* Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund2018-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

* Introduce notion of different types of slots (without implementing them).Andres Freund2018-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upcoming work intends to allow pluggable ways to introduce new ways of storing table data. Accessing those table access methods from the executor requires TupleTableSlots to be carry tuples in the native format of such storage methods; otherwise there'll be a significant conversion overhead. Different access methods will require different data to store tuples efficiently (just like virtual, minimal, heap already require fields in TupleTableSlot). To allow that without requiring additional pointer indirections, we want to have different structs (embedding TupleTableSlot) for different types of slots. Thus different types of slots are needed, which requires adapting creators of slots. The slot that most efficiently can represent a type of tuple in an executor node will often depend on the type of slot a child node uses. Therefore we need to track the type of slot is returned by nodes, so parent slots can create slots based on that. Relatedly, JIT compilation of tuple deforming needs to know which type of slot a certain expression refers to, so it can create an appropriate deforming function for the type of tuple in the slot. But not all nodes will only return one type of slot, e.g. an append node will potentially return different types of slots for each of its subplans. Therefore add function that allows to query the type of a node's result slot, and whether it'll always be the same type (whether it's fixed). This can be queried using ExecGetResultSlotOps(). The scan, result, inner, outer type of slots are automatically inferred from ExecInitScanTupleSlot(), ExecInitResultSlot(), left/right subtrees respectively. If that's not correct for a node, that can be overwritten using new fields in PlanState. This commit does not introduce the actually abstracted implementation of different kind of TupleTableSlots, that will be left for a followup commit. The different types of slots introduced will, for now, still use the same backing implementation. While this already partially invalidates the big comment in tuptable.h, it seems to make more sense to update it later, when the different TupleTableSlot implementations actually exist.

* Server-side fix for delayed NOTIFY and SIGTERM processing.Tom Lane2018-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4f85fde8e introduced some code that was meant to ensure that we'd process cancel, die, sinval catchup, and notify interrupts while waiting for client input. But there was a flaw: it supposed that the process latch would be set upon arrival at secure_read() if any such interrupt was pending. In reality, we might well have cleared the process latch at some earlier point while those flags remained set -- particularly notifyInterruptPending, which can't be handled as long as we're within a transaction. To fix the NOTIFY case, also attempt to process signals (except ProcDiePending) before trying to read. Also, if we see that ProcDiePending is set before we read, forcibly set the process latch to ensure that we will handle that signal promptly if no data is available. I also made it set the process latch on the way out, in case there is similar logic elsewhere. (It remains true that we won't service ProcDiePending here unless we need to wait for input.) The code for handling ProcDiePending during a write needs those changes, too. Also be a little more careful about when to reset whereToSendOutput, and improve related comments. Back-patch to 9.5 where this code was added. I'm not entirely convinced that older branches don't have similar issues, but the complaint at hand is just about the >= 9.5 code.

* Refactor pid, random seed and start time initialization.Thomas Munro2018-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Background workers, including parallel workers, were generating the same sequence of numbers in random(). This showed up as DSM handle collisions when Parallel Hash created multiple segments, but any code that calls random() in background workers could be affected if it cares about different backends generating different numbers. Repair by making sure that all new processes initialize the seed at the same time as they set MyProcPid and MyStartTime in a new function InitProcessGlobals(), called by the postmaster, its children and also standalone processes. Also add a new high resolution MyStartTimestamp as a potentially useful by-product, and remove SessionStartTime from struct Port as it is now redundant. No back-patch for now, as the known consequences so far are just a bunch of harmless shm_open(O_EXCL) collisions.

* Mark constantly allocated dest receiver as const.Andres Freund2018-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | This allows the compiler / linker to mark affected pages as read-only. Doing so requires casting constness away, as CreateDestReceiver() returns both constant and non-constant dest receivers. That's fine though, as any modification of the statically allocated receivers would already have been a bug (and would now be caught on some platforms).

* Relax transactional restrictions on ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE (redux).Thomas Munro2018-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally committed as 15bc038f (plus some follow-ups), this was reverted in 28e07270 due to a problem discovered in parallel workers. This new version corrects that problem by sending the list of uncommitted enum values to parallel workers. Here follows the original commit message describing the change: To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction. Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target enum type had been created in the current transaction. This patch removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created in the same transaction as the value. Per discussion, this should be a bit less onerous. It does require each function that could possibly return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction, but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

* Add a debugging option to stress-test outfuncs.c and readfuncs.c.Tom Lane2018-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the normal course of operation, query trees will be serialized only if they are stored as views or rules; and plan trees will be serialized only if they get passed to parallel-query workers. This leaves an awful lot of opportunity for bugs/oversights to not get detected, as indeed we've just been reminded of the hard way. To improve matters, this patch adds a new compile option WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, which is modeled on the longstanding option COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES; but instead of passing all parse and plan trees through copyObject, it passes them through nodeToString + stringToNode. Enabling this option in a buildfarm animal or two will catch problems at least for cases that are exercised by the regression tests. A small problem with this idea is that readfuncs.c historically has discarded location fields, on the reasonable grounds that parse locations in a retrieved view are not relevant to the current query. But doing that in WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES breaks pg_stat_statements, and it could cause problems for future improvements that might try to report error locations at runtime. To fix that, provide a variant behavior in readfuncs.c that makes it restore location fields when told to. In passing, const-ify the string arguments of stringToNode and its subsidiary functions, just because it annoyed me that they weren't const already.

* Don't run atexit callbacks in quickdie signal handlers.Heikki Linnakangas2018-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | exit() is not async-signal safe. Even if the libc implementation is, 3rd party libraries might have installed unsafe atexit() callbacks. After receiving SIGQUIT, we really just want to exit as quickly as possible, so we don't really want to run the atexit() callbacks anyway. The original report by Jimmy Yih was a self-deadlock in startup_die(). However, this patch doesn't address that scenario; the signal handling while waiting for the startup packet is more complicated. But at least this alleviates similar problems in the SIGQUIT handlers, like that reported by Asim R P later in the same thread. Backpatch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

* Don't allow partitioned index on foreign-table partitionsAlvaro Herrera2018-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Creating indexes on foreign tables is already forbidden, but local partitioned indexes (commit 8b08f7d4820f) forgot to check for them. Add a preliminary check to prevent wasting time. Another school of thought says to allow the index to be created if it's not a unique index; but it's possible to do better in the future (enable indexing of foreign tables, somehow), so we avoid painting ourselves in a corner by rejecting all cases, to avoid future grief (a.k.a. backward incompatible changes).

* Fix SPI error cleanup and memory leakPeter Eisentraut2018-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since the SPI stack has been moved from TopTransactionContext to TopMemoryContext, setting _SPI_stack to NULL in AtEOXact_SPI() leaks memory. In fact, we don't need to do that anymore: We just leave the allocated stack around for the next SPI use. Also, refactor the SPI cleanup so that it is run both at transaction end and when returning to the main loop on an exception. The latter is necessary when a procedure calls a COMMIT or ROLLBACK command that itself causes an error.
* Clean up warnings from -Wimplicit-fallthrough.Tom Lane2018-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent gcc can warn about switch-case fall throughs that are not explicitly labeled as intentional. This seems like a good thing, so clean up the warnings exposed thereby by labeling all such cases with comments that gcc will recognize. In files that already had one or more suitable comments, I generally matched the existing style of those. Otherwise I went with /* FALLTHROUGH */, which is one of the spellings approved at the more-restrictive-than-default level -Wimplicit-fallthrough=4. (At the default level you can also spell it /* FALL ?THRU */, and it's not picky about case. What you can't do is include additional text in the same comment, so some existing comments containing versions of this aren't good enough.) Testing with gcc 8.0.1 (Fedora 28's current version), I found that I also had to put explicit "break"s after elog(ERROR) or ereport(ERROR); apparently, for this purpose gcc doesn't recognize that those don't return. That seems like possibly a gcc bug, but it's fine because in most places we did that anyway; so this amounts to a visit from the style police.

* Reorganize partitioning codeAlvaro Herrera2018-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's been a massive addition of partitioning code in PostgreSQL 11, with little oversight on its placement, resulting in a catalog/partition.c with poorly defined boundaries and responsibilities. This commit tries to set a couple of distinct modules to separate things a little bit. There are no code changes here, only code movement. There are three new files: src/backend/utils/cache/partcache.c src/include/partitioning/partdefs.h src/include/utils/partcache.h The previous arrangement of #including catalog/partition.h almost everywhere is no more.

* Allow group access on PGDATAStephen Frost2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the cluster to be optionally init'd with read access for the group. This means a relatively non-privileged user can perform a backup of the cluster without requiring write privileges, which enhances security. The mode of PGDATA is used to determine whether group permissions are enabled for directory and file creates. This method was chosen as it's simple and works well for the various utilities that write into PGDATA. Changing the mode of PGDATA manually will not automatically change the mode of all the files contained therein. If the user would like to enable group access on an existing cluster then changing the mode of all the existing files will be required. Note that pg_upgrade will automatically change the mode of all migrated files if the new cluster is init'd with the -g option. Tests are included for the backend and all the utilities which operate on the PG data directory to ensure that the correct mode is set based on the data directory permissions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows a task that would other require multiple PL statements. e.g. MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row, statement and transition triggers. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules, RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables. MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016.

* Support INOUT arguments in proceduresPeter Eisentraut2018-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | In a top-level CALL, the values of INOUT arguments will be returned as a result row. In PL/pgSQL, the values are assigned back to the input arguments. In other languages, the same convention as for return a record from a function is used. That does not require any code changes in the PL implementations.

* Allow UNIQUE indexes on partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera2018-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each index individually is enough to have it enforced globally. Therefore we can implement unique indexes on partitions by simply removing a few restrictions (and adding others.)

* Transaction control in PL proceduresPeter Eisentraut2018-01-22

Add similar underlying functions to SPI. Some additional cleanup so that transaction commit or abort doesn't blow away data structures still used by the procedure call. Add execution context tracking to CALL and DO statements so that transaction control commands can only be issued in top-level procedure and block calls, not function calls or other procedure or block calls. - SPI Add a new function SPI_connect_ext() that is like SPI_connect() but allows passing option flags. The only option flag right now is SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC. A nonatomic SPI connection can execute transaction control commands, otherwise it's not allowed. This is meant to be passed down from CALL and DO statements which themselves know in which context they are called. A nonatomic SPI connection uses different memory management. A normal SPI connection allocates its memory in TopTransactionContext. For nonatomic connections we use PortalContext instead. As the comment in SPI_connect_ext() (previously SPI_connect()) indicates, one could potentially use PortalContext in all cases, but it seems safest to leave the existing uses alone, because this stuff is complicated enough already. SPI also gets new functions SPI_start_transaction(), SPI_commit(), and SPI_rollback(), which can be used by PLs to implement their transaction control logic. - portalmem.c Some adjustments were made in the code that cleans up portals at transaction abort. The portal code could already handle a command *committing* a transaction and continuing (e.g., VACUUM), but it was not quite prepared for a command *aborting* a transaction and continuing. In AtAbort_Portals(), remove the code that marks an active portal as failed. As the comment there already predicted, this doesn't work if the running command wants to keep running after transaction abort. And it's actually not necessary, because pquery.c is careful to run all portal code in a PG_TRY block and explicitly runs MarkPortalFailed() if there is an exception. So the code in AtAbort_Portals() is never used anyway. In AtAbort_Portals() and AtCleanup_Portals(), we need to be careful not to clean up active portals too much. This mirrors similar code in PreCommit_Portals(). - PL/Perl Gets new functions spi_commit() and spi_rollback() - PL/pgSQL Gets new commands COMMIT and ROLLBACK. Update the PL/SQL porting example in the documentation to reflect that transactions are now possible in procedures. - PL/Python Gets new functions plpy.commit and plpy.rollback. - PL/Tcl Gets new commands commit and rollback.

* Local partitioned indexesAlvaro Herrera2018-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions also. As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it, and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first. To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table> (which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without recursing) and ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION (which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior database state exactly.

* Rearrange execution of PARAM_EXTERN Params for plpgsql's benefit.Tom Lane2017-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does three interrelated things: * Create a new expression execution step type EEOP_PARAM_CALLBACK and add the infrastructure needed for add-on modules to generate that. As discussed, the best control mechanism for that seems to be to add another hook function to ParamListInfo, which will be called by ExecInitExpr if it's supplied and a PARAM_EXTERN Param is found. For stand-alone expressions, we add a new entry point to allow the ParamListInfo to be specified directly, since it can't be retrieved from the parent plan node's EState. * Redesign the API for the ParamListInfo paramFetch hook so that the ParamExternData array can be entirely virtual. This also lets us get rid of ParamListInfo.paramMask, instead leaving it to the paramFetch hook to decide which param IDs should be accessible or not. plpgsql_param_fetch was already doing the identical masking check, so having callers do it too seemed redundant. While I was at it, I added a "speculative" flag to paramFetch that the planner can specify as TRUE to avoid unwanted failures. This solves an ancient problem for plpgsql that it couldn't provide values of non-DTYPE_VAR variables to the planner for fear of triggering premature "record not assigned yet" or "field not found" errors during planning. * Rework plpgsql to get rid of the need for "unshared" parameter lists, by dint of turning the single ParamListInfo per estate into a nearly read-only data structure that doesn't instantiate any per-variable data. Instead, the paramFetch hook controls access to per-variable data and can make the right decisions on the fly, replacing the cases that we used to need multiple ParamListInfos for. This might perhaps have been a performance loss on its own, but by using a paramCompile hook we can bypass plpgsql_param_fetch entirely during normal query execution. (It's now only called when, eg, we copy the ParamListInfo into a cursor portal. copyParamList() or SerializeParamList() effectively instantiate the virtual parameter array as a simple physical array without a paramFetch hook, which is what we want in those cases.) This allows reverting most of commit 6c82d8d1f, though I kept the cosmetic code-consolidation aspects of that (eg the assign_simple_var function). Performance testing shows this to be at worst a break-even change, and it can provide wins ranging up to 20% in test cases involving accesses to fields of "record" variables. The fact that values of such variables can now be exposed to the planner might produce wins in some situations, too, but I've not pursued that angle. In passing, remove the "parent" pointer from the arguments to ExecInitExprRec and related functions, instead storing that pointer in a transient field in ExprState. The ParamListInfo pointer for a stand-alone expression is handled the same way; we'd otherwise have had to add yet another recursively-passed-down argument in expression compilation.

* SQL proceduresPeter Eisentraut2017-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new object type "procedure" that is similar to a function but does not have a return type and is invoked by the new CALL statement instead of SELECT or similar. This implementation is aligned with the SQL standard and compatible with or similar to other SQL implementations. This commit adds new commands CALL, CREATE/ALTER/DROP PROCEDURE, as well as ALTER/DROP ROUTINE that can refer to either a function or a procedure (or an aggregate function, as an extension to SQL). There is also support for procedures in various utility commands such as COMMENT and GRANT, as well as support in pg_dump and psql. Support for defining procedures is available in all the languages supplied by the core distribution. While this commit is mainly syntax sugar around existing functionality, future features will rely on having procedures as a separate object type.
