* Make plan_cluster_use_sort cope with no IndexOptInfo for the target index.Tom Lane2011-04-20
| | | | | | | | | The original coding assumed that such a case represents caller error, but actually get_relation_info will omit generating an IndexOptInfo for any index it thinks is unsafe to use. Therefore, handle this case by returning "true" to indicate that a seqscan-and-sort is the preferred way to implement the CLUSTER operation. New bug in 9.1, no backpatch needed. Per bug #5985 from Daniel Grace.
* Avoid changing an index's indcheckxmin horizon during REINDEX.Tom Lane2011-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There can never be a need to push the indcheckxmin horizon forward, since any HOT chains that are actually broken with respect to the index must pre-date its original creation. So we can just avoid changing pg_index altogether during a REINDEX operation. This offers a cleaner solution than my previous patch for the problem found a few days ago that we mustn't try to update pg_index while we are reindexing it. System catalog indexes will always be created with indcheckxmin = false during initdb, and with this modified code we should never try to change their pg_index entries. This avoids special-casing system catalogs as the former patch did, and should provide a performance benefit for many cases where REINDEX formerly caused an index to be considered unusable for a short time. Back-patch to 8.3 to cover all versions containing HOT. Note that this patch changes the API for index_build(), but I believe it is unlikely that any add-on code is calling that directly.
* Revert "Prevent incorrect updates of pg_index while reindexing pg_index itself."Tom Lane2011-04-19
| | | | | This reverts commit 4b6106ccfea21e86943f881edcf3cfc03661a415 of 2011-04-15. There's a better way to do it, which will follow shortly.
* Refrain from canonicalizing a client_encoding setting of "UNICODE".Tom Lane2011-04-19
| | | | | | | | | While "UTF8" is the correct name for this encoding, existing JDBC drivers expect that if they send "UNICODE" it will read back the same way; they fail with an opaque "Protocol error" complaint if not. This will be fixed in the 9.1 drivers, but until older drivers are no longer in use in the wild, we'd better leave "UNICODE" alone. Continue to canonicalize all other inputs. Per report from Steve Singer and subsequent discussion.
* Fix handling of collations in multi-row VALUES constructs.Tom Lane2011-04-18
| | | | | | | | | Per spec we ought to apply select_common_collation() across the expressions in each column of the VALUES table. The original coding was just taking the first row and assuming it was representative. This patch adds a field to struct RangeTblEntry to carry the resolved collations, so initdb is forced for changes in stored rule representation.
* Only allow typed tables to hang off composite types, not e.g. tables.Robert Haas2011-04-18
| | | | | | | | | This also ensures that we take a relation lock on the composite type when creating a typed table, which is necessary to prevent the composite type and the typed table from getting out of step in the face of concurrent DDL. Noah Misch, with some changes.
* recoveryStopsHere() must check the resource manager ID.Robert Haas2011-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | Before commit c016ce728139be95bb0dc7c4e5640507334c2339, this wasn't needed, but now that multiple resource manager IDs can percolate down through here, we have to make sure we know which one we've got. Otherwise, we can confuse (for example) an XLOG_XACT_COMMIT record with an XLOG_CHECKPOINT_SHUTDOWN record. Review by Jaime Casanova
* Add check for matching column collations in ALTER TABLE ... INHERIT.Tom Lane2011-04-17
| | | | | | | The other DDL operations that create an inheritance relationship were checking for collation match already, but this one got missed. Also fix comments that failed to mention collation checks.
* foreach() and list_delete() don't mix.Tom Lane2011-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Fix crash when releasing duplicate entries in the encoding conversion cache list, caused by releasing the current entry of the list being chased by foreach(). We have a standard idiom for handling such cases, but this loop wasn't using it. This got broken in my recent rewrite of GUC assign hooks. Not sure how I missed this when testing the modified code, but I did. Per report from Peter.
* Add an Assert that indexam.c isn't used on an index awaiting reindexing.Tom Lane2011-04-16
| | | | | | | This might have caught the recent embarrassment over trying to modify pg_index while its indexes were being rebuilt. Noah Misch
* Simplify reindex_relation's API.Tom Lane2011-04-16
| | | | | | | For what seem entirely historical reasons, a bitmask "flags" argument was recently added to reindex_relation without subsuming its existing boolean argument into that bitmask. This seems a bit bizarre, so fold them together.
* Clean up collation processing in prepunion.c.Tom Lane2011-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | This area was a few bricks shy of a load, and badly under-commented too. We have to ensure that the generated targetlist entries for a set-operation node expose the correct collation for each entry, since higher-level processing expects the tlist to reflect the true ordering of the plan's output. This hackery wouldn't be necessary if SortGroupClause carried collation info ... but making it do so would inject more pain in the parser than would be saved here. Still, we might want to rethink that sometime.
* Prevent incorrect updates of pg_index while reindexing pg_index itself.Tom Lane2011-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The places that attempt to change pg_index.indcheckxmin during a reindexing operation cannot be executed safely if pg_index itself is the subject of the operation. This is the explanation for a couple of recent reports of VACUUM FULL failing with ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pg_index_indexrelid_index" DETAIL: Key (indexrelid)=(2678) already exists. However, there isn't any real need to update indcheckxmin in such a situation, if we assume that pg_index can never contain a truly broken HOT chain. This assumption holds if new indexes are never created on it during concurrent operations, which is something we don't consider safe for any system catalog, not just pg_index. Accordingly, modify the code to not manipulate indcheckxmin when reindexing any system catalog. Back-patch to 8.3, where HOT was introduced. The known failure scenarios involve 9.0-style VACUUM FULL, so there might not be any real risk before 9.0, but let's not assume that.
* Guard against incoming rowcount estimate of NaN in cost_mergejoin().Tom Lane2011-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | Although rowcount estimates really ought not be NaN, a bug elsewhere could perhaps result in that, and that would cause Assert failure in cost_mergejoin, which I believe to be the explanation for bug #5977 from Anton Kuznetsov. Seems like a good idea to expend a couple more cycles to prevent that, even though the real bug is elsewhere. Not back-patching, though, because we don't encourage running production systems with Asserts on.
* Reduce the initial size of local lock hash to 16 entries.Heikki Linnakangas2011-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | The hash table is seq scanned at transaction end, to release all locks, and making the hash table larger than necessary makes that slower. With very simple queries, that overhead can amount to a few percent of the total CPU time used. At the moment, backend startup needs 6 locks, and a simple query with one table and index needs 3 locks. 16 is enough for even quite complicated transactions, and it will grow automatically if it fills up.
* Remove obsolete comment.Robert Haas2011-04-13
| | | | | | | The lock level for adding a parent table is now ShareUpdateExclusiveLock; see commit fbcf4b92aa64d4577bcf25925b055316b978744a. This comment didn't get updated to match, but it doesn't seem important to mention this detail here, so rather than updating it now, just take it out.
* Fix toast table creation.Robert Haas2011-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using slightly-too-clever heuristics to decide when we must create a TOAST table, just check whether one is needed every time the table is altered. Checking whether a toast table is needed is cheap enough that we needn't worry about doing it on every ALTER TABLE command, and the previous coding is apparently prone to accidental breakage: commit 04e17bae50a73af524731fa11210d5c3f7d8e1f9 broken ALTER TABLE .. SET STORAGE, which moved some actions from AT_PASS_COL_ATTRS to AT_PASS_MISC, and commit 6c5723998594dffa5d47c3cf8c96ccf89c033aae broke ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN by changing the way that adding columns recurses into child tables. Noah Misch, with one comment change by me
* Ensure mark_dummy_rel doesn't create dangling pointers in RelOptInfos.Tom Lane2011-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are doing GEQO join planning, the current memory context is a short-lived context that will be reset at the end of geqo_eval(). However, the RelOptInfos for base relations are set up before that and then re-used across many GEQO cycles. Hence, any code that modifies a baserel during join planning has to be careful not to put pointers to the short-lived context into the baserel struct. mark_dummy_rel got this wrong, leading to easy-to-reproduce-once-you-know-how crashes in 8.4, as reported off-list by Leo Carson of SDSC. Some improvements made in 9.0 make it difficult to demonstrate the crash in 9.0 or HEAD; but there's no doubt that there's still a risk factor here, so patch all branches that have the function. (Note: 8.3 has a similar function, but it's only applied to joinrels and thus is not a hazard.)
* Avoid incorrectly granting replication to roles created with NOSUPERUSER.Robert Haas2011-04-13
| | | | Andres Freund
* On HP/UX, the structs used by ioctl(SIOCGLIFCONF) are named differentlyHeikki Linnakangas2011-04-13
| | | | | | | | than on other platforms, and only IPv6 addresses are returned. Because of those two issues, fall back to ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) on HP/UX, so that it at least compiles and finds IPv4 addresses. This function is currently only used for interpreting samehost/samenet in pg_hba.conf, which isn't that critical.
* Revert the patch to check if we've reached end-of-backup also when doingHeikki Linnakangas2011-04-13
| | | | | | | | | crash recovery, and throw an error if not. hubert depesz lubaczewski pointed out that that situation also happens in the crash recovery following a system crash that happens during an online backup. We might want to do something smarter in 9.1, like put the check back for backups taken with pg_basebackup, but that's for another patch.
* On IA64 architecture, we check the depth of the register stack in additionHeikki Linnakangas2011-04-13
| | | | | to the regular stack. The code to do that is platform and compiler specific, add support for the HP-UX native compiler.
* Pass collations to functions in FunctionCallInfoData, not FmgrInfo.Tom Lane2011-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function, FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive patch...
* Be more wary of missing statistics in eqjoinsel_semi().Tom Lane2011-04-12
| | | | | | | | In particular, if we don't have real ndistinct estimates for both sides, fall back to assuming that half of the left-hand rows have join partners. This is what was done in 8.2 and 8.3 (cf nulltestsel() in those versions). It's pretty stupid but it won't lead us to think that an antijoin produces no rows out, as seen in recent example from Uwe Schroeder.
* Fix RI_Initial_Check to use a COLLATE clause when needed in its query.Tom Lane2011-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the referencing and referenced columns have different collations, the parser will be unable to resolve which collation to use unless it's helped out in this way. The effects are sometimes masked, if we end up using a non-collation-sensitive plan; but if we do use a mergejoin we'll see a failure, as recently noted by Robert Haas. The SQL spec states that the referenced column's collation should be used to resolve RI checks, so that's what we do. Note however that we currently don't append a COLLATE clause when writing a query that examines only the referencing column. If we ever support collations that have varying notions of equality, that will have to be changed. For the moment, though, it's preferable to leave it off so that we can use a normal index on the referencing column.
* Clean up most -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings from gcc 4.6Peter Eisentraut2011-04-11
| | | | | | This warning is new in gcc 4.6 and part of -Wall. This patch cleans up most of the noise, but there are some still warnings that are trickier to remove.
* Teach pattern_fixed_prefix() about collations.Tom Lane2011-04-11
| | | | | | This is necessary, not optional, now that ILIKE and regexes are collation aware --- else we might derive a wrong comparison constant for index optimized pattern matches.
* TransferPredicateLocksToNewTarget should initialize a new lockHeikki Linnakangas2011-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | entry's commitSeqNo to that of the old one being transferred, or take the minimum commitSeqNo if it is merging two lock entries. Also, CreatePredicateLock should initialize commitSeqNo for to InvalidSerCommitSeqNo instead of to 0. (I don't think using 0 would actually affect anything, but we should be consistent.) I also added a couple of assertions I used to track this down: a lock's commitSeqNo should never be zero, and it should be InvalidSerCommitSeqNo if and only if the lock is not held by OldCommittedSxact. Dan Ports, to fix leak of predicate locks reported by YAMAMOTO Takashi.
* Fix the size of predicate lock manager's shared memory hash tables at creation.Heikki Linnakangas2011-04-11
| | | | | This way they don't compete with the regular lock manager for the slack shared memory, making the behavior more predictable.
* Insert dummy "break"s to silence compiler complaints.Tom Lane2011-04-10
| | | | | Apparently some compilers dislike a case label with nothing after it. Per buildfarm.
* Teach regular expression operators to honor collations.Tom Lane2011-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This involves getting the character classification and case-folding functions in the regex library to use the collations infrastructure. Most of this work had been done already in connection with the upper/lower and LIKE logic, so it was a simple matter of transposition. While at it, split out these functions into a separate source file regc_pg_locale.c, so that they can be correctly labeled with the Postgres project's license rather than the Scriptics license. These functions are 100% Postgres-written code whereas what remains in regc_locale.c is still mostly not ours, so lumping them both under the same copyright notice was getting more and more misleading.

* Clean up overly complex code for issuing some related error messages.Tom Lane2011-04-09
| | | | | The original version was unreadable, and not mechanically checkable either.
* Add collation support on Windows (MSVC build)Peter Eisentraut2011-04-10
| | | | | There is not yet support in initdb to populate the pg_collation catalog, but if that is done manually, the rest should work.
* Fix ILIKE to honor collation when working in single-byte encodings.Tom Lane2011-04-09
| | | | | | The original collation patch only fixed the multi-byte code path. This change also ensures that ILIKE's idea of the case-folding rules is exactly the same as str_tolower's.
* Adjust collation determination rules as per discussion.Tom Lane2011-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove crude hack that tried to propagate collation through a function-returning-record, ie, from the function's arguments to individual fields selected from its result record. That is just plain inconsistent, because the function result is composite and cannot have a collation; and there's no hope of making this kind of action-at-a-distance work consistently. Adjust regression test cases that expected this to happen. Meanwhile, the behavior of casting to a domain with a declared collation stays the same as it was, since that seemed to be the consensus.
* Clean up minor collation issues in indxpath.c.Tom Lane2011-04-08
| | | | | | | | | Get rid of bogus collation test in match_special_index_operator (even for ILIKE, the pattern match operator's collation doesn't matter here, and even if it did the test was testing the wrong thing). Fix broken looping logic in expand_indexqual_rowcompare. Add collation check in match_clause_to_ordering_op. Make naming and argument ordering more consistent; improve comments.
* Fix make_greater_string to not have an undocumented collation assumption.Tom Lane2011-04-08
| | | | | | | | The previous coding worked only if ltproc->fn_collation was always either DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID or a C-compatible locale. While that's true at the moment, it wasn't documented (and in fact wasn't true when this code was committed...). But it only takes a couple more lines to make its internal caching behavior locale-aware, so let's do that.
* Truncate the predicate lock SLRU to empty, instead of almost empty.Robert Haas2011-04-08
| | | | | | | | | Otherwise, the SLRU machinery can get confused and think that the SLRU has wrapped around. Along the way, regardless of whether we're truncating all of the SLRU or just some of it, flush pages after truncating, rather than before. Kevin Grittner
* Tweak collation setup for GIN index comparison functions.Tom Lane2011-04-08
| | | | | | | Honor index column's collation spec if there is one, don't go to the expense of calling get_typcollation when we can reasonably assume that all GIN storage types will use default collation, and be sure to set a collation for the comparePartialFn too.
* Avoid an unnecessary syscache lookup in parse_coerce.c.Tom Lane2011-04-08
| | | | | | All the other fields of the constant are being extracted from the syscache entry we already have, so handle collation similarly. (There don't seem to be any other uses for the new function at the moment.)
* Fix bug in propagating ALTER TABLE actions to typed tables.Robert Haas2011-04-08
| | | | | | | We need to propagate such actions to all typed table children of a given type, not just the first one. Noah Misch
* Partially roll back overenthusiastic SSI optimization.Robert Haas2011-04-08
| | | | | | | | | When a regular lock is held, SSI can use that in lieu of a predicate lock to detect rw conflicts; but if the regular lock is being taken by a subtransaction, we can't assume that it'll commit, so releasing the parent transaction's lock in that case is a no-no. Kevin Grittner
* Tweaks for SSI out-of-shared memory behavior.Robert Haas2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we call hash_search() with HASH_ENTER, it will bail out rather than return NULL, so it's redundant to check for NULL again in the caller. Thus, in cases where we believe it's impossible for the hash table to run out of slots anyway, we can simplify the code slightly. On the flip side, in cases where it's theoretically possible to run out of space, we don't want to rely on dynahash.c to throw an error; instead, we pass HASH_ENTER_NULL and throw the error ourselves if a NULL comes back, so that we can provide a more descriptive error message. Kevin Grittner
* Modernize dlopen interface code for FreeBSD and OpenBSD.Tom Lane2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | Remove the hard-wired assumption that __mips__ (and only __mips__) lacks dlopen in FreeBSD and OpenBSD. This assumption is outdated at least for OpenBSD, as per report from an anonymous 9.1 tester. We can perfectly well use HAVE_DLOPEN instead to decide which code to use. Some other cosmetic adjustments to make freebsd.c, netbsd.c, and openbsd.c exactly alike.
* Fix collations when we call transformWhereClause from outside the parser.Tom Lane2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | Previous patches took care of assorted places that call transformExpr from outside the main parser, but I overlooked the fact that some places use transformWhereClause as a shortcut for transformExpr + coerce_to_boolean. In particular this broke collation-sensitive index WHERE clauses, as per report from Thom Brown. Trigger WHEN and rule WHERE clauses too. I'm not forcing initdb for this fix, but any affected indexes, triggers, or rules will need to be dropped and recreated.
* 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".
* Repair some flakiness in CheckTargetForConflictsIn.Robert Haas2011-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | When we release and reacquire SerializableXactHashLock, we must recheck whether an R/W conflict still needs to be flagged, because it could have changed under us in the meantime. And when we release the partition lock, we must re-walk the list of predicate locks from the beginning, because our pointer could get invalidated under us. Bug report #5952 by Yamamoto Takashi. Patch by Kevin Grittner.
