The buildfarm members using debug_parallel_query = regress are mostly
unhappy with this test. I guess what is happening is that rows
generated by a parallel worker are buffered, and might or might not
get to the leader before the expected error occurs. We did not see
any variability in the old version of this test because each FETCH
would succeed or fail atomically, leading to a predictable number of
rows emitted before failure. I don't find this to be a bug, just
unspecified behavior, so let's disable parallel query for this one
test case to make the results stable.
Formerly this was done with a cursor, which is problematic since
not all result-set-returning query types can be put into a cursor.
The new implementation is better integrated into other psql
features, too.

All commands accepting arguments, handling them with OT_NORMAL, OT_SQLID
or OT_SQLIDHACK, should call ignore_slash_options() in inactive branch
to scan and discard extra arguments. All the backslash commands that
handle arguments do so, except \bind.
This commit adds the missing ignore_slash_options to \bind's inactive
branch. This inconsistency is a logic bug, however the behavior happens
to be unchanged as any extra arguments are discarded later in
HandleSlashCmds(), so no backpatch is done.
While on it, this adds \bind to the list of backslash commands where
inactive \if branches are checked in the tests for psql.

This function was originally coded with a handmade expansion
of the array subscripts. We can do it a little faster and far
more legibly today, by using unnest() WITH ORDINALITY.
While at it, let's apply the rowcount estimation support that exists
for the underlying unnest() function: reduce the default ROWS estimate
to 100 and attach array_unnest_support. I'm not sure that
array_unnest_support can do anything useful today with the call sites
that exist in information_schema, but it can't hurt, and the existing
default rowcount of 1000 is surely much too high for any of these
cases.
The psql.sql regression script is using _pg_expandarray() as a
test case for \sf+. While we could keep doing so, the new one-line
function body makes a poor test case for \sf+ row-numbering, so
switch it to print another information_schema function.

Default privileges are represented as NULL::aclitem[] in catalog ACL
columns, while revoking all privileges leaves an empty aclitem[].
These two cases used to produce identical output in psql meta-commands
like \dp. Using something like "\pset null '(default)'" as a
workaround for spotting the difference did not work, because null
values were always displayed as empty strings by describe.c's
meta-commands.
This patch improves that with two changes:
1. Print "(none)" for empty privileges so that the user is able to
distinguish them from default privileges, even without special
workarounds.
2. Remove the special handling of null values in describe.c,
so that "\pset null" is honored like everywhere else.
(This affects all output from these commands, not only ACLs.)
The privileges shown by \dconfig+ and \ddp as well as the column
privileges shown by \dp are not affected by change #1, because the
respective aclitem[] is reset to NULL or deleted from the catalog
instead of leaving an empty array.

SetResultVariables() was not getting called when "printing" a result
that failed (see around PrintQueryResult), which would cause some
variables to not be set, like ROW_COUNT, SQLSTATE or ERROR. This can be
confusing as a previous result would be retained.
This state could be reached when failing to process tuples in a few
commands, like \gset when it returns no tuples, or \crosstabview. A
test is added, based on \gset.
This is arguably a bug fix, but no backpatch is done as there is a risk
of breaking scripts that rely on the previous behavior, even if they do

shortcomings that you can't see the ADMIN option nor the grantor.
To fix this, remove the "Member of" column from \du/\dg altogether

shows one row for each role granted to the selected role(s), with

exec_parse_message() wants to create a cached plan in all cases,
including for empty input. The empty-input path does not have
a test for being in an aborted transaction, making it possible
that plancache.c will fail due to trying to do database lookups
even though there's no real work to do.
One solution would be to throw an aborted-transaction error in
this path too, but it's not entirely clear whether the lack of
such an error was intentional or whether some clients might be
relying on non-error behavior. Instead, let's hack plancache.c
so that it treats empty statements with the same logic it

psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name
patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in
'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number
of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d
foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'. In v14,
as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0, we
instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named
'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin
Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form
db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using
them as arguments to \d.
Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains
more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's
exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.
That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just
myschema.mytable, but otherdb.myschema.mytable is an error, and so
is some.random.garbage.myschema.mytable.

Plain \dconfig is basically equivalent to SHOW except that you can
give it a pattern with wildcards, either to match multiple GUCs or
because you don't exactly remember the name you want.
\dconfig+ adds type, context, and access-privilege information,
mainly because every other kind of object privilege has a psql command
to show it, so GUC privileges should too. (A form of this command was
in some versions of the patch series leading up to commit a0ffa885e.
We pulled it out then because of doubts that the design and code were
up to snuff, but I think subsequent work has resolved that.)

Adds a BRIN opclass using a Bloom filter to summarize the range. Indexes
using the new opclasses allow only equality queries (similar to hash
indexes), but that works fine for data like UUID, MAC addresses etc. for
which range queries are not very common. This also means the indexes
work for data that is not well correlated to physical location within
the table, or perhaps even entirely random (which is a common issue with
existing BRIN minmax opclasses).
It's possible to specify opclass parameters with the usual Bloom filter
parameters, i.e. the desired false-positive rate and the expected number
of distinct values per page range.
CREATE TABLE t (a int);
CREATE INDEX ON t
USING brin (a int4_bloom_ops(false_positive_rate = 0.05,
n_distinct_per_range = 100));
The opclasses do not operate on the indexed values directly, but compute
a 32-bit hash first, and the Bloom filter is built on the hash value.
Collisions should not be a huge issue though, as the number of distinct
values in a page ranges is usually fairly small.
