Neil Conway [Wed, 23 Feb 2005 22:46:17 +0000 (22:46 +0000)]
This patch optimizes the md5_text() function (which is used to
implement the md5() SQL-level function). The old code did the
following:

1. de-toast the datum
2. convert it to a cstring via textout()
3. get the length of the cstring via strlen()

Since we are treating the datum context as a blob of binary data,
the latter two steps are unnecessary. Once the data has been
detoasted, we can just use it as-is, and derive its length from
the varlena metadata.

This patch improves some run-of-the-mill md5() computations by
just under 10% in my limited tests, and passes the regression tests.

I also noticed that md5_text() wasn't checking the return value
of md5_hash(); encountering OOM at precisely the right moment
could result in returning a random md5 hash. This patch corrects
that. A better fix would be to make md5_hash() only return on
success (and/or allocate via palloc()), but since it's used in
the frontend as well I don't see an easy way to do that.

19 years agoThis patch changes makes some significant changes to how compilation
Neil Conway [Tue, 22 Feb 2005 07:18:27 +0000 (07:18 +0000)]
This patch changes makes some significant changes to how compilation
and parsing work in PL/PgSQL:

- memory management is now done via palloc(). The compiled representation
  of each function now has its own memory context. Therefore, the storage
  consumed by a function can be reclaimed via MemoryContextDelete().

  During compilation, the CurrentMemoryContext is the function's memory
  context. This means that a palloc() is sufficient to allocate memory
  that will have the same lifetime as the function itself. As a result,
  code invoked during compilation should be careful to pfree() temporary
  allocations to avoid leaking memory. Since a lot of the code in the
  backend is not careful about releasing palloc'ed memory, that means
  we should switch into a temporary memory context before invoking
  backend functions. A temporary context appropriate for such allocations
  is `compile_tmp_cxt'.

- The ability to use palloc() allows us to simply a lot of the code in
  the parser. Rather than representing lists of elements via ad hoc
  linked lists or arrays, we can use the List type. Rather than doing
  malloc followed by memset(0), we can just use palloc0().

- We now check that the user has supplied the right number of parameters
  to a RAISE statement. Supplying either too few or too many results in
  an error (at runtime).

- PL/PgSQL's parser needs to accept arbitrary SQL statements. Since we
  do not want to duplicate the SQL grammar in the PL/PgSQL grammar, this
  means we need to be quite lax in what the PL/PgSQL grammar considers
  a "SQL statement". This can lead to misleading behavior if there is a
  syntax error in the function definition, since we assume a malformed
  PL/PgSQL construct is a SQL statement. Furthermore, these errors were
  only detected at runtime (when we tried to execute the alleged "SQL
  statement" via SPI).

  To rectify this, the patch changes the parser to invoke the main SQL
  parser when it sees a string it believes to be a SQL expression. This
  means that synctically-invalid SQL will be rejected during the
  compilation of the PL/PgSQL function. This is only done when compiling
  for "validation" purposes (i.e. at CREATE FUNCTION time), so it should
  not impose a runtime overhead.

- Fixes for the various buffer overruns I've patched in stable branches
  in the past few weeks. I've rewritten code where I thought it was
  warranted (unlike the patches applied to older branches, which were
  minimally invasive).

- Various other minor changes and cleanups.

- Updates to the regression tests.

19 years agoUse SnapshotNow instead of SnapshotSelf for reading the catalogs
Tom Lane [Sun, 20 Feb 2005 22:02:19 +0000 (22:02 +0000)]
Use SnapshotNow instead of SnapshotSelf for reading the catalogs
during flat-file writing.  The only difference is that SnapshotSelf
would consider tuples of the 'current command' within the current
transaction as valid, where SnapshotNow wouldn't.  We can eliminate
the need for this with one extra CommandCounterIncrement call before
we start reading the catalogs.

Remove some no-longer-needed kluges for bootstrapping, in particular

19 years agoFlat file cleanup phase 2: make it work for pg_group. The flat group
Tom Lane [Sun, 20 Feb 2005 04:45:59 +0000 (04:45 +0000)]
Flat file cleanup phase 2: make it work for pg_group.  The flat group
file now identifies group members by usesysid not name; this avoids
needing to depend on SearchSysCache which we can't use during startup.
(The old representation was entirely broken anyway, since we did not
regenerate the file following RENAME USER.)  It's only a 95% solution
because if the group membership list is big enough to be toasted out
of line, we cannot read it during startup.  I think this will do for
the moment, until we have time to implement the planned pg_role
replacement for pg_group.

19 years agoAdd code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit
Tom Lane [Sun, 20 Feb 2005 02:22:07 +0000 (02:22 +0000)]
Add code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit
in GetNewTransactionId().  Since the limit value has to be computed
before we run any real transactions, this requires adding code to database
startup to scan pg_database and determine the oldest datfrozenxid.
This can conveniently be combined with the first stage of an attack on
the problem that the 'flat file' copies of pg_shadow and pg_group are
not properly updated during WAL recovery.  The code I've added to
startup resides in a new file src/backend/utils/init/flatfiles.c, and
it is responsible for rewriting the flat files as well as initializing
the XID wraparound limit value.  This will eventually allow us to get
rid of GetRawDatabaseInfo too, but we'll need an initdb so we can add
a trigger to pg_database.
