* Check return value of pclose() correctlyPeter Eisentraut2022-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some callers didn't check the return value of pclose() or ClosePipeStream() correctly. Either they didn't check it at all or they treated it like the return of fclose(). The correct way is to first check whether the return value is -1, and then report errno, and then check the return value like a result from system(), for which we already have wait_result_to_str() to make it simpler. To make this more compact, expand wait_result_to_str() to also handle -1 explicitly.

* psql: Add command to use extended query protocolPeter Eisentraut2022-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new psql command \bind that sets query parameters and causes the next query to be sent using the extended query protocol. Example: SELECT $1, $2 \bind 'foo' 'bar' \g This may be useful for psql scripting, but one of the main purposes is also to be able to test various aspects of the extended query protocol from psql and to write tests more easily.

* Fix an assortment of improper usages of string functionsDavid Rowley2022-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a similar effort to f736e188c and 110d81728, fixup various usages of string functions where a more appropriate function is available and more fit for purpose. These changes include: 1. Use cstring_to_text_with_len() instead of cstring_to_text() when working with a StringInfoData and the length can easily be obtained. 2. Use appendStringInfoString() instead of appendStringInfo() when no formatting is required. 3. Use pstrdup(...) instead of psprintf("%s", ...) 4. Use pstrdup(...) instead of psprintf(...) (with no formatting) 5. Use appendPQExpBufferChar() instead of appendPQExpBufferStr() when the length of the string being appended is 1. 6. appendStringInfoChar() instead of appendStringInfo() when no formatting is required and string is 1 char long. 7. Use appendPQExpBufferStr(b, .) instead of appendPQExpBuffer(b, "%s", .) 8. Don't use pstrdup when it's fine to just point to the string constant. I (David) did find other cases of #8 but opted to use #4 instead as I wasn't certain enough that applying #8 was ok (e.g in hba.c) Author: Ranier Vilela, David Rowley Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAApHDvo2j2+RJBGhNtUz6BxabWWh2Jx16wMUMWKUjv70Ver1vg@mail.gmail.com
* Clean up inconsistent use of fflush().Tom Lane2022-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | More than twenty years ago (79fcde48b), we hacked the postmaster to avoid a core-dump on systems that didn't support fflush(NULL). We've mostly, though not completely, hewed to that rule ever since. But such systems are surely gone in the wild, so in the spirit of cleaning out no-longer-needed portability hacks let's get rid of multiple per-file fflush() calls in favor of using fflush(NULL). Also, we were fairly inconsistent about whether to fflush() before popen() and system() calls. While we've received no bug reports about that, it seems likely that at least some of these call sites are at risk of odd behavior, such as error messages appearing in an unexpected order. Rather than expend a lot of brain cells figuring out which places are at hazard, let's just establish a uniform coding rule that we should fflush(NULL) before these calls. A no-op fflush() is surely of trivial cost compared to launching a sub-process via a shell; while if it's not a no-op then we likely need it.

* Add xheader_width pset option to psqlAndrew Dunstan2022-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The setting controls tha maximum length of the header line in expanded format output. Possible settings are full, column, page, or an integer. the default is full, the current behaviour, and in this case the header line is the length of the widest line of output. column causes the header to be truncated to the width of the first column, page causes it to be truncated to the width of the terminal page, and an integer causes it to be truncated to that value. If the full value is less than the page or integer value no truncation occurs. If given without an argument this option prints its current setting. Platon Pronko, somewhat modified by me.

* Improve frontend error logging style.Tom Lane2022-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the separate "FATAL" log level, as it was applied so inconsistently as to be meaningless. This mostly involves s/pg_log_fatal/pg_log_error/g. Create a macro pg_fatal() to handle the common use-case of pg_log_error() immediately followed by exit(1). Various modules had already invented either this or equivalent macros; standardize on pg_fatal() and apply it where possible. Invent the ability to add "detail" and "hint" messages to a frontend message, much as we have long had in the backend. Except where rewording was needed to convert existing coding to detail/hint style, I have (mostly) resisted the temptation to change existing message wording. Patch by me.

* psql: add \dconfig command to show server's configuration parameters.Tom Lane2022-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Plain \dconfig is basically equivalent to SHOW except that you can give it a pattern with wildcards, either to match multiple GUCs or because you don't exactly remember the name you want. \dconfig+ adds type, context, and access-privilege information, mainly because every other kind of object privilege has a psql command to show it, so GUC privileges should too. (A form of this command was in some versions of the patch series leading up to commit a0ffa885e. We pulled it out then because of doubts that the design and code were up to snuff, but I think subsequent work has resolved that.) In passing, fix incorrect completion of GUC names in GRANT/REVOKE ON PARAMETER: a0ffa885e neglected to use the VERBATIM form of COMPLETE_WITH_QUERY, so it misbehaved for custom (qualified) GUC names.

* Prefer $HOME when looking up the current user's home directory.Tom Lane2022-01-09

If that's empty or unset, fall back on our previous method of checking the <pwd.h> database.

* Provide a variant of simple_prompt() that can be interrupted by ^C.Tom Lane2021-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, you couldn't escape out of psql's \password command by typing control-C (or other local spelling of SIGINT). This is pretty user-unfriendly, so improve it. To do so, we have to modify the functions provided by pg_get_line.c; but we don't want to mess with psql's SIGINT handler setup, so provide an API that lets that handler cause the cancel to occur. This relies on the assumption that we won't do any major harm by longjmp'ing out of fgets(). While that's obviously a little shaky, we've long had the same assumption in the main input loop, and few issues have been reported. psql has some other simple_prompt() calls that could usefully be improved the same way; for now, just deal with \password.

* Make psql's \password default to CURRENT_USER, not PQuser(conn).Tom Lane2021-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation says plainly that \password acts on "the current user" by default. What it actually acted on, or tried to, was the username used to log into the current session. This is not the same thing if one has since done SET ROLE or SET SESSION AUTHENTICATION. Aside from the possible surprise factor, it's quite likely that the current role doesn't have permissions to set the password of the original role. To fix, use "SELECT CURRENT_USER" to get the role name to act on. (This syntax works with servers at least back to 7.0.) Also, in hopes of reducing confusion, include the role name that will be acted on in the password prompt. The discrepancy from the documentation makes this a bug, so back-patch to all supported branches. Patch by me; thanks to Nathan Bossart for review.

The popular open source tool "pspg" (also by Pavel) knows how to display the output if you set PSQL_WATCH_PAGER="pspg --stream". To make \watch react quickly when the user quits the pager or presses ^C, and also to increase the accuracy of its timing and decrease the rate of useless context switches, change the main loop of the \watch command to use sigwait() rather than a sleeping/polling loop, on Unix.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When dealing with overloaded function or operator names, having to look through a long list of matches is tedious. Let's extend these commands to allow specification of (input) argument types to let such results be trimmed down. Each additional argument is treated the same as the pattern argument of \dT and matched against the appropriate argument's type name. While at it, fix \dT (and these new options) to recognize the usual notation of "foo[]" for "the array type over foo", and to handle the special abbreviations allowed by the backend grammar, such as "int" for "integer".

* Improve psql's behavior when the editor is exited without saving.Tom Lane2021-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When editing the previous query buffer, if the editor is exited without modifying the temp file then clear the query buffer, rather than re-loading (and probably re-executing) the previous query buffer. This reduces the probability of accidentally re-executing something you didn't intend to. Similarly, in "\e file", if the file isn't actually modified then don't load it into the query buffer. And in "\ef" and "\ev", if no changes are made then clear the query buffer instead of loading the function or view definition into it. Cases where we fail to invoke the editor at all, or it returns a nonzero status, are treated like the no-file-modification case.

* Fix psql's \connect command some more.Tom Lane2021-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit 85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the expected results. The reason is that starting from the output of PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the normal priority is the other way around. Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix it that way. But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the default values for just a couple more lines of code. This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on service=whatever". That remains significantly different from before 85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus not be possible for service entries to replace. But I think this is (mostly?) intentional. In any case, since libpq does not report where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently. Per bug #16936 from Jasen Betts. As with the previous patches, back-patch to all supported branches. (9.5 is unfortunately now out of support, so this won't get fixed there.)

* Fix race condition in psql \e's detection of file modification.Tom Lane2021-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | psql's editing commands decide whether the user has edited the file by checking for change of modification timestamp. This is probably fine for a pre-existing file, but with a temporary file that is created within the command, it's possible for a fast typist to save-and-exit in less than the one-second granularity of stat(2) timestamps. On Windows FAT filesystems the granularity is even worse, 2 seconds, making the race a bit easier to hit. To fix, try to set the temp file's mod time to be two seconds ago. It's unlikely this would fail, but then again the race condition itself is unlikely, so just ignore any error. Also, we might as well check the file size as well as its mod time. While this is a difficult bug to hit, it still seems worth back-patching, to ensure that users' edits aren't lost.

Additionally, SSL compression has been disabled in OpenSSL since version 1.1.0, and was disabled in many distributions long before that. The most recent TLS version, TLSv1.3, disallows compression at the protocol level. This commit removes the feature itself, removing support for the libpq parameter sslcompression (parameter still listed for compatibility reasons with existing connection strings, just ignored), and removes the equivalent field in pg_stat_ssl and de facto PgBackendSSLStatus. Note that, on top of removing the ability to activate compression by configuration, compression is actively disabled in both frontend and backend to avoid overrides from local configurations.

* Use setenv() in preference to putenv().Tom Lane2020-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However, POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed: setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy. This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv() with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv() wannabees. Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought to match real-world practice. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2065122.1609212051@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix recently-introduced breakage in psql's \connect command.Tom Lane2020-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Through my misreading of what the existing code actually did, commits 85c54287a et al. broke psql's behavior for the case where "\c connstring" provides a password in the connstring. We should use that password in such a case, but as of 85c54287a we ignored it (and instead, prompted for a password). Commit 94929f1cf fixed that in HEAD, but since I thought it was cleaning up a longstanding misbehavior and not one I'd just created, I didn't back-patch it. Hence, back-patch the portions of 94929f1cf having to do with password management. In addition to fixing the introduced bug, this means that "\c -reuse-previous=on connstring" will allow re-use of an existing connection's password if the connstring doesn't change user/host/port. That didn't happen before, but it seems like a bug fix, and anyway I'm loath to have significant differences in this code across versions. Also fix an error with the same root cause about whether or not to override a connstring's setting of client_encoding. As of 85c54287a we always did so; restore the previous behavior of overriding only when stdin/stdout are a terminal and there's no environment setting of PGCLIENTENCODING. (I find that definition a bit surprising, but right now doesn't seem like the time to revisit it.) Per bug #16746 from Krzysztof Gradek.

* Allow psql to re-use connection parameters after a connection loss.Tom Lane2020-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of immediately PQfinish'ing a dead connection, save it aside so that we can still extract its parameters for \connect attempts. (This works because PQconninfo doesn't care whether the PGconn is in CONNECTION_BAD state.) This allows developers to reconnect with just \c after a database crash and restart. It's tempting to use the same approach instead of closing the old connection after a failed non-interactive \connect command. However, that would not be very safe: consider a script containing \c db1 user1 live_server \c db2 user2 dead_server \c db3 The script would be expecting to connect to db3 at dead_server, but if we re-use parameters from the first connection then it might successfully connect to db3 at live_server. This'd defeat the goal of not letting a script accidentally execute commands against the wrong database. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/38464.1603394584@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Clean up some unpleasant behaviors in psql's \connect command.Tom Lane2020-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The check for whether to complain about not having an old connection to get parameters from was seriously out of date: it had not been rethought when we invented connstrings, nor when we invented the -reuse-previous option. Replace it with a check that throws an error if reuse-previous is active and we lack an old connection to reuse. While that doesn't move the goalposts very far in terms of easing reconnection after a server crash, at least it's consistent. If the user specifies a connstring plus additional parameters (which is invalid per the documentation), the extra parameters were silently ignored. That seems like it could be really confusing, so let's throw a syntax error instead. Teach the connstring code path to re-use the old connection's password in the same cases as the old-style-syntax code path would, ie if we are reusing parameters and the values of username, host/hostaddr, and port are not being changed. Document this behavior, too, since it was unmentioned before. Also simplify the implementation a bit, giving rise to two new and useful properties: if there's a "password=xxx" in the connstring, we'll use it not ignore it, and by default (i.e., except with --no-password) we will prompt for a password if the re-used password or connstring password doesn't work. The previous code just failed if the re-used password didn't work. Given the paucity of field complaints about these issues, I don't think that they rise to the level of back-patchable bug fixes, and in any case they might represent undesirable behavior changes in minor releases. So no back-patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/235210.1603321144@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix connection string handling in psql's \connect command.Tom Lane2020-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | psql's \connect claims to be able to re-use previous connection parameters, but in fact it only re-uses the database name, user name, host name (and possibly hostaddr, depending on version), and port. This is problematic for assorted use cases. Notably, pg_dump[all] emits "\connect databasename" commands which we would like to have re-use all other parameters. If such a script is loaded in a psql run that initially had "-d connstring" with some non-default parameters, those other parameters would be lost, potentially causing connection failure. (Thus, this is the same kind of bug addressed in commits a45bc8a4f and 8e5793ab6, although the details are much different.) To fix, redesign do_connect() so that it pulls out all properties of the old PGconn using PQconninfo(), and then replaces individual properties in that array. In the case where we don't wish to re-use anything, get libpq's default settings using PQconndefaults() and replace entries in that, so that we don't need different code paths for the two cases. This does result in an additional behavioral change for cases where the original connection parameters allowed multiple hosts, say "psql -h host1,host2", and the \connect request allows re-use of the host setting. Because the previous coding relied on PQhost(), it would only permit reconnection to the same host originally selected. Although one can think of scenarios where that's a good thing, there are others where it is not. Moreover, that behavior doesn't seem to meet the principle of least surprise, nor was it documented; nor is it even clear it was intended, since that coding long pre-dates the addition of multi-host support to libpq. Hence, this patch is content to drop it and re-use the host list as given. Per Peter Eisentraut's comments on bug #16604. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Remove arbitrary restrictions on password length.Tom Lane2020-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged: let's just get rid of those fixed limits. recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size, which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway. It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.) Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep(). The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere, but I'll leave that for another patch.) I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor fit for src/port/ anyway. This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/09512C4F-8CB9-4021-B455-EF4C4F0D55A0@amazon.com

* Allow psql's \g and \gx commands to transiently change \pset options.Tom Lane2020-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We invented \gx to allow the "\pset expanded" flag to be forced on for the duration of one command output, but that turns out to not be nearly enough to satisfy the demand for variant output formats. Hence, make it possible to change any pset option(s) for the duration of a single command output, by writing "option=value ..." inside parentheses, for example \g (format=csv csv_fieldsep='\t') somefile \gx can now be understood as a shorthand for including expanded=on inside the parentheses.

* Fix crash in psql when attempting to reuse old connectionMichael Paquier2020-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a psql session, if the connection to the server is abruptly cut, the referenced connection would become NULL as of CheckConnection(). This could cause a hard crash with psql if attempting to connect by reusing the past connection's data because of a null-pointer dereference with either PQhost() or PQdb(). This issue is fixed by making sure that no reuse of the past connection is done if it does not exist. Issue has been introduced by 6e5f8d4, so backpatch down to 12.
