Thread: New VACUUM FULL crashes on temp relations

TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(typeNamespace == typ->typnamespace)", File:
"pg_type.c", Line: 658)

Test case attached, repeated, consistent failure on CVS HEAD.

Crash occurs with either CLUSTER or VACUUM FULL.

Passed on without further investigation.

I see the same assertion failure on 8.4.2, too.
I'll investigating it...

-- minimum reproducible pattern
drop table if exists footemp;
create temp table footemp (col1 serial, col2 text);
create index footemp_col1_idx on footemp (col1);
cluster footemp using footemp_col1_idx;

It comes from swapping toast relations:
  DEBUG:  typeNamespace mismatch: 99 (pg_toast) vs. 16386 (pg_toast_temp_2)

AFAICS, the assertion is broken, but the code is correct. We just need to
adjust the expression in the assertion.
Patch attached, including new regression tests for clustering a temp table.

I'll go for backpatcting if the attached fix is correct. Comments welcome.

I think this is 100% wrong.  Toast tables shouldn't be changing
namespace either; which means you broke something somewhere else.

After tracing through it, the problem is that rebuild_relation() assumes
toast tables are always in PG_TOAST_NAMESPACE; which has not been true
since 8.3.  CLUSTER has been renaming temp toast tables into the wrong
namespace right along.  Without the assert to call attention to it, who
knows how long it would've taken to notice :-(

Will fix.

No, on closer inspection the bug was introduced here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2008-10/msg00118.php
so 8.3 was OK.  In a non-asserting build the only consequence would have
been that checks for conflicting names were done in the wrong namespace.
Given the improbability of a conflict, we could have gone a very long
time before noticing the problem.  But it was still wrong.
