Tom Lane d3751adcf1 Fix get_actual_variable_range() to cope with broken HOT chains.
Commit 3ca930fc3 modified get_actual_variable_range() to use a new
"SnapshotNonVacuumable" snapshot type for selecting tuples that it
would consider valid.  However, because that snapshot type can accept
recently-dead tuples, this caused a bug when using a recently-created
index: we might accept a recently-dead tuple that is an early member
of a broken HOT chain and does not actually match the index entry.
Then, the data extracted from the heap tuple would not necessarily be
an endpoint value of the column; it could even be NULL, leading to
get_actual_variable_range() itself reporting "found unexpected null
value in index".  Even without an error, this could lead to poor
plan choices due to an erroneous notion of the endpoint value.

We can improve matters by changing the code to use the index-only
scan technique (which didn't exist when get_actual_variable_range was
originally written).  If any of the tuples in a HOT chain are live
enough to satisfy SnapshotNonVacuumable, we take the data from the
index entry, ignoring what is in the heap.  This fixes the problem
without changing the live-vs-dead-tuple behavior from what was
intended by commit 3ca930fc3.

A side benefit is that for static tables we might not have to touch
the heap at all (when the extremal value is in an all-visible page).
In addition, we can save some overhead by not having to create a
complete ExecutorState, and we don't need to run FormIndexDatum,
avoiding more cycles as well as the possibility of failure for
indexes on expressions.  (I'm not sure that this code would ever
be used to determine the extreme value of an expression, in the
current state of the planner; but it's definitely possible that
lower-order columns of the selected index could be expressions.
So one could construct perhaps-artificial examples in which the
old code unexpectedly failed due to trying to compute an
expression's value for a now-dead row.)

Per report from Manuel Rigger.  Back-patch to v11 where commit
3ca930fc3 came in.

David Rowley cfde234939 Fix RANGE partition pruning with multiple boolean partition keys
match_clause_to_partition_key incorrectly would return
PARTCLAUSE_UNSUPPORTED if a bool qual could not be matched to the current
partition key.  This was a problem, as it causes the calling function to
discard the qual and not try to match it to any other partition key.  If
there was another partition key which did match this qual, then the qual
would not be checked again and we could fail to prune some partitions.

The worst this could do was to cause partitions not to be pruned when they
could have been, so there was no danger of incorrect query results here.

Fix this by changing match_boolean_partition_clause to have it return a
PartClauseMatchStatus rather than a boolean value.  This allows it to
communicate if the qual is unsupported or if it just does not match this
particular partition key, previously these two cases were treated the
same.  Now, if match_clause_to_partition_key is unable to match the qual
to any other qual type then we can simply return the value from the
match_boolean_partition_clause call so that the calling function properly
treats the qual as either unmatched or unsupported.

Tom Lane b5810de3f4 Reduce memory consumption for multi-statement query strings.
Previously, exec_simple_query always ran parse analysis, rewrite, and
planning in MessageContext, allowing all the data generated thereby
to persist until the end of processing of the whole query string.
That's fine for single-command strings, but if a client sends many
commands in a single simple-Query message, this strategy could result
in annoying memory bloat, as complained of by Andreas Seltenreich.

To fix, create a child context to do this work in, and reclaim it
after each command.  But we only do so for parsetrees that are not
last in their query string.  That avoids adding any memory management
overhead for the typical case of a single-command string.  Memory
allocated for the last parsetree would be freed immediately after
finishing the command string anyway.

Similarly, adjust extension.c's execute_sql_string() to reclaim memory
after each command.  In that usage, multi-command strings are the norm,
so it's a bit surprising that no one has yet complained of bloat ---
especially since the bloat extended to whatever data ProcessUtility
execution might leak.

David Rowley f7c830f1ab Fix missing calls to table_finish_bulk_insert during COPY, take 2
86b85044e abstracted calls to heap functions in COPY FROM to support a
generic table AM.  However, when performing a copy into a partitioned
table, this commit neglected to call table_finish_bulk_insert for each
partition.  Before 86b85044e, when we always called the heap functions,
there was no need to call heapam_finish_bulk_insert for partitions since
it only did any work when performing a copy without WAL.  For partitioned
tables, this was unsupported anyway, so there was no issue.  With
pluggable storage, we can't make any assumptions about what the table AM
might want to do in its equivalent function, so we'd better ensure we
always call table_finish_bulk_insert each partition that's received a row.

For now, we make the table_finish_bulk_insert call whenever we evict a
CopyMultiInsertBuffer out of the CopyMultiInsertInfo.  This does mean
that it's possible that we call table_finish_bulk_insert multiple times
per partition, which is not a problem other than being an inefficiency.
Improving this requires a more invasive patch, so let's leave that for
another day.

This also changes things so that we no longer needlessly call
table_finish_bulk_insert when performing a COPY FROM for a non-partitioned
table when not using multi-inserts.

Tom Lane 0ab1a2e39b Remove dead encoding-conversion functions.
The code for conversions SQL_ASCII <-> MULE_INTERNAL and
SQL_ASCII <-> UTF8 was unreachable, because we long ago changed
the wrapper functions pg_do_encoding_conversion() et al so that
they have hard-wired behaviors for conversions involving SQL_ASCII.
(At least some of those fast paths date back to 2002, though it
looks like we may not have been totally consistent about this until
later.)  Given the lack of complaints, nobody is dissatisfied with
this state of affairs.  Hence, let's just remove the unreachable code.

Also, change CREATE CONVERSION so that it rejects attempts to
define such conversions.  Since we consider that SQL_ASCII represents
lack of knowledge about the encoding in use, such a conversion would
be semantically dubious even if it were reachable.

Adjust a couple of regression test cases that had randomly decided
to rely on these conversion functions rather than any other ones.

Michael Paquier 313f87a171 Add min() and max() aggregates for pg_lsn
This is useful for monitoring, when it comes for example to calculations
of WAL retention with replication slots and delays with a set of
standbys.

Bump catalog version.

Michael Paquier 8a810a177c Update hardcoded DH parameters to IANA standards
The source defining the current fallback and hardcoded DH parameters
has disappeared from the web a long time ago, and RFC 3526 defines the
most current Diffie-Hellman MODP groups, so update to those new values.

Tomas Vondra 08aa131c7a Simplify pg_mcv_list (de)serialization
The serialization format of multivariate MCV lists included alignment in
order to allow direct access to part of the serialized data, but despite
multiple fixes (see for example commits d85e0f366a and ea4e1c0e8f) this
proved to be problematic.

This commit abandons alignment in the serialized format, and just copies
everything during deserialization.  We now also track amount of memory
needed after deserialization (including alignment), which allows us to
deserialize the MCV list in a single pass.

Bump catversion, as this affects contents of pg_statistic_ext_data.

Backpatch to 12, where multi-column MCV lists were introduced.

Tomas Vondra 4d66285adc Fix pg_mcv_list_items() to produce text[]
The function pg_mcv_list_items() returns values stored in MCV items. The
items may contain columns with different data types, so the function was
generating text array-like representation, but in an ad-hoc way without
properly escaping various characters etc.

Fixed by simply building a text[] array, which also makes it easier to
use from queries etc.

Requires changes to pg_proc entry, so bump catversion.
