Michael Paquier 835bcba8b8 Add table to regression tests for binary-compatibility checks in pg_upgrade This commit adds to the main regression test suite a table with all the in-core data types (some exceptions apply). This table is not dropped, so as pg_upgrade would be able to check the binary compatibility of the types tracked in the table. If a new type is added in core, this part of the tests would need a refresh but the tests are designed to fail if that were to happen. As this is useful for upgrades and that these rely on the objects created in the regression test suite of the old version upgraded from, a backpatch down to 12 is done, which is the last point where a binary incompatible change has been done (`7c15cef`). This will hopefully be enough to find out if something gets broken during the development of a new version of Postgres, so as it is possible to take actions in pg_upgrade itself in this case (like `0ccfc28` for sql_identifier). An area that is not covered yet is related to external modules, which may create their own types. The testing infrastructure of pg_upgrade is not integrated yet with the external modules stored in core (src/test/modules/ or contrib/, all use the same database name for their tests so there would be an overlap). This could be improved in the future.

README

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
