      Fix escaping in generated recovery.conf file. · 30b5ede7
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      In the primary_conninfo line that "pg_basebackup -R" generates, single
      quotes in parameter values need to be escaped into \\'; the libpq parser
      requires the quotes to be escaped into \', and recovery.conf parser requires
      the \ to be escaped into \\.
      
      Also, don't quote parameter values unnecessarily, to make the connection
      string prettier. Most options in a libpq connection string don't need
      quoting.
      
      Reported by Hari Babu, closer analysis by Zoltan Boszormenyi, although I
      didn't use his patch.

      Fixes oversight in commit 2ffa740b.
      Per report from Josh Kupershmidt.
      
      I think we've broken this case before, so let's add a regression test
      this time.

      Fix fd.c to preserve errno where needed. · 6563fb2b
      Tom Lane authored
      PathNameOpenFile failed to ensure that the correct value of errno was
      returned to its caller after a failure (because it incorrectly supposed
      that free() can never change errno).  In some cases this would result
      in a user-visible failure because an expected ENOENT errno was replaced
      with something else.  Bogus EINVAL failures have been observed on OS X,
      for example.
      
      There were also a couple of places that could mangle an important value
      of errno if FDDEBUG was defined.  While the usefulness of that debug
      support is highly debatable, we might as well make it safe to use,
      so add errno save/restore logic to the DO_DB macro.
      
      Per bug #8167 from Nelson Minar, diagnosed by RhodiumToad.
      Back-patch to all supported branches.

      Allow CREATE FOREIGN TABLE to include SERIAL columns. · b1420686
      Tom Lane authored
      The behavior is that the required sequence is created locally, which is
      appropriate because the default expression will be evaluated locally.
      Per gripe from Brad Nicholson that this case was refused with a confusing
      error message.  We could have improved the error message but it seems
      better to just allow the case.
      
      Also, remove ALTER TABLE's arbitrary prohibition against being applied to
      foreign tables, which was pretty inconsistent considering we allow it for
      views, sequences, and other relation types that aren't even called tables.
      This is needed to avoid breaking pg_dump, which sometimes emits column
      defaults using separate ALTER TABLE commands.  (I think this can happen
      even when the default is not associated with a sequence, so that was a
      pre-existing bug once we allowed column defaults for foreign tables.)

      Fix handling of OID wraparound while in standalone mode. · e9c336c7
      Tom Lane authored
      If OID wraparound should occur while in standalone mode (unlikely but
      possible), we want to advance the counter to FirstNormalObjectId not
      FirstBootstrapObjectId.  Otherwise, user objects might be created with OIDs
      in the system-reserved range.  That isn't immediately harmful but it poses
      a risk of conflicts during future pg_upgrade operations.
      
      Noted by Andres Freund.  Back-patch to all supported branches, since all of
      them are supported sources for pg_upgrade operations.

      Fix handling of strict non-set functions with NULLs in set-valued inputs. · 904af8db
      Tom Lane authored
      In a construct like "select plain_function(set_returning_function(...))",
      the plain function is applied to each output row of the SRF successively.
      If some of the SRF outputs are NULL, and the plain function is strict,
      you'd expect to get NULL results for such rows ... but what actually
      happened was that such rows were omitted entirely from the result set.
      This was due to confusion of this case with what should happen for nested
      set-returning functions; a strict SRF is indeed supposed to yield an empty
      set for null input.  Per bug #8150 from Erwin Brandstetter.
      
      Although this has been broken forever, we're not back-patching because
      of the possibility that some apps out there expect the incorrect behavior.
      This change should be listed as a possible incompatibility in the 9.3
      release notes.

      Fix to_number() to correctly ignore thousands separator when it's '.'. · 35d50b52
      Tom Lane authored
      The existing code in NUM_numpart_from_char has hard-wired logic to treat
      '.' as decimal point, even when we're using a locale-aware format string
      and the locale says that '.' is the thousands separator.  This results in
      clearly wrong answers in FM mode (where we must be able to identify the
      decimal point location), as per bug report from Patryk Kordylewski.
      
      Since the initialization code in NUM_prepare_locale already sets up
      Np->decimal as either the locale decimal-point string or "." depending
      on which decimal-point format code was used, there's really no need to
      have any extra logic at all in NUM_numpart_from_char: we only need to
      test for a match to Np->decimal.
      
      (Note: AFAICS there's nothing in here that explicitly checks for thousands
      separators --- rather, any unmatched character is silently skipped over.
      That's pretty bogus IMO but it's not the issue being complained of.)
      
      This is a longstanding bug, but it's possible that some existing apps
      are depending on '.' being recognized as decimal point even when using
      a D format code.  Hence, no back-patch.  We should probably list this
      as a potential incompatibility in the 9.3 release notes.

      Make pg_upgrade's test script attempt to select a non-conflicting port. · 7e2b1c03
      Tom Lane authored
      Previously, the port number used in this test script was hard-wired at
      pg_upgrade's default of 50432; which is not so great because parallel build
      runs might conflict.  Commit 3d53173e
      removed this setting for the postmasters started by the script proper
      (not by pg_upgrade), which didn't do anything to fix that problem and also
      guaranteed a failure if there was a live postmaster at the build's default
      port number.  Instead, select a non-conflicting temporary port number in
      the same way that pg_regress.c does.  (Its method isn't entirely
      bulletproof, but given the lack of complaints I'm not going to worry
      about that today.)
      
      In passing, unset MAKEFLAGS and MAKELEVEL to avoid problems with the
      script's internal invocations of make, for the same reason pg_regress.c
      does: it could cause problems in a parallel make.

      Guard against input_rows == 0 in estimate_num_groups(). · 69cc60dc
      Tom Lane authored
      This case doesn't normally happen, because the planner usually clamps
      all row estimates to at least one row; but I found that it can arise
      when dealing with relations excluded by constraints.  Without a defense,
      estimate_num_groups() can return zero, which leads to divisions by zero
      inside the planner as well as assertion failures in the executor.
      
      An alternative fix would be to change set_dummy_rel_pathlist() to make
      the size estimate for a dummy relation 1 row instead of 0, but that seemed
      pretty ugly; and probably someday we'll want to drop the convention that
      the minimum rowcount estimate is 1 row.
      
      Back-patch to 8.4, as the problem can be demonstrated that far back.

      Fix management of fn_extra caching during repeated GiST index scans. · 91715e82
      Tom Lane authored
      Commit d22a09dc introduced official support
      for GiST consistentFns that want to cache data using the FmgrInfo fn_extra
      pointer: the idea was to preserve the cached values across gistrescan(),
      whereas formerly they'd been leaked.  However, there was an oversight in
      that, namely that multiple scan keys might reference the same column's
      consistentFn; the code would result in propagating the same cache value
      into multiple scan keys, resulting in crashes or wrong answers.  Use a
      separate array instead to ensure that each scan key keeps its own state.
      
      Per bug #8143 from Joel Roller.  Back-patch to 9.2 where the bug was
      introduced.

      Better fix for permissions tests in excluded subqueries. · a7b96538
      Tom Lane authored
      This reverts the code changes in 50c13748,
      which turned out to induce crashes and not completely fix the problem
      anyway.  That commit only considered single subqueries that were excluded
      by constraint-exclusion logic, but actually the problem also exists for
      subqueries that are appendrel members (ie part of a UNION ALL list).  In
      such cases we can't add a dummy subpath to the appendrel's AppendPath list
      without defeating the logic that recognizes when an appendrel is completely
      excluded.  Instead, fix the problem by having setrefs.c scan the rangetable
      an extra time looking for subqueries that didn't get into the plan tree.
      (This approach depends on the 9.2 change that made set_subquery_pathlist
      generate dummy paths for excluded single subqueries, so that the exclusion
      behavior is the same for single subqueries and appendrel members.)
      
      Note: it turns out that the appendrel form of the missed-permissions-checks
      bug exists as far back as 8.4.  However, since the practical effect of that
      bug seems pretty minimal, consensus is to not attempt to fix it in the back
      branches, at least not yet.  Possibly we could back-port this patch once
      it's gotten a reasonable amount of testing in HEAD.  For the moment I'm
      just going to revert the previous patch in 9.2.

      Fix walsender failure at promotion. · 2ffa66f4
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      If a standby server has a cascading standby server connected to it, it's
      possible that WAL has already been sent up to the next WAL page boundary,
      splitting a WAL record in the middle, when the first standby server is
      promoted. Don't throw an assertion failure or error in walsender if that
      happens.
      
      Also, fix a variant of the same bug in pg_receivexlog: if it had already
      received WAL on previous timeline up to a segment boundary, when the
      upstream standby server is promoted so that the timeline switch record falls
      on the previous segment, pg_receivexlog would miss the segment containing
      the timeline switch. To fix that, have walsender send the position of the
      timeline switch at end-of-streaming, in addition to the next timeline's ID.
      It was previously assumed that the switch happened exactly where the
      streaming stopped.
      
      Note: this is an incompatible change in the streaming protocol. You might
      get an error if you try to stream over timeline switches, if the client is
      running 9.3beta1 and the server is more recent. It should be fine after a
      reconnect, however.
