Various places were testing TRIGGER_FIRED_BEFORE() where what they really
meant was !TRIGGER_FIRED_AFTER(), or vice versa. This needs to be cleaned
up because there are about to be more than two possible states.
We might want to note this in the 9.1 release notes as something for
trigger authors to double-check.
For consistency's sake I also changed some places that assumed that
TRIGGER_FIRED_FOR_ROW and TRIGGER_FIRED_FOR_STATEMENT are necessarily
mutually exclusive; that's not in immediate danger of breaking, but
it's still sloppier than it should be.
Extracted from Dean Rasheed's patch for triggers on views. I'm committing
this separately since it's an identifiable separate issue, and is the
only reason for the patch to touch most of these particular files.
This patch resurrects some of the information that could be logged by the
old, now-dead implementation of VACUUM FULL, in particular counts of live
and dead tuples and the time taken for the table rebuild proper. There's
still no logging about the ensuing index rebuilds, though.

Use a macro LogicalTapeReadExact() to encapsulate the error check when
we want to read an exact number of bytes from a "tape". Per a suggestion
of Takahiro Itagaki.
This patch eliminates per-chunk palloc overhead for most small allocations
needed in the representation of an ispell dictionary. This saves close to
a factor of 2 on the current Czech ispell data. While it doesn't cover
every last small allocation in the ispell code, we are at the point of
diminishing returns, because about 95% of the allocations are covered
already.
Pavel Stehule, rather heavily revised by Tom
Add explicit initialization and cleanup functions to spell.c, and keep
all working state in the already-existing ISpellDict struct. This lets us
get rid of a static variable along with some extremely shaky assumptions
about usage of child memory contexts.
This commit is just code beautification and has no impact on functionality
or performance, but it opens the way to a less-grotty implementation of
Pavel's memory-saving hack, which will follow shortly.
In versions 8.2 and up, the grammar allows attaching ORDER BY, LIMIT,
FOR UPDATE, or WITH to VALUES, and hence to INSERT ... VALUES. But the
special-case code for VALUES in transformInsertStmt() wasn't expecting any
of those, and just ignored them, leading to unexpected results. Rather
than complicate the special-case path, just ensure that the presence of any
of those clauses makes us treat the query as if it had a general SELECT.
Per report from Hitoshi Harada.
Actually making this case work, if the column is used in the trigger's
WHEN condition, will take some new code that probably isn't appropriate
to back-patch. For now, just throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error rather
than allowing control to reach the "unexpected object" case. Per bug #5688
from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where the possibility of such a
dependency was introduced.
The point of a PlaceHolderVar is to allow a non-strict expression to be
evaluated below an outer join, after which its value bubbles up like a Var
and can be forced to NULL when the outer join's semantics require that.
However, there was a serious design oversight in that, namely that we
didn't ensure that there was actually a correct place in the plan tree
to evaluate the placeholder :-(. It may be necessary to delay evaluation
of an outer join to ensure that a placeholder that should be evaluated
below the join can be evaluated there. Per recent bug report from Kirill
Simonov.
Back-patch to 8.4 where the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was introduced.
This is intended as infrastructure to support integration with label-based
mandatory access control systems such as SE-Linux. Further changes (mostly
hooks) will be needed, but this is a big chunk of it.

The previous coding would decide that join removal was unsafe upon finding
a PlaceHolderVar that needed to be evaluated at the inner rel and then used
above the join. However, this fails to cover the case of PlaceHolderVars
that refer to both the inner rel and some other rels. Per bug report from
Andrus.
hasn't been set.
The only known case where this can happen is when show_session_authorization
is invoked in an autovacuum process, which is possible if an index function
calls it, as for example in bug #5669 from Andrew Geery. We could perhaps
try to return a sensible value, such as the name of the cluster-owning
superuser; but that seems like much more trouble than the case is worth,
and in any case it could create new possible failure modes. Simply
returning an empty string seems like the most appropriate fix.
Back-patch to all supported versions, even those before autovacuum, just
in case there's another way to provoke this crash.
In some situations the original coding led to corrupting the child AppendRel's
subpaths list, effectively adding other members of the parent's list to it.
This was usually masked because we never made any further use of the child's
list, but given the right combination of circumstances, we could do so. The
visible symptom would be a relation getting scanned twice, as in bug #5673
from David Schmitt.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is as far back as the risky coding appears. The
example submitted by David only fails in 8.4 and later, but I'm not convinced
that there aren't any even-more-obscure cases where 8.2 and 8.3 would fail.
We can't actually print the parent RelOptInfo in toto, because that would
lead to infinite recursion. But it's safe enough to reach into the parent
and print its identifying relids, and that makes it a whole lot easier
to figure out what a Path represents. Should have done this years ago.
This was unintentionally broken in 8.4 while tightening up checking of
ordinary non-Julian date inputs to forbid references to "year zero".
Per bug #5672 from Benjamin Gigot.
Poking around for remaining occurrences of CVS keyword strings, I came
across one that apparently reflects the use of a $Revision: ...$ string
in the original input data. Dunno why anybody would be using that in
an MTA's Received: lines, but there it is. Put it back to the way that
it was originally, according to inspection of the CVS repo.
The previous coding just terminated the COPY immediately after seeing
the EOF marker (-1 where a row field count is expected). The expected
CopyDone or CopyFail message just got thrown away later, since we weren't
in COPY mode anymore. This behavior complicated matters for the JDBC
driver, and arguably was the wrong thing in any case since a CopyFail
message after the marker wouldn't be honored.
Note that there is a behavioral change here: extra data after the EOF
marker was silently ignored before, but now it will cause an error.
Hence not back-patching, although this is arguably a bug.
Per report and patch by Kris Jurka.
the same number of columns expected by the insert. This suggests that there
were extra parentheses that converted the intended column list into a row
expression.
Original patch by Marko Tiikkaja, rather heavily editorialized by me.
since it can happen when a process fails to start when the system
is under high load.
Per several bug reports and many peoples investigation.
Back-patch to 8.4, which is as far back as the "deadman-switch"
for shared memory access exists.
new WAL arrives via streaming replication. This reduces the latency, and
also allows us to use a longer polling interval, which is good for energy
efficiency.
We still need to poll to check for the appearance of a trigger file, but
the interval is now 5 seconds (instead of 100ms), like when waiting for
a new WAL segment to appear in WAL archive.
dynamic pool of event handles, we can permanently assign one for each
shared latch. Thanks to that, we no longer need a separate shared memory
block for latches, and we don't need to know in advance how many shared
latches there is, so you no longer need to remember to update
NumSharedLatches when you introduce a new latch to the system.
In these cases a qual can get marked with the removable rel in its
required_relids, but this is just to schedule its evaluation correctly, not
because it really depends on the rel. We were assuming that, in effect,
we could throw away *all* quals so marked, which is nonsense. Tighten up
the logic to be a little more paranoid about which quals belong to the
outer join being considered for removal, and arrange for all quals that
don't belong to be updated so they will still get evaluated correctly.
Also fix another problem that happened to be exposed by this test case,
which was that make_join_rel() was failing to notice some cases where
a constant-false qual could be used to prove a join relation empty. If it's
a pushed-down constant false, then the relation is empty even if it's an
outer join, because the qual applies after the outer join expansion.
Per report from Nathan Grange. Back-patch into 9.0.
make sense for walsender, but for example application_name and client_encoding
do. We still don't apply per-role settings from pg_db_role_setting, because
that would require connecting to a database to read the table.

transaction snapshots, i.e. a snapshot registered at the beginning of
a transaction. Change variable naming and comments to reflect this reality
in preparation for a future, truly serializable mode, e.g.
Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI).
For the moment transaction snapshots are still used to implement
SERIALIZABLE, but hopefully not for too much longer. Patch by Kevin
Grittner and Dan Ports with review and some minor wording changes by me.
wait until it is set. Latches can be used to reliably wait until a signal
arrives, which is hard otherwise because signals don't interrupt select()
on some platforms, and even when they do, there's race conditions.
On Unix, latches use the so called self-pipe trick under the covers to
implement the sleep until the latch is set, without race conditions. On
Windows, Windows events are used.
Use the new latch abstraction to sleep in walsender, so that as soon as
a transaction finishes, walsender is woken up to immediately send the WAL
to the standby. This reduces the latency between master and standby, which
is good.
Preliminary work by Fujii Masao. The latch implementation is by me, with
helpful comments from many people.
Peter's original patch had this right, but I dropped the check while revising
the code to search pg_constraint instead of pg_index. Spotted by Dean Rasheed.
A long time ago, this didn't work nicely, but it seems to work on all recent
versions of OS X. The blank-pad method is less desirable since it results
in lots of extra space in ps' output. Per Alexey Klyukin.
Since the code underlying pg_get_expr() is not secure against malformed
input, and can't practically be made so, we need to prevent miscreants
from feeding arbitrary data to it. We can do this securely by declaring
pg_get_expr() to take a new datatype "pg_node_tree" and declaring the
system catalog columns that hold nodeToString output to be of that type.
There is no way at SQL level to create a non-null value of type pg_node_tree.
Since the backend-internal operations that fill those catalog columns
operate below the SQL level, they are oblivious to the datatype relabeling
and don't need any changes.
SI invalidation events, rather than indirectly through the relcache.
In the previous coding, we had to flush a composite-type typcache entry
whenever we discarded the corresponding relcache entry. This caused problems
at least when testing with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as shown in recent report
from Jeff Davis, and might result in real-world problems given the kind of
unexpected relcache flush that that test mechanism is intended to model.
The new coding decouples relcache and typcache management, which is a good
thing anyway from a structural perspective. The cost is that we have to
search the typcache linearly to find entries that need to be flushed. There
are a couple of ways we could avoid that, but at the moment it's not clear
it's worth any extra trouble, because the typcache contains very few entries
in typical operation.
Back-patch to 8.2, the same as some other recent fixes in this general area.
The patch could be carried back to 8.0 with some additional work, but given
that it's only hypothetical whether we're fixing any problem observable in
the field, it doesn't seem worth the work now.
initialize the rd_backend field of a fake Relation entry correctly.
Fortunately, that is easy, since only non-temp relations should ever be
mentioned in the WAL stream.
