Fujii Masao e522024bd8 doc: Get rid of unnecessary space character from some index items.
Previously some index items have " ," (i.e., space + comma) in the docs
as follows. Since the space character before the comma is unnecessary,
this commit gets rid of that for the sake of consistency with other
index items.

Tom Lane 0cc9932788 Rename the "point is strictly above/below point" comparison operators.
Historically these were called >^ and <^, but that is inconsistent
with the similar box, polygon, and circle operators, which are named
|>> and <<| respectively.  Worse, the >^ and <^ names are used for
*not* strict above/below tests for the box type.

Hence, invent new operators following the more common naming.  The
old operators remain available for now, and are still accepted by
the relevant index opclasses too.  But there's a deprecation notice,
so maybe we can get rid of them someday.

Michael Paquier 878f3a19c6 Remove INSERT privilege check at table creation of CTAS and matview
As per discussion with Peter Eisentraunt, the SQL standard specifies
that any tuple insertion done as part of CREATE TABLE AS happens without
any extra ACL check, so it makes little sense to keep a check for INSERT
privileges when using WITH DATA.  Materialized views are not part of the
standard, but similarly, this check can be confusing as this refers to
an access check on a table created within the same command as the one
that would insert data into this table.

This commit removes the INSERT privilege check for WITH DATA, the
default, that 846005e removed partially, but only for WITH NO DATA.

Tom Lane 926fa801ac Remove undocumented IS [NOT] OF syntax.
This feature was added a long time ago, in 7c1e67bd5 and eb121ba2c,
but never documented in any user-facing way.  (Documentation added
in 6126d3e70 was commented out almost immediately, in 8272fc3f7.)
That's because, while this syntax is defined by SQL:99, our
implementation is only vaguely related to the standard's semantics.
The standard appears to intend a run-time not parse-time test, and
it definitely intends that the test should understand subtype
relationships.

No one has stepped up to fix that in the intervening years, but
people keep coming across the code and asking why it's not documented.
Let's just get rid of it: if anyone ever wants to make it work per
spec, they can easily recover whatever parts of this code are still
of value from our git history.

If there's anyone out there who's actually using this despite its
undocumented status, they can switch to using pg_typeof() instead,
eg. "pg_typeof(something) = 'mytype'::regtype".  That gives
essentially the same semantics as what our IS OF code did.
(We didn't have that function last time this was discussed, or
we would have ripped out IS OF then.)

Bug #16652 complains that pg_reload_conf() returned true, even though

Michael Paquier 846005e4f3 Relax INSERT privilege requirement for CTAS and matviews WITH NO DATA
When specified, WITH NO DATA does not insert any data into the relation
created, so skip checking for the insert permissions.  With WITH DATA or
WITH NO DATA, it is always required for the user to have CREATE
privileges on the schema targeted for the relation.

Note that plain CREATE TABLE AS or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW queries have
begun to work accidentally without INSERT privilege checks as of
874fe3ae, while using EXECUTE or EXPLAIN ANALYZE would fail with the ACL
check, so this makes the behavior for all the command flavors consistent
with each other.  This is arguably a bug fix, but there have been no
complaints about the current behavior either so stable branches are not
changed.

While on it, document properly the privileges requirements for each
commands with more tests for all the scenarios possible, and avoid a
useless bulk-insert allocation when using WITH NO DATA.

Tom Lane 29d29d652f Fix fuzzy thinking about amcanmulticol versus amcaninclude.
These flags should be independent: in particular an index AM should
be able to say that it supports include columns without necessarily
supporting multiple key columns.  The included-columns patch got
this wrong, possibly aided by the fact that it didn't bother to
update the documentation.

While here, clarify some text about amcanreturn, which was a little
vague about what should happen when amcanreturn reports that only
some of the index columns are returnable.

Noted while reviewing the SP-GiST included-columns patch, which
quite incorrectly (and unsafely) changed SP-GiST to claim
amcanmulticol = true as a workaround for this bug.

Backpatch to v11 where included columns were introduced.

This is mostly straightforward.  However, we disallow replacing
constraint triggers or changing the is-constraint property; perhaps
that can be added later, but the complexity versus benefit tradeoff
doesn't look very good.

Also, no special thought is taken here for whether replacing an
existing trigger should result in changes to queued-but-not-fired
trigger actions.  We just document that if you're surprised by the
results, too bad, don't do that.  (Note that any such pending trigger
activity would have to be within the current session.)

Tom Lane ec0294fb2c Support negative indexes in split_part().
This provides a handy way to get, say, the last field of the string.
Use of a negative index in this way has precedent in the nearby
left() and right() functions.

The implementation scans the string twice when N < -1, but it seems
likely that N = -1 will be the huge majority of actual use cases,
so I'm not really excited about adding complexity to avoid that.

This allows use of a "default" expression that doesn't slavishly
match the data column's type.  Formerly you got something like
"function lag(numeric, integer, integer) does not exist", which
is not just unhelpful but actively misleading.

The SQL spec suggests that the default should be coerced to the data
column's type, but this implementation instead chooses the common
supertype, which seems at least as reasonable.

(Note: I took the opportunity to run "make reformat-dat-files" on
pg_proc.dat, so this commit includes some cosmetic changes to
recently-added entries that aren't related to lead/lag.)

Heikki Linnakangas 8ef2a5afdf doc: Mention UNION/ORDER BY etc. keywords in section headers.
Most of the section and sub-section headers in the Queries chapter have
the keywords literally stated, but neither "Sorting Rows" nor "Combining
Rows" did. There's no rule that they must be, but it seems like a good
practice. The keywords will ring a bell to anyone with with even a little
bit of SQL experience.

Amit Kapila 8e90ec5580 Track statistics for streaming of changes from ReorderBuffer.
This adds the statistics about transactions streamed to the decoding
output plugin from ReorderBuffer. Users can query the
pg_stat_replication_slots view to check these stats and call
pg_stat_reset_replication_slot to reset the stats of a particular slot.
Users can pass NULL in pg_stat_reset_replication_slot to reset stats of
all the slots.

Commit 9868167500 has added the basic infrastructure to capture the stats
of slot and this commit extends the statistics collector to track
additional information about slots.

Bump the catversion as we have added new columns in the catalog entry.

Tom Lane b787d4ce6d Doc: clean up pg_relation_check_pages() documentation.
Commit f2b883969 did not get the memo about the new formatting
style for tables documenting built-in functions.  I noticed because
of a PDF build warning about an overwidth table.

Tom Lane 4c49d8fc15 Doc: clean up verify_heapam() documentation.
I started with the intention of just suppressing a PDF build warning
by removing the example output, but ended up doing more: correcting
factual errors in the function's signature, moving a bunch of
generalized handwaving into the "Using amcheck Effectively" section
which seemed a better place for it, and improving wording and markup
a little bit.

Michael Paquier f2b8839695 Add pg_relation_check_pages() to check on-disk pages of a relation
This makes use of CheckBuffer() introduced in c780a7a, adding a SQL
wrapper able to do checks for all the pages of a relation.  By default,
all the fork types of a relation are checked, and it is possible to
check only a given relation fork.  Note that if the relation given in
input has no physical storage or is temporary, then no errors are
generated, allowing full-database checks when coupled with a simple scan
of pg_class for example.  This is not limited to clusters with data
checksums enabled, as clusters without data checksums can still apply
checks on pages using the page headers or for the case of a page full of
zeros.

This function returns a set of tuples consisting of:
- The physical file where a broken page has been detected (without the
segment number as that can be AM-dependent, which can be guessed from
the block number for heap).  A relative path from PGPATH is used.
- The block number of the broken page.

By default, only superusers have an access to this function but
execution rights can be granted to other users.

The feature introduced here is still minimal, and more improvements
could be done, like:
- Addition of a start and end block number to run checks on a range
of blocks, which would apply only if one fork type is checked.
- Addition of some progress reporting.
- Throttling, with configuration parameters in function input or
potentially some cost-based GUCs.

Regression tests are added for positive cases in the main regression
test suite, and TAP tests are added for cases involving the emulation of
page corruptions.

Bump catalog version.

Tom Lane 8d132b2850 Doc: improve explanation of how to use our code coverage infrastructure.
The reference to running "make coverage" in a subdirectory was a
bit obscure, so clarify what happens when you do that.  Do a little
desultory copy-editing, too.

Per a question from Peter Smith.
