our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current
command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows
we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the
even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted
by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
messages, when client attempts to execute these outside a transaction (start
one) or in a failed transaction (reject message, except for COMMIT/ROLLBACK
statements which we can handle). Per report from Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
only the inner-side relation would be considered as potential equijoin clauses,
which is wrong because the condition doesn't necessarily hold above the point
of the outer join. Per test case from Kevin Grittner (bug#1916).
checked that the pointer is actually word-aligned. Casting a non-aligned
pointer to int32* is technically illegal per the C spec, and some recent
versions of gcc actually generate bad code for the memset() when given
such a pointer. Per report from Andrew Morrow.
not memcpy() to copy the offered key into the hash table during HASH_ENTER.
This avoids possible core dump if the passed key is located very near the
end of memory. Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.
to just around the bare recv() call that gets a command from the client.
The former placement in PostgresMain was unsafe because the intermediate
processing layers (especially SSL) use facilities such as malloc that are
not necessarily re-entrant. Per report from counterstorm.com.
working buffer into ParseDateTime() and reject too-long input there,
rather than checking the length of the input string before calling
ParseDateTime(). The old method was bogus because ParseDateTime() can use
a variable amount of working space, depending on the content of the
input string (e.g. how many fields need to be NUL terminated). This fixes
a minor stack overrun -- I don't _think_ it's exploitable, although I
won't claim to be an expert.
Along the way, fix a bug reported by Mark Dilger: the working buffer
allocated by interval_in() was too short, which resulted in rejecting
some perfectly valid interval input values. I added a regression test for
this fix.
for transaction commits that occurred just before the checkpoint. This is
an EXTREMELY serious bug --- kudos to Satoshi Okada for creating a
reproducible test case to prove its existence.
are sought first as local FROM columns, then as local SELECT-list aliases,
and finally as outer FROM columns; the former behavior made outer FROM
columns take precedence over aliases. This does not change spec
conformance because SQL99 allows only the first case anyway, and it seems
more useful and self-consistent. Per gripe from Dennis Bjorklund 2004-04-05.
and FreeDir routines modeled on the existing AllocateFile/FreeFile.
Like the latter, these routines will avoid failing on EMFILE/ENFILE
conditions whenever possible, and will prevent leakage of directory
descriptors if an elog() occurs while one is open.
Also, reduce PANIC to ERROR in MoveOfflineLogs() --- this is not
critical code and there is no reason to force a DB restart on failure.
All per recent trouble report from Olivier Hubaut.
number of openable files and the number already opened. This eliminates
depending on sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX), and allows much saner behavior on
platforms where open-file slots are used up by semaphores.
problem, per previous discussion. Make some additional changes to
centralize the knowledge of just how identifier downcasing is done,
in hopes of simplifying any future tweaking in this area.
when scanning a table that we need all the columns from. In case of
SELECT INTO, we have to check that the hasoids flag matches the desired
output type, too. Per report from Mike Mascari.
shut down cleanly if the plan node is ReScanned before the SRFs are run
to completion. This fixes the problem for SQL-language functions, but
still need work on functions using the SRF_XXX() macros.
and hash bucket-size estimation. Issue has been there awhile but is more
critical in 7.4 because it affects varchar columns. Per report from
Greg Stark.
couple months ago: the >= and > operators were swapped. Not worth
forcing an initdb for this, but we should get it right in the release.
Will be patched separately in HEAD.
ACL array, and force languages to be treated as owned by the bootstrap
user ID. (pg_language should have a lanowner column, but until it does
this will have to do as a workaround.)
