I made up a very crude hack to compare the docs with reality (as
embodied in the system catalogs) ... and indeed they don't match
everywhere. Missing oid columns, wrong data types, wrong "references"
links, columns listed in the wrong order. None of this seems quite
important enough to back-patch.
Somehow we'd never noticed this oversight, even though it means
that such basic columns as pg_proc.proargtypes were not being
validated by the oidjoins test. Correct the query and update
the test script with the newly-found dependencies.
Incremental sort always processes at least one full group group before
switching to prefix groups, so it's enough to check just the number of
full groups. There was no risk of division by zero due to the extra
condition, but it made the code harder to understand.

ExecReScanIncrementalSort was resetting bounded=false, which means the
optimization would be disabled on all rescans. This happens because
ExecSetTupleBound is called before the rescan, not after it.

The executor flags were not handled entirely correctly, although the
bugs were mostly harmless and it was mostly comment inaccuracy. We don't
need to strip any of the flags for child nodes.
Incremental sort does not support backward scans of mark/restore, so
MARK/BACKWARDS flags should not be possible. So we simply ensure this
using an assert, and we don't bother removing them when initializing
the child node.
With REWIND it's a bit less clear - incremental sort does not support
REWIND, but there is no way to signal this - it's legal to just ignore
the flag. We however continue passing the flag to child nodes, because
they might be useful to leverage that.

We seem to have forgotten to do this in the v12 cycle, so add it as
a task in the RELEASE_CHANGES list, in hopes we won't forget again.
While here, fix findoidjoins.c so that it actually works in the
new dispensation where OID is a regular column, and change it to only
consider system relations (this avoids being fooled by the OID column
in the brintest test table).
Also tweak the largeobject test so that the somewhat-recently-added
manual creation of a LO with an OID in the system range doesn't
fool findoidjoins.c. For the moment I just made that use an unused
OID, but we might have to find a more robust solution someday.
Code review for 0dc8ead463, prompted by a bug closed by 91c40548d5.
XLogReader's system for opening and closing segments had gotten too
complicated, with callbacks being passed at both the XLogReaderAllocate
level (read_page) as well as at the WALRead level (segment_open). This
was confusing and hard to follow, so restructure things so that these
callbacks are passed together at XLogReaderAllocate time, and add
another callback to the set (segment_close) to make it a coherent whole.
Also, ensure XLogReaderState is an argument to all the callbacks, so
that they can grab at the ->private data if necessary.
Document the whole arrangement more clearly.

TimelineHistoryRead and TimelineHistoryWrite wait events are reported

However, previously, TimelineHistoryRead wait event was not reported

Factor out code common to _bt_lock_branch_parent() and _bt_pagedel()
into a new utility function. This new function is used to check that
the left sibling of a deletion target page does not have the
INCOMPLETE_SPLIT page flag set. If it is set then deletion is unsafe;
there won't be a usable pivot tuple (with a downlink) in the parent page
that points to the deletion target page. The page deletion algorithm is
not prepared to deal with that. Also restructure an existing, related
utility function that checks if the right sibling of the target page has
the ISHALFDEAD page flag set.
This organization highlights the symmetry between the two cases. The
goal is to make the design of page deletion clearer. Both functions
involve a sibling page with a flag that indicates that there was an
interrupted operation (a page split or a page deletion) that resulted in
a page pointed to by sibling pages, but not pointed to in the parent.
And, both functions indicate if page deletion is unsafe due to the
absence of a particular downlink in the parent page.
checkcondition_str() failed to report multiple matches for a prefix
pattern correctly: it would dutifully merge the match positions, but
then after exiting that loop, if the last prefix-matching word had
had no suitable positions, it would report there were no matches.
The upshot would be failing to recognize a match that the query
should match.
It looks like you need all of these conditions to see the bug:
* a phrase search (else we don't ask for match position details)
* a prefix search item (else we don't get to this code)
* a weight restriction (else checkclass_str won't fail)
Noted while investigating a problem report from Pavel Borisov,
though this is distinct from the issue he was on about.
Back-patch to 9.6 where phrase search was added.
This converts the contrib documentation to the new style, and mops up
a couple of function tables that were outside chapter 9 in the main
docs.
A few contrib modules choose not to present their functions in the
standard tabular format. There might be room to rethink those decisions
now that the standard format is more friendly to verbose descriptions.
But I have not undertaken to do that here; I just converted existing
tables.
In the wake of commit f21599311, we don't need to set table columns'
align specs retail. Undo a few such settings I'd added in commit

We were acquiring object locks then deleting objects one by one, instead
of acquiring all object locks first, ignoring those that did not exist,
and then deleting all objects together. The latter is the correct
protocol to use, and what this commits changes to code to do. Failing
to follow that leads to "cache lookup failed for relation XYZ" error
reports when DROP OWNED runs concurrently with other DDL -- for example,
a session termination that removes some temp tables.

I concluded that we really just ought to force all tables in PDF output
to default to "left" alignment (instead of "justify"); that is what the
HTML toolchain does and that's what most people have been designing the
tables to look good with. There are few if any places where "justify"
produces better-looking output, and there are many where it looks
horrible. So change stylesheet-fo.xsl to make that true.
Also tweak column widths in a few more tables to make them look better
and avoid "exceed the available area" warnings. This commit fixes
basically everything that can be fixed through that approach. The
remaining tables that give warnings either are scheduled for redesign
as per recent discussions, or need a fundamental rethink because they

Moving this setting into the main configuration file was ill-considered,
perhaps, because that typically causes it to be set before
timezone_abbreviations has been set. Which in turn means that zone
abbreviations don't work, only full zone names.
We could imagine hacking things so that such cases do work, but the
stability of the hack would be questionable, and the value isn't really
that high. Instead just document that you should use a numeric zone
offset or a full zone name.

The PDF toolchain defaults to laying out all columns of a table with
equal widths, in contrast to the HTML rendering which automatically
varies the column widths to fit the data. In many places, this
results in very badly laid-out tables, with lots of useless whitespace
in some places and text that overruns its cell in other places.
For tables that have reasonably static content, we can improve
matters by adding <colspec> entries to hand-assign the column widths.
This commit does that for a few of the tables that were worst off;
it eliminates close to 200 "contents ... exceed the available area"
warnings in an A4 PDF build.
I also forced align="left" in these tables, overriding the PDF
toolchain's default which is evidently "justify". (The HTML toolchain
seems to default to that already.) Anyplace where things are tight
enough that we need to worry about this, forced justification tends to
look truly awful.
Add a test case to contrib/amcheck that creates coverage of code paths
that are used to verify posting list tuples (tuples created when
deduplication merges together existing tuples to avoid a leaf page
split).
We had a mishmash of <replaceable>, <replaceable class="parameter">,
and <parameter> markup for operator/function arguments. Use <parameter>
consistently for things that are in fact names of parameters (including
OUT parameters), reserving <replaceable> for things that aren't. The
latter class includes some made-up-by-the-docs type class names, like
"numeric_type", as well as placeholders for arguments that don't have
well-defined types. Possibly we could do better with those categories
as well, but for the moment I'm content not to have parameter names
marked up in different ways in different places.
(This commit aligns the earlier sections of chapter 9 with a policy
that I'd arrived at while working on commit 1ad23335f, which is why
the last few sections need no changes.)
