Casting the argument of strVal() to (Value *) is useless, since strVal() already does that. Most code didn't do that anyway; this was apparently just a style that snuck into certain files.

2021-07-08Improve error messages about mismatching relkindPeter Eisentraut
Most error messages about a relkind that was not supported or appropriate for the command was of the pattern "relation \"%s\" is not a table, foreign table, or materialized view" This style can become verbose and tedious to maintain. Moreover, it's not very helpful: If I'm trying to create a comment on a TOAST table, which is not supported, then the information that I could have created a comment on a materialized view is pointless. Instead, write the primary error message shorter and saying more directly that what was attempted is not possible. Then, in the detail message, explain that the operation is not supported for the relkind the object was. To simplify that, add a new function errdetail_relkind_not_supported() that does this. In passing, make use of RELKIND_HAS_STORAGE() where appropriate, instead of listing out the relkinds individually.

2019-12-26Revert "Rename files and headers related to index AM"Michael Paquier

2019-12-25Rename files and headers related to index AMMichael Paquier
The following renaming is done so as source files related to index access methods are more consistent with table access methods (the original names used for index AMs ware too generic, and could be confused as including features related to table AMs): - amapi.h -> indexam.h. - amapi.c -> indexamapi.c. Here we have an equivalent with backend/access/table/tableamapi.c. - amvalidate.c -> indexamvalidate.c. - amvalidate.h -> indexamvalidate.h. - genam.c -> indexgenam.c. - genam.h -> indexgenam.h. This has been discussed during the development of v12 when table AM was worked on, but the renaming never happened.

2017-03-06Remove objname/objargs split for referring to objectsPeter Eisentraut
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. Reviewed-by: Jim Nasby <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <[email protected]>
2017-02-01Provide CatalogTupleDelete() as a wrapper around simple_heap_delete().Tom Lane
This extends the work done in commit 2f5c9d9c9 to provide a more nearly complete abstraction layer hiding the details of index updating for catalog changes. That commit only invented abstractions for catalog inserts and updates, leaving nearby code for catalog deletes still calling the heap-level routines directly. That seems rather ugly from here, and it does little to help if we ever want to shift to a storage system in which indexing work is needed at delete time. Hence, create a wrapper function CatalogTupleDelete(), and replace calls of simple_heap_delete() on catalog tuples with it. There are now very few direct calls of [simple_]heap_delete remaining in the tree. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2017-01-31Tweak catalog indexing abstraction for upcoming WARMAlvaro Herrera
Split the existing CatalogUpdateIndexes into two different routines, CatalogTupleInsert and CatalogTupleUpdate, which do both the heap insert/update plus the index update. This removes over 300 lines of boilerplate code all over src/backend/catalog/ and src/backend/commands. The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye. Also, by encapsulating what happens in detail during an UPDATE, this facilitates the upcoming WARM patch, which is going to add a few more lines to the update case making the boilerplate even more boring. The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use left, and since it's just three lines, we can as well expand it in place there. We could keep it, but WARM is going to break all the UPDATE out-of-core callsites anyway, so there seems to be no benefit in doing so.

Backpatch certain files through 9.1
2015-03-03Change many routines to return ObjectAddress rather than OIDAlvaro Herrera
The changed routines are mostly those that can be directly called by ProcessUtilitySlow; the intention is to make the affected object information more precise, in support for future event trigger changes. Originally it was envisioned that the OID of the affected object would be enough, and in most cases that is correct, but upon actually implementing the event trigger changes it turned out that ObjectAddress is more widely useful. Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument that's an object address which provides further info about the executed command. To wit: * for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of the new constraint * for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the schema that originally contained the object. * for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address of the object added to or dropped from the extension. There's no user-visible change in this commit, and no functional change either. Discussion: [email protected] Reviewed-By: Stephen Frost, Andres Freund

2013-07-02Use an MVCC snapshot, rather than SnapshotNow, for catalog scans.Robert Haas
SnapshotNow scans have the undesirable property that, in the face of concurrent updates, the scan can fail to see either the old or the new versions of the row. In many cases, we work around this by requiring DDL operations to hold AccessExclusiveLock on the object being modified; in some cases, the existing locking is inadequate and random failures occur as a result. This commit doesn't change anything related to locking, but will hopefully pave the way to allowing lock strength reductions in the future. The major issue has held us back from making this change in the past is that taking an MVCC snapshot is significantly more expensive than using a static special snapshot such as SnapshotNow. However, testing of various worst-case scenarios reveals that this problem is not severe except under fairly extreme workloads. To mitigate those problems, we avoid retaking the MVCC snapshot for each new scan; instead, we take a new snapshot only when invalidation messages have been processed. The catcache machinery already requires that invalidation messages be sent before releasing the related heavyweight lock; else other backends might rely on locally-cached data rather than scanning the catalog at all. Thus, making snapshot reuse dependent on the same guarantees shouldn't break anything that wasn't already subtly broken. Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier and Andres Freund.
2013-03-04Add a materialized view relations.Kevin Grittner
A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to populate the table, references in queries refer to the materialized data. This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of references to underlying tables, but that requires the other above-mentioned features to be working first. Much of the documentation work by Robert Haas.

2012-08-30Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera
This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.

2011-03-04Allow non-superusers to create (some) extensions.Tom Lane
Remove the unconditional superuser permissions check in CREATE EXTENSION, and instead define a "superuser" extension property, which when false (not the default) skips the superuser permissions check. In this case the calling user only needs enough permissions to execute the commands in the extension's installation script. The superuser property is also enforced in the same way for ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE cases. In other ALTER EXTENSION cases and DROP EXTENSION, test ownership of the extension rather than superuserness. ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP needs to insist on ownership of the target object as well; to do that without duplicating code, refactor comment.c's big switch for permissions checks into a separate function in objectaddress.c. I also removed the superuserness checks in pg_available_extensions and related functions; there's no strong reason why everybody shouldn't be able to see that info. Also invent an IF NOT EXISTS variant of CREATE EXTENSION, and use that in pg_dump, so that dumps won't fail for installed-by-default extensions. We don't have any of those yet, but we will soon. This is all per discussion of wrapping the standard procedural languages into extensions. I'll make those changes in a separate commit; this is just putting the core infrastructure in place.

2011-02-10Fix pg_upgrade to handle extensions.Tom Lane
This follows my proposal of yesterday, namely that we try to recreate the previous state of the extension exactly, instead of allowing CREATE EXTENSION to run a SQL script that might create some entirely-incompatible on-disk state. In --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump won't issue CREATE EXTENSION at all, but instead uses a kluge function provided by pg_upgrade_support to recreate the pg_extension row (and extension-level pg_depend entries) without creating any member objects. The member objects are then restored in the same way as if they weren't members, in particular using pg_upgrade's normal hacks to preserve OIDs that need to be preserved. Then, for each member object, ALTER EXTENSION ADD is issued to recreate the pg_depend entry that marks it as an extension member. In passing, fix breakage in pg_upgrade's enum-type support: somebody didn't fix it when the noise word VALUE got added to ALTER TYPE ADD. Also, rationalize parsetree representation of COMMENT ON DOMAIN and fix get_object_address() to allow OBJECT_DOMAIN.
2011-02-08Core support for "extensions", which are packages of SQL objects.Tom Lane
This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions. There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make all the contrib modules depend on this feature. In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in AlterObjectNamespace() and callers. Dimitri Fontaine, reviewed by Anssi Kääriäinen, Itagaki Takahiro, Tom Lane, and numerous others

Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables cannot yet be queried.
