We currently have several sets of files generated from data provided
by Unicode. These all have ad hoc rules and instructions for updating
when new Unicode versions appear, and it's not done consistently.
This patch centralizes and automates the process and makes it part of
the release checklist. The Unicode and CLDR versions are specified in
Makefile.global.in. There is a new make target "update-unicode" that
downloads all the relevant files and runs the generation script.
There is also a new script for generating the table of combining
characters for ucs_wcwidth(). That table is now in a separate include
file rather than hardcoded into the middle of other code. This is
based on the script that was used for generating
d8594d123c, but the script itself wasn't
committed at that time.

Use the parser's standard type coercion machinery to convert the
output column(s) of a SQL function's final SELECT or RETURNING
to the type(s) they should have according to the function's declared
result type. We'll allow any case where an assignment-level
coercion is available. Previously, we failed unless the required
coercion was a binary-compatible one (and the documentation ignored
this, falsely claiming that the types must match exactly).
Notably, the coercion now accounts for typmods, so that cases where
a SQL function is declared to return a composite type whose columns
are typmod-constrained now behave as one would expect. Arguably
this aspect is a bug fix, but the overall behavioral change here
seems too large to consider back-patching.
A nice side-effect is that functions can now be inlined in a
few cases where we previously failed to do so because of type
mismatches.

ALTER TABLE failed if a column referenced in a GENERATED expression

That's because the GENERATED expression needs to be evaluated

Since the WAL flush position only moves forward, it's safe to cache
its previous value within each walsender process, and update from
shared memory only once we've caught up to the previously-seen value.
When there are many active walsenders, this makes for a very significant
reduction in the amount of contention on the XLogCtl->info_lck spinlock.
This patch also adjusts the logic so that we update our idea of the
flush position after processing a WAL record, rather than beforehand.
This may cause us to realize we're not caught up when the preceding
coding would've thought that we were, but that seems all to the good;
it may avoid a useless sleep-and-wakeup cycle.
Back-patch to v12. The contention problem exists in prior branches,

Commit 558a9165e0 taught _bt_delitems_delete() to produce its own XID
horizon on the primary. Standbys no longer needed to generate their own
latestRemovedXid, since they could just use the explicitly logged value
from the primary instead. The deleted offset numbers array from the
xl_btree_delete WAL record was no longer used by the REDO routine for
anything other than deleting the items.
This enables a minor optimization: We now treat the array as buffer
state, not generic WAL data, following _bt_delitems_vacuum()'s example.
This should be a minor win, since it allows us to avoid including the
deleted items array in cases where XLogInsert() stores the whole buffer
anyway. The primary goal here is to make the code more maintainable,
though. Removing inessential differences between the two functions
highlights the fundamental differences that remain.
Also change xl_btree_delete to use uint32 for the size of the array of
item offsets being deleted. This brings xl_btree_delete closer to
xl_btree_vacuum. Furthermore, it seems like a good idea to use an
explicit-width integer type (the field was previously an "int").

On further reflection about commit 4d02eb017, it occurs to me that
expandRTE() had better agree with what addRangeTableEntryForFunction()
is doing. So teach that about functions possibly having typmods, too.
One code path in addRangeTableEntryForFunction() neglected to assign
a collation to the tupdesc entry it constructs (which is a bit odd
considering the other path did do so). This didn't matter before commit
5815696bc, because nothing would look at the type data in this tupdesc;
but now it does.
While at it, make sure we assign the correct typmod as well. Most
function expressions don't have a determinate typmod, but some do.
Per buildfarm, which showed failures in non-C collations, a case
I'd not thought to test for this patch :-(
When I added the ParseNamespaceItem data structure (in commit 5ebaaa494),
it wasn't very tightly integrated into the parser's APIs. In the wake of
adding p_rtindex to that struct (commit b541e9acc), there is a good reason
to make more use of it: by passing around ParseNamespaceItem pointers
instead of bare RTE pointers, we can get rid of various messy methods for
passing back or deducing the rangetable index of an RTE during parsing.
Hence, refactor the addRangeTableEntryXXX functions to build and return
a ParseNamespaceItem struct, not just the RTE proper; and replace
addRTEtoQuery with addNSItemToQuery, which is passed a ParseNamespaceItem
rather than building one internally.
Also, add per-column data (a ParseNamespaceColumn array) to each
ParseNamespaceItem. These arrays are built during addRangeTableEntryXXX,
where we have column type data at hand so that it's nearly free to fill
the data structure. Later, when we need to build Vars referencing RTEs,
we can use the ParseNamespaceColumn info to avoid the rather expensive
operations done in get_rte_attribute_type() or expandRTE().
get_rte_attribute_type() is indeed dead code now, so I've removed it.
This makes for a useful improvement in parse analysis speed, around 20%
in one moderately-complex test query.
The ParseNamespaceColumn structs also include Var identity information
(varno/varattno). That info isn't actually being used in this patch,
except that p_varno == 0 is a handy test for a dropped column.
A follow-on patch will make more use of it.

_bt_delitems_vacuum() comments claimed that it isn't worth another scan
of the page to avoid falsely unsetting the BTP_HAS_GARBAGE page flag
hint (this happens to be the same wording that was removed from
_bt_delitems_delete() by my recent commit fe97c61c). The comments made
little sense, though. The issue can't have much to do with performing a
second scan of the target leaf page, since an LP_DEAD test could easily
be performed in the first scan of the page anyway (the scan that takes
place in btvacuumpage() caller).
Revise the explanation. It makes much more sense to frame this as an
issue about recovery conflicts. _bt_delitems_vacuum() cannot easily
generate an XID cutoff in the same way that _bt_delitems_delete() is
designed to.
Falsely unsetting the page flag is not ideal, and is likely to happen
more often than was supposed by the original comments. Explain why it
usually isn't a problem in practice. There may be an argument for
_bt_delitems_vacuum() not clearing the BTP_HAS_GARBAGE bit, removing the
question of it being falsely unset by VACUUM (there may even be an
argument for not using a page level hint at all). This can be revisited
later.
Commit fe97c61c updated LP_DEAD item deletion comments, but missed a
minor discrepancy on the REDO side. Fix it now.
In passing, don't talk about the btree_xlog_vacuum() behavior within
btree_xlog_delete(). The reliance on XLOG_HEAP2_CLEANUP_INFO records
for recovery conflicts is already discussed within btvacuumpage() and
mentioned again in passing above btree_xlog_vacuum(), which seems
sufficient.
Use __builtin_clz() where available. Where it isn't, we can still win
a little by using the pg_leftmost_one_pos[] lookup table instead of
having a private table.
Also drop the initial right shift by ALLOC_MINBITS in favor of
subtracting ALLOC_MINBITS from the leftmost-one-pos result. This
is a win because the compiler can fold that adjustment into other
constants it'd have to add anyway, making the shift-removal free.
Also, we can explain this coding as an unrolled form of
pg_leftmost_one_pos32(), even though that's a bit ahistorical
since it long predates pg_bitutils.h.

This operation was possible for the owner of the schema or a superuser.
Down to 9.4, doing this operation would cause inconsistencies in a

consequence is a crash of autovacuum on an assertion failure when
logging information about an orphaned temp table dropped. Note that
because of 246a6c8 (present in v11~), which has made the removal of

Instead of passing around a pointer to the RangeTblEntry that
provides the desired column, pass a pointer to the associated
ParseNamespaceItem. The RTE is trivially reachable from the nsitem,
and having the ParseNamespaceItem allows access to additional
information. As proof of concept for that, add the rangetable index
to ParseNamespaceItem, and use that to get rid of RTERangeTablePosn
searches.
(I have in mind to teach the parser to generate some different
representation for Vars that are nullable by outer joins, and
keeping the necessary information in ParseNamespaceItems seems
like a reasonable approach to that. But whether that ever
happens or not, this seems like good cleanup.)

Formerly the rd_partkey and rd_partdesc data structures were always
populated immediately when a relcache entry was built or rebuilt.
This patch changes things so that they are populated only when they
are first requested. (Hence, callers *must* now always use
RelationGetPartitionKey or RelationGetPartitionDesc; just fetching
the pointer directly is no longer acceptable.)
This seems to have some performance benefits, but the main reason to do
it is that it eliminates a recursive-reload failure that occurs if the
partkey or partdesc expressions contain any references to the relation's
rowtype (as discovered by Amit Langote). In retrospect, since loading
these data structures might result in execution of nearly-arbitrary code
via eval_const_expressions, it was a dumb idea to require that to happen
during relcache entry rebuild.
Also, fix things so that old copies of a relcache partition descriptor
will be dropped when the cache entry's refcount goes to zero. In the
previous coding it was possible for such copies to survive for the
lifetime of the session, as I'd complained of in a previous discussion.
(This management technique still isn't perfect, but it's better than
before.) Improve the commentary explaining how that works and why
it's safe to hand out direct pointers to these relcache substructures.
In passing, improve RelationBuildPartitionDesc by using the same
memory-context-parent-swap approach used by RelationBuildPartitionKey,
thereby making it less dependent on strong assumptions about what
partition_bounds_copy does. Avoid doing get_rel_relkind in the
critical section, too.

might as well start being explicit about the number of items now.

The previous coding imagined that it could call before_shmem_exit()
when a non-exclusive backup began and then remove the previously-added
handler by calling cancel_before_shmem_exit() when that backup
ended. However, this only works provided that nothing else in the
system has registered a before_shmem_exit() hook in the interim,
because cancel_before_shmem_exit() is documented to remove a callback
only if it is the latest callback registered. It also only works
if nothing can ERROR out between the time that sessionBackupState
is reset and the time that cancel_before_shmem_exit(), which doesn't
seem to be strictly true.
To fix, leave the handler installed for the lifetime of the session,
arrange to install it just once, and teach it to quietly do nothing if
there isn't a non-exclusive backup in process.
This is a bug, but for now I'm not going to back-patch, because the

The new function, heap_fetch_toast_slice, is shared between
toast_fetch_datum_slice and toast_fetch_datum, and does all the
work of scanning the TOAST table, fetching chunks, and storing
them into the space allocated for the result varlena.
As an incidental side effect, this allows toast_fetch_datum_slice

Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes
between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent
but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for
inheritance tree and partitions). This makes use of attribute mappings,
which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length
matching the number of attributes of the outer relation. The length of
the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the
mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect
mapping length.
This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves
it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from
tupconvert.c. This merges the attribute mapping with its length,
avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this
is computed once, when the map is built.
This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in dc816e58, which has
used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of
attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer
relation (a partitioned table).

If CheckAttributeType() threw an error about the datatype of an
index expression column, it would report an empty column name,
which is pretty unhelpful and certainly not the intended behavior.
I (tgl) evidently broke this in commit cfc5008a5, by not noticing
that the column's attname was used above where I'd placed the
assignment of it.
In HEAD and v12, this is trivially fixable by moving up the
assignment of attname. Before v12 the code is a bit more messy;
to avoid doing substantial refactoring, I took the lazy way out
and just put in two copies of the assignment code.

Commit d5406dea25 used a slightly
novel, and wrong, approach to compute the length of the last
toast chunk. It worked fine unless the last chunk happened to
have the largest possible size.
Rework some of the checks for bad TOAST chunks to be a bit simpler
and easier to understand. These checks verify that (1) we get all
and only the chunk numbers we expect to see and (2) each chunk has
the expected size. However, the existing code was a bit hard to
understand, at least for me; try to make it clearer.
As part of that, have toast_fetch_datum_slice check the relationship
between endchunk and totalchunks only with an Assert() rather than
checking every chunk number against both values. There's no need to
check that relationship in production builds because it's not a
function of whether on-disk corruption is present; it's just a
question of whether the code does the right math.
Also, have toast_fetch_datum_slice() use ereport(ERROR) rather than
elog(ERROR). Commit fd6ec93bf8 made
the two functions inconsistent with each other.
Rename assorted variables for better clarity and consistency, and
move assorted variables from function scope to the function's main

The RTE_RESULT simplification logic added by commit 4be058fe9 had a
flaw: it would collapse out a RTE_RESULT that is due to compute a
PlaceHolderVar, and reassign the PHV to the parent join level, even if
another input relation of the join contained a lateral reference to
the PHV. That can't work because the PHV would be computed too late.
In practice it led to failures of internal sanity checks later in
planning (either assertion failures or errors such as "failed to
construct the join relation").
To fix, add code to check for the presence of such PHVs in relevant
portions of the query tree. Notably, this required refactoring
range_table_walker so that a caller could ask to walk individual RTEs
not the whole list. (It might be a good idea to refactor
range_table_mutator in the same way, if only to keep those functions
looking similar; but I didn't do so here as it wasn't necessary for
the bug fix.)
This exercise also taught me that find_dependent_phvs(), as it stood,
could only safely be used on the entire Query, not on subtrees.
Adjust its API to reflect that; which in passing allows it to have
a fast path for the common case of no PHVs anywhere.

The bug was similar to the one that was fixed in commit 22251686f0. When
we split page X and insert the downlink for the new page, the parent page

we remembered for X is no longer valid. We correctly called
gistFindCorrectParent() to re-find it, but gistFindCorrectParent() doesn't
do anything if the LSN of the page hasn't changed, and we stopped updating
LSNs during index build in commit 9155580fd5. The buggy codepath was taken
if the page was split into three or more pages, and inserting the downlink

This patch causes EXPLAIN to always assign a separate table alias to the
parent RTE of an append relation (inheritance set); before, such RTEs
were ignored if not actually scanned by the plan. Since the child RTEs
now always have that same alias to start with (cf. commit 55a1954da),
the net effect is that the parent RTE usually gets the alias used or
implied by the query text, and the children all get that alias with "_N"
appended. (The exception to "usually" is if there are duplicate aliases
in different subtrees of the original query; then some of those original
RTEs will also have "_N" appended.)
This results in more uniform output for partitioned-table plans than
we had before: the partitioned table itself gets the original alias,
and all child tables have aliases with "_N", rather than the previous
behavior where one of the children would get an alias without "_N".
The reason for giving the parent RTE an alias, even if it isn't scanned
by the plan, is that we now use the parent's alias to qualify Vars that
refer to an appendrel output column and appear above the Append or
MergeAppend that computes the appendrel. But below the append, Vars
refer to some one of the child relations, and are displayed that way.
This seems clearer than the old behavior where a Var that could carry
values from any child relation was displayed as if it referred to only
one of them.
While at it, change ruleutils.c so that the code paths used by EXPLAIN
deal in Plan trees not PlanState trees. This effectively reverts a
decision made in commit 1cc29fe7c, which seemed like a good idea at
the time to make ruleutils.c consistent with explain.c. However,
it's problematic because we'd really like to allow executor startup
pruning to remove all the children of an append node when possible,
leaving no child PlanState to resolve Vars against. (That's not done
here, but will be in the next patch.) This requires different handling
of subplans and initplans than before, but is otherwise a pretty
straightforward change.

Since its inception, our Windows signal emulation code has worked by
running a main signal thread that just watches for incoming signal
requests, and then spawns a new thread to handle each such request.
That design is meant for servers in which requests can take substantial
effort to process, and it's worth parallelizing the handling of
requests. But those assumptions are just bogus for our signal code.
It's not much more than pg_queue_signal(), which is cheap and can't
parallelize at all, plus we don't really expect lots of signals to
arrive at the same backend at once. More importantly, this approach
creates failure modes that we could do without: either inability to
spawn a new thread or inability to create a new pipe handle will risk
loss of signals. Hence, dispense with the separate per-signal threads
and just service each request in-line in the main signal thread. This
should be a bit faster (for the normal case of one signal at a time)
as well as more robust.

In the worst case, it seems, effective delivery of the signal could be

When creating a uniqueness constraint using a pre-existing index,
we have always required that the index have the same properties you'd
get if you just let a new index get built. However, when collations
were added, we forgot to add the index's collation to that check.
It's hard to trip over this without intentionally trying to break it:
you'd have to explicitly specify a different collation in CREATE
INDEX, then convert it to a pkey or unique constraint. Still, if you
did that, pg_dump would emit a script that fails to reproduce the
index's collation. The main practical problem is that after a
pg_upgrade the index would be corrupt, because its actual physical
order wouldn't match what pg_index says. A more theoretical issue,
which is new as of v12, is that if you create the index with a
nondeterministic collation then it wouldn't be enforcing the normal
notion of uniqueness, causing the constraint to mean something
different from a normally-created constraint.
To fix, just add collation to the conditions checked for index
acceptability in ADD PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE USING INDEX. We won't try
to clean up after anybody who's already created such a situation;
it seems improbable enough to not be worth the effort involved.
(If you do get into trouble, a REINDEX should be enough to fix it.)
In principle this is a long-standing bug, but I chose not to

Error messages referring to incorrect WAL segment names could have been
generated for a fsync() failure or when creating a new segment at the
end of recovery.
XLogFileNameP() is a wrapper routine able to build a palloc'd string for
a WAL segment name, which is used for error string generation. There
were several code paths where it gets called in a critical section,
where memory allocation is not allowed. This results in triggering
an assertion failure instead of generating the wanted error message.
Another, more annoying, problem is that if the allocation to generate
the WAL segment name fails on OOM, then the failure would be escalated
to a PANIC.
This removes the routine and all its callers are replaced with a logic
using a fixed-size buffer. This way, all the existing mistakes are
fixed and future ones are prevented.

If an inheritance/partitioning parent table is assigned some column
alias names in the query, EXPLAIN mapped those aliases onto the
child tables' columns by physical position, resulting in bogus output
if a child table's columns aren't one-for-one with the parent's.
To fix, make expand_single_inheritance_child() generate a correctly
re-mapped column alias list, rather than just copying the parent
RTE's alias node. (We have to fill the alias field, not just
adjust the eref field, because ruleutils.c will ignore eref in
favor of looking at the real column names.)
This means that child tables will now always have alias fields in
plan rtables, where before they might not have. That results in
a rather substantial set of regression test output changes:
EXPLAIN will now always show child tables with aliases that match
the parent table (usually with "_N" appended for uniqueness).
But that seems like a net positive for understandability, since
the parent alias corresponds to something that actually appeared
in the original query, while the child table names didn't.
(Note that this does not change anything for cases where an explicit
table alias was written in the query for the parent table; it
just makes cases without such aliases behave similarly to that.)
Hence, while we could avoid these subsidiary changes if we made
inherit.c more complicated, we choose not to.

We implement ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS by truncating tables marked that
way, which requires also truncating/rebuilding their indexes. But
RelationTruncateIndexes asks the relcache for up-to-date copies of any
index expressions, which may cause execution of eval_const_expressions
on them, which can result in actual execution of subexpressions.
This is a bad thing to have happening during ON COMMIT. Manuel Rigger
reported that use of a SQL function resulted in crashes due to
expectations that ActiveSnapshot would be set, which it isn't.
The most obvious fix perhaps would be to push a snapshot during
PreCommit_on_commit_actions, but I think that would just open the door
to more problems: CommitTransaction explicitly expects that no
user-defined code can be running at this point.
Fortunately, since we know that no tuples exist to be indexed, there
seems no need to use the real index expressions or predicates during

When picking the best extended statistics object for a list of clauses,
it's not enough to look at attnums extracted from the clause list as a
whole. Consider for example this query with OR clauses:
SELECT * FROM t WHERE (t.a = 1) OR (t.b = 1) OR (t.c = 1)
with a statistics defined on columns (a,b). Relying on attnums extracted
from the whole OR clause, we'd consider the statistics usable. That does
not work, as we see the conditions as a single OR-clause, referencing an
attribute not covered by the statistic, leading to empty list of clauses
to be estimated using the statistics and an assert failure.
This changes choose_best_statistics to check which clauses are actually
covered, and only using attributes from the fully covered ones. For the
previous example this means the statistics object will not be considered
as compatible with the OR-clause.
Backpatch to 12, where MCVs were introduced. The issue does not affect

The fix for CVE-2017-7484 disallowed use of pg_statistic data for
planning purposes if the user would not be able to select the associated
column and a non-leakproof function is to be applied to the statistics
values. That turns out to disable use of pg_statistic data in some
common cases involving inheritance/partitioning, where the user does
have permission to select from the parent table that was actually named
in the query, but not from a child table whose stats are needed. Since,
in non-corner cases, the user *can* select the child table's data via
the parent, this restriction is not actually useful from a security
standpoint. Improve the logic so that we also check the permissions of
the originally-named table, and allow access if select permission exists
for that.
When checking access to stats for a simple child column, we can map
the child column number back to the parent, and perform this test
exactly (including not allowing access if the child column isn't
exposed by the parent). For expression indexes, the current logic
just insists on whole-table select access, and this patch allows
access if the user can select the whole parent table. In principle,
if the child table has extra columns, this might allow access to
stats on columns the user can't read. In practice, it's unlikely
that the planner is going to do any stats calculations involving
expressions that are not visible to the query, so we'll ignore that
fine point for now. Perhaps someday we'll improve that logic to
detect exactly which columns are used by an expression index ...
but today is not that day.
Back-patch to v11. The issue was created in 9.2 and up by the
CVE-2017-7484 fix, but this patch depends on the append_rel_array[]

fixing v11 and later should satisfy much of the practical need.

data corruption.
This commit adds a new sanity check in pg_fsync() based on fcntl() to
make sure that we don't repeat again mistakes with incorrectly-set file
descriptors so as problems are detected at an early stage. Without
that, such errors could only be detected after running Postgres on a
specific supported platform for the culprit code path, which could take
some time before being found. b8e19b93 was a fix for such a problem,
which got undetected for more than 5 years, and a586cc4b fixed another

according to the particular conditions of each environment. There's a
lot of commonality, so we can refactor that into a single routine
WALRead in XLogReader, and move the differences to a separate (simpler)
callback that just opens the next WAL-segment. This results in a
clearer (ahem) code flow.
The error reporting needs are covered by filling in a new error-info

If LISTEN is the only action in a serializable-mode transaction,
and the session was not previously listening, and the notify queue
is not empty, predicate.c reported an assertion failure. That
happened because we'd acquire the transaction's initial snapshot
during PreCommit_Notify, which was called *after* predicate.c
expects any such snapshot to have been established.
To fix, just swap the order of the PreCommit_Notify and
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure calls during CommitTransaction.
This will imply holding the notify-insertion lock slightly longer,
but the difference could only be meaningful in serializable mode,
which is an expensive option anyway.
It appears that this is just an assertion failure, with no
consequences in non-assert builds. A snapshot used only to scan
the notify queue could not have been involved in any serialization
conflicts, so there would be nothing for
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure to do except assign it a
prepareSeqNo and set the SXACT_FLAG_PREPARED flag. And given no
conflicts, neither of those omissions affect the behavior of
ReleasePredicateLocks. This admittedly once-over-lightly analysis
is backed up by the lack of field reports of trouble.

This patch ensures that, if any notify messages were received during
a just-finished transaction, they get sent to the frontend just before
not just after the ReadyForQuery message. With libpq and other client
libraries that act similarly, this guarantees that the client will see
the notify messages as available as soon as it thinks the transaction
is done.
This probably makes no difference in practice, since in realistic
use-cases the application would have to cope with asynchronous
arrival of notify events anyhow. However, it makes it a lot easier
to build cross-session-notify test cases with stable behavior.
I'm a bit surprised now that we've not seen any buildfarm instability
with the test cases added by commit b10f40bf0. Tests that I intend

This function wasn't touched in commit 51004c717, but that turns out

that exists in the NOTIFY queue on account of our being lazy about
advancing the queue tail. Notably, the isolation tests now fail
if run twice without a server restart between, because async-notify's
first test of the function will already show a positive value.
It seems likely that end users would be equally unhappy about the
result's instability. To fix, just make the function call
asyncQueueAdvanceTail before computing its result. That should end
in producing the same value as before, and it's hard to believe that
there's any practical use-case where pg_notification_queue_usage()
is called so often as to create a performance degradation, especially
compared to what we did before.
Out of paranoia, also mark this function parallel-restricted (it
was volatile, but parallel-safe by default, before). Although the
code seems to work fine when run in a parallel worker, that's outside
the design scope of async.c, and it's a bit scary to have intentional
side-effects happening in a parallel worker. There seems no plausible
use-case where it'd be important to try to parallelize this, so let's
not take any risk of introducing new bugs.

slot_modify_cstrings seriously abused the TupleTableSlot API by relying
on a slot's underlying data to stay valid across ExecClearTuple. Since
this abuse was also quite undocumented, it's little surprise that the
case got broken during the v12 slot rewrites. As reported in bug #16129
from Ondřej Jirman, this could lead to crashes or data corruption when
a logical replication subscriber processes a row update. Problems would
only arise if the subscriber's table contained columns of pass-by-ref
types that were not being copied from the publisher.
Fix by explicitly copying the datum/isnull arrays from the source slot
that the old row was in already. This ends up being about the same
thing that happened pre-v12, but hopefully in a less opaque and
fragile way.

While a self-referential view doesn't actually work, it's possible
to create one, and it turns out that this breaks some of the
information_schema views. Those views call relation_is_updatable(),
which neglected to consider the hazards of being recursive. In
older PG versions you get a "stack depth limit exceeded" error,
but since v10 it'd recurse to the point of stack overrun and crash,
because commit a4c35ea1c took out the expression_returns_set() call
that was incidentally checking the stack depth.
Since this function is only used by information_schema views, it
seems like it'd be better to return "not updatable" than suffer
an error. Hence, add tracking of what views we're examining,
in just the same way that the nearby fireRIRrules() code detects
self-referential views. I added a check_stack_depth() call too,
just to be defensive.

Previously DROP DATABASE generated as many XLOG_DBASE_DROP WAL records
as the number of tablespaces that the database to drop uses. This caused

that full scan. This could make the recovery time longer especially
when shared_buffers is large.
This commit changes DROP DATABASE so that it generates only one

shared_buffers only once, and which may improve the recovery performance.

Trying to use hypothetical indexes with BRIN currently fails when trying
to access a relation that does not exist when looking for the

should be fine enough in most cases.
Being able to refine or enforce the hypothetical costs in more

Make patternsel_common() select the comparison operators to use with
hardwired logic that matches pattern_prefix()'s new logic, eliminating
its dependencies on particular index opfamilies.
This shouldn't change any behavior, as it's just replacing runtime
operator lookups with the same values hard-wired. But it makes these
closely-related functions look more alike, and saving some runtime
syscache lookups is worth something.
Actually, it's not quite true that this is zero behavioral change:
when estimating for a column of type "name", the comparison constant
will be kept as "text" not coerced to "name". But that's more correct
anyway, and it allows additional simplification of the coercion logic,
again syncing this more closely with pattern_prefix().

Historically, the planner's LIKE/regex index optimizations were only
carried out for specific index opfamilies. That's never been a great
idea from the standpoint of extensibility, but it didn't matter so
much as long as we had no practical way to extend such behaviors anyway.
With the addition of planner support functions, and in view of ongoing
work to support additional table and index AMs, it seems like a good
time to relax this.
Hence, recast the decisions in match_pattern_prefix() so that rather
than decide which operators to generate by looking at what the index
opfamily contains, we decide which operators to generate a-priori
and then see if the opfamily supports them. This is much more
defensible from a semantic standpoint anyway, since we know the
semantics of the chosen operators precisely, and we only need to
assume that the opfamily correctly implements operators it claims
to support.
The existing "pattern" opfamilies put a crimp in this approach, since
we need to select the pattern operators if we want those to work.
So we still have to special-case those opfamilies. But that seems
all right, since in view of the addition of collations, the pattern
opfamilies seem like a legacy hack that nobody will be building on.
The only immediate effect of this change, so far as the core code is
concerned, is that anchored LIKE/regex patterns can be mapped onto
BRIN index searches, and exact-match patterns can be mapped onto hash
indexes, not only btree and spgist indexes as before. That's not a
terribly exciting result, but it does fix an omission mentioned in
the ancient comments here.
Note: no catversion bump, even though this touches pg_operator.dat,
because it's only adding OID macros not changing the contents of
postgres.bki.

The planner's optimization code for LIKE and regex operators could
error out with a complaint like "no = operator for opfamily NNN"
if someone created a binary-compatible index (for example, a
bpchar_ops index on a text column) on the LIKE's left argument.
This is a consequence of careless refactoring in commit 74dfe58a5.
The old code in match_special_index_operator only accepted specific
combinations of the pattern operator and the index opclass, thereby
indirectly guaranteeing that the opclass would have a comparison
operator with the same LHS input type as the pattern operator.
While moving the logic out to a planner support function, I simplified
that test in a way that no longer guarantees that. Really though we'd
like an altogether weaker dependency on the opclass, so rather than
put back exactly the old code, just allow lookup failure. I have in
mind now to rewrite this logic completely, but this is the minimum
change needed to fix the bug in v12.

Instead of deciding to serialize a transaction merely based on the
number of changes in that xact (toplevel or subxact), this makes
the decisions based on amount of memory consumed by the changes.
The memory limit is defined by a new logical_decoding_work_mem GUC,
so for example we can do this
SET logical_decoding_work_mem = '128kB'
to reduce the memory usage of walsenders or set the higher value to
reduce disk writes. The minimum value is 64kB.
When adding a change to a transaction, we account for the size in
two places. Firstly, in the ReorderBuffer, which is then used to
decide if we reached the total memory limit. And secondly in the
transaction the change belongs to, so that we can pick the largest
transaction to evict (and serialize to disk).
We still use max_changes_in_memory when loading changes serialized
to disk. The trouble is we can't use the memory limit directly as
there might be multiple subxact serialized, we need to read all of
them but we don't know how many are there (and which subxact to
read first).
We do not serialize the ReorderBufferTXN entries, so if there is a
transaction with many subxacts, most memory may be in this type of
objects. Those records are not included in the memory accounting.
We also do not account for INTERNAL_TUPLECID changes, which are
kept in a separate list and not evicted from memory. Transactions
with many CTID changes may consume significant amounts of memory,
but we can't really do much about that.
The current eviction algorithm is very simple - the transaction is
picked merely by size, while it might be useful to also consider age
(LSN) of the changes for example. With the new Generational memory
allocator, evicting the oldest changes would make it more likely
the memory gets actually pfreed.
The logical_decoding_work_mem can be set in postgresql.conf, in which
case it serves as the default for all publishers on that instance.

reloptions.h includes since ba748f7 a set of macros to handle reloption
types in a way similar to how parseRelOptions() works. They have never
been used in the core code, and we have more simple methods now to parse
and fill in rd_options for a given relation depending on its relkind, so
remove this interface to simplify things.
Per discussion between Amit Langote, Álvaro Herrera and me.

Partitioned tables do not have relation options yet, but, similarly to
what's done for views which have their own parsing table, it could make
sense to introduce new parameters for some of the existing default ones
like fillfactor, autovacuum, etc. Splitting things has the advantage to
make the information stored in rd_options include only the necessary
information, reducing the amount of memory used for a relcache entry
with partitioned tables if new reloptions are introduced at this level.
