* Fix assorted fallout from IS [NOT] NULL patch.Tom Lane2016-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 4452000f3 et al established semantics for NullTest.argisrow that are a bit different from its initial conception: rather than being merely a cache of whether we've determined the input to have composite type, the flag now has the further meaning that we should apply field-by-field testing as per the standard's definition of IS [NOT] NULL. If argisrow is false and yet the input has composite type, the construct instead has the semantics of IS [NOT] DISTINCT FROM NULL. Update the comments in primnodes.h to clarify this, and fix ruleutils.c and deparse.c to print such cases correctly. In the case of ruleutils.c, this merely results in cosmetic changes in EXPLAIN output, since the case can't currently arise in stored rules. However, it represents a live bug for deparse.c, which would formerly have sent a remote query that had semantics different from the local behavior. (From the user's standpoint, this means that testing a remote nested-composite column for null-ness could have had unexpected recursive behavior much like that fixed in 4452000f3.) In a related but somewhat independent fix, make plancat.c set argisrow to false in all NullTest expressions constructed to represent "attnotnull" constructs. Since attnotnull is actually enforced as a simple null-value check, this is a more accurate representation of the semantics; we were previously overpromising what it meant for composite columns, which might possibly lead to incorrect planner optimizations. (It seems that what the SQL spec expects a NOT NULL constraint to mean is an IS NOT NULL test, so arguably we are violating the spec and should fix attnotnull to do the other thing. If we ever do, this part should get reverted.) Back-patch, same as the previous commit. Discussion: <10682.1469566308@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* postgres_fdw: Avoid possible misbehavior when RETURNING tableoid column only.Robert Haas2016-02-04
| | | | | | | | deparseReturningList ended up adding up RETURNING NULL to the code, but code elsewhere saw an empty list of attributes and concluded that it should not expect tuples from the remote side. Etsuro Fujita and Robert Haas, reviewed by Thom Brown
* Improve handling of collations in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2015-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have a local Var of say varchar type with default collation, and we apply a RelabelType to convert that to text with default collation, we don't want to consider that as creating an FDW_COLLATE_UNSAFE situation. It should be okay to compare that to a remote Var, so long as the remote Var determines the comparison collation. (When we actually ship such an expression to the remote side, the local Var would become a Param with default collation, meaning the remote Var would in fact control the comparison collation, because non-default implicit collation overrides default implicit collation in parse_collate.c.) To fix, be more precise about what FDW_COLLATE_NONE means: it applies either to a noncollatable data type or to a collatable type with default collation, if that collation can't be traced to a remote Var. (When it can, FDW_COLLATE_SAFE is appropriate.) We were essentially using that interpretation already at the Var/Const/Param level, but we weren't bubbling it up properly. An alternative fix would be to introduce a separate FDW_COLLATE_DEFAULT value to describe the second situation, but that would add more code without changing the actual behavior, so it didn't seem worthwhile. Also, since we're clarifying the rule to be that we care about whether operator/function input collations match, there seems no need to fail immediately upon seeing a Const/Param/non-foreign-Var with nondefault collation. We only have to reject if it appears in a collation-sensitive context (for example, "var IS NOT NULL" is perfectly safe from a collation standpoint, whatever collation the var has). So just set the state to UNSAFE rather than failing immediately. Per report from Jeevan Chalke. This essentially corrects some sloppy thinking in commit ed3ddf918b59545583a4b374566bc1148e75f593, so back-patch to 9.3 where that logic appeared.
* Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund2015-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table. Bumps catversion as stored rules change. Author: Peter Geoghegan, with significant contributions from Heikki Linnakangas and Andres Freund. Testing infrastructure by Jeff Janes.

* Fix mishandling of system columns in FDW queries.Tom Lane2014-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | postgres_fdw would send query conditions involving system columns to the remote server, even though it makes no effort to ensure that system columns other than CTID match what the remote side thinks. tableoid, in particular, probably won't match and might have some use in queries. Hence, prevent sending conditions that include non-CTID system columns. Also, create_foreignscan_plan neglected to check local restriction conditions while determining whether to set fsSystemCol for a foreign scan plan node. This again would bollix the results for queries that test a foreign table's tableoid. Back-patch the first fix to 9.3 where postgres_fdw was introduced. Back-patch the second to 9.2. The code is probably broken in 9.1 as well, but the patch doesn't apply cleanly there; given the weak state of support for FDWs in 9.1, it doesn't seem worth fixing.

* Implement IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA.Tom Lane2014-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This command provides an automated way to create foreign table definitions that match remote tables, thereby reducing tedium and chances for error. In this patch, we provide the necessary core-server infrastructure and implement the feature fully in the postgres_fdw foreign-data wrapper. Other wrappers will throw a "feature not supported" error until/unless they are updated. Ronan Dunklau and Michael Paquier, additional work by me
* Avoid recursion when processing simple lists of AND'ed or OR'ed clauses.Tom Lane2014-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since most of the system thinks AND and OR are N-argument expressions anyway, let's have the grammar generate a representation of that form when dealing with input like "x AND y AND z AND ...", rather than generating a deeply-nested binary tree that just has to be flattened later by the planner. This avoids stack overflow in parse analysis when dealing with queries having more than a few thousand such clauses; and in any case it removes some rather unsightly inconsistencies, since some parts of parse analysis were generating N-argument ANDs/ORs already. It's still possible to get a stack overflow with weirdly parenthesized input, such as "x AND (y AND (z AND ( ... )))", but such cases are not mainstream usage. The maximum depth of parenthesization is already limited by Bison's stack in such cases, anyway, so that the limit is probably fairly platform-independent. Patch originally by Gurjeet Singh, heavily revised by me

* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw's remote-estimate representation of array Params.Tom Lane2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | We were emitting "(SELECT null::typename)", which is usually interpreted as a scalar subselect, but not so much in the context "x = ANY(...)". This led to remote-side parsing failures when remote_estimate is enabled. A quick and ugly fix is to stick in an extra cast step, "((SELECT null::typename)::typename)". The cast will be thrown away as redundant by parse analysis, but not before it's done its job of making sure the grammar sees the ANY argument as an a_expr rather than a select_with_parens. Per an example from Hannu Krosing.
* Fix non-equivalence of VARIADIC and non-VARIADIC function call formats.Tom Lane2014-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For variadic functions (other than VARIADIC ANY), the syntaxes foo(x,y,...) and foo(VARIADIC ARRAY[x,y,...]) should be considered equivalent, since the former is converted to the latter at parse time. They have indeed been equivalent, in all releases before 9.3. However, commit 75b39e790 made an ill-considered decision to record which syntax had been used in FuncExpr nodes, and then to make equal() test that in checking node equality --- which caused the syntaxes to not be seen as equivalent by the planner. This is the underlying cause of bug #9817 from Dmitry Ryabov. It might seem that a quick fix would be to make equal() disregard FuncExpr.funcvariadic, but the same commit made that untenable, because the field actually *is* semantically significant for some VARIADIC ANY functions. This patch instead adopts the approach of redefining funcvariadic (and aggvariadic, in HEAD) as meaning that the last argument is a variadic array, whether it got that way by parser intervention or was supplied explicitly by the user. Therefore the value will always be true for non-ANY variadic functions, restoring the principle of equivalence. (However, the planner will continue to consider use of VARIADIC as a meaningful difference for VARIADIC ANY functions, even though some such functions might disregard it.) In HEAD, this change lets us simplify the decompilation logic in ruleutils.c, since the funcvariadic/aggvariadic flag tells directly whether to print VARIADIC. However, in 9.3 we have to continue to cope with existing stored rules/views that might contain the previous definition. Fortunately, this just means no change in ruleutils.c, since its existing behavior effectively ignores funcvariadic for all cases other than VARIADIC ANY functions. In HEAD, bump catversion to reflect the fact that FuncExpr.funcvariadic changed meanings; this is sort of pro forma, since I don't believe any built-in views are affected. Unfortunately, this patch doesn't magically fix everything for affected 9.3 users. After installing 9.3.5, they might need to recreate their rules/views/indexes containing variadic function calls in order to get everything consistent with the new definition. As in the cited bug, the symptom of a problem would be failure to use a nominally matching index that has a variadic function call in its definition. We'll need to mention this in the 9.3.5 release notes.
* Offer triggers on foreign tables.Noah Misch2014-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This covers all the SQL-standard trigger types supported for regular tables; it does not cover constraint triggers. The approach for acquiring the old row mirrors that for view INSTEAD OF triggers. For AFTER ROW triggers, we spool the foreign tuples to a tuplestore. This changes the FDW API contract; when deciding which columns to populate in the slot returned from data modification callbacks, writable FDWs will need to check for AFTER ROW triggers in addition to checking for a RETURNING clause. In support of the feature addition, refactor the TriggerFlags bits and the assembly of old tuples in ModifyTable. Ronan Dunklau, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei; some additional hacking by me.
* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw to handle multiple join conditions properly.Tom Lane2014-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding supposed that it could consider just a single join condition in any one parameterized path for the foreign table. But in reality, the parameterized-path machinery forces all join clauses that are "movable to" the foreign table to be evaluated at that node; including clauses that we might not consider safe to send across. Such cases would result in an Assert failure in an assert-enabled build, and otherwise in sending an unsafe clause to the foreign server, which might result in errors or silently-wrong answers. A lesser problem was that the cost/rowcount estimates generated for the parameterized path failed to account for any additional join quals that get assigned to the scan. To fix, rewrite postgresGetForeignPaths so that it correctly collects all the movable quals for any one outer relation when generating parameterized paths; we'll now generate just one path per outer relation not one per join qual. Also fix bogus assumptions in postgresGetForeignPlan and estimate_path_cost_size that only safe-to-send join quals will be presented. Based on complaint from Etsuro Fujita that the path costs were being miscalculated, though this is significantly different from his proposed patch.

* Avoid retrieving dummy NULL columns in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-03-22
| | | | | | | This should provide some marginal overall savings, since it surely takes many more cycles for the remote server to deal with the NULL columns than it takes for postgres_fdw not to emit them. But really the reason is to keep the emitted queries from looking quite so silly ...
* Redo postgres_fdw's planner code so it can handle parameterized paths.Tom Lane2013-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | I wasn't going to ship this without having at least some example of how to do that. This version isn't terribly bright; in particular it won't consider any combinations of multiple join clauses. Given the cost of executing a remote EXPLAIN, I'm not sure we want to be very aggressive about doing that, anyway. In support of this, refactor generate_implied_equalities_for_indexcol so that it can be used to extract equivalence clauses that aren't necessarily tied to an index.
* Introduce less-bogus handling of collations in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Treat expressions as being remotely executable only if all collations used in them are determined by Vars of the foreign table. This means that, if the foreign server gets different answers than we do, it's the user's fault for not having marked the foreign table columns with collations equivalent to the remote table's. This rule allows most simple expressions such as "var < 'constant'" to be sent to the remote side, because the constant isn't determining the collation (the Var's collation would win). There's still room for improvement, but it's hard to see how to do it without a lot more knowledge and/or assumptions about what the remote side will do.
* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw's handling of column defaults.Tom Lane2013-03-12
| | | | | | | | | Adopt the position that only locally-defined defaults matter. Any defaults defined in the remote database do not affect insertions performed through a foreign table (unless they are for columns not known to the foreign table). While it'd arguably be more useful to permit remote defaults to be used, making that work in a consistent fashion requires far more work than seems possible for 9.3.
* Fix postgres_fdw's issues with inconsistent interpretation of data values.Tom Lane2013-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For datatypes whose output formatting depends on one or more GUC settings, we have to worry about whether the other server will interpret the value the same way it was meant. pg_dump has been aware of this hazard for a long time, but postgres_fdw needs to deal with it too. To fix data retrieval from the remote server, set the necessary remote GUC settings at connection startup. (We were already assuming that settings made then would persist throughout the remote session.) To fix data transmission to the remote server, temporarily force the relevant GUCs to the right values when we're about to convert any data values to text for transmission. This is all pretty grotty, and not very cheap either. It's tempting to think of defining one uber-GUC that would override any settings that might render printed data values unportable. But of course, older remote servers wouldn't know any such thing and would still need this logic. While at it, revert commit f7951eef89be78c50ea2241f593d76dfefe176c9, since this provides a real fix. (The timestamptz given in the error message returned from the "remote" server will now reliably be shown in UTC.)
* Avoid generating bad remote SQL for INSERT ... DEFAULT VALUES.Tom Lane2013-03-11
| | | | "INSERT INTO foo() VALUES ()" is invalid syntax, so don't do that.
* Support writable foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic functionality there now. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov and Laurenz Albe, and rather heavily revised by Tom Lane.
* Fix some planning oversights in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Include eval costs of local conditions in remote-estimate mode, and don't assume the remote eval cost is zero in local-estimate mode. (The best we can do with that at the moment is to assume a seqscan, which may well be wildly pessimistic ... but zero won't do at all.) To get a reasonable local estimate, we need to know the relpages count for the remote rel, so improve the ANALYZE code to fetch that rather than just setting the foreign table's relpages field to zero.
* Fix whole-row references in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | The optimization to not retrieve unnecessary columns wasn't smart enough. Noted by Thom Brown.
* Change postgres_fdw to show casts as casts, not underlying function calls.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | On reflection this method seems to be exposing an unreasonable amount of implementation detail. It wouldn't matter when talking to a remote server of the identical Postgres version, but it seems likely to make things worse not better if the remote is a different version with different casting infrastructure. Instead adopt ruleutils.c's policy of regurgitating the cast as it was originally specified; including not showing it at all, if it was implicit to start with. (We must do that because for some datatypes explicit and implicit casts have different semantics.)
* Get rid of postgres_fdw's assumption that remote type OIDs match ours.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | The only place we depended on that was in sending numeric type OIDs in PQexecParams; but we can replace that usage with explicitly casting each Param symbol in the query string, so that the types are specified to the remote by name not OID. This makes no immediate difference but will be essential if we ever hope to support use of non-builtin types.
* Adjust postgres_fdw's search path handling.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Set the remote session's search path to exactly "pg_catalog" at session start, then schema-qualify only names that aren't in that schema. This greatly reduces clutter in the generated SQL commands, as seen in the regression test changes. Per discussion. Also, rethink use of FirstNormalObjectId as the "built-in object" cutoff --- FirstBootstrapObjectId is safer, since the former will accept objects in information_schema for instance.
* Add postgres_fdw contrib module.Tom Lane2013-02-21
There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works, and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the writable-foreign-tables patch. So let's commit it and get on with testing. Shigeru Hanada, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei and Tom Lane
