The original coding (from c33869cc3) failed with "more than one row
returned by a subquery used as an expression" if there were unrelated
triggers of the same tgname on parent partitioned tables. (That's
possible because statement-level triggers don't get inherited.) Fix
by applying LIMIT 1 after sorting the candidates by inheritance level.
Also, wrap the subquery in a CASE so that we don't have to execute it at
all when the trigger is visibly non-inherited. Aside from saving some
cycles, this avoids the need for a confusing and undocumented NULLIF().
While here, tweak the format of the emitted query to look a bit
nicer for "psql -E", and add some explanation of this subquery,
because it badly needs it.

Since enum labels have to be single-quoted, this part of the
tab completion machinery got side-swiped by commit cd69ec66c.
A side-effect of that commit is that (at least with some versions
of Readline) the text string passed for completion will omit the
leading quote mark of the enum label literal. Libedit still acts
the same as before, though, so adapt COMPLETE_WITH_ENUM_VALUE so
that it can cope with either convention.
Also, when we fail to find any valid completion, set
rl_completion_suppress_quote = 1. Otherwise readline will
go ahead and append a closing quote, which is unwanted.

This addresses some problems in the describe queries used for extended
statistics:
- Two schema qualifications for the text type were missing for \dX.
- The list of extended statistics listed for a table through \d was
ordered based on the object OIDs, but it is more consistent with the
other commands to order by namespace and then by object name.
- A couple of aliases were not used in \d. These are removed.
This is similar to commits 1f092a3 and 07f8a9e.

The documentation says plainly that \password acts on "the current user"
by default. What it actually acted on, or tried to, was the username
used to log into the current session. This is not the same thing if
one has since done SET ROLE or SET SESSION AUTHENTICATION. Aside from
the possible surprise factor, it's quite likely that the current role
doesn't have permissions to set the password of the original role.
To fix, use "SELECT CURRENT_USER" to get the role name to act on.
(This syntax works with servers at least back to 7.0.) Also, in
hopes of reducing confusion, include the role name that will be
acted on in the password prompt.

Incrementing the level of the call stack reported is useful for
debugging purposes as it allows to control which part of the test is
exactly failing, especially if a test is structured with subroutines
that call routines from Test::More.
This adds more incrementations of $Test::Builder::Level where debugging

pg_rewind where long subroutines are used).

The current refresh behavior tries to just refresh added/dropped
publications but that leads to removing wrong tables from subscription. We
can't refresh just the dropped publication because it is quite possible
that some of the tables are removed from publication by that time and now
those will remain as part of the subscription. Also, there is a chance
that the tables that were part of the publication being dropped are also
part of another publication, so we can't remove those.
So, we decided that by default, add/drop commands will also act like
REFRESH PUBLICATION which means they will refresh all the publications. We
can keep the old behavior for "add publication" but it is better to be
consistent with "drop publication".

Generalize the INDEX_CLEANUP VACUUM parameter (and the corresponding
reloption): make it into a ternary style boolean parameter. It now
exposes a third option, "auto". The "auto" option (which is now the
default) enables the "bypass index vacuuming" optimization added by
commit 1e55e7d1.
"VACUUM (INDEX_CLEANUP TRUE)" is redefined to once again make VACUUM
simply do any required index vacuuming, regardless of how few dead
tuples are encountered during the first scan of the target heap relation
(unless there are exactly zero). This gives users a way of opting out
of the "bypass index vacuuming" optimization, if for whatever reason
that proves necessary. It is also expected to be used by PostgreSQL
developers as a testing option from time to time.
"VACUUM (INDEX_CLEANUP FALSE)" does the same thing as it always has: it
forcibly disables both index vacuuming and index cleanup. It's not
expected to be used much in PostgreSQL 14. The failsafe mechanism added
by commit 1e55e7d1 addresses the same problem in a simpler way.
INDEX_CLEANUP can now be thought of as a testing and compatibility

An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string
could cause various processing loops to run past the string's
terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to
a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following
memory.
This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify
the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing
on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code
which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of
its input.
Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team
elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because
any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or
the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command.
(If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to
cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences
than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already
made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313.
To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it
won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string.
In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is.
It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though,
so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files
that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not
be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping
functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a
version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling
this issue.)

There are no bugs are being fixed here. The aim is just to make the code
use the most optimal function for the job.
All the code being changed here is new to PG14. It makes sense to fix
these before we branch for PG15. There are a few other places that we

Redefine '\0' (InvalidCompressionMethod) as meaning "if we need to
compress, use the current setting of default_toast_compression".
This allows '\0' to be a suitable default choice regardless of
datatype, greatly simplifying code paths that initialize tupledescs
and the like. It seems like a more user-friendly approach as well,
because now the default compression choice doesn't migrate into table
definitions, meaning that changing default_toast_compression is
usually sufficient to flip an installation's behavior; one needn't
tediously issue per-column ALTER SET COMPRESSION commands.
Along the way, fix a few minor bugs and documentation issues

Commit e717a9a18 changed the longstanding rule that prosrc is NOT NULL
because when a SQL-language function is written in SQL-standard style,
we don't currently have anything useful to put there. This seems a poor
decision though, as it could easily have negative impacts on external
PLs (opening them to crashes they didn't use to have, for instance).
SQL-function-related code can just as easily test "is prosqlbody not
null" as "is prosrc null", so there's no real gain there either.
Hence, revert the NOT NULL marking removal and adjust related logic.
For now, we just put an empty string into prosrc for SQL-standard
functions. Maybe we'll have a better idea later, although the
history of things like pg_attrdef.adsrc suggests that it's not
easy to maintain a string equivalent of a node tree.
This also adds an assertion that queryDesc->sourceText != NULL
to standard_ExecutorStart. We'd been silently relying on that
for awhile, so let's make it less silent.
Also fix some overlooked documentation and test cases.

This adds support for writing CREATE FUNCTION and CREATE PROCEDURE
statements for language SQL with a function body that conforms to the
SQL standard and is portable to other implementations.
Instead of the PostgreSQL-specific AS $$ string literal $$ syntax,
this allows writing out the SQL statements making up the body
unquoted, either as a single statement:
CREATE FUNCTION add(a integer, b integer) RETURNS integer
LANGUAGE SQL
RETURN a + b;
or as a block
CREATE PROCEDURE insert_data(a integer, b integer)
LANGUAGE SQL
BEGIN ATOMIC
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (a);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (b);
END;
The function body is parsed at function definition time and stored as
expression nodes in a new pg_proc column prosqlbody. So at run time,
no further parsing is required.
However, this form does not support polymorphic arguments, because
there is no more parse analysis done at call time.
Dependencies between the function and the objects it uses are fully
tracked.
A new RETURN statement is introduced. This can only be used inside
function bodies. Internally, it is treated much like a SELECT
statement.
psql needs some new intelligence to keep track of function body
boundaries so that it doesn't send off statements when it sees
semicolons that are inside a function body.

Documentation and comments in code and tests have been using the terms
sensitive/insensitive cursor incorrectly relative to the SQL standard.
(Cursor sensitivity is only relevant for changes made in the same
transaction as the cursor, not for concurrent changes in other

CURRENT OF changes are not visible in insensitive cursors, but they
should be.)
This change corrects the terminology and removes the claim that
sensitive cursors are supported. It also adds a test case that checks

not using WHERE CURRENT OF. Finally, it adds the ASENSITIVE cursor

When editing the previous query buffer, if the editor is exited
without modifying the temp file then clear the query buffer,
rather than re-loading (and probably re-executing) the previous
query buffer. This reduces the probability of accidentally

Similarly, in "\e file", if the file isn't actually modified
then don't load it into the query buffer. And in "\ef" and
"\ev", if no changes are made then clear the query buffer
instead of loading the function or view definition into it.
Cases where we fail to invoke the editor at all, or it returns

Allow defining extended statistics on expressions, not just just on
simple column references. With this commit, expressions are supported
by all existing extended statistics kinds, improving the same types of
estimates. A simple example may look like this:
CREATE TABLE t (a int);
CREATE STATISTICS s ON mod(a,10), mod(a,20) FROM t;
ANALYZE t;
The collected statistics are useful e.g. to estimate queries with those
expressions in WHERE or GROUP BY clauses:
SELECT * FROM t WHERE mod(a,10) = 0 AND mod(a,20) = 0;
SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY mod(a,10), mod(a,20);
This introduces new internal statistics kind 'e' (expressions) which is
built automatically when the statistics object definition includes any
expressions. This represents single-expression statistics, as if there
was an expression index (but without the index maintenance overhead).
The statistics is stored in pg_statistics_ext_data as an array of
composite types, which is possible thanks to 79f6a942bd.
CREATE STATISTICS allows building statistics on a single expression, in
which case in which case it's not possible to specify statistics kinds.
A new system view pg_stats_ext_exprs can be used to display expression
statistics, similarly to pg_stats and pg_stats_ext views.
ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... TYPE now treats indexes the same way it
treats indexes, i.e. it drops and recreates the statistics. This means
all statistics are reset, and we no longer try to preserve at least the
functional dependencies. This should not be a major issue in practice,
as the functional dependencies actually rely on per-column statistics,
which were always reset anyway.

Allow a partition be detached from its partitioned table without
blocking concurrent queries, by running in two transactions and only
requiring ShareUpdateExclusive in the partitioned table.
Because it runs in two transactions, it cannot be used in a transaction
block. This is the main reason to use dedicated syntax: so that users
can choose to use the original mode if they need it. But also, it
doesn't work when a default partition exists (because an exclusive lock
would still need to be obtained on it, in order to change its partition
constraint.)
In case the second transaction is cancelled or a crash occurs, there's
ALTER TABLE .. DETACH PARTITION .. FINALIZE, which executes the final
steps.
The main trick to make this work is the addition of column
pg_inherits.inhdetachpending, initially false; can only be set true in
the first part of this command. Once that is committed, concurrent
transactions that use a PartitionDirectory will include or ignore
partitions so marked: in optimizer they are ignored if the row is marked
committed for the snapshot; in executor they are always included. As a
result, and because of the way PartitionDirectory caches partition
descriptors, queries that were planned before the detach will see the
rows in the detached partition and queries that are planned after the
detach, won't.
A CHECK constraint is created that duplicates the partition constraint.
This is probably not strictly necessary, and some users will prefer to
remove it afterwards, but if the partition is re-attached to a
partitioned table, the constraint needn't be rechecked.
