This module becomes much more useful if we allow it to be used as base class for external projects. To achieve this, change the exported get_new_node function into a class method instead, and use the standard Perl idiom of accepting the class as first argument. This method works as expected for subclasses. The standalone function is kept for backwards compatibility, though it could be removed in pg11. Author: Chap Flackman, based on an earlier patch from Craig Ringer Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMsr+YF8kO+4+K-_U4PtN==2FndJ+5Bn6A19XHhMiBykEwv0wA@mail.gmail.com

It is relatively easy to get a replication slot to look as still active while one process is in the process of getting rid of it; when some other process tries to "acquire" the slot, it would fail with an error message of "replication slot XYZ is active for PID N". The error message in itself is fine, except that when the intention is to drop the slot, it is unhelpful: the useful behavior would be to wait until the slot is no longer acquired, so that the drop can proceed. To implement this, we use a condition variable so that slot acquisition can be told to wait on that condition variable if the slot is already acquired, and we make any change in active_pid broadcast a signal on the condition variable. Thus, as soon as the slot is released, the drop will proceed properly. Reported by: Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/11904.1499039688@sss.pgh.pa.us Authors: Petr Jelínek, Álvaro Herrera

In various places where we reverse-map a tuple before calling ExecBuildSlotValueDescription, we neglected to ensure that the slot descriptor matched the tuple stored in it.

Trading a little too heavily on letting the code path be the same whether we were creating shared data structures or only attaching to them, InitPredicateLocks() inserted the "scratch" PredicateLockTargetHash entry unconditionally. This is just wrong if we're in a postmaster child, which would only reach this code in EXEC_BACKEND builds. Most of the time, the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call would simply report that the entry already existed, causing no visible effect since the code did not bother to check for that possibility. However, if this happened while some other backend had transiently removed the "scratch" entry, then that other backend's eventual RestoreScratchTarget would suffer an assert failure; this appears to be the explanation for a recent failure on buildfarm member culicidae. In non-assert builds, there would be no visible consequences there either. But nonetheless this is a pretty bad bug for EXEC_BACKEND builds, for two reasons: 1. Each new backend would perform the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call without holding any lock that would prevent concurrent access to the PredicateLockTargetHash hash table. This creates a low but certainly nonzero risk of corruption of that hash table. 2. In the event that the race condition occurred, by reinserting the scratch entry too soon, we were defeating the entire purpose of the scratch entry, namely to guarantee that transaction commit could move hash table entries around with no risk of out-of-memory failure. The odds of an actual OOM failure are quite low, but not zero, and if it did happen it would again result in corruption of the hash table. The user-visible symptoms of such corruption are a little hard to predict, but would presumably amount to misbehavior of SERIALIZABLE transactions that'd require a crash or postmaster restart to fix. To fix, just skip the hash insertion if IsUnderPostmaster. I also inserted a bunch of assertions that the expected things happen depending on whether IsUnderPostmaster is true. That might be overkill, since most comparable code in other functions isn't quite that paranoid, but once burnt twice shy. In passing, also move a couple of lines to places where they seemed to make more sense. Diagnosis of problem by Thomas Munro, patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

If the user modifies a view that has CHECK OPTIONs and this gets translated into a modification to an underlying relation which happens to be a foreign table, the check options should be enforced. In the normal code path, that was happening properly, but it was not working properly for "direct" modification because the whole operation gets pushed to the remote side in that case and we never have an option to enforce the constraint against individual tuples. Fix by disabling direct modification when there is a need to enforce CHECK OPTIONs. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and by me.

Various cases involving renaming of view columns are handled by having make_viewdef pass down the view's current relation tupledesc to get_query_def, which then takes care to use the column names from the tupledesc for the output column names of the SELECT. For some reason though, we'd missed teaching make_ruledef to do similarly when it is printing an ON SELECT rule, even though this is exactly the same case. The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong. In particular, this breaks pre-v10 versions of pg_dump, which in some situations would define views by means of emitting a CREATE RULE ... ON SELECT command. Third-party tools might not be happy either. In passing, clean up some crufty code in make_viewdef; we'd apparently modernized the equivalent code in make_ruledef somewhere along the way, and missed this copy. Per report from Gilles Darold. Back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ec05659a-40ff-4510-fc45-ca9d965d0838@dalibo.com

Add error checks in some places that were calling get_opfamily_member or get_opfamily_proc and just assuming that the call could never fail. Also, standardize the wording for such errors in some other places. None of these errors are expected in normal use, hence they're just elog not ereport. But they may be handy for diagnosing omissions in custom opclasses. Rushabh Lathia found the oversight in RelationBuildPartitionKey(); I found the others by grepping for all callers of these functions.

pg_dump with the --clean option failed to emit DROP EVENT TRIGGER commands for event triggers. In a closely related oversight, it also did not emit ALTER OWNER commands for event triggers. Since only superusers can create event triggers, the latter oversight is of little practical consequence ... but if we're going to record an owner for event triggers, then surely pg_dump should preserve it. Per complaint from Greg Atkins. Back-patch to 9.3 where event triggers were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170722191142.yi4e7tzcg3iacclg@gmail.com

I believe this changed as a consequence of commit 54baa481: trying to clone the "C" collation now produces a true clone with collencoding -1, hence the error message if it's duplicate no longer specifies an encoding.

When incrementally updating a file larger than 2GB, the old code could either fail outright (if the client asked the server for bytes beyond the 2GB boundary) or fail to copy all the blocks that had actually been modified (if the server reported a file size to the client in excess of 2GB), resulting in data corruption. Generally, such files won't occur anyway, but they might if using a non-default segment size or if there the directory contains stray files unrelated to PostgreSQL. Fix by a more prudent choice of data types. Even with these improvements, this code still uses a mix of different types (off_t, size_t, uint64, int64) to represent file sizes and offsets, not all of which necessarily have the same width or signedness, so further cleanup might be in order here. However, at least now they all have the potential to be 64 bits wide on 64-bit platforms. Kuntal Ghosh and Michael Paquier, with a tweak by me.

The new test cases added in commit 8bf58c0d turn out to have output that can vary depending on the lc_messages setting prevailing on the test server. Hide the remote end's error messages to ensure stable output. This isn't a terribly desirable solution; we'd rather know that the connection failed for the expected reason and not some other one. But there seems little choice for the moment. Per buildfarm. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18419.1500658570@sss.pgh.pa.us

Previously, postgres_fdw would keep on using an existing connection even if the user did ALTER SERVER or ALTER USER MAPPING commands that should affect connection parameters.

Previously, UNBOUNDED meant no lower bound when used in the FROM list, and no upper bound when used in the TO list, which was OK for single-column range partitioning, but problematic with multiple columns. For example, an upper bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED) would not be collocated with a lower bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED), thus making it difficult or impossible to define contiguous multi-column range partitions in some cases. Fix this by using MINVALUE and MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED to represent a partition column that is unbounded below or above respectively. This syntax removes any ambiguity, and ensures that if one partition's lower bound equals another partition's upper bound, then the partitions are contiguous. Also drop the constraint prohibiting finite values after an unbounded column, and just document the fact that any values after MINVALUE or MAXVALUE are ignored. Previously it was necessary to repeat UNBOUNDED multiple times, which was needlessly verbose. Note: Forces a post-PG 10 beta2 initdb. Report by Amul Sul, original patch by Amit Langote with some additional hacking by me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAAJ_b947mowpLdxL3jo3YLKngRjrq9+Ej4ymduQTfYR+8=YAYQ@mail.gmail.com

Claiming that NATURAL JOIN is equivalent to CROSS JOIN when there are no common column names is only strictly correct if it's an inner join; you can't say e.g. CROSS LEFT JOIN.

Normally, a JoinExpr would have empty "quals" only if it came from CROSS JOIN syntax. However, it's possible to get to this state by specifying NATURAL JOIN between two tables with no common column names, and there might be other ways too. The code previously printed no ON clause if "quals" was empty; that's right for CROSS JOIN but syntactically invalid if it's some type of outer join. Fix by printing ON TRUE in that case. This got broken by commit 2ffa740b, which stopped using NATURAL JOIN syntax in ruleutils output due to its brittleness in the face of column renamings. Back-patch to 9.3 where that commit appeared. Per report from Tushar Ahuja. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/98b283cd-6dda-5d3f-f8ac-87db8c76a3da@enterprisedb.com

When pg_control was first designed, sizeof(ControlFileData) was small enough that a comment seemed like plenty to document the assumption that it'd fit into one disk sector. Now it's nearly 300 bytes, raising the possibility that somebody would carelessly add enough stuff to create a problem. Let's add a StaticAssertStmt() to ensure that the situation doesn't pass unnoticed if it ever occurs. While at it, rename PG_CONTROL_SIZE to PG_CONTROL_FILE_SIZE to make it clearer what that symbol means, and convert the existing runtime comparisons of sizeof(ControlFileData) vs. PG_CONTROL_FILE_SIZE to be static asserts --- we didn't have that technology when this code was first written.

It seemed a bit silly that each caller of make_tsvector() was laboriously special-casing the situation where no lexemes were found, when it would be easy and much more bullet-proof to make make_tsvector() handle that.
-
Tom Lane authored
In an off-list followup to bug #14745, Bob Jones complained that to_tsvector() on a 2MB jsonb value took an unreasonable amount of time and space --- enough to draw the wrath of the OOM killer on his machine. On my machine, his example proved to require upwards of 18 seconds and 4GB, which seemed pretty bogus considering that to_tsvector() on the same data treated as text took just a couple hundred msec and 10 or so MB. On investigation, the problem is that the implementation scans each string element of the json(b) and converts it to tsvector separately, then applies tsvector_concat() to join those separate tsvectors. The unreasonable memory usage came from leaking every single one of the transient tsvectors --- but even without that mistake, this is an O(N^2) or worse algorithm, because tsvector_concat() has to repeatedly process the words coming from earlier elements. We can fix it by accumulating all the lexeme data and applying make_tsvector() just once. As a side benefit, that also makes the desired adjustment of lexeme positions far cheaper, because we can just tweak the running "pos" counter between JSON elements. In passing, try to make the explanation of that tweak more intelligible. (I didn't think that a barely-readable comment far removed from the actual code was helpful.) And do some minor other code beautification.

It seems pretty confusing to have tests named both largeobject and large_object. The latter is of very recent vintage (commit ff992c07), so get rid of it in favor of merging into the former. Also, enable the LO comment test that was added by commit 70ad7ed4, since the later commit added the then-missing pg_upgrade functionality. The large_object.sql test case is almost completely redundant with that, but not quite: it seems like creating a user-defined LO with an OID in the system range might be an interesting case for pg_upgrade, so let's keep it.

One, logging for CREATE INDEX was oblivious to the fact that when an unlogged table is created, *only* operations on the init fork should be logged. Two, init fork buffers need to be flushed after they are written; otherwise, a filesystem-level copy following recovery may do the wrong thing. (There may be a better fix for this issue than the one used here, but this is transposed from the similar logic already present in XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended, and a broader refactoring after beta2 seems inadvisable.)

Given this code's general eagerness to use subexpressions' output variables as temporary workspace, it's not exactly clear that it is safe for FieldStore to tell a newval subexpression that it can write into the same variable that is being supplied as a potential input.
