The standard says that all changes of the same kind (insert, update, or
delete) caused in one table by a single SQL statement should be reported
in a single transition table; and by that, they mean to include foreign key
enforcement actions cascading from the statement's direct effects. It's
also reasonable to conclude that if the standard had wCTEs, they would say
that effects of wCTEs applying to the same table as each other or the outer
statement should be merged into one transition table. We weren't doing it
like that.
Hence, arrange to merge tuples from multiple update actions into a single
transition table as much as we can. There is a problem, which is that if
the firing of FK enforcement triggers and after-row triggers with
transition tables is interspersed, we might need to report more tuples
after some triggers have already seen the transition table. It seems like
a bad idea for the transition table to be mutable between trigger calls.
There's no good way around this without a major redesign of the FK logic,
so for now, resolve it by opening a new transition table each time this
happens.
Also, ensure that AFTER STATEMENT triggers fire just once per statement,
or once per transition table when we're forced to make more than one.
Previous versions of Postgres have allowed each FK enforcement query
to cause an additional firing of the AFTER STATEMENT triggers for the
referencing table, but that's certainly not per spec. (We're still
doing multiple firings of BEFORE STATEMENT triggers, though; is that
something worth changing?)
Also, forbid using transition tables with column-specific UPDATE triggers.
The spec requires such transition tables to show only the tuples for which
the UPDATE trigger would have fired, which means maintaining multiple
transition tables or else somehow filtering the contents at readout.
Maybe someday we'll bother to support that option, but it looks like a
lot of trouble for a marginal feature.
The transition tables are now managed by the AfterTriggers data structures,
rather than being directly the responsibility of ModifyTable nodes. This
removes a subtransaction-lifespan memory leak introduced by my previous
band-aid patch 3c4359521.
In passing, refactor the AfterTriggers data structures to reduce the
management overhead for them, by using arrays of structs rather than
several parallel arrays for per-query-level and per-subtransaction state.
I failed to resist the temptation to do some copy-editing on the SGML
docs about triggers, above and beyond merely documenting the effects
of this patch.
Back-patch to v10, because we don't want the semantics of transition
tables to change post-release.

This code is unsafe, as proven by buildfarm failures, because it tries
to access shared memory that might already be gone. It's also unnecessary,
because we're about to exit the process anyway and so the record type cache
should never be accessed again. The idea was to lay some foundations for
someday recycling workers --- which would require attaching to a different
shared tupdesc registry --- but that will require considerably more
thought. In the meantime let's save some bytes by just removing the
nonfunctional code.

Tuples can have type RECORDOID and a typmod number that identifies a blessed
TupleDesc in a backend-private cache. To support the sharing of such tuples
through shared memory and temporary files, provide a typmod registry in
shared memory.
To achieve that, introduce per-session DSM segments, created on demand when a
backend first runs a parallel query. The per-session DSM segment has a
table-of-contents just like the per-query DSM segment, and initially the
contents are a shared record typmod registry and a DSA area to provide the
space it needs to grow.
State relating to the current session is accessed via a Session object
reached through global variable CurrentSession that may require significant
redesign further down the road as we figure out what else needs to be shared
or remodelled.

Previously we read the control file in multiple places. But soon the
segment size will be configurable and stored in the control file, and
that needs to be available earlier than it currently is needed.
Instead of adding yet another place where it's read, refactor things

EXEC_BACKEND that's every individual backend's startup).

Flattening the partitioning hierarchy at this stage makes various
desirable optimizations difficult. The original use case for this
patch was partition-wise join, which wants to match up the partitions
in one partitioning hierarchy with those in another such hierarchy.
However, it now seems that it will also be useful in making partition
pruning work using the PartitionDesc rather than constraint exclusion,
because with a flattened expansion, we have no easy way to figure out
which PartitionDescs apply to which leaf tables in a multi-level
partition hierarchy.
As it turns out, we end up creating both rte->inh and !rte->inh RTEs
for each intermediate partitioned table, just as we previously did for
the root table. This seems unnecessary since the partitioned tables
have no storage and are not scanned. We might want to go back and
rejigger things so that no partitioned tables (including the parent)
need !rte->inh RTEs, but that seems to require some adjustments not
related to the core purpose of this patch.

With this change, the order of leaf partitions as returned by
RelationGetPartitionDispatchInfo should now be the same as the

for future patches to match up the partition dispatch information

opinion anyway, simpler and easier to understand.

Backpatch: 10, as d47cfef711
The order in which GRANTs are output is important as GRANTs which have
been GRANT'd by individuals via WITH GRANT OPTION GRANTs have to come
after the GRANT which included the WITH GRANT OPTION. This happens
naturally in the backend during normal operation as we only change
existing ACLs in-place, only add new ACLs to the end, and when removing
an ACL we remove any which depend on it also.
Also, adjust the comments in acl.h to make this clear.
Unfortunately, the updates to pg_dump to handle initial privileges
involved pulling apart ACLs and then combining them back together and
could end up putting them back together in an invalid order, leading to
dumps which wouldn't restore.
Fix this by adjusting the queries used by pg_dump to ensure that the
ACLs are rebuilt in the same order in which they were originally.
Back-patch to 9.6 where the changes for initial privileges were done.
Test queries added by commit 69835bc89 are giving unexpected results
on some smaller buildfarm critters. I think probably the seqscan
logic is kicking in to cause the scans to not start at the beginning
of the table. Add ORDER BY to make them be indexscans instead.
Per buildfarm member chipmunk.
Historically, the selectivity functions have simply not distinguished
< from <=, or > from >=, arguing that the fraction of the population that
satisfies the "=" aspect can be considered to be vanishingly small, if the
comparison value isn't any of the most-common-values for the variable.
(If it is, the code path that executes the operator against each MCV will
take care of things properly.) But that isn't really true unless we're
dealing with a continuum of variable values, and in practice we seldom are.
If "x = const" would estimate a nonzero number of rows for a given const
value, then it follows that we ought to estimate different numbers of rows
for "x < const" and "x <= const", even if the const is not one of the MCVs.
Handling this more honestly makes a significant difference in edge cases,
such as the estimate for a tight range (x BETWEEN y AND z where y and z
are close together).
Hence, split scalarltsel into scalarltsel/scalarlesel, and similarly
split scalargtsel into scalargtsel/scalargesel. Adjust <= and >=
operator definitions to reference the new selectivity functions.
Improve the core ineq_histogram_selectivity() function to make a
correction for equality. (Along the way, I learned quite a bit about
exactly why that function gives good answers, which I tried to memorialize
in improved comments.)
The corresponding join selectivity functions were, and remain, just stubs.
But I chose to split them similarly, to avoid confusion and to prevent the
need for doing this exercise again if someone ever makes them less stubby.
In passing, change ineq_histogram_selectivity's clamp for extreme
probability estimates so that it varies depending on the histogram
size, instead of being hardwired at 0.0001. With the default histogram
size of 100 entries, you still get the old clamp value, but bigger
histograms should allow us to put more faith in edge values.

This is primarily useful for making tests of this utility more

While this is less useful than the equivalent pg_recvlogical option,
