A long time ago, it was necessary to declare datatype I/O functions, triggers, and language handler support functions in a very type-unsafe way involving a single pseudo-type "opaque". We got rid of those conventions in 7.3, but there was still support in various places to automatically convert such functions to the modern declaration style, to be able to transparently re-load dumps from pre-7.3 servers. It seems unnecessary to continue to support that anymore, so take out the hacks; whereupon the "opaque" pseudo-type itself is no longer needed and can be dropped. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files. Since we've had few complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0 servers (commit 64f3524e), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.

Twenty years ago, we removed certain operator classes in favor of letting indexes over their data types be built with some other binary-compatible, more standard opclass. As a hack to allow existing index definitions to be dumped and reloaded, we made CREATE INDEX ignore the removed opclass names, so that such indexes would fall back to the new default opclass for their data types. This was never intended to be a long-lived thing; it carries the obvious risk of breaking some future developer's attempt to re-use those old opclass names. Since all of the cases in question are for opclasses that were removed before PG 8.0, it seems okay to get rid of these hacks now. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files.

Before 7.3, foreign key constraints had no explicit catalog representation, so that what pg_dump produced for them was (usually) a set of three CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER commands. Commit a2899ebd and some follow-on fixes added an ugly hack in CreateTrigger() to recognize that pattern and reconstruct the foreign key definition. However, we've never had any test coverage for that code, so that it's legitimate to wonder if it still works; and having to maintain it in the face of upcoming trigger-related patches seems rather pointless. Let's decree that its time has passed, and drop it. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files.

We used to carry the I/O function OID in RangeIOData, but it's not used for anything. Since the struct is not exposed to the world anyway, we can simplify it a bit. Also, rename the FmgrInfo member to match the accompanying 'typioparam' and put them in a more sensible order. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Paul Jungwirth.

This commit fixes the following two issues around .pgpass file. (1) If the length of a line in .pgpass file was larger than 319B, libpq silently treated each 319B in the line as a separate setting line. (2) The document explains that a line beginning with # is treated as a comment in .pgpass. But there was no code doing such special handling. Whether a line begins with # or not, libpq just checked that the first token in the line match with the host. For (1), this commit makes libpq warn if the length of a line is larger than 319B, and throw away the remaining part beginning from 320B position. For (2), this commit changes libpq so that it treats any lines beginning with # as comments.

When canceling a REINDEX CONCURRENTLY operation after swapping is done, a drop of the parent table would leave behind old indexes. This is a consequence of 68ac9cf2, which fixed the case of pg_depend bloat when repeating REINDEX CONCURRENTLY on the same relation. In order to take care of the problem without breaking the previous fix, this uses a different strategy, possible even with the exiting set of routines to handle dependency changes. The dependencies of/on the new index are additionally switched to the old one, allowing an old invalid index remaining around because of a cancellation or a failure to use the dependency links of the concurrently-created index. This ensures that dropping any objects the old invalid index depends on also drops the old index automatically.

Optionally push a step to check for a NULL pointer to the pergroup state. This will be important for disk-based hash aggregation in combination with grouping sets. When memory limits are reached, a given tuple may find its per-group state for some grouping sets but not others. For the former, it advances the per-group state as normal; for the latter, it skips evaluation and the calling code will have to spill the tuple and reprocess it in a later batch. Add the NULL check as a separate expression step because in some common cases it's not needed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200221202212.ssb2qpmdgrnx52sj%40alap3.anarazel.de

Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants, in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never too late to make it better though, so let's do that. The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch. But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability, so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation. I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers over time. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16457.1583189537@sss.pgh.pa.us

to_char() has long allowed the TM (translation mode) prefix to specify output of translated month or day names; but that prefix had no effect in input format strings. Now it does. to_date() and to_timestamp() will now recognize the same month or day names that to_char() would output for the same format code. Matching is case-insensitive (per the active collation's notion of what that means), just as it has always been for English month/day names without the TM prefix. (As per the discussion thread, there are lots of cases that this feature will not handle, such as alternate day names. But being able to accept what to_char() will output seems useful enough.) In passing, fix some shaky English and violations of message style guidelines in jsonpath errors for the .datetime() method, which depends on this code.

_bt_split() is passed NULL as its insertion scankey for internal page splits. Two recently added Assert() statements failed to consider this, leading to a crash with pg_upgrade'd BREE_VERSION < 4 indexes. Remove the assertions. The assertions in question were added by commit 0d861bbb, which added nbtree deduplication. It would be possible to fix the assertions directly instead, but they weren't adding much anyway.

Using ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION causes an assertion failure when attempting to work on a partitioned index, because partitioned indexes cannot have partition bounds. The grammar of ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION requires partition bounds, but not ALTER INDEX, so mixing ALTER TABLE with partitioned indexes is confusing. Hence, on HEAD, prevent ALTER TABLE to attach a partition if the relation involved is a partitioned index. On back-branches, as applications may rely on the existing behavior, just remove the culprit assertion.

The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful. Create a new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource managers. The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a CommandTagBehavior struct. Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information about completed queries in a cstring. Only at the last moment, in EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string. EventTriggerCacheItem no longer holds an array of palloc’d tag strings in sorted order, but rather just a Bitmapset over the CommandTags.

When setting PG_COLOR to "always" or "auto" in a Windows terminal VT100-compatible, the colorization output was not showing up correctly because it is necessary to update the console's output handling mode. This fix allows to detect automatically if the environment is compatible with VT100. Hence, PG_COLOR=auto is able to detect and handle both compatible and non-compatible environments. The behavior of PG_COLOR=always remains unchanged, as it enforces the use of colorized output even if the environment does not allow it. This fix is based on an initial suggestion from Thomas Munro.

When deciding on the local rscale to use for the Taylor series expansion, ln_var() neglected to account for the fact that the result is subsequently multiplied by a factor of 2^(nsqrt+1), where nsqrt is the number of square root operations performed in the range reduction step, which can be as high as 22 for very large inputs. This could result in a loss of precision, particularly when combined with large rscale values, for which a large number of Taylor series terms is required (up to around 400). Fix by computing a few extra digits in the Taylor series, based on the weight of the multiplicative factor log10(2^(nsqrt+1)). It remains to be proven whether or not the other 8 extra digits used for the Taylor series is appropriate, but this at least deals with the obvious oversight of failing to account for the effects of the final multiplication. Per report from Justin AnyhowStep. Reviewed by Tom Lane. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16280-279f299d9c06e56f@postgresql.org

Add a new bt_metap() column to display the metapage's allequalimage field. Also add three new columns to contrib/pageinspect's bt_page_items() function: * Add a boolean column ("dead") that displays the LP_DEAD bit value for each non-pivot tuple. * Add a TID column ("htid") that displays a single heap TID value for each tuple. This is the TID that is returned by BTreeTupleGetHeapTID(), so comparable values are shown for pivot tuples, plain non-pivot tuples, and posting list tuples. * Add a TID array column ("tids") that displays TIDs from each tuple's posting list, if any. This works just like the "tids" column from pageinspect's gin_leafpage_items() function. No version bump for the pageinspect extension, since there hasn't been a stable Postgres release since the last version bump (the last bump was part of commit 58b4cb30).

Commit 356687bd omitted to remove leftover code for destroying a hashed subplan's hash tables, with the result that the tables were always rebuilt not reused; this leads to severe memory leakage if a hashed subplan is re-executed enough times. Moreover, the code for reusing the hashnulls table had a typo that would have made it do the wrong thing if it were reached. Looking at the code coverage report shows severe under-coverage of the potential callers of ResetTupleHashTable, so add some test cases that exercise them.

Such an access became possible when commit 246a6c8f added more aggressive cleanup of orphaned temp relations by autovacuum. Since autovacuum's snapshot might be slightly stale, it could attempt to access an already-dropped temp namespace, resulting in an assertion failure or null-pointer dereference. (In practice, since we don't drop temp namespaces automatically but merely recycle them, this situation could only arise if a superuser does a manual drop of a temp namespace. Still, that should be allowed.) The core of the bug, IMO, is that isTempNamespaceInUse and its callers failed to think hard about whether to treat "temp namespace isn't there" differently from "temp namespace isn't in use". In hopes of forestalling future mistakes of the same ilk, replace that function with a new one checkTempNamespaceStatus, which makes the same tests but returns a three-way enum rather than just a bool. isTempNamespaceInUse is gone entirely in HEAD; but just in case some external code is relying on it, keep it in the back branches, as a bug-compatible wrapper around the new function. Per report originally from Prabhat Kumar Sahu, investigated by Mahendra Singh and Michael Paquier; the final form of the patch is my fault. This replaces the failed fix attempt in a052f6cb. Backpatch as far as v11, as 246a6c8f was. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAKYtNAr9Zq=1-ww4etHo-VCC-k120YxZy5OS01VkaLPaDbv2tg@mail.gmail.com
