This was missed in 7b504eb2. Remove the "default:" clause in the switch, to avoid this problem in the future. Other switches involving the same enum should probably be changed in the same way, but are not touched by this patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170512204800.iqt2uwyx3c32j45r@alvherre.pgsql

A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that the initial search for the target catcache in CatalogCacheIdInvalidate consumes a very significant amount of overhead in cases where cache invalidation is triggered but has little useful work to do. There is no good reason for that search to exist at all, as the index array maintained by syscache.c allows direct lookup of the catcache from its ID. We just need a frontend function in syscache.c, matching the division of labor for most other cache-accessing operations. While there's more that can be done in this area, this patch alone reduces the runtime of Mathieu's example by 2X. We can hope that it offers some useful benefit in other cases too, although usually cache invalidation overhead is not such a striking fraction of the total runtime. Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced. It might be worth going further back, but presently the only case we know of where cache invalidation is really a significant burden is in logical decoding. Also, older branches have fewer catcaches, reducing the possible benefit. (Note: although this nominally changes catcache's API, we have always documented CatalogCacheIdInvalidate as a private function, so I would have little sympathy for an external module calling it directly. So backpatching should be fine.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAHoiPjzea6N0zuCi=+f9v_j94nfsy6y8SU7-=bp4=7qw6_i=Rg@mail.gmail.com

A stats object ought to have a dependency on each individual column it reads, not the entire table. Doing this honestly lets us get rid of the hard-wired logic in RemoveStatisticsExt, which seems to have been misguidedly modeled on RemoveStatistics; and it will be far easier to extend to multiple tables later. Also, add overlooked dependency on owner, and make the dependency on schema be NORMAL like every other such dependency. There remains some unfinished work here, which is to allow statistics objects to be extension members. That takes more effort than just adding the dependency call, though, so I left it out for now. initdb forced because this changes the set of pg_depend records that should exist for a statistics object.

Previously, we had the WITH clause in the middle of the command, where you'd specify both generic options as well as statistic types. Few people liked this, so this commit changes it to remove the WITH keyword from that clause and makes it accept statistic types only. (We currently don't have any generic options, but if we invent in the future, we will gain a new WITH clause, probably at the end of the command). Also, the column list is now specified without parens, which makes the whole command look more similar to a SELECT command. This change will let us expand the command to supporting expressions (not just columns names) as well as multiple tables and their join conditions. Tom added lots of code comments and fixed some parts of the CREATE STATISTICS reference page, too; more changes in this area are forthcoming. He also fixed a potential problem in the alter_generic regression test, reducing verbosity on a cascaded drop to avoid dependency on message ordering, as we do in other tests. Tom also closed a security bug: we documented that table ownership was required in order to create a statistics object on it, but didn't actually implement it. Implement tab-completion for statistics objects. This can stand some more improvement.

On MSVC builds and on back branches that means removing the hardcoded --verbose setting.

Certain recovery tests use the Perl IPC::Run module's start/kill_kill method of processing. On at least some versions of perl this causes the whole process and its caller to crash. If we ever find a better way of doing these tests they can be re-enabled on this platform. This does not affect Mingw or Cygwin builds, which use a different perl and a different shell and so are not affected.

Increase from the historical value of 32 to 64. We are up to 31 callers of CacheRegisterSyscacheCallback() in HEAD, so if they were all to be exercised in one process that would leave only one slot for add-on modules. It's probably not possible for that to happen, but still we clearly need more daylight here. (At some point it might be worth making the array dynamically resizable; but since we've never heard a complaint of "out of syscache_callback_list slots" happening in the field, I doubt it's worth it yet.) Back-patch as far as 9.4, which is where we increased the companion limit MAX_RELCACHE_CALLBACKS (cf commit f01d1ae3). It's not as urgent in released branches, which have only a couple dozen call sites in core, but it still seems that somebody might hit the limit before these branches die.

Per discussion, "location" is a rather vague term that could refer to multiple concepts. "LSN" is an unambiguous term for WAL locations and should be preferred. Some function names, view column names, and function output argument names used "lsn" already, but others used "location", as well as yet other terms such as "wal_position". Since we've already renamed a lot of things in this area from "xlog" to "wal" for v10, we may as well incur a bit more compatibility pain and make these names all consistent.

This reverts commits fa2fa995 and 42f50cb8. While the functionality that was intended to be provided by these commits is desired, the patch didn't actually solve as many of the problematic situations as we hoped, and it created a bunch of its own problems. Since we're going to require more extensive changes soon for other reasons and users have been working around these problems for a long time already, there is no point in spending effort in fixing this halfway measure. Per complaint from Tom Lane. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21407.1484606922@sss.pgh.pa.us (Commit fa2fa995 had already been reverted in branches 9.5 as f858524ee4f and 9.6 as e9e44a0953, so this touches master only. Commit 42f50cb8 was not present in the older branches.)

Previously, the memory used by the logical replication apply worker for processing messages would never be freed, so that could end up using a lot of memory. To improve that, change the existing ApplyContext memory context to ApplyMessageContext and reset that after every message (similar to MessageContext used elsewhere). For consistency of naming, rename the ApplyCacheContext to ApplyContext. Author: Stas Kelvich <s.kelvich@postgrespro.ru>

It turned out this approach had problems, because a DROP command should not have any options other than CASCADE and RESTRICT. Instead, always attempt to drop the slot if there is one configured, but also add an ALTER SUBSCRIPTION action to set the slot to NONE.

Values in a STATISTIC_KIND_RANGE_LENGTH_HISTOGRAM slot are float8, not of the type of the column the statistics are for. This bug is at least partly the fault of sloppy specification comments for get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot(): the type OID they want is that of the stavalues entries, not of the underlying column. (I double-checked other callers and they seem to get this right.) Adjust the comments to be more correct. Per buildfarm. Security: CVE-2017-7484

Both views replace the umoptions field with NULL when the user does not meet qualifications to see it. They used different qualifications, and pg_user_mappings documented qualifications did not match its implemented qualifications. Make its documentation and implementation match those of user_mapping_options. One might argue for stronger qualifications, but these have long, documented tenure. pg_user_mappings has always exhibited this problem, so back-patch to 9.2 (all supported versions).

Commit 65c3bf19 moved handling of the, already then, deprecated requiressl parameter into conninfo_storeval(). The default PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was however lost in the change resulting in a potentially silent accept of a non-SSL connection even when set. Its documentation remained. Restore its implementation. Also amend the documentation to mark PGREQUIRESSL as deprecated for those not following the link to requiressl. Back-patch to 9.3, where commit 65c3bf19 first appeared. Behavior has been more complex when the user provides both deprecated and non-deprecated settings. Before commit 65c3bf19, libpq operated according to the first of these found: requiressl=1 PGREQUIRESSL=1 sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* (Note requiressl=0 didn't override sslmode=*; it would only suppress PGREQUIRESSL=1 or a previous requiressl=1. PGREQUIRESSL=0 had no effect whatsoever.) Starting with commit 65c3bf19, libpq ignored PGREQUIRESSL, and order of precedence changed to this: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* Starting now, adopt the following order of precedence: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* PGREQUIRESSL=1 This retains the 65c3bf19 behavior for connection strings that contain both requiressl=* and sslmode=*. It retains the 65c3bf19 change that either connection string option overrides both environment variables. For the first time, PGSSLMODE has precedence over PGREQUIRESSL; this avoids reducing security of "PGREQUIRESSL=1 PGSSLMODE=verify-full" configurations originating under v9.3 and later.
