* Fix an oversight in the original implementation of performMultipleDeletions():Tom Lane2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | the alreadyDeleted list has to be passed down through deleteDependentObjects(), else objects that are deleted via auto/internal dependencies don't get reported back up to performMultipleDeletions(). Depending on the visitation order, this could cause the code to try to delete an already-deleted object, leading to strange errors in DROP OWNED (typically "cache lookup failed for relation NNNNN" or similar). Per bug #4289. Patch for back branches only. This code has recently been rewritten in HEAD, and doesn't have this particular bug anymore.
* Fix mis-calculation of extParam/allParam sets for plan nodes, as seen inTom Lane2008-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bug #4290. The fundamental bug is that masking extParam by outer_params, as finalize_plan had been doing, caused us to lose the information that an initPlan depended on the output of a sibling initPlan. On reflection the best thing to do seemed to be not to try to adjust outer_params for this case but get rid of it entirely. The only thing it was really doing for us was to filter out param IDs associated with SubPlan nodes, and that can be done (with greater accuracy) while processing individual SubPlan nodes in finalize_primnode. This approach was vindicated by the discovery that the masking method was hiding a second bug: SS_finalize_plan failed to remove extParam bits for initPlan output params that were referenced in the main plan tree (it only got rid of those referenced by other initPlans). It's not clear that this caused any real problems, given the limited use of extParam by the executor, but it's certainly not what was intended. I originally thought that there was also a problem with needing to include indirect dependencies on external params in initPlans' param sets, but it turns out that the executor handles this correctly so long as the depended-on initPlan is earlier in the initPlans list than the one using its output. That seems a bit of a fragile assumption, but it is true at the moment, so I just documented it in some code comments rather than making what would be rather invasive changes to remove the assumption. Back-patch to 8.1. Previous versions don't have the case of initPlans referring to other initPlans' outputs, so while the existing logic is still questionable for them, there are not any known bugs to be fixed. So I'll refrain from changing them for now.
* Fix performance bug in write_syslog(): the code to preferentially break theTom Lane2008-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | log message at newlines cost O(N^2) for very long messages with few or no newlines. For messages in the megabyte range this became the dominant cost. Per gripe from Achilleas Mantzios. Patch all the way back, since this is a safe change with no portability risks. I am also thinking of increasing PG_SYSLOG_LIMIT, but that should be done separately.
* Fix estimate_num_groups() to assume that GROUP BY expressions yielding booleanTom Lane2008-07-07
| | | | | | | | | results always contribute two groups, regardless of the expression contents. This is very substantially more accurate than the regular heuristic for certain boolean tests like "col IS NULL". Per gripe from Sam Mason. Back-patch to all supported releases, since the behavior of estimate_num_groups() hasn't changed all that much since 7.4.
* Fix AT TIME ZONE (in all three variants) so that we first try to interpretTom Lane2008-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the timezone argument as a timezone abbreviation, and only try it as a full timezone name if that fails. The zic database has four zones (CET, EET, MET, WET) that are full daylight-savings zones and yet have names that are the same as their abbreviations for standard time, resulting in ambiguity. In the timestamp input functions we resolve the ambiguity by preferring the abbreviation, and AT TIME ZONE should work the same way. (No functionality is lost because the zic database also has other names for these zones, eg Europe/Zurich.) Per gripe from Jaromir Talir. Backpatch to 8.1. Older releases did not have the issue because AT TIME ZONE only accepted abbreviations not zone names. (Thus, this patch also arguably fixes a compatibility botch introduced at 8.1: in ambiguous cases we now behave the same as 8.0 did.)
* Prevent integer overflows during units conversion when displaying a GUCTom Lane2008-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | variable that has units. Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner. Backport to 8.2. I also backported my patch of 2007-06-21 that prevented comparable overflows on the input side, since that now seems to have enough field track record to be back-patched safely. That patch included addition of hints listing the available unit names, which I did not bother to strip out of it --- this will make a little more work for the translators, but they can copy the translation from 8.3, and anyway an untranslated hint is better than no hint.
* Fix a couple of bugs in win32 shmem name generation:Magnus Hagander2008-07-04

* Consider a clause to be outerjoin_delayed if it references the nullable sideTom Lane2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of any lower outer join, even if it also references the non-nullable side and so could not get pushed below the outer join anyway. We need this in case the clause is an OR clause: if it doesn't get marked outerjoin_delayed, create_or_index_quals() could pull an indexable restriction for the nullable side out of it, leading to wrong results as demonstrated by today's bug report from toruvinn. (See added regression test case for an example.) In principle this has been wrong for quite a while. In practice I don't think any branch before 8.3 can really show the failure, because create_or_index_quals() will only pull out indexable conditions, and before 8.3 those were always strict. So though we might have improperly generated null-extended rows in the outer join, they'd get discarded from the result anyway. The gating factor that makes the failure visible is that 8.3 considers "col IS NULL" to be indexable. Hence I'm not going to risk back-patching further than 8.3.

| | | | parsing. Per bug #4253 from Giorgio Valoti.
* Improve error reporting for problems in text search configuration filesTom Lane2008-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | by installing an error context subroutine that will provide the file name and line number for all errors detected while reading a config file. Some of the reader routines were already doing that in an ad-hoc way for errors detected directly in the reader, but it didn't help for problems detected in subroutines, such as encoding violations. Back-patch to 8.3 because 8.3 is where people will be trying to debug configuration files.
* Fix the code that adds regclass constants to a plan's list of relation OIDsTom Lane2008-06-17
| | | | | | | | | that it depends on for replan-forcing purposes. We need to consider plain OID constants too, because eval_const_expressions folds a RelabelType atop a Const to just a Const. This change could result in OID values that aren't really for tables getting added to the dependency list, but the worst-case consequence would be occasional useless replans. Per report from Gabriele Messineo.
* Improve the various elog messages in tuptoaster.c to report which TOAST tableTom Lane2008-06-13
| | | | | | | | | the problem happened in. These are all supposedly can't-happen cases, but when they do happen it's useful to know where. Back-patch to 8.3, but not further because the patch doesn't apply cleanly further back. Given the lack of response to my proposal of this, there doesn't seem to be enough interest to justify much back-porting effort.
* Fix bug in the WAL recovery code to finish an incomplete split.Heikki Linnakangas2008-06-11
| | | | | | | CacheInvalidateRelcache() crashes if called in WAL recovery, because the invalidation infrastructure hasn't been initialized yet. Back-patch to 8.2, where the bug was introduced.

* Fix datetime input functions to correctly detect integer overflow whenTom Lane2008-06-09

* ALTER AGGREGATE OWNER seems to have been missed by the last couple ofTom Lane2008-06-08
| | | | | | | patches that dealt with object ownership. It wasn't updating pg_shdepend nor adjusting the aggregate's ACL. In 8.2 and up, fix this permanently by making it use AlterFunctionOwner_oid. In 8.1, the function code wasn't factored that way, so just copy and paste.
* Fix pg_get_ruledef() so that negative numeric constants are parenthesized.Tom Lane2008-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | This is needed because :: casting binds more tightly than minus, so for example -1::integer is not the same as (-1)::integer, and there are cases where the difference is important. In particular this caused a failure in SELECT DISTINCT ... ORDER BY ... where expressions that should have matched were seen as different by the parser; but I suspect that there could be other cases where failure to parenthesize leads to subtler semantic differences in reloaded rules. Per report from Alexandr Popov.

* Backpatch Zdenek Kotala's fix to prevent pglz_decompress from stomping onTom Lane2008-05-28
| | | | | | | | memory if the compressed data is corrupt. Backpatch as far as 8.2. The issue exists in older branches too, but given the lack of field reports, it's not clear it's worth any additional effort to adapt the patch to the slightly different code in older branches.
* Explicitly bind gettext() to the UTF8 locale when in use.Magnus Hagander2008-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | This is required on Windows due to the special locale handling for UTF8 that doesn't change the full environment. Fixes crash with translated error messages per bugs 4180 and 4196. Tom Lane
* Fix an old corner-case bug in set_config_option: push_old_value has to beTom Lane2008-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | called before, not after, calling the assign_hook if any. This is because push_old_value might fail (due to palloc out-of-memory), and in that case there would be no stack entry to tell transaction abort to undo the GUC assignment. Of course the actual assignment to the GUC variable hasn't happened yet --- but the assign_hook might have altered subsidiary state. Without a stack entry we won't call it again to make it undo such actions. So this is necessary to make the world safe for assign_hooks with side effects. Per a discussion a couple weeks ago with Magnus. Back-patch to 8.0. 7.x did not have the problem because it did not have allocatable stacks of GUC values.
* Remove arbitrary 10MB limit on two-phase state file size. It's not that hardHeikki Linnakangas2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to go beoynd 10MB, as demonstrated by Gavin Sharry's example of dropping a schema with ~25000 objects. The really bogus thing about the limit was that it was enforced when a state file file was read in, not when it was written, so you would end up with a prepared transaction that you can't commit or abort, and the only recourse was to shut down the server and remove the file by hand. Raise the limit to MaxAllocSize, and enforce it also when a state file is written. We could've removed the limit altogether, but reading in a file larger than MaxAllocSize would fail anyway because we read it into a palloc'd buffer. Backpatch down to 8.1, where 2PC and this issue was introduced.
* Coercion sanity check in ri_HashCompareOp failed to allow for enums, as perTom Lane2008-05-19
| | | | | example from Rod Taylor. On reflection the correct test here is for any polymorphic type, not specifically ANYARRAY as in the original coding.
* Add code to eval_const_expressions() to support const-simplification ofTom Lane2008-05-15

* Don't try to close negative file descriptors, since this can causeMagnus Hagander2008-05-13
| | | | | | | crashes on certain platforms. In particular, the MSVC runtime is known to do this. Fixes bug #4162, reported and diagnosed by Javier Pimas
* Fix an ancient oversight in change_varattnos_of_a_node: it neglected to updateTom Lane2008-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | varoattno along with varattno. This resulted in having Vars that were not seen as equal(), causing inheritance of the "same" constraint from different parent relations to fail. An example is create table pp1 (f1 int check (f1>0)); create table cc1 (f2 text, f3 int) inherits (pp1); create table cc2(f4 float) inherits(pp1,cc1); Backpatch as far as 7.4. (The test case still fails in 7.4, for reasons that I don't feel like investigating at the moment.) This is a backpatch commit only. The fix will be applied in HEAD as part of the upcoming pg_constraint patch.

* Fix incorrect archive truncation point calculation in the %r recovery_commandHeikki Linnakangas2008-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | parameter. This fixes bug 4137 reported by Wojciech Strzalka, where a WAL file is deleted too early when starting the recovery of a warm standby server. Also add a sanity check in pg_standby so that it will refuse to delete anything earlier than the file being restored, and improve the debug message in case nothing is deleted. Simon Riggs. Backpatch to 8.3, which is where %r was introduced.
* The 8.2 patch that added support for an alias on the target table ofTom Lane2008-05-03
| | | | | UPDATE/DELETE forgot to teach ruleutils.c to display the alias. Per bug #4141 from Mathias Seiler.
* Fix nodeTidscan.c to not trigger an error if the block number portion ofTom Lane2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | a user-supplied TID is out of range for the relation. This is needed to preserve compatibility with our pre-8.3 behavior, and it is sensible anyway since if the query were implemented by brute force rather than optimized into a TidScan, the behavior for a non-existent TID would be zero rows out, never an error. Per gripe from Gurjeet Singh.
* Fix REASSIGN OWNED so that it works on procedural languages too.Alvaro Herrera2008-04-29
| | | | | | | The capability for changing language owners is new in 8.3, so that's how far back this needs to be backpatched. Per bug #4132 by Kirill Simonov.
* Back-patch Heikki's fix to make TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId() useTom Lane2008-04-26
| | | | | | | binary search instead of linear search when checking child-transaction XIDs. Per example from Robert Treat, the speed of TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId is significantly more important in 8.3 than it was in prior releases, so this seems worth taking back-patching risk for.
* Fix ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN ... PRIMARY KEY so that the new column is correctlyTom Lane2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | checked to see if it's been initialized to all non-nulls. The implicit NOT NULL constraint was not being checked during the ALTER (in fact, not even if there was an explicit NOT NULL too), because ATExecAddColumn neglected to set the flag needed to make the test happen. This has been broken since the capability was first added, in 8.0. Brendan Jurd, per a report from Kaloyan Iliev.
* Fix using too many LWLocks bug, reported by Craig RingerTeodor Sigaev2008-04-22
| | | | | | | <craig@postnewspapers.com.au>. It was my mistake, I missed limitation of number of held locks, now GIN doesn't use continiuous locks, but still hold buffers pinned to prevent interference with vacuum's deletion algorithm.
* Fix convert_IN_to_join to properly handle the case where the subselect'sTom Lane2008-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | output is not of the same type that's needed for the IN comparison (ie, where the parser inserted an implicit coercion above the subselect result). We should record the coerced expression, not just a raw Var referencing the subselect output, as the quantity that needs to be unique-ified if we choose to implement the IN as Unique followed by a plain join. As of 8.3 this error was causing crashes, as seen in bug #4113 from Javier Hernandez, because the executor was being told to hash or sort the raw subselect output column using operators appropriate to the coerced type. In prior versions there was no crash because the executor chose the hash or sort operators for itself based on the column type it saw. However, that's still not really right, because what's unique for one data type might not be unique for another. In corner cases we could get multiple outputs of a row that should appear only once, as demonstrated by the regression test case included in this commit. However, this patch doesn't apply cleanly to 8.2 or before, and the code involved has shifted enough over time that I'm hesitant to try to back-patch. Given the lack of complaints from the field about such corner cases, I think the bug may not be important enough to risk breaking other things with a back-patch.
* Fix a couple of places in execMain that erroneously assumed that SELECT FORTom Lane2008-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | UPDATE/SHARE couldn't occur as a subquery in a query with a non-SELECT top-level operation. Symptoms included outright failure (as in report from Mark Mielke) and silently neglecting to take the requested row locks. Back-patch to 8.3, because the visible failure in the INSERT ... SELECT case is a regression from 8.2. I'm a bit hesitant to back-patch further given the lack of field complaints.
* Fix broken compare function for tsquery_ops. Per Tom's report.Teodor Sigaev2008-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | I never understood why initial authors GiST in pgsql choose so stgrange signature for 'same' method: bool *sameFn(Datum a, Datum b, bool* result) instead of simple, logical bool sameFn(Datum a, Datum b) This change will break any existing GiST extension, so we still live with it and will live.
* Fix rmtree() so that it keeps going after failure to remove any individualTom Lane2008-04-18
| | | | | | file; the idea is that we should clean up as much as we can, even if there's some problem removing one file. Make the error messages a bit less misleading, too. In passing, const-ify function arguments.
* Fix two race conditions between the pending unlink mechanism that was put inHeikki Linnakangas2008-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | place to prevent reusing relation OIDs before next checkpoint, and DROP DATABASE. First, if a database was dropped, bgwriter would still try to unlink the files that the rmtree() call by the DROP DATABASE command has already deleted, or is just about to delete. Second, if a database is dropped, and another database is created with the same OID, bgwriter would in the worst case delete a relation in the new database that happened to get the same OID as a dropped relation in the old database. To fix these race conditions: - make rmtree() ignore ENOENT errors. This fixes the 1st race condition. - make ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests forget unlink requests as well. - force checkpoint on in dropdb on all platforms Since ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests() is asynchronous, the 2nd change isn't enough on its own to fix the problem of dropping and creating a database with same OID, but forcing a checkpoint on DROP DATABASE makes it sufficient. Per Tom Lane's bug report and proposal. Backpatch to 8.3.
* Fix a couple of oversights associated with the "physical tlist" optimization:Tom Lane2008-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we had several code paths where a physical tlist could be used for the input to a Sort node, which is a dumb idea because any unneeded table columns will increase the volume of data the sort has to push around. (Unfortunately the easy-looking fix of calling disuse_physical_tlist during make_sort_xxx doesn't work because in most cases we're already committed to the current input tlist --- it's been marked with sort column numbers, or we've built grouping column numbers using it, etc. The tlist has to be selected properly at the calling level before we start constructing sort-col information. This is easy enough to do, we were just failing to take the point into consideration.) Back-patch to 8.3. I believe the problem probably exists clear back to 7.4 when the physical tlist optimization was added, but I'm afraid to back-patch further than 8.3 without a great deal more study than I want to put into it. The code in this area has drifted a lot over time. The real-world importance of these code paths is uncertain anyway --- I think in many cases we'd probably prefer hash-based methods.
* Repair two places where SIGTERM exit could leave shared memory stateTom Lane2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem, but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around. Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1, and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching further.
* Fix LOAD_CRIT_INDEX() macro to take out AccessShareLock on the system indexTom Lane2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | it is trying to build a relcache entry for. This is an oversight in my 8.2 patch that tried to ensure we always took a lock on a relation before trying to build its relcache entry. The implication is that if someone committed a reindex of a critical system index at about the same time that some other backend were starting up without a valid pg_internal.init file, the second one might PANIC due to not seeing any valid version of the index's pg_class row. Improbable case, but definitely not impossible.
* Fix several datatype input functions that were allowing unused bytes in theirTom Lane2008-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | results to contain uninitialized, unpredictable values. While this was okay as far as the datatypes themselves were concerned, it's a problem for the parser because occurrences of the "same" literal might not be recognized as equal by datumIsEqual (and hence not by equal()). It seems sufficient to fix this in the input functions since the only critical use of equal() is in the parser's comparisons of ORDER BY and DISTINCT expressions. Per a trouble report from Marc Cousin. Patch all the way back. Interestingly, array_in did not have the bug before 8.2, which may explain why the issue went unnoticed for so long.
* Fix tsvector_update_trigger() to be domain-friendly: it needs to allow allTom Lane2008-04-08
| | | | | | the columns it works with to be domains over the expected type, not just exactly the expected type. In passing, fix ts_stat() the same way. Per report from Markus Wollny.
