Concurrently dropping either the granted role or the grantee
does not stop GRANT from completing, instead resulting in a
dangling role reference in pg_auth_members. That's relatively
harmless in the short run, but inconsistent catalog entries
are not a good thing.
This patch solves the problem by adding the granted and grantee
roles as explicit shared dependencies of the pg_auth_members entry.
That's a bit indirect, but it works because the pg_shdepend code
applies the necessary locking and rechecking.
Commit 6566133c5 previously established similar handling for
the grantor column of pg_auth_members; it's not clear why it
didn't cover the other two role OID columns.
A side-effect of this approach is that DROP OWNED BY will now drop
pg_auth_members entries that mention the target role as either the
granted or grantee role. That's clearly appropriate for the
grantee, since we'll drop its other privileges too. It doesn't
seem too far out of line for the granted role, since we're
presumably about to drop it and besides we're removing all reasons
why it'd matter to be a member of it. (One could argue that this
makes DropRole's code to auto-drop pg_auth_members entries
unnecessary, but I chose to leave it in place since perhaps some
people's workflows expect that to work without a DROP OWNED BY.)
Note to patch readers: CreateRole's first CommandCounterIncrement
call is now unconditional, because this change creates another
case in which it's needed, and it seemed to be more trouble than
it's worth to preserve that micro-optimization.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but the fact that it changes the
expected contents of pg_shdepend seems like not a great thing
to do in the stable branches, and perhaps we don't want the
change in DROP OWNED BY semantics there either. On the other
hand, I opted not to force a catversion bump in HEAD, because
the presence or absence of these entries doesn't matter for
most purposes.

The signedness of the 'char' type in C is
implementation-dependent. For instance, 'signed char' is used by
default on x86 CPUs, while 'unsigned char' is used on aarch
CPUs. Previously, we accidentally let C implementation signedness
affect persistent data. This led to inconsistent results when
comparing char data across different platforms.
This commit introduces a new 'default_char_signedness' field in
ControlFileData to store the signedness of the 'char' type. While this
change does not encourage the use of 'char' without explicitly
specifying its signedness, this field can be used as a hint to ensure
consistent behavior for pre-v18 data files that store data sorted by
the 'char' type on disk (e.g., GIN and GiST indexes), especially in
cross-platform replication scenarios.
Newly created database clusters unconditionally set the default char
signedness to true. pg_upgrade (with an upcoming commit) changes this
flag for clusters if the source database cluster has
signedness=false. As a result, signedness=false setting will become
rare over time. If we had known about the problem during the last
development cycle that forced initdb (v8.3), we would have made all
clusters signed or all clusters unsigned. Making pg_upgrade the only
source of signedness=false will cause the population of database
clusters to converge toward that retrospective ideal.
Bump catalog version (for the catalog changes) and PG_CONTROL_VERSION
(for the additions in ControlFileData).

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 c09e5a6a016,
622f678c102). 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 c09e5a6a016.
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.)

With \bind, \parse, \bind_named and \close, it is possible to issue
queries from psql using the extended protocol. However, it was not
possible to send these queries using libpq's pipeline mode. This
feature has two advantages:
- Testing. Pipeline tests were only possible with pgbench, using TAP
tests. It now becomes possible to have more SQL tests that are able to
stress the backend with pipelines and extended queries. More tests will
be added in a follow-up commit that were discussed on some other
threads. Some external projects in the community had to implement their
own facility to work around this limitation.
- Emulation of custom workloads, with more control over the actions
taken by a client with libpq APIs. It is possible to emulate more
workload patterns to bottleneck the backend with the extended query
protocol.
This patch adds six new meta-commands to be able to control pipelines:
* \startpipeline starts a new pipeline. All extended queries are queued
until the end of the pipeline are reached or a sync request is sent and
processed.
* \endpipeline ends an existing pipeline. All queued commands are sent
to the server and all responses are processed by psql.
* \syncpipeline queues a synchronisation request, without flushing the
commands to the server, equivalent of PQsendPipelineSync().
* \flush, equivalent of PQflush().
* \flushrequest, equivalent of PQsendFlushRequest()
* \getresults reads the server's results for the queries in a pipeline.
Unsent data is automatically pushed when \getresults is called. It is
possible to control the number of results read in a single meta-command
execution with an optional parameter, 0 means that all the results
should be read.

This commit implements OAUTHBEARER, RFC 7628, and OAuth 2.0 Device
Authorization Grants, RFC 8628. In order to use this there is a
new pg_hba auth method called oauth. When speaking to a OAuth-
enabled server, it looks a bit like this:
$ psql 'host=example.org oauth_issuer=... oauth_client_id=...'
Visit https://oauth.example.org/login and enter the code: FPQ2-M4BG
Device authorization is currently the only supported flow so the
OAuth issuer must support that in order for users to authenticate.
Third-party clients may however extend this and provide their own
flows. The built-in device authorization flow is currently not
supported on Windows.
In order for validation to happen server side a new framework for
plugging in OAuth validation modules is added. As validation is
implementation specific, with no default specified in the standard,
PostgreSQL does not ship with one built-in. Each pg_hba entry can
specify a specific validator or be left blank for the validator
installed as default.
This adds a requirement on libcurl for the client side support,
which is optional to build, but the server side has no additional
build requirements. In order to run the tests, Python is required
as this adds a https server written in Python. Tests are gated
behind PG_TEST_EXTRA as they open ports.

Now pg_dump accepts the options --schema-only, --no-schema,
--data-only, --no-data, --statistics-only, and --no-statistics; which
allow all combinations of schema, data, and/or stats. The options are
named this way to preserve compatibility with the previous

This commit introduces idle_replication_slot_timeout GUC that allows
inactive slots to be invalidated at the time of checkpoint. Because
checkpoints happen checkpoint_timeout intervals, there can be some lag
between when the idle_replication_slot_timeout was exceeded and when the
slot invalidation is triggered at the next checkpoint. To avoid such lags,
users can force a checkpoint to promptly invalidate inactive slots.
Note that the idle timeout invalidation mechanism is not applicable for
slots that do not reserve WAL or for slots on the standby server that are
synced from the primary server (i.e., standby slots having 'synced' field
'true'). Synced slots are always considered to be inactive because they
don't perform logical decoding to produce changes.
The slots can become inactive for a long period if a subscriber is down
due to a system error or inaccessible because of network issues. If such a
situation persists, it might be more practical to recreate the subscriber
rather than attempt to recover the node and wait for it to catch up which
could be time-consuming.
Then, external tools could create replication slots (e.g., for migrations
or upgrades) that may fail to remove them if an error occurs, leaving
behind unused slots that take up space and resources. Manually cleaning
them up can be tedious and error-prone, and without intervention, these
lingering slots can cause unnecessary WAL retention and system bloat.
As the duration of idle_replication_slot_timeout is in minutes, any test
using that would be time-consuming. We are planning to commit a follow up
patch for tests by using the injection point framework.

It's been some time since we did this, partly because the upstream
snowball project hasn't formally tagged a new release since 2021.
The main motivation for doing it now is to absorb a bug fix
(their commit e322673a841d9abd69994ae8cd20e191090b6ef4), which
prevents a null pointer dereference crash if SN_create_env() gets
a malloc failure at just the wrong point. We'll patch the back
branches with only that change, but we might as well do the full
sync dance on HEAD.
Aside from a bunch of mostly-minor tweaks to existing stemmers, this
update adds a new stemmer for Estonian. It also removes the existing
stemmer for Romanian using ISO-8859-2 encoding. Upstream apparently
concluded that ISO-8859-2 doesn't provide an adequate representation
of some Romanian characters, and the UTF-8 implementation should be
used instead.
While at it, update the README's instructions for doing a sync,
which have not been adjusted during the addition of meson tooling.

The Self-Join Elimination (SJE) feature removes an inner join of a plain
table to itself in the query tree if it is proven that the join can be
replaced with a scan without impacting the query result. Self-join and
inner relation get replaced with the outer in query, equivalence classes,
and planner info structures. Also, the inner restrictlist moves to the
outer one with the removal of duplicated clauses. Thus, this optimization
reduces the length of the range table list (this especially makes sense for
partitioned relations), reduces the number of restriction clauses and,
in turn, selectivity estimations, and potentially improves total planner
prediction for the query.
This feature is dedicated to avoiding redundancy, which can appear after
pull-up transformations or the creation of an EquivalenceClass-derived clause
like the below.
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE x IN (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3);
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3 WHERE t3.x = t1.x);
SELECT * FROM t1,t2, t1 t3 WHERE t1.x = t2.x AND t2.x = t3.x;
In the future, we could also reduce redundancy caused by subquery pull-up
after unnecessary outer join removal in cases like the one below.
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE x IN
(SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.x = t1.x);
Also, it can drastically help to join partitioned tables, removing entries
even before their expansion.
The SJE proof is based on innerrel_is_unique() machinery.
We can remove a self-join when for each outer row:
1. At most, one inner row matches the join clause;
2. Each matched inner row must be (physically) the same as the outer one;
3. Inner and outer rows have the same row mark.
In this patch, we use the next approach to identify a self-join:
1. Collect all merge-joinable join quals which look like a.x = b.x;
2. Add to the list above the baseretrictinfo of the inner table;
3. Check innerrel_is_unique() for the qual list. If it returns false, skip
this pair of joining tables;
4. Check uniqueness, proved by the baserestrictinfo clauses. To prove the
possibility of self-join elimination, the inner and outer clauses must
match exactly.
The relation replacement procedure is not trivial and is partly combined
with the one used to remove useless left joins. Tests covering this feature
were added to join.sql. Some of the existing regression tests changed due
to self-join removal logic.

Aggressive vacuums must scan every unfrozen tuple in order to advance
the relfrozenxid/relminmxid. Because data is often vacuumed before it is
old enough to require freezing, relations may build up a large backlog
of pages that are set all-visible but not all-frozen in the visibility
map. When an aggressive vacuum is triggered, all of these pages must be
scanned. These pages have often been evicted from shared buffers and
even from the kernel buffer cache. Thus, aggressive vacuums often incur
large amounts of extra I/O at the expense of foreground workloads.
To amortize the cost of aggressive vacuums, eagerly scan some
all-visible but not all-frozen pages during normal vacuums.
All-visible pages that are eagerly scanned and set all-frozen in the
visibility map are counted as successful eager freezes and those not
frozen are counted as failed eager freezes.
If too many eager scans fail in a row, eager scanning is temporarily
suspended until a later portion of the relation. The number of failures
tolerated is configurable globally and per table.
To effectively amortize aggressive vacuums, we cap the number of
successes as well. Capping eager freeze successes also limits the amount
of potentially wasted work if these pages are modified again before the
next aggressive vacuum. Once we reach the maximum number of blocks
successfully eager frozen, eager scanning is disabled for the remainder
of the vacuum of the relation.

"I/O" seems more descriptive than "Asynchronous Behavior", given that some of
the GUCs in the section don't relate to anything asynchronous.
Most other abbreviations in the config sections are un-abbreviated, but
"Input/Output" seems less likely to be helpful than just IO or I/O.

Improve on e4c886519 so that the string "warn" appears in
the output when there's a problem, and not when there isn't.
This should silence noise I've been seeing in my buildfarm
warning scraper.
Try to make it absolutely plain that we don't retain the
originally specified time zone, only the UTC timestamp.
While at it, make glossary entries for "UTC" and "GMT".

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.

This didn't actually work: the COPY succeeds, but the FREEZE
optimization isn't applied. There doesn't seem to be an easy way
to support FREEZE on foreign tables, so let's follow the precedent
established by commit 5c9a5513a3 by raising an error early. This
is arguably a bug fix, but due to the lack of reports, the minimal
discussion on the mailing list, and the potential to break existing
scripts, I am not back-patching it for now.

One way autovacuum chooses tables to vacuum is by comparing the
number of updated or deleted tuples with a value calculated using
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor.
The threshold specifies the base value for comparison, and the
scale factor specifies the fraction of the table size to add to it.
This strategy ensures that smaller tables are vacuumed after fewer
updates/deletes than larger tables, which is reasonable in many
cases but can result in infrequent vacuums on very large tables.
This is undesirable for a couple of reasons, such as very large
tables incurring a huge amount of bloat between vacuums.
This new parameter provides a way to set a limit on the value
calculated with autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor so that very large tables are
vacuumed more frequently. By default, it is set to 100,000,000
tuples, but it can be disabled by setting it to -1. It can also be
adjusted for individual tables by changing storage parameters.

It is possible for the inactive_since value of an invalid replication slot
to be updated multiple times, which is unexpected behavior like during the
release of the slot or at the time of restart. This is harmless because
invalid slots are not allowed to be accessed but it is not prudent to
update invalid slots. We are planning to invalidate slots due to other
reasons like idle time and it will look odd that the slot's inactive_since
displays the recent time in this field after invalidated due to idle time.
So, this patch ensures that the inactive_since field of slots is not
updated for invalid slots.
In the passing, ensure to use the same inactive_since time for all the
slots at restart while restoring them from the disk.

This commit adds WAL IO stats to both pg_stat_io view and per-backend IO
statistics (pg_stat_get_backend_io()). This change is possible since
f92c854cf406, as WAL IO is not counted in blocks in some code paths
where its stats data is measured (like WAL read in xlogreader.c).
IOContext gains IOCONTEXT_INIT and IOObject IOOBJECT_WAL, with the
following combinations allowed:
- IOOBJECT_WAL/IOCONTEXT_NORMAL is used to track I/O operations done on
already-created WAL segments.
- IOOBJECT_WAL/IOCONTEXT_INIT is used for tracking I/O operations done
when initializing WAL segments.
The core changes are done in pg_stat_io.c, backend statistics inherit
them. Backend statistics and pg_stat_io are now available for the WAL
writer, the WAL receiver and the WAL summarizer processes.
I/O timing data is controlled by the GUC track_io_timing, like the
existing data of pg_stat_io for consistency. The timings related to
IOOBJECT_WAL show up if the GUC is enabled (disabled by default).
Bump pgstats file version, due to the additions in IOObject and
IOContext, impacting the amount of data written for the fixed-numbered
IO stats kind in the pgstats file.

For each Index AM, provide a mapping between operator strategies and
the system-wide generic concept of a comparison type. For example,
for btree, BTLessStrategyNumber maps to and from COMPARE_LT. Numerous
places in the planner and executor think directly in terms of btree
strategy numbers (and a few in terms of hash strategy numbers.) These
should be converted over subsequent commits to think in terms of
CompareType instead. (This commit doesn't make any use of this API

This commit adds four fields to the statistics of relations, aggregating
the amount of time spent for each operation on a relation:
- total_vacuum_time, for manual vacuum.
- total_autovacuum_time, for vacuum done by the autovacuum daemon.
- total_analyze_time, for manual analyze.
- total_autoanalyze_time, for analyze done by the autovacuum daemon.
This gives users the option to derive the average time spent for these
operations with the help of the related "count" fields.

The installation documentation stated that using Meson is
experimental. But since this is the only way to build using Visual
Studio on Windows, this would imply that that whole build procedure is
experimental, which isn't true. So qualify this statement a bit more.
We keep the statement that Meson is experimental on other platforms,
since it doesn't have full, confirmed feature parity with the make
build system.
