That caused the plpython_unicode regression test to fail on SQL_ASCII
encoding, as evidenced by the buildfarm. The reason is that with the patch,
you don't get the detail in the error message that you got before. That
detail is actually very informative, so rather than just adjust the expected
output, let's revert that part of the patch for now to make the buildfarm
green again, and figure out some other way to avoid the recursion of
PLy_elog() that doesn't lose the detail.
Windows encodings, "win1252" and so forth, are named differently in Python,
like "cp1252". Also, if the PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() function call fails
for some reason, use a plain ereport(), not a PLy_elog(), to report that
error. That avoids recursion and crash, if PLy_elog() tries to call
PLyUnicode_Bytes() again.
This fixes bug reported by Asif Naeem. Backpatch down to 9.0, before that
plpython didn't even try these conversions.

This makes it possible for the master to track how much data has
actually been written my pg_receivexlog - and not just how much
has been sent towards it.
This ensures that a standby such as pg_receivexlog will not be selected
as sync standby - which would cause the master to block waiting for
a location that could never happen.

This hasn't been true since 9.1, when the default was changed to -1.
Remove the reference completely, keeping the discussion of the parameter
and it's shared memory effects on the config page.
Per bug #6593, REASSIGN OWNED fails when the affected role has created
an extension. Even though the user related to the extension is not
nominally the owner, its OID appears on pg_shdepend and thus causes
problems when the user is to be dropped.
This commit adds code to change the "ownership" of the extension itself,
not of the contained objects. This is fine because it's currently only
called from REASSIGN OWNED, which would also modify the ownership of the
contained objects. However, this is not sufficient for a working ALTER
OWNER implementation extension.
Back-patch to 9.1, where extensions were introduced.
Bug #6593 reported by Emiliano Leporati.
A thinko in commit 029dfdf1157b6d837a7b7211cd35b00c6bcd767c caused the year
519 to be handled differently from either adjacent year, which was not the
intention AFAICS. Report and diagnosis by Marc Cousin.
In passing, remove redundant re-tests of year value.
When (re) loading the typcache comparison cache for an enum type's values,
use an up-to-date MVCC snapshot, not the transaction's existing snapshot.
This avoids problems if we encounter an enum OID that was created since our
transaction started. Per report from Andres Freund and diagnosis by Robert
Haas.
To ensure this is safe even if enum comparison manages to get invoked
before we've set a transaction snapshot, tweak GetLatestSnapshot to
redirect to GetTransactionSnapshot instead of throwing error when
FirstSnapshotSet is false. The existing uses of GetLatestSnapshot (in
ri_triggers.c) don't care since they couldn't be invoked except in a
transaction that's already done some work --- but it seems just conceivable
that this might not be true of enums, especially if we ever choose to use
enums in system catalogs.
Note that the comparable coding in enum_endpoint and enum_range_internal
remains GetTransactionSnapshot; this is perhaps debatable, but if we
changed it those functions would have to be marked volatile, which doesn't
seem attractive.
Back-patch to 9.1 where ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE was added.
If a CHECK constraint or index definition contained a whole-row Var (that
is, "table.*"), an attempt to copy that definition via CREATE TABLE LIKE or
table inheritance produced incorrect results: the copied Var still claimed
to have the rowtype of the source table, rather than the created table.
For the LIKE case, it seems reasonable to just throw error for this
situation, since the point of LIKE is that the new table is not permanently
coupled to the old, so there's no reason to assume its rowtype will stay
compatible. In the inheritance case, we should ideally allow such
constraints, but doing so will require nontrivial refactoring of CREATE
TABLE processing (because we'd need to know the OID of the new table's
rowtype before we adjust inherited CHECK constraints). In view of the lack
of previous complaints, that doesn't seem worth the risk in a back-patched
bug fix, so just make it throw error for the inheritance case as well.
Along the way, replace change_varattnos_of_a_node() with a more robust
function map_variable_attnos(), which is capable of being extended to
handle insertion of ConvertRowtypeExpr whenever we get around to fixing
the inheritance case nicely, and in the meantime it returns a failure
indication to the caller so that a helpful message with some context can be
thrown. Also, this code will do the right thing with subselects (if we
ever allow them in CHECK or indexes), and it range-checks varattnos before
using them to index into the map array.
Per report from Sergey Konoplev. Back-patch to all supported branches.
Change things so that something like initdb --auth-local=peer
--auth-host=md5 does not cause a "must specify a password" error,
like initdb -A md5 does.
This bug was introduced by commit 20d98ab6e4110087d1816cd105a40fcc8ce0a307,
so backpatch this to 9.0-9.2 like that one.
This fixes bug #6710, reported by Tarvi Pillessaar
Now the log file not only contains the output from commands executed by
system(), but also what command it was in the first place. This
arrangement makes debugging a lot simpler.
The LISTEN/NOTIFY subsystem got confused if SimpleLruZeroPage failed,
which would typically happen as a result of a write() failure while
attempting to dump a dirty pg_notify page out of memory. Subsequently,
all attempts to send more NOTIFY messages would fail with messages like
"Could not read from file "pg_notify/nnnn" at offset nnnnn: Success".
Only restarting the server would clear this condition. Per reports from
Kevin Grittner and Christoph Berg.
Back-patch to 9.0, where the problem was introduced during the
LISTEN/NOTIFY rewrite.
The callers of UtilityContainsQuery want it to return a non-utility Query
if it returns anything at all. However, since we made CREATE TABLE
AS/SELECT INTO into a utility command instead of a variant of SELECT,
a command like "EXPLAIN SELECT INTO" results in two nested utility
statements. So what we need UtilityContainsQuery to do is drill down
to the bottom non-utility Query.
I had thought of this possibility in setrefs.c, and fixed it there by
looping around the UtilityContainsQuery call; but overlooked that the call
sites in plancache.c have a similar issue. In those cases it's
notationally inconvenient to provide an external loop, so let's redefine
UtilityContainsQuery as recursing down to a non-utility Query instead.
Noted by Rushabh Lathia. This is a somewhat cleaned-up version of his
proposed patch.
A similar change was made previously for pg_cancel_backend, so now it
all matches again.

The original coding failed miserably for BLCKSZ of 4K or less, as reported
by Josh Kupershmidt. With the present design for text indexes, a given
inner tuple could have up to 256 labels (requiring either 3K or 4K bytes
depending on MAXALIGN), which means that we can't positively guarantee no
failures for smaller blocksizes. But we can at least make it behave sanely
so long as there are few enough labels to fit on a page. Considering that
btree is also more prone to "index tuple too large" failures when BLCKSZ is
small, it's not clear that we should expend more work than this on this
case.
While pg_dump has included dependency information in archive-format output
ever since 7.3, it never made any large effort to ensure that that
information was actually useful. In particular, in common situations where
dependency chains include objects that aren't separately emitted in the
dump, the dependencies shown for objects that were emitted would reference
the dump IDs of these un-dumped objects, leaving no clue about which other
objects the visible objects indirectly depend on. So far, parallel
pg_restore has managed to avoid tripping over this misfeature, but only
by dint of some crude hacks like not trusting dependency information in
the pre-data section of the archive.
It seems prudent to do something about this before it rises up to bite us,
so instead of emitting the "raw" dependencies of each dumped object,
recursively search for its actual dependencies among the subset of objects
that are being dumped.
Back-patch to 9.2, since that code hasn't yet diverged materially from
HEAD. At some point we might need to back-patch further, but right now
there are no known cases where this is actively necessary. (The one known
case, bug #6699, is fixed in a different way by my previous patch.) Since
this patch depends on 9.2 changes that made TOC entries be marked before
output commences as to whether they'll be dumped, back-patching further
would require additional surgery; and as of now there's no evidence that
it's worth the risk.
As of 9.2, with the --section option, it is very important that the concept
of "pre data", "data", and "post data" sections of the output be honored
strictly; else a dump divided into separate sectional files might be
unrestorable. However, the dependency-sorting logic knew nothing of
sections and would happily select output orderings that didn't fit that
structure. Doing so was mostly harmless before 9.2, but now we need to be
sure it doesn't do that. To fix, create dummy objects representing the
section boundaries and add dependencies between them and all the normal
objects. (This might sound expensive but it seems to only add a percent or
two to pg_dump's runtime.)
This also fixes a problem introduced in 9.1 by the feature that allows
incomplete GROUP BY lists when a primary key is given in GROUP BY.
That means that views can depend on primary key constraints. Previously,
pg_dump would deal with that by simply emitting the primary key constraint
before the view definition (and hence before the data section of the
output). That's bad enough for simple serial restores, where creating an
index before the data is loaded works, but is undesirable for speed
reasons. But it could lead to outright failure of parallel restores, as
seen in bug #6699 from Joe Van Dyk. That happened because pg_restore would
switch into parallel mode as soon as it reached the constraint, and then
very possibly would try to emit the view definition before the primary key
was committed (as a consequence of another bug that causes the view not to
be correctly marked as depending on the constraint). Adding the section
boundary constraints forces the dependency-sorting code to break the view
into separate table and rule declarations, allowing the rule, and hence the
primary key constraint it depends on, to revert to their intended location
in the post-data section. This also somewhat accidentally works around the
bogus-dependency-marking problem, because the rule will be correctly shown
as depending on the constraint, so parallel pg_restore will now do the
right thing. (We will fix the bogus-dependency problem for real in a
separate patch, but that patch is not easily back-portable to 9.1, so the
fact that this patch is enough to dodge the only known symptom is
fortunate.)
Back-patch to 9.1, except for the hunk that adds verification that the
finished archive TOC list is in correct section order; the place where
it was convenient to add that doesn't exist in 9.1.
Repeated execution of an uncorrelated ARRAY_SUBLINK sub-select (which
I think can only happen if the sub-select is embedded in a larger,
correlated subquery) would leak memory for the duration of the query,
due to not reclaiming the array generated in the previous execution.
Per bug #6698 from Armando Miraglia. Diagnosis and fix idea by Heikki,
patch itself by me.
This has been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported versions.
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders. Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.
Since this is the easy way of doing it, it should be listed first. All
the old information is retained for those who want the more advanced way.
Also adds a subheading for compressing logs, that seems to have been missing
Because permissions are assigned to element types, not array types,
complaining about permission denied on an array type would be
misleading to users. So adjust the reporting to refer to the element
type instead.
In order not to duplicate the required logic in two dozen places,
refactor the permission denied reporting for types a bit.

feature
Instead of identifying error locations only by line number (which could
be entirely unhelpful with long input lines), provide a fragment of the
input text too, placing this info in a new CONTEXT entry. Make the
error detail messages conform more closely to style guidelines, fix
failure to expose some of them for translation, ensure compiler can
check formats against supplied parameters.
This reverts commit 18fb9d8d21a28caddb72c7ffbdd7b96d52ff9724. Per
discussion, it does not seem like a good idea to allow committed changes to
go un-checkpointed indefinitely, as could happen in a low-traffic server;
that makes us entirely reliant on the WAL stream with no redundancy that
might aid data recovery in case of disk failure.
This re-introduces the original problem of hot-standby setups generating a
small continuing stream of WAL traffic even when idle, but there are other
ways to address that without compromising crash recovery, so we'll revisit
that issue in a future release cycle.
Aside from adjusting the documentation to say that these are deprecated,
we now report a warning (not an error) for use of GLOBAL, since it seems
fairly likely that we might change that to request SQL-spec-compliant temp
table behavior in the foreseeable future. Although our handling of LOCAL
is equally nonstandard, there is no evident interest in ever implementing
SQL modules, and furthermore some other products interpret LOCAL as
behaving the same way we do. So no expectation of change and no warning
for LOCAL; but it still seems a good idea to deprecate writing it.

The simplest way to handle this is just to copy-and-paste the relevant
code block in fork_process.c, so that's what I did. (It's possible that
something more complicated would be useful to packagers who want to work
with either the old or the new API; but at this point the number of such
people is rapidly approaching zero, so let's just get the minimal thing
done.) Update relevant documentation as well.
