* Lock before setting relhassubclass on RELKIND_PARTITIONED_INDEX.Noah Misch2024-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 5b562644fec696977df4a82790064e8287927891 added a comment that SetRelationHasSubclass() callers must hold this lock. When commit 17f206fbc824d2b4b14480199ca9ff7dea417eda extended use of this column to partitioned indexes, it didn't take the lock. As the latter commit message mentioned, we currently never reset a partitioned index to relhassubclass=f. That largely avoids harm from the lock omission. The cause for fixing this now is to unblock introducing a rule about locks required to heap_update() a pg_class row. This might cause more deadlocks. It gives minor user-visible benefits: - If an ALTER INDEX SET TABLESPACE runs concurrently with ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION or CREATE PARTITION OF, one transaction blocks instead of failing with "tuple concurrently updated". (Many cases of DDL concurrency still fail that way.) - Match ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION in choosing to lock the index. While not user-visible today, we'll need this if we ever make something set the flag to false for a partitioned index, like ANALYZE does today for tables. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions), the plan for the commit relying on the new rule. In back branches, add LockOrStrongerHeldByMe() instead of adding a LockHeldByMe() parameter.

* Reject modifying a temp table of another session with ALTER TABLE.Tom Lane2024-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally this case isn't even reachable by non-superusers, since permissions checks prevent naming such a table. However, it is possible to make it happen by altering a parent table whose child is another session's temp table. We definitely can't support any such ALTER that requires modifying the contents of such a table, since we lack access to the other session's temporary-buffer pool. But there seems no good reason to allow it even if it'd only require changing catalog contents. One reason not to allow it is that we'd rather not expose the implementation-dependent behavior of whether a specific ALTER requires touching the table contents. Another is that there may be (in future, even if not today) optimizations that assume that a session's own temp tables won't be modified by other sessions. Hence, add a RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP() check to all the places where ALTER TABLE currently does CheckTableNotInUse(). (I looked through all other callers of CheckTableNotInUse(), and they seem OK already.) Per bug #18492 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix failure of ALTER FOREIGN TABLE SET SCHEMA to move sequences.Tom Lane2024-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinary ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA will also move any owned sequences into the new schema. We failed to do likewise for foreign tables, because AlterTableNamespaceInternal believed that only certain relkinds could have indexes, owned sequences, or constraints. We could simply add foreign tables to that relkind list, but it seems likely that the same oversight could be made again in future. Instead let's remove the relkind filter altogether. These functions shouldn't cost much when there are no objects that they need to process, and surely this isn't an especially performance-critical case anyway. Per bug #18407 from Vidushi Gupta.

* Ensure we preprocess expressions before checking their volatility.Tom Lane2023-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | contain_mutable_functions and contain_volatile_functions give reliable answers only after expression preprocessing (specifically eval_const_expressions). Some places understand this, but some did not get the memo --- which is not entirely their fault, because the problem is documented only in places far away from those functions. Introduce wrapper functions that allow doing the right thing easily, and add commentary in hopes of preventing future mistakes from copy-and-paste of code that's only conditionally safe. Two actual bugs of this ilk are fixed here. We failed to preprocess column GENERATED expressions before checking mutability, so that the code could fail to detect the use of a volatile function default-argument expression, or it could reject a polymorphic function that is actually immutable on the datatype of interest. Likewise, column DEFAULT expressions weren't preprocessed before determining if it's safe to apply the attmissingval mechanism. A false negative would just result in an unnecessary table rewrite, but a false positive could allow the attmissingval mechanism to be used in a case where it should not be, resulting in unexpected initial values in a new column. In passing, re-order the steps in ComputePartitionAttrs so that its checks for invalid column references are done before applying expression_planner, rather than after. The previous coding would not complain if a partition expression contains a disallowed column reference that gets optimized away by constant folding, which seems to me to be a behavior we do not want.

* Ensure we have a snapshot while dropping ON COMMIT DROP temp tables.Tom Lane2023-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dropping a temp table could entail TOAST table access to clean out toasted catalog entries, such as large pg_constraint.conbin strings for complex CHECK constraints. If we did that via ON COMMIT DROP, we triggered the assertion in init_toast_snapshot(), because there was no provision for setting up a snapshot for the drop actions. Fix that. (I assume here that the adjacent truncation actions for ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS don't have a similar problem: it doesn't seem like nontransactional truncations would need to touch any toasted fields. If that proves wrong, we could refactor a bit to have the same snapshot acquisition cover that too.) The test case added here does not fail before v15, because that assertion was added in 277692220 which was not back-patched. However, the race condition the assertion warns of surely exists further back, so back-patch to all supported branches. Per report from Richard Guo.

* Fix updates of indisvalid for partitioned indexesMichael Paquier2023-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indisvalid is switched to true for partitioned indexes when all its partitions have valid indexes when attaching a new partition, up to the top-most parent if all its leaves are themselves valid when dealing with multiple layers of partitions. The copy of the tuple from pg_index used to switch indisvalid to true came from the relation cache, which is incorrect. Particularly, in the case reported by Shruthi Gowda, executing a series of commands in a single transaction would cause the validation of partitioned indexes to use an incorrect version of a pg_index tuple, as indexes are reloaded after an invalidation request with RelationReloadIndexInfo(), a much faster version than a full index cache rebuild. In this case, the limited information updated in the cache leads to an incorrect version of the tuple used. One of the symptoms reported was the following error, with a replica identity update, for instance: "ERROR: attempted to update invisible tuple" This is incorrect since 8b08f7d, so backpatch all the way down.

* Ignore invalid indexes when enforcing index rules in ALTER TABLE ATTACH ↵Michael Paquier2023-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PARTITION A portion of ALTER TABLE .. ATTACH PARTITION is to ensure that the partition being attached to the partitioned table has a correct set of indexes, so as there is a consistent index mapping between the partitioned table and its new-to-be partition. However, as introduced in 8b08f7d, the current logic could choose an invalid index as a match, which is something that can exist when dealing with more than two levels of partitioning, like attaching a partitioned table (that has partitions, with an index created by CREATE INDEX ON ONLY) to another partitioned table. A partitioned index with indisvalid set to false is equivalent to an incomplete partition tree, meaning that an invalid partitioned index does not have indexes defined in all its partitions. Hence, choosing an invalid partitioned index can create inconsistent partition index trees, where the parent attaching to is valid, but its partition may be invalid. In the report from Alexander Lakhin, this showed up as an assertion failure when validating an index. Without assertions enabled, the partition index tree would be actually broken, as indisvalid should be switched to true for a partitioned index once all its partitions are themselves valid. With two levels of partitioning, the top partitioned table used a valid index and was able to link to an invalid index stored on its partition, itself a partitioned table. I have studied a few options here (like the possibility to switch indisvalid to false for the parent), but came down to the conclusion that we'd better rely on a simple rule: invalid indexes had better never be chosen, so as the partition attached uses and creates indexes that the parent expects. Some regression tests are added to provide some coverage. Note that the existing coverage is not impacted. This is a problem since partitioned indexes exist, so backpatch all the way down to v11.

* Reject system columns as elements of foreign keys.Tom Lane2023-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up through v11 it was sensible to use the "oid" system column as a foreign key column, but since that was removed there's no visible usefulness in making any of the remaining system columns a foreign key. Moreover, since the TupleTableSlot rewrites in v12, such cases actively fail because of implicit assumptions that only user columns appear in foreign keys. The lack of complaints about that seems like good evidence that no one is trying to do it. Hence, rather than trying to repair those assumptions (of which there are at least two, maybe more), let's just forbid the case up front. Per this patch, a system column in either the referenced or referencing side of a foreign key will draw this error; however, putting one in the referenced side would have failed later anyway, since we don't allow unique indexes to be made on system columns. Per bug #17877 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v12; the case still appears to work in v11, so we shouldn't break it there. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17877-4bcc658e33df6de1@postgresql.org
* Reject attempts to alter composite types used in indexes.Tom Lane2023-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | find_composite_type_dependencies() ignored indexes, which is a poor decision because an expression index could have a stored column of a composite (or other container) type even when the underlying table does not. Teach it to detect such cases and error out. We have to work a bit harder than for other relations because the pg_depend entry won't identify the specific index column of concern, but it's not much new code. This does not address bug #17872's original complaint that dropping a column in such a type might lead to violations of the uniqueness property that a unique index is supposed to ensure. That seems of much less concern to me because it won't lead to crashes. Per bug #17872 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Allow REPLICA IDENTITY to be set on an index that's not (yet) valid.Tom Lane2023-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The motivation for this change is that when pg_dump dumps a partitioned index that's marked REPLICA IDENTITY, it generates a command sequence that applies REPLICA IDENTITY before the partitioned index has been marked valid, causing restore to fail. We could perhaps change pg_dump to not do it like that, but that would be difficult and would not fix existing dump files with the problem. There seems to be very little reason for the backend to disallow this anyway --- the code ignores indisreplident when the index isn't valid --- so instead let's fix it by allowing the case. Commit 9511fb37a previously expressed a concern that allowing indisreplident to be set on invalid indexes might allow us to wind up in a situation where a table could have indisreplident set on multiple indexes. I'm not sure I follow that concern exactly, but in any case the only way that could happen is because relation_mark_replica_identity is too trusting about the existing set of markings being valid. Let's just rip out its early-exit code path (which sure looks like premature optimization anyway; what are we doing expending code to make redundant ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY commands marginally faster and not-redundant ones marginally slower?) and fix it to positively guarantee that no more than one index is marked indisreplident. The pg_dump failure can be demonstrated in all supported branches, so back-patch all the way. I chose to back-patch 9511fb37a as well, just to keep indisreplident handling the same in all branches.

* Replace RelationOpenSmgr() with RelationGetSmgr().Tom Lane2022-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a back-patch of the v15-era commit f10f0ae42 into older supported branches. The idea is to design out bugs in which an ill-timed relcache flush clears rel->rd_smgr partway through some code sequence that wasn't expecting that. We had another report today of a corner case that reliably crashes v14 under debug_discard_caches (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS), and therefore would crash once in a blue moon in the field. We're unlikely to get rid of all such code paths unless we adopt the more rigorous coding rules instituted by f10f0ae42. Therefore, even though this is a bit invasive, it's time to back-patch. Some comfort can be taken in the fact that f10f0ae42 has been in v15 for 16 months without problems. I left the RelationOpenSmgr macro present in the back branches, even though no core code should use it anymore, in order to not break third-party extensions in minor releases. Such extensions might opt to start using RelationGetSmgr instead, to reduce their code differential between v15 and earlier branches. This carries a hazard of failing to compile against headers from existing minor releases. However, once compiled the extension should work fine even with such releases, because RelationGetSmgr is a "static inline" function so it creates no link-time dependency. So depending on distribution practices, that might be an OK tradeoff. Per report from Spyridon Dimitrios Agathos. Original patch by Amul Sul.

* Create FKs properly when attaching table as partitionAlvaro Herrera2022-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f56f8f8da6af added some code in CloneFkReferencing that's way too lax about a Constraint node it manufactures, not initializing enough struct members -- initially_valid in particular was forgotten.

While at it, make the struct initialization more complete. Very similar code was added in two other places by the same commit; make them all follow the same pattern for consistency, though no bugs are apparent there.

* Fix self-referencing foreign keys with partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera2022-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of bugs in this area. Two of them are fixed here, namely: 1. get_relation_idx_constraint_oid does not restrict the type of constraint that's returned, so with sufficient bad luck it can return the OID of a foreign key constraint. This has the effect that a primary key in a partition can end up as a child of a foreign key, which makes no sense (it needs to be the child of the equivalent primary key.) Change the API contract so that only index-backed constraints are returned, mimicking get_constraint_index(). 2. Both CloneFkReferenced and CloneFkReferencing clone a self-referencing foreign key, so the partition ends up with a duplicate foreign key. Change the former function to ignore such constraints. Add some tests to verify that things are better now. (However, these new tests show some additional misbehavior that will be fixed later -- namely that there's a constraint marked NOT VALID.)

Repair, and add a test case. Backpatch to 12. In 11, the code to attach a partition was not smart enough to cope with conflicting constraint names, so the problem doesn't exist there.

* Fix ENABLE/DISABLE TRIGGER to handle recursion correctlyAlvaro Herrera2022-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using ATSimpleRecursion() in ATPrepCmd() to do so as bbb927b4db9b did is not correct, because ATPrepCmd() can't distinguish between triggers that may be cloned and those that may not, so would wrongly try to recurse for the latter category of triggers. So this commit restores the code in EnableDisableTrigger() that 86f575948c77 had added to do the recursion, which would do it only for triggers that may be cloned, that is, row-level triggers. This also changes tablecmds.c such that ATExecCmd() is able to pass the value of ONLY flag down to EnableDisableTrigger() using its new 'recurse' parameter. This also fixes what seems like an oversight of 86f575948c77 that the recursion to partition triggers would only occur if EnableDisableTrigger() had actually changed the trigger. It is more apt to recurse to inspect partition triggers even if the parent's trigger didn't need to be changed: only then can we be certain that all descendants share the same state afterwards. Backpatch all the way back to 11, like bbb927b4db9b. Care is taken not to break ABI compatibility (and that no catversion bump is needed.)

* Fix risk of deadlock failure while dropping a partitioned index.Tom Lane2022-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DROP INDEX needs to lock the index's table before the index itself, else it will deadlock against ordinary queries that acquire the relation locks in that order. This is correctly mechanized for plain indexes by RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation; but in the case of a partitioned index, we neglected to lock the child tables in advance of locking the child indexes. We can fix that by traversing the inheritance tree and acquiring the needed locks in RemoveRelations, after we have acquired our locks on the parent partitioned table and index. While at it, do some refactoring to eliminate confusion between the actual and expected relkind in RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation.

This commit closes the gap with such mistakes, by adding all the missing relkind combinations. Tests are added to check all the problems found. Note that some combinations are not used, but these are left around as it could have an impact on applications relying on this code. 2ed532e has done a much larger refactoring on HEAD to make such error messages easier to manage in the long-term, so nothing is needed there.

* Don't set a fast default for anything but a plain tableAndrew Dunstan2021-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fast default code added in Release 11 omitted to check that the table a fast default was being added to was a plain table. Thus one could be added to a foreign table, which predicably blows up. Here we perform that check. In addition, on the back branches, since some of these might have escaped into the wild, if we encounter a missing value for an attribute of something other than a plain table we ignore it.

* Fix usage of "tableoid" in GENERATED expressions.Tom Lane2021-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We consider this supported (though I've got my doubts that it's a good idea, because tableoid is not immutable). However, several code paths failed to fill the field in soon enough, causing such a GENERATED expression to see zero or the wrong value. This occurred when ALTER TABLE adds a new GENERATED column to a table with existing rows, and during regular INSERT or UPDATE on a foreign table with GENERATED columns. Noted during investigation of a report from Vitaly Ustinov. Back-patch to v12 where GENERATED came in.

* Have ALTER CONSTRAINT recurse on partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera2021-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT changes deferrability properties changed in a partitioned table, we failed to propagate those changes correctly to partitions and to triggers. Repair by adding a recursion mechanism to affect all derived constraints and all derived triggers. (In particular, recurse to partitions even if their respective parents are already in the desired state: it is possible for the partitions to have been altered individually.) Because foreign keys involve tables in two sides, we cannot use the standard ALTER TABLE recursion mechanism, so we invent our own by following pg_constraint.conparentid down. When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT is invoked on the derived pg_constraint object that's automaticaly created in a partition as a result of a constraint added to its parent, raise an error instead of pretending to work and then failing to modify all the affected triggers. Before this commit such a command would be allowed but failed to affect all triggers, so it would silently misbehave. (Restoring dumps of existing databases is not affected, because pg_dump does not produce anything for such a derived constraint anyway.) Add some tests for the case. Backpatch to 11, where foreign key support was added to partitioned tables by commit 3de241dba86f. (A related change is commit f56f8f8da6af in pg12 which added support for FKs *referencing* partitioned tables; this is what forces us to use an ad-hoc recursion mechanism for this.)

* Prevent drop of tablespaces used by partitioned relationsAlvaro Herrera2021-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits ca4103025dfe in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c3267 in pg11 for indexes), it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various problems. One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER TABLE causes a server crash. Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any partitioned relations. Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along. We don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be protected. Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST. Arguably, the latter is more correct. It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing tables/indexes, by doing ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default; ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace; for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default tablespace. Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than what's required to acquire locks. This query can be used to search for such relations: SELECT ... FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('p', 'I') AND reltablespace <> 0 Reported-by: Alexander Lakhin <exclusion@gmail.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16577-881633a9f9894fd5@postgresql.org Author: Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@alvh.no-ip.org> Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>

This was implemented in 86f575948c77 by recursing in trigger.c, but that's the wrong place; use ATSimpleRecursion instead, which behaves properly.

I noticed this problem while testing a fix for another bug in the vicinity. This has been wrong all along, so backpatch to 11. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20201016235925.GA29829@alvherre.pgsql
* Avoid unnecessary recursion to child tables in ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL.Tom Lane2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a partitioned table's column is already marked NOT NULL, there is no need to examine its partitions, because we can rely on previous DDL to have enforced that the child columns are NOT NULL as well. (Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for traditional inheritance, so for now we have to restrict the optimization to partitioned tables.) Hence, we may skip recursing to child tables in this situation. The reason this case is worth worrying about is that when pg_dump dumps a partitioned table having a primary key, it will include the requisite NOT NULL markings in the CREATE TABLE commands, and then add the primary key as a separate step. The primary key addition generates a SET NOT NULL as a subcommand, just to be sure. So the situation where a SET NOT NULL is redundant does arise in the real world. Skipping the recursion does more than just save a few cycles: it means that a command such as "ALTER TABLE ONLY partition_parent ADD PRIMARY KEY" will take locks only on the partition parent table, not on the partitions. It turns out that parallel pg_restore is effectively assuming that that's true, and has little choice but to do so because the dependencies listed for such a TOC entry don't include the partitions. pg_restore could thus issue this ALTER while data restores on the partitions are still in progress. Taking unnecessary locks on the partitions not only hurts concurrency, but can lead to actual deadlock failures, as reported by Domagoj Smoljanovic. (A contributing factor in the deadlock is that TRUNCATE on a child partition wants a non-exclusive lock on the parent. This seems likewise unnecessary, but the fix for it is more invasive so we won't consider back-patching it. Fortunately, getting rid of one of these two poor behaviors is enough to remove the deadlock.) Although support for partitioned primary keys came in with v11, this patch is dependent on the SET NOT NULL refactoring done by commit f4a3fdfbd, so we can only patch back to v12. Patch by me; thanks to Alvaro Herrera and Amit Langote for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/VI1PR03MB31670CA1BD9625C3A8C5DD05EB230@VI1PR03MB3167.eurprd03.prod.outlook.com

* Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.Tom Lane2020-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance, Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor). In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions, even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance parents. The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(), which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via inheritance. Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed DefineRelation(). The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults). Per bug #16272 from Tom Gottfried. The non-GENERATED variants of the issue are ancient, presumably dating right back to the addition of CREATE TABLE LIKE; hence back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix timing issue with ALTER TABLE's validate constraintDavid Rowley2020-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An ALTER TABLE to validate a foreign key in which another subcommand already caused a pending table rewrite could fail due to ALTER TABLE attempting to validate the foreign key before the actual table rewrite takes place. This situation could result in an error such as: ERROR: could not read block 0 in file "base/nnnnn/nnnnn": read only 0 of 8192 bytes The failure here was due to the SPI call which validates the foreign key trying to access an index which is yet to be rebuilt. Similarly, we also incorrectly tried to validate CHECK constraints before the heap had been rewritten. The fix for both is to delay constraint validation until phase 3, after the table has been rewritten. For CHECK constraints this means a slight behavioral change. Previously ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT on inheritance tables would be validated from the bottom up. This was different from the order of evaluation when a new CHECK constraint was added. The changes made here aligns the VALIDATE CONSTRAINT evaluation order for inheritance tables to be the same as ADD CONSTRAINT, which is generally top-down.

* Fix several DDL issues of generated columns versus inheritancePeter Eisentraut2020-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several combinations of generated columns and inheritance in CREATE TABLE were not handled correctly. Specifically: - Disallow a child column specifying a generation expression if the parent column is a generated column. The child column definition must be unadorned and the parent column's generation expression will be copied. - Prohibit a child column of a generated parent column specifying default values or identity. - Allow a child column of a not-generated parent column specifying itself as a generated column. This previously did not work, but it was possible to arrive at the state via other means (involving ALTER TABLE), so it seems sensible to support it. Add tests for each case. Also add documentation about the rules involving generated columns and inheritance.

* Fix detaching partitions with cloned row triggersAlvaro Herrera2020-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a partition is detached, any triggers that had been cloned from its parent were not properly disentangled from its parent triggers. This resulted in triggers that could not be dropped because they depended on the trigger in the trigger in the no-longer-parent table: ALTER TABLE t DETACH PARTITION t1; DROP TRIGGER trig ON t1; ERROR: cannot drop trigger trig on table t1 because trigger trig on table t requires it HINT: You can drop trigger trig on table t instead. Moreover the table can no longer be re-attached to its parent, because the trigger name is already taken: ALTER TABLE t ATTACH PARTITION t1 FOR VALUES FROM (1)TO(2); ERROR: trigger "trig" for relation "t1" already exists The former is a bug introduced in commit 86f575948c77. (The latter is not necessarily a bug, but it makes the bug more uncomfortable.) To avoid the complexity that would be needed to tell whether the trigger has a local definition that has to be merged with the one coming from the parent table, establish the behavior that the trigger is removed when the table is detached.

* 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.

* Fix failure to create FKs correctly in partitionsAlvaro Herrera2020-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a multi-level partioned table, when adding a partition not directly connected to the root table, foreign key constraints referencing the root were not cloned to the new partition, leading to the FK being possibly inadvertently violated later on. This was caused by fuzzy thinking in CloneFkReferenced (commit f56f8f8da6af): it was skipping constraints marked as having parents on the theory that cloning those would create duplicates; but that's only correct for the top level of the partitioning hierarchy. For levels below that one, such constraints must still be considered and only skipped if later on we see that we'd create duplicates. Apparently, I (Álvaro) wrote the comments right but the code implemented something slightly different.
