DROP OWNED BY has a specific code path to remove ACLs stored in
pg_default_acl when cleaning up shared dependencies that had no
coverage with the existing tests. This issue has been found while
digging into the bug fixed by 21378e1.
As ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES impacts the ACLs of all objects created
while the default permissions are visible, the test uses a transaction
rollback to isolate the test and avoid any impact with other sessions
running in parallel.

Specifying duplicated objects in this command would lead to unique
constraint violations in pg_default_acl or "tuple already updated by
self" errors. Similarly to GRANT/REVOKE, increment the command ID after
each subcommand processing to allow this case to work transparently.
A regression test is added by tweaking one of the existing queries of
privileges.sql to stress this case.

The context is an object that no longer bears some aclitem that it bore
initially. (A user issued REVOKE or GRANT statements upon the object.)
pg_dump is forming SQL to reproduce the object ACL. Since initdb
creates no ACL bearing GRANT OPTION, reaching this bug requires an
extension where the creation script establishes such an ACL. No PGXN
extension does that. If an installation did reach the bug, pg_dump
would have omitted a semicolon, causing a REVOKE and the next SQL
statement to fail. Separately, since the affected code exists to
eliminate an entire aclitem, it wants plain REVOKE, not REVOKE GRANT
OPTION FOR. Back-patch to 9.6, where commit

When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits
ca4103025d in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c32 in pg11 for indexes),
it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various
problems. One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER
TABLE causes a server crash.
Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces
when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a
tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any
partitioned relations.
Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along. We
don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned
indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be
protected.
Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that
contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd
previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll
get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST. Arguably, the latter is more
correct.
It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing
tables/indexes, by doing
ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default;
ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace;
for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default
tablespace. Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no
file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than
what's required to acquire locks.
This query can be used to search for such relations:
SELECT ... FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('p', 'I') AND reltablespace <> 0

Commit 709d003fbd refactored WAL-reading code, but accidentally caused
WalSndSegmentOpen() to fail to follow a timeline switch while reading from
a historic timeline. This issue caused a standby to fail to follow a primary
on a newer timeline when WAL archiving is enabled.
If there is a timeline switch within the segment, WalSndSegmentOpen() should
read from the WAL segment belonging to the new timeline. But previously
since it failed to follow a timeline switch, it tried to read the WAL segment
with old timeline. When WAL archiving is enabled, that WAL segment with
old timeline doesn't exist because it's renamed to .partial. This leads
a primary to have tried to read non-existent WAL segment, and which caused
replication to faill with the error "ERROR: requested WAL segment ... has
already been removed".
This commit fixes WalSndSegmentOpen() so that it's able to follow a timeline
switch, to ensure that a standby is able to follow a primary on a newer
timeline even when WAL archiving is enabled.

Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that
the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not
being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies
any of the index's key columns.
The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not
apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where
all key columns are logically unchanged). Any index tuple that receives
the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one
existing older version that is needed for the same logical row. Related
versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least
within index AMs that apply the hint.
Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and
true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup
of garbage index tuples. Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that
are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less
promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn).
This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to
perform bottom-up index deletion. No index AM actually applies the hint
just yet.

brenext(), when parsing a '*' quantifier, forgot to return any "value"
for the token; per the equivalent case in next(), it should return
value 1 to indicate that greedy rather than non-greedy behavior is
wanted. The result is that the compiled regexp could behave like 'x*?'
rather than the intended 'x*', if we were unlucky enough to have
a zero in v->nextvalue at this point. That seems to happen with some
reliability if we have '.*' at the beginning of a BRE-mode regexp,
although that depends on the initial contents of a stack-allocated

This module provides a function test_regex() that is functionally
rather like regexp_matches(), but with additional debugging-oriented
options and additional output. The debug options are somewhat obscure;
they are chosen to match the API of the test harness that Henry Spencer
wrote way-back-when for use in Tcl. With this, we can import all the
test cases that Spencer wrote originally, even for regex functionality
that we don't currently expose in Postgres. This seems necessary
because we can no longer rely on Tcl to act as upstream and verify
any fixes or improvements that we make.
In addition to Spencer's tests, I added a few for lookbehind
constraints (which we added in 2015, and Tcl still hasn't absorbed)
that are modeled on his tests for lookahead constraints. After looking
at code coverage reports, I also threw in a couple of tests to more
fully exercise our "high colormap" logic.
According to my testing, this brings the check-world coverage
for src/backend/regex/ from 71.1% to 86.7% of lines.
(coverage.postgresql.org shows a slightly different number,
which I think is because it measures a non-assert build.)

Formerly, TOAST objects were unconditionally suppressed, but since
\d is able to print them it's not very clear why these variants
should not. Instead, use the same rules as for system catalogs:
they can be seen if you write the 'S' modifier or a table name
pattern. (In practice, since hardly anybody would keep pg_toast
in their search_path, it's really down to whether you use a pattern
that can match pg_toast.*.)
No docs change seems necessary because the docs already say that
this happens for "system objects"; we're just classifying TOAST
tables as being that.

If the substring start index and length overflow when added together,
substring() misbehaved, either throwing a bogus "negative substring
length" error on a case that should succeed, or failing to complain that
a negative length is negative (and instead returning the whole string,
in most cases). Unsurprisingly, the text, bytea, and bit variants of
the function all had this issue. Rearrange the logic to ensure that
negative lengths are always rejected, and add an overflow check to
handle the other case.
Also install similar guards into detoast_attr_slice() (nee

In the wake of the previous commit, we don't really need this anymore,
since array assignment is primarily handled by the core code.
The only way that that code could still be reached is that a GET
DIAGNOSTICS target variable could be an array element. But that
doesn't seem like a particularly essential feature. I'd added it
in commit 55caaaeba, but just because it was easy not because
anyone had actually asked for it. Hence, revert that patch and
then remove the now-unreachable stuff. (If we really had to,
we could probably reimplement GET DIAGNOSTICS using the new
assignment machinery; but the cost/benefit ratio looks very poor,
and it'd likely be a bit slower.)
Note that PLPGSQL_DTYPE_RECFIELD remains. It's possible that we
could get rid of that too, but maintaining the existing behaviors
for RECORD-type variables seems like it might be difficult. Since
there's not any functional limitation in those code paths as there
was in the ARRAYELEM code, I've not pursued the idea.

Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle
pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid
of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser. This moves a good deal
of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to
invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious)
historical behavior for assignment coercions. That's getting away
from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of
the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago.
The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core
parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle
assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays. That
fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql
assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows
pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting
behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14.
There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a
pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing
"SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text.
Also, there seem to be some small speed gains.

Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the
grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However,
POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed:
setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now
treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has
cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy.
This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for
any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised
if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend
win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv()
with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv()
wannabees.
Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the
POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning
void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make
all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought
to match real-world practice.

Buildfarm members pogona and petalura have shown a failure when

The default rotate-at-midnight behavior occurs just before the

that rotation happens just after it looks, so the expected new

The parsing of this parameter has been using strtoul(), which is not
portable across platforms. On most Unix platforms, unsigned long has a
size of 64 bits, while on Windows it is 32 bits. It is common in
recovery scenarios to rely on the output of txid_current() or even the
newer pg_current_xact_id() to get a transaction ID for setting up
recovery_target_xid. The value returned by those functions includes the
epoch in the computed result, which would cause strtoul() to fail where
unsigned long has a size of 32 bits once the epoch is incremented.
WAL records and 2PC data include only information about 32-bit XIDs and
it is not possible to have XIDs across more than one epoch, so
discarding the high bits from the transaction ID set has no impact on
recovery. On the contrary, the use of strtoul() prevents a consistent
behavior across platforms depending on the size of unsigned long.
This commit changes the parsing of recovery_target_xid to use
pg_strtouint64() instead, available down to 9.6. There is one TAP test
stressing recovery with recovery_target_xid, where a tweak based on
pg_reset{xlog,wal} is added to bump the XID epoch so as this change gets
tested, as per an idea from Alexander Lakhin.

Multiranges are basically sorted arrays of non-overlapping ranges with
set-theoretic operations defined over them.
Since v14, each range type automatically gets a corresponding multirange
datatype. There are both manual and automatic mechanisms for naming multirange
types. Once can specify multirange type name using multirange_type_name
attribute in CREATE TYPE. Otherwise, a multirange type name is generated
automatically. If the range type name contains "range" then we change that to
"multirange". Otherwise, we add "_multirange" to the end.
Implementation of multiranges comes with a space-efficient internal
representation format, which evades extra paddings and duplicated storage of
oids. Altogether this format allows fetching a particular range by its index
in O(n).
Statistic gathering and selectivity estimation are implemented for multiranges.
For this purpose, stored multirange is approximated as union range without gaps.
This field will likely need improvements in the future.

associated comment into a partial lie.
Any subdirectory that's ignoring /output_iso/ should also
ignore /tmp_check_iso/, which could be left behind by a
failed pg_isolation_regress_check run.
I think these have been wrong for awhile, but it doesn't
seem important to fix in back branches.
Many older tests where written in a style like
SELECT '' AS two, i.* FROM INT2_TBL
where the first column indicated the number of expected result rows.
This has gotten increasingly out of date, as the test data fixtures
have expanded, so a lot of these were wrong and misleading. Moreover,
this style isn't really necessary, since the psql output already shows
the number of result rows.
To clean this up, remove all those extra columns.
