* Add error handling for failing fstat() calls in copy.c.Andres Freund2015-01-04
| | | | | | | | | These calls are pretty much guaranteed not to fail unless something has gone horribly wrong, and even in that case we'd just error out a short time later. But since several code checkers complain about the missing check it seems worthwile to fix it nonetheless. Pointed out by Coverity.
* Rename pg_rowsecurity -> pg_policy and other fixesStephen Frost2014-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As pointed out by Robert, we should really have named pg_rowsecurity pg_policy, as the objects stored in that catalog are policies. This patch fixes that and updates the column names to start with 'pol' to match the new catalog name. The security consideration for COPY with row level security, also pointed out by Robert, has also been addressed by remembering and re-checking the OID of the relation initially referenced during COPY processing, to make sure it hasn't changed under us by the time we finish planning out the query which has been built. Robert and Alvaro also commented on missing OCLASS and OBJECT entries for POLICY (formerly ROWSECURITY or POLICY, depending) in various places. This patch fixes that too, which also happens to add the ability to COMMENT on policies. In passing, attempt to improve the consistency of messages, comments, and documentation as well. This removes various incarnations of 'row-security', 'row-level security', 'Row-security', etc, in favor of 'policy', 'row level security' or 'row_security' as appropriate. Happy Thanksgiving!
* Move the backup-block logic from XLogInsert to a new file, xloginsert.c.Heikki Linnakangas2014-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | xlog.c is huge, this makes it a little bit smaller, which is nice. Functions related to putting together the WAL record are in xloginsert.c, and the lower level stuff for managing WAL buffers and such are in xlog.c. Also move the definition of XLogRecord to a separate header file. This causes churn in the #includes of all the files that write WAL records, and redo routines, but it avoids pulling in xlog.h into most places.

* Row-Level Security Policies (RLS)Stephen Frost2014-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added to a table. Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions defined to check records being added to a table are added to the with-check options of the query. New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are controlled by the table owner. Row Security is able to be enabled and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY. Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and must be enabled for policies on the table to be used. If no policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny policy is used and no records will be visible. By default, row security is applied at all times except for the table owner and the superuser. A new GUC, row_security, is added which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE. When set to FORCE, row security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers. When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row security. Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security. A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled. A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row security using row_security = OFF. Many thanks to the various individuals who have helped with the design, particularly Robert Haas for his feedback. Authors include Craig Ringer, KaiGai Kohei, Adam Brightwell, Dean Rasheed, with additional changes and rework by me. Reviewers have included all of the above, Greg Smith, Jeff McCormick, and Robert Haas.
* pgindent run for 9.4Bruce Momjian2014-05-06
| | | | | This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.
* Provide a FORCE NULL option to COPY in CSV mode.Andrew Dunstan2014-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | This forces an input field containing the quoted null string to be returned as a NULL. Without this option, only unquoted null strings behave this way. This helps where some CSV producers insist on quoting every field, whether or not it is needed. The option takes a list of fields, and only applies to those columns. There is an equivalent column-level option added to file_fdw. Ian Barwick, with some tweaking by Andrew Dunstan, reviewed by Payal Singh.
* Speed up COPY into tables with DEFAULT nextval()Simon Riggs2014-01-20
| | | | | | | | Previously the presence of a nextval() prevented the use of batch-mode COPY. This patch introduces a special case just for nextval() functions. In future we will introduce a general case solution for labelling volatile functions as safe for use.
* Update copyright for 2014Bruce Momjian2014-01-07
| | | | | Update all files in head, and files COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml in all back branches.

* Fix subtly-wrong volatility checking in BeginCopyFrom().Tom Lane2013-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | contain_volatile_functions() is best applied to the output of expression_planner(), not its input, so that insertion of function default arguments and constant-folding have been done. (See comments at CheckMutability, for instance.) It's perhaps unlikely that anyone will notice a difference in practice, but still we should do it properly. In passing, change variable type from Node* to Expr* to reduce the net number of casts needed. Noted while perusing uses of contain_volatile_functions().
* Don't allow system columns in CHECK constraints, except tableoid.Robert Haas2013-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, arbitray system columns could be mentioned in table constraints, but they were not correctly checked at runtime, because the values weren't actually set correctly in the tuple. Since it seems easy enough to initialize the table OID properly, do that, and continue allowing that column, but disallow the rest unless and until someone figures out a way to make them work properly. No back-patch, because this doesn't seem important enough to take the risk of destabilizing the back branches. In fact, this will pose a dump-and-reload hazard for those upgrading from previous versions: constraints that were accepted before but were not correctly enforced will now either be enforced correctly or not accepted at all. Either could result in restore failures, but in practice I think very few users will notice the difference, since the use case is pretty marginal anyway and few users will be relying on features that have not historically worked.

* pgindent run for release 9.3Bruce Momjian2013-05-29
| | | | | This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script. Also update pgindent instructions.
* Print line number correctly in COPY.Heikki Linnakangas2013-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | When COPY uses the multi-insert method to insert a batch of tuples into the heap at a time, incorrect line number was printed if something went wrong in inserting the index tuples (primary key failure, for exampl), or processing after row triggers. Fixes bug #8173 reported by Lloyd Albin. Backpatch to 9.2, where the multi- insert code was added.
* 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.
* Add a materialized view relations.Kevin Grittner2013-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to populate the table, references in queries refer to the materialized data. This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of references to underlying tables, but that requires the other above-mentioned features to be working first. Much of the documentation work by Robert Haas. Review by Noah Misch, Thom Brown, Robert Haas, Marko Tiikkaja Security review by KaiGai Kohei, with a decision on how best to implement sepgsql still pending.
* Add support for piping COPY to/from an external program.Heikki Linnakangas2013-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This includes backend "COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM '...'" syntax, and corresponding psql \copy syntax. Like with reading/writing files, the backend version is superuser-only, and in the psql version, the program is run in the client. In the passing, the psql \copy STDIN/STDOUT syntax is subtly changed: if you the stdin/stdout is quoted, it's now interpreted as a filename. For example, "\copy foo from 'stdin'" now reads from a file called 'stdin', not from standard input. Before this, there was no way to specify a filename called stdin, stdout, pstdin or pstdout. This creates a new function in pgport, wait_result_to_str(), which can be used to convert the exit status of a process, as returned by wait(3), to a human-readable string.

* Adjust COPY FREEZE error message to be more accurate and consistent.Bruce Momjian2013-02-02
| | | | Per suggestions from Noah and Tom.
* Issue ERROR if FREEZE mode can't be honored by COPYBruce Momjian2013-01-26
| | | | | | Previously non-honored FREEZE mode was ignored. This also issues an appropriate error message based on the cause of the failure, per suggestion from Tom. Additional regression test case added.
* Update copyrights for 2013Bruce Momjian2013-01-01

* Adjust more backend functions to return OID rather than void.Robert Haas2012-12-29
| | | | | | | | | This is again intended to support extensions to the event trigger functionality. This may go a bit further than we need for that purpose, but there's some value in being consistent, and the OID may be useful for other purposes also. Dimitri Fontaine
* Update comments on rd_newRelfilenodeSubid.Simon Riggs2012-12-24
| | | | | | | | Ensure comments accurately reflect state of code given new understanding, and recent changes. Include example code from Noah Misch to illustrate how rd_newRelfilenodeSubid can be reset deterministically. No code changes.
* Fix failure to ignore leftover temp tables after a server crash.Tom Lane2012-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During crash recovery, we remove disk files belonging to temporary tables, but the system catalog entries for such tables are intentionally not cleaned up right away. Instead, the first backend that uses a temp schema is expected to clean out any leftover objects therein. This approach requires that we be careful to ignore leftover temp tables (since any actual access attempt would fail), *even if their BackendId matches our session*, if we have not yet established use of the session's corresponding temp schema. That worked fine in the past, but was broken by commit debcec7dc31a992703911a9953e299c8d730c778 which incorrectly removed the rd_islocaltemp relcache flag. Put it back, and undo various changes that substituted tests like "rel->rd_backend == MyBackendId" for use of a state-aware flag. Per trouble report from Heikki Linnakangas. Back-patch to 9.1 where the erroneous change was made. In the back branches, be careful to add rd_islocaltemp in a spot in the struct that was alignment padding before, so as not to break existing add-on code.
* Optimize COPY FREEZE with CREATE TABLE also.Simon Riggs2012-12-07
| | | | Jeff Davis, additional test by me
* Clarify that COPY FREEZE is not a hard rule.Simon Riggs2012-12-07
| | | | | Remove message when FREEZE not honoured, clarify reasons in comments and docs.
* Reduce scope of changes for COPY FREEZE.Simon Riggs2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | Allow support only for freezing tuples by explicit command. Previous coding mistakenly extended slightly beyond what was agreed as correct on -hackers. So essentially a partial revoke of earlier work, leaving just the COPY FREEZE command.
* COPY FREEZE and mark committed on fresh tables.Simon Riggs2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a relfilenode is created in this subtransaction or a committed child transaction and it cannot otherwise be seen by our own process, mark tuples committed ahead of transaction commit for all COPY commands in same transaction. If FREEZE specified on COPY and pre-conditions met then rows will also be frozen. Both options designed to avoid revisiting rows after commit, increasing performance of subsequent commands after data load and upgrade. pg_restore changes later.

* Use correct text domain for translating errcontext() messages.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | errcontext() is typically used in an error context callback function, not within an ereport() invocation like e.g errmsg and errdetail are. That means that the message domain that the TEXTDOMAIN magic in ereport() determines is not the right one for the errcontext() calls. The message domain needs to be determined by the C file containing the errcontext() call, not the file containing the ereport() call. Fix by turning errcontext() into a macro that passes the TEXTDOMAIN to use for the errcontext message. "errcontext" was used in a few places as a variable or struct field name, I had to rename those out of the way, now that errcontext is a macro. We've had this problem all along, but this isn't doesn't seem worth backporting. It's a fairly minor issue, and turning errcontext from a function to a macro requires at least a recompile of any external code that calls errcontext().
* Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.
* Skip text->binary conversion of unnecessary columns in contrib/file_fdw.Tom Lane2012-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | When reading from a text- or CSV-format file in file_fdw, the datatype input routines can consume a significant fraction of the runtime. Often, the query does not need all the columns, so we can get a useful speed boost by skipping I/O conversion for unnecessary columns. To support this, add a "convert_selectively" option to the core COPY code. This is undocumented and not accessible from SQL (for now, anyway). Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei

* Make "unexpected EOF" messages DEBUG1 unless in an open transactionMagnus Hagander2012-05-07
| | | | | | | "Unexpected EOF on client connection" without an open transaction is mostly noise, so turn it into DEBUG1. With an open transaction it's still indicating a problem, so keep those as ERROR, and change the message to indicate that it happened in a transaction.

* Fix COPY FROM for null marker strings that correspond to invalid encoding.Tom Lane2012-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The COPY documentation says "COPY FROM matches the input against the null string before removing backslashes". It is therefore reasonable to presume that null markers like E'\\0' will work ... and they did, until someone put the tests in the wrong order during microoptimization-driven rewrites. Since then, we've been failing if the null marker is something that would de-escape to an invalidly-encoded string. Since null markers generally need to be something that can't appear in the data, this represents a nontrivial loss of functionality; surprising nobody noticed it earlier. Per report from Jeff Davis. Backpatch to 8.4 where this got broken.
* Restructure SELECT INTO's parsetree representation into CreateTableAsStmt.Tom Lane2012-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Making this operation look like a utility statement seems generally a good idea, and particularly so in light of the desire to provide command triggers for utility statements. The original choice of representing it as SELECT with an IntoClause appendage had metastasized into rather a lot of places, unfortunately, so that this patch is a great deal more complicated than one might at first expect. In particular, keeping EXPLAIN working for SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS subcommands required restructuring some EXPLAIN-related APIs. Add-on code that calls ExplainOnePlan or ExplainOneUtility, or uses ExplainOneQuery_hook, will need adjustment. Also, the cases PREPARE ... SELECT INTO and CREATE RULE ... SELECT INTO, which formerly were accepted though undocumented, are no longer accepted. The PREPARE case can be replaced with use of CREATE TABLE AS EXECUTE. The CREATE RULE case doesn't seem to have much real-world use (since the rule would work only once before failing with "table already exists"), so we'll not bother with that one. Both SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS still return a command tag of "SELECT nnnn". There was some discussion of returning "CREATE TABLE nnnn", but for the moment backwards compatibility wins the day.

* COPY: Add an assertionPeter Eisentraut2012-03-14
| | | | | | This is for tools such as Coverity that don't know that the grammar enforces that the case of not having a relation (but instead a query) cannot happen in the FROM case.

* Fix compiler warning.Robert Haas2011-11-09

* In COPY, insert tuples to the heap in batches.Heikki Linnakangas2011-11-09
| | | | | | | This greatly reduces the WAL volume, especially when the table is narrow. The overhead of locking the heap page is also reduced. Reduced WAL traffic also makes it scale a lot better, if you run multiple COPY processes at the same time.
* Suppress -Wunused-result warnings about write() and fwrite().Tom Lane2011-10-18
| | | | | | | This is merely an exercise in satisfying pedants, not a bug fix, because in every case we were checking for failure later with ferror(), or else there was nothing useful to be done about a failure anyway. Document the latter cases.
* Remove many -Wcast-qual warningsPeter Eisentraut2011-09-11
| | | | | | This addresses only those cases that are easy to fix by adding or moving a const qualifier or removing an unnecessary cast. There are many more complicated cases remaining.
* Move Trigger and TriggerDesc structs out of rel.h into a new reltrigger.hAlvaro Herrera2011-07-04
| | | | | This lets us stop including rel.h into execnodes.h, which is a widely used header.

* Rearrange snapshot handling to make rule expansion more consistent.Tom Lane2011-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch, portals, SQL functions, and SPI all agree that there should be only a CommandCounterIncrement between the queries that are generated from a single SQL command by rule expansion. Fetching a whole new snapshot now happens only between original queries. This is equivalent to the existing behavior of EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and it was judged to be the best choice since it eliminates one source of concurrency hazards for rules. The patch should also make things marginally faster by reducing the number of snapshot push/pop operations. The patch removes pg_parse_and_rewrite(), which is no longer used anywhere. There was considerable discussion about more aggressive refactoring of the query-processing functions exported by postgres.c, but for the moment nothing more has been done there. I also took the opportunity to refactor snapmgr.c's API slightly: the former PushUpdatedSnapshot() has been split into two functions. Marko Tiikkaja, reviewed by Steve Singer and Tom Lane
* Refactor the executor's API to support data-modifying CTEs better.Tom Lane2011-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed. Those problems show it is really not practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd. Some Asserts have been added to these functions to help verify correct usage. It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively. If you really need to suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to ExecutorStart. Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code. I think this is not actually necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider committing. But it seems like good future-proofing.
* Add a relkind field to RangeTblEntry to avoid some syscache lookups.Tom Lane2011-02-22
| | | | | | | | | The recent additions for FDW support required checking foreign-table-ness in several places in the parse/plan chain. While it's not clear whether that would really result in a noticeable slowdown, it seems best to avoid any performance risk by keeping a copy of the relation's relkind in RangeTblEntry. That might have some other uses later, anyway. Per discussion.
* Fix dangling-pointer problem in before-row update trigger processing.Tom Lane2011-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecUpdate checked for whether ExecBRUpdateTriggers had returned a new tuple value by seeing if the returned tuple was pointer-equal to the old one. But the "old one" was in estate->es_junkFilter's result slot, which would be scribbled on if we had done an EvalPlanQual update in response to a concurrent update of the target tuple; therefore we were comparing a dangling pointer to a live one. Given the right set of circumstances we could get a false match, resulting in not forcing the tuple to be stored in the slot we thought it was stored in. In the case reported by Maxim Boguk in bug #5798, this led to "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple" failures when trying to do "RETURNING ctid". I believe there is a very-low-probability chance of more serious errors, such as generating incorrect index entries based on the original rather than the trigger-modified version of the row. In HEAD, change all of ExecBRInsertTriggers, ExecIRInsertTriggers, ExecBRUpdateTriggers, and ExecIRUpdateTriggers so that they continue to have similar APIs. In the back branches I just changed ExecBRUpdateTriggers, since there is no bug in the ExecBRInsertTriggers case.
* Add ENCODING option to COPY TO/FROM and file_fdw.Itagaki Takahiro2011-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | File encodings can be specified separately from client encoding. If not specified, client encoding is used for backward compatibility. Cases when the encoding doesn't match client encoding are slower than matched cases because we don't have conversion procs for other encodings. Performance improvement would be be a future work. Original patch by Hitoshi Harada, and modified by me.
* Add contrib/file_fdw foreign-data wrapper for reading files via COPY.Tom Lane2011-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | This is both very useful in its own right, and an important test case for the core FDW support. This commit includes a small refactoring of copy.c to expose its option checking code as a separately callable function. The original patch submission duplicated hundreds of lines of that code, which seemed pretty unmaintainable. Shigeru Hanada, reviewed by Itagaki Takahiro and Tom Lane
