This whole thread seems to be proposing more and more complicated solutions for what is really a non-problem given Yoshiyuki-san's point. It's trivial to construct SQL queries that will run for longer than the MTBF of your hardware --- eg, forget a few join constraints. We've gotten along fine with nothing but query cancel and statement_timeout for that, and I've seen no one proposing that we need to "fix it". We don't disallow you from writing an infinite loop in plpgsql, either. I think this patch is plenty complicated enough without adding useless restrictive options. 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

We could have a separate guc variable which limits the maximum number of levels of recursive iterations. That might be a useful feature for DBAs that want to limit their users from issuing an infinite query. Note that users can always construct their query to limit the number of recursive iterations. So this would only be useful for DBAs that don't trust their users and want to impose a limit. It doesn't add any actual expressive power that SQL doesn't have already. The recursive query syntax in the spec actually does include the ability to assign an output column to show what level of recursive iteration you're on. So alternately we could have a GUC variable which just allows the DBA to prohibit any recursive query without such a column and a fiter imposing a maximum value on it. That's probably the most appropriate option. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's Slony Replication support! -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
