* Ensure locks are acquired on RLS-added relationsStephen Frost2015-08-28
| | | | | | | | During fireRIRrules(), get_row_security_policies can add to securityQuals and withCheckOptions. Make sure to lock any relations added at that point and before firing RIR rules on those expressions. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
* Simplify Perl chmod callsPeter Eisentraut2015-08-27
| | | | | The Perl chmod function already takes multiple file arguments, so we don't need a separate looping function.
* Reestablish alignment of pg_controldata output.Joe Conway2015-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Until 9.4, pg_controldata output was all aligned. At some point during 9.5 development, a new item was added, namely "Current track_commit_timestamp setting:" which is two characters too long to be aligned with the rest of the output. Fix this by removing the noise word "Current" and adding the requisite number of padding spaces. Since the six preceding items are also similar in nature, remove "Current" and pad those as well in order to maintain overall consistency. Backpatch to 9.5 where new offending item was added.
* Fix potential platform dependence in gist regression test.Tom Lane2015-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The results of the KNN-search test cases were indeterminate, as they asked the system to sort pairs of points that are exactly equidistant from the query reference point. It's a bit surprising that we've seen no platform-specific failures from this in the buildfarm. Perhaps IEEE-float math is well enough standardized that no such failures will ever occur on supported platforms ... but since this entire regression test has yet to be shipped in any non-alpha release, that seems like an unduly optimistic assumption. Tweak the queries so that the correct output is uniquely defined. (The other queries in this test are also underdetermined; but it looks like they are regurgitating index rows in insertion order, so for the moment assume that that behavior is stable enough.) Per Greg Stark's experiments with VAX. Back-patch to 9.5 where this test script was introduced.
* Avoid use of float arithmetic in bipartite_match.c.Tom Lane2015-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the distances used in this algorithm are small integers (not more than the size of the U set, in fact), there is no good reason to use float arithmetic for them. Use short ints instead: they're smaller, faster, and require no special portability assumptions. Per testing by Greg Stark, which disclosed that the code got into an infinite loop on VAX for lack of IEEE-style float infinities. We don't really care all that much whether Postgres can run on a VAX anymore, but there seems sufficient reason to change this code anyway. In passing, make a few other small adjustments to make the code match usual Postgres coding style a bit better.

* Avoid O(N^2) behavior when enlarging SPI tuple table in spi_printtup().Tom Lane2015-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For no obvious reason, spi_printtup() was coded to enlarge the tuple pointer table by just 256 slots at a time, rather than doubling the size at each reallocation, as is our usual habit. For very large SPI results, this makes for O(N^2) time spent in repalloc(), which of course soon comes to dominate the runtime. Use the standard doubling approach instead. This is a longstanding performance bug, so back-patch to all active branches. Neil Conway
* Clean up roles from roleattributes testStephen Frost2015-08-21
| | | | | | Having the roles remain after the test ends up causing repeated 'make installcheck' runs to fail and may be risky from a security perspective also, so remove them at the end of the test.
* Do not allow *timestamp to be passed as NULLAlvaro Herrera2015-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The code had bugs that would cause crashes if NULL was passed as that argument (originally intended to mean not to bother returning its value), and after inspection it turns out that nothing seems interested in the case that *ts is NULL anyway. Therefore, remove the partial checks intended to support that case. Author: Michael Paquier though I didn't include a proposed Assert. Backpatch to 9.5.
* Fix plpython crash when returning string representation of a RECORD result.Tom Lane2015-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PLyString_ToComposite() blithely overwrote proc->result.out.d, even though for a composite result type the other union variant proc->result.out.r is the one that should be valid. This could result in a crash if out.r had in fact been filled in (proc->result.is_rowtype == 1) and then somebody later attempted to use that data; as per bug #13579 from Paweł Michalak. Just to add insult to injury, it didn't work for RECORD results anyway, because record_in() would refuse the case. Fix by doing the I/O function lookup in a local PLyTypeInfo variable, as we were doing already in PLyObject_ToComposite(). This is not a great technique because any fn_extra data allocated by the input function will be leaked permanently (thanks to using TopMemoryContext as fn_mcxt). But that's a pre-existing issue that is much less serious than a crash, so leave it to be fixed separately. This bug would be a potential security issue, except that plpython is only available to superusers and the crash requires coding the function in a way that didn't work before today's patches. Add regression test cases covering all the supported methods of converting composite results. Back-patch to 9.1 where the faulty coding was introduced.
* Allow record_in() and record_recv() to work for transient record types.Tom Lane2015-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have the typmod that identifies a registered record type, there's no reason that record_in() should refuse to perform input conversion for it. Now, in direct SQL usage, record_in() will always be passed typmod = -1 with type OID RECORDOID, because no typmodin exists for type RECORD, so the case can't arise. However, some InputFunctionCall users such as PLs may be able to supply the right typmod, so we should allow this to support them. Note: the previous coding and comment here predate commit 59c016aa9f490b53. There has been no case since 8.1 in which the passed type OID wouldn't be valid; and if it weren't, this error message wouldn't be apropos anyway. Better to let lookup_rowtype_tupdesc complain about it. Back-patch to 9.1, as this is necessary for my upcoming plpython fix. I'm committing it separately just to make it a bit more visible in the commit history.
* Rename 'cmd' to 'cmd_name' in CreatePolicyStmtStephen Frost2015-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | To avoid confusion, rename CreatePolicyStmt's 'cmd' to 'cmd_name', parse_policy_command's 'cmd' to 'polcmd', and AlterPolicy's 'cmd_datum' to 'polcmd_datum', per discussion with Noah and as a follow-up to his correction of copynodes/equalnodes handling of the CreatePolicyStmt 'cmd' field. Back-patch to 9.5 where the CreatePolicyStmt was introduced, as we are still only in alpha.
* In AlterRole, make bypassrls an intStephen Frost2015-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reworking bypassrls in AlterRole to operate the same way the other attribute handling is done, I missed that the variable was incorrectly a bool rather than an int. This meant that on platforms with an unsigned char, we could end up with incorrect behavior during ALTER ROLE. Pointed out by Andres thanks to tests he did changing our bool to be the one from stdbool.h which showed this and a number of other issues. Add regression tests to test CREATE/ALTER role for the various role attributes. Arrange to leave roles behind for testing pg_dumpall, but none which have the LOGIN attribute. Back-patch to 9.5 where the AlterRole bug exists.
* Fix bug in calculations of hash join buckets.Kevin Grittner2015-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8cce08f168481c5fc5be4e7e29b968e314f1b41e used a left-shift on a literal of 1 that could (in large allocations) be shifted by 31 or more bits. This was assigned to a local variable that was already declared to be a long to protect against overruns of int, but the literal in this shift needs to be declared long to allow it to work correctly in some compilers. Backpatch to 9.5, where the bug was introduced. Report and patch by KaiGai Kohei, slighly modified based on discussion.
* Fix a few bogus statement type names in plpgsql error messages.Tom Lane2015-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | plpgsql's error location context messages ("PL/pgSQL function fn-name line line-no at stmt-type") would misreport a CONTINUE statement as being an EXIT, and misreport a MOVE statement as being a FETCH. These are clear bugs that have been there a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. In addition, in 9.5 and HEAD, change the description of EXECUTE from "EXECUTE statement" to just plain EXECUTE; there seems no good reason why this statement type should be described differently from others that have a well-defined head keyword. And distinguish GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS from plain GET DIAGNOSTICS. These are a bit more of a judgment call, and also affect existing regression-test outputs, so I did not back-patch into stable branches. Pavel Stehule and Tom Lane
* psql: Make EXECUTE PROCEDURE tab completion a bit narrower.Robert Haas2015-08-18
| | | | | | | If the user has typed GRANT EXECUTE, the correct completion is "ON", not "PROCEDURE". Daniel Verite
* Repair unsafe use of shared typecast-lookup table in plpgsql DO blocks.Tom Lane2015-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DO blocks use private simple_eval_estates to avoid intra-transaction memory leakage, cf commit c7b849a89. I had forgotten about that while writing commit 0fc94a5ba, but it means that expression execution trees created within a DO block disappear immediately on exiting the DO block, and hence can't safely be linked into plpgsql's session-wide cast hash table. To fix, give a DO block a private cast hash table to go with its private simple_eval_estate. This is less efficient than one could wish, since DO blocks can no longer share any cast lookup work with other plpgsql execution, but it shouldn't be too bad; in any case it's no worse than what happened in DO blocks before commit 0fc94a5ba. Per bug #13571 from Feike Steenbergen. Preliminary analysis by Oleksandr Shulgin.
* Correct type of waitMode variable in ExecInsertIndexTuples().Andres Freund2015-08-15
| | | | | | | | | It was a bool, even though it should be CEOUC_WAIT_MODE. That's unlikely to have a negative effect with the current definition of bool (char), but it's definitely wrong. Discussion: 20150812084351.GD8470@awork2.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.5, where ON CONFLICT was merged
* vacuumdb: Don't assign negative values to a boolean.Andres Freund2015-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | Since a17923204736 (vacuumdb: enable parallel mode) -1 has been assigned to a boolean. That can, justifiedly, trigger compiler warnings. There's also no need for ternary logic, result was only ever set to 0 or -1. So don't. Discussion: 20150812084351.GD8470@awork2.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.5
* Don't use 'bool' as a struct member name in help_config.c.Andres Freund2015-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Doing so doesn't work if bool is a macro rather than a typedef. Although c.h spends some effort to support configurations where bool is a preexisting macro, help_config.c has existed this way since 2003 (b700a6), and there have not been any reports of problems. Backpatch anyway since this is as riskless as it gets. Discussion: 20150812084351.GD8470@awork2.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.0-master
* Use the correct type for TableInfo->relreplident.Andres Freund2015-08-15
| | | | | | | | Mistakenly relreplident was stored as a bool. That works today as c.h typedefs bool to a char, but isn't very future proof. Discussion: 20150812084351.GD8470@awork2.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.4 where replica identity was introduced.
* Encoding PG_UHC is code page 949.Noah Misch2015-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | This fixes presentation of non-ASCII messages to the Windows event log and console in rare cases involving Korean locale. Processes like the postmaster and checkpointer, but not processes attached to databases, were affected. Back-patch to 9.4, where MessageEncoding was introduced. The problem exists in all supported versions, but this change has no effect in the absence of the code recognizing PG_UHC MessageEncoding. Noticed while investigating bug #13427 from Dmitri Bourlatchkov.
* Restore old pgwin32_message_to_UTF16() behavior outside transactions.Noah Misch2015-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 49c817eab78c6f0ce8c3bf46766b73d6cf3190b7 replaced with a hard error the dubious pg_do_encoding_conversion() behavior when outside a transaction. Reintroduce the historic soft failure locally within pgwin32_message_to_UTF16(). This fixes errors when writing messages in less-common encodings to the Windows event log or console. Back-patch to 9.4, where the aforementioned commit first appeared. Per bug #13427 from Dmitri Bourlatchkov.
* MSVC: Exclude 'brin' contrib moduleAlvaro Herrera2015-08-13
| | | | The build script is not able to parse the Makefile, so remove it.
* Re-add BRIN isolation testAlvaro Herrera2015-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | This time, instead of using a core isolation test, put it on its own test module; this way it can require the pageinspect module to be present before running. The module's Makefile is loosely modeled after test_decoding's, so that it's easy to add further tests for either pg_regress or isolationtester later. Backpatch to 9.5.
* Improve regression test case to avoid depending on system catalog stats.Tom Lane2015-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 95f4e59c32866716 I added a regression test case that examined the plan of a query on system catalogs. That isn't a terribly great idea because the catalogs tend to change from version to version, or even within a version if someone makes an unrelated regression-test change that populates the catalogs a bit differently. Usually I try to make planner test cases rely on test tables that have not changed since Berkeley days, but I got sloppy in this case because the submitted crasher example queried the catalogs and I didn't spend enough time on rewriting it. But it was a problem waiting to happen, as I was rudely reminded when I tried to port that patch into Salesforce's Postgres variant :-(. So spend a little more effort and rewrite the query to not use any system catalogs. I verified that this version still provokes the Assert if 95f4e59c32866716's code fix is reverted. I also removed the EXPLAIN output from the test, as it turns out that the assertion occurs while considering a plan that isn't the one ultimately selected anyway; so there's no value in risking any cross-platform variation in that printout. Back-patch to 9.2, like the previous patch.
* Fix declaration of isarray variable.Michael Meskes2015-08-13
| | | | Found and fixed by Andres Freund.
* Fix unitialized variablesAlvaro Herrera2015-08-13
| | | | | | | | | As complained by clang, reported by Andres Freund. Brown paper bag bug in ccc4c074994d. Add some comments, too. Backpatch to 9.5, like that one.
* Undo mistaken tightening in join_is_legal().Tom Lane2015-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the changes I made in commit 8703059c6b55c427 turns out not to have been such a good idea: we still need the exception in join_is_legal() that allows a join if both inputs already overlap the RHS of the special join we're checking. Otherwise we can miss valid plans, and might indeed fail to find a plan at all, as in recent report from Andreas Seltenreich. That code was added way back in commit c17117649b9ae23d, but I failed to include a regression test case then; my bad. Put it back with a better explanation, and a test this time. The logic does end up a bit different than before though: I now believe it's appropriate to make this check first, thereby allowing such a case whether or not we'd consider the previous SJ(s) to commute with this one. (Presumably, we already decided they did; but it was confusing to have this consideration in the middle of the code that was handling the other case.) Back-patch to all active branches, like the previous patch.
* Close some holes in BRIN page assignmentAlvaro Herrera2015-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some corner cases, it is possible for the BRIN index relation to be extended by brin_getinsertbuffer but the new page not be used immediately for anything by its callers; when this happens, the page is initialized and the FSM is updated (by brin_getinsertbuffer) with the info about that page, but these actions are not WAL-logged. A later index insert/update can use the page, but since the page is already initialized, the initialization itself is not WAL-logged then either. Replay of this sequence of events causes recovery to fail altogether. There is a related corner case within brin_getinsertbuffer itself, in which we extend the relation to put a new index tuple there, but later find out that we cannot do so, and do not return the buffer; the page obtained from extension is not even initialized. The resulting page is lost forever. To fix, shuffle the code so that initialization is not the responsibility of brin_getinsertbuffer anymore, in normal cases; instead, the initialization is done by its callers (brin_doinsert and brin_doupdate) once they're certain that the page is going to be used. When either those functions determine that the new page cannot be used, before bailing out they initialize the page as an empty regular page, enter it in FSM and WAL-log all this. This way, the page is usable for future index insertions, and WAL replay doesn't find trying to insert tuples in pages whose initialization didn't make it to the WAL. The same strategy is used in brin_getinsertbuffer when it cannot return the new page. Additionally, add a new step to vacuuming so that all pages of the index are scanned; whenever an uninitialized page is found, it is initialized as empty and WAL-logged. This closes the hole that the relation is extended but the system crashes before anything is WAL-logged about it. We also take this opportunity to update the FSM, in case it has gotten out of date. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas for finding the problem that kicked some additional analysis of BRIN page assignment code. Backpatch to 9.5, where BRIN was introduced.

* Handle PQresultErrorField(PG_DIAG_SQLSTATE) returning NULL in streamutil.c.Andres Freund2015-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | In ff27db5d I missed that PQresultErrorField() may return NULL if there's no sqlstate associated with an error. Spotted-By: Coverity Reported-By: Michael Paquier Discussion: CAB7nPqQ3o10SY6NVdU4pjq85GQTN5tbbkq2gnNUh2fBNU3rKyQ@mail.gmail.com Backpatch: 9.5, like ff27db5d
* Fix two off-by-one errors in bufmgr.c.Andres Freund2015-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 4b4b680c I passed a buffer index number (starting from 0) instead of a proper Buffer id (which start from 1 for shared buffers) in two places. This wasn't noticed so far as one of those locations isn't compiled at all (PrintPinnedBufs) and the other one (InvalidBuffer) requires a unlikely, but possible, set of circumstances to trigger a symptom. To reduce the likelihood of such incidents a bit also convert existing open coded mappings from buffer descriptors to buffer ids with BufferDescriptorGetBuffer(). Author: Qingqing Zhou Reported-By: Qingqing Zhou Discussion: CAJjS0u2ai9ooUisKtkV8cuVUtEkMTsbK8c7juNAjv8K11zeCQg@mail.gmail.com Backpatch: 9.5 where the private ref count infrastructure was introduced
* Fix some possible low-memory failures in regexp compilation.Tom Lane2015-08-12
| | | | | | | | | newnfa() failed to set the regex error state when malloc() fails. Several places in regcomp.c failed to check for an error after calling subre(). Each of these mistakes could lead to null-pointer-dereference crashes in memory-starved backends. Report and patch by Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to all branches.

* Fix privilege dumping from servers too old to have that type of privilege.Tom Lane2015-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_dump produced fairly silly GRANT/REVOKE commands when dumping types from pre-9.2 servers, and when dumping functions or procedural languages from pre-7.3 servers. Those server versions lack the typacl, proacl, and/or lanacl columns respectively, and pg_dump substituted default values that were in fact incorrect. We ended up revoking all the owner's own privileges for the object while granting all privileges to PUBLIC. Of course the owner would then have those privileges again via PUBLIC, so long as she did not try to revoke PUBLIC's privileges; which may explain the lack of field reports. Nonetheless this is pretty silly behavior. The stakes were raised by my recent patch to make pg_dump dump shell types, because 9.2 and up pg_dump would proceed to emit bogus GRANT/REVOKE commands for a shell type if dumping from a pre-9.2 server; and the server will not accept GRANT/REVOKE commands for a shell type. (Perhaps it should, but that's a topic for another day.) So the resulting dump script wouldn't load without errors. The right thing to do is to act as though these objects have default privileges (null ACL entries), which causes pg_dump to print no GRANT/REVOKE commands at all for them. That fixes the silly results and also dodges the problem with shell types. In passing, modify getProcLangs() to be less creatively different about how to handle missing columns when dumping from older server versions. Every other data-acquisition function in pg_dump does that by substituting appropriate default values in the version-specific SQL commands, and I see no reason why this one should march to its own drummer. Its use of "SELECT *" was likewise not conformant with anyplace else, not to mention it's not considered good SQL style for production queries. Back-patch to all supported versions. Although 9.0 and 9.1 pg_dump don't have the issue with typacl, they are more likely than newer versions to be used to dump from ancient servers, so we ought to fix the proacl/lanacl issues all the way back.
* Accept alternate spellings of __sparcv7 and __sparcv8.Tom Lane2015-08-10

* Further mucking with PlaceHolderVar-related restrictions on join order.Tom Lane2015-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 85e5e222b1dd02f135a8c3bf387d0d6d88e669bd turns out not to have taken care of all cases of the partially-evaluatable-PlaceHolderVar problem found by Andreas Seltenreich's fuzz testing. I had set it up to check for risky PHVs only in the event that we were making a star-schema-based exception to the param_source_rels join ordering heuristic. However, it turns out that the problem can occur even in joins that satisfy the param_source_rels heuristic, in which case allow_star_schema_join() isn't consulted. Refactor so that we check for risky PHVs whenever the proposed join has any remaining parameterization. Back-patch to 9.2, like the previous patch (except for the regression test case, which only works back to 9.3 because it uses LATERAL). Note that this discovery implies that problems of this sort could've occurred in 9.2 and up even before the star-schema patch; though I've not tried to prove that experimentally.
* Temporarily(?) remove BRIN isolation test.Tom Lane2015-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2834855cb added a not-very-carefully-thought-out isolation test to check a BRIN index bug fix. The test depended on the availability of the pageinspect contrib module, which meant it did not work in several common testing scenarios such as "make check-world". It's not clear whether we want a core test depending on a contrib module like that, but in any case, failing to deal with the possibility that the module isn't present in the installation-under-test is not acceptable. Remove that test pending some better solution.
* Fix copy & paste mistake in pg_get_replication_slots().Andres Freund2015-08-10

* Remove gram.y's precedence declaration for OVERLAPS.Tom Lane2015-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The allowed syntax for OVERLAPS, viz "row OVERLAPS row", is sufficiently constrained that we don't actually need a precedence declaration for OVERLAPS; indeed removing this declaration does not change the generated gram.c file at all. Let's remove it to avoid confusion about whether OVERLAPS has precedence or not. If we ever generalize what we allow for OVERLAPS, we might need to put back a precedence declaration for it, but we might want some other level than what it has today --- and leaving the declaration there would just risk confusion about whether that would be an incompatible change. Likewise, remove OVERLAPS from the documentation's precedence table. Per discussion with Noah Misch. Back-patch to 9.5 where we hacked up some nearby precedence decisions.
* Fix broken multibyte regression tests.Tatsuo Ishii2015-08-09
| | | | | | | | | commit 9043Fe390f4f0b4586cfe59cbd22314b9c3e2957 broke multibyte regression tests because the commit removes the warning message when temporary hash indexes is created, which has been added by commit 07af523870bcfe930134054febd3a6a114942e5b. Back patched to 9.5 stable tree.
* Further adjustments to PlaceHolderVar removal.Tom Lane2015-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new test case from Andreas Seltenreich showed that we were still a bit confused about removing PlaceHolderVars during join removal. Specifically, remove_rel_from_query would remove a PHV that was used only underneath the removable join, even if the place where it's used was the join partner relation and not the join clause being deleted. This would lead to a "too late to create a new PlaceHolderInfo" error later on. We can defend against that by checking ph_eval_at to see if the PHV could possibly be getting used at some partner rel. Also improve some nearby LATERAL-related logic. I decided that the check on ph_lateral needed to take precedence over the check on ph_needed, in case there's a lateral reference underneath the join being considered. (That may be impossible, but I'm not convinced of it, and it's easy enough to defend against the case.) Also, I realized that remove_rel_from_query's logic for updating LateralJoinInfos is dead code, because we don't build those at all until after join removal. Back-patch to 9.3. Previous versions didn't have the LATERAL issues, of course, and they also didn't attempt to remove PlaceHolderInfos during join removal. (I'm starting to wonder if changing that was really such a great idea.)

* Fix old oversight in join removal logic.Tom Lane2015-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9e7e29c75ad441450f9b8287bd51c13521641e3b introduced an Assert that join removal didn't reduce the eval_at set of any PlaceHolderVar to empty. At first glance it looks like join_is_removable ensures that's true --- but actually, the loop in join_is_removable skips PlaceHolderVars that are not referenced above the join due to be removed. So, if we don't want any empty eval_at sets, the right thing to do is to delete any now-unreferenced PlaceHolderVars from the data structure entirely. Per fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to 9.3 where the aforesaid Assert was added.
* Fix eclass_useful_for_merging to give valid results for appendrel children.Tom Lane2015-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, this function would always return "true" for an appendrel child relation, because it would think that the appendrel parent was a potential join target for the child. In principle that should only lead to some inefficiency in planning, but fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich disclosed that it could lead to "could not find pathkey item to sort" planner errors in odd corner cases. Specifically, we would think that all columns of a child table's multicolumn index were interesting pathkeys, causing us to generate a MergeAppend path that sorts by all the columns. However, if any of those columns weren't actually used above the level of the appendrel, they would not get added to that rel's targetlist, which would result in being unable to resolve the MergeAppend's sort keys against its targetlist during createplan.c. Backpatch to 9.3. In older versions, columns of an appendrel get added to its targetlist even if they're not mentioned above the scan level, so that the failure doesn't occur. It might be worth back-patching this fix to older versions anyway, but I'll refrain for the moment.
* Further fixes for degenerate outer join clauses.Tom Lane2015-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Further testing revealed that commit f69b4b9495269cc4 was still a few bricks shy of a load: minor tweaking of the previous test cases resulted in the same wrong-outer-join-order problem coming back. After study I concluded that my previous changes in make_outerjoininfo() were just accidentally masking the problem, and should be reverted in favor of forcing syntactic join order whenever an upper outer join's predicate doesn't mention a lower outer join's LHS. This still allows the chained-outer-joins style that is the normally optimizable case. I also tightened things up some more in join_is_legal(). It seems to me on review that what's really happening in the exception case where we ignore a mismatched special join is that we're allowing the proposed join to associate into the RHS of the outer join we're comparing it to. As such, we should *always* insist that the proposed join be a left join, which eliminates a bunch of rather dubious argumentation. The case where we weren't enforcing that was the one that was already known buggy anyway (it had a violatable Assert before the aforesaid commit) so it hardly deserves a lot of deference. Back-patch to all active branches, like the previous patch. The added regression test case failed in all branches back to 9.1, and I think it's only an unrelated change in costing calculations that kept 9.0 from choosing a broken plan.
* Fix incorrect calculation in shm_mq_receive.Robert Haas2015-08-06
