tried a variant file from resultmap and it didn't match. This is already done
in HEAD's C-code version, and is needed because OpenBSD has recently migrated
to a more standard handling of float underflow --- see buildfarm results
from emu.
quote chars inside quote marks, should emit one quote *and stay in inquotes
mode*. No doubt the lack of reports of this have something to do with the
poor documentation of the feature ...
overlapping possible matches for the separator string, such as
string_to_array('123xx456xxx789', 'xx').
Also, revise the logic of replace(), split_part(), and string_to_array()
to avoid O(N^2) work from redundant searches and conversions to pg_wchar
format when there are N matches to the separator string.
Backpatched the full patch as far as 8.0. 7.4 also has the bug, but the
code has diverged a lot, so I just went for a quick-and-dirty fix of the
bug itself in that branch.
been initialized yet. This can happen because there are code paths that call
SysCacheGetAttr() on a tuple originally fetched from a different syscache
(hopefully on the same catalog) than the one specified in the call. It
doesn't seem useful or robust to try to prevent that from happening, so just
improve the function to cope instead. Per bug#2678 from Jeff Trout. The
specific example shown by Jeff is new in 8.1, but to be on the safe side
I'm backpatching 8.0 as well. We could patch 7.x similarly but I think
that's probably overkill, given the lack of evidence of old bugs of this ilk.
and instead make the grammar production for the RETURN statement do the
heavy lifting. The lookahead idea was copied from the main parser, but
it does not work in plpgsql's parser because here gram.y looks explicitly
at the scanner's yytext variable, which will be out of sync after a
failed lookahead step. A minimal example is
create or replace function foo() returns void language plpgsql as '
begin
perform return foo bar;
end';
which can be seen by testing to deliver "foo foo bar" to the main parser
instead of the expected "return foo bar". This isn't a huge bug since
RETURN is not found in the main grammar, but it could bite someone who
tried to use "return" as an identifier.
Back-patch to 8.1. Bug exists further back, but HEAD patch doesn't apply
cleanly, and given the lack of field complaints it doesn't seem worth
the effort to develop adjusted patches.
when what's being executed is a COMMIT or ROLLBACK. Per report from
Sergey Koposov. Backpatch to 8.1; 8.0 and before don't have the bug
due to lack of any logging at all here.
as micro-seconds, rather than as 100 microseconds, as it does now. This
actually fixes all setitimer calls on Win32, but statement_timeout is
the most visible fix.
Backpatch to 8.1.X. 8.0 works as documented.
BufferAlloc tries to insert a new mapping entry before deleting the old one
for a buffer, we have a transient need for more than NBuffers entries ---
one more in 8.1, and as many as NUM_BUFFER_PARTITIONS more in CVS HEAD.
In theory this could lead to an "out of shared memory" failure if shmem
had already been completely claimed by the time the extra entries were
needed.
recovery. In the first place, it doesn't work because slru's
latest_page_number isn't set up yet (this is why we've been hearing reports
of strange "apparent wraparound" log messages during crash recovery, but
only from people who'd managed to advance their next-mxact counters some
considerable distance from 0). In the second place, it seems a bit unwise
to be throwing away data during crash recovery anwyway. This latter
consideration convinces me to just disable truncation during recovery,
rather than computing latest_page_number and pushing ahead.
EINTR; the stats code was failing to do this and so were a couple of places
in the postmaster. The stats code assumed that recv() could not return EINTR
if a preceding select() showed the socket to be read-ready, but this is
demonstrably false with our Windows implementation of recv(), and it may
not be the case on all Unix variants either. I think this explains the
intermittent stats regression test failures we've been seeing, as well
as reports of stats collector instability under high load on Windows.
Backpatch as far as 8.0.
a table. Otherwise a USING clause that yields NULL can leave the table
violating its constraint (possibly there are other cases too). Per report
from Alexander Pravking.
analyzing, so that future analyze threshold calculations don't get confused.
Also, make sure we correctly track the decrease of live tuples cause by
deletes.
Per report from Dylan Hansen, patches by Tom Lane and me.
palloc() will normally round allocation requests up to the next power of 2,
so make dynahash choose allocation sizes that are as close to a power of 2
as possible.
Back-patch to 8.1 --- the problem exists further back, but a much larger
patch would be needed and it doesn't seem worth taking any risks.
opposed to what other versions apparently do, so it's not safe to print an
error message. Besides, getopt_long itself already did, so it's redundant
anyway.
This is disallowed by the SQL spec because it doesn't have any very sensible
interpretation. Historically Postgres has allowed it but behaved strangely.
As of PG 8.1 a server crash is possible if the MIN/MAX index optimization gets
applied; rather than try to "fix" that, it seems best to just enforce the
spec restriction. Per report from Josh Drake and Alvaro Herrera.
We have once or twice seen failures suggesting that control didn't get
to the exception block before the timeout elapsed, which is unlikely
but not impossible in a parallel regression test (with a dozen other
backends competing for cycles). This change doesn't completely prevent
the problem of course, but it should reduce the probability enough that
we don't see it anymore. Per buildfarm results.
already-aborted transaction block. GetSnapshotData throws an Assert if
not in a valid transaction; hence we mustn't attempt to set a snapshot
for the function until after checking for aborted transaction. This is
harmless AFAICT if Asserts aren't enabled (GetSnapshotData will compute
a bogus snapshot, but it doesn't matter since HandleFunctionRequest will
throw an error shortly anywy). Hence, not a major bug.
Along the way, add some ability to log fastpath calls when statement
logging is turned on. This could probably stand to be improved further,
but not logging anything is clearly undesirable.
Backpatched as far as 8.0; bug doesn't exist before that.
was invoking obj_description() for each large object chunk, instead of once
per large object. This code is new as of 8.1, which may explain why the
problem hadn't been noticed already.
LWLocks during a panic exit. This avoids the possible self-deadlock pointed
out by Qingqing Zhou. Also, I noted that an error during LoadFreeSpaceMap()
or BuildFlatFiles() would result in exit(0) which would leave the postmaster
thinking all is well. Added a critical section to ensure such errors don't
allow startup to proceed.
Backpatched to 8.1. The 8.0 code is a bit different and I'm not sure if the
problem exists there; given we've not seen this reported from the field, I'm
going to be conservative about backpatching any further.
