* Remove various special checks around default rolesStephen Frost2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Default roles really should be like regular roles, for the most part. This removes a number of checks that were trying to make default roles extra special by not allowing them to be used as regular roles. We still prevent users from creating roles in the "pg_" namespace or from altering roles which exist in that namespace via ALTER ROLE, as we can't preserve such changes, but otherwise the roles are very much like regular roles. Based on discussion with Robert and Tom.

| | | | | | | | | | Now indexes (but only B-tree for now) can contain "extra" column(s) which doesn't participate in index structure, they are just stored in leaf tuples. It allows to use index only scan by using single index instead of two or more indexes.

* Move pg_constraint.h function declarations to new file pg_constraint_fn.h.Tom Lane2016-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | A pending patch requires exporting a function returning Bitmapset from catalog/pg_constraint.c. As things stand, that would mean including nodes/bitmapset.h in pg_constraint.h, which might be hazardous for the client-side includability of that header. It's not entirely clear whether any client-side code needs to include pg_constraint.h, but it seems prudent to assume that there is some such code somewhere. Therefore, split off the function definitions into a new file pg_constraint_fn.h, similarly to what we've done for some other catalog header files.
* Restructure index access method API to hide most of it at the C level.Tom Lane2016-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures. For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access methods in installable extensions. A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead. (Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.) We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but this patch doesn't do that. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, and rather heavily editorialized on by me.

* Include typmod when complaining about inherited column type mismatches.Tom Lane2015-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MergeAttributes() rejects cases where columns to be merged have the same type but different typmod, which is correct; but the error message it printed didn't show either typmod, which is unhelpful. Changing this requires using format_type_with_typemod() in place of TypeNameToString(), which will have some minor side effects on the way some type names are printed, but on balance this is an improvement: the old code sometimes printed one type according to one set of rules and the other type according to the other set, which could be confusing in its own way. Oddly, there were no regression test cases covering any of this behavior, so add some. Complaint and fix by Amit Langote
* Rework internals of changing a type's ownershipAlvaro Herrera2015-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is necessary so that REASSIGN OWNED does the right thing with composite types, to wit, that it also alters ownership of the type's pg_class entry -- previously, the pg_class entry remained owned by the original user, which caused later other failures such as the new owner's inability to use ALTER TYPE to rename an attribute of the affected composite. Also, if the original owner is later dropped, the pg_class entry becomes owned by a non-existant user which is bogus. To fix, create a new routine AlterTypeOwner_oid which knows whether to pass the request to ATExecChangeOwner or deal with it directly, and use that in shdepReassignOwner rather than calling AlterTypeOwnerInternal directly. AlterTypeOwnerInternal is now simpler in that it only modifies the pg_type entry and recurses to handle a possible array type; higher-level tasks are handled by either AlterTypeOwner directly or AlterTypeOwner_oid. I took the opportunity to add a few more objects to the test rig for REASSIGN OWNED, so that more cases are exercised. Additional ones could be added for superuser-only-ownable objects (such as FDWs and event triggers) but I didn't want to push my luck by adding a new superuser to the tests on a backpatchable bug fix. Per bug #13666 reported by Chris Pacejo. Backpatch to 9.5. (I would back-patch this all the way back, except that it doesn't apply cleanly in 9.4 and earlier because 59367fdf9 wasn't backpatched. If we decide that we need this in earlier branches too, we should backpatch both.)
* Fix ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE for unlogged relations.Andres Freund2015-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing the tablespace of an unlogged relation did not WAL log the creation and content of the init fork. Thus, after a standby is promoted, unlogged relation cannot be accessed anymore, with errors like: ERROR: 58P01: could not open file "pg_tblspc/...": No such file or directory Additionally the init fork was not synced to disk, independent of the configured wal_level, a relatively small durability risk. Investigation of that problem also brought to light that, even for permanent relations, the creation of !main forks was not WAL logged, i.e. no XLOG_SMGR_CREATE record were emitted. That mostly turns out not to be a problem, because these files were created when the actual relation data is copied; nonexistent files are not treated as an error condition during replay. But that doesn't work for empty files, and generally feels a bit haphazard. Luckily, outside init and main forks, empty forks don't occur often or are not a problem. Add the required WAL logging and syncing to disk.

* Fix handling of inherited check constraints in ALTER COLUMN TYPE (again).Tom Lane2015-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous way of reconstructing check constraints was to do a separate "ALTER TABLE ONLY tab ADD CONSTRAINT" for each table in an inheritance hierarchy. However, that way has no hope of reconstructing the check constraints' own inheritance properties correctly, as pointed out in bug #13779 from Jan Dirk Zijlstra. What we should do instead is to do a regular "ALTER TABLE", allowing recursion, at the topmost table that has a particular constraint, and then suppress the work queue entries for inherited instances of the constraint. Annoyingly, we'd tried to fix this behavior before, in commit 5ed6546cf, but we failed to notice that it wasn't reconstructing the pg_constraint field values correctly. As long as I'm touching pg_get_constraintdef_worker anyway, tweak it to always schema-qualify the target table name; this seems like useful backup to the protections installed by commit 5f173040. In HEAD/9.5, get rid of get_constraint_relation_oids, which is now unused. (I could alternatively have modified it to also return conislocal, but that seemed like a pretty single-purpose API, so let's not pretend it has some other use.) It's unused in the back branches as well, but I left it in place just in case some third-party code has decided to use it. In HEAD/9.5, also rename pg_get_constraintdef_string to pg_get_constraintdef_command, as the previous name did nothing to explain what that entry point did differently from others (and its comment was equally useless). Again, that change doesn't seem like material for back-patching. I did a bit of re-pgindenting in tablecmds.c in HEAD/9.5, as well. Otherwise, back-patch to all supported branches.

* ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITYStephen Frost2015-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow users to force RLS to always be applied, even for table owners, add ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY. row_security=off overrides FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY, to ensure pg_dump output is complete (by default). Also add SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS context to avoid data corruption when ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW SECURITY is being used. The SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS security context is used only during referential integrity checks and is only considered in check_enable_rls() after we have already checked that the current user is the owner of the relation (which should always be the case during referential integrity checks). Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a column's datatype is changed, ATExecAlterColumnType() rebuilds all the affected indexes and constraints, and the comments from the old indexes/constraints were not carried over. To fix, create a synthetic COMMENT ON command in the work queue, to re-add any comments on constraints. For indexes, there's a comment field in IndexStmt that is used. This fixes bug #13126, reported by Kirill Simonov. Original patch by Michael Paquier, reviewed by Petr Jelinek and me. This bug is present in all versions, but only backpatch to 9.5. Given how minor the issue is, it doesn't seem worth the work and risk to backpatch further than that.
* Reformat code in ATPostAlterTypeParse.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | The code in ATPostAlterTypeParse was very deeply indented, mostly because there were two nested switch-case statements, which add a lot of indentation. Use if-else blocks instead, to make the code less indented and more readable. This is in preparation for next patch that makes some actualy changes to the function. These cosmetic parts have been separated to make it easier to see the real changes in the other patch.
* Improve error message and hint for ALTER COLUMN TYPE can't-cast failure.Tom Lane2015-06-12

Also, it seems helpful to provide the exact text of a suggested USING clause, so users can just copy-and-paste it when needed. Per complaint from Keith Rarick and a suggestion from Merlin Moncure. Back-patch to 9.2 where the current wording was adopted.

Two function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one of these, but I found a lot more with grep. Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos. For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/ "through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira. Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.

* Allow on-the-fly capture of DDL event detailsAlvaro Herrera2015-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature lets user code inspect and take action on DDL events. Whenever a ddl_command_end event trigger is installed, DDL actions executed are saved to a list which can be inspected during execution of a function attached to ddl_command_end. The set-returning function pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands can be used to list actions so captured; it returns data about the type of command executed, as well as the affected object. This is sufficient for many uses of this feature. For the cases where it is not, we also provide a "command" column of a new pseudo-type pg_ddl_command, which is a pointer to a C structure that can be accessed by C code. The struct contains all the info necessary to completely inspect and even reconstruct the executed command. There is no actual deparse code here; that's expected to come later. What we have is enough infrastructure that the deparsing can be done in an external extension. The intention is that we will add some deparsing code in a later release, as an in-core extension. A new test module is included. It's probably insufficient as is, but it should be sufficient as a starting point for a more complete and future-proof approach.

* Fix overlooked relcache invalidation in ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT.Tom Lane2015-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When altering the deferredness state of a foreign key constraint, we correctly updated the catalogs and then invalidated the relcache state for the target relation ... but that's not the only relation with relevant triggers. Must invalidate the other table as well, or the state change fails to take effect promptly for operations triggered on the other table. Per bug #13224 from Christian Ullrich. In passing, reorganize regression test case for this feature so that it isn't randomly injected into the middle of an unrelated test sequence. Oversight in commit f177cbfe676dc2c7ca2b206c54d6bf819feeea8b. Back-patch to 9.4 where the faulty code was added.
* Fix ATSimpleRecursion() to allow recursion from a foreign table.Tom Lane2015-04-28

* Add comments warning against generalizing default_with_oids.Tom Lane2015-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_dump has historically assumed that default_with_oids affects only plain tables and not other relkinds. Conceivably we could make it apply to some newly invented relkind if we did so from the get-go, but changing the behavior for existing object types will break existing dump scripts. Add code comments warning about this interaction. Also, make sure that default_with_oids doesn't cause parse_utilcmd.c to think that CREATE FOREIGN TABLE will create an OID column. I think this is only a latent bug right now, since we don't allow UNIQUE/PKEY constraints in CREATE FOREIGN TABLE, but it's better to be consistent and future-proof.

* Transform ALTER TABLE/SET TYPE/USING expr during parse analysisAlvaro Herrera2015-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This lets later stages have access to the transformed expression; in particular it allows DDL-deparsing code during event triggers to pass the transformed expression to ruleutils.c, so that the complete command can be deparsed. This shuffles the timing of the transform calls a bit: previously, nothing was transformed during parse analysis, and only the RELKIND_RELATION case was being handled during execution. After this patch, all expressions are transformed during parse analysis (including those for relkinds other than RELATION), and the error for other relation kinds is thrown only during execution. So we do more work than before to reject some bogus cases. That seems acceptable.
* Return ObjectAddress in many ALTER TABLE sub-routinesAlvaro Herrera2015-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit a2e35b53c39b2a, most CREATE and ALTER commands return the ObjectAddress of the affected object. This is useful for event triggers to try to figure out exactly what happened. This patch extends this idea a bit further to cover ALTER TABLE as well: an auxiliary ObjectAddress is returned for each of several subcommands of ALTER TABLE. This makes it possible to decode with precision what happened during execution of any ALTER TABLE command; for instance, which constraint was added by ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT, or which parent got dropped from the parents list by ALTER TABLE NO INHERIT. As with the previous patch, there is no immediate user-visible change here. This is all really just continuing what c504513f83a9ee8 started. Reviewed by Stephen Frost.

* Allow foreign tables to participate in inheritance.Tom Lane2015-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks. As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops for most. An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified in EXPLAIN output, for example: Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46) Update on pt1 Foreign Update on ft1 Foreign Update on ft2 Update on child3 -> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46) This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL" fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables are involved.

* 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.

* Use the typcache to cache constraints for domain types.Tom Lane2015-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we cached domain constraints for the life of a query, or really for the life of the FmgrInfo struct that was used to invoke domain_in() or domain_check(). But plpgsql (and probably other places) are set up to cache such FmgrInfos for the whole lifespan of a session, which meant they could be enforcing really stale sets of constraints. On the other hand, searching pg_constraint once per query gets kind of expensive too: testing says that as much as half the runtime of a trivial query such as "SELECT 0::domaintype" went into that. To fix this, delegate the responsibility for tracking a domain's constraints to the typcache, which has the infrastructure needed to detect syscache invalidation events that signal possible changes. This not only removes unnecessary repeat reads of pg_constraint, but ensures that we never apply stale constraint data: whatever we use is the current data according to syscache rules. Unfortunately, the current configuration of the system catalogs means we have to flush cached domain-constraint data whenever either pg_type or pg_constraint changes, which happens rather a lot (eg, creation or deletion of a temp table will do it). It might be worth rearranging things to split pg_constraint into two catalogs, of which the domain constraint one would probably be very low-traffic. That's a job for another patch though, and in any case this patch should improve matters materially even with that handicap. This patch makes use of the recently-added memory context reset callback feature to manage the lifespan of domain constraint caches, so that we don't risk deleting a cache that might be in the midst of evaluation. Although this is a bug fix as well as a performance improvement, no back-patch. There haven't been many if any field complaints about stale domain constraint checks, so it doesn't seem worth taking the risk of modifying data structures as basic as MemoryContexts in back branches.
* Make CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW internally more consistentAlvaro Herrera2015-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way that columns are added to a view is by calling AlterTableInternal with special subtype AT_AddColumnToView; but that subtype is changed to AT_AddColumnRecurse by ATPrepAddColumn. This has no visible effect in the current code, since views cannot have inheritance children (thus the recursion step is a no-op) and adding a column to a view is executed identically to doing it to a table; but it does make a difference for future event trigger code keeping track of commands, because the current situation leads to confusing the case with a normal ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN. Fix the problem by passing a flag to ATPrepAddColumn to prevent it from changing the command subtype. The event trigger code can then properly ignore the subcommand. (We could remove the call to ATPrepAddColumn, since views are never typed, and there is never a need for recursion, which are the two conditions that are checked by ATPrepAddColumn; but it seems more future-proof to keep the call in place.)
* Get rid of multiple applications of transformExpr() to the same tree.Tom Lane2015-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transformExpr() has for many years had provisions to do nothing when applied to an already-transformed expression tree. However, this was always ugly and of dubious reliability, so we'd be much better off without it. The primary historical reason for it was that gram.y sometimes returned multiple links to the same subexpression, which is no longer true as of my BETWEEN fixes. We'd also grown some lazy hacks in CREATE TABLE LIKE (failing to distinguish between raw and already-transformed index specifications) and one or two other places. This patch removes the need for and support for re-transforming already transformed expressions. The index case is dealt with by adding a flag to struct IndexStmt to indicate that it's already been transformed; which has some benefit anyway in that tablecmds.c can now Assert that transformation has happened rather than just assuming. The other main reason was some rather sloppy code for array type coercion, which can be fixed (and its performance improved too) by refactoring. I did leave transformJoinUsingClause() still constructing expressions containing untransformed operator nodes being applied to Vars, so that transformExpr() still has to allow Var inputs. But that's a much narrower, and safer, special case than before, since Vars will never appear in a raw parse tree, and they don't have any substructure to worry about. In passing fix some oversights in the patch that added CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS (missing processing of IndexStmt.if_not_exists). These appear relatively harmless, but still sloppy coding practice.
* Have TRUNCATE update pgstat tuple countersAlvaro Herrera2015-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This works by keeping a per-subtransaction record of the ins/upd/del counters before the truncate, and then resetting them; this record is useful to return to the previous state in case the truncate is rolled back, either in a subtransaction or whole transaction. The state is propagated upwards as subtransactions commit. When the per-table data is sent to the stats collector, a flag indicates to reset the live/dead counters to zero as well. Catalog version bumped due to the change in pgstat format.

* get_object_address: separate domain constraints from table constraintsAlvaro Herrera2014-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Apart from enabling comments on domain constraints, this enables a future project to replicate object dropping to remote servers: with the current mechanism there's no way to distinguish between the two types of constraints, so there's no way to know what to drop. Also added support for the domain constraint comments in psql's \dd and pg_dump. Catalog version bumped due to the change in ObjectType enum.
* Allow CHECK constraints to be placed on foreign tables.Tom Lane2014-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As with NOT NULL constraints, we consider that such constraints are merely reports of constraints that are being enforced by the remote server (or other underlying storage mechanism). Their only real use is to allow planner optimizations, for example in constraint-exclusion checks. Thus, the code changes here amount to little more than removal of the error that was formerly thrown for applying CHECK to a foreign table. (In passing, do a bit of cleanup of the ALTER FOREIGN TABLE reference page, which had accumulated some weird decisions about ordering etc.) Shigeru Hanada and Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and Ashutosh Bapat.
* Event Trigger for table_rewriteSimon Riggs2014-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generate a table_rewrite event when ALTER TABLE attempts to rewrite a table. Provide helper functions to identify table and reason. Intended use case is to help assess or to react to schema changes that might hold exclusive locks for long periods.

* 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!
