| efc16ea | Simon Riggs | 19 December 2009, 01:32:45 UTC | Allow read only connections during recovery, known as Hot Standby. Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record. New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far. This commit is the basic patch. Additional changes will follow in this release to enhance some aspects of behaviour, notably improved handling of conflicts, deadlock detection and query cancellation. Changes to VACUUM FULL are also required. Simon Riggs, with significant and lengthy review by Heikki Linnakangas, including streamlined redesign of snapshot creation and two-phase commit. Important contributions from Florian Pflug, Mark Kirkwood, Merlin Moncure, Greg Stark, Gianni Ciolli, Gabriele Bartolini, Hannu Krosing, Robert Haas, Tatsuo Ishii, Hiroyuki Yamada plus support and feedback from many other community members. | 19 December 2009, 01:32:45 UTC |

| be3a24d | Tom Lane | 18 December 2009, 18:45:50 UTC | Force the TZ environment variable to be set during initdb. This is to short-circuit the rather expensive identify_system_timezone() procedure, which we have no real need for during initdb since nothing done here depends on the timezone setting. Since we launch quite a few standalone backends during the initdb sequence, this adds up to a significant savings, and seems worth doing to save developer time even though it will hardly matter to end users. Per my report today on pgsql-hackers. | 18 December 2009, 18:45:50 UTC |
| f5fd651 | Robert Haas | 17 December 2009, 14:36:16 UTC | Improve documentation for pg_largeobject changes. Rewrite the documentation in more idiomatic English, and in the process make it somewhat more succinct. Move the discussion of specific large object privileges out of the "server-side functions" section, where it certainly doesn't belong, and into "implementation features". That might not be exactly right either, but it doesn't seem worth creating a new section for this amount of information. Fix a few spelling and layout problems, too. | 17 December 2009, 14:36:16 UTC |

| d6de430 | Peter Eisentraut | 16 December 2009, 23:05:00 UTC | Don't unblock SIGQUIT in the SIGQUIT handler This was possibly linked to a deadlock-like situation in glibc syslog code invoked by the ereport call in quickdie(). In any case, a signal handler should not unblock its own signal unless there is a specific reason to. | 16 December 2009, 23:05:00 UTC |
| b63b967 | Peter Eisentraut | 16 December 2009, 22:55:34 UTC | If there is no sigdelset(), define it as a macro. This removes some duplicate code that recreated the identical workaround when the newer signal API is missing. | 16 December 2009, 22:55:34 UTC |
| 52fc007 | Tom Lane | 16 December 2009, 22:24:13 UTC | Avoid a premature coercion failure in transformSetOperationTree() when presented with an UNKNOWN-type Var, which can happen in cases where an unknown literal appeared in a subquery. While many such cases will fail later on anyway in the planner, there are some cases where the planner is able to flatten the query and replace the Var by the constant before it has to coerce the union column to the final type. I had added this check in 8.4 to provide earlier/better error detection, but it causes a regression for some cases that worked OK before. Fix by not making the check if the input node is UNKNOWN type and not a Const or Param. If it isn't going to work, it will fail anyway at plan time, with the only real loss being inability to provide an error cursor. Per gripe from Britt Piehler. In passing, rename a couple of variables to remove confusion from an inner scope masking the same variable names in an outer scope. | 16 December 2009, 22:24:13 UTC |
| ff49961 | Robert Haas | 16 December 2009, 22:16:16 UTC | Several fixes for EXPLAIN (FORMAT YAML), plus one for EXPLAIN (FORMAT JSON). ExplainSeparatePlans() was busted for both JSON and YAML output - the present code is a holdover from the original version of my machine-readable explain patch, which didn't have the grouping_stack machinery. Also, fix an odd distribution of labor between ExplainBeginGroup() and ExplainYAMLLineStarting() when marking lists with "- ", with each providing one character. This broke the output format for multi-query statements. Also, fix ExplainDummyGroup() for the YAML output format. Along the way, make the YAML format use escape_yaml() in situations where the JSON format uses escape_json(). Right now, it doesn't matter because all the values are known not to need escaping, but it seems safer this way. Finally, I added some comments to better explain what the YAML output format is doing. Greg Sabino Mullane reported the issues with multi-query statements. Analysis and remaining cleanups by me. | 16 December 2009, 22:16:16 UTC |

| 21d11e7 | Tom Lane | 15 December 2009, 20:37:17 UTC | Avoid unnecessary copying of source string when generating a cloned TParser. For long source strings the copying results in O(N^2) behavior, and the multiplier can be significant if wide-char conversion is involved. Andres Freund, reviewed by Kevin Grittner. | 15 December 2009, 20:37:17 UTC |
| a5495cd | Tom Lane | 15 December 2009, 20:04:49 UTC | Add a hook to let loadable modules get control at ProcessUtility execution, and use it to extend contrib/pg_stat_statements to track utility commands. Itagaki Takahiro, reviewed by Euler Taveira de Oliveira. | 15 December 2009, 20:04:49 UTC |
| 34d2687 | Tom Lane | 15 December 2009, 17:57:48 UTC | Support ORDER BY within aggregate function calls, at long last providing a non-kluge method for controlling the order in which values are fed to an aggregate function. At the same time eliminate the old implementation restriction that DISTINCT was only supported for single-argument aggregates. Possibly release-notable behavioral change: formerly, agg(DISTINCT x) dropped null values of x unconditionally. Now, it does so only if the agg transition function is strict; otherwise nulls are treated as DISTINCT normally would, ie, you get one copy.

| cddca5e | Robert Haas | 15 December 2009, 04:57:48 UTC | Add an EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) option to show buffer-usage statistics. This patch also removes buffer-usage statistics from the track_counts output, since this (or the global server statistics) is deemed to be a better interface to this information. Itagaki Takahiro, reviewed by Euler Taveira de Oliveira. | 15 December 2009, 04:57:48 UTC |

| a620d50 | Tom Lane | 14 December 2009, 02:15:54 UTC | Fix a bug introduced when set-returning SQL functions were made inline-able: we have to cope with the possibility that the declared result rowtype contains dropped columns. This fails in 8.4, as per bug #5240. While at it, be more paranoid about inserting binary coercions when inlining. The pre-8.4 code did not really need to worry about that because it could not inline at all in any case where an added coercion could change the behavior of the function's statement. However, when inlining a SRF we allow sorting, grouping, and set-ops such as UNION. In these cases, modifying one of the targetlist entries that the sort/group/setop depends on could conceivably change the behavior of the function's statement --- so don't inline when such a case applies. | 14 December 2009, 02:15:54 UTC |
| 84f910a | Itagaki Takahiro | 14 December 2009, 00:39:11 UTC | Additional fixes for large object access control. Use pg_largeobject_metadata.oid instead of pg_largeobject.loid to enumerate existing large objects in pg_dump, pg_restore, and contrib modules. | 14 December 2009, 00:39:11 UTC |
| 0182d6f | Magnus Hagander | 12 December 2009, 21:35:21 UTC | Allow LDAP authentication to operate in search+bind mode, meaning it does a search for the user in the directory first, and then binds with the DN found for this user. This allows for LDAP logins in scenarios where the DN of the user cannot be determined simply by prefix and suffix, such as the case where different users are located in different containers. The old way of authentication can be significantly faster, so it's kept as an option. Robert Fleming and Magnus Hagander | 12 December 2009, 21:35:21 UTC |
| a4e035b | Tom Lane | 12 December 2009, 19:24:35 UTC | Fix integer-to-bit-string conversions to handle the first fractional byte correctly when the output bit width is wider than the given integer by something other than a multiple of 8 bits. This has been wrong since I first wrote that code for 8.0 :-(. Kudos to Roman Kononov for being the first to notice, though I didn't use his patch. Per bug #5237. | 12 December 2009, 19:24:35 UTC |
| 02490d4 | Robert Haas | 12 December 2009, 00:35:34 UTC | Export ExplainBeginOutput() and ExplainEndOutput() for auto_explain. Without these functions, anyone outside of explain.c can't actually use ExplainPrintPlan, because the ExplainState won't be initialized properly. The user-visible result of this was a crash when using auto_explain with the JSON output format. Report by Euler Taveira de Oliveira. Analysis by Tom Lane. Patch by me. | 12 December 2009, 00:35:34 UTC |
| 6b45e3b | Tom Lane | 11 December 2009, 21:50:06 UTC | Arrange to generate different random sequences in the different child processes of a pgbench run, when we are using -j > 1 and are emulating threads via fork(). Otherwise the children all inherit the same random sequence state and produce the same random-number sequence. In the threaded case the different threads will share one RNG state, so they will produce different subsets of one sequence, which is maybe more correlated than a purist would like but will not be "the same". So we leave that case alone. First noticed by Takahiro Itagaki, and is also part of the explanation for the pgbench misbehavior recently reported by Jaime Casanova. | 11 December 2009, 21:50:06 UTC |
| d8e511f | Tom Lane | 11 December 2009, 18:14:43 UTC | Ensure that the result tuple of an EvalPlanQual cycle gets materialized before we zap the input tuple. Otherwise, pass-by-reference columns of the result slot are likely to contain just references to the input tuple, leading to big trouble if the pfree'd space is reused. Per trouble report from Jaime Casanova. This is a new bug in the recent rewrite of EvalPlanQual, so nothing to back-patch. | 11 December 2009, 18:14:43 UTC |

| 62aba76 | Tom Lane | 09 December 2009, 21:57:51 UTC | Prevent indirect security attacks via changing session-local state within an allegedly immutable index function. It was previously recognized that we had to prevent such a function from executing SET/RESET ROLE/SESSION AUTHORIZATION, or it could trivially obtain the privileges of the session user. However, since there is in general no privilege checking for changes of session-local state, it is also possible for such a function to change settings in a way that might subvert later operations in the same session. Examples include changing search_path to cause an unexpected function to be called, or replacing an existing prepared statement with another one that will execute a function of the attacker's choosing. The present patch secures VACUUM, ANALYZE, and CREATE INDEX/REINDEX against these threats, which are the same places previously deemed to need protection against the SET ROLE issue. GUC changes are still allowed, since there are many useful cases for that, but we prevent security problems by forcing a rollback of any GUC change after completing the operation. Other cases are handled by throwing an error if any change is attempted; these include temp table creation, closing a cursor, and creating or deleting a prepared statement. (In 7.4, the infrastructure to roll back GUC changes doesn't exist, so we settle for rejecting changes of "search_path" in these contexts.) Original report and patch by Gurjeet Singh, additional analysis by Tom Lane. Security: CVE-2009-4136 | 09 December 2009, 21:57:51 UTC |

| abf23ee | Magnus Hagander | 09 December 2009, 06:37:06 UTC | Reject certificates with embedded NULLs in the commonName field. This stops attacks where an attacker would put <attack>\0<propername> in the field and trick the validation code that the certificate was for <attack>. This is a very low risk attack since it reuqires the attacker to trick the CA into issuing a certificate with an incorrect field, and the common PostgreSQL deployments are with private CAs, and not external ones. Also, default mode in 8.4 does not do any name validation, and is thus also not vulnerable - but the higher security modes are. Backpatch all the way. Even though versions 8.3.x and before didn't have certificate name validation support, they still exposed this field for the user to perform the validation in the application code, and there is no way to detect this problem through that API.

| ab3148b | Heikki Linnakangas | 03 December 2009, 11:03:29 UTC | Fix bug in temporary file management with subtransactions. A cursor opened in a subtransaction stays open even if the subtransaction is aborted, so any temporary files related to it must stay alive as well. With the patch, we use ResourceOwners to track open temporary files and don't automatically close them at subtransaction end (though in the normal case temporary files are registered with the subtransaction resource owner and will therefore be closed). At end of top transaction, we still check that there's no temporary files marked as close-at-end-of-transaction open, but that's now just a debugging cross-check as the resource owner cleanup should've closed them already. | 03 December 2009, 11:03:29 UTC |

| 59ed94a | Tom Lane | 02 December 2009, 04:54:10 UTC | Mark application_name as GUC_REPORT so that the value will be reported back to the client by the server. This might seem pretty pointless but apparently it will help pgbouncer, and perhaps other connection poolers. Anyway it's practically free to do so for the normal use-case where appname is only set in the startup packet --- we're just adding a few more bytes to the initial ParameterStatus response packet. Per comments from Marko Kreen. | 02 December 2009, 04:54:10 UTC |
| 3dfcf8c | Tom Lane | 02 December 2009, 04:38:35 UTC | Instead of sending application_name as a SET command after the connection is made, include it in the startup-packet options. This makes it work more like every other libpq connection option, in particular it now has the same response to RESET ALL as the rest. This also saves one network round trip for new applications using application_name. The cost is that if the server is pre-8.5, it'll reject the startup packet altogether, forcing us to retry the entire connection cycle. But on balance we shouldn't be optimizing that case in preference to the behavior with a new server, especially when doing so creates visible behavioral oddities.

| 0d32342 | Tom Lane | 01 December 2009, 21:00:24 UTC | Teach the regular expression functions to do case-insensitive matching and locale-dependent character classification properly when the database encoding is UTF8. The previous coding worked okay in single-byte encodings, or in any case for ASCII characters, but failed entirely on multibyte characters. The fix assumes that the <wctype.h> functions use Unicode code points as the wchar representation for Unicode, ie, wchar matches pg_wchar. This is only a partial solution, since we're still stupid about non-ASCII characters in multibyte encodings other than UTF8. The practical effect of that is limited, however, since those cases are generally Far Eastern glyphs for which concepts like case-folding don't apply anyway. Certainly all or nearly all of the field reports of problems have been about UTF8. A more general solution would require switching to the platform's wchar representation for all regex operations; which is possible but would have substantial disadvantages. Let's try this and see if it's sufficient in practice. | 01 December 2009, 21:00:24 UTC |

| 1a95f12 | Tom Lane | 28 November 2009, 00:46:19 UTC | Eliminate a lot of list-management overhead within join_search_one_level by adding a requirement that build_join_rel add new join RelOptInfos to the appropriate list immediately at creation. Per report from Robert Haas, the list_concat_unique_ptr() calls that this change eliminates were taking the lion's share of the runtime in larger join problems. This doesn't do anything to fix the fundamental combinatorial explosion in large join problems, but it should push out the threshold of pain a bit further. Note: because this changes the order in which joinrel lists are built, it might result in changes in selected plans in cases where different alternatives have exactly the same costs. There is one example in the regression tests. | 28 November 2009, 00:46:19 UTC |
