Partially revert commit c079673dcb.
There were complaints that splitting switch descriptions would
complicate translation efforts. There are probably ways to resolve
the formatting problem without doing that, but undo it while we're
discussing.
When stdin is a terminal, it's possible to end a COPY FROM STDIN with
a keyboard EOF signal (typically control-D), and then keep on issuing
SQL commands. One would expect another COPY FROM STDIN to work as well,
but on some platforms it did not. This turns out to be because we were
not resetting the stream's feof() flag, and BSD-ish versions of fread()
and fgets() won't attempt to read more data if that's set.
The misbehavior is observed on BSDen (including macOS), but not Linux,
Windows, or SysV-ish Unixen, which makes this a portability bug not
just a missing feature.
Add a clearerr() call to fix the behavior, and improve the prompt that's
issued when copying from a TTY to mention that EOF signals work.
It's been like this forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Reformat various places in which pgindent will make a mess, and
fix a few small violations of coding style that I happened to notice
while perusing the diffs from a pgindent dry run.
There is one actual bug fix here: the need-to-enlarge-the-buffer code
path in icu_convert_case was obviously broken. Perhaps it's unreachable
in our usage? Or maybe this is just sadly undertested.
Consistently refer to such an entry as a "statistics object", not just
"statistics" or "extended statistics". Previously we had a mismash of
terms, accompanied by utter confusion as to whether the term was
singular or plural. That's not only grating (at least to the ear of
a native English speaker) but could be outright misleading, eg in error
messages that seemed to be referring to multiple objects where only one
could be meant.
This commit fixes the code and a lot of comments (though I may have
missed a few). I also renamed two new SQL functions,
pg_get_statisticsextdef -> pg_get_statisticsobjdef
pg_statistic_ext_is_visible -> pg_statistics_obj_is_visible
to conform better with this terminology.
I have not touched the SGML docs other than fixing those function
names; the docs certainly need work but it seems like a separable task.

Tab-completing DROP STATISTICS would only work if you started writing
the schema name containing the statistics object, because the visibility
clause was missing. To add it, we need to add SQL-callable support for
testing visibility of a statistics object, like all other object types
already have.

Previously, we had the WITH clause in the middle of the command, where
you'd specify both generic options as well as statistic types. Few
people liked this, so this commit changes it to remove the WITH keyword
from that clause and makes it accept statistic types only. (We
currently don't have any generic options, but if we invent in the
future, we will gain a new WITH clause, probably at the end of the
command).
Also, the column list is now specified without parens, which makes the
whole command look more similar to a SELECT command. This change will
let us expand the command to supporting expressions (not just columns
names) as well as multiple tables and their join conditions.
Tom added lots of code comments and fixed some parts of the CREATE
STATISTICS reference page, too; more changes in this area are
forthcoming. He also fixed a potential problem in the alter_generic
regression test, reducing verbosity on a cascaded drop to avoid
dependency on message ordering, as we do in other tests.
Tom also closed a security bug: we documented that table ownership was
required in order to create a statistics object on it, but didn't
actually implement it.
Implement tab-completion for statistics objects. This can stand some
more improvement.

Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long
time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're
messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway.
Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since
storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD
'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does
the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'.
Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept
--encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was
a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password
before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It
added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was
already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation
was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now.
Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for
'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted
value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing
'plain', but it seems better this way.

This gets rid of the code that issued separate queries to retrieve the
partitioning parent-child relationship, parent partition key, and child
partition bound information. With this patch, the information is
retrieved instead using the queries issued from getTables() and
getInherits(), which is both more efficient than the previous approach
and doesn't require any new code.
Since the partitioning parent-child relationship is now retrieved with
the same old code that handles inheritance, partition attributes receive
a proper flagInhAttrs() treatment (that it didn't receive before), which
is needed so that the inherited NOT NULL constraints are not emitted if
we already emitted it for the parent.
Also, fix a bug in pg_dump's --binary-upgrade code, which caused pg_dump

Declarative partitioning duplicated the TypedTableElement productions,
evidently to remove the need to specify WITH OPTIONS when creating
partitions. Instead, simply make WITH OPTIONS optional in the
TypedTableElement production and remove all of the duplicate
PartitionElement-related productions. This change simplifies the
syntax and makes WITH OPTIONS optional when adding defaults, constraints
or storage parameters to columns when creating either typed tables or
partitions.
Also update pg_dump to no longer include WITH OPTIONS, since it's not
necessary, and update the documentation to reflect that WITH OPTIONS is
now optional.
pg_basebackup's child process did not pay any attention to the pipe
from its parent while waiting for input from the source server.
If no server data was arriving, it would only wake up and check the
pipe every standby_message_timeout or so. This creates a problem
since the parent process might determine and send the desired stop
position only after the server has reached end-of-WAL and stopped
sending data. In the src/test/recovery regression tests, the timing
is repeatably such that it takes nearly 10 seconds for the child
process to realize that it should shut down. It's not clear how
often that would happen in real-world cases, but it sure seems like
a bug --- and if the user turns off standby_message_timeout or sets
it very large, the delay could be a lot worse.
To fix, expand the StreamCtl API to allow the pipe input FD to be
passed down to the low-level wait routine, and watch both sockets
when sleeping.
(Note: AFAICS this issue doesn't affect the Windows port, since
it doesn't rely on a pipe to transfer the stop position to the
child thread.)

The POSIX standard does not say that the success return value for
fcntl(F_SETFD) and fcntl(F_SETFL) is zero; it says only that it's not -1.
We had several calls that were making the stronger assumption. Adjust
them to test specifically for -1 for strict spec compliance.
The standard further leaves open the possibility that the O_NONBLOCK
flag bit is not the only active one in F_SETFL's argument. Formally,
therefore, one ought to get the current flags with F_GETFL and store
them back with only the O_NONBLOCK bit changed when trying to change
the nonblock state. In port/noblock.c, we were doing the full pushup
in pg_set_block but not in pg_set_noblock, which is just weird. Make
both of them do it properly, since they have little business making
any assumptions about the socket they're handed. The other places
where we're issuing F_SETFL are working with FDs we just got from
pipe(2), so it's reasonable to assume the FDs' properties are all
default, so I didn't bother adding F_GETFL steps there.
Also, while pg_set_block deserves some points for trying to do things
right, somebody had decided that it'd be even better to cast fcntl's
third argument to "long". Which is completely loony, because POSIX
clearly says the third argument for an F_SETFL call is "int".
Given the lack of field complaints, these missteps apparently are not
of significance on any common platforms. But they're still wrong,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

Per discussion, plain "scram" is confusing because we actually implement
SCRAM-SHA-256 rather than the original SCRAM that uses SHA-1 as the hash
algorithm. If we add support for SCRAM-SHA-512 or some other mechanism in
the SCRAM family in the future, that would become even more confusing.
Most of the internal files and functions still use just "scram" as a
shorthand for SCRMA-SHA-256, but I did change PASSWORD_TYPE_SCRAM to
PASSWORD_TYPE_SCRAM_SHA_256, as that could potentially be used by 3rd
party extensions that hook into the password-check hook.
Michael Paquier did this in an earlier version of the SCRAM patch set

Previously, text between backquotes in a psql metacommand's arguments
was always passed to the shell literally. That considerably hobbles
the usefulness of the feature for scripting, so we'd foreseen for a long
time that we'd someday want to allow substitution of psql variables into
the shell command. IMO the addition of \if metacommands has brought us to
that point, since \if can greatly benefit from some sort of client-side
expression evaluation capability, and psql itself is not going to grow any
such thing in time for v10. Hence, this patch. It allows :VARIABLE to be
replaced by the exact contents of the named variable, while :'VARIABLE'
is replaced by the variable's contents suitably quoted to become a single
shell-command argument. (The quoting rules for that are different from
those for SQL literals, so this is a bit of an abuse of the :'VARIABLE'
notation, but I doubt anyone will be confused.)
As with other situations in psql, no substitution occurs if the word
following a colon is not a known variable name. That limits the risk of
compatibility problems for existing psql scripts; but the risk isn't zero,
so this needs to be called out in the v10 release notes.

When reporting progress, make the "waiting for checkpoint" test be
overwritten by the file-based progress once it's completed. This is more
consistent with how we report the rest of the progress.
Suggested by Jeff Janes
This patch adds nestable conditional blocks to psql. The control
structure feature per se is complete, but the boolean expressions
understood by \if and \elif are pretty primitive; basically, after
variable substitution and backtick expansion, the result has to be
"true" or "false" or one of the other standard spellings of a boolean
value. But that's enough for many purposes, since you can always
do the heavy lifting on the server side; and we can extend it later.
Along the way, pay down some of the technical debt that had built up
around psql/command.c:
* Refactor exec_command() into a function per command, instead of
being a 1500-line monstrosity. This makes the file noticeably longer
because of repetitive function header/trailer overhead, but it seems
much more readable.
* Teach psql_get_variable() and psqlscanslash.l to suppress variable
substitution and backtick expansion on the basis of the conditional
stack state, thereby allowing removal of the OT_NO_EVAL kluge.
* Fix the no-doubt-once-expedient hack of sometimes silently substituting
mainloop.c's previous_buf for query_buf when calling HandleSlashCmds.
(It's a bit remarkable that commands like \r worked at all with that.)
Recall of a previous query is now done explicitly in the slash commands
where that should happen.

Add support for explicitly declared statistic objects (CREATE

This commit only adds support for collection of n-distinct coefficient

Not every platform supports non-default collations, as pointed out by
the buildfarm, so skip collation-related regression tests in pg_dump
when they aren't supported.
This is really testing getopt more than pg_dump, and what getopt returns
exactly appears to differ based on platform, so remove this test.
Per buildfarm.
These improvements bring the lines-of-code coverage of pg_dump.c up to
87.7% (at least using LCOV 1.12, 1.11 seems to differ slightly). Nearly
every function is covered, three of the four which aren't are only
called when talking to older PG instances.
There is more which can, and should, be done here to improve the
coverage but it's past time to see what the buildfarm thinks of this.
What has been added:
- Coverage for many more command-line options
- Use command_fails_like instead of command_exit_is
- Operator classes, operator families
- Text search configuration, templates, parsers, dictionaries
- FDWs, servers, foreign tables
- Materialized views
- Improved Publications / Subscriptions test (though this needs work,
see PG10 open items and tests marked with XXX in 002_pg_dump.pl)
- Unlogged tables
- Partitioned tables
- Additional ACL testing for various object types
There is room for improvement, specifically:
- Various type-based option (alignment, storage, etc)
- Composite type collation
- Extra Procedural language functions (inline, validator)
- Different function options (SRF, Transform, config, security definer,
cost, leakproof)
- OpClass options (default, storage, order by, recheck)
- OpFamily options (order by, recheck)
- Aggregate functions (combinefunc, serialfunc, deserialfunc, etc)
- Text Search parser 'headline'
- Text Search template 'init'
- FDW options (handler, validator, options)
- Server options (type, version, options)
- User mapping options
- Default ACLs for sequences, types
- Security labels
- View circular dependencies (last function that needs coverage)
- Toast table autovacuum options
- Replica identity options
- Independent indexes (plus marking them as clustered on)
- Deferrable / initially deferred constraints
- Independent domain constraints
There's bits of extension pg_dump'ing also not covered, but those will
need to go into test_pg_dump (such as having a filter for config
tables).
Last, but not least, this approximately halves the number of tests run
with 'ok()' by removing the ok()-based checking of if all runs are
covered by each test. Instead, 002_pg_dump.pl will just exit out in
such a case (with a message in the log file). In general, when adding
tests, cover all runs unless there is a very good reason not to (such as
adding a 'catch-all' case). With these changes, the resulting output
and number of "tests" run is actually reduced.
While \help CREATE would complete usefully, \help DROP or \help ALTER
did not complete anything.
Expand the list of things after CREATE and DROP to cover ALTER as well,
and use that for the ALTER completion. Also make minor tweaks to that
list.
Also add support for completing \help on multiword commands like CREATE
TEXT SEARCH ...

For the moment, the pointer is only passed through to the get_variable

enough to fix things for its purposes.
The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have

the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros. There were only
a few such violations, and all relatively new AFAICT.
Existing style is mostly to inject relkind values into constructed
query strings using %c. I did not bother to touch places that did it
like that, but really a better technique is to stringify the RELKIND
macro, at least in places where you'd want single quotes around the
code character. That avoids any runtime effort and keeps the RELKIND
symbol close to where it's used.

initdb now initializes a pg_hba.conf that allows replication connections
from the local host, same as it does for regular connections. The
connecting user still needs to have the REPLICATION attribute or be a

Not only did it not accept --builtin as a synonym for -b, but what it did
accept as a synonym was --tpc-b (huh?), which it got even further wrong
by marking as no_argument, so that if you did try that you got a core

It can often be useful to use expanded mode output (\x) for just a
single query. Introduce a \gx which acts exactly like \g except that it
will force expanded output mode for that one \gx call. This is simpler
than having to use \x as a toggle and also means that the user doesn't
have to worry about the current state of the expanded variable, or
resetting it later, to ensure a given query is always returned in
expanded mode.

Add new option --no-role-passwords which dumps roles without passwords.
Since we don’t need passwords, we choose to use pg_roles in preference
to pg_authid since access may be restricted for security reasons in
some configrations.
Robins Tharakan and Simon Riggs
This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the
GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL
authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL
messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage
messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows
adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall
protocol.
Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later.
The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet
implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with
non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep.
That will hopefully be added later.
Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification,
are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same
functionality, anyway.
If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing
an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from
a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is
created at initdb, and stored in the control file. We go through these
motions, in order to not give away the information on whether the user
exists, to unauthenticated users.

pg_dump has always handled the public schema in a special way when it
comes to the "--clean" option. To wit, we do not drop or recreate the
public schema in "normal" mode, but when we are run in "--clean" mode
then we do drop and recreate the public schema.
When running in "--clean" mode, the public schema is dropped and then
recreated and it is recreated with the normal schema-default privileges
of "nothing". This is unlike how the public schema starts life, which
is to have CREATE and USAGE GRANT'd to the PUBLIC role, and that is what
is recorded in pg_init_privs.
Due to this, in "--clean" mode, pg_dump would mistakenly only dump out
the set of privileges required to go from the initdb-time privileges on
the public schema to whatever the current-state privileges are. If the
privileges were not changed from initdb time, then no privileges would
be dumped out for the public schema, but with the schema being dropped
and recreated, the result was that the public schema would have no ACLs
on it instead of what it should have, which is the initdb-time
privileges.
Practically speaking, this meant that pg_dump with --clean mode dumping
a database where the ACLs on the public schema were not changed from the
default would, upon restore, result in a public schema with *no*
privileges GRANT'd, not matching the state of the existing database
(where the initdb-time privileges would have been CREATE and USAGE to
the PUBLIC role for the public schema).
To fix, adjust the query in getNamespaces() to ignore the pg_init_privs
entry for the public schema when running in "--clean" mode, meaning that
the privileges for the public schema would be dumped, correctly, as if
it was going from a newly-created schema to the current state (which is,
indeed, what will happen during the restore thanks to the DROP/CREATE).
Only the public schema is handled in this special way by pg_dump, no
other initdb-time objects are dropped/recreated in --clean mode.

We attached no schema label to comments for procedural languages, casts,
transforms, operator classes, operator families, or text search objects.
The first three categories of objects don't really have schemas, but
pg_dump treats them as if they do, and it seems like the TocEntry fields
for their comments had better match the TocEntry fields for the parent
objects. (As an example of a possible hazard, the type names in a CAST
will be formatted with the assumption of a particular search_path, so
failing to ensure that this same path is active for the COMMENT ON command
could lead to an error or to attaching the comment to the wrong cast.)
In the last six cases, this was a flat-out error --- possibly mine to
begin with, but it was a long time ago.
The security label for a procedural language was likewise not correctly
labeled as to schema, and both the comment and security label for a
procedural language were not correctly labeled as to owner.
In simple cases the restore would accidentally work correctly anyway, since
these comments and security labels would normally get emitted right after
the owning object, and so the search path and active user would be correct
anyhow. But it could fail in corner cases; for example a schema-selective
restore would omit comments it should include.
Giuseppe Broccolo noted the oversight, and proposed the correct fix, for
text search dictionary objects; I found the rest by cross-checking other
dumpComment() calls. These oversights are ancient, so back-patch all
the way.

When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject
and pg_largeobject_metadata, allowing us to avoid having to dump out and
reload the actual data for large objects and their ACLs.
Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated
with large objects. Currently, we also support COMMENTs and SECURITY
LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a
pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large
object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new
cluster.
As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't
simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode
output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as
well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump
output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and
metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled
forward across a pg_upgrade.
In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate
which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put
explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL
or the data when in binary-upgrade mode.
Adjustments made to the privileges regression test to allow another test
(large_object.sql) to be added which explicitly leaves a large object
with a comment in place to provide coverage of that case with
pg_upgrade.

We had some AC_CHECK_HEADER tests that were really wastes of cycles,
because the code proceeded to #include those headers unconditionally
anyway, in all or a large majority of cases. The lack of complaints
shows that those headers are available on every platform of interest,
so we might as well let configure run a bit faster by not probing
those headers at all.
I suspect that some of the tests I left alone are equally useless, but
since all the existing #includes of the remaining headers are properly
guarded, I didn't touch them.
c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>.
There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h,
postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so.
While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern
of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres
header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way
rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files
deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this
globally, only in files I was touching anyway.)
I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism,
but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.
Twiddle the replication-related code so that its timestamp variables
are declared TimestampTz, rather than the uninformative "int64" that
was previously used for meant-to-be-always-integer timestamps.
This resolves the int64-vs-TimestampTz declaration inconsistencies
introduced by commit 7c030783a, though in the opposite direction to
what was originally suggested.
This required including datatype/timestamp.h in a couple more places
than before. I decided it would be a good idea to slim down that
header by not having it pull in <float.h> etc, as those headers are
no longer at all relevant to its purpose. Unsurprisingly, a small number
of .c files turn out to have been depending on those inclusions, so add
them back in the .c files as needed.

Versions of flex before 2.5.36 might generate code that results in an
"unused variable" warning, when using %option reentrant. Historically
we've worked around that by specifying -Wno-error, but that's an

the generated C code similarly.
The MSVC side of this is untested, but the buildfarm should soon reveal

It wouldn't complete "TO" after the variable name, which is certainly
minor enough. But since we do complete "TO" after "SET variable ...",
and since this case used to work pre-9.6, I think this is a bug.
Also, fix the query used to collect the variable names; whoever last
touched it evidently didn't understand how the pieces are supposed
to fit together. It accidentally worked anyway, because readline
ignores irrelevant completions, but it was randomly unlike the ones
around it, and could be a source of actual bugs if someone copied

The xlog-specific headers need to be included in both frontend code -

This stores a data type, required to be an integer type, with the
sequence. The sequences min and max values default to the range
supported by the type, and they cannot be set to values exceeding that
range. The internal implementation of the sequence is not affected.
Change the serial types to create sequences of the appropriate type.
This makes sure that the min and max values of the sequence for a serial
column match the range of values supported by the table column. So the
sequence can no longer overflow the table column.
This also makes monitoring for sequence exhaustion/wraparound easier,
which currently requires various contortions to cross-reference the
sequences with the table columns they are used with.
This commit also effectively reverts the pg_sequence column reordering
in f3b421da5f, because the new seqtypid
column allows us to fill the hole in the struct and create a more
natural overall column ordering.

Modify FETCH_COUNT to always have a defined value, like other control
variables, mainly so it will always appear in "\set" output.
Add hooks to force HISTSIZE to be defined and require it to have an

non-integral values.)
Add hooks to force IGNOREEOF to be defined and require it to have an
integer value. Unlike the other cases, here we're trying to be
bug-compatible with a rather bogus externally-defined behavior, so I think
we need to continue to allow "\set IGNOREEOF whatever". Fix it so that
the substitution hook silently replace non-numeric values with "10",
so that the stored value always reflects what we're really doing.
Add a dummy assign hook for HISTFILE, just so it's always in
variables.c's list. We can't require it to be defined always, because
that would break the interaction with the PSQL_HISTORY environment
variable, so there isn't any change in visible behavior here.
Remove tab-complete.c's private list of known variable names, since that's
really a maintenance nuisance. Given the preceding changes, there are no
control variables it won't show anyway. This does mean that if for some
reason you've unset one of the status variables (DBNAME, HOST, etc), that
variable would not appear in tab completion for \set. But I think that's
fine, for at least two reasons: we shouldn't be encouraging people to use
those variables as regular variables, and if someone does do so anyway,
why shouldn't it act just like a regular variable?
Remove ugly and no-longer-used-anywhere GetVariableNum(). In general,
future additions of integer-valued control variables should follow the
paradigm of adding an assign hook using ParseVariableNum(), so there's
no reason to expect we'd need this again later.

"\set" with no arguments displays all defined variables, but it does so
in the order that they appear in variables.c's list, which previously
was mostly creation order. That makes the list ugly and hard to find
things in, and it exposes some psql implementation details to users.
(For instance, ordinary variables will move to the bottom of the list
if unset and set again, but variables that have hooks won't.)
Fix that by keeping the list in alphabetical order at all times, which
isn't much more complicated than breaking out of the insertion search
loops once we reach an entry that should be after the one to be inserted.

This commit improves on the results of commit 511ae628f in two ways:
1. It restores the historical behavior that "\set FOO" is interpreted
as setting FOO to "on", if FOO is a boolean control variable. We
already found one test script that was expecting that behavior, and
the psql documentation certainly does nothing to discourage people
from assuming that would work, since it often says just "if FOO is set"
when describing the effects of a boolean variable. However, now this
case will result in actually setting FOO to "on", not an empty string.
2. It arranges for an "\unset" of a control variable to set the value
back to its default value, rather than becoming apparently undefined.
The control variables are also initialized that way at psql startup.
In combination, these things guarantee that a control variable always
has a displayable value that reflects what psql is actually doing.
That is a pretty substantial usability improvement.
The implementation involves adding a second type of variable hook function
that is able to replace a proposed new value (including NULL) with another
one. We could alternatively have complicated the API of the assign hook,
but this way seems better since many variables can share the same
substitution hook function.
Also document the actual behavior of these variables more fully,
including covering assorted behaviors that were there before but
never documented.
This patch also includes some minor cleanup that should have been in
511ae628f but was missed.
Patch by me, but it owes a lot to discussions with Daniel Vérité.

In commit 23f34fa, we changed how ACLs were handled to use the new
pg_init_privs catalog and to dump out the ACL commands as REVOKE+GRANT
combinations instead of trying to REVOKE all rights always and then
GRANT back just the ones which were in place.
Unfortunately, the DEFAULT PRIVILEGES system didn't quite get the
correct treatment with this change and ended up (incorrectly) only
including positive GRANTs instead of both the REVOKEs and GRANTs
necessary to preserve the correct privileges.
There are only a couple cases where such REVOKEs are possible because,
generally speaking, there's few rights which exist on objects by
default to be revoked.
Examples of REVOKEs which weren't being correctly preserved are when
privileges are REVOKE'd from the creator/owner, like so:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
FOR ROLE myrole
REVOKE SELECT ON TABLES FROM myrole;
or when other default privileges are being revoked, such as EXECUTE
rights granted to public for functions:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
FOR ROLE myrole
REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS FROM PUBLIC;
Fix this by correctly working out what the correct REVOKE statements are
(if any) and dump them out, just as we do for everything else.
Noticed while developing additional regression tests for pg_dump, which
will be landing shortly.
Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.
The pg_dump TAP tests have gotten pretty far from what perltidy thinks
they should be, so fix that, and in passing use long-form argument names
with arguments passed via "=" in a similar vein to 58da833.
No functional changes here, just whitespace and changing runs from
"-f" to "--file=", and similar.
Previously, if the user set a special variable such as ECHO to an
unrecognized value, psql would bleat but store the new value anyway, and
then fall back to a default setting for the behavior controlled by the
variable. This was agreed to be a not particularly good idea. With
this patch, invalid values result in an error message and no change in
state.
(But this applies only to variables that affect psql's behavior; purely
informational variables such as ENCODING can still be set to random
values.)
To do this, modify the API for psql's assign-hook functions so that they
can return an OK/not OK result, and give them the responsibility for
printing error messages when they reject a value. Adjust the APIs for
ParseVariableBool and ParseVariableNum to support the new behavior
conveniently.
In passing, document the variable VERSION, which had somehow escaped that.
And improve the quite-inadequate commenting in psql/variables.c.

Previously, we left such literals alone if the query or subquery had
no properties forcing a type decision to be made (such as an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT clause using that output column). This meant that "unknown" could
be an exposed output column type, which has never been a great idea because
it could result in strange failures later on. For example, an outer query
that tried to do any operations on an unknown-type subquery output would
generally fail with some weird error like "failed to find conversion
function from unknown to text" or "could not determine which collation to
use for string comparison". Also, if the case occurred in a CREATE VIEW's
query then the view would have an unknown-type column, causing similar
failures in queries trying to use the view.
To fix, at the tail end of parse analysis of a query, forcibly convert any
remaining "unknown" literals in its SELECT or RETURNING list to type text.
However, provide a switch to suppress that, and use it in the cases of
SELECT inside a set operation or INSERT command. In those cases we already
had type resolution rules that make use of context information from outside
the subquery proper, and we don't want to change that behavior.
Also, change creation of an unknown-type column in a relation from a
warning to a hard error. The error should be unreachable now in CREATE
VIEW or CREATE MATVIEW, but it's still possible to explicitly say "unknown"
in CREATE TABLE or CREATE (composite) TYPE. We want to forbid that because
it's nothing but a foot-gun.
This change creates a pg_upgrade failure case: a matview that contains an
unknown-type column can't be pg_upgraded, because reparsing the matview's
defining query will now decide that the column is of type text, which
doesn't match the cstring-like storage that the old materialized column
would actually have. Add a checking pass to detect that. While at it,
we can detect tables or composite types that would fail, essentially
for free. Those would fail safely anyway later on, but we might as
well fail earlier.
This patch is by me, but it owes something to previous investigations
by Rahila Syed. Also thanks to Ashutosh Bapat and Michael Paquier for
review.

Turns out this has been broken for years and we'd not noticed. The one
case that was getting exercised in the buildfarm, or probably anywhere
else, was postgres_fdw.sl's reference to libpq.sl; and it turns out that
that was always going to libpq.sl in the actual installation directory
not the temporary install. We'd not noticed because the buildfarm script
does "make install" before it tests contrib. However, the recent addition
of a logical-replication test to the core regression scripts resulted in
trying to use libpqwalreceiver.sl before "make install" happens, and that
failed for lack of finding libpq.sl, as shown by failures on buildfarm
members gaur and pademelon.
There are two changes needed to fix it: the magic environment variable to
specify shlib search path at runtime is SHLIB_PATH not LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
and the shlib link command needs to specify the +s switch else the library
will not honor SHLIB_PATH.
I'm not quite sure why buildfarm members anole and gharial (HPUX 11) didn't
show the same failure. Consulting man pages on the web says that HPUX 11
honors both LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SHLIB_PATH, which would explain half of it,
and the rather confusing wording I've been able to find suggests that +s
might effectively be the default in HPUX 11. But it seems at least as
likely that there's just a libpq.so installed in /usr/lib on that machine;
as long as it's not too ancient, that would satisfy the test. In any case
I do not think this patch will break HPUX 11.
At the moment I don't see a need to back-patch this, since it only matters
for testing purposes, not to mention that HPUX 10 is probably dead in the
real world anyway.
A pgbench meta command can now be continued onto additional line(s) of a

Eventually it'd be nice to have the same thing in psql, but that will

Also fix one place where the BOOTSTRAP_SUPERUSERID was hardcoded as 10.
When considering a sequence's Data entry in dumpSequenceData, we were
actually looking at the sequence definition's dump flag to decide if we
should dump the data or not. That's generally fine, except for when the
sequence data entry was created by processExtensionTables() because it's
a config sequence. In that case, the sequence itself won't be marked as
dumping data because it's part of an extension, leading to the need for
processExtensionTables() to create the sequence data entry.
This leads to extension config sequence data not being included in the
dump when it should be. Fix this by looking at the sequence data's dump
flag instead, just as dumpTableData() was doing for tables (which is why
config tables were correctly being handled), and add a regression test
to make sure we don't break it moving forward.
All of this is a bit round-about since we can now represent which
components of a given dump item should be dumped out through the dump
flag. A future improvement might be to change checkExtensionMembership()
to check for config sequences/tables and set the dump flag based on that
directly, possibly removing the need for processExtensionTables().

Various example and test code used -m fast explicitly, but since it's

pg_upgrade is not touched, so it can continue to operate with older
installations.
In 9.5, the default pg_ctl stop mode was changed from "smart" to "fast".
pg_upgrade still thought the default mode was "smart" and only specified
the mode when "fast" was asked for. This results in using "fast" all
the time. It's not clear what the effect in practice is, but fix it
nonetheless to restore the previous behavior.
pg_restore will currently accept invalid values for the number of
parallel jobs to run (eg: -1), unlike pg_dump which does check that the
value provided is reasonable.
Worse, '-1' is actually a valid, independent, parameter (as an alias for
--single-transaction), leading to potentially completely unexpected
results from a command line such as:
-> pg_restore -j -1
Where a user would get neither parallel jobs nor a single-transaction.
Add in validity checking of the parallel jobs option, as we already have
in pg_dump, before we try to open up the archive. Also move the check
that we haven't been asked to run more parallel jobs than possible on
Windows to the same place, so we do all the option validity checking
before opening the archive.
Back-patch all the way, though for 9.2 we're adding the Windows-specific
check against MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS as that check wasn't back-patched

For aggregated logging, pg_bench supposed that printing the integer part of
INSTR_TIME_GET_DOUBLE() would produce a Unix timestamp. That was already
broken on Windows, and it's about to get broken on most other platforms as
well. As in commit 74baa1e3b, we can remove the entanglement at the price
of one extra syscall per transaction; though here it seems more convenient
to use time(NULL) instead of gettimeofday(), since we only need
integral-second precision.

This code was presuming undue familiarity with the contents of the
instr_time struct. That was already broken on Windows, and it's about
to get broken on most other platforms as well. The simplest solution
that preserves the current output definition is to just do our own
gettimeofday() call here. Realistically, the extra cost is probably
negligible in comparison to everything else that's going on in a
pgbench transaction, so it's not worth sweating over.
On Windows, the precision delivered by gettimeofday() is lower than
one could wish, but this is still a big improvement over printing
zeroes, as the code did before.

When providing tab completion for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES, we are
including the list of roles as possible options for completion after the
GRANT or REVOKE. Further, we accept FOR ROLE/IN SCHEMA at the same time
and in either order, but the tab completion was only working for one or
the other. Lastly, we weren't using the actual list of allowed kinds of
objects for default privileges for completion after the 'GRANT X ON' but
instead were completeing to what 'GRANT X ON' supports, which isn't the
ssame at all.
Address these issues by improving the forward tab-completion for ALTER
DEFAULT PRIVILEGES and then constrain and correct how the tail
completion is done when it is for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES.
Back-patch the forward/tail tab-completion to 9.6, where we made it easy
to handle such cases.
For 9.5 and earlier, correct the initial tab-completion to at least be
correct as far as it goes and then add a check for GRANT/REVOKE to only
tab-complete when the GRANT/REVOKE is the start of the command, so we
don't try to do tab-completion after we get to the GRANT/REVOKE part of
the ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which is better than providing
incorrect completions.

pg_proc from getFuncs().
Modify the query in getFuncs() to also gather information about
functions which are used by user-defined casts and transforms (where
"user-defined" means "has an OID >= FirstNormalObjectId"). This also

Silence compiler warning about set but unused variable, without
--enable-cassert.
Table partitioning is like table inheritance and reuses much of the
existing infrastructure, but there are some important differences.
The parent is called a partitioned table and is always empty; it may
not have indexes or non-inherited constraints, since those make no
sense for a relation with no data of its own. The children are called
partitions and contain all of the actual data. Each partition has an
implicit partitioning constraint. Multiple inheritance is not
allowed, and partitioning and inheritance can't be mixed. Partitions
can't have extra columns and may not allow nulls unless the parent
does. Tuples inserted into the parent are automatically routed to the
correct partition, so tuple-routing ON INSERT triggers are not needed.
Tuple routing isn't yet supported for partitions which are foreign
tables, and it doesn't handle updates that cross partition boundaries.
Currently, tables can be range-partitioned or list-partitioned. List
partitioning is limited to a single column, but range partitioning can
involve multiple columns. A partitioning "column" can be an
expression.
Because table partitioning is less general than table inheritance, it
is hoped that it will be easier to reason about properties of
partitions, and therefore that this will serve as a better foundation
for a variety of possible optimizations, including query planner
optimizations. The tuple routing based which this patch does based on
the implicit partitioning constraints is an example of this, but it
seems likely that many other useful optimizations are also possible.

we handle other platform-dependent defaults. This won't do anything

Since this requires initdb to have access to the default values,
move the #define's for those to pg_config_manual.h; the original

Add a loop to check that each test covers all of the pg_dump runs. We
(I) had been a bit sloppy when adding new runs and not making sure to
mark if they should be under like or unlike for each test, this loop
makes sure that the test system will complain if any are forgotten in
the future.
The loop also correctly handles the 'catch all' cases, which are used to
avoid running unnecessary specific checks when a single catch-all can be
done (eg: a no-acl run should not have any GRANT commands).
Also, re-enable the testing of blobs, but use lo_from_bytea() instead of
trying to be cute and writing out to a file and then reading it back in
with psql, which proved to be difficult for some buildfarm members.
This allows us to add support for testing the --no-blobs option which
will be getting added shortly, provided the buildfarm doesn't blow up on
this.
pg_dump's traditional solution for breaking a circular dependency involving
a view was to create the view with CREATE TABLE and then later issue CREATE
RULE "_RETURN" ... to convert the table to a view, relying on the backend's
very very ancient code that supports making views that way. We've wanted
to get rid of that kluge for a long time, but the thing that finally
motivates doing something about it is the recognition that this method
fails with the --clean option, because it leads to issuing DROP RULE
"_RETURN" followed by DROP TABLE --- and the backend won't let you drop a
view's _RETURN rule.
Instead, let's break circular dependencies by initially creating the view
using CREATE VIEW AS SELECT NULL::columntype AS columnname, ... (so that
it has the right column names and types to support external references,
but no dependencies beyond the column data types), and then later dumping
the ON SELECT rule using the spelling CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW. This method
wasn't available when this code was originally written, but it's been
possible since PG 7.3, so it seems fine to start relying on it now.
To solve the --clean problem, make the dropStmt for an ON SELECT rule
be CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW with the same dummy target list as above.
In this way, during the DROP phase, we first reduce the view to have
no extra dependencies, and then we can drop it entirely when we've
gotten rid of whatever had a circular dependency on it.
(Note: this should work adequately well with the --if-exists option, since
the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW will go through whether the view exists or not.
It could fail if the view exists with a conflicting column set, but we
don't really support --clean against a non-matching database anyway.)
This allows cleaning up some other kluges inside pg_dump, notably that
we don't need a notion of reloptions attached to a rule anymore.
Although this is a bug fix, commit to HEAD only for now. The problem's
existed for a long time and we've had relatively few complaints, so it
doesn't really seem worth taking risks to fix it in the back branches.
We might revisit that choice if no problems emerge.

Previously, pg_upgrade migrated sequence data like tables by copying the
on-disk file. This does not allow any changes in the on-disk format for
sequences. It's simpler to just have pg_dump set the new sequence
values as it normally does. To do that, create a hidden submode in
pg_dump that dumps sequence data even when a schema-only dump is
requested, and trigger that submode in binary upgrade mode. (This new
submode could easily be exposed as a command-line option, but it has
limited use outside of pg_dump and would probably cause some confusion,
so we don't do that at this time.)

This does not change the output format, since there already was a
