For those system catalogs that have a unique indexes, make a primary
key and unique constraint, using ALTER TABLE ... PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE
USING INDEX.
This can be helpful for GUI tools that look for a primary key, and it
might in the future allow declaring foreign keys, for making schema
diagrams.
The constraint creation statements are automatically created by
genbki.pl from DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX directives. To specify which one
of the available unique indexes is the primary key, use the new
directive DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX_PKEY instead. By convention, we
usually make a catalog's OID column its primary key, if it has one.

CREATE TABLE AS has been preferred over SELECT INTO (outside of ecpg

INTO in tests and documentation, some old, some more recent. This
changes them to CREATE TABLE AS. Some occurrences in the tests remain
where they are specifically testing SELECT INTO parsing or similar.

The loops to identify word boundaries could access past the end of
the input string. Likely that would never result in an actual
crash, but it makes valgrind unhappy.
The logic to try different numbers of words didn't work when the
input has two words but we only have a match to the first, eg
"\h with select". (We must "continue" the pass loop, not "break".)
The logic to compute nl_count was bizarrely managed, and in at
least two code paths could end up calling PageOutput with
nl_count = 0, resulting in failing to paginate output that should
have been fed to the pager. Also, in v12 and up, the nl_count
calculation hadn't been updated to account for the addition of a URL.
The PQExpBuffer holding the command syntax details wasn't freed,

libpq's error messages for connection failures pretty well stand on
their own, especially since commits 52a10224e/27a48e5a1. Prefixing
them with 'could not connect to database "foo"' or the like is just
redundant, and perhaps even misleading if the specific database name
isn't relevant to the failure. (When it is, we trust that the
backend's error message will include the DB name.) Indeed, psql
hasn't used any such prefix in a long time. So, make all our other
programs and documentation examples agree with psql's practice.

The context is an object that no longer bears some aclitem that it bore
initially. (A user issued REVOKE or GRANT statements upon the object.)
pg_dump is forming SQL to reproduce the object ACL. Since initdb
creates no ACL bearing GRANT OPTION, reaching this bug requires an
extension where the creation script establishes such an ACL. No PGXN
extension does that. If an installation did reach the bug, pg_dump
would have omitted a semicolon, causing a REVOKE and the next SQL
statement to fail. Separately, since the affected code exists to
eliminate an entire aclitem, it wants plain REVOKE, not REVOKE GRANT
OPTION FOR. Back-patch to 9.6, where commit

This is the same fix as commit 9eabfe300 applied to INDEX ATTACH
entries, but for table-to-publication attachments. As in that
case, even though the backend doesn't record "ownership" of the
attachment, we still ought to label it in the dump archive with
the role name that should run the ALTER PUBLICATION command.
The existing behavior causes the ALTER to be done by the original
role that started the restore; that will usually work fine, but
there may be corner cases where it fails.
The bulk of the patch is concerned with changing struct
PublicationRelInfo to include a pointer to the associated
PublicationInfo object, so that we can get the owner's name
out of that when the time comes. While at it, I rewrote

Although a partitioned index's attachment to its parent doesn't
have separate ownership, the ArchiveEntry for it needs to be
marked with an owner anyway, to ensure that the ALTER command
is run by the appropriate role when restoring with
--use-set-session-authorization. Without this, the ALTER will
be run by the role that started the restore session, which will
usually work but it's formally the wrong thing.

Previously, we emitted the ATTACH PARTITION command as part of
the child table's ArchiveEntry. This was a poor choice since it
complicates restoring the partition as a standalone table; you have
to ignore the error from the ATTACH, which isn't even an option when
restoring direct-to-database with pg_restore. (pg_restore will issue
the whole ArchiveEntry as one PQexec, so that any error rolls back
the table creation as well.) Hence, separate it out as its own
ArchiveEntry, as indeed we already did for index ATTACH PARTITION
commands.

Wedging a new object type into this table has historically required
manually renumbering a lot of existing entries. (Although it appears
that some people got lazy and re-used the priority level of an
existing object type, even if it wasn't particularly related.)
We can let the compiler do the counting by inventing an enum type that
lists the desired priority levels in order. Now, if you want to add
or remove a priority level, that's a one-liner.
This patch is not purely cosmetic, because I split apart the priorities
of DO_COLLATION and DO_TRANSFORM, as well as those of DO_ACCESS_METHOD
and DO_OPERATOR, which look to me to have been merged out of expediency
rather than because it was a good idea. Shell types continue to be
sorted interchangeably with full types, and opclasses interchangeably
with opfamilies.
Prefix "could not connect to host-or-socket-path:" to all connection
failure cases that occur after the socket() call, and remove the
ad-hoc server identity data that was appended to a few of these
messages. This should produce much more intelligible error reports
in multiple-target-host situations, especially for error cases that
are off the beaten track to any degree (because none of those provided
any server identity info).
As an example of the change, formerly a connection attempt with a bad
port number such as "psql -p 12345 -h localhost,/tmp" might produce
psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 12345?
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 12345?
could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.12345"?
Now it looks like
psql: error: could not connect to host "localhost" (::1), port 12345: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
could not connect to host "localhost" (127.0.0.1), port 12345: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
could not connect to socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.12345": No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?
This requires adjusting a couple of regression tests to allow for
variation in the contents of a connection failure message.

We found last February that the error-case tests added by commit
008cf0409 failed on OpenBSD, because that platform doesn't really
check locale names. At the time it seemed that that was only an issue
for LC_CTYPE, but testing on a more recent version of OpenBSD shows
that it's now equally lax about LC_COLLATE.
Rather than dropping the LC_COLLATE test too, put back LC_CTYPE
(reverting c4b0edb07), and adjust these tests to accept the different
error message that we get if setlocale() doesn't reject a bogus locale
name. The point of these tests is not really what the backend does
with the locale name, but to show that createdb quotes funny locale
names safely; so we're not losing test reliability this way.

Formerly, TOAST objects were unconditionally suppressed, but since
\d is able to print them it's not very clear why these variants
should not. Instead, use the same rules as for system catalogs:
they can be seen if you write the 'S' modifier or a table name
pattern. (In practice, since hardly anybody would keep pg_toast

Commit 7ca37fb04 removed regress_putenv from the regress.so library,
so reloading a SQL function dependent on that would not work.
Fix similarly to 52202bb39.
Per buildfarm.
Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the
grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However,
POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed:
setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now
treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has
cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy.
This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for
any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised
if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend
win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv()
with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv()
wannabees.
Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the
POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning
void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make
all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought
to match real-world practice.

Buildfarm members pogona and petalura have shown a failure when
pg_ctl/t/004_logrotate.pl starts just before local midnight.
The default rotate-at-midnight behavior occurs just before the
Perl script examines current_logfiles, so it figures that the
rotation it's already requested has occurred ... but in reality,
that rotation happens just after it looks, so the expected new
log data goes into a different file than the one it's examining.
In HEAD, src/test/kerberos/t/001_auth.pl has acquired similar code
that evidently has a related failure mode. Besides being quite new,
few buildfarm critters run that test, so it's unsurprising that
we've not yet seen a failure there.
Fix both cases by setting log_rotation_age = 0 so that no time-based
rotation can occur. Also absorb 004_logrotate.pl's decision to
set lc_messages = 'C' into the kerberos test, in hopes that it will
work in non-English prevailing locales.

Multiranges are basically sorted arrays of non-overlapping ranges with
set-theoretic operations defined over them.
Since v14, each range type automatically gets a corresponding multirange
datatype. There are both manual and automatic mechanisms for naming multirange
types. Once can specify multirange type name using multirange_type_name
attribute in CREATE TYPE. Otherwise, a multirange type name is generated
automatically. If the range type name contains "range" then we change that to
"multirange". Otherwise, we add "_multirange" to the end.
Implementation of multiranges comes with a space-efficient internal
representation format, which evades extra paddings and duplicated storage of
oids. Altogether this format allows fetching a particular range by its index
in O(n).
Statistic gathering and selectivity estimation are implemented for multiranges.
For this purpose, stored multirange is approximated as union range without gaps.
This field will likely need improvements in the future.
Catversion is bumped.

This patch generalizes the subscripting infrastructure so that any
data type can be subscripted, if it provides a handler function to
define what that means. Traditional variable-length (varlena) arrays
all use array_subscript_handler(), while the existing fixed-length
types that support subscripting use raw_array_subscript_handler().
It's expected that other types that want to use subscripting notation
will define their own handlers. (This patch provides no such new
features, though; it only lays the foundation for them.)
To do this, move the parser's semantic processing of subscripts
(including coercion to whatever data type is required) into a
method callback supplied by the handler. On the execution side,
replace the ExecEvalSubscriptingRef* layer of functions with direct
calls to callback-supplied execution routines. (Thus, essentially
no new run-time overhead should be caused by this patch. Indeed,
there is room to remove some overhead by supplying specialized
execution routines. This patch does a little bit in that line,
but more could be done.)
Additional work is required here and there to remove formerly
hard-wired assumptions about the result type, collation, etc
of a SubscriptingRef expression node; and to remove assumptions
that the subscript values must be integers.
One useful side-effect of this is that we now have a less squishy
mechanism for identifying whether a data type is a "true" array:
instead of wiring in weird rules about typlen, we can look to see
if pg_type.typsubscript == F_ARRAY_SUBSCRIPT_HANDLER. For this
to be bulletproof, we have to forbid user-defined types from using
that handler directly; but there seems no good reason for them to
do so.
This patch also removes assumptions that the number of subscripts
is limited to MAXDIM (6), or indeed has any hard-wired limit.
That limit still applies to types handled by array_subscript_handler
or raw_array_subscript_handler, but to discourage other dependencies
on this constant, I've moved it from c.h to utils/array.h.

pg_rewind looks at the control file to check what timeline a server is on.
But promotion doesn't immediately write a checkpoint, it merely writes
an end-of-recovery WAL record. If pg_rewind runs immediately after
promotion, before the checkpoint has completed, it will think think that
the server is still on the earlier timeline. We ran into this issue a long
time ago already, see commit 484a848a73.
It's a bit bogus that pg_rewind doesn't determine the timeline correctly
until the end-of-recovery checkpoint has completed. We probably should
fix that. But for now work around it by waiting for the checkpoint
to complete before running pg_rewind, like we did in commit 484a848a73.
In the passing, tidy up the new test a little bit. Rerder the INSERTs so
that the comments make more sense, remove a spurious CHECKPOINT call after
pg_rewind has already run, and add --debug option, so that if this fails

Per report from Coverity, via Tom Lane.
Buildfarm has been failing sporadically on the new test. I was able to
reproduce this by adding a random 0-10 s delay in the walreceiver, just
before it connects to the primary. There's a race condition where node_3
is promoted before it has fully caught up with node_1, leading to diverged
timelines. When node_1 is later reconfigured as standby following node_3,
it fails to catch up:
LOG: primary server contains no more WAL on requested timeline 1
LOG: new timeline 2 forked off current database system timeline 1 before current recovery point 0/30000A0
That's the situation where you'd need to use pg_rewind, but in this case
it happens already when we are just setting up the actual pg_rewind
scenario we want to test, so change the test so that it waits until
node_3 is connected and fully caught up before promoting it, so that you
get a clean, controlled failover.
Also rewrite some of the comments, for clarity. The existing comments
detailed what each step in the test did, but didn't give a good overview
of the situation the steps were trying to create.
For reasons I don't understand, the test setup had to be written slightly
differently in 9.6 and 9.5 than in later versions. The 9.5/9.6 version
needed node 1 to be reinitialized from backup, whereas in later versions
it could be shut down and reconfigured to be a standby. But even 9.5 should
support "clean switchover", where primary makes sure that pending WAL is
replicated to standby on shutdown. It would be nice to figure out what's
going on there, but that's independent of pg_rewind and the scenario that
this test tests.

Two new routines to allocate a hash context and to free it are created,
as these become necessary for the goal behind this refactoring: switch
the all cryptohash implementations for OpenSSL to use EVP (for FIPS and
also because upstream does not recommend the use of low-level cryptohash
functions for 20 years). Note that OpenSSL hides the internals of
cryptohash contexts since 1.1.0, so it is necessary to leave the
allocation to OpenSSL itself, explaining the need for those two new
routines. This part is going to require more work to properly track
hash contexts with resource owners, but this not introduced here.
Still, this refactoring makes the move possible.
This reduces the number of routines for all SHA2 implementations from
twelve (SHA{224,256,386,512} with init, update and final calls) to five
(create, free, init, update and final calls) by incorporating the hash
type directly into the hash context data.
The new cryptohash routines are moved to a new file, called cryptohash.c
for the fallback implementations, with SHA2 specifics becoming a part
internal to src/common/. OpenSSL specifics are part of
cryptohash_openssl.c. This infrastructure is usable for more hash
types, like MD5 or HMAC.
Any code paths using the internal SHA2 routines are adapted to report
correctly errors, which are most of the changes of this commit. The
zones mostly impacted are checksum manifests, libpq and SCRAM.
Note that e21cbb4 was a first attempt to switch SHA2 to EVP, but it
lacked the refactoring needed for libpq, as done here.
This patch has been tested on Linux and Windows, with and without
OpenSSL, and down to 1.0.1, the oldest version supported on HEAD.
