Remove crude hack that tried to propagate collation through a
function-returning-record, ie, from the function's arguments to individual
fields selected from its result record. That is just plain inconsistent,
because the function result is composite and cannot have a collation;
and there's no hope of making this kind of action-at-a-distance work
consistently. Adjust regression test cases that expected this to happen.
Meanwhile, the behavior of casting to a domain with a declared collation
stays the same as it was, since that seemed to be the consensus.
Get rid of bogus collation test in match_special_index_operator (even for
ILIKE, the pattern match operator's collation doesn't matter here, and even
if it did the test was testing the wrong thing).
Fix broken looping logic in expand_indexqual_rowcompare.
Add collation check in match_clause_to_ordering_op.
Make naming and argument ordering more consistent; improve comments.
The previous coding worked only if ltproc->fn_collation was always either
DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID or a C-compatible locale. While that's true at the
moment, it wasn't documented (and in fact wasn't true when this code was
committed...). But it only takes a couple more lines to make its internal
caching behavior locale-aware, so let's do that.
Otherwise, the SLRU machinery can get confused and think that the SLRU
has wrapped around. Along the way, regardless of whether we're
truncating all of the SLRU or just some of it, flush pages after
truncating, rather than before.

Honor index column's collation spec if there is one, don't go to the
expense of calling get_typcollation when we can reasonably assume that
all GIN storage types will use default collation, and be sure to set
a collation for the comparePartialFn too.
All the other fields of the constant are being extracted from the syscache
entry we already have, so handle collation similarly. (There don't seem
to be any other uses for the new function at the moment.)
When a regular lock is held, SSI can use that in lieu of a predicate lock
to detect rw conflicts; but if the regular lock is being taken by a
subtransaction, we can't assume that it'll commit, so releasing the
parent transaction's lock in that case is a no-no.

If we call hash_search() with HASH_ENTER, it will bail out rather than
return NULL, so it's redundant to check for NULL again in the caller.
Thus, in cases where we believe it's impossible for the hash table to run
out of slots anyway, we can simplify the code slightly.
On the flip side, in cases where it's theoretically possible to run out of
space, we don't want to rely on dynahash.c to throw an error; instead,
we pass HASH_ENTER_NULL and throw the error ourselves if a NULL comes
back, so that we can provide a more descriptive error message.

Remove the hard-wired assumption that __mips__ (and only __mips__) lacks
dlopen in FreeBSD and OpenBSD. This assumption is outdated at least for
OpenBSD, as per report from an anonymous 9.1 tester. We can perfectly well
use HAVE_DLOPEN instead to decide which code to use.
Some other cosmetic adjustments to make freebsd.c, netbsd.c, and openbsd.c
exactly alike.
Previous patches took care of assorted places that call transformExpr from
outside the main parser, but I overlooked the fact that some places use
transformWhereClause as a shortcut for transformExpr + coerce_to_boolean.
In particular this broke collation-sensitive index WHERE clauses, as per
report from Thom Brown. Trigger WHEN and rule WHERE clauses too.
I'm not forcing initdb for this fix, but any affected indexes, triggers,
or rules will need to be dropped and recreated.
The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks
and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't.
Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the
"canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do
an actual assignment. And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by
Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus
log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without
restarting the server". There may be some speed advantage too, because
this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when
restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed
representation of the value instead). This patch also resolves a
longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign
hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message
about "invalid parameter value".
When we release and reacquire SerializableXactHashLock, we must recheck
whether an R/W conflict still needs to be flagged, because it could have
changed under us in the meantime. And when we release the partition
lock, we must re-walk the list of predicate locks from the beginning,
because our pointer could get invalidated under us.
Bug report #5952 by Yamamoto Takashi. Patch by Kevin Grittner.
Also avoid hardcoding the current default state by giving it the name
"on" and replace with a meaningful name that reflects its behaviour.
Coding only, no change in behaviour.
This means one less thing to configure when setting up synchronous
replication, and also avoids some ambiguity around what the behavior
should be when the settings of these variables conflict.
Fujii Masao, with additional hacking by me.
The previous coding set attinhcount too high in some cases, resulting in
an undumpable, undroppable column. Per bug #5856, reported by Naoya
Anzai. See also commit 31b6fc06d8, which
fixes a similar bug in ALTER TABLE .. ADD CONSTRAINT.
Patch by Noah Misch.
If a smart shutdown occurs just as a child is starting up, and the
child subsequently becomes a walsender, there is a race condition:
the postmaster might count the exstant backends, determine that there
is one normal backend, and wait for it to die off. Had the walsender
transition already occurred before the postmaster counted, it would
have proceeded with the shutdown.
To fix this, have each child that transforms into a walsender kick
the postmaster just after doing so, so that the state machine is
certain to advance.

This mostly involves making it work with the objectaddress.c framework,
which does most of the heavy lifting. In that vein, change
GetForeignDataWrapperOidByName to get_foreign_data_wrapper_oid and
GetForeignServerOidByName to get_foreign_server_oid, to match the
pattern we use for other object types.

RemoveTargetIfNoLongerUsed, it was neglected when we changed the way update
chains are handled.

archive recovery.
It's possible to restore an online backup without recovery.conf, by simply
copying all the necessary WAL files to pg_xlog. "pg_basebackup -x" does that
too. That's the use case where this cross-check is useful.
Backpatch to 9.0. We used to do this in earlier versins, but in 9.0 the code
was inadvertently changed so that the check is only performed after archive
recovery.

than replication_timeout (a new GUC) milliseconds. The TCP timeout is often
too long, you want the master to notice a dead connection much sooner.
People complained about that in 9.0 too, but with synchronous replication
it's even more important to notice dead connections promptly.

Feature F692 "Extended collation support" is now also supported. This
refers to allowing the COLLATE clause anywhere in a column or domain
definition instead of just directly after the type.
Also correct the name of the feature in accordance with the latest SQL
standard.
Eventually we might be able to allow that, but it's not clear how many
places need to be fixed to prevent infinite recursion when there's a direct
or indirect inclusion of a rowtype in itself. One such place is
CheckAttributeType(), which will recurse to stack overflow in cases such as
those exhibited in bug #5950 from Alex Perepelica. If we were sure it was
the only such place, we could easily modify the code added by this patch to
stop the recursion without a complaint ... but it probably isn't the only
such place. Hence, throw error until such time as someone is excited
enough about this type of usage to put work into making it safe.
Back-patch as far as 8.3. 8.2 doesn't have the recursive call in
CheckAttributeType in the first place, so I see no need to add code there
in the absence of clear evidence of a problem elsewhere.
I'm not sure these have any non-cosmetic implications, but I'm not sure
they don't, either. In particular, ensure the CaseTestExpr generated
by transformAssignmentIndirection to represent the base target column
carries the correct collation, because parse_collate.c won't fix that.
Tweak lsyscache.c API so that we can get the appropriate collation
without an extra syscache lookup.
In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and
in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than
the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it
significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in
changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup
is both expensive and wrong.
It originally worked this way, but was changed by commit
a8a8a3e096, since which time it's been impossible
for walreceiver to ever send a reply with write_location and flush_location
set to different values.
Ensure that parameter symbols receive collation from the function's
resolved input collation, and fix inlining to behave properly.
BTW, this commit lays about 90% of the infrastructure needed to support
use of argument names in SQL functions. Parsing of parameters is now
done via the parser-hook infrastructure ... we'd just need to supply
a column-ref hook ...
Ensure that COLLATE at the top level of an index expression is treated the
same as a grammatically separate COLLATE. Fix bogus reverse-parsing logic
in pg_get_indexdef.
Change location LOG message so it works each time we pause, not
just for final pause.
Ensure that we pause only if we are in Hot Standby and can connect
to allow us to run resume function. This change supercedes the
code to override parameter recoveryPauseAtTarget to false if not
attempting to enter Hot Standby, which is now removed.
This is no longer necessary, and might result in a situation where the
configuration file is reloaded (and everything seems OK) but a subsequent
restart of the database fails.
Per an observation from Fujii Masao.
Startup process waited for cleanup lock but when hot_standby = off
the pid was not registered, so that the bgwriter would not wake
the waiting process as intended.
pg_newlocale_from_collation does not have enough context to give an error
message that's even a little bit useful, so move the responsibility for
complaining up to its callers. Also, reword ERRCODE_INDETERMINATE_COLLATION
error messages in a less jargony, more message-style-guide-compliant
fashion.
This restores a parse error that was thrown (though only in the ORDER BY
case) by the original collation patch. I had removed it in my recent
revisions because it was thrown at a place where collations now haven't
been computed yet; but I thought of another way to handle it.
Throwing the error at parse time, rather than leaving it to be done at
runtime, is good because a syntax error pointer is helpful for localizing
the problem. We can reasonably assume that the comparison function for a
collatable datatype will complain if it doesn't have a collation to use.
Now the planner might choose to implement GROUP or DISTINCT via hashing,
in which case no runtime error would actually occur, but it seems better
to throw error consistently rather than let the error depend on what the
planner chooses to do. Another possible objection is that the user might
specify a nondefault sort operator that doesn't care about collation
... but that's surely an uncommon usage, and it wouldn't hurt him to throw
in a COLLATE clause anyway. This change also makes the ORDER BY/GROUP
BY/DISTINCT case more consistent with the UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT case,
which was already coded to throw this error even though the same objections
could be raised there.
Opening a catcache's index could require reading from that cache's own
catalog, which of course would acquire AccessShareLock on the catalog.
So the original coding here risks locking index before heap, which could
deadlock against another backend trying to get exclusive locks in the
normal order. Because InitCatCachePhase2 is only called when a backend
has to start up without a relcache init file, the deadlock was seldom seen
in the field. (And by the same token, there's no need to worry about any
performance disadvantage; so not much point in trying to distinguish
exactly which catalogs have the risk.)
Bug report, diagnosis, and patch by Nikhil Sontakke. Additional commentary
by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.
Instead of playing cute games with pathkeys, just build a direct
representation of the intended sub-select, and feed it through
query_planner to get a Path for the index access. This is a bit slower
than 9.1's previous method, since we'll duplicate most of the overhead of
query_planner; but since the whole optimization only applies to rather
simple single-table queries, that probably won't be much of a problem in
practice. The advantage is that we get to do the right thing when there's
a partial index that needs the implicit IS NOT NULL clause to be usable.
Also, although this makes planagg.c be a bit more closely tied to the
ordering of operations in grouping_planner, we can get rid of some coupling
to lower-level parts of the planner. Per complaint from Marti Raudsepp.
