REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview
containing a column of a type without a default btree operator
class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non-
concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type
which allowed user-visible differences between values which
compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass.
Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators
to solve these problems.
Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the
default btree operator class for record, and the newly added
operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both
for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext
column.

With the PGXS boilerplate in place, pg_xlogdump currently fails with an

This should have been done when the json functionality was added to
hstore in 9.3.0. To handle this correctly, the upgrade script therefore
uses conditional logic by using plpgsql in a DO statement to add the two
new functions and the new cast. If hstore_to_json_loose is detected as
already present and dependent on the hstore extension nothing is done.
This will require that the database be loaded with plpgsql.
People who have installed the earlier and spurious 1.1 version of hstore
will need to do:
ALTER EXTENSION hstore UPDATE;
to pick up the new functions properly.

Using the infrastructure provided by this patch, it's possible either
to wait for the startup of a dynamically-registered background worker,
or to poll the status of such a worker without waiting. In either
case, the current PID of the worker process can also be obtained.
As usual, worker_spi is updated to demonstrate the new functionality.
Patch by me. Review by Andres Freund.
The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a
PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var
coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous
report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way
in commit 4da6439bd8, but Antonin Houska
pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned
up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more
thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's
ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it
contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but
rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join
relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that.
Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars
properly.
In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses
into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need
to deal with it.
This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by
Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the
wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be
fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately
seems reasonable.
These modules used the YYPARSE_PARAM macro, which has been deprecated
by the bison folk since 1.875, and which they finally removed in 3.0.
Adjust the code to use the replacement facility, %parse-param, which
is a much better solution anyway since it allows specification of the
type of the extra parser parameter. We can thus get rid of a lot of
unsightly casting.

Tuples belonging to uncommitted transactions should not be

This is arguably a bug fix that should be back-patched, but
as no one ever noticed until it came time to try to get rid
of SnapshotNow, I'm only doing this in master for now.
Since pg_upgrade -j on Windows uses threads, calling umask()
before/after opening a file via fopen_priv() is no longer possible, so
set umask() as we enter the thread-creating loop, and reset it on exit.
Also adjust internal fopen_priv() calls to just use fopen().

This controls the target transaction rate to certain tps, rather than
maximum. Patch contributed by Fabien COELHO, reviewed by Greg Smith,
and slight editing by me.
Per discussion, it's desirable to eliminate all remaining uses of
SnapshotNow, because it has unpleasant semantics: race conditions
can result in seeing multiple versions of a concurrently updated
row, or none at all. By using GetActiveSnapshot() here, callers
will see exactly those rows that would have been visible if the
invoking query had scanned the table using, for example, a SELECT
statement.
This is slightly different from the old behavior, because commits
that happen concurrently with the scan will not affect the results.
In REPEATABLE READ or SERIALIZABLE modes, where transaction
snapshots are used, commits that have happened since the start of
the transaction will also not affect the results. It is hoped
that this minor incompatibility will be thought an improvement,
or at least no worse than what we did before.
Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, these aren't really needed. Interim
versions of the background worker patch had the worker starting with
signals already unblocked, which would have made this necessary.
But the final version does not, so we don't really need it; and it
doesn't work well with the new facility for starting dynamic background
workers, so just rip it out.
Also per discussion on pgsql-hackers, back-patch this change to 9.3.
It's best to get the API break out of the way before we do an
official release of this facility, to avoid more pain for extension
authors later.
Previously, these functions took a HeapTupleHeader, but upcoming
patches for logical replication will introduce new a new snapshot
type under which the tuple's TID will be used to lookup (CMIN, CMAX)
for visibility determination purposes. This makes that information
available. Code churn is minimal since HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility
took the HeapTuple anyway, and deferenced it before calling the
satisfies function.
Independently of logical replication, this allows t_tableOid and
t_self to be cross-checked via assertions in tqual.c. This seems
like a useful way to make sure that all callers are setting these
values properly, which has been previously put forward as
desirable.

This allows us to specify the target relation with several expressions,
'relname', 'schemaname.relname' and OID in all pgstattuple functions.
pgstatindex() and pg_relpages() could not accept OID as the argument
so far.
Per discussion on -hackers, we decided to keep two types of interfaces,
with regclass-type and TEXT-type argument, for each pgstattuple
function because of the backward-compatibility issue. The functions
which have TEXT-type argument will be deprecated in the future release.

There is a new API, RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker, which allows
an ordinary user backend to register a new background writer during
normal running. This means that it's no longer necessary for all
background workers to be registered during processing of
shared_preload_libraries, although the option of registering workers
at that time remains available.
When a background worker exits and will not be restarted, the
slot previously used by that background worker is automatically
released and becomes available for reuse. Slots used by background
workers that are configured for automatic restart can't (yet) be
released without shutting down the system.
This commit adds a new source file, bgworker.c, and moves some
of the existing control logic for background workers there.
Previously, there was little enough logic that it made sense to
keep everything in postmaster.c, but not any more.
This commit also makes the worker_spi contrib module into an
extension and adds a new function, worker_spi_launch, which can
be used to demonstrate the new facility.
This prevents the client from gobbling up too much memory when the

On the command line, GUC option strings are handled by the guc parser,
not by the shell parser, so '' is the proper way to represent a
zero-length string. This reverts commit
3132a9b7ab.
SnapshotNow scans have the undesirable property that, in the face of
concurrent updates, the scan can fail to see either the old or the new
versions of the row. In many cases, we work around this by requiring
DDL operations to hold AccessExclusiveLock on the object being
modified; in some cases, the existing locking is inadequate and random
failures occur as a result. This commit doesn't change anything
related to locking, but will hopefully pave the way to allowing lock
strength reductions in the future.
The major issue has held us back from making this change in the past
is that taking an MVCC snapshot is significantly more expensive than
using a static special snapshot such as SnapshotNow. However, testing
of various worst-case scenarios reveals that this problem is not
severe except under fairly extreme workloads. To mitigate those
problems, we avoid retaking the MVCC snapshot for each new scan;
instead, we take a new snapshot only when invalidation messages have
been processed. The catcache machinery already requires that
invalidation messages be sent before releasing the related heavyweight
lock; else other backends might rely on locally-cached data rather
than scanning the catalog at all. Thus, making snapshot reuse
dependent on the same guarantees shouldn't break anything that wasn't
already subtly broken.

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
Extend the FDW API (which we already changed for 9.3) so that an FDW can
report whether specific foreign tables are insertable/updatable/deletable.
The default assumption continues to be that they're updatable if the
relevant executor callback function is supplied by the FDW, but finer
granularity is now possible. As a test case, add an "updatable" option to
contrib/postgres_fdw.
This patch also fixes the information_schema views, which previously did
not think that foreign tables were ever updatable, and fixes
view_is_auto_updatable() so that a view on a foreign table can be
auto-updatable.
initdb forced due to changes in information_schema views and the functions
they rely on. This is a bit unfortunate to do post-beta1, but if we don't
change this now then we'll have another API break for FDWs when we do
change it.
Dean Rasheed, somewhat editorialized on by Tom Lane
Autovacuum occurring while the test runs could allow some of the inserts to
go into recycled space, thus changing the output ordering of later queries.
While we could complicate those queries to force sorting of their output
rows, it doesn't seem like that would make the test better in any
meaningful way, and conceivably it could hide unexpected diffs. Instead,
tweak the affected queries so that the inserted rows aren't updated by the
following UPDATE. Per buildfarm.
Make slightly better decisions about indentation than what pgindent

No functional changes- all whitespace.
pgindent ran cleanly (didn't change anything) after.
Passes all regressions.
The behavior is that the required sequence is created locally, which is
appropriate because the default expression will be evaluated locally.
Per gripe from Brad Nicholson that this case was refused with a confusing
error message. We could have improved the error message but it seems
better to just allow the case.
Also, remove ALTER TABLE's arbitrary prohibition against being applied to
foreign tables, which was pretty inconsistent considering we allow it for
views, sequences, and other relation types that aren't even called tables.
This is needed to avoid breaking pg_dump, which sometimes emits column
defaults using separate ALTER TABLE commands. (I think this can happen
even when the default is not associated with a sequence, so that was a
pre-existing bug once we allowed column defaults for foreign tables.)
Previously, the port number used in this test script was hard-wired at
pg_upgrade's default of 50432; which is not so great because parallel build
runs might conflict. Commit 3d53173e20
removed this setting for the postmasters started by the script proper
(not by pg_upgrade), which didn't do anything to fix that problem and also
guaranteed a failure if there was a live postmaster at the build's default
port number. Instead, select a non-conflicting temporary port number in
the same way that pg_regress.c does. (Its method isn't entirely
bulletproof, but given the lack of complaints I'm not going to worry
about that today.)
In passing, unset MAKEFLAGS and MAKELEVEL to avoid problems with the
script's internal invocations of make, for the same reason pg_regress.c
does: it could cause problems in a parallel make.
This helps guard against changes in the set of reserved keywords from
one version to another. In theory it should only be an issue if we
de-reserve a keyword in a newer release, since that can create the type
of problem shown in bug #8128.
Back-patch to 9.1 where the --quote-all-identifiers option was added.
This code was left over from when pg_upgrade paid attention to PGPORT.
Now it would only affects the regression test run before the test run of
pg_upgrade. You can still set PGPORT for that, but there is no reason
to have the test driver default it to 50432.
Choose a saner ordering of parameters (adding a new input param after
the output params seemed a bit random), update the function's header
comment to match reality (cmon folks, is this really that hard?),
get rid of useless and sloppily-defined distinction between
PROCESS_UTILITY_SUBCOMMAND and PROCESS_UTILITY_GENERATED.
The initial coding just descended the index if any of the target trigrams
were possibly present at the next level down. But actually we can apply
trigramsMatchGraph() so as to take advantage of AND requirements when there
are some. The input data might contain false positive matches, but that
can only result in a false positive result, not false negative, so it's
safe to do it this way.

This changes the behavior of the start and stop actions to exit
successfully if the server was already started or stopped.
This changes the default behavior of the start action: Before, if the
server was already running, it would print a message and succeed. Now,
that situation will result in an error. When running in idempotent
mode, no message is printed and pg_ctl exits successfully.
It was considered to just make the idempotent behavior the default and
only option, but pg_upgrade needs the old behavior.
This wasn't addressed in the original patch, but it doesn't take very
much additional code to cover the case, so let's get it done.
Since pg_trgm 1.1 hasn't been released yet, I just changed the definition

Make use of some GUC variables, and add SIGHUP handling to reload
the config file. Patch submitted by Guillaume Lelarge.
Also, report to pg_stat_activity. Per report from Marc Cousin, add
setting of statement start time.
This works by extracting trigrams from the given regular expression,
in generally the same spirit as the previously-existing support for
LIKE searches, though of course the details are far more complicated.
Currently, only GIN indexes are supported. We might be able to make
it work with GiST indexes later.
The implementation includes adding API functions to backend/regex/
to provide a view of the search NFA created from a regular expression.
These functions are meant to be generic enough to be supportable in
a standalone version of the regex library, should that ever happen.

contrib/pg_trgm's make_trigrams() was coded to ignore multibyte character
boundaries and just make trigrams from bytes if USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER wasn't
defined. This is a bit odd, since there's no obvious reason why trigram
compaction rules should depend on the presence of towlower() and friends.
What's more, there was an Assert() that would fail if that code path was
fed any multibyte characters.
We need to do something about this since the pending regex-indexing patch
has an assumption that you get just one "trgm" from any three characters.
The best solution seems to be to remove the USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER
dependency, which shouldn't really have been there in the first place.
The second loop in make_trigrams() is now just a fast path and not a
potentially incompatible algorithm.
If there is anybody still using Postgres on machines without wcstombs() or
towlower(), and they have non-ASCII data indexed by pg_trgm, they'll need
to REINDEX those indexes after pg_upgrade to 9.3, else searches may fail
incorrectly. It seems likely that there are no such installations, though.
In passing, rename cnt_trigram to compact_trigram, which seems to better
describe its functionality, and improve make_trigrams' test for whether it
has to use the slow path or not (per a suggestion from Alexander Korotkov).
Now that pg_dump no longer dumps invalid indexes, per commit
683abc73df, have pg_upgrade also skip
them. Previously pg_upgrade threw an error if invalid indexes existed.
Backpatch to 9.2, 9.1, and 9.0 (where pg_upgrade was added to git)
Windows sometimes gets upset if we rename a large directory and then try
to use the old name quickly, as seen in occasional buildfarm failures.
So we avoid that by building the old version in the intended
destination in the first place instead of renaming it, similar to the
change made for the same reason in commit b7f8465c.
The main change here is to call security_compute_create_name_raw()
rather than security_compute_create_raw(). This ups the minimum
requirement for libselinux from 2.0.99 to 2.1.10, but it looks
like most distributions will have picked that up before 9.3 is out.
