* 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
* 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. Escape zero-length values in appendConnStrVal(). Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Nathan Bossart, Michael Paquier, and Noah Misch. Reviewed by Peter Eisentraut. Reported by Nathan Bossart.

* Promote pg_dumpall shell/connstr quoting functions to src/fe_utils.Noah Misch2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | Rename these newly-extern functions with terms more typical of their new neighbors. No functional changes; a subsequent commit will use them in more places. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Back branches lack src/fe_utils, so instead rename the functions in place; the subsequent commit will copy them into the other programs using them.

* Fix comment.Tom Lane2016-05-15
| | | | | Reference to getThreadLocalPQExpBuffer here seems inappropriate, since we aren't necessarily using that instantiation of getLocalPQExpBuffer.
* Move and rename fmtReloptionsArray().Dean Rasheed2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | Move fmtReloptionsArray() from pg_dump.c to string_utils.c so that it is available to other frontend code. In particular psql's \ev and \sv commands need it to handle view reloptions. Also rename the function to appendReloptionsArray(), which is a more accurate description of what it does.

* 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.
* Move psql's print.c and mbprint.c into src/fe_utils.Tom Lane2016-03-24

* 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.
