This ought to work much like C's "#elif defined(name)"; but the code
implemented it in a way equivalent to endif followed by ifdef, so that
it didn't matter whether any previous branch of the IF construct had
succeeded. Fix that; add some test cases covering elif and nested IFs;
and improve the documentation, which also seemed a bit confused.
AFAICS the code has been like this since the feature was added in 1999
(commit b57b0e044). So while it's surely wrong, there might be code
out there relying on the current behavior. Hence, don't back-patch
into stable branches. It seems all right to fix it in v13 though.

The type-name pattern in \dAc and \dAf was matched only to the actual
pg_type.typname string, which is fairly user-unfriendly in cases where
that is not what's shown to the user by format_type (compare "_int4"

pattern against either typname or format_type() output. Also fix its
broken handling of schema-name restrictions. (IOW, make these
processSQLNamePattern calls match \dT's.) While here, adjust
whitespace to make the query a little prettier in -E output, too.
Also improve some inaccuracies and shaky grammar in the related

Commit eba77534 fixed an amcheck false positive bug involving
inconsistencies in TOAST input state between table and index. A test
case was added that verified that such an inconsistency didn't result in
a spurious corruption related error.
Test coverage from the test was accidentally lost by commit 501e41dd,
which propagated ALTER TABLE ... SET STORAGE attstorage state to
indexes. This broke the test because the test specifically relied on
attstorage not being propagated. This artificially forced there to be
index tuples whose datums were equivalent to the datums in the heap
without the datums actually being bitwise equal.
Fix this by updating pg_attribute directly instead. Commit 501e41dd
made similar changes to a test_decoding TOAST-related test case which
made the same assumption, but overlooked the amcheck test case.

If a base type supports typmods, its array type does too, with the

The new hlCover() algorithm that I introduced in commit c9b0c678d
turns out to potentially take O(N^2) or worse time on long documents,
if there are many occurrences of individual query words but few or no
substrings that actually satisfy the query. (One way to hit this
behavior is with a "common_word & rare_word" type of query.) This
seems unavoidable given the original goal of checking every substring
of the document, so we have to back off that idea. Fortunately, it
seems unlikely that anyone would really want headlines spanning all of
a long document, so we can avoid the worse-than-linear behavior by
imposing a maximum length of substring that we'll consider.
For now, just hard-wire that maximum length as a multiple of max_words
times max_fragments. Perhaps at some point somebody will argue for
exposing it as a ts_headline parameter, but I'm hesitant to make such
a feature addition in a back-patched bug fix.
I also noted that the hlFirstIndex() function I'd added in that
commit was unnecessarily stupid: it really only needs to check whether
a HeadlineWordEntry's item pointer is null or not. This wouldn't make
all that much difference in typical cases with queries having just
a few terms, but a cycle shaved is a cycle earned.
In addition, add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in TS_execute_recurse.
This ensures that hlCover's loop is cancellable if it manages to take
a long time, and it may protect some other TS_execute callers as well.
Back-patch to 9.6 as the previous commit was. I also chose to add the
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call to 9.5. The old hlCover() algorithm seems
to avoid the O(N^2) behavior, at least on the test case I tried, but
nonetheless it's not very quick on a long document.

Add a GUC that acts as a multiplier on work_mem. It gets applied when
sizing executor node hash tables that were previously size constrained
using work_mem alone.
The new GUC can be used to preferentially give hash-based nodes more
memory than the generic work_mem limit. It is intended to enable admin
tuning of the executor's memory usage. Overall system throughput and
system responsiveness can be improved by giving hash-based executor
nodes more memory (especially over sort-based alternatives, which are
often much less sensitive to being memory constrained).
The default value for hash_mem_multiplier is 1.0, which is also the
minimum valid value. This means that hash-based nodes continue to apply
work_mem in the traditional way by default.
hash_mem_multiplier is generally useful. However, it is being added now
due to concerns about hash aggregate performance stability for users
that upgrade to Postgres 13 (which added disk-based hash aggregation in
commit 1f39bce0). While the old hash aggregate behavior risked
out-of-memory errors, it is nevertheless likely that many users actually
benefited. Hash agg's previous indifference to work_mem during query
execution was not just faster; it also accidentally made aggregation
resilient to grouping estimate problems (at least in cases where this
didn't create destabilizing memory pressure).
hash_mem_multiplier can provide a certain kind of continuity with the
behavior of Postgres 12 hash aggregates in cases where the planner
incorrectly estimates that all groups (plus related allocations) will
fit in work_mem/hash_mem. This seems necessary because hash-based
aggregation is usually much slower when only a small fraction of all
groups can fit. Even when it isn't possible to totally avoid hash
aggregates that spill, giving hash aggregation more memory will reliably
improve performance (the same cannot be said for external sort
operations, which appear to be almost unaffected by memory availability
provided it's at least possible to get a single merge pass).
The PostgreSQL 13 release notes should advise users that increasing
hash_mem_multiplier can help with performance regressions associated
with hash aggregation. That can be taken care of by a later commit.

Use HyperLogLog to estimate the group cardinality in a spilled

we recurse.
The previous behavior was to use the number of tuples in a spilled

The planner is in fact willing to use hash aggregation when work_mem is
not set high enough for everything to fit in memory. This has been the
case since commit 1f39bce0, which added disk-based hash aggregation.
There are a few remaining cases in which hash aggregation is avoided as
a matter of policy when the planner surmises that spilling will be
necessary. For example, callers of choose_hashed_setop() still
conservatively avoid hash aggregation when spilling is anticipated.
That doesn't seem like a good enough reason to mention hash aggregation

In the case of range partitioning, get_steps_using_prefix() assumes that
the passed-in prefix list contains at least one clause for each of the
partition keys earlier than one specified in the passed-in
step_lastkeyno, but the caller (ie, gen_prune_steps_from_opexps())
didn't take it into account, which led to a server crash or incorrect

caller to call that function only when the list created there contains
at least one clause for each of the earlier partition keys in the case
of range partitioning.
While at it, fix some other issues:
* The list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix() is allowed to contain
multiple clauses for the same partition key, as described in the
comment for that function, but that function actually assumed that the
list contained just a single clause for each of middle partition keys,
which led to an assertion failure when the list contained multiple
clauses for such partition keys. Update that function to match the
comment.
* In the case of hash partitioning, partition keys are allowed to be
NULL, in which case the list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix()
contains no clauses for NULL partition keys, but that function treats
that case as like the case of range partitioning, which led to the
assertion failure. Update the assertion test to take into account
NULL partition keys in the case of hash partitioning.
* Fix a typo in a comment in get_steps_using_prefix_recurse().
* gen_partprune_steps() failed to detect self-contradiction from
strict-qual clauses and an IS NULL clause for the same partition key
in some cases, producing incorrect partition-pruning steps, which led
to incorrect results of partition pruning, but didn't cause any
user-visible problems fortunately, as the self-contradiction is

The initial implementation of leader_pid in pg_stat_activity added by
b025f32 took the approach to strictly print what a PGPROC entry
includes. In short, if a backend has been involved in parallel query at
least once, leader_pid would remain set as long as the backend is alive.
For a parallel group leader, this means that the field would always be
set after it participated at least once in parallel query, and after
more discussions this could be confusing if using for example a
connection pooler.
This commit changes the data printed so as leader_pid becomes always
NULL for a parallel group leader, showing up a non-NULL value only for
the parallel workers, and actually as long as a parallel query is
running as workers are shut down once the query has completed.

It's fairly silly that ignoring NOT subexpressions is TS_execute's
default behavior. It's wrong on its face and it encourages errors
of omission. Moreover, the only two remaining callers that aren't
specifying CALC_NOT are in ts_headline calculations, and it's very
arguable that those are bugs: if you've specified "!foo" in your
query, why would you want to get a headline that includes "foo"?
Hence, rip that out and change the default behavior to be to calculate
NOT accurately. As a concession to the slim chance that there is still
somebody somewhere who needs the incorrect behavior, provide a new
SKIP_NOT flag to explicitly request that.

Text search sometimes failed to find valid matches, for instance
'!crew:A'::tsquery might fail to locate 'crew:1B'::tsvector during
an index search. The root of the issue is that TS_execute's callback
functions were not changed to use ternary (yes/no/maybe) reporting
when we made the search logic itself do so. It's somewhat annoying
to break that API, but on the other hand we now see that any code
using plain boolean logic is almost certainly broken since the
addition of phrase search. There seem to be very few outside callers
of this code anyway, so we'll just break them intentionally to get
them to adapt.
This allows removal of tsginidx.c's private re-implementation of
TS_execute, since that's now entirely duplicative. It's also no
longer necessary to avoid use of CALC_NOT in tsgistidx.c, since
the underlying callbacks can now do something reasonable.

contrib/pgcrypto mishandled the case where deflate() does not consume
all of the offered input on the first try. It reset the next_in pointer
to the start of the input instead of leaving it alone, causing the wrong
data to be fed to the next deflate() call.
This has been broken since pgcrypto was committed. The reason for the
lack of complaints seems to be that it's fairly hard to get stock zlib
to not consume all the input, so long as the output buffer is big enough
(which it normally would be in pgcrypto's usage; AFAICT the input is
always going to be packetized into packets no larger than ZIP_OUT_BUF).
However, IBM's zlibNX implementation for AIX evidently will do it
in some cases.
I did not add a test case for this, because I couldn't find one that
would fail with stock zlib. When we put back the test case for
bug #16476, that will cover the zlibNX situation well enough.
While here, write deflate()'s second argument as Z_NO_FLUSH per its
API spec, instead of hard-wiring the value zero.

pg_dump produces custom-format archive files that lack data offsets
when it is unable to seek its output. Up to now that's been a hazard
for pg_restore. But if pg_restore is able to seek in the archive
file, there is no reason to throw up our hands when asked to restore
data blocks out of order. Instead, whenever we are searching for a
data block, record the locations of the blocks we passed over (that
is, fill in the missing data-offset fields in our in-memory copy of
the TOC data). Then, when we hit a case that requires going
backwards, we can just seek back.
Also track the furthest point that we've searched to, and seek back
to there when beginning a search for a new data block. This avoids
possible O(N^2) time consumption, by ensuring that each data block
is examined at most twice. (On Unix systems, that's at most twice
per parallel-restore job; but since Windows uses threads here, the
threads can share block location knowledge, reducing the amount of
duplicated work.)
We can also improve the code a bit by using fseeko() to skip over
data blocks during the search.
This is all of some use even in simple restores, but it's really
significant for parallel pg_restore. In that case, we require
seekability of the input already, and we will very probably need
to do out-of-order restores.
Back-patch to v12, as this fixes a regression introduced by commit
548e50976. Before that, parallel restore avoided requesting
out-of-order restores, so it would work on a data-offset-less
archive. Now it will again.

other open bugs that need to be fixed before we can extend our
coverage of parallel restore very much. Plan to revisit that later.

We do not really need to track the file position by hand. We were
already relying on ftello() whenever the archive file is seekable,
while if it's not seekable we don't need the file position info
anyway because we're not going to be able to re-write the TOC.
Moreover, that tracking was buggy since it failed to account for
the effects of fseeko(). Somewhat remarkably, that seems not to
have made for any live bugs up to now. We could fix the oversights,
but it seems better to just get rid of the whole error-prone mess.
In itself this is merely code cleanup. However, it's necessary
infrastructure for an upcoming bug-fix patch (because that code
*does* need valid file position after fseeko). The bug fix
needs to go back as far as v12; hence, back-patch that far.

There is no advantage to attempting deduplication for a unique index
during CREATE INDEX, since there cannot possibly be any duplicates.
Doing so wastes cycles due to unnecessary copying. Make sure that we
avoid it consistently.
We already avoided unique index deduplication in the case where there
were some spool2 tuples to merge. That didn't account for the fact that
spool2 is removed early/unset in the common case where it has no tuples
that need to be merged (i.e. it failed to account for the "spool2 turns
out to be unnecessary" optimization in _bt_spools_heapscan()).
Oversight in commit 0d861bbb, which added nbtree deduplication
Backpatch: 13-, where nbtree deduplication was introduced.
We had two occurrences of "Mitteleuropäische Zeit" in Europe.txt,
though the corresponding entries in Default were spelled
"Mitteleuropaeische Zeit". Standardize on the latter spelling to
avoid questions of which encoding to use.
While here, correct a couple of other trivial inconsistencies between
the Default file and the supposedly-matching entries in the *.txt
files, as exposed by some checking with comm(1). Also, add BDST to
the Europe.txt file; it previously was only listed in Default.
None of this has any direct functional effect.
Per complaint from Christoph Berg. As usual for timezone data patches,
apply to all branches.

Commit 1e53fe0e70 has unified the usage of the config-file reload flag by
using the same signal handler function for the SIGHUP signal at many places
in the code. By mistake, it used the wrong SIGNAL in apply launcher
process for the SIGHUP signal handler function.

pg_test_fsync has always opened files using the text mode on Windows, as
this is the default mode used if not enforced by _setmode().
This fixes a failure when running pg_test_fsync down to 12 because
O_DSYNC and the text mode are not able to work together nicely. We
fixed the handling of O_DSYNC in 12~ for the tool by switching to the
concurrent-safe version of fopen() in src/port/ with 0ba06e0. And
40cfe86, by enforcing the text mode for compatibility reasons if O_TEXT
or O_BINARY are not specified by the caller, broke pg_test_fsync. For
all versions, this avoids any translation overhead, and pg_test_fsync
should test binary writes, so it is a gain in all cases.
Note that O_DSYNC is still not handled correctly in ~11, leading to
pg_test_fsync to show insanely high numbers for open_datasync() (using
this property it is easy to notice that the binary mode is much
faster). This would require a backpatch of 0ba06e0 and 40cfe86, which
could potentially break existing applications, so this is left out.
There are no TAP tests for this tool yet, so I have checked all builds
manually using MSVC. We could invent a new option to run a single
transaction instead of using a duration of 1s to make the tests a
maximum short, but this is left as future work.
Thanks to Bruce Momjian for the discussion.
