* pg_dump: Remove undocumented "files" output formatPeter Eisentraut2012-03-20
| | | | | | | This was for demonstration only, and now it was creating compiler warnings from zlib without an obvious fix (see also d923125b77c5d698bb8107a533a21627582baa43), let's just remove it. The "directory" format is presumably similar enough anyway.
* Restructure SELECT INTO's parsetree representation into CreateTableAsStmt.Tom Lane2012-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Making this operation look like a utility statement seems generally a good idea, and particularly so in light of the desire to provide command triggers for utility statements. The original choice of representing it as SELECT with an IntoClause appendage had metastasized into rather a lot of places, unfortunately, so that this patch is a great deal more complicated than one might at first expect. In particular, keeping EXPLAIN working for SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS subcommands required restructuring some EXPLAIN-related APIs. Add-on code that calls ExplainOnePlan or ExplainOneUtility, or uses ExplainOneQuery_hook, will need adjustment. Also, the cases PREPARE ... SELECT INTO and CREATE RULE ... SELECT INTO, which formerly were accepted though undocumented, are no longer accepted. The PREPARE case can be replaced with use of CREATE TABLE AS EXECUTE. The CREATE RULE case doesn't seem to have much real-world use (since the rule would work only once before failing with "table already exists"), so we'll not bother with that one. Both SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS still return a command tag of "SELECT nnnn". There was some discussion of returning "CREATE TABLE nnnn", but for the moment backwards compatibility wins the day.

* pg_dump: fix double free of query resultsAlvaro Herrera2012-03-19
| | | | | | | This bug was introduced while refactoring in commit 1631598e --- no need to back-patch. Bug report and fix from Joachim Wieland.
* plperl: Package-qualify _TDAlvaro Herrera2012-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | Failing to do so causes trigger invocation to fail when they are nested within a function invocation that changes the current package. Backpatch to 9.1; previous releases used a different method to obtain _TD. Per bug report from Mark Murawski (bug #6511) Author: Alex Hunsaker
* Honor inputdir and outputdir when converting regression files.Andrew Dunstan2012-03-17
| | | | | | | | | When converting source files, pg_regress' inputdir and outputdir options were ignored when computing the locations of the destination files. In consequence, these options were effectively unusable when the regression inputs need to be adjusted by pg_regress. This patch makes pg_regress put the converted files in the same place that these options specify non-converted input or results files are to be found. Backpatched to all live branches.
* libpq: Fix minor memory leaksPeter Eisentraut2012-03-16
| | | | | | | | When using connection info arrays with a conninfo string in the dbname slot, some memory would be leaked if an error occurred while processing the following array slots. found by Coverity

* Improve commentary in match_pathkeys_to_index().Tom Lane2012-03-16
| | | | | | | For a little while there I thought match_pathkeys_to_index() was broken because it wasn't trying to match index columns to pathkeys in order. Actually that's correct, because GiST can support ordering operators on any random collection of index columns, but it sure needs a comment.
* Revisit handling of UNION ALL subqueries with non-Var output columns.Tom Lane2012-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 57664ed25e5dea117158a2e663c29e60b3546e1c I tried to fix a bug reported by Teodor Sigaev by making non-simple-Var output columns distinct (by wrapping their expressions with dummy PlaceHolderVar nodes). This did not work too well. Commit b28ffd0fcc583c1811e5295279e7d4366c3cae6c fixed some ensuing problems with matching to child indexes, but per a recent report from Claus Stadler, constraint exclusion of UNION ALL subqueries was still broken, because constant-simplification didn't handle the injected PlaceHolderVars well either. On reflection, the original patch was quite misguided: there is no reason to expect that EquivalenceClass child members will be distinct. So instead of trying to make them so, we should ensure that we can cope with the situation when they're not. Accordingly, this patch reverts the code changes in the above-mentioned commits (though the regression test cases they added stay). Instead, I've added assorted defenses to make sure that duplicate EC child members don't cause any problems. Teodor's original problem ("MergeAppend child's targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend") is addressed more directly by revising prepare_sort_from_pathkeys to let the parent MergeAppend's sort list guide creation of each child's sort list. In passing, get rid of add_sort_column; as far as I can tell, testing for duplicate sort keys at this stage is dead code. Certainly it doesn't trigger often enough to be worth expending cycles on in ordinary queries. And keeping the test would've greatly complicated the new logic in prepare_sort_from_pathkeys, because comparing pathkey list entries against a previous output array requires that we not skip any entries in the list. Back-patch to 9.1, like the previous patches. The only known issue in this area that wasn't caused by the ill-advised previous patches was the MergeAppend planning failure, which of course is not relevant before 9.1. It's possible that we need some of the new defenses against duplicate child EC entries in older branches, but until there's some clear evidence of that I'm going to refrain from back-patching further.

* pg_dump: Fix some minor memory leaksPeter Eisentraut2012-03-13

* Patch some corner-case bugs in pl/python.Tom Lane2012-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Malcolm of Red Hat is working on a static code analysis tool for Python-related C code. It reported a number of problems in plpython, most of which were failures to check for NULL results from object-creation functions, so would only be an issue in very-low-memory situations. Patch in HEAD and 9.1. We could go further back but it's not clear that these issues are important enough to justify the work. Jan Urbański
* Fix minor memory leak in PLy_typeinfo_dealloc().Tom Lane2012-03-13
| | | | | | We forgot to free the per-attribute array element descriptors. Jan Urbański
* Create a stack of pl/python "execution contexts".Tom Lane2012-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the former global variable PLy_curr_procedure, and provides a place to stash per-call-level information. In particular we create a per-call-level scratch memory context. For the moment, the scratch context is just used to avoid leaking memory from datatype output function calls in PLyDict_FromTuple. There probably will be more use-cases in future. Although this is a fix for a pre-existing memory leakage bug, it seems sufficiently invasive to not want to back-patch; it feels better as part of the major rearrangement of plpython code that we've already done as part of 9.2.

* Fix SPGiST vacuum algorithm to handle concurrent tuple motion properly.Tom Lane2012-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A leaf tuple that we need to delete could get moved as a consequence of an insertion happening concurrently with the VACUUM scan. If it moves from a page past the current scan point to a page before, we'll miss it, which is not acceptable. Hence, when we see a leaf-page REDIRECT that could have been made since our scan started, chase down the redirection pointer much as if we were doing a normal index search, and be sure to vacuum every page it leads to. This fixes the issue because, if the tuple was on page N at the instant we start our scan, we will surely find it as a consequence of chasing the redirect from page N, no matter how much it moves around in between. Problem noted by Takashi Yamamoto.
* Use correct sizeof operand in qsort callPeter Eisentraut2012-03-12

* Make INSERT/UPDATE queries depend on their specific target columns.Tom Lane2012-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have always created a whole-table dependency for the target relation, but that's not really good enough, as it doesn't prevent scenarios such as dropping an individual target column or altering its type. So we have to create an individual dependency for each target column, as well. Per report from Bill MacArthur of a rule containing UPDATE breaking after such an alteration. Note that this patch doesn't try to make such cases work, only to ensure that the attempted ALTER TABLE throws an error telling you it can't cope with adjusting the rule. This is a long-standing bug, but given the lack of prior reports I'm not going to risk back-patching it. A back-patch wouldn't do anything to fix existing rules' dependency lists, anyway.
* Teach SPGiST to store nulls and do whole-index scans.Tom Lane2012-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the other major compatibility-breaking limitation of SPGiST, that it didn't store anything for null values of the indexed column, and so could not support whole-index scans or "x IS NULL" tests. The approach is to create a wholly separate search tree for the null entries, and use fixed "allTheSame" insertion and search rules when processing this tree, instead of calling the index opclass methods. This way the opclass methods do not need to worry about dealing with nulls. Catversion bump is for pg_am updates as well as the change in on-disk format of SPGiST indexes; there are some tweaks in SPGiST WAL records as well. Heavily rewritten version of a patch by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev. (The original also stored nulls separately, but it reused GIN code to do so; which required undesirable compromises in the on-disk format, and would likely lead to bugs due to the GIN code being required to work in two very different contexts.)
* Add more detail to error message for invalid arguments for server processPeter Eisentraut2012-03-11
| | | | | | | | It now prints the argument that was at fault. Also fix a small misbehavior where the error message issued by getopt() would complain about a program named "--single", because that's what argv[0] is in the server process.
* Restructure SPGiST opclass interface API to support whole-index scans.Tom Lane2012-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original API definition was incapable of supporting whole-index scans because there was no way to invoke leaf-value reconstruction without checking any qual conditions. Also, it was inefficient for multiple-qual-condition scans because value reconstruction got done over again for each qual condition, and because other internal work in the consistent functions likewise had to be done for each qual. To fix these issues, pass the whole scankey array to the opclass consistent functions, instead of only letting them see one item at a time. (Essentially, the loop over scankey entries is now inside the consistent functions not outside them. This makes the consistent functions a bit more complicated, but not unreasonably so.) In itself this commit does nothing except save a few cycles in multiple-qual-condition index scans, since we can't support whole-index scans on SPGiST indexes until nulls are included in the index. However, I consider this a must-fix for 9.2 because once we release it will get very much harder to change the opclass API definition.

* Extend object access hook framework to support arguments, and DROP.Robert Haas2012-03-09
| | | | | | | | | This allows loadable modules to get control at drop time, perhaps for the purpose of performing additional security checks or to log the event. The initial purpose of this code is to support sepgsql, but other applications should be possible as well. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by me.
* Revise FDW planning API, again.Tom Lane2012-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Further reflection shows that a single callback isn't very workable if we desire to let FDWs generate multiple Paths, because that forces the FDW to do all work necessary to generate a valid Plan node for each Path. Instead split the former PlanForeignScan API into three steps: GetForeignRelSize, GetForeignPaths, GetForeignPlan. We had already bit the bullet of breaking the 9.1 FDW API for 9.2, so this shouldn't cause very much additional pain, and it's substantially more flexible for complex FDWs. Add an fdw_private field to RelOptInfo so that the new functions can save state there rather than possibly having to recalculate information two or three times. In addition, we'd not thought through what would be needed to allow an FDW to set up subexpressions of its choice for runtime execution. We could treat ForeignScan.fdw_private as an executable expression but that seems likely to break existing FDWs unnecessarily (in particular, it would restrict the set of node types allowable in fdw_private to those supported by expression_tree_walker). Instead, invent a separate field fdw_exprs which will receive the postprocessing appropriate for expression trees. (One field is enough since it can be a list of expressions; also, we assume the corresponding expression state tree(s) will be held within fdw_state, so we don't need to add anything to ForeignScanState.) Per review of Hanada Shigeru's pgsql_fdw patch. We may need to tweak this further as we continue to work on that patch, but to me it feels a lot closer to being right now.

* Fix some issues with temp/transient tables in extension scripts.Tom Lane2012-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Phil Sorber reported that a rewriting ALTER TABLE within an extension update script failed, because it creates and then drops a placeholder table; the drop was being disallowed because the table was marked as an extension member. We could hack that specific case but it seems likely that there might be related cases now or in the future, so the most practical solution seems to be to create an exception to the general rule that extension member objects can only be dropped by dropping the owning extension. To wit: if the DROP is issued within the extension's own creation or update scripts, we'll allow it, implicitly performing an "ALTER EXTENSION DROP object" first. This will simplify cases such as extension downgrade scripts anyway. No docs change since we don't seem to have documented the idea that you would need ALTER EXTENSION DROP for such an action to begin with. Also, arrange for explicitly temporary tables to not get linked as extension members in the first place, and the same for the magic pg_temp_nnn schemas that are created to hold them. This prevents assorted unpleasant results if an extension script creates a temp table: the forced drop at session end would either fail or remove the entire extension, and neither of those outcomes is desirable. Note that this doesn't fix the ALTER TABLE scenario, since the placeholder table is not temp (unless the table being rewritten is). Back-patch to 9.1.

* Improve estimation of IN/NOT IN by assuming array elements are distinct.Tom Lane2012-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In constructs such as "x IN (1,2,3,4)" and "x <> ALL(ARRAY[1,2,3,4])", we formerly always used a general-purpose assumption that the probability of success is independent for each comparison of "x" to an array element. But in real-world usage of these constructs, that's a pretty poor assumption; it's much saner to assume that the array elements are distinct and so the match probabilities are disjoint. Apply that assumption if the operator appears to behave as equality (for ANY) or inequality (for ALL). But fall back to the normal independent-probabilities calculation if this yields an impossible result, ie probability > 1 or < 0. We could protect ourselves against bad estimates even more by explicitly checking for equal array elements, but that is expensive and doesn't seem worthwhile: doing it would amount to optimizing for poorly-written queries at the expense of well-written ones. Daniele Varrazzo and Tom Lane, after a suggestion by Ants Aasma
* Fix indentation of \d footers for non-ASCII cases.Tom Lane2012-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Multi-line "Inherits:" and "Child tables:" footers were misindented when those strings' translations involved multibyte characters, because we were using strlen() instead of an appropriate display width measurement. In passing, avoid doing gettext() more than once per loop in these places. While at it, fix pg_wcswidth(), which has been entirely broken since about 8.2, but fortunately has been unused for the same length of time. Report and patch by Sergey Burladyan (bug #6480)
* Add GetForeignColumnOptions() to foreign.c, and add some documentation.Tom Lane2012-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GetForeignColumnOptions provides some abstraction for accessing column-specific FDW options, on a par with the access functions that were already provided here for other FDW-related information. Adjust file_fdw.c to use GetForeignColumnOptions instead of equivalent hand-rolled code. In addition, add some SGML documentation for the functions exported by foreign.c that are meant for use by FDW authors. (This is the fdw_helper portion of the proposed pgsql_fdw patch.)

* psql: Fix invalid memory accessPeter Eisentraut2012-03-07
| | | | | | | | Due to an apparent thinko, when printing a table in expanded mode (\x), space would be allocated for 1 slot plus 1 byte per line, instead of 1 slot per line plus 1 slot for the NULL terminator. When the line count is small, reading or writing the terminator would therefore access memory beyond what was allocated.

* Expose an API for calculating catcache hash values.Tom Lane2012-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | Now that cache invalidation callbacks get only a hash value, and not a tuple TID (per commits 632ae6829f7abda34e15082c91d9dfb3fc0f298b and b5282aa893e565b7844f8237462cb843438cdd5e), the only way they can restrict what they invalidate is to know what the hash values mean. setrefs.c was doing this via a hard-wired assumption but that seems pretty grotty, and it'll only get worse as more cases come up. So let's expose a calculation function that takes the same parameters as SearchSysCache. Per complaint from Marko Kreen.
