* Preserve SQLSTATE when an SPI error is propagated through PL/pythonHeikki Linnakangas2011-11-24
| | | | | | | exception handler. This was a regression in 9.1, when the capability to catch specific SPI errors was added, so backpatch to 9.1. Mika Eloranta, with some editing by Jan Urbański.
* Adjust range_adjacent to support different canonicalization rules.Tom Lane2011-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | The original coding would not work for discrete ranges in which the canonicalization rule is to produce symmetric boundaries (either [] or () style), as noted by Jeff Davis. Florian Pflug pointed out that we could fix that by invoking the canonicalization function to see if the range "between" the two given ranges normalizes to empty. This implementation of Florian's idea is a tad slower than the original code, but only in the case where there actually is a canonicalization function --- if not, it's essentially the same logic as before.
* Creator of a range type must have permission to call support functions.Tom Lane2011-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since range types can be created by non-superusers, we need to consider their permissions. Ideally we'd check this when the type is used, not when it's created, but that seems like much more trouble than it's worth. The existing restriction that the support functions be immutable already prevents most cases where an unauthorized call to a function might be thought a security issue, and the fact that the user has no access to the results of the system's calls to subtype_diff closes off the other plausible reason for concern. So this check is basically pro-forma, but let's make it anyway.
* Remove user-selectable ANALYZE option for range types.Tom Lane2011-11-23
| | | | | | | | | It's not clear that a per-datatype typanalyze function would be any more useful than a generic typanalyze for ranges. What *is* clear is that letting unprivileged users select typanalyze functions is a crash risk or worse. So remove the option from CREATE TYPE AS RANGE, and instead put in a generic typanalyze function for ranges. The generic function does nothing as yet, but hopefully we'll improve that before 9.2 release.
* Remove zero- and one-argument range constructor functions.Tom Lane2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, the zero-argument forms aren't really worth the catalog space (just write 'empty' instead). The one-argument forms have some use, but they also have a serious problem with looking too much like functional cast notation; to the point where in many real use-cases, the parser would misinterpret what was wanted. Committing this as a separate patch, with the thought that we might want to revert part or all of it if we can think of some way around the cast ambiguity.
* Improve implementation of range-contains-element tests.Tom Lane2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implement these tests directly instead of constructing a singleton range and then applying range-contains. This saves a range serialize/deserialize cycle as well as a couple of redundant bound-comparison steps, and adds very little code on net. Remove elem_contained_by_range from the GiST opclass: it doesn't belong there because there is no way to use it in an index clause (where the indexed column would have to be on the left). Its commutator is in the opclass, and that's what counts.
* Check for INSERT privileges in SELECT INTO / CREATE TABLE AS.Robert Haas2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the normal course of events, this matters only if ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES has been used to revoke default INSERT permission. Whether or not the new behavior is more or less likely to be what the user wants when dealing only with the built-in privilege facilities is arguable, but it's clearly better when using a loadable module such as sepgsql that may use the hook in ExecCheckRTPerms to enforce additional permissions checks. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Albe Laurenz
* Still more review for range-types patch.Tom Lane2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, relax the range input/construction rules so that the only hard error is lower bound > upper bound. Cases where the lower bound is <= upper bound, but the range nonetheless normalizes to empty, are now permitted. Fix core dump in range_adjacent when bounds are infinite. Marginal cleanup of regression test cases, some more code commenting.
* Continue to allow VACUUM to mark last block of index dirtySimon Riggs2011-11-22
| | | | | even when there is no work to do. Further analysis required. Revert of patch c1458cc495ff800cd176a1c2e56d8b62680d9b71
* More code review for rangetypes patch.Tom Lane2011-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | Fix up some infelicitous coding in DefineRange, and add some missing error checks. Rearrange operator strategy number assignments for GiST anyrange opclass so that they don't make such a mess of opr_sanity's table of operator names associated with different strategy numbers. Assign hopefully-temporary selectivity estimators to range operators that didn't have one --- poor as the estimates are, they're still a lot better than the default 0.5 estimate, and they'll shut up the opr_sanity test that wants to see selectivity estimators on all built-in operators.
* Further code review for range types patch.Tom Lane2011-11-20
| | | | | Fix some bugs in coercion logic and pg_dump; more comment cleanup; minor cosmetic improvements.
* Avoid floating-point underflow while tracking buffer allocation rate.Tom Lane2011-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the system is idle for awhile after activity, the "smoothed_alloc" state variable in BgBufferSync converges slowly to zero. With standard IEEE float arithmetic this results in several iterations with denormalized values, which causes kernel traps and annoying log messages on some poorly-designed platforms. There's no real need to track such small values of smoothed_alloc, so we can prevent the kernel traps by forcing it to zero as soon as it's too small to be interesting for our purposes. This issue is purely cosmetic, since the iterations don't happen fast enough for the kernel traps to pose any meaningful performance problem, but still it seems worth shutting up the log messages. The kernel log messages were previously reported by a number of people, but kudos to Greg Matthews for tracking down exactly where they were coming from.
* Further review of range-types patch.Tom Lane2011-11-18
| | | | Lots of documentation cleanup today, and still more type_sanity tests.
* Avoid marking buffer dirty when VACUUM has no work to do.Simon Riggs2011-11-18
| | | | | | | When wal_level = 'hot_standby' we touched the last page of the relation during a VACUUM, even if nothing else had happened. That would alter the LSN of the last block and set the mtime of the relation file unnecessarily. Noted by Thom Brown.
* Do missed autoheader run for previous commit.Tom Lane2011-11-17
|
* Further consolidation of DROP statement handling.Robert Haas2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of an impressive amount of duplicative code, with only minimal behavior changes. DROP FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER now requires object ownership rather than superuser privileges, matching the documentation we already have. We also eliminate the historical warning about dropping a built-in function as unuseful. All operations are now performed in the same order for all object types handled by dropcmds.c. KaiGai Kohei, with minor revisions by me
* Declare range inclusion operators as taking anyelement not anynonarray.Tom Lane2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Use of anynonarray was a crude hack to get around ambiguity versus the array inclusion operators of the same names. My previous patch to extend the parser's type resolution heuristics makes that unnecessary, so use the more general declaration instead. This eliminates a wart that these operators couldn't be used with ranges over arrays, which are otherwise supported just fine. Also, mark range_before and range_after as commutator operators, per discussion with Jeff Davis.
* Extend the unknowns-are-same-as-known-inputs type resolution heuristic.Tom Lane2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For a very long time, one of the parser's heuristics for resolving ambiguous operator calls has been to assume that unknown-type literals are of the same type as the other input (if it's known). However, this was only used in the first step of quickly checking for an exact-types match, and thus did not help in resolving matches that require coercion, such as matches to polymorphic operators. As we add more polymorphic operators, this becomes more of a problem. This patch adds another use of the same heuristic as a last-ditch check before failing to resolve an ambiguous operator or function call. In particular this will let us define the range inclusion operator in a less limited way (to come in a follow-on patch).
* Fix range_cmp_bounds for the case of equal-valued exclusive bounds.Tom Lane2011-11-17
| | | | | | Also improve its comments and related regression tests. Jeff Davis, with some further adjustments by Tom
* Remove ancient downcasing code from procedural language operations.Robert Haas2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | A very long time ago, language names were specified as literals rather than identifiers, so this code was added to do case-folding. But that style has ben deprecated for many years so this isn't needed any more. Language names will still be downcased when specified as unquoted identifiers, but quoted identifiers or the old style using string literals will be left as-is.
* Restructure get_object_address() so it's safe against concurrent DDL.Robert Haas2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | This gives a much better error message when the object of interest is concurrently dropped and avoids needlessly failing when the object of interest is concurrently dropped and recreated. It also improves the behavior of two concurrent DROP IF EXISTS operations targeted at the same object; as before, one will drop the object, but now the other will emit the usual NOTICE indicating that the object does not exist, instead of rolling back. As a fringe benefit, it's also slightly less code.
* Applied Zoltan's patch to correctly align interval and timestamp data in ↵Michael Meskes2011-11-17
| | | | ecpg's sqlda.
* Code review for range-types catalog entries.Tom Lane2011-11-16
| | | | | | | Fix assorted infelicities, such as dependency on OIDs that aren't hardwired, as well as outright misdeclaration of daterange_canonical(), which resulted in crashes if you invoked it directly. Add some more regression tests to try to catch similar mistakes in future.
* Don't elide blank lines when accumulating psql command history.Robert Haas2011-11-15
| | | | | | | This can change the meaning of queries, if the blank line happens to occur in the middle of a quoted literal, as per complaint from Tomas Vondra. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Improve caching in range type I/O functions.Tom Lane2011-11-15
| | | | | Cache the the element type's I/O info across calls, not only the range type's info. In passing, also clean up hash_range a bit more.
* Restructure function-internal caching in the range type code.Tom Lane2011-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the responsibility for caching specialized information about range types into the type cache, so that the catalog lookups only have to occur once per session. Rearrange APIs a bit so that fn_extra caching is actually effective in the GiST support code. (Use of OidFunctionCallN is bad enough for performance in itself, but it also prevents the function from exploiting fn_extra caching.) The range I/O functions are still not very bright about caching repeated lookups, but that seems like material for a separate patch. Also, avoid unnecessary use of memcpy to fetch/store the range type OID and flags, and don't use the full range_deserialize machinery when all we need to see is the flags value. Also fix API error in range_gist_penalty --- it was failing to set *penalty for any case involving an empty range.
* Fix alignment and toasting bugs in range types.Tom Lane2011-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A range type whose element type has 'd' alignment must have 'd' alignment itself, else there is no guarantee that the element value can be used in-place. (Because range_deserialize uses att_align_pointer which forcibly aligns the given pointer, violations of this rule did not lead to SIGBUS but rather to garbage data being extracted, as in one of the added regression test cases.) Also, you can't put a toast pointer inside a range datum, since the referenced value could disappear with the range datum still present. For consistency with the handling of arrays and records, I also forced decompression of in-line-compressed bound values. It would work to store them as-is, but our policy is to avoid situations that might result in double compression. Add assorted regression tests for this, and bump catversion because of fixes to built-in pg_type entries. Also some marginal cleanup of inconsistent/unnecessary error checks.
* Update oidjoins regression test to match git HEAD.Tom Lane2011-11-14
| | | | This is mostly to add some sanity checking for the pg_range catalog.
* Return NULL instead of throwing error when desired bound is not available.Tom Lane2011-11-14
| | | | | | | | Change range_lower and range_upper to return NULL rather than throwing an error when the input range is empty or the relevant bound is infinite. Per discussion, throwing an error seems likely to be unduly hard to work with. Also, this is more consistent with the behavior of the constructors, which treat NULL as meaning an infinite bound.
* Return FALSE instead of throwing error for comparisons with empty ranges.Tom Lane2011-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change range_before, range_after, range_adjacent to return false rather than throwing an error when one or both input ranges are empty. The original definition is unnecessarily difficult to use, and also can result in undesirable planner failures since the planner could try to compare an empty range to something else while deriving statistical estimates. (This was, in fact, the cause of repeatable regression test failures on buildfarm member jaguar, as well as intermittent failures elsewhere.) Also tweak rangetypes regression test to not drop all the objects it creates, so that the final state of the regression database contains some rangetype objects for pg_dump testing.
* Fix copyright notices, other minor editing in new range-types code.Tom Lane2011-11-14
| | | | | | | No functional changes in this commit (except I could not resist the temptation to re-word a couple of error messages). This is just manual cleanup after pgindent to make the code look reasonably like other PG code, in preparation for more detailed code review to come.

* Wakeup WALWriter as needed for asynchronous commit performance.Simon Riggs2011-11-13
| | | | | | | | Previously we waited for wal_writer_delay before flushing WAL. Now we also wake WALWriter as soon as a WAL buffer page has filled. Significant effect observed on performance of asynchronous commits by Robert Haas, attributed to the ability to set hint bits on tuples earlier and so reducing contention caused by clog lookups.
* In plpgsql, allow foreign tables to define row types.Tom Lane2011-11-12
| | | | | | | | | This seems to have been just an oversight in previous foreign-table work. A quick grep didn't turn up any other places where RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE was obviously omitted. One change noted by Alexander Soudakov, the other by me. Back-patch to 9.1.
* Add psql expanded auto modePeter Eisentraut2011-11-12
| | | | | | | This adds the "auto" option to the \x command, which switches to the expanded mode when the normal output would be wider than the screen. reviewed by Noah Misch
* Avoid retaining multiple relation locks in RangeVarGetRelid.Robert Haas2011-11-12
| | | | | | | | If it turns out we've locked the wrong OID, release the old lock. In most cases, it's pretty harmless to retain the extra lock, but this seems tidier and avoids using lock table slots unnecessarily. Per discussion with Tom Lane.
* Fix psql's \dd version check for operator families.Robert Haas2011-11-11
| | | | Report and patch by Josh Kupershmidt; comment revisions by me.
* Throw nice error if server is too old to support psql's \ef or \sf command.Tom Lane2011-11-10
| | | | | | | | Previously, you'd get "function pg_catalog.pg_get_functiondef(integer) does not exist", which is at best rather unprofessional-looking. Back-patch to 8.4 where \ef was introduced. Josh Kupershmidt
* Revert removal of trace_userlocks, because userlocks aren't gone.Robert Haas2011-11-10
| | | | | | This reverts commit 0180bd6180511875db046bf8ddcaa633a2952dfd. contrib/userlock is gone, but user-level locking still exists, and is exposed via the pg_advisory* family of functions.
* Avoid platform-dependent infinite loop in pg_dump.Tom Lane2011-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | If malloc(0) returns NULL, the binary search in findSecLabels() will probably go into an infinite loop when there are no security labels, because NULL-1 is greater than NULL after wraparound. (We've seen this pathology before ... I wonder whether there's a way to detect the class of bugs automatically?) Diagnosis and patch by Steve Singer, cosmetic adjustments by me
* Fix server header file installation with vpath buildsPeter Eisentraut2011-11-10
| | | | | Several server header files would not be installed in vpath builds because they live in the build directory.
* Fix another bug in the redo of COPY batches.Heikki Linnakangas2011-11-10
| | | | | I got alignment wrong in the redo routine. Spotted by redoing the log genereated by copy regression test.
* Only install the extension files for the current Python major versionPeter Eisentraut2011-11-09
|
* Fix bugs in the COPY heap-insert batching patch.Heikki Linnakangas2011-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | Forgot to call RestoreBkpBlocks() in the redo-function, as pointed out by Simon Riggs. In redo of a regular heap insert, it's taken care of in heap_redo(), but this new record type uses the heap2 RM, and heap2_redo() does not take care of that for you. Also, failed to reset the vmbuffer and all_visibile_cleared local variables after switching to a new buffer.
* Clean gettext-files file in clean targetPeter Eisentraut2011-11-09
| | | | | | | It used to be cleaned in maintainer-clean, but that is inconsistent with other cleaning of NLS files in nls-global.mk, and it's also wrong overall, because it's not part of the distribution tarball, which is the base definition of the maintainer-clean target.
* Fix compiler warning.Robert Haas2011-11-09
|
* In COPY, insert tuples to the heap in batches.Heikki Linnakangas2011-11-09
| | | | | | | This greatly reduces the WAL volume, especially when the table is narrow. The overhead of locking the heap page is also reduced. Reduced WAL traffic also makes it scale a lot better, if you run multiple COPY processes at the same time.
* Tweak new regression test case for more portability.Tom Lane2011-11-09
| | | | | Ensure that same index gets selected on 32-bit and 64-bit machines. Per buildfarm results.
