Viewing a table with \d in psql also shows the publications at table is
in. If a publication is concurrently dropped, this shows an error,
because the view pg_publication_tables internally uses
pg_get_publication_tables(), which uses a catalog snapshot. This can be
particularly annoying if a for-all-tables publication is concurrently
dropped.
To avoid that, write the query in psql differently. Expose the function
pg_relation_is_publishable() to SQL and write the query using that.
That still has a risk of being affected by concurrent catalog changes,
but in this case it would be a table drop that causes problems, and then
the psql \d command wouldn't be interesting anymore anyway.

In commits 2f5c9d9c9 and ab0289651 we invented an abstraction layer
to insulate catalog manipulations from direct heap update calls.
But evidently some patches that hadn't landed in-tree at that point
didn't get the memo completely. Fix a couple of direct calls to
simple_heap_delete to use CatalogTupleDelete instead; these appear
to have been added in commits 7c4f52409 and 7b504eb28. This change is
purely cosmetic ATM, but there's no point in having an abstraction layer
if we allow random code to break it.

When we reimplemented SRFs in commit 69f4b9c85, our initial choice was
to allow the behavior to vary from historical practice in cases where a
SRF call appeared within a conditional-execution construct (currently,
only CASE or COALESCE). But that was controversial to begin with, and
subsequent discussion has resulted in a consensus that it's better to
throw an error instead of executing the query differently from before,
so long as we can provide a reasonably clear error message and a way to
rewrite the query.
Hence, add a parser mechanism to allow detection of such cases during
parse analysis. The mechanism just requires storing, in the ParseState,
a pointer to the set-returning FuncExpr or OpExpr most recently emitted
by parse analysis. Then the parsing functions for CASE and COALESCE can
detect the presence of a SRF in their arguments by noting whether this
pointer changes while analyzing their arguments. Furthermore, if it does,
it provides a suitable error cursor location for the complaint. (This
means that if there's more than one SRF in the arguments, the error will
point at the last one to be analyzed not the first. While connoisseurs of
parsing behavior might find that odd, it's unlikely the average user would
ever notice.)
While at it, we can also provide more specific error messages than before
about some pre-existing restrictions, such as no-SRFs-within-aggregates.
Also, reject at parse time cases where a NULLIF or IS DISTINCT FROM
construct would need to return a set. We've never supported that, but the
restriction is depended on in more subtle ways now, so it seems wise to
detect it at the start.
Also, provide some documentation about how to rewrite a SRF-within-CASE
query using a custom wrapper SRF.
It turns out that the information_schema.user_mapping_options view
contained an instance of exactly the behavior we're now forbidding; but
rewriting it makes it more clear and safer too.

During pg_upgrade's restore run, all relfilenode choices should be
overridden by commands in the dump script. If we ever find ourselves
choosing a relfilenode in the ordinary way, someone blew it. Likewise for
pg_type OIDs. Since pg_upgrade might well succeed anyway, if there happens
not to be a conflict during the regression test run, we need assertions
here to keep us on the straight and narrow.
We might someday be able to remove the assertion in GetNewRelFileNode,
if pg_upgrade is rewritten to remove its assumption that old and new
relfilenodes always match. But it's hard to see how to get rid of the
pg_type OID constraint, since those OIDs are embedded in user tables
in some cases.
Back-patch as far as 9.5, because of the risk of back-patches breaking
something here even if it works in HEAD. I'd prefer to go back further,
but 9.4 fails both assertions due to get_rel_infos()'s use of a temporary
table. We can't use the later-branch solution of a CTE for compatibility
reasons (cf commit 5d16332e9), and it doesn't seem worth inventing some
other way to do the query. (I did check, by dint of changing the Asserts
to elog(WARNING), that there are no other cases of unwanted OID assignments
during 9.4's regression test run.)

get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext
found a tuple. This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's
unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed.
(OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't
expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently. The behavior in a
non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.) Fix it to do what
other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog.
Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about
unexpected failure of systable_getnext. 90% of them say "could not find
tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise. Many of the
holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright
misleading since no catcache search is involved.
Per our message style guidelines, error messages incorporating the
results of format_type_be() and its siblings should not add quotes
around those results, because those functions already add quotes
at need. Fix a few places that hadn't gotten that memo.
Avoid trashing the input PartitionBoundSpec; while that might be safe for
current callers, it's certainly trouble waiting to happen. In the same
vein, make sure that all of the result data structure is freshly palloc'd,
rather than some of it being pointers into the input data structures
(which we don't know the lifespans of).
Simplify the logic for tacking on IS NULL or IS NOT NULL conditions some
more; commit 85c2b9a15 left a lot on the table there. And rearrange the
construction of the nodes into (what seems to me) a more logical order.
In passing, make sure that get_qual_for_range() also returns a freshly
palloc'd structure, since there's no value in having that guarantee for
only one kind of partitioning. And improve some comments there.

We need not consider the case where both nulltest1 and nulltest2 are
NULL; the partition either accepts nulls or it does not.
Jeevan Ladhe. I added an assertion.
This seemed like a good idea originally because there's no way to mark
a range partition as accepting NULL, but that now seems more like a
current limitation than something we want to lock down for all time.
For example, there's a proposal to add the notion of a default
partition which accepts all rows not otherwise routed, which directly
conflicts with the idea that a range-partitioned table should never
allow nulls anywhere. So let's change this while we still can, by
putting the NOT NULL test into the partition constraint instead of
changing the column properties.

Consistently refer to such an entry as a "statistics object", not just

A stats object ought to have a dependency on each individual column
it reads, not the entire table. Doing this honestly lets us get rid
of the hard-wired logic in RemoveStatisticsExt, which seems to have

to extend to multiple tables later.
Also, add overlooked dependency on owner, and make the dependency on
schema be NORMAL like every other such dependency.
There remains some unfinished work here, which is to allow statistics
objects to be extension members. That takes more effort than just
adding the dependency call, though, so I left it out for now.

Formerly, the bootstrap backend looked up the OIDs corresponding to
names in regproc catalog entries using brute-force searches of pg_proc.
It was somewhat remarkable that that worked at all, since it was used
while populating other pretty-fundamental catalogs like pg_operator.
And it was also quite slow, and getting slower as pg_proc gets bigger.
This patch moves the lookup work into genbki.pl, so that the values in
postgres.bki for regproc columns are always numeric OIDs, an option
that regprocin() already supported. Perl isn't the world's speediest
language, so this about doubles the time needed to run genbki.pl (from
0.3 to 0.6 sec on my machine). But we only do that at most once per
build. The time needed to run initdb drops significantly --- on my
machine, initdb --no-sync goes from 1.8 to 1.3 seconds. So this is
a small net win even for just one initdb per build, and it becomes
quite a nice win for test sequences requiring many initdb runs.
Strip out the now-dead code for brute-force catalog searching in
regprocin. We'd also cargo-culted similar logic into regoperin
and some (not all) of the other reg*in functions. That is all
dead code too since we currently have no need to load such values
during bootstrap. I removed it all, reasoning that if we ever
need such functionality it'd be much better to do it in a similar
way to this patch.
There might be some simplifications possible in the backend now that
regprocin doesn't require doing catalog reads so early in bootstrap.
I've not looked into that, though.

A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of
objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through
execution. At this point, the only thing implemented is a
collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which
can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the
catalogs. The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but
provision is made to add more types fairly easily.
An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the
catalogs by relid.
Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience
functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code
run through SPI.
The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in

Change one more place where ExecInitCheck/ExecPrepareCheck's insistence
on getting implicit-AND-format quals wasn't really helpful, because the
caller had to do make_ands_implicit() for no reason that it cared about.
Using ExecPrepareExpr directly simplifies the code and saves cycles.
The only remaining use of these functions is to process
resultRelInfo->ri_PartitionCheck quals. However, implicit-AND format
does seem to be what we want for that, so leave it alone.
This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with
non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation.
Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation.
This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes
future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier.
The speed gains primarily come from:
- non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead
- simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without
function calls
- sharing some state between different sub-expressions
- reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying
out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of
nearly all of the previously used linked lists
- more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding
constant re-checks at evaluation time
Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as
demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later
release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split
between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be
handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the
generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can
easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation.
The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.:
- basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup
overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared
statements. That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where
initialization overhead is measurable.
- optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential
work has already been made.
- optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have
been made here too.
The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some
backward-incompatible changes:
- Function permission checks are now done during expression
initialization, whereas previously they were done during
execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that
previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a
different array type previously didn't perform checks.
- The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once
during expression initialization, previously it was re-built
every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this
doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches
ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer. The behavior
around might still change.

Add support for explicitly declared statistic objects (CREATE

combinations that individual table columns. Companion commands DROP
STATISTICS and ALTER STATISTICS ... OWNER TO / SET SCHEMA / RENAME are

This commit only adds support for collection of n-distinct coefficient
on user-specified sets of columns in a single table. This is useful to

estimation errors there can cause over-allocation of memory in hashed

and this adds an icu choice, which uses the ICU4C library.
The pg_locale_t type is changed to a union that contains the
provider-specific locale handles. Users of locale information are
changed to look into that struct for the appropriate handle to use.
Also add a collversion column that records the version of the collation
when it is created, and check at run time whether it is still the same.
This detects potentially incompatible library upgrades that can corrupt
indexes and other structures. This is currently only supported by
ICU-provided collations.
initdb initializes the default collation set as before from the `locale
-a` output but also adds all available ICU locales with a "-x-icu"
appended.
Currently, ICU-provided collations can only be explicitly named
collations. The global database locales are still always libc-provided.
ICU support is enabled by configure --with-icu.

Adds write_lag, flush_lag and replay_lag cols to pg_stat_replication.
Implements a lag tracker module that reports the lag times based upon
measurements of the time taken for recent WAL to be written, flushed and
replayed and for the sender to hear about it. These times
represent the commit lag that was (or would have been) introduced by each
synchronous commit level, if the remote server was configured as a
synchronous standby. For an asynchronous standby, the replay_lag column
approximates the delay before recent transactions became visible to queries.
If the standby server has entirely caught up with the sending server and
there is no more WAL activity, the most recently measured lag times will
continue to be displayed for a short time and then show NULL.
Physical replication lag tracking is automatic. Logical replication tracking
is possible but is the responsibility of the logical decoding plugin.
Tracking is a private module operating within each walsender individually,
with values reported to shared memory. Module not used outside of walsender.

Add functionality for a new subscription to copy the initial data in the
tables and then sync with the ongoing apply process.
For the copying, add a new internal COPY option to have the COPY source
data provided by a callback function. The initial data copy works on
the subscriber by receiving COPY data from the publisher and then
providing it locally into a COPY that writes to the destination table.
A WAL receiver can now execute full SQL commands. This is used here to
obtain information about tables and publications.
Several new options were added to CREATE and ALTER SUBSCRIPTION to
control whether and when initial table syncing happens.
Change pg_dump option --no-create-subscription-slots to
--no-subscription-connect and use the new CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
... NOCONNECT option for that.

Internally, we have supported the option to either wait for all of the
WAL associated with a backup to be archived, or to return immediately.
This option is useful to users of pg_stop_backup() as well, when they
are reading the stop backup record position and checking that the WAL
they need has been archived independently.
This patch adds an additional, optional, argument to pg_stop_backup()
which allows the user to indicate if they wish to wait for the WAL to be
archived or not. The default matches current behavior, which is to
wait.

Seven of the eight other relkind codes are lower-case, so it wasn't
consistent for this one to be upper-case. Fix it while we still can.
Historical notes: the reason for the lone exception, i.e. sequences being
'S', is that 's' was once used for "special" relations. Also, at one time
the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed,
leaving only a surprising choice behind.
This also fixes a couple little bits of technical debt, such as
type_sanity.sql not knowing that 'm' is a legal value for relkind.

The old function took function name and function argument list as
separate arguments. Now that all function signatures are passed around
as ObjectWithArgs structs, this is no longer necessary and can be
replaced by a function that takes ObjectWithArgs directly. Similarly
for aggregates and operators.

In simpler times, it might have worked to refer to all kinds of objects
by a list of name components and an optional argument list. But this
doesn't work for all objects, which has resulted in a collection of
hacks to place various other nodes types into these fields, which have
to be unpacked at the other end. This makes it also weird to represent
lists of such things in the grammar, because they would have to be lists
of singleton lists, to make the unpacking work consistently. The other
problem is that keeping separate name and args fields makes it awkward
to deal with lists of functions.
Change that by dropping the objargs field and have objname, renamed to
object, be a generic Node, which can then be flexibly assigned and
managed using the normal Node mechanisms. In many cases it will still
be a List of names, in some cases it will be a string Value, for types
it will be the existing Typename, for functions it will now use the
existing ObjectWithArgs node type. Some of the more obscure object
types still use somewhat arbitrary nested lists.

This stores a data type, required to be an integer type, with the
sequence. The sequences min and max values default to the range
supported by the type, and they cannot be set to values exceeding that
range. The internal implementation of the sequence is not affected.
Change the serial types to create sequences of the appropriate type.
This makes sure that the min and max values of the sequence for a serial
column match the range of values supported by the table column. So the
sequence can no longer overflow the table column.
This also makes monitoring for sequence exhaustion/wraparound easier,
which currently requires various contortions to cross-reference the
sequences with the table columns they are used with.
This commit also effectively reverts the pg_sequence column reordering
in f3b421da5f, because the new seqtypid
column allows us to fill the hole in the struct and create a more
natural overall column ordering.

It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive
amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque
field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility
exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls.
This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it
to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call.
(The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache,
so there's little to improve there.)
For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows
can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two.
In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime
for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated
catalog lookups are vastly more expensive.
The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is
not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to
do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert.
That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already
within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert
as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

Add CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo to let
callers use the CatalogTupleXXX abstraction layer even in cases where
we want to share the results of CatalogOpenIndexes across multiple
inserts/updates for efficiency. This finishes the job begun in commit
2f5c9d9c9, by allowing some remaining simple_heap_insert/update
calls to be replaced. The abstraction layer is now complete enough
that we don't have to export CatalogIndexInsert at all anymore.
Also, this fixes several places in which 2f5c9d9c9 introduced performance
regressions by using retail CatalogTupleInsert or CatalogTupleUpdate even
though the previous coding had been able to amortize CatalogOpenIndexes
work across multiple tuples.
A possible future improvement is to arrange for the indexing.c functions
to cache the CatalogIndexState somewhere, maybe in the relcache, in which
case we could get rid of CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and
CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo again. But that's a task for another day.

This extends the work done in commit 2f5c9d9c9 to provide a more nearly
complete abstraction layer hiding the details of index updating for catalog
changes. That commit only invented abstractions for catalog inserts and
updates, leaving nearby code for catalog deletes still calling the
heap-level routines directly. That seems rather ugly from here, and it
does little to help if we ever want to shift to a storage system in which
indexing work is needed at delete time.
Hence, create a wrapper function CatalogTupleDelete(), and replace calls
of simple_heap_delete() on catalog tuples with it. There are now very
few direct calls of [simple_]heap_delete remaining in the tree.

Split the existing CatalogUpdateIndexes into two different routines,
CatalogTupleInsert and CatalogTupleUpdate, which do both the heap
insert/update plus the index update. This removes over 300 lines of
boilerplate code all over src/backend/catalog/ and src/backend/commands.
The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye.
Also, by encapsulating what happens in detail during an UPDATE, this
facilitates the upcoming WARM patch, which is going to add a few more
lines to the update case making the boilerplate even more boring.
The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use
left, and since it's just three lines, we can as well expand it in place
there. We could keep it, but WARM is going to break all the UPDATE
out-of-core callsites anyway, so there seems to be no benefit in doing
so.

In commit 6c268df, pg_init_privs was added to track the initial
privileges of catalog objects and extensions. Unfortunately, that
commit didn't include understanding of ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP, which
allows the objects associated with an extension to be changed after the
initial CREATE EXTENSION script has been run.
The result of this meant that ACLs for objects added through
ALTER EXTENSION ADD were not recorded into pg_init_privs and we would
end up including those ACLs in pg_dump when we shouldn't have.
This commit corrects that by making sure to have pg_init_privs updated
when ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP is run, recording the permissions as they
are at ALTER EXTENSION ADD time, and removing any if/when ALTER
EXTENSION DROP is called.
This issue was pointed out by Moshe Jacobson as commentary on bug #14456
(which was actually a bug about versions prior to 9.6 not handling
custom ACLs on extensions correctly, an issue now addressed with
pg_init_privs in 9.6).
Back-patch to 9.6 where pg_init_privs was introduced.
