Copy-and-pasteo in 665c5855e, evidently. The 9.6 docs toolchain
whined about duplicate index entries, though our modern toolchain
doesn't. In any case, these GUCs surely are not about the
default settings of these values.
Rather than trying to pick table aliases that won't conflict with
any possible user-defined matview column name, adjust the queries'
syntax so that the aliases are only used in places where they can't be
mistaken for column names. Mostly this consists of writing "alias.*"
not just "alias", which adds clarity for humans as well as machines.
We do have the issue that "SELECT alias.*" acts differently from
"SELECT alias", but we can use the same hack ruleutils.c uses for
whole-row variables in SELECT lists: write "alias.*::compositetype".
We might as well revert to the original aliases after doing this;
they're a bit easier to read.

Formerly, the numeric code tested whether an integer value of a larger
type would fit in a smaller type by casting it to the smaller type and
then testing if the reverse conversion produced the original value.
That's perfectly fine, except that it caused a test failure on
buildfarm animal castoroides, most likely due to a compiler bug.
Instead, do these tests by comparing against PG_INT16/32_MIN/MAX. That
matches existing code in other places, such as int84(), which is more
widely tested, and so is less likely to go wrong.
While at it, add regression tests covering the numeric-to-int8/4/2
conversions, and adjust the recently added tests to the style of
434ddfb79a (on the v11 branch) to make failures easier to diagnose.

postgres_fdw imported generated columns from the remote tables as plain
columns, and caused failures like "ERROR: cannot insert a non-DEFAULT
value into column "foo"" when inserting into the foreign tables, as it
tried to insert values into the generated columns. To fix, we do the
following under the assumption that generated columns in a postgres_fdw
foreign table are defined so that they represent generated columns in
the underlying remote table:
* Send DEFAULT for the generated columns to the foreign server on insert
or update, not generated column values computed on the local server.
* Add to postgresImportForeignSchema() an option "import_generated" to
include column generated expressions in the definitions of foreign
tables imported from a foreign server. The option is true by default.
The assumption seems reasonable, because that would make a query of the
postgres_fdw foreign table return values for the generated columns that
are consistent with the generated expression.
While here, fix another issue in postgresImportForeignSchema(): it tried
to include column generated expressions as column default expressions in
the foreign table definitions when the import_default option was enabled.

This fixes a long-standing bug when using to_char() to format a
numeric value in scientific notation -- if the value's exponent is
less than -NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE-1 (-1001), it produced a
division-by-zero error.
The reason for this error was that get_str_from_var_sci() divides its
input by 10^exp, which it produced using power_var_int(). However, the
underflow test in power_var_int() causes it to return zero if the
result scale is too small. That's not a problem for power_var_int()'s
only other caller, power_var(), since that limits the rscale to 1000,
but in get_str_from_var_sci() the exponent can be much smaller,
requiring a much larger rscale. Fix by introducing a new function to
compute 10^exp directly, with no rscale limit. This also allows 10^exp
to be computed more efficiently, without any numeric multiplication,
division or rounding.

This fixes a couple of related problems that arise when raising
numbers to very large powers.
Firstly, when raising a negative number to a very large integer power,
the result should be well-defined, but the previous code would only
cope if the exponent was small enough to go through power_var_int().
Otherwise it would throw an internal error, attempting to take the
logarithm of a negative number. Fix this by adding suitable handling
to the general case in power_var() to cope with negative bases,
checking for integer powers there.
Next, when raising a (positive or negative) number whose absolute
value is slightly less than 1 to a very large power, the result should
approach zero as the power is increased. However, in some cases, for
sufficiently large powers, this would lose all precision and return 1
instead of 0. This was due to the way that the local_rscale was being
calculated for the final full-precision calculation:
local_rscale = rscale + (int) val - ln_dweight + 8
The first two terms on the right hand side are meant to give the
number of significant digits required in the result ("val" being the
estimated result weight). However, this failed to account for the fact
that rscale is clipped to a maximum of NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE
(1000), and the result weight might be less then -1000, causing their
sum to be negative, leading to a loss of precision. Fix this by
forcing the number of significant digits calculated to be nonnegative.
It's OK for it to be zero (when the result weight is less than -1000),
since the local_rscale value then includes a few extra digits to
ensure an accurate result.
Finally, add additional underflow checks to exp_var() and power_var(),
so that they consistently return zero for cases like this where the
result is indistinguishable from zero. Some paths through this code
already returned zero in such cases, but others were throwing overflow
errors.

The point of introducing the hash_mem_multiplier GUC was to let users
reproduce the old behavior of hash aggregation, i.e. that it could use
more than work_mem at need. However, the implementation failed to get
the job done on Win64, where work_mem is clamped to 2GB to protect
various places that calculate memory sizes using "long int". As
written, the same clamp was applied to hash_mem. This resulted in
severe performance regressions for queries requiring a bit more than
2GB for hash aggregation, as they now spill to disk and there's no
way to stop that.
Getting rid of the work_mem restriction seems like a good idea, but
it's a big job and could not conceivably be back-patched. However,
there's only a fairly small number of places that are concerned with
the hash_mem value, and it turns out to be possible to remove the
restriction there without too much code churn or any ABI breaks.
So, let's do that for now to fix the regression, and leave the
larger task for another day.

with the larger task, namely pg_bitutils.h support for working with

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17073-1a5fdaed0fa5d4d0@postgresql.org
We have an implementation restriction that PREPARE TRANSACTION can't
handle cases where both session-lifespan and transaction-lifespan locks
are held on the same lockable object. (That's because we'd otherwise
need to acquire a new PROCLOCK entry during post-prepare cleanup, which
is an operation that might fail. The situation can only arise with odd
usages of advisory locks, so removing the restriction is probably not
worth the amount of effort it would take.) AtPrepare_Locks attempted
to enforce this, but its logic was many bricks shy of a load, because
it only detected cases where the session and transaction locks had the
same lockmode. Locks of different modes on the same object would lead
to the rather unhelpful message "PANIC: we seem to have dropped a bit
somewhere".
To fix, build a transient hashtable with one entry per locktag,
not one per locktag + mode, and use that to detect conflicts.

We previously took a hard-line attitude that callers should never print
a null string pointer, and doing so is worthy of an assertion failure
or crash. However, we've long since flushed out any easy-to-find bugs
of that nature. What remains is a lot of code that perhaps could fail
that way in hard-to-reach corner cases. For example, in something as
simple as
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT),
errmsg("constraint \"%s\" for table \"%s\" does not exist",
conname, get_rel_name(relid))));
one must wonder whether it's completely guaranteed that get_rel_name
cannot return NULL in this context. If such a situation did occur,
the existing policy converts what might be a pretty minor bug into
a server crash condition. This is not good for robustness.
Hence, let's follow the lead of glibc and print "(null)" instead
of failing. We should, of course, still consider it a bug if that
behavior is reachable in ordinary use; but crashing seems less
desirable than not crashing.
This fix works across-the-board in v12 and up, where we always use
src/port/snprintf.c. Before that, on most platforms we're at the mercy
of the local libc, but it appears that Solaris 10 is the only supported
platform where we'd still get a crash. Most other platforms such as
*BSD, macOS, and Solaris 11 have adopted glibc's behavior at some
point. (AIX and HPUX just print "" not "(null)", but that's close
enough.) I've not checked what Windows' native printf would do, but
it doesn't matter because we've long used snprintf.c on that platform.
In v12 and up, also const-ify related code so that we're not casting
away const on the constant string. This is just neatnik-ism, since
next to no compilers will warn about that.

If an error was raised during our initial attempt to check whether
a successfully-compiled expression is "simple", subsequent calls of
exec_stmt_execsql would suppose that stmt->mod_stmt was already computed
when it had not been. This could lead to assertion failures in debug
builds; in production builds the effect would typically be to act as
if INTO STRICT had been specified even when it had not been. Of course
that only matters if the subsequent attempt to execute the expression
succeeds, so that the problem can only be reached by fixing a failure
in some referenced, inline-able SQL function and then retrying the
calling plpgsql function in the same session.
(There might be even-more-obscure ways to change the expression's
behavior without changing the plpgsql function, but that one seems
like the only one people would be likely to hit in practice.)
The most foolproof way to fix this would be to arrange for
exec_prepare_plan to not set expr->plan until we've finished the
subsidiary simple-expression check. But it seems hard to do that
without creating reference-count leak issues. So settle for documenting
the hazard in a comment and fixing exec_stmt_execsql to test separately
for whether it's computed stmt->mod_stmt. (That adds a test-and-branch
per execution, but hopefully that's negligible in context.) In v11 and
up, also fix exec_stmt_call which had a variant of the same issue.

The logic handling the opening of new WAL segments was fuzzy when using
--compress if a partial, non-compressed, segment with the same base name
existed in the repository storing those files. In this case, using
--compress would cause the code to first check for the existence and the
size of a non-compressed segment, followed by the opening of a new
compressed, partial, segment. The code was accidentally working
correctly on most platforms as the buildfarm has proved, except
bowerbird where gzflush() could fail in this code path. It is wrong
anyway to take the code path used pre-padding when creating a new
partial, non-compressed, segment, so let's fix it.
Note that this issue exists when users mix successive runs of
pg_receivewal with or without compression, as discovered with the tests
introduced by ffc9dda.
While on it, this refactors the code so as code paths that need to know
about the ".gz" suffix are down from four to one in walmethods.c, easing
a bit the introduction of new compression methods. This addresses a
second issue where log messages generated for an unexpected failure
would not show the compressed segment name involved, which was
confusing, printing instead the name of the non-compressed equivalent.

used in combination with a byval Datum sort (tuplesort_begin_datum), when

free_sort_tuple(). The problem was that when sorting Datums of a byval
type, the tuple is NULL and free_sort_tuple() would free the memory for it
regardless of that. This would result in a crash.
Here we fix that simply by adding a check to see if the tuple is NULL
before trying to disassociate and free any memory belonging to it.
The reason this bug is only theoretical is that nowhere in the current
code base do we do tuplesort_set_bound() when performing a Datum sort.

in this way then it's likely to cause problems.
