* Avoid testing tuple visibility without buffer lock in RI_FKey_check().Tom Lane2016-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Despite the argumentation I wrote in commit 7a2fe85b0, it's unsafe to do this, because in corner cases it's possible for HeapTupleSatisfiesSelf to try to set hint bits on the target tuple; and at least since 8.2 we have required the buffer content lock to be held while setting hint bits. The added regression test exercises one such corner case. Unpatched, it causes an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, or otherwise would cause a hint bit change in a buffer we don't hold lock on, which given the right race condition could result in checksum failures or other data consistency problems. The odds of a problem in the field are probably pretty small, but nonetheless back-patch to all supported branches. Report: <19391.1477244876@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITYStephen Frost2015-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow users to force RLS to always be applied, even for table owners, add ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY. row_security=off overrides FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY, to ensure pg_dump output is complete (by default). Also add SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS context to avoid data corruption when ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW SECURITY is being used. The SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS security context is used only during referential integrity checks and is only considered in check_enable_rls() after we have already checked that the current user is the owner of the relation (which should always be the case during referential integrity checks). Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
* Second try at fixing O(N^2) problem in foreign key references.Tom Lane2015-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces ill-fated commit 5ddc72887a012f6a8b85707ef27d85c274faf53d, which was reverted because it broke active uses of FK cache entries. In this patch, we still do nothing more to invalidatable cache entries than mark them as needing revalidation, so we won't break active uses. To keep down the overhead of InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack(), keep a list of just the currently-valid cache entries. (The entries are large enough that some added space for list links doesn't seem like a big problem.) This would still be O(N^2) when there are many valid entries, though, so when the list gets too long, just force the "sinval reset" behavior to remove everything from the list. I set the threshold at 1000 entries, somewhat arbitrarily. Possibly that could be fine-tuned later. Another item for future study is whether it's worth adding reference counting so that we could safely remove invalidated entries. As-is, problem cases are likely to end up with large and mostly invalid FK caches. Like the previous attempt, backpatch to 9.3. Jan Wieck and Tom Lane
* Remove the SECURITY_ROW_LEVEL_DISABLED security context bit.Noah Misch2015-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | This commit's parent made superfluous the bit's sole usage. Referential integrity checks have long run as the subject table's owner, and that now implies RLS bypass. Safe use of the bit was tricky, requiring strict control over the SQL expressions evaluating therein. Back-patch to 9.5, where the bit was introduced. Based on a patch by Stephen Frost.
* Revert "Fix an O(N^2) problem in foreign key references".Tom Lane2015-09-15
| | | | | | | | Commit 5ddc72887a012f6a8b85707ef27d85c274faf53d does not actually work because it will happily blow away ri_constraint_cache entries that are in active use in outer call levels. In any case, it's a very ugly, brute-force solution to the problem of limiting the cache size. Revert until it can be redesigned.
* Fix an O(N^2) problem in foreign key references.Kevin Grittner2015-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 45ba424f improved foreign key lookups during bulk updates when the FK value does not change. When restoring a schema dump from a database with many (say 100,000) foreign keys, this cache would grow very big and every ALTER TABLE command was causing an InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack(), which uses a sequential hash table scan. This could cause a severe performance regression in restoring a schema dump (including during pg_upgrade). The patch uses a heuristic method of detecting when the hash table should be destroyed and recreated. InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack() adds the current size of the hash table to a counter. When that sum reaches 1,000,000, the hash table is flushed. This fixes the regression without noticeable harm to the bulk update use case. Jan Wieck Backpatch to 9.3 where the performance regression was introduced.
* Plug RLS related information leak in pg_stats view.Joe Conway2015-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pg_stats view is supposed to be restricted to only show rows about tables the user can read. However, it sometimes can leak information which could not otherwise be seen when row level security is enabled. Fix that by not showing pg_stats rows to users that would be subject to RLS on the table the row is related to. This is done by creating/using the newly introduced SQL visible function, row_security_active(). Along the way, clean up three call sites of check_enable_rls(). The second argument of that function should only be specified as other than InvalidOid when we are checking as a different user than the current one, as in when querying through a view. These sites were passing GetUserId() instead of InvalidOid, which can cause the function to return incorrect results if the current user has the BYPASSRLS privilege and row_security has been set to OFF. Additionally fix a bug causing RI Trigger error messages to unintentionally leak information when RLS is enabled, and other minor cleanup and improvements. Also add WITH (security_barrier) to the definition of pg_stats. Bumped CATVERSION due to new SQL functions and pg_stats view definition. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced. Reported by Yaroslav. Patch by Joe Conway and Dean Rasheed with review and input by Michael Paquier and Stephen Frost.

* Fix column-privilege leak in error-message pathsStephen Frost2015-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While building error messages to return to the user, BuildIndexValueDescription, ExecBuildSlotValueDescription and ri_ReportViolation would happily include the entire key or entire row in the result returned to the user, even if the user didn't have access to view all of the columns being included. Instead, include only those columns which the user is providing or which the user has select rights on. If the user does not have any rights to view the table or any of the columns involved then no detail is provided and a NULL value is returned from BuildIndexValueDescription and ExecBuildSlotValueDescription. Note that, for key cases, the user must have access to all of the columns for the key to be shown; a partial key will not be returned. Further, in master only, do not return any data for cases where row security is enabled on the relation and row security should be applied for the user. This required a bit of refactoring and moving of things around related to RLS- note the addition of utils/misc/rls.c. Back-patch all the way, as column-level privileges are now in all supported versions. This has been assigned CVE-2014-8161, but since the issue and the patch have already been publicized on pgsql-hackers, there's no point in trying to hide this commit.

* Revert "Use a bitmask to represent role attributes"Alvaro Herrera2014-12-23
| | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 1826987a46d079458007b7b6bbcbbd852353adbb. The overall design was deemed unacceptable, in discussion following the previous commit message; we might find some parts of it still salvageable, but I don't want to be on the hook for fixing it, so let's wait until we have a new patch.
* Use a bitmask to represent role attributesAlvaro Herrera2014-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous representation using a boolean column for each attribute would not scale as well as we want to add further attributes. Extra auxilliary functions are added to go along with this change, to make up for the lost convenience of access of the old representation.

* Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions.Tom Lane2014-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes. This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys). There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely. In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before. For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

* Code review for row security.Stephen Frost2014-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm member tick identified an issue where the policies in the relcache for a relation were were being replaced underneath a running query, leading to segfaults while processing the policies to be added to a query. Similar to how TupleDesc RuleLocks are handled, add in a equalRSDesc() function to check if the policies have actually changed and, if not, swap back the rsdesc field (using the original instead of the temporairly built one; the whole structure is swapped and then specific fields swapped back). This now passes a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS for me and should resolve the buildfarm error. In addition to addressing this, add a new chapter in Data Definition under Privileges which explains row security and provides examples of its usage, change \d to always list policies (even if row security is disabled- but note that it is disabled, or enabled with no policies), rework check_role_for_policy (it really didn't need the entire policy, but it did need to be using has_privs_of_role()), and change the field in pg_class to relrowsecurity from relhasrowsecurity, based on Heikki's suggestion. Also from Heikki, only issue SET ROW_SECURITY in pg_restore when talking to a 9.5+ server, list Bypass RLS in \du, and document --enable-row-security options for pg_dump and pg_restore. Lastly, fix a number of minor whitespace and typo issues from Heikki, Dimitri, add a missing #include, per Peter E, fix a few minor variable-assigned-but-not-used and resource leak issues from Coverity and add tab completion for role attribute bypassrls as well.
* Row-Level Security Policies (RLS)Stephen Frost2014-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added to a table. Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions defined to check records being added to a table are added to the with-check options of the query. New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are controlled by the table owner. Row Security is able to be enabled and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY. Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and must be enabled for policies on the table to be used. If no policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny policy is used and no records will be visible. By default, row security is applied at all times except for the table owner and the superuser. A new GUC, row_security, is added which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE. When set to FORCE, row security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers. When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row security. Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security. A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled. A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row security using row_security = OFF. Many thanks to the various individuals who have helped with the design, particularly Robert Haas for his feedback. Authors include Craig Ringer, KaiGai Kohei, Adam Brightwell, Dean Rasheed, with additional changes and rework by me. Reviewers have included all of the above, Greg Smith, Jeff McCormick, and Robert Haas.
* Fix harmless access to uninitialized memory.Heikki Linnakangas2014-05-13

* Support ordered-set (WITHIN GROUP) aggregates.Tom Lane2013-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(), percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data. Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up. In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT. It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types but not these.

* Provide database object names as separate fields in error messages.Tom Lane2013-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses the problem that applications currently have to extract object names from possibly-localized textual error messages, if they want to know for example which index caused a UNIQUE_VIOLATION failure. It adds new error message fields to the wire protocol, which can carry the name of a table, table column, data type, or constraint associated with the error. (Since the protocol spec has always instructed clients to ignore unrecognized field types, this should not create any compatibility problem.) Support for providing these new fields has been added to just a limited set of error reports (mainly, those in the "integrity constraint violation" SQLSTATE class), but we will doubtless add them to more calls in future.

* Improve concurrency of foreign key lockingAlvaro Herrera2013-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces two additional lock modes for tuples: "SELECT FOR KEY SHARE" and "SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE". These don't block each other, in contrast with already existing "SELECT FOR SHARE" and "SELECT FOR UPDATE". UPDATE commands that do not modify the values stored in the columns that are part of the key of the tuple now grab a SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE lock on the tuple, allowing them to proceed concurrently with tuple locks of the FOR KEY SHARE variety. Foreign key triggers now use FOR KEY SHARE instead of FOR SHARE; this means the concurrency improvement applies to them, which is the whole point of this patch. The added tuple lock semantics require some rejiggering of the multixact module, so that the locking level that each transaction is holding can be stored alongside its Xid. Also, multixacts now need to persist across server restarts and crashes, because they can now represent not only tuple locks, but also tuple updates. This means we need more careful tracking of lifetime of pg_multixact SLRU files; since they now persist longer, we require more infrastructure to figure out when they can be removed. pg_upgrade also needs to be careful to copy pg_multixact files over from the old server to the new, or at least part of multixact.c state, depending on the versions of the old and new servers. Tuple time qualification rules (HeapTupleSatisfies routines) need to be careful not to consider tuples with the "is multi" infomask bit set as being only locked; they might need to look up MultiXact values (i.e. possibly do pg_multixact I/O) to find out the Xid that updated a tuple, whereas they previously were assured to only use information readily available from the tuple header. This is considered acceptable, because the extra I/O would involve cases that would previously cause some commands to block waiting for concurrent transactions to finish. Another important change is the fact that locking tuples that have previously been updated causes the future versions to be marked as locked, too; this is essential for correctness of foreign key checks. This causes additional WAL-logging, also (there was previously a single WAL record for a locked tuple; now there are as many as updated copies of the tuple there exist.) With all this in place, contention related to tuples being checked by foreign key rules should be much reduced. As a bonus, the old behavior that a subtransaction grabbing a stronger tuple lock than the parent (sub)transaction held on a given tuple and later aborting caused the weaker lock to be lost, has been fixed. Many new spec files were added for isolation tester framework, to ensure overall behavior is sane. There's probably room for several more tests. There were several reviewers of this patch; in particular, Noah Misch and Andres Freund spent considerable time in it. Original idea for the patch came from Simon Riggs, after a problem report by Joel Jacobson. Most code is from me, with contributions from Marti Raudsepp, Alexander Shulgin, Noah Misch and Andres Freund. This patch was discussed in several pgsql-hackers threads; the most important start at the following message-ids: AANLkTimo9XVcEzfiBR-ut3KVNDkjm2Vxh+t8kAmWjPuv@mail.gmail.com 1290721684-sup-3951@alvh.no-ip.org 1294953201-sup-2099@alvh.no-ip.org 1320343602-sup-2290@alvh.no-ip.org 1339690386-sup-8927@alvh.no-ip.org 4FE5FF020200002500048A3D@gw.wicourts.gov 4FEAB90A0200002500048B7D@gw.wicourts.gov

* 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.
* Remove incomplete/incorrect support for zero-column foreign keys.Tom Lane2012-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | The original coding in ri_triggers.c had partial support for the concept of zero-column foreign key constraints. But this is not defined in the SQL standard, nor was it ever allowed by any other part of Postgres, nor was it very fully implemented even here (eg there was no support for preventing PK-table deletions that would violate the constraint). Doesn't seem very useful to carry 100-plus lines of code for a corner case that no one is interested in making work. Instead, just add a check that the column list read from pg_constraint is non-empty.
* Cache the results of ri_FetchConstraintInfo in a backend-local cache.Tom Lane2012-06-20
| | | | | | | | | Extracting data from pg_constraint turned out to take as much as 10% of the runtime in a bulk-update case where the foreign key column wasn't changing, because we did it over again for each tuple. Fix that by maintaining a backend-local cache of the results. This is really a pretty small patch, but converting the trigger functions to work with pointers rather than local struct variables requires a lot of mechanical changes.
* Improve tests for whether we can skip queueing RI enforcement triggers.Tom Lane2012-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | During an update of a PK row, we can skip firing the RI trigger if any old key value is NULL, because then the row could not have had any matching rows in the FK table. Conversely, during an update of an FK row, the outcome is determined if any new key value is NULL. In either case it becomes unnecessary to compare individual key values. This patch was inspired by discussion of Vik Reykja's patch to use IS NOT DISTINCT semantics for the key comparisons. In the event there is no need for that and so this patch looks nothing like his, but he should still get credit for having re-opened consideration of the trigger skip logic.
* Share RI trigger code between NO ACTION and RESTRICT cases.Tom Lane2012-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | These triggers are identical except for whether ri_Check_Pk_Match is to be called, so factor out the common code to save a couple hundred lines. Also, eliminate null-column checks in ri_Check_Pk_Match, since they're duplicate with the calling functions and require unnecessary complication in its API statement. Simplify the way code is shared between RI_FKey_check_ins and RI_FKey_check_upd, too.
* Improve comments about why SET DEFAULT triggers must recheck for matches.Tom Lane2012-06-18
| | | | | | | | I was confused about this, so try to make it clearer for the next person. (This seems like a fairly inefficient way of dealing with a corner case, but I don't have a better idea offhand. Maybe if there were a way to turn off the RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_fk event filter temporarily?)
* Allow ON UPDATE/DELETE SET DEFAULT plans to be cached.Tom Lane2012-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time, somebody was worried that cached RI plans wouldn't get remade with new default values after ALTER TABLE ... SET DEFAULT, so they didn't allow caching of plans for ON UPDATE/DELETE SET DEFAULT actions. That time is long gone, though (and even at the time I doubt this was the greatest hazard posed by ALTER TABLE...). So allow these triggers to cache their plans just like the others. The cache_plan argument to ri_PlanCheck is now vestigial, since there are no callers that don't pass "true"; but I left it alone in case there is any future need for it.
* Remove derived fields from RI_QueryKey, and do a bit of other cleanup.Tom Lane2012-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | We really only need the foreign key constraint's OID and the query type code to uniquely identify each plan we are caching for FK checks. The other stuff that was in the struct had no business being used as part of a hash key, and was all just being copied from struct RI_ConstraintInfo anyway. Get rid of the unnecessary fields, and readjust various function APIs to make them use RI_ConstraintInfo not RI_QueryKey as info source. I'd be surprised if this makes any measurable performance difference, but it certainly feels cleaner.
* Update SQL spec references in ri_triggers code to match SQL:2008.Tom Lane2012-06-18
| | | | | | | | | Now that what we're implementing isn't SQL92, we probably shouldn't cite chapter and verse in that spec anymore. Also fix some comments that talked about MATCH FULL but in fact were in code that's also used for MATCH SIMPLE. No code changes in this commit, just comments.
* Change ON UPDATE SET NULL/SET DEFAULT referential actions to meet SQL spec.Tom Lane2012-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when executing an ON UPDATE SET NULL or SET DEFAULT action for a multicolumn MATCH SIMPLE foreign key constraint, we would set only those referencing columns corresponding to referenced columns that were changed. This is what the SQL92 standard said to do --- but more recent versions of the standard say that all referencing columns should be set to null or their default values, no matter exactly which referenced columns changed. At least for SET DEFAULT, that is clearly saner behavior. It's somewhat debatable whether it's an improvement for SET NULL, but it appears that other RDBMS systems read the spec this way. So let's do it like that. This is a release-notable behavioral change, although considering that our documentation already implied it was done this way, the lack of complaints suggests few people use such cases.
* Refer to the default foreign key match style as MATCH SIMPLE internally.Tom Lane2012-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we followed the SQL92 wording, "MATCH <unspecified>", but since SQL99 there's been a less awkward way to refer to the default style. In addition to the code changes, pg_constraint.confmatchtype now stores this match style as 's' (SIMPLE) rather than 'u' (UNSPECIFIED). This doesn't affect pg_dump or psql because they use pg_get_constraintdef() to reconstruct foreign key definitions. But other client-side code might examine that column directly, so this change will have to be marked as an incompatibility in the 9.3 release notes.
* ALTER TABLE: skip FK validation when it's safe to do soAlvaro Herrera2012-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We already skip rewriting the table in these cases, but we still force a whole table scan to validate the data. This can be skipped, and thus we can make the whole ALTER TABLE operation just do some catalog touches instead of scanning the table, when these two conditions hold: (a) Old and new pg_constraint.conpfeqop match exactly. This is actually stronger than needed; we could loosen things by way of operator families, but it'd require a lot more effort. (b) The functions, if any, implementing a cast from the foreign type to the primary opcintype are the same. For this purpose, we can consider a binary coercion equivalent to an exact type match. When the opcintype is polymorphic, require that the old and new foreign types match exactly. (Since ri_triggers.c does use the executor, the stronger check for polymorphic types is no mere future-proofing. However, no core type exercises its necessity.) Author: Noah Misch Committer's note: catalog version bumped due to change of the Constraint node. I can't actually find any way to have such a node in a stored rule, but given that we have "out" support for them, better be safe.

* Improve and simplify CREATE EXTENSION's management of GUC variables.Tom Lane2011-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CREATE EXTENSION needs to transiently set search_path, as well as client_min_messages and log_min_messages. We were doing this by the expedient of saving the current string value of each variable, doing a SET LOCAL, and then doing another SET LOCAL with the previous value at the end of the command. This is a bit expensive though, and it also fails badly if there is anything funny about the existing search_path value, as seen in a recent report from Roger Niederland. Fortunately, there's a much better way, which is to piggyback on the GUC infrastructure previously developed for functions with SET options. We just open a new GUC nesting level, do our assignments with GUC_ACTION_SAVE, and then close the nesting level when done. This automatically restores the prior settings without a re-parsing pass, so (in principle anyway) there can't be an error. And guc.c still takes care of cleanup in event of an error abort. The CREATE EXTENSION code for this was modeled on some much older code in ri_triggers.c, which I also changed to use the better method, even though there wasn't really much risk of failure there. Also improve the comments in guc.c to reflect this additional usage.

The bad setting is just discarded, as though it had never been applied at all. (This requires a change in the API of set_config_option. After some thought I decided the most potentially useful addition was to allow callers to just pass in a desired elevel.) Arrange to restore the complete stacked state of the variable, rather than cheesily reinstalling only the active value. This ensures that custom GUCs will behave unsurprisingly even when the module loading operation occurs within nested subtransactions that have changed the active value. Since a module load could occur as a result of, eg, a PL function call, this is not an unlikely scenario.
* Redesign the plancache mechanism for more flexibility and efficiency.Tom Lane2011-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite plancache.c so that a "cached plan" (which is rather a misnomer at this point) can support generation of custom, parameter-value-dependent plans, and can make an intelligent choice between using custom plans and the traditional generic-plan approach. The specific choice algorithm implemented here can probably be improved in future, but this commit is all about getting the mechanism in place, not the policy. In addition, restructure the API to greatly reduce the amount of extraneous data copying needed. The main compromise needed to make that possible was to split the initial creation of a CachedPlanSource into two steps. It's worth noting in particular that SPI_saveplan is now deprecated in favor of SPI_keepplan, which accomplishes the same end result with zero data copying, and no need to then spend even more cycles throwing away the original SPIPlan. The risk of long-term memory leaks while manipulating SPIPlans has also been greatly reduced. Most of this improvement is based on use of the recently-added MemoryContextSetParent primitive.
* Clean up the #include mess a little.Tom Lane2011-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | walsender.h should depend on xlog.h, not vice versa. (Actually, the inclusion was circular until a couple hours ago, which was even sillier; but Bruce broke it in the expedient rather than logically correct direction.) Because of that poor decision, plus blind application of pgrminclude, we had a situation where half the system was depending on xlog.h to include such unrelated stuff as array.h and guc.h. Clean up the header inclusion, and manually revert a lot of what pgrminclude had done so things build again. This episode reinforces my feeling that pgrminclude should not be run without adult supervision. Inclusion changes in header files in particular need to be reviewed with great care. More generally, it'd be good if we had a clearer notion of module layering to dictate which headers can sanely include which others ... but that's a big task for another day.

* Pass collations to functions in FunctionCallInfoData, not FmgrInfo.Tom Lane2011-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function, FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive patch...
* Fix RI_Initial_Check to use a COLLATE clause when needed in its query.Tom Lane2011-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the referencing and referenced columns have different collations, the parser will be unable to resolve which collation to use unless it's helped out in this way. The effects are sometimes masked, if we end up using a non-collation-sensitive plan; but if we do use a mergejoin we'll see a failure, as recently noted by Robert Haas. The SQL spec states that the referenced column's collation should be used to resolve RI checks, so that's what we do. Note however that we currently don't append a COLLATE clause when writing a query that examines only the referencing column. If we ever support collations that have varying notions of equality, that will have to be changed. For the moment, though, it's preferable to leave it off so that we can use a normal index on the referencing column.
* Clean up most -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings from gcc 4.6Peter Eisentraut2011-04-11

* Add a relkind field to RangeTblEntry to avoid some syscache lookups.Tom Lane2011-02-22
| | | | | | | | | The recent additions for FDW support required checking foreign-table-ness in several places in the parse/plan chain. While it's not clear whether that would really result in a noticeable slowdown, it seems best to avoid any performance risk by keeping a copy of the relation's relkind in RangeTblEntry. That might have some other uses later, anyway. Per discussion.
