      In pg_dump, show server and pg_dump versions with or without --verbose. · 7700597b
      Tom Lane authored
      We used to print this information only in verbose mode, but it's argued
      that it's useful enough to print always; one reason being that this
      provides some documentation about which Postgres versions the dump is
      meant to reload into.

      pg_upgrade: allow upgrades for new-only TOAST tables · 3088cc37
      Bruce Momjian authored
      Previously, when calculations on the need for toast tables changed,
      pg_upgrade could not handle cases where the new cluster needed a TOAST
      table and the old cluster did not.  (It already handled the opposite
      case.)  This fixes the "OID mismatch" error typically generated in this
      case.

      Remove swpb-based spinlock implementation for ARMv5 and earlier. · 4893ccd0
      Robert Haas authored
      Per recent analysis by Andres Freund, this implementation is in fact
      unsafe, because ARMv5 has weak memory ordering, which means tha the
      CPU could move loads or stores across the volatile store performed by
      the default S_UNLOCK.  We could try to fix this, but have no ARMv5
      hardware to test on, so removing support seems better.  We can still
      support ARMv5 systems on GCC versions new enough to have built-in
      atomics support for this platform, and can also re-add support for
      the old way if someone has hardware that can be used to test a fix.
      However, since the requirement to use a relatively-new GCC hasn't
      been an issue for ARMv6 or ARMv7, which lack the swpb instruction
      altogether, perhaps it won't be an issue for ARMv5 either.

      Fix decoding of MULTI_INSERTs when rows other than the last are toasted. · 1b86c81d
      Andres Freund authored
      When decoding the results of a HEAP2_MULTI_INSERT (currently only
      generated by COPY FROM) toast columns for all but the last tuple
      weren't replaced by their actual contents before being handed to the
      output plugin. The reassembled toast datums where disregarded after
      every REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_(INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE) which is correct
      for plain inserts, updates, deletes, but not multi inserts - there we
      generate several REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_INSERTs for a single
      xl_heap_multi_insert record.
      
      To solve the problem add a clear_toast_afterwards boolean to
      ReorderBufferChange's union member that's used by modifications. All
      row changes but multi_inserts always set that to true, but
      multi_insert sets it only for the last change generated.
      
      Add a regression test covering decoding of multi_inserts - there was
      none at all before.
      
      Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

      Don't cache per-group context across the whole query in orderedsetaggs.c. · ecd65797
      Tom Lane authored
      Although nodeAgg.c currently uses the same per-group memory context for
      all groups of a query, that might change in future.  Avoid assuming it.
      This costs us an extra AggCheckCallContext() call per group, but that's
      pretty cheap and is probably good from a safety standpoint anyway.
      
      Back-patch to 9.4 in case any third-party code copies this logic.

      Redesign API presented by nodeAgg.c for ordered-set and similar aggregates. · 6f5034ed
      Tom Lane authored
      The previous design exposed the input and output ExprContexts of the
      Agg plan node, but work on grouping sets has suggested that we'll regret
      doing that.  Instead provide more narrowly-defined APIs that can be
      implemented in multiple ways, namely a way to get a short-term memory
      context and a way to register an aggregate shutdown callback.
      
      Back-patch to 9.4 where the bad APIs were introduced, since we don't
      want third-party code using these APIs and then having to change in 9.5.

      Improve support for composite types in PL/Python. · 8b6010b8
      Tom Lane authored
      Allow PL/Python functions to return arrays of composite types.
      Also, fix the restriction that plpy.prepare/plpy.execute couldn't
      handle query parameters or result columns of composite types.
      
      In passing, adopt a saner arrangement for where to release the
      tupledesc reference counts acquired via lookup_rowtype_tupdesc.
      The callers of PLyObject_ToCompositeDatum were doing the lookups,
      but then the releases happened somewhere down inside subroutines
      of PLyObject_ToCompositeDatum, which is bizarre and bug-prone.
      Instead release in the same function that acquires the refcount.

      Smooth reporting of commit/rollback statistics. · ac46de56
      Kevin Grittner authored
      If a connection committed or rolled back any transactions within a
      PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL pacing interval without accessing any tables,
      the reporting of those statistics would be held up until the
      connection closed or until it ended a PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL interval
      in which it had accessed a table.  This could result in under-
      reporting of transactions for an extended period, followed by a
      spike in reported transactions.
      
      While this is arguably a bug, the impact is minimal, primarily
      affecting, and being affected by, monitoring software.  It might
      cause more confusion than benefit to change the existing behavior
      in released stable branches, so apply only to master and the 9.4
      beta.

      Rename logical decoding's pg_llog directory to pg_logical. · a36a8fa3
      Andres Freund authored
      The old name wasn't very descriptive as of actual contents of the
      directory, which are historical snapshots in the snapshots/
      subdirectory and mappingdata for rewritten tuples in
      mappings/. There's been a fair amount of discussion what would be a
      good name. I'm settling for pg_logical because it's likely that
      further data around logical decoding and replication will need saving
      in the future.
      
      Also add the missing entry for the directory into storage.sgml's list
      of PGDATA contents.

      Add some errdetail to checkRuleResultList(). · 7980ab30
      Tom Lane authored
      This function wasn't originally thought to be really user-facing,
      because converting a table to a view isn't something we expect people
      to do manually.  So not all that much effort was spent on the error
      messages; in particular, while the code will complain that you got
      the column types wrong it won't say exactly what they are.  But since
      we repurposed the code to also check compatibility of rule RETURNING
      lists, it's definitely user-facing.  It now seems worthwhile to add
      errdetail messages showing exactly what the conflict is when there's
      a mismatch of column names or types.  This is prompted by bug #10836
      from Matthias Raffelsieper, which might have been forestalled if the
      error message had reported the wrong column type as being "record".
      
      Back-patch to 9.4, but not into older branches where the set of
      translatable error strings is supposed to be stable.

      Prevent psql from issuing BEGIN before ALTER SYSTEM when AUTOCOMMIT is off. · d97e98e8
      Fujii Masao authored
      The autocommit-off mode works by issuing an implicit BEGIN just before
      any command that is not already in a transaction block and is not itself
      a BEGIN or other transaction-control command, nor a command that
      cannot be executed inside a transaction block. This commit prevents psql
      from issuing such an implicit BEGIN before ALTER SYSTEM because it's
      not allowed inside a transaction block.
      
      Backpatch to 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM was added.

      Allow CREATE/ALTER DATABASE to manipulate datistemplate and datallowconn. · fbb1d7d7
      Tom Lane authored
      Historically these database properties could be manipulated only by
      manually updating pg_database, which is error-prone and only possible for
      superusers.  But there seems no good reason not to allow database owners to
      set them for their databases, so invent CREATE/ALTER DATABASE options to do
      that.  Adjust a couple of places that were doing it the hard way to use the
      commands instead.

      Refactor CREATE/ALTER DATABASE syntax so options need not be keywords. · 15c82efd
      Tom Lane authored
      Most of the existing option names are keywords anyway, but we can get rid
      of LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE as keywords known to the lexer/grammar.  This
      immediately reduces the size of the grammar tables by about 8KB, and will
      save more when we add additional CREATE/ALTER DATABASE options in future.
      
      A side effect of the implementation is that the CONNECTION LIMIT option
      can now also be spelled CONNECTION_LIMIT.  We choose not to document this,
      however.

      Remove some useless code in the configure script. · 2e8ce9ae
      Tom Lane authored
      Almost ten years ago, commit e48322a6 broke
      the logic in ACX_PTHREAD by looping through all the possible flags rather
      than stopping with the first one that would work.  This meant that
      $acx_pthread_ok was no longer meaningful after the loop; it would usually
      be "no", whether or not we'd found working thread flags.  The reason nobody
      noticed is that Postgres doesn't actually use any of the symbols set up
      by the code after the loop.  Rather than complicate things some more to
      make it work as designed, let's just remove all that dead code, and thereby
      save a few cycles in each configure run.

      Fix inadequately-sized output buffer in contrib/unaccent. · 5a421a47
      Tom Lane authored
      The output buffer size in unaccent_lexize() was calculated as input string
      length times pg_database_encoding_max_length(), which effectively assumes
      that replacement strings aren't more than one character.  While that was
      all that we previously documented it to support, the code actually has
      always allowed replacement strings of arbitrary length; so if you tried
      to make use of longer strings, you were at risk of buffer overrun.  To fix,
      use an expansible StringInfo buffer instead of trying to determine the
      maximum space needed a-priori.
      
      This would be a security issue if unaccent rules files could be installed
      by unprivileged users; but fortunately they can't, so in the back branches
      the problem can be labeled as improper configuration by a superuser.
      Nonetheless, a memory stomp isn't a nice way of reacting to improper
      configuration, so let's back-patch the fix.

      Avoid copying index tuples when building an index. · 9f03ca91
      Robert Haas authored
      The previous code, perhaps out of concern for avoid memory leaks, formed
      the tuple in one memory context and then copied it to another memory
      context.  However, this doesn't appear to be necessary, since
      index_form_tuple and the functions it calls take precautions against
      leaking memory.  In my testing, building the tuple directly inside the
      sort context shaves several percent off the index build time.
      Rearrange things so we do that.

      Issue a WARNING about invalid rule file format in contrib/unaccent. · 03a25cec

      We were already issuing a WARNING, albeit only elog not ereport, for
      duplicate source strings; so warning rather than just being stoically
      silent seems like the best thing to do here.  Arguably both of these
      complaints should be upgraded to ERRORs, but that might be more
      behavioral change than people want.
      
      Note: the faulty line is already printed via an errcontext hook,
      so there's no need for more information than these messages provide.

      This could be useful in languages where diacritic signs are represented as
