2025-03-13pg_noreturn to replace pg_attribute_noreturn()Peter Eisentraut
We want to support a "noreturn" decoration on more compilers besides just GCC-compatible ones, but for that we need to move the decoration in front of the function declaration instead of either behind it or wherever, which is the current style afforded by GCC-style attributes. Also rename the macro to "pg_noreturn" to be similar to the C11 standard "noreturn". pg_noreturn is now supported on all compilers that support C11 (using _Noreturn), as well as GCC-compatible ones (using __attribute__, as before), as well as MSVC (using __declspec). (When PostgreSQL requires C11, the latter two variants can be dropped.) Now, all supported compilers effectively support pg_noreturn, so the extra code for !HAVE_PG_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN can be dropped. This also fixes a possible problem if third-party code includes stdnoreturn.h, because then the current definition of #define pg_attribute_noreturn() __attribute__((noreturn)) would cause an error. Note that the C standard does not support a noreturn attribute on function pointer types. So we have to drop these here. There are only two instances at this time, so it's not a big loss. In one case, we can make up for it by adding the pg_noreturn to a wrapper function and adding a pg_unreachable(), in the other case, the latter was already done before.

2025-01-15Change gist stratnum function to use CompareTypePeter Eisentraut
This changes commit 7406ab623fe in that the gist strategy number mapping support function is changed to use the CompareType enum as input, instead of the "well-known" RT*StrategyNumber strategy numbers. This is a bit cleaner, since you are not dealing with two sets of strategy numbers. Also, this will enable us to subsume this system into a more general system of using CompareType to define operator semantics across index methods.

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.

2023-03-25Fix CREATE INDEX progress reporting for multi-level partitioning.Tom Lane
The "partitions_total" and "partitions_done" fields were updated as though the current level of partitioning was the only one. In multi-level cases, not only could partitions_total change over the course of the command, but partitions_done could go backwards or exceed the currently-reported partitions_total. Fix by setting partitions_total to the total number of direct and indirect children once at command start, and then just incrementing partitions_done at appropriate points. Invent a new progress monitoring function "pgstat_progress_incr_param" to simplify doing the latter. We can avoid adding cost for the former when doing CREATE INDEX, because ProcessUtility already enumerates the children and it's pretty easy to pass the count down to DefineIndex. In principle the same could be done in ALTER TABLE, but that's structurally difficult; for now, just eat the cost of an extra find_all_inheritors scan in that case.

2022-01-16Add stxdinherit flag to pg_statistic_ext_dataTomas Vondra
Add pg_statistic_ext_data.stxdinherit flag, so that for each extended statistics definition we can store two versions of data - one for the relation alone, one for the whole inheritance tree. This is analogous to pg_statistic.stainherit, but we failed to include such flag in catalogs for extended statistics, and we had to work around it (see commits 859b3003de, 36c4bc6e72 and 20b9fa308e). This changes the relationship between the two catalogs storing extended statistics objects (pg_statistic_ext and pg_statistic_ext_data). Until now, there was a simple 1:1 mapping - for each definition there was one pg_statistic_ext_data row, and this row was inserted while creating the statistics (and then updated during ANALYZE). With the stxdinherit flag, we don't know how many rows there will be (child relations may be added after the statistics object is defined), so there may be up to two rows. We could make CREATE STATISTICS to always create both rows, but that seems wasteful - without partitioning we only need stxdinherit=false rows, and declaratively partitioned tables need only stxdinherit=true. So we no longer initialize pg_statistic_ext_data in CREATE STATISTICS, and instead make that a responsibility of ANALYZE. Which is what we do for regular statistics too. Patch by me, with extensive improvements and fixes by Justin Pryzby.

2021-07-15Improve reporting of "conflicting or redundant options" errors.Dean Rasheed
When reporting "conflicting or redundant options" errors, try to ensure that errposition() is used, to help the user identify the offending option. Formerly, errposition() was invoked in less than 60% of cases. This patch raises that to over 90%, but there remain a few places where the ParseState is not readily available. Using errdetail() might improve the error in such cases, but that is left as a task for the future. Additionally, since this error is thrown from over 100 places in the codebase, introduce a dedicated function to throw it, reducing code duplication.

2021-04-07SQL-standard function bodyPeter Eisentraut
This adds support for writing CREATE FUNCTION and CREATE PROCEDURE statements for language SQL with a function body that conforms to the SQL standard and is portable to other implementations. Instead of the PostgreSQL-specific AS $$ string literal $$ syntax, this allows writing out the SQL statements making up the body unquoted, either as a single statement: CREATE FUNCTION add(a integer, b integer) RETURNS integer LANGUAGE SQL RETURN a + b; or as a block CREATE PROCEDURE insert_data(a integer, b integer) LANGUAGE SQL BEGIN ATOMIC INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (a); INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (b); END; The function body is parsed at function definition time and stored as expression nodes in a new pg_proc column prosqlbody. So at run time, no further parsing is required. However, this form does not support polymorphic arguments, because there is no more parse analysis done at call time. Dependencies between the function and the objects it uses are fully tracked. A new RETURN statement is introduced. This can only be used inside function bodies. Internally, it is treated much like a SELECT statement. psql needs some new intelligence to keep track of function body boundaries so that it doesn't send off statements when it sees semicolons that are inside a function body.

2021-03-26Extended statistics on expressionsTomas Vondra
Allow defining extended statistics on expressions, not just just on simple column references. With this commit, expressions are supported by all existing extended statistics kinds, improving the same types of estimates. A simple example may look like this: CREATE TABLE t (a int); CREATE STATISTICS s ON mod(a,10), mod(a,20) FROM t; ANALYZE t; The collected statistics are useful e.g. to estimate queries with those expressions in WHERE or GROUP BY clauses: SELECT * FROM t WHERE mod(a,10) = 0 AND mod(a,20) = 0; SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY mod(a,10), mod(a,20); This introduces new internal statistics kind 'e' (expressions) which is built automatically when the statistics object definition includes any expressions. This represents single-expression statistics, as if there was an expression index (but without the index maintenance overhead). The statistics is stored in pg_statistics_ext_data as an array of composite types, which is possible thanks to 79f6a942bd. CREATE STATISTICS allows building statistics on a single expression, in which case in which case it's not possible to specify statistics kinds. A new system view pg_stats_ext_exprs can be used to display expression statistics, similarly to pg_stats and pg_stats_ext views. ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... TYPE now treats indexes the same way it treats indexes, i.e. it drops and recreates the statistics. This means all statistics are reset, and we no longer try to preserve at least the functional dependencies. This should not be a major issue in practice, as the functional dependencies actually rely on per-column statistics, which were always reset anyway.

2021-01-18Refactor option handling of CLUSTER, REINDEX and VACUUMMichael Paquier
This continues the work done in b5913f6. All the options of those commands are changed to use hex values rather than enums to reduce the risk of compatibility bugs when introducing new options. Each option set is moved into a new structure that can be extended with more non-boolean options (this was already the case of VACUUM). The code of REINDEX is restructured so as manual REINDEX commands go through a single routine from utility.c, like VACUUM, to ease the allocation handling of option parameters when a command needs to go through multiple transactions. This can be used as a base infrastructure for future patches related to those commands, including reindex filtering and tablespace support.

2020-09-08Add support for partitioned tables and indexes in REINDEXMichael Paquier
Until now, REINDEX was not able to work with partitioned tables and indexes, forcing users to reindex partitions one by one. This extends REINDEX INDEX and REINDEX TABLE so as they can accept a partitioned index and table in input, respectively, to reindex all the partitions assigned to them with physical storage (foreign tables, partitioned tables and indexes are then discarded). This shares some logic with schema and database REINDEX as each partition gets processed in its own transaction after building a list of relations to work on. This choice has the advantage to minimize the number of invalid indexes to one partition with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in the event a cancellation or failure in-flight, as the only indexes handled at once in a single REINDEX CONCURRENTLY loop are the ones from the partition being working on. Isolation tests are added to emulate some cases I bumped into while developing this feature, particularly with the concurrent drop of a leaf partition reindexed. However, this is rather limited as LOCK would cause REINDEX to block in the first transaction building the list of partitions. Per its multi-transaction nature, this new flavor cannot run in a transaction block, similarly to REINDEX SCHEMA, SYSTEM and DATABASE.

2020-03-05Remove the "opaque" pseudo-type and associated compatibility hacks.Tom Lane
A long time ago, it was necessary to declare datatype I/O functions, triggers, and language handler support functions in a very type-unsafe way involving a single pseudo-type "opaque". We got rid of those conventions in 7.3, but there was still support in various places to automatically convert such functions to the modern declaration style, to be able to transparently re-load dumps from pre-7.3 servers. It seems unnecessary to continue to support that anymore, so take out the hacks; whereupon the "opaque" pseudo-type itself is no longer needed and can be dropped. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files. Since we've had few complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0 servers (commit 64f3524e2), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.

2019-09-10Allow setting statistics target for extended statisticsTomas Vondra
When building statistics, we need to decide how many rows to sample and how accurate the resulting statistics should be. Until now, it was not possible to explicitly define statistics target for extended statistics objects, the value was always computed from the per-attribute targets with a fallback to the system-wide default statistics target. That's a bit inconvenient, as it ties together the statistics target set for per-column and extended statistics. In some cases it may be useful to require larger sample / higher accuracy for extended statics (or the other way around), but with this approach that's not possible. So this commit introduces a new command, allowing to specify statistics target for individual extended statistics objects, overriding the value derived from per-attribute targets (and the system default). ALTER STATISTICS stat_name SET STATISTICS target_value; When determining statistics target for an extended statistics object we first look at this explicitly set value. When this value is -1, we fall back to the old formula, looking at the per-attribute targets first and then the system default. This means the behavior is backwards compatible with older PostgreSQL releases.

Previously it was allowed to set default_table_access_method to an empty string. That makes sense for default_tablespace, where that was copied from, as it signals falling back to the database's default tablespace. As there is no equivalent for table AMs, forbid that. Also make sure to throw a usable error when creating a table using an index AM, by using get_am_type_oid() to implement get_table_am_oid() instead of a separate copy.

2018-09-04Fully enforce uniqueness of constraint names.Tom Lane
It's been true for a long time that we expect names of table and domain constraints to be unique among the constraints of that table or domain. However, the enforcement of that has been pretty haphazard, and it missed some corner cases such as creating a CHECK constraint and then an index constraint of the same name (as per recent report from André Hänsel). Also, due to the lack of an actual unique index enforcing this, duplicates could be created through race conditions. Moreover, the code that searches pg_constraint has been quite inconsistent about how to handle duplicate names if one did occur: some places checked and threw errors if there was more than one match, while others just processed the first match they came to. To fix, create a unique index on (conrelid, contypid, conname). Since either conrelid or contypid is zero, this will separately enforce uniqueness of constraint names among constraints of any one table and any one domain. (If we ever implement SQL assertions, and put them into this catalog, more thought might be needed. But it'd be at least as reasonable to put them into a new catalog; having overloaded this one catalog with two kinds of constraints was a mistake already IMO.) This index can replace the existing non-unique index on conrelid, though we need to keep the one on contypid for query performance reasons. Having done that, we can simplify the logic in various places that either coped with duplicates or neglected to, as well as potentially improve lookup performance when searching for a constraint by name. Also, as per our usual practice, install a preliminary check so that you get something more friendly than a unique-index violation report in the case complained of by André. And teach ChooseIndexName to avoid choosing autogenerated names that would draw such a failure. While it's not possible to make such a change in the back branches, it doesn't seem quite too late to put this into v11, so do so.

In other languages, the same convention as for return a record from a function is used. That does not require any code changes in the PL implementations.

2018-02-23Support parameters in CALLPeter Eisentraut
To support parameters in CALL, move the parse analysis of the procedure and arguments into the global transformation phase, so that the parser hooks can be applied. And then at execution time pass the parameters from ProcessUtility on to ExecuteCallStmt.
2018-02-19Allow UNIQUE indexes on partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera
If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each index individually is enough to have it enforced globally. Therefore we can implement unique indexes on partitions by simply removing a few restrictions (and adding others.)

2018-01-22Transaction control in PL proceduresPeter Eisentraut
In each of the supplied procedural languages (PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, PL/Python, PL/Tcl), add language-specific commit and rollback functions/commands to control transactions in procedures in that language. Add similar underlying functions to SPI. Some additional cleanup so that transaction commit or abort doesn't blow away data structures still used by the procedure call. Add execution context tracking to CALL and DO statements so that transaction control commands can only be issued in top-level procedure and block calls, not function calls or other procedure or block calls. - SPI Add a new function SPI_connect_ext() that is like SPI_connect() but allows passing option flags. The only option flag right now is SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC. A nonatomic SPI connection can execute transaction control commands, otherwise it's not allowed. This is meant to be passed down from CALL and DO statements which themselves know in which context they are called. A nonatomic SPI connection uses different memory management. A normal SPI connection allocates its memory in TopTransactionContext. For nonatomic connections we use PortalContext instead. As the comment in SPI_connect_ext() (previously SPI_connect()) indicates, one could potentially use PortalContext in all cases, but it seems safest to leave the existing uses alone, because this stuff is complicated enough already. SPI also gets new functions SPI_start_transaction(), SPI_commit(), and SPI_rollback(), which can be used by PLs to implement their transaction control logic. - portalmem.c Some adjustments were made in the code that cleans up portals at transaction abort. The portal code could already handle a command *committing* a transaction and continuing (e.g., VACUUM), but it was not quite prepared for a command *aborting* a transaction and continuing. In AtAbort_Portals(), remove the code that marks an active portal as failed. As the comment there already predicted, this doesn't work if the running command wants to keep running after transaction abort. And it's actually not necessary, because pquery.c is careful to run all portal code in a PG_TRY block and explicitly runs MarkPortalFailed() if there is an exception. So the code in AtAbort_Portals() is never used anyway. In AtAbort_Portals() and AtCleanup_Portals(), we need to be careful not to clean up active portals too much. This mirrors similar code in PreCommit_Portals(). - PL/Perl Gets new functions spi_commit() and spi_rollback() - PL/pgSQL Gets new commands COMMIT and ROLLBACK. Update the PL/SQL porting example in the documentation to reflect that transactions are now possible in procedures. - PL/Python Gets new functions plpy.commit and plpy.rollback. - PL/Tcl Gets new commands commit and rollback.

2018-01-19Local partitioned indexesAlvaro Herrera
When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions also. As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it, and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first. To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table> (which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without recursing) and ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION (which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior database state exactly.

2017-11-30SQL proceduresPeter Eisentraut
This adds a new object type "procedure" that is similar to a function but does not have a return type and is invoked by the new CALL statement instead of SELECT or similar. This implementation is aligned with the SQL standard and compatible with or similar to other SQL implementations. This commit adds new commands CALL, CREATE/ALTER/DROP PROCEDURE, as well as ALTER/DROP ROUTINE that can refer to either a function or a procedure (or an aggregate function, as an extension to SQL). There is also support for procedures in various utility commands such as COMMENT and GRANT, as well as support in pg_dump and psql. Support for defining procedures is available in all the languages supplied by the core distribution. While this commit is mainly syntax sugar around existing functionality, future features will rely on having procedures as a separate object type.

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.

2017-06-04Disallow CREATE INDEX if table is already in use in current session.Tom Lane
If we allow this, whatever outer command has the table open will not know about the new index and may fail to update it as needed, as shown in a report from Laurenz Albe. We already had such a prohibition in place for ALTER TABLE, but the CREATE INDEX syntax missed the check. Fixing it requires an API change for DefineIndex(), which conceivably would break third-party extensions if we were to back-patch it. Given how long this problem has existed without being noticed, fixing it in the back branches doesn't seem worth that risk.

2017-05-14Fix handling of extended statistics during ALTER COLUMN TYPE.Tom Lane
ALTER COLUMN TYPE on a column used by a statistics object fails since commit 928c4de30, because the relevant switch in ATExecAlterColumnType is unprepared for columns to have dependencies from OCLASS_STATISTIC_EXT objects. Although the existing types of extended statistics don't actually need us to do any work for a column type change, it seems completely indefensible that that assumption is hidden behind the failure of an unrelated module to contain any code for the case. Hence, create and call an API function in statscmds.c where the assumption can be explained, and where we could add code to deal with the problem when it inevitably becomes real. Also, the reason this wasn't handled before, neither for extended stats nor for the last half-dozen new OCLASS kinds :-(, is that the default: in that switch suppresses compiler warnings, allowing people to miss the need to consider it when adding an OCLASS. We don't really need a default because surely getObjectClass should only return valid values of the enum; so remove it, and add the missed OCLASS entries where they should be.
