* Refactor typenameTypeId()Peter Eisentraut2010-10-25
| | | | | | Split the old typenameTypeId() into two functions: A new typenameTypeId() that returns only a type OID, and typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and typmod. This isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.
* Fix overly-enthusiastic Assert in printing of Param reference expressions.Tom Lane2010-10-25
| | | | | | | | A NestLoopParam's value can only be a Var or Aggref, but this isn't the case in general for SubPlan parameters, so print_parameter_expr had better be prepared to cope. Brain fade in my recent patch to print the referenced expression instead of just printing $N for PARAM_EXEC Params. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
* Fix inline_set_returning_function() to preserve the invalItems list properly.Tom Lane2010-10-25
| | | | | | | | | This avoids a possible crash when inlining a SRF whose argument list contains a reference to an inline-able user function. The crash is quite reproducible with CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY enabled, but would be less certain in a production build. Problem introduced in 9.0 by the named-arguments patch, which requires invoking eval_const_expressions() before we can try to inline a SRF. Per report from Brendan Jurd.

* Support suffix matching of host names in pg_hba.confPeter Eisentraut2010-10-24
| | | | | A name starting with a dot can be used to match a suffix of the actual host name (e.g., .example.com matches foo.example.com).

* Make OFF keyword unreserved. It's not hard to imagine wanting to use 'off'Heikki Linnakangas2010-10-22
| | | | | | | | as a variable or column name, and it's not reserved in recent versions of the SQL spec either. This became particularly annoying in 9.0, before that PL/pgSQL replaced variable names in queries with parameter markers, so it was possible to use OFF and many other backend parser keywords as variable names. Because of that, backpatch to 9.0.
* Improve handling of domains over arrays.Tom Lane2010-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type. In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type, *not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied. If we're intending to store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the domain type so that constraints are re-checked. For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints. For the moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency. To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type; the typelem will always be zero instead. In those places where it's really okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type. catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents. Per bug #5717 from Richard Huxton and subsequent discussion.

* Don't try to fetch database name when SetTransactionIdLimit() is executedTom Lane2010-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | outside a transaction. This repairs brain fade in my patch of 2009-08-30: the reason we had been storing oldest-database name, not OID, in ShmemVariableCache was of course to avoid having to do a catalog lookup at times when it might be unsafe. This error explains why Aleksandr Dushein is having trouble getting out of an XID wraparound state in bug #5718, though not how he got into that state in the first place. I suspect pg_upgrade is at fault there.
* Remove AtStart_Cache() call in CommandCounterIncrement().Alvaro Herrera2010-10-20
| | | | | | | | This call was present in the aboriginal code from Berkeley, and has never been touched; it may very well be that it was there to mask effects of bugs in other places and it may no longer be necessary. The removal has been foreseen in a code comment since 2007; this seems to be a good time to test this hypothesis.
* Fix ecpg test building process to not generate *.dSYM junk on Macs.Tom Lane2010-10-20
| | | | | | | The trick is to not try to build executables directly from .c files, but to always build the intermediate .o files. For obscure reasons, Darwin's version of gcc will leave debug cruft behind in the first case but not the second. Per complaint from Robert Haas.
* Fix incorrect generation of whole-row variables in planner.Tom Lane2010-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars the same way the parser does. Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).

* Fix a passel of inappropriately-named global functions in GIN.Tom Lane2010-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GIN code has absolutely no business exporting GIN-specific functions with names as generic as compareItemPointers() or newScanKey(); that's just trouble waiting to happen. I got annoyed about this again just now and decided to fix it. This commit ensures that all global symbols defined in access/gin/ have names including "gin" or "Gin". There were a couple of cases, like names involving "PostingItem", where arguably the names were already sufficiently nongeneric; but I figured as long as I was risking creating merge problems for unapplied GIN patches I might as well impose a uniform policy. I didn't touch any static symbol names. There might be some places where it'd be appropriate to rename some static functions to match siblings that are exported, but I'll leave that for another time.
* Improve GIN indexscan cost estimation.Tom Lane2010-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The better estimate requires more statistics than we previously stored: in particular, counts of "entry" versus "data" pages within the index, as well as knowledge of the number of distinct key values. We collect this information during initial index build and update it during VACUUM, storing the info in new fields on the index metapage. No initdb is required because these fields will read as zeroes in a pre-existing index, and the new gincostestimate code is coded to behave (reasonably) sanely if they are zeroes. Teodor Sigaev, reviewed by Jan Urbanski, Tom Lane, and Itagaki Takahiro.
* Fix msvc build for localized versions of Visual C++Magnus Hagander2010-10-17
| | | | | | | Look only at the non-localized part of the output from "vcbuild /?", which is used to determine the version of Visual Studio in use. Different languages seem to localize different amounts of the string, but we assume the part "Microsoft Visual C++" won't be modified.

* Allow WITH clauses to be attached to INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements.Tom Lane2010-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is not the hoped-for facility of using INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE inside a WITH, but rather the other way around. It seems useful in its own right anyway. Note: catversion bumped because, although the contents of stored rules might look compatible, there's actually a subtle semantic change. A single Query containing a WITH and INSERT...VALUES now represents writing the WITH before the INSERT, not before the VALUES. While it's not clear that that matters to anyone, it seems like a good idea to have it cited in the git history for catversion.h. Original patch by Marko Tiikkaja, with updating and cleanup by Hitoshi Harada.

* Fix low-risk potential denial of service against RADIUS login.Magnus Hagander2010-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Corrupt RADIUS responses were treated as errors and not ignored (which the RFC2865 states they should be). This meant that a user with unfiltered access to the network of the PostgreSQL or RADIUS server could send a spoofed RADIUS response to the PostgreSQL server causing it to reject a valid login, provided the attacker could also guess (or brute-force) the correct port number. Fix is to simply retry the receive in a loop until the timeout has expired or a valid (signed by the correct RADIUS server) packet arrives. Reported by Alan DeKok in bug #5687.

* Support MergeAppend plans, to allow sorted output from append relations.Tom Lane2010-10-14
| | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates the former need to sort the output of an Append scan when an ordered scan of an inheritance tree is wanted. This should be particularly useful for fast-start cases such as queries with LIMIT. Original patch by Greg Stark, with further hacking by Hans-Jurgen Schonig, Robert Haas, and Tom Lane.
* Fix makefile logic to not break the build when xgettext is missingPeter Eisentraut2010-10-14
| | | | | | xgettext is only required when make init-po is run manually; it is not required for a build. The intent to handle that was already there, but the ifdef's were in the wrong place.

* Remove some unnecessary tests of pgstat_track_counts.Tom Lane2010-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | We may as well make pgstat_count_heap_scan() and related macros just count whenever rel->pgstat_info isn't null. Testing pgstat_track_counts buys nothing at all in the normal case where that flag is ON; and when it's OFF, the pgstat_info link will be null, so it's still a useless test. This change is unlikely to buy any noticeable performance improvement, but a cycle shaved is a cycle earned; and my investigations earlier today convinced me that we're down to the point where individual instructions in the inner execution loops are starting to matter.
* Fix plpython so that it again honors typmod while assigning to tuple fields.Tom Lane2010-10-11
| | | | | This was broken in 9.0 while improving plpython's conversion behavior for bytea and boolean. Per bug report from maizi.
* Fix assorted bugs in GIN's WAL replay logic.Tom Lane2010-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding was quite sloppy about handling the case where XLogReadBuffer fails (because the page has since been deleted). This would result in either "bad buffer id: 0" or an Assert failure during replay, if indeed the page were no longer there. In a couple of places it also neglected to check whether the change had already been applied, which would probably result in corrupted index contents. I believe that bug #5703 is an instance of the first problem. These issues could show up without replication, but only if you were unfortunate enough to crash between modification of a GIN index and the next checkpoint. Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as GIN has WAL support.
* Improve the planner's simplification of NOT constructs.Tom Lane2010-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch merges the responsibility for NOT-flattening into eval_const_expressions' processing. It wasn't done that way originally because prepqual.c is far older than eval_const_expressions. But putting this work into eval_const_expressions saves one pass over the qual trees, and in fact saves even more than that because we can exploit the knowledge that the subexpressions have already been recursively simplified. Doing it this way also lets us do it uniformly over all expressions, whereas prepqual.c formerly just did it at top level to save cycles. That should improve the planner's ability to recognize logically-equivalent constructs. While at it, also add the ability to fold a NOT into BooleanTest and NullTest constructs (the latter only for the scalar-datatype case). Per discussion of bug #5702.
* Teach psql to do tab completion for names of psql variables.Tom Lane2010-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | Completion is supported in the context of \set and when interpolating a variable value using :foo etc. In passing, fix some places in tab-complete.c that weren't following project style for comment formatting. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Itagaki Takahiro
* Support triggers on views.Tom Lane2010-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger, which is fired instead of performing a physical insert/update/delete. 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. In passing, this patch corrects the names of some columns in the information_schema.triggers view. It seems the SQL committee renamed them somewhere between SQL:99 and SQL:2003. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Bernd Helmle; some additional hacking by me.

* Fix sloppy usage of TRIGGER_FIRED_BEFORE/TRIGGER_FIRED_AFTER.Tom Lane2010-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various places were testing TRIGGER_FIRED_BEFORE() where what they really meant was !TRIGGER_FIRED_AFTER(), or vice versa. This needs to be cleaned up because there are about to be more than two possible states. We might want to note this in the 9.1 release notes as something for trigger authors to double-check. For consistency's sake I also changed some places that assumed that TRIGGER_FIRED_FOR_ROW and TRIGGER_FIRED_FOR_STATEMENT are necessarily mutually exclusive; that's not in immediate danger of breaking, but it's still sloppier than it should be. Extracted from Dean Rasheed's patch for triggers on views. I'm committing this separately since it's an identifiable separate issue, and is the only reason for the patch to touch most of these particular files.
* Improve logging in VACUUM FULL VERBOSE and CLUSTER VERBOSE.Tom Lane2010-10-07
| | | | | | | | | This patch resurrects some of the information that could be logged by the old, now-dead implementation of VACUUM FULL, in particular counts of live and dead tuples and the time taken for the table rebuild proper. There's still no logging about the ensuing index rebuilds, though. Itagaki Takahiro
* Eliminate some repetitive coding in tuplesort.c.Tom Lane2010-10-07
| | | | | | Use a macro LogicalTapeReadExact() to encapsulate the error check when we want to read an exact number of bytes from a "tape". Per a suggestion of Takahiro Itagaki.
* Teach CLUSTER to use seqscan-and-sort when it's faster than indexscan.Tom Lane2010-10-07
| | | | | | ... or at least, when the planner's cost estimates say it will be faster. Leonardo Francalanci, reviewed by Itagaki Takahiro and Tom Lane
* Reduce the memory requirement for large ispell dictionaries.Tom Lane2010-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates per-chunk palloc overhead for most small allocations needed in the representation of an ispell dictionary. This saves close to a factor of 2 on the current Czech ispell data. While it doesn't cover every last small allocation in the ispell code, we are at the point of diminishing returns, because about 95% of the allocations are covered already. Pavel Stehule, rather heavily revised by Tom
* Clean up temporary-memory management during ispell dictionary loading.Tom Lane2010-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | Add explicit initialization and cleanup functions to spell.c, and keep all working state in the already-existing ISpellDict struct. This lets us get rid of a static variable along with some extremely shaky assumptions about usage of child memory contexts. This commit is just code beautification and has no impact on functionality or performance, but it opens the way to a less-grotty implementation of Pavel's memory-saving hack, which will follow shortly.
* Behave correctly if INSERT ... VALUES is decorated with additional clauses.Tom Lane2010-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | In versions 8.2 and up, the grammar allows attaching ORDER BY, LIMIT, FOR UPDATE, or WITH to VALUES, and hence to INSERT ... VALUES. But the special-case code for VALUES in transformInsertStmt() wasn't expecting any of those, and just ignored them, leading to unexpected results. Rather than complicate the special-case path, just ensure that the presence of any of those clauses makes us treat the query as if it had a general SELECT. Per report from Hitoshi Harada.
* Remove excess argument to open(2).Tom Lane2010-10-02
| | | | | | | Many compilers don't complain about this, but some do, and it's certainly wrong. Back-patch to 8.4 where the error was introduced. Mark Kirkwood
* Throw an appropriate error if ALTER COLUMN TYPE finds a dependent trigger.Tom Lane2010-10-02
| | | | | | | | | Actually making this case work, if the column is used in the trigger's WHEN condition, will take some new code that probably isn't appropriate to back-patch. For now, just throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error rather than allowing control to reach the "unexpected object" case. Per bug #5688 from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where the possibility of such a dependency was introduced.
