* Fix DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS.Tom Lane2012-08-27
| | | | | | | | This threw ERROR, not the expected NOTICE, if the index didn't exist. The bug was actually visible in not-as-expected regression test output, so somebody wasn't paying too close attention in commit 8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e. Per report from Brendan Byrd.

* Collect and use histograms of lower and upper bounds for range types.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables selectivity estimation of the <<, >>, &<, &> and && operators, as well as the normal inequality operators: <, <=, >=, >. "range @> element" is also supported, but the range-variant @> and <@ operators are not, because they cannot be sensibly estimated with lower and upper bound histograms alone. We would need to make some assumption about the lengths of the ranges for that. Alexander's patch included a separate histogram of lengths for that, but I left that out of the patch for simplicity. Hopefully that will be added as a followup patch. The fraction of empty ranges is also calculated and used in estimation. Alexander Korotkov, heavily modified by me.
* pg_basebackup: Correct error messagePeter Eisentraut2012-08-27
| | | | | It still thought that the --xlog-method option argument could be empty, as in a previous version of this feature.
* Fix up planner infrastructure to support LATERAL properly.Tom Lane2012-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch takes care of a number of problems having to do with failure to choose valid join orders and incorrect handling of lateral references pulled up from subqueries. Notable changes: * Add a LateralJoinInfo data structure similar to SpecialJoinInfo, to represent join ordering constraints created by lateral references. (I first considered extending the SpecialJoinInfo structure, but the semantics are different enough that a separate data structure seems better.) Extend join_is_legal() and related functions to prevent trying to form unworkable joins, and to ensure that we will consider joins that satisfy lateral references even if the joins would be clauseless. * Fill in the infrastructure needed for the last few types of relation scan paths to support parameterization. We'd have wanted this eventually anyway, but it is necessary now because a relation that gets pulled up out of a UNION ALL subquery may acquire a reltargetlist containing lateral references, meaning that its paths *have* to be parameterized whether or not we have any code that can push join quals down into the scan. * Compute data about lateral references early in query_planner(), and save in RelOptInfo nodes, to avoid repetitive calculations later. * Assorted corner-case bug fixes. There's probably still some bugs left, but this is a lot closer to being real than it was before.

* Fix issues with checks for unsupported transaction states in Hot Standby.Tom Lane2012-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GUC check hooks for transaction_read_only and transaction_isolation tried to check RecoveryInProgress(), so as to disallow setting read/write mode or serializable isolation level (respectively) in hot standby sessions. However, GUC check hooks can be called in many situations where we're not connected to shared memory at all, resulting in a crash in RecoveryInProgress(). Among other cases, this results in EXEC_BACKEND builds crashing during child process start if default_transaction_isolation is serializable, as reported by Heikki Linnakangas. Protect those calls by silently allowing any setting when not inside a transaction; which is okay anyway since these GUCs are always reset at start of transaction. Also, add a check to GetSerializableTransactionSnapshot() to complain if we are in hot standby. We need that check despite the one in check_XactIsoLevel() because default_transaction_isolation could be serializable. We don't want to complain any sooner than this in such cases, since that would prevent running transactions at all in such a state; but a transaction can be run, if SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION is done before setting a snapshot. Per report some months ago from Robert Haas. Back-patch to 9.1, since these problems were introduced by the SSI patch. Kevin Grittner and Tom Lane, with ideas from Heikki Linnakangas

* Fix cascading privilege revoke to notice when privileges are still held.Tom Lane2012-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from role(s) Y that X had granted it to. This was supposedly fixed as one aspect of commit 4b2dafcc0b1a579ef5daaa2728223006d1ff98e9, but I must not have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked. Per bug #6728 from Daniel German. Back-patch to all active branches, since this has been wrong since 8.0.
* Mark DateTimeParseError() noreturnPeter Eisentraut2012-08-21
| | | | | This avoids a warning from clang 3.2 about an uninitialized variable 'dtype' in date_in().
* Avoid somewhat-theoretical overflow risks in RecordIsValid().Tom Lane2012-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This improves on commit 51fed14d73ed3acd2282b531fb1396877e44e86a by eliminating the assumption that we can form <some pointer value> + <some offset> without overflow. The entire point of those tests is that we don't trust the offset value, so coding them in a way that could wrap around if the buffer happens to be near the top of memory doesn't seem sound. Instead, track the remaining space as a size_t variable and compare offsets against that. Also, improve comment about why we need the extra early check on xl_tot_len.
* Fix dumping of security_barrier views with circular dependencies.Tom Lane2012-08-21
| | | | | | | | | If a view has circular dependencies, pg_dump splits it into a CREATE TABLE and a CREATE RULE command to break the dependency loop. However, if the view has reloptions, those options cannot be applied in the CREATE TABLE command, because views and tables have different allowed reloptions so CREATE TABLE would reject them. Instead apply the reloptions after the CREATE RULE, using ALTER VIEW SET.
* Improve C comments in GetSnapshotData.Robert Haas2012-08-21
| | | | | | Move discussion of why our algorithm for taking snapshots in recovery to a more appropriate location in the function, and delete incorrect mention of taking a lock.
* Teach compiler that ereport(>=ERROR) does not returnPeter Eisentraut2012-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | When elevel >= ERROR, we add an abort() call to the ereport() macro to give the compiler a hint that the ereport() expansion will not return, but the abort() isn't actually reached because the longjmp happens in errfinish(). Because the effect of ereport() varies with the elevel, we cannot use standard compiler attributes such as noreturn for this.

* Don't get confused if a WAL partial record header has xl_tot_len == 0.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a WAL record header was split across pages, but xl_tot_len was 0, we would get confused and conclude that we had already read the whole record, and proceed to CRC check it. That can lead to a crash in RecordIsValid(), which isn't careful to not read beyond end-of-record, as defined by xl_tot_len. Add an explicit sanity check for xl_tot_len <= SizeOfXlogRecord. Also, make RecordIsValid() more robust by checking in each step that it doesn't try to access memory beyond end of record, even if a length field in the record's or a backup block's header is bogus. Per report and analysis by Tom Lane.

* Allow OLD and NEW in multi-row VALUES within rules.Tom Lane2012-08-19
| | | | | Now that we have LATERAL, it's fairly painless to allow this case, which was left as a TODO in the original multi-row VALUES implementation.
* Make use of LATERAL in information_schema.sequences view.Tom Lane2012-08-18
| | | | | | | It said "XXX: The following could be improved if we had LATERAL" ... so let's do that. No catversion bump since either version of the view works fine.
* Another round of planner fixes for LATERAL.Tom Lane2012-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, subquery pullup had no need to examine other entries in the range table, since they could not contain any references to the subquery being pulled up. That's no longer true with LATERAL, so now we need to be able to visit rangetable subexpressions to replace Vars referencing the pulled-up subquery. Also, this means that extract_lateral_references must be unsurprised at encountering lateral PlaceHolderVars, since such might be created when pulling up a subquery that's underneath an outer join with respect to the lateral reference.
* 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.

* 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
| | | | | | | supported. Also add assert to catch future breakage. Also, improve documentation that "double"-quotes must be used in pg_hba.conf (not single quotes).
* 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.
