This fixes two issues with the completion of ALTER TABLE and ALTER INDEX after SET STATISTICS is typed, trying to suggest schema objects while the grammar only allows integers. The tab completion of ALTER INDEX is made smarter by handling properly more patterns. COLUMN is an optional keyword, but as no column numbers can be suggested yet as possible input simply adjust the completion so as no incorrect queries are generated.

At the end of recovery for the post-promotion process, a new history file is created followed by the last partial segment of the previous timeline. Based on the timing, the archiver would first try to archive the last partial segment and then the history file. This can delay the detection of a new timeline taken, particularly depending on the time it takes to transfer the last partial segment as it delays the moment the history file of the new timeline gets archived. This can cause promoted standbys to use the same timeline as one already taken depending on the circumstances if multiple instances look at archives at the same location. This commit changes the order of archiving so as history files are archived in priority over other file types, which reduces the likelihood of the same timeline being taken (still not reducing the window to zero), and it makes the archiver behave more consistently with the startup process doing its post-promotion business.

COPY can skip writing WAL when loading data on a table which has been created in the same transaction as the one loading the data, however this cannot work on views or foreign table as this would result in trying to flush relation files which do not exist. So disable the optimization so as commands are able to work the same way with any configuration of wal_level. Tests are added to cover the different cases, which need to have wal_level set to minimal to allow the problem to show up, and that is not the default configuration. Reported-by: Luis M.

013ebc0a implements so-called GiST microvacuum. That is gistgettuple() marks index tuples as dead when kill_prior_tuple is set. Later, when new tuple insertion claims page space, those dead index tuples are physically deleted from page. When this deletion is replayed on standby, it might conflict with read-only queries. But 013ebc0a doesn't handle this. That may lead to disappearance of some tuples from read-only snapshots on standby. This commit implements resolving of conflicts between replay of GiST microvacuum and standby queries. On the master we implement new WAL record type XLOG_GIST_DELETE, which comprises necessary information. On stable releases we've to be tricky to keep WAL compatibility. Information required for conflict processing is just appended to data of XLOG_GIST_PAGE_UPDATE record. So, PostgreSQL version, which doesn't know about conflict processing, will just ignore that.

The SQL spec says that sql_identifier is a domain over varchar, but it also says that that domain is supposed to represent the set of valid identifiers for the implementation, in particular applying a length limit matching the implementation's identifier length limit. We were declaring sql_identifier as just "character varying", thus duplicating what the spec says about base type, but entirely failing at the rest of it. Instead, let's declare sql_identifier as a domain over type "name". (We can drop the COLLATE "C" added by commit 6b0faf72, since that's now implicit in "name".) With the recent improvements to name's comparison support, there's not a lot of functional difference between name and varchar. So although in principle this is a spec deviation, it's a pretty minor one. And correctly enforcing PG's name length limit is a good thing; on balance this seems closer to the intent of the spec than what we had. But that's all just language-lawyering. The *real* reason to do this is that it makes sql_identifier columns exposed by information_schema views be just direct representations of the underlying "name" catalog columns, eliminating a semantic mismatch that was disastrous for performance of typical queries on the information_schema. In combination with the recent change to allow dropping no-op CoerceToDomain nodes, this allows (for example) queries such as select ... from information_schema.tables where table_name = 'foo'; to produce an indexscan rather than a seqscan on pg_class.

information_schema output columns that are declared as being type sql_identifier are supposed to conform to the implementation's rules for valid identifiers, in particular the identifier length limit. Several places potentially violated this limit by concatenating a function's name and OID. (The OID is added to ensure name uniqueness within a schema, since the spec doesn't expect function name overloading.) Simply truncating the concatenation result to fit in "name" won't do, since losing part of the OID might wind up giving non-unique results. Instead, let's truncate the function name as necessary. The most practical way to do that is to do it in a C function; the information_schema.sql script doesn't have easy access to the value of NAMEDATALEN, nor does it have an easy way to truncate on the basis of resulting byte-length rather than number of characters. (There are still a couple of places that cast concatenation results to sql_identifier, but as far as I can see they are guaranteed not to produce over-length strings, at least with the normal value of NAMEDATALEN.)

When a partition is detached from its parent, we acquire locks on all attached indexes to also detach them ... but we release those locks immediately. This is a violation of the policy of keeping locks on user objects to the end of the transaction. Bug introduced in 8b08f7d4. It's unclear that there are any ill effects possible, but it's clearly wrong nonetheless. It's likely that bad behavior *is* possible, but mostly because the relation that the index is for is only locked with AccessShareLock, which is an older bug that shall be fixed separately. While touching that line of code, close the index opened with index_open() using index_close() instead of relation_close(). No difference in practice, but let's be consistent.

Now that name comparison has effectively the same behavior as text comparison, we might as well merge the name_ops opfamily into text_ops, allowing cross-type comparisons to be processed without forcing a datatype coercion first. We need do little more than add cross-type operators to make the opfamily complete, and fix one or two places in the planner that assumed text_ops was a single-datatype opfamily. I chose to unify hash name_ops into hash text_ops as well, since the types have compatible hashing semantics. This allows marking the new cross-type equality operators as oprcanhash. (Note: this doesn't remove the name_ops opclasses, so there's no breakage of index definitions. Those opclasses are just reparented into the text_ops opfamily.)

The "name" comparison operators now all support collations, making them functionally equivalent to "text" comparisons, except for the different physical representation of the datatype. They do, in fact, mostly share the varstr_cmp and varstr_sortsupport infrastructure, which has been slightly enlarged to handle the case. To avoid changes in the default behavior of the datatype, set name's typcollation to C_COLLATION_OID not DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID, so that by default comparisons to a name value will continue to use strcmp semantics. (This would have been the case for system catalog columns anyway, because of commit 6b0faf72, but doing this makes it true for user-created name columns as well. In particular, this avoids locale-dependent changes in our regression test results.) In consequence, tweak a couple of places that made assumptions about collatable base types always having typcollation DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID. I have not, however, attempted to relax the restriction that user- defined collatable types must have that. Hence, "name" doesn't behave quite like a user-defined type; it acts more like a domain with COLLATE "C". (Conceivably, if we ever get rid of the need for catalog name columns to be fixed-length, "name" could actually become such a domain over text. But that'd be a pretty massive undertaking, and I'm not volunteering.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15938.1544377821@sss.pgh.pa.us

Avoid repetitive calls to repalloc() when the required size of the collector array grows more than 2x in one call. Also ensure that the array size is a power of 2 (since palloc will probably consume a power of 2 anyway) and doesn't start out very small (which'd likely just lead to extra repallocs).

Commit 40dae7ec, which made the handling of interrupted nbtree page splits more robust, removed an nbtree-specific end-of-recovery cleanup step. This meant that it was no longer possible to complete an interrupted page split during recovery. However, a reference to recovery as a reason for using a NULL stack while inserting into a parent page was missed. Remove the reference. Remove a similar obsolete reference to recovery that was introduced much more recently, as part of the btree fastpath optimization enhancement that made it into Postgres 11 (commit 2b272734, and follow-up commits). Backpatch: 11-, where the fastpath optimization was introduced.

Up to now we allowed text columns in system catalogs to use collation "default", but that isn't really safe because it might mean something different in template0 than it means in a database cloned from template0. In particular, this could mean that cloned pg_statistic entries for such columns weren't entirely valid, possibly leading to bogus planner estimates, though (probably) not any outright failures. In the wake of commit 5e092800, a better solution is available: if we label such columns with "C" collation, then their pg_statistic entries will also use that collation and hence will be valid independently of the database collation. This also provides a cleaner solution for indexes on such columns than the hack added by commit 0b28ea79: the indexes will naturally inherit "C" collation and don't have to be forced to use text_pattern_ops. Also, with the planned improvement of type "name" to be collation-aware, this policy will apply cleanly to both text and name columns. Because of the pg_statistic angle, we should also apply this policy to the tables in information_schema. This patch does that by adjusting information_schema's textual domain types to specify "C" collation. That has the user-visible effect that order-sensitive comparisons to textual information_schema view columns will now use "C" collation by default. The SQL standard says that the collation of those view columns is implementation-defined, so I think this is legal per spec. At some point this might allow for translation of such comparisons into indexable conditions on the underlying "name" columns, although additional work will be needed before that can happen.

"rescanratio" was computed as 1 + rescanned-tuples / total-inner-tuples, which is sensible if it's to be multiplied by total-inner-tuples or a cost value corresponding to scanning all the inner tuples. But in reality it was (mostly) multiplied by inner_rows or a related cost, numbers that take into account the possibility of stopping short of scanning the whole inner relation thanks to a limited key range in the outer relation. This'd still make sense if we could expect that stopping short would result in a proportional decrease in the number of tuples that have to be rescanned. It does not, however. The argument that establishes the validity of our estimate for that number is independent of whether we scan all of the inner relation or stop short, and experimentation also shows that stopping short doesn't reduce the number of rescanned tuples. So the correct calculation is 1 + rescanned-tuples / inner_rows, and we should be sure to multiply that by inner_rows or a corresponding cost value. Most of the time this doesn't make much difference, but if we have both a high rescan rate (due to lots of duplicate values) and an outer key range much smaller than the inner key range, then the error can be significant, leading to a large underestimate of the cost associated with rescanning. Per report from Vijaykumar Jain. This thinko appears to go all the way back to the introduction of the rescan estimation logic in commit 70fba704, so back-patch to all supported branches.

The new grammar pattern of ALTER INDEX SET STATISTICS able to use column numbers on top of the existing column names introduced by commit 5b6d13ee forgot to add support for the feature in pg_dump, so defining statistics on index columns was missing from the dumps, potentially causing silent planning problems with a subsequent restore. pg_dump ought to not use column names in what it generates as these are automatically generated by the server and could conflict with real relation attributes with matching patterns. "expr" and "exprN", N incremented automatically after the creation of the first one, are used as default attribute names for index expressions, and that could easily match what is defined in other relations, causing the dumps to fail if some of those attributes are renamed at some point. So to avoid any problems, the new grammar with column numbers gets used.

When partitioned tables were introduced, we failed to realize that by copying the tablespace handling for other relation kinds with no physical storage we were causing the secondary effect that their partitions would not automatically inherit the tablespace setting. This is surprising and unhelpful, so change it to adopt the behavior introduced in pg11 (commit 33e6c34c3267) for partitioned indexes: the parent relation remembers the tablespace specification, which is then used for any new partitions that don't declare one. Because this commit changes behavior of the TABLESPACE clause for partitioned tables (it's no longer a no-op), it is not backpatched.

At least as far back as the 2008 spec, POSIX has defined strsignal(3) for looking up descriptive strings for signal numbers. We hadn't gotten the word though, and were still using the crufty old sys_siglist array, which is in no standard even though most Unixen provide it. Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code. To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal, which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to sys_siglist[] if available. The set of Unixen with neither API is probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll just get "unrecognized signal". All extant callers print the numeric signal number too, so no need to work harder than that. Along the way, upgrade pg_basebackup's child-error-exit reporting to match the rest of the system.

Commit ffa4cbd6 added logic to detect SIGPIPE failure of a COPY child process, but it only worked correctly if the SIGPIPE occurred in the immediate child process. Depending on the shell in use and the complexity of the shell command string, we might instead get back an exit code of 128 + SIGPIPE, representing a shell error exit reporting SIGPIPE in the child process. We could just hack up ClosePipeToProgram() to add the extra case, but it seems like this is a fairly general issue deserving a more general and better-documented solution. I chose to add a couple of functions in src/common/wait_error.c, which is a natural place to know about wait-result encodings, that will test for either a specific child-process signal type or any child-process signal failure. Then, adjust other places that were doing ad-hoc tests of this type to use the common functions. In RestoreArchivedFile, this fixes a race condition affecting whether the process will report an error or just silently proc_exit(1): before, that depended on whether the intermediate shell got SIGTERM'd itself or reported a child process failing on SIGTERM. Like the previous patch, back-patch to v10; we could go further but there seems no real need to. Per report from Erik Rijkers.
