The grammar of this command run on indexes with column names has always
been authorized by the parser, and it has never been documented.
Since 911e702, it is possible to define opclass parameters as of CREATE
INDEX, which actually broke the old case of ALTER INDEX/TABLE where
relation-level parameters n_distinct and n_distinct_inherited could be
defined for an index (see 76a47c0 and its thread where this point has
been touched, still remained unused). Attempting to do that in v13~
would cause the index to become unusable, as there is a new dedicated
code path to load opclass parameters instead of the relation-level ones
previously available. Note that it is possible to fix things with a
manual catalog update to bring the relation back online.
This commit disables this command for now as the use of column names for
indexes does not make sense anyway, particularly when it comes to index
expressions where names are automatically computed. One way to properly
support this case properly in the future would be to use column numbers
when it comes to indexes, in the same way as ALTER INDEX .. ALTER COLUMN
.. SET STATISTICS.
Partitioned indexes were already blocked, but not indexes. Some tests
are added for both cases.
There was some code in ANALYZE to enforce n_distinct to be used for an
index expression if the parameter was defined, but just remove it for
now until/if there is support for this (note that index-level parameters
never had support in pg_dump either, previously), so this was just dead
code.

During a replication slot creation, an ERROR generated in the same
transaction as the one creating a to-be-exported snapshot would have
left the backend in an inconsistent state, as the associated static
export snapshot state was not being reset on transaction abort, but only
on the follow-up command received by the WAL sender that created this
snapshot on replication slot creation. This would trigger inconsistency
failures if this session tried to export again a snapshot, like during
the creation of a replication slot.
Note that a snapshot export cannot happen in a transaction block, so
there is no need to worry resetting this state for subtransaction
aborts. Also, this inconsistent state would very unlikely show up to
users. For example, one case where this could happen is an
out-of-memory error when building the initial snapshot to-be-exported.
Dilip found this problem while poking at a different patch, that caused
an error in this code path for reasons unrelated to HEAD.

It was clearly the intent to do so all along, but the original coding
fat-fingered this by checking the wrong array element. We fixed it
in passing in 403a3d91c, but that later got reverted, and we forgot
to keep this bug fix.
Most of the time this'd be relatively harmless, since once we lock
any of the partitioned table's leaf partitions, that would suffice
to prevent major DDL on the partitioned table itself. However, a
childless partitioned table would get dumped with no relevant lock
whatsoever, possibly allowing dump failure or inconsistent output.
Unlike 403a3d91c, there are no versioning concerns, since every server
version that has partitioned tables will allow you to lock one.

Avoid calling contrib/amcheck functions with relations that are
unsuitable for checking. Specifically, don't attempt verification of
temporary relations, or indexes whose pg_index entry indicates that the
index is invalid, or not ready.
These relations are not supported by any of the contrib/amcheck
functions, for reasons that are pretty fundamental. For example, the
implementation of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY can add its own "transient"
pg_index entries, which has rather unclear implications for the B-Tree
verification functions, at least in the general case -- so they just
treat it as an error. It falls to the amcheck caller (in this case
pg_amcheck) to deal with the situation at a higher level.
pg_amcheck now simply treats these conditions as additional "visibility
concerns" when it queries system catalogs. This is a little arbitrary.
It seems to have the least problems among any of the available
alternatives.

This fixes a set of issues that cause different breakages or annoyances
when using pg_upgrade's test.sh to do upgrades across different major
versions:
- test.sh is completely broken when using v14 as new version because of
the removal of testtablespace/ as Makefile rule. Older versions of
pg_regress don't support --make-tablespacedir, blocking the creation of
the tablespace. In order to fix that, it is simple enough to create
those directories in the script itself, but only do that when an old
version is involved. This fix is needed on HEAD and REL_14_STABLE.
- The script would fail when using PG <= v11 as old version because of
WITH OIDS relations not supported in v12. In order to fix this, this
steals a method from the buildfarm that uses a DO block to change all
the relations marked as WITH OIDS, allowing pg_upgrade to pass. This is
more portable than using ALTER TABLE queries on the relations causing
issues. This is fixed down to v12, and authored originally by Andrew
Dunstan.
- Not using --extra-float-digits=0 with v11 as old version causes
a lot of diffs in the dumps, making the whole unreadable. This gets
only done when using v11 as old version. This is fixed down to v12.
The buildfarm code uses that already.
Note that the addition of --wal-segsize and --allow-group-access breaks
the script when using v10 or older at initdb time as these got added in
11. 10 would be EOL'd next year and nobody has complained about those
problems yet, so nothing is done about that. This means that this
commit fixes upgrade tests using test.sh with v11 as minimum older
version, up to HEAD, and that it is enough to apply this change down to
12. The old and new dumps still generate diffs, still require manual
checks, and more could be done to reduce the noise, but this allows the
tests to run with a rather minimal amount of them.
I have tested this commit and test.sh with v11 as minimum across all the
branches where this is applied. Note that this commit has no impact on
the normal pg_upgrade test run with a simple "make check".

Have verify_heapam.c treat unlogged relations as if they were simply
empty when in Hot Standby mode. This brings it in line with
verify_nbtree.c, which has handled unlogged relations in the same way
since bugfix commit 6754fe65a4. This was an oversight in commit
866e24d47d, which extended contrib/amcheck to check heap relations.
In passing, lower the verbosity used when reporting that a relation has
been skipped like this, from NOTICE to DEBUG1. This is appropriate
because the skipping behavior is only an implementation detail, needed
to work around the fact that unlogged tables don't have smgr-level
storage for their main fork when in Hot Standby mode.
Affected unlogged relations should be considered "trivially verified",
not skipped over. They are verified in the same sense that a totally
empty relation can be verified. This behavior seems least surprising
overall, since unlogged relations on a replica will initially be empty
if and when the replica is promoted and Hot Standby ends.

This error was masked in most cases because explain.c uses just one

This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is
very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small.
Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the
result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was
capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be
as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as
1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383,
otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale
for the full-precision calculation.
Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial
low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision
calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation
is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8
significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is
very close to 1.

Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings

* Mapping "Greenwich Standard Time" to Atlantic/Reykjavik is actually
a better fit than using London, because Iceland hasn't observed DST
since 1968, so this is more nearly what people might expect.
* Since the "Samoa" zone is specified to be UTC+13:00, we must map
it to Pacific/Apia not Pacific/Samoa; the latter refers to American
Samoa which is now on the other side of the date line.
The rest of these changes look like they're choosing the most populous
IANA zone as representative. Whatever the details, we're just going

Some specific logic is done at the end of recovery when involving 2PC
transactions:
1) Call RecoverPreparedTransactions(), to recover the state of 2PC
transactions into memory (re-acquire locks, etc.).
2) ShutdownRecoveryTransactionEnvironment(), to move back to normal
operations, mainly cleaning up recovery locks and KnownAssignedXids
(including any 2PC transaction tracked previously).
3) Switch XLogCtl->SharedRecoveryState to RECOVERY_STATE_DONE, which is
the tipping point for any process calling RecoveryInProgress() to check
if the cluster is still in recovery or not.
Any snapshot taken between steps 2) and 3) would be empty, causing any
transaction relying on a snapshot at this point to potentially corrupt
data as there could still be some 2PC transactions to track, with
RecentXmin moving backwards on successive calls to GetSnapshotData() in
the same transaction.
As SharedRecoveryState is the point to take into account to know if it
is safe to discard KnownAssignedXids, this commit moves step 2) after
step 3), so as we can never finish with empty snapshots.

Prior to v14, we insisted that the query in RETURN QUERY be of a type
that returns tuples. (For instance, INSERT RETURNING was allowed,
but not plain INSERT.) That happened indirectly because we opened a
cursor for the query, so spi.c checked SPI_is_cursor_plan(). As a
consequence, the error message wasn't terribly on-point, but at least
it was there.
Commit 2f48ede08 lost this detail. Instead, plain RETURN QUERY
insisted that the query be a SELECT (by checking for SPI_OK_SELECT)
while RETURN QUERY EXECUTE failed to check the query type at all.
Neither of these changes was intended.
The only convenient place to check this in the EXECUTE case is inside
_SPI_execute_plan, because we haven't done parse analysis until then.
So we need to pass down a flag saying whether to enforce that the
query returns tuples. Fortunately, we can squeeze another boolean
into struct SPIExecuteOptions without an ABI break, since there's
padding space there. (It's unlikely that any extensions would
already be using this new struct, but preserving ABI in v14 seems
like a smart idea anyway.)
Within spi.c, it seemed like _SPI_execute_plan's parameter list
was already ridiculously long, and I didn't want to make it longer.
So I thought of passing SPIExecuteOptions down as-is, allowing that
parameter list to become much shorter. This makes the patch a bit
more invasive than it might otherwise be, but it's all internal to
spi.c, so that seems fine.

* Judgment calls:
(These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one)

more likely than Africa/Casablanca to be what people will think that
zone name means. CLDR has Atlantic/Reykjavik here, but that's no better.
Asia/Shanghai seems a better fit than Hong Kong for "China Standard
Time".
Europe/Sarajevo is now a link to Belgrade, ie "Central Europe Standard
Time"; so use Warsaw for "Central European Standard Time".
America/Sao_Paulo seems more representative than Araguaina for
"E. South America Standard Time".
Africa/Johannesburg seems more representative than Harare for
"South Africa Standard Time".

"Kaliningrad Standard Time"
"Russia Time Zone N" for various N
"Singapore Standard Time"
"South Sudan Standard Time"
"W. Central Africa Standard Time"
"West Bank Standard Time"
"Yukon Standard Time"
Some of these replace older spellings, but I kept the older spellings

get_variable_range() would incautiously believe that statistics
containing only an MCV list are sufficient to derive a range estimate.
That's okay for an enum-like column that contains only MCVs, but

range is indeterminate unless the MCVs plus nullfrac account for
the whole table.

Commit 84f5c2908 forgot to consider the possibility that
EnsurePortalSnapshotExists could run inside a subtransaction with
lifespan shorter than the Portal's. In that case, the new active
snapshot would be popped at the end of the subtransaction, leaving
a dangling pointer in the Portal, with mayhem ensuing.
To fix, make sure the ActiveSnapshot stack entry is marked with
the same subtransaction nesting level as the associated Portal.
It's certainly safe to do so since we won't be here at all unless
the stack is empty; hence we can't create an out-of-order stack.
Let's also apply this logic in the case where PortalRunUtility
sets portalSnapshot, just to be sure that path can't cause similar
problems. It's slightly less clear that that path can't create
an out-of-order stack, so add an assertion guarding it.

(added by PostgresNode->set_replication_conf, called internally by
->init() when 'allows_streaming=>1' is given -- but I purposefully
omitted that). I think a good fix should be to have nodes with only
'has_archiving=>1' set up for replication too, but that's a bigger
discussion. Fix it by calling ->set_replication_conf, which is not
unprecedented, as pointed out by Andrew Dunstan.
I also forgot to uncomment a ->finish() call for a pumpable IPC::Run
file descriptor. Apparently this is innocuous in almost all platforms.
Backpatch to 14. The older branches were added this file too, but not
this particular part of the test.

Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once
they are complete. This is a problem if one WAL record is split across
a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down
the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after
crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record
started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have
already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding.
This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter
crashes:
LOG: invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/D9FFFBC8
because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record
(contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and
it will never be. A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL
file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from
the primary. But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users
would just give up and re-clone the standby instead.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit 515e3d84a0, but
it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so
streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things
such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after
having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it
had to be reverted.
This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres
Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are
kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord
was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken
parts. With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment
files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records
will proceed across the crash point without a hitch.
Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to
upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby
being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record.
A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it
is yet to be seen.
This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so
backpatch all the way back. In stable branches, keep the new
XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI
break.

Previously socket errors such as invalid socket or socket wait method failures
during benchmark caused pgbench to exit with status 0. Instead, errors during
the run should result in exit status 2.
Back-patch to v12 where pgbench started reporting exit status.
Original complaint and patch by Hayato Kuroda.

The failure of socket wait method like "select()" doesn't terminate pgbench.
So the log level of error message when that failure happens should be ERROR.
But previously FATAL was used in that case.
Back-patch to v13 where pgbench started using common logging API.

The code inconsistently used "statistic object" or "statistics" where
the correct term, as discussed, is actually "statistics object". This
improves the state of the code to be more consistent.
While on it, fix an incorrect error message introduced in a4d75c8. This
error should never happen, as the code states, but it would be
misleading.

Backpatch-through: 14
It turns out that the instability complained of in commit d3c09b9b1
has an embarrassingly simple explanation. The test script waits for
the standby to flush incoming WAL to disk, but it should wait for
the WAL to be replayed, since we are testing for the effects of that
to be visible.
While at it, use wait_for_catchup instead of reinventing that logic,
and adjust $Test::Builder::Level to improve future error reports.
Back-patch to v12 where the necessary infrastructure came in
(cf. aforesaid commit). Also back-patch 7d1aa6bf1 so that the
test will actually get run.
