* postgres_fdw: Avoid possible misbehavior when RETURNING tableoid column only.Robert Haas2016-02-04
| | | | | | | | deparseReturningList ended up adding up RETURNING NULL to the code, but code elsewhere saw an empty list of attributes and concluded that it should not expect tuples from the remote side. Etsuro Fujita and Robert Haas, reviewed by Thom Brown
* Improve handling of collations in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2015-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have a local Var of say varchar type with default collation, and we apply a RelabelType to convert that to text with default collation, we don't want to consider that as creating an FDW_COLLATE_UNSAFE situation. It should be okay to compare that to a remote Var, so long as the remote Var determines the comparison collation. (When we actually ship such an expression to the remote side, the local Var would become a Param with default collation, meaning the remote Var would in fact control the comparison collation, because non-default implicit collation overrides default implicit collation in parse_collate.c.) To fix, be more precise about what FDW_COLLATE_NONE means: it applies either to a noncollatable data type or to a collatable type with default collation, if that collation can't be traced to a remote Var. (When it can, FDW_COLLATE_SAFE is appropriate.) We were essentially using that interpretation already at the Var/Const/Param level, but we weren't bubbling it up properly. An alternative fix would be to introduce a separate FDW_COLLATE_DEFAULT value to describe the second situation, but that would add more code without changing the actual behavior, so it didn't seem worthwhile. Also, since we're clarifying the rule to be that we care about whether operator/function input collations match, there seems no need to fail immediately upon seeing a Const/Param/non-foreign-Var with nondefault collation. We only have to reject if it appears in a collation-sensitive context (for example, "var IS NOT NULL" is perfectly safe from a collation standpoint, whatever collation the var has). So just set the state to UNSAFE rather than failing immediately. Per report from Jeevan Chalke. This essentially corrects some sloppy thinking in commit ed3ddf918b59545583a4b374566bc1148e75f593, so back-patch to 9.3 where that logic appeared.

* Revert misguided change to postgres_fdw FOR UPDATE/SHARE code.Tom Lane2014-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 462bd95705a0c23ba0b0ba60a78d32566a0384c1, I changed postgres_fdw to rely on get_plan_rowmark() instead of get_parse_rowmark(). I still think that's a good idea in the long run, but as Etsuro Fujita pointed out, it doesn't work today because planner.c forces PlanRowMarks to have markType = ROW_MARK_COPY for all foreign tables. There's no urgent reason to change this in the back branches, so let's just revert that part of yesterday's commit rather than trying to design a better solution under time pressure. Also, add a regression test case showing what postgres_fdw does with FOR UPDATE/SHARE. I'd blithely assumed there was one already, else I'd have realized yesterday that this code didn't work.
* Fix planning of SELECT FOR UPDATE on child table with partial index.Tom Lane2014-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinarily we can omit checking of a WHERE condition that matches a partial index's condition, when we are using an indexscan on that partial index. However, in SELECT FOR UPDATE we must include the "redundant" filter condition in the plan so that it gets checked properly in an EvalPlanQual recheck. The planner got this mostly right, but improperly omitted the filter condition if the index in question was on an inheritance child table. In READ COMMITTED mode, this could result in incorrectly returning just-updated rows that no longer satisfy the filter condition. The cause of the error is using get_parse_rowmark() when get_plan_rowmark() is what should be used during planning. In 9.3 and up, also fix the same mistake in contrib/postgres_fdw. It's currently harmless there (for lack of inheritance support) but wrong is wrong, and the incorrect code might get copied to someplace where it's more significant. Report and fix by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix SHLIB_PREREQS use in contrib, allowing PGXS buildsPeter Eisentraut2014-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dblink and postgres_fdw use SHLIB_PREREQS = submake-libpq to build libpq first. This doesn't work in a PGXS build, because there is no libpq to build. So just omit setting SHLIB_PREREQS in this case. Note that PGXS users can still use SHLIB_PREREQS (although it is not documented). The problem here is only that contrib modules can be built in-tree or using PGXS, and the prerequisite is only applicable in the former case. Commit 6697aa2bc25c83b88d6165340348a31328c35de6 previously attempted to address this by creating a somewhat fake submake-libpq target in Makefile.global. That was not the right fix, and it was also done in a nonportable way, so revert that.
* Fix mishandling of system columns in FDW queries.Tom Lane2014-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | postgres_fdw would send query conditions involving system columns to the remote server, even though it makes no effort to ensure that system columns other than CTID match what the remote side thinks. tableoid, in particular, probably won't match and might have some use in queries. Hence, prevent sending conditions that include non-CTID system columns. Also, create_foreignscan_plan neglected to check local restriction conditions while determining whether to set fsSystemCol for a foreign scan plan node. This again would bollix the results for queries that test a foreign table's tableoid. Back-patch the first fix to 9.3 where postgres_fdw was introduced. Back-patch the second to 9.2. The code is probably broken in 9.1 as well, but the patch doesn't apply cleanly there; given the weak state of support for FDWs in 9.1, it doesn't seem worth fixing. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Ashutosh Bapat, and somewhat modified by me
* pgindent run for 9.4Bruce Momjian2014-05-06
| | | | | This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.
* Create function prototype as part of PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macroPeter Eisentraut2014-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files, but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant. Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of compiler warnings in extension modules. We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that functions have the right prototype. Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw's remote-estimate representation of array Params.Tom Lane2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | We were emitting "(SELECT null::typename)", which is usually interpreted as a scalar subselect, but not so much in the context "x = ANY(...)". This led to remote-side parsing failures when remote_estimate is enabled. A quick and ugly fix is to stick in an extra cast step, "((SELECT null::typename)::typename)". The cast will be thrown away as redundant by parse analysis, but not before it's done its job of making sure the grammar sees the ANY argument as an a_expr rather than a select_with_parens. Per an example from Hannu Krosing.
* Fix non-equivalence of VARIADIC and non-VARIADIC function call formats.Tom Lane2014-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For variadic functions (other than VARIADIC ANY), the syntaxes foo(x,y,...) and foo(VARIADIC ARRAY[x,y,...]) should be considered equivalent, since the former is converted to the latter at parse time. They have indeed been equivalent, in all releases before 9.3. However, commit 75b39e790 made an ill-considered decision to record which syntax had been used in FuncExpr nodes, and then to make equal() test that in checking node equality --- which caused the syntaxes to not be seen as equivalent by the planner. This is the underlying cause of bug #9817 from Dmitry Ryabov. It might seem that a quick fix would be to make equal() disregard FuncExpr.funcvariadic, but the same commit made that untenable, because the field actually *is* semantically significant for some VARIADIC ANY functions. This patch instead adopts the approach of redefining funcvariadic (and aggvariadic, in HEAD) as meaning that the last argument is a variadic array, whether it got that way by parser intervention or was supplied explicitly by the user. Therefore the value will always be true for non-ANY variadic functions, restoring the principle of equivalence. (However, the planner will continue to consider use of VARIADIC as a meaningful difference for VARIADIC ANY functions, even though some such functions might disregard it.) In HEAD, this change lets us simplify the decompilation logic in ruleutils.c, since the funcvariadic/aggvariadic flag tells directly whether to print VARIADIC. However, in 9.3 we have to continue to cope with existing stored rules/views that might contain the previous definition. Fortunately, this just means no change in ruleutils.c, since its existing behavior effectively ignores funcvariadic for all cases other than VARIADIC ANY functions. In HEAD, bump catversion to reflect the fact that FuncExpr.funcvariadic changed meanings; this is sort of pro forma, since I don't believe any built-in views are affected. Unfortunately, this patch doesn't magically fix everything for affected 9.3 users. After installing 9.3.5, they might need to recreate their rules/views/indexes containing variadic function calls in order to get everything consistent with the new definition. As in the cited bug, the symptom of a problem would be failure to use a nominally matching index that has a variadic function call in its definition. We'll need to mention this in the 9.3.5 release notes.
* Don't test xmin/xmax columns of a postgres_fdw foreign table.Noah Misch2014-03-23
| | | | | | Their values are unspecified and system-dependent. Per buildfarm member kouprey.
* Offer triggers on foreign tables.Noah Misch2014-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This covers all the SQL-standard trigger types supported for regular tables; it does not cover constraint triggers. The approach for acquiring the old row mirrors that for view INSTEAD OF triggers. For AFTER ROW triggers, we spool the foreign tuples to a tuplestore. This changes the FDW API contract; when deciding which columns to populate in the slot returned from data modification callbacks, writable FDWs will need to check for AFTER ROW triggers in addition to checking for a RETURNING clause. In support of the feature addition, refactor the TriggerFlags bits and the assembly of old tuples in ModifyTable. Ronan Dunklau, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei; some additional hacking by me.
* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw to handle multiple join conditions properly.Tom Lane2014-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding supposed that it could consider just a single join condition in any one parameterized path for the foreign table. But in reality, the parameterized-path machinery forces all join clauses that are "movable to" the foreign table to be evaluated at that node; including clauses that we might not consider safe to send across. Such cases would result in an Assert failure in an assert-enabled build, and otherwise in sending an unsafe clause to the foreign server, which might result in errors or silently-wrong answers. A lesser problem was that the cost/rowcount estimates generated for the parameterized path failed to account for any additional join quals that get assigned to the scan. To fix, rewrite postgresGetForeignPaths so that it correctly collects all the movable quals for any one outer relation when generating parameterized paths; we'll now generate just one path per outer relation not one per join qual. Also fix bogus assumptions in postgresGetForeignPlan and estimate_path_cost_size that only safe-to-send join quals will be presented. Based on complaint from Etsuro Fujita that the path costs were being miscalculated, though this is significantly different from his proposed patch.
* Improve connection-failure error handling in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2014-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | postgres_fdw tended to say "unknown error" if it tried to execute a command on an already-dead connection, because some paths in libpq just return a null PGresult for such cases. Out-of-memory might result in that, too. To fix, pass the PGconn to pgfdw_report_error, and look at its PQerrorMessage() string if we can't get anything out of the PGresult. Also, fix the transaction-exit logic to reliably drop a dead connection. It was attempting to do that already, but it assumed that only connection cache entries with xact_depth > 0 needed to be examined. The folly in that is that if we fail while issuing START TRANSACTION, we'll not have bumped xact_depth. (At least for the case I was testing, this fix masks the other problem; but it still seems like a good idea to have the PGconn fallback logic.) Per investigation of bug #9087 from Craig Lucas. Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was introduced.

* Fix planner problems with LATERAL references in PlaceHolderVars.Tom Lane2013-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way in commit 4da6439bd8553059766011e2a42c6e39df08717f, but Antonin Houska pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that. Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars properly. In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need to deal with it. This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately seems reasonable.
* Improve updatability checking for views and foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the FDW API (which we already changed for 9.3) so that an FDW can report whether specific foreign tables are insertable/updatable/deletable. The default assumption continues to be that they're updatable if the relevant executor callback function is supplied by the FDW, but finer granularity is now possible. As a test case, add an "updatable" option to contrib/postgres_fdw. This patch also fixes the information_schema views, which previously did not think that foreign tables were ever updatable, and fixes view_is_auto_updatable() so that a view on a foreign table can be auto-updatable. initdb forced due to changes in information_schema views and the functions they rely on. This is a bit unfortunate to do post-beta1, but if we don't change this now then we'll have another API break for FDWs when we do change it. Dean Rasheed, somewhat editorialized on by Tom Lane
* Tweak postgres_fdw regression test so autovacuum doesn't change results.Tom Lane2013-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | Autovacuum occurring while the test runs could allow some of the inserts to go into recycled space, thus changing the output ordering of later queries. While we could complicate those queries to force sorting of their output rows, it doesn't seem like that would make the test better in any meaningful way, and conceivably it could hide unexpected diffs. Instead, tweak the affected queries so that the inserted rows aren't updated by the following UPDATE. Per buildfarm.
* pgindent run for release 9.3Bruce Momjian2013-05-29
| | | | | This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script. Also update pgindent instructions.
* Allow CREATE FOREIGN TABLE to include SERIAL columns.Tom Lane2013-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The behavior is that the required sequence is created locally, which is appropriate because the default expression will be evaluated locally. Per gripe from Brad Nicholson that this case was refused with a confusing error message. We could have improved the error message but it seems better to just allow the case. Also, remove ALTER TABLE's arbitrary prohibition against being applied to foreign tables, which was pretty inconsistent considering we allow it for views, sequences, and other relation types that aren't even called tables. This is needed to avoid breaking pg_dump, which sometimes emits column defaults using separate ALTER TABLE commands. (I think this can happen even when the default is not associated with a sequence, so that was a pre-existing bug once we allowed column defaults for foreign tables.)
* Document cross-version compatibility issues for contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-03-22
| | | | | | | | | One of the use-cases for postgres_fdw is extracting data from older PG servers, so cross-version compatibility is important. Document what we can do here, and further annotate some of the coding choices that create compatibility constraints. In passing, remove one unnecessary incompatibility with old servers, namely assuming that we didn't need to quote the timezone name 'UTC'.
* Avoid retrieving dummy NULL columns in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-03-22
| | | | | | | This should provide some marginal overall savings, since it surely takes many more cycles for the remote server to deal with the NULL columns than it takes for postgres_fdw not to emit them. But really the reason is to keep the emitted queries from looking quite so silly ...
* Redo postgres_fdw's planner code so it can handle parameterized paths.Tom Lane2013-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | I wasn't going to ship this without having at least some example of how to do that. This version isn't terribly bright; in particular it won't consider any combinations of multiple join clauses. Given the cost of executing a remote EXPLAIN, I'm not sure we want to be very aggressive about doing that, anyway. In support of this, refactor generate_implied_equalities_for_indexcol so that it can be used to extract equivalence clauses that aren't necessarily tied to an index.
* Introduce less-bogus handling of collations in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Treat expressions as being remotely executable only if all collations used in them are determined by Vars of the foreign table. This means that, if the foreign server gets different answers than we do, it's the user's fault for not having marked the foreign table columns with collations equivalent to the remote table's. This rule allows most simple expressions such as "var < 'constant'" to be sent to the remote side, because the constant isn't determining the collation (the Var's collation would win). There's still room for improvement, but it's hard to see how to do it without a lot more knowledge and/or assumptions about what the remote side will do.
* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw's handling of column defaults.Tom Lane2013-03-12
| | | | | | | | | Adopt the position that only locally-defined defaults matter. Any defaults defined in the remote database do not affect insertions performed through a foreign table (unless they are for columns not known to the foreign table). While it'd arguably be more useful to permit remote defaults to be used, making that work in a consistent fashion requires far more work than seems possible for 9.3.
* Avoid row-processing-order dependency in postgres_fdw regression test.Tom Lane2013-03-12
| | | | | | A test intended to provoke an error on the remote side was coded in such a way that multiple rows should be updated, so the output would vary depending on which one was processed first. Per buildfarm.
* Fix postgres_fdw's issues with inconsistent interpretation of data values.Tom Lane2013-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For datatypes whose output formatting depends on one or more GUC settings, we have to worry about whether the other server will interpret the value the same way it was meant. pg_dump has been aware of this hazard for a long time, but postgres_fdw needs to deal with it too. To fix data retrieval from the remote server, set the necessary remote GUC settings at connection startup. (We were already assuming that settings made then would persist throughout the remote session.) To fix data transmission to the remote server, temporarily force the relevant GUCs to the right values when we're about to convert any data values to text for transmission. This is all pretty grotty, and not very cheap either. It's tempting to think of defining one uber-GUC that would override any settings that might render printed data values unportable. But of course, older remote servers wouldn't know any such thing and would still need this logic. While at it, revert commit f7951eef89be78c50ea2241f593d76dfefe176c9, since this provides a real fix. (The timestamptz given in the error message returned from the "remote" server will now reliably be shown in UTC.)
* Avoid generating bad remote SQL for INSERT ... DEFAULT VALUES.Tom Lane2013-03-11
| | | | "INSERT INTO foo() VALUES ()" is invalid syntax, so don't do that.
* Band-aid for regression test expected-results problem with timestamptz.Tom Lane2013-03-10
| | | | | | | We probably need to tell the remote server to use specific timezone and datestyle settings, and maybe other things. But for now let's just hack the postgres_fdw regression test to not provoke failures when run in non-EST5EDT environments. Per buildfarm.
* Support writable foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic functionality there now. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov and Laurenz Albe, and rather heavily revised by Tom Lane.
* Rename postgres_fdw's use_remote_explain option to use_remote_estimate.Tom Lane2013-02-23
| | | | | The new name was originally my typo, but per discussion it seems like a better name anyway. So make the code match the docs, not vice versa.
* Fix some planning oversights in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Include eval costs of local conditions in remote-estimate mode, and don't assume the remote eval cost is zero in local-estimate mode. (The best we can do with that at the moment is to assume a seqscan, which may well be wildly pessimistic ... but zero won't do at all.) To get a reasonable local estimate, we need to know the relpages count for the remote rel, so improve the ANALYZE code to fetch that rather than just setting the foreign table's relpages field to zero.
* Fix whole-row references in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | The optimization to not retrieve unnecessary columns wasn't smart enough. Noted by Thom Brown.
* Change postgres_fdw to show casts as casts, not underlying function calls.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | On reflection this method seems to be exposing an unreasonable amount of implementation detail. It wouldn't matter when talking to a remote server of the identical Postgres version, but it seems likely to make things worse not better if the remote is a different version with different casting infrastructure. Instead adopt ruleutils.c's policy of regurgitating the cast as it was originally specified; including not showing it at all, if it was implicit to start with. (We must do that because for some datatypes explicit and implicit casts have different semantics.)
* Get rid of postgres_fdw's assumption that remote type OIDs match ours.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | The only place we depended on that was in sending numeric type OIDs in PQexecParams; but we can replace that usage with explicitly casting each Param symbol in the query string, so that the types are specified to the remote by name not OID. This makes no immediate difference but will be essential if we ever hope to support use of non-builtin types.
* Adjust postgres_fdw's search path handling.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Set the remote session's search path to exactly "pg_catalog" at session start, then schema-qualify only names that aren't in that schema. This greatly reduces clutter in the generated SQL commands, as seen in the regression test changes. Per discussion. Also, rethink use of FirstNormalObjectId as the "built-in object" cutoff --- FirstBootstrapObjectId is safer, since the former will accept objects in information_schema for instance.
* Need to decorate XactIsoLevel as PGDLLIMPORT for postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-02-21
| | | | Per buildfarm.
* Add postgres_fdw contrib module.Tom Lane2013-02-21
There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works, and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the writable-foreign-tables patch. So let's commit it and get on with testing. Shigeru Hanada, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei and Tom Lane
