Previously nested grouping set specifications accidentally weren't
flattened, but instead contained the nested specification as a element
in the outer list.
Fix this by, as actually documented in comments, concatenating the
nested set specification into the outer one. Also add tests to prevent
this from breaking again.

Backpatch: 9.5, where grouping sets were introduced
New FK relationships for pg_transform. Also findoidjoins now detects a few
relationships it didn't before for pre-existing catalogs, as a result of
new regression tests leaving entries in those catalogs that weren't there
before.
The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without
specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can
implement a TSM. (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.) Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having
a special return type. This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog
altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature.
Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments
(the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at
ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright
unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples.
Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable
within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more
honestly with methods that can't support that requirement.
Make a full code-review pass over the tablesample additions, and fix
assorted bugs, omissions, infelicities, and cosmetic issues (such as
failure to put the added code stanzas in a consistent ordering).
Improve EXPLAIN's output of tablesample plans, too.

UPDATE ... WHERE CURRENT OF would not work in conjunction with

Issue noted by Peter Geoghegan. Patch by Dean Rasheed. Back patch
to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.
The wrong is_null flag was being passed to datum_to_json. Also, null
object key values are not permitted, and this was not being checked
for. Add regression tests covering these cases, and also add those tests
to the json set, even though it was doing the right thing.
Fixes bug #13514, initially diagnosed by Tom Lane.
Handling of assigned-to expressions with indirection (e.g. set f1[1] =
3) was broken for ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE. The problem was that
ParseState was consulted to determine if an INSERT-appropriate or
UPDATE-appropriate behavior should be used when transforming expressions
with indirections. When the wrong path was taken the old row was
substituted with NULL, leading to wrong results..
To fix remove p_is_update and only use p_is_insert to decide how to
transform the assignment expression, and uset p_is_insert while parsing
the on conflict statement. This isn't particularly pretty, but it's not
any worse than before.

initdb.log and postmaster.log were moved to within the temporary instance

Fix by Michael Paquier
Backpatch to 9.5
Previously, there was an inconsistency across json/jsonb operators that
operate on datums containing JSON arrays -- only some operators
supported negative array count-from-the-end subscripting. Specifically,
only a new-to-9.5 jsonb deletion operator had support (the new "jsonb -
integer" operator). This inconsistency seemed likely to be
counter-intuitive to users. To fix, allow all places where the user can
supply an integer subscript to accept a negative subscript value,
including path-orientated operators and functions, as well as other
extraction operators. This will need to be called out as an
incompatibility in the 9.5 release notes, since it's possible that users
are relying on certain established extraction operators changed here
yielding NULL in the event of a negative subscript.
For the json type, this requires adding a way of cheaply getting the
total JSON array element count ahead of time when parsing arrays with a
negative subscript involved, necessitating an ad-hoc lex and parse.
This is followed by a "conversion" from a negative subscript to its
equivalent positive-wise value using the count. From there on, it's as
if a positive-wise value was originally provided.
Note that there is still a minor inconsistency here across jsonb
deletion operators. Unlike the aforementioned new "-" deletion operator
that accepts an integer on its right hand side, the new "#-" path
orientated deletion variant does not throw an error when it appears like
an array subscript (input that could be recognized by as an integer
literal) is being used on an object, which is wrong-headed. The reason
for not being stricter is that it could be the case that an object pair
happens to have a key value that looks like an integer; in general,
these two possibilities are impossible to differentiate with rhs path
text[] argument elements. However, we still don't allow the "#-"
path-orientated deletion operator to perform array-style subscripting.
Rather, we just return the original left operand value in the event of a
negative subscript (which seems analogous to how the established
"jsonb/json #> text[]" path-orientated operator may yield NULL in the
event of an invalid subscript).
In passing, make SetArrayPath() stricter about not accepting cases where
there is trailing non-numeric garbage bytes rather than a clean NUL
byte. This means, for example, that strings like "10e10" are now not
accepted as an array subscript of 10 by some new-to-9.5 path-orientated
jsonb operators (e.g. the new #- operator). Finally, remove dead code
for jsonb subscript deletion; arguably, this should have been done in
commit b81c7b409.

In commit 1345cc67bb, I introduced caching
of expressions representing type-cast operations into plpgsql. However,
I supposed that I could cache both the expression trees and the evaluation
state trees derived from them for the life of the session. This doesn't
work, because we execute the expressions in plpgsql's simple_eval_estate,
which has an ecxt_per_query_memory that is only transaction-lifespan.
Therefore we can end up putting pointers into the evaluation state tree
that point to transaction-lifespan memory; in particular this happens if
the cast expression calls a SQL-language function, as reported by Geoff
Winkless.
The minimum-risk fix seems to be to treat the state trees the same way
we do for "simple expression" trees in plpgsql, ie create them in the
simple_eval_estate's ecxt_per_query_memory, which means recreating them
once per transaction.
Since I had to introduce bookkeeping overhead for that anyway, I bought
back some of the added cost by sharing the read-only expression trees
across all functions in the session, instead of using a per-function
table as originally. The simple-expression bookkeeping takes care of
the recursive-usage risk that I was concerned about avoiding before.
At some point we should take a harder look at how all this works,
and see if we can't reduce the amount of tree reinitialization needed.
But that won't happen for 9.5.
Not only did this test fail to test what it was supposed to test, but it

Other options cannot be changed, as it's not totally clear if cached plans
would need to be invalidated if one of the other options change. Selectivity
estimator functions only change plan costs, not correctness of plans, so
those should be safe.

In the test query I added for ALTER TABLE retaining comments, the order of
the result rows was not stable, and varied across systems. Add an ORDER BY
to make the order predictable. This should fix the buildfarm failures.
When a column's datatype is changed, ATExecAlterColumnType() rebuilds all
the affected indexes and constraints, and the comments from the old
indexes/constraints were not carried over.
To fix, create a synthetic COMMENT ON command in the work queue, to re-add
any comments on constraints. For indexes, there's a comment field in
IndexStmt that is used.
This fixes bug #13126, reported by Kirill Simonov. Original patch by

As first committed, this view reported on the file contents as they were
at the last SIGHUP event. That's not as useful as reporting on the current
contents, and what's more, it didn't work right on Windows unless the
current session had serviced at least one SIGHUP. Therefore, arrange to
re-read the files when pg_show_all_settings() is called. This requires
only minor refactoring so that we can pass changeVal = false to
set_config_option() so that it won't actually apply any changes locally.
In addition, add error reporting so that errors that would prevent the
configuration files from being loaded, or would prevent individual settings
from being applied, are visible directly in the view. This makes the view
usable for pre-testing whether edits made in the config files will have the
desired effect, before one actually issues a SIGHUP.
I also added an "applied" column so that it's easy to identify entries that
are superseded by later entries; this was the main use-case for the original
design, but it seemed unnecessarily hard to use for that.
Also fix a 9.4.1 regression that allowed multiple entries for a
PGC_POSTMASTER variable to cause bogus complaints in the postmaster log.
(The issue here was that commit bf007a27ac unintentionally reverted
3e3f65973a, which suppressed any duplicate entries within
ParseConfigFp. However, since the original coding of the pg_file_settings
view depended on such suppression *not* happening, we couldn't have fixed
this issue now without first doing something with pg_file_settings.
Now we suppress duplicates by marking them "ignored" within
ProcessConfigFileInternal, which doesn't hide them in the view.)
Lesser changes include:
Drive the view directly off the ConfigVariable list, instead of making a
basically-equivalent second copy of the data. There's no longer any need
to hang onto the data permanently, anyway.
Convert show_all_file_settings() to do its work in one call and return a
tuplestore; this avoids risks associated with assuming that the GUC state
will hold still over the course of query execution. (I think there were
probably latent bugs here, though you might need something like a cursor
on the view to expose them.)
Arrange to run SIGHUP processing in a short-lived memory context, to
forestall process-lifespan memory leaks. (There is one known leak in this
code, in ProcessConfigDirectory; it seems minor enough to not be worth
back-patching a specific fix for.)
Remove mistaken assignment to ConfigFileLineno that caused line counting
after an include_dir directive to be completely wrong.
Add missed failure check in AlterSystemSetConfigFile(). We don't really
expect ParseConfigFp() to fail, but that's not an excuse for not checking.
In commit 9e3ad1aac5 I modified plpgsql
to use exec_stmt_return's simple-variables fast path in more cases.
However, I overlooked that there are really two different return
conventions in use here, depending on whether estate->retistuple is true,
and the existing fast-path code had only bothered to handle one of them.
So trying to return a scalar in a function returning composite, or vice
versa, could lead to unexpected error messages (typically "cache lookup
failed for type 0") or to a null-pointer-dereference crash.
In the DTYPE_VAR case, we can just throw error if retistuple is true,
corresponding to what happens in the general-expression code path that was
being used previously. (Perhaps someday both of these code paths should
attempt a coercion, but today is not that day.)
In the REC and ROW cases, just hand the problem to exec_eval_datum()
when not retistuple. Also clean up the ROW coding slightly so it looks
more like exec_eval_datum().
The previous commit also caused exec_stmt_return_next() to be used in
more cases, but that code seems to be OK as-is.

Following recent discussion on -hackers. The underlying function is
also renamed to jsonb_delete_path. The regression tests now don't need
ugly type casts to avoid the ambiguity, so they are also removed.
Catalog version bumped.
Supporting deletion of JSON pairs within jsonb objects using an
array-style integer subscript allowed for surprising outcomes. This was
mostly due to the implementation-defined ordering of pairs within
objects for jsonb.
It also seems desirable to make jsonb integer subscript deletion
consistent with the 9.4 era general purpose integer subscripting
operator for jsonb (although that operator returns NULL when an object
is encountered, while we prefer here to throw an error).
Peter Geoghegan, following discussion on -hackers.
Not sure how "//XXX" got into a committed patch in the first place,
as it's both content-free and against project style. pgindent made a
bit of a hash of it, too.
Going forward, we should have at least one buildfarm member using
"gcc -ansi" to catch such things, at least till such time as we
decide the project target language isn't C90 any more. I've turned
this option on on dromedary.
This reverts commit 5cdf25e168,
which was almost immediately proven insufficient by the buildfarm.
On second thought, the tables involved are not large enough that
autovacuum or autoanalyze would notice them; what seems far more
likely to be the culprit is the database-wide "vacuum analyze"
in the concurrent gist test. That thing has given us one headache
too many, so get rid of it in favor of targeted vacuuming of that
test's own tables only.
Verify that the number of matches is exactly what it should be, not just
that it not be zero. This should help us detect any environment-dependent
issues.
Also, verify that we're getting the expected type of scan plan (either
bitmap or seqscan as appropriate). Right now, this is failing on the
cidrcol test cases, as shown in the output file. I'll look into that
in a bit, but it seems good to commit this as-is temporarily to verify
that it behaves as expected on the buildfarm.
Casting to char, without quotes, does not give the same results as casting
to "char". That meant we were not testing the brin "char" paths at all,
since we ended up with a text operator not a "char" operator.
This test used seqscans on tenk1, with LIMIT, to build test data.
That works most of the time, but if the synchronized-seqscan logic
kicks in, we get varying test data. This seems likely to explain
the erratic test failures on buildfarm member chipmunk, which uses
smaller-than-default shared_buffers. To fix, add ORDER BY clauses to
force the ordering to be what it was implicitly being assumed to be.
Peter Geoghegan had noticed this with respect to one of the trouble
spots, though not the ones actually causing the chipmunk issue.
Some recent buildfarm failures can be explained by supposing that
autovacuum or autoanalyze fired on the tables created by this test,
resulting in plan changes. Do a proactive VACUUM ANALYZE on the
test's principal tables to try to forestall such changes.
add_path_precheck was doing exact comparisons of path costs, but it really
needs to do them fuzzily to be sure it won't reject paths that could
survive add_path's comparisons. (This can only matter if the initial cost
estimate is very close to the final one, but that turns out to often be
true.)
Also, it should ignore startup cost for this purpose if and only if
compare_path_costs_fuzzily would do so. The previous coding always ignored
startup cost for parameterized paths, which is wrong as of commit
3f59be836c555fa6; it could result in improper early rejection of paths that
we care about for SEMI/ANTI joins. It also always considered startup cost
for unparameterized paths, which is just as wrong though the only effect is
to waste planner cycles on paths that can't survive. Instead, it should
consider startup cost only when directed to by the consider_startup/
consider_param_startup relation flags.
Likewise, compare_path_costs_fuzzily should have symmetrical behavior
for parameterized and unparameterized paths. In this case, the best
answer seems to be that after establishing that total costs are fuzzily
equal, we should compare startup costs whether or not the consider_xxx
flags are on. That is what it's always done for unparameterized paths,
so let's make the behavior for parameterized paths match.
These issues were noted while developing the SEMI/ANTI join costing fix
of commit 3f59be836c, but we chose not to back-patch these fixes,
because they can cause changes in the planner's choices among
nearly-same-cost plans. (There is in fact one minor change in plan choice
within the core regression tests.) Destabilizing plan choices in back
branches without very clear improvements is frowned on, so we'll just fix
this in HEAD.
The function is given a fourth parameter, which defaults to true. When
this parameter is true, if the last element of the path is missing
in the original json, jsonb_set creates it in the result and assigns it
the new value. If it is false then the function does nothing unless all
elements of the path are present, including the last.
Based on some original code from Dmitry Dolgov, heavily modified by me.
Catalog version bumped.
opr_sanity.sql has a test checking that relevant properties of built-in
functions match when the same C function is referenced by multiple pg_proc
entries. The test neglected to check proleakproof, though, and when
I added that condition it exposed that xideqint4 hadn't been updated to
match xideq. So fix that as well, and in consequence bump catversion.
This isn't very critical, so no need to worry about fixing back branches.
brin.sql included a call of brin_summarize_new_values(), and expected
it to always report exactly 5 summarization events. This failed sometimes
during parallel regression tests, as a consequence of the database-wide
VACUUM in gist.sql getting there first. The most future-proof way
to avoid variation in the test results is to forget about using
brin_summarize_new_values() and just do a plain "VACUUM brintest",
which will exercise the same code anyway.
Having done that, there's no need for preventing autovacuum on brintest;
doing so just reduces the scope of test coverage, so let's not.
Paul Ramsey reported that commit 35fcb1b3d0
induced a core dump on commuted ORDER BY expressions, because it was
assuming that the indexorderby expression could be found verbatim in the
relevant equivalence class, but it wasn't there. We really don't need
anything that complicated anyway; for the data types likely to be used for
index ORDER BY operators in the foreseeable future, the exprType() of the
ORDER BY expression will serve fine. (The case where we'd have to work
harder is where the ORDER BY expression's result is only binary-compatible
with the declared input type of the ordering operator; long before worrying
about that, one would need to get rid of GiST's hard-wired assumption that
said datatype is float8.)
Aside from fixing that crash and adding a regression test for the case,
I did some desultory code review:
nodeIndexscan.c was likewise overthinking how hard it ought to work to
identify the datatype of the ORDER BY expressions.
Add comments explaining how come nodeIndexscan.c can get away with
simplifying assumptions about NULLS LAST ordering and no backward scan.
Revert no-longer-needed changes of find_ec_member_for_tle(); while the

No index in template0 should have collation-dependent ordering, especially
not indexes on shared catalogs. For most textual columns we avoid this
issue by using type "name" (which sorts per strcmp()). However there are a
few indexed columns that we'd prefer to use "text" for, and for that, the
default opclass text_ops is unsafe. Fortunately, text_pattern_ops is safe
(it sorts per memcmp()), and it has no real functional disadvantage for our
purposes. So change the indexes on pg_seclabel.provider and
pg_shseclabel.provider to use text_pattern_ops.
In passing, also mark pg_replication_origin.roname as using
text_pattern_ops --- for some reason it was labeled varchar_pattern_ops
which is just wrong, even though it accidentally worked.
Add regression test queries to catch future errors of these kinds.
We still can't do anything about the misdeclared pg_seclabel and
pg_shseclabel indexes in back branches :-(
The previous coding was a leftover from attempting to hang all the on

This SQL standard functionality allows to aggregate data by different
GROUP BY clauses at once. Each grouping set returns rows with columns
grouped by in other sets set to NULL.
This could previously be achieved by doing each grouping as a separate
query, conjoined by UNION ALLs. Besides being considerably more concise,
grouping sets will in many cases be faster, requiring only one scan over
the underlying data.
The current implementation of grouping sets only supports using sorting
for input. Individual sets that share a sort order are computed in one
pass. If there are sets that don't share a sort order, additional sort &
aggregation steps are performed. These additional passes are sourced by
the previous sort step; thus avoiding repeated scans of the source data.
The code is structured in a way that adding support for purely using
hash aggregation or a mix of hashing and sorting is possible. Sorting
was chosen to be supported first, as it is the most generic method of
implementation.
Instead of, as in an earlier versions of the patch, representing the
chain of sort and aggregation steps as full blown planner and executor
nodes, all but the first sort are performed inside the aggregation node
itself. This avoids the need to do some unusual gymnastics to handle
having to return aggregated and non-aggregated tuples from underlying
nodes, as well as having to shut down underlying nodes early to limit
memory usage. The optimizer still builds Sort/Agg node to describe each
phase, but they're not part of the plan tree, but instead additional
data for the aggregation node. They're a convenient and preexisting way
to describe aggregation and sorting. The first (and possibly only) sort
step is still performed as a separate execution step. That retains
similarity with existing group by plans, makes rescans fairly simple,
avoids very deep plans (leading to slow explains) and easily allows to
avoid the sorting step if the underlying data is sorted by other means.
A somewhat ugly side of this patch is having to deal with a grammar
ambiguity between the new CUBE keyword and the cube extension/functions
named cube (and rollup). To avoid breaking existing deployments of the
cube extension it has not been renamed, neither has cube been made a
reserved keyword. Instead precedence hacking is used to make GROUP BY
cube(..) refer to the CUBE grouping sets feature, and not the function
cube(). To actually group by a function cube(), unlikely as that might
be, the function name has to be quoted.
Needs a catversion bump because stored rules may change.

The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to

ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a
inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or
by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the
constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE
SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to
both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the
optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being
executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple
proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the
pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias.
This feature is often referred to as upsert.
This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative
insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first
does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a
violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted
tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a
matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken.
If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is
deemed inserted.
To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table
named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT
INTO now can alias its target table.

The minmax opclass was using the wrong support functions when
cross-datatypes queries were run. Instead of trying to fix the
pg_amproc definitions (which apparently is not possible), use the
already correct pg_amop entries instead. This requires jumping through
more hoops (read: extra syscache lookups) to obtain the underlying
functions to execute, but it is necessary for correctness.

Also change BrinOpcInfo to record each stored type's typecache entry
instead of just the OID. Turns out that the full type cache is
necessary in brin_deform_tuple: the original code used the indexed
type's byval and typlen properties to extract the stored tuple, which is
correct in Minmax; but in other implementations that want to store
something different, that's wrong. The realization that this is a bug
comes from Emre also, but I did not use his patch.
I also adopted Emre's regression test code (with smallish changes),

His patch submission also included changes to GRANT/REVOKE, but those
seemed more controversial, so I left them out. We can reconsider these
changes later.
When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two
related problems exist:
* How to safely keep track of replication progress
* How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row;
e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups
The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of
three parts:
1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup.
2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each
replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and
crash safe manner.
3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a
replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex
replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out.
Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting
additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much
less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various
replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The
infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable.
This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit
timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities,
except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate
with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via
SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced
in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem.
For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be
tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots
GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there
doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one.

The original security barrier view implementation, on which RLS is
built, prevented all non-leakproof functions from being pushed down to
below the view, even when the function was not receiving any data from
the view. This optimization improves on that situation by, instead of
checking strictly for non-leakproof functions, it checks for Vars being
passed to non-leakproof functions and allows functions which do not
accept arguments or whose arguments are not from the current query level
(eg: constants can be particularly useful) to be pushed down.
As discussed, this does mean that a function which is pushed down might
gain some idea that there are rows meeting a certain criteria based on
the number of times the function is called, but this isn't a
particularly new issue and the documentation in rules.sgml already
addressed similar covert-channel risks. That documentation is updated
to reflect that non-leakproof functions may be pushed down now, if
they meet the above-described criteria.

An outer join appearing within the RHS of an antijoin can't commute with
the antijoin, but somehow I missed teaching make_outerjoininfo() about
that. In Teodor Sigaev's recent trouble report, this manifests as a
"could not find RelOptInfo for given relids" error within eqjoinsel();
but I think silently wrong query results are possible too, if the planner
misorders the joins and doesn't happen to trigger any internal consistency
checks. It's broken as far back as we had antijoins, so back-patch to all
supported branches.
The RLS capability is built on top of the WITH CHECK OPTION
system which was added for auto-updatable views, however, unlike
WCOs on views (which are mandated by the SQL spec to not fire until
after all other constraints and checks are done), it makes much more
sense for RLS checks to happen earlier than constraint and uniqueness
checks.
This patch reworks the structure which holds the WCOs a bit to be
explicitly either VIEW or RLS checks and the RLS-related checks are
done prior to the constraint and uniqueness checks. This also allows
better error reporting as we are now reporting when a violation is due
to a WITH CHECK OPTION and when it's due to an RLS policy violation,
which was independently noted by Craig Ringer as being confusing.
The documentation is also updated to include a paragraph about when RLS
WITH CHECK handling is performed, as there have been a number of
questions regarding that and the documentation was previously silent on
the matter.

Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.
The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.

Commit a2e35b53c3 neglected to update the type OID to use further

ObjectAddress instead of OID (it got it right in DefineRange, however.)
This resulted in an internal error message being issued when looking up
I/O functions.
Author: Michael Paquier
Also add Asserts() to a couple of other places to ensure that the type
OID being used is as expected.
In prepend_row_security_policies(), defaultDeny was always true, so if
there were any hook policies, the RLS policies on the table would just
get discarded. Fixed to start off with defaultDeny as false and then
properly set later if we detect that only the default deny policy exists
for the internal policies.
The infinite recursion detection in fireRIRrules() didn't properly
manage the activeRIRs list in the case of WCOs, so it would incorrectly
report infinite recusion if the same relation with RLS appeared more
than once in the rtable, for example "UPDATE t ... FROM t ...".
Further, the RLS expansion code in fireRIRrules() was handling RLS in
the main loop through the rtable, which lead to RTEs being visited twice
if they contained sublink subqueries, which
prepend_row_security_policies() attempted to handle by exiting early if
the RTE already had securityQuals. That doesn't work, however, since
if the query involved a security barrier view on top of a table with
RLS, the RTE would already have securityQuals (from the view) by the
time fireRIRrules() was invoked, and so the table's RLS policies would
be ignored. This is fixed in fireRIRrules() by handling RLS in a
separate loop at the end, after dealing with any other sublink
subqueries, thus ensuring that each RTE is only visited once for RLS
expansion.
The inheritance planner code didn't correctly handle non-target
relations with RLS, which would get turned into subqueries during
planning. Thus an update of the form "UPDATE t1 ... FROM t2 ..." where
t1 has inheritance and t2 has RLS quals would fail. Fix by making sure
to copy in and update the securityQuals when they exist for non-target
relations.
process_policies() was adding WCOs to non-target relations, which is
unnecessary, and could lead to a lot of wasted time in the rewriter and
the planner. Fix by only adding WCO policies when working on the result
relation. Also in process_policies, we should be copying the USING
policies to the WITH CHECK policies on a per-policy basis, fix by moving
the copying up into the per-policy loop.
Lastly, as noted by Dean, we were simply adding policies returned by the
hook provided to the list of quals being AND'd, meaning that they would
actually restrict records returned and there was no option to have
internal policies and hook-based policies work together permissively (as
all internal policies currently work). Instead, explicitly add support
for both permissive and restrictive policies by having a hook for each
and combining the results appropriately. To ensure this is all done
correctly, add a new test module (test_rls_hooks) to test the various
combinations of internal, permissive, and restrictive hook policies.

Previously we would re-use input subexpressions in all expression trees
attached to a Join plan node. However, if it's an outer join and the
subexpression appears in the nullable-side input, this is potentially
incorrect for apparently-matching subexpressions that came from above
the outer join (ie, targetlist and qpqual expressions), because the
executor will treat the subexpression value as NULL when maybe it should
not be.
The case is fairly hard to hit because (a) you need a non-strict
subexpression (else NULL is correct), and (b) we don't usually compute
expressions in the outputs of non-toplevel plan nodes. But we might do
so if the expressions are sort keys for a mergejoin, for example.
Probably in the long run we should make a more explicit distinction between
Vars appearing above and below an outer join, but that will be a major
planner redesign and not at all back-patchable. For the moment, just hack
set_join_references so that it will not match any non-Var expressions
coming from nullable inputs to expressions that came from above the join.
(This is somewhat overkill, in that a strict expression could still be
matched, but it doesn't seem worth the effort to check that.)

Having the functions return subscripts better matches existing practice,

Bug reported by Thom Brown, analysis and patch by Michael Paquier; test
case provided by Fabrízio de Royes Mello.
The previous coding in get_const_expr() tried to avoid quoting integer,
float, and numeric literals if at all possible. While that looks nice,
it means that dumped expressions might re-parse to something that's
semantically equivalent but not the exact same parsetree; for example
a FLOAT8 constant would re-parse as a NUMERIC constant with a cast to
FLOAT8. Though the result would be the same after constant-folding,
this is problematic in certain contexts. In particular, Jeff Davis
pointed out that this could cause unexpected failures in ALTER INHERIT
operations because of child tables having not-exactly-equivalent CHECK
expressions. Therefore, favor correctness over legibility and dump
such constants in quotes except in the limited cases where they'll
be interpreted as the same type even without any casting.
This results in assorted small changes in the regression test outputs,
and will affect display of user-defined views and rules similarly.
The odds of that causing problems in the field seem non-negligible;
given the lack of previous complaints, it seems best not to change
this in the back branches.
If set, the pager will not be used unless this many lines are to be

There is probably more work to be done in giving the user control over

pager regardless of how many lines there are, but this is a start.
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5 by
making two simple changes:
* pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn().
Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces
pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them.
* attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not
definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts,
which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent
but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a
noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if
we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc
compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns.
I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of
declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete
anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
This adds a new GiST opclass method, 'fetch', which is used to reconstruct
the original Datum from the value stored in the index. Also, the 'canreturn'
index AM interface function gains a new 'attno' argument. That makes it
possible to use index-only scans on a multi-column index where some of the
opclasses support index-only scans but some do not.
This patch adds support in the box and point opclasses. Other opclasses
can added later as follow-on patches (btree_gist would be particularly
interesting).

The POSIX spec says that rint() rounds halfway cases to nearest even.
Our substitute implementation failed to do that, rather rounding halfway
cases away from zero; and it also got some other cases (such as minus
zero) wrong. This led to observable cross-platform differences, as
reported in bug #12885 from Rich Schaaf; in particular, casting from
float to int didn't honor round-to-nearest-even on builds using rint.c.
Implement something that attempts to cover all cases per spec, and add
some simple regression tests so that we'll notice if any platforms still
get this wrong.
Although this is a bug fix, no back-patch, as a behavioral change in
the back branches was agreed not to be a good idea.

Previously, CHECK constraints of the same scope were checked in whatever
order they happened to be read from pg_constraint. (Usually, but not
reliably, this would be creation order for domain constraints and reverse
creation order for table constraints, because of differing implementation
details.) Nondeterministic results of this sort are problematic at least
for testing purposes, and in discussion it was agreed to be a violation of
the principle of least astonishment. Therefore, borrow the principle
already established for triggers, and apply such checks in name order
(using strcmp() sort rules). This lets users control the check order
if they have a mind to.
Domain CHECK constraints still follow the rule of checking lower nested
domains' constraints first; the name sort only applies to multiple
constraints attached to the same domain.
In passing, I failed to resist the temptation to wordsmith a bit in
create_domain.sgml.

Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the
system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of
course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks.
As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK
constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to
accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to
disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special
cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK
constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't
mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have
use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops
for most.
An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node
has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified
in EXPLAIN output, for example:
Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46)
Update on pt1
Foreign Update on ft1
Foreign Update on ft2
Update on child3
-> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46)
This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL"
fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables
are involved.

In the spirit of 890192e99a and 4464303405f: have get_object_address
understand individual pg_amop and pg_amproc objects. There is no way to
refer to such objects directly in the grammar -- rather, they are almost
always considered an integral part of the opfamily that contains them.
(The only case that deals with them individually is ALTER OPERATOR
FAMILY ADD/DROP, which carries the opfamily address separately and thus
does not need it to be part of each added/dropped element's address.)
In event triggers it becomes possible to become involved with individual
amop/amproc elements, and this commit enables pg_get_object_address to
do so as well.
To make the overall coding simpler, this commit also slightly changes
the get_object_address representation for opclasses and opfamilies:
instead of having the AM name in the objargs array, I moved it as the
first element of the objnames array. This enables the new code to use
objargs for the type names used by pg_amop and pg_amproc.

We can't handle this in the general case due to limitations of the
planner's data representations; but we can allow it in many useful cases,
by being careful to flatten only when we are pulling a single-row subquery
up into a FROM (or, equivalently, inner JOIN) node that will still have at
least one remaining relation child. Per discussion of an example from
Kyotaro Horiguchi.
While poking at David Kubečka's issue I noticed an ancient logic error
in get_loop_count(): it used 1.0 as a "no data yet" indicator, but since
that is actually a valid rowcount estimate, this doesn't work. If we
have one input relation with 1.0 as rowcount and then another one with
a larger rowcount, we should use 1.0 as the result, but we picked the
larger rowcount instead. (I think when I coded this, I recognized the
conflict, but mistakenly thought that the logic would pick the desired
count anyway.)
Fixing this changed the plan for one existing regression test case.
Since the point of that test is to exercise creation of a particular
shape of nestloop plan, I tweaked the query a little bit so it still
results in the same plan choice.
This is definitely a bug, but I'm hesitant to back-patch since it might
change plan choices unexpectedly, and anyway failure to implement a
heuristic precisely as intended is a pretty low-grade bug.
In the spirit of 890192e99a, this time add support for the things
living in the pg_default_acl catalog. These are not really "objects",
but they show up as such in event triggers.
There is no "DROP DEFAULT PRIVILEGES" or similar command, so it doesn't
look like the new representation given would be useful anywhere else, so
I didn't try to use it outside objectaddress.c. (That might be a bug in
itself, but that would be material for another commit.)

now, too.
I toyed with the idea of removing DropUserMappingStmt as a node and
using DropStmt instead in the DropUserMappingStmt grammar production,
but that didn't go very well: for one thing the messages thrown by the
specific code are specialized (you get "server not found" if you specify
the wrong server, instead of a generic "user mapping for ... not found"
which you'd get it we were to merge this with RemoveObjects --- unless
we added even more special cases). For another thing, it would require
to pass RoleSpec nodes through the objname/objargs representation used
by RemoveObjects, which works in isolation, but gets messy when
pg_get_object_address is involved. So I dropped this part for now.

If there are one or two such matches that are good enough to think

Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but
gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers;
which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just
generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h.
Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf,
pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that
understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed,
but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality.
This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on
__attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into
warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many
occurances of that and it's hard to work around...

The incomplete description string was introduced together with the whole
SQL/MED infrastructure by commit cae565e503 of 8.4 era, so backpatch all
the way back.
Previously, we cached domain constraints for the life of a query, or
really for the life of the FmgrInfo struct that was used to invoke
domain_in() or domain_check(). But plpgsql (and probably other places)
are set up to cache such FmgrInfos for the whole lifespan of a session,
which meant they could be enforcing really stale sets of constraints.
On the other hand, searching pg_constraint once per query gets kind of
expensive too: testing says that as much as half the runtime of a
trivial query such as "SELECT 0::domaintype" went into that.
To fix this, delegate the responsibility for tracking a domain's
constraints to the typcache, which has the infrastructure needed to
detect syscache invalidation events that signal possible changes.
This not only removes unnecessary repeat reads of pg_constraint,
but ensures that we never apply stale constraint data: whatever we
use is the current data according to syscache rules.
Unfortunately, the current configuration of the system catalogs means
we have to flush cached domain-constraint data whenever either pg_type
or pg_constraint changes, which happens rather a lot (eg, creation or
deletion of a temp table will do it). It might be worth rearranging
things to split pg_constraint into two catalogs, of which the domain
constraint one would probably be very low-traffic. That's a job for
another patch though, and in any case this patch should improve matters
materially even with that handicap.
This patch makes use of the recently-added memory context reset callback
feature to manage the lifespan of domain constraint caches, so that we
don't risk deleting a cache that might be in the midst of evaluation.
Although this is a bug fix as well as a performance improvement, no
back-patch. There haven't been many if any field complaints about
stale domain constraint checks, so it doesn't seem worth taking the
risk of modifying data structures as basic as MemoryContexts in back
branches.
Part of the intent of the parameterized-path mechanism was to handle
star-schema queries efficiently, but some overly-restrictive search
limiting logic added in commit e2fa76d80b
prevented such cases from working as desired. Fix that and add a
regression test about it. Per gripe from Marc Cousin.
This is arguably a bug rather than a new feature, so back-patch to 9.2
where parameterized paths were introduced.
When a composite type being used in a typed table is modified by way

The existing event_trigger.c code was unable to cope with that

Thanks to Mark Wong for documentation wording help.
Commit ab14a73a6c raised an error in these cases and later the
behaviour was copied to jsonb. This is what the XML code, which we
then adopted, does, as the XSD types don't accept infinite values.
However, json dates and timestamps are just strings as far as json is
concerned, so there is no reason not to render these values as
'infinity'.
The json portion of this is backpatched to 9.4 where the behaviour was
introduced. The jsonb portion only affects the development branch.

"RETURN SQLERRM" prompted plpgsql_exec_function() to read from freed

In expand_security_qual(), we were handling locking correctly when a
PlanRowMark existed, but not when we were working with the target

Noted by Etsuro Fujita when working with the Postgres FDW, which wasn't
properly issuing a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE to the remote side under a
DELETE.
Back-patch to 9.4 where updatable security barrier views were

The "simple" path for printing VALUES clauses doesn't work if we need
to attach nondefault column aliases, because there's noplace to do that
in the minimal VALUES() syntax. So modify get_simple_values_rte() to
detect nondefault aliases and treat that as a non-simple case. This
further exposes that the "non-simple" path never actually worked;
it didn't produce valid syntax. Fix that too. Per bug #12789 from
Curtis McEnroe, and analysis by Andrew Gierth.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Before 9.3, this also requires
back-patching the part of commit 092d7ded29
that created get_simple_values_rte() to begin with; inserting the extra
test into the old factorization of that logic would've been too messy.
There are a couple of places in our grammar that fail to be strict LALR(1),
by requiring more than a single token of lookahead to decide what to do.
Up to now we've dealt with that by using a filter between the lexer and
parser that merges adjacent tokens into one in the places where two tokens
of lookahead are necessary. But that creates a number of user-visible
anomalies, for instance that you can't name a CTE "ordinality" because
"WITH ordinality AS ..." triggers folding of WITH and ORDINALITY into one
token. I realized that there's a better way.
In this patch, we still do the lookahead basically as before, but we never
merge the second token into the first; we replace just the first token by
a special lookahead symbol when one of the lookahead pairs is seen.
This requires a couple extra productions in the grammar, but it involves
fewer special tokens, so that the grammar tables come out a bit smaller
than before. The filter logic is no slower than before, perhaps a bit
faster.
I also fixed the filter logic so that when backing up after a lookahead,
the current token's terminator is correctly restored; this eliminates some
weird behavior in error message issuance, as is shown by the one change in
existing regression test outputs.
I believe that this patch entirely eliminates odd behaviors caused by
lookahead for WITH. It doesn't really improve the situation for NULLS
followed by FIRST/LAST unfortunately: those sequences still act like a
reserved word, even though there are cases where they should be seen as two
ordinary identifiers, eg "SELECT nulls first FROM ...". I experimented
with additional grammar hacks but couldn't find any simple solution for
that. Still, this is better than before, and it seems much more likely
that we *could* somehow solve the NULLS case on the basis of this filter
behavior than the previous one.
This works by keeping a per-subtransaction record of the ins/upd/del
counters before the truncate, and then resetting them; this record is
useful to return to the previous state in case the truncate is rolled
back, either in a subtransaction or whole transaction. The state is
propagated upwards as subtransactions commit.
When the per-table data is sent to the stats collector, a flag indicates
to reset the live/dead counters to zero as well.
Catalog version bumped due to the change in pgstat format.

Matt Kelly, reviewed by Jim Nasby
There wasn't any good reason for a single C function to implement both
these SQL functions: it saved very little code overall, and it required
significant pushups to re-determine at runtime which case applied. Redoing
it as two functions ends up with just slightly more lines of code, but it's
simpler to understand, and faster too because we need not repeat syscache
lookups on every call.
An important side benefit is that this eliminates the only case in which
different aliases of the same C function had both anyarray and anyelement
arguments at the same position, which would almost always be a mistake.
The opr_sanity regression test will now notice such mistakes since there's
no longer a valid case where it happens.
The original representation uses "opcname for amname", which is good
enough; but if we replace "for" with "using", we can apply the returned
identity directly in a DROP command, as in
DROP OPERATOR CLASS opcname USING amname
This slightly simplifies code using object identities to programatically
execute commands on these kinds of objects.
Note backwards-incompatible change:
The previous representation dates back to 9.3 when object identities
were introduced by commit f8348ea3, but we don't want to change the
behavior on released branches unnecessarily and so this is not
backpatched.
In commit bf7ca15875 I introduced an
assumption that an RTE referenced by a whole-row Var must have a valid eref
field. This is false for RTEs constructed by DoCopy, and there are other
places taking similar shortcuts. Perhaps we should make all those places
go through addRangeTableEntryForRelation or its siblings instead of having
ad-hoc logic, but the most reliable fix seems to be to make the new code in
ExecEvalWholeRowVar cope if there's no eref. We can reasonably assume that
there's no need to insert column aliases if no aliases were provided.
Add a regression test case covering this, and also verifying that a sane
column name is in fact available in this situation.
Although the known case only crashes in 9.4 and HEAD, it seems prudent to
back-patch the code change to 9.2, since all the ingredients for a similar
failure exist in the variant patch applied to 9.3 and 9.2.

This field has been unreferenced since 1998, and does not appear in lseg
values stored on disk (since sizeof(lseg) is only 32 bytes according to
pg_type). There was apparently some idea of maintaining it just in values

surely far outweigh the cost of recalculating the line's slope when needed.
Remove it to (a) simplify matters and (b) suppress some uninitialized-field

We've been trying to support \u0000 in JSON values since commit
78ed8e03c6, and have introduced increasingly worse hacks to try to
make it work, such as commit 0ad1a81632. However, it fundamentally
can't work in the way envisioned, because the stored representation looks
the same as for \\u0000 which is not the same thing at all. It's also
entirely bogus to output \u0000 when de-escaped output is called for.
The right way to do this would be to store an actual 0x00 byte, and then
throw error only if asked to produce de-escaped textual output. However,
getting to that point seems likely to take considerable work and may well
never be practical in the 9.4.x series.
To preserve our options for better behavior while getting rid of the nasty
side-effects of 0ad1a81632, revert that commit in toto and instead
throw error if \u0000 is used in a context where it needs to be de-escaped.
(These are the same contexts where non-ASCII Unicode escapes throw error
if the database encoding isn't UTF8, so this behavior is by no means
without precedent.)
In passing, make both the \u0000 case and the non-ASCII Unicode case report
ERRCODE_UNTRANSLATABLE_CHARACTER / "unsupported Unicode escape sequence"
rather than claiming there's something wrong with the input syntax.
Back-patch to 9.4, where we have to do something because 0ad1a81632
broke things for many cases having nothing to do with \u0000. 9.3 also has
bogus behavior, but only for that specific escape value, so given the lack
of field complaints it seems better to leave 9.3 alone.
calc_rangesel() failed outright when comparing range variables to empty

It also produced a bogus estimate for > comparison to an empty range.
On top of that, the >= and > cases were mislabeled throughout. For
nonempty constant ranges, they managed to produce the right answers
anyway as a result of counterbalancing typos.
Also, default_range_selectivity() omitted cases for elem <@ range,
range &< range, and range &> range, so that rather dubious defaults
were applied for these operators.
In passing, rearrange the code in rangesel() so that the elem <@ range

While building error messages to return to the user,
BuildIndexValueDescription, ExecBuildSlotValueDescription and

Instead, include only those columns which the user is providing or which

to view the table or any of the columns involved then no detail is
provided and a NULL value is returned from BuildIndexValueDescription

must have access to all of the columns for the key to be shown; a

Further, in master only, do not return any data for cases where row

This has been assigned CVE-2014-8161, but since the issue and the patch
have already been publicized on pgsql-hackers, there's no point in trying

Fix unsafe coding around PG_TRY in RelationBuildRowSecurity: can't change
a variable inside PG_TRY and then use it in PG_CATCH without marking it
"volatile". In this case though it seems saner to avoid that by doing
a single assignment before entering the TRY block.
I started out just intending to fix that, but the more I looked at the
row-security code the more distressed I got. This patch also fixes
incorrect construction of the RowSecurityPolicy cache entries (there was
not sufficient care taken to copy pass-by-ref data into the cache memory
context) and a whole bunch of sloppiness around the definition and use of
pg_policy.polcmd. You can't use nulls in that column because initdb will
mark it NOT NULL --- and I see no particular reason why a null entry would
be a good idea anyway, so changing initdb's behavior is not the right
answer. The internal value of '\0' wouldn't be suitable in a "char" column
either, so after a bit of thought I settled on using '*' to represent ALL.
Chasing those changes down also revealed that somebody wasn't paying
attention to what the underlying values of ACL_UPDATE_CHR etc really were,
and there was a great deal of lackadaiscalness in the catalogs.sgml
documentation for pg_policy and pg_policies too.
This doesn't pretend to be a complete code review for the row-security
stuff, it just fixes the things that were in my face while dealing with
the bugs in RelationBuildRowSecurity.
In the union support proc, we were not checking the hasnulls flag of

Also change inet_minmax_ops to not be the default opclass for type inet,

This results in a very substantial reduction in disk space usage during
"make check-world", since that sequence involves creation of numerous
temporary installations. It should also help a bit in the buildfarm, even

seems better to do this once in one place rather than expecting that
script to get it right every time.
In 9.4 and HEAD, also undo the unwise choice in commit b1aebbb6a8
to report strerror(errno) after a rmtree() failure. rmtree has already
reported that, possibly for multiple failures with distinct errnos; and

that errno still reflects the last reportable error. So reporting errno
here is at best redundant and at worst badly misleading.

existing test table, which up till a couple lines before that had had over
two thousand rows. Depending on timing of the concurrent regression tests,
the intervening VACUUMs might have been unable to remove those
recently-dead rows, and then the index build would need to create index
entries for them too, leading to the wrap_do_analyze() function being
executed 2000+ times not twice. Avoid this by using a different table
that is guaranteed to have only the intended two rows in it.

Make the error messages issued by array_in() uniformly follow the style
ERROR: malformed array literal: "actual input string"
DETAIL: specific complaint here
and rewrite many of the specific complaints to be clearer.
The immediate motivation for doing this is a complaint from Josh Berkus
that json_to_record() produced an unintelligible error message when
dealing with an array item, because it tries to feed the JSON-format
array value to array_in(). Really it ought to be smart enough to
perform JSON-to-Postgres array conversion, but that's a future feature
not a bug fix. In the meantime, this change is something we agreed
we could back-patch into 9.4, and it should help de-confuse things a bit.
Rather than have the core security_label regression test depend on the
dummy_seclabel module, have that part of the test be executed by
dummy_seclabel itself directly. This simplifies the testing rig a bit;
in particular it should silence the problems from the MSVC buildfarm
phylum, which haven't yet gotten taught how to install src/test/modules.
This is advance preparation for introducing even more test modules; the
easy solution is to add them to contrib, but that's bloated enough that
it seems a good time to think of something different.
Moved modules are dummy_seclabel, test_shm_mq, test_parser and
worker_spi.

to moving that one. We can always reconsider later.)
As pointed out by Robert, we should really have named pg_rowsecurity

The security consideration for COPY with row level security, also
pointed out by Robert, has also been addressed by remembering and
re-checking the OID of the relation initially referenced during COPY

finish planning out the query which has been built.
Robert and Alvaro also commented on missing OCLASS and OBJECT entries
for POLICY (formerly ROWSECURITY or POLICY, depending) in various

15 such words that get demoted here), and what's more to the point is
that future patches proposing to add new plpgsql statements can avoid
objections about having to add new reserved words.
The keywords BEGIN, DECLARE, FOR, FOREACH, LOOP, WHILE need to remain
reserved because they can be preceded by block labels, and the logic
added here doesn't understand about block labels. In principle we
could probably fix that, but it would take more than one token of
lookback and the benefit doesn't seem worth extra complexity.
Also note I didn't de-reserve EXECUTE, because it is used in more places
than just statement start. It's possible it could be de-reserved with
more work, but that would be an independent fix.
In passing, also de-reserve COLLATE and DEFAULT, which shouldn't have
been reserved in the first place since they only need to be recognized
within DECLARE sections.
These cases formerly failed with errors about "could not find array type
for data type". Now they yield arrays of the same element type and one
higher dimension.
The implementation involves creating functions with API similar to the
existing accumArrayResult() family. I (tgl) also extended the base family
by adding an initArrayResult() function, which allows callers to avoid
special-casing the zero-inputs case if they just want an empty array as
result. (Not all do, so the previous calling convention remains valid.)
This allowed simplifying some existing code in xml.c and plperl.c.

In the regression tests, when doing cascaded drops, we need to suppress
the notices from DROP CASCADE or there can be transient regression
failures as the order of drops can depend on the physical row order in
pg_depend.
Report and fix suggestion from Tom.
The locution "EXISTS(SELECT ... LIMIT 1)" seems to be rather common among
people who don't realize that the database already performs optimizations
equivalent to putting LIMIT 1 in the sub-select. Unfortunately, this was
actually making things worse, because it prevented us from optimizing such
EXISTS clauses into semi or anti joins. Teach simplify_EXISTS_query() to
suppress constant-positive LIMIT clauses. That fixes the semi/anti-join
case, and may help marginally even for cases that have to be left as
sub-SELECTs.

That includes VACUUM on GIN, GiST and SP-GiST indexes, and B-tree indexes
large enough to cause page deletions in B-tree. Plus some other special
cases.
After this patch, the regression tests generate all different WAL record
types. Not all branches within the redo functions are covered, but it's a
step forward.
The regression test cases added in commits b2cbced9e et al depended in part
on the Russian timezone offset changes of Oct 2014. While this is of no
particular concern for a default Postgres build, it was possible for a
build using --with-system-tzdata to fail the tests if the system tzdata
database wasn't au courant. Bjorn Munch and Christoph Berg both complained
about this while packaging 9.4rc1, so we probably shouldn't insist on the
system tzdata being up-to-date. Instead, make an equivalent test using a
zone change that occurred in Venezuela in 2007. With this patch, the
regression tests should pass using any tzdata set from 2012 or later.
(I can't muster much sympathy for somebody using --with-system-tzdata
on a machine whose system tzdata is more than three years out-of-date.)
Per complaint from Tom.
While at it, throw in some extra tests for nulls as well, and make sure
that the set of data we insert on the second round is not identical to
the first one. Both measures are intended to improve coverage of the
test.
Also uncomment the ON COMMIT DROP clause on the CREATE TEMP TABLE
commands. This doesn't have any effect for someone examining the
regression database after the tests are done, but it reduces clutter for
those that execute the script directly.
On Windows, DROP TABLESPACE has a race condition when run concurrently
with other processes having opened files in the tablespace. This led to
a rare failure on buildfarm member frogmouth. Back-patch to 9.4, where
the reconnection was introduced.
