Alvaro Herrera 499be013de Support partition pruning at execution time
Existing partition pruning is only able to work at plan time, for query
quals that appear in the parsed query.  This is good but limiting, as
there can be parameters that appear later that can be usefully used to
further prune partitions.

This commit adds support for pruning subnodes of Append which cannot
possibly contain any matching tuples, during execution, by evaluating
Params to determine the minimum set of subnodes that can possibly match.
We support more than just simple Params in WHERE clauses. Support
additionally includes:

1. Parameterized Nested Loop Joins: The parameter from the outer side of the
   join can be used to determine the minimum set of inner side partitions to
   scan.

2. Initplans: Once an initplan has been executed we can then determine which
   partitions match the value from the initplan.

Partition pruning is performed in two ways.  When Params external to the plan
are found to match the partition key we attempt to prune away unneeded Append
subplans during the initialization of the executor.  This allows us to bypass
the initialization of non-matching subplans meaning they won't appear in the
EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE output.

For parameters whose value is only known during the actual execution
then the pruning of these subplans must wait.  Subplans which are
eliminated during this stage of pruning are still visible in the EXPLAIN
output.  In order to determine if pruning has actually taken place, the
EXPLAIN ANALYZE must be viewed.  If a certain Append subplan was never
executed due to the elimination of the partition then the execution
timing area will state "(never executed)".  Whereas, if, for example in
the case of parameterized nested loops, the number of loops stated in
the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for certain subplans may appear lower than
others due to the subplan having been scanned fewer times.  This is due
to the list of matching subnodes having to be evaluated whenever a
parameter which was found to match the partition key changes.

This commit required some additional infrastructure that permits the
building of a data structure which is able to perform the translation of
the matching partition IDs, as returned by get_matching_partitions, into
the list index of a subpaths list, as exist in node types such as
Append, MergeAppend and ModifyTable.  This allows us to translate a list
of clauses into a Bitmapset of all the subpath indexes which must be
included to satisfy the clause list.

Teodor Sigaev 8224de4f42 Indexes with INCLUDE columns and their support in B-tree
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.

Stephen Frost 11523e860f Support new default roles with adminpack
This provides a newer version of adminpack which works with the newly
added default roles to support GRANT'ing to non-superusers access to
read and write files, along with related functions (unlinking files,
getting file length, renaming/removing files, scanning the log file
directory) which are supported through adminpack.

Note that new versions of the functions are required because an
environment might have an updated version of the library but still have
the old adminpack 1.0 catalog definitions (where EXECUTE is GRANT'd to
PUBLIC for the functions).

This patch also removes the long-deprecated alternative names for
functions that adminpack used to include and which are now included in
the backend, in adminpack v1.1.  Applications using the deprecated names
should be updated to use the backend functions instead.  Existing
installations which continue to use adminpack v1.0 should continue to
function until/unless adminpack is upgraded.

Stephen Frost 0fdc8495bf Add default roles for file/program access
This patch adds new default roles named 'pg_read_server_files',
'pg_write_server_files', 'pg_execute_server_program' which
allow an administrator to GRANT to a non-superuser role the ability to
access server-side files or run programs through PostgreSQL (as the user
the database is running as).  Having one of these roles allows a
non-superuser to use server-side COPY to read, write, or with a program,
and to use file_fdw (if installed by a superuser and GRANT'd USAGE on
it) to read from files or run a program.

The existing misc file functions are also changed to allow a user with
the 'pg_read_server_files' default role to read any files on the
filesystem, matching the privileges given to that role through COPY and
file_fdw from above.

Magnus Hagander 1fde38beaa Allow on-line enabling and disabling of data checksums
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.

Teodor Sigaev 857f9c36cd Skip full index scan during cleanup of B-tree indexes when possible
Vacuum of index consists from two stages: multiple (zero of more) ambulkdelete
calls and one amvacuumcleanup call. When workload on particular table
is append-only, then autovacuum isn't intended to touch this table. However,
user may run vacuum manually in order to fill visibility map and get benefits
of index-only scans. Then ambulkdelete wouldn't be called for indexes
of such table (because no heap tuples were deleted), only amvacuumcleanup would
be called In this case, amvacuumcleanup would perform full index scan for
two objectives: put recyclable pages into free space map and update index
statistics.

This patch allows btvacuumclanup to skip full index scan when two conditions
are satisfied: no pages are going to be put into free space map and index
statistics isn't stalled. In order to check first condition, we store
oldest btpo_xact in the meta-page. When it's precedes RecentGlobalXmin, then
there are some recyclable pages. In order to check second condition we store
number of heap tuples observed during previous full index scan by cleanup.
If fraction of newly inserted tuples is less than
vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor, then statistics isn't considered to be
stalled. vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor can be defined as both reloption and GUC (default).

This patch bumps B-tree meta-page version. Upgrade of meta-page is performed
"on the fly": during VACUUM meta-page is rewritten with new version. No special
handling in pg_upgrade is required.

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,

it possible to break down the toplevel aggregation into one
aggregate per partition.  This commit lets postgres_fdw push down
aggregation in that case just as it does at the top level.

In order to make this work, this commit adds an additional argument
to the GetForeignUpperPaths FDW API.  A matching argument is added
to the signature for create_upper_paths_hook.  Third-party code using
either of these will need to be updated.

Also adjust create_foreignscan_plan() so that it picks up the correct

Andres Freund 7f563c09f8 Add amcheck verification of heap relations belonging to btree indexes.
Add a new, optional, capability to bt_index_check() and
bt_index_parent_check():  check that each heap tuple that should have an
index entry does in fact have one.  The extra checking is performed at
the end of the existing nbtree checks.

This is implemented by using a Bloom filter data structure.  The
implementation performs set membership tests within a callback (the same
type of callback that each index AM registers for CREATE INDEX).  The
Bloom filter is populated during the initial index verification scan.

Reusing the CREATE INDEX infrastructure allows the new verification
option to automatically benefit from the heap consistency checks that
CREATE INDEX already performs.  CREATE INDEX does thorough sanity
checking of HOT chains, so the new check actually manages to detect
problems in heap-only tuples.

Peter Eisentraut 056a5a3f63 Allow committing inside cursor loop
Previously, committing or aborting inside a cursor loop was prohibited
because that would close and remove the cursor.  To allow that,
automatically convert such cursors to holdable cursors so they survive
commits or rollbacks.  Portals now have a new state "auto-held", which
means they have been converted automatically from pinned.  An auto-held
portal is kept on transaction commit or rollback, but is still removed
when returning to the main loop on error.

This supports all languages that have cursor loop constructs: PL/pgSQL,
PL/Python, PL/Perl.

Andres Freund e6c039d13e Add documentation for the JIT feature.
As promised in earlier commits, this adds documentation about the new
build options, the new GUCs, about the planner logic when JIT is used,
and the benefits of JIT in general.

Also adds a more implementation oriented README.

I'm sure we're going to want to expand this further, but I think this
is a reasonable start.

Fujii Masao 266b6acb31 Make pg_rewind skip files and directories that are removed during server start.
The target cluster that was rewound needs to perform recovery from
the checkpoint created at failover, which leads it to remove or recreate
some files and directories that may have been copied from the source
cluster. So pg_rewind can skip synchronizing such files and directories,
and which reduces the amount of data transferred during a rewind
without changing the usefulness of the operation.

Peter Eisentraut d92bc83c48 PL/pgSQL: Nested CALL with transactions
So far, a nested CALL or DO in PL/pgSQL would not establish a context
where transaction control statements were allowed.  This fixes that by
handling CALL and DO specially in PL/pgSQL, passing the atomic/nonatomic
execution context through and doing the required management around
transaction boundaries.

Andrew Dunstan 16828d5c02 Fast ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a non-NULL default
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.

Andrew Dunstan, heavily modified from an original patch from Serge
Rielau.

Simon Riggs c203d6cf81 Allow HOT updates for some expression indexes
If the value of an index expression is unchanged after UPDATE,
allow HOT updates where previously we disallowed them, giving
a significant performance boost in those cases.

Particularly useful for indexes such as JSON->>field where the
JSON value changes but the indexed value does not.

Submitted as "surjective indexes" patch, now enabled by use
of new "recheck_on_update" parameter.

Peter Eisentraut 1944cdc982 libpq: PQhost to return active connected host or hostaddr
Previously, PQhost didn't return the connected host details when the
connection type was CHT_HOST_ADDRESS (i.e., via hostaddr).  Instead, it
returned the complete host connection parameter (which could contain
multiple hosts) or the default host details, which was confusing and
arguably incorrect.

Change this to return the actually connected host or hostaddr
irrespective of the connection type.  When hostaddr but no host was
specified, hostaddr is now returned.  Never return the original host
connection parameter, and document that PQhost cannot be relied on
before the connection is established.

PQport is similarly changed to always return the active connection port
and never the original connection parameter.
