* Avoid returning stale attribute bitmaps in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap().Tom Lane2017-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem with the original coding here is that we might receive (and clear) a relcache invalidation signal for the target relation down inside one of the index_open calls we're doing. Since the target is open, we would not drop the relcache entry, just reset its rd_indexvalid and rd_indexlist fields. But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() kept going, and would eventually cache and return potentially-obsolete attribute bitmaps. The case where this matters is where the inval signal was from a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY telling us about a new index on a formerly-unindexed column. (In all other cases, the lock we hold on the target rel should prevent any concurrent change in index state.) Even just returning the stale attribute bitmap is not such a problem, because it shouldn't matter during the transaction in which we receive the signal. What hurts is caching the stale data, because it can survive into later transactions, breaking CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY's expectation that later transactions will not create new broken HOT chains. The upshot is that there's a window for building corrupted indexes during CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This patch fixes the problem by rechecking that the set of index OIDs is still the same at the end of RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() as it was at the start. If not, we loop back and try again. That's a little more than is strictly necessary to fix the bug --- in principle, we could return the stale data but not cache it --- but it seems like a bad idea on general principles for relcache to return data it knows is stale. There might be more hazards of the same ilk, or there might be a better way to fix this one, but this patch definitely improves matters and seems unlikely to make anything worse. So let's push it into today's releases even as we continue to study the problem.

* Fix placement of initPlans when forcibly materializing a subplan.Tom Lane2017-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we forcibly place a Material node atop a finished subplan, we need to move any initPlans attached to the subplan up to the Material node, in order to keep SS_finalize_plan() happy. I'd figured this out in commit 7b67a0a49 for the case of materializing a cursor plan, but out of an abundance of caution, I put the initPlan movement hack at the call site for that case, rather than inside materialize_finished_plan(). That was the wrong thing, because it turns out to also be necessary for the only other caller of materialize_finished_plan(), ie subselect.c. We lacked any test cases that exposed the mistake, but bug#14524 from Wei Congrui shows that it's possible to get an initPlan reference into the top tlist in that case too, and then SS_finalize_plan() complains. Hence, move the hack into materialize_finished_plan(). In HEAD, also relocate some recently-added tests in subselect.sql, which I'd unthinkingly dropped into the middle of a sequence of related tests.

* Fix mishandling of tSRFs at different nesting levels.Tom Lane2017-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a targetlist like "srf(x), f(srf(x))", split_pathtarget_at_srfs() decided that it needed two levels of ProjectSet nodes, failing to notice that the two SRF calls are textually equal(). Because of that, setrefs.c would convert the upper ProjectSet's tlist to "Var1, f(Var1)" (where Var1 represents a reference to the srf(x) output of the lower ProjectSet). This triggered an assertion in nodeProjectSet.c complaining that it found no SRFs to evaluate, as reported by Erik Rijkers. What we want in such a case is to evaluate srf(x) only once and use a plain Result node to compute "Var1, f(Var1)"; that gives results similar to what previous versions produced, whereas allowing srf(x) to be evaluated again in an upper ProjectSet would square the number of rows emitted. Furthermore, even if the SRF calls aren't textually identical, we want them to be evaluated in lockstep, because that's what happened in the old implementation. But split_pathtarget_at_srfs() got this completely wrong, using two levels of ProjectSet for a case like "srf(x), f(srf(y))". Hence, rewrite split_pathtarget_at_srfs() from the ground up so that it groups SRFs according to the depth of nesting of SRFs in their arguments. This is pretty much how we envisioned that working originally, but I blew it when it came to implementation. In passing, optimize the case of target == input_target, which I noticed is not only possible but quite common. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/dcbd2853c05d22088766553d60dc78c6@xs4all.nl

* Fix CatalogTupleInsert/Update abstraction for case of shared indstate.Tom Lane2017-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo to let callers use the CatalogTupleXXX abstraction layer even in cases where we want to share the results of CatalogOpenIndexes across multiple inserts/updates for efficiency. This finishes the job begun in commit 2f5c9d9c9, by allowing some remaining simple_heap_insert/update calls to be replaced. The abstraction layer is now complete enough that we don't have to export CatalogIndexInsert at all anymore. Also, this fixes several places in which 2f5c9d9c9 introduced performance regressions by using retail CatalogTupleInsert or CatalogTupleUpdate even though the previous coding had been able to amortize CatalogOpenIndexes work across multiple tuples. A possible future improvement is to arrange for the indexing.c functions to cache the CatalogIndexState somewhere, maybe in the relcache, in which case we could get rid of CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo again. But that's a task for another day. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/27502.1485981379@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Provide CatalogTupleDelete() as a wrapper around simple_heap_delete().Tom Lane2017-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the work done in commit 2f5c9d9c9 to provide a more nearly complete abstraction layer hiding the details of index updating for catalog changes. That commit only invented abstractions for catalog inserts and updates, leaving nearby code for catalog deletes still calling the heap-level routines directly. That seems rather ugly from here, and it does little to help if we ever want to shift to a storage system in which indexing work is needed at delete time. Hence, create a wrapper function CatalogTupleDelete(), and replace calls of simple_heap_delete() on catalog tuples with it. There are now very few direct calls of [simple_]heap_delete remaining in the tree. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/462.1485902736@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Replace isMD5() with a more future-proof way to check if pw is encrypted.Heikki Linnakangas2017-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rule is that if pg_authid.rolpassword begins with "md5" and has the right length, it's an MD5 hash, otherwise it's a plaintext password. The idiom has been to use isMD5() to check for that, but that gets awkward, when we add new kinds of verifiers, like the verifiers for SCRAM authentication in the pending SCRAM patch set. Replace isMD5() with a new get_password_type() function, so that when new verifier types are added, we don't need to remember to modify every place that currently calls isMD5(), to also recognize the new kinds of verifiers. Also, use the new plain_crypt_verify function in passwordcheck, so that it doesn't need to know about MD5, or in the future, about other kinds of hashes or password verifiers.

* Tweak catalog indexing abstraction for upcoming WARMAlvaro Herrera2017-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split the existing CatalogUpdateIndexes into two different routines, CatalogTupleInsert and CatalogTupleUpdate, which do both the heap insert/update plus the index update. This removes over 300 lines of boilerplate code all over src/backend/catalog/ and src/backend/commands. The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye. Also, by encapsulating what happens in detail during an UPDATE, this facilitates the upcoming WARM patch, which is going to add a few more lines to the update case making the boilerplate even more boring. The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use left, and since it's just three lines, we can as well expand it in place there. We could keep it, but WARM is going to break all the UPDATE out-of-core callsites anyway, so there seems to be no benefit in doing so.

* Simplify some long-obsolete code in hba.c's next_token().Tom Lane2017-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | next_token() oddly set its buffer space consumption limit to one before the last char position in the buffer, not the last as you'd expect. The reason is there was once an ugly kluge to mark keywords by appending a newline to them, potentially requiring one more byte. Commit e5e2fc842 removed that kluge, but failed to notice that the length limit could be increased. Also, remove some vestigial handling of newline characters in the buffer. That was left over from when this function read the file directly using getc(). Commit 7f49a67f9 changed it to read from a buffer, from which tokenize_file had already removed the only possible occurrence of newline, but did not simplify this function in consequence. Also, ensure that we don't return with *lineptr set to someplace past the terminating '\0'; that would be catastrophic if a caller were to ask for another token from the same line. This is just latent since no callers actually do call again after a "false" return; but considering that it was actually costing us extra code to do it wrong, we might as well make it bulletproof.

* Handle ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP with pg_init_privsStephen Frost2017-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 6c268df, pg_init_privs was added to track the initial privileges of catalog objects and extensions. Unfortunately, that commit didn't include understanding of ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP, which allows the objects associated with an extension to be changed after the initial CREATE EXTENSION script has been run. The result of this meant that ACLs for objects added through ALTER EXTENSION ADD were not recorded into pg_init_privs and we would end up including those ACLs in pg_dump when we shouldn't have. This commit corrects that by making sure to have pg_init_privs updated when ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP is run, recording the permissions as they are at ALTER EXTENSION ADD time, and removing any if/when ALTER EXTENSION DROP is called. This issue was pointed out by Moshe Jacobson as commentary on bug #14456 (which was actually a bug about versions prior to 9.6 not handling custom ACLs on extensions correctly, an issue now addressed with pg_init_privs in 9.6). Back-patch to 9.6 where pg_init_privs was introduced.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | When I wrote commit ab1f0c822, I really missed the castNode() macro that Peter E. had proposed shortly before. This back-fills the uses I would have put it to. It's probably not all that significant, but there are more assertions here than there were before, and conceivably they will help catch any bugs associated with those representation changes. I left behind a number of usages like "(Query *) copyObject(query_var)". Those could have been converted as well, but Peter has proposed another notational improvement that would handle copyObject cases automatically, so I let that be for now.

* Add castNode(type, ptr) for safe casting between NodeTag based types.Andres Freund2017-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new function allows to cast from one NodeTag based type to another, while asserting that the conversion is valid. This replaces the common pattern of doing a cast and a Assert(IsA(ptr, type)) close-by. As this seems likely to be used pervasively, we decided to backpatch this change the addition of this macro. Otherwise backpatched fixes are more likely not to work on back-branches. On branches before 9.6, where we do not yet rely on inline functions being available, the type assertion is only performed if PG_USE_INLINE support is detected. The cast obviously is performed regardless. For the benefit of verifying the macro compiles in the back-branches, this commit contains a single use of the new macro. On master, a somewhat larger conversion will be committed separately.

* Ensure that a tsquery like '!foo' matches empty tsvectors.Tom Lane2017-01-26

Remove the premature optimization. Our behavior on this point was inconsistent, because while seqscans and GIST index searches both failed to match empty tsvectors, GIN index searches would find them, since GIN scans don't rely on ts_match_vq().

* Make UNKNOWN into an actual pseudo-type.Tom Lane2017-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, type "unknown" was labeled as a base type in pg_type, which perhaps had some sense to it because you were allowed to create tables with unknown-type columns. But now that we don't allow that, it makes more sense to label it a pseudo-type. This has the additional effects of forbidding use of "unknown" as a domain base type, cast source or target type, PL function argument or result type, or plpgsql local variable type; all of which seem like good holes to plug.

* Change unknown-type literals to type text in SELECT and RETURNING lists.Tom Lane2017-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we left such literals alone if the query or subquery had no properties forcing a type decision to be made (such as an ORDER BY or DISTINCT clause using that output column). This meant that "unknown" could be an exposed output column type, which has never been a great idea because it could result in strange failures later on. For example, an outer query that tried to do any operations on an unknown-type subquery output would generally fail with some weird error like "failed to find conversion function from unknown to text" or "could not determine which collation to use for string comparison". Also, if the case occurred in a CREATE VIEW's query then the view would have an unknown-type column, causing similar failures in queries trying to use the view. To fix, at the tail end of parse analysis of a query, forcibly convert any remaining "unknown" literals in its SELECT or RETURNING list to type text. However, provide a switch to suppress that, and use it in the cases of SELECT inside a set operation or INSERT command. In those cases we already had type resolution rules that make use of context information from outside the subquery proper, and we don't want to change that behavior. Also, change creation of an unknown-type column in a relation from a warning to a hard error. The error should be unreachable now in CREATE VIEW or CREATE MATVIEW, but it's still possible to explicitly say "unknown" in CREATE TABLE or CREATE (composite) TYPE. We want to forbid that because it's nothing but a foot-gun. This change creates a pg_upgrade failure case: a matview that contains an unknown-type column can't be pg_upgraded, because reparsing the matview's defining query will now decide that the column is of type text, which doesn't match the cstring-like storage that the old materialized column would actually have. Add a checking pass to detect that. While at it, we can detect tables or composite types that would fail, essentially for free. Those would fail safely anyway later on, but we might as well fail earlier. This patch is by me, but it owes something to previous investigations by Rahila Syed. Also thanks to Ashutosh Bapat and Michael Paquier for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAH2L28uwwbL9HUM-WR=hromW1Cvamkn7O-g8fPY2m=_7muJ0oA@mail.gmail.com
* Be more aggressive in avoiding tuple conversion.Robert Haas2017-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the comments in tupconvert.c, it's necessary to perform tuple conversion when either table has OIDs, and this was previously checked by ensuring that the tdtypeid value matched between the tables in question. However, that's overly stringent: we have access to tdhasoid and can test directly whether OIDs are present, which lets us avoid conversion in cases where the type OIDs are different but the tuple descriptors are entirely the same (and neither has OIDs). This is useful to the partitioning code, which can thereby avoid converting tuples when inserting into a partition whose columns appear in the same order as the parent columns, the normal case. It's possible for the tuple routing code to avoid some additional overhead in this case as well, so do that, too. It's not clear whether it would be OK to skip this when both tables have OIDs: do callers count on this to build a new tuple (losing the previous OID) in such instances? Until we figure it out, leave the behavior in that case alone. Amit Langote, reviewed by me.
* Add a SHOW command to the replication command language.Robert Haas2017-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is useful infrastructure for an upcoming proposed patch to allow the WAL segment size to be changed at initdb time; tools like pg_basebackup need the ability to interrogate the server setting. But it also doesn't seem like a bad thing to have independently of that; it may find other uses in the future. Robert Haas and Beena Emerson. (The original patch here was by Beena, but I rewrote it to such a degree that most of the code being committed here is mine.)

* Add a new DestReceiver for printing tuples without catalog access.Robert Haas2017-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you create a DestReciver of type DestRemote and try to use it from a replication connection that is not bound to a specific daabase, or any other hypothetical type of backend that is not bound to a specific database, it will fail because it doesn't have a pg_proc catalog to look up properties of the types being printed. In general, that's an unavoidable problem, but we can hardwire the properties of a few builtin types in order to support utility commands. This new DestReceiver of type DestRemoteSimple does just that. Patch by me, reviewed by Michael Paquier.

* Extend index AM API for parallel index scans.Robert Haas2017-01-24
| | | | | | | This patch doesn't actually make any index AM parallel-aware, but it provides the necessary functions at the AM layer to do so. Rahila Syed, Amit Kapila, Robert Haas
* Fix things so that updatable views work with partitioned tables.Robert Haas2017-01-24
| | | | | | | | Previously, ExecInitModifyTable was missing handling for WITH CHECK OPTION, and view_query_is_auto_updatable was missing handling for RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE. Amit Langote, reviewed by me.
* Set ecxt_scantuple correctly for tuple routing.Robert Haas2017-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | In 2ac3ef7a01df859c62d0a02333b646d65eaec5ff, we changed things so that it's possible for a different TupleTableSlot to be used for partitioned tables at successively lower levels. If we do end up changing the slot from the original, we must update ecxt_scantuple to point to the new one for partition key of the tuple to be computed correctly. Reported by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.
