Fix limitations on what SQL commands can be issued to a walsender.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 4ec54498c5ea · 2022-01-24T15:33:34.000-05:00
In logical replication mode, a WalSender is supposed to be able to execute any regular SQL command, as well as the special replication commands. Poor design of the replication-command parser caused it to fail in various cases, notably: * semicolons embedded in a command, or multiple SQL commands sent in a single message; * dollar-quoted literals containing odd numbers of single or double quote marks; * commands starting with a comment. The basic problem here is that we're trying to run repl_scanner.l across the entire input string even when it's not a replication command. Since repl_scanner.l does not understand all of the token types known to the core lexer, this is doomed to have failure modes. We certainly don't want to make repl_scanner.l as big as scan.l, so instead rejigger stuff so that we only lex the first token of a non-replication command. That will usually look like an IDENT to repl_scanner.l, though a comment would end up getting reported as a '-' or '/' single-character token. If the token is a replication command keyword, we push it back and proceed normally with repl_gram.y parsing. Otherwise, we can drop out of exec_replication_command() without examining the rest of the string. (It's still theoretically possible for repl_scanner.l to fail on the first token; but that could only happen if it's an unterminated single- or double-quoted string, in which case you'd have gotten largely the same error from the core lexer too.) In this way, repl_gram.y isn't involved at all in handling general SQL commands, so we can get rid of the SQLCmd node type. (In the back branches, we can't remove it because renumbering enum NodeTag would be an ABI break; so just leave it sit there unused.) I failed to resist the temptation to clean up some other sloppy coding in repl_scanner.l while at it. The only externally-visible behavior change from that is it now accepts \r and \f as whitespace, same as the core lexer. Per bug #17379 from Greg Rychlewski. Back-patch to all supported branches.
