2025-02-10Specify the encoding of input to fmtId()Andres Freund
This commit adds fmtIdEnc() and fmtQualifiedIdEnc(), which allow to specify the encoding as an explicit argument. Additionally setFmtEncoding() is provided, which defines the encoding when no explicit encoding is provided, to avoid breaking all code using fmtId(). All users of fmtId()/fmtQualifiedId() are either converted to the explicit version or a call to setFmtEncoding() has been added. This commit does not yet utilize the now well-defined encoding, that will happen in a subsequent commit.

2021-06-07Fix incautious handling of possibly-miscoded strings in client code.Tom Lane
An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string could cause various processing loops to run past the string's terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following memory. This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of its input. Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command. (If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313. To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string. In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is. It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though, so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling this issue.) Per private report from houjingyi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2021-02-05Move some code from src/bin/scripts to src/fe_utils to permit reuse.Robert Haas
The parallel slots infrastructure (which implements client-side multiplexing of server connections doing similar things, not threading or multiple processes or anything like that) are moved from src/bin/scripts/scripts_parallel.c to src/fe_utils/parallel_slot.c. The functions consumeQueryResult() and processQueryResult() which were previously part of src/bin/scripts/common.c are now moved into that file as well, becoming static helper functions. This might need to be changed in the future, but currently they're not used for anything else. Some other functions from src/bin/scripts/common.c are moved to to src/fe_utils and are split up among several files. connectDatabase(), connectMaintenanceDatabase(), and disconnectDatabase() are moved to connect_utils.c. executeQuery(), executeCommand(), and executeMaintenanceCommand() are move to query_utils.c. handle_help_version_opts() is moved to option_utils.c.

2021-01-22Avoid redundantly prefixing PQerrorMessage for a connection failure.Tom Lane
libpq's error messages for connection failures pretty well stand on their own, especially since commits 52a10224e/27a48e5a1. Prefixing them with 'could not connect to database "foo"' or the like is just redundant, and perhaps even misleading if the specific database name isn't relevant to the failure. (When it is, we trust that the backend's error message will include the DB name.) Indeed, psql hasn't used any such prefix in a long time. So, make all our other programs and documentation examples agree with psql's practice. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1094524.1611266589@sss.pgh.pa.us

2020-10-19Fix connection string handling in src/bin/scripts/ programs.Tom Lane
When told to process all databases, clusterdb, reindexdb, and vacuumdb would reconnect by replacing their --maintenance-db parameter with the name of the target database. If that parameter is a connstring (which has been allowed for a long time, though we failed to document that before this patch), we'd lose any other options it might specify, for example SSL or GSS parameters, possibly resulting in failure to connect. Thus, this is the same bug as commit a45bc8a4f fixed in pg_dump and pg_restore. We can fix it in the same way, by using libpq's rules for handling multiple "dbname" parameters to add the target database name separately. I chose to apply the same refactoring approach as in that patch, with a struct to handle the command line parameters that need to be passed through to connectDatabase. (Maybe someday we can unify the very similar functions here and in pg_dump/pg_restore.) Per Peter Eisentraut's comments on bug #16604. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2020-09-04Remove arbitrary restrictions on password length.Tom Lane
This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged: let's just get rid of those fixed limits. recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size, which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway. It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.) Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep(). The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere, but I'll leave that for another patch.) I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor fit for src/port/ anyway. This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/09512C4F-8CB9-4021-B455-EF4C4F0D55A0@amazon.com

2019-07-19Refactor parallelization processing code in src/bin/scripts/Michael Paquier
The existing facility of vacuumdb to handle parallel connections into a given database with an authentication set is moved to a common file in src/bin/scripts/, named scripts_parallel.c. This introduces a set of routines to initialize, wait and terminate a set of connections, simplifying a bit the code of vacuumdb on the way. More routines related to result handling and database connection are moved to common.c. The initial plan is to use that for reindexdb, but it could be applied to other tools like clusterdb. While on it, clean up a set of variables "progname" which were defined as routine arguments for error messages. Since most of the callers have switched to pg_log_error() and such there is no need for this variable.

2019-05-14Move logging.h and logging.c from src/fe_utils/ to src/common/.Tom Lane
The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered, because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies. That makes it pointless to have distinct libraries at all. The intended design is that libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from the latter to the former are acceptable. We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/. To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design. (logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can dream.) Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system changes made by commit cc8d41511. There are no places that need to grow new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this is the right solution.

2019-04-01Unified logging system for command-line programsPeter Eisentraut
This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs. Features: - Program name is automatically prefixed. - Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common source of inconsistencies and omissions. - Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes. - I converted error message strings to use %m where possible. - As a result of the above several points, more translatable message strings can be shared between different components and between frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace differences. - There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or verbose modes. - Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at some level is disabled. - Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be customized by setting PG_COLORS. - Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to pass "progname" around everywhere. - Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This is now done centrally. Soft goals: - Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting in the source code. - Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example, in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code whether a message was meant as an error or just an info. - Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging frameworks such as log4j and Python logging. This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that. Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit, and I adapted those. I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now changed to stderr.

2019-01-29Use catalog query to discover tables to process in vacuumdbMichael Paquier
vacuumdb would use a catalog query only when the command caller does not define a list of tables. Switching to a catalog table represents two advantages: - Relation existence check can happen before running any VACUUM or ANALYZE query. Before this change, if multiple relations are defined using --table, the utility would fail only after processing the firstly-defined ones, which may be a long some depending on the size of the relation. This adds checks for the relation names, and does nothing, at least yet, for the attribute names. - More filtering options can become available for the utility user. These options, which may be introduced later on, are based on the relation size or the relation age, and need to be made available even if the user does not list any specific table with --table.

2018-08-17Ensure schema qualification in pg_restore DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER commands.Tom Lane
Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path. In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server- version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.) In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify its output regardless of server version. Per bug #15338 from Oleg somebody. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/153452458706.1316.5328079417086507743@wrigleys.postgresql.org
2018-02-26Empty search_path in Autovacuum and non-psql/pgbench clients.Noah Misch
This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today, a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE privilege on schema "public". This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching server logs for these errors. The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still performs a checkpoint. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2016-08-30Simplify correct use of simple_prompt().Tom Lane
The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string. That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free() the string later, which required extra logic in most cases. Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller. Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small, which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free. A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't requested the password yet". Maintaining the same behavior requires adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the complexity we save by removing free()s. Nonetheless, this nets out at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks everywhere they were needed. In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path. This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching, because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway. This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the other way.

2015-12-23Improve handling of password reuse in src/bin/scripts programs.Tom Lane
This reverts most of commit 83dec5a71 in favor of having connectDatabase() store the possibly-reusable password in a static variable, similar to the coding we've had for a long time in pg_dump's version of that function. To avoid possible problems with unwanted password reuse, make callers specify whether it's reasonable to attempt to re-use the password. This is a wash for cases where re-use isn't needed, but it is far simpler for callers that do want that. Functionally there should be no difference. Even though we're past RC1, it seems like a good idea to back-patch this into 9.5, like the prior commit. Otherwise, if there are any third-party users of connectDatabase(), they'll have to deal with an API change in 9.5 and then another one in 9.6. Michael Paquier

2013-02-12Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to itAlvaro Herrera
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better to keep them separate. The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc and friends, which many frontend programs were already using. At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the previous one. This lets us clean up some places that were already with localized hacks. Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.

2012-10-02Work around unportable behavior of malloc(0) and realloc(NULL, 0).Tom Lane
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from Matthew Carrington. Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases, even though some of these functions were in place before that.
