Amendment to 84ad713cf85aeffee5dd39f62d49a1b9e34632da: Not all
prepared statements have a result descriptor. As currently coded,
this would crash when reading pg_prepared_statements. Make those
cases return null for result_types instead. Also add a test case for
it.
Attempting such an operation would already fail, but in various and
confusing ways. For example, while in recovery, some elog() messages
would be reported, but these should never be user-facing. This commit
restricts any write operations done on large objects in a read-only
context, so as the errors generated are more user-friendly. This is per
the discussion done with Tom Lane and Robert Haas.
Some regression tests are added to check the case of all the SQL
functions working on large objects (including an update of the test's
alternate output).

POSIX shm_open() can sleep for a long time and fail spuriously because
of contention on an internal lock file on Solaris (and presumably
illumos). Commit 389869af fixed the main problem with this, namely that
we could crash, but it's now clear that "posix" is not a good default.
Therefore, choose "sysv" at initdb time on Solaris and illumos. Other
choices are still available by editing the postgresql.conf file.
Back-patch only to 15, because contention is much less likely further
back, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to change this in released
branches. This should clear up the failures on build farm animal

manually vacuum tables at least every night.
Autovacuum is now also triggered by INSERTs, so we can also
remove the recommendation to run VACUUM (ANALYZE) after lots
of INSERTs or DELETEs.
Instead, suggest using autovacuum by moving the respective

This reverts commits 5753d4ee32 and fe60b67250 that modified HOT to
ignore BRIN indexes. The commit message for 5753d4ee32 claims that:
When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using
HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed only by BRIN indexes. There
are no index pointers to individual tuples in BRIN, and the page
range summary will be updated anyway as it relies on visibility
info.
This is partially incorrect - it's true BRIN indexes don't point to
individual tuples, so HOT chains are not an issue, but the visibitlity
info is not sufficient to keep the index up to date. This can easily
result in corrupted indexes, as demonstrated in the hackers thread.
This does not mean relaxing the HOT restrictions for BRIN is a lost
cause, but it needs to handle the two aspects (allowing HOT chains and
updating the page range summaries) as separate. But that requires a
major changes, and it's too late for that in the current dev cycle.

This commit, in completion of 157f873, forces a ROLLBACK for
--single-transaction only when ON_ERROR_STOP is used when one of the
steps defined by -f/-c fails. Hence, COMMIT is always used when
ON_ERROR_STOP is not set, ignoring the status code of the last action
taken in the set of switches specified by -c/-f (previously ROLLBACK
would have been issued even without ON_ERROR_STOP if the last step
failed, while COMMIT was issued if a step in-between failed as long as
the last step succeeded, leading to more inconsistency).
While on it, this adds much more test coverage in this area when not
using ON_ERROR_STOP with multiple switch patterns involving -c and -f
for query files, single queries and slash commands.
The behavior of ON_ERROR_STOP is arguably a bug, but there was no much
support for a backpatch to force a ROLLBACK on a step failure, so this
change is done only on HEAD for now.

The patch introducing jsonpath dropped a para about that between
two related examples, and didn't bother updating the introductory
sentences that it falsified. The grammar was pretty shaky as well.
38bfae3 has moved the contents written to files by pg_upgrade under a
new directory called pg_upgrade_output.d/ located in the new cluster's
data folder, and it used a simple structure made of two subdirectories
leading to a fixed structure: log/ and dump/. This design has made
weaker pg_upgrade on repeated calls, as we could get failures when
creating one or more of those directories, while potentially losing the
logs of a previous run (logs are retained automatically on failure, and
cleaned up on success unless --retain is specified). So a user would
need to clean up pg_upgrade_output.d/ as an extra step for any repeated
calls of pg_upgrade. The most common scenario here is --check followed
by the actual upgrade, but one could see a failure when specifying an
incorrect input argument value. Removing entirely the logs would have
the disadvantage of removing all the past information, even if --retain
was specified at some past step.
This result is annoying for a lot of users and automated upgrade flows.
So, rather than requiring a manual removal of pg_upgrade_output.d/, this
redesigns the set of output directories in a more dynamic way, based on
a suggestion from Tom Lane and Daniel Gustafsson. pg_upgrade_output.d/
is still the base path, but a second directory level is added, mostly
named after an ISO-8601-formatted timestamp (in short human-readable,
with milliseconds appended to the name to avoid any conflicts). The
logs and dumps are saved within the same subdirectories as previously,
as of log/ and dump/, but these are located inside the subdirectory
named after the timestamp.
The logs of a given run are removed only after a successful run if
--retain is not used, and pg_upgrade_output.d/ is kept if there are any
logs from a previous run. Note that previously, pg_upgrade would have
kept the logs even after a successful --check but that was inconsistent
compared to the case without --check when using --retain. The code in
charge of the removal of the output directories is now refactored into a
single routine.
Two TAP tests are added with some --check commands (one failure case and
one success case), to look after the issue fixed here. Note that the
tests had to be tweaked a bit to fit with the new directory structure so
as it can find any logs generated on failure. This is still going to
require a change in the buildfarm client for the case where pg_upgrade
is tested without the TAP test, though, but I'll tackle that with a
separate patch where needed.

psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches
in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising
behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an
error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which
would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already
applied in the backend. This commit makes the behavior more consistent,
by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both
client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error
happens in any of them.
Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that.
Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE
if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work
properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is
what the original report is about.

Currently, we simply combine the column lists when publishing tables on
multiple publications and that can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
Say, if a column is published in any row-filtered publication, then the
values for that column are sent to the subscriber even for rows that don't
match the row filter, as long as the row matches the row filter for any
other publication, even if that other publication doesn't include the
column.
The main purpose of introducing a column list is to have statically
different shapes on publisher and subscriber or hide sensitive column
data. In both cases, it doesn't seem to make sense to combine column
lists.
So, we disallow the cases where the column list is different for the same
table when combining publications. It can be later extended to combine the
column lists for selective cases where required.

This reverts commit d9d076222f "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations
with CONCURRENTLY".
These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to
miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index
creation. Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented
by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this
change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that
backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them. This is
not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely
occur. In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of
corrupting the resulting index.
Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on
very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes
away. We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for
now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy
fix.

Presently, the server may emit a variety of log messages when inspecting
a runtime-computed GUC, mostly in the shape of one LOG message with the
default configuration, related to the startup sequence launched as such
GUCs require a load of the control file and of external shared
libraries.
For example, the server will always emit a "database system is shut
down" LOG (unless the user has set log_min_messages higher than LOG),
which is an annoying behavior as "postgres -C" is expected to only emit
in its output the parameter value we are looking for. The parameter
value is sent to stdout, while the logs are sent to stderr so we could
recommend to use a redirection, but there was not much love for this
workaround either.
To avoid such extra log messages, per discussion, this change sets
log_min_messages to FATAL internally when -C is used on a
runtime-computed GUC (even if set to PANIC in postgresql.conf). At
FATAL, the user will still receive messages explaining why a GUC value
cannot be inspected, and will know if the command is attempted on a
server already running, something not supported yet for a
runtime-computed GUC.

Several keywords were missing or misclassified in the original

accordingly.
This also fixes a mistake in 606948b058d: The keywords JSON_SCALAR and

Commit aa0105141 assigned fixed OIDs to template0 and postgres
in a very ad-hoc way. Notably, instead of teaching Catalog.pm
about these OIDs, the unused_oids script was just hacked to
not show them as unused. That's problematic since, for example,
duplicate_oids wouldn't report any future conflict. Hence,
invent a macro DECLARE_OID_DEFINING_MACRO() that can be used to
define an OID that is known to Catalog.pm and will participate
in duplicate-detection as well as renumbering by renumber_oids.pl.
(We don't anticipate renumbering these particular OIDs, but we
might as well build out all the Catalog.pm infrastructure while
we're here.)
Another issue is that aa0105141 neglected to touch IsPinnedObject,
with the result that it now claimed template0 and postgres are
pinned. The right thing to do there seems to be to teach it that
no database is pinned, since in fact DROP DATABASE doesn't check
for pinned-ness (and at least for these cases, that is an
intentional choice). It's not clear whether this wrong answer
had any visible effect, but perhaps it could have resulted in
erroneous management of dependency entries.
In passing, rename the TemplateDbOid macro to Template1DbOid
to reduce confusion (likely we should have done that way back
when we invented template0, but we didn't), and rename the
OID macros for template0 and postgres to have a similar style.
There are no changes to postgres.bki here, so no need for a

'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number
of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d
foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'. In v14,
as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0, we
instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named

db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using

Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains
more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's
exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.
That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just
