* Fix upper limit of superuser_reserved_connections, add limit for wal_sendersMagnus Hagander2012-08-10
| | | | | | | | Should be limited to the maximum number of connections excluding autovacuum workers, not including. Add similar check for max_wal_senders, which should never be higher than max_connections.

* Make psql -1 < file behave as expected.Robert Haas2012-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, the -1 option was silently ignored. Also, emit an error if -1 is used in a context where it won't be respected, to avoid user confusion. Original patch by Fabien COELHO, but this version is quite different from the original submission.
* Fix typo in commentAlvaro Herrera2012-08-08

* Merge parser's p_relnamespace and p_varnamespace lists into a single list.Tom Lane2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | Now that we are storing structs in these lists, the distinction between the two lists can be represented with a couple of extra flags while using only a single list. This simplifies the code and should save a little bit of palloc traffic, since the majority of RTEs are represented in both lists anyway.
* Fix minor bug in XLogFileRead() that accidentally worked.Simon Riggs2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | | Cascading replication copied the incoming file into pg_xlog but didn't set path correctly, so the first attempt to open file failed causing it to loop around and look for file in pg_xlog. So the earlier coding worked, but accidentally rather than by design. Spotted by Fujii Masao, fix by Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs
* Fix cache flush hazard in event trigger cache.Robert Haas2012-08-08
| | | | Bug spotted by Jeff Davis using -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.
* Add additional C comments for to_date/to_char() fixes.Bruce Momjian2012-08-08

* Update isolation tests' README file.Tom Lane2012-08-08
| | | | | The directions explaining about running the prepared-transactions test were not updated in commit ae55d9fbe3871a5e6309d9b91629f1b0ff2b8cba.
* Fix TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId().Tom Lane2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was broken in commit ed0b409d22346b1b027a4c2099ca66984d94b6dd, which revised the GlobalTransactionData struct to not include the associated PGPROC as its first member, but overlooked one place where a cast was used in reliance on that equivalence. The most effective way of fixing this seems to be to create a new function that looks up the GlobalTransactionData struct given the XID, and make both TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId and TwoPhaseGetDummyProc rely on that. Per report from Robert Ross.
* Implement SQL-standard LATERAL subqueries.Tom Lane2012-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the standard syntax of LATERAL attached to a sub-SELECT in FROM, and also allows LATERAL attached to a function in FROM, since set-returning function calls are expected to be one of the principal use-cases. The main change here is a rewrite of the mechanism for keeping track of which relations are visible for column references while the FROM clause is being scanned. The parser "namespace" lists are no longer lists of bare RTEs, but are lists of ParseNamespaceItem structs, which carry an RTE pointer as well as some visibility-controlling flags. Aside from supporting LATERAL correctly, this lets us get rid of the ancient hacks that required rechecking subqueries and JOIN/ON and function-in-FROM expressions for invalid references after they were initially parsed. Invalid column references are now always correctly detected on sight. In passing, remove assorted parser error checks that are now dead code by virtue of our having gotten rid of add_missing_from, as well as some comments that are obsolete for the same reason. (It was mainly add_missing_from that caused so much fudging here in the first place.) The planner support for this feature is very minimal, and will be improved in future patches. It works well enough for testing purposes, though. catversion bump forced due to new field in RangeTblEntry.
* Tweak new Perl pgindent for compatibility with middle-aged Perls.Tom Lane2012-08-07
| | | | | | We seem to have a rough policy that our Perl scripts should work with Perl 5.8, so make this one do so. Main change is to not use the newfangled \h character class in regexes; "[ \t]" is a serviceable replacement.
* Fix memory leaks in event trigger code.Robert Haas2012-08-07
| | | | Spotted by Jeff Davis.
* Fix to_char(), to_date(), and to_timestamp() to handle negative/BCBruce Momjian2012-08-07
| | | | | | | | century specifications just like positive/AD centuries. Previously the behavior was either wrong or inconsistent with positive/AD handling. Centuries without years now always assume the first year of the century, which is now documented.
* Fix redundant wordingAlvaro Herrera2012-08-07

* fsync backup_label after pg_start_backup()Simon Riggs2012-08-07

* Complain with proper error message if streaming stops prematurelyMagnus Hagander2012-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | In particular, with a controlled shutdown of the master, pg_basebackup with streaming log could terminate without an error message, even though the backup is not consistent. In passing, fix a few cases where walfile wasn't properly set to -1 after closing. Fujii Masao
* Perform conversion from Python unicode to string/bytes object via UTF-8.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to convert the unicode object directly to a string in the server encoding by calling Python's PyUnicode_AsEncodedString function. In other words, we used Python's routines to do the encoding. However, that has a few problems. First of all, it required keeping a mapping table of Python encoding names and PostgreSQL encodings. But the real killer was that Python doesn't support EUC_TW and MULE_INTERNAL encodings at all. Instead, convert the Python unicode object to UTF-8, and use PostgreSQL's encoding conversion functions to convert from UTF-8 to server encoding. We were already doing the same in the other direction in PLyUnicode_FromString, so this is more consistent, too. Note: This makes SQL_ASCII to behave more leniently. We used to map SQL_ASCII to Python's 'ascii', which on Python means strict 7-bit ASCII only, so you got an error if the python string contained anything but pure ASCII. You no longer get an error; you get the UTF-8 representation of the string instead. Backpatch to 9.0, where these conversions were introduced. Jan Urbański
* Replace pgindent shell script with Perl script. Update perltidyBruce Momjian2012-08-04
| | | | | | instructions to perltidy Perl files that lack Perl file extensions. pgindent Perl coding by Andrew Dunstan, restructured by me.
* Fix bugs with parsing signed hh:mm and hh:mm:ss fields in interval input.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DecodeInterval() failed to honor the "range" parameter (the special SQL syntax for indicating which fields appear in the literal string) if the time was signed. This seems inappropriate, so make it work like the not-signed case. The inconsistency was introduced in my commit f867339c0148381eb1d01f93ab5c79f9d10211de, which as noted in its log message was only really focused on making SQL-compliant literals work per spec. Including a sign here is not per spec, but if we're going to allow it then it's reasonable to expect it to work like the not-signed case. Also, remove bogus setting of tmask, which caused subsequent processing to think that what had been given was a timezone and not an hh:mm(:ss) field, thus confusing checks for redundant fields. This seems to be an aboriginal mistake in Lockhart's commit 2cf1642461536d0d8f3a1cf124ead0eac04eb760. Add regression test cases to illustrate the changed behaviors. Back-patch as far as 8.4, where support for spec-compliant interval literals was added. Range problem reported and diagnosed by Amit Kapila, tmask problem by me.
* Improve underdocumented btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid() code.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As noted by Noah Misch, btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid is critically dependent on the assumption that it's examining a consistent state of the database. This was undocumented though, so the seemingly-unrelated check for no active HS sessions might be thought to be merely an optional optimization. Improve comments, and add an explicit check of reachedConsistency just to be sure. This function returns InvalidTransactionId (thereby killing all HS transactions) in several cases that are not nearly unlikely enough for my taste. This commit doesn't attempt to fix those deficiencies, just document them. Back-patch to 9.2, not from any real functional need but just to keep the branches more closely synced to simplify possible future back-patching.
* In SPGiST replay, do conflict resolution before modifying the page.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | In yesterday's commit 962e0cc71e839c58fb9125fa85511b8bbb8bdbee, I added the ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot call in the wrong place. I correctly put it before spgRedoVacuumRedirect itself would modify the index page --- but not before RestoreBkpBlocks, so replay of a record with a full-page image would modify the page before kicking off any conflicting HS transactions. Oops.
* Fix race conditions associated with SPGiST redirection tuples.Tom Lane2012-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The correct test for whether a redirection tuple is removable is whether tuple's xid < RecentGlobalXmin, not OldestXmin; the previous coding failed to protect index searches being done in concurrent transactions that have no XID. This mirrors the recent fix in btree's page recycling logic made in commit d3abbbebe52eb1e59e621c880ad57df9d40d13f2. Also, WAL-log the newest XID of any removed redirection tuple on an index page, and apply ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot during InHotStandby WAL replay. This protects against concurrent Hot Standby transactions possibly needing to see the redirection tuple(s). Per my query of 2012-03-12 and subsequent discussion.
* Replace libpq's "row processor" API with a "single row" mode.Tom Lane2012-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After taking awhile to digest the row-processor feature that was added to libpq in commit 92785dac2ee7026948962cd61c4cd84a2d052772, we've concluded it is over-complicated and too hard to use. Leave the core infrastructure changes in place (that is, there's still a row processor function inside libpq), but remove the exposed API pieces, and instead provide a "single row" mode switch that causes PQgetResult to return one row at a time in separate PGresult objects. This approach incurs more overhead than proper use of a row processor callback would, since construction of a PGresult per row adds extra cycles. However, it is far easier to use and harder to break. The single-row mode still affords applications the primary benefit that the row processor API was meant to provide, namely not having to accumulate large result sets in memory before processing them. Preliminary testing suggests that we can probably buy back most of the extra cycles by micro-optimizing construction of the extra results, but that task will be left for another day. Marko Kreen
* Fix WITH attached to a nested set operation (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT).Tom Lane2012-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Parse analysis neglected to cover the case of a WITH clause attached to an intermediate-level set operation; it only handled WITH at the top level or WITH attached to a leaf-level SELECT. Per report from Adam Mackler. In HEAD, I rearranged the order of SelectStmt's fields to put withClause with the other fields that can appear on non-leaf SelectStmts. In back branches, leave it alone to avoid a possible ABI break for third-party code. Back-patch to 8.4 where WITH support was added.
* Fix syslogger so that log_truncate_on_rotation works in the first rotation.Tom Lane2012-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the original coding of the log rotation stuff, we did not bother to make the truncation logic work for the very first rotation after postmaster start (or after a syslogger crash and restart). It just always appended in that case. It did not seem terribly important at the time, but we've recently had two separate complaints from people who expected it to work unsurprisingly. (Both users tend to restart the postmaster about as often as a log rotation is configured to happen, which is maybe not typical use, but still...) Since the initial log file is opened in the postmaster, fixing this requires passing down some more state to the syslogger child process. It's always been like this, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* pg_basebackup: stylistic adjustmentsAlvaro Herrera2012-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The most user-visible part of this is to change the long options --statusint and --noloop to --status-interval and --no-loop, respectively, per discussion. Also, consistently enclose file names in double quotes, per our conventions; and consistently use the term "transaction log file" to talk about WAL segments. (Someday we may need to go over this terminology and make it consistent across the whole source code.) Finally, reflow the code to better fit in 80 columns, and have pgindent fix it up some more.
* Improve reporting of error situations in find_other_exec().Tom Lane2012-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | This function suppressed any stderr output from the called program, which is unnecessary in the normal case and unhelpful in error cases. It also gave a rather opaque message along the lines of "fgets failure: Success" in case the called program failed to return anything on stdout. Since we've seen multiple reports of people not understanding what's wrong when pg_ctl reports this, improve the message. Back-patch to all active branches.
* Only allow autovacuum to be auto-canceled by a directly blocked process.Tom Lane2012-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the original coding of the autovacuum cancel feature, commit acac68b2bcae818bc8803b8cb8cbb17eee8d5e2b, an autovacuum process was considered a target for cancellation if it was found to hard-block any process examined in the deadlock search. This patch tightens the test so that the autovacuum must directly hard-block the current process. This should make the behavior more predictable in general, and in particular it ensures that an autovacuum will not be canceled with less than deadlock_timeout grace period. In the old coding, it was possible for an autovacuum to be canceled almost instantly, given unfortunate timing of two or more other processes' lock attempts. This also justifies the logging methodology in the recent commit d7318d43d891bd63e82dcfc27948113ed7b1db80; without this restriction, that patch isn't providing enough information to see the connection of the canceling process to the autovacuum. Like that one, patch all the way back.
* Tab complete table names after ALTER TABLE x [NO] INHERIT.Robert Haas2012-07-26
| | | | Jeff Janes
* Log a better message when canceling autovacuum.Robert Haas2012-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | The old message was at DEBUG2, so typically it didn't show up in the log at all. As a result, in most cases where autovacuum was canceled, the only information that was logged was the table being vacuumed, with no indication as to what problem caused the cancel. Crank up the level to LOG and add some more details to assist with debugging. Back-patch all the way, per discussion on pgsql-hackers.
* Fix longstanding crash-safety bug with newly-created-or-reset sequences.Tom Lane2012-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a crash occurred immediately after the first nextval() call for a serial column, WAL replay would restore the sequence to a state in which it appeared that no nextval() had been done, thus allowing the first sequence value to be returned again by the next nextval() call; as reported in bug #6748 from Xiangming Mei. More generally, the problem would occur if an ALTER SEQUENCE was executed on a freshly created or reset sequence. (The manifestation with serial columns was introduced in 8.2 when we added an ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY step to serial column creation.) The cause is that sequence creation attempted to save one WAL entry by writing out a WAL record that made it appear that the first nextval() had already happened (viz, with is_called = true), while marking the sequence's in-database state with log_cnt = 1 to show that the first nextval() need not emit a WAL record. However, ALTER SEQUENCE would emit a new WAL entry reflecting the actual in-database state (with is_called = false). Then, nextval would allocate the first sequence value and set is_called = true, but it would trust the log_cnt value and not emit any WAL record. A crash at this point would thus restore the sequence to its post-ALTER state, causing the next nextval() call to return the first sequence value again. To fix, get rid of the idea of logging an is_called status different from reality. This means that the first nextval-driven WAL record will happen at the first nextval call not the second, but the marginal cost of that is pretty negligible. In addition, make sure that ALTER SEQUENCE resets log_cnt to zero in any case where it touches sequence parameters that affect future nextval results. This will result in some user-visible changes in the contents of a sequence's log_cnt column, as reflected in the patch's regression test changes; but no application should be depending on that anyway, since it was already true that log_cnt changes rather unpredictably depending on checkpoint timing. In addition, make some basically-cosmetic improvements to get rid of sequence.c's undesirable intimacy with page layout details. It was always really trying to WAL-log the contents of the sequence tuple, so we should have it do that directly using a HeapTuple's t_data and t_len, rather than backing into it with some magic assumptions about where the tuple would be on the sequence's page. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Add translator comments to module namesAlvaro Herrera2012-07-25

* Change syntax of new CHECK NO INHERIT constraintsAlvaro Herrera2012-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | The initially implemented syntax, "CHECK NO INHERIT (expr)" was not deemed very good, so switch to "CHECK (expr) NO INHERIT" instead. This way it looks similar to SQL-standards compliant constraint attribute. Backport to 9.2 where the new syntax and feature was introduced. Per discussion.
* Update information schema to SQL:2011Peter Eisentraut2012-07-23
| | | | | This is just a section renumbering for now. Some details might be filled in later.
* Fix name collision between concurrent regression tests.Tom Lane2012-07-22
| | | | | | | | Commit f5bcd398addcbeb785f0513cf28cba5d1ecd2c8a introduced a test using a table named "circles" in inherit.sql. Unfortunately, the concurrently executed constraints test was already using that table name, so the parallel regression tests would sometimes fail. Rename table to dodge the problem. Per buildfarm.
* Improve copydir() code for the case that fsync is off.Tom Lane2012-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | We should avoid calling sync_file_range or posix_fadvise in this case, since (a) we don't really care if the data gets synced, and might as well save the kernel calls; (b) at least on Linux we know that the kernel might block us until it's scheduled the write. Also, avoid making a useless second traversal of the directory tree if we're not actually going to call fsync(2) after all.
* Use --nosync during make check's initdb call.Tom Lane2012-07-21
| | | | | | | We left this out of commit b966dd6c4228d696b291c1cdcb5ab8c8475fefa8 so as to get some more buildfarm testing of the new fsync code in initdb. But since no problems have turned up, it's probably time to save the cycles.
* Suppress volatile-related warning seen in some compilers.Tom Lane2012-07-21
| | | | | | Antique versions of gcc complain about vars that are initialized outside PG_TRY and then modified within it. Rather than marking the var volatile, expend one more line of code.
* Account for SRFs in targetlists in planner rowcount estimates.Tom Lane2012-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We made use of the ROWS estimate for set-returning functions used in FROM, but not for those used in SELECT targetlists; which is a bit of an oversight considering there are common usages that require the latter approach. Improve that. (I had initially thought it might be worth folding this into cost_qual_eval, but after investigation concluded that that wouldn't be very helpful, so just do it separately.) Per complaint from David Johnston. Back-patch to 9.2, but not further, for fear of destabilizing plan choices in existing releases.
* Revert temporary patch to debug Windows breakage.Robert Haas2012-07-20
| | | | This reverts commit 0a248208a038d7847ef98996c6b70209d782415c.
* Repair plpgsql_validator breakage.Robert Haas2012-07-20
| | | | | | Commit 3a0e4d36ebd7f477822d5bae41ba121a40d22ccc arranged to reference stack-allocated variables after they were out of scope. That's no good, so let's arrange to not do that after all.
* Remove now unneeded results file for disabled prepared transactions case.Andrew Dunstan2012-07-20

* Temporary patch to try to debug why event trigger patch broke Windows.Robert Haas2012-07-20
| | | | Apologies for the ugliness.
* Remove prepared transactions from main isolation test schedule.Andrew Dunstan2012-07-20
| | | | | | | | There is no point in running this test when prepared transactions are disabled, which is the default. New make targets that include the test are provided. This will save some useless waste of cycles on buildfarm machines. Backpatch to 9.1 where these tests were introduced.
* pg_dump: Simplify mkdir() error checkingPeter Eisentraut2012-07-20
| | | | | mkdir() can check for errors itself. We don't need to code that ourselves again.
* connoinherit may be true only for CHECK constraintsAlvaro Herrera2012-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code was setting it true for other constraints, which is bogus. Doing so caused bogus catalog entries for such constraints, and in particular caused an error to be raised when trying to drop a constraint of types other than CHECK from a table that has children, such as reported in bug #6712. In 9.2, additionally ignore connoinherit=true for other constraint types, to avoid having to force initdb; existing databases might already contain bogus catalog entries. Includes a catversion bump (in HEAD only). Bug report from Miroslav Šulc Analysis from Amit Kapila and Noah Misch; Amit also contributed the patch.
* Fix whole-row Var evaluation to cope with resjunk columns (again).Tom Lane2012-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a whole-row Var is reading the result of a subquery, we need it to ignore any "resjunk" columns that the subquery might have evaluated for GROUP BY or ORDER BY purposes. We've hacked this area before, in commit 68e40998d058c1f6662800a648ff1e1ce5d99cba, but that fix only covered whole-row Vars of named composite types, not those of RECORD type; and it was mighty klugy anyway, since it just assumed without checking that any extra columns in the result must be resjunk. A proper fix requires getting hold of the subquery's targetlist so we can actually see which columns are resjunk (whereupon we can use a JunkFilter to get rid of them). So bite the bullet and add some infrastructure to make that possible. Per report from Andrew Dunstan and additional testing by Merlin Moncure. Back-patch to all supported branches. In 8.3, also back-patch commit 292176a118da6979e5d368a4baf27f26896c99a5, which for some reason I had not done at the time, but it's a prerequisite for this change.
