Previously logical decoding required wal_level to be set to 'logical'
at server start. This meant that users had to incur the overhead of
logical-level WAL logging even when no logical replication slots were
in use.
This commit adds functionality to automatically control logical
decoding availability based on logical replication slot presence. The
newly introduced module logicalctl.c allows logical decoding to be
dynamically activated when needed when wal_level is set to
'replica'.
When the first logical replication slot is created, the system
automatically increases the effective WAL level to maintain
logical-level WAL records. Conversely, after the last logical slot is
dropped or invalidated, it decreases back to 'replica' WAL level.
While activation occurs synchronously right after creating the first
logical slot, deactivation happens asynchronously through the
checkpointer process. This design avoids a race condition at the end
of recovery; a concurrent deactivation could happen while the startup
process enables logical decoding at the end of recovery, but WAL
writes are still not permitted until recovery fully completes. The
checkpointer will handle it after recovery is done. Asynchronous
deactivation also avoids excessive toggling of the logical decoding
status in workloads that repeatedly create and drop a single logical
slot. On the other hand, this lazy approach can delay changes to
effective_wal_level and the disabling logical decoding, especially
when the checkpointer is busy with other tasks. We chose this lazy
approach in all deactivation paths to keep the implementation simple,
even though laziness is strictly required only for end-of-recovery
cases. Future work might address this limitation either by using a
dedicated worker instead of the checkpointer, or by implementing
synchronous waiting during slot drops if workloads are significantly
affected by the lazy deactivation of logical decoding.
The effective WAL level, determined internally by XLogLogicalInfo, is
allowed to change within a transaction until an XID is assigned. Once
an XID is assigned, the value becomes fixed for the remainder of the
transaction. This behavior ensures that the logging mode remains
consistent within a writing transaction, similar to the behavior of
GUC parameters.
A new read-only GUC parameter effective_wal_level is introduced to
monitor the actual WAL level in effect. This parameter reflects the
current operational WAL level, which may differ from the configured
wal_level setting.

The definition of PGoauthBearerRequest uses a temporary SOCKTYPE macro
to hide the difference between Windows and Berkeley socket handles,
since we don't surface pgsocket in our public API. This macro doesn't
need to escape the header, because implementers will choose the correct
socket type based on their platform, so I #undef'd it immediately after
use.
I didn't namespace that helper, though, so if anyone else needs a
SOCKTYPE macro, libpq-fe.h will now unhelpfully get rid of it. This
doesn't seem too far-fetched, given its proximity to existing POSIX
macro names.
Add a PQ_ prefix to avoid collisions, update and improve the surrounding

Allow pg_createsubscriber to reuse existing publications instead of
failing when they already exist on the publisher.
Previously, pg_createsubscriber would fail if any specified publication
already existed. Now, existing publications are reused as-is with their
current configuration, and non-existing publications are created
automatically with FOR ALL TABLES.
This change provides flexibility when working with mixed scenarios of
existing and new publications. Users should verify that existing
publications have the desired configuration before reusing them, and can
use --dry-run with verbose mode to see which publications will be reused
and which will be created.
Only publications created by pg_createsubscriber are cleaned up during
error cleanup operations. Pre-existing publications are preserved unless
'--clean=publications' is explicitly specified, which drops all
publications.
This feature would be helpful for pub-sub configurations where users want
to subscribe to a subset of tables from the publisher.

Previously, pg_sync_replication_slots() would finish without synchronizing
slots that didn't meet requirements, rather than failing outright. This
could leave some failover slots unsynchronized if required catalog rows or
WAL segments were missing or at risk of removal, while the standby
continued removing needed data.
To address this, the function now waits for the primary slot to advance to
a position where all required data is available on the standby before
completing synchronization. It retries cyclically until all failover slots
that existed on the primary at the start of the call are synchronized.
Slots created after the function begins are not included. If the standby
is promoted during this wait, the function exits gracefully and the
temporary slots will be removed.

This commit comprises a quite naive implementation which works in a single

can't be recommended for large, partitioned tables under high load. However,

This eliminates MultiXactOffset wraparound and the 2^32 limit on the
total number of multixid members. Multixids are still limited to 2^31,
but this is a nice improvement because 'members' can grow much faster
than the number of multixids. On such systems, you can now run longer
before hitting hard limits or triggering anti-wraparound vacuums.
Not having to deal with MultiXactOffset wraparound also simplifies the
code and removes some gnarly corner cases.
We no longer need to perform emergency anti-wraparound freezing
because of running out of 'members' space, so the offset stop limit is
gone. But you might still not want 'members' to consume huge amounts
of disk space. For that reason, I kept the logic for lowering vacuum's
multixid freezing cutoff if a large amount of 'members' space is
used. The thresholds for that are roughly the same as the "safe" and
"danger" thresholds used before, 2 billion transactions and 4 billion
transactions. This keeps the behavior for the freeze cutoff roughly
the same as before. It might make sense to make this smarter or
configurable, now that the threshold is only needed to manage disk
usage, but that's left for the future.
Add code to pg_upgrade to convert multitransactions from the old to
the new format, rewriting the pg_multixact SLRU files. Because
pg_upgrade now rewrites the files, we can get rid of some hacks we had
put in place to deal with old bugs and upgraded clusters. Bump catalog
version for the pg_multixact/offsets format change.

This test module acts as a replacement that existed prior to
d52c24b0f8 in the test module injection_points. It uses a more
flexible structure than its ancestor:
- Two libraries are built, one for fixed-sized stats and one for
variable-sized stats.
- No GUCs required. The stats are enabled only if one or both libraries
are loaded with shared_preload_libraries.
- Same kind IDs reserved: 25 (variable-sized) and 26 (fixed-sized)
The goal of this redesign is to be able to easier extend the code
coverage provided by this module for other changes that are currently
under discussion, and injection_points was not suited for these.
Injection points are also now widely used in the tree now, so extending
more the test coverage for custom pgstats in the test module
injection_points would be a riskier long-term move.
The new code is mostly a copy of what existed previously in the test
module injection_points, with the same callbacks defined for fixed-sized
and variable-sized stats, but a simpler overall structure in terms of
the stats counters updated.
The test coverage should remain the same as previously: one TAP test is
used to check data reports, crash recovery and clean restart scenarios.
Tests are added for the manual reset of fixed-sized stats, something
not tested until now.

The test module injection_points has been used as a landing spot to
provide coverage for the custom pgstats APIs, for both fixed-sized and
variable-sized stats kinds. Some recent work related to pgstats is
proving that this structure makes the implementation of new tests
harder.
This commit removes the code related to pgstats from injection_points,
and an equivalent will be reintroduced as a separate test module in a
follow-up commit. This removal is done in its own commit for clarity.
Using injection_points for this test coverage was perhaps not the best
way to design things, but this was good enough while working on the
first flavor of the custom pgstats APIs. Using a new test module will
make easier the introduction of new tests, and we will not need to worry
about the impact of new changes related to custom pgstats could have

a file can be tuned by the environment variable PG_TEST_FILE_READ_LINES,
that can be used to override the default of 50 lines. If the file whose
content is read has less lines than two times PG_TEST_FILE_READ_LINES,
the whole file is returned.
This will be used in a follow-up commit to limit the amount of
information reported by some of the TAP tests on failure, where we have
noticed that the contents reported by the buildfarm can be heavily
bloated in some cases, with the head and tail contents of a report being
able to provide enough information to be useful for debugging.

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

Renaming slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip aligns with this pattern,

This commit introduces three new functions for marking shared buffers as

* pg_buffercache_mark_dirty() for one shared buffer.
- pg_buffercache_mark_dirt_relation() for all the shared buffers in a

* pg_buffercache_mark_dirty_all() for all the shared buffers in pool.
The "_all" and "_relation" flavors are designed to address the
inefficiency of repeatedly calling pg_buffercache_mark_dirty() for each
individual buffer, which can be time-consuming when dealing with with
large shared buffers pool.
These functions are intended as developer tools and are available only

The documentation for CREATE/ALTER PUBLICATION previously showed:
[ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [ ( column_name [, ... ] ) ] [ WHERE ( expression ) ] [, ... ]
to indicate that the table/column specification could be repeated.
However, placing [, ... ] directly after a multi-part construct was
misleading and made it unclear which portion was repeatable.
This commit introduces a new term, table_and_columns, to represent:
[ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [ ( column_name [, ... ] ) ] [ WHERE ( expression ) ]
and updates the synopsis to use:
table_and_columns [, ... ]
which clearly identifies the repeatable element.

In v14, bb437f995 added support for scanning for ranges of TIDs using a
dedicated executor node for the purpose. Here, we allow these scans to
be parallelized. The range of blocks to scan is divvied up similarly to
how a Parallel Seq Scans does that, where 'chunks' of blocks are
allocated to each worker and the size of those chunks is slowly reduced
down to 1 block per worker by the time we're nearing the end of the
scan. Doing that means workers finish at roughly the same time.
Allowing TID Range Scans to be parallelized removes the dilemma from the
planner as to whether a Parallel Seq Scan will cost less than a
non-parallel TID Range Scan due to the CPU concurrency of the Seq Scan
(disk costs are not divided by the number of workers). It was possible
the planner could choose the Parallel Seq Scan which would result in
reading additional blocks during execution than the TID Scan would have.
Allowing Parallel TID Range Scans removes the trade-off the planner
makes when choosing between reduced CPU costs due to parallelism vs
additional I/O from the Parallel Seq Scan due to it scanning blocks from
outside of the required TID range. There is also, of course, the
traditional parallelism performance benefits to be gained as well, which
likely doesn't need to be explained here.

ba2a3c2302 has added a way to check if a buffer is spread across
multiple pages with some NUMA information, via a new view
pg_buffercache_numa that depends on pg_buffercache_numa_pages(), a SQL
function. These can only be queried when support for libnuma exists,
generating an error if not.
However, it can be useful to know how shared buffers and OS pages map
when NUMA is not supported or not available. This commit expands the
capabilities around pg_buffercache_numa:
- pg_buffercache_numa_pages() is refactored as an internal function,
able to optionally process NUMA. Its SQL definition prior to this
commit is still around to ensure backward-compatibility with v1.6.
- A SQL function called pg_buffercache_os_pages() is added, able to work
with or without NUMA.
- The view pg_buffercache_numa is redefined to use
pg_buffercache_os_pages().
- A new view is added, called pg_buffercache_os_pages. This ignores
NUMA for its result processing, for a better efficiency.
The implementation is done so as there is no code duplication between
the NUMA and non-NUMA views/functions, relying on one internal function
that does the job for all of them. The module is bumped to v1.7.

This request allows a support function to replace a function call
appearing in FROM (typically a set-returning function) with an
equivalent SELECT subquery. The subquery will then be subject
to the planner's usual optimizations, potentially allowing a much
better plan to be generated. While the planner has long done this
automatically for simple SQL-language functions, it's now possible
for extensions to do it for functions outside that group.
Notably, this could be useful for functions that are presently
implemented in PL/pgSQL and work by generating and then EXECUTE'ing
a SQL query.

The existing range_minus function raises an exception when the range is
"split", because then the result can't be represented by a single range.
For example '[0,10)'::int4range - '[4,5)' would be '[0,4)' and '[5,10)'.
This commit adds new set-returning functions so that callers can get
results even in the case of splits. There is no risk of an exception for
multiranges, but a set-returning function lets us handle them the same
way we handle ranges.
Both functions return zero results if the subtraction would give an
empty range/multirange.
The main use-case for these functions is to implement UPDATE/DELETE FOR
PORTION OF, which must compute the application-time of "temporal
leftovers": the part of history in an updated/deleted row that was not
changed. To preserve the untouched history, we will implicitly insert
one record for each result returned by range/multirange_minus_multi.
Using a set-returning function will also let us support user-defined
types for application-time update/delete in the future.

The existing format of pg_dependencies uses a single-object JSON
structure, with each key value embedding all the knowledge about the
set attributes tracked, like:
{"1 => 5": 1.000000, "5 => 1": 0.423130}
While this is a very compact format, it is confusing to read and it is
difficult to manipulate the values within the object, particularly when
tracking multiple attributes.
The new output format introduced in this commit is a JSON array of
objects, with:
- A key named "degree", with a float value.
- A key named "attributes", with an array of attribute numbers.
- A key named "dependency", with an attribute number.
The values use the same underlying type as previously when printed, with
a new output format that shows now as follows:
[{"degree": 1.000000, "attributes": [1], "dependency": 5},
{"degree": 0.423130, "attributes": [5], "dependency": 1}]
This new format will become handy for a follow-up set of changes, so as
it becomes possible to inject extended statistics rather than require an
ANALYZE, like in a dump/restore sequence or after pg_upgrade on a new
cluster.
This format has been suggested by Tomas Vondra. The key names are
defined in the header introduced by 1f927cce44, to ease the
integration of frontend-specific changes that are still under
discussion. (Again a personal note: if anybody comes up with better

The bulk of the changes come from the regression tests, where
jsonb_pretty() is now used to make the outputs generated easier to

Also, a paragraph above the table states that INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
DO UPDATE only checks the WITH CHECK expressions of INSERT policies
for rows appended to the relation by the INSERT path, which is
incorrect -- all rows proposed for insertion are checked, regardless

the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see

WAIT FOR needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise, the snapshot

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

file cleanups to happen at the same time as the completion of the portal
execution, with statement logging correctly reflecting to which
statements these temporary files were attached to (see the diffs in the
TAP test updated by this commit for an idea).
The documentation is updated to describe the lifetime of unnamed
portals, and test cases are updated to verify temporary file removal and
proper statement logging after unnamed portal execution. This changes
how unnamed portals are handled in the protocol, hence no backpatch is
done.

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.)

Several functions in the codebase accept "Datum *" parameters but do
not modify the pointed-to data. These have been updated to take
"const Datum *" instead, improving type safety and making the
interfaces clearer about their intent. This change helps the compiler
catch accidental modifications and better documents immutability of
arguments.
Most of "Datum *" parameters have a pairing "bool *isnull" parameter,
they are constified as well.
No functional behavior is changed by this patch.

instead of PQfullProtocolVersion() to find out the exact protocol

The new wal_fpi_bytes counter calculates the total amount of full page

The new %S substitution shows the current value of search_path.
Note that this only works when connected to Postgres v18 or newer,
since search_path was first marked as GUC_REPORT in commit
28a1121fd9. On older versions that don't report search_path, %S is
replaced with a question mark.

This new counter, called "wal_fpi_bytes", tracks the total amount in
bytes of full page images (FPIs) generated in WAL. This data becomes
available globally via pg_stat_wal, and for backend statistics via
pg_stat_get_backend_wal().
Previously, this information could only be retrieved with pg_waldump or
pg_walinspect, which may not be available depending on the environment,
and are expensive to execute. It offers hints about how much FPIs
impact the WAL generated, which could be a large percentage for some
workloads, as well as the effects of wal_compression or page holes.
Bump catalog version.
Bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID, due to the addition of wal_fpi_bytes in

This commit makes the way WAL segments are handled from the source to
the target server slightly smarter: the copy of the WAL segments is now
skipped if these have been created before the point where source and
target have diverged (the WAL segment where the point of divergence
exists is still copied), because we know that such segments exist on
both the target and source. Note that the on-disk size of the WAL
segments on the source and target need to match. Hence, only the
segments generated after the point of divergence are now copied. A
segment existing on the source but not the target is copied.
Previously, all the WAL segments were just copied in full. This change
can make the rewind operation cheaper in some configurations, especially
for setups where some WAL retention causes many segments to remain on
the source server even after the promotion of a standby used as source
to rewind a previous primary.
A TAP test is added to track these new behaviors. The file map printed
with --debug now includes all the information related to WAL segments,
to be able to track if these are copied or skipped, and the test relies
on the debug output generated.

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.

Previously, COPY TO command didn't support directly specifying
partitioned tables so users had to use COPY (SELECT ...) TO variant.
This commit adds direct COPY TO support for partitioned
tables, improving both usability and performance. Performance tests
show it's faster than the COPY (SELECT ...) TO variant as it avoids
the overheads of query processing and sending results to the COPY TO
command.
When used with partitioned tables, COPY TO copies the same rows as
SELECT * FROM table. Row-level security policies of the partitioned
table are applied in the same way as when executing COPY TO on a plain
table.

Previously, attempting to use pg_checksums on a cluster with a control
file whose version does not match with what thetool is able to support
would lead to the following error:
pg_checksums: error: pg_control CRC value is incorrect
This is confusing, because it would look like the control file is
corrupted. However, the contents of the control file are correct,
pg_checksums not being able to understand how the past control file is
shaped.
This commit adds a check based on PG_VERSION, using the facility added
by cd0be131ba, using the same error message as some of the other
frontend tools. A note is added in the documentation about the major
version requirement.

The log output functionality of log_autovacuum_min_duration applies to
both VACUUM and ANALYZE, so it is not possible to separate the VACUUM
and ANALYZE log output thresholds. Logs are likely to be output only for
VACUUM and not for ANALYZE.
Therefore, we decided to separate the threshold for log output of VACUUM
by autovacuum (log_autovacuum_min_duration) and the threshold for log
output of ANALYZE by autovacuum (log_autoanalyze_min_duration).

There was some confusion around how to adjust the n_distinct estimates
for partitioned tables. Here we try and clarify that
n_distinct_inherited needs to be adjusted rather than n_distinct.
Also fix some slightly misleading text which was talking about table
size rather than table rows, fix a grammatical error, and adjust some
text which indicated that ANALYZE was performing calculations based on
the n_distinct settings. Really it's the query planner that does this
and ANALYZE only stores the overridden n_distinct estimate value in
pg_statistic.
