Make lists of the names of all operators that are claimed to be commutator
pairs or negator pairs. This is analogous to the existing queries that
make lists of all operator names appearing in particular opclass strategy
slots. Unexpected additions to these lists are likely to be mistakes; had
we had these queries in place before, bug #11178 might've been prevented.
With OpenLDAP versions 2.4.24 through 2.4.31, inclusive, PostgreSQL
backends can crash at exit. Raise a warning during "configure" based on
the compile-time OpenLDAP version number, and test the crash scenario in
the dblink test suite. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Unset environment variables that control message language, so that we
can compare some program output with expected strings. This is very
similar to what pg_regress does.
When a view has a function-returning-composite in FROM, and there are
some dropped columns in the underlying composite type, ruleutils.c
printed junk in the column alias list for the reconstructed FROM entry.
Before 9.3, this was prevented by doing get_rte_attribute_is_dropped
tests while printing the column alias list; but that solution is not
currently available to us for reasons I'll explain below. Instead,
check for empty-string entries in the alias list, which can only exist
if that column position had been dropped at the time the view was made.
(The parser fills in empty strings to preserve the invariant that the
aliases correspond to physical column positions.)
While this is sufficient to handle the case of columns dropped before
the view was made, we have still got issues with columns dropped after
the view was made. In particular, the view could contain Vars that
explicitly reference such columns! The dependency machinery really
ought to refuse the column drop attempt in such cases, as it would do
when trying to drop a table column that's explicitly referenced in
views. However, we currently neglect to store dependencies on columns
of composite types, and fixing that is likely to be too big to be
back-patchable (not to mention that existing views in existing databases
would not have the needed pg_depend entries anyway). So I'll leave that
for a separate patch.
Pre-9.3, ruleutils would print such Vars normally (with their original
column names) even though it suppressed their entries in the RTE's
column alias list. This is certainly bogus, since the printed view
definition would fail to reload, but at least it didn't crash. However,
as of 9.3 the printed column alias list is tightly tied to the names
printed for Vars; so we can't treat columns as dropped for one purpose
and not dropped for the other. This is why we can't just put back the
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped test: it results in an assertion failure
if the view in fact contains any Vars referencing the dropped column.
Once we've got dependencies preventing such cases, we'll probably want
to do it that way instead of relying on the empty-string test used here.
This fix turned up a very ancient bug in outfuncs/readfuncs, namely
that T_String nodes containing empty strings were not dumped/reloaded
correctly: the node was printed as "<>" which is read as a string
value of <>. Since (per SQL) we disallow empty-string identifiers,
such nodes don't occur normally, which is why we'd not noticed.
(Such nodes aren't used for literal constants, just identifiers.)
Per report from Marc Schablewski. Back-patch to 9.3 which is where
the rule printing behavior changed. The dangling-variable case is
broken all the way back, but that's not what his complaint is about.
We can remove a left join to a relation if the relation's output is
provably distinct for the columns involved in the join clause (considering
only equijoin clauses) and the relation supplies no variables needed above
the join. Previously, the join removal logic could only prove distinctness
by reference to unique indexes of a table. This patch extends the logic
to consider subquery relations, wherein distinctness might be proven by
reference to GROUP BY, DISTINCT, etc.
We actually already had some code to check that a subquery's output was
provably distinct, but it was hidden inside pathnode.c; which was a pretty
bad place for it really, since that file is mostly boilerplate Path
construction and comparison. Move that code to analyzejoins.c, which is
arguably a more appropriate location, and is certainly the site of the
new usage for it.

ws2_32 is the new version of the library that should be used, as

ExecEvalWholeRowVar incorrectly supposed that it could "bless" the source
TupleTableSlot just once per query. But if the input is coming from an
Append (or, perhaps, other cases?) more than one slot might be returned
over the query run. This led to "record type has not been registered"
errors when a composite datum was extracted from a non-blessed slot.
This bug has been there a long time; I guess it escaped notice because when
dealing with subqueries the planner tends to expand whole-row Vars into
RowExprs, which don't have the same problem. It is possible to trigger
the problem in all active branches, though, as illustrated by the added
regression test.
This command provides an automated way to create foreign table definitions
that match remote tables, thereby reducing tedium and chances for error.
In this patch, we provide the necessary core-server infrastructure and
implement the feature fully in the postgres_fdw foreign-data wrapper.
Other wrappers will throw a "feature not supported" error until/unless
they are updated.

While the x output of "select x from t group by x" can be presumed unique,
this does not hold for "select x, generate_series(1,10) from t group by x",
because we may expand the set-returning function after the grouping step.
(Perhaps that should be re-thought; but considering all the other oddities
involved with SRFs in targetlists, it seems unlikely we'll change it.)
Put a check in query_is_distinct_for() so it's not fooled by such cases.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

Creating the Unix-domain socket in the build directory can run into
name-length limitations. Therefore, create the socket file in the
default temporary directory of the operating system. Keep the temporary
data directory etc. in the build tree.
The "false" case was really quite useless since all it did was to throw
an error; a definition not helped in the least by making it the default.
Instead let's just have the "true" case, which emits nested objects and
arrays in JSON syntax. We might later want to provide the ability to
emit sub-objects in Postgres record or array syntax, but we'd be best off
to drive that off a check of the target field datatype, not a separate
argument.
For the functions newly added in 9.4, we can just remove the flag arguments
outright. We can't do that for json_populate_record[set], which already
existed in 9.3, but we can ignore the argument and always behave as if it
were "true". It helps that the flag arguments were optional and not
documented in any useful fashion anyway.
We can allow this even without any specific knowledge of the semantics
of the window function, so long as pushed-down quals will either accept
every row in a given window partition, or reject every such row. Because
window functions act only within a partition, such a case can't result
in changing the window functions' outputs for any surviving row.
Eliminating entire partitions in this way obviously can reduce the cost
of the window-function computations substantially.
The fly in the ointment is that it's hard to be entirely sure whether
this is true for an arbitrary qual condition. This patch allows pushdown
if (a) the qual references only partitioning columns, and (b) the qual
contains no volatile functions. We are at risk of incorrect results if
the qual can produce different answers for values that the partitioning
equality operator sees as equal. While it's not hard to invent cases
for which that can happen, it seems to seldom be a problem in practice,
since no one has complained about a similar assumption that we've had
for many years with respect to DISTINCT. The potential performance
gains seem to be worth the risk.
David Rowley, reviewed by Vik Fearing; some credit is due also to
Thomas Mayer who did considerable preliminary investigation.
A WHERE clause applied to the output of a subquery with DISTINCT should
theoretically be applied only once per distinct row; but if we push it
into the subquery then it will be evaluated at each row before duplicate
elimination occurs. If the qual is volatile this can give rise to
observably wrong results, so don't do that.
While at it, refactor a little bit to allow subquery_is_pushdown_safe
to report more than one kind of restrictive condition without indefinitely
expanding its argument list.
Although this is a bug fix, it seems unwise to back-patch it into released
branches, since it might de-optimize plans for queries that aren't giving
any trouble in practice. So apply to 9.4 but not further back.
These should not have existed to begin with, but there was apparently some
misunderstanding of the purpose of the opr_sanity regression test item
that checks for operator implementation functions with their own comments.
The idea there is to check for unintentional violations of the rule that
operator implementation functions shouldn't be documented separately
.... but for these functions, that is in fact what we want, since the
variadic option is useful and not accessible via the operator syntax.
Get rid of the extra pg_proc entries and fix the regression test and
documentation to be explicit about what we're doing here.
Commit a87c729153e372f3731689a7be007bc2b53f1410 already fixed the bug this
is checking for, but the regression test case it added didn't cover this
scenario. Since we managed to miss the fact that there was a bug at all,
it seems like a good idea to propagate the extra test case forward to HEAD.
I noticed that the functions in jsonfuncs.c sometimes printed error
messages that claimed I'd called some other function. Investigation showed
that this was from repurposing code into "worker" functions without taking
much care as to whether it would mention the right SQL-level function if it
threw an error. Moreover, there was a weird mismash of messages that
contained a fixed function name, messages that used %s for a function name,
and messages that constructed a function name out of spare parts, like
"json%s_populate_record" (which, quite aside from being ugly as sin, wasn't
even sufficient to cover all the cases). This would put an undue burden on
our long-suffering translators. Standardize on inserting the SQL function
name with %s so as to reduce the number of translatable strings, and pass
function names around as needed to make sure we can report the right one.
Fix up some gratuitous variations in wording, too.
populate_recordset_object_start() improperly created a new hash table
(overwriting the link to the existing one) if called at nest levels
greater than one. This resulted in previous fields not appearing in
the final output, as reported by Matti Hameister in bug #10728.
In 9.4 the problem also affects json_to_recordset.
This perhaps missed detection earlier because the default behavior is to
throw an error for nested objects: you have to pass use_json_as_text = true
to see the problem.
In addition, fix query-lifespan leakage of the hashtable created by
json_populate_record(). This is pretty much the same problem recently
fixed in dblink: creating an intended-to-be-temporary context underneath
the executor's per-tuple context isn't enough to make it go away at the
end of the tuple cycle, because MemoryContextReset is not
MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren.

This SQL-standard feature allows a sub-SELECT yielding multiple columns
(but only one row) to be used to compute the new values of several columns
to be updated. While the same results can be had with an independent
sub-SELECT per column, such a workaround can require a great deal of
duplicated computation.
The standard actually says that the source for a multi-column assignment
could be any row-valued expression. The implementation used here is
tightly tied to our existing sub-SELECT support and can't handle other
cases; the Bison grammar would have some issues with them too. However,
I don't feel too bad about this since other cases can be converted into
sub-SELECTs. For instance, "SET (a,b,c) = row_valued_function(x)" could
be written "SET (a,b,c) = (SELECT * FROM row_valued_function(x))".
Since most of the system thinks AND and OR are N-argument expressions
anyway, let's have the grammar generate a representation of that form when
dealing with input like "x AND y AND z AND ...", rather than generating
a deeply-nested binary tree that just has to be flattened later by the
planner. This avoids stack overflow in parse analysis when dealing with
queries having more than a few thousand such clauses; and in any case it
removes some rather unsightly inconsistencies, since some parts of parse
analysis were generating N-argument ANDs/ORs already.
It's still possible to get a stack overflow with weirdly parenthesized
input, such as "x AND (y AND (z AND ( ... )))", but such cases are not
mainstream usage. The maximum depth of parenthesization is already
limited by Bison's stack in such cases, anyway, so that the limit is
probably fairly platform-independent.

Any OS user able to access the socket can connect as the bootstrap
superuser and proceed to execute arbitrary code as the OS user running
the test. Protect against that by placing the socket in a temporary,
mode-0700 subdirectory of /tmp. The pg_regress-based test suites and
the pg_upgrade test suite were vulnerable; the $(prove_check)-based test
suites were already secure. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions).
The hazard remains wherever the temporary cluster accepts TCP
connections, notably on Windows.
As a convenient side effect, this lets testing proceed smoothly in
builds that override DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR. Popular non-default values
like /var/run/postgresql are often unwritable to the build user.
Security: CVE-2014-0067
Since we commonly test pg_dump/pg_restore by seeing whether they can dump
and restore the regression test database, it behooves us to include some
large objects in that test scenario.
I tried to include a comment on one of these large objects to improve
the test scenario further ... but it turns out that pg_upgrade fails to
preserve comments on large objects, and its regression test notices
the discrepancy. So uncommenting that COMMENT is a TODO for later.
Robert Frost is no longer with us, but his copyrights still are, so

Memorialize the expected output of the query that libpq has been using for
many years to get the OIDs of large-object support functions. Although
we really ought to change the way libpq does this, we must expect that
this query will remain in use in the field for the foreseeable future,
so until we're ready to break compatibility with old libpq versions
we'd better check the results stay the same. See the recent lo_create()
fiasco.
The previous naming broke the query that libpq's lo_initialize() uses
to collect the OIDs of the server-side functions it requires, because
that query effectively assumes that there is only one function named
lo_create in the pg_catalog schema (and likewise only one lo_open, etc).
While we should certainly make libpq more robust about this, the naive
query will remain in use in the field for the foreseeable future, so it
seems the only workable choice is to use a different name for the new
function. lo_from_bytea() won a small straw poll.
Back-patch into 9.4 where the new function was introduced.
Although this bug is already fixed in post-9.2 branches, the case
triggering it is quite different from what was under consideration
at the time. It seems worth memorializing this example in HEAD
just to make sure it doesn't get broken again in future.

The original location in create_function_3.sql didn't invite the close
structinity warranted for adding new leakproof functions. Add comments

careful consideration and understanding what a leakproof function is.
Per complaint from Tom Lane after 5eebb8d954ad.
Buildfarm says we get different plans on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms,
probably because of MAXALIGN-related differences in memory-consumption
calculations. Add some dummy WHERE clauses so that the planner estimates
different sizes for the three generate_series() relations; that should
stabilize the choice of join order.
This is needed to allow ORDER BY, DISTINCT, etc to work as expected for
pg_lsn values.
We had previously decided to put this off for 9.5, but in view of commit
eeca4cd35e284c72b2ea1b4494e64e7738896e81 there's no reason to avoid a
catversion bump for 9.4beta2, and this does make a pretty significant
usability difference for pg_lsn.

Per gripe from Peter Eisentraut and Tom Lane.
The output is slightly different, but still ISO 8601 compliant: to_char
doesn't output the minutes when time zone offset is an integer number of
hours, while EncodeDateTime outputs ":00".
The code is slightly adapted from code in xml.c
Previously, any backslash in text being escaped for JSON was doubled so
that the result was still valid JSON. However, this led to some perverse
results in the case of Unicode sequences, These are now detected and the
initial backslash is no longer escaped. All other backslashes are
still escaped. No validity check is performed, all that is looked for is
\uXXXX where X is a hexidecimal digit.
This is a change from the 9.2 and 9.3 behaviour as noted in the Release
notes.
Per complaint from Teodor Sigaev.
Many JSON processors require timestamp strings in ISO 8601 format in
order to convert the strings. When converting a timestamp, with or
without timezone, to a JSON datum we therefore now use such a format
rather than the type's default text output, in functions such as
to_json().
This is a change in behaviour from 9.2 and 9.3, as noted in the release
notes.
Use the unaligned/no rowcount output mode in a regression tests that
shows all built-in leakproof functions. Currently a new leakproof
function will often change the alignment of all existing functions,
making it hard to see the actual difference and creating unnecessary
patch conflicts.
Noticed while looking over a patch introducing new leakproof functions.

It turns out that the %name-prefix syntax without "=" does not work
at all in pre-2.4 Bison. We are not prepared to make such a large
jump in minimum required Bison version just to suppress a warning
message in a version hardly any developers are using yet.
When 3.0 gets more popular, we'll figure out a way to deal with this.
In the meantime, BISONFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated is recommendable for
anyone using 3.0 who doesn't want to see the warning.
%name-prefix doesn't use an "=" sign according to the Bison docs, but it
silently accepted one anyway, until Bison 3.0. This was originally a
typo of mine in commit 012abebab1bc72043f3f670bf32e91ae4ee04bd2, and we
seem to have slavishly copied the error into all the other grammar files.

America/Metlakatla hasn't been in the IANA database all that long, so
some installations might not have it. It does seem worthwhile to test
with a fractional-minute GMT offset, but we can get that from almost
any pre-1900 date; I chose Europe/Paris, whose LMT offset from Greenwich
should be pretty darn well established.
Also, assuming that Mars/Mons_Olympus will never be in the IANA database
seems less than future-proof, so let's use a more fanciful location for
the bad-zone-name check.
Per complaint from Christoph Berg.
There's no longer much pressure to switch the default GIN opclass for
jsonb, but there was still some unhappiness with the name "jsonb_hash_ops",
since hashing is no longer a distinguishing property of that opclass,
and anyway it seems like a relatively minor detail. At the suggestion of
Heikki Linnakangas, we'll use "jsonb_path_ops" instead; that captures the
important characteristic that each index entry depends on the entire path
from the document root to the indexed value.
Also add a user-facing explanation of the implementation properties of
these two opclasses.
Change the key representation so that values that would exceed 127 bytes
are hashed into short strings, and so that the original JSON datatype of
each value is recorded in the index. The hashing rule eliminates the major
objection to having this opclass be the default for jsonb, namely that it
could fail for plausible input data (due to GIN's restrictions on maximum
key length). Preserving datatype information doesn't really buy us much
right now, but it requires no extra space compared to the previous way,
and it might be useful later.
Also, change the consistency-checking functions to request recheck for
exists (jsonb ? text) and related operators. The original analysis that
this is an exactly checkable query was incorrect, since the index does
not preserve information about whether a key appears at top level in
the indexed JSON object. Add a test case demonstrating the problem.
Make some other, mostly cosmetic improvements to the code in jsonb_gin.c
as well.
catversion bump due to on-disk data format change in jsonb_ops indexes.
This reverts commit ee1e5662d8d8330726eaef7d3110cb7add24d058, as well as
a remarkably large number of followup commits, which were mostly concerned
with the fact that the implementation didn't work terribly well. It still
doesn't: we probably need some rather basic work in the GUC infrastructure
if we want to fully support GUCs whose default varies depending on the
value of another GUC. Meanwhile, it also emerged that there wasn't really
consensus in favor of the definition the patch tried to implement (ie,
effective_cache_size should default to 4 times shared_buffers). So whack
it all back to where it was. In a followup commit, I'll do what was
recently agreed to, which is to simply change the default to a higher
value.
ActiveSnapshot needs to be set when we call ExecutorRewind because some
plan node types may execute user-defined functions during their ReScan
calls (nodeLimit.c does so, at least). The wisdom of that is somewhat
debatable, perhaps, but for now the simplest fix is to make sure the
required context is valid. Failure to do this typically led to a
null-pointer-dereference core dump, though it's possible that in more
complex cases a function could be executed with the wrong snapshot
leading to very subtle misbehavior.
Per report from Leif Jensen. It's been broken for a long time, so
back-patch to all active branches.
Commit 4318daecc959886d001a6e79c6ea853e8b1dfb4b introduced a test that
couldn't be made consistent between integer and floating-point
timestamps.
It was designed to test the longest possible interval output length,
so removing four zeros from the number of hours, as this patch does,
is not ideal. But the test still has some utility for its original
purpose, and there aren't a lot of other good options.
Noah Misch suggested a different approach where we test that the
output either matches what we expect from integer timestamps or what
we expect from floating-point timestamps. That seemed to obscure an
otherwise simple test, however.
