Let table AM define custom reloptions for its tables. This allows specifying
AM-specific parameters by the WITH clause when creating a table.
The reloptions, which could be used outside of table AM, are now extracted
into the CommonRdOptions data structure. These options could be by decision
of table AM directly specified by a user or calculated in some way.
The new test module test_tam_options evaluates the ability to set up custom
reloptions and calculate fields of CommonRdOptions on their base.
The code may use some parts from prior work by Hao Wu.

It is possible that even if the primary waits for the subscriber to catch
up and then disables the subscription, the XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS record gets
inserted between the two steps by bgwriter and walsender processes it.
This can move the restart_lsn of the corresponding slot in an
unpredictable way which further leads to slot sync failure.
To ensure predictable behaviour, we drop the subscription and manually
create the slot before the test. The other idea we discussed to write a
predictable test is to use injection points to control the bgwriter
logging XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS but that needs more analysis. We can add a
separate test using injection points.

A NESTED path allows to extract data from nested levels of JSON
objects given by the parent path expression, which are projected as
columns specified using a nested COLUMNS clause, just like the parent
COLUMNS clause. Rows comprised from a NESTED columns are "joined"
to the row comprised from the parent columns. If a particular NESTED
path evaluates to 0 rows, then the nested COLUMNS will emit NULLs,
making it an OUTER join.
NESTED columns themselves may include NESTED paths to allow
extracting data from arbitrary nesting levels, which are likewise
joined against the rows at the parent level.
Multiple NESTED paths at a given level are called "sibling" paths
and their rows are combined by UNIONing them, that is, after being
joined against the parent row as described above.

Currently, get_json_expr_options() does not emit the default values
for QUOTES (KEEP QUOTES) and WRAPPER (WITHOUT WRAPPER). That causes
the deparsed JSON_TABLE() columns, such as those contained in a a

transformJsonTableColumns() will choose either JSON_VALUE() or
JSON_QUERY() as implementation to execute a given column's path

By skipping SSLRequest, you can eliminate one round-trip when
establishing a TLS connection. It is also more friendly to generic TLS
proxies that don't understand the PostgreSQL protocol.
This is disabled by default in libpq, because the direct TLS handshake
will fail with old server versions. It can be enabled with the
sslnegotation=direct option. It will still fall back to the negotiated
TLS handshake if the server rejects the direct attempt, either because
it is an older version or the server doesn't support TLS at all, but
the fallback can be disabled with the sslnegotiation=requiredirect

This adds a new SQL function injection_points_set_local() that can be
used to force injection points to be run only in the process where they

- Detach automatically injection points when the process exits.
- Allow tests with injection points to run concurrently with other test

NO_INSTALLCHECK.
Currently, the only condition that can be registered is for a PID.
This could be extended to more kinds later, if required, like database

The new "log_connection_negotiation" server option causes the server
to print messages to the log when it receives a SSLRequest or
GSSENCRequest packet from the client. Together with "log_connections",
it gives a trace of how a connection and encryption is
negotiatated. Use the option in the libpq_encryption test, to verify
in more detail how libpq negotiates encryption with different
gssencmode and sslmode options.
This revealed a couple of cases where libpq retries encryption or
authentication, when it should already know that it cannot succeed. I
marked them with XXX comments in the test tables. They only happen
when the connection was going to fail anyway, and only with rare

Here Cn is a n-th constant expression, 'expr' is non-constant expression, 'op'

Sometimes it can lead to not optimal plan. This is why there is a

improve the error message when the tests are skipped, to specify

This was accidentally "working" without this, i.e. we were skipping

Presently, pg_popcount() processes data in 32-bit or 64-bit chunks
when possible. Newer hardware that supports AVX-512 instructions
can use 512-bit chunks, which provides a nice speedup, especially
for larger buffers. This commit introduces the infrastructure
required to detect compiler and CPU support for the required
AVX-512 intrinsic functions, and it adds a new pg_popcount()
implementation that uses these functions. If CPU support for this
optimized implementation is detected at runtime, a function pointer
is updated so that it is used by subsequent calls to pg_popcount().
Most of the existing in-tree calls to pg_popcount() should benefit
from these instructions, and calls with smaller buffers should at
least not regress compared to v16. The new infrastructure
introduced by this commit can also be used to optimize
visibilitymap_count(), but that is left for a follow-up commit.

unhappy with this test. I guess what is happening is that rows
generated by a parallel worker are buffered, and might or might not
get to the leader before the expected error occurs. We did not see
any variability in the old version of this test because each FETCH
would succeed or fail atomically, leading to a predictable number of
rows emitted before failure. I don't find this to be a bug, just
unspecified behavior, so let's disable parallel query for this one

This patch generalizes libpq's existing single-row mode to allow
individual partial-result PGresults to contain up to N rows, rather
than always one row. This reduces malloc overhead compared to plain
single-row mode, and it is very useful for psql's FETCH_COUNT feature,
since otherwise we'd have to add code (and cycles) to either merge
single-row PGresults into a bigger one or teach psql's
results-printing logic to accept arrays of PGresults.
To avoid API breakage, PQsetSingleRowMode() remains the same, and we
add a new function PQsetChunkedRowsMode() to invoke the more general
case. Also, PGresults obtained the old way continue to carry the
PGRES_SINGLE_TUPLE status code, while if PQsetChunkedRowsMode() is
used then their status code is PGRES_TUPLES_CHUNK. The underlying
logic is the same either way, though.

Commit 9e8da0f7 taught nbtree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals
natively. This works by pushing down the full context (the array keys)
to the nbtree index AM, enabling it to execute multiple primitive index
scans that the planner treats as one continuous index scan/index path.
This earlier enhancement enabled nbtree ScalarArrayOp index-only scans.
It also allowed scans with ScalarArrayOp quals to return ordered results
(with some notable restrictions, described further down).
Take this general approach a lot further: teach nbtree SAOP index scans
to decide how to execute ScalarArrayOp scans (when and where to start
the next primitive index scan) based on physical index characteristics.
This can be far more efficient. All SAOP scans will now reliably avoid
duplicative leaf page accesses (just like any other nbtree index scan).
SAOP scans whose array keys are naturally clustered together now require
far fewer index descents, since we'll reliably avoid starting a new
primitive scan just to get to a later offset from the same leaf page.
The scan's arrays now advance using binary searches for the array
element that best matches the next tuple's attribute value. Required
scan key arrays (i.e. arrays from scan keys that can terminate the scan)
ratchet forward in lockstep with the index scan. Non-required arrays
(i.e. arrays from scan keys that can only exclude non-matching tuples)
"advance" without the process ever rolling over to a higher-order array.
Naturally, only required SAOP scan keys trigger skipping over leaf pages
(non-required arrays cannot safely end or start primitive index scans).
Consequently, even index scans of a composite index with a high-order
inequality scan key (which we'll mark required) and a low-order SAOP
scan key (which we won't mark required) now avoid repeating leaf page
accesses -- that benefit isn't limited to simpler equality-only cases.
In general, all nbtree index scans now output tuples as if they were one
continuous index scan -- even scans that mix a high-order inequality
with lower-order SAOP equalities reliably output tuples in index order.
This allows us to remove a couple of special cases that were applied
when building index paths with SAOP clauses during planning.
Bugfix commit 807a40c5 taught the planner to avoid generating unsafe
path keys: path keys on a multicolumn index path, with a SAOP clause on
any attribute beyond the first/most significant attribute. These cases
are now all safe, so we go back to generating path keys without regard
for the presence of SAOP clauses (just like with any other clause type).
Affected queries can now exploit scan output order in all the usual ways
(e.g., certain "ORDER BY ... LIMIT n" queries can now terminate early).
Also undo changes from follow-up bugfix commit a4523c5a, which taught
the planner to produce alternative index paths, with path keys, but
without low-order SAOP index quals (filter quals were used instead).
We'll no longer generate these alternative paths, since they can no
longer offer any meaningful advantages over standard index qual paths.
Affected queries thereby avoid all of the disadvantages that come from
using filter quals within index scan nodes. They can avoid extra heap
page accesses from using filter quals to exclude non-matching tuples
(index quals will never have that problem). They can also skip over
irrelevant sections of the index in more cases (though only when nbtree
determines that starting another primitive scan actually makes sense).
There is a theoretical risk that removing restrictions on SAOP index
paths from the planner will break compatibility with amcanorder-based
index AMs maintained as extensions. Such an index AM could have the
same limitations around ordered SAOP scans as nbtree had up until now.
Adding a pro forma incompatibility item about the issue to the Postgres
17 release notes seems like a good idea.

This commit does two things:

just like any other regular slot.
2) Ensures the value is set to the current timestamp during the promotion

want the slots to appear inactive for a long time after promotion if they
haven't been synchronized recently. This would also avoid the invalidation
of such slots immediately after promotion if tomorrow we have a feature

JSON_TABLE() allows JSON data to be converted into a relational view
and thus used, for example, in a FROM clause, like other tabular
data. Data to show in the view is selected from a source JSON object
using a JSON path expression to get a sequence of JSON objects that's
called a "row pattern", which becomes the source to compute the
SQL/JSON values that populate the view's output columns. Column
values themselves are computed using JSON path expressions applied to
each of the JSON objects comprising the "row pattern", for which the
SQL/JSON query functions added in 6185c9737c are used.
To implement JSON_TABLE() as a table function, this augments the
TableFunc and TableFuncScanState nodes that are currently used to
support XMLTABLE() with some JSON_TABLE()-specific fields.
Note that the JSON_TABLE() spec includes NESTED COLUMNS and PLAN
clauses, which are required to provide more flexibility to extract
data out of nested JSON objects, but they are not implemented here
to keep this commit of manageable size.

This parser uses an explicit prediction stack, unlike the present
recursive descent parser where the parser state is represented on the
call stack. This difference makes the new parser suitable for use in
incremental parsing of huge JSON documents that cannot be conveniently
handled piece-wise by the recursive descent parser. One potential use
for this will be in parsing large backup manifests associated with
incremental backups.
Because this parser is somewhat slower than the recursive descent
parser, it is not replacing that parser, but is an additional parser
available to callers.
For testing purposes, if the build is done with -DFORCE_JSON_PSTACK, all
JSON parsing is done with the non-recursive parser, in which case only
trivial regression differences in error messages should be observed.

We were directly copying the LSN locations while syncing the slots on the
standby. Now, it is possible that at some particular restart_lsn there are
some running xacts, which means if we start reading the WAL from that
location after promotion, we won't reach a consistent snapshot state at
that point. However, on the primary, we would have already been in a
consistent snapshot state at that restart_lsn so we would have just
serialized the existing snapshot.
To avoid this problem we will use the advance_slot functionality unless
the snapshot already exists at the synced restart_lsn location. This will
help us to ensure that snapbuilder/slot statuses are updated properly
without generating any changes. Note that the synced slot will remain as
RS_TEMPORARY till the decoding from corresponding restart_lsn can reach a
consistent snapshot state after which they will be marked as

Previously, we used a simple array for storing dead tuple IDs during

* The array used a single allocation and so was limited to 1GB.
* The allocation was pessimistically sized according to table size.
* Lookup with binary search was slow because of poor CPU cache and
branch prediction behavior.
This commit replaces that array with the TID store from commit

Since the backing radix tree makes small allocations as needed, the
1GB limit is now gone. Further, the total memory used is now often
smaller by an order of magnitude or more, depending on the
distribution of blocks and offsets. These two features should make
multiple rounds of heap scanning and index cleanup an extremely rare
event. TID lookup during index cleanup is also several times faster,
even more so when index order is correlated with heap tuple order.
Since there is no longer a predictable relationship between the number
of dead tuples vacuumed and the space taken up by their TIDs, the
number of tuples no longer provides any meaningful insights for users,
nor is the maximum number predictable. For that reason this commit
also changes to byte-based progress reporting, with the relevant
columns of pg_stat_progress_vacuum renamed accordingly to
max_dead_tuple_bytes and dead_tuple_bytes.
For parallel vacuum, both the TID store and supplemental information
specific to vacuum are shared among the parallel vacuum workers. As
with the previous array, we don't take any locks on TidStore during
parallel vacuum since writes are still only done by the leader
process.

66c0185a3 adjusted the UNION planner to request that union child queries
produce Paths correctly ordered to implement the UNION by way of
MergeAppend followed by Unique. The code there made a bad assumption
that if the root->parent_root->parse had setOperations set that the
query must be the child subquery of a set operation. That's not true
when it comes to planning a non-inlined CTE which is parented by a set
operation. This causes issues as the CTE's targetlist has no
requirement to match up to the SetOperationStmt's groupClauses
Fix this by adding a new parameter to both subquery_planner() and
grouping_planner() to explicitly pass the SetOperationStmt only when
planning set operation child subqueries.
Thank you to Tom Lane for helping to rationalize the decision on the
best function signature for subquery_planner().

This commit adds a new COPY option LOG_VERBOSITY, which controls the
amount of messages emitted during processing. Valid values are
'default' and 'verbose'.
This is currently used in COPY FROM when ON_ERROR option is set to
ignore. If 'verbose' is specified, a NOTICE message is emitted for
each discarded row, providing additional information such as line
number, column name, and the malformed value. This helps users to
identify problematic rows that failed to load.

This SQL-callable function behaves much like our internal utility
function getBaseType(), except it returns NULL rather than failing for
an invalid type OID. (That behavior is modeled on our experience with
other catalog-inquiry functions such as the ACL checking functions.)
The key advantage over doing a join to pg_type is that it will loop

This allows MERGE commands to include WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE

not in the data source. These actions can execute UPDATE, DELETE, or

This is in contrast to already-supported WHEN NOT MATCHED actions,

Allow use of BeginInternalSubTransaction() in parallel mode, so long
as the subtransaction doesn't attempt to acquire an XID or increment
the command counter. Given those restrictions, the other parallel
processes don't need to know about the subtransaction at all, so
this should be safe. The benefit is that it allows subtransactions
intended for error recovery, such as pl/pgsql exception blocks,
to be used in PARALLEL SAFE functions.
Another reason for doing this is that the API of
BeginInternalSubTransaction() doesn't allow reporting failure.
pl/python for one, and perhaps other PLs, copes very poorly with an
error longjmp out of BeginInternalSubTransaction(). The headline
feature of this patch removes the only easily-triggerable failure
case within that function. There remain some resource-exhaustion
and similar cases, which we now deal with by promoting them to FATAL
errors, so that callers need not try to clean up. (It is likely
that such errors would leave us with corrupted transaction state
inside xact.c, making recovery difficult if not impossible anyway.)
Although this work started because of a report of a pl/python crash,
we're not going to do anything about that in the back branches.
Back-patching this particular fix is obviously not very wise.
While we could contemplate some narrower band-aid, pl/python is
already an untrusted language, so it seems okay to classify this
as a "so don't do that" case.

Previously, the behavior of TidStoreCreate() was inconsistent between
local and shared TidStore instances in terms of memory limitation. For
local TidStore, a memory context was created with initial and maximum
memory block sizes, as well as a minimum memory context size, based on
the specified max_bytes values. However, for shared TidStore, the
provided DSA area was used for TID storage. Although commit bb952c8c8b
allowed specifying the initial and maximum DSA segment sizes, callers
would have needed to clamp their own limits, which was not consistent
and user-friendly.
With this commit, when creating a shared TidStore, a dedicated DSA
area is created for TID storage instead of using a provided DSA
area. The initial and maximum DSA segment sizes are chosen based on
the specified max_bytes. Other processes can attach to the shared
TidStore using the handle of the created DSA returned by the new
TidStoreGetDSA() function and the DSA pointer returned by
TidStoreGetHandle(). The created DSA has the same lifetime as the
shared TidStore and is deleted when all processes detach from it.
To improve clarity, the TidStoreCreate() function has been divided
into two separate functions: TidStoreCreateLocal() and
TidStoreCreateShared().

Ordinary ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA will also move any owned sequences

If we know the sort order of a CTE's output, and it is relevant
to the outer query, label the CTE's outer-query access path using
those pathkeys. This may enable optimizations such as avoiding
a sort in the outer query.
The code for hoisting pathkeys into the outer query already exists
for regular RTE_SUBQUERY subqueries, but it wasn't getting used for
CTEs, possibly out of concern for maintaining an optimization fence
between the CTE and the outer query. However, on the same arguments
used for commit f7816aec2, there seems no harm in letting the outer
query know what the inner query decided to do.
In support of this, we now remember the best Path as well as Plan
for each subquery for the rest of the planner run. There may be
future applications for having that at hand, and it surely costs
little to build one more List.

closely mirroring the behavior of the TABLESPACE option for partitioned
tables. Existing partitions are not modified.
For a partitioned table with no AM specified, any new partitions are

Also add ALTER TABLE ... SET ACCESS METHOD DEFAULT, which reverts to the
original state of using the default for new partitions.
The relcache of partitioned tables is not changed: rd_tableam is not

This commit adds a new property called last_inactive_time for slots. It is

timestamp whenever the slot is inactive/released or restored from the disk.
Note that we don't set the last_inactive_time for the slots currently being
synced from the primary to the standby because such slots are typically
inactive as decoding is not allowed on those.
The 'last_inactive_time' will be useful on production servers to debug and
analyze inactive replication slots. It will also help to know the lifetime
of a replication slot - one can know how long a streaming standby, logical
subscriber, or replication slot consumer is down.
The 'last_inactive_time' will also be useful to implement inactive

Until now, UNION queries have often been suboptimal as the planner has
only ever considered using an Append node and making the results unique
by either using a Hash Aggregate, or by Sorting the entire Append result
and running it through the Unique operator. Both of these methods
always require reading all rows from the union subqueries.
Here we adjust the union planner so that it can request that each subquery
produce results in target list order so that these can be Merge Appended
together and made unique with a Unique node. This can improve performance
significantly as the union child can make use of the likes of btree
indexes and/or Merge Joins to provide the top-level UNION with presorted
input. This is especially good if the top-level UNION contains a LIMIT
node that limits the output rows to a small subset of the unioned rows as
cheap startup plans can be used.

Up to now we've rejected cases like
BEGIN;
CREATE TYPE rainbow AS ENUM ();
ALTER TYPE rainbow ADD VALUE 'red';
-- use the value 'red', perhaps in a constraint or index
COMMIT;
The concern is that the uncommitted enum value 'red' might get into
an index and then break the index if we roll back the ALTER ADD.
If the ALTER is in the same transaction as the CREATE then it's really
perfectly safe, but we weren't taking the trouble to identify that.
pg_dump in binary-upgrade mode will emit enum definitions that look
like the above, which up to now didn't fall foul of the unsafe-usage
check because we processed each restore command as a separate
transaction. However an upcoming patch proposes to bundle the restore
commands into large transactions to reduce XID consumption during
pg_upgrade, and that makes this behavior a problem.
To fix, remember the OIDs of enum types created in the current
transaction, and allow use of enum values that are added to one later
in the same transaction. To do this fully correctly in the presence
of subtransactions, we'd have to track subtransaction nesting level of
the CREATE and do maintenance work at every subsequent subtransaction
exit. That seems expensive, and we don't need it to satisfy pg_dump's
usage. Hence, apply the additional optimization only when the CREATE
and ALTER are at outermost transaction level.

directly in pg_replication_slots. A recent commit 007693f2a3 added

'conflict_reason' text column to 'conflicting' boolean column (effectively
reverting commit 007693f2a3). The 'conflicting' column is true for
invalidation reasons 'rows_removed' and 'wal_level_insufficient' because
those make the slot conflict with recovery. When 'conflicting' is true,
one can now look at the new 'invalidation_reason' column for the reason
for the logical slot's conflict with recovery.
The new 'invalidation_reason' column will also be useful to track other

TIDStore is a data structure designed to efficiently store large sets
of TIDs. For TID storage, it employs a radix tree, where the key is
a block number, and the value is a bitmap representing offset
numbers. The TIDStore can be created on a DSA area and used by
multiple backend processes simultaneously.
There are potential future users such as tidbitmap.c, though it's very
likely the interface will need to evolve as we come to understand the
needs of different kinds of users. For example, we can support
updating the offset bitmap of existing values.
Currently, the TIDStore is not used for anything yet, aside from the
test code. But an upcoming patch will use it.
This includes a unit test module, in src/test/modules/test_tidstore.

The builtin C.UTF-8 locale has similar semantics to the libc locale of
the same name. That is, code point sort order (fast, memcmp-based)
combined with Unicode semantics for character operations such as
pattern matching, regular expressions, and
LOWER()/INITCAP()/UPPER(). The character semantics are based on
Unicode simple case mappings.
The builtin provider's C.UTF-8 offers several important advantages
over libc:
* faster sorting -- benefits from additional optimizations such as
abbreviated keys and varstrfastcmp_c
* faster case conversion, e.g. LOWER(), at least compared with some
libc implementations
* available on all platforms with identical semantics, and the
semantics are stable, testable, and documentable within a given
Postgres major version
Being based on memcmp, the builtin C.UTF-8 locale does not offer
natural language sort order. But it is an improvement for most use
cases that might otherwise use libc's "C.UTF-8" locale, as well as
many use cases that use libc's "C" locale.

Historically we've printed SubPlan expression nodes as "(SubPlan N)",

In addition, this patch gets rid of EXPLAIN's use of "$n" to represent
subplan and initplan output Params. Instead we now print "(SubPlan
N).colX" or "(InitPlan N).colX" to represent the X'th output column
of that subplan. This eliminates confusion with the use of "$n" to

When considering nestloop paths for individual partitions within
a partitionwise join, if the inner path is parameterized, it is
parameterized by the topmost parent of the outer rel, not the
corresponding outer rel itself. Therefore, we need to translate the
parameterization so that the inner path is parameterized by the
corresponding outer rel.
Up to now, we did this while generating join paths. However, that's
problematic because we must also translate some expressions that are
shared across all paths for a relation, such as restriction clauses
(kept in the RelOptInfo and/or IndexOptInfo) and TableSampleClauses
(kept in the RangeTblEntry). The existing code fails to translate
these at all, leading to wrong answers, odd failures such as
"variable not found in subplan target list", or executor crashes.
But we can't modify them during path generation, because that would
break things if we end up choosing some non-partitioned-join path.
So this patch postpones reparameterization of the inner path until
createplan.c, where it is safe to modify the referenced RangeTblEntry,
RelOptInfo or IndexOptInfo, because we have made a final choice of which
Path to use. We do still have to check during path generation that
the reparameterization will be possible. So we introduce a new
function path_is_reparameterizable_by_child() to detect that.
The duplication between path_is_reparameterizable_by_child() and
reparameterize_path_by_child() is a bit annoying, but there seems
no other good answer. A small benefit is that we can avoid building
useless reparameterized trees in cases where a non-partitioned join
is ultimately chosen. Also, reparameterize_path_by_child() can now
be allowed to scribble on the input paths, saving a few cycles.
This fix repairs the same problems previously addressed in the
back branches by commits 62f120203 et al.

This checks that certain I/O-related Perl functions properly check
their return value. Some parts of the PostgreSQL code had been a bit
sloppy about that. The new perlcritic warnings are fixed here. I
didn't design any beautiful error messages, mostly just used "or die
$!", which mostly matches existing code, and also this is
developer-level code, so having the system error plus source code
reference should be ok.
Initially, we only activate this check for a subset of what the
perlcritic check would warn about. The effective list is
chmod flock open read rename seek symlink system
The initial set of functions is picked because most existing code
already checked the return value of those, so any omissions are
probably unintended, or because it seems important for test
correctness.
The actual perlcritic configuration is written as an exclude list.
That seems better so that we are clear on what we are currently not
checking. Maybe future patches want to investigate checking some of
the other functions. (In principle, we might eventually want to check
all of them, but since this is test and build support code, not
production code, there are probably some reasonable compromises to be

Commit 61461a300c introduced new functions to libpq for cancelling
queries. This replaces the usage of the old ones in parts of the
codebase with these newer ones. This specifically leaves out changes to
psql and pgbench, as those would need a much larger refactor to be able
to call them due to the new functions not being signal-safe; and also
postgres_fdw, because the original code there is not clear to me
(Álvaro) and not fully tested.

I disabled it in cc6e64afda because it was unstable; hopefully the
changes here make it more stable. (Jelte proposed to submit the queries
using simple query protocol, but I chose to instead make the monitor
connection wait until the PgSleep wait event is seen. This is probably
not a terribly meaningful increase in coverage ...)

This routine has been removed in 39969e2a1e with the exclusive backup
mode but there were still references to it.
Issue noticed while working on 071e3ad59d.
This allows a RETURNING clause to be appended to a MERGE query, to
return values based on each row inserted, updated, or deleted. As with
plain INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands, the returned values are
based on the new contents of the target table for INSERT and UPDATE
actions, and on its old contents for DELETE actions. Values from the
source relation may also be returned.
As with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, the output of MERGE ... RETURNING may be
used as the source relation for other operations such as WITH queries
and COPY commands.
Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which
returns 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', or 'DELETE', depending on the action
executed for each row. The merge_action() function can be used
anywhere in the RETURNING list, including in arbitrary expressions and
subqueries, but it is an error to use it anywhere outside of a MERGE
query's RETURNING list.

Given a subplan in a MERGE query, EXPLAIN would sometimes fail to
properly display expressions involving Params referencing variables in
other parts of the plan tree.
This would affect subplans outside the topmost join plan node, for
which expansion of Params would go via the top-level ModifyTable plan
node. The problem was that "inner_tlist" for the ModifyTable node's
deparse_namespace was set to the join node's targetlist, but
"inner_plan" was set to the ModifyTable node itself, rather than the
join node, leading to incorrect results when descending to the
referenced variable.
Fix and backpatch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

destroyStringInfo() is a counterpart to makeStringInfo(), freeing a

align the StringInfo API with the PQExpBuffer API. Originally added
in the OAuth patchset, it was extracted and committed separately in
order to aid upcoming JSON work.

Backpatch-through: 16
The buildfarm script attempts to run all tests marked as
NO_INSTALLCHECK under src/test/modules without paying attention to
whether they are enabled or disabled in the parent Makefile. That
hasn't been a problem so far, because all the tests marked with
NO_INSTALLCHECK ran unconditionally in "make check". But commit
e2e3b8ae9e changed that: the injection fault tests are marked as
NO_INSTALLCHECK, and also depend on --enable-injection-points.
Try to work around that by ensuring that "make check" does nothing in
the those subdirectories. We can hopefully get rid of this hack soon,
after fixing the buildfarm client, or by switching to meson.

There are currently no tests for the low-level backup method where
pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() are involved while taking a
file-system backup. The tests introduced in this commit rely on a
background psql process to make sure that the backup is taken while the
session doing the SQL start and stop calls remains alive.
Two cases are checked here with the backup taken:
- Recovery without a backup_label, leading to a corrupted state.
- Recovery with a backup_label, with a consistent state reached.
Both cases cross-check some patterns in the logs generated when running
recovery.
Compared to the first attempt in 99b4a63bef, this includes a couple of
fixes making the CI stable (5 runs succeeded here):
- Add the file to the list of tests in meson.build.
- Race condition with the first WAL segment that we expect in the
primary's archives, by adding a poll on pg_stat_archiver. The second
segment with the checkpoint record is archived thanks to pg_backup_stop
waiting for it.
- Fix failure of test where the backup_label does not exist. The
cluster inherits the configuration of the first node; it was attempting
to store segments in the first node's archives, triggering failures with
copy on Windows.
- Fix failure of test on Windows because of incorrect parsing of the
backup_file in the success case. The data of the backup_label file is
retrieved from the output pg_backup_stop() from a BackgroundPsql written
directly to the backup's data folder. This would include CRLFs (\r\n),
causing the startup process to fail at the beginning of recovery when
parsing the backup_label because only LFs (\n) are allowed.

Commit a3c7a993d fixed some cases involving target columns that are
arrays or composites by applying transformAssignedExpr to the VALUES
entries, and then stripping off any assignment ArrayRefs or
FieldStores that the transformation added. But I forgot about domains
over arrays or composites :-(. Such cases would either fail with
surprising complaints about mismatched datatypes, or insert unexpected
coercions that could lead to odd results. To fix, extend the
stripping logic to get rid of CoerceToDomain if it's atop an ArrayRef
or FieldStore.
While poking at this, I realized that there's a poorly documented and
not-at-all-tested behavior nearby: we coerce each VALUES column to
the domain type separately, and rely on the rewriter to merge those
operations so that the domain constraints are checked only once.
If that merging did not happen, it's entirely possible that we'd get
unexpected domain constraint failures due to checking a
partially-updated container value. There's no bug there, but while
we're here let's improve the commentary about it and add some test
cases that explicitly exercise that behavior.
Per bug #18393 from Pablo Kharo. Back-patch to all supported
branches.

This function returns the chunk_id of an on-disk TOASTed value. If
the value is un-TOASTed or not on-disk, it returns NULL. This is
useful for identifying which values are actually TOASTed and for
investigating "unexpected chunk number" errors.

We don't determine the position at which a process waiting for a lock
should insert itself into the wait queue until we reach ProcSleep(),
and we may at that point discover that we must insert ourselves ahead
of everyone who wants a conflicting lock, in which case we obtain the
lock immediately. Up until now, a no-wait lock acquisition would fail
in such cases, erroneously claiming that the lock couldn't be obtained
immediately. Fix that by trying ProcSleep even in the no-wait case.
No back-patch for now, because I'm treating this as an improvement to
the existing no-wait feature. It could instead be argued that it's a
bug fix, on the theory that there should never be any case whatsoever
where no-wait fails to obtain a lock that would have been obtained
immediately without no-wait, but I'm reluctant to interpret the
semantics of no-wait that strictly.

New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any
external dependency.
Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C",
which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc
provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that
uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the
new builtin provider uses the same implementation.
The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment
variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the
database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are
set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider.
By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of
a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes
it easier to document the behavior.

This reverts commit 99b4a63bef. The test is proving to be unstable,
so revert it for now.
One of the failures seen involves the cluster started without the
backup_label, where the archives of the primary are overwritten, causing
recovery failures on Windows. This is simple to fix, but there is
another issue that's creeping behind in the form of an "invalid data in
file" ERROR when parsing the backup_label for the second recovery case,
as an effect of the backup_label data written after retrieving its
contents from pg_backup_stop().
