This adds a new option called BGWORKER_BYPASS_ROLELOGINCHECK to the
flags available to BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnection() and
BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnectionByOid().
This gives the possibility to bgworkers to bypass the role login check,
making possible the use of a role that has no login rights while not
being a superuser. PostgresInit() gains a new flag called
INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ROLE_LOGIN, taking advantage of the refactoring done in
4800a5dfb4.
Regression tests are added to worker_spi to check the behavior of this
new option with bgworkers.

As reported in bug #18057, the extension unaccent removes in its rule
file whitespace characters that are intentionally specified when
building unaccent.rules from UnicodeData.txt, causing an incorrect
translation for some characters like numeric symbols. This is caused by
the fact that all whitespaces before and after the origin and target
characters are all discarded (this limitation is documented).
This commit makes possible the use of quotes around target characters,
so as whitespaces can be considered part of target characters. Some
target characters use a double quote, these require an extra double
quote.
The documentation is updated to show how to use quoted areas,
generate_unaccent_rules.py is updated to generate unaccent.rules and a
couple of tests are added for numeric symbols. While working on this
patch, I have implemented a fake rule file to test the parsing logic
implemented, which is not included here as it would just consume extra
cycles in the tests, and it requires the manipulation of an installation
tree to be able to work correctly.
As this requires a change of format in unaccent.rules, this cannot be
backpatched, unfortunately. The idea to use double quotes as escaped
characters comes from Tom Lane.

would be to watch for the presence of a certain event in

present, or to watch an index creation and stop when the
index is created.
This adds a min_rows=MIN parameter to \watch which can be

stop executing when it returns less than MIN rows.

We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints.
We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as
adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and
creating tables LIKE other tables. We also spawn not-null constraints
for inheritance child tables when their parents have primary keys.
These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of
conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some
adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't
match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it,
instead matching by column name that they apply to. This means we don't
require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy.
For now, we omit them for system catalogs. Maybe this is worth
reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses
either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is
already large and complicated enough.)
psql shows these constraints in \d+.
pg_dump requires some ad-hoc hacks, particularly when dumping a primary
key. We now create one "throwaway" not-null constraint for each column
in the PK together with the CREATE TABLE command, and once the PK is
created, all those throwaway constraints are removed. This avoids
having to check each tuple for nullness when the dump restores the
primary key creation.
pg_upgrading from an older release requires a somewhat brittle procedure
to create a constraint state that matches what would be created if the
database were being created fresh in Postgres 17. I have tested all the
scenarios I could think of, and it works correctly as far as I can tell,
but I could have neglected weird cases.
This patch has been very long in the making. The first patch was
written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value
('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one
was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead:
manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard
development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design
(mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as
well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK
expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current
implementation uses contype='n' again. During Postgres 16 this had
already been introduced by commit e056c557ae, but there were some
problems mainly with the pg_upgrade procedure that couldn't be fixed in
reasonable time, so it was reverted.
In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no
consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to
the letter of the standard, requiring an additional pg_attribute column
to track the OID of the not-null constraint for that column.

The source code comment already said that the presence of the field
element_types.domain_default might be a bug in the standard, since it
never made sense there. Indeed, the field is gone in newer versions
of the standard. So just remove it.
This was disabled in commit 6f80a8d9c due to the lack of support for
handling of pseudoconstant quals assigned to replaced joins in
createplan.c. To re-allow it, this patch adds the support by 1)
modifying the ForeignPath and CustomPath structs so that if they
represent foreign and custom scans replacing a join with a scan, they
store the list of RestrictInfo nodes to apply to the join, as in
JoinPaths, and by 2) modifying create_scan_plan() in createplan.c so
that it uses that list in that case, instead of the baserestrictinfo
list, to get pseudoconstant quals assigned to the join, as mentioned in
the commit message for that commit.
Important item for the release notes: this is non-backwards-compatible
since it modifies the ForeignPath and CustomPath structs, as mentioned
above, and changes the argument lists for FDW helper functions
create_foreignscan_path(), create_foreign_join_path(), and
create_foreign_upper_path().

Currently, the names of the custom wait event must be registered for
each backend, requiring all these to link to the shared memory area of
an extension, even if these are not loaded with
shared_preload_libraries.
This patch relaxes the constraints related to this infrastructure by
storing the wait events and their names in two dynamic hash tables in
shared memory. This has the advantage to simplify the registration of
custom wait events to a single routine call that returns an event ID
ready for consumption:
uint32 WaitEventExtensionNew(const char *wait_event_name);
The caller of this routine can then cache locally the ID returned, to be
used for pgstat_report_wait_start(), WaitLatch() or a similar routine.
The implementation uses two hash tables: one with a key based on the
event name to avoid duplicates and a second using the event ID as key
for event lookups, like on pg_stat_activity. These tables can hold a
minimum of 16 entries, and a maximum of 128 entries, which should be plenty
enough.
The code changes done in worker_spi show how things are simplified (most
of the code removed in this commit comes from there):
- worker_spi_init() is gone.
- No more shared memory hooks required (size requested and
initialization).
- The custom wait event ID is cached in the process that needs to set
it, with one single call to WaitEventExtensionNew() to retrieve it.
Per suggestion from Andres Freund.

This commit switches the client-side data generation from INSERT queries
to COPY for the two tables pgbench_branches and pgbench_tellers.
pgbench_accounts was already using COPY.
COPY is a better interface for bulk loading or high latency connections
(this point can be countered with the option for server-side data
generation, still client-side is the default), and measurements have
proved that using it for these two other tables can lead to improvements
during initialization. I did not notice slowdowns at large scale
numbers on a local setup, either, most of the work happening for the
accounts table.
Previously COPY was only used for the pgbench_accounts table because the
amount of data was much larger than the two other tables. The code is
refactored so as all three tables use the same code path to execute the
COPY queries, with a callback to build data rows.

With the addition of INHERIT and SET options for role grants,
the historical display of role memberships in \du/\dg is woefully
inadequate. Besides those options, there are pre-existing
shortcomings that you can't see the ADMIN option nor the grantor.
To fix this, remove the "Member of" column from \du/\dg altogether
(making that output usefully narrower), and invent a new meta-command
"\drg" that is specifically for displaying role memberships. It
shows one row for each role granted to the selected role(s), with
the grant options and grantor.
We would not normally back-patch such a feature addition post

they accept "expressions" not "scalar expressions". I think that
that phrasing was meant to say that they don't work on set-returning
expressions, but that's not the common meaning of "scalar".
Revise the description of row-constructor comparisons to make it
perhaps a bit less confusing. (This partially reverts some
dubious wording changes made by commit f56651519.)
Per gripe from Ilya Nenashev. Back-patch to supported branches.
In HEAD and v16, also drop a NOTE about pre-8.2 behavior, which
is hopefully no longer of interest to anybody.

By default, pg_archivecleanup does not remove backup history files.
These are just few bytes useful for debugging purposes, still keeping
them around can bloat an archive path history files mixed with the WAL
segments if the path has a long history.
This patch adds a new option to control if backup history files are
removed, depending on the oldest segment name to keep around.
While on it, the TAP tests are refactored so as these are now able to
handle lists of files. Each file has a flag to track if it should still
exist or not depending on the oldest segment defined with the command
run.

Presently, the privilege check for SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION checks
whether the original authenticated role was a superuser at
connection start time. Even if the role loses the superuser
attribute, its existing sessions are permitted to change session
authorization to any role.
This commit modifies this privilege check to verify the original
authenticated role currently has superuser. In the event that the
authenticated role loses superuser within a session authorization
change, the authorization change will remain in effect, which means
the user can still take advantage of the target role's privileges.
However, [RE]SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION will only permit switching
to the original authenticated role.

Until now, when DROP DATABASE got interrupted in the wrong moment, the removal
of the pg_database row would also roll back, even though some irreversible
steps have already been taken. E.g. DropDatabaseBuffers() might have thrown
out dirty buffers, or files could have been unlinked. But we continued to
allow connections to such a corrupted database.
To fix this, mark databases invalid with an in-place update, just before
starting to perform irreversible steps. As we can't add a new column in the
back branches, we use pg_database.datconnlimit = -2 for this purpose.
An invalid database cannot be connected to anymore, but can still be
dropped.
Unfortunately we can't easily add output to psql's \l to indicate that some
database is invalid, it doesn't fit in any of the existing columns.
Add tests verifying that a interrupted DROP DATABASE is handled correctly in
the backend and in various tools.

The DEFAULT parameter seems most similar to the NULL parameter, so
move it next to it, instead of having it at the end of the parameter
list because it was the last one added.
Comments in src/backend/libpq/auth.c say: (after successfully finding
the final DN to check the user-supplied password against)
/* Unbind and disconnect from the LDAP server */
and later
/*
* Need to re-initialize the LDAP connection, so that we can bind to
* it with a different username.
*/
But the protocol actually permits multiple subsequent authentications
("binds") over a single connection.
So, it seems like the whole connection re-initialization thing was
just a confusion and can be safely removed, thus saving quite a few
network round-trips, especially for the case of ldaps/starttls.

This is useful to show the allocation state of huge pages when setting
up a server with "huge_pages = try", where allocating huge pages would
be attempted but the server would continue its startup sequence even if
the allocation fails. The effective status of huge pages is not easily
visible without OS-level tools (or for instance, a lookup at
/proc/N/smaps), and the environments where Postgres runs may not
authorize that. Like the other GUCs related to huge pages, this works
for Linux and Windows.
This GUC can report as values:
- "on", if huge pages were allocated.
- "off", if huge pages were not allocated.
- "unknown", a special state that could only be seen when using for
example postgres -C because it is only possible to know if the shared
memory allocation worked after we can check for the GUC values, even if
checking a runtime-computed GUC. This value should never be seen when
querying for the GUC on a running server. An assertion is added to
check that.
The discussion has also turned around having a new function to grab this
status, but this would have required more tricks for -DEXEC_BACKEND,
something that GUCs already handle.

The documentation and the code is generated automatically from a new
file called wait_event_names.txt, formatted in sections dedicated to
each wait event class (Timeout, Lock, IO, etc.) with three tab-separated
fields:
- C symbol in enums
- Format in the system views
- Description in the docs
Using this approach has several advantages, as we have proved to be
rather bad in maintaining this area of the tree across the years:
- The order of each item in the documentation and the code, which should
be alphabetical, has become incorrect multiple times, and the script
generating the code and documentation has a few rules to enforce that,
making the maintenance a no-brainer.
- Some wait events were added to the code, but not documented, so this
cannot be missed now.
- The order of the tables for each wait event class is enforced in the
documentation (the input .txt file does so as well for clarity, though
this is not mandatory).
- Less code, shaving 1.2k lines from the tree, with 1/3 of the savings
coming from the code, the rest from the documentation.
The wait event types "Lock" and "LWLock" still have their own code path
for their code, hence only the documentation is created for them. These
classes are listed with a special marker called WAIT_EVENT_DOCONLY in
the input file.
Adding a new wait event now requires only an update of
wait_event_names.txt, with "Lock" and "LWLock" treated as exceptions.

The following routines are added to libpq:
PGresult *PQclosePrepared(PGconn *conn, const char *stmt);
PGresult *PQclosePortal(PGconn *conn, const char *portal);
int PQsendClosePrepared(PGconn *conn, const char *stmt);
int PQsendClosePortal(PGconn *conn, const char *portal);
The "send" routines are non-blocking versions of the two others.
Close messages are part of the protocol but they did not have a libpq
implementation. And, having these routines is for instance useful with
connection poolers as these can detect more easily Close messages
than DEALLOCATE queries.
The implementation takes advantage of what the Describe routines rely on
for portals and statements. Some regression tests are added in
libpq_pipeline, for the four new routines, by closing portals and
statements created already by the tests.

ff9618e82a introduced has_partition_ancestor_privs(), which is used
to check whether a user has MAINTAIN on any partition ancestors.
This involves syscache lookups, and presently this function does
not take any relation locks, so it is likely subject to the same
kind of cache lookup failures that were fixed by 19de0ab23c.
To fix this problem, this commit partially reverts ff9618e82a.
Specifically, it removes the partition-related changes, including
the has_partition_ancestor_privs() function mentioned above. This
means that MAINTAIN on a partitioned table is no longer sufficient
to perform maintenance commands on its partitions. This is more
like how privileges for maintenance commands work on supported
versions. Privileges are checked for each partition, so a command
that flows down to all partitions might refuse to process them
(e.g., if the current user doesn't have MAINTAIN on the partition).
In passing, adjust a few related comments and error messages, and
add a test for the privilege checks for CLUSTER on a partitioned
table.
