER TABLEMichael Paquier2021-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic used to support a change of access method for a table is similar to changes for tablespace or relation persistence, requiring a table rewrite with an exclusive lock of the relation changed. Table rewrites done in ALTER TABLE already go through the table AM layer when scanning tuples from the old relation and inserting them into the new one, making this implementation straight-forward. Note that partitioned tables are not supported as these have no access methods defined.

* Remove seemingly unneeded include directory in MSVC scriptsDavid Rowley2021-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This appears to have been added way back in ee3b4188a but it's a little unclear why the change made in that commit is even needed given that 320c7eb8c, dated 18 months earlier, added code to copy fmgroids.h to src/include/utils. amcheck seems to get away without adding the additional include directory, so perhaps dblink can get away with it too. This builds ok in my VS2017 environment, but the buildfarm may serve as a reminder about why ee3b4188a was required. There's only one way to find out for sure.

* Set pg_setting.pending_restart when pertinent config lines are removedAlvaro Herrera2021-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the behavior of examining the pg_file_settings view after changing a config option that requires restart. The user needs to know that any change of such options does not take effect until a restart, and this worked correctly if the line is edited without removing it. However, for the case where the line is removed altogether, the flag doesn't get set, because a flag was only set in set_config_option, but that's not called for lines removed. Repair.

* Avoid using ambiguous word "non-negative" in error messages.Fujii Masao2021-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The error messages using the word "non-negative" are confusing because it's ambiguous about whether it accepts zero or not. This commit improves those error messages by replacing it with less ambiguous word like "greater than zero" or "greater than or equal to zero". Also this commit added the note about the word "non-negative" to the error message style guide, to help writing the new error messages. When postgres_fdw option fetch_size was set to zero, previously the error message "fetch_size requires a non-negative integer value" was reported. This error message was outright buggy. Therefore back-patch to all supported versions where such buggy error message could be thrown.

* In event triggers, use "pg_temp" only for our own temp schema.Tom Lane2021-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands used "pg_temp" to refer to any temp schema, not only that of the current backend. This seems like overreach. It's somewhat unlikely that DDL commands would refer to temp objects of other sessions to begin with, but if they do, "pg_temp" would be a most misleading way to display the action. While this seems like a bug, it's not quite out of the realm of possibility that somebody out there is expecting the current behavior. Hence, fix in HEAD, but don't back-patch.

* Use the "pg_temp" schema alias in EXPLAIN and related output.Tom Lane2021-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch causes EXPLAIN output to refer to objects that are in the current session's temp schema with the "pg_temp" schema alias rather than that schema's actual name. This is useful for our own testing purposes since it will stabilize EXPLAIN VERBOSE output for such cases, allowing us to use that in regression tests. It should be less confusing for end users too. Since ruleutils.c needs to change behavior for this, the change also leaks into a few other users of ruleutils.c, for example pg_get_viewdef(). AFAICS that won't cause any problems. We did find that aggressively trying to change this behavior across-the-board would cause issues, but as long as "pg_temp" only appears within generated SQL text, I think it'll be fine. Along the way, make get_namespace_name_or_temp conform to the same API as get_namespace_name, ie that it returns a palloc'd string or NULL. The current behavior hasn't caused any bugs since no callers attempt to pfree the result, but if it gets more widespread usage that could become a problem.

* Allow numeric scale to be negative or greater than precision.Dean Rasheed2021-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, when specifying NUMERIC(precision, scale), the scale had to be in the range [0, precision], which was per SQL spec. This commit extends the range of allowed scales to [-1000, 1000], independent of the precision (whose valid range remains [1, 1000]). A negative scale implies rounding before the decimal point. For example, a column might be declared with a scale of -3 to round values to the nearest thousand. Note that the display scale remains non-negative, so in this case the display scale will be zero, and all digits before the decimal point will be displayed. A scale greater than the precision supports fractional values with zeros immediately after the decimal point. Take the opportunity to tidy up the code that packs, unpacks and validates the contents of a typmod integer, encapsulating it in a small set of new inline functions. Bump the catversion because the allowed contents of atttypmod have changed for numeric columns. This isn't a change that requires a re-initdb, but negative scale values in the typmod would confuse old backends. Dean Rasheed, with additional improvements by Tom Lane. Reviewed by Tom Lane.

* Get rid of artificial restriction on hash table sizes on Windows.Tom Lane2021-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The point of introducing the hash_mem_multiplier GUC was to let users reproduce the old behavior of hash aggregation, i.e. that it could use more than work_mem at need. However, the implementation failed to get the job done on Win64, where work_mem is clamped to 2GB to protect various places that calculate memory sizes using "long int". As written, the same clamp was applied to hash_mem. This resulted in severe performance regressions for queries requiring a bit more than 2GB for hash aggregation, as they now spill to disk and there's no way to stop that. Getting rid of the work_mem restriction seems like a good idea, but it's a big job and could not conceivably be back-patched. However, there's only a fairly small number of places that are concerned with the hash_mem value, and it turns out to be possible to remove the restriction there without too much code churn or any ABI breaks. So, let's do that for now to fix the regression, and leave the larger task for another day. This patch does introduce a bit more infrastructure that should help with the larger task, namely pg_bitutils.h support for working with size_t values. Per gripe from Laurent Hasson. Back-patch to v13 where the behavior change came in.

* Fix check for conflicting session- vs transaction-level locks.Tom Lane2021-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have an implementation restriction that PREPARE TRANSACTION can't handle cases where both session-lifespan and transaction-lifespan locks are held on the same lockable object. (That's because we'd otherwise need to acquire a new PROCLOCK entry during post-prepare cleanup, which is an operation that might fail. The situation can only arise with odd usages of advisory locks, so removing the restriction is probably not worth the amount of effort it would take.) AtPrepare_Locks attempted to enforce this, but its logic was many bricks shy of a load, because it only detected cases where the session and transaction locks had the same lockmode. Locks of different modes on the same object would lead to the rather unhelpful message "PANIC: we seem to have dropped a bit somewhere". To fix, build a transient hashtable with one entry per locktag, not one per locktag + mode, and use that to detect conflicts. Per bug #17122 from Alexander Pyhalov. This bug is ancient, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17122-04f3c32098a62233@postgresql.org
* Make printf("%s", NULL) print "(null)" instead of crashing.Tom Lane2021-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We previously took a hard-line attitude that callers should never print a null string pointer, and doing so is worthy of an assertion failure or crash. However, we've long since flushed out any easy-to-find bugs of that nature. What remains is a lot of code that perhaps could fail that way in hard-to-reach corner cases. For example, in something as simple as ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT), errmsg("constraint \"%s\" for table \"%s\" does not exist", conname, get_rel_name(relid)))); one must wonder whether it's completely guaranteed that get_rel_name cannot return NULL in this context. If such a situation did occur, the existing policy converts what might be a pretty minor bug into a server crash condition. This is not good for robustness. Hence, let's follow the lead of glibc and print "(null)" instead of failing. We should, of course, still consider it a bug if that behavior is reachable in ordinary use; but crashing seems less desirable than not crashing. This fix works across-the-board in v12 and up, where we always use src/port/snprintf.c. Before that, on most platforms we're at the mercy of the local libc, but it appears that Solaris 10 is the only supported platform where we'd still get a crash. Most other platforms such as *BSD, macOS, and Solaris 11 have adopted glibc's behavior at some point. (AIX and HPUX just print "" not "(null)", but that's close enough.) I've not checked what Windows' native printf would do, but it doesn't matter because we've long used snprintf.c on that platform. In v12 and up, also const-ify related code so that we're not casting away const on the constant string. This is just neatnik-ism, since next to no compilers will warn about that.

* Unify parsing logic for command-line integer optionsMichael Paquier2021-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the integer options for command-line binaries now make use of a single routine able to do the job, fixing issues with the detection of sloppy values caused for example by the use of atoi(), that fails on strings beginning with numerical characters with junk trailing characters. This commit cuts down the number of strings requiring translation by 26 per my count, switching the code to have two error types for invalid and out-of-range values instead. Much more could be done here, with float or even int64 options, but int32 was the most appealing case as it is possible to rely on strtol() to do the job reliably. Note that there are some exceptions for now, like pg_ctl or pg_upgrade that use their own logging logic. A couple of negative TAP tests required some adjustments for the new errors generated. pg_dump and pg_restore tracked the maximum number of parallel jobs within the option parsing. The code is refactored a bit to track that in the code dedicated to parallelism instead.

Per suggestion from mdione at grulic.org.ar. https://postgr.es/m/162661954599.693.13700316547731859171@wrigleys.postgresql.org

* Document "B" and "us" as accepted units in postgres.conf.sampleJohn Naylor2021-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In postgresql.conf, memory and file size GUCs can be specified with "B" (bytes) as of b06d8e58b. Likewise, time GUCs can be specified with "us" (microseconds) as of caf626b2c. Update postgres.conf.sample to reflect that fact. Pavel Luzanov Backpatch to v12, which is the earliest version that allows both of these units. A separate commit will document the "B" case for v11.

* More improvements of error messages about mismatching relkindPeter Eisentraut2021-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | Follow-up to 2ed532ee8c474e9767e76e1f3251cc3a0224358c, a few error messages in the logical replication area currently only deal with tables, but if we're anticipating more relkinds such as sequences being handled, then these messages also fall into the category affected by the previous patch, so adjust them too.

* Make XLOG_FPI_FOR_HINT records honor full_page_writes setting.Fujii Masao2021-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2c03216d83 changed XLOG_FPI_FOR_HINT records so that they always included full-page images even when full_page_writes was disabled. However, in this setting, they don't need to do that because hint bit updates don't need to be protected from torn writes. Therefore, this commit makes XLOG_FPI_FOR_HINT records honor full_page_writes setting. That is, XLOG_FPI_FOR_HINT records may include no full-page images if full_page_writes is disabled, and WAL replay of them does nothing.
