* Make LockDatabaseObject() AcceptInvalidationMessages().Robert Haas2010-08-16
| | | | | | | This is appropriate for the same reasons we already do it in LockSharedObject(): things might have changed while we were waiting for the lock. There doesn't seem to be a live bug here at the moment, but that's mostly because it isn't currently used for very much.
* Fix psql's copy of utf2ucs() to match the backend's copy exactly;Tom Lane2010-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | in particular, propagate a fix in the test to see whether a UTF8 character has length 4 bytes. This is likely of little real-world consequence because 5-or-more-byte UTF8 sequences are not supported by Postgres nor seen anywhere in the wild, but still we may as well get it right. Problem found by Joseph Adams. Bug is aboriginal, so back-patch all the way.
* Fix planner to make a reasonable assumption about the amount of memory spaceTom Lane2010-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | used by array_agg(), string_agg(), and similar aggregate functions that use "internal" as their transition datatype. The previous coding thought this took *no* extra space, since "internal" is pass-by-value; but actually these aggregates typically consume a great deal of space. Per bug #5608 from Itagaki Takahiro, and fix suggestion from Hitoshi Harada. Back-patch to 8.4, where array_agg was introduced.
* Fix \ef and \sf to not fail on functions with nonnull probin.Tom Lane2010-08-14

* MyBackendId now needs to be PGDLLIMPORT, so that contrib modules canTom Lane2010-08-14
| | | | access it on Windows. Per buildfarm.
* Further dtrace adjustments for the backend-IDs-in-relpath patch.Robert Haas2010-08-14
| | | | | Update the documentation, and back out a few ill-considered changes whose folly I failed to realize for failure to read the documentation.
* Fix assorted dtrace breakage caused by patch to include backend IDsRobert Haas2010-08-13
| | | | | | in temp relpaths. Per buildfarm.
* Clean up failure to use ClosePager() where appropriate in help.c.Tom Lane2010-08-13
| | | | Also prevent possible repeat opening of pager in helpSQL().
* Include the backend ID in the relpath of temporary relations.Robert Haas2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to reliably remove all leftover temporary relation files on cluster startup without reference to system catalogs or WAL; therefore, we no longer include temporary relations in XLOG_XACT_COMMIT and XLOG_XACT_ABORT WAL records. Since these changes require including a backend ID in each SharedInvalSmgrMsg, the size of the SharedInvalidationMessage.id field has been reduced from two bytes to one, and the maximum number of connections has been reduced from INT_MAX / 4 to 2^23-1. It would be possible to remove these restrictions by increasing the size of SharedInvalidationMessage by 4 bytes, but right now that doesn't seem like a good trade-off. Review by Jaime Casanova and Tom Lane.
* Minor #include cleanup.Tom Lane2010-08-13
| | | | | | I just noticed that libpq's pqsignal.h was violating our general inclusion style guidelines by explicitly including postgres_fe.h. Remove that, and put it in pqsignal.c where it belongs.
* Add xml_is_well_formed, xml_is_well_formed_document, xml_is_well_formed_contentTom Lane2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | functions to the core XML code. Per discussion, the former depends on XMLOPTION while the others do not. These supersede a version previously offered by contrib/xml2. Mike Fowler, reviewed by Pavel Stehule
* Fix Assert failure in PushOverrideSearchPath when trying to restore a searchTom Lane2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | path that specifies useTemp, but there is no active temp schema in the current session. (This can happen if the path was saved during a transaction that created a temp schema and was later rolled back.) For existing callers it's sufficient to ignore the useTemp flag in this case, though we might later want to offer an option to create a fresh temp schema. So far as I can tell this is just an Assert failure: in a non-assert build, the code would push a zero onto the new search path, which is useless but not very harmful. Per bug report from Heikki. Back-patch to 8.3; prior versions don't have this code.
* Make RecordTransactionCommit() respect wal_level.Robert Haas2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | | Since the only purpose of WAL-loggin SharedInvalidationMessages is to support Hot Standby operation, they needn't be included when wal_level < hot_standby. Back-patch to 9.0. Review by Heikki Linnakanagas and Fujii Masao.
* Fix pg_restore to complain if any arguments remain after parsing the switchesTom Lane2010-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | and input file name, per bug #5617 from Leo Shklovskii. Rearrange the corresponding code in pg_dump and pg_dumpall so that all three programs handle this in a consistent, straightforward fashion. Back-patch to 9.0, but no further. Although this is certainly a bug, it's possible that people have scripts that will be broken by the added error check, so it seems better not to change the behavior in stable branches.
* Correct sundry errors in Hot Standby-related comments.Robert Haas2010-08-12
| | | | Fujii Masao
* Extend psql's \e and \ef commands so that a line number can be specified,Tom Lane2010-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and the editor's cursor will be initially placed on that line. In \e the lines are counted with respect to the query buffer, while in \ef they are counted with line 1 = first line of function body. These choices are useful for positioning the cursor on the line of a previously-reported error. To avoid assumptions about what switch the user's editor takes for this purpose, invent a new psql variable EDITOR_LINENUMBER_SWITCH with (at present) no default value. One incompatibility from previous behavior is that "\e 1234" will now take "1234" as a line number not a file name. There are at least two ways to select a numerically-named file if you really want to. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Jan Urbanski, with further editing by Robert Haas and Tom Lane
* The sanity check added to array_recv() wa a bit too tight; we mustHeikki Linnakangas2010-08-11
| | | | | | | continue to accept an empty array with dimension information. array_send() can output such arrays. Per report from Vladimir Shakhov.
* Add three-parameter forms of array_to_string and string_to_array, to allowTom Lane2010-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | better handling of NULL elements within the arrays. The third parameter is a string that should be used to represent a NULL element, or should be translated into a NULL element, respectively. If the third parameter is NULL it behaves the same as the two-parameter form. There are two incompatible changes in the behavior of the two-parameter form of string_to_array. First, it will return an empty (zero-element) array rather than NULL when the input string is of zero length. Second, if the field separator is NULL, the function splits the string into individual characters, rather than returning NULL as before. These two changes make this form fully compatible with the behavior of the new three-parameter form. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Brendan Jurd
* Fix incorrect logic in plpgsql for cleanup after evaluation of non-simpleTom Lane2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | expressions. We need to deal with this when handling subscripts in an array assignment, and also when catching an exception. In an Assert-enabled build these omissions led to Assert failures, but I think in a normal build the only consequence would be short-term memory leakage; which may explain why this wasn't reported from the field long ago. Back-patch to all supported versions. 7.4 doesn't have exceptions, but otherwise these bugs go all the way back. Heikki Linnakangas and Tom Lane
* Modify the handling of RAISE without parameters so that the error it throwsTom Lane2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | can be caught in the same places that could catch an ordinary RAISE ERROR in the same location. The previous coding insisted on throwing the error from the block containing the active exception handler; which is arguably more surprising, and definitely unlike Oracle's behavior. Not back-patching, since this is a pretty obscure corner case. The risk of breaking somebody's code in a minor version update seems to outweigh any possible benefit. Piyush Newe, reviewed by David Fetter

* Add stats functions and views to provide access to a transaction's ownTom Lane2010-08-08
| | | | | | | | statistics counts. These numbers are being accumulated but haven't yet been transmitted to the collector (and won't be, until the transaction ends). For some purposes, though, it's handy to be able to look at them. Joel Jacobson, reviewed by Itagaki Takahiro
* Recognize functional dependency on primary keys. This allows a table'sTom Lane2010-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | other columns to be referenced without listing them in GROUP BY, so long as the primary key column(s) are listed in GROUP BY. Eventually we should also allow functional dependency on a UNIQUE constraint when the columns are marked NOT NULL, but that has to wait until NOT NULL constraints are represented in pg_constraint, because we need to have pg_constraint OIDs for all the conditions needed to ensure functional dependency.

* Add a very specific hint for the case that we're unable to locate a functionTom Lane2010-08-05
| | | | | | | matching a call like f(x, ORDER BY y,z). It could be that what the user really wants is f(x,z ORDER BY y). We now have pretty conclusive evidence that many people won't understand this problem without concrete guidance, so give it to them. Per further discussion of the string_agg() problem.
* Remove the single-argument form of string_agg(). It added nothing much inTom Lane2010-08-05
| | | | | | | | functionality, while creating an ambiguity in usage with ORDER BY that at least two people have already gotten seriously confused by. Also, add an opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different numbers of parameters. Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.
* Standardize get_whatever_oid functions for other object types.Robert Haas2010-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Rename TSParserGetPrsid to get_ts_parser_oid. - Rename TSDictionaryGetDictid to get_ts_dict_oid. - Rename TSTemplateGetTmplid to get_ts_template_oid. - Rename TSConfigGetCfgid to get_ts_config_oid. - Rename FindConversionByName to get_conversion_oid. - Rename GetConstraintName to get_constraint_oid. - Add new functions get_opclass_oid, get_opfamily_oid, get_rewrite_oid, get_rewrite_oid_without_relid, get_trigger_oid, and get_cast_oid. The name of each function matches the corresponding catalog. Thanks to KaiGai Kohei for the review.

* Fix declared argument name for numeric_maximum_size.Robert Haas2010-08-04
| | | | | The previous commit changed the function to say 'typmod' rather than 'typemod', but I forgot to update the header file.
* Fix numeric_maximum_size() calculation.Robert Haas2010-08-04
| | | | | | | | The old computation can sometimes underestimate the necessary space by 2 bytes; however we're not back-patching this, because this result isn't used for anything critical. Per discussion with Tom Lane, make the typmod test in this function match the ones in numeric() and apply_typmod() exactly.

* Add some comments to tinterval_cmp_internal pointing out its severeTom Lane2010-08-03
| | | | | | implementation deficiencies. Per discussion of bug #5592, we're not going to change it, but these things should be documented so that if anyone ever reimplements type tinterval, they will be more careful.
* Fix inheritance count tracking in ALTER TABLE .. ADD CONSTRAINT.Robert Haas2010-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without this patch, constraints inherited by children of a parent table which itself has multiple inheritance parents can end up with the wrong coninhcount. After dropping the constraint, the children end up with a leftover copy of the constraint that is not dumped and cannot be dropped. There is a similar problem with ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN, but that looks significantly more difficult to resolve, so I'm committing this fix separately. Back-patch to 8.4, which is the first release that has coninhcount. Report by Hank Enting.
* Be a little more careful with the shift computations in QT2QTN andTom Lane2010-08-03
| | | | | | | | makeTSQuerySign. The first of these is a live bug, on some platforms, as per bug #5590 from John Regehr. However the consequences seem limited because of the relatively narrow scope of use of QTNode.sign. The shift in makeTSQuerySign is actually safe because TSQS_SIGLEN is unsigned, but it seems like a good idea to insert an explicit cast rather than depend on that.
* Fix core dump in QTNodeCompare when tsquery_cmp() is applied to two emptyTom Lane2010-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsqueries. CompareTSQ has to have a guard for the case rather than blindly applying QTNodeCompare to random data past the end of the datums. Also, change QTNodeCompare to be a little less trusting: use an actual test rather than just Assert'ing that the input is sane. Problem encountered while investigating another issue (I saw a core dump in autoanalyze on a table containing multiple empty tsquery values). Back-patch to all branches with tsquery support. In HEAD, also fix some bizarre (though not outright wrong) coding in tsq_mcontains().
* Don't try to force use of -no-cpp-precomp on OS X. It's been five yearsTom Lane2010-08-02
| | | | | | | since Apple shipped a compiler that needed this switch, and there's increasing interest in using other compilers that won't accept the switch at all. Better to let anybody who still needs the switch inject it via CPPFLAGS. Per gripe from Neil Conway.
* Remove ancient PL/pgsql line numbering hack.Robert Haas2010-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | While this hack arguably has some benefit in terms of making PL/pgsql's line numbering match the programmer's expectations, it also makes PL/pgsql inconsistent with the remaining PLs, making it difficult for clients to reliably determine where the error actually is. On balance, it seems better to be consistent. Pavel Stehule
* Tweak a couple of macros in the regex code to suppress compiler warningsTom Lane2010-08-02
| | | | | | | | from "clang". The VERR changes make an assignment unconditional, which is probably easier to read/understand anyway, and one can hardly argue that it's worth shaving cycles off the case of reporting another error when one has already been detected. The INSIST change limits where that macro can be used, but not in a way that creates a problem for any existing call.
* Fix an ancient typo that prevented the detection of conflicting fields whenTom Lane2010-08-02
| | | | | | | | interval input "invalid" was specified together with other fields. Spotted by Neil Conway with the help of a clang warning. Although this has been wrong since the interval code was written more than 10 years ago, it doesn't affect anything beyond which error message you get for a wrong input, so not worth back-patching very far.
* Fix ANALYZE's ancient deficiency of not trying to collect stats for expressionTom Lane2010-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indexes when the index column type (the opclass opckeytype) is different from the expression's datatype. When coded, this limitation wasn't worth worrying about because we had no intelligence to speak of in stats collection for the datatypes used by such opclasses. However, now that there's non-toy estimation capability for tsvector queries, it amounts to a bug that ANALYZE fails to do this. The fix changes struct VacAttrStats, and therefore constitutes an API break for custom typanalyze functions. Therefore we can't back-patch it into released branches, but it was agreed that 9.0 isn't yet frozen hard enough to make such a change unacceptable. Ergo, back-patch to 9.0 but no further. The API break had better be mentioned in 9.0 release notes.
* Add some knowledge about prefix matches to tsmatchsel(). It's not terriblyTom Lane2010-08-01
| | | | | | bright, but it beats assuming that a prefix match behaves identically to an exact match, which is what the code was doing before :-(. Noted while experimenting with Artur Dobrowski's example.
* Fix an additional set of problems in GIN's handling of lossy page pointers.Tom Lane2010-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although the key-combining code claimed to work correctly if its input contained both lossy and exact pointers for a single page in a single TID stream, in fact this did not work, and could not work without pretty fundamental redesign. Modify keyGetItem so that it will not return such a stream, by handling lossy-pointer cases a bit more explicitly than we did before. Per followup investigation of a gripe from Artur Dabrowski. An example of a query that failed given his data set is select count(*) from search_tab where (to_tsvector('german', keywords ) @@ to_tsquery('german', 'ee:* | dd:*')) and (to_tsvector('german', keywords ) @@ to_tsquery('german', 'aa:*')); Back-patch to 8.4 where the lossy pointer code was introduced.
* Rewrite the rbtree routines so that an RBNode is the first field of theTom Lane2010-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct representing a tree entry, rather than being a separately allocated piece of storage. This API is at least as clean as the old one (if not more so --- there were some bizarre choices in there) and it permits a very substantial memory savings, on the order of 2X in ginbulk.c's usage. Also, fix minor memory leaks in code called by ginEntryInsert, in particular in ginInsertValue and entryFillRoot, as well as ginEntryInsert itself. These leaks resulted in the GIN index build context continuing to bloat even after we'd filled it to maintenance_work_mem and started to dump data out to the index. In combination these fixes restore the GIN index build code to honoring the maintenance_work_mem limit about as well as it did in 8.4. Speed seems on par with 8.4 too, maybe even a bit faster, for a non-pathological case in which HEAD was formerly slower. Back-patch to 9.0 so we don't have a performance regression from 8.4.
