* Fix index-only scan plans when not all index columns can be returned.Tom Lane2022-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable column as intended. To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns. This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns. This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's possible to construct failing examples without that, as per the added regression test. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches. Per bug #17350 from Louis Jachiet. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17350-b5bdcf476e5badbb@postgresql.org
* pg_dump: avoid unsafe function calls in getPolicies().Tom Lane2021-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | getPolicies() had the same disease I fixed in other places in commit e3fcbbd62, i.e., it was calling pg_get_expr() for expressions on tables that we don't necessarily have lock on. To fix, restrict the query to only collect interesting rows, rather than doing the filtering on the client side. Like the previous patch, apply to HEAD only for now.

* pg_dump: minor performance improvements from eliminating sub-SELECTs.Tom Lane2021-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the "username_subquery" mechanism in favor of doing local lookups of role names from role OIDs. The PG backend isn't terribly smart about scalar SubLinks in SELECT output lists, so this offers a small performance improvement, at least in installations with more than a couple of users. In any case the old method didn't make for particularly readable SQL code. While at it, I removed the various custom warning messages about failing to find an object's owner, in favor of just fatal'ing in the local lookup function. AFAIK there is no reason any longer to treat that as anything but a catalog-corruption case, and certainly no reason to make translators deal with a dozen different messages where one would do. (If it turns out that fatal() is indeed a bad idea, we can back off to issuing pg_log_warning() and returning an empty string, resulting in the same behavior as before, except more consistent.) Also drop an entirely unnecessary sub-SELECT to check on the pg_depend status of a sequence relation: we already have a LEFT JOIN to fetch the row of interest in the FROM clause.

* ci: Add continuous integration for github repositories via cirrus-ci.Andres Freund2021-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows (Visual Studio) are tested. The main goal of this integration is to make it easier to test in-development patches across multiple platforms. This includes improving the testing done automatically by cfbot [1] for commitfest entries. It is *not* the goal to supersede the buildfarm. cirrus-ci [2] was chosen because it was already in use for cfbot, allows using full VMs, has good OS coverage and allows accessing the full test results without authentication (like a github account). It might be worth adding support for further CI providers, particularly ones supporting other git forges, in the future. To keep CI times tolerable, most platforms use pre-generated images. Some platforms use containers, others use full VMs. For instructions on how to enable the CI integration in a repository and further details, see src/tools/ci/README [1] http://cfbot.cputube.org/ [2] https://cirrus-ci.org/ Author: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de> Author: Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org> Author: Melanie Plageman <melanieplageman@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Melanie Plageman <melanieplageman@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Justin Pryzby <pryzby@telsasoft.com> Reviewed-By: Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org> Reviewed-By: Peter Eisentraut <peter.eisentraut@enterprisedb.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20211001222752.wrz7erzh4cajvgp6@alap3.anarazel.de
* pg_dump: make dumpPublication et al. less unlike sibling functions.Tom Lane2021-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dumpPublication, dumpPublicationNamespace, dumpPublicationTable, and dumpSubscription failed to check dataOnly. This is just a latent bug, because pg_backup_archiver.c would filter out the ArchiveEntry later; but they're wasting cycles in data-only dumps, and the omission might become a live bug someday. In any case, it's not good to have some dumpFoo functions do this and some not. On the same reasoning, make dumpPublicationNamespace follow the same pattern as every other dumpFoo function for checking the DUMP_COMPONENT_DEFINITION flag. (Since 5209c0ba0, we wouldn't even get here if that flag isn't set, so checking it is just pro forma right now. But it might not be so forever.) Since this is just cosmetic and/or future-proofing, no need for back-patch.

* Minor cleanup/optimization in pg_dump.Tom Lane2021-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the wake of commits 05649b88c and 5209c0ba0, findComments() and findSecLabels() no longer use their "Archive *fout" arguments, so get rid of those. While doing that, I noticed that there's no very good reason why dumpCompositeTypeColComments() should be doing its own query to fetch the column names of the composite type, when the calling function has just fetched the same data. Tweak it to use that query result. This probably doesn't save a lot for most people, because since 5209c0ba0 we won't get into this code at all unless the composite type has at least one comment. Nonetheless, it's a wasted query.

Add a binaryheap_reset() call to make it plain that we start the directory scan with an empty heap.

* Remove assertion for ALTER TABLE .. DETACH PARTITION CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2021-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One code path related to this flavor of ALTER TABLE was checking that the relation to detach has to be a normal table or a partitioned table, which would fail if using the command with a different relation kind. Views, sequences and materialized views cannot be part of a partition tree, so these would cause the command to fail anyway, but the assertion was triggered. Foreign tables can be part of a partition tree, and again the assertion would have failed. The simplest solution is just to remove this assertion, so as we get the same failure as the non-concurrent code path. While on it, add a regression test in postgres_fdw for the concurrent partition detach of a foreign table, as per a suggestion from Alexander Lakhin. Issue introduced in 71f4c8c.

* Remove dynamic translation of regression test scripts, step 1.Tom Lane2021-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_regress has long had provisions for dynamically substituting path names into regression test scripts and result files, but use of that feature has always been a serious pain in the neck, mainly because updating the result files requires tedious manual editing. Let's get rid of that in favor of passing down the paths in environment variables. In addition to being easier to maintain, this way is capable of dealing with path names that require escaping at runtime, for example paths containing single-quote marks. (There are other stumbling blocks in the way of actually building in a path that looks like that, but removing this one seems like a good thing to do.) The key coding rule that makes that possible is to concatenate pieces of a dynamically-variable string using psql's \set command, and then use the :'variable' notation to quote and escape the string for the next level of interpretation. In hopes of making this change more transparent to "git blame", I've split it into two steps. This commit adds the necessary pg_regress.c support and changes all the *.source files in-place so that they no longer require any dynamic translation. The next commit will just "git mv" them into the regular sql/ and expected/ directories. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1655733.1639871614@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Add fast path for validating UTF-8 textJohn Naylor2021-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our previous validator used a traditional algorithm that performed comparison and branching one byte at a time. It's useful in that we always know exactly how many bytes we have validated, but that precision comes at a cost. Input validation can show up prominently in profiles of COPY FROM, and future improvements to COPY FROM such as parallelism or faster line parsing will put more pressure on input validation. Hence, add fast paths for both ASCII and multibyte UTF-8: Use bitwise operations to check 16 bytes at a time for ASCII. If that fails, use a "shift-based" DFA on those bytes to handle the general case, including multibyte. These paths are relatively free of branches and thus robust against all kinds of byte patterns. With these algorithms, UTF-8 validation is several times faster, depending on platform and the input byte distribution. The previous coding in pg_utf8_verifystr() is retained for short strings and for when the fast path returns an error.

* Fix the public schema's permissions in a separate test script.Tom Lane2021-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the wake of commit b073c3ccd, it's necessary to grant create permissions on the public schema to PUBLIC to get many of the core regression test scripts to pass. That commit did so via the quick-n-dirty expedient of adding the GRANT to the tablespace test, which runs first. This is problematic for single-machine replication testing, though. The least painful way to run the regression tests on such a setup is to skip the tablespace test, and that no longer works. To fix, let's invent a separate "test_setup" script to run first, and put the GRANT there. Revert b073c3ccd's changes to the tablespace.source files. In the future it might be good to try to reduce coupling between the various test scripts by having test_setup create widely-used objects, with the goal that most of the scripts could run after having run only test_setup. That's going to take some effort, so this commit just addresses my immediate pain point. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1363170.1639763559@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Simplify the general-purpose 64-bit integer parsing APIsPeter Eisentraut2021-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_strtouint64() is a wrapper around strtoull/strtoul/_strtoui64, but it seems no longer necessary to have this indirection. msvc/Solution.pm claims HAVE_STRTOULL, so the "MSVC only" part seems unnecessary. Also, we have code in c.h to substitute alternatives for strtoull() if not found, and that would appear to cover all currently supported platforms, so having a further fallback in pg_strtouint64() seems unnecessary. Therefore, we could remove pg_strtouint64(), and use strtoull() directly in all call sites. However, it seems useful to keep a separate notation for parsing exactly 64-bit integers, matching the type definition int64/uint64. For that, add new macros strtoi64() and strtou64() in c.h as thin wrappers around strtol()/strtoul() or strtoll()/stroull(). This makes these functions available everywhere instead of just in the server code, and it makes the function naming notably different from the pg_strtointNN() functions in numutils.c, which have a different API.

Otherwise planner optimizations might not happen. It appears we missed this point because the previous experiments were done on type numeric: the parser undesirably generates a call on the numeric() length-coercion function, but then numeric_support() optimizes that down to a RelabelType, so that everything seems fine. It misbehaves for types that have a non-optimized length coercion function, such as bpchar. Per report from John Naylor. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous patch eventually was.

* Always use ReleaseTupleDesc after lookup_rowtype_tupdesc et al.Tom Lane2021-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The API spec for lookup_rowtype_tupdesc previously said you could use either ReleaseTupleDesc or DecrTupleDescRefCount. However, the latter choice means the caller must be certain that the returned tupdesc is refcounted. I don't recall right now whether that was always true when this spec was written, but it's certainly not always true since we introduced shared record typcaches for parallel workers. That means that callers using DecrTupleDescRefCount are dependent on typcache behavior details that they probably shouldn't be. Hence, change the API spec to say that you must call ReleaseTupleDesc, and fix the half-dozen callers that weren't. AFAICT this is just future-proofing, there's no live bug here. So no back-patch.

| | | | | | | | | Server versions for which there was a plausible reason to use this switch are all out of support now. Leaving it around would accomplish little except to let careless DBAs shoot themselves in the foot. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/556122.1639520324@sss.pgh.pa.us
* pg_checksums: Fix data typePeter Eisentraut2021-12-15
| | | | | Segment numbers should be int, not BlockNumber (see also buffile.c). Likely no harm, but better for consistency.
* Improve parallel vacuum implementation.Amit Kapila2021-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, in parallel vacuum, we allocated shmem area of IndexBulkDeleteResult only for indexes where parallel index vacuuming is safe and had null-bitmap in shmem area to access them. This logic was too complicated with a small benefit of saving only a few bits per indexes. In this commit, we allocate a dedicated shmem area for the array of LVParallelIndStats that includes a parallel-safety flag, the index vacuum status, and IndexBulkdeleteResult. There is one array element for every index, even those indexes where parallel index vacuuming is unsafe or not worthwhile. This commit makes the code clear by removing all bitmap-related code. Also, add the check each index vacuum status after parallel index vacuum to make sure that all indexes have been processed. Finally, rename parallel vacuum functions to parallel_vacuum_* for consistency.

* Adjust behavior of some env settings for the TAP tests of MSVCMichael Paquier2021-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | edc2332 has introduced in vcregress.pl some control on the environment variables LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM to allow any TAP tests to be able use those commands. This makes the settings more consistent with src/Makefile.global.in, as the same default gets used for Make and MSVC builds. Each parameter can be changed in buildenv.pl, but as a default gets assigned after loading buldenv.pl, it is not possible to unset any of these, and using an empty value would not work with "||=" either. As some environments may not have a compatible command in their PATH (tar coming from MinGW is an issue, for one), this could break tests without an exit path to bypass any failing test. This commit changes things so as the default values for LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM are assigned before loading buildenv.pl, not after. This way, we keep the same amount of compatibility as a GNU build with the same defaults, and it becomes possible to unset any of those values. While on it, this adds some documentation about those three variables in the section dedicated to the TAP tests for MSVC. Per discussion with Andrew Dunstan.

* Remove pg_upgrade support for upgrading from pre-9.2 servers.Tom Lane2021-12-14
| | | | | | | | Per discussion, we'll limit support for old servers to those branches that can still be built easily on modern platforms, which as of now is 9.2 and up. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2923349.1634942313@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Remove pg_dump/pg_dumpall support for dumping from pre-9.2 servers.Tom Lane2021-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, we'll limit support for old servers to those branches that can still be built easily on modern platforms, which as of now is 9.2 and up. Remove over a thousand lines of code dedicated to dumping from older server versions. (As in previous changes of this sort, we aren't removing pg_restore's ability to read older archive files ... though it's fair to wonder how that might be tested nowadays.) This cleans up some dead code left behind by commit 989596152. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2923349.1634942313@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Improve sift up/down code in binaryheap.c and logtape.c.Tom Lane2021-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Borrow the logic that's long been used in tuplesort.c: instead of physically swapping the data in two heap entries, keep the value that's being sifted up or down in a local variable, and just move the other values as necessary. This makes the code shorter as well as faster. It's not clear that any current callers are really time-critical enough to notice, but we might as well code heap maintenance the same way everywhere.
