Formerly, DTYPE_REC was used only for variables declared as "record"; variables of named composite types used DTYPE_ROW, which is faster for some purposes but much less flexible. In particular, the ROW code paths are entirely incapable of dealing with DDL-caused changes to the number or data types of the columns of a row variable, once a particular plpgsql function has been parsed for the first time in a session. And, since the stored representation of a ROW isn't a tuple, there wasn't any easy way to deal with variables of domain-over-composite types, since the domain constraint checking code would expect the value to be checked to be a tuple. A lesser, but still real, annoyance is that ROW format cannot represent a true NULL composite value, only a row of per-field NULL values, which is not exactly the same thing. Hence, switch to using DTYPE_REC for all composite-typed variables, whether "record", named composite type, or domain over named composite type. DTYPE_ROW remains but is used only for its native purpose, to represent a fixed-at-compile-time list of variables, for instance the targets of an INTO clause. To accomplish this without taking significant performance losses, introduce infrastructure that allows storing composite-type variables as "expanded objects", similar to the "expanded array" infrastructure introduced in commit 1dc5ebc9. A composite variable's value is thereby kept (most of the time) in the form of separate Datums, so that field accesses and updates are not much more expensive than they were in the ROW format. This holds the line, more or less, on performance of variables of named composite types in field-access-intensive microbenchmarks, and makes variables declared "record" perform much better than before in similar tests. In addition, the logic involved with enforcing composite-domain constraints against updates of individual fields is in the expanded record infrastructure not plpgsql proper, so that it might be reusable for other purposes. In further support of this, introduce a typcache feature for assigning a unique-within-process identifier to each distinct tuple descriptor of interest; in particular, DDL alterations on composite types result in a new identifier for that type. This allows very cheap detection of the need to refresh tupdesc-dependent data. This improves on the "tupDescSeqNo" idea I had in commit 687f096e: that assigned identifying sequence numbers to successive versions of individual composite types, but the numbers were not unique across different types, nor was there support for assigning numbers to registered record types. In passing, allow plpgsql functions to accept as well as return type "record". There was no good reason for the old restriction, and it was out of step with most of the other PLs.

Instead of issuing a reload after pg_hba.conf changes between test cases, run a full restart. With a reload, an error in the new pg_hba.conf is ignored and the tests will continue to run with the old settings, invalidating the subsequent test cases. With a restart, a faulty pg_hba.conf will lead to the test being aborted, which is what we'd rather want.

pg_dump supposed that a stats object necessarily shares the same schema as its underlying table, and that it doesn't have a separate owner. These things may have been true during early development of the feature, but they are not true as of v10 release. Failure to track the object's schema separately turns out to have only limited consequences, because pg_get_statisticsobjdef() always schema- qualifies the target object name in the generated CREATE STATISTICS command (a decision out of step with the rest of ruleutils.c, but I digress). Therefore the restored object would be in the right schema, so that the only problem is that the TOC entry would be mislabeled as to schema. That could lead to wrong decisions for schema-selective restores, for example. The ownership issue is a bit more serious: not only was the TOC entry potentially mislabeled as to owner, but pg_dump didn't bother to issue an ALTER OWNER command at all, so that after restore the stats object would continue to be owned by the restoring superuser. A final point is that decisions as to whether to dump a stats object or not were driven by whether the underlying table was dumped or not. While that's not wrong on its face, it won't scale nicely to the planned future extension to cross-table statistics. Moreover, that design decision comes out of the view of stats objects as being auxiliary to a particular table, like a rule or trigger, which is exactly where the above problems came from. Since we're now treating stats objects more like independent objects in their own right, they ought to behave like standalone objects for this purpose too. So change to using the generic selectDumpableObject() logic for them (which presently amounts to "dump if containing schema is to be dumped"). Along the way to fixing this, restructure so that getExtendedStatistics collects the identity info (only) for all extended stats objects in one query, and then for each object actually being dumped, we retrieve the definition in dumpStatisticsExt. This is necessary to ensure that schema-qualification in the generated CREATE STATISTICS command happens with respect to the search path that pg_dump will now be using at restore time (ie, the schema the stats object is in, not that of the underlying table). It's probably also significantly faster in the typical scenario where only a minority of tables have extended stats. Back-patch to v10 where extended stats were introduced.

Prematurely freeing the EState used to evaluate CALL arguments led, in some cases, to passing dangling pointers to the procedure. This was masked in trivial cases because the argument pointers would point to Const nodes in the original expression tree, and in some other cases because the result value would end up in the standalone ExprContext rather than in memory belonging to the EState --- but that wasn't exactly high quality programming either, because the standalone ExprContext was never explicitly freed, breaking assorted API contracts. In addition, using a separate EState for each argument was just silly. So let's use just one EState, and one ExprContext, and make the latter belong to the former rather than be standalone, and clean up the EState (and hence the ExprContext) post-call. While at it, improve the function's commentary a bit. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/29173.1518282748@sss.pgh.pa.us

CALL statements cannot support sub-SELECTs in the arguments of the called procedure, since they just use ExecEvalExpr to evaluate such arguments. Teach transformSubLink() to reject the case, as it already does for other contexts in which subqueries are not supported. In passing, s/EXPR_KIND_CALL/EXPR_KIND_CALL_ARGUMENT/ to make that enum symbol line up more closely with the phrasing of the error messages it is associated with. And fix someone's weak grasp of English grammar in the preceding EXPR_KIND_PARTITION_EXPRESSION addition. Also update an incorrect comment in resolve_unique_index_expr (possibly it was correct when written, but nowadays transformExpr definitely does reject SRFs here). Per report from Pavel Stehule --- but this resolves only one of the bugs he mentions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFj8pRDxOwPPzpA8i+AQeDQFj7bhVw-dR2==rfWZ3zMGkm568Q@mail.gmail.com

Commit 0bf3ae88 allowed direct foreign table modification; instead of fetching each row, updating it locally, and then pushing the modification back to the remote side, we would instead do all the work on the remote server via a single remote UPDATE or DELETE command. However, that commit only enabled this optimization when join tree consisted only of the target table. This change allows the same optimization when an UPDATE statement has a FROM clause or a DELETE statement has a USING clause. This works much like ordinary foreign join pushdown, in that the tables must be on the same remote server, relevant parts of the query must be pushdown-safe, and so forth.

This patch adds the ability to use "RANGE offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" frame boundaries in window functions. We'd punted on that back in the original patch to add window functions, because it was not clear how to do it in a reasonably data-type-extensible fashion. That problem is resolved here by adding the ability for btree operator classes to provide an "in_range" support function that defines how to add or subtract the RANGE offset value. Factoring it this way also allows the operator class to avoid overflow problems near the ends of the datatype's range, if it wishes to expend effort on that. (In the committed patch, the integer opclasses handle that issue, but it did not seem worth the trouble to avoid overflow failures for datetime types.) The patch includes in_range support for the integer_ops opfamily (int2/int4/int8) as well as the standard datetime types. Support for other numeric types has been requested, but that seems like suitable material for a follow-on patch. In addition, the patch adds GROUPS mode which counts the offset in ORDER-BY peer groups rather than rows, and it adds the frame_exclusion options specified by SQL:2011. As far as I can see, we are now fully up to spec on window framing options. Existing behaviors remain unchanged, except that I changed the errcode for a couple of existing error reports to meet the SQL spec's expectation that negative "offset" values should be reported as SQLSTATE 22013. Internally and in relevant parts of the documentation, we now consistently use the terminology "offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" rather than "value PRECEDING/FOLLOWING", since the term "value" is confusingly vague.

LogicalTapeFreeze() may write out its first block when it is dirty but not full, and then immediately read the first block back in from its BufFile as a BLCKSZ-width block. This can only occur in rare cases where very few tuples were written out, which is currently only possible with parallel external tuplesorts. To avoid valgrind complaints, tell it to treat the tail of logtape.c's buffer as defined. Commit 9da0cc35 exposed this problem but did not create it. LogicalTapeFreeze() has always tended to write out some amount of garbage bytes, but previously never wrote less than one block of data in total, so the problem was masked.

Up to now, useful info for writing a new btree opclass has been buried in the backend's nbtree/README file. Let's move it into the SGML docs, in preparation for extending it with info about "in_range" functions in the upcoming window RANGE patch. To do this, I chose to create a new chapter for btree indexes in Part VII (Internals), parallel to the chapters that exist for the newer index AMs. This is a pretty short chapter as-is. At some point somebody might care to flesh it out with more detail about btree internals, but that is beyond the scope of my ambition for today.

pg_upgrade has always attempted to ensure that the transient dump files it creates are inaccessible except to the owner. However, refactoring in commit 76a7650c broke that for the file containing "pg_dumpall -g" output; since then, that file was protected according to the process's default umask. Since that file may contain role passwords (hopefully encrypted, but passwords nonetheless), this is a particularly unfortunate oversight. Prudent users of pg_upgrade on multiuser systems would probably run it under a umask tight enough that the issue is moot, but perhaps some users are depending only on pg_upgrade's umask changes to protect their data. To fix this in a future-proof way, let's just tighten the umask at process start. There are no files pg_upgrade needs to write at a weaker security level; and if there were, transiently relaxing the umask around where they're created would be a safer approach. Report and patch by Tom Lane; the idea for the fix is due to Noah Misch. Back-patch to all supported branches. Security: CVE-2018-1053

We don't need to set up the shared space for hash join instrumentation data if instrumentation hasn't been requested. Let's follow the example of the similar Sort node code and save a few cycles by skipping that when we can. This reverts commit d59ff4ab and instead allows us to use the safer choice of passing noError = false to shm_toc_lookup in ExecHashInitializeWorker, since if we reach that call there should be a TOC entry to be found.
