Tom Lane a467832047 Doc: note that statement-level view triggers require an INSTEAD OF trigger.
If a view lacks an INSTEAD OF trigger, DML on it can only work by rewriting
the command into a command on the underlying base table(s).  Then we will
fire triggers attached to those table(s), not those for the view.  This
seems appropriate from a consistency standpoint, but nowhere was the
behavior explicitly documented, so let's do that.

There was some discussion of throwing an error or warning if a statement
trigger is created on a view without creating a row INSTEAD OF trigger.
But a simple implementation of that would result in dump/restore ordering
hazards.  Given that it's been like this all along, and we hadn't heard
a complaint till now, a documentation improvement seems sufficient.

Per bug #15106 from Pu Qun.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

Magnus Hagander 8d2814f274 Fix pg_recvlogical for pre-10 versions
In e170b8c8, protection against modified search_path was added. However,
PostgreSQL versions prior to 10 does not accept SQL commands over a
replication connection, so the protection would generate a syntax error.

Since we cannot run SQL commands on it, we are also not vulnerable to
the issue that e170b8c8 fixes, so we can just skip this command for
older versions.

Tom Lane 2dbee9f19f Fix overflow handling in plpgsql's integer FOR loops.
The test to exit the loop if the integer control value would overflow
an int32 turns out not to work on some ICC versions, as it's dependent
on the assumption that the compiler will execute the code as written
rather than "optimize" it.  ICC lacks any equivalent of gcc's -fwrapv
switch, so it was optimizing on the assumption of no integer overflow,
and that breaks this.  Rewrite into a form that in fact does not
do any overflowing computations.

Per Tomas Vondra and buildfarm member fulmar.  It's been like this
for a long time, although it was not till we added a regression test
case covering the behavior (in commit dd2243f2a) that the problem
became apparent.  Back-patch to all supported versions.

Tom Lane 8f5ac44043 Fix WHERE CURRENT OF when the referenced cursor uses an index-only scan.
"UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name" failed, with an error message
like "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple", if the cursor
was using a index-only scan for the target table.  Fix it by digging the
current TID out of the indexscan state.

It seems likely that the same failure could occur for CustomScan plans
and perhaps some FDW plan types, so that leaving this to be treated as an
internal error with an obscure message isn't as good an idea as it first
seemed.  Hence, add a bit of heaptuple.c infrastructure to let us deliver
a more on-topic message.  I chose to make the message match what you get
for the case where execCurrentOf can't identify the target scan node at
all, "cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"".
Perhaps it should be different, but we can always adjust that later.

In the future, it might be nice to provide hooks that would let custom
scan providers and/or FDWs deal with this in other ways; but that's
not a suitable topic for a back-patchable bug fix.

It's been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

ExecHashTableCreate allocated some memory that wasn't freed by

That's not a huge amount of data, but if one runs a query that repeats
a hash join enough times, it builds up.  Fix by arranging for the data

Tom Lane 2cf8c7aa48 Clean up duplicate table and function names in regression tests.
Many of the objects we create during the regression tests are put in the
public schema, so that using the same names in different regression tests
creates a hazard of test failures if any two such scripts run concurrently.
This patch cleans up a bunch of latent hazards of that sort, as well as two
live hazards.

The current situation in this regard is far worse than it was a year or two
back, because practically all of the partitioning-related test cases have
reused table names with enthusiasm.  I despaired of cleaning up that mess
within the five most-affected tests (create_table, alter_table, insert,
update, inherit); fortunately those don't run concurrently.

Other than partitioning problems, most of the issues boil down to using
names like "foo", "bar", "tmp", etc, without thought for the fact that
other test scripts might use similar names concurrently.  I've made an
effort to make all such names more specific.

One of the live hazards was that commit 7421f4b8 caused with.sql to
create a table named "test", conflicting with a similarly-named table
in alter_table.sql; this was exposed in the buildfarm recently.
The other one was that join.sql and transactions.sql both create tables
named "foo" and "bar"; but join.sql's uses of those names date back
only to December or so.

Since commit 7421f4b8 was back-patched to v10, back-patch a minimal
fix for that problem.  The rest of this is just future-proofing.

There's no functional change here, or at least I hope there isn't,
just code rearrangement.  The rearrangement is motivated by
partition-wise aggregate, which doesn't need to consider the

Tom Lane fb7db40ad2 Clean up duplicate role and schema names in regression tests.
Since these names are global, using the same ones in different regression
tests creates a hazard of test failures if any two such scripts run
concurrently.  Let's establish a policy of not doing that.  In the cases
where a conflict existed, I chose to rename both sides: in principle one
script or the other could've been left in possession of the common name,
but that seems to just invite more trouble of the same sort.

There are a number of places where scripts are using names that seem
unduly generic, but in the absence of actual conflicts I left them alone.

In addition, fix insert.sql's use of "someone_else" as a role name.
That's a flat out violation of longstanding project policy, so back-patch
that change to v10 where the usage appeared.  The rest of this is just
future-proofing, as no two of these scripts are actually run concurrently
in the existing parallel_schedule.

Conflicts of schema-qualified names also exist, but will be dealt with
separately.

Peter Eisentraut 3a4b891964 Fix more format truncation issues
Fix the warnings created by the compiler warning options
-Wformat-overflow=2 -Wformat-truncation=2, supported since GCC 7.  This

default.

The issues are all harmless, but some dubious coding patterns are
cleaned up.

One issue that is of external interest is that BGW_MAXLEN is increased
from 64 to 96.  Apparently, the old value would cause the bgw_name of
logical replication workers to be truncated in some circumstances.

But this doesn't actually add those warning options.  It appears that
the warnings depend a bit on compilation and optimization options, so it
would be annoying to have to keep up with that.  This is more of a

Alvaro Herrera 24c0a6c649 logical replication: fix OID type mapping mechanism
The logical replication type map seems to have been misused by its only
caller -- it would try to use the remote OID as input for local type
routines, which unsurprisingly could result in bogus "cache lookup
failed for type XYZ" errors, or random other type names being picked up
if they happened to use the right OID.  Fix that, changing
Oid logicalrep_typmap_getid(Oid remoteid) to
char *logicalrep_typmap_gettypname(Oid remoteid)
which is more useful.  If the remote type is not part of the typmap,
this simply prints "unrecognized type" instead of choking trying to
figure out -- a pointless exercise (because the only input for that
comes from replication messages, which are not under the local node's
control) and dangerous to boot, when called from within an error context
callback.

Once that is done, it comes to light that the local OID in the typmap
entry was not being used for anything; the type/schema names are what we
need, so remove local type OID from that struct.

Once you do that, it becomes pointless to attach a callback to regular
syscache invalidation.  So remove that also.

Robert Haas 0927d2f46d Let Parallel Append over simple UNION ALL have partial subpaths.
A simple UNION ALL gets flattened into an appendrel of subquery
RTEs, but up until now it's been impossible for the appendrel to use
the partial paths for the subqueries, so we can implement the
appendrel as a Parallel Append but only one with non-partial paths
as children.

There are three separate obstacles to removing that limitation.
First, when planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths to the
final_rel so that they are potentially visible to outer query levels
(but not if they have initPlans attached, because that wouldn't be
safe).  Second, after planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths
for the final_rel to the subquery RTE in the outer query level in the
same way we do for non-partial paths.  Third, teach finalize_plan() to
account for the possibility that the fake parameter we use for rescan
signalling when the plan contains a Gather (Merge) node may be
propagated from an outer query level.

Tom Lane d04900de7d When updating reltuples after ANALYZE, just extrapolate from our sample.
The existing logic for updating pg_class.reltuples trusted the sampling
results only for the pages ANALYZE actually visited, preferring to
believe the previous tuple density estimate for all the unvisited pages.
While there's some rationale for doing that for VACUUM (first that
VACUUM is likely to visit a very nonrandom subset of pages, and second
that we know for sure that the unvisited pages did not change), there's
no such rationale for ANALYZE: by assumption, it's looked at an unbiased
random sample of the table's pages.  Furthermore, in a very large table
ANALYZE will have examined only a tiny fraction of the table's pages,
meaning it cannot slew the overall density estimate very far at all.
In a table that is physically growing, this causes reltuples to increase
nearly proportionally to the change in relpages, regardless of what is
actually happening in the table.  This has been observed to cause reltuples
to become so much larger than reality that it effectively shuts off
autovacuum, whose threshold for doing anything is a fraction of reltuples.
(Getting to the point where that would happen seems to require some
additional, not well understood, conditions.  But it's undeniable that if
reltuples is seriously off in a large table, ANALYZE alone will not fix it
in any reasonable number of iterations, especially not if the table is
continuing to grow.)

Hence, restrict the use of vac_estimate_reltuples() to VACUUM alone,
and in ANALYZE, just extrapolate from the sample pages on the assumption
that they provide an accurate model of the whole table.  If, by very bad
luck, they don't, at least another ANALYZE will fix it; in the old logic
a single bad estimate could cause problems indefinitely.

In HEAD, let's remove vac_estimate_reltuples' is_analyze argument
altogether; it was never used for anything and now it's totally pointless.
But keep it in the back branches, in case any third-party code is calling
this function.

Per bug #15005.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 38f7831d70 Avoid holding AutovacuumScheduleLock while rechecking table statistics.
In databases with many tables, re-fetching the statistics takes some time,
so that this behavior seriously decreases the available concurrency for
multiple autovac workers.  There's discussion afoot about more complete
fixes, but a simple and back-patchable amelioration is to claim the table
and release the lock before rechecking stats.  If we find out there's no
longer a reason to process the table, re-taking the lock to un-claim the
table is cheap enough.

(This patch is quite old, but got lost amongst a discussion of more
aggressive fixes.  It's not clear when or if such a fix will be
accepted, but in any case it'd be unlikely to get back-patched.
Let's do this now so we have some improvement for the back branches.)

In passing, make the normal un-claim step take AutovacuumScheduleLock
not AutovacuumLock, since that is what is documented to protect the
wi_tableoid field.  This wasn't an actual bug in view of the fact that
readers of that field hold both locks, but it creates some concurrency
penalty against operations that need only AutovacuumLock.

Back-patch to all supported versions.

Peter Eisentraut 17bb625017 Move strtoint() to common
Several places used similar code to convert a string to an int, so take
the function that we already had and make it globally available.

Peter Eisentraut 6cf86f4354 Change internal integer representation of Value node
A Value node would store an integer as a long.  This causes needless
portability risks, as long can be of varying sizes.  Change it to use
int instead.  All code using this was already careful to only store
32-bit values anyway.

Peter Eisentraut 377b5ac484 Fix CREATE TABLE / LIKE with bigint identity column
CREATE TABLE / LIKE with a bigint identity column would fail on
platforms where long is 32 bits.  Copying the sequence values used
makeInteger(), which would truncate the 64-bit sequence data to 32 bits.
To fix, use makeFloat() instead, like the parser.  (This does not
actually make use of floats, but stores the values as strings.)

Alvaro Herrera 1f8a3327a9 Avoid having two PKs in a partition
If a table containing a primary key is attach as partition to a
partitioned table which has a primary key with a different definition,
we would happily create a second one in the new partition.  Oops.  It
turns out that this is because an error check in DefineIndex is executed
only if you tell it that it's being run by ALTER TABLE, and the original
code here wasn't.  Change it so that it does.

Added a couple of test cases for this, also.  A previously working test
started to fail in a different way than before patch because the new
check is called earlier; change the PK to plain UNIQUE so that the new
behavior isn't invoked, so that the test continues to verify what we
want it to verify.
