Even if we don't emit definitions for SH_ALLOCATE and SH_FREE, we
still need prototypes. The user can't define them before including
simplehash.h because SH_TYPE isn't available yet.
For the allocator to be able to access private_data, it needs to
become an argument to SH_CREATE. Previously we relied on callers
to set that after returning from SH_CREATE, but SH_CREATE calls
SH_ALLOCATE before returning.

It did that to verify that the page was an overflow page rather than
anything else, but that means that checking the status of all the
overflow bits requires reading the entire index. So don't do that.
The new code validates that the page is not a primary bucket page
or bitmap page by looking at the metapage, so that using this on
large numbers of pages can be reasonably efficient.

modifications by me.
It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive
amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque
field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility
exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls.
This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it
to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call.
(The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache,
so there's little to improve there.)
For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows
can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two.
In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime
for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated
catalog lookups are vastly more expensive.
The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is
not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to
do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert.
That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already
within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert
as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

When converting a float value to integer microseconds, we should be careful
to round the value to the nearest integer, typically with rint(); simply
assigning to an int64 variable will truncate, causing apparently off-by-one
values in cases that should work. Most places in the datetime code got
this right, but not these two.
float8_timestamptz() is new as of commit e511d878f (9.6). Previous
versions effectively depended on interval_mul() to do roundoff correctly,
which it does, so this fixes an accuracy regression in 9.6.
The problem in make_interval() dates to its introduction in 9.4. Aside
from being careful to round not truncate, let's incorporate the hours and
minutes inputs into the result with exact integer arithmetic, rather than
risk introducing roundoff error where there need not have been any.
float8_timestamptz() problem reported by Erik Nordström, though this is
not his proposed patch. make_interval() problem found by me.

it triggers recording of additional full-page images, which are
compared on the standby against the results of applying the WAL record

any difference results in a FATAL error on the standby.

In the large DO block, collect row TIDs into array variables instead of
creating and dropping a pile of temporary tables. In a normal build,
this reduces the brin test script's runtime from about 1.1 sec to 0.4 sec
on my workstation. That's not all that exciting perhaps, but in a
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS test build, the runtime drops from 20 min to 17 min,
which is a little more useful. In combination with some other changes
I plan to propose, this will help provide a noticeable reduction in
cycle time for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS buildfarm critters.
This is infrastructure for a pending patch to allow parallel bitmap

Dilip Kumar, reviewed (in earlier versions) by Andres Freund and
(more recently) by me. Some further renaming by me, also.
This avoids a very significant amount of buffer manager traffic and
contention when scanning hash indexes, because it's no longer
necessary to lock and pin the metapage for every scan. We do need
some way of figuring out when the cache is too stale to use any more,
so that when we lock the primary bucket page to which the cached
metapage points us, we can tell whether a split has occurred since we
cached the metapage data. To do that, we use the hash_prevblkno field
in the primary bucket page, which would otherwise always be set to
InvalidBuffer.
This patch contains code so that it will continue working (although
less efficiently) with hash indexes built before this change, but
perhaps we should consider bumping the hash version and ripping out
the compatibility code. That decision can be made later, though.

Before, reading pg_sequences.last_value would fail unless the user had

The problem with the original coding here is that we might receive (and
clear) a relcache invalidation signal for the target relation down inside
one of the index_open calls we're doing. Since the target is open, we
would not drop the relcache entry, just reset its rd_indexvalid and
rd_indexlist fields. But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() kept going, and
would eventually cache and return potentially-obsolete attribute bitmaps.
The case where this matters is where the inval signal was from a CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY telling us about a new index on a formerly-unindexed
column. (In all other cases, the lock we hold on the target rel should
prevent any concurrent change in index state.) Even just returning the
stale attribute bitmap is not such a problem, because it shouldn't matter
during the transaction in which we receive the signal. What hurts is
caching the stale data, because it can survive into later transactions,
breaking CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY's expectation that later transactions
will not create new broken HOT chains. The upshot is that there's a window
for building corrupted indexes during CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
This patch fixes the problem by rechecking that the set of index OIDs
is still the same at the end of RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() as it was
at the start. If not, we loop back and try again. That's a little
more than is strictly necessary to fix the bug --- in principle, we
could return the stale data but not cache it --- but it seems like a
bad idea on general principles for relcache to return data it knows
is stale.
There might be more hazards of the same ilk, or there might be a better
way to fix this one, but this patch definitely improves matters and seems
unlikely to make anything worse. So let's push it into today's releases
even as we continue to study the problem.

Commit 665d1fad9 introduced rd_pkindex, and made RelationGetIndexList
responsible for updating it, but didn't bother to fix
RelationGetIndexList's header comment to say so.
Modify FETCH_COUNT to always have a defined value, like other control
variables, mainly so it will always appear in "\set" output.
Add hooks to force HISTSIZE to be defined and require it to have an
integer value. (I don't see any point in allowing it to be set to
non-integral values.)
Add hooks to force IGNOREEOF to be defined and require it to have an
integer value. Unlike the other cases, here we're trying to be
bug-compatible with a rather bogus externally-defined behavior, so I think
we need to continue to allow "\set IGNOREEOF whatever". Fix it so that
the substitution hook silently replace non-numeric values with "10",
so that the stored value always reflects what we're really doing.
Add a dummy assign hook for HISTFILE, just so it's always in
variables.c's list. We can't require it to be defined always, because
that would break the interaction with the PSQL_HISTORY environment
variable, so there isn't any change in visible behavior here.
Remove tab-complete.c's private list of known variable names, since that's
really a maintenance nuisance. Given the preceding changes, there are no
control variables it won't show anyway. This does mean that if for some
reason you've unset one of the status variables (DBNAME, HOST, etc), that
variable would not appear in tab completion for \set. But I think that's
fine, for at least two reasons: we shouldn't be encouraging people to use
those variables as regular variables, and if someone does do so anyway,
why shouldn't it act just like a regular variable?
Remove ugly and no-longer-used-anywhere GetVariableNum(). In general,
future additions of integer-valued control variables should follow the
paradigm of adding an assign hook using ParseVariableNum(), so there's
no reason to expect we'd need this again later.

Coverity complained that we might pass a null pointer to strcmp()
if PQresultErrorField were to return NULL. That shouldn't be possible,
since the server is supposed to always provide some SQLSTATE or other
in an error message. But we usually defend against such hazards, and
it only takes a little more code to do so here.
There's no good reason to think this is a live bug, so no back-patch.
If we forcibly place a Material node atop a finished subplan, we need
to move any initPlans attached to the subplan up to the Material node,
in order to keep SS_finalize_plan() happy. I'd figured this out in
commit 7b67a0a49 for the case of materializing a cursor plan, but out of
an abundance of caution, I put the initPlan movement hack at the call
site for that case, rather than inside materialize_finished_plan().
That was the wrong thing, because it turns out to also be necessary for
the only other caller of materialize_finished_plan(), ie subselect.c.
We lacked any test cases that exposed the mistake, but bug#14524 from
Wei Congrui shows that it's possible to get an initPlan reference into
the top tlist in that case too, and then SS_finalize_plan() complains.
Hence, move the hack into materialize_finished_plan().
In HEAD, also relocate some recently-added tests in subselect.sql, which
I'd unthinkingly dropped into the middle of a sequence of related tests.

Given a targetlist like "srf(x), f(srf(x))", split_pathtarget_at_srfs()
decided that it needed two levels of ProjectSet nodes, failing to notice
that the two SRF calls are textually equal(). Because of that, setrefs.c
would convert the upper ProjectSet's tlist to "Var1, f(Var1)" (where Var1
represents a reference to the srf(x) output of the lower ProjectSet).
This triggered an assertion in nodeProjectSet.c complaining that it found
no SRFs to evaluate, as reported by Erik Rijkers.
What we want in such a case is to evaluate srf(x) only once and use a plain
Result node to compute "Var1, f(Var1)"; that gives results similar to what
previous versions produced, whereas allowing srf(x) to be evaluated again
in an upper ProjectSet would square the number of rows emitted.
Furthermore, even if the SRF calls aren't textually identical, we want them
to be evaluated in lockstep, because that's what happened in the old
implementation. But split_pathtarget_at_srfs() got this completely wrong,
using two levels of ProjectSet for a case like "srf(x), f(srf(y))".
Hence, rewrite split_pathtarget_at_srfs() from the ground up so that it
groups SRFs according to the depth of nesting of SRFs in their arguments.
This is pretty much how we envisioned that working originally, but I blew
it when it came to implementation.
In passing, optimize the case of target == input_target, which I noticed
is not only possible but quite common.

Add CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo to let
callers use the CatalogTupleXXX abstraction layer even in cases where
we want to share the results of CatalogOpenIndexes across multiple
inserts/updates for efficiency. This finishes the job begun in commit
2f5c9d9c9, by allowing some remaining simple_heap_insert/update
calls to be replaced. The abstraction layer is now complete enough
that we don't have to export CatalogIndexInsert at all anymore.
Also, this fixes several places in which 2f5c9d9c9 introduced performance
regressions by using retail CatalogTupleInsert or CatalogTupleUpdate even
though the previous coding had been able to amortize CatalogOpenIndexes
work across multiple tuples.
A possible future improvement is to arrange for the indexing.c functions
to cache the CatalogIndexState somewhere, maybe in the relcache, in which
case we could get rid of CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and
CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo again. But that's a task for another day.

This extends the work done in commit 2f5c9d9c9 to provide a more nearly
complete abstraction layer hiding the details of index updating for catalog
changes. That commit only invented abstractions for catalog inserts and
updates, leaving nearby code for catalog deletes still calling the
heap-level routines directly. That seems rather ugly from here, and it
does little to help if we ever want to shift to a storage system in which
indexing work is needed at delete time.
Hence, create a wrapper function CatalogTupleDelete(), and replace calls
of simple_heap_delete() on catalog tuples with it. There are now very
few direct calls of [simple_]heap_delete remaining in the tree.

"\set" with no arguments displays all defined variables, but it does so
in the order that they appear in variables.c's list, which previously
was mostly creation order. That makes the list ugly and hard to find
things in, and it exposes some psql implementation details to users.
(For instance, ordinary variables will move to the bottom of the list
if unset and set again, but variables that have hooks won't.)
Fix that by keeping the list in alphabetical order at all times, which
isn't much more complicated than breaking out of the insertion search
loops once we reach an entry that should be after the one to be inserted.

This commit improves on the results of commit 511ae628f in two ways:
1. It restores the historical behavior that "\set FOO" is interpreted
as setting FOO to "on", if FOO is a boolean control variable. We
already found one test script that was expecting that behavior, and
the psql documentation certainly does nothing to discourage people
from assuming that would work, since it often says just "if FOO is set"
when describing the effects of a boolean variable. However, now this
case will result in actually setting FOO to "on", not an empty string.
2. It arranges for an "\unset" of a control variable to set the value
back to its default value, rather than becoming apparently undefined.
The control variables are also initialized that way at psql startup.
In combination, these things guarantee that a control variable always
has a displayable value that reflects what psql is actually doing.
That is a pretty substantial usability improvement.
The implementation involves adding a second type of variable hook function
that is able to replace a proposed new value (including NULL) with another
one. We could alternatively have complicated the API of the assign hook,
but this way seems better since many variables can share the same
substitution hook function.
Also document the actual behavior of these variables more fully,
including covering assorted behaviors that were there before but
never documented.
This patch also includes some minor cleanup that should have been in
511ae628f but was missed.
Patch by me, but it owes a lot to discussions with Daniel Vérité.

The rule is that if pg_authid.rolpassword begins with "md5" and has the
right length, it's an MD5 hash, otherwise it's a plaintext password. The
idiom has been to use isMD5() to check for that, but that gets awkward,
when we add new kinds of verifiers, like the verifiers for SCRAM
authentication in the pending SCRAM patch set. Replace isMD5() with a new
get_password_type() function, so that when new verifier types are added, we
don't need to remember to modify every place that currently calls isMD5(),
to also recognize the new kinds of verifiers.
Also, use the new plain_crypt_verify function in passwordcheck, so that it
doesn't need to know about MD5, or in the future, about other kinds of
hashes or password verifiers.

referent of this comment slightly less clear, so move the comment
to compensate.
Amit Kapila (as part of the parallel index scan patch)
Split the existing CatalogUpdateIndexes into two different routines,
CatalogTupleInsert and CatalogTupleUpdate, which do both the heap
insert/update plus the index update. This removes over 300 lines of
boilerplate code all over src/backend/catalog/ and src/backend/commands.
The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye.
Also, by encapsulating what happens in detail during an UPDATE, this
facilitates the upcoming WARM patch, which is going to add a few more
lines to the update case making the boilerplate even more boring.
The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use
left, and since it's just three lines, we can as well expand it in place
there. We could keep it, but WARM is going to break all the UPDATE
out-of-core callsites anyway, so there seems to be no benefit in doing
so.

In commit 23f34fa, we changed how ACLs were handled to use the new
pg_init_privs catalog and to dump out the ACL commands as REVOKE+GRANT
combinations instead of trying to REVOKE all rights always and then
GRANT back just the ones which were in place.
Unfortunately, the DEFAULT PRIVILEGES system didn't quite get the
correct treatment with this change and ended up (incorrectly) only
including positive GRANTs instead of both the REVOKEs and GRANTs
necessary to preserve the correct privileges.
There are only a couple cases where such REVOKEs are possible because,
generally speaking, there's few rights which exist on objects by
default to be revoked.
Examples of REVOKEs which weren't being correctly preserved are when
privileges are REVOKE'd from the creator/owner, like so:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
FOR ROLE myrole
REVOKE SELECT ON TABLES FROM myrole;
or when other default privileges are being revoked, such as EXECUTE
rights granted to public for functions:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
FOR ROLE myrole
REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS FROM PUBLIC;
Fix this by correctly working out what the correct REVOKE statements are
(if any) and dump them out, just as we do for everything else.
Noticed while developing additional regression tests for pg_dump, which
will be landing shortly.
Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.
The pg_dump TAP tests have gotten pretty far from what perltidy thinks
they should be, so fix that, and in passing use long-form argument names
with arguments passed via "=" in a similar vein to 58da833.
No functional changes here, just whitespace and changing runs from
"-f" to "--file=", and similar.
As pointed out by Alvaro, we actually use perltidy on the perl scripts
in the source tree, so go back to the results of a perltidy run for the
test_pg_dump TAP script.
To make it look slightly less tragic, I changed most of the independent
arguments into long-form single arguments (eg: -f file.sql changed to be
--file=file.sql) to avoid having them confusingly split across lines due
to perltidy.
Back-patch to 9.6, as the last patch was.
next_token() oddly set its buffer space consumption limit to one before
the last char position in the buffer, not the last as you'd expect.
The reason is there was once an ugly kluge to mark keywords by appending
a newline to them, potentially requiring one more byte. Commit e5e2fc842
removed that kluge, but failed to notice that the length limit could be
increased.
Also, remove some vestigial handling of newline characters in the buffer.
That was left over from when this function read the file directly using
getc(). Commit 7f49a67f9 changed it to read from a buffer, from which
tokenize_file had already removed the only possible occurrence of newline,
but did not simplify this function in consequence.
Also, ensure that we don't return with *lineptr set to someplace past the
terminating '\0'; that would be catastrophic if a caller were to ask for
another token from the same line. This is just latent since no callers
actually do call again after a "false" return; but considering that it was
actually costing us extra code to do it wrong, we might as well make it
bulletproof.
Noted while reviewing pg_hba_file_rules patch.
This view is designed along the same lines as pg_file_settings, to wit
it shows what is currently in the file, not what the postmaster has
loaded as the active settings. That allows it to be used to pre-vet
edits before issuing SIGHUP. As with the earlier view, go out of our
way to allow errors in the file to be reflected in the view, to assist
that use-case.

but this is not that patch; and it's not trivial to do.)

Quite a few of our built-in system views were not exercised anywhere
in the regression tests. This is perhaps not so exciting for the ones
that are simple projections/joins of system catalogs, but for the ones
that are wrappers for set-returning C functions, the omission translates
directly to lack of test coverage for those functions.
In many cases, the reason for the omission is that the view doesn't have
much to do with any specific SQL feature, so there's no natural place to
test it. To remedy that, invent a new script sysviews.sql that's dedicated
to testing SRF-based views. Move a couple of tests that did fit this
charter into the new script, and add simple "count(*)" based tests of
other views within the charter. That's enough to ensure we at least
exercise the main code path through the SRF, although it does little to
prove that the output is sane.
More could be done here, no doubt, and I hope someone will think about
how we can test these views more thoroughly. But this is a starting
point.

Previously, if the user set a special variable such as ECHO to an
unrecognized value, psql would bleat but store the new value anyway, and
then fall back to a default setting for the behavior controlled by the
variable. This was agreed to be a not particularly good idea. With
this patch, invalid values result in an error message and no change in
state.
(But this applies only to variables that affect psql's behavior; purely
informational variables such as ENCODING can still be set to random
values.)
To do this, modify the API for psql's assign-hook functions so that they
can return an OK/not OK result, and give them the responsibility for
printing error messages when they reject a value. Adjust the APIs for
ParseVariableBool and ParseVariableNum to support the new behavior
conveniently.
In passing, document the variable VERSION, which had somehow escaped that.
And improve the quite-inadequate commenting in psql/variables.c.
