* Fix column-privilege leak in error-message pathsStephen Frost2015-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While building error messages to return to the user, BuildIndexValueDescription, ExecBuildSlotValueDescription and ri_ReportViolation would happily include the entire key or entire row in the result returned to the user, even if the user didn't have access to view all of the columns being included. Instead, include only those columns which the user is providing or which the user has select rights on. If the user does not have any rights to view the table or any of the columns involved then no detail is provided and a NULL value is returned from BuildIndexValueDescription and ExecBuildSlotValueDescription. Note that, for key cases, the user must have access to all of the columns for the key to be shown; a partial key will not be returned. Further, in master only, do not return any data for cases where row security is enabled on the relation and row security should be applied for the user. This required a bit of refactoring and moving of things around related to RLS- note the addition of utils/misc/rls.c. Back-patch all the way, as column-level privileges are now in all supported versions. This has been assigned CVE-2014-8161, but since the issue and the patch have already been publicized on pgsql-hackers, there's no point in trying to hide this commit.

* Setup error context callback for transaction lock waitsAlvaro Herrera2014-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this in place, a session blocking behind another one because of tuple locks will get a context line mentioning the relation name, tuple TID, and operation being done on tuple. For example: LOG: process 11367 still waiting for ShareLock on transaction 717 after 1000.108 ms DETAIL: Process holding the lock: 11366. Wait queue: 11367. CONTEXT: while updating tuple (0,2) in relation "foo" STATEMENT: UPDATE foo SET value = 3; Most usefully, the new line is displayed by log entries due to log_lock_waits, although of course it will be printed by any other log message as well.

* Use InvalidSnapshot, now SnapshotNow, as the default snapshot.Robert Haas2013-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | As far as I can determine, there's no code in the core distribution that fails to explicitly set the snapshot of a scan or executor state. If there is any such code, this will probably cause it to seg fault; friendlier suggestions were discussed on pgsql-hackers, but there was no consensus that anything more than this was needed. This is another step towards the hoped-for complete removal of SnapshotNow.

* Incidental cleanup of matviews code.Tom Lane2013-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move checking for unscannable matviews into ExecOpenScanRelation, which is a better place for it first because the open relation is already available (saving a relcache lookup cycle), and second because this eliminates the problem of telling the difference between rangetable entries that will or will not be scanned by the query. In particular we can get rid of the not-terribly-well-thought-out-or-implemented isResultRel field that the initial matviews patch added to RangeTblEntry. Also get rid of entirely unnecessary scannability check in the rewriter, and a bogus decision about whether RefreshMatViewStmt requires a parse-time snapshot. catversion bump due to removal of a RangeTblEntry field, which changes stored rules.
* Provide database object names as separate fields in error messages.Tom Lane2013-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses the problem that applications currently have to extract object names from possibly-localized textual error messages, if they want to know for example which index caused a UNIQUE_VIOLATION failure. It adds new error message fields to the wire protocol, which can carry the name of a table, table column, data type, or constraint associated with the error. (Since the protocol spec has always instructed clients to ignore unrecognized field types, this should not create any compatibility problem.) Support for providing these new fields has been added to just a limited set of error reports (mainly, those in the "integrity constraint violation" SQLSTATE class), but we will doubtless add them to more calls in future.

* Fix assorted bugs in CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane2012-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e, which introduced DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor choice of catalog state representation. The pg_index state for an index that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This meant that the (necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions. Failure to do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from queries depending on the concurrently-created index. To fix, add an additional boolean column "indislive" to pg_index, so that the freshly-created and about-to-die states can be distinguished. (This change obviously is only possible in HEAD. This patch will need to be back-patched, but in 9.2 we'll use a kluge consisting of overloading the formerly-impossible state of indisvalid = true and indisready = false.) In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update. The latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly resulting in index corruption. This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code. In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as appropriate. These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with such an index. Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index columns that are allowed to change after initial creation. Previously we could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache entry. It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen. In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY; some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments. This will need to be back-patched, but in a noticeably different form, so I'm committing it to HEAD before working on the back-patch. Problem reported by Amit Kapila, diagnosis by Pavan Deolassee, fix by Tom Lane and Andres Freund.
* Fix whole-row Var evaluation to cope with resjunk columns (again).Tom Lane2012-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a whole-row Var is reading the result of a subquery, we need it to ignore any "resjunk" columns that the subquery might have evaluated for GROUP BY or ORDER BY purposes. We've hacked this area before, in commit 68e40998d058c1f6662800a648ff1e1ce5d99cba, but that fix only covered whole-row Vars of named composite types, not those of RECORD type; and it was mighty klugy anyway, since it just assumed without checking that any extra columns in the result must be resjunk. A proper fix requires getting hold of the subquery's targetlist so we can actually see which columns are resjunk (whereupon we can use a JunkFilter to get rid of them). So bite the bullet and add some infrastructure to make that possible. Per report from Andrew Dunstan and additional testing by Merlin Moncure. Back-patch to all supported branches. In 8.3, also back-patch commit 292176a118da6979e5d368a4baf27f26896c99a5, which for some reason I had not done at the time, but it's a prerequisite for this change.

* Restructure SELECT INTO's parsetree representation into CreateTableAsStmt.Tom Lane2012-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Making this operation look like a utility statement seems generally a good idea, and particularly so in light of the desire to provide command triggers for utility statements. The original choice of representing it as SELECT with an IntoClause appendage had metastasized into rather a lot of places, unfortunately, so that this patch is a great deal more complicated than one might at first expect. In particular, keeping EXPLAIN working for SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS subcommands required restructuring some EXPLAIN-related APIs. Add-on code that calls ExplainOnePlan or ExplainOneUtility, or uses ExplainOneQuery_hook, will need adjustment. Also, the cases PREPARE ... SELECT INTO and CREATE RULE ... SELECT INTO, which formerly were accepted though undocumented, are no longer accepted. The PREPARE case can be replaced with use of CREATE TABLE AS EXECUTE. The CREATE RULE case doesn't seem to have much real-world use (since the rule would work only once before failing with "table already exists"), so we'll not bother with that one. Both SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS still return a command tag of "SELECT nnnn". There was some discussion of returning "CREATE TABLE nnnn", but for the moment backwards compatibility wins the day.

* Rearrange the implementation of index-only scans.Tom Lane2011-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes index-only scans so that data is read directly from the index tuple without first generating a faux heap tuple. The only immediate benefit is that indexes on system columns (such as OID) can be used in index-only scans, but this is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to support index-only scans on expression indexes. The executor is now ready for that, though the planner still needs substantial work to recognize the possibility. To do this, Vars in index-only plan nodes have to refer to index columns not heap columns. I introduced a new special varno, INDEX_VAR, to mark such Vars to avoid confusion. (In passing, this commit renames the two existing special varnos to OUTER_VAR and INNER_VAR.) This allows ruleutils.c to handle them with logic similar to what we use for subplan reference Vars. Since index-only scans are now fundamentally different from regular indexscans so far as their expression subtrees are concerned, I also chose to change them to have their own plan node type (and hence, their own executor source file).

* Fix trigger WHEN conditions when both BEFORE and AFTER triggers exist.Tom Lane2011-08-21
| | | | | | | | | Due to tuple-slot mismanagement, evaluation of WHEN conditions for AFTER ROW UPDATE triggers could crash if there had been a BEFORE ROW trigger fired for the same update. Fix by not trying to overload the use of estate->es_trig_tuple_slot. Per report from Yoran Heling. Back-patch to 9.0, when trigger WHEN conditions were introduced.
* Pass collations to functions in FunctionCallInfoData, not FmgrInfo.Tom Lane2011-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function, FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive patch...

* Refactor the executor's API to support data-modifying CTEs better.Tom Lane2011-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed. Those problems show it is really not practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd. Some Asserts have been added to these functions to help verify correct usage. It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively. If you really need to suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to ExecutorStart. Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code. I think this is not actually necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider committing. But it seems like good future-proofing.
* Support data-modifying commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) in WITH.Tom Lane2011-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value, and in an unspecified order. Therefore one WITH clause can't see the effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than through the RETURNING values. And attempts to do conflicting updates will have unpredictable results. We'll need to document all that. This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on author.

* Create core infrastructure for KNNGIST.Tom Lane2010-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a heavily revised version of builtin_knngist_core-0.9. The ordering operators are no longer mixed in with actual quals, which would have confused not only humans but significant parts of the planner. Instead, ordering operators are carried separately throughout planning and execution. Since the API for ambeginscan and amrescan functions had to be changed anyway, this commit takes the opportunity to rationalize that a bit. RelationGetIndexScan no longer forces a premature index_rescan call; instead, callers of index_beginscan must call index_rescan too. Aside from making the AM-side initialization logic a bit less peculiar, this has the advantage that we do not make a useless extra am_rescan call when there are runtime key values. AMs formerly could not assume that the key values passed to amrescan were actually valid; now they can. Teodor Sigaev and Tom Lane

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VACUUM FULL INPLACE), along with a boatload of subsidiary code and complexity. Per discussion, the use case for this method of vacuuming is no longer large enough to justify maintaining it; not to mention that we don't wish to invest the work that would be needed to make it play nicely with Hot Standby. Aside from the code directly related to old-style VACUUM FULL, this commit removes support for certain WAL record types that could only be generated within VACUUM FULL, redirect-pointer removal in heap_page_prune, and nontransactional generation of cache invalidation sinval messages (the last being the sticking point for Hot Standby). We still have to retain all code that copes with finding HEAP_MOVED_OFF and HEAP_MOVED_IN flag bits on existing tuples. This can't be removed as long as we want to support in-place update from pre-9.0 databases.

* Re-implement EvalPlanQual processing to improve its performance and eliminateTom Lane2009-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a lot of strange behaviors that occurred in join cases. We now identify the "current" row for every joined relation in UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries. If an EvalPlanQual recheck is necessary, we jam the appropriate row into each scan node in the rechecking plan, forcing it to emit only that one row. The former behavior could rescan the whole of each joined relation for each recheck, which was terrible for performance, and what's much worse could result in duplicated output tuples. Also, the original implementation of EvalPlanQual could not re-use the recheck execution tree --- it had to go through a full executor init and shutdown for every row to be tested. To avoid this overhead, I've associated a special runtime Param with each LockRows or ModifyTable plan node, and arranged to make every scan node below such a node depend on that Param. Thus, by signaling a change in that Param, the EPQ machinery can just rescan the already-built test plan. This patch also adds a prohibition on set-returning functions in the targetlist of SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE. This is needed to avoid the duplicate-output-tuple problem. It seems fairly reasonable since the other restrictions on SELECT FOR UPDATE are meant to ensure that there is a unique correspondence between source tuples and result tuples, which an output SRF destroys as much as anything else does.
* Move the handling of SELECT FOR UPDATE locking and rechecking out ofTom Lane2009-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | execMain.c and into a new plan node type LockRows. Like the recent change to put table updating into a ModifyTable plan node, this increases planning flexibility by allowing the operations to occur below the top level of the plan tree. It's necessary in any case to restore the previous behavior of having FOR UPDATE locking occur before ModifyTable does. This partially refactors EvalPlanQual to allow multiple rows-under-test to be inserted into the EPQ machinery before starting an EPQ test query. That isn't sufficient to fix EPQ's general bogosity in the face of plans that return multiple rows per test row, though. Since this patch is mostly about getting some plan node infrastructure in place and not about fixing ten-year-old bugs, I will leave EPQ improvements for another day. Another behavioral change that we could now think about is doing FOR UPDATE before LIMIT, but that too seems like it should be treated as a followon patch.
* Remove very ancient tuple-counting infrastructure (IncrRetrieved() andTom Lane2009-10-08

EXPLAIN ANALYZE is what people use in practice, and I think if we did want process-wide counters we'd be more likely to put in dtrace events for that than try to resurrect this code. Get rid of it so as to have one less detail to worry about while refactoring execMain.c.

* Support deferrable uniqueness constraints.Tom Lane2009-07-29

* Fix error cleanup failure caused by 8.4 changes in plpgsql to try to avoidTom Lane2009-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | memory leakage in error recovery. We were calling FreeExprContext, and therefore invoking ExprContextCallback callbacks, in both normal and error exits from subtransactions. However this isn't very safe, as shown in recent trouble report from Frank van Vugt, in which releasing a tupledesc refcount failed. It's also unnecessary, since the resources that callbacks might wish to release should be cleaned up by other error recovery mechanisms (ie the resource owners). We only really want FreeExprContext to release memory attached to the exprcontext in the error-exit case. So, add a bool parameter to FreeExprContext to tell it not to call the callbacks. A more general solution would be to pass the isCommit bool parameter on to the callbacks, so they could do only safe things during error exit. But that would make the patch significantly more invasive and possibly break third-party code that registers ExprContextCallback callbacks. We might want to do that later in HEAD, but for now I'll just do what seems reasonable to back-patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | filter to be used when INSERT or SELECT INTO has a plan that returns raw disk tuples. The virtual-tuple-slot optimizations that were put in place awhile ago mean that ExecInsert has to do ExecMaterializeSlot, and that already copies the tuple if it's raw (and does so more efficiently than a junk filter, too). So get rid of that logic. This in turn means that we can throw away ExecMayReturnRawTuples, which wasn't used for any other purpose, and was always a kluge anyway. In passing, move a couple of SELECT-INTO-specific fields out of EState and into the private state of the SELECT INTO DestReceiver, as was foreseen in an old comment there. Also make intorel_receive use ExecMaterializeSlot not ExecCopySlotTuple, for consistency with ExecInsert and to possibly save a tuple copy step in some cases.

* Avoid incrementing the CommandCounter when CommandCounterIncrement is calledTom Lane2007-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | but no database changes have been made since the last CommandCounterIncrement. This should result in a significant improvement in the number of "commands" that can typically be performed within a transaction before hitting the 2^32 CommandId size limit. In particular this buys back (and more) the possible adverse consequences of my previous patch to fix plan caching behavior. The implementation requires tracking whether the current CommandCounter value has been "used" to mark any tuples. CommandCounter values stored into snapshots are presumed not to be used for this purpose. This requires some small executor changes, since the executor used to conflate the curcid of the snapshot it was using with the command ID to mark output tuples with. Separating these concepts allows some small simplifications in executor APIs. Something for the TODO list: look into having CommandCounterIncrement not do AcceptInvalidationMessages. It seems fairly bogus to be doing it there, but exactly where to do it instead isn't clear, and I'm disinclined to mess with asynchronous behavior during late beta.

| | | | | | | | | | | | columns, and the new version can be stored on the same heap page, we no longer generate extra index entries for the new version. Instead, index searches follow the HOT-chain links to ensure they find the correct tuple version. In addition, this patch introduces the ability to "prune" dead tuples on a per-page basis, without having to do a complete VACUUM pass to recover space. VACUUM is still needed to clean up dead index entries, however. Pavan Deolasee, with help from a bunch of other people.
