* In extensions, don't replace objects not belonging to the extension.Tom Lane2022-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite the object and adopt it into the extension. This is problematic, first because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we didn't change the object's ownership. Thus a hostile user could create an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be modified for trojan-horse-type attacks. Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already belongs to the extension. (Note that we've always forbidden replacing an object that belongs to some other extension; only the behavior for previously-free-standing objects changes here.) For the same reason, also fail CREATE IF NOT EXISTS when there is an existing object that doesn't belong to the extension. Our thanks to Sven Klemm for reporting this problem. Security: CVE-2022-2625

* Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch2020-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). This introduces a new WAL record type, XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN, without bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. As always, update standby systems before master systems. This changes sizeof(RelationData) and sizeof(IndexStmt), breaking binary compatibility for affected extensions.

* tableam: Rename wrapper functions to match callback names.Andres Freund2019-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the wrapper functions didn't match the callback names. Many of them due to staying "consistent" with historic naming of the wrapped functionality. We decided that for most cases it's more important to be for tableam to be consistent going forward, than with the past. The one exception is beginscan/endscan/... because it'd have looked odd to have systable_beginscan/endscan/... with a different naming scheme, and changing the systable_* APIs would have caused way too much churn (including breaking a lot of external users).

* tableam: Add table_finish_bulk_insert().Andres Freund2019-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the previous calls of heap_sync() in places using bulk-insert. By passing in the flags used for bulk-insert the AM can decide (first at insert time and then during the finish call) which of the optimizations apply to it, and what operations are necessary to finish a bulk insert operation. Also change HEAP_INSERT_* flags to TABLE_INSERT, and rename hi_options to ti_options. These changes are made even in copy.c, which hasn't yet been converted to tableam. There's no harm in doing so.

* tableam: Use in CREATE TABLE AS and CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW.Andres Freund2019-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously those directly performed a heap_insert(). Use table_insert() instead. The input slot of those routines is not of the target relation - we could fix that by copying if necessary, but that'd not be beneficial for performance.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* Make TupleTableSlots extensible, finish split of existing slot type.Andres Freund2018-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit completes the work prepared in 1a0586de36, splitting the old TupleTableSlot implementation (which could store buffer, heap, minimal and virtual slots) into four different slot types. As described in the aforementioned commit, this is done with the goal of making tuple table slots extensible, to allow for pluggable table access methods. To achieve runtime extensibility for TupleTableSlots, operations on slots that can differ between types of slots are performed using the TupleTableSlotOps struct provided at slot creation time. That includes information from the size of TupleTableSlot struct to be allocated, initialization, deforming etc. See the struct's definition for more detailed information about callbacks TupleTableSlotOps. I decided to rename TTSOpsBufferTuple to TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple and ExecCopySlotTuple to ExecCopySlotHeapTuple, as that seems more consistent with other naming introduced in recent patches. There's plenty optimization potential in the slot implementation, but according to benchmarking the state after this commit has similar performance characteristics to before this set of changes, which seems sufficient. There's a few changes in execReplication.c that currently need to poke through the slot abstraction, that'll be repaired once the pluggable storage patchset provides the necessary infrastructure.

* Rejigger materializing and fetching a HeapTuple from a slot.Andres Freund2018-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously materializing a slot always returned a HeapTuple. As current work aims to reduce the reliance on HeapTuples (so other storage systems can work efficiently), that needs to change. Thus split the tasks of materializing a slot (i.e. making it independent from the underlying storage / other memory contexts) from fetching a HeapTuple from the slot. For brevity, allow to fetch a HeapTuple from a slot and materializing the slot at the same time, controlled by a parameter. For now some callers of ExecFetchSlotHeapTuple, with materialize = true, expect that changes to the heap tuple will be reflected in the underlying slot. Those places will be adapted in due course, so while not pretty, that's OK for now. Also rename ExecFetchSlotTuple to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum and ExecFetchSlotTupleDatum to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum, as it's likely that future storage methods will need similar methods. There already is ExecFetchSlotMinimalTuple, so the new names make the naming scheme more coherent.

* Create an RTE field to record the query's lock mode for each relation.Tom Lane2018-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add RangeTblEntry.rellockmode, which records the appropriate lock mode for each RTE_RELATION rangetable entry (either AccessShareLock, RowShareLock, or RowExclusiveLock depending on the RTE's role in the query). This patch creates the field and makes all creators of RTE nodes fill it in reasonably, but for the moment nothing much is done with it. The plan is to replace assorted post-parser logic that re-determines the right lockmode to use with simple uses of rte->rellockmode. For now, just add Asserts in each of those places that the rellockmode matches what they are computing today. (In some cases the match isn't perfect, so the Asserts are weaker than you might expect; but this seems OK, as per discussion.)

* 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.

* Improve castNode notation by introducing list-extraction-specific variants.Tom Lane2017-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way. As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching. Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.

* Add infrastructure to support EphemeralNamedRelation references.Kevin Grittner2017-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through execution. At this point, the only thing implemented is a collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the catalogs. The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but provision is made to add more types fairly easily. An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the catalogs by relid. Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code run through SPI. The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in AFTER triggers, but that will be added to each PL as a separate commit. An incidental effect of this patch is to produce a more informative error message if an attempt is made to modify the contents of a CTE from a referencing DML statement. No tests previously covered that possibility, so one is added.

* Allow for parallel execution whenever ExecutorRun() is done only once.Robert Haas2017-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, it was unsafe to execute a plan in parallel if ExecutorRun() might be called with a non-zero row count. However, it's quite easy to fix things up so that we can support that case, provided that it is known that we will never call ExecutorRun() a second time for the same QueryDesc. Add infrastructure to signal this, and cross-checks to make sure that a caller who claims this is true doesn't later reneg. While that pattern never happens with queries received directly from a client -- there's no way to know whether multiple Execute messages will be sent unless the first one requests all the rows -- it's pretty common for queries originating from procedural languages, which often limit the result to a single tuple or to a user-specified number of tuples. This commit doesn't actually enable parallelism in any additional cases, because currently none of the places that would be able to benefit from this infrastructure pass CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK in the first place, but it makes it much more palatable to pass CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK in places where we currently don't, because it eliminates some cases where we'd end up having to run the parallel plan serially.

* Change representation of statement lists, and add statement location info.Tom Lane2017-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes several changes that improve the consistency of representation of lists of statements. It's always been the case that the output of parse analysis is a list of Query nodes, whatever the types of the individual statements in the list. This patch brings similar consistency to the outputs of raw parsing and planning steps: * The output of raw parsing is now always a list of RawStmt nodes; the statement-type-dependent nodes are one level down from that. * The output of pg_plan_queries() is now always a list of PlannedStmt nodes, even for utility statements. In the case of a utility statement, "planning" just consists of wrapping a CMD_UTILITY PlannedStmt around the utility node. This list representation is now used in Portal and CachedPlan plan lists, replacing the former convention of intermixing PlannedStmts with bare utility-statement nodes. Now, every list of statements has a consistent head-node type depending on how far along it is in processing. This allows changing many places that formerly used generic "Node *" pointers to use a more specific pointer type, thus reducing the number of IsA() tests and casts needed, as well as improving code clarity. Also, the post-parse-analysis representation of DECLARE CURSOR is changed so that it looks more like EXPLAIN, PREPARE, etc. That is, the contained SELECT remains a child of the DeclareCursorStmt rather than getting flipped around to be the other way. It's now true for both Query and PlannedStmt that utilityStmt is non-null if and only if commandType is CMD_UTILITY. That allows simplifying a lot of places that were testing both fields. (I think some of those were just defensive programming, but in many places, it was actually necessary to avoid confusing DECLARE CURSOR with SELECT.) Because PlannedStmt carries a canSetTag field, we're also able to get rid of some ad-hoc rules about how to reconstruct canSetTag for a bare utility statement; specifically, the assumption that a utility is canSetTag if and only if it's the only one in its list. While I see no near-term need for relaxing that restriction, it's nice to get rid of the ad-hocery. The API of ProcessUtility() is changed so that what it's passed is the wrapper PlannedStmt not just the bare utility statement. This will affect all users of ProcessUtility_hook, but the changes are pretty trivial; see the affected contrib modules for examples of the minimum change needed. (Most compilers should give pointer-type-mismatch warnings for uncorrected code.) There's also a change in the API of ExplainOneQuery_hook, to pass through cursorOptions instead of expecting hook functions to know what to pick. This is needed because of the DECLARE CURSOR changes, but really should have been done in 9.6; it's unlikely that any extant hook functions know about using CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK. Finally, teach gram.y to save statement boundary locations in RawStmt nodes, and pass those through to Query and PlannedStmt nodes. This allows more intelligent handling of cases where a source query string contains multiple statements. This patch doesn't actually do anything with the information, but a follow-on patch will. (Passing this information through cleanly is the true motivation for these changes; while I think this is all good cleanup, it's unlikely we'd have bothered without this end goal.) catversion bump because addition of location fields to struct Query affects stored rules.

* Implement table partitioning.Robert Haas2016-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Table partitioning is like table inheritance and reuses much of the existing infrastructure, but there are some important differences. The parent is called a partitioned table and is always empty; it may not have indexes or non-inherited constraints, since those make no sense for a relation with no data of its own. The children are called partitions and contain all of the actual data. Each partition has an implicit partitioning constraint. Multiple inheritance is not allowed, and partitioning and inheritance can't be mixed. Partitions can't have extra columns and may not allow nulls unless the parent does. Tuples inserted into the parent are automatically routed to the correct partition, so tuple-routing ON INSERT triggers are not needed. Tuple routing isn't yet supported for partitions which are foreign tables, and it doesn't handle updates that cross partition boundaries. Currently, tables can be range-partitioned or list-partitioned. List partitioning is limited to a single column, but range partitioning can involve multiple columns. A partitioning "column" can be an expression. Because table partitioning is less general than table inheritance, it is hoped that it will be easier to reason about properties of partitions, and therefore that this will serve as a better foundation for a variety of possible optimizations, including query planner optimizations. The tuple routing based which this patch does based on the implicit partitioning constraints is an example of this, but it seems likely that many other useful optimizations are also possible.

* Fix CREATE MATVIEW/CREATE TABLE AS ... WITH NO DATA to not plan the query.Tom Lane2016-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, these commands always planned the given query and went through executor startup before deciding not to actually run the query if WITH NO DATA is specified. This behavior is problematic for pg_dump because it may cause errors to be raised that we would rather not see before a REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW command is issued. See for example bug #13907 from Marian Krucina. This change is not sufficient to fix that particular bug, because we also need to tweak pg_dump to issue the REFRESH later, but it's a necessary step on the way. A user-visible side effect of doing things this way is that the returned command tag for WITH NO DATA cases will now be "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW" or "CREATE TABLE AS", not "SELECT 0". We could preserve the old behavior but it would take more code, and arguably that was just an implementation artifact not intended behavior anyhow. In 9.5 and HEAD, also get rid of the static variable CreateAsReladdr, which was trouble waiting to happen; there is not any prohibition on nested CREATE commands. Back-patch to 9.3 where CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW was introduced. Michael Paquier and Tom Lane Report: <20160202161407.2778.24659@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
* Stop the executor if no more tuples can be sent from worker to leader.Robert Haas2016-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a Gather node has read as many tuples as it needs (for example, due to Limit) it may detach the queue connecting it to the worker before reading all of the worker's tuples. Rather than let the worker continue to generate and send all of the results, have it stop after sending the next tuple. More could be done here to stop the worker even quicker, but this is about as well as we can hope to do for 9.6. This is in response to a problem report from Andreas Seltenreich. Commit 44339b892a04e94bbb472235882dc6f7023bdc65 should be actually be sufficient to fix that example even without this change, but it seems better to do this, too, since we might otherwise waste quite a large amount of effort in one or more workers.

* Widen query numbers-of-tuples-processed counters to uint64.Tom Lane2016-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch widens SPI_processed, EState's es_processed field, PortalData's portalPos field, FuncCallContext's call_cntr and max_calls fields, ExecutorRun's count argument, PortalRunFetch's result, and the max number of rows in a SPITupleTable to uint64, and deals with (I hope) all the ensuing fallout. Some of these values were declared uint32 before, and others "long". I also removed PortalData's posOverflow field, since that logic seems pretty useless given that portalPos is now always 64 bits. The user-visible results are that command tags for SELECT etc will correctly report tuple counts larger than 4G, as will plpgsql's GET GET DIAGNOSTICS ... ROW_COUNT command. Queries processing more tuples than that are still not exactly the norm, but they're becoming more common. Most values associated with FETCH/MOVE distances, such as PortalRun's count argument and the count argument of most SPI functions that have one, remain declared as "long". It's not clear whether it would be worth promoting those to int64; but it would definitely be a large dollop of additional API churn on top of this, and it would only help 32-bit platforms which seem relatively less likely to see any benefit.

* Represent columns requiring insert and update privileges indentently.Andres Freund2015-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, relation range table entries used a single Bitmapset field representing which columns required either UPDATE or INSERT privileges, despite the fact that INSERT and UPDATE privileges are separately cataloged, and may be independently held. As statements so far required either insert or update privileges but never both, that was sufficient. The required permission could be inferred from the top level statement run. The upcoming INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE feature needs to independently check for both privileges in one statement though, so that is not sufficient anymore. Bumps catversion as stored rules change. Author: Peter Geoghegan Reviewed-By: Andres Freund
* Change many routines to return ObjectAddress rather than OIDAlvaro Herrera2015-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The changed routines are mostly those that can be directly called by ProcessUtilitySlow; the intention is to make the affected object information more precise, in support for future event trigger changes. Originally it was envisioned that the OID of the affected object would be enough, and in most cases that is correct, but upon actually implementing the event trigger changes it turned out that ObjectAddress is more widely useful. Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument that's an object address which provides further info about the executed command. To wit: * for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of the new constraint * for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the schema that originally contained the object. * for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address of the object added to or dropped from the extension. There's no user-visible change in this commit, and no functional change either. Discussion: 20150218213255.GC6717@tamriel.snowman.net Reviewed-By: Stephen Frost, Andres Freund
* Fix column-privilege leak in error-message pathsStephen Frost2015-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While building error messages to return to the user, BuildIndexValueDescription, ExecBuildSlotValueDescription and ri_ReportViolation would happily include the entire key or entire row in the result returned to the user, even if the user didn't have access to view all of the columns being included. Instead, include only those columns which the user is providing or which the user has select rights on. If the user does not have any rights to view the table or any of the columns involved then no detail is provided and a NULL value is returned from BuildIndexValueDescription and ExecBuildSlotValueDescription. Note that, for key cases, the user must have access to all of the columns for the key to be shown; a partial key will not be returned. Further, in master only, do not return any data for cases where row security is enabled on the relation and row security should be applied for the user. This required a bit of refactoring and moving of things around related to RLS- note the addition of utils/misc/rls.c. Back-patch all the way, as column-level privileges are now in all supported versions. This has been assigned CVE-2014-8161, but since the issue and the patch have already been publicized on pgsql-hackers, there's no point in trying to hide this commit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Support multi-argument UNNEST(), and TABLE() syntax for multiple functions.Tom Lane2013-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to write TABLE( function1(), function2(), ...) as a single FROM-clause entry. The result is the concatenation of the first row from each function, followed by the second row from each function, etc; with NULLs inserted if any function produces fewer rows than others. This is believed to be a much more useful behavior than what Postgres currently does with multiple SRFs in a SELECT list. This syntax also provides a reasonable way to combine use of column definition lists with WITH ORDINALITY: put the column definition list inside TABLE(), where it's clear that it doesn't control the ordinality column as well. Also implement SQL-compliant multiple-argument UNNEST(), by turning UNNEST(a,b,c) into TABLE(unnest(a), unnest(b), unnest(c)). The SQL standard specifies TABLE() with only a single function, not multiple functions, and it seems to require an implicit UNNEST() which is not what this patch does. There may be something wrong with that reading of the spec, though, because if it's right then the spec's TABLE() is just a pointless alternative spelling of UNNEST(). After further review of that, we might choose to adopt a different syntax for what this patch does, but in any case this functionality seems clearly worthwhile.

* Switch user ID to the object owner when populating a materialized view.Noah Misch2013-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes superuser-issued REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW safe regardless of the object's provenance. REINDEX is an earlier example of this pattern. As a downside, functions called from materialized views must tolerate running in a security-restricted operation. CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW need not change user ID. Nonetheless, avoid creation of materialized views that will invariably fail REFRESH by making it, too, start a security-restricted operation. Back-patch to 9.3 so materialized views have this from the beginning. Reviewed by Kevin Grittner.

* Move materialized views' is-populated status into their pg_class entries.Tom Lane2013-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously this state was represented by whether the view's disk file had zero or nonzero size, which is problematic for numerous reasons, since it's breaking a fundamental assumption about heap storage. This was done to allow unlogged matviews to revert to unpopulated status after a crash despite our lack of any ability to update catalog entries post-crash. However, this poses enough risk of future problems that it seems better to not support unlogged matviews until we can find another way. Accordingly, revert that choice as well as a number of existing kluges forced by it in favor of creating a pg_class.relispopulated flag column.
* Incidental cleanup of matviews code.Tom Lane2013-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move checking for unscannable matviews into ExecOpenScanRelation, which is a better place for it first because the open relation is already available (saving a relcache lookup cycle), and second because this eliminates the problem of telling the difference between rangetable entries that will or will not be scanned by the query. In particular we can get rid of the not-terribly-well-thought-out-or-implemented isResultRel field that the initial matviews patch added to RangeTblEntry. Also get rid of entirely unnecessary scannability check in the rewriter, and a bogus decision about whether RefreshMatViewStmt requires a parse-time snapshot. catversion bump due to removal of a RangeTblEntry field, which changes stored rules.
* Clean up the mess around EXPLAIN and materialized views.Tom Lane2013-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert the matview-related changes in explain.c's API, as per recent complaint from Robert Haas. The reason for these appears to have been principally some ill-considered choices around having intorel_startup do what ought to be parse-time checking, plus a poor arrangement for passing it the view parsetree it needs to store into pg_rewrite when creating a materialized view. Do the latter by having parse analysis stick a copy into the IntoClause, instead of doing it at runtime. (On the whole, I seriously question the choice to represent CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW as a variant of SELECT INTO/CREATE TABLE AS, because that means injecting even more complexity into what was already a horrid legacy kluge. However, I didn't go so far as to rethink that choice ... yet.) I also moved several error checks into matview parse analysis, and made the check for external Params in a matview more accurate. In passing, clean things up a bit more around interpretOidsOption(), and fix things so that we can use that to force no-oids for views, sequences, etc, thereby eliminating the need to cons up "oids = false" options when creating them. catversion bump due to change in IntoClause. (I wonder though if we really need readfuncs/outfuncs support for IntoClause anymore.)
