guc.c has grown to be one of our largest .c files, making it
a bottleneck for compilation. It's also acquired a bunch of
knowledge that'd be better kept elsewhere, because of our not
very good habit of putting variable-specific check hooks here.
Hence, split it up along these lines:
* guc.c itself retains just the core GUC housekeeping mechanisms.
* New file guc_funcs.c contains the SET/SHOW interfaces and some
SQL-accessible functions for GUC manipulation.
* New file guc_tables.c contains the data arrays that define the
built-in GUC variables, along with some already-exported constant
tables.
* GUC check/assign/show hook functions are moved to the variable's
home module, whenever that's clearly identifiable. A few hard-
to-classify hooks ended up in commands/variable.c, which was
already a home for miscellaneous GUC hook functions.
To avoid cluttering a lot more header files with #include "guc.h",
I also invented a new header file utils/guc_hooks.h and put all
the GUC hook functions' declarations there, regardless of their
originating module. That allowed removal of #include "guc.h"
from some existing headers. The fallout from that (hopefully
all caught here) demonstrates clearly why such inclusions are
best minimized: there are a lot of files that, for example,
were getting array.h at two or more levels of remove, despite
not having any connection at all to GUCs in themselves.
There is some very minor code beautification here, such as
renaming a couple of inconsistently-named hook functions
and improving some comments. But mostly this just moves
code from point A to point B and deals with the ensuing
needs for #include adjustments and exporting a few functions
that previously weren't exported.
Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund; thanks also
to Michael Paquier for the idea to invent guc_funcs.c.

Commit c4c340088 changed geometric operators to use float4 and float8

Previously, membership of role A in role B could be recorded in the
catalog tables only once. This meant that a new grant of role A to
role B would overwrite the previous grant. For other object types, a
new grant of permission on an object - in this case role A - exists
along side the existing grant provided that the grantor is different.
Either grant can be revoked independently of the other, and
permissions remain so long as at least one grant remains. Make role
grants work similarly.
Previously, when granting membership in a role, the superuser could
specify any role whatsoever as the grantor, but for other object types,
the grantor of record must be either the owner of the object, or a
role that currently has privileges to perform a similar GRANT.
Implement the same scheme for role grants, treating the bootstrap
superuser as the role owner since roles do not have owners. This means
that attempting to revoke a grant, or admin option on a grant, can now
fail if there are dependent privileges, and that CASCADE can be used
to revoke these. It also means that you can't grant ADMIN OPTION on
a role back to a user who granted it directly or indirectly to you,
similar to how you can't give WITH GRANT OPTION on a privilege back
to a role which granted it directly or indirectly to you.
Previously, only the superuser could specify GRANTED BY with a user
other than the current user. Relax that rule to allow the grantor
to be any role whose privileges the current user posseses. This
doesn't improve compatibility with what we do for other object types,
where support for GRANTED BY is entirely vestigial, but it makes this
feature more usable and seems to make sense to change at the same time
we're changing related behaviors.
Along the way, fix "ALTER GROUP group_name ADD USER user_name" to
require the same privileges as "GRANT group_name TO user_name".
Previously, CREATEROLE privileges were sufficient for either, but
only the former form was permissible with ADMIN OPTION on the role.
Now, either CREATEROLE or ADMIN OPTION on the role suffices for
either spelling.

Compiling with -Wshadow=compatible-local yields quite a few warnings about
local variables being shadowed by compatible local variables in an inner
scope. Of course, this is perfectly valid in C, but we have had bugs in
the past as a result of developers failing to notice this. af7d270dd is a
recent example.
Here we do a cleanup of warnings we receive from -Wshadow=compatible-local
for code which is new to PostgreSQL 15. We've yet to have the discussion
about if we actually ever want to run that as a standard compilation flag.
We'll need to at least get the number of warnings down to something easier
to manage before we can realistically consider if we want this or not.
This commit is the first step towards reducing the warnings.
The changes being made here are all fairly trivial. Because of that, and
the fact that v15 is still in beta, this is being back-patched into 15.

The standard way to check for list emptiness is to compare the
List pointer to NIL; our list code goes out of its way to ensure
that that is the only representation of an empty list. (An
acceptable alternative is a plain boolean test for non-null
pointer, but explicit mention of NIL is usually preferable.)
Various places didn't get that memo and expressed the condition
with list_length(), which might not be so bad except that there
were such a variety of ways to check it exactly: equal to zero,
less than or equal to zero, less than one, yadda yadda. In the
name of code readability, let's standardize all those spellings
as "list == NIL" or "list != NIL". (There's probably some
microscopic efficiency gain too, though few of these look to be
at all performance-critical.)
A very small number of cases were left as-is because they seemed
more consistent with other adjacent list_length tests that way.

When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object,
varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt
memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc().
The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out
from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping
on whatever gets allocated in that memory later.
In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations
(cf. 3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations.
I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction
of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just
uses one context for the duration of the sort.
We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert
match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems
like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the
pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically
preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles
because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing
coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer
enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's
far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since
these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting
last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination,
but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't
get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings.
Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is
reachable in the older branches, this code has been broken on its
own terms from its introduction, so patch all the way back.

Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and
unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for
Windows in a few places. That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or
S_ISLNK, which we can now constant-fold.
The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we
never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously
reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS. The
lstat()-based code has handling for that.
This also reverts 4fc6b6ee on master only. That was done because
lstat() didn't previously work for symlinks (junction points), but now

symlink() and readlink() are in SUSv2 and all targeted Unix systems have
them. We have partial emulation on Windows. Code that raised runtime
errors on systems without it has been dead for years, so we can remove
that and also references to such systems in the documentation.
Define HAVE_READLINK and HAVE_SYMLINK macros on Unix. Our Windows
replacement functions based on junction points can't be used for
relative paths or for non-directories, so the macros can be used to
check for full symlink support. The places that deal with tablespaces
can just use symlink functions without checking the macros. (If they
did check the macros, they'd need to provide an #else branch with a
runtime or compile time error, and it'd be dead code.)

Previously, a byte with the high bit set was just transmitted
as-is by charin() and charout(). This is problematic if the
database encoding is multibyte, because the result of charout()
won't be validly encoded, which breaks various stuff that
expects all text strings to be validly encoded. We've
previously decided to enforce encoding validity rather than try
to individually harden each place that might have a problem with
such strings, so it's time to do something about "char".
To fix, represent high-bit-set characters as \ooo (backslash
and three octal digits), following the ancient "escape" format
for bytea. charin() will continue to accept the old way as well,
though that is only reachable in single-byte encodings.
Add some test cases just so there is coverage for this code.

instead of IdentFileName (default pg_ident.conf) as the parent file to
use as reference when parsing the contents of pg_ident.conf, with
pg_ident.conf correctly opened, when feeding this information to

- On an I/O error when reading pg_ident.conf, the user would get an
ERROR message referring to pg_hba.conf and not pg_ident.conf.
- When reading an external file with a relative path using '@' in
pg_ident.conf, the directory used to look at the file to load would be
the base directory of pg_hba.conf rather than the one of pg_ident.conf,
leading to errors in pg_ident_file_mappings inconsistent with what gets
loaded at startup when pg_ident.conf and pg_hba.conf are located in

The dependency logic failed to register a column-level dependency
when a view or rule contains a reference to a specific column of
the result of a function-returning-composite. That meant you could
drop the column from the composite type, causing trouble for future
executions of the view. We've known about this for years, but never
summoned the energy to actually fix it, instead installing various
low-level defenses to prevent crashing on references to dropped columns.
We had to do that to plug the hole in stable branches, where there might
be pre-existing broken references; but let's fix the root cause today.
To do that, add some logic (borrowed from get_rte_attribute_is_dropped)
to find_expr_references_walker, to check whether a Var referencing an
RTE_FUNCTION RTE is referencing a column of a composite type, and if
so add the proper dependency.
However ... it seems mighty unwise to remove said low-level defenses,
since there could be other bugs now or in the future that allow
reaching them. By the same token, letting those defenses go untested
seems unwise. Hence, rather than just dropping the associated test
cases, hack them to continue working by the expedient of manually
dropping the pg_depend entries that this fix installs.
Back-patch into v15. I don't want to risk changing this behavior
in stable branches, but it seems not too late for v15. (Since
we have already forced initdb for beta3, we can be sure that all
production v15 installations will have these added dependencies.)
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/182492.1658431155@sss.pgh.pa.us
Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's
possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored
queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM
that return the composite type. There are "soft" references,
namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references,
that is actual Vars referring to them. The right fix for hard
references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something
we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't
address it). A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though.
We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddce9, 2c4debbd0), but
nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload
failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the
underlying composite type now has. So we need to rejigger the
column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not
print aliases for them.
Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already
knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped.
I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but
that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of
RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs. So this patch just uses it
for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way.
If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias
causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name
to print. Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up
name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead.

Justin Pryzby reported that some scenarios could cause gathering
of extended statistics to spend many seconds in an un-cancelable
qsort() operation. To fix, invent qsort_interruptible(), which is
just like qsort_arg() except that it will also do CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
every so often. This bloats the backend by a couple of kB, which
seems like a good investment. (We considered just enabling
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the existing qsort and qsort_arg functions,
but there are some callers for which that'd demonstrably be unsafe.
Opt-in seems like a better way.)
For now, just apply qsort_interruptible() in statistics collection.
There's probably more places where it could be useful, but we can
always change other call sites as we find problems.
Back-patch to v14. Before that we didn't have extended stats on
expressions, so that the problem was less severe. Also, this patch
depends on the sort_template infrastructure introduced in v14.

This commit bumps the runtime value of _WIN32_WINNT to be 0x0A00 for any
builds on Windows. Hence, this makes Windows 10 the minimal requirement
when running PostgreSQL under WIN32, be it for builds of Cygwin, MinGW
or Visual Studio.
The previous minimal runtime version was either Windows Vista when
building with at least Visual Studio 2015 or Windows XP for the rest.
Windows 10 is the most modern version supported by Microsoft, and per
discussion, as we don't have buildfarm members that run older versions
anymore, this is the minimal supported version that suits better for our
needs. This will actually make easier the development of some patches,
two being async I/O and large page handling by avoiding a lot of
compatibility gotchas, on platforms that have most likely few users
anyway.
It is possible to remove MIN_WINNT in win32.h and the macros
IsWindowsXXXOrGreater() that were used in the code at runtime to check
which version of Windows was getting used. The change in pg_locale.c
comes from Juan. Note that all my tests passed, and that the CI is
green. The buildfarm will quickly tell if this needs more adjustments.

We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the
integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation
within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination;
or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or
occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation
based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is
confusing.
Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the
single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're
talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files
on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as
a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage".
Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about
pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other
SQL-facing things that derive their name from it.
On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For
example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be
derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode,
so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with
names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to
how they're being used in context.
Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for
future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its
current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now
declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these
are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the
single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be
committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first
marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others
until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an
error:
ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated
or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous
UPDATE on the same row was made visible.
The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it
much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that
window.
Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such
a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache.
Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction,
it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG
and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to
explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a
lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is
overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and
CLOG checks.
This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race
condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous
replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from
summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then.
TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it,
but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions.
Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress().
Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before
the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that
this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the
bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed.

ruleutils.c was coded to suppress the AS label for a SELECT output
expression if the column name is "?column?", which is the parser's
fallback if it can't think of something better. This is fine, and
avoids ugly clutter, so long as (1) nothing further up in the parse
tree relies on that column name or (2) the same fallback would be
assigned when the rule or view definition is reloaded. Unfortunately
(2) is far from certain, both because ruleutils.c might print the
expression in a different form from how it was originally written
and because FigureColname's rules might change in future releases.
So we shouldn't rely on that.
Detecting exactly whether there is any outer-level use of a SELECT
column name would be rather expensive. This patch takes the simpler
approach of just passing down a flag indicating whether there *could*
be any outer use; for example, the output column names of a SubLink
are not referenceable, and we also do not care about the names exposed
by the right-hand side of a setop. This is sufficient to suppress
unwanted clutter in all but one case in the regression tests. That
seems like reasonable evidence that it won't be too much in users'
faces, while still fixing the cases we need to fix.

Along the way, I noticed that the adjacent field "format" was not being

copyfuncs.c erroneously treated it as a scalar, while equalfuncs,
outfuncs, and readfuncs omitted handling it at all. This looks like
it might be cosmetic at the moment because the field is always NULL
after parse analysis; but that's likely a bug in itself, and the code's
certainly not very future-proof. Let's fix it while we can still do so
without forcing an initdb on beta testers.

697492434 added 3 new quicksort specialization functions for common

That commit was not very consistent in how it would determine if we're
compiling for 32-bit or 64-bit machines. It would sometimes use
USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL and at other times check if SIZEOF_DATUM == 8. This
could cause theoretical problems due to the way USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL is now
defined based on SIZEOF_VOID_P >= 8. If pointers for some reason were
ever larger than 8-bytes then we'd end up doing 32-bit comparisons
mistakenly. Let's just always check SIZEOF_DATUM >= 8.
It also seems that ssup_datum_signed_cmp is just never used on 32-bit
builds, so let's just ifdef that out to make sure we never accidentally
use that comparison function on such machines. This also allows us to
ifdef out 1 of the 3 new specialization quicksort functions in 32-bit
builds which seems to shrink down the binary by over 4KB on my machine.
In passing, also add the missing DatumGetInt32() / DatumGetInt64() macros

Window functions such as row_number() always return a value higher than
the previously returned value for tuples in any given window partition.
Traditionally queries such as;
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT *, row_number() over (order by c) rn
FROM t
) t WHERE rn <= 10;
were executed fairly inefficiently. Neither the query planner nor the
executor knew that once rn made it to 11 that nothing further would match
the outer query's WHERE clause. It would blindly continue until all
tuples were exhausted from the subquery.
Here we implement means to make the above execute more efficiently.
This is done by way of adding a pg_proc.prosupport function to various of
the built-in window functions and adding supporting code to allow the
support function to inform the planner if the window function is
monotonically increasing, monotonically decreasing, both or neither. The
planner is then able to make use of that information and possibly allow
the executor to short-circuit execution by way of adding a "run condition"
to the WindowAgg to allow it to determine if some of its execution work
can be skipped.
This "run condition" is not like a normal filter. These run conditions
are only built using quals comparing values to monotonic window functions.
For monotonic increasing functions, quals making use of the btree
operators for <, <= and = can be used (assuming the window function column
is on the left). You can see here that once such a condition becomes false
that a monotonic increasing function could never make it subsequently true
again. For monotonically decreasing functions the >, >= and = btree
operators for the given type can be used for run conditions.
The best-case situation for this is when there is a single WindowAgg node
without a PARTITION BY clause. Here when the run condition becomes false
the WindowAgg node can simply return NULL. No more tuples will ever match
the run condition. It's a little more complex when there is a PARTITION
BY clause. In this case, we cannot return NULL as we must still process
other partitions. To speed this case up we pull tuples from the outer
plan to check if they're from the same partition and simply discard them
if they are. When we find a tuple belonging to another partition we start
processing as normal again until the run condition becomes false or we run
out of tuples to process.
When there are multiple WindowAgg nodes to evaluate then this complicates
the situation. For intermediate WindowAggs we must ensure we always
return all tuples to the calling node. Any filtering done could lead to
incorrect results in WindowAgg nodes above. For all intermediate nodes,
we can still save some work when the run condition becomes false. We've
no need to evaluate the WindowFuncs anymore. Other WindowAgg nodes cannot
reference the value of these and these tuples will not appear in the final
result anyway. The savings here are small in comparison to what can be
saved in the top-level WingowAgg, but still worthwhile.
Intermediate WindowAgg nodes never filter out tuples, but here we change
WindowAgg so that the top-level WindowAgg filters out tuples that don't
match the intermediate WindowAgg node's run condition. Such filters
appear in the "Filter" clause in EXPLAIN for the top-level WindowAgg node.
Here we add prosupport functions to allow the above to work for;
row_number(), rank(), dense_rank(), count(*) and count(expr). It appears
technically possible to do the same for min() and max(), however, it seems
unlikely to be useful enough, so that's not done here.

Previously the statistics collector received statistics updates via UDP and
shared statistics data by writing them out to temporary files regularly. These
files can reach tens of megabytes and are written out up to twice a
second. This has repeatedly prevented us from adding additional useful
statistics.
Now statistics are stored in shared memory. Statistics for variable-numbered
objects are stored in a dshash hashtable (backed by dynamic shared
memory). Fixed-numbered stats are stored in plain shared memory.
The header for pgstat.c contains an overview of the architecture.
The stats collector is not needed anymore, remove it.
By utilizing the transactional statistics drop infrastructure introduced in a
prior commit statistics entries cannot "leak" anymore. Previously leaked
statistics were dropped by pgstat_vacuum_stat(), called from [auto-]vacuum. On
systems with many small relations pgstat_vacuum_stat() could be quite
expensive.
Now that replicas drop statistics entries for dropped objects, it is not
necessary anymore to reset stats when starting from a cleanly shut down
replica.
Subsequent commits will perform some further code cleanup, adapt docs and add

Most of pgstat uses pgstat_<verb>_<subject>() or just <verb>_<subject>(). But

intentionally following a different scheme (e.g. AtEOXact_*).
With the introduction of PgStat_Kind PgStat_Single_Reset_Type,
PgStat_Shared_Reset_Target don't make sense anymore. Replace them with
PgStat_Kind.
Instead of having dedicated reset functions for different kinds of stats, use
two generic helper routines (one to reset all stats of a kind, one to reset
one stats entry).
A number of reset functions were named pgstat_reset_*_counter(), despite
affecting multiple counters. The generic helper routines get rid of
pgstat_reset_single_counter(), pgstat_reset_subscription_counter().
Rename pgstat_reset_slru_counter(), pgstat_reset_replslot_counter() to
pgstat_reset_slru(), pgstat_reset_replslot() respectively, and have them only
deal with a single SLRU/slot. Resetting all SLRUs/slots goes through the
generic pgstat_reset_of_kind().
Previously pg_stat_reset_replication_slot() used SearchNamedReplicationSlot()
to check if a slot exists. API wise it seems better to move that to
pgstat_replslot.c.

This patch allows "PGC_SUSET" parameters to be set by non-superusers
if they have been explicitly granted the privilege to do so.
The privilege to perform ALTER SYSTEM SET/RESET on a specific parameter
can also be granted.
Such privileges are cluster-wide, not per database. They are tracked
in a new shared catalog, pg_parameter_acl.
Granting and revoking these new privileges works as one would expect.
One caveat is that PGC_USERSET GUCs are unaffected by the SET privilege
--- one could wish that those were handled by a revocable grant to
PUBLIC, but they are not, because we couldn't make it robust enough
for GUCs defined by extensions.

These clauses allow the user to specify how data from nested paths are
joined, allowing considerable freedom in shaping the tabular output of
JSON_TABLE.
PLAN DEFAULT allows the user to specify the global strategies when
dealing with sibling or child nested paths. The is often sufficient to
achieve the necessary goal, and is considerably simpler than the full
PLAN clause, which allows the user to specify the strategy to be used
for each named nested path.

This feature allows jsonb data to be treated as a table and thus used in
a FROM clause like other tabular data. Data can be selected from the
jsonb using jsonpath expressions, and hoisted out of nested structures
in the jsonb to form multiple rows, more or less like an outer join.

This replaces the bool flag for randomAccess. An upcoming patch requires
adding another option, so instead of breaking the API for that, then
breaking it again one day if we add more options, let's just break it
once. Any boolean options we add in the future will just make use of an
unused bit in the flags.
Any extensions making use of tuplesorts will need to update their code
to pass TUPLESORT_RANDOMACCESS instead of true for randomAccess.
TUPLESORT_NONE can be used for a set of empty options.

datetime.c's parsing logic has assumed that strtod() will accept
a string that looks like ".", which it does in glibc, but not on
some less-common platforms such as AIX. The result of this was
that datetime fields like "123." would be accepted on some platforms
but not others; which is a sufficiently odd case that it's not that
surprising we've heard no field complaints. But commit e39f99046
extended that assumption to new places, and happened to add a test
case that exposed the platform dependency. Remove this dependency
by special-casing situations without any digits after the decimal
point.
(Again, this is in part a pre-existing bug but I don't feel a
compulsion to back-patch.)
Also, rearrange e39f99046's changes in formatting.c to avoid a
Coverity complaint that we were copying an uninitialized field.

DecodeInterval (interval input) was careless about integer-overflow
hazards, allowing bogus results to be obtained for sufficiently
large input values. Also, since it initially converted the input
to a "struct tm", it was impossible to produce the full range of
representable interval values.
Meanwhile, EncodeInterval (interval output) and a few other
functions could suffer failures if asked to process sufficiently
large interval values, because they also relied on being able to
represent an interval in "struct tm" which is not designed to
handle that.
Fix all this stuff by introducing new struct types that are more
fit for purpose.
While this is clearly a bug fix, it's also an API break for any
code that's calling these functions directly. So back-patching
doesn't seem wise, especially in view of the lack of field
complaints.

Previously, the specialized tuplesort routine inlined handling for
reverse-sort and NULLs-ordering but called the datum comparator via a
pointer in the SortSupport struct parameter. Testing has showed that we
can get a useful performance gain by specializing datum comparison for
the different representations of abbreviated keys -- signed and unsigned
64-bit integers and signed 32-bit integers. Almost all abbreviatable data
types will benefit -- the only exception for now is numeric, since the
datum comparison is more complex. The performance gain depends on data
type and input distribution, but often falls in the range of 10-20% faster.

When evaluating a query with a multi-column GROUP BY clause using sort,
the cost may be heavily dependent on the order in which the keys are
compared when building the groups. Grouping does not imply any ordering,
so we're allowed to compare the keys in arbitrary order, and a Hash Agg
leverages this. But for Group Agg, we simply compared keys in the order
as specified in the query. This commit explores alternative ordering of
the keys, trying to find a cheaper one.
In principle, we might generate grouping paths for all permutations of
the keys, and leave the rest to the optimizer. But that might get very
expensive, so we try to pick only a couple interesting orderings based
on both local and global information.
When planning the grouping path, we explore statistics (number of
distinct values, cost of the comparison function) for the keys and
reorder them to minimize comparison costs. Intuitively, it may be better
to perform more expensive comparisons (for complex data types etc.)
last, because maybe the cheaper comparisons will be enough. Similarly,
the higher the cardinality of a key, the lower the probability we’ll
need to compare more keys. The patch generates and costs various
orderings, picking the cheapest ones.
The ordering of group keys may interact with other parts of the query,
some of which may not be known while planning the grouping. E.g. there
may be an explicit ORDER BY clause, or some other ordering-dependent
operation, higher up in the query, and using the same ordering may allow
using either incremental sort or even eliminate the sort entirely.
The patch generates orderings and picks those minimizing the comparison
cost (for various pathkeys), and then adds orderings that might be
useful for operations higher up in the plan (ORDER BY, etc.). Finally,
it always keeps the ordering specified in the query, on the assumption
the user might have additional insights.
This introduces a new GUC enable_group_by_reordering, so that the
optimization may be disabled if needed.

JSON_SCALAR()
JSON_SERIALIZE()
JSON() produces json values from text, bytea, json or jsonb values, and
has facilitites for handling duplicate keys.
JSON_SCALAR() produces a json value from any scalar sql value, including
json and jsonb.
JSON_SERIALIZE() produces text or bytea from input which containis or

This introduces the SQL/JSON functions for querying JSON data using
jsonpath expressions. The functions are:
JSON_EXISTS()
JSON_QUERY()
JSON_VALUE()
All of these functions only operate on jsonb. The workaround for now is
to cast the argument to jsonb.
JSON_EXISTS() tests if the jsonpath expression applied to the jsonb
value yields any values. JSON_VALUE() must return a single value, and an
error occurs if it tries to return multiple values. JSON_QUERY() must
return a json object or array, and there are various WRAPPER options for
handling scalar or multi-value results. Both these functions have
options for handling EMPTY and ERROR conditions.

Commit f9fd176461 effectively gave
every role ADMIN OPTION on itself. However, this appears to be
something that happened accidentally as a result of refactoring
work rather than an intentional decision. Almost a decade later,
it was discovered that this was a security vulnerability. As a
result, commit fea164a72a restricted
this implicit ADMIN OPTION privilege to be exercisable only when
the role being administered is the same as the session user and
when no security-restricted operation is in progress. That
commit also documented the existence of this implicit privilege
for what seems to be the first time.
The effect of the privilege is to allow a login role to grant
the privileges of that role, and optionally ADMIN OPTION on it,
to some other role. That's an unusual thing to do, because generally
membership is granted in roles used as groups, rather than roles
used as users. Therefore, it does not seem likely that removing
the privilege will break things for many PostgreSQL users.
However, it will make it easier to reason about the permissions
system. This is the only case where a user who has not been given any
special permission (superuser, or ADMIN OPTION on some role) can
modify role membership, so removing it makes things more consistent.
For example, if a superuser sets up role A and B and grants A to B
but no other privileges to anyone, she can now be sure that no one
else will be able to revoke that grant. Without this change, that
would have been true only if A was a non-login role.

This has no in-core callers but will be wanted by extensions.
It's just a thin wrapper around get_query_def, so it adds little code.
Also, fix get_from_clause_item() to force insertion of an alias
for a SUBQUERY RTE item. This is irrelevant to existing uses because
RTE_SUBQUERY items made by the parser always have aliases already.
However, if one tried to use pg_get_querydef() to inspect a post-rewrite
Query, it could be an issue. In any case, get_from_clause_item already
contained logic to force alias insertion for VALUES items, so the lack
of the same for SUBQUERY is a pretty clear oversight.

MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a
source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can
conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows -- a task that would otherwise
require multiple PL statements. For example,
MERGE INTO target AS t
USING source AS s
ON t.tid = s.sid
WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN
UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta
WHEN MATCHED THEN
DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN
INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
DO NOTHING;
MERGE works with regular tables, partitioned tables and inheritance
hierarchies, including column and row security enforcement, as well as
support for row and statement triggers and transition tables therein.
MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful
for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference
to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there
is some overhead. MERGE can be used from PL/pgSQL.
MERGE does not support targetting updatable views or foreign tables, and
RETURNING clauses are not allowed either. These limitations are likely
fixable with sufficient effort. Rewrite rules are also not supported,
but it's not clear that we'd want to support them.

When an update on a partitioned table referenced in foreign key
constraints causes a row to move from one partition to another,
the fact that the move is implemented as a delete followed by an insert
on the target partition causes the foreign key triggers to have
surprising behavior. For example, a given foreign key's delete trigger
which implements the ON DELETE CASCADE clause of that key will delete
any referencing rows when triggered for that internal DELETE, although
it should not, because the referenced row is simply being moved from one
partition of the referenced root partitioned table into another, not
being deleted from it.
This commit teaches trigger.c to skip queuing such delete trigger events
on the leaf partitions in favor of an UPDATE event fired on the root
target relation. Doing so is sensible because both the old and the new
tuple "logically" belong to the root relation.
The after trigger event queuing interface now allows passing the source
and the target partitions of a particular cross-partition update when
registering the update event for the root partitioned table. Along with
the two ctids of the old and the new tuple, the after trigger event now
also stores the OIDs of those partitions. The tuples fetched from the
source and the target partitions are converted into the root table
format, if necessary, before they are passed to the trigger function.
The implementation currently has a limitation that only the foreign keys
pointing into the query's target relation are considered, not those of
its sub-partitioned partitions. That seems like a reasonable
limitation, because it sounds rare to have distinct foreign keys
pointing to sub-partitioned partitions instead of to the root table.
This misbehavior stems from commit f56f8f8da6 (which added support for
foreign keys to reference partitioned tables) not paying sufficient
attention to commit 2f17844104 (which had introduced cross-partition
updates a year earlier). Even though the former commit goes back to
Postgres 12, we're not backpatching this fix at this time for fear of
destabilizing things too much, and because there are a few ABI breaks in
it that we'd have to work around in older branches. It also depends on
commit f4566345cf, which had its own share of backpatchability issues
as well.

This adds the option to use ICU as the default locale provider for
either the whole cluster or a database. New options for initdb,
createdb, and CREATE DATABASE are used to select this.
Since some (legacy) code still uses the libc locale facilities
directly, we still need to set the libc global locale settings even if
ICU is otherwise selected. So pg_database now has three
locale-related fields: the existing datcollate and datctype, which are
always set, and a new daticulocale, which is only set if ICU is
selected. A similar change is made in pg_collation for consistency,
but in that case, only the libc-related fields or the ICU-related
field is set, never both.

Using this system function with an in-place tablespace (created when
allow_in_place_tablespaces is enabled by specifying an empty string as

pg_tablespace_location() so as a relative path to the data directory is

Set-returning functions that use the Materialize mode, creating a
tuplestore to include all the tuples returned in a set rather than doing
so in multiple calls, use roughly the same set of steps to prepare
ReturnSetInfo for this job:
- Check if ReturnSetInfo supports returning a tuplestore and if the
materialize mode is enabled.
- Create a tuplestore for all the tuples part of the returned set in the
per-query memory context, stored in ReturnSetInfo->setResult.
- Build a tuple descriptor mostly from get_call_result_type(), then
stored in ReturnSetInfo->setDesc. Note that there are some cases where
the SRF's tuple descriptor has to be the one specified by the function
caller.
This refactoring is done so as there are (well, should be) no behavior
changes in any of the in-core functions refactored, and the centralized
function that checks and sets up the function's ReturnSetInfo can be
controlled with a set of bits32 options. Two of them prove to be
necessary now:
- SRF_SINGLE_USE_EXPECTED to use expectedDesc as tuple descriptor, as
expected by the function's caller.
- SRF_SINGLE_BLESS to validate the tuple descriptor for the SRF.
The same initialization pattern is simplified in 28 places per my
count as of src/backend/, shaving up to ~900 lines of code. These
mostly come from the removal of the per-query initializations and the
sanity checks now grouped in a single location. There are more
locations that could be simplified in contrib/, that are left for a
follow-up cleanup.
fcc2817, 07daca5 and d61a361 have prepared the areas of the code related

Most of these are cases where we could call memcpy() or other libc

by POSIX even though every production version of libc allows it.
We've fixed such things before in a piecemeal way, but apparently
never made an effort to try to get them all. I don't claim that
this patch does so either, but it gets every failure I observe in
check-world, using clang 12.0.1 on current RHEL8.
numeric.c has a different issue that the sanitizer doesn't like:
"ln(-1.0)" will compute log10(0) and then try to assign the
resulting -Inf to an integer variable. We don't actually use the

It was decided (refer to the Discussion link below) that the stats
collector is not an appropriate place to store the error information of
subscription workers.
This patch changes the pg_stat_subscription_workers view (introduced by
commit 8d74fc96db) so that it stores only statistics counters:
apply_error_count and sync_error_count, and has one entry for
each subscription. The removed error information such as error-XID and
the error message would be stored in another way in the future which is
more reliable and persistent.
After removing these error details, there is no longer any relation
information, so the subscription statistics are now a cluster-wide
statistics.
The patch also changes the view name to pg_stat_subscription_stats since
the word "worker" is an implementation detail that we use one worker for
one tablesync and one apply.

Formerly div_var() had "fast path" short division code that was
significantly faster when the divisor was just one base-NBASE digit,
but otherwise used long division.
This commit adds a new function div_var_int() that divides by an
arbitrary 32-bit integer, using the fast short division algorithm, and
updates both div_var() and div_var_fast() to use it for one and two
digit divisors. In the case of div_var(), this is slightly faster in
the one-digit case, because it avoids some digit array copying, and is
much faster in the two-digit case where it replaces long division. For
div_var_fast(), it is much faster in both cases because the main
div_var_fast() algorithm is optimised for larger inputs.
Additionally, optimise exp() and ln() by using div_var_int(), allowing
a NumericVar to be replaced by an int in a couple of places, most
notably in the Taylor series code. This produces a significant speedup
of exp(), ln() and the numeric_big regression test.

In the standard numeric division algorithm, the inner loop multiplies
the divisor by the next quotient digit and subtracts that from the
working dividend. As suggested by the original code comment, the
separate "carry" and "borrow" variables (from the multiplication and
subtraction steps respectively) can be folded together into a single
variable. Doing so significantly improves performance, as well as
simplifying the code.

This loop is basically the same as the inner loop of mul_var(), which
was auto-vectorized in commit 8870917623, but the compiler will only
consider auto-vectorizing the div_var_fast() loop if the assignment
target div[qi + i] is replaced by div_qi[i], where div_qi = &div[qi].
Additionally, since the compiler doesn't know that qdigit is
guaranteed to fit in a 16-bit NumericDigit, cast it to NumericDigit
before multiplying to make the resulting auto-vectorized code more
efficient (avoiding unnecessary multiplication of the high 16 bits).
While at it, per suggestion from Tom Lane, change var1digit in
mul_var() to be a NumericDigit rather than an int for the same
reason. This actually makes no difference with modern gcc, but it
might help other compilers generate more efficient assembly.

This makes more consistent the SRF-related checks in the area of
PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, PL/Tcl, pageinspect and some of the JSON worker
functions, making it easier to grep for the same error patterns through

It is worth noting that each_worker_jsonb()/each_worker() in jsonfuncs.c

get_call_result_type(). This looks like a set of copy-paste errors that

This function converts a byte position to a character position after
a successful string match. Rather than calling pg_mblen() in a loop,
use pg_mbstrlen_with_len() since the latter can inline its own call to
pg_mblen(). When the string match is at the end of the haystack text, this
change results in 10-20% performance improvement, depending on platform and
typical character length in bytes. This also simplifies the code a little.
Specializing for UTF-8 could result in further improvement, but the

The SQL standard has been ambiguous about whether null values in
unique constraints should be considered equal or not. Different
implementations have different behaviors. In the SQL:202x draft, this
has been formalized by making this implementation-defined and adding
an option on unique constraint definitions UNIQUE [ NULLS [NOT]
DISTINCT ] to choose a behavior explicitly.
This patch adds this option to PostgreSQL. The default behavior
remains UNIQUE NULLS DISTINCT. Making this happen in the btree code
is pretty easy; most of the patch is just to carry the flag around to
all the places that need it.
The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX syntax extension is not from the standard,
it's my own invention.
I named all the internal flags, catalog columns, etc. in the negative
("nulls not distinct") so that the default PostgreSQL behavior is the
default if the flag is false.

Given the existing stipulation that path_contains_parent_reference()

".." at the start of a relative path. That means we can simplify
path_contains_parent_reference() itself quite a bit, and it makes
the two existing outside call sites dead code, since they'd already
checked that the path is absolute.
We could now fold path_contains_parent_reference() into its only
remaining caller path_is_relative_and_below_cwd(). But it seems
better to leave it as a separately callable function, in case any

Commit 8431e296ea reworked ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfo to sort XIDs
before adding them to KnownAssignedXids. But the XIDs are sorted using
xidComparator, which compares the XIDs simply as uint32 values, not
logically. KnownAssignedXidsAdd() however expects XIDs in logical order,
and calls TransactionIdFollowsOrEquals() to enforce that. If there are
XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, an error is raised and the
recovery fails/restarts.
Hitting this issue is fairly easy - you just need two transactions, one
started before the 4B limit (e.g. XID 4294967290), the other sometime
after it (e.g. XID 1000). Logically (4294967290 <= 1000) but when
compared using xidComparator we try to add them in the opposite order.
Which makes KnownAssignedXidsAdd() fail with an error like this:
ERROR: out-of-order XID insertion in KnownAssignedXids
This only happens during replica startup, while processing RUNNING_XACTS
records to build the snapshot. Once we reach STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, we
skip these records. So this does not affect already running replicas,
but if you restart (or create) a replica while there are transactions
with XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, you may hit this.
Long-running transactions and frequent replica restarts increase the
likelihood of hitting this issue. Once the replica gets into this state,
it can't be started (even if the old transactions are terminated).
Fixed by sorting the XIDs logically - this is fine because we're dealing
with normal XIDs (because it's XIDs assigned to backends) and from the
same wraparound epoch (otherwise the backends could not be running at
the same time on the primary node). So there are no problems with the
triangle inequality, which is why xidComparator compares raw values.

This changes the data type of the catalog fields datcollate, datctype,
collcollate, and collctype from name to text. There wasn't ever a
really good reason for them to be of type name; presumably this was
just carried over from when they were fixed-size fields in pg_control,
first into the corresponding pg_database fields, and then to
pg_collation. The values are not identifiers or object names, and we
don't ever look them up that way.
Changing to type text saves space in the typical case, since locale
names are typically only a few bytes long. But it is also possible
that an ICU locale name with several customization options appended
could be longer than 63 bytes, so this also enables that case, which

Currently, database OIDs, relfilenodes, and tablespace OIDs can all
change when a cluster is upgraded using pg_upgrade. It seems better
to preserve them, because (1) it makes troubleshooting pg_upgrade
easier, since you don't have to do a lot of work to match up files
in the old and new clusters, (2) it allows 'rsync' to save bandwidth
when used to re-sync a cluster after an upgrade, and (3) if we ever
encrypt or sign blocks, we would likely want to use a nonce that
depends on these values.
This patch only arranges to preserve relfilenodes and tablespace
OIDs. The task of preserving database OIDs is left for another patch,

"jsonlog" is a new value that can be added to log_destination to provide
logs in the JSON format, with its output written to a file, making it
the third type of destination of this kind, after "stderr" and
"csvlog". The format is convenient to feed logs to other applications.
There is also a plugin external to core that provided this feature using
the hook in elog.c, but this had to overwrite the output of "stderr" to
work, so being able to do both at the same time was not possible. The
files generated by this log format are suffixed with ".json", and use
the same rotation policies as the other two formats depending on the
backend configuration.
This takes advantage of the refactoring work done previously in ac7c807,
bed6ed3, 8b76f89 and 2d77d83 for the backend parts, and 72b76f7 for the
TAP tests, making the addition of any new file-based format rather

Add pg_statistic_ext_data.stxdinherit flag, so that for each extended
statistics definition we can store two versions of data - one for the
relation alone, one for the whole inheritance tree. This is analogous to
pg_statistic.stainherit, but we failed to include such flag in catalogs
for extended statistics, and we had to work around it (see commits
859b3003de, 36c4bc6e72 and 20b9fa308e).
This changes the relationship between the two catalogs storing extended
statistics objects (pg_statistic_ext and pg_statistic_ext_data). Until
now, there was a simple 1:1 mapping - for each definition there was one
pg_statistic_ext_data row, and this row was inserted while creating the
statistics (and then updated during ANALYZE). With the stxdinherit flag,
we don't know how many rows there will be (child relations may be added
after the statistics object is defined), so there may be up to two rows.
We could make CREATE STATISTICS to always create both rows, but that
seems wasteful - without partitioning we only need stxdinherit=false
rows, and declaratively partitioned tables need only stxdinherit=true.
So we no longer initialize pg_statistic_ext_data in CREATE STATISTICS,
and instead make that a responsibility of ANALYZE. Which is what we do
for regular statistics too.

Commit 859b3003de disabled building of extended stats for inheritance
trees, to prevent updating the same catalog row twice. While that
resolved the issue, it also means there are no extended stats for
declaratively partitioned tables, because there are no data in the
non-leaf relations.
That also means declaratively partitioned tables were not affected by
the issue 859b3003de addressed, which means this is a regression
affecting queries that calculate estimates for the whole inheritance
tree as a whole (which includes e.g. GROUP BY queries).
But because partitioned tables are empty, we can invert the condition
and build statistics only for the case with inheritance, without losing
anything. And we can consider them when calculating estimates.
It may be necessary to run ANALYZE on partitioned tables, to collect
proper statistics. For declarative partitioning there should no prior
statistics, and it might take time before autoanalyze is triggered. For
tables partitioned by inheritance the statistics may include data from
child relations (if built 859b3003de), contradicting the current code.

Since commit 859b3003de we only build extended statistics for individual
relations, ignoring the child relations. This resolved the issue with
updating catalog tuple twice, but we still tried to use the statistics
when calculating estimates for the whole inheritance tree. When the
relations contain very distinct data, it may produce bogus estimates.
This is roughly the same issue 427c6b5b9 addressed ~15 years ago, and we
fix it the same way - by ignoring extended statistics when calculating
estimates for the inheritance tree as a whole. We still consider
extended statistics when calculating estimates for individual child
relations, of course.
This may result in plan changes due to different estimates, but if the
old statistics were not describing the inheritance tree particularly

could fail only under this circumstance.
The new cryptohash facilities can fail for reasons other than OOMs, like
attempting MD5 when FIPS is enabled (upstream OpenSSL allows that up to
1.0.2, Fedora and Photon patch OpenSSL 1.1.1 to allow that), so this
would cause incorrect reports to show up.
This commit extends the cryptohash APIs so as callers of those routines
can fetch more context when an error happens, by using a new routine
called pg_cryptohash_error(). The error states are stored within each
implementation's internal context data, so as it is possible to extend
the logic depending on what's suited for an implementation. The default
implementation requires few error states, but OpenSSL could report
various issues depending on its internal state so more is needed in
cryptohash_openssl.c, and the code is shaped so as we are always able to
grab the necessary information.
The core code is changed to adapt to the new error routine, painting
more "const" across the call stack where the static errors are stored,
particularly in authentication code paths on variables that provide
log details. This way, any future changes would warn if attempting to
free these strings. The MD5 authentication code was also a bit blurry
about the handling of "logdetail" (LOG sent to the postmaster), so
improve the comments related that, while on it.
The origin of the problem is 87ae969, that introduced the centralized
cryptohash facility. Extra changes are done for pgcrypto in v14 for the
non-OpenSSL code path to cope with the improvements done by this
commit.

Since this function is defined to accept pg_node_tree values, it could
get applied to any nodetree that can appear in a cataloged pg_node_tree
column. Some such cases can't be supported --- for example, its API
doesn't allow providing referents for more than one relation --- but
we should try to throw a user-facing error rather than an internal
error when encountering such a case.
In support of this, extend expression_tree_walker/mutator to be sure
they'll work on any such node tree (which basically means adding
support for relpartbound node types). That allows us to run pull_varnos
and check for the case of multiple relations before we start processing
the tree. The alternative of changing the low-level error thrown for an
out-of-range varno isn't appealing, because that could mask actual bugs
in other usages of ruleutils.

pg_strtouint64() is a wrapper around strtoull/strtoul/_strtoui64, but
it seems no longer necessary to have this indirection.
msvc/Solution.pm claims HAVE_STRTOULL, so the "MSVC only" part seems
unnecessary. Also, we have code in c.h to substitute alternatives for
strtoull() if not found, and that would appear to cover all currently
supported platforms, so having a further fallback in pg_strtouint64()
seems unnecessary.
Therefore, we could remove pg_strtouint64(), and use strtoull()
directly in all call sites. However, it seems useful to keep a
separate notation for parsing exactly 64-bit integers, matching the
type definition int64/uint64. For that, add new macros strtoi64() and
strtou64() in c.h as thin wrappers around strtol()/strtoul() or
strtoll()/stroull(). This makes these functions available everywhere
instead of just in the server code, and it makes the function naming
notably different from the pg_strtointNN() functions in numutils.c,
which have a different API.

The API spec for lookup_rowtype_tupdesc previously said you could use
either ReleaseTupleDesc or DecrTupleDescRefCount. However, the latter
choice means the caller must be certain that the returned tupdesc is
refcounted. I don't recall right now whether that was always true
when this spec was written, but it's certainly not always true since
we introduced shared record typcaches for parallel workers. That means
that callers using DecrTupleDescRefCount are dependent on typcache
behavior details that they probably shouldn't be. Hence, change the API
spec to say that you must call ReleaseTupleDesc, and fix the half-dozen
callers that weren't.
AFAICT this is just future-proofing, there's no live bug here.

Memoize would always use the hash equality operator for the cache key
types to determine if the current set of parameters were the same as some
previously cached set. Certain types such as floating points where -0.0
and +0.0 differ in their binary representation but are classed as equal by
the hash equality operator may cause problems as unless the join uses the
same operator it's possible that whichever join operator is being used
would be able to distinguish the two values. In which case we may
accidentally return in the incorrect rows out of the cache.
To fix this here we add a binary mode to Memoize to allow it to the
current set of parameters to previously cached values by comparing
bit-by-bit rather than logically using the hash equality operator. This
binary mode is always used for LATERAL joins and it's used for normal
joins when any of the join operators are not hashable.

If a SQL-standard function body contains an INSERT ... SELECT statement,
any function parameters referenced within the SELECT were always printed
in $N style, rather than using the parameter name if any. While not
strictly incorrect, this wasn't the intention, and it's inconsistent
with the way that such parameters would be printed in any other kind
of statement.
The cause is that the recursion to get_query_def from
get_insert_query_def neglected to pass down the context->namespaces
list, passing constant NIL instead. This is a very ancient oversight,
but AFAICT it had no visible consequences before commit e717a9a18
added an outermost namespace with function parameters. We don't allow
INSERT ... SELECT as a sub-query, except in a top-level WITH clause,
where it couldn't contain any outer references that might need to access
upper namespaces. So although that's arguably a bug, I don't see any
point in changing it before v14.

The tsvector data type has always forbidden lexemes to be empty.
However, array_to_tsvector() didn't get that memo, and would
allow an empty-string array element to become an empty lexeme.
This could result in dump/restore failures later, not to mention
whatever semantic issues might be behind the original prohibition.
However, other functions that take a plain text input directly as
a lexeme value do not need a similar restriction, because they only
match the string against existing tsvector entries. In particular
it'd be a bad idea to make ts_delete() reject empty strings, since
that is the most convenient way to clean up any bad data that might
have gotten into a tsvector column via this bug.
Reflecting on that, let's also remove the prohibition against NULL
array elements in tsvector_delete_arr and tsvector_setweight_by_filter.
It seems more consistent to ignore them, as an empty-string element
would be ignored.
There's a case for back-patching this, since it's clearly a bug fix.

Commit 3f50b8263 had an oversight: formerly, to deparse expressions

Now it's necessary to update the ancestors list *first*, because

This error was masked in most cases because explain.c uses just one
List object for the ancestors list, updating it in-place as the plan

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.

Up to now the size of a query's rangetable has been limited by the
constants INNER_VAR et al, which mustn't be equal to any real
rangetable index. 65000 doubtless seemed like enough for anybody,
and it still is orders of magnitude larger than the number of joins
we can realistically handle. However, we need a rangetable entry
for each child partition that is (or might be) processed by a query.
Queries with a few thousand partitions are getting more realistic,
so that the day when that limit becomes a problem is in sight,
even if it's not here yet. Hence, let's raise the limit.
Rather than just increase the values of INNER_VAR et al, this patch
adopts the approach of making them small negative values, so that
rangetables could theoretically become as long as INT_MAX.
The bulk of the patch is concerned with changing Var.varno and some
related variables from "Index" (unsigned int) to plain "int". This
is basically cosmetic, with little actual effect other than to help
debuggers print their values nicely. As such, I've only bothered
with changing places that could actually see INNER_VAR et al, which
the parser and most of the planner don't. We do have to be careful
in places that are performing less/greater comparisons on varnos,
but there are very few such places, other than the IS_SPECIAL_VARNO
macro itself.
A notable side effect of this patch is that while it used to be
possible to add INNER_VAR et al to a Bitmapset, that will now
draw an error. I don't see any likelihood that it wouldn't be a
bug to include these fake varnos in a bitmapset of real varnos,
so I think this is all to the good.
Although this touches outfuncs/readfuncs, I don't think a catversion
bump is required, since stored rules would never contain Vars
with these fake varnos.

The Value node struct is a weird construct. It is its own node type,
but most of the time, it actually has a node type of Integer, Float,
String, or BitString. As a consequence, the struct name and the node
type don't match most of the time, and so it has to be treated
specially a lot. There doesn't seem to be any value in the special
construct. There is very little code that wants to accept all Value
variants but nothing else (and even if it did, this doesn't provide
any convenient way to check it), and most code wants either just one
particular node type (usually String), or it accepts a broader set of
node types besides just Value.
This change removes the Value struct and node type and replaces them
by separate Integer, Float, String, and BitString node types that are
proper node types and structs of their own and behave mostly like
normal node types.
Also, this removes the T_Null node tag, which was previously also a
possible variant of Value but wasn't actually used outside of the
Value contained in A_Const. Replace that by an isnull field in
A_Const.

Commit 01e658fa74 added hash support for row types. This also added
support for hashing anonymous record types, using the same approach
that the type cache uses for comparison support for record types: It
just reports that it works, but it might fail at run time if a
component type doesn't actually support the operation. We get away
with that for comparison because most types support that. But some
types don't support hashing, so the current state can result in
failures at run time where the planner chooses hashing over sorting,
whereas that previously worked if only sorting was an option.
We do, however, want the record hashing support for path tracking in
recursive unions, and the SEARCH and CYCLE clauses built on that. In
that case, hashing is the only plan option. So enable that, this
commit implements the following approach: The type cache does not
report that hashing is available for the record type. This undoes
that part of 01e658fa74. Instead, callers that require hashing no
matter what can override that result themselves. This patch only
touches the callers to make the aforementioned recursive query cases
work, namely the parse analysis of unions, as well as the hash_array()

When starting to use a query parsetree loaded from the catalogs,
we must begin by applying AcquireRewriteLocks(), to obtain the same
relation locks that the parser would have gotten if the query were
entered interactively, and to do some other cleanup such as dealing
with later-dropped columns. New-style SQL functions are just as
subject to this rule as other stored parsetrees; however, of the
places dealing with such functions, only init_sql_fcache had gotten
the memo. In particular, if we successfully inlined a new-style
set-returning SQL function that contained any relation references,
we'd either get an assertion failure or attempt to use those
relation(s) sans locks.
I also added AcquireRewriteLocks calls to fmgr_sql_validator and

This is a combined revert of the following commits:
- c3826f8, a refactoring piece that moved the hex decoding code to
src/common/. This code was cleaned up by aef8948, as it originally
included no overflow checks in the same way as the base64 routines in
src/common/ used by SCRAM, making it unsafe for its purpose.
- aef8948, a more advanced refactoring of the hex encoding/decoding code
to src/common/ that added sanity checks on the result buffer for hex
decoding and encoding. As reported by Hans Buschmann, those overflow
checks are expensive, and it is possible to see a performance drop in
the decoding/encoding of bytea or LOs the longer they are. Simple SQLs
working on large bytea values show a clear difference in perf profile.
- ccf4e27, a cleanup made possible by aef8948.
The reverts of all those commits bring back the performance of hex
decoding and encoding back to what it was in ~13. Fow now and
post-beta3, this is the simplest option.

If the replacement string doesn't contain \1...\9, then we don't
need sub-match locations, so we can use the REG_NOSUB optimization
here too. There's already a pre-scan of the replacement string
to look for backslashes, so extend that to check for digits, and
refactor to allow that to happen before we compile the regexp.
While at it, try to speed up the pre-scan by using memchr() instead
of a handwritten loop. It's likely that this is lost in the noise
compared to the regexp processing proper, but maybe not. In any
case, this coding is shorter.
Also, add some test cases to improve the poor coverage of

Identifying the precise match locations for parenthesized subexpressions
is a fairly expensive task given the way our regexp engine works, both
at regexp compile time (where we must create an optimized NFA for each
parenthesized subexpression) and at runtime (where determining exact
match locations requires laborious search).
Up to now we've made little attempt to optimize this situation. This
patch identifies cases where we know at compile time that we won't
need to know subexpression match locations, and teaches the regexp
compiler to not bother creating per-subexpression regexps for
parenthesis pairs that are not referenced by backrefs elsewhere in
the regexp. (To preserve semantics, we obviously still have to
pin down the match locations of backref references.) Users could
have obtained the same results before this by being careful to
write "non capturing" parentheses wherever possible, but few people
bother with that.

Formerly, the numeric code tested whether an integer value of a larger
type would fit in a smaller type by casting it to the smaller type and
then testing if the reverse conversion produced the original value.
That's perfectly fine, except that it caused a test failure on
buildfarm animal castoroides, most likely due to a compiler bug.
Instead, do these tests by comparing against PG_INT16/32_MIN/MAX. That
matches existing code in other places, such as int84(), which is more
widely tested, and so is less likely to go wrong.
While at it, add regression tests covering the numeric-to-int8/4/2
conversions, and adjust the recently added tests to the style of

This fixes a long-standing bug when using to_char() to format a
numeric value in scientific notation -- if the value's exponent is
less than -NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE-1 (-1001), it produced a
division-by-zero error.
The reason for this error was that get_str_from_var_sci() divides its
input by 10^exp, which it produced using power_var_int(). However, the
underflow test in power_var_int() causes it to return zero if the
result scale is too small. That's not a problem for power_var_int()'s
only other caller, power_var(), since that limits the rscale to 1000,
but in get_str_from_var_sci() the exponent can be much smaller,
requiring a much larger rscale. Fix by introducing a new function to
compute 10^exp directly, with no rscale limit. This also allows 10^exp
to be computed more efficiently, without any numeric multiplication,
division or rounding.

with some new optional arguments. All these functions follow

This fixes a couple of related problems that arise when raising
numbers to very large powers.
Firstly, when raising a negative number to a very large integer power,
the result should be well-defined, but the previous code would only
cope if the exponent was small enough to go through power_var_int().
Otherwise it would throw an internal error, attempting to take the
logarithm of a negative number. Fix this by adding suitable handling
to the general case in power_var() to cope with negative bases,
checking for integer powers there.
Next, when raising a (positive or negative) number whose absolute
value is slightly less than 1 to a very large power, the result should
approach zero as the power is increased. However, in some cases, for
sufficiently large powers, this would lose all precision and return 1
instead of 0. This was due to the way that the local_rscale was being
calculated for the final full-precision calculation:
local_rscale = rscale + (int) val - ln_dweight + 8
The first two terms on the right hand side are meant to give the
number of significant digits required in the result ("val" being the
estimated result weight). However, this failed to account for the fact
that rscale is clipped to a maximum of NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE
(1000), and the result weight might be less then -1000, causing their
sum to be negative, leading to a loss of precision. Fix this by
forcing the number of significant digits calculated to be nonnegative.
It's OK for it to be zero (when the result weight is less than -1000),
since the local_rscale value then includes a few extra digits to
ensure an accurate result.
Finally, add additional underflow checks to exp_var() and power_var(),
so that they consistently return zero for cases like this where the
result is indistinguishable from zero. Some paths through this code
already returned zero in such cases, but others were throwing overflow
errors.

This patch causes EXPLAIN output to refer to objects that are in
the current session's temp schema with the "pg_temp" schema alias
rather than that schema's actual name. This is useful for our own
testing purposes since it will stabilize EXPLAIN VERBOSE output
for such cases, allowing us to use that in regression tests.
It should be less confusing for end users too.
Since ruleutils.c needs to change behavior for this, the change
also leaks into a few other users of ruleutils.c, for example
pg_get_viewdef(). AFAICS that won't cause any problems.
We did find that aggressively trying to change this behavior
across-the-board would cause issues, but as long as "pg_temp"
only appears within generated SQL text, I think it'll be fine.
Along the way, make get_namespace_name_or_temp conform to the

since no callers attempt to pfree the result, but if it gets

Formerly, when specifying NUMERIC(precision, scale), the scale had to
be in the range [0, precision], which was per SQL spec. This commit
extends the range of allowed scales to [-1000, 1000], independent of
the precision (whose valid range remains [1, 1000]).
A negative scale implies rounding before the decimal point. For
example, a column might be declared with a scale of -3 to round values
to the nearest thousand. Note that the display scale remains
non-negative, so in this case the display scale will be zero, and all
digits before the decimal point will be displayed.
A scale greater than the precision supports fractional values with
zeros immediately after the decimal point.
Take the opportunity to tidy up the code that packs, unpacks and
validates the contents of a typmod integer, encapsulating it in a
small set of new inline functions.
Bump the catversion because the allowed contents of atttypmod have
changed for numeric columns. This isn't a change that requires a

Since petabytes are on the horizon, let's just add those only. Maybe one

We've grown 2 versions of pg_size_pretty over the years, one for BIGINT
and one for NUMERIC. Both should output the same, but keeping them in
sync is harder than needed due to neither function sharing a source of
truth about which units to use and how to transition to the next largest
unit.
Here we add a static array which defines the units that we recognize and
have both pg_size_pretty and pg_size_pretty_numeric use it. This will
make adding any units in the future a very simple task.
The table contains all information required to allow us to also modify
pg_size_bytes to use the lookup table, so adjust that too.

Due to how pg_size_pretty(bigint) was implemented, it's possible that when
given a negative number of bytes that the returning value would not match
the equivalent positive return value when given the equivalent positive
number of bytes. This was due to two separate issues.
1. The function used bit shifting to convert the number of bytes into
larger units. The rounding performed by bit shifting is not the same as
dividing. For example -3 >> 1 = -2, but -3 / 2 = -1. These two
operations are only equivalent with positive numbers.
2. The half_rounded() macro rounded towards positive infinity. This meant
that negative numbers rounded towards zero and positive numbers rounded
away from zero.
Here we fix#1 by dividing the values instead of bit shifting. We fix#2
by adjusting the half_rounded macro always to round away from zero.
Additionally, adjust the pg_size_pretty(numeric) function to be more
explicit that it's using division rather than bit shifting. A casual
observer might have believed bit shifting was used due to a static
function being named numeric_shift_right. However, that function was
calculating the divisor from the number of bits and performed division.
Here we make that more clear. This change is just cosmetic and does not
affect the return value of the numeric version of the function.
Here we also add a set of regression tests both versions of
pg_size_pretty() which test the values directly before and after the
function switches to the next unit.
This bug was introduced in 8a1fab36a. Prior to that negative values were
always displayed in bytes.

Backpatch-through: 9.6, where the bug was introduced.
Formerly various numeric aggregate functions supported parallel
aggregation by having each worker convert partial aggregate values to
Numeric and use numeric_send() as part of serializing their state.
That's problematic, since the range of Numeric is smaller than that of
NumericVar, so it's possible for it to overflow (on either side of the
decimal point) in cases that would succeed in non-parallel mode.
Fix by serializing NumericVars instead, to avoid the overflow risk and
ensure that parallel and non-parallel modes work the same.
A side benefit is that this improves the efficiency of the
serialization/deserialization code, which can make a noticeable
difference to performance with large numbers of parallel workers.
No back-patch due to risk from changing the binary format of the
aggregate serialization states, as well as lack of prior field
complaints and low probability of such overflows in practice.

Commit 2453ea142 redefined pg_proc.proargtypes to include the types of
OUT parameters, for procedures only. While that had some advantages
for implementing the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, it was pretty
disastrous from a number of other perspectives. Notably, since the
primary key of pg_proc is name + proargtypes, this made it possible to
have multiple procedures with identical names + input arguments and
differing output argument types. That would make it impossible to call
any one of the procedures by writing just NULL (or "?", or any other
data-type-free notation) for the output argument(s). The change also
seems likely to cause grave confusion for client applications that
examine pg_proc and expect the traditional definition of proargtypes.
Hence, revert the definition of proargtypes to what it was, and
undo a number of complications that had been added to support that.
To support the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, when there are
no argmode markers in the command's parameter list, we perform the
lookup both ways (that is, matching against both proargtypes and
proallargtypes), succeeding if we get just one unique match.
In principle this could result in ambiguous-function failures
that would not happen when using only one of the two rules.
However, overloading of procedure names is thought to be a pretty
rare usage, so this shouldn't cause many problems in practice.
Postgres-specific code such as pg_dump can defend against any
possibility of such failures by being careful to specify argmodes
for all procedure arguments.
This also fixes a few other bugs in the area of CALL statements
with named parameters, and improves the documentation a little.
catversion bump forced because the representation of procedures
with OUT arguments changes.

The only change worthy of note is that pgindent messed up the formatting
of launcher.c's struct LogicalRepWorkerId, which led me to notice that
that struct wasn't used at all anymore, so I just took it out.
While we were (mostly) careful about ensuring that the dimensions of
arrays aren't large enough to cause integer overflow, the lower bound
values were generally not checked. This allows situations where
lower_bound + dimension overflows an integer. It seems that that's
harmless so far as array reading is concerned, except that array
elements with subscripts notionally exceeding INT_MAX are inaccessible.
However, it confuses various array-assignment logic, resulting in a
potential for memory stomps.
Fix by adding checks that array lower bounds aren't large enough to
cause lower_bound + dimension to overflow. (Note: this results in
disallowing cases where the last subscript position would be exactly
INT_MAX. In principle we could probably allow that, but there's a lot
of code that computes lower_bound + dimension and would need adjustment.
It seems doubtful that it's worth the trouble/risk to allow it.)
Somewhat independently of that, array_set_element() was careless
about possible overflow when checking the subscript of a fixed-length
array, creating a different route to memory stomps. Fix that too.

websearch_to_tsquery() splits text in quotes into tokens and connects them with
phrase operator on its own. However, that leads to surprising results when the
token contains no words.
For instance, websearch_to_tsquery('"aaa: bbb"') is 'aaa <2> bbb', because
it is equivalent of to_tsquery(E'aaa <-> \':\' <-> bbb'). But
websearch_to_tsquery('"aaa: bbb"') has to be 'aaa <-> bbb' in order to match
to_tsvector('aaa: bbb').
Since 0c4f355c6a, we anyway connect lexemes of complex tokens with phrase

the current source file location for purposes of #include "..."
directives. Hence, a VPATH build failed with 'cannot find include file:
"specscanner.c"'. With two exceptions, parser-containing directories
already add "-I. -I$(srcdir)"; eliminate the exceptions. Back-patch to
9.6 (all supported versions).
Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a
number of months has never considered the case of negative numbers,
where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses. The
conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as
specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII.
This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more
consistent behavior:
- If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL.
- If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number.
- If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with
-1 meaning December, -2 November, etc.

Coverity complained about possible overflow in expressions like
intresult = tm->tm_sec * 1000000 + fsec;
on the grounds that the multiplication would happen in 32-bit
arithmetic before widening to the int64 result. I think these
are all false positives because of the limited possible range of
tm_sec; but nonetheless it seems silly to spell it like that when
nearby lines have the identical computation written with a 64-bit
constant.
... or more accurately, with an LL constant, which is not project
style. Make all of these use INT64CONST(), as we do elsewhere.
This is all new code from a2da77cdb, so no need for back-patch.
Commit c9c41c7a33 used two different

Ignore parallel workers in pg_stat_statements
Oversight in 4f0b0966c8 which exposed queryid in parallel workers.
Counters are aggregated by the main backend process so parallel workers
would report duplicated activity, and could also report activity for the
wrong entry as they are only aware of the top level queryid.
Fix thinko in pg_stat_get_activity when retrieving the queryid.
Remove unnecessary call to pgstat_report_queryid().

This adds support for writing CREATE FUNCTION and CREATE PROCEDURE
statements for language SQL with a function body that conforms to the
SQL standard and is portable to other implementations.
Instead of the PostgreSQL-specific AS $$ string literal $$ syntax,
this allows writing out the SQL statements making up the body
unquoted, either as a single statement:
CREATE FUNCTION add(a integer, b integer) RETURNS integer
LANGUAGE SQL
RETURN a + b;
or as a block
CREATE PROCEDURE insert_data(a integer, b integer)
LANGUAGE SQL
BEGIN ATOMIC
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (a);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (b);
END;
The function body is parsed at function definition time and stored as
expression nodes in a new pg_proc column prosqlbody. So at run time,
no further parsing is required.
However, this form does not support polymorphic arguments, because
there is no more parse analysis done at call time.
Dependencies between the function and the objects it uses are fully
tracked.
A new RETURN statement is introduced. This can only be used inside
function bodies. Internally, it is treated much like a SELECT
statement.
psql needs some new intelligence to keep track of function body
boundaries so that it doesn't send off statements when it sees
semicolons that are inside a function body.

Use the in-core query id computation for pg_stat_activity,
log_line_prefix, and EXPLAIN VERBOSE.
Similar to other fields in pg_stat_activity, only the queryid from the
top level statements are exposed, and if the backends status isn't
active then the queryid from the last executed statements is displayed.
Add a %Q placeholder to include the queryid in log_line_prefix, which
will also only expose top level statements.
For EXPLAIN VERBOSE, if a query identifier has been computed, either by
enabling compute_query_id or using a third-party module, display it.

The previous implementation of EXTRACT mapped internally to
date_part(), which returned type double precision (since it was
implemented long before the numeric type existed). This can lead to
imprecise output in some cases, so returning numeric would be
preferrable. Changing the return type of an existing function is a
bit risky, so instead we do the following: We implement a new set of
functions, which are now called "extract", in parallel to the existing
date_part functions. They work the same way internally but use
numeric instead of float8. The EXTRACT construct is now mapped by the
parser to these new extract functions. That way, dumps of views
etc. from old versions (which would use date_part) continue to work
unchanged, but new uses will map to the new extract functions.
Additionally, the reverse compilation of EXTRACT now reproduces the
original syntax, using the new mechanism introduced in
40c24bfef9.
The following minor changes of behavior result from the new
implementation:
- The column name from an isolated EXTRACT call is now "extract"
instead of "date_part".
- Extract from date now rejects inappropriate field names such as
HOUR. It was previously mapped internally to extract from
timestamp, so it would silently accept everything appropriate for
timestamp.
- Return values when extracting fields with possibly fractional
values, such as second and epoch, now have the full scale that the
value has internally (so, for example, '1.000000' instead of just
'1').

Commit 3e98c0bafb added pg_backend_memory_contexts view to display
the memory contexts of the backend process. However its target process
is limited to the backend that is accessing to the view. So this is
not so convenient when investigating the local memory bloat of other
backend process. To improve this situation, this commit adds
pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() function that requests to log
the memory contexts of the specified backend process.
This information can be also collected by calling
MemoryContextStats(TopMemoryContext) via a debugger. But
this technique cannot be used in some environments because no debugger
is available there. So, pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() allows us to
see the memory contexts of specified backend more easily.
Only superusers are allowed to request to log the memory contexts
because allowing any users to issue this request at an unbounded rate
would cause lots of log messages and which can lead to denial of service.
On receipt of the request, at the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(),
the target backend logs its memory contexts at LOG_SERVER_ONLY level,
so that these memory contexts will appear in the server log but not
be sent to the client. It logs one message per memory context.
Because if it buffers all memory contexts into StringInfo to log them
as one message, which may require the buffer to be enlarged very much
and lead to OOM error since there can be a large number of memory
contexts in a backend.
When a backend process is consuming huge memory, logging all its
memory contexts might overrun available disk space. To prevent this,
now this patch limits the number of child contexts to log per parent
to 100. As with MemoryContextStats(), it supposes that practical cases
where the log gets long will typically be huge numbers of siblings
under the same parent context; while the additional debugging value
from seeing details about individual siblings beyond 100 will not be large.
There was another proposed patch to add the function to return
the memory contexts of specified backend as the result sets,
instead of logging them, in the discussion. However that patch is
not included in this commit because it had several issues to address.

spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent unconditionally returned the leaf
datum as leafValue, even though in its usage for poly_ops that
value is of completely the wrong type.
In versions before 12, that was harmless because the core code did
nothing with leafValue in non-index-only scans ... but since commit
2a6368343, if we were doing a KNN-style scan, spgNewHeapItem would
unconditionally try to copy the value using the wrong datatype
parameters. Said copying is a waste of time and space if we're not
going to return the data, but it accidentally failed to fail until
I fixed the datatype confusion in ac9099fc1.
Hence, change spgNewHeapItem to not copy the datum unless we're
actually going to return it later. This saves cycles and dodges
the question of whether lossy opclasses are returning the right
type. Also change spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent to not return
data that might be of the wrong type, as insurance against
somebody introducing a similar bug into the core code in future.
It seems like a good idea to back-patch these two changes into
v12 and v13, although I'm afraid to change spgNewHeapItem's
mistaken idea of which datatype to use in those branches.
Per buildfarm results from ac9099fc1.

Through various refactorings over time, the extract(timezone_minute
from time with time zone) and extract(timezone_minute from timestamp
with time zone) implementations ended up with two different but
equally nonsensical formulas by using SECS_PER_MINUTE and
MINS_PER_HOUR interchangeably. Since those two are of course both the
same number, the formulas do work, but for readability, fix them to be
semantically correct.
According to the comments, when an invalid or dropped column oid is passed
to has_column_privilege(), the intention has always been to return NULL.
However, when the caller had table level privilege the invalid/missing
column was never discovered, because table permissions were checked first.
Fix that by introducing extended versions of pg_attribute_acl(check|mask)
and pg_class_acl(check|mask) which take a new argument, is_missing. When
is_missing is NULL, the old behavior is preserved. But when is_missing is
passed by the caller, no ERROR is thrown for dropped or missing
columns/relations, and is_missing is flipped to true. This in turn allows
has_column_privilege to check for column privileges first, providing the
desired semantics.
Not backpatched since it is a user visible behavioral change with no previous
complaints, and the fix is a bit on the invasive side.
