* Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch2020-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY. Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain dropped relations until end of transaction. Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since this introduces XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN. Future servers accept older WAL, so this bump is discretionary.

That way several duplicate ways of checking what type a particular process is can be simplified. Since it's no longer just for stats, move to miscinit.c and rename existing functions to match the expanded purpose.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The init_ps_display() arguments were mostly lies by now, so to match typical usage, just use one argument and let the caller assemble it from multiple sources if necessary. The only user of the additional arguments is BackendInitialize(), which was already doing string assembly on the caller side anyway. Remove the second argument of set_ps_display() ("force") and just handle that in init_ps_display() internally. BackendInitialize() also used to set the initial status as "authentication", but that was very far from where authentication actually happened. So now it's set to "initializing" and then "authentication" just before the actual call to ClientAuthentication().

* Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.Tom Lane2020-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants, in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never too late to make it better though, so let's do that. The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch. But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability, so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation. I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers over time. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16457.1583189537@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style.Andres Freund2019-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve. By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to resolve when they still occur.

* In bootstrap mode, use default signal handling for SIGINT etc.Tom Lane2019-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the code pointed the standard process-termination signals to postgres.c's die(). That would typically result in an attempt to execute a transaction abort, which is not possible in bootstrap mode, leading to PANIC. This choice seems to be a leftover from an old code structure in which the same signal-assignment code was used for many sorts of auxiliary processes, including interactive standalone backends. It's not very sensible for bootstrap mode, which has no interest in either interactivity or continuing after an error. We can get better behavior with less effort by just letting normal process termination happen, after which the parent initdb process will clean up. This is basically cosmetic in any case, since initdb will react the same way whether bootstrap dies on a signal or abort(). Given the lack of previous complaints, I don't feel a need to back-patch, even though the behavior is old. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3850b11a.5121.16aaf827e4a.Coremail.thunder1@126.com
* Fix tablespace inheritance for partitioned relsAlvaro Herrera2019-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ca4103025dfe left a few loose ends. The most important one (broken pg_dump output) is already fixed by virtue of commit 3b23552ad8bb, but some things remained: * When ALTER TABLE rewrites tables, the indexes must remain in the tablespace they were originally in. This didn't work because index recreation during ALTER TABLE runs manufactured SQL (yuck), which runs afoul of default_tablespace in competition with the parent relation tablespace. To fix, reset default_tablespace to the empty string temporarily, and add the TABLESPACE clause as appropriate. * Setting a partitioned rel's tablespace to the database default is confusing; if it worked, it would direct the partitions to that tablespace regardless of default_tablespace. But in reality it does not work, and making it work is a larger project. Therefore, throw an error when this condition is detected, to alert the unwary. Add some docs and tests, too.

* tableam: Add and use scan APIs.Andres Freund2019-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several new abstractions are needed. Specifically: 1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from HeapScanDesc. The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been replaced with a table_ version. There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's table_scan_getnextslot(). But note that heap_getnext() lives on, it's still used widely to access catalog tables. This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan, scan_getnextslot callbacks. 2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize} callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs. As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented, block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate, intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc. 3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap). The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin, reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to retrieve an indexed tuple. Note that index_fetch_tuple implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if appropriate. Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext calls and working directly with HeapTuples). Index scans now store the result of a search in IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner. To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further callbacks have been introduced: a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign tables, etc. While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit also would have been needed to be adapted for table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile. b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a slot (which in heap's case internally has that information). Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed: I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with slots. The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

* tableam: introduce table AM infrastructure.Andres Freund2019-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces the concept of table access methods, i.e. CREATE ACCESS METHOD ... TYPE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... USING (storage-engine). No table access functionality is delegated to table AMs as of this commit, that'll be done in following commits. Subsequent commits will incrementally abstract table access functionality to be routed through table access methods. That change is too large to be reviewed & committed at once, so it'll be done incrementally. Docs will be updated at the end, as adding them incrementally would likely make them less coherent, and definitely is a lot more work, without a lot of benefit. Table access methods are specified similar to index access methods, i.e. pg_am.amhandler returns, as INTERNAL, a pointer to a struct with callbacks. In contrast to index AMs that struct needs to live as long as a backend, typically that's achieved by just returning a pointer to a constant struct. Psql's \d+ now displays a table's access method. That can be disabled with HIDE_TABLEAM=true, which is mainly useful so regression tests can be run against different AMs. It's quite possible that this behaviour still needs to be fine tuned. For now it's not allowed to set a table AM for a partitioned table, as we've not resolved how partitions would inherit that. Disallowing allows us to introduce, if we decide that's the way forward, such a behaviour without a compatibility break. Catversion bumped, to add the heap table AM and references to it.

There's still a few header includes of genam.h, but not from central headers anymore. As a few headers are not indirectly included anymore, execnodes.h and relscan.h need a few additional includes. Some of the depended on types were replacable by using the underlying structs, but e.g. for Snapshot in execnodes.h that'd have gotten more invasive than reasonable in this commit. Like the aforementioned commit 4c850ecec649c, this requires adding new genam.h includes to a number of backend files, which likely is also required in a few external projects.

* Don't include heapam.h from others headers.Andres Freund2019-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

* Make type "name" collation-aware.Tom Lane2018-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "name" comparison operators now all support collations, making them functionally equivalent to "text" comparisons, except for the different physical representation of the datatype. They do, in fact, mostly share the varstr_cmp and varstr_sortsupport infrastructure, which has been slightly enlarged to handle the case. To avoid changes in the default behavior of the datatype, set name's typcollation to C_COLLATION_OID not DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID, so that by default comparisons to a name value will continue to use strcmp semantics. (This would have been the case for system catalog columns anyway, because of commit 6b0faf723, but doing this makes it true for user-created name columns as well. In particular, this avoids locale-dependent changes in our regression test results.) In consequence, tweak a couple of places that made assumptions about collatable base types always having typcollation DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID. I have not, however, attempted to relax the restriction that user- defined collatable types must have that. Hence, "name" doesn't behave quite like a user-defined type; it acts more like a domain with COLLATE "C". (Conceivably, if we ever get rid of the need for catalog name columns to be fixed-length, "name" could actually become such a domain over text. But that'd be a pretty massive undertaking, and I'm not volunteering.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15938.1544377821@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Make collation-aware system catalog columns use "C" collation.Tom Lane2018-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now we allowed text columns in system catalogs to use collation "default", but that isn't really safe because it might mean something different in template0 than it means in a database cloned from template0. In particular, this could mean that cloned pg_statistic entries for such columns weren't entirely valid, possibly leading to bogus planner estimates, though (probably) not any outright failures. In the wake of commit 5e0928005, a better solution is available: if we label such columns with "C" collation, then their pg_statistic entries will also use that collation and hence will be valid independently of the database collation. This also provides a cleaner solution for indexes on such columns than the hack added by commit 0b28ea79c: the indexes will naturally inherit "C" collation and don't have to be forced to use text_pattern_ops. Also, with the planned improvement of type "name" to be collation-aware, this policy will apply cleanly to both text and name columns. Because of the pg_statistic angle, we should also apply this policy to the tables in information_schema. This patch does that by adjusting information_schema's textual domain types to specify "C" collation. That has the user-visible effect that order-sensitive comparisons to textual information_schema view columns will now use "C" collation by default. The SQL standard says that the collation of those view columns is implementation-defined, so I think this is legal per spec. At some point this might allow for translation of such comparisons into indexable conditions on the underlying "name" columns, although additional work will be needed before that can happen.

* Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund2018-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

* Install a check for mis-linking of src/port and src/common functions.Tom Lane2018-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ELF-based platforms (and maybe others?) it's possible for a shared library, when dynamically loaded into the backend, to call the backend versions of src/port and src/common functions rather than the frontend versions that are actually linked into the shlib. This is definitely not what we want, because the frontend versions often behave slightly differently. Up to now it's been "slight" enough that nobody noticed; but with the addition of SCRAM support functions in src/common, we're observing crashes due to the difference between palloc and malloc memory allocation rules, as reported in bug #15367 from Jeremy Evans. The purpose of this patch is to create a direct test for this type of mis-linking, so that we know whether any given platform requires extra measures to prevent using the wrong functions. If the test fails, it will lead to connection failures in the contrib/postgres_fdw regression test. At the moment, *BSD platforms using ELF format are known to have the problem and can be expected to fail; but we need to know whether anything else does, and we need a reliable ongoing check for future platforms. Actually fixing the problem will be the subject of later commit(s). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/153626613985.23143.4743626885618266803@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Use a ResourceOwner to track buffer pins in all cases.Tom Lane2018-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, we've allowed auxiliary processes to take buffer pins without tracking them in a ResourceOwner. However, that creates problems for error recovery. In particular, we've seen multiple reports of assertion crashes in the startup process when it gets an error while holding a buffer pin, as for example if it gets ENOSPC during a write. In a non-assert build, the process would simply exit without releasing the pin at all. We've gotten away with that so far just because a failure exit of the startup process translates to a database crash anyhow; but any similar behavior in other aux processes could result in stuck pins and subsequent problems in vacuum. To improve this, institute a policy that we must *always* have a resowner backing any attempt to pin a buffer, which we can enforce just by removing the previous special-case code in resowner.c. Add infrastructure to make it easy to create a process-lifespan AuxProcessResourceOwner and clear out its contents at appropriate times. Replace existing ad-hoc resowner management in bgwriter.c and other aux processes with that. (Thus, while the startup process gains a resowner where it had none at all before, some other aux process types are replacing an ad-hoc resowner with this code.) Also use the AuxProcessResourceOwner to manage buffer pins taken during StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG, even when those are being run in a bootstrap process or a standalone backend rather than a true auxiliary process. In passing, remove some other ad-hoc resource owner creations that had gotten cargo-culted into various other places. As far as I can tell that was all unnecessary, and if it had been necessary it was incomplete, due to lacking any provision for clearing those resowners later. (Also worth noting in this connection is that a process that hasn't called InitBufferPoolBackend has no business accessing buffers; so there's more to do than just add the resowner if we want to touch buffers in processes not covered by this patch.) Although this fixes a very old bug, no back-patch, because there's no evidence of any significant problem in non-assert builds. Patch by me, pursuant to a report from Justin Pryzby.

* Fix bootstrap parser so that its keywords are unreserved words.Tom Lane2018-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mark Dilger pointed out that the bootstrap parser does not allow any of its keywords to appear as column values unless they're quoted, and proposed dealing with that by quoting such values in genbki.pl. Looking closer, though, we also have that problem with respect to table, column, and type names appearing in the .bki file: the parser would fail if any of those matched any of its keywords. While so far there have been no conflicts (that I've heard of), this seems like a booby trap waiting to catch somebody. Rather than clutter genbki.pl with enough quoting logic to handle all that, let's make the bootstrap parser grow up a little bit and treat its keywords as unreserved. Experimentation shows that it's fairly easy to do so with the exception of _null_, which I don't have a big problem with keeping as a reserved word. The only change needed is that we can't have the "close" command take an optional table name: it has to either require or forbid the table name to avoid shift/reduce conflicts. genbki.pl has historically always included the table name, so I took that option. The implementation has bootscanner.l passing forward the string value of each keyword, in case bootparse.y needs that. This avoids needing to know the precise spelling of each keyword in bootparse.y, which is good because that's not always obvious from the token name.

* Rationalize handling of array type names in bootstrap data.Tom Lane2018-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, Catalog.pm turned a C array type declaration in the catalog header files into a SQL type, e.g., 'foo[]'. Along the way, genbki.pl turned this into '_foo' for the purpose of type lookups, but wrote 'foo[]' to postgres.bki. During bootstrap, bootscanner.l had to have a special case rule to tokenize this, and then MapArrayTypeName() would turn 'foo[]' into '_foo' one more time. This seems unnecessarily complicated, especially since nobody cares that much about the readability of postgres.bki. Instead, make Catalog.pm convert the C declaration into '_foo' to start with, and preserve that representation of the type name throughout bootstrap data processing. Then rip out the special-case code in bootscanner.l and bootstrap.c. This changes postgres.bki to the extent that array fields are now declared like proconfig = _text , rather than proconfig = text[] , No documentation update, since the SGML docs didn't mention any of this in the first place, and it's all pretty transparent to writers of catalog header files anyway.

* Simplify genbki.pl's data quoting rules.Tom Lane2018-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the bootstrap data format conversion, it seemed important for verifiability's sake that the generated postgres.bki file stayed the same as before. That resulted in adding a bunch of ad-hoc rules about when to quote emitted data values, to match previous manual decisions that had often quoted values unnecessarily. Now that the conversion is complete, it seems fine to remove all those ad-hoc rules. The net actual effect on the current contents of postgres.bki is that some fields that had been quoted despite containing only digits or only "-" lose their unnecessary quotes. Also, now that genbki.pl will always quote values containing a backslash, there's no need for bootscanner.l to allow unquoted octal escapes; so simplify its production for "id" by removing that possibility.

* Allow group access on PGDATAStephen Frost2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the cluster to be optionally init'd with read access for the group. This means a relatively non-privileged user can perform a backup of the cluster without requiring write privileges, which enhances security. The mode of PGDATA is used to determine whether group permissions are enabled for directory and file creates. This method was chosen as it's simple and works well for the various utilities that write into PGDATA. Changing the mode of PGDATA manually will not automatically change the mode of all the files contained therein. If the user would like to enable group access on an existing cluster then changing the mode of all the existing files will be required. Note that pg_upgrade will automatically change the mode of all migrated files if the new cluster is init'd with the -g option. Tests are included for the backend and all the utilities which operate on the PG data directory to ensure that the correct mode is set based on the data directory permissions.

* Indexes with INCLUDE columns and their support in B-treeTeodor Sigaev2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans. Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause. In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples (tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation. The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special handling of B-tree indexes for that.

* Handle heap rewrites even better in logical decodingPeter Eisentraut2018-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as part of a heap rewrite during DDL. Those tables don't exist externally, so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that information. In ab28feae2bd3d4629bd73ae3548e671c57d785f0, we worked around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack. This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID. By default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the output plugin. Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the new field will help them get information about the actual table.

* Allow UNIQUE indexes on partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera2018-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each index individually is enough to have it enforced globally. Therefore we can implement unique indexes on partitions by simply removing a few restrictions (and adding others.)

* Local partitioned indexesAlvaro Herrera2018-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions also. As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it, and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first. To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table> (which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without recursing) and ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION (which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior database state exactly.

* Make WAL segment size configurable at initdb time.Andres Freund2017-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For performance reasons a larger segment size than the default 16MB can be useful. A larger segment size has two main benefits: Firstly, in setups using archiving, it makes it easier to write scripts that can keep up with higher amounts of WAL, secondly, the WAL has to be written and synced to disk less frequently. But at the same time large segment size are disadvantageous for smaller databases. So far the segment size had to be configured at compile time, often making it unrealistic to choose one fitting to a particularly load. Therefore change it to a initdb time setting. This includes a breaking changes to the xlogreader.h API, which now requires the current segment size to be configured. For that and similar reasons a number of binaries had to be taught how to recognize the current segment size.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.
