* Tweak writetup_heap/readtup_heap to avoid storing the tuple identityTom Lane2006-05-232-20/+91
| | | | | | | | and transaction visibility fields of tuples being sorted. These are always uninteresting in a tuple being sorted (if the fields were actually selected, they'd have been pulled out into user columns beforehand). This saves about 24 bytes per row being sorted, which is a useful savings for any but the widest of sort rows. Per recent discussion.

Remove some other unused macros in execdebug.h, too. Some day the whole header probably ought to go away in favor of better-designed facilities.

* Modify libpq's string-escaping routines to be aware of encoding considerationsTom Lane2006-05-216-83/+309
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and standard_conforming_strings. The encoding changes are needed for proper escaping in multibyte encodings, as per the SQL-injection vulnerabilities noted in CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314. Concurrent fixes are being applied to the server to ensure that it rejects queries that may have been corrupted by attempted SQL injection, but this merely guarantees that unpatched clients will fail rather than allow injection. An actual fix requires changing the client-side code. While at it we have also fixed these routines to understand about standard_conforming_strings, so that the upcoming changeover to SQL-spec string syntax can be somewhat transparent to client code. Since the existing API of PQescapeString and PQescapeBytea provides no way to inform them which settings are in use, these functions are now deprecated in favor of new functions PQescapeStringConn and PQescapeByteaConn. The new functions take the PGconn to which the string will be sent as an additional parameter, and look inside the connection structure to determine what to do. So as to provide some functionality for clients using the old functions, libpq stores the latest encoding and standard_conforming_strings values received from the backend in static variables, and the old functions consult these variables. This will work reliably in clients using only one Postgres connection at a time, or even multiple connections if they all use the same encoding and string syntax settings; which should cover many practical scenarios. Clients that use homebrew escaping methods, such as PHP's addslashes() function or even hardwired regexp substitution, will require extra effort to fix :-(. It is strongly recommended that such code be replaced by use of PQescapeStringConn/PQescapeByteaConn if at all feasible.
* Add a new GUC parameter backslash_quote, which determines whether the SQLTom Lane2006-05-215-4/+98
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parser will allow "\'" to be used to represent a literal quote mark. The "\'" representation has been deprecated for some time in favor of the SQL-standard representation "''" (two single quote marks), but it has been used often enough that just disallowing it immediately won't do. Hence backslash_quote allows the settings "on", "off", and "safe_encoding", the last meaning to allow "\'" only if client_encoding is a valid server encoding. That is now the default, and the reason is that in encodings such as SJIS that allow 0x5c (ASCII backslash) to be the last byte of a multibyte character, accepting "\'" allows SQL-injection attacks as per CVE-2006-2314 (further details will be published after release). The "on" setting is available for backward compatibility, but it must not be used with clients that are exposed to untrusted input. Thanks to Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki for identifying this security issue.
* Change the backend to reject strings containing invalidly-encoded multibyteTom Lane2006-05-2131-932/+1527
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | characters in all cases. Formerly we mostly just threw warnings for invalid input, and failed to detect it at all if no encoding conversion was required. The tighter check is needed to defend against SQL-injection attacks as per CVE-2006-2313 (further details will be published after release). Embedded zero (null) bytes will be rejected as well. The checks are applied during input to the backend (receipt from client or COPY IN), so it no longer seems necessary to check in textin() and related routines; any string arriving at those functions will already have been validated. Conversion failure reporting (for characters with no equivalent in the destination encoding) has been cleaned up and made consistent while at it. Also, fix a few longstanding errors in little-used encoding conversion routines: win1251_to_iso, win866_to_iso, euc_tw_to_big5, euc_tw_to_mic, mic_to_euc_tw were all broken to varying extents. Patches by Tatsuo Ishii and Tom Lane. Thanks to Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki for identifying the security issues.

* Fix choose_bitmap_and() so that partial index predicates are considered whenTom Lane2006-05-181-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | deciding whether a potential additional indexscan is redundant or not. As now coded, any use of a partial index that was already used in a previous AND arm will be rejected as redundant. This might be overly restrictive, but not considering the point at all is definitely bad, as per example in bug #2441 from Arjen van der Meijden. In particular, a clauseless scan of a partial index was *never* considered redundant by the previous coding, and that's surely wrong. Being more flexible would also require some consideration of how not to double-count the index predicate's selectivity.
* When a bitmap indexscan is using a partial index, it is necessary to includeTom Lane2006-05-181-25/+27
| | | | | | | the partial index predicate in the scan's "recheck condition". Otherwise, if the scan becomes lossy for lack of bitmap memory, we would fail to enforce that returned rows satisfy the predicate. Noted while studying bug #2441 from Arjen van der Meijden.

* Fix thinko in recent changes to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr as an indexableTom Lane2006-05-181-44/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | condition: when there are multiple possible index paths involving ScalarArrayOpExprs, they are logically to be ANDed together not ORed. This thinko was a direct consequence of trying to put the processing inside generate_bitmap_or_paths(), which I now see was a bit too cute. So pull it out and make the callers do it separately (there are only two that need it anyway). Partially responds to bug #2441 from Arjen van der Meijden. There are some additional infelicities exposed by his example, but they are also in 8.1.x, while this mistake is not.
