* Fix PL/Python memory leak involving array slicesAlvaro Herrera2011-03-17
| | | | | Report and patch from Daniel Popowich, bug #5842 (with some debugging help from Alex Hunsaker)
* Raise maximum value of several timeout parametersPeter Eisentraut2011-03-17
| | | | | | | | | The maximum value of deadlock_timeout, max_standby_archive_delay, max_standby_streaming_delay, log_min_duration_statement, and log_autovacuum_min_duration was INT_MAX/1000 milliseconds, which is about 35min, which is too short for some practical uses. Raise the maximum value to INT_MAX; the code that uses the parameters already supports that just fine.
* Add pause_at_recovery_target to recovery.conf.sample; improve docs.Robert Haas2011-03-17
| | | | | Fujii Masao, but with the proposed behavior change reverted, and the rest adjusted accordingly.
* Fix various possible problems with synchronous replication.Robert Haas2011-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Don't ignore query cancel interrupts. Instead, if the user asks to cancel the query after we've already committed it, but before it's on the standby, just emit a warning and let the COMMIT finish. 2. Don't ignore die interrupts (pg_terminate_backend or fast shutdown). Instead, emit a warning message and close the connection without acknowledging the commit. Other backends will still see the effect of the commit, but there's no getting around that; it's too late to abort at this point, and ignoring die interrupts altogether doesn't seem like a good idea. 3. If synchronous_standby_names becomes empty, wake up all backends waiting for synchronous replication to complete. Without this, someone attempting to shut synchronous replication off could easily wedge the entire system instead. 4. Avoid depending on the assumption that if a walsender updates MyProc->syncRepState, we'll see the change even if we read it without holding the lock. The window for this appears to be quite narrow (and probably doesn't exist at all on machines with strong memory ordering) but protecting against it is practically free, so do that. 5. Remove useless state SYNC_REP_MUST_DISCONNECT, which isn't needed and doesn't actually do anything. There's still some further work needed here to make the behavior of fast shutdown plausible, but that looks complex, so I'm leaving it for a separate commit. Review by Fujii Masao.
* Use correct PATH separator for Cygwin in pg_regress.c.Andrew Dunstan2011-03-17
| | | | | | This has been broken for years, and I'm not sure why it has not been noticed before, but now a very modern Cygwin breaks on it, and the fix is clearly correct. Backpatching to all live branches.

* Improve handling of unknown-type literals in UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT.Tom Lane2011-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch causes unknown-type Consts to be coerced to the resolved output type of the set operation at parse time. Formerly such Consts were left alone until late in the planning stage. The disadvantage of that approach is that it disables some optimizations, because the planner sees the set-op leaf query as having different output column types than the overall set-op. We saw an example of that in a recent performance gripe from Claudio Freire. Fixing such a Const requires scribbling on the leaf query in transformSetOperationTree, but that should be all right since if the leaf query's semantics depended on that output column, it would already have resolved the unknown to something else. Most of the bulk of this patch is a simple adjustment of transformSetOperationTree's API so that upper levels can get at the TargetEntry containing a Const to be replaced: it now returns a list of TargetEntries, instead of just the bare expressions.

* Remove special case allowing parameters to ident auth for initdbMagnus Hagander2011-03-14
| | | | | | | This was required in pre-8.4 versions to allow the specification of "ident sameuser", but sameuser is no longer required. It could be extended to allow all parameters in the future, but should then apply to all methods and not just ident.
* Adjust regression test to avoid platform-dependent failure.Tom Lane2011-03-14
| | | | | | | | | We have a test that verifies that max(anyarray) will cope if the array column elements aren't all the same array type. However, it's now possible for that to produce a collation-related error message instead of the expected one, if the first two column elements happen to be of the same type and it's one that expects to be given collation info. Tweak the test to ensure this doesn't happen. Per buildfarm member pika.

* Simplify list traversal logic in add_path().Tom Lane2011-03-13
| | | | | Its mechanism for recovering after deleting the current list cell was a bit klugy. Borrow the technique used in other places.
* Make all comparisons done for/with statistics use the default collation.Tom Lane2011-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | While this will give wrong answers when estimating selectivity for a comparison operator that's using a non-default collation, the estimation error probably won't be large; and anyway the former approach created estimation errors of its own by trying to use a histogram that might have been computed with some other collation. So we'll adopt this simplified approach for now and perhaps improve it sometime in the future. This patch incorporates changes from Andres Freund to make sure that selfuncs.c passes a valid collation OID to any datatype-specific function it calls, in case that function wants collation information. Said OID will now always be DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID, but at least we won't get errors.

* On further reflection, we'd better do the same in int.c.Tom Lane2011-03-11
| | | | | We previously heard of the same problem in int24div(), so there's not a good reason to suppose the problem is confined to cases involving int8.
* Put in some more safeguards against executing a division-by-zero.Tom Lane2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | Add dummy returns before every potential division-by-zero in int8.c, because apparently further "improvements" in gcc's optimizer have enabled it to break functions that weren't broken before. Aurelien Jarno, via Martin Pitt
* Split CollateClause into separate raw and analyzed node types.Tom Lane2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | CollateClause is now used only in raw grammar output, and CollateExpr after parse analysis. This is for clarity and to avoid carrying collation names in post-analysis parse trees: that's both wasteful and possibly misleading, since the collation's name could be changed while the parsetree still exists. Also, clean up assorted infelicities and omissions in processing of the node type.
* Create an explicit concept of collations that work for any encoding.Tom Lane2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | Use collencoding = -1 to represent such a collation in pg_collation. We need this to make the "default" entry work sanely, and a later patch will fix the C/POSIX entries to be represented this way instead of duplicating them across all encodings. All lookup operations now search first for an entry that's database-encoding-specific, and then for the same name with collencoding = -1. Also some incidental code cleanup in collationcmds.c and pg_collation.c.
* In ecpg preprocessor, don't try to look up constants in the test forHeikki Linnakangas2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | | variable hiding. A constant is not a variable. It worked in most cases by accident, because we add constants to the global list of variables (why?), but float constants like 1.23 were interpreted as struct field references, and not found. Backpatch to 9.0, where the test for variable hiding was added.

* Revert addition of third argument to format_type().Tom Lane2011-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Including collation in the behavior of that function promotes a world view we do not want. Moreover, it was producing the wrong behavior for pg_dump anyway: what we want is to dump a COLLATE clause on attributes whose attcollation is different from the underlying type, and likewise for domains, and the function cannot do that for us. Doing it the hard way in pg_dump is a bit more tedious but produces more correct output. In passing, fix initdb so that the initial entry in pg_collation is properly pinned. It was droppable before :-(
* Make error handling of synchronous_standby_names consistent.Robert Haas2011-03-10
| | | | | | | It's not a good idea to kill the postmaster just because someone muffs this, and it's not consistent with what we do for other, similar GUCs. Fujii Masao, with a bit more hacking by me
* More synchronous replication typo fixes.Robert Haas2011-03-10
| | | | Fujii Masao
* More synchronous replication tweaks.Robert Haas2011-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SyncRepRequested() must check not only the value of the synchronous_replication GUC but also whether max_wal_senders > 0. Otherwise, we might end up waiting for sync rep even when there's no possibility of a standby ever managing to connect. There are some existing cross-checks to prevent this, but they're not quite sufficient: the user can start the server with max_wal_senders=0, synchronous_standby_names='', and synchronous_replication=off and then subsequent make synchronous_standby_names not empty using pg_ctl reload, and then SET synchronous_standby=on, leading to an indefinite hang. Along the way, rename the global variable for the synchronous_replication GUC to match the name of the GUC itself, for clarity. Report by Fujii Masao, though I didn't use his patch.
* Remove obsolete comment.Robert Haas2011-03-10
| | | | | | | In earlier versions of the sync rep patch, waiters removed themselves from the queue, but now walsender removes them before doing the wakeup. Report by Fujii Masao.

* Fix bugs in the isolation tester flex rules.Heikki Linnakangas2011-03-10
| | | | | | | | | Tom Lane pointed out that it was giving a warning: "-s option given but default rule can be matched". That was because there was no rule to handle newline in a quoted string. I made that throw an error. Also, line number tracking was broken, giving incorrect line number on error. Fixed that too.

* Fix some oversights in distprep and maintainer-clean targets.Tom Lane2011-03-10
| | | | | | | | | At least two recent commits have apparently imagined that a comment in a Makefile stating that something would be included in the distribution tarball was sufficient to make it so. They hadn't bothered to hook into the upper maintainer-clean targets either. Per bug #5923 from Charles Johnson, in which it emerged that the 9.1alpha4 tarballs are short a few files that should be there.

* Remove collation information from TypeName, where it does not belong.Tom Lane2011-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initial collations patch treated a COLLATE spec as part of a TypeName, following what can only be described as brain fade on the part of the SQL committee. It's a lot more reasonable to treat COLLATE as a syntactically separate object, so that it can be added in only the productions where it actually belongs, rather than needing to reject it in a boatload of places where it doesn't belong (something the original patch mostly failed to do). In addition this change lets us meet the spec's requirement to allow COLLATE anywhere in the clauses of a ColumnDef, and it avoids unfriendly behavior for constructs such as "foo::type COLLATE collation". To do this, pull collation information out of TypeName and put it in ColumnDef instead, thus reverting most of the collation-related changes in parse_type.c's API. I made one additional structural change, which was to use a ColumnDef as an intermediate node in AT_AlterColumnType AlterTableCmd nodes. This provides enough room to get rid of the "transform" wart in AlterTableCmd too, since the ColumnDef can carry the USING expression easily enough. Also fix some other minor bugs that have crept in in the same areas, like failure to copy recently-added fields of ColumnDef in copyfuncs.c. While at it, document the formerly secret ability to specify a collation in ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN TYPE, ALTER TYPE ADD ATTRIBUTE, and ALTER TYPE ALTER ATTRIBUTE TYPE; and correct some misstatements about what the default collation selection will be when COLLATE is omitted. BTW, the three-parameter form of format_type() should go away too, since it just contributes to the confusion in this area; but I'll do that in a separate patch.
* Adjust the permissions required for COMMENT ON ROLE.Tom Lane2011-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, any member of a role could change the role's comment, as of course could superusers; but holders of CREATEROLE privilege could not, unless they were also members. This led to the odd situation that a CREATEROLE holder could create a role but then could not comment on it. It also seems a bit dubious to let an unprivileged user change his own comment, let alone those of group roles he belongs to. So, change the rule to be "you must be superuser to comment on a superuser role, or hold CREATEROLE to comment on non-superuser roles". This is the same as the privilege check for creating/dropping roles, and thus fits much better with the rule for other object types, namely that only the owner of an object can comment on it. In passing, clean up the documentation for COMMENT a little bit. Per complaint from Owen Jacobson and subsequent discussion.
* Fix parallel make when running make install before make allPeter Eisentraut2011-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In addition to the all-foo-recurse: all-bar-recurse dependencies that constraint the order of the rule execution, we need install-foo-recurse: install-bar-recurse dependencies in case one runs make install without a make all first, as some people apparently do.
* Add missing keywords to gram.y's unreserved_keywords list.Tom Lane2011-03-08
| | | | | | We really need an automated check for this ... and did VALIDATE really need to become a keyword at all, rather than picking some other syntax using existing keywords?
* Fix overly strict assertion in SummarizeOldestCommittedSxact(). There's aHeikki Linnakangas2011-03-08
| | | | | | | | | race condition where SummarizeOldestCommittedSxact() is called even though another backend already cleared out all finished sxact entries. That's OK, RegisterSerializableTransactionInt() can just retry getting a news xact slot from the available-list when that happens. Reported by YAMAMOTO Takashi, bug #5918.
* Don't throw a warning if vacuum sees PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag set on a page thatHeikki Linnakangas2011-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | contains newly-inserted tuples that according to our OldestXmin are not yet visible to everyone. The value returned by GetOldestXmin() is conservative, and it can move backwards on repeated calls, so if we see that contradiction between the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag and status of tuples on the page, we have to assume it's because an earlier vacuum calculated a higher OldestXmin value, and all the tuples really are visible to everyone. We have received several reports of this bug, with the "PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation ..." warning appearing in logs. We were finally able to hunt it down with David Gould's help to run extra diagnostics in an environment where this happened frequently. Also reword the warning, per Robert Haas' suggestion, to not imply that the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag is necessarily at fault, as it might also be a symptom of corruption on a tuple header. Backpatch to 8.4, where the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was introduced.
