* Eagerly scan all-visible pages to amortize aggressive vacuumMelanie Plageman2025-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Aggressive vacuums must scan every unfrozen tuple in order to advance the relfrozenxid/relminmxid. Because data is often vacuumed before it is old enough to require freezing, relations may build up a large backlog of pages that are set all-visible but not all-frozen in the visibility map. When an aggressive vacuum is triggered, all of these pages must be scanned. These pages have often been evicted from shared buffers and even from the kernel buffer cache. Thus, aggressive vacuums often incur large amounts of extra I/O at the expense of foreground workloads. To amortize the cost of aggressive vacuums, eagerly scan some all-visible but not all-frozen pages during normal vacuums. All-visible pages that are eagerly scanned and set all-frozen in the visibility map are counted as successful eager freezes and those not frozen are counted as failed eager freezes. If too many eager scans fail in a row, eager scanning is temporarily suspended until a later portion of the relation. The number of failures tolerated is configurable globally and per table. To effectively amortize aggressive vacuums, we cap the number of successes as well. Capping eager freeze successes also limits the amount of potentially wasted work if these pages are modified again before the next aggressive vacuum. Once we reach the maximum number of blocks successfully eager frozen, eager scanning is disabled for the remainder of the vacuum of the relation.

* Virtual generated columnsPeter Eisentraut2025-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new variant of generated columns that are computed on read (like a view, unlike the existing stored generated columns, which are computed on write, like a materialized view). The syntax for the column definition is ... GENERATED ALWAYS AS (...) VIRTUAL and VIRTUAL is also optional. VIRTUAL is the default rather than STORED to match various other SQL products. (The SQL standard makes no specification about this, but it also doesn't know about VIRTUAL or STORED.) (Also, virtual views are the default, rather than materialized views.) Virtual generated columns are stored in tuples as null values. (A very early version of this patch had the ambition to not store them at all. But so much stuff breaks or gets confused if you have tuples where a column in the middle is completely missing. This is a compromise, and it still saves space over being forced to use stored generated columns. If we ever find a way to improve this, a bit of pg_upgrade cleverness could allow for upgrades to a newer scheme.) The capabilities and restrictions of virtual generated columns are mostly the same as for stored generated columns. In some cases, this patch keeps virtual generated columns more restricted than they might technically need to be, to keep the two kinds consistent. Some of that could maybe be relaxed later after separate careful considerations. Some functionality that is currently not supported, but could possibly be added as incremental features, some easier than others: - index on or using a virtual column - hence also no unique constraints on virtual columns - extended statistics on virtual columns - foreign-key constraints on virtual columns - not-null constraints on virtual columns (check constraints are supported) - ALTER TABLE / DROP EXPRESSION - virtual column cannot have domain type - virtual columns are not supported in logical replication The tests in generated_virtual.sql have been copied over from generated_stored.sql with the keyword replaced. This way we can make sure the behavior is mostly aligned, and the differences can be visible. Some tests for currently not supported features are currently commented out.

* Introduce autovacuum_vacuum_max_threshold.Nathan Bossart2025-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One way autovacuum chooses tables to vacuum is by comparing the number of updated or deleted tuples with a value calculated using autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor. The threshold specifies the base value for comparison, and the scale factor specifies the fraction of the table size to add to it. This strategy ensures that smaller tables are vacuumed after fewer updates/deletes than larger tables, which is reasonable in many cases but can result in infrequent vacuums on very large tables. This is undesirable for a couple of reasons, such as very large tables incurring a huge amount of bloat between vacuums. This new parameter provides a way to set a limit on the value calculated with autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor so that very large tables are vacuumed more frequently. By default, it is set to 100,000,000 tuples, but it can be disabled by setting it to -1. It can also be adjusted for individual tables by changing storage parameters.

* Show more-intuitive titles for psql commands \dt, \di, etc.Tom Lane2025-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If exactly one relation type is requested in a command of the \dtisv family, say "tables", "indexes", etc instead of "relations". This should cover the majority of actual uses, without creating a huge number of new translatable strings. The error messages for no matching relations are adjusted as well. In passing, invent "pg_log_error_internal()" to be used for frontend error messages that don't seem to need translation, analogously to errmsg_internal() in the backend. The implementation is a bit cheesy, being just a macro to prevent xgettext from recognizing a trigger keyword. This won't avoid a useless gettext lookup cycle at runtime --- but surely we don't care about an extra microsecond or two in what's supposed to be a can't-happen case. I (tgl) also made "pg_fatal_internal()", though it's not used in this patch.

* Avoid breaking SJIS encoding while de-backslashing Windows paths.Tom Lane2025-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When running on Windows, canonicalize_path() converts '\' to '/' to prevent confusing the Windows command processor. It was doing that in a non-encoding-aware fashion; but in SJIS there are valid two-byte characters whose second byte matches '\'. So encoding corruption ensues if such a character is used in the path. We can fairly easily fix this if we know which encoding is in use, but a lot of our utilities don't have much of a clue about that. After some discussion we decided we'd settle for fixing this only in psql, and assuming that its value of client_encoding matches what the user is typing. It seems hopeless to get the server to deal with the problematic characters in database path names, so we'll just declare that case to be unsupported. That means nothing need be done in the server, nor in utility programs whose only contact with file path names is for database paths. But psql frequently deals with client-side file paths, so it'd be good if it didn't mess those up.

* Improve grammar of options for command arrays in TAP testsMichael Paquier2025-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit rewrites a good chunk of the command arrays in TAP tests with a grammar based on the following rules: - Fat commas are used between option names and their values, making it clear to both humans and perltidy that values and names are bound together. This is particularly useful for the readability of multi-line command arrays, and there are plenty of them in the TAP tests. Most of the test code is updated to use this style. Some commands used parenthesis to show the link, or attached values and options in a single string. These are updated to use fat commas instead. - Option names are switched to use their long names, making them more self-documented. Based on a suggestion by Andrew Dunstan. - Add some trailing commas after the last item in multi-line arrays, which is a common perl style. Not all the places are taken care of, but this covers a very good chunk of them.

The following changes are done: - pg_subscription.h gains a EXPOSE_TO_CLIENT_CODE, so as more content defined in pg_subscription.h becomes available in pg_subscription_d.h for the frontend. - In psql's describe.c, substream can be switched to use CppAsString2() with its three LOGICALREP_STREAM_* values, with pg_subscription_d.h included. - pg_dump.c included pg_subscription.h, which is a header that should only be used in the backend code. The code is updated to use pg_subscription_d.h instead. - pg_dump stored all the data from pg_subscription in SubscriptionInfo with only strings, and a good chunk of them are boolean and char values.

* Add pg_constraint rows for not-null constraintsÁlvaro Herrera2024-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints on user tables. Only one such constraint is allowed for a column. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter or remove it, instead matching by the name of the column that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. The inheritance status of these constraints can be controlled: now we can be sure that if a parent table has one, then all children will have it as well. They can optionally be marked NO INHERIT, and then children are free not to have one. (There's currently no support for altering a NO INHERIT constraint into inheriting down the hierarchy, but that's a desirable future feature.) This also opens the door for having these constraints be marked NOT VALID, as well as allowing UNIQUE+NOT NULL to be used for functional dependency determination, as envisioned by commit e49ae8d3bc58. It's likely possible to allow DEFERRABLE constraints as followup work, as well. psql shows these constraints in \d+, though we may want to reconsider if this turns out to be too noisy. Earlier versions of this patch hid constraints that were on the same columns of the primary key, but I'm not sure that that's very useful. If clutter is a problem, we might be better off inventing a new \d++ command and not showing the constraints in \d+. For now, we omit these constraints on system catalog columns, because they're unlikely to achieve anything. The main difference to the previous attempt at this (b0e96f311985) is that we now require that such a constraint always exists when a primary key is in the column; we didn't require this previously which had a number of unpalatable consequences. With this requirement, the code is easier to reason about. For example: - We no longer have "throwaway constraints" during pg_dump. We needed those for the case where a table had a PK without a not-null underneath, to prevent a slow scan of the data during restore of the PK creation, which was particularly problematic for pg_upgrade. - We no longer have to cope with attnotnull being set spuriously in case a primary key is dropped indirectly (e.g., via DROP COLUMN).

* Replicate generated columns when 'publish_generated_columns' is set.Amit Kapila2024-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch builds on the work done in commit 745217a051 by enabling the replication of generated columns alongside regular column changes through a new publication parameter: publish_generated_columns. Example usage: CREATE PUBLICATION pub1 FOR TABLE tab_gencol WITH (publish_generated_columns = true); The column list takes precedence. If the generated columns are specified in the column list, they will be replicated even if 'publish_generated_columns' is set to false. Conversely, if generated columns are not included in the column list (assuming the user specifies a column list), they will not be replicated even if 'publish_generated_columns' is true.

* Remove unused code for unlogged materialized views.Fujii Masao2024-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3bf3ab8c56 initially introduced support for unlogged materialized views, but this was later disallowed by commit 3223b25ff7. Additionally, commit d25f519107 added more code for handling unlogged materialized views. This commit cleans up all unused code related to them. If unlogged materialized views had been supported in any official release, psql would need to retain code to handle them for compatibility with older servers. However, since they were never included in an official release, this code is no longer necessary.

* psql: Fix \watch when using interval values less than 1msMichael Paquier2024-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to use an interval of time less than 1ms would cause \watch to hang. This was confusing, so let's change the logic so as an interval lower than 1ms behaves the same as 0. Comments are added to mention that the internals of do_watch() had better rely on "sleep_ms", the interval value in milliseconds. While on it, this commit adds a test to check the behavior of interval values less than 1ms. \watch hanging for interval values less than 1ms existed before 6f9ee74d45aa, that has changed the code to support an interval value of 0.

* Avoid possible segfault in psql's tab completion.Tom Lane2024-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fix oversight in bd1276a3c: the "words_after_create" stanza in psql_completion() requires previous_words_count > 0, since it uses prev_wd.

* Convert tab-complete's long else-if chain to a switch statement.Tom Lane2024-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename tab-complete.c to tab-complete.in.c, create the preprocessor script gen_tabcomplete.pl, and install Makefile/meson.build rules to create tab-complete.c from tab-complete.in.c. The preprocessor converts match_previous_words' else-if chain into a switch and populates tcpatterns[] with the data needed by the driver loop. The initial HeadMatches/TailMatches/Matches test in each else-if arm is now performed in a table-driven loop. Where we get a match, the corresponding switch case is invoked to see if the match succeeds. (It might not, if there were additional conditions in the original else-if test.) The total number of string comparisons done is just about the same as it was in the previous coding; however, now that we have table-driven logic underlying the handmade rules, there is room to improve that. For now I haven't bothered because tab completion is still plenty fast enough for human use. If the number of rules keeps increasing, we might someday need to do more in that area. The immediate benefit of all this thrashing is that C compilers frequently don't deal well with long else-if chains. On gcc 8.5.0, this reduces the compile time of tab-complete.c by about a factor of four, while MSVC is reported to crash outright with the previous coding.

* Prepare tab-complete.c for preprocessing.Tom Lane2024-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate out psql_completion's giant else-if chain of *Matches tests into a new function. Add the infrastructure needed for table-driven checking of the initial match of each completion rule. As-is, however, the code continues to operate as it did. The new behavior applies only if SWITCH_CONVERSION_APPLIED is #defined, which it is not here. (The preprocessor added in the next patch will add a #define for that.) The first and last couple of bits of psql_completion are not based on HeadMatches/TailMatches/Matches tests, so they stay where they are; they won't become part of the switch. This patch also fixes up a couple of if-conditions that didn't meet the conditions enumerated in the comment for match_previous_words(). Those restrictions exist to simplify the preprocessor.

* Invent "MatchAnyN" option for tab-complete.c's Matches/MatchesCS.Tom Lane2024-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This argument matches any number (including zero) of previous words. Use it to replace the common coding pattern if (HeadMatches("A", "B") && TailMatches("X", "Y")) with if (Matches("A", "B", MatchAnyN, "X", "Y")) In itself this feature doesn't do much except (arguably) make the code slightly shorter and more readable. However, it reduces the number of complex if-condition patterns that have to be dealt with in the next commits in this series. While here, restructure the *Matches implementation functions so that the actual work is done in functions that take a char ** array of pattern strings, and the versions taking variadic arguments are thin wrappers around the array ones. This simplifies the new Matches logic considerably. At the end of this patch series, the array functions will be the only ones that are material to performance, so having the variadic ones be wrappers makes sense.

* Add log_verbosity = 'silent' support to COPY command.Fujii Masao2024-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when the on_error option was set to ignore, the COPY command would always log NOTICE messages for input rows discarded due to data type incompatibility. Users had no way to suppress these messages. This commit introduces a new log_verbosity setting, 'silent', which prevents the COPY command from emitting NOTICE messages when on_error = 'ignore' is used, even if rows are discarded. This feature is particularly useful when processing malformed files frequently, where a flood of NOTICE messages can be undesirable. For example, when frequently loading malformed files via the COPY command or querying foreign tables using file_fdw (with an upcoming patch to add on_error support for file_fdw), users may prefer to suppress these messages to reduce log noise and improve clarity.

* Do not treat \. as an EOF marker in CSV mode for COPY IN.Tom Lane2024-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since backslash is (typically) not special in CSV data, we should not be treating \. as special either. The server historically did this to keep CSV and TEXT modes more alike and to support V2 protocol; but V2 protocol is long dead, and the inconsistency with CSV standards is annoying. Remove that behavior in CopyReadLineText, and make some minor consequent code simplifications. On the client side, we need to fix psql so that it does not check for \. except when reading data from STDIN (that is, the script source). We must do that regardless of TEXT/CSV mode or there is no way to end the COPY short of script EOF. Also, be careful not to send the \. to the server in that case. This is a small compatibility break in that other applications beside psql may need similar adjustment. Also, using an older version of psql with a v18 server may result in misbehavior during CSV-mode COPY IN.

* psql: Clean up more aggressively state of \bind[_named], \parse and \closeMichael Paquier2024-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a couple of issues with the psql meta-commands mentioned above when called repeatedly: - The statement name is reset for each call. If a command errors out, its send_mode would still be set, causing an incorrect path to be taken when processing a query. For \bind_named, this could trigger an assertion failure as a statement name is always expected for this meta-command. This issue has been introduced by d55322b0da60. - The memory allocated for bind parameters can be leaked. This is a bug enlarged by d55322b0da60 that exists since 5b66de3433e2, as it is also possible to leak memory with \bind in v16 and v17. This requires a fix that will be done on the affected branches separately. This issue is taken care of here for HEAD. This patch tightens the cleanup of the state used for the extended protocol meta-commands (bind parameters, send mode, statement name) by doing it before running each meta-command on top of doing it once a query has been processed, avoiding any leaks and the inconsistencies when mixing calls, by refactoring the cleanup in a single routine used in all the code paths where this step is required.

* Add temporal PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraintsPeter Eisentraut2024-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints. These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of the key and && for the temporal part. (previously committed as 46a0cd4cefb, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new part is this:) Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal expectations. For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value from any of their rows. So we need to forbid empties. This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above). Documentation and tests for this are added. But this could conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for the notion of "empty" for other types. Author: Paul A.
