* Fix matching of boolean index columns to sort ordering.Tom Lane2017-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, if we have a WHERE clause like "indexcol = constant", the planner will figure out that that index column can be ignored when determining whether the index has a desired sort ordering. But this failed to work for boolean index columns, because a condition like "boolcol = true" is canonicalized to just "boolcol" which does not give rise to an EquivalenceClass. Add a check to allow the same type of deduction to be made in this case too. Per a complaint from Dima Pavlov. Arguably this is a bug, but given the limited impact and the small number of complaints so far, I won't risk destabilizing plans in stable branches by back-patching.

* Change representation of statement lists, and add statement location info.Tom Lane2017-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes several changes that improve the consistency of representation of lists of statements. It's always been the case that the output of parse analysis is a list of Query nodes, whatever the types of the individual statements in the list. This patch brings similar consistency to the outputs of raw parsing and planning steps: * The output of raw parsing is now always a list of RawStmt nodes; the statement-type-dependent nodes are one level down from that. * The output of pg_plan_queries() is now always a list of PlannedStmt nodes, even for utility statements. In the case of a utility statement, "planning" just consists of wrapping a CMD_UTILITY PlannedStmt around the utility node. This list representation is now used in Portal and CachedPlan plan lists, replacing the former convention of intermixing PlannedStmts with bare utility-statement nodes. Now, every list of statements has a consistent head-node type depending on how far along it is in processing. This allows changing many places that formerly used generic "Node *" pointers to use a more specific pointer type, thus reducing the number of IsA() tests and casts needed, as well as improving code clarity. Also, the post-parse-analysis representation of DECLARE CURSOR is changed so that it looks more like EXPLAIN, PREPARE, etc. That is, the contained SELECT remains a child of the DeclareCursorStmt rather than getting flipped around to be the other way. It's now true for both Query and PlannedStmt that utilityStmt is non-null if and only if commandType is CMD_UTILITY. That allows simplifying a lot of places that were testing both fields. (I think some of those were just defensive programming, but in many places, it was actually necessary to avoid confusing DECLARE CURSOR with SELECT.) Because PlannedStmt carries a canSetTag field, we're also able to get rid of some ad-hoc rules about how to reconstruct canSetTag for a bare utility statement; specifically, the assumption that a utility is canSetTag if and only if it's the only one in its list. While I see no near-term need for relaxing that restriction, it's nice to get rid of the ad-hocery. The API of ProcessUtility() is changed so that what it's passed is the wrapper PlannedStmt not just the bare utility statement. This will affect all users of ProcessUtility_hook, but the changes are pretty trivial; see the affected contrib modules for examples of the minimum change needed. (Most compilers should give pointer-type-mismatch warnings for uncorrected code.) There's also a change in the API of ExplainOneQuery_hook, to pass through cursorOptions instead of expecting hook functions to know what to pick. This is needed because of the DECLARE CURSOR changes, but really should have been done in 9.6; it's unlikely that any extant hook functions know about using CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK. Finally, teach gram.y to save statement boundary locations in RawStmt nodes, and pass those through to Query and PlannedStmt nodes. This allows more intelligent handling of cases where a source query string contains multiple statements. This patch doesn't actually do anything with the information, but a follow-on patch will. (Passing this information through cleanly is the true motivation for these changes; while I think this is all good cleanup, it's unlikely we'd have bothered without this end goal.) catversion bump because addition of location fields to struct Query affects stored rules. This patch is by me, but it owes a good deal to Fabien Coelho who did a lot of preliminary work on the problem, and also reviewed the patch.

* Throw suitable error for COPY TO STDOUT/FROM STDIN in a SQL function.Tom Lane2017-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A client copy can't work inside a function because the FE/BE wire protocol doesn't support nesting of a COPY operation within query results. (Maybe it could, but the protocol spec doesn't suggest that clients should support this, and libpq for one certainly doesn't.) In most PLs, this prohibition is enforced by spi.c, but SQL functions don't use SPI. A comparison of _SPI_execute_plan() and init_execution_state() shows that rejecting client COPY is the only discrepancy in what they allow, so there's no other similar bugs. This is an astonishingly ancient oversight, so back-patch to all supported branches. Report: https://postgr.es/m/BY2PR05MB2309EABA3DEFA0143F50F0D593780@BY2PR05MB2309.namprd05.prod.outlook.com

* In PL/Tcl tests, don't choke if optional error fields are missing.Tom Lane2017-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a portability issue introduced by commit 961bed020: with a compiler that doesn't support PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO, the "funcname" field of errorCode won't be provided, leading to a failure of the unset command. I added -nocomplain to the unset commands for filename and lineno too, just in case, though I know of no platform that wouldn't populate those fields. (BTW, -nocomplain is new in Tcl 8.4, but fortunately we dropped support for pre-8.4 Tcl some time ago.) Per buildfarm member pademelon.
* pg_upgrade: Fix for changed pg_ctl default stop modePeter Eisentraut2017-01-13
| | | | | | | | In 9.5, the default pg_ctl stop mode was changed from "smart" to "fast". pg_upgrade still thought the default mode was "smart" and only specified the mode when "fast" was asked for. This results in using "fast" all the time. It's not clear what the effect in practice is, but fix it nonetheless to restore the previous behavior.
* Fix a bug in how we generate partition constraints.Robert Haas2017-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the code for doing parent attnos to child attnos mapping for Vars in partition constraint expressions to a separate function map_partition_varattnos() and call it from the appropriate places. Doing it in get_qual_from_partbound(), as is now, would produce wrong result in certain multi-level partitioning cases, because it only considers the current pair of parent-child relations. In certain multi-level partitioning cases, attnums for the same key attribute(s) might differ between various levels causing the same attribute to be numbered differently in different instances of the Var corresponding to a given attribute. With this commit, in generate_partition_qual(), we first generate the the whole partition constraint (considering all levels of partitioning) and then do the mapping, so that Vars in the final expression are numbered according the leaf relation (to which it is supposed to apply).

* Fix cardinality estimates for parallel joins.Robert Haas2017-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a partial path, the cardinality estimate needs to reflect the number of rows we think each worker will see, rather than the total number of rows; otherwise, costing will go wrong. The previous coding got this completely wrong for parallel joins. Unfortunately, this change may destabilize plans for users of 9.6 who have enabled parallel query, but since 9.6 is still fairly new I'm hoping expectations won't be too settled yet. Also, this is really a brown-paper-bag bug, so leaving it unfixed for the entire lifetime of 9.6 seems unwise.

* pg_restore: Don't allow non-positive number of jobsStephen Frost2017-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_restore will currently accept invalid values for the number of parallel jobs to run (eg: -1), unlike pg_dump which does check that the value provided is reasonable. Worse, '-1' is actually a valid, independent, parameter (as an alias for --single-transaction), leading to potentially completely unexpected results from a command line such as: -> pg_restore -j -1 Where a user would get neither parallel jobs nor a single-transaction. Add in validity checking of the parallel jobs option, as we already have in pg_dump, before we try to open up the archive. Also move the check that we haven't been asked to run more parallel jobs than possible on Windows to the same place, so we do all the option validity checking before opening the archive. Back-patch all the way, though for 9.2 we're adding the Windows-specific check against MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS as that check wasn't back-patched originally.

* Fix ALTER TABLE / SET TYPE for irregular inheritanceAlvaro Herrera2017-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If inherited tables don't have exactly the same schema, the USING clause in an ALTER TABLE / SET DATA TYPE misbehaves when applied to the children tables since commit 9550e8348b79. Starting with that commit, the attribute numbers in the USING expression are fixed during parse analysis. This can lead to bogus errors being reported during execution, such as: ERROR: attribute 2 has wrong type DETAIL: Table has type smallint, but query expects integer. Since it wouldn't do to revert to the original coding, we now apply a transformation to map the attribute numbers to the correct ones for each child.

* BRIN revmap pages are not standard pages ...Alvaro Herrera2017-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... and therefore we ought not to tell XLogRegisterBuffer the opposite, when writing XLog for a brin update that moves the index tuple to a different page. Otherwise, xlog insertion would try to "compress the hole" when producing a full-page image for it; but since we don't update pd_lower/upper, the hole covers the whole page. On WAL replay, the revmap page becomes empty and so the entire portion of the index is useless and needs to be recomputed. This is low-probability: a BRIN update only moves an index tuple to a different page when the summary tuple is larger than the existing one, which doesn't happen with fixed-width datatypes. Also, the revmap page must be first after a checkpoint. Report and patch: Kuntal Ghosh Bug is alleged to have detected by a WAL-consistency-checking tool. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAGz5QCJ=00UQjScSEFbV=0qO5ShTZB9WWz_Fm7+Wd83zPs9Geg@mail.gmail.com I posted a test case demonstrating the problem, but I'm refraining from adding it to the test suite; if the WAL consistency tool makes it in, that will be a better way to catch this from regressing.

* Get rid of ParseState.p_value_substitute; use a columnref hook instead.Tom Lane2017-01-07

* Invalidate cached plans on FDW option changes.Tom Lane2017-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes problems where a plan must change but fails to do so, as seen in a bug report from Rajkumar Raghuwanshi. For ALTER FOREIGN TABLE OPTIONS, do this through the standard method of forcing a relcache flush on the table. For ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER and ALTER SERVER, just flush the whole plan cache on any change in pg_foreign_data_wrapper or pg_foreign_server. That matches the way we handle some other low-probability cases such as opclass changes, and it's unclear that the case arises often enough to be worth working harder. Besides, that gives a patch that is simple enough to back-patch with confidence. Back-patch to 9.3. In principle we could apply the code change to 9.2 as well, but (a) we lack postgres_fdw to test it with, (b) it's doubtful that anyone is doing anything exciting enough with FDWs that far back to need this desperately, and (c) the patch doesn't apply cleanly.

* Prefer int-wide pg_atomic_flag over char-wide when using gcc intrinsics.Tom Lane2017-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | configure can only probe the existence of gcc intrinsics, not how well they're implemented, and unfortunately the answer is sometimes "badly". In particular we've found that multiple compilers fail to implement char-width __sync_lock_test_and_set() correctly on PPC; and even a correct implementation would necessarily be pretty inefficient, since that hardware has only a word-wide primitive to work with. Given the knowledge we've accumulated in s_lock.h, it appears that it's best to rely on int-width TAS operations on most non-Intel architectures. Hence, pick int not char when both are nominally available to us in generic-gcc.h (note that that code is not used for x86[_64]). Back-patch to fix regression test failures on FreeBSD/PPC. Ordinarily back-patching a change like this would be verboten because of ABI breakage. But since pg_atomic_flag is not yet used in any Postgres data structure, there's no ABI to break. It seems safer to back-patch to avoid possible gotchas, if someday we do back-patch something that uses pg_atomic_flag. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/25414.1483076673@sss.pgh.pa.us
