Tom Lane pushed:

  • Fix unportable disregard of alignment requirements in RADIUS code. The compiler is entitled to store a char[] local variable with no particular alignment requirement. Our RADIUS code cavalierly took such a local variable and cast its address to a struct type that does have alignment requirements. On an alignment-picky machine this would lead to bus errors. To fix, declare the local variable honestly, and then cast its address to char * for use in the I/O calls. Given the lack of field complaints, there must be very few if any people affected; but nonetheless this is a clear portability issue, so back-patch to all supported branches. Noted while looking at a Coverity complaint in the same code. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/4c051c41d63e8462971c13956a38030de9c35c51
  • Fix some minor resource leaks in PerformRadiusTransaction(). Failure to free serveraddrs pointed out by Coverity, failure to close socket noted by code-reading. These bugs seem to be quite old, but given the low probability of taking these error-exit paths and the minimal consequences of the leaks (since the process would presumably exit shortly anyway), it doesn't seem worth back-patching. Michael Paquier and Tom Lane http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7cbd944662854a0a5264895bcba3ce7f9bfd1c1f
  • Fix typos in logical replication support for initial data copy. Fix an incorrect assert condition (noted by Coverity), and spell the new name of the function correctly. Typos introduced in commit 7c4f52409. Michael Paquier http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/5459cfd3ad52b87a1e2ed293ae55e733c6964715
  • Use ExecPrepareExpr in place of ExecPrepareCheck where appropriate. Change one more place where ExecInitCheck/ExecPrepareCheck's insistence on getting implicit-AND-format quals wasn't really helpful, because the caller had to do make_ands_implicit() for no reason that it cared about. Using ExecPrepareExpr directly simplifies the code and saves cycles. The only remaining use of these functions is to process resultRelInfo->ri_PartitionCheck quals. However, implicit-AND format does seem to be what we want for that, so leave it alone. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/9b95f2fa1e2684fa209a3594db2254b8841bf380
  • Improve performance of ExecEvalWholeRowVar. In commit b8d7f053c, we needed to fix ExecEvalWholeRowVar to not change the state of the slot it's copying. The initial quick hack at that required two rounds of tuple construction, which is not very nice. To fix, add another primitive to tuptoaster.c that does precisely what we need. (I initially tried to do this by refactoring one of the existing functions into two pieces; but it looked like that might hurt performance for the existing case, and the amount of code that could be shared is not very large, so I gave up on that.)

  • Show ignored constants as "$N" rather than "?" in pg_stat_statements. The trouble with the original choice here is that "?" is a valid (and indeed used) operator name, so that you could end up with ambiguous statement texts like "SELECT ? ? ?". With this patch, you instead see "SELECT $1 ? $2", which seems significantly more readable. The numbers used for this purpose begin after the last actual $N parameter in the particular query. The conflict with external parameters has its own potential for confusion of course, but it was agreed to be an improvement over the previous behavior.

  • Suppress implicit-conversion warnings seen with newer clang versions. We were assigning values near 255 through "char *" pointers. On machines where char is signed, that's not entirely kosher, and it's reasonable for compilers to warn about it. A better solution would be to change the pointer type to "unsigned char *", but that would be vastly more invasive. For the moment, let's just apply this simple backpatchable solution. Aleksander Alekseev Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170220141239.GD12278@e733.localdomain Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2839.1490714708@sss.pgh.pa.us http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8cfeaecfc76a7366b336272bc76e96e09281b133
  • Make new expression eval code reject references to dropped columns. Formerly, a Var referencing an already-dropped column was allowed and would always produce a NULL value. However, that behavior was implemented in slot_getattr which the new expression code doesn't use; thus there is now a risk of returning theoretically-deleted data. We had regression test cases that purported to exercise this, but they failed to expose any problem, apparently because plpgsql filters the dropped column and produces an output tuple that has a NULL there already. Ideally the DROP or ALTER attempt in these test cases would get rejected due to dependency checks; but until that happens, let's modify the behavior so that we fail the query during executor start. This was already true for the related case of a column having changed type underneath us, and there's no obvious reason why we need to be laxer for dropped columns. In passing, adjust the error messages in CheckVarSlotCompatibility to include the composite type name. In the cases shown in the regression tests this is always just "record", but it should be more useful in actual stale-plan cases, where the slot tupdesc would be a table's tupdesc directly.

  • Support \if ... \elif ... \else ... \endif in psql scripting. This patch adds nestable conditional blocks to psql. The control structure feature per se is complete, but the boolean expressions understood by \if and \elif are pretty primitive; basically, after variable substitution and backtick expansion, the result has to be "true" or "false" or one of the other standard spellings of a boolean value. But that's enough for many purposes, since you can always do the heavy lifting on the server side; and we can extend it later. Along the way, pay down some of the technical debt that had built up around psql/command.c: * Refactor exec_command() into a function per command, instead of being a 1500-line monstrosity. This makes the file noticeably longer because of repetitive function header/trailer overhead, but it seems much more readable. * Teach psql_get_variable() and psqlscanslash.l to suppress variable substitution and backtick expansion on the basis of the conditional stack state, thereby allowing removal of the OT_NO_EVAL kluge. * Fix the no-doubt-once-expedient hack of sometimes silently substituting mainloop.c's previous_buf for query_buf when calling HandleSlashCmds. (It's a bit remarkable that commands like \r worked at all with that.) Recall of a previous query is now done explicitly in the slash commands where that should happen.

  • Fix broken markup. Per buildfarm. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/ab1e644005b6ef77dada51188d7b92905e2444d7
  • For foreign keys, check REFERENCES privilege only on the referenced table. We were requiring that the user have REFERENCES permission on both the referenced and referencing tables --- but this doesn't seem to have any support in the SQL standard, which says only that you need REFERENCES permission on the referenced table. And ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY has already checked that you own the referencing table, so the check could only fail if a table owner has revoked his own REFERENCES permission. Moreover, the symmetric interpretation of this permission is unintuitive and confusing, as per complaint from Paul Jungwirth. So let's drop the referencing-side check. In passing, do a bit of wordsmithing on the GRANT reference page so that all the privilege types are described in similar fashion. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8940.1490906755@sss.pgh.pa.us http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/64d4da511c012faff8ac309595620938a43c6817
  • Fix unstable regression test result. Commit e306df7f9 added a test case that depends on "the" being a stop word, which it is not in non-English locales. Since the point of the test is to check stopword behavior, fix by forcibly selecting the 'english' configuration. Per buildfarm. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/f1a285e21111f4d4d0c3f428ce2b3ae9e7f162c2
  • Fix unstable regression test result. Whoops, missed that same test was made for json as well as jsonb. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c281cd5fe178c946dc23eae4d4642be5ddbe3eb4
  • Allow psql variable substitution to occur in backtick command strings. Previously, text between backquotes in a psql metacommand's arguments was always passed to the shell literally. That considerably hobbles the usefulness of the feature for scripting, so we'd foreseen for a long time that we'd someday want to allow substitution of psql variables into the shell command. IMO the addition of \if metacommands has brought us to that point, since \if can greatly benefit from some sort of client-side expression evaluation capability, and psql itself is not going to grow any such thing in time for v10. Hence, this patch. It allows :VARIABLE to be replaced by the exact contents of the named variable, while :'VARIABLE' is replaced by the variable's contents suitably quoted to become a single shell-command argument. (The quoting rules for that are different from those for SQL literals, so this is a bit of an abuse of the :'VARIABLE' notation, but I doubt anyone will be confused.) As with other situations in psql, no substitution occurs if the word following a colon is not a known variable name. That limits the risk of compatibility problems for existing psql scripts; but the risk isn't zero, so this needs to be called out in the v10 release notes. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/9561.1490895211@sss.pgh.pa.us http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/f833c847b8fa4782efab45c8371d3cee64292d9b
  • Fix behavior of psql's \p to agree with \g, \w, etc. In commit e984ef586 I (tgl) simplified the behavior of \p to just print the current query buffer; but Daniel Vérité points out that this made it inconsistent with the behavior of \g and \w. It should print the same thing \g would execute. Fix that, and improve related comments.

  • Rework the stats_ext test. As suggested by Tom Lane, avoid printing specific estimated cost values, because they vary across architectures; instead, verify plan shapes (in this case, HashAggregate vs. GroupAggregate), as we do in other planner tests. We can now remove expected/stats_ext_1.out. Author: Tomas Vondra http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/bed9ef5a16239d91d97a1fa2efd9309c3cbbc4b2
  • Fix a couple of problems in pg_get_statisticsextdef. There was a thinko whereby we tested the wrong tuple after fetching it from cache; avoid that by using generate_relation_name instead, which is simpler. Also, the statistics name was not qualified, so add that. (It could be argued that qualification should be conditional on the schema not being on search path. We can add that later, but at least this form is correct.)

  • Fix thinko in estimate_num_groups. The code for the reworked n-distinct estimation on commit 7b504eb282 was written differently in a previous version of the patch, prior to commit; on rewriting it, we missed updating an initializer. This caused the code to (mistakenly) apply a fudge factor even in the case where a single value is applied, leading to incorrect results. This means that the 'relvarcount' variable name is now wrong. Add a comment to try and make the situation clearer, and remove an incorrect comment I added. Problem noticed, and code patch, by Tomas Vondra. Additional commentary by Ãlvaro. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/1f171a1803c28d3ae24636c9ca3352ec82c39e5f
  • Fix uninitialized memory propagation mistakes. Valgrind complains that some uninitialized bytes are being passed around by the extended statistics code since commit 7b504eb282ca2f, as reported by Andres Freund. Silence it. Tomas Vondra submitted a patch which he verified to fix the complaints in his machine; however I messed with it a bit before pushing, so any remaining problems are likely my (Ãlvaro's) fault.

  • Remove direct uses of ItemPointer.{ip_blkid,ip_posid}. There are no functional changes here; this simply encapsulates knowledge of the ItemPointerData struct so that a future patch can change things without more breakage. All direct users of ip_blkid and ip_posid are changed to use existing macros ItemPointerGetBlockNumber and ItemPointerGetOffsetNumber respectively. For callers where that's inappropriate (because they Assert that the itempointer is is valid-looking), add ItemPointerGetBlockNumberNoCheck and ItemPointerGetOffsetNumberNoCheck, which lack the assertion but are otherwise identical.

  • Allow DSM segments to be created as pinned. dsm_create and dsm_attach assumed that a current resource owner was always in place. Exploration with the API show that this is inconvenient: sometimes one must create a dummy resowner, create/attach the DSM, only to pin the mapping later, which is wasteful. Change create/attach so that if there is no current resowner, the dsm is effectively pinned right from the start.

  • Simplify check of modified attributes in heap_update. The old coding was getting more complicated as new things were added, and it would be barely tolerable with upcoming WARM updates and other future features such as indirect indexes. The new coding incurs a small performance cost in synthetic benchmark cases, and is barely measurable in normal cases. A much larger benefit is expected from WARM, which could actually bolt its needs on top of the existing coding, but it is much uglier and bug-prone than doing it on this new code. Additional optimization can be applied on top of this, if need be.

  • BRIN de-summarization. When the BRIN summary tuple for a page range becomes too "wide" for the values actually stored in the table (because the tuples that were present originally are no longer present due to updates or deletes), it can be useful to remove the outdated summary tuple, so that a future summarization can install a tighter summary. This commit introduces a SQL-callable interface to do so.

  • BRIN auto-summarization. Previously, only VACUUM would cause a page range to get initially summarized by BRIN indexes, which for some use cases takes too much time since the inserts occur. To avoid the delay, have brininsert request a summarization run for the previous range as soon as the first tuple is inserted into the first page of the next range. Autovacuum is in charge of processing these requests, after doing all the regular vacuuming/ analyzing work on tables. This doesn't impose any new tasks on autovacuum, because autovacuum was already in charge of doing summarizations. The only actual effect is to change the timing, i.e. that it occurs earlier. For this reason, we don't go any great lengths to record these requests very robustly; if they are lost because of a server crash or restart, they will happen at a later time anyway. Most of the new code here is in autovacuum, which can now be told about "work items" to process. This can be used for other things such as GIN pending list cleaning, perhaps visibility map bit setting, both of which are currently invoked during vacuum, but do not really depend on vacuum taking place. The requests are at the page range level, a granularity for which we did not have SQL-level access; we only had index-level summarization requests via brin_summarize_new_values(). It seems reasonable to add SQL-level access to range-level summarization too, so add a function brin_summarize_range() to do that. Authors: Ãlvaro Herrera, based on sketch from Simon Riggs.

  • Simplify the example of VACUUM in documentation. Previously a detailed activity report by VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYZE was described as an example of VACUUM in docs. But it had been obsolete for a long time. For example, commit feb4f44d296b88b7f0723f4a4f3945a371276e0b updated the content of that activity report in 2003, but we had forgotten to update the example. So basically we need to update the example. But since no one cared about the details of VACUUM output and complained about that mistake for such long time, per discussion on hackers, we decided to get rid of the detailed activity report from the example and simplify it.

  • Add infrastructure to support EphemeralNamedRelation references. A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through execution. At this point, the only thing implemented is a collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the catalogs. The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but provision is made to add more types fairly easily. An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the catalogs by relid. Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code run through SPI. The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in AFTER triggers, but that will be added to each PL as a separate commit. An incidental effect of this patch is to produce a more informative error message if an attempt is made to modify the contents of a CTE from a referencing DML statement. No tests previously covered that possibility, so one is added.
