It was previously thought that remove_useless_groupby_columns() needed to
keep track of which constraints the generated plan depended upon, however,
this is unnecessary. The confusion likely arose regarding this because of
check_functional_grouping(), which does need to track the dependency to
ensure VIEWs with columns which are functionally dependant on the GROUP BY
remain so. For remove_useless_groupby_columns(), cached plans will just
become invalidated when the primary key's underlying index is removed
through the normal relcache invalidation code.
Here we just remove the unneeded code which records the dependency and
updates the comments. The previous comments claimed that we could not use
UNIQUE constraints for the same optimization due to lack of a
pg_constraint record for NOT NULL constraints (which are required because
NULLs can be duplicated in a unique index). Since we don't actually need a
pg_constraint record to handle the invalidation, it looks like we could
add code to do this in the future. But not today.
We're not really fixing any bug in the code here, this fix is just to set
the record straight on UNIQUE constraints. This code was added back in
9.6, but due to lack of any bug, we'll not be backpatching this.

Since 0d8c9c1, pg_basebackup would generate an error if connected to a
backend version older than 12 where backup manifests are not supported.
Avoiding this error is possible by using the --no-manifest option.
This error handling could be confusing for some users, where patching a
backup script that interacts with multiple backend versions would cause
the addition of --no-manifest to potentially not generate a backup
manifest even for Postgres 13 and newer versions. As we want to
encourage the use of backup manifests as much as possible, this commit
silently disables manifests where not supported, instead of generating
an error.
While on it, rework a bit the code to make it more consistent with the

A comment from the Berkeley days incorrectly claimed that the page
management code cares about the contents of the hole in the center of
the page (at least in the case of the left half of an nbtree page
split). Commit 8fa30f906b added an addendum that stated that the
original comment was "probably obsolete". It's definitely obsolete,
though, so remove the original comment plus the addendum.
Back in commits 1df92eeafe, f884a96819, and 592123efbb I used some
hackish code to set the script search path, unaware despite decades of
perl that there was a completely standard way to do this. This patch
changes those cases to use the standard perl FindBin package.
Nest the "update metapage as part of insert into root-like page" branch
inside the broader "insert into internal page" branch. This improves
readability.
Clearly it's not okay for nbtree to split a page that is the only page
on its level, and then find that it has to split the parent one level up
in turn. There is simply no code to handle the split_only_page case in
the _bt_insertonpg() "newitem won't fit" branch (only the "newitem fits"
branch handles split_only_page). Add a defensive assertion that will
fail if a split_only_page call to _bt_insertonpg() somehow ends up
splitting the target/parent page.
I (pgeoghegan) believe that we don't need split_only_page handling for
the "newitem won't fit" branch because anybody calling _bt_insertonpg()
like this would have to hold a lock on the same one and only child page.
It seems like a good idea for nbtree's retail insert code to be
absolutely consistent with nbtree's page split code for anything that
naturally requires equivalent handling. Anything that concerns
inserting newitem (which is handled as part of the page split atomic
action when a page split is required) should work in exactly the same
way. With that in mind, make _bt_insertonpg() handle 'cbuf' in a way
that matches _bt_split().
An nbtree split point can be thought of as a point between two adjoining
tuples from an imaginary version of the page being split that includes
the incoming/new item (in addition to the items that really are on the
page). These adjoining tuples are called the lastleft and firstright
tuples.
The variables that represent split points contained a field called
firstright, which is an offset number of the first data item from the
original page that goes on the new right page. The corresponding tuple
from origpage was usually the same thing as the actual firstright tuple,
but not always: the firstright tuple is sometimes the new/incoming item
instead. This situation seems unnecessarily confusing.
Make things clearer by renaming the origpage offset returned by
_bt_findsplitloc() to "firstrightoff". We now have a firstright tuple
and a firstrightoff offset number which are comparable to the
newitem/lastleft tuples and the newitemoff/lastleftoff offset numbers
respectively. Also make sure that we are consistent about how we
describe nbtree page split point state.
Push the responsibility for dealing with pg_upgrade'd !heapkeyspace
indexes down to lower level code, relieving _bt_split() from dealing
with it directly. This means that we always have a palloc'd left page
high key on the leaf level, no matter what. This enables simplifying
some of the code (and code comments) within _bt_split().
Finally, restructure the page split code to make it clearer why suffix
truncation (which only takes place during leaf page splits) is
completely different to the first data item truncation that takes place
during internal page splits. Tuples are marked as having fewer
attributes stored in both cases, and the firstright tuple is truncated
in both cases, so it's easy to imagine somebody missing the distinction.
This replaces a few occurrences of ugly code with a more clean and
idiomatic usage. The problem was highlighted by perlcritic, but we're
not enforcing the policy that led to the discovery.

ExecReScanHashJoin will destroy the join's hash table if it expects
that the inner relation will produce different rows on rescan.
Up to now it's not bothered to clear the additional pointer to that
hash table that exists in the child HashState node. However, it's
possible for the query to terminate without building a fresh hash
table (this happens if the outer relation is found to be empty
during the final rescan). So we can end with a dangling pointer
to a deleted hash table. That was harmless originally, but since
9.0 EXPLAIN ANALYZE has used that pointer to print hash table
statistics. In debug builds this reproducibly results in garbage
statistics. In non-debug builds there's frequently no ill effects,
but in principle one could get wrong EXPLAIN ANALYZE output, or
perhaps even a crash if free() has released the hashtable memory
back to the OS.
To fix, just make sure we clear the additional pointer when destroying
the hash table. In problematic cases, EXPLAIN ANALYZE will then print
no hashtable statistics (reverting to its pre-9.0 behavior). This isn't
ideal, but since the problem manifests only in unusual corner cases,
it's hard to justify taking any risks to do better in the back
branches. A follow-on patch will improve matters in HEAD.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16345-2e0cf5cddbdcd3b4@postgresql.org
This code could produce very poor results when asked to highlight a
string based on a query using phrase-match operators. The root cause
is that hlCover(), which is supposed to find a minimal substring that
matches the query, was written assuming that word position is not
significant. I'm only 95% convinced that its algorithm was correct even
for plain AND/OR queries; but it definitely fails completely for phrase
matches, causing it to possibly not identify a cover string at all.
Hence, rewrite hlCover() with a less-tense algorithm that just tries
all the possible substrings, earlier and shorter ones first. (This is
not as bad as it sounds performance-wise, because all of the string
matching has been done already: the repeated tsquery match checks
boil down to pointer comparisons.)
Unfortunately, since that approach produces more candidate cover
strings than before, it also exposes that there were bugs in the
heuristics in mark_hl_words() for selecting a best cover string.
Fixes there include:
* Do not apply the ShortWord filter to words that appear in the query.
* Remove a misguided optimization for quickly rejecting a cover.
* Fix order-of-operation bug that could cause computation of a
wrong figure of merit (poslen) when shortening a cover.
* Change the preference rule so that candidate headlines that do not
include their whole cover string (after MaxWords trimming) are lowest
priority, since they may not actually satisfy the user's query.
This results in some changes in existing regression test cases,
but they all seem reasonable. Note in particular that the tests
involving strings like "1 2 3" were previously being affected by
the ShortWord filter, masking the normal matching behavior.
Per bug #16345 from Augustinas Jokubauskas; the new test cases are

CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING GENERATED would fail if a generated column

Previously, the partitionwise join technique only allowed partitionwise
join when input partitioned tables had exactly the same partition
bounds. This commit extends the technique to some cases when the tables
have different partition bounds, by using an advanced partition-matching
algorithm introduced by this commit. For both the input partitioned
tables, the algorithm checks whether every partition of one input
partitioned table only matches one partition of the other input
partitioned table at most, and vice versa. In such a case the join
between the tables can be broken down into joins between the matching
partitions, so the algorithm produces the pairs of the matching
partitions, plus the partition bounds for the join relation, to allow
partitionwise join for computing the join. Currently, the algorithm
works for list-partitioned and range-partitioned tables, but not
hash-partitioned tables. See comments in partition_bounds_merge().

Before the fix every 2PC commit/abort leaked a file descriptor. As the

Once enough 2PC abort/commit have caused enough FDs to leak, any IO

be nearly enough to satisfy the demand for variant output formats.
Hence, make it possible to change any pset option(s) for the duration
of a single command output, by writing "option=value ..." inside
parentheses, for example
\g (format=csv csv_fieldsep='\t') somefile
\gx can now be understood as a shorthand for including expanded=on
inside the parentheses.

WAIT FOR LSN lsn [ TIMEOUT timeout ]
New clause pospones transaction start till given lsn is applied on standby.
This clause allows user be sure, that changes previously made on primary would
be visible on standby.
New shared memory struct is used to track awaited lsn per backend. Recovery
process wakes up backend once required lsn is applied.

WITH TIES is an option to the FETCH FIRST N ROWS clause (the SQL
standard's spelling of LIMIT), where you additionally get rows that
compare equal to the last of those N rows by the columns in the
mandatory ORDER BY clause.
There was a proposal by Andrew Gierth to implement this functionality in
a more powerful way that would yield more features, but the other patch
had not been finished at this time, so we decided to use this one for
now in the spirit of incremental development.

Since the existing bit number argument can't exceed INT32_MAX, it's
not possible for these functions to manipulate bits beyond the first
256MB of a bytea value. Lift that restriction by redeclaring the
bit number arguments as int8 (which requires a catversion bump,
hence is not back-patchable).
The similarly-named functions for bit/varbit don't really have a
problem because we restrict those types to at most VARBITMAXLEN bits;
hence leave them alone.
While here, extend the encode/decode functions in utils/adt/encode.c
to allow dealing with values wider than 1GB. This is not a live bug
or restriction in current usage, because no input could be more than
1GB, and since none of the encoders can expand a string more than 4X,
the result size couldn't overflow uint32. But it might be desirable
to support more in future, so make the input length values size_t
and the potential-output-length values uint64.
Also add some test cases to improve the miserable code coverage
of these functions.

Previously when there were multiple timelines listed in the history file
of the recovery target timeline, archive recovery searched all of them,
starting from the newest timeline to the oldest one, to find the segment
to read. That is, archive recovery had to continuously fail scanning
the segment until it reached the timeline that the segment belonged to.
These scans for non-existent segment could be harmful on the recovery
performance especially when archival area was located on the remote
storage and each scan could take a long time.
To address the issue, this commit changes archive recovery so that
it skips scanning the timeline that the segment to read doesn't belong to.

Commit d2d8a229bc introduced Incremental Sort, but it was considered
only in create_ordered_paths() as an alternative to regular Sort. There
are many other places that require sorted input and might benefit from
considering Incremental Sort too.
This patch modifies a number of those places, but not all. The concern
is that just adding Incremental Sort to any place that already adds
Sort may increase the number of paths considered, negatively affecting
planning time, without any benefit. So we've taken a more conservative
approach, based on analysis of which places do affect a set of queries
that did seem practical. This means some less common queries may not
benefit from Incremental Sort yet.

The txid_XXX family of fmgr functions exposes 64 bit transaction IDs to
users as int8. Now that we have an SQL type xid8 for FullTransactionId,
define a new set of functions including pg_current_xact_id() and
pg_current_snapshot() based on that. Keep the old functions around too,
for now.
It's a bit sneaky to use the same C functions for both, but since the
binary representation is identical except for the signedness of the
type, and since older functions are the ones using the wrong signedness,
and since we'll presumably drop the older ones after a reasonable period
of time, it seems reasonable to switch to FullTransactionId internally
and share the code for both.

An assertion added by commit 0d861bbb checked that _bt_killitems() only
processes a BTScanPosItem whose heap TID is contained in a posting list
tuple when its page offset number still matches what is on the page
(i.e. when it matches the posting list tuple's current offset number).
This was only correct in the common case where the page can't have
changed since we first read it. It was not correct in cases where we
don't drop the buffer pin (and don't need to verify the page hasn't
changed using its LSN). The latter category includes scans involving
unlogged tables, and scans that use a non-MVCC snapshot, per the logic
originally introduced by commit 2ed5b87f.
The assertion still seems helpful. Fix it by taking cases where the
page may have been concurrently modified into account.

Incremental Sort is an optimized variant of multikey sort for cases when
the input is already sorted by a prefix of the requested sort keys. For
example when the relation is already sorted by (key1, key2) and we need
to sort it by (key1, key2, key3) we can simply split the input rows into
groups having equal values in (key1, key2), and only sort/compare the
remaining column key3.
This has a number of benefits:
- Reduced memory consumption, because only a single group (determined by
values in the sorted prefix) needs to be kept in memory. This may also
eliminate the need to spill to disk.
- Lower startup cost, because Incremental Sort produce results after each
prefix group, which is beneficial for plans where startup cost matters
(like for example queries with LIMIT clause).
We consider both Sort and Incremental Sort, and decide based on costing.
The implemented algorithm operates in two different modes:
- Fetching a minimum number of tuples without check of equality on the
prefix keys, and sorting on all columns when safe.
- Fetching all tuples for a single prefix group and then sorting by
comparing only the remaining (non-prefix) keys.
We always start in the first mode, and employ a heuristic to switch into
the second mode if we believe it's beneficial - the goal is to minimize
the number of unnecessary comparions while keeping memory consumption
below work_mem.
This is a very old patch series. The idea was originally proposed by
Alexander Korotkov back in 2013, and then revived in 2017. In 2018 the
patch was taken over by James Coleman, who wrote and rewrote most of the
current code.
There were many reviewers/contributors since 2013 - I've done my best to
pick the most active ones, and listed them in this commit message.

Since commit 8f59f6b9c0, CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS buildfarm members have
been failing this test case because the error message now sometimes
includes an error cursor position. It seems largely just luck that
that never happened before, and there are likely to be more ways it
could happen in future. Hence, rather than trying to prevent it,
adjust the test script to suppress that component of the report.
At some point we might need to back-patch this, but refrain until

This is for the benefit of running postgres under the rr
debugger. When using rr signal handlers running while a syscall is
active use an alternative stack. As e.g. bgworkers are started from
within signal handlers, the forked backend then has a different stack
base than postmaster. Previously that subsequently lead to those
processes triggering spurious "stack depth limit exceeded" errors.

Commit 7cb0a423f overlooked that the multi-level partition test table
pagg_tab_ml still had an exactly even row split at its upper level of
partitioning, so that some of the sub-aggregation plan steps still had
exactly equal costs, leading to plan instability. Tweak the partition
boundaries some more to make the row distribution unequal at both
levels. This leads to more changes in the "expected" plan order than
the previous round, but it seems fine. (Actually, I'm surprised that
this didn't affect even more plans in this test: looking at the
underlying costs shows that some of the parallel plan groups are
*not* getting sorted by cost. Bug?)

Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a
given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged
operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See
src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New
RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access
methods should examine that section.
To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an
fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC,
wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload
that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try
adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may
need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis
will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.
Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's
current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the
specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new
rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain
dropped relations until end of transaction.
Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since this introduces XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN.
Future servers accept older WAL, so this bump is discretionary.

This allows gathering the WAL generation statistics for each statement
execution. The three statistics that we collect are the number of WAL
records, the number of full page writes and the amount of WAL bytes
generated.
This helps the users who have write-intensive workload to see the impact
of I/O due to WAL. This further enables us to see approximately what
percentage of overall WAL is due to full page writes.
In the future, we can extend this functionality to allow us to compute the
the exact amount of WAL data due to full page writes.
This patch in itself is just an infrastructure to compute WAL usage data.
The upcoming patches will expose this data via explain, auto_explain,

acquire a ResourceOwner without a transaction so that the backup
manifest functionality could use a BufFile, but it overlooked the fact
that when a walsender is used with replication=database, it might have
a transaction in progress, because in that mode, SQL and replication
commands can be mixed. Try to fix things up so that the two cleanup
mechanisms don't conflict.
Per buildfarm member serinus, which triggered the problem when
CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT failed from inside a transaction. It passed
on the subsequent run, so evidently the failure doesn't happen every
time.
lapwing is complaining that about a call to pg_gmtime, saying that
it "expected 'const pg_time_t *' but argument is of type 'time_t *'".
I at first thought that the problem had someting to do with const,
but Thomas Munro suggested that it might be just because time_t
and pg_time_t are different identifers. lapwing is i686 rather than
x86_64, and pg_time_t is always int64, so that seems like a good
guess.
There is other code that just casts time_t to pg_time_t without
any conversion function, so try that approach here.
Introduced in commit 0d8c9c1210.
It may be necessary to go further and remove this test altogether,
but I'm going to try this fix first. It's not clear, at least to
me, exactly how this is breaking buildfarm members, but it appears
to be doing so.
