* Avoid incorrectly indicating exclusion constraint waitStephen Frost2016-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | INSERT ... ON CONFLICT's precheck may have to wait on the outcome of another insertion, which may or may not itself be a speculative insertion. This wait is not necessarily associated with an exclusion constraint, but was always reported that way in log messages if the wait happened to involve a tuple that had no speculative token. Initially discovered through use of ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, where spurious references to exclusion constraints in log messages were more likely. Patch by Peter Geoghegan. Reviewed by Julien Rouhaud. Back-patch to 9.5 where INSERT ... ON CONFLICT was added.

| | | | | | | | | It was a bool, even though it should be CEOUC_WAIT_MODE. That's unlikely to have a negative effect with the current definition of bool (char), but it's definitely wrong. Discussion: 20150812084351.GD8470@awork2.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.5, where ON CONFLICT was merged

* Collection of typo fixes.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). 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.
* Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund2015-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table.
