* Include the backend ID in the relpath of temporary relations.Robert Haas2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to reliably remove all leftover temporary relation files on cluster startup without reference to system catalogs or WAL; therefore, we no longer include temporary relations in XLOG_XACT_COMMIT and XLOG_XACT_ABORT WAL records. Since these changes require including a backend ID in each SharedInvalSmgrMsg, the size of the SharedInvalidationMessage.id field has been reduced from two bytes to one, and the maximum number of connections has been reduced from INT_MAX / 4 to 2^23-1. It would be possible to remove these restrictions by increasing the size of SharedInvalidationMessage by 4 bytes, but right now that doesn't seem like a good trade-off. Review by Jaime Casanova and Tom Lane.
* Add xml_is_well_formed, xml_is_well_formed_document, xml_is_well_formed_contentTom Lane2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | functions to the core XML code. Per discussion, the former depends on XMLOPTION while the others do not. These supersede a version previously offered by contrib/xml2. Mike Fowler, reviewed by Pavel Stehule
* Extend psql's \e and \ef commands so that a line number can be specified,Tom Lane2010-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and the editor's cursor will be initially placed on that line. In \e the lines are counted with respect to the query buffer, while in \ef they are counted with line 1 = first line of function body. These choices are useful for positioning the cursor on the line of a previously-reported error. To avoid assumptions about what switch the user's editor takes for this purpose, invent a new psql variable EDITOR_LINENUMBER_SWITCH with (at present) no default value. One incompatibility from previous behavior is that "\e 1234" will now take "1234" as a line number not a file name. There are at least two ways to select a numerically-named file if you really want to. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Jan Urbanski, with further editing by Robert Haas and Tom Lane
* The sanity check added to array_recv() wa a bit too tight; we mustHeikki Linnakangas2010-08-11

* Add three-parameter forms of array_to_string and string_to_array, to allowTom Lane2010-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | better handling of NULL elements within the arrays. The third parameter is a string that should be used to represent a NULL element, or should be translated into a NULL element, respectively. If the third parameter is NULL it behaves the same as the two-parameter form. There are two incompatible changes in the behavior of the two-parameter form of string_to_array. First, it will return an empty (zero-element) array rather than NULL when the input string is of zero length. Second, if the field separator is NULL, the function splits the string into individual characters, rather than returning NULL as before. These two changes make this form fully compatible with the behavior of the new three-parameter form. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Brendan Jurd

Also, add an opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different numbers of parameters. Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.
* Standardize get_whatever_oid functions for other object types.Robert Haas2010-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Rename TSParserGetPrsid to get_ts_parser_oid. - Rename TSDictionaryGetDictid to get_ts_dict_oid. - Rename TSTemplateGetTmplid to get_ts_template_oid. - Rename TSConfigGetCfgid to get_ts_config_oid. - Rename FindConversionByName to get_conversion_oid. - Rename GetConstraintName to get_constraint_oid. - Add new functions get_opclass_oid, get_opfamily_oid, get_rewrite_oid, get_rewrite_oid_without_relid, get_trigger_oid, and get_cast_oid. The name of each function matches the corresponding catalog. Thanks to KaiGai Kohei for the review.

* Fix numeric_maximum_size() calculation.Robert Haas2010-08-04
| | | | | | | | The old computation can sometimes underestimate the necessary space by 2 bytes; however we're not back-patching this, because this result isn't used for anything critical. Per discussion with Tom Lane, make the typmod test in this function match the ones in numeric() and apply_typmod() exactly.

* Code review for --quote-all-identifiers patch: add missing --help documentationTom Lane2010-08-03
| | | | | for new pg_dump/pg_dumpall parameters, make a couple of trivial stylistic adjustments to make the code follow usual project style.
* Add some comments to tinterval_cmp_internal pointing out its severeTom Lane2010-08-03
| | | | | | implementation deficiencies. Per discussion of bug #5592, we're not going to change it, but these things should be documented so that if anyone ever reimplements type tinterval, they will be more careful.
* Be a little more careful with the shift computations in QT2QTN andTom Lane2010-08-03
| | | | | | | | makeTSQuerySign. The first of these is a live bug, on some platforms, as per bug #5590 from John Regehr. However the consequences seem limited because of the relatively narrow scope of use of QTNode.sign. The shift in makeTSQuerySign is actually safe because TSQS_SIGLEN is unsigned, but it seems like a good idea to insert an explicit cast rather than depend on that.
* Fix core dump in QTNodeCompare when tsquery_cmp() is applied to two emptyTom Lane2010-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsqueries. CompareTSQ has to have a guard for the case rather than blindly applying QTNodeCompare to random data past the end of the datums. Also, change QTNodeCompare to be a little less trusting: use an actual test rather than just Assert'ing that the input is sane. Problem encountered while investigating another issue (I saw a core dump in autoanalyze on a table containing multiple empty tsquery values). Back-patch to all branches with tsquery support. In HEAD, also fix some bizarre (though not outright wrong) coding in tsq_mcontains().
* Fix an ancient typo that prevented the detection of conflicting fields whenTom Lane2010-08-02
| | | | | | | | interval input "invalid" was specified together with other fields. Spotted by Neil Conway with the help of a clang warning. Although this has been wrong since the interval code was written more than 10 years ago, it doesn't affect anything beyond which error message you get for a wrong input, so not worth back-patching very far.

* Reduce lock levels of CREATE TRIGGER and some ALTER TABLE, CREATE RULE actions.Simon Riggs2010-07-28
| | | | | | | | | Avoid hard-coding lockmode used for many altering DDL commands, allowing easier future changes of lock levels. Implementation of initial analysis on DDL sub-commands, so that many lock levels are now at ShareUpdateExclusiveLock or ShareRowExclusiveLock, allowing certain DDL not to block reads/writes. First of number of planned changes in this area; additional docs required when full project complete.
* Add options to force quoting of all identifiers.Robert Haas2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | I've added a quote_all_identifiers GUC which affects the behavior of the backend, and a --quote-all-identifiers argument to pg_dump and pg_dumpall which sets the GUC and also affects the quoting done internally by those applications. Design by Tom Lane; review by Alex Hunsaker; in response to bug #5488 filed by Hartmut Goebel.
* Centralize DML permissions-checking logic.Robert Haas2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove bespoke code in DoCopy and RI_Initial_Check, which now instead fabricate call ExecCheckRTPerms with a manufactured RangeTblEntry. This is intended to make it feasible for an enhanced security provider to actually make use of ExecutorCheckPerms_hook, but also has the advantage that RI_Initial_Check can allow use of the fast-path when column-level but not table-level permissions are present. KaiGai Kohei. Reviewed (in an earlier version) by Stephen Frost, and by me. Some further changes to the comments by me.

* Teach EXPLAIN to print PARAM_EXEC Params as the referenced expressions,Tom Lane2010-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rather than just $N. This brings the display of nestloop-inner-indexscan plans back to where it's been, and incidentally improves the display of SubPlan parameters as well. In passing, simplify the EXPLAIN code by having it deal primarily in the PlanState tree rather than separately searching Plan and PlanState trees. This is noticeably cleaner for subplans, and about a wash elsewhere. One small difference from previous behavior is that EXPLAIN will no longer qualify local variable references in inner-indexscan plan nodes, since it no longer sees such nodes as possibly referencing multiple tables. Vars referenced through PARAM_EXEC Params are still forcibly qualified, though, so I don't think the display is any more confusing than before. Adjust a couple of examples in the documentation to match this behavior.
* Fix ruleutils' get_variable() to print something useful for Vars referencingTom Lane2010-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | resjunk outputs of subquery tlists, instead of throwing an error. Per bug #5548 from Daniel Grace. We might at some point find we ought to back-patch this further than 9.0, but I think that such Vars can only occur as resjunk members of upper-level tlists, in which case the problem can't arise because prior versions didn't print resjunk tlist items in EXPLAIN VERBOSE.

* Fix ALTER LARGE OBJECT and GRANT ... ON LARGE OBJECT for large OIDs.Robert Haas2010-06-13
| | | | | The previous coding failed for OIDs too large to be represented by a signed integer.
* Change the notation for calling functions with named parameters fromTom Lane2010-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "val AS name" to "name := val", as per recent discussion. This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch, but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable). In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now. I didn't attempt that at the moment.
* Fix oversight in the previous patch that made LIKE throw error for \ at theTom Lane2010-05-28
| | | | | | end of the pattern: the code path that handles \ just after % should throw error too. As in the previous patch, not back-patching for fear of breaking apps that worked before.
* Rewrite LIKE's %-followed-by-_ optimization so it really works (this timeTom Lane2010-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | for sure ;-)). It now also optimizes more cases, such as %_%_. Improve comments too. Per bug #5478. In passing, also rename the TCHAR macro to GETCHAR, because pgindent is messing with the formatting of the former (apparently it now thinks TCHAR is a typedef name). Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.
* Adjust comments about avoiding use of printf's %.*s.Tom Lane2010-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | My initial impression that glibc was measuring the precision in characters (which is what the Linux man page says it does) was incorrect. It does take the precision to be in bytes, but it also tries to truncate the string at a character boundary. The bottom line remains the same: it will mess up if the string is not in the encoding it expects, so we need to avoid %.*s anytime there's a significant risk of that. Previous code changes are still good, but adjust the comments to reflect this knowledge. Per research by Hernan Gonzalez.
* Work around a subtle portability problem in use of printf %s format.Tom Lane2010-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s" unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII. This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".

* Fix to_char YYY, YY, Y format codes so that FM zero-suppression really works,Tom Lane2010-04-07
| | | | | | | rather than only sort-of working as the previous attempt had left it. Clean up some unnecessary differences between the way these were coded and the way the YYYY case was coded. Update the regression test cases that proved that it wasn't working.
* Document that "Q" is ignored by to_date and to_timestamp. Add C commentBruce Momjian2010-03-03

* Export xml.c's libxml-error-handling support so that contrib/xml2 can use itTom Lane2010-03-03
| | | | | | | | | too, instead of duplicating the functionality (badly). I renamed xml_init to pg_xml_init, because the former seemed just a bit too generic to be safe as a global symbol. I considered likewise renaming xml_ereport to pg_xml_ereport, but felt that the reference to ereport probably made it sufficiently PG-centric already.

* Clean up handling of XactReadOnly and RecoveryInProgress checks.Tom Lane2010-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add some checks that seem logically necessary, in particular let's make real sure that HS slave sessions cannot create temp tables. (If they did they would think that temp tables belonging to the master's session with the same BackendId were theirs. We *must* not allow myTempNamespace to become set in a slave session.) Change setval() and nextval() so that they are only allowed on temp sequences in a read-only transaction. This seems consistent with what we allow for table modifications in read-only transactions. Since an HS slave can't have a temp sequence, this also provides a nicer cure for the setval PANIC reported by Erik Rijkers. Make the error messages more uniform, and have them mention the specific command being complained of. This seems worth the trifling amount of extra code, since people are likely to see such messages a lot more than before.
* Provide some rather hokey ways for EXPLAIN to print FieldStore and assignmentTom Lane2010-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ArrayRef expressions that are not in the immediate context of an INSERT or UPDATE targetlist. Such cases never arise in stored rules, so ruleutils.c hadn't tried to handle them. However, they do occur in the targetlists of plans derived from such statements, and now that EXPLAIN VERBOSE tries to print targetlists, we need some way to deal with the case. I chose to represent an assignment ArrayRef as "array[subscripts] := source", which is fairly reasonable and doesn't omit any information. However, FieldStore is problematic because the planner will fold multiple assignments to fields of the same composite column into one FieldStore, resulting in a structure that is hard to understand at all, let alone display comprehensibly. So in that case I punted and just made it print the source expression(s). Backpatch to 8.4 --- the lack of functionality exists in older releases, but doesn't seem to be important for lack of anything that would call it.
