Amit Langote 1edb3b491b Adjust populate_record_field() to handle errors softly
This adds a Node *escontext parameter to it and a bunch of functions
downstream to it, replacing any ereport()s in that path by either
errsave() or ereturn() as appropriate.  This also adds code to those
functions where necessary to return early upon encountering a soft
error.

The changes here are mainly intended to suppress errors in the
functions of jsonfuncs.c.  Functions in any external modules, such as
arrayfuncs.c, that those functions may in turn call are not changed
here based on the assumption that the various checks in jsonfuncs.c
functions should ensure that only values that are structurally valid
get passed to the functions in those external modules.  An exception
is made for domain_check() to allow handling domain constraint
violation errors softly.

For testing, this adds a function jsonb_populate_record_valid(),
which returns true if jsonb_populate_record() would finish without
causing an error for the provided JSON object, false otherwise.  Note
that jsonb_populate_record() internally calls populate_record(),
which in turn uses populate_record_field().

Extracted from a much larger patch to add SQL/JSON query functions.

Dean Rasheed 519fc1bd9e Support +/- infinity in the interval data type.
This adds support for infinity to the interval data type, using the
same input/output representation as the other date/time data types
that support infinity. This allows various arithmetic operations on
infinite dates, timestamps and intervals.

The new values are represented by setting all fields of the interval
to INT32/64_MIN for -infinity, and INT32/64_MAX for +infinity. This
ensures that they compare as less/greater than all other interval
values, without the need for any special-case comparison code.

Note that, since those 2 values were formerly accepted as legal finite
intervals, pg_upgrade and dump/restore from an old database will turn
them from finite to infinite intervals. That seems OK, since those
exact values should be extremely rare in practice, and they are
outside the documented range supported by the interval type, which
gives us a certain amount of leeway.

Daniel Gustafsson 526fe0d799 Add XMLText function (SQL/XML X038)
This function implements the standard XMLTest function, which
converts text into xml text nodes. It uses the libxml2 function
xmlEncodeSpecialChars to escape predefined entities (&"<>), so
that those do not cause any conflict when concatenating the text
node output with existing xml documents.

This also adds a note in  features.sgml about not supporting
XML(SEQUENCE). The SQL specification defines a RETURNING clause
to a set of XML functions, where RETURNING CONTENT or RETURNING
SEQUENCE can be defined. Since PostgreSQL doesn't support
XML(SEQUENCE) all of these functions operate with an
implicit RETURNING CONTENT.

It is best not to mention the storage order, because that is

who assumed that the storage order is the order in which the
constituent ranges were written in SQL.

Since the sorting order is explained at the beginning of the

Michael Paquier 173b56f1ef Add flush option to pg_logical_emit_message()
Since its introduction, LogLogicalMessage() (via the SQL interface
pg_logical_emit_message()) has never included a call to XLogFlush(),
causing it to potentially lose messages on a crash when used in
non-transactional mode.  This has come up to me as a problem while
playing with ideas to design a test suite for what has become
039_end_of_wal.pl introduced in bae868caf2 by Thomas Munro, because
there are no direct ways to force a WAL flush via SQL.

The default is false, to not flush messages and influence existing
use-cases where this function could be used.  If set to true, the
message emitted is flushed before returning back to the caller, making
the message durable on crash.  This new option has no effect when using
pg_logical_emit_message() in transactional mode, as the record's flush
is guaranteed by the WAL record generated by the transaction committed.

Two queries of test_decoding are tweaked to cover the new code path for
the flush.

JSON_SCALAR() produces a json value from any scalar sql value,
including json and jsonb.

JSON_SERIALIZE() produces text or bytea from input which containis

    - Return values when extracting fields with possibly fractional

Andres Freund 0fdab27ad6 Allow logical decoding on standbys
Unsurprisingly, this requires wal_level = logical to be set on the primary and
standby. The infrastructure added in 26669757b6 ensures that slots are
invalidated if the primary's wal_level is lowered.

Creating a slot on a standby waits for a xl_running_xact record to be
processed. If the primary is idle (and thus not emitting xl_running_xact
records), that can take a while.  To make that faster, this commit also
introduces the pg_log_standby_snapshot() function. By executing it on the
primary, completion of slot creation on the standby can be accelerated.

Note that logical decoding on a standby does not itself enforce that required
catalog rows are not removed. The user has to use physical replication slots +
hot_standby_feedback or other measures to prevent that. If catalog rows
required for a slot are removed, the slot is invalidated.

See 6af1793954 for an overall design of logical decoding on a standby.

Bumps catversion, for the addition of the pg_log_standby_snapshot() function.

IS JSON [VALUE]

SQL/JSON: add standard JSON constructor functions
This commit introduces the SQL/JSON standard-conforming constructors for
JSON types:

JSON_ARRAY()
JSON_ARRAYAGG()
JSON_OBJECT()
JSON_OBJECTAGG()

Most of the functionality was already present in PostgreSQL-specific
functions, but these include some new functionality such as the ability
to skip or include NULL values, and to allow duplicate keys or throw
error when they are found, as well as the standard specified syntax to
specify output type and format.

Tom Lane 7023207cfd Doc: fix examples for pg_input_error_info().
These were causing "contents ... exceed the available area"
warnings in PDF builds, and also didn't quite follow our markup
conventions for function examples.  To fix the overwidth
problem, reduce the number of fields shown in one example,
and also insert &zwsp; to let the header line be broken in
a reasonable place.

Tom Lane 75bd846b68 Add functions to do timestamptz arithmetic in a non-default timezone.
Add versions of timestamptz + interval, timestamptz - interval, and
generate_series(timestamptz, ...) in which a timezone can be specified
explicitly instead of defaulting to the TimeZone GUC setting.

The new functions for the first two are named date_add and
date_subtract.  This might seem too generic, but we could use
overloading to add additional variants if that seems useful.

Along the way, improve the docs' pretty inadequate explanation
of how timestamptz +- interval works.

Przemysław Sztoch and Gurjeet Singh; cosmetic changes and most of
the docs work by me

Dean Rasheed d5d574146d Add support for the error functions erf() and erfc().
Expose the standard error functions as SQL-callable functions. These
are expected to be useful to people working with normal distributions,
and we use them here to test the distribution from random_normal().

Since these functions are defined in the POSIX and C99 standards, they
should in theory be available on all supported platforms. If that
turns out not to be the case, more work will be needed.

On all platforms tested so far, using extra_float_digits = -1 in the
regression tests is sufficient to allow for variations between
implementations. However, past experience has shown that there are
almost certainly going to be additional unexpected portability issues,
so these tests may well need further adjustments, based on the
buildfarm results.

Michael Paquier b8da37b3ad Rework pg_input_error_message(), now renamed pg_input_error_info()
pg_input_error_info() is now a SQL function able to return a row with
more than just the error message generated for incorrect data type
inputs when these are able to handle soft failures, returning more
contents of ErrorData, as of:
- The error message (same as before).
- The error detail, if set.
- The error hint, if set.
- SQL error code.

All the regression tests that relied on pg_input_error_message() are
updated to reflect the effects of the rename.

Per discussion with Tom Lane and Andrew Dunstan.

David Rowley 16fd03e956 Allow parallel aggregate on string_agg and array_agg
This adds combine, serial and deserial functions for the array_agg() and
string_agg() aggregate functions, thus allowing these aggregates to
partake in partial aggregations.  This allows both parallel aggregation to
take place when these aggregates are present and also allows additional
partition-wise aggregation plan shapes to include plans that require
additional aggregation once the partially aggregated results from the
partitions have been combined.

Tom Lane 3ea7329c9a Simplify the implementations of the to_reg* functions.
Given the soft-input-error feature, we can reduce these functions
to be just thin wrappers around a soft-error call of the
corresponding datatype input function.  This means less code and
more certainty that the to_reg* functions match the normal input
behavior.

Notably, it also means that they will accept numeric OID input,
which they didn't before.  It's not clear to me if that omission
had more than laziness behind it, but it doesn't seem like
something we need to work hard to preserve.

Michael Paquier cca1863489 Add pg_dissect_walfile_name()
This function takes in input a WAL segment name and returns a tuple made
of the segment sequence number (dependent on the WAL segment size of the
cluster) and its timeline, as of a thin SQL wrapper around the existing
XLogFromFileName().

This function has multiple usages, like being able to compile a LSN from
a file name and an offset, or finding the timeline of a segment without
having to do to some maths based on the first eight characters of the
segment.
