Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several
new abstractions are needed. Specifically:
1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by
introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for
individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from
HeapScanDesc.
The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been
replaced with a table_ version.
There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned
a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's
table_scan_getnextslot(). But note that heap_getnext() lives on,
it's still used widely to access catalog tables.
This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan,
scan_getnextslot callbacks.
2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need
to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve
that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize}
callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new
ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs.
As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented,
block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are
provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate,
intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and
table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These
operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc.
3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and
there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to
store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a
sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be
subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap).
The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin,
reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to
retrieve an indexed tuple. Note that index_fetch_tuple
implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the
tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the
currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if
appropriate.
Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue
to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename
that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't
have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going
through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext
calls and working directly with HeapTuples).
Index scans now store the result of a search in
IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the
target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner.
To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further
callbacks have been introduced:
a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating
slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs
type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based
upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign
tables, etc.
While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the
call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit
also would have been needed to be adapted for
table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile.
b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is
currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few
places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a
slot (which in heap's case internally has that information).
Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed:
I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now
internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While
systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the
foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with
slots.
The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all
scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

access/hash is the place for the hash index AM, not really appropriate

This introduces the concept of table access methods, i.e. CREATE
ACCESS METHOD ... TYPE TABLE and
CREATE TABLE ... USING (storage-engine).
No table access functionality is delegated to table AMs as of this
commit, that'll be done in following commits.
Subsequent commits will incrementally abstract table access
functionality to be routed through table access methods. That change
is too large to be reviewed & committed at once, so it'll be done
incrementally.
Docs will be updated at the end, as adding them incrementally would
likely make them less coherent, and definitely is a lot more work,
without a lot of benefit.
Table access methods are specified similar to index access methods,
i.e. pg_am.amhandler returns, as INTERNAL, a pointer to a struct with
callbacks. In contrast to index AMs that struct needs to live as long
as a backend, typically that's achieved by just returning a pointer to
a constant struct.
Psql's \d+ now displays a table's access method. That can be disabled
with HIDE_TABLEAM=true, which is mainly useful so regression tests can
be run against different AMs. It's quite possible that this behaviour
still needs to be fine tuned.
For now it's not allowed to set a table AM for a partitioned table, as
we've not resolved how partitions would inherit that. Disallowing
allows us to introduce, if we decide that's the way forward, such a
behaviour without a compatibility break.

The original setup for dependencies of partitioned objects had
serious problems:
1. It did not verify that a drop cascading to a partition-child object
also cascaded to at least one of the object's partition parents. Now,
normally a child object would share all its dependencies with one or
another parent (e.g. a child index's opclass dependencies would be shared
with the parent index), so that this oversight is usually harmless.
But if some dependency failed to fit this pattern, the child could be
dropped while all its parents remain, creating a logically broken
situation. (It's easy to construct artificial cases that break it,
such as attaching an unrelated extension dependency to the child object
and then dropping the extension. I'm not sure if any less-artificial
cases exist.)
2. Management of partition dependencies during ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION
was complicated and buggy; for example, after detaching a partition
table it was possible to create cases where a formerly-child index
should be dropped and was not, because the correct set of dependencies
had not been reconstructed.
Less seriously, because multiple partition relationships were
represented identically in pg_depend, there was an order-of-traversal
dependency on which partition parent was cited in error messages.
We also had some pre-existing order-of-traversal hazards for error
messages related to internal and extension dependencies. This is
cosmetic to users but causes testing problems.
To fix#1, add a check at the end of the partition tree traversal
to ensure that at least one partition parent got deleted. To fix#2,
establish a new policy that partition dependencies are in addition to,
not instead of, a child object's usual dependencies; in this way
ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION need not cope with adding or removing the
usual dependencies.
To fix the cosmetic problem, distinguish between primary and secondary
partition dependency entries in pg_depend, by giving them different
deptypes. (They behave identically except for having different
priorities for being cited in error messages.) This means that the
former 'I' dependency type is replaced with new 'P' and 'S' types.
This also fixes a longstanding bug that after handling an internal
dependency by recursing to the owning object, findDependentObjects
did not verify that the current target was now scheduled for deletion,
and did not apply the current recursion level's objflags to it.
Perhaps that should be back-patched; but in the back branches it
would only matter if some concurrent transaction had removed the
internal-linkage pg_depend entry before the recursive call found it,
or the recursive call somehow failed to find it, both of which seem
unlikely.
Catversion bump because the contents of pg_depend change for
partitioning relationships.
Patch HEAD only. It's annoying that we're not fixing #2 in v11,
but there seems no practical way to do so given that the problem
is exactly a poor choice of what entries to put in pg_depend.
We can't really fix that while staying compatible with what's
in pg_depend in existing v11 installations.

Rename/repurpose pg_proc.protransform as "prosupport". The idea is
still that it names an internal function that provides knowledge to
the planner about the behavior of the function it's attached to;
but redesign the API specification so that it's not limited to doing
just one thing, but can support an extensible set of requests.
The original purpose of simplifying a function call is handled by
the first request type to be invented, SupportRequestSimplify.
Adjust all the existing transform functions to handle this API,
and rename them fron "xxx_transform" to "xxx_support" to reflect
the potential generalization of what they do. (Since we never
previously provided any way for extensions to add transform functions,
this change doesn't create an API break for them.)
Also add DDL and pg_dump support for attaching a support function to a
user-defined function. Unfortunately, DDL access has to be restricted
to superusers, at least for now; but seeing that support functions
will pretty much have to be written in C, that limitation is just
theoretical. (This support is untested in this patch, but a follow-on
patch will add cases that exercise it.)

We were failing to set conislocal correctly for constraints in
partitions after partition detach, leading to those constraints becoming
undroppable. Fix by setting the flag correctly. Existing databases
might contain constraints with the conislocal wrongly set to false, for
partitions that were detached; this situation should be fixable by
applying an UPDATE on pg_constraint to set conislocal true. This
problem should otherwise be innocuous and should disappear across a
dump/restore or pg_upgrade.
Secondarily, when constraint drop was attempted in a partitioned table,
ATExecDropConstraint would try to recurse to partitions after doing
performDeletion() of the constraint in the partitioned table itself; but
since the constraint in the partitions are dropped by the initial call
of performDeletion() (because of following dependencies), the recursion
step would fail since it would not find the constraint, causing the
whole operation to fail. Fix by preventing recursion.

Historically, the notices output by DROP CASCADE tended to come out
in uncertain order, and in some cases you might get different claims
about which object depends on which other one. This is because we
just traversed the dependency tree in the order in which pg_depend
entries are seen, and nbtree has never promised anything about the
order of equal-keyed index entries. We've put up with that for years,
hacking regression tests when necessary to prevent them from emitting
unstable output. However, it's a problem for pending work that will
change nbtree's behavior for equal keys, as that causes unexpected
changes in the regression test results.
Hence, adjust findDependentObjects to sort the results of each
indexscan before processing them. The sort is on descending OID of
the dependent objects, hence more or less reverse creation order.
While this rule could still result in bogus regression test failures
if an OID wraparound occurred mid-test, that seems unlikely to happen
in any plausible development or packaging-test scenario.
This is enough to ensure output stability for ordinary DROP CASCADE
commands, but not for DROP OWNED BY, because that has a different
code path with the same problem. We might later choose to sort in
the DROP OWNED BY code as well, but this patch doesn't do so.
I've also not done anything about reverting the existing hacks to
suppress unstable DROP CASCADE output in specific regression tests.
It might be worth undoing those, but it seems like a distinct question.
The first indexscan loop in findDependentObjects is not touched,
meaning there is a hazard of unstable error reports from that too.
However, said hazard is not the fault of that code: it was designed
on the assumption that there could be at most one "owning" object
to complain about, and that assumption does not seem unreasonable.
The recent patch that added the possibility of multiple
DEPENDENCY_INTERNAL_AUTO links broke that assumption, but we should
fix that situation not band-aid around it. That's a matter for
another patch, though.

My commit 3de241dba8 introduced some code to create a clone of a
foreign key to a partition, but I put it in pg_constraint.c because it
was too close to the contents of the pg_constraint row. With the
previous commit that split out the constraint tuple deconstruction into
its own routine, it makes more sense to have the FK-cloning function in
tablecmds.c, mostly because its static subroutine can then be used by a
future bugfix.
My initial posting of this patch had this routine as static in
tablecmds.c, but sadly this function is already part of the Postgres 11
ABI as exported from pg_constraint.c, so keep it as exported also just
to avoid breaking any possible users of it.
My commit 3de241dba8 introduced some code (in tablecmds.c) to obtain
data from a pg_constraint row for a foreign key, that already existed in
ri_triggers.c. Split it out into its own routine in pg_constraint.c,
where it naturally belongs.
No functional code changes, only code movement.
Backpatch to pg11, because a future bugfix is simpler after this.
A cascaded drop might find independent reasons to drop both a table
and some column of the table (for instance, a schema drop might include
dropping a data type used in some table in the schema). Depending on
the order of visitation of pg_depend entries, we might report the
table column and the whole table as separate objects-to-be-dropped,
or we might only report the table. This is confusing and leads to
unstable regression test output, so fix it to report only the table
regardless of visitation order.
Per gripe from Peter Geoghegan. This is just cosmetic from a user's
standpoint, and we haven't actually seen regression test problems in
practice (yet), so I'll refrain from back-patching.

Attempting to use a temporary table within a two-phase transaction is
forbidden for ages. However, there have been uncovered grounds for
a couple of other object types and commands which work on temporary
objects with two-phase commit. In short, trying to create, lock or drop
an object on a temporary schema should not be authorized within a
two-phase transaction, as it would cause its state to create
dependencies with other sessions, causing all sorts of side effects with
the existing session or other sessions spawned later on trying to use
the same temporary schema name.
Regression tests are added to cover all the grounds found, the original
report mentioned function creation, but monitoring closer there are many
other patterns with LOCK, DROP or CREATE EXTENSION which are involved.
One of the symptoms resulting in combining both is that the session
which used the temporary schema is not able to shut down completely,
waiting for being able to drop the temporary schema, something that it
cannot complete because of the two-phase transaction involved with
temporary objects. In this case the client is able to disconnect but
the session remains alive on the backend-side, potentially blocking
connection backend slots from being used. Other problems reported could
also involve server crashes.

heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used
headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's
problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level
details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more
problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage
- it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely
afterwards.
heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the
HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though
HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here
seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where
necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState.
Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts
of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that
it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal
were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring
parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to
lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem
bad.
As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a
significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite
probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

Instead of running a SQL script to create the standard conversion
functions and pg_conversion entries, put those entries into the
initial data in postgres.bki.
This shaves a few percent off the runtime of initdb, and also allows
accurate comments to be attached to the conversion functions; the
previous script labeled them with machine-generated comments that
were not quite right for multi-purpose conversion functions.
Also, we can get rid of the duplicative Makefile and MSVC perl
implementations of the generation code for that SQL script.
A functional change is that these pg_proc and pg_conversion entries
are now "pinned" by initdb. Leaving them unpinned was perhaps a
good thing back while the conversions feature was under development,
but there seems no valid reason for it now.
Also, the conversion functions are now marked as immutable, where
before they were volatile by virtue of lacking any explicit
specification. That seems like it was just an oversight.
To avoid using magic constants in pg_conversion.dat, extend

The SQL spec says that sql_identifier is a domain over varchar,
but it also says that that domain is supposed to represent the set
of valid identifiers for the implementation, in particular applying
a length limit matching the implementation's identifier length limit.
We were declaring sql_identifier as just "character varying", thus
duplicating what the spec says about base type, but entirely failing
at the rest of it.
Instead, let's declare sql_identifier as a domain over type "name".
(We can drop the COLLATE "C" added by commit 6b0faf723, since that's
now implicit in "name".) With the recent improvements to name's
comparison support, there's not a lot of functional difference between
name and varchar. So although in principle this is a spec deviation,
it's a pretty minor one. And correctly enforcing PG's name length limit
is a good thing; on balance this seems closer to the intent of the spec
than what we had.
But that's all just language-lawyering. The *real* reason to do this is
that it makes sql_identifier columns exposed by information_schema views
be just direct representations of the underlying "name" catalog columns,
eliminating a semantic mismatch that was disastrous for performance of
typical queries on the information_schema. In combination with the
recent change to allow dropping no-op CoerceToDomain nodes, this allows
(for example) queries such as
select ... from information_schema.tables where table_name = 'foo';
to produce an indexscan rather than a seqscan on pg_class.

within a schema, since the spec doesn't expect function name overloading.)
Simply truncating the concatenation result to fit in "name" won't do,
since losing part of the OID might wind up giving non-unique results.
Instead, let's truncate the function name as necessary.
The most practical way to do that is to do it in a C function; the
information_schema.sql script doesn't have easy access to the value
of NAMEDATALEN, nor does it have an easy way to truncate on the basis
of resulting byte-length rather than number of characters.
(There are still a couple of places that cast concatenation results to
sql_identifier, but as far as I can see they are guaranteed not to produce
over-length strings, at least with the normal value of NAMEDATALEN.)

Up to now we allowed text columns in system catalogs to use collation
"default", but that isn't really safe because it might mean something
different in template0 than it means in a database cloned from template0.
In particular, this could mean that cloned pg_statistic entries for such
columns weren't entirely valid, possibly leading to bogus planner
estimates, though (probably) not any outright failures.
In the wake of commit 5e0928005, a better solution is available: if we
label such columns with "C" collation, then their pg_statistic entries
will also use that collation and hence will be valid independently of
the database collation.
This also provides a cleaner solution for indexes on such columns than
the hack added by commit 0b28ea79c: the indexes will naturally inherit
"C" collation and don't have to be forced to use text_pattern_ops.
Also, with the planned improvement of type "name" to be collation-aware,
this policy will apply cleanly to both text and name columns.
Because of the pg_statistic angle, we should also apply this policy
to the tables in information_schema. This patch does that by adjusting
information_schema's textual domain types to specify "C" collation.
That has the user-visible effect that order-sensitive comparisons to
textual information_schema view columns will now use "C" collation
by default. The SQL standard says that the collation of those view
columns is implementation-defined, so I think this is legal per spec.
At some point this might allow for translation of such comparisons
into indexable conditions on the underlying "name" columns, although
additional work will be needed before that can happen.

When partitioned tables were introduced, we failed to realize that by
copying the tablespace handling for other relation kinds with no
physical storage we were causing the secondary effect that their
partitions would not automatically inherit the tablespace setting. This
is surprising and unhelpful, so change it to adopt the behavior
introduced in pg11 (commit 33e6c34c32) for partitioned indexes: the
parent relation remembers the tablespace specification, which is then
used for any new partitions that don't declare one.
Because this commit changes behavior of the TABLESPACE clause for
partitioned tables (it's no longer a no-op), it is not backpatched.

The changes I made in 578b229718 assigned oids below
FirstBootstrapObjectId to objects in include/catalog/*.dat files that
did not have an oid assigned, starting at the max oid explicitly
assigned. Tom criticized that for mainly two reasons:
1) It's not clear which values are manually and which explicitly
assigned.
2) The space below FirstBootstrapObjectId gets pretty crowded, and
some PostgreSQL forks have used oids >= 9000 for their own objects,
to avoid conflicting.
Thus create a new range for objects not assigned explicit oids, but
assigned by genbki.pl. For now 1-9999 is for explicitly assigned oids,
FirstGenbkiObjectId (10000) to FirstBootstrapObjectId (1200) -1 is for
genbki.pl assigned oids, and < FirstNormalObjectId (16384) is for oids
assigned during bootstrap. It's possible that we'll have to adjust
these boundaries, but there's some headroom for now.
Add a note suggesting that oids in forks should be assigned in the
9000-9999 range.

Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction
of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column,
but as part of the tuple header.
This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd,
as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important
parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the
oid column by default.
The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a
significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That
already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make
table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating
that "specialness" significantly.
WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0).
Remove it.
Removing includes:
- CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be
WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out)
- pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will
issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column).
- restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when
restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column)
- COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids.
- pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH
OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first.
- Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like
plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed.
The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false)
for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of
support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that
do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them.
The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This
commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally
declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the
newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column
naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously
requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via
HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column.
The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in
genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest
oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above
FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the
special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed.
Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all
backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For
the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for
the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog
tables).
The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns
means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded
by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid,
previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid
column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either
have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the
line.
While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the
scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this
now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit
after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other
patches.

This commit completes the work prepared in 1a0586de36, splitting the
old TupleTableSlot implementation (which could store buffer, heap,
minimal and virtual slots) into four different slot types. As
described in the aforementioned commit, this is done with the goal of
making tuple table slots extensible, to allow for pluggable table
access methods.
To achieve runtime extensibility for TupleTableSlots, operations on
slots that can differ between types of slots are performed using the
TupleTableSlotOps struct provided at slot creation time. That
includes information from the size of TupleTableSlot struct to be
allocated, initialization, deforming etc. See the struct's definition
for more detailed information about callbacks TupleTableSlotOps.
I decided to rename TTSOpsBufferTuple to TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple and
ExecCopySlotTuple to ExecCopySlotHeapTuple, as that seems more
consistent with other naming introduced in recent patches.
There's plenty optimization potential in the slot implementation, but
according to benchmarking the state after this commit has similar
performance characteristics to before this set of changes, which seems
sufficient.
There's a few changes in execReplication.c that currently need to poke
through the slot abstraction, that'll be repaired once the pluggable
storage patchset provides the necessary infrastructure.

Upcoming work intends to allow pluggable ways to introduce new ways of
storing table data. Accessing those table access methods from the
executor requires TupleTableSlots to be carry tuples in the native
format of such storage methods; otherwise there'll be a significant
conversion overhead.
Different access methods will require different data to store tuples
efficiently (just like virtual, minimal, heap already require fields
in TupleTableSlot). To allow that without requiring additional pointer
indirections, we want to have different structs (embedding
TupleTableSlot) for different types of slots. Thus different types of
slots are needed, which requires adapting creators of slots.
The slot that most efficiently can represent a type of tuple in an
executor node will often depend on the type of slot a child node
uses. Therefore we need to track the type of slot is returned by
nodes, so parent slots can create slots based on that.
Relatedly, JIT compilation of tuple deforming needs to know which type
of slot a certain expression refers to, so it can create an
appropriate deforming function for the type of tuple in the slot.
But not all nodes will only return one type of slot, e.g. an append
node will potentially return different types of slots for each of its
subplans.
Therefore add function that allows to query the type of a node's
result slot, and whether it'll always be the same type (whether it's
fixed). This can be queried using ExecGetResultSlotOps().
The scan, result, inner, outer type of slots are automatically
inferred from ExecInitScanTupleSlot(), ExecInitResultSlot(),
left/right subtrees respectively. If that's not correct for a node,
that can be overwritten using new fields in PlanState.
This commit does not introduce the actually abstracted implementation
of different kind of TupleTableSlots, that will be left for a followup
commit. The different types of slots introduced will, for now, still
use the same backing implementation.
While this already partially invalidates the big comment in
tuptable.h, it seems to make more sense to update it later, when the
different TupleTableSlot implementations actually exist.

This patch fixes several related cases in which pg_shdepend entries were
never made, or were lost, for references to roles appearing in the ACLs of
schemas and/or types. While that did no immediate harm, if a referenced
role were later dropped, the drop would be allowed and would leave a
dangling reference in the object's ACL. That still wasn't a big problem
for normal database usage, but it would cause obscure failures in
subsequent dump/reload or pg_upgrade attempts, taking the form of
attempts to grant privileges to all-numeric role names. (I think I've
seen field reports matching that symptom, but can't find any right now.)
Several cases are fixed here:
1. ALTER DOMAIN SET/DROP DEFAULT would lose the dependencies for any
existing ACL entries for the domain. This case is ancient, dating
back as far as we've had pg_shdepend tracking at all.
2. If a default type privilege applies, CREATE TYPE recorded the
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.
This dates to the addition of default privileges for types in 9.2.
3. If a default schema privilege applies, CREATE SCHEMA recorded the
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.
This dates to the addition of default privileges for schemas in v10
(commit ab89e465c).
Another somewhat-related problem is that when creating a relation
rowtype or implicit array type, TypeCreate would apply any available
default type privileges to that type, which we don't really want
since such an object isn't supposed to have privileges of its own.
(You can't, for example, drop such privileges once they've been added
to an array type.)
ab89e465c is also to blame for a race condition in the regression tests:
privileges.sql transiently installed globally-applicable default
privileges on schemas, which sometimes got absorbed into the ACLs of
schemas created by concurrent test scripts. This should have resulted
in failures when privileges.sql tried to drop the role holding such
privileges; but thanks to the bug fixed here, it instead led to dangling
ACLs in the final state of the regression database. We'd managed not to
notice that, but it became obvious in the wake of commit da906766c, which
allowed the race condition to occur in pg_upgrade tests.
To fix, add a function recordDependencyOnNewAcl to encapsulate what
callers of get_user_default_acl need to do; while the original call
sites got that right via ad-hoc code, none of the later-added ones
have. Also change GenerateTypeDependencies to generate these
dependencies, which requires adding the typacl to its parameter list.
(That might be annoying if there are any extensions calling that
function directly; but if there are, they're most likely buggy in the
same way as the core callers were, so they need work anyway.) While
I was at it, I changed GenerateTypeDependencies to accept most of its
parameters in the form of a Form_pg_type pointer, making its parameter
list a bit less unwieldy and mistake-prone.
The test race condition is fixed just by wrapping the addition and
removal of default privileges into a single transaction, so that that
state is never visible externally. We might eventually prefer to
separate out tests of default privileges into a script that runs by
itself, but that would be a bigger change and would make the tests
run slower overall.
Back-patch relevant parts to all supported branches.

There was no code to handle foreign key constraints on partitioned
tables in the case of ALTER TABLE DETACH; and if you happened to ATTACH
a partition that already had an equivalent constraint, that one was
ignored and a new constraint was created. Adding this to the fact that
foreign key cloning reuses the constraint name on the partition instead
of generating a new name (as it probably should, to cater to SQL
standard rules about constraint naming within schemas), the result was a
pretty poor user experience -- the most visible failure was that just
detaching a partition and re-attaching it failed with an error such as
ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pg_constraint_conrelid_contypid_conname_index"
DETAIL: Key (conrelid, contypid, conname)=(26702, 0, test_result_asset_id_fkey) already exists.
because it would try to create an identically-named constraint in the
partition. To make matters worse, if you tried to drop the constraint
in the now-independent partition, that would fail because the constraint
was still seen as dependent on the constraint in its former parent
partitioned table:
ERROR: cannot drop inherited constraint "test_result_asset_id_fkey" of relation "test_result_cbsystem_0001_0050_monthly_2018_09"
This fix attacks the problem from two angles: first, when the partition
is detached, the constraint is also marked as independent, so the drop
now works. Second, when the partition is re-attached, we scan existing
constraints searching for one matching the FK in the parent, and if one
exists, we link that one to the parent constraint. So we don't end up
with a duplicate -- and better yet, we don't need to scan the referenced
table to verify that the constraint holds.
To implement this I made a small change to previously planner-only
struct ForeignKeyCacheInfo to contain the constraint OID; also relcache
now maintains the list of FKs for partitioned tables too.

Originally committed as 15bc038f (plus some follow-ups), this was
reverted in 28e07270 due to a problem discovered in parallel
workers. This new version corrects that problem by sending the
list of uncommitted enum values to parallel workers.
Here follows the original commit message describing the change:
To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep
uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we
can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction.
Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE
from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target
enum type had been created in the current transaction. This patch
removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum
value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created
in the same transaction as the value. Per discussion, this should be
a bit less onerous. It does require each function that could possibly
return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction,
but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

This is slightly more complex than one would expect because of the

Upcoming changes introduce further types of tuple table slots, in
preparation of making table storage pluggable. New storage methods
will have different representation of tuples, therefore the slot
accessor should refer explicitly to heap tuples.
Instead of just renaming the functions, split it into one function
that accepts heap tuples not residing in buffers, and one accepting
ones in buffers. Previously one function was used for both, but that
was a bit awkward already, and splitting will allow us to represent

We have two code paths for initializing the tuple descriptor for a new
index: For a normal index, we copy the tuple descriptor from the table
and reset a number of fields that are not applicable to indexes. For an
expression index, we make a blank tuple descriptor and fill in the
needed fields based on the provided expressions. As pg_attribute has
grown over time, the number of fields that we need to reset in the first
case is now bigger than the number of fields we actually want to copy,
so it's sensible to do it the other way around: Make a blank descriptor
and copy just the fields we need. This also allows more code sharing
between the two branches, and it avoids having to touch this code for
almost every unrelated change to the pg_attribute structure.

It's been true for a long time that we expect names of table and domain
constraints to be unique among the constraints of that table or domain.
However, the enforcement of that has been pretty haphazard, and it missed
some corner cases such as creating a CHECK constraint and then an index
constraint of the same name (as per recent report from André Hänsel).
Also, due to the lack of an actual unique index enforcing this, duplicates
could be created through race conditions.
Moreover, the code that searches pg_constraint has been quite inconsistent
about how to handle duplicate names if one did occur: some places checked
and threw errors if there was more than one match, while others just
processed the first match they came to.
To fix, create a unique index on (conrelid, contypid, conname). Since
either conrelid or contypid is zero, this will separately enforce
uniqueness of constraint names among constraints of any one table and any
one domain. (If we ever implement SQL assertions, and put them into this
catalog, more thought might be needed. But it'd be at least as reasonable
to put them into a new catalog; having overloaded this one catalog with
two kinds of constraints was a mistake already IMO.) This index can replace
the existing non-unique index on conrelid, though we need to keep the one
on contypid for query performance reasons.
Having done that, we can simplify the logic in various places that either
coped with duplicates or neglected to, as well as potentially improve
lookup performance when searching for a constraint by name.
Also, as per our usual practice, install a preliminary check so that you
get something more friendly than a unique-index violation report in the
case complained of by André. And teach ChooseIndexName to avoid choosing
autogenerated names that would draw such a failure.
While it's not possible to make such a change in the back branches,
it doesn't seem quite too late to put this into v11, so do so.

Commit dafa084, added in 10, made the removal of temporary orphaned
tables more aggressive. This commit makes an extra step into the
aggressiveness by adding a flag in each backend's MyProc which tracks
down any temporary namespace currently in use. The flag is set when the
namespace gets created and can be reset if the temporary namespace has
been created in a transaction or sub-transaction which is aborted. The
flag value assignment is assumed to be atomic, so this can be done in a
lock-less fashion like other flags already present in PGPROC like
databaseId or backendId, still the fact that the temporary namespace and
table created are still locked until the transaction creating those
commits acts as a barrier for other backends.
This new flag gets used by autovacuum to discard more aggressively
orphaned tables by additionally checking for the database a backend is
connected to as well as its temporary namespace in-use, removing
orphaned temporary relations even if a backend reuses the same slot as
one which created temporary relations in a past session.

Backpatch: 11-, as PGPROC gains a new flag and we don't want silent ABI
breakages on already released versions.
It's necessary to make sure that owning tables have a relcache
invalidation prior to advancing the command counter to make
newly-entered catalog tuples for the index visible. inval.c must be
able to maintain the consistency of the local caches in the event of
transaction abort. There is usually only a problem when CREATE INDEX
transactions abort, since there is a generic invalidation once we reach
index_update_stats().
This bug is of long standing. Problems were made much more likely by
the addition of parallel CREATE INDEX (commit 9da0cc3528), but it is
strongly suspected that similar problems can be triggered without
involving plan_create_index_workers(). (plan_create_index_workers()
triggers a relcache build or rebuild, which previously only happened in
rare edge cases.)

To fix getObjectDescription, I made it call getRelationDescription, which
required refactoring the translatable string for the case, but is more

The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between

This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not

that setting to parentheses only, and reformats all the perl code

Brown-paper-bag bug in commit 7c91a0364: when we rearranged the placement
of "reltuples += 1" statements, we missed including one in this code path.
The net effect of that was that CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY would set the
table's pg_class.reltuples to zero, as would index builds done during
bootstrap mode. (It seems like parallel index builds ought to fail
similarly, but they don't, perhaps because reltuples is computed in some
other way. You certainly couldn't figure that out from the abysmally
underdocumented parallelism code in this area.)
I was led to this by wondering why initdb seemed to have slowed down as
a result of 7c91a0364, as is evident in the buildfarm's timing history.
The reason is that every system catalog with indexes had pg_class.reltuples
= 0 after bootstrap, causing the planner to make some terrible choices for
queries in the post-bootstrap steps. On my workstation, this fix causes
the runtime of "initdb -N" to drop from ~2.0 sec to ~1.4 sec, which is
almost though not quite back to where it was in v10. That's not much of
a deal for production use perhaps, but it makes a noticeable difference
for buildfarm and "make check-world" runs, which do a lot of initdbs.
In Catalog.pm, mark eval of a string instead of a block as allowed.
Disallow perlcritic completely in Gen_dummy_probes.pl, as it's

Protect a couple of lines in plperl code from perltidy, so that the

If a particular output file already exists with the contents it should
have, leave it alone, so that its mod timestamp is not advanced.
In builds using --enable-depend, this can avoid the need to recompile .c
files whose included files didn't actually change. It's not clear whether
it saves much of anything for users of ccache; but the cost of doing the
file comparisons seems to be negligible, so we might as well do it.
For developers using the MSVC toolchain, this will create a regression:
msvc/Solution.pm will sometimes run genbki.pl or Gen_fmgrtab.pl

Make these rules look more like the ones associated with genbki.pl,

* Use a stamp file to record when we last ran the script, instead of
relying on the timestamps of the individual output files.
* Take the knowledge out of backend/Makefile and put it in utils/Makefile
where it belongs. I moved down the handling of errcodes.h and probes.h
too, although those continue to be built by separate processes.
In itself, this is just much-needed cleanup with little practical effect.
However, by decoupling these makefile rules from the timestamps of the
generated header files, we open the door to not advancing those timestamps
unnecessarily, which will be taken advantage of by the next commit.
msvc/Solution.pm should be taught to do things similarly, but I'll leave
that for another commit.

In the wake of commit 5602265f7, we were doing duplicate-OID detection
quite inefficiently, by invoking duplicate_oids which does all the same
parsing of catalog headers and .dat files as genbki.pl does. That adds
under half a second on modern machines, but quite a bit more on slow
buildfarm critters, so it seems worth avoiding. Let's just extend
genbki.pl a little so it can also detect duplicate OIDs, and remove
the duplicate_oids call from the build process.
(This also means that duplicate OID detection will happen during
Windows builds, which AFAICS it didn't before.)
This makes the use-case for duplicate_oids a bit dubious, but it's
possible that people will still want to run that check without doing
a whole build run, so let's keep that script.
In passing, move down genbki.pl's creation of its temp output files
so that it doesn't happen until after we've done parsing and validation
of the input. This avoids leaving a lot of clutter around after a
failure.

While we're at it, let's future-proof both this script and duplicate_oids

which doesn't seem like a problem for typical manual use. It is a little

Clean up error messages relating to mistakes in .dat files: make sure they
provide the .dat file name and line number, not the place in the Perl
script that's reporting the problem. Adopt more uniform message phrasing,
too.
Make genbki.pl spit up on unrecognized field names in the input hashes.
Previously, it just silently ignored such fields, which could make a
misspelled field name into a very hard-to-decipher problem. (This is in
genbki.pl, *not* Catalog.pm, because we don't want reformat_dat_file.pl to
complain about unrecognized fields. We'd rather it silently dropped them,
to facilitate removing unwanted fields after a reorganization.)
Change things around so that proper quoting of values interpolated into
the BKI data by initdb is the responsibility of initdb, not something
we half-heartedly handle by putting double quotes into the raw BKI data.
(Note: experimentation shows that it still doesn't work to put a double
quote into the initial superuser username, but that's the fault of
inadequate quoting while interpolating the name into SQL scripts;
the BKI aspect of it works fine now.)
Having done that, we can remove the special-case handling of values
that look like "something" from genbki.pl, and instead teach it to
escape double --- and single --- quotes properly. This removes the
nowhere-documented need to treat those specially in the BKI source
data; whatever you write will be passed through unchanged into the
inserted data value, modulo Perl's rules about single-quoted strings.
Add documentation explaining the (pre-existing) handling of backslashes

Formerly, Catalog.pm turned a C array type declaration in the catalog
header files into a SQL type, e.g., 'foo[]'. Along the way, genbki.pl
turned this into '_foo' for the purpose of type lookups, but wrote 'foo[]'
to postgres.bki. During bootstrap, bootscanner.l had to have a special
case rule to tokenize this, and then MapArrayTypeName() would turn 'foo[]'
into '_foo' one more time.
This seems unnecessarily complicated, especially since nobody cares that
much about the readability of postgres.bki. Instead, make Catalog.pm
convert the C declaration into '_foo' to start with, and preserve that
representation of the type name throughout bootstrap data processing.
Then rip out the special-case code in bootscanner.l and bootstrap.c.
This changes postgres.bki to the extent that array fields are now
declared like
proconfig = _text ,
rather than
proconfig = text[] ,
No documentation update, since the SGML docs didn't mention any of this
in the first place, and it's all pretty transparent to writers of
catalog header files anyway.

During the bootstrap data format conversion, it seemed important for
verifiability's sake that the generated postgres.bki file stayed the same
as before. That resulted in adding a bunch of ad-hoc rules about when to
quote emitted data values, to match previous manual decisions that had
often quoted values unnecessarily. Now that the conversion is complete,
it seems fine to remove all those ad-hoc rules. The net actual effect on
the current contents of postgres.bki is that some fields that had been
quoted despite containing only digits or only "-" lose their unnecessary
quotes.
Also, now that genbki.pl will always quote values containing a backslash,
there's no need for bootscanner.l to allow unquoted octal escapes;
so simplify its production for "id" by removing that possibility.

83454e3c2b and a few more commits thereafter
(complete list at the end) related to MERGE feature.
While the feature was fully functional, with sufficient test coverage and
necessary documentation, it was felt that some parts of the executor and
parse-analyzer can use a different design and it wasn't possible to do that in
the available time. So it was decided to revert the patch for PG11 and retry
again in the future.
Thanks again to all reviewers and bug reporters.

When selecting a new OID, we take care to avoid picking one that's already
in use in the target table, so as not to create duplicates after the OID
counter has wrapped around. However, up to now we used SnapshotDirty when
scanning for pre-existing entries. That ignores committed-dead rows, so
that we could select an OID matching a deleted-but-not-yet-vacuumed row.
While that mostly worked, it has two problems:
* If recently deleted, the dead row might still be visible to MVCC
snapshots, creating a risk for duplicate OIDs when examining the catalogs
within our own transaction. Such duplication couldn't be visible outside
the object-creating transaction, though, and we've heard few if any field
reports corresponding to such a symptom.
* When selecting a TOAST OID, deleted toast rows definitely *are* visible
to SnapshotToast, and will remain so until vacuumed away. This leads to
a conflict that will manifest in errors like "unexpected chunk number 0
(expected 1) for toast value nnnnn". We've been seeing reports of such
errors from the field for years, but the cause was unclear before.
The fix is simple: just use SnapshotAny to search for conflicting rows.
This results in a slightly longer window before object OIDs can be
recycled, but that seems unlikely to create any large problems.

In commit 9c0a0de4c, I'd failed to notice that catalog/catalog.h
should also be considered a frontend-unsafe header, because it includes
(and needs) the full form of pg_class.h, not to mention relcache.h.
However, various frontend code was depending on it to get
TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, so refactoring of some sort is called for.
The cleanest answer seems to be to move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY,
as well as the OIDCHARS symbol, to common/relpath.h. Do that, and mop up
inclusions as necessary. (I found that quite a few current users of
catalog/catalog.h don't seem to need it at all anymore, apparently as a
result of the refactorings that created common/relpath.[hc]. And
initdb.c needed it only as a route to pg_class_d.h.)

This reverts the backend sides of commit 1fde38beaa.
I have, at least for now, left the pg_verify_checksums tool in place, as
this tool can be very valuable without the rest of the patch as well,
and since it's a read-only tool that only runs when the cluster is down
it should be a lot safer.
Traditionally, include/catalog/pg_foo.h contains extern declarations
for functions in backend/catalog/pg_foo.c, in addition to its function
as the authoritative definition of the pg_foo catalog's rowtype.
In some cases, we'd been forced to split out those extern declarations
into separate pg_foo_fn.h headers so that the catalog definitions
could be #include'd by frontend code. That problem is gone as of
commit 9c0a0de4c, so let's undo the splits to make things less
confusing.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/23690.1523031777@sss.pgh.pa.us
Historically, the initial catalog data to be installed during bootstrap
has been written in DATA() lines in the catalog header files. This had
lots of disadvantages: the format was badly underdocumented, it was
very difficult to edit the data in any mechanized way, and due to the
lack of any abstraction the data was verbose, hard to read/understand,
and easy to get wrong.
Hence, move this data into separate ".dat" files and represent it in a way
that can easily be read and rewritten by Perl scripts. The new format is
essentially "key => value" for each column; while it's a bit repetitive,
explicit labeling of each value makes the data far more readable and less
error-prone. Provide a way to abbreviate entries by omitting field values
that match a specified default value for their column. This allows removal
of a large amount of repetitive boilerplate and also lowers the barrier to
adding new columns.
Also teach genbki.pl how to translate symbolic OID references into
numeric OIDs for more cases than just "regproc"-like pg_proc references.
It can now do that for regprocedure-like references (thus solving the
problem that regproc is ambiguous for overloaded functions), operators,
types, opfamilies, opclasses, and access methods. Use this to turn
nearly all OID cross-references in the initial data into symbolic form.
This represents a very large step forward in readability and error
resistance of the initial catalog data. It should also reduce the
difficulty of renumbering OID assignments in uncommitted patches.
Also, solve the longstanding problem that frontend code that would like to
use OID macros and other information from the catalog headers often had
difficulty with backend-only code in the headers. To do this, arrange for
all generated macros, plus such other declarations as we deem fit, to be
placed in "derived" header files that are safe for frontend inclusion.
(Once clients migrate to using these pg_*_d.h headers, it will be possible
to get rid of the pg_*_fn.h headers, which only exist to quarantine code
away from clients. That is left for follow-on patches, however.)
The now-automatically-generated macros include the Anum_xxx and Natts_xxx
constants that we used to have to update by hand when adding or removing
catalog columns.
Replace the former manual method of generating OID macros for pg_type
entries with an automatic method, ensuring that all built-in types have
OID macros. (But note that this patch does not change the way that
OID macros for pg_proc entries are built and used. It's not clear that
making that match the other catalogs would be worth extra code churn.)
Add SGML documentation explaining what the new data format is and how to
work with it.
Despite being a very large change in the catalog headers, there is no
catversion bump here, because postgres.bki and related output files
haven't changed at all.

This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause
specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in
the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to
benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have
appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE
columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans.
Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag
in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause.
In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples
(tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes
now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides
generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their
attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating
that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation.
The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special
handling of B-tree indexes for that.

based on an idea proposed by Robert Haas of a "pruning program": a list
of steps generated from the query quals which are run iteratively to
obtain a list of partitions that must be scanned in order to satisfy
those quals.
At present, this targets planner-time partition pruning, but there exist

This makes it possible to turn checksums on in a live cluster, without
the previous need for dump/reload or logical replication (and to turn it
off).
Enabling checkusm starts a background process in the form of a
launcher/worker combination that goes through the entire database and
recalculates checksums on each and every page. Only when all pages have
been checksummed are they fully enabled in the cluster. Any failure of
the process will revert to checksums off and the process has to be
started.
This adds a new WAL record that indicates the state of checksums, so
the process works across replicated clusters.

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 other require multiple PL statements.
e.g.
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 and partitioned tables, including
column and row security enforcement, as well as support for
row, statement and transition triggers.
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 statically from PL/pgSQL.
MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules,
RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables.
MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016.
Includes full tests and documentation, including full
isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior.
This version written from scratch in 2017 by Simon Riggs,

Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in
a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and
disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the
default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at
the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column
(attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set
to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the
attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and
so will never need the attmissingval.
Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval
settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed.
The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which
acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing
value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will
not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this
argument.

Originally, we treated memory context names as potentially variable in
all cases, and therefore always copied them into the context header.
Commit 9fa6f00b1 rethought this a little bit and invented a distinction
between fixed and variable names, skipping the copy step for the former.
But we can make things both simpler and more useful by instead allowing
there to be two parts to a context's identification, a fixed "name" and
an optional, variable "ident". The name supplied in the context create
call is now required to be a compile-time-constant string in all cases,
as it is never copied but just pointed to. The "ident" string, if
wanted, is supplied later. This is needed because typically we want
the ident to be stored inside the context so that it's cleaned up
automatically on context deletion; that means it has to be copied into
the context before we can set the pointer.
The cost of this approach is basically just an additional pointer field
in struct MemoryContextData, which isn't much overhead, and is bought
back entirely in the AllocSet case by not needing a headerSize field
anymore, since we no longer have to cope with variable header length.
In addition, we can simplify the internal interfaces for memory context
creation still further, saving a few cycles there. And it's no longer
true that a custom identifier disqualifies a context from participating
in aset.c's freelist scheme, so possibly there's some win on that end.
All the places that were using non-compile-time-constant context names
are adjusted to put the variable info into the "ident" instead. This
allows more effective identification of those contexts in many cases;
for example, subsidary contexts of relcache entries are now identified
by both type (e.g. "index info") and relname, where before you got only
one or the other. Contexts associated with PL function cache entries
are now identified more fully and uniformly, too.
I also arranged for plancache contexts to use the query source string
as their identifier. This is basically free for CachedPlanSources, as
they contained a copy of that string already. We pay an extra pstrdup
to do it for CachedPlans. That could perhaps be avoided, but it would
make things more fragile (since the CachedPlanSource is sometimes
destroyed first). I suspect future improvements in error reporting will
require CachedPlans to have a copy of that string anyway, so it's not
clear that it's worth moving mountains to avoid it now.
This also changes the APIs for context statistics routines so that the
context-specific routines no longer assume that output goes straight
to stderr, nor do they know all details of the output format. This
is useful immediately to reduce code duplication, and it also allows
for external code to do something with stats output that's different
from printing to stderr.
The reason for pushing this now rather than waiting for v12 is that
it rethinks some of the API changes made by commit 9fa6f00b1. Seems
better for extension authors to endure just one round of API changes
not two.

VACUUM thought that reltuples represents the total number of tuples in
the relation, while ANALYZE counted only live tuples. This can cause
"flapping" in the value when background vacuums and analyzes happen
separately. The planner's use of reltuples essentially assumes that
it's the count of live (visible) tuples, so let's standardize on having
it mean live tuples.
Another issue is that the definition of "live tuple" isn't totally clear;
what should be done with INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples?
ANALYZE's choices in this regard are made on the assumption that if the
originating transaction commits at all, it will happen after ANALYZE
finishes, so we should ignore the effects of the in-progress transaction
--- unless it is our own transaction, and then we should count it.
Let's propagate this definition into VACUUM, too.
Likewise propagate this definition into CREATE INDEX, and into
contrib/pgstattuple's pgstattuple_approx() function.

My commit 4dba331cb3 that moved around CommandCounterIncrement calls
in partitioning DDL code unearthed a problem with the relcache handling
for the 'default' partition: the construction of a correct relcache
entry for the partitioned table was at the mercy of lack of CCI calls in
non-trivial amounts of code. This was prone to creating problems later
on, as the code develops. This was visible as a test failure in a
compile with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELASE (buildfarm member prion).
The problem is that after the mentioned commit it was possible to create
a relcache entry that had incomplete information regarding the default
partition because I introduced a CCI between adding the catalog entries
for the default partition (StorePartitionBound) and the update of
pg_partitioned_table entry for its parent partitioned table
(update_default_partition_oid). It seems the best fix is to move the
latter so that it occurs inside the former; the purposeful lack of
intervening CCI should be more obvious, and harder to break.
I also remove a check in RelationBuildPartitionDesc that returns NULL if
the key is not set. I couldn't find any place that needs this hack
anymore; probably it was required because of bugs that have since been
fixed.

Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as
part of a heap rewrite during DDL. Those tables don't exist externally,
so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that
information. In ab28feae2b, we worked
around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack.
This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new
field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID. By
default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the
output plugin. Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in
getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the
new field will help them get information about the actual table.

One of the things canonicalize_qual() does is to remove constant-NULL
subexpressions of top-level AND/OR clauses. It does that on the assumption
that what it's given is a top-level WHERE clause, so that NULL can be
treated like FALSE. Although this is documented down inside a subroutine
of canonicalize_qual(), it wasn't mentioned in the documentation of that
function itself, and some callers hadn't gotten that memo.
Notably, commit d007a9505 caused get_relation_constraints() to apply
canonicalize_qual() to CHECK constraints. That allowed constraint
exclusion to misoptimize situations in which a CHECK constraint had a
provably-NULL subclause, as seen in the regression test case added here,
in which a child table that should be scanned is not. (Although this
thinko is ancient, the test case doesn't fail before 9.2, for reasons
I've not bothered to track down in detail. There may be related cases
that do fail before that.)
More recently, commit f0e44751d added an independent bug by applying
canonicalize_qual() to index expressions, which is even sillier since
those might not even be boolean. If they are, though, I think this
could lead to making incorrect index entries for affected index
expressions in v10. I haven't attempted to prove that though.
To fix, add an "is_check" parameter to canonicalize_qual() to specify
whether it should assume WHERE or CHECK semantics, and make it perform
NULL-elimination accordingly. Adjust the callers to apply the right
semantics, or remove the call entirely in cases where it's not known
that the expression has one or the other semantics. I also removed
the call in some cases involving partition expressions, where it should
be a no-op because such expressions should be canonical already ...
and was a no-op, independently of whether it could in principle have
done something, because it was being handed the qual in implicit-AND
format which isn't what it expects. In HEAD, add an Assert to catch
that type of mistake in future.
This represents an API break for external callers of canonicalize_qual().
While that's intentional in HEAD to make such callers think about which
case applies to them, it seems like something we probably wouldn't be
thanked for in released branches. Hence, in released branches, the
extra parameter is added to a new function canonicalize_qual_ext(),
and canonicalize_qual() is a wrapper that retains its old behavior.

These errors have been seen in the field in corrupted-data situations.
It seems worthwhile to report them with ERRCODE_DATA_CORRUPTED, rather
than the generic ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR, for the benefit of log monitoring
and tools like amcheck. However, use errmsg_internal so that the text

In the pgoutput plugin, skip changes for relations that are not
publishable, per is_publishable_class(). This concerns in particular
materialized views and information_schema tables. While those relations
cannot be part of a publication, per existing checks, they will be
considered by a FOR ALL TABLES publication. A subscription would not
actually apply changes for those relations, again per existing checks,
but trying to match incoming changes to local tables on the subscriber
would lead to errors if no matching local table exists. Skipping those
changes on the publisher avoids sending useless changes and eliminates
the error.

If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they
must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to
unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist
within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each
index individually is enough to have it enforced globally. Therefore we
can implement unique indexes on partitions by simply removing a few
restrictions (and adding others.)

All of these are false positives, but in each case a fair amount of
analysis is needed to see that, and it's not too surprising that not all
compilers are smart enough. (In particular, in the logtape.c case, a
compiler lacking the knowledge provided by the Assert would almost surely
complain, so that this warning will be seen in any non-assert build.)
Some of these are of long standing while others are pretty recent,
but it only seems worth fixing them in HEAD.

This patch adds the ability to use "RANGE offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING"
frame boundaries in window functions. We'd punted on that back in the
original patch to add window functions, because it was not clear how to
do it in a reasonably data-type-extensible fashion. That problem is
resolved here by adding the ability for btree operator classes to provide
an "in_range" support function that defines how to add or subtract the
RANGE offset value. Factoring it this way also allows the operator class
to avoid overflow problems near the ends of the datatype's range, if it
wishes to expend effort on that. (In the committed patch, the integer
opclasses handle that issue, but it did not seem worth the trouble to
avoid overflow failures for datetime types.)
The patch includes in_range support for the integer_ops opfamily
(int2/int4/int8) as well as the standard datetime types. Support for
other numeric types has been requested, but that seems like suitable
material for a follow-on patch.
In addition, the patch adds GROUPS mode which counts the offset in
ORDER-BY peer groups rather than rows, and it adds the frame_exclusion
options specified by SQL:2011. As far as I can see, we are now fully
up to spec on window framing options.
Existing behaviors remain unchanged, except that I changed the errcode
for a couple of existing error reports to meet the SQL spec's expectation
that negative "offset" values should be reported as SQLSTATE 22013.
Internally and in relevant parts of the documentation, we now consistently
use the terminology "offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" rather than "value
PRECEDING/FOLLOWING", since the term "value" is confusingly vague.

To make this work, tuplesort.c and logtape.c must also support
parallelism, so this patch adds that infrastructure and then applies
it to the particular case of parallel btree index builds. Testing
to date shows that this can often be 2-3x faster than a serial

The model for deciding how many workers to use is fairly primitive
at present, but it's better than not having the feature. We can
refine it as we get more experience.

Remove partition_bound_cmp() and partition_bound_bsearch(), whose

three different types: PartitionBoundSpec *, PartitionRangeBound *,
Datum *.
Instead, introduce separate bound-searching functions for each

partition_range_datum_bsearch, and partition_hash_bsearch. This
requires duplicating the code for binary search, but it makes the
code much more type safe, involves fewer branches at runtime, and
at least in my opinion, is much easier to understand.
Along the way, add an option to partition_range_datum_bsearch

The old code generated always generated a constraint of the form

col = val1 OR col = val2 OR ... when there are multiple values and
col is of array type, and the old form when there are multiple values

Apparently, Peter's compiler has faith that the switch test values here
could never not be valid values of their enums. Mine does not, and
I tend to agree with it.
When an index column is an expression, it makes no sense to compare its
attribute numbers.
This seems to account for remaining buildfarm fallout from 8b08f7d482.
At least, it solves the issue in my local 32bit VM -- let's see what the
rest thinks.
AclObjectKind was basically just another enumeration for object types,
and we already have a preferred one for that. It's only used in
aclcheck_error. By using ObjectType instead, we can also give some more
precise error messages, for example "index" instead of "relation".

When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries
for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since
the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual
indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions
also.
As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some
existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of
creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become
attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it,
and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first.
To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands
CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table>
(which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without
recursing) and
ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION
(which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each
partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior

Various Perl scripts we use to generate files were in the habit of
printing things like "generated by $0" into their output files.
That looks like a fine idea at first glance, but it results in
non-reproducible output, because in VPATH builds $0 won't be just
the name of the script file, but a full path for it. We'd prefer
that you get identical results whether using VPATH or not, so this
is a bad thing.
Some of these places also printed their input file name(s), causing
an additional hazard of the same type.
Hence, establish a policy that thou shalt not print $0, nor input file
pathnames, into output files (they're still allowed in error messages,
though). Instead just write the script name verbatim. While we are at
it, we can make these annotations more useful by giving the script's
full relative path name within the PG source tree, eg instead of
Gen_fmgrtab.pl let's print src/backend/utils/Gen_fmgrtab.pl.
Not all of the changes made here actually affect any files shipped
in finished tarballs today, but it seems best to apply the policy
everyplace so that nobody copies unsafe code into places where it
could matter.

This patch makes a number of interrelated changes to reduce the overhead
involved in creating/deleting memory contexts. The key ideas are:
* Include the AllocSetContext header of an aset.c context in its first
malloc request, rather than allocating it separately in TopMemoryContext.
This means that we now always create an initial or "keeper" block in an
aset, even if it never receives any allocation requests.
* Create freelists in which we can save and recycle recently-destroyed
asets (this idea is due to Robert Haas).
* In the common case where the name of a context is a constant string,
just store a pointer to it in the context header, rather than copying
the string.
The first change eliminates a palloc/pfree cycle per context, and
also avoids bloat in TopMemoryContext, at the price that creating
a context now involves a malloc/free cycle even if the context never
receives any allocations. That would be a loser for some common
usage patterns, but recycling short-lived contexts via the freelist
eliminates that pain.
Avoiding copying constant strings not only saves strlen() and strcpy()
overhead, but is an essential part of the freelist optimization because
it makes the context header size constant. Currently we make no
attempt to use the freelist for contexts with non-constant names.
(Perhaps someday we'll need to think harder about that, but in current
usage, most contexts with custom names are long-lived anyway.)
The freelist management in this initial commit is pretty simplistic,
and we might want to refine it later --- but in common workloads that
will never matter because the freelists will never get full anyway.
To create a context with a non-constant name, one is now required to
call AllocSetContextCreateExtended and specify the MEMCONTEXT_COPY_NAME
option. AllocSetContextCreate becomes a wrapper macro, and it includes
a test that will complain about non-string-literal context name
parameters on gcc and similar compilers.
An unfortunate side effect of making AllocSetContextCreate a macro is
that one is now *required* to use the size parameter abstraction macros
(ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES and friends) with it; the pre-9.6 habit of
writing out individual size parameters no longer works unless you
switch to AllocSetContextCreateExtended.
Internally to the memory-context-related modules, the context creation
APIs are simplified, removing the rather baroque original design whereby
a context-type module called mcxt.c which then called back into the
context-type module. That saved a bit of code duplication, but not much,
and it prevented context-type modules from exercising control over the
allocation of context headers.
In passing, I converted the test-and-elog validation of aset size
parameters into Asserts to save a few more cycles. The original thought
was that callers might compute size parameters on the fly, but in practice
nobody does that, so it's useless to expend cycles on checking those
numbers in production builds.
Also, mark the memory context method-pointer structs "const",
just for cleanliness.

Non-default range partitions have a constraint which include null
tests, and both default and non-default list partitions also have a
constraint which includes null tests, but for some reason this was
missed for default range partitions. This could cause the partition

cause constraint exclusion to prune the default partition in cases

heap_drop_with_catalog and ATExecDetachPartition neglected to check for
SearchSysCache failures, as noted in bugs #14927 and #14928 from Pan Bian.
Such failures are pretty unlikely, since we should already have some sort

Also, StorePartitionKey contained a syscache lookup that it never did

On closer investigation, commits f3ea3e3e8 et al were a few bricks
shy of a load. What we need is not so much to lock down the result

it's trying to extract. Otherwise, we can break it by dropping that
column. The dependency on the result type is then held indirectly
through the column, and doesn't need to be recorded explicitly.
Out of paranoia, I left in the code to record a dependency on the

This is the last major omission in our domains feature: you can now
make a domain over anything that's not a pseudotype.
The major complication from an implementation standpoint is that places
that might be creating tuples of a domain type now need to be prepared
to apply domain_check(). It seems better that unprepared code fail
with an error like "<type> is not composite" than that it silently fail
to apply domain constraints. Therefore, relevant infrastructure like
get_func_result_type() and lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() has been adjusted
to treat domain-over-composite as a distinct case that unprepared code
won't recognize, rather than just transparently treating it the same
as plain composite. This isn't a 100% solution to the possibility of
overlooked domain checks, but it catches most places.
In passing, improve typcache.c's support for domains (it can now cache
the identity of a domain's base type), and rewrite the argument handling
logic in jsonfuncs.c's populate_record[set]_worker to reduce duplicative
per-call lookups.

find_expr_references() neglected to record a dependency on the result type
of a FieldSelect node, allowing a DROP TYPE to break a view or rule that
contains such an expression. I think we'd omitted this case intentionally,
reasoning that there would always be a related dependency ensuring that the
DROP would cascade to the view. But at least with nested field selection
expressions, that's not true, as shown in bug #14867 from Mansur Galiev.
Add the dependency, and for good measure a dependency on the node's exposed
collation.
Likewise add a dependency on the result type of a FieldStore. I think here
the reasoning was that it'd only appear within an assignment to a field,
and the dependency on the field's column would be enough ... but having
seen this example, I think that's wrong for nested-composites cases.
Looking at nearby code, I notice we're not recording a dependency on the
exposed collation of CoerceViaIO, which seems inconsistent with our choices
for related node types. Maybe that's OK but I'm feeling suspicious of this
code today, so let's add that; it certainly can't hurt.

Up to now, there's been hard-wired assumptions that normal aggregates'
final functions never modify their transition states, while ordered-set
aggregates' final functions always do. This has always been a bit
limiting, and in particular it's getting in the way of improving the
built-in ordered-set aggregates to allow merging of transition states.
Therefore, let's introduce catalog and CREATE AGGREGATE infrastructure
that lets the finalfn's behavior be declared explicitly.
There are now three possibilities for the finalfn behavior: it's purely
read-only, it trashes the transition state irrecoverably, or it changes
the state in such a way that no more transfn calls are possible but the
state can still be passed to other, compatible finalfns. There are no
examples of this third case today, but we'll shortly make the built-in
OSAs act like that.
This change allows user-defined aggregates to explicitly disclaim support
for use as window functions, and/or to prevent transition state merging,
if their implementations cannot handle that. While it was previously
possible to handle the window case with a run-time error check, there was
not any way to prevent transition state merging, which in retrospect is
something commit 804163bc2 should have provided for. But better late
than never.
In passing, split out pg_aggregate.c's extern function declarations into
a new header file pg_aggregate_fn.h, similarly to what we've done for
some other catalog headers, so that pg_aggregate.h itself can be safe
for frontend files to include. This lets pg_dump use the symbolic
names for relevant constants.

Allowing arrays with a domain type as their element type was left un-done
in the original domain patch, but not for any very good reason. This
omission leads to such surprising results as array_agg() not working on
a domain column, because the parser can't identify a suitable output type
for the polymorphic aggregate.
In order to fix this, first clean up the APIs of coerce_to_domain() and
some internal functions in parse_coerce.c so that we consistently pass
around a CoercionContext along with CoercionForm. Previously, we sometimes
passed an "isExplicit" boolean flag instead, which is strictly less
information; and coerce_to_domain() didn't even get that, but instead had
to reverse-engineer isExplicit from CoercionForm. That's contrary to the
documentation in primnodes.h that says that CoercionForm only affects
display and not semantics. I don't think this change fixes any live bugs,
but it makes things more consistent. The main reason for doing it though
is that now build_coercion_expression() receives ccontext, which it needs
in order to be able to recursively invoke coerce_to_target_type().
Next, reimplement ArrayCoerceExpr so that the node does not directly know
any details of what has to be done to the individual array elements while
performing the array coercion. Instead, the per-element processing is
represented by a sub-expression whose input is a source array element and
whose output is a target array element. This simplifies life in
parse_coerce.c, because it can build that sub-expression by a recursive
invocation of coerce_to_target_type(). The executor now handles the
per-element processing as a compiled expression instead of hard-wired code.
The main advantage of this is that we can use a single ArrayCoerceExpr to
handle as many as three successive steps per element: base type conversion,
typmod coercion, and domain constraint checking. The old code used two
stacked ArrayCoerceExprs to handle type + typmod coercion, which was pretty
inefficient, and adding yet another array deconstruction to do domain
constraint checking seemed very unappetizing.
In the case where we just need a single, very simple coercion function,
doing this straightforwardly leads to a noticeable increase in the
per-array-element runtime cost. Hence, add an additional shortcut evalfunc
in execExprInterp.c that skips unnecessary overhead for that specific form
of expression. The runtime speed of simple cases is within 1% or so of
where it was before, while cases that previously required two levels of
array processing are significantly faster.
Finally, create an implicit array type for every domain type, as we do for
base types, enums, etc. Everything except the array-coercion case seems
to just work without further effort.

Commit 15bc038f9 allowed ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE to be executed inside
transaction blocks, by disallowing the use of the added value later
in the same transaction, except under limited circumstances. However,
the test for "limited circumstances" was heuristic and could reject
references to enum values that were created during CREATE TYPE AS ENUM,
not just later. This breaks the use-case of restoring pg_dump scripts
in a single transaction, as reported in bug #14825 from Balazs Szilfai.
We can improve this by keeping a "blacklist" table of enum value OIDs
created by ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE during the current transaction. Any
visible-but-uncommitted value whose OID is not in the blacklist must
have been created by CREATE TYPE AS ENUM, and can be used safely
because it could not have a lifespan shorter than its parent enum type.
This change also removes the restriction that a renamed enum value
can't be used before being committed (unless it was on the blacklist).

The file handling functions from fd.c were called with a diverse mix of
notations for the file permissions when they were opening new files.
Almost all files created by the server should have the same permissions
set. So change the API so that e.g. OpenTransientFile() automatically
uses the standard permissions set, and OpenTransientFilePerm() is a new
function that takes an explicit permissions set for the few cases where
it is needed. This also saves an unnecessary argument for call sites
that are just opening an existing file.
While we're reviewing these APIs, get rid of the FileName typedef and
use the standard const char * for the file name and mode_t for the file
mode. This makes these functions match other file handling functions
and removes an unnecessary layer of mysteriousness. We can also get rid
of a few casts that way.

making a copy of pass-by-ref datum values that it's inserting into Consts.

If you do ALTER COLUMN SET NOT NULL against an inheritance parent table,
it will recurse to mark all the child columns as NOT NULL as well. This
is necessary for consistency: if the column is labeled NOT NULL then
reading it should never produce nulls.
However, that didn't happen in the case where ALTER ... ADD PRIMARY KEY
marks a target column NOT NULL that wasn't before. That was questionable
from the beginning, and now Tushar Ahuja points out that it can lead to
dump/restore failures in some cases. So let's make that case recurse too.

Previously, UNBOUNDED meant no lower bound when used in the FROM list,
and no upper bound when used in the TO list, which was OK for
single-column range partitioning, but problematic with multiple
columns. For example, an upper bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED) would not be
collocated with a lower bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED), thus making it
difficult or impossible to define contiguous multi-column range
partitions in some cases.
Fix this by using MINVALUE and MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED to
represent a partition column that is unbounded below or above
respectively. This syntax removes any ambiguity, and ensures that if
one partition's lower bound equals another partition's upper bound,
then the partitions are contiguous.
Also drop the constraint prohibiting finite values after an unbounded
column, and just document the fact that any values after MINVALUE or
MAXVALUE are ignored. Previously it was necessary to repeat UNBOUNDED
multiple times, which was needlessly verbose.

Add missing infrastructure for this node type, notably in ruleutils.c where
its lack could demonstrably cause EXPLAIN to fail. Add outfuncs/readfuncs
support. (outfuncs support is useful today for debugging purposes. The
readfuncs support may never be needed, since at present it would only
matter for parallel query and NextValueExpr should never appear in a
parallelizable query; but it seems like a bad idea to have a primnode type
that isn't fully supported here.) Teach planner infrastructure that
NextValueExpr is a volatile, parallel-unsafe, non-leaky expression node
with cost cpu_operator_cost. Given its limited scope of usage, there
*might* be no live bug today from the lack of that knowledge, but it's
certainly going to bite us on the rear someday. Teach pg_stat_statements
about the new node type, too.
While at it, also teach cost_qual_eval() that MinMaxExpr, SQLValueFunction,
XmlExpr, and CoerceToDomain should be charged as cpu_operator_cost.
Failing to do this for SQLValueFunction was an oversight in my commit
0bb51aa96. The others are longer-standing oversights, but no time like the
present to fix them. (In principle, CoerceToDomain could have cost much
higher than this, but it doesn't presently seem worth trying to examine the
domain's constraints here.)
Modify execExprInterp.c to execute NextValueExpr as an out-of-line
function; it seems quite unlikely to me that it's worth insisting that
it be inlined in all expression eval methods. Besides, providing the
out-of-line function doesn't stop anyone from inlining if they want to.
Adjust some places where NextValueExpr support had been inserted with the
aid of a dartboard rather than keeping it in the same order as elsewhere.

partition_rbound_cmp() is intended to compare range partition bounds
in a way such that if all the bound values are equal but one is an
upper bound and one is a lower bound, the upper bound is treated as
smaller than the lower bound. This particular ordering is required by
RelationBuildPartitionDesc() when building the PartitionBoundInfoData,
so that it can consistently keep only the upper bounds when upper and
lower bounds coincide.
Update the function comment to make that clearer.
Also, fix a (currently unreachable) corner-case bug -- if the bound
values coincide and they contain unbounded values, fall through to the
lower-vs-upper comparison code, rather than immediately returning
0. Currently it is not possible to define coincident upper and lower
bounds containing unbounded columns, but that may change in the
future, so code defensively.

The previous logic, whilst not actually wrong, was overly complex and
involved doing two binary searches, where only one was really
necessary. This simplifies that logic and improves the comments.
One visible change is that if the new partition overlaps multiple
existing partitions, the error message now always reports the overlap
with the first existing partition (the one with the lowest
bounds). The old code would sometimes report the clash with the first
partition and sometimes with the last one.

This avoids "tuple concurrently updated" errors when a ALTER or DROP
SUBSCRIPTION writes to pg_subscription_rel at the same time as a worker.
Author: Petr Jelinek <petr.jelinek@2ndquadrant.com>
pg_import_system_collations() refused to create any ICU collations if
the current database's encoding didn't support ICU. This is wrongheaded:
initdb must initialize pg_collation in an encoding-independent way
since it might be used in other databases with different encodings.
The reason for the restriction seems to be that get_icu_locale_comment()
used icu_from_uchar() to convert the UChar-format display name, and that
unsurprisingly doesn't know what to do in unsupported encodings.
But by the same token that the initial catalog contents must be
encoding-independent, we can't allow non-ASCII characters in the comment
strings. So we don't really need icu_from_uchar() here: just check for
Unicode codes outside the ASCII range, and if there are none, the format
conversion is trivial. If there are some, we can simply not install the
comment. (In my testing, this affects only Norwegian Bokmål, which has
given us trouble before.)
For paranoia's sake, also check for non-ASCII characters in ICU locale
names, and skip such locales, as we do for libc locales. I don't
currently have a reason to believe that this will ever reject anything,
but then again the libc maintainers should have known better too.
With just the import changes, ICU collations can be found in pg_collation
in databases with unsupported encodings. This resulted in more or less
clean failures at runtime, but that's not how things act for unsupported
encodings with libc collations. Make it work the same as our traditional
behavior for libc collations by having collation lookup take into account
whether is_encoding_supported_by_icu().
Adjust documentation to match. Also, expand Table 23.1 to show which
encodings are supported by ICU.

Marco Atzeri reported that initdb would fail if "locale -a" reported
the same locale name more than once. All previous versions of Postgres
implicitly de-duplicated the results of "locale -a", but the rewrite
to move the collation import logic into C had lost that property.
It had also lost the property that locale names matching built-in
collation names were silently ignored.
The simplest way to fix this is to make initdb run the function in
if-not-exists mode, which means that there's no real use-case for
non if-not-exists mode; we might as well just drop the boolean argument
and simplify the function's definition to be "add any collations not
already known". This change also gets rid of some odd corner cases
caused by the fact that aliases were added in if-not-exists mode even
if the function argument said otherwise.
While at it, adjust the behavior so that pg_import_system_collations()
doesn't spew "collation foo already exists, skipping" messages during a
re-run; that's completely unhelpful, especially since there are often
hundreds of them. And make it return a count of the number of collations
it did add, which seems like it might be helpful.
Also, re-integrate the previous coding's property that it would make a
deterministic selection of which alias to use if there were conflicting
possibilities. This would only come into play if "locale -a" reports
multiple equivalent locale names, say "de_DE.utf8" and "de_DE.UTF-8",
but that hardly seems out of the question.
In passing, fix incorrect behavior in pg_import_system_collations()'s
ICU code path: it neglected CommandCounterIncrement, which would result
in failures if ICU returns duplicate names, and it would try to create
comments even if a new collation hadn't been created.
Also, reorder operations in initdb so that the 'ucs_basic' collation
is created before calling pg_import_system_collations() not after.
This prevents a failure if "locale -a" were to report a locale named
that. There's no reason to think that that ever happens in the wild,
but the old coding would have survived it, so let's be equally robust.

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.

changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:
* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

Viewing a table with \d in psql also shows the publications at table is
in. If a publication is concurrently dropped, this shows an error,
because the view pg_publication_tables internally uses
pg_get_publication_tables(), which uses a catalog snapshot. This can be
particularly annoying if a for-all-tables publication is concurrently
dropped.
To avoid that, write the query in psql differently. Expose the function
pg_relation_is_publishable() to SQL and write the query using that.
That still has a risk of being affected by concurrent catalog changes,
but in this case it would be a table drop that causes problems, and then
the psql \d command wouldn't be interesting anymore anyway.

When we reimplemented SRFs in commit 69f4b9c85, our initial choice was
to allow the behavior to vary from historical practice in cases where a
SRF call appeared within a conditional-execution construct (currently,
only CASE or COALESCE). But that was controversial to begin with, and
subsequent discussion has resulted in a consensus that it's better to
throw an error instead of executing the query differently from before,
so long as we can provide a reasonably clear error message and a way to
rewrite the query.
Hence, add a parser mechanism to allow detection of such cases during
parse analysis. The mechanism just requires storing, in the ParseState,
a pointer to the set-returning FuncExpr or OpExpr most recently emitted
by parse analysis. Then the parsing functions for CASE and COALESCE can
detect the presence of a SRF in their arguments by noting whether this
pointer changes while analyzing their arguments. Furthermore, if it does,
it provides a suitable error cursor location for the complaint. (This
means that if there's more than one SRF in the arguments, the error will
point at the last one to be analyzed not the first. While connoisseurs of
parsing behavior might find that odd, it's unlikely the average user would
ever notice.)
While at it, we can also provide more specific error messages than before
about some pre-existing restrictions, such as no-SRFs-within-aggregates.
Also, reject at parse time cases where a NULLIF or IS DISTINCT FROM
construct would need to return a set. We've never supported that, but the
restriction is depended on in more subtle ways now, so it seems wise to
detect it at the start.
Also, provide some documentation about how to rewrite a SRF-within-CASE
query using a custom wrapper SRF.
It turns out that the information_schema.user_mapping_options view
contained an instance of exactly the behavior we're now forbidding; but
rewriting it makes it more clear and safer too.

During pg_upgrade's restore run, all relfilenode choices should be
overridden by commands in the dump script. If we ever find ourselves
choosing a relfilenode in the ordinary way, someone blew it. Likewise for
pg_type OIDs. Since pg_upgrade might well succeed anyway, if there happens
not to be a conflict during the regression test run, we need assertions
here to keep us on the straight and narrow.
We might someday be able to remove the assertion in GetNewRelFileNode,
if pg_upgrade is rewritten to remove its assumption that old and new
relfilenodes always match. But it's hard to see how to get rid of the
pg_type OID constraint, since those OIDs are embedded in user tables
in some cases.
Back-patch as far as 9.5, because of the risk of back-patches breaking
something here even if it works in HEAD. I'd prefer to go back further,
but 9.4 fails both assertions due to get_rel_infos()'s use of a temporary
table. We can't use the later-branch solution of a CTE for compatibility
reasons (cf commit 5d16332e9), and it doesn't seem worth inventing some
other way to do the query. (I did check, by dint of changing the Asserts
to elog(WARNING), that there are no other cases of unwanted OID assignments

get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext
found a tuple. This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's
unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed.
(OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't
expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently. The behavior in a
non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.) Fix it to do what
other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog.
Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about
unexpected failure of systable_getnext. 90% of them say "could not find
tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise. Many of the
holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright
misleading since no catcache search is involved.
Per our message style guidelines, error messages incorporating the
results of format_type_be() and its siblings should not add quotes
around those results, because those functions already add quotes
at need. Fix a few places that hadn't gotten that memo.
Avoid trashing the input PartitionBoundSpec; while that might be safe for
current callers, it's certainly trouble waiting to happen. In the same
vein, make sure that all of the result data structure is freshly palloc'd,
rather than some of it being pointers into the input data structures
(which we don't know the lifespans of).
Simplify the logic for tacking on IS NULL or IS NOT NULL conditions some
more; commit 85c2b9a15 left a lot on the table there. And rearrange the
construction of the nodes into (what seems to me) a more logical order.
In passing, make sure that get_qual_for_range() also returns a freshly
palloc'd structure, since there's no value in having that guarantee for
only one kind of partitioning. And improve some comments there.

Fix failure to check that we got a plain Const from const-simplification of
a coercion request. This is the cause of bug #14666 from Tian Bing: there
is an int4 to money cast, but it's only stable not immutable (because of
dependence on lc_monetary), resulting in a FuncExpr that the code was
miserably unequipped to deal with, or indeed even to notice that it was
failing to deal with. Add test cases around this coercion behavior.
In view of the above, sprinkle the code liberally with castNode() macros,
in hope of catching the next such bug a bit sooner. Also, change some
functions that were randomly declared to take Node* to take more specific
pointer types. And change some struct fields that were declared Node*

explicit casts.

We need not consider the case where both nulltest1 and nulltest2 are
NULL; the partition either accepts nulls or it does not.
Jeevan Ladhe. I added an assertion.
This seemed like a good idea originally because there's no way to mark
a range partition as accepting NULL, but that now seems more like a
current limitation than something we want to lock down for all time.
For example, there's a proposal to add the notion of a default
partition which accepts all rows not otherwise routed, which directly
conflicts with the idea that a range-partitioned table should never
allow nulls anywhere. So let's change this while we still can, by
putting the NOT NULL test into the partition constraint instead of
changing the column properties.

Consistently refer to such an entry as a "statistics object", not just
"statistics" or "extended statistics". Previously we had a mismash of
terms, accompanied by utter confusion as to whether the term was
singular or plural. That's not only grating (at least to the ear of
a native English speaker) but could be outright misleading, eg in error
messages that seemed to be referring to multiple objects where only one
could be meant.
This commit fixes the code and a lot of comments (though I may have
missed a few). I also renamed two new SQL functions,
pg_get_statisticsextdef -> pg_get_statisticsobjdef
pg_statistic_ext_is_visible -> pg_statistics_obj_is_visible

A stats object ought to have a dependency on each individual column
it reads, not the entire table. Doing this honestly lets us get rid
of the hard-wired logic in RemoveStatisticsExt, which seems to have
been misguidedly modeled on RemoveStatistics; and it will be far easier
to extend to multiple tables later.
Also, add overlooked dependency on owner, and make the dependency on
schema be NORMAL like every other such dependency.
There remains some unfinished work here, which is to allow statistics
objects to be extension members. That takes more effort than just
adding the dependency call, though, so I left it out for now.

Per discussion, "location" is a rather vague term that could refer to

as well as yet other terms such as "wal_position". Since we've already

Formerly, the bootstrap backend looked up the OIDs corresponding to
names in regproc catalog entries using brute-force searches of pg_proc.
It was somewhat remarkable that that worked at all, since it was used
while populating other pretty-fundamental catalogs like pg_operator.
And it was also quite slow, and getting slower as pg_proc gets bigger.
This patch moves the lookup work into genbki.pl, so that the values in
postgres.bki for regproc columns are always numeric OIDs, an option
that regprocin() already supported. Perl isn't the world's speediest
language, so this about doubles the time needed to run genbki.pl (from
0.3 to 0.6 sec on my machine). But we only do that at most once per
build. The time needed to run initdb drops significantly --- on my
machine, initdb --no-sync goes from 1.8 to 1.3 seconds. So this is
a small net win even for just one initdb per build, and it becomes
quite a nice win for test sequences requiring many initdb runs.
Strip out the now-dead code for brute-force catalog searching in
regprocin. We'd also cargo-culted similar logic into regoperin
and some (not all) of the other reg*in functions. That is all
dead code too since we currently have no need to load such values
during bootstrap. I removed it all, reasoning that if we ever
need such functionality it'd be much better to do it in a similar
way to this patch.
There might be some simplifications possible in the backend now that
regprocin doesn't require doing catalog reads so early in bootstrap.
I've not looked into that, though.

This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to
provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to

A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of
objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through
execution. At this point, the only thing implemented is a
collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which
can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the
catalogs. The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but
provision is made to add more types fairly easily.
An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the
catalogs by relid.
Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience
functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code
run through SPI.
The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in
AFTER triggers, but that will be added to each PL as a separate
commit.
An incidental effect of this patch is to produce a more informative
error message if an attempt is made to modify the contents of a CTE

Change one more place where ExecInitCheck/ExecPrepareCheck's insistence
on getting implicit-AND-format quals wasn't really helpful, because the
caller had to do make_ands_implicit() for no reason that it cared about.
Using ExecPrepareExpr directly simplifies the code and saves cycles.
The only remaining use of these functions is to process
resultRelInfo->ri_PartitionCheck quals. However, implicit-AND format
does seem to be what we want for that, so leave it alone.
This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with
non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation.
Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation.
This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes
future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier.
The speed gains primarily come from:
- non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead
- simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without
function calls
- sharing some state between different sub-expressions
- reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying
out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of
nearly all of the previously used linked lists
- more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding
constant re-checks at evaluation time
Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as
demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later
release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split
between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be
handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the
generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can
easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation.
The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.:
- basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup
overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared
statements. That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where
initialization overhead is measurable.
- optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential
work has already been made.
- optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have
been made here too.
The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some
backward-incompatible changes:
- Function permission checks are now done during expression
initialization, whereas previously they were done during
execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that
previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a
different array type previously didn't perform checks.
- The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once
during expression initialization, previously it was re-built
every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this
doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches
ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer. The behavior
around might still change.

Add support for explicitly declared statistic objects (CREATE

This commit only adds support for collection of n-distinct coefficient

estimation errors there can cause over-allocation of memory in hashed

represent the commit lag that was (or would have been) introduced by each
synchronous commit level, if the remote server was configured as a
synchronous standby. For an asynchronous standby, the replay_lag column
approximates the delay before recent transactions became visible to queries.
If the standby server has entirely caught up with the sending server and

In simpler times, it might have worked to refer to all kinds of objects
by a list of name components and an optional argument list. But this
doesn't work for all objects, which has resulted in a collection of
hacks to place various other nodes types into these fields, which have
to be unpacked at the other end. This makes it also weird to represent
lists of such things in the grammar, because they would have to be lists
of singleton lists, to make the unpacking work consistently. The other
problem is that keeping separate name and args fields makes it awkward
to deal with lists of functions.
Change that by dropping the objargs field and have objname, renamed to
object, be a generic Node, which can then be flexibly assigned and
managed using the normal Node mechanisms. In many cases it will still
be a List of names, in some cases it will be a string Value, for types
it will be the existing Typename, for functions it will now use the
existing ObjectWithArgs node type. Some of the more obscure object
types still use somewhat arbitrary nested lists.

This stores a data type, required to be an integer type, with the
sequence. The sequences min and max values default to the range
supported by the type, and they cannot be set to values exceeding that
range. The internal implementation of the sequence is not affected.
Change the serial types to create sequences of the appropriate type.
This makes sure that the min and max values of the sequence for a serial
column match the range of values supported by the table column. So the
sequence can no longer overflow the table column.
This also makes monitoring for sequence exhaustion/wraparound easier,

It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive
amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque
field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility
exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls.
This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it
to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call.
(The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache,
so there's little to improve there.)
For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows
can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two.
In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime
for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated
catalog lookups are vastly more expensive.
The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is
not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to
do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert.
That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already
within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert
as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

Add CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo to let

2f5c9d9c9, by allowing some remaining simple_heap_insert/update
calls to be replaced. The abstraction layer is now complete enough
that we don't have to export CatalogIndexInsert at all anymore.
Also, this fixes several places in which 2f5c9d9c9 introduced performance
regressions by using retail CatalogTupleInsert or CatalogTupleUpdate even
though the previous coding had been able to amortize CatalogOpenIndexes
work across multiple tuples.
A possible future improvement is to arrange for the indexing.c functions

CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo again. But that's a task for another day.

This extends the work done in commit 2f5c9d9c9 to provide a more nearly
complete abstraction layer hiding the details of index updating for catalog
changes. That commit only invented abstractions for catalog inserts and
updates, leaving nearby code for catalog deletes still calling the
heap-level routines directly. That seems rather ugly from here, and it
does little to help if we ever want to shift to a storage system in which
indexing work is needed at delete time.
Hence, create a wrapper function CatalogTupleDelete(), and replace calls
of simple_heap_delete() on catalog tuples with it. There are now very
few direct calls of [simple_]heap_delete remaining in the tree.

The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye.

The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use

In commit 6c268df, pg_init_privs was added to track the initial
privileges of catalog objects and extensions. Unfortunately, that
commit didn't include understanding of ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP, which
allows the objects associated with an extension to be changed after the
initial CREATE EXTENSION script has been run.
The result of this meant that ACLs for objects added through
ALTER EXTENSION ADD were not recorded into pg_init_privs and we would
end up including those ACLs in pg_dump when we shouldn't have.
This commit corrects that by making sure to have pg_init_privs updated
when ALTER EXTENSION ADD/DROP is run, recording the permissions as they
are at ALTER EXTENSION ADD time, and removing any if/when ALTER
EXTENSION DROP is called.
This issue was pointed out by Moshe Jacobson as commentary on bug #14456
(which was actually a bug about versions prior to 9.6 not handling
custom ACLs on extensions correctly, an issue now addressed with
pg_init_privs in 9.6).
Back-patch to 9.6 where pg_init_privs was introduced.
When I wrote commit ab1f0c822, I really missed the castNode() macro that
Peter E. had proposed shortly before. This back-fills the uses I would
have put it to. It's probably not all that significant, but there are
more assertions here than there were before, and conceivably they will
help catch any bugs associated with those representation changes.
I left behind a number of usages like "(Query *) copyObject(query_var)".
Those could have been converted as well, but Peter has proposed another
notational improvement that would handle copyObject cases automatically,
so I let that be for now.
Previously, type "unknown" was labeled as a base type in pg_type, which
perhaps had some sense to it because you were allowed to create tables with
unknown-type columns. But now that we don't allow that, it makes more
sense to label it a pseudo-type. This has the additional effects of
forbidding use of "unknown" as a domain base type, cast source or target
type, PL function argument or result type, or plpgsql local variable type;
all of which seem like good holes to plug.

Previously, we left such literals alone if the query or subquery had
no properties forcing a type decision to be made (such as an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT clause using that output column). This meant that "unknown" could
be an exposed output column type, which has never been a great idea because
it could result in strange failures later on. For example, an outer query
that tried to do any operations on an unknown-type subquery output would
generally fail with some weird error like "failed to find conversion
function from unknown to text" or "could not determine which collation to
use for string comparison". Also, if the case occurred in a CREATE VIEW's
query then the view would have an unknown-type column, causing similar
failures in queries trying to use the view.
To fix, at the tail end of parse analysis of a query, forcibly convert any
remaining "unknown" literals in its SELECT or RETURNING list to type text.
However, provide a switch to suppress that, and use it in the cases of
SELECT inside a set operation or INSERT command. In those cases we already
had type resolution rules that make use of context information from outside
the subquery proper, and we don't want to change that behavior.
Also, change creation of an unknown-type column in a relation from a
warning to a hard error. The error should be unreachable now in CREATE
VIEW or CREATE MATVIEW, but it's still possible to explicitly say "unknown"
in CREATE TABLE or CREATE (composite) TYPE. We want to forbid that because
it's nothing but a foot-gun.
This change creates a pg_upgrade failure case: a matview that contains an
unknown-type column can't be pg_upgraded, because reparsing the matview's
defining query will now decide that the column is of type text, which
doesn't match the cstring-like storage that the old materialized column
would actually have. Add a checking pass to detect that. While at it,
we can detect tables or composite types that would fail, essentially
for free. Those would fail safely anyway later on, but we might as
well fail earlier.
This patch is by me, but it owes something to previous investigations
by Rahila Syed. Also thanks to Ashutosh Bapat and Michael Paquier for

According to the comments in tupconvert.c, it's necessary to perform
tuple conversion when either table has OIDs, and this was previously
checked by ensuring that the tdtypeid value matched between the tables
in question. However, that's overly stringent: we have access to
tdhasoid and can test directly whether OIDs are present, which lets us
avoid conversion in cases where the type OIDs are different but the
tuple descriptors are entirely the same (and neither has OIDs). This
is useful to the partitioning code, which can thereby avoid converting
tuples when inserting into a partition whose columns appear in the
same order as the parent columns, the normal case. It's possible
for the tuple routing code to avoid some additional overhead in this
case as well, so do that, too.
It's not clear whether it would be OK to skip this when both tables
have OIDs: do callers count on this to build a new tuple (losing the
previous OID) in such instances? Until we figure it out, leave the
behavior in that case alone.

Account for the fact that the highest bound less than or equal to the

This patch makes several changes that improve the consistency of
representation of lists of statements. It's always been the case
that the output of parse analysis is a list of Query nodes, whatever
the types of the individual statements in the list. This patch brings
similar consistency to the outputs of raw parsing and planning steps:
* The output of raw parsing is now always a list of RawStmt nodes;
the statement-type-dependent nodes are one level down from that.
* The output of pg_plan_queries() is now always a list of PlannedStmt
nodes, even for utility statements. In the case of a utility statement,
"planning" just consists of wrapping a CMD_UTILITY PlannedStmt around
the utility node. This list representation is now used in Portal and
CachedPlan plan lists, replacing the former convention of intermixing
PlannedStmts with bare utility-statement nodes.
Now, every list of statements has a consistent head-node type depending
on how far along it is in processing. This allows changing many places
that formerly used generic "Node *" pointers to use a more specific
pointer type, thus reducing the number of IsA() tests and casts needed,
as well as improving code clarity.
Also, the post-parse-analysis representation of DECLARE CURSOR is changed
so that it looks more like EXPLAIN, PREPARE, etc. That is, the contained
SELECT remains a child of the DeclareCursorStmt rather than getting flipped
around to be the other way. It's now true for both Query and PlannedStmt
that utilityStmt is non-null if and only if commandType is CMD_UTILITY.
That allows simplifying a lot of places that were testing both fields.
(I think some of those were just defensive programming, but in many places,
it was actually necessary to avoid confusing DECLARE CURSOR with SELECT.)
Because PlannedStmt carries a canSetTag field, we're also able to get rid
of some ad-hoc rules about how to reconstruct canSetTag for a bare utility
statement; specifically, the assumption that a utility is canSetTag if and
only if it's the only one in its list. While I see no near-term need for
relaxing that restriction, it's nice to get rid of the ad-hocery.
The API of ProcessUtility() is changed so that what it's passed is the
wrapper PlannedStmt not just the bare utility statement. This will affect
all users of ProcessUtility_hook, but the changes are pretty trivial; see
the affected contrib modules for examples of the minimum change needed.
(Most compilers should give pointer-type-mismatch warnings for uncorrected
code.)
There's also a change in the API of ExplainOneQuery_hook, to pass through
cursorOptions instead of expecting hook functions to know what to pick.
This is needed because of the DECLARE CURSOR changes, but really should
have been done in 9.6; it's unlikely that any extant hook functions
know about using CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK.
Finally, teach gram.y to save statement boundary locations in RawStmt
nodes, and pass those through to Query and PlannedStmt nodes. This allows
more intelligent handling of cases where a source query string contains
multiple statements. This patch doesn't actually do anything with the
information, but a follow-on patch will. (Passing this information through
cleanly is the true motivation for these changes; while I think this is all
good cleanup, it's unlikely we'd have bothered without this end goal.)

the comments per a suggestion from me.
Table partitioning is like table inheritance and reuses much of the
existing infrastructure, but there are some important differences.
The parent is called a partitioned table and is always empty; it may
not have indexes or non-inherited constraints, since those make no
sense for a relation with no data of its own. The children are called
partitions and contain all of the actual data. Each partition has an
implicit partitioning constraint. Multiple inheritance is not
allowed, and partitioning and inheritance can't be mixed. Partitions
can't have extra columns and may not allow nulls unless the parent
does. Tuples inserted into the parent are automatically routed to the
correct partition, so tuple-routing ON INSERT triggers are not needed.
Tuple routing isn't yet supported for partitions which are foreign
tables, and it doesn't handle updates that cross partition boundaries.
Currently, tables can be range-partitioned or list-partitioned. List
partitioning is limited to a single column, but range partitioning can
involve multiple columns. A partitioning "column" can be an
expression.
Because table partitioning is less general than table inheritance, it
is hoped that it will be easier to reason about properties of
partitions, and therefore that this will serve as a better foundation
for a variety of possible optimizations, including query planner
optimizations. The tuple routing based which this patch does based on
the implicit partitioning constraints is an example of this, but it
seems likely that many other useful optimizations are also possible.

deleteWhatDependsOn() had grown an uncomfortably large number of
assumptions about what it's used for. There are actually only two minor
differences between what it does and what a regular performDeletion() call
can do, so let's invent additional bits in performDeletion's existing flags
argument that specify those behaviors, and get rid of deleteWhatDependsOn()
as such. (We'd probably have done it this way from the start, except that
performDeletion didn't originally have a flags argument, IIRC.)
Also, add a SKIP_EXTENSIONS flag bit that prevents ever recursing to an
extension, and use that when dropping temporary objects at session end.
This provides a more general solution to the problem addressed in a hacky
way in commit 08dd23cec: if an extension script creates temp objects and
forgets to remove them again, the whole extension went away when its
contained temp objects were deleted. The previous solution only covered
temp relations, but this solves it for all object types.
These changes require minor additions in dependency.c to pass the flags
to subroutines that previously didn't get them, but it's still a net
savings of code, and it seems cleaner than before.
Having done this, revert the special-case code added in 08dd23cec that
prevented addition of pg_depend records for temp table extension
membership, because that caused its own oddities: dropping an extension
that had created such a table didn't automatically remove the table,
leading to a failure if the table had another dependency on the extension
(such as use of an extension data type), or to a duplicate-name failure if
you then tried to recreate the extension. But we keep the part that
prevents the pg_temp_nnn schema from becoming an extension member; we never
want that to happen. Add a regression test case covering these behaviors.
Although this fixes some arguable bugs, we've heard few field complaints,
and any such problems are easily worked around by explicitly dropping temp
objects at the end of extension scripts (which seems like good practice
anyway). So I won't risk a back-patch.

the serial-sequence case; I'm not sure if there are other cases, but there
might well be.)
To fix, revert 08dd23cec's changes to findDependentObjects() and instead
apply the creating_extension exception regardless of stack level.
Having seen this example, I'm a bit suspicious that the pendingObjects
logic is also wrong and such cases should likewise be allowed at any
recursion level. However, changing that would interact in subtle ways
with the recursion logic (at least it would need to be moved to after the
recursing-from check). Given that the code's been like that a long time,
I'll refrain from touching it without a clear example showing it's wrong.
Back-patch to all active branches. In HEAD and 9.6, where suitable
test infrastructure exists, add a regression test case based on the

Like pg_tables, pg_views, and others, this view contains information
about sequences in a way that is independent of the system catalog
layout but more comprehensive than the information schema.
To help implement the view, add a new internal function
pg_sequence_last_value() to return the last value of a sequence. This
is kept separate from pg_sequence_parameters() to separate querying
run-time state from catalog-like information.

It's not good for an inherited child constraint to be marked connoinherit;
that would result in the constraint not propagating to grandchild tables,
if any are created later. The code mostly prevented this from happening
but there was one case that was missed.
This is somewhat related to commit e55a946a8, which also tightened checks
on constraint merging. Hence, back-patch to 9.2 like that one. This isn't
so much because there's a concrete feature-related reason to stop there,
as to avoid having more distinct behaviors than we have to in this area.

Historically, we've allowed users to add a CHECK constraint to a child
table and then add an identical CHECK constraint to the parent. This
results in "merging" the two constraints so that the pre-existing
child constraint ends up with both conislocal = true and coninhcount > 0.
However, if you tried to do it in the other order, you got a duplicate
constraint error. This is problematic for pg_dump, which needs to issue
separated ADD CONSTRAINT commands in some cases, but has no good way to
ensure that the constraints will be added in the required order.
And it's more than a bit arbitrary, too. The goal of complaining about
duplicated ADD CONSTRAINT commands can be served if we reject the case of
adding a constraint when the existing one already has conislocal = true;
but if it has conislocal = false, let's just make the ADD CONSTRAINT set
conislocal = true. In this way, either order of adding the constraints
has the same end result.
Another problem was that the code allowed creation of a parent constraint
marked convalidated that is merged with a child constraint that is
!convalidated. In this case, an inheritance scan of the parent table could
emit some rows violating the constraint condition, which would be an
unexpected result given the marking of the parent constraint as validated.
Hence, forbid merging of constraints in this case. (Note: valid child and
not-valid parent seems fine, so continue to allow that.)
Per report from Benedikt Grundmann. Back-patch to 9.2 where we introduced
possibly-not-valid check constraints. The second bug obviously doesn't
apply before that, and I think the first doesn't either, because pg_dump
only gets into this situation when dealing with not-valid constraints.

We had thirty different GIN array opclasses sharing the same operators and
support functions. That still didn't cover all the built-in types, nor
did it cover arrays of extension-added types. What we want is a single
polymorphic opclass for "anyarray". There were two missing features needed
to make this possible:
1. We have to be able to declare the index storage type as ANYELEMENT
when the opclass is declared to index ANYARRAY. This just takes a few
more lines in index_create(). Although this currently seems of use only
for GIN, there's no reason to make index_create() restrict it to that.
2. We have to be able to identify the proper GIN compare function for
the index storage type. This patch proceeds by making the compare function
optional in GIN opclass definitions, and specifying that the default btree
comparison function for the index storage type will be looked up when the
opclass omits it. Again, that seems pretty generically useful.
Since the comparison function lookup is done in initGinState(), making
use of the second feature adds an additional cache lookup to GIN index
access setup. It seems unlikely that that would be very noticeable given
the other costs involved, but maybe at some point we should consider
making GinState data persist longer than it now does --- we could keep it
in the index relcache entry, perhaps.
Rather fortuitously, we don't seem to need to do anything to get this
change to play nice with dump/reload or pg_upgrade scenarios: the new
opclass definition is automatically selected to replace existing index
definitions, and the on-disk data remains compatible. Also, if a user has
created a custom opclass definition for a non-builtin type, this doesn't
break that, since CREATE INDEX will prefer an exact match to opcintype
over a match to ANYARRAY. However, if there's anyone out there with
handwritten DDL that explicitly specifies _bool_ops or one of the other
replaced opclass names, they'll need to adjust that.

Teach the parser to reject misplaced set-returning functions during parse
analysis using p_expr_kind, in much the same way as we do for aggregates
and window functions (cf commit eaccfded9). While this isn't complete
(it misses nesting-based restrictions), it's much better than the previous
error reporting for such cases, and it allows elimination of assorted
ad-hoc expression_returns_set() error checks. We could add nesting checks
later if it seems important to catch all cases at parse time.
There is one case the parser will now throw error for although previous
versions allowed it, which is SRFs in the tlist of an UPDATE. That never
behaved sensibly (since it's ill-defined which generated row should be
used to perform the update) and it's hard to see why it should not be
treated as an error. It's a release-note-worthy change though.
Also, add a new Query field hasTargetSRFs reporting whether there are
any SRFs in the targetlist (including GROUP BY/ORDER BY expressions).
The parser can now set that basically for free during parse analysis,
and we can use it in a number of places to avoid expression_returns_set
searches. (There will be more such checks soon.) In some places, this
allows decontorting the logic since it's no longer expensive to check for
SRFs in the tlist --- so I made the checks parallel to the handling of
hasAggs/hasWindowFuncs wherever it seemed appropriate.

The hack embodied in commit 4ba61a487 no longer works after today's change

I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls
had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to
especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies,
and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls
accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors
by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases.
Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts;
those two calls can be left as-is, I think.
While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party
extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can
gradually adopt the simplified notation over time.
In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation
parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was
probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create
many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a
couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various
dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason
not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts.
Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that
it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to

regexp_match() is like regexp_matches(), but it disallows the 'g' flag

Per discussion, we should provide such functions to replace the lost
ability to discover AM properties by inspecting pg_am (cf commit
65c5fcd35). The added functionality is also meant to displace any code
that was looking directly at pg_index.indoption, since we'd rather not
believe that the bit meanings in that field are part of any client API
contract.
As future-proofing, define the SQL API to not assume that properties that
are currently AM-wide or index-wide will remain so unless they logically
must be; instead, expose them only when inquiring about a specific index
or even specific index column. Also provide the ability for an index
AM to override the behavior.

The original specification for this called for the deserialization function
to have signature "deserialize(serialtype) returns transtype", which is a
security violation if transtype is INTERNAL (which it always would be in
practice) and serialtype is not (which ditto). The patch blithely overrode
the opr_sanity check for that, which was sloppy-enough work in itself,
but the indisputable reason this cannot be allowed to stand is that CREATE
FUNCTION will reject such a signature and thus it'd be impossible for
extensions to create parallelizable aggregates.
The minimum fix to make the signature type-safe is to add a second, dummy
argument of type INTERNAL. But to lock it down a bit more and make misuse
of INTERNAL-accepting functions less likely, let's get rid of the ability
to specify a "serialtype" for an aggregate and just say that the only
useful serialtype is BYTEA --- which, in practice, is the only interesting
value anyway, due to the usefulness of the send/recv infrastructure for
this purpose. That means we only have to allow "serialize(internal)
returns bytea" and "deserialize(bytea, internal) returns internal" as
the signatures for these support functions.
In passing fix bogus signature of int4_avg_combine, which I found thanks
to adding an opr_sanity check on combinefunc signatures.

Since indexes are created without valid LSNs, an index created
while a snapshot older than old_snapshot_threshold existed could
cause queries to return incorrect results when those old snapshots
were used, if any relevant rows had been subject to early pruning

Transmit the leader's temp-namespace state to workers. This is important
because without it, the workers do not really have the same search path
as the leader. For example, there is no good reason (and no extant code
either) to prevent a worker from executing a temp function that the
leader created previously; but as things stood it would fail to find the
temp function, and then either fail or execute the wrong function entirely.
We still prohibit a worker from creating a temp namespace on its own.
In effect, a worker can only see the session's temp namespace if the leader
had created it before starting the worker, which seems like the right
semantics.
Also, transmit the leader's BackendId to workers, and arrange for workers
to use that when determining the physical file path of a temp relation
belonging to their session. While the original intent was to prevent such
accesses entirely, there were a number of holes in that, notably in places
like dbsize.c which assume they can safely access temp rels of other
sessions anyway. We might as well get this right, as a small down payment
on someday allowing workers to access the leader's temp tables. (With
this change, directly using "MyBackendId" as a relation or buffer backend
ID is deprecated; you should use BackendIdForTempRelations() instead.
I left a couple of such uses alone though, as they're not going to be
reachable in parallel workers until we do something about localbuf.c.)
Move the thou-shalt-not-access-thy-leader's-temp-tables prohibition down
into localbuf.c, which is where it actually matters, instead of having it
in relation_open(). This amounts to recognizing that access to temp
tables' catalog entries is perfectly safe in a worker, it's only the data
in local buffers that is problematic.
Having done all that, we can get rid of the test in has_parallel_hazard()
that says that use of a temp table's rowtype is unsafe in parallel workers.
That test was unduly expensive, and if we really did need such a
prohibition, that was not even close to being a bulletproof guard for it.
(For example, any user-defined function executed in a parallel worker
might have attempted such access.)
Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation
and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much
unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most
common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous
enough to cause problems.

subquery_planner() failed to apply expression preprocessing to the
arbiterElems and arbiterWhere fields of an OnConflictExpr. No doubt the
theory was that this wasn't necessary because we don't actually try to

to match to index expressions or index predicates that are changed at all
by preprocessing. Per bug #14132 from Reynold Smith.
Also add pullup_replace_vars processing for onConflictWhere. Perhaps
it's impossible to have a subquery reference there, but I'm not exactly

Also add some comments to other places where one or another field of
OnConflictExpr is intentionally ignored, with explanation as to why it's
okay to do so.
Also, catalog/dependency.c failed to record any dependency on the named

path managed to error out reasonably for a dangling constraint reference,
but ruleutils.c dumped core; so in addition to fixing the omission, add
a protective check in ruleutils.c, since we can't retroactively add a

Report: <20160510190350.2608.48667@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
This patch essentially reverts commit 4c6780fd17, in favor of a much
simpler solution for the case where the new cluster would choose to create
a TOAST table but the old cluster doesn't have one: just don't create a
TOAST table.
The existing code failed in at least two different ways if the situation
arose: (1) ALTER TABLE RESET didn't grab an exclusive lock, so that the
lock sanity check in create_toast_table failed; (2) pg_upgrade did not
provide a pg_type OID for the new toast table, so that the crosscheck in
TypeCreate failed. While both these problems were introduced by later
patches, they show that the hack being used to cause TOAST table creation
is overwhelmingly fragile (and untested). I also note that before the
TypeCreate crosscheck was added, the code would have resulted in assigning
an indeterminate pg_type OID to the toast table, possibly causing a later
OID conflict in that catalog; so that it didn't really work even when
committed.
If we simply don't create a TOAST table, there will only be a problem if
the code tries to store a tuple that's wider than a page, and field
compression isn't sufficient to get it under a page. Given that the TOAST
creation threshold is intended to be about a quarter of a page, it's very
hard to believe that cross-version differences in the do-we-need-a-toast-
table heuristic could result in an observable problem. So let's just
follow the old version's conclusion about whether a TOAST table is needed.
(If we ever do change needs_toast_table() so much that this conclusion
doesn't apply, we can devise a solution at that time, and hopefully do
it in a less klugy way than 4c6780fd17 did.)

Default roles really should be like regular roles, for the most part.
This removes a number of checks that were trying to make default roles

Conversion functions were previously marked as parallel-unsafe, since
that is the default, but in fact they are safe. Parallel-safe
functions defined in pg_proc.h and redefined in system_views.sql were
ending up as parallel-unsafe because the redeclarations were not
marked PARALLEL SAFE. While editing system_views.sql, mark ts_debug()
parallel safe also.

Commit 7117685461 made pg_start_backup
parallel-restricted rather than parallel-safe, because it now relies
on backend-private state that won't be synchronized with the parallel
worker. However, it didn't update pg_proc.h. Separately, Andreas
Karlsson observed that system_views.sql neglected to reiterate the
parallel-safety markings whe redefining various functions, including
this one; so add a PARALLEL RESTRICTED declaration there to match
the new value in pg_proc.h.
The reverted changes were intended to force a choice of whether any
newly-added BufferGetPage() calls needed to be accompanied by a
test of the snapshot age, to support the "snapshot too old"
feature. Such an accompanying test is needed in about 7% of the
cases, where the page is being used as part of a scan rather than
positioning for other purposes (such as DML or vacuuming). The
additional effort required for back-patching, and the doubt whether
the intended benefit would really be there, have indicated it is
best just to rely on developers to do the right thing based on
comments and existing usage, as we do with many other conventions.
This change should have little or no effect on generated executable

This patch is a no-op patch which is intended to reduce the chances
of failures of omission once the functional part of the "snapshot
too old" patch goes in. It adds parameters for snapshot, relation,

for the first two new parameters and BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST for the
third. The follow-on patch will change the places where the test
needs to be made.

Previously non-exclusive backups had to be done using the replication protocol

pg_start_backup/pg_stop_backup as well, as long as the backup program can
maintain a persistent connection to the database.
Doing this, backup_label and tablespace_map are returned as results from
pg_stop_backup() instead of being written to the data directory. This makes
the server safe from a crash during an ongoing backup, which can be a problem
with exclusive backups.
The old syntax of the functions remain and work exactly as before, but since the
new syntax is safer this should eventually be deprecated and removed.
Only reference documentation is included. The main section on backup still needs

can't be passed between cooperating processes, because they are
just pointers.

This avoids leaving dangling links in pg_operator; which while fairly

While we're at it, simplify OperatorUpd, which went through

This enables external code to create access methods. This is useful so
that extensions can add their own access methods which can be formally
tracked for dependencies, so that DROP operates correctly. Also, having
explicit support makes pg_dump work correctly.
Currently only index AMs are supported, but we expect different types to
be added in the future.

There's a lot more that could be done here yet - in particular, this
reports only very coarse-grained information about the index vacuuming
phase - but even as it stands, the new pg_stat_progress_vacuum can
tell you quite a bit about what a long-running vacuum is actually
doing.

In commit 1d97c19a0f and later c1d9579dd8, we extended
pull_var_clause's API by adding enum-type arguments. That's sort of a pain
to maintain, though, because it means every time we add a new behavior we
must touch every last one of the call sites, even if there's a reasonable
default behavior that most of them could use. Let's switch over to using a
bitmask of flags, instead; that seems more maintainable and might save a
nanosecond or two as well. This commit changes no behavior in itself,
though I'm going to follow it up with one that does add a new behavior.
In passing, remove flatten_tlist(), which has not been used since 9.1
and would otherwise need the same API changes.
Removing these enums means that optimizer/tlist.h no longer needs to
depend on optimizer/var.h. Changing that caused a number of C files to
need addition of #include "optimizer/var.h" (probably we can thank old
runs of pgrminclude for that); but on balance it seems like a good change
anyway.
When a process is waiting for a heavyweight lock, we will now indicate
the type of heavyweight lock for which it is waiting. Also, you can
now see when a process is waiting for a lightweight lock - in which
case we will indicate the individual lock name or the tranche, as
appropriate - or for a buffer pin.

The new bit indicates whether every tuple on the page is already frozen.
It is cleared only when the all-visible bit is cleared, and it can be
set only when we vacuum a page and find that every tuple on that page is
both visible to every transaction and in no need of any future
vacuuming.
A future commit will use this new bit to optimize away full-table scans
that would otherwise be triggered by XID wraparound considerations. A
page which is merely all-visible must still be scanned in that case, but
a page which is all-frozen need not be. This commit does not attempt
that optimization, although that optimization is the goal here. It
seems better to get the basic infrastructure in place first.
Per discussion, it's very desirable for pg_upgrade to automatically

If we ever get around to allowing functional dependency to be proven
from other things besides simple primary keys, this code will need to

If a GROUP BY clause includes all columns of a non-deferred primary key,
as well as other columns of the same relation, those other columns are
redundant and can be dropped from the grouping; the pkey is enough to
ensure that each row of the table corresponds to a separate group.
Getting rid of the excess columns will reduce the cost of the sorting or
hashing needed to implement GROUP BY, and can indeed remove the need for
a sort step altogether.
This seems worth testing for since many query authors are not aware of
the GROUP-BY-primary-key exception to the rule about queries not being
allowed to reference non-grouped-by columns in their targetlists or
HAVING clauses. Thus, redundant GROUP BY items are not uncommon. Also,
we can make the test pretty cheap in most queries where it won't help
by not looking up a rel's primary key until we've found that at least
two of its columns are in GROUP BY.

A pending patch requires exporting a function returning Bitmapset from
catalog/pg_constraint.c. As things stand, that would mean including
nodes/bitmapset.h in pg_constraint.h, which might be hazardous for the
client-side includability of that header. It's not entirely clear whether
any client-side code needs to include pg_constraint.h, but it seems prudent
to assume that there is some such code somewhere. Therefore, split off the
function definitions into a new file pg_constraint_fn.h, similarly to what
we've done for some other catalog header files.
Aggregate nodes now have two new modes: a "partial" mode where they
output the unfinalized transition state, and a "finalize" mode where
they accept unfinalized transition states rather than individual
values as input.
These new modes are not used anywhere yet, but they will be necessary
for parallel aggregation. The infrastructure also figures to be
useful for cases where we want to aggregate local data and remote
data via the FDW interface, and want to bring back partial aggregates
from the remote side that can then be combined with locally generated
partial aggregates to produce the final value. It may also be useful
even when neither FDWs nor parallelism are in play, as explained in
the comments in nodeAgg.c.

This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.
Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, and rather heavily
editorialized on by me.
A scan for missed proisstrict markings in the core code turned up
these functions:
brin_summarize_new_values
pg_stat_reset_single_table_counters
pg_stat_reset_single_function_counters
pg_create_logical_replication_slot
pg_create_physical_replication_slot
pg_drop_replication_slot
The first three of these take OID, so a null argument will normally look
like a zero to them, resulting in "ERROR: could not open relation with OID
0" for brin_summarize_new_values, and no action for the pg_stat_reset_XXX
functions. The other three will dump core on a null argument, though this
is mitigated by the fact that they won't do so until after checking that
the caller is superuser or has rolreplication privilege.
In addition, the pg_logical_slot_get/peek[_binary]_changes family was
intentionally marked nonstrict, but failed to make nullness checks on all
the arguments; so again a null-pointer-dereference crash is possible but
only for superusers and rolreplication users.
Add the missing ARGISNULL checks to the latter functions, and mark the
former functions as strict in pg_proc. Make that change in the back
branches too, even though we can't force initdb there, just so that
installations initdb'd in future won't have the issue. Since none of these
bugs rise to the level of security issues (and indeed the pg_stat_reset_XXX
functions hardly misbehave at all), it seems sufficient to do this.
In addition, fix some order-of-operations oddities in the slot_get_changes
family, mostly cosmetic, but not the part that moves the function's last
few operations into the PG_TRY block. As it stood, there was significant
risk for an error to exit without clearing historical information from
the system caches.
The slot_get_changes bugs go back to 9.4 where that code was introduced.
Back-patch appropriate subsets of the pg_proc changes into all active
branches, as well.

Fix an oversight in commit 321eed5f0f: replacing an operator's
selectivity functions needs to result in a corresponding update in
pg_depend. We have a function that can handle that, but it was not
called by AlterOperator().
To fix this without enlarging pg_operator.h's #include list beyond
what clients can safely include, split off the function definitions
into a new file pg_operator_fn.h, similarly to what we've done for
some other catalog header files. It's not entirely clear whether
any client-side code needs to include pg_operator.h, but it seems
prudent to assume that there is some such code somewhere.
Previously, -j caused the entire input file to be read in and executed as
a single command string. That's undesirable, not least because any error
causes the entire file to be regurgitated as the "failing query". Some
experimentation suggests a better rule: end the command string when we see
a semicolon immediately followed by two newlines, ie, an empty line after
a query. This serves nicely to break up the existing examples such as
information_schema.sql and system_views.sql. A limitation is that it's
no longer possible to write such a sequence within a string literal or
multiline comment in a file meant to be read with -j; but there are no
instances of such a problem within the data currently used by initdb.
(If someone does make such a mistake in future, it'll be obvious because
they'll get an unterminated-literal or unterminated-comment syntax error.)
Other than that, there shouldn't be any negative consequences; you're not
forced to end statements that way, it's just a better idea in most cases.
In passing, remove src/include/tcop/tcopdebug.h, which is dead code
because it's not included anywhere, and hasn't been for more than
ten years. One of the debug-support symbols it purported to describe
has been unreferenced for at least the same amount of time, and the
other is removed by this commit on the grounds that it was useless:
forcing -j mode all the time would have broken initdb. The lack of
complaints about that, or about the missing inclusion, shows that
no one has tried to use TCOP_DONTUSENEWLINE in many years.
This is necessary so that REASSIGN OWNED does the right thing with
composite types, to wit, that it also alters ownership of the type's
pg_class entry -- previously, the pg_class entry remained owned by the
original user, which caused later other failures such as the new owner's
inability to use ALTER TYPE to rename an attribute of the affected
composite. Also, if the original owner is later dropped, the pg_class
entry becomes owned by a non-existant user which is bogus.
To fix, create a new routine AlterTypeOwner_oid which knows whether to
pass the request to ATExecChangeOwner or deal with it directly, and use
that in shdepReassignOwner rather than calling AlterTypeOwnerInternal
directly. AlterTypeOwnerInternal is now simpler in that it only
modifies the pg_type entry and recurses to handle a possible array type;
higher-level tasks are handled by either AlterTypeOwner directly or
AlterTypeOwner_oid.
I took the opportunity to add a few more objects to the test rig for
REASSIGN OWNED, so that more cases are exercised. Additional ones could
be added for superuser-only-ownable objects (such as FDWs and event
triggers) but I didn't want to push my luck by adding a new superuser to
the tests on a backpatchable bug fix.

FOREIGN KEY constraints have behaved this way for a long time, but for
some reason the behavior of CHECK constraints has been inconsistent up
until now.
Amit Langote and Amul Sul, with assorted tweaks by me.
As reported in bug #13809 by Alexander Ashurkov, the code for REASSIGN
OWNED hadn't gotten word about user mappings. Deal with them in the
same way default ACLs do, which is to ignore them altogether; they are
handled just fine by DROP OWNED. The other foreign object cases are
already handled correctly by both commands.
Also add a REASSIGN OWNED statement to foreign_data test to exercise the
foreign data objects. (The changes are just before the "cleanup" phase,
so it shouldn't remove any existing live test.)
Reported by Alexander Ashurkov, then independently by Jaime Casanova.
DROP OWNED BY handled GRANT-based ACLs but was not removing roles from
policies. Fix that by having DROP OWNED BY remove the role specified
from the list of roles the policy (or policies) apply to, or the entire
policy (or policies) if it only applied to the role specified.
As with ACLs, the DROP OWNED BY caller must have permission to modify
the policy or a WARNING is thrown and no change is made to the policy.
The previous way of reconstructing check constraints was to do a separate
"ALTER TABLE ONLY tab ADD CONSTRAINT" for each table in an inheritance
hierarchy. However, that way has no hope of reconstructing the check
constraints' own inheritance properties correctly, as pointed out in
bug #13779 from Jan Dirk Zijlstra. What we should do instead is to do
a regular "ALTER TABLE", allowing recursion, at the topmost table that
has a particular constraint, and then suppress the work queue entries
for inherited instances of the constraint.
Annoyingly, we'd tried to fix this behavior before, in commit 5ed6546cf,
but we failed to notice that it wasn't reconstructing the pg_constraint
field values correctly.
As long as I'm touching pg_get_constraintdef_worker anyway, tweak it to
always schema-qualify the target table name; this seems like useful backup
to the protections installed by commit 5f173040.
In HEAD/9.5, get rid of get_constraint_relation_oids, which is now unused.
(I could alternatively have modified it to also return conislocal, but that
seemed like a pretty single-purpose API, so let's not pretend it has some
other use.) It's unused in the back branches as well, but I left it in
place just in case some third-party code has decided to use it.
In HEAD/9.5, also rename pg_get_constraintdef_string to
pg_get_constraintdef_command, as the previous name did nothing to explain
what that entry point did differently from others (and its comment was
equally useless). Again, that change doesn't seem like material for
back-patching.
I did a bit of re-pgindenting in tablecmds.c in HEAD/9.5, as well.
Otherwise, back-patch to all supported branches.
This was already true for CREATE EXTENSION, but historically has not
been true for other object types. Therefore, this is a backward
incompatibility. Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, everyone seems to
agree that the new behavior is better.

To allow users to force RLS to always be applied, even for table owners,

row_security=off overrides FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY, to ensure pg_dump

Also add SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS context to avoid data corruption when
ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW SECURITY is being used. The
SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS security context is used only during referential

Commit 924bcf4f16 introduced a framework
for parallel computation in PostgreSQL that makes most but not all
built-in functions safe to execute in parallel mode. In order to have
parallel query, we'll need to be able to determine whether that query
contains functions (either built-in or user-defined) that cannot be
safely executed in parallel mode. This requires those functions to be
labeled, so this patch introduces an infrastructure for that. Some
functions currently labeled as safe may need to be revised depending on
how pending issues related to heavyweight locking under paralllelism
are resolved.
Parallel plans can't be used except for the case where the query will
run to completion. If portal execution were suspended, the parallel
mode restrictions would need to remain in effect during that time, but
that might make other queries fail. Therefore, this patch introduces
a framework that enables consideration of parallel plans only when it
is known that the plan will be run to completion. This probably needs
some refinement; for example, at bind time, we do not know whether a
query run via the extended protocol will be execution to completion or
run with a limited fetch count. Having the client indicate its
intentions at bind time would constitute a wire protocol break. Some
contexts in which parallel mode would be safe are not adjusted by this
patch; the default is not to try parallel plans except from call sites
that have been updated to say that such plans are OK.
This commit doesn't introduce any parallel paths or plans; it just
provides a way to determine whether they could potentially be used.
I'm committing it on the theory that the remaining parallel sequential
scan patches will also get committed to this release, hopefully in the
not-too-distant future.

When creating a physical slot it's often useful to immediately reserve
the current WAL position instead of only doing after the first feedback
message arrives. That e.g. allows slots to guarantee that all the WAL

Logical slots already have to reserve WAL during creation, so generalize
that logic into being usable for both physical and logical slots.

There's no reason not to expose both restart_lsn and confirmed_flush
since they have rather distinct meanings. The former is the oldest WAL
still required and valid for both physical and logical slots, whereas
the latter is the location up to which a logical slot's consumer has
confirmed receiving data. Most of the time a slot will require older
WAL (i.e. restart_lsn) than the confirmed
position (i.e. confirmed_flush_lsn).

Discussion: 559D110B.1020109@joh.to
For correctness of summarization results, it is critical that the
snapshot used during the summarization scan is able to see all tuples
that are live to all transactions -- including tuples inserted or
deleted by in-progress transactions. Otherwise, it would be possible
for a transaction to insert a tuple, then idle for a long time while a
concurrent transaction executes summarization of the range: this would
result in the inserted value not being considered in the summary.
Previously we were trying to use a MVCC snapshot in conjunction with
adding a "placeholder" tuple in the index: the snapshot would see all
committed tuples, and the placeholder tuple would catch insertions by
any new inserters. The hole is that prior insertions by transactions
that are still in progress by the time the MVCC snapshot was taken were
ignored.
Kevin Grittner reported this as a bogus error message during vacuum with
default transaction isolation mode set to repeatable read (because the
error report mentioned a function name not being invoked during), but
the problem is larger than that.
To fix, tweak IndexBuildHeapRangeScan to have a new mode that behaves
the way we need using SnapshotAny visibility rules. This change
simplifies the BRIN code a bit, mainly by removing large comments that
were mistaken. Instead, rely on the SnapshotAny semantics to provide
what it needs. (The business about a placeholder tuple needs to remain:
that covers the case that a transaction inserts a a tuple in a page that
summarization already scanned.)

The pg_stats view is supposed to be restricted to only show rows
about tables the user can read. However, it sometimes can leak
information which could not otherwise be seen when row level security
is enabled. Fix that by not showing pg_stats rows to users that would
be subject to RLS on the table the row is related to. This is done
by creating/using the newly introduced SQL visible function,
row_security_active().
Along the way, clean up three call sites of check_enable_rls(). The second
argument of that function should only be specified as other than
InvalidOid when we are checking as a different user than the current one,
as in when querying through a view. These sites were passing GetUserId()
instead of InvalidOid, which can cause the function to return incorrect
results if the current user has the BYPASSRLS privilege and row_security
has been set to OFF.
Additionally fix a bug causing RI Trigger error messages to unintentionally
leak information when RLS is enabled, and other minor cleanup and

The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without
specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can
implement a TSM. (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.) Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having
a special return type. This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog
altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature.
Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments
(the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at
ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright
unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples.
Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable
within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more
honestly with methods that can't support that requirement.
