TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions. Fix by allowing a slot to contain both formats simultaneously; which turns out not to complicate the logic much at all, if anything it seems less contorted than before. Back-patch to 8.2, where minimal tuples were introduced. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
