postgis_restore doesn't strip 2.1 function signatures

Reported by: kesar Owned by: strk
Priority: low Milestone: PostGIS 3.4.1
Component: build Version: 3.4.x
Keywords: postgis_restore Cc: pramsey

Description

Hi,

we are migrating an old database to a new server and doing the HARD UPGRADE (as instructed in http://postgis.net/docs/manual-3.4/postgis_administration.html#hard_upgrade) from Postgis 2.1.8 to 3.4.

Seems that some deprecated/old functions are not stripped by postgis_restore:

CREATE FUNCTION pgis_abs_in(cstring) RETURNS pgis_abs
    LANGUAGE c IMMUTABLE STRICT
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_abs_in';

CREATE FUNCTION pgis_abs_out(pgis_abs) RETURNS cstring
    LANGUAGE c IMMUTABLE STRICT
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_abs_out';

CREATE FUNCTION pgis_geometry_accum_finalfn(pgis_abs) RETURNS geometry[]
    LANGUAGE c
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_geometry_accum_finalfn';


CREATE FUNCTION pgis_geometry_accum_transfn(pgis_abs, geometry) RETURNS pgis_abs
    LANGUAGE c
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_geometry_accum_transfn';


CREATE FUNCTION pgis_geometry_collect_finalfn(pgis_abs) RETURNS geometry
    LANGUAGE c
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_geometry_collect_finalfn';

CREATE FUNCTION pgis_geometry_makeline_finalfn(pgis_abs) RETURNS geometry
    LANGUAGE c
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_geometry_makeline_finalfn';

CREATE FUNCTION pgis_geometry_polygonize_finalfn(pgis_abs) RETURNS geometry
    LANGUAGE c
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_geometry_polygonize_finalfn';

CREATE FUNCTION pgis_geometry_union_finalfn(pgis_abs) RETURNS geometry
    LANGUAGE c
    AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1', 'pgis_geometry_union_finalfn';

CREATE FUNCTION st_askml(geog geography, maxdecimaldigits integer DEFAULT 15) RETURNS text
    LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE STRICT
    AS $_$SELECT _ST_AsKML(2, $1, $2, null)$_$;


CREATE FUNCTION st_askml(geom geometry, maxdecimaldigits integer DEFAULT 15) RETURNS text
    LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE STRICT
    AS $_$ SELECT _ST_AsKML(2, ST_Transform($1,4326), $2, null); $_$;


CREATE FUNCTION st_dwithin(geography, geography, double precision) RETURNS boolean
    LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE
    AS $_$SELECT $1 && _ST_Expand($2,$3) AND $2 && _ST_Expand($1,$3) AND _ST_DWithin($1, $2, $3, true)$_$;

It also tries to add comments to non-existent functions and constraints to already existing Postgis 3.4 tables.

Can you share the manifest of your dump ? You obtain it with pg_restore -l <yourdumpfile>

comment:2 by strk, 14 months ago

Also please report the full target version from which postgis_restore was built (unfortunately we never added a —version switch to it so you'll have to figure out in some other way)

comment:3 by strk, 14 months ago

Cc: prasey added

The pgis_abs_in signature was deprecated in 2.5.0 according to postgis/postgis_legacy.c and there's a mention in it in doc/rfc/postgis_rfc_03_sheet.txt that I don't understand (rfc03 was commited by Paul in 2009: ideas Paul?)

What's clearly missing is a DROP of that function in any of the upgrade scripts, which means whoever is upgrading from a version < 2.5.0 might have that function left in the database. The regress/core/regress.sql test should catch this case reporting unexpected probin but none of our bots are testing upgrades from 2.4.x: oldest upgrade is tested by woodie from 2.5.9: https://woodie.osgeo.org/repos/30/pipeline/1305/14

So, Paul or Regina: any idea why we'd ever want to keep those old functions rather than dropping them on upgrade (adding them to postgis_after_upgrade or something ?)

The only reason for that I can think of is that our upgrade script is not able to change the "geometry" TYPE definition and thus will STILL use the old functions, but it would not seem a good reason to keep old function around to me (rather we should fix the upgrade)

comment:4 by kesar, 14 months ago

Hi & thank you!

OK, I added a sanitized version of the manifest output as an attachment.

The version of postgis_restore we are using is installed from Postgresql.org RHEL8 pgdg13-repository's package postgis34_13

$ dnf info 'postgis34_13' | grep Source
Source       : postgis34_13-3.4.0-1PGDG.rhel8.src.rpm

comment:5 by strk, 14 months ago

Looking at the generated DATA section in postgis_restore.pl, and focusing to a single signature, we have:

In manifest:

6714; 0 0 COMMENT public FUNCTION st_asgeojson(gj_version integer, geog geography, maxdecimaldigits integer, options integer) postgres 1019; 1255 304728 FUNCTION public st_asgeojson(integer, geography, integer, integer) postgres

In skip list:

COMMENT FUNCTION st_asgeojson(version integer, geog geography, maxdecimaldigits integer, options integer) FUNCTION st_asgeojson(integer, geography, integer, integer)

Sounds like our upgrade procedure is getting some parameter names wrong

kesar: are you able by any chance to provide also a schema-only dump for us to test restoring ?

Version 0, edited 14 months ago by strk (next)

comment:6 by strk, 14 months ago

The source of our st_asgeojson(version integer... SKIP line is postgis/legacy.sql.in which is where that signature is found. There's no mention anywhere about a gj_version integer parameter ever being found in postgis, for ST_AsGeoJSON

comment:7 by strk, 14 months ago

The ST_AsGeoJson(gj_version int4, geog geography, maxdecimaldigits int4 DEFAULT 15, options int4 DEFAULT 0) signature was present in 2.5 branch, dropped in 3.0

comment:8 by strk, 14 months ago

The actual source is postgis/uninstall_legacy.sql which drops the "version integer" but not the "gj_version integer". I guess we want to enhance utils/create_skip_signatures.pl to also parse _postgis_drop_function_by_identity as that's where the knowledge about obsoleted functions is now encoded

comment:9 by strk, 14 months ago

I would add that this ST_AsGeoJSON case should emerge in upgrades dump-reload based upgrades from 2.5 but evidently none of our bots are testing that ! Commit [ecea1b90e42943d78affaf8ddb96dbacc198f9a9/git] added support for those tests in run_test.pl so we want to enable them in CI.

I filed https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/5573 for this

comment:10 by strk, 14 months ago

The ST_AsGeoJSON issue is now confirmed by CI: https://woodie.osgeo.org/repos/30/pipeline/1324/7#L9821

comment:11 by strk, 14 months ago

With recent commits we got CI successfully test of hard-upgrade procedure with a dump of a database created via script from 2.5.9 — the code is in the current stable-3.4 branch. Your dump is pretty old, coming from 2.1. Our CI infrastructure is not ready to test 2.1 and we don't even have anymore the information about which PostgreSQL version worked with 2.1 ( 2.5 is the oldest we have info for: https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS ).

Getting our hands on that structure-only dump could be useful to run some manual tests

comment:13 by strk, 14 months ago

I found a way to test without having the dump:

touch x;
postgis_restore -v -L postgis21_manifest.txt x 2>&1 | grep KEEP

we will not want any postgis object in the output.

With the current code the left over are:

KEEP: SHELLTYPE pgis_abs
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_abs_in(cstring)
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_abs_out(pgis_abs)
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_geometry_accum_finalfn(pgis_abs)
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_geometry_accum_transfn(pgis_abs, geometry)
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_geometry_collect_finalfn(pgis_abs)
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_geometry_makeline_finalfn(pgis_abs)
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_geometry_polygonize_finalfn(pgis_abs)
KEEP: FUNCTION pgis_geometry_union_finalfn(pgis_abs)

comment:14 by strk, 14 months ago

In addition to those functions reported below, we also have a lot of unexpected COMMENT retained which shouldnt be:

Ticket #3078 deals with the enhancement of not keeping those function comments.

pgis_abs_in and pgis_abs_out were functions used for the pgis_abs datatype up to PostGIS-2.4, deprecated in PostGIS-2.5 — drop of which was handled in #4035 but then somehow moved to postgis_legacy.c as part of #4193

Thanks kesar, feel free to try the newest postgis_restore in the stable-3.4 branch as I now expect that to give you NO error

Hi, sorry for the late reply - the new version works great, thank you very much!
