      Fix LATERAL references to target table of UPDATE/DELETE. · 0c051c90
      Tom Lane authored
      I failed to think much about UPDATE/DELETE when implementing LATERAL :-(.
      The implemented behavior ended up being that subqueries in the FROM or
      USING clause (respectively) could access the update/delete target table as
      though it were a lateral reference; which seems fine if they said LATERAL,
      but certainly ought to draw an error if they didn't.  Fix it so you get a
      suitable error when you omit LATERAL.  Per report from Emre Hasegeli.

      And the same for do_pg_stop_backup. The code in do_pg_* is not allowed
      to access the catalogs. For manual base backups, the permissions
      check can be handled in the calling function, and for streaming
      base backups only users with the required permissions can get past
      the authentication step in the first place.

      Avoid including tablespaces inside PGDATA twice in base backups · b168c5ef
      Magnus Hagander authored
      If a tablespace was crated inside PGDATA it was backed up both as part
      of the PGDATA backup and as the backup of the tablespace. Avoid this
      by skipping any directory inside PGDATA that contains one of the active
      tablespaces.

      Cache catalog lookup data across groups in ordered-set aggregates. · 8b49a604
      Tom Lane authored
      The initial commit of ordered-set aggregates just did all the setup work
      afresh each time the aggregate function is started up.  But in a GROUP BY
      query, the catalog lookups need not be repeated for each group, since the
      column datatypes and sort information won't change.  When there are many
      small groups, this makes for a useful, though not huge, performance
      improvement.  Per suggestion from Andrew Gierth.
      
      Profiling of these cases suggests that it might be profitable to avoid
      duplicate lookups within tuplesort startup as well; but changing the
      tuplesort APIs would have much broader impact, so I left that for
      another day.

      Fix translatability markings in psql, and add defenses against future bugs. · 92459e7a
      Tom Lane authored
      Several previous commits have added columns to various \d queries without
      updating their translate_columns[] arrays, leading to potentially incorrect
      translations in NLS-enabled builds.  Offenders include commit 89368676
      (added prosecdef to \df+), c9ac00e6 (added description to \dc+) and
      3b17efdf (added description to \dC+).  Fix those cases back to 9.3 or
      9.2 as appropriate.
      
      Since this is evidently more easily missed than one would like, in HEAD
      also add an Assert that the supplied array is long enough.  This requires
      an API change for printQuery(), so it seems inappropriate for back
      branches, but presumably all future changes will be tested in HEAD anyway.
      
      In HEAD and 9.3, also clean up a whole lot of sloppiness in the emitted
      SQL for \dy (event triggers): lack of translatability due to failing to
      pass words-to-be-translated through gettext_noop(), inadequate schema
      qualification, and sloppy formatting resulting in unnecessarily ugly
      -E output.

      Fix calculation of maximum statistics-message size. · a7ef273e
      Tom Lane authored
      The PGSTAT_NUM_TABENTRIES macro should have been updated when new fields
      were added to struct PgStat_MsgTabstat in commit 64482890, but it wasn't.
      Fix that.
      
      Also, add a static assertion that we didn't overrun the intended size limit
      on stats messages.  This will not necessarily catch every mistake in
      computing the maximum array size for stats messages, but it will catch ones
      that have practical consequences.  (The assertion in fact doesn't complain
      about the aforementioned error in PGSTAT_NUM_TABENTRIES, because that was
      not big enough to cause the array length to increase.)
      
      No back-patch, as there's no actual bug in existing releases; this is just
      in the nature of future-proofing.

      Handle 5-char filenames in SlruScanDirectory · 638cf09e
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      Original users of slru.c were all producing 4-digit filenames, so that
      was all that that code was prepared to handle.  Changes to multixact.c
      in the course of commit 0ac5ad51 made pg_multixact/members create
      5-digit filenames once a certain threshold was reached, which
      SlruScanDirectory wasn't prepared to deal with; in particular,
      5-digit-name files were not removed during truncation.  Change that
      routine to make it aware of those files, and have it process them just
      like any others.
      
      Right now, some pg_multixact/members directories will contain a mixture
      of 4-char and 5-char filenames.  A future commit is expected fix things
      so that each slru.c user declares the correct maximum width for the
      files it produces, to avoid such unsightly mixtures.

      Wrap multixact/members correctly during extension · a50d9762
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      In the 9.2 code for extending multixact/members, the logic was very
      simple because the number of entries in a members page was a proper
      divisor of 2^32, and thus at 2^32 wraparound the logic for page switch
      was identical than at any other page boundary.  In commit 0ac5ad51 I
      failed to realize this and introduced code that was not able to go over
      the 2^32 boundary.  Fix that by ensuring that when we reach the last
      page of the last segment we correctly zero the initial page of the
      initial segment, using correct uint32-wraparound-safe arithmetic.

      Handle wraparound during truncation in multixact/members · 722acf51
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      In pg_multixact/members, relying on modulo-2^32 arithmetic for
      wraparound handling doesn't work all that well.  Because we don't
      explicitely track wraparound of the allocation counter for members, it
      is possible that the "live" area exceeds 2^31 entries; trying to remove
      SLRU segments that are "old" according to the original logic might lead
      to removal of segments still in use.  To fix, have the truncation
      routine use a tailored SlruScanDirectory callback that keeps track of
      the live area in actual use; that way, when the live range exceeds 2^31
      entries, the oldest segments still live will not get removed untimely.
      
      This new SlruScanDir callback needs to take care not to remove segments
      that are "in the future": if new SLRU segments appear while the
      truncation is ongoing, make sure we don't remove them.  This requires
      examination of shared memory state to recheck for false positives, but
      testing suggests that this doesn't cause a problem.  The original coding
      didn't suffer from this pitfall because segments created when truncation
      is running are never considered to be removable.

      Negodyuck.

      Extract restriction OR clauses whether or not they are indexable. · f343a880
      Tom Lane authored
      It's possible to extract a restriction OR clause from a join clause that
      has the form of an OR-of-ANDs, if each sub-AND includes a clause that
      mentions only one specific relation.  While PG has been aware of that idea
      for many years, the code previously only did it if it could extract an
      indexable OR clause.  On reflection, though, that seems a silly limitation:
      adding a restriction clause can be a win by reducing the number of rows
      that have to be filtered at the join step, even if we have to test the
      clause as a plain filter clause during the scan.  This should be especially
      useful for foreign tables, where the change can cut the number of rows that
      have to be retrieved from the foreign server; but testing shows it can win
      even on local tables.  Per a suggestion from Robert Haas.
      
      As a heuristic, I made the code accept an extracted restriction clause
      if its estimated selectivity is less than 0.9, which will probably result
      in accepting extracted clauses just about always.  We might need to tweak
      that later based on experience.
      
      Since the code no longer has even a weak connection to Path creation,
      remove orindxpath.c and create a new file optimizer/util/orclauses.c.
      
      There's some additional janitorial cleanup of now-dead code that needs
      to happen, but it seems like that's a fit subject for a separate commit.

      Don't attempt to limit target database for pg_restore. · 47f50262
      Kevin Grittner authored
      There was an apparent attempt to limit the target database for
      pg_restore to version 7.1.0 or later.  Due to a leading zero this
      was interpreted as an octal number, which allowed targets with
      version numbers down to 2.87.36.  The lowest actual release above
      that was 6.0.0, so that was effectively the limit.
      
      Since the success of the restore attempt will depend primarily on
      on what statements were generated by the dump run, we don't want
      pg_restore trying to guess whether a given target should be allowed
      based on version number.  Allow a connection to any version.  Since
      it is very unlikely that anyone would be using a recent version of
      pg_restore to restore to a pre-6.0 database, this has little to no
      practical impact, but it makes the code less confusing to read.

      Support ordered-set (WITHIN GROUP) aggregates. · 8d65da1f
      Tom Lane authored
      This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set
      aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in
      SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(),
      percent_rank(), cume_dist()).  We also added mode() though it is not in the
      spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that
      can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data.
      
      Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting
      process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions.  To allow the
      support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API
      function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c.  This allows retrieval of
      the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the
      immediate need.  There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to
      install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that
      infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up.
      
      In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic
      aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER
      additions for aggregates.  Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by
      allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT.
      It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types
      but not these.

      Change the way we mark tuples as frozen. · 37484ad2
      Robert Haas authored
      Instead of changing the tuple xmin to FrozenTransactionId, the combination
      of HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED and HEAP_XMIN_INVALID, which were previously never
      set together, is now defined as HEAP_XMIN_FROZEN.  A variety of previous
      proposals to freeze tuples opportunistically before vacuum_freeze_min_age
      is reached have foundered on the objection that replacing xmin by
      FrozenTransactionId might hinder debugging efforts when things in this
      area go awry; this patch is intended to solve that problem by keeping
      the XID around (but largely ignoring the value to which it is set).
      
      Third-party code that checks for HEAP_XMIN_INVALID on tuples where
      HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED might be set will be broken by this change.  To fix,
      use the new accessor macros in htup_details.h rather than consulting the
      bits directly.  HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin has been modified to return
      FrozenTransactionId when the infomask bits indicate that the tuple is
      frozen; use HeapTupleHeaderGetRawXmin when you already know that the
      tuple isn't marked commited or frozen, or want the raw value anyway.
      We currently do this in routines that display the xmin for user consumption,
      in tqual.c where it's known to be safe and important for the avoidance of
      extra cycles, and in the function-caching code for various procedural
      languages, which shouldn't invalidate the cache just because the tuple
      gets frozen.
