Commit 2ac3ef7a0 added a query with an underdetermined output row order;
it has failed multiple times in the buildfarm since then. Add an ORDER BY
to fix. Also, don't rely on a DROP CASCADE to drop in a well-determined
order; that hasn't failed yet but I don't trust it much, and we're not
saving any typing by using CASCADE anyway.
Commit f0e44751d added new node tags at a place in the tag numbering
where there was no daylight left before the next hard-coded number,
resulting in some duplicate tag assignments. This doesn't seem to have
caused any big problem so far, but it's surely trouble waiting to happen.
We could adjust the manually assigned breakpoints to make more room,
but that just leaves the same hazard waiting to strike again in future.
What seems like a better idea is to get rid of the manual assignments
and leave NodeTags to be automatically assigned, consecutively from one
on up. This means that any change in the tag list forces a backend-wide
recompile, but realistically that's usually needed anyway.

interval_transform() contained two separate bugs that caused it to
sometimes mistakenly decide that a cast from interval to restricted
interval is a no-op and throw it away.
First, it was wrong to rely on dt.h's field type macros to have an
ordering consistent with the field's significance; in one case they do
not. This led to mistakenly treating YEAR as less significant than MONTH,
so that a cast from INTERVAL MONTH to INTERVAL YEAR was incorrectly
discarded.
Second, fls(1<<k) produces k+1 not k, so comparing its output directly
to SECOND was wrong. This led to supposing that a cast to INTERVAL
MINUTE was really a cast to INTERVAL SECOND and so could be discarded.
To fix, get rid of the use of fls(), and make a function based on
intervaltypmodout to produce a field ID code adapted to the need here.

hashname() asserted that the key string it is given is shorter than
NAMEDATALEN. That should surely always be true if the input is in fact a
regular value of type "name". However, for reasons of coding convenience,
we allow plain old C strings to be treated as "name" values in many places.
Some SQL functions accept arbitrary "text" inputs, convert them to C
strings, and pass them otherwise-untransformed to syscache lookups for name
columns, allowing an overlength input value to trigger hashname's Assert.
This would be a DOS problem, except that it only happens in assert-enabled
builds which aren't recommended for production. In a production build,
you'll just get a name lookup error, since regardless of the hash value
computed by hashname, the later equality comparison checks can't match.
Likewise, if the catalog lookup is done by seqscan or indexscan searches,
there will just be a lookup error, since the name comparison functions
don't contain any similar length checks, and will see an overlength input
as unequal to any stored entry.
After discussion we concluded that we should simply remove this Assert.
It's inessential to hashname's own functionality, and having such an
assertion in only some paths for name lookup is more of a foot-gun than
a useful check. There may or may not be a case for the affected callers
to do something other than let the name lookup fail, but we'll consider
that separately; in any case we probably don't want to change such
behavior in the back branches.

When providing tab completion for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES, we are
including the list of roles as possible options for completion after the
GRANT or REVOKE. Further, we accept FOR ROLE/IN SCHEMA at the same time
and in either order, but the tab completion was only working for one or
the other. Lastly, we weren't using the actual list of allowed kinds of
objects for default privileges for completion after the 'GRANT X ON' but
instead were completeing to what 'GRANT X ON' supports, which isn't the
ssame at all.
Address these issues by improving the forward tab-completion for ALTER
DEFAULT PRIVILEGES and then constrain and correct how the tail
completion is done when it is for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES.

We had an index entry for "median" attached to the percentile_cont function
entry, which was pretty useless because a person following the link would
never realize that that function was the one they were being hinted to use.
Instead, make the index entry point at the example in syntax-aggregates,
and add a <seealso> link to "percentile".
Also, since that example explicitly claims to be calculating the median,
make it use percentile_cont not percentile_disc. This makes no difference
in terms of the larger goals of that section, but so far as I can find,

AFAICS, the behavior ought to be that you get an OID column if any of the

Also, revert that patch's unnecessary split of transformCreateStmt's loop

When the input value to a CoerceToDomain expression node is a read-write
expanded datum, we should pass a read-only pointer to any domain CHECK
expressions and then return the original read-write pointer as the
expression result. Previously we were blindly passing the same pointer to
all the consumers of the value, making it possible for a function in CHECK
to modify or even delete the expanded value. (Since a plpgsql function
will absorb a passed-in read-write expanded array as a local variable
value, it will in fact delete the value on exit.)
A similar hazard of passing the same read-write pointer to multiple
consumers exists in domain_check() and in ExecEvalCase, so fix those too.
The fix requires adding MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly calls at the appropriate
places, which is simple enough except that we need to get the data type's
typlen from somewhere. For the domain cases, solve this by redefining
DomainConstraintRef.tcache as okay for callers to access; there wasn't any
reason for the original convention against that, other than not wanting the
API of typcache.c to be any wider than it had to be. For CASE, there's
no good solution except to add a syscache lookup during executor start.

Some background activity (like checkpoints, archive timeout, standby
snapshots) is not supposed to happen on an idle system. Unfortunately
so far it was not easy to determine when a system is idle, which
defeated some of the attempts to avoid redundant activity on an idle
system.
To make that easier, allow to make individual WAL insertions as not
being "important". By checking whether any important activity happened
since the last time an activity was performed, it now is easy to check
whether some action needs to be repeated.
Use the new facility for checkpoints, archive timeout and standby
snapshots.
The lack of a facility causes some issues in older releases, but in my
opinion the consequences (superflous checkpoints / archived segments)
aren't grave enough to warrant backpatching.

When dblink uses a postgres_fdw server name for its connection, it
is possible for the connection to have options that are invalid

options that do not apply by using is_valid_dblink_option() when
building the connection string from the options.

In an attempt to simplify the tsquery matching engine, the original
phrase search patch invented rewrite rules that would rearrange a
tsquery so that no AND/OR/NOT operator appeared below a PHRASE operator.
But this approach had numerous problems. The rearrangement step was
missed by ts_rewrite (and perhaps other places), allowing tsqueries
to be created that would cause Assert failures or perhaps crashes at
execution, as reported by Andreas Seltenreich. The rewrite rules
effectively defined semantics for operators underneath PHRASE that were
buggy, or at least unintuitive. And because rewriting was done in
tsqueryin() rather than at execution, the rearrangement was user-visible,
which is not very desirable --- for example, it might cause unexpected
matches or failures to match in ts_rewrite.
As a somewhat independent problem, the behavior of nested PHRASE operators
was only sane for left-deep trees; queries like "x <-> (y <-> z)" did not
behave intuitively at all.
To fix, get rid of the rewrite logic altogether, and instead teach the
tsquery execution engine to manage AND/OR/NOT below a PHRASE operator
by explicitly computing the match location(s) and match widths for these
operators.
This requires introducing some additional fields into the publicly visible
ExecPhraseData struct; but since there's no way for third-party code to
pass such a struct to TS_phrase_execute, it shouldn't create an ABI problem
as long as we don't move the offsets of the existing fields.
Another related problem was that index searches supposed that "!x <-> y"
could be lossily approximated as "!x & y", which isn't correct because
the latter will reject, say, "x q y" which the query itself accepts.
This required some tweaking in TS_execute_ternary along with the main
tsquery engine.
Back-patch to 9.6 where phrase operators were introduced. While this
could be argued to change behavior more than we'd like in a stable branch,
we have to do something about the crash hazards and index-vs-seqscan
inconsistency, and it doesn't seem desirable to let the unintuitive
behaviors induced by the rewriting implementation stand as precedent.

When CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW acts on an existing view, don't update the

This is necessary in the case where CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW is used on
an existing view that is not updatable, and the new view is updatable
and specifies the WITH CHECK OPTION. In this case, attempting to apply
the new options to the view before updating its query fails, because
the options are applied using the ALTER TABLE infrastructure which
checks that WITH CHECK OPTION is only applied to an updatable view.
If new columns are being added to the view, that is also done using
the ALTER TABLE infrastructure, but it is important that that still be
done before updating the view query, because the rules system checks
that the query columns match those on the view relation. Added a
