* Simplify the bootstrap (BKI) code by getting rid of a useless table of allTom Lane2009-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | the strings seen during the bootstrap run. There might have been some actual point to doing that, many years ago, but as far as I can see the only value now is to conserve a bit of memory. Even if we cared about wasting a megabyte or so during the initdb run, it'd be far more effective to arrange to release memory at the end of each BKI command, instead of intentionally hanging onto strings that might never be used again. Not maintaining the table probably makes it faster too; but the main point of this patch is to get rid of a couple hundred lines of unnecessary and rather crufty code.

* Revert my ill-considered change that made formrdesc not insert the correctTom Lane2009-09-26
| | | | | | | | relation rowtype OID into the relcache entries it builds. This ensures that catcache copies of the relation tupdescs will be fully correct. While the deficiency doesn't seem to have any effect in the current sources, we have been bitten by not-quite-right catcache tupdescs before, so it seems like a good idea to maintain the rule that they should be right.
* Extend the BKI infrastructure to allow system catalogs to be givenTom Lane2009-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | hand-assigned rowtype OIDs, even when they are not "bootstrapped" catalogs that have handmade type rows in pg_type.h. Give pg_database such an OID. Restore the availability of C macros for the rowtype OIDs of the bootstrapped catalogs. (These macros are now in the individual catalogs' .h files, though, not in pg_type.h.) This commit doesn't do anything especially useful by itself, but it's necessary infrastructure for reverting some ill-considered changes in relcache.c.
* Fix RelationCacheInitializePhase2 (Phase3, in HEAD) to cope with theTom Lane2009-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | possibility of shared-inval messages causing a relcache flush while it tries to fill in missing data in preloaded relcache entries. There are actually two distinct failure modes here: 1. The flush could delete the next-to-be-processed cache entry, causing the subsequent hash_seq_search calls to go off into the weeds. This is the problem reported by Michael Brown, and I believe it also accounts for bug #5074. The simplest fix is to restart the hashtable scan after we've read any new data from the catalogs. It appears that pre-8.4 branches have not suffered from this failure, because by chance there were no other catalogs sharing the same hash chains with the catalogs that RelationCacheInitializePhase2 had work to do for. However that's obviously pretty fragile, and it seems possible that derivative versions with additional system catalogs might be vulnerable, so I'm back-patching this part of the fix anyway. 2. The flush could delete the *current* cache entry, in which case the pointer to the newly-loaded data would end up being stored into an already-deleted Relation struct. As long as it was still deleted, the only consequence would be some leaked space in CacheMemoryContext. But it seems possible that the Relation struct could already have been recycled, in which case this represents a hard-to-reproduce clobber of cached data structures, with unforeseeable consequences. The fix here is to pin the entry while we work on it. In passing, also change RelationCacheInitializePhase2 to Assert that formrdesc() set up the relation's cached TupleDesc (rd_att) with the correct type OID and hasoids values. This is more appropriate than silently updating the values, because the original tupdesc might already have been copied into the catcache. However this part of the patch is not in HEAD because it fails due to some questionable recent changes in formrdesc :-(. That will be cleaned up in a subsequent patch.

This seemed a better design than trying to hide the transient-ness of the code from the PL. As of this patch, only plpgsql has an inline handler, but probably people will soon write handlers for the other standard PLs. In passing, remove the long-dead LANCOMPILER option of CREATE LANGUAGE.

No documentation change, since parameters were never documented as being marked constant anyway. Steve Prentice

| | | | | | | | | | | Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism. Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse. Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault. You will need the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work. msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.

* Implement "join removal" for cases where the inner side of a left joinTom Lane2009-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | is unique and is not referenced above the join. In this case the inner side doesn't affect the query result and can be thrown away entirely. Although perhaps nobody would ever write such a thing by hand, it's a reasonably common case in machine-generated SQL. The current implementation only recognizes the case where the inner side is a simple relation with a unique index matching the query conditions. This is enough for the use-cases that have been shown so far, but we might want to try to handle other cases later. Robert Haas, somewhat rewritten by Tom

* Fix two distinct errors in creation of GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE xlog records.Tom Lane2009-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In practice these mistakes were always masked when full_page_writes was on, because XLogInsert would always choose to log the full page, and then ginRedoInsertListPage wouldn't try to do anything. But with full_page_writes off a WAL replay failure was certain. The GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE record type could probably be eliminated entirely in favor of using XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE, but I refrained from doing that now since it would have required a significantly more invasive patch. In passing do a little bit of code cleanup, including making the accounting for free space on GIN list pages more precise. (This wasn't a bug as the errors were always in the conservative direction.) Per report from Simon. Back-patch to 8.4 which contains the identical code.

* Write psql's ~/.psql_history file using history_truncate_file() andTom Lane2009-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | append_history(), if libreadline is new enough to have those functions (they seem to be present at least since 4.2; but libedit may not have them). This gives significantly saner behavior when two or more sessions overlap in their use of the history file; although having two sessions exit at just the same time is still perilous to your history. The behavior of \s remains unchanged, ie, overwrite whatever was there. Per bug #5052 from Marek Wójtowicz.
* Fix Unicode support in PL/PythonPeter Eisentraut2009-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | Check calls of PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() for NULL return, probably because the encoding name is not known. Add special treatment for SQL_ASCII, which Python definitely does not know. Since using SQL_ASCII produces errors in the regression tests when non-ASCII characters are involved, we have to put back various regression test result variants.
* Don't error out if recycling or removing an old WAL segment fails at the endHeikki Linnakangas2009-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of checkpoint. Although the checkpoint has been written to WAL at that point already, so that all data is safe, and we'll retry removing the WAL segment at the next checkpoint, if such a failure persists we won't be able to remove any other old WAL segments either and will eventually run out of disk space. It's better to treat the failure as non-fatal, and move on to clean any other WAL segment and continue with any other end-of-checkpoint cleanup. We don't normally expect any such failures, but on Windows it can happen with some anti-virus or backup software that lock files without FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag. Also, the loop in pgrename() to retry when the file is locked was broken. If a file is locked on Windows, you get ERROR_SHARE_VIOLATION, not ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, at least on modern versions. Fix that, although I left the check for ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED in there as well (presumably it was correct in some environment), and added ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION to be consistent with similar checks in pgwin32_open(). Reduce the timeout on the loop from 30s to 10s, on the grounds that since it's been broken, we've effectively had a timeout of 0s and no-one has complained, so a smaller timeout is actually closer to the old behavior. A longer timeout would mean that if recycling a WAL file fails because it's locked for some reason, InstallXLogFileSegment() will hold ControlFileLock for longer, potentially blocking other backends, so a long timeout isn't totally harmless. While we're at it, set errno correctly in pgrename(). Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows. The xlog.c changes would make sense on other platforms and thus on older versions as well, but since there's no such locking issues on other platforms, it's not worth it.
* Add Unicode support in PL/PythonPeter Eisentraut2009-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | PL/Python now accepts Unicode objects where it previously only accepted string objects (for example, as return value). Unicode objects are converted to the PostgreSQL server encoding as necessary. This change is also necessary for future Python 3 support, which treats all strings as Unicode objects. Since this removes the error conditions that the plpython_unicode test file tested for, the alternative result files are no longer necessary.
* Rewrite the planner's handling of materialized plan types so that there isTom Lane2009-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | an explicit model of rescan costs being different from first-time costs. The costing of Material nodes in particular now has some visible relationship to the actual runtime behavior, where before it was essentially fantasy. This also fixes up a couple of places where different materialized plan types were treated differently for no very good reason (probably just oversights). A couple of the regression tests are affected, because the planner now chooses to put the other relation on the inside of a nestloop-with-materialize. So far as I can see both changes are sane, and the planner is now more consistently following the expectation that it should prefer to materialize the smaller of two relations. Per a recent discussion with Robert Haas.
* Install a hopefully-temporary workaround for Snow Leopard readdir() bug.Tom Lane2009-09-12

* Fix assertion failure when a SELECT DISTINCT ON expression is volatile.Tom Lane2009-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this case we generate two PathKey references to the expression (one for DISTINCT and one for ORDER BY) and they really need to refer to the same EquivalenceClass. However get_eclass_for_sort_expr was being overly paranoid and creating two different EC's. Correct behavior is to use the SortGroupRef index to decide whether two references to volatile expressions that are equal() (ie textually equivalent) should be considered the same. Backpatch to 8.4. Possibly this should be changed in 8.3 as well, but I'll refrain in the absence of evidence of a visible failure in that branch. Per bug #5049.
* Increase the maximum value of extra_float_digits to 3, and have pg_dumpTom Lane2009-09-11
| | | | | | | use that value when the backend is new enough to allow it. This responds to bug report from Keh-Cheng Chu pointing out that although 2 extra digits should be sufficient to dump and restore float8 exactly, it is possible to need 3 extra digits for float4 values.
* On Windows, when a file is deleted and another process still has an openHeikki Linnakangas2009-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | file handle on it, the file goes into "pending deletion" state where it still shows up in directory listing, but isn't accessible otherwise. That confuses RemoveOldXLogFiles(), making it think that the file hasn't been archived yet, while it actually was, and it was deleted along with the .done file. Fix that by renaming the file with ".deleted" extension before deleting it. Also check the return value of rename() and unlink(), so that if the removal fails for any reason (e.g another process is holding the file locked), we don't delete the .done file until the WAL file is really gone. Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows.
* Fix/improve bytea and boolean support in PL/PythonPeter Eisentraut2009-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before, PL/Python converted data between SQL and Python by going through a C string representation. This broke for bytea in two ways: - On input (function parameters), you would get a Python string that contains bytea's particular external representation with backslashes etc., instead of a sequence of bytes, which is what you would expect in a Python environment. This problem is exacerbated by the new bytea output format. - On output (function return value), null bytes in the Python string would cause truncation before the data gets stored into a bytea datum. This is now fixed by converting directly between the PostgreSQL datum and the Python representation. The required generalized infrastructure also allows for other improvements in passing: - When returning a boolean value, the SQL datum is now true if and only if Python considers the value that was passed out of the PL/Python function to be true. Previously, this determination was left to the boolean data type input function. So, now returning 'foo' results in true, because Python considers it true, rather than false because PostgreSQL considers it false. - On input, we can convert the integer and float types directly to their Python equivalents without having to go through an intermediate string representation. original patch by Caleb Welton, with updates by myself
* Fix bug with WITH RECURSIVE immediately inside WITH RECURSIVE. 99% of theTom Lane2009-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | code was already okay with this, but the hack that obtained the output column types of a recursive union in advance of doing real parse analysis of the recursive union forgot to handle the case where there was an inner WITH clause available to the non-recursive term. Best fix seems to be to refactor so that we don't need the "throwaway" parse analysis step at all. Instead, teach the transformSetOperationStmt code to set up the CTE's output column information after it's processed the non-recursive term normally. Per report from David Fetter.
* Add a boolean GUC parameter "bonjour" to control whether a Bonjour-enabledTom Lane2009-09-08
| | | | | | | | build actually attempts to advertise itself via Bonjour. Formerly it always did so, which meant that packagers had to decide for their users whether this behavior was wanted or not. The default is "off" to be on the safe side, though this represents a change in the default behavior of a Bonjour-enabled build. Per discussion.
* Replace use of the long-deprecated Bonjour API DNSServiceRegistrationCreateTom Lane2009-09-08
| | | | | | | with the not-so-deprecated DNSServiceRegister. This patch shouldn't change any user-visible behavior, it just gets rid of a deprecation warning in --with-bonjour builds. The new code will fail on OS X releases before 10.3, but it seems unlikely that anyone will want to run Postgres 8.5 on 10.2.
* Remove outside-the-scanner references to "yyleng".Tom Lane2009-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | It seems the flex developers have decided to change yyleng from int to size_t. This has already happened in the latest release of OS X, and will start happening elsewhere once the next release of flex appears. Rather than trying to divine how it's declared in any particular build, let's just remove the one existing not-very-necessary external usage. Back-patch to all supported branches; not so much because users in the field are likely to care about building old branches with cutting-edge flex, as to keep OSX-based buildfarm members from having problems with old branches.

* Remove pgstat's discrimination against MsgVacuum and MsgAnalyze messages.Tom Lane2009-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, these message types would be discarded unless there was already a stats hash table entry for the target table. However, the intent of saving hash table space for unused tables was subverted by the fact that the physical I/O done by the vacuum or analyze would result in an immediately following tabstat message, which would create the hash table entry anyway. All that we had left was surprising loss of statistical data, as in a recent complaint from Jaime Casanova. It seems unlikely that a real database would have many tables that go totally untouched over the long haul, so the consensus is that this "optimization" serves little purpose anyhow. Remove it, and just create the hash table entry on demand in all cases.
* Tigthen binary receive functions so that they reject values that the textHeikki Linnakangas2009-09-04
| | | | | | | | | input functions don't accept either. While the backend can handle such values fine, they can cause trouble in clients and in pg_dump/restore. This is followup to the original issue on time datatype reported by Andrew McNamara a while ago. Like that one, none of these seem worth back-patching.
