9 dayspsql: fix order of join clauses when listing extensionsMagnus Hagander
Commit d696406a9b2 added a new join to the query for extensions, but did so in the wrong place, causing the AND clause to be applied to the wrong join.

2025-04-07Allow NOT NULL constraints to be added as NOT VALIDÁlvaro Herrera
This allows them to be added without scanning the table, and validating them afterwards without holding access exclusive lock on the table after any violating rows have been deleted or fixed. Doing ALTER TABLE ... SET NOT NULL for a column that has an invalid not-null constraint validates that constraint. ALTER TABLE .. VALIDATE CONSTRAINT is also supported. There are various checks on whether an invalid constraint is allowed in a child table when the parent table has a valid constraint; this should match what we do for enforced/not enforced constraints. pg_attribute.attnotnull is now only an indicator for whether a not-null constraint exists for the column; whether it's valid or invalid must be queried in pg_constraint. Applications can continue to query pg_attribute.attnotnull as before, but now it's possible that NULL rows are present in the column even when that's set to true. For backend internal purposes, we cache the nullability status in CompactAttribute->attnullability that each tuple descriptor carries (replacing CompactAttribute.attnotnull, which was a mirror of Form_pg_attribute.attnotnull). During the initial tuple descriptor creation, based on the pg_attribute scan, we set this to UNRESTRICTED if pg_attribute.attnotnull is false, or to UNKNOWN if it's true; then we update the latter to VALID or INVALID depending on the pg_constraint scan. This flag is also copied when tupledescs are copied. Comparing tuple descs for equality must also compare the CompactAttribute.attnullability flag and return false in case of a mismatch. pg_dump deals with these constraints by storing the OIDs of invalid not-null constraints in a separate array, and running a query to obtain their properties. The regular table creation SQL omits them entirely. They are then dealt with in the same way as "separate" CHECK constraints, and dumped after the data has been loaded. Because no additional pg_dump infrastructure was required, we don't bump its version number. I decided not to bump catversion either, because the old catalog state works perfectly in the new world. (Trying to run with new catalog state and the old server version would likely run into issues, however.) System catalogs do not support invalid not-null constraints (because commit 14e87ffa5c54 didn't allow them to have pg_constraint rows anyway.)

2025-04-04Extend ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES to define default privileges for large objects.Fujii Masao
Previously, ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES did not support large objects. This meant that to grant privileges to users other than the owner, permissions had to be manually assigned each time a large object was created, which was inconvenient. This commit extends ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES to allow defining default access privileges for large objects. With this change, specified privileges will automatically apply to newly created large objects, making privilege management more efficient. As a side effect, this commit introduces the new keyword OBJECTS since it's used in the syntax of ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES.

2025-04-02Add support for NOT ENFORCED in foreign key constraintsPeter Eisentraut
This expands the NOT ENFORCED constraint flag, previously only supported for CHECK constraints (commit ca87c415e2f), to foreign key constraints. Normally, when a foreign key constraint is created on a table, action and check triggers are added to maintain data integrity. With this patch, if a constraint is marked as NOT ENFORCED, integrity checks are no longer required, making these triggers unnecessary. Consequently, when creating a NOT ENFORCED foreign key constraint, triggers will not be created, and the constraint will be marked as NOT VALID. Similarly, if an existing foreign key constraint is changed to NOT ENFORCED, the associated triggers will be dropped, and the constraint will also be marked as NOT VALID. Conversely, if a NOT ENFORCED foreign key constraint is changed to ENFORCED, the necessary triggers will be created, and the will be changed to VALID by performing necessary validation. Since not-enforced foreign key constraints have no triggers, the shortcut used for example in psql and pg_dump to skip looking for foreign keys if the relation is known not to have triggers no longer applies. (It already didn't work for partitioned tables.)

2025-02-07Virtual generated columnsPeter Eisentraut
This adds a new variant of generated columns that are computed on read (like a view, unlike the existing stored generated columns, which are computed on write, like a materialized view). The syntax for the column definition is ... GENERATED ALWAYS AS (...) VIRTUAL and VIRTUAL is also optional. VIRTUAL is the default rather than STORED to match various other SQL products. (The SQL standard makes no specification about this, but it also doesn't know about VIRTUAL or STORED.) (Also, virtual views are the default, rather than materialized views.) Virtual generated columns are stored in tuples as null values. (A very early version of this patch had the ambition to not store them at all. But so much stuff breaks or gets confused if you have tuples where a column in the middle is completely missing. This is a compromise, and it still saves space over being forced to use stored generated columns. If we ever find a way to improve this, a bit of pg_upgrade cleverness could allow for upgrades to a newer scheme.) The capabilities and restrictions of virtual generated columns are mostly the same as for stored generated columns. In some cases, this patch keeps virtual generated columns more restricted than they might technically need to be, to keep the two kinds consistent. Some of that could maybe be relaxed later after separate careful considerations. Some functionality that is currently not supported, but could possibly be added as incremental features, some easier than others: - index on or using a virtual column - hence also no unique constraints on virtual columns - extended statistics on virtual columns - foreign-key constraints on virtual columns - not-null constraints on virtual columns (check constraints are supported) - ALTER TABLE / DROP EXPRESSION - virtual column cannot have domain type - virtual columns are not supported in logical replication The tests in generated_virtual.sql have been copied over from generated_stored.sql with the keyword replaced. This way we can make sure the behavior is mostly aligned, and the differences can be visible. Some tests for currently not supported features are currently commented out.

2025-02-05Show more-intuitive titles for psql commands \dt, \di, etc.Tom Lane
If exactly one relation type is requested in a command of the \dtisv family, say "tables", "indexes", etc instead of "relations". This should cover the majority of actual uses, without creating a huge number of new translatable strings. The error messages for no matching relations are adjusted as well. In passing, invent "pg_log_error_internal()" to be used for frontend error messages that don't seem to need translation, analogously to errmsg_internal() in the backend. The implementation is a bit cheesy, being just a macro to prevent xgettext from recognizing a trigger keyword. This won't avoid a useless gettext lookup cycle at runtime --- but surely we don't care about an extra microsecond or two in what's supposed to be a can't-happen case. I (tgl) also made "pg_fatal_internal()", though it's not used in this patch.

This allows "x" to be appended to any psql list-like meta-command, forcing its output to be displayed in expanded mode. This improves readability in cases where the output is very wide. For example, "\dfx+" (or equivalently "\df+x") will produce a list of functions, with additional details, in expanded mode. This works with all \d* meta-commands, plus \l, \z, and \lo_list, with the one exception that the expanded mode option "x" cannot be appended to "\d" by itself, since "\dx" already means something else.

This commit fixes some inconsistencies found in the frontend code when dealing with subscription catalog data. The following changes are done: - pg_subscription.h gains a EXPOSE_TO_CLIENT_CODE, so as more content defined in pg_subscription.h becomes available in pg_subscription_d.h for the frontend. - In psql's describe.c, substream can be switched to use CppAsString2() with its three LOGICALREP_STREAM_* values, with pg_subscription_d.h included. - pg_dump.c included pg_subscription.h, which is a header that should only be used in the backend code. The code is updated to use pg_subscription_d.h instead. - pg_dump stored all the data from pg_subscription in SubscriptionInfo with only strings, and a good chunk of them are boolean and char values. Using strings is not necessary, complicates the code (see for example two_phase_disabled[] removed here), and is inconsistent with the way other catalogs' data is handled.

The queries are written the same way as originally. There are still a couple of hardcoded values. These cannot be included yet as they are not exposed in headers that are safe to use in frontend code. Note that describe.c was including pg_am.h that should be used only in backend code.

2024-11-08Add pg_constraint rows for not-null constraintsÁlvaro Herrera
We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints on user tables. Only one such constraint is allowed for a column. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter or remove it, instead matching by the name of the column that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. The inheritance status of these constraints can be controlled: now we can be sure that if a parent table has one, then all children will have it as well. They can optionally be marked NO INHERIT, and then children are free not to have one. (There's currently no support for altering a NO INHERIT constraint into inheriting down the hierarchy, but that's a desirable future feature.) This also opens the door for having these constraints be marked NOT VALID, as well as allowing UNIQUE+NOT NULL to be used for functional dependency determination, as envisioned by commit e49ae8d3bc58. It's likely possible to allow DEFERRABLE constraints as followup work, as well. psql shows these constraints in \d+, though we may want to reconsider if this turns out to be too noisy. Earlier versions of this patch hid constraints that were on the same columns of the primary key, but I'm not sure that that's very useful. If clutter is a problem, we might be better off inventing a new \d++ command and not showing the constraints in \d+. For now, we omit these constraints on system catalog columns, because they're unlikely to achieve anything. The main difference to the previous attempt at this (b0e96f311985) is that we now require that such a constraint always exists when a primary key is in the column; we didn't require this previously which had a number of unpalatable consequences. With this requirement, the code is easier to reason about. For example: - We no longer have "throwaway constraints" during pg_dump. We needed those for the case where a table had a PK without a not-null underneath, to prevent a slow scan of the data during restore of the PK creation, which was particularly problematic for pg_upgrade. - We no longer have to cope with attnotnull being set spuriously in case a primary key is dropped indirectly (e.g., via DROP COLUMN).

2024-09-17Add temporal PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraintsPeter Eisentraut
Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints. These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of the key and && for the temporal part. (previously committed as 46a0cd4cefb, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new part is this:) Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal expectations. For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value from any of their rows. So we need to forbid empties. This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above). Documentation and tests for this are added. But this could conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for the notion of "empty" for other types. Author: Paul A.

2024-04-15Fix ALTER DOMAIN NOT NULL syntaxPeter Eisentraut
This addresses a few problems with commit e5da0fe3c22 ("Catalog domain not-null constraints"). In CREATE DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like CREATE DOMAIN d1 AS int [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL (Before e5da0fe3c22, the constraint name was accepted but ignored.) But in ALTER DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL VALUE where VALUE is where for a table constraint the column name would be. (This works as of e5da0fe3c22. Before e5da0fe3c22, this syntax resulted in an internal error.) But for domains, this latter syntax is confusing and needlessly inconsistent between CREATE and ALTER. So this changes it to just ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL (None of these syntaxes are per SQL standard; we are just living with the bits of inconsistency that have built up over time.) In passing, this also changes the psql \dD output to not show not-null constraints in the column "Check", since it's already shown in the column "Nullable". This has also been off since e5da0fe3c22.

2024-03-14Introduce "builtin" collation provider.Jeff Davis
New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any external dependency. Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C", which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the new builtin provider uses the same implementation. The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider. By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes it easier to document the behavior.

2024-03-05Rename pg_constraint.conwithoutoverlaps to conperiodPeter Eisentraut
pg_constraint.conwithoutoverlaps was recently added to support primary keys and unique constraints with the WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause. An upcoming patch provides the foreign-key side of this functionality, but the syntax there is different and uses the keyword PERIOD. It would make sense to use the same pg_constraint field for both of these, but then we should pick a more general name that conveys "this constraint has a temporal/period-related feature". conperiod works for that and is nicely compact. Changing this now avoids possibly having to introduce versioning into clients. Note there are still some "without overlaps" variables left, which deal specifically with the parsing of the primary key/unique constraint feature. Author: Paul A.

2024-01-30Add a failover option to subscriptions.Amit Kapila
This commit introduces a new subscription option named 'failover', which provides users with the ability to set the failover property of the replication slot on the publisher when creating or altering a subscription. This uses the replication commands introduced by commit 7329240437 to enable the failover option for a logical replication slot. If the failover option is set to true, the associated replication slots (i.e. the main slot and the table sync slots) in the upstream database are enabled to be synchronized to the standbys. Note that the capability to sync the replication slots will be added in subsequent commits. Thanks to Masahiko Sawada for the design inputs.

2023-11-13Improve default and empty privilege outputs in psql.Tom Lane
Default privileges are represented as NULL::aclitem[] in catalog ACL columns, while revoking all privileges leaves an empty aclitem[]. These two cases used to produce identical output in psql meta-commands like \dp. Using something like "\pset null '(default)'" as a workaround for spotting the difference did not work, because null values were always displayed as empty strings by describe.c's meta-commands. This patch improves that with two changes: 1. Print "(none)" for empty privileges so that the user is able to distinguish them from default privileges, even without special workarounds. 2. Remove the special handling of null values in describe.c, so that "\pset null" is honored like everywhere else. (This affects all output from these commands, not only ACLs.) The privileges shown by \dconfig+ and \ddp as well as the column privileges shown by \dp are not affected by change #1, because the respective aclitem[] is reset to NULL or deleted from the catalog instead of leaving an empty array.

2023-08-25Catalog not-null constraintsAlvaro Herrera
We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. We also spawn not-null constraints for inheritance child tables when their parents have primary keys. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it, instead matching by column name that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. For now, we omit them for system catalogs. Maybe this is worth reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is already large and complicated enough.) psql shows these constraints in \d+. pg_dump requires some ad-hoc hacks, particularly when dumping a primary key. We now create one "throwaway" not-null constraint for each column in the PK together with the CREATE TABLE command, and once the PK is created, all those throwaway constraints are removed. This avoids having to check each tuple for nullness when the dump restores the primary key creation. pg_upgrading from an older release requires a somewhat brittle procedure to create a constraint state that matches what would be created if the database were being created fresh in Postgres 17. I have tested all the scenarios I could think of, and it works correctly as far as I can tell, but I could have neglected weird cases. This patch has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead: manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design (mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current implementation uses contype='n' again. During Postgres 16 this had already been introduced by commit e056c557aef4, but there were some problems mainly with the pg_upgrade procedure that couldn't be fixed in reasonable time, so it was reverted. In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to the letter of the standard, requiring an additional pg_attribute column to track the OID of the not-null constraint for that column.

2023-07-19Add psql \drg command to display role grants.Tom Lane
With the addition of INHERIT and SET options for role grants, the historical display of role memberships in \du/\dg is woefully inadequate. Besides those options, there are pre-existing shortcomings that you can't see the ADMIN option nor the grantor. To fix this, remove the "Member of" column from \du/\dg altogether (making that output usefully narrower), and invent a new meta-command "\drg" that is specifically for displaying role memberships. It shows one row for each role granted to the selected role(s), with the grant options and grantor. We would not normally back-patch such a feature addition post feature freeze, but in this case the change is mainly driven by v16 changes in the server, so it seems appropriate to include it in v16.

2023-04-04Add a run_as_owner option to subscriptions.Robert Haas
This option is normally false, but can be set to true to obtain the legacy behavior where the subscription runs with the permissions of the subscription owner rather than the permissions of the table owner. The advantages of this mode are (1) it doesn't require that the subscription owner have permission to SET ROLE to each table owner and (2) since no role switching occurs, the SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION restrictions do not apply. On the downside, it allows any table owner to easily usurp the privileges of the subscription owner - basically, to take over their account. Because that's generally quite undesirable, we don't make this mode the default, but we do make it available, just in case the new behavior causes too many problems for someone.

Our previous habit of showing the full function body is really pretty unfriendly for tabular viewing of functions, and now that we have \sf and \ef commands there seems no good reason why \df+ has to do it. It still seems to make sense to show prosrc for internal and C-language functions, since in those cases prosrc is just the C function name; but then let's rename the column to "Internal name" which is a more accurate descriptor.

2023-01-09Perform apply of large transactions by parallel workers.Amit Kapila
Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to be applied via parallel workers. In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to "partial serialize" mode - in this mode, the leader serializes all remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker available. This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available. The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour). In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for publications on servers < PG16.
