* Check LIBXML_VERSION instead of testing in configure script.Tom Lane2012-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | We had put a test for libxml2's xmlStructuredErrorContext variable in configure, but of course that doesn't work on Windows builds. The next best alternative seems to be to test the LIBXML_VERSION symbol provided by xmlversion.h. Per report from Talha Bin Rizwan, though this fixes it in a different way than his proposed patch.

* Allow create_index_paths() to consider multiple join bitmapscan paths.Tom Lane2012-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In the initial cut at the "parameterized paths" feature, I'd simplified create_index_paths() to the point where it would only generate a single parameterized bitmap path per relation. Experimentation with an example supplied by Josh Berkus convinces me that that's not good enough: we really need to consider a bitmap path for each possible outer relation. Otherwise we have regressions relative to pre-9.2 versions, in which the planner picks a plain indexscan where it should have used a bitmap scan in queries involving three or more tables. Indeed, after fixing this, several queries in the regression tests show improved plans as a result of using bitmap not plain indexscans.

* Add SP-GiST support for range types.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation is a quad-tree, largely copied from the quad-tree implementation for points. The lower and upper bound of ranges are the 2d coordinates, with some extra code to handle empty ranges. I left out the support for adjacent operator, -|-, from the original patch. Not because there was necessarily anything wrong with it, but it was more complicated than the other operators, and I only have limited time for reviewing. That will follow as a separate patch. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Jeff Davis and me.
* Fix GiST buffering build bug, which caused "failed to re-find parent" errors.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup() descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However, updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to from gistbufferinginserttuples(). This fixes the bug reported by Zdeněk Jílovec.

* Fix rescan logic in nodeCtescan.Tom Lane2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding essentially assumed that nodes would be rescanned in the same order they were initialized in; or at least that the "leader" of a group of CTEscans would be rescanned before any others were required to execute. Unfortunately, that isn't even a little bit true. It's possible to devise queries in which the leader isn't rescanned until other CTEscans on the same CTE have run to completion, or even in which the leader never gets a rescan call at all. The fix makes the leader specially responsible only for initial creation and final destruction of the tuplestore; rescan resets are now a symmetrically shared responsibility. This means that we might reset the tuplestore multiple times when restarting a plan subtree containing multiple CTEscans; but resetting an already-empty tuplestore is cheap enough that that doesn't seem like a problem. Per report from Adam Mackler; the new regression test cases are based on his example query. Back-patch to 8.4 where CTE scans were introduced.
* On second thought, explain why date_trunc("week") on interval values isBruce Momjian2012-08-15

* Disallow extensions from owning the schema they are assigned to.Tom Lane2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | This situation creates a dependency loop that confuses pg_dump and probably other things. Moreover, since the mental model is that the extension "contains" schemas it owns, but "is contained in" its extschema (even though neither is strictly true), having both true at once is confusing for people too. So prevent the situation from being set up. Reported and patched by Thom Brown. Back-patch to 9.1 where extensions were added.
* Properly escape usernames in initdb, so names with single-quotes areBruce Momjian2012-08-15

* Resurrect the "last ditch" code path in join_search_one_level().Tom Lane2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This essentially reverts commit e54b10a62db2991235fe800c629baef4531a6d67, in which I'd decided that the "last ditch" join logic was useless. The folly of that is now exposed by a report from Pavel Stehule: although the function should always find at least one join in a self-contained join problem, it can still fail to do so in a sub-problem created by artificial from_collapse_limit or join_collapse_limit constraints. Adjust the comments to describe this, and simplify the code a bit to match the new coding of the earlier loop in the function. I'm not terribly happy about this: I still subscribe to the opinion stated in the previous commit message that the "last ditch" code can obscure logic bugs elsewhere. But the alternative seems to be to complicate the earlier tests for does-this-relation-have-a-join-clause to the point where they can tell whether the join clauses link outside the current join sub-problem. And that looks messy, slow, and possibly a source of bugs in itself. In any case, now is not the time to be inserting experimental code into 9.2, so let's just go back to the time-tested solution.
* Prevent access to external files/URLs via XML entity references.Tom Lane2012-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xml_parse() would attempt to fetch external files or URLs as needed to resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value, thus allowing unprivileged database users to attempt to fetch data with the privileges of the database server. While the external data wouldn't get returned directly to the user, portions of it could be exposed in error messages if the data didn't parse as valid XML; and in any case the mere ability to check existence of a file might be useful to an attacker. The ideal solution to this would still allow fetching of references that are listed in the host system's XML catalogs, so that documents can be validated according to installed DTDs. However, doing that with the available libxml2 APIs appears complex and error-prone, so we're not going to risk it in a security patch that necessarily hasn't gotten wide review. So this patch merely shuts off all access, causing any external fetch to silently expand to an empty string. A future patch may improve this. In HEAD and 9.2, also suppress warnings about undefined entities, which would otherwise occur as a result of not loading referenced DTDs. Previous branches don't show such warnings anyway, due to different error handling arrangements. Credit to Noah Misch for first reporting the problem, and for much work towards a solution, though this simplistic approach was not his preference. Also thanks to Daniel Veillard for consultation.

* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2012e.Tom Lane2012-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in Morocco; Tokelau has relocated to the other side of the International Date Line; and apparently Olson had Tokelau's GMT offset wrong by an hour even before that. There are also a large number of non-significant changes in this update. Upstream took the opportunity to remove trailing whitespace, and the SCCS-style version numbers on the individual files are gone too.
* Add runtime checks for number of query parameters passed to libpq functions.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | The maximum number of parameters supported by the FE/BE protocol is 65535, as it's transmitted as a 16-bit unsigned integer. However, the nParams arguments to libpq functions are all of type 'int'. We can't change the signature of libpq functions, but a simple bounds check is in order to make it more clear what's going wrong if you try to pass more than 65535 parameters. Per complaint from Jim Vanns.
* More fixes for planner's handling of LATERAL.Tom Lane2012-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re-allow subquery pullup for LATERAL subqueries, except when the subquery is below an outer join and contains lateral references to relations outside that outer join. If we pull up in such a case, we risk introducing lateral cross-references into outer joins' ON quals, which is something the code is entirely unprepared to cope with right now; and I'm not sure it'll ever be worth coping with. Support lateral refs in VALUES (this seems to be the only additional path type that needs such support as a consequence of re-allowing subquery pullup). Put in a slightly hacky fix for joinpath.c's refusal to consider parameterized join paths even when there cannot be any unparameterized ones. This was causing "could not devise a query plan for the given query" failures in queries involving more than two FROM items. Put in an even more hacky fix for distribute_qual_to_rels() being unhappy with join quals that contain references to rels outside their syntactic scope; which is to say, disable that test altogether. Need to think about how to preserve some sort of debugging cross-check here, while not expending more cycles than befits a debugging cross-check.
* Fix some issues with LATERAL(SELECT UNION ALL SELECT).Tom Lane2012-08-11
| | | | | | | | The LATERAL marking has to be propagated down to the UNION leaf queries when we pull them up. Also, fix the formerly stubbed-off set_append_rel_pathlist(). It does already have enough smarts to cope with making a parameterized Append path at need; it just has to not assume that there *must* be an unparameterized path.
* Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX.Tom Lane2012-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This command generated new pg_depend entries linking the index to the constraint and the constraint to the table, which match the entries made when a unique or primary key constraint is built de novo. However, it did not bother to get rid of the entries linking the index directly to the table. We had considered the issue when the ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX patch was written, and concluded that we didn't need to get rid of the extra entries. But this is wrong: ALTER COLUMN TYPE wasn't expecting such redundant dependencies to exist, as reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski. On reflection it seems rather likely to break other things as well, since there are many bits of code that crawl pg_depend for one purpose or another, and most of them are pretty naive about what relationships they're expecting to find. Fortunately it's not that hard to get rid of the extra dependency entries, so let's do that. Back-patch to 9.1, where ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX was added.

* Support having multiple Unix-domain sockets per postmaster.Tom Lane2012-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace unix_socket_directory with unix_socket_directories, which is a list of socket directories, and adjust postmaster's code to allow zero or more Unix-domain sockets to be created. This is mostly a straightforward change, but since the Unix sockets ought to be created after the TCP/IP sockets for safety reasons (better chance of detecting a port number conflict), AddToDataDirLockFile needs to be fixed to support out-of-order updates of data directory lockfile lines. That's a change that had been foreseen to be necessary someday anyway. Honza Horak, reviewed and revised by Tom Lane

* Centralize the logic for detecting misplaced aggregates, window funcs, etc.Tom Lane2012-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly we relied on checking after-the-fact to see if an expression contained aggregates, window functions, or sub-selects when it shouldn't. This is grotty, easily forgotten (indeed, we had forgotten to teach DefineIndex about rejecting window functions), and none too efficient since it requires extra traversals of the parse tree. To improve matters, define an enum type that classifies all SQL sub-expressions, store it in ParseState to show what kind of expression we are currently parsing, and make transformAggregateCall, transformWindowFuncCall, and transformSubLink check the expression type and throw error if the type indicates the construct is disallowed. This allows removal of a large number of ad-hoc checks scattered around the code base. The enum type is sufficiently fine-grained that we can still produce error messages of at least the same specificity as before. Bringing these error checks together revealed that we'd been none too consistent about phrasing of the error messages, so standardize the wording a bit. Also, rewrite checking of aggregate arguments so that it requires only one traversal of the arguments, rather than up to three as before. In passing, clean up some more comments left over from add_missing_from support, and annotate some tests that I think are dead code now that that's gone. (I didn't risk actually removing said dead code, though.)
* Fix upper limit of superuser_reserved_connections, add limit for wal_sendersMagnus Hagander2012-08-10

* Make psql -1 < file behave as expected.Robert Haas2012-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, the -1 option was silently ignored. Also, emit an error if -1 is used in a context where it won't be respected, to avoid user confusion. Original patch by Fabien COELHO, but this version is quite different from the original submission.

* Merge parser's p_relnamespace and p_varnamespace lists into a single list.Tom Lane2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | Now that we are storing structs in these lists, the distinction between the two lists can be represented with a couple of extra flags while using only a single list. This simplifies the code and should save a little bit of palloc traffic, since the majority of RTEs are represented in both lists anyway.
* Fix minor bug in XLogFileRead() that accidentally worked.Simon Riggs2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | | Cascading replication copied the incoming file into pg_xlog but didn't set path correctly, so the first attempt to open file failed causing it to loop around and look for file in pg_xlog. So the earlier coding worked, but accidentally rather than by design. Spotted by Fujii Masao, fix by Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs

* Fix TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId().Tom Lane2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was broken in commit ed0b409d22346b1b027a4c2099ca66984d94b6dd, which revised the GlobalTransactionData struct to not include the associated PGPROC as its first member, but overlooked one place where a cast was used in reliance on that equivalence. The most effective way of fixing this seems to be to create a new function that looks up the GlobalTransactionData struct given the XID, and make both TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId and TwoPhaseGetDummyProc rely on that. Per report from Robert Ross.
* Implement SQL-standard LATERAL subqueries.Tom Lane2012-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the standard syntax of LATERAL attached to a sub-SELECT in FROM, and also allows LATERAL attached to a function in FROM, since set-returning function calls are expected to be one of the principal use-cases. The main change here is a rewrite of the mechanism for keeping track of which relations are visible for column references while the FROM clause is being scanned. The parser "namespace" lists are no longer lists of bare RTEs, but are lists of ParseNamespaceItem structs, which carry an RTE pointer as well as some visibility-controlling flags. Aside from supporting LATERAL correctly, this lets us get rid of the ancient hacks that required rechecking subqueries and JOIN/ON and function-in-FROM expressions for invalid references after they were initially parsed. Invalid column references are now always correctly detected on sight. In passing, remove assorted parser error checks that are now dead code by virtue of our having gotten rid of add_missing_from, as well as some comments that are obsolete for the same reason. (It was mainly add_missing_from that caused so much fudging here in the first place.) The planner support for this feature is very minimal, and will be improved in future patches. It works well enough for testing purposes, though. catversion bump forced due to new field in RangeTblEntry.
* Tweak new Perl pgindent for compatibility with middle-aged Perls.Tom Lane2012-08-07
| | | | | | We seem to have a rough policy that our Perl scripts should work with Perl 5.8, so make this one do so. Main change is to not use the newfangled \h character class in regexes; "[ \t]" is a serviceable replacement.

* Perform conversion from Python unicode to string/bytes object via UTF-8.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to convert the unicode object directly to a string in the server encoding by calling Python's PyUnicode_AsEncodedString function. In other words, we used Python's routines to do the encoding. However, that has a few problems. First of all, it required keeping a mapping table of Python encoding names and PostgreSQL encodings. But the real killer was that Python doesn't support EUC_TW and MULE_INTERNAL encodings at all. Instead, convert the Python unicode object to UTF-8, and use PostgreSQL's encoding conversion functions to convert from UTF-8 to server encoding. We were already doing the same in the other direction in PLyUnicode_FromString, so this is more consistent, too. Note: This makes SQL_ASCII to behave more leniently. We used to map SQL_ASCII to Python's 'ascii', which on Python means strict 7-bit ASCII only, so you got an error if the python string contained anything but pure ASCII. You no longer get an error; you get the UTF-8 representation of the string instead. Backpatch to 9.0, where these conversions were introduced. Jan Urbański
