This adds a new variant of generated columns that are computed on read
(like a view, unlike the existing stored generated columns, which are
computed on write, like a materialized view).
The syntax for the column definition is
... GENERATED ALWAYS AS (...) VIRTUAL
and VIRTUAL is also optional. VIRTUAL is the default rather than
STORED to match various other SQL products. (The SQL standard makes
no specification about this, but it also doesn't know about VIRTUAL or
STORED.) (Also, virtual views are the default, rather than
materialized views.)
Virtual generated columns are stored in tuples as null values. (A
very early version of this patch had the ambition to not store them at
all. But so much stuff breaks or gets confused if you have tuples
where a column in the middle is completely missing. This is a
compromise, and it still saves space over being forced to use stored
generated columns. If we ever find a way to improve this, a bit of
pg_upgrade cleverness could allow for upgrades to a newer scheme.)
The capabilities and restrictions of virtual generated columns are
mostly the same as for stored generated columns. In some cases, this
patch keeps virtual generated columns more restricted than they might
technically need to be, to keep the two kinds consistent. Some of
that could maybe be relaxed later after separate careful
considerations.
Some functionality that is currently not supported, but could possibly
be added as incremental features, some easier than others:
- index on or using a virtual column
- hence also no unique constraints on virtual columns
- extended statistics on virtual columns
- foreign-key constraints on virtual columns
- not-null constraints on virtual columns (check constraints are supported)
- ALTER TABLE / DROP EXPRESSION
- virtual column cannot have domain type
- virtual columns are not supported in logical replication
The tests in generated_virtual.sql have been copied over from
generated_stored.sql with the keyword replaced. This way we can make
sure the behavior is mostly aligned, and the differences can be
visible. Some tests for currently not supported features are
currently commented out.

If a column is omitted in an INSERT, and there's no column default,
the code in preptlist.c generates a NULL Const to be inserted.
Furthermore, if the column is of a domain type, we wrap the Const
in CoerceToDomain, so as to throw a run-time error if the domain
has a NOT NULL constraint. That's fine as far as it goes, but
there are two problems:
1. We're being sloppy about the type/typmod that the Const is
labeled with. It really should have the domain's base type/typmod,
since it's the input to CoerceToDomain not the output. This can
result in coerce_to_domain inserting a useless length-coercion
function (useless because it's being applied to a null). The
coercion would typically get const-folded away later, but it'd
be better not to create it in the first place.
2. We're not applying expression preprocessing (specifically,
eval_const_expressions) to the resulting expression tree.
The planner's primary expression-preprocessing pass already happened,
so that means the length coercion step and CoerceToDomain node miss
preprocessing altogether.
This is at the least inefficient, since it means the length coercion
and CoerceToDomain will actually be executed for each inserted row,
though they could be const-folded away in most cases. Worse, it
seems possible that missing preprocessing for the length coercion
could result in an invalid plan (for example, due to failing to
perform default-function-argument insertion). I'm not aware of
any live bug of that sort with core datatypes, and it might be
unreachable for extension types as well because of restrictions of
CREATE CAST, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's unreachable.
Hence, it seems worth back-patching the fix (although I only went
back to v14, as the patch doesn't apply cleanly at all in v13).
There are several places in the rewriter that are building null
domain constants the same way as preptlist.c. While those are
before the planner and hence don't have any reachable bug, they're
still applying a length coercion that will be const-folded away
later, uselessly wasting cycles. Hence, make a utility routine
that all of these places can call to do it right.
Making this code more careful about the typmod assigned to the
generated NULL constant has visible but cosmetic effects on some
of the plans shown in contrib/postgres_fdw's regression tests.

This allows the RETURNING list of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE queries
to explicitly return old and new values by using the special aliases
"old" and "new", which are automatically added to the query (if not
already defined) while parsing its RETURNING list, allowing things
like:
RETURNING old.colname, new.colname, ...
RETURNING old.*, new.*
Additionally, a new syntax is supported, allowing the names "old" and
"new" to be changed to user-supplied alias names, e.g.:
RETURNING WITH (OLD AS o, NEW AS n) o.colname, n.colname, ...
This is useful when the names "old" and "new" are already defined,
such as inside trigger functions, allowing backwards compatibility to
be maintained -- the interpretation of any existing queries that
happen to already refer to relations called "old" or "new", or use
those as aliases for other relations, is not changed.
For an INSERT, old values will generally be NULL, and for a DELETE,
new values will generally be NULL, but that may change for an INSERT
with an ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE clause, or if a query rewrite rule
changes the command type. Therefore, we put no restrictions on the use
of old and new in any DML queries.

This enables SCRAM authentication for postgres_fdw when connecting to

Despite the best efforts of commit 0e5c82380, we're still seeing
occasional failures of postgres_fdw's query_cancel test in the
buildfarm. Investigation suggests that its 100ms timeout is
still not enough to reliably ensure that the remote side starts
the query before receiving the cancel request --- and if it
hasn't, it will just discard the request because it's idle.
We discussed allowing a cancel request to kill the next-received
query, but that would have wide and perhaps unpleasant side-effects.
What seems safer is to make postgres_fdw do what a human user would
likely do, which is issue another cancel request if the first one
didn't seem to do anything. We'll keep the same overall 30 second
grace period before concluding things are broken, but issue additional
cancel requests after 1 second, then 2 more seconds, then 4, then 8.
(The next one in series is 16 seconds, but we'll hit the 30 second
timeout before that.)
Having done that, revert the timeout in query_cancel.sql to 10 ms.
That will still be enough on most machines, most of the time, for
the remote query to start; but now we're intentionally risking the
race condition occurring sometimes in the buildfarm, so that the
repeat-cancel code path will get some testing.
As before, back-patch to v17. We might eventually contemplate
back-patching this further, and/or adding similar logic to dblink.
But given the lack of field complaints to date, this feels like
mostly an exercise in test case stabilization, so v17 is enough.

The new compact_attrs array stores a few select fields from
FormData_pg_attribute in a more compact way, using only 16 bytes per
column instead of the 104 bytes that FormData_pg_attribute uses. Using
CompactAttribute allows performance-critical operations such as tuple
deformation to be performed without looking at the FormData_pg_attribute
element in TupleDesc which means fewer cacheline accesses.
For some workloads, tuple deformation can be the most CPU intensive part
of processing the query. Some testing with 16 columns on a table
where the first column is variable length showed around a 10% increase in
transactions per second for an OLAP type query performing aggregation on
the 16th column. However, in certain cases, the increases were much
higher, up to ~25% on one AMD Zen4 machine.
This also makes pg_attribute.attcacheoff redundant. A follow-on commit
will remove it, thus shrinking the FormData_pg_attribute struct by 4
bytes.

The topic of turning EXPLAIN's BUFFERS option on with the ANALYZE option
has come up a few times over the past few years. In many ways, doing this
seems like a good idea as it may be more obvious to users why a given
query is running more slowly than they might expect. Also, from my own
(David's) personal experience, I've seen users posting to the mailing
lists with two identical plans, one slow and one fast asking why their
query is sometimes slow. In many cases, this is due to additional reads.
Having BUFFERS on by default may help reduce some of these questions, and
if not, make it more obvious to the user before they post, or save a
round-trip to the mailing list when additional I/O effort is the cause of
the slowness.
The general consensus is that we want BUFFERS on by default with
ANALYZE. However, there were more than zero concerns raised with doing
so. The primary reason against is the additional verbosity, making it
harder to read large plans. Another concern was that buffer information
isn't always useful so may not make sense to have it on by default.
It's currently December, so let's commit this to see if anyone comes
forward with a strong objection against making this change. We have over
half a year remaining in the v18 cycle where we could still easily consider
reverting this if someone were to come forward with a convincing enough
reason as to why doing this is a bad idea.
There were two patches independently submitted to achieve this goal, one
by me and the other by Guillaume. This commit is a mix of both of these
patches with some additional work done by me to adjust various
additional places in the documentation which include EXPLAIN ANALYZE
output.

wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t,

This test occasionally shows
+WARNING: could not get result of cancel request due to timeout
which appears to be because the cancel request is sometimes unluckily
sent to the remote session between queries, and then it's ignored.
This patch tries to make that less probable in three ways:
1. Use a test query that does not involve remote estimates, so that
no EXPLAINs are sent.
2. Make sure that the remote session is ready-to-go (transaction
started, SET commands sent) before we start the timer.
3. Increase the statement_timeout to 100ms, to give the local
session enough time to plan and issue the query.
We might have to go higher than 100ms to make this adequately

Previously, when a path type was disabled by e.g. enable_seqscan=false,
we either avoided generating that path type in the first place, or
more commonly, we added a large constant, called disable_cost, to the
estimated startup cost of that path. This latter approach can distort
planning. For instance, an extremely expensive non-disabled path
could seem to be worse than a disabled path, especially if the full
cost of that path node need not be paid (e.g. due to a Limit).
Or, as in the regression test whose expected output changes with this
commit, the addition of disable_cost can make two paths that would
normally be distinguishible in cost seem to have fuzzily the same cost.
To fix that, we now count the number of disabled path nodes and
consider that a high-order component of both the startup cost and the
total cost. Hence, the path list is now sorted by disabled_nodes and
then by total_cost, instead of just by the latter, and likewise for
the partial path list. It is important that this number is a count
and not simply a Boolean; else, as soon as we're unable to respect
disabled path types in all portions of the path, we stop trying to
avoid them where we can.
Because the path list is now sorted by the number of disabled nodes,
the join prechecks must compute the count of disabled nodes during
the initial cost phase instead of postponing it to final cost time.
Counts of disabled nodes do not cross subquery levels; at present,
there is no reason for them to do so, since the we do not postpone
path selection across subquery boundaries (see make_subplan).

When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the

of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the

This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign

To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the

The buildfarm member "hake" reported a failure in the regression test
added by commit 857df3cef7, where postgres_fdw_get_connections(true)
returned unexpected results.
The function postgres_fdw_get_connections(true) checks
if a connection is closed by using POLLRDHUP in the requested events
and calling poll(). Previously, the function only considered
POLLRDHUP or 0 as valid returned events. However, poll() can also
return POLLHUP, POLLERR, and/or POLLNVAL. So if any of these events
were returned, postgres_fdw_get_connections(true) would report
incorrect results. postgres_fdw_get_connections(true) failed to

If we intend to generate a Memoize node on top of a path, we need
cache keys of some sort. Currently we search for the cache keys in
the parameterized clauses of the path as well as the lateral_vars of
its parent. However, it turns out that this is not sufficient because
there might be lateral references derived from PlaceHolderVars, which
we fail to take into consideration.
This oversight can cause us to miss opportunities to utilize the
Memoize node. Moreover, in some plans, failing to recognize all the
cache keys could result in performance regressions. This is because
without identifying all the cache keys, we would need to purge the
entire cache every time we get a new outer tuple during execution.
This patch fixes this issue by extracting lateral Vars from within
PlaceHolderVars and subsequently including them in the cache keys.
In passing, this patch also includes a comment clarifying that Memoize
nodes are currently not added on top of join relation paths. This
explains why this patch only considers PlaceHolderVars that are due to
be evaluated at baserels.

Hash joins can support semijoin with the LHS input on the right, using

the first match for each inner tuple is considered, which can be
achieved by leveraging the HEAP_TUPLE_HAS_MATCH flag. This can be very

and running it through the Unique operator. Both of these methods
always require reading all rows from the union subqueries.
Here we adjust the union planner so that it can request that each subquery
produce results in target list order so that these can be Merge Appended
together and made unique with a Unique node. This can improve performance
significantly as the union child can make use of the likes of btree
indexes and/or Merge Joins to provide the top-level UNION with presorted
input. This is especially good if the top-level UNION contains a LIMIT
node that limits the output rows to a small subset of the unioned rows as
cheap startup plans can be used.

Historically we've printed SubPlan expression nodes as "(SubPlan N)",
which is pretty uninformative. Trying to reproduce the original SQL
for the subquery is still as impractical as before, and would be
mighty verbose as well. However, we can still do better than that.
Displaying the "testexpr" when present, and adding a keyword to
indicate the SubLinkType, goes a long way toward showing what's
really going on.
In addition, this patch gets rid of EXPLAIN's use of "$n" to represent
subplan and initplan output Params. Instead we now print "(SubPlan
N).colX" or "(InitPlan N).colX" to represent the X'th output column
of that subplan. This eliminates confusion with the use of "$n" to
represent PARAM_EXTERN Params, and it's useful for the first part of
this change because it eliminates needing some other indication of
which subplan is referenced by a SubPlan that has a testexpr.
In passing, this adds simple regression test coverage of the
ROWCOMPARE_SUBLINK code paths, which were entirely unburdened
by testing before.

For UNION ALL queries where a union child query contained a foreign
table, if the targetlist of that query contained a constant, and the
top-level query performed an ORDER BY which contained the column for the
constant value, then postgres_fdw would find the EquivalenceMember with
the Const and then try to produce an ORDER BY containing that Const.
This caused problems with INT typed Consts as these could appear to be
requests to order by an ordinal column position rather than the constant
value. This could lead to either an error such as:
ERROR: ORDER BY position <int const> is not in select list
or worse, if the constant value is a valid column, then we could just
sort by the wrong column altogether.
Here we fix this issue by just not including these Consts in the ORDER
BY clause.
In passing, add a new section for testing ORDER BY in the postgres_fdw
tests and move two existing tests which were misplaced in the WHERE
clause testing section into it.

Backpatch-through: 12, oldest supported version
For ANY-SUBLINK, we adopted a two-stage pull-up approach to handle
different types of scenarios. In the first stage, the sublink is pulled up
as a subquery. Because of this, when writing this code, we did not have
the ability to perform lateral joins, and therefore, we were unable to
pull up Var with varlevelsup=1. Now that we have the ability to use
lateral joins, we can eliminate this limitation.

Until now PostgreSQL has not been very smart about optimizing away IS
NOT NULL base quals on columns defined as NOT NULL. The evaluation of
these needless quals adds overhead. Ordinarily, anyone who came
complaining about that would likely just have been told to not include
the qual in their query if it's not required. However, a recent bug
report indicates this might not always be possible.
Bug 17540 highlighted that when we optimize Min/Max aggregates the IS NOT
NULL qual that the planner adds to make the rewritten plan ignore NULLs
can cause issues with poor index choice. That particular case
demonstrated that other quals, especially ones where no statistics are
available to allow the planner a chance at estimating an approximate
selectivity for can result in poor index choice due to cheap startup paths
being prefered with LIMIT 1.
Here we take generic approach to fixing this by having the planner check
for NOT NULL columns and just have the planner remove these quals (when
they're not needed) for all queries, not just when optimizing Min/Max
aggregates.
Additionally, here we also detect IS NULL quals on a NOT NULL column and
transform that into a gating qual so that we don't have to perform the
scan at all. This also works for join relations when the Var is not
nullable by any outer join.
This also helps with the self-join removal work as it must replace
strict join quals with IS NOT NULL quals to ensure equivalence with the
original query.

This replaces dblink's blocking libpq calls, allowing cancellation and
allowing DROP DATABASE (of a database not involved in the query). Apart
from explicit dblink_cancel_query() calls, dblink still doesn't cancel
the remote side. The replacement for the blocking calls consists of
new, general-purpose query execution wrappers in the libpqsrv facility.
Out-of-tree extensions should adopt these. Use them in postgres_fdw,
replacing a local implementation from which the libpqsrv implementation
derives. This is a bug fix for dblink. Code inspection identified the
bug at least thirteen years ago, but user complaints have not appeared.
Hence, no back-patch for now.

SEMI-JOIN is deparsed as the EXISTS subquery. It references outer and inner
relations, so it should be evaluated as the condition in the upper-level WHERE
clause. The signatures of deparseFromExprForRel() and deparseRangeTblRef() are
revised so that they can add conditions to the upper level.
PgFdwRelationInfo now has a hidden_subquery_rels field, referencing the relids
used in the inner parts of semi-join. They can't be referred to from upper
relations and should be used internally for equivalence member searches.
The planner can create semi-join, which refers to inner rel vars in its target
list. However, we deparse semi-join as an exists() subquery. So we skip the
case when the target list references to inner rel of semi-join.

A WaitEventSet holds file descriptors or event handles (on Windows).
If FreeWaitEventSet is not called, those fds or handles are leaked.
Use ResourceOwners to track WaitEventSets, to clean those up
automatically on error.
This was a live bug in async Append nodes, if a FDW's
ForeignAsyncRequest function failed. (In back branches, I will apply a
more localized fix for that based on PG_TRY-PG_FINALLY.)
The added test doesn't check for leaking resources, so it passed even
before this commit. But at least it covers the code path.
In the passing, fix misleading comment on what the 'nevents' argument
to WaitEventSetWait means.

cac169d68 adjusted DEFAULT_FDW_TUPLE_COST and that seems to have caused
a test to become unstable on 32-bit machines.
4b14e1871 tried to fix this as originally the plan was flipping between
a Nested Loop and Hash Join. That commit forced the Nested Loop, but
there's still flexibility to push or not push the sort to the remote
server and 32-bit seems to prefer to push and on 64-bit, the costs
prefer not to.
Here let's just turn off enable_sort to significantly encourage the sort
to take place on the remote server.

0.01 was unrealistically low as it's the same as the default
cpu_tuple_cost and 10x cheaper than the default parallel_tuple_cost.
It's hard to imagine a situation where fetching a tuple from a foreign
server would be cheaper than fetching one from a parallel worker.
After some experimentation on a loopback server, somewhere between 0.15
and 0.3 seems more realistic. Here we split the difference and set it
to 0.2.
This will cause operations that reduce the number of tuples (e.g.
aggregation) to be more likely to take place on the foreign server.
Adjusting this causes some plan changes in the postgres_fdw regression
tests. This is because penalizing each Path with the additional tuple
costs causes some dilution of the costs of the other operations being
charged for and results in various paths appearing to be closer to the
same costs such that add_path's STD_FUZZ_FACTOR is more likely to see two
paths as costing (fuzzily) the same. This isn't ideal, but it shouldn't
be reason enough to use artificially low costs.

Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an
enum definition. A lot of new code has been introducing this style on
the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to
this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last
value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place,
some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could
nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing
commas everywhere once.
I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will
always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg,
in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were
also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere
(but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit,
so I left those alone.
