Move the functions within the file so that public interface functions come
first, followed by internal functions. Previously, be_tls_write was first,
then internal stuff, and finally the rest of the public interface, which
clearly didn't make much sense.
Per Andres Freund's complaint.
The old text explained what happened if we didn't have working int64
arithmetic. Since that case has been explicitly rejected by configure
since 8.4.3, documenting it in the 9.x branches can only produce confusion.
Commit f30015b6d7 made this happen for
timestamp and timestamptz, but it seems pretty inconsistent to not
do it for simple dates as well.
(In passing, I re-pgindent'd json.c.)
Previously only CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT was exposed as an index term.
That's odd and there is no reason not to add index terms for other
replication commands.
Back-patch to 9.4.
Update the notes to include commits through today, and do a lot of
wordsmithing and markup adjustment. Notably, don't use <link> where <xref>
will do; since we got rid of the text-format HISTORY file, there is no
longer a reason to avoid <xref>.
The new DISCARD SEQUENCES option was inadequately described, and hadn't
been mentioned at all in the initial Description paragraph. Rather than
rectifying the latter the hard way, it seemed better to rewrite the
description as a summary, instead of having it basically duplicate
statements made under Parameters. Be more consistent about the ordering
of the options, too.
The upstream stylesheets for man output insert a *roff comment for an
occurrence of an indexterm, for reasons that have apparently been lost
in history. This, however, is done incorrectly and causes some
formatting problems. This hasn't been an issue until now, but the
reorganization of indexterm elements inside variablelists has triggered
this issue.
The upstream fix (http://sourceforge.net/p/docbook/bugs/1340/) is to
drop indexterms altogether in man output, and so we'll do the same here.
PG_RETURN_BOOL() should only be used in functions following the V1 SQL
function API. This coding accidentally fails to fail since letting the
compiler coerce the Datum representation of bool back to plain bool
does give the right answer; but that doesn't make it a good idea.
Back-patch to older branches just to avoid unnecessary code divergence.
Make lists of the names of all operators that are claimed to be commutator
pairs or negator pairs. This is analogous to the existing queries that
make lists of all operator names appearing in particular opclass strategy
slots. Unexpected additions to these lists are likely to be mistakes; had
we had these queries in place before, bug #11178 might've been prevented.
<@ and @> are each other's commutators, but they were incorrectly marked
as being each other's negators instead. (This was actually questioned
in a comment in the original commit, but nobody followed through :-(.)
Per bug #11178 from Christian Pronovost.
In passing, fix some JSONB operator descriptions that were randomly
different from the phrasing of every other similar description.
catversion bump for pg_catalog contents change.
When the TAP tests are run in-tree (make check), set the shared library
path using the appropriate environment variable, using a logic similar
to pg_regress, so that the right libraries are used.
FreeBSD hasn't made any use of kern.ipc.semmap since 1.1, and newer
releases reject attempts to set it altogether; so stop recommending
that it be adjusted. Per bug #11161.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Before 9.3, also incorporate
commit 7a42dff47, which touches the same text and for some reason
was not back-patched at the time.
This provides a small but worthwhile speedup when sorting text, at least
in cases to which the sortsupport machinery applies.

Previously the help message described that -m is an option for
"stop", "restart" and "promote" commands in pg_ctl. But actually
that's not an option for "promote". So this commit fixes that
incorrect description in the help message.
Back-patch to 9.3 where the incorrect description was added.
parseRelOptions() tended to leak memory in the caller's context. Most
of the time this doesn't really matter since the caller's context is
at most query-lifespan, and the function won't be invoked very many times.
However, when testing with CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY, the same relcache
entry can get rebuilt a *lot* of times in one query, leading to significant
intraquery memory bloat if it has any reloptions. Noted while
investigating a related report from Tomas Vondra.
In passing, get rid of some Asserts that are redundant with the one
done by deconstruct_array().
As with other patches to avoid leaks in CLOBBER_CACHE testing, it doesn't
really seem worth back-patching this.
When replacing rd_indexlist, rd_indexattr, etc, we neglected to pfree any
old value of these fields. Under ordinary circumstances, the old value
would always be NULL, so this seemed reasonable enough. However, in cases
where we're rebuilding a system catalog's relcache entry and another cache
flush occurs on that same catalog meanwhile, it's possible for the field to
not be NULL when we return to the outer level, because we already refilled
it while recovering from the inner flush. This leads to a fairly small
session-lifespan leak in CacheMemoryContext. In real-world usage the leak
would be too small to notice; but in testing with CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY
the leakage can add up to the point of causing OOM failures, as reported by
Tomas Vondra.
The issue has been there a long time, but it only seems worth fixing in
HEAD, like the previous fix in this area (commit 078b2ed291).
This option is equivalent to --slot option which pg_receivexlog has
already supported, which specifies the replication slot to use for
WAL streaming. pg_recvlogical has already supported both options,
and this commit makes pg_receivexlog consistent with pg_recvlogical
regarding the slot option.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the slot option was added.

Some error messages complained about --init and --stop being used
whereas the --create and --drop are the correct verbs. Fix that.
Also a XLogRecPtr was tested in a boolean fashion instead of being
compared to InvalidXLogRecPtr.
Backpatch to 9.4 where pg_recvlogical was introduced.

When doing logical decoding using START_LOGICAL_REPLICATION in a
walsender process the walsender sometimes was sending out keepalive
messages too frequently. Asking for feedback every time.
WalSndWaitForWal() sends out keepalive messages when it's waiting for
new WAL to be generated locally when it sees that the remote side
hasn't yet flushed WAL up to the local position. That generally is
good but causes problems if the remote side only writes but doesn't
flush changes yet. So check for both remote write and flush position.
Additionally we've asked for feedback to the keepalive message which
isn't warranted when waiting for WAL in contrast to preventing
timeouts because of wal_sender_timeout.

Now benchmarking options such as -c cannot be used if initializing
option (-i) is specified. Also initializing options such as -F cannot
be used if initializing option is not specified.

When both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf have their own entry of
the same parameter, PostgreSQL uses the entry in postgresql.auto.conf because
it appears last in the configuration scan. IOW, the other entries which appear
earlier are ignored. But, previously, ProcessConfigFile() detected the invalid
settings of even those unused entries and emitted the error messages
complaining about them, at postmaster startup. Complaining about the entries
to ignore is basically useless.
This problem happened because ProcessConfigFile() was called twice at
postmaster startup and the first call read only postgresql.conf. That is, the
first call could check the entry which might be ignored eventually by
the second call which read both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf.
To work around the problem, this commit changes ProcessConfigFile so that
its first call processes only data_directory and the second one does all the
entries. It's OK to process data_directory in the first call because it's
ensured that data_directory doesn't exist in postgresql.auto.conf.
Back-patch to 9.4 where postgresql.auto.conf was added.

This commit also changes tab-completion for \set so that it displays
all the special variables like COMP_KEYWORD_CASE. Previously it displayed
only variables having the set values. Which was not user-friendly for
those who want to set the unset variables.
This commit also changes tab-completion for :variable so that only the
variables having the set values are displayed. Previously even unset
variables were displayed.

The initialization fork was added in 9.1, but has not been taken into
consideration in documents of get_raw_page function in pageinspect and
storage layout. This commit fixes those oversights.
get_raw_page can read not only a table but also an index, etc. So it
should be documented that the function can read any relation. This commit
also fixes the document of pageinspect that way.
Back-patch to 9.1 where those oversights existed.

This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.
Based on a patch by Martijn van Oosterhout from 2006. Briefly reviewed by
Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.
The user documentation was vague and not entirely accurate about how
we treat domain inputs for ambiguous operators/functions. Clarify
that, and add an example and some commentary. Per a recent question
from Adam Mackler.
It's acted like this ever since we added domains, so back-patch
to all supported branches.
There's actually no need for any special case for unknown-type literals,
since we only need to push the value through its output function and
unknownout() works fine. The code that was here was completely bizarre
anyway, and would fail outright in cases that should work, not to mention
suffering from some copy-and-paste bugs.
Fix an obvious typo in json_build_object()'s complaint about invalid
number of arguments, and make the errhint a bit more sensible too.
Per discussion about how to word the improved hint, change the few places
in the documentation that refer to JSON object field names as "names" to
say "keys" instead, since that's what we've said in the vast majority of
places in the docs. Arguably "name" is more correct, since that's the
terminology used in RFC 7159; but we're stuck with "key" in view of the
naming of json_object_keys() so let's at least be self-consistent.
I adjusted a few code comments to match this as well, and failed to
resist the temptation to clean up some odd whitespace choices in the
same area, as well as a useless duplicate PG_ARGISNULL() check. There's
still quite a bit of code that uses the phrase "field name" in non-user-
visible ways, so I left those usages alone.
Such cases are disallowed by the SQL spec, and even if we wanted to allow
them, the semantics seem ambiguous: how should the FK columns be matched up
with the columns of a unique index? (The matching could be significant in
the presence of opclasses with different notions of equality, so this issue
isn't just academic.) However, our code did not previously reject such
cases, but instead would either fail to match to any unique index, or
generate a bizarre opclass-lookup error because of sloppy thinking in the
index-matching code.

This allows us to specify the maximum time to issue fsync to ensure
the received WAL file is safely flushed to disk. Without this,
pg_receivexlog always flushes WAL file only when it's closed and
which can cause WAL data to be lost at the event of a crash.

Previously, TOAST tables only required in the new cluster could cause
oid conflicts if they were auto-numbered and a later conflicting oid had
to be assigned.
Backpatch through 9.3
Based on the old comment, it took me a while to figure out what the
problem was. The importnat detail is that SSL_read() can return WANT_READ
even though some raw data was received from the socket.
This could be useful for datatypes like text, where we might want
to optimize for some collations but not others. However, this patch
doesn't introduce any new sortsupport functions that work this way;
it merely revises the code so that future patches may do so.
Patch by me. Review by Peter Geoghegan.
Previously the source codes for processing the received data and handling
the end of stream were included in pg_receivexlog main loop. This commit
splits out them as separate functions. This is useful for improving the
readability of main loop code and making the future pg_receivexlog-related
patch simpler.
