In 83ff1618 we defined integer limits iff they're not provided by the
system. That turns out not to be the greatest idea because there's
different ways some datatypes can be represented. E.g. on OSX PG's 64bit
datatype will be a 'long int', but OSX unconditionally uses 'long
long'. That disparity then can lead to warnings, e.g. around printf
formats.
One way to fix that would be to back int64 using stdint.h's
int64_t. While a good idea it's not that easy to implement. We would
e.g. need to include stdint.h in our external headers, which we don't
today. Also computing the correct int64 printf formats in that case is
nontrivial.
Instead simply prefix the integer limits with PG_ and define them
unconditionally. I've adjusted all the references to them in code, but
not the ones in comments; the latter seems unnecessary to me.

This patch fills in the formerly-stub networksel() and networkjoinsel()
estimation functions. Those are used for << <<= >> >>= and && operators
on inet/cidr types. The estimation is not perfect, certainly, because
we rely on the existing statistics collected for the inet btree operators.
But it's a long way better than nothing, and it's not clear that asking
ANALYZE to collect separate stats for these operators would be a win.

... and rename it and its sibling array_offsets to array_position and
array_positions, to account for the changed behavior.
Having the functions return subscripts better matches existing practice,
and is better suited to using the result value as a subscript into the
array directly. For one-based arrays, the new definition is identical
to what was originally committed.
(We use the term "subscript" in the documentation, which is what we use
whenever we talk about arrays; but the functions themselves are named
using the word "position" to match the standard-defined POSITION()
functions.)

Behavioral problem noted by Dean Rasheed.
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.
Several submitted and even committed patches have run into the problem
that C89, our baseline, does not provide minimum/maximum values for
various integer datatypes. C99's stdint.h does, but we can't rely on
it.
Several parts of the code defined limits locally, so instead centralize
the definitions to c.h.
This patch also changes the more obvious usages of literal limit values;
there's more places that could be changed, but it's less clear whether
it's beneficial to change those.

Revert "to_char(float4/8): zero pad to specified length". There are
too many platform-specific problems, and the proper rounding is missing.
Also revert companion patch 9d61b9953c.
Previously, zero padding was limited to the internal length, rather than
the specified length. This allows it to match to_char(int/numeric), which
always padded to the specified length.
Regression tests added.
BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
On platforms where we support 128bit integers, use them to implement
faster transition functions for sum(int8), avg(int8),
var_*(int2/int4),stdev_*(int2/int4). Where not supported continue to use
numeric as a transition type.
In some synthetic benchmarks this has been shown to provide significant
speedups.

The pg_stat and pg_signal-related functions have been using GetUserId()
instead of has_privs_of_role() for checking if the current user should
be able to see details in pg_stat_activity or signal other processes,
requiring a user to do 'SET ROLE' for inheirited roles for a permissions

This patch changes that behavior to, instead, act like most other

This patch fixes two inadequacies of the PlanRowMark representation.
First, that the original LockingClauseStrength isn't stored (and cannot be
inferred for foreign tables, which always get ROW_MARK_COPY). Since some
PlanRowMarks are created out of whole cloth and don't actually have an
ancestral RowMarkClause, this requires adding a dummy LCS_NONE value to
enum LockingClauseStrength, which is fairly annoying but the alternatives
seem worse. This fix allows getting rid of the use of get_parse_rowmark()
in FDWs (as per the discussion around commits 462bd95705 and
8ec8760fc8), and it simplifies some things elsewhere.
Second, that the representation assumed that all child tables in an
inheritance hierarchy would use the same RowMarkType. That's true today
but will soon not be true. We add an "allMarkTypes" field that identifies
the union of mark types used in all a parent table's children, and use
that where appropriate (currently, only in preprocess_targetlist()).
In passing fix a couple of minor infelicities left over from the SKIP
LOCKED patch, notably that _outPlanRowMark still thought waitPolicy
is a bool.
Catversion bump is required because the numeric values of enum
LockingClauseStrength can appear in on-disk rules.
Extracted from a much larger patch to support foreign table inheritance;
it seemed worth breaking this out, since it's a separable concern.

Error messages informing the user that no such column exists can
sometimes provoke a perplexed response. This often happens due to
a subtle typo in the column name or, perhaps less likely, in the
alias name. To speed discovery of what the real issue is in such
cases, we'll now search the range table for approximate matches.
If there are one or two such matches that are good enough to think
that they might be what the user intended to type, and better than
all other approximate matches, we'll issue a hint suggesting that
the user might have intended to reference those columns.

Commands such as ALTER USER, ALTER GROUP, ALTER ROLE, GRANT, and the
various ALTER OBJECT / OWNER TO, as well as ad-hoc clauses related to
roles such as the AUTHORIZATION clause of CREATE SCHEMA, the FOR clause
of CREATE USER MAPPING, and the FOR ROLE clause of ALTER DEFAULT
PRIVILEGES can now take the keywords CURRENT_USER and SESSION_USER as

This commit also fixes some quite ugly handling of special standards-

genericcostestimate() and friends used the cost of the entire indexqual
expressions as the charge for initial evaluation of indexscan arguments.
But of course the index column is not evaluated, only the other side
of the qual expression, so this was a bad overestimate if the index
column was an expensive expression.
To fix, refactor the logic in this area so that there's a single routine
charged with deconstructing index quals and figuring out what is the index
column and what is the comparison expression. This is more or less free in
the case of btree indexes, since btcostestimate() was doing equivalent
deconstruction already. It probably adds a bit of new overhead in the cases
of other index types, but not a lot. (In the case of GIN I think I saved
something by getting rid of code that wasn't aware that the index column
associations were already available "for free".)
Per recent gripe from Jeff Janes.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch because of the
possibility of destabilizing plan choices that people may be happy with.
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.
This makes "ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER tscol TYPE ... USING tscol AT TIME
ZONE 'UTC'" skip rewriting the table when altering from "timestamp" to
"timestamptz" or vice versa. While it would be nicer still to optimize
this in the absence of the USING clause given timezone==UTC, transform
functions must consult IMMUTABLE facts only.
The type variable must get set on first iteration of the while loop,
but there are reasonably modern gcc versions that don't realize that.
Initialize it with a dummy value. This undoes a removal of initialization
in commit 654809e770.
Typo "aggreagate" appeared three times, and the return value of function
JsonbIteratorNext() was being assigned to an int variable in a bunch of
places.
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.
Per gripe on pgsql-general.
When I rewrote this in commit 56a79a869b,
I forgot that it's possible for the input array type to change from one
call to the next (this can happen when applying the function to
pg_statistic columns, for instance). Fix that.
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

Previously, each new array created a new memory context that started

groups of just a few elements each.
Change initArrayResult() and friends to accept a "subcontext" argument

a new subcontext or not. If not, it can no longer be released

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 four functions array_ref, array_set, array_get_slice, array_set_slice
have traditionally declared their array inputs and results as being of type
"ArrayType *". This is a lie, and has been since Berkeley days, because
they actually also support "fixed-length array" types such as "name" and
"point"; not to mention that the inputs could be toasted. These values
should be declared Datum instead to avoid confusion. The current coding
already risks possible misoptimization by compilers, and it'll get worse
when "expanded" array representations become a valid alternative.
However, there's a fair amount of code using array_ref and array_set with
arrays that *are* known to be ArrayType structures, and there might be more
such places in third-party code. Rather than cluttering those call sites
with PointerGetDatum/DatumGetArrayTypeP cruft, what I did was to rename the
existing functions to array_get_element/array_set_element, fix their
signatures, then reincarnate array_ref/array_set as backwards compatibility
wrappers.
array_get_slice/array_set_slice have no such constituency in the core code,
and probably not in third-party code either, so I just changed their APIs.
To get CRC functionality in a client program, you now need to link with
libpgcommon instead of libpgport. The CRC code has nothing to do with
portability, so libpgcommon is a better home. (libpgcommon didn't exist
when pg_crc.c was originally moved to src/port.)
Remove the possibility to get CRC functionality by just #including
pg_crc_tables.h. I'm not aware of any extensions that actually did that and
couldn't simply link with libpgcommon.
This also moves the pg_crc.h header file from src/include/utils to
src/include/common, which will require changes to any external programs
that currently does #include "utils/pg_crc.h". That seems acceptable, as
include/common is clearly the right home for it now, and the change needed
to any such programs is trivial.
The meta data of PGLZ symbolized by PGLZ_Header is removed, to make
the compression and decompression code independent on the backend-only
varlena facility. PGLZ_Header is being used to store some meta data
related to the data being compressed like the raw length of the uncompressed
record or some varlena-related data, making it unpluggable once PGLZ is
stored in src/common as it contains some backend-only code paths with
the management of varlena structures. The APIs of PGLZ are reworked
at the same time to do only compression and decompression of buffers
without the meta-data layer, simplifying its use for a more general usage.
On-disk format is preserved as well, so there is no incompatibility with
previous major versions of PostgreSQL for TOAST entries.
Exposing compression and decompression APIs of pglz makes possible its
use by extensions and contrib modules. Especially this commit is required
for upcoming WAL compression feature so that the WAL reader facility can
decompress the WAL data by using pglz_decompress.

We reserve space for the full amount, not one less. The affected checks
deal with localized month and day names. Today's DCH_MAX_ITEM_SIZ value

change is merely to avoid misdirecting future readers of the code; users
are not expected to see errors either way.
This field has been unreferenced since 1998, and does not appear in lseg

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

* Make GEODEBUG message more intelligible.

an ending pointer.

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
case is handled in a less opaque fashion.
