This is reproducibly possible in Python 2.7 if the user turned
PendingDeprecationWarning into an error, but it's theoretically also possible
in earlier versions in case of exceptional conditions.
backpatched to 8.0
(_PG_init should be called only once anyway, but as long as it's got an
internal guard against repeat calls, that should be in front of the
version check.)
memory if the result had zero rows, and also if there was any sort of error
while converting the result tuples into Python data. Reported and partially
fixed by Andres Freund.
Back-patch to all supported versions. Note: I haven't tested the 7.4 fix.
7.4's configure check for python is so obsolete it doesn't work on my
current machines :-(. The logic change is pretty straightforward though.
In PLy_spi_execute_plan, use the data-type specific Python-to-PostgreSQL
conversion function instead of passing everything through InputFunctionCall
as a string. The equivalent fix was already done months ago for function
parameters and return values, but this other gateway between Python and
PostgreSQL was apparently forgotten. As a result, data types that need
special treatment, such as bytea, would misbehave when used with
plpy.execute.
old memory context in plpython. Before only one of them was marked
volatile, but per report from Zdenek Kotala, some compilers do the
wrong thing here.
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

Mimic the Python interpreter's own logic for printing exceptions instead
of just using the straight str() call, so that
you get
plpy.SPIError
instead of
<class 'plpy.SPIError'>
and for built-in exceptions merely
UnicodeEncodeError
Besides looking better this cuts down on the endless version differences
in the regression test expected files.
Behaves more or less unchanged compared to Python 2, but the new language
variant is called plpython3u. Documentation describing the naming scheme
is included.
In PLy_output(), when the elog() call in the TRY branch throws an exception
(this can happen when a statement timeout kicks in, for example), the
PyErr_SetString() call in the CATCH branch can cause a segfault, because the
Py_XDECREF(so) call before it releases memory that is still used by the sv
variable that PyErr_SetString() uses as argument, because sv points into
memory owned by so.
Backpatched back to 8.0, where this code was introduced.
I also threw in a couple of volatile declarations for variables that are used
before and after the TRY. I don't think they caused the crash that I
observed, but they could become issues.
Check calls of PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() for NULL return, probably
because the encoding name is not known. Add special treatment for
SQL_ASCII, which Python definitely does not know.
Since using SQL_ASCII produces errors in the regression tests when
non-ASCII characters are involved, we have to put back various regression
test result variants.
PL/Python now accepts Unicode objects where it previously only accepted string
objects (for example, as return value). Unicode objects are converted to the
PostgreSQL server encoding as necessary.
This change is also necessary for future Python 3 support, which treats all
strings as Unicode objects.
Since this removes the error conditions that the plpython_unicode test file
tested for, the alternative result files are no longer necessary.
Before, PL/Python converted data between SQL and Python by going
through a C string representation. This broke for bytea in two ways:
- On input (function parameters), you would get a Python string that
contains bytea's particular external representation with backslashes
etc., instead of a sequence of bytes, which is what you would expect
in a Python environment. This problem is exacerbated by the new
bytea output format.
- On output (function return value), null bytes in the Python string
would cause truncation before the data gets stored into a bytea
datum.
This is now fixed by converting directly between the PostgreSQL datum
and the Python representation.
The required generalized infrastructure also allows for other
improvements in passing:
- When returning a boolean value, the SQL datum is now true if and
only if Python considers the value that was passed out of the
PL/Python function to be true. Previously, this determination was
left to the boolean data type input function. So, now returning
'foo' results in true, because Python considers it true, rather than
false because PostgreSQL considers it false.
- On input, we can convert the integer and float types directly to
their Python equivalents without having to go through an
intermediate string representation.
original patch by Caleb Welton, with updates by myself
Extract the "while creating return value" and "while modifying trigger
row" parts of some error messages into another layer of error context.
This will simplify the upcoming patch to improve data type support, but
it can stand on its own.
Switch the implementation of the plan and result types to generic attribute
management, as described at <http://docs.python.org/extending/newtypes.html>.
This modernizes and simplifies the code a bit and prepares for Python 3.1,
where the old way doesn't work anymore.
When examining what Python type to convert a PostgreSQL type to on input,
look at the base type of the input type, otherwise all domains end up
defaulting to string.
Error messages from PL/Python now always mention the function name in the
CONTEXT: field. This also obsoletes the few places that tried to do the
same manually.
Regression test files are updated to work with Python 2.4-2.6. I don't have
access to older versions right now.
by extending the ereport() API to cater for pluralization directly. This
is better than the original method of calling ngettext outside the elog.c
code because (1) it avoids double translation, which wastes cycles and in
the worst case could give a wrong result; and (2) it avoids having to use
a different coding method in PL code than in the core backend. The
client-side uses of ngettext are not touched since neither of these concerns
is very pressing in the client environment. Per my proposal of yesterday.
for its arguments. Also add a regression test, since someone apparently
changed every single plpython test case to use only named parameters; else
we'd have noticed this sooner.
Euler Taveira de Oliveira, per a report from Alvaro
In the backend, I changed only a handful of exemplary or important-looking
instances to make use of the plural support; there is probably more work
there. For the rest of the source, this should cover all relevant cases.
and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al
(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.

so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type.
The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they
have to all be the same type).
It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch
doesn't do that.
This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on
patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc.

unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.
For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

a trigger's target table. The rowtype could change from one call to the
next, so cope in such cases, while avoiding doing repetitive catalog lookups.
Per bug #3847 from Mark Reid.
Backpatch to 8.2.x. Likely this fix should go further back, but I can't test
it because I no longer have a machine with a pre-2.5 Python installation.
(Maybe we should rethink that idea about not supporting Python 2.5 in the
older branches.)
from old versions of gcc. It's not clear to me that this is really
necessary for correctness, but less warnings are always good.
Per buildfarm results and local testing.
