* Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut2024-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

* Switch to multi-inserts when registering dependencies for many code pathsMichael Paquier2020-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit improves the dependency registrations by taking advantage of the preliminary work done in 63110c62, to group together the insertion of dependencies of the same type to pg_depend. With the current layer of routines available, and as only dependencies of the same type can be grouped, there are code paths still doing more than one multi-insert when it is necessary to register dependencies of multiple types (constraint and index creation are two cases doing that). While on it, this refactors some of the code to use ObjectAddressSet() when manipulating object addresses.

* Remove the "opaque" pseudo-type and associated compatibility hacks.Tom Lane2020-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A long time ago, it was necessary to declare datatype I/O functions, triggers, and language handler support functions in a very type-unsafe way involving a single pseudo-type "opaque". We got rid of those conventions in 7.3, but there was still support in various places to automatically convert such functions to the modern declaration style, to be able to transparently re-load dumps from pre-7.3 servers. It seems unnecessary to continue to support that anymore, so take out the hacks; whereupon the "opaque" pseudo-type itself is no longer needed and can be dropped. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files. Since we've had few complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0 servers (commit 64f3524e2), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.

* Invent "trusted" extensions, and remove the pg_pltemplate catalog.Tom Lane2020-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates a new extension property, "trusted". An extension that's marked that way in its control file can be installed by a non-superuser who has the CREATE privilege on the current database, even if the extension contains objects that normally would have to be created by a superuser. The objects within the extension will (by default) be owned by the bootstrap superuser, but the extension itself will be owned by the calling user. This allows replicating the old behavior around trusted procedural languages, without all the special-case logic in CREATE LANGUAGE. We have, however, chosen to loosen the rules slightly: formerly, only a database owner could take advantage of the special case that allowed installation of a trusted language, but now anyone who has CREATE privilege can do so. Having done that, we can delete the pg_pltemplate catalog, moving the knowledge it contained into the extension script files for the various PLs. This ends up being no change at all for the in-core PLs, but it is a large step forward for external PLs: they can now have the same ease of installation as core PLs do. The old "trusted PL" behavior was only available to PLs that had entries in pg_pltemplate, but now any extension can be marked trusted if appropriate. This also removes one of the stumbling blocks for our Python 2 -> 3 migration, since the association of "plpythonu" with Python 2 is no longer hard-wired into pg_pltemplate's initial contents. Exactly where we go from here on that front remains to be settled, but one problem is fixed. Patch by me, reviewed by Peter Eisentraut, Stephen Frost, and others.

* Create the infrastructure for planner support functions.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename/repurpose pg_proc.protransform as "prosupport". The idea is still that it names an internal function that provides knowledge to the planner about the behavior of the function it's attached to; but redesign the API specification so that it's not limited to doing just one thing, but can support an extensible set of requests. The original purpose of simplifying a function call is handled by the first request type to be invented, SupportRequestSimplify. Adjust all the existing transform functions to handle this API, and rename them fron "xxx_transform" to "xxx_support" to reflect the potential generalization of what they do. (Since we never previously provided any way for extensions to add transform functions, this change doesn't create an API break for them.) Also add DDL and pg_dump support for attaching a support function to a user-defined function. Unfortunately, DDL access has to be restricted to superusers, at least for now; but seeing that support functions will pretty much have to be written in C, that limitation is just theoretical. (This support is untested in this patch, but a follow-on patch will add cases that exercise it.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15193.1548028093@sss.pgh.pa.us

* 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.

* Merge catalog/pg_foo_fn.h headers back into pg_foo.h headers.Tom Lane2018-04-08

* 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.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the work done in commit 2f5c9d9c9 to provide a more nearly complete abstraction layer hiding the details of index updating for catalog changes. That commit only invented abstractions for catalog inserts and updates, leaving nearby code for catalog deletes still calling the heap-level routines directly. That seems rather ugly from here, and it does little to help if we ever want to shift to a storage system in which indexing work is needed at delete time.

This removes over 300 lines of boilerplate code all over src/backend/catalog/ and src/backend/commands. The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye. Also, by encapsulating what happens in detail during an UPDATE, this facilitates the upcoming WARM patch, which is going to add a few more lines to the update case making the boilerplate even more boring. The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use left, and since it's just three lines, we can as well expand it in place there.

* Determine whether it's safe to attempt a parallel plan for a query.Robert Haas2015-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42 introduced a framework for parallel computation in PostgreSQL that makes most but not all built-in functions safe to execute in parallel mode. In order to have parallel query, we'll need to be able to determine whether that query contains functions (either built-in or user-defined) that cannot be safely executed in parallel mode. This requires those functions to be labeled, so this patch introduces an infrastructure for that. Some functions currently labeled as safe may need to be revised depending on how pending issues related to heavyweight locking under paralllelism are resolved. Parallel plans can't be used except for the case where the query will run to completion. If portal execution were suspended, the parallel mode restrictions would need to remain in effect during that time, but that might make other queries fail. Therefore, this patch introduces a framework that enables consideration of parallel plans only when it is known that the plan will be run to completion. This probably needs some refinement; for example, at bind time, we do not know whether a query run via the extended protocol will be execution to completion or run with a limited fetch count. Having the client indicate its intentions at bind time would constitute a wire protocol break. Some contexts in which parallel mode would be safe are not adjusted by this patch; the default is not to try parallel plans except from call sites that have been updated to say that such plans are OK. This commit doesn't introduce any parallel paths or plans; it just provides a way to determine whether they could potentially be used. I'm committing it on the theory that the remaining parallel sequential scan patches will also get committed to this release, hopefully in the not-too-distant future. Robert Haas and Amit Kapila.

Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument that's an object address which provides further info about the executed command. To wit: * for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of the new constraint * for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the schema that originally contained the object. * for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address of the object added to or dropped from the extension.

* Use an MVCC snapshot, rather than SnapshotNow, for catalog scans.Robert Haas2013-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SnapshotNow scans have the undesirable property that, in the face of concurrent updates, the scan can fail to see either the old or the new versions of the row. In many cases, we work around this by requiring DDL operations to hold AccessExclusiveLock on the object being modified; in some cases, the existing locking is inadequate and random failures occur as a result. This commit doesn't change anything related to locking, but will hopefully pave the way to allowing lock strength reductions in the future. The major issue has held us back from making this change in the past is that taking an MVCC snapshot is significantly more expensive than using a static special snapshot such as SnapshotNow. However, testing of various worst-case scenarios reveals that this problem is not severe except under fairly extreme workloads. To mitigate those problems, we avoid retaking the MVCC snapshot for each new scan; instead, we take a new snapshot only when invalidation messages have been processed. The catcache machinery already requires that invalidation messages be sent before releasing the related heavyweight lock; else other backends might rely on locally-cached data rather than scanning the catalog at all. Thus, making snapshot reuse dependent on the same guarantees shouldn't break anything that wasn't already subtly broken. Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier and Andres Freund.
