This involves getting the character classification and case-folding
functions in the regex library to use the collations infrastructure.
Most of this work had been done already in connection with the upper/lower
and LIKE logic, so it was a simple matter of transposition.
While at it, split out these functions into a separate source file
regc_pg_locale.c, so that they can be correctly labeled with the Postgres
project's license rather than the Scriptics license. These functions are
100% Postgres-written code whereas what remains in regc_locale.c is still
mostly not ours, so lumping them both under the same copyright notice was
getting more and more misleading.
The original collation patch only fixed the multi-byte code path.
This change also ensures that ILIKE's idea of the case-folding rules
is exactly the same as str_tolower's.
The previous coding worked only if ltproc->fn_collation was always either
DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID or a C-compatible locale. While that's true at the
moment, it wasn't documented (and in fact wasn't true when this code was
committed...). But it only takes a couple more lines to make its internal
caching behavior locale-aware, so let's do that.
The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks
and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't.
Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the
"canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do
an actual assignment. And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by
Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus
log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without
restarting the server". There may be some speed advantage too, because
this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when
restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed
representation of the value instead). This patch also resolves a
longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign
hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message
about "invalid parameter value".
Also avoid hardcoding the current default state by giving it the name
"on" and replace with a meaningful name that reflects its behaviour.
Coding only, no change in behaviour.
This means one less thing to configure when setting up synchronous
replication, and also avoids some ambiguity around what the behavior
should be when the settings of these variables conflict.
Fujii Masao, with additional hacking by me.
This mostly involves making it work with the objectaddress.c framework,
which does most of the heavy lifting. In that vein, change
GetForeignDataWrapperOidByName to get_foreign_data_wrapper_oid and
GetForeignServerOidByName to get_foreign_server_oid, to match the
pattern we use for other object types.

than replication_timeout (a new GUC) milliseconds. The TCP timeout is often
too long, you want the master to notice a dead connection much sooner.
People complained about that in 9.0 too, but with synchronous replication
it's even more important to notice dead connections promptly.
Fujii Masao and Heikki Linnakangas
I'm not sure these have any non-cosmetic implications, but I'm not sure
they don't, either. In particular, ensure the CaseTestExpr generated
by transformAssignmentIndirection to represent the base target column
carries the correct collation, because parse_collate.c won't fix that.
Tweak lsyscache.c API so that we can get the appropriate collation
without an extra syscache lookup.
In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and
in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than
the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it
significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in
changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup
is both expensive and wrong.
Ensure that COLLATE at the top level of an index expression is treated the
same as a grammatically separate COLLATE. Fix bogus reverse-parsing logic
in pg_get_indexdef.
pg_newlocale_from_collation does not have enough context to give an error
message that's even a little bit useful, so move the responsibility for
complaining up to its callers. Also, reword ERRCODE_INDETERMINATE_COLLATION
error messages in a less jargony, more message-style-guide-compliant
fashion.
Opening a catcache's index could require reading from that cache's own
catalog, which of course would acquire AccessShareLock on the catalog.
So the original coding here risks locking index before heap, which could
deadlock against another backend trying to get exclusive locks in the
normal order. Because InitCatCachePhase2 is only called when a backend
has to start up without a relcache init file, the deadlock was seldom seen
in the field. (And by the same token, there's no need to worry about any
performance disadvantage; so not much point in trying to distinguish
exactly which catalogs have the risk.)
Bug report, diagnosis, and patch by Nikhil Sontakke. Additional commentary
by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.
Install just one instance of the "C" and "POSIX" collations into
pg_collation, rather than one per encoding. Make these instances exist
and do something useful even in machines without locale_t support: to wit,
it's now possible to force comparisons and case-folding functions to use C
locale in an otherwise non-C database, whether or not the platform has
support for using any additional collations.
Fix up severely broken upper/lower/initcap functions, too: the C/POSIX
fastpath now does what it is supposed to, and non-default collations are
handled correctly in single-byte database encodings.
Merge the two separate collation hashtables that were being maintained in
pg_locale.c, and be more wary of the possibility that we fail partway
through filling a cache entry.
All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless
they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean
or record). Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store
a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function.
This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs
and noncollatable output type, or vice versa.
Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with
a post-pass over the completed expression tree. This allows us to use
a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment
rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node.
Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making
collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and
by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during
expression preprocessing.
The maximum value of deadlock_timeout, max_standby_archive_delay,
max_standby_streaming_delay, log_min_duration_statement, and
log_autovacuum_min_duration was INT_MAX/1000 milliseconds, which is
about 35min, which is too short for some practical uses. Raise the
maximum value to INT_MAX; the code that uses the parameters already
supports that just fine.
While this will give wrong answers when estimating selectivity for a
comparison operator that's using a non-default collation, the estimation
error probably won't be large; and anyway the former approach created
estimation errors of its own by trying to use a histogram that might have
been computed with some other collation. So we'll adopt this simplified
approach for now and perhaps improve it sometime in the future.
This patch incorporates changes from Andres Freund to make sure that
selfuncs.c passes a valid collation OID to any datatype-specific function
it calls, in case that function wants collation information. Said OID will
now always be DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID, but at least we won't get errors.
Add dummy returns before every potential division-by-zero in int8.c,
because apparently further "improvements" in gcc's optimizer have
enabled it to break functions that weren't broken before.

CollateClause is now used only in raw grammar output, and CollateExpr after
parse analysis. This is for clarity and to avoid carrying collation names
in post-analysis parse trees: that's both wasteful and possibly misleading,
since the collation's name could be changed while the parsetree still
exists.
Also, clean up assorted infelicities and omissions in processing of the
node type.
Including collation in the behavior of that function promotes a world view
we do not want. Moreover, it was producing the wrong behavior for pg_dump
anyway: what we want is to dump a COLLATE clause on attributes whose
attcollation is different from the underlying type, and likewise for
domains, and the function cannot do that for us. Doing it the hard way
in pg_dump is a bit more tedious but produces more correct output.
In passing, fix initdb so that the initial entry in pg_collation is
properly pinned. It was droppable before :-(
SyncRepRequested() must check not only the value of the
synchronous_replication GUC but also whether max_wal_senders > 0.
Otherwise, we might end up waiting for sync rep even when there's no
possibility of a standby ever managing to connect. There are some
existing cross-checks to prevent this, but they're not quite sufficient:
the user can start the server with max_wal_senders=0,
synchronous_standby_names='', and synchronous_replication=off and then
subsequent make synchronous_standby_names not empty using pg_ctl reload,
and then SET synchronous_standby=on, leading to an indefinite hang.
Along the way, rename the global variable for the synchronous_replication
GUC to match the name of the GUC itself, for clarity.
Report by Fujii Masao, though I didn't use his patch.
The initial collations patch treated a COLLATE spec as part of a TypeName,
following what can only be described as brain fade on the part of the SQL
committee. It's a lot more reasonable to treat COLLATE as a syntactically
separate object, so that it can be added in only the productions where it
actually belongs, rather than needing to reject it in a boatload of places
where it doesn't belong (something the original patch mostly failed to do).
In addition this change lets us meet the spec's requirement to allow
COLLATE anywhere in the clauses of a ColumnDef, and it avoids unfriendly
behavior for constructs such as "foo::type COLLATE collation".
To do this, pull collation information out of TypeName and put it in
ColumnDef instead, thus reverting most of the collation-related changes in
parse_type.c's API. I made one additional structural change, which was to
use a ColumnDef as an intermediate node in AT_AlterColumnType AlterTableCmd
nodes. This provides enough room to get rid of the "transform" wart in
AlterTableCmd too, since the ColumnDef can carry the USING expression
easily enough.
Also fix some other minor bugs that have crept in in the same areas,
like failure to copy recently-added fields of ColumnDef in copyfuncs.c.
While at it, document the formerly secret ability to specify a collation
in ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN TYPE, ALTER TYPE ADD ATTRIBUTE, and
ALTER TYPE ALTER ATTRIBUTE TYPE; and correct some misstatements about
what the default collation selection will be when COLLATE is omitted.
BTW, the three-parameter form of format_type() should go away too,
since it just contributes to the confusion in this area; but I'll do
that in a separate patch.
If a standby is broadcasting reply messages and we have named
one or more standbys in synchronous_standby_names then allow
users who set synchronous_replication to wait for commit, which
then provides strict data integrity guarantees. Design avoids
sending and receiving transaction state information so minimises
bookkeeping overheads. We synchronize with the highest priority
standby that is connected and ready to synchronize. Other standbys
can be defined to takeover in case of standby failure.
This version has very strict behaviour; more relaxed options
may be added at a later date.

This works around the problem noted by Yamamoto Takashi in bug #5906,
that there were code paths whereby we could reach AtCleanup_Portals
with a portal's cleanup hook still unexecuted. The changes I made
a few days ago were intended to prevent that from happening, and
I think that on balance it's still a good thing to avoid, so I don't
want to remove the Assert in AtCleanup_Portals. Hence do this instead.
With this patch, portals, SQL functions, and SPI all agree that there
should be only a CommandCounterIncrement between the queries that are
generated from a single SQL command by rule expansion. Fetching a whole
new snapshot now happens only between original queries. This is equivalent
to the existing behavior of EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and it was judged to be the
best choice since it eliminates one source of concurrency hazards for
rules. The patch should also make things marginally faster by reducing the
number of snapshot push/pop operations.
The patch removes pg_parse_and_rewrite(), which is no longer used anywhere.
There was considerable discussion about more aggressive refactoring of the
query-processing functions exported by postgres.c, but for the moment
nothing more has been done there.
I also took the opportunity to refactor snapmgr.c's API slightly: the
former PushUpdatedSnapshot() has been split into two functions.

The originally committed patch for modifying CTEs didn't interact well
with EXPLAIN, as noted by myself, and also had corner-case problems with
triggers, as noted by Dean Rasheed. Those problems show it is really not
practical for ExecutorEnd to call any user-defined code; so split the
cleanup duties out into a new function ExecutorFinish, which must be called
between the last ExecutorRun call and ExecutorEnd. Some Asserts have been
added to these functions to help verify correct usage.
It is no longer necessary for callers of the executor to call
AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery for themselves, as this is now
done by ExecutorStart/ExecutorFinish respectively. If you really need to
suppress that and do it for yourself, pass EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS to
ExecutorStart.
Also, refactor portal commit processing to allow for the possibility that
PortalDrop will invoke user-defined code. I think this is not actually
necessary just yet, since the portal-execution-strategy logic forces any
non-pure-SELECT query to be run to completion before we will consider
committing. But it seems like good future-proofing.
This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the
semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value,
and in an unspecified order. Therefore one WITH clause can't see the
effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than
through the RETURNING values. And attempts to do conflicting updates will
have unpredictable results. We'll need to document all that.
This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on
author.

The recent additions for FDW support required checking foreign-table-ness
in several places in the parse/plan chain. While it's not clear whether
that would really result in a noticeable slowdown, it seems best to avoid
any performance risk by keeping a copy of the relation's relkind in
RangeTblEntry. That might have some other uses later, anyway.
Per discussion.
Add functions plpy.quote_ident, plpy.quote_literal,
plpy.quote_nullable, which wrap the equivalent SQL functions.
To be able to propagate char * constness properly, make the argument
of quote_literal_cstr() const char *. This also makes it more
consistent with quote_identifier().

void_send is useful for the same reason that void_out doesn't throw error,
namely that someone might do "select void_returning_func(...)" from a
client that prefers to operate in binary mode. The void_recv function may
or may not have any practical use, but we provide it for symmetry.
Radosław Smogura
File encodings can be specified separately from client encoding.
If not specified, client encoding is used for backward compatibility.
Cases when the encoding doesn't match client encoding are slower
than matched cases because we don't have conversion procs for other
encodings. Performance improvement would be be a future work.

Add a fdwhandler column to pg_foreign_data_wrapper, plus HANDLER options
in the CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER and ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER commands,
plus pg_dump support for same. Also invent a new pseudotype fdw_handler
with properties similar to language_handler.
This is split out of the "FDW API" patch for ease of review; it's all stuff
we will certainly need, regardless of any other details of the FDW API.

They share the same locking namespace with the existing session-level

That function was supposing that indexoid == 0 for a hypothetical index,
but that is not likely to be true in any non-toy implementation of an index
adviser, since assigning a fake OID is the only way to know at EXPLAIN time
which hypothetical index got selected. Fix by adding a flag to
IndexOptInfo to mark hypothetical indexes. Back-patch to 9.0 where
get_actual_variable_range() was added.

These are needed to support reloading dumps of 9.0 installations containing
contrib/intarray or contrib/tsearch2. Since not only regular dump/reload
but binary upgrade would fail, it seems worth the trouble to carry these
stubs for awhile. Note that the contrib opclasses referencing these
functions will still work fine, since GIN doesn't actually pay any
attention to the declared signature of a support function.
