Indexes that are being created as a result of REINDEX, for instance, do not need to have their permissions checked; they were already checked when the index was created.

* Avoid pre-determining index names during CREATE TABLE LIKE parsing.Tom Lane2012-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, when trying to copy both indexes and comments, CREATE TABLE LIKE had to pre-assign names to indexes that had comments, because it made up an explicit CommentStmt command to apply the comment and so it had to know the name for the index. This creates bad interactions with other indexes, as shown in bug #6734 from Daniele Varrazzo: the preassignment logic couldn't take any other indexes into account so it could choose a conflicting name. To fix, add a field to IndexStmt that allows it to carry a comment to be assigned to the new index. (This isn't a user-exposed feature of CREATE INDEX, only an internal option.) Now we don't need preassignment of index names in any situation. I also took the opportunity to refactor DefineIndex to accept the IndexStmt as such, rather than passing all its fields individually in a mile-long parameter list. Back-patch to 9.2, but no further, because it seems too dangerous to change IndexStmt or DefineIndex's API in released branches. The bug exists back to 9.0 where CREATE TABLE LIKE grew the ability to copy comments, but given the lack of prior complaints we'll just let it go unfixed before 9.2.
* Remove misplaced sanity check from heap_create().Robert Haas2012-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Even when allow_system_table_mods is not set, we allow creation of any type of SQL object in pg_catalog, except for relations. And you can get relations into pg_catalog, too, by initially creating them in some other schema and then moving them with ALTER .. SET SCHEMA. So this restriction, which prevents relations (only) from being created in pg_catalog directly, is fairly pointless. If we need a safety mechanism for this, it should be placed further upstream, so that it affects all SQL objects uniformly, and picks up both CREATE and SET SCHEMA. For now, just rip it out, per discussion with Tom Lane.

* Refactor broken CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS support.Robert Haas2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per bug #5988, reported by Marko Tiikkaja, and further analyzed by Tom Lane, the previous coding was broken in several respects: even if the target table already existed, a subsequent CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS might try to add additional constraints or sequences-for-serial specified in the new CREATE TABLE statement. In passing, this also fixes a minor information leak: it's no longer possible to figure out whether a schema to which you don't have CREATE access contains a sequence named like "x_y_seq" by attempting to create a table in that schema called "x" with a serial column called "y". Some more refactoring of this code in the future might be warranted, but that will need to wait for a later major release.
* More collations cleanup, from trawling for missed collation assignments.Tom Lane2011-03-26

* Generalize concept of temporary relations to "relation persistence".Robert Haas2010-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit replaces pg_class.relistemp with pg_class.relpersistence; and also modifies the RangeVar node type to carry relpersistence rather than istemp. It also removes removes rd_istemp from RelationData and instead performs the correct computation based on relpersistence. For clarity, we add three new macros: RelationNeedsWAL(), RelationUsesLocalBuffers(), and RelationUsesTempNamespace(), so that we can clarify the purpose of each check that previous depended on rd_istemp. This is intended as infrastructure for the upcoming unlogged tables patch, as well as for future possible work on global temporary tables.

* Create a "relation mapping" infrastructure to support changing the relfilenodesTom Lane2010-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits: * The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs. * We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing shared catalogs. CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would only be visible in one database. Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed; shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared. This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap, parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid such failures during the regression tests.

* Adjust naming of indexes and their columns per recent discussion.Tom Lane2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index expression columns are now named after the FigureColname result for their expressions, rather than always being "pg_expression_N". Digits are appended to this name if needed to make the column name unique within the index. (That happens for regular columns too, thus fixing the old problem that CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo (f1, f1) fails. Before exclusion indexes there was no real reason to do such a thing, but now maybe there is.) Default names for indexes and associated constraints now include the column names of all their columns, not only the first one as in previous practice. (Of course, this will be truncated as needed to fit in NAMEDATALEN. Also, pkey indexes retain the historical behavior of not naming specific columns at all.) An example of the results: regression=# create table foo (f1 int, f2 text, regression(# exclude (f1 with =, lower(f2) with =)); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / EXCLUDE will create implicit index "foo_f1_lower_exclusion" for table "foo" CREATE TABLE regression=# \d foo_f1_lower_exclusion Index "public.foo_f1_lower_exclusion" Column | Type | Definition --------+---------+------------ f1 | integer | f1 lower | text | lower(f2) btree, for table "public.foo"
* Add exclusion constraints, which generalize the concept of uniqueness toTom Lane2009-12-07

* Create an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which allows users to adjustTom Lane2009-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects. Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects created in particular schemas too. A notable benefit is that users can override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE privilege traditionally granted by default for functions. Petr Jelinek
* Simplify the bootstrap (BKI) code by getting rid of a useless table of allTom Lane2009-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | the strings seen during the bootstrap run. There might have been some actual point to doing that, many years ago, but as far as I can see the only value now is to conserve a bit of memory. Even if we cared about wasting a megabyte or so during the initdb run, it'd be far more effective to arrange to release memory at the end of each BKI command, instead of intentionally hanging onto strings that might never be used again. Not maintaining the table probably makes it faster too; but the main point of this patch is to get rid of a couple hundred lines of unnecessary and rather crufty code.
* Extend the BKI infrastructure to allow system catalogs to be givenTom Lane2009-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | hand-assigned rowtype OIDs, even when they are not "bootstrapped" catalogs that have handmade type rows in pg_type.h. Give pg_database such an OID. Restore the availability of C macros for the rowtype OIDs of the bootstrapped catalogs. (These macros are now in the individual catalogs' .h files, though, not in pg_type.h.) This commit doesn't do anything especially useful by itself, but it's necessary infrastructure for reverting some ill-considered changes in relcache.c.
* Support deferrable uniqueness constraints.Tom Lane2009-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the time of insertion. This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts, but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments. Improving that case is a TODO item. Dean Rasheed

* Prevent memory leaks in our various bison parsers when an error occursTom Lane2008-09-02

* Add a bunch of new error location reports to parse-analysis error messages.Tom Lane2008-09-01
| | | | | There are still some weak spots around JOIN USING and relation alias lists, but most errors reported within backend/parser/ now have locations.
* Change the rules for inherited CHECK constraints to be essentially the sameTom Lane2008-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as those for inherited columns; that is, it's no longer allowed for a child table to not have a check constraint matching one that exists on a parent. This satisfies the principle of least surprise (rows selected from the parent will always appear to meet its check constraints) and eliminates some longstanding bogosity in pg_dump, which formerly had to guess about whether check constraints were really inherited or not. The implementation involves adding conislocal and coninhcount columns to pg_constraint (paralleling attislocal and attinhcount in pg_attribute) and refactoring various ALTER TABLE actions to be more like those for columns.

* Code review for LIKE ... INCLUDING INDEXES patch. Fix failure to propagateTom Lane2007-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed. Allow INCLUDING INDEXES indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful, but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty unorthogonal). Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt(). Undo some poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem to be better places for them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | module and teach PREPARE and protocol-level prepared statements to use it. In service of this, rearrange utility-statement processing so that parse analysis does not assume table schemas can't change before execution for utility statements (necessary because we don't attempt to re-acquire locks for utility statements when reusing a stored plan). This requires some refactoring of the ProcessUtility API, but it ends up cleaner anyway, for instance we can get rid of the QueryContext global. Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to try to make SQL functions use it too. Also, there are at least some aspects of system state that we want to ensure remain the same during a replan as in the original processing; search_path certainly ought to behave that way for instance, and perhaps there are others.

* Support ORDER BY ... NULLS FIRST/LAST, and add ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LASTTom Lane2007-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | per-column options for btree indexes. The planner's support for this is still pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with nondefault ordering options. The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too. I'll work on improving that stuff later. Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some btree opclass. This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.

* Change the bootstrap sequence so that toast tables for system catalogs areTom Lane2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | created in the bootstrap phase proper, rather than added after-the-fact by initdb. This is cleaner than before because it allows us to retire the undocumented ALTER TABLE ... CREATE TOAST TABLE command, but the real reason I'm doing it is so that toast tables of shared catalogs will now have predetermined OIDs. This will allow a reasonably clean solution to the problem of locking tables before we load their relcache entries, to appear in a forthcoming patch.

Put the reloptions support code in a less random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c). Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last. Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync with code. Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

* Clean up the rather historically encumbered interface to now() andTom Lane2005-06-29
| | | | | | | | current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t and microseconds fields. This is what all the callers really want anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime, which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.
* First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane2005-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes; but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a good place to commit. Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be 'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.

* Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.Tom Lane2004-06-18

* Adjust our timezone library to use pg_time_t (typedef'd as int64) inTom Lane2004-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | place of time_t, as per prior discussion. The behavior does not change on machines without a 64-bit-int type, but on machines with one, which is most, we are rid of the bizarre boundary behavior at the edges of the 32-bit-time_t range (1901 and 2038). The system will now treat times over the full supported timestamp range as being in your local time zone. It may seem a little bizarre to consider that times in 4000 BC are PST or EST, but this is surely at least as reasonable as propagating Gregorian calendar rules back that far. I did not modify the format of the zic timezone database files, which means that for the moment the system will not know about daylight-savings periods outside the range 1901-2038. Given the way the files are set up, it's not a simple decision like 'widen to 64 bits'; we have to actually think about the range of years that need to be supported. We should probably inquire what the plans of the upstream zic people are before making any decisions of our own.
