Subscription objects are conceptually database-local objects, but
pg_subscription is a shared catalog so that the launcher process can
scan it.
Check readers of pg_subscription to ensure that, unless it's the
launcher process, it filters by MyDatabaseId. Most readers were
already doing so, but this commit fixes REASSIGN OWNED and adds guards
to catch other problems in the future. Also, clarify documentation.

This reverts commit ef38a4d975 which
implemented the GROUP BY ALL syntax, as well as 2ce745836 which
made some comment improvements therein.
A postcommit review discovered that GROUP BY ALL missed our special
handling of entries that also appear in an ORDER BY in the query.
This caused the query to return wrong results when ORDER BY
specifies non-default equality semantics. While this should be
fixable with some refactoring, doing it cleanly seems like too
much code churn for late beta. We'll revert and try again in v20.
The reverted commit also included some additional comment wordsmithing
and docs cleanup, which are retained as they weren't connected to the
reverted feature.
catversion bump needed due to change in struct Query.

The previous text claimed that once the slot is disassociated with
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET (slot_name = NONE), DROP SUBSCRIPTION "will no
longer attempt any actions on a remote host". That is inaccurate:
DROP SUBSCRIPTION may still connect to the publisher to drop
internally-created table synchronization slots when some table
synchronization is left unfinished. Reword to describe this, and note
that if the publisher is unreachable those slots (and the main slot, if
it still exists) must be dropped manually to avoid indefinitely reserving
WAL.

uuidv7(interval) shifts the current time by the given interval before
encoding it into the 48-bit Unix-millisecond timestamp field of the
generated UUID. Two cases were mishandled:
An infinite interval ('infinity' or '-infinity') produced an infinite
timestamp, which overflowed during the conversion to Unix-epoch
microseconds and yielded a garbage UUID. Reject infinite intervals up
front, before any timestamp arithmetic.
A shift that moved the timestamp outside the range representable by
the 48-bit field was silently accepted. Timestamps before the Unix
epoch wrapped when cast to unsigned, and timestamps beyond
approximately year 10889 overflowed the field; both produced UUIDs
with bogus timestamps that break sort ordering. Reject any shifted
timestamp outside the supported range.
Also document that infinite intervals and out-of-range shifts are
rejected.
Although raising a new error changes behavior in a stable branch, this
is back-patched to 18 (where uuidv7(interval) was introduced) because
the previous behavior can silently corrupt data. Failing loudly is far
safer than silently accepting the wraparound; otherwise users may not
discover that their UUIDv7 values are no longer sortable until years
later, when recovery is painful. It also matches how PostgreSQL
already handles timestamp + interval overflow, which raises an
error. The change only affects applications passing an interval large
enough to push the result outside the representable range.
Backpatch to 18, where uuidv7(interval) was introduced.

pg_stat_progress_data_checksums uses -1 as a sentinel value that is
displayed as NULL for progress counters. However, after
pgstat_progress_start_command() initialized all progress counters to
zero, data checksum progress did not reset those counters to -1.
As a result, some counters could incorrectly appear as zero instead
of NULL. For example, workers could report zero database counters,
and the disabling launcher could report zero relation and block counters.
Also, blocks_done was not reset when a worker started processing
a new relation fork. As a result, it could temporarily exceed blocks_total
or report a stale value for an empty relation fork.
Fix this by initializing the data checksum progress counters to -1
when progress reporting starts for both launcher and worker processes.
Also reset blocks_done together with blocks_total when starting each
relation fork.

Previously, this function imported remote statistics by executing SQL
functions like pg_restore_relation_stats and pg_restore_attribute_stats
via SPI (in read-write mode). As the SQL functions take a schema name
and a relation name as two separate arguments, rather than a single OID
argument, if the containing schema was concurrently renamed, the
callback function would throw an error like this:
ERROR: schema "foo" does not exist
To fix, 1) provide new interface functions to import remote statistics
that are directly callable from FDWs and take a single OID, and 2)
modify the callback function to use the interface functions instead when
importing remote statistics.
For #1, this commit does a bit of refactoring to
relation_statistics_update and attribute_statistics_update, which are
the workhorse functions for pg_restore_relation_stats and
pg_restore_attribute_stats respectively: since they also take a schema
name and a relation name, separate the guts of them into new functions
so that they take a single OID and are callable not only from the
workhorse functions but from the interface functions introduced by #1.

Subscriber-side warnings suggest granting UPDATE to the subscription
owner when run_as_owner is enabled. Otherwise, the worker runs as the

The documentation previously said that pg_get_sequence_data() returns

A nonexistent relation name is rejected during regclass input conversion,
while the function returns NULLs for a nonexistent relation OID and
several other cases.
This commit clarifies that the function returns NULLs when the specified
relation OID does not exist, the relation is not a sequence, the current
user lacks SELECT privilege on the sequence, the sequence belongs to
another session's temporary schema, or it is an unlogged sequence on
a standby server.

Previously, MultiXactId wraparound hints suggested dropping stale

wraparound, where replication slots can hold back XID horizons,
it was misleading for MultiXactId wraparound. Following it could lead

MultiXact cleanup is not directly delayed by replication slots.
Instead, it depends on whether old MultiXactIds can still be seen

createPartitionTable() passed the partitioned parent's reltablespace straight
to heap_create_with_catalog(), bypassing the default_tablespace GUC fallback
that DefineRelation() applies for CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF. When the
parent had no explicit tablespace (reltablespace = 0), the new partition
unconditionally landed in the database default, even if default_tablespace
was set to something else; merging or splitting a set of partitions that all
lived in a non-default tablespace produced a new partition in the database
default.
Mirror DefineRelation()'s logic: take parent's reltablespace if set,
otherwise check GetDefaultTablespace() (which reads default_tablespace
and normalises pg_default / MyDatabaseTableSpace to InvalidOid). Also
add the CREATE ACL check on the resolved tablespace and the pg_global
rejection, matching DefineRelation()'s behavior.

The final parameter of an ordinary variadic function should be an
array type. CREATE FUNCTION won't accept a declaration that isn't
like that, but it's possible to put an incorrect combination into a
pg_proc.dat entry. Sadly, the opr_sanity test that was supposed to
check that is broken and does not report functions with non-array
final parameters. This allowed exactly such a thinko to sneak into
the recently-added pg_get_*_ddl() functions: their last argument
should be declared text[] but was declared text. (We'd probably
have noticed eventually, when somebody tried to actually pass a
variadic array to one of those functions. But their regression
tests do not do that.)
