Tom Lane 1273a15bf9 Disable cache clobber to avoid breaking postgres_fdw termination test.
Commit 93f414614 improved a pre-existing test case so that it would
show whether or not termination of the "remote" worker process happened.
This soon exposed that, when debug_invalidate_system_caches_always
(nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS) is enabled, no such termination occurs.
That's because cache invalidation forces postgres_fdw connections
to be dropped at end of transaction, so that there's no worker to
terminate.  There's a race condition as to whether the worker will
manage to get out of the BackendStatusArray before we look, but at
least on buildfarm member hyrax, it's failed twice in two attempts.

Rather than re-lobotomizing the test, let's fix this by transiently
disabling debug_invalidate_system_caches_always.  (Hooray for that
being just a GUC nowadays, rather than a compile-time option.)
If this proves not to be enough to make the test stable, we can
do the other thing instead.

Fujii Masao 8e9ea08bae Don't pass "ONLY" options specified in TRUNCATE to foreign data wrapper.
Commit 8ff1c94649 allowed TRUNCATE command to truncate foreign tables.
Previously the information about "ONLY" options specified in TRUNCATE
command were passed to the foreign data wrapper. Then postgres_fdw
constructed the TRUNCATE command to issue the remote server and
included "ONLY" options in it based on the passed information.

On the other hand, "ONLY" options specified in SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE
have no effect when accessing or modifying the remote table, i.e.,
are not passed to the foreign data wrapper. So it's inconsistent to
make only TRUNCATE command pass the "ONLY" options to the foreign data
wrapper. Therefore this commit changes the TRUNCATE command so that
it doesn't pass the "ONLY" options to the foreign data wrapper,
for the consistency with other statements. Also this commit changes
postgres_fdw so that it always doesn't include "ONLY" options in
the TRUNCATE command that it constructs.

Michael Paquier 93f4146144 Simplify tests of postgres_fdw terminating connections
The tests introduced in 32a9c0b for connections broken and
re-established rely on pg_terminate_backend() for their logic.  When
these were introduced, this function simply sent a signal to a backend
without waiting for the operation to complete, and the tests repeatedly
looked at pg_stat_activity to check if the operation was completed or
not.  Since aaf0432, it is possible to define a timeout to make
pg_terminate_backend() wait for a certain duration, so make use of it,
with a timeout reasonably large enough (3min) to give enough room for
the tests to pass even on slow machines.

Some measurements show that the tests of postgres_fdw are much faster
with this change.  For example, on my laptop, they now take 4s instead
of 6s.

Fujii Masao 8ff1c94649 Allow TRUNCATE command to truncate foreign tables.
This commit introduces new foreign data wrapper API for TRUNCATE.
It extends TRUNCATE command so that it accepts foreign tables as
the targets to truncate and invokes that API. Also it extends postgres_fdw
so that it can issue TRUNCATE command to foreign servers, by adding
new routine for that TRUNCATE API.

The information about options specified in TRUNCATE command, e.g.,
ONLY, CACADE, etc is passed to FDW via API. The list of foreign tables to
truncate is also passed to FDW. FDW truncates the foreign data sources
that the passed foreign tables specify, based on those information.
For example, postgres_fdw constructs TRUNCATE command using them
and issues it to the foreign server.

For performance, TRUNCATE command invokes the FDW routine for
TRUNCATE once per foreign server that foreign tables to truncate belong to.

Fujii Masao a3740c48eb postgres_fdw: Allow partitions specified in LIMIT TO to be imported.
Commit f49bcd4ef3 disallowed postgres_fdw to import table partitions.
Because all data can be accessed through the partitioned table which
is the root of the partitioning hierarchy, importing only partitioned
table should allow access to all the data without creating extra objects.
This is a reasonable default when importing a whole schema. But there
may be the case where users want to explicitly import one of
a partitioned tables' partitions.

For that use case, this commit allows postgres_fdw to import tables or
foreign tables which are partitions of some other table only when they
are explicitly specified in LIMIT TO clause.  It doesn't change
the behavior that any partitions not specified in LIMIT TO are
automatically excluded in IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA command.

Fujii Masao b1be3074ac postgres_fdw: Add option to control whether to keep connections open.
This commit adds a new option keep_connections that controls
whether postgres_fdw keeps the connections to the foreign server open
so that the subsequent queries can re-use them. This option can only be
specified for a foreign server. The default is on. If set to off,
all connections to the foreign server will be discarded
at the end of transaction. Closed connections will be re-established
when they are necessary by future queries using a foreign table.

This option is useful, for example, when users want to prevent
the connections from eating up the foreign servers connections
capacity.

David Rowley 9eacee2e62 Add Result Cache executor node (take 2)
Here we add a new executor node type named "Result Cache".  The planner
can include this node type in the plan to have the executor cache the
results from the inner side of parameterized nested loop joins.  This
allows caching of tuples for sets of parameters so that in the event that
the node sees the same parameter values again, it can just return the
cached tuples instead of rescanning the inner side of the join all over
again.  Internally, result cache uses a hash table in order to quickly
find tuples that have been previously cached.

For certain data sets, this can significantly improve the performance of
joins.  The best cases for using this new node type are for join problems
where a large portion of the tuples from the inner side of the join have
no join partner on the outer side of the join.  In such cases, hash join
would have to hash values that are never looked up, thus bloating the hash
table and possibly causing it to multi-batch.  Merge joins would have to
skip over all of the unmatched rows.  If we use a nested loop join with a
result cache, then we only cache tuples that have at least one join
partner on the outer side of the join.  The benefits of using a
parameterized nested loop with a result cache increase when there are
fewer distinct values being looked up and the number of lookups of each
value is large.  Also, hash probes to lookup the cache can be much faster
than the hash probe in a hash join as it's common that the result cache's
hash table is much smaller than the hash join's due to result cache only
caching useful tuples rather than all tuples from the inner side of the
join.  This variation in hash probe performance is more significant when
the hash join's hash table no longer fits into the CPU's L3 cache, but the
result cache's hash table does.  The apparent "random" access of hash
buckets with each hash probe can cause a poor L3 cache hit ratio for large
hash tables.  Smaller hash tables generally perform better.

The hash table used for the cache limits itself to not exceeding work_mem
* hash_mem_multiplier in size.  We maintain a dlist of keys for this cache
and when we're adding new tuples and realize we've exceeded the memory
budget, we evict cache entries starting with the least recently used ones
until we have enough memory to add the new tuples to the cache.

For parameterized nested loop joins, we now consider using one of these
result cache nodes in between the nested loop node and its inner node.  We
determine when this might be useful based on cost, which is primarily
driven off of what the expected cache hit ratio will be.  Estimating the
cache hit ratio relies on having good distinct estimates on the nested
loop's parameters.

For now, the planner will only consider using a result cache for
parameterized nested loop joins.  This works for both normal joins and
also for LATERAL type joins to subqueries.  It is possible to use this new
node for other uses in the future.  For example, to cache results from
correlated subqueries.  However, that's not done here due to some
difficulties obtaining a distinct estimation on the outer plan to
calculate the estimated cache hit ratio.  Currently we plan the inner plan
before planning the outer plan so there is no good way to know if a result
cache would be useful or not since we can't estimate the number of times
the subplan will be called until the outer plan is generated.

The functionality being added here is newly introducing a dependency on
the return value of estimate_num_groups() during the join search.
Previously, during the join search, we only ever needed to perform
selectivity estimations.  With this commit, we need to use
estimate_num_groups() in order to estimate what the hit ratio on the
result cache will be.   In simple terms, if we expect 10 distinct values
and we expect 1000 outer rows, then we'll estimate the hit ratio to be
99%.  Since cache hits are very cheap compared to scanning the underlying
nodes on the inner side of the nested loop join, then this will
significantly reduce the planner's cost for the join.   However, it's
fairly easy to see here that things will go bad when estimate_num_groups()
incorrectly returns a value that's significantly lower than the actual
number of distinct values.  If this happens then that may cause us to make
use of a nested loop join with a result cache instead of some other join
type, such as a merge or hash join.  Our distinct estimations have been
known to be a source of trouble in the past, so the extra reliance on them
here could cause the planner to choose slower plans than it did previous
to having this feature.  Distinct estimations are also fairly hard to
estimate accurately when several tables have been joined already or when a
WHERE clause filters out a set of values that are correlated to the
expressions we're estimating the number of distinct value for.

For now, the costing we perform during query planning for result caches
does put quite a bit of faith in the distinct estimations being accurate.
When these are accurate then we should generally see faster execution
times for plans containing a result cache.  However, in the real world, we
may find that we need to either change the costings to put less trust in
the distinct estimations being accurate or perhaps even disable this
feature by default.  There's always an element of risk when we teach the
query planner to do new tricks that it decides to use that new trick at
the wrong time and causes a regression.  Users may opt to get the old
behavior by turning the feature off using the enable_resultcache GUC.
Currently, this is enabled by default.  It remains to be seen if we'll
maintain that setting for the release.

Additionally, the name "Result Cache" is the best name I could think of
for this new node at the time I started writing the patch.  Nobody seems
to strongly dislike the name. A few people did suggest other names but no
other name seemed to dominate in the brief discussion that there was about
names. Let's allow the beta period to see if the current name pleases
enough people.  If there's some consensus on a better name, then we can
change it before the release.  Please see the 2nd discussion link below
for the discussion on the "Result Cache" name.

This removes "Add Result Cache executor node".  It seems that something
weird is going on with the tracking of cache hits and misses as
highlighted by many buildfarm animals.  It's not yet clear what the
problem is as other parts of the plan indicate that the cache did work
correctly, it's just the hits and misses that were being reported as 0.

This is especially a bad time to have the buildfarm so broken, so
reverting before too many more animals go red.

Etsuro Fujita 27e1f14563 Add support for asynchronous execution.
This implements asynchronous execution, which runs multiple parts of a
non-parallel-aware Append concurrently rather than serially to improve
performance when possible.  Currently, the only node type that can be
run concurrently is a ForeignScan that is an immediate child of such an
Append.  In the case where such ForeignScans access data on different
remote servers, this would run those ForeignScans concurrently, and
overlap the remote operations to be performed simultaneously, so it'll
improve the performance especially when the operations involve
time-consuming ones such as remote join and remote aggregation.

We may extend this to other node types such as joins or aggregates over
ForeignScans in the future.

This also adds the support for postgres_fdw, which is enabled by the
table-level/server-level option "async_capable".  The default is false.

A cross-partition update on a partitioned table is implemented as a
delete followed by an insert. With foreign partitions, this was however
causing issues, because the FDW and core may disagree on when to enable
batching.  postgres_fdw was only allowing batching for plain inserts
(CMD_INSERT) while core was trying to batch the insert component of the
cross-partition update.  Fix by restricting core to apply batching only
to plain CMD_INSERT queries.

It's possible to allow batching for cross-partition updates, but that
will require more extensive changes, so better to leave that for a

Fujii Masao f77717b298 postgres_fdw: Fix tests for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.
The regression tests added in commits 708d165ddb and 411ae64997 caused
buildfarm failures when  CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was enabled.
This commit stabilizes those tests.

The foreign server connections established by postgres_fdw behaves
differently depending on whether CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS is enabled or not.
If it's not enabled, those connections are cached. On the other hand,
if it's enabled, when the connections are established outside transaction
block, they are not cached (i.e., they are immediately closed at the end of
query that established them). So the subsequent postgres_fdw_get_connections()
cannot list those connections and postgres_fdw_disconnect() cannot close them
(because they are already closed).

When the connections are established inside transaction block, they are
cached whether CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was enabled or not. But if it's enabled,
they are immediately marked as invalid, otherwise not. This causes the
subsequent postgres_fdw_get_connections() to return different result in
"valid" column depending on whether CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was enabled or not.

This commit prevents the above differences of behavior from
affecting the regression tests.

Fujii Masao 6adc5376dc postgres_fdw: Stabilize regression test for postgres_fdw_disconnect_all().
The regression test added in commit 411ae64997 caused buildfarm failures.
The cause of them was that the order of warning messages output in the test
was not stable. To fix this, this commit sets client_min_messages to ERROR
temporarily when performing the test generating those warnings.

Fujii Masao 411ae64997 postgres_fdw: Add functions to discard cached connections.
This commit introduces two new functions postgres_fdw_disconnect()
and postgres_fdw_disconnect_all(). The former function discards
the cached connections to the specified foreign server. The latter discards
all the cached connections. If the connection is used in the current
transaction, it's not closed and a warning message is emitted.

For example, these functions are useful when users want to explicitly
close the foreign server connections that are no longer necessary and
then to prevent them from eating up the foreign servers connections
capacity.

Tomas Vondra b663a41363 Implement support for bulk inserts in postgres_fdw
Extends the FDW API to allow batching inserts into foreign tables. That
is usually much more efficient than inserting individual rows, due to
high latency for each round-trip to the foreign server.

It was possible to implement something similar in the regular FDW API,
but it was inconvenient and there were issues with reporting the number
of actually inserted rows etc. This extends the FDW API with two new
functions:

* GetForeignModifyBatchSize - allows the FDW picking optimal batch size

* ExecForeignBatchInsert - inserts a batch of rows at once

Currently, only INSERT queries support batching. Support for DELETE and
UPDATE may be added in the future.

This also implements batching for postgres_fdw. The batch size may be
specified using "batch_size" option both at the server and table level.

The initial patch version was written by me, but it was rewritten and
improved in many ways by Takayuki Tsunakawa.

In postgres_fdw, the cached connections to foreign servers will not be
closed until the local session exits if the user mappings or foreign servers
that those connections depend on are dropped. Those connections can be
leaked.

To fix that connection leak issue, after a change to a pg_foreign_server

the connections depending on that entry immediately if current
transaction has not used those connections yet. Otherwise, mark those
connections as invalid and then close them at the end of current transaction,
since they cannot be closed in the midst of the transaction using them.
Closed connections will be remade at the next opportunity if necessary.

Fujii Masao 32a9c0bdf4 postgres_fdw: reestablish new connection if cached one is detected as broken.
In postgres_fdw, once remote connections are established, they are cached
and re-used for subsequent queries and transactions. There can be some
cases where those cached connections are unavaiable, for example,
by the restart of remote server. In these cases, previously an error was
reported and the query accessing to remote server failed if new remote
transaction failed to start because the cached connection was broken.

This commit improves postgres_fdw so that new connection is remade
if broken connection is detected when starting new remote transaction.
This is useful to avoid unnecessary failure of queries when connection is
broken but can be reestablished.

Michael Paquier a6642b3ae0 Add support for partitioned tables and indexes in REINDEX
Until now, REINDEX was not able to work with partitioned tables and
indexes, forcing users to reindex partitions one by one.  This extends
REINDEX INDEX and REINDEX TABLE so as they can accept a partitioned
index and table in input, respectively, to reindex all the partitions
assigned to them with physical storage (foreign tables, partitioned
tables and indexes are then discarded).

This shares some logic with schema and database REINDEX as each
partition gets processed in its own transaction after building a list of
relations to work on.  This choice has the advantage to minimize the
number of invalid indexes to one partition with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in
the event a cancellation or failure in-flight, as the only indexes
handled at once in a single REINDEX CONCURRENTLY loop are the ones from
the partition being working on.

Isolation tests are added to emulate some cases I bumped into while
developing this feature, particularly with the concurrent drop of a
leaf partition reindexed.  However, this is rather limited as LOCK would
cause REINDEX to block in the first transaction building the list of
partitions.

Per its multi-transaction nature, this new flavor cannot run in a
transaction block, similarly to REINDEX SCHEMA, SYSTEM and DATABASE.

Tom Lane 215824f918 In postgres_fdw, don't try to ship MULTIEXPR updates to remote server.
In a statement like "UPDATE remote_tab SET (x,y) = (SELECT ...)",
we'd conclude that the statement could be directly executed remotely,
because the sub-SELECT is in a resjunk tlist item that's not examined
for shippability.  Currently that ends up crashing if the sub-SELECT
contains any remote Vars.  Prevent the crash by deeming MULTIEXEC
Params to be unshippable.

This is a bit of a brute-force solution, since if the sub-SELECT
*doesn't* contain any remote Vars, the current execution technology
would work; but that's not a terribly common use-case for this syntax,
I think.  In any case, we generally don't try to ship sub-SELECTs, so
it won't surprise anybody that this doesn't end up as a remote direct
update.  I'd be inclined to see if that general limitation can be fixed
before worrying about this case further.

Per report from Lukáš Sobotka.

so fix it.

While at it, fix some places where parameter-related infrastructure
was added with the aid of a dartboard, or perhaps with the aid of
the anti-pattern "add new stuff at the end".  It should be safe
to rearrange the contents of struct pg_conn even in released

Andrew Dunstan 6136e94dcb Superuser can permit passwordless connections on postgres_fdw
Currently postgres_fdw doesn't permit a non-superuser to connect to a
foreign server without specifying a password, or to use an
authentication mechanism that doesn't use the password. This is to avoid
using the settings and identity of the user running Postgres.

However, this doesn't make sense for all authentication methods. We
therefore allow a superuser to set "password_required 'false'" for user
mappings for the postgres_fdw. The superuser must ensure that the
foreign server won't try to rely solely on the server identity (e.g.
trust, peer, ident) or use an authentication mechanism that relies on the
password settings (e.g. md5, scram-sha-256).

This feature is a prelude to better support for sslcert and sslkey
settings in user mappings.

Previously, in postgresPlanForeignModify, we planned an UPDATE operation

targets of the UPDATE, so as to avoid unnecessary data transmission, but
if there were BEFORE ROW UPDATE triggers on the foreign table, those

away transmitting all columns if there are BEFORE ROW UPDATE triggers on

Tom Lane 8cad5adb9c Avoid postgres_fdw crash for a targetlist entry that's just a Param.
foreign_grouping_ok() is willing to put fairly arbitrary expressions into
the targetlist of a remote SELECT that's doing grouping or aggregation on
the remote side, including expressions that have no foreign component to
them at all.  This is possibly a bit dubious from an efficiency standpoint;
but it rises to the level of a crash-causing bug if the expression is just
a Param or non-foreign Var.  In that case, the expression will necessarily
also appear in the fdw_exprs list of values we need to send to the remote
server, and then setrefs.c's set_foreignscan_references will mistakenly
replace the fdw_exprs entry with a Var referencing the targetlist result.

The root cause of this problem is bad design in commit e7cb7ee14: it put
logic into set_foreignscan_references that IMV is postgres_fdw-specific,
and yet this bug shows that it isn't postgres_fdw-specific enough.  The
transformation being done on fdw_exprs assumes that fdw_exprs is to be
evaluated with the fdw_scan_tlist as input, which is not how postgres_fdw
uses it; yet it could be the right thing for some other FDW.  (In the
bigger picture, setrefs.c has no business assuming this for the other
expression fields of a ForeignScan either.)

The right fix therefore would be to expand the FDW API so that the
FDW could inform setrefs.c how it intends to evaluate these various
expressions.  We can't change that in the back branches though, and we
also can't just summarily change setrefs.c's behavior there, or we're
likely to break external FDWs.

As a stopgap, therefore, hack up postgres_fdw so that it won't attempt
to send targetlist entries that look exactly like the fdw_exprs entries
they'd produce.  In most cases this actually produces a superior plan,
IMO, with less data needing to be transmitted and returned; so we probably
ought to think harder about whether we should ship tlist expressions at
all when they don't contain any foreign Vars or Aggs.  But that's an
optimization not a bug fix so I left it for later.  One case where this
produces an inferior plan is where the expression in question is actually
a GROUP BY expression: then the restriction prevents us from using remote
grouping.  It might be possible to work around that (since that would
reduce to group-by-a-constant on the remote side); but it seems like a
pretty unlikely corner case, so I'm not sure it's worth expending effort
solely to improve that.  In any case the right long-term answer is to fix
the API as sketched above, and then revert this hack.

Per bug #15781 from Sean Johnston.  Back-patch to v10 where the problem
was introduced.

Etsuro Fujita 5c47049180 postgres_fdw: Fix incorrect handling of row movement for remote partitions.
Commit 3d956d9562 added support for update row movement in postgres_fdw.
This patch fixes the following issues introduced by that commit:

* When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an
  UPDATE subplan target rel that would be updated later, the UPDATE that
  used a direct modification plan modified those routed rows incorrectly
  because those routed rows were visible to the later UPDATE command.
  The right fix for this would be to have some way in postgres_fdw in
  which the later UPDATE command ignores those routed rows, but it seems
  hard to do so with the current infrastructure.  For now throw an error
  in that case.

* When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an
  UPDATE subplan target rel, fmstate created for the UPDATE that used a
  non-direct modification plan was mistakenly overridden by another
  fmstate created for inserting those routed rows into the partition.
  This caused 1) server crash when the partition would be updated later,
  and 2) resource leak when the partition had been already updated.  To
  avoid that, adjust the treatment of the fmstate for the inserting.  As
  for #1, since we would also have the incorrectness issue as mentioned
  above, error out in that case as well.

Update the docs to mention that postgres_fdw currently does not handle
the case where a remote partition chosen to insert a routed row into is
also an UPDATE subplan target rel that will be updated later.

Tom Lane 8edd0e7946 Suppress Append and MergeAppend plan nodes that have a single child.
If there's only one child relation, the Append or MergeAppend isn't
doing anything useful, and can be elided.  It does have a purpose
during planning though, which is to serve as a buffer between parent
and child Var numbering.  Therefore we keep it all the way through
to setrefs.c, and get rid of it only after fixing references in the
plan level(s) above it.  This works largely the same as setrefs.c's
ancient hack to get rid of no-op SubqueryScan nodes, and can even
share some code with that.

Note the change to make setrefs.c use apply_tlist_labeling rather than
ad-hoc code.  This has the effect of propagating the child's resjunk
and ressortgroupref labels, which formerly weren't propagated when
removing a SubqueryScan.  Doing that is demonstrably necessary for
the [Merge]Append cases, and seems harmless for SubqueryScan, if only
because trivial_subqueryscan is afraid to collapse cases where the
resjunk marking differs.  (I suspect that restriction could now be
removed, though it's unclear that it'd make any new matches possible,
since the outer query can't have references to a child resjunk column.)

Tom Lane 608b167f9f Allow user control of CTE materialization, and change the default behavior.
Historically we've always materialized the full output of a CTE query,
treating WITH as an optimization fence (so that, for example, restrictions
from the outer query cannot be pushed into it).  This is appropriate when
the CTE query is INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, or is recursive; but when the CTE
query is non-recursive and side-effect-free, there's no hazard of changing
the query results by pushing restrictions down.

Another argument for materialization is that it can avoid duplicate
computation of an expensive WITH query --- but that only applies if
the WITH query is called more than once in the outer query.  Even then
it could still be a net loss, if each call has restrictions that
would allow just a small part of the WITH query to be computed.

Hence, let's change the behavior for WITH queries that are non-recursive
and side-effect-free.  By default, we will inline them into the outer
query (removing the optimization fence) if they are called just once.
If they are called more than once, we will keep the old behavior by
default, but the user can override this and force inlining by specifying
NOT MATERIALIZED.  Lastly, the user can force the old behavior by
specifying MATERIALIZED; this would mainly be useful when the query had
deliberately been employing WITH as an optimization fence to prevent a
poor choice of plan.

are the only ones postgres_fdw (thought it) was handling, but we really
need different APIs for the baserel and join cases.

In HEAD, the best thing to do seems to be to split up the baserel,
joinrel, and upperrel cases into three functions so that they can
have different APIs.  I haven't actually given create_foreign_join_path
a different API in this commit: we should spend a bit of time thinking
about just what we want to do there, since perhaps FDWs would want to
do something different from the build-up-a-join-pairwise approach that
get_joinrel_parampathinfo expects.  In the meantime, since postgres_fdw
isn't prepared to generate parameterized joins anyway, just give it a
defense against trying to plan joins with lateral refs.

In addition (and this is what triggered this whole mess) fix bug #15613
from Srinivasan S A, by teaching file_fdw and postgres_fdw that plain
baserel foreign paths still have outer refs if the relation has
lateral_relids.  Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future
occurrences of the same error --- in particular, to catch other FDWs
doing that, but also as backstop against core-code mistakes like the
one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.

Bug #15613 also needs to be fixed in the back branches, but the
appropriate fix will look quite a bit different there, since we don't
want to assume that existing FDWs get the word right away.

Michael Paquier bf491a9073 Disable WAL-skipping optimization for COPY on views and foreign tables
COPY can skip writing WAL when loading data on a table which has been
created in the same transaction as the one loading the data, however
this cannot work on views or foreign table as this would result in
trying to flush relation files which do not exist.  So disable the
optimization so as commands are able to work the same way with any
configuration of wal_level.

Tests are added to cover the different cases, which need to have
wal_level set to minimal to allow the problem to show up, and that is
not the default configuration.

Etsuro Fujita f8f6e44676 postgres_fdw: Improve cost and size estimation for aggregate pushdown.
In commit 7012b132d0, which added aggregate
pushdown to postgres_fdw, we didn't account for the evaluation cost and the
selectivity of HAVING quals attached to ForeignPaths performing aggregate
pushdown, as core had never accounted for that for AggPaths and GroupPaths.
And we didn't set these values of the locally-checked quals (ie, fpinfo's
local_conds_cost and local_conds_sel), which were initialized to zeros, but
since estimate_path_cost_size factors in these to estimate the result size
and the evaluation cost of such a ForeignPath when the use_remote_estimate
option is enabled, this caused it to produce underestimated results in that
case.

By commit 7b6c075471 core was changed so that
it accounts for the evaluation cost and the selectivity of HAVING quals in
aggregation paths, so change the postgres_fdw's aggregate pushdown code as
well as such.  This not only fixes the underestimation issue mentioned
above, but improves the estimation using local statistics in that function
when that option is disabled.

This would be a bug fix rather than an improvement, but apply it to HEAD
only to avoid destabilizing existing plan choices.

Andres Freund 578b229718 Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.
Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction
of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column,
but as part of the tuple header.

This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd,
as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important
parts of a row.  Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the
oid column by default.

The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a
significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That
already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make
table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating
that "specialness" significantly.

WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0).
Remove it.

Removing includes:
- CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be
  WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out)
- pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will
  issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column).
- restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when
  restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column)
- COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids.
- pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH
  OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first.
- Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like
  plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed.

The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false)
for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of
support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that
do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them.

The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This
commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally
declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the
newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column
naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such.  This obviously
requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via
HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column.

The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in
genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest
oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above
FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the
special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed.

Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all
backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For
the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for
the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog
tables).

The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns
means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded
by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid,
previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid
column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either
have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the
line.

While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the
scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this
now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit
after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other
patches.

Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

Etsuro Fujita 7cfdc77023 Disable support for partitionwise joins in problematic cases.
Commit f49842d, which added support for partitionwise joins, built the
child's tlist by applying adjust_appendrel_attrs() to the parent's.  So in
the case where the parent's included a whole-row Var for the parent, the
child's contained a ConvertRowtypeExpr.  To cope with that, that commit
added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still
assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars
and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors:

* When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin
  path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not
  find pathkey item to sort' error.
* When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a
  subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw
  the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error.
* When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by
  contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child
  join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target
  lists' error.

To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and
one by me.  While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a
ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the
child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later,
But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise
join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead.  We don't need to
handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit
also removes the changes to the planner.

Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child
separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also
required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it
would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through
the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation.  So this commit builds that
list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as
well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before
partitionwise join went in.

Back-patch to PG11 where partitionwise join was introduced.

Report by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.  Analysis by Ashutosh Bapat, who also
provided some of regression tests.  Patch by me, reviewed by Robert Haas.
