2268f2b91b Remove useless casts in format arguments
There were a number of useless casts in format arguments, either
where the input to the cast was already in the right type, or
seemingly uselessly casting between types instead of just using the
right format placeholder to begin with.

4f941d432b Remove useless casting to same type
This removes some casts where the input already has the same type as
the type specified by the cast.  Their presence could cause risks of
hiding actual type mismatches in the future or silently discarding
qualifiers.  It also improves readability.  Same kind of idea as
7f798aca1d and ef8fe69360.  (This does not change all such
instances, but only those hand-picked by the author.)

519fa0433b Fix error reporting for SQL/JSON path type mismatches
transformJsonFuncExpr() used exprType()/exprLocation() on the
possibly coerced path expression, which could be NULL when
coercion to jsonpath failed, leading to "cache lookup failed
for type 0" errors.

Preserve the original expression node so that type and location
in the "must be of type jsonpath" error are reported correctly.
Add regression tests to cover these cases.

698fa924b1 Improve detection of implicitly-temporary views.
We've long had a practice of making views temporary by default if they
reference any temporary tables.  However the implementation was pretty
incomplete, in that it only searched for RangeTblEntry references to
temp relations.  Uses of temporary types, regclass constants, etc
were not detected even though the dependency mechanism considers them
grounds for dropping the view.  Thus a view not believed to be temp
could silently go away at session exit anyhow.

To improve matters, replace the ad-hoc isQueryUsingTempRelation()
logic with use of the dependency-based infrastructure introduced by
commit 572c40ba9.  This is complete by definition, and it's less code
overall.

While we're at it, we can also extend the warning NOTICE (or ERROR
in the case of a materialized view) to mention one of the temp
objects motivating the classification of the view as temp, as was
done for functions in 572c40ba9.

35b5c62c3a Don't allow CTEs to determine semantic levels of aggregates.
The fix for bug #19055 (commit b0cc0a71e) allowed CTE references in
sub-selects within aggregate functions to affect the semantic levels
assigned to such aggregates.  It turns out this broke some related
cases, leading to assertion failures or strange planner errors such
as "unexpected outer reference in CTE query".  After experimenting
with some alternative rules for assigning the semantic level in
such cases, we've come to the conclusion that changing the level
is more likely to break things than be helpful.

Therefore, this patch undoes what b0cc0a71e changed, and instead
installs logic to throw an error if there is any reference to a
CTE that's below the semantic level that standard SQL rules would
assign to the aggregate based on its contained Var and Aggref nodes.
(The SQL standard disallows sub-selects within aggregate functions,
so it can't reach the troublesome case and hence has no rule for
what to do.)

Perhaps someone will come along with a legitimate query that this
logic rejects, and if so probably the example will help us craft
a level-adjustment rule that works better than what b0cc0a71e did.
I'm not holding my breath for that though, because the previous
logic had been there for a very long time before bug #19055 without
complaints, and that bug report sure looks to have originated from
fuzzing not from real usage.

Like b0cc0a71e, back-patch to all supported branches, though
sadly that no longer includes v13.

Commit 96b3784973 extended the grammar for CREATE PUBLICATION to support
the ALL SEQUENCES variant. However, it unnecessarily prepared publication

447aae13b0 Implement WAIT FOR command
WAIT FOR is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed.  This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.

WAIT FOR needs to wait without any snapshot held.  Otherwise, the snapshot
could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of self-deadlock.
This is why separate utility command seems appears to be the most robust
way to implement this functionality.  It's not possible to implement this as
a function.  Previous experience shows that stored procedures also have
limitation in this aspect.

ff4597acd4 Allow "SET list_guc TO NULL" to specify setting the GUC to empty.
We have never had a SET syntax that allows setting a GUC_LIST_INPUT
parameter to be an empty list.  A locution such as
	SET search_path = '';
doesn't mean that; it means setting the GUC to contain a single item
that is an empty string.  (For search_path the net effect is much the
same, because search_path ignores invalid schema names and '' must be
invalid.)  This is confusing, not least because configuration-file
entries and the set_config() function can easily produce empty-list
values.

We considered making the empty-string syntax do this, but that would
foreclose ever allowing empty-string items to be valid in list GUCs.
While there isn't any obvious use-case for that today, it feels like
the kind of restriction that might hurt someday.  Instead, let's
accept the forbidden-up-to-now value NULL and treat that as meaning an
empty list.  (An objection to this could be "what if we someday want
to allow NULL as a GUC value?".  That seems unlikely though, and even
if we did allow it for scalar GUCs, we could continue to treat it as
meaning an empty list for list GUCs.)

f0b3573c3a Introduce "REFRESH SEQUENCES" for subscriptions.
This patch adds support for a new SQL command:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
This command updates the sequence entries present in the
pg_subscription_rel catalog table with the INIT state to trigger
resynchronization.

In addition to the new command, the following subscription commands have
been enhanced to automatically refresh sequence mappings:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... ADD PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... DROP PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION

These commands will perform the following actions:
Add newly published sequences that are not yet part of the subscription.
Remove sequences that are no longer included in the publication.

This ensures that sequence replication remains aligned with the current
state of the publication on the publisher side.

Note that the actual synchronization of sequence data/values will be
handled in a subsequent patch that introduces a dedicated sequence sync
worker.

2470ca435c Use CompactAttribute more often, when possible
5983a4cff added CompactAttribute for storing commonly used fields from
FormData_pg_attribute.  5983a4cff didn't go to the trouble of adjusting
every location where we can use CompactAttribute rather than
FormData_pg_attribute, so here we change the remaining ones.

There are some locations where I've left the code using
FormData_pg_attribute.  These are mostly in the ALTER TABLE code.  Using
CompactAttribute here seems more risky as often the TupleDesc is being
changed and those changes may not have been flushed to the
CompactAttribute yet.

I've also left record_recv(), record_send(), record_cmp(), record_eq()
and record_image_eq() alone as it's not clear to me that accessing the
CompactAttribute is a win here due to the FormData_pg_attribute still
having to be accessed for most cases.  Switching the relevant parts to
use CompactAttribute would result in having to access both for common
cases.  Careful benchmarking may reveal that something can be done to
make this better, but in absence of that, the safer option is to leave
these alone.

In ReorderBufferToastReplace(), there was a check to skip attnums < 0
while looping over the TupleDesc.  Doing this is redundant since
TupleDescs don't store < 0 attnums.  Removing that code allows us to
move to using CompactAttribute.

The change in validateDomainCheckConstraint() just moves fetching the
FormData_pg_attribute into the ERROR path, which is cold due to calling
errstart_cold() and results in code being moved out of the common path.

Publications can now include all sequences via FOR ALL SEQUENCES.
psql enhancements:

\dRp indicates if a publication includes all sequences.

ALL SEQUENCES can be combined with ALL TABLES, but not with other options
like TABLE or TABLES IN SCHEMA. We can extend support for more granular
clauses in future.

The view pg_publication_sequences provides information about the mapping
between publications and sequences.

ef5e60a9d3 Fix internal error from CollateExpr in SQL/JSON DEFAULT expressions
SQL/JSON functions such as JSON_VALUE could fail with "unrecognized
node type" errors when a DEFAULT clause contained an explicit COLLATE
expression. That happened because assign_collations_walker() could
invoke exprSetCollation() on a JsonBehavior expression whose DEFAULT
still contained a CollateExpr, which exprSetCollation() does not
handle.

For example:

  SELECT JSON_VALUE('{"a":1}', '$.c' RETURNING text
                    DEFAULT 'A' COLLATE "C" ON EMPTY);

Fix by validating in transformJsonBehavior() that the DEFAULT
expression's collation matches the enclosing JSON expression’s
collation. In exprSetCollation(), replace the recursive call on the
JsonBehavior expression with an assertion that its collation already
matches the target, since the parser now enforces that condition.

25a30bbd42 Add IGNORE NULLS/RESPECT NULLS option to Window functions.
Add IGNORE NULLS/RESPECT NULLS option (null treatment clause) to lead,
lag, first_value, last_value and nth_value window functions.  If
unspecified, the default is RESPECT NULLS which includes NULL values
in any result calculation. IGNORE NULLS ignores NULL values.

Built-in window functions are modified to call new API
WinCheckAndInitializeNullTreatment() to indicate whether they accept
IGNORE NULLS/RESPECT NULLS option or not (the API can be called by
user defined window functions as well).  If WinGetFuncArgInPartition's
allowNullTreatment argument is true and IGNORE NULLS option is given,
WinGetFuncArgInPartition() or WinGetFuncArgInFrame() will return
evaluated function's argument expression on specified non NULL row (if
it exists) in the partition or the frame.

When IGNORE NULLS option is given, window functions need to visit and
evaluate same rows over and over again to look for non null rows. To
mitigate the issue, 2-bit not null information array is created while
executing window functions to remember whether the row has been
already evaluated to NULL or NOT NULL. If already evaluated, we could
skip the evaluation work, thus we could get better performance.

ef38a4d975 Add GROUP BY ALL.
GROUP BY ALL is a form of GROUP BY that adds any TargetExpr that does
not contain an aggregate or window function into the groupClause of
the query, making it exactly equivalent to specifying those same
expressions in an explicit GROUP BY list.

This feature is useful for certain kinds of data exploration.  It's
already present in some other DBMSes, and the SQL committee recently
accepted it into the standard, so we can be reasonably confident in
the syntax being stable.  We do have to invent part of the semantics,
as the standard doesn't allow for expressions in GROUP BY, so they
haven't specified what to do with window functions.  We assume that
those should be treated like aggregates, i.e., left out of the
constructed GROUP BY list.

In passing, wordsmith some existing documentation about GROUP BY,
and update some neglected synopsis entries in select_into.sgml.

b0fb2c6aa5 Refactor to avoid code duplication in transformPLAssignStmt.
transformPLAssignStmt contained many lines cribbed directly from
transformSelectStmt.  I had supposed that we could manage to keep
the two copies in sync, but the bug just fixed in 7504d2be9 shows
that that hope was foolish.  Let's refactor so there's just one copy.

The main stumbling block to doing this is that transformPLAssignStmt
has a chunk of custom code that has to run after transformTargetList
but before we potentially modify the tlist further during analysis
of ORDER BY and GROUP BY.  Rather than make transformSelectStmt fully
aware of PLAssignStmt processing, I put that code into a callback
function.  It still feels a little bit ugly, but it's not too awful,
and surely it's better than a hundred lines of duplicated code.
The steps involved in processing a PLAssignStmt remain exactly
the same as before, just in different places.

7504d2be9e Fix missed copying of groupDistinct in transformPLAssignStmt.
Because we failed to do this, DISTINCT in GROUP BY DISTINCT would be
ignored in PL/pgSQL assignment statements.  It's not surprising that
no one noticed, since such statements will throw an error if the query
produces more than one row.  That eliminates most scenarios where
advanced forms of GROUP BY could be useful, and indeed makes it hard
even to find a simple test case.  Nonetheless it's wrong.

This is directly the fault of be45be9c3 which added the groupDistinct
field, but I think much of the blame has to fall on c9d529848, in
which I incautiously supposed that we'd manage to keep two copies of
a big chunk of parse-analysis logic in sync.  As a follow-up, I plan
to refactor so that there's only one copy.  But that seems useful
only in master, so let's use this one-line fix for the back branches.

b0cc0a71e0 Calculate agglevelsup correctly when Aggref contains a CTE.
If an aggregate function call contains a sub-select that has
an RTE referencing a CTE outside the aggregate, we must treat
that reference like a Var referencing the CTE's query level
for purposes of determining the aggregate's level.  Otherwise
we might reach the nonsensical conclusion that the aggregate
should be evaluated at some query level higher than the CTE,
ending in a planner error or a broken plan tree that causes
executor failures.

83a5641945 Provide more-specific error details/hints for function lookup failures.
Up to now we've contented ourselves with a one-size-fits-all error
hint when we fail to find any match to a function or procedure call.
That was mostly okay in the beginning, but it was never great, and
since the introduction of named arguments it's really not adequate.
We at least ought to distinguish "function name doesn't exist" from
"function name exists, but not with those argument names".  And the
rules for named-argument matching are arcane enough that some more
detail seems warranted if we match the argument names but the call
still doesn't work.

This patch creates a framework for dealing with these problems:
FuncnameGetCandidates and related code will now pass back a bitmask of
flags showing how far the match succeeded.  This allows a considerable
amount of granularity in the reports.  The set-bits-in-a-bitmask
approach means that when there are multiple candidate functions, the
report will reflect the match(es) that got the furthest, which seems
correct.  Also, we can avoid mentioning "maybe add casts" unless
failure to match argument types is actually the issue.

Extend the same return-a-bitmask approach to OpernameGetCandidates.
The issues around argument names don't apply to operator syntax,
but it still seems worth distinguishing between "there is no
operator of that name" and "we couldn't match the argument types".

While at it, adjust these messages and related ones to more strictly
separate "detail" from "hint", following our message style guidelines'
distinction between those.

585e31fcb6 Don't generate fake "*SELECT*" or "*SELECT* %d" subquery aliases.
rte->alias should point only to a user-written alias, but in these
cases that principle was violated. Fixing this causes some regression
test output changes: wherever rte->alias previously had a value and
is now NULL, rte->eref is now set to a generated name rather than to
rte->alias; and the scheme used to generate eref names differs from
what we were doing for aliases.

The upshot is that instead of "*SELECT*" or "*SELECT* %d",
EXPLAIN will now emit "unnamed_subquery" or "unnamed_subquery_%d".
But that's a reasonable descriptor, and we were already producing
that in yet other cases, so this seems not too objectionable.

COPY TO does not support a WHERE clause, and currently fails with the error:

    ERROR:  WHERE clause not allowed with COPY TO

Since the intended behavior can be achieved by using
COPY (SELECT ... WHERE ...) TO, this commit adds a HINT
to the error message:

    HINT:  Try the COPY (SELECT ... WHERE ...) TO variant.

This makes the error more informative and helps users
quickly find the alternative usage.

bee23ea4dd Show sizes of FETCH queries as constants in pg_stat_statements
Prior to this patch, every FETCH call would generate a unique queryId
with a different size specified.  Depending on the workloads, this could
lead to a significant bloat in pg_stat_statements, as repeatedly calling
a specific cursor would result in a new queryId each time.  For example,
FETCH 1 c1; and FETCH 2 c1; would produce different queryIds.

This patch improves the situation by normalizing the fetch size, so as
semantically similar statements generate the same queryId.  As a result,
statements like the below, which differ syntactically but have the same
effect, will now share a single queryId:
FETCH FROM c1
FETCH NEXT c1
FETCH 1 c1

In order to do a normalization based on the keyword used in FETCH,
FetchStmt is tweaked with a new FetchDirectionKeywords.  This matters
for "howMany", which could be set to a negative value depending on the
direction, and we want to normalize the queries with enough information
about the direction keywords provided, including RELATIVE, ABSOLUTE or
all the ALL variants.

Fix squashing algorithm for query texts
The algorithm to squash lists of constants added by commit 62d712ecfd
was a bit too simplistic; we wanted to avoid adding unnecessary
complexity, but cases like direct function calls of typecasting
functions (and others) were missed, and bogus SQL syntax was being shown
in pg_stat_statements normalized query text field.  To fix normalization
for those cases, we need the parser to transmit information about were
each list of constant values starts and ends, so add that to a couple of
nodes.  Also add a few more test cases to make sure we're doing the
right thing.

The patch initially submitted by Sami added a new private struct in
gram.y to carry the start/end information for A_Expr, but I (Álvaro)
decided that a better fix was to remove the parser indirection via the
in_expr production, and instead create separate components in the a_expr
rule.  I'm surprised that this works and doesn't require more changes,
but I assume (without checking) that the grammar used to be more complex
and got simplified at some point.

f85f6ab051 Revert support for improved tracking of nested queries
This commit reverts the two following commits:
- 499edb0974, track more precisely query locations for nested
statements.
- 06450c7b8c, a follow-up fix of 499edb0974 with query locations.
The test introduced in this commit is not reverted.  This is proving
useful to track a problem that only pgaudit was able to detect.

These prove to have issues with the tracking of SELECT statements, when
these use multiple parenthesis which is something supported by the
grammar.  Incorrect location and lengths are causing pg_stat_statements
to become confused, failing its job in query normalization with
potential out-of-bound writes because the location and the length may
not match with what can be handled.  A lot of the query patterns
discussed when this issue was reported have no test coverage in the main
regression test suite, or the recovery test 027_stream_regress.pl would
have caught the problems as pg_stat_statements is loaded by the node
running the regression tests.  A first step would be to improve the test
coverage to stress more the query normalization logic.

A different portion of this work was done in 45e0ba30fc, with the
addition of tests for nested queries.  These can be left in the tree.
They are useful to track the way inner queries are currently tracked by
PGSS with non-top-level entries, and will be useful when reconsidering
in the future the work reverted here.

06450c7b8c Fix regression with location calculation of nested statements
The statement location calculated for some nested query cases was wrong
when multiple queries are sent as a single string, these being separated
by semicolons.  As pointed by Sami Imseih, the location calculation was
incorrect when the last query of nested statement with multiple queries
does **NOT** finish with a semicolon for the last statement.  In this
case, the statement length tracked by RawStmt is 0, which is equivalent
to say that the string should be used until its end.  The code
previously discarded this case entirely, causing the location to remain
at 0, the same as pointing at the beginning of the string.  This caused
pg_stat_statements to store incorrect query strings.

This issue has been introduced in 499edb0974.  I have looked at the
diffs generated by pgaudit back then, and noticed the difference
generated for this nested query case, but I have missed the point that
it was an actual regression with an existing case.  A test case is added
in pg_stat_statements to provide some coverage, restoring the pre-17
behavior for the calculation of the query locations.  Special thanks to
David Steele, who, through an analysis of the test diffs generated by
pgaudit with the new v18 logic, has poked me about the fact that my
original analysis of the matter was wrong.

The test output of pg_overexplain is updated to reflect the new logic,
as the new locations refer to the beginning of the argument passed to
the function explain_filter().  When the module was introduced in
8d5ceb113e, which was after 499edb0974 (for the new calculation
method), the locations of the test were not actually right: the plan
generated for the query string given in input of the function pointed to
the top-level query, not the nested one.

fe29b2a1da Fix Assert failure in XMLTABLE parser
In an XMLTABLE expression, columns can be marked NOT NULL, and the
parser internally fabricates an option named "is_not_null" to
represent this.  However, the parser also allows users to specify
arbitrary option names.  This creates a conflict: a user can
explicitly use "is_not_null" as an option name and assign it a
non-Boolean value, which violates internal assumptions and triggers an
assertion failure.

To fix, this patch checks whether a user-supplied name collides with
the internally reserved option name and raises an error if so.
Additionally, the internal name is renamed to "__pg__is_not_null" to
further reduce the risk of collision with user-defined names.

Allow NOT NULL constraints to be added as NOT VALID
This allows them to be added without scanning the table, and validating
them afterwards without holding access exclusive lock on the table after
any violating rows have been deleted or fixed.

Doing ALTER TABLE ... SET NOT NULL for a column that has an invalid
not-null constraint validates that constraint.  ALTER TABLE .. VALIDATE
CONSTRAINT is also supported.  There are various checks on whether an
invalid constraint is allowed in a child table when the parent table has
a valid constraint; this should match what we do for enforced/not
enforced constraints.

pg_attribute.attnotnull is now only an indicator for whether a not-null
constraint exists for the column; whether it's valid or invalid must be
queried in pg_constraint.  Applications can continue to query
pg_attribute.attnotnull as before, but now it's possible that NULL rows
are present in the column even when that's set to true.

For backend internal purposes, we cache the nullability status in
CompactAttribute->attnullability that each tuple descriptor carries
(replacing CompactAttribute.attnotnull, which was a mirror of
Form_pg_attribute.attnotnull).  During the initial tuple descriptor
creation, based on the pg_attribute scan, we set this to UNRESTRICTED if
pg_attribute.attnotnull is false, or to UNKNOWN if it's true; then we
update the latter to VALID or INVALID depending on the pg_constraint
scan.  This flag is also copied when tupledescs are copied.

Comparing tuple descs for equality must also compare the
CompactAttribute.attnullability flag and return false in case of a
mismatch.

pg_dump deals with these constraints by storing the OIDs of invalid
not-null constraints in a separate array, and running a query to obtain
their properties.  The regular table creation SQL omits them entirely.
They are then dealt with in the same way as "separate" CHECK
constraints, and dumped after the data has been loaded.  Because no
additional pg_dump infrastructure was required, we don't bump its
version number.

I decided not to bump catversion either, because the old catalog state
works perfectly in the new world.  (Trying to run with new catalog state
and the old server version would likely run into issues, however.)

System catalogs do not support invalid not-null constraints (because
commit 14e87ffa5c didn't allow them to have pg_constraint rows
anyway.)

requirement for btree was hardcoded but an amcanorder index could

APIs so that this works independent of btree strategy numbers.  For
instance, non-btree amcanorder indexes can now be used to support
sorting and merge joins.  Also, predtest.c works independent of btree
strategy numbers now.

To avoid performance regressions, some details on btree and other
built-in index types are still hardcoded as shortcuts, but other index
types now have access to the same features by providing the required
flags and callbacks.

691836405f Fix parse_cte.c's failure to examine sub-WITHs in DML statements.
makeDependencyGraphWalker thought that only SelectStmt nodes could
contain a WithClause.  Which was true in our original implementation
of WITH, but astonishingly we missed updating this code when we added
the ability to attach WITH to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (and later MERGE).
Moreover, since it was coded to deliberately block recursion to a
WithClause, even updating raw_expression_tree_walker didn't save it.

The upshot of this was that we didn't see references to outer CTE
names appearing within an inner WITH, and would neither complain about
disallowed recursion nor account for such references when sorting CTEs
into a usable order.  The lack of complaints about this is perhaps not
so surprising, because typical usage of WITH wouldn't hit either case.
Still, it's pretty broken; failing to detect recursion here leads to
assert failures or worse later on.

Fix by factoring out the processing of sub-WITHs into a new function
WalkInnerWith, and invoking that for all the statement types that
can have WITH.

0dca5d68d7 Change SQL-language functions to use the plan cache.
In the historical implementation of SQL functions (if they don't get
inlined), we built plans for all the contained queries at first call
within an outer query, and then re-used those plans for the duration
of the outer query, and then forgot everything.  This was not ideal,
not least because the plans could not be customized to specific values
of the function's parameters.  Our plancache infrastructure seems
mature enough to be used here.  That will solve both the problem with
not being able to build custom plans and the problem with not being
able to share work across successive outer queries.

Aside from those performance concerns, this change fixes a
longstanding bugaboo with SQL functions: you could not write DDL that
would affect later statements in the same function.  That's mostly
still true with new-style SQL functions, since the results of parse
analysis are baked into the stored query trees (and protected by
dependency records).  But for old-style SQL functions, it will now
work much as it does with PL/pgSQL functions, because we delay parse
analysis and planning of each query until we're ready to run it.
Some edge cases that require replanning are now handled better too;
see for example the new rowsecurity test, where we now detect an RLS
context change that was previously missed.

One other edge-case change that might be worthy of a release note
is that we now insist that a SQL function's result be generated
by the physically-last query within it.  Previously, if the last
original query was deleted by a DO INSTEAD NOTHING rule, we'd be
willing to take the result from the preceding query instead.
This behavior was undocumented except in source-code comments,
and it seems hard to believe that anyone's relying on it.

Along the way to this feature, we needed a few infrastructure changes:

* The plancache can now take either a raw parse tree or an
analyzed-but-not-rewritten Query as the starting point for a
CachedPlanSource.  If given a Query, it is caller's responsibility
that nothing will happen to invalidate that form of the query.
We use this for new-style SQL functions, where what's in pg_proc is
serialized Query(s) and we trust the dependency mechanism to disallow
DDL that would break those.

* The plancache now offers a way to invoke a post-rewrite callback
to examine/modify the rewritten parse tree when it is rebuilding
the parse trees after a cache invalidation.  We need this because
SQL functions sometimes adjust the parse tree to make its output
exactly match the declared result type; if the plan gets rebuilt,
that has to be re-done.

* There is a new backend module utils/cache/funccache.c that
abstracts the idea of caching data about a specific function

eec0040c4b Add support for NOT ENFORCED in foreign key constraints
This expands the NOT ENFORCED constraint flag, previously only
supported for CHECK constraints (commit ca87c415e2), to foreign key
constraints.

Normally, when a foreign key constraint is created on a table, action
and check triggers are added to maintain data integrity.  With this
patch, if a constraint is marked as NOT ENFORCED, integrity checks are
no longer required, making these triggers unnecessary.  Consequently,
when creating a NOT ENFORCED foreign key constraint, triggers will not
be created, and the constraint will be marked as NOT VALID.
Similarly, if an existing foreign key constraint is changed to NOT
ENFORCED, the associated triggers will be dropped, and the constraint
will also be marked as NOT VALID.  Conversely, if a NOT ENFORCED
foreign key constraint is changed to ENFORCED, the necessary triggers
will be created, and the will be changed to VALID by performing
necessary validation.

Since not-enforced foreign key constraints have no triggers, the
shortcut used for example in psql and pg_dump to skip looking for
foreign keys if the relation is known not to have triggers no longer
applies.  (It already didn't work for partitioned tables.)

4618045bee Fix ARRAY_SUBLINK and ARRAY[] for int2vector and oidvector input.
If the given input_type yields valid results from both
get_element_type and get_array_type, initArrayResultAny believed the
former and treated the input as an array type.  However this is
inconsistent with what get_promoted_array_type does, leading to
situations where the output of an ARRAY() subquery is labeled with
the wrong type: it's labeled as oidvector[] but is really a 2-D
array of OID.  That at least results in strange output, and can
result in crashes if further processing such as unnest() is applied.
AFAIK this is only possible with the int2vector and oidvector
types, which are special-cased to be treated mostly as true arrays
even though they aren't quite.

Fix by switching the logic to match get_promoted_array_type by
testing get_array_type not get_element_type, and remove an Assert
thereby made pointless.  (We need not introduce a symmetrical
check for get_element_type in the other if-branch, because
initArrayResultArr will check it.)  This restores the behavior
that existed before bac27394a introduced initArrayResultAny:
the output really is int2vector[] or oidvector[].

Comparable confusion exists when an input of an ARRAY[] construct
is int2vector or oidvector: transformArrayExpr decides it's dealing
with a multidimensional array constructor, and we end up with
something that's a multidimensional OID array but is alleged to be
of type oidvector.  I have not found a crashing case here, but it's
easy to demonstrate totally-wrong results.  Adjust that code so
that what you get is an oidvector[] instead, for consistency with
ARRAY() subqueries.  (This change also makes these types work like
domains-over-arrays in this context, which seems correct.)

This doesn't work because record_recv requires the typmod that

array_agg_deserialize has no convenient way to get that information.
The result is an "input of anonymous composite types is not

We could probably make this work if we had to, but it does not seem
worth the trouble, given that it took this long to get a field report.

I (Álvaro) took the liberty of restructuring the code for ALTER
CONSTRAINT beyond what Amul did.  The original coding before Amul's
patch was unnecessarily baroque, and this change makes things simpler
by removing one level of subroutine.  Also, partly remove the assumption
that only partitioned tables are relevant (by passing sensible 'recurse'
arguments) and no longer ignore whether ONLY was specified.  I say
'partly' because the current coding only walks down via the 'conparentid'
relationship, which is only used for partitioned tables; but future

83ea6c5402 Virtual generated columns
This adds a new variant of generated columns that are computed on read
(like a view, unlike the existing stored generated columns, which are
computed on write, like a materialized view).

The syntax for the column definition is

    ... GENERATED ALWAYS AS (...) VIRTUAL

and VIRTUAL is also optional.  VIRTUAL is the default rather than
STORED to match various other SQL products.  (The SQL standard makes
no specification about this, but it also doesn't know about VIRTUAL or
STORED.)  (Also, virtual views are the default, rather than
materialized views.)

Virtual generated columns are stored in tuples as null values.  (A
very early version of this patch had the ambition to not store them at
all.  But so much stuff breaks or gets confused if you have tuples
where a column in the middle is completely missing.  This is a
compromise, and it still saves space over being forced to use stored
generated columns.  If we ever find a way to improve this, a bit of
pg_upgrade cleverness could allow for upgrades to a newer scheme.)

The capabilities and restrictions of virtual generated columns are
mostly the same as for stored generated columns.  In some cases, this
patch keeps virtual generated columns more restricted than they might
technically need to be, to keep the two kinds consistent.  Some of
that could maybe be relaxed later after separate careful
considerations.

Some functionality that is currently not supported, but could possibly
be added as incremental features, some easier than others:

- index on or using a virtual column
- hence also no unique constraints on virtual columns
- extended statistics on virtual columns
- foreign-key constraints on virtual columns
- not-null constraints on virtual columns (check constraints are supported)
- ALTER TABLE / DROP EXPRESSION
- virtual column cannot have domain type
- virtual columns are not supported in logical replication

The tests in generated_virtual.sql have been copied over from
generated_stored.sql with the keyword replaced.  This way we can make
sure the behavior is mostly aligned, and the differences can be
visible.  Some tests for currently not supported features are
currently commented out.

ba0da16bd0 Require callers of coerce_to_domain() to supply base type/typmod.
In view of the issue fixed in commit 0da39aa76, it no longer seems
like a great idea for coerce_to_domain() to offer to perform a lookup
that its caller probably should have done already.  The caller should
be providing a value of the domain's base type, so it's hard to
envision a valid case where it hasn't looked up that type.  After
0da39aa76 there is only one caller using the option for internal
lookup, and that one can trivially be rearranged to not do that.
So this seems more like a bug-encouraging misfeature than a useful
shortcut; let's get rid of it (in HEAD only, there's no need to
break any external callers in back branches).

0da39aa766 Handle default NULL insertion a little better.
If a column is omitted in an INSERT, and there's no column default,
the code in preptlist.c generates a NULL Const to be inserted.
Furthermore, if the column is of a domain type, we wrap the Const
in CoerceToDomain, so as to throw a run-time error if the domain
has a NOT NULL constraint.  That's fine as far as it goes, but
there are two problems:

1. We're being sloppy about the type/typmod that the Const is
labeled with.  It really should have the domain's base type/typmod,
since it's the input to CoerceToDomain not the output.  This can
result in coerce_to_domain inserting a useless length-coercion
function (useless because it's being applied to a null).  The
coercion would typically get const-folded away later, but it'd
be better not to create it in the first place.

2. We're not applying expression preprocessing (specifically,
eval_const_expressions) to the resulting expression tree.
The planner's primary expression-preprocessing pass already happened,
so that means the length coercion step and CoerceToDomain node miss
preprocessing altogether.

This is at the least inefficient, since it means the length coercion
and CoerceToDomain will actually be executed for each inserted row,
though they could be const-folded away in most cases.  Worse, it
seems possible that missing preprocessing for the length coercion
could result in an invalid plan (for example, due to failing to
perform default-function-argument insertion).  I'm not aware of
any live bug of that sort with core datatypes, and it might be
unreachable for extension types as well because of restrictions of
CREATE CAST, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's unreachable.
Hence, it seems worth back-patching the fix (although I only went
back to v14, as the patch doesn't apply cleanly at all in v13).

There are several places in the rewriter that are building null
domain constants the same way as preptlist.c.  While those are
before the planner and hence don't have any reachable bug, they're
still applying a length coercion that will be const-folded away
later, uselessly wasting cycles.  Hence, make a utility routine
that all of these places can call to do it right.

Making this code more careful about the typmod assigned to the
generated NULL constant has visible but cosmetic effects on some
of the plans shown in contrib/postgres_fdw's regression tests.

80feb727c8 Add OLD/NEW support to RETURNING in DML queries.
This allows the RETURNING list of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE queries
to explicitly return old and new values by using the special aliases
"old" and "new", which are automatically added to the query (if not
already defined) while parsing its RETURNING list, allowing things
like:

  RETURNING old.colname, new.colname, ...

  RETURNING old.*, new.*

Additionally, a new syntax is supported, allowing the names "old" and
"new" to be changed to user-supplied alias names, e.g.:

  RETURNING WITH (OLD AS o, NEW AS n) o.colname, n.colname, ...

This is useful when the names "old" and "new" are already defined,
such as inside trigger functions, allowing backwards compatibility to
be maintained -- the interpretation of any existing queries that
happen to already refer to relations called "old" or "new", or use
those as aliases for other relations, is not changed.

For an INSERT, old values will generally be NULL, and for a DELETE,
new values will generally be NULL, but that may change for an INSERT
with an ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE clause, or if a query rewrite rule
changes the command type. Therefore, we put no restrictions on the use
of old and new in any DML queries.

Add pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints
We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints on
user tables.  Only one such constraint is allowed for a column.

We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as
adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and
creating tables LIKE other tables.  These related constraints mostly
follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have
for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to
CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending
a hierarchy to alter or remove it, instead matching by the name of the
column that they apply to.  This means we don't require the constraint
names to be identical across a hierarchy.

The inheritance status of these constraints can be controlled: now we
can be sure that if a parent table has one, then all children will have
it as well.  They can optionally be marked NO INHERIT, and then children
are free not to have one.  (There's currently no support for altering a
NO INHERIT constraint into inheriting down the hierarchy, but that's a
desirable future feature.)

This also opens the door for having these constraints be marked NOT
VALID, as well as allowing UNIQUE+NOT NULL to be used for functional
dependency determination, as envisioned by commit e49ae8d3bc.  It's
likely possible to allow DEFERRABLE constraints as followup work, as
well.

psql shows these constraints in \d+, though we may want to reconsider if
this turns out to be too noisy.  Earlier versions of this patch hid
constraints that were on the same columns of the primary key, but I'm
not sure that that's very useful.  If clutter is a problem, we might be
better off inventing a new \d++ command and not showing the constraints
in \d+.

For now, we omit these constraints on system catalog columns, because
they're unlikely to achieve anything.

The main difference to the previous attempt at this (b0e96f3119) is
that we now require that such a constraint always exists when a primary
key is in the column; we didn't require this previously which had a
number of unpalatable consequences.  With this requirement, the code is
easier to reason about.  For example:

- We no longer have "throwaway constraints" during pg_dump.  We needed
  those for the case where a table had a PK without a not-null
  underneath, to prevent a slow scan of the data during restore of the
  PK creation, which was particularly problematic for pg_upgrade.

- We no longer have to cope with attnotnull being set spuriously in
  case a primary key is dropped indirectly (e.g., via DROP COLUMN).

2d8bff603c Make all ereport() calls within gram.y provide error locations.
This patch responds to a comment that I (tgl) made in the
discussion leading up to 774171c4f, that really all errors
occurring during raw parsing should provide error cursors.
Syntax errors reported by Bison will have one, and most of
the handwritten ereport's in gram.y already provide one,
but there were a few stragglers.

(It is not claimed that this handles every failure reachable
during raw parsing --- out-of-memory is an obvious exception.
But this makes a good start on cases that are likely to occur.)

While we're at it, clean up the reported positions for errors
associated with LIMIT/OFFSET clauses.  Previously we were
relying on applying exprLocation() to the contained expressions,
but that leads to slightly odd cursor placement, e.g.

regression=# (select * from foo limit 10) limit 10;
ERROR:  multiple LIMIT clauses not allowed
LINE 1: (select * from foo limit 10) limit 10;
                                           ^

We can afford to keep a little more state in the transient
SelectLimit structs in order to make that better.

499edb0974 Track more precisely query locations for nested statements
Previously, a Query generated through the transform phase would have
unset stmt_location, tracking the starting point of a query string.

Extensions relying on the statement location to extract its relevant
parts in the source text string would fallback to use the whole
statement instead, leading to confusing results like in
pg_stat_statements for queries relying on nested queries, like:
- EXPLAIN, with top-level and nested query using the same query string,
and a query ID coming from the nested query when the non-top-level
entry.
- Multi-statements, with only partial portions of queries being
normalized.
- COPY TO with a query, SELECT or DMLs.

This patch improves things by keeping track of the statement locations
and propagate it to Query during transform, allowing PGSS to only show
the relevant part of the query for nested query.  This leads to less
bloat in entries for non-top-level entries, as queries can now be
grouped within the same (toplevel, queryid) duos in pg_stat_statements.
The result gives a stricter one-one mapping between query IDs and its
query strings.

The regression tests introduced in 45e0ba30fc produce differences
reflecting the new logic.

14e5680eee Improve parser's reporting of statement start locations.
Up to now, the parser's reporting of a statement's stmt_location
included any preceding whitespace or comments.  This isn't really
desirable but was done to avoid accounting honestly for nonterminals
that reduce to empty.  It causes problems for pg_stat_statements,
which partially compensates by manually stripping whitespace, but
is not bright enough to strip /*-style comments.  There will be
more problems with an upcoming patch to improve reporting of errors
in extension scripts, so it's time to do something about this.

The thing we have to do to make it work right is to adjust
YYLLOC_DEFAULT to scan the inputs of each production to find the
first one that has a valid location (i.e., did not reduce to
empty).  In theory this adds a little bit of per-reduction overhead,
but in practice it's negligible.  I checked by measuring the time
to run raw_parser() on the contents of information_schema.sql, and
there was basically no change.

Having done that, we can rely on any nonterminal that didn't reduce
to completely empty to have a correct starting location, and we don't
need the kluges the stmtmulti production formerly used.

This should have a side benefit of allowing parse error reports to
include an error position in some cases where they formerly failed to
do so, due to trying to report the position of an empty nonterminal.
I did not go looking for an example though.  The one previously known
case where that could happen (OptSchemaEltList) no longer needs the
kluge it had; but I rather doubt that that was the only case.

dc68515968 Show values of SET statements as constants in pg_stat_statements
This is a continuation of work like 11c34b342b, done to reduce the
bloat of pg_stat_statements by applying more normalization to query
entries.  This commit is able to detect and normalize values in
VariableSetStmt, resulting in:
SET conf_param = $1

Compared to other parse nodes, VariableSetStmt is embedded in much more
places in the parser, impacting many query patterns in
pg_stat_statements.  A custom jumble function is used, with an extra
field in the node to decide if arguments should be included in the
jumbling or not, a location field being not enough for this purpose.
This approach allows for a finer tuning.

Clauses relying on one or more keywords are not normalized, for example:
* DEFAULT
* FROM CURRENT
* List of keywords.  SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION,
where it is critical to differentiate different sets of options, is a
good example of why normalization should not happen.

Some queries use VariableSetStmt for some subclauses with SET, that also
have their values normalized:
- ALTER DATABASE
- ALTER ROLE
- ALTER SYSTEM
- CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION

ba90eac7a9 has added test coverage for most of the existing SET
patterns.  The expected output of these tests shows the difference this
commit creates.  Normalization could be perhaps applied to more portions
of the grammar but what is done here is conservative, and good enough as
a starting point.

62ddf7ee9a Add ONLY support for VACUUM and ANALYZE
Since autovacuum does not trigger an ANALYZE for partitioned tables,
users must perform these manually.  However, performing a manual ANALYZE
on a partitioned table would always result in recursively analyzing each
partition and that could be undesirable as autovacuum takes care of that.
For partitioned tables that contain a large number of partitions, having
to analyze each partition could take an unreasonably long time, especially
so for tables with a large number of columns.

Here we allow the ONLY keyword to prefix the name of the table to allow
users to have ANALYZE skip processing partitions.  This option can also
be used with VACUUM, but there is no work to do if VACUUM ONLY is used on
a partitioned table.

This commit also changes the behavior of VACUUM	and ANALYZE for
inheritance parents.  Previously inheritance child tables would not be
processed when operating on the parent.  Now, by default we *do* operate
on the child tables.  ONLY can be used to obtain the old behavior.
The release notes should note this as an incompatibility.  The default
behavior has not changed for partitioned tables as these always
recursively processed the partitions.

918e21d251 Repair pg_upgrade for identity sequences with non-default persistence.
Since we introduced unlogged sequences in v15, identity sequences
have defaulted to having the same persistence as their owning table.
However, it is possible to change that with ALTER SEQUENCE, and
pg_dump tries to preserve the logged-ness of sequences when it doesn't
match (as indeed it wouldn't for an unlogged table from before v15).

The fly in the ointment is that ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED fails
in binary-upgrade mode, because it needs to assign a new relfilenode
which we cannot permit in that mode.  Thus, trying to pg_upgrade a
database containing a mismatching identity sequence failed.

To fix, add syntax to ADD/ALTER COLUMN GENERATED AS IDENTITY to allow
the sequence's persistence to be set correctly at creation, and use
that instead of ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED in pg_dump.  (I tried to
make SET [UN]LOGGED work without any pg_dump modifications, but that
seems too fragile to be a desirable answer.  This way should be
markedly faster anyhow.)

In passing, document the previously-undocumented SEQUENCE NAME option
that pg_dump also relies on for identity sequences; I see no value
in trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

Per bug #18618 from Anthony Hsu.

fc0438b4e8 Add temporal PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints
Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints.
These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they
are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of
the key and && for the temporal part.

(previously committed as 46a0cd4cef, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new
part is this:)

Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint
allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal
expectations.  For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional
dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the
table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value
from any of their rows.  So we need to forbid empties.

This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and
multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above).
Documentation and tests for this are added.  But this could
conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for
the notion of "empty" for other types.

77761ee5dd Remove incorrect Assert.
check_agglevels_and_constraints() asserted that if we find an
aggregate function in an EXPR_KIND_FROM_SUBSELECT expression, the
expression must be in a LATERAL subquery.  Alexander Lakhin found a
case where that's not so: because of the odd scoping rules for NEW/OLD
within a rule, a reference to NEW/OLD could cause an aggregate to be
considered top-level even though it's in an unmarked sub-select.
The error message that would be thrown seems sufficiently on-point,
so just remove the Assert.  (Hence, this is not a bug for production
builds.)

This Assert was added by me in commit eaccfded9 (9.3 era).  It looks
like I put it in to cross-check that the new logic for detecting
misplaced aggregates (using agglevelsup) caught the same cases that a
previous check on p_lateral_active did.  So there might have been some
related misbehavior before eaccfded9 ... but that's very ancient
history by now, so I didn't dig any deeper.

f5050f795a Mark expressions nullable by grouping sets
When generating window_pathkeys, distinct_pathkeys, or sort_pathkeys,
we failed to realize that the grouping/ordering expressions might be
nullable by grouping sets.  As a result, we may incorrectly deem that
the PathKeys are redundant by EquivalenceClass processing and thus
remove them from the pathkeys list.  That would lead to wrong results
in some cases.

To fix this issue, we mark the grouping expressions nullable by
grouping sets if that is the case.  If the grouping expression is a
Var or PlaceHolderVar or constructed from those, we can just add the
RT index of the RTE_GROUP RTE to the existing nullingrels field(s);
otherwise we have to add a PlaceHolderVar to carry on the nullingrel
bit.

However, we have to manually remove this nullingrel bit from
expressions in various cases where these expressions are logically
below the grouping step, such as when we generate groupClause pathkeys
for grouping sets, or when we generate PathTarget for initial input to
grouping nodes.

Furthermore, in set_upper_references, the targetlist and quals of an
Agg node should have nullingrels that include the effects of the
grouping step, ie they will have nullingrels equal to the input
Vars/PHVs' nullingrels plus the nullingrel bit that references the
grouping RTE.  In order to perform exact nullingrels matches, we also
need to manually remove this nullingrel bit.

Bump catversion because this changes the querytree produced by the
parser.

Thanks to Tom Lane for the idea to invent a new kind of RTE.

247dea89f7 Introduce an RTE for the grouping step
If there are subqueries in the grouping expressions, each of these
subqueries in the targetlist and HAVING clause is expanded into
distinct SubPlan nodes.  As a result, only one of these SubPlan nodes
would be converted to reference to the grouping key column output by
the Agg node; others would have to get evaluated afresh.  This is not
efficient, and with grouping sets this can cause wrong results issues
in cases where they should go to NULL because they are from the wrong
grouping set.  Furthermore, during re-evaluation, these SubPlan nodes
might use nulled column values from grouping sets, which is not
correct.

This issue is not limited to subqueries.  For other types of
expressions that are part of grouping items, if they are transformed
into another form during preprocessing, they may fail to match lower
target items.  This can also lead to wrong results with grouping sets.

To fix this issue, we introduce a new kind of RTE representing the
output of the grouping step, with columns that are the Vars or
expressions being grouped on.  In the parser, we replace the grouping
expressions in the targetlist and HAVING clause with Vars referencing
this new RTE, so that the output of the parser directly expresses the
semantic requirement that the grouping expressions be gotten from the
grouping output rather than computed some other way.  In the planner,
we first preprocess all the columns of this new RTE and then replace
any Vars in the targetlist and HAVING clause that reference this new
RTE with the underlying grouping expressions, so that we will have
only one instance of a SubPlan node for each subquery contained in the
grouping expressions.

parser.

fadff3fc94 Prevent mis-encoding of "trailing junk after numeric literal" errors.
Since commit 2549f0661, we reject an identifier immediately following
a numeric literal (without separating whitespace), because that risks
ambiguity with hex/octal/binary integers.  However, that patch used
token patterns like "{integer}{ident_start}", which is problematic
because {ident_start} matches only a single byte.  If the first
character after the integer is a multibyte character, this ends up
with flex reporting an error message that includes a partial multibyte
character.  That can cause assorted bad-encoding problems downstream,
both in the report to the client and in the postmaster log file.

To fix, use {identifier} not {ident_start} in the "junk" token
patterns, so that they will match complete multibyte characters.
This seems generally better user experience quite aside from the
encoding problem: for "123abc" the error message will now say that
the error appeared at or near "123abc" instead of "123a".

While at it, add some commentary about why these patterns exist
and how they work.

Refactor/reword some error messages to avoid duplicates
Also, remove brackets around "EMPTY [ ARRAY ]".  An error message is
not the place to state that a keyword is optional.

Backpatch to 17.

a292c98d62 Convert node test compile-time settings into run-time parameters
This converts

    COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES
    WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES
    RAW_EXPRESSION_COVERAGE_TEST

into run-time parameters

    debug_copy_parse_plan_trees
    debug_write_read_parse_plan_trees
    debug_raw_expression_coverage_test

They can be activated for tests using PG_TEST_INITDB_EXTRA_OPTS.

The compile-time symbols are kept for build farm compatibility, but
they now just determine the default value of the run-time settings.

Furthermore, support for these settings is not compiled in at all
unless assertions are enabled, or the new symbol
DEBUG_NODE_TESTS_ENABLED is defined at compile time, or any of the
legacy compile-time setting symbols are defined.  So there is no
run-time overhead in production builds.  (This is similar to the
handling of DISCARD_CACHES_ENABLED.)

74c96699be SQL/JSON: Some fixes to JsonBehavior expression casting
1. Remove the special case handling when casting the JsonBehavior
   expressions to types with typmod, like 86d33987 did for the casting
   of SQL/JSON constructor functions.

2. Fix casting for fixed-length character and bit string types by
   using assignment-level casts.  This is again similar to what
   86d33987 did, but for ON ERROR / EMPTY expressions.

3. Use runtime coercion for the boolean ON ERROR constants so that
   using fixed-length character string types, for example, for an
   EXISTS column doesn't cause a "value too long for type
   character(n)" when the parser tries to coerce the default ON ERROR
   value "false" to that type, that is, even when clause is not
   specified.

4. Simplify the conditions of when to use runtime coercion vs
   creating the cast expression in the parser itself.  jsonb-valued
   expressions are now always coerced at runtime and boolean
   expressions too if the target type is a string type for the
   reasons mentioned above.

Tests are taken from a patch that Jian He posted.

86d33987e8 SQL/JSON: Rethink c2d93c3802
This essentially reverts c2d93c3802 except tests. The problem with
c2d93c3802 was that it only changed the casting behavior for types
with typmod, and had coding issues noted in the post-commit review.

This commit changes coerceJsonFuncExpr() to use assignment-level casts
instead of explicit casts to coerce the result of JSON constructor
functions to the specified or the default RETURNING type.  Using
assignment-level casts fixes the problem that using explicit casts was
leading to the wrong typmod / length coercion behavior -- truncating
results longer than the specified length instead of erroring out --
which c2d93c3802 aimed to solve.

That restricts the set of allowed target types to string types, the
same set that's currently allowed.

f96c2c7278 Avoid unhelpful internal error for incorrect recursive-WITH queries.
checkWellFormedRecursion would issue "missing recursive reference"
if a WITH RECURSIVE query contained a single self-reference but
that self-reference was inside a top-level WITH, ORDER BY, LIMIT,
etc, rather than inside the second arm of the UNION as expected.
We already intended to throw more-on-point errors for such cases,
but those error checks must be done before examining the UNION arm
in order to have the desired results.  So this patch need only
move some code (and improve the comments).

Per bug #18536 from Alexander Lakhin.  Back-patch to all supported
branches.

3a8a1f3254 SQL/JSON: Fix some obsolete comments.
JSON_OBJECT(), JSON_OBJETAGG(), JSON_ARRAY(), and JSON_ARRAYAGG()
added in 7081ac46ac are not transformed into direct calls to
user-defined functions as the comments claim. Fix by mentioning
instead that they are transformed into JsonConstructorExpr nodes,
which may call them, for example, for the *AGG() functions.
