When selecting a new OID, we take care to avoid picking one that's already in use in the target table, so as not to create duplicates after the OID counter has wrapped around. However, up to now we used SnapshotDirty when scanning for pre-existing entries. That ignores committed-dead rows, so that we could select an OID matching a deleted-but-not-yet-vacuumed row. While that mostly worked, it has two problems: * If recently deleted, the dead row might still be visible to MVCC snapshots, creating a risk for duplicate OIDs when examining the catalogs within our own transaction. Such duplication couldn't be visible outside the object-creating transaction, though, and we've heard few if any field reports corresponding to such a symptom. * When selecting a TOAST OID, deleted toast rows definitely *are* visible to SnapshotToast, and will remain so until vacuumed away. This leads to a conflict that will manifest in errors like "unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast value nnnnn". We've been seeing reports of such errors from the field for years, but the cause was unclear before. The fix is simple: just use SnapshotAny to search for conflicting rows. This results in a slightly longer window before object OIDs can be recycled, but that seems unlikely to create any large problems.

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 web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
