We were going into IDLE state too soon when executing queries via PQsendQuery in pipeline mode, causing several scenarios to misbehave in different ways -- most notably, as reported by Daniele Varrazzo, that a warning message is produced by libpq: message type 0x33 arrived from server while idle But it is also possible, if queries are sent and results consumed not in lockstep, for the expected mediating NULL result values from PQgetResult to be lost (a problem which has not been reported, but which is more serious). Fix this by introducing two new concepts: one is a command queue element PGQUERY_CLOSE to tell libpq to wait for the CloseComplete server response to the Close message that is sent by PQsendQuery. Because the application is not expecting any PGresult from this, the mechanism to consume it is a bit hackish. The other concept, authored by Horiguchi-san, is a PGASYNC_PIPELINE_IDLE state for libpq's state machine to differentiate "really idle" from merely "the idle state that occurs in between reading results from the server for elements in the pipeline". This makes libpq not go fully IDLE when the libpq command queue contains entries; in normal cases, we only go IDLE once at the end of the pipeline, when the server response to the final SYNC message is received. (However, there are corner cases it doesn't fix, such as terminating the query sequence by PQsendFlushRequest instead of PQpipelineSync; this sort of scenario is what requires PGQUERY_CLOSE bit above.) This last bit helps make the libpq state machine clearer; in particular we can get rid of an ugly hack in pqParseInput3 to avoid considering IDLE as such when the command queue contains entries. A new test mode is added to libpq_pipeline.c to tickle some related problematic cases.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
