In match_unique_clauses(), use equal() to compare complete restriction
clauses after substituting the relation ID, instead of comparing their
operands separately. This ensures that the operator and input
collation also match, preventing incorrect self-join elimination when
restrictions have identical operands but different semantics.
The former code apparently intended to support matching clauses to
commuted versions of those clauses, but the amount of complication
that added seems far out of proportion to the value, so just drop
that goal. (If we wanted to reinstate it, something based on
applying CommuteOpExpr or equivalent logic would be better.)

Backwards scans that reach a half-dead leftmost leaf page step over the
page without calling _bt_readpage. This happens whenever the most
recent _bt_lock_and_validate_left call returned a half-dead leftmost
page. An assertion within _bt_readnextpage failed to consider this,
causing it to fail spuriously.
To fix, make the assertion accept the case where currPage doesn't match
lastcurrblkno as long as blkno is P_NONE (it's always P_NONE when the

rightmost page).

As mentioned in the comments in TransactionIdDidAbort() and in
heapam_visibility.c, the usual procedure for checking whether a
transaction aborted is to first call TransactionIdIsInProgress(), and
then !TransactionIdDidCommit(). A couple places didn't get the memo,
and used TransactionIdDidAbort() incorrectly.
In DoesMultiXactIdConflict(), the consequence was that if a
conflicting transaction was just aborting, and had already marked the
transaction as aborted in pg_xact, but had not yet removed itself from
ProcArray, the function would return false meaning that it does not
conflict, even though it was still considered as running by
TransactionIdIsInProgress(). That could cause trouble later. One
known consequence is that if you then went ahead with updating the row
again and called MultiXactIdExpand(), MultiXactIdExpand() would see
both the old aborting transaction and the new updater as still
running, and throw an ERROR: new multixact has more than one updating
member. The multixact-aborted-updater.spec included in this commit
exercises that scenario.
Another place that got this wrong was in heap_update(), where we check
if the updating transaction that was part of a multixid committed or
aborted. Because it used TransactionIdDidAbort(), if the updating
transaction crashed, it was considered as committed and heap_update()
incorrectly returned TM_Updated indicating a conflict, even though the
row could be updated. This would only happen if the multixid as whole
was still considered running, i.e. if the tuple was still locked by
other transactions while the updating transaction crashed. That can
happen if the locker is a prepared transaction. The included
060_multixact_crashed_updater.pl test tests that scenario.

8741e48e5 made EvalPlanQualStart() borrow the parent EState's
es_part_prune_states. However, the ExprContext in each
PartitionPruneState belongs to the parent EState, so exec pruning during
an EPQ recheck used the parent's PARAM_EXEC values, i.e. those from the
old row version. This could prune away the partition the recheck
needed, causing the row to be silently skipped, e.g. with a correlated
subquery on a partitioned table in the WHERE clause of an UPDATE.
Here we fix this by giving the EPQ EState its own PartitionPruneStates,
while still borrowing the parent's es_part_prune_results so that the
same subplans are initialized. As the states are no longer shared, the
"initialized" field added by 1b5dd3a24 is no longer needed, so remove
it. This also undoes the ABI break that field caused in 18.

Self-join elimination failed to check for inheritance cases,
which has two big problems. First, a unique index on the parent
table isn't sufficient to prove uniqueness across its children too.
Second, since we matched RTEs by OID without considering rte->inh,
we could try to merge "mytable" with "mytable ONLY", which doesn't
even represent the same set of rows.
We can fix both issues by just skipping RTEs that have inh set.
preprocess_relation_rtes already cleared that flag for tables known
not to have inheritance children, so this doesn't break SJE for the

The process by which a hash index inserter finishes an incomplete bucket
split involves a walk of the new bucket (the bucket "being populated")
to collect the TIDs that the interrupted split already moved. This

conditional cleanup locks on both buckets. When either lock could not

When constructing a historic snapshot for logical decoding,
reorderbuffer needs to keep track of movement of tuples in catalog
tables. For the most part this works correctly, except that when a
subtransaction that wrote a catalog tuple aborts, we failed to "forget"
about that change. There's no known reports of anything actually
breaking except assertion failures, but it is likely possible to
construct cases where historical snapshots produce bogus visibility
answers, potentially causing incorrect decoding output.
To fix, have the decode of a subtransaction abort go over the TUPLECID
list that has been accumulated on the ReorderBufferTXN for its topmost
parent transaction, and remove all the entries that were marked as
originating from the aborted subtransaction or its children. There are
some little details in which various devils lie, which the added code
comments explain (we hope).
Add a couple of isolation test cases that trip the assertions with the
original coding. They're not ideal test design, because they pass in
non-assert builds without the fix. But we'd rather have the fix be
verified in that limited scenario than nowhere at all, and they are
cheap enough.
This bug is sibling to the one fixed in commit 8c67d29fd5 and, like
that one, it goes all the way back to the introduction of
reorderbuffers, so backpatch to all live branches.
While reviewing this, I (Álvaro) was bothered by the snapmgr.c

getQuadrant() places a point on each axis with the fuzzy comparisons
FPlt(), FPgt() and FPeq(), which do not cover every case. FPeq()
compares the rounded difference against EPSILON, while FPlt() and FPgt()
round the sum of one operand and EPSILON. When the centroid plus
EPSILON rounds up, a point equal to that rounded sum is more than
EPSILON above the centroid, so FPeq() is false. FPgt() compares it with
the same rounded sum, so it is false too, and FPlt() is false because
the point is above the centroid. The same gap exists below the
centroid, when the centroid minus EPSILON rounds down. No quadrant
matches, and index builds, inserts and searches fail with
"getQuadrant: impossible case".
To fix, fall back to deciding each axis separately: Use fuzzy tests
first and then tiebreak with exact comparisons. That gives every finite
value a quadrant (NaN coordinates are still an error). Points that
matched a fuzzy test before are routed as before, so existing indexes
remain valid.

match_clause_to_partition_key() tells whether a comparison value can
be evaluated during executor-startup pruning by checking that it has
no Vars, no volatile functions and no PARAM_EXEC Params. A SubPlan
normally fails the last test, since the testexpr of an ANY/ALL SubPlan
references the subplan's output Params. But if the left-hand side is
a NULL constant, the strict comparison operator in the testexpr is
const-folded to a NULL Const, and an uncorrelated SubPlan has no
parParam or args either, so nothing is left for pull_exec_paramids()
to find. The expression then reaches initial_pruning_steps, where
ExecDoInitialPruning() must evaluate it before any PlanState exists,
and we fail with "SubPlan found with no parent plan".
To fix, don't allow such an expression to be used for startup-time
pruning. It's still fine for per-scan pruning, which has a PlanState
to evaluate it with. Expressions containing exec Params are
unaffected.
This has been broken since d47cbf474, which moved initial pruning out
of ExecInitNode(); before that, pruning always had the parent node's

If a proposed join has lateral references to rels outside it,
join_is_legal() checks that those rels can still be joined to from
outside. To do that it collects the rels that must end up on the
inner side of an outer join with the proposed join, directly or
indirectly, and rejects the join if any of its lateral references
point to one of them.
That search followed only outer joins, from min_lefthand to
min_righthand. It failed to notice that a rel that laterally
references the proposed join, or any rel found by the search, cannot
supply a parameter to the proposed join either, and that the same
holds for rels on the inner side of an outer join with such a rel. As
a result, we could approve a join whose lateral references could never
be satisfied.
Such a join can never appear in a complete plan. Worse, as the
existing comment warns, its apparent legality could mislead the
clauseless-join heuristics into thinking that some other join rel need
not be formed. In particular, have_join_order_restriction() would not
force a clauseless outer join if one of its input rels appeared to
have a legal clause join elsewhere, and if that outer join was
required, we would fail with "failed to build any N-way joins".
To fix, also include in the search any input rel of the current join
search that laterally references a rel already found. The input rels
are taken from root->initial_rels rather than from the query's base
rels, because an input can be the joinrel of a sub-joinlist, as
happens for a full join or when from_collapse_limit or
join_collapse_limit prevents flattening. Such a joinrel is joined as
a unit, so it has to be included as a whole.

When pull_up_sublinks() converts a sublink to an antijoin, it builds a
JoinExpr with no RTE, on the grounds that nothing above the join can
reference its RHS. That overlooks PlaceHolderVars. A PHV with no
Vars of its own is evaluated at its phrels, and for the outputs of a
pulled-up subquery phrels is all the relids in the subquery's
jointree, including the RHS of such a join.
A qual using the PHV thus appears to reference the RHS rels, and can
be pushed down into the RHS as a parameterized join clause. There it
has the opposite of the intended effect: outer rows that fail the qual
find no match and are emitted, giving wrong results. For an outer
join, including an antijoin made by reducing a left join, this cannot
happen because the join's relid is among the qual's relids. Before
v16, the qual's nullable_relids prevented it.
To fix, make a join RTE for an antijoin built from a sublink, so that
it has a relid like any other outer join. Semijoins are left as they
are: a qual evaluated within a semijoin's RHS does not change the
result.
Back-patch to v16. Before that, the qual's nullable_relids included
the antijoin's RHS, which kept the qual from being moved there; that
protection went away when nullable_relids was replaced by outer-join
relids.

Building extended statistics of type "ndistinct" calls
ndistinct_for_combination() once for every combination of columns. Each
call allocates arrays for the whole sample and never frees them, with
memory accumulating until the whole statistics object is built. The

(default_statistics_target up to 10k), this can add up to gigabytes
worth of memory, useless once a combination is computed.
ndistinct_for_combination() is now called in a dedicated memory context,

Commit 2ebf25e7d left query_planner's qp_callback call where
it had been historically, but that turns out to be a bad idea.
It means that the code reached via qp_callback is subject to the
must-be-able-to-restart rule created by looping back after join
removal. We found one place that fails that requirement:
adjust_group_pathkeys_for_groupagg sets Aggref.aggpresorted flags,
and there's nothing that will reset those in case of a query_planner
restart, yet the selected set of Aggrefs can change. There might be
other places with similar issues.
Fortunately, qp_callback's main charter is to compute/update pathkey
values, and that is not something that join removal depends on or
should depend on. (Whether join removal is valid is surely not
dependent on what order the rel might get scanned in.) Nothing else
within the restart loop depends on it either --- in other words,
the existing placement was a bit random to begin with. So we can
fix this problem just by moving that call to below the restart loop.
That costs nothing, indeed it saves some cycles by not having to do
that processing more than once. And removing an unstated requirement
from code that's not directly called by query_planner should help
forestall future bugs.
While the known bug only exists in v18 and up (older branches lack the
aggpresorted optimization), I've chosen to back-patch the code change
to v16 like 2ebf25e7d was. This is the sort of API requirement that
we don't really want to be different across branches.

A hash index scan whose target bucket is still being populated by a
split must read both buckets of the split: forward scans read the bucket
being populated (skipping the tuples that the split copied there) and
then the bucket being split, and backward scans read them in the
opposite order. _hash_readnext and _hash_readprev make the transition
from the first bucket to the second, but _hash_next did not: on reaching
the end of the first bucket, it ended the scan, so every matching tuple
in the second bucket was overlooked.
To fix, teach _hash_next to make the same transition, using helper
functions shared with _hash_readnext and _hash_readprev.
_hash_next only missed the transition when the last page that it read in
the first bucket had a match (otherwise _hash_readpage's loop made the
required transition). Getting wrong answers also needed a matching
tuple to be inserted into the bucket being populated _after_ the split
began. Forward scans then lost the older tuples in the bucket being
split. An incomplete split would keep the buckets in this state until
an inserter finished the split at some indeterminate later time. Note
that wrong answers didn't require an incomplete split.
Although this fix treats the bug as the omission of a required step in
_hash_next, the real problem is the way that page stepping works in
general. The logic for stepping to the next page appears both in
high-level routines like _hash_next and in low-level routines like
_hash_readnext and _hash_readprev. If anything, _hash_next already knew
too much about page stepping (cf. nbtree's _bt_next function). All of
the logic around stepping really belongs in one routine, modeled on
nbtree's _bt_steppage function, but that approach is much too invasive
for a backpatched fix.
Claude Code found this problem. The committed test case is a simplified
version of the one that it wrote to demonstrate this bug.

For run-time partition pruning running during execution (rather than at
executor startup), EvalPlanQualStart() reuses the es_part_prune_states
from the parent EState. This could cause an issue when the EPQ recheck is
finished, its EState is cleaned up and the es_query_cxt is deleted by
FreeExecutorState(). That cleanup could free memory that was allocated
again in InitExecPartitionPruneContexts() when it was called for the EPQ's
EState, and naturally, those fields got allocated in the EPQ's
es_query_cxt MemoryContext, which overwrote the ones for the parent
EState. If pruning occurs again after the EPQ's EState was cleaned up,
then we could have accessed free'd memory. This certainly caused issues in
debug builds because we clobber freed memory, but may not have in

Here we fix this by adding an "initialized" field to PartitionPruneState

already initialized.
This was broken by bb3ec16e1, but the breakage there is slightly

Commit 5cd72cc0c5 made the VACUUM VERBOSE and autovacuum logs report
buffer usage from the pgBufferUsage delta, which includes the parallel
workers' usage, but left the I/O timings on the leader's
pgStatBlockReadTime and pgStatBlockWriteTime. So the log counted the
blocks the workers read and dirtied but not the time they spent on
them.
Fix this by taking the I/O timings from the same BufferUsage delta.
This also removes a small error in the leader's own timings, since
pgStatBlock{Read,Write}Time accumulate whole microseconds per I/O.
Although 5cd72cc0c5 was backpatched to v15, BufferUsage on v16 doesn't
track the I/O time of temporary relations, so the same fix there would
drop that time from the log. We don't think a reporting issue is worth
v16-specific code, nor worth leaving v16 unfixed between v15 and v17,
so backpatch to v17 only.

_bt_pagedel only builds a search stack when it needs one to locate the
downlink of the page that it's about to mark half-dead (and when it
doesn't already have one from an earlier sibling deletion that took
place during the same _bt_pagedel call). _bt_pagedel won't build a
search stack for the page its caller passes whenever it happens to be
one that an earlier interrupted VACUUM left half-dead (since there is no
downlink to remove). We nevertheless asserted that page deletion could
only build a search stack for that initial caller-passed page.
To fix, remove the assertion, which spuriously failed when a half-dead
leaf page was passed by the _bt_pagedel caller and its right sibling
page was empty/had to be considered for deletion during the same call
(necessitating building a search stack to locate the right sibling's
downlink).

When a join alias Var with nonempty varnullingrels expands to an
expression that cannot carry the nullingrels itself, such as the
RowExpr of a whole-row Var, add_nullingrels_if_needed() wraps it in a
PlaceHolderVar. The choice of the PHV's phrels had several problems.
First, phrels was taken from all Vars in the expression. If a LATERAL
subquery within the join has been pulled up, the expression can
contain lateral references to rels outside the join, so the PHV could
be evaluated above the outer join that is supposed to null it. This
gave wrong results, or "wrong phnullingrels" errors.
Second, for a variable-free expression we fell back to the join's
relids but removed the join's own outer-join relid. That leaves a set
spanning both sides of the outer join without the join itself, which
can make the PHV look nullable by that join and cause "wrong
phnullingrels" errors.
Third, that fallback raised "unsupported join alias expression" when
the Var is an outer reference from a subquery. The restriction is
unnecessary: every planner caller passes root->parse as the query, so
the Var always belongs to root->parse regardless of its varlevelsup.
To fix, restrict phrels to the rels within the join, and if nothing is
left, evaluate the PHV at the join including its outer-join relid, at
any varlevelsup. Add an assertion that the query is root->parse.

When a query has aggregates or GROUP BY, parseCheckAggregates()
flattens join alias Vars in the grouping expressions, target list and
HAVING clause so that aliased and unaliased references compare equal.
The parser has no PlannerInfo, so this relies on every join alias
expression being able to carry varnullingrels without a PHV. That
doesn't hold for a whole-row Var of a join on the nullable side of an
outer join: it expands to a RowExpr, and pushing the nulling bits down
into its fields would turn a NULL row into ROW(NULL, ...). Such
queries therefore failed with "unsupported join alias expression".
To fix, leave a nulled whole-row join Var unexpanded when no root is
available. The planner expands it later and wraps it in a
PlaceHolderVar as before. Nothing is lost for GROUP BY matching: a
nulled whole-row Var can only be equal to the same Var, never to an
expression over the join's columns.
This has been broken since the introduction of varnullingrels in v16.

reindexdb batches the REINDEX commands of all indexes attached to the
same table into a single multi-statement query when using multiple jobs,
as two steps with query "gen" and "run".
Such a query fails with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, as this command cannot run
inside a transaction block. Batching cannot be avoided because the
indexes of one table have to be re-indexed one at a time to avoid
conflicts across jobs.
Let's error out cleanly on the reindexdb side if this combination of
options is used, instead of having the server complain about that. This
case has not been considered by 47f99a407d.
If there is interest in supporting this combination of options, the code
should be redesigned for this purpose with some better batching, rather
than try to use sets of "gen" and "run" routines. As currently written,
an index-level reindexdb uses a set of "gen" steps with one final "run"
step, which is nice code-wise. (Note: I doubt that that this would be
worth the effort.)

bpchar equality ignores trailing spaces, so equal values in a column
with no length specifier can have different images. Similarly,
oidvector equality intentionally pays no attention to the array lower
bound field. We nevertheless allowed nbtree deduplication to be used
with indexes built with bpchar_ops, bpchar_pattern_ops, or
oidvector_ops. A posting list split could therefore place a TID in an
index tuple whose key was equal to, but not bytewise identical to, the
corresponding table value. This allowed index-only scans to return
subtly wrong results.
To fix, drop support function 4 from the affected opclasses (we can't
change catalog contents on branches 14 through 18, so we just disable
deduplication by adding hard-coding to the relevant support functions).
Deliberately leave the oidvector opclass alone on branches 14 through
18, though. Disallowing oidvector deduplication on these branches would
make pg_amcheck report that pg_proc_proname_args_nsp_index has a corrupt
metapage, needlessly alarming users.
System catalog oidvector values always have a lower bound of 0, so the
issue can't cause harm there; a user can only hit it by indexing an
oidvector column that stores the output of a function like trim_array().
It seems very unlikely that any user would ever do that.
Users should REINDEX any B-Tree index on a bpchar column.

pull_up_simple_subquery() rechecks is_simple_subquery() after pulling
up the subquery's own subqueries, but it flattened join alias Vars in
the subquery's targetlist only after that, and never in its quals. A
join alias Var within the subquery, such as a whole-row Var of a join,
can expand to an expression containing lateral references to the outer
query once the join's inputs have been pulled up, and until it is
flattened is_simple_subquery() cannot see them. We could thus pull up
a LATERAL subquery whose targetlist or quals reference rels outside
the lowest outer join above it. This leads to assertion failures in
distribute_qual_to_rels() or "wrong phnullingrels" errors, and in some
cases to wrong query results, where rows that should have been
preserved by an outer join above the subquery are discarded.
To fix, flatten join alias Vars in the targetlist, and in the jointree
quals if the subquery is LATERAL, before the recheck. If the recheck
fails, the flattened copy is discarded along with the rest of the
modified subquery, so no harm is done.

Previously, dropping a NOT NULL column, adding a new column with the same
name, and making it a primary key in a single ALTER TABLE command could
fail with "primary key column ... is not marked NOT NULL". This happened
because ALTER TABLE checked for an existing NOT NULL constraint before
dropping the old column. Finding the constraint caused it to skip adding
one for the new column, even though the old constraint would be removed
with the old column.
Defer this check until after column drops and additions have been
executed, so that it examines the columns that will actually form the
primary key. Add any required NOT NULL constraints before creating the
primary-key index.

still processed when build_subplan collects the node, and that
processing descended into the already-preprocessed PHV and tripped the

It's a bad idea to sleep while holding locks, because you might block
another process that wants to acquire the same lock. Furthermore,
it's not safe to call ProcessConfigFile() in a critical section or
while holding locks. So avoid calling vacuum_delay_point() while
holding locks, and also make vacuum_delay_point() return quickly
without sleeping if it's called while interrupts cannot be processed.
To find the vacuum_delay_point() calls that were made while holding
locks, I added "Assert(INTERRUPTS_CAN_BE_PROCESSED())" in
vacuum_delay_point() and ran the regression tests. I didn't include
that Assert in this commit, because there might be more places that do
that that are not covered by the regression tests, including
extensions.
In ginInsertCleanup(), there was already another vacuum_delay_point()
call later in the loop, while not holding any locks, so just remove
the other call that was made while holding the lock.
In hashbucketcleanup(), move the vacuum_delay_point() call up the
stack to its caller. The call in hashbucketcleanup() was not able to
handle interrupts because it held a lock, and because there were no
vacuum_delay_point() or CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls in the caller's
loop, the whole hash index vacuuming phase was uninterruptible by
pending shutdown or query cancel. Now it can be interrupted between
buckets. Unfortunately, hashbucketcleanup() has to process all the
bucket's pages in one go without pausing; fixing that would require
changing how hashbucketcleanup()'s lock chaining works.
In acquire_sample_rows(), move the vacuum_delay_point() call in the
loop to between pages, to a time where we're not holding the buffer
lock.
In master, also remove a misleading CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call from
pgstat_write_statsfile(). It was a no-op because we're always holding
a lock on the current dshash partition at that point. A call that
does nothing is harmless, but it makes you think that the loop is
interruptible when in reality it's not.

When a LATERAL UNION ALL subquery is flattened into an appendrel, a
child EquivalenceMember's expression can contain lateral references to
other relations. create_join_clause() builds a clause from such a
member with make_restrictinfo(), which computes clause_relids from the
expression, and so includes the relids of the lateral references along
with those of any outer joins that null them. Commit 03107b4ed made
sure that clause_relids include the child's relids, but it only ever
added relids.
This is a problem when a lateral reference is nullable. The child is
parameterized by its lateral_relids, which do not include the outer
joins that null the lateral references, so the clause fails the
join_clause_is_movable_into() assertion that
get_baserel_parampathinfo() applies to EC-derived clauses.
To fix, set a child clause's clause_relids from its members' em_relids
rather than from their expressions. This matches how
adjust_appendrel_attrs() computes clause_relids for a child's other
join clauses. The lateral references need not be included, since
every path for the child is parameterized by at least its
lateral_relids. Also update num_base_rels to match, which commit
03107b4ed neglected to do.
Back-patch to v16, where outer-join relids were added to
clause_relids. Before that, the relids of a lateral reference are

On Windows, a backend exiting resets its connection, and the client
discards any data not yet read, including the FATAL message of a
terminated backend. isolationtester polls one connection at a time, so
when it waits on a different session the message can get lost, failing
the permutation and the tests that run after it.
wait_cleanup in injection_points (down to v17) and slot_creation_error
in test_decoding (down to v15) have this pattern, and have been failing
randomly in the buildfarm. Let's skip them on Windows.
The cause of the instabilities is proving to be tricky to deal with,
pointing for example at 29992a6a50. This will be tackled later,
perhaps with a backpatch (or perhaps with a HEAD-only solution), but it
is difficult to be sure at this stage of the work. In theory,
a8458f508a should make a revert of 29992a6a50 (revert of a revert!)
safe on WIN32.
Note that 278cdea6b9, that has introduced the isolation test
