* fix up a couple non-prototypes of the form foo() to be foo(void) -- found ↵Greg Stark2011-03-27

* Fix check_exclusion_constraint() to insert correct collations in ScanKeys.Tom Lane2011-03-27

* Fix plpgsql to release SPI plans when a function or DO block is freed.Tom Lane2011-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | This fixes the gripe I made a few months ago about DO blocks getting slower with repeated use. At least, it fixes it for the case where the DO block isn't aborted by an error. We could try running plpgsql_free_function_memory() even during error exit, but that seems a bit scary since it makes a lot of presumptions about the data structures being in good shape. It's probably reasonable to assume that repeated failures of DO blocks isn't a performance-critical case.
* Clean up cruft around collation initialization for tupdescs and scankeys.Tom Lane2011-03-26
| | | | | I found actual bugs in GiST and plpgsql; the rest of this is cosmetic but meant to decrease the odds of future bugs of omission.
* More collations cleanup, from trawling for missed collation assignments.Tom Lane2011-03-26
| | | | | Mostly cosmetic, though I did find that generateClonedIndexStmt failed to clone the index's collations.
* Clean up a few failures to set collation fields in expression nodes.Tom Lane2011-03-26
| | | | | | | | | I'm not sure these have any non-cosmetic implications, but I'm not sure they don't, either. In particular, ensure the CaseTestExpr generated by transformAssignmentIndirection to represent the base target column carries the correct collation, because parse_collate.c won't fix that. Tweak lsyscache.c API so that we can get the appropriate collation without an extra syscache lookup.
* Additional test for each commit in sync rep path to plug minuteSimon Riggs2011-03-26
| | | | | possibility of race condition that would effect performance only. Requested by Robert Haas. Re-arrange related comments.
* Pass collation to makeConst() instead of looking it up internally.Tom Lane2011-03-25
| | | | | | | | | In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup is both expensive and wrong.
* Fix failure to propagate collation in negate_clause().Tom Lane2011-03-25
| | | | | Turns out it was this, and not so much plpgsql, that was at fault in Stefan Huehner's collation-error-in-a-trigger bug report of a couple weeks ago.
* Fix collation handling in plpgsql functions.Tom Lane2011-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make plpgsql treat the input collation as a polymorphism variable, so that we cache separate plans for each input collation that's used in a particular session, as per recent discussion. Propagate the input collation to all collatable input parameters. I chose to also propagate the input collation to all declared variables of collatable types, which is a bit more debatable but seems to be necessary for non-astonishing behavior. (Copying a parameter into a separate local variable shouldn't result in a change of behavior, for example.) There is enough infrastructure here to support declaring a collation for each local variable to override that default, but I thought we should wait to see what the field demand is before adding such a feature. In passing, remove exec_get_rec_fieldtype(), which wasn't used anywhere. Documentation patch to follow.
* Make walreceiver send a reply after receiving data but before flushing it.Robert Haas2011-03-25
| | | | | | | It originally worked this way, but was changed by commit a8a8a3e0965201df88bdfdff08f50e5c06c552b7, since which time it's been impossible for walreceiver to ever send a reply with write_location and flush_location set to different values.
* Fix handling of collation in SQL-language functions.Tom Lane2011-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | Ensure that parameter symbols receive collation from the function's resolved input collation, and fix inlining to behave properly. BTW, this commit lays about 90% of the infrastructure needed to support use of argument names in SQL functions. Parsing of parameters is now done via the parser-hook infrastructure ... we'd just need to supply a column-ref hook ...
* Add post-creation hook for extensions, consistent with other object types.Robert Haas2011-03-24
| | | | KaiGai Kohei
* Clean up handling of COLLATE clauses in index column definitions.Tom Lane2011-03-24
| | | | | | Ensure that COLLATE at the top level of an index expression is treated the same as a grammatically separate COLLATE. Fix bogus reverse-parsing logic in pg_get_indexdef.
* Minor changes to recovery pause behaviour.Simon Riggs2011-03-23
| | | | | | | | | Change location LOG message so it works each time we pause, not just for final pause. Ensure that we pause only if we are in Hot Standby and can connect to allow us to run resume function. This change supercedes the code to override parameter recoveryPauseAtTarget to false if not attempting to enter Hot Standby, which is now removed.
* Remove synchronous_replication/max_wal_senders cross-check.Robert Haas2011-03-23
| | | | | | | | This is no longer necessary, and might result in a situation where the configuration file is reloaded (and everything seems OK) but a subsequent restart of the database fails. Per an observation from Fujii Masao.
* Prevent intermittent hang in recovery from bgwriter interaction.Simon Riggs2011-03-23
| | | | | | Startup process waited for cleanup lock but when hot_standby = off the pid was not registered, so that the bgwriter would not wake the waiting process as intended.
* Make FKs valid at creation when added as column constraints.Simon Riggs2011-03-22
| | | | Bug report from Alvaro Herrera
* Make initdb ignore locales for client-only encodings.Tom Lane2011-03-22
| | | | | | While putting such entries into pg_collation is harmless (since backends will ignore entries that don't match the database encoding), it's also useless.
* Improve reporting of run-time-detected indeterminate-collation errors.Tom Lane2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | pg_newlocale_from_collation does not have enough context to give an error message that's even a little bit useful, so move the responsibility for complaining up to its callers. Also, reword ERRCODE_INDETERMINATE_COLLATION error messages in a less jargony, more message-style-guide-compliant fashion.
* Throw error for indeterminate collation of an ORDER/GROUP/DISTINCT target.Tom Lane2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This restores a parse error that was thrown (though only in the ORDER BY case) by the original collation patch. I had removed it in my recent revisions because it was thrown at a place where collations now haven't been computed yet; but I thought of another way to handle it. Throwing the error at parse time, rather than leaving it to be done at runtime, is good because a syntax error pointer is helpful for localizing the problem. We can reasonably assume that the comparison function for a collatable datatype will complain if it doesn't have a collation to use. Now the planner might choose to implement GROUP or DISTINCT via hashing, in which case no runtime error would actually occur, but it seems better to throw error consistently rather than let the error depend on what the planner chooses to do. Another possible objection is that the user might specify a nondefault sort operator that doesn't care about collation ... but that's surely an uncommon usage, and it wouldn't hurt him to throw in a COLLATE clause anyway. This change also makes the ORDER BY/GROUP BY/DISTINCT case more consistent with the UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT case, which was already coded to throw this error even though the same objections could be raised there.
* Avoid potential deadlock in InitCatCachePhase2().Tom Lane2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Opening a catcache's index could require reading from that cache's own catalog, which of course would acquire AccessShareLock on the catalog. So the original coding here risks locking index before heap, which could deadlock against another backend trying to get exclusive locks in the normal order. Because InitCatCachePhase2 is only called when a backend has to start up without a relcache init file, the deadlock was seldom seen in the field. (And by the same token, there's no need to worry about any performance disadvantage; so not much point in trying to distinguish exactly which catalogs have the risk.) Bug report, diagnosis, and patch by Nikhil Sontakke. Additional commentary by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization (again).Tom Lane2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of playing cute games with pathkeys, just build a direct representation of the intended sub-select, and feed it through query_planner to get a Path for the index access. This is a bit slower than 9.1's previous method, since we'll duplicate most of the overhead of query_planner; but since the whole optimization only applies to rather simple single-table queries, that probably won't be much of a problem in practice. The advantage is that we get to do the right thing when there's a partial index that needs the implicit IS NOT NULL clause to be usable. Also, although this makes planagg.c be a bit more closely tied to the ordering of operations in grouping_planner, we can get rid of some coupling to lower-level parts of the planner. Per complaint from Marti Raudsepp.
* When two base backups are started at the same time with pg_basebackup,Heikki Linnakangas2011-03-21
| | | | | | | | ensure that they use different checkpoints as the starting point. We use the checkpoint redo location as a unique identifier for the base backup in the end-of-backup record, and in the backup history file name. Bug spotted by Fujii Masao.
* Add some platform-independent tests for the collation feature.Tom Lane2011-03-20
| | | | | There's a lot we can't test very well without platform dependencies, but the C/POSIX collations should now work the same way everywhere.
* Suppress platform-dependent unused-variable warning.Tom Lane2011-03-20
| | | | | | The local variable "sock" can be unused depending on compilation flags. But there seems no particular need for it, since the kernel calls can just as easily say port->sock instead.
* Fix up handling of C/POSIX collations.Tom Lane2011-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Install just one instance of the "C" and "POSIX" collations into pg_collation, rather than one per encoding. Make these instances exist and do something useful even in machines without locale_t support: to wit, it's now possible to force comparisons and case-folding functions to use C locale in an otherwise non-C database, whether or not the platform has support for using any additional collations. Fix up severely broken upper/lower/initcap functions, too: the C/POSIX fastpath now does what it is supposed to, and non-default collations are handled correctly in single-byte database encodings. Merge the two separate collation hashtables that were being maintained in pg_locale.c, and be more wary of the possibility that we fail partway through filling a cache entry.
* Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.Tom Lane2011-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean or record). Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function. This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs and noncollatable output type, or vice versa. Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with a post-pass over the completed expression tree. This allows us to use a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node. Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during expression preprocessing.
* Rename ident authentication over local connections to peerMagnus Hagander2011-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes an overloading of two authentication options where one is very secure (peer) and one is often insecure (ident). Peer is also the name used in libpq from 9.1 to specify the same type of authentication. Also make initdb select peer for local connections when ident is chosen, and ident for TCP connections when peer is chosen. ident keyword in pg_hba.conf is still accepted and maps to peer authentication.
* Properly clear the verbose output of pg_basebackupMagnus Hagander2011-03-19
| | | | | | Don't leave partial filename information on the last status or dangling characters if the previous filename was longer than the current one.
* Fix possible "tuple concurrently updated" error in ALTER TABLE.Robert Haas2011-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | When adding an inheritance parent to a table, an AccessShareLock on the parent isn't strong enough to prevent trouble, so take ShareUpdateExclusiveLock instead. Since this is a behavior change, albeit a fairly unobtrusive one, and since we have only one report from the field, no back-patch. Report by Jon Nelson, analysis by Alvaro Herrera, fix by me.
* Move synchronous_standbys_defined updates from WAL writer to BG writer.Robert Haas2011-03-18
| | | | | | | | | This is advantageous because the BG writer is alive until much later in the shutdown sequence than WAL writer; we want to make sure that it's possible to shut off synchronous replication during a smart shutdown, else it might not be possible to complete the shutdown at all. Per very reasonable gripes from Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs.
* Woops. Previous patch to remove -X options missed getopt_long calls().Robert Haas2011-03-18
| | | | Noted by Tom Lane.
* Make synchronous replication query cancel/die messages more consistent.Robert Haas2011-03-18
| | | | | Per a gripe from Thom Brown about my previous commit in this area, commit 9a56dc3389b9470031e9ef8e45c95a680982e01a.
* Remove ancient -X options to pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_restore.Robert Haas2011-03-18
| | | | | | The last version in which these options were documented is now EOL, so it's time to get rid of them for real. We now use GNU-style long options instead.
* Remove bogus semicolons in recoveryPausesHere.Robert Haas2011-03-18
| | | | | Without this, the startup process goes into a tight loop, consuming 100% of one CPU and failing to respond to interrupts.
* Remove bogus comment.Robert Haas2011-03-17

* 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.
* Tab completion for \pset format and \pset linestyle.Robert Haas2011-03-16

* 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.

* Add database comments to template0 and postgres databases, and improveBruce Momjian2011-03-15
| | | | | the comments on the template1 database. No catalog version bump because they are just comments.
* Remove 13 keywords that are used only for ROLE options.Robert Haas2011-03-15
| | | | Review by Tom Lane.
* 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.
* Remove duplicate time-based macros recently added.Bruce Momjian2011-03-14
