Etsuro Fujita 6c07f9ebce postgres_fdw: Fix subabort cleanup of connections used in asynchronous execution.
Commit 27e1f1456 resets the per-connection states of connections used to
scan foreign tables asynchronously during abort cleanup at main
transaction end, but it failed to do so during subabort cleanup at
subtransaction end, leading to a segmentation fault when re-executing an
asynchronous-foreign-table-scan query in a transaction that was
cancelled in a subtransaction of it.

Fix by modifying pgfdw_abort_cleanup() to reset the per-connection state
of a given connection also when called for subabort cleanup.  Also,
modify that function to do the reset in both the abort-cleanup and
subabort-cleanup cases if necessary, to save cycles, and improve a
comment on it a little bit.

Back-patch to v14 where the aforesaid commit came in.

Peter Eisentraut 941460fcf7 Add Boolean node
Before, SQL-level boolean constants were represented by a string with
a cast, and internal Boolean values in DDL commands were usually
represented by Integer nodes.  This takes the place of both of these
uses, making the intent clearer and having some amount of type safety.

Michael Paquier b69aba7457 Improve error handling of cryptohash computations
The existing cryptohash facility was causing problems in some code paths
related to MD5 (frontend and backend) that relied on the fact that the
only type of error that could happen would be an OOM, as the MD5
implementation used in PostgreSQL ~13 (the in-core implementation is
used when compiling with or without OpenSSL in those older versions),
could fail only under this circumstance.

The new cryptohash facilities can fail for reasons other than OOMs, like
attempting MD5 when FIPS is enabled (upstream OpenSSL allows that up to
1.0.2, Fedora and Photon patch OpenSSL 1.1.1 to allow that), so this
would cause incorrect reports to show up.

This commit extends the cryptohash APIs so as callers of those routines
can fetch more context when an error happens, by using a new routine
called pg_cryptohash_error().  The error states are stored within each
implementation's internal context data, so as it is possible to extend
the logic depending on what's suited for an implementation.  The default
implementation requires few error states, but OpenSSL could report
various issues depending on its internal state so more is needed in
cryptohash_openssl.c, and the code is shaped so as we are always able to
grab the necessary information.

The core code is changed to adapt to the new error routine, painting
more "const" across the call stack where the static errors are stored,
particularly in authentication code paths on variables that provide
log details.  This way, any future changes would warn if attempting to
free these strings.  The MD5 authentication code was also a bit blurry
about the handling of "logdetail" (LOG sent to the postmaster), so
improve the comments related that, while on it.

The origin of the problem is 87ae969, that introduced the centralized
cryptohash facility.  Extra changes are done for pgcrypto in v14 for the
non-OpenSSL code path to cope with the improvements done by this
commit.

Tom Lane 54b1cb7eb7 Fix results of index-only scans on btree_gist char(N) indexes.
If contrib/btree_gist is used to make a GIST index on a char(N)
(bpchar) column, and that column is retrieved via an index-only
scan, what came out had all trailing spaces removed.  Since
that doesn't happen in any other kind of table scan, this is
clearly a bug.  The cause is that gbt_bpchar_compress() strips
trailing spaces (using rtrim1) before a new index entry is made.
That was probably a good idea when this code was first written,
but since we invented index-only scans, it's not so good.

One answer could be to mark this opclass as incapable of index-only
scans.  But to do so, we'd need an extension module version bump,
followed by manual action by DBAs to install the updated version
of btree_gist.  And it's not really a desirable place to end up,
anyway.

Instead, let's fix the code by removing the unwanted space-stripping
action and adjusting the opclass's comparison logic to ignore
trailing spaces as bpchar normally does.  This will not hinder
cases that work today, since index searches with this logic will
act the same whether trailing spaces are stored or not.  It will
not by itself fix the problem of getting space-stripped results
from index-only scans, of course.  Users who care about that can
REINDEX affected indexes after installing this update, to immediately
replace all improperly-truncated index entries.  Otherwise, it can
be expected that the index's behavior will change incrementally as
old entries are replaced by new ones.

Per report from Alexander Lakhin.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

Fujii Masao 353aa01687 postgres_fdw: Add regression test for postgres_fdw.application_name GUC.
Commit 449ab63505 added postgres_fdw.application_name GUC that specifies
a value for application_name configuration parameter used when postgres_fdw
establishes a connection to a foreign server. Also commit 6e0cb3dec1
allowed it to include escape sequences. Both commits added the regression
tests for the GUC, but those tests were reverted by commits 98dbef90eb and
5e64ad3697 because they were unstable and caused some buildfarm members
to report the failure.

This is the third try to add the regression test for
postgres_fdw.application_name GUC.

One of issues to make the test unstable was to have used
postgres_fdw_disconnect_all() to close the existing remote connections.
The test expected that the remote connection and its corresponding backend
at the remote server disappeared just after postgres_fdw_disconnect_all()
was executed, but it could take a bit time for them to disappear.
To make sure that they exit, this commit makes the test use
pg_terminate_backend() with the timeout at the remote server, instead.
If the timeout is set to greater than zero, this function waits until
they are actually terminated (or until the given time has passed).

Another issue was that the test didn't take into consideration the case
where postgres_fdw.application_name containing some escape sequences was
converted to the string larger than NAMEDATALEN. In this case it was
truncated to less than NAMEDATALEN when it's passed to the remote server,
but the test expected wrongly that full string of application_name was
always viewable. This commit changes the test so that it can handle that case.

Tom Lane c2e8bd2751 Enable routine running of citext's UTF8-specific test cases.
These test cases have been commented out since citext was invented,
because at the time we had no nice way to deal with tests that
have restrictions such as requiring UTF8 encoding.  But now we do
have a convention for that, ie put them into a separate test file
with an early-exit path.  So let's enable these tests to run when
their prerequisites are satisfied.

(We may have to tighten the prerequisites beyond the "encoding = UTF8
and locale != C" checks made here.  But let's put it on the buildfarm
and see what blows up.)

We can revert the code changes of commit b5febc1d1 now, because
commit 9a3ddeb51 installed a real solution for the difficulty
that b5febc1d1 just dodged, namely that the planner might pick

I don't feel a need to take any risk by back-patching this one.

Michael Paquier 2e577c9446 Remove assertion for ALTER TABLE .. DETACH PARTITION CONCURRENTLY
One code path related to this flavor of ALTER TABLE was checking that
the relation to detach has to be a normal table or a partitioned table,
which would fail if using the command with a different relation kind.

Views, sequences and materialized views cannot be part of a partition
tree, so these would cause the command to fail anyway, but the assertion
was triggered.  Foreign tables can be part of a partition tree, and
again the assertion would have failed.  The simplest solution is just to
remove this assertion, so as we get the same failure as the
non-concurrent code path.

While on it, add a regression test in postgres_fdw for the concurrent
partition detach of a foreign table, as per a suggestion from Alexander
Lakhin.

Issue introduced in 71f4c8c.

Tom Lane d1029bb5a2 Remove dynamic translation of regression test scripts, step 1.
pg_regress has long had provisions for dynamically substituting path
names into regression test scripts and result files, but use of that
feature has always been a serious pain in the neck, mainly because
updating the result files requires tedious manual editing.  Let's
get rid of that in favor of passing down the paths in environment
variables.

In addition to being easier to maintain, this way is capable of
dealing with path names that require escaping at runtime, for example
paths containing single-quote marks.  (There are other stumbling
blocks in the way of actually building in a path that looks like
that, but removing this one seems like a good thing to do.)  The key
coding rule that makes that possible is to concatenate pieces of a
dynamically-variable string using psql's \set command, and then use
the :'variable' notation to quote and escape the string for the next
level of interpretation.

In hopes of making this change more transparent to "git blame",
I've split it into two steps.  This commit adds the necessary
pg_regress.c support and changes all the *.source files in-place
so that they no longer require any dynamic translation.  The next
commit will just "git mv" them into the regular sql/ and expected/
directories.

Tom Lane 07eee5a0dc Create a new type category for "internal use" types.
Historically we've put type "char" into the S (String) typcategory,
although calling it a string is a stretch considering it can only
store one byte.  (In our actual usage, it's more like an enum.)
This choice now seems wrong in view of the special heuristics
that parse_func.c and parse_coerce.c have for TYPCATEGORY_STRING:
it's not a great idea for "char" to have those preferential casting
behaviors.

Worse than that, recent patches inventing special-purpose types
like pg_node_tree have assigned typcategory S to those types,
meaning they also get preferential casting treatment that's designed
on the assumption that they can hold arbitrary text.

To fix, invent a new category TYPCATEGORY_INTERNAL for internal-use
types, and assign that to all these types.  I used code 'Z' for
lack of a better idea ('I' was already taken).

This change breaks one query in psql/describe.c, which now needs to
explicitly cast a catalog "char" column to text before concatenating
it with an undecorated literal.  Also, a test case in contrib/citext
now needs an explicit cast to convert citext to "char".  Since the
point of this change is to not have "char" be a surprisingly-available
cast target, these breakages seem OK.

Fujii Masao 815d61fcd4 postgres_fdw: Report warning when timeout expires while getting query result.
When aborting remote transaction or sending cancel request to a remote server,
postgres_fdw calls pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() to wait for the result of
transaction abort query or cancel request to arrive. It fails to get the result
if the timeout expires or a connection trouble happens.

Previously postgres_fdw reported no warning message even when the timeout
expired or a connection trouble happened in pgfdw_get_cleanup_result().
This could make the troubleshooting harder when such an event occurred.

This commit makes pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() tell its caller what trouble
(timeout or connection error) occurred, on failure, and also makes its caller
report the proper warning message based on that information.

pgfdw_report_error() in postgres_fdw gets a message from PGresult or
PGconn to report an error received from a remote server. Previously
if it could get a message from neither of them, it reported empty

Tom Lane 83884682f4 psql: include intra-query "--" comments in what's sent to the server.
psql's lexer has historically deleted dash-dash (single-line) comments
from what's collected and sent to the server.  This is inconsistent
with what it does for slash-star comments, and people have complained
before that they wish such comments would be captured in the server log.
Undoing the decision completely seems like too big a behavioral change,
however.  In particular, comments on lines preceding the start of a
query are generally not thought of as being part of that query.

What we can do to improve the situation is to capture comments that
are clearly *within* a query, that is after the first non-whitespace,
non-comment token but before the query's ending semicolon or backslash
command.  This is a nearly trivial code change, and it affects only a
few regression test results.

(It is tempting to try to apply the same rule to slash-star comments.
But it's hard to see how to do that without getting strange history
behavior for comments that cross lines, especially if the user then
starts a new query on the same line as the star-slash.  In view of
the lack of complaints, let's leave that case alone.)

xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower than the drand48 family,
but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values not only 48-bit,
and it should be much more trustworthy.  It's likely to be noticeably
faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform you

David Rowley e502150f7d Allow Memoize to operate in binary comparison mode
Memoize would always use the hash equality operator for the cache key
types to determine if the current set of parameters were the same as some
previously cached set.  Certain types such as floating points where -0.0
and +0.0 differ in their binary representation but are classed as equal by
the hash equality operator may cause problems as unless the join uses the
same operator it's possible that whichever join operator is being used
would be able to distinguish the two values.  In which case we may
accidentally return in the incorrect rows out of the cache.

To fix this here we add a binary mode to Memoize to allow it to the
current set of parameters to previously cached values by comparing
bit-by-bit rather than logically using the hash equality operator.  This
binary mode is always used for LATERAL joins and it's used for normal
joins when any of the join operators are not hashable.

Tom Lane f8abb0f5e1 postgres_fdw: suppress casts on constants in limited cases.
When deparsing an expression of the form "remote_var OP constant",
we'd normally apply a cast to the constant to make sure that the
remote parser thinks it's of the same type we do.  However, doing
so is often not necessary, and it causes problems if the user has
intentionally declared the local column as being of a different
type than the remote column.  A plausible use-case for that is
using text to represent a type that's an enum on the remote side.
A comparison on such a column will get shipped as "var = 'foo'::text",
which blows up on the remote side because there's no enum = text
operator.  But if we simply leave off the explicit cast, the
comparison will do exactly what the user wants.

It's possible to do this without major risk of semantic problems, by
relying on the longstanding parser heuristic that "if one operand of
an operator is of type unknown, while the other one has a known type,
assume that the unknown operand is also of that type".  Hence, this
patch leaves off the cast only if (a) the operator inputs have the same
type locally; (b) the constant will print as a string literal or NULL,
both of which are initially taken as type unknown; and (c) the non-Const
input is a plain foreign Var.  Rule (c) guarantees that the remote
parser will know the type of the non-Const input; moreover, it means
that if this cast-omission does cause any semantic surprises, that can
only happen in cases where the local column has a different type than
the remote column.  That wasn't guaranteed to work anyway, and this
patch should represent a net usability gain for such cases.

One point that I (tgl) remain slightly uncomfortable with is that we
will ignore an implicit RelabelType when deciding if the non-Const input
is a plain Var.  That makes it a little squishy to argue that the remote
should resolve the Const as being of the same type as its Var, because
then our Const is not the same type as our Var.  However, if we don't do
that, then this hack won't work as desired if the user chooses to use
varchar rather than text to represent some remote column.  That seems
useful, so do it like this for now.  We might have to give up the
RelabelType-ignoring bit if any problems surface.

Commits fdd965d07 and 3cd9c3b92 tested CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by
launching two separate pgbench runs concurrently.  This was needed so
that only a single client thread would run CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY,
avoiding deadlock between two CICs.  However, there's a better way,
which is to use an advisory lock to prevent concurrent CICs.  That's
better in part because the test code is shorter and more readable, but
mostly because it automatically scales things to launch an appropriate
number of CICs relative to the number of INSERT transactions.
As committed, typically half to three-quarters of the CIC transactions
were pointless because the INSERT transactions had already stopped.

In passing, remove background_pgbench, which was added to support
these tests and isn't needed anymore.  We can always put it back

postgresql_fdw_validator() and the validator functions for postgres_fdw and

Have verify_heapam.c treat unlogged relations as if they were simply
empty when in Hot Standby mode.  This brings it in line with
verify_nbtree.c, which has handled unlogged relations in the same way

In passing, lower the verbosity used when reporting that a relation has
been skipped like this, from NOTICE to DEBUG1.  This is appropriate
because the skipping behavior is only an implementation detail, needed
to work around the fact that unlogged tables don't have smgr-level
storage for their main fork when in Hot Standby mode.

Affected unlogged relations should be considered "trivially verified",
not skipped over.  They are verified in the same sense that a totally
empty relation can be verified.  This behavior seems least surprising
overall, since unlogged relations on a replica will initially be empty
if and when the replica is promoted and Hot Standby ends.

Peter Eisentraut 639a86e36a Remove Value node struct
The Value node struct is a weird construct.  It is its own node type,
but most of the time, it actually has a node type of Integer, Float,
String, or BitString.  As a consequence, the struct name and the node
type don't match most of the time, and so it has to be treated
specially a lot.  There doesn't seem to be any value in the special
construct.  There is very little code that wants to accept all Value
variants but nothing else (and even if it did, this doesn't provide
any convenient way to check it), and most code wants either just one
particular node type (usually String), or it accepts a broader set of
node types besides just Value.

This change removes the Value struct and node type and replaces them
by separate Integer, Float, String, and BitString node types that are
proper node types and structs of their own and behave mostly like
normal node types.

Also, this removes the T_Null node tag, which was previously also a
possible variant of Value but wasn't actually used outside of the
Value contained in A_Const.  Replace that by an isnull field in

Fujii Masao 449ab63505 postgres_fdw: Allow application_name of remote connection to be set via GUC.
This commit adds postgres_fdw.application_name GUC which specifies
a value for application_name configuration parameter used
when postgres_fdw establishes a connection to a foreign server.
This GUC setting always overrides application_name option of
the foreign server object. This GUC is useful when we want to
specify our own application_name per remote connection.

Previously application_name of a remote connection could be set
basically only via options of a server object. But which meant that
every session connecting to the same foreign server basically
should use the same application_name. Also if we want to change
the setting, we had to execute "ALTER SERVER ... OPTIONS ..." command.
It was inconvenient.

Amit Kapila 29b5905470 Fix toast rewrites in logical decoding.
Commit 325f2ec555 introduced pg_class.relwrite to skip operations on
tables created as part of a heap rewrite during DDL. It links such
transient heaps to the original relation OID via this new field in
pg_class but forgot to do anything about toast tables. So, logical
decoding was not able to skip operations on internally created toast
tables. This leads to an error when we tried to decode the WAL for the
next operation for which it appeared that there is a toast data where
actually it didn't have any toast data.

To fix this, we set pg_class.relwrite for internally created toast tables

Tom Lane 0e6aa8747d Avoid determining regexp subexpression matches, when possible.
Identifying the precise match locations for parenthesized subexpressions
is a fairly expensive task given the way our regexp engine works, both
at regexp compile time (where we must create an optimized NFA for each
parenthesized subexpression) and at runtime (where determining exact
match locations requires laborious search).

Up to now we've made little attempt to optimize this situation.  This
patch identifies cases where we know at compile time that we won't
need to know subexpression match locations, and teaches the regexp
compiler to not bother creating per-subexpression regexps for
parenthesis pairs that are not referenced by backrefs elsewhere in
the regexp.  (To preserve semantics, we obviously still have to
pin down the match locations of backref references.)  Users could
have obtained the same results before this by being careful to
write "non capturing" parentheses wherever possible, but few people
bother with that.

Etsuro Fujita aa769f80ed postgres_fdw: Fix issues with generated columns in foreign tables.
postgres_fdw imported generated columns from the remote tables as plain
columns, and caused failures like "ERROR: cannot insert a non-DEFAULT
value into column "foo"" when inserting into the foreign tables, as it
tried to insert values into the generated columns.  To fix, we do the
following under the assumption that generated columns in a postgres_fdw
foreign table are defined so that they represent generated columns in
the underlying remote table:

* Send DEFAULT for the generated columns to the foreign server on insert
  or update, not generated column values computed on the local server.
* Add to postgresImportForeignSchema() an option "import_generated" to
  include column generated expressions in the definitions of foreign
  tables imported from a foreign server.  The option is true by default.

The assumption seems reasonable, because that would make a query of the
postgres_fdw foreign table return values for the generated columns that
are consistent with the generated expression.

While here, fix another issue in postgresImportForeignSchema(): it tried
to include column generated expressions as column default expressions in
the foreign table definitions when the import_default option was enabled.

Per bug #16631 from Daniel Cherniy.  Back-patch to v12 where generated
columns were added.

Etsuro Fujita 1ec7fca859 postgres_fdw: Fix handling of pending asynchronous requests.
A pending asynchronous request is handled by process_pending_request(),
which previously not only processed an in-progress remote query but
performed ExecForeignScan() to produce a tuple to return to the local
server asynchronously from the result of the remote query.  But that led
to a server crash when executing a query or led to an "InstrStartNode
called twice in a row" or "InstrEndLoop called on running node" failure
when doing EXPLAIN ANALYZE of it, in cases where the plan tree for it
contained multiple async-capable nodes accessing the same
initplan/subplan that contained multiple async-capable nodes scanning
the same foreign tables as for the parent async-capable nodes, as
reported by Andrey Lepikhov.  The reason is that the second step in
process_pending_request() invoked when executing the initplan/subplan
for one of the parent async-capable nodes caused recursive execution of
the initplan/subplan for another of the parent async-capable nodes.

To fix, split process_pending_request() into the two steps and postpone
the second step until ForeignAsyncConfigureWait() is called for each of
the pending asynchronous requests.  Also, in ExecAppendAsyncEventWait()
we assumed that FDWs would register at least one wait event in a
WaitEventSet created there when they were called from
ForeignAsyncConfigureWait() in that function, but allow FDWs to register
zero wait events in the WaitEventSet; modify ExecAppendAsyncEventWait()
to just return in that case.

in.

David Rowley 245de48455 Adjust MSVC build scripts to parse Makefiles for defines
This adjusts the MSVC build scripts to look at the compile flags mentioned
in the Makefile to look for -D arguments in order to determine which
constants should be defined in Visual Studio builds.

One small anomaly that appeared as a result of this change is that the
Makefile for the ltree contrib module defined LOWER_NODE, but this was
not properly defined in the MSVC build scripts.  This meant that MSVC
builds would differ in case sensitivity in the ltree module when
compared to builds using a make build environment.  To maintain the same
behavior here we remove the -DLOWER_NODE from the Makefile and just always
define it in ltree.h for non-MSVC builds.  We need to maintain the old
behavior here as this affects the on-disk compatibility of GiST indexes
when using the ltree type.

The only other resulting change here is that REFINT_VERBOSE is now defined
for the autoinc, insert_username and moddatetime contrib modules.
Previously on MSVC, this was only defined for the refint module.  This
aligns the behavior to build environments using make as all 4 of these
modules share the same Makefile.

This patch causes EXPLAIN output to refer to objects that are in
the current session's temp schema with the "pg_temp" schema alias
rather than that schema's actual name.  This is useful for our own
testing purposes since it will stabilize EXPLAIN VERBOSE output
for such cases, allowing us to use that in regression tests.
It should be less confusing for end users too.

Since ruleutils.c needs to change behavior for this, the change
also leaks into a few other users of ruleutils.c, for example
pg_get_viewdef().  AFAICS that won't cause any problems.
We did find that aggressively trying to change this behavior
across-the-board would cause issues, but as long as "pg_temp"
only appears within generated SQL text, I think it'll be fine.

Along the way, make get_namespace_name_or_temp conform to the
same API as get_namespace_name, ie that it returns a palloc'd
string or NULL.  The current behavior hasn't caused any bugs
since no callers attempt to pfree the result, but if it gets
more widespread usage that could become a problem.

Amit Kapila a8fd13cab0 Add support for prepared transactions to built-in logical replication.
To add support for streaming transactions at prepare time into the
built-in logical replication, we need to do the following things:

* Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new two-phase API
callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol.

* Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle two-phase
transactions by replaying them on prepare.

* Add a new SUBSCRIPTION option "two_phase" to allow users to enable
two-phase transactions. We enable the two_phase once the initial data sync
is over.

We however must explicitly disable replication of two-phase transactions
during replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We
don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase,
and moreover, we don't have a replication connection open so we don't know
where to send the data anyway.

The streaming option is not allowed with this new two_phase option. This
can be done as a separate patch.

We don't allow to toggle two_phase option of a subscription because it can
lead to an inconsistent replica. For the same reason, we don't allow to
refresh the publication once the two_phase is enabled for a subscription
unless copy_data option is false.

it was considered okay to access rel->rd_smgr directly for some

relcache flushes, we had bugs arising from overreliance on a previous
RelationOpenSmgr call still being effective.

Now, very little code except that in rel.h and relcache.c should ever
touch the rd_smgr field directly.  The normal coding rule is to use
RelationGetSmgr(rel) and not expect the result to be valid for longer
than one smgr function call.  There are a couple of places where using
the function every single time seemed like overkill, but they are now
annotated with large warning comments.

Most error messages about a relkind that was not supported or

    "relation \"%s\" is not a table, foreign table, or materialized view"

This style can become verbose and tedious to maintain.  Moreover, it's
not very helpful: If I'm trying to create a comment on a TOAST table,
which is not supported, then the information that I could have created
a comment on a materialized view is pointless.

Instead, write the primary error message shorter and saying more
directly that what was attempted is not possible.  Then, in the detail
message, explain that the operation is not supported for the relkind
the object was.  To simplify that, add a new function
errdetail_relkind_not_supported() that does this.

Fujii Masao d854720df6 postgres_fdw: Tighten up allowed values for batch_size, fetch_size options.
Previously the values such as '100$%$#$#', '9,223,372,' were accepted and
treated as valid integers for postgres_fdw options batch_size and fetch_size.
Whereas this is not the case with fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost options
for which an error is thrown. This was because endptr was not used
while converting strings to integers using strtol.

This commit changes the logic so that it uses parse_int function
instead of strtol as it serves the purpose by returning false in case
if it is unable to convert the string to integer. Note that
this function also rounds off the values such as '100.456' to 100 and
'100.567' or '100.678' to 101.

While on this, use parse_real for fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost options.

Since parse_int and parse_real are being used for reloptions and GUCs,
it is more appropriate to use in postgres_fdw rather than using strtol
and strtod directly.

the mainline code where they'd usually be a waste of cycles, we can
look at the query's rangetable instead.

This change does mean that we'll be printing query aliases (if any
were used) rather than the table or column's true name.  But that
doesn't seem like a bad thing: it's certainly a more useful definition
in self-join cases, for instance.  In any case, it seems unlikely that
any applications would be depending on this detail, so it seems safe
to change.

Patch by me.  Original complaint by Andres Freund; Bharath Rupireddy
noted the connection to conversion_error_callback.

Tom Lane 8021770909 Further stabilize postgres_fdw test.
The queries involving ft1_nopw don't stably return the same row
anymore.  I surmise that an autovacuum hitting "S 1"."T 1"
right after the updates introduced by f61db909d/5843659d0 freed
some space, changing where subsequent insertions get stored.
It's only by good luck that these results were stable before,
though, since a LIMIT without ORDER BY isn't well defined,
and it's not like we've ever treated that table as append-only
in this test script.

Since we only really care whether these commands succeed or not,
just replace "SELECT *" with "SELECT 1".

Tom Lane a443c1b2d6 Allow non-quoted identifiers as isolation test session/step names.
For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that
session and step names be written with double quotes.  This is
fairly tedious and does little for test readability, especially
since the names that people actually choose almost always look
like normal identifiers.  Hence, let's tweak the lexer to allow
SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings.

(They're SQL-like, not exactly SQL, because I didn't add any
case-folding logic.  Also there's no provision for U&"..." names,
not that anyone's likely to care.)

There is one incompatibility introduced by this change: if you write
"foo""bar" with no space, that used to be taken as two identifiers,
but now it's just one identifier with an embedded quote mark.

I converted all the src/test/isolation/ specfiles to remove
unnecessary double quotes, but stopped there because my
eyes were glazing over already.

Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this
isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes.

Tom Lane 4a054069a3 Improve display of query results in isolation tests.
Previously, isolationtester displayed SQL query results using some
ad-hoc code that clearly hadn't had much effort expended on it.
Field values longer than 14 characters weren't separated from
the next field, and usually caused misalignment of the columns
too.  Also there was no visual separation of a query's result
from subsequent isolationtester output.  This made test result
files confusing and hard to read.

To improve matters, let's use libpq's PQprint() function.  Although
that's long since unused by psql, it's still plenty good enough
for the purpose here.

Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this
isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes.

Tom Lane 741d7f1047 Use annotations to reduce instability of isolation-test results.
We've long contended with isolation test results that aren't entirely
stable.  Some test scripts insert long delays to try to force stable
results, which is not terribly desirable; but other erratic failure
modes remain, causing unrepeatable buildfarm failures.  I've spent a
fair amount of time trying to solve this by improving the server-side
support code, without much success: that way is fundamentally unable
to cope with diffs that stem from chance ordering of arrival of
messages from different server processes.

We can improve matters on the client side, however, by annotating
the test scripts themselves to show the desired reporting order
of events that might occur in different orders.  This patch adds
three types of annotations to deal with (a) test steps that might or
might not complete their waits before the isolationtester can see them
waiting; (b) test steps in different sessions that can legitimately
complete in either order; and (c) NOTIFY messages that might arrive
before or after the completion of a step in another session.  We might
need more annotation types later, but this seems to be enough to deal
with the instabilities we've seen in the buildfarm.  It also lets us
get rid of all the long delays that were previously used, cutting more
than a minute off the runtime of the isolation tests.

Back-patch to all supported branches, because the buildfarm
instabilities affect all the branches, and because it seems desirable
to keep isolationtester's capabilities the same across all branches
to simplify possible future back-patching of tests.
