* Change internal RelFileNode references to RelFileNumber or RelFileLocator.Robert Haas2022-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination; or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is confusing. Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage". Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other SQL-facing things that derive their name from it. On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode, so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to how they're being used in context. Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these are the same, but that can now more easily be changed. Dilip Kumar, per an idea from me. Reviewed also by Andres Freund. I fixed some whitespace issues, changed a couple of words in a comment, and made one other minor correction.

* Unlogged sequencesPeter Eisentraut2022-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for unlogged sequences. Unlike for unlogged tables, this is not a performance feature. It allows sequences associated with unlogged tables to be excluded from replication. A new subcommand ALTER SEQUENCE ... SET LOGGED/UNLOGGED is added. An identity/serial sequence now automatically gets and follows the persistence level (logged/unlogged) of its owning table. (The sequences owned by temporary tables were already temporary through the separate mechanism in RangeVarAdjustRelationPersistence().) But you can still change the persistence of an owned sequence separately. Also, pg_dump and pg_upgrade preserve the persistence of existing sequences.

* Allow granting SET and ALTER SYSTEM privileges on GUC parameters.Tom Lane2022-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows "PGC_SUSET" parameters to be set by non-superusers if they have been explicitly granted the privilege to do so. The privilege to perform ALTER SYSTEM SET/RESET on a specific parameter can also be granted. Such privileges are cluster-wide, not per database. They are tracked in a new shared catalog, pg_parameter_acl. Granting and revoking these new privileges works as one would expect. One caveat is that PGC_USERSET GUCs are unaffected by the SET privilege --- one could wish that those were handled by a revocable grant to PUBLIC, but they are not, because we couldn't make it robust enough for GUCs defined by extensions.

* Allow CLUSTER on partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera2022-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is essentially the same as applying VACUUM FULL to a partitioned table, which has been supported since commit 3c3bb99330aa (March 2017). While there's no great use case in applying CLUSTER to partitioned tables, we don't have any strong reason not to allow it either. For now, partitioned indexes cannot be marked clustered, so an index must always be specified. While at it, rename some variables that were RangeVars during the development that led to 8bc717cb8878 but never made it that way to the source tree; there's no need to perpetuate names that have always been more confusing than helpful.

* Add new block-by-block strategy for CREATE DATABASE.Robert Haas2022-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because this strategy logs changes on a block-by-block basis, it avoids the need to checkpoint before and after the operation. However, because it logs each changed block individually, it might generate a lot of extra write-ahead logging if the template database is large. Therefore, the older strategy remains available via a new STRATEGY parameter to CREATE DATABASE, and a corresponding --strategy option to createdb. Somewhat controversially, this patch assembles the list of relations to be copied to the new database by reading the pg_class relation of the template database. Cross-database access like this isn't normally possible, but it can be made to work here because there can't be any connections to the database being copied, nor can it contain any in-doubt transactions. Even so, we have to use lower-level interfaces than normal, since the table scan and relcache interfaces will not work for a database to which we're not connected. The advantage of this approach is that we do not need to rely on the filesystem to determine what ought to be copied, but instead on PostgreSQL's own knowledge of the database structure. This avoids, for example, copying stray files that happen to be located in the source database directory. Dilip Kumar, with a fairly large number of cosmetic changes by me.

* Add decoding of sequences to built-in replicationTomas Vondra2022-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds support for decoding of sequences to the built-in replication (the infrastructure was added by commit 0da92dc530). The syntax and behavior mostly mimics handling of tables, i.e. a publication may be defined as FOR ALL SEQUENCES (replicating all sequences in a database), FOR ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA (replicating all sequences in a particular schema) or individual sequences. To publish sequence modifications, the publication has to include 'sequence' action. The protocol is extended with a new message, describing sequence increments. A new system view pg_publication_sequences lists all the sequences added to a publication, both directly and indirectly. Various psql commands (\d and \dRp) are improved to also display publications including a given sequence, or sequences included in a publication.

* Fix bogus dependency handling for GENERATED expressions.Tom Lane2022-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For GENERATED columns, we record all dependencies of the generation expression as AUTO dependencies of the column itself. This means that the generated column is silently dropped if any dependency is removed, even if CASCADE wasn't specified. This is at least a POLA violation, but I think it's actually based on a misreading of the standard. The standard does say that you can't drop a dependent GENERATED column in RESTRICT mode; but that's buried down in a subparagraph, on a different page from some pseudocode that makes it look like an AUTO drop is being suggested. Change this to be more like the way that we handle regular default expressions, ie record the dependencies as NORMAL dependencies of the pg_attrdef entry. Also, make the pg_attrdef entry's dependency on the column itself be INTERNAL not AUTO. That has two effects: * the column will go away, not just lose its default, if any dependency of the expression is dropped with CASCADE. So we don't need any special mechanism to make that happen. * it provides an additional cross-check preventing someone from dropping the default expression without dropping the column. catversion bump because of change in the contents of pg_depend (which also requires a change in one information_schema view). Per bug #17439 from Kevin Humphreys. Although this is a longstanding bug, it seems impractical to back-patch because of the need for catalog contents changes.

* Move pg_attrdef manipulation code into new file catalog/pg_attrdef.c.Tom Lane2022-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a pure refactoring commit: there isn't (I hope) any functional change. StoreAttrDefault and RemoveAttrDefault[ById] are moved from heap.c, reducing the size of that overly-large file by about 300 lines. I took the opportunity to trim unused #includes from heap.c, too. Two new functions for translating between a pg_attrdef OID and the relid/attnum of the owning column are created by extracting ad-hoc code from objectaddress.c. This already removes one copy of said code, and a follow-on bug fix will create more callers. The only other function directly manipulating pg_attrdef is AttrDefaultFetch. I judged it was better to leave that in relcache.c, since it shares special concerns about recursion and error handling with the rest of that module.

* 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. We can save a couple of syscache lookups too, by having that function pass back info that RemoveRelations will need. Back-patch to v11 where partitioned indexes were added.

* Parse/analyze function renamingPeter Eisentraut2022-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three parallel ways to call parse/analyze: with fixed parameters, with variable parameters, and by supplying your own parser callback. Some of the involved functions were confusingly named and made this API structure more confusing. This patch renames some functions to make this clearer: parse_analyze() -> parse_analyze_fixedparams() pg_analyze_and_rewrite() -> pg_analyze_and_rewrite_fixedparams() (Otherwise one might think this variant doesn't accept parameters, but in fact all three ways accept parameters.) pg_analyze_and_rewrite_params() -> pg_analyze_and_rewrite_withcb() (Before, and also when considering pg_analyze_and_rewrite(), one might think this is the only way to pass parameters. Moreover, the parser callback doesn't necessarily need to parse only parameters, it's just one of the things it could do.) parse_fixed_parameters() -> setup_parse_fixed_parameters() parse_variable_parameters() -> setup_parse_variable_parameters() (These functions don't actually do any parsing, they just set up callbacks to use during parsing later.) This patch also adds some const decorations to the fixed-parameters API, so the distinction from the variable-parameters API is more clear.

* Create foreign key triggers in partitioned tables tooAlvaro Herrera2022-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While user-defined triggers defined on a partitioned table have a catalog definition for both it and its partitions, internal triggers used by foreign keys defined on partitioned tables only have a catalog definition for its partitions. This commit fixes that so that partitioned tables get the foreign key triggers too, just like user-defined triggers. Moreover, like user-defined triggers, partitions' internal triggers will now also have their tgparentid set appropriately. This is to allow subsequent commit(s) to make the foreign key related events to be fired in some cases using the parent table triggers instead of those of partitions'. This also changes what tgisinternal means in some cases. Currently, it means either that the trigger is an internal implementation object of a foreign key constraint, or a "child" trigger on a partition cloned from the trigger on the parent. This commit changes it to only mean the former to avoid confusion. As for the latter, it can be told by tgparentid being nonzero, which is now true both for user- defined and foreign key's internal triggers.

* Remove assertion for ALTER TABLE .. DETACH PARTITION CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2021-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One code path related to this flavor of ALTER TABLE was checking that the relation to detach has to be a normal table or a partitioned table, which would fail if using the command with a different relation kind. Views, sequences and materialized views cannot be part of a partition tree, so these would cause the command to fail anyway, but the assertion was triggered. Foreign tables can be part of a partition tree, and again the assertion would have failed. The simplest solution is just to remove this assertion, so as we get the same failure as the non-concurrent code path.

* Always use ReleaseTupleDesc after lookup_rowtype_tupdesc et al.Tom Lane2021-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The API spec for lookup_rowtype_tupdesc previously said you could use either ReleaseTupleDesc or DecrTupleDescRefCount. However, the latter choice means the caller must be certain that the returned tupdesc is refcounted. I don't recall right now whether that was always true when this spec was written, but it's certainly not always true since we introduced shared record typcaches for parallel workers. That means that callers using DecrTupleDescRefCount are dependent on typcache behavior details that they probably shouldn't be. Hence, change the API spec to say that you must call ReleaseTupleDesc, and fix the half-dozen callers that weren't. AFAICT this is just future-proofing, there's no live bug here. So no back-patch.

* Block ALTER INDEX/TABLE index_name ALTER COLUMN colname SET (options)Michael Paquier2021-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The grammar of this command run on indexes with column names has always been authorized by the parser, and it has never been documented. Since 911e702, it is possible to define opclass parameters as of CREATE INDEX, which actually broke the old case of ALTER INDEX/TABLE where relation-level parameters n_distinct and n_distinct_inherited could be defined for an index (see 76a47c0 and its thread where this point has been touched, still remained unused). Attempting to do that in v13~ would cause the index to become unusable, as there is a new dedicated code path to load opclass parameters instead of the relation-level ones previously available. Note that it is possible to fix things with a manual catalog update to bring the relation back online. This commit disables this command for now as the use of column names for indexes does not make sense anyway, particularly when it comes to index expressions where names are automatically computed. One way to properly support this case properly in the future would be to use column numbers when it comes to indexes, in the same way as ALTER INDEX .. ALTER COLUMN .. SET STATISTICS.

* Fix toast rewrites in logical decoding.Amit Kapila2021-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 325f2ec555 introduced pg_class.relwrite to skip operations on tables created as part of a heap rewrite during DDL. It links such transient heaps to the original relation OID via this new field in pg_class but forgot to do anything about toast tables. So, logical decoding was not able to skip operations on internally created toast tables. This leads to an error when we tried to decode the WAL for the next operation for which it appeared that there is a toast data where actually it didn't have any toast data. To fix this, we set pg_class.relwrite for internally created toast tables as well which allowed skipping operations on them during logical decoding.

There are some other issues as well. It's now too late in the cycle for nontrivial fixes, so we'll have to let Postgres 14 users continue to manually deal with ANALYZE their partitioned tables, and hopefully we can fix the issues for Postgres 15. I kept [most of] be280cdad298 ("Don't reset relhasindex for partitioned tables on ANALYZE") because while we added it due to 0827e8af70f4, it is a good bugfix in its own right, since it affects manual analyze as well as autovacuum-induced analyze, and there's no reason to revert it. I retained the addition of relkind 'p' to tables included by pg_stat_user_tables, because reverting that would require a catversion bump. Also, in pg14 only, I keep a struct member that was added to PgStat_TabStatEntry to avoid breaking compatibility with existing stat files. Backpatch to 14.

* Add call to object access hook at the end of table rewrite in ALTER TABLEMichael Paquier2021-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ALTER TABLE .. SET {LOGGED,UNLOGGED,ACCESS METHOD} would never do a table-level object access hook, which was inconsistent with SET TABLESPACE. Note that contrary to SET TABLESPACE, the no-op case is left off for those commands as this requires tracking if commands have been called, but they may not execute a physical rewrite. Another thing worth noting is that the physical file swap at the end of a rewrite does a couple of access calls for internal objects created for the swap operation (internal objects are for example skipped by the tests of sepgsql), but this does not trigger the hook for the table on which the operation is done. f41872d, that added support for SET LOGGED/UNLOGGED in ALTER TABLE, visibly forgot to consider that. Based on what I checked, two regression tests of sepgsql in ddl.sql are going to log more information with this test, something that buildfarm member rhinoceros will tell soon enough. I am not completely sure of their format though, so these are not refreshed yet. This is arguably a bug, but no backpatch is done as this could cause a behavior change for anybody using object access hooks.

* Add support for SET ACCESS METHOD in ALTER TABLEMichael Paquier2021-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic used to support a change of access method for a table is similar to changes for tablespace or relation persistence, requiring a table rewrite with an exclusive lock of the relation changed. Table rewrites done in ALTER TABLE already go through the table AM layer when scanning tuples from the old relation and inserting them into the new one, making this implementation straight-forward. Note that partitioned tables are not supported as these have no access methods defined.

* Replace explicit PIN entries in pg_depend with an OID range test.Tom Lane2021-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of v14, pg_depend contains almost 7000 "pin" entries recording the OIDs of built-in objects. This is a fair amount of bloat for every database, and it adds time to pg_depend lookups as well as initdb. We can get rid of all of those entries in favor of an OID range check, i.e. "OIDs below FirstUnpinnedObjectId are pinned". (template1 and the public schema are exceptions. Those exceptions are now wired into IsPinnedObject() instead of initdb's code for filling pg_depend, but it's the same amount of cruft either way.) The contents of pg_shdepend are modified likewise.

* Replace RelationOpenSmgr() with RelationGetSmgr().Tom Lane2021-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea behind this patch is to design out bugs like the one fixed by commit 9d523119f. Previously, once one did RelationOpenSmgr(rel), it was considered okay to access rel->rd_smgr directly for some not-very-clear interval. But since that pointer will be cleared by relcache flushes, we had bugs arising from overreliance on a previous RelationOpenSmgr call still being effective. Now, very little code except that in rel.h and relcache.c should ever touch the rd_smgr field directly. The normal coding rule is to use RelationGetSmgr(rel) and not expect the result to be valid for longer than one smgr function call. There are a couple of places where using the function every single time seemed like overkill, but they are now annotated with large warning comments. Amul Sul, after an idea of mine.

* Improve error messages about mismatching relkindPeter Eisentraut2021-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most error messages about a relkind that was not supported or appropriate for the command was of the pattern "relation \"%s\" is not a table, foreign table, or materialized view" This style can become verbose and tedious to maintain. Moreover, it's not very helpful: If I'm trying to create a comment on a TOAST table, which is not supported, then the information that I could have created a comment on a materialized view is pointless. Instead, write the primary error message shorter and saying more directly that what was attempted is not possible. Then, in the detail message, explain that the operation is not supported for the relkind the object was. To simplify that, add a new function errdetail_relkind_not_supported() that does this. In passing, make use of RELKIND_HAS_STORAGE() where appropriate, instead of listing out the relkinds individually.

* Centralize the logic for protective copying of utility statements.Tom Lane2021-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the "simple Query" code path, it's fine for parse analysis or execution of a utility statement to scribble on the statement's node tree, since that'll just be thrown away afterwards. However it's not fine if the node tree is in the plan cache, as then it'd be corrupted for subsequent executions. Up to now we've dealt with that by having individual utility-statement functions apply copyObject() if they were going to modify the tree. But that's prone to errors of omission. Bug #17053 from Charles Samborski shows that CREATE/ALTER DOMAIN didn't get this memo, and can crash if executed repeatedly from plan cache. In the back branches, we'll just apply a narrow band-aid for that, but in HEAD it seems prudent to have a more principled fix that will close off the possibility of other similar bugs in future. Hence, let's hoist the responsibility for doing copyObject up into ProcessUtility from its children, thus ensuring that it happens for all utility statement types. Also, modify ProcessUtility's API so that its callers can tell it whether a copy step is necessary. It turns out that in all cases, the immediate caller knows whether the node tree is transient, so this doesn't involve a huge amount of code thrashing. In this way, while we lose a little bit in the execute-from-cache code path due to sometimes copying node trees that wouldn't be mutated anyway, we gain something in the simple-Query code path by not copying throwaway node trees. Statements that are complex enough to be expensive to copy are almost certainly ones that would have to be copied anyway, so the loss in the cache code path shouldn't be much. (Note that this whole problem applies only to utility statements. Optimizable statements don't have the issue because we long ago made the executor treat Plan trees as read-only. Perhaps someday we will make utility statement execution act likewise, but I'm not holding my breath.)

* Rethink definition of pg_attribute.attcompression.Tom Lane2021-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Redefine '\0' (InvalidCompressionMethod) as meaning "if we need to compress, use the current setting of default_toast_compression". This allows '\0' to be a suitable default choice regardless of datatype, greatly simplifying code paths that initialize tupledescs and the like. It seems like a more user-friendly approach as well, because now the default compression choice doesn't migrate into table definitions, meaning that changing default_toast_compression is usually sufficient to flip an installation's behavior; one needn't tediously issue per-column ALTER SET COMPRESSION commands. Along the way, fix a few minor bugs and documentation issues with the per-column-compression feature. Adopt more robust APIs for SetIndexStorageProperties and GetAttributeCompression. Bump catversion because typical contents of attcompression will now be different. We could get away without doing that, but it seems better to ensure v14 installations all agree on this.

* Re-order pg_attribute columns to eliminate some padding space.Tom Lane2021-05-23
