Record partitioned table dependencies as DEPENDENCY_AUTO rather than DEPENDENCY_NORMAL, so that DROP TABLE just works.

Craig Ringer http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/5ee2197767f648bc21e324e751b84d42af573b43 - Allow pg_dumpall to dump roles w/o user passwords. Add new option --no-role-passwords which dumps roles without passwords. Since we don’t need passwords, we choose to use pg_roles in preference to pg_authid since access may be restricted for security reasons in some configrations.

The old function took function name and function argument list as separate arguments.

In simpler times, it might have worked to refer to all kinds of objects by a list of name components and an optional argument list. But this doesn't work for all objects, which has resulted in a collection of hacks to place various other nodes types into these fields, which have to be unpacked at the other end. This makes it also weird to represent lists of such things in the grammar, because they would have to be lists of singleton lists, to make the unpacking work consistently. The other problem is that keeping separate name and args fields makes it awkward to deal with lists of functions. Change that by dropping the objargs field and have objname, renamed to object, be a generic Node, which can then be flexibly assigned and managed using the normal Node mechanisms. In many cases it will still be a List of names, in some cases it will be a string Value, for types it will be the existing Typename, for functions it will now use the existing ObjectWithArgs node type. Some of the more obscure object types still use somewhat arbitrary nested lists.

The generic drop support already supported dropping multiple objects of the same kind at once. But the previous representation of function signatures across two grammar symbols and structure members made this cumbersome to do for functions, so it was not supported. Now that function signatures are represented by a single structure, it's trivial to add this support. Same for aggregates and operators.

Like Gather, we spawn multiple workers and run the same plan in each one; however, Gather Merge is used when each worker produces the same output ordering and we want to preserve that output ordering while merging together the streams of tuples from various workers. (In a way, Gather Merge is like a hybrid of Gather and MergeAppend.) This works out to a win if it saves us from having to perform an expensive Sort. In cases where only a small amount of data would need to be sorted, it may actually be faster to use a regular Gather node and then sort the results afterward, because Gather Merge sometimes needs to wait synchronously for tuples whereas a pure Gather generally doesn't. But if this avoids an expensive sort then it's a win. Rushabh Lathia, reviewed and tested by Amit Kapila, Thomas Munro, and Neha Sharma, and reviewed and revised by me.

Commit 0e141c0fbb211bdd23783afa731e3eef95c9ad7a introduced a mechanism to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the need to hand the lock around. Use a similar mechanism to reduce contention on CLogControlLock. Testing shows that this very significantly reduces the amount of time waiting for CLogControlLock on high-concurrency pgbench tests run on a large multi-socket machines; whether that translates into a TPS improvement depends on how much of that contention is simply shifted to some other lock, particularly WALWriteLock.

With RLS active, "COPY tab TO ..." failed under -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, and would sometimes fail without that, because it used the relation name directly from the relcache as part of the parsetree it's building. That becomes a potentially-dangling pointer as soon as the relcache entry is closed, a bit further down. Typical symptom if the relcache entry chanced to get cleared would be "relation does not exist" error with a garbage relation name, or possibly a core dump; but if you were really truly unlucky, the COPY might copy from the wrong table. Per report from Andrew Dunstan that regression tests fail with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. The core tests now pass for me (but have not tried "make check-world" yet). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7b52f900-0579-cda9-ae2e-de5da17090e6@2ndQuadrant.com http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a8df75b0a470f477dad75a7408e429e10c13fc07 - Repair incorrect pg_dump labeling for some comments and security labels. We attached no schema label to comments for procedural languages, casts, transforms, operator classes, operator families, or text search objects. The first three categories of objects don't really have schemas, but pg_dump treats them as if they do, and it seems like the TocEntry fields for their comments had better match the TocEntry fields for the parent objects. (As an example of a possible hazard, the type names in a CAST will be formatted with the assumption of a particular search_path, so failing to ensure that this same path is active for the COMMENT ON command could lead to an error or to attaching the comment to the wrong cast.) In the last six cases, this was a flat-out error --- possibly mine to begin with, but it was a long time ago. The security label for a procedural language was likewise not correctly labeled as to schema, and both the comment and security label for a procedural language were not correctly labeled as to owner. In simple cases the restore would accidentally work correctly anyway, since these comments and security labels would normally get emitted right after the owning object, and so the search path and active user would be correct anyhow. But it could fail in corner cases; for example a schema-selective restore would omit comments it should include. Giuseppe Broccolo noted the oversight, and proposed the correct fix, for text search dictionary objects; I found the rest by cross-checking other dumpComment() calls. These oversights are ancient, so back-patch all the way.

CHARACTER SET option. The SQL standard says that you should be able to write "CHARACTER SET foo" as part of the declaration of a char-type column. We don't implement that, but a rough form of support has existed in gram.y since commit f10b63923. That's now sat there for nigh 20 years without anyone fleshing it out --- and even if someone did, the contemplated approach of having separate data type name(s) for every character set certainly isn't what we'd do today. Let's just remove the grammar production; if anyone is ever motivated to work on this, reinventing the grammar support is a trivial fraction of what they'd have to do. And we've never documented anything about supporting such a clause. Per gripe from Neha Khatri.

This is modeled on plv8's start_proc parameter, and also has much in common with plperl's on_init feature. It allows users to fully replace the "modules" feature that was removed in commit 817f2a586. Since an initializer function could subvert later Tcl code in nearly arbitrary ways, mark both GUCs as SUSET for now. It would be nice to find a way to relax that someday; but the corresponding GUCs in plperl are also SUSET, and there's not been much complaint.

Large chunks (those too large for any palloc freelist) are managed as separate blocks. Formerly, realloc'ing or pfree'ing such a chunk required O(N) time in a context with N blocks, since we had to traipse down the singly-linked block list to locate the block's predecessor before we could fix the list links. This can result in O(N^2) runtime in situations where large numbers of such chunks are manipulated within one context. Cases like that were not foreseen in the original design of aset.c, and indeed didn't arise until fairly recently. But such problems can now occur in reorderbuffer.c and in hash joining, both of which make repeated large requests without scaling up their request size as they do so, and which will free their requests in not-necessarily-LIFO order. To fix, change the block list from singly-linked to doubly-linked. This adds another 4 or 8 bytes to ALLOC_BLOCKHDRSZ, but that doesn't seem like unacceptable overhead, since aset.c's blocks are normally 8K or more, and never less than 1K in current practice. In passing, get rid of some redundant AllocChunkGetPointer() calls in AllocSetRealloc (the compiler might be smart enough to optimize these away anyway, but no need to assume that) and improve AllocSetCheck's checking of block header fields. Back-patch to 9.4 where reorderbuffer.c appeared. We could take this further back, but currently there's no evidence that it would be useful.

Although there are good reasons for our policy of including postgres.h as the first #include in every .c file, never from .h files, there are two places where it seems expedient to violate the policy because the alternative is to modify externally-supplied .c files. (In the case of the regexp library, the idea that it's externally-supplied is kind of at odds with reality, but I haven't entirely given up hope that it will become a standalone project some day.) Add some comments to make it explicit that this is a policy violation and provide the reasoning.

We have a project policy that every .c file should start by including postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h as appropriate; and then there is no need for any .h file to explicitly include any of these. (The core reason for this policy is to make it easy to verify that pg_config_os.h is included before any system headers such as <stdio.h>; without that, we have portability issues on some platforms due to variation in largefile options across different modules in the backend. Also, if .h files were responsible for choosing which of these key headers to include, .h files that need to be includable in either frontend or backend compiles would be in trouble.) plpgsql was blithely ignoring this policy, so whack it upside the head until it complies. I also chose to standardize on including plpgsql's own .h files after all core-system headers that it pulls in. That could've been done either way, but this way seems saner.

The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations. The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York, which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction. Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to decide to remove them from the database in future. With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not think this is a big objection.

Also, at one time the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed, leaving only a surprising choice behind.

Apply the same replacement in "-l" output. Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is enough to fix things for its purposes. The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly to start with.

When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject and pg_largeobject_metadata, allowing us to avoid having to dump out and reload the actual data for large objects and their ACLs. Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated with large objects. Currently, we also support COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new cluster. As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled forward across a pg_upgrade. In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL or the data when in binary-upgrade mode. Adjustments made to the privileges regression test to allow another test (large_object.sql) to be added which explicitly leaves a large object with a comment in place to provide coverage of that case with pg_upgrade.

To wit, we do not drop or recreate the public schema in "normal" mode, but when we are run in "--clean" mode then we do drop and recreate the public schema. When running in "--clean" mode, the public schema is dropped and then recreated and it is recreated with the normal schema-default privileges of "nothing". This is unlike how the public schema starts life, which is to have CREATE and USAGE GRANT'd to the PUBLIC role, and that is what is recorded in pg_init_privs. Due to this, in "--clean" mode, pg_dump would mistakenly only dump out the set of privileges required to go from the initdb-time privileges on the public schema to whatever the current-state privileges are. If the privileges were not changed from initdb time, then no privileges would be dumped out for the public schema, but with the schema being dropped and recreated, the result was that the public schema would have no ACLs on it instead of what it should have, which is the initdb-time privileges. Practically speaking, this meant that pg_dump with --clean mode dumping a database where the ACLs on the public schema were not changed from the default would, upon restore, result in a public schema with *no* privileges GRANT'd, not matching the state of the existing database (where the initdb-time privileges would have been CREATE and USAGE to the PUBLIC role for the public schema). To fix, adjust the query in getNamespaces() to ignore the pg_init_privs entry for the public schema when running in "--clean" mode, meaning that the privileges for the public schema would be dumped, correctly, as if it was going from a newly-created schema to the current state (which is, indeed, what will happen during the restore thanks to the DROP/CREATE). Only the public schema is handled in this special way by pg_dump, no other initdb-time objects are dropped/recreated in --clean mode. Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.

Pointed out by Michael Paquier http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/90e91e242fe99582b6d2dc18177e79d99c91695d Andres Freund pushed: - Make simplehash.h grow hashtable in additional cases. Increase the size when either the distance between actual and optimal slot grows too large, or when too many subsequent entries would have to be moved. This addresses reports that the simplehash performed, sometimes considerably, worse than dynahash. The reason turned out to be that insertions into the hashtable where, due to the use of parallel query, in effect done from another hashtable, in hash-value order. If the target hashtable, due to mis-estimation, was sized a lot smaller than the source table(s) that lead to very imbalanced tables; a lot of entries in many close-by buckets from the source tables were inserted into a single, wider, bucket on the target table. As the growth factor was solely computed based on the fillfactor, the performance of the table decreased further and further. b81b5a96f424531b was an attempt to address this problem for hash aggregates (but not for bitmap scans), but it turns out that the current method of mixing hash values often actually leaves neighboring hash-values close to each other, just in different value range. It might be worth revisiting that independently of the performance issues addressed in this patch.. To address that problem resize tables in two additional cases: Firstly when the optimal position for an entry would be far from the actual position, secondly when many entries would have to be moved to make space for the new entry (while satisfying the robin hood property). Due to the additional resizing threshold it seems possible, and testing confirms that so far, that a higher fillfactor doesn't hurt performance and saves a bit of memory. It seems better to increase it now, before a release containing any of this code, rather than wonder in some later release. The various boundaries aren't determined in a particularly scientific manner, they might need some fine-tuning. In all my tests the new code now, even with parallelism, performs at least as good as the old code, in several scenarios significantly better.

This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to verify B-Tree indexes. This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details. The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch" functions that cover multiple access methods.

Amit Kapila. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/55acfcbffd7d11db8c10cd94ba44bfe5974894e0 - Support SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication (RFC 5802 and 7677). This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall protocol. Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later. The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep. That will hopefully be added later. Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification, are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same functionality, anyway. If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is created at initdb, and stored in the control file. We go through these motions, in order to not give away the information on whether the user exists, to unauthenticated users. Bumps PG_CONTROL_VERSION, because of the new field in control file.

Commit 898a792eb8283e31efc0b6fcbc03bbcd5f7df667 fixed the connection leak issue, but it was an unreliable way of bugfix. This bugfix was assuming that walrcv_command() subroutine cannot throw an error, but it's untenable assumption. For example, if it will be changed so that an error is thrown, connection leak issue will happen again. This patch ensures that the connection is closed even when walrcv_command() subroutine throws an error.

Any logical rep workers must have their subscription entries in pg_subscription. To ensure this, we need to prevent the launcher from starting new worker corresponding to the subscription that DROP SUBSCRIPTION command is removing. To implement this, previously LogicalRepLauncherLock was introduced and held until the end of transaction running DROP SUBSCRIPTION. But using LWLock for that purpose was not valid. Instead, this commit changes DROP SUBSCRIPTION so that it takes AccessExclusiveLock on pg_subscription, in order to ensure that the launcher cannot see any subscriptions being removed. Also this commit gets rid of LogicalRepLauncherLock.

XMLTABLE is defined by the SQL/XML standard as a feature that allows turning XML-formatted data into relational form, so that it can be used as a <table primary> in the FROM clause of a query. This new construct provides significant simplicity and performance benefit for XML data processing; what in a client-side custom implementation was reported to take 20 minutes can be executed in 400ms using XMLTABLE. (The same functionality was said to take 10 seconds using nested PostgreSQL XPath function calls, and 5 seconds using XMLReader under PL/Python). The implemented syntax deviates slightly from what the standard requires. First, the standard indicates that the PASSING clause is optional and that multiple XML input documents may be given to it; we make it mandatory and accept a single document only. Second, we don't currently support a default namespace to be specified. This implementation relies on a new executor node based on a hardcoded method table. (Because the grammar is fixed, there is no extensibility in the current approach; further constructs can be implemented on top of this such as JSON_TABLE, but they require changes to core code.)
