* Move Timestamp/Interval typedefs and basic macros into datatype/timestamp.h.Tom Lane2011-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | As per my recent proposal, this refactors things so that these typedefs and macros are available in a header that can be included in frontend-ish code. I also changed various headers that were undesirably including utils/timestamp.h to include datatype/timestamp.h instead. Unsurprisingly, this showed that half the system was getting utils/timestamp.h by way of xlog.h. No actual code changes here, just header refactoring.

* Change the autovacuum launcher to use WaitLatch instead of a poll loop.Tom Lane2011-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pursuit of this (and with the expectation that WaitLatch will be needed in more places), convert the latch field that was already added to PGPROC for sync rep into a generic latch that is activated for all PGPROC-owning processes, and change many of the standard backend signal handlers to set that latch when a signal happens. This will allow WaitLatch callers to be wakened properly by these signals. In passing, fix a whole bunch of signal handlers that had been hacked to do things that might change errno, without adding the necessary save/restore logic for errno. Also make some minor fixes in unix_latch.c, and clean up bizarre and unsafe scheme for disowning the process's latch. Much of this has to be back-patched into 9.1. Peter Geoghegan, with additional work by Tom
* Avoid index rebuild for no-rewrite ALTER TABLE .. ALTER TYPE.Robert Haas2011-07-18
| | | | Noah Misch. Review and minor cosmetic changes by me.
* Replace errdetail("%s", ...) with errdetail_internal("%s", ...).Tom Lane2011-07-16
| | | | | | There may be some other places where we should use errdetail_internal, but they'll have to be evaluated case-by-case. This commit just hits a bunch of places where invoking gettext is obviously a waste of cycles.
* 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
* Enable CHECK constraints to be declared NOT VALIDAlvaro Herrera2011-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This means that they can initially be added to a large existing table without checking its initial contents, but new tuples must comply to them; a separate pass invoked by ALTER TABLE / VALIDATE can verify existing data and ensure it complies with the constraint, at which point it is marked validated and becomes a normal part of the table ecosystem. An non-validated CHECK constraint is ignored in the planner for constraint_exclusion purposes; when validated, cached plans are recomputed so that partitioning starts working right away. This patch also enables domains to have unvalidated CHECK constraints attached to them as well by way of ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT / NOT VALID, which can later be validated with ALTER DOMAIN / VALIDATE CONSTRAINT. Thanks to Thom Brown, Dean Rasheed and Jaime Casanova for the various reviews, and Robert Hass for documentation wording improvement suggestions. This patch was sponsored by Enova Financial.
* Unify spelling of "canceled", "canceling", "cancellation"Peter Eisentraut2011-06-29

* Refactor broken CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS support.Robert Haas2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per bug #5988, reported by Marko Tiikkaja, and further analyzed by Tom Lane, the previous coding was broken in several respects: even if the target table already existed, a subsequent CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS might try to add additional constraints or sequences-for-serial specified in the new CREATE TABLE statement. In passing, this also fixes a minor information leak: it's no longer possible to figure out whether a schema to which you don't have CREATE access contains a sequence named like "x_y_seq" by attempting to create a table in that schema called "x" with a serial column called "y". Some more refactoring of this code in the future might be warranted, but that will need to wait for a later major release.
* Add postmaster/postgres undocumented -b option for binary upgrades.Bruce Momjian2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | This option turns off autovacuum, prevents non-super-user connections, and enables oid setting hooks in the backend. The code continues to use the old autoavacuum disable settings for servers with earlier catalog versions. This includes a catalog version bump to identify servers that support the -b option.

* 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...

* Revise the API for GUC variable assign hooks.Tom Lane2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't. Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the "canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do an actual assignment. And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without restarting the server". There may be some speed advantage too, because this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed representation of the value instead). This patch also resolves a longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message about "invalid parameter value".
* Fix various possible problems with synchronous replication.Robert Haas2011-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Don't ignore query cancel interrupts. Instead, if the user asks to cancel the query after we've already committed it, but before it's on the standby, just emit a warning and let the COMMIT finish. 2. Don't ignore die interrupts (pg_terminate_backend or fast shutdown). Instead, emit a warning message and close the connection without acknowledging the commit. Other backends will still see the effect of the commit, but there's no getting around that; it's too late to abort at this point, and ignoring die interrupts altogether doesn't seem like a good idea. 3. If synchronous_standby_names becomes empty, wake up all backends waiting for synchronous replication to complete. Without this, someone attempting to shut synchronous replication off could easily wedge the entire system instead. 4. Avoid depending on the assumption that if a walsender updates MyProc->syncRepState, we'll see the change even if we read it without holding the lock. The window for this appears to be quite narrow (and probably doesn't exist at all on machines with strong memory ordering) but protecting against it is practically free, so do that. 5. Remove useless state SYNC_REP_MUST_DISCONNECT, which isn't needed and doesn't actually do anything. There's still some further work needed here to make the behavior of fast shutdown plausible, but that looks complex, so I'm leaving it for a separate commit. Review by Fujii Masao.
* Run a portal's cleanup hook immediately when pushing it to DONE state.Tom Lane2011-03-03
| | | | | | | | | This works around the problem noted by Yamamoto Takashi in bug #5906, that there were code paths whereby we could reach AtCleanup_Portals with a portal's cleanup hook still unexecuted. The changes I made a few days ago were intended to prevent that from happening, and I think that on balance it's still a good thing to avoid, so I don't want to remove the Assert in AtCleanup_Portals. Hence do this instead.
* Rearrange snapshot handling to make rule expansion more consistent.Tom Lane2011-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch, portals, SQL functions, and SPI all agree that there should be only a CommandCounterIncrement between the queries that are generated from a single SQL command by rule expansion. Fetching a whole new snapshot now happens only between original queries. This is equivalent to the existing behavior of EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and it was judged to be the best choice since it eliminates one source of concurrency hazards for rules. The patch should also make things marginally faster by reducing the number of snapshot push/pop operations. The patch removes pg_parse_and_rewrite(), which is no longer used anywhere. There was considerable discussion about more aggressive refactoring of the query-processing functions exported by postgres.c, but for the moment nothing more has been done there. I also took the opportunity to refactor snapmgr.c's API slightly: the former PushUpdatedSnapshot() has been split into two functions. Marko Tiikkaja, reviewed by Steve Singer and Tom Lane
* 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.

* Add support for multiple versions of an extension and ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE.Tom Lane2011-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | This follows recent discussions, so it's quite a bit different from Dimitri's original. There will probably be more changes once we get a bit of experience with it, but let's get it in and start playing with it. This is still just core code. I'll start converting contrib modules shortly. Dimitri Fontaine and Tom Lane
* Extend "ALTER EXTENSION ADD object" to permit "DROP object" as well.Tom Lane2011-02-10
| | | | | Per discussion, this is something we should have sooner rather than later, and it doesn't take much additional code to support it.
* Implement "ALTER EXTENSION ADD object".Tom Lane2011-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | This is an essential component of making the extension feature usable; first because it's needed in the process of converting an existing installation containing "loose" objects of an old contrib module into the extension-based world, and second because we'll have to use it in pg_dump --binary-upgrade, as per recent discussion. Loosely based on part of Dimitri Fontaine's ALTER EXTENSION UPGRADE patch.
* Core support for "extensions", which are packages of SQL objects.Tom Lane2011-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions. There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make all the contrib modules depend on this feature. In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in AlterObjectNamespace() and callers. Dimitri Fontaine, reviewed by Anssi Kääriäinen, Itagaki Takahiro, Tom Lane, and numerous others
* Implement genuine serializable isolation level.Heikki Linnakangas2011-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, our Serializable mode has in fact been what's called Snapshot Isolation, which allows some anomalies that could not occur in any serialized ordering of the transactions. This patch fixes that using a method called Serializable Snapshot Isolation, based on research papers by Michael J. Cahill (see README-SSI for full references). In Serializable Snapshot Isolation, transactions run like they do in Snapshot Isolation, but a predicate lock manager observes the reads and writes performed and aborts transactions if it detects that an anomaly might occur. This method produces some false positives, ie. it sometimes aborts transactions even though there is no anomaly. To track reads we implement predicate locking, see storage/lmgr/predicate.c. Whenever a tuple is read, a predicate lock is acquired on the tuple. Shared memory is finite, so when a transaction takes many tuple-level locks on a page, the locks are promoted to a single page-level lock, and further to a single relation level lock if necessary. To lock key values with no matching tuple, a sequential scan always takes a relation-level lock, and an index scan acquires a page-level lock that covers the search key, whether or not there are any matching keys at the moment. A predicate lock doesn't conflict with any regular locks or with another predicate locks in the normal sense. They're only used by the predicate lock manager to detect the danger of anomalies. Only serializable transactions participate in predicate locking, so there should be no extra overhead for for other transactions. Predicate locks can't be released at commit, but must be remembered until all the transactions that overlapped with it have completed. That means that we need to remember an unbounded amount of predicate locks, so we apply a lossy but conservative method of tracking locks for committed transactions. If we run short of shared memory, we overflow to a new "pg_serial" SLRU pool. We don't currently allow Serializable transactions in Hot Standby mode. That would be hard, because even read-only transactions can cause anomalies that wouldn't otherwise occur. Serializable isolation mode now means the new fully serializable level. Repeatable Read gives you the old Snapshot Isolation level that we have always had. Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports, reviewed by Jeff Davis, Heikki Linnakangas and Anssi Kääriäinen

* Don't include <asm/ia64regs.h> unnecessarily.Tom Lane2011-01-27

* Basic foreign table support.Robert Haas2011-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables cannot yet be queried. Support for foreign table scans will need to be added in a future patch. However, this patch creates the necessary system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

* Remove optreset from src/port/ implementations of getopt and getopt_long.Tom Lane2010-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | We don't actually need optreset, because we can easily fix the code to ensure that it's cleanly restartable after having completed a scan over the argv array; which is the only case we need to restart in. Getting rid of it avoids a class of interactions with the system libraries and allows reversion of my change of yesterday in postmaster.c and postgres.c. Back-patch to 8.4. Before that the getopt code was a bit different anyway.
* Fix up getopt() reset management so it works on recent mingw.Tom Lane2010-12-15
| | | | | | | | | The mingw people don't appear to care about compatibility with non-GNU versions of getopt, so force use of our own copy of getopt on Windows. Also, ensure that we make use of optreset when using our own copy. Per report from Andrew Dunstan. Back-patch to all versions supported on Windows.
* Add more ALTER <object> .. SET SCHEMA commands.Robert Haas2010-11-26

* Add support for detecting register-stack overrun on IA64.Tom Lane2010-11-06
| | | | | | | | | Per recent investigation, the register stack can grow faster than the regular stack depending on compiler and choice of options. To avoid crashes we must check both stacks in check_stack_depth(). Since this is poorly-tested code, committing only to HEAD for the moment ... but we might want to consider back-patching later.
* Make get_stack_depth_rlimit() handle RLIM_INFINITY more sanely.Tom Lane2010-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than considering this result as meaning "unknown", report LONG_MAX. This won't change what superusers can set max_stack_depth to, but it will cause InitializeGUCOptions() to set the built-in default to 2MB not 100kB. The latter seems like a fairly unreasonable interpretation of "infinity". Per my investigation of odd buildfarm results as well as an old complaint from Heikki. Since this should persuade all the buildfarm animals to use a reasonable stack depth setting during "make check", revert previous patch that dumbed down a recursive regression test to only 5 levels.
* Include the current value of max_stack_depth in stack depth complaints.Tom Lane2010-11-04
| | | | | | | I'm mainly interested in finding out what it is on buildfarm machines, but including the active value in the message seems like good practice in any case. Add the info to the HINT, not the ERROR string, so as not to change the regression tests' expected output.
* Allow new values to be added to an existing enum type.Tom Lane2010-10-24

* Fix failure of "ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN c serial" when done by non-owner.Tom Lane2010-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implicitly created sequence was created as owned by the current user, who could be different from the table owner, eg if current user is a superuser or some member of the table's owning role. This caused sanity checks in the SEQUENCE OWNED BY code to spit up. Although possibly we don't need those sanity checks, the safest fix seems to be to make sure the implicit sequence is assigned the same owner role as the table has. (We still do all permissions checks as the current user, however.) Per report from Josh Berkus. Back-patch to 9.0. The bug goes back to the invention of SEQUENCE OWNED BY in 8.2, but the fix requires an API change for DefineRelation(), which seems to have potential for breaking third-party code if done in a minor release. Given the lack of prior complaints, it's probably not worth fixing in the stable branches.
