* Initial pgindent and pgperltidy run for v13.Tom Lane2020-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up, most of which weren't per project style anyway. Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get indented.

* Fix CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING GENERATED column order issuePeter Eisentraut2020-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING GENERATED would fail if a generated column referred to a column with a higher attribute number. This is because the column mapping mechanism created the mapping incrementally as columns are added. This was sufficient for previous uses of that mechanism (omitting dropped columns), and it also happened to work if generated columns only referred to columns with lower attribute numbers, but here it failed. This fix is to build the attribute mapping in a separate loop before processing the columns in detail.

* Remove bogus Assert, add some regression test cases showing why.Tom Lane2020-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 77ec5affb added an assertion to enforce_generic_type_consistency that boils down to "if the function result is polymorphic, there must be at least one polymorphic argument". This should be true for user-created functions, but there are built-in functions for which it's not true, as pointed out by Jaime Casanova. Hence, go back to the old behavior of leaving the return type alone. There's only a limited amount of stuff you can do with such a function result, but it does work to some extent; add some regression test cases to ensure we don't break that again.

* Implement operator class parametersAlexander Korotkov2020-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN, SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to index the particular dataset. This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but unused for index attributes. In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so fn_expr is unused for them. This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops, gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular json parts. Catversion is bumped.

* Go back to returning int from ereport auxiliary functions.Tom Lane2020-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts the parts of commit 17a28b03645e27d73bf69a95d7569b61e58f06eb that changed ereport's auxiliary functions from returning dummy integer values to returning void. It turns out that a minority of compilers complain (not entirely unreasonably) about constructs such as (condition) ? errdetail(...) : 0 if errdetail() returns void rather than int. We could update those call sites to say "(void) 0" perhaps, but the expectation for this patch set was that ereport callers would not have to change anything. And this aspect of the patch set was already the most invasive and least compelling part of it, so let's just drop it. Per buildfarm.

* Improve the internal implementation of ereport().Tom Lane2020-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change all the auxiliary error-reporting routines to return void, now that we no longer need to pretend they are passing something useful to errfinish(). While this probably doesn't save anything significant at the machine-code level, it allows detection of some additional types of mistakes. Pass the error location details (__FILE__, __LINE__, PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO) to errfinish not errstart. This shaves a few cycles off the case where errstart decides we're not going to emit anything. Re-implement elog() as a trivial wrapper around ereport(), removing the separate support infrastructure it used to have. Aside from getting rid of some now-surplus code, this means that elog() now really does have exactly the same semantics as ereport(), in particular that it can skip evaluation work if the message is not to be emitted.

* Introduce "anycompatible" family of polymorphic types.Tom Lane2020-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the pseudo-types anycompatible, anycompatiblearray, anycompatiblenonarray, and anycompatiblerange. They work much like anyelement, anyarray, anynonarray, and anyrange respectively, except that the actual input values need not match precisely in type. Instead, if we can find a common supertype (using the same rules as for UNION/CASE type resolution), then the parser automatically promotes the input values to that type. For example, "myfunc(anycompatible, anycompatible)" can match a call with one integer and one bigint argument, with the integer automatically promoted to bigint. With anyelement in the definition, the user would have had to cast the integer explicitly. The new types also provide a second, independent set of type variables for function matching; thus with "myfunc(anyelement, anyelement, anycompatible) returns anycompatible" the first two arguments are constrained to be the same type, but the third can be some other type, and the result has the type of the third argument. The need for more than one set of type variables was foreseen back when we first invented the polymorphic types, but we never did anything about it.

* Refactor our checks for valid function and aggregate signatures.Tom Lane2020-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_proc.c and pg_aggregate.c had near-duplicate copies of the logic to decide whether a function or aggregate's signature is legal. This seems like a bad thing even without the problem that the upcoming "anycompatible" patch would roughly double the complexity of that logic. Hence, refactor so that the rules are localized in new subroutines supplied by parse_coerce.c. (One could quibble about just where to add that code, but putting it beside enforce_generic_type_consistency seems not totally unreasonable.) The fact that the rules are about to change would mandate some changes in the wording of the associated error messages in any case. I ended up spelling things out in a fairly literal fashion in the errdetail messages, eg "A result of type anyelement requires at least one input of type anyelement, anyarray, anynonarray, anyenum, or anyrange." Perhaps this is overkill, but once there's more than one subgroup of polymorphic types, people might get confused by more-abstract messages.

* Adjust handling of an ANYARRAY actual input for an ANYARRAY argument.Tom Lane2020-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinarily it's impossible for an actual input of a function to have declared type ANYARRAY, since we'd resolve that to a concrete array type before doing argument type resolution for the function. But an exception arises for functions applied to certain columns of pg_statistic or pg_stats, since we abuse the "anyarray" pseudotype by using it to declare those columns. So parse_coerce.c has to deal with the case. Previously we allowed an ANYARRAY actual input to match an ANYARRAY polymorphic argument, but only if no other argument or result was declared ANYELEMENT. When that logic was written, those were the only two polymorphic types, and I fear nobody thought carefully about how it ought to extend to the other ones that came along later. But actually it was wrong even then, because if a function has two ANYARRAY arguments, it should be able to expect that they have identical element types, and we'd not be able to ensure that. The correct generalization is that we can match an ANYARRAY actual input to an ANYARRAY polymorphic argument only if no other argument or result is of any polymorphic type, so that no promises are being made about element type compatibility. check_generic_type_consistency can't test that condition, but it seems better anyway to accept such matches there and then throw an error if needed in enforce_generic_type_consistency. That way we can produce a specific error message rather than an unintuitive "function does not exist" complaint. (There's some risk perhaps of getting new ambiguous-function complaints, but I think that any set of functions for which that could happen would be ambiguous against ordinary array columns as well.) While we're at it, we can improve the message that's produced in cases that the code did already object to, as shown in the regression test changes. Also, remove a similar test that got cargo-culted in for ANYRANGE; there are no catalog columns of type ANYRANGE, and I hope we never create any, so that's not needed. (It was incomplete anyway.) While here, update some comments and rearrange the code a bit in preparation for upcoming additions of more polymorphic types. In practical situations I believe this is just exchanging one error message for another, hopefully better, one. So it doesn't seem needful to back-patch, even though the mistake is ancient.

* Restructure polymorphic-type resolution in funcapi.c.Tom Lane2020-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes() failed to cover the case of having to resolve anyarray given only an anyrange input. The bug was masked if anyelement was also used (as either input or output), which probably helps account for our not having noticed. While looking at this I noticed that resolve_generic_type() would produce the wrong answer if asked to make that same resolution. ISTM that resolve_generic_type() is confusingly defined and overly complex, so rather than fix it, let's just make funcapi.c do the specific lookups it requires for itself. With this change, resolve_generic_type() is not used anywhere, so remove it in HEAD. In the back branches, leave it alone (complete with bug) just in case any external code is using it. While we're here, make some other refactoring adjustments in funcapi.c with an eye to upcoming future expansion of the set of polymorphic types: * Simplify quick-exit tests by adding an overall have_polymorphic_result flag. This is about a wash now but will be a win when there are more flags. * Reduce duplication of code between resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes(). * Don't bother to validate correct matching of anynonarray or anyenum; the parser should have done that, and even if it didn't, just doing "return false" here would lead to a very confusing, off-point error message. (Really, "return false" in these two functions should only occur if the call_expr isn't supplied or we can't obtain data type info from it.) * For the same reason, throw an elog rather than "return false" if we fail to resolve a polymorphic type. The bug's been there since we added anyrange, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6093.1584202130@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Allow Unicode escapes in any server encoding, not only UTF-8.Tom Lane2020-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SQL includes provisions for numeric Unicode escapes in string literals and identifiers. Previously we only accepted those if they represented ASCII characters or the server encoding was UTF-8, making the conversion to internal form trivial. This patch adjusts things so that we'll call the appropriate encoding conversion function in less-trivial cases, allowing the escape sequence to be accepted so long as it corresponds to some character available in the server encoding. This also applies to processing of Unicode escapes in JSONB. However, the old restriction still applies to client-side JSON processing, since that hasn't got access to the server's encoding conversion infrastructure. This patch includes some lexer infrastructure that simplifies throwing errors with error cursors pointing into the middle of a string (or other complex token). For the moment I only used it for errors relating to Unicode escapes, but we might later expand the usage to some other cases. Patch by me, reviewed by John Naylor.

* Allow ALTER TYPE to change some properties of a base type.Tom Lane2020-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Specifically, this patch allows ALTER TYPE to: * Change the default TOAST strategy for a toastable base type; * Promote a non-toastable type to toastable; * Add/remove binary I/O functions for a type; * Add/remove typmod I/O functions for a type; * Add/remove a custom ANALYZE statistics functions for a type. The first of these can be done by the type's owner; all the others require superuser privilege since misuse could cause problems. The main motivation for this patch is to allow extensions to upgrade the feature sets of their data types, so the set of alterable properties is biased towards that use-case. However it's also true that changing some other properties would be a lot harder, as they get baked into physical storage and/or stored expressions that depend on the type. Along the way, refactor GenerateTypeDependencies() to make it easier to call, refactor DefineType's volatility checks so they can be shared by AlterType, and teach typcache.c that it might have to reload data from the type's pg_type row, a scenario it never handled before. Also rearrange alter_type.sgml a bit for clarity (put the composite-type operations together). Tomas Vondra and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200228004440.b23ein4qvmxnlpht@development
* Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.Tom Lane2020-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants, in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never too late to make it better though, so let's do that. The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch. But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability, so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation. I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers over time. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16457.1583189537@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Remove support for upgrading extensions from "unpackaged" state.Tom Lane2020-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andres Freund pointed out that allowing non-superusers to run "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged" has security risks, since the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts don't try to verify that the existing objects they're modifying are what they expect. Just attaching such objects to an extension doesn't seem too dangerous, but some of them do more than that. We could have resolved this, perhaps, by still requiring superuser privilege to use the FROM option. However, it's fair to ask just what we're accomplishing by continuing to lug the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts forward. None of them have received any real testing since 9.1 days, so they may not even work anymore (even assuming that one could still load the previous "loose" object definitions into a v13 database). And an installation that's trying to go from pre-9.1 to v13 or later in one jump is going to have worse compatibility problems than whether there's a trivial way to convert their contrib modules into extension style. Hence, let's just drop both those scripts and the core-code support for "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM". Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200213233015.r6rnubcvl4egdh5r@alap3.anarazel.de
* Fill in extraUpdatedCols in logical replicationPeter Eisentraut2020-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extraUpdatedCols field of the target RTE records which generated columns are affected by an update. This is used in a variety of places, including per-column triggers and foreign data wrappers. When an update was initiated by a logical replication subscription, this field was not filled in, so such an update would not affect generated columns in a way that is consistent with normal updates. To fix, factor out some code from analyze.c to fill in extraUpdatedCols in the logical replication worker as well.

* 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.

* Restructure ALTER TABLE execution to fix assorted bugs.Tom Lane2020-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had numerous bug reports about how (1) IF NOT EXISTS clauses in ALTER TABLE don't behave as-expected, and (2) combining certain actions into one ALTER TABLE doesn't work, though executing the same actions as separate statements does. This patch cleans up all of the cases so far reported from the field, though there are still some oddities associated with identity columns. The core problem behind all of these bugs is that we do parse analysis of ALTER TABLE subcommands too soon, before starting execution of the statement. The root of the bugs in group (1) is that parse analysis schedules derived commands (such as a CREATE SEQUENCE for a serial column) before it's known whether the IF NOT EXISTS clause should cause a subcommand to be skipped. The root of the bugs in group (2) is that earlier subcommands may change the catalog state that later subcommands need to be parsed against. Hence, postpone parse analysis of ALTER TABLE's subcommands, and do that one subcommand at a time, during "phase 2" of ALTER TABLE which is the phase that does catalog rewrites. Thus the catalog effects of earlier subcommands are already visible when we analyze later ones. (The sole exception is that we do parse analysis for ALTER COLUMN TYPE subcommands during phase 1, so that their USING expressions can be parsed against the table's original state, which is what we need. Arguably, these bugs stem from falsely concluding that because ALTER COLUMN TYPE must do early parse analysis, every other command subtype can too.) This means that ALTER TABLE itself must deal with execution of any non-ALTER-TABLE derived statements that are generated by parse analysis. Add a suitable entry point to utility.c to accept those recursive calls, and create a struct to pass through the information needed by the recursive call, rather than making the argument lists of AlterTable() and friends even longer. Getting this to work correctly required a little bit of fiddling with the subcommand pass structure, in particular breaking up AT_PASS_ADD_CONSTR into multiple passes. But otherwise it's mostly a pretty straightforward application of the above ideas. Fixing the residual issues for identity columns requires refactoring of where the dependency link from an identity column to its sequence gets set up. So that seems like suitable material for a separate patch, especially since this one is pretty big already. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/10365.1558909428@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Reduce size of backend scanner's tables.Tom Lane2020-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the core scanner's yy_transition[] array had 37045 elements. Since that number is larger than INT16_MAX, Flex generated the array to contain 32-bit integers. By reimplementing some of the bulkier scanner rules, this patch reduces the array to 20495 elements. The much smaller total length, combined with the consequent use of 16-bit integers for the array elements reduces the binary size by over 200kB. This was accomplished in two ways: 1. Consolidate handling of quote continuations into a new start condition, rather than duplicating that logic for five different string types. 2. Treat Unicode strings and identifiers followed by a UESCAPE sequence as three separate tokens, rather than one. The logic to de-escape Unicode strings is moved to the filter code in parser.c, which already had the ability to provide special processing for token sequences. While we could have implemented the conversion in the grammar, that approach was rejected for performance and maintainability reasons. Performance in microbenchmarks of raw parsing seems equal or slightly faster in most cases, and it's reasonable to expect that in real-world usage (with more competition for the CPU cache) there will be a larger win. The exception is UESCAPE sequences; lexing those is about 10% slower, primarily because the scanner now has to be called three times rather than one. This seems acceptable since that feature is very rarely used. The psql and epcg lexers are likewise modified, primarily because we want to keep them all in sync. Since those lexers don't use the space-hogging -CF option, the space savings is much less, but it's still good for perhaps 10kB apiece. While at it, merge the ecpg lexer's handling of C-style comments used in SQL and in C. Those have different rules regarding nested comments, but since we already have the ability to keep track of the previous start condition, we can use that to handle both cases within a single start condition. This matches the core scanner more closely. John Naylor Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACPNZCvaoa3EgVWm5yZhcSTX6RAtaLgniCPcBVOCwm8h3xpWkw@mail.gmail.com
* Reconsider the representation of join alias Vars.Tom Lane2020-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The core idea of this patch is to make the parser generate join alias Vars (that is, ones with varno pointing to a JOIN RTE) only when the alias Var is actually different from any raw join input, that is a type coercion and/or COALESCE is necessary to generate the join output value. Otherwise just generate varno/varattno pointing to the relevant join input column. In effect, this means that the planner's flatten_join_alias_vars() transformation is already done in the parser, for all cases except (a) columns that are merged by JOIN USING and are transformed in the process, and (b) whole-row join Vars. In principle that would allow us to skip doing flatten_join_alias_vars() in many more queries than we do now, but we don't have quite enough infrastructure to know that we can do so --- in particular there's no cheap way to know whether there are any whole-row join Vars. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble to add a Query-level flag for that, and in any case it seems like fit material for a separate patch. But even without skipping the work entirely, this should make flatten_join_alias_vars() faster, particularly where there are nested joins that it previously had to flatten recursively. An essential part of this change is to replace Var nodes' varnoold/varoattno fields with varnosyn/varattnosyn, which have considerably more tightly-defined meanings than the old fields: when they differ from varno/varattno, they identify the Var's position in an aliased JOIN RTE, and the join alias is what ruleutils.c should print for the Var. This is necessary because the varno change destroyed ruleutils.c's ability to find the JOIN RTE from the Var's varno. Another way in which this change broke ruleutils.c is that it's no longer feasible to determine, from a JOIN RTE's joinaliasvars list, which join columns correspond to which columns of the join's immediate input relations. (If those are sub-joins, the joinaliasvars entries may point to columns of their base relations, not the sub-joins.) But that was a horrid mess requiring a lot of fragile assumptions already, so let's just bite the bullet and add some more JOIN RTE fields to make it more straightforward to figure that out. I added two integer-List fields containing the relevant column numbers from the left and right input rels, plus a count of how many merged columns there are. This patch depends on the ParseNamespaceColumn infrastructure that I added in commit 5815696bc. The biggest bit of code change is restructuring transformFromClauseItem's handling of JOINs so that the ParseNamespaceColumn data is propagated upward correctly. Other than that and the ruleutils fixes, everything pretty much just works, though some processing is now inessential. I grabbed two pieces of low-hanging fruit in that line: 1. In find_expr_references, we don't need to recurse into join alias Vars anymore. There aren't any except for references to merged USING columns, which are more properly handled when we scan the join's RTE. This change actually fixes an edge-case issue: we will now record a dependency on any type-coercion function present in a USING column's joinaliasvar, even if that join column has no references in the query text. The odds of the missing dependency causing a problem seem quite small: you'd have to posit somebody dropping an implicit cast between two data types, without removing the types themselves, and then having a stored rule containing a whole-row Var for a join whose USING merge depends on that cast. So I don't feel a great need to change this in the back branches. But in theory this way is more correct. 2. markRTEForSelectPriv and markTargetListOrigin don't need to recurse into join alias Vars either, because the cases they care about don't apply to alias Vars for USING columns that are semantically distinct from the underlying columns. This removes the only case in which markVarForSelectPriv could be called with NULL for the RTE, so adjust the comments to describe that hack as being strictly internal to markRTEForSelectPriv. catversion bump required due to changes in stored rules.

* Fix typmod exposed for scalar function in FROM, too.Tom Lane2020-01-02

* Fix collation exposed for scalar function in FROM.Tom Lane2020-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | One code path in addRangeTableEntryForFunction() neglected to assign a collation to the tupdesc entry it constructs (which is a bit odd considering the other path did do so). This didn't matter before commit 5815696bc, because nothing would look at the type data in this tupdesc; but now it does. While at it, make sure we assign the correct typmod as well. Most function expressions don't have a determinate typmod, but some do. Per buildfarm, which showed failures in non-C collations, a case I'd not thought to test for this patch :-(
* Make parser rely more heavily on the ParseNamespaceItem data structure.Tom Lane2020-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I added the ParseNamespaceItem data structure (in commit 5ebaaa494), it wasn't very tightly integrated into the parser's APIs. In the wake of adding p_rtindex to that struct (commit b541e9acc), there is a good reason to make more use of it: by passing around ParseNamespaceItem pointers instead of bare RTE pointers, we can get rid of various messy methods for passing back or deducing the rangetable index of an RTE during parsing. Hence, refactor the addRangeTableEntryXXX functions to build and return a ParseNamespaceItem struct, not just the RTE proper; and replace addRTEtoQuery with addNSItemToQuery, which is passed a ParseNamespaceItem rather than building one internally. Also, add per-column data (a ParseNamespaceColumn array) to each ParseNamespaceItem. These arrays are built during addRangeTableEntryXXX, where we have column type data at hand so that it's nearly free to fill the data structure. Later, when we need to build Vars referencing RTEs, we can use the ParseNamespaceColumn info to avoid the rather expensive operations done in get_rte_attribute_type() or expandRTE(). get_rte_attribute_type() is indeed dead code now, so I've removed it. This makes for a useful improvement in parse analysis speed, around 20% in one moderately-complex test query. The ParseNamespaceColumn structs also include Var identity information (varno/varattno). That info isn't actually being used in this patch, except that p_varno == 0 is a handy test for a dropped column. A follow-on patch will make more use of it.

* Refactor parser's generation of Var nodes.Tom Lane2019-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of passing around a pointer to the RangeTblEntry that provides the desired column, pass a pointer to the associated ParseNamespaceItem. The RTE is trivially reachable from the nsitem, and having the ParseNamespaceItem allows access to additional information. As proof of concept for that, add the rangetable index to ParseNamespaceItem, and use that to get rid of RTERangeTablePosn searches. (I have in mind to teach the parser to generate some different representation for Vars that are nullable by outer joins, and keeping the necessary information in ParseNamespaceItems seems like a reasonable approach to that. But whether that ever happens or not, this seems like good cleanup.) Also refactor the code around scanRTEForColumn so that the "fuzzy match" stuff does not leak out of parse_relation.c.

* Refactor attribute mappings used in logical tuple conversionMichael Paquier2019-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for inheritance tree and partitions). This makes use of attribute mappings, which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length matching the number of attributes of the outer relation. The length of the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect mapping length. This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from tupconvert.c. This merges the attribute mapping with its length, avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this is computed once, when the map is built. This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in dc816e58, which has used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer relation (a partitioned table).

* Disallow non-default collation in ADD PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE USING INDEX.Tom Lane2019-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a uniqueness constraint using a pre-existing index, we have always required that the index have the same properties you'd get if you just let a new index get built. However, when collations were added, we forgot to add the index's collation to that check. It's hard to trip over this without intentionally trying to break it: you'd have to explicitly specify a different collation in CREATE INDEX, then convert it to a pkey or unique constraint. Still, if you did that, pg_dump would emit a script that fails to reproduce the index's collation. The main practical problem is that after a pg_upgrade the index would be corrupt, because its actual physical order wouldn't match what pg_index says. A more theoretical issue, which is new as of v12, is that if you create the index with a nondeterministic collation then it wouldn't be enforcing the normal notion of uniqueness, causing the constraint to mean something different from a normally-created constraint. To fix, just add collation to the conditions checked for index acceptability in ADD PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE USING INDEX. We won't try to clean up after anybody who's already created such a situation; it seems improbable enough to not be worth the effort involved. (If you do get into trouble, a REINDEX should be enough to fix it.) In principle this is a long-standing bug, but I chose not to back-patch --- the odds of causing trouble seem about as great as the odds of preventing it, and both risks are very low anyway.
