* Fix breakage of MV column name list usage.Kevin Grittner2013-11-04
| | | | | | Per bug report from Tomonari Katsumata. Back-patch to 9.3.
* Allow only some columns of a view to be auto-updateable.Robert Haas2013-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, unless all columns were auto-updateable, we wouldn't inserts, updates, or deletes, or at least not without a rule or trigger; now, we'll allow inserts and updates that target only the auto-updateable columns, and deletes even if there are no auto-updateable columns at all provided the view definition is otherwise suitable. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Marko Tiikkaja
* Eliminate pg_rewrite.ev_attr column and related dead code.Kevin Grittner2013-09-05
| | | | | | | | Commit 95ef6a344821655ce4d0a74999ac49dd6af6d342 removed the ability to create rules on an individual column as of 7.3, but left some residual code which has since been useless. This cleans up that dead code without any change in behavior other than dropping the useless column from the catalog.
* Improve error message when view is not updatablePeter Eisentraut2013-08-14
| | | | | Avoid using the term "updatable" in confusing ways. Suggest a trigger first, before a rule.
* Move strip_implicit_coercions() from optimizer to nodeFuncs.c.Tom Lane2013-07-23
| | | | | | | | Use of this function has spread into the parser and rewriter, so it seems like time to pull it out of the optimizer and put it into the more central nodeFuncs module. This eliminates the need to #include optimizer/clauses.h in most of the calling files, demonstrating that this function was indeed a bit outside the normal code reference patterns.
* Change post-rewriter representation of dropped columns in joinaliasvars.Tom Lane2013-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN. Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE() still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code. In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h, which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.
* WITH CHECK OPTION support for auto-updatable VIEWsStephen Frost2013-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For simple views which are automatically updatable, this patch allows the user to specify what level of checking should be done on records being inserted or updated. For 'LOCAL CHECK', new tuples are validated against the conditionals of the view they are being inserted into, while for 'CASCADED CHECK' the new tuples are validated against the conditionals for all views involved (from the top down). This option is part of the SQL specification. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Pavel Stehule
* Update messages, comments and documentation for materialized views.Noah Misch2013-07-05
| | | | | All instances of the verbiage lagging the code. Back-patch to 9.3, where materialized views were introduced.
* Get rid of pg_class.reltoastidxid.Fujii Masao2013-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | Treat TOAST index just the same as normal one and get the OID of TOAST index from pg_index but not pg_class.reltoastidxid. This change allows us to handle multiple TOAST indexes, and which is required infrastructure for upcoming REINDEX CONCURRENTLY feature. Patch by Michael Paquier, reviewed by Andres Freund and me.
* Fix handling of auto-updatable views on inherited tables.Tom Lane2013-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | An INSERT into such a view should work just like an INSERT into its base table, ie the insertion should go directly into that table ... not be duplicated into each child table, as was happening before, per bug #8275 from Rushabh Lathia. On the other hand, the current behavior for UPDATE/DELETE seems reasonable: the update/delete traverses the child tables, or not, depending on whether the view specifies ONLY or not. Add some regression tests covering this area. Dean Rasheed
* Use an MVCC snapshot, rather than SnapshotNow, for catalog scans.Robert Haas2013-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SnapshotNow scans have the undesirable property that, in the face of concurrent updates, the scan can fail to see either the old or the new versions of the row. In many cases, we work around this by requiring DDL operations to hold AccessExclusiveLock on the object being modified; in some cases, the existing locking is inadequate and random failures occur as a result. This commit doesn't change anything related to locking, but will hopefully pave the way to allowing lock strength reductions in the future. The major issue has held us back from making this change in the past is that taking an MVCC snapshot is significantly more expensive than using a static special snapshot such as SnapshotNow. However, testing of various worst-case scenarios reveals that this problem is not severe except under fairly extreme workloads. To mitigate those problems, we avoid retaking the MVCC snapshot for each new scan; instead, we take a new snapshot only when invalidation messages have been processed. The catcache machinery already requires that invalidation messages be sent before releasing the related heavyweight lock; else other backends might rely on locally-cached data rather than scanning the catalog at all. Thus, making snapshot reuse dependent on the same guarantees shouldn't break anything that wasn't already subtly broken. Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier and Andres Freund.
* Improve updatability checking for views and foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the FDW API (which we already changed for 9.3) so that an FDW can report whether specific foreign tables are insertable/updatable/deletable. The default assumption continues to be that they're updatable if the relevant executor callback function is supplied by the FDW, but finer granularity is now possible. As a test case, add an "updatable" option to contrib/postgres_fdw. This patch also fixes the information_schema views, which previously did not think that foreign tables were ever updatable, and fixes view_is_auto_updatable() so that a view on a foreign table can be auto-updatable. initdb forced due to changes in information_schema views and the functions they rely on. This is a bit unfortunate to do post-beta1, but if we don't change this now then we'll have another API break for FDWs when we do change it. Dean Rasheed, somewhat editorialized on by Tom Lane
* pgindent run for release 9.3Bruce Momjian2013-05-29
| | | | | This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script. Also update pgindent instructions.
* 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.
* Add serial commaPeter Eisentraut2013-04-14

* Create a distinction between a populated matview and a scannable one.Kevin Grittner2013-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intent was that being populated would, long term, be just one of the conditions which could affect whether a matview was scannable; being populated should be necessary but not always sufficient to scan the relation. Since only CREATE and REFRESH currently determine the scannability, names and comments accidentally conflated these concepts, leading to confusion. Also add missing locking for the SQL function which allows a test for scannability, and fix a modularity violatiion. Per complaints from Tom Lane, although its not clear that these will satisfy his concerns. Hopefully this will at least better frame the discussion.
* Extend object-access hook machinery to support post-alter events.Robert Haas2013-03-17
| | | | | | | This also slightly widens the scope of what we support in terms of post-create events. KaiGai Kohei, with a few changes, mostly to the comments, by me
* Revert unnecessary change in MV call to checkRuleResultList().Kevin Grittner2013-03-14
| | | | | | | | | Due to a misreading of the function's comment block, there was an unneeded change to a call in rewriteDefine.c. There is, in fact no reason to pass false for a MV; it should be true just like a view. Fixes issue pointed out by Tom Lane
* Fix thinko in matview patch.Tom Lane2013-03-11
| | | | | | | "break" instead of "continue" suppressed view expansion for views appearing later in the range table. Per report from Erikjan Rijkers. While at it, improve the associated comment a bit.
* Support writable foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic functionality there now. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov and Laurenz Albe, and rather heavily revised by Tom Lane.

* Add a materialized view relations.Kevin Grittner2013-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to populate the table, references in queries refer to the materialized data. This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of references to underlying tables, but that requires the other above-mentioned features to be working first. Much of the documentation work by Robert Haas. Review by Noah Misch, Thom Brown, Robert Haas, Marko Tiikkaja Security review by KaiGai Kohei, with a decision on how best to implement sepgsql still pending.
* Get rid of any toast table when converting a table to a view.Tom Lane2013-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Also make sure other fields of the view's pg_class entry are appropriate for a view; it shouldn't have relfrozenxid set for instance. This ancient omission isn't believed to have any serious consequences in versions 8.4-9.2, so no backpatch. But let's fix it before it does bite us in some serious way. It's just luck that the case doesn't cause problems for autovacuum. (It did cause problems in 8.3, but that's out of support.) Andres Freund
* Add support for ALTER RULE ... RENAME TO.Tom Lane2013-02-08

* Improve concurrency of foreign key lockingAlvaro Herrera2013-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces two additional lock modes for tuples: "SELECT FOR KEY SHARE" and "SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE". These don't block each other, in contrast with already existing "SELECT FOR SHARE" and "SELECT FOR UPDATE". UPDATE commands that do not modify the values stored in the columns that are part of the key of the tuple now grab a SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE lock on the tuple, allowing them to proceed concurrently with tuple locks of the FOR KEY SHARE variety. Foreign key triggers now use FOR KEY SHARE instead of FOR SHARE; this means the concurrency improvement applies to them, which is the whole point of this patch. The added tuple lock semantics require some rejiggering of the multixact module, so that the locking level that each transaction is holding can be stored alongside its Xid. Also, multixacts now need to persist across server restarts and crashes, because they can now represent not only tuple locks, but also tuple updates. This means we need more careful tracking of lifetime of pg_multixact SLRU files; since they now persist longer, we require more infrastructure to figure out when they can be removed. pg_upgrade also needs to be careful to copy pg_multixact files over from the old server to the new, or at least part of multixact.c state, depending on the versions of the old and new servers. Tuple time qualification rules (HeapTupleSatisfies routines) need to be careful not to consider tuples with the "is multi" infomask bit set as being only locked; they might need to look up MultiXact values (i.e. possibly do pg_multixact I/O) to find out the Xid that updated a tuple, whereas they previously were assured to only use information readily available from the tuple header. This is considered acceptable, because the extra I/O would involve cases that would previously cause some commands to block waiting for concurrent transactions to finish. Another important change is the fact that locking tuples that have previously been updated causes the future versions to be marked as locked, too; this is essential for correctness of foreign key checks. This causes additional WAL-logging, also (there was previously a single WAL record for a locked tuple; now there are as many as updated copies of the tuple there exist.) With all this in place, contention related to tuples being checked by foreign key rules should be much reduced. As a bonus, the old behavior that a subtransaction grabbing a stronger tuple lock than the parent (sub)transaction held on a given tuple and later aborting caused the weaker lock to be lost, has been fixed. Many new spec files were added for isolation tester framework, to ensure overall behavior is sane. There's probably room for several more tests. There were several reviewers of this patch; in particular, Noah Misch and Andres Freund spent considerable time in it. Original idea for the patch came from Simon Riggs, after a problem report by Joel Jacobson. Most code is from me, with contributions from Marti Raudsepp, Alexander Shulgin, Noah Misch and Andres Freund. This patch was discussed in several pgsql-hackers threads; the most important start at the following message-ids: AANLkTimo9XVcEzfiBR-ut3KVNDkjm2Vxh+t8kAmWjPuv@mail.gmail.com 1290721684-sup-3951@alvh.no-ip.org 1294953201-sup-2099@alvh.no-ip.org 1320343602-sup-2290@alvh.no-ip.org 1339690386-sup-8927@alvh.no-ip.org 4FE5FF020200002500048A3D@gw.wicourts.gov 4FEAB90A0200002500048B7D@gw.wicourts.gov
* Update copyrights for 2013Bruce Momjian2013-01-01

* Adjust more backend functions to return OID rather than void.Robert Haas2012-12-29
| | | | | | | | | This is again intended to support extensions to the event trigger functionality. This may go a bit further than we need for that purpose, but there's some value in being consistent, and the OID may be useful for other purposes also. Dimitri Fontaine
* Support automatically-updatable views.Tom Lane2012-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes "simple" views automatically updatable, without the need to create either INSTEAD OF triggers or INSTEAD rules. "Simple" views are those classified as updatable according to SQL-92 rules. The rewriter transforms INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands on such views directly into an equivalent command on the underlying table, which will generally have noticeably better performance than is possible with either triggers or user-written rules. A view that has INSTEAD OF triggers or INSTEAD rules continues to operate the same as before. For the moment, security_barrier views are not considered simple. Also, we do not support WITH CHECK OPTION. These features may be added in future. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Amit Kapila
* Rename ResolveNew() to ReplaceVarsFromTargetList(), and tweak its API.Tom Lane2012-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function currently lacks the option to throw error if the provided targetlist doesn't have any matching entry for a Var to be replaced. Two of the four existing call sites would be better off with an error, as would the usage in the pending auto-updatable-views patch, so it seems past time to extend the API to support that. To do so, replace the "event" parameter (historically of type CmdType, though it was declared plain int) with a special-purpose enum type. It's unclear whether this function might be called by third-party code. Since many C compilers wouldn't warn about a call site continuing to use the old calling convention, rename the function to forcibly break any such code that hasn't been updated. The old name was none too well chosen anyhow.
* When converting a table to a view, remove its system columns.Tom Lane2012-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Views should not have any pg_attribute entries for system columns. However, we forgot to remove such entries when converting a table to a view. This could lead to crashes later on, if someone attempted to reference such a column, as reported by Kohei KaiGai. Patch in HEAD only. This bug has been there forever, but in the back branches we will have to defend against existing mis-converted views, so it doesn't seem worthwhile to change the conversion code too.
* Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.
* Fix up planner infrastructure to support LATERAL properly.Tom Lane2012-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch takes care of a number of problems having to do with failure to choose valid join orders and incorrect handling of lateral references pulled up from subqueries. Notable changes: * Add a LateralJoinInfo data structure similar to SpecialJoinInfo, to represent join ordering constraints created by lateral references. (I first considered extending the SpecialJoinInfo structure, but the semantics are different enough that a separate data structure seems better.) Extend join_is_legal() and related functions to prevent trying to form unworkable joins, and to ensure that we will consider joins that satisfy lateral references even if the joins would be clauseless. * Fill in the infrastructure needed for the last few types of relation scan paths to support parameterization. We'd have wanted this eventually anyway, but it is necessary now because a relation that gets pulled up out of a UNION ALL subquery may acquire a reltargetlist containing lateral references, meaning that its paths *have* to be parameterized whether or not we have any code that can push join quals down into the scan. * Compute data about lateral references early in query_planner(), and save in RelOptInfo nodes, to avoid repetitive calculations later. * Assorted corner-case bug fixes. There's probably still some bugs left, but this is a lot closer to being real than it was before.
* Centralize the logic for detecting misplaced aggregates, window funcs, etc.Tom Lane2012-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly we relied on checking after-the-fact to see if an expression contained aggregates, window functions, or sub-selects when it shouldn't. This is grotty, easily forgotten (indeed, we had forgotten to teach DefineIndex about rejecting window functions), and none too efficient since it requires extra traversals of the parse tree. To improve matters, define an enum type that classifies all SQL sub-expressions, store it in ParseState to show what kind of expression we are currently parsing, and make transformAggregateCall, transformWindowFuncCall, and transformSubLink check the expression type and throw error if the type indicates the construct is disallowed. This allows removal of a large number of ad-hoc checks scattered around the code base. The enum type is sufficiently fine-grained that we can still produce error messages of at least the same specificity as before. Bringing these error checks together revealed that we'd been none too consistent about phrasing of the error messages, so standardize the wording a bit. Also, rewrite checking of aggregate arguments so that it requires only one traversal of the arguments, rather than up to three as before. In passing, clean up some more comments left over from add_missing_from support, and annotate some tests that I think are dead code now that that's gone. (I didn't risk actually removing said dead code, though.)
* Prevent CREATE TABLE LIKE/INHERITS from (mis) copying whole-row Vars.Tom Lane2012-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a CHECK constraint or index definition contained a whole-row Var (that is, "table.*"), an attempt to copy that definition via CREATE TABLE LIKE or table inheritance produced incorrect results: the copied Var still claimed to have the rowtype of the source table, rather than the created table. For the LIKE case, it seems reasonable to just throw error for this situation, since the point of LIKE is that the new table is not permanently coupled to the old, so there's no reason to assume its rowtype will stay compatible. In the inheritance case, we should ideally allow such constraints, but doing so will require nontrivial refactoring of CREATE TABLE processing (because we'd need to know the OID of the new table's rowtype before we adjust inherited CHECK constraints). In view of the lack of previous complaints, that doesn't seem worth the risk in a back-patched bug fix, so just make it throw error for the inheritance case as well. Along the way, replace change_varattnos_of_a_node() with a more robust function map_variable_attnos(), which is capable of being extended to handle insertion of ConvertRowtypeExpr whenever we get around to fixing the inheritance case nicely, and in the meantime it returns a failure indication to the caller so that a helpful message with some context can be thrown. Also, this code will do the right thing with subselects (if we ever allow them in CHECK or indexes), and it range-checks varattnos before using them to index into the map array. Per report from Sergey Konoplev. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Run pgindent on 9.2 source tree in preparation for first 9.3Bruce Momjian2012-06-10

* Add some infrastructure for contrib/pg_stat_statements.Tom Lane2012-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a queryId field to Query and PlannedStmt. This is not used by the core backend, except for being copied around at appropriate times. It's meant to allow plug-ins to track a particular query forward from parse analysis to execution. The queryId is intentionally not dumped into stored rules (and hence this commit doesn't bump catversion). You could argue that choice either way, but it seems better that stored rule strings not have any dependency on plug-ins that might or might not be present. Also, add a post_parse_analyze_hook that gets invoked at the end of parse analysis (but only for top-level analysis of complete queries, not cases such as analyzing a domain's default-value expression). This is mainly meant to be used to compute and assign a queryId, but it could have other applications. Peter Geoghegan
* 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. Andres Freund and Tom Lane
* Extend object access hook framework to support arguments, and DROP.Robert Haas2012-03-09
| | | | | | | | | This allows loadable modules to get control at drop time, perhaps for the purpose of performing additional security checks or to log the event. The initial purpose of this code is to support sepgsql, but other applications should be possible as well. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by me.

* Add a security_barrier option for views.Robert Haas2011-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a view is marked as a security barrier, it will not be pulled up into the containing query, and no quals will be pushed down into it, so that no function or operator chosen by the user can be applied to rows not exposed by the view. Views not configured with this option cannot provide robust row-level security, but will perform far better. Patch by KaiGai Kohei; original problem report by Heikki Linnakangas (in October 2009!). Review (in earlier versions) by Noah Misch and others. Design advice by Tom Lane and myself. Further review and cleanup by me.
* Improve table locking behavior in the face of current DDL.Robert Haas2011-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, callers were faced with an awkward choice: look up the name, do permissions checks, and then lock the table; or look up the name, lock the table, and then do permissions checks. The first choice was wrong because the results of the name lookup and permissions checks might be out-of-date by the time the table lock was acquired, while the second allowed a user with no privileges to interfere with access to a table by users who do have privileges (e.g. if a malicious backend queues up for an AccessExclusiveLock on a table on which AccessShareLock is already held, further attempts to access the table will be blocked until the AccessExclusiveLock is obtained and the malicious backend's transaction rolls back). To fix, allow callers of RangeVarGetRelid() to pass a callback which gets executed after performing the name lookup but before acquiring the relation lock. If the name lookup is retried (because invalidation messages are received), the callback will be re-executed as well, so we get the best of both worlds. RangeVarGetRelid() is renamed to RangeVarGetRelidExtended(); callers not wishing to supply a callback can continue to invoke it as RangeVarGetRelid(), which is now a macro. Since the only one caller that uses nowait = true now passes a callback anyway, the RangeVarGetRelid() macro defaults nowait as well. The callback can also be used for supplemental locking - for example, REINDEX INDEX needs to acquire the table lock before the index lock to reduce deadlock possibilities. There's a lot more work to be done here to fix all the cases where this can be a problem, but this commit provides the general infrastructure and fixes the following specific cases: REINDEX INDEX, REINDEX TABLE, LOCK TABLE, and and DROP TABLE/INDEX/SEQUENCE/VIEW/FOREIGN TABLE. Per discussion with Noah Misch and Alvaro Herrera.
* Ensure that whole-row junk Vars are always of composite type.Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.) To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases. This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared. In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example: regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x; ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function
* Further consolidation of DROP statement handling.Robert Haas2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of an impressive amount of duplicative code, with only minimal behavior changes. DROP FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER now requires object ownership rather than superuser privileges, matching the documentation we already have. We also eliminate the historical warning about dropping a built-in function as unuseful. All operations are now performed in the same order for all object types handled by dropcmds.c. KaiGai Kohei, with minor revisions by me
* More cleanup after failed reduced-lock-levels-for-DDL feature.Tom Lane2011-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that use of ShareUpdateExclusiveLock or ShareRowExclusiveLock to protect DDL changes had gotten copied into several places that were not touched by either of Simon's original patches for the feature, and thus neither he nor I thought to revert them. (Indeed, it appears that two of these uses were committed *after* the reversion, which just goes to show that git merging is no panacea.) Change these places to use AccessExclusiveLock again. If we ever manage to resurrect that feature, we're going to have to think a bit harder about how to keep lock level usage in sync for DDL operations that aren't within the AlterTable infrastructure. Two of these bugs are only in HEAD, but one is in the 9.1 branch too. Alvaro found one of them, I found the other two.
* Rearrange planner to save the whole PlannerInfo (subroot) for a subquery.Tom Lane2011-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, set_subquery_pathlist and other creators of plans for subqueries saved only the rangetable and rowMarks lists from the lower-level PlannerInfo. But there's no reason not to remember the whole PlannerInfo, and indeed this turns out to simplify matters in a number of places. The immediate reason for doing this was so that the subroot will still be accessible when we're trying to extract column statistics out of an already-planned subquery. But now that I've done it, it seems like a good code-beautification effort in its own right. I also chose to get rid of the transient subrtable and subrowmark fields in SubqueryScan nodes, in favor of having setrefs.c look up the subquery's RelOptInfo. That required changing all the APIs in setrefs.c to pass PlannerInfo not PlannerGlobal, which was a large but quite mechanical transformation. One side-effect not foreseen at the beginning is that this finally broke inheritance_planner's assumption that replanning the same subquery RTE N times would necessarily give interchangeable results each time. That assumption was always pretty risky, but now we really have to make a separate RTE for each instance so that there's a place to carry the separate subroots.

* Try to acquire relation locks in RangeVarGetRelid.Robert Haas2011-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, we would look up a relation in RangeVarGetRelid, lock the resulting OID, and then AcceptInvalidationMessages(). While this was sufficient to ensure that we noticed any changes to the relation definition before building the relcache entry, it didn't handle the possibility that the name we looked up no longer referenced the same OID. This was particularly problematic in the case where a table had been dropped and recreated: we'd latch on to the entry for the old relation and fail later on. Now, we acquire the relation lock inside RangeVarGetRelid, and retry the name lookup if we notice that invalidation messages have been processed meanwhile. Many operations that would previously have failed with an error in the presence of concurrent DDL will now succeed. There is a good deal of work remaining to be done here: many callers of RangeVarGetRelid still pass NoLock for one reason or another. In addition, nothing in this patch guards against the possibility that the meaning of an unqualified name might change due to the creation of a relation in a schema earlier in the user's search path than the one where it was previously found. Furthermore, there's nothing at all here to guard against similar race conditions for non-relations. For all that, it's a start. Noah Misch and Robert Haas
