2025-03-26Use PG_MODULE_MAGIC_EXT in our installable shared libraries.Tom Lane
It seems potentially useful to label our shared libraries with version information, now that a facility exists for retrieving that. This patch labels them with the PG_VERSION string. There was some discussion about using semantic versioning conventions, but that doesn't seem terribly helpful for modules with no SQL-level presence; and for those that do have SQL objects, we typically expect them to support multiple revisions of the SQL definitions, so it'd still not be very helpful. I did not label any of src/test/modules/. It seems unnecessary since we don't install those, and besides there ought to be someplace that still provides test coverage for the original PG_MODULE_MAGIC macro.

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.

2024-09-09Consistently use PageGetExactFreeSpace() in pgstattuple.Tom Lane
Previously this code used PageGetHeapFreeSpace on heap pages, and usually used PageGetFreeSpace on index pages (though for some reason GetHashPageStats used PageGetExactFreeSpace instead). The difference is that those functions subtract off the size of a line pointer, and PageGetHeapFreeSpace has some additional rules about returning zero if adding another line pointer would require exceeding MaxHeapTuplesPerPage. Those things make sense when testing to see if a new tuple can be put on the page, but they seem pretty strange for pure statistics collection. Additionally, statapprox_heap had a special rule about counting a "new" page as being fully available space. This also seems strange, because it's not actually usable until VACUUM or some such process initializes the page. Moreover, it's inconsistent with what pgstat_heap does, which is to count such a page as having zero free space. So make it work like pgstat_heap, which as of this patch unconditionally calls PageGetExactFreeSpace. This is more of a definitional change than a bug fix, so no back-patch. The module's documentation doesn't define exactly what "free space" means either, so we left that as-is. Frédéric Yhuel, reviewed by Rafia Sabih and Andreas Karlsson.

This makes the code more consistent with SpGiST, GiST and GIN, that already use this style, and the idea is to make easier the introduction of more sanity checks for each of these AM-specific macros. BRIN uses a different set of macros to get a page's type and flags, so it has no need for something similar.

2021-07-08Improve error messages about mismatching relkindPeter Eisentraut
Most error messages about a relkind that was not supported or appropriate for the command was of the pattern "relation \"%s\" is not a table, foreign table, or materialized view" This style can become verbose and tedious to maintain. Moreover, it's not very helpful: If I'm trying to create a comment on a TOAST table, which is not supported, then the information that I could have created a comment on a materialized view is pointless. Instead, write the primary error message shorter and saying more directly that what was attempted is not possible. Then, in the detail message, explain that the operation is not supported for the relkind the object was. To simplify that, add a new function errdetail_relkind_not_supported() that does this. In passing, make use of RELKIND_HAS_STORAGE() where appropriate, instead of listing out the relkinds individually.

2019-04-01Only allow heap in a number of contrib modules.Andres Freund

2019-03-11tableam: Add and use scan APIs.Andres Freund
Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several new abstractions are needed. Specifically: 1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from HeapScanDesc. The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been replaced with a table_ version. There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's table_scan_getnextslot(). But note that heap_getnext() lives on, it's still used widely to access catalog tables. This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan, scan_getnextslot callbacks. 2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize} callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs. As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented, block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate, intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc. 3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap). The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin, reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to retrieve an indexed tuple. Note that index_fetch_tuple implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if appropriate. Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext calls and working directly with HeapTuples). Index scans now store the result of a search in IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner. To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further callbacks have been introduced: a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign tables, etc. While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit also would have been needed to be adapted for table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile. b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a slot (which in heap's case internally has that information). Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed: I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with slots. The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

2019-01-22Move remaining code from tqual.[ch] to heapam.h / heapam_visibility.c.Andres Freund
Given these routines are heap specific, and that there will be more generic visibility support in via table AM, it makes sense to move the prototypes to heapam.h (routines like HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum will not be exposed in a generic fashion, because they are too storage specific). Similarly, the code in tqual.c is specific to heap, so moving it into access/heap/ makes sense. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180703070645.wchpu5muyto5n647@alap3.anarazel.de
2019-01-15Don't include heapam.h from others headers.Andres Freund
heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

2018-03-15Fix more format truncation issuesPeter Eisentraut
Fix the warnings created by the compiler warning options -Wformat-overflow=2 -Wformat-truncation=2, supported since GCC 7. This is a more aggressive variant of the fixes in 6275f5d28a1577563f53f2171689d4f890a46881, which GCC 7 warned about by default. The issues are all harmless, but some dubious coding patterns are cleaned up. One issue that is of external interest is that BGW_MAXLEN is increased from 64 to 96. Apparently, the old value would cause the bgw_name of logical replication workers to be truncated in some circumstances. But this doesn't actually add those warning options. It appears that the warnings depend a bit on compilation and optimization options, so it would be annoying to have to keep up with that. This is more of a once-in-a-while cleanup.

2017-06-21Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane
The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

2017-04-14Clean up manipulations of hash indexes' hasho_flag field.Tom Lane
Standardize on testing a hash index page's type by doing (opaque->hasho_flag & LH_PAGE_TYPE) == LH_xxx_PAGE Various places were taking shortcuts like opaque->hasho_flag & LH_BUCKET_PAGE which while not actually wrong, is still bad practice because it encourages use of opaque->hasho_flag & LH_UNUSED_PAGE which *is* wrong (LH_UNUSED_PAGE == 0, so the above is constant false). hash_xlog.c's hash_mask() contained such an incorrect test. This also ensures that we mask out the additional flag bits that hasho_flag has accreted since 9.6. pgstattuple's pgstat_hash_page(), for one, was failing to do that and was thus actively broken. Also fix assorted comments that hadn't been updated to reflect the extended usage of hasho_flag, and fix some macros that were testing just "(hasho_flag & bit)" to use the less dangerous, project-approved form "((hasho_flag & bit) != 0)". Coverity found the bug in hash_mask(); I noted the one in pgstat_hash_page() through code reading.

This makes almost all core code follow the policy introduced in the previous commit. Specific decisions: - Text search support functions with char* and length arguments, such as prsstart and lexize, may receive unaligned strings. I doubt maintainers of non-core text search code will notice. - Use plain VARDATA() on values detoasted or synthesized earlier in the same function. Use VARDATA_ANY() on varlenas sourced outside the function, even if they happen to always have four-byte headers. As an exception, retain the universal practice of using VARDATA() on return values of SendFunctionCall(). - Retain PG_GETARG_BYTEA_P() in pageinspect. (Page images are too large for a one-byte header, so this misses no optimization.) Sites that do not call get_page_from_raw() typically need the four-byte alignment. - For now, do not change btree_gist. Its use of four-byte headers in memory is partly entangled with storage of 4-byte headers inside GBT_VARKEY, on disk. - For now, do not change gtrgm_consistent() or gtrgm_distance(). They incorporate the varlena header into a cache, and there are multiple credible implementation strategies to consider.

2016-10-28pgstattuple: Don't take heavyweight locks when examining a hash index.Robert Haas
It's currently necessary to take a heavyweight lock when scanning a hash bucket, but pgstattuple only examines individual pages, so it doesn't need to do this. If, for some hypothetical reason, it did need to do any heavyweight locking here, this logic would probably still be incorrect, because most of the locks that it is taking are meaningless. Only a heavyweight lock on a primary bucket page has any meaning, but this takes heavyweight locks on all pages regardless of function - and in particular overflow pages, where you might imagine that we'd want to lock the primary bucket page if we needed to lock anything at all. This is arguably a bug that has existed since this code was added in commit dab42382f483c3070bdce14a4d93c5d0cf61e82b, but I'm not going to bother back-patching it because in most cases the only consequence is that running pgstattuple() on a hash index is a little slower than it otherwise might be, which is no big deal. Extracted from a vastly larger patch by Amit Kapila which heavyweight locking for hash indexes entirely; analysis of why this can be done independently of the rest by me.
2016-09-30Remove superuser checks in pgstattupleStephen Frost
Now that we track initial privileges on extension objects and changes to those permissions, we can drop the superuser() checks from the various functions which are part of the pgstattuple extension and rely on the GRANT system to control access to those functions. Since a pg_upgrade will preserve the version of the extension which existed prior to the upgrade, we can't simply modify the existing functions but instead need to create new functions which remove the checks and update the SQL-level functions to use the new functions (and to REVOKE EXECUTE rights on those functions from PUBLIC). Thanks to Tom and Andres for adding support for extensions to follow update paths (see: 40b449a), allowing this patch to be much smaller since no new base version script needed to be included.

The reverted changes were intended to force a choice of whether any newly-added BufferGetPage() calls needed to be accompanied by a test of the snapshot age, to support the "snapshot too old" feature. Such an accompanying test is needed in about 7% of the cases, where the page is being used as part of a scan rather than positioning for other purposes (such as DML or vacuuming). The additional effort required for back-patching, and the doubt whether the intended benefit would really be there, have indicated it is best just to rely on developers to do the right thing based on comments and existing usage, as we do with many other conventions.

2016-01-18Restructure index access method API to hide most of it at the C level.Tom Lane
This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures. For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access methods in installable extensions. A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead. (Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.) We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but this patch doesn't do that. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, and rather heavily editorialized on by me.

2014-04-18Create function prototype as part of PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macroPeter Eisentraut
Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files, but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant. Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of compiler warnings in extension modules. We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that functions have the right prototype. Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.

A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to populate the table, references in queries refer to the materialized data. This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining what is "fresh" data will be developed.

Extracted from a larger patch by Jaime Casanova, reviewed by Noah Misch. I think this error message could use some more extensive revision, but this at least makes the handling of spgist consistent with what we do for other types of indexes that this code doesn't know how to handle.
2011-01-02Basic foreign table support.Robert Haas
Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables cannot yet be queried. Support for foreign table scans will need to be added in a future patch. However, this patch creates the necessary system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

2009-03-31Fix contrib/pgstattuple and contrib/pageinspect to prevent attempts to readTom Lane
temporary tables of other sessions; that is unsafe because of the way our buffer management works. Per report from Stuart Bishop. This is redundant with the bufmgr.c checks in HEAD, but not at all redundant in the back branches.
2008-06-19Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera
corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.
2008-05-16Suppress compiler warning induced by recent header file refactoring.Tom Lane
2008-05-12Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.
