In commit e2c2c2e8b1df7dfdb01e7e6f6191a569ce3c3195 I made use of nested
list structures to show which clauses went with which index columns, but
on reflection that's a data structure that only an old-line Lisp hacker
could love. Worse, it adds unnecessary complication to the many places
that don't much care which clauses go with which index columns. Revert
to the previous arrangement of flat lists of clauses, and instead add a
parallel integer list of column numbers. The places that care about the
pairing can chase both lists with forboth(), while the places that don't
care just examine one list the same as before.
The only real downside to this is that there are now two more lists that
need to be passed to amcostestimate functions in case they care about
column matching (which btcostestimate does, so not passing the info is not
an option). Rather than deal with 11-argument amcostestimate functions,
pass just the IndexPath and expect the functions to extract fields from it.
That gets us down to 7 arguments which is better than 11, and it seems
more future-proof against likely additions to the information we keep
about an index path.

It's potentially useful for an index to repeat the same indexable column
or expression in multiple index columns, if the columns have different
opclasses. (If they share opclasses too, the duplicate column is pretty
useless, but nonetheless we've allowed such cases since 9.0.) However,
the planner failed to cope with this, because createplan.c was relying on
simple equal() matching to figure out which index column each index qual
is intended for. We do have that information available upstream in
indxpath.c, though, so the fix is to not flatten the multi-level indexquals
list when putting it into an IndexPath. Then we can rely on the sublist
structure to identify target index columns in createplan.c. There's a
similar issue for index ORDER BYs (the KNNGIST feature), so introduce a
multi-level-list representation for that too. This adds a bit more
representational overhead, but we might more or less buy that back by not
having to search for matching index columns anymore in createplan.c;
likewise btcostestimate saves some cycles.
Per bug #6351 from Christian Rudolph. Likely symptoms include the "btree
index keys must be ordered by attribute" failure shown there, as well as
"operator MMMM is not a member of opfamily NNNN".
Although this is a pre-existing problem that can be demonstrated in 9.0 and
9.1, I'm not going to back-patch it, because the API changes in the planner
seem likely to break things such as index plugins. The corner cases where
this matters seem too narrow to justify possibly breaking things in a minor
release.

When a view is marked as a security barrier, it will not be pulled up
into the containing query, and no quals will be pushed down into it,
so that no function or operator chosen by the user can be applied to
rows not exposed by the view. Views not configured with this
option cannot provide robust row-level security, but will perform far
better.

The original coding of this function overlooked the possibility that
it could be passed anything except simple OpExpr indexquals. But
ScalarArrayOpExpr is possible too, and the code would probably crash
(and surely give ridiculous answers) in such a case. Add logic to try
to estimate sanely for such cases.
In passing, fix the treatment of inner-indexscan cost estimation: it was
failing to scale up properly for multiple iterations of a nestloop.
(I think somebody might've thought that index_pages_fetched() is linear,
but of course it's not.)
Report, diagnosis, and preliminary patch by Marti Raudsepp; I refactored
it a bit and fixed the cost estimation.
Back-patch into 9.1 where the bogus code was introduced.

This adds support for the more or less SQL-conforming USAGE privilege
on types and domains. The intent is to be able restrict which users
can create dependencies on types, which restricts the way in which
owners can alter types.

This makes them enforceable only on the parent table, not on children
tables. This is useful in various situations, per discussion involving
people bitten by the restrictive behavior introduced in 8.4.

SP-GiST is comparable to GiST in flexibility, but supports non-balanced
partitioned search structures rather than balanced trees. As described at
PGCon 2011, this new indexing structure can beat GiST in both index build
time and query speed for search problems that it is well matched to.
There are a number of areas that could still use improvement, but at this
point the code seems committable.

This works the same as include, except that an error is not thrown

I forgot to change the functions to use the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro,
when I changed DatumGetInetP() to unpack the datum, like Datum*P macros
usually do. Also, I screwed up the definition of the PG_GETARG_INET_PP()
macro, and didn't notice because it wasn't used.
This fixes the memory leak when sorting inet values, as reported
by Jochen Erwied and debugged by Andres Freund. Backpatch to 8.3, like
the previous patch that broke it.

This situation won't set errno, so using %m will give an incorrect

Instead, add a function pg_tablespace_location(oid) used to return

Doing it this way makes it possible to relocate a tablespace when the
database is down by simply changing the symbolic link.

This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally
provide non-SQL-callable support functions for sorting. In the initial
patch, we only use this to provide a directly-callable comparator function,
which can be invoked with a bit less overhead than the traditional
SQL-callable comparator. While that should be of value in itself, the real
reason for doing this is to provide a datatype-extensible framework for
more aggressive optimizations, as in Peter Geoghegan's recent work.

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.

In the previous coding, callers were faced with an awkward choice:
look up the name, do permissions checks, and then lock the table; or
look up the name, lock the table, and then do permissions checks.
The first choice was wrong because the results of the name lookup
and permissions checks might be out-of-date by the time the table
lock was acquired, while the second allowed a user with no privileges
to interfere with access to a table by users who do have privileges
(e.g. if a malicious backend queues up for an AccessExclusiveLock on
a table on which AccessShareLock is already held, further attempts
to access the table will be blocked until the AccessExclusiveLock
is obtained and the malicious backend's transaction rolls back).
To fix, allow callers of RangeVarGetRelid() to pass a callback which
gets executed after performing the name lookup but before acquiring
the relation lock. If the name lookup is retried (because
invalidation messages are received), the callback will be re-executed
as well, so we get the best of both worlds. RangeVarGetRelid() is
renamed to RangeVarGetRelidExtended(); callers not wishing to supply
a callback can continue to invoke it as RangeVarGetRelid(), which is
now a macro. Since the only one caller that uses nowait = true now
passes a callback anyway, the RangeVarGetRelid() macro defaults nowait
as well. The callback can also be used for supplemental locking - for
example, REINDEX INDEX needs to acquire the table lock before the index
lock to reduce deadlock possibilities.
There's a lot more work to be done here to fix all the cases where this
can be a problem, but this commit provides the general infrastructure
and fixes the following specific cases: REINDEX INDEX, REINDEX TABLE,
LOCK TABLE, and and DROP TABLE/INDEX/SEQUENCE/VIEW/FOREIGN TABLE.
Per discussion with Noah Misch and Alvaro Herrera.

On a platform that isn't supplying __FILE__, previous coding would either
crash or give a stale result for the filename string. Not sure how likely
that is, but the original code catered for it, so let's keep doing so.
|
|
In vpath builds, the __FILE__ macro that is used in verbose error
reports contains the full absolute file name, which makes the error
messages excessively verbose. So keep only the base name, thus
matching the behavior of non-vpath builds.

In the original implementation, a range-contained-by search had to scan
the entire index because an empty range could be lurking anywhere.
Improve that by adding a flag to upper GiST entries that says whether the
represented subtree contains any empty ranges.
Also, make a simple mod to the penalty function to discourage empty ranges
from getting pushed into subtrees without any. This needs more work, and
the picksplit function should be taught about it too, but that code can be
improved without causing an on-disk compatibility break; so we'll leave it
for another day.
Since we're breaking on-disk compatibility of range values anyway, I took
the opportunity to reorganize the range flags bits; the unused
RANGE_xB_NULL bits are now adjacent, which might open the door for using
them in some other way later.
In passing, remove the GiST range opclass entry for <>, which doesn't seem
like it can really be indexed usefully.

In the cases where the result of the called proc is negated, we should
explicitly test both inputs for empty, to ensure we'll never return "true"
for an unsatisfiable query. In other cases we can rely on the called proc
to say the right thing.

This adds some I/O stats to the logging of autovacuum (when the
operation takes long enough that log_autovacuum_min_duration causes it
to be logged), so that it is easier to tune. Notably, it adds buffer
I/O counts (hits, misses, dirtied) and read and write rate.

This speeds up snapshot-taking and reduces ProcArrayLock contention.
Also, the PGPROC (and PGXACT) structures used by two-phase commit are
now allocated as part of the main array, rather than in a separate
array, and we keep ProcArray sorted in pointer order. These changes
are intended to minimize the number of cache lines that must be pulled
in to take a snapshot, and testing shows a substantial increase in
performance on both read and write workloads at high concurrencies.

The original coding would not work for discrete ranges in which the
canonicalization rule is to produce symmetric boundaries (either [] or ()
style), as noted by Jeff Davis. Florian Pflug pointed out that we could
fix that by invoking the canonicalization function to see if the range
"between" the two given ranges normalizes to empty. This implementation
of Florian's idea is a tad slower than the original code, but only in the
case where there actually is a canonicalization function --- if not, it's
essentially the same logic as before.

It's not clear that a per-datatype typanalyze function would be any more
useful than a generic typanalyze for ranges. What *is* clear is that
letting unprivileged users select typanalyze functions is a crash risk or
worse. So remove the option from CREATE TYPE AS RANGE, and instead put in
a generic typanalyze function for ranges. The generic function does
nothing as yet, but hopefully we'll improve that before 9.2 release.

Per discussion, the zero-argument forms aren't really worth the catalog
space (just write 'empty' instead). The one-argument forms have some use,
but they also have a serious problem with looking too much like functional
cast notation; to the point where in many real use-cases, the parser would
misinterpret what was wanted.
Committing this as a separate patch, with the thought that we might want
to revert part or all of it if we can think of some way around the cast
ambiguity.

Implement these tests directly instead of constructing a singleton range
and then applying range-contains. This saves a range serialize/deserialize
cycle as well as a couple of redundant bound-comparison steps, and adds
very little code on net.
Remove elem_contained_by_range from the GiST opclass: it doesn't belong
there because there is no way to use it in an index clause (where the
indexed column would have to be on the left). Its commutator is in the
opclass, and that's what counts.
|
|
Per discussion, relax the range input/construction rules so that the
only hard error is lower bound > upper bound. Cases where the lower
bound is <= upper bound, but the range nonetheless normalizes to empty,
are now permitted.
Fix core dump in range_adjacent when bounds are infinite. Marginal
cleanup of regression test cases, some more code commenting.

Fix up some infelicitous coding in DefineRange, and add some missing error
checks. Rearrange operator strategy number assignments for GiST anyrange
opclass so that they don't make such a mess of opr_sanity's table of
operator names associated with different strategy numbers. Assign
hopefully-temporary selectivity estimators to range operators that didn't
have one --- poor as the estimates are, they're still a lot better than the
default 0.5 estimate, and they'll shut up the opr_sanity test that wants to
see selectivity estimators on all built-in operators.

Cache the the element type's I/O info across calls, not only the range
type's info. In passing, also clean up hash_range a bit more.
|
|
Move the responsibility for caching specialized information about range
types into the type cache, so that the catalog lookups only have to occur
once per session. Rearrange APIs a bit so that fn_extra caching is
actually effective in the GiST support code. (Use of OidFunctionCallN is
bad enough for performance in itself, but it also prevents the function
from exploiting fn_extra caching.)
The range I/O functions are still not very bright about caching repeated
lookups, but that seems like material for a separate patch.
Also, avoid unnecessary use of memcpy to fetch/store the range type OID and
flags, and don't use the full range_deserialize machinery when all we need
to see is the flags value.
Also fix API error in range_gist_penalty --- it was failing to set *penalty
for any case involving an empty range.
|

A range type whose element type has 'd' alignment must have 'd' alignment
itself, else there is no guarantee that the element value can be used
in-place. (Because range_deserialize uses att_align_pointer which forcibly
aligns the given pointer, violations of this rule did not lead to SIGBUS
but rather to garbage data being extracted, as in one of the added
regression test cases.)
Also, you can't put a toast pointer inside a range datum, since the
referenced value could disappear with the range datum still present.
For consistency with the handling of arrays and records, I also forced
decompression of in-line-compressed bound values. It would work to store
them as-is, but our policy is to avoid situations that might result in
double compression.
Add assorted regression tests for this, and bump catversion because of
fixes to built-in pg_type entries.
Also some marginal cleanup of inconsistent/unnecessary error checks.
|
|
Change range_lower and range_upper to return NULL rather than throwing an
error when the input range is empty or the relevant bound is infinite. Per
discussion, throwing an error seems likely to be unduly hard to work with.
Also, this is more consistent with the behavior of the constructors, which
treat NULL as meaning an infinite bound.
|
|
Change range_before, range_after, range_adjacent to return false rather
than throwing an error when one or both input ranges are empty.
The original definition is unnecessarily difficult to use, and also can
result in undesirable planner failures since the planner could try to
compare an empty range to something else while deriving statistical
estimates. (This was, in fact, the cause of repeatable regression test
failures on buildfarm member jaguar, as well as intermittent failures
elsewhere.)
Also tweak rangetypes regression test to not drop all the objects it
creates, so that the final state of the regression database contains
some rangetype objects for pg_dump testing.

Patch by me, bug report by Chris Redekop, analysis by Florian Pflug

If a tuple in a syscache contains an out-of-line toasted field, and we
try to fetch that field shortly after some other transaction has committed
an update or deletion of the tuple, there is a race condition: vacuum
could come along and remove the toast tuples before we can fetch them.
This leads to transient failures like "missing chunk number 0 for toast
value NNNNN in pg_toast_2619", as seen in recent reports from Andrew
Hammond and Tim Uckun.
The design idea of syscache is that access to stale syscache entries
should be prevented by relation-level locks, but that fails for at least
two cases where toasted fields are possible: ANALYZE updates pg_statistic
rows without locking out sessions that might want to plan queries on the
same table, and CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION updates pg_proc rows without
any meaningful lock at all.
The least risky fix seems to be an idea that Heikki suggested when we
were dealing with a related problem back in August: forcibly detoast any
out-of-line fields before putting a tuple into syscache in the first place.
This avoids the problem because at the time we fetch the parent tuple from
the catalog, we should be holding an MVCC snapshot that will prevent
removal of the toast tuples, even if the parent tuple is outdated
immediately after we fetch it. (Note: I'm not convinced that this
statement holds true at every instant where we could be fetching a syscache
entry at all, but it does appear to hold true at the times where we could
fetch an entry that could have a toasted field. We will need to be a bit
wary of adding toast tables to low-level catalogs that don't have them
already.) An additional benefit is that subsequent uses of the syscache
entry should be faster, since they won't have to detoast the field.
Back-patch to all supported versions. The problem is significantly harder
to reproduce in pre-9.0 releases, because of their willingness to flush
every entry in a syscache whenever the underlying catalog is vacuumed
(cf CatalogCacheFlushRelation); but there is still a window for trouble.

The POSIX spec defines locale fields for controlling the ordering of the
value, sign, and currency symbol in monetary output, but cash_out only
supported a small subset of these options. Fully implement p/n_sign_posn,
p/n_cs_precedes, and p/n_sep_by_space per spec. Fix up cash_in so that
it will accept all these format variants.
Also, make sure that thousands_sep is only inserted to the left of the
decimal point, as required by spec.
Per bug #6144 from Eduard Kracmar and discussion of bug #6277. This patch
includes some ideas from Alexander Lakhin's proposed patch, though it is
very different in detail.
