Amit Kapila 26b3455afa Fix partition table's REPLICA IDENTITY checking on the subscriber.
In logical replication, we will check if the target table on the
subscriber is updatable by comparing the replica identity of the table on
the publisher with the table on the subscriber. When the target table is a
partitioned table, we only check its replica identity but not for the
partition tables. This leads to assertion failure while applying changes
for update/delete as we expect those to succeed only when the
corresponding partition table has a primary key or has a replica
identity defined.

Fix it by checking the replica identity of the partition table while
applying changes.

Tom Lane 9cd43f6cbd Fix busted tab completion of extension versions.
In 02b8048ba I (tgl) got rid of the need for most tab-completion queries
to return pre-quoted identifiers.  But I over-hastily removed the
quote_ident call from Query_for_list_of_available_extension_versions*
too; those still need it, because what is returned isn't an identifier
at all and will (almost?) always need quoting.

Arguably we should use quote_literal here instead.  But quote_ident
works too and people may be used to that behavior, so stick with it.

In passing, fix inconsistent omission of schema-qualification in
Query_for_list_of_encodings.  That's not a security issue per our
current guidelines, but it ought to be like the rest.

Tomas Vondra e3fcca0d0d Revert changes in HOT handling of BRIN indexes
This reverts commits 5753d4ee32 and fe60b67250 that modified HOT to
ignore BRIN indexes. The commit message for 5753d4ee32 claims that:

    When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using
    HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed only by BRIN indexes. There
    are no index pointers to individual tuples in BRIN, and the page
    range summary will be updated anyway as it relies on visibility
    info.

This is partially incorrect - it's true BRIN indexes don't point to
individual tuples, so HOT chains are not an issue, but the visibitlity
info is not sufficient to keep the index up to date. This can easily
result in corrupted indexes, as demonstrated in the hackers thread.

This does not mean relaxing the HOT restrictions for BRIN is a lost
cause, but it needs to handle the two aspects (allowing HOT chains and
updating the page range summaries) as separate. But that requires a
major changes, and it's too late for that in the current dev cycle.

This reverts the changes to pg_upgrade's Makefile and .gitignore done in

Amit Kapila 5a97b13254 Fix cache look-up failures while applying changes in logical replication.
While building a new attrmap which maps partition attribute numbers to
remoterel's, we incorrectly update the map for dropped column attributes.
Later, it caused cache look-up failure when we tried to use the map to
fetch the information about attributes.

This also fixes the partition map cache invalidation which was using the
wrong type cast to fetch the entry. We were using stale partition map
entry after invalidation which leads to the assertion or cache look-up
failure.

Michael Paquier a3ff08e0b0 Tweak behavior of psql --single-transaction depending on ON_ERROR_STOP
This commit, in completion of 157f873, forces a ROLLBACK for
--single-transaction only when ON_ERROR_STOP is used when one of the
steps defined by -f/-c fails.  Hence, COMMIT is always used when
ON_ERROR_STOP is not set, ignoring the status code of the last action
taken in the set of switches specified by -c/-f (previously ROLLBACK
would have been issued even without ON_ERROR_STOP if the last step
failed, while COMMIT was issued if a step in-between failed as long as
the last step succeeded, leading to more inconsistency).

While on it, this adds much more test coverage in this area when not
using ON_ERROR_STOP with multiple switch patterns involving -c and -f
for query files, single queries and slash commands.

The behavior of ON_ERROR_STOP is arguably a bug, but there was no much
support for a backpatch to force a ROLLBACK on a step failure, so this
change is done only on HEAD for now.

Tom Lane ba412c905a Avoid ecpglib core dump with out-of-order operations.
If an application executed operations like EXEC SQL PREPARE
without having first established a database connection, it could
get a core dump instead of the expected clean failure.  This
occurred because we did "pthread_getspecific(actual_connection_key)"
without ever having initialized the TSD key actual_connection_key.
The results of that are probably platform-specific, but at least
on Linux it often leads to a crash.

To fix, add calls to ecpg_pthreads_init() in the code paths that
might use actual_connection_key uninitialized.  It's harmless
(and hopefully inexpensive) to do that more than once.

In commit ec62cb0aa, I foolishly replaced ExecEvalWholeRowVar's

there were no regression test cases to jog my memory.  But the
existing code was correct, so revert that change and add a test
case showing why it's necessary.  (Note: per comment in struct
DatumTupleFields, it is correct to produce an output tuple that's
labeled with the base composite type, not the domain; hence just
blindly looking through the domain is correct here.)

Peter Eisentraut e77de23fbb psql: Show notices immediately (again)
The new show-all-results feature in psql (7844c9918) went out of its
way to show notices next to the results of the statements (in a

consequence that notices for a single statement were not shown until
after the statement had executed, instead of right away.  After some

here we are giving up on the first goal and just show the notices as
we get them.  This restores the pre-7844c9918 behavior for notices.

Tom Lane 7ab5b4eb48 Be more careful about GucSource for internally-driven GUC settings.
The original advice for hard-wired SetConfigOption calls was to use
PGC_S_OVERRIDE, particularly for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs.  However,
that's really overkill for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs, since there is no
possibility that we need to override a user-provided setting.
Instead use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT in most places, so that the
value will appear with source = 'default' in pg_settings and thereby
not be shown by psql's new \dconfig command.  The one exception is
that when changing in_hot_standby in a hot-standby session, we still
use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, because people felt that seeing that in \dconfig
would be a good thing.

Similarly use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT for the auto-tune value of
wal_buffers (if possible, that is if wal_buffers wasn't explicitly
set to -1), and for the typical 2MB value of max_stack_depth.

In combination these changes remove four not-very-interesting
entries from the typical output of \dconfig, all of which people
fingered as "why is that showing up?" in the discussion thread.

Michael Paquier 4fff78f009 Restructure pg_upgrade output directories for better idempotence
38bfae3 has moved the contents written to files by pg_upgrade under a
new directory called pg_upgrade_output.d/ located in the new cluster's
data folder, and it used a simple structure made of two subdirectories
leading to a fixed structure: log/ and dump/.  This design has made
weaker pg_upgrade on repeated calls, as we could get failures when
creating one or more of those directories, while potentially losing the
logs of a previous run (logs are retained automatically on failure, and
cleaned up on success unless --retain is specified).  So a user would
need to clean up pg_upgrade_output.d/ as an extra step for any repeated
calls of pg_upgrade.  The most common scenario here is --check followed
by the actual upgrade, but one could see a failure when specifying an
incorrect input argument value.  Removing entirely the logs would have
the disadvantage of removing all the past information, even if --retain
was specified at some past step.

This result is annoying for a lot of users and automated upgrade flows.
So, rather than requiring a manual removal of pg_upgrade_output.d/, this
redesigns the set of output directories in a more dynamic way, based on
a suggestion from Tom Lane and Daniel Gustafsson.  pg_upgrade_output.d/
is still the base path, but a second directory level is added, mostly
named after an ISO-8601-formatted timestamp (in short human-readable,
with milliseconds appended to the name to avoid any conflicts).  The
logs and dumps are saved within the same subdirectories as previously,
as of log/ and dump/, but these are located inside the subdirectory
named after the timestamp.

The logs of a given run are removed only after a successful run if
--retain is not used, and pg_upgrade_output.d/ is kept if there are any
logs from a previous run.  Note that previously, pg_upgrade would have
kept the logs even after a successful --check but that was inconsistent
compared to the case without --check when using --retain.  The code in
charge of the removal of the output directories is now refactored into a
single routine.

Two TAP tests are added with some --check commands (one failure case and
one success case), to look after the issue fixed here.  Note that the
tests had to be tweaked a bit to fit with the new directory structure so
as it can find any logs generated on failure.  This is still going to
require a change in the buildfarm client for the case where pg_upgrade
is tested without the TAP test, though, but I'll tackle that with a
separate patch where needed.

psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches
in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising
behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an
error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which
would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already
applied in the backend.  This commit makes the behavior more consistent,
by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both
client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error
happens in any of them.

Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that.
Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE
if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work
properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is
what the original report is about.

The hard-wired PageOutput arguments in usage() and sibling functions

magic constants by constructing the output in a buffer where we can
count the newlines before calling PageOutput.  (Perhaps this is
microscopically slower; but none of these functions are performance
critical, and anyway we might well be buying back all the cost by
avoiding having to pass most of the data through snprintf.c.  I could
not detect any speed difference in a desultory check.)  This also
gets rid of the need to assume that platform-specific variations in
the output are insignificant.

so as any files generated by pg_upgrade do not impact the source tree,
but the build tree.  This has as nice side-effect to make unnessary the
presence of such files in pg_upgrade's .gitignore and Makefile.  This
strategy is similar to psql's test 010_tab_completion.pl, though the
reasons behind this choice are different.

In passing, fix one misleading test name that was added by 99f6f19.

Tom Lane 4ecacc3c8c Doc: improve example for intarray's uniq() function.
The previous entry invited confusion between what uniq() does
by itself and what it does when combined with sort().  The latter
usage is pretty useful so we should show it, but add an additional
example to clarify the results of uniq() alone.

Per suggestion from Martin Kalcher.  Back-patch to v13, where
we switched to formatting that supports multiple examples.

The regression tests of libpq have been converted to a TAP test as of

Amit Kapila fd0b9dcebd Prohibit combining publications with different column lists.
Currently, we simply combine the column lists when publishing tables on
multiple publications and that can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
Say, if a column is published in any row-filtered publication, then the
values for that column are sent to the subscriber even for rows that don't
match the row filter, as long as the row matches the row filter for any
other publication, even if that other publication doesn't include the
column.

The main purpose of introducing a column list is to have statically
different shapes on publisher and subscriber or hide sensitive column
data. In both cases, it doesn't seem to make sense to combine column
lists.

So, we disallow the cases where the column list is different for the same
table when combining publications. It can be later extended to combine the
column lists for selective cases where required.

Tom Lane eb39610f82 Fix pl/perl test case so it will still work under Perl 5.36.
Perl 5.36 has reclassified the warning condition that this test
case used, so that the expected error fails to appear.  Tweak
the test so it instead exercises a case that's handled the same
way in all Perl versions of interest.

This appears to meet our standards for back-patching into
out-of-support branches: it changes no user-visible behavior
but enables testing of old branches with newer tools.
Hence, back-patch as far as 9.2.

David Rowley bbb6489042 Doc: mention limitation of the number of resultset columns
The PostgreSQL limitations section of the documents mentioned the limit
on the number of columns that can exist in a table.  Users might be
surprised to find that there's also a limit on the number of columns that
can exist in a targetlist.  Users may experience restrictions which
surprise them if they happened to select a large number of columns from
several tables with many columns.  Here we document that there is a
limitation on this and mention what that limit actually is.

Revert changes to CONCURRENTLY that "sped up" Xmin advance
This reverts commit d9d076222f "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations
with CONCURRENTLY".

These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to
miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index
creation.  Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented
by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this
change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that
backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them.  This is
not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely
occur.  In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of
corrupting the resulting index.

Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on
very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes
away.  We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for
now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy
fix.

Backpatch to 14, where this change appeared.
