Without this fix, dropping a role can sometimes result in parallel
query failures in sessions that have used "SET ROLE" to assume the
dropped role, even if that setting isn't active any more.

In passing, don't insist on rsi->expectedDesc being set unless we
actually need it; this allows succeeding in a couple of cases where
PL/Perl functions returning setof composite would have failed before,
and makes the error message more apropos in other cases.

The previous comment (which was copied as boilerplate from one file
to the next) implied that it was the executor node itself which was
being serialized, but that's not right. We're not serializing
the executor nodes; we're just allowing them to store some
additional information in DSM. Adjusts the comment to reflect this.

This is already present in the CREATE TABLE documentation, but it's
nicer not to have to refer to CREATE TABLE to find out the syntax
for ALTER TABLE.

Commit d5b760ecb wasn't quite right, on second thought: if the
caller didn't ask for column names then it would happily emit
more Vars than if the caller did ask for column names. This
is surely not a good idea. Advance the aliasp_item whether or
not we're preparing a colnames list.
expandRTE() supposed that an RTE_SUBQUERY subquery must have exactly
as many non-junk tlist items as the RTE has column aliases for it.
This was true at the time the code was written, and is still true so
far as parse analysis is concerned --- but when the function is used
during planning, the subquery might have appeared through insertion
of a view that now has more columns than it did when the outer query
was parsed. This results in a core dump if, for instance, we have
to expand a whole-row Var that references the subquery.
To avoid crashing, we can either stop expanding the RTE when we run
out of aliases, or invent new aliases for the added columns. While
the latter might be more useful, the former is consistent with what
expandRTE() does for composite-returning functions in the RTE_FUNCTION
case, so it seems like we'd better do it that way.
Per bug #14876 from Samuel Horwitz. This has been busted since commit
ff1ea2173 allowed views to acquire more columns, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

This was always intended to work, but due to an oversight in
max_parallel_hazard_walker, it didn't. In testing, we missed the
fact that it was only working for custom plans, where the parameter
value has been substituted for the parameter itself early enough
that everything worked. In a generic plan, the Param node survives
and must be treated as parallel-safe. SerializeParamList provides
for the transmission of parameter values to workers.

On closer investigation, commits f3ea3e3e8 et al were a few bricks
shy of a load. What we need is not so much to lock down the result
type of a FieldSelect, as to lock down the existence of the column
it's trying to extract. Otherwise, we can break it by dropping that
column. The dependency on the result type is then held indirectly
through the column, and doesn't need to be recorded explicitly.
Out of paranoia, I left in the code to record a dependency on the
result type, but it's used only if we can't identify the pg_class OID
for the column. That shouldn't ever happen right now, AFAICS, but
it seems possible that in future the input node could be marked as
being of type RECORD rather than some specific composite type.
Likewise for FieldStore.
Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

If we try to run a parallel plan in serial mode because, for example,
it's going to be scanned via a cursor, but for some reason we're
already in parallel mode (for example because an outer query is
running in parallel), we'd incorrectly try to launch workers.
Fix by adding a flag to the EState, so that we can be certain that
ExecutePlan() and ExecGather()/ExecGatherMerge() will have the same
idea about whether we are executing serially or in parallel.

Since PL/Tcl does little with SQL types internally, this is just a
matter of making it work with composite-domain function arguments
and results.

This is the last major omission in our domains feature: you can now
make a domain over anything that's not a pseudotype.
The major complication from an implementation standpoint is that places
that might be creating tuples of a domain type now need to be prepared
to apply domain_check(). It seems better that unprepared code fail
with an error like "<type> is not composite" than that it silently fail
to apply domain constraints. Therefore, relevant infrastructure like
get_func_result_type() and lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() has been adjusted
to treat domain-over-composite as a distinct case that unprepared code
won't recognize, rather than just transparently treating it the same
as plain composite. This isn't a 100% solution to the possibility of
overlooked domain checks, but it catches most places.
In passing, improve typcache.c's support for domains (it can now cache
the identity of a domain's base type), and rewrite the argument handling
logic in jsonfuncs.c's populate_record[set]_worker to reduce duplicative
per-call lookups.
I believe this is code-complete so far as the core and contrib code go.
The PLs need varying amounts of work, which will be tackled in followup
patches.

Previously, we skipped using search_indexed_tlist_for_sortgroupref()
if the tlist expression being sought in the child plan node was merely
a Var. This is purely an optimization, based on the theory that
search_indexed_tlist_for_var() is faster, and one copy of a Var should
be as good as another. However, the GROUPING SETS patch broke the
latter assumption: grouping columns containing the "same" Var can
sometimes have different outputs, as shown in the test case added here.
So do it the hard way whenever a ressortgroupref marking exists.
(If this seems like a bottleneck, we could imagine building a tlist index
data structure for ressortgroupref values, as we do for Vars. But I'll
let that idea go until there's some evidence it's worthwhile.)
Back-patch to 9.6. The problem also exists in 9.5 where GROUPING SETS
came in, but this patch is insufficient to resolve the problem in 9.5:
there is some obscure dependency on the upper-planner-pathification
work that happened in 9.6. Given that this is such a weird corner case,
and no end users have complained about it, it doesn't seem worth the work
to develop a fix for 9.5.
Patch by me, per a report from Heikki Linnakangas. (This does not fix
Heikki's original complaint, just the follow-on one.)

There have been numerous buildfarm failures but the diagnostic is
currently silent about the reason for failure to open the file. Let's
see if we can get to the bottom of it.
Backpatch to all live branches.
Some people like to run libpq-using applications in environments where
there's no home directory. We've broken that scenario before (cf commits
5b4067798 and bd58d9d88), and commit ba005f193 broke it again, by making
it a hard error if we fail to get the home directory name while looking
for ~/.pgpass. The previous precedent is that if we can't get the home
directory name, we should just silently act as though the file we hoped
to find there doesn't exist. Rearrange the new code to honor that.
Looking around, the service-file code added by commit 41a4e4595 had the
same disease. Apparently, that escaped notice because it only runs when
a service name has been specified, which I guess the people who use this
scenario don't do. Nonetheless, it's wrong too, so fix that case as well.
Add a comment about this policy to pqGetHomeDirectory, in the probably
vain hope of forestalling the same error in future. And upgrade the
rather miserable commenting in parseServiceInfo, too.
In passing, also back off parseServiceInfo's assumption that only ENOENT
is an ignorable error from stat() when checking a service file. We would
need to ignore at least ENOTDIR as well (cf 5b4067798), and seeing that
the far-better-tested code for ~/.pgpass treats all stat() failures alike,
I think this code ought to as well.
Per bug #14872 from Dan Watson. Back-patch the .pgpass change to v10
where ba005f193 came in. The service-file bugs are far older, so
back-patch the other changes to all supported branches.

json_build_object and json_build_array and the jsonb equivalents did not
correctly process explicit VARIADIC arguments. They are modified to use
the new extract_variadic_args() utility function which abstracts away
the details of the call method.

Backpatch to 9.5 for the jsonb fixes and 9.4 for the json fixes, as
that's where they originated.
This is epecially useful in the case or "VARIADIC ANY" functions. The
caller can get the artguments and types regardless of whether or not and
explicit VARIADIC array argument has been used. The function also
provides an option to convert arguments on type "unknown" to to "text".
Michael Paquier and me, reviewed by Tom Lane.
Backpatch to 9.4 in order to support the following json bug fix.
Although joinaliasvars lists coming out of the parser are quite simple,
those lists can contain arbitrarily complex expressions after subquery
pullup. We do not perform expression preprocessing on them, meaning that
expressions in those lists will not meet the expectations of later phases
of the planner (for example, that they do not contain SubLinks). This had
been thought pretty harmless, since we don't intentionally touch those
lists in later phases --- but Andreas Seltenreich found a case in which
adjust_appendrel_attrs() could recurse into a joinaliasvars list and then
die on its assertion that it never sees a SubLink. We considered a couple
of localized fixes to prevent that specific case from looking at the
joinaliasvars lists, but really this seems like a generic hazard for all
expression processing in the planner. Therefore, probably the best answer
is to delete the joinaliasvars lists from the parsetree at the end of
expression preprocessing, so that there are no reachable expressions that
haven't been through preprocessing.
The case Andreas found seems to be harmless in non-Assert builds, and so
far there are no field reports suggesting that there are user-visible
effects in other cases. I considered back-patching this anyway, but
it turns out that Andreas' test doesn't fail at all in 9.4-9.6, because
in those versions adjust_appendrel_attrs contains code (added in commit
842faa714 and removed again in commit 215b43cdc) to process SubLinks
rather than complain about them. Barring discovery of another path by
which unprocessed joinaliasvars lists can cause trouble, the most
prudent compromise seems to be to patch this into v10 but not further.
Patch by me, with thanks to Amit Langote for initial investigation
and review.

I was a bit surprised to find that domains were almost completely
unmentioned in the main SGML documentation, outside of the reference
pages for CREATE/ALTER/DROP DOMAIN. In particular, noplace was it
mentioned that we don't support domains over composite, making it
hard to document the planned fix for that.
Hence, add a section about domains to chapter 8 (Data Types).
Also, modernize the type system overview in section 37.2; it had never
heard of range types, and insisted on calling arrays base types, which
seems a bit odd from a user's perspective; furthermore it didn't fit well
with the fact that we now support arrays over types other than base types.
It seems appropriate to use the term "container types" to describe all of
arrays, composites, and ranges, so let's do that.
Also a few other minor improvements, notably improve an example query
in rowtypes.sgml by using a LATERAL function instead of an ad-hoc
OFFSET 0 clause.
In part this is mop-up for commit c12d570fa, which missed updating 37.2
to reflect the fact that it added arrays of domains. We could possibly
back-patch this without that claim, but I don't feel a strong need to.
DST law changes in Fiji, Namibia, Northern Cyprus, Sudan, Tonga,

This is a trivial update containing only cosmetic changes. The point
is just to get back to being synced with an official release of tzcode,
rather than some ad-hoc point in their commit history, which is where
commit 47f849a3c left it.
find_expr_references() neglected to record a dependency on the result type
of a FieldSelect node, allowing a DROP TYPE to break a view or rule that
contains such an expression. I think we'd omitted this case intentionally,
reasoning that there would always be a related dependency ensuring that the
DROP would cascade to the view. But at least with nested field selection
expressions, that's not true, as shown in bug #14867 from Mansur Galiev.
Add the dependency, and for good measure a dependency on the node's exposed
collation.
Likewise add a dependency on the result type of a FieldStore. I think here
the reasoning was that it'd only appear within an assignment to a field,
and the dependency on the field's column would be enough ... but having
seen this example, I think that's wrong for nested-composites cases.
Looking at nearby code, I notice we're not recording a dependency on the
exposed collation of CoerceViaIO, which seems inconsistent with our choices
for related node types. Maybe that's OK but I'm feeling suspicious of this
code today, so let's add that; it certainly can't hurt.
This patch does not do anything to protect already-existing views, only
views created after it's installed. But seeing that the issue has been
there a very long time and nobody noticed till now, that's probably good
enough.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

It seems that the parray_gin extension has seen fit to introduce a
"text[] @> text[]" operator, which conflicts with the core
"anyarray @> anyarray" operator, causing ambiguous-operator failures
if the input arguments are coercible to text[] without being exactly
that type. This strikes me as a bad idea, but it's out there and
people use it. As of v10, that breaks psql's query that tries to
test "pg_statistic_ext.stxkind @> '{d}'", since stxkind is char[].
The best workaround seems to be to avoid use of that operator.
We can use a scalar-vs-array test "'d' = any(stxkind)" instead;
that's arguably more readable anyway.
Per report from Justin Pryzby. Backpatch to v10 where this
query was added.

IDs in SGML are case insensitive, and we have accumulated a mix of upper
and lower case IDs, including different variants of the same ID. In
XML, these will be case sensitive, so we need to fix up those
differences. Going to all lower case seems most straightforward, and
the current build process already makes all anchors and lower case
anyway during the SGML->XML conversion, so this doesn't create any
difference in the output right now. A future XML-only build process
would, however, maintain any mixed case ID spellings in the output, so
that is another reason to clean this up beforehand.

Like the similar logic for arrays and records, it's necessary to examine
the range's subtype to decide whether the range type can support hashing.
We can omit checking the subtype for btree-defined operations, though,
since range subtypes are required to have those operations. (Possibly
that simplification for btree cases led us to overlook that it does
not apply for hash cases.)
This is only an issue if the subtype lacks hash support, which is not
true of any built-in range type, but it's easy to demonstrate a problem
with a range type over, eg, money: you can get a "could not identify
a hash function" failure when the planner is misled into thinking that
hash join or aggregation would work.
This was born broken, so back-patch to all supported branches.
The previous coding would report that an array type supports extended
hashing if its element type supports regular hashing. This bug is
only latent at the moment, since AFAICS there is not yet any code
that depends on checking presence of extended-hashing support to make
any decisions. (And in any case it wouldn't matter unless the element
type has only regular hashing, which isn't true of any core data type.)
But that doesn't make it less broken. Extend the
cache_array_element_properties infrastructure to check this properly.
This is preparation for a future patch to extensively change how
reloptions work.

For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name. Add a warning option to catch future

setTargetTable threw an error if the proposed target RangeVar's relname
matched any visible CTE or ENR. This breaks backwards compatibility in
the CTE case, since pre-v10 we never looked for a CTE here at all, so that
CTE names did not mask regular tables. It does seem like a good idea to
throw an error for the ENR case, though, thus causing ENRs to mask tables
for this purpose; ENRs are new in v10 so we're not breaking existing code,
and we may someday want to allow them to be the targets of DML.
To fix that, replace use of getRTEForSpecialRelationTypes, which was
overkill anyway, with use of scanNameSpaceForENR.
A second problem was that the check neglected to verify null schemaname,
so that a CTE or ENR could incorrectly be thought to match a qualified
RangeVar. That happened because getRTEForSpecialRelationTypes relied
on its caller to have checked for null schemaname. Even though the one
remaining caller got it right, this is obviously bug-prone, so move
the check inside getRTEForSpecialRelationTypes.
Also, revert commit 18ce3a4ab's extremely poorly thought out decision to
add a NULL return case to parserOpenTable --- without either documenting
that or adjusting any of the callers to check for it. The current bug
seems to have arisen in part due to working around that bad idea.
In passing, remove the one-line shim functions transformCTEReference and
transformENRReference --- they don't seem to be adding any clarity or
functionality.
