This can change the meaning of queries, if the blank line happens to
occur in the middle of a quoted literal, as per complaint from Tomas Vondra.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Previously, you'd get "function pg_catalog.pg_get_functiondef(integer) does
not exist", which is at best rather unprofessional-looking. Back-patch
to 8.4 where \ef was introduced.

The heuristic for when to dump a cast failed for a cast between table
rowtypes, as reported by Frédéric Rejol. Fix it by setting
the "dump" flag for such a type the same way as the flag is set for the
underlying table or base type. This won't result in the auto-generated
type appearing in the output, since setting its objType to DO_DUMMY_TYPE
unconditionally suppresses that. But it will result in dumpCast doing what
was intended.
Back-patch to 8.3. The 8.2 code is rather different in this area, and it
doesn't seem worth any risk to fix a corner case that nobody has stumbled
on before.
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.
handleCopyIn incremented pset.lineno for each line of COPY data read from
a file. This is correct when reading from the current script file (i.e.,
we are doing COPY FROM STDIN followed by in-line data), but it's wrong if
the data is coming from some other file. Per bug #6083 from Steve Haslam.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
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.
"People's Republic of China" locale on Windows was causing initdb to fail.
This fixes bug #5818 reported by yulei. On master, this makes the mapping
of "People's Republic of China" to just "China" obsolete. In 9.0 and 8.4,
just fix the escaping. Earlier versions didn't have locale names in bki
file.
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.
Specifically, this makes the workflow pg_dump -Fc -> pg_restore -> file
produce correct output for BLOBs when the source database has
standard_conforming_strings turned on. It was already okay when that was
off, or if pg_restore was told to restore directly into a database.
This is a back-port of commit b1732111f2 of
2009-08-04, with additional changes to emit old-style escaped bytea data
instead of hex-style. At the time, we had not heard of anyone encountering
the problem in the field, so I judged it not worth the risk of changing
back branches. Now we do have a report, from Bosco Rama, so back-patch
into 8.2 through 8.4. 9.0 and up are okay already.
servers. AFAICT it's harmless at the moment because nothing can depend on
either, but as soon as we introduce an object type with such dependencies,
tableoid needs to be set or pg_dump will fail to interpret the dependencies
correctly. In theory, I guess the uninitialized garbage in tableoid could
cause the object to be mistaken for some other object with same OID as well.
The original coding tended to break down in the face of modified restore
orders, as shown in bug #5626 from Albert Ullrich, because it would flip over
into parallel-restore operation too soon. That causes problems because we
don't have sufficient dependency information in dump archives to allow safe
parallel processing of SECTION_PRE_DATA items. Even if we did, it's probably
undesirable to allow that to override the commanded restore order.
To fix the problem of omitted items causing unexpected changes in restore
order, tweak SortTocFromFile so that omitted items end up at the head of
the list not the tail. This ensures that they'll be examined and their
dependencies will be marked satisfied before we get to any interesting
items.
In HEAD and 9.0, we can easily change restore_toc_entries_parallel so that
all SECTION_PRE_DATA items are guaranteed to be processed in the initial
serial-restore loop, and hence in commanded order. Only DATA and POST_DATA
items are candidates for parallel processing. For them there might be
variations from the commanded order because of parallelism, but we should
do it in a safe order thanks to dependencies.
In 8.4 it's much harder to make such a guarantee. I settled for not
letting the initial loop break out into parallel processing mode if
it sees a DATA/POST_DATA item that's not to be restored; this at least
prevents a non-restorable item from causing premature exit from the loop.
This means that 8.4 will be more likely to fail given a badly-ordered -L
list than 9.x, but we don't really promise any such thing will work anyway.
in particular, propagate a fix in the test to see whether a UTF8 character has
length 4 bytes. This is likely of little real-world consequence because
5-or-more-byte UTF8 sequences are not supported by Postgres nor seen anywhere
in the wild, but still we may as well get it right. Problem found by Joseph
Adams.
Bug is aboriginal, so back-patch all the way.
to dump a PUBLIC user mapping correctly, as per bug #5560 from Shigeru Hanada.
Use the pg_user_mappings view rather than trying to access pg_user_mapping
directly, so that the code doesn't fail when run by a non-superuser. And
clean up some minor carelessness such as unsafe usage of fmtId().
Back-patch to 8.4 where this code was added.
as well as fseeko, and to not assume that fseeko(fp, 0, SEEK_CUR) proves
anything. Also improve some related comments. Per my observation that
the SEEK_CUR test didn't actually work on some platforms, and subsequent
discussion with Robert Haas.
Back-patch to 8.4. In earlier releases it's not that important whether
we get the hasSeek test right, but with parallel restore it matters.
contain data offsets (which it won't, if pg_dump thought its output wasn't
seekable). To do that, remove an unnecessarily aggressive error check, and
instead fail if we get to the end of the archive without finding the desired
data item. Also improve the error message to be more specific about the
cause of the problem. Per discussion of recent report from Igor Neyman.
Back-patch to 8.4 where parallel restore was introduced.
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".
refers to itself (directly or indirectly). Instead, print a message when
recursion is detected, and don't expand the repeated reference. Per bug
#5448 from Francis Markham.
Back-patch to 8.0. Although the issue exists in 7.4 as well, it seems
impractical to fix there because of the lack of any state stack that
could be used to track active expansions.
the SELECT query in \copy (SELECT ...) commands. This is unnecessary and
breaks numeric literals, as seen in bug #5411 from Vitalii Tymchyshyn.
This change has already been made in passing in HEAD; backpatch to 8.2
through 8.4 (earlier releases don't have COPY (SELECT ...) at all).
--single-transaction are both used and the failure happens in commit,
e.g. failed deferred trigger. Also properly free BEGIN/COMMIT result
structures from --single-transaction.
Per report from Dominic Bevacqua
formats; a null string must not be formatted as a numeric. The more exotic
formats latex and troff also incorrectly formatted all strings as numerics
when numericlocale was on.
Backpatch to 8.1 where numericlocale option was added.
This fixes bug #5355 reported by Andy Lester.
(failure to free col_lineptrs[] array elements) and exacerbated in the
current devel cycle (failure to free "wrap"). This resulted in moderate
bloat of psql over long script runs. Noted while testing bug #5302,
although what the reporter was complaining of was backend-side leakage.
dump IDs, because the array we're using is sized according to the highest
dump ID actually defined in the archive file. In a partial dump there could
be references to higher dump IDs that weren't dumped. Treat these the same
as references to in-range IDs that weren't dumped. (The whole thing is a
bit scary because the missing objects might have been part of dependency
chains, which we won't know about. Not much we can do though --- throwing
an error is probably overreaction.)
Also, reject parallel restore with pre-1.8 archive version (made by pre-8.0
pg_dump). In these old versions the dependency entries are OIDs, not dump
IDs, and we don't have enough information to interpret them.
Per bug #5288 from Jon Erdman.
mainloop.c. This ensures that postgres_fe.h is read before including
any system headers, which is necessary to avoid problems on some platforms
where we make nondefault selections of feature macros for stdio.h or
other headers. We have had this policy for flex modules in the backend
for many years, but for some reason it was not applied to psql.
Per trouble report from Alexandra Roy and diagnosis by Albe Laurenz.
