This enhancement builds upon the infrastructure introduced in commit
228c370868, which enables the preservation of deleted tuples and their
origin information on the subscriber. This capability is crucial for
handling concurrent transactions replicated from remote nodes.
The update introduces support for detecting update_deleted conflicts
during the application of update operations on the subscriber. When an
update operation fails to locate the target row-typically because it has
been concurrently deleted-we perform an additional table scan. This scan
uses the SnapshotAny mechanism and we do this additional scan only when
the retain_dead_tuples option is enabled for the relevant subscription.
The goal of this scan is to locate the most recently deleted tuple-matching
the old column values from the remote update-that has not yet been removed
by VACUUM and is still visible according to our slot (i.e., its deletion
is not older than conflict-detection-slot's xmin). If such a tuple is
found, the system reports an update_deleted conflict, including the origin
and transaction details responsible for the deletion.
This provides a groundwork for more robust and accurate conflict
resolution process, preventing unexpected behavior by correctly
identifying cases where a remote update clashes with a deletion from
another origin.

pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
tgname), before dependency-driven reordering. That removes one source
of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
In other words, it helps with schema diffing. The logical name sort
ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
and operator families. pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
yielding spurious schema diffs. After this change, OIDs affect dump
order only in the event of catalog corruption. While pg_dump also
wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
coverage. Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
for the long term.
The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
172259afb5 added a schema diff test
sensitive to it. Buildfarm member hippopotamus witnessed that.
However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and this might avoid
other dump comparison failures. Hence, back-patch to v13 (all supported
versions).

This commit changes stats kinds to have the following bounds, making
their handling in core cheaper by default:
- PGSTAT_KIND_CUSTOM_MIN 128 -> 24
- PGSTAT_KIND_MAX 256 -> 32
The original numbers were rather high, and showed an impact on
performance in pgstat_report_stat() for the case of simple queries with
its early-exit path if there are no pending statistics to flush. This
logic will be improved more in a follow-up commit to bring the
performance of pgstat_report_stat() on par with v17 and older versions.
Lowering the bounds is a change worth doing on its own, independently of
the other improvement.
These new numbers should be enough to leave some room for the following
years for built-in and custom stats kinds, with stable ID numbers. At
least that should be enough to start with this facility for extension
developers. It can be always increased in the tree depending on the
requirements wanted.

Logical replication requires reliable conflict detection to maintain data
consistency across nodes. To achieve this, we must prevent premature
removal of tuples deleted by other origins and their associated commit_ts
data by VACUUM, which could otherwise lead to incorrect conflict reporting
and resolution.
This patch introduces a mechanism to retain deleted tuples on the
subscriber during the application of concurrent transactions from remote
nodes. Retaining these tuples allows us to correctly ignore concurrent
updates to the same tuple. Without this, an UPDATE might be misinterpreted
as an INSERT during resolutions due to the absence of the original tuple.
Additionally, we ensure that origin metadata is not prematurely removed by
vacuum freeze, which is essential for detecting update_origin_differs and
delete_origin_differs conflicts.
To support this, a new replication slot named pg_conflict_detection is
created and maintained by the launcher on the subscriber. Each apply
worker tracks its own non-removable transaction ID, which the launcher
aggregates to determine the appropriate xmin for the slot, thereby
retaining necessary tuples.
Conflict information retention (deleted tuples and commit_ts) can be
enabled per subscription via the retain_conflict_info option. This is
disabled by default to avoid unnecessary overhead for configurations that
do not require conflict resolution or logging.
During upgrades, if any subscription on the old cluster has
retain_conflict_info enabled, a conflict detection slot will be created to
protect relevant tuples from deletion when the new cluster starts.
This is a foundational work to correctly detect update_deleted conflict
which will be done in a follow-up patch.

In commit b262ad440, we introduced an optimization that reduces an IS
[NOT] NULL qual on a NOT NULL column to constant true or constant
false, provided we can prove that the input expression of the NullTest
is not nullable by any outer joins or grouping sets. This deduction
happens quite late in the planner, during the distribution of quals to
rels in query_planner. However, this approach has some drawbacks: we
can't perform any further folding with the constant, and it turns out
to be prone to bugs.
Ideally, this deduction should happen during constant folding.
However, the per-relation information about which columns are defined
as NOT NULL is not available at that point. This information is
currently collected from catalogs when building RelOptInfos for base
or "other" relations.
This patch moves the collection of NOT NULL attribute information for
relations before pull_up_sublinks, storing it in a hash table keyed by
relation OID. It then uses this information to perform the NullTest
deduction for Vars during constant folding. This also makes it
possible to leverage this information to pull up NOT IN subqueries.
Note that this patch does not get rid of restriction_is_always_true
and restriction_is_always_false. Removing them would prevent us from
reducing some IS [NOT] NULL quals that we were previously able to
reduce, because (a) the self-join elimination may introduce new IS NOT
NULL quals after constant folding, and (b) if some outer joins are
converted to inner joins, previously irreducible NullTest quals may
become reducible.

In an upcoming patch, we plan to centralize the collection of catalog

Since this information is required during sublink pull-up, we are
moving the expansion of virtual generated columns to occur beforehand.

If a MERGE inside a CTE attempts an UPDATE or DELETE on a table with
BEFORE ROW triggers, and a concurrent UPDATE or DELETE happens, the
merge code would fail (crashing in the case of an UPDATE action, and
potentially executing the wrong action for a DELETE action).
This is the same issue that 9321c79c86 attempted to fix, except now
for a MERGE inside a CTE. As noted in 9321c79c86, what needs to happen
is for the trigger code to exit early, returning the TM_Result and
TM_FailureData information to the merge code, if a concurrent
modification is detected, rather than attempting to do an EPQ
recheck. The merge code will then do its own rechecking, and rescan
the action list, potentially executing a different action in light of
the concurrent update. In particular, the trigger code must never call
ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() for MERGE, since that is bound to fail because
MERGE has its own per-action projection information.
Commit 9321c79c86 did this using estate->es_plannedstmt->commandType
in the trigger code to detect that a MERGE was being executed, which
is fine for a plain MERGE command, but does not work for a MERGE
inside a CTE. Fix by passing that information to the trigger code as
an additional parameter passed to ExecBRUpdateTriggers() and
ExecBRDeleteTriggers().
Back-patch as far as v17 only, since MERGE cannot appear inside a CTE
prior to that. Additionally, take care to preserve the trigger ABI in
v17 (though not in v18, which is still in beta).

The regression tests for TOAST compression methods are split into two
independent files: one specific to LZ4 and interactions between two
different TOAST compression methods, now called compression_lz4, and a
second one for the "core" cases where only pglz is required.
This saves 300 lines in diffs coming from the alternate output of
compression.sql, required for builds where lz4 is not available. The
new test is skipped if the build does not support LZ4 compression,
relying on an \if and the values reported in pg_settings for the GUC
default_toast_compression, "lz4" being available only under USE_LZ4.
Another benefit of this split is that this facilitates the addition of
more compression methods for TOAST, which are under discussion.
Note the trick added for the tests of the GUC default_toast_compression,
where VERBOSITY = terse is used to avoid the HINT printing the lists of
values available in the GUC, which are environment-dependent. This
makes compression.sql independent of the availability of LZ4.
The code coverage of toast_compression.c is slightly improved, increased
from 89% to 91%, with one new case covered in lz4_compress_datum() for
incompressible data.

Also, improve the tests for this feature to exercise cases

getid() and putid(), which parse and deparse role names within ACL
input/output, applied isalnum() to see if a character within a role
name requires quoting. They did this even for non-ASCII characters,
which is problematic because the results would depend on encoding,
locale, and perhaps even platform. So it's possible that putid()
could elect not to quote some string that, later in some other
environment, getid() will decide is not a valid identifier, causing
dump/reload or similar failures.
To fix this in a way that won't risk interoperability problems
with unpatched versions, make getid() treat any non-ASCII as a
legitimate identifier character (hence not requiring quotes),
while making putid() treat any non-ASCII as requiring quoting.
We could remove the resulting excess quoting once we feel that
no unpatched servers remain in the wild, but that'll be years.
A lesser problem is that getid() did the wrong thing with an input
consisting of just two double quotes (""). That has to represent an
empty string, but getid() read it as a single double quote instead.
The case cannot arise in the normal course of events, since we don't
allow empty-string role names. But let's fix it while we're here.
Although we've not heard field reports of problems with non-ASCII
role names, there's clearly a hazard there, so back-patch to all

For an ordered Append or MergeAppend, we need to inject an explicit
sort into any subpath that is not already well enough ordered.
Currently, only explicit full sorts are considered; incremental sorts
are not yet taken into account.
In this patch, for subpaths of an ordered Append or MergeAppend, we
choose to use explicit incremental sort if it is enabled and there are
presorted keys.
The rationale is based on the assumption that incremental sort is
always faster than full sort when there are presorted keys, a premise
that has been applied in various parts of the code. In addition, the
current cost model tends to favor incremental sort as being cheaper
than full sort in the presence of presorted keys, making it reasonable
not to consider full sort in such cases.

the result, without bothering to wrap a new CoalesceExpr around it.
This isn't likely to produce any great improvement in runtime per se,
but it can lead to better plans since the planner no longer has to
treat the expression as non-strict.
However, there were a few regression test cases that intentionally
wrote COALESCE(x) as a shorthand way of creating a non-strict
subexpression. To avoid ruining the intent of those tests, write
COALESCE(x,x) instead. (If anyone ever proposes de-duplicating
COALESCE arguments, we'll need another iteration of this arms race.
But it seems pretty unlikely that such an optimization would be
worthwhile.)

Commits 8319e5cb5 et al missed the fact that ATPostAlterTypeCleanup
contains three calls to ATPostAlterTypeParse, and the other two
also need protection against passing a relid that we don't yet
have lock on. Add similar logic to those code paths, and add
some test cases demonstrating the need for it.
In v18 and master, the test cases demonstrate that there's a
behavioral discrepancy between stored generated columns and virtual
generated columns: we disallow changing the expression of a stored
column if it's used in any composite-type columns, but not that of
a virtual column. Since the expression isn't actually relevant to
either sort of composite-type usage, this prohibition seems
unnecessary; but changing it is a matter for separate discussion.
For now we are just documenting the existing behavior.

Currently check_recovery_target_timeline() converts any value that is
not "current", "latest", or a valid integer to 0. So, for example, the
following configuration added to postgresql.conf followed by a startup:
recovery_target_timeline = 'bogus'
recovery_target_timeline = '9999999999'
... results in the following error patterns:
FATAL: 22023: recovery target timeline 0 does not exist
FATAL: 22023: recovery target timeline 1410065407 does not exist
This is confusing, because the server does not reflect the intention of
the user, and just reports incorrect data unrelated to the GUC.
The origin of the problem is that we do not perform a range check in the
GUC value passed-in for recovery_target_timeline. This commit improves
the situation by using strtou64() and by providing stricter range
checks. Some test cases are added for the cases of an incorrect, an
upper-bound and a lower-bound timeline value, checking the sanity of the
reports based on the contents of the server logs.

Currently, we do not support Memoize for SEMI and ANTI joins because
nested loop SEMI/ANTI joins do not scan the inner relation to
completion, which prevents Memoize from marking the cache entry as
complete. One might argue that we could mark the cache entry as
complete after fetching the first inner tuple, but that would not be
safe: if the first inner tuple and the current outer tuple do not
satisfy the join clauses, a second inner tuple matching the parameters
would find the cache entry already marked as complete.
However, if the inner side is provably unique, this issue doesn't
arise, since there would be no second matching tuple. That said, this
doesn't help in the case of SEMI joins, because a SEMI join with a
provably unique inner side would already have been reduced to an inner
join by reduce_unique_semijoins.
Therefore, in this patch, we check whether the inner relation is
provably unique for ANTI joins and enable the use of Memoize in such
cases.

In commit fe07100e82, I renamed a couple of functions in
test_dsm_registry to make it clear what they are testing. However,
the buildfarm's cross-version upgrade tests run pg_upgrade with the
test modules installed, so this caused errors like:
ERROR: could not find function "get_val_in_shmem" in file ".../test_dsm_registry.so"
To fix, revert those renames. I could probably get away with only
un-renaming the C symbols, but I figured I'd avoid introducing
function name mismatches. Also, AFAICT the buildfarm's
cross-version upgrade tests do not run the test module tests
post-upgrade, else we'll need to properly version the extension.

Presently, the dynamic shared memory (DSM) registry only provides
GetNamedDSMSegment(), which allocates a fixed-size segment. To use
the DSM registry for more sophisticated things like dynamic shared
memory areas (DSAs) or a hash table backed by a DSA (dshash), users
need to create a DSM segment that stores various handles and LWLock
tranche IDs and to write fairly complicated initialization code.
Furthermore, there is likely little variation in this
initialization code between libraries.
This commit introduces functions that simplify allocating a DSA or
dshash within the DSM registry. These functions are very similar
to GetNamedDSMSegment(). Notable differences include the lack of
an initialization callback parameter and the prohibition of calling
the functions more than once for a given entry in each backend
(which should be trivially avoidable in most circumstances). While
at it, this commit bumps the maximum DSM registry entry name length
from 63 bytes to 127 bytes.
Also note that even though one could presumably detach/destroy the
DSAs and dshashes created in the registry, such use-cases are not
yet well-supported, if for no other reason than the associated DSM
registry entries cannot be removed. Adding such support is left as
a future exercise.
The test_dsm_registry test module contains tests for the new
functions and also serves as a complete usage example.

The array-based variant of width_bucket() has always accepted NaN
inputs, treating them as equal but larger than any non-NaN,
as we do in ordinary comparisons. But up to now, the four-argument
variants threw errors for a NaN operand. This is inconsistent
and unnecessary, since we can perfectly well regard NaN as falling
after the last bucket.
We do still throw error for NaN or infinity histogram-bound inputs,
since there's no way to compute sensible bucket boundaries.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but given the lack of field complaints
I'm content to fix it in master.

Recent nbtree bugfix commit 5f4d98d4 added a special case to the code
that sets up a page-level prefix of keys that are definitely satisfied
by every tuple on the page: whenever _bt_set_startikey reached a row
compare key, we'd refuse to apply the pstate.forcenonrequired behavior
in scans where that usually happens (scans with a higher-order array
key). That hack made the scan avoid essentially the same infinite
cycling behavior that also affected nbtree scans with redundant keys
(keys that preprocessing could not eliminate) prior to commit f09816a0.
There are now serious doubts about this row compare workaround.
Testing has shown that a scan with a row compare key and an array key
could still read the same leaf page twice (without the scan's direction
changing), which isn't supposed to be possible following the SAOP
enhancements added by Postgres 17 commit 5bf748b8. Also, we still
allowed a required row compare key to be used with forcenonrequired mode
when its header key happened to be beyond the pstate.ikey set by
_bt_set_startikey, which was complicated and brittle.
The underlying problem was that row compares had inconsistent rules
around how scans start (which keys can be used for initial positioning
purposes) and how scans end (which keys can set continuescan=false).
Quals with redundant keys that could not be eliminated by preprocessing
also had that same quality to them prior to today's bugfix f09816a0. It
now seems prudent to bring row compare keys in line with the new charter
for required keys, by making the start and end rules symmetric.
This commit fixes two points of disagreement between _bt_first and
_bt_check_rowcompare. Firstly, _bt_check_rowcompare was capable of
ending the scan at the point where it needed to compare an ISNULL-marked
row compare member that came immediately after a required row compare
member. _bt_first now has symmetric handling for NULL row compares.
Secondly, _bt_first had its own ideas about which keys were safe to use
for initial positioning purposes. It could use fewer or more keys than
_bt_check_rowcompare. _bt_first now uses the same requiredness markings
as _bt_check_rowcompare for this.
Now that _bt_first and _bt_check_rowcompare agree on how to start and
end scans, we can get rid of the forcenonrequired special case, without
any risk of infinite cycling. This approach also makes row compare keys
behave more like regular scalar keys, particularly within _bt_first.
Fixing these inconsistencies necessitates dealing with a related issue
with the way that row compares were marked required by preprocessing: we
didn't mark any lower-order row members required following 2016 bugfix
commit a298a1e0. That approach was over broad. The bug in question was
actually an oversight in how _bt_check_rowcompare dealt with tuple NULL
values that failed to satisfy a scan key marked required in the opposite
scan direction (it was a bug in 2011 commits 6980f817 and 882368e8, not
a bug in 2006 commit 3a0a16cb). Go back to marking row compare members
as required using the original 2006 rules, and fix the 2016 bug in a
more principled way: by limiting use of the "set continuescan=false with
a key required in the opposite scan direction upon encountering a NULL
tuple value" optimization to the first/most significant row member key.
While it isn't safe to use an implied IS NOT NULL qualifier to end the
scan when it comes from a required lower-order row compare member key,
it _is_ generally safe for such a required member key to end the scan --
provided the key is marked required in the _current_ scan direction.
This fixes what was arguably an oversight in either commit 5f4d98d4 or
commit 8a510275. It is a direct follow-up to today's commit f09816a0.

The previous minimum was to maintain support for Python 3.5, but we
now require Python 3.6 anyway (commit 45363fca63), so that reason is
obsolete. A small raise to Meson 0.57 allows getting rid of a fair
amount of version conditionals and silences some future-deprecated
warnings.
With the version bump, the following deprecation warnings appeared and
are fixed:
WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.55.0': ExternalProgram.path. use ExternalProgram.full_path() instead
WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.build_root. use meson.project_build_root() or meson.global_build_root() instead.
It turns out that meson 0.57.0 and 0.57.1 are buggy for our use, so
the minimum is actually set to 0.57.2. This is specific to this
version series; in the future we won't necessarily need to be this
precise.

This provides a convenient way to look up a database's OID. For
example, the query
SELECT * FROM pg_shdepend
WHERE dbid = (SELECT oid FROM pg_database
WHERE datname = current_database());
can now be simplified to
SELECT * FROM pg_shdepend
WHERE dbid = current_database()::regdatabase;
Like the regrole type, regdatabase has cluster-wide scope, so we
disallow regdatabase constants from appearing in stored
