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]

2017-02-01Make psql's \set display variables in alphabetical order.Tom Lane
"\set" with no arguments displays all defined variables, but it does so in the order that they appear in variables.c's list, which previously was mostly creation order. That makes the list ugly and hard to find things in, and it exposes some psql implementation details to users. (For instance, ordinary variables will move to the bottom of the list if unset and set again, but variables that have hooks won't.) Fix that by keeping the list in alphabetical order at all times, which isn't much more complicated than breaking out of the insertion search loops once we reach an entry that should be after the one to be inserted.

2017-02-01Improve psql's behavior for \set and \unset of its control variables.Tom Lane
This commit improves on the results of commit 511ae628f in two ways: 1. It restores the historical behavior that "\set FOO" is interpreted as setting FOO to "on", if FOO is a boolean control variable. We already found one test script that was expecting that behavior, and the psql documentation certainly does nothing to discourage people from assuming that would work, since it often says just "if FOO is set" when describing the effects of a boolean variable. However, now this case will result in actually setting FOO to "on", not an empty string. 2. It arranges for an "\unset" of a control variable to set the value back to its default value, rather than becoming apparently undefined. The control variables are also initialized that way at psql startup. In combination, these things guarantee that a control variable always has a displayable value that reflects what psql is actually doing. That is a pretty substantial usability improvement. The implementation involves adding a second type of variable hook function that is able to replace a proposed new value (including NULL) with another one. We could alternatively have complicated the API of the assign hook, but this way seems better since many variables can share the same substitution hook function. Also document the actual behavior of these variables more fully, including covering assorted behaviors that were there before but never documented. This patch also includes some minor cleanup that should have been in 511ae628f but was missed. Patch by me, but it owes a lot to discussions with Daniel Vérité.

2017-02-01Replace isMD5() with a more future-proof way to check if pw is encrypted.Heikki Linnakangas
The rule is that if pg_authid.rolpassword begins with "md5" and has the right length, it's an MD5 hash, otherwise it's a plaintext password. The idiom has been to use isMD5() to check for that, but that gets awkward, when we add new kinds of verifiers, like the verifiers for SCRAM authentication in the pending SCRAM patch set. Replace isMD5() with a new get_password_type() function, so that when new verifier types are added, we don't need to remember to modify every place that currently calls isMD5(), to also recognize the new kinds of verifiers. Also, use the new plain_crypt_verify function in passwordcheck, so that it doesn't need to know about MD5, or in the future, about other kinds of hashes or password verifiers.

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.

2017-01-31pg_dump: Fix handling of ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGESStephen Frost
In commit 23f34fa, we changed how ACLs were handled to use the new pg_init_privs catalog and to dump out the ACL commands as REVOKE+GRANT combinations instead of trying to REVOKE all rights always and then GRANT back just the ones which were in place. Unfortunately, the DEFAULT PRIVILEGES system didn't quite get the correct treatment with this change and ended up (incorrectly) only including positive GRANTs instead of both the REVOKEs and GRANTs necessary to preserve the correct privileges. There are only a couple cases where such REVOKEs are possible because, generally speaking, there's few rights which exist on objects by default to be revoked. Examples of REVOKEs which weren't being correctly preserved are when privileges are REVOKE'd from the creator/owner, like so: ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE myrole REVOKE SELECT ON TABLES FROM myrole; or when other default privileges are being revoked, such as EXECUTE rights granted to public for functions: ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE myrole REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS FROM PUBLIC; Fix this by correctly working out what the correct REVOKE statements are (if any) and dump them out, just as we do for everything else. Noticed while developing additional regression tests for pg_dump, which will be landing shortly. Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.
2017-01-31perltidy pg_dump TAP testsStephen Frost
The pg_dump TAP tests have gotten pretty far from what perltidy thinks they should be, so fix that, and in passing use long-form argument names with arguments passed via "=" in a similar vein to 58da833. No functional changes here, just whitespace and changing runs from "-f" to "--file=", and similar.
2017-01-31test_pg_dump: perltidy cleanupStephen Frost
As pointed out by Alvaro, we actually use perltidy on the perl scripts in the source tree, so go back to the results of a perltidy run for the test_pg_dump TAP script. To make it look slightly less tragic, I changed most of the independent arguments into long-form single arguments (eg: -f file.sql changed to be --file=file.sql) to avoid having them confusingly split across lines due to perltidy. Back-patch to 9.6, as the last patch was.
2017-01-30Simplify some long-obsolete code in hba.c's next_token().Tom Lane
next_token() oddly set its buffer space consumption limit to one before the last char position in the buffer, not the last as you'd expect. The reason is there was once an ugly kluge to mark keywords by appending a newline to them, potentially requiring one more byte. Commit e5e2fc842 removed that kluge, but failed to notice that the length limit could be increased. Also, remove some vestigial handling of newline characters in the buffer. That was left over from when this function read the file directly using getc(). Commit 7f49a67f9 changed it to read from a buffer, from which tokenize_file had already removed the only possible occurrence of newline, but did not simplify this function in consequence. Also, ensure that we don't return with *lineptr set to someplace past the terminating '\0'; that would be catastrophic if a caller were to ask for another token from the same line. This is just latent since no callers actually do call again after a "false" return; but considering that it was actually costing us extra code to do it wrong, we might as well make it bulletproof. Noted while reviewing pg_hba_file_rules patch.
2017-01-30Invent pg_hba_file_rules view to show the content of pg_hba.conf.Tom Lane
This view is designed along the same lines as pg_file_settings, to wit it shows what is currently in the file, not what the postmaster has loaded as the active settings. That allows it to be used to pre-vet edits before issuing SIGHUP. As with the earlier view, go out of our way to allow errors in the file to be reflected in the view, to assist that use-case. (We might at some point invent a view to show the current active settings, but this is not that patch; and it's not trivial to do.)

2017-01-30Add a regression test script dedicated to exercising system views.Tom Lane
Quite a few of our built-in system views were not exercised anywhere in the regression tests. This is perhaps not so exciting for the ones that are simple projections/joins of system catalogs, but for the ones that are wrappers for set-returning C functions, the omission translates directly to lack of test coverage for those functions. In many cases, the reason for the omission is that the view doesn't have much to do with any specific SQL feature, so there's no natural place to test it. To remedy that, invent a new script sysviews.sql that's dedicated to testing SRF-based views. Move a couple of tests that did fit this charter into the new script, and add simple "count(*)" based tests of other views within the charter. That's enough to ensure we at least exercise the main code path through the SRF, although it does little to prove that the output is sane. More could be done here, no doubt, and I hope someone will think about how we can test these views more thoroughly. But this is a starting point.

2017-01-30Make psql reject attempts to set special variables to invalid values.Tom Lane
Previously, if the user set a special variable such as ECHO to an unrecognized value, psql would bleat but store the new value anyway, and then fall back to a default setting for the behavior controlled by the variable. This was agreed to be a not particularly good idea. With this patch, invalid values result in an error message and no change in state. (But this applies only to variables that affect psql's behavior; purely informational variables such as ENCODING can still be set to random values.) To do this, modify the API for psql's assign-hook functions so that they can return an OK/not OK result, and give them the responsibility for printing error messages when they reject a value. Adjust the APIs for ParseVariableBool and ParseVariableNum to support the new behavior conveniently. In passing, document the variable VERSION, which had somehow escaped that. And improve the quite-inadequate commenting in psql/variables.c.

2017-01-30Handle ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP with pg_init_privsStephen Frost
In commit 6c268df, pg_init_privs was added to track the initial privileges of catalog objects and extensions. Unfortunately, that commit didn't include understanding of ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP, which allows the objects associated with an extension to be changed after the initial CREATE EXTENSION script has been run. The result of this meant that ACLs for objects added through ALTER EXTENSION ADD were not recorded into pg_init_privs and we would end up including those ACLs in pg_dump when we shouldn't have. This commit corrects that by making sure to have pg_init_privs updated when ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP is run, recording the permissions as they are at ALTER EXTENSION ADD time, and removing any if/when ALTER EXTENSION DROP is called. This issue was pointed out by Moshe Jacobson as commentary on bug #14456 (which was actually a bug about versions prior to 9.6 not handling custom ACLs on extensions correctly, an issue now addressed with pg_init_privs in 9.6). Back-patch to 9.6 where pg_init_privs was introduced.

2017-01-27Use castNode() in a bunch of statement-list-related code.Tom Lane
When I wrote commit ab1f0c822, I really missed the castNode() macro that Peter E. had proposed shortly before. This back-fills the uses I would have put it to. It's probably not all that significant, but there are more assertions here than there were before, and conceivably they will help catch any bugs associated with those representation changes. I left behind a number of usages like "(Query *) copyObject(query_var)". Those could have been converted as well, but Peter has proposed another notational improvement that would handle copyObject cases automatically, so I let that be for now.

2017-01-27Add castNode(type, ptr) for safe casting between NodeTag based types.Andres Freund
The new function allows to cast from one NodeTag based type to another, while asserting that the conversion is valid. This replaces the common pattern of doing a cast and a Assert(IsA(ptr, type)) close-by. As this seems likely to be used pervasively, we decided to backpatch this change the addition of this macro. Otherwise backpatched fixes are more likely not to work on back-branches. On branches before 9.6, where we do not yet rely on inline functions being available, the type assertion is only performed if PG_USE_INLINE support is detected. The cast obviously is performed regardless. For the benefit of verifying the macro compiles in the back-branches, this commit contains a single use of the new macro. On master, a somewhat larger conversion will be committed separately.

2017-01-26Ensure that a tsquery like '!foo' matches empty tsvectors.Tom Lane
!foo means "the tsvector does not contain foo", and therefore it should match an empty tsvector. ts_match_vq() overenthusiastically supposed that an empty tsvector could never match any query, so it forcibly returned FALSE, the wrong answer. Remove the premature optimization. Our behavior on this point was inconsistent, because while seqscans and GIST index searches both failed to match empty tsvectors, GIN index searches would find them, since GIN scans don't rely on ts_match_vq().

2017-01-25Make UNKNOWN into an actual pseudo-type.Tom Lane
Previously, type "unknown" was labeled as a base type in pg_type, which perhaps had some sense to it because you were allowed to create tables with unknown-type columns. But now that we don't allow that, it makes more sense to label it a pseudo-type. This has the additional effects of forbidding use of "unknown" as a domain base type, cast source or target type, PL function argument or result type, or plpgsql local variable type; all of which seem like good holes to plug. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAH2L28uwwbL9HUM-WR=hromW1Cvamkn7O-g8fPY2m=_7muJ0oA@mail.gmail.com
2017-01-25Change unknown-type literals to type text in SELECT and RETURNING lists.Tom Lane
Previously, we left such literals alone if the query or subquery had no properties forcing a type decision to be made (such as an ORDER BY or DISTINCT clause using that output column). This meant that "unknown" could be an exposed output column type, which has never been a great idea because it could result in strange failures later on. For example, an outer query that tried to do any operations on an unknown-type subquery output would generally fail with some weird error like "failed to find conversion function from unknown to text" or "could not determine which collation to use for string comparison". Also, if the case occurred in a CREATE VIEW's query then the view would have an unknown-type column, causing similar failures in queries trying to use the view. To fix, at the tail end of parse analysis of a query, forcibly convert any remaining "unknown" literals in its SELECT or RETURNING list to type text. However, provide a switch to suppress that, and use it in the cases of SELECT inside a set operation or INSERT command. In those cases we already had type resolution rules that make use of context information from outside the subquery proper, and we don't want to change that behavior. Also, change creation of an unknown-type column in a relation from a warning to a hard error. The error should be unreachable now in CREATE VIEW or CREATE MATVIEW, but it's still possible to explicitly say "unknown" in CREATE TABLE or CREATE (composite) TYPE. We want to forbid that because it's nothing but a foot-gun. This change creates a pg_upgrade failure case: a matview that contains an unknown-type column can't be pg_upgraded, because reparsing the matview's defining query will now decide that the column is of type text, which doesn't match the cstring-like storage that the old materialized column would actually have. Add a checking pass to detect that. While at it, we can detect tables or composite types that would fail, essentially for free. Those would fail safely anyway later on, but we might as well fail earlier. This patch is by me, but it owes something to previous investigations by Rahila Syed. Also thanks to Ashutosh Bapat and Michael Paquier for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAH2L28uwwbL9HUM-WR=hromW1Cvamkn7O-g8fPY2m=_7muJ0oA@mail.gmail.com
2017-01-25Be more aggressive in avoiding tuple conversion.Robert Haas
According to the comments in tupconvert.c, it's necessary to perform tuple conversion when either table has OIDs, and this was previously checked by ensuring that the tdtypeid value matched between the tables in question. However, that's overly stringent: we have access to tdhasoid and can test directly whether OIDs are present, which lets us avoid conversion in cases where the type OIDs are different but the tuple descriptors are entirely the same (and neither has OIDs). This is useful to the partitioning code, which can thereby avoid converting tuples when inserting into a partition whose columns appear in the same order as the parent columns, the normal case. It's possible for the tuple routing code to avoid some additional overhead in this case as well, so do that, too. It's not clear whether it would be OK to skip this when both tables have OIDs: do callers count on this to build a new tuple (losing the previous OID) in such instances? Until we figure it out, leave the behavior in that case alone. Amit Langote, reviewed by me.

2017-01-24Add a new DestReceiver for printing tuples without catalog access.Robert Haas
If you create a DestReciver of type DestRemote and try to use it from a replication connection that is not bound to a specific daabase, or any other hypothetical type of backend that is not bound to a specific database, it will fail because it doesn't have a pg_proc catalog to look up properties of the types being printed. In general, that's an unavoidable problem, but we can hardwire the properties of a few builtin types in order to support utility commands. This new DestReceiver of type DestRemoteSimple does just that. Patch by me, reviewed by Michael Paquier.
