      Adjust unstable regression test case. · 76e134fe
      Tom Lane authored
      Test queries added by commit 69835bc8 are giving unexpected results
      on some smaller buildfarm critters.  I think probably the seqscan
      logic is kicking in to cause the scans to not start at the beginning
      of the table.  Add ORDER BY to make them be indexscans instead.

      I somehow missed this module in commit 7d08ce28.

      Distinguish selectivity of < from <= and > from >=. · 7d08ce28
      Tom Lane authored
      Historically, the selectivity functions have simply not distinguished
      < from <=, or > from >=, arguing that the fraction of the population that
      satisfies the "=" aspect can be considered to be vanishingly small, if the
      comparison value isn't any of the most-common-values for the variable.
      (If it is, the code path that executes the operator against each MCV will
      take care of things properly.)  But that isn't really true unless we're
      dealing with a continuum of variable values, and in practice we seldom are.
      If "x = const" would estimate a nonzero number of rows for a given const
      value, then it follows that we ought to estimate different numbers of rows
      for "x < const" and "x <= const", even if the const is not one of the MCVs.
      Handling this more honestly makes a significant difference in edge cases,
      such as the estimate for a tight range (x BETWEEN y AND z where y and z
      are close together).
      
      Hence, split scalarltsel into scalarltsel/scalarlesel, and similarly
      split scalargtsel into scalargtsel/scalargesel.  Adjust <= and >=
      operator definitions to reference the new selectivity functions.
      Improve the core ineq_histogram_selectivity() function to make a
      correction for equality.  (Along the way, I learned quite a bit about
      exactly why that function gives good answers, which I tried to memorialize
      in improved comments.)
      
      The corresponding join selectivity functions were, and remain, just stubs.
      But I chose to split them similarly, to avoid confusion and to prevent the
      need for doing this exercise again if someone ever makes them less stubby.
      
      In passing, change ineq_histogram_selectivity's clamp for extreme
      probability estimates so that it varies depending on the histogram
      size, instead of being hardwired at 0.0001.  With the default histogram
      size of 100 entries, you still get the old clamp value, but bigger
      histograms should allow us to put more faith in edge values.

      doc: Remove incorrect SCRAM protocol documentation · 089880ba
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      The documentation claimed that one should send
      "pg_same_as_startup_message" as the user name in the SCRAM messages, but
      this did not match the actual implementation, so remove it.

      docs: improve pg_upgrade standby instructions · 9521ce4a
      Bruce Momjian authored
      This makes it clear that pg_upgrade standby upgrade instructions should
      only be used in link mode, adds examples, and explains how rsync works
      with links.

      Improve error message in WAL sender · 61975d6c
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      The previous error message when attempting to run a general SQL command
      in a physical replication WAL sender was a bit sloppy.

      Define LDAP_NO_ATTRS if necessary. · 1a2fdc99
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      Commit 83aaac41 introduced the use of
      LDAP_NO_ATTRS to avoid requesting a dummy attribute when doing search+bind
      LDAP authentication.  It turns out that not all LDAP implementations define
      that macro, but its value is fixed by the protocol so we can define it
      ourselves if it's missing.
