* Clean up assorted failures under clang's -fsanitize=undefined checks.Tom Lane2022-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of these are cases where we could call memcpy() or other libc functions with a NULL pointer and a zero count, which is forbidden by POSIX even though every production version of libc allows it. We've fixed such things before in a piecemeal way, but apparently never made an effort to try to get them all. I don't claim that this patch does so either, but it gets every failure I observe in check-world, using clang 12.0.1 on current RHEL8. numeric.c has a different issue that the sanitizer doesn't like: "ln(-1.0)" will compute log10(0) and then try to assign the resulting -Inf to an integer variable. We don't actually use the result in such a case, so there's no live bug. Back-patch to all supported branches, with the idea that we might start running a buildfarm member that tests this case. This includes back-patching c1132aae3 (Check the size in COPY_POINTER_FIELD), which previously silenced some of these issues in copyfuncs.c.

* Fix incautious handling of possibly-miscoded strings in client code.Tom Lane2021-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string could cause various processing loops to run past the string's terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following memory. This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of its input. Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command. (If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313. To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string. In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is. It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though, so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling this issue.) Per private report from houjingyi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix parallel restore of FKs to partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera2019-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an FK constraint is created, it needs the index on the referenced table to exist and be valid. When doing parallel pg_restore and the referenced table was partitioned, this condition can sometimes not be met, because pg_dump didn't emit sufficient object dependencies to ensure so; this means that parallel pg_restore would fail in certain conditions. Fix by having pg_dump make the FK constraint object dependent on the partition attachment objects for the constraint's referenced index. This has been broken since f56f8f8da6af, so backpatch to Postgres 12. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20191005224333.GA9738@alvherre.pgsql

* Move logging.h and logging.c from src/fe_utils/ to src/common/.Tom Lane2019-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered, because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies. That makes it pointless to have distinct libraries at all. The intended design is that libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from the latter to the former are acceptable. We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/. To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design. (logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can dream.) Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system changes made by commit cc8d41511. There are no places that need to grow new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this is the right solution.

* Ensure consistent name matching behavior in processSQLNamePattern().Tom Lane2019-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to v12, if you used a collation-sensitive regex feature in a pattern handled by processSQLNamePattern() (for instance, \d '\\w+' in psql), the behavior you got matched the database's default collation. Since commit 586b98fdf you'd usually get C-collation behavior, because the catalog "name"-type columns are now marked as COLLATE "C". Add explicit COLLATE specifications to restore the prior behavior. (Note for whoever writes the v12 release notes: the need for this shows that while 586b98fdf preserved pre-v12 behavior of "name" columns for simple comparison operators, it changed the behavior of regex operators on those columns. Although this patch fixes it for pattern matches generated by our own tools, user-written queries will still be affected. So we'd better mention this issue as a compatibility item.)

* Unified logging system for command-line programsPeter Eisentraut2019-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs. Features: - Program name is automatically prefixed. - Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common source of inconsistencies and omissions. - Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes. - I converted error message strings to use %m where possible. - As a result of the above several points, more translatable message strings can be shared between different components and between frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace differences. - There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or verbose modes. - Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at some level is disabled. - Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be customized by setting PG_COLORS. - Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to pass "progname" around everywhere. - Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This is now done centrally. Soft goals: - Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting in the source code. - Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example, in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code whether a message was meant as an error or just an info. - Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging frameworks such as log4j and Python logging. This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that. Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit, and I adapted those. I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now changed to stderr.

* pgbench: Remove \csetAlvaro Herrera2019-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Partial revert of commit 6260cc550b0e, "pgbench: add \cset and \gset commands". While \gset is widely considered a useful and necessary tool for user- defined benchmarks, \cset does not have as much value, and its implementation was considered "not to be up to project standards" (though I, Álvaro, can't quite understand exactly how).

* pgbench: add \cset and \gset commandsAlvaro Herrera2019-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These commands allow assignment of values produced by queries to pgbench variables, where they can be used by further commands. \gset terminates a command sequence (just like a bare semicolon); \cset separates multiple queries in a compound command, like an escaped semicolon (\;). A prefix can be provided to the \-command and is prepended to the name of each output column to produce the final variable name. This feature allows pgbench scripts to react meaningfully to the actual database contents, allowing more powerful benchmarks to be written.

* Replace the data structure used for keyword lookup.Tom Lane2019-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, ScanKeywordLookup was passed an array of string pointers. This had some performance deficiencies: the strings themselves might be scattered all over the place depending on the compiler (and some quick checking shows that at least with gcc-on-Linux, they indeed weren't reliably close together). That led to very cache-unfriendly behavior as the binary search touched strings in many different pages. Also, depending on the platform, the string pointers might need to be adjusted at program start, so that they couldn't be simple constant data. And the ScanKeyword struct had been designed with an eye to 32-bit machines originally; on 64-bit it requires 16 bytes per keyword, making it even more cache-unfriendly. Redesign so that the keyword strings themselves are allocated consecutively (as part of one big char-string constant), thereby eliminating the touch-lots-of-unrelated-pages syndrome. And get rid of the ScanKeyword array in favor of three separate arrays: uint16 offsets into the keyword array, uint16 token codes, and uint8 keyword categories. That reduces the overhead per keyword to 5 bytes instead of 16 (even less in programs that only need one of the token codes and categories); moreover, the binary search only touches the offsets array, further reducing its cache footprint. This also lets us put the token codes somewhere else than the keyword strings are, which avoids some unpleasant build dependencies. While we're at it, wrap the data used by ScanKeywordLookup into a struct that can be treated as an opaque type by most callers. That doesn't change things much right now, but it will make it less painful to switch to a hash-based lookup method, as is being discussed in the mailing list thread. Most of the change here is associated with adding a generator script that can build the new data structure from the same list-of-PG_KEYWORD header representation we used before. The PG_KEYWORD lists that plpgsql and ecpg used to embed in their scanner .c files have to be moved into headers, and the Makefiles have to be taught to invoke the generator script. This work is also necessary if we're to consider hash-based lookup, since the generator script is what would be responsible for constructing a hash table. Aside from saving a few kilobytes in each program that includes the keyword table, this seems to speed up raw parsing (flex+bison) by a few percent. So it's worth doing even as it stands, though we think we can gain even more with a follow-on patch to switch to hash-based lookup.

* Fix translation of special characters in psql's LaTeX output modes.Tom Lane2018-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | latex_escaped_print() mistranslated \ and failed to provide any translation for # ^ and ~, all of which would typically lead to LaTeX document syntax errors. In addition it didn't translate < > and |, which would typically render as unexpected characters. To some extent this represents shortcomings in ancient versions of LaTeX, which if memory serves had no easy way to render these control characters as ASCII text. But that's been fixed for, um, decades. In any case there is no value in emitting guaranteed-to-fail output for these characters. Noted while fooling with test cases added by commit 9a98984f4. Back-patch the code change to all supported versions.
* Add CSV table output mode in psql.Tom Lane2018-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "\pset format csv", or --csv, selects comma-separated values table format. This is compliant with RFC 4180, except that we aren't too picky about whether the record separator is LF or CRLF; also, the user may choose a field separator other than comma. This output format is directly compatible with the server's COPY CSV format, and will also be useful as input to other programs. It's considerably safer for that purpose than the old recommendation to use "unaligned" format, since the latter couldn't handle data containing the field separator character.

* Fix realfailN lexer rules to not make assumptions about input format.Tom Lane2018-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The realfail1 and realfail2 backup-prevention rules always returned token type FCONST, ignoring the possibility that what we've scanned is more appropriately described as ICONST. I think that at the time that code was added, it might actually have been safe to not distinguish; but since we started allowing AS-less aliases in SELECT target lists, it's definitely legal to have a number immediately followed by an identifier. In the SELECT case, it seems there's no visible consequence because make_const() will change the type back to integer anyway. But I'm worried that there are other contexts, or will be in future, where it's more important to get the constant's type right. Hence, use process_integer_literal to correctly determine which token type to return. Arguably this is a bug fix, but given the lack of evidence of user-visible problems, I'll refrain from back-patching. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21364.1542136808@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Align ECPG lexer more closely with the core and psql lexers.Tom Lane2018-11-13

* Fix lexing of standard multi-character operators in edge cases.Andrew Gierth2018-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits c6b3c939b (which fixed the precedence of >=, <=, <> operators) and 865f14a2d (which added support for the standard => notation for named arguments) created a class of lexer tokens which look like multi-character operators but which have their own token IDs distinct from Op. However, longest-match rules meant that following any of these tokens with another operator character, as in (1<>-1), would cause them to be incorrectly returned as Op. The error here isn't immediately obvious, because the parser would usually still find the correct operator via the Op token, but there were more subtle problems: 1. If immediately followed by a comment or +-, >= <= <> would be given the old precedence of Op rather than the correct new precedence; 2. If followed by a comment, != would be returned as Op rather than as NOT_EQUAL, causing it not to be found at all; 3. If followed by a comment or +-, the => token for named arguments would be lexed as Op, causing the argument to be mis-parsed as a simple expression, usually causing an error. Fix by explicitly checking for the operators in the {operator} code block in addition to all the existing special cases there. Backpatch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

* Reduce an unnecessary O(N^3) loop in lexer.Andrew Gierth2018-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | The lexer's handling of operators contained an O(N^3) hazard when dealing with long strings of + or - characters; it seems hard to prevent this case from being O(N^2), but the additional N multiplier was not needed. Backpatch all the way since this has been there since 7.x, and it presents at least a mild hazard in that trying to do Bind, PREPARE or EXPLAIN on a hostile query could take excessive time (without honouring cancels or timeouts) even if the query was never executed.
* 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).

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. 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.

* 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.

The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Allow psql variable substitution to occur in backtick command strings.Tom Lane2017-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, text between backquotes in a psql metacommand's arguments was always passed to the shell literally. That considerably hobbles the usefulness of the feature for scripting, so we'd foreseen for a long time that we'd someday want to allow substitution of psql variables into the shell command. IMO the addition of \if metacommands has brought us to that point, since \if can greatly benefit from some sort of client-side expression evaluation capability, and psql itself is not going to grow any such thing in time for v10. Hence, this patch. It allows :VARIABLE to be replaced by the exact contents of the named variable, while :'VARIABLE' is replaced by the variable's contents suitably quoted to become a single shell-command argument. (The quoting rules for that are different from those for SQL literals, so this is a bit of an abuse of the :'VARIABLE' notation, but I doubt anyone will be confused.) As with other situations in psql, no substitution occurs if the word following a colon is not a known variable name. That limits the risk of compatibility problems for existing psql scripts; but the risk isn't zero, so this needs to be called out in the v10 release notes.

* Add a "void *" passthrough pointer for psqlscan.l's callback functions.Tom Lane2017-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The immediate motivation for this is to provide clean infrastructure for the proposed \if...\endif patch for psql; but it seems like a good thing to have even if that patch doesn't get in. Previously the callback functions could only make use of application-global state, which is a pretty severe handicap. For the moment, the pointer is only passed through to the get_variable callback function. I considered also passing it to the write_error callback, but for now let's not. Neither psql nor pgbench has a use for that, and in the case of psql we'd have to invent a separate wrapper function because we would certainly not want to change the signature of psql_error().

* Remove useless duplicate inclusions of system header files.Tom Lane2017-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>. There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so. While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this globally, only in files I was touching anyway.) I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism, but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.
* Suppress "unused variable" warnings with older versions of flex.Tom Lane2017-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Versions of flex before 2.5.36 might generate code that results in an "unused variable" warning, when using %option reentrant. Historically we've worked around that by specifying -Wno-error, but that's an unsatisfying solution. The official "fix" for this was just to insert a dummy reference to the variable, so write a small perl script that edits the generated C code similarly. The MSVC side of this is untested, but the buildfarm should soon reveal if I broke that. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/25456.1487437842@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Restore psql's SIGPIPE setting if popen() fails.Tom Lane2016-12-07
| | | | | | Ancient oversight in PageOutput(): if popen() fails, we'd better reset the SIGPIPE handler before returning stdout, because ClosePager() won't. Noticed while fixing the empty-PAGER issue.
* Handle empty or all-blank PAGER setting more sanely in psql.Tom Lane2016-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the PAGER environment variable is set but contains an empty string, psql would pass it to "sh" which would silently exit, causing whatever query output we were printing to vanish entirely. This is quite mystifying; it took a long time for us to figure out that this was the cause of Joseph Brenner's trouble report. Rather than allowing that to happen, we should treat this as another way to specify "no pager". (We could alternatively treat it as selecting the default pager, but it seems more likely that the former is what the user meant to achieve by setting PAGER this way.) Nonempty, but all-white-space, PAGER values have the same behavior, and it's pretty easy to test for that, so let's handle that case the same way. Most other cases of faulty PAGER values will result in the shell printing some kind of complaint to stderr, which should be enough to diagnose the problem, so we don't need to work harder than this. (Note that there's been an intentional decision not to be very chatty about apparent failure returns from the pager process, since that may happen if, eg, the user quits the pager with control-C or some such. I'd just as soon not start splitting hairs about which exit codes might merit making our own report.) libpq's old PQprint() function was already on board with ignoring empty PAGER values, but for consistency, make it ignore all-white-space values as well. It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFfgvXWLOE2novHzYjmQK8-J6TmHz42G8f3X0SORM44+stUGmw@mail.gmail.com
* Teach appendShellString() to not quote strings containing "-".Tom Lane2016-09-06
| | | | | | | Brain fade in commit a00c58314: I was thinking that a string starting with "-" could be taken as a switch depending on command line syntax. That's true, but having appendShellString() quote it will not help, so we may as well not do so. Per complaint from Peter Eisentraut.
* Make initdb's suggested "pg_ctl start" command line more reliable.Tom Lane2016-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding here was not nearly careful enough about quoting special characters, and it didn't get corner cases right for constructing the pg_ctl path either. Use join_path_components() and appendShellString() to do it honestly, so that the string will more likely work if blindly copied-and-pasted. While at it, teach appendShellString() not to quote strings that clearly don't need it, so that the output from initdb doesn't become uglier than it was before in typical cases where quoting is not needed.

* Fix assorted places in psql to print version numbers >= 10 in new style.Tom Lane2016-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is somewhat cosmetic, since as long as you know what you are looking at, "10.0" is a serviceable substitute for "10". But there is a potential for confusion between version numbers with minor numbers and those without --- we don't want people asking "why is psql saying 10.0 when my server is 10.2". Therefore, back-patch as far as practical, which turns out to be 9.3. I could have redone the patch to use fprintf(stderr) in place of psql_error(), but it seems more work than is warranted for branches that will be EOL or nearly so by the time v10 comes out. Although only psql seems to contain any code that needs this, I chose to put the support function into fe_utils, since it seems likely we'll need it in other client programs in future. (In 9.3-9.5, use dumputils.c, the predecessor of fe_utils/string_utils.c.) In HEAD, also fix the backend code that whines about loadable-library version mismatch. I don't see much need to back-patch that.
* Obstruct shell, SQL, and conninfo injection via database and role names.Noah Misch2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to simplistic quoting and confusion of database names with conninfo strings, roles with the CREATEDB or CREATEROLE option could escalate to superuser privileges when a superuser next ran certain maintenance commands. The new coding rule for PQconnectdbParams() calls, documented at conninfo_array_parse(), is to pass expand_dbname=true and wrap literal database names in a trivial connection string.

* Support \crosstabview in psqlAlvaro Herrera2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | \crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself, similar to a spreadsheet. The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its ordering from the order in which they appear in the query. This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be revisited in the future. Author: Daniel Verité Reviewed-by: Pavel Stehule, Dean Rasheed
* Move psql's psqlscan.l into src/fe_utils.Tom Lane2016-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | This completes (at least for now) the project of getting rid of ad-hoc linkages among the src/bin/ subdirectories. Everything they share is now in src/fe_utils/ and is included from a static library at link time. A side benefit is that we can restore the FLEX_NO_BACKUP check for psqlscanslash.l. We might need to think of another way to do that check if we ever need to build two lexers with that property in the same source directory, but there's no foreseeable reason to need that.

* Create src/fe_utils/, and move stuff into there from pg_dump's dumputils.Tom Lane2016-03-24
Per discussion, we want to create a static library and put the stuff into it that until now has been shared across src/bin/ directories by ad-hoc methods like symlinking a source file. This commit creates the library and populates it with a couple of files that contain the widely-useful portions of pg_dump's dumputils.c file. dumputils.c survives, because it has some stuff that didn't seem appropriate for fe_utils, but it's significantly smaller and is no longer referenced from any other directory. Follow-on patches will move more stuff into fe_utils. The Mkvcbuild.pm hacking here is just a best guess; we'll see how the buildfarm likes it.
