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

* Rethink how to get float.h in old Windows API for isnan/isinfAlvaro Herrera2018-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We include <float.h> in every place that needs isnan(), because MSVC used to require it. However, since MSVC 2013 that's no longer necessary (cf. commit cec8394b5ccd), so we can retire the inclusion to a version-specific stanza in win32_port.h, where it doesn't need to pollute random .c files. The header is of course still needed in a few places for other reasons. I (Álvaro) removed float.h from a few more files than in Emre's original patch. This doesn't break the build in my system, but we'll see what the buildfarm has to say about it all.

* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2018e.Tom Lane2018-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in North Korea. Redefinition of "daylight savings" in Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and Czechoslovakia. Additional historical corrections for Czechoslovakia. With this change, the IANA database models Irish timekeeping as following "standard time" in summer, and "daylight savings" in winter, so that the daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour ahead. This does not change their UTC offset (+1:00 in summer, 0:00 in winter) nor their timezone abbreviations (IST in summer, GMT in winter), though now "IST" is more correctly read as "Irish Standard Time" not "Irish Summer Time". However, the "is_dst" column in the pg_timezone_names view will now be true in winter and false in summer for the Europe/Dublin zone. Similar changes were made for Namibia between 1994 and 2017, and for Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1947. So far as I can find, no Postgres internal logic cares about which way tm_isdst is reported; in particular, since commit b2cbced9e we do not rely on it to decide how to interpret ambiguous timestamps during DST transitions. So I don't think this change will affect any Postgres behavior other than the timezone-view outputs. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/30996.1525445902@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Clean up warnings from -Wimplicit-fallthrough.Tom Lane2018-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent gcc can warn about switch-case fall throughs that are not explicitly labeled as intentional. This seems like a good thing, so clean up the warnings exposed thereby by labeling all such cases with comments that gcc will recognize. In files that already had one or more suitable comments, I generally matched the existing style of those. Otherwise I went with /* FALLTHROUGH */, which is one of the spellings approved at the more-restrictive-than-default level -Wimplicit-fallthrough=4. (At the default level you can also spell it /* FALL ?THRU */, and it's not picky about case. What you can't do is include additional text in the same comment, so some existing comments containing versions of this aren't good enough.) Testing with gcc 8.0.1 (Fedora 28's current version), I found that I also had to put explicit "break"s after elog(ERROR) or ereport(ERROR); apparently, for this purpose gcc doesn't recognize that those don't return. That seems like possibly a gcc bug, but it's fine because in most places we did that anyway; so this amounts to a visit from the style police.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings. The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so those are left as is when using those APIs. In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>
* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

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

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Suppress "Factory" zone in pg_timezone_names view for tzdata >= 2016g.Tom Lane2016-10-19
| | | | | | IANA got rid of the really silly "abbreviation" and replaced it with one that's only moderately silly. But it's still pointless, so keep on not showing it.
* Don't require dynamic timezone abbreviations to match underlying time zone.Tom Lane2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry. That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth. Their current policy is to remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made them into dynamic abbreviations. So with newer IANA database versions that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug #14307 from Neil Anderson. It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the whole view result in one call). We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA changes. Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any "orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone. It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong" abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely. (Also, this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time zone name.) Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

* Fix j2day() to behave sanely for negative Julian dates.Tom Lane2016-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somebody had apparently once figured that casting to unsigned int would produce the right output for negative inputs, but that would only be true if 2^32 were a multiple of 7, which of course it ain't. We need to use a signed division and then correct the sign of the remainder. AFAICT, the only case where this would arise currently is when doing ISO-week calculations for dates in 4714BC, where we'd compute a negative Julian date representing 4714-01-04BC and then do some arithmetic with it. Since we don't even really document support for such dates, this is not of much consequence. But we may as well get it right. Per report from Vitaly Burovoy.
* Be more careful about out-of-range dates and timestamps.Tom Lane2016-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tighten the semantics of boundary-case timestamptz so that we allow timestamps >= '4714-11-24 00:00+00 BC' and < 'ENDYEAR-01-01 00:00+00 AD' exactly, no more and no less, but it is allowed to enter timestamps within that range using non-GMT timezone offsets (which could make the nominal date 4714-11-23 BC or ENDYEAR-01-01 AD). This eliminates dump/reload failure conditions for timestamps near the endpoints. To do this, separate checking of the inputs for date2j() from the final range check, and allow the Julian date code to handle a range slightly wider than the nominal range of the datatypes. Also add a bunch of checks to detect out-of-range dates and timestamps that formerly could be returned by operations such as date-plus-integer. All C-level functions that return date, timestamp, or timestamptz should now be proof against returning a value that doesn't pass IS_VALID_DATE() or IS_VALID_TIMESTAMP().

* Improve speed of timestamp/time/date output functions.Tom Lane2016-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | It seems that sprintf(), at least in glibc's version, is unreasonably slow compared to hand-rolled code for printing integers. Replacing most uses of sprintf() in the datetime.c output functions with special-purpose code turns out to give more than a 2X speedup in COPY of a table with a single timestamp column; which is pretty impressive considering all the other logic in that code path.

* Replace a bunch more uses of strncpy() with safer coding.Tom Lane2015-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strncpy() has a well-deserved reputation for being unsafe, so make an effort to get rid of nearly all occurrences in HEAD. A large fraction of the remaining uses were passing length less than or equal to the known strlen() of the source, in which case no null-padding can occur and the behavior is equivalent to memcpy(), though doubtless slower and certainly harder to reason about. So just use memcpy() in these cases. In other cases, use either StrNCpy() or strlcpy() as appropriate (depending on whether padding to the full length of the destination buffer seems useful). I left a few strncpy() calls alone in the src/timezone/ code, to keep it in sync with upstream (the IANA tzcode distribution). There are also a few such calls in ecpg that could possibly do with more analysis. AFAICT, none of these changes are more than cosmetic, except for the four occurrences in fe-secure-openssl.c, which are in fact buggy: an overlength source leads to a non-null-terminated destination buffer and ensuing misbehavior. These don't seem like security issues, first because no stack clobber is possible and second because if your values of sslcert etc are coming from untrusted sources then you've got problems way worse than this. Still, it's undesirable to have unpredictable behavior for overlength inputs, so back-patch those four changes to all active branches.

* Support timezone abbreviations that sometimes change.Tom Lane2014-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, PG has assumed that any given timezone abbreviation (such as "EDT") represents a constant GMT offset in the usage of any particular region; we had a way to configure what that offset was, but not for it to be changeable over time. But, as with most things horological, this view of the world is too simplistic: there are numerous regions that have at one time or another switched to a different GMT offset but kept using the same timezone abbreviation. Almost the entire Russian Federation did that a few years ago, and later this month they're going to do it again. And there are similar examples all over the world. To cope with this, invent the notion of a "dynamic timezone abbreviation", which is one that is referenced to a particular underlying timezone (as defined in the IANA timezone database) and means whatever it currently means in that zone. For zones that use or have used daylight-savings time, the standard and DST abbreviations continue to have the property that you can specify standard or DST time and get that time offset whether or not DST was theoretically in effect at the time. However, the abbreviations mean what they meant at the time in question (or most recently before that time) rather than being absolutely fixed. The standard abbreviation-list files have been changed to use this behavior for abbreviations that have actually varied in meaning since 1970. The old simple-numeric definitions are kept for abbreviations that have not changed, since they are a bit faster to resolve. While this is clearly a new feature, it seems necessary to back-patch it into all active branches, because otherwise use of Russian zone abbreviations is going to become even more problematic than it already was. This change supersedes the changes in commit 513d06ded et al to modify the fixed meanings of the Russian abbreviations; since we've not shipped that yet, this will avoid an undesirably incompatible (not to mention incorrect) change in behavior for timestamps between 2011 and 2014. This patch makes some cosmetic changes in ecpglib to keep its usage of datetime lookup tables as similar as possible to the backend code, but doesn't do anything about the increasingly obsolete set of timezone abbreviation definitions that are hard-wired into ecpglib. Whatever we do about that will likely not be appropriate material for back-patching. Also, a potential free() of a garbage pointer after an out-of-memory failure in ecpglib has been fixed. This patch also fixes pre-existing bugs in DetermineTimeZoneOffset() that caused it to produce unexpected results near a timezone transition, if both the "before" and "after" states are marked as standard time. We'd only ever thought about or tested transitions between standard and DST time, but that's not what's happening when a zone simply redefines their base GMT offset. In passing, update the SGML documentation to refer to the Olson/zoneinfo/ zic timezone database as the "IANA" database, since it's now being maintained under the auspices of IANA.

* Prevent potential overruns of fixed-size buffers.Tom Lane2014-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a string being copied into a fixed-size buffer would fit. We believe that most, perhaps all of these are in fact safe, or are copying data that is coming from a trusted source so that any overrun is not really a security issue. Nonetheless it seems prudent to forestall any risk by using strlcpy() and similar functions. Fixes by Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich based on Coverity reports. In addition, fix a potential null-pointer-dereference crash in contrib/chkpass. The crypt(3) function is defined to return NULL on failure, but chkpass.c didn't check for that before using the result. The main practical case in which this could be an issue is if libc is configured to refuse to execute unapproved hashing algorithms (e.g., "FIPS mode"). This ideally should've been a separate commit, but since it touches code adjacent to one of the buffer overrun changes, I included it in this commit to avoid last-minute merge issues. This issue was reported by Honza Horak. Security: CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt()

* Make various variables const (read-only).Tom Lane2014-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These changes should generally improve correctness/maintainability. A nice side benefit is that several kilobytes move from initialized data to text segment, allowing them to be shared across processes and probably reducing copy-on-write overhead while forking a new backend. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help libpq in the same way (at least not when it's compiled with -fpic on x86_64), but we can hope the linker at least collects all nominally-const data together even if it's not actually part of the text segment. Also, make pg_encname_tbl[] static in encnames.c, since there seems no very good reason for any other code to use it; per a suggestion from Wim Lewis, who independently submitted a patch that was mostly a subset of this one.

* Fix some odd behaviors when using a SQL-style simple GMT offset timezone.Tom Lane2013-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, when using a SQL-spec timezone setting with a fixed GMT offset (called a "brute force" timezone in the code), the session_timezone variable was not updated to match the nominal timezone; rather, all code was expected to ignore session_timezone if HasCTZSet was true. This is of course obviously fragile, though a search of the code finds only timeofday() failing to honor the rule. A bigger problem was that DetermineTimeZoneOffset() supposed that if its pg_tz parameter was pointer-equal to session_timezone, then HasCTZSet should override the parameter. This would cause datetime input containing an explicit zone name to be treated as referencing the brute-force zone instead, if the zone name happened to match the session timezone that had prevailed before installing the brute-force zone setting (as reported in bug #8572). The same malady could affect AT TIME ZONE operators. To fix, set up session_timezone so that it matches the brute-force zone specification, which we can do using the POSIX timezone definition syntax "<abbrev>offset", and get rid of the bogus lookaside check in DetermineTimeZoneOffset(). Aside from fixing the erroneous behavior in datetime parsing and AT TIME ZONE, this will cause the timeofday() function to print its result in the user-requested time zone rather than some previously-set zone. It might also affect results in third-party extensions, if there are any that make use of session_timezone without considering HasCTZSet, but in all cases the new behavior should be saner than before. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.
* Allow text timezone designations, e.g. "America/Chicago", when using theBruce Momjian2012-08-25

* Fix bugs with parsing signed hh:mm and hh:mm:ss fields in interval input.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DecodeInterval() failed to honor the "range" parameter (the special SQL syntax for indicating which fields appear in the literal string) if the time was signed. This seems inappropriate, so make it work like the not-signed case. The inconsistency was introduced in my commit f867339c0148381eb1d01f93ab5c79f9d10211de, which as noted in its log message was only really focused on making SQL-compliant literals work per spec. Including a sign here is not per spec, but if we're going to allow it then it's reasonable to expect it to work like the not-signed case. Also, remove bogus setting of tmask, which caused subsequent processing to think that what had been given was a timezone and not an hh:mm(:ss) field, thus confusing checks for redundant fields. This seems to be an aboriginal mistake in Lockhart's commit 2cf1642461536d0d8f3a1cf124ead0eac04eb760. Add regression test cases to illustrate the changed behaviors. Back-patch as far as 8.4, where support for spec-compliant interval literals was added. Range problem reported and diagnosed by Amit Kapila, tmask problem by me.

* Expand the allowed range of timezone offsets to +/-15:59:59 from Greenwich.Tom Lane2012-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to only allow offsets less than +/-13 hours, then it was +/14, then it was +/-15. That's still not good enough though, as per today's bug report from Patric Bechtel. This time I actually looked through the Olson timezone database to find the largest offsets used anywhere. The winners are Asia/Manila, at -15:56:00 until 1844, and America/Metlakatla, at +15:13:42 until 1867. So we'd better allow offsets less than +/-16 hours. Given the history, we are way overdue to have some greppable #define symbols controlling this, so make some ... and also remove an obsolete comment that didn't get fixed the last time. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Code review for protransform patches.Tom Lane2012-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix loss of previous expression-simplification work when a transform function fires: we must not simply revert to untransformed input tree. Instead build a dummy FuncExpr node to pass to the transform function. This has the additional advantage of providing a simpler, more uniform API for transform functions. Move documentation to a somewhat less buried spot, relocate some poorly-placed code, be more wary of null constants and invalid typmod values, add an opr_sanity check on protransform function signatures, and some other minor cosmetic adjustments. Note: although this patch touches pg_proc.h, no need for catversion bump, because the changes are cosmetic and don't actually change the intended catalog contents.
* Add const qualifier to tzn returned by timestamp2tm()Peter Eisentraut2012-03-15
| | | | | The tzn value might come from tm->tm_zone, which libc declares as const, so it's prudent that the upper layers know about this as well.
* Improve EncodeDateTime and EncodeTimeOnly APIsPeter Eisentraut2012-03-14
| | | | | Use an explicit argument to tell whether to include the time zone in the output, rather than using some undocumented pointer magic.
* Add transform functions for various temporal typmod coercisions.Robert Haas2012-02-08
