* Use the right interpreter for encoding test.Andrew Dunstan2011-11-26

* Use the preferred version of xsubpp, not necessarily the one that came with theAndrew Dunstan2011-11-26
| | | | | | | | | distro version of perl. David Wheeler and Alex Hunsaker. Backpatch to 9.1 where it applies cleanly. A simple workaround is available for earlier branches, and further effort doesn't seem warranted.
* Ensure plperl strings are always correctly UTF8 encoded.Andrew Dunstan2011-11-26
| | | | | | Amit Khandekar and Alex Hunsaker. Backpatched to 9.1 where the problem first occurred.
* Allow pg_upgrade to upgrade clusters that use exclusion contraints byBruce Momjian2011-11-25
| | | | | | fixing pg_dump to properly preserve such indexes. Backpatch to 9.1 and 9.0 (where the bug was introduced).
* Fix erroneous replay of GIN_UPDATE_META_PAGE WAL records.Tom Lane2011-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A simple thinko in ginRedoUpdateMetapage, namely failing to increment a loop counter, led to inserting records into the last pending-list page in the wrong order (the opposite of that intended). So far as I can tell, this would not upset the code that eventually flushes pending items into the main part of the GIN index. But it did break the code that searched the pending list for matches, resulting in transient failure to find matching entries during index lookups, as illustrated in bug #6307 from Maksym Boguk. Back-patch to 8.4 where the incorrect code was introduced.
* Preserve SQLSTATE when an SPI error is propagated through PL/pythonHeikki Linnakangas2011-11-24
| | | | | | | exception handler. This was a regression in 9.1, when the capability to catch specific SPI errors was added, so backpatch to 9.1. Mika Eloranta, with some editing by Jan Urbański.
* Avoid floating-point underflow while tracking buffer allocation rate.Tom Lane2011-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the system is idle for awhile after activity, the "smoothed_alloc" state variable in BgBufferSync converges slowly to zero. With standard IEEE float arithmetic this results in several iterations with denormalized values, which causes kernel traps and annoying log messages on some poorly-designed platforms. There's no real need to track such small values of smoothed_alloc, so we can prevent the kernel traps by forcing it to zero as soon as it's too small to be interesting for our purposes. This issue is purely cosmetic, since the iterations don't happen fast enough for the kernel traps to pose any meaningful performance problem, but still it seems worth shutting up the log messages. The kernel log messages were previously reported by a number of people, but kudos to Greg Matthews for tracking down exactly where they were coming from.

* Don't elide blank lines when accumulating psql command history.Robert Haas2011-11-15
| | | | | | | This can change the meaning of queries, if the blank line happens to occur in the middle of a quoted literal, as per complaint from Tomas Vondra. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* In plpgsql, allow foreign tables to define row types.Tom Lane2011-11-12
| | | | | | | | | This seems to have been just an oversight in previous foreign-table work. A quick grep didn't turn up any other places where RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE was obviously omitted. One change noted by Alexander Soudakov, the other by me. Back-patch to 9.1.
* Throw nice error if server is too old to support psql's \ef or \sf command.Tom Lane2011-11-10
| | | | | | | | Previously, you'd get "function pg_catalog.pg_get_functiondef(integer) does not exist", which is at best rather unprofessional-looking. Back-patch to 8.4 where \ef was introduced. Josh Kupershmidt
* Avoid platform-dependent infinite loop in pg_dump.Tom Lane2011-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | If malloc(0) returns NULL, the binary search in findSecLabels() will probably go into an infinite loop when there are no security labels, because NULL-1 is greater than NULL after wraparound. (We've seen this pathology before ... I wonder whether there's a way to detect the class of bugs automatically?) Diagnosis and patch by Steve Singer, cosmetic adjustments by me
* Fix server header file installation with vpath buildsPeter Eisentraut2011-11-10
| | | | | Several server header files would not be installed in vpath builds because they live in the build directory.
* Only install the extension files for the current Python major versionPeter Eisentraut2011-11-09

* Fix random discrepancies between parallel_schedule and serial_schedule.Tom Lane2011-11-08
| | | | | | | | In particular, my previous patch expected the create_index test to run before the inherit test; but this was only true in the serial schedule. Rearrange this portion of the schedules to be more consistent. Per buildfarm results.
* Wrap appendrel member outputs in PlaceHolderVars in additional cases.Tom Lane2011-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add PlaceHolderVar wrappers as needed to make UNION ALL sub-select output expressions appear non-constant and distinct from each other. This makes the world safe for add_child_rel_equivalences to do what it does. Before, it was possible for that function to add identical expressions to different EquivalenceClasses, which logically should imply merging such ECs, which would be wrong; or to improperly add a constant to an EquivalenceClass, drastically changing its behavior. Per report from Teodor Sigaev. The only currently known consequence of this bug is "MergeAppend child's targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend" planner failures in 9.1 and later. I am suspicious that there may be other failure modes that could affect older release branches; but in the absence of any hard evidence, I'll refrain from back-patching further than 9.1.
* Make DatumGetInetP() unpack inet datums with a 1-byte header, and addHeikki Linnakangas2011-11-08
| | | | | | | a new macro, DatumGetInetPP(), that does not. This brings these macros in line with other DatumGet*P() macros. Backpatch to 8.3, where 1-byte header varlenas were introduced.
* Don't assume that a tuple's header size is unchanged during toasting.Tom Lane2011-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This assumption can be wrong when the toaster is passed a raw on-disk tuple, because the tuple might pre-date an ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN operation that added columns without rewriting the table. In such a case the tuple's natts value is smaller than what we expect from the tuple descriptor, and so its t_hoff value could be smaller too. In fact, the tuple might not have a null bitmap at all, and yet our current opinion of it is that it contains some trailing nulls. In such a situation, toast_insert_or_update did the wrong thing, because to save a few lines of code it would use the old t_hoff value as the offset where heap_fill_tuple should start filling data. This did not leave enough room for the new nulls bitmap, with the result that the first few bytes of data could be overwritten with null flag bits, as in a recent report from Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski. The particular case reported requires ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN followed by CREATE TABLE AS SELECT * FROM ... or INSERT ... SELECT * FROM ..., and further requires that there be some out-of-line toasted fields in one of the tuples to be copied; else we'll not reach the troublesome code. The problem can only manifest in this form in 8.4 and later, because before commit a77eaa6a95009a3441e0d475d1980259d45da072, CREATE TABLE AS or INSERT/SELECT wouldn't result in raw disk tuples getting passed directly to heap_insert --- there would always have been at least a junkfilter in between, and that would reconstitute the tuple header with an up-to-date t_natts and hence t_hoff. But I'm backpatching the tuptoaster change all the way anyway, because I'm not convinced there are no older code paths that present a similar risk.
* Fix inline_set_returning_function() to allow multiple OUT parameters.Tom Lane2011-11-03
| | | | | | | | inline_set_returning_function failed to distinguish functions returning generic RECORD (which require a column list in the RTE, as well as run-time type checking) from those with multiple OUT parameters (which do not). This prevented inlining from happening. Per complaint from Jay Levitt. Back-patch to 8.4 where this capability was introduced.
* Fix handling of PlaceHolderVars in nestloop parameter management.Tom Lane2011-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If we use a PlaceHolderVar from the outer relation in an inner indexscan, we need to reference the PlaceHolderVar as such as the value to be passed in from the outer relation. The previous code effectively tried to reconstruct the PHV from its component expression, which doesn't work since (a) the Vars therein aren't necessarily bubbled up far enough, and (b) it would be the wrong semantics anyway because of the possibility that the PHV is supposed to have gone to null at some point before the current join. Point (a) led to "variable not found in subplan target list" planner errors, but point (b) would have led to silently wrong answers. Per report from Roger Niederland.
* Revert "Stop btree indexscans upon reaching nulls in either direction."Tom Lane2011-11-02
| | | | | | | This reverts commit 048fffed55ff1d6d346130e4a6b7be434e81e82c. As pointed out by Naoya Anzai, we need to do more work to make that idea handle end-of-index cases, and it is looking like too much risk for a back-patch. So bug #6278 is only going to be fixed in HEAD.
* Derive oldestActiveXid at correct time for Hot Standby.Simon Riggs2011-11-02
| | | | | | | | | There was a timing window between when oldestActiveXid was derived and when it should have been derived that only shows itself under heavy load. Move code around to ensure correct timing of derivation. No change to StartupSUBTRANS() code, which is where this failed. Bug report by Chris Redekop
* Start Hot Standby faster when initial snapshot is incomplete.Simon Riggs2011-11-02
| | | | | | | | | If the initial snapshot had overflowed then we can start whenever the latest snapshot is empty, not overflowed or as we did already, start when the xmin on primary was higher than xmax of our starting snapshot, which proves we have full snapshot data. Bug report by Chris Redekop

* Fix race condition with toast table access from a stale syscache entry.Tom Lane2011-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a tuple in a syscache contains an out-of-line toasted field, and we try to fetch that field shortly after some other transaction has committed an update or deletion of the tuple, there is a race condition: vacuum could come along and remove the toast tuples before we can fetch them. This leads to transient failures like "missing chunk number 0 for toast value NNNNN in pg_toast_2619", as seen in recent reports from Andrew Hammond and Tim Uckun. The design idea of syscache is that access to stale syscache entries should be prevented by relation-level locks, but that fails for at least two cases where toasted fields are possible: ANALYZE updates pg_statistic rows without locking out sessions that might want to plan queries on the same table, and CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION updates pg_proc rows without any meaningful lock at all. The least risky fix seems to be an idea that Heikki suggested when we were dealing with a related problem back in August: forcibly detoast any out-of-line fields before putting a tuple into syscache in the first place. This avoids the problem because at the time we fetch the parent tuple from the catalog, we should be holding an MVCC snapshot that will prevent removal of the toast tuples, even if the parent tuple is outdated immediately after we fetch it. (Note: I'm not convinced that this statement holds true at every instant where we could be fetching a syscache entry at all, but it does appear to hold true at the times where we could fetch an entry that could have a toasted field. We will need to be a bit wary of adding toast tables to low-level catalogs that don't have them already.) An additional benefit is that subsequent uses of the syscache entry should be faster, since they won't have to detoast the field. Back-patch to all supported versions. The problem is significantly harder to reproduce in pre-9.0 releases, because of their willingness to flush every entry in a syscache whenever the underlying catalog is vacuumed (cf CatalogCacheFlushRelation); but there is still a window for trouble.
* Stop btree indexscans upon reaching nulls in either direction.Tom Lane2011-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | The existing scan-direction-sensitive tests were overly complex, and failed to stop the scan in cases where it's perfectly legitimate to do so. Per bug #6278 from Maksym Boguk. Back-patch to 8.3, which is as far back as the patch applies easily. Doesn't seem worth sweating over a relatively minor performance issue in 8.2 at this late date. (But note that this was a performance regression from 8.1 and before, so 8.2 is being left as an outlier.)
* Fix assorted bogosities in cash_in() and cash_out().Tom Lane2011-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | cash_out failed to handle multiple-byte thousands separators, as per bug #6277 from Alexander Law. In addition, cash_in didn't handle that either, nor could it handle multiple-byte positive_sign. Both routines failed to support multiple-byte mon_decimal_point, which I did not think was worth changing, but at least now they check for the possibility and fall back to using '.' rather than emitting invalid output. Also, make cash_in handle trailing negative signs, which formerly it would reject. Since cash_out generates trailing negative signs whenever the locale tells it to, this last omission represents a fail-to-reload-dumped-data bug. IMO that justifies patching this all the way back.
* Update docs to point to the timezone library's new home at IANA.Tom Lane2011-10-27
| | | | | The recent unpleasantness with copyrights has accelerated a move that was already in planning.
* Change FK trigger creation order to better support self-referential FKs.Tom Lane2011-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a foreign-key constraint references another column of the same table, row updates will queue both the PK's ON UPDATE action and the FK's CHECK action in the same event. The ON UPDATE action must execute first, else the CHECK will check a non-final state of the row and possibly throw an inappropriate error, as seen in bug #6268 from Roman Lytovchenko. Now, the firing order of multiple triggers for the same event is determined by the sort order of their pg_trigger.tgnames, and the auto-generated names we use for FK triggers are "RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN" where NNNN is the trigger OID. So most of the time the firing order is the same as creation order, and so rearranging the creation order fixes it. This patch will fail to fix the problem if the OID counter wraps around or adds a decimal digit (eg, from 99999 to 100000) while we are creating the triggers for an FK constraint. Given the small odds of that, and the low usage of self-referential FKs, we'll live with that solution in the back branches. A better fix is to change the auto-generated names for FK triggers, but it seems unwise to do that in stable branches because there may be client code that depends on the naming convention. We'll fix it that way in HEAD in a separate patch. Back-patch to all supported branches, since this bug has existed for a long time.
* Don't trust deferred-unique indexes for join removal.Tom Lane2011-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | The uniqueness condition might fail to hold intra-transaction, and assuming it does can give incorrect query results. Per report from Marti Raudsepp, though this is not his proposed patch. Back-patch to 9.0, where both these features were introduced. In the released branches, add the new IndexOptInfo field to the end of the struct, to try to minimize ABI breakage for third-party code that may be examining that struct.
* Fix overly-complicated usage of errcode_for_file_access().Heikki Linnakangas2011-10-22
| | | | | | | No need to do "errcode(errcode_for_file_access())", just "errcode_for_file_access()" is enough. The extra errcode() call is useless but harmless, so there's no user-visible bug here. Nevertheless, backpatch to 9.1 where this code were added.
* More cleanup after failed reduced-lock-levels-for-DDL feature.Tom Lane2011-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that use of ShareUpdateExclusiveLock or ShareRowExclusiveLock to protect DDL changes had gotten copied into several places that were not touched by either of Simon's original patches for the feature, and thus neither he nor I thought to revert them. (Indeed, it appears that two of these uses were committed *after* the reversion, which just goes to show that git merging is no panacea.) Change these places to use AccessExclusiveLock again. If we ever manage to resurrect that feature, we're going to have to think a bit harder about how to keep lock level usage in sync for DDL operations that aren't within the AlterTable infrastructure. Two of these bugs are only in HEAD, but one is in the 9.1 branch too. Alvaro found one of them, I found the other two.
* Fix DROP OPERATOR FAMILY IF EXISTS.Robert Haas2011-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | Essentially, the "IF EXISTS" portion was being ignored, and an error thrown anyway if the opfamily did not exist. I broke this in commit fd1843ff8979c0461fb3f1a9eab61140c977e32d; so backpatch to 9.1.X. Report and diagnosis by KaiGai Kohei.
* Simplify and improve ProcessStandbyHSFeedbackMessage logic.Tom Lane2011-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no need to clamp the standby's xmin to be greater than GetOldestXmin's result; if there were any such need this logic would be hopelessly inadequate anyway, because it fails to account for within-database versus cluster-wide values of GetOldestXmin. So get rid of that, and just rely on sanity-checking that the xmin is not wrapped around relative to the nextXid counter. Also, don't reset the walsender's xmin if the current feedback xmin is indeed out of range; that just creates more problems than we already had. Lastly, don't bother to take the ProcArrayLock; there's no need to do that to set xmin. Also improve the comments about this in GetOldestXmin itself.
* Fix memory leak in tab completion.Tom Lane2011-10-20
| | | | | This was introduced in commit e49ad77ff958b380ea6fa08c72e2dce97ac56c6b. Fixed in another, more future-proof way in HEAD.
* Fix pg_dump to dump casts between auto-generated types.Tom Lane2011-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The heuristic for when to dump a cast failed for a cast between table rowtypes, as reported by Frédéric Rejol. Fix it by setting the "dump" flag for such a type the same way as the flag is set for the underlying table or base type. This won't result in the auto-generated type appearing in the output, since setting its objType to DO_DUMMY_TYPE unconditionally suppresses that. But it will result in dumpCast doing what was intended. Back-patch to 8.3. The 8.2 code is rather different in this area, and it doesn't seem worth any risk to fix a corner case that nobody has stumbled on before.
* Exclude postmaster.opts from base backupsMagnus Hagander2011-10-18

* Fix collate.linux.utf8 expected output for recent error message change.Tom Lane2011-10-16
| | | | Noted by Jeff Davis.
* Fix bugs in information_schema.referential_constraints view.Tom Lane2011-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the FK constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key constraint. That could result in failure to show an FK constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or claiming that it depended on a different constraint than the one it really does. Fix by joining via pg_depend to ensure that we find only the correct dependency. Back-patch, but don't bump catversion because we can't force initdb in back branches. The next minor-version release notes should explain that if you need to fix this in an existing installation, you can drop the information_schema schema then re-create it by sourcing $SHAREDIR/information_schema.sql in each database (as a superuser of course).
* Fix up Perl-to-Postgres datatype conversions in pl/perl.Tom Lane2011-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch restores the pre-9.1 behavior that pl/perl functions returning VOID ignore the result value of their last Perl statement. 9.1.0 unintentionally threw an error if the last statement returned a reference, as reported by Amit Khandekar. Also, make sure it works to return a string value for a composite type, so long as the string meets the type's input format. We already allowed the equivalent behavior for arrays, so it seems inconsistent to not allow it for composites. In addition, ensure we throw errors for attempts to return arrays or hashes when the function's declared result type is not an array or composite type, respectively. Pre-9.1 versions rather uselessly returned strings like ARRAY(0x221a9a0) or HASH(0x221aa90), while 9.1.0 threw an error for the hash case and returned a garbage value for the array case. Also, clean up assorted grotty coding in Perl array conversion, including use of a session-lifespan memory context to accumulate the array value (resulting in session-lifespan memory leak on error), failure to apply the declared typmod if any, and failure to detect some cases of non-rectangular multi-dimensional arrays. Alex Hunsaker and Tom Lane
* Don't mark auto-generated types as extension members.Tom Lane2011-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Relation rowtypes and automatically-generated array types do not need to have their own extension membership dependency entries. If we create such then it becomes more difficult to remove items from an extension, and it's also harder for an extension upgrade script to make sure it duplicates the dependencies created by the extension's regular installation script. I changed the code in such a way that this happened in commit 988cccc620dd8c16d77f88ede167b22056176324, I think because of worries about the shell-type-replacement case; but that cure was worse than the disease. It would only matter if one extension created a shell type that was replaced with an auto-generated type in another extension, which seems pretty far-fetched. Better to make this work unsurprisingly in normal cases. Report and patch by Robert Haas, comment adjustments by me.
* Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql.Tom Lane2011-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file, and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo. That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to do it differently now. Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1 ... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
* Revert accidental change to pg_config_manual.h.Robert Haas2011-10-09
| | | | | | | | | This was broken in commit 53dbc27c62d8e1b6c5253feba04a5094cb8fe046, which introduced unlogged tables. Fortunately, as debugging tools go, this one is pretty cheap, which is probably why it took nine months for someone to notice, but it's not intended to be enabled by default, so revert. Noted by Fujii Masao.
* Don't let transform_null_equals=on affect CASE foo WHEN NULL ... constructs.Heikki Linnakangas2011-10-08
| | | | | | | | | transform_null_equals is only supposed to affect "foo = NULL" expressions given directly by the user, not the internal "foo = NULL" expression generated from CASE-WHEN. This fixes bug #6242, reported by Sergey. Backpatch to all supported branches.
* Ensure walsenders can be SIGTERMed while in non-walsender codeMagnus Hagander2011-10-06
| | | | | | | In oder to exit on SIGTERM when in non-walsender code, such as do_pg_stop_backup(), we need to set the interrupt variables that are used there, and not just the walsender local ones.
* Improve and simplify CREATE EXTENSION's management of GUC variables.Tom Lane2011-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CREATE EXTENSION needs to transiently set search_path, as well as client_min_messages and log_min_messages. We were doing this by the expedient of saving the current string value of each variable, doing a SET LOCAL, and then doing another SET LOCAL with the previous value at the end of the command. This is a bit expensive though, and it also fails badly if there is anything funny about the existing search_path value, as seen in a recent report from Roger Niederland. Fortunately, there's a much better way, which is to piggyback on the GUC infrastructure previously developed for functions with SET options. We just open a new GUC nesting level, do our assignments with GUC_ACTION_SAVE, and then close the nesting level when done. This automatically restores the prior settings without a re-parsing pass, so (in principle anyway) there can't be an error. And guc.c still takes care of cleanup in event of an error abort. The CREATE EXTENSION code for this was modeled on some much older code in ri_triggers.c, which I also changed to use the better method, even though there wasn't really much risk of failure there. Also improve the comments in guc.c to reflect this additional usage.
* Add sourcefile/sourceline data to EXEC_BACKEND GUC transmission files.Tom Lane2011-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | This oversight meant that on Windows, the pg_settings view would not display source file or line number information for values coming from postgresql.conf, unless the backend had received a SIGHUP since starting. In passing, also make the error detection in read_nondefault_variables a tad more thorough, and fix it to not lose precision on float GUCs (these changes are already in HEAD as of my previous commit).
* ProcedureCreate neglected to record dependencies on default expressions.Tom Lane2011-10-03
| | | | | | | Thus, an object referenced in a default expression could be dropped while the function remained present. This was unaccountably missed in the original patch to add default parameters for functions. Reported by Pavel Stehule.
