While a self-referential view doesn't actually work, it's possible
to create one, and it turns out that this breaks some of the
information_schema views. Those views call relation_is_updatable(),
which neglected to consider the hazards of being recursive. In
older PG versions you get a "stack depth limit exceeded" error,
but since v10 it'd recurse to the point of stack overrun and crash,
because commit a4c35ea1c took out the expression_returns_set() call
that was incidentally checking the stack depth.
Since this function is only used by information_schema views, it
seems like it'd be better to return "not updatable" than suffer
an error. Hence, add tracking of what views we're examining,
in just the same way that the nearby fireRIRrules() code detects
self-referential views. I added a check_stack_depth() call too,
just to be defensive.

Oversight in commit e6d8069522. Since that commit changed the format of
XLOG_DBASE_DROP WAL record, XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC needs to be bumped.
Spotted by Michael Paquier
Previously DROP DATABASE generated as many XLOG_DBASE_DROP WAL records
as the number of tablespaces that the database to drop uses. This caused
the scans of shared_buffers as many times as the number of the tablespaces
during recovery because WAL replay of one XLOG_DBASE_DROP record needs
that full scan. This could make the recovery time longer especially
when shared_buffers is large.
This commit changes DROP DATABASE so that it generates only one
XLOG_DBASE_DROP record, and registers the information of all the tablespaces
into it. Then, WAL replay of XLOG_DBASE_DROP record needs full scan of
shared_buffers only once, and which may improve the recovery performance.

Trying to use hypothetical indexes with BRIN currently fails when trying
to access a relation that does not exist when looking for the
statistics. With the current API, it is not possible to easily pass
a value for pages_per_range down to the hypothetical index, so this
makes use of the default value of BRIN_DEFAULT_PAGES_PER_RANGE, which
should be fine enough in most cases.
Being able to refine or enforce the hypothetical costs in more
optimistic ways would require more refactoring by filling in the
statistics when building IndexOptInfo in plancat.c. This would involve
ABI breakages around the costing routines, something not fit for stable
branches.
This is broken since 7e534ad, so backpatch down to v10.

Make patternsel_common() select the comparison operators to use with
hardwired logic that matches pattern_prefix()'s new logic, eliminating
its dependencies on particular index opfamilies.
This shouldn't change any behavior, as it's just replacing runtime
operator lookups with the same values hard-wired. But it makes these
closely-related functions look more alike, and saving some runtime
syscache lookups is worth something.
Actually, it's not quite true that this is zero behavioral change:
when estimating for a column of type "name", the comparison constant
will be kept as "text" not coerced to "name". But that's more correct
anyway, and it allows additional simplification of the coercion logic,
again syncing this more closely with pattern_prefix().

Historically, the planner's LIKE/regex index optimizations were only
carried out for specific index opfamilies. That's never been a great
idea from the standpoint of extensibility, but it didn't matter so
much as long as we had no practical way to extend such behaviors anyway.
With the addition of planner support functions, and in view of ongoing
work to support additional table and index AMs, it seems like a good
time to relax this.
Hence, recast the decisions in match_pattern_prefix() so that rather
than decide which operators to generate by looking at what the index
opfamily contains, we decide which operators to generate a-priori
and then see if the opfamily supports them. This is much more
defensible from a semantic standpoint anyway, since we know the
semantics of the chosen operators precisely, and we only need to
assume that the opfamily correctly implements operators it claims
to support.
The existing "pattern" opfamilies put a crimp in this approach, since
we need to select the pattern operators if we want those to work.
So we still have to special-case those opfamilies. But that seems
all right, since in view of the addition of collations, the pattern
opfamilies seem like a legacy hack that nobody will be building on.
The only immediate effect of this change, so far as the core code is
concerned, is that anchored LIKE/regex patterns can be mapped onto
BRIN index searches, and exact-match patterns can be mapped onto hash
indexes, not only btree and spgist indexes as before. That's not a
terribly exciting result, but it does fix an omission mentioned in
the ancient comments here.
Note: no catversion bump, even though this touches pg_operator.dat,
because it's only adding OID macros not changing the contents of
postgres.bki.

The planner's optimization code for LIKE and regex operators could
error out with a complaint like "no = operator for opfamily NNN"
if someone created a binary-compatible index (for example, a
bpchar_ops index on a text column) on the LIKE's left argument.
This is a consequence of careless refactoring in commit 74dfe58a5.
The old code in match_special_index_operator only accepted specific
combinations of the pattern operator and the index opclass, thereby
indirectly guaranteeing that the opclass would have a comparison
operator with the same LHS input type as the pattern operator.
While moving the logic out to a planner support function, I simplified
that test in a way that no longer guarantees that. Really though we'd
like an altogether weaker dependency on the opclass, so rather than
put back exactly the old code, just allow lookup failure. I have in
mind now to rewrite this logic completely, but this is the minimum
change needed to fix the bug in v12.

Instead of deciding to serialize a transaction merely based on the
number of changes in that xact (toplevel or subxact), this makes
the decisions based on amount of memory consumed by the changes.
The memory limit is defined by a new logical_decoding_work_mem GUC,
so for example we can do this
SET logical_decoding_work_mem = '128kB'
to reduce the memory usage of walsenders or set the higher value to
reduce disk writes. The minimum value is 64kB.
When adding a change to a transaction, we account for the size in
two places. Firstly, in the ReorderBuffer, which is then used to
decide if we reached the total memory limit. And secondly in the
transaction the change belongs to, so that we can pick the largest
transaction to evict (and serialize to disk).
We still use max_changes_in_memory when loading changes serialized
to disk. The trouble is we can't use the memory limit directly as
there might be multiple subxact serialized, we need to read all of
them but we don't know how many are there (and which subxact to
read first).
We do not serialize the ReorderBufferTXN entries, so if there is a
transaction with many subxacts, most memory may be in this type of
objects. Those records are not included in the memory accounting.
We also do not account for INTERNAL_TUPLECID changes, which are
kept in a separate list and not evicted from memory. Transactions
with many CTID changes may consume significant amounts of memory,
but we can't really do much about that.
The current eviction algorithm is very simple - the transaction is
picked merely by size, while it might be useful to also consider age
(LSN) of the changes for example. With the new Generational memory
allocator, evicting the oldest changes would make it more likely
the memory gets actually pfreed.
The logical_decoding_work_mem can be set in postgresql.conf, in which
case it serves as the default for all publishers on that instance.

Make it clear that _bt_pgaddtup() truncates the first data item on an

It turns out that commit e9f1c01b7 missed a case: we must print a

that would require the query's output column name(s) to be different
from what the bare VALUES clause would produce.
This applies in case an ALTER ... RENAME COLUMN has been done to
a view that formerly could be printed in simple format, as shown
in the added regression test case. It also explains bug #16119
from Dmitry Telpt, because it turns out that (unlike CREATE VIEW)
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW fails to apply any column aliases it's
given to the stored ON SELECT rule. So to get them to be printed,
we have to account for the resultDesc renaming. It might be worth
changing the matview code so that it creates the ON SELECT rule
with the correct aliases; but we'd still need these messy checks in
get_simple_values_rte to handle the case of a subsequent column
rename, so any such change would be just neatnik-ism not a bug fix.

to parse the list format was not very carefully thought through,

for the server names and ports, it's just wrong for the shared
secrets, and probably for the NAS Identifier strings as well.
The truncation aspect is at least potentially a problem too,
though typical values for these parameters would fit in 63 bytes.

the same except for not doing the two unwanted things, so fixing
