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.
Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

Previously materializing a slot always returned a HeapTuple. As
current work aims to reduce the reliance on HeapTuples (so other
storage systems can work efficiently), that needs to change. Thus
split the tasks of materializing a slot (i.e. making it independent
from the underlying storage / other memory contexts) from fetching a
HeapTuple from the slot. For brevity, allow to fetch a HeapTuple from
a slot and materializing the slot at the same time, controlled by a
parameter.
For now some callers of ExecFetchSlotHeapTuple, with materialize =
true, expect that changes to the heap tuple will be reflected in the
underlying slot. Those places will be adapted in due course, so while
not pretty, that's OK for now.
Also rename ExecFetchSlotTuple to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum and
ExecFetchSlotTupleDatum to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum, as it's likely
that future storage methods will need similar methods. There already
is ExecFetchSlotMinimalTuple, so the new names make the naming scheme
more coherent.

In the wake of commit f2343653f, we no longer need some fields that
were used before to control executor lock acquisitions:
* PlannedStmt.nonleafResultRelations can go away entirely.
* partitioned_rels can go away from Append, MergeAppend, and ModifyTable.
However, ModifyTable still needs to know the RT index of the partition
root table if any, which was formerly kept in the first entry of that
list. Add a new field "rootRelation" to remember that. rootRelation is
partly redundant with nominalRelation, in that if it's set it will have
the same value as nominalRelation. However, the latter field has a
different purpose so it seems best to keep them distinct.

Create an array estate->es_relations[] paralleling the es_range_table,
and store references to Relations (relcache entries) there, so that any
given RT entry is opened and closed just once per executor run. Scan
nodes typically still call ExecOpenScanRelation, but ExecCloseScanRelation
is no more; relation closing is now done centrally in ExecEndPlan.
This is slightly more complex than one would expect because of the
interactions with relcache references held in ResultRelInfo nodes.
The general convention is now that ResultRelInfo->ri_RelationDesc does
not represent a separate relcache reference and so does not need to be
explicitly closed; but there is an exception for ResultRelInfos in the
es_trig_target_relations list, which are manufactured by
ExecGetTriggerResultRel and have to be cleaned up by
ExecCleanUpTriggerState. (That much was true all along, but these
ResultRelInfos are now more different from others than they used to be.)
To allow the partition pruning logic to make use of es_relations[] rather
than having its own relcache references, adjust PartitionedRelPruneInfo
to store an RT index rather than a relation OID.

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
slot types for tuples in buffers and normal memory separately.
This is split out from the patch introducing abstract slots, as this
largely consists out of mechanical changes.

Commit f49842d, which added support for partitionwise joins, built the
child's tlist by applying adjust_appendrel_attrs() to the parent's. So in
the case where the parent's included a whole-row Var for the parent, the
child's contained a ConvertRowtypeExpr. To cope with that, that commit
added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still
assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars
and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors:
* When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin
path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not
find pathkey item to sort' error.
* When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a
subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw
the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error.
* When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by
contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child
join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target
lists' error.
To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and
one by me. While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a
ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the
child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later,
But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise
join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead. We don't need to
handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit
also removes the changes to the planner.
Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child
separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also
required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it
would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through
the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation. So this commit builds that
list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as
well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before
partitionwise join went in.

In final_cost_hashjoin(), commit 9c7f5229a allowed inner_unique cases
to follow a code path previously used only for SEMI/ANTI joins; but it
neglected to fix an if-test within that path that assumed SEMI and ANTI
were the only possible cases. This resulted in a wrong value for
hashjointuples, and an ensuing bad cost estimate, for inner_unique normal
joins. Fortunately, for inner_unique normal joins we can assume the number
of joined tuples is the same as for a SEMI join; so there's no need for
more code, we just have to invert the test to check for ANTI not SEMI.
It turns out that in two contrib tests in which commit 9c7f5229a

If a view references a foreign table, and the foreign table has a
BEFORE INSERT trigger, then it's possible for a tuple inserted or
updated through the view to be changed such that it violates the
view's WITH CHECK OPTION constraint.
Before this commit, postgres_fdw handled this case inconsistently. A
RETURNING clause on the INSERT or UPDATE statement targeting the view
would cause the finally-inserted tuple to be read back, and the WITH
CHECK OPTION violation would throw an error. But without a RETURNING
clause, postgres_fdw would not read the final tuple back, and WITH
CHECK OPTION would not throw an error for the violation (or may throw
an error when there is no real violation). AFTER ROW triggers on the
foreign table had a similar effect as a RETURNING clause on the INSERT
or UPDATE statement.
To fix, this commit retrieves the attributes needed to enforce the
WITH CHECK OPTION constraint along with the attributes needed for the
RETURNING clause (if any) from the remote side. Thus, the WITH CHECK
OPTION constraint is always evaluated against the final tuple after
any triggers on the remote side.
This fix may be considered inconsistent with CHECK constraints
declared on foreign tables, which are not enforced locally at all
(because the constraint is on a remote object). The discussion
concluded that this difference is reasonable, because the WITH CHECK
OPTION is a constraint on the local view (not any remote object);
therefore it only makes sense to enforce its WITH CHECK OPTION
constraint locally.

Previously, we passed the toplevel PlannerInfo, but we actually want

Without these fixes, changes to the inserted tuple made by remote
triggers are ignored when building local RETURNING tuples.
In the core code, call ExecInitRoutingInfo at a later point from
within ExecInitPartitionInfo so that the FDW callback gets invoked
after the returning list has been built. But move CheckValidResultRel
out of ExecInitRoutingInfo so that it can happen at an earlier stage.
In postgres_fdw, refactor assorted deparsing functions to work with
the RTE rather than the PlannerInfo, which saves us having to
construct a fake PlannerInfo in cases where we don't have a real one.
Then, we can pass down a constructed RTE that yields the correct
deparse result when no real one exists. Unfortunately, this
necessitates a hack that understands how the core code manages RT
indexes for update tuple routing, which is ugly, but we don't have a
better idea right now.

On further reflection, commit e5d83995e didn't go far enough: pretty much
everywhere in the planner that examines a clause's is_pushed_down flag
ought to be changed to use the more complicated behavior where we also
check the clause's required_relids. Otherwise we could make incorrect
decisions about whether, say, a clause is safe to use as a hash clause.
Some (many?) of these places are safe as-is, either because they are
never reached while considering a parameterized path, or because there
are additional checks that would reject a pushed-down clause anyway.
However, it seems smarter to just code them all the same way rather
than rely on easily-broken reasoning of that sort.
In support of that, invent a new macro RINFO_IS_PUSHED_DOWN that should
be used in place of direct tests on the is_pushed_down flag.

We've made multiple attempts to stabilize the plans shown by commit
1bc0100d2, with little success so far. The reason for the remaining
instability seems to be that if a transaction (such as auto-analyze)
is running concurrently with the test, then get_actual_variable_range may
return a maximum value for "T 1"."C 1" that's far away from the actual max,
as a result of our having transiently inserted such a value earlier in
the test. Because we use a non-MVCC snapshot to fetch the value (for
performance reasons), the presence of other transactions can cause that
function to return entries that are actually dead.
To fix, use a less extreme value in the earlier transient insertion, so
that whether it is visible or not won't affect the selectivity estimate.
The use of 9999 there seems to have been picked with the aid of a
dartboard anyway, rather than having a specific reason.

We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

If the toplevel scan/join target list is parallel-safe, postpone
generating Gather (or Gather Merge) paths until after the toplevel has
been adjusted to return it. This (correctly) makes queries with
expensive functions in the target list more likely to choose a
parallel plan, since the cost of the plan now reflects the fact that
the evaluation will happen in the workers rather than the leader.
The original complaint about this problem was from Jeff Janes.
If the toplevel scan/join relation is partitioned, recursively apply
the changes to all partitions. This sometimes allows us to get rid of
Result nodes, because Append is not projection-capable but its
children may be. It also cleans up what appears to be incorrect SRF
handling from commit e2f1eb0ee30d144628ab523432320f174a2c8966: the old
code had no knowledge of SRFs for child scan/join rels.
Because we now use create_projection_path() in some cases where we
formerly used apply_projection_to_path(), this changes the ordering
of columns in some queries generated by postgres_fdw. Update
regression outputs accordingly.

In principle the outputs of these queries should be stable, since the table

Even after commit 882ea509fe, some
buildfarm members are still failing in the postgres_fdw tests.
Try to fix that by disabling use of remote statistics for some
test cases.

Commit 1bc0100d27 added these tests,
but they're not stable enough to survive in the buildfarm. Remove
CTIDs from the output in the hopes of fixing that.
Commit 0bf3ae88af allowed direct
foreign table modification; instead of fetching each row, updating
it locally, and then pushing the modification back to the remote
side, we would instead do all the work on the remote server via a
single remote UPDATE or DELETE command. However, that commit only
enabled this optimization when join tree consisted only of the
target table.
This change allows the same optimization when an UPDATE statement
has a FROM clause or a DELETE statement has a USING clause. This
works much like ordinary foreign join pushdown, in that the tables
must be on the same remote server, relevant parts of the query
must be pushdown-safe, and so forth.

Commit 4bbf6edfbd added a test case,
but it turns out that the test case doesn't reliably test for the
bug, and in the context of the regression test suite did not because
ANALYZE had not been run.

When pushing down a join to a foreign server, postgres_fdw constructs
an alternative plan to be used for any EvalPlanQual rechecks that
prove to be necessary. This plan is stored as the outer subplan of
the Foreign Scan implementing the pushed-down join. Previously, this
alternative plan could have a different nominal sort ordering than its
parent, which seemed OK since there will only be one tuple per base
table anyway in the case of an EvalPlanQual recheck. Actually,
though, it caused a problem if that path was used as a building block
for the EvalPlanQual recheck plan of a higher-level foreign join,
because we could end up with a merge join one of whose inputs was not
labelled with the correct sort order. Repair by injecting an extra
Sort node into the EvalPlanQual recheck plan whenever it would
otherwise fail to be sorted at least as well as its parent Foreign
Scan.

Commit 7012b132d, which added the ability to push down aggregates and
grouping to the remote server, wasn't careful to ensure that the remote
server would have the same idea we do about which columns are the grouping
columns, in cases where there are textually identical GROUP BY expressions.
Such cases typically led to "targetlist item has multiple sortgroupref
labels" errors.
To fix this reliably, switch over to using "GROUP BY column-number" syntax
rather than "GROUP BY expression" in transmitted queries, and adjust
foreign_grouping_ok() to be more careful about duplicating the sortgroupref
labeling of the local pathtarget.
Per bug #14890 from Sean Johnston. Back-patch to v10 where the buggy code
was introduced.

This is a backward incompatibility which should be noted in the
release notes for PostgreSQL 11.
For security reasons, we require that a postgres_fdw foreign table use
password authentication when accessing a remote server, so that an
unprivileged user cannot usurp the server's credentials. Superusers
are exempt from this requirement, because we assume they are entitled
to usurp the server's credentials or, at least, can find some other
way to do it.
But what should happen when the foreign table is accessed by a view
owned by a user different from the session user? Is it the view owner
that must be a superuser in order to avoid the requirement of using a
password, or the session user? Historically it was the latter, but
this requirement makes it the former instead. This allows superusers
to delegate to other users the right to select from a foreign table
that doesn't use password authentication by creating a view over the
foreign table and handing out rights to the view. It is also more
consistent with the idea that access to a view should use the view
owner's privileges rather than the session user's privileges.
The upshot of this change is that a superuser selecting from a view
created by a non-superuser may now get an error complaining that no
password was used, while a non-superuser selecting from a view
created by a superuser will no longer receive such an error.
No documentation changes are present in this patch because the
wording of the documentation already suggests that it works this
way. We should perhaps adjust the documentation in the back-branches,
but that's a task for another patch.
Originally proposed by Jeff Janes, but with different semantics;
adjusted to work like this by me per discussion.

Antonin Houska reported that the planner does consider pushing
postgres_fdw_abs() to the remote side, which happens because we make
it shippable earlier in the test case file.
Jeevan Chalke provided this patch, which changes the join
condition to use random(), which is not shippable, instead.
Antonin reviewed the patch.
