The default interval for \watch to wait between executing queries,
when executed without a specified interval, was hardcoded to two
seconds. This adds the new variable WATCH_INTERVAL which is used
to set the default interval, making it configurable for the user.
This makes \watch the first command which has a user configurable
default setting.

Previously we used pg_int64 in three function prototypes in libpq. It
was added by commit 461ef73f to expose the platform-dependent type used
for int64 in the C89 era. As of commit 962da900 it is defined as
standard int64_t, and the dust seems to have settled.
Let's just use int64_t directly in these three client-facing functions
instead of (yet) another name. We've required C99 and thus <stdint.h>
since PostgreSQL 12, C89 and C++98 compilers are long gone, and client
applications very likely use standard types for their own 64-bit needs.
This also cleans up the obscure placement of a new #include <stdint.h>
directive in postgres_ext.h, required for the new definition. The
typedef was hiding in there for historical reasons, but it doesn't fit
postgres_ext.h's own description of its purpose and there is no evidence
of client applications including postgres_ext.h directly to see it.
Keep a typedef marked deprecated for backward compatibility, but move it
into libpq-fe.h where it was used.

Until now max_files_per_process=N limited each backend to open N files in
total (minus a safety factor), even if there were already more files opened in
postmaster and inherited by backends. Change max_files_per_process to control
how many additional files each process is allowed to open.
The main motivation for this is the patch to add io_method=io_uring, which
needs to open one file for each backend. Without this patch, even if
RLIMIT_NOFILE is high enough, postmaster will fail in set_max_safe_fds() if
started with a high max_connections. The cause of the failure is that, until
now, set_max_safe_fds() subtracted the already open files from
max_files_per_process.

SCRAM pass-through should not bypass the FDW security check as it was
implemented for postgres_fdw in commit 761c79508e.
This commit improves the security check by adding new SCRAM
pass-through checks to ensure that the required SCRAM connection
options are not overwritten by the user mapping or foreign server
options. This is meant to match the security requirements for a
password-using connection.
Since libpq has no SCRAM-specific equivalent of
PQconnectionUsedPassword(), we enforce this instead by making the
use_scram_passthrough option of postgres_fdw imply
require_auth=scram-sha-256. This means that if use_scram_passthrough
is set, some situations that might otherwise have worked are
preempted, for example GSSAPI with delegated credentials. This could
be enhanced in the future if there is desire for more flexibility.

Introduce a new conflict type, multiple_unique_conflicts, to handle cases
where an incoming row during logical replication violates multiple UNIQUE
constraints.
Previously, the apply worker detected and reported only the first
encountered key conflict (insert_exists/update_exists), causing repeated
failures as each constraint violation needs to be handled one by one
making the process slow and error-prone.
With this patch, the apply worker checks all unique constraints upfront
once the first key conflict is detected and reports
multiple_unique_conflicts if multiple violations exist. This allows users
to resolve all conflicts at once by deleting all conflicting tuples rather
than dealing with them individually or skipping the transaction.
In the future, this will also allow us to specify different resolution
handlers for such a conflict type.
Add the stats for this conflict type in pg_stat_subscription_stats.

The new GUC extension_control_path specifies a path to look for
extension control files. The default value is $system, which looks in
the compiled-in location, as before.
The path search uses the same code and works in the same way as
dynamic_library_path.
Some use cases of this are: (1) testing extensions during package
builds, (2) installing extensions outside security-restricted
containers like Python.app (on macOS), (3) adding extensions to
PostgreSQL running in a Kubernetes environment using operators such as
CloudNativePG without having to rebuild the base image for each new
extension.
There is also a tweak in Makefile.global so that it is possible to
install extensions using PGXS into an different directory than the
default, using 'make install prefix=/else/where'. This previously
only worked when specifying the subdirectories, like 'make install
datadir=/else/where/share pkglibdir=/else/where/lib', for purely
implementation reasons. (Of course, without the path feature,
installing elsewhere was rarely useful.)

Currently, the only way to pipe queries in an ongoing pipeline (in a
\startpipeline block) is to leverage the meta-commands able to create
extended queries such as \bind, \parse or \bind_named.
While this is good enough for testing the backend with pipelines, it has
been mentioned that it can also be very useful to allow queries
terminated by semicolons to be appended to a pipeline. For example, it
would be possible to migrate existing psql scripts to use pipelines by
just adding a set of \startpipeline and \endpipeline meta-commands,
making such scripts more efficient.
Doing such a change is proving to be simple in psql: queries terminated
by semicolons can be executed through PQsendQueryParams() without any
parameters set when the pipeline mode is active, instead of
PQsendQuery(), the default, like pgbench. \watch is still forbidden
while in a pipeline, as it expects its results to be processed
synchronously.
The large portion of this commit consists in providing more test
coverage, with mixes of extended queries appended in a pipeline by \bind
and friends, and queries terminated by semicolons.
This improvement has been suggested by Daniel Vérité.

The default of 128kB is unchanged, but the upper limit is changed from
32 blocks to 128 blocks, unless the operating system's IOV_MAX is too
low. Some other RDBMSes seem to cap their multi-block buffer pool I/O
around this number, and it seems useful to allow experimentation.
The concrete change is to our definition of PG_IOV_MAX, which provides
the maximum for io_combine_limit and io_max_combine_limit. It also
affects a couple of other places that work with arrays of struct iovec
or smaller objects on the stack, so we still don't want to use the
system IOV_MAX directly without a clamp: it is not under our control and
likely to be 1024. 128 seems acceptable for our current usage.
For Windows, we can't use real scatter/gather yet, so we continue to
define our own IOV_MAX value of 16 and emulate preadv()/pwritev() with
loops. Someone would need to research the trade-offs of raising that
number.
NB if trying to see this working: you might temporarily need to hack
BAS_BULKREAD to be bigger, since otherwise the obvious way of "a very
big SELECT" is limited by that for now.

The existing io_combine_limit can be changed by users. The new
io_max_combine_limit is fixed at server startup time, and functions as a
silent clamp on the user setting. That in itself is probably quite
useful, but the primary motivation is:
aio_init.c allocates shared memory for all asynchronous IOs including
some per-block data, and we didn't want to waste memory you'd never used
by assuming they could be up to PG_IOV_MAX. This commit already halves
the size of 'AioHandleIov' and 'AioHandleData'. A follow-up commit can
now expand PG_IOV_MAX without affecting that.
Since our GUC system doesn't support dependencies or cross-checks
between GUCs, the user-settable one now assigns a "raw" value to
io_combine_limit_guc, and the lower of io_combine_limit_guc and
io_max_combine_limit is maintained in io_combine_limit.

Buildfarm member crake has been complaining "WARNING: The contents of
fo:inline line 1 exceed the available area in the inline-progression
direction by 20500 millipoints. (See position 23808:106)" since
ba57dcfdc went in. The other doc-building animals are not showing
this warning, and I don't see it on my RHEL8 workstation either, but
I was able to reproduce it on a Fedora 41 box. So apparently this
is due to a recent-ish change in DocBook's line-breaking heuristics,
which caused it to cope less well with the UUIDs in these examples.
Put in some zero-width spaces to encourage the PDF toolchain to
break these lines in a better place. (Only one of these examples
actually needs this today, but I marked up all three to ensure that
they get wrapped in a consistent way.)
pg_stat_statements produces multiple entries for queries like
SELECT something FROM table WHERE col IN (1, 2, 3, ...)
depending on the number of parameters, because every element of
ArrayExpr is individually jumbled. Most of the time that's undesirable,
especially if the list becomes too large.
Fix this by introducing a new GUC query_id_squash_values which modifies
the node jumbling code to only consider the first and last element of a
list of constants, rather than each list element individually. This
affects both the query_id generated by query jumbling, as well as
pg_stat_statements query normalization so that it suppresses printing of
the individual elements of such a list.
The default value is off, meaning the previous behavior is maintained.

The previous commit introduced the infrastructure to start io_workers. This
commit actually makes the workers execute IOs.
IO workers consume IOs from a shared memory submission queue, run traditional
synchronous system calls, and perform the shared completion handling
immediately. Client code submits most requests by pushing IOs into the
submission queue, and waits (if necessary) using condition variables. Some
IOs cannot be performed in another process due to lack of infrastructure for
reopening the file, and must processed synchronously by the client code when
submitted.
For now the default io_method is changed to "worker". We should re-evaluate
that around beta1, we might want to be careful and set the default to "sync"
for 18.

This commit contains the basic, system-wide, infrastructure for
io_method=worker. It does not yet actually execute IO, this commit just
provides the infrastructure for running IO workers, kept separate for easier
review.
The number of IO workers can be adjusted with a PGC_SIGHUP GUC. Eventually
we'd like to make the number of workers dynamically scale up/down based on the
current "IO load".
To allow the number of IO workers to be increased without a restart, we need
to reserve PGPROC entries for the workers unconditionally. This has been
judged to be worth the cost. If it turns out to be problematic, we can
introduce a PGC_POSTMASTER GUC to control the maximum number.
As io workers might be needed during shutdown, e.g. for AIO during the
shutdown checkpoint, a new PMState phase is added. IO workers are shut down
after the shutdown checkpoint has been performed and walsender/archiver have
shut down, but before the checkpointer itself shuts down. See also

Since its introduction in fc34b0d9de, the default
maintenance_io_concurrency has been larger than the default
effective_io_concurrency. maintenance_io_concurrency primarily
controlled prefetching done on behalf of the whole system, for
operations like recovery. Therefore it makes sense for it to have a
value equal to or greater than effective_io_concurrency, which controls
I/O concurrency for reading a relation in a bitmap heap scan.
ff79b5b2ab increased effective_io_concurrency to 16, so we'll increase
maintenance_io_concurrency as well. For now, though, we'll keep the
defaults of effective_io_concurrency and maintenance_io_concurrency
equal to one another (16).
On fast, high IOPs systems, significantly higher values of
maintenance_io_concurrency are observably beneficial [1]. However, such
values would flood low IOPs systems and increase overall system I/O
latency.
It is worth mentioning that since 9256822608 and c3e775e608,
maintenance_io_concurrency also controls the I/O concurrency of each
vacuum worker. Since many autovacuum workers may be simultaneously
issuing I/Os, we want to keep maintenance_io_concurrency appropriately
conservative.

In the initial pipeline support for psql added in 41625ab8ea, \g was
used as the way to push extended query into an ongoing pipeline. \gx
was blocked.
These two meta-commands have format-related options that can be applied
when fetching a query result (expanded, etc.). As the results of a
pipeline are fetched asynchronously, not at the moment of the
meta-command execution but at the moment of a \getresults or a
\endpipeline, authorizing \g while blocking \gx leads to a confusing
implementation, making one think that psql should be smart enough to
remember the output format options defined from the time when \g or \gx
were executed. Doing so would lead to more code complications when
retrieving a batch of results. There is an extra argument other than
simplicity here: the output format options defined at the point of a
\getresults or a \endpipeline execution should be what affect the output
format for a batch of results.
To avoid any confusion, we have settled to the introduction of a new
meta-command called \sendpipeline, replacing \g when within a pipeline.
An advantage of this design is that it is possible to add new options
specific to pipelines when sending a query buffer, independent of \g
and \gx, should it prove to be necessary.
Most of the changes of this commit happen in the regression tests, where
\g is replaced by \sendpipeline. More tests are added to check that \g
is not allowed.

This is similar to pg_upgrade's --link option, except that here we won't
typically be able to use it for every input file: sometimes we will need
to reconstruct a complete backup from blocks stored in different files.
However, when a whole file does need to be copied, we can use an
optimized copying strategy: see the existing --clone and
--copy-file-range options and the code to use CopyFile() on Windows.
This commit adds a new strategy: add a hard link to an existing file.
Making a hard link doesn't actually copy anything, but it makes sense
for the code to treat it as doing so.
This is useful when the input directories are merely staging directories
that will be removed once the restore is complete. In such cases, there
is no need to actually copy the data, and making a bunch of new hard
links can be very quick. However, it would be quite dangerous to use it
if the input directories might later be reused for any other purpose,
since starting postgres on the output directory would destructively
modify the input directories. For that reason, using this new option
causes pg_combinebackup to emit a warning about the danger involved.

POLICY commands and ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY commands
are excluded from dumps and skipped during restores.
This is useful in scenarios where policies need to be redefined in the
target system or when moving data between environments with different
security requirements.

isn's weak mode used to be a simple static variable, settable only
via the isn_weak(boolean) function. This wasn't optimal, as this
means it doesn't respect transactions nor respond to RESET ALL.
This patch makes isn.weak a GUC parameter instead, so that
it acts like any other user-settable parameter.
The isn_weak() functions are retained for backwards compatibility.
But we must fix their volatility markings: they were marked IMMUTABLE
which is surely incorrect, and PARALLEL RESTRICTED which isn't right
for GUC-related functions either. Mark isn_weak(boolean) as
VOLATILE and PARALLEL UNSAFE, matching set_config(). Mark isn_weak()
as STABLE and PARALLEL SAFE, matching current_setting().

This commit introduces a new GUC, log_lock_failure, which controls whether
a detailed log message is produced when a lock acquisition fails. Currently,
it only supports logging lock failures caused by SELECT ... NOWAIT.
The log message includes information about all processes holding or
waiting for the lock that couldn't be acquired, helping users analyze and
diagnose the causes of lock failures.
Currently, this option does not log failures from SELECT ... SKIP LOCKED,
as that could generate excessive log messages if many locks are skipped,
causing unnecessary noise.
This mechanism can be extended in the future to support for logging
lock failures from other commands, such as LOCK TABLE ... NOWAIT.

Add log_connections option 'setup_durations' which logs durations of
several key parts of connection establishment and backend setup.
For an incoming connection, starting from when the postmaster gets a
socket from accept() and ending when the forked child backend is first
ready for query, there are multiple steps that could each take longer
than expected due to external factors. This logging provides visibility
into authentication and fork duration as well as the end-to-end
connection establishment and backend initialization time.
To make this portable, the timings captured in the postmaster (socket
creation time, fork initiation time) are passed through the
BackendStartupData.

Convert the boolean log_connections GUC into a list GUC comprised of the
connection aspects to log.
This gives users more control over the volume and kind of connection
logging.
The current log_connections options are 'receipt', 'authentication', and
'authorization'. The empty string disables all connection logging. 'all'
enables all available connection logging.
For backwards compatibility, the most common values for the
log_connections boolean are still supported (on, off, 1, 0, true, false,
yes, no). Note that previously supported substrings of on, off, true,
false, yes, and no are no longer supported.

Commit 0fbceae84 put a "&zwsp;" in almost but not quite the correct
place to avoid "The contents of fo:block line 1 exceed the available
area" warnings. Per buildfarm.
Expose the count of index searches/index descents in EXPLAIN ANALYZE's
output for index scan/index-only scan/bitmap index scan nodes. This
information is particularly useful with scans that use ScalarArrayOp
quals, where the number of index searches can be unpredictable due to
implementation details that interact with physical index characteristics
(at least with nbtree SAOP scans, since Postgres 17 commit 5bf748b8).
The information shown also provides useful context when EXPLAIN ANALYZE
runs a plan with an index scan node that successfully applied the skip
scan optimization (set to be added to nbtree by an upcoming patch).
The instrumentation works by teaching all index AMs to increment a new
nsearches counter whenever a new index search begins. The counter is
incremented at exactly the same point that index AMs already increment
the pg_stat_*_indexes.idx_scan counter (we're counting the same event,
but at the scan level rather than the relation level). Parallel queries
have workers copy their local counter struct into shared memory when an
index scan node ends -- even when it isn't a parallel aware scan node.
An earlier version of this patch that only worked with parallel aware
scans became commit 5ead85fb (though that was quickly reverted by commit
d00107cd following "debug_parallel_query=regress" buildfarm failures).
Our approach doesn't match the approach used when tracking other index
scan related costs (e.g., "Rows Removed by Filter:"). It is comparable
to the approach used in similar cases involving costs that are only
readily accessible inside an access method, not from the executor proper
(e.g., "Heap Blocks:" output for a Bitmap Heap Scan, which was recently
enhanced to show per-worker costs by commit 5a1e6df3, using essentially
the same scheme as the one used here). It is necessary for index AMs to
have direct responsibility for maintaining the new counter, since the
counter might need to be incremented multiple times per amgettuple call
(or per amgetbitmap call). But it is also necessary for the executor
proper to manage the shared memory now used to transfer each worker's
counter struct to the leader.

This commit adds per-backend WAL statistics, providing the same
information as pg_stat_wal, except that it is now possible to know how
much WAL activity is happening in each backend rather than an overall
aggregate of all the activity. Like pg_stat_wal, the implementation
relies on pgWalUsage, tracking the difference of activity between two
reports to pgstats.
This data can be retrieved with a new system function called
pg_stat_get_backend_wal(), that returns one tuple based on the PID
provided in input. Like pg_stat_get_backend_io(), this is useful when
joined with pg_stat_activity to get a live picture of the WAL generated
for each running backend, showing how the activity is [un]balanced.
pgstat_flush_backend() gains a new flag value, able to control the flush
of the WAL stats.
This commit relies mostly on the infrastructure provided by
9aea73fc61, that has introduced backend statistics.
Bump catalog version. A bump of PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID is not required,
as backend stats do not persist on disk.

which can be read as promising more than intended (to wit, that only

the SQL spec requires, namely that the data not get re-sorted between
window functions with compatible PARTITION BY/ORDER BY clauses.
Adjust the wording in hopes of making this clearer.

Presently, this section lists a couple of parallelized parts of
pg_upgrade and suggests a starting point for setting the --jobs
option. The list of parallelized tasks is not particularly
actionable, and the phrasing for the --jobs recommendation is
confusing to some readers.
This commit attempts to improve this section by eliminating the
list of parallelized tasks and instead highlighting that --jobs is
most useful for clusters with multiple databases or tablespaces.
Additionally, the recommendation for setting --jobs is simplified
to suggest starting with the number of CPU cores.

This commit adds a new --missing-only option that can be used in
conjunction with --analyze-only and --analyze-in-stages. When this
option is specified, vacuumdb will generate ANALYZE commands for a
relation if it is missing any statistics it should ordinarily have.
For example, if a table has statistics for one column but not
another, we will analyze the whole table. A similar principle
applies to extended statistics, expression indexes, and table
inheritance.
