VACUUM normally ends by running vac_update_datfrozenxid(), which
requires a scan of pg_class. Therefore, if one attempts to vacuum a
database one table at a time --- as vacuumdb has done since v12 ---
we will spend O(N^2) time in vac_update_datfrozenxid(). That causes
serious performance problems in databases with tens of thousands of
tables, and indeed the effect is measurable with only a few hundred.
To add insult to injury, only one process can run
vac_update_datfrozenxid at the same time per DB, so this behavior
largely defeats vacuumdb's -j option.
Hence, invent options SKIP_DATABASE_STATS and ONLY_DATABASE_STATS
to allow applications to postpone vac_update_datfrozenxid() until the
end of a series of VACUUM requests, and teach vacuumdb to use them.
Per bug #17717 from Gunnar L. Sadly, this answer doesn't seem
like something we'd consider back-patching, so the performance
problem will remain in v12-v15.

A schema rename should cause reporting the new qualified names of
tables to logical replication subscribers, but that wasn't happening.
Flush the RelationSyncCache to make it happen.
(If you ask me, the new test case shows that the behavior in this area

The ALTER DATABASE|FUNCTION|PROCEDURE|ROLE|ROUTINE|USER ... SET <name>
case in psql tab completion failed to exclude <name> = "SCHEMA", which

Testing on CI showed that Cygwin's semctl() can fail with EAGAIN

Instead of having checks in AddRoleMems() and DelRoleMems(), have
the callers perform checks where it's required. In some cases it
isn't, either because the caller has already performed a check for
the same condition, or because the check couldn't possibly fail.
The "Skip permission check if nothing to do" check in each of
AddRoleMems() and DelRoleMems() is pointless. Some call sites
can't pass an empty list. Others can, but in those cases, the role
being modified is one that the current user has just created.
Therefore, they must have permission to modify it, and so no
permission check is required at all.

We were identifying the updatable generated columns of inheritance
children by transposing the calculation made for their parent.
However, there's nothing that says a traditional-inheritance child
can't have generated columns that aren't there in its parent, or that
have different dependencies than are in the parent's expression.
(At present it seems that we don't enforce that for partitioning
either, which is likely wrong to some degree or other; but the case
clearly needs to be handled with traditional inheritance.)
Hence, drop the very-klugy-anyway "extraUpdatedCols" RTE field
in favor of identifying which generated columns depend on updated
columns during executor startup. In HEAD we can remove
extraUpdatedCols altogether; in back branches, it's still there but
always empty. Another difference between the HEAD and back-branch
versions of this patch is that in HEAD we can add the new bitmap field
to ResultRelInfo, but that would cause an ABI break in back branches.
Like 4b3e37993, add a List field at the end of struct EState instead.
Back-patch to v13. The bogus calculation is also being made in v12,
but it doesn't have the same visible effect because we don't use it
to decide which generated columns to recalculate; as a consequence of
which the patch doesn't apply easily. I think that there might still
be a demonstrable bug associated with trigger firing conditions, but
that's such a weird corner-case usage that I'm content to leave it
unfixed in v12.

Commit 4f627f89 switched SLRU truncation for multixacts back to being a
task performed during VACUUM, but missed some comments that continued to
reference truncation happening as part of checkpointing. Update those
comments now.
Also update comments that became obsolete when commit c3ffa731 changed
the way that vacuum_multixact_freeze_min_age is applied by VACUUM as it
computes its MultiXactCutoff cutoff (which is used by VACUUM to decide
what to freeze). Explain the same issues by referencing how OldestMxact
is the latest valid value that relminmxid can ever be advanced to at the
end of a VACUUM (following the work in commit 0b018fab).
Combine multiple LOCK TABLE commands to reduce the number of
round trips to the server. This is particularly helpful when
dumping from a remote server, but it seems useful even without
that. In particular, shortening the time from seeing a table
in pg_class to acquiring lock on it reduces the window for
trouble from concurrent DDL.

supported by calling EnumSystemLocalesEx(), similar to what is already
done in the READ_LOCALE_A_OUTPUT switch. We can refactor some of the

create_collation_from_locale().
The enumerated locales have BCP 47 shape, that is with a hyphen
between language and territory, instead of POSIX's underscore. The
created collations will retain the BCP 47 shape, but we will also
create a POSIX alias, so xx-YY will have an xx_YY alias.

When considering an empty grouping set, we fetched
phasedata->eqfunctions[-1]. Because the eqfunctions array is
palloc'd, that would always be an aset pointer in released versions,
and thus the code accidentally failed to malfunction (since it would
do nothing unless it found a null pointer). Nonetheless this seems

It's depressing that our valgrind testing did not catch this.

A refcursor variable that is bound to a specific query (by declaring
it with "CURSOR FOR") now chooses a portal name in the same way as an
unbound, plain refcursor variable. Its string value starts out as
NULL, and unless that's overridden by manual assignment, it will be
replaced by a unique-within-session portal name during OPEN.
The previous behavior was to initialize such variables to contain
their own name, resulting in that also being the portal name unless
the user overwrote it before OPEN. The trouble with this is that
it causes failures due to conflicting portal names if the same
cursor variable name is used in different functions. It is pretty
non-orthogonal to have bound and unbound refcursor variables behave
differently on this point, too, so let's change it.
This change can cause compatibility problems for applications that
open a bound cursor in a plpgsql function and then use it in the
calling code without explicitly passing back the refcursor value
(portal name). If the calling code simply assumes that the portal
name matches the called function's variable name, it will now fail.
That can be fixed by explicitly assigning a string value to the
refcursor variable before OPEN, e.g.
DECLARE myc CURSOR FOR SELECT ...;
BEGIN
myc := 'myc'; -- add this
OPEN myc;
We have no documentation examples showing the troublesome usage
pattern, so we can hope it's rare in practice.

When collecting ANALYZE sample on foreign tables, postgres_fdw fetched
all rows and performed the sampling locally. For large tables this means
transferring and immediately discarding large amounts of data.
This commit allows the sampling to be performed on the remote server,
transferring only the much smaller sample. The sampling is performed
using the built-in TABLESAMPLE methods (system, bernoulli) or random()
function, depending on the remote server version.
Remote sampling can be enabled by analyze_sampling on the foreign server
and/or foreign table, with supported values 'off', 'auto', 'system',
'bernoulli' and 'random'. The default value is 'auto' which uses either
'bernoulli' (TABLESAMPLE method) or 'random' (for remote servers without
TABLESAMPLE support).
When brin_minmax_multi_union merges summaries, we may end up with just a
single range after merge_overlapping_ranges. The summaries may contain
just one range each, and they may overlap (or be exactly the same).
With a single range there's no distance to calculate, but we happen to
call build_distances anyway - which is fine, we don't calculate the
distance in this case, except that with asserts this failed due to a
check there are at least two ranges.
The assert is unnecessarily strict, so relax it a bit and bail out if
there's just a single range. The relaxed assert would be enough, but
this way we don't allocate unnecessary memory for distance.

Specifying an out-of-range precision for CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and

Ian has reported the problems in timestamp.c, while I have noticed the

New versions of perl trigger warnings within perl.h with our compiler
flags. At least -Wdeclaration-after-statement, -Wshadow=compatible-local are
known to be problematic.
To avoid these warnings, conditionally use #pragma GCC system_header before
including plperl.h.
Alternatively, we could add the include paths for problematic headers with
-isystem, but that is a larger hammer and is harder to search for.
A more granular alternative would be to use #pragma GCC diagnostic
push/ignored/pop, but gcc warns about unknown warnings being ignored, so every
to-be-ignored-temporarily compiler warning would require its own pg_config.h
symbol and #ifdef.
As the warnings are voluminous, it makes sense to backpatch this change. But
don't do so yet, we first want gather buildfarm coverage - it's e.g. possible
that some compiler claiming to be gcc compatible has issues with the pragma.

Teach VACUUM to decide on whether or not to trigger freezing at the
level of whole heap pages. Individual XIDs and MXIDs fields from tuple
headers now trigger freezing of whole pages, rather than independently
triggering freezing of each individual tuple header field.
Managing the cost of freezing over time now significantly influences
when and how VACUUM freezes. The overall amount of WAL written is the
single most important freezing related cost, in general. Freezing each
page's tuples together in batch allows VACUUM to take full advantage of
the freeze plan WAL deduplication optimization added by commit 9e540599.
Also teach VACUUM to trigger page-level freezing whenever it detects
that heap pruning generated an FPI. We'll have already written a large
amount of WAL just to do that much, so it's very likely a good idea to
get freezing out of the way for the page early. This only happens in
cases where it will directly lead to marking the page all-frozen in the
visibility map.
In most cases "freezing a page" removes all XIDs < OldestXmin, and all
MXIDs < OldestMxact. It doesn't quite work that way in certain rare
cases involving MultiXacts, though. It is convenient to define "freeze
the page" in a way that gives FreezeMultiXactId the leeway to put off
the work of processing an individual tuple's xmax whenever it happens to
be a MultiXactId that would require an expensive second pass to process
aggressively (allocating a new multi is especially worth avoiding here).
FreezeMultiXactId is eager when processing is cheap (as it usually is),
and lazy in the event of an individual multi that happens to require
expensive second pass processing. This avoids regressions related to
processing of multis that page-level freezing might otherwise cause.
