* Allow compute_query_id to be set to 'auto' and make it defaultAlvaro Herrera2021-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allowing only on/off meant that all either all existing configuration guides would become obsolete if we disabled it by default, or that we would have to accept a performance loss in the default config if we enabled it by default. By allowing 'auto' as a middle ground, the performance cost is only paid by those who enable pg_stat_statements and similar modules. I only edited the release notes to comment-out a paragraph that is now factually wrong; further edits are probably needed to describe the related change in more detail.

* Refactor CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to add flexibility.Tom Lane2021-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split up CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to provide an additional macro INTERRUPTS_PENDING_CONDITION(), which just tests whether an interrupt is pending without attempting to service it. This is useful in situations where the caller knows that interrupts are blocked, and would like to find out if it's worth the trouble to unblock them. Also add INTERRUPTS_CAN_BE_PROCESSED(), which indicates whether CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() can be relied on to clear the pending interrupt. This commit doesn't actually add any uses of the new macros, but a follow-on bug fix will do so. Back-patch to all supported branches to provide infrastructure for that fix.

* Disallow calling anything but plain functions via the fastpath API.Tom Lane2021-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reject aggregates, window functions, and procedures. Aggregates failed anyway, though with a somewhat obscure error message. Window functions would hit an Assert or null-pointer dereference. Procedures seemed to work as long as you didn't try to do transaction control, but (a) transaction control is sort of the point of a procedure, and (b) it's not entirely clear that no bugs lurk in that path. Given the lack of testing of this area, it seems safest to be conservative in what we support. Also reject proretset functions, as the fastpath protocol can't support returning a set. Also remove an easily-triggered assertion that the given OID isn't 0; the subsequent lookups can handle that case themselves. Per report from Theodor-Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin.

* Add heuristic incoming-message-size limits in the server.Tom Lane2021-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had a report of confusing server behavior caused by a client bug that sent junk to the server: the server thought the junk was a very long message length and waited patiently for data that would never come. We can reduce the risk of that by being less trusting about message lengths. For a long time, libpq has had a heuristic rule that it wouldn't believe large message size words, except for a small number of message types that are expected to be (potentially) long. This provides some defense against loss of message-boundary sync and other corrupted-data cases. The server does something similar, except that up to now it only limited the lengths of messages received during the connection authentication phase. Let's do the same as in libpq and put restrictions on the allowed length of all messages, while distinguishing between message types that are expected to be long and those that aren't. I used a limit of 10000 bytes for non-long messages. (libpq's corresponding limit is 30000 bytes, but given the asymmetry of the FE/BE protocol, there's no good reason why the numbers should be the same.) Experimentation suggests that this is at least a factor of 10, maybe a factor of 100, more than we really need; but plenty of daylight seems desirable to avoid false positives. In any case we can adjust the limit based on beta-test results. For long messages, set a limit of MaxAllocSize - 1, which is the most that we can absorb into the StringInfo buffer that the message is collected in. This just serves to make sure that a bogus message size is reported as such, rather than as a confusing gripe about not being able to enlarge a string buffer. While at it, make sure that non-mainline code paths (such as COPY FROM STDIN) are as paranoid as SocketBackend is, and validate the message type code before believing the message length. This provides an additional guard against getting stuck on corrupted input. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2003757.1619373089@sss.pgh.pa.us

* SQL-standard function bodyPeter Eisentraut2021-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for writing CREATE FUNCTION and CREATE PROCEDURE statements for language SQL with a function body that conforms to the SQL standard and is portable to other implementations. Instead of the PostgreSQL-specific AS $$ string literal $$ syntax, this allows writing out the SQL statements making up the body unquoted, either as a single statement: CREATE FUNCTION add(a integer, b integer) RETURNS integer LANGUAGE SQL RETURN a + b; or as a block CREATE PROCEDURE insert_data(a integer, b integer) LANGUAGE SQL BEGIN ATOMIC INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (a); INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (b); END; The function body is parsed at function definition time and stored as expression nodes in a new pg_proc column prosqlbody. So at run time, no further parsing is required. However, this form does not support polymorphic arguments, because there is no more parse analysis done at call time. Dependencies between the function and the objects it uses are fully tracked. A new RETURN statement is introduced. This can only be used inside function bodies. Internally, it is treated much like a SELECT statement. psql needs some new intelligence to keep track of function body boundaries so that it doesn't send off statements when it sees semicolons that are inside a function body.

* Add function to log the memory contexts of specified backend process.Fujii Masao2021-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3e98c0bafb added pg_backend_memory_contexts view to display the memory contexts of the backend process. However its target process is limited to the backend that is accessing to the view. So this is not so convenient when investigating the local memory bloat of other backend process. To improve this situation, this commit adds pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() function that requests to log the memory contexts of the specified backend process. This information can be also collected by calling MemoryContextStats(TopMemoryContext) via a debugger. But this technique cannot be used in some environments because no debugger is available there. So, pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() allows us to see the memory contexts of specified backend more easily. Only superusers are allowed to request to log the memory contexts because allowing any users to issue this request at an unbounded rate would cause lots of log messages and which can lead to denial of service. On receipt of the request, at the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(), the target backend logs its memory contexts at LOG_SERVER_ONLY level, so that these memory contexts will appear in the server log but not be sent to the client. It logs one message per memory context. Because if it buffers all memory contexts into StringInfo to log them as one message, which may require the buffer to be enlarged very much and lead to OOM error since there can be a large number of memory contexts in a backend. When a backend process is consuming huge memory, logging all its memory contexts might overrun available disk space. To prevent this, now this patch limits the number of child contexts to log per parent to 100. As with MemoryContextStats(), it supposes that practical cases where the log gets long will typically be huge numbers of siblings under the same parent context; while the additional debugging value from seeing details about individual siblings beyond 100 will not be large. There was another proposed patch to add the function to return the memory contexts of specified backend as the result sets, instead of logging them, in the discussion. However that patch is not included in this commit because it had several issues to address.

* Extended statistics on expressionsTomas Vondra2021-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow defining extended statistics on expressions, not just just on simple column references. With this commit, expressions are supported by all existing extended statistics kinds, improving the same types of estimates. A simple example may look like this: CREATE TABLE t (a int); CREATE STATISTICS s ON mod(a,10), mod(a,20) FROM t; ANALYZE t; The collected statistics are useful e.g. to estimate queries with those expressions in WHERE or GROUP BY clauses: SELECT * FROM t WHERE mod(a,10) = 0 AND mod(a,20) = 0; SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY mod(a,10), mod(a,20); This introduces new internal statistics kind 'e' (expressions) which is built automatically when the statistics object definition includes any expressions. This represents single-expression statistics, as if there was an expression index (but without the index maintenance overhead). The statistics is stored in pg_statistics_ext_data as an array of composite types, which is possible thanks to 79f6a942bd. CREATE STATISTICS allows building statistics on a single expression, in which case in which case it's not possible to specify statistics kinds. A new system view pg_stats_ext_exprs can be used to display expression statistics, similarly to pg_stats and pg_stats_ext views. ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... TYPE now treats indexes the same way it treats indexes, i.e. it drops and recreates the statistics. This means all statistics are reset, and we no longer try to preserve at least the functional dependencies. This should not be a major issue in practice, as the functional dependencies actually rely on per-column statistics, which were always reset anyway.

* ALTER TABLE ... DETACH PARTITION ... CONCURRENTLYAlvaro Herrera2021-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow a partition be detached from its partitioned table without blocking concurrent queries, by running in two transactions and only requiring ShareUpdateExclusive in the partitioned table. Because it runs in two transactions, it cannot be used in a transaction block. This is the main reason to use dedicated syntax: so that users can choose to use the original mode if they need it. But also, it doesn't work when a default partition exists (because an exclusive lock would still need to be obtained on it, in order to change its partition constraint.) In case the second transaction is cancelled or a crash occurs, there's ALTER TABLE .. DETACH PARTITION .. FINALIZE, which executes the final steps. The main trick to make this work is the addition of column pg_inherits.inhdetachpending, initially false; can only be set true in the first part of this command. Once that is committed, concurrent transactions that use a PartitionDirectory will include or ignore partitions so marked: in optimizer they are ignored if the row is marked committed for the snapshot; in executor they are always included. As a result, and because of the way PartitionDirectory caches partition descriptors, queries that were planned before the detach will see the rows in the detached partition and queries that are planned after the detach, won't. A CHECK constraint is created that duplicates the partition constraint. This is probably not strictly necessary, and some users will prefer to remove it afterwards, but if the partition is re-attached to a partitioned table, the constraint needn't be rechecked.

* Remove server and libpq support for old FE/BE protocol version 2.Heikki Linnakangas2021-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Protocol version 3 was introduced in PostgreSQL 7.4. There shouldn't be many clients or servers left out there without version 3 support. But as a courtesy, I kept just enough of the old protocol support that we can still send the "unsupported protocol version" error in v2 format, so that old clients can display the message properly. Likewise, libpq still understands v2 ErrorResponse messages when establishing a connection. The impetus to do this now is that I'm working on a patch to COPY FROM, to always prefetch some data.

* Allow multiple xacts during table sync in logical replication.Amit Kapila2021-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the initial table data synchronization in logical replication, we use a single transaction to copy the entire table and then synchronize the position in the stream with the main apply worker. There are multiple downsides of this approach: (a) We have to perform the entire copy operation again if there is any error (network breakdown, error in the database operation, etc.) while we synchronize the WAL position between tablesync worker and apply worker; this will be onerous especially for large copies, (b) Using a single transaction in the synchronization-phase (where we can receive WAL from multiple transactions) will have the risk of exceeding the CID limit, (c) The slot will hold the WAL till the entire sync is complete because we never commit till the end. This patch solves all the above downsides by allowing multiple transactions during the tablesync phase. The initial copy is done in a single transaction and after that, we commit each transaction as we receive. To allow recovery after any error or crash, we use a permanent slot and origin to track the progress. The slot and origin will be removed once we finish the synchronization of the table. We also remove slot and origin of tablesync workers if the user performs DROP SUBSCRIPTION .. or ALTER SUBSCRIPTION .. REFERESH and some of the table syncs are still not finished. The commands ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION and ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION ... with refresh option as true cannot be executed inside a transaction block because they can now drop the slots for which we have no provision to rollback. This will also open up the path for logical replication of 2PC transactions on the subscriber side. Previously, we can't do that because of the requirement of maintaining a single transaction in tablesync workers. Bump catalog version due to change of state in the catalog (pg_subscription_rel).

* Avoid crash when rolling back within a prepared statement.Tom Lane2021-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a portal is used to run a prepared CALL or DO statement that contains a ROLLBACK, PortalRunMulti fails because the portal's statement list gets cleared by the rollback. (Since the grammar doesn't allow CALL/DO in PREPARE, the only easy way to get to this is via extended query protocol, which treats all inputs as prepared statements.) It's difficult to avoid resetting the portal early because of resource-management issues, so work around this by teaching PortalRunMulti to be wary of portal->stmts having suddenly become NIL. The crash has only been seen to occur in v13 and HEAD (as a consequence of commit 1cff1b95a having added an extra touch of portal->stmts). But even before that, the code involved touching a List that the portal no longer has any claim on. In the test case at hand, the List will still exist because of another refcount on the cached plan; but I'm far from convinced that it's impossible for the cached plan to have been dropped by the time control gets back to PortalRunMulti. Hence, backpatch to v11 where nested transactions were added. Thomas Munro and Tom Lane, per bug #16811 from James Inform Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16811-c1b599b2c6c2d622@postgresql.org
* Improve performance of repeated CALLs within plpgsql procedures.Tom Lane2021-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch essentially is cleaning up technical debt left behind by the original implementation of plpgsql procedures, particularly commit d92bc83c4. That patch (or more precisely, follow-on patches fixing its worst bugs) forced us to re-plan CALL and DO statements each time through, if we're in a non-atomic context. That wasn't for any fundamental reason, but just because use of a saved plan requires having a ResourceOwner to hold a reference count for the plan, and we had no suitable resowner at hand, nor would the available APIs support using one if we did. While it's not that expensive to create a "plan" for CALL/DO, the cycles do add up in repeated executions. This patch therefore makes the following API changes: * GetCachedPlan/ReleaseCachedPlan are modified to let the caller specify which resowner to use to pin the plan, rather than forcing use of CurrentResourceOwner. * spi.c gains a "SPI_execute_plan_extended" entry point that lets callers say which resowner to use to pin the plan. This borrows the idea of an options struct from the recently added SPI_prepare_extended, hopefully allowing future options to be added without more API breaks. This supersedes SPI_execute_plan_with_paramlist (which I've marked deprecated) as well as SPI_execute_plan_with_receiver (which is new in v14, so I just took it out altogether). * I also took the opportunity to remove the crude hack of letting plpgsql reach into SPI private data structures to mark SPI plans as "no_snapshot". It's better to treat that as an option of SPI_prepare_extended. Now, when running a non-atomic procedure or DO block that contains any CALL or DO commands, plpgsql creates a ResourceOwner that will be used to pin the plans of the CALL/DO commands. (In an atomic context, we just use CurrentResourceOwner, as before.) Having done this, we can just save CALL/DO plans normally, whether or not they are used across transaction boundaries. This seems to be good for something like 2X speedup of a CALL of a trivial procedure with a few simple argument expressions. By restricting the creation of an extra ResourceOwner like this, there's essentially zero penalty in cases that can't benefit.

The code of REINDEX is restructured so as manual REINDEX commands go through a single routine from utility.c, like VACUUM, to ease the allocation handling of option parameters when a command needs to go through multiple transactions. This can be used as a base infrastructure for future patches related to those commands, including reindex filtering and tablespace support.

* Detect the deadlocks between backends and the startup process.Fujii Masao2021-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The deadlocks that the recovery conflict on lock is involved in can happen between hot-standby backends and the startup process. If a backend takes an access exclusive lock on the table and which finally triggers the deadlock, that deadlock can be detected as expected. On the other hand, previously, if the startup process took an access exclusive lock and which finally triggered the deadlock, that deadlock could not be detected and could remain even after deadlock_timeout passed. This is a bug. The cause of this bug was that the code for handling the recovery conflict on lock didn't take care of deadlock case at all. It assumed that deadlocks involving the startup process and backends were able to be detected by the deadlock detector invoked within backends. But this assumption was incorrect. The startup process also should have invoked the deadlock detector if necessary. To fix this bug, this commit makes the startup process invoke the deadlock detector if deadlock_timeout is reached while handling the recovery conflict on lock. Specifically, in that case, the startup process requests all the backends holding the conflicting locks to check themselves for deadlocks. Back-patch to v9.6. v9.5 has also this bug, but per discussion we decided not to back-patch the fix to v9.5. Because v9.5 doesn't have some infrastructure codes (e.g., 37c54863cf) that this bug fix patch depends on. We can apply those codes for the back-patch, but since the next minor version release is the final one for v9.5, it's risky to do that. If we unexpectedly introduce new bug to v9.5 by the back-patch, there is no chance to fix that. We determined that the back-patch to v9.5 would give more risk than gain.

* Re-implement pl/pgsql's expression and assignment parsing.Tom Lane2021-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser. This moves a good deal of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious) historical behavior for assignment coercions. That's getting away from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago. The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays. That fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14. There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing "SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text. Also, there seem to be some small speed gains. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4165684.1607707277@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Add the ability for the core grammar to have more than one parse target.Tom Lane2021-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch essentially allows gram.y to implement a family of related syntax trees, rather than necessarily always parsing a list of SQL statements. raw_parser() gains a new argument, enum RawParseMode, to say what to do. As proof of concept, add a mode that just parses a TypeName without any other decoration, and use that to greatly simplify typeStringToTypeName(). In addition, invent a new SPI entry point SPI_prepare_extended() to allow SPI users (particularly plpgsql) to get at this new functionality. In hopes of making this the last variant of SPI_prepare(), set up its additional arguments as a struct rather than direct arguments, and promise that future additions to the struct can default to zero. SPI_prepare_cursor() and SPI_prepare_params() can perhaps go away at some point. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4165684.1607707277@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Suppress log spam from multiple reports of SIGQUIT shutdown.Tom Lane2020-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the postmaster sends SIGQUIT to its children, there's no real need for all the children to log that fact; the postmaster already made a log entry about it, so adding perhaps dozens or hundreds of child-process log entries adds nothing of value. So, let's introduce a new ereport level to specify "WARNING, but never send to log" and use that for these messages. Such a change wouldn't have been desirable before commit 7e784d1dc, because if someone manually SIGQUIT's a backend, we *do* want to log that. But now we can tell the difference between a signal that was issued by the postmaster and one that was not with reasonable certainty. While we're here, also clear error_context_stack before ereport'ing, to prevent error callbacks from being invoked in the signal-handler context. This should reduce the odds of getting hung up while trying to notify the client. Per a suggestion from Andres Freund.

* Improve client error messages for immediate-stop situations.Tom Lane2020-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, if the DBA issued "pg_ctl stop -m immediate", the message sent to clients was the same as for a crash-and-restart situation. This is confusing, not least because the message claims that the database will soon be up again, something we have no business predicting. Improve things so that we can generate distinct messages for the two cases (and also recognize an ad-hoc SIGQUIT, should somebody try that). To do that, add a field to pmsignal.c's shared memory data structure that the postmaster sets just before broadcasting SIGQUIT to its children. No interlocking seems to be necessary; the intervening signal-sending and signal-receipt should sufficiently serialize accesses to the field. Hence, this isn't any riskier than the existing usages of pmsignal.c. We might in future extend this idea to improve other postmaster-to-children signal scenarios, although none of them currently seem to be as badly overloaded as SIGQUIT.

* Avoid spamming the client with multiple ParameterStatus messages.Tom Lane2020-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, we sent a ParameterStatus message to the client immediately upon any change in the active value of any GUC_REPORT variable. This was only barely okay when the feature was designed; now that we have things like function SET clauses, there are very plausible use-cases where a GUC_REPORT variable might change many times within a query --- and even end up back at its original value, perhaps. Fortunately most of our GUC_REPORT variables are unlikely to be changed often; but there are proposals in play to enlarge that set, or even make it user-configurable. Hence, let's fix things to not generate more than one ParameterStatus message per variable per query, and to not send any message at all unless the end-of-query value is different from what we last reported.

* Further fixes for CREATE TABLE LIKE: cope with self-referential FKs.Tom Lane2020-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 502898192 was too careless about the order of execution of the additional ALTER TABLE operations generated by expandTableLikeClause. It just stuck them all at the end, which seems okay for most purposes. But it falls down in the case where LIKE is importing a primary key or unique index and the outer CREATE TABLE includes a FOREIGN KEY constraint that needs to depend on that index. Weird as that is, it used to work, so we ought to keep it working. To fix, make parse_utilcmd.c insert LIKE clauses between index-creation and FK-creation commands in the transformed list of commands, and change utility.c so that the commands generated by expandTableLikeClause are executed immediately not at the end. One could imagine scenarios where this wouldn't work either; but currently expandTableLikeClause only makes column default expressions, CHECK constraints, and indexes, and this ordering seems fine for those. Per bug #16730 from Sofoklis Papasofokli. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16730-b902f7e6e0276b30@postgresql.org

* Fix bogus completion tag usage in walsenderAlvaro Herrera2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit fd5942c18f97 (2012, 9.3-era), walsender has been sending completion tags for certain replication commands twice -- and they're not even consistent. Apparently neither libpq nor JDBC have a problem with it, but it's not kosher. Fix by remove the EndCommand() call in the common code path for them all, and inserting specific calls to EndReplicationCommand() specifically in those places where it's needed. EndReplicationCommand() is a new simple function to send the completion tag for replication commands. Do this instead of sending a generic SELECT completion tag for them all, which was also pretty bogus (if innocuous). While at it, change StartReplication() to use EndReplicationCommand() instead of pg_puttextmessage(). In commit 2f9661311b83, I failed to realize that replication commands are not close-enough kin of regular SQL commands, so the DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT tag I added is undeserved and a type pun. Take it out. Backpatch to 13, where the latter commit appeared. The duplicate tag has been sent since 9.3, but since nothing is broken, it doesn't seem worth fixing. Per complaints from Tom Lane.

* Centralize setup of SIGQUIT handling for postmaster child processes.Tom Lane2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We decided that the policy established in commit 7634bd4f6 for the bgwriter, checkpointer, walwriter, and walreceiver processes, namely that they should accept SIGQUIT at all times, really ought to apply uniformly to all postmaster children. Therefore, get rid of the duplicative and inconsistent per-process code for establishing that signal handler and removing SIGQUIT from BlockSig. Instead, make InitPostmasterChild do it. The handler set up by InitPostmasterChild is SignalHandlerForCrashExit, which just summarily does _exit(2). In interactive backends, we almost immediately replace that with quickdie, since we would prefer to try to tell the client that we're dying. However, this patch is changing the behavior of autovacuum (both launcher and workers), as well as walsenders. Those processes formerly also used quickdie, but AFAICS that was just mindless copy-and-paste: they don't have any interactive client that's likely to benefit from being told this. The stats collector continues to be an outlier, in that it thinks SIGQUIT means normal exit. That should probably be changed for consistency, but there's another patch set where that's being dealt with, so I didn't do so here. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/644875.1599933441@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Add support for partitioned tables and indexes in REINDEXMichael Paquier2020-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, REINDEX was not able to work with partitioned tables and indexes, forcing users to reindex partitions one by one. This extends REINDEX INDEX and REINDEX TABLE so as they can accept a partitioned index and table in input, respectively, to reindex all the partitions assigned to them with physical storage (foreign tables, partitioned tables and indexes are then discarded). This shares some logic with schema and database REINDEX as each partition gets processed in its own transaction after building a list of relations to work on. This choice has the advantage to minimize the number of invalid indexes to one partition with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in the event a cancellation or failure in-flight, as the only indexes handled at once in a single REINDEX CONCURRENTLY loop are the ones from the partition being working on. Isolation tests are added to emulate some cases I bumped into while developing this feature, particularly with the concurrent drop of a leaf partition reindexed. However, this is rather limited as LOCK would cause REINDEX to block in the first transaction building the list of partitions. Per its multi-transaction nature, this new flavor cannot run in a transaction block, similarly to REINDEX SCHEMA, SYSTEM and DATABASE.

* Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.Tom Lane2020-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance, Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor). In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions, even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance parents. The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(), which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via inheritance. Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed DefineRelation(). The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults). Per bug #16272 from Tom Gottfried. The non-GENERATED variants of the issue are ancient, presumably dating right back to the addition of CREATE TABLE LIKE; hence back-patch to all supported branches.

* Rename field "relkind" to "objtype" for CTAS and ALTER TABLE nodesMichael Paquier2020-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "relkind" normally refers to the char field from pg_class. However, in the parse nodes AlterTableStmt and CreateTableAsStmt, "relkind" was used for a field of type enum ObjectType, that could refer to other object types than those possible for a relkind. Such fields being usually named "objtype", switch the name in both structures to make things more consistent. Note that this led to some confusion in functions that also operate on a RangeTableEntry object, which also has a field named "relkind". This naming goes back to commit 09d4e96, where only OBJECT_TABLE and OBJECT_INDEX were used. This got extended later to use as well OBJECT_TYPE with e440e12, not really a relation kind.

* Avoid using a cursor in plpgsql's RETURN QUERY statement.Tom Lane2020-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | plpgsql has always executed the query given in a RETURN QUERY command by opening it as a cursor and then fetching a few rows at a time, which it turns around and dumps into the function's result tuplestore. The point of this was to keep from blowing out memory with an oversized SPITupleTable result (note that while a tuplestore can spill tuples to disk, SPITupleTable cannot). However, it's rather inefficient, both because of extra data copying and because of executor entry/exit overhead. In recent versions, a new performance problem has emerged: use of a cursor prevents use of a parallel plan for the executed query. We can improve matters by skipping use of a cursor and having the executor push result tuples directly into the function's result tuplestore. However, a moderate amount of new infrastructure is needed to make that idea work: * We can use the existing tstoreReceiver.c DestReceiver code to funnel executor output to the tuplestore, but it has to be extended to support plpgsql's requirement for possibly applying a tuple conversion map. * SPI needs to be extended to allow use of a caller-supplied DestReceiver instead of its usual receiver that puts tuples into a SPITupleTable. Two new API calls are needed to handle both the RETURN QUERY and RETURN QUERY EXECUTE cases. I also felt that I didn't want these new API calls to use the legacy method of specifying query parameter values with "char" null flags (the old ' '/'n' convention); rather they should accept ParamListInfo objects containing the parameter type and value info. This required a bit of additional new infrastructure since we didn't yet have any parse analysis callback that would interpret $N parameter symbols according to type data supplied in a ParamListInfo. There seems to be no harm in letting makeParamList install that callback by default, rather than leaving a new ParamListInfo's parserSetup hook as NULL. (Indeed, as of HEAD, I couldn't find anyplace that was using the parserSetup field at all; plpgsql was using parserSetupArg for its own purposes, but parserSetup seemed to be write-only.) We can actually get plpgsql out of the business of using legacy null flags altogether, and using ParamListInfo instead of its ad-hoc PreparedParamsData structure; but this requires inventing one more SPI API call that can replace SPI_cursor_open_with_args. That seems worth doing, though. SPI_execute_with_args and SPI_cursor_open_with_args are now unused anywhere in the core PG distribution. Perhaps someday we could deprecate/remove them. But cleaning up the crufty bits of the SPI API is a task for a different patch. Per bug #16040 from Jeremy Smith. This is unfortunately too invasive to consider back-patching. Patch by me; thanks to Hamid Akhtar for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16040-eaacad11fecfb198@postgresql.org
