* Add temporal PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraintsPeter Eisentraut2024-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints. These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of the key and && for the temporal part. (previously committed as 46a0cd4cefb, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new part is this:) Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal expectations. For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value from any of their rows. So we need to forbid empties. This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above). Documentation and tests for this are added. But this could conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for the notion of "empty" for other types. Author: Paul A.

* Add memory/disk usage for Window aggregate nodes in EXPLAIN.Tatsuo Ishii2024-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit is similar to 1eff8279d and expands the idea to Window aggregate nodes so that users can know how much memory or disk the tuplestore used. This commit uses newly introduced tuplestore_get_stats() to inquire this information and add some additional output in EXPLAIN ANALYZE to display the information for the Window aggregate node.

* Adjust tuplestore stats APIDavid Rowley2024-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1eff8279d added an API to tuplestore.c to allow callers to obtain storage telemetry data. That API wasn't quite good enough for callers that perform tuplestore_clear() as the telemetry functions only accounted for the current state of the tuplestore, not the maximums before tuplestore_clear() was called. There's a pending patch that would like to add tuplestore telemetry output to EXPLAIN ANALYZE for WindowAgg. That node type uses tuplestore_clear() before moving to the next window partition and we want to show the maximum space used, not the space used for the final partition.

* Introduce an RTE for the grouping stepRichard Guo2024-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there are subqueries in the grouping expressions, each of these subqueries in the targetlist and HAVING clause is expanded into distinct SubPlan nodes. As a result, only one of these SubPlan nodes would be converted to reference to the grouping key column output by the Agg node; others would have to get evaluated afresh. This is not efficient, and with grouping sets this can cause wrong results issues in cases where they should go to NULL because they are from the wrong grouping set. Furthermore, during re-evaluation, these SubPlan nodes might use nulled column values from grouping sets, which is not correct. This issue is not limited to subqueries. For other types of expressions that are part of grouping items, if they are transformed into another form during preprocessing, they may fail to match lower target items. This can also lead to wrong results with grouping sets. To fix this issue, we introduce a new kind of RTE representing the output of the grouping step, with columns that are the Vars or expressions being grouped on. In the parser, we replace the grouping expressions in the targetlist and HAVING clause with Vars referencing this new RTE, so that the output of the parser directly expresses the semantic requirement that the grouping expressions be gotten from the grouping output rather than computed some other way. In the planner, we first preprocess all the columns of this new RTE and then replace any Vars in the targetlist and HAVING clause that reference this new RTE with the underlying grouping expressions, so that we will have only one instance of a SubPlan node for each subquery contained in the grouping expressions. Bump catversion because this changes the querytree produced by the parser. Thanks to Tom Lane for the idea to invent a new kind of RTE.

* Don't bother checking the result of SPI_connect[_ext] anymore.Tom Lane2024-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SPI_connect/SPI_connect_ext have not returned any value other than SPI_OK_CONNECT since commit 1833f1a1c in v10; any errors are thrown via ereport. (The most likely failure is out-of-memory, which has always been thrown that way, so callers had better be prepared for such errors.) This makes it somewhat pointless to check these functions' result, and some callers within our code haven't been bothering; indeed, the only usage example within spi.sgml doesn't bother. So it's likely that the omission has propagated into extensions too. Hence, let's standardize on not checking, and document the return value as historical, while not actually changing these functions' behavior. (The original proposal was to change their return type to "void", but that would needlessly break extensions that are conforming to the old practice.) This saves a small amount of boilerplate code in a lot of places. Stepan Neretin Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMaYL5Z9Uk8cD9qGz9QaZ2UBJFOu7jFx5Mwbznz-1tBbPDQZow@mail.gmail.com

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c66a7d75e652 modified DROP DATABASE so that if interrupted, the database is known to be in an invalid state and can only be dropped. This is done by setting a flag using an in-place update, so that it's not lost in case of rollback. For databases with many ACLs, this may however fail like this: ERROR: wrong tuple length This happens because with many ACLs, the pg_database.datacl attribute gets TOASTed. The dropdb() code reads the tuple from the syscache, which means it's detoasted. But the in-place update expects the tuple length to match the on-disk tuple. Fixed by reading the tuple from the catalog directly, not from syscache. Report and fix by Ayush Tiwari. Backpatch to 12. The DROP DATABASE fix was backpatched to 11, but 11 is EOL at this point.

Rather than trying to untangle the mess (which might be possible given sufficient time), I opted to forbid the ATTACH.

The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing. To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's. This affects check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which think they should only run during transaction start. Make them act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker. This un-reverts commit f5f30c22e. The original plan was to back-patch that, but the fact that 0ae5b763e proved to be a pre-requisite shows that the subtle API change for GUC hooks might actually break some of them. The problem we're trying to fix seems not worth taking such a risk for in stable branches. Per bug #18545 from Andrey Rachitskiy. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18545-feba138862f19aaa@postgresql.org
* Clean up handling of client_encoding GUC in parallel workers.Tom Lane2024-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding here threw an error from assign_client_encoding if it was invoked in a parallel worker. That's a very fundamental violation of the GUC hook API: assign hooks must not throw errors. The place to complain is in the check hook, so move the test to there, and use the regular check-hook API (ie return false) to report it. The reason this coding is a problem is that it breaks GUC rollback, which may occur after we leave InitializingParallelWorker state. That case seems not actually reachable before now, but commit f5f30c22e made it reachable, so we need to fix this before that can be un-reverted. In passing, improve the commentary in ParallelWorkerMain, and add a check for failure of SetClientEncoding. That's another case that can't happen now but might become possible after foreseeable code rearrangements (notably, if the shortcut of skipping PrepareClientEncoding stops being OK).

* Small refactoring around ExecCreateTableAs().Jeff Davis2024-08-02

* Implement pg_wal_replay_wait() stored procedureAlexander Korotkov2024-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for the specific WAL location to be replayed. This option is useful when the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see these changes are on standby. The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top. During the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches. pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise, the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of self-deadlock. This is why it is only possible to implement pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot, not a function. Catversion is bumped.

* Revert "Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID."Tom Lane2024-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit f5f30c22ed69fb37b896c4d4546b2ab823c3fd61. Some buildfarm animals are failing with "cannot change "client_encoding" during a parallel operation". It looks like assign_client_encoding is unhappy at being asked to roll back a client_encoding setting after a parallel worker encounters a failure. There must be more to it though: why didn't I see this during local testing? In any case, it's clear that moving the RestoreGUCState() call is not as side-effect-free as I thought. Given that the bug f5f30c22e intended to fix has gone unreported for years, it's not something that's urgent to fix; I'm not willing to risk messing with it further with only days to our next release wrap.

* Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID.Tom Lane2024-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parallel workers failed after a sequence like BEGIN; CREATE USER foo; SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION foo; because check_session_authorization could not see the uncommitted pg_authid row for "foo". This is because we ran RestoreGUCState() in a separate transaction using an ordinary just-created snapshot. The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing. To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's. This affects check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which think they should only run during transaction start. Make them act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker. Per bug #18545 from Andrey Rachitskiy. Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been wrong for awhile. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18545-feba138862f19aaa@postgresql.org
* Introduce pg_sequence_read_tuple().Nathan Bossart2024-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new function returns the data for the given sequence, i.e., the values within the sequence tuple. Since this function is a substitute for SELECT from the sequence, the SELECT privilege is required on the sequence in question. It returns all NULLs for sequences for which we lack privileges, other sessions' temporary sequences, and unlogged sequences on standbys. This function is primarily intended for use by pg_dump in a follow-up commit that will use it to optimize dumpSequenceData(). Like pg_sequence_last_value(), which is a support function for the pg_sequences system view, pg_sequence_read_tuple() is left undocumented. Bumps catversion.

* Clarify error message and documentation related to typed tables.Tom Lane2024-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We restrict typed tables (those declared as "OF composite_type") to be based on stand-alone composite types, not composite types that are the implicitly-created rowtypes of other tables. But if you tried to do that, you got the very confusing error message "type foo is not a composite type". Provide a more specific message for that case. Also clarify related documentation in the CREATE TABLE man page. Erik Wienhold and David G. Johnston, per complaint from Hannu Krosing.

* Allow altering of two_phase option of a SUBSCRIPTION.Amit Kapila2024-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The two_phase option is controlled by both the publisher (as a slot option) and the subscriber (as a subscription option), so the slot option must also be modified. Changing the 'two_phase' option for a subscription from 'true' to 'false' is permitted only when there are no pending prepared transactions corresponding to that subscription. Otherwise, the changes of already prepared transactions can be replicated again along with their corresponding commit leading to duplicate data or errors. To avoid data loss, the 'two_phase' option for a subscription can only be changed from 'false' to 'true' once the initial data synchronization is completed. Therefore this is performed later by the logical replication worker.

* Move all extern declarations for GUC variables to header filesPeter Eisentraut2024-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add extern declarations in appropriate header files for global variables related to GUC. In many cases, this was handled quite inconsistently before, with some GUC variables declared in a header file and some only pulled in via ad-hoc extern declarations in various .c files. Also add PGDLLIMPORT qualifications to those variables. These were previously missing because src/tools/mark_pgdllimport.pl has only been used with header files. This also fixes -Wmissing-variable-declarations warnings for GUC variables (not yet part of the standard warning options).
