Commit d298b50a by Heikki Linnakangas requested that the version check message be updated at next release, suggesting that the appropriate text would be “9.3 or later”. The logic used for the check indicates that the correct text for 9.4 is “9.3 or 9.4”, since the logic would cause this to fail for later releases.

When array of char * was used as target for a FETCH statement returning more than one row, it tried to store all the result in the first element. Instead it should dump array of char pointers with right offset, use the address instead of the value of the C variable while reading the array and treat such variable as char **, instead of char * for pointer arithmetic.

Commit fad153ec modified sinval.c to reduce the number of calls into sinvaladt.c (which require taking a shared lock) by keeping a local buffer of collected-but-not-yet-processed messages. However, if processing of the last message in a batch resulted in a recursive call to ReceiveSharedInvalidMessages, we could overwrite that message with a new one while the outer invalidation function was still working on it. This would be likely to lead to invalidation of the wrong cache entry, allowing subsequent processing to use stale cache data. The fix is just to make a local copy of each message while we're processing it. Spotted by Andres Freund. Back-patch to 8.4 where the bug was introduced.

Commit 261c7d4b removed the "m" field from struct LINE, but neglected to make pg_type.h's idea of the type's size match. This resulted in reading past the end of palloc'd LINE values when inserting them into tuples etc. In principle that could cause a SIGSEGV, though the odds of detectable problems seem low. Bump catversion since this makes an incompatible on-disk format change. Note that if the line type had been in use in the field, this would break pg_upgrade'ability of databases containing line values; but it seems unlikely that there are any (they'd have had to be compiled with -DENABLE_LINE_TYPE). Spotted by Andres Freund.

This was accidentally broken in commits cfa1b4a7/5e8e794e. It saves a line or so to call ftello unconditionally in _CloseArchive, but we have to expect that it might fail if we're not in hasSeek mode. Per report from Bernd Helmle. In passing, improve _getFilePos to print an appropriate message if ftello fails unexpectedly, rather than just a vague complaint about "ftell mismatch".

If they were not 'oldtup.t_data' would be dereferenced while set to NULL in case of a full page image for block 0. Do so primarily to silence coverity; but also to make sure this prerequisite isn't changed without adapting the replay routine as that would appear to work in many cases. Andres Freund

It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the callers. We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable, but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted. Reviewed by Amit Kapila and Tom Lane

ruleutils.c tries to cope with additions/deletions/renamings of columns in tables referenced by views, by means of adding machine-generated aliases to the printed form of a view when needed to preserve the original semantics. A recent blog post by Marko Tiikkaja pointed out a case I'd missed though: if one input of a join with USING is itself a join, there is nothing to stop the user from adding a column of the same name as the USING column to whichever side of the sub-join didn't provide the USING column. And then there'll be an error when the view is re-parsed, since now the sub-join exposes two columns matching the USING specification. We were catching a lot of related cases, but not this one, so add some logic to cope with it. Back-patch to 9.3, which is the first release that makes any serious attempt to cope with such cases (cf commit 2ffa740b and follow-ons).

This test used to just define an unused static inline function and check whether that causes a warning. But newer clang versions warn about unused static inline functions when defined inside a .c file, but not when defined in an included header, which is the case we care about. Change the test to cope.

If we have an array of records stored on disk, the individual record fields cannot contain out-of-line TOAST pointers: the tuptoaster.c mechanisms are only prepared to deal with TOAST pointers appearing in top-level fields of a stored row. The same applies for ranges over composite types, nested composites, etc. However, the existing code only took care of expanding sub-field TOAST pointers for the case of nested composites, not for other structured types containing composites. For example, given a command such as UPDATE tab SET arraycol = ARRAY[(ROW(x,42)::mycompositetype] ... where x is a direct reference to a field of an on-disk tuple, if that field is long enough to be toasted out-of-line then the TOAST pointer would be inserted as-is into the array column. If the source record for x is later deleted, the array field value would become a dangling pointer, leading to errors along the line of "missing chunk number 0 for toast value ..." when the value is referenced. A reproducible test case for this was provided by Jan Pecek, but it seems likely that some of the "missing chunk number" reports we've heard in the past were caused by similar issues. Code-wise, the problem is that PG_DETOAST_DATUM() is not adequate to produce a self-contained Datum value if the Datum is of composite type. Seen in this light, the problem is not just confined to arrays and ranges, but could also affect some other places where detoasting is done in that way, for example form_index_tuple(). I tried teaching the array code to apply toast_flatten_tuple_attribute() along with PG_DETOAST_DATUM() when the array element type is composite, but this was messy and imposed extra cache lookup costs whether or not any TOAST pointers were present, indeed sometimes when the array element type isn't even composite (since sometimes it takes a typcache lookup to find that out). The idea of extending that approach to all the places that currently use PG_DETOAST_DATUM() wasn't attractive at all. This patch instead solves the problem by decreeing that composite Datum values must not contain any out-of-line TOAST pointers in the first place; that is, we expand out-of-line fields at the point of constructing a composite Datum, not at the point where we're about to insert it into a larger tuple. This rule is applied only to true composite Datums, not to tuples that are being passed around the system as tuples, so it's not as invasive as it might sound at first. With this approach, the amount of code that has to be touched for a full solution is greatly reduced, and added cache lookup costs are avoided except when there actually is a TOAST pointer that needs to be inlined. The main drawback of this approach is that we might sometimes dereference a TOAST pointer that will never actually be used by the query, imposing a rather large cost that wasn't there before. On the other side of the coin, if the field value is used multiple times then we'll come out ahead by avoiding repeat detoastings. Experimentation suggests that common SQL coding patterns are unaffected either way, though. Applications that are very negatively affected could be advised to modify their code to not fetch columns they won't be using. In future, we might consider reverting this solution in favor of detoasting only at the point where data is about to be stored to disk, using some method that can drill down into multiple levels of nested structured types. That will require defining new APIs for structured types, though, so it doesn't seem feasible as a back-patchable fix. Note that this patch changes HeapTupleGetDatum() from a macro to a function call; this means that any third-party code using that macro will not get protection against creating TOAST-pointer-containing Datums until it's recompiled. The same applies to any uses of PG_RETURN_HEAPTUPLEHEADER(). It seems likely that this is not a big problem in practice: most of the tuple-returning functions in core and contrib produce outputs that could not possibly be toasted anyway, and the same probably holds for third-party extensions. This bug has existed since TOAST was invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Commit a7301839 created rather a mess by putting dependencies on backend-only include files into include/common. We really shouldn't do that. To clean it up: * Move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY back to its longtime home in catalog/catalog.h. We won't consider this symbol part of the FE/BE API. * Push enum ForkNumber from relfilenode.h into relpath.h. We'll consider relpath.h as the source of truth for fork numbers, since relpath.c was already partially serving that function, and anyway relfilenode.h was kind of a random place for that enum. * So, relfilenode.h now includes relpath.h rather than vice-versa. This direction of dependency is fine. (That allows most, but not quite all, of the existing explicit #includes of relpath.h to go away again.) * Push forkname_to_number from catalog.c to relpath.c, just to centralize fork number stuff a bit better. * Push GetDatabasePath from catalog.c to relpath.c; it was rather odd that the previous commit didn't keep this together with relpath(). * To avoid needing relfilenode.h in common/, redefine the underlying function (now called GetRelationPath) as taking separate OID arguments, and make the APIs using RelFileNode or RelFileNodeBackend into macro wrappers. (The macros have a potential multiple-eval risk, but none of the existing call sites have an issue with that; one of them had such a risk already anyway.) * Fix failure to follow the directions when "init" fork type was added; specifically, the errhint in forkname_to_number wasn't updated, and neither was the SGML documentation for pg_relation_size(). * Fix tablespace-path-too-long check in CreateTableSpace() to account for fork-name component of maximum-length pathnames. This requires putting FORKNAMECHARS into a header file, but it was rather useless (and actually unreferenced) where it was. The last couple of items are potentially back-patchable bug fixes, if anyone is sufficiently excited about them; but personally I'm not. Per a gripe from Christoph Berg about how include/common wasn't self-contained.

Since ruleutils.c recurses, it could be driven to stack overflow by deeply nested constructs. Very large queries might also take long enough to deparse that a check for interrupts seems like a good idea. Stick appropriate tests into a couple of key places. Noted by Greg Stark. Back-patch to all supported branches.

A query such as "SELECT x UNION SELECT y UNION SELECT z UNION ..." produces a left-deep nested parse tree, which we formerly showed in its full nested glory and with all the possible parentheses. This does little for readability, though, and long UNION lists resulting in excessive indentation are common. Instead, let's omit parentheses and indent all the subqueries at the same level in such cases. This patch skips indentation/parenthesization whenever the lefthand input of a SetOperationStmt is another SetOperationStmt of the same kind and ALL/DISTINCT property. We could teach the code the exact syntactic precedence of set operations and thereby avoid parenthesization in some more cases, but it's not clear that that'd be a readability win: it seems better to parenthesize if the set operation changes. (As an example, if there's one UNION in a long list of UNION ALL, it now stands out like a sore thumb, which seems like a good thing.) Back-patch to 9.3. This completes our response to a complaint from Greg Stark that since commit 62e66640 there's a performance problem in pg_dump for views containing long UNION sequences (or other types of deeply nested constructs). The previous commit 0601cb54 handles the general problem, but this one makes the specific case of UNION lists look a lot nicer.

Continuing to indent no matter how deeply nested we get doesn't really do anything for readability; what's worse, it results in O(N^2) total whitespace, which can become a performance and memory-consumption issue. To address this, once we get past 40 characters of indentation, reduce the indentation step distance 4x, and also limit the maximum indentation by reducing it modulo 40. This latter choice is a bit weird at first glance, but it seems to preserve readability better than a simple cap would do. Back-patch to 9.3, because since commit 62e66640 the performance issue is a hazard for pg_dump. Greg Stark and Tom Lane

The code attempted to outdent JOIN clauses further left than the parent FROM keyword, which was odd in any case, and led to inconsistent formatting since in simple cases the clauses couldn't be moved any further left than that. And it left a permanent decrement of the indentation level, causing subsequent lines to be much further left than they should be (again, this couldn't be seen in simple cases for lack of indentation to give up). After a little experimentation I chose to make it indent JOIN keywords two spaces from the parent FROM, which is one space more than the join's lefthand input in cases where that appears on a different line from FROM. Back-patch to 9.3. This is a purely cosmetic change, and the bug is quite old, so that may seem arbitrary; but we are going to be making some other changes to the indentation behavior in both HEAD and 9.3, so it seems reasonable to include this in 9.3 too. I committed this one first because its effects are more visible in the regression test results as they currently stand than they will be later.
