Introduced in 8.4 rewrite of dependency.c.
Per bug #5072 from Amit Khandekar.

This is mainly to make the functionality consistent with the proposed \u
escape syntax.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This is intentionally similar to the recently revised syntax for EXPLAIN
options, ie, (name value, ...). The old syntax is still supported for
backwards compatibility, but we intend that any options added in future
will be provided only in the new syntax.

is unique and is not referenced above the join. In this case the inner
side doesn't affect the query result and can be thrown away entirely.
Although perhaps nobody would ever write such a thing by hand, it's
a reasonably common case in machine-generated SQL.
The current implementation only recognizes the case where the inner side
is a simple relation with a unique index matching the query conditions.
This is enough for the use-cases that have been shown so far, but we
might want to try to handle other cases later.

In practice these mistakes were always masked when full_page_writes was on,
because XLogInsert would always choose to log the full page, and then
ginRedoInsertListPage wouldn't try to do anything. But with full_page_writes
off a WAL replay failure was certain.
The GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE record type could probably be eliminated entirely
in favor of using XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE, but I refrained from doing that now
since it would have required a significantly more invasive patch.
In passing do a little bit of code cleanup, including making the accounting
for free space on GIN list pages more precise. (This wasn't a bug as the
errors were always in the conservative direction.)
Per report from Simon. Back-patch to 8.4 which contains the identical code.

if salt_len == 0. This seems to be mostly academic, since nearly all calling
code paths guarantee nonempty salt; the only case that doesn't is
PQencryptPassword where the caller could mistakenly pass an empty username.
So, fix it but don't bother backpatching. Per ljb.

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.

an explicit model of rescan costs being different from first-time costs.
The costing of Material nodes in particular now has some visible relationship
to the actual runtime behavior, where before it was essentially fantasy.
This also fixes up a couple of places where different materialized plan types
were treated differently for no very good reason (probably just oversights).
A couple of the regression tests are affected, because the planner now chooses
to put the other relation on the inside of a nestloop-with-materialize.
So far as I can see both changes are sane, and the planner is now more
consistently following the expectation that it should prefer to materialize
the smaller of two relations.
Per a recent discussion with Robert Haas.

If Apple doesn't fix that reasonably soon, we'll have to consider
back-patching a workaround; but for now, just hack it in HEAD so that
we can get buildfarm reports on HEAD from OS X machines.

In this case we generate two PathKey references to the expression (one for
DISTINCT and one for ORDER BY) and they really need to refer to the same
EquivalenceClass. However get_eclass_for_sort_expr was being overly paranoid
and creating two different EC's. Correct behavior is to use the SortGroupRef
index to decide whether two references to volatile expressions that are
equal() (ie textually equivalent) should be considered the same.
Backpatch to 8.4. Possibly this should be changed in 8.3 as well, but
I'll refrain in the absence of evidence of a visible failure in that branch.

use that value when the backend is new enough to allow it. This responds
to bug report from Keh-Cheng Chu pointing out that although 2 extra digits
should be sufficient to dump and restore float8 exactly, it is possible to
need 3 extra digits for float4 values.

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.

Before, PL/Python converted data between SQL and Python by going
through a C string representation. This broke for bytea in two ways:
- On input (function parameters), you would get a Python string that
contains bytea's particular external representation with backslashes
etc., instead of a sequence of bytes, which is what you would expect
in a Python environment. This problem is exacerbated by the new
bytea output format.
- On output (function return value), null bytes in the Python string
would cause truncation before the data gets stored into a bytea
datum.
This is now fixed by converting directly between the PostgreSQL datum
and the Python representation.
The required generalized infrastructure also allows for other
improvements in passing:
- When returning a boolean value, the SQL datum is now true if and
only if Python considers the value that was passed out of the
PL/Python function to be true. Previously, this determination was
left to the boolean data type input function. So, now returning
'foo' results in true, because Python considers it true, rather than
false because PostgreSQL considers it false.
- On input, we can convert the integer and float types directly to
their Python equivalents without having to go through an
intermediate string representation.

code was already okay with this, but the hack that obtained the output
column types of a recursive union in advance of doing real parse analysis
of the recursive union forgot to handle the case where there was an inner
WITH clause available to the non-recursive term. Best fix seems to be to
refactor so that we don't need the "throwaway" parse analysis step at all.
Instead, teach the transformSetOperationStmt code to set up the CTE's output
column information after it's processed the non-recursive term normally.

build actually attempts to advertise itself via Bonjour. Formerly it always
did so, which meant that packagers had to decide for their users whether
this behavior was wanted or not. The default is "off" to be on the safe
side, though this represents a change in the default behavior of a
Bonjour-enabled build. Per discussion.

any user-visible behavior, it just gets rid of a deprecation warning in
--with-bonjour builds. The new code will fail on OS X releases before 10.3,
but it seems unlikely that anyone will want to run Postgres 8.5 on 10.2.

Formerly, these message types would be discarded unless there was already
a stats hash table entry for the target table. However, the intent of
saving hash table space for unused tables was subverted by the fact that
the physical I/O done by the vacuum or analyze would result in an immediately
following tabstat message, which would create the hash table entry anyway.
All that we had left was surprising loss of statistical data, as in a recent
complaint from Jaime Casanova.
It seems unlikely that a real database would have many tables that go totally
untouched over the long haul, so the consensus is that this "optimization"
serves little purpose anyhow. Remove it, and just create the hash table
entry on demand in all cases.

input functions don't accept either. While the backend can handle such
values fine, they can cause trouble in clients and in pg_dump/restore.
This is followup to the original issue on time datatype reported by Andrew
McNamara a while ago. Like that one, none of these seem worth
back-patching.

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.

to occur for division by zero, even though the code is carefully avoiding
that. All available evidence is that the only functions affected are
int24div, int48div, and int28div, so patch just those three functions to
include a "return" after the ereport() call.
Backpatch to 8.4 so that the fix can be tested in production builds.
For older branches our recommendation will continue to be to use -O1
on affected platforms (which are mostly non-mainstream anyway).

that's generated for a whole-row Var referencing the subquery, when the
subquery is in the nullable side of an outer join. The previous coding
instead put PlaceHolderVars around the elements of the RowExpr. The effect
was that when the outer join made the subquery outputs go to null, the
whole-row Var produced ROW(NULL,NULL,...) rather than just NULL. There
are arguments afoot about whether those things ought to be semantically
indistinguishable, but for the moment they are not entirely so, and the
planner needs to take care that its machinations preserve the difference.
Per bug #5025.
Making this feasible required refactoring ResolveNew() to allow more caller
control over what is substituted for a Var. I chose to make ResolveNew()
a wrapper around a new general-purpose function replace_rte_variables().
I also fixed the ancient bogosity that ResolveNew might fail to set
a query's hasSubLinks field after inserting a SubLink in it. Although
all current callers make sure that happens anyway, we've had bugs of that
sort before, and it seemed like a good time to install a proper solution.
Back-patch to 8.4. The problem can be demonstrated clear back to 8.0,
but the fix would be too invasive in earlier branches; not to mention
that people may be depending on the subtly-incorrect behavior. The
8.4 series is new enough that fixing this probably won't cause complaints,
but it might in older branches. Also, 8.4 shows the incorrect behavior
in more cases than older branches do, because it is able to flatten
subqueries in more cases.

via the "flat files" facility. This requires making it enough like a backend
to be able to run transactions; it's no longer an "auxiliary process" but
more like the autovacuum worker processes. Also, its signal handling has
to be brought into line with backends/workers. In particular, since it
now has to handle procsignal.c processing, the special autovac-launcher-only
signal conditions are moved to SIGUSR2.

XID) in checkpoint records. This eliminates the need to recompute the value
from scratch during database startup, which is one of the two remaining
reasons for the flatfile code to exist. It should also simplify life for
hot-standby operation.
To avoid bloating the checkpoint records unreasonably, I switched from
tracking the oldest database by name to tracking it by OID. This turns
out to save cycles in general (everywhere but the warning-generating
paths, which we hardly care about) and also helps us deal with the case
that the oldest database got dropped instead of being vacuumed. The prior
coding might go for a long time without updating the wrap limit in that case,
which is bad because it might result in a lot of useless autovacuum activity.

(That flat file is now completely useless, but removal will come later.)
To do this, postpone client authentication into the startup transaction
that's run by InitPostgres. We still collect the startup packet and do
SSL initialization (if needed) at the same time we did before. The
AuthenticationTimeout is applied separately to startup packet collection
and the actual authentication cycle. (This is a bit annoying, since it
means a couple extra syscalls; but the signal handling requirements inside
and outside a transaction are sufficiently different that it seems best
to treat the timeouts as completely independent.)
A small security disadvantage is that if the given database name is invalid,
this will be reported to the client before any authentication happens.
We could work around that by connecting to database "postgres" instead,
but consensus seems to be that it's not worth introducing such surprising
behavior.
Processing of all command-line switches and GUC options received from the
client is now postponed until after authentication. This means that
PostAuthDelay is much less useful than it used to be --- if you need to
investigate problems during InitPostgres you'll have to set PreAuthDelay
instead. However, allowing an unauthenticated user to set any GUC options
whatever seems a bit too risky, so we'll live with that.

PostgresMain switch. In point of fact, FrontendProtocol is already set
in a backend process, since ProcessStartupPacket() is executed inside
the backend --- it hasn't been run by the postmaster for many years.
And if it were, we'd still certainly want FrontendProtocol to be set before
we get as far as PostgresMain, so that startup errors get reported in the
right protocol.
-v might have some future use in standalone backends, so I didn't go so
far as to remove the switch outright.
Also, initialize FrontendProtocol to 0 not PG_PROTOCOL_LATEST. The only
likely result of presetting it like that is to mask failure-to-set-it
mistakes.

so that their elements are always taken as simple expressions over the
query's input columns. It originally seemed like a good idea to make them
act exactly like GROUP BY and ORDER BY, right down to the SQL92-era behavior
of accepting output column names or numbers. However, that was not such a
great idea, for two reasons:
1. It permits circular references, as exhibited in bug #5018: the output
column could be the one containing the window function itself. (We actually
had a regression test case illustrating this, but nobody thought twice about
how confusing that would be.)
2. It doesn't seem like a good idea for, eg, "lead(foo) OVER (ORDER BY foo)"
to potentially use two completely different meanings for "foo".
Accordingly, narrow down the behavior of window clauses to use only the
SQL99-compliant interpretation that the expressions are simple expressions.

script.
To do this, have pg_ctl pass down its parent shell's PID in an environment
variable PG_GRANDPARENT_PID, and teach CreateLockFile() to disregard that PID
as a false match if it finds it in postmaster.pid. This allows us to cope
with one level of postgres-owned shell process even with pg_ctl in the way,
so it's just as safe as starting the postmaster directly. You still have to
be careful about how you write the initscript though.
Adjust the comments in contrib/start-scripts/ to not deprecate use of
pg_ctl. Also, fix the ROTATELOGS option in the OSX script, which was
indulging in exactly the sort of unsafe coding that renders this fix
pointless :-(. A pipe inside the "sudo" will probably result in more
than one postgres-owned process hanging around.

Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit). install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.
install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.
Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d. For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).

Instead of sending stdout/stderr to /dev/null after forking away from the
terminal, send them to postmaster.log within the data directory. Since
this opens the door to indefinite logfile bloat, recommend even more
strongly that log output be redirected when using silent_mode.
Move the postmaster's initial calls of load_hba() and load_ident() down
to after we have started the log collector, if we are going to. This
is so that errors reported by them will appear in the "usual" place.
Reclassify silent_mode as a LOGGING_WHERE, not LOGGING_WHEN, parameter,
since it's got absolutely nothing to do with the latter category.
In passing, fix some obsolete references to -S ... this option hasn't
had that switch letter for a long time.
Back-patch to 8.4, since as of 8.4 load_hba() and load_ident() are more
picky (and thus more likely to fail) than they used to be. This entire
change was driven by a complaint about those errors disappearing into
the bit bucket.
