* Set query ID for inner queries of CREATE TABLE AS and DECLAREMichael Paquier2024-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some utility statements contain queries that can be planned and executed: CREATE TABLE AS and DECLARE CURSOR. This commit adds query ID computation for the inner queries executed by these two utility commands, with and without EXPLAIN. This change leads to four new callers of JumbleQuery() and post_parse_analyze_hook() so as extensions can decide what to do with this new data. Previously, extensions relying on the query ID, like pg_stat_statements, were not able to track these nested queries as the query_id was 0. For pg_stat_statements, this commit leads to additions under !toplevel when pg_stat_statements.track is set to "all", as shown in its regression tests. The output of EXPLAIN for these two utilities gains a "Query Identifier" if compute_query_id is enabled.

* Turn a few 'validnsps' static variables into localsHeikki Linnakangas2024-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There was no need for these to be static buffers, local variables work just as well. I think they were marked as 'static' to imply that they are read-only, but 'const' is more appropriate for that, so change them to const. To make it possible to mark the variables as 'const', also add 'const' decorations to the transformRelOptions() signature.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let table AM define custom reloptions for its tables. This allows specifying AM-specific parameters by the WITH clause when creating a table. The reloptions, which could be used outside of table AM, are now extracted into the CommonRdOptions data structure. These options could be by decision of table AM directly specified by a user or calculated in some way. The new test module test_tam_options evaluates the ability to set up custom reloptions and calculate fields of CommonRdOptions on their base. The code may use some parts from prior work by Hao Wu.

* In extensions, don't replace objects not belonging to the extension.Tom Lane2022-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite the object and adopt it into the extension. This is problematic, first because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we didn't change the object's ownership. Thus a hostile user could create an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be modified for trojan-horse-type attacks. Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already belongs to the extension. (Note that we've always forbidden replacing an object that belongs to some other extension; only the behavior for previously-free-standing objects changes here.) For the same reason, also fail CREATE IF NOT EXISTS when there is an existing object that doesn't belong to the extension. Our thanks to Sven Klemm for reporting this problem. Security: CVE-2022-2625

* Centralize the logic for protective copying of utility statements.Tom Lane2021-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the "simple Query" code path, it's fine for parse analysis or execution of a utility statement to scribble on the statement's node tree, since that'll just be thrown away afterwards. However it's not fine if the node tree is in the plan cache, as then it'd be corrupted for subsequent executions. Up to now we've dealt with that by having individual utility-statement functions apply copyObject() if they were going to modify the tree. But that's prone to errors of omission. Bug #17053 from Charles Samborski shows that CREATE/ALTER DOMAIN didn't get this memo, and can crash if executed repeatedly from plan cache. In the back branches, we'll just apply a narrow band-aid for that, but in HEAD it seems prudent to have a more principled fix that will close off the possibility of other similar bugs in future. Hence, let's hoist the responsibility for doing copyObject up into ProcessUtility from its children, thus ensuring that it happens for all utility statement types. Also, modify ProcessUtility's API so that its callers can tell it whether a copy step is necessary. It turns out that in all cases, the immediate caller knows whether the node tree is transient, so this doesn't involve a huge amount of code thrashing. In this way, while we lose a little bit in the execute-from-cache code path due to sometimes copying node trees that wouldn't be mutated anyway, we gain something in the simple-Query code path by not copying throwaway node trees. Statements that are complex enough to be expensive to copy are almost certainly ones that would have to be copied anyway, so the loss in the cache code path shouldn't be much. (Note that this whole problem applies only to utility statements. Optimizable statements don't have the issue because we long ago made the executor treat Plan trees as read-only. Perhaps someday we will make utility statement execution act likewise, but I'm not holding my breath.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IF NOT EXISTS was ignored when specified in an EXPLAIN query for CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW or CREATE TABLE AS. Hence, if this clause was specified, the caller would get a failure if the relation already exists instead of a success with a NOTICE message. This commit makes the behavior of IF NOT EXISTS in EXPLAIN consistent with the non-EXPLAIN'd DDL queries, preventing a failure with IF NOT EXISTS if the relation to-be-created already exists. The skip is done before the SELECT query used for the relation is planned or executed, and a "dummy" plan is generated instead depending on the format used by EXPLAIN.

* Remove INSERT privilege check at table creation of CTAS and matviewMichael Paquier2020-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per discussion with Peter Eisentraunt, the SQL standard specifies that any tuple insertion done as part of CREATE TABLE AS happens without any extra ACL check, so it makes little sense to keep a check for INSERT privileges when using WITH DATA. Materialized views are not part of the standard, but similarly, this check can be confusing as this refers to an access check on a table created within the same command as the one that would insert data into this table. This commit removes the INSERT privilege check for WITH DATA, the default, that 846005e removed partially, but only for WITH NO DATA.

* Relax INSERT privilege requirement for CTAS and matviews WITH NO DATAMichael Paquier2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When specified, WITH NO DATA does not insert any data into the relation created, so skip checking for the insert permissions. With WITH DATA or WITH NO DATA, it is always required for the user to have CREATE privileges on the schema targeted for the relation. Note that plain CREATE TABLE AS or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW queries have begun to work accidentally without INSERT privilege checks as of 874fe3ae, while using EXECUTE or EXPLAIN ANALYZE would fail with the ACL check, so this makes the behavior for all the command flavors consistent with each other. This is arguably a bug fix, but there have been no complaints about the current behavior either so stable branches are not changed. While on it, document properly the privileges requirements for each commands with more tests for all the scenarios possible, and avoid a useless bulk-insert allocation when using WITH NO DATA.

The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a CommandTagBehavior struct. Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information about completed queries in a cstring.

* Represent Lists as expansible arrays, not chains of cons-cells.Tom Lane2019-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, Postgres Lists were a more or less exact reimplementation of Lisp lists, which consist of chains of separately-allocated cons cells, each having a value and a next-cell link. We'd hacked that once before (commit d0b4399d8) to add a separate List header, but the data was still in cons cells. That makes some operations -- notably list_nth() -- O(N), and it's bulky because of the next-cell pointers and per-cell palloc overhead, and it's very cache-unfriendly if the cons cells end up scattered around rather than being adjacent. In this rewrite, we still have List headers, but the data is in a resizable array of values, with no next-cell links. Now we need at most two palloc's per List, and often only one, since we can allocate some values in the same palloc call as the List header. (Of course, extending an existing List may require repalloc's to enlarge the array. But this involves just O(log N) allocations not O(N).) Of course this is not without downsides. The key difficulty is that addition or deletion of a list entry may now cause other entries to move, which it did not before. For example, that breaks foreach() and sister macros, which historically used a pointer to the current cons-cell as loop state. We can repair those macros transparently by making their actual loop state be an integer list index; the exposed "ListCell *" pointer is no longer state carried across loop iterations, but is just a derived value. (In practice, modern compilers can optimize things back to having just one loop state value, at least for simple cases with inline loop bodies.) In principle, this is a semantics change for cases where the loop body inserts or deletes list entries ahead of the current loop index; but I found no such cases in the Postgres code. The change is not at all transparent for code that doesn't use foreach() but chases lists "by hand" using lnext(). The largest share of such code in the backend is in loops that were maintaining "prev" and "next" variables in addition to the current-cell pointer, in order to delete list cells efficiently using list_delete_cell(). However, we no longer need a previous-cell pointer to delete a list cell efficiently. Keeping a next-cell pointer doesn't work, as explained above, but we can improve matters by changing such code to use a regular foreach() loop and then using the new macro foreach_delete_current() to delete the current cell. (This macro knows how to update the associated foreach loop's state so that no cells will be missed in the traversal.) There remains a nontrivial risk of code assuming that a ListCell * pointer will remain good over an operation that could now move the list contents. To help catch such errors, list.c can be compiled with a new define symbol DEBUG_LIST_MEMORY_USAGE that forcibly moves list contents whenever that could possibly happen. This makes list operations significantly more expensive so it's not normally turned on (though it is on by default if USE_VALGRIND is on). There are two notable API differences from the previous code: * lnext() now requires the List's header pointer in addition to the current cell's address. * list_delete_cell() no longer requires a previous-cell argument. These changes are somewhat unfortunate, but on the other hand code using either function needs inspection to see if it is assuming anything it shouldn't, so it's not all bad. Programmers should be aware of these significant performance changes: * list_nth() and related functions are now O(1); so there's no major access-speed difference between a list and an array. * Inserting or deleting a list element now takes time proportional to the distance to the end of the list, due to moving the array elements. (However, it typically *doesn't* require palloc or pfree, so except in long lists it's probably still faster than before.) Notably, lcons() used to be about the same cost as lappend(), but that's no longer true if the list is long. Code that uses lcons() and list_delete_first() to maintain a stack might usefully be rewritten to push and pop at the end of the list rather than the beginning. * There are now list_insert_nth...() and list_delete_nth...() functions that add or remove a list cell identified by index. These have the data-movement penalty explained above, but there's no search penalty. * list_concat() and variants now copy the second list's data into storage belonging to the first list, so there is no longer any sharing of cells between the input lists. The second argument is now declared "const List *" to reflect that it isn't changed. This patch just does the minimum needed to get the new implementation in place and fix bugs exposed by the regression tests. As suggested by the foregoing, there's a fair amount of followup work remaining to do. Also, the ENABLE_LIST_COMPAT macros are finally removed in this commit.

* tableam: Rename wrapper functions to match callback names.Andres Freund2019-05-23

* tableam: Add table_finish_bulk_insert().Andres Freund2019-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the previous calls of heap_sync() in places using bulk-insert. By passing in the flags used for bulk-insert the AM can decide (first at insert time and then during the finish call) which of the optimizations apply to it, and what operations are necessary to finish a bulk insert operation. Also change HEAP_INSERT_* flags to TABLE_INSERT, and rename hi_options to ti_options. These changes are made even in copy.c, which hasn't yet been converted to tableam. There's no harm in doing so.

* tableam: Use in CREATE TABLE AS and CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW.Andres Freund2019-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously those directly performed a heap_insert(). Use table_insert() instead. The input slot of those routines is not of the target relation - we could fix that by copying if necessary, but that'd not be beneficial for performance. As those codepaths don't access any AM specific tuple fields (say xmin/xmax), there's no need to use an AM specific slot.

* tableam: introduce table AM infrastructure.Andres Freund2019-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces the concept of table access methods, i.e. CREATE ACCESS METHOD ... TYPE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... USING (storage-engine). No table access functionality is delegated to table AMs as of this commit, that'll be done in following commits. Subsequent commits will incrementally abstract table access functionality to be routed through table access methods. That change is too large to be reviewed & committed at once, so it'll be done incrementally. Docs will be updated at the end, as adding them incrementally would likely make them less coherent, and definitely is a lot more work, without a lot of benefit. Table access methods are specified similar to index access methods, i.e. pg_am.amhandler returns, as INTERNAL, a pointer to a struct with callbacks. In contrast to index AMs that struct needs to live as long as a backend, typically that's achieved by just returning a pointer to a constant struct. Psql's \d+ now displays a table's access method. That can be disabled with HIDE_TABLEAM=true, which is mainly useful so regression tests can be run against different AMs. It's quite possible that this behaviour still needs to be fine tuned. For now it's not allowed to set a table AM for a partitioned table, as we've not resolved how partitions would inherit that. Disallowing allows us to introduce, if we decide that's the way forward, such a behaviour without a compatibility break. Catversion bumped, to add the heap table AM and references to it.

* Don't include heapam.h from others headers.Andres Freund2019-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

* Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund2018-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

* Make TupleTableSlots extensible, finish split of existing slot type.Andres Freund2018-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit completes the work prepared in 1a0586de36, splitting the old TupleTableSlot implementation (which could store buffer, heap, minimal and virtual slots) into four different slot types. As described in the aforementioned commit, this is done with the goal of making tuple table slots extensible, to allow for pluggable table access methods. To achieve runtime extensibility for TupleTableSlots, operations on slots that can differ between types of slots are performed using the TupleTableSlotOps struct provided at slot creation time. That includes information from the size of TupleTableSlot struct to be allocated, initialization, deforming etc. See the struct's definition for more detailed information about callbacks TupleTableSlotOps. I decided to rename TTSOpsBufferTuple to TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple and ExecCopySlotTuple to ExecCopySlotHeapTuple, as that seems more consistent with other naming introduced in recent patches. There's plenty optimization potential in the slot implementation, but according to benchmarking the state after this commit has similar performance characteristics to before this set of changes, which seems sufficient. There's a few changes in execReplication.c that currently need to poke through the slot abstraction, that'll be repaired once the pluggable storage patchset provides the necessary infrastructure.

* Rejigger materializing and fetching a HeapTuple from a slot.Andres Freund2018-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously materializing a slot always returned a HeapTuple. As current work aims to reduce the reliance on HeapTuples (so other storage systems can work efficiently), that needs to change. Thus split the tasks of materializing a slot (i.e. making it independent from the underlying storage / other memory contexts) from fetching a HeapTuple from the slot. For brevity, allow to fetch a HeapTuple from a slot and materializing the slot at the same time, controlled by a parameter. For now some callers of ExecFetchSlotHeapTuple, with materialize = true, expect that changes to the heap tuple will be reflected in the underlying slot. Those places will be adapted in due course, so while not pretty, that's OK for now. Also rename ExecFetchSlotTuple to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum and ExecFetchSlotTupleDatum to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum, as it's likely that future storage methods will need similar methods. There already is ExecFetchSlotMinimalTuple, so the new names make the naming scheme more coherent.

* Create an RTE field to record the query's lock mode for each relation.Tom Lane2018-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add RangeTblEntry.rellockmode, which records the appropriate lock mode for each RTE_RELATION rangetable entry (either AccessShareLock, RowShareLock, or RowExclusiveLock depending on the RTE's role in the query). This patch creates the field and makes all creators of RTE nodes fill it in reasonably, but for the moment nothing much is done with it. The plan is to replace assorted post-parser logic that re-determines the right lockmode to use with simple uses of rte->rellockmode. For now, just add Asserts in each of those places that the rellockmode matches what they are computing today. (In some cases the match isn't perfect, so the Asserts are weaker than you might expect; but this seems OK, as per discussion.) This passes check-world for me, but it seems worth pushing in this state to see if the buildfarm finds any problems in cases I failed to test. catversion bump due to change of stored rules.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Improve castNode notation by introducing list-extraction-specific variants.Tom Lane2017-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way. As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching. Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.
