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 commit introduces changes to track unpruned relations explicitly,
making it possible for top-level plan nodes, such as ModifyTable and
LockRows, to avoid processing partitions pruned during initial
pruning. Scan-level nodes, such as Append and MergeAppend, already
avoid the unnecessary processing by accessing partition pruning
results directly via part_prune_index. In contrast, top-level nodes
cannot access pruning results directly and need to determine which
partitions remain unpruned.
To address this, this commit introduces a new bitmapset field,
es_unpruned_relids, which the executor uses to track the set of
unpruned relations. This field is referenced during plan
initialization to skip initializing certain nodes for pruned
partitions. It is initialized with PlannedStmt.unprunableRelids,
a new field that the planner populates with RT indexes of relations
that cannot be pruned during runtime pruning. These include relations
not subject to partition pruning and those required for execution
regardless of pruning.
PlannedStmt.unprunableRelids is computed during set_plan_refs() by
removing the RT indexes of runtime-prunable relations, identified
from PartitionPruneInfos, from the full set of relation RT indexes.
ExecDoInitialPruning() then updates es_unpruned_relids by adding
partitions that survive initial pruning.
To support this, PartitionedRelPruneInfo and PartitionedRelPruningData
now include a leafpart_rti_map[] array that maps partition indexes to
their corresponding RT indexes. The former is used in set_plan_refs()
when constructing unprunableRelids, while the latter is used in
ExecDoInitialPruning() to convert partition indexes returned by
get_matching_partitions() into RT indexes, which are then added to
es_unpruned_relids.
These changes make it possible for ModifyTable and LockRows nodes to
process only relations that remain unpruned after initial pruning.
ExecInitModifyTable() trims lists, such as resultRelations,
withCheckOptionLists, returningLists, and updateColnosLists, to
consider only unpruned partitions. It also creates ResultRelInfo
structs only for these partitions. Similarly, child RowMarks for
pruned relations are skipped.
By avoiding unnecessary initialization of structures for pruned
partitions, these changes improve the performance of updates and
deletes on partitioned tables during initial runtime pruning.
Due to ExecInitModifyTable() changes as described above, EXPLAIN on a
plan for UPDATE and DELETE that uses runtime initial pruning no longer
lists partitions pruned during initial pruning.

pgoutput caches the attribute map of a relation, that is free()'d only
when validating a RelationSyncEntry. However, this code path is not

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

The pgoutput module caches publication names in a list and frees it upon
invalidation. However, the code forgot to free the actual publication
names within the list elements, as publication names are pstrdup()'d in
GetPublication(). This would cause memory to leak in
CacheMemoryContext, bloating it over time as this context is not
cleaned.
This is a problem for WAL senders running for a long time, as an
accumulation of invalidation requests would bloat its cache memory
usage. A second case, where this leak is easier to see, involves a
backend calling SQL functions like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes()
which create a new decoding context with each execution. More
publications create more bloat.
To address this, this commit adds a new memory context within the
logical decoding context and resets it each time the publication names
cache is invalidated, based on a suggestion from Amit Kapila. This
ensures that the lifespan of the publication names aligns with that of
the logical decoding context.
This solution changes PGOutputData, which is fine for HEAD but it could
cause an ABI breakage in stable branches as the structure size would
change, so these are left out for now.

The column list takes precedence. If the generated columns are specified
in the column list, they will be replicated even if
'publish_generated_columns' is set to false. Conversely, if generated

The bug could result in incorrectness when a table replicated via

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

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,

Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in
multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon
logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply
worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the
commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To
improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to
be applied via parallel workers.
In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as
soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker
will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply
worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary
files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to
send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to
"partial serialize" mode - in this mode, the leader serializes all
remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to
read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking
way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel
apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the
transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at
commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading
from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker
available.
This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the
user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel
apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming
parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means
the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available.
The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled
to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour).
In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT
message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be
used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the
streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed
to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for
publications on servers < PG16.

The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old
buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were
mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in
at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a
"auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases -
unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

We previously thought that allowing such cases can confuse users when they
specify DROP TABLES IN SCHEMA but that doesn't seem to be the case based
on discussion. This helps to uplift the restriction during
ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA which used to ensure that we couldn't end up
with a publication having both a schema and the same schema's table.
To allow this, we need to forbid having any schema on a publication if
column lists on a table are specified (and vice versa). This is because
otherwise we still need a restriction during ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA to
forbid cases where it could lead to a publication having both a schema and
the same schema's table with column list.
Based on suggestions by Peter Eisentraut.

Backpatch-through: 15, where it was introduced

This may be a bit too subtle, but removing that word from there makes
this clause no longer a perfect parallel of the GRANT variant "ALL
TABLES IN SCHEMA": indeed, for publications what we record is the schema
itself, not the tables therein, which means that any tables added to the
schema in the future are also published. This is completely different
to what GRANT does, which is affect only the tables that exist when the
command is executed.
There isn't resounding support for this change, but there are a few
positive votes and no opposition. Because the time to 15 RC1 is very
short, let's get this out now.
Backpatch to 15.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the
corresponding names from function definitions in storage, catalog,
access method, executor, and logical replication code, as well as in
miscellaneous utility/library code.
Like other recent commits that cleaned up function parameter names, this
commit was written with help from clang-tidy. Later commits will do the
same for other parts of the codebase.

The standard way to check for list emptiness is to compare the
List pointer to NIL; our list code goes out of its way to ensure
that that is the only representation of an empty list. (An
acceptable alternative is a plain boolean test for non-null
pointer, but explicit mention of NIL is usually preferable.)
Various places didn't get that memo and expressed the condition
with list_length(), which might not be so bad except that there
were such a variety of ways to check it exactly: equal to zero,
less than or equal to zero, less than one, yadda yadda. In the
name of code readability, let's standardize all those spellings
as "list == NIL" or "list != NIL". (There's probably some
microscopic efficiency gain too, though few of these look to be
at all performance-critical.)
A very small number of cases were left as-is because they seemed
more consistent with other adjacent list_length tests that way.

This patch adds a new SUBSCRIPTION parameter "origin". It specifies
whether the subscription will request the publisher to only send changes
that don't have an origin or send changes regardless of origin. Setting it
to "none" means that the subscription will request the publisher to only
send changes that have no origin associated. Setting it to "any" means
that the publisher sends changes regardless of their origin. The default
is "any".
Usage:
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub1 CONNECTION 'dbname=postgres port=9999'
PUBLICATION pub1 WITH (origin = none);
This can be used to avoid loops (infinite replication of the same data)
among replication nodes.
This feature allows filtering only the replication data originating from
WAL but for initial sync (initial copy of table data) we don't have such a
facility as we can only distinguish the data based on origin from WAL. As
a follow-up patch, we are planning to forbid the initial sync if the
origin is specified as none and we notice that the publication tables were
also replicated from other publishers to avoid duplicate data or loops.
We forbid to allow creating origin with names 'none' and 'any' to avoid
confusion with the same name options.

Use it for RelationSyncEntry->streamed_txns, which is currently using an
integer list.
The API support is not complete, not because it is hard to write but
because it's unclear that it's worth the code space, there being so
little use of XID lists.
