This improves some error messages emitted by SQL/JSON query functions
by mentioning column name when available, such as when they are
invoked as part of evaluating JSON_TABLE() columns. To do so, a new
field column_name is added to both JsonFuncExpr and JsonExpr that is
only populated when creating those nodes for transformed JSON_TABLE()
columns.

This commit puts the handling of all the cases into

Commit b437571714 added support for parallel builds of BRIN indexes,
using code similar to BTREE. But there were to be a couple unnecessary
differences, particularly in how the leader waits for the workers, and
merges the results. So remove these, to make the code more similar.
The leader never waited on the workersdonecv condition variable, but
simply called WaitForParallelWorkersToFinish() in _brin_end_parallel()
and then merged the per-worker results. This worked correctly, but it
seems better to do the wait and merge before _brin_end_parallel().
This commit moves the relevant code to _brin_parallel_heapscan/merge(),
which means _brin_end_parallel() remains responsible only for exiting
the parallel mode and accumulating WAL usage data.

BumpContext relies on using the head block from its 'blocks' field to
use as the current block to allocate new chunks to. When we receive an
allocation request larger than allocChunkLimit, we place these chunks on
a new dedicated block and, until now, we pushed the block onto the
*head* of the 'blocks' list.
This behavior caused the previous bump block to no longer be available
for new normal-sized (non-large) allocations and would result in blocks
only being partially filled if a large allocation request arrived before
the block became full.
Here adjust the code to push these dedicated blocks onto the *tail* of
the blocks list so that the head block remains intact and available to
be used by normal allocation request sizes until it becomes full.
In passing, make the elog(ERROR) calls for the unsupported callbacks
consistent. Likewise for the header comments for those functions.

The code associated with EXEC SQL DEFINE was unreadable and full of
bugs, notably:
* It'd attempt to free a non-malloced string if the ecpg program
tries to redefine a macro that was defined on the command line.
* Possible memory stomp if user writes "-D=foo".
* Undef'ing or redefining a macro defined on the command line would
change the state visible to the next file, when multiple files are
specified on the command line. (While possibly that could have been
an intentional choice, the code clearly intends to revert to the
original macro state; it's just failing to consider this interaction.)
* Missing "break" in defining a new macro meant that redefinition
of an existing name would cause an extra entry to be added to the
definition list. While not immediately harmful, a subsequent undef
would result in the prior entry becoming visible again.
* The interactions with input buffering are subtle and were entirely
undocumented.
It's not that surprising that we hadn't noticed these bugs,
because there was no test coverage at all of either the -D
command line switch or multiple input files. This patch adds
such coverage (in a rather hacky way I guess).
In addition to the code bugs, the user documentation was confused
about whether the -D switch defines a C macro or an ecpg one, and
it failed to mention that you can write "-Dsymbol=value".

When building a join clause derived from an EquivalenceClass, if the
clause is to be used with an appendrel child relation then make sure
its clause_relids include the relids of that child relation.
Normally this would be true already because the EquivalenceMember
would be a Var of that relation. However, if the appendrel represents
a flattened UNION ALL construct then some child EquivalenceMembers
could be constants with no relids. The resulting under-marked clause
is problematic because it could mislead join_clause_is_movable_into
about where the clause should be evaluated. We do not have an example
showing incorrect plan generation, but there are existing cases in
the regression tests that will fail the Asserts this patch adds to
get_baserel_parampathinfo. A similarly wrong conclusion about a
clause being considered by get_joinrel_parampathinfo would lead to
wrong placement of the clause. (This also squares with the way
that clause_relids is calculated for non-equijoin clauses in
adjust_appendrel_attrs.)
The other reason for wanting these new Asserts is that the previous
blithe assumption that the results of generate_join_implied_equalities
"necessarily satisfy join_clause_is_movable_into" turns out to be
wrong pre-v16. If it's still wrong it'd be good to find out.

Commit 2ed8f9a01 intended to institute a policy that if a
RangeTblFunction has a coldeflist, then the function return type is
certainly RECORD, and we should use the coldeflist as the source of
truth about what the columns of the record type are. When the
original function has been folded to a constant, inspection of the
constant might give a different answer. This situation will lead to
a tuple-type-mismatch error at execution, but up until that point we
need to consistently believe the coldeflist, or we'll have problems
from different bits of code reaching different conclusions.
expandRTE didn't get that memo though, and would try to produce a
tupdesc based on the constant in this situation, leading to an
assertion failure. (Desultory testing suggests that non-assert
builds often manage to give the expected error, although I also
saw a "cache lookup failed for type 0" error, and it seems at
least possible that a crash could happen.)
Some other callers of get_expr_result_type and get_expr_result_tupdesc
were also being incautious about this. While none of them seem to
have actual bugs, they're working harder than necessary in this case,
besides which it seems safest to have an explicit policy of not using
those functions on an RTE with a coldeflist. Adjust the code
accordingly, and add commentary to funcapi.c about this policy.
Also fix an obsolete comment that claimed "get_expr_result_type()
doesn't know how to extract type info from a RECORD constant".

In one of the many strange corner cases of multiple inheritance being
used, commit b0e96f3119 missed a CommandCounterIncrement() call after
updating the attnotnull flag during ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN, which caused
a catalog tuple to be update attempted twice in the same command, giving
rise to a "tuple already updated by self" error. Add the missing call
to solve that, and a test case that reproduces the scenario.
As a (perhaps surprising) secondary effect, this CCI addition triggers
another behavior change: when a primary key is added to a parent
partitioned table and the column in an existing partition does not have
a not-null constraint, we no longer error out. This will probably be a
welcome change by some users, and I think it's unlikely that anybody
will miss the old behavior.

\dD showed domain check constraints in arbitrary order, which can
cause regression test failures, which was exposed by commit
9895b35cb8. To fix, order the constraints by conname, which matches
what psql does in other queries listing constraints.
This addresses a few problems with commit e5da0fe3c2 ("Catalog domain
not-null constraints").
In CREATE DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
CREATE DOMAIN d1 AS int [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(Before e5da0fe3c2, the constraint name was accepted but ignored.)
But in ALTER DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL VALUE
where VALUE is where for a table constraint the column name would be.
(This works as of e5da0fe3c2. Before e5da0fe3c2, this syntax
resulted in an internal error.)
But for domains, this latter syntax is confusing and needlessly
inconsistent between CREATE and ALTER. So this changes it to just
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(None of these syntaxes are per SQL standard; we are just living with
the bits of inconsistency that have built up over time.)
In passing, this also changes the psql \dD output to not show not-null
constraints in the column "Check", since it's already shown in the
column "Nullable". This has also been off since e5da0fe3c2.

Coverity pointed out that the function checks for conn->sslmode !=
NULL, which implies that it might be NULL, but later we access it
without a NULL-check anyway. It doesn't know that it is in fact always
initialized earlier, in conninfo_add_defaults(), and hence the
NULL-check is not necessary. However, there is a lot of distance
between conninfo_add_defaults() and pqConnectOptions2(), so it's not
surprising that it doesn't see that. Put back the initialization code,
as it existed before commit 05fd30c0e7, to silence the warning.
In the long run, I'd like to refactor the libpq options handling and
initalization code. It seems silly to strdup() and copy strings, for
things like sslmode that have a limited set of possible values; it
should be an enum. But that's for another day.
Commit 10e3226ba1 added padding to incremental backups to ensure the
block data is properly aligned. The code in sendFile() however failed to
consider that the header may be a multiple of BLCKSZ and thus already
aligned, adding a full BLCKSZ of unnecessary padding.
Not only does this make the incremental file a bit larger, but the other
places calculating the amount of padding did realize it's not needed and
did not include it in the formula. This resulted in pg_basebackup
getting confused while parsing the data stream, trying to access files
with invalid filenames (e.g. with binary data etc.) and failing.
Commit 6bcda4a721 replaced PG_DETOAST_DATUM with PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED
in two BRIN output functions, for minmax-multi and bloom opclasses. But
this is incorrect - the code is accessing the data through structs that
already include a 4B header, so the detoast needs to match that. But the
PACKED macro may keep the 1B header, which means the struct fields will
point to incorrect data.

GetPageWithFreeSpace() callers assume the returned block exists in the
main fork, failing with "could not read block" errors if that doesn't
hold. Make that assumption reliable now. It hadn't been guaranteed,
due to the weak WAL and data ordering of participating components. Most
operations on the fsm fork are not WAL-logged. Relation extension is
not WAL-logged. Hence, an fsm-fork block on disk can reference a
main-fork block that no WAL record has initialized. That could happen
after an OS crash, a replica promote, or a PITR restore. wal_log_hints
makes the trouble easier to hit; a replica promote or PITR ending just
after a relevant fsm-fork FPI_FOR_HINT may yield this broken state. The
v16 RelationAddBlocks() mechanism also makes the trouble easier to hit,
since it bulk-extends even without extension lock waiters. Commit
917dc7d239 stopped trouble around
truncation, but vectors involving PageIsNew() pages remained.
This implementation adds a RelationGetNumberOfBlocks() call when the
cached relation size doesn't confirm a block exists. We've been unable
to identify a benchmark that slows materially, but this may show up as
additional time in lseek(). An alternative without that overhead would
be a new ReadBufferMode such that ReadBufferExtended() returns NULL
after a 0-byte read, with all other errors handled normally. However,
each GetFreeIndexPage() caller would then need code for the return-NULL
case. Back-patch to v14, due to earlier versions not caching relation
size and the absence of a pre-v16 problem report.

Ensure that when updating the catalog_xmin of the synced slots, it is
first written to disk before changing the in-memory value
(effective_catalog_xmin). This is to prevent a scenario where the
in-memory value change triggers a vacuum to remove catalog tuples before
the catalog_xmin is written to disk. In the event of a crash before the
catalog_xmin is persisted, we would not know that some required catalog
tuples have been removed and the synced slot would be invalidated.
Change the sanity check to ensure that remote_slot's confirmed_flush LSN
can't precede the local/synced slot during slot sync. Note that the
restart_lsn of the synced/local slot can be ahead of remote_slot. This can
happen when slot advancing machinery finds a running xacts record after
reaching the consistent state at a later point than the primary where it
serializes the snapshot and updates the restart_lsn.
Make the check to sync slots robust by allowing to sync only when the
confirmed_lsn, restart_lsn, or catalog_xmin of the remote slot is ahead of
the synced/local slot.

b262ad440 added code to have the planner remove redundant IS NOT NULL
quals and eliminate needless scans for IS NULL quals on tables where the
qual's column has a NOT NULL constraint.
That commit failed to consider that an inheritance parent table could
have differing NOT NULL constraints between the parent and the child.
This caused issues as if we eliminated a qual on the parent, when
applying the quals to child tables in apply_child_basequals(), the qual
might not have been added to the parent's baserestrictinfo.
Here we fix this by not applying the optimization to remove redundant
quals to RelOptInfos belonging to inheritance parents and applying the
optimization again in apply_child_basequals(). Effectively, this means
that the parent and child are considered independently as the parent has
both an inh=true and inh=false RTE and we still apply the optimization
to the RelOptInfo corresponding to the inh=false RTE.
We're able to still apply the optimization in add_base_clause_to_rel()
for partitioned tables as the NULLability of partitions must match that
of their parent. And, if we ever expand restriction_is_always_false()
and restriction_is_always_true() to handle partition constraints then we
can apply the same logic as, even in multi-level partitioned tables,
there's no way to route values to a partition when the qual does not
match the partition qual of the partitioned table's parent partition.
The same is true for CHECK constraints as those must also match between
arent partitioned tables and their partitions.

aa5edbe379 has tweaked _hash_freeovflpage() so as the write buffer's
LSN is updated only when necessary, when REGBUF_NO_CHANGE is not used.
The replay code was not consistent with that, causing the write buffer's
LSN to be updated and its page to be marked as dirty even if the buffer
was registered in a "clean" state. This was possible for the case of a
squeeze record when there are no tuples to add to the write buffer, for
(is_prim_bucket_same_wrt && !is_prev_bucket_same_wrt).
I have performed some validation of this commit with
wal_consistency_checking and a change in WAL that logs REGBUF_NO_CHANGE
to a new BKPIMAGE_*. Thanks to that, it is possible to know at replay
if a buffer was clean when it was registered, then cross-checked the LSN
of the "clean" page copy coming from WAL with the LSN of the block once
the record has been replayed. This eats one bit in bimg_info, which is
not acceptable to be integrated as-is, but it could become handy in the

Up to now, read_sql_construct() has collected all the source text from
the statement or expression's initial token up to the character just
before the "until" token. It normally tries to strip trailing
whitespace from that, largely for neatness. If there was a "-- text"
comment after the expression, this resulted in removing the newline
that terminates the comment, which creates a hazard if we try to paste
the collected text into a larger SQL construct without inserting a
newline after it. In particular this caused our handling of CASE
constructs to fail if there's a comment after a WHEN expression.
Commit 4adead1d2 noticed a similar problem with cursor arguments,
and worked around it through the rather crude hack of suppressing
the whitespace-trimming behavior for those. Rather than do that
and leave the hazard open for future hackers to trip over, let's
fix it properly. pl_scanner.c already has enough infrastructure

The bump allocator was recently added in 29f6a959c. Our other
allocators have a similar macro to this, but seemingly the version of
the macro for those allocators is only used in places where the chunk
header is decoded. Since the bump allocator has no chunk header, none
of those functions exist for bump therefore macro is unused. Remove it.

This is a C11 feature, and we require C99. While at it, go the further
step and get rid of the surrounding union (with uintptr_t) entirely,
as there is currently no use case for this file to access the header of
BlocktableEntry as a uintptr_t, and there are no additional alignment
requirements. The least invasive way seems to be to transfer the old

The module relies on a shmem exit callback to clean up any injection
points linked to a specific process. One of the tests checks for the
case of an injection point name reused in a second connection where the
first connection should clean it up, but it did not count for the fact
that the shmem exit callback of the first connection may not have run
when the second connection begins its work.
The regress library includes a wait_pid() that can be used for this
purpose, instead of a custom wait logic, so let's rely on it to wait for
the first connection to exit before working with the second connection.
The module gains a REGRESS_OPTS to be able to look at the regress
library's dlpath.
This issue could be reproduced with a hardcoded sleep() in the shmem
exit callback, and the CI has been able to trigger it sporadically.

After a query cancel, the tail end of ExecQueryAndProcessResults
took care to clear any not-yet-read PGresults; but it forgot about
the one it has already read. There would only be such a result
when handling a multi-command string made with "\;", so that you'd
have to cancel an earlier command in such a string to reach the
bug at all. Even then, there would only be leakage of a single
PGresult per cancel, so it's not surprising nobody noticed this.
But a leak is a leak.

it dates to 7844c9918. Back-patch to v15 where that came in.
Alexander Lakhin noted an obsolete comment, which led me to revisit
some other important comments in the patch, and that study turned up a
couple of unintended ways in which the chunked-fetch code path didn't
match the normal code path in ExecQueryAndProcessResults. The only
nontrivial problem is that it didn't call PrintQueryStatus, so that
we'd not print the final status result from DML ... RETURNING
commands. To avoid code duplication, move the filter for whether a
result is from RETURNING from PrintQueryResult to PrintQueryStatus.

Previously, the decision to store values in leaves or within the child
pointer was made at compile time, with variable length values using
leaves by necessity. This commit allows introspecting the length of
variable length values at runtime for that decision. This requires
the ability to tell whether the last-level child pointer is actually
a value, so we use a pointer tag in the lowest level bit.
Use this in TID store. This entails adding a byte to the header to
reserve space for the tag. Commit f35bd9bf3 stores up to three offsets
within the header with no bitmap, and now the header can be embedded
as above. This reduces worst-case memory usage when TIDs are sparse.

It is possible that even if the primary waits for the subscriber to catch

This can move the restart_lsn of the corresponding slot in an

To ensure predictable behaviour, we drop the subscription and manually
create the slot before the test. The other idea we discussed to write a

A NESTED path allows to extract data from nested levels of JSON

columns specified using a nested COLUMNS clause, just like the parent
COLUMNS clause. Rows comprised from a NESTED columns are "joined"
to the row comprised from the parent columns. If a particular NESTED

making it an OUTER join.
NESTED columns themselves may include NESTED paths to allow
extracting data from arbitrary nesting levels, which are likewise
joined against the rows at the parent level.
Multiple NESTED paths at a given level are called "sibling" paths
and their rows are combined by UNIONing them, that is, after being
joined against the parent row as described above.

When testing buffer pool logic, it is useful to be able to evict

- Allow tests with injection points to run concurrently with other test

The new "log_connection_negotiation" server option causes the server
to print messages to the log when it receives a SSLRequest or

it gives a trace of how a connection and encryption is

This revealed a couple of cases where libpq retries encryption or

immediately disconnect if the credentials were not available. The

I'm about to add more detail to the tests for encryption negotiation.
This makes the case of gssencmode=require but no credentials

This tracks the position of WAL that's been fully copied into WAL
buffers by all processes emitting WAL. (For some reason we call that
"WAL insertion"). This is updated using atomic monotonic advance during
WaitXLogInsertionsToFinish, which is not when the insertions actually
occur, but it's the only place where we know where have all the
insertions have completed.
This value is useful in WALReadFromBuffers, which can verify that
callers don't try to read past what has been inserted. (However, more
infrastructure is needed in order to actually use WAL after the flush
point, since it could be lost.)
The value is also useful in WaitXLogInsertionsToFinish() itself, since
we can now exit quickly when all WAL has been already inserted, without
even having to take any locks.
This introduces a bump MemoryContext type. The bump context is best
suited for short-lived memory contexts which require only allocations
of memory and never a pfree or repalloc, which are unsupported.
Memory palloc'd into a bump context has no chunk header. This makes
bump a useful context type when lots of small allocations need to be
done without any need to pfree those allocations. Allocation sizes are
rounded up to the next MAXALIGN boundary, so with this and no chunk
header, allocations are very compact indeed.
Allocations are also very fast as bump does not check any freelists to
try and make use of previously free'd chunks. It just checks if there
is enough room on the current block, and if so it bumps the freeptr
beyond this chunk and returns the value that the freeptr was previously
pointing to. Simple and fast. A new block is malloc'd when there's not
enough space in the current block.
Code using the bump allocator must take care never to call any functions
which could try to call realloc() (or variants), pfree(),
GetMemoryChunkContext() or GetMemoryChunkSpace() on a bump allocated
chunk. Due to lack of chunk headers, these operations are unsupported.
To increase the chances of catching such issues, when compiled with
MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING, bump allocated chunks are given a header and
any attempt to perform an unsupported operation will result in an ERROR.
Without MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING, code attempting an unsupported
operation could result in a segfault.
A follow-on commit will implement the first user of bump.

Until now, when calling pq_putmessage to write new data to a libpq
socket, all writes are copied into a buffer and that buffer gets flushed
when full to avoid having to perform small writes to the socket.
There are cases where we must write large amounts of data to the socket,
sometimes larger than the size of the buffer. In this case, it's
wasteful to memcpy this data into the buffer and flush it out, instead,
we can send it directly from the memory location that the data is already
stored in.
Here we adjust internal_putbytes() so that after having just flushed the
buffer to the socket, if the remaining bytes to send is as big or bigger
than the buffer size, we just send directly rather than needlessly
copying into the PqSendBuffer buffer first.
Examples of operations that write large amounts of data in one message
are; outputting large tuples with SELECT or COPY TO STDOUT and

Presently, pg_popcount() processes data in 32-bit or 64-bit chunks
when possible. Newer hardware that supports AVX-512 instructions
can use 512-bit chunks, which provides a nice speedup, especially
for larger buffers. This commit introduces the infrastructure
required to detect compiler and CPU support for the required
AVX-512 intrinsic functions, and it adds a new pg_popcount()
implementation that uses these functions. If CPU support for this
optimized implementation is detected at runtime, a function pointer
is updated so that it is used by subsequent calls to pg_popcount().
Most of the existing in-tree calls to pg_popcount() should benefit
from these instructions, and calls with smaller buffers should at
least not regress compared to v16. The new infrastructure
introduced by this commit can also be used to optimize
visibilitymap_count(), but that is left for a follow-up commit.

When we determine that a wanted block can't be combined with the current
pending read, it's time to start that read to get it out of the way. An
"if" in that code path should have been a "while", because it might take
more than one go in case of partial reads. This was only broken for
smaller ranges, as the more common case of io_combine_limit-sized ranges
is handled earlier in the code and knows how to loop, hiding the bug for
a while.
Discovered while testing large parallel sequential scans of partially
cached tables. The ramp-up-and-down block allocator for parallel scans
could hit the problem case and skip some blocks near the end that should
have been streamed.

The buildfarm members using debug_parallel_query = regress are mostly
unhappy with this test. I guess what is happening is that rows
generated by a parallel worker are buffered, and might or might not
get to the leader before the expected error occurs. We did not see
any variability in the old version of this test because each FETCH
would succeed or fail atomically, leading to a predictable number of
rows emitted before failure. I don't find this to be a bug, just
unspecified behavior, so let's disable parallel query for this one
test case to make the results stable.
Formerly this was done with a cursor, which is problematic since
not all result-set-returning query types can be put into a cursor.
The new implementation is better integrated into other psql
features, too.

This patch generalizes libpq's existing single-row mode to allow
individual partial-result PGresults to contain up to N rows, rather
than always one row. This reduces malloc overhead compared to plain
single-row mode, and it is very useful for psql's FETCH_COUNT feature,
since otherwise we'd have to add code (and cycles) to either merge
single-row PGresults into a bigger one or teach psql's
results-printing logic to accept arrays of PGresults.
To avoid API breakage, PQsetSingleRowMode() remains the same, and we
add a new function PQsetChunkedRowsMode() to invoke the more general
case. Also, PGresults obtained the old way continue to carry the
PGRES_SINGLE_TUPLE status code, while if PQsetChunkedRowsMode() is
used then their status code is PGRES_TUPLES_CHUNK. The underlying
logic is the same either way, though.

As of 7c70996ebf, BitmapPrefetch() used the recheck flag for
the current block to determine whether or not it should skip prefetching
the proposed prefetch block. As explained in the comment, this assumed
the index AM will report the same recheck value for the future page as
it did for the current page - but there's no guarantee.
This only affects prefetching - if the recheck flag changes, we may
prefetch blocks unecessarily and not prefetch blocks that will be
needed. But we don't need to rely on that assumption - we know the
recheck flag for the block we're considering prefetching, so we can
use that.
The impact is very limited in practice - the opclass would need to
assign different recheck flags to different blocks, but none of the
built-in opclasses seems to do that.

Commit 7c70996ebf introduced an optimization to allow bitmap
scans to operate like index-only scans by not fetching a block from the
heap if none of the underlying data is needed and the block is marked
all visible in the visibility map.
With the introduction of table AMs, a FIXME was added to this code
indicating that the skip_fetch logic should be pushed into the table
AM-specific code, as not all table AMs may use a visibility map in the
same way.
This commit resolves this FIXME for the current block. The layering
violation is still present in BitmapHeapScans's prefetching code, which
uses the visibility map to decide whether or not to prefetch a block.

Commit 9e8da0f7 taught nbtree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals
natively. This works by pushing down the full context (the array keys)
to the nbtree index AM, enabling it to execute multiple primitive index
scans that the planner treats as one continuous index scan/index path.
This earlier enhancement enabled nbtree ScalarArrayOp index-only scans.
It also allowed scans with ScalarArrayOp quals to return ordered results
(with some notable restrictions, described further down).
Take this general approach a lot further: teach nbtree SAOP index scans
to decide how to execute ScalarArrayOp scans (when and where to start
the next primitive index scan) based on physical index characteristics.
This can be far more efficient. All SAOP scans will now reliably avoid
duplicative leaf page accesses (just like any other nbtree index scan).
SAOP scans whose array keys are naturally clustered together now require
far fewer index descents, since we'll reliably avoid starting a new
primitive scan just to get to a later offset from the same leaf page.
The scan's arrays now advance using binary searches for the array
element that best matches the next tuple's attribute value. Required
scan key arrays (i.e. arrays from scan keys that can terminate the scan)
ratchet forward in lockstep with the index scan. Non-required arrays
(i.e. arrays from scan keys that can only exclude non-matching tuples)
"advance" without the process ever rolling over to a higher-order array.
Naturally, only required SAOP scan keys trigger skipping over leaf pages
(non-required arrays cannot safely end or start primitive index scans).
Consequently, even index scans of a composite index with a high-order
inequality scan key (which we'll mark required) and a low-order SAOP
scan key (which we won't mark required) now avoid repeating leaf page
accesses -- that benefit isn't limited to simpler equality-only cases.
In general, all nbtree index scans now output tuples as if they were one
continuous index scan -- even scans that mix a high-order inequality
with lower-order SAOP equalities reliably output tuples in index order.
This allows us to remove a couple of special cases that were applied
when building index paths with SAOP clauses during planning.
Bugfix commit 807a40c5 taught the planner to avoid generating unsafe
path keys: path keys on a multicolumn index path, with a SAOP clause on
any attribute beyond the first/most significant attribute. These cases
are now all safe, so we go back to generating path keys without regard
for the presence of SAOP clauses (just like with any other clause type).
Affected queries can now exploit scan output order in all the usual ways
(e.g., certain "ORDER BY ... LIMIT n" queries can now terminate early).
Also undo changes from follow-up bugfix commit a4523c5a, which taught
the planner to produce alternative index paths, with path keys, but
without low-order SAOP index quals (filter quals were used instead).
We'll no longer generate these alternative paths, since they can no
longer offer any meaningful advantages over standard index qual paths.
Affected queries thereby avoid all of the disadvantages that come from
using filter quals within index scan nodes. They can avoid extra heap
page accesses from using filter quals to exclude non-matching tuples
(index quals will never have that problem). They can also skip over
irrelevant sections of the index in more cases (though only when nbtree
determines that starting another primitive scan actually makes sense).
There is a theoretical risk that removing restrictions on SAOP index
paths from the planner will break compatibility with amcanorder-based
index AMs maintained as extensions. Such an index AM could have the
same limitations around ordered SAOP scans as nbtree had up until now.
Adding a pro forma incompatibility item about the issue to the Postgres
17 release notes seems like a good idea.

After encountering the NUL terminator, the word-at-a-time loop exits
and we must hash the remaining bytes. Previously we calculated
the terminator's position and re-loaded the remaining bytes from
the input string. This was slower than the unaligned case for very
short strings. We already have all the data we need in a register,
so let's just mask off the bytes we need and hash them immediately.
In addition to endianness issues, the previous attempt upset valgrind
in the way it computed the mask. Whether by accident or by wisdom,
the author's proposed method passes locally with valgrind 3.22.

The BAS_VACUUM ring size has been 256kB since commit d526575f introduced
the mechanism 17 years ago. Commit 1cbbee03 recently made it
configurable but retained the traditional default. The correct default
size has been debated for years, but 256kB is certainly very small.
VACUUM soon needs to write back data it dirtied only 32 blocks ago,
which usually requires flushing the WAL. New experiments in prefetching
pages for VACUUM exacerbated the problem by crashing into dirty data
even sooner. Let's make the default 2MB. That's 1.6% of the default

This commit allows using copy_file_range() for efficient combining of

Depending on the filesystem and other factors (size of the increment,
distribution of modified blocks etc.) this may be faster than the
block-by-block copy, but more importantly it enables various features
provided by CoW filesystems.
If a checksum needs to be calculated for the file, the same strategy as
when copying whole files is used - copy_file_range is used to copy the
blocks, but the file is also read for the checksum calculation.
While the checksum calculation is rarely needed when cloning whole
files, when reconstructing the files from multiple backups it needs to
happen almost always (the only exception is when the user specified
--no-manifest).

copying files using file cloning or copy_file_range(). These methods may
be faster than the standard block-by-block copy, but the main advantage
is that they enable various features provided by CoW filesystems.
This commit only uses these copy methods for files that did not change

These new copy methods may not be available on all platforms, in which
case the command throws an error (immediately, even if no files would be
copied as a whole). This early failure seems better than failing later
when trying to copy the first file, after performing a lot of work on
earlier files.
If the requested copy method is available, but a checksum needs to be
recalculated (e.g. because of a different checksum type), the file is
still copied using the requested method, but it is also read for the
checksum calculation. Depending on the filesystem this may be more
expensive than just performing the simple copy, but it does enable the

Buildfarm member caiman is showing this, which surprises me because
it's very late-model gcc (14.0.1) and ought to be smart enough to
know that elog(ERROR) doesn't return. But we're likely to see the
same from stupider compilers too, so add a dummy initialization in
our usual style.
Align blocks stored in incremental files to BLCKSZ, so that the
incremental backups work well with CoW filesystems.
The header of the incremental file is padded with \0 to a multiple of
BLCKSZ, so that the block data (also BLCKSZ) is aligned to BLCKSZ. The
padding is added only to files containing block data, so files with just
the header remain small. This adds a bit of extra space, but as the
number of blocks increases the overhead gets negligible very quickly.
And as the padding is \0 bytes, it does compress extremely well.
The alignment is important for CoW filesystems that usually require the
blocks to be aligned to filesystem page size for features like block
sharing, deduplication etc. to work well. With the variable sized header
the blocks in the increments were not aligned at all, negating the
benefits of the CoW filesystems.
This matters even for non-CoW filesystems, for example when placed on a
RAID array. If the block is not aligned, it may easily span multiple
devices, causing read and write amplification.
It might be better to align the blocks to the filesystem page, not
BLCKSZ, but we have no good way to determine that. Even if we determine
the page size at the time of taking the backup, the backup may move. For
now the BLCKSZ seems sufficient - the filesystem page is usually 4K, so
the default BLCKSZ (8K by default) is aligned to that.

The current design behind the automatic generation of the C code and
documentation related to wait events introduced in fa88928470 does not
offer a way to attach new wait events without breaking ABI
compatibility, as all the events are forcibly reordered for each section
in the input file wait_event_names.txt. Adding new wait events to
stable branches is something that has happened in the past, 0b6517a3b7
being a recent example of that with VERSION_FILE_SYNC, so we need a way
to generate any C code for wait events while maintaining compatibility
on stable branches already released.
This commit solves this issue by adding a new region called
"ABI_compatibility" (keyword could be updated to something else if
someone had a better idea) to each section of wait_event_names.txt, so
as one can add new wait events to stable branches in
wait_event_names.txt while keeping the code ABI-compatible.
"ABI_compatibility" has no impact on the documentation generated: all
the wait events of one section are still alphabetically ordered. LWLock
and Lock sections generate their C code elsewhere, so they do not need
an "ABI_compatibility" region.
For example, let's imagine a wait_event_names.txt like that:
Section: ClassName - Foo
FOO_1 "Waiting in Foo 1"
FOO_2 "Waiting in Foo 2"
ABI_compatibility:
NEW_FOO_1 "Waiting in New Foo 1"
NEW_BAR_1 "Waiting in New Bar 1"
This results in the following enum, where the events in the ABI region
are listed last with the same ordering as in wait_event_names.txt:
typedef enum
{
WAIT_EVENT_FOO_1,
WAIT_EVENT_FOO_2,
WAIT_EVENT_NEW_FOO_1,
WAIT_EVENT_NEW_BAR_1
} WaitEventFoo;
New wait events added in stable branches should be added at the end of
each ABI_compatibility region, and ABI_compatibility should remain empty
on HEAD and unreleased stable branches.
This design has been suggested by Noah Misch and me.

a hack dating to 2008 to suppress the warning in one rule that
doesn't even exist anymore, but nothing for other cases we've created
since then. End result was that you could get "unsupported feature
will be passed to server" warnings while compiling perfectly good SQL
code in ecpg. Somehow we'd not heard complaints about this, but
it was exposed by the recent addition of an ecpg test for a SQL/JSON
construct.
To fix, suppress the warning if the rule contains any "if" statement.
Manual comparison of gram.y with the generated preproc.y file shows
that the warning is now emitted only in rules where it's sensible.
This problem has existed for a long time, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

The link commands in test_json_parser/Makefile were a long way
shy of a load, as evidenced by buildfarm failures. Model them
on pgxs.mk's PROGRAM rule. (Probably we should have put these
two test programs in different subdirectories so we could
actually use the PROGRAM rule. But I won't question that
decision today.)
Add overlooked .gitignore entries.
Fix test_json_parser/Makefile to use the pgxs.mk clean rule

at least for me.
JSON_TABLE() allows JSON data to be converted into a relational view
and thus used, for example, in a FROM clause, like other tabular
data. Data to show in the view is selected from a source JSON object
using a JSON path expression to get a sequence of JSON objects that's
called a "row pattern", which becomes the source to compute the
SQL/JSON values that populate the view's output columns. Column
values themselves are computed using JSON path expressions applied to
each of the JSON objects comprising the "row pattern", for which the
SQL/JSON query functions added in 6185c9737c are used.
To implement JSON_TABLE() as a table function, this augments the
TableFunc and TableFuncScanState nodes that are currently used to
support XMLTABLE() with some JSON_TABLE()-specific fields.
Note that the JSON_TABLE() spec includes NESTED COLUMNS and PLAN
clauses, which are required to provide more flexibility to extract
data out of nested JSON objects, but they are not implemented here
to keep this commit of manageable size.

This changes the three callers to json_parse_manifest() to use
json_parse_manifest_incremental_chunk() if appropriate. In the case of
the backend caller, since we don't know the size of the manifest in

This adds the infrastructure for using the new non-recursive JSON parser

This parser uses an explicit prediction stack, unlike the present
recursive descent parser where the parser state is represented on the
call stack. This difference makes the new parser suitable for use in
incremental parsing of huge JSON documents that cannot be conveniently
handled piece-wise by the recursive descent parser. One potential use
for this will be in parsing large backup manifests associated with
incremental backups.
Because this parser is somewhat slower than the recursive descent
parser, it is not replacing that parser, but is an additional parser
available to callers.
For testing purposes, if the build is done with -DFORCE_JSON_PSTACK, all
JSON parsing is done with the non-recursive parser, in which case only
trivial regression differences in error messages should be observed.

This would cause the timestamp values used by emit_log_hook and all the
other log destinations to differ, because the timestamps are reset
before sending the logs to the server and after calling the hook.
This change matters for emit_log_hook when generating log information
with 'n' or 'm' in log_line_prefix through log_status_format(), or when
doing direct calls to get_formatted_log_time() like in the JSON or CSV
log formats.
While on it, this commit fixes a couple of comments related to the

To allow the use of the read stream API added in b5a9b18cd for
sequential scans on heap tables, here we make some adjustments to make
that change less invasive and perhaps make the code easier to follow in
the process.
Here heapgetpage() gets broken into two functions:
1) The part which reads the block has now been moved into a function
named heapfetchbuf().
2) The part which performed pruning and populated the scan's
rs_vistuples[] array is now moved into a new function named
heap_prepare_pagescan().
The functionality provided by heap_prepare_pagescan() was only ever
required by SO_ALLOW_PAGEMODE scans, so the branching that was
previously done in heapgetpage() is no longer needed as we simply just
don't call heap_prepare_pagescan() from heapgettup() in the refactored
code.

emit_tap_output_v() includes some fprintf() calls for some output
related to the TAP protocol, that may clobber errno and break %m. This
commit makes the logging of pg_regress smarter by saving errno before
restoring it in vfprintf() where the input strings are used, removing
the need for strerror(). All logs are switched to %m rather than
strerror(), shaving some code.
This was not a problem until now as pg_regress.c did not use %m, but the
change is simple enough that we have no reason to not support this
placeholder, and that will avoid future mistakes if new logs that
include %m are added.

EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, SERIALIZE) allows collection of statistics about
the volume of data emitted by a query, as well as the time taken
to convert the data to the on-the-wire format. Previously there
was no way to investigate this without actually sending the data
to the client, in which case network transmission costs might
swamp what you wanted to see. In particular this feature allows
investigating the costs of de-TOASTing compressed or out-of-line

After this change we have XLogCtl->logWriteResult and ->logFlushResult.
There's no functional change, other than the fact that the assignment
from shared memory to local is no longer done via struct assignment, but
instead using a macro that copies each member separately.
The current representation is inconvenient going forward; notably, we
would like to add a new member "Copy" (to keep track of the last
position copied into WAL buffers), so the symmetry between the values in
shared memory vs. those in local would be lost.
This also gives us freedom to later change the concurrency model for the
values in shared memory: we can make them use atomics instead of relying
on the info_lck spinlock.

overhead because the optimized versions are likely to be faster.

Execute both freezing and pruning of tuples in the same
heap_page_prune() function, now called heap_page_prune_and_freeze(),
and emit a single WAL record containing all changes. That reduces the
overall amount of WAL generated.
This moves the freezing logic from vacuumlazy.c to the
heap_page_prune_and_freeze() function. The main difference in the
coding is that in vacuumlazy.c, we looked at the tuples after the
pruning had already happened, but in heap_page_prune_and_freeze() we
operate on the tuples before pruning. The heap_prepare_freeze_tuple()
function is now invoked after we have determined that a tuple is not
going to be pruned away.
VACUUM no longer needs to loop through the items on the page after
pruning. heap_page_prune_and_freeze() does all the work. It now
returns the list of dead offsets, including existing LP_DEAD items, to
the caller. Similarly it's now responsible for tracking 'all_visible',
'all_frozen', and 'hastup' on the caller's behalf.

We were directly copying the LSN locations while syncing the slots on the
standby. Now, it is possible that at some particular restart_lsn there are
some running xacts, which means if we start reading the WAL from that
location after promotion, we won't reach a consistent snapshot state at
that point. However, on the primary, we would have already been in a
consistent snapshot state at that restart_lsn so we would have just
serialized the existing snapshot.
To avoid this problem we will use the advance_slot functionality unless
the snapshot already exists at the synced restart_lsn location. This will
help us to ensure that snapbuilder/slot statuses are updated properly
without generating any changes. Note that the synced slot will remain as
RS_TEMPORARY till the decoding from corresponding restart_lsn can reach a
consistent snapshot state after which they will be marked as
RS_PERSISTENT.

Presently, the archiver process restarts when an archive callback
ERRORs. To avoid this, archive module authors can use sigsetjmp(),
manage a memory context, etc., but that requires a lot of extra
code that will likely look roughly the same between modules. This
commit adds basic archive callback ERROR handling to pgarch.c so
that module authors won't ordinarily need to worry about this.
While this built-in handler attempts to clean up anything that an
archive module could conceivably have left behind, it is possible
that some modules are doing unexpected things that require
additional cleanup. Module authors should be sure to do any extra
required cleanup in a PG_CATCH block within the archiving callback.
The archiving callback is now called in a short-lived memory
context that the archiver process resets between invocations. If a
module requires longer-lived storage, it must maintain its own
memory context.
Thanks to these changes, the basic_archive module can be greatly
simplified.

Previously, when selecting the transaction to evict during logical
decoding, we check all transactions to find the largest
transaction. This could lead to a significant replication lag
especially in the case where there are many subtransactions.
This commit improves the eviction algorithm in ReorderBuffer using the
max-heap with transaction size as the key to efficiently find the
largest transaction.
The max-heap starts with empty. While the max-heap is empty, we don't
do anything for the max-heap when updating the memory
counter. Therefore, we get the largest transaction in O(N) time, where
N is the number of transactions including top-level transactions and
subtransactions.
We build the max-heap just before selecting the largest transactions
if the number of transactions being decoded is higher than the
threshold, MAX_HEAP_TXN_COUNT_THRESHOLD. After building the max-heap,
we also update the max-heap when updating the memory counter. The
intention is to efficiently find the largest transaction in O(1) time
instead of incurring the cost of memory counter updates (O(log
N)). Once the number of transactions got lower than the threshold, we
reset the max-heap.
The performance benchmark results showed significant speed up (more
than x30 speed up on my machine) in decoding a transaction with 100k
subtransactions, whereas there is no visible overhead in other cases.

Previously, binaryheap didn't support updating a key and removing a
node in an efficient way. For example, in order to remove a node from
the binaryheap, the caller had to pass the node's position within the
array that the binaryheap internally has. Removing a node from the
binaryheap is done in O(log n) but searching for the key's position is
done in O(n).
This commit adds a hash table to binaryheap in order to track the
position of each nodes in the binaryheap. That way, by using newly
added functions such as binaryheap_update_up() etc., both updating a
key and removing a node can be done in O(1) on an average and O(log n)
in worst case. This is known as the indexed binary heap. The caller
can specify to use the indexed binaryheap by passing indexed = true.
The current code does not use the new indexing logic, but it will be
used by an upcoming patch.
