* DefineType: return base type OID, not its arrayAlvaro Herrera2014-08-25
| | | | | | Event triggers want to know the OID of the interesting object created, which is the main type. The array created as part of the operation is just a subsidiary object which is not of much interest.
* Have CREATE TABLE AS and REFRESH return an OIDAlvaro Herrera2014-08-25
| | | | | | Other DDL commands are already returning the OID, which is required for future additional event trigger work. This is merely making these commands in line with the rest of utility command support.

* Fix another ancient memory-leak bug in relcache.c.Tom Lane2014-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CheckConstraintFetch() leaked a cstring in the caller's context for each CHECK constraint expression it copied into the relcache. Ordinarily that isn't problematic, but it can be during CLOBBER_CACHE testing because so many reloads can happen during a single query; so complicate the code slightly to allow freeing the cstring after use. Per testing on buildfarm member barnacle. This is exactly like the leak fixed in AttrDefaultFetch() by commit 078b2ed291c758e7125d72c3a235f128d40a232b. (Yes, this time I did look for other instances of the same coding pattern :-(.) Like that patch, no back-patch, since it seems unlikely that there's any problem except under very artificial test conditions. BTW, it strikes me that both of these places would require further work comparable to commit ab8c84db2f7af008151b848cf1d6a4672a39eecd, if we ever supported defaults or check constraints on system catalogs: they both assume they are copying into an empty relcache data structure, and that conceivably wouldn't be the case during recursive reloading of a system catalog. This does not seem worth worrying about for the moment, since there is no near-term prospect of supporting any such thing. So I'll just note the possibility for the archives' sake.
* Implement ALTER TABLE .. SET LOGGED / UNLOGGEDAlvaro Herrera2014-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | This enables changing permanent (logged) tables to unlogged and vice-versa. (Docs for ALTER TABLE / SET TABLESPACE got shuffled in an order that hopefully makes more sense than the original.)

* Fix corner-case behaviors in JSON/JSONB field extraction operators.Tom Lane2014-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cause the path extraction operators to return their lefthand input, not NULL, if the path array has no elements. This seems more consistent since the case ought to correspond to applying the simple extraction operator (->) zero times. Cause other corner cases in field/element/path extraction to return NULL rather than failing. This behavior is arguably more useful than throwing an error, since it allows an expression index using these operators to be built even when not all values in the column are suitable for the extraction being indexed. Moreover, we already had multiple inconsistencies between the path extraction operators and the simple extraction operators, as well as inconsistencies between the JSON and JSONB code paths. Adopt a uniform rule of returning NULL rather than throwing an error when the JSON input does not have a structure that permits the request to be satisfied. Back-patch to 9.4. Update the release notes to list this as a behavior change since 9.3.
* Rework 'MOVE ALL' to 'ALTER .. ALL IN TABLESPACE'Stephen Frost2014-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | As 'ALTER TABLESPACE .. MOVE ALL' really didn't change the tablespace but instead changed objects inside tablespaces, it made sense to rework the syntax and supporting functions to operate under the 'ALTER (TABLE|INDEX|MATERIALIZED VIEW)' syntax and to be in tablecmds.c. Pointed out by Alvaro, who also suggested the new syntax. Back-patch to 9.4.
* Fix core dump in jsonb #> operator, and add regression test cases.Tom Lane2014-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | jsonb's #> operator segfaulted (dereferencing a null pointer) if the RHS was a zero-length array, as reported in bug #11207 from Justin Van Winkle. json's #> operator returns NULL in such cases, so for the moment let's make jsonb act likewise. Also add a bunch of regression test queries memorializing the -> and #> operators' behavior for this and other corner cases. There is a good argument for changing some of these behaviors, as they are not very consistent with each other, and throwing an error isn't necessarily a desirable behavior for operators that are likely to be used in indexes. However, everybody can agree that a core dump is the Wrong Thing, and we need test cases even if we decide to change their expected output later.
* Use comma+space as the separator in the default search_path.Heikki Linnakangas2014-08-20
| | | | | | | | While the space is optional, it seems nicer to be consistent with what you get if you do "SET search_path=...". SET always normalizes the separator to be comma+space. Christoph Martin
* Revert "Fix bug in checking of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM result."Fujii Masao2014-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 083d29c65b7897f90c70e6dc0a4240a5fa75c8f2. The commit changed the code so that it causes an errors when IDENTIFY_SYSTEM returns three columns. But which prevents us from using the replication-related utilities against the server with older version. This is not what we want. For that compatibility, we allow the utilities to receive three columns as the result of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM eventhough it actually returns four columns in 9.4 or later. Pointed out by Andres Freund.
* Fix bug in checking of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM result.Fujii Masao2014-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 5a991ef8692ed0d170b44958a81a6bd70e90585 added new column into the result of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM command. But it was not reflected into several codes checking that result. Specifically though the number of columns in the result was increased to 4, it was still compared with 3 in some replication codes. Back-patch to 9.4 where the number of columns in IDENTIFY_SYSTEM result was increased. Report from Michael Paquier
* Finish adding file version information to installed Windows binaries.Noah Misch2014-08-18

* Replace a few strncmp() calls with strlcpy().Noah Misch2014-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | strncmp() is a specialized API unsuited for routine copying into fixed-size buffers. On a system where the length of a single filename can exceed MAXPGPATH, the pg_archivecleanup change prevents a simple crash in the subsequent strlen(). Few filesystems support names that long, and calling pg_archivecleanup with untrusted input is still not a credible use case. Therefore, no back-patch. David Rowley
* Reorganize functions in be-secure-openssl.cHeikki Linnakangas2014-08-18
| | | | | | | | | Move the functions within the file so that public interface functions come first, followed by internal functions. Previously, be_tls_write was first, then internal stuff, and finally the rest of the public interface, which clearly didn't make much sense. Per Andres Freund's complaint.
* Use ISO 8601 format for dates converted to JSON, too.Tom Lane2014-08-17
| | | | | | | | Commit f30015b6d794c15d52abbb3df3a65081fbefb1ed made this happen for timestamp and timestamptz, but it seems pretty inconsistent to not do it for simple dates as well. (In passing, I re-pgindent'd json.c.)
* Fix bogus return macros in range_overright_internal().Tom Lane2014-08-16
| | | | | | | | | PG_RETURN_BOOL() should only be used in functions following the V1 SQL function API. This coding accidentally fails to fail since letting the compiler coerce the Datum representation of bool back to plain bool does give the right answer; but that doesn't make it a good idea. Back-patch to older branches just to avoid unnecessary code divergence.

* Prevent memory leaks in parseRelOptions().Tom Lane2014-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parseRelOptions() tended to leak memory in the caller's context. Most of the time this doesn't really matter since the caller's context is at most query-lifespan, and the function won't be invoked very many times. However, when testing with CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY, the same relcache entry can get rebuilt a *lot* of times in one query, leading to significant intraquery memory bloat if it has any reloptions. Noted while investigating a related report from Tomas Vondra. In passing, get rid of some Asserts that are redundant with the one done by deconstruct_array(). As with other patches to avoid leaks in CLOBBER_CACHE testing, it doesn't really seem worth back-patching this.
* Prevent memory leaks in RelationGetIndexList, RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap.Tom Lane2014-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When replacing rd_indexlist, rd_indexattr, etc, we neglected to pfree any old value of these fields. Under ordinary circumstances, the old value would always be NULL, so this seemed reasonable enough. However, in cases where we're rebuilding a system catalog's relcache entry and another cache flush occurs on that same catalog meanwhile, it's possible for the field to not be NULL when we return to the outer level, because we already refilled it while recovering from the inner flush. This leads to a fairly small session-lifespan leak in CacheMemoryContext. In real-world usage the leak would be too small to notice; but in testing with CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY the leakage can add up to the point of causing OOM failures, as reported by Tomas Vondra. The issue has been there a long time, but it only seems worth fixing in HEAD, like the previous fix in this area (commit 078b2ed291c758e7).
* Be less aggressive in asking for feedback of logical walsender clients.Andres Freund2014-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When doing logical decoding using START_LOGICAL_REPLICATION in a walsender process the walsender sometimes was sending out keepalive messages too frequently. Asking for feedback every time. WalSndWaitForWal() sends out keepalive messages when it's waiting for new WAL to be generated locally when it sees that the remote side hasn't yet flushed WAL up to the local position. That generally is good but causes problems if the remote side only writes but doesn't flush changes yet. So check for both remote write and flush position. Additionally we've asked for feedback to the keepalive message which isn't warranted when waiting for WAL in contrast to preventing timeouts because of wal_sender_timeout. Complaint and patch by Steve Singer.
* Change first call of ProcessConfigFile so as to process only data_directory.Fujii Masao2014-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf have their own entry of the same parameter, PostgreSQL uses the entry in postgresql.auto.conf because it appears last in the configuration scan. IOW, the other entries which appear earlier are ignored. But, previously, ProcessConfigFile() detected the invalid settings of even those unused entries and emitted the error messages complaining about them, at postmaster startup. Complaining about the entries to ignore is basically useless. This problem happened because ProcessConfigFile() was called twice at postmaster startup and the first call read only postgresql.conf. That is, the first call could check the entry which might be ignored eventually by the second call which read both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf. To work around the problem, this commit changes ProcessConfigFile so that its first call processes only data_directory and the second one does all the entries. It's OK to process data_directory in the first call because it's ensured that data_directory doesn't exist in postgresql.auto.conf. Back-patch to 9.4 where postgresql.auto.conf was added. Patch by me. Review by Amit Kapila
* Break out OpenSSL-specific code to separate files.Heikki Linnakangas2014-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines, USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is supposed to be used for implementation-independent code. The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring. Based on a patch by Martijn van Oosterhout from 2006. Briefly reviewed by Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.
* Clean up handling of unknown-type inputs in json_build_object and friends.Tom Lane2014-08-09
| | | | | | | | There's actually no need for any special case for unknown-type literals, since we only need to push the value through its output function and unknownout() works fine. The code that was here was completely bizarre anyway, and would fail outright in cases that should work, not to mention suffering from some copy-and-paste bugs.
* Further cleanup of JSON-specific error messages.Tom Lane2014-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix an obvious typo in json_build_object()'s complaint about invalid number of arguments, and make the errhint a bit more sensible too. Per discussion about how to word the improved hint, change the few places in the documentation that refer to JSON object field names as "names" to say "keys" instead, since that's what we've said in the vast majority of places in the docs. Arguably "name" is more correct, since that's the terminology used in RFC 7159; but we're stuck with "key" in view of the naming of json_object_keys() so let's at least be self-consistent. I adjusted a few code comments to match this as well, and failed to resist the temptation to clean up some odd whitespace choices in the same area, as well as a useless duplicate PG_ARGISNULL() check. There's still quite a bit of code that uses the phrase "field name" in non-user- visible ways, so I left those usages alone.
* Reject duplicate column names in foreign key referenced-columns lists.Tom Lane2014-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Such cases are disallowed by the SQL spec, and even if we wanted to allow them, the semantics seem ambiguous: how should the FK columns be matched up with the columns of a unique index? (The matching could be significant in the presence of opclasses with different notions of equality, so this issue isn't just academic.) However, our code did not previously reject such cases, but instead would either fail to match to any unique index, or generate a bizarre opclass-lookup error because of sloppy thinking in the index-matching code.

* pg_upgrade: prevent oid conflicts with new-cluster TOAST tablesBruce Momjian2014-08-07

* Don't require sort support functions to provide a comparator.Robert Haas2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | This could be useful for datatypes like text, where we might want to optimize for some collations but not others. However, this patch doesn't introduce any new sortsupport functions that work this way; it merely revises the code so that future patches may do so. Patch by me. Review by Peter Geoghegan.
* Change ParseConfigFp() so that it doesn't process unused entry of each ↵Fujii Masao2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parameter. When more than one setting entries of same parameter exist in the configuration file, PostgreSQL uses only entry appearing last in configuration file scan. Since the other entries are not used, ParseConfigFp() doesn't need to process them, but previously it did that. This problematic behavior caused the configuration file scan to detect invalid settings of unused entries (e.g., existence of multiple entries of PGC_POSTMASTER parameter) and log the messages complaining about them. This commit changes the configuration file scan so that it processes only last entry of each parameter. Note that when multiple entries of same parameter exist both in postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf, unused entries in postgresql.conf are still processed only at postmaster startup. The problem has existed since old version, but a user is more likely to encounter it since 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM command was introduced. So back-patch to 9.4. Amit Kapila, slightly modified by me. Per report from Christoph Berg.

* Move log_newpage and log_newpage_buffer to xlog.c.Heikki Linnakangas2014-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | log_newpage is used by many indexams, in addition to heap, but for historical reasons it's always been part of the heapam rmgr. Starting with 9.3, we have another WAL record type for logging an image of a page, XLOG_FPI. Simplify things by moving log_newpage and log_newpage_buffer to xlog.c, and switch to using the XLOG_FPI record type. Bump the WAL version number because the code to replay the old HEAP_NEWPAGE records is removed.
* Avoid wholesale autovacuuming when autovacuum is nominally off.Tom Lane2014-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovac workers to vacuum tables that are at risk of XID wraparound. But after we'd done that, an autovac worker would proceed to autovacuum every table in the targeted database, if they meet the usual thresholds for autovacuuming. This is at best pretty unexpected; at worst it delays response to the wraparound threat. Fix it so that if autovacuum is nominally off, we *only* do forced vacuums and not any other work. Per gripe from Andrey Zhidenkov. This has been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix mishandling of background worker PGPROCs in EXEC_BACKEND builds.Robert Haas2014-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | InitProcess() relies on IsBackgroundWorker to decide whether the PGPROC for a new backend should be taken from ProcGlobal's freeProcs or from bgworkerFreeProcs. In EXEC_BACKEND builds, InitProcess() is called sooner than in non-EXEC_BACKEND builds, and IsBackgroundWorker wasn't getting initialized soon enough. Report by Noah Misch. Diagnosis and fix by me.
* Avoid uselessly looking up old LOCK_ONLY multixactsAlvaro Herrera2014-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0ac5ad5134f2 removed an optimization in multixact.c that skipped fetching members of MultiXactId that were older than our OldestVisibleMXactId value. The reason this was removed is that it is possible for multixacts that contain updates to be older than that value. However, if the caller is certain that the multi does not contain an update (because the infomask bits say so), it can pass this info down to GetMultiXactIdMembers, enabling it to use the old optimization. Pointed out by Andres Freund in 20131121200517.GM7240@alap2.anarazel.de
* Simplify multixact freezing a bitAlvaro Herrera2014-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | Testing for abortedness of a multixact member that's being frozen is unnecessary: we only need to know whether the transaction is still in progress or committed to determine whether it must be kept or not. This let us simplify the code a bit and avoid a useless TransactionIdDidAbort test. Suggested by Andres Freund awhile back.
* Oops, fix recoveryStopsBefore functions for regular commits.Heikki Linnakangas2014-07-29

* Treat 2PC commit/abort the same as regular xacts in recovery.Heikki Linnakangas2014-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were several oversights in recovery code where COMMIT/ABORT PREPARED records were ignored: * pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() (wasn't updated for 2PC commits) * recovery_min_apply_delay (2PC commits were applied immediately) * recovery_target_xid (recovery would not stop if the XID used 2PC) The first of those was reported by Sergiy Zuban in bug #11032, analyzed by Tom Lane and Andres Freund. The bug was always there, but was masked before commit d19bd29f07aef9e508ff047d128a4046cc8bc1e2, because COMMIT PREPARED always created an extra regular transaction that was WAL-logged. Backpatch to all supported versions (older versions didn't have all the features and therefore didn't have all of the above bugs).
* Fix obsolete statement in smgr/README.Tom Lane2014-07-28

* Handle WAIT_IO_COMPLETION return from WaitForMultipleObjectsEx().Noah Misch2014-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This return code is possible wherever we pass bAlertable = TRUE; it arises when Windows caused the current thread to run an "I/O completion routine" or an "asynchronous procedure call". PostgreSQL does not provoke either of those Windows facilities, hence this bug remaining largely unnoticed, but other local code might do so. Due to a shortage of complaints, no back-patch for now. Per report from Shiv Shivaraju Gowda, this bug can cause PGSemaphoreLock() to PANIC. The bug can also cause select() to report timeout expiration too early, which might confuse pgstat_init() and CheckRADIUSAuth().
* Prevent shm_mq_send from reading uninitialized memory.Robert Haas2014-07-24
| | | | | | | | | shm_mq_send_bytes didn't invariably initialize *bytes_written before returning, which would cause shm_mq_send to read from uninitialized memory and add the value it found there to mqh->mqh_partial_bytes. This could cause the next attempt to send a message via the queue to fail an assertion (if the queue was detached) or copy data from a garbage pointer value into the queue (if non-blocking mode was in use).
* Fix checkpointer crash in EXEC_BACKEND builds.Robert Haas2014-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nothing in the checkpointer calls InitXLOGAccess(), so WALInsertLocks never got initialized there. Without EXEC_BACKEND, it works anyway because the correct value is inherited from the postmaster, but with EXEC_BACKEND we've got a problem. The problem appears to have been introduced by commit 68a2e52bbaf98f136a96b3a0d734ca52ca440a95. To fix, move the relevant initialization steps from InitXLOGAccess() to XLOGShmemInit(), making this more parallel to what we do elsewhere. Amit Kapila
* Properly remove ephemeral replication slots after a crash restart.Andres Freund2014-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | Ephemeral slots - slots that shouldn't survive database restarts - weren't properly cleaned up after a immediate/crash restart. They were ignored in the sense that they weren't restored into memory and thus didn't cause unwanted resource retention; but they prevented a new slot with the same name from being created. Now ephemeral slots are fully removed during startup. Backpatch to 9.4 where replication slots where added.

* Re-enable error for "SELECT ... OFFSET -1".Tom Lane2014-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | The executor has thrown errors for negative OFFSET values since 8.4 (see commit bfce56eea45b1369b7bb2150a150d1ac109f5073), but in a moment of brain fade I taught the planner that OFFSET with a constant negative value was a no-op (commit 1a1832eb085e5bca198735e5d0e766a3cb61b8fc). Reinstate the former behavior by only discarding OFFSET with a value of exactly 0. In passing, adjust a planner comment that referenced the ancient behavior. Back-patch to 9.3 where the mistake was introduced.
* Check block number against the correct fork in get_raw_page().Tom Lane2014-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_raw_page tried to validate the supplied block number against RelationGetNumberOfBlocks(), which of course is only right when accessing the main fork. In most cases, the main fork is longer than the others, so that the check was too weak (allowing a lower-level error to be reported, but no real harm to be done). However, very small tables could have an FSM larger than their heap, in which case the mistake prevented access to some FSM pages. Per report from Torsten Foertsch. In passing, make the bad-block-number error into an ereport not elog (since it's certainly not an internal error); and fix sloppily maintained comment for RelationGetNumberOfBlocksInFork. This has been wrong since we invented relation forks, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Allow empty string object keys in json_object().Andrew Dunstan2014-07-22
| | | | | This makes the behaviour consistent with the json parser, other json-generating functions, and the JSON standards.
