* Fix varstr_cmp's special case for UTF8 encoding on Windows so that stringsTom Lane2008-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | that are reported as "equal" by wcscoll() are checked to see if they really are bitwise equal, and are sorted per strcmp() if not. We made this happen a couple of years ago in the regular code path, but it unaccountably got left out of the Windows/UTF8 case (probably brain fade on my part at the time). As in the prior set of changes, affected users may need to reindex indexes on textual columns. Backpatch as far as 8.2, which is the oldest release we are still supporting on Windows.

* Fix memory arrangement of tsquery after removing stop words. It causesTeodor Sigaev2008-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | a unused memory holes in tsquery. Per report by Richard Huxton <dev@archonet.com>. It was working well because in fact tsquery->size is not used for any kind of operation except comparing tsqueries. To prevent requirement of renew all stored tsquery optimization in CompareTSQ is removed.
* Fix unportable usages of tolower(). On signed-char machines, it is necessaryTom Lane2008-03-01
| | | | | | | | | to explicitly cast the output back to char before comparing it to a char value, else we get the wrong result for high-bit-set characters. Found by Rolf Jentsch. Also, fix several places where <ctype.h> functions were being called without casting the argument to unsigned char; this is likewise unportable, but we keep making that mistake :-(. These found by buildfarm member salamander, which I will desperately miss if it ever goes belly-up.
* Disable the undocumented xmlvalidate() function, which was unintentionallyTom Lane2008-03-01
| | | | | | | | | left in the code though it was not meant to be provided. It represents a security hole because unprivileged users could use it to look at (at least the first line of) any file readable by the backend. Fortunately, this is only possible if the backend was built with XML support, so the damage is at least mitigated; and 8.3 probably hasn't propagated into any security-critical uses yet anyway. Per report from Sergey Burladyan.
* Fix encode(...bytea..., 'escape') so that it converts all high-bit-set byteTom Lane2008-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | values into \nnn octal escape sequences. When the database encoding is multibyte this is *necessary* to avoid generating invalidly encoded text. Even in a single-byte encoding, the old behavior seems very hazardous --- consider for example what happens if the text is transferred to another database with a different encoding. Decoding would then yield some other bytea value than what was encoded, which is surely undesirable. Per gripe from Hernan Gonzalez. Backpatch to 8.3, but not further. This is a bit of a judgment call, but I make it on these grounds: pre-8.3 we don't really have much encoding safety anyway because of the convert() function family, and we would also have much higher risk of breaking existing apps that may not be expecting this behavior. 8.3 is still new enough that we can probably get away with making this change in the function's behavior.
* Fix datetime input to behave correctly for Feb 29 in years BC.Tom Lane2008-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, DecodeDate attempted to verify the day-of-the-month exactly, but it was under the misapprehension that it would know whether we were looking at a BC year or not. In reality this check can't be made until the calling function (eg DecodeDateTime) has processed all the fields. So, split the BC adjustment and validity checks out into a new function ValidateDate that is called only after processing all the fields. In passing, this patch makes DecodeTimeOnly work for BC inputs, which it never did before. (The historical veracity of all this is nonexistent, of course, but if we're going to say we support proleptic Gregorian calendar then we should do it correctly. In any case the unpatched code is broken because it could emit dates that it would then reject on re-inputting.) Per report from Bernd Helmle. Back-patch as far as 8.0; in 7.x we were not using our own calendar support and so this seems a bit too risky to put into 7.4.
* Remove unnecessary opening of other relation in RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_pkTom Lane2008-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | and RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_fk, as well as no-longer-needed calls of ri_BuildQueryKeyFull. Aside from saving a few cycles, this avoids needless deadlock risks when an update is not changing the columns that participate in an RI constraint. Per a gripe from Alexey Nalbat. Back-patch to 8.3. Earlier releases did have a need to open the other relation due to the way in which they retrieved information about the RI constraint, so this problem unfortunately can't easily be improved pre-8.3. Tom Lane and Stephan Szabo
* Avoid misbehavior in foreign key checks when casting to a datatype for whichTom Lane2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | the parser supplies a default typmod that can result in data loss (ie, truncation). Currently that appears to be only CHARACTER and BIT. We can avoid the problem by specifying the type's internal name instead of using SQL-spec syntax. Since the queries generated here are only used internally, there's no need to worry about portability. This problem is new in 8.3; before we just let the parser do whatever it wanted to resolve the operator, but 8.3 is trying to be sure that the semantics of FK checks are consistent. Per report from Harald Fuchs.
* Release any detoasted copies of arrays that are made temporarily inTom Lane2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | ri_FetchConstraintInfo, to avoid a query-duration memory leak when that routine is called by RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_fk (which isn't executed in a short-lived context). This problem was latent when the routine was added in February, but it didn't become serious until the varvarlena patch made it quite likely that the fields being examined would be "toasted" (ie, have short headers). Per report from Stephen Denne.
* Revise memory management for libxml calls. Instead of keeping libxml's dataTom Lane2008-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | in whichever context happens to be current during a call of an xml.c function, use a dedicated context that will not go away until we explicitly delete it (which we do at transaction end or subtransaction abort). This makes recovery after an error much simpler --- we don't have to individually delete the data structures created by libxml. Also, we need to initialize and cleanup libxml only once per transaction (if there's no error) instead of once per function call, so it should be a bit faster. We'll need to keep an eye out for intra-transaction memory leaks, though. Alvaro and Tom.
* It turns out the LIBXML_TEST_VERSION macro calls xmlInitParser().Tom Lane2008-01-12
| | | | | | | Therefore we must xmlCleanupParser(), or we risk leaving behind dangling pointers to whatever memory context is current when xml_init() is called. This seems to fix bug #3860, though we might still want the more invasive solution being worked on by Alvaro.
* Fix two places in xml.c that neglected to check the return values ofNeil Conway2008-01-12
| | | | SPI_prepare() and SPI_cursor_open(), to silence a Coverity warning.
* Minor perf tweak for _SPI_strdup(): if we're going to call strlen()Neil Conway2008-01-12
| | | | anyway, it is faster to memcpy() than to strcpy().
* lmgr.c:DescribeLockTag was never taught about virtual xids, per Greg Stark.Tom Lane2008-01-08
| | | | | Also a couple of minor tweaks to try to future-proof the code a bit better against future locktag additions.
* Remove unnecessary comma in enum definition ... some C compilers don'tTom Lane2008-01-08

* A long time ago, Peter pointed out that ruleutils.c didn't dump simpleTom Lane2008-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constant ORDER/GROUP BY entries properly: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-04/msg00457.php The original solution to that was in fact no good, as demonstrated by today's report from Martin Pitt: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-01/msg00027.php We can't use the column-number-reference format for a constant that is a resjunk targetlist entry, a case that was unfortunately not thought of in the original discussion. What we can do instead (which did not work at the time, but does work in 7.3 and up) is to emit the constant with explicit ::typename decoration, even if it otherwise wouldn't need it. This is sufficient to keep the parser from thinking it's a column number reference, and indeed is probably what the user must have done to get such a thing into the querytree in the first place.
* Make standard maintenance operations (including VACUUM, ANALYZE, REINDEX,Tom Lane2008-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and CLUSTER) execute as the table owner rather than the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already used for SECURITY DEFINER functions. The purpose of this change is to ensure that user-defined functions used in index definitions cannot acquire the privileges of a superuser account that is performing routine maintenance. While a function used in an index is supposed to be IMMUTABLE and thus not able to do anything very interesting, there are several easy ways around that restriction; and even if we could plug them all, there would remain a risk of reading sensitive information and broadcasting it through a covert channel such as CPU usage. To prevent bypassing this security measure, execution of SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION and SET ROLE is now forbidden within a SECURITY DEFINER context. Thanks to Itagaki Takahiro for reporting this vulnerability. Security: CVE-2007-6600

* When given a nonzero column number, pg_get_indexdef() is only supposed toTom Lane2007-12-20
| | | | | | | | | print the index key variable or expression for that column. It was mistakenly printing ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LAST decoration too --- and not only for the target column, but all columns. Someday we should have an option to extract that info (and the opclass decoration as well) for a single index column ... but today is not that day. Per bug #3829 and subsequent discussion.

* Make path_recv() and poly_recv() reject paths/polygons containing no points.Tom Lane2007-12-18
| | | | | | | | The zero-point case is sensible so far as the data structure is concerned, so maybe we ought to allow it sometime; but right now the textual input routines for these types don't allow it, and it seems that not all the functions for the types are prepared to cope. Report and patch by Merlin Moncure.
* Fix mergejoin cost estimation so that we consider the statistical ranges ofTom Lane2007-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | the two join variables at both ends: not only trailing rows that need not be scanned because there cannot be a match on the other side, but initial rows that will be scanned without possibly having a match. This allows a more realistic estimate of startup cost to be made, per recent pgsql-performance discussion. In passing, fix a couple of bugs that had crept into mergejoinscansel: it was not quite up to speed for the task of estimating descending-order scans, which is a new requirement in 8.3.
* Code review for LIKE ... INCLUDING INDEXES patch. Fix failure to propagateTom Lane2007-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed. Allow INCLUDING INDEXES indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful, but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty unorthogonal). Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt(). Undo some poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem to be better places for them.

| | | | | | | inappropriately generic-sounding names. This is more or less free since we already forced initdb for the next beta, and it may prevent confusion or name conflicts (particularly at the C-global-symbol level) down the road. Per my proposal yesterday.
