      Postpone creation of pathkeys lists to fix bug #8049. · db9f0e1d
      Tom Lane authored
      This patch gets rid of the concept of, and infrastructure for,
      non-canonical PathKeys; we now only ever create canonical pathkey lists.
      
      The need for non-canonical pathkeys came from the desire to have
      grouping_planner initialize query_pathkeys and related pathkey lists before
      calling query_planner.  However, since query_planner didn't actually *do*
      anything with those lists before they'd been made canonical, we can get rid
      of the whole mess by just not creating the lists at all until the point
      where we formerly canonicalized them.
      
      There are several ways in which we could implement that without making
      query_planner itself deal with grouping/sorting features (which are
      supposed to be the province of grouping_planner).  I chose to add a
      callback function to query_planner's API; other alternatives would have
      required adding more fields to PlannerInfo, which while not bad in itself
      would create an ABI break for planner-related plugins in the 9.2 release
      series.  This still breaks ABI for anything that calls query_planner
      directly, but it seems somewhat unlikely that there are any such plugins.
      
      I had originally conceived of this change as merely a step on the way to
      fixing bug #8049 from Teun Hoogendoorn; but it turns out that this fixes
      that bug all by itself, as per the added regression test.  The reason is
      that now get_eclass_for_sort_expr is adding the ORDER BY expression at the
      end of EquivalenceClass creation not the start, and so anything that is in
      a multi-member EquivalenceClass has already been created with correct
      em_nullable_relids.  I am suspicious that there are related scenarios in
      which we still need to teach get_eclass_for_sort_expr to compute correct
      nullable_relids, but am not eager to risk destabilizing either 9.2 or 9.3
      to fix bugs that are only hypothetical.  So for the moment, do this and
      stop here.
      
      Back-patch to 9.2 but not to earlier branches, since they don't exhibit
      this bug for lack of join-clause-movement logic that depends on
      em_nullable_relids being correct.  (We might have to revisit that choice
      if any related bugs turn up.)  In 9.2, don't change the signature of
      make_pathkeys_for_sortclauses nor remove canonicalize_pathkeys, so as
      not to risk more plugin breakage than we have to.

      Ensure ANALYZE phase is not skipped because of canceled truncate. · 5fc89376
      Kevin Grittner authored
      Patch b19e4250 attempted to
      preserve existing behavior regarding statistics generation in the
      case that a truncation attempt was canceled due to lock conflicts.
      It failed to do this accurately in two regards: (1) autovacuum had
      previously generated statistics if the truncate attempt failed to
      initially get the lock rather than having started the attempt, and
      (2) the VACUUM ANALYZE command had always generated statistics.
      
      Both of these changes were unintended, and are reverted by this
      patch.  On review, there seems to be consensus that the previous
      failure to generate statistics when the truncate was terminated
      was more an unfortunate consequence of how that effort was
      previously terminated than a feature we want to keep; so this
      patch generates statistics even when an autovacuum truncation
      attempt terminates early.  Another unintended change which is kept
      on the basis that it is an improvement is that when a VACUUM
      command is truncating, it will the new heuristic for avoiding
      blocking other processes, rather than keeping an
      AccessExclusiveLock on the table for however long the truncation
      takes.
      
      Per multiple reports, with some renaming per patch by Jeff Janes.
      
      Backpatch to 9.0, where problem was created.

      Attempt to fix error recovery in COPY BOTH mode. · 91fa8532
      Robert Haas authored
      Previously, libpq and the backend had opposite ideas about whether
      it was necessary for the client to send a CopyDone message after
      receiving an ErrorResponse, making it impossible to cleanly exit
      COPY BOTH mode.  Fix libpq so that works correctly, adopting the
      backend's notion that an ErrorResponse kills the copy in both
      directions.
      
      Adjust receivelog.c to avoid a degradation in the quality of the
      resulting error messages.  libpqwalreceiver.c is already doing
      the right thing, so no adjustment needed there.
      
      Add an explicit statement to the documentation explaining how
      this part of the protocol is supposed to work, in the hopes of
      avoiding future confusion in this area.
      
      Since the consequences of all this confusion are very limited,
      especially in the back-branches where no client ever attempts
      to exit COPY BOTH mode without closing the connection entirely,
      no back-patch.

      Introduce new page checksum algorithm and module. · 43e7a668
      Simon Riggs authored
      Isolate checksum calculation to its own module, so that bufpage
      knows little if anything about the details of the calculation.
      
      This implementation is a modified FNV-1a hash checksum, details
      of which are given in the new checksum.c header comments.
      
      Basic implementation only, so we fix the output value.
      
      Later related commits will add version numbers to pg_control,
      compiler optimization flags and memory barriers.

      Editorialize a bit on new ProcessUtility() API. · f8db76e8
      Tom Lane authored
      Choose a saner ordering of parameters (adding a new input param after
      the output params seemed a bit random), update the function's header
      comment to match reality (cmon folks, is this really that hard?),
      get rid of useless and sloppily-defined distinction between

      Fix unsafe event-trigger coding in ProcessUtility(). · 5525e6c4
      Tom Lane authored
      We mustn't run any of the event-trigger support code when handling
      utility statements like START TRANSACTION or ABORT, because that code
      may need to refresh event-trigger cache data, which requires being
      inside a valid transaction.  (This mistake explains the consistent
      build failures exhibited by the CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS buildfarm members,
      as well as some irreproducible failures on other members.)
      
      The least messy fix seems to be to break standard_ProcessUtility into two
      functions, one that handles all the statements not supported by event
      triggers, and one that contains the event-trigger support code and handles
      the statements that are supported by event triggers.
      
      This change also fixes several inconsistencies, such as four cases where
      support had been installed for "ddl_event_start" but not "ddl_event_end"
      triggers, plus the fact that InvokeDDLCommandEventTriggersIfSupported()
      paid no mind to isCompleteQuery.

      Incidental cleanup of matviews code. · 5194024d
      Tom Lane authored
      Move checking for unscannable matviews into ExecOpenScanRelation, which is
      a better place for it first because the open relation is already available
      (saving a relcache lookup cycle), and second because this eliminates the
      problem of telling the difference between rangetable entries that will or
      will not be scanned by the query.  In particular we can get rid of the
      not-terribly-well-thought-out-or-implemented isResultRel field that the
      initial matviews patch added to RangeTblEntry.
      
      Also get rid of entirely unnecessary scannability check in the rewriter,
      and a bogus decision about whether RefreshMatViewStmt requires a parse-time
      snapshot.
      
      catversion bump due to removal of a RangeTblEntry field, which changes
      stored rules.

      Fix collation assignment for aggregates with ORDER BY. · 41a2760f
      Tom Lane authored
      ORDER BY expressions were being treated the same as regular aggregate
      arguments for purposes of collation determination, but really they should
      not affect the aggregate's collation at all; only collations of the
      aggregate's regular arguments should affect it.
      
      In many cases this mistake would lead to incorrectly throwing a "collation
      conflict" error; but in some cases the corrected code will silently assign
      a different collation to the aggregate than before, for example
      	agg(foo ORDER BY bar COLLATE "x")
      which will now use foo's collation rather than "x" for the aggregate.
      Given this risk and the lack of field complaints about the issue, it
      doesn't seem prudent to back-patch.
      
      In passing, rearrange code in assign_collations_walker so that we don't
      need multiple copies of the standard logic for computing collation of a
      node with children.  (Previously, CaseExpr duplicated the standard logic,
      and we would have needed a third copy for Aggref without this change.)

      There's probably no real bug here at present, so not backpatching.

      Add missing #include. · 0c1a160a
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      On non-Windows systems, sys/time.h was pulled in by portability/instr_time.h,
      which pulled in time.h. We certainly should include time.h directly, since
      we're using time(2), but the indirect include masked the problem on most
      platforms.

      Fix assertion failure for REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW in PL. · 63e20041
      Kevin Grittner authored
      This was due to incomplete implementation of rowcount reporting
      for RMV, which was due to initial waffling on whether it should
      be provided.  It seems unlikely to be a useful or universally
      available  number as more sophisticated techniques for maintaining
      matviews are added, so remove the partial support rather than
      completing it.
