If we've got a relatively straightforward join between two tables,
this pushes that join down to the remote server instead of fetching
the rows for each table and performing the join locally. Some cases
are not handled yet, such as SEMI and ANTI joins. Also, we don't
yet attempt to create presorted join paths or parameterized join
paths even though these options do get tried for a base relation
scan. Nevertheless, this seems likely to be a very significant win
in many practical cases.

The previous RequestAddinLWLocks() method had several disadvantages.
First, the locks would be in the main tranche; we've recently decided
that it's useful for LWLocks used for separate purposes to have
separate tranche IDs. Second, there wasn't any correlation between
what code called RequestAddinLWLocks() and what code called
LWLockAssign(); when multiple modules are in use, it could become
quite difficult to troubleshoot problems where LWLockAssign() ran out
of locks. To fix, create a concept of named LWLock tranches which
can be used either by extension or by core code.

Commit e09996ff8d removed some ad-hoc code in hstore_to_json_loose
that determined whether an hstore value string looked like a number,
in favor of calling the JSON parser's is-it-a-number code. However,
it neglected the fact that the exact same code appeared in
hstore_to_jsonb_loose.
This is not a bug, exactly, because the requirements on the two functions
are not the same: hstore_to_json_loose must accept only syntactically legal
JSON numbers as numbers, or it will produce invalid JSON output, as per bug
#12070 which spawned the prior commit. But hstore_to_jsonb_loose could
accept anything that numeric_in will eat, other than Inf and NaN.
Nonetheless it seems surprising and arbitrary that the two functions don't
use the same rules for what is a number versus what is a string; especially
since they did use the same rules before the aforesaid commit. For one
thing, that means that doing hstore_to_json_loose and then casting to jsonb
can produce results different from doing just hstore_to_jsonb_loose.
Hence, change hstore_to_jsonb_loose's logic to match hstore_to_json_loose,
ie, hstore values are treated as numbers when they match the JSON syntax
for numbers.
No back-patch, since this is more in the nature of a definitional change

Commit e09996ff8d was one brick shy of a load: it didn't insist

numbers. Per bug #13906 from Dmitry Ryabov.

Back-patch to all affected branches.
The upcoming patch to allow join pushdown in postgres_fdw needs to use
this code multiple times, which requires moving it to deparse.c. That
seems like a good idea anyway, so do that now both on general principle
and to simplify the future patch.
Inspired by a patch by Shigeru Hanada and Ashutosh Bapat, but I did
it a little differently than what that patch did.
Previously, postgres_fdw's connection cache was keyed by user OID and
server OID, but this can lead to multiple connections when it's not
really necessary. In particular, if all relevant users are mapped to
the public user mapping, then their connection options are certainly
the same, so one connection can be used for all of them.
While we're cleaning things up here, drop the "server" argument to
GetConnection(), which isn't really needed. This saves a few cycles
because callers no longer have to look this up; the function itself
does, but only when establishing a new connection, not when reusing
an existing one.
Ashutosh Bapat, with a few small changes by me.
Commit e529cd4ffa introduced an Assert requiring NAMEDATALEN to be
less than MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN, which has been 255 for a long time.
Since up to that instant we had always allowed NAMEDATALEN to be
substantially more than that, this was ill-advised.
It's debatable whether we need MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN at all (versus
putting a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the loop), or whether it has to be
so tight; but this patch takes the narrower approach of just not applying
the MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN limit to calls from the parser.
Trusting the parser for this seems reasonable, first because the strings
are limited to NAMEDATALEN which is unlikely to be hugely more than 256,
and second because the maximum distance is tightly constrained by
MAX_FUZZY_DISTANCE (though we'd forgotten to make use of that limit in one
place). That means the cost is not really O(mn) but more like O(max(m,n)).
Relaxing the limit for user-supplied calls is left for future research;
given the lack of complaints to date, it doesn't seem very high priority.
In passing, fix confusion between lengths-in-bytes and lengths-in-chars
in comments and error messages.
Per gripe from Kevin Day; solution suggested by Robert Haas. Back-patch
to 9.5 where the unwanted restriction was introduced.
GIN had some minor issues too, mostly using "internal" where something
else would be more appropriate. I went with the same approach as in
9ff60273e3, namely preferring the opclass' indexed datatype for
arguments that receive an operator RHS value, even if that's not
necessarily what they really are.
Again, this is with an eye to having a uniform rule for ginvalidate()
to check support function signatures.
The conventions specified by the GiST SGML documentation were widely
ignored. For example, the strategy-number argument for "consistent" and
"distance" functions is specified to be a smallint, but most of the
built-in support functions declared it as an integer, and for that matter
the core code passed it using Int32GetDatum not Int16GetDatum. None of
that makes any real difference at runtime, but it's quite confusing for
newcomers to the code, and it makes it very hard to write an amvalidate()
function that checks support function signatures. So let's try to instill
some consistency here.
Another similar issue is that the "query" argument is not of a single
well-defined type, but could have different types depending on the strategy
(corresponding to search operators with different righthand-side argument
types). Some of the functions threw up their hands and declared the query
argument as being of "internal" type, which surely isn't right ("any" would
have been more appropriate); but the majority position seemed to be to
declare it as being of the indexed data type, corresponding to a search
operator with both input types the same. So I've specified a convention
that that's what to do always.
Also, the result of the "union" support function actually must be of the
index's storage type, but the documentation suggested declaring it to
return "internal", and some of the functions followed that. Standardize
on telling the truth, instead.
Similarly, standardize on declaring the "same" function's inputs as
being of the storage type, not "internal".
Also, somebody had forgotten to add the "recheck" argument to both
the documentation of the "distance" support function and all of their
SQL declarations, even though the C code was happily using that argument.
Clean that up too.
Fix up some other omissions in the docs too, such as documenting that
union's second input argument is vestigial.
So far as the errors in core function declarations go, we can just fix
pg_proc.h and bump catversion. Adjusting the erroneous declarations in
contrib modules is more debatable: in principle any change in those
scripts should involve an extension version bump, which is a pain.
However, since these changes are purely cosmetic and make no functional
difference, I think we can get away without doing that.
This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.

Commit 866566a690 is insufficient to prevent dump/reload failures
when using transform modules in a database with both plpython2 and
plpython3 installed. The reason is that the transform extension scripts
use DO blocks as a mechanism to pull in the libpython library before
creating the transform function. It's necessary to preload the library
because the dynamic loader won't do it for us on every platform, leading
to "unresolved symbol" failures when the transform library is loaded.
But it's *not* necessary to execute Python code, and doing so will
provoke a multiple-Pythons-are-loaded error even after the preceding
commit.
To fix, use LOAD instead of a DO block. That requires superuser privilege,
but creation of a C function does anyway. It also embeds knowledge of
the underlying library name for each PL language; but that's wired into
the initdb-time contents of pg_pltemplate too, so that doesn't seem like
a large problem either. Note that CREATE TRANSFORM as such doesn't call
the language module at all.

too.
For a regular table, we know which indexes are present and therefore
test whether the ordering provided by each such index is useful. Here,
we take the opposite approach: guess what orderings would be useful if
they could be generated cheaply, and then ask the remote side what those
will cost.

Commit e7cb7ee145 provided basic
infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan
provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan.
However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need
for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail
an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted
for a plan containing a pushed-down join. To fix, adjust the EPQ
machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making
those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has
the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant
slot.
To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make
use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan
method. Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can
be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something
else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

Rather than relying on other extensions to be available for installation,
let's just add some test objects to the postgres_fdw extension itself
within the regression script.
The user can whitelist specified extension(s) in the foreign server's
options, whereupon we will treat immutable functions and operators of those
extensions as candidates to be sent for remote execution.
Whitelisting an extension in this way basically promises that the extension
exists on the remote server and behaves compatibly with the local instance.
We have no way to prove that formally, so we have to rely on the user to
get it right. But this seems like something that people can usually get
right in practice.
We might in future allow functions and operators to be whitelisted
individually, but extension granularity is a very convenient special case,
so it got done first.
The patch as-committed lacks any regression tests, which is unfortunate,
but introducing dependencies on other extensions for testing purposes
would break "make installcheck" scenarios, which is worse. I have some
ideas about klugy ways around that, but it seems like material for a
separate patch. For the moment, leave the problem open.
Paul Ramsey, hacked up a bit more by me
If the join problem's entire ORDER BY clause can be pushed to the
remote server, consider a path that adds this ORDER BY clause. If
use_remote_estimate is on, we cost this path using an additional
remote EXPLAIN. If not, we just estimate that the path costs 20%
more, which is intended to be large enough that we won't request a
remote sort when it's not helpful, but small enough that we'll have
the remote side do the sort when in doubt. In some cases, the remote
sort might actually be free, because the remote query plan might
happen to produce output that is ordered the way we need, but without
remote estimates we have no way of knowing that.
It might also be useful to request sorted output from the remote side
if it enables an efficient merge join, but this patch doesn't attempt
to handle that case.

This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating
the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual
machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized
nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if
it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter
values.
This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a
new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which
push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they
have chosen to push down. Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5,
even though the bug is not new in 9.5.

Security: CVE-2015-5288
If we can't read the query texts file (whether because out-of-memory, or
for some other reason), give up and reset the file to empty, discarding all
stored query texts, though not the statistics per se. We used to leave
things alone and hope for better luck next time, but the problem is that
the file is only going to get bigger and even harder to slurp into memory.
Better to do something that will get us out of trouble.
Likewise reset the file to empty for any other failure within gc_qtexts().
The previous behavior after a write error was to discard query texts but
not do anything to truncate the file, which is just weird.
Also, increase the maximum supported file size from MaxAllocSize to
MaxAllocHugeSize; this makes it more likely we'll be able to do a garbage
collection successfully.
Also, fix recalculation of mean_query_len within entry_dealloc() to match
the calculation in gc_qtexts(). The previous coding overlooked the
possibility of dropped texts (query_len == -1) and would underestimate the
mean of the remaining entries in such cases, thus possibly causing excess
garbage collection cycles.
In passing, add some errdetail to the log entry that complains about
insufficient memory to read the query texts file, which after all was
Jim Nasby's original complaint.

Backpatch: 9.4-, where replication slots were added
If we have a local Var of say varchar type with default collation, and
we apply a RelabelType to convert that to text with default collation, we
don't want to consider that as creating an FDW_COLLATE_UNSAFE situation.
It should be okay to compare that to a remote Var, so long as the remote
Var determines the comparison collation. (When we actually ship such an
expression to the remote side, the local Var would become a Param with
default collation, meaning the remote Var would in fact control the
comparison collation, because non-default implicit collation overrides
default implicit collation in parse_collate.c.) To fix, be more precise
about what FDW_COLLATE_NONE means: it applies either to a noncollatable
data type or to a collatable type with default collation, if that collation
can't be traced to a remote Var. (When it can, FDW_COLLATE_SAFE is
appropriate.) We were essentially using that interpretation already at
the Var/Const/Param level, but we weren't bubbling it up properly.
An alternative fix would be to introduce a separate FDW_COLLATE_DEFAULT
value to describe the second situation, but that would add more code
without changing the actual behavior, so it didn't seem worthwhile.
Also, since we're clarifying the rule to be that we care about whether
operator/function input collations match, there seems no need to fail
immediately upon seeing a Const/Param/non-foreign-Var with nondefault
collation. We only have to reject if it appears in a collation-sensitive
context (for example, "var IS NOT NULL" is perfectly safe from a collation
standpoint, whatever collation the var has). So just set the state to
UNSAFE rather than failing immediately.

thinking in commit ed3ddf918b, so back-patch

Recent commit 0426f349e changed handling of error context reports
in such a way to have a minor effect on the sepgsql regression
output. Adapt the expected output file to suit. Since that commit
was HEAD only, so is this one.
Remove the code in plpgsql that suppressed the innermost line of CONTEXT
for messages emitted by RAISE commands. That was never more than a quick
backwards-compatibility hack, and it's pretty silly in cases where the
RAISE is nested in several levels of function. What's more, it violated
our design theory that verbosity of error reports should be controlled
on the client side not the server side.
To alleviate the resulting noise increase, introduce a feature in libpq
and psql whereby the CONTEXT field of messages can be suppressed, either
always or only for non-error messages. Printing CONTEXT for errors only
is now their default behavior.
The actual code changes here are pretty small, but the effects on the

The regression tests for sepgsql were broken by changes in the
base distro as-shipped policies. Specifically, definition of
unconfined_t in the system default policy was changed to bypass
multi-category rules, which the regression test depended on.
Fix that by defining a custom privileged domain
(sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t) and using it instead of system's
unconfined_t domain. The new sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t domain
performs almost like the current unconfined_t, but restricted by
multi-category policy as the traditional unconfined_t was.
The custom policy module is a self defined domain, and so should not
be affected by related future system policy changes. However, it still
uses the unconfined_u:unconfined_r pair for selinux-user and role.
Those definitions have not been changed for several years and seem
less risky to rely on than the unconfined_t domain. Additionally, if
we define custom user/role, they would need to be manually defined
at the operating system level, adding more complexity to an already
non-standard and complex regression test.

fine with the older distros with original policy set (e.g. RHEL 6.x),
and on which the existing regression tests work fine. We might want
eventually change 9.1 sepgsql regression tests to be more independent

The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without

implement a TSM. (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.) Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having

test_decoding used fastgetattr() to extract column values. That's wrong

Newer Python versions randomize the hash seed for dictionaries,
resulting in a random output order, which messes up the regression test
diffs.
Instead, use Python assert to compare the dictionaries with their
expected value.
Fix some places where pgindent did silly stuff, often because project

Remove a bunch of "extern Datum foo(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);" declarations that
are no longer needed now that PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(foo) provides that.
Some of these were evidently missed in commit e7128e8dbb, but others
were cargo-culted in in code added since then. Possibly that can be blamed
in part on the fact that we'd not fixed relevant documentation examples,
which I've now done.
Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were
also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two
function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one

Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos.
For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/
"through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira.
Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to
make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't
feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.
Defer lookup of opfamily and input type of a of a user specified opclass
until the optimizer selects among available unique indexes; and store
the opclass in the parse analyzed tree instead. The primary reason for
doing this is that for rule deparsing it's easier to use the opclass
than the previous representation.
While at it also rename a variable in the inference code to better fit
it's purpose.
This is separate from the actual fixes for deparsing to make review
easier.
The plain C string language name needs to be wrapped in makeString() so

This has been the predominant outcome. When the output of decrypting
with a wrong key coincidentally resembled an OpenPGP packet header,
pgcrypto could instead report "Corrupt data", "Not text data" or
"Unsupported compression algorithm". The distinct "Corrupt data"
message added no value. The latter two error messages misled when the
decrypted payload also exhibited fundamental integrity problems. Worse,
error message variance in other systems has enabled cryptologic attacks;
see RFC 4880 section "14. Security Considerations". Whether these
pgcrypto behaviors are likewise exploitable is unknown.

Security: CVE-2015-3167
The previous coding in hstore_plpython and ltree_plpython wiped out any
values set by the base makefiles. This at least had the effect of running
the tests in "regression" not "contrib_regression" as expected. These
being pretty new modules, there might be other bad effects we'd not
noticed yet.
This SQL standard functionality allows to aggregate data by different
GROUP BY clauses at once. Each grouping set returns rows with columns
grouped by in other sets set to NULL.
This could previously be achieved by doing each grouping as a separate
query, conjoined by UNION ALLs. Besides being considerably more concise,
grouping sets will in many cases be faster, requiring only one scan over
the underlying data.
The current implementation of grouping sets only supports using sorting
for input. Individual sets that share a sort order are computed in one
pass. If there are sets that don't share a sort order, additional sort &
aggregation steps are performed. These additional passes are sourced by
the previous sort step; thus avoiding repeated scans of the source data.
The code is structured in a way that adding support for purely using
hash aggregation or a mix of hashing and sorting is possible. Sorting
was chosen to be supported first, as it is the most generic method of
implementation.
Instead of, as in an earlier versions of the patch, representing the
chain of sort and aggregation steps as full blown planner and executor
nodes, all but the first sort are performed inside the aggregation node
itself. This avoids the need to do some unusual gymnastics to handle
having to return aggregated and non-aggregated tuples from underlying
nodes, as well as having to shut down underlying nodes early to limit
memory usage. The optimizer still builds Sort/Agg node to describe each
phase, but they're not part of the plan tree, but instead additional
data for the aggregation node. They're a convenient and preexisting way
to describe aggregation and sorting. The first (and possibly only) sort
step is still performed as a separate execution step. That retains
similarity with existing group by plans, makes rescans fairly simple,
avoids very deep plans (leading to slow explains) and easily allows to
avoid the sorting step if the underlying data is sorted by other means.
A somewhat ugly side of this patch is having to deal with a grammar
ambiguity between the new CUBE keyword and the cube extension/functions
named cube (and rollup). To avoid breaking existing deployments of the
cube extension it has not been renamed, neither has cube been made a
reserved keyword. Instead precedence hacking is used to make GROUP BY
cube(..) refer to the CUBE grouping sets feature, and not the function
cube(). To actually group by a function cube(), unlikely as that might
be, the function name has to be quoted.

If a postgres_fdw foreign table is a non-locked source relation in an
UPDATE, DELETE, or SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE, and the query selects its
ctid column, the wrong value would be returned if an EvalPlanQual
recheck occurred. This happened because the foreign table's result row
was copied via the ROW_MARK_COPY code path, and EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks
just unconditionally set the reconstructed tuple's t_self to "invalid".
To fix that, we can have EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks copy the composite
datum's t_ctid field, and be sure to initialize that along with t_self
when postgres_fdw constructs a tuple to return.
If we just did that much then EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks would start
returning "(0,0)" as ctid for all other ROW_MARK_COPY cases, which perhaps
does not matter much, but then again maybe it might. The cause of that is
that heap_form_tuple, which is the ultimate source of all composite datums,
simply leaves t_ctid as zeroes in newly constructed tuples. That seems
like a bad idea on general principles: a field that's really not been
initialized shouldn't appear to have a valid value. So let's eat the
trivial additional overhead of doing "ItemPointerSetInvalid(&(td->t_ctid))"
in heap_form_tuple.
This closes out our handling of Etsuro Fujita's report that tableoid and
ctid weren't correctly set in postgres_fdw EvalPlanQual cases. Along the
way we did a great deal of work to improve FDWs' ability to control row
locking behavior; which was not wasted effort by any means, but it didn't
end up being a fix for this problem because that feature would be too
expensive for postgres_fdw to use all the time.
Although the fix for the tableoid misbehavior was back-patched, I'm
hesitant to do so here; it seems far less likely that people would care
about remote ctid than tableoid, and even such a minor behavioral change
as this in heap_form_tuple is perhaps best not back-patched. So commit
to HEAD only, at least for the moment.

The new function allows to estimate bloat and other table level statics
in a faster, but approximate, way. It does so by using information from
the free space map for pages marked as all visible in the visibility
map. The rest of the table is actually read and free space/bloat is
measured accurately. In many cases that allows to get bloat information
much quicker, causing less IO.

Commit e7cb7ee145 included some design
decisions that seem pretty questionable to me, and there was quite a lot
of stuff not to like about the documentation and comments. Clean up
as follows:
* Consider foreign joins only between foreign tables on the same server,
rather than between any two foreign tables with the same underlying FDW
handler function. In most if not all cases, the FDW would simply have had
to apply the same-server restriction itself (far more expensively, both for
lack of caching and because it would be repeated for each combination of
input sub-joins), or else risk nasty bugs. Anyone who's really intent on
doing something outside this restriction can always use the
set_join_pathlist_hook.
* Rename fdw_ps_tlist/custom_ps_tlist to fdw_scan_tlist/custom_scan_tlist
to better reflect what they're for, and allow these custom scan tlists
to be used even for base relations.
* Change make_foreignscan() API to include passing the fdw_scan_tlist
value, since the FDW is required to set that. Backwards compatibility
doesn't seem like an adequate reason to expect FDWs to set it in some
ad-hoc extra step, and anyway existing FDWs can just pass NIL.
* Change the API of path-generating subroutines of add_paths_to_joinrel,
and in particular that of GetForeignJoinPaths and set_join_pathlist_hook,
so that various less-used parameters are passed in a struct rather than
as separate parameter-list entries. The objective here is to reduce the
probability that future additions to those parameter lists will result in
source-level API breaks for users of these hooks. It's possible that this
is even a small win for the core code, since most CPU architectures can't
pass more than half a dozen parameters efficiently anyway. I kept root,
joinrel, outerrel, innerrel, and jointype as separate parameters to reduce
code churn in joinpath.c --- in particular, putting jointype into the
struct would have been problematic because of the subroutines' habit of
changing their local copies of that variable.
* Avoid ad-hocery in ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo. It was probably all
right for it to know about IndexOnlyScan, but if the list is to grow
we should refactor the knowledge out to the callers.
* Restore nodeForeignscan.c's previous use of the relcache to avoid
extra GetFdwRoutine lookups for base-relation scans.
* Lots of cleanup of documentation and missed comments. Re-order some
code additions into more logical places.

Buildfarm member magpie sorted the output differently than intended by
Peter. "Resolve" the problem by simply not aggregating, it's not that
many lines.
The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to
raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting.
ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a
inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or
by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the
constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE
SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to
both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the
optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being
executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple
proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the
pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias.
This feature is often referred to as upsert.
This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative
insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first
does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a
violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted
tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a
matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken.
If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is
deemed inserted.
To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table
named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT
INTO now can alias its target table.

sufficient. The required permission could be inferred from the top level

Also change BrinOpcInfo to record each stored type's typecache entry
instead of just the OID. Turns out that the full type cache is
necessary in brin_deform_tuple: the original code used the indexed
type's byval and typlen properties to extract the stored tuple, which is
correct in Minmax; but in other implementations that want to store
something different, that's wrong. The realization that this is a bug
comes from Emre also, but I did not use his patch.
I also adopted Emre's regression test code (with smallish changes),
which is more complete.
These functions should return SETOF TEXT[], like the core functions they
are wrappers for; but they were incorrectly declared as returning just
TEXT[]. This mistake had two results: first, if there was no match you got
a scalar null result, whereas what you should get is an empty set (zero
rows). Second, the 'g' flag was effectively ignored, since you would get
only one result array even if there were multiple matches, as reported by
Jeff Certain.
While ignoring 'g' is a clear bug, the behavior for no matches might well
have been thought to be the intended behavior by people who hadn't compared
it carefully to the core regexp_matches() functions. So we should tread
carefully about introducing this change in the back branches. Still, it
clearly is a bug and so providing some fix is desirable.
After discussion, the conclusion was to introduce the change in a 1.1
version of the citext extension (as we would need to do anyway); 1.0 still
contains the incorrect behavior. 1.1 is the default and only available
version in HEAD, but it is optional in the back branches, where 1.0 remains
the default version. People wishing to adopt the fix in back branches will
need to explicitly do ALTER EXTENSION citext UPDATE TO '1.1'. (I also
provided a downgrade script in the back branches, so people could go back
to 1.0 if necessary.)
This should be called out as an incompatible change in the 9.5 release
notes, although we'll also document it in the next set of back-branch
release notes. The notes should mention that any views or rules that use
citext's regexp_matches() functions will need to be dropped before
upgrading to 1.1, and then recreated again afterwards.
Back-patch to 9.1. The bug goes all the way back to citext's introduction
in 8.4, but pre-9.1 there is no extension mechanism with which to manage
the change. Given the lack of previous complaints it seems unnecessary to
change this behavior in 9.0, anyway.
These modules were all missing essential Windows scaffolding, including
resources files and descriptions, and links to the relevant library
import files. This latter item means that the modules can't be built
with pgxs on Windows, as we don't install the import files. If we ever
decide to install them this restriction could probably be removed.
Also, as with plperl we need to make sure that perl's CORE directory is
last on the include list, as on Windows it appears to contain some
headers with names that clash with names of some headers we include.
Combine the two places that set CPPFLAGS into one. Also, some settings
should be restricted to Windows only. More precisely, -Wno-comment is
a GCC-only option, but Windows in a makefile implies GCC at the moment.
Also, since -Wno-comment is more properly a preprocessor option, move it
to CPPFLAGS to simplify things a bit.
This involves moving perl's CORE library to the end of the include list,
and adding other compilation settings that plperl uses. This won't
completely fix the breakage currently being seen by gcc builds on
Windows, but it will let the build get further, and should be wholly
benign, if not beneficial, on *nix.
This does four basic things. First, it provides convenience routines
to coordinate the startup and shutdown of parallel workers. Second,
it synchronizes various pieces of state (e.g. GUCs, combo CID
mappings, transaction snapshot) from the parallel group leader to the
worker processes. Third, it prohibits various operations that would
result in unsafe changes to that state while parallelism is active.
Finally, it propagates events that would result in an ErrorResponse,
NoticeResponse, or NotifyResponse message being sent to the client
from the parallel workers back to the master, from which they can then
be sent on to the client.

The "check" target no longer needs to depend on "all", because it now
runs "install" directly, which in turn depends on "all". Doing both
will cause problems with parallel make, because two builds will run next
to each other.
Also remove the redirection of the temp-install output into a log file.
This was appropriate when this was done from within pg_regress, but now
it's just a regular make run, and especially with the above changes this
will now take the place of running the "all" target before the test
suites.
problem report by Jeff Janes, patch in part by Michael Paquier
When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two
related problems exist:
* How to safely keep track of replication progress
* How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row;
e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups
The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of
three parts:
1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup.
2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each
replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and
crash safe manner.
3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a
replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex
replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out.
Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting
additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much
less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various
replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The
infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable.
This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit
timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities,
except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate
with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via
SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced
in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem.
For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be
tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots
GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there
doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one.

Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",

to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.
The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables

The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade

Now that we use CRC-32C in WAL and the control file, the "traditional" and

Locking and updating the same tuple repeatedly led to some strange
multixacts being created which had several subtransactions of the same
parent transaction holding locks of the same strength. However,
once a subxact of the current transaction holds a lock of a given
strength, it's not necessary to acquire the same lock again. This made
some coding patterns much slower than required.
The fix is twofold. First we change HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate to return
HeapTupleBeingUpdated for the case where the current transaction is
already a single-xid locker for the given tuple; it used to return
HeapTupleMayBeUpdated for that case. The new logic is simpler, and the
change to pgrowlocks is a testament to that: previously we needed to
check for the single-xid locker separately in a very ugly way. That
test is simpler now.
As fallout from the HTSU change, some of its callers need to be amended
so that tuple-locked-by-own-transaction is taken into account in the
BeingUpdated case rather than the MayBeUpdated case. For many of them
there is no difference; but heap_delete() and heap_update now check
explicitely and do not grab tuple lock in that case.
The HTSU change also means that routine MultiXactHasRunningRemoteMembers
introduced in commit 11ac4c73cb is no longer necessary and can be
removed; the case that used to require it is now handled naturally as
result of the changes to heap_delete and heap_update.
The second part of the fix to the performance issue is to adjust
heap_lock_tuple to avoid the slowness:
1. Previously we checked for the case that our own transaction already
held a strong enough lock and returned MayBeUpdated, but only in the
multixact case. Now we do it for the plain Xid case as well, which
saves having to LockTuple.
2. If the current transaction is the only locker of the tuple (but with
a lock not as strong as what we need; otherwise it would have been
caught in the check mentioned above), we can skip sleeping on the
multixact, and instead go straight to create an updated multixact with
the additional lock strength.
3. Most importantly, make sure that both the single-xid-locker case and
the multixact-locker case optimization are applied always. We do this
by checking both in a single place, rather than them appearing in two
separate portions of the routine -- something that is made possible by
the HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate API change. Previously we would only check
for the single-xid case when HTSU returned MayBeUpdated, and only
checked for the multixact case when HTSU returned BeingUpdated. This
was at odds with what HTSU actually returned in one case: if our own
transaction was locker in a multixact, it returned MayBeUpdated, so the
optimization never applied. This is what led to the large multixacts in
the first place.
Per bug report #8470 by Oskari Saarenmaa.
This would have been worth doing on general principle anyway, but the
recent addition of an expression syntax to pgbench makes it an even
better idea than it would have been otherwise.

In 83ff1618 we defined integer limits iff they're not provided by the
system. That turns out not to be the greatest idea because there's
different ways some datatypes can be represented. E.g. on OSX PG's 64bit
datatype will be a 'long int', but OSX unconditionally uses 'long
long'. That disparity then can lead to warnings, e.g. around printf
formats.
One way to fix that would be to back int64 using stdint.h's
int64_t. While a good idea it's not that easy to implement. We would
e.g. need to include stdint.h in our external headers, which we don't
today. Also computing the correct int64 printf formats in that case is
nontrivial.
Instead simply prefix the integer limits with PG_ and define them
unconditionally. I've adjusted all the references to them in code, but
not the ones in comments; the latter seems unnecessary to me.
