When an UPDATE causes a row to no longer match the partition
constraint, try to move it to a different partition where it does
match the partition constraint. In essence, the UPDATE is split into
a DELETE from the old partition and an INSERT into the new one. This
can lead to surprising behavior in concurrency scenarios because
EvalPlanQual rechecks won't work as they normally did; the known
problems are documented. (There is a pending patch to improve the
situation further, but it needs more review.)

When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries
for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since
the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual
indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions
also.
As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some
existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of
creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become
attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it,
and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first.
To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands
CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table>
(which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without
recursing) and
ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION
(which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each
partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior
database state exactly.

~> (cube, int) operator was especially designed for knn-gist search.
However, knn-gist supports only ascending ordering of results. Nevertheless
it would be useful to support descending ordering by ~> (cube, int) operator.
We provide workaround for that: negative coordinate give us inversed value

~> (cube, int) operator was especially designed for knn-gist search.
However, it appears that knn-gist search can't work correctly with current
behavior of this operator when dataset contains cubes of variable
dimensionality. In this case, the same value of second operator argument
can point to different dimension depending on dimensionality of particular cube.
Such behavior is incompatible with gist indexing of cubes, and knn-gist doesn't
work correctly for it.
This patch changes behavior of ~> (cube, int) operator by introducing dimension
numbering where value of second argument unambiguously identifies number of
dimension. With new behavior, this operator can be correctly supported by
knn-gist. Relevant changes to cube operator class are also included.
Backpatch to v9.6 where operator was introduced.
Since behavior of ~> (cube, int) operator is changed, depending entities
must be refreshed after upgrade. Such as, expression indexes using this
operator must be reindexed, materialized views must be rebuilt, stored
procedures and client code must be revised to correctly use new behavior.

These functions are stated to be Oracle-compatible, but they weren't.
Yugo Nagata noticed that while our code returns zero for a zero or
negative fourth parameter (occur_index), Oracle throws an error.
Further testing by me showed that there was also a discrepancy in the
interpretation of a negative third parameter (beg_index): Oracle thinks
that a negative beg_index indicates the last place where the target
substring can *begin*, whereas our code thinks it is the last place
where the target can *end*.
Adjust the sample code to behave like Oracle in both these respects.
Also change it to be a CDATA[] section, simplifying copying-and-pasting
out of the documentation source file. And fix minor problems in the
introductory comment, which wasn't very complete or accurate.

This adds a second standard channel binding type for SCRAM. It is

Author: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>
While ldaptls=1 provides an RFC 4513 conforming way to do LDAP
authentication with TLS encryption, there was an earlier de facto
standard way to do LDAP over SSL called LDAPS. Even though it's not
enshrined in a standard, it's still widely used and sometimes required
by organizations' network policies. There seems to be no reason not to
support it when available in the client library. Therefore, add support
when using OpenLDAP 2.4+ or Windows. It can be configured with
ldapscheme=ldaps or ldapurl=ldaps://...
Add tests for both ways of requesting LDAPS and a test for the

Introduce parallel-aware hash joins that appear in EXPLAIN plans as Parallel
Hash Join with Parallel Hash. While hash joins could already appear in
parallel queries, they were previously always parallel-oblivious and had a
partial subplan only on the outer side, meaning that the work of the inner
subplan was duplicated in every worker.
After this commit, the planner will consider using a partial subplan on the
inner side too, using the Parallel Hash node to divide the work over the
available CPU cores and combine its results in shared memory. If the join
needs to be split into multiple batches in order to respect work_mem, then
workers process different batches as much as possible and then work together
on the remaining batches.
The advantages of a parallel-aware hash join over a parallel-oblivious hash
join used in a parallel query are that it:
* avoids wasting memory on duplicated hash tables
* avoids wasting disk space on duplicated batch files
* divides the work of building the hash table over the CPUs
One disadvantage is that there is some communication between the participating
CPUs which might outweigh the benefits of parallelism in the case of small
hash tables. This is avoided by the planner's existing reluctance to supply
partial plans for small scans, but it may be necessary to estimate
synchronization costs in future if that situation changes. Another is that
outer batch 0 must be written to disk if multiple batches are required.
A potential future advantage of parallel-aware hash joins is that right and
full outer joins could be supported, since there is a single set of matched
bits for each hashtable, but that is not yet implemented.
A new GUC enable_parallel_hash is defined to control the feature, defaulting
to on.

This parameter can be used to enforce the channel binding type used
during a SCRAM authentication. This can be useful to check code paths
where an invalid channel binding type is used by a client and will be
even more useful to allow testing other channel binding types when they
are added.
The default value is tls-unique, which is what RFC 5802 specifies.
Clients can optionally specify an empty value, which has as effect to
not use channel binding and use SCRAM-SHA-256 as chosen SASL mechanism.
More tests for SCRAM and channel binding are added to the SSL test

When we create an Append node, we can spread out the workers over the
subplans instead of piling on to each subplan one at a time, which
should typically be a bit more efficient, both because the startup
cost of any plan executed entirely by one worker is paid only once and
also because of reduced contention. We can also construct Append
plans using a mix of partial and non-partial subplans, which may allow
for parallelism in places that otherwise couldn't support it.
Unfortunately, this patch doesn't handle the important case of
parallelizing UNION ALL by running each branch in a separate worker;
the executor infrastructure is added here, but more planner work is
needed.

rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's
target table. That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even
for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree
would necessarily be plain tables. However, the 9.5 feature addition
allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the
assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all
child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping. This led to
visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would
also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods
other than CTID for row identification.
To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has
expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already
mapped) tlist for each child table. We can conveniently call it from
preprocess_targetlist. Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the
need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during
preprocess_targetlist. (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around
the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't.
But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs,
which is more pain than it's worth.)
Also fix ExecModifyTable to ensure that "tupleid" is reset to NULL when
we transition from rows providing a CTID to rows that don't. (That's
really an independent bug, but it manifests in much the same cases.)
Add a regression test checking one manifestation of this problem, which
was that row-level triggers on a foreign child table did not work right.

pgbench can skip some transactions when both -R and -L options are used.
Previously, this resulted in slightly silly statistics both in progress
reports and final output, because the skipped transactions were counted
as executed for TPS and related stats. Discount skipped xacts in TPS
numbers, and also when figuring the percentage of xacts exceeding the
latency limit.
Also, don't print per-script skipped-transaction counts when there is
only one script. That's redundant with the overall count, and it's
inconsistent with the fact that we don't print other per-script stats
when there's only one script. Clean up some unnecessary interactions
between what should be independent options that were due to that
decision.
While at it, avoid division-by-zero in cases where no transactions were
executed. While on modern platforms this would generally result in
printing "NaN" rather than a crash, that isn't spelled consistently
across platforms and it would confuse many people. Skip the relevant
output entirely when practical, else print zeroes.

Previously, any attempt to request a 3.x protocol version other than
3.0 would lead to a hard connection failure, which made the minor
protocol version really no different from the major protocol version
and precluded gentle protocol version breaks. Instead, when the
client requests a 3.x protocol version where x is greater than 0, send
the new NegotiateProtocolVersion message to convey that we support
only 3.0. This makes it possible to introduce new minor protocol
versions without requiring a connection retry when the server is
older.
In addition, if the startup packet includes name/value pairs where
the name starts with "_pq_.", assume that those are protocol options,
not GUCs. Include those we don't support (i.e. all of them, at
present) in the NegotiateProtocolVersion message so that the client
knows they were not understood. This makes it possible for the
client to request previously-unsupported features without bumping
the protocol version at all; the client can tell from the server's
response whether the option was understood.
It will take some time before servers that support these new
facilities become common in the wild; to speed things up and make
things easier for a future 3.1 protocol version, back-patch to all
supported releases.

This code evidently intended to treat backslash as an escape character
within double-quoted substrings, but it was sufficiently confused that
cases like ..."foo\\"... did not work right: the second backslash
managed to quote the double-quote after it, despite being quoted itself.
Rewrite to get that right, while preserving the existing behavior
outside double-quoted substrings, which is that backslash isn't special
except in the combination \".
Comparing to Oracle, it seems that their version of to_char() for
timestamps allows literal alphanumerics only within double quotes, while
non-alphanumerics are allowed outside quotes; backslashes aren't special
anywhere; there is no way at all to emit a literal double quote.
(Bizarrely, their to_char() for numbers is different; it doesn't allow
literal text at all AFAICT.) The fact that they don't treat backslash
as special justifies our existing behavior for backslash outside double
quotes. I considered making backslash inside double quotes act the same
way (ie, special only if before "), which in a green field would be a
more consistent behavior. But that would likely break more existing SQL
code than what this patch does.
Add some test cases illustrating this behavior. (Only the last new
case actually changes behavior in this commit.)
Little of this behavior was documented, either, so fix that.

Non-data template patterns would consume characters whether or not those
characters were what the pattern expected, for example
SELECT TO_NUMBER('1234', '9,999');
produced 134 because the '2' got eaten by the comma pattern. This seems
undesirable, not least because it doesn't happen in Oracle. For the ','
and 'G' template patterns, we can fix this by consuming characters only
if they match what the pattern would output. For non-data patterns such
as 'L' and 'TH', it seems impractical to tighten things up to the point of
consuming only exact matches to what the pattern would output; but we can
improve matters quite a lot by redefining the behavior as "consume only
characters that aren't digits, signs, decimal point, or comma".
Also, fix it so that the behavior is to consume the number of *characters*
the pattern would output, not the number of *bytes*. The old coding would
do surprising things with non-ASCII currency symbols, for example. (It
would be good to apply that rule for literal text as well, but this commit
only fixes it for non-data patterns.)

This feature caters to specialized use-cases such as running the normal
pgbench scenario with nonstandard indexes, or inserting other actions
between steps of the initialization sequence. The normal sequence of
initialization actions is broken down into half a dozen steps which can
be executed in a user-specified order, to the extent to which that's
sensible. The actions themselves aren't changed, except to make them
more robust against nonstandard uses:
* all four tables are now dropped in one DROP command, to reduce
assumptions about what foreign key relationships exist;
* all four tables are now truncated at the start of the data load
step, for consistency;
* the foreign key creation commands now specify constraint names, to
prevent accidentally creating duplicate constraints by executing the
'f' step twice.
Make some cosmetic adjustments in the messages emitted by pgbench
so that it's clear which steps are getting run, and so that the
messages agree with the documented names of the steps.
In passing, fix failure to enforce that the -v option is used only
in benchmarking mode.
