26f9012bee Make cast function from circle to polygon error safe
Previously, the function casting type circle to type polygon could not
be made error safe, because it is an SQL language function.

This refactors it as a C/internal function, by sharing code with the
C/internal function that the SQL function previously wrapped, and soft
error support is added.

f16f5d608c GetSubscription(): use per-object memory context.
Constructing a Subcription object uses a number of small or temporary
allocations. Use a per-object memory context for easy cleanup.

Get rid of FreeSubscription() which did not free all the allocations
anyway. Also get rid of the PG_TRY()/PG_CATCH() logic in
ForeignServerConnectionString() which were used to avoid leaks during
GetSubscription().

Don't include storage/lock.h in so many headers
Since storage/locktags.h was added by commit 322bab7974, many headers
can be made leaner by depending on that instead of on storage/lock.h,
which has many other dependencies.

(In fact, some of these changes were possible even before that.)

4019f725f5 Add support for lock statistics in pgstats
This commit adds a new stats kind, called PGSTAT_KIND_LOCK, implementing
statistics for lock tags, as reported by pg_locks.  The implementation
is fixed-sized, as the data is caped based on the number of lock tags in
LockTagType.

The new statistics kind records the following fields, providing insight
regarding lock behavior, while avoiding impact on performance-critical
code paths (such as fast-path lock acquisition):
- waits and wait_time: respectively track the number of times a lock
required waiting and the total time spent acquiring it.  These metrics
are only collected once a lock is successfully acquired and after
deadlock_timeout has been exceeded.
fastpath_exceeded: counts how often a lock could not be acquired via
the fast path due to the max_locks_per_transaction slot limits.

A new view called pg_stat_lock can be used to access this data, coupled
with a SQL function called pg_stat_get_lock().

Bump stat file format PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.
Bump catalog version.

493f8c6439 Add support for EXCEPT TABLE in ALTER PUBLICATION.
Following commit fd366065e0, which added EXCEPT TABLE support to
CREATE PUBLICATION, this commit extends ALTER PUBLICATION to allow
modifying the exclusion list.

New Syntax:
ALTER PUBLICATION name SET  publication_all_object [, ... ]

where publication_all_object is one of:
ALL TABLES [ EXCEPT TABLE ( except_table_object [, ... ] ) ]
ALL SEQUENCES

If the EXCEPT clause is provided, the existing exclusion list in
pg_publication_rel is replaced with the specified relations. If the
EXCEPT clause is omitted, any existing exclusions for the publication
are cleared. Similarly, SET ALL SEQUENCES updates

Note that because this is a SET command, specifying only one object
type (e.g., SET ALL SEQUENCES) will reset the other unspecified flags
(e.g., setting puballtables to false).

Consistent with CREATE PUBLICATION, only root partitioned tables or
standard tables can be specified in the EXCEPT list. Specifying a
partition child will result in an error.

dd1398f137 Allow choosing specific grantors via GRANT/REVOKE ... GRANTED BY.
Except for GRANT and REVOKE on roles, the GRANTED BY clause
currently only accepts the current role to match the SQL standard.
And even if an acceptable grantor (i.e., the current role) is
specified, Postgres ignores it and chooses the "best" grantor for
the command.  Allowing the user to select a specific grantor would
allow better control over the precise behavior of GRANT/REVOKE
statements.  This commit adds that ability.  For consistency with
select_best_grantor(), we only permit choosing grantor roles for
which the current role inherits privileges.

cleaning up some APIs to take advantage of this improved qualifier
handling.  EventTriggerCollectSimpleCommand() is a good example: It
takes a node tree and makes a copy that it keeps around for its

2f094e7ac6 SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ)
Implementation of SQL property graph queries, according to SQL/PGQ
standard (ISO/IEC 9075-16:2023).

This adds:

- GRAPH_TABLE table function for graph pattern matching
- DDL commands CREATE/ALTER/DROP PROPERTY GRAPH
- several new system catalogs and information schema views
- psql \dG command
- pg_get_propgraphdef() function for pg_dump and psql

A property graph is a relation with a new relkind RELKIND_PROPGRAPH.
It acts like a view in many ways.  It is rewritten to a standard
relational query in the rewriter.  Access privileges act similar to a
security invoker view.  (The security definer variant is not currently
implemented.)

Starting documentation can be found in doc/src/sgml/ddl.sgml and
doc/src/sgml/queries.sgml.

In this commit, TupleDescFinalize() does nothing. This change has only

to make the change more obvious.  Any extension which makes its own
TupleDesc will need to be modified to call the new function.

The follow-up commit which properly implements TupleDescFinalize() will
cause any code which forgets to do this to fail in assert-enabled builds in
BlessTupleDesc().  It may still be worth mentioning this change in the
release notes so that extension authors update their code.

Introduce the REPACK command
REPACK absorbs the functionality of VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER in a single
command.  Because this functionality is completely different from
regular VACUUM, having it separate from VACUUM makes it easier for users
to understand; as for CLUSTER, the term is heavily overloaded in the
IT world and even in Postgres itself, so it's good that we can avoid it.

We retain those older commands, but de-emphasize them in the
documentation, in favor of REPACK; the difference between VACUUM FULL
and CLUSTER (namely, the fact that tuples are written in a specific
ordering) is neatly absorbed as two different modes of REPACK.

This allows us to introduce further functionality in the future that
works regardless of whether an ordering is being applied, such as (and
especially) a concurrent mode.

01d485b142 Add system view pg_stat_recovery
This commit introduces pg_stat_recovery, that exposes at SQL level the
state of recovery as tracked by XLogRecoveryCtlData in shared memory,
maintained by the startup process.  This new view includes the following
fields, that are useful for monitoring purposes on a standby, once it
has reached a consistent state (making the execution of the SQL function
possible):
- Last-successfully replayed WAL record LSN boundaries and its timeline.
- Currently replaying WAL record end LSN and its timeline.
- Current WAL chunk start time.
- Promotion trigger state.
- Timestamp of latest processed commit/abort.
- Recovery pause state.

Some of this data can already be recovered from different system
functions, but not all of it.  See pg_get_wal_replay_pause_state or
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp.  This new view offers a stronger
consistency guarantee, by grabbing the recovery state for all fields
through one spinlock acquisition.

The system view relies on a new function, called pg_stat_get_recovery().
Querying this data requires the pg_read_all_stats privilege.  The view
returns no rows if the node is not in recovery.

This feature originates from a suggestion I have made while discussion
the addition of a CONNECTING state to the WAL receiver's shared memory
state, because we lacked access to some of the state data.  The author
has taken the time to implement it, so thanks for that.

f95d73ed43 Simplify creation of built-in functions with non-default ACLs.
Up to now, to create such a function, one had to make a pg_proc.dat
entry and then modify it with GRANT/REVOKE commands, which we put in
system_functions.sql.  That seems a little ugly though, because it
violates the idea of having a single source of truth about the initial
contents of pg_proc, and it results in leaving dead rows in the
initial contents of pg_proc.

This patch improves matters by allowing aclitemin to work during early
bootstrap, before pg_authid has been loaded.  On the same principle
that we use for early access to pg_type details, put a table of known
built-in role names into bootstrap.c, and use that in bootstrap mode.

To create a built-in function with a non-default ACL, one should write
the desired ACL list in its pg_proc.dat entry, using a simplified
version of aclitemout's notation: omit the grantor (if it is the
bootstrap superuser, which it pretty much always should be) and spell
the bootstrap superuser's name as POSTGRES, similarly to the notation
used elsewhere in src/include/catalog.  This results in entries like

  proacl => '{POSTGRES=X,pg_monitor=X}'

which shows that we've revoked public execute permissions and instead
granted that to pg_monitor.

In addition to fixing up pg_proc.dat entries, I got rid of some
role grants that had been stuck into system_functions.sql,
and instead put them into a new file pg_auth_members.dat;
that seems like a far less random place to put the information.

The correctness of the data changes can be verified by comparing the
initial contents of pg_proc and pg_auth_members before and after.
pg_proc should match exactly, but the OID column of pg_auth_members
will probably be different because those OIDs now get assigned a
little earlier in bootstrap.  (I forced a catversion bump out of
caution, but it wasn't really necessary.)

To support this, pg_publication_rel now includes a prexcept column to flag

the root level; specifying a root table excludes all current and future
partitions in that tree.

Follow-up work will implement ALTER PUBLICATION support for managing these
exclusions.

fb80f388f4 Add per-subscription wal_receiver_timeout setting.
This commit allows setting wal_receiver_timeout per subscription
using the CREATE SUBSCRIPTION and ALTER SUBSCRIPTION commands.
The value is stored in the subwalrcvtimeout column of the pg_subscription
catalog.

When set, this value overrides the global wal_receiver_timeout for
the subscription's apply worker. The default is -1, which means the
global setting (from the server configuration, command line, role,
or database) remains in effect.

This feature is useful for configuring different timeout values for
each subscription, especially when connecting to multiple publisher
servers, to improve failure detection.

Right now, we package the attribute into a macro called

We also raise the level of the gcc -Wimplicit-fallthrough= option from

759b03b24c Simplify creation of built-in functions with default arguments.
Up to now, to create such a function, one had to make a pg_proc.dat
entry and then overwrite it with a CREATE OR REPLACE command in
system_functions.sql.  That's error-prone (cf. bug #19409) and
results in leaving dead rows in the initial contents of pg_proc.

Manual maintenance of pg_node_tree strings seems entirely impractical,
and parsing expressions during bootstrap would be extremely difficult
as well.  But Andres Freund observed that all the current use-cases
are simple constants, and building a Const node is well within the
capabilities of bootstrap mode.  So this patch invents a special case:
if bootstrap mode is asked to ingest a non-null value for
pg_proc.proargdefaults (which would otherwise fail in
pg_node_tree_in), it parses the value as an array literal and then
feeds the element strings to the input functions for the corresponding
parameter types.  Then we can build a suitable pg_node_tree string
with just a few more lines of code.

This allows removing all the system_functions.sql entries that are
just there to set up default arguments, replacing them with
proargdefaults fields in pg_proc.dat entries.  The old technique
remains available in case someone needs a non-constant default.

The initial contents of pg_proc are demonstrably the same after
this patch, except that (1) json_strip_nulls and jsonb_strip_nulls
now have the correct provolatile setting, as per bug #19409;
(2) pg_terminate_backend, make_interval, and drandom_normal
now have defaults that don't include a type coercion, which is
how they should have been all along.

In passing, remove some unused entries from bootstrap.c's TypInfo[]
array.  I had to add some new ones because we'll now need an entry for
each default-possessing system function parameter, but we shouldn't
carry more than we need there; it's just a maintenance gotcha.

ee642cccc4 Switch SysCacheIdentifier to a typedef enum
The main purpose of this change is to allow an ABI checker to understand
when the list of SysCacheIdentifier changes, by switching all the
routine declarations that relied on a signed integer for a syscache ID
to this new type.  This is going to be useful in the long-term for
versions newer than v19 so as we will be able to check when the list of
values in SysCacheIdentifier is updated in a non-ABI compliant fashion.

Most of the changes of this commit are due to the new definition of
SyscacheCallbackFunction, where a SysCacheIdentifier is now required for
the syscache ID.  It is a mechanical change, still slightly invasive.

There are more areas in the tree that could be improved with an ABI
checker in mind; this takes care of only one area.

c06b5b99bb Add concept of invalid value to SysCacheIdentifier
This commit tweaks the generation of the syscache IDs for the enum
SysCacheIdentifier to now include an invalid value, with -1 assigned as
value.  The concept of an invalid syscache ID exists when handling
lookups of a ObjectAddress, based on their set of properties in
ObjectPropertyType.  -1 is used for the case where an object type has no
option for a syscache lookup.

This has been found as independently useful while discussing a switch of
SysCacheIdentifier to a typedef, as we already have places that want to
know about the concept of an invalid value when dealing with
ObjectAddresses.

f7df12a66c Fix one-off issue with cache ID in objectaddress.c
get_catalog_object_by_oid_extended() has been doing a syscache lookup
when given a cache ID strictly higher than 0, which is wrong because the
first valid value of SysCacheIdentifier is 0.

This issue had no consequences, as the first value assigned in the
enum SysCacheIdentifier is AGGFNOID, which is not used in the object
type properties listed in objectaddress.c.  Even if an ID of 0 was
hypotherically given, the code would still work with a less efficient
heap-or-index scan.

307447e6db Add information about range type stats to pg_stats_ext_exprs
This commit adds three attributes to the system view pg_stats_ext_exprs,
whose data can exist when involving a range type in an expression:
range_length_histogram
range_empty_frac
range_bounds_histogram

These statistics fields exist since 918eee0c49, and have become
viewable in pg_stats later in bc3c8db8ae.  This puts the definition of
pg_stats_ext_exprs on par with pg_stats.

This issue has showed up during the discussion about the restore of
extended statistics for expressions, so as it becomes possible to query
the stats data to restore from the catalogs.  Having access to this data
is useful on its own, without the restore part.

Some documentation and some tests are added, written by me.  Corey has
authored the part in system_views.sql.

8ebdf41c26 Harden _int_matchsel() against being attached to the wrong operator.
While the preceding commit prevented such attachments from occurring
in future, this one aims to prevent further abuse of any already-
created operator that exposes _int_matchsel to the wrong data types.
(No other contrib module has a vulnerable selectivity estimator.)

We need only check that the Const we've found in the query is indeed
of the type we expect (query_int), but there's a difficulty: as an
extension type, query_int doesn't have a fixed OID that we could
hard-code into the estimator.

Therefore, the bulk of this patch consists of infrastructure to let
an extension function securely look up the OID of a datatype
belonging to the same extension.  (Extension authors have requested
such functionality before, so we anticipate that this code will
have additional non-security uses, and may soon be extended to allow
looking up other kinds of SQL objects.)

This is done by first finding the extension that owns the calling
function (there can be only one), and then thumbing through the
objects owned by that extension to find a type that has the desired
name.  This is relatively expensive, especially for large extensions,
so a simple cache is put in front of these lookups.

1e7fe06c10 Replace pg_mblen() with bounds-checked versions.
A corrupted string could cause code that iterates with pg_mblen() to
overrun its buffer.  Fix, by converting all callers to one of the
following:

1. Callers with a null-terminated string now use pg_mblen_cstr(), which
raises an "illegal byte sequence" error if it finds a terminator in the
middle of the sequence.

2. Callers with a length or end pointer now use either
pg_mblen_with_len() or pg_mblen_range(), for the same effect, depending
on which of the two seems more convenient at each site.

3. A small number of cases pre-validate a string, and can use
pg_mblen_unbounded().

The traditional pg_mblen() function and COPYCHAR macro still exist for
backward compatibility, but are no longer used by core code and are
hereby deprecated.  The same applies to the t_isXXX() functions.

c257ba8397 Record range constructor functions in pg_range
When a range type is created, several construction functions are also
created, two for the range type and three for the multirange type.
These have an internal dependency, so they "belong" to the range type.
But there was no way to identify those functions when given a range
type.  An upcoming patch needs access to the two- or possibly the
three-argument range constructor function for a given range type.  The
only way to do that would be with fragile workarounds like matching
names and argument types.  The correct way to do that kind of thing is
to record to the links in the system catalogs.  This is what this
patch does, it records the OIDs of these five constructor functions in
the pg_range catalog.  (Currently, there is no code that makes use of
this.)

bc6374cd76 Change IndexAmRoutines to be statically-allocated structs.
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
(as of now, anyway) but it risks memory leaks and will be slower than
necessary.

This new DDL command merges several partitions into a single partition of the

This commit comprises a quite naive implementation which works in a single
process and holds the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE LOCK on the parent table during all
the operations, including the tuple routing.  This is why this new DDL
command can't be recommended for large partitioned tables under a high load.
However, this implementation comes in handy in certain cases, even as it is.
Also, it could serve as a foundation for future implementations with less
locking and possibly parallelism.

8f1791c618 Fix some cases of indirectly casting away const.
Newest versions of gcc are able to detect cases where code implicitly
casts away const by assigning the result of strchr() or a similar
function applied to a "const char *" value to a target variable
that's just "char *".  This of course creates a hazard of not getting
a compiler warning about scribbling on a string one was not supposed
to, so fixing up such cases is good.

This patch fixes a dozen or so places where we were doing that.
Most are trivial additions of "const" to the target variable,
since no actually-hazardous change was occurring.  There is one
place in ecpg.trailer where we were indeed violating the intention
of not modifying a string passed in as "const char *".  I believe
that's harmless not a live bug, but let's fix it by copying the
string before modifying it.

There is a remaining trouble spot in ecpg/preproc/variable.c,
which requires more complex surgery.  I've left that out of this
commit because I want to study that code a bit more first.

We probably will want to back-patch this once compilers that detect
this pattern get into wider circulation, but for now I'm just
going to apply it to master to see what the buildfarm says.

Thanks to Bertrand Drouvot for finding a couple more spots than
I had.

Columns that store timestamps of the most recent event typically use the

Renaming slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip aligns with this pattern,

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.
