The executor has thrown errors for negative OFFSET values since 8.4 (see
commit bfce56eea4), but in a moment of brain
fade I taught the planner that OFFSET with a constant negative value was a
no-op (commit 1a1832eb08). Reinstate the
former behavior by only discarding OFFSET with a value of exactly 0. In
passing, adjust a planner comment that referenced the ancient behavior.
Back-patch to 9.3 where the mistake was introduced.
get_raw_page tried to validate the supplied block number against
RelationGetNumberOfBlocks(), which of course is only right when
accessing the main fork. In most cases, the main fork is longer
than the others, so that the check was too weak (allowing a
lower-level error to be reported, but no real harm to be done).
However, very small tables could have an FSM larger than their heap,
in which case the mistake prevented access to some FSM pages.
Per report from Torsten Foertsch.
In passing, make the bad-block-number error into an ereport not elog
(since it's certainly not an internal error); and fix sloppily
maintained comment for RelationGetNumberOfBlocksInFork.
This has been wrong since we invented relation forks, so back-patch
to all supported branches.
With OpenLDAP versions 2.4.24 through 2.4.31, inclusive, PostgreSQL
backends can crash at exit. Raise a warning during "configure" based on
the compile-time OpenLDAP version number, and test the crash scenario in
the dblink test suite. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Unset environment variables that control message language, so that we
can compare some program output with expected strings. This is very
similar to what pg_regress does.
In commit 631dc390f4, we started to handle
simple numeric timezone offsets via the zic library instead of the old
CTimeZone/HasCTZSet kluge. However, we overlooked the fact that the zic
code will reject UTC offsets exceeding a week (which seems a bit arbitrary,
but not because it's too tight ...). This led to possibly setting
session_timezone to NULL, which results in crashes in most timezone-related
operations as of 9.4, and crashes in a small number of places even before
that. So check for NULL return from pg_tzset_offset() and report an
appropriate error message. Per bug #11014 from Duncan Gillis.
Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch.
(Unfortunately, as of today that no longer includes 8.4.)
In commit a61daa14d5, we fixed pg_upgrade so
that it would install sane relminmxid and datminmxid values, but that does
not cure the problem for installations that were already pg_upgraded to
9.3; they'll initially have "1" in those fields. This is not a big problem
so long as 1 is "in the past" compared to the current nextMultiXact
counter. But if an installation were more than halfway to the MXID wrap
point at the time of upgrade, 1 would appear to be "in the future" and
that would effectively disable tracking of oldest MXIDs in those
tables/databases, until such time as the counter wrapped around.
While in itself this isn't worse than the situation pre-9.3, where we did
not manage MXID wraparound risk at all, the consequences of premature
truncation of pg_multixact are worse now; so we ought to make some effort
to cope with this. We discussed advising users to fix the tracking values
manually, but that seems both very tedious and very error-prone.
Instead, this patch adopts two amelioration rules. First, a relminmxid
value that is "in the future" is allowed to be overwritten with a
full-table VACUUM's actual freeze cutoff, ignoring the normal rule that
relminmxid should never go backwards. (This essentially assumes that we
have enough defenses in place that wraparound can never occur anymore,
and thus that a value "in the future" must be corrupt.) Second, if we see
any "in the future" values then we refrain from truncating pg_clog and
pg_multixact. This prevents loss of clog data until we have cleaned up
all the broken tracking data. In the worst case that could result in
considerable clog bloat, but in practice we expect that relfrozenxid-driven
freezing will happen soon enough to fix the problem before clog bloat
becomes intolerable. (Users could do manual VACUUM FREEZEs if not.)
Note that this mechanism cannot save us if there are already-wrapped or
already-truncated-away MXIDs in the table; it's only capable of dealing
with corrupt tracking values. But that's the situation we have with the
pg_upgrade bug.
For consistency, apply the same rules to relfrozenxid/datfrozenxid. There
are not known mechanisms for these to get messed up, but if they were, the
same tactics seem appropriate for fixing them.
When a view has a function-returning-composite in FROM, and there are
some dropped columns in the underlying composite type, ruleutils.c
printed junk in the column alias list for the reconstructed FROM entry.
Before 9.3, this was prevented by doing get_rte_attribute_is_dropped
tests while printing the column alias list; but that solution is not
currently available to us for reasons I'll explain below. Instead,
check for empty-string entries in the alias list, which can only exist
if that column position had been dropped at the time the view was made.
(The parser fills in empty strings to preserve the invariant that the
aliases correspond to physical column positions.)
While this is sufficient to handle the case of columns dropped before
the view was made, we have still got issues with columns dropped after
the view was made. In particular, the view could contain Vars that
explicitly reference such columns! The dependency machinery really
ought to refuse the column drop attempt in such cases, as it would do
when trying to drop a table column that's explicitly referenced in
views. However, we currently neglect to store dependencies on columns
of composite types, and fixing that is likely to be too big to be
back-patchable (not to mention that existing views in existing databases
would not have the needed pg_depend entries anyway). So I'll leave that
for a separate patch.
Pre-9.3, ruleutils would print such Vars normally (with their original
column names) even though it suppressed their entries in the RTE's
column alias list. This is certainly bogus, since the printed view
definition would fail to reload, but at least it didn't crash. However,
as of 9.3 the printed column alias list is tightly tied to the names
printed for Vars; so we can't treat columns as dropped for one purpose
and not dropped for the other. This is why we can't just put back the
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped test: it results in an assertion failure
if the view in fact contains any Vars referencing the dropped column.
Once we've got dependencies preventing such cases, we'll probably want
to do it that way instead of relying on the empty-string test used here.
This fix turned up a very ancient bug in outfuncs/readfuncs, namely
that T_String nodes containing empty strings were not dumped/reloaded
correctly: the node was printed as "<>" which is read as a string
value of <>. Since (per SQL) we disallow empty-string identifiers,
such nodes don't occur normally, which is why we'd not noticed.
(Such nodes aren't used for literal constants, just identifiers.)
Per report from Marc Schablewski. Back-patch to 9.3 which is where
the rule printing behavior changed. The dangling-variable case is
broken all the way back, but that's not what his complaint is about.
~/.pgpass is a sound choice everywhere, and "peer" authentication is
safe on every platform it supports. Cease to recommend "trust"
authentication, the safety of which is deeply configuration-specific.
Back-patch to 9.0, where pg_upgrade was introduced.
If pg_regcomp failed after having invoked markst/cleanst, it would leak any
"struct subre" nodes it had created. (We've already detected all regex
syntax errors at that point, so the only likely causes of later failure
would be query cancel or out-of-memory.) To fix, make sure freesrnode
knows the difference between the pre-cleanst and post-cleanst cleanup
procedures. Add some documentation of this less-than-obvious point.
Also, newlacon did the wrong thing with an out-of-memory failure from
realloc(), so that the previously allocated array would be leaked.
Both of these are pretty low-probability scenarios, but a bug is a bug,
so patch all the way back.
Per bug #10976 from Arthur O'Dwyer.
The consistent function contained several bugs:
* The "if (which2) { ... }" block was broken. It compared the argument's
lower bound against centroid's upper bound, while it was supposed to compare
the argument's upper bound against the centroid's lower bound (the comment
was correct, code was wrong). Also, it cleared bits in the "which1"
variable, while it was supposed to clear bits in "which2".
* If the argument's upper bound was equal to the centroid's lower bound, we
descended to both halves (= all quadrants). That's unnecessary, searching
the right quadrants is sufficient. This didn't lead to incorrect query
results, but was clearly wrong, and slowed down queries unnecessarily.
* In the case that argument's lower bound is adjacent to the centroid's
upper bound, we also don't need to visit all quadrants. Per similar
reasoning as previous point.
* The code where we compare the previous centroid with the current centroid
should match the code where we compare the current centroid with the
argument. The point of that code is to redo the calculation done in the
previous level, to see if we were supposed to traverse left or right (or up
or down), and if we actually did. If we moved in the different direction,
then we know there are no matches for bound.
Refactor the code and adds comments to make it more readable and easier to
reason about.
Backpatch to 9.3 where SP-GiST support for range types was introduced.
Trying to reassign objects owned by a user that had text search
dictionaries or configurations used to fail with:
ERROR: unexpected classid 3600
or
ERROR: unexpected classid 3602
Fix by adding cases for those object types in a switch in pg_shdepend.c.
Both REASSIGN OWNED and text search objects go back all the way to 8.1,
so backpatch to all supported branches. In 9.3 the alter-owner code was
made generic, so the required change in recent branches is pretty
simple; however, for 9.2 and older ones we need some additional
reshuffling to enable specifying objects by OID rather than name.
Text search templates and parsers are not owned objects, so there's no
change required for them.
Per bug #9749 reported by Michal Novotný
Apparently we still build against OpenSSL so old that it doesn't
have this function, so add an autoconf check for it to make the
buildfarm happy. If the function doesn't exist, always return
that compression is disabled, since presumably the actual
compression functionality is always missing.
For now, hardcode the function as present on MSVC, since we should
hopefully be well beyond those old versions on that platform.
Both the psql banner and the connection logging already included
SSL status, cipher and bitlength, this adds the information about
compression being on or off.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows the information of the numbers of exact/lossy blocks which
bitmap heap scan processes. But, previously, when those numbers were both zero,
it displayed only the prefix "Heap Blocks:" in TEXT output format. This is strange
and would confuse the users. So this commit suppresses such unnecessary information.
Backpatch to 9.4 where EXPLAIN ANALYZE was changed so that such information was
displayed.

Commit 1b86c81d2d fixed the decoding of toasted columns for the rows
contained in one xl_heap_multi_insert record. But that's not actually
enough, because heap_multi_insert() will actually first toast all
passed in rows and then emit several *_multi_insert records; one for
each page it fills with tuples.
Add a XLOG_HEAP_LAST_MULTI_INSERT flag which is set in
xl_heap_multi_insert->flag denoting that this multi_insert record is
the last emitted by one heap_multi_insert() call. Then use that flag
in decode.c to only set clear_toast_afterwards in the right situation.
Expand the number of rows inserted via COPY in the corresponding
regression test to make sure that more than one heap page is filled
with tuples by one heap_multi_insert() call.
Backpatch to 9.4 like the previous commit.
ExecEvalWholeRowVar incorrectly supposed that it could "bless" the source
TupleTableSlot just once per query. But if the input is coming from an
Append (or, perhaps, other cases?) more than one slot might be returned
over the query run. This led to "record type has not been registered"
errors when a composite datum was extracted from a non-blessed slot.
This bug has been there a long time; I guess it escaped notice because when
dealing with subqueries the planner tends to expand whole-row Vars into
RowExprs, which don't have the same problem. It is possible to trigger
the problem in all active branches, though, as illustrated by the added
regression test.
The old name wasn't very descriptive as of actual contents of the
directory, which are historical snapshots in the snapshots/
subdirectory and mappingdata for rewritten tuples in
mappings/. There's been a fair amount of discussion what would be a
good name. I'm settling for pg_logical because it's likely that
further data around logical decoding and replication will need saving
in the future.
Also add the missing entry for the directory into storage.sgml's list
of PGDATA contents.
Bumps catversion as the data directories won't be compatible.
Backpatch to 9.4, which I missed to do as Michael Paquier luckily
noticed. As there already has been a catversion bump after 9.4beta1,
there's no reasons for having 9.4 diverge from master.
While the x output of "select x from t group by x" can be presumed unique,
this does not hold for "select x, generate_series(1,10) from t group by x",
because we may expand the set-returning function after the grouping step.
(Perhaps that should be re-thought; but considering all the other oddities
involved with SRFs in targetlists, it seems unlikely we'll change it.)
Put a check in query_is_distinct_for() so it's not fooled by such cases.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
David Rowley
Previously, when calculations on the need for toast tables changed,
pg_upgrade could not handle cases where the new cluster needed a TOAST
table and the old cluster did not. (It already handled the opposite
case.) This fixes the "OID mismatch" error typically generated in this
case.
Backpatch through 9.2
When decoding the results of a HEAP2_MULTI_INSERT (currently only
generated by COPY FROM) toast columns for all but the last tuple
weren't replaced by their actual contents before being handed to the
output plugin. The reassembled toast datums where disregarded after
every REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_(INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE) which is correct
for plain inserts, updates, deletes, but not multi inserts - there we
generate several REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_INSERTs for a single
xl_heap_multi_insert record.
To solve the problem add a clear_toast_afterwards boolean to
ReorderBufferChange's union member that's used by modifications. All
row changes but multi_inserts always set that to true, but
multi_insert sets it only for the last change generated.
Add a regression test covering decoding of multi_inserts - there was
none at all before.
Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.
Bug found by Petr Jelinek.
The isxdigit() calls relied on undefined behavior. The isascii() call
was well-defined, but our prevailing style is to include the cast.
Back-patch to 9.4, where the isxdigit() calls were introduced.
Although nodeAgg.c currently uses the same per-group memory context for
all groups of a query, that might change in future. Avoid assuming it.
This costs us an extra AggCheckCallContext() call per group, but that's
pretty cheap and is probably good from a safety standpoint anyway.
Back-patch to 9.4 in case any third-party code copies this logic.
Andrew Gierth
The previous design exposed the input and output ExprContexts of the
Agg plan node, but work on grouping sets has suggested that we'll regret
doing that. Instead provide more narrowly-defined APIs that can be
implemented in multiple ways, namely a way to get a short-term memory
context and a way to register an aggregate shutdown callback.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the bad APIs were introduced, since we don't
want third-party code using these APIs and then having to change in 9.5.

Creating the Unix-domain socket in the build directory can run into
name-length limitations. Therefore, create the socket file in the
default temporary directory of the operating system. Keep the temporary
data directory etc. in the build tree.
