* Update copyright for the year 2010.Bruce Momjian2010-01-02

* Don't treat NEW and OLD as reserved words anymore. For the purposes of rulesTom Lane2009-11-05
| | | | | | | | it works just as well to have them be ordinary identifiers, and this gets rid of a number of ugly special cases. Plus we aren't interfering with non-rule usage of these names. catversion bump because the names change internally in stored rules.
* Fix AcquireRewriteLocks to be sure that it acquires the right lock strengthTom Lane2009-10-28
| | | | | | when FOR UPDATE is propagated down into a sub-select expanded from a view. Similar bug to parser's isLockedRel issue that I fixed yesterday; likewise seems not quite worth the effort to back-patch.
* When FOR UPDATE/SHARE is used with LIMIT, put the LockRows plan nodeTom Lane2009-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | underneath the Limit node, not atop it. This fixes the old problem that such a query might unexpectedly return fewer rows than the LIMIT says, due to LockRows discarding updated rows. There is a related problem that LockRows might destroy the sort ordering produced by earlier steps; but fixing that by pushing LockRows below Sort would create serious performance problems that are unjustified in many real-world applications, as well as potential deadlock problems from locking many more rows than expected. Instead, keep the present semantics of applying FOR UPDATE after ORDER BY within a single query level; but allow the user to specify the other way by writing FOR UPDATE in a sub-select. To make that work, track whether FOR UPDATE appeared explicitly in sub-selects or got pushed down from the parent, and don't flatten a sub-select that contained an explicit FOR UPDATE.
* Make FOR UPDATE/SHARE in the primary query not propagate into WITH queries;Tom Lane2009-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for example in WITH w AS (SELECT * FROM foo) SELECT * FROM w, bar ... FOR UPDATE the FOR UPDATE will now affect bar but not foo. This is more useful and consistent than the original 8.4 behavior, which tried to propagate FOR UPDATE into the WITH query but always failed due to assorted implementation restrictions. Even though we are in process of removing those restrictions, it seems correct on philosophical grounds to not let the outer query's FOR UPDATE affect the WITH query. In passing, fix isLockedRel which frequently got things wrong in nested-subquery cases: "FOR UPDATE OF foo" applies to an alias foo in the current query level, not subqueries. This has been broken for a long time, but it doesn't seem worth back-patching further than 8.4 because the actual consequences are minimal. At worst the parser would sometimes get RowShareLock on a relation when it should be AccessShareLock or vice versa. That would only make a difference if someone were using ExclusiveLock concurrently, which no standard operation does, and anyway FOR UPDATE doesn't result in visible changes so it's not clear that the someone would notice any problem. Between that and the fact that FOR UPDATE barely works with subqueries at all in existing releases, I'm not excited about worrying about it.
* 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.
* Fix subquery pullup to wrap a PlaceHolderVar around the entire RowExprTom Lane2009-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | that's generated for a whole-row Var referencing the subquery, when the subquery is in the nullable side of an outer join. The previous coding instead put PlaceHolderVars around the elements of the RowExpr. The effect was that when the outer join made the subquery outputs go to null, the whole-row Var produced ROW(NULL,NULL,...) rather than just NULL. There are arguments afoot about whether those things ought to be semantically indistinguishable, but for the moment they are not entirely so, and the planner needs to take care that its machinations preserve the difference. Per bug #5025. Making this feasible required refactoring ResolveNew() to allow more caller control over what is substituted for a Var. I chose to make ResolveNew() a wrapper around a new general-purpose function replace_rte_variables(). I also fixed the ancient bogosity that ResolveNew might fail to set a query's hasSubLinks field after inserting a SubLink in it. Although all current callers make sure that happens anyway, we've had bugs of that sort before, and it seemed like a good time to install a proper solution. Back-patch to 8.4. The problem can be demonstrated clear back to 8.0, but the fix would be too invasive in earlier branches; not to mention that people may be depending on the subtly-incorrect behavior. The 8.4 series is new enough that fixing this probably won't cause complaints, but it might in older branches. Also, 8.4 shows the incorrect behavior in more cases than older branches do, because it is able to flatten subqueries in more cases.

* Add checks to DefineQueryRewrite() to prohibit attaching rules to relationsTom Lane2009-05-13
| | | | | | | that aren't RELKIND_RELATION or RELKIND_VIEW, and to disallow attaching rules to system relations unless allowSystemTableMods is on. This is to make the behavior of CREATE RULE more like CREATE TRIGGER, which disallows the comparable cases. Per discussion of bug #4808.
* Get rid of the rather fuzzily defined FlattenedSubLink node type in favor ofTom Lane2009-02-25
| | | | | | | | | making pull_up_sublinks() construct a full-blown JoinExpr tree representation of IN/EXISTS SubLinks that it is able to convert to semi or anti joins. This makes pull_up_sublinks() a shade more complex, but the gain in semantic clarity is worth it. I still have more to do in this area to address the previously-discussed problems, but this commit in itself fixes at least one bug in HEAD, as shown by added regression test case.

* Rethink the way FSM truncation works. Instead of WAL-logging FSMHeikki Linnakangas2008-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | truncations in FSM code, call FreeSpaceMapTruncateRel from smgr_redo. To make that cleaner from modularity point of view, move the WAL-logging one level up to RelationTruncate, and move RelationTruncate and all the related WAL-logging to new src/backend/catalog/storage.c file. Introduce new RelationCreateStorage and RelationDropStorage functions that are used instead of calling smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink directly. Move the pending rel deletion stuff from smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink to the new functions. This leaves smgr.c as a thin wrapper around md.c; all the transactional stuff is now in storage.c. This will make it easier to add new forks with similar truncation logic, like the visibility map.
* Make SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE work on inheritance trees, by having the planTom Lane2008-11-15
| | | | | | | | | return the tableoid as well as the ctid for any FOR UPDATE targets that have child tables. All child tables are listed in the ExecRowMark list, but the executor just skips the ones that didn't produce the current row. Curiously, this longstanding restriction doesn't seem to have been documented anywhere; so no doc changes.
* Make relhasrules and relhastriggers work like relhasindex, namely we letTom Lane2008-11-10
| | | | VACUUM reset them to false rather than trying to clean 'em up during DROP.
* Replace pg_class.reltriggers with relhastriggers, which is just a boolean hintTom Lane2008-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ("there might be triggers") rather than an exact count. This is necessary catalog infrastructure for the upcoming patch to reduce the strength of locking needed for trigger addition/removal. Split out and committed separately for ease of reviewing/testing. In passing, also get rid of the unused pg_class columns relukeys, relfkeys, and relrefs, which haven't been maintained in many years and now have no chance of ever being maintained (because of wishing to avoid locking). Simon Riggs
* Remove all uses of the deprecated functions heap_formtuple, heap_modifytuple,Tom Lane2008-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al (which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions, reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones. We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still contain many instances of the old coding style. Kris Jurka
* Dept of better ideas: refrain from creating the planner's placeholder_listTom Lane2008-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | until vars are distributed to rels during query_planner() startup. We don't really need it before that, and not building it early has some advantages. First, we don't need to put it through the various preprocessing steps, which saves some cycles and eliminates the need for a number of routines to support PlaceHolderInfo nodes at all. Second, this means one less unused plan for any sub-SELECT appearing in a placeholder's expression, since we don't build placeholder_list until after sublink expansion is complete.
* Add a concept of "placeholder" variables to the planner. These are variablesTom Lane2008-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | that represent some expression that we desire to compute below the top level of the plan, and then let that value "bubble up" as though it were a plain Var (ie, a column value). The immediate application is to allow sub-selects to be flattened even when they are below an outer join and have non-nullable output expressions. Formerly we couldn't flatten because such an expression wouldn't properly go to NULL when evaluated above the outer join. Now, we wrap it in a PlaceHolderVar and arrange for the actual evaluation to occur below the outer join. When the resulting Var bubbles up through the join, it will be set to NULL if necessary, yielding the correct results. This fixes a planner limitation that's existed since 7.1. In future we might want to use this mechanism to re-introduce some form of Hellerstein's "expensive functions" optimization, ie place the evaluation of an expensive function at the most suitable point in the plan tree.
* When expanding a whole-row Var into a RowExpr during ResolveNew(), attachTom Lane2008-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | the column alias names of the RTE referenced by the Var to the RowExpr. This is needed to allow ruleutils.c to correctly deparse FieldSelect nodes referencing such a construct. Per my recent bug report. Adding a field to RowExpr forces initdb (because of stored rules changes) so this solution is not back-patchable; which is unfortunate because 8.2 and 8.3 have this issue. But it only affects EXPLAIN for some pretty odd corner cases, so we can probably live without a solution for the back branches.
* Implement SQL-standard WITH clauses, including WITH RECURSIVE.Tom Lane2008-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL (should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses. These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a pretty useful feature. There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles, which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land the patch now so we can get on with other development. Yoshiyuki Asaba, with lots of help from Tatsuo Ishii and Tom Lane
* Fix more problems with rewriter failing to set Query.hasSubLinks when insertingTom Lane2008-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | a SubLink expression into a rule query. We missed cases where the original query contained a sub-SELECT in a function in FROM, a multi-row VALUES list, or a RETURNING list. Per bug #4434 from Dean Rasheed and subsequent investigation. Back-patch to 8.1; older releases don't have the issue because they didn't try to be smart about setting hasSubLinks only when needed.
* Add a bunch of new error location reports to parse-analysis error messages.Tom Lane2008-09-01
| | | | | There are still some weak spots around JOIN USING and relation alias lists, but most errors reported within backend/parser/ now have locations.
* Extend the parser location infrastructure to include a location field inTom Lane2008-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | most node types used in expression trees (both before and after parse analysis). This allows us to place an error cursor in many situations where we formerly could not, because the information wasn't available beyond the very first level of parse analysis. There's a fair amount of work still to be done to persuade individual ereport() calls to actually include an error location, but this gets the initdb-forcing part of the work out of the way; and the situation is already markedly better than before for complaints about unimplementable implicit casts, such as CASE and UNION constructs with incompatible alternative data types. Per my proposal of a few days ago.
* Move exprType(), exprTypmod(), expression_tree_walker(), and related routinesTom Lane2008-08-25
| | | | | | into nodes/nodeFuncs, so as to reduce wanton cross-subsystem #includes inside the backend. There's probably more that should be done along this line, but this is a start anyway.
* Arrange to convert EXISTS subqueries that are equivalent to hashable INTom Lane2008-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | subqueries into the same thing you'd have gotten from IN (except always with unknownEqFalse = true, so as to get the proper semantics for an EXISTS). I believe this fixes the last case within CVS HEAD in which an EXISTS could give worse performance than an equivalent IN subquery. The tricky part of this is that if the upper query probes the EXISTS for only a few rows, the hashing implementation can actually be worse than the default, and therefore we need to make a cost-based decision about which way to use. But at the time when the planner generates plans for subqueries, it doesn't really know how many times the subquery will be executed. The least invasive solution seems to be to generate both plans and postpone the choice until execution. Therefore, in a query that has been optimized this way, EXPLAIN will show two subplans for the EXISTS, of which only one will actually get executed. There is a lot more that could be done based on this infrastructure: in particular it's interesting to consider switching to the hash plan if we start out using the non-hashed plan but find a lot more upper rows going by than we expected. I have therefore left some minor inefficiencies in place, such as initializing both subplans even though we will currently only use one.
* Fix pull_up_simple_union_all to copy all rtable entries from child subquery toHeikki Linnakangas2008-08-14
| | | | | | | parent, not only those with RangeTblRefs. We need them in ExecCheckRTPerms. Report by Brendan O'Shea. Back-patch to 8.2, where pull_up_simple_union_all was introduced.
* Implement SEMI and ANTI joins in the planner and executor. (Semijoins replaceTom Lane2008-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | the old JOIN_IN code, but antijoins are new functionality.) Teach the planner to convert appropriate EXISTS and NOT EXISTS subqueries into semi and anti joins respectively. Also, LEFT JOINs with suitable upper-level IS NULL filters are recognized as being anti joins. Unify the InClauseInfo and OuterJoinInfo infrastructure into "SpecialJoinInfo". With that change, it becomes possible to associate a SpecialJoinInfo with every join attempt, which permits some cleanup of join selectivity estimation. That needs to be taken much further than this patch does, but the next step is to change the API for oprjoin selectivity functions, which seems like material for a separate patch. So for the moment the output size estimates for semi and especially anti joins are quite bogus.
* Introduce the concept of relation forks. An smgr relation can now consistHeikki Linnakangas2008-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of multiple forks, and each fork can be created and grown separately. The bulk of this patch is about changing the smgr API to include an extra ForkNumber argument in every smgr function. Also, smgrscheduleunlink and smgrdounlink no longer implicitly call smgrclose, because other forks might still exist after unlinking one. The callers of those functions have been modified to call smgrclose instead. This patch in itself doesn't have any user-visible effect, but provides the infrastructure needed for upcoming patches. The additional forks envisioned are a rewritten FSM implementation that doesn't rely on a fixed-size shared memory block, and a visibility map to allow skipping portions of a table in VACUUM that have no dead tuples.
* Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera2008-06-19
| | | | | | | corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.
* Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera2008-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.
* Move the HTSU_Result enum definition into snapshot.h, to avoid includingAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | tqual.h into heapam.h. This makes all inclusion of tqual.h explicit. I also sorted alphabetically the includes on some source files.
* Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane2008-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane

* Make eval_const_expressions() preserve typmod when simplifying something likeTom Lane2007-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | null::char(3) to a simple Const node. (It already worked for non-null values, but not when we skipped evaluation of a strict coercion function.) This prevents loss of typmod knowledge in situations such as exhibited in bug #3598. Unfortunately there seems no good way to fix that bug in 8.1 and 8.2, because they simply don't carry a typmod for a plain Const node. In passing I made all the other callers of makeNullConst supply "real" typmod values too, though I think it probably doesn't matter anywhere else.
* Fix a couple of misbehaviors rooted in the fact that the default creationTom Lane2007-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | namespace isn't necessarily first in the search path (there could be implicit schemas ahead of it). Examples are test=# set search_path TO s1; test=# create view pg_timezone_names as select * from pg_timezone_names(); ERROR: "pg_timezone_names" is already a view test=# create table pg_class (f1 int primary key); ERROR: permission denied: "pg_class" is a system catalog You'd expect these commands to create the requested objects in s1, since names beginning with pg_ aren't supposed to be reserved anymore. What is happening is that we create the requested base table and then execute additional commands (here, CREATE RULE or CREATE INDEX), and that code is passed the same RangeVar that was in the original command. Since that RangeVar has schemaname = NULL, the secondary commands think they should do a path search, and that means they find system catalogs that are implicitly in front of s1 in the search path. This is perilously close to being a security hole: if the secondary command failed to apply a permission check then it'd be possible for unprivileged users to make schema modifications to system catalogs. But as far as I can find, there is no code path in which a check doesn't occur. Which makes it just a weird corner-case bug for people who are silly enough to want to name their tables the same as a system catalog. The relevant code has changed quite a bit since 8.2, which means this patch wouldn't work as-is in the back branches. Since it's a corner case no one has reported from the field, I'm not going to bother trying to back-patch.
* Separate parse-analysis for utility commands out of parser/analyze.cTom Lane2007-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (which now deals only in optimizable statements), and put that code into a new file parser/parse_utilcmd.c. This helps clarify and enforce the design rule that utility statements shouldn't be processed during the regular parse analysis phase; all interpretation of their meaning should happen after they are given to ProcessUtility to execute. (We need this because we don't retain any locks for a utility statement that's in a plan cache, nor have any way to detect that it's stale.) We are also able to simplify the API for parse_analyze() and related routines, because they will now always return exactly one Query structure. In passing, fix bug #3403 concerning trying to add a serial column to an existing temp table (this is largely Heikki's work, but we needed all that restructuring to make it safe).
* Support UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name, per SQL standard.Tom Lane2007-06-11
| | | | | | | | | Along the way, allow FOR UPDATE in non-WITH-HOLD cursors; there may once have been a reason to disallow that, but it seems to work now, and it's really rather necessary if you want to select a row via a cursor and then update it in a concurrent-safe fashion. Original patch by Arul Shaji, rather heavily editorialized by Tom Lane.
* Modify processing of DECLARE CURSOR and EXPLAIN so that they can resolve theTom Lane2007-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | types of unspecified parameters when submitted via extended query protocol. This worked in 8.2 but I had broken it during plancache changes. DECLARE CURSOR is now treated almost exactly like a plain SELECT through parse analysis, rewrite, and planning; only just before sending to the executor do we divert it away to ProcessUtility. This requires a special-case check in a number of places, but practically all of them were already special-casing SELECT INTO, so it's not too ugly. (Maybe it would be a good idea to merge the two by treating IntoClause as a form of utility statement? Not going to worry about that now, though.) That approach doesn't work for EXPLAIN, however, so for that I punted and used a klugy solution of running parse analysis an extra time if under extended query protocol.
* Changes pg_trigger and extend pg_rewrite in order to allow triggers andJan Wieck2007-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rules to be defined with different, per session controllable, behaviors for replication purposes. This will allow replication systems like Slony-I and, as has been stated on pgsql-hackers, other products to control the firing mechanism of triggers and rewrite rules without modifying the system catalog directly. The firing mechanisms are controlled by a new superuser-only GUC variable, session_replication_role, together with a change to pg_trigger.tgenabled and a new column pg_rewrite.ev_enabled. Both columns are a single char data type now (tgenabled was a bool before). The possible values in these attributes are: 'O' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "origin" (default) or "local". This is the default behavior. 'D' - Trigger/Rule is disabled and fires never 'A' - Trigger/Rule fires always regardless of the setting of session_replication_role 'R' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "replica" The GUC variable can only be changed as long as the system does not have any cached query plans. This will prevent changing the session role and accidentally executing stored procedures or functions that have plans cached that expand to the wrong query set due to differences in the rule firing semantics. The SQL syntax for changing a triggers/rules firing semantics is ALTER TABLE <tabname> <when> TRIGGER|RULE <name>; <when> ::= ENABLE | ENABLE ALWAYS | ENABLE REPLICA | DISABLE psql's \d command as well as pg_dump are extended in a backward compatible fashion.

* Fix up the remaining places where the expression node structure would loseTom Lane2007-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | available information about the typmod of an expression; namely, Const, ArrayRef, ArrayExpr, and EXPR and ARRAY SubLinks. In the ArrayExpr and SubLink cases it wasn't really the data structure's fault, but exprTypmod() being lazy. This seems like a good idea in view of the expected increase in typmod usage from Teodor's work to allow user-defined types to have typmods. In particular this responds to the concerns we had about eliminating the special-purpose hack that exprTypmod() used to have for BPCHAR Consts. We can now tell whether or not such a Const has been cast to a specific length, and report or display properly if so. initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.
* First phase of plan-invalidation project: create a plan cache managementTom Lane2007-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | module and teach PREPARE and protocol-level prepared statements to use it. In service of this, rearrange utility-statement processing so that parse analysis does not assume table schemas can't change before execution for utility statements (necessary because we don't attempt to re-acquire locks for utility statements when reusing a stored plan). This requires some refactoring of the ProcessUtility API, but it ends up cleaner anyway, for instance we can get rid of the QueryContext global. Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to try to make SQL functions use it too. Also, there are at least some aspects of system state that we want to ensure remain the same during a replan as in the original processing; search_path certainly ought to behave that way for instance, and perhaps there are others.
* Fix markQueryForLocking() to work correctly in the presence of nested views.Tom Lane2007-03-01
| | | | | It has been wrong for this case since it was first written for 7.1 :-( Per report from Pavel HanĂ¡k.
