Continuing to support this backwards-compatibility feature has
nontrivial costs; in particular it is potentially a security hazard
if an application somehow gets confused about which setting the
server is using. We changed the default to ON fifteen years ago,
which seems like enough time for applications to have adapted.
Let's remove support for the legacy string syntax.
We should not remove the GUC altogether, since client-side code will
still test it, pg_dump scripts will attempt to set it to ON, etc.
Instead, just prevent it from being set to OFF. There is precedent
for this approach (see commit de66987ad).
This patch does remove the related GUC escape_string_warning, however.
That setting does nothing when standard_conforming_strings is on,
so it's now useless. We could leave it in place as a do-nothing
setting to avoid breaking clients that still set it, if there are any.
But it seems likely that any such client is also trying to turn off
standard_conforming_strings, so it'll need work anyway.
The client-side changes in this patch are pretty minimal, because even
though we are dropping the server's support, most of our clients still
need to be able to talk to older server versions. We could remove
dead client code only once we disclaim compatibility with pre-v19
servers, which is surely years away. One change of note is that
pg_dump/pg_dumpall now set standard_conforming_strings = on in their
source session, rather than accepting the source server's default.
This ensures that literals in view definitions and such will be
printed in a way that's acceptable to v19+. In particular,
pg_upgrade will work transparently even if the source installation has
standard_conforming_strings = off. (However, pg_restore will behave
the same as before if given an archive file containing
standard_conforming_strings = off. Such an archive will not be safely
restorable into v19+, but we shouldn't break the ability to extract
valid data from it for use with an older server.)

When IN/ANY clauses contain both constants and variable expressions, the
optimizer transforms them into separate structures: constants become
an array expression while variables become individual OR conditions.
This transformation was creating an overlap with the token locations,
causing pg_stat_statements query normalization to crash because it
could not calculate the amount of bytes remaining to write for the
normalized query.
This commit disables squashing for mixed IN list expressions when
constructing a scalar array op, by setting list_start and list_end
to -1 when both variables and non-variables are present. Some
regression tests are added to PGSS to verify these patterns.

Commit 5b148706c5 exposed functionality that allows multiple processes to
use the same replication origin, enabling non-builtin logical replication
solutions to implement parallel apply for large transactions.
With this functionality, if two backends acquire the same replication
origin and one of them resets it first, the acquired_by flag is cleared
without acknowledging that another backend is still actively using the
origin. This can lead to the origin being unintentionally dropped. If the
shared memory for that dropped origin is later reused for a newly created
origin, the remaining backend that still holds a pointer to the old memory
may inadvertently advance the LSN of a completely different origin,
causing unpredictable behavior.
Although the underlying issue predates commit 5b148706c5, it did not
surface earlier because the internal parallel apply worker mechanism
correctly coordinated origin resets and drops.
This commit resolves the problem by introducing a reference counter for
replication origins. The reference count increases when a backend sets the
origin and decreases when it resets it. Additionally, the backend that
first acquires the origin will not release it until all other backends
using the origin have released it as well.
The patch also prevents dropping a replication origin when acquired_by is
zero but the reference counter is nonzero, covering the scenario where the
first session exits without properly releasing the origin.

RangeTblEntry.groupexprs was marked with the node attribute
query_jumble_ignore, causing a list of GROUP BY expressions to be
ignored during the query jumbling. For example, these two queries could
be grouped together within the same query ID:
SELECT count(*) FROM t GROUP BY a;
SELECT count(*) FROM t GROUP BY b;
However, as such queries use different GROUP BY clauses, they should be
split across multiple entries.
This fixes an oversight in 247dea89f7, that has introduced an RTE for
GROUP BY clauses. Query IDs are documented as being stable across minor
releases, but as this is a regression new to v18 and that we are still

The dmetaphone() SQL function internally upper-cases the argument
string. It did this using the toupper() function. That way, it has a
dependency on the global LC_CTYPE locale setting, which we want to get
rid of.
The "double metaphone" algorithm specifically supports the "C with
cedilla" letter, so just using ASCII case conversion wouldn't work.
To fix that, use the passed-in collation and use the str_toupper()
function, which has full awareness of collations and collation
providers.
Note that this does not change the fact that this function only works
correctly with single-byte encodings. The change to str_toupper()
makes the case conversion multibyte-enabled, but the rest of the
function is still not ready.

btree_gist's gist_inet_ops and gist_cidr_ops opclasses are
fundamentally broken: they rely on an approximate representation of
the inet values and hence sometimes miss rows they should return.
We want to eventually get rid of them altogether, but as the first
step on that journey, we should mark them not-opcdefault.
To do that, roll up the preceding deltas since 1.2 into a new base
script btree_gist--1.9.sql. This will allow installing 1.9 without
going through a transient situation where gist_inet_ops and
gist_cidr_ops are marked as opcdefault; trying to create them that
way will fail if there's already a matching default opclass in the
core system. Additionally provide btree_gist--1.8--1.9.sql, so
that a database that's been pg_upgraded from an older version can
be migrated to 1.9.
I noted along the way that commit 57e3c5160 had missed marking the
gist_bool_ops support functions as PARALLEL SAFE. While that probably
has little harmful effect (since AFAIK we don't check that when
calling index support functions), this seems like a good time to make
things consistent.
Readers will also note that I removed the former habit of installing
some opclass operators/functions with ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY, instead
just rolling them all into the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS steps. The
comment in btree_gist--1.2.sql that it's necessary to use ALTER for
pg_upgrade reproducibility has been obsolete since we invented the
amadjustmembers infrastructure. Nowadays, gistadjustmembers will
force all operators and non-required support functions to have "soft"
opfamily dependencies, regardless of whether they are installed by
CREATE or ALTER.

This fixes a poorly written integer comparison function which was
performing subtraction in an attempt to return a negative value when
a < b and a positive value when a > b, and 0 when the values were equal.
Unfortunately that didn't always work correctly due to two's complement
having the INT_MIN 1 further from zero than INT_MAX. This could result
in an overflow and cause the comparison function to return an incorrect
result, which would result in the binary search failing to find the
value being searched for.
This could cause poor selectivity estimates when the statistics stored
the value of INT_MAX (2147483647) and the value being searched for was
large enough to result in the binary search doing a comparison with that
INT_MAX value.

Up to now, index amhandlers were expected to produce a new, palloc'd
struct on each call. That requires palloc/pfree overhead, and creates
a risk of memory leaks if the caller fails to pfree, and the time
taken to fill such a large structure isn't nil. Moreover, we were
storing these things in the relcache, eating several hundred bytes for
each cached index. There is not anything in these structs that needs
to vary at runtime, so let's change the definition so that an
amhandler can return a pointer to a "static const" struct of which
there's only one copy per index AM. Mark all the core code's
IndexAmRoutine pointers const so that we catch anyplace that might
still try to change or pfree one.
(This is similar to the way we were already handling TableAmRoutine
structs. This commit does fix one comment that was infelicitously
copied-and-pasted into tableamapi.c.)
This commit needs to be called out in the v19 release notes as an API
change for extension index AMs. An un-updated AM will still work

necessary.

This patch causes one postgres_fdw test case to revert to the plan
it used before aa86129e1, i.e., using a remote sort in preference to
local sort. That decision is actually a coin-flip because cost_sort()
will give the same answer on both sides, so that the plan choice comes
down to little more than roundoff error. In consequence, the test
output can change as a result of even minor changes in nearby costs,
as we saw in aa86129e1 (compare also b690e5fac and 4b14e1871).
b690e5fac's solution to stabilizing the adjacent test case was to
disable sorting locally, and here we extend that to the currently-

plan choice to change back in this same way, for even less apparent

Instead of passing "JsonbParseState **" to pushJsonbValue(),
pass a pointer to a JsonbInState, which will contain the
parseState stack pointer as well as other useful fields.
Also, instead of returning a JsonbValue pointer that is often
meaningless/ignored, return the top-level JsonbValue pointer
in the "result" field of the JsonbInState.
This involves a lot of (mostly mechanical) edits, but I think
the results are notationally cleaner and easier to understand.
Certainly the business with sometimes capturing the result of
pushJsonbValue() and sometimes not was bug-prone and incapable of
mechanical verification. In the new arrangement, JsonbInState.result
remains null until we've completed a valid sequence of pushes, so
that an incorrect sequence will result in a null-pointer dereference,
not mistaken use of a partial result.
However, this isn't simply an exercise in prettier notation.
The real reason for doing it is to provide a mechanism whereby
pushJsonbValue() can be told to construct the JsonbValue tree
in a context that is not CurrentMemoryContext. That happens
when a non-null "outcontext" is specified in the JsonbInState.
No callers exercise that option in this patch, but the next
patch in the series will make use of it.
