* Obtain required table lock during cross-table updates, redux.Tom Lane29 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 8319e5cb5 et al missed the fact that ATPostAlterTypeCleanup contains three calls to ATPostAlterTypeParse, and the other two also need protection against passing a relid that we don't yet have lock on. Add similar logic to those code paths, and add some test cases demonstrating the need for it. In v18 and master, the test cases demonstrate that there's a behavioral discrepancy between stored generated columns and virtual generated columns: we disallow changing the expression of a stored column if it's used in any composite-type columns, but not that of a virtual column. Since the expression isn't actually relevant to either sort of composite-type usage, this prohibition seems unnecessary; but changing it is a matter for separate discussion. For now we are just documenting the existing behavior.

* Rationalize handling of VacuumParamsMichael Paquier5 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit refactors the vacuum routines that rely on VacuumParams, adding const markers where necessary to force a new policy in the code. This structure should not use a pointer as it may be used across multiple relations, and its contents should never be updated. vacuum_rel() stands as an exception as it touches the "index_cleanup" and "truncate" options. VacuumParams has been introduced in 0d831389749a, and 661643dedad9 has fixed a bug impacting VACUUM operating on multiple relations. The changes done in tableam.h break ABI compatibility, so this commit can only happen on HEAD.

* Obtain required table lock during cross-table constraint updates.Tom Lane5 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes a table's constraint may depend on a column of another table, so that we have to update the constraint when changing the referenced column's type. We need to have lock on the constraint's table to do that. ATPostAlterTypeCleanup believed that this case was only possible for FOREIGN KEY constraints, but it's wrong at least for CHECK and EXCLUDE constraints; and in general, we'd probably need exclusive lock to alter any sort of constraint. So just remove the contype check and acquire lock for any other table. This prevents a "you don't have lock" assertion failure, though no ill effect is observed in production builds. We'll error out later anyway because we don't presently support physically altering column types within stored composite columns. But the catalog-munging is basically all there, so we may as well make that part work.

* Avoid scribbling of VACUUM optionsMichael Paquier10 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes two issues with the handling of VacuumParams in vacuum_rel(). This code path has the idea to change the passed-in pointer of VacuumParams for the "truncate" and "index_cleanup" options for the relation worked on, impacting the two following scenarios where incorrect options may be used because a VacuumParams pointer is shared across multiple relations: - Multiple relations in a single VACUUM command. - TOAST relations vacuumed with their main relation. The problem is avoided by providing to the two callers of vacuum_rel() copies of VacuumParams, before the pointer is updated for the "truncate" and "index_cleanup" options. The refactoring of the VACUUM option and parameters done in 0d831389749a did not introduce an issue, but it has encouraged the problem we are dealing with in this commit, with b84dbc8eb80b for "truncate" and a96c41feec6b for "index_cleanup" that have been added a couple of years after the initial refactoring. HEAD will be improved with a different patch that hardens the uses of VacuumParams across the tree. This cannot be backpatched as it introduces an ABI breakage. The backend portion of the patch has been authored by Nathan, while I have implemented the tests. The tests rely on injection points to check the option values, making them faster, more reliable than the tests originally proposed by Shihao, and they also provide more coverage. This part can only be backpatched down to v17.

* Use SnapshotDirty when checking for conflicting index names.Tom Lane2025-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While choosing an autogenerated name for an index, look for pre-existing relations using a SnapshotDirty snapshot, instead of the previous behavior that considered only committed-good pg_class rows. This allows us to detect and avoid conflicts against indexes that are still being built. It's still possible to fail due to a race condition, but the window is now just the amount of time that it takes DefineIndex to validate all its parameters, call smgrcreate(), and enter the index's pg_class row. Formerly the race window covered the entire time needed to create and fill an index, which could be very long if the table is large. Worse, if the conflicting index creation is part of a larger transaction, it wouldn't be visible till COMMIT. So this isn't a complete solution, but it should greatly ameliorate the problem, and the patch is simple enough to be back-patchable. It might at some point be useful to do the same for pg_constraint entries (cf. ChooseConstraintName, ConstraintNameExists, and related functions). However, in the absence of field complaints, I'll leave that alone for now. The relation-name test should be good enough for index-based constraints, while foreign-key constraints seem to be okay since they require exclusive locks to create.

* Avoid bogus scans of partitions when validating FKs to partitioned tablesÁlvaro Herrera2025-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Validating an unvalidated foreign key that references a partitioned table would try to queue validations for each individual partition of the referenced table, but this is wrong: each individual partition would not necessarily have all the referenced rows, so errors would be raised. Avoid doing that.

* Disallow "=" in names of reloptions and foreign-data options.Tom Lane2025-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We store values for these options as array elements with the syntax "name=value", hence a name containing "=" confuses matters when it's time to read the array back in. Since validation of the options is often done (long) after this conversion to array format, that leads to confusing and off-point error messages. We can improve matters by rejecting names containing "=" up-front. (Probably a better design would have involved pairs of array elements, but it's too late now --- and anyway, there's no evident use-case for option names like this. We already reject such names in some other contexts such as GUCs.)

* Ensure we have a snapshot when updating various system catalogs.Nathan Bossart2025-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few places that access system catalogs don't set up an active snapshot before potentially accessing their TOAST tables. To fix, push an active snapshot just before each section of code that might require accessing one of these TOAST tables, and pop it shortly afterwards. While at it, this commit adds some rather strict assertions in an attempt to prevent such issues in the future. Commit 16bf24e0e4 recently removed pg_replication_origin's TOAST table in order to fix the same problem for that catalog. On the back-branches, those bugs are left in place. We cannot easily remove a catalog's TOAST table on released major versions, and only replication origins with extremely long names are affected. Given the low severity of the issue, fixing older versions doesn't seem worth the trouble of significantly modifying the patch. Also, on v13 and v14, the aforementioned strict assertions have been omitted because commit 2776922201, which added HaveRegisteredOrActiveSnapshot(), was not back-patched. While we could probably back-patch it now, I've opted against it because it seems unlikely that new TOAST snapshot issues will be introduced in the oldest supported versions.

* Change internal queryid type from uint64 to int64David Rowley2025-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | uint64 was perhaps chosen in cff440d36 as the type was uint32 prior to that widening work. Having this as uint64 doesn't make much sense and just adds the overhead of having to remember that we always output this in its signed form. Let's remove that overhead. The signed form output is seemingly required since we have no way to represent the full range of uint64 in an SQL type. We use BIGINT in places like pg_stat_statements, which maps directly to int64.

* In ExecInitModifyTable, don't scribble on the source plan.Tom Lane2025-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code carelessly modified mtstate->ps.plan->targetlist, which it's not supposed to do. Fortunately, there's not really any need to do that because the planner already set up a perfectly acceptable targetlist for the plan node. We just need to remove the erroneous assignments and update some relevant comments. As it happens, the erroneous assignments caused the targetlist to point to a different part of the source plan tree, so that there isn't really a risk of the pointer becoming dangling after executor termination. The only visible effect of this change we can find is that EXPLAIN will show upper references to the ModifyTable's output expressions using different variables. Formerly it showed Vars from the first target relation that survived executor-startup pruning. Now it always shows such references using the first relation appearing in the planner output, independently of what happens during executor pruning. On the whole that seems like a good thing. Also make a small tweak in ExplainPreScanNode to ensure that the first relation will receive a refname assignment in set_rtable_names, even if it got pruned at startup. Previously the Vars might be shown without any table qualification, which is confusing in a multi-table query. I considered back-patching this, but since the bug doesn't seem to have any really terrible consequences in existing branches, it seems better to not change their EXPLAIN output. It's not too late for v18 though, especially since v18 already made other changes in the EXPLAIN output for these cases.

* Handle self-referencing FKs correctly in partitioned tablesÁlvaro Herrera2025-05-02

This is an old bug -- mostly, we broke this in 614a406b4ff1 while trying to fix it (so 12.13, 13.9, 14.6 and 15.0 and up all behave incorrectly). This commit reverts part of that with additional fixes for full correctness, and installs more tests to verify the parts we broke, not just the catalog contents but also the user-visible behavior. Backpatch to all live branches. In branches 13 and 14, commit 46a8c27a7226 changed the behavior during DETACH to drop a FK constraint rather than trying to repair it, because the complete fix of repairing catalog constraints was problematic due to lack of previous fixes. For this reason, the test behavior in those branches is a bit different. However, as best as I can tell, the fix works correctly there. In release notes we have to recommend that all self-referencing foreign keys on partitioned tables be recreated if partitions have been created or attached after the FK was created, keeping in mind that violating rows might already be present on the referencing side.

* Make "directory" setting work with extension_control_pathPeter Eisentraut2025-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extension_control_path setting (commit 4f7f7b03758) did not support extensions that set a custom "directory" setting in their control file. Very few extensions use that and during the discussion on the previous commit it was suggested to maybe remove that functionality. But a fix was easier than initially thought, so this just adds that support. The fix is to use the control->control_dir as a share dir to return the path of the extension script files. To make this work more sensibly overall, the directory suffix "extension" is no longer to be included in the extension_control_path value. To quote the patch, it would be -extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql/extension:/home/my_project/share/extension:$system' +extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql:/home/my_project/share:$system' During the initial patch, there was some discussion on which of these two approaches would be better, and the committed patch was a 50/50 decision. But the support for the "directory" setting pushed it the other way, and also it seems like many people didn't like the previous behavior much.

* Fix bug allowing io_combine_limit > io_max_combine_combine limitAndres Freund2025-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 10f66468475 intended to limit the value of io_combine_limit to the minimum of io_combine_limit and io_max_combine_limit. To avoid issues with interdependent GUCs, it introduced io_combine_limit_guc and set io_combine_limit in assign hooks. That plan was thwarted by guc_tables.c accidentally still referencing io_combine_limit, instead of io_combine_limit_guc. That lead to the GUC machinery overriding the work done in the assign hooks, potentially leaving io_combine_limit with a too high value. The consequence of this bug was that when running with io_combine_limit > io_combine_limit_guc the AIO machinery would not have reserved large enough iovec and IO data arrays, with one IO's arrays overlapping with another IO's, leading to total confusion. To make such a problem easier to detect in the future, add assertions to pgaio_io_set_handle_data_* checking the length is smaller than io_max_combine_limit (not just PG_IOV_MAX). It'd be nice to have a few tests for this, but it's not entirely obvious how to do so portably. As remarked upon by Tom, the GUC assignment hooks really shouldn't set the underlying variable, that's the job of the GUC machinery. Change that as well.

* Change the names generated for child foreign key constraints.Tom Lane2025-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a foreign key constraint is placed on a partitioned table, we actually make two pg_constraint entries associated with that table. (I have my doubts about the wisdom of that, but it's been like that since v12 and post-feature-freeze is no time to be messing with such entrenched decisions.) The second "child" entry always had a name generated according to the default rule, "table_column(s)_fkey[nnn]", even if the primary entry had an unrelated user-specified name. The trouble with doing that is that the default name could collide with the user-specified name of some other constraint on the same table. While we were willing to adjust the generated name to avoid collisions, that only helps if it's made second; if it's made first then creation of the other constraint would fail, potentially causing dump/reload or pg_upgrade failures. The core of the problem here is that we're infringing on user namespace, so I doubt that there's any 100% solution other than to find a way to not need the "child" entry. In the meantime, it seems like it'd be an improvement to make the child's name be the name of the parent constraint with an underscore and digit(s) appended as necessary to make it unique. This rule can in theory fail in the same way, but it seems much less probable; for one thing, this rule is guaranteed not to match primary entries having auto-generated names. (While an auto-generated primary name isn't user-specified to begin with, it acts like that during dump/reload, so collisions against such names are definitely possible.) An additional bonus, visible in some of the regression test cases that change here, arises from the fact that some error messages cite the child constraint's name not the parent's. In the previous approach the two names could be completely unrelated, leading to user confusion --- the more so since psql's \d command hides child constraints. With this approach it's hopefully much clearer which constraint-the-user-knows-about is failing. However, that does mean that there's user-visible behavior change occurring here, making it seem like not something to back-patch. I feel it's not too late for v18, though.

* Elide not-null constraint checks on child tables during PK creationÁlvaro Herrera2025-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were unnecessarily acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on all child tables when "ALTER TABLE ONLY sometab ADD PRIMARY KEY" was run on their parent table, an oversight in commit 14e87ffa5c54. This caused deadlocks during pg_restore of partitioned tables. The reason to acquire the AEL was that we need to verify that child tables have the involved columns already marked as not-null; but if the parent table has an inheritable not-null constraint, then all children must necessarily be in the correct state already, so we can skip the check, which avoids acquiring the lock. Reorder the code so that it works that way. This doesn't change things in the case where the constraint doesn't exist, but that case is of lesser importance because it doesn't occur during parallel pg_restore. While at it, reword some errmsg() and add errhint() to similar cases in related but not adjacent code.

* Fix erroneous construction of functions' dependencies on transforms.Tom Lane2025-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The list of transform objects that a function should use is specified in CREATE FUNCTION's TRANSFORM clause, and then represented indirectly in pg_proc.protrftypes. However, ProcedureCreate completely ignored that for purposes of constructing pg_depend entries, and instead made the function depend on any transforms that exist for its parameter or return data types. This is bad in both directions: the function could be made dependent on a transform it does not actually use, or it could try to use a transform that's since been dropped. (The latter scenario would require use of a transform that's not for any of the parameter or return types, but that seems legit for cases where the function performs SQL operations internally.) To fix, pass in the list of transform objects that CreateFunction identified, and build pg_depend entries from that not from the parameter/return types. This results in changes in the expected test outputs in contrib/bool_plperl, which I guess are due to different ordering of pg_depend entries -- that test case is surely not exercising either of the problem scenarios. This fix is not back-patchable as-is: changing the signature of ProcedureCreate seems too risky in stable branches. We could do something like making ProcedureCreate a wrapper around ProcedureCreateExt or so. However, I'm more inclined to do nothing in the back branches. We had no field complaints up to now, so the hazards don't seem to be a big issue in practice. And we couldn't do anything about existing pg_depend entries, so a back-patched fix would result in a mishmash of dependencies created according to different rules. That cure could be worse than the disease, perhaps. I bumped catversion just to lay down a marker that the expected contents of pg_depend are a bit different than before.

* Allow NOT NULL constraints to be added as NOT VALIDÁlvaro Herrera2025-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows them to be added without scanning the table, and validating them afterwards without holding access exclusive lock on the table after any violating rows have been deleted or fixed. Doing ALTER TABLE ... SET NOT NULL for a column that has an invalid not-null constraint validates that constraint. ALTER TABLE .. VALIDATE CONSTRAINT is also supported. There are various checks on whether an invalid constraint is allowed in a child table when the parent table has a valid constraint; this should match what we do for enforced/not enforced constraints. pg_attribute.attnotnull is now only an indicator for whether a not-null constraint exists for the column; whether it's valid or invalid must be queried in pg_constraint. Applications can continue to query pg_attribute.attnotnull as before, but now it's possible that NULL rows are present in the column even when that's set to true. For backend internal purposes, we cache the nullability status in CompactAttribute->attnullability that each tuple descriptor carries (replacing CompactAttribute.attnotnull, which was a mirror of Form_pg_attribute.attnotnull). During the initial tuple descriptor creation, based on the pg_attribute scan, we set this to UNRESTRICTED if pg_attribute.attnotnull is false, or to UNKNOWN if it's true; then we update the latter to VALID or INVALID depending on the pg_constraint scan. This flag is also copied when tupledescs are copied. Comparing tuple descs for equality must also compare the CompactAttribute.attnullability flag and return false in case of a mismatch. pg_dump deals with these constraints by storing the OIDs of invalid not-null constraints in a separate array, and running a query to obtain their properties. The regular table creation SQL omits them entirely. They are then dealt with in the same way as "separate" CHECK constraints, and dumped after the data has been loaded. Because no additional pg_dump infrastructure was required, we don't bump its version number. I decided not to bump catversion either, because the old catalog state works perfectly in the new world. (Trying to run with new catalog state and the old server version would likely run into issues, however.) System catalogs do not support invalid not-null constraints (because commit 14e87ffa5c54 didn't allow them to have pg_constraint rows anyway.)

* Repair misbehavior with duplicate entries in FK SET column lists.Tom Lane2025-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since v15 we've had an option to apply a foreign key constraint's ON DELETE SET DEFAULT or SET NULL action to just some of the referencing columns. There was not a check for duplicate entries in the list of columns-to-set, though. That caused a potential memory stomp in CreateConstraintEntry(), which incautiously assumed that the list of columns-to-set couldn't be longer than the number of key columns. Even after fixing that, the case doesn't work because you get an error like "multiple assignments to same column" from the SQL command that is generated to do the update. We could either raise an error for duplicate columns or silently suppress the dups, and after a bit of thought I chose to do the latter. This is motivated by the fact that duplicates in the FK column list are legal, so it's not real clear why duplicates in the columns-to-set list shouldn't be. Of course there's no need to actually set the column more than once. I left in the fix in CreateConstraintEntry() too, just because it didn't seem like such low-level code ought to be making assumptions about what it's handed.

* Add nbtree skip scan optimization.Peter Geoghegan2025-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach nbtree multi-column index scans to opportunistically skip over irrelevant sections of the index given a query with no "=" conditions on one or more prefix index columns. When nbtree is passed input scan keys derived from a predicate "WHERE b = 5", new nbtree preprocessing steps output "WHERE a = ANY(<every possible 'a' value>) AND b = 5" scan keys. That is, preprocessing generates a "skip array" (and an output scan key) for the omitted prefix column "a", which makes it safe to mark the scan key on "b" as required to continue the scan. The scan is therefore able to repeatedly reposition itself by applying both the "a" and "b" keys. A skip array has "elements" that are generated procedurally and on demand, but otherwise works just like a regular ScalarArrayOp array. Preprocessing can freely add a skip array before or after any input ScalarArrayOp arrays. Index scans with a skip array decide when and where to reposition the scan using the same approach as any other scan with array keys. This design builds on the design for array advancement and primitive scan scheduling added to Postgres 17 by commit 5bf748b8. Testing has shown that skip scans of an index with a low cardinality skipped prefix column can be multiple orders of magnitude faster than an equivalent full index scan (or sequential scan). In general, the cardinality of the scan's skipped column(s) limits the number of leaf pages that can be skipped over. The core B-Tree operator classes on most discrete types generate their array elements with the help of their own custom skip support routine. This infrastructure gives nbtree a way to generate the next required array element by incrementing (or decrementing) the current array value. It can reduce the number of index descents in cases where the next possible indexable value frequently turns out to be the next value stored in the index. Opclasses that lack a skip support routine fall back on having nbtree "increment" (or "decrement") a skip array's current element by setting the NEXT (or PRIOR) scan key flag, without directly changing the scan key's sk_argument. These sentinel values behave just like any other value from an array -- though they can never locate equal index tuples (they can only locate the next group of index tuples containing the next set of non-sentinel values that the scan's arrays need to advance to). A skip array's range is constrained by "contradictory" inequality keys. For example, a skip array on "x" will only generate the values 1 and 2 given a qual such as "WHERE x BETWEEN 1 AND 2 AND y = 66". Such a skip array qual usually has near-identical performance characteristics to a comparable SAOP qual "WHERE x = ANY('{1, 2}') AND y = 66". However, improved performance isn't guaranteed. Much depends on physical index characteristics. B-Tree preprocessing is optimistic about skipping working out: it applies static, generic rules when determining where to generate skip arrays, which assumes that the runtime overhead of maintaining skip arrays will pay for itself -- or lead to only a modest performance loss. As things stand, these assumptions are much too optimistic: skip array maintenance will lead to unacceptable regressions with unsympathetic queries (queries whose scan can't skip over many irrelevant leaf pages). An upcoming commit will address the problems in this area by enhancing _bt_readpage's approach to saving cycles on scan key evaluation, making it work in a way that directly considers the needs of = array keys (particularly = skip array keys).

* Add support for NOT ENFORCED in foreign key constraintsPeter Eisentraut2025-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This expands the NOT ENFORCED constraint flag, previously only supported for CHECK constraints (commit ca87c415e2f), to foreign key constraints. Normally, when a foreign key constraint is created on a table, action and check triggers are added to maintain data integrity. With this patch, if a constraint is marked as NOT ENFORCED, integrity checks are no longer required, making these triggers unnecessary. Consequently, when creating a NOT ENFORCED foreign key constraint, triggers will not be created, and the constraint will be marked as NOT VALID. Similarly, if an existing foreign key constraint is changed to NOT ENFORCED, the associated triggers will be dropped, and the constraint will also be marked as NOT VALID. Conversely, if a NOT ENFORCED foreign key constraint is changed to ENFORCED, the necessary triggers will be created, and the will be changed to VALID by performing necessary validation. Since not-enforced foreign key constraints have no triggers, the shortcut used for example in psql and pg_dump to skip looking for foreign keys if the relation is known not to have triggers no longer applies.

* read_stream: Introduce and use optional batchmode supportAndres Freund2025-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Submitting IO in larger batches can be more efficient than doing so one-by-one, particularly for many small reads. It does, however, require the ReadStreamBlockNumberCB callback to abide by the restrictions of AIO batching (c.f. pgaio_enter_batchmode()). Basically, the callback may not: a) block without first calling pgaio_submit_staged(), unless a to-be-waited-on lock cannot be part of a deadlock, e.g. because it is never held while waiting for IO. b) directly or indirectly start another batch pgaio_enter_batchmode() As this requires care and is nontrivial in some cases, batching is only used with explicit opt-in. This patch adds an explicit flag (READ_STREAM_USE_BATCHING) to read_stream and uses it where appropriate. There are two cases where batching would likely be beneficial, but where we aren't using it yet: 1) bitmap heap scans, because the callback reads the VM This should soon be solved, because we are planning to remove the use of the VM, due to that not being sound. 2) The first phase of heap vacuum This could be made to support batchmode, but would require some care.
