It's also possible to specify a separate port for each host.
Previously, we'd loop over every address returned by looking up the
host name; now, we'll try every address for every host name.

The foreign-key-aware logic for estimation of join sizes (added in commit
100340e2d) blindly tried to apply the concept to rels that are actually
parents of inheritance trees. This is just plain wrong so far as the
referenced relation is concerned, since the inheritance scan may well
produce lots of rows that are not participating in the constraint. It's
wrong for the referencing relation too, for the same reason; although on
that end we could conceivably detect whether all members of the inheritance
tree have equivalent FK constraints pointing to the same referenced rel,
and then proceed more or less as we do now. But pending somebody writing
code to do that, we must disable this, because it's producing completely
silly estimates when there's an FK linking the heads of inheritance trees.
Per bug #14404 from Clinton Adams. Back-patch to 9.6 where the new
estimation logic came in.

While converting expressions in an upper-level plan node so that they
reference Vars and expressions provided by the input plan node(s),
don't convert plain Const items, even if there happens to be a matching
Const in the input. It's silly to do so because a Var is more expensive to
execute than a Const. Moreover, converting can fool ExecCheckPlanOutput's
check that an insert or update query inserts nulls into dropped columns,
leading to "query provides a value for a dropped column" errors during
INSERT or UPDATE on a table with a dropped column. We could solve this
by making that check more complicated, but I don't see the point; this fix
should save a marginal number of cycles, and it also makes for less messy
EXPLAIN output, as shown by the ensuing regression test result changes.
Per report from Pavel Hanák. I have not incorporated a test case based
on that example, as there doesn't seem to be a simple way of checking
this in isolation without making a bunch of assumptions about other
planner and SQL-function behavior.
Back-patch to 9.6. This setrefs.c behavior exists much further back,
but there is not currently reason to think that it causes problems

tsquery_rewrite() tries to find matches to subsets of AND/OR conditions;
for example, in the query 'a | b | c' the substitution subquery 'a | c'
should match and lead to replacement of the first and third items.
That's fine, but the matching algorithm apparently takes about O(2^N)
for an N-clause query (I say "apparently" because the code is also both
unintelligible and uncommented). We could probably do better than that
even without any extra assumptions --- but actually, we know that the
subclauses are sorted, indeed are depending on that elsewhere in this very
same function. So we can just scan the two lists a single time to detect
matches, as though we were doing a merge join.
Also do a re-flattening call (QTNTernary()) in tsquery_rewrite_query, just
to make sure that the tree fits the expectations of the next search cycle.
I didn't try to devise a test case for this, but I'm pretty sure that the
oversight could have led to failure to match in some cases where a match
would be expected.

QTNTernary() contains logic to flatten, eg, '(a & b) & c' into 'a & b & c',
which is all well and good, but it tries to do that to NOT nodes as well,
so that '!!a' gets changed to '!a'. Explicitly restrict the conversion to
be done only on AND and OR nodes, and add a test case illustrating the bug.
In passing, provide some comments for the sadly naked functions in
tsquery_util.c, and simplify some baroque logic in QTNFree(), which
I think may have been leaking some items it intended to free.
Noted while investigating a complaint from Andreas Seltenreich.

In the previous coding, if an aggregate's transition function returned an
expanded array, nodeAgg.c and nodeWindowAgg.c would always copy it and thus
force it into the flat representation. This led to ping-ponging between
flat and expanded formats, which costs a lot. For an aggregate using
array_append as transition function, I measured about a 15X slowdown
compared to the pre-9.5 code, when working on simple int[] arrays.
Of course, the old code was already O(N^2) in this usage due to copying
flat arrays all the time, but it wasn't quite this inefficient.
To fix, teach nodeAgg.c and nodeWindowAgg.c to allow expanded transition
values without copying, so long as the transition function takes care to
return the transition value already properly parented under the aggcontext.
That puts a bit of extra responsibility on the transition function, but
doing it this way allows us to not need any extra logic in the fast path
of advance_transition_function (ie, with a pass-by-value transition value,
or with a modified-in-place pass-by-reference value). We already know
that that's a hot spot so I'm loath to add any cycles at all there. Also,
while only array_append currently knows how to follow this convention,
this solution allows other transition functions to opt-in without needing
to have a whitelist in the core aggregation code.
(The reason we would need a whitelist is that currently, if you pass a
R/W expanded-object pointer to an arbitrary function, it's allowed to do
anything with it including deleting it; that breaks the core agg code's
assumption that it should free discarded values. Returning a value under
aggcontext is the transition function's signal that it knows it is an
aggregate transition function and will play nice. Possibly the API rules
for expanded objects should be refined, but that would not be a
back-patchable change.)
With this fix, an aggregate using array_append is no longer O(N^2), so it's
much faster than pre-9.5 code rather than much slower. It's still a bit
slower than the bespoke infrastructure for array_agg, but the differential
seems to be only about 10%-20% rather than orders of magnitude.

It's currently necessary to take a heavyweight lock when scanning a
hash bucket, but pgstattuple only examines individual pages, so it
doesn't need to do this. If, for some hypothetical reason, it did
need to do any heavyweight locking here, this logic would probably
still be incorrect, because most of the locks that it is taking are
meaningless. Only a heavyweight lock on a primary bucket page has any
meaning, but this takes heavyweight locks on all pages regardless of
function - and in particular overflow pages, where you might imagine
that we'd want to lock the primary bucket page if we needed to lock
anything at all.
This is arguably a bug that has existed since this code was added in
commit dab42382f4, but I'm not going to
bother back-patching it because in most cases the only consequence is
that running pgstattuple() on a hash index is a little slower than it
otherwise might be, which is no big deal.
Extracted from a vastly larger patch by Amit Kapila which heavyweight
locking for hash indexes entirely; analysis of why this can be done
independently of the rest by me.
The error message when we couldn't determine the encoding from a locale
said to report a bug about that. That might have been appropriate when
this code was first added, but by now this works pretty solidly and any
encodings we don't recognize we probably just don't support. We still
print the warning, but no longer invite the bug report.
This causes the supplied function name to appear in any error message,
making the error message friendlier and relieving us from having to
provide our own in some cases.
This bug exists as far back as 9.0, when Hot Standby was introduced,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

If a restartpoint flushed no dirty buffers, it could fail to update
the minimum recovery point, leading to a minimum recovery point prior
to the starting REDO location. perform_base_backup() would interpret
that as meaning that no WAL files at all needed to be included in the
backup, failing an internal sanity check. To fix, have restartpoints
always update the minimum recovery point to just after the checkpoint
record itself, so that the file (or files) containing the checkpoint
record will always be included in the backup.

The code to change the deferrability properties of a foreign-key constraint
updated all the associated triggers to match; but a moment's examination of
the code that creates those triggers in the first place shows that only
some of them should track the constraint's deferrability properties. This
leads to odd failures in subsequent exercise of the foreign key, as the
triggers are fired at the wrong times. Fix that, and add a regression test
comparing the trigger properties produced by ALTER CONSTRAINT with those
you get by creating the constraint as-intended to begin with.

I broke this in commit f3094920a. Apparently it's dead code anyway,
at least as far as our buildfarm is concerned (and the upstream IANA
code doesn't worry at all about symlink() not being present).
But as long as the rest of our code is willing to guard against not
having symlink(), this should too. Noted while investigating a
tangentially-related complaint from Sandeep Thakkar.

Clarify documentation about inheritance of check constraints, in
particular mentioning the NO INHERIT option, which didn't exist when
this text was written.
Document that in an inherited query, the applicable row security policies
are those of the explicitly-named table, not its children. This is the
intended behavior (per off-list discussion with Stephen Frost), and there
are regression tests for it, but it wasn't documented anywhere user-facing
as far as I could find.
Do a bit of wordsmithing on the description of inherited access-privilege

Turns out that the output format of Python Decimal isn't totally platform-
independent either. There are other tests for multi-dimensional arrays,
so rather than try to fix this test case, just remove it.
Per buildfarm member prairiedog.
Instead of treating all python sequence types as array dimensions, except
for tuples and various kinds of strings, only treat Python lists as
dimensions. The PyBytes_Check() function used previously is only available
on Python 2.6 and newer, and it was a bit fiddly anyway. The list of
exceptions would require adjustment if Python got a new kind of a sequence
similar to bytes/unicodes/strings, so only checking for Lists seems more
future-proof. The documentation only mentioned using Lists, so this is
closer to what was documented, anyway.
This should fix the buildfarm failures on systems building with Python 2.5,
although I don't have Python 2.5 installed myself to test with.
The number of decimals printed for floats varied in this test case, as
noted by several buildfarm members. There's nothing special about floats
and arrays in the code being tested, so replace the floats with numerics to
make the output platform-independent.
That used to be accepted, so let's try to give a hint to users on why
their PL/python functions no longer work.

Multi-dimensional arrays can now be used as arguments to a PL/python function
(used to throw an error), and they can be returned as nested Python lists.
This makes a backwards-incompatible change to the handling of composite
types in arrays. Previously, you could return an array of composite types
as "[[col1, col2], [col1, col2]]", but now that is interpreted as a two-
dimensional array. Composite types in arrays must now be returned as
Python tuples, not lists, to resolve the ambiguity. I.e. "[(col1, col2),
(col1, col2)]".
To avoid breaking backwards-compatibility, when not necessary, () is still
accepted for arrays at the top-level, but it is always treated as a
single-dimensional array. Likewise, [] is still accepted for composite types,
when they are not in an array. Update the documentation to recommend using []
for arrays, and () for composite types, with a mention that those other things
are also accepted in some contexts.
This needs to be mentioned in the release notes.

The ArchiveHandle structure contained the archive format version number
twice, once as a single field and once split into components. Simplify
that by just keeping the single field and adding some macros to extract
the components. Introduce some macros for composing version numbers, to
eliminate the repeated use of magic formulas. Drop the unused trailing

INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (specifically ExecCheckHeapTupleVisible) contains
another example of this unsafe coding practice. It is much harder to get
a failure out of it than the case fixed in commit 6292c2339, because in
most scenarios any hint bits that could be set would have already been set
earlier in the command. However, Konstantin Knizhnik reported a failure
with a custom transaction manager, and it's clearly possible to get a
failure via a race condition in async-commit mode.
For lack of a reproducible example, no regression test case in this
commit.
I did some testing with Asserts added to tqual.c's functions, and can say
that running "make check-world" exposed these two bugs and no others.
The Asserts are messy enough that I've not added them to the code for now.

A transaction that conflicts against itself, for example
INSERT INTO t(pk) VALUES (1),(1) ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;
should behave the same regardless of isolation level. It certainly
shouldn't throw a serialization error, as retrying will not help.

Despite the argumentation I wrote in commit 7a2fe85b0, it's unsafe to do
this, because in corner cases it's possible for HeapTupleSatisfiesSelf
to try to set hint bits on the target tuple; and at least since 8.2 we
have required the buffer content lock to be held while setting hint bits.
The added regression test exercises one such corner case. Unpatched, it
causes an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, or otherwise would
cause a hint bit change in a buffer we don't hold lock on, which given
the right race condition could result in checksum failures or other data
consistency problems. The odds of a problem in the field are probably
pretty small, but nonetheless back-patch to all supported branches.
