As previously coded, the QueryDesc's dest pointer was left dangling
(pointing at an already-freed receiver object) after ExecutorEnd. It's a
bit astonishing that it took us this long to notice, and I'm not sure that
the known problem case with SQL functions is the only one. Fix it by
saving and restoring the original receiver pointer, which seems the most
bulletproof way of ensuring any related bugs are also covered.
Per bug #6379 from Paul Ramsey. Back-patch to 8.4 where the current
handling of SELECT INTO was introduced.
Since record[] uses array_in, it needs to have its element type passed
as typioparam. In HEAD and 9.1, this fix essentially reverts commit
9bc933b2125a5358722490acbc50889887bf7680, which was a hack that is no
longer needed since domains don't set their typelem anymore. Before
that, adjust the logic so that only domains are excluded from being
treated like arrays, rather than assuming that only base types should
be included. Add a regression test to demonstrate the need for this.
Per report from Maxim Boguk.
Back-patch to 8.4, where type record[] was added.
When a foreign-key constraint references another column of the same table,
row updates will queue both the PK's ON UPDATE action and the FK's CHECK
action in the same event. The ON UPDATE action must execute first, else
the CHECK will check a non-final state of the row and possibly throw an
inappropriate error, as seen in bug #6268 from Roman Lytovchenko.
Now, the firing order of multiple triggers for the same event is determined
by the sort order of their pg_trigger.tgnames, and the auto-generated names
we use for FK triggers are "RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN" where NNNN is the
trigger OID. So most of the time the firing order is the same as creation
order, and so rearranging the creation order fixes it.
This patch will fail to fix the problem if the OID counter wraps around or
adds a decimal digit (eg, from 99999 to 100000) while we are creating the
triggers for an FK constraint. Given the small odds of that, and the low
usage of self-referential FKs, we'll live with that solution in the back
branches. A better fix is to change the auto-generated names for FK
triggers, but it seems unwise to do that in stable branches because there
may be client code that depends on the naming convention. We'll fix it
that way in HEAD in a separate patch.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since this bug has existed for a long
time.
Trailing-zero stripping applied by the FM specifier could strip zeroes
to the left of the decimal point, for a format with no digit positions
after the decimal point (such as "FM999.").
Reported and diagnosed by Marti Raudsepp, though I didn't use his patch.
Due to tuple-slot mismanagement, evaluation of WHEN conditions for AFTER
ROW UPDATE triggers could crash if there had been a BEFORE ROW trigger
fired for the same update. Fix by not trying to overload the use of
estate->es_trig_tuple_slot. Per report from Yoran Heling.
Back-patch to 9.0, when trigger WHEN conditions were introduced.
A PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain another, lower-level
PlaceHolderVar. If the outer PlaceHolderVar is used, the inner one
certainly will be also, and so we have to make sure that both of them get
into the placeholder_list with correct ph_may_need values during the
initial pre-scan of the query (before deconstruct_jointree starts).
We did this correctly for PlaceHolderVars appearing in the query quals,
but overlooked the issue for those appearing in the top-level targetlist;
with the result that nested placeholders referenced only in the targetlist
did not work correctly, as illustrated in bug #6154.
While at it, add some error checking to find_placeholder_info to ensure
that we don't try to create new placeholders after it's too late to do so;
they have to all be created before deconstruct_jointree starts.
Back-patch to 8.4 where the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was introduced.
Such a condition is unsatisfiable in combination with any other type of
btree-indexable condition (since we assume btree operators are always
strict). 8.3 and 8.4 had an explicit test for this, which I removed in
commit 29c4ad98293e3c5cb3fcdd413a3f4904efff8762, mistakenly thinking that
the case would be subsumed by the more general handling of IS (NOT) NULL
added in that patch. Put it back, and improve the comments about it, and
add a regression test case.
Per bug #6079 from Renat Nasyrov, and analysis by Dean Rasheed.
When recursing after an optimization in pull_up_sublinks_qual_recurse, the
available_rels value passed down must include only the relations that are
in the righthand side of the new SEMI or ANTI join; it's incorrect to pull
up a sub-select that refers to other relations, as seen in the added test
case. Per report from BangarRaju Vadapalli.
While at it, rethink the idea of recursing below a NOT EXISTS. That is
essentially the same situation as pulling up ANY/EXISTS sub-selects that
are in the ON clause of an outer join, and it has the same disadvantage:
we'd force the two joins to be evaluated according to the syntactic nesting
order, because the lower join will most likely not be able to commute with
the ANTI join. That could result in having to form a rather large join
product, whereas the handling of a correlated subselect is not quite that
dumb. So until we can handle those cases better, #ifdef NOT_USED that
case. (I think it's okay to pull up in the EXISTS/ANY cases, because SEMI
joins aren't so inflexible about ordering.)
Back-patch to 8.4, same as for previous patch in this area. Fortunately
that patch hadn't made it into any shipped releases yet.
Apparently there is no buildfarm critter exercising this case after all,
because it fails in several places. With this patch, build, install,
check-world, and installcheck-world pass for me on OS X.
These changes have been in HEAD for some time with no ill effect. They
are only being backported to 9.0, as the required WINNT version was not
high enough before that.
Eventually we might be able to allow that, but it's not clear how many
places need to be fixed to prevent infinite recursion when there's a direct
or indirect inclusion of a rowtype in itself. One such place is
CheckAttributeType(), which will recurse to stack overflow in cases such as
those exhibited in bug #5950 from Alex Perepelica. If we were sure it was
the only such place, we could easily modify the code added by this patch to
stop the recursion without a complaint ... but it probably isn't the only
such place. Hence, throw error until such time as someone is excited
enough about this type of usage to put work into making it safe.
Back-patch as far as 8.3. 8.2 doesn't have the recursive call in
CheckAttributeType in the first place, so I see no need to add code there
in the absence of clear evidence of a problem elsewhere.
This has been broken for years, and I'm not sure why it has not been
noticed before, but now a very modern Cygwin breaks on it, and the fix
is clearly correct. Backpatching to all live branches.
Failure to do so can lead to constraint violations. This was broken by
commit 1ddc2703a936d03953657f43345460b9242bbed1 on 2010-02-07, so
back-patch to 9.0.
Noah Misch. Regression test by me.
There were corner cases in which the planner would attempt to inline such
a function, which would result in a failure at runtime due to loss of
information about exactly what the result record type is. Fix by disabling
inlining when the function's recorded result type is RECORD. There might
be some sub-cases where inlining could still be allowed, but this is a
simple and backpatchable fix, so leave refinements for another day.
Per bug #5777 from Nate Carson.
Back-patch to all supported branches. 8.1 happens to avoid a core-dump
here, but it still does the wrong thing.
Some buildfarm members fail the test with the original depth of 10 levels,
apparently because they are running at the minimum max_stack_depth setting
of 100kB and using ~ 10k per recursion level. While it might be
interesting to try to figure out why they're eating so much stack, it isn't
likely that any fix for that would be back-patchable. So just change the
test to recurse only 5 levels. The extra levels don't prove anything
correctness-wise anyway.
In general, expression execution state trees aren't re-entrantly usable,
since functions can store private state information in them.
For efficiency reasons, plpgsql tries to cache and reuse state trees for
"simple" expressions. It can get away with that most of the time, but it
can fail if the state tree is dirty from a previous failed execution (as
in an example from Alvaro) or is being used recursively (as noted by me).
Fix by tracking whether a state tree is in use, and falling back to the
"non-simple" code path if so. This results in a pretty considerable speed
hit when the non-simple path is taken, but the available alternatives seem
even more unpleasant because they add overhead in the simple path. Per
idea from Heikki.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were
cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases
where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being
referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was
also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the
two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by
providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars
the same way the parser does.
Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus
calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).
The point of a PlaceHolderVar is to allow a non-strict expression to be
evaluated below an outer join, after which its value bubbles up like a Var
and can be forced to NULL when the outer join's semantics require that.
However, there was a serious design oversight in that, namely that we
didn't ensure that there was actually a correct place in the plan tree
to evaluate the placeholder :-(. It may be necessary to delay evaluation
of an outer join to ensure that a placeholder that should be evaluated
below the join can be evaluated there. Per recent bug report from Kirill
Simonov.
Back-patch to 8.4 where the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was introduced.
The previous coding would decide that join removal was unsafe upon finding
a PlaceHolderVar that needed to be evaluated at the inner rel and then used
above the join. However, this fails to cover the case of PlaceHolderVars
that refer to both the inner rel and some other rels. Per bug report from
Andrus.
This was unintentionally broken in 8.4 while tightening up checking of
ordinary non-Julian date inputs to forbid references to "year zero".
Per bug #5672 from Benjamin Gigot.
In these cases a qual can get marked with the removable rel in its
required_relids, but this is just to schedule its evaluation correctly, not
because it really depends on the rel. We were assuming that, in effect,
we could throw away *all* quals so marked, which is nonsense. Tighten up
the logic to be a little more paranoid about which quals belong to the
outer join being considered for removal, and arrange for all quals that
don't belong to be updated so they will still get evaluated correctly.
Also fix another problem that happened to be exposed by this test case,
which was that make_join_rel() was failing to notice some cases where
a constant-false qual could be used to prove a join relation empty. If it's
a pushed-down constant false, then the relation is empty even if it's an
outer join, because the qual applies after the outer join expansion.
Per report from Nathan Grange. Back-patch into 9.0.
expressions. We need to deal with this when handling subscripts in an array
assignment, and also when catching an exception. In an Assert-enabled build
these omissions led to Assert failures, but I think in a normal build the
only consequence would be short-term memory leakage; which may explain why
this wasn't reported from the field long ago.
Back-patch to all supported versions. 7.4 doesn't have exceptions, but
otherwise these bugs go all the way back.

least two people have already gotten seriously confused by. Also, add an
opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted
policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different
numbers of parameters. Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.
a pass-by-reference datatype with a nontrivial projection step.
We were using the same memory context for the projection operation as for
the temporary context used by the hashtable routines in execGrouping.c.
However, the hashtable routines feel free to reset their temp context at
any time, which'd lead to destroying input data that was still needed.
Report and diagnosis by Tao Ma.
Back-patch to 8.1, where the problem was introduced by the changes that
allowed us to work with "virtual" tuples instead of materializing intermediate
tuple values everywhere. The earlier code looks quite similar, but it doesn't
suffer the problem because the data gets copied into another context as a
result of having to materialize ExecProject's output tuple.
any implicit casting previously applied to the targetlist item. This is
reasonable because the implicit cast, by definition, wasn't written by the
user; so we are preserving the expected behavior that ORDER BY items match
textually equivalent tlist items. The case never arose before because there
couldn't be any implicit casting of a top-level SELECT item before we process
ORDER BY etc. But now it can arise in the context of aggregates containing
ORDER BY clauses, since the "targetlist" is the already-casted list of
arguments for the aggregate. The net effect is that the datatype used for
ORDER BY/DISTINCT purposes is the aggregate's declared input type, not that
of the original input column; which is a bit debatable but not horrendous,
and to do otherwise would require major rework that doesn't seem justified.
Per bug #5564 from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where aggregate ORDER BY
was implemented.
This wasn't important when we used diff's -w (--ignore-all-space) option
to compare regression result files, but it is now. Per buildfarm member

sub-select contains a join alias reference that expands into an expression

Back-patch to 7.4. Older versions didn't attempt to flatten sub-selects in
ways that would trigger this problem.
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)

I didn't test this enough :-(. Per bug #5524 from Peter Gagarinov.
If such a Var appeared within a nested sub-select, we failed to translate it
correctly during pullup of the view, because the recursive call to
replace_rte_variables_mutator was looking for the wrong sublevels_up value.

This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch,
but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping
the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable).
In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping
ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would
be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now.
I didn't attempt that at the moment.

of a URL: '"', '<', '>', '\', '^', '`', '{', '|', '}'. The previous behavior

Per gripe from Donald Fraser and spec research by Kevin Grittner.
This is a pre-existing bug, but not back-patching since the risks of
breaking existing applications seem to outweigh the benefits.
The logic for determining whether to materialize has been significantly
overhauled for 9.0. In case there should be any doubt about whether
materialization is a win in any particular case, this should provide a
convenient way of seeing what happens without it; but even with enable_material
turned off, we still materialize in cases where it is required for
correctness.
Thanks to Tom Lane for the review.
