using SSPI "negotiate" method (Kerberos or NTLM).
Only builds properly with MSVC for now.
log_min_error_statement is active and there is some problem in logging the
current query string; for example, that it's too long to include in the log
message without running out of memory. This problem has existed since the
log_min_error_statement feature was introduced. No doubt the reason it
wasn't detected long ago is that 8.2 is the first release that defaults
log_min_error_statement to less than PANIC level.
Per report from Bill Moran.
truncated relation was deleted later in the WAL sequence. Since replay
normally auto-creates a relation upon its first reference by a WAL log entry,
failure is seen only if the truncate entry happens to be the first reference
after the checkpoint we're restarting from; which is a pretty unusual case but
of course not impossible. Fix by making truncate entries auto-create like
the other ones do. Per report and test case from Dharmendra Goyal.
when handed an invalidly-encoded pattern. The previous coding could get
into an infinite loop if pg_mb2wchar_with_len() returned a zero-length
string after we'd tested for nonempty pattern; which is exactly what it
will do if the string consists only of an incomplete multibyte character.
This led to either an out-of-memory error or a backend crash depending
on platform. Per report from Wiktor Wodecki.
a MIN or MAX aggregate call into an indexscan: the initplan is being made at
the current query nesting level and so we shouldn't increment query_level.
Though usually harmless, this mistake could lead to bogus "plan should not
reference subplan's variable" failures on complex queries. Per bug report
from David Sanchez i Gregori.
referencing table does not change the tuple's FK column(s), we don't bother
to check the PK table since the constraint was presumably already valid.
However, the check is still necessary if the tuple was inserted by our own
transaction, since in that case the INSERT trigger will conclude it need not
make the check (since its version of the tuple has been deleted). We got this
right for simple cases, but not when the insert and update are in different
subtransactions of the current top-level transaction; in such cases the FK
check would never be made at all. (Hence, problem dates back to 8.0 when
subtransactions were added --- it's actually the subtransaction version of a
bug fixed in 7.3.5.) Fix, and add regression test cases. Report and fix by
Affan Salman.
been broken since forever, but was not noticed because people seldom look
at raw parse trees. AFAIK, no impact on users except that debug_print_parse
might fail; but patch it all the way back anyway. Per report from Jeff Ross.
name. With this patch, it is always possible for the user to qualify a
plpgsql variable name if needed to avoid ambiguity. While there is much more
work to be done in this area, this simple change removes one unnecessary
incompatibility with Oracle. Per discussion.
theoretically vary depending on what the compile-time locale setting is.
Hence, force it to see LC_CTYPE=C to ensure consistent build results.
(It's likely that this makes no difference in practice, since our
specification for "identifier" surely includes both ends of any possible
uppercase/lowercase pair anyway. But it should silence warnings about
ambiguous character classes that are reported by some buildfarm members.)
sanely if the loop value overflows int32 on the way to the end value.
Avoid useless computation of "SELECT 1" when BY is omitted. Avoid some
type-punning between Datum and int4 that dates from the original coding.
from old versions of gcc. It's not clear to me that this is really
necessary for correctness, but less warnings are always good.
Per buildfarm results and local testing.
define pg_dlsym() as returning a PGFunction pointer, not just any
pointer-to-function. But many are not. Suppress compiler warnings
on platforms that aren't careful by inserting explicit casts at the
two call sites that didn't have a cast already. Per Stefan.
literally, whether quoted or not. Since we allow $ as a character within
identifiers, this behavior is useful, whereas the previous behavior of
treating it as the regexp ending anchor was nearly useless given that the
pattern is automatically anchored anyway. This affects the arguments of
psql's \d commands as well as pg_dump's -n and -t switches. Per discussion.
SIGQUIT) will be recognized and processed while waiting for input,
rather than only after something has been typed. Also make SIGQUIT
do the same thing as SIGTERM in single-user mode, ie, do a normal
shutdown and exit. Since it's relatively easy to provoke SIGQUIT
from the keyboard, people may try that instead of control-D, and we'd
rather this leads to orderly shutdown. Per report from Leon Mergen
and subsequent discussion.
we don't know at that point which relation OID to tell pgstat to forget.
The code was passing the relfilenode, which is incorrect, and could possibly
cause some other relation's stats to be zeroed out. While we could try to
clean this up, it seems much simpler and more reliable to let the next
invocation of pgstat_vacuum_tabstat() fix things; which indeed is how it
worked before I introduced the buggy code into 8.1.3 and later :-(.
Problem noticed by Itagaki Takahiro, fix is per subsequent discussion.
error message, by using PQconnectionUsedPassword() instead. Someday
we might be able to localize that error message, but not until this
coding technique has disappeared everywhere.
PGconn. Invent a new libpq connection-status function,
PQconnectionUsedPassword() that returns true if the server
demanded a password during authentication, false otherwise.
This may be useful to clients in general, but is immediately
useful to help plug a privilege escalation path in dblink.
Per list discussion and design proposed by Tom Lane.
