of checkpoint. Although the checkpoint has been written to WAL at that point
already, so that all data is safe, and we'll retry removing the WAL segment at
the next checkpoint, if such a failure persists we won't be able to remove any
other old WAL segments either and will eventually run out of disk space. It's
better to treat the failure as non-fatal, and move on to clean any other WAL
segment and continue with any other end-of-checkpoint cleanup.
We don't normally expect any such failures, but on Windows it can happen with
some anti-virus or backup software that lock files without FILE_SHARE_DELETE
flag.
Also, the loop in pgrename() to retry when the file is locked was broken. If a
file is locked on Windows, you get ERROR_SHARE_VIOLATION, not
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, at least on modern versions. Fix that, although I left
the check for ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED in there as well (presumably it was correct
in some environment), and added ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION to be consistent with
similar checks in pgwin32_open(). Reduce the timeout on the loop from 30s to
10s, on the grounds that since it's been broken, we've effectively had a
timeout of 0s and no-one has complained, so a smaller timeout is actually
closer to the old behavior. A longer timeout would mean that if recycling a
WAL file fails because it's locked for some reason, InstallXLogFileSegment()
will hold ControlFileLock for longer, potentially blocking other backends, so
a long timeout isn't totally harmless.
While we're at it, set errno correctly in pgrename().
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows. The xlog.c
changes would make sense on other platforms and thus on older versions as
well, but since there's no such locking issues on other platforms, it's not
worth it.

file handle on it, the file goes into "pending deletion" state where it
still shows up in directory listing, but isn't accessible otherwise. That
confuses RemoveOldXLogFiles(), making it think that the file hasn't been
archived yet, while it actually was, and it was deleted along with the .done
file.
Fix that by renaming the file with ".deleted" extension before deleting it.
Also check the return value of rename() and unlink(), so that if the removal
fails for any reason (e.g another process is holding the file locked), we
don't delete the .done file until the WAL file is really gone.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows.

to unload and re-load the library.
The difficulty with unloading a library is that we haven't defined safe
protocols for doing so. In particular, there's no safe mechanism for
getting out of a "hook" function pointer unless libraries are unloaded
in reverse order of loading. And there's no mechanism at all for undefining
a custom GUC variable, so GUC would be left with a pointer to an old value
that might or might not still be valid, and very possibly wouldn't be in
the same place anymore.
While the unload and reload behavior had some usefulness in easing
development of new loadable libraries, it's of no use whatever to normal
users, so just disabling it isn't giving up that much. Someday we might
care to expend the effort to develop safe unload protocols; but even if
we did, there'd be little certainty that every third-party loadable module
was following them, so some security restrictions would still be needed.
Back-patch to 8.2; before that, LOAD was superuser-only anyway.

functions.
This extends the previous patch that forbade SETting these variables inside
security-definer functions. RESET is equally a security hole, since it
would allow regaining privileges of the caller; furthermore it can trigger
Assert failures and perhaps other internal errors, since the code is not
expecting these variables to change in such contexts. The previous patch
did not cover this case because assign hooks don't really have enough
information, so move the responsibility for preventing this into guc.c.
Problem discovered by Heikki Linnakangas.

a number of other geometric operators also depend on. It miscalculated the
slope of the perpendicular to the given line segment anytime that slope was
other than 0, infinite, or +/-1. In some cases the error would be masked
because the true closest point on the line segment was one of its endpoints
rather than the intersection point, but in other cases it could give an
arbitrarily bad answer. Per bug #4872 from Nick Roosevelt.

of AND/OR clause branches that predtest.c would attempt to deal with. As
noted in bug #4721, that change disabled proof attempts for sizes of problems
that people are actually expecting it to work for. The original complaint
it was trying to solve was O(N^2) behavior for long IN-lists, so let's try
applying the limit to just ScalarArrayOpExprs rather than everything.
Another case of "foolish consistency" I fear.

you can end up with an unrecoverable backup if you start a new base backup
right after finishing archive recovery. In that scenario, the redo pointer of
the checkpoint that pg_start_backup() writes points to the XLOG segment where
the timeline-changing end-of-archive-recovery checkpoint is. The beginning
of that segment contains pages with the old timeline ID, and we don't accept
that in recovery unless we find a history file covering the old timeline ID.
If you omit pg_xlog from the base backup and clear the archive directory
before starting the backup, there will be no such history file available.
The bug is present in all versions since PITR was introduced in 8.0, but I'm
back-patching only back to 8.2. Earlier versions didn't have XLOG switch
records, making this fix unfeasible. Given the lack of reports until now,
it doesn't seem worthwhile to spend more effort to fix 8.0 and 8.1.

part that rounds up to exactly 1.0 second. The previous coding rejected input
like "00:12:57.9999999999999999999999999999", with the exact number of nines
needed to cause failure varying depending on float-timestamp option and
possibly on platform. Obviously this should round up to the next integral
second, if we don't have enough precision to distinguish the value from that.

aggregate function. By definition, such a sub-SELECT cannot reference any
variables of query levels between itself and the aggregate's semantic level
(else the aggregate would've been assigned to that lower level instead).
So the correct, most efficient implementation is to treat the sub-SELECT as
being a sub-select of that outer query level, not the level the aggregate
syntactically appears in. Not doing so also confuses the heck out of our
parameter-passing logic, as illustrated in bug report from Daniel Grace.
Fortunately, we were already copying the whole Aggref expression up to the
outer query level, so all that's needed is to delay SS_process_sublinks
processing of the sub-SELECT until control returns to the outer level.
This has been broken since we introduced spec-compliant treatment of
outer aggregates in 7.4; so patch all the way back.

interval_eq() considers equal. I'm not sure how that fundamental requirement
escaped us through multiple revisions of this hash function, but there it is;
it's been wrong since interval_hash was first written for PG 7.1.
Per bug #4748 from Roman Kononov.
Backpatch to all supported releases.
This patch changes the contents of hash indexes for interval columns. That's
no particular problem for PG 8.4, since we've broken on-disk compatibility
of hash indexes already; but it will require a migration warning note in
the next minor releases of all existing branches: "if you have any hash
indexes on columns of type interval, REINDEX them after updating".

at the same instant as a new backend is spawned. Since CountActiveBackends()
doesn't hold ProcArrayLock, it needs to be prepared for the case that a
pointer at the end of the proc array is still NULL even though numProcs says
it should be valid, since it doesn't hold ProcArrayLock. Backpatch to 8.1.
8.0 and earlier had this right, but it was broken in the split of PGPROC and
sinval shared memory arrays.

TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot
after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented
by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem
with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already
fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version
of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row
variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a
tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some
simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same
bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's
built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed
memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions.
Fix by allowing a slot to contain both formats simultaneously; which turns out
not to complicate the logic much at all, if anything it seems less contorted
than before.
Back-patch to 8.2, where minimal tuples were introduced.

them from degrading badly when the input is sorted or nearly so. In this
scenario the tree is unbalanced to the point of becoming a mere linked list,
so insertions become O(N^2). The easiest and most safely back-patchable
solution is to stop growing the tree sooner, ie limit the growth of N. We
might later consider a rebalancing tree algorithm, but it's not clear that
the benefit would be worth the cost and complexity. Per report from Sergey
Burladyan and an earlier complaint from Heikki.

encoding conversion of any elog/ereport message being sent to the frontend.
This generalizes a patch that I put in last October, which suppressed
translation of only specific messages known to be associated with recursive
can't-translate-the-message behavior. As shown in bug #4680, we need a more
general answer in order to have some hope of coping with broken encoding
conversion setups. This approach seems a good deal less klugy anyway.
Patch in all supported branches.

conversion infrastructure skips calling the converters for empty strings.
However a problem was created by yesterday's patch to check whether the
right conversion function is supplied in CREATE CONVERSION. The most

looks for a CaseTestExpr to figure out what the parser did, but it failed to
consider the possibility that an implicit coercion might be inserted above
the CaseTestExpr. This could result in an Assert failure in some cases
(but correct results if Asserts weren't enabled), or an "unexpected CASE WHEN
clause" error in other cases. Per report from Alan Li.
Back-patch to 8.1; problem doesn't exist before that because CASE was
implemented differently.

TABLE: if the command is executed by someone other than the table owner (eg,
a superuser) and the table has a toast table, the toast table's pg_type row
ends up with the wrong typowner, ie, the command issuer not the table owner.
This is quite harmless for most purposes, since no interesting permissions
checks consult the pg_type row. However, it could lead to unexpected failures
if one later tries to drop the role that issued the command (in 8.1 or 8.2),
or strange warnings from pg_dump afterwards (in 8.3 and up, which will allow
the DROP ROLE because we don't create a "redundant" owner dependency for table
rowtypes). Problem identified by Cott Lang.
Back-patch to 8.1. The problem is actually far older --- the CLUSTER variant
can be demonstrated in 7.0 --- but it's mostly cosmetic before 8.1 because we
didn't track ownership dependencies before 8.1. Also, fixing it before 8.1
would require changing the call signature of heap_create_with_catalog(), which
seems to carry a nontrivial risk of breaking add-on modules.

encoding conversion functions. These are not can't-happen cases because
it's possible to create a conversion with the wrong conversion function
for the specified encoding pair. That would lead to an Assert crash in
an Assert-enabled build, or incorrect conversion otherwise, neither of
which is desirable. This would be a DOS issue if production databases
were customarily built with asserts enabled, but fortunately that's not so.
Per an observation by Heikki.

OutputFunctionCall, and friends. This allows SPI-using functions to invoke
datatype I/O without concern for the possibility that a SPI-using function
will be called (which could be either the I/O function itself, or a function
used in a domain check constraint). It's a tad ugly, but not nearly as ugly
as what'd be needed to make this work via retail insertion of push/pop
operations in all the PLs.
This reverts my patch of 2007-01-30 that inserted some retail SPI_push/pop
calls into plpgsql; that approach only fixed plpgsql, and not any other PLs.
But the other PLs have the issue too, as illustrated by a recent gripe from
Christian Schröder.
Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as this solution will work. It's
also as far back as we need to worry about the domain-constraint case, since
earlier versions did not attempt to check domain constraints within datatype
input. I'm not aware of any old I/O functions that use SPI themselves, so
this should be sufficient for a back-patch.

evidence of visible breakage before RETURNING was added, I'll desist from

when they are invoked by the parser. We had been setting up a snapshot at
plan time but really it needs to be done earlier, before parse analysis.
Per report from Dmitry Koterov.
Also fix two related problems discovered while poking at this one:
exec_bind_message called datatype input functions without establishing a
snapshot, and SET CONSTRAINTS IMMEDIATE could call trigger functions without
establishing a snapshot.
Backpatch to 8.2. The underlying problem goes much further back, but it is
masked in 8.1 and before because we didn't attempt to invoke domain check
constraints within datatype input. It would only be exposed if a C-language
datatype input function used the snapshot; which evidently none do, or we'd
have heard complaints sooner. Since this code has changed a lot over time,
a back-patch is hardly risk-free, and so I'm disinclined to patch further
than absolutely necessary.

outer join clauses. Given, say,
... from a left join b on a.a1 = b.b1 where a.a1 = 42;
we'll deduce a clause b.b1 = 42 and then mark the original join clause
redundant (we can't remove it completely for reasons I don't feel like
squeezing into this log entry). However the original implementation of
that wasn't bulletproof, because clause_selectivity() wouldn't honor
this_selec if given nonzero varRelid --- which in practice meant that
it worked as desired *except* when considering index scan quals. Which
resulted in bogus underestimation of the size of the indexscan result for
an inner indexscan in an outer join, and consequently a possibly bad
choice of indexscan vs. bitmap scan. Fix by introducing an explicit test
into clause_selectivity(). Also, to make sure we don't trigger that test
in corner cases, change the convention to be that this_selec > 1, not
this_selec = 1, means it's been marked redundant. Per trouble report from
Scara Maccai.

AND, OR, or equivalent clauses: if there are too many (more than 100) just
exit without proving anything. This ensures that we don't spend O(N^2) time
trying (and most likely failing) to prove anything about very long IN lists
and similar cases.
Also, install a couple of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls to ensure that a long
proof attempt can be interrupted.
Per gripe from Sergey Konoplev.
Back-patch the whole patch to 8.2 and just the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS addition
to 8.1. (The rest of the patch doesn't apply cleanly, and since 8.1 doesn't

we extended the appendrel mechanism to support UNION ALL optimization. The
reason nobody noticed was that we are not actually using attr_needed data for
appendrel children; hence it seems more reasonable to rip it out than fix it.
Back-patch to 8.2 because an Assert failure is possible in corner cases.
Per examination of an example from Jim Nasby.
In HEAD, also get rid of AppendRelInfo.col_mappings, which is quite inadequate
to represent UNION ALL situations; depend entirely on translated_vars instead.

recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the
client's encoding. We've been over this ground before, but as reported by
Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for
the conversion-failure message itself :-(. Fix by installing a "circuit
breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into
recursion trouble.
Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them;
though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in
order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using.
