Daniel Gustafsson 68174679fe doc: Document error handling in PGTYPESnumeric_to_long
The documentation for PGTYPESnumeric_to_long only mentioned errno
being set to indicate overflow but the code also sets errno when
underflow happens.

Peter Eisentraut d44032d014 pg_createsubscriber: creates a new logical replica from a standby server
It must be run on the target server and should be able to connect to
the source server (publisher) and the target server (subscriber).  All
tables in the specified database(s) are included in the logical
replication setup.  A pair of publication and subscription objects are
created for each database.

The main advantage of pg_createsubscriber over the common logical
replication setup is the initial data copy.  It also reduces the
catchup phase.

Some prerequisites must be met to successfully run it.  It is
basically the logical replication requirements.  It starts creating a
publication using FOR ALL TABLES and a replication slot for each
specified database.  Write recovery parameters into the target data
directory and start the target server.  It specifies the LSN of the
last replication slot (replication start point) up to which the
recovery will proceed.  Wait until the target server is promoted.
Create one subscription per specified database (using publication and
replication slot created in a previous step) on the target server.
Set the replication progress to the replication start point for each
subscription.  Enable the subscription for each specified database on
the target server.  And finally, change the system identifier on the
target server.

Amit Kapila a11f330b55 Track last_inactive_time in pg_replication_slots.
This commit adds a new property called last_inactive_time for slots. It is
set to 0 whenever a slot is made active/acquired and set to the current
timestamp whenever the slot is inactive/released or restored from the disk.
Note that we don't set the last_inactive_time for the slots currently being
synced from the primary to the standby because such slots are typically
inactive as decoding is not allowed on those.

The 'last_inactive_time' will be useful on production servers to debug and
analyze inactive replication slots. It will also help to know the lifetime
of a replication slot - one can know how long a streaming standby, logical
subscriber, or replication slot consumer is down.

The 'last_inactive_time' will also be useful to implement inactive
timeout-based replication slot invalidation in a future commit.

Alexander Korotkov 47f99a407d reindexdb: Add the index-level REINDEX with multiple jobs
Straight-forward index-level REINDEX is not supported with multiple jobs as
we cannot control the concurrent processing of multiple indexes depending on
the same relation.  Instead, we dedicate the whole table to certain reindex
job.  Thus, if indexes in the lists belong to different tables, that gives us
a fair level of parallelism.

This commit teaches get_parallel_object_list() to fetch table names for
indexes in the case of index-level REINDEX.  The same tables are grouped
together in the output order, and the list of indexes is also rebuilt to
match that order.  Later during processingof that list, we push indexes
belonging to the same table into the same job.

Amit Kapila 6ae701b437 Track invalidation_reason in pg_replication_slots.
Till now, the reason for replication slot invalidation is not tracked
directly in pg_replication_slots. A recent commit 007693f2a3 added
'conflict_reason' to show the reasons for slot conflict/invalidation, but
only for logical slots.

This commit adds a new column 'invalidation_reason' to show invalidation
reasons for both physical and logical slots. And, this commit also turns
'conflict_reason' text column to 'conflicting' boolean column (effectively
reverting commit 007693f2a3). The 'conflicting' column is true for
invalidation reasons 'rows_removed' and 'wal_level_insufficient' because
those make the slot conflict with recovery. When 'conflicting' is true,
one can now look at the new 'invalidation_reason' column for the reason
for the logical slot's conflict with recovery.

The new 'invalidation_reason' column will also be useful to track other
invalidation reasons in the future commit.

Robert Haas 57184c3b5d docs: Make claims about the benefits of HOT updates more precise.
The old text claims that HOT completely removes old row versions.
It was unclear whether it just meant the tuples themselves, or the
tuples together with their line pointers. If it meant the former,
it was wrong because we can remove dead row versions even when no
HOT updates have occurred, so it's not describing a benefit of HOT.
If it meant the latter, it was wrong because HOT doesn't allow
reclaiming the root tuple's line pointer.

This section does seems like it's intended to be more of an
informal introduction to HOT than a precise technical description
of every detail of how it works, but we still don't want it to
say things that are just not true, so update the text enough
to avoid that.

preferred more extensive changes) and Shubham Khanna.

Amit Langote 6185c9737c Add SQL/JSON query functions
This introduces the following SQL/JSON functions for querying JSON
data using jsonpath expressions:

JSON_EXISTS(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a
JSON value to check if it yields any values.

JSON_QUERY(), which can be used to to apply a jsonpath expression to
a JSON value to get a JSON object, an array, or a string.  There are
various options to control whether multi-value result uses array
wrappers and whether the singleton scalar strings are quoted or not.

JSON_VALUE(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a
JSON value to return a single scalar value, producing an error if it
multiple values are matched.

Both JSON_VALUE() and JSON_QUERY() functions have options for
handling EMPTY and ERROR conditions, which can be used to specify
the behavior when no values are matched and when an error occurs
during jsonpath evaluation, respectively.

Tom Lane 1218ca9956 Add to_regtypemod function to extract typemod from a string type name.
In combination with to_regtype, this allows converting a string to
the "canonicalized" form emitted by format_type.  That usage requires
parsing the string twice, which is slightly annoying but not really
too expensive.  We considered alternatives such as returning a record
type, but that way was notationally uglier than this, and possibly
less flexible.

Like to_regtype(), we'd rather that this return NULL for any bad
input, but the underlying type-parsing logic isn't yet capable of
not throwing syntax errors.  Adjust the documentation for both
functions to point that out.

In passing, fix up a couple of nearby entries in the System Catalog

since-v13 convention for displaying function usage examples.

Jeff Davis f69319f2f1 Support C.UTF-8 locale in the new builtin collation provider.
The builtin C.UTF-8 locale has similar semantics to the libc locale of
the same name. That is, code point sort order (fast, memcmp-based)
combined with Unicode semantics for character operations such as
pattern matching, regular expressions, and
LOWER()/INITCAP()/UPPER(). The character semantics are based on
Unicode simple case mappings.

The builtin provider's C.UTF-8 offers several important advantages
over libc:

 * faster sorting -- benefits from additional optimizations such as
   abbreviated keys and varstrfastcmp_c
 * faster case conversion, e.g. LOWER(), at least compared with some
   libc implementations
 * available on all platforms with identical semantics, and the
   semantics are stable, testable, and documentable within a given
   Postgres major version

Being based on memcmp, the builtin C.UTF-8 locale does not offer
natural language sort order. But it is an improvement for most use
cases that might otherwise use libc's "C.UTF-8" locale, as well as
many use cases that use libc's "C" locale.

Tom Lane fd0398fcb0 Improve EXPLAIN's display of SubPlan nodes and output parameters.
Historically we've printed SubPlan expression nodes as "(SubPlan N)",
which is pretty uninformative.  Trying to reproduce the original SQL
for the subquery is still as impractical as before, and would be
mighty verbose as well.  However, we can still do better than that.
Displaying the "testexpr" when present, and adding a keyword to
indicate the SubLinkType, goes a long way toward showing what's
really going on.

In addition, this patch gets rid of EXPLAIN's use of "$n" to represent
subplan and initplan output Params.  Instead we now print "(SubPlan
N).colX" or "(InitPlan N).colX" to represent the X'th output column
of that subplan.  This eliminates confusion with the use of "$n" to
represent PARAM_EXTERN Params, and it's useful for the first part of
this change because it eliminates needing some other indication of
which subplan is referenced by a SubPlan that has a testexpr.

In passing, this adds simple regression test coverage of the
ROWCOMPARE_SUBLINK code paths, which were entirely unburdened
by testing before.

Jeff Davis 2d819a08a1 Introduce "builtin" collation provider.
New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any
external dependency.

Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C",
which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc
provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that
uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the
new builtin provider uses the same implementation.

The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment
variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the
database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are
set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider.

By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of
a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes
it easier to document the behavior.

Robert Haas 2041bc4276 Add the system identifier to backup manifests.
Before this patch, if you took a full backup on server A and then
tried to use the backup manifest to take an incremental backup on
server B, it wouldn't know that the manifest was from a different
server and so the incremental backup operation could potentially
complete without error. When you later tried to run pg_combinebackup,
you'd find out that your incremental backup was and always had been
invalid. That's poor timing, because nobody likes finding out about
backup problems only at restore time.

With this patch, you'll get an error when trying to take the (invalid)

Dean Rasheed 97d4262683 doc: Improve a couple of places in the MERGE docs.
In the synopsis, make the syntax for merge_update consistent with the
syntax for a plain UPDATE command. It was missing the optional "ROW"
keyword that can be used in a multi-column assignment, and the option
to assign from a multi-column subquery, both of which have been
supported by MERGE since it was introduced.

In the parameters section for the with_query parameter, mention that
WITH RECURSIVE isn't supported, since this is different from plain
INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands. While at it, move that entry to
the top of the list, for consistency with the other pages.

Back-patch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

libpq: Add encrypted and non-blocking query cancellation routines
The existing PQcancel API uses blocking IO, which makes PQcancel
impossible to use in an event loop based codebase without blocking the
event loop until the call returns.  It also doesn't encrypt the
connection over which the cancel request is sent, even when the original
connection required encryption.

This commit adds a PQcancelConn struct and assorted functions, which
provide a better mechanism of sending cancel requests; in particular all
the encryption used in the original connection are also used in the
cancel connection.  The main entry points are:

- PQcancelCreate creates the PQcancelConn based on the original
  connection (but does not establish an actual connection).
- PQcancelStart can be used to initiate non-blocking cancel requests,
  using encryption if the original connection did so, which must be
  pumped using
- PQcancelPoll.
- PQcancelReset puts a PQcancelConn back in state so that it can be
  reused to send a new cancel request to the same connection.
- PQcancelBlocking is a simpler-to-use blocking API that still uses
  encryption.

Additional functions are
 - PQcancelStatus, mimicks PQstatus;
 - PQcancelSocket, mimicks PQcancelSocket;
 - PQcancelErrorMessage, mimicks PQerrorMessage;
 - PQcancelFinish, mimicks PQfinish.

Amit Kapila bf279ddd1c Introduce a new GUC 'standby_slot_names'.
This patch provides a way to ensure that physical standbys that are
potential failover candidates have received and flushed changes before
the primary server making them visible to subscribers. Doing so guarantees
that the promoted standby server is not lagging behind the subscribers
when a failover is necessary.

The logical walsender now guarantees that all local changes are sent and
flushed to the standby servers corresponding to the replication slots
specified in 'standby_slot_names' before sending those changes to the
subscriber.

Additionally, the SQL functions pg_logical_slot_get_changes,
pg_logical_slot_peek_changes and pg_replication_slot_advance are modified
to ensure that they process changes for failover slots only after physical
slots specified in 'standby_slot_names' have confirmed WAL receipt for those.

pg_constraint.conwithoutoverlaps was recently added to support primary

upcoming patch provides the foreign-key side of this functionality,
but the syntax there is different and uses the keyword PERIOD.  It
would make sense to use the same pg_constraint field for both of
these, but then we should pick a more general name that conveys "this
constraint has a temporal/period-related feature".  conperiod works
for that and is nicely compact.  Changing this now avoids possibly
having to introduce versioning into clients.  Note there are still
some "without overlaps" variables left, which deal specifically with
the parsing of the primary key/unique constraint feature.

Alvaro Herrera 53c2a97a92
Improve performance of subsystems on top of SLRU
More precisely, what we do here is make the SLRU cache sizes
configurable with new GUCs, so that sites with high concurrency and big
ranges of transactions in flight (resp. multixacts/subtransactions) can
benefit from bigger caches.  In order for this to work with good
performance, two additional changes are made:

1. the cache is divided in "banks" (to borrow terminology from CPU
   caches), and algorithms such as eviction buffer search only affect
   one specific bank.  This forestalls the problem that linear searching
   for a specific buffer across the whole cache takes too long: we only
   have to search the specific bank, whose size is small.  This work is
   authored by Andrey Borodin.

2. Change the locking regime for the SLRU banks, so that each bank uses
   a separate LWLock.  This allows for increased scalability.  This work
   is authored by Dilip Kumar.  (A part of this was previously committed as
   d172b717c6f4.)

Special care is taken so that the algorithms that can potentially
traverse more than one bank release one bank's lock before acquiring the
next.  This should happen rarely, but particularly clog.c's group commit
feature needed code adjustment to cope with this.  I (Álvaro) also added
lots of comments to make sure the design is sound.

The new GUCs match the names introduced by bcdfa5f2e2 in the
pg_stat_slru view.

The default values for these parameters are similar to the previous
sizes of each SLRU.  commit_ts, clog and subtrans accept value 0, which
means to adjust by dividing shared_buffers by 512 (so 2MB for every 1GB
of shared_buffers), with a cap of 8MB.  (A new slru.c function
SimpleLruAutotuneBuffers() was added to support this.)  The cap was
previously 1MB for clog, so for sites with more than 512MB of shared
memory the total memory used increases, which is likely a good tradeoff.
However, other SLRUs (notably multixact ones) retain smaller sizes and
don't support a configured value of 0.  These values based on
shared_buffers may need to be revisited, but that's an easy change.

There was some resistance to adding these new GUCs: it would be better
to adjust to memory pressure automatically somehow, for example by
stealing memory from shared_buffers (where the caches can grow and
shrink naturally).  However, doing that seems to be a much larger
project and one which has made virtually no progress in several years,
and because this is such a pain point for so many users, here we take
the pragmatic approach.

The acute issue that triggered this decision was that after commit

assertion:

    TRAP: failed Assert("(uintptr_t) buffer == TYPEALIGN(PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, buffer)"), File: "md.c", Line: 472, PID: 2949728

Apperently the "pg_attribute_aligned(a)" attribute doesn't work on AIX
for values larger than PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, for a static const variable.
That could be worked around, but we decided to just drop the AIX support
instead.

Amit Kapila 93db6cbda0 Add a new slot sync worker to synchronize logical slots.
By enabling slot synchronization, all the failover logical replication
slots on the primary (assuming configurations are appropriate) are
automatically created on the physical standbys and are synced
periodically. The slot sync worker on the standby server pings the primary
server at regular intervals to get the necessary failover logical slots
information and create/update the slots locally. The slots that no longer
require synchronization are automatically dropped by the worker.

The nap time of the worker is tuned according to the activity on the
primary. The slot sync worker waits for some time before the next
synchronization, with the duration varying based on whether any slots were
updated during the last cycle.

A new parameter sync_replication_slots enables or disables this new
process.

On promotion, the slot sync worker is shut down by the startup process to
drop any temporary slots acquired by the slot sync worker and to prevent
the worker from trying to fetch the failover slots.

A functionality to allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will
be done in a subsequent commit.

how interval inputs are handled, but there are several field types
for which it seems useful to be specific.

Peter Eisentraut 0413a55699 Improve compression and storage support with inheritance
A child table can specify a compression or storage method different
from its parents.  This was previously an error.  (But this was
inconsistently enforced because for example the settings could be
changed later using ALTER TABLE.)  This now also allows an explicit
override if multiple parents have different compression or storage
settings, which was previously an error that could not be overridden.

The compression and storage properties remains unchanged in a child
inheriting from parent(s) after its creation, i.e., when using ALTER
TABLE ...  INHERIT.  (This is not changed.)

Before this change, the error detail would mention the first pair of
conflicting parent compression or storage methods.  But with this
change it waits till the child specification is considered by which
time we may have encountered many such conflicting pairs.  Hence the
error detail after this change does not include the conflicting
compression/storage methods.  Those can be obtained from parent
definitions if necessary.  The code to maintain list of all
conflicting methods or even the first conflicting pair does not seem
worth the convenience it offers.  This change is inline with what we
do with conflicting default values.

Before this commit, the specified storage method could be stored in
ColumnDef::storage (CREATE TABLE ... LIKE) or ColumnDef::storage_name
(CREATE TABLE ...).  This caused the MergeChildAttribute() and
MergeInheritedAttribute() to ignore a storage method specified in the
child definition since it looked only at ColumnDef::storage.  This
commit removes ColumnDef::storage and instead uses
ColumnDef::storage_name to save any storage method specification. This
is similar to how compression method specification is handled.

Nathan Bossart 28e4632509 Centralize logic for restoring errno in signal handlers.
Presently, we rely on each individual signal handler to save the
initial value of errno and then restore it before returning if
needed.  This is easily forgotten and, if missed, often goes
undetected for a long time.

In commit 3b00fdba9f, we introduced a wrapper signal handler
function that checks whether MyProcPid matches getpid().  This
commit moves the aforementioned errno restoration code from the
individual signal handlers to the new wrapper handler so that we no
longer need to worry about missing it.

Amit Kapila ddd5f4f54a Add a slot synchronization function.
This commit introduces a new SQL function pg_sync_replication_slots()
which is used to synchronize the logical replication slots from the
primary server to the physical standby so that logical replication can be
resumed after a failover or planned switchover.

A new 'synced' flag is introduced in pg_replication_slots view, indicating
whether the slot has been synchronized from the primary server. On a
standby, synced slots cannot be dropped or consumed, and any attempt to
perform logical decoding on them will result in an error.

The logical replication slots on the primary can be synchronized to the
hot standby by using the 'failover' parameter of
pg-create-logical-replication-slot(), or by using the 'failover' option of
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION during slot creation, and then calling
pg_sync_replication_slots() on standby. For the synchronization to work,
it is mandatory to have a physical replication slot between the primary
and the standby aka 'primary_slot_name' should be configured on the
standby, and 'hot_standby_feedback' must be enabled on the standby. It is
also necessary to specify a valid 'dbname' in the 'primary_conninfo'.

If a logical slot is invalidated on the primary, then that slot on the
standby is also invalidated.

If a logical slot on the primary is valid but is invalidated on the
standby, then that slot is dropped but will be recreated on the standby in
the next pg_sync_replication_slots() call provided the slot still exists
on the primary server. It is okay to recreate such slots as long as these
are not consumable on standby (which is the case currently). This
situation may occur due to the following reasons:
- The 'max_slot_wal_keep_size' on the standby is insufficient to retain
WAL records from the restart_lsn of the slot.
- 'primary_slot_name' is temporarily reset to null and the physical slot
is removed.

The slot synchronization status on the standby can be monitored using the
'synced' column of pg_replication_slots view.

A functionality to automatically synchronize slots by a background worker
and allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will be done in
subsequent commits.

Peter Eisentraut 5869aef9a1 Fix documentation build with older docbook-xsl
Commit b0f0a9432d backpatched some code from upstream DocBook XSL to
our customization layer.  It turned out that this failed to work with
anything but the latest DocBook XSL upstream version (1.79.*), because
the backpatched code references an XSLT parameter (autolink.index.see)
that is not defined in earlier versions (because the feature it is
used for did not exist yet).

There is no way in XSLT to test whether a parameter is declared before
the stylesheet processor tries and fails to access it.  So the
possibilities to fix this would be to either remove the code that uses
the parameter (and thus give up on the feature it is used for) or
declare the parameter in our customization layer.  The latter seems
easier, and with a few more lines of code we can backport the entire
autolink.index.see feature, so let's do that.  (If we didn't, then
with older stylesheets the parameter will appear as on, but it won't
actually do anything, because of the way the stylesheets are laid out,
so it's less confusing to just make it work.)

With this, the documentation build should work again with docbook-xsl
versions 1.77.*, 1.78.*, and 1.79.* (which already worked before).
Version 1.76.1 already didn't work before all this, so was not
considered here.

Amit Kapila 776621a5e4 Add a failover option to subscriptions.
This commit introduces a new subscription option named 'failover', which
provides users with the ability to set the failover property of the
replication slot on the publisher when creating or altering a
subscription.

This uses the replication commands introduced by commit 7329240437 to
enable the failover option for a logical replication slot.

If the failover option is set to true, the associated replication slots
(i.e. the main slot and the table sync slots) in the upstream database are
enabled to be synchronized to the standbys. Note that the capability to
sync the replication slots will be added in subsequent commits.

Tom Lane 8ba6fdf905 Support TZ and OF format codes in to_timestamp().
Formerly, these were only supported in to_char(), but there seems
little reason for that restriction.  We should at least have enough
support to permit round-tripping the output of to_char().

In that spirit, TZ accepts either zone abbreviations or numeric
(HH or HH:MM) offsets, which are the cases that to_char() can output.
In an ideal world we'd make it take full zone names too, but
that seems like it'd introduce an unreasonable amount of ambiguity,
since the rules for POSIX-spec zone names are so lax.

OF is a subset of this, accepting only HH or HH:MM.

One small benefit of this improvement is that we can simplify
jsonpath's executeDateTimeMethod function, which no longer needs
to consider the HH and HH:MM cases separately.  Moreover, letting
it accept zone abbreviations means it will accept "Z" to mean UTC,
which is emitted by JSON.stringify() for example.

In addition to the SQL-spec behavior, where a path returns
a list of matching items, we have a "predicate check" form
that always returns a single boolean result.  That was mentioned
in only one place, but it seems better to annotate each operator
and function as to which form(s) it takes.  Also improve the
examples by converting them into actual executable SQL with

Andrew Dunstan 66ea94e8e6 Implement various jsonpath methods
This commit implements ithe jsonpath .bigint(), .boolean(),
.date(), .decimal([precision [, scale]]), .integer(), .number(),
.string(), .time(), .time_tz(), .timestamp(), and .timestamp_tz()
methods.

.bigint() converts the given JSON string or a numeric value to
the bigint type representation.

.boolean() converts the given JSON string, numeric, or boolean
value to the boolean type representation.  In the numeric case, only
integers are allowed. We use the parse_bool() backend function
to convert a string to a bool.

.decimal([precision [, scale]]) converts the given JSON string
or a numeric value to the numeric type representation.  If precision
and scale are provided for .decimal(), then it is converted to the
equivalent numeric typmod and applied to the numeric number.

.integer() and .number() convert the given JSON string or a
numeric value to the int4 and numeric type representation.

.string() uses the datatype's output function to convert numeric
and various date/time types to the string representation.

The JSON string representing a valid date/time is converted to the
specific date or time type representation using jsonpath .date(),
.time(), .time_tz(), .timestamp(), .timestamp_tz() methods.  The
changes use the infrastructure of the .datetime() method and perform
the datatype conversion as appropriate.  Unlike the .datetime()
method, none of these methods accept a format template and use ISO
DateTime format instead.  However, except for .date(), the
date/time related methods take an optional precision to adjust the
fractional seconds.

Amit Kapila c393308b69 Allow to enable failover property for replication slots via SQL API.
This commit adds the failover property to the replication slot. The
failover property indicates whether the slot will be synced to the standby
servers, enabling the resumption of corresponding logical replication
after failover. But note that this commit does not yet include the
capability to sync the replication slot; the subsequent commits will add
that capability.

A new optional parameter 'failover' is added to the
pg_create_logical_replication_slot() function. We will also enable to set
'failover' option for slots via the subscription commands in the
subsequent commits.

The value of the 'failover' flag is displayed as part of
pg_replication_slots view.

Amit Langote 1edb3b491b Adjust populate_record_field() to handle errors softly
This adds a Node *escontext parameter to it and a bunch of functions
downstream to it, replacing any ereport()s in that path by either
errsave() or ereturn() as appropriate.  This also adds code to those
functions where necessary to return early upon encountering a soft
error.

The changes here are mainly intended to suppress errors in the
functions of jsonfuncs.c.  Functions in any external modules, such as
arrayfuncs.c, that those functions may in turn call are not changed
here based on the assumption that the various checks in jsonfuncs.c
functions should ensure that only values that are structurally valid
get passed to the functions in those external modules.  An exception
is made for domain_check() to allow handling domain constraint
violation errors softly.

For testing, this adds a function jsonb_populate_record_valid(),
which returns true if jsonb_populate_record() would finish without
causing an error for the provided JSON object, false otherwise.  Note
that jsonb_populate_record() internally calls populate_record(),
which in turn uses populate_record_field().

Extracted from a much larger patch to add SQL/JSON query functions.

Michael Paquier d86d20f0ba Add backend support for injection points
Injection points are a new facility that makes possible for developers
to run custom code in pre-defined code paths.  Its goal is to provide
ways to design and run advanced tests, for cases like:
- Race conditions, where processes need to do actions in a controlled
ordered manner.
- Forcing a state, like an ERROR, FATAL or even PANIC for OOM, to force
recovery, etc.
- Arbitrary sleeps.

This implements some basics, and there are plans to extend it more in
the future depending on what's required.  Hence, this commit adds a set
of routines in the backend that allows developers to attach, detach and
run injection points:
- A code path calling an injection point can be declared with the macro
INJECTION_POINT(name).
- InjectionPointAttach() and InjectionPointDetach() to respectively
attach and detach a callback to/from an injection point.  An injection
point name is registered in a shmem hash table with a library name and a
function name, which will be used to load the callback attached to an
injection point when its code path is run.

Injection point names are just strings, so as an injection point can be
declared and run by out-of-core extensions and modules, with callbacks
defined in external libraries.

This facility is hidden behind a dedicated switch for ./configure and
meson, disabled by default.

Note that backends use a local cache to store callbacks already loaded,
cleaning up their cache if a callback has found to be removed on a
best-effort basis.  This could be refined further but any tests but what
we have here was fine with the tests I've written while implementing
these backend APIs.

Nathan Bossart 8b2bcf3f28 Introduce the dynamic shared memory registry.
Presently, the most straightforward way for a shared library to use
shared memory is to request it at server startup via a
shmem_request_hook, which requires specifying the library in
shared_preload_libraries.  Alternatively, the library can create a
dynamic shared memory (DSM) segment, but absent a shared location
to store the segment's handle, other backends cannot use it.  This
commit introduces a registry for DSM segments so that these other
backends can look up existing segments with a library-specified
string.  This allows libraries to easily use shared memory without
needing to request it at server startup.

The registry is accessed via the new GetNamedDSMSegment() function.
This function handles allocating the segment and initializing it
via a provided callback.  If another backend already created and
initialized the segment, it simply attaches the segment.
GetNamedDSMSegment() locks the registry appropriately to ensure
that only one backend initializes the segment and that all other
backends just attach it.

The registry itself is comprised of a dshash table that stores the
DSM segment handles keyed by a library-specified string.

Currently, SAVE_ERROR_TO only supports "none". This indicates error information

Peter Eisentraut 6995863157 Support identity columns in partitioned tables
Previously, identity columns were disallowed on partitioned tables.
(The reason was mainly that no one had gotten around to working
through all the details to make it work.)  This makes it work now.

Some details on the behavior:

* A newly created partition inherits identity property

  The partitions of a partitioned table are integral part of the
  partitioned table.  A partition inherits identity columns from the
  partitioned table.  An identity column of a partition shares the
  identity space with the corresponding column of the partitioned
  table.  In other words, the same identity column across all
  partitions of a partitioned table share the same identity space.
  This is effected by sharing the same underlying sequence.

  When INSERTing directly into a partition, the sequence associated
  with the topmost partitioned table is used to calculate the value of
  the corresponding identity column.

  In regular inheritance, identity columns and their properties in a
  child table are independent of those in its parent tables.  A child
  table does not inherit identity columns or their properties
  automatically from the parent.  (This is unchanged.)

* Attached partition inherits identity column

  A table being attached as a partition inherits the identity property
  from the partitioned table.  This should be fine since we expect
  that the partition table's column has the same type as the
  partitioned table's corresponding column.  If the table being
  attached is a partitioned table, the identity properties are
  propagated down its partition hierarchy.

  An identity column in the partitioned table is also marked as NOT
  NULL.  The corresponding column in the partition needs to be marked
  as NOT NULL for the attach to succeed.

* Drop identity property when detaching partition

  A partition's identity column shares the identity space
  (i.e. underlying sequence) as the corresponding column of the
  partitioned table.  If a partition is detached it can longer share
  the identity space as before.  Hence the identity columns of the
  partition being detached loose their identity property.

  When identity of a column of a regular table is dropped it retains
  the NOT NULL constraint that came with the identity property.
  Similarly the columns of the partition being detached retain the NOT
  NULL constraints that came with identity property, even though the
  identity property itself is lost.

  The sequence associated with the identity property is linked to the
  partitioned table (and not the partition being detached).  That
  sequence is not dropped as part of detach operation.

* Partitions with their own identity columns are not allowed.

* The usual ALTER operations (add identity column, add identity
  property to existing column, alter properties of an indentity
  column, drop identity property) are supported for partitioned
  tables.  Changing a column only in a partitioned table or a
  partition is not allowed; the change needs to be applied to the
  whole partition hierarchy.

2024-01-14 07:46:01 +01:00
Peter Eisentraut 4f622503d6 Make attstattarget nullable
This changes the pg_attribute field attstattarget into a nullable
field in the variable-length part of the row.  If no value is set by
the user for attstattarget, it is now null instead of previously -1.
This saves space in pg_attribute and tuple descriptors for most
practical scenarios.  (ATTRIBUTE_FIXED_PART_SIZE is reduced from 108
to 104.)  Also, null is the semantically more correct value.

The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default
statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal
with null values.  But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code.
Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null.

For system columns, the field is now always null.  The ANALYZE code
skips system columns anyway.

To set a column's statistics target to the default value, the new
command form ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DEFAULT can be used.  (SET
STATISTICS -1 still works.)

Robert Haas ee1bfd1683 Add new pg_walsummary tool.
This can dump the contents of the WAL summary files found in
pg_wal/summaries. Normally, this shouldn't really be something anyone
needs to do, but it may be needed for debugging problems with
incremental backup, or could possibly be useful to external tools.

Joe Conway a7be2a6c26 Add new function, PQchangePassword(), to libpq
Essentially this moves the non-interactive part of psql's "\password"
command into an exported client function. The password is not sent to the
server in cleartext because it is "encrypted" (in the case of scram and md5
it is actually hashed, but we have called these encrypted passwords for a
long time now) on the client side. This is good because it ensures the
cleartext password is never known by the server, and therefore won't end up
in logs, pg_stat displays, etc.

In other words, it exists for the same reason as PQencryptPasswordConn(), but
is more convenient as it both builds and runs the "ALTER USER" command for
you. PQchangePassword() uses PQencryptPasswordConn() to do the password
encryption. PQencryptPasswordConn() is passed a NULL for the algorithm
argument, hence encryption is done according to the server's
password_encryption setting.

Also modify the psql client to use the new function. That provides a builtin
test case. Ultimately drivers built on top of libpq should expose this
function and its use should be generally encouraged over doing ALTER USER
directly for password changes.

Tatsuo Ishii d596736a49 Doc: fix character_sets view.
The note regarding character encoding form in "The Information Schema"
said that LATIN1 character repertoires only use one encoding form
LATIN1. This is not correct because LATIN1 has another encoding form
ISO-2022-JP-2. To fix this, replace LATIN1 with LATIN2, which is not
supported by ISO-2022-JP-2, thus it can be said that LATIN2 only uses
one encoding form.

Back-patch to supported branches.

Noah Misch d3c5f37dd5 Make dblink interruptible, via new libpqsrv APIs.
This replaces dblink's blocking libpq calls, allowing cancellation and
allowing DROP DATABASE (of a database not involved in the query).  Apart
from explicit dblink_cancel_query() calls, dblink still doesn't cancel
the remote side.  The replacement for the blocking calls consists of
new, general-purpose query execution wrappers in the libpqsrv facility.
Out-of-tree extensions should adopt these.  Use them in postgres_fdw,
replacing a local implementation from which the libpqsrv implementation
derives.  This is a bug fix for dblink.  Code inspection identified the
bug at least thirteen years ago, but user complaints have not appeared.
Hence, no back-patch for now.

Peter Eisentraut 5d06e99a3c ALTER TABLE command to change generation expression
This adds a new ALTER TABLE subcommand ALTER COLUMN ... SET EXPRESSION
that changes the generation expression of a generated column.

The syntax is not standard but was adapted from other SQL
implementations.

This command causes a table rewrite, using the usual ALTER TABLE
mechanisms.  The implementation is similar to and makes use of some of
the infrastructure of the SET DATA TYPE subcommand (for example,
rebuilding constraints and indexes afterwards).  The new command
requires a new pass in AlterTablePass, and the ADD COLUMN pass had to
be moved earlier so that combinations of ADD COLUMN and SET EXPRESSION
can work.

Amit Kapila 007693f2a3 Track conflict_reason in pg_replication_slots.
This patch changes the existing 'conflicting' field to 'conflict_reason'
in pg_replication_slots. This new field indicates the reason for the
logical slot's conflict with recovery. It is always NULL for physical
slots, as well as for logical slots which are not invalidated. The
non-NULL values indicate that the slot is marked as invalidated. Possible
values are:

wal_removed = required WAL has been removed.
rows_removed = required rows have been removed.
wal_level_insufficient = the primary doesn't have a wal_level sufficient
to perform logical decoding.

The existing users of 'conflicting' column can get the same answer by
using 'conflict_reason' IS NOT NULL.

Amit Kapila 9a17be1e24 Allow upgrades to preserve the full subscription's state.
This feature will allow us to replicate the changes on subscriber nodes
after the upgrade.

Previously, only the subscription metadata information was preserved.
Without the list of relations and their state, it's not possible to
re-enable the subscriptions without missing some records as the list of
relations can only be refreshed after enabling the subscription (and
therefore starting the apply worker).  Even if we added a way to refresh
the subscription while enabling a publication, we still wouldn't know
which relations are new on the publication side, and therefore should be
fully synced, and which shouldn't.

To preserve the subscription relations, this patch teaches pg_dump to
restore the content of pg_subscription_rel from the old cluster by using
binary_upgrade_add_sub_rel_state SQL function. This is supported only
in binary upgrade mode.

The subscription's replication origin is needed to ensure that we don't
replicate anything twice.

To preserve the replication origins, this patch teaches pg_dump to update
the replication origin along with creating a subscription by using
binary_upgrade_replorigin_advance SQL function to restore the
underlying replication origin remote LSN. This is supported only in
binary upgrade mode.

pg_upgrade will check that all the subscription relations are in 'i'
(init) or in 'r' (ready) state and will error out if that's not the case,
logging the reason for the failure. This helps to avoid the risk of any
dangling slot or origin after the upgrade.

Peter Eisentraut a740b213d4 Add GUC backtrace_on_internal_error
When enabled (default off), this logs a backtrace anytime elog() or an
equivalent ereport() for internal errors is called.

This is not well covered by the existing backtrace_functions, because
there are many equally-worded low-level errors in many functions.  And
if you find out where the error is, then you need to manually rewrite
the elog() to ereport() to attach the errbacktrace(), which is
annoying.  Having a backtrace automatically on every elog() call could
be very helpful during development for various kinds of common errors
from palloc, syscache, node support, etc.

Peter Eisentraut c538592959 Make all Perl warnings fatal
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation
and TAP tests.  Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings.  These
are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.

This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing

    use warnings;

by

    use warnings FATAL => 'all';

in all Perl files.
