We can use that macro as long as we put the value into a local variable.
Commit 735cd6128 was not wrong on its own terms, but I think this way
looks nicer, and it should save a few cycles on 32-bit machines.
The stddev calculation included a faster but unportable sqrt function.
This is not worth the extra effort, and won't work everywhere. If the
standard library function is good enough for the SQL function it
should be good enough here too.
Stddev is calculated on the fly, and the code in commit 717f709532 was
using Float8GetDatumFast() inappropriately to convert the result to a
Datum. Mea culpa. It now uses Float8GetDatum().
The new fields are min_time, max_time, mean_time and stddev_time.
Based on an original patch from Mitsumasa KONDO, modified by me. Reviewed by Petr Jelínek.
contrib/pg_stat_statements will sometimes run the core lexer a second time
on submitted statements. Formerly, if you had standard_conforming_strings
turned off, this led to sometimes getting two copies of any warnings
enabled by escape_string_warning. While this is probably no longer a big
deal in the field, it's a pain for regression testing.
To fix, change the lexer so it doesn't consult the escape_string_warning
GUC variable directly, but looks at a copy in the core_yy_extra_type state
struct. Then, pg_stat_statements can change that copy to disable warnings
while it's redoing the lexing.
It seemed like a good idea to make this happen for all three of the GUCs
consulted by the lexer, not just escape_string_warning. There's not an
immediate use-case for callers to adjust the other two AFAIK, but making
it possible is easy enough and seems like good future-proofing.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but there doesn't seem to be enough interest to
justify a back-patch. We'd not be able to back-patch exactly as-is anyway,
for fear of breaking ABI compatibility of the struct. (We could perhaps
back-patch the addition of only escape_string_warning by adding it at the
end of the struct, where there's currently alignment padding space.)
We also don't track PREPARE, nor do we track planning time in general, so
let's ignore DEALLOCATE as well for consistency.
Backpatch to 9.4, but not further than that. Although it seems unlikely that
anyone is relying on the current behavior, this is a behavioral change.

This SQL-standard feature allows a sub-SELECT yielding multiple columns
(but only one row) to be used to compute the new values of several columns
to be updated. While the same results can be had with an independent
sub-SELECT per column, such a workaround can require a great deal of
duplicated computation.
The standard actually says that the source for a multi-column assignment
could be any row-valued expression. The implementation used here is
tightly tied to our existing sub-SELECT support and can't handle other
cases; the Bison grammar would have some issues with them too. However,
I don't feel too bad about this since other cases can be converted into
sub-SELECTs. For instance, "SET (a,b,c) = row_valued_function(x)" could
be written "SET (a,b,c) = (SELECT * FROM row_valued_function(x))".
187492b6c2 changed pgstat.c so that
the stats files were saved into $PGDATA/pg_stat directory when the server
was shutdowned. But it accidentally forgot to change the location of
pg_stat_statements permanent stats file. This commit fixes pg_stat_statements
so that its stats file is also saved into $PGDATA/pg_stat at shutdown.
Since this fix changes the file layout, we don't back-patch it to 9.3
where this oversight was introduced.
On Mingw, it seems that scanf() doesn't necessarily accept the same format
codes that printf() does, and in particular it may fail to recognize %llu
even though printf() does. Since configure only probes printf() behavior
while setting up the INT64_FORMAT macros, this means it's unsafe to use
those macros with scanf(). We had only one instance of such a coding
pattern, in contrib/pg_stat_statements, so change that code to avoid
the problem.

pgss_post_parse_analyze() neglected to pass the call on to any earlier
occupant of the post_parse_analyze_hook. There are no other users of that
hook in contrib/, and most likely none in the wild either, so this is
probably just a latent bug. But it's a bug nonetheless, so back-patch
to 9.2 where this code was introduced.
Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically
loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is
meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files,
but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant.
Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of
compiler warnings in extension modules.
We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That
makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where
the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that
functions have the right prototype.
Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
A large majority of the callers of pg_do_encoding_conversion were
specifying the database encoding as either source or target of the
conversion, meaning that we can use the less general functions
pg_any_to_server/pg_server_to_any instead.
The main advantage of using the latter functions is that they can make use
of a cached conversion-function lookup in the common case that the other
encoding is the current client_encoding. It's notationally cleaner too in
most cases, not least because of the historical artifact that the latter
functions use "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" in their APIs.
Note that pg_any_to_server will apply an encoding verification step in
some cases where pg_do_encoding_conversion would have just done nothing.
This seems to me to be a good idea at most of these call sites, though
it partially negates the performance benefit.
Per discussion of bug #9210.
The temporary statistics files don't need to be included in the backup
because they are always reset at the beginning of the archive recovery.
This patch changes pg_basebackup so that it skips all files located in
$PGDATA/pg_stat_tmp or the directory specified by stats_temp_directory
parameter.
This change allows us to eliminate the previous limit on stored query
length, and it makes the shared-memory hash table very much smaller,
allowing more statements to be tracked. (The default value of
pg_stat_statements.max is therefore increased from 1000 to 5000.)
In typical scenarios, the hash table can be large enough to hold all the
statements commonly issued by an application, so that there is little
"churn" in the set of tracked statements, and thus little need to do I/O
to the file.
To further reduce the need for I/O to the query-texts file, add a way
to retrieve all the columns of the pg_stat_statements view except for
the query text column. This is probably not of much interest for human
use but it could be exploited by programs, which will prefer using the
queryid anyway.
Ordinarily, we'd need to bump the extension version number for the latter
change. But since we already advanced pg_stat_statements' version number
from 1.1 to 1.2 in the 9.4 development cycle, it seems all right to just
redefine what 1.2 means.

This makes it possible to store lwlocks as part of some other data
structure in the main shared memory segment, or in a dynamic shared
memory segment. There is still a main LWLock array and this patch does
not move anything out of it, but it provides necessary infrastructure
for doing that in the future.
This change is likely to increase the size of LWLockPadded on some
platforms, especially 32-bit platforms where it was previously only
16 bytes.
Patch by me. Review by Andres Freund and KaiGai Kohei.
This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set
aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in
SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(),
percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the
spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that
can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data.
Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting
process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the
support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API
function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of
the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the
immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to
install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that
infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up.
In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic
aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER
additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by
allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT.
It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types
but not these.

The query ID is the internal hash identifier of the statement,
and was not available in pg_stat_statements view so far.
Daniel Farina, Sameer Thakur and Peter Geoghegan, reviewed by me.
This patch adds the ability to write TABLE( function1(), function2(), ...)
as a single FROM-clause entry. The result is the concatenation of the
first row from each function, followed by the second row from each
function, etc; with NULLs inserted if any function produces fewer rows than
others. This is believed to be a much more useful behavior than what
Postgres currently does with multiple SRFs in a SELECT list.
This syntax also provides a reasonable way to combine use of column
definition lists with WITH ORDINALITY: put the column definition list
inside TABLE(), where it's clear that it doesn't control the ordinality
column as well.
Also implement SQL-compliant multiple-argument UNNEST(), by turning
UNNEST(a,b,c) into TABLE(unnest(a), unnest(b), unnest(c)).
The SQL standard specifies TABLE() with only a single function, not
multiple functions, and it seems to require an implicit UNNEST() which is
not what this patch does. There may be something wrong with that reading
of the spec, though, because if it's right then the spec's TABLE() is just
a pointless alternative spelling of UNNEST(). After further review of
that, we might choose to adopt a different syntax for what this patch does,
but in any case this functionality seems clearly worthwhile.

Commit 3855968f32 added syntax, pg_dump,
psql support, and documentation, but the triggers didn't actually fire.
With this commit, they now do. This is still a pretty basic facility
overall because event triggers do not get a whole lot of information
about what the user is trying to do unless you write them in C; and
there's still no option to fire them anywhere except at the very
beginning of the execution sequence, but it's better than nothing,
and a good building block for future work.
Along the way, add a regression test for ALTER LARGE OBJECT, since
testing of event triggers reveals that we haven't got one.

Write the file to a temporary name and then rename() it into the
permanent name, to ensure it can't end up half-written and corrupt
in case of a crash during shutdown.
Unlink the file after it has been read so it's removed from the data
directory and not included in base backups going to replication slaves.
Display total time and I/O timings in milliseconds, for consistency with
the units used for timings in the core statistics views. The columns
remain of float8 type, so that sub-msec precision is available. (At some
point we will probably want to convert the core views to use float8 type
for the same reason, but this patch does not touch that issue.)
This is a release-note-requiring change in the meaning of the total_time
column. The I/O timing columns are new as of 9.2, so there is no
compatibility impact from redefining them.
Do some minor copy-editing in the documentation, too.
There's no need to sit there and increment the stats when we know all the
increments would be zero anyway. The actual additions might not be very
expensive, but skipping acquisition of the spinlock seems like a good
thing. Pushing the logic about initialization of the usage count down into
entry_alloc() allows us to do that while making the code actually simpler,
not more complex. Expansion on a suggestion by Peter Geoghegan.
This patch addresses a deficiency in the previous pg_stat_statements patch.
We want to give sticky entries an initial "usage" factor high enough that
they probably will stick around until their query is completed. However,
if the query never completes (eg it gets an error during execution), the
entry shouldn't persist indefinitely. Manage this by starting out with
a usage setting equal to the (approximate) median usage value within the
whole hashtable, but decaying the value much more aggressively than we
do for normal entries.
Peter Geoghegan
It's actually more useful for the module to ignore these. Ignoring
EXECUTE (and not incrementing the nesting level) allows the executor
hooks to charge the time to the underlying prepared query, which
shows up as a stats entry with the original PREPARE as query string
(possibly modified by suppression of constants, which might not be
terribly useful here but it's not worth avoiding). This is much more
useful than cluttering the stats table with a distinct entry for each
textually distinct EXECUTE.
Experimentation with this idea shows that it's also preferable to ignore
PREPARE. If we don't, we get two stats table entries, one with the query
string hash and one with the jumble-derived hash, but with the same visible
query string (modulo those constants). This is confusing and not very
helpful, since the first entry will only receive costs associated with
initial planning of the query, which is not something counted at all
normally by pg_stat_statements. (And if we do start tracking planning
costs, we'd want them blamed on the other hash table entry anyway.)
When tracking nested statements, contrib/pg_stat_statements formerly
double-counted the execution costs of utility statements that directly
contain an executable statement, such as EXPLAIN and DECLARE CURSOR.
This was not obvious since the ProcessUtility and Executor hooks
would each add their measured costs to the same stats table entry.
However, with the new implementation that hashes utility and plannable
statements differently, this showed up as seemingly-duplicate stats
entries. Fix that by disabling the Executor hooks when the query has a
queryId of zero, which was the case already for such statements but is now
more clearly specified in the code. (The zero queryId was causing problems
anyway because all such statements would add to a single bogus entry.)
The PREPARE/EXECUTE case still results in counting the same execution
in two different stats table entries, but it should be much less surprising
to users that there are two entries in such cases.
In passing, include a CommonTableExpr's ctename in the query hash.
I had left it out originally on the grounds that we wanted to omit all
inessential aliases, but since RTE_CTE RTEs are hashing their referenced
names, we'd better hash the CTE names too to make sure we don't hash
semantically different queries the same.
pg_stat_statements now hashes selected fields of the analyzed parse tree
to assign a "fingerprint" to each query, and groups all queries with the
same fingerprint into a single entry in the pg_stat_statements view.
In practice it is expected that queries with the same fingerprint will be
equivalent except for values of literal constants. To make the display
more useful, such constants are replaced by "?" in the displayed query
strings.
This mechanism currently supports only optimizable queries (SELECT,
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Utility commands are still matched on the
basis of their literal query strings.
There remain some open questions about how to deal with utility statements
that contain optimizable queries (such as EXPLAIN and SELECT INTO) and how
to deal with expiring speculative hashtable entries that are made to save
the normalized form of a query string. However, fixing these issues should
require only localized changes, and since there are other open patches
involving contrib/pg_stat_statements, it seems best to go ahead and commit
what we've got.

This addresses only those cases that are easy to fix by adding or
moving a const qualifier or removing an unnecessary cast. There are
many more complicated cases remaining.
walsender.h should depend on xlog.h, not vice versa. (Actually, the
inclusion was circular until a couple hours ago, which was even sillier;
but Bruce broke it in the expedient rather than logically correct
direction.) Because of that poor decision, plus blind application of
pgrminclude, we had a situation where half the system was depending on
xlog.h to include such unrelated stuff as array.h and guc.h. Clean up
the header inclusion, and manually revert a lot of what pgrminclude had
done so things build again.
This episode reinforces my feeling that pgrminclude should not be run
without adult supervision. Inclusion changes in header files in particular
need to be reviewed with great care. More generally, it'd be good if we
had a clearer notion of module layering to dictate which headers can sanely
include which others ... but that's a big task for another day.
The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks
and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't.
Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the
"canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do
an actual assignment. And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by
Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus
log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without
restarting the server". There may be some speed advantage too, because
this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when
restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed
representation of the value instead). This patch also resolves a
longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign
hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message
about "invalid parameter value".
The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well
with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with
triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed. Those problems show it is really not
practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the
cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called
between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd. Some Asserts have been
added to these functions to help verify correct usage.
It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call
AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now
done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively. If you really need to
suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to
ExecutorStart.
Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that
PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code. I think this is not actually
necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any
non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider
committing. But it seems like good future-proofing.
rather than returning NULL for some-but-not-all failures as they used to.
Remove now-redundant tests for NULL from call sites.
We had to do something about this because many call sites were failing to
check for NULL; and changing it like this seems a lot more useful and
mistake-proof than adding checks to the call sites without them.
