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.

2024-12-17Detect version mismatch in brin_page_itemsTomas Vondra
Commit dae761a87ed modified brin_page_items() to return the new "empty" flag for each BRIN range. But the new output parameter was added in the middle, which may cause crashes when using the new binary with old function definition. The ideal solution would be to introduce API versioning similar to what pg_stat_statements does, but it's too late for that as PG17 was already released (so we can't introduce a new extension version). We could do something similar in brin_page_items() by checking the number of output columns (and ignoring the new flag), but it doesn't seem very nice. Instead, simply error out and suggest updating the extension to the latest version. pageinspect is a superuser-only extension, and there's not much reason to run an older version. Moreover, there's a precedent for this approach in 691e8b2e18. Reported by Ľuboslav Špilák, investigation and patch by me. Backpatch to 17, same as dae761a87ed.

2024-09-13Fix contrib/pageinspect's test for sequences.Nathan Bossart
I managed to break this test in two different ways in commit 05036a3155. First, the output of the new call to tuple_data_split() on the test sequence is dependent on endianness. This is fixed by setting a special start value for the test sequence that produces the same output regardless of the endianness of the machine. Second, on versions older than v15, the new test case fails under "force_parallel_mode = regress" with the following error: ERROR: cannot access temporary tables during a parallel operation This is because pageinspect's disk-accessing functions are incorrectly marked PARALLEL SAFE on versions older than v15 (see commit aeaaf520f4 for details). This one is fixed by changing the test sequence to be permanent. The only reason it was previously marked temporary was to avoid needing a DROP SEQUENCE command at the end of the test. Unlike some other tests in this file, the use of a permanent sequence here shouldn't result in any test instability like what was fixed by commit e2933a6e11.

2024-09-12Reintroduce support for sequences in pgstattuple and pageinspect.Nathan Bossart
Commit 4b82664156 restricted a number of functions provided by contrib modules to only relations that use the "heap" table access method. Sequences always use this table access method, but they do not advertise as such in the pg_class system catalog, so the aforementioned commit also (presumably unintentionally) removed support for sequences from some of these functions. This commit reintroduces said support for sequences to these functions and adds a couple of relevant tests.

As explained in 4d916dd876, the test instability is caused by delayed cleanup of deleted rows. This commit removes the DELETE, stabilizing the test without accidentally disabling parallel builds. The intent of the delete however was to produce empty ranges, and test that the parallel index build populates those correctly.

The test for parallel create of BRIN indexes added by commit 8225c2fd40 happens to be unstable - a background transaction (e.g. auto-analyze) may hold back global xmin for the initial VACUUM / CREATE INDEX. If the cleanup happens before the next CREATE INDEX, the indexes will not be exactly the same. This is the same issue as e2933a6e11, so fix it the same way by making the table TEMPORARY, which uses an up-to-date cutoff xmin that is not held back by other processes.

Adds a regression test for parallel CREATE INDEX for BRIN indexes, to improve coverage for BRIN code, particularly code to allow parallel index builds introduced by b43757171470. The test is added to pageinspect, as that allows comparing the index to one built without parallelism. Another option would be to just build the index with parallelism and then check it produces correct results. But checking the index is exactly as if built without parallelism makes these query checks unnecessary. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1df00a66-db5a-4e66-809a-99b386a06d86%40enterprisedb.com
2024-02-23Introduce a new smgr bulk loading facility.Heikki Linnakangas
The new facility makes it easier to optimize bulk loading, as the logic for buffering, WAL-logging, and syncing the relation only needs to be implemented once. It's also less error-prone: We have had a number of bugs in how a relation is fsync'd - or not - at the end of a bulk loading operation. By centralizing that logic to one place, we only need to write it correctly once. The new facility is faster for small relations: Instead of of calling smgrimmedsync(), we register the fsync to happen at next checkpoint, which avoids the fsync latency. That can make a big difference if you are e.g. restoring a schema-only dump with lots of relations. It is also slightly more efficient with large relations, as the WAL logging is performed multiple pages at a time. That avoids some WAL header overhead. The sorted GiST index build did that already, this moves the buffering to the new facility. The changes to pageinspect GiST test needs an explanation: Before this patch, the sorted GiST index build set the LSN on every page to the special GistBuildLSN value, not the LSN of the WAL record, even though they were WAL-logged. There was no particular need for it, it just happened naturally when we wrote out the pages before WAL-logging them. Now we WAL-log the pages first, like in B-tree build, so the pages are stamped with the record's real LSN. When the build is not WAL-logged, we still use GistBuildLSN. To make the test output predictable, use an unlogged index. Reviewed-by: Andres Freund Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/30e8f366-58b3-b239-c521-422122dd5150%40iki.fi

2023-12-08Add empty BRIN ranges during CREATE INDEXTomas Vondra
When building BRIN indexes, the brinbuildCallback only advances to the next page range when seeing a tuple that doesn't belong to the current one. This means that the index may end up missing ranges at the end of the table, if those pages do not contain any indexable tuples. We tend not to have completely empty pages at the end of a relation, but this also applies to partial indexes, where the tuples may simply not match the index predicate. This results in inefficient scans using the affected BRIN index - without the summaries, the page ranges have to be read and processed, which consumes I/O and possibly also CPU time. The existing code already added empty ranges for earlier parts of the table, this commit makes sure we add them for the ranges at the end of the table too.

2023-05-19pageinspect: Fix gist_page_items() with included columnsMichael Paquier
Non-leaf pages of GiST indexes contain key attributes, leaf pages contain both key and non-key attributes, and gist_page_items() ignored the handling of non-key attributes. This caused a few problems when using gist_page_items() on a GiST index with INCLUDE: - On a non-leaf page, the function would crash. - On a leaf page, the function would work, but miss to display all the values for included attributes. This commit fixes gist_page_items() to handle such cases in a more appropriate way, and now displays the values of key and non-key attributes for each item separately in a style consistent with what ruleutils.c would generate for the attribute list, depending on the page type dealt with. In a way similar to how a record is displayed, values would be double-quoted for key or non-key attributes if required. ruleutils.c did not provide a routine able to control if non-key attributes should be displayed, so an extended() routine for index definitions is added to work around the leaf and non-leaf page differences. While on it, this commit fixes a third problem related to the amount of data reported for key attributes. The code originally relied on BuildIndexValueDescription() (used for error reports on constraints) that would not print all the data stored in the index but the index opclass's input type, so this limited the amount of information available. This switch makes gist_page_items() much cheaper as there is no need to run ACL checks for each item printed, which is not an issue anyway as superuser rights are required to execute the functions of pageinspect. Opclasses whose data cannot be displayed can rely on gist_page_items_bytea(). The documentation of this function was slightly incorrect for the output results generated on HEAD and v15, so adjust it on these branches.

2023-03-02pageinspect: Fix crash with gist_page_items()Michael Paquier
Attempting to use this function with a raw page not coming from a GiST index would cause a crash, as it was missing the same sanity checks as gist_page_items_bytea(). This slightly refactors the code so as all the basic validation checks for GiST pages are done in a single routine, in the same fashion as the pageinspect functions for hash and BRIN. This fixes an issue similar to 076f4d9. A test is added to stress for this case. While on it, I have added a similar test for brin_page_items() with a combination make of a valid GiST index and a raw btree page. This one was already protected, but it was not tested.

2022-11-21Prevent instability in contrib/pageinspect's regression test.Tom Lane
pageinspect has occasionally failed on slow buildfarm members, with symptoms indicating that the expected effects of VACUUM FREEZE didn't happen. This is presumably because a background transaction such as auto-analyze was holding back global xmin. We can work around that by using a temp table in the test. Since commit a7212be8b, that will use an up-to-date cutoff xmin regardless of other processes. And pageinspect itself shouldn't really care whether the table is temp. Back-patch to v14. There would be no point in older branches without back-patching a7212be8b, which seems like more trouble than the problem is worth. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2892135.1668976646@sss.pgh.pa.us
2022-04-14pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pagesMichael Paquier
Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup). However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes when going through the page internals. This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way, returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths impacted.

2022-03-27pageinspect: Add more sanity checks to prevent out-of-bound readsMichael Paquier
A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area, leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated page). The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct, but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation the page is attached to would run into problems. This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN, btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a special area size that fits with each access method, which is done though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer(). The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page, so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to superusers. The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases where using a raw page is useful. Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what this commit adds.

2022-03-16pageinspect: Fix handling of page sizes and AM typesMichael Paquier
This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page data as input argument: - The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact match on BLCKSZ. After considering a few options here, I have settled down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw(). Most of the SQL functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code path begins to access such values. This also reduces the number of strings that need to be translated. - The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to crashes. All the other functions in need of a Relation already did that. - Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport() for failures that can be triggered by the user. Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open relations.

2021-01-20Disable vacuum page skipping in selected test cases.Tom Lane
By default VACUUM will skip pages that it can't immediately get exclusive access to, which means that even activities as harmless and unpredictable as checkpoint buffer writes might prevent a page from being processed. Ordinarily this is no big deal, but we have a small number of test cases that examine the results of VACUUM's processing and therefore will fail if the page of interest is skipped. This seems to be the explanation for some rare buildfarm failures. To fix, add the DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING option to the VACUUM commands in tests where this could be an issue.

2021-01-19pageinspect: Change block number arguments to bigintPeter Eisentraut
Block numbers are 32-bit unsigned integers. Therefore, the smallest SQL integer type that they can fit in is bigint. However, in the pageinspect module, most input and output parameters dealing with block numbers were declared as int. The behavior with block numbers larger than a signed 32-bit integer was therefore dubious. Change these arguments to type bigint and add some more explicit error checking on the block range. (Other contrib modules appear to do this correctly already.) Since we are changing argument types of existing functions, in order to not misbehave if the binary is updated before the extension is updated, we need to create new C symbols for the entry points, similar to how it's done in other extensions as well.

This is wasteful, so now we refrain from creating the FSM for heaps with 4 pages or fewer. If the last known target block has insufficient space, we still try to insert into some other page before giving up and extending the relation, since doing otherwise leads to table bloat. Testing showed that trying every page penalized performance slightly, so we compromise and try every other page. This way, we visit at most two pages. Any pages with wasted free space become visible at next relation extension, so we still control table bloat. As a bonus, directly attempting one or two pages can even be faster than consulting the FSM would have been. Once the FSM is created for a heap we don't remove it even if somebody deletes all the rows from the corresponding relation. We don't think it is a useful optimization as it is quite likely that relation will again grow to the same size.

2018-05-09pgstatindex, pageinspect: handle partitioned indexesAlvaro Herrera
Commit 8b08f7d4820f failed to update these modules to at least give non-broken error messages for partitioned indexes. Add appropriate error support to them. Peter G. was complaining about a problem of unfriendly error messages; while we haven't fixed that yet, subsequent discussion let to discovery of these unhandled cases.

2018-01-04Fix incorrect computations of length of null bitmap in pageinspect.Tom Lane
Instead of using our standard macro for this calculation, this code did it itself ... and got it wrong, leading to incorrect display of the null bitmap in some cases. Noted and fixed by Maksim Milyutin. In passing, remove a uselessly duplicative error check. Errors were introduced in commit d6061f83a; back-patch to 9.6 where that came in.

2017-03-09Add relkind checks to certain contrib modulesStephen Frost
The contrib extensions pageinspect, pg_visibility and pgstattuple only work against regular relations which have storage. They don't work against foreign tables, partitioned (parent) tables, views, et al. Add checks to the user-callable functions to return a useful error message to the user if they mistakenly pass an invalid relation to a function which doesn't accept that kind of relation. In passing, improve some of the existing checks to use ereport() instead of elog(), add a function to consolidate common checks where appropriate, and add some regression tests.

2016-11-04Fix gin_leafpage_items().Tom Lane
On closer inspection, commit 84ad68d64 broke gin_leafpage_items(), because the aligned copy of the page got palloc'd in a short-lived context whereas it needs to be in the SRF's multi_call_memory_ctx. This was not exposed by the regression test, because the regression test doesn't actually exercise the function in a meaningful way. Fix the code bug, and extend the test in what I hope is a portable fashion.
