We've broken this code path at least twice in the past, so it's prudent
to have a test case that covers it. To allow exercising the code path
without creating a very large (and slow to run) test case, redefine the
sort threshold to be bounded by maintenance_work_mem as well as the number
of available buffers. While at it, fix an ancient oversight that when
building a temp index, the number of available buffers is not NBuffers but
NLocBuffer. Also, if assertions are enabled, apply a direct test that the
sort actually does return the tuples in the expected order.

Test the external-sort code path in CLUSTER for two different scenarios:
multiple-pass external sorting, and the best case for replacement
selection, where only one run is produced, so that no merge is required.
This test would have caught the bug fixed in commit 1b0fc8507, at
least when run with valgrind enabled.
In passing, add a short-circuit test in plan_cluster_use_sort() to make
dead certain that it selects sorting when enable_indexscan is off. As
things stand, that would happen anyway, but it seems like good future

ExecInsertIndexTuples treated an exclusion constraint as subject to
noDupErr processing even when it was not listed in arbiterIndexes, and
would therefore not error out for a conflict in such a constraint, instead
returning it as an arbiter-index failure. That led to an infinite loop in
ExecInsert, since ExecCheckIndexConstraints ignored the index as-intended
and therefore didn't throw the expected error. To fix, make the exclusion
constraint code path use the same condition as the index_insert call does
to decide whether no-error-for-duplicates behavior is appropriate. While
at it, refactor a little bit to avoid unnecessary list_member_oid calls.
(That surely wouldn't save anything worth noticing, but I find the code
a bit clearer this way.)

In commit 915b703e1 I gave get_agg_clause_costs() the responsibility of
marking Aggref nodes with the appropriate aggtranstype. I failed to notice
that where it was being called from, it might see only a subset of the
Aggref nodes that were in the original targetlist. Specifically, if there
are duplicate aggregate calls in the tlist, either make_sort_input_target
or make_window_input_target might put just a single instance into the
grouping_target, and then only that instance would get marked. Fix by
moving the call back into grouping_planner(), before we start building
assorted PathTargets from the query tlist. Per report from Stefan Huehner.

In commit 68fa28f77 I tried to teach SS_finalize_plan() to cope with
initPlans attached anywhere in the plan tree, by dint of moving its
handling of those into the recursion in finalize_plan(). It turns out that
that doesn't really work: if a lower-level plan node emits an initPlan
output parameter in its targetlist, it's legitimate for upper levels to
reference those Params --- and at the point where this code runs, those
references look just like the Param itself, so finalize_plan() quite
properly rejects them as being in the wrong place. We could lobotomize
the checks enough to allow that, probably, but then it's not clear that
we'd have any meaningful check for misplaced Params at all. What seems
better, at least in the near term, is to tweak standard_planner() a bit
so that initPlans are never placed anywhere but the topmost plan node
for a query level, restoring the behavior that occurred pre-9.6. Possibly
we can do better if this code is ever merged into setrefs.c: then it would
be possible to check a Param's placement only when we'd failed to replace
it with a Var referencing a child plan node's targetlist.
BTW, I'm now suspicious that finalize_plan is doing the wrong thing by
returning the node's allParam rather than extParam to be incorporated
in the parent node's set of used parameters. However, it makes no
difference given that initPlans only appear at top level, so I'll leave
that alone for now.
Another thing that emerged from this is that standard_planner() needs
to check for initPlans before deciding that it's safe to stick a Gather
node on top in force_parallel_mode mode. We previously guarded against
that by deciding the plan wasn't wholePlanParallelSafe if any subplans
had been found, but after commit 5ce5e4a12 it's necessary to have this
substitute test, because path parallel_safe markings don't account for
initPlans. (Normally, we'd have decided the paths weren't safe anyway
due to appearances of SubPlan nodes, Params, or CTE scans somewhere in
the tree --- but it's possible for those all to be optimized away while
initPlans still remain.)

As of 9.6, pg_regress doesn't build unless storage/lwlocknames.h has been
created; but there was nothing forcing that to happen if you just went into
src/test/regress/ and built there. We previously had a similar complaint
about plpython.
To fix in a way that won't break next time we invent a generated header,
make src/backend/Makefile expose a phony target for updating all the
include files it builds, and invoke that before building pg_regress or
plpython. In principle, maybe we ought to invoke that everywhere; but
it would add a lot of usually-useless make cycles, so let's just do it

Commit 3fc6e2d7f5 introduced new "upper"
RelOptInfo structures but didn't set consider_parallel for them
correctly, a point I completely missed when reviewing it. Later,
commit e06a38965b made the situation
worse by doing it incorrectly for the grouping relation. Try to
straighten all of that out. Along the way, get rid of the annoying
wholePlanParallelSafe flag, which was only necessarily because of
the fact that upper planning stages didn't use paths at the time
that code was written.
The most important immediate impact of these changes is that
force_parallel_mode will provide useful test coverage in quite a few
more scenarios than it did previously, but it's also necessary
preparation for fixing some problems related to subqueries.
Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane.
In non-text output formats, parallelized aggregates were reporting
"Partial" or "Finalize" as a field named "Operation", which might be all
right in the absence of any context --- but other plan node types use that
field to report SQL-visible semantics, such as Select/Insert/Update/Delete.
So that naming choice didn't seem good to me. I changed it to "Partial
Mode".
Also, the field did not appear at all for a non-parallelized Agg plan node,
which is contrary to expectation in non-text formats. We're notionally
producing objects that conform to a schema, so the set of fields for a
given node type and EXPLAIN mode should be well-defined. I set it up to
fill in "Simple" in such cases.
Other fields that were added for parallel query, namely "Parallel Aware"
and Gather's "Single Copy", had not gotten the word on that point either.
Make them appear always in non-text output.
Also, the latter two fields were nominally producing boolean output, but
were getting it wrong, because bool values shouldn't be quoted in JSON or
YAML. Somehow we'd not needed an ExplainPropertyBool formatting subroutine
before 9.6; but now we do, so invent it.

If we need to use a gating Result node for pseudoconstant quals,
create_scan_plan() intentionally suppresses use_physical_tlist's checks
on whether there are matches for sortgroupref labels, on the grounds that
we don't need matches because we can label the Result's projection output
properly. However, it then called apply_pathtarget_labeling_to_tlist
anyway. This oversight was harmless when written, but in commit aeb9ae645
I made that function throw an error if there was no match. Thus, the
combination of a table scan, pseudoconstant quals, and a non-simple-Var

Previously, these commands always planned the given query and went through
executor startup before deciding not to actually run the query if WITH NO
DATA is specified. This behavior is problematic for pg_dump because it
may cause errors to be raised that we would rather not see before a
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW command is issued. See for example bug #13907
from Marian Krucina. This change is not sufficient to fix that particular
bug, because we also need to tweak pg_dump to issue the REFRESH later,
but it's a necessary step on the way.
A user-visible side effect of doing things this way is that the returned
command tag for WITH NO DATA cases will now be "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW"
or "CREATE TABLE AS", not "SELECT 0". We could preserve the old behavior
but it would take more code, and arguably that was just an implementation
artifact not intended behavior anyhow.

The original specification for this called for the deserialization function
to have signature "deserialize(serialtype) returns transtype", which is a
security violation if transtype is INTERNAL (which it always would be in
practice) and serialtype is not (which ditto). The patch blithely overrode
the opr_sanity check for that, which was sloppy-enough work in itself,
but the indisputable reason this cannot be allowed to stand is that CREATE
FUNCTION will reject such a signature and thus it'd be impossible for
extensions to create parallelizable aggregates.
The minimum fix to make the signature type-safe is to add a second, dummy
argument of type INTERNAL. But to lock it down a bit more and make misuse
of INTERNAL-accepting functions less likely, let's get rid of the ability
to specify a "serialtype" for an aggregate and just say that the only
useful serialtype is BYTEA --- which, in practice, is the only interesting
value anyway, due to the usefulness of the send/recv infrastructure for
this purpose. That means we only have to allow "serialize(internal)
returns bytea" and "deserialize(bytea, internal) returns internal" as
the signatures for these support functions.

The previous code neglected the fact that the scanjoin_target might
carry sortgroupref labelings that we need to absorb. Instead, do
create_projection_path() unconditionally, and tweak the path's cost
estimate after the fact. (I'm now convinced that we ought to refactor
the way we account for sometimes not needing a separate projection step,
but right now is not the time for that sort of cleanup.)
Problem identified by Amit Kapila, patch by me.
Commit 04ae11f62e removed some broken
code to apply the scan/join target to partial paths, but its theory
that this processing step is totally unnecessary turns out to be wrong.
Put similar code back again, but this time, check for parallel-safety
and avoid in-place modifications to paths that may already have been
used as part of some other path.
(This is not an entirely elegant solution to this problem; it might
be better, for example, to postpone generate_gather_paths for the
topmost scan/join rel until after the scan/join target has been
applied. But this is not the time for such redesign work.)

If you really want to vacuum every single page in the relation,
regardless of apparent visibility status or anything else, you can use
this option. In previous releases, this behavior could be achieved
using VACUUM (FREEZE), but because we can now recognize all-frozen
pages as not needing to be frozen again, that no longer works. There
should be no need for routine use of this option, but maybe bugs or
disaster recovery will necessitate its use.

In commit 8c1d9d56e9, I attempted to
add a regression test that would fail if the target list was pushed
into a parallel worker, but due to brain fade on my part, it just
randomly fails whether anything bad or not, because the error check
inside the parallel_restricted() function tests whether there is
*any process in the system* that is not connected to a client, not
whether the process running the query is not connected to a client.
A little experimentation has left me pessimistic about the
prospects of doing better here in a short amount of time, so let's
just fall back to checking that the plan is as we expect and leave
the execution-time check for another day.
Commit 14a254fb52 managed not to
exercise the code it was intended to test, and the comment explaining
why no "parallel worker" line showed up in the context wasn't right.

To achieve this, ANALYZE the data table before querying it, as suggested
by Tom Lane. On my system, this enables the test to pass with 128 kB of
work_mem (a value with which other tests fail -- so it seems good
enough).

Further thought about bug #14174 motivated me to try the case of a
R/W datum being returned from a VALUES list, and sure enough it was
broken. Fix that.
Also add a regression test case exercising the same scenario for
FunctionScan. That's not broken right now, because the function's
result will get shoved into a tuplestore between generation and use;
but it could easily become broken whenever we get around to optimizing
FunctionScan better.
There don't seem to be any other places where we put the result of
expression evaluation into a virtual tuple slot that could then be
the source for Vars of further expression evaluation, so I think
this is the end of this bug.
If a plan node output expression returns an "expanded" datum, and that
output column is referenced in more than one place in upper-level plan
nodes, we need to ensure that what is returned is a read-only reference
not a read/write reference. Otherwise one of the referencing sites could
scribble on or even delete the expanded datum before we have evaluated the
others. Commit 1dc5ebc907, which introduced this feature, supposed
that it'd be sufficient to make SubqueryScan nodes force their output
columns to read-only state. The folly of that was revealed by bug #14174
from Andrew Gierth, and really should have been immediately obvious
considering that the planner will happily optimize SubqueryScan nodes
out of the plan without any regard for this issue.
The safest fix seems to be to make ExecProject() force its results into
read-only state; that will cover every case where a plan node returns
expression results. Actually we can delegate this to ExecTargetList()
since we can recursively assume that plain Vars will not reference
read-write datums. That should keep the extra overhead down to something
minimal. We no longer need ExecMakeSlotContentsReadOnly(), which was
introduced only in support of the idea that just a few plan node types
would need to do this.
In the future it would be nice to have the planner account for this problem
and inject force-to-read-only expression evaluation nodes into only the
places where there's a risk of multiple evaluation. That's not a suitable
solution for 9.5 or even 9.6 at this point, though.

As part of upper planner pathification (commit 3fc6e2d7f5) I redid
createplan.c's approach to the physical-tlist optimization, in which scan
nodes are allowed to return exactly the underlying table's columns so as
to save doing a projection step at runtime. The logic was intentionally
more aggressive than before about applying the optimization, which is
generally a good thing, but Andres Freund found a case in which it got
too aggressive. Namely, if any column is referenced more than once in
the parent plan node's sorting or grouping column list, we can't optimize
because then that column would need to have more than one ressortgroupref
label, and we only have space for one.
Add logic to detect this situation in use_physical_tlist(), and also add
some error checking in apply_pathtarget_labeling_to_tlist(), which this
example proves was being overly cavalier about whether what it was doing
made any sense.
The added test case exposes the problem only because we do not eliminate
duplicate grouping keys. That might be something to fix someday, but it
doesn't seem like appropriate post-beta work.

subquery_planner() failed to apply expression preprocessing to the

to match to index expressions or index predicates that are changed at all
by preprocessing. Per bug #14132 from Reynold Smith.
Also add pullup_replace_vars processing for onConflictWhere. Perhaps
it's impossible to have a subquery reference there, but I'm not exactly

Also add some comments to other places where one or another field of
OnConflictExpr is intentionally ignored, with explanation as to why it's
okay to do so.
Also, catalog/dependency.c failed to record any dependency on the named

be dropped while rules exist that depend on it, and allowing pg_dump to
dump such a rule before the constraint it refers to. The normal execution

Commit 7d9a4737c2 greatly improved the
accuracy of the numeric transcendental functions, however it failed to
consider the case where the result from pow() is close to the overflow
threshold, for example 0.12 ^ -2345.6. For such inputs, where the
result has more than 2000 digits before the decimal point, the decimal
result weight estimate was being clamped to 2000, leading to a loss of
precision in the final calculation.
Fix this by replacing the clamping code with an overflow test that
aborts the calculation early if the final result is sure to overflow,
based on the overflow limit in exp_var(). This provides the same
protection against integer overflow in the subsequent result scale
computation as the original clamping code, but it also ensures that
precision is never lost and saves compute cycles in cases that are
sure to overflow.
The new early overflow test works with the initial low-precision
result (expected to be accurate to around 8 significant digits) and
includes a small fuzz factor to ensure that it doesn't kick in for
values that would not overflow exp_var(), so the overall overflow
threshold of pow() is unchanged and consistent for all inputs with
non-integer exponents.

Given a three-or-more-way equivalence class, such as X.Y = Y.Y = Z.Z,
it was possible for the planner to omit one of the quals needed to
enforce that all members of the equivalence class are actually equal.
This only happened in the case of a parameterized join node for two
of the relations, that is a plan tree like
Nested Loop
-> Scan X
-> Nested Loop
-> Scan Y
-> Scan Z
Filter: Z.Z = X.X
The eclass machinery normally expects to apply X.X = Y.Y when those
two relations are joined, but in this shape of plan tree they aren't
joined until the top node --- and, if the lower nested loop is marked
as parameterized by X, the top node will assume that the relevant eclass
condition(s) got pushed down into the lower node. On the other hand,
the scan of Z assumes that it's only responsible for constraining Z.Z
to match any one of the other eclass members. So one or another of
the required quals sometimes fell between the cracks, depending on
whether consideration of the eclass in get_joinrel_parampathinfo()
for the lower nested loop chanced to generate X.X = Y.Y or X.X = Z.Z
as the appropriate constraint there. If it generated the latter,
it'd erroneously suppose that the Z scan would take care of matters.
To fix, force X.X = Y.Y to be generated and applied at that join node
when this case occurs.
This is *extremely* hard to hit in practice, because various planner
behaviors conspire to mask the problem; starting with the fact that the
planner doesn't really like to generate a parameterized plan of the
above shape. (It might have been impossible to hit it before we
tweaked things to allow this plan shape for star-schema cases.) Many
thanks to Alexander Kirkouski for submitting a reproducible test case.
The bug can be demonstrated in all branches back to 9.2 where parameterized
paths were introduced, so back-patch that far.
Given a left join containing a full join in its righthand side, with
the left join's joinclause referencing only one side of the full join
(in a non-strict fashion, so that the full join doesn't get simplified),
the planner could fail with "failed to build any N-way joins" or related
errors. This happened because the full join was seen as overlapping the
left join's RHS, and then recent changes within join_is_legal() caused
that function to conclude that the full join couldn't validly be formed.
Rather than try to rejigger join_is_legal() yet more to allow this,
I think it's better to fix initsplan.c so that the required join order
is explicit in the SpecialJoinInfo data structure. The previous coding
there essentially ignored full joins, relying on the fact that we don't
flatten them in the joinlist data structure to preserve their ordering.
That's sufficient to prevent a wrong plan from being formed, but as this
example shows, it's not sufficient to ensure that the right plan will
be formed. We need to work a bit harder to ensure that the right plan
looks sane according to the SpecialJoinInfos.
Per bug #14105 from Vojtech Rylko. This was apparently induced by
commit 8703059c6 (though now that I've seen it, I wonder whether there
are related cases that could have failed before that); so back-patch
to all active branches. Unfortunately, that patch also went into 9.0,
so this bug is a regression that won't be fixed in that branch.
When we shoehorned "x op ANY (array)" into the SQL syntax, we created a
fundamental ambiguity as to the proper treatment of a sub-SELECT on the
righthand side: perhaps what's meant is to compare x against each row of
the sub-SELECT's result, or perhaps the sub-SELECT is meant as a scalar
sub-SELECT that delivers a single array value whose members should be
compared against x. The grammar resolves it as the former case whenever
the RHS is a select_with_parens, making the latter case hard to reach ---
but you can get at it, with tricks such as attaching a no-op cast to the
sub-SELECT. Parse analysis would throw away the no-op cast, leaving a
parsetree with an EXPR_SUBLINK SubLink directly under a ScalarArrayOpExpr.
ruleutils.c was not clued in on this fine point, and would naively emit
"x op ANY ((SELECT ...))", which would be parsed as the first alternative,
typically leading to errors like "operator does not exist: text = text[]"
during dump/reload of a view or rule containing such a construct. To fix,
emit a no-op cast when dumping such a parsetree. This might well be
exactly what the user wrote to get the construct accepted in the first
place; and even if she got there with some other dodge, it is a valid
representation of the parsetree.
Per report from Karl Czajkowski. He mentioned only a case involving
RLS policies, but actually the problem is very old, so back-patch to

In commit 2ffa869620 we made pg_ctl recognize an environment variable
PGCTLTIMEOUT to set the default timeout for starting and stopping the
postmaster. However, pg_regress uses pg_ctl only for the "stop" end of
that; it has bespoke code for starting the postmaster, and that code has
historically had a hard-wired 60-second timeout. Further buildfarm
experience says it'd be a good idea if that timeout were also controlled
by PGCTLTIMEOUT, so let's make it so. Like the previous patch, back-patch
to all active branches.

Print the actual value of each function result that's expected to be exact,
rather than merely emitting a NULL if it's not right. Although we print
these with extra_float_digits = 3, we should not trust that the platform
will produce a result visibly different from the expected value if it's off
only in the last place; hence, also include comparisons against the exact
values as before. This is a bit bulkier and uglier than the previous
printout, but it will provide more information and be easier to interpret
if there's a test failure.

Although OID acts pretty much like user data, the other system columns do
not, so an index on one would likely misbehave. And it's pretty hard to
see a use-case for one, anyway. Let's just forbid the case rather than
worry about whether it should be supported.

The original coding of this test used table and view names like "t",
"tv", "foo", etc. This tended to interfere with doing simple manual
tests in the regression database; not to mention that it posed a
considerable risk of conflict with other regression test scripts.
Prefix these names with "mvtest_" to avoid such conflicts.
Also, change transiently-created role name to be "regress_xxx" per
discussions about being careful with regression-test role creation.
Careless coding added by commit 07cacba983 could result in a crash
or a bizarre error message if someone tried to select an index on the
OID column as the replica identity index for a table. Back-patch to 9.4

\crosstabview interpreted its arguments in an unusual way, including
doing case-insensitive matching of unquoted column names, which is
surely not the right thing. Rip that out in favor of doing something
equivalent to the dequoting/case-folding rules used by other psql
commands. To keep it simple, change the syntax so that the optional
sort column is specified as a separate argument, instead of the
also-quite-unusual syntax that attached it to the colH argument with
a colon.
Also, rework the error messages to be closer to project style.
For a long time, opclasscmds.c explained that "we do not create a
dependency link to the AM [for an opclass or opfamily], because we don't
currently support DROP ACCESS METHOD". Commit 473b932870 invented
DROP ACCESS METHOD, but it batted only 1 for 2 on adding the dependency
links, and 0 for 2 on updating the comments about the topic.
In passing, undo the same commit's entirely inappropriate decision to
blow away an existing index as a side-effect of create_am.sql.
Everyplace else thinks it's _WIN64, so make these places fall in line.
The pg_regress.c usage is not going to result in any change in behavior,
only suppressing (or not) a compiler warning about downcasting HANDLEs.
So there seems no need for back-patching there.
The libpq/win32.mak usage might represent an actual bug, if anyone were
using this script to build for Windows64, which perhaps nobody is.
Given the lack of field complaints, no back-patch here either.

\crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a
query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed
in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself,
similar to a spreadsheet.
The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using
another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its
ordering from the order in which they appear in the query.
This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than
one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of
values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be
revisited in the future.

In cases where joins use multiple columns we currently assess each join
separately causing gross mis-estimates for join cardinality.
This patch adds use of FK information for the first time into the
planner. When FKs are present and we have multi-column join information,
plan estimates will be drastically improved. Cases with multiple FKs
are handled, though partial matches are ignored currently.
Net effect is substantial performance improvements for joins in many
common cases. Additional planning time is isolated to cases that are
currently performing poorly, measured at 0.08 - 0.15 ms.
Please watch for planner performance regressions; circumstances seem
unlikely but the law of unintended consequences may apply somewhen.
Additional complex tests welcome to prove this before release.

\gexec executes the just-entered query, like \g, but instead of printing
the results it takes each field as a SQL command to send to the server.
Computing a series of queries to be executed is a fairly common thing,
but up to now you always had to resort to kluges like writing the queries
to a file and then inputting the file. Now it can be done with no
intermediate step.
The implementation is fairly straightforward except for its interaction
with FETCH_COUNT. ExecQueryUsingCursor isn't capable of being called
recursively, and even if it were, its need to create a transaction
block interferes unpleasantly with the desired behavior of \gexec after
a failure of a generated query (i.e., that it can continue). Therefore,
disable use of ExecQueryUsingCursor when doing the master \gexec query.
We can still apply it to individual generated queries, however, and there
might be some value in doing so.
While testing this feature's interaction with single-step mode, I (tgl) was
led to conclude that SendQuery needs to recognize SIGINT (cancel_pressed)
as a negative response to the single-step prompt. Perhaps that's a
back-patchable bug fix, but for now I just included it here.

When adjusting the estimate for the number of distinct values from a
rel in a grouped query to take into account the selectivity of the
rel's restrictions, use a formula that is less likely to produce
under-estimates.
The old formula simply multiplied the number of distinct values in the
rel by the restriction selectivity, which would be correct if the
restrictions were fully correlated with the grouping expressions, but
can produce significant under-estimates in cases where they are not
well correlated.
The new formula is based on the random selection probability, and so
assumes that the restrictions are not correlated with the grouping
expressions. This is guaranteed to produce larger estimates, and of
course risks over-estimating in cases where the restrictions are
correlated, but that has less severe consequences than
under-estimating, which might lead to a HashAgg that consumes an
excessive amount of memory.
This could possibly be improved upon in the future by identifying
correlated restrictions and using a hybrid of the old and new
formulae.

Our actual convention, contrary to what I said in 59a2111b23, is not to

Per note from Tom Lane
Commit acdf2a8b added a test case involving minus zero as a box endpoint.
This is not very portable, as evidenced by the several older buildfarm
members that are failing on the test because they print minus zero as
just "0". If there were any significant reason to test this behavior,
we could consider carrying a separate expected-file; but it doesn't look
to me like there's adequate justification to accept such a maintenance
burden. Just change the test to use plain zero, instead.
Previously, the planner would reject an index-only scan if any restriction
clause for its table used a column not available from the index, even
if that restriction clause would later be dropped from the plan entirely
because it's implied by the index's predicate. This is a fairly common
situation for partial indexes because predicates using columns not included
in the index are often the most useful kind of predicate, and we have to
duplicate (or at least imply) the predicate in the WHERE clause in order
to get the index to be considered at all. So index-only scans were
essentially unavailable with such partial indexes.
To fix, we have to do detection of implied-by-predicate clauses much
earlier in the planner. This patch puts it in check_index_predicates
(nee check_partial_indexes), meaning it gets done for every partial index,
whereas we previously only considered this issue at createplan time,
so that the work was only done for an index actually selected for use.
That could result in a noticeable planning slowdown for queries against
tables with many partial indexes. However, testing suggested that there
isn't really a significant cost, especially not with reasonable numbers
of partial indexes. We do get a small additional benefit, which is that
cost_index is more accurate since it correctly discounts the evaluation
cost of clauses that will be removed. We can also avoid considering such
clauses as potential indexquals, which saves useless matching cycles in
the case where the predicate columns aren't in the index, and prevents
generating bogus plans that double-count the clause's selectivity when
the columns are in the index.

Formerly, the geometric I/O routines such as box_in and point_out relied
directly on strtod() and sprintf() for conversion of the float8 component
values of their data types. However, the behavior of those functions is
pretty platform-dependent, especially for edge-case values such as
infinities and NaNs. This was exposed by commit acdf2a8b37, which
added test cases involving boxes with infinity endpoints, and immediately
failed on Windows and AIX buildfarm members. We solved these problems
years ago in the main float8in and float8out functions, so let's fix it
by making the geometric types use that code instead of depending directly
on the platform-supplied functions.
To do this, refactor the float8in code so that it can be used to parse
just part of a string, and as a convenience make the guts of float8out
usable without going through DirectFunctionCall.
While at it, get rid of geo_ops.c's fairly shaky assumptions about the
maximum output string length for a double, by having it build results in
StringInfo buffers instead of fixed-length strings.
In passing, convert all the "invalid input syntax for type foo" messages
in this area of the code into "invalid input syntax for type %s" to reduce
the number of distinct translatable strings, per recent discussion.
We would have needed a fair number of the latter anyway for code-sharing
reasons, so we might as well just go whole hog.
Note: this patch is by no means intended to guarantee that the geometric
types uniformly behave sanely for infinity or NaN component values.
But any bugs we have in that line were there all along, they were just
harder to reach in a platform-independent way.
Patch implements quad-tree over boxes, naive approach of 2D quad tree will not
work for any non-point objects because splitting space on node is not
efficient. The idea of pathc is treating 2D boxes as 4D points, so,
object will not overlap (in 4D space).
The performance tests reveal that this technique especially beneficial
with too much overlapping objects, so called "spaghetti data".

Reporting the specific out-of-range input value produces platform-dependent

maintenance burden, and these test cases seem unlikely to be worth it.

With the original SQL-function implementation, such cases failed because
we don't support infinite intervals. Converting the function to C lets
us bypass the interval representation, which should be a bit faster as
well as more flexible.

BUG: #13964
In the plancache, we check if the environment we planned the query under
has changed in a way which requires us to re-plan, such as when the user
for whom the plan was prepared changes and RLS is being used (and,
therefore, there may be different policies to apply).
Unfortunately, while those values were set and checked, they were not
being reset when the query was re-planned and therefore, in cases where
we change role, re-plan, and then change role again, we weren't
re-planning again. This leads to potentially incorrect policies being
applied in cases where role-specific policies are used and a given query
is planned under one role and then executed under other roles, which
could happen under security definer functions or when a common user and
query is planned initially and then re-used across multiple SET ROLEs.
Further, extensions which made use of CopyCachedPlan() may suffer from
similar issues as the RLS-related fields were not properly copied as
part of the plan and therefore RevalidateCachedQuery() would copy in the
current settings without invalidating the query.
Fix by using the same approach used for 'search_path', where we set the
correct values in CompleteCachedPlan(), check them early on in
RevalidateCachedQuery() and then properly reset them if re-planning.
Also, copy through the values during CopyCachedPlan().

In commit 9118d03a8c we taught the planner to postpone evaluation of
set-returning functions in a SELECT's targetlist until after any sort done
to satisfy ORDER BY. However, if we postpone some SRFs this way while
others do not get postponed (because they're sort or group key columns)
we will break the traditional behavior by which all SRFs in the tlist run
in-step during ExecTargetList(), so that you get the least common multiple
of their periods not the product. Fix make_sort_input_target() so it will
not split up SRF evaluation in such cases.
There is still a hazard of similar odd behavior if there's a SRF in a
grouping column and another one that isn't, but that was true before
and we're just trying to preserve bug-compatibility with the traditional
behavior. This whole area is overdue to be rethought and reimplemented,

within that range using non-GMT timezone offsets (which could make the
nominal date 4714-11-23 BC or ENDYEAR-01-01 AD). This eliminates
dump/reload failure conditions for timestamps near the endpoints.
To do this, separate checking of the inputs for date2j() from the
final range check, and allow the Julian date code to handle a range
slightly wider than the nominal range of the datatypes.
Also add a bunch of checks to detect out-of-range dates and timestamps

This patch widens SPI_processed, EState's es_processed field, PortalData's
portalPos field, FuncCallContext's call_cntr and max_calls fields,
ExecutorRun's count argument, PortalRunFetch's result, and the max number
of rows in a SPITupleTable to uint64, and deals with (I hope) all the
ensuing fallout. Some of these values were declared uint32 before, and
others "long".
I also removed PortalData's posOverflow field, since that logic seems
pretty useless given that portalPos is now always 64 bits.
The user-visible results are that command tags for SELECT etc will
correctly report tuple counts larger than 4G, as will plpgsql's GET
GET DIAGNOSTICS ... ROW_COUNT command. Queries processing more tuples
than that are still not exactly the norm, but they're becoming more
common.
Most values associated with FETCH/MOVE distances, such as PortalRun's count
argument and the count argument of most SPI functions that have one, remain
declared as "long". It's not clear whether it would be worth promoting
those to int64; but it would definitely be a large dollop of additional
API churn on top of this, and it would only help 32-bit platforms which
seem relatively less likely to see any benefit.
