This allows a RETURNING clause to be appended to a MERGE query, to
return values based on each row inserted, updated, or deleted. As with
plain INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands, the returned values are
based on the new contents of the target table for INSERT and UPDATE
actions, and on its old contents for DELETE actions. Values from the
source relation may also be returned.
As with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, the output of MERGE ... RETURNING may be
used as the source relation for other operations such as WITH queries
and COPY commands.
Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which
returns 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', or 'DELETE', depending on the action
executed for each row. The merge_action() function can be used
anywhere in the RETURNING list, including in arbitrary expressions and
subqueries, but it is an error to use it anywhere outside of a MERGE
query's RETURNING list.

Given a subplan in a MERGE query, EXPLAIN would sometimes fail to
properly display expressions involving Params referencing variables in
other parts of the plan tree.
This would affect subplans outside the topmost join plan node, for
which expansion of Params would go via the top-level ModifyTable plan
node. The problem was that "inner_tlist" for the ModifyTable node's
deparse_namespace was set to the join node's targetlist, but
"inner_plan" was set to the ModifyTable node itself, rather than the
join node, leading to incorrect results when descending to the
referenced variable.
Fix and backpatch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any
external dependency.
Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C",
which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc
provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that
uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the
new builtin provider uses the same implementation.
The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment
variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the
database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are
set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider.
By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of
a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes
it easier to document the behavior.

pg_constraint.conwithoutoverlaps was recently added to support primary
keys and unique constraints with the WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause. An
upcoming patch provides the foreign-key side of this functionality,
but the syntax there is different and uses the keyword PERIOD. It
would make sense to use the same pg_constraint field for both of
these, but then we should pick a more general name that conveys "this
constraint has a temporal/period-related feature". conperiod works
for that and is nicely compact. Changing this now avoids possibly
having to introduce versioning into clients. Note there are still
some "without overlaps" variables left, which deal specifically with
the parsing of the primary key/unique constraint feature.

While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its
main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more

- IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global

those includes are being kept manually.
- All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to

Now that BackendId was just another index into the proc array, it was
redundant with the 0-based proc numbers used in other places. Replace
all usage of backend IDs with proc numbers.
The only place where the term "backend id" remains is in a few pgstat
functions that expose backend IDs at the SQL level. Those IDs are now
in fact 0-based ProcNumbers too, but the documentation still calls
them "backend ids". That term still seems appropriate to describe what
the numbers are, so I let it be.
One user-visible effect is that pg_temp_0 is now a valid temp schema
name, for backend with ProcNumber 0.

Previously, backend ID was an index into the ProcState array, in the
shared cache invalidation manager (sinvaladt.c). The entry in the
ProcState array was reserved at backend startup by scanning the array
for a free entry, and that was also when the backend got its backend
ID. Things become slightly simpler if we redefine backend ID to be the
index into the PGPROC array, and directly use it also as an index to
the ProcState array. This uses a little more memory, as we reserve a
few extra slots in the ProcState array for aux processes that don't
need them, but the simplicity is worth it.
Aux processes now also have a backend ID. This simplifies the
reservation of BackendStatusArray and ProcSignal slots.
You can now convert a backend ID into an index into the PGPROC array
simply by subtracting 1. We still use 0-based "pgprocnos" in various
places, for indexes into the PGPROC array, but the only difference now
is that backend IDs start at 1 while pgprocnos start at 0. (The next
commmit will get rid of the term "backend ID" altogether and make
everything 0-based.)
There is still a 'backendId' field in PGPROC, now part of 'vxid' which
encapsulates the backend ID and local transaction ID together. It's
needed for prepared xacts. For regular backends, the backendId is
always equal to pgprocno + 1, but for prepared xact PGPROC entries,
it's the ID of the original backend that processed the transaction.

Timezones are not immutable and so neither is any function that relies on
them. In commit 66ea94e8, we introduced a few methods which do casting
from one time to another and thus may involve the current timezone. To
preserve the immutability of jsonpath functions currently marked
immutable, disallow these methods from being called from non-TZ aware
functions.
Jeevan Chalke, per a report from Jian He.
Since its introduction, pg_get_expr() has intended to silently
return NULL if called with an invalid relation OID, as can happen
when scanning the catalogs concurrently with relation drops.
However, there is a race condition: we check validity of the OID
at the start, but it could get dropped just afterward, leading to
failures. This is the cause of some intermittent instability we're
seeing in a proposed new test case, and presumably it's a hazard in
the field as well.
We can fix this by AccessShareLock-ing the target relation for the
duration of pg_get_expr(). Since we don't require any permissions
on the target relation, this is semantically a bit undesirable. But
it turns out that the set_relation_column_names() subroutine already
takes a transient AccessShareLock on that relation, and has done since
commit 2ffa740be in 2012. Given the lack of complaints about that, it
seems like there should be no harm in holding the lock a bit longer.

We perform addition of the days field of an interval via
arithmetic on the Julian-date representation of the timestamp's date.
This step is subject to int32 overflow, and we also should not let
the Julian date become very negative, for fear of weird results from
j2date. (In the timestamptz case, allow a Julian date of -1 to pass,
since it might convert back to zero after timezone rotation.)
The additions of the months and microseconds fields could also
overflow, of course. However, I believe we need no additional
checks there; the existing range checks should catch such cases.
The difficulty here is that j2date's magic modular arithmetic could
produce something that looks like it's in-range.

Formerly, these were only supported in to_char(), but there seems
little reason for that restriction. We should at least have enough
support to permit round-tripping the output of to_char().
In that spirit, TZ accepts either zone abbreviations or numeric
(HH or HH:MM) offsets, which are the cases that to_char() can output.
In an ideal world we'd make it take full zone names too, but
that seems like it'd introduce an unreasonable amount of ambiguity,
since the rules for POSIX-spec zone names are so lax.
OF is a subset of this, accepting only HH or HH:MM.
One small benefit of this improvement is that we can simplify
jsonpath's executeDateTimeMethod function, which no longer needs
to consider the HH and HH:MM cases separately. Moreover, letting
it accept zone abbreviations means it will accept "Z" to mean UTC,
which is emitted by JSON.stringify() for example.

This commit implements ithe jsonpath .bigint(), .boolean(),
.date(), .decimal([precision [, scale]]), .integer(), .number(),
.string(), .time(), .time_tz(), .timestamp(), and .timestamp_tz()
methods.
.bigint() converts the given JSON string or a numeric value to
the bigint type representation.
.boolean() converts the given JSON string, numeric, or boolean
value to the boolean type representation. In the numeric case, only
integers are allowed. We use the parse_bool() backend function
to convert a string to a bool.
.decimal([precision [, scale]]) converts the given JSON string
or a numeric value to the numeric type representation. If precision
and scale are provided for .decimal(), then it is converted to the
equivalent numeric typmod and applied to the numeric number.
.integer() and .number() convert the given JSON string or a
numeric value to the int4 and numeric type representation.
.string() uses the datatype's output function to convert numeric
and various date/time types to the string representation.
The JSON string representing a valid date/time is converted to the
specific date or time type representation using jsonpath .date(),
.time(), .time_tz(), .timestamp(), .timestamp_tz() methods. The
changes use the infrastructure of the .datetime() method and perform
the datatype conversion as appropriate. Unlike the .datetime()
method, none of these methods accept a format template and use ISO
DateTime format instead. However, except for .date(), the
date/time related methods take an optional precision to adjust the
fractional seconds.

This adds a Node *escontext parameter to it and a bunch of functions
downstream to it, replacing any ereport()s in that path by either
errsave() or ereturn() as appropriate. This also adds code to those
functions where necessary to return early upon encountering a soft
error.
The changes here are mainly intended to suppress errors in the
functions of jsonfuncs.c. Functions in any external modules, such as
arrayfuncs.c, that those functions may in turn call are not changed
here based on the assumption that the various checks in jsonfuncs.c
functions should ensure that only values that are structurally valid
get passed to the functions in those external modules. An exception
is made for domain_check() to allow handling domain constraint
violation errors softly.
For testing, this adds a function jsonb_populate_record_valid(),
which returns true if jsonb_populate_record() would finish without
causing an error for the provided JSON object, false otherwise. Note
that jsonb_populate_record() internally calls populate_record(),
which in turn uses populate_record_field().

Not as critical as other cases we've handled, but I figure if we're

Since commit 599b33b94, this function assumed that every RTE_RELATION

we only build RelOptInfos for relations that are scanned by the query.
In particular the target of an INSERT won't have one, so that Vars

RelOptInfo. This apparently wasn't a problem before commit f7816aec2
taught examine_simple_variable() to drill down into CTEs containing

either.)

If we have DECHIST statistics about the argument expression, use
the average number of distinct elements as the array length estimate.
(It'd be better to use the average total number of elements, but
that is not currently calculated by compute_array_stats(), and
it's unclear that it'd be worth extra effort to get.)
To do this, we have to change the signature of estimate_array_length
