      Fix ruleutils to cope with conflicts from adding/dropping/renaming columns. · 2ffa740b
      Tom Lane authored
      In commit 11e13185, we improved the
      rule/view dumping code so that it would produce valid query representations
      even if some of the tables involved in a query had been renamed since the
      query was parsed.  This patch extends that idea to fix problems that occur
      when individual columns are renamed, or added or dropped.  As before, the
      core of the fix is to assign unique new aliases when a name conflict has
      been created.  This is complicated by the JOIN USING feature, which
      requires the same column alias to be used in both input relations, but we
      can handle that with a sufficiently complex approach to assigning aliases.
      
      A fortiori, this patch takes care of situations where the query didn't have
      unique column names to begin with, such as in a recent complaint from Bryan
      Nuse.  (Because of expansion of "SELECT *", re-parsing a dumped query can
      require column name uniqueness even though the original text did not.)

      Keep timeline history files restored from archive in pg_xlog. · 60df192a
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      The cascading standby patch in 9.2 changed the way WAL files are treated
      when restored from the archive. Before, they were restored under a temporary
      filename, and not kept in pg_xlog, but after the patch, they were copied
      under pg_xlog. This is necessary for a cascading standby to find them, but
      it also means that if the archive goes offline and a standby is restarted,
      it can recover back to where it was using the files in pg_xlog. It also
      means that if you take an offline backup from a standby server, it includes
      all the required WAL files in pg_xlog.
      
      However, the same change was not made to timeline history files, so if the
      WAL segment containing the checkpoint record contains a timeline switch, you
      will still get an error if you try to restart recovery without the archive,
      or recover from an offline backup taken from the standby.
      
      With this patch, timeline history files restored from archive are copied
      into pg_xlog like WAL files are, so that pg_xlog contains all the files
      required to recover. This is a corner-case pre-existing issue in 9.2, but
      even more important in master where it's possible for a standby to follow a
      timeline switch through streaming replication. To make that possible, the
      timeline history files must be present in pg_xlog.

      Adjust more backend functions to return OID rather than void. · 82b1b213
      Robert Haas authored
      This is again intended to support extensions to the event trigger
      functionality.  This may go a bit further than we need for that
      purpose, but there's some value in being consistent, and the OID
      may be useful for other purposes also.

      Remove obsolete XLogRecPtr macros · 5ab3af46
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      This gets rid of XLByteLT, XLByteLE, XLByteEQ and XLByteAdvance.
      These were useful for brevity when XLogRecPtrs were split in
      xlogid/xrecoff; but now that they are simple uint64's, they are just
      clutter.  The only downside to making this change would be ease of
      backporting patches, but that has been negated by other substantive
      changes to the involved code anyway.  The clarity of simpler expressions
      makes the change worthwhile.
      
      Most of the changes are mechanical, but in a couple of places, the patch
      author chose to invert the operator sense, making the code flow more
      logical (and more in line with preceding comments).

      Prevent failure when RowExpr or XmlExpr is parse-analyzed twice. · 31bc8397
      Tom Lane authored
      transformExpr() is required to cope with already-transformed expression
      trees, for various ugly-but-not-quite-worth-cleaning-up reasons.  However,
      some of its newer subroutines hadn't gotten the memo.  This accounts for
      bug #7763 from Norbert Buchmuller: transformRowExpr() was overwriting the
      previously determined type of a RowExpr during CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING
      INDEXES.  Additional investigation showed that transformXmlExpr had the
      same kind of problem, but all the other cases seem to be safe.

      Fix pg_extension_config_dump() to handle update cases more sanely. · 343c2a86
      Tom Lane authored
      If pg_extension_config_dump() is executed again for a table already listed
      in the extension's extconfig, the code was blindly making a new array entry.
      This does not seem useful.  Fix it to replace the existing array entry
      instead, so that it's possible for extension update scripts to alter the
      filter conditions for configuration tables.
      
      In addition, teach ALTER EXTENSION DROP TABLE to check for an extconfig
      entry for the target table, and remove it if present.  This is not a 100%
      solution because it's allowed for an extension update script to just
      summarily DROP a member table, and that code path doesn't go through
      ExecAlterExtensionContentsStmt.  We could probably make that case clean
      things up if we had to, but it would involve sticking a very ugly wart
      somewhere in the guts of dependency.c.  Since on the whole it seems quite
      unlikely that extension updates would want to remove pre-existing
      configuration tables, making the case possible with an explicit command
      seems sufficient.
      
      Per bug #7756 from Regina Obe.  Back-patch to 9.1 where extensions were
      introduced.

      Fix recycling of WAL segments after switching timeline during recovery. · 343ee00b
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      This was broken before, we would recycle old WAL segments on wrong timeline
      after the recovery target timeline had changed, but my recent commit to
      not initialize ThisTimeLineID at all in a standby's checkpointer process
      broke this completely.
      
      The problem is that when installing a recycled WAL segment as a future one,
      ThisTimeLineID is used to construct the filename. To fix, always update
      ThisTimeLineID to the current timeline being recovered, before recycling
      WAL segments at a restartpoint.
      
      This still leaves a small window where we might install WAL segments under
      wrong timeline ID, if the timeline is changed just as we're about to start
      recycling. Also, even if we're replaying timeline X at the momnent, there's
      no guarantee that we'll need as many WAL segments on that timeline as we
      recycle. We might be just about to reach the point where we switch to next
      timeline, so might only need one more WAL segment on the current timeline.
      We'll live with the waste in that situation.
      
      Bug pointed out by Fujii Masao. 9.1 and 9.2 had the same issue, when
      recovery target timeline was changed, but I committed a slightly different
      version of this patch on those branches.

      Follow TLI of last replayed record, not recovery target TLI, in walsenders. · af275a12
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      Most of the time, the last replayed record comes from the recovery target
      timeline, but there is a corner case where it makes a difference. When
      the startup process scans for a new timeline, and decides to change recovery
      target timeline, there is a window where the recovery target TLI has already
      been bumped, but there are no WAL segments from the new timeline in pg_xlog
      yet. For example, if we have just replayed up to point 0/30002D8, on
      timeline 1, there is a WAL file called 000000010000000000000003 in pg_xlog
      that contains the WAL up to that point. When recovery switches recovery
      target timeline to 2, a walsender can immediately try to read WAL from
      0/30002D8, from timeline 2, so it will try to open WAL file
      000000020000000000000003. However, that doesn't exist yet - the startup
      process hasn't copied that file from the archive yet nor has the walreceiver
      streamed it yet, so walsender fails with error "requested WAL segment
      000000020000000000000003 has already been removed". That's harmless, in that
      the standby will try to reconnect later and by that time the segment is
      already created, but error messages that should be ignored are not good.
      
      To fix that, have walsender track the TLI of the last replayed record,
      instead of the recovery target timeline. That way walsender will not try to
      read anything from timeline 2, until the WAL segment has been created and at
      least one record has been replayed from it. The recovery target timeline is
      now xlog.c's internal affair, it doesn't need to be exposed in shared memory
      anymore.
      
      This fixes the error reported by Thom Brown. depesz the same error message,
      but I'm not sure if this fixes his scenario.

      Don't set ThisTimeLineID in checkpointer & bgwriter during recovery. · 1a11d460
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      We used to set it to the current recovery target timeline, but the recovery
      target timeline can change during recovery, leaving ThisTimeLineID at an
      old value. That seems worse than always leaving it at zero to begin with.
      
      AFAICS there was no good reason to set it in the first place. ThisTimeLineID
      is not needed in checkpointer or bgwriter process, until it's time to write
      the end-of-recovery checkpoint, and at that point ThisTimeLineID is updated
      anyway.

      Ignore libedit/libreadline while probing for standard functions. · 2666a6d0
      Tom Lane authored
      Some versions of libedit expose bogus definitions of setproctitle(),
      optreset, and perhaps other symbols that we don't want configure to pick up
      on.  There was a previous report of similar problems with strlcpy(), which
      we addressed in commit 59cf88da, but the
      problem has evidently grown in scope since then.  In hopes of not having to
      deal with it again in future, rearrange configure's tests for supplied
      functions so that we ignore libedit/libreadline except when probing
      specifically for functions we expect them to provide.
      
      Per report from Christoph Berg, though this is slightly more aggressive
      than his proposed patch.

      Fix failure to ignore leftover temp tables after a server crash. · 6919b7e3
      Tom Lane authored
      During crash recovery, we remove disk files belonging to temporary tables,
      but the system catalog entries for such tables are intentionally not
      cleaned up right away.  Instead, the first backend that uses a temp schema
      is expected to clean out any leftover objects therein.  This approach
      requires that we be careful to ignore leftover temp tables (since any
      actual access attempt would fail), *even if their BackendId matches our
      session*, if we have not yet established use of the session's corresponding
      temp schema.  That worked fine in the past, but was broken by commit
      debcec7d which incorrectly removed the
      rd_islocaltemp relcache flag.  Put it back, and undo various changes
      that substituted tests like "rel->rd_backend == MyBackendId" for use
      of a state-aware flag.  Per trouble report from Heikki Linnakangas.
      
      Back-patch to 9.1 where the erroneous change was made.  In the back
      branches, be careful to add rd_islocaltemp in a spot in the struct that
      was alignment padding before, so as not to break existing add-on code.

      Fix filling of postmaster.pid in bootstrap/standalone mode. · c2994772
      Tom Lane authored
      We failed to ever fill the sixth line (LISTEN_ADDR), which caused the
      attempt to fill the seventh line (SHMEM_KEY) to fail, so that the shared
      memory key never got added to the file in standalone mode.  This has been
      broken since we added more content to our lock files in 9.1.
      
      To fix, tweak the logic in CreateLockFile to add an empty LISTEN_ADDR
      line in standalone mode.  This is a tad grotty, but since that function
      already knows almost everything there is to know about the contents of
      lock files, it doesn't seem that it's any better to hack it elsewhere.
      
      It's not clear how significant this bug really is, since a standalone
      backend should never have any children and thus it seems not critical
      to be able to check the nattch count of the shmem segment externally.
      But I'm going to back-patch the fix anyway.
      
      This problem had escaped notice because of an ancient (and in hindsight
      pretty dubious) decision to suppress LOG-level messages by default in
      standalone mode; so that the elog(LOG) complaint in AddToDataDirLockFile
      that should have warned of the problem didn't do anything.  Fixing that
      is material for a separate patch though.
