Commit b3cf461b3c renamed --wal-directory to --wal-path but retained
the former as a silent alias. Per project policy, all options,
including deprecated ones, should be documented to assist users
transitioning between versions.
This patch restores --wal-directory to the documentation and --help
output.

WAIT FOR LSN compares only the numeric LSN and has no notion of which
timeline a WAL record belongs to. There are many possible scenarios when
timeline-switching can break read-your-writes consistency. The proper
analysis and timeline support is possible in the next major release. Yet
just document the current behaviour.

GetCurrentLSNForWaitType() for standby_write and standby_flush modes
returned only the walreceiver position, which may lag behind WAL
already present on the standby from a base backup, archive restore,
or prior streaming. This could cause unnecessary blocking if the
target LSN falls between the walreceiver's tracked position and the
replay position.
Fix by returning the maximum of the walreceiver position and the
replay position. WAL up to the replay point is physically on disk
regardless of its origin, so there is no reason to wait for the
walreceiver to re-receive it.
This complements 29e7dbf5e4, which seeded writtenUpto to
receiveStart in RequestXLogStreaming() to fix the most common
hang scenario. The getter-level floor handles the remaining edge
cases: targets between receiveStart and the replay position, and
standbys running with archive recovery only (no walreceiver).

According to the SQL/JSON standard, JSON_ARRAY(query) must return an
empty JSON array ('[]') when the subquery returns zero rows.
Previously, the parser rewrote JSON_ARRAY(query) into a JSON_ARRAYAGG
aggregate function. Because this aggregate evaluates to NULL over an
empty set without a GROUP BY clause, the constructor erroneously
returned NULL. Additionally, this premature rewrite baked physical
implementation details into the catalog, preventing ruleutils.c from
deparsing the original syntax for views.
This patch resolves both issues by introducing a new
JSCTOR_JSON_ARRAY_QUERY constructor type. The parser builds the
executable form --- a COALESCE-wrapped JSON_ARRAYAGG subquery --- from
raw parse nodes via transformExprRecurse, and stores it in the func
field. The original transformed Query is kept in a new orig_query
field so that ruleutils.c can deparse the original syntax for views.
During planning, eval_const_expressions replaces the node with the
pre-built func expression.
The deparsing issue was reported by Tom Lane.

We need to create top-level targets to run targets with the ninja
command like `ninja <target_name>`.
Some targets (man, html, ...) have the same target name on both
top-level and custom target. This creates a confusion for the meson
build:
$ meson compile -C build html
```
ERROR: Can't invoke target `html`: ambiguous name. Add target type
and/or path:
- ./doc/src/sgml/html:custom
- ./doc/src/sgml/html:alias
```
Solve that problem by adding '-custom' suffix to these problematic
targets' custom target names. Top-level targets can be called with
both meson and ninja now:
$ meson compile -C build html
$ ninja -C build html

The psql describe (`\d`) footer titles were previously unintuitive when
listing publications that included or excluded specific tables. Even
though the tag for included publications was pre-existing, it is better
to update it to "Included in publications:" to match the phrasing of
the "Excluded from publications:" tag.
Footer titles for sequence and schema descriptions have been updated
similarly to maintain consistency.

When using ALTER TABLE ... MERGE PARTITIONS or ALTER TABLE ... SPLIT
PARTITION, extension dependencies on partition indexes were being lost.
This happened because the new partition indexes are created fresh from
the parent partitioned table's indexes, while the old partition indexes
(with their extension dependencies) are dropped.
Fix this by collecting extension dependencies from source partition
indexes before detaching them, then applying those dependencies to the
corresponding new partition indexes after they're created. The mapping
between old and new indexes is done via their common parent partitioned
index.
For MERGE operations, all source partition indexes sharing a parent
partitioned index must have the same extension dependencies; if they
differ, an error naming both conflicting partition indexes is raised.
The check is implemented by collecting one entry per partition index,
sorting by parent index OID, and comparing adjacent entries in a single
pass. This is order-independent: the same set of partitions produces
the same decision regardless of the order they are listed in the MERGE
command, and subset mismatches are caught in both directions.
For SPLIT operations, the new partition indexes simply inherit all
extension dependencies from the source partition's index.
The regression tests exercising this feature live under
src/test/modules/test_extensions, where the test_ext3 and test_ext5
extensions are available; core regression tests cannot assume any
particular extension is installed.

This batch is similar to 462fe0ff62 and addresses a variety of code
style issues, including grammar mistakes, typos, inconsistent variable
names in function declarations, and incorrect function names in comments
and documentation. These fixes have accumulated on the community
mailing lists since the commit mentioned above.
Notably, Alexander Lakhin previously submitted a patch identifying many
of the trivial typos and grammar issues that had been reported on
pgsql-hackers. His patch covered a somewhat large portion of the issues
addressed here, though not all of them.
The documentation changes only affect HEAD.
The documentation previously described the io_max_workers,
io_worker_idle_timeout, and io_worker_launch_interval GUCs as
type "int". However, the documentation consistently uses "integer"
for parameters of this type.
This commit updates these parameter descriptions to use "integer"
for consistency.

Previously we were relying on a snapshot-based check to detect invalid
execution contexts. However, when WAIT FOR is wrapped into a stored
procedure or a DO block, it could pass this check, causing an error
elsewhere.
This commit implements an explicit isTopLevel check to reject WAIT FOR
when called from within a function, procedure, or DO block. The
isTopLevel check catches these cases early with a clear error message,
matching the pattern used by other utility commands like VACUUM and
REINDEX. The snapshot check is retained for the remaining case:
top-level execution within a transaction block using an isolation level
higher than READ COMMITTED.
Also adds tests for WAIT FOR LSN wrapped in a procedure and DO block,
complementing the existing test that uses a function wrapper. Relevant
documentation paragraph is also added.

Add a new FDW callback routine that allows importing remote statistics
for a foreign table directly to the local server, instead of collecting
statistics locally. The new callback routine is called at the beginning
of the ANALYZE operation on the table, and if the FDW failed to import
the statistics, the existing callback routine is called on the table to
collect statistics locally.
Also implement this for postgres_fdw. It is enabled by "restore_stats"
option both at the server and table level. Currently, it is the user's
responsibility to ensure remote statistics to import are up-to-date, so
the default is false.

The size of the I/O worker pool used to implement io_method=worker was
previously controlled by the io_workers setting, defaulting to 3. It
was hard to know how to tune it effectively. That is replaced with:
io_min_workers=2
io_max_workers=8 (up to 32)
io_worker_idle_timeout=60s
io_worker_launch_interval=100ms
The pool is automatically sized within the configured range according to
recent variation in demand. It grows when existing workers detect that
latency might be introduced by queuing, and shrinks when the
highest-numbered worker is idle for too long. Work was already
concentrated into low-numbered workers in anticipation of this logic.
The logic for waking extra workers now also tries to measure and reduce
the number of spurious wakeups, though they are not entirely eliminated.

This was useful before widespread Unicode adoption, and was based on the
internal encoding Emacs used to mix multiple sub-encodings. Emacs
itself has stopped using it, and our implementation hadn't been updated
with modern underlying standards. It is thought to be very unlikely
that anyone is still using it in the field. Since such a complex
encoding comes with costs and risks, we agreed to drop support.
Any existing database using this encoding would need to be dumped and
restored with a new encoding to upgrade to PostgreSQL 19, most likely
UTF8, since pg_upgrade would fail.
