We don't normally allow quals to be pushed down into a view created
with the security_barrier option, but functions without side effects
are an exception: they're OK. This allows much better performance in
common cases, such as when using an equality operator (that might
even be indexable).
There is an outstanding issue here with the CREATE FUNCTION / ALTER
FUNCTION syntax: there's no way to use ALTER FUNCTION to unset the
leakproof flag. But I'm committing this as-is so that it doesn't
have to be rebased again; we can fix up the grammar in a future
commit.

If tuples were toasted, heap_multi_insert didn't update the ctid on the
original tuples. This caused a failure if there was an after trigger
(including a foreign key), on the table, and a tuple got toasted.
Per off-list report and test case from Ted Phelps
Datatype I/O functions are allowed to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext,
since they are generally called in short-lived contexts. However, plpgsql
calls such functions for purposes of type conversion, and was calling them
in its procedure context. Therefore, any leaked memory would not be
recovered until the end of the plpgsql function. If such a conversion
was done within a loop, quite a bit of memory could get consumed. Fix by
calling such functions in the transient "eval_econtext", and adjust other
logic to match. Back-patch to all supported versions.

If an extension has not been selected to be dumped (perhaps because of
a --schema or --table switch), the contents of its configuration tables
surely should not get dumped either. Per gripe from
Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.
In pre-7.3 databases, pg_attribute.attislocal doesn't exist. The easiest
way to make sure the new inheritance logic behaves sanely is to assume it's
TRUE, not FALSE. This will result in printing child columns even when
they're not really needed. We could work harder at trying to reconstruct a
value for attislocal, but there is little evidence that anyone still cares
about dumping from such old versions, so just do the minimum necessary to
have a valid dump.
I had this correct in the original draft of the patch, but for some
unaccountable reason decided it wasn't necessary to change the value.
Testing against an old server shows otherwise...
Revise pg_dump's handling of inherited columns, which was last looked at
seriously in 2001, to eliminate several misbehaviors associated with
inherited default expressions and NOT NULL flags. In particular make sure
that a column is printed in a child table's CREATE TABLE command if and
only if it has attislocal = true; the former behavior would sometimes cause
a column to become marked attislocal when it was not so marked in the
source database. Also, stop relying on textual comparison of default
expressions to decide if they're inherited; instead, don't use
default-expression inheritance at all, but just install the default
explicitly at each level of the hierarchy. This fixes the
search-path-related misbehavior recently exhibited by Chester Young, and
also removes some dubious assumptions about the order in which ALTER TABLE
SET DEFAULT commands would be executed.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Per buildfarm, we sometimes get row-ordering variations in the output.
This also makes this query look more like numerous other ones in the same
test file.
Add new psql settings and command-line options to support setting the

easier interfacing with other shell tools.

It's not entirely evident how the logic here relates to the
interval_transform function, so let's clue people in that they need to
check that if the rules change.
These were added to kwlist.h as unreserved keywords in separate patches,
but authors forgot to add them to the corresponding list in gram.y.
Because of that, even though they were supposed to be unreserved keywords,
they could not be used as identifiers. src/tools/check_keywords.pl is your
friend.
Various filters that were meant to prevent dumping of table data were not
being applied to extension config tables, notably --exclude-table-data and
--no-unlogged-table-data. We also would bogusly try to dump data from
views, sequences, or foreign tables, should an extension try to claim they
were config tables. Fix all that, and refactor/redocument to try to make
this a bit less fragile. This reverts the implementation, though not the
feature, of commit 7b070e896c, which had
broken config-table dumping altogether :-(.
It is still the case that the code will dump config-table data even if
--schema is specified. That behavior was intentional, as per the comments
in getExtensionMembership, so I think it requires some more discussion
before we change it.
If somebody puts a window function in WHERE, we should complain about that
in so many words. The previous coding tended to complain about the window
function's arguments instead, which is likely to be misleading to users who
are unclear on the semantics of window functions; as seen for example in
bug #6440 from Matyas Novak.
Just another example of how "add new code at the end" is frequently a bad
heuristic.
Since bool_and() is equivalent to min(), and bool_or() to max(), we might
as well let them be index-optimized in the same way. The practical value
of this is debatable at best, but it seems nearly cost-free to enable it.
Code-wise, we need only adjust the entries in pg_aggregate. There is a
measurable planning speed penalty for a query involving one of these
aggregates, but it is only a few percent in simple cases, so that seems
acceptable.

When written, textanycat, anytextcat, quote_literal, and quote_nullable
were marked volatile, because they could invoke arbitrary type-specific
output functions as part of casting their anyelement arguments to text.
Since then, we have defined a project policy that I/O functions must not
be volatile, as per commit aab353a60b.
So these functions can safely be downgraded to stable. Most of the time
this makes no difference since they'll get inlined anyway, but as noted
by Andrew Dunstan, there are cases where the volatile marking prevents
optimizations that the planner does before function inlining. (I think
I might have overlooked these functions in the earlier commit on the
grounds that inlining would make it moot, but not so --- tgl)
This change results in a change in the expected output of the json
regression tests, because the planner can now flatten a sub-select
that it failed to before. The old output is preferable, but getting
that back will require some as-yet-unfinished work on RowExpr handling.

Use a target-specific variable to add to CPPFLAGS instead of writing a
custom .c -> .o rule. This will ensure that dependency tracking is
used when enabled.
The immediate impetus for this is that Noah Misch's patch to elide
unnecessary table and index rebuilds when changing typmod for temporal
types uses it; and this is extracted from that patch, with some
further commentary by me. But it seems logically separate from the
remainder of the patch, so I'm committing it separately; this is not
the first time someone has wanted fls() in the backend and probably
won't be the last.
If we end up using this in more performance-critical spots it may be
worthwhile to add some architecture-specific optimizations to our
src/port version of fls() - e.g. any x86 platform can implement this
using the assembly instruction BSRL. But performance won't matter
a bit for assessing typmod changes, so I'm not worried about that
right now.
This enables ALTER TABLE to skip table and index rebuilds when the
new type is unconstraint varbit, or when the allowable number of bits
is not decreasing.

Sometimes it may be useful to get actual row counts out of EXPLAIN
(ANALYZE) without paying the cost of timing every node entry/exit.
With this patch, you can say EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF) to get that.

This is another round of refactoring to make things simpler for parallel
pg_dump. pg_dump.c now issues SQL queries through the relevant Archive
object, rather than relying on the global variable g_conn. This commit
isn't quite enough to get rid of g_conn entirely, but it makes a big
dent in its utilization and, along the way, manages to be slightly less
code than before.
Do not prompt when options were not specified. Assume --no-createdb,
--no-createrole, --no-superuser by default.
Also disable prompting for user name in dropdb, unless --interactive

If LWLockWaitUntilFree was called before the first LWLockAcquire call, you
would either crash because of access to uninitialized array or account the
acquisition incorrectly. LWLockConditionalAcquire doesn't have this problem
because it doesn't update the lwlock stats.
In practice, this never happens because there is no codepath where you would
call LWLockWaitUntilfree before LWLockAcquire after a new process is
launched. But that's just accidental, there's no guarantee that that's
always going to be true in the future.

The postmaster was coded to treat any unexpected exit of the startup
process (i.e., the WAL replay process) as a catastrophic crash, and not try
to restart it. This was OK so long as the startup process could not have
any sibling postmaster children. However, if a hot-standby backend
crashes, we SIGQUIT the startup process along with everything else, and the
resulting exit is hardly "unexpected". Treating it as such meant we failed
to restart a standby server after any child crash at all, not only a crash
of the WAL replay process as intended. Adjust that. Back-patch to 9.0
where hot standby was introduced.
Although we will not even issue an XLOG_TBLSPC_DROP WAL record unless
removal of the tablespace's directories succeeds, that does not guarantee
that the same operation will succeed during WAL replay. Foreseeable
reasons for it to fail include temp files created in the tablespace by Hot
Standby backends, wrong directory permissions on a standby server, etc etc.
The original coding threw ERROR if replay failed to remove the directories,
but that is a serious overreaction. Throwing an error aborts recovery,
and worse means that manual intervention will be needed to get the database
to start again, since otherwise the same error will recur on subsequent
attempts to replay the same WAL record. And the consequence of failing to
remove the directories is only that some probably-small amount of disk
space is wasted, so it hardly seems justified to throw an error.
Accordingly, arrange to report such failures as LOG messages and keep going
when a failure occurs during replay.
Back-patch to 9.0 where Hot Standby was introduced. In principle such
problems can occur in earlier releases, but Hot Standby increases the odds
of trouble significantly. Given the lack of field reports of such issues,
I'm satisfied with patching back as far as the patch applies easily.
Instead, everything that needs the Archive object now gets it as a
parameter. This is necessary infrastructure for parallel pg_dump,
but is also amply justified by the ugliness of the current code
(though a lot more than this is needed to fix that problem).
Change various places in the code that are referencing the global
Archive object g_fout to instead reference the Archive object fout
which is already being passed as a parameter. For parallel pg_dump to
work, we're going to need multiple Archive(Handle) objects, so the
real solution here is to pass down the Archive object to everywhere
that it needs to go, but we might as well pick the low-hanging fruit
first.
Originally, most of this code assumed that no Postgres backends could be
running concurrently with it, and so no locking could be needed. That
assumption fails in Hot Standby. While it's still true that Hot Standby
backends should never change values like nextXid, they can examine them,
and consistency is important in some cases such as when computing a
snapshot. Therefore, prudence requires that WAL replay code obtain the
relevant locks when modifying such variables, even though it can examine
them without taking a lock. We were following that coding rule in some
places but not all. This commit applies the coding rule uniformly to all
updates of ShmemVariableCache and MultiXactState fields; a search of the
replay routines did not find any other cases that seemed to be at risk.
In addition, this commit fixes a longstanding thinko in replay of NEXTOID
and checkpoint records: we tried to advance nextOid only if it was behind
the value in the WAL record, but the comparison would draw the wrong
conclusion if OID wraparound had occurred since the previous value.
Better to just unconditionally assign the new value, since OID assignment
shouldn't be happening during replay anyway.
The additional locking seems to be more in the nature of future-proofing
than fixing any live bug, so I am not going to back-patch it. The NEXTOID
fix will be back-patched separately.
RestoreBkpBlocks was in the habit of zeroing and refilling the target
buffer; which was perfectly safe when the code was written, but is unsafe
during Hot Standby operation. The reason is that we have coding rules
that allow backends to continue accessing a tuple in a heap relation while
holding only a pin on its buffer. Such a backend could see transiently
zeroed data, if WAL replay had occasion to change other data on the page.
This has been shown to be the cause of bug #6425 from Duncan Rance (who
deserves kudos for developing a sufficiently-reproducible test case) as
well as Bridget Frey's re-report of bug #6200. It most likely explains the
original report as well, though we don't yet have confirmation of that.
To fix, change the code so that only bytes that are supposed to change will
change, even transiently. This actually saves cycles in RestoreBkpBlocks,
since it's not writing the same bytes twice.
Also fix seq_redo, which has the same disease, though it has to work a bit
harder to meet the requirement.
So far as I can tell, no other WAL replay routines have this type of bug.
In particular, the index-related replay routines, which would certainly be
broken if they had to meet the same standard, are not at risk because we
do not have coding rules that allow access to an index page when not
holding a buffer lock on it.
Back-patch to 9.0 where Hot Standby was added.
All other WAL redo routines either call RestoreBkpBlocks() or Assert that
they haven't been passed any backup blocks. Make this one do likewise.
Also, fix incorrect routine name in its failure message.
This reverts commit 500cf66d55. As was
more or less expected, a small minority of platforms won't accept
denormalized input even with the recent changes. It doesn't seem
especially helpful to test this if we're going to have to provide an
alternate expected-file to allow failure.
