Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions
|
||||||
|
(Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
|

</para>

|
<para>

The functions
|
||||||
|
<function>query_to_xml</function>,
|
||||||
|
<function>cursor_to_xml</function>,
|
||||||
|
<function>cursor_to_xmlschema</function>,
|
||||||
|
<function>query_to_xmlschema</function>, and
|
||||||
|
<function>query_to_xml_and_xmlschema</function>
|
||||||
|
should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
|
||||||
|
that might contain volatile operations. They were not, leading to a
|
||||||
|
risk of incorrect query optimization. This has been repaired for new
|
||||||
|
installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
|
||||||
|
installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
|
||||||
|
Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
|
||||||
|
case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
|
||||||
|
functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries. (Note that that
|
||||||
|
will need to be done in each database of the installation.) Another
|
||||||
|
option is to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a
|
||||||
|
version containing the corrected initial data.

Avoid re-using TOAST value OIDs that match dead-but-not-yet-vacuumed
|
||||||
|
TOAST entries (Pavan Deolasee)
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
|
||||||
|
TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
|
||||||
|
TOAST table. If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
|
||||||
|
in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
|
||||||
|
value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
|
||||||
|
persist until the dead entry was removed
|
||||||
|
by <command>VACUUM</command>. Fix by not selecting such OIDs when
|
||||||
|
creating a new TOAST entry.

Change <command>ANALYZE</command>'s algorithm for updating
|
||||||
|
<structname>pg_class</structname>.<structfield>reltuples</structfield>
|
||||||
|
(David Gould)
|

</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
|
||||||
|
were assumed to retain their old tuple density. In a large table
|
||||||
|
where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
|
||||||
|
pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
|
||||||
|
change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
|
||||||
|
change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
|
||||||
|
(<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
|
||||||
|
happening in the table. This has been observed to result
|
||||||
|
in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
|
||||||
|
reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming. To fix, assume
|
||||||
|
that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
|
||||||
|
sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
|
||||||
|
density observed within those pages to the whole table.

that might contain volatile operations. They were not, leading to a
|
||||||
|
risk of incorrect query optimization. This has been repaired for new
|
||||||
|
installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
|
||||||
|
installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
|
||||||
|
Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
|
||||||
|
case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
|
||||||
|
functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries. (Note that that
|
||||||
|
will need to be done in each database of the installation.) Another
|
||||||
|
option is to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a
|
||||||
|
version containing the corrected initial data.

Avoid re-using TOAST value OIDs that match dead-but-not-yet-vacuumed

</para>

Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
|
||||||
|
TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
|
||||||
|
TOAST table. If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
|
||||||
|
in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
|
||||||
|
value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
|
||||||
|
persist until the dead entry was removed
|
||||||
|
by <command>VACUUM</command>. Fix by not selecting such OIDs when
|
||||||
|
creating a new TOAST entry.

Change <command>ANALYZE</command>'s algorithm for updating

<para>
|

Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
|
||||||
|
were assumed to retain their old tuple density. In a large table
|
||||||
|
where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
|
||||||
|
pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
|
||||||
|
change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
|
||||||
|
change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
|
||||||
|
(<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
|
||||||
|
happening in the table. This has been observed to result
|
||||||
|
in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
|
||||||
|
reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming. To fix, assume
|
||||||
|
that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
|
||||||
|
sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
|
||||||
|
density observed within those pages to the whole table.

Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions

risk of incorrect query optimization. This has been repaired for new

|
installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing

installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
|

|
Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in

case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
|
||||||
|
functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries. (Note that that

will need to be done in each database of the installation.) Another

option is to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a

Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
|
||||||
|
TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
|
||||||
|
TOAST table. If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
|
||||||
|
in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
|
||||||
|
value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
|
||||||
|
persist until the dead entry was removed
|
||||||
|
by <command>VACUUM</command>. Fix by not selecting such OIDs when
|
||||||
|
creating a new TOAST entry.

Change <command>ANALYZE</command>'s algorithm for updating

|
(David Gould)

<para>
|
||||||
|
Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
|
||||||
|
were assumed to retain their old tuple density. In a large table
|
||||||
|
where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
|
||||||
|
pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
|
||||||
|
change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
|
||||||
|
change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
|
||||||
|
(<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
|
||||||
|
happening in the table. This has been observed to result
|
||||||
|
in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
|
||||||
|
reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming. To fix, assume
|
||||||
|
that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
|
||||||
|
sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
|
||||||
|
density observed within those pages to the whole table.
