* Insert CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls into btree and hash index scans at theTom Lane2009-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | points where we step right or left to the next page. This should ensure reasonable response time to a query cancel request during an unsuccessful index scan, as seen in recent gripe from Marc Cousin. It's a bit trickier than it might seem at first glance, because CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() is a no-op if executed while holding a buffer lock. So we have to do it just at the point where we've dropped one page lock and not yet acquired the next. Remove CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls at the top level of btgetbitmap and hashgetbitmap, since they're pointless given the added checks. I think that GIST is okay already --- at least, there's a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS at a plausible-looking place in gistnext(). I don't claim to know GIN well enough to try to poke it for this, if indeed it has a problem at all. This is a pre-existing issue, but in view of the lack of prior complaints I'm not going to risk back-patching.

| | | | | | | | | | | | error message if the installation directory layout is messed up (or at least, something more useful than the behavior exhibited in bug #4787). During postmaster startup, check that get_pkglib_path resolves as a readable directory; and if ParseTzFile() fails to open the expected timezone abbreviation file, check the possibility that the directory is missing rather than just the specified file. In case of either failure, issue a hint suggesting that the installation is broken. These two checks cover the lib/ and share/ trees of a full installation, which should take care of most scenarios where a sysadmin decides to get cute.

* Fix plpgsql's EXIT so that an EXIT without a label only matches a loop,Tom Lane2009-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | never a BEGIN block. This is required for Oracle compatibility and is also plainly stated to be the behavior by our original documentation (up until 8.1, in which the docs were adjusted to match the code's behavior; but actually the old docs said the correct thing and the code was wrong). Not back-patched because this introduces an incompatibility that could break working applications. Requires release note.
* Fix a couple of cases where the plpgsql grammar looked for T_WORD andTom Lane2009-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | failed to consider the possibility that it would get T_SCALAR, T_RECORD, or T_ROW instead because the word happens to match a plpgsql variable name. In particular, give "duplicate declaration" rather than generic "syntax error" if the same identifier is declared twice in the same block, as per my recent complaint. Also behave more sanely when decl_aliasitem or proc_condition or opt_lblname is coincidentally not T_WORD. Refactor the related productions a bit to reduce duplication. This is a longstanding bug, but it doesn't seem critical enough to back-patch.
* When checking for datetime field overflow, we should allow a fractional-secondTom Lane2009-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | part that rounds up to exactly 1.0 second. The previous coding rejected input like "00:12:57.9999999999999999999999999999", with the exact number of nines needed to cause failure varying depending on float-timestamp option and possibly on platform. Obviously this should round up to the next integral second, if we don't have enough precision to distinguish the value from that. Per bug #4789 from Robert Kruus. In passing, fix a missed check for fractional seconds in one copy of the "is it greater than 24:00:00" code. Broken all the way back, so patch all the way back.

It checks that all lists are in alphabetical order, and that all keywords present in gram.y are listed in kwlist.h in the right category, and that all keywords in kwlist.h are also in gram.y. What's still missing is to check that all keywords defined with "%token <keyword>" in gram.y are present in one of the keyword lists in gram.y.

* Fix the handling of sub-SELECTs appearing in the arguments of an outer-levelTom Lane2009-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | aggregate function. By definition, such a sub-SELECT cannot reference any variables of query levels between itself and the aggregate's semantic level (else the aggregate would've been assigned to that lower level instead). So the correct, most efficient implementation is to treat the sub-SELECT as being a sub-select of that outer query level, not the level the aggregate syntactically appears in. Not doing so also confuses the heck out of our parameter-passing logic, as illustrated in bug report from Daniel Grace. Fortunately, we were already copying the whole Aggref expression up to the outer query level, so all that's needed is to delay SS_process_sublinks processing of the sub-SELECT until control returns to the outer level. This has been broken since we introduced spec-compliant treatment of outer aggregates in 7.4; so patch all the way back.

* Change the default value of max_prepared_transactions to zero, and addTom Lane2009-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | documentation warnings against setting it nonzero unless active use of prepared transactions is intended and a suitable transaction manager has been installed. This should help to prevent the type of scenario we've seen several times now where a prepared transaction is forgotten and eventually causes severe maintenance problems (or even anti-wraparound shutdown). The only real reason we had the default be nonzero in the first place was to support regression testing of the feature. To still be able to do that, tweak pg_regress to force a nonzero value during "make check". Since we cannot force a nonzero value in "make installcheck", add a variant regression test "expected" file that shows the results that will be obtained when max_prepared_transactions is zero. Also, extend the HINT messages for transaction wraparound warnings to mention the possibility that old prepared transactions are causing the problem. All per today's discussion.

The homebrew functions were not getting used anyway on AIX versions that have dlopen(), that is 4.3 and up, so they are not needed on any AIX that is even remotely supported by the vendor anymore. We'd have probably left them here anyway, except some questions were raised about the copyright.

* Rethink the idea of having plpgsql depend on parser/gram.h. Aside from theTom Lane2009-04-19
| | | | | | | | | fact that this is breaking the MSVC build, it's probably not really a good idea to expand the dependencies of gram.h any further than the core parser; for instance the value of SCONST might depend on which bison version you'd built with. Better to expose an additional call point in parser.c, so move what I had put into pl_funcs.c into parser.c. Also PGDLLIMPORT'ify the reference to standard_conforming_strings, per buildfarm results.

* Fix estimate_num_groups() to not fail on PlaceHolderVars, per report fromTom Lane2009-04-19
| | | | | | | | | Stefan Kaltenbrunner. The most reasonable behavior (at least for the near term) seems to be to ignore the PlaceHolderVar and examine its argument instead. In support of this, change the API of pull_var_clause() to allow callers to request recursion into PlaceHolderVars. Currently estimate_num_groups() is the only customer for that behavior, but where there's one there may be others.
* Revise plpgsql's scanner to process comments and string literals in a wayTom Lane2009-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | more nearly matching the core SQL scanner. The user-visible effects are: * Block comments (slash-star comments) now nest, as per SQL spec. * In standard_conforming_strings mode, backslash as the last character of a non-E string literal is now correctly taken as an ordinary character; formerly it was misinterpreted as escaping the ending quote. (Since the string also had to pass through the core scanner, this invariably led to syntax errors.) * Formerly, backslashes in the format string of RAISE were always treated as quoting the next character, regardless of mode. Now, they are ordinary characters with standard_conforming_strings on, while with it off, they introduce the same set of escapes as in the core SQL scanner. Also, escape_string_warning is now effective for RAISE format strings. These changes make RAISE format strings work just like any other string literal. This is implemented by copying and pasting a lot of logic from the core scanner. It would be a good idea to look into getting rid of plpgsql's scanner entirely in favor of using the core scanner. However, that involves more change than I can justify making during beta --- in particular, the core scanner would have to become re-entrant. In passing, remove the kluge that made the plpgsql scanner emit T_FUNCTION or T_TRIGGER as a made-up first token. That presumably had some value once upon a time, but now it's just useless complication for both the scanner and the grammar.

* Fix planner to restore its previous level of intelligence about pushingTom Lane2009-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constants through full joins, as in select * from tenk1 a full join tenk1 b using (unique1) where unique1 = 42; which should generate a fairly cheap plan where we apply the constraint unique1 = 42 in each relation scan. This had been broken by my patch of 2008-06-27, which is now reverted in favor of a more invasive but hopefully less incorrect approach. That patch was meant to prevent incorrect extraction of OR'd indexclauses from OR conditions above an outer join. To do that correctly we need more information than the outerjoin_delay flag can provide, so add a nullable_relids field to RestrictInfo that records exactly which relations are nulled by outer joins that are underneath a particular qual clause. A side benefit is that we can make the test in create_or_index_quals more specific: it is now smart enough to extract an OR'd indexclause into the outer side of an outer join, even though it must not do so in the inner side. The old coding couldn't distinguish these cases so it could not do either.
