The setting controls tha maximum length of the header line in expanded

the default is full, the current behaviour, and in this case the header
line is the length of the widest line of output. column causes the
header to be truncated to the width of the first column, page causes it
to be truncated to the width of the terminal page, and an integer causes
it to be truncated to that value. If the full value is less than the
page or integer value no truncation occurs. If given without an argument
this option prints its current setting.

Add a script to automatically generate the node support functions
(copy, equal, out, and read, as well as the node tags enum) from the
struct definitions.
For each of the four node support files, it creates two include files,
e.g., copyfuncs.funcs.c and copyfuncs.switch.c, to include in the main
file. All the scaffolding of the main file stays in place.
I have tried to mostly make the coverage of the output match what is
currently there. For example, one could now do out/read coverage of
utility statement nodes, but I have manually excluded those for now.
The reason is mainly that it's easier to diff the before and after,
and adding a bunch of stuff like this might require a separate
analysis and review.
Subtyping (TidScan -> Scan) is supported.
For the hard cases, you can just write a manual function and exclude
generating one. For the not so hard cases, there is a way of
annotating struct fields to get special behaviors. For example,
pg_node_attr(equal_ignore) has the field ignored in equal functions.
(In this patch, I have only ifdef'ed out the code to could be removed,
mainly so that it won't constantly have merge conflicts. It will be
deleted in a separate patch. All the code comments that are worth
keeping from those sections have already been moved to the header
files where the structs are defined.)

We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the
integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation
within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination;
or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or
occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation
based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is
confusing.
Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the
single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're
talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files
on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as
a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage".
Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about
pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other
SQL-facing things that derive their name from it.
On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For
example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be
derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode,
so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with
names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to
how they're being used in context.
Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for
future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its
current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now
declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these
are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

Backpatch: 15-
Currently, preloaded libraries are expected to request additional
shared memory and LWLocks in _PG_init(). However, it is not unusal
for such requests to depend on MaxBackends, which won't be
initialized at that time. Such requests could also depend on GUCs
that other modules might change. This introduces a new hook where
modules can safely use MaxBackends and GUCs to request additional
shared memory and LWLocks.
Furthermore, this change restricts requests for shared memory and
LWLocks to this hook. Previously, libraries could make requests
until the size of the main shared memory segment was calculated.
Unlike before, we no longer silently ignore requests received at
invalid times. Instead, we FATAL if someone tries to request
additional shared memory or LWLocks outside of the hook.

Previously the statistics collector received statistics updates via UDP and
shared statistics data by writing them out to temporary files regularly. These
files can reach tens of megabytes and are written out up to twice a
second. This has repeatedly prevented us from adding additional useful
statistics.
Now statistics are stored in shared memory. Statistics for variable-numbered
objects are stored in a dshash hashtable (backed by dynamic shared
memory). Fixed-numbered stats are stored in plain shared memory.
The header for pgstat.c contains an overview of the architecture.
The stats collector is not needed anymore, remove it.
By utilizing the transactional statistics drop infrastructure introduced in a
prior commit statistics entries cannot "leak" anymore. Previously leaked
statistics were dropped by pgstat_vacuum_stat(), called from [auto-]vacuum. On
systems with many small relations pgstat_vacuum_stat() could be quite
expensive.
Now that replicas drop statistics entries for dropped objects, it is not
necessary anymore to reset stats when starting from a cleanly shut down
replica.
Subsequent commits will perform some further code cleanup, adapt docs and add
tests.

One problematic part of the current statistics collector design is that there
is no reliable way of getting rid of statistics entries. Because of that
pgstat_vacuum_stat() (called by [auto-]vacuum) matches all stats for the
current database with the catalog contents and tries to drop now-superfluous
entries. That's quite expensive. What's worse, it doesn't work on physical
replicas, despite physical replicas collection statistics entries.
This commit introduces infrastructure to create / drop statistics entries
transactionally, together with the underlying catalog objects (functions,
relations, subscriptions). pgstat_xact.c maintains a list of stats entries
created / dropped transactionally in the current transaction. To ensure the
removal of statistics entries is durable dropped statistics entries are
included in commit / abort (and prepare) records, which also ensures that
stats entries are dropped on standbys.
Statistics entries created separately from creating the underlying catalog
object (e.g. when stats were previously lost due to an immediate restart)
are *not* WAL logged. However that can only happen outside of the transaction
creating the catalog object, so it does not lead to "leaked" statistics
entries.
For this to work, functions creating / dropping functions / relations /
subscriptions need to call into pgstat. For subscriptions this was already
done when dropping subscriptions, via pgstat_report_subscription_drop() (now
renamed to pgstat_drop_subscription()).
This commit does not actually drop stats yet, it just provides the
infrastructure. It is however a largely independent piece of infrastructure,
so committing it separately makes sense.

Rename pgstat_reset_slru_counter(), pgstat_reset_replslot_counter() to

deal with a single SLRU/slot. Resetting all SLRUs/slots goes through the

The current logical replication behavior is to send every transaction to
subscriber even if the transaction is empty. This can happen because
transaction doesn't contain changes from the selected publications or all
the changes got filtered. It is a waste of CPU cycles and network
bandwidth to build/transmit these empty transactions.
This patch addresses the above problem by postponing the BEGIN message
until the first change is sent. While processing a COMMIT message, if
there was no other change for that transaction, do not send the COMMIT
message. This allows us to skip sending BEGIN/COMMIT messages for empty
transactions.
When skipping empty transactions in synchronous replication mode, we send
a keepalive message to avoid delaying such transactions.

Because this strategy logs changes on a block-by-block basis, it
avoids the need to checkpoint before and after the operation.
However, because it logs each changed block individually, it might
generate a lot of extra write-ahead logging if the template database
is large. Therefore, the older strategy remains available via a new
STRATEGY parameter to CREATE DATABASE, and a corresponding --strategy
option to createdb.
Somewhat controversially, this patch assembles the list of relations
to be copied to the new database by reading the pg_class relation of
the template database. Cross-database access like this isn't normally
possible, but it can be made to work here because there can't be any
connections to the database being copied, nor can it contain any
in-doubt transactions. Even so, we have to use lower-level interfaces
than normal, since the table scan and relcache interfaces will not
work for a database to which we're not connected. The advantage of
this approach is that we do not need to rely on the filesystem to
determine what ought to be copied, but instead on PostgreSQL's own
knowledge of the database structure. This avoids, for example,
copying stray files that happen to be located in the source database
directory.

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 otherwise
require multiple PL statements. For example,
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 tables, partitioned tables and inheritance
hierarchies, including column and row security enforcement, as well as
support for row and statement triggers and transition tables therein.
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 from PL/pgSQL.
MERGE does not support targetting updatable views or foreign tables, and
RETURNING clauses are not allowed either. These limitations are likely
fixable with sufficient effort. Rewrite rules are also not supported,
but it's not clear that we'd want to support them.

Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when
replaying create database WAL records. Prior to this patch, the standby
would fail to recover in such a case. However, the directories could be
legitimately missing. Consider a sequence of WAL records as follows:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace
directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database
record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on.
This patch adds a mechanism similar to invalid-page tracking, to keep a
tally of missing directories during crash recovery. If all the missing
directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at the
end of crash recovery, the standby can safely continue following the
primary.
Backpatch to 13, at least for now. The bug is older, but fixing it in
older branches requires more careful study of the interactions with
commit e6d8069522, which appeared in 13.
A new TAP test file is added to verify the condition. However, because
it depends on commit d6d317dbf6, it can only be added to branch
master. I (Álvaro) manually verified that the code behaves as expected
in branch 14. It's a bit nervous-making to leave the code uncovered by
tests in older branches, but leaving the bug unfixed is even worse.
Also, the main reason this fix took so long is precisely that we
couldn't agree on a good strategy to approach testing for the bug, so
perhaps this is the best we can do.

This patch changes the pg_stat_subscription_workers view (introduced by
commit 8d74fc96db) so that it stores only statistics counters:
apply_error_count and sync_error_count, and has one entry for
each subscription. The removed error information such as error-XID and
the error message would be stored in another way in the future which is
more reliable and persistent.
After removing these error details, there is no longer any relation
information, so the subscription statistics are now a cluster-wide
statistics.
The patch also changes the view name to pg_stat_subscription_stats since
the word "worker" is an implementation detail that we use one worker for

This feature adds row filtering for publication tables. When a publication
is defined or modified, an optional WHERE clause can be specified. Rows
that don't satisfy this WHERE clause will be filtered out. This allows a
set of tables to be partially replicated. The row filter is per table. A
new row filter can be added simply by specifying a WHERE clause after the
table name. The WHERE clause must be enclosed by parentheses.
The row filter WHERE clause for a table added to a publication that
publishes UPDATE and/or DELETE operations must contain only columns that
are covered by REPLICA IDENTITY. The row filter WHERE clause for a table
added to a publication that publishes INSERT can use any column. If the
row filter evaluates to NULL, it is regarded as "false". The WHERE clause
only allows simple expressions that don't have user-defined functions,
user-defined operators, user-defined types, user-defined collations,
non-immutable built-in functions, or references to system columns. These
restrictions could be addressed in the future.
If you choose to do the initial table synchronization, only data that
satisfies the row filters is copied to the subscriber. If the subscription
has several publications in which a table has been published with
different WHERE clauses, rows that satisfy ANY of the expressions will be
copied. If a subscriber is a pre-15 version, the initial table
synchronization won't use row filters even if they are defined in the
publisher.
The row filters are applied before publishing the changes. If the
subscription has several publications in which the same table has been
published with different filters (for the same publish operation), those
expressions get OR'ed together so that rows satisfying any of the
expressions will be replicated.
This means all the other filters become redundant if (a) one of the
publications have no filter at all, (b) one of the publications was
created using FOR ALL TABLES, (c) one of the publications was created

The GiST sorted build currently chooses split points according to the only page
space utilization. That may lead to higher non-leaf keys overlap and, in turn,
slower search query answers.
This commit makes the sorted build use the opclass's picksplit method. Once
four pages at the level are accumulated, the picksplit method is applied until
each split partition fits the page. Some of our split algorithms could show
significant performance degradation while processing 4-times more data at once.
But those opclasses haven't received the sorted build support and shouldn't
receive it before their split algorithms are improved.

This is similar to b69aba7, except that this completes the work for
HMAC with a new routine called pg_hmac_error() that would provide more
context about the type of error that happened during a HMAC computation:
- The fallback HMAC implementation in hmac.c relies on cryptohashes, so
in some code paths it is necessary to return back the error generated by
cryptohashes.
- For the OpenSSL implementation (hmac_openssl.c), the logic is very
similar to cryptohash_openssl.c, where the error context comes from
OpenSSL if one of its internal routines failed, with different error
codes if something internal to hmac_openssl.c failed or was incorrect.
Any in-core code paths that use the centralized HMAC interface are
related to SCRAM, for errors that are unlikely going to happen, with
only SHA-256. It would be possible to see errors when computing some
HMACs with MD5 for example and OpenSSL FIPS enabled, and this commit
would help in reporting the correct errors but nothing in core uses
that. So, at the end, no backpatch to v14 is done, at least for now.
Errors in SCRAM related to the computation of the server key, stored
key, etc. need to pass down the potential error context string across
more layers of their respective call stacks for the frontend and the
backend, so each surrounding routine is adapted for this purpose.

The existing cryptohash facility was causing problems in some code paths
related to MD5 (frontend and backend) that relied on the fact that the
only type of error that could happen would be an OOM, as the MD5
implementation used in PostgreSQL ~13 (the in-core implementation is
used when compiling with or without OpenSSL in those older versions),
could fail only under this circumstance.
The new cryptohash facilities can fail for reasons other than OOMs, like
attempting MD5 when FIPS is enabled (upstream OpenSSL allows that up to
1.0.2, Fedora and Photon patch OpenSSL 1.1.1 to allow that), so this
would cause incorrect reports to show up.
This commit extends the cryptohash APIs so as callers of those routines
can fetch more context when an error happens, by using a new routine
called pg_cryptohash_error(). The error states are stored within each
implementation's internal context data, so as it is possible to extend
the logic depending on what's suited for an implementation. The default
implementation requires few error states, but OpenSSL could report
various issues depending on its internal state so more is needed in
cryptohash_openssl.c, and the code is shaped so as we are always able to
grab the necessary information.
The core code is changed to adapt to the new error routine, painting
more "const" across the call stack where the static errors are stored,
particularly in authentication code paths on variables that provide
log details. This way, any future changes would warn if attempting to
free these strings. The MD5 authentication code was also a bit blurry
about the handling of "logdetail" (LOG sent to the postmaster), so
improve the comments related that, while on it.
The origin of the problem is 87ae969, that introduced the centralized
cryptohash facility. Extra changes are done for pgcrypto in v14 for the
non-OpenSSL code path to cope with the improvements done by this
commit.

Previously, in parallel vacuum, we allocated shmem area of
IndexBulkDeleteResult only for indexes where parallel index vacuuming is
safe and had null-bitmap in shmem area to access them. This logic was too
complicated with a small benefit of saving only a few bits per indexes.
In this commit, we allocate a dedicated shmem area for the array of

pg_receivewal includes since cada1af the option --compress, to allow the
compression of WAL segments using gzip, with a value of 0 (the default)
meaning that no compression can be used.
This commit introduces a new option, called --compression-method, able
to use as values "none", the default, and "gzip", to make things more
extensible. The case of --compress=0 becomes fuzzy with this option
layer, so we have made the choice to make pg_receivewal return an error
when using "none" and a non-zero compression level, meaning that the
authorized values of --compress are now [1,9] instead of [0,9]. Not
specifying --compress with "gzip" as compression method makes
pg_receivewal use the default of zlib instead (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION).
The code in charge of finding the streaming start LSN when scanning the
existing archives is refactored and made more extensible. While on it,
rename "compression" to "compression_level" in walmethods.c, to reduce
the confusion with the introduction of the compression method, even if
the tar method used by pg_basebackup does not rely on the compression
method (yet, at least), but just on the compression level (this area
could be improved more, actually).
This is in preparation for an upcoming patch that adds LZ4 support to
pg_receivewal.

Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once
they are complete. This is a problem if one WAL record is split across
a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down
the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after
crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record
started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have
already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding.
This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter
crashes:
LOG: invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/D9FFFBC8
because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record
(contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and
it will never be. A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL
file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from
the primary. But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users
would just give up and re-clone the standby instead.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit 515e3d84a0, but
it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so
streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things
such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after
having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it
had to be reverted.
This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres
Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are
kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord
was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken
parts. With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment
files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records
will proceed across the crash point without a hitch.
Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to
upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby
being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record.
A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it
is yet to be seen.
This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so
backpatch all the way back. In stable branches, keep the new
XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI
break.

Session statistics, as introduced by 960869da08, had several shortcomings:
- an additional GetCurrentTimestamp() call that also impaired the accuracy of
the data collected
This can be avoided by passing the current timestamp we already have in
pgstat_report_stat().
- an additional statistics UDP packet sent every 500ms
This is solved by adding the new statistics to PgStat_MsgTabstat.
This is conceptually ugly, because session statistics are not
table statistics. But the struct already contains data unrelated
to tables, so there is not much damage done.
Connection and disconnection are reported in separate messages, which
reduces the number of additional messages to two messages per session and a
slight increase in PgStat_MsgTabstat size (but the same number of table
stats fit).
- Session time computation could overflow on systems where long is 32 bit.

To add support for streaming transactions at prepare time into the
built-in logical replication, we need to do the following things:
* Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new two-phase API
callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol.
* Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle two-phase
transactions by replaying them on prepare.
* Add a new SUBSCRIPTION option "two_phase" to allow users to enable
two-phase transactions. We enable the two_phase once the initial data sync
is over.
We however must explicitly disable replication of two-phase transactions
during replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We
don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase,
and moreover, we don't have a replication connection open so we don't know
where to send the data anyway.
The streaming option is not allowed with this new two_phase option. This
can be done as a separate patch.
We don't allow to toggle two_phase option of a subscription because it can
lead to an inconsistent replica. For the same reason, we don't allow to
refresh the publication once the two_phase is enabled for a subscription
unless copy_data option is false.

The code of SCRAM and SASL have been tightly linked together since SCRAM
exists in the core code, making hard to apprehend the addition of new

SCRAM being an option for SASL. This refactors the code related to both
so as the backend and the frontend use a set of callbacks for SASL
mechanisms, documenting while on it what is expected by anybody adding a
new SASL mechanism.
The separation between both layers is neat, using two sets of callbacks
for the frontend and the backend to mark the frontier between both
facilities. The shape of the callbacks is now directly inspired from
the routines used by SCRAM, so the code change is straight-forward, and
the SASL code is moved into its own set of files. These will likely

Benchmarking has showed that LZ4 outclasses easily PGLZ. ZSTD would be
