* Fix portability problem in Catalog.pm.Tom Lane2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | Commit 7666e73a2 introduced a dependency on filehandles' input_line_number method, but apparently that's a Perl neologism. Use $. instead, which works at least back to Perl 5.10, and hopefully back to 5.8. Jeff Janes Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1wuQW=xVfu-14A4VCvxO0ohkD3m9vk6HOj_dprQoKNAQw@mail.gmail.com
* Fix hard-coded relkind constants in psql/describe.c.Tom Lane2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/11145.1488931324@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Add amcheck extension to contrib.Andres Freund2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to verify B-Tree indexes. This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details. The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch" functions that cover multiple access methods.

* Fix hard-coded relkind constants in pg_dump.c.Tom Lane2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros. There were only a few such violations, and all relatively new AFAICT. Existing style is mostly to inject relkind values into constructed query strings using %c. I did not bother to touch places that did it like that, but really a better technique is to stringify the RELKIND macro, at least in places where you'd want single quotes around the code character. That avoids any runtime effort and keeps the RELKIND symbol close to where it's used. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/11145.1488931324@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Make CppAsString2() more visible in c.h.Tom Lane2017-03-09

* Use group updates when setting transaction status in clog.Robert Haas2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0e141c0fbb211bdd23783afa731e3eef95c9ad7a introduced a mechanism to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the need to hand the lock around. Use a similar mechanism to reduce contention on CLogControlLock. Testing shows that this very significantly reduces the amount of time waiting for CLogControlLock on high-concurrency pgbench tests run on a large multi-socket machines; whether that translates into a TPS improvement depends on how much of that contention is simply shifted to some other lock, particularly WALWriteLock.

* Fix timestamptz regression test to still work with latest IANA zone data.Tom Lane2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations. The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York, which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction. Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to decide to remove them from the database in future. With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not think this is a big objection.

* Add a Gather Merge executor node.Robert Haas2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like Gather, we spawn multiple workers and run the same plan in each one; however, Gather Merge is used when each worker produces the same output ordering and we want to preserve that output ordering while merging together the streams of tuples from various workers. (In a way, Gather Merge is like a hybrid of Gather and MergeAppend.) This works out to a win if it saves us from having to perform an expensive Sort. In cases where only a small amount of data would need to be sorted, it may actually be faster to use a regular Gather node and then sort the results afterward, because Gather Merge sometimes needs to wait synchronously for tuples whereas a pure Gather generally doesn't. But if this avoids an expensive sort then it's a win. Rushabh Lathia, reviewed and tested by Amit Kapila, Thomas Munro, and Neha Sharma, and reviewed and revised by me.

* Bring plpgsql into line with header inclusion policy.Tom Lane2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a project policy that every .c file should start by including postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h as appropriate; and then there is no need for any .h file to explicitly include any of these. (The core reason for this policy is to make it easy to verify that pg_config_os.h is included before any system headers such as <stdio.h>; without that, we have portability issues on some platforms due to variation in largefile options across different modules in the backend. Also, if .h files were responsible for choosing which of these key headers to include, .h files that need to be includable in either frontend or backend compiles would be in trouble.) plpgsql was blithely ignoring this policy, so whack it upside the head until it complies. I also chose to standardize on including plpgsql's own .h files after all core-system headers that it pulls in. That could've been done either way, but this way seems saner.

* Document intentional violations of header inclusion policy.Tom Lane2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although there are good reasons for our policy of including postgres.h as the first #include in every .c file, never from .h files, there are two places where it seems expedient to violate the policy because the alternative is to modify externally-supplied .c files. (In the case of the regexp library, the idea that it's externally-supplied is kind of at odds with reality, but I haven't entirely given up hope that it will become a standalone project some day.) Add some comments to make it explicit that this is a policy violation and provide the reasoning. In passing, move #include "miscadmin.h" out of regcomp.c and into regcustom.h, which is where it should be if we're taking this reasoning seriously at all.

* Expose explain's SUMMARY optionStephen Frost2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This exposes the existing explain summary option to users to allow them to choose if they wish to have the planning time and totalled run time included in the EXPLAIN result. The existing default behavior is retained if SUMMARY is not specified- running explain without analyze will not print the summary lines (just the planning time, currently) while running explain with analyze will include the summary lines (both the planning time and the totalled execution time). Users who wish to see the summary information for plain explain can now use: EXPLAIN (SUMMARY ON) query; Users who do not want to have the summary printed for an analyze run can use: EXPLAIN (ANALYZE ON, SUMMARY OFF) query; With this, we can now also have EXPLAIN ANALYZE queries included in our regression tests by using: EXPLAIN (ANALYZE ON, TIMING OFF, SUMMARY off) query; I went ahead and added an example of this, which will hopefully not make the buildfarm complain.

* Use doubly-linked block lists in aset.c to reduce large-chunk overhead.Tom Lane2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Large chunks (those too large for any palloc freelist) are managed as separate blocks. Formerly, realloc'ing or pfree'ing such a chunk required O(N) time in a context with N blocks, since we had to traipse down the singly-linked block list to locate the block's predecessor before we could fix the list links. This can result in O(N^2) runtime in situations where large numbers of such chunks are manipulated within one context. Cases like that were not foreseen in the original design of aset.c, and indeed didn't arise until fairly recently. But such problems can now occur in reorderbuffer.c and in hash joining, both of which make repeated large requests without scaling up their request size as they do so, and which will free their requests in not-necessarily-LIFO order. To fix, change the block list from singly-linked to doubly-linked. This adds another 4 or 8 bytes to ALLOC_BLOCKHDRSZ, but that doesn't seem like unacceptable overhead, since aset.c's blocks are normally 8K or more, and never less than 1K in current practice. In passing, get rid of some redundant AllocChunkGetPointer() calls in AllocSetRealloc (the compiler might be smart enough to optimize these away anyway, but no need to assume that) and improve AllocSetCheck's checking of block header fields. Back-patch to 9.4 where reorderbuffer.c appeared. We could take this further back, but currently there's no evidence that it would be useful.

* Prevent logical rep workers with removed subscriptions from starting.Fujii Masao2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any logical rep workers must have their subscription entries in pg_subscription. To ensure this, we need to prevent the launcher from starting new worker corresponding to the subscription that DROP SUBSCRIPTION command is removing. To implement this, previously LogicalRepLauncherLock was introduced and held until the end of transaction running DROP SUBSCRIPTION. But using LWLock for that purpose was not valid. Instead, this commit changes DROP SUBSCRIPTION so that it takes AccessExclusiveLock on pg_subscription, in order to ensure that the launcher cannot see any subscriptions being removed. Also this commit gets rid of LogicalRepLauncherLock.

* Support XMLTABLE query expressionAlvaro Herrera2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XMLTABLE is defined by the SQL/XML standard as a feature that allows turning XML-formatted data into relational form, so that it can be used as a <table primary> in the FROM clause of a query. This new construct provides significant simplicity and performance benefit for XML data processing; what in a client-side custom implementation was reported to take 20 minutes can be executed in 400ms using XMLTABLE. (The same functionality was said to take 10 seconds using nested PostgreSQL XPath function calls, and 5 seconds using XMLReader under PL/Python). The implemented syntax deviates slightly from what the standard requires. First, the standard indicates that the PASSING clause is optional and that multiple XML input documents may be given to it; we make it mandatory and accept a single document only. Second, we don't currently support a default namespace to be specified. This implementation relies on a new executor node based on a hardcoded method table. (Because the grammar is fixed, there is no extensibility in the current approach; further constructs can be implemented on top of this such as JSON_TABLE, but they require changes to core code.)

* Invent start_proc parameters for PL/Tcl.Tom Lane2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define GUCs pltcl.start_proc and pltclu.start_proc. When set to a nonempty value at the time a new Tcl interpreter is created, the parameterless pltcl or pltclu function named by the GUC is called to allow user-controlled initialization to occur within the interpreter. This is modeled on plv8's start_proc parameter, and also has much in common with plperl's on_init feature. It allows users to fully replace the "modules" feature that was removed in commit 817f2a586. Since an initializer function could subvert later Tcl code in nearly arbitrary ways, mark both GUCs as SUSET for now. It would be nice to find a way to relax that someday; but the corresponding GUCs in plperl are also SUSET, and there's not been much complaint.

* Clean up test_ifaddrs a bit.Tom Lane2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We customarily #include <netinet/in.h> before <arpa/inet.h>; according to our git history (cf commit 527f8babc) there used to be platform(s) where <arpa/inet.h> didn't compile otherwise. That's probably not really an issue anymore, but since test_ifaddrs.c is the one and only place in our code that's not following that rule, bring it into line. Also remove #include <sys/socket.h>, as that's duplicative given that libpq/ifaddr.h does so (via pqcomm.h). In passing, add a .gitignore file so nobody accidentally commits the test_ifaddrs executable, as I nearly did. I see no particular need to back-patch this, as it's just neatnik-ism considering we don't build test_ifaddrs by default, or even document it anywhere.

* Remove vestigial grammar support for CHARACTER ... CHARACTER SET option.Tom Lane2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SQL standard says that you should be able to write "CHARACTER SET foo" as part of the declaration of a char-type column. We don't implement that, but a rough form of support has existed in gram.y since commit f10b63923. That's now sat there for nigh 20 years without anyone fleshing it out --- and even if someone did, the contemplated approach of having separate data type name(s) for every character set certainly isn't what we'd do today. Let's just remove the grammar production; if anyone is ever motivated to work on this, reinventing the grammar support is a trivial fraction of what they'd have to do. And we've never documented anything about supporting such a clause. Per gripe from Neha Khatri. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFO0U+-iOS5oYN5v3SBuZvfhPUTRrkDFEx8w7H17B07Rwg3YUA@mail.gmail.com
* Preparatory refactoring for parallel merge join support.Robert Haas2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extract the logic used by hash_inner_and_outer into a separate function, get_cheapest_parallel_safe_total_inner, so that it can also be used to plan parallel merge joins. Also, add a require_parallel_safe argument to the existing function get_cheapest_path_for_pathkeys, because parallel merge join needs to find the cheapest path for a given set of pathkeys that is parallel-safe, not just the cheapest one overall. Patch by me, reviewed by Dilip Kumar. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoYOv+dFK0MWW6366dFj_xTnohQfoBDrHyB7d1oZhrgPjA@mail.gmail.com
* Fix parallel hash join path search.Robert Haas2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | When the very cheapest path is not parallel-safe, we want to instead use the cheapest unparameterized path that is. The old code searched innerrel->cheapest_parameterized_paths, but that isn't right, because the path we want may not be in that list. Search innerrel->pathlist instead. Spotted by Dilip Kumar.

* psql: Add \gx commandStephen Frost2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can often be useful to use expanded mode output (\x) for just a single query. Introduce a \gx which acts exactly like \g except that it will force expanded output mode for that one \gx call. This is simpler than having to use \x as a toggle and also means that the user doesn't have to worry about the current state of the expanded variable, or resetting it later, to ensure a given query is always returned in expanded mode. Primairly Christoph's patch, though I did tweak the documentation and help text a bit, and re-indented the tab completion section.
