Some line feeds are added to target lists and from lists to make
them more readable. By default they wrap at 80 columns if possible,
but the wrap column is also selectable - if 0 it wraps after every
item.

Formerly we passed an empty list to each per-child-table invocation of
grouping_planner, and then merged the results into the global list.
However, that fails if there's a CTE attached to the statement, because
create_ctescan_plan uses the list to find the plan referenced by a CTE
reference; so it was unable to find any CTEs attached to the outer UPDATE
or DELETE. But there's no real reason not to use the same list throughout
the process, and doing so is simpler and faster anyway.
Per report from Josh Berkus of "could not find plan for CTE" failures.
Back-patch to 9.1 where we added support for WITH attached to UPDATE or
DELETE. Add some regression test cases, too.
We'll now use "exists" for EXISTS(SELECT ...), "array" for ARRAY(SELECT
...), or the sub-select's own result column name for a simple expression
sub-select. Previously, you usually got "?column?" in such cases.

Since the original implementation of CTEs only allowed them in SELECT
queries, the rule rewriter did not expect to find any CTEs in statements
being rewritten by ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rules. We had dealt with this
to some extent but the code was still several bricks shy of a load, as
illustrated in bug #6051 from Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais.
In particular, we have to be able to copy CTEs from the original query's
cteList into that of a rule action, in case the rule action references the
CTE (which it pretty much always will). This also implies we were doing
things in the wrong order in RewriteQuery: we have to recursively rewrite
the CTE queries before expanding the main query, so that we have the
rewritten queries available to copy.
There are unpleasant limitations yet to resolve here, but at least we now
throw understandable FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED errors for them instead of just
failing with bizarre implementation-dependent errors. In particular, we
can't handle propagating the same CTE into multiple post-rewrite queries
(because then the CTE would be evaluated multiple times), and we can't cope
with conflicts between CTE names in the original query and in the rule
actions.
The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well
with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with
triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed. Those problems show it is really not
practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the
cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called
between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd. Some Asserts have been
added to these functions to help verify correct usage.
It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call
AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now
done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively. If you really need to
suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to
ExecutorStart.
Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that
PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code. I think this is not actually
necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any
non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider
committing. But it seems like good future-proofing.
We need ExecutorEnd to run the ModifyTable nodes to completion in
reverse order of initialization, not forward order. Easily done
by constructing the list back-to-front.
This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the
semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value,
and in an unspecified order. Therefore one WITH clause can't see the
effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than
through the RETURNING values. And attempts to do conflicting updates will
have unpredictable results. We'll need to document all that.
This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on
author.

This is not the hoped-for facility of using INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE inside
a WITH, but rather the other way around. It seems useful in its own
right anyway.
Note: catversion bumped because, although the contents of stored rules
might look compatible, there's actually a subtle semantic change.
A single Query containing a WITH and INSERT...VALUES now represents
writing the WITH before the INSERT, not before the VALUES. While it's
not clear that that matters to anyone, it seems like a good idea to
have it cited in the git history for catversion.h.

in the formerly-always-blank columns just to left and right of the data.
Different marking is used for a line break caused by a newline in the data
than for a straight wraparound. A newline break is signaled by a "+" in the
right margin column in ASCII mode, or a carriage return arrow in UNICODE mode.
Wraparound is signaled by a dot in the right margin as well as the following
left margin in ASCII mode, or an ellipsis symbol in the same places in UNICODE
mode. "\pset linestyle old-ascii" is added to make the previous behavior
available if anyone really wants it.
In passing, this commit also cleans up a few regression test files that
had unintended spacing differences from the current actual output.

code was already okay with this, but the hack that obtained the output
column types of a recursive union in advance of doing real parse analysis
of the recursive union forgot to handle the case where there was an inner
WITH clause available to the non-recursive term. Best fix seems to be to
refactor so that we don't need the "throwaway" parse analysis step at all.
Instead, teach the transformSetOperationStmt code to set up the CTE's output
column information after it's processed the non-recursive term normally.
Per report from David Fetter.
the "cteParam" as a proxy for the possibility that the underlying CTE plan
depends on outer-level variables or Params, but that doesn't work very well
because it sometimes causes calling subqueries to be treated as SubPlans when
they could be InitPlans. This is inefficient and also causes the outright
failure exhibited in bug #4902. Instead, leave the cteParam out of it and
copy the underlying CTE plan's extParams directly. Per bug #4902 from
Marko Tiikkaja.
TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot
after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented
by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem
with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already
fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version
of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row
variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a
tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some
simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same
bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's
built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed
memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions.
Fix by allowing a slot to contain both formats simultaneously; which turns out
not to complicate the logic much at all, if anything it seems less contorted
than before.
Back-patch to 8.2, where minimal tuples were introduced.
depth-first search order. Upon close reading of SQL:2008, it seems that the
spec's SEARCH DEPTH FIRST and SEARCH BREADTH FIRST options do not actually
guarantee any particular result order: what they do is provide a constructed
column that the user can then sort on in the outer query. So this is actually
just as much functionality ...
pseudo-type record[] to represent arrays of possibly-anonymous composite
types. Since composite datums carry their own type identification, no
extra knowledge is needed at the array level.
The main reason for doing this right now is that it is necessary to support
the general case of detection of cycles in recursive queries: if you need to
compare more than one column to detect a cycle, you need to compare a ROW()
to an array built from ROW()s, at least if you want to do it as the spec
suggests. Add some documentation and regression tests concerning the cycle
detection issue.
RecursiveUnion to which it refers. It turns out that we can just postpone the
relevant initialization steps until the first exec call for the node, by which
time the ancestor node must surely be initialized. Per report from Greg Stark.
implementation uses an in-memory hash table, so it will poop out for very
large recursive results ... but the performance characteristics of a
sort-based implementation would be pretty unpleasant too.
recursive CTE that we're still in progress of analyzing. Add a similar guard
to the similar code in expandRecordVariable(), and tweak regression tests to
cover this case. Per report from Dickson S. Guedes.
There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL
(should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses.
These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a
pretty useful feature.
There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles,
which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land
the patch now so we can get on with other development.
