* Create contrib/bool_plperl to provide a bool transform for PL/Perl[U].Tom Lane2020-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | plperl's default handling of bool arguments or results is not terribly satisfactory, since Perl doesn't consider the string 'f' to be false. Ideally we'd just fix that, but the backwards-compatibility hazard would be substantial. Instead, build a TRANSFORM module that can be optionally applied to provide saner semantics. Perhaps usefully, this is also about the minimum possible skeletal example of a plperl transform module; so it might be a better starting point for user-written transform modules than hstore_plperl or jsonb_plperl.

* Allow Unicode escapes in any server encoding, not only UTF-8.Tom Lane2020-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SQL includes provisions for numeric Unicode escapes in string literals and identifiers. Previously we only accepted those if they represented ASCII characters or the server encoding was UTF-8, making the conversion to internal form trivial. This patch adjusts things so that we'll call the appropriate encoding conversion function in less-trivial cases, allowing the escape sequence to be accepted so long as it corresponds to some character available in the server encoding. This also applies to processing of Unicode escapes in JSONB. However, the old restriction still applies to client-side JSON processing, since that hasn't got access to the server's encoding conversion infrastructure. This patch includes some lexer infrastructure that simplifies throwing errors with error cursors pointing into the middle of a string (or other complex token). For the moment I only used it for errors relating to Unicode escapes, but we might later expand the usage to some other cases. Patch by me, reviewed by John Naylor.

* Allow ALTER TYPE to change some properties of a base type.Tom Lane2020-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Specifically, this patch allows ALTER TYPE to: * Change the default TOAST strategy for a toastable base type; * Promote a non-toastable type to toastable; * Add/remove binary I/O functions for a type; * Add/remove typmod I/O functions for a type; * Add/remove a custom ANALYZE statistics functions for a type. The first of these can be done by the type's owner; all the others require superuser privilege since misuse could cause problems. The main motivation for this patch is to allow extensions to upgrade the feature sets of their data types, so the set of alterable properties is biased towards that use-case. However it's also true that changing some other properties would be a lot harder, as they get baked into physical storage and/or stored expressions that depend on the type. Along the way, refactor GenerateTypeDependencies() to make it easier to call, refactor DefineType's volatility checks so they can be shared by AlterType, and teach typcache.c that it might have to reload data from the type's pg_type row, a scenario it never handled before. Also rearrange alter_type.sgml a bit for clarity (put the composite-type operations together). Tomas Vondra and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200228004440.b23ein4qvmxnlpht@development

* Remove the "opaque" pseudo-type and associated compatibility hacks.Tom Lane2020-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A long time ago, it was necessary to declare datatype I/O functions, triggers, and language handler support functions in a very type-unsafe way involving a single pseudo-type "opaque". We got rid of those conventions in 7.3, but there was still support in various places to automatically convert such functions to the modern declaration style, to be able to transparently re-load dumps from pre-7.3 servers. It seems unnecessary to continue to support that anymore, so take out the hacks; whereupon the "opaque" pseudo-type itself is no longer needed and can be dropped. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files. Since we've had few complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0 servers (commit 64f3524e2), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.

* Remove ancient hacks to ignore certain opclass names in CREATE INDEX.Tom Lane2020-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Twenty years ago, we removed certain operator classes in favor of letting indexes over their data types be built with some other binary-compatible, more standard opclass. As a hack to allow existing index definitions to be dumped and reloaded, we made CREATE INDEX ignore the removed opclass names, so that such indexes would fall back to the new default opclass for their data types. This was never intended to be a long-lived thing; it carries the obvious risk of breaking some future developer's attempt to re-use those old opclass names. Since all of the cases in question are for opclasses that were removed before PG 8.0, it seems okay to get rid of these hacks now.

* Remove ancient support for upgrading pre-7.3 foreign key constraints.Tom Lane2020-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before 7.3, foreign key constraints had no explicit catalog representation, so that what pg_dump produced for them was (usually) a set of three CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER commands. Commit a2899ebdc and some follow-on fixes added an ugly hack in CreateTrigger() to recognize that pattern and reconstruct the foreign key definition. However, we've never had any test coverage for that code, so that it's legitimate to wonder if it still works; and having to maintain it in the face of upcoming trigger-related patches seems rather pointless. Let's decree that its time has passed, and drop it. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files. Since we've had few complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0 servers (commit 64f3524e2), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.

* Fix issues around .pgpass file.Fujii Masao2020-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit fixes the following two issues around .pgpass file. (1) If the length of a line in .pgpass file was larger than 319B, libpq silently treated each 319B in the line as a separate setting line. (2) The document explains that a line beginning with # is treated as a comment in .pgpass. But there was no code doing such special handling. Whether a line begins with # or not, libpq just checked that the first token in the line match with the host. For (1), this commit makes libpq warn if the length of a line is larger than 319B, and throw away the remaining part beginning from 320B position. For (2), this commit changes libpq so that it treats any lines beginning with # as comments.

* Fix more issues with dependency handling at swap phase of REINDEX CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2020-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When canceling a REINDEX CONCURRENTLY operation after swapping is done, a drop of the parent table would leave behind old indexes. This is a consequence of 68ac9cf, which fixed the case of pg_depend bloat when repeating REINDEX CONCURRENTLY on the same relation. In order to take care of the problem without breaking the previous fix, this uses a different strategy, possible even with the exiting set of routines to handle dependency changes. The dependencies of/on the new index are additionally switched to the old one, allowing an old invalid index remaining around because of a cancellation or a failure to use the dependency links of the concurrently-created index. This ensures that dropping any objects the old invalid index depends on also drops the old index automatically.

* Extend ExecBuildAggTrans() to support a NULL pointer check.Jeff Davis2020-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optionally push a step to check for a NULL pointer to the pergroup state. This will be important for disk-based hash aggregation in combination with grouping sets. When memory limits are reached, a given tuple may find its per-group state for some grouping sets but not others. For the former, it advances the per-group state as normal; for the latter, it skips evaluation and the calling code will have to spill the tuple and reprocess it in a later batch. Add the NULL check as a separate expression step because in some common cases it's not needed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200221202212.ssb2qpmdgrnx52sj%40alap3.anarazel.de
* Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.Tom Lane2020-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants, in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never too late to make it better though, so let's do that. The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch. But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability, so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation. I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers over time. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16457.1583189537@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Allow to_date/to_timestamp to recognize non-English month/day names.Tom Lane2020-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to_char() has long allowed the TM (translation mode) prefix to specify output of translated month or day names; but that prefix had no effect in input format strings. Now it does. to_date() and to_timestamp() will now recognize the same month or day names that to_char() would output for the same format code. Matching is case-insensitive (per the active collation's notion of what that means), just as it has always been for English month/day names without the TM prefix. (As per the discussion thread, there are lots of cases that this feature will not handle, such as alternate day names. But being able to accept what to_char() will output seems useful enough.) In passing, fix some shaky English and violations of message style guidelines in jsonpath errors for the .datetime() method, which depends on this code.

* Fix assertion failure with ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION and indexesMichael Paquier2020-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION causes an assertion failure when attempting to work on a partitioned index, because partitioned indexes cannot have partition bounds. The grammar of ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION requires partition bounds, but not ALTER INDEX, so mixing ALTER TABLE with partitioned indexes is confusing. Hence, on HEAD, prevent ALTER TABLE to attach a partition if the relation involved is a partitioned index. On back-branches, as applications may rely on the existing behavior, just remove the culprit assertion.

* Represent command completion tags as structsAlvaro Herrera2020-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful. Create a new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource managers. The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a CommandTagBehavior struct. Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information about completed queries in a cstring. Only at the last moment, in EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string. EventTriggerCacheItem no longer holds an array of palloc’d tag strings in sorted order, but rather just a Bitmapset over the CommandTags.

This fix allows to detect automatically if the environment is compatible with VT100. Hence, PG_COLOR=auto is able to detect and handle both compatible and non-compatible environments. The behavior of PG_COLOR=always remains unchanged, as it enforces the use of colorized output even if the environment does not allow it. This fix is based on an initial suggestion from Thomas Munro.

* Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric ln().Dean Rasheed2020-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deciding on the local rscale to use for the Taylor series expansion, ln_var() neglected to account for the fact that the result is subsequently multiplied by a factor of 2^(nsqrt+1), where nsqrt is the number of square root operations performed in the range reduction step, which can be as high as 22 for very large inputs. This could result in a loss of precision, particularly when combined with large rscale values, for which a large number of Taylor series terms is required (up to around 400). Fix by computing a few extra digits in the Taylor series, based on the weight of the multiplicative factor log10(2^(nsqrt+1)). It remains to be proven whether or not the other 8 extra digits used for the Taylor series is appropriate, but this at least deals with the obvious oversight of failing to account for the effects of the final multiplication.

* Avoid failure if autovacuum tries to access a just-dropped temp namespace.Tom Lane2020-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Such an access became possible when commit 246a6c8f7 added more aggressive cleanup of orphaned temp relations by autovacuum. Since autovacuum's snapshot might be slightly stale, it could attempt to access an already-dropped temp namespace, resulting in an assertion failure or null-pointer dereference. (In practice, since we don't drop temp namespaces automatically but merely recycle them, this situation could only arise if a superuser does a manual drop of a temp namespace. Still, that should be allowed.) The core of the bug, IMO, is that isTempNamespaceInUse and its callers failed to think hard about whether to treat "temp namespace isn't there" differently from "temp namespace isn't in use". In hopes of forestalling future mistakes of the same ilk, replace that function with a new one checkTempNamespaceStatus, which makes the same tests but returns a three-way enum rather than just a bool. isTempNamespaceInUse is gone entirely in HEAD; but just in case some external code is relying on it, keep it in the back branches, as a bug-compatible wrapper around the new function. Per report originally from Prabhat Kumar Sahu, investigated by Mahendra Singh and Michael Paquier; the final form of the patch is my fault. This replaces the failed fix attempt in a052f6cbb.

Perhaps an argument can be made for keeping the hashutils.h name, but it seemed more consistent to make it match the name of the file, and also more descriptive of what is actually going on here. Patch by me, reviewed by Suraj Kharage and Mark Dilger. Off-list advice on how not to break the Windows build from Davinder Singh and Amit Kapila.

* Suppress unnecessary RelabelType nodes in more cases.Tom Lane2020-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | eval_const_expressions sometimes produced RelabelType nodes that were useless because they just relabeled an expression to the same exposed type it already had. This is worth avoiding because it can cause two equivalent expressions to not be equal(), preventing recognition of useful optimizations. In the test case added here, an unpatched planner fails to notice that the "sqli = constant" clause renders a sort step unnecessary, because one code path produces an extra RelabelType and another doesn't. Fix by ensuring that eval_const_expressions_mutator's T_RelabelType case will not add in an unnecessary RelabelType. Also save some code by sharing a subroutine with the effectively-equivalent cases for CollateExpr and CoerceToDomain. (CollateExpr had no bug, and I think that the case couldn't arise with CoerceToDomain, but it seems prudent to do the same check for all three cases.) Back-patch to v12. In principle this has been wrong all along, but I haven't seen a case where it causes visible misbehavior before v12, so refrain from changing stable branches unnecessarily. Per investigation of a report from Eric Gillum. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMmjdmvAZsUEskHYj=KT9sTukVVCiCSoe_PBKOXsncFeAUDPCQ@mail.gmail.com

* Add deduplication to nbtree.Peter Geoghegan2020-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deduplication reduces the storage overhead of duplicates in indexes that use the standard nbtree index access method. The deduplication process is applied lazily, after the point where opportunistic deletion of LP_DEAD-marked index tuples occurs. Deduplication is only applied at the point where a leaf page split would otherwise be required. New posting list tuples are formed by merging together existing duplicate tuples. The physical representation of the items on an nbtree leaf page is made more space efficient by deduplication, but the logical contents of the page are not changed. Even unique indexes make use of deduplication as a way of controlling bloat from duplicates whose TIDs point to different versions of the same logical table row. The lazy approach taken by nbtree has significant advantages over a GIN style eager approach. Most individual inserts of index tuples have exactly the same overhead as before. The extra overhead of deduplication is amortized across insertions, just like the overhead of page splits. The key space of indexes works in the same way as it has since commit dd299df8 (the commit that made heap TID a tiebreaker column). Testing has shown that nbtree deduplication can generally make indexes with about 10 or 15 tuples for each distinct key value about 2.5X - 4X smaller, even with single column integer indexes (e.g., an index on a referencing column that accompanies a foreign key). The final size of single column nbtree indexes comes close to the final size of a similar contrib/btree_gin index, at least in cases where GIN's posting list compression isn't very effective. This can significantly improve transaction throughput, and significantly reduce the cost of vacuuming indexes. A new index storage parameter (deduplicate_items) controls the use of deduplication. The default setting is 'on', so all new B-Tree indexes automatically use deduplication where possible. This decision will be reviewed at the end of the Postgres 13 beta period. There is a regression of approximately 2% of transaction throughput with synthetic workloads that consist of append-only inserts into a table with several non-unique indexes, where all indexes have few or no repeated values. The underlying issue is that cycles are wasted on unsuccessful attempts at deduplicating items in non-unique indexes. There doesn't seem to be a way around it short of disabling deduplication entirely. Note that deduplication of items in unique indexes is fairly well targeted in general, which avoids the problem there (we can use a special heuristic to trigger deduplication passes in unique indexes, since we're specifically targeting "version bloat"). Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_vacuum changed. No bump in BTREE_VERSION, since the representation of posting list tuples works in a way that's backwards compatible with version 4 indexes (i.e. indexes built on PostgreSQL 12). However, users must still REINDEX a pg_upgrade'd index to use deduplication, regardless of the Postgres version they've upgraded from. This is the only way to set the new nbtree metapage flag indicating that deduplication is generally safe.

* Add equalimage B-Tree support functions.Peter Geoghegan2020-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Invent the concept of a B-Tree equalimage ("equality implies image equality") support function, registered as support function 4. This indicates whether it is safe (or not safe) to apply optimizations that assume that any two datums considered equal by an operator class's order method must be interchangeable without any loss of semantic information. This is static information about an operator class and a collation. Register an equalimage routine for almost all of the existing B-Tree opclasses. We only need two trivial routines for all of the opclasses that are included with the core distribution. There is one routine for opclasses that index non-collatable types (which returns 'true' unconditionally), plus another routine for collatable types (which returns 'true' when the collation is a deterministic collation). This patch is infrastructure for an upcoming patch that adds B-Tree deduplication.
