* Avoid holding a directory FD open across assorted SRF calls.Tom Lane2020-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the fixes made in commit 085b6b667 to other SRFs with the same bug, namely pg_logdir_ls(), pgrowlocks(), pg_timezone_names(), pg_ls_dir(), and pg_tablespace_databases(). Also adjust various comments and documentation to warn against expecting to clean up resources during a ValuePerCall SRF's final call. Back-patch to all supported branches, since these functions were all born broken. Justin Pryzby, with cosmetic tweaks by me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200308173103.GC1357@telsasoft.com

* Phase 2 pgindent run for v12.Tom Lane2019-05-22
| | | | | | | | | Switch to 2.1 version of pg_bsd_indent. This formats multiline function declarations "correctly", that is with additional lines of parameter declarations indented to match where the first line's left parenthesis is.

* Clean up in the wake of TupleDescGetSlot() removal / 10763358c3f.Andres Freund2018-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous commit wasn't careful enough to remove all traces of TupleDescGetSlot(). Besides fixing the oversight of not removing TupleDescGetSlot()'s declaration, this also removes FuncCallContext->slot. That was documented to be for use in combination with TupleDescGetSlot(), a cursory search over extensions finds no users, and there doesn't seem to be convincing reasons to keep it around. If we later in the v12 release cycle find users, we can re-consider this part of the commit. Reported-By: Michael Paquier Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180926000413.GC1659@paquier.xyz
* Support INOUT arguments in proceduresPeter Eisentraut2018-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | In a top-level CALL, the values of INOUT arguments will be returned as a result row. In PL/pgSQL, the values are assigned back to the input arguments. In other languages, the same convention as for return a record from a function is used. That does not require any code changes in the PL implementations.

* Support domains over composite types.Tom Lane2017-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the last major omission in our domains feature: you can now make a domain over anything that's not a pseudotype. The major complication from an implementation standpoint is that places that might be creating tuples of a domain type now need to be prepared to apply domain_check(). It seems better that unprepared code fail with an error like "<type> is not composite" than that it silently fail to apply domain constraints. Therefore, relevant infrastructure like get_func_result_type() and lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() has been adjusted to treat domain-over-composite as a distinct case that unprepared code won't recognize, rather than just transparently treating it the same as plain composite. This isn't a 100% solution to the possibility of overlooked domain checks, but it catches most places. In passing, improve typcache.c's support for domains (it can now cache the identity of a domain's base type), and rewrite the argument handling logic in jsonfuncs.c's populate_record[set]_worker to reduce duplicative per-call lookups. I believe this is code-complete so far as the core and contrib code go. The PLs need varying amounts of work, which will be tackled in followup patches.

* Add a utility function to extract variadic function argumentsAndrew Dunstan2017-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | This is epecially useful in the case or "VARIADIC ANY" functions. The caller can get the artguments and types regardless of whether or not and explicit VARIADIC array argument has been used. The function also provides an option to convert arguments on type "unknown" to to "text". Michael Paquier and me, reviewed by Tom Lane. Backpatch to 9.4 in order to support the following json bug fix.
* 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.

* Widen query numbers-of-tuples-processed counters to uint64.Tom Lane2016-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch widens SPI_processed, EState's es_processed field, PortalData's portalPos field, FuncCallContext's call_cntr and max_calls fields, ExecutorRun's count argument, PortalRunFetch's result, and the max number of rows in a SPITupleTable to uint64, and deals with (I hope) all the ensuing fallout. Some of these values were declared uint32 before, and others "long". I also removed PortalData's posOverflow field, since that logic seems pretty useless given that portalPos is now always 64 bits. The user-visible results are that command tags for SELECT etc will correctly report tuple counts larger than 4G, as will plpgsql's GET GET DIAGNOSTICS ... ROW_COUNT command. Queries processing more tuples than that are still not exactly the norm, but they're becoming more common. Most values associated with FETCH/MOVE distances, such as PortalRun's count argument and the count argument of most SPI functions that have one, remain declared as "long". It's not clear whether it would be worth promoting those to int64; but it would definitely be a large dollop of additional API churn on top of this, and it would only help 32-bit platforms which seem relatively less likely to see any benefit.

* Fix failure to detoast fields in composite elements of structured types.Tom Lane2014-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have an array of records stored on disk, the individual record fields cannot contain out-of-line TOAST pointers: the tuptoaster.c mechanisms are only prepared to deal with TOAST pointers appearing in top-level fields of a stored row. The same applies for ranges over composite types, nested composites, etc. However, the existing code only took care of expanding sub-field TOAST pointers for the case of nested composites, not for other structured types containing composites. For example, given a command such as UPDATE tab SET arraycol = ARRAY[(ROW(x,42)::mycompositetype] ... where x is a direct reference to a field of an on-disk tuple, if that field is long enough to be toasted out-of-line then the TOAST pointer would be inserted as-is into the array column. If the source record for x is later deleted, the array field value would become a dangling pointer, leading to errors along the line of "missing chunk number 0 for toast value ..." when the value is referenced. A reproducible test case for this was provided by Jan Pecek, but it seems likely that some of the "missing chunk number" reports we've heard in the past were caused by similar issues. Code-wise, the problem is that PG_DETOAST_DATUM() is not adequate to produce a self-contained Datum value if the Datum is of composite type. Seen in this light, the problem is not just confined to arrays and ranges, but could also affect some other places where detoasting is done in that way, for example form_index_tuple(). I tried teaching the array code to apply toast_flatten_tuple_attribute() along with PG_DETOAST_DATUM() when the array element type is composite, but this was messy and imposed extra cache lookup costs whether or not any TOAST pointers were present, indeed sometimes when the array element type isn't even composite (since sometimes it takes a typcache lookup to find that out). The idea of extending that approach to all the places that currently use PG_DETOAST_DATUM() wasn't attractive at all. This patch instead solves the problem by decreeing that composite Datum values must not contain any out-of-line TOAST pointers in the first place; that is, we expand out-of-line fields at the point of constructing a composite Datum, not at the point where we're about to insert it into a larger tuple. This rule is applied only to true composite Datums, not to tuples that are being passed around the system as tuples, so it's not as invasive as it might sound at first. With this approach, the amount of code that has to be touched for a full solution is greatly reduced, and added cache lookup costs are avoided except when there actually is a TOAST pointer that needs to be inlined. The main drawback of this approach is that we might sometimes dereference a TOAST pointer that will never actually be used by the query, imposing a rather large cost that wasn't there before. On the other side of the coin, if the field value is used multiple times then we'll come out ahead by avoiding repeat detoastings. Experimentation suggests that common SQL coding patterns are unaffected either way, though. Applications that are very negatively affected could be advised to modify their code to not fetch columns they won't be using. In future, we might consider reverting this solution in favor of detoasting only at the point where data is about to be stored to disk, using some method that can drill down into multiple levels of nested structured types. That will require defining new APIs for structured types, though, so it doesn't seem feasible as a back-patchable fix. Note that this patch changes HeapTupleGetDatum() from a macro to a function call; this means that any third-party code using that macro will not get protection against creating TOAST-pointer-containing Datums until it's recompiled. The same applies to any uses of PG_RETURN_HEAPTUPLEHEADER(). It seems likely that this is not a big problem in practice: most of the tuple-returning functions in core and contrib produce outputs that could not possibly be toasted anyway, and the same probably holds for third-party extensions. This bug has existed since TOAST was invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Introduce jsonb, a structured format for storing json.Andrew Dunstan2014-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new format accepts exactly the same data as the json type. However, it is stored in a format that does not require reparsing the orgiginal text in order to process it, making it much more suitable for indexing and other operations. Insignificant whitespace is discarded, and the order of object keys is not preserved. Neither are duplicate object keys kept - the later value for a given key is the only one stored. The new type has all the functions and operators that the json type has, with the exception of the json generation functions (to_json, json_agg etc.) and with identical semantics. In addition, there are operator classes for hash and btree indexing, and two classes for GIN indexing, that have no equivalent in the json type. This feature grew out of previous work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, which was intended to provide similar facilities to a nested hstore type, but which in the end proved to have some significant compatibility issues.
