I could see forcing plan invalidation when permissions are updated, sure, but that doesn't mean you can stop doing them altogether anywhere. Where would you move the permissions checking to? I apologise, when I said removing the check altogether, I meant removing from the executor path. The Linux kernel has a facility that notify userspace applications when the security policy is changed. This message is delivered using netlink socket from the kernel. Once we received it, then SE-PG's access control decision cache will be invalidated. Even if it was invalidated in mid-query, please note that the older policy was valid when we make access control decision. If and when we have cached plans being already permission checked, I'd like the core PG to ask external securities whether it is still valid from the perspective of external security policy. If already invalid, we can check permissions again on the cached plan.

I've changed that to using chmod(), that should be available everywhere and

If it doesn't work, we should explain it in docs.
Indeed it seems that chmod() doesn't actually do anything useful on Windows.
So I've added a documentation note about it and put an #ifndef WIN32 around
the chmod() call.
It might look a duplication of codes, but I think this form is better
because we can reuse the existing translation catalogs.

[HACKERS] CommitFest 2010-07 Plans and Call for Reviewers
Folks, The PostgreSQL 9.1 Development Plan: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.1_Development_Plan calls for a CommitFest to run from the 15th of July until the 15th of August. I've offered to manage the CF process this time around. (Selena, are you up for continuing to work on this through the CF, too?) I was reluctant to push very hard on reviewers during the ReviewFest leading up to the CF, for fear of impacting the release, but I've taken Robert's words from this post to heart: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-rrreviewers/2010-07/msg2.php In particular: In terms of being aggressive about pursuing this, I think it's important that between July 15th and August 14th we try to give everyone who has submitted a patch by July 14th some feedback on their work, which means we need more people reviewing than have so far. I don't think the release will be out before the CF is over, but I'm hoping that we can get enough people involved to walk and chew gum at the same time. As Robert point out, we need more reviewers. Before signing up, please review these pages, to get an idea what's involved: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Reviewing_a_Patch http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/RRReviewers On the lighter side: http://wiki.postgresql.org/images/5/58/11_eggyknap-patch-review.pdf Please send me an email (without copying the list) if you are available to review; feel free to include any information that might be helpful in assigning you an appropriate patch. To summarize where we are now: 54 patches are listed in the CF web page. Of those, 4 have already been committed, 3 have been returned with feedback, and 1 has been rejected -- leaving 46 patches active. Of these 8 are ready for committer and 6 are waiting on author. That leaves 32 which currently need review, of which 22 don't yet have anyone assigned (or volunteered) to do the review. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

[HACKERS] Status report on writeable CTEs
Hi, I've been working on writeable CTEs during the last couple of months, but right now it looks like I'm going to miss the first commit fest for 9.1. I was trying to make it work by expanding all wCTEs to their own Queries during the rewrite stage (a very crude patch trying to do that for regular CTEs attached), but I don't think that it's a good way of approaching the problem. Consider: WITH t AS (SELECT 1), t2 AS (SELECT * FROM t2) VALUES (true); The first big problem I hit is was that when the query for t2 is planned separately, it doesn't have the CTE information. But even if it had that information (we could easily copy it during the rewrite stage), all RTEs referencing CTEs that were expanded would have the wrong levelsup (this is where the patch fails at regression tests). One could probably come up with ways of fixing even that, but I don't think that's the right direction to be heading. So what I'm now thinking of is making the planner plan that as a single Query, and make the planner expand it into multiple PlannedStmts if necessary. This would break the existing planner hooks, but I don't think that's a huge problem. Does anyone see any obvious flaws in this? Any feedback is welcome. I'd also be happy to get some help on this project.

Re: [HACKERS] 64-bit pgbench V2
Tom Lane wrote:
Please choose a way that doesn't introduce new portability assumptions.
The backend gets along fine without strtoll, and I don't see why pgbench
should have to require it.
Funny you should mention this...it turns out there is some code already
there, I just didn't notice it before because it's only the unsigned
64-bit strtoul used, not the signed one I was looking for, and it's only
called in one place I didn't previously check.
src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/data.c does this:
*((unsigned long long int *) (var + offset * act_tuple)) =
strtoull(pval, scan_length, 10);
The appropriate autoconf magic was in the code all along for both
versions, so my bad not noticing it until now. It even transparently
remaps the BSD-ism of calling it strtoq.
I suspect that this alone isn't sufficient to make the code I'm trying
to wedge into pgbench to always work on the platforms I consider must
haves, because of the weird names like _strtoi64 that Windows uses:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h80404d3(v=VS.80).aspx In fact,
I wouldn't be surprised to discover the ECPG code above doesn't do the
right thing if compiled with a 64-bit MSVC version. Don't expect that's
a popular combination to explicitly test in a way that hits the code
path where this line is at.
The untested (I need to setup for building Windows to really confirm
this works) next patch attempt I've attached does what I think is the
right general sort of thing here. It extends the autoconf remapping
that was already being done to include the second variation on how the
function needed can be named in a MSVC build. This might improve the
ECPG compatibility issue I theorize could be there on that platform.
Given the autoconf stuff and use of the unsigned version was already a
dependency, I'd rather improve that code (so it's more obvious when it
is broken) than do the refactoring work suggested to re-use the server's
internal 64-bit parsing method instead. I could split this into two
patches instead--add 64-bit strtoull/strtoll support for MSVC on the
presumption it's actually broken now (possibly wrong on my part) and
make pgbench use 64-bit values--but it's not so complicated as one.
I expect there is almost zero overlap between needs pgbench setshell to
return 32 bit return values and not on a platform with a working
64-bit strtoull variation. What I did to hedge against that was add a
little check to pgbench that lets you confirm whether setshell lines are
limited to 32 bits or not, depending on whether the appropriate function
was found. It tries to fall back to the existing strtol in that case,
and I've put a note when that happens (and matching documentation to
look for it) into the debug output of the program.
I'll continue with testing work here, but what's attached is now the
first form I think this could potentially be committed in once it's
known to be free of obvious bugs (testing at this database scale takes
forever). I can revisit not using the library function instead if Tom
or someone else really opposes this new approach. Given most of the
autoconf bits are already there and the limited number of platforms
where this is a problem, I think there's little gain for doing that work
though.
Style/functional suggestions appreciated.

True - but we don't want to unduly discourage potential contributors or make them afraid of posting, either. It is for the community to decide whether the effort to clean up a patch is worthwhile, and to provide guidance on what must change. Individual contributors shouldn't seek to take that process off-list, at least IMHO. The main problem with this patch is not that it was submitted as a RAR of multiple diffs against 8.4.3 instead of a single diff against HEAD: it's that we've apparently reached GSoC midterms without making progress beyond what Peter hacked together whilst sitting in an airport. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

[HACKERS] explain.c: why trace PlanState and Plan trees separately?
Currently, the recursion in ExplainNode() goes to some lengths to chase down the PlanState and Plan trees independently. This is a bit silly: we could just chase the PlanState tree, and use each PlanState's plan link when we needed to get to the matching Plan node. I think this is a holdover from long ago when the code worked only with Plan trees --- the PlanState stuff was bolted on rather than replacing that logic entirely. But there is no capacity for EXPLAINing a Plan tree without having constructed a PlanState tree, and I don't foresee that we'd add one (for one reason, EXPLAIN depends on ExecutorStart to perform permissions checking for the referenced tables). Any objections to getting rid of the separate Plan argument? The reason I'm on about this at the moment is that I think I see how to get ruleutils to print PARAM_EXEC Params as the referenced expression rather than $N ... but it depends on having the PlanState tree at hand. So fixing that will destroy any last shred of credibility there might be for EXPLAINing a Plan tree without PlanState. In fact I'm thinking I need to change deparse_context_for_plan() to take a PlanState not a Plan. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Assuming that we manage to keep to an annual release schedule (no sure thing, since we've never done it yet) what that would mean is that the students are looking for feedback while most of the key developers are in heads-down, let's-get-this-release-to-beta mode.

[HACKERS] dblink regression failure in HEAD
I found regression test for dblink in HEAD was failed on my machine.
One buildfarm machine also reported the same failure.
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=pangolindt=2010-07-12%2013:37:06
It seems to come from the recent fix for dropped column support,
but I'm not sure why other machines can pass the test.
