The previous system had configure put the value into the makefiles and
then have the makefiles pass them to the build of pg_config. That was
put in place when pg_config was a shell script. We can simplify that
by having configure put the value into pg_config.h directly. This
also makes the standard build system match how the MSVC build system
already does it.

Commit 4eaea3db introduced TupleHashTableHash(), but the signature
didn't match the other exposed functions. Separate it into internal
and external versions. The external version hides the details behind
an API more consistent with the other external functions, and the
internal version is still suitable for simplehash.
Commit 147e3722f7 changed Tid scan so that it calls table_beginscan()
and uses the scan option for seq scan. This change caused two issues.
(1) The change caused Tid scan to take a predicate lock on the entire
relation in serializable transaction even when relation-level
lock is not necessary. This could lead to an unexpected
serialization error.
(2) The change caused Tid scan to increment the number of seq_scan
in pg_stat_*_tables views even though it's not seq scan. This
could confuse the users.
This commit adds the scan option for Tid scan and makes Tid scan
use it, to avoid those issues.

PID of the group leader. So, for the group leader, the value is the
same as its own PID. Note that this reflects what PGPROC stores in

This patch creates a new extension property, "trusted". An extension
that's marked that way in its control file can be installed by a
non-superuser who has the CREATE privilege on the current database,
even if the extension contains objects that normally would have to be
created by a superuser. The objects within the extension will (by
default) be owned by the bootstrap superuser, but the extension itself
will be owned by the calling user. This allows replicating the old
behavior around trusted procedural languages, without all the
special-case logic in CREATE LANGUAGE. We have, however, chosen to
loosen the rules slightly: formerly, only a database owner could take
advantage of the special case that allowed installation of a trusted
language, but now anyone who has CREATE privilege can do so.
Having done that, we can delete the pg_pltemplate catalog, moving the
knowledge it contained into the extension script files for the various
PLs. This ends up being no change at all for the in-core PLs, but it is
a large step forward for external PLs: they can now have the same ease
of installation as core PLs do. The old "trusted PL" behavior was only
available to PLs that had entries in pg_pltemplate, but now any
extension can be marked trusted if appropriate.
This also removes one of the stumbling blocks for our Python 2 -> 3
migration, since the association of "plpythonu" with Python 2 is no
longer hard-wired into pg_pltemplate's initial contents. Exactly where
we go from here on that front remains to be settled, but one problem
is fixed.

The signature of XLogReadRecord() required the caller to pass the starting
WAL position as argument, or InvalidXLogRecPtr to continue reading at the
end of previous record. That's slightly awkward to the callers, as most
of them don't want to randomly jump around in the WAL stream, but start
reading at one position and then read everything from that point onwards.
Remove the 'RecPtr' argument and add a new function XLogBeginRead() to
specify the starting position instead. That's more convenient for the
callers. Also, xlogreader holds state that is reset when you change the
starting position, so having a separate function for doing that feels like
a more natural fit.
This changes XLogFindNextRecord() function so that it doesn't reset the
xlogreader's state to what it was before the call anymore. Instead, it
positions the xlogreader to the found record, like XLogBeginRead().

Previously, it was possible for EXPLAIN ANALYZE of a parallel query
to produce several different "Workers" fields for a single plan node,
because different portions of explain.c independently generated
per-worker data and wrapped that output in separate fields. This
is pretty bogus, especially for the structured output formats: even
if it's not technically illegal, most programs would have a hard time
dealing with such data.
To improve matters, add infrastructure that allows redirecting
per-worker values into a side data structure, and then collect that
data into a single "Workers" field after we've finished running all
the relevant code for a given plan node.
There are a few visible side-effects:
* In text format, instead of something like
Sort Method: external merge Disk: 4920kB
Worker 0: Sort Method: external merge Disk: 5880kB
Worker 1: Sort Method: external merge Disk: 5920kB
Buffers: shared hit=682 read=10188, temp read=1415 written=2101
Worker 0: actual time=130.058..130.324 rows=1324 loops=1
Buffers: shared hit=337 read=3489, temp read=505 written=739
Worker 1: actual time=130.273..130.512 rows=1297 loops=1
Buffers: shared hit=345 read=3507, temp read=505 written=744
you get
Sort Method: external merge Disk: 4920kB
Buffers: shared hit=682 read=10188, temp read=1415 written=2101
Worker 0: actual time=130.058..130.324 rows=1324 loops=1
Sort Method: external merge Disk: 5880kB
Buffers: shared hit=337 read=3489, temp read=505 written=739
Worker 1: actual time=130.273..130.512 rows=1297 loops=1
Sort Method: external merge Disk: 5920kB
Buffers: shared hit=345 read=3507, temp read=505 written=744
* When JIT is enabled, any relevant per-worker JIT stats are attached
to the child node of the Gather or Gather Merge node, which is where
the other per-worker output has always been. Previously, that info
was attached directly to a Gather node, or missed entirely for Gather
Merge.
* A query's summary JIT data no longer includes a bogus
"Worker Number: -1" field.
A notable code-level change is that indenting for lines of text-format
output should now be handled by calling "ExplainIndentText(es)",
instead of hard-wiring how much space to emit. This seems a good deal
cleaner anyway.
This patch also adds a new "explain.sql" regression test script that's
dedicated to testing EXPLAIN. There is more that can be done in that
line, certainly, but for now it just adds some coverage of the XML and
YAML output formats, which had been completely untested.
Although this is surely a bug fix, it's not clear that people would
be happy with rearranging EXPLAIN output in a minor release, so apply
to HEAD only.

Keep the code that pertains to the 'json' data type in json.c, but
move the lexing and parsing code to a new file jsonapi.c, a name
I chose because the corresponding prototypes are in jsonapi.h.
This seems like a logical division, because the JSON lexer and parser
are also used by the 'jsonb' data type, but the SQL-callable functions
in json.c are a separate thing. Also, the new jsonapi.c file needs to
include far fewer header files than json.c, which seems like a good
sign that this is an appropriate place to insert an abstraction
boundary. I took the opportunity to remove a few apparently-unneeded

The major change here is that we no longer include jsonb.h into
jsonapi.h. The reason that was necessary is that jsonapi.h included
several prototypes functions in jsonfuncs.c that depend on the Jsonb
type. Move those prototypes to a new header, jsonfuncs.h, and include
it where needed.
The other change is that JsonEncodeDateTime is now declared in
json.h rather than jsonapi.h.
Taken together, these steps eliminate all dependencies of jsonapi.h
on backend-only data types and header files, so that it can
potentially be included in frontend code.
This function allows us to fsync the specified file or directory.
It's useful, for example, when we want to sync the file that
pg_file_write() writes out or that COPY TO exports the data into,
for durability.

I had supposed that all versions of Readline that have filename
quoting hooks also have the rl_completion_suppress_quote variable.
But it seems OpenBSD managed to find a version someplace that does
not, so we'll have to expend a separate configure probe for that.
(Light testing suggests that this version also lacks the bugs that
make it necessary to frob that variable. Hooray!)
Per buildfarm.
The Readline library contains a fair amount of knowledge about how to
tab-complete filenames, but it turns out that that doesn't work too well
unless we follow its expectation that we use its filename quoting hooks
to quote and de-quote filenames. We were trying to do such quote handling
within complete_from_files(), and that's still what we have to do if we're
using libedit, which lacks those hooks. But for Readline, it works a lot
better if we tell Readline that single-quote is a quoting character and
then provide hooks that know the details of the quoting rules for SQL
and psql meta-commands.
Hence, resurrect the quoting hook functions that existed in the original
version of tab-complete.c (and were disabled by commit f6689a328 because
they "didn't work so well yet"), and whack on them until they do seem to
work well.
Notably, this fixes bug #16059 from Steven Winfield, who pointed out
that the previous coding would strip quote marks from filenames in SQL
COPY commands, even though they're syntactically necessary there.
Now, we not only don't do that, but we'll add a quote mark when you
tab-complete, even if you didn't type one.
Getting this to work across a range of libedit versions (and, to a
lesser extent, libreadline versions) was depressingly difficult.
It will be interesting to see whether the new regression test cases
pass everywhere in the buildfarm.
Some future patch might try to handle quoted SQL identifiers with
similar explicit quoting/dequoting logic, but that's for another day.

This feature allows the vacuum to leverage multiple CPUs in order to
process indexes. This enables us to perform index vacuuming and index
cleanup with background workers. This adds a PARALLEL option to VACUUM
command where the user can specify the number of workers that can be used
to perform the command which is limited by the number of indexes on a
table. Specifying zero as a number of workers will disable parallelism.
This option can't be used with the FULL option.
Each index is processed by at most one vacuum process. Therefore parallel
vacuum can be used when the table has at least two indexes.
The parallel degree is either specified by the user or determined based on
the number of indexes that the table has, and further limited by
max_parallel_maintenance_workers. The index can participate in parallel
vacuum iff it's size is greater than min_parallel_index_scan_size.

The strategy of GIN index scan is driven by opclass-specific extract_query
method. This method that needed search mode is GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL. This
mode means that matching tuple may contain none of extracted entries. Simple
example is '!term' tsquery, which doesn't need any term to exist in matching
tsvector.
In order to handle such scan key GIN calculates virtual entry, which contains
all TIDs of all entries of attribute. In fact this is full scan of index
attribute. And typically this is very slow, but allows to handle some queries
correctly in GIN. However, current algorithm calculate such virtual entry for
each GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL scan key even if they are multiple for the same
attribute. This is clearly not optimal.
This commit improves the situation by introduction of "exclude only" scan keys.
Such scan keys are not capable to return set of matching TIDs. Instead, they
are capable only to filter TIDs produced by normal scan keys. Therefore,
each attribute should contain at least one normal scan key, while rest of them
may be "exclude only" if search mode is GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL.
The same optimization might be applied to the whole scan, not per-attribute.
But that leads to NULL values elimination problem. There is trade-off between
multiple possible ways to do this. We probably want to do this later using
some cost-based decision algorithm.

Commit 9b63c13f0 turns out to have been fundamentally misguided:
the parent node's subPlan list is by no means the only way in which
a child SubPlan node can be hooked into the outer execution state.
As shown in bug #16213 from Matt Jibson, we can also get short-lived
tuple table slots added to the outer es_tupleTable list. At this point
I have little faith that there aren't other possible connections as
well; the long time it took to notice this problem shows that this
isn't a heavily-exercised situation.
Therefore, revert that fix, returning to the coding that passed a
NULL parent plan pointer down to the transiently-built subexpressions.
That gives us a pretty good guarantee that they won't hook into the
outer executor state in any way. But then we need some other solution
to make SubPlans work. Adopt the solution speculated about in the
previous commit's log message: do expression initialization at plan
startup for just those VALUES rows containing SubPlans, abandoning the
goal of reclaiming memory intra-query for those rows. In practice it
seems unlikely that queries containing a vast number of VALUES rows
would be using SubPlans in them, so this should not give up much.
(BTW, this test case also refutes my claim in connection with the prior
commit that the issue only arises with use of LATERAL. That was just
wrong: some variants of SubLink always produce SubPlans.)

Previously, check_xact_readonly() was responsible for determining
which types of queries could not be run in a read-only transaction,
standard_ProcessUtility() was responsibility for prohibiting things
which were allowed in read only transactions but not in recovery, and
utility commands were basically prohibited in bulk in parallel mode by
calls to CommandIsReadOnly() in functions.c and spi.c. This situation
was confusing and error-prone. Accordingly, move all the checks to a

transactions, parallel queries, and standby operation. Generally, they
would fail anyway due to some lower-level error check, but we
shouldn't rely on that. In the new code structure, future omissions
of this type should cause ClassifyUtilityCommandAsReadOnly() to
complain about an unrecognized node type.
As a fringe benefit, this means we can allow certain types of utility
commands in parallel mode, where it's safe to do so. This allows
ALTER SYSTEM, CALL, DO, CHECKPOINT, COPY FROM, EXPLAIN, and SHOW.
It might be possible to allow additional commands with more work
and thought.
Along the way, document the thinking process behind the current set
of checks, as per discussion especially with Peter Eisentraut. There
is some interest in revising some of these rules, but that seems
like a job for another patch.
Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane, Stephen Frost, and Peter
Eisentraut.

We've had numerous bug reports about how (1) IF NOT EXISTS clauses in
ALTER TABLE don't behave as-expected, and (2) combining certain actions
into one ALTER TABLE doesn't work, though executing the same actions as
separate statements does. This patch cleans up all of the cases so far
reported from the field, though there are still some oddities associated
with identity columns.
The core problem behind all of these bugs is that we do parse analysis
of ALTER TABLE subcommands too soon, before starting execution of the
statement. The root of the bugs in group (1) is that parse analysis
schedules derived commands (such as a CREATE SEQUENCE for a serial
column) before it's known whether the IF NOT EXISTS clause should cause
a subcommand to be skipped. The root of the bugs in group (2) is that
earlier subcommands may change the catalog state that later subcommands
need to be parsed against.
Hence, postpone parse analysis of ALTER TABLE's subcommands, and do
that one subcommand at a time, during "phase 2" of ALTER TABLE which
is the phase that does catalog rewrites. Thus the catalog effects
of earlier subcommands are already visible when we analyze later ones.
(The sole exception is that we do parse analysis for ALTER COLUMN TYPE
subcommands during phase 1, so that their USING expressions can be
parsed against the table's original state, which is what we need.
Arguably, these bugs stem from falsely concluding that because ALTER
COLUMN TYPE must do early parse analysis, every other command subtype
can too.)
This means that ALTER TABLE itself must deal with execution of any
non-ALTER-TABLE derived statements that are generated by parse analysis.
Add a suitable entry point to utility.c to accept those recursive
calls, and create a struct to pass through the information needed by
the recursive call, rather than making the argument lists of
AlterTable() and friends even longer.
Getting this to work correctly required a little bit of fiddling
with the subcommand pass structure, in particular breaking up
AT_PASS_ADD_CONSTR into multiple passes. But otherwise it's mostly
a pretty straightforward application of the above ideas.
Fixing the residual issues for identity columns requires refactoring of
where the dependency link from an identity column to its sequence gets
set up. So that seems like suitable material for a separate patch,
especially since this one is pretty big already.

Introduce new fields amusemaintenanceworkmem and amparallelvacuumoptions
in IndexAmRoutine for parallel vacuum. The amusemaintenanceworkmem tells
whether a particular IndexAM uses maintenance_work_mem or not. This will
help in controlling the memory used by individual workers as otherwise,
each worker can consume memory equal to maintenance_work_mem. The
amparallelvacuumoptions tell whether a particular IndexAM participates in
a parallel vacuum and if so in which phase (bulkdelete, vacuumcleanup) of
vacuum.

If no permanent replication slot is configured using
primary_slot_name, the walreceiver now creates and uses a temporary
replication slot. A new setting wal_receiver_create_temp_slot can be
used to disable this behavior, for example, if the remote instance is
out of replication slots.

Previously, the core scanner's yy_transition[] array had 37045 elements.
Since that number is larger than INT16_MAX, Flex generated the array to
contain 32-bit integers. By reimplementing some of the bulkier scanner
rules, this patch reduces the array to 20495 elements. The much smaller
total length, combined with the consequent use of 16-bit integers for
the array elements reduces the binary size by over 200kB. This was
accomplished in two ways:
1. Consolidate handling of quote continuations into a new start condition,
rather than duplicating that logic for five different string types.
2. Treat Unicode strings and identifiers followed by a UESCAPE sequence
as three separate tokens, rather than one. The logic to de-escape
Unicode strings is moved to the filter code in parser.c, which already
had the ability to provide special processing for token sequences.
While we could have implemented the conversion in the grammar, that
approach was rejected for performance and maintainability reasons.
Performance in microbenchmarks of raw parsing seems equal or slightly
faster in most cases, and it's reasonable to expect that in real-world
usage (with more competition for the CPU cache) there will be a larger
win. The exception is UESCAPE sequences; lexing those is about 10%
slower, primarily because the scanner now has to be called three times
rather than one. This seems acceptable since that feature is very
rarely used.
The psql and epcg lexers are likewise modified, primarily because we
want to keep them all in sync. Since those lexers don't use the
space-hogging -CF option, the space savings is much less, but it's
still good for perhaps 10kB apiece.
While at it, merge the ecpg lexer's handling of C-style comments used
in SQL and in C. Those have different rules regarding nested comments,
but since we already have the ability to keep track of the previous
start condition, we can use that to handle both cases within a single
start condition. This matches the core scanner more closely.
