When ComputeXidHorizons() was called before MyDatabaseOid is set, e.g. because a dead row in a shared relation is encountered during InitPostgres(), the horizon for normal tables was computed too aggressively, ignoring all backends connected to a database. During subsequent pruning in a data table the too aggressive horizon could end up still being used, possibly leading to still needed tuples being removed. Not good. This is a bug inpull/57/headdc7420c2c9, which the test added in94bc27b576made visible, if run with force_parallel_mode set to regress. In that case the bug is reliably triggered, because "pruning_query" is run in a parallel worker and the start of that parallel worker is likely to encounter a dead row in pg_database. The fix is trivial: Compute a more pessimistic data table horizon if MyDatabaseId is not yet known.
