On closer inspection, whining in restore_toc_entries_parallel is really
much too late for any user-facing error case. The right place to do it
is at the start of RestoreArchive(), before we've done anything interesting
(suh as trying to DROP all the targets ...)
Back-patch to 8.4, where parallel restore was introduced.
If we are unable to do a parallel restore because the input file is stdin
or is otherwise unseekable, we should complain and fail immediately, not
after having done some of the restore. Complaining once per thread isn't
so cool either, and the messages should be worded to make it clear this is
an unsupported case not some weird race-condition bug. Per complaint from
Lonni Friedman.
Back-patch to 8.4, where parallel restore was introduced.
pg_backup_db.c contained a mini SQL lexer with which it tried to identify
boundaries between SQL commands, but that code was not designed to cope
with standard_conforming_strings, and would get the wrong answer if a
backslash immediately precedes a closing single quote in such a string,
as per report from Julian Mehnle. The bug only affects direct-to-database
restores from archive files made with standard_conforming_strings = on.
Rather than complicating the code some more to try to fix that, let's just
rip it all out. The only reason it was needed was to cope with COPY data
embedded into ordinary archive entries, which was a layout that was used
only for about the first three weeks of the archive format's existence,
and never in any production release of pg_dump. Instead, just rely on the
archive file layout to tell us whether we're printing COPY data or not.
This bug represents a data corruption hazard in all releases in which
standard_conforming_strings can be turned on, ie 8.2 and later, so
back-patch to all supported branches.
This requires a new shared catalog, pg_shseclabel.
Along the way, fix the security_label regression tests so that they
don't monkey with the labels of any pre-existing objects. This is
unlikely to matter in practice, since only the label for the "dummy"
provider was being manipulated. But this way still seems cleaner.
KaiGai Kohei, with fairly extensive hacking by me.
The --flag argument can be used to tell xgettext the arguments of
which functions should be flagged with c-format in the PO files,
instead of guessing based on the presence of format specifiers, which
fails if no format specifiers are present but the translation
accidentally introduces one.
Appropriate flag settings have been added for each message catalog.
based on a patch by Christoph Berg for bug #6066
It currently doesn't make a difference, but it's inconsistent with
most other usage, and it might interfere with a future patch, so I'll
change it all in a separate commit.
Also, replace tabs with spaces for alignment.
For some reason, when we (I) added table lock acquisition to pg_dump,
we didn't think about making it happen as soon as possible after the
start of the transaction. What with subsequent additions, there was
actually quite a lot going on before we got around to that; which sort
of defeats the purpose. Rearrange the order of calls in dumpSchema()
to close the risk window as much as we easily can. Back-patch to all
supported branches.
This is consistent with the behavior of other global objects such as
languages and extensions.
Omitting foreign servers also omits the respective user mappings.
We initially had pg_dump emit CREATE EXTENSION commands unconditionally.
However, pg_dump has long been in the habit of not dumping procedural
language definitions when a --schema or --table switch is given. It seems
appropriate to handle extensions the same way, since like PLs they are SQL
objects that are not in any particular schema. Per complaint from Adrian
Schreyer.
For the --help output and reference pages of pg_dump, pg_dumpall,
pg_restore, put the options in some consistent, mostly alphabetical,
and consistent order, rather than newest option last or something like
that.
pg_dump has some heuristic rules for whether to dump casts and procedural
languages, since it's not all that easy to distinguish built-in ones from
user-defined ones. However, we should not apply those rules to objects
that belong to an extension, but just use the perfectly well-defined rules
for what to do with extension member objects. Otherwise we might
mistakenly lose extension member objects during a binary upgrade (which is
the only time that we'd want to dump extension members).
This commit fixes psql, pg_dump, and the information schema to be
consistent with the backend changes which I made as part of commit
be90032e0d, and also includes a
related documentation tweak.
Shigeru Hanada, with slight adjustment.
The style is set to "printf" for backwards compatibility everywhere except
on Windows, where it is set to "gnu_printf", which eliminates hundreds of
false error messages from modern versions of gcc arising from %m and %ll{d,u}
formats.
Instead of dumping them as CREATE TABLE ... OF, dump them as normal
tables with the usual special processing for dropped columns, and then
attach them to the type afterward, using ALTER TABLE ... OF. This is
analogous to the existing handling of inherited tables.
This warning is new in gcc 4.6 and part of -Wall. This patch cleans
up most of the noise, but there are some still warnings that are
trickier to remove.
The original coding supposed that a dump TOC file could never contain lines
longer than 1K. The folly of that was exposed by a recent report from
Per-Olov Esgard. We only really need to see the first dozen or two bytes
of each line, since we're just trying to read off the numeric ID at the
start of the line; so there's no need for a particularly huge buffer.
What there is a need for is logic to not process continuation bufferloads.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since it's always been like this.
This is needed only in 9.1 because only 9.0 had this and no one is
upgrading from a 9.0 beta to 9.0 anymore. We basically don't backpatch
9.0 beta fixes at this point.
The last version in which these options were documented is now EOL, so
it's time to get rid of them for real. We now use GNU-style long
options instead.
Including collation in the behavior of that function promotes a world view
we do not want. Moreover, it was producing the wrong behavior for pg_dump
anyway: what we want is to dump a COLLATE clause on attributes whose
attcollation is different from the underlying type, and likewise for
domains, and the function cannot do that for us. Doing it the hard way
in pg_dump is a bit more tedious but produces more correct output.
In passing, fix initdb so that the initial entry in pg_collation is
properly pinned. It was droppable before :-(
This mostly just involves creating control, install, and
update-from-unpackaged scripts for them. However, I had to adjust plperl
and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants,
because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions.
catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because
initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language.
Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare
languages.
Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial
hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want
an extra schema permissions test after all.
Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see
whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).
Remove the unconditional superuser permissions check in CREATE EXTENSION,
and instead define a "superuser" extension property, which when false
(not the default) skips the superuser permissions check. In this case
the calling user only needs enough permissions to execute the commands
in the extension's installation script. The superuser property is also
enforced in the same way for ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE cases.
In other ALTER EXTENSION cases and DROP EXTENSION, test ownership of
the extension rather than superuserness. ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP needs
to insist on ownership of the target object as well; to do that without
duplicating code, refactor comment.c's big switch for permissions checks
into a separate function in objectaddress.c.
I also removed the superuserness checks in pg_available_extensions and
related functions; there's no strong reason why everybody shouldn't
be able to see that info.
Also invent an IF NOT EXISTS variant of CREATE EXTENSION, and use that
in pg_dump, so that dumps won't fail for installed-by-default extensions.
We don't have any of those yet, but we will soon.
This is all per discussion of wrapping the standard procedural languages
into extensions. I'll make those changes in a separate commit; this is
just putting the core infrastructure in place.
Add a fdwhandler column to pg_foreign_data_wrapper, plus HANDLER options
in the CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER and ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER commands,
plus pg_dump support for same. Also invent a new pseudotype fdw_handler
with properties similar to language_handler.
This is split out of the "FDW API" patch for ease of review; it's all stuff
we will certainly need, regardless of any other details of the FDW API.
FDW handler functions will not actually get called yet.
In passing, fix some omissions and infelicities in foreigncmds.c.

The previous coding would try to process all SECTION_NONE items in the
initial sequential-restore pass, which failed if they were dependencies of
not-yet-restored items. Fix by postponing such items into the parallel
processing pass once we have skipped any non-PRE_DATA item.
Back-patch into 9.0; the original parallel-restore coding in 8.4 did not
have this bug, so no need to change it.
Report and diagnosis by Arnd Hannemann.
Normally, pg_dump summarily excludes functions in pg_catalog from
consideration. However, some extensions may create functions in pg_catalog
(adminpack already does that, and extensions for procedural languages will
likely do it too). In binary-upgrade mode, we have to dump such functions,
or the extension will be incomplete after upgrading. Per experimentation
with adminpack.
- collowner field
- CREATE COLLATION
- ALTER COLLATION
- DROP COLLATION
- COMMENT ON COLLATION
- integration with extensions
- pg_dump support for the above
- dependency management
- psql tab completion
- psql \dO command
This follows recent discussions, so it's quite a bit different from
Dimitri's original. There will probably be more changes once we get a bit
of experience with it, but let's get it in and start playing with it.
This is still just core code. I'll start converting contrib modules
shortly.
