* Fix PGXS support for building loadable modules on AIX.Tom Lane2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | Building a shlib on AIX requires use of the mkldexport.sh script, but we failed to install that, preventing its use from non-source-tree contexts. Also, Makefile.aix had the wrong idea about where to find the installed copy of the postgres.imp symbol file used by AIX. Per report from John Pierce. Patch all the way back, since this has been broken since the beginning of PGXS.
* Fix lo_import and lo_export to return useful error messages more often.Tom Lane2012-10-08
| | | | | | | | | I found that these functions tend to return -1 while leaving an empty error message string in the PGconn, if they suffer some kind of I/O error on the file. The reason is that lo_close, which thinks it's executed a perfectly fine SQL command, clears the errorMessage. The minimum-change workaround is to reorder operations here so that we don't fill the errorMessage until after lo_close.
* Fix lo_export usage in example programs.Tom Lane2012-10-08

* Fixed test for array boundary.Michael Meskes2012-10-05
| | | | | | Instead of continuing if the next character is not an array boundary get_data() used to continue only on finding a boundary so it was not able to read any element after the first.

* Avoid planner crash/Assert failure with joins to unflattened subqueries.Tom Lane2012-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | examine_simple_variable supposed that any RTE_SUBQUERY rel it gets pointed at must have been planned already. However, this isn't a safe assumption because we must do selectivity estimation while generating indexscan paths, and that code might look at join clauses involving a rel that the loop in set_base_rel_sizes() hasn't reached yet. The simplest fix is to play dumb in such a situation, that is give up trying to extract any stats for the Var. This could possibly be improved by making a separate pass over the RTE list to plan each unflattened subquery before we start the main planning work --- but that would be pretty invasive and it doesn't seem worth it, for now at least. (We couldn't just break set_base_rel_sizes() into two loops: the prescan would need to handle all subquery rels in the query, not only those in the current join subproblem.) This bug was introduced in commit 1cb108efb0e60d87e4adec38e7636b6e8efbeb57, although I think that subsequent changes may have exposed it more than it was originally. Per bug #7580 from Maxim Boguk.
* REASSIGN OWNED: consider grants on tablespaces, tooAlvaro Herrera2012-10-03
| | | | | | | | Apparently this was considered in the original code (see commit cec3b0a9) but I failed to notice that such entries would always be skipped by the database check at the start of the loop. Per bugs #7578 by Nikolay, #6116 by tushar.qa@gmail.com.
* Work around unportable behavior of malloc(0) and realloc(NULL, 0).Tom Lane2012-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from Matthew Carrington. Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases, even though some of these functions were in place before that.

* Fix bugs in "restore.sql" script emitted in pg_dump tar output.Tom Lane2012-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tar output module did some very ugly and ultimately incorrect hacking on COPY commands to try to get them to work in the context of restoring a deconstructed tar archive. In particular, it would fail altogether for table names containing any upper-case characters, since it smashed the command string to lower-case before modifying it (and, just to add insult to injury, did that in a way that would fail in multibyte encodings). I don't see any particular value in being flexible about the case of the command keywords, since the string will just have been created by dumpTableData, so let's get rid of the whole case-folding thing. Also, it doesn't seem to meet the POLA for the script to restore data only in COPY mode, so add \i commands to make it have comparable behavior in --inserts mode. Noted while looking at the tar-output code in connection with Brian Weaver's patch.
* Fix tar files emitted by pg_basebackup to be POSIX conformant.Tom Lane2012-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Back-patch portions of commit 05b555d12bc2ad0d581f48a12b45174db41dc10d. There doesn't seem to be any reason not to fix pg_basebackup fully, but we can't change pg_dump's "magic" string without breaking older versions of pg_restore. Instead, just patch pg_restore to accept either version of the magic string, in hopes of avoiding compatibility problems when 9.3 comes out. I also fixed pg_dump to write the correct 2-block EOF marker, since that won't create a compatibility problem with pg_restore and it could help with some versions of tar. Brian Weaver and Tom Lane
* Fix btmarkpos/btrestrpos to handle array keys.Tom Lane2012-09-27
| | | | | | | | This fixes another error in commit 9e8da0f75731aaa7605cf4656c21ea09e84d2eb1. I neglected to make the mark/restore functionality save and restore the current set of array key values, which led to strange behavior if an IndexScan with ScalarArrayOpExpr quals was used as the inner side of a mergejoin. Per bug #7570 from Melese Tesfaye.
* Have pg_terminate/cancel_backend not ERROR on non-existent processesAlvaro Herrera2012-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This worked fine for superusers, but not for ordinary users trying to cancel their own processes. Tweak the order the checks are done in so that we correctly return SIGNAL_BACKEND_ERROR (which current callers know to ignore without erroring out) so that an ordinary user can loop through a resultset without fearing that a process might exit in the middle of said looping -- causing the remaining processes to go unsignalled. Incidentally, the last in-core caller of IsBackendPid() is now gone. However, the function is exported and must remain in place, because there are plenty of callers in external modules.

* Put back AcceptInvalidationMessages calls in heap_openrv(_extended).Tom Lane2012-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These calls were removed in commit 4240e429d0c2d889d0cda23c618f94e12c13ade7 as part of a general refactoring and improvement of DDL locking. However, there's a problem not solved by the rewrite, which is that GRANT/REVOKE update pg_class.relacl without taking any particular lock on the target table as such. If another backend fails to do AcceptInvalidationMessages, it won't notice a recently-committed change in ACLs. Bug #7557 from Piotr Czachur demonstrates that there's at least one code path in 9.2.0 in which a command fails to do any AcceptInvalidationMessages calls at all, if the current transaction already holds all the locks it will need. Since we're hard up against the release deadline for 9.2.1, fix this by putting back the AcceptInvalidationMessages calls in heap_openrv and heap_openrv_extended, thereby restoring the historical behavior in this area. We ought to look for a more elegant and perhaps more bulletproof solution, but there's no time for that right now.

* Fix planning of btree index scans using ScalarArrayOpExpr quals.Tom Lane2012-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 9e8da0f75731aaa7605cf4656c21ea09e84d2eb1, I improved btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively, so that constructs like "indexedcol IN (list)" could be supported by index-only scans. Using such a qual results in multiple scans of the index, under-the-hood. I went to some lengths to ensure that this still produces rows in index order ... but I failed to recognize that if a higher-order index column is lacking an equality constraint, rescans can produce out-of-order data from that column. Tweak the planner to not expect sorted output in that case. Per trouble report from Robert McGehee.
* Fix array_typanalyze to work for domains over arrays.Tom Lane2012-09-18
| | | | | Not sure how we missed this case, but we did. Per bug #7551 from Diego de Lima.
* Rethink heuristics for choosing index quals for parameterized paths.Tom Lane2012-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some experimentation with examples similar to bug #7539 has convinced me that indxpath.c's original implementation of parameterized-path generation was several bricks shy of a load. In general, if we are relying on a particular outer rel or set of outer rels for a parameterized path, the path should use every indexable join clause that's available from that rel or rels. Any join clauses that get left out of the indexqual will end up getting applied as plain filter quals (qpquals), and that's generally a significant loser compared to having the index AM enforce them. (This is particularly true with btree, which can skip the index scan entirely if it can see that the given indexquals are mutually contradictory.) The original heuristics failed to ensure this, though, and were overly complicated anyway. Rewrite to make the code explicitly identify each useful set of outer rels and then select all applicable join clauses for each one. The one plan that changes in the regression tests is in fact for the better according to the planner's cost estimates. (Note: this is not a correctness issue but just a matter of plan quality. I don't yet know what is going on in bug #7539, but I don't expect this change to fix that.)
* Fix bufmgr so CHECKPOINT_END_OF_RECOVERY behaves as a shutdown checkpoint.Simon Riggs2012-09-16
| | | | | | | | | Recovery code documents clearly that a shutdown checkpoint is executed at end of recovery - a shutdown checkpoint WAL record is written but the buffer manager had been altered to treat end of recovery as a normal checkpoint. This bug exacerbates the bufmgr relpersistence bug. Bug spotted by Andres Freund, patch by me.
* Back-patch fix and test case for bug #7516.Tom Lane2012-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back-patch commits 9afc6481117d2dd936e752da0424a2b6b05f6459 and b8fbbcf37f22c5e8361da939ad0fc4be18a34ca9. The first of these is really a minor code cleanup to save a few cycles, but it turns out to provide a workaround for the misoptimization problem described in bug #7516. The second commit adds a regression test case. Back-patch the fix to all active branches. The test case only works as far back as 9.0, because it relies on plpgsql which isn't installed by default before that. (I didn't have success modifying it into an all-plperl form that still provoked a crash, though this may just reflect my lack of Perl-fu.)

* Fix case of window function + aggregate + GROUP BY expression.Tom Lane2012-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 1bc16a946008a7cbb33a9a06a7c6765a807d7f59 I added a minor optimization to drop the component variables of a GROUP BY expression from the target list computed at the aggregation level of a query, if those Vars weren't referenced elsewhere in the tlist. However, I overlooked that the window-function planning code would deconstruct such expressions and thus need to have access to their component variables. Fix it to not do that. While at it, I removed the distinction between volatile and nonvolatile window partition/order expressions: the code now computes all of them at the aggregation level. This saves a relatively expensive check for volatility, and it's unclear that the resulting plan isn't better anyway. Per bug #7535 from Louis-David Mitterrand. Back-patch to 9.2.

* Fix logical errors in tsquery selectivity estimation for prefix queries.Tom Lane2012-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I made multiple errors in commit 97532f7c29468010b87e40a04f8daa3eb097f654, stemming mostly from failure to think about the available frequency data as being element frequencies not value frequencies (so that occurrences of different elements are not mutually exclusive). This led to sillinesses such as estimating that "word" would match more rows than "word:*". The choice to clamp to a minimum estimate of DEFAULT_TS_MATCH_SEL also seems pretty ill-considered in hindsight, as it would frequently result in an estimate much larger than the available data suggests. We do need some sort of clamp, since a pattern not matching any of the MCELEMs probably still needs a selectivity estimate of more than zero. I chose instead to clamp to at least what a non-MCELEM word would be estimated as, preserving the property that "word:*" doesn't get an estimate less than plain "word", whether or not the word appears in MCELEM. Per investigation of a gripe from Bill Martin, though I suspect that his example case actually isn't even reaching the erroneous code. Back-patch to 9.1 where this code was introduced.
* Add vcregress.pl target for checking pg_upgrade.Andrew Dunstan2012-09-10

* Make plperl safe against functions that are redefined while running.Tom Lane2012-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | validate_plperl_function() supposed that it could free an old plperl_proc_desc struct immediately upon detecting that it was stale. However, if a plperl function is called recursively, this could result in deleting the struct out from under an outer invocation, leading to misbehavior or crashes. Add a simple reference-count mechanism to ensure that such structs are freed only when the last reference goes away. Per investigation of bug #7516 from Marko Tiikkaja. I am not certain that this error explains his report, because he says he didn't have any recursive calls --- but it's hard to see how else it could have crashed right there. In any case, this definitely fixes some problems in the area. Back-patch to all active branches.
* Use .NOTPARALLEL in ecpg/Makefile to avoid a gmake parallelism bug.Tom Lane2012-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Investigation shows that some intermittent build failures in ecpg are the result of a gmake bug that was reported quite some time ago: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30653 Preventing parallel builds of the ecpg subdirectories seems to dodge the bug. Per yesterday's pgsql-hackers discussion, there are some other things in the subdirectory makefiles that seem rather unsafe for parallel builds too, but there's little point in fixing them as long as we have to work around a make bug. Back-patch to 9.1; parallel builds weren't very well supported before that anyway.
* Adjust PL/Python regression tests some more for Python 3.3.Tom Lane2012-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2cfb1c6f77734db81b6e74bcae630f93b94f69be fixed some issues caused by Python 3.3 choosing to iterate through dict entries in a different order than before. But here's another one: the test cases adjusted here made two bad entries in a dict and expected the one complained of would always be the same. Possibly this should be back-patched further than 9.2, but there seems little point unless the earlier fix is too.
* Fix PARAM_EXEC assignment mechanism to be safe in the presence of WITH.Tom Lane2012-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The planner previously assumed that parameter Vars having the same absolute query level, varno, and varattno could safely be assigned the same runtime PARAM_EXEC slot, even though they might be different Vars appearing in different subqueries. This was (probably) safe before the introduction of CTEs, but the lazy-evalution mechanism used for CTEs means that a CTE can be executed during execution of some other subquery, causing the lifespan of Params at the same syntactic nesting level as the CTE to overlap with use of the same slots inside the CTE. In 9.1 we created additional hazards by using the same parameter-assignment technology for nestloop inner scan parameters, but it was broken before that, as illustrated by the added regression test. To fix, restructure the planner's management of PlannerParamItems so that items having different semantic lifespans are kept rigorously separated. This will probably result in complex queries using more runtime PARAM_EXEC slots than before, but the slots are cheap enough that this hardly matters. Also, stop generating PlannerParamItems containing Params for subquery outputs: all we really need to do is reserve the PARAM_EXEC slot number, and that now only takes incrementing a counter. The planning code is simpler and probably faster than before, as well as being more correct. Per report from Vik Reykja. Back-patch of commit 46c508fbcf98ac334f1e831d21021d731c882fbb into all branches that support WITH.

* Fix WAL file replacement during cascading replication on Windows.Heikki Linnakangas2012-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | When the startup process restores a WAL file from the archive, it deletes any old file with the same name and renames the new file in its place. On Windows, however, when a file is deleted, it still lingers as long as a process holds a file handle open on it. With cascading replication, a walsender process can hold the old file open, so the rename() in the startup process would fail. To fix that, rename the old file to a temporary name, to make the original file name available for reuse, before deleting the old file.
* Fix inappropriate error messages for Hot Standby misconfiguration errors.Tom Lane2012-09-05

* Restore SIGFPE handler after initializing PL/Perl.Tom Lane2012-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | Perl, for some unaccountable reason, believes it's a good idea to reset SIGFPE handling to SIG_IGN. Which wouldn't be a good idea even if it worked; but on some platforms (Linux at least) it doesn't work at all, instead resulting in forced process termination if the signal occurs. Given the lack of other complaints, it seems safe to assume that Perl never actually provokes SIGFPE and so there is no value in the setting anyway. Hence, reset it to our normal handler after initializing Perl. Report, analysis and patch by Andres Freund.
* Fix compiler warnings about unused variables, caused by my previous commit.Heikki Linnakangas2012-09-04

* Fix bugs in cascading replication with recovery_target_timeline='latest'Heikki Linnakangas2012-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cascading replication code assumed that the current RecoveryTargetTLI never changes, but that's not true with recovery_target_timeline='latest'. The obvious upshot of that is that RecoveryTargetTLI in shared memory needs to be protected by a lock. A less obvious consequence is that when a cascading standby is connected, and the standby switches to a new target timeline after scanning the archive, it will continue to stream WAL to the cascading standby, but from a wrong file, ie. the file of the previous timeline. For example, if the standby is currently streaming from the middle of file 000000010000000000000005, and the timeline changes, the standby will continue to stream from that file. However, the WAL on the new timeline is in file 000000020000000000000005, so the standby sends garbage from 000000010000000000000005 to the cascading standby, instead of the correct WAL from file 000000020000000000000005. This also fixes a related bug where a partial WAL segment is restored from the archive and streamed to a cascading standby. The code assumed that when a WAL segment is copied from the archive, it can immediately be fully streamed to a cascading standby. However, if the segment is only partially filled, ie. has the right size, but only N first bytes contain valid WAL, that's not safe. That can happen if a partial WAL segment is manually copied to the archive, or if a partial WAL segment is archived because a server is started up on a new timeline within that segment. The cascading standby will get confused if the WAL it received is not valid, and will get stuck until it's restarted. This patch fixes that problem by not allowing WAL restored from the archive to be streamed to a cascading standby until it's been replayed, and thus validated.
* Fix serializable mode with index-only scans.Kevin Grittner2012-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serializable Snapshot Isolation used for serializable transactions depends on acquiring SIRead locks on all heap relation tuples which are used to generate the query result, so that a later delete or update of any of the tuples can flag a read-write conflict between transactions. This is normally handled in heapam.c, with tuple level locking. Since an index-only scan avoids heap access in many cases, building the result from the index tuple, the necessary predicate locks were not being acquired for all tuples in an index-only scan. To prevent problems with tuple IDs which are vacuumed and re-used while the transaction still matters, the xmin of the tuple is part of the tag for the tuple lock. Since xmin is not available to the index-only scan for result rows generated from the index tuples, it is not possible to acquire a tuple-level predicate lock in such cases, in spite of having the tid. If we went to the heap to get the xmin value, it would no longer be an index-only scan. Rather than prohibit index-only scans under serializable transaction isolation, we acquire an SIRead lock on the page containing the tuple, when it was not necessary to visit the heap for other reasons. Backpatch to 9.2. Kevin Grittner and Tom Lane
* Allow isolation tests to specify multiple setup blocks.Kevin Grittner2012-09-04

* Make psql's \d+ show reloptions for all relkinds.Tom Lane2012-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly it would only show them for relkinds 'r' and 'f' (plain tables and foreign tables). However, as of 9.2, views can also have reloptions, namely security_barrier. The relkind restriction seems pointless and not at all future-proof, so just print reloptions whenever there are any. In passing, make some cosmetic improvements to the code that pulls the "tableinfo" fields out of the PGresult. Noted and patched by Dean Rasheed, with adjustment for all relkinds by me.
* Restore setting of _USE_32BIT_TIME_T to 32 bit MSVC builds.Andrew Dunstan2012-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | This was removed in commit cd004067742ee16ee63e55abfb4acbd5f09fbaab, we're not quite sure why, but there have been reports of crashes due to AS Perl being built with it when we are not, and it certainly seems like the right thing to do. There is still some uncertainty as to why it sometimes fails and sometimes doesn't. Original patch from Owais Khani, substantially reworked and extended by Andrew Dunstan.
* Make configure probe for mbstowcs_l as well as wcstombs_l.Tom Lane2012-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | We previously supposed that any given platform would supply both or neither of these functions, so that one configure test would be sufficient. It now appears that at least on AIX this is not the case ... which is likely an AIX bug, but nonetheless we need to cope with it. So use separate tests. Per bug #6758; thanks to Andrew Hastie for doing the followup testing needed to confirm what was happening. Backpatch to 9.1, where we began using these functions.
