When we are altering a text search configuration, we are getting the
tuple from pg_ts_config and using its OID, so use TSConfigRelationId
when invoking any post-alter hooks and setting the object address.
Further, in the functions called from AlterTSConfiguration(), we're
saving information about the command via
EventTriggerCollectAlterTSConfig(), so we should be setting
commandCollected to true. Also add a regression test to
test_ddl_deparse for ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION.

Having a WITH OIDS specification should result in the creation of an OID
column, but commit b943f502b broke that in the case that there were LIKE
tables without OIDS. Commentary in that patch makes it look like this was
intentional, but if so it was based on a faulty reading of what inheritance
does: the parent tables can add an OID column, but they can't subtract one.
AFAICS, the behavior ought to be that you get an OID column if any of the
inherited tables, LIKE tables, or WITH clause ask for one.
Also, revert that patch's unnecessary split of transformCreateStmt's loop
over the tableElts list into two passes. That seems to have been based on
a misunderstanding as well: we already have two-pass processing here,
we don't need three passes.

When the input value to a CoerceToDomain expression node is a read-write
expanded datum, we should pass a read-only pointer to any domain CHECK
expressions and then return the original read-write pointer as the
expression result. Previously we were blindly passing the same pointer to
all the consumers of the value, making it possible for a function in CHECK
to modify or even delete the expanded value. (Since a plpgsql function
will absorb a passed-in read-write expanded array as a local variable
value, it will in fact delete the value on exit.)
A similar hazard of passing the same read-write pointer to multiple
consumers exists in domain_check() and in ExecEvalCase, so fix those too.
The fix requires adding MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly calls at the appropriate
places, which is simple enough except that we need to get the data type's
typlen from somewhere. For the domain cases, solve this by redefining
DomainConstraintRef.tcache as okay for callers to access; there wasn't any
reason for the original convention against that, other than not wanting the
API of typcache.c to be any wider than it had to be. For CASE, there's
no good solution except to add a syscache lookup during executor start.

When dblink uses a postgres_fdw server name for its connection, it
is possible for the connection to have options that are invalid
with dblink (e.g. "updatable"). The recommended way to avoid this
problem is to use dblink_fdw servers instead. However there are use
cases for using postgres_fdw, and possibly other FDWs, for dblink
connection options, therefore protect against trying to use any
options that do not apply by using is_valid_dblink_option() when
building the connection string from the options.

is_valid_dblink_option() did not yet exist, and neither did

In an attempt to simplify the tsquery matching engine, the original
phrase search patch invented rewrite rules that would rearrange a
tsquery so that no AND/OR/NOT operator appeared below a PHRASE operator.
But this approach had numerous problems. The rearrangement step was
missed by ts_rewrite (and perhaps other places), allowing tsqueries
to be created that would cause Assert failures or perhaps crashes at
execution, as reported by Andreas Seltenreich. The rewrite rules
effectively defined semantics for operators underneath PHRASE that were
buggy, or at least unintuitive. And because rewriting was done in
tsqueryin() rather than at execution, the rearrangement was user-visible,
which is not very desirable --- for example, it might cause unexpected
matches or failures to match in ts_rewrite.
As a somewhat independent problem, the behavior of nested PHRASE operators
was only sane for left-deep trees; queries like "x <-> (y <-> z)" did not
behave intuitively at all.
To fix, get rid of the rewrite logic altogether, and instead teach the
tsquery execution engine to manage AND/OR/NOT below a PHRASE operator
by explicitly computing the match location(s) and match widths for these
operators.
This requires introducing some additional fields into the publicly visible
ExecPhraseData struct; but since there's no way for third-party code to
pass such a struct to TS_phrase_execute, it shouldn't create an ABI problem
as long as we don't move the offsets of the existing fields.
Another related problem was that index searches supposed that "!x <-> y"
could be lossily approximated as "!x & y", which isn't correct because
the latter will reject, say, "x q y" which the query itself accepts.
This required some tweaking in TS_execute_ternary along with the main
tsquery engine.
Back-patch to 9.6 where phrase operators were introduced. While this
could be argued to change behavior more than we'd like in a stable branch,
we have to do something about the crash hazards and index-vs-seqscan
inconsistency, and it doesn't seem desirable to let the unintuitive
behaviors induced by the rewriting implementation stand as precedent.

When CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW acts on an existing view, don't update the
view options until after the view query has been updated.
This is necessary in the case where CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW is used on
an existing view that is not updatable, and the new view is updatable
and specifies the WITH CHECK OPTION. In this case, attempting to apply
the new options to the view before updating its query fails, because
the options are applied using the ALTER TABLE infrastructure which
checks that WITH CHECK OPTION is only applied to an updatable view.
If new columns are being added to the view, that is also done using
the ALTER TABLE infrastructure, but it is important that that still be
done before updating the view query, because the rules system checks
that the query columns match those on the view relation. Added a
comment to explain that, in case someone is tempted to move that to
where the view options are now being set.

The distance of a removed phrase operator should propagate up to a
parent phrase operator if there is one, but this only worked correctly
in left-deep trees. Throwing in a few parentheses confused it completely,
as indeed was illustrated by bizarre results in existing regression test
cases.
To fix, track unaccounted-for distances that should propagate to the left
and to the right of the current node, rather than trying to make it work
with only one returned distance.
Also make some adjustments to behave as well as we can for cases of
intermixed phrase and regular (AND/OR) operators. I don't think it's
possible to be 100% correct for that without a rethinking of the tsquery
representation; for example, maybe we should just not drop stopword nodes
at all underneath phrase operators. But this is better than it was,
and changing tsquery representation wouldn't be safely back-patchable.
While at it, I simplified the API of the clean_fakeval_intree function
a bit by getting rid of the "char *result" output parameter; that wasn't
doing anything that wasn't redundant with whether the result node is
NULL or not, and testing for NULL seems a lot clearer/safer.
This is part of a larger project to fix various infelicities in the
phrase-search implementation, but this part seems comittable on its own.

This case wasn't thought through sufficiently in commit 100340e2d.
It's true that the FK proves that every outer row has a match in the
inner table, but we forgot that some of the inner rows might be filtered
away by WHERE conditions located within the semijoin's RHS.
If the RHS is just one table, we can reasonably take the semijoin
selectivity as equal to the fraction of the referenced table's rows
that are expected to survive its restriction clauses.
If the RHS is a join, it's not clear how much of the referenced table
might get through the join, so fall back to the same rule we were
already using for other outer-join cases: use the minimum of the
regular per-clause selectivity estimates. This gives the same result
as if we hadn't considered the FK at all when there's a single FK
column, but it should still help for multi-column FKs, which is the
case that 100340e2d is really meant to help with.

Previously num_sync could be set to zero and this setting caused

Also setting num_sync to zero is nonsense because it's basically

make transaction commits wait for any standbys,
synchronous_standby_names should be emptied to disable synchronous
replication instead of setting num_sync to zero.

This is a trivial update (consisting in fact only in the addition of
a comment). The point is just to get back to being synced with an
official release of tzcode, rather than some ad-hoc point in their
commit history, which is where commit 1f87181e1 left it.
The existing tests in preprocess_minmax_aggregates() usually prevent it
from trying to do anything with queries containing CTEs, but there's an
exception: a CTE could be present as a member of an appendrel, if we
flattened a UNION ALL that contains CTE references. If it did try to
generate an optimized path for a query using a CTE, it failed with
"could not find plan for CTE", as reported by Torsten Förtsch.
The proximate cause is an unwise decision in commit 3fc6e2d7f to clear
subroot->cte_plan_ids in build_minmax_path(). That left the subroot's
cte_plan_ids list out of step with its parse->cteList.
Removing the "subroot->cte_plan_ids = NIL;" assignment is enough to let
the case work again, but really it's pretty silly to be expending any
cycles at all in this module when there are CTEs: we always treat their
outputs as unordered so there's no way for the optimization to win.
Hence, also add an early-exit test so we don't waste time like that.

PLy_generate_spi_exceptions neglected to do Py_INCREF on the new exception
objects, evidently supposing that PyModule_AddObject would do that --- but
it doesn't. This left us in a situation where a Python garbage collection
cycle could result in deletion of exception object(s), causing server
crashes or wrong answers if the exception objects are used later in the
session.
In addition, PLy_generate_spi_exceptions didn't bother to test for
a null result from PyErr_NewException, which at best is inconsistent
with the code in PLy_add_exceptions. And PLy_add_exceptions, while it
did do Py_INCREF on the exceptions it makes, waited to do that till
after some PyModule_AddObject calls, creating a similar risk for
failure if garbage collection happened within those calls.
To fix, refactor to have just one piece of code that creates an
exception object and adds it to the spiexceptions module, bumping the
refcount first.
Also, let's add an additional refcount to represent the pointer we're
going to store in a C global variable or hash table. This should only
matter if the user does something weird like delete the spiexceptions
Python module, but lack of paranoia has caused us enough problems in
PL/Python already.
The fact that PyModule_AddObject doesn't do a Py_INCREF of its own
explains the need for the Py_INCREF added in commit 4c966d920, so we
can improve the comment about that; also, this means we really want
to do that before not after the PyModule_AddObject call.

expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type() reported the exprType() and
exprTypmod() values of the expressions in the first row of the VALUES as
being the column type/typmod returned by the VALUES RTE. That's fine for
the data type, since we coerce all expressions in a column to have the same
common type. But we don't coerce them to have a common typmod, so it was
possible for rows after the first one to return values that violate the
claimed column typmod. This leads to the incorrect result seen in bug
#14448 from Hassan Mahmood, as well as some other corner-case misbehaviors.
The desired behavior is the same as we use in other type-unification
cases: report the common typmod if there is one, but otherwise return -1
indicating no particular constraint.
We fixed this in HEAD by deriving the typmods during transformValuesClause
and storing them in the RTE, but that's not a feasible solution in the back
branches. Instead, just use a brute-force approach of determining the
correct common typmod during expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type().
Simple testing says that that doesn't really cost much, at least not in
common cases where expandRTE() is only used once per query. It turns out
that get_rte_attribute_type() is typically never used at all on VALUES
RTEs, so the inefficiency there is of no great concern.

array_position and its cousin array_positions were caching the element
type equality function's FmgrInfo without being careful enough to put it

it becomes a problem. The fix is to ensure that the type's equality

Apart from record types, the only other case that seems complex enough

Previously, it was thought that this only needed to be done for the

But that's not safe, because during crash recovery we might replay
XLOG_DBASE_CREATE or XLOG_TBLSPC_CREATE record which recursively
removes the directory that contains the new init fork. So log it
always.
The user-visible effect of this bug is that if you create a database

checkpointing, then restart, accessing the table will fail, because
the it won't have been properly reset. This commit fixes that.

Ancient oversight in PageOutput(): if popen() fails, we'd better reset
the SIGPIPE handler before returning stdout, because ClosePager() won't.
Noticed while fixing the empty-PAGER issue.
If the PAGER environment variable is set but contains an empty string,
psql would pass it to "sh" which would silently exit, causing whatever
query output we were printing to vanish entirely. This is quite
mystifying; it took a long time for us to figure out that this was the
cause of Joseph Brenner's trouble report. Rather than allowing that
to happen, we should treat this as another way to specify "no pager".
(We could alternatively treat it as selecting the default pager, but
it seems more likely that the former is what the user meant to achieve
by setting PAGER this way.)
Nonempty, but all-white-space, PAGER values have the same behavior, and
it's pretty easy to test for that, so let's handle that case the same way.
Most other cases of faulty PAGER values will result in the shell printing
some kind of complaint to stderr, which should be enough to diagnose the
problem, so we don't need to work harder than this. (Note that there's
been an intentional decision not to be very chatty about apparent failure
returns from the pager process, since that may happen if, eg, the user
quits the pager with control-C or some such. I'd just as soon not start
splitting hairs about which exit codes might merit making our own report.)

Previously, a prepared statement created via a Parse message could get

only be performed with a prepared statement by PREPARE, but in fact
one created by a Prepare message works just as well. Therefore, it
makes no sense to allow parallel query in one case but not the other.
To fix, allow parallel query with all prepared statements, but run
the parallel plan serially (i.e. without workers) in the case of
CREATE TABLE .. AS EXECUTE. Also, document this.

This reverts commit 4e01ecae98.
Per Tom Lane, changing the definition of StringInfoData amounts to an
ABI break, which is unacceptable in back branches.
The previously code worked OK as long as a Gather node was never
rescanned, or if it was rescanned, as long as it got at least as
many workers on rescan as it had originally. But if the number
of workers ever decreased on a rescan, then it could crash.

Previously gin_desc() displayed incorrect output "unknown action 0"
for XLOG_GIN_INSERT and XLOG_GIN_VACUUM_DATA_LEAF_PAGE records with
valid actions. The cause of this problem was that gin_desc() wrongly
used XLogRecGetData() to extract data from those records.
Since they were registered by XLogRegisterBufData(), gin_desc() should
have used XLogRecGetBlockData(), instead, like gin_redo().
Also there were other differences about how to treat XLOG_GIN_INSERT
record between gin_desc() and gin_redo().
This commit fixes gin_desc() routine so that it treats those records
in the same way as gin_redo().
Batch-patch to 9.5 where WAL record format was revamped and
XLogRegisterBufData() was added.

transformOnConflictClause incremented p_next_resno while generating the
phony targetlist for the EXCLUDED pseudo-rel. Then that field got
incremented some more during transformTargetList, possibly leading to
free_parsestate concluding that we'd overrun the allowed length of a tlist,
as reported by Justin Pryzby.
We could fix this by resetting p_next_resno to 1 after using it for the
EXCLUDED pseudo-rel tlist, but it seems easier and less coupled to other
places if we just don't use that field at all in this loop. (Note that
this doesn't change anything about the resnos that end up appearing in
the main target list, because those are all replaced with target-column
numbers by updateTargetListEntry.)
In passing, fix incorrect type OID assigned to the whole-row Var for
"EXCLUDED.*" (somehow this escaped having any bad consequences so far,
but it's certainly wrong); remove useless assignment to var->location;
pstrdup the column names in case of a relcache flush; and improve
nearby comments.
Back-patch to 9.5 where ON CONFLICT was introduced.

This has no effect in the most conventional case, where no relevant DLL
uses a debug build. For an example where it does matter, given a debug
build of MIT Kerberos, the krb_server_keyfile parameter usually had no
effect. Since nobody wants a Heisenbug, back-patch to 9.2 (all
supported versions).

In accordance with its own documentation, invoke CloseHandle() only when
directed in the documentation for the function that furnished the
handle. GetModuleHandle() does not so direct. We have been issuing
this call only in the rare event that a CRT DLL contains no "_putenv"
symbol, so lack of bug reports is uninformative. Back-patch to 9.2 (all
supported versions).

Replace use of plain 0 as a null pointer constant. In comments, update
terminology and lessen redundancy. Back-patch to 9.2 (all supported
versions) for the convenience of back-patching the next two commits.

Our documentation states that our maximum field size is 1 GB, and that
our maximum row size of 1.6 TB. However, while this might be attainable
in theory with enough contortions, it is not workable in practice; for
starters, pg_dump fails to dump tables containing rows larger than 1 GB,
even if individual columns are well below the limit; and even if one
does manage to manufacture a dump file containing a row that large, the
server refuses to load it anyway.
This commit enables dumping and reloading of such tuples, provided two
conditions are met:
1. no single column is larger than 1 GB (in output size -- for bytea
this includes the formatting overhead)
2. the whole row is not larger than 2 GB
There are three related changes to enable this:
a. StringInfo's API now has two additional functions that allow creating
a string that grows beyond the typical 1GB limit (and "long" string).
ABI compatibility is maintained. We still limit these strings to 2 GB,
though, for reasons explained below.
b. COPY now uses long StringInfos, so that pg_dump doesn't choke
trying to emit rows longer than 1GB.
c. heap_form_tuple now uses the MCXT_ALLOW_HUGE flag in its allocation
for the input tuple, which means that large tuples are accepted on
input. Note that at this point we do not apply any further limit to the
input tuple size.
The main reason to limit to 2 GB is that the FE/BE protocol uses 32 bit
length words to describe each row; and because the documentation is
ambiguous on its signedness and libpq does consider it signed, we cannot
use the highest-order bit. Additionally, the StringInfo API uses "int"
(which is 4 bytes wide in most platforms) in many places, so we'd need
to change that API too in order to improve, which has lots of fallout.
Backpatch to 9.5, which is the oldest that has
MemoryContextAllocExtended, a necessary piece of infrastructure. We
could apply to 9.4 with very minimal additional effort, but any further
than that would require backpatching "huge" allocations too.
This is the largest set of changes we could find that can be
back-patched without breaking compatibility with existing systems.
Fixing a bigger set of problems (for example, dumping tuples bigger than
2GB, or dumping fields bigger than 1GB) would require changing the FE/BE
protocol and/or changing the StringInfo API in an ABI-incompatible way,
neither of which would be back-patchable.

Per bug #14441 from Mark Pether, the documentation could be misread,
mainly because some of the examples failed to show what happens with
a multicharacter "characters to trim" string. Also, while the text
description in most of these entries was fairly clear that the
"characters" argument is a set of characters not a substring to match,
some of them used variant wording that was a bit less clear.
trim() itself suffered from both deficiencies and was thus pretty
misinterpretable.
Also fix failure to explain which of LEADING/TRAILING/BOTH is the
default.
