Some environments may compile with --with-lz4 while the command "lz4"
goes missing, causing two failures in the TAP tests of pg_verifybackup
(008_untar.pl and 010_client_untar.pl) as the code assumed that the
command always existed with a hardcoded value in src/Makefile.global.
Rather than this method, this adds a ./configure check based on
PGAC_PATH_PROGS() to find automatically the command and get an absolute
path to it.
Both tests need to be adjusted for the case where the command does not
exist, actually, as Makefile.global would set now LZ4 to an empty value
in this case. The TAP tests of pg_receivewal already do that.
Per report from buildfarm member copperhead, as an effect of dab2984.
The origin of the failure is actually babbbb5 that did not centralize
the check for the existence of a "lz4" command at ./configure to shave a
few cycles. Note that one just needs to tweak an environment to move
"lz4" out of the way to reproduce the problem, which is what I did to
test this change.

Depending on compiler version and optimization level, we might
get a complaint that lazy_scan_heap's "freespace" is used
uninitialized.
Compilers not aware that ereport(ERROR) doesn't return complained
about bbsink_lz4_new().
Assigning "-1" to a uint64 value has unportable results; fortunately,
the value of xlogreadsegno is unimportant when xlogreadfd is -1.
(It looks to me like there is no need for xlogreadsegno to be static
in the first place, but I didn't venture to change that.)
Rather than doing manual book keeping to plan the number of tests to run
in each TAP suite, conclude each run with done_testing() summing up the
the number of tests that ran. This removes the need for maintaning and
updating the plan count at the expense of an accurate count of remaining
during the test suite runtime.
This patch has been discussed a number of times, often in the context of
other patches which updates tests, so a larger number of discussions can
be found in the archives.

LZ4 compression can be a lot faster than gzip compression, so users
may prefer it even if the compression ratio is not as good. We will
want pg_basebackup to support LZ4 compression and decompression on the

"pg_ctl stop/restart" checked that the postmaster PID is valid just
once, as a side-effect of sending the stop signal, and then would
wait-till-timeout for the postmaster.pid file to go away. This
neglects the case wherein the postmaster dies uncleanly after we
signal it. Similarly, once "pg_ctl promote" has sent the signal,
it'd wait for the corresponding on-disk state change to occur
even if the postmaster dies.
I'm not sure how we've managed not to notice this problem, but it
seems to explain slow execution of the 017_shm.pl test script on AIX
since commit 4fdbf9af5, which added a speculative "pg_ctl stop" with
the idea of making real sure that the postmaster isn't there. In the
test steps that kill-9 and then restart the postmaster, it's possible
to get past the initial signal attempt before kill() stops working
for the doomed postmaster. If that happens, pg_ctl waited till
PGCTLTIMEOUT before giving up ... and the buildfarm's AIX members
have that set very high.
To fix, include a "kill(pid, 0)" test (similar to what
postmaster_is_alive uses) in these wait loops, so that we'll
give up immediately if the postmaster PID disappears.
While here, I chose to refactor those loops out of where they were.
do_stop() and do_restart() can perfectly well share one copy of the
wait-for-stop loop, and it seems desirable to put a similar function
beside that for wait-for-promote.
Back-patch to all supported versions, since pg_ctl's wait logic
is substantially identical in all, and we're seeing the slow test
behavior in all branches.

The behavior I proposed, of matching case only when only keywords
are available to complete, turns out to be too cute. It adds about
as many problems as it removes. Simplify down to ilmari's original
proposal of just always matching case when completing a keyword.
Also, I noticed while testing this that we've pessimized the behavior
for qualified GUC names: the code is insisting that they be
double-quoted, which was not the case before. Fix that by treating
GUC names as verbatim matches instead of possibly-schema-qualified
names. (While it's tempting to try to split qualified GUC names
so that we *could* treat them with the schema-qualified-name code
path, that really isn't going to work in light of guc.c's willingness
to allow more than two name components.)

Most calls of rmtree() report an error, and the code coming from 38bfae3
has introduced one caller where this is not done. The previous behavior
was to not fail hard if any log file generated is not properly unlinked
when cleaning up the contents generated once the upgrade has completed,
so add a cast to (void) to indicate the intention behind this new code.
Per gripe from Coverity.
Historically, the location of any files generated by pg_upgrade, as of
the per-database logs and internal dumps, has been the current working
directory, leaving all those files behind when using --retain or on a
failure.
Putting all those contents in a targeted subdirectory makes the whole
easier to debug, and simplifies the code in charge of cleaning up the
logs. Note that another reason is that this facilitates the move of
pg_upgrade to TAP with a fixed location for all the logs to grab if the
test fails repeatedly.
Initially, we thought about being able to specify the output directory
with a new option, but we have settled on using a subdirectory located
at the root of the new cluster's data folder, "pg_upgrade_output.d",
instead, as at the end the new data directory is the location of all the
data generated by pg_upgrade. There is a take with group permissions
here though: if the new data folder has been initialized with this
option, we need to create all the files and paths with the correct
permissions or a base backup taken after a pg_upgrade --retain would
fail, meaning that GetDataDirectoryCreatePerm() has to be called before
creating the log paths, before a couple of sanity checks on the clusters
and before getting the socket directory for the cluster's host settings.
The idea of the new location is based on a suggestion from Peter
Eisentraut.

Commit 8e2b6d45a0 added a new unprivileged user for testing
pg_basebackup, but omitted to add them to the cluster's authorized
logins, breaking Windows tests run without using Unix sockets.
The SQL standard has been ambiguous about whether null values in
unique constraints should be considered equal or not. Different
implementations have different behaviors. In the SQL:202x draft, this
has been formalized by making this implementation-defined and adding
an option on unique constraint definitions UNIQUE [ NULLS [NOT]
DISTINCT ] to choose a behavior explicitly.
This patch adds this option to PostgreSQL. The default behavior
remains UNIQUE NULLS DISTINCT. Making this happen in the btree code
is pretty easy; most of the patch is just to carry the flag around to
all the places that need it.
The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX syntax extension is not from the standard,
it's my own invention.
I named all the internal flags, catalog columns, etc. in the negative
("nulls not distinct") so that the default PostgreSQL behavior is the
default if the flag is false.

When completing keywords that are offered alongside names obtained
from a query, preserve the user's choice of keyword case. This
would have been messy to do before 02b8048ba, but now it's fairly
simple. A complication is that we want keywords to be shown in
upper case in any tab-completion menus that include both keywords
and non-keywords, so we can't switch their case until enough has
been typed that only keyword(s) remain to be chosen.
Also, adjust some places where 02b8048ba thoughtlessly held over
a previous choice to display keywords in lower case. (I think
I got confused as to whether those words were keywords or variable
names, but they're the former.)

This patch improves tab completion's ability to deal with
valid variant spellings of SQL identifiers. Notably:
* Unquoted upper-case identifiers are now downcased as the backend
would do, allowing them to be completed correctly.
* Tab completion can now match identifiers that are quoted even
though they don't need to be; for example "f<TAB> now completes
to "foo" if that's the only available name. Previously, only
names that require quotes would be offered.
* Schema-qualified identifiers are now supported where SQL syntax
allows it; many lesser-used completion rules neglected this.
* Completion operations that refer back to some previously-typed
name (for example, to complete names of columns belonging to a
previously-mentioned table) now allow variant spellings of the
previous name too.
In addition, performance of tab completion queries has been
improved for databases containing many objects, although
you'd only be likely to notice with a heavily-loaded server.
Authors of future tab-completion patches should note that this
commit changes many details about how tab completion queries
must be written:
* Tab completion queries now deal in raw object names; do not
use quote_ident().
* The name-matching restriction in a query must now be written
as "outputcol LIKE '%s'", not "substring(outputcol,1,%d)='%s'".
* The SchemaQuery mechanism has been extended so that it can
handle queries that refer back to a previous name. Most completion
queries that do that should be converted to SchemaQuery form.
Only consider using a literal query if the previous name can
never be schema-qualified. Don't use a literal query if the
name-to-be-completed can validly be schema-qualified, either.
* Use set_completion_reference() to specify which word is the previous
name to consider, for either a SchemaQuery or a literal query.
* If you want to offer some keywords in addition to a query result
(for example, offer COLUMN in addition to column names after
"ALTER TABLE t RENAME"), do not use the old hack of tacking the
keywords on with UNION. Instead use the new QUERY_PLUS macros
to write such keywords separately from the query proper. The
"addon" macro arguments that used to be used for this purpose
are gone.
* If your query returns something that's not a SQL identifier
(such as an attribute number or enum label), use the new
QUERY_VERBATIM macros to prevent the result from incorrectly
getting double-quoted. You may still need to use quote_literal
in such a query, too.

The server expects the compression level to be between 1 and 9, but
Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION is -1, so we must not try to send that value

Because pg_basebackup's -R option is implemented on the client side,

pg_basebackup's --compression option now lets you write either
"client-gzip" or "server-gzip" instead of just "gzip" to specify
where the compression should be performed. If you write simply
"gzip" it's taken to mean "client-gzip" unless you also use
--target, in which case it is interpreted to mean "server-gzip",
because that's the only thing that makes any sense in that case.
To make this work, the BASE_BACKUP command now takes new
COMPRESSION and COMPRESSION_LEVEL options.
At present, pg_basebackup cannot decompress .gz files, so
server-side compression will cause a failure if (1) -Ft is not
used or (2) -R is used or (3) -D- is used without --no-manifest.
Along the way, I removed the information message added by commit
5c649fe153 which occurred if you
specified no compression level and told you that the default level
had been used instead. That seemed like more output than most
people would want.
Also along the way, this adds a check to the server for
unrecognized base backup options. This repairs a bug introduced
by commit 0ba281cb4b.
This commit also adds some new test cases for pg_verifybackup.
They take a server-side backup with and without compression, and
then extract the backup if we have the OS facilities available
to do so, and then run pg_verifybackup on the extracted
directory. That is a good test of the functionality added by
this commit and also improves test coverage for the backup target
patch (commit 3500ccc39b) and for
pg_verifybackup itself.

Commit 9a974cbcba arranged to preserve
relfilenodes and tablespace OIDs. For similar reasons, also arrange
to preserve database OIDs.
One problem is that, up until now, the OIDs assigned to the template0
and postgres databases have not been fixed. This could be a problem
when upgrading, because pg_upgrade might try to migrate a database
from the old cluster to the new cluster while keeping the OID and find
a different database with that OID, resulting in a failure. If it finds
a database with the same name and the same OID that's OK: it will be
dropped and recreated. But the same OID and a different name is a
problem.
To prevent that, fix the OIDs for postgres and template0 to specific
values less than 16384. To avoid running afoul of this rule, these
values should not be changed in future releases. It's not a problem
that these OIDs aren't fixed in existing releases, because the OIDs
that we're assigning here weren't used for either of these databases
in any previous release. Thus, there's no chance that an upgrade of
a cluster from any previous release will collide with the OIDs we're
assigning here. And going forward, the OIDs will always be fixed, so
the only potential collision is with a system database having the
same name and the same OID, which is OK.
This patch lets users assign a specific OID to a database as well,
provided however that it can't be less than 16384. I (rhaas) thought
it might be better not to expose this capability to users, but the
consensus was otherwise, so the syntax is documented. Letting users
assign OIDs below 16384 would not be OK, though, because a
user-created database with a low-numbered OID might collide with a
system-created database in a future release. We therefore prohibit
that.

The option --compress is extended to accept a compression method and an
optional compression level, as of the grammar METHOD[:LEVEL]. The
methods currently support are "none" and "gzip", for client-side
compression. Any of those methods use only an integer value for the
compression level, but any method implemented in the future could use
more specific keywords if necessary.
This commit keeps the logic backward-compatible. Hence, the following
compatibility rules apply for the new format of the option --compress:
* -z/--gzip is a synonym of --compress=gzip.
* --compress=NUM implies:
** --compress=none if NUM = 0.
** --compress=gzip:NUM if NUM > 0.
Note that there are also plans to extend more this grammar with
server-side compression.

pg_basebackup now has a --target=TARGET[:DETAIL] option. If specfied,
it is sent to the server as the value of the TARGET option to the
BASE_BACKUP command. If DETAIL is included, it is sent as the value of
the new TARGET_DETAIL option to the BASE_BACKUP command. If the
target is anything other than 'client', pg_basebackup assumes that it
will now be the server's job to write the backup in a location somehow
defined by the target, and that it therefore needs to write nothing
locally. However, the server will still send messages to the client
for progress reporting purposes.
On the server side, we now support two additional types of backup
targets. There is a 'blackhole' target, which just throws away the
backup data without doing anything at all with it. Naturally, this
should only be used for testing and debugging purposes, since you will
not actually have a backup when it finishes running. More usefully,
there is also a 'server' target, so you can now use something like
'pg_basebackup -Xnone -t server:/SOME/PATH' to write a backup to some
location on the server. We can extend this to more types of targets
in the future, and might even want to create an extensibility
mechanism for adding new target types.
Since WAL fetching is handled with separate client-side logic, it's
not part of this mechanism; thus, backups with non-default targets
must use -Xnone or -Xfetch.

In the new approach, all files across all tablespaces are sent in a
single COPY OUT operation. The CopyData messages are no longer raw
archive content; rather, each message is prefixed with a type byte
that describes its purpose, e.g. 'n' signifies the start of a new
archive and 'd' signifies archive or manifest data. This protocol
is significantly more extensible than the old approach, since we can
later create more message types, though not without concern for
backward compatibility.
The new protocol sends a few things to the client that the old one
did not. First, it sends the name of each archive explicitly, instead
of letting the client compute it. This is intended to make it easier
to write future patches that might send archives in a format other
that tar (e.g. cpio, pax, tar.gz). Second, it sends explicit progress
messages rather than allowing the client to assume that progress is
defined by the number of bytes received. This will help with future
features where the server compresses the data, or sends it someplace
directly rather than transmitting it to the client.
The old protocol is still supported for compatibility with previous
releases. The new protocol is selected by means of a new
TARGET option to the BASE_BACKUP command. Currently, the
only supported target is 'client'. Support for additional
targets will be added in a later commit.

The original coding (from c33869cc3) failed with "more than one row
returned by a subquery used as an expression" if there were unrelated

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

Currently, database OIDs, relfilenodes, and tablespace OIDs can all
change when a cluster is upgraded using pg_upgrade. It seems better
to preserve them, because (1) it makes troubleshooting pg_upgrade
easier, since you don't have to do a lot of work to match up files
in the old and new clusters, (2) it allows 'rsync' to save bandwidth
when used to re-sync a cluster after an upgrade, and (3) if we ever
encrypt or sign blocks, we would likely want to use a nonce that
depends on these values.
This patch only arranges to preserve relfilenodes and tablespace
OIDs. The task of preserving database OIDs is left for another patch,

The logic is similar to default_tablespace in some ways, so as no SET
queries on default_table_access_method are generated before dumping or
restoring an object (table or materialized view support table AMs) when
specifying this new option.
This option is useful to enforce the use of a default access method even
if some tables included in a dump use an AM different than the system's
default.
There are already two cases in the TAP tests of pg_dump with a table and
a materialized view that use a non-default table AM, and these are
extended that the new option does not generate SET clauses on
default_table_access_method.

"jsonlog" is a new value that can be added to log_destination to provide
logs in the JSON format, with its output written to a file, making it
the third type of destination of this kind, after "stderr" and
"csvlog". The format is convenient to feed logs to other applications.
There is also a plugin external to core that provided this feature using
the hook in elog.c, but this had to overwrite the output of "stderr" to
work, so being able to do both at the same time was not possible. The
files generated by this log format are suffixed with ".json", and use
the same rotation policies as the other two formats depending on the
backend configuration.
This takes advantage of the refactoring work done previously in ac7c807,
bed6ed3, 8b76f89 and 2d77d83 for the backend parts, and 72b76f7 for the
TAP tests, making the addition of any new file-based format rather
straight-forward.
The documentation is updated to list all the keys and the values that
can exist in this new format. pg_current_logfile() also required a
refresh for the new option.

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.
Per report from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to v13 where
cd69ec66c came in.

By default, wait_for_catchup() waits for the replication connection
to reach the primary's write LSN. That's fine, but in an apparent
attempt to save one query round-trip, it was coded so that we
executed pg_current_wal_lsn() again during each probe query.
Thus, we presented the standby with a moving target to be reached.
(While the test script itself couldn't be causing the write LSN
to advance while it's blocked in wait_for_catchup(), it's plenty
plausible that background activity such as autovacuum is emitting
more WAL.) That could make the test take longer than necessary,
and potentially it could mask bugs by allowing the standby to process
more WAL than a strict interpretation of the test scenario allows.
So, change wait_for_catchup() to do it "by the book", explicitly
collecting the write LSN to wait for at the outset.
Also, various call sites were instructing wait_for_catchup() to
wait for the standby to reach the primary's insert LSN rather than
its write LSN. This also seems like a bad idea. While in most
test scenarios those are the same, if they are different then the
inserted-but-not-yet-written WAL is not presently available to the
standby. The test isn't doing anything to make it become so, so
again we have the potential for unwanted test delay, perhaps even
a test timeout. (Again, background activity would be needed to
make this more than a hypothetical problem.) Hence, change the
callers where necessary so that the wait target is always the
primary's write LSN.
While at it, simplify callers by making use of wait_for_catchup's
default arguments wherever possible (the preceding change makes
this possible in more places than it was before). And rewrite
wait_for_catchup's documentation a bit.
Patch by me; thanks to Julien Rouhaud for review.
