ALTER TABLE ... SET EXPRESSION AS removes statistics for the target column,
so running ANALYZE afterward is recommended. But this was previously not
documented, even though a similar recommendation exists for
ALTER TABLE ... SET DATA TYPE, which also clears the column's statistics.
This commit updates the documentation to include the ANALYZE recommendation
for SET EXPRESSION AS.
Since v18, virtual generated columns are supported, and these columns never
have statistics. Therefore, ANALYZE is not needed after SET DATA TYPE or
SET EXPRESSION AS when used on virtual generated columns. This commit also
updates the documentation to clarify that ANALYZE is unnecessary in such cases.
Back-patch the ANALYZE recommendation for SET EXPRESSION AS to v17
where the feature was introduced, and the note about virtual generated
columns to v18 where those columns were added.

The result of "DirectFunctionCall1(numeric_float8, d)" is already in
Datum form, but the code was incorrectly applying PG_RETURN_FLOAT8()
to it. On machines where float8 is pass-by-reference, this would
result in complete garbage, since an unpredictable pointer value
would be treated as an integer and then converted to float. It's not
entirely clear how much of a problem would ensue on 64-bit hardware,
but certainly interpreting a float8 bitpattern as uint64 and then
converting that to float isn't the intended behavior.
As luck would have it, even the complete-garbage case doesn't break
BRIN indexes, since the results are only used to make choices about
how to merge values into ranges: at worst, we'd make poor choices
resulting in an inefficient index. Doubtless that explains the lack
of field complaints. However, users with BRIN indexes that use the
numeric_minmax_multi_ops opclass may wish to reindex in hopes of
making their indexes more efficient.

Previously, enabling sync_replication_slots while wal_level was not set
to logical could cause the server to shut down. This was because
the postmaster performed a configuration check before launching
the slot synchronization worker and raised an ERROR if the settings
were incompatible. Since ERROR is treated as FATAL in the postmaster,
this resulted in the entire server shutting down unexpectedly.
This commit changes the postmaster to log that message with a LOG-level
instead of raising an ERROR, allowing the server to continue running
even with the misconfiguration.

It's possible to use a CHECK (col IS NOT NULL) constraint to skip
scanning a table for nulls when adding a NOT NULL constraint on the same
column. However, if the CHECK constraint is dropped on the same command
that the NOT NULL is added, this fails, i.e., makes the NOT NULL addition
slow. The best we can do about it at this stage is to document this so
that users aren't taken by surprise.
(In Postgres 18 you can directly add the NOT NULL constraint as NOT
VALID instead, so there's no longer much use for the CHECK constraint,
therefore no point in building mechanism to support the case better.)

In ReorderBufferProcessTXN(), used to send the data of a transaction to
an output plugin, INSERT ON CONFLICT changes (INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT) are
delayed until a confirmation record arrives (INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM),
updating the change being processed.
8c58624df4 has added an extra step after processing a change to update
the progress of the transaction, by calling the callback
update_progress_txn() based on the LSN stored in a change after a
threshold of CHANGES_THRESHOLD (100) is reached. This logic has missed
the fact that for an INSERT ON CONFLICT change the data is freed once
processed, hence update_progress_txn() could be called pointing to a LSN
value that's already been freed. This could result in random crashes,
depending on the workload.
Per discussion, this issue is fixed by reusing in update_progress_txn()
the LSN from the change processed found at the beginning of the loop,
meaning that for a INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change the progress is updated
using the LSN of the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change, and not the LSN from
its INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT change. This is actually more correct, as we
want to update the progress to point to the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM
change.
Masahiko Sawada has found a nice trick to reproduce the issue: hardcode
CHANGES_THRESHOLD at 1 and run test_decoding (test "ddl" being enough)
on an instance running valgrind. The bug has been analyzed by Ethan
Mertz, who also originally suggested the solution used in this patch.

pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
tgname), before dependency-driven reordering. That removes one source
of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
In other words, it helps with schema diffing. The logical name sort
ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
and operator families. pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
yielding spurious schema diffs. After this change, OIDs affect dump
order only in the event of catalog corruption. While pg_dump also
wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
coverage. Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
for the long term.
The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
172259afb5 added a schema diff test
sensitive to it. Buildfarm member hippopotamus witnessed that.
However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and this might avoid
other dump comparison failures. Hence, back-patch to v13 (all supported

The configure checks used two incorrect functions when checking the
presence of some routines in an environment:
- __get_cpuidex() for the check of __cpuidex().
- __get_cpuid() for the check of __cpuid().
This means that Postgres has never been able to detect the presence of
these functions, impacting environments where these exist, like Windows.
Simply fixing the function name does not work. For example, using
configure with MinGW on Windows causes the checks to detect all four of
__get_cpuid(), __get_cpuid_count(), __cpuidex() and __cpuid() to be
available, causing a compilation failure as this messes up with the
MinGW headers as we would include both <intrin.h> and <cpuid.h>.
The Postgres code expects only one in { __get_cpuid() , __cpuid() } and
one in { __get_cpuid_count() , __cpuidex() } to exist. This commit
reshapes the configure checks to do exactly what meson is doing, which
has been working well for us: check one, then the other, but never allow
both to be detected in a given build.
The logic is wrong since 3dc2d62d04 and 792752af4e where these
checks have been introduced (the second case is most likely a copy-pasto
coming from the first case), with meson documenting that the configure
checks were broken. As far as I can see, they are not once applied
consistently with what the code expects, but let's see if the buildfarm
has different something to say. The comment in meson.build is adjusted
as well, to reflect the new reality.

For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.
It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.
To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.
The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config. We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.
The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs. There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files. (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)
The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

The bleeding-edge libxml2 bug that we needed to work around a year

xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory is semi-deprecated is not enough to
justify a functionality regression. Hence, go back to doing it

Previously, the tool could replay the same transaction twice, once during
recovery, then again during replication after the subscriber was set up.
This occurred because the same recovery_target_lsn was used both to
finalize recovery and to start replication. If
recovery_target_inclusive = true, the transaction at that LSN would be
applied during recovery and then sent again by the publisher leading to
duplication.
To prevent this, we now set recovery_target_inclusive = false. This
ensures the transaction at recovery_target_lsn is not reapplied during
recovery, avoiding duplication when replication begins.

Solaris has never bothered to add "const" to the second argument
of PAM conversation procs, as all other Unixen did decades ago.
This resulted in an "incompatible pointer" compiler warning when
building --with-pam, but had no more serious effect than that,
so we never did anything about it. However, as of GCC 14 the
case is an error not warning by default.
To complicate matters, recent OpenIndiana (and maybe illumos
in general?) *does* supply the "const" by default, so we can't
just assume that platforms using our solaris template need help.
What we can do, short of building a configure-time probe,
is to make solaris.h #define _PAM_LEGACY_NONCONST, which
causes OpenIndiana's pam_appl.h to revert to the traditional
definition, and hopefully will have no effect anywhere else.
Then we can use that same symbol to control whether we include
"const" in the declaration of pam_passwd_conv_proc().

If a crash occurs while writing a WAL record that spans multiple pages, the

to an infinite wait if the remaining data is never written (e.g., no activity

This patch updates the logic first to read the page header and check for

the record as incomplete and avoids waiting for WAL data that will never

If a MERGE inside a CTE attempts an UPDATE or DELETE on a table with
BEFORE ROW triggers, and a concurrent UPDATE or DELETE happens, the
merge code would fail (crashing in the case of an UPDATE action, and
potentially executing the wrong action for a DELETE action).
This is the same issue that 9321c79c86 attempted to fix, except now
for a MERGE inside a CTE. As noted in 9321c79c86, what needs to happen
is for the trigger code to exit early, returning the TM_Result and
TM_FailureData information to the merge code, if a concurrent
modification is detected, rather than attempting to do an EPQ
recheck. The merge code will then do its own rechecking, and rescan
the action list, potentially executing a different action in light of
the concurrent update. In particular, the trigger code must never call
ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() for MERGE, since that is bound to fail because
MERGE has its own per-action projection information.
Commit 9321c79c86 did this using estate->es_plannedstmt->commandType
in the trigger code to detect that a MERGE was being executed, which
is fine for a plain MERGE command, but does not work for a MERGE
inside a CTE. Fix by passing that information to the trigger code as

This is the documented behavior, and it worked that way before
v10. However, addition of the connhost[] array created cases
where conn->connhost[conn->whichhost].port is NULL. The rest
of libpq is careful to substitute DEF_PGPORT[_STR] for a null
or empty port string, but we failed to do so here, leading to
possibly returning NULL. As of v18 that causes psql's \conninfo
command to segfault. Older psql versions avoid that, but it's
pretty likely that other clients have trouble with this,
so we'd better back-patch the fix.
In stable branches, just revert to our historical behavior of
returning an empty string when there was no user-given port
specification. However, it seems substantially more useful and
indeed more correct to hand back DEF_PGPORT_STR in such cases,
so let's make v18 and master do that.

Because not every path through JsonbIteratorNext() sets val->type,
some compilers complain that compareJsonbContainers() is comparing
possibly-uninitialized values. The paths that don't set it return
WJB_DONE, WJB_END_ARRAY, or WJB_END_OBJECT, so it's clear by
manual inspection that the "(ra == rb)" code path is safe, and
indeed we aren't seeing warnings about that. But the (ra != rb)
case is much less obviously safe. In Assert-enabled builds it
seems that the asserts rejecting WJB_END_ARRAY and WJB_END_OBJECT
persuade gcc 15.x not to warn, which makes little sense because
it's impossible to believe that the compiler can prove of its
own accord that ra/rb aren't WJB_DONE here. (In fact they never
will be, so the code isn't wrong, but why is there no warning?)
Without Asserts, the appearance of warnings is quite unsurprising.
We discussed fixing this by converting those two Asserts into
pg_assume, but that seems not very satisfactory when it's so unclear
why the compiler is or isn't warning: the warning could easily
reappear with some other compiler version. Let's fix it in a less
magical, more future-proof way by changing JsonbIteratorNext()
so that it always does set val->type. The cost of that should be
pretty negligible, and it makes the function's API spec less squishy.

getid() and putid(), which parse and deparse role names within ACL
input/output, applied isalnum() to see if a character within a role
name requires quoting. They did this even for non-ASCII characters,
which is problematic because the results would depend on encoding,
locale, and perhaps even platform. So it's possible that putid()
could elect not to quote some string that, later in some other
environment, getid() will decide is not a valid identifier, causing
dump/reload or similar failures.
To fix this in a way that won't risk interoperability problems
with unpatched versions, make getid() treat any non-ASCII as a
legitimate identifier character (hence not requiring quotes),
while making putid() treat any non-ASCII as requiring quoting.
We could remove the resulting excess quoting once we feel that
no unpatched servers remain in the wild, but that'll be years.
A lesser problem is that getid() did the wrong thing with an input
consisting of just two double quotes (""). That has to represent an
empty string, but getid() read it as a single double quote instead.
The case cannot arise in the normal course of events, since we don't
allow empty-string role names. But let's fix it while we're here.
Although we've not heard field reports of problems with non-ASCII
role names, there's clearly a hazard there, so back-patch to all
supported versions.

Previously, the check_hook functions for max_slot_wal_keep_size and
idle_replication_slot_timeout would incorrectly raise an ERROR for values
set in postgresql.conf during upgrade, even though those values were not
actively used in the upgrade process.
To prevent logical slot invalidation during upgrade, we used to set
special values for these GUCs. Now, instead of relying on those values, we
directly prevent WAL removal and logical slot invalidation caused by
max_slot_wal_keep_size and idle_replication_slot_timeout.
Note: PostgreSQL 17 does not include the idle_replication_slot_timeout
GUC, so related changes were not backported.

pl/pgsql's notion of an "expression" is very broad, encompassing
any SQL SELECT query that returns a single column and no more than
one row. So there are cases, for example evaluation of an aggregate
function, where the query involves significant work and it'd be useful
to run it with parallel workers. This used to be possible, but
commits 3eea7a0c9 et al unintentionally disabled it.
The simplest fix is to make exec_eval_expr() pass maxtuples = 0
rather than 2 to exec_run_select(). This avoids the new rule that
we will never use parallelism when a nonzero "count" limit is passed
to ExecutorRun(). (Note that the pre-3eea7a0c9 behavior was indeed
unsafe, so reverting that rule is not in the cards.) The reason
for passing 2 before was that exec_eval_expr() will throw an error
if it gets more than one returned row, so we figured that as soon
as we have two rows we know that will happen and we might as well
stop running the query. That choice was cost-free when it was made;
but disabling parallelism is far from cost-free, so now passing 2
amounts to optimizing a failure case at the expense of useful cases.
An expression query that can return more than one row is certainly
broken. People might now need to wait a bit longer to discover such
breakage; but hopefully few will use enormously expensive cases as
their first test of new pl/pgsql logic.
