* Fix an old bug in multixact and two-phase commit. Prepared transactions canHeikki Linnakangas2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | be part of multixacts, so allocate a slot for each prepared transaction in the "oldest member" array in multixact.c. On PREPARE TRANSACTION, transfer the oldest member value from the current backends slot to the prepared xact slot. Also save and recover the value from the 2pc state file. The symptom of the bug was that after a transaction prepared, a shared lock still held by the prepared transaction was sometimes ignored by other transactions. Fix back to 8.1, where both 2PC and multixact were introduced.
* Adjust expected-results spacing per buildfarm results.Tom Lane2009-11-22

* Remove -w (--ignore-all-space) option from pg_regress's diff calls.Tom Lane2009-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We have used -w for a long time as a means of reducing the reported diff volume when one element of a result table isn't of the expected width. However, most of the time the results just pass anyway, so this isn't as important as it once was. Meanwhile, the risk of missing potentially significant deviations has gone up, particularly with psql's ability to report error cursor positions. So, let's switch over to space-sensitive comparisons. Per my proposal of yesterday. (All the expected files that I can test here seem to be ready for this already, but we'll see what the buildfarm thinks about others.)

* Improve psql's tabular display of wrapped-around data by inserting markersTom Lane2009-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in the formerly-always-blank columns just to left and right of the data. Different marking is used for a line break caused by a newline in the data than for a straight wraparound. A newline break is signaled by a "+" in the right margin column in ASCII mode, or a carriage return arrow in UNICODE mode. Wraparound is signaled by a dot in the right margin as well as the following left margin in ASCII mode, or an ellipsis symbol in the same places in UNICODE mode. "\pset linestyle old-ascii" is added to make the previous behavior available if anyone really wants it. In passing, this commit also cleans up a few regression test files that had unintended spacing differences from the current actual output. Roger Leigh, reviewed by Gabrielle Roth and other members of PDXPUG.

* Refactor ecpg grammar so that it uses the core grammar's unreserved_keywordTom Lane2009-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | list, minus a few specific words that have to be treated specially. This replaces a hard-wired list of keywords that would have needed manual maintenance, and was not getting it. The 8.4 coding was already missing these words, causing ecpg to incorrectly treat them as reserved words: CALLED, CATALOG, DEFINER, ENUM, FOLLOWING, INVOKER, OPTIONS, PARTITION, PRECEDING, RANGE, SECURITY, SERVER, UNBOUNDED, WRAPPER. In HEAD we were additionally missing COMMENTS, FUNCTIONS, SEQUENCES, TABLES. Per gripe from Bosco Rama.
* Add a WHEN clause to CREATE TRIGGER, allowing a boolean expression to beTom Lane2009-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | checked to determine whether the trigger should be fired. For BEFORE triggers this is mostly a matter of spec compliance; but for AFTER triggers it can provide a noticeable performance improvement, since queuing of a deferred trigger event and re-fetching of the row(s) at end of statement can be short-circuited if the trigger does not need to be fired. Takahiro Itagaki, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei.

* Fix memory leak in syslogger: logfile_rotate() would leak a copy of theTom Lane2009-11-19
| | | | | | | | | output filename if CSV logging was enabled and only one of the two possible output files got rotated during a particular call (which would, in fact, typically be the case during a size-based rotation). This would amount to about MAXPGPATH (1KB) per rotation, and it's been there since the CSV code was put in, so it's surprising that nobody noticed it before. Per bug #5196 from Thomas Poindessous.
* Add a hook to CREATE/ALTER ROLE to allow an external module to check theTom Lane2009-11-18

* Provide a parenthesized-options syntax for VACUUM, analogous to that recentlyTom Lane2009-11-16

* While doing the final setrefs.c pass over a plan tree, try to match upTom Lane2009-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | non-Var sort/group expressions using ressortgroupref labels instead of depending entirely on equal()-ity of the upper node's tlist expressions to the lower node's. This avoids emitting the wrong outputs in cases where there are textually identical volatile sort/group expressions, as for example select distinct random(),random() from generate_series(1,10); Per report from Andrew Gierth. Backpatch to 8.4. Arguably this is wrong all the way back, but the only known case where there's an observable problem is when using hash aggregation to implement DISTINCT, which is new as of 8.4. So for the moment I'll refrain from backpatching further.

* Improve planning of Materialize nodes inserted atop the inner input of aTom Lane2009-11-15
| | | | | | | | | mergejoin to shield it from doing mark/restore and refetches. Put an explicit flag in MergePath so we can centralize the logic that knows about this, and add costing logic that considers using Materialize even when it's not forced by the previously-existing considerations. This is in response to a discussion back in August that suggested that materializing an inner indexscan can be helpful when the refetch percentage is high enough.

* Add control knobs for plpgsql's variable resolution behavior, and make theTom Lane2009-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | default be "throw error on conflict", as per discussions. The GUC variable is plpgsql.variable_conflict, with values "error", "use_variable", "use_column". The behavior can also be specified per-function by inserting one of #variable_conflict error #variable_conflict use_variable #variable_conflict use_column at the start of the function body. The 8.5 release notes will need to mention using "use_variable" to retain backward-compatible behavior, although we should encourage people to migrate to the much less mistake-prone "error" setting. Update the plpgsql documentation to match this and other recent changes.
* A better fix for the "ARRAY[...]::domain" problem. The previous patch worked,Heikki Linnakangas2009-11-13
| | | | | | | but the transformed ArrayExpr claimed to have a return type of "domain", even though the domain constraint was only checked by the enclosing CoerceToDomain node. With this fix, the ArrayExpr is correctly labeled with the base type of the domain. Per gripe by Tom Lane.
* When you do "ARRAY[...]::domain", where domain is a domain over an array type,Heikki Linnakangas2009-11-13
| | | | | | | | | we need to check domain constraints. We used to do it correctly, but 8.4 introduced a separate code path for the "ARRAY[]::arraytype" case to infer the type of an empty ARRAY construct from the cast target, and forgot to take domains into account. Per report from Florian G. Pflug.
* Fix multicolumn GIN's wrong results with fastupdate enabled.Teodor Sigaev2009-11-13

* Make initdb behave sanely when the selected locale has codeset "US-ASCII".Tom Lane2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, this should result in defaulting to SQL_ASCII encoding. The original coding could not support that because it conflated selection of SQL_ASCII encoding with not being able to determine the encoding. Adjust pg_get_encoding_from_locale()'s API to distinguish these cases, and fix callers appropriately. Only initdb actually changes behavior, since the other callers were perfectly content to consider these cases equivalent. Per bug #5178 from Boh Yap. Not going to bother back-patching, since no one has complained before and there's an easy workaround (namely, specify the encoding you want).

* Remove plpgsql's separate lexer (finally!), in favor of using the core lexerTom Lane2009-11-12
| | | | | | | directly. This was a lot of trouble, but should be worth it in terms of not having to keep the plpgsql lexer in step with core anymore. In addition the handling of keywords is significantly better-structured, allowing us to de-reserve a number of words that plpgsql formerly treated as reserved.

* Support optional FROM/IN in FETCH and MOVEAlvaro Herrera2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | The main motivation for this is that it's required for Informix compatibility in ECPG. This patch makes the ECPG and core grammars a bit closer to one another for these productions. Author: Zoltan Boszormenyi
* Do not build psql's flex module on its own, but instead include it inTom Lane2009-11-10
| | | | | | | | | mainloop.c. This ensures that postgres_fe.h is read before including any system headers, which is necessary to avoid problems on some platforms where we make nondefault selections of feature macros for stdio.h or other headers. We have had this policy for flex modules in the backend for many years, but for some reason it was not applied to psql. Per trouble report from Alexandra Roy and diagnosis by Albe Laurenz.
* Revert the temporary patch to work around Snow Leopard readdir() bug.Tom Lane2009-11-10
| | | | | | | | Apple has fixed that bug in 10.6.2, and we should encourage users to update to that version rather than trusting this cosmetic patch. As was recently noted by Stephen Tyler, this patch was only masking the problem in the context of DROP TABLESPACE, but the failure could occur in other places such as pg_xlog cleanup.

* Fix longstanding problems in VACUUM caused by untimely interruptionsAlvaro Herrera2009-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In VACUUM FULL, an interrupt after the initial transaction has been recorded as committed can cause postmaster to restart with the following error message: PANIC: cannot abort transaction NNNN, it was already committed This problem has been reported many times. In lazy VACUUM, an interrupt after the table has been truncated by lazy_truncate_heap causes other backends' relcache to still point to the removed pages; this can cause future INSERT and UPDATE queries to error out with the following error message: could not read block XX of relation 1663/NNN/MMMM: read only 0 of 8192 bytes The window to this race condition is extremely narrow, but it has been seen in the wild involving a cancelled autovacuum process. The solution for both problems is to inhibit interrupts in both operations until after the respective transactions have been committed. It's not a complete solution, because the transaction could theoretically be aborted by some other error, but at least fixes the most common causes of both problems.
* More incremental refactoring in plpgsql: get rid of gram.y dependencies onTom Lane2009-11-10
| | | | | | | yytext. This is a necessary change if we're going to have a lexer interface layer that does lookahead, since yytext won't necessarily be in step with what the grammar thinks is the current token. yylval and yylloc should be the only side-variables that we need to manage when doing lookahead.
* Re-refactor the core scanner's API, in order to get out from under the problemTom Lane2009-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of different parsers having different YYSTYPE unions that they want to use with it. I defined a new union core_YYSTYPE that is just the (very short) list of semantic values returned by the core scanner. I had originally worried that this would require an extra interface layer, but actually we can have parser.c's base_yylex (formerly filtered_base_yylex) take care of that at no extra cost. Names associated with the core scanner are now "core_yy_foo", with "base_yy_foo" being used in the core Bison parser and the parser.c interface layer. This solves the last serious stumbling block to eliminating plpgsql's separate lexer. One restriction that will still be present is that plpgsql and the core will have to agree on the token numbers assigned to tokens that can be returned by the core lexer. Since Bison doesn't seem willing to accept external assignments of those numbers, we'll have to live with decreeing that core and plpgsql grammars declare these tokens first and in the same order.
* Fix WHERE CURRENT OF to work as designed within plpgsql. The argumentTom Lane2009-11-09
| | | | | | | can be the name of a plpgsql cursor variable, which formerly was converted to $N before the core parser saw it, but that's no longer the case. Deal with plain name references to plpgsql variables, and add a regression test case that exposes the failure.
* Modernize plpgsql's handling of parse locations, making it look a lot moreTom Lane2009-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | like the core parser's code. In particular, track locations at the character rather than line level during parsing, allowing many more parse-time error conditions to be reported with precise error pointers rather than just "near line N". Also, exploit the fact that we no longer need to substitute $N for variable references by making extracted SQL queries and expressions be exact copies of subranges of the function text, rather than having random whitespace changes within them. This makes it possible to directly map parse error positions from the core parser onto positions in the function text, which lets us report them without the previous kluge of showing the intermediate internal-query form. (Later it might be good to do that for core parse-analysis errors too, but this patch is just touching plpgsql's lexer/parser, not what happens at runtime.) In passing, make plpgsql's lexer use palloc not malloc. These changes make plpgsql's parse-time error reports noticeably nicer (as illustrated by the regression test changes), and will also simplify the planned removal of plpgsql's separate lexer by reducing the impedance mismatch between what it does and what the core lexer does.
* Remove ancient text file containing plpgsql installation instructions.Tom Lane2009-11-07
| | | | | This was long ago superseded by the standard build process and main SGML documentation.
* Rearrange plpgsql parsing to simplify and speed it up a bit.Tom Lane2009-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Pull the responsibility for %TYPE and %ROWTYPE out of the scanner, letting read_datatype manage it instead. * Avoid unnecessary scanner-driven lookups of plpgsql variables in places where it's not needed, which is actually most of the time; we do not need it in DECLARE sections nor in text that is a SQL query or expression. * Rationalize the set of token types returned by the scanner: distinguishing T_SCALAR, T_RECORD, T_ROW seems to complicate the grammar in more places than it simplifies it, so merge these into one token type T_DATUM; but split T_ERROR into T_DBLWORD and T_TRIPWORD for clarity and simplicity of later processing. Some of this will need to be revisited again when we try to make plpgsql use the core scanner, but this patch gets some of the bigger stumbling blocks out of the way.
* Keep track of language's trusted flag in InlineCodeBlock. Needed to support ↵Andrew Dunstan2009-11-06
| | | | DO blocks for languages that have both trusted and untrusted variants.
* Change plpgsql from using textual substitution to insert variable referencesTom Lane2009-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | into SQL expressions, to using the newly added parser callback hooks. This allows us to do the substitutions in a more semantically-aware way: a variable reference will only be recognized where it can validly go, ie, a place where a column value or parameter would be legal, instead of the former behavior that would replace any textual match including table names and column aliases (leading to syntax errors later on). A release-note-worthy fine point is that plpgsql variable names that match fully-reserved words will now need to be quoted. This commit preserves the former behavior that variable references take precedence over any possible match to a column name. The infrastructure is in place to support the reverse precedence or throwing an error on ambiguity, but those behaviors aren't accessible yet. Most of the code changes here are associated with making the namespace data structure persist so that it can be consulted at runtime, instead of throwing it away at the end of initial function parsing. The plpgsql scanner is still doing name lookups, but that behavior is now irrelevant for SQL expressions. A future commit will deal with removing unnecessary lookups.
* Don't treat NEW and OLD as reserved words anymore. For the purposes of rulesTom Lane2009-11-05
| | | | | | | | it works just as well to have them be ordinary identifiers, and this gets rid of a number of ugly special cases. Plus we aren't interfering with non-rule usage of these names. catversion bump because the names change internally in stored rules.
* reenable -> re-enablePeter Eisentraut2009-11-05
| | | | Pointed out by Debian's lintian.
* Remove plpgsql's RENAME declaration, which has bizarre and mostly nonfunctionalTom Lane2009-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | behavior, and is so little used that no one has been interested in fixing it. To ensure that possible uses are covered, remove the ALIAS declaration's arbitrary restriction that only $n identifiers can be aliased. (We could alternatively make RENAME act just like ALIAS, but per discussion having two different ways to do the same thing is probably more confusing than helpful.)
* Allow binary-coercible cases in ri_HashCompareOp; there are some such casesTom Lane2009-11-05
| | | | | | that are not handled by find_coercion_pathway, notably composite->RECORD. Now that 8.4 supports composites as primary keys, it's worth dealing with this case.
* Rename some encoding conversion modules to keep pathnames in our sourceTom Lane2009-11-04
| | | | | | | tarballs under 100 characters. This should avoid failures with certain untarring tools (WinZip and Midnight Commander have been mentioned as likely suspects). Per my proposal of yesterday. catversion bumped since the initial contents of pg_proc change.
* Make expression locations for LIKE and SIMILAR TO constructs uniformly pointTom Lane2009-11-04
| | | | | | at the first keyword of the expression, rather than drawing a rather artificial distinction between the ESCAPE subclause and the rest. Per gripe from Gokulakannan Somasundaram and subsequent discusssion.
* Add support for invoking parser callback hooks via SPI and in cached plans.Tom Lane2009-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | As proof of concept, modify plpgsql to use the hooks. plpgsql is still inserting $n symbols textually, but the "back end" of the parsing process now goes through the ParamRef hook instead of using a fixed parameter-type array, and then execution only fetches actually-referenced parameters, using a hook added to ParamListInfo. Although there's a lot left to be done in plpgsql, this already cures the "if (TG_OP = 'INSERT' and NEW.foo ...)" problem, as illustrated by the changed regression test.
