15 years agoMark internal_in as not strict, so that the construct "null::internal"

Mark internal_in as not strict, so that the construct "null::internal"
will throw an error, rather than possibly allowing someone to synthesize
a manual call to an internal-accepting function.  As of CVS HEAD and existing
releases, all such functions are either STRICT or careful about null inputs,
so there is no current security issue here.  But it seems like a good idea
to lock this down to protect against future mistakes.

In passing, similarly lock down trigger_in, language_handler_in, opaque_in,
and shell_in.  These are not believed to present any security risk, but
there's still no good reason to allow nulls of these types to be created.
I left the polymorphic pseudotypes (anyelement etc) alone, since a null
of one of those types doesn't seem to be a problem --- the worst you can
say about it is that it doesn't have an underlying non-polymorphic type.

If we were to make this change during normal development, we'd just
automatically bump catversion for a pg_proc.h change.  But since this doesn't
create a compatibility risk and isn't believed to be fixing a live bug, it
seems better not to force a catversion bump in late beta.

behavior in cases where we don't know the heap tuple count accurately; in
particular partial vacuum, but this also makes the API a bit more useful
for ANALYZE.  This patch adds "estimated_count" flags to both structs so
that an approximate count can be flagged as such, and adjusts the logic
so that approximate counts are not used for updating pg_class.reltuples.

This fixes my previous complaint that VACUUM was putting ridiculous values
into pg_class.reltuples for indexes.  The actual impact of that bug is
limited, because the planner only pays attention to reltuples for an index
if the index is partial; which probably explains why beta testers hadn't
noticed a degradation in plan quality from it.  But it needs to be fixed.

The whole thing is a bit messy and should be redesigned in future, because
reltuples now has the potential to drift quite far away from reality when

Change AdjustIntervalForTypmod to not discard higher-order field values on the
grounds that they don't fit into the specified interval qualifier (typmod).
This behavior, while of long standing, is clearly wrong per spec --- for
example the value INTERVAL '999' SECOND means 999 seconds and should not be
reduced to less than 60 seconds.

In some cases there could be grounds to raise an error if higher-order field
values are not given as zero; for example '1 year 1 month'::INTERVAL MONTH
should arguably be taken as an error rather than equivalent to 13 months.
However our internal representation doesn't allow us to do that in a fashion
that would consistently reject all and only the cases that a strict reading
of the spec would suggest.  Also, seeing that for example INTERVAL '13' MONTH
will print out as '1 year 1 mon', we have to be careful not to create a
situation where valid data will fail to dump and reload.  The present patch
therefore takes the attitude of not throwing an error in any such case.
We might want to revisit that in future but it would take more redesign
than seems prudent in late beta.

Per a complaint from Sebastien Flaesch and subsequent discussion.  While
at other times we might have just postponed such an issue to the next
