When a foreign key constraint is placed on a partitioned table, we
actually make two pg_constraint entries associated with that table.
(I have my doubts about the wisdom of that, but it's been like that
since v12 and post-feature-freeze is no time to be messing with such
entrenched decisions.) The second "child" entry always had a name
generated according to the default rule, "table_column(s)_fkey[nnn]",
even if the primary entry had an unrelated user-specified name. The
trouble with doing that is that the default name could collide with
the user-specified name of some other constraint on the same table.
While we were willing to adjust the generated name to avoid
collisions, that only helps if it's made second; if it's made first
then creation of the other constraint would fail, potentially causing
dump/reload or pg_upgrade failures.
The core of the problem here is that we're infringing on user
namespace, so I doubt that there's any 100% solution other than to
find a way to not need the "child" entry. In the meantime, it seems
like it'd be an improvement to make the child's name be the name of
the parent constraint with an underscore and digit(s) appended as
necessary to make it unique. This rule can in theory fail in the same
way, but it seems much less probable; for one thing, this rule is
guaranteed not to match primary entries having auto-generated names.
(While an auto-generated primary name isn't user-specified to begin
with, it acts like that during dump/reload, so collisions against such
names are definitely possible.)
An additional bonus, visible in some of the regression test cases
that change here, arises from the fact that some error messages
cite the child constraint's name not the parent's. In the
previous approach the two names could be completely unrelated,
leading to user confusion --- the more so since psql's \d command
hides child constraints. With this approach it's hopefully much
clearer which constraint-the-user-knows-about is failing.
However, that does mean that there's user-visible behavior change
occurring here, making it seem like not something to back-patch.
I feel it's not too late for v18, though.

Buildfarm member drongo complained because the definitions of these
functions used "const Oid foo" where the forward declarations just
had "Oid foo". (I'm a bit surprised that drongo seems to be the only
complainant.) I chose to fix this by removing the "consts" because
(a) I'm generally not a fan of using const that way, and (b) it was
a minority usage even within these two functions, let alone compared
to the rest of our code base.
Oversight in commit eec0040c4, so no need for back-patch.
We were unnecessarily acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on all child tables
when "ALTER TABLE ONLY sometab ADD PRIMARY KEY" was run on their parent
table, an oversight in commit 14e87ffa5c. This caused deadlocks
during pg_restore of partitioned tables.
The reason to acquire the AEL was that we need to verify that child
tables have the involved columns already marked as not-null; but if the
parent table has an inheritable not-null constraint, then all children
must necessarily be in the correct state already, so we can skip the
check, which avoids acquiring the lock. Reorder the code so that it
works that way. This doesn't change things in the case where the
constraint doesn't exist, but that case is of lesser importance because
it doesn't occur during parallel pg_restore.
While at it, reword some errmsg() and add errhint() to similar cases in
related but not adjacent code.

Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the
corresponding names from function definitions in a few places. These
inconsistencies were all introduced during Postgres 18 development.
This commit was written with help from clang-tidy, by mechanically
applying the same rules as similar clean-up commits (the earliest such
commit was commit 035ce1fe).
This allows them to be added without scanning the table, and validating
them afterwards without holding access exclusive lock on the table after
any violating rows have been deleted or fixed.
Doing ALTER TABLE ... SET NOT NULL for a column that has an invalid
not-null constraint validates that constraint. ALTER TABLE .. VALIDATE
CONSTRAINT is also supported. There are various checks on whether an
invalid constraint is allowed in a child table when the parent table has
a valid constraint; this should match what we do for enforced/not
enforced constraints.
pg_attribute.attnotnull is now only an indicator for whether a not-null
constraint exists for the column; whether it's valid or invalid must be
queried in pg_constraint. Applications can continue to query
pg_attribute.attnotnull as before, but now it's possible that NULL rows
are present in the column even when that's set to true.
For backend internal purposes, we cache the nullability status in
CompactAttribute->attnullability that each tuple descriptor carries
(replacing CompactAttribute.attnotnull, which was a mirror of
Form_pg_attribute.attnotnull). During the initial tuple descriptor
creation, based on the pg_attribute scan, we set this to UNRESTRICTED if
pg_attribute.attnotnull is false, or to UNKNOWN if it's true; then we
update the latter to VALID or INVALID depending on the pg_constraint
scan. This flag is also copied when tupledescs are copied.
Comparing tuple descs for equality must also compare the
CompactAttribute.attnullability flag and return false in case of a
mismatch.
pg_dump deals with these constraints by storing the OIDs of invalid
not-null constraints in a separate array, and running a query to obtain
their properties. The regular table creation SQL omits them entirely.
They are then dealt with in the same way as "separate" CHECK
constraints, and dumped after the data has been loaded. Because no
additional pg_dump infrastructure was required, we don't bump its
version number.
I decided not to bump catversion either, because the old catalog state
works perfectly in the new world. (Trying to run with new catalog state
and the old server version would likely run into issues, however.)
System catalogs do not support invalid not-null constraints (because
commit 14e87ffa5c didn't allow them to have pg_constraint rows
anyway.)

Since v15 we've had an option to apply a foreign key constraint's
ON DELETE SET DEFAULT or SET NULL action to just some of the
referencing columns. There was not a check for duplicate entries in
the list of columns-to-set, though. That caused a potential memory
stomp in CreateConstraintEntry(), which incautiously assumed that
the list of columns-to-set couldn't be longer than the number of key
columns. Even after fixing that, the case doesn't work because you
get an error like "multiple assignments to same column" from the SQL
command that is generated to do the update.
We could either raise an error for duplicate columns or silently
suppress the dups, and after a bit of thought I chose to do the
latter. This is motivated by the fact that duplicates in the FK
column list are legal, so it's not real clear why duplicates
in the columns-to-set list shouldn't be. Of course there's no
need to actually set the column more than once.
I left in the fix in CreateConstraintEntry() too, just because
it didn't seem like such low-level code ought to be making
assumptions about what it's handed.

This expands the NOT ENFORCED constraint flag, previously only
supported for CHECK constraints (commit ca87c415e2), to foreign key
constraints.
Normally, when a foreign key constraint is created on a table, action
and check triggers are added to maintain data integrity. With this
patch, if a constraint is marked as NOT ENFORCED, integrity checks are
no longer required, making these triggers unnecessary. Consequently,
when creating a NOT ENFORCED foreign key constraint, triggers will not
be created, and the constraint will be marked as NOT VALID.
Similarly, if an existing foreign key constraint is changed to NOT
ENFORCED, the associated triggers will be dropped, and the constraint
will also be marked as NOT VALID. Conversely, if a NOT ENFORCED
foreign key constraint is changed to ENFORCED, the necessary triggers
will be created, and the will be changed to VALID by performing
necessary validation.
Since not-enforced foreign key constraints have no triggers, the
shortcut used for example in psql and pg_dump to skip looking for
foreign keys if the relation is known not to have triggers no longer
applies. (It already didn't work for partitioned tables.)

DefineRelation was of the opinion that it could usefully pre-fill
atthasdef flags to eliminate work for StoreAttrDefault. This is not
the case, however: the tupledesc that it's filling is not the one that
InsertPgAttributeTuples will work from. The tupledesc used there is
made by RelationBuildLocalRelation, which deliberately doesn't copy
atthasdef. Moreover, if this did happen as the code thinks, it would
be wrong for the case of plain "DEFAULT NULL" clauses, since we detect
and ignore simple-null-Const defaults later on. Hence, remove the
useless code.
It also emerges that it's not really worth a special-case path in
StoreAttrDefault() for atthasdef already being set, because as far as
we can see that never happens: cases where an existing default gets
updated always do RemoveAttrDefault first, so as to clean up
possibly-no-longer-correct dependency entries. If it were the case
the code would still work, anyway.
Also remove a nearby comment made moot by 5eaa0e92e.

If a domain type has a default, adding a column of that type (without
any explicit DEFAULT clause) failed to install the domain's default
value in existing rows, instead leaving the new column null. This
is unexpected, and it used to work correctly before v11. The cause
is confusion in the atthasmissing mechanism about which default value
to install: we'd only consider installing an explicitly-specified
default, and then we'd decide that no table rewrite is needed.
To fix, take the responsibility for filling attmissingval out of
StoreAttrDefault, and instead put it into ATExecAddColumn's existing
logic that derives the correct value to fill the new column with.
Also, centralize the logic that determines the need for
default-related table rewriting there, instead of spreading it over
four or five places.
In the back branches, we'll leave the attmissingval-filling code
in StoreAttrDefault even though it's now dead, for fear that some
extension may be depending on that functionality to exist there.
A separate HEAD-only patch will clean up the now-useless code.

The type argument wasn't actually really necessary. It was a remnant
of converting the API of the gist strategy translation from using
opclass to using opfamily+opcintype (commits c09e5a6a01,
622f678c10). For looking up the gist translation function, we used
the convention "amproclefttype = amprocrighttype = opclass's
opcintype" (see pg_amproc.h). But each operator family should only
have one translation function, and getting the right type for the
lookup is sometimes cumbersome and fragile, so this is all
unnecessarily complicated.
To simplify this, change the gist stategy support procedure to take
"any", "any" as argument. (This is arbitrary but seems intuitive.
The alternative of using InvalidOid as argument(s) upsets various DDL
commands, so it's not practical.) Then we don't need opcintype for
the lookup, and we can remove it from all the API layers introduced by
commit c09e5a6a01.
This also adds some more documentation about the correct signature of
the gist support function and adds more checks in gistvalidate().
This was previously underspecified. (It relied implicitly on
convention mentioned above.)

by removing one level of subroutine. Also, partly remove the assumption
that only partitioned tables are relevant (by passing sensible 'recurse'
arguments) and no longer ignore whether ONLY was specified. I say
'partly' because the current coding only walks down via the 'conparentid'

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.

Validation can happen for each partition individually, which is useful
to contain the number of locks held and the duration; or it can be

validates all child constraints that haven't been validated already.
This is also useful to implement NOT ENFORCED constraints on top.

In common cases, foreign keys are defined on the toplevel partitioned

partitioned table, and the referencing partition is detached, we would
examine the pg_constraint row on the partition being detached, and fail
to realize that the sub-constraints must be left alone. This causes the

This changes commit 7406ab623f in that the gist strategy number
mapping support function is changed to use the CompareType enum as
input, instead of the "well-known" RT*StrategyNumber strategy numbers.
This is a bit cleaner, since you are not dealing with two sets of
strategy numbers. Also, this will enable us to subsume this system
into a more general system of using CompareType to define operator
semantics across index methods.

This function doesn't need the lockmode to be passed: it was being used
to lock the new heap, but that's bogus, because the only caller has
already obtained the appropriate lock on the new heap (which is
unimportant anyway, because the relation's creation is not yet committed
and so no other session can see it).
Noticed while reviewed Antonin Houska's patch to add VACUUM FULL
CONCURRENTLY.
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.
