Tom Lane 3d76328298 Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to emit REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW commands last.
Because we push all ACL (i.e. GRANT/REVOKE) restore steps to the end,
materialized view refreshes were occurring while the permissions on
referenced objects were still at defaults.  This led to failures if,
say, an MV owned by user A reads from a table owned by user B, even
if B had granted the necessary privileges to A.  We've had multiple
complaints about that type of restore failure, most recently from
Jordan Gigov.

The ideal fix for this would be to start treating ACLs as dependency-
sortable objects, rather than hard-wiring anything about their dump order
(the existing approach is a messy kluge dating to commit dc0e76ca3).
But that's going to be a rather major change, and it certainly wouldn't
lead to a back-patchable fix.  As a short-term solution, convert the
existing two-pass hack (ie, normal objects then ACLs) to a three-pass hack,
ie, normal objects then ACLs then matview refreshes.  Because this happens
in RestoreArchive(), it will also fix the problem when restoring from an
existing archive-format dump.

(Note this means that if a matview refresh would have failed under the
permissions prevailing at dump time, it'll fail during restore as well.
We'll define that as user error rather than something we should try
to work around.)

To avoid performance loss in parallel restore, we need the matview
refreshes to still be parallelizable.  Hence, clean things up enough
so that both ACLs and matviews are handled by the parallel restore
infrastructure, instead of reverting back to serial restore for ACLs.
There is still a final serial step, but it shouldn't normally have to
do anything; it's only there to try to recover if we get stuck due to
some problem like unresolved circular dependencies.

Patch by me, but it owes something to an earlier attempt by Kevin Grittner.
Back-patch to 9.3 where materialized views were introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
