* 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".
* Clean up cruft around collation initialization for tupdescs and scankeys.Tom Lane2011-03-26
| | | | | I found actual bugs in GiST and plpgsql; the rest of this is cosmetic but meant to decrease the odds of future bugs of omission.
* Clean up a few failures to set collation fields in expression nodes.Tom Lane2011-03-26
| | | | | | | | | I'm not sure these have any non-cosmetic implications, but I'm not sure they don't, either. In particular, ensure the CaseTestExpr generated by transformAssignmentIndirection to represent the base target column carries the correct collation, because parse_collate.c won't fix that. Tweak lsyscache.c API so that we can get the appropriate collation without an extra syscache lookup.
* Pass collation to makeConst() instead of looking it up internally.Tom Lane2011-03-25
| | | | | | | | | In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup is both expensive and wrong.
* Avoid potential deadlock in InitCatCachePhase2().Tom Lane2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Opening a catcache's index could require reading from that cache's own catalog, which of course would acquire AccessShareLock on the catalog. So the original coding here risks locking index before heap, which could deadlock against another backend trying to get exclusive locks in the normal order. Because InitCatCachePhase2 is only called when a backend has to start up without a relcache init file, the deadlock was seldom seen in the field. (And by the same token, there's no need to worry about any performance disadvantage; so not much point in trying to distinguish exactly which catalogs have the risk.) Bug report, diagnosis, and patch by Nikhil Sontakke. Additional commentary by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* 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.

* Per-column collation supportPeter Eisentraut2011-02-08

* 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.

* Support unlogged tables.Robert Haas2010-12-29
| | | | | | | The contents of an unlogged table are WAL-logged; thus, they are not available on standby servers and are truncated whenever the database system enters recovery. Indexes on unlogged tables are also unlogged. Unlogged GiST indexes are not currently supported.
* Generalize concept of temporary relations to "relation persistence".Robert Haas2010-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit replaces pg_class.relistemp with pg_class.relpersistence; and also modifies the RangeVar node type to carry relpersistence rather than istemp. It also removes removes rd_istemp from RelationData and instead performs the correct computation based on relpersistence. For clarity, we add three new macros: RelationNeedsWAL(), RelationUsesLocalBuffers(), and RelationUsesTempNamespace(), so that we can clarify the purpose of each check that previous depended on rd_istemp. This is intended as infrastructure for the upcoming unlogged tables patch, as well as for future possible work on global temporary tables.
* Create core infrastructure for KNNGIST.Tom Lane2010-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a heavily revised version of builtin_knngist_core-0.9. The ordering operators are no longer mixed in with actual quals, which would have confused not only humans but significant parts of the planner. Instead, ordering operators are carried separately throughout planning and execution. Since the API for ambeginscan and amrescan functions had to be changed anyway, this commit takes the opportunity to rationalize that a bit. RelationGetIndexScan no longer forces a premature index_rescan call; instead, callers of index_beginscan must call index_rescan too. Aside from making the AM-side initialization logic a bit less peculiar, this has the advantage that we do not make a useless extra am_rescan call when there are runtime key values. AMs formerly could not assume that the key values passed to amrescan were actually valid; now they can. Teodor Sigaev and Tom Lane
* Simplify and speed up mapping of index opfamilies to pathkeys.Tom Lane2010-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly we looked up the operators associated with each index (caching them in relcache) and then the planner looked up the btree opfamily containing such operators in order to build the btree-centric pathkey representation that describes the index's sort order. This is quite pointless for btree indexes: we might as well just use the index's opfamily information directly. That saves syscache lookup cycles during planning, and furthermore allows us to eliminate the relcache's caching of operators altogether, which may help in reducing backend startup time. I added code to plancat.c to perform the same type of double lookup on-the-fly if it's ever faced with a non-btree amcanorder index AM. If such a thing actually becomes interesting for production, we should replace that logic with some more-direct method for identifying the corresponding btree opfamily; but it's not worth spending effort on now. There is considerably more to do pursuant to my recent proposal to get rid of sort-operator-based representations of sort orderings, but this patch grabs some of the low-hanging fruit. I'll look at the remainder of that work after the current commitfest.
* Create the system catalog infrastructure needed for KNNGIST.Tom Lane2010-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds columns amoppurpose and amopsortfamily to pg_amop, and column amcanorderbyop to pg_am. For the moment all the entries in amcanorderbyop are "false", since the underlying support isn't there yet. Also, extend the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands with [ FOR SEARCH | FOR ORDER BY sort_operator_family ] clauses to allow the new columns of pg_amop to be populated, and create pg_dump support for dumping that information. I also added some documentation, although it's perhaps a bit premature given that the feature doesn't do anything useful yet. Teodor Sigaev, Robert Haas, Tom Lane
* Make TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY restart sequences transactionally.Tom Lane2010-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, we simply issued ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART commands, which do not roll back on error. This meant that an error between truncating and committing left the sequences out of sync with the table contents, with potentially bad consequences as were noted in a Warning on the TRUNCATE man page. To fix, create a new storage file (relfilenode) for a sequence that is to be reset due to RESTART IDENTITY. If the transaction aborts, we'll automatically revert to the old storage file. This acts just like a rewriting ALTER TABLE operation. A penalty is that we have to take exclusive lock on the sequence, but since we've already got exclusive lock on its owning table, that seems unlikely to be much of a problem. The interaction of this with usual nontransactional behaviors of sequence operations is a bit weird, but it's hard to see what would be completely consistent. Our choice is to discard cached-but-unissued sequence values both when the RESTART is executed, and at rollback if any; but to not touch the currval() state either time. In passing, move the sequence reset operations to happen before not after any AFTER TRUNCATE triggers are fired. The previous ordering was not logically sensible, but was forced by the need to minimize inconsistency if the triggers caused an error. Transactional rollback is a much better solution to that. Patch by Steve Singer, rather heavily adjusted by me.

* Provide hashing support for arrays.Tom Lane2010-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The core of this patch is hash_array() and associated typcache infrastructure, which works just about exactly like the existing support for array comparison. In addition I did some work to ensure that the planner won't think that an array type is hashable unless its element type is hashable, and similarly for sorting. This includes adding a datatype parameter to op_hashjoinable and op_mergejoinable, and adding an explicit "hashable" flag to SortGroupClause. The lack of a cross-check on the element type was a pre-existing bug in mergejoin support --- but it didn't matter so much before, because if you couldn't sort the element type there wasn't any good alternative to failing anyhow. Now that we have the alternative of hashing the array type, there are cases where we can avoid a failure by being picky at the planner stage, so it's time to be picky. The issue of exactly how to combine the per-element hash values to produce an array hash is still open for discussion, but the rest of this is pretty solid, so I'll commit it as-is.
* Allow new values to be added to an existing enum type.Tom Lane2010-10-24

* Improve handling of domains over arrays.Tom Lane2010-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type. In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type, *not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied. If we're intending to store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the domain type so that constraints are re-checked. For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints. For the moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency. To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type; the typelem will always be zero instead. In those places where it's really okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type. catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents. Per bug #5717 from Richard Huxton and subsequent discussion.

* Fix up flushing of composite-type typcache entries to be driven directly byTom Lane2010-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SI invalidation events, rather than indirectly through the relcache. In the previous coding, we had to flush a composite-type typcache entry whenever we discarded the corresponding relcache entry. This caused problems at least when testing with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as shown in recent report from Jeff Davis, and might result in real-world problems given the kind of unexpected relcache flush that that test mechanism is intended to model. The new coding decouples relcache and typcache management, which is a good thing anyway from a structural perspective. The cost is that we have to search the typcache linearly to find entries that need to be flushed. There are a couple of ways we could avoid that, but at the moment it's not clear it's worth any extra trouble, because the typcache contains very few entries in typical operation. Back-patch to 8.2, the same as some other recent fixes in this general area. The patch could be carried back to 8.0 with some additional work, but given that it's only hypothetical whether we're fixing any problem observable in the field, it doesn't seem worth the work now.
* 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.
* Fix Assert failure in PushOverrideSearchPath when trying to restore a searchTom Lane2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | path that specifies useTemp, but there is no active temp schema in the current session. (This can happen if the path was saved during a transaction that created a temp schema and was later rolled back.) For existing callers it's sufficient to ignore the useTemp flag in this case, though we might later want to offer an option to create a fresh temp schema. So far as I can tell this is just an Assert failure: in a non-assert build, the code would push a zero onto the new search path, which is useless but not very harmful. Per bug report from Heikki. Back-patch to 8.3; prior versions don't have this code.

* Avoid an Assert failure in deconstruct_array() by making get_attstatsslot()Tom Lane2010-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | use the actual element type of the array it's disassembling, rather than trusting the type OID passed in by its caller. This is needed because sometimes the planner passes in a type OID that's only binary-compatible with the target column's type, rather than being an exact match. Per an example from Bernd Helmle. Possibly we should refactor get_attstatsslot/free_attstatsslot to not expect the caller to supply type ID data at all, but for now I'll just do the minimum-change fix. Back-patch to 7.4. Bernd's test case only crashes back to 8.0, but since these subroutines are the same in 7.4, I suspect there may be variant cases that would crash 7.4 as well.

* Arrange for client authentication to occur before we select a specificTom Lane2010-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | database to connect to. This is necessary for the walsender code to work properly (it was previously using an untenable assumption that template1 would always be available to connect to). This also gets rid of a small security shortcoming that was introduced in the original patch to eliminate the flat authentication files: before, you could find out whether or not the requested database existed even if you couldn't pass the authentication checks. The changes needed to support this are mainly just to treat pg_authid and pg_auth_members as nailed relations, so that we can read them without having to be able to locate real pg_class entries for them. This mechanism was already debugged for pg_database, but we hadn't recognized the value of applying it to those catalogs too. Since the current code doesn't have support for accessing toast tables before we've brought up all of the relcache, remove pg_authid's toast table to ensure that no one can store an out-of-line toasted value of rolpassword. The case seems quite unlikely to occur in practice, and was effectively unsupported anyway in the old "flatfiles" implementation. Update genbki.pl to actually implement the same rules as bootstrap.c does for not-nullability of catalog columns. The previous coding was a bit cheesy but worked all right for the previous set of bootstrap catalogs. It does not work for pg_authid, where rolvaliduntil needs to be nullable. Initdb forced due to minor catalog changes (mainly the toast table removal).
* Fix a problem introduced by my patch of 2010-01-12 that revised the wayTom Lane2010-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | relcache reload works. In the patched code, a relcache entry in process of being rebuilt doesn't get unhooked from the relcache hash table; which means that if a cache flush occurs due to sinval queue overrun while we're rebuilding it, the entry could get blown away by RelationCacheInvalidate, resulting in crash or misbehavior. Fix by ensuring that an entry being rebuilt has positive refcount, so it won't be seen as a target for removal if a cache flush occurs. (This will mean that the entry gets rebuilt twice in such a scenario, but that's okay.) It appears that the problem can only arise within a transaction that has previously reassigned the relfilenode of a pre-existing table, via TRUNCATE or a similar operation. Per bug #5412 from Rusty Conover. Back-patch to 8.2, same as the patch that introduced the problem. I think that the failure can't actually occur in 8.2, since it lacks the rd_newRelfilenodeSubid optimization, but let's make it work like the later branches anyway. Patch by Heikki, slightly editorialized on by me.

* Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros.Robert Haas2010-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists, GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code shorter, too. Design and review by Tom Lane.

* Fix up rickety handling of relation-truncation interlocks.Tom Lane2010-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move rd_targblock, rd_fsm_nblocks, and rd_vm_nblocks from relcache to the smgr relation entries, so that they will get reset to InvalidBlockNumber whenever an smgr-level flush happens. Because we now send smgr invalidation messages immediately (not at end of transaction) when a relation truncation occurs, this ensures that other backends will reset their values before they next access the relation. We no longer need the unreliable assumption that a VACUUM that's doing a truncation will hold its AccessExclusive lock until commit --- in fact, we can intentionally release that lock as soon as we've completed the truncation. This patch therefore reverts (most of) Alvaro's patch of 2009-11-10, as well as my marginal hacking on it yesterday. We can also get rid of assorted no-longer-needed relcache flushes, which are far more expensive than an smgr flush because they kill a lot more state. In passing this patch fixes smgr_redo's failure to perform visibility-map truncation, and cleans up some rather dubious assumptions in freespace.c and visibilitymap.c about when rd_fsm_nblocks and rd_vm_nblocks can be out of date.
* Remove CatalogCacheFlushRelation, and the reloidattr infrastructure that wasTom Lane2010-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | needed by nothing else. The restructuring I just finished doing on cache management exposed to me how silly this routine was. Its function was to go into the catcache and blow away all entries related to a given relation when there was a relcache flush on that relation. However, there is no point in removing a catcache entry if the catalog row it represents is still valid --- and if it isn't valid, there must have been a catcache entry flush on it, because that's triggered directly by heap_update or heap_delete on the catalog row. So this routine accomplished nothing except to blow away valid cache entries that we'd very likely be wanting in the near future to help reconstruct the relcache entry. Dumb. On top of which, it required a subtle and easy-to-get-wrong attribute in syscache definitions, ie, the column containing the OID of the related relation if any. Removing that is a very useful maintenance simplification.
* Remove old-style VACUUM FULL (which was known for a little while asTom Lane2010-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VACUUM FULL INPLACE), along with a boatload of subsidiary code and complexity. Per discussion, the use case for this method of vacuuming is no longer large enough to justify maintaining it; not to mention that we don't wish to invest the work that would be needed to make it play nicely with Hot Standby. Aside from the code directly related to old-style VACUUM FULL, this commit removes support for certain WAL record types that could only be generated within VACUUM FULL, redirect-pointer removal in heap_page_prune, and nontransactional generation of cache invalidation sinval messages (the last being the sticking point for Hot Standby). We still have to retain all code that copes with finding HEAP_MOVED_OFF and HEAP_MOVED_IN flag bits on existing tuples. This can't be removed as long as we want to support in-place update from pre-9.0 databases.

This has two key benefits: * The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs. * We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing shared catalogs. CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would only be visible in one database. Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed; shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared. This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap, parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid such failures during the regression tests.
* Restructure CLUSTER/newstyle VACUUM FULL/ALTER TABLE support so that swappingTom Lane2010-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of old and new toast tables can be done either at the logical level (by swapping the heaps' reltoastrelid links) or at the physical level (by swapping the relfilenodes of the toast tables and their indexes). This is necessary infrastructure for upcoming changes to support CLUSTER/VAC FULL on shared system catalogs, where we cannot change reltoastrelid. The physical swap saves a few catalog updates too. We unfortunately have to keep the logical-level swap logic because in some cases we will be adding or deleting a toast table, so there's no possibility of a physical swap. However, that only happens as a consequence of schema changes in the table, which we do not need to support for system catalogs, so such cases aren't an obstacle for that. In passing, refactor the cluster support functions a little bit to eliminate unnecessarily-duplicated code; and fix the problem that while CLUSTER had been taught to rename the final toast table at need, ALTER TABLE had not.
* Assorted cleanups in preparation for using a map file to support alteringTom Lane2010-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the relfilenode of currently-not-relocatable system catalogs. 1. Get rid of inval.c's dependency on relfilenode, by not having it emit smgr invalidations as a result of relcache flushes. Instead, smgr sinval messages are sent directly from smgr.c when an actual relation delete or truncate is done. This makes considerably more structural sense and allows elimination of a large number of useless smgr inval messages that were formerly sent even in cases where nothing was changing at the physical-relation level. Note that this reintroduces the concept of nontransactional inval messages, but that's okay --- because the messages are sent by smgr.c, they will be sent in Hot Standby slaves, just from a lower logical level than before. 2. Move setNewRelfilenode out of catalog/index.c, where it never logically belonged, into relcache.c; which is a somewhat debatable choice as well but better than before. (I considered catalog/storage.c, but that seemed too low level.) Rename to RelationSetNewRelfilenode. 3. Cosmetic cleanups of some other relfilenode manipulations.

| | | | | | | | | Attributes can now have options, just as relations and tablespaces do, and the reloptions code is used to parse, validate, and store them.

Per today's failure on buildfarm member gothic_moth; it's surprising the problem hadn't been identified before. Back-patch to 8.2. Earlier releases didn't have the issue because they didn't try to lock these indexes during load (instead assuming that they couldn't change schema at all during multiuser operation).

Instead of zeroing out an existing relcache entry and rebuilding it in place, build a new relcache entry, then swap its contents with the old one, then free the new entry. This avoids problems with code believing that a previously obtained pointer to a cache entry must still reference a valid entry, as seen in recent failures on buildfarm member jaguar. (jaguar is using CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS which raises the probability of failure substantially, but the problem could occur in the field without that.) The previous design was okay when it was made, but subtransactions and the ResourceOwner mechanism make it unsafe now. Also, make more use of the already existing rd_isvalid flag, so that we remember that the entry requires rebuilding even if the first attempt fails. Back-patch as far as 8.2. Prior versions have enough issues around relcache reload anyway (due to inadequate locking) that fixing this one doesn't seem worthwhile.
