* Fix connection string handling in src/bin/scripts/ programs.Tom Lane2020-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When told to process all databases, clusterdb, reindexdb, and vacuumdb would reconnect by replacing their --maintenance-db parameter with the name of the target database. If that parameter is a connstring (which has been allowed for a long time, though we failed to document that before this patch), we'd lose any other options it might specify, for example SSL or GSS parameters, possibly resulting in failure to connect. Thus, this is the same bug as commit a45bc8a4f fixed in pg_dump and pg_restore. We can fix it in the same way, by using libpq's rules for handling multiple "dbname" parameters to add the target database name separately. I chose to apply the same refactoring approach as in that patch, with a struct to handle the command line parameters that need to be passed through to connectDatabase. (Maybe someday we can unify the very similar functions here and in pg_dump/pg_restore.) Per Peter Eisentraut's comments on bug #16604. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Remove some code related to 7.3 and older servers from tools of src/bin/Michael Paquier2019-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | This code was broken as of 582edc3, and is most likely not used anymore. Note that pg_dump supports servers down to 8.0, and psql has code to support servers down to 7.4.

* Ensure schema qualification in pg_restore DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER commands.Tom Lane2018-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path. In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server- version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.) In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify its output regardless of server version. Per bug #15338 from Oleg somebody. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/153452458706.1316.5328079417086507743@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Empty search_path in Autovacuum and non-psql/pgbench clients.Noah Misch2018-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today, a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE privilege on schema "public". This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching server logs for these errors. The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still performs a checkpoint. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Tom Lane, though this fix strategy was not his first choice. Reported by Arseniy Sharoglazov. Security: CVE-2018-1058

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Simplify correct use of simple_prompt().Tom Lane2016-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string. That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free() the string later, which required extra logic in most cases. Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller. Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small, which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free. A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't requested the password yet". Maintaining the same behavior requires adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the complexity we save by removing free()s. Nonetheless, this nets out at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks everywhere they were needed. In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path. This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching, because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway. This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the other way.

* Improve handling of password reuse in src/bin/scripts programs.Tom Lane2015-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts most of commit 83dec5a71 in favor of having connectDatabase() store the possibly-reusable password in a static variable, similar to the coding we've had for a long time in pg_dump's version of that function. To avoid possible problems with unwanted password reuse, make callers specify whether it's reasonable to attempt to re-use the password. This is a wash for cases where re-use isn't needed, but it is far simpler for callers that do want that. Functionally there should be no difference. Even though we're past RC1, it seems like a good idea to back-patch this into 9.5, like the prior commit. Otherwise, if there are any third-party users of connectDatabase(), they'll have to deal with an API change in 9.5 and then another one in 9.6. Michael Paquier
* vacuumdb: don't prompt for passwords over and overAlvaro Herrera2015-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having the script prompt for passwords over and over was a preexisting problem when it processed multiple databases or when it processed multiple analyze stages, but the parallel mode introduced in commit a179232047 made it worse. Fix the annoyance by keeping a copy of the password used by the first connection that requires one. Since users can (currently) only have a single password, there's no need for more complex arrangements (such as remembering one password per database). Per bug #13741 reported by Eric Brown. Patch authored and cross-reviewed by Haribabu Kommi and Michael Paquier, slightly tweaked by Álvaro Herrera. Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20151027193919.931.54948@wrigleys.postgresql.org Backpatch to 9.5, where parallel vacuumdb was introduced.

* Move pqsignal() to libpgport.Tom Lane2013-03-17
| | | | | | | | | We had two copies of this function in the backend and libpq, which was already pretty bogus, but it turns out that we need it in some other programs that don't use libpq (such as pg_test_fsync). So put it where it probably should have been all along. The signal-mask-initialization support in src/backend/libpq/pqsignal.c stays where it is, though, since we only need that in the backend.
* Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to itAlvaro Herrera2013-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better to keep them separate. The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc and friends, which many frontend programs were already using. At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the previous one. This lets us clean up some places that were already with localized hacks. Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.

* Work around unportable behavior of malloc(0) and realloc(NULL, 0).Tom Lane2012-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from Matthew Carrington. Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases, even though some of these functions were in place before that.
* Standardize naming of malloc/realloc/strdup wrapper functions.Tom Lane2012-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0. This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant enough to bother back-patching.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If expand_dbname is non-zero and dbname contains an = sign, it is taken as a conninfo string in exactly the same way as if it had been passed to PQconnectdb. This is equivalent to the way PQsetdbLogin() works, allowing PQconnectdbParams() to be a complete alternative. Also improve the way the new function is called from psql and replace a previously missed call to PQsetdbLogin() in psql. Additionally use PQconnectdbParams() for pg_dump and friends, and the bin/scripts command line utilities such as vacuumdb, createdb, etc. Finally, update the documentation for the new parameter, as well as the nuances of precedence in cases where key words are repeated or duplicated in the conninfo string.
