17 years agoChanges pg_trigger and extend pg_rewrite in order to allow triggers and
Jan Wieck [Mon, 19 Mar 2007 23:38:32 +0000 (23:38 +0000)]
Changes pg_trigger and extend pg_rewrite in order to allow triggers and
rules to be defined with different, per session controllable, behaviors
for replication purposes.

This will allow replication systems like Slony-I and, as has been stated
on pgsql-hackers, other products to control the firing mechanism of
triggers and rewrite rules without modifying the system catalog directly.

The firing mechanisms are controlled by a new superuser-only GUC
variable, session_replication_role, together with a change to
pg_trigger.tgenabled and a new column pg_rewrite.ev_enabled. Both
columns are a single char data type now (tgenabled was a bool before).
The possible values in these attributes are:

     'O' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "origin"
           (default) or "local". This is the default behavior.

     'D' - Trigger/Rule is disabled and fires never

     'A' - Trigger/Rule fires always regardless of the setting of
           session_replication_role

     'R' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "replica"

The GUC variable can only be changed as long as the system does not have
any cached query plans. This will prevent changing the session role and
accidentally executing stored procedures or functions that have plans
cached that expand to the wrong query set due to differences in the rule
firing semantics.

The SQL syntax for changing a triggers/rules firing semantics is

     ALTER TABLE <tabname> <when> TRIGGER|RULE <name>;

     <when> ::= ENABLE | ENABLE ALWAYS | ENABLE REPLICA | DISABLE

psql's \d command as well as pg_dump are extended in a backward
compatible fashion.

Fix a longstanding bug in VACUUM FULL's handling of update chains.  The code
did not expect that a DEAD tuple could follow a RECENTLY_DEAD tuple in an
update chain, but because the OldestXmin rule for determining deadness is a
simplification of reality, it is possible for this situation to occur
(implying that the RECENTLY_DEAD tuple is in fact dead to all observers,
but this patch does not attempt to exploit that).  The code would follow a
chain forward all the way, but then stop before a DEAD tuple when backing
up, meaning that not all of the chain got moved.  This could lead to copying
the chain multiple times (resulting in duplicate copies of the live tuple at
its end), or leaving dangling index entries behind (which, aside from
generating warnings from later vacuums, creates a risk of wrong query
results or bogus duplicate-key errors once the heap slot the index entry
points to is repopulated).

The fix is to recheck HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum while following a chain
forward, and to stop if a DEAD tuple is reached.  Each contiguous group
of RECENTLY_DEAD tuples will therefore be copied as a separate chain.

behavior.
