Commit 6b466bf5f2 allowed pg_stat_statements to track the number of
WAL records, full page images and bytes that each statement generated.
Similarly this commit allows us to track the cluster-wide WAL statistics

New columns wal_records, wal_fpi and wal_bytes are added into the

full page images and bytes generated in the , respectively.

This commit changes restore_command from PGC_POSTMASTER to PGC_SIGHUP.
As the side effect of this commit, restore_command can be reset to
empty during archive recovery. In this setting, archive recovery
tries to replay only WAL files available in pg_wal directory. This is
the same behavior as when the command that always fails is specified
in restore_command.
Note that restore_command still must be specified (not empty) when
starting archive recovery, even after applying this commit. This is
necessary as the safeguard to prevent users from forgetting to
specify restore_command and starting archive recovery.

Checking for DocBook being installed was valuable when we were on the
OpenSP docs toolchain, because that was rather hard to get installed
fully. Nowadays, as long as you have xmllint and xsltproc installed,
you're good, because those programs will fetch the DocBook files off
the net at need. Moreover, testing this at configure time means that
a network access may well occur whether or not you have any interest
in building the docs later. That can be slow (typically 2 or 3
seconds, though much higher delays have been reported), and it seems
not very nice to be doing an off-machine access without warning, too.
Hence, drop the PGAC_CHECK_DOCBOOK probe, and adjust related
documentation. Without that macro, there's not much left of
config/docbook.m4 at all, so I just removed it.

If more distinct statements than pg_stat_statements.max are observed,
pg_stat_statements entries about the least-executed statements are
deallocated. This commit enables us to track the total number of times
those entries were deallocated. That number can be viewed in the
pg_stat_statements_info view that this commit adds. It's useful when
tuning pg_stat_statements.max parameter. If it's high, i.e., the entries
are deallocated very frequently, which might cause the performance
regression and we can increase pg_stat_statements.max to avoid those
frequent deallocations.
The pg_stat_statements_info view is intended to display the statistics
of pg_stat_statements module itself. Currently it has only one column
"dealloc" indicating the number of times entries were deallocated.
But an upcoming patch will add other columns (for example, the time
at which pg_stat_statements statistics were last reset) into the view.

As per discussion with Peter Eisentraunt, the SQL standard specifies
that any tuple insertion done as part of CREATE TABLE AS happens without
any extra ACL check, so it makes little sense to keep a check for INSERT
privileges when using WITH DATA. Materialized views are not part of the
standard, but similarly, this check can be confusing as this refers to
an access check on a table created within the same command as the one
that would insert data into this table.
This commit removes the INSERT privilege check for WITH DATA, the
default, that 846005e removed partially, but only for WITH NO DATA.

This feature was added a long time ago, in 7c1e67bd5 and eb121ba2c,
but never documented in any user-facing way. (Documentation added
in 6126d3e70 was commented out almost immediately, in 8272fc3f7.)
That's because, while this syntax is defined by SQL:99, our
implementation is only vaguely related to the standard's semantics.
The standard appears to intend a run-time not parse-time test, and
it definitely intends that the test should understand subtype
relationships.
No one has stepped up to fix that in the intervening years, but
people keep coming across the code and asking why it's not documented.
Let's just get rid of it: if anyone ever wants to make it work per
spec, they can easily recover whatever parts of this code are still
of value from our git history.
If there's anyone out there who's actually using this despite its
undocumented status, they can switch to using pg_typeof() instead,
eg. "pg_typeof(something) = 'mytype'::regtype". That gives
essentially the same semantics as what our IS OF code did.
(We didn't have that function last time this was discussed, or
we would have ripped out IS OF then.)

When specified, WITH NO DATA does not insert any data into the relation
created, so skip checking for the insert permissions. With WITH DATA or
WITH NO DATA, it is always required for the user to have CREATE
privileges on the schema targeted for the relation.
Note that plain CREATE TABLE AS or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW queries have
begun to work accidentally without INSERT privilege checks as of
874fe3ae, while using EXECUTE or EXPLAIN ANALYZE would fail with the ACL
check, so this makes the behavior for all the command flavors consistent
with each other. This is arguably a bug fix, but there have been no
complaints about the current behavior either so stable branches are not
changed.
While on it, document properly the privileges requirements for each
commands with more tests for all the scenarios possible, and avoid a
useless bulk-insert allocation when using WITH NO DATA.

This makes use of CheckBuffer() introduced in c780a7a, adding a SQL
wrapper able to do checks for all the pages of a relation. By default,
all the fork types of a relation are checked, and it is possible to
check only a given relation fork. Note that if the relation given in
input has no physical storage or is temporary, then no errors are
generated, allowing full-database checks when coupled with a simple scan
of pg_class for example. This is not limited to clusters with data
checksums enabled, as clusters without data checksums can still apply
checks on pages using the page headers or for the case of a page full of
zeros.
This function returns a set of tuples consisting of:
- The physical file where a broken page has been detected (without the
segment number as that can be AM-dependent, which can be guessed from
the block number for heap). A relative path from PGPATH is used.
- The block number of the broken page.
By default, only superusers have an access to this function but
execution rights can be granted to other users.
The feature introduced here is still minimal, and more improvements
could be done, like:
- Addition of a start and end block number to run checks on a range
of blocks, which would apply only if one fork type is checked.
- Addition of some progress reporting.
- Throttling, with configuration parameters in function input or
potentially some cost-based GUCs.
Regression tests are added for positive cases in the main regression
test suite, and TAP tests are added for cases involving the emulation of
page corruptions.

Instead of immediately PQfinish'ing a dead connection, save it aside
so that we can still extract its parameters for \connect attempts.
(This works because PQconninfo doesn't care whether the PGconn is in
CONNECTION_BAD state.) This allows developers to reconnect with
just \c after a database crash and restart.
It's tempting to use the same approach instead of closing the old
connection after a failed non-interactive \connect command. However,
that would not be very safe: consider a script containing
\c db1 user1 live_server
\c db2 user2 dead_server
\c db3
The script would be expecting to connect to db3 at dead_server, but
if we re-use parameters from the first connection then it might
successfully connect to db3 at live_server. This'd defeat the goal
of not letting a script accidentally execute commands against the
wrong database.

The order of AuthenticationGSSContinue and AuthenticationSSPI was
swapped, based on the other Authentication* protocol messages being
listed in subcode order.
ECPG's PREPARE ... FROM and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE can optionally take
the target query as a simple literal, rather than the more usual
string-variable reference. This was previously documented as
being a C string literal, but that's a lie in one critical respect:
you can't write a data double quote as \" in such literals. That's
because the lexer is in SQL mode at this point, so it'll parse
double-quoted strings as SQL identifiers, within which backslash
is not special, so \" ends the literal.
I looked into making this work as documented, but getting the lexer
to switch behaviors at just the right point is somewhere between
very difficult and impossible. It's not really worth the trouble,
because these cases are next to useless: if you have a fixed SQL
statement to execute or prepare, you might as well write it as
a direct EXEC SQL, saving the messiness of converting it into
a string literal and gaining the opportunity for compile-time
SQL syntax checking.
Instead, let's just document (and test) the workaround of writing
a double quote as an octal escape (\042) in such cases.
There's no code behavioral change here, so in principle this could

If you write the literal 'abc''def' in an EXEC SQL command, that will
come out the other end as 'abc'def', triggering a syntax error in the
backend. Likewise, "abc""def" is reduced to "abc"def" which is wrong
syntax for a quoted identifier.
The cause is that the lexer thinks it should emit just one quote
mark, whereas what it really should do is keep the string as-is.
Add some docs and test cases, too.
Although this seems clearly a bug, I fear users wouldn't appreciate
changing it in minor releases. Some may well be working around it
by applying an extra doubling of affected quotes, as for example
sql/dyntest.pgc has been doing.

The check for whether to complain about not having an old connection
to get parameters from was seriously out of date: it had not been
rethought when we invented connstrings, nor when we invented the
-reuse-previous option. Replace it with a check that throws an
error if reuse-previous is active and we lack an old connection to
reuse. While that doesn't move the goalposts very far in terms of
easing reconnection after a server crash, at least it's consistent.
If the user specifies a connstring plus additional parameters
(which is invalid per the documentation), the extra parameters were
silently ignored. That seems like it could be really confusing,
so let's throw a syntax error instead.
Teach the connstring code path to re-use the old connection's password
in the same cases as the old-style-syntax code path would, ie if we
are reusing parameters and the values of username, host/hostaddr, and
port are not being changed. Document this behavior, too, since it was
unmentioned before. Also simplify the implementation a bit, giving
rise to two new and useful properties: if there's a "password=xxx" in
the connstring, we'll use it not ignore it, and by default (i.e.,
except with --no-password) we will prompt for a password if the
re-used password or connstring password doesn't work. The previous
code just failed if the re-used password didn't work.
Given the paucity of field complaints about these issues, I don't
think that they rise to the level of back-patchable bug fixes,
and in any case they might represent undesirable behavior changes
in minor releases. So no back-patch.

psql's \connect claims to be able to re-use previous connection
parameters, but in fact it only re-uses the database name, user name,
host name (and possibly hostaddr, depending on version), and port.
This is problematic for assorted use cases. Notably, pg_dump[all]
emits "\connect databasename" commands which we would like to have
re-use all other parameters. If such a script is loaded in a psql run
that initially had "-d connstring" with some non-default parameters,
those other parameters would be lost, potentially causing connection
failure. (Thus, this is the same kind of bug addressed in commits
a45bc8a4f and 8e5793ab6, although the details are much different.)
To fix, redesign do_connect() so that it pulls out all properties
of the old PGconn using PQconninfo(), and then replaces individual
properties in that array. In the case where we don't wish to re-use
anything, get libpq's default settings using PQconndefaults() and
replace entries in that, so that we don't need different code paths
for the two cases.
This does result in an additional behavioral change for cases where
the original connection parameters allowed multiple hosts, say
"psql -h host1,host2", and the \connect request allows re-use of the
host setting. Because the previous coding relied on PQhost(), it
would only permit reconnection to the same host originally selected.
Although one can think of scenarios where that's a good thing, there
are others where it is not. Moreover, that behavior doesn't seem to
meet the principle of least surprise, nor was it documented; nor is
it even clear it was intended, since that coding long pre-dates the
addition of multi-host support to libpq. Hence, this patch is content
to drop it and re-use the host list as given.

When told to process all databases, clusterdb, reindexdb, and vacuumdb
would reconnect by replacing their --maintenance-db parameter with the
name of the target database. If that parameter is a connstring (which
has been allowed for a long time, though we failed to document that
before this patch), we'd lose any other options it might specify, for
example SSL or GSS parameters, possibly resulting in failure to connect.
Thus, this is the same bug as commit a45bc8a4f fixed in pg_dump and
pg_restore. We can fix it in the same way, by using libpq's rules for
handling multiple "dbname" parameters to add the target database name
separately. I chose to apply the same refactoring approach as in that
patch, with a struct to handle the command line parameters that need to
be passed through to connectDatabase. (Maybe someday we can unify the
very similar functions here and in pg_dump/pg_restore.)

The Windows documentation insists that every WSAStartup call should
have a matching WSACleanup call. However, if that ever had actual
relevance, it wasn't in this century. Every remotely-modern Windows
kernel is capable of cleaning up when a process exits without doing
that, and must be so to avoid resource leaks in case of a process
crash. Moreover, Postgres backends have done WSAStartup without
WSACleanup since commit 4cdf51e64 in 2004, and we've never seen any
indication of a problem with that.
libpq's habit of doing WSAStartup during connection start and
WSACleanup during shutdown is also rather inefficient, since a
series of non-overlapping connection requests leads to repeated,
quite expensive DLL unload/reload cycles. We document a workaround
for that (having the application call WSAStartup for itself), but
that's just a kluge. It's also worth noting that it's far from
uncommon for applications to exit without doing PQfinish, and
we've not heard reports of trouble from that either.
However, the real reason for acting on this is that recent
experiments by Alexander Lakhin suggest that calling WSACleanup
during PQfinish might be triggering the symptom we occasionally see
that a process using libpq fails to emit expected stdio output.
Therefore, let's change libpq so that it calls WSAStartup only
once per process, during the first connection attempt, and never
calls WSACleanup at all.
While at it, get rid of the only other WSACleanup call in our code
tree, in pg_dump/parallel.c; that presumably is equally useless.
If this proves to suppress the fairly-common ecpg test failures
we see on Windows, I'll back-patch, but for now let's just do it
in HEAD and see what happens.

Section 8.5.1.4, which defines these literals, made only a vague
reference to the fact that they might be evaluated too soon to be
safe in non-interactive contexts. Provide a more explicit caution
against misuse. Also, generalize the wording in the related tip in
section 9.9.4: while it clearly described this problem, it implied
(or really, stated outright) that the problem only applies to table
DEFAULT clauses.

I removed the duplicate command tags for START_REPLICATION inadvertently
in commit 07082b08cc, but the replication protocol requires them. The
fact that the replication protocol was broken was not noticed because
all our test cases use an optimized code path that exits early, failing
to verify that the behavior is correct for non-optimized cases. Put
them back.
Also document this protocol quirk.
Add a test case that shows the failure. It might still succeed even
without the patch when run on a fast enough server, but it suffices to
show the bug in enough cases that it would be noticed in buildfarm.

FDWs that can perform an UPDATE/DELETE remotely using the "direct modify"
set of APIs need to access the ResultRelInfo of the target table. That's
currently available in EState.es_result_relation_info, but the next
commit will remove that field.
This commit adds a new resultRelation field in ForeignScan, to store the
target relation's RT index, and the corresponding ResultRelInfo in
ForeignScanState. The FDW's PlanDirectModify callback is expected to set
'resultRelation' along with 'operation'. The core code doesn't need them
for anything, they are for the convenience of FDW's Begin- and
IterateDirectModify callbacks.

Commit 16fa9b2b3 broke the ability to reliably test GiST buffered builds,
because it caused sorted builds to be done instead if sortsupport is
available, regardless of any attempt to override that. While a would-be
test case could try to work around that by choosing an opclass that has
no sortsupport function, coverage would be silently lost the moment
someone decides it'd be a good idea to add a sortsupport function.
Hence, rearrange the logic in gistbuild() so that if "buffering = on"
is specified in CREATE INDEX, we will use that method, sortsupport or no.
Also document the interaction between sorting and the buffering
parameter, as 16fa9b2b3 failed to do.
(Note that in fact we still lack any test coverage of buffered builds,
but this is a prerequisite to adding a non-fragile test.)
