* Phase 2 pgindent run for v12.Tom Lane2019-05-22

* Use slots in trigger infrastructure, except for the actual invocation.Andres Freund2019-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for abstracting table storage, convert trigger.c to track tuples in slots. Which also happens to make code calling triggers simpler. As the calling interface for triggers themselves is not changed in this patch, HeapTuples still are extracted from the slot at that time. But that's handled solely inside trigger.c, not visible to callers. It's quite likely that we'll want to revise the external trigger interface, but that's a separate large project. As part of this work the slots used for old/new/return tuples are moved from EState into ResultRelInfo, as different updated tables might need different slots. The slots are now also now created on-demand, which is good both from an efficiency POV, but also makes the modifying code simpler.

* Allow using the updated tuple while moving it to a different partition.Amit Kapila2018-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An update that causes the tuple to be moved to a different partition was missing out on re-constructing the to-be-updated tuple, based on the latest tuple in the update chain. Instead, it's simply deleting the latest tuple and inserting a new tuple in the new partition based on the old tuple. Commit 2f17844104 didn't consider this case, so some of the updates were getting lost. In passing, change the argument order for output parameter in ExecDelete and add some commentary about it.

* MERGE SQL Command following SQL:2016Simon Riggs2018-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows a task that would other require multiple PL statements. e.g. MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row, statement and transition triggers. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules, RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables. MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016. Includes full tests and documentation, including full isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior. This version written from scratch in 2017 by Simon Riggs, using docs and tests originally written in 2009. Later work from Pavan Deolasee has been both complex and deep, leaving the lead author credit now in his hands.

Now we allow AFTER triggers on them, and on trigger creation we cascade to create an identical trigger in each partition.

* Fix SQL-spec incompatibilities in new transition table feature.Tom Lane2017-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The standard says that all changes of the same kind (insert, update, or delete) caused in one table by a single SQL statement should be reported in a single transition table; and by that, they mean to include foreign key enforcement actions cascading from the statement's direct effects. It's also reasonable to conclude that if the standard had wCTEs, they would say that effects of wCTEs applying to the same table as each other or the outer statement should be merged into one transition table. We weren't doing it like that. Hence, arrange to merge tuples from multiple update actions into a single transition table as much as we can. There is a problem, which is that if the firing of FK enforcement triggers and after-row triggers with transition tables is interspersed, we might need to report more tuples after some triggers have already seen the transition table. It seems like a bad idea for the transition table to be mutable between trigger calls. There's no good way around this without a major redesign of the FK logic, so for now, resolve it by opening a new transition table each time this happens. Also, ensure that AFTER STATEMENT triggers fire just once per statement, or once per transition table when we're forced to make more than one. Previous versions of Postgres have allowed each FK enforcement query to cause an additional firing of the AFTER STATEMENT triggers for the referencing table, but that's certainly not per spec. (We're still doing multiple firings of BEFORE STATEMENT triggers, though; is that something worth changing?) Also, forbid using transition tables with column-specific UPDATE triggers. The spec requires such transition tables to show only the tuples for which the UPDATE trigger would have fired, which means maintaining multiple transition tables or else somehow filtering the contents at readout. Maybe someday we'll bother to support that option, but it looks like a lot of trouble for a marginal feature. The transition tables are now managed by the AfterTriggers data structures, rather than being directly the responsibility of ModifyTable nodes. This removes a subtransaction-lifespan memory leak introduced by my previous band-aid patch 3c4359521. In passing, refactor the AfterTriggers data structures to reduce the management overhead for them, by using arrays of structs rather than several parallel arrays for per-query-level and per-subtransaction state. I failed to resist the temptation to do some copy-editing on the SGML docs about triggers, above and beyond merely documenting the effects of this patch. Back-patch to v10, because we don't want the semantics of transition tables to change post-release. Patch by me, with help and review from Thomas Munro.

* 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.

This avoids having to manually maintain these prototypes across a random variety of header files. It also automatically enforces a correct function signature, and since there are warnings about missing prototypes, it will detect functions that are defined but not registered in pg_proc.h (or otherwise used).

| | | | | | | | | | | | This is infrastructure for the complete SQL standard feature. No support is included at this point for execution nodes or PLs. The intent is to add that soon. As this patch leaves things, standard syntax can create tuplestores to contain old and/or new versions of rows affected by a statement. References to these tuplestores are in the TriggerData structure. C triggers can access the tuplestores directly, so they are usable, but they cannot yet be referenced within a SQL statement.

* Change many routines to return ObjectAddress rather than OIDAlvaro Herrera2015-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The changed routines are mostly those that can be directly called by ProcessUtilitySlow; the intention is to make the affected object information more precise, in support for future event trigger changes. Originally it was envisioned that the OID of the affected object would be enough, and in most cases that is correct, but upon actually implementing the event trigger changes it turned out that ObjectAddress is more widely useful. Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument that's an object address which provides further info about the executed command. To wit: * for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of the new constraint * for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the schema that originally contained the object. * for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address of the object added to or dropped from the extension.

* Offer triggers on foreign tables.Noah Misch2014-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This covers all the SQL-standard trigger types supported for regular tables; it does not cover constraint triggers. The approach for acquiring the old row mirrors that for view INSTEAD OF triggers. For AFTER ROW triggers, we spool the foreign tuples to a tuplestore. This changes the FDW API contract; when deciding which columns to populate in the slot returned from data modification callbacks, writable FDWs will need to check for AFTER ROW triggers in addition to checking for a RETURNING clause. In support of the feature addition, refactor the TriggerFlags bits and the assembly of old tuples in ModifyTable. Ronan Dunklau, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei; some additional hacking by me.
* Avoid repeated name lookups during table and index DDL.Robert Haas2014-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to concurrent activity, we might perform some parts of the DDL on a different table than other parts. At least in the case of CREATE INDEX, this can be used to cause the permissions checks to be performed against a different table than the index creation, allowing for a privilege escalation attack. This changes the calling convention for DefineIndex, CreateTrigger, transformIndexStmt, transformAlterTableStmt, CheckIndexCompatible (in 9.2 and newer), and AlterTable (in 9.1 and older). In addition, CheckRelationOwnership is removed in 9.2 and newer and the calling convention is changed in older branches. A field has also been added to the Constraint node (FkConstraint in 8.4). Third-party code calling these functions or using the Constraint node will require updating. Report by Andres Freund. Patch by Robert Haas and Andres Freund, reviewed by Tom Lane.

* Improve tests for whether we can skip queueing RI enforcement triggers.Tom Lane2012-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | During an update of a PK row, we can skip firing the RI trigger if any old key value is NULL, because then the row could not have had any matching rows in the FK table. Conversely, during an update of an FK row, the outcome is determined if any new key value is NULL. In either case it becomes unnecessary to compare individual key values. This patch was inspired by discussion of Vik Reykja's patch to use IS NOT DISTINCT semantics for the key comparisons. In the event there is no need for that and so this patch looks nothing like his, but he should still get credit for having re-opened consideration of the trigger skip logic.

* Improve behavior of concurrent rename statements.Robert Haas2011-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, renaming a table, sequence, view, index, foreign table, column, or trigger checked permissions before locking the object, which meant that if permissions were revoked during the lock wait, we would still allow the operation. Similarly, if the original object is dropped and a new one with the same name is created, the operation will be allowed if we had permissions on the old object; the permissions on the new object don't matter. All this is now fixed. Along the way, attempting to rename a trigger on a foreign table now gives the same error message as trying to create one there in the first place (i.e. that it's not a table or view) rather than simply stating that no trigger by that name exists. Patch by me; review by Noah Misch.

* Clean up the #include mess a little.Tom Lane2011-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | walsender.h should depend on xlog.h, not vice versa. (Actually, the inclusion was circular until a couple hours ago, which was even sillier; but Bruce broke it in the expedient rather than logically correct direction.) Because of that poor decision, plus blind application of pgrminclude, we had a situation where half the system was depending on xlog.h to include such unrelated stuff as array.h and guc.h. Clean up the header inclusion, and manually revert a lot of what pgrminclude had done so things build again. This episode reinforces my feeling that pgrminclude should not be run without adult supervision. Inclusion changes in header files in particular need to be reviewed with great care. More generally, it'd be good if we had a clearer notion of module layering to dictate which headers can sanely include which others ... but that's a big task for another day.

* Try to acquire relation locks in RangeVarGetRelid.Robert Haas2011-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, we would look up a relation in RangeVarGetRelid, lock the resulting OID, and then AcceptInvalidationMessages(). While this was sufficient to ensure that we noticed any changes to the relation definition before building the relcache entry, it didn't handle the possibility that the name we looked up no longer referenced the same OID. This was particularly problematic in the case where a table had been dropped and recreated: we'd latch on to the entry for the old relation and fail later on. Now, we acquire the relation lock inside RangeVarGetRelid, and retry the name lookup if we notice that invalidation messages have been processed meanwhile. Many operations that would previously have failed with an error in the presence of concurrent DDL will now succeed. There is a good deal of work remaining to be done here: many callers of RangeVarGetRelid still pass NoLock for one reason or another. In addition, nothing in this patch guards against the possibility that the meaning of an unqualified name might change due to the creation of a relation in a schema earlier in the user's search path than the one where it was previously found. Furthermore, there's nothing at all here to guard against similar race conditions for non-relations. For all that, it's a start. Noah Misch and Robert Haas

* Fix dangling-pointer problem in before-row update trigger processing.Tom Lane2011-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecUpdate checked for whether ExecBRUpdateTriggers had returned a new tuple value by seeing if the returned tuple was pointer-equal to the old one. But the "old one" was in estate->es_junkFilter's result slot, which would be scribbled on if we had done an EvalPlanQual update in response to a concurrent update of the target tuple; therefore we were comparing a dangling pointer to a live one. Given the right set of circumstances we could get a false match, resulting in not forcing the tuple to be stored in the slot we thought it was stored in. In the case reported by Maxim Boguk in bug #5798, this led to "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple" failures when trying to do "RETURNING ctid". I believe there is a very-low-probability chance of more serious errors, such as generating incorrect index entries based on the original rather than the trigger-modified version of the row. In HEAD, change all of ExecBRInsertTriggers, ExecIRInsertTriggers, ExecBRUpdateTriggers, and ExecIRUpdateTriggers so that they continue to have similar APIs. In the back branches I just changed ExecBRUpdateTriggers, since there is no bug in the ExecBRInsertTriggers case.

The trigger function is passed the entire old and/or new rows of the view, and must figure out what to do to the underlying tables to implement the update. So this feature can be used to implement updatable views using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking.

* Improve the handling of SET CONSTRAINTS commands by having them searchTom Lane2010-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_constraint before searching pg_trigger. This allows saner handling of corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable" rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable. Per a gripe several months ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski. To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers, we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint. However, in return we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents a fairly sizable space savings. I also replaced the tgisconstraint column with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was internally generated rather than being user-created. In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable. Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to a nominally deferrable FK constraint. The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.

* Re-implement EvalPlanQual processing to improve its performance and eliminateTom Lane2009-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a lot of strange behaviors that occurred in join cases. We now identify the "current" row for every joined relation in UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries. If an EvalPlanQual recheck is necessary, we jam the appropriate row into each scan node in the rechecking plan, forcing it to emit only that one row. The former behavior could rescan the whole of each joined relation for each recheck, which was terrible for performance, and what's much worse could result in duplicated output tuples. Also, the original implementation of EvalPlanQual could not re-use the recheck execution tree --- it had to go through a full executor init and shutdown for every row to be tested. To avoid this overhead, I've associated a special runtime Param with each LockRows or ModifyTable plan node, and arranged to make every scan node below such a node depend on that Param. Thus, by signaling a change in that Param, the EPQ machinery can just rescan the already-built test plan. This patch also adds a prohibition on set-returning functions in the targetlist of SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE. This is needed to avoid the duplicate-output-tuple problem. It seems fairly reasonable since the other restrictions on SELECT FOR UPDATE are meant to ensure that there is a unique correspondence between source tuples and result tuples, which an output SRF destroys as much as anything else does.
* Split the processing of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations out of execMain.c.Tom Lane2009-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | They are now handled by a new plan node type called ModifyTable, which is placed at the top of the plan tree. In itself this change doesn't do much, except perhaps make the handling of RETURNING lists and inherited UPDATEs a tad less klugy. But it is necessary preparation for the intended extension of allowing RETURNING queries inside WITH. Marko Tiikkaja
* Support deferrable uniqueness constraints.Tom Lane2009-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the time of insertion. This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts, but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments. Improving that case is a TODO item. Dean Rasheed
