* Fix a gradual memory leak in ExecReScanAgg(). Because the aggregationNeil Conway2007-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | hash table is allocated in a child context of the agg node's memory context, MemoryContextReset() will reset but *not* delete the child context. Since ExecReScanAgg() proceeds to build a new hash table from scratch (in a new sub-context), this results in leaking the header for the previous memory context. Therefore, use MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren() instead. Credit: My colleague Sailesh Krishnamurthy at Truviso for isolating the cause of the leak.
* Fix dynahash.c to suppress hash bucket splits while a hash_seq_search() scanTom Lane2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is in progress on the same hashtable. This seems the least invasive way to fix the recently-recognized problem that a split could cause the scan to visit entries twice or (with much lower probability) miss them entirely. The only field-reported problem caused by this is the "failed to re-find shared lock object" PANIC in COMMIT PREPARED reported by Michel Dorochevsky, which was caused by multiply visited entries. However, it seems certain that mdsync() is vulnerable to missing required fsync's due to missed entries, and I am fearful that RelationCacheInitializePhase2() might be at risk as well. Because of that and the generalized hazard presented by this bug, back-patch all the supported branches. Along the way, fix pg_prepared_statement() and pg_cursor() to not assume that the hashtables they are examining will stay static between calls. This is risky regardless of the newly noted dynahash problem, because hash_seq_search() has never promised to cope with deletion of table entries other than the just-returned one. There may be no bug here because the only supported way to call these functions is via ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() which will cycle them to completion before doing anything very interesting, but it seems best to get rid of the assumption. This affects 8.2 and HEAD only, since those functions weren't there earlier.
* Repair insufficiently careful type checking for SQL-language functions:Tom Lane2007-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we should check that the function code returns the claimed result datatype every time we parse the function for execution. Formerly, for simple scalar result types we assumed the creation-time check was sufficient, but this fails if the function selects from a table that's been redefined since then, and even more obviously fails if check_function_bodies had been OFF. This is a significant security hole: not only can one trivially crash the backend, but with appropriate misuse of pass-by-reference datatypes it is possible to read out arbitrary locations in the server process's memory, which could allow retrieving database content the user should not be able to see. Our thanks to Jeff Trout for the initial report. Security: CVE-2007-0555
* Relax an Assert() that has been found to be too strict in some situationsTom Lane2007-01-24
| | | | | | | involving unions of types having typmods. Variants of the failure are known to occur in 8.1 and up; not sure if it's possible in 8.0 and 7.4, but since the code exists that far back, I'll just patch 'em all. Per report from Brian Hurt.
* Repair bug #2839: the various ExecReScan functions need to resetTom Lane2006-12-26
| | | | | | | | | ps_TupFromTlist in plan nodes that make use of it. This was being done correctly in join nodes and Result nodes but not in any relation-scan nodes. Bug would lead to bogus results if a set-returning function appeared in the targetlist of a subquery that could be rescanned after partial execution, for example a subquery within EXISTS(). Bug has been around forever :-( ... surprising it wasn't reported before.
* Repair bug #2694 concerning an ARRAY[] construct whose inputs are emptyTom Lane2006-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | sub-arrays. Per discussion, if all inputs are empty arrays then result must be an empty array too, whereas a mix of empty and nonempty arrays should (and already did) draw an error. In the back branches, the construct was strict: any NULL input immediately yielded a NULL output; so I left that behavior alone. HEAD was simply ignoring NULL sub-arrays, which doesn't seem very sensible. For lack of a better idea it now treats NULL sub-arrays the same as empty ones.
* Fix nasty bug in nodeIndexscan.c's detection of duplicate tuples duringTom Lane2006-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | a multiple (OR'ed) indexscan. It was checking for duplicate tuple->t_data->t_ctid, when what it should be checking is tuple->t_self. The trouble situation occurs when a live tuple has t_ctid not pointing to itself, which can happen if an attempted UPDATE was rolled back. After a VACUUM, an unrelated tuple could be installed where the failed update tuple was, leading to one live tuple's t_ctid pointing to an unrelated tuple. If one of these tuples is fetched by an earlier OR'ed indexscan and the other by a later indexscan, nodeIndexscan.c would incorrectly ignore the second tuple. The bug exists in all 7.4.* and 8.0.* versions, but not in earlier or later branches because this code was only used in those releases. Per trouble report from Rafael Martinez Guerrero.
* Repair "Halloween problem" in EvalPlanQual: a tuple that's been inserted byTom Lane2006-01-12
| | | | | | | | our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
* Back-patch fixes for problems with VACUUM destroying t_ctid chains too soon,Tom Lane2005-08-25
| | | | | and with insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. This patch covers the 7.4 branch.

* Hashed LEFT JOIN would miss outer tuples with no inner match if the joinTom Lane2004-09-17
| | | | | | was large enough to be batched and the tuples fell into a batch where there were no inner tuples at all. Thanks to Xiaoyu Wang for finding a test case that exposed this long-standing bug.
* Back-patch fix to disallow BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK inside SQL functions.Tom Lane2004-09-06
| | | | | Not sure why this isn't causing serious problems in some simple tests, but it definitely isn't going to do anything desirable...
* Test HAVING condition before computing targetlist of an Aggregate node.Tom Lane2004-07-10
| | | | | | | This is required by SQL spec to avoid failures in cases like SELECT sum(win)/sum(lose) FROM ... GROUP BY ... HAVING sum(lose) > 0; AFAICT we have gotten this wrong since day one. Kudos to Holger Jakobs for being the first to notice.
* Still another place to make the world safe for zero-column tables.Tom Lane2004-04-07
| | | | Per example from Jiang Wei.
* Repair memory leakage introduced into the non-hashed aggregate case byTom Lane2004-03-13
| | | | | | | 7.4 rewrite for hashed aggregate support. If the transition data type is pass-by-reference, the transValue must be pfreed when starting a new group boundary, else we have a one-value-per-group leakage. Thanks to Rae Steining for providing a reproducible test case.
* Junkfilter logic to force a projection step during SELECT INTO was tooTom Lane2004-03-02
| | | | | simplistic; it recognized SELECT * FROM but not SELECT * FROM LIMIT. Per bug report from Jeff Bohmer.
* Fix oversight in optimization that avoids an unnecessary projection stepTom Lane2004-01-22
| | | | | | when scanning a table that we need all the columns from. In case of SELECT INTO, we have to check that the hasoids flag matches the desired output type, too. Per report from Mike Mascari.
* Avoid running out of memory during hash_create, by not passing aTom Lane2003-12-30
| | | | | number-of-buckets that exceeds the size we actually plan to allow the hash table to grow to. Per trouble report from Sean Shanny.
* Use a shutdown callback to clear setArgsValid in a FuncExprState that isTom Lane2003-12-18

* Ensure set-returning functions in the targetlist of a plan node will beTom Lane2003-12-18
| | | | | | shut down cleanly if the plan node is ReScanned before the SRFs are run to completion. This fixes the problem for SQL-language functions, but still need work on functions using the SRF_XXX() macros.
* Band-aid solution for problems with SubPlans used in hash join clauses,Tom Lane2003-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | per report from Andrew Holm-Hansen. The difficulty arises from the fact that the planner allowed a Hash node's hashkeys to share substructure with the parent HashJoin node's hashclauses, plus some rather bizarre choices about who initializes what during executor startup. A cleaner but more invasive solution is to not store hashkeys separately in the plan tree at all, but let the HashJoin node deconstruct hashclauses during executor startup. I plan to fix it that way in HEAD.

* Repair RI trigger visibility problems (this time for sure ;-)) per recentTom Lane2003-10-01
| | | | | | | discussion on pgsql-hackers: in READ COMMITTED mode we just have to force a QuerySnapshot update in the trigger, but in SERIALIZABLE mode we have to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.

* Get rid of ReferentialIntegritySnapshotOverride by extending Executor APITom Lane2003-09-25
| | | | | | to allow es_snapshot to be set to SnapshotNow rather than a query snapshot. This solves a bug reported by Wade Klaver, wherein triggers fired as a result of RI cascade updates could misbehave.
* Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut2003-09-25
| | | | | terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.
* Repair some REINDEX problems per recent discussions. The relcache isTom Lane2003-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared- index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes) now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates. It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except shared catalogs.

* Since SPI_modifytuple's natts argument is the number of attributes to beTom Lane2003-09-16

* Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Gavin Sherry. While aTom Lane2003-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | really general fix might be difficult, I believe the only case where AtCommit_Notify could see an uncommitted tuple is where the other guy has just unlistened and not yet committed. The best solution seems to be to just skip updating that tuple, on the assumption that the other guy does not want to hear about the notification anyway. This is not perfect --- if the other guy rolls back his unlisten instead of committing, then he really should have gotten this notify. But to do that, we'd have to wait to see if he commits or not, or make UNLISTEN hold exclusive lock on pg_listener until commit. Either of these answers is deadlock-prone, not to mention horrible for interactive performance. Do it this way for now. (What happened to that project to do LISTEN/NOTIFY in memory with no table, anyway?)

* Some "feature not supported" errors are better syntax errors, because thePeter Eisentraut2003-09-09

* Tweak processing of multiple-index-scan plans to reduce overhead whenTom Lane2003-08-22
| | | | | | | handling many-way scans: instead of re-evaluating all prior indexscan quals to see if a tuple has been fetched more than once, use a hash table indexed by tuple CTID. But fall back to the old way if the hash table grows to exceed SortMem.
* Improve dynahash.c's API so that caller can specify the comparison functionTom Lane2003-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | as well as the hash function (formerly the comparison function was hardwired as memcmp()). This makes it possible to eliminate the special-purpose hashtable management code in execGrouping.c in favor of using dynahash to manage tuple hashtables; which is a win because dynahash knows how to expand a hashtable when the original size estimate was too small, whereas the special-purpose code was too stupid to do that. (See recent gripe from Stephan Szabo about poor performance when hash table size estimate is way off.) Free side benefit: when using string_hash, the default comparison function is now strncmp() instead of memcmp(). This should eliminate some part of the overhead associated with larger NAMEDATALEN values.
* Fix ARRAY[] construct so that in multidimensional case, elements canTom Lane2003-08-17
| | | | | | | | be anything yielding an array of the proper kind, not only sub-ARRAY[] constructs; do subscript checking at runtime not parse time. Also, adjust array_cat to make array || array comply with the SQL99 spec. Joe Conway
* Code cleanup inspired by recent resname bug report (doesn't fix the bugTom Lane2003-08-11
| | | | | | | | yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with llast().
