We were using the same memory context for the projection operation as for
the temporary context used by the hashtable routines in execGrouping.c.
However, the hashtable routines feel free to reset their temp context at

Back-patch to 8.1, where the problem was introduced by the changes that
allowed us to work with "virtual" tuples instead of materializing intermediate
tuple values everywhere. The earlier code looks quite similar, but it doesn't
suffer the problem because the data gets copied into another context as a
result of having to materialize ExecProject's output tuple.
any implicit casting previously applied to the targetlist item. This is
reasonable because the implicit cast, by definition, wasn't written by the
user; so we are preserving the expected behavior that ORDER BY items match
textually equivalent tlist items. The case never arose before because there
couldn't be any implicit casting of a top-level SELECT item before we process
ORDER BY etc. But now it can arise in the context of aggregates containing
ORDER BY clauses, since the "targetlist" is the already-casted list of
arguments for the aggregate. The net effect is that the datatype used for
ORDER BY/DISTINCT purposes is the aggregate's declared input type, not that
of the original input column; which is a bit debatable but not horrendous,
and to do otherwise would require major rework that doesn't seem justified.

Add some checks that seem logically necessary, in particular let's make
real sure that HS slave sessions cannot create temp tables. (If they did
they would think that temp tables belonging to the master's session with
the same BackendId were theirs. We *must* not allow myTempNamespace to
become set in a slave session.)
Change setval() and nextval() so that they are only allowed on temp sequences
in a read-only transaction. This seems consistent with what we allow for
table modifications in read-only transactions. Since an HS slave can't have a
temp sequence, this also provides a nicer cure for the setval PANIC reported
by Erik Rijkers.
Make the error messages more uniform, and have them mention the specific

would need to modify that value. The need for this was foreseen some time

Now we do, but the point evidently got overlooked in that patch. Net result
is that updating a field of an array element doesn't work right, as

VACUUM FULL INPLACE), along with a boatload of subsidiary code and complexity.
Per discussion, the use case for this method of vacuuming is no longer large
enough to justify maintaining it; not to mention that we don't wish to invest
the work that would be needed to make it play nicely with Hot Standby.
Aside from the code directly related to old-style VACUUM FULL, this commit
removes support for certain WAL record types that could only be generated
within VACUUM FULL, redirect-pointer removal in heap_page_prune, and
nontransactional generation of cache invalidation sinval messages (the last
being the sticking point for Hot Standby).
We still have to retain all code that copes with finding HEAP_MOVED_OFF and
HEAP_MOVED_IN flag bits on existing tuples. This can't be removed as long
as we want to support in-place update from pre-9.0 databases.
as per my recent proposal.
First, teach IndexBuildHeapScan to not wait for INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or
DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples to commit unless the index build is checking
uniqueness/exclusion constraints. If it isn't, there's no harm in just
indexing the in-doubt tuple.
Second, modify VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER to suppress reverifying
uniqueness/exclusion constraint properties while rebuilding indexes of
the target relation. This is reasonable because these commands aren't
meant to deal with corrupted-data situations. Constraint properties
will still be rechecked when an index is rebuilt by a REINDEX command.
This gets us out of the problem that new-style VACUUM FULL would often
wait for other transactions while holding exclusive lock on a system
catalog, leading to probable deadlock because those other transactions
need to look at the catalogs too. Although the real ultimate cause of
the problem is a debatable choice to release locks early after modifying
system catalogs, changing that choice would require pretty serious
analysis and is not something to be undertaken lightly or on a tight
schedule. The present patch fixes the problem in a fairly reasonable
way and should also improve the speed of VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER a little bit.
of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits:
* The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.
* We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
shared catalogs.
CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
only be visible in one database.
Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.
This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other
concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap,
parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid
such failures during the regression tests.
DROP USER at the end of the cluster.sql test could fail, if the temp
table created in the previous session hadn't finished getting dropped.
Unluckily, I didn't see this in several repetitions of the parallel
regression tests, but it's popping up on quite a few buildfarm machines.
relations (they don't live in pg_toast). This caused an Assert failure in
assert-enabled builds. So far as I can see, in a non-assert build it would
only have messed up the checks for conflicting names, so a failure would be
quite improbable but perhaps not impossible.
When a column is renamed, we recursively rename the same column in
all descendent tables. But if one of those tables also inherits that
column from a table outside the inheritance hierarchy rooted at the
named table, we must throw an error. The previous coding correctly
prohibited the rename when the parent had inherited the column from
elsewhere, but overlooked the case where the parent was OK but a child
table also inherited the same column from a second, unrelated parent.
For now, not backpatched due to lack of complaints from the field.

A necessary side-effect is to promote CONCURRENTLY to type_func_name_keyword

This is not all bad, since we have heard more than once of people typing
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY ON foo (...) and getting a normal index build of
an index named "concurrently", which was not what they wanted. Now this
syntax will result in a concurrent build of an index with system-chosen

future either, so better remove the "or zero" escape hatch and always
pass a valid catalog ID. Backpatch to 8.4.

Index expression columns are now named after the FigureColname result for
their expressions, rather than always being "pg_expression_N". Digits are
appended to this name if needed to make the column name unique within the
index. (That happens for regular columns too, thus fixing the old problem
that CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo (f1, f1) fails. Before exclusion indexes
there was no real reason to do such a thing, but now maybe there is.)
Default names for indexes and associated constraints now include the column
names of all their columns, not only the first one as in previous practice.
(Of course, this will be truncated as needed to fit in NAMEDATALEN. Also,
pkey indexes retain the historical behavior of not naming specific columns
at all.)

index columns. Per discussion.
In consequence, remove now-dead code for copying such comments in CREATE TABLE

Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record.
New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far.

The pre-8.4 code did not really need to worry about that because it could not

the list_concat_unique_ptr() calls that this change eliminates were taking

anything to fix the fundamental combinatorial explosion in large join
problems, but it should push out the threshold of pain a bit further.
Note: because this changes the order in which joinrel lists are built,
it might result in changes in selected plans in cases where different

We have used -w for a long time as a means of reducing the reported diff

like the core parser's code. In particular, track locations at the character
rather than line level during parsing, allowing many more parse-time error
conditions to be reported with precise error pointers rather than just
"near line N".
Also, exploit the fact that we no longer need to substitute $N for variable
references by making extracted SQL queries and expressions be exact copies
of subranges of the function text, rather than having random whitespace
changes within them. This makes it possible to directly map parse error
positions from the core parser onto positions in the function text, which
lets us report them without the previous kluge of showing the intermediate
internal-query form. (Later it might be good to do that for core
parse-analysis errors too, but this patch is just touching plpgsql's
lexer/parser, not what happens at runtime.)

into SQL expressions, to using the newly added parser callback hooks.
This allows us to do the substitutions in a more semantically-aware way:
a variable reference will only be recognized where it can validly go,
ie, a place where a column value or parameter would be legal, instead of
the former behavior that would replace any textual match including
table names and column aliases (leading to syntax errors later on).
A release-note-worthy fine point is that plpgsql variable names that match
fully-reserved words will now need to be quoted.
This commit preserves the former behavior that variable references take
precedence over any possible match to a column name. The infrastructure
is in place to support the reverse precedence or throwing an error on
ambiguity, but those behaviors aren't accessible yet.
Most of the code changes here are associated with making the namespace
data structure persist so that it can be consulted at runtime, instead
of throwing it away at the end of initial function parsing.
The plpgsql scanner is still doing name lookups, but that behavior is
now irrelevant for SQL expressions. A future commit will deal with

helpful.)
As proof of concept, modify plpgsql to use the hooks. plpgsql is still
inserting $n symbols textually, but the "back end" of the parsing process now
goes through the ParamRef hook instead of using a fixed parameter-type array,
and then execution only fetches actually-referenced parameters, using a hook
added to ParamListInfo.

Partially revert the previous patch I installed and replace it with a more
general fix: any time a snapshot is pushed as Active, we need to ensure that it
will not be modified in the future. This means that if the same snapshot is
used as CurrentSnapshot, it needs to be copied separately. This affects
serializable transactions only, because CurrentSnapshot has already been copied
by RegisterSnapshot and so PushActiveSnapshot does not think it needs another
copy. However, CommandCounterIncrement would modify CurrentSnapshot, whereas
ActiveSnapshots must not have their command counters incremented.
I say "partially" because the regression test I added for the previous bug
has been kept.
