* Convert eval_const_expressions's long series of IsA tests into a switch.Tom Lane2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | This function has now grown enough cases that a switch seems appropriate. This results in a measurable speed improvement on some platforms, and should certainly not hurt. The code's in need of a pgindent run now, though. Andres Freund
* Fix some bogosities in pg_dump's foreign-table support.Tom Lane2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | The server name for a foreign table was not quoted at need, as per report from Ronan Dunklau. Also, queries related to FDW options were inadequately schema-qualified in places where the search path isn't just pg_catalog, and were inconsistently formatted everywhere, and we didn't always check that we got the expected number of rows from them.
* Add libpq connection option to disable SSL compressionMagnus Hagander2011-11-28
| | | | | | | This can be used to remove the overhead of SSL compression on fast networks. Laurenz Albe
* Ensure that whole-row junk Vars are always of composite type.Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.) To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases. This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared. In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example: regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x; ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function
* Make pg_dumpall build with the right object files under MSVC.Andrew Dunstan2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | This fixes a longstanding but up to now benign bug in the way pg_dumpall was built. The bug was exposed by recent code adjustments. The Makefile does not use $(OBJS) to build pg_dumpall, so this fix removes their source files from the pg_dumpall object and adds in the one source file it consequently needs.
* Use IEEE infinity, not 1e10, for null-and-not-null case in gistpenalty().Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | Use of a randomly chosen large value was never exactly graceful, and now that there are penalty functions that are intentionally using infinity, it doesn't seem like a good idea for null-vs-not-null to be using something less.
* Improve GiST range-contained-by searches by adding a flag for empty ranges.Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the original implementation, a range-contained-by search had to scan the entire index because an empty range could be lurking anywhere. Improve that by adding a flag to upper GiST entries that says whether the represented subtree contains any empty ranges. Also, make a simple mod to the penalty function to discourage empty ranges from getting pushed into subtrees without any. This needs more work, and the picksplit function should be taught about it too, but that code can be improved without causing an on-disk compatibility break; so we'll leave it for another day. Since we're breaking on-disk compatibility of range values anyway, I took the opportunity to reorganize the range flags bits; the unused RANGE_xB_NULL bits are now adjacent, which might open the door for using them in some other way later. In passing, remove the GiST range opclass entry for <>, which doesn't seem like it can really be indexed usefully. Alexander Korotkov, with some editorializing by Tom
* Add pg_upgrade test suitePeter Eisentraut2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | It runs the regression tests, runs pg_upgrade on the populated database, and compares the before and after dumps. While not actually a cross-version upgrade, this does detect omissions and bugs in the involved tools from time to time. It's also possible to do a cross-version upgrade by manually supplying parameters.
* Use the proper macro to convert a bool to a Datum.Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding was var->value = (Datum) state; which is bogus, and then in commit 2f0f7b4bce13e68394543728801ef011fd82fac6 it was "corrected" to var->value = PointerGetDatum(state); which is a faithful translation but still wrong. This seems purely cosmetic, though, so no need for a back-patch. Pavel Stehule

* Make GiST index searches smarter about queries against empty ranges.Tom Lane2011-11-26
| | | | | | | In the cases where the result of the called proc is negated, we should explicitly test both inputs for empty, to ensure we'll never return "true" for an unsatisfiable query. In other cases we can rely on the called proc to say the right thing.
* Ensure plperl strings are always correctly UTF8 encoded.Andrew Dunstan2011-11-26

* Fix unvalidated check constraints on domains, tooAlvaro Herrera2011-11-25
| | | | | | | | | Same bug as reported by Thom Brown for check constraints on tables: the constraint must be dumped separately from the domain, otherwise it is restored before the data and thus prevents potentially-violating data from being loaded in the first place. Per Dean Rasheed

* Improve logging of autovacuum I/O activityAlvaro Herrera2011-11-25
| | | | | | | | | This adds some I/O stats to the logging of autovacuum (when the operation takes long enough that log_autovacuum_min_duration causes it to be logged), so that it is easier to tune. Notably, it adds buffer I/O counts (hits, misses, dirtied) and read and write rate. Authors: Greg Smith and Noah Misch
* Fix erroneous replay of GIN_UPDATE_META_PAGE WAL records.Tom Lane2011-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A simple thinko in ginRedoUpdateMetapage, namely failing to increment a loop counter, led to inserting records into the last pending-list page in the wrong order (the opposite of that intended). So far as I can tell, this would not upset the code that eventually flushes pending items into the main part of the GIN index. But it did break the code that searched the pending list for matches, resulting in transient failure to find matching entries during index lookups, as illustrated in bug #6307 from Maksym Boguk. Back-patch to 8.4 where the incorrect code was introduced.
* Move "hot" members of PGPROC into a separate PGXACT array.Robert Haas2011-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | This speeds up snapshot-taking and reduces ProcArrayLock contention. Also, the PGPROC (and PGXACT) structures used by two-phase commit are now allocated as part of the main array, rather than in a separate array, and we keep ProcArray sorted in pointer order. These changes are intended to minimize the number of cache lines that must be pulled in to take a snapshot, and testing shows a substantial increase in performance on both read and write workloads at high concurrencies. Pavan Deolasee, Heikki Linnakangas, Robert Haas
* Fix unsupported options in CREATE TABLE ... AS EXECUTE.Tom Lane2011-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | The WITH [NO] DATA option was not supported, nor the ability to specify replacement column names; the former limitation wasn't even documented, as per recent complaint from Naoya Anzai. Fix by moving the responsibility for supporting these options into the executor. It actually takes less code this way ... catversion bump due to change in representation of IntoClause, which might affect stored rules.
* Dump an unvalidated constraint separately from its tableAlvaro Herrera2011-11-24
| | | | | | | This allows possibly violating data to be imported before the constraint is installed. Bug reported by Thom Brown
* Preserve SQLSTATE when an SPI error is propagated through PL/pythonHeikki Linnakangas2011-11-24
| | | | | | | exception handler. This was a regression in 9.1, when the capability to catch specific SPI errors was added, so backpatch to 9.1. Mika Eloranta, with some editing by Jan Urbański.
* Adjust range_adjacent to support different canonicalization rules.Tom Lane2011-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | The original coding would not work for discrete ranges in which the canonicalization rule is to produce symmetric boundaries (either [] or () style), as noted by Jeff Davis. Florian Pflug pointed out that we could fix that by invoking the canonicalization function to see if the range "between" the two given ranges normalizes to empty. This implementation of Florian's idea is a tad slower than the original code, but only in the case where there actually is a canonicalization function --- if not, it's essentially the same logic as before.
* Creator of a range type must have permission to call support functions.Tom Lane2011-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since range types can be created by non-superusers, we need to consider their permissions. Ideally we'd check this when the type is used, not when it's created, but that seems like much more trouble than it's worth. The existing restriction that the support functions be immutable already prevents most cases where an unauthorized call to a function might be thought a security issue, and the fact that the user has no access to the results of the system's calls to subtype_diff closes off the other plausible reason for concern. So this check is basically pro-forma, but let's make it anyway.
* Remove user-selectable ANALYZE option for range types.Tom Lane2011-11-23
| | | | | | | | | It's not clear that a per-datatype typanalyze function would be any more useful than a generic typanalyze for ranges. What *is* clear is that letting unprivileged users select typanalyze functions is a crash risk or worse. So remove the option from CREATE TYPE AS RANGE, and instead put in a generic typanalyze function for ranges. The generic function does nothing as yet, but hopefully we'll improve that before 9.2 release.
* Remove zero- and one-argument range constructor functions.Tom Lane2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, the zero-argument forms aren't really worth the catalog space (just write 'empty' instead). The one-argument forms have some use, but they also have a serious problem with looking too much like functional cast notation; to the point where in many real use-cases, the parser would misinterpret what was wanted. Committing this as a separate patch, with the thought that we might want to revert part or all of it if we can think of some way around the cast ambiguity.
* Improve implementation of range-contains-element tests.Tom Lane2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implement these tests directly instead of constructing a singleton range and then applying range-contains. This saves a range serialize/deserialize cycle as well as a couple of redundant bound-comparison steps, and adds very little code on net. Remove elem_contained_by_range from the GiST opclass: it doesn't belong there because there is no way to use it in an index clause (where the indexed column would have to be on the left). Its commutator is in the opclass, and that's what counts.
* Check for INSERT privileges in SELECT INTO / CREATE TABLE AS.Robert Haas2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the normal course of events, this matters only if ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES has been used to revoke default INSERT permission. Whether or not the new behavior is more or less likely to be what the user wants when dealing only with the built-in privilege facilities is arguable, but it's clearly better when using a loadable module such as sepgsql that may use the hook in ExecCheckRTPerms to enforce additional permissions checks. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Albe Laurenz
* Still more review for range-types patch.Tom Lane2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, relax the range input/construction rules so that the only hard error is lower bound > upper bound. Cases where the lower bound is <= upper bound, but the range nonetheless normalizes to empty, are now permitted. Fix core dump in range_adjacent when bounds are infinite. Marginal cleanup of regression test cases, some more code commenting.
* Continue to allow VACUUM to mark last block of index dirtySimon Riggs2011-11-22
| | | | | even when there is no work to do. Further analysis required. Revert of patch c1458cc495ff800cd176a1c2e56d8b62680d9b71
* More code review for rangetypes patch.Tom Lane2011-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | Fix up some infelicitous coding in DefineRange, and add some missing error checks. Rearrange operator strategy number assignments for GiST anyrange opclass so that they don't make such a mess of opr_sanity's table of operator names associated with different strategy numbers. Assign hopefully-temporary selectivity estimators to range operators that didn't have one --- poor as the estimates are, they're still a lot better than the default 0.5 estimate, and they'll shut up the opr_sanity test that wants to see selectivity estimators on all built-in operators.
* Further code review for range types patch.Tom Lane2011-11-20
| | | | | Fix some bugs in coercion logic and pg_dump; more comment cleanup; minor cosmetic improvements.
* Avoid floating-point underflow while tracking buffer allocation rate.Tom Lane2011-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the system is idle for awhile after activity, the "smoothed_alloc" state variable in BgBufferSync converges slowly to zero. With standard IEEE float arithmetic this results in several iterations with denormalized values, which causes kernel traps and annoying log messages on some poorly-designed platforms. There's no real need to track such small values of smoothed_alloc, so we can prevent the kernel traps by forcing it to zero as soon as it's too small to be interesting for our purposes. This issue is purely cosmetic, since the iterations don't happen fast enough for the kernel traps to pose any meaningful performance problem, but still it seems worth shutting up the log messages. The kernel log messages were previously reported by a number of people, but kudos to Greg Matthews for tracking down exactly where they were coming from.
* Further review of range-types patch.Tom Lane2011-11-18
| | | | Lots of documentation cleanup today, and still more type_sanity tests.
* Avoid marking buffer dirty when VACUUM has no work to do.Simon Riggs2011-11-18
| | | | | | | When wal_level = 'hot_standby' we touched the last page of the relation during a VACUUM, even if nothing else had happened. That would alter the LSN of the last block and set the mtime of the relation file unnecessarily. Noted by Thom Brown.
* Do missed autoheader run for previous commit.Tom Lane2011-11-17

* Further consolidation of DROP statement handling.Robert Haas2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of an impressive amount of duplicative code, with only minimal behavior changes. DROP FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER now requires object ownership rather than superuser privileges, matching the documentation we already have. We also eliminate the historical warning about dropping a built-in function as unuseful. All operations are now performed in the same order for all object types handled by dropcmds.c. KaiGai Kohei, with minor revisions by me
* Declare range inclusion operators as taking anyelement not anynonarray.Tom Lane2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Use of anynonarray was a crude hack to get around ambiguity versus the array inclusion operators of the same names. My previous patch to extend the parser's type resolution heuristics makes that unnecessary, so use the more general declaration instead. This eliminates a wart that these operators couldn't be used with ranges over arrays, which are otherwise supported just fine. Also, mark range_before and range_after as commutator operators, per discussion with Jeff Davis.
* Extend the unknowns-are-same-as-known-inputs type resolution heuristic.Tom Lane2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For a very long time, one of the parser's heuristics for resolving ambiguous operator calls has been to assume that unknown-type literals are of the same type as the other input (if it's known). However, this was only used in the first step of quickly checking for an exact-types match, and thus did not help in resolving matches that require coercion, such as matches to polymorphic operators. As we add more polymorphic operators, this becomes more of a problem. This patch adds another use of the same heuristic as a last-ditch check before failing to resolve an ambiguous operator or function call. In particular this will let us define the range inclusion operator in a less limited way (to come in a follow-on patch).
* Fix range_cmp_bounds for the case of equal-valued exclusive bounds.Tom Lane2011-11-17
| | | | | | Also improve its comments and related regression tests. Jeff Davis, with some further adjustments by Tom
* Remove ancient downcasing code from procedural language operations.Robert Haas2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | A very long time ago, language names were specified as literals rather than identifiers, so this code was added to do case-folding. But that style has ben deprecated for many years so this isn't needed any more. Language names will still be downcased when specified as unquoted identifiers, but quoted identifiers or the old style using string literals will be left as-is.
* Restructure get_object_address() so it's safe against concurrent DDL.Robert Haas2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | This gives a much better error message when the object of interest is concurrently dropped and avoids needlessly failing when the object of interest is concurrently dropped and recreated. It also improves the behavior of two concurrent DROP IF EXISTS operations targeted at the same object; as before, one will drop the object, but now the other will emit the usual NOTICE indicating that the object does not exist, instead of rolling back. As a fringe benefit, it's also slightly less code.
* Applied Zoltan's patch to correctly align interval and timestamp data in ↵Michael Meskes2011-11-17
| | | | ecpg's sqlda.
* Code review for range-types catalog entries.Tom Lane2011-11-16
| | | | | | | Fix assorted infelicities, such as dependency on OIDs that aren't hardwired, as well as outright misdeclaration of daterange_canonical(), which resulted in crashes if you invoked it directly. Add some more regression tests to try to catch similar mistakes in future.
* Don't elide blank lines when accumulating psql command history.Robert Haas2011-11-15
| | | | | | | This can change the meaning of queries, if the blank line happens to occur in the middle of a quoted literal, as per complaint from Tomas Vondra. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Improve caching in range type I/O functions.Tom Lane2011-11-15
| | | | | Cache the the element type's I/O info across calls, not only the range type's info. In passing, also clean up hash_range a bit more.
