* Fix incorrect tests for undef Perl values in some places in plperl.c.Tom Lane2007-06-28
| | | | | | The correct test for defined-ness is SvOK(sv), not anything involving SvTYPE. Per bug #3415 from Matt Taylor. Back-patch as far as 8.0; no apparent problem in 7.x.
* In psql, when running a SELECT query using a cursor, flush the queryNeil Conway2007-06-22

* transformColumnDefinition failed to complain aboutTom Lane2007-06-20
| | | | | | create table foo (bar int default null default 3); due to not thinking about the special-case handling of DEFAULT NULL. Problem noticed while investigating bug #3396.
* CREATE DOMAIN ... DEFAULT NULL failed because gram.y special-cases DEFAULTTom Lane2007-06-20
| | | | | NULL and DefineDomain didn't. Bug goes all the way back to original coding of domains. Per bug #3396 from Sergey Burladyan.
* Avoid having autovacuum run multiple ANALYZE commands in a single transaction,Alvaro Herrera2007-06-14
| | | | to prevent possible deadlock problems. Per request from Tom Lane.
* Implement a chunking protocol for writes to the syslogger pipe, with messagesAndrew Dunstan2007-06-14
| | | | | | | | | reassembled in the syslogger before writing to the log file. This prevents partial messages from being written, which mucks up log rotation, and messages from different backends being interleaved, which causes garbled logs. Backport as far as 8.0, where the syslogger was introduced. Tom Lane and Andrew Dunstan
* Fix DecodeDateTime to allow timezone to appear before year. This hadTom Lane2007-06-12
| | | | | | historically worked in some but not all cases, but as of 8.2 it failed for all timezone formats. Fix, and add regression test cases to catch future regressions in this area. Per gripe from Adam Witney.
* Allow numeric_fac() to be interrupted, since it can take quite a while forTom Lane2007-06-09
| | | | | | large inputs. Also cause it to error out immediately if the result will overflow, instead of grinding through a lot of calculation first. Per gripe from Jim Nasby.

| | | | | Many thanks to Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@enterprisedb.com> for his sharp eyes.
* Fix bundle bugs of GIN:Teodor Sigaev2007-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Fix possible deadlock between UPDATE and VACUUM queries. Bug never was observed in 8.2, but it still exist there. HEAD is more sensitive to bug after recent "ring" of buffer improvements. - Fix WAL creation: if parent page is stored as is after split then incomplete split isn't removed during replay. This happens rather rare, only on large tables with a lot of updates/inserts. - Fix WAL replay: there was wrong test of XLR_BKP_BLOCK_* for left page after deletion of page. That causes wrong rightlink field: it pointed to deleted page. - add checking of match of clearing incomplete split - cleanup incomplete split list after proceeding All of this chages doesn't change on-disk storage, so backpatch... But second point may be an issue for replaying logs from previous version.
* On win32, retry reading when WSARecv returns WSAEWOULDBLOCK. There seemMagnus Hagander2007-06-04

* Fix aboriginal bug in BufFileDumpBuffer that would cause it to write theTom Lane2007-06-01
| | | | | | | | wrong data when dumping a bufferload that crosses a component-file boundary. This probably has not been seen in the wild because (a) component files are normally 1GB apiece and (b) non-block-aligned buffer usage is relatively rare. But it's fairly easy to reproduce a problem if one reduces RELSEG_SIZE in a test build. Kudos to Kurt Harriman for spotting the bug.
* Fix performance problems in multi-batch hash joins by ensuring that we selectTom Lane2007-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | a well-randomized batch number even when given a poorly-randomized hash value. This is a bit inefficient but seems the only practical solution given the constraint that we can't change the hash functions in released branches. Per report from Joseph Shraibman. Applied to 8.1 and 8.2 only --- HEAD is getting a cleaner fix, and 8.0 and before use different coding that seems less vulnerable.
* Fix overly-strict sanity check in BeginInternalSubTransaction that made itTom Lane2007-05-30
| | | | | | fail when used in a deferred trigger. Bug goes back to 8.0; no doubt the reason it hadn't been noticed is that we've been discouraging use of user-defined constraint triggers. Per report from Frank van Vugt.
* Fix a bug in input processing for the "interval" type. Previously,Neil Conway2007-05-29
| | | | | | | | "microsecond" and "millisecond" units were not considered valid input by themselves, which caused inputs like "1 millisecond" to be rejected erroneously. Update the docs, add regression tests, and backport to 8.2 and 8.1
* Repair planner bug introduced in 8.2 by ability to rearrange outer joins:Tom Lane2007-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in cases where a sub-SELECT inserts a WHERE clause between two outer joins, that clause may prevent us from re-ordering the two outer joins. The code was considering only the joins' own ON-conditions in determining reordering safety, which is not good enough. Add a "delay_upper_joins" flag to OuterJoinInfo to flag that we have detected such a clause and higher-level outer joins shouldn't be permitted to commute with this one. (This might seem overly coarse, but given the current rules for OJ reordering, it's sufficient AFAICT.) The failure case is actually pretty narrow: it needs a WHERE clause within the RHS of a left join that checks the RHS of a lower left join, but is not strict for that RHS (else we'd have simplified the lower join to a plain join). Even then no failure will be manifest unless the planner chooses to rearrange the join order. Per bug report from Adam Terrey.
* Fix best_inner_indexscan to return both the cheapest-total-cost andTom Lane2007-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | cheapest-startup-cost innerjoin indexscans, and make joinpath.c consider both of these (when different) as the inside of a nestloop join. The original design was based on the assumption that indexscan paths always have negligible startup cost, and so total cost is the only important figure of merit; an assumption that's obviously broken by bitmap indexscans. This oversight could lead to choosing poor plans in cases where fast-start behavior is more important than total cost, such as LIMIT and IN queries. 8.1-vintage brain fade exposed by an example from Chuck D.

* Remove redundant logging of send failures when SSL is in use. While pqcomm.cTom Lane2007-05-18
| | | | | | had been taught not to do that ages ago, the SSL code was helpfully bleating anyway. Resolves some recent reports such as bug #3266; however the underlying cause of the related bug #2829 is still unclear.
* Temporary fix for the problem that pg_stat_activity, inet_client_addr(),Tom Lane2007-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | and inet_server_addr() fail if the client connected over a "scoped" IPv6 address. In this case getnameinfo() will return a string ending with a poorly-standardized "%something" zone specifier, which these functions try to feed to network_in(), which won't take it. So that we don't lose functionality altogether, suppress the zone specifier before giving the string to network_in(). Per report from Brian Hirt. TODO: probably someday the inet type should support scoped IPv6 addresses, and then this patch should be reverted. Backpatch to 8.2 ... is it worth going further?
* Avoid emitting empty role names in the GRANTED BY clause of GRANT ROLEAlvaro Herrera2007-05-15
| | | | | when the grantor has been dropped. This is a workaround for the fact that we don't track the grantor as a shared dependency.
* Improve predicate_refuted_by_simple_clause() to handle IS NULL and IS NOT NULLTom Lane2007-05-12
| | | | | | | more completely. The motivation for having it understand IS NULL at all was to allow use of "foo IS NULL" as one of the subsets of a partitioning on "foo", but as reported by Aleksander Kmetec, it wasn't really getting the job done. Backpatch to 8.2 since this is arguably a performance bug.
* Fix my oversight in enabling domains-of-domains: ALTER DOMAIN ADD CONSTRAINTTom Lane2007-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | needs to check the new constraint against columns of derived domains too. Also, make it error out if the domain to be modified is used within any composite-type columns. Eventually we should support that case, but it seems a bit painful, and not suitable for a back-patch. For the moment just let the user know we can't do it. Backpatch to 8.2, which is the only released version that allows nested domains. Possibly the other part should be back-patched further.

* Fix a thinko in my patch of a couple months ago for bug #3116: it did theTom Lane2007-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | wrong thing when inlining polymorphic SQL functions, because it was using the function's declared return type where it should have used the actual result type of the current call. In 8.1 and 8.2 this causes obvious failures even if you don't have assertions turned on; in 8.0 and 7.4 it would only be a problem if the inlined expression were used as an input to a function that did run-time type determination on its inputs. Add a regression test, since this is evidently an under-tested area.

* Fix dynahash.c to suppress hash bucket splits while a hash_seq_search() scanTom Lane2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is in progress on the same hashtable. This seems the least invasive way to fix the recently-recognized problem that a split could cause the scan to visit entries twice or (with much lower probability) miss them entirely. The only field-reported problem caused by this is the "failed to re-find shared lock object" PANIC in COMMIT PREPARED reported by Michel Dorochevsky, which was caused by multiply visited entries. However, it seems certain that mdsync() is vulnerable to missing required fsync's due to missed entries, and I am fearful that RelationCacheInitializePhase2() might be at risk as well. Because of that and the generalized hazard presented by this bug, back-patch all the supported branches. Along the way, fix pg_prepared_statement() and pg_cursor() to not assume that the hashtables they are examining will stay static between calls. This is risky regardless of the newly noted dynahash problem, because hash_seq_search() has never promised to cope with deletion of table entries other than the just-returned one. There may be no bug here because the only supported way to call these functions is via ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() which will cycle them to completion before doing anything very interesting, but it seems best to get rid of the assumption. This affects 8.2 and HEAD only, since those functions weren't there earlier.

* Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within search_path.Tom Lane2007-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly secure value of search_path. Without it, a malicious user can use temporary objects to execute code with the privileges of the security-definer function. Even pushing the temp schema to the back of the search path is not quite good enough, because a function or operator at the back of the path might still capture control from one nearer the front due to having a more exact datatype match. Hence, disable searching the temp schema altogether for functions and operators. Security: CVE-2007-2138

* Repair PANIC condition in hash indexes when a previous index extension attemptTom Lane2007-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | failed (due to lock conflicts or out-of-space). We might have already extended the index's filesystem EOF before failing, causing the EOF to be beyond what the metapage says is the last used page. Hence the invariant maintained by the code needs to be "EOF is at or beyond last used page", not "EOF is exactly the last used page". Problem was created by my patch of 2006-11-19 that attempted to repair bug #2737. Since that was back-patched to 7.4, this needs to be as well. Per report and test case from Vlastimil Krejcir.

* Rewrite choose_bitmap_and() to make it more robust in the presence ofTom Lane2007-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | competing alternatives for indexes to use in a bitmap scan. The former coding took estimated selectivity as an overriding factor, causing it to sometimes choose indexes that were much slower to scan than ones with a slightly worse selectivity. It was also too narrow-minded about which combinations of indexes to consider ANDing. The rewrite makes it pay more attention to index scan cost than selectivity; this seems sane since it's impossible to have very bad selectivity with low cost, whereas the reverse isn't true. Also, we now consider each index alone, as well as adding each index to an AND-group led by each prior index, for a total of about O(N^2) rather than O(N) combinations considered. This makes the results much less dependent on the exact order in which the indexes are considered. It's still a lot cheaper than an O(2^N) exhaustive search. A prefilter step eliminates all but the cheapest of those indexes using the same set of WHERE conditions, to keep the effective value of N down in scenarios where the DBA has created lots of partially-redundant indexes.

| | | | | | | | | | | fast flow of new fsync requests can prevent mdsync() from ever completing. This was an unforeseen consequence of a patch added in Mar 2006 to prevent the fsync request queue from overflowing. Problem identified by Heikki Linnakangas and independently by ITAGAKI Takahiro; fix based on ideas from Takahiro-san, Heikki, and Tom. Back-patch as far as 8.1 because a previous back-patch introduced the problem into 8.1 ...

Latest word is that this does not explain Martin Pitt's trouble report, but it still looks like a bug.
