Tom Lane cb03fa33ae Fix assorted syscache lookup sloppiness in partition-related code.
heap_drop_with_catalog and ATExecDetachPartition neglected to check for
SearchSysCache failures, as noted in bugs #14927 and #14928 from Pan Bian.
Such failures are pretty unlikely, since we should already have some sort
of lock on the rel at these points, but it's neither a good idea nor
per project style to omit a check for failure.

Also, StorePartitionKey contained a syscache lookup that it never did
anything with, including never releasing the result.  Presumably the
reason why we don't see refcount-leak complaints is that the lookup
always fails; but in any case it's pretty useless, so remove it.

All of these errors were evidently introduced by the relation
partitioning feature.  Back-patch to v10 where that came in.

Tom Lane 9a785ad573 Fix creation of resjunk tlist entries for inherited mixed UPDATE/DELETE.
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.

Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

Simon Riggs 59af8d4384 Pad XLogReaderState's per-buffer data_bufsz more aggressively.
Originally, we palloc'd this buffer just barely big enough to hold the
largest xlog backup block seen so far. We now MAXALIGN the palloc size.

The original coding could result in many repeated palloc cycles, in the
worst case where we see a series ofgradually larger xlog records.  We
ameliorate that similarly to 8735978e7a
by imposing a minimum buffer size of BLCKSZ.

Tom Lane 8735978e7a Pad XLogReaderState's main_data buffer more aggressively.
Originally, we palloc'd this buffer just barely big enough to hold the
largest xlog record seen so far.  It turns out that that can result in
valgrind complaints, because some compilers will emit code that assumes
it can safely fetch padding bytes at the end of a struct, and those
padding bytes were unallocated so far as aset.c was concerned.  We can
fix that by MAXALIGN'ing the palloc request size, ensuring that it is big
enough to include any possible padding that might've been omitted from
the on-disk record.

An additional objection to the original coding is that it could result in
many repeated palloc cycles, in the worst case where we see a series of
gradually larger xlog records.  We can ameliorate that cheaply by
imposing a minimum buffer size that's large enough for most xlog records.
BLCKSZ/2 was chosen after a bit of discussion.

In passing, remove an obsolete comment in struct xl_heap_new_cid that the
combocid field is free due to alignment considerations.  Perhaps that was
true at some point, but it's not now.

Tom Lane 9b63c13f0a Repair failure with SubPlans in multi-row VALUES lists.
When nodeValuesscan.c was written, it was impossible to have a SubPlan in
VALUES --- any sub-SELECT there would have to be uncorrelated and thereby
would produce an InitPlan instead.  We therefore took a shortcut in the
logic that throws away a ValuesScan's per-row expression evaluation data
structures.  This was broken by the introduction of LATERAL however; a
sub-SELECT containing a lateral reference produces a correlated SubPlan.

The cleanest fix for this would be to give up the optimization of
discarding the expression eval state.  But that still seems pretty
unappetizing for long VALUES lists.  It seems to work to just prevent
the subexpressions from hooking into the ValuesScan node's subPlan
list, so let's do that and see how well it works.  (If this breaks,
due to additional connections between the subexpressions and the outer
query structures, we might consider compromises like throwing away data
only for VALUES rows not containing SubPlans.)

Per bug #14924 from Christian Duta.  Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL
was introduced.

Tom Lane ab97aaac8f Update buffile.h/.c comments for removal of non-temp option.
Commit 11e264517 removed BufFile's isTemp flag, thereby eliminating
the possibility of resurrecting BufFileCreate().  But it left that
function in place, as well as a bunch of comments describing how things
worked for the non-temp-file case.  At best, that's now a source of
confusion.  So remove the long-since-commented-out function and change
relevant comments.

that seems not to be the consensus position, so leave it as-is.

In passing, fix commit f0828b2fc's failure to update BufFileSeek's
comment to match the change of its argument type from long to off_t.

now that 64-bit off_t is nearly universal, it looks anachronistic.)

Tom Lane df3a66e282 Improve planner's handling of set-returning functions in grouping columns.
Improve query_is_distinct_for() to accept SRFs in the targetlist when
we can prove distinctness from a DISTINCT clause.  In that case the
de-duplication will surely happen after SRF expansion, so the proof
still works.  Continue to punt in the case where we'd try to prove
distinctness from GROUP BY (or, in the future, source relations).
To do that, we'd have to determine whether the SRFs were in the
grouping columns or elsewhere in the tlist, and it still doesn't
seem worth the trouble.  But this trivial change allows us to
recognize that "SELECT DISTINCT unnest(foo) FROM ..." produces
unique-ified output, which seems worth having.

Also, fix estimate_num_groups() to consider the possibility of SRFs in
the grouping columns.  Its failure to do so was masked before v10 because
grouping_planner() scaled up plan rowcount estimates by the estimated SRF
multiplier after performing grouping.  That doesn't happen anymore, which
is more correct, but it means we need an adjustment in the estimate for
the number of groups.  Failure to do this leads to an underestimate for
the number of output rows of subqueries like "SELECT DISTINCT unnest(foo)"
compared to what 9.6 and earlier estimated, thus breaking plan choices
in some cases.

Per report from Dmitry Shalashov.  Back-patch to v10 to avoid degraded
plan choices compared to previous releases.

Tom Lane 0f2458ff5f Improve valgrind logic in aset.c, and fix multiple issues in generation.c.
Revise aset.c so that all the "private" fields of chunk headers are
marked NOACCESS when outside the module, improving on the previous
coding which protected only requested_size.  Fix a couple of corner
case bugs, such as failing to re-protect the header during a failure
exit from AllocSetRealloc, and wrong padding-size calculation for an
oversize allocation request.

Apply the same design to generation.c, and also fix several bugs therein
that I found by dint of hacking the code to use generation.c as the
standard allocator and then running the core regression tests with it.
Notably, we have to track the actual size of each block, else the
wipe_mem call in GenerationReset clears the wrong amount of memory for
an oversize-chunk block; and GenerationCheck needs a way of identifying
freed chunks that isn't fooled by palloc(0).  I chose to fix the latter
by resetting the context pointer to NULL in a freed chunk, roughly like
what happens in a freed aset.c chunk.

Add commentary about what we're doing and why.  Apply the method used for
padding in GenerationChunk to AllocChunkData, replacing the rather ad-hoc
solution used in commit 7e3aa03b4.  Reorder fields in GenerationChunk so
that the padding calculation will work even if sizeof(size_t) is different
from sizeof(void *) --- likely that will never happen, but we don't need
the assumption if we do it like this.  Improve static assertions about
alignment.

In passing, fix a couple of oversights in the "large chunk" path in
GenerationAlloc().

Andres Freund 59b71c6fe6 Fix handling of NULLs returned by aggregate combine functions.
When strict aggregate combine functions, used in multi-stage/parallel
aggregation, returned NULL, we didn't check for that, invoking the
combine function with NULL the next round, despite it being strict.

The equivalent code invoking normal transition functions has a check
for that situation, which did not get copied in a7de3dc5c3. Fix the
bug by adding the equivalent check.

Based on a quick look I could not find any strict combine functions in
core actually returning NULL, and it doesn't seem very likely external
users have done so. So this isn't likely to have caused issues in
practice.

Add tests verifying transition / combine functions returning NULL is
tested.

Robert Haas ae65f6066d Provide for forward compatibility with future minor protocol versions.
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.

Robert Haas 0510421ee0 Tweak use of ExecContextForcesOids by Gather (Merge).
Specifically, pass the outer plan's PlanState instead of our own
PlanState.  At present, ExecContextForcesOids doesn't actually care
which PlanState we pass; it just looks through to the underlying
EState to find the result relation or top-level eflags.  However, in
the future it might care.  If that happens, and if our goal is to get
a tuple descriptor that matches that of the outer plan, then I think
what we care about is whether the outer plan's context forces OIDs,
rather than whether our own context forces OIDs, just as we use the
outer node's target list rather than our own.

Tom Lane 976a1a48fc Improve to_date/to_number/to_timestamp behavior with multibyte characters.
The documentation says that these functions skip one input character
per literal (non-pattern) format character.  Actually, though, they
skipped one input *byte* per literal *byte*, which could be hugely
confusing if either data or format contained multibyte characters.

To fix, adjust the FormatNode representation and parse_format() so
that multibyte format characters are stored as one FormatNode not
several, and adjust the data-skipping bits to advance by pg_mblen()
not necessarily one byte.  There's no user-visible behavior change
on the to_char() side, although the internal representation changes.

Commit e87d4965b had already fixed most places where we skip characters
on the basis of non-literal format patterns to advance by characters
not bytes, but this gets one more place, the SKIP_THth macro.  I think
everything in formatting.c gets that right now.

It'd be nice to have some regression test cases covering this behavior;
but of course there's no way to do so in an encoding-agnostic way, and
many of the interesting aspects would also require unportable locale
selections.  So I've not bothered here.

Tom Lane 63ca86318d Fix quoted-substring handling in format parsing for to_char/to_number/etc.
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.

Tom Lane e87d4965bd Prevent to_number() from losing data when template doesn't match exactly.
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.)

Tom Lane 687f096ea9 Make PL/Python handle domain-type conversions correctly.
Fix PL/Python so that it can handle domains over composite, and so that
it enforces domain constraints correctly in other cases that were not
always done properly before.  Notably, it didn't do arrays of domains
right (oversight in commit c12d570fa), and it failed to enforce domain
constraints when returning a composite type containing a domain field,
and if a transform function is being used for a domain's base type then
it failed to enforce domain constraints on the result.  Also, in many
places it missed checking domain constraints on null values, because
the plpy_typeio code simply wasn't called for Py_None.

Rather than try to band-aid these problems, I made a significant
refactoring of the plpy_typeio logic.  The existing design of recursing
for array and composite members is extended to also treat domains as
containers requiring recursion, and the APIs for the module are cleaned
up and simplified.

The patch also modifies plpy_typeio to rely on the typcache more than
it did before (which was pretty much not at all).  This reduces the
need for repetitive lookups, and lets us get rid of an ad-hoc scheme
for detecting changes in composite types.  I added a couple of small
features to typcache to help with that.

Although some of this is fixing bugs that long predate v11, I don't
think we should risk a back-patch: it's a significant amount of code
churn, and there've been no complaints from the field about the bugs.

Robert Haas e89a71fb44 Pass InitPlan values to workers via Gather (Merge).
If a PARAM_EXEC parameter is used below a Gather (Merge) but the InitPlan
that computes it is attached to or above the Gather (Merge), force the
value to be computed before starting parallelism and pass it down to all
workers.  This allows us to use parallelism in cases where it previously
would have had to be rejected as unsafe.  We do - in this case - lose the
optimization that the value is only computed if it's actually used.  An
alternative strategy would be to have the first worker that needs the value
compute it, but one downside of that approach is that we'd then need to
select a parallel-safe path to compute the parameter value; it couldn't for
example contain a Gather (Merge) node.  At some point in the future, we
might want to consider both approaches.

Independent of that consideration, there is a great deal more work that
could be done to make more kinds of PARAM_EXEC parameters parallel-safe.
This infrastructure could be used to allow a Gather (Merge) on the inner
side of a nested loop (although that's not a very appealing plan) and
cases where the InitPlan is attached below the Gather (Merge) could be
addressed as well using various techniques.  But this is a good start.

The point of having separate ResourceOwnerEnlargeFoo and
ResourceOwnerRememberFoo functions is so that resource allocation
can happen in between.  Doing it in some other order is just wrong.

OpenTemporaryFile() did open(), enlarge, remember, which would leak the
open file if the enlarge step ran out of memory.  Because fd.c has its own
layer of resource-remembering, the consequences look like they'd be limited
to an intratransaction FD leak, but it's still not good.

IncrBufferRefCount() did enlarge, remember, incr-refcount, which would blow
up if the incr-refcount step ever failed.  It was safe enough when written,
but since the introduction of PrivateRefCountHash, I think the assumption
that no error could happen there is pretty shaky.

btree, hash, and bloom indexes all set up their metapages in standard
format (that is, with pd_lower and pd_upper correctly delimiting the
unused area); but they mostly didn't inform the xlog routines of this.
When calling log_newpage[_buffer], this is bad because it loses the
opportunity to compress unused data out of the WAL record.  When
calling XLogRegisterBuffer, it's not such a performance problem because
all of these call sites also use REGBUF_WILL_INIT, preventing an FPI
image from being written.  But it's still a good idea to provide the
flag when relevant, because that aids WAL consistency checking.

This completes the project of getting all the in-core index AMs to

Tom Lane 81e334ce4e Set the metapage's pd_lower correctly in brin, gin, and spgist indexes.
Previously, these index types left the pd_lower field set to the default
SizeOfPageHeaderData, which is really a lie because it ought to point past
whatever space is being used for metadata.  The coding accidentally failed
to fail because we never told xlog.c that the metapage is of standard
format --- but that's not very good, because it impedes WAL consistency
checking, and in some cases prevents compression of full-page images.

To fix, ensure that we set pd_lower correctly, not only when creating a
metapage but whenever we write it out (these apparently redundant steps are
needed to cope with pg_upgrade'd indexes that don't yet contain the right
value).  This allows telling xlog.c that the page is of standard format.

The WAL consistency check mask functions are made to mask only if pd_lower
appears valid, which I think is likely unnecessary complication, since
any metapage appearing in a v11 WAL stream should contain valid pd_lower.
But it doesn't cost much to be paranoid.

Tom Lane 62a16572d5 Fix corner-case errors in brin_doupdate().
In some cases the BRIN code releases lock on an index page, and later
re-acquires lock and tries to check that the tuple it was working on is
still there.  That check was a couple bricks shy of a load.  It didn't
consider that the page might have turned into a "revmap" page.  (The
samepage code path doesn't call brin_getinsertbuffer(), so it isn't
protected by the checks for revmap status there.)  It also didn't check
whether the tuple offset was now off the end of the linepointer array.
Since commit 24992c6db the latter case is pretty common, but at least
in principle it could have occurred before that.  The net result is
that concurrent updates of a BRIN index could fail with errors like
"invalid index offnum" or "inconsistent range map".

Per report from Tomas Vondra.  Back-patch to 9.5, since this code is

Tom Lane 7b6c075471 Teach planner to account for HAVING quals in aggregation plan nodes.
For some reason, we have never accounted for either the evaluation cost
or the selectivity of filter conditions attached to Agg and Group nodes
(which, in practice, are always conditions from a HAVING clause).

Applying our regular selectivity logic to post-grouping conditions is a
bit bogus, but it's surely better than taking the selectivity as 1.0.
Perhaps someday the extended-statistics mechanism can be taught to provide
statistics that would help us in getting non-default estimates here.

Per a gripe from Benjamin Coutu.  This is surely a bug fix, but I'm
hesitant to back-patch because of the prospect of destabilizing existing
plan choices.  Given that it took us this long to notice the bug, it's
probably not hurting too many people in the field.

Tom Lane 7c70996ebf Allow bitmap scans to operate as index-only scans when possible.
If we don't have to return any columns from heap tuples, and there's
no need to recheck qual conditions, and the heap page is all-visible,
then we can skip fetching the heap page altogether.

Skip prefetching pages too, when possible, on the assumption that the
recheck flag will remain the same from one page to the next.  While that
assumption is hardly bulletproof, it seems like a good bet most of the
time, and better than prefetching pages we don't need.

This commit installs the executor infrastructure, but doesn't change
any planner cost estimates, thus possibly causing bitmap scans to
not be chosen in cases where this change renders them the best choice.
I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that we need to account for this
behavior in the planner, because I think typically the bitmap scan would
get chosen anyway if it's the best bet.  In any case the submitted patch
took way too many shortcuts, resulting in too many clearly-bad choices,
to be committable.

Tom Lane af20e2d728 Fix ALTER TABLE code to update domain constraints when needed.
It's possible for dropping a column, or altering its type, to require
changes in domain CHECK constraint expressions; but the code was
previously only expecting to find dependent table CHECK constraints.
Make the necessary adjustments.

This is a fairly old oversight, but it's a lot easier to encounter
the problem in the context of domains over composite types than it
was before.  Given the lack of field complaints, I'm not going to
bother with a back-patch, though I'd be willing to reconsider that
decision if someone does complain.

Alvaro Herrera be72b9c378 Fix autovacuum work item error handling
In autovacuum's "work item" processing, a few strings were allocated in
the current transaction's memory context, which goes away during error
handling; if an error happened during execution of the work item, the
pfree() calls to clean up afterwards would try to release already-released
memory, possibly leading to a crash.  In branch master, this was already
fixed by commit 335f3d04e4, so backpatch that to REL_10_STABLE to fix
the problem there too.

As a secondary problem, verify that the autovacuum worker is connected
to the right database for each work item; otherwise some items would be
discarded by workers in other databases.

Tom Lane d5b760ecb5 Fix crash when columns have been added to the end of a view.
expandRTE() supposed that an RTE_SUBQUERY subquery must have exactly
as many non-junk tlist items as the RTE has column aliases for it.
This was true at the time the code was written, and is still true so
far as parse analysis is concerned --- but when the function is used
during planning, the subquery might have appeared through insertion
of a view that now has more columns than it did when the outer query
was parsed.  This results in a core dump if, for instance, we have
to expand a whole-row Var that references the subquery.

To avoid crashing, we can either stop expanding the RTE when we run
out of aliases, or invent new aliases for the added columns.  While
the latter might be more useful, the former is consistent with what
expandRTE() does for composite-returning functions in the RTE_FUNCTION
case, so it seems like we'd better do it that way.

Per bug #14876 from Samuel Horwitz.  This has been busted since commit
ff1ea2173 allowed views to acquire more columns, so back-patch to all

This was always intended to work, but due to an oversight in
max_parallel_hazard_walker, it didn't.  In testing, we missed the
fact that it was only working for custom plans, where the parameter
value has been substituted for the parameter itself early enough
that everything worked.  In a generic plan, the Param node survives
and must be treated as parallel-safe.  SerializeParamList provides
for the transmission of parameter values to workers.

Tom Lane 6784d7a1dc Rethink the dependencies recorded for FieldSelect/FieldStore nodes.
On closer investigation, commits f3ea3e3e8 et al were a few bricks
shy of a load.  What we need is not so much to lock down the result
type of a FieldSelect, as to lock down the existence of the column
it's trying to extract.  Otherwise, we can break it by dropping that
column.  The dependency on the result type is then held indirectly
through the column, and doesn't need to be recorded explicitly.

Out of paranoia, I left in the code to record a dependency on the
result type, but it's used only if we can't identify the pg_class OID
for the column.  That shouldn't ever happen right now, AFAICS, but
it seems possible that in future the input node could be marked as
being of type RECORD rather than some specific composite type.

Likewise for FieldStore.

If we try to run a parallel plan in serial mode because, for example,

running in parallel), we'd incorrectly try to launch workers.
Fix by adding a flag to the EState, so that we can be certain that

idea about whether we are executing serially or in parallel.

Tom Lane 37a795a60b Support domains over composite types.
This is the last major omission in our domains feature: you can now
make a domain over anything that's not a pseudotype.

The major complication from an implementation standpoint is that places
that might be creating tuples of a domain type now need to be prepared
to apply domain_check().  It seems better that unprepared code fail
with an error like "<type> is not composite" than that it silently fail
to apply domain constraints.  Therefore, relevant infrastructure like
get_func_result_type() and lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() has been adjusted
to treat domain-over-composite as a distinct case that unprepared code
won't recognize, rather than just transparently treating it the same
as plain composite.  This isn't a 100% solution to the possibility of
overlooked domain checks, but it catches most places.

In passing, improve typcache.c's support for domains (it can now cache
the identity of a domain's base type), and rewrite the argument handling
logic in jsonfuncs.c's populate_record[set]_worker to reduce duplicative
per-call lookups.

I believe this is code-complete so far as the core and contrib code go.
The PLs need varying amounts of work, which will be tackled in followup
patches.

Tom Lane 08f1e1f0a4 Make setrefs.c match by ressortgroupref even for plain Vars.
Previously, we skipped using search_indexed_tlist_for_sortgroupref()
if the tlist expression being sought in the child plan node was merely
a Var.  This is purely an optimization, based on the theory that
search_indexed_tlist_for_var() is faster, and one copy of a Var should
be as good as another.  However, the GROUPING SETS patch broke the
latter assumption: grouping columns containing the "same" Var can
sometimes have different outputs, as shown in the test case added here.
So do it the hard way whenever a ressortgroupref marking exists.

(If this seems like a bottleneck, we could imagine building a tlist index
data structure for ressortgroupref values, as we do for Vars.  But I'll
let that idea go until there's some evidence it's worthwhile.)

Back-patch to 9.6.  The problem also exists in 9.5 where GROUPING SETS
came in, but this patch is insufficient to resolve the problem in 9.5:
there is some obscure dependency on the upper-planner-pathification
work that happened in 9.6.  Given that this is such a weird corner case,
and no end users have complained about it, it doesn't seem worth the work
to develop a fix for 9.5.

Tom Lane 896eb5efbd In the planner, delete joinaliasvars lists after we're done with them.
Although joinaliasvars lists coming out of the parser are quite simple,
those lists can contain arbitrarily complex expressions after subquery
pullup.  We do not perform expression preprocessing on them, meaning that
expressions in those lists will not meet the expectations of later phases
of the planner (for example, that they do not contain SubLinks).  This had
been thought pretty harmless, since we don't intentionally touch those
lists in later phases --- but Andreas Seltenreich found a case in which
adjust_appendrel_attrs() could recurse into a joinaliasvars list and then
die on its assertion that it never sees a SubLink.  We considered a couple
of localized fixes to prevent that specific case from looking at the
joinaliasvars lists, but really this seems like a generic hazard for all
expression processing in the planner.  Therefore, probably the best answer
is to delete the joinaliasvars lists from the parsetree at the end of
expression preprocessing, so that there are no reachable expressions that
haven't been through preprocessing.

The case Andreas found seems to be harmless in non-Assert builds, and so
far there are no field reports suggesting that there are user-visible
effects in other cases.  I considered back-patching this anyway, but
it turns out that Andreas' test doesn't fail at all in 9.4-9.6, because
in those versions adjust_appendrel_attrs contains code (added in commit
842faa714 and removed again in commit 215b43cdc) to process SubLinks
rather than complain about them.  Barring discovery of another path by
which unprocessed joinaliasvars lists can cause trouble, the most
prudent compromise seems to be to patch this into v10 but not further.

Patch by me, with thanks to Amit Langote for initial investigation
and review.

Tom Lane f3ea3e3e82 Fix some oversights in expression dependency recording.
find_expr_references() neglected to record a dependency on the result type
of a FieldSelect node, allowing a DROP TYPE to break a view or rule that
contains such an expression.  I think we'd omitted this case intentionally,
reasoning that there would always be a related dependency ensuring that the
DROP would cascade to the view.  But at least with nested field selection
expressions, that's not true, as shown in bug #14867 from Mansur Galiev.
Add the dependency, and for good measure a dependency on the node's exposed
collation.

Likewise add a dependency on the result type of a FieldStore.  I think here
the reasoning was that it'd only appear within an assignment to a field,
and the dependency on the field's column would be enough ... but having
seen this example, I think that's wrong for nested-composites cases.

Looking at nearby code, I notice we're not recording a dependency on the
exposed collation of CoerceViaIO, which seems inconsistent with our choices
for related node types.  Maybe that's OK but I'm feeling suspicious of this
code today, so let's add that; it certainly can't hurt.

This patch does not do anything to protect already-existing views, only
views created after it's installed.  But seeing that the issue has been
there a very long time and nobody noticed till now, that's probably good
enough.

Tom Lane 36ea99c84d Fix typcache's failure to treat ranges as container types.
Like the similar logic for arrays and records, it's necessary to examine
the range's subtype to decide whether the range type can support hashing.
We can omit checking the subtype for btree-defined operations, though,
since range subtypes are required to have those operations.  (Possibly
that simplification for btree cases led us to overlook that it does
not apply for hash cases.)

This is only an issue if the subtype lacks hash support, which is not
true of any built-in range type, but it's easy to demonstrate a problem
with a range type over, eg, money: you can get a "could not identify
a hash function" failure when the planner is misled into thinking that
hash join or aggregation would work.

This was born broken, so back-patch to all supported branches.
