These triggers are identical except for whether ri_Check_Pk_Match is to be
called, so factor out the common code to save a couple hundred lines.
Also, eliminate null-column checks in ri_Check_Pk_Match, since they're
duplicate with the calling functions and require unnecessary complication
in its API statement.
Simplify the way code is shared between RI_FKey_check_ins and
RI_FKey_check_upd, too.
I was confused about this, so try to make it clearer for the next person.
(This seems like a fairly inefficient way of dealing with a corner case,
but I don't have a better idea offhand. Maybe if there were a way to turn
off the RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_fk event filter temporarily?)
Once upon a time, somebody was worried that cached RI plans wouldn't get
remade with new default values after ALTER TABLE ... SET DEFAULT, so they
didn't allow caching of plans for ON UPDATE/DELETE SET DEFAULT actions.
That time is long gone, though (and even at the time I doubt this was the
greatest hazard posed by ALTER TABLE...). So allow these triggers to cache
their plans just like the others.
The cache_plan argument to ri_PlanCheck is now vestigial, since there
are no callers that don't pass "true"; but I left it alone in case there
is any future need for it.
We really only need the foreign key constraint's OID and the query type
code to uniquely identify each plan we are caching for FK checks. The
other stuff that was in the struct had no business being used as part of
a hash key, and was all just being copied from struct RI_ConstraintInfo
anyway. Get rid of the unnecessary fields, and readjust various function
APIs to make them use RI_ConstraintInfo not RI_QueryKey as info source.
I'd be surprised if this makes any measurable performance difference,
but it certainly feels cleaner.
Now that what we're implementing isn't SQL92, we probably shouldn't cite
chapter and verse in that spec anymore. Also fix some comments that
talked about MATCH FULL but in fact were in code that's also used for
MATCH SIMPLE.
No code changes in this commit, just comments.
Previously, when executing an ON UPDATE SET NULL or SET DEFAULT action for
a multicolumn MATCH SIMPLE foreign key constraint, we would set only those
referencing columns corresponding to referenced columns that were changed.
This is what the SQL92 standard said to do --- but more recent versions
of the standard say that all referencing columns should be set to null or
their default values, no matter exactly which referenced columns changed.
At least for SET DEFAULT, that is clearly saner behavior. It's somewhat
debatable whether it's an improvement for SET NULL, but it appears that
other RDBMS systems read the spec this way. So let's do it like that.
This is a release-notable behavioral change, although considering that
our documentation already implied it was done this way, the lack of
complaints suggests few people use such cases.
Previously we followed the SQL92 wording, "MATCH <unspecified>", but since
SQL99 there's been a less awkward way to refer to the default style.
In addition to the code changes, pg_constraint.confmatchtype now stores
this match style as 's' (SIMPLE) rather than 'u' (UNSPECIFIED). This
doesn't affect pg_dump or psql because they use pg_get_constraintdef()
to reconstruct foreign key definitions. But other client-side code might
examine that column directly, so this change will have to be marked as
an incompatibility in the 9.3 release notes.
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders. Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.
Formerly, if the system clock went backwards, the stats collector would
fail to update the stats file any more until the clock reading again
exceeds whatever timestamp was last written into the stats file. Such
glitches in the clock's behavior are not terribly unlikely on machines
not using NTP. Such a scenario has been observed to cause regression test
failures in the buildfarm, and it could have bad effects on the behavior
of autovacuum, so it seems prudent to install some defenses.
We could directly detect the clock going backwards by adding
GetCurrentTimestamp calls in the stats collector's main loop, but that
would hurt performance on platforms where GetCurrentTimestamp is expensive.
To minimize the performance hit in normal cases, adopt a more complicated
scheme wherein backends check for clock skew when reading the stats file,
and if they see it, signal the stats collector by sending an extra stats
inquiry message. The stats collector does an extra GetCurrentTimestamp
only when it receives an inquiry with an apparently out-of-order
timestamp.
To avoid unnecessary GetCurrentTimestamp calls, expand the inquiry messages
to carry the backend's current clock reading as well as its stats cutoff
time. The latter, being intentionally slightly in-the-past, would trigger
more clock rechecks than we need if it were used for this purpose.
We might want to backpatch this change at some point, but let's let it
shake out in the buildfarm for awhile first.
Since this is the easy way of doing it, it should be listed first. All
the old information is retained for those who want the more advanced way.
Also adds a subheading for compressing logs, that seems to have been missing
Because permissions are assigned to element types, not array types,
complaining about permission denied on an array type would be
misleading to users. So adjust the reporting to refer to the element
type instead.
In order not to duplicate the required logic in two dozen places,
refactor the permission denied reporting for types a bit.
pointed out by Yeb Havinga during the review of the type privilege
feature
There's no need to hold onto the locks until the files are needed,
and by doing it this way, we reduce the impact on other backends who
may be awaiting locks we hold.

When I implemented the ginbuildempty() function as part of
implementing unlogged tables, I falsified the note in the header
comment for log_newpage. Although we could fix that up by changing
the comment, it seems cleaner to add a new function which is
specifically intended to handle this case. So do that.
Even when allow_system_table_mods is not set, we allow creation of any
type of SQL object in pg_catalog, except for relations. And you can
get relations into pg_catalog, too, by initially creating them in some
other schema and then moving them with ALTER .. SET SCHEMA. So this
restriction, which prevents relations (only) from being created in
pg_catalog directly, is fairly pointless. If we need a safety mechanism
for this, it should be placed further upstream, so that it affects all
SQL objects uniformly, and picks up both CREATE and SET SCHEMA.
For now, just rip it out, per discussion with Tom Lane.
This includes fixing the MSVC copy of ecpg/preproc's version info, which
seems to have been overlooked repeatedly. Can't we fix that so there are
not two copies??
Instead of identifying error locations only by line number (which could
be entirely unhelpful with long input lines), provide a fragment of the
input text too, placing this info in a new CONTEXT entry. Make the
error detail messages conform more closely to style guidelines, fix
failure to expose some of them for translation, ensure compiler can
check formats against supplied parameters.
This reverts commit 18fb9d8d21. Per
discussion, it does not seem like a good idea to allow committed changes to
go un-checkpointed indefinitely, as could happen in a low-traffic server;
that makes us entirely reliant on the WAL stream with no redundancy that
might aid data recovery in case of disk failure.
This re-introduces the original problem of hot-standby setups generating a
small continuing stream of WAL traffic even when idle, but there are other
ways to address that without compromising crash recovery, so we'll revisit
that issue in a future release cycle.
Aside from adjusting the documentation to say that these are deprecated,
we now report a warning (not an error) for use of GLOBAL, since it seems
fairly likely that we might change that to request SQL-spec-compliant temp
table behavior in the foreseeable future. Although our handling of LOCAL
is equally nonstandard, there is no evident interest in ever implementing
SQL modules, and furthermore some other products interpret LOCAL as
behaving the same way we do. So no expectation of change and no warning
for LOCAL; but it still seems a good idea to deprecate writing it.

The simplest way to handle this is just to copy-and-paste the relevant
code block in fork_process.c, so that's what I did. (It's possible that
something more complicated would be useful to packagers who want to work
with either the old or the new API; but at this point the number of such
people is rapidly approaching zero, so let's just get the minimal thing
done.) Update relevant documentation as well.
Remove a couple of items that were actually back-patched bug fixes.
Add additional details to a couple of items which lacked a description.
Improve attributions for a couple of items I was involved with.
A few other miscellaneous corrections.
Commit aaa6e1def2 introduced multiple hazards
in the case where pg_ctl is executed with neither a -D switch nor any
PGDATA environment variable. It would dump core on machines which are
unforgiving about printf("%s", NULL), or failing that possibly give a
rather unhelpful complaint about being unable to execute "postgres -C",
rather than the logically prior complaint about not being told where the
data directory is.
Edmund Horner's report suggests that there is another, Windows-specific
hazard here, but I'm not the person to fix that; it would in any case only
be significant when trying to use a config-only PGDATA pointer.
"pg_dump -Ft -f filename ..." got broken by my recent commit
4317e0246c, which I fear I only tested
in the output-to-stdout variant.
Report and fix by Muhammad Asif Naeem.
getopt_long() allows abbreviating long options, so we might as well
give the option the full name, and users can abbreviate it how they
like.
Do some general polishing of the --help output at the same time.
This prevents a pg_basebackup backup session that just does a base
backup (no xlog involved at all) from becoming the synchronous slave
and thus blocking all access while it runs.
Also fixes the problem when a higher priority slave shows up it would
become the sync standby before it has reached the STREAMING state, by
making sure we can only switch to a walsender that's actually STREAMING.

To replace it, add -X/--xlog-method that allows the specification
of fetch or stream.
Do this to avoid unnecessary backwards-incompatiblity. Spotted and
suggested by Peter Eisentraut.
Since the replication protocol deals with TimestampTz, we need to
care for the floating point case as well in the frontend tools.
