Currently, createPartitionTable() opens newly created table using its name.
This approach is prone to privilege escalation attack, because we might end
up opening another table than we just created.
This commit address the issue above by opening newly created table by its
OID. It appears to be tricky to get a relation OID out of ProcessUtility().
We have to extend TableLikeClause with new newRelationOid field, which is
filled within ProcessUtility() to be further accessed by caller.

This addresses a few problems with commit e5da0fe3c2 ("Catalog domain
not-null constraints").
In CREATE DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
CREATE DOMAIN d1 AS int [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(Before e5da0fe3c2, the constraint name was accepted but ignored.)
But in ALTER DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL VALUE
where VALUE is where for a table constraint the column name would be.
(This works as of e5da0fe3c2. Before e5da0fe3c2, this syntax
resulted in an internal error.)
But for domains, this latter syntax is confusing and needlessly
inconsistent between CREATE and ALTER. So this changes it to just
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(None of these syntaxes are per SQL standard; we are just living with
the bits of inconsistency that have built up over time.)
In passing, this also changes the psql \dD output to not show not-null
constraints in the column "Check", since it's already shown in the
column "Nullable". This has also been off since e5da0fe3c2.

A NESTED path allows to extract data from nested levels of JSON
objects given by the parent path expression, which are projected as
columns specified using a nested COLUMNS clause, just like the parent
COLUMNS clause. Rows comprised from a NESTED columns are "joined"
to the row comprised from the parent columns. If a particular NESTED
path evaluates to 0 rows, then the nested COLUMNS will emit NULLs,
making it an OUTER join.
NESTED columns themselves may include NESTED paths to allow
extracting data from arbitrary nesting levels, which are likewise
joined against the rows at the parent level.
Multiple NESTED paths at a given level are called "sibling" paths
and their rows are combined by UNIONing them, that is, after being
joined against the parent row as described above.

JSON_TABLE() allows JSON data to be converted into a relational view
and thus used, for example, in a FROM clause, like other tabular
data. Data to show in the view is selected from a source JSON object
using a JSON path expression to get a sequence of JSON objects that's
called a "row pattern", which becomes the source to compute the
SQL/JSON values that populate the view's output columns. Column
values themselves are computed using JSON path expressions applied to
each of the JSON objects comprising the "row pattern", for which the
SQL/JSON query functions added in 6185c9737c are used.
To implement JSON_TABLE() as a table function, this augments the
TableFunc and TableFuncScanState nodes that are currently used to
support XMLTABLE() with some JSON_TABLE()-specific fields.
Note that the JSON_TABLE() spec includes NESTED COLUMNS and PLAN
clauses, which are required to provide more flexibility to extract
data out of nested JSON objects, but they are not implemented here
to keep this commit of manageable size.

This allows a RETURNING clause to be appended to a MERGE query, to

Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which

A child table can specify a compression or storage method different
from its parents. This was previously an error. (But this was
inconsistently enforced because for example the settings could be
changed later using ALTER TABLE.) This now also allows an explicit
override if multiple parents have different compression or storage
settings, which was previously an error that could not be overridden.
The compression and storage properties remains unchanged in a child
inheriting from parent(s) after its creation, i.e., when using ALTER
TABLE ... INHERIT. (This is not changed.)
Before this change, the error detail would mention the first pair of
conflicting parent compression or storage methods. But with this
change it waits till the child specification is considered by which
time we may have encountered many such conflicting pairs. Hence the
error detail after this change does not include the conflicting
compression/storage methods. Those can be obtained from parent
definitions if necessary. The code to maintain list of all
conflicting methods or even the first conflicting pair does not seem
worth the convenience it offers. This change is inline with what we
do with conflicting default values.
Before this commit, the specified storage method could be stored in
ColumnDef::storage (CREATE TABLE ... LIKE) or ColumnDef::storage_name
(CREATE TABLE ...). This caused the MergeChildAttribute() and
MergeInheritedAttribute() to ignore a storage method specified in the
child definition since it looked only at ColumnDef::storage. This
commit removes ColumnDef::storage and instead uses
ColumnDef::storage_name to save any storage method specification. This
is similar to how compression method specification is handled.

This changes the pg_attribute field attstattarget into a nullable
field in the variable-length part of the row. If no value is set by
the user for attstattarget, it is now null instead of previously -1.
This saves space in pg_attribute and tuple descriptors for most
practical scenarios. (ATTRIBUTE_FIXED_PART_SIZE is reduced from 108
to 104.) Also, null is the semantically more correct value.
The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default
statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal
with null values. But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code.
Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null.
For system columns, the field is now always null. The ANALYZE code
skips system columns anyway.
To set a column's statistics target to the default value, the new
command form ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DEFAULT can be used. (SET
STATISTICS -1 still works.)

Assigning a precedence to a keyword that isn't a kind of expression
operator is rather dangerous, because it might mask grammar
ambiguities that we'd rather know about. It's much safer to attach
explicit precedences to individual rules, which will affect the
behavior of only that one rule. Moreover, when we do have to give
a precedence to a non-operator keyword, we should try to give it the
same precedence as IDENT, thereby reducing the risk of surprising
side-effects.

Allow the COMMUTATOR, NEGATOR, MERGES, and HASHES attributes to be set
by ALTER OPERATOR. However, we don't allow COMMUTATOR/NEGATOR to be
changed once set, nor allow the MERGES/HASHES flags to be unset once
set. Changes like that might invalidate plans already made, and
dealing with the consequences seems like more trouble than it's worth.
The main use-case we foresee for this is to allow addition of missed
properties in extension update scripts, such as extending an existing
operator to support hashing. So only transitions from not-set to set
states seem very useful.
This patch also causes us to reject some incorrect cases that formerly
resulted in inconsistent catalog state, such as trying to set the
commutator of an operator to be some other operator that already has a
(different) commutator.
While at it, move the InvokeObjectPostCreateHook call for CREATE
OPERATOR to not occur until after we've fixed up commutator or negator
links as needed. The previous ordering could only be justified by
thinking of the OperatorUpd call as a kind of ALTER OPERATOR step;
but we don't call InvokeObjectPostAlterHook therein. It seems better
to let the hook see the final state of the operator object.
In the documentation, move the discussion of how to establish
commutator pairs from xoper.sgml to the CREATE OPERATOR ref page.

This commit switches query jumbling so as prepared statement names are
treated as constants in DeallocateStmt. A boolean field is added to
DeallocateStmt to make a distinction between ALL and named prepared
statements, as "name" was used to make this difference before, NULL
meaning DEALLOCATE ALL.
Prior to this commit, DEALLOCATE was not tracked in pg_stat_statements,
for the reason that it was not possible to treat its name parameter as a
constant. Now that query jumbling applies to all the utility nodes,
this reason does not apply anymore.
Like 638d42a3c5, this can be a huge advantage for monitoring where
prepared statement names are randomly generated, preventing bloat in
pg_stat_statements. A couple of tests are added to track the new

We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints.
We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as
adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and
creating tables LIKE other tables. We also spawn not-null constraints
for inheritance child tables when their parents have primary keys.
These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of
conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some
adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't
match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it,
instead matching by column name that they apply to. This means we don't
require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy.
For now, we omit them for system catalogs. Maybe this is worth
reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses
either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is
already large and complicated enough.)
psql shows these constraints in \d+.
pg_dump requires some ad-hoc hacks, particularly when dumping a primary
key. We now create one "throwaway" not-null constraint for each column
in the PK together with the CREATE TABLE command, and once the PK is
created, all those throwaway constraints are removed. This avoids
having to check each tuple for nullness when the dump restores the
primary key creation.
pg_upgrading from an older release requires a somewhat brittle procedure
to create a constraint state that matches what would be created if the
database were being created fresh in Postgres 17. I have tested all the
scenarios I could think of, and it works correctly as far as I can tell,
but I could have neglected weird cases.
This patch has been very long in the making. The first patch was
written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value
('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one
was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead:
manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard
development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design
(mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as
well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK
expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current
implementation uses contype='n' again. During Postgres 16 this had
already been introduced by commit e056c557ae, but there were some
problems mainly with the pg_upgrade procedure that couldn't be fixed in
reasonable time, so it was reverted.
In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no
consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to
the letter of the standard, requiring an additional pg_attribute column
to track the OID of the not-null constraint for that column.

This relies on the "location" field added to TransactionStmt in 31de7e6,
now applied to the "gid" field used by 2PC commands. These commands are
now reported like:
COMMIT PREPARED $1
PREPARE TRANSACTION $1
ROLLBACK PREPARED $1
Applying constants for these commands is a huge advantage for workloads
that rely a lot on 2PC commands with different GIDs. Some tests are
added to track the new behavior.

In pg_stat_statements, savepoint names now show up as constants with a
parameter symbol, using as base query string the one added as a new
entry to the PGSS hash table, leading to:
RELEASE $1
ROLLBACK TO $1
SAVEPOINT $1
Applying constants to these query parts is a huge advantage for
workloads that generate randomly savepoint points, like ORMs (Django is
at the origin of this patch). The ODBC driver is a second layer that
likes a lot savepoints, though it does not use a random naming pattern.
A "location" field is added to TransactionStmt, now set only for
savepoints. The savepoint name is ignored by the query jumbling. The
location can be extended to other query patterns, if required, like 2PC
commands. Some tests are added to pg_stat_statements for all the query
patterns supported by the parser.
ROLLBACK, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TRANSACTION TO SAVEPOINT
have the same Node representation, so all these are equivalents. The
same happens for RELEASE and RELEASE SAVEPOINT.

This Patch introduces three SQL standard JSON functions:
JSON()
JSON_SCALAR()
JSON_SERIALIZE()
JSON() produces json values from text, bytea, json or jsonb values,
and has facilitites for handling duplicate keys.
JSON_SCALAR() produces a json value from any scalar sql value,
including json and jsonb.
JSON_SERIALIZE() produces text or bytea from input which containis
or represents json or jsonb;
For the most part these functions don't add any significant new
capabilities, but they will be of use to users wanting standard
compliant JSON handling.
Catversion bumped as this changes ruleutils.c.

b6e1157e7d made some changes to enforce that
JsonValueExpr.formatted_expr is always set and is the expression that
gives a JsonValueExpr its runtime value, but that's not really
apparent from the comments about and the code manipulating
formatted_expr. This commit fixes that.
Per suggestion from Álvaro Herrera.

b5913f6120 added a parenthesized syntax for CLUSTER, but it
requires specifying a table name. This is unlike commands such as
VACUUM and ANALYZE, which do not require specifying a table in the
parenthesized syntax. This change resolves this inconsistency.
This is preparatory work for a follow-up commit that will move the
unparenthesized syntax to the "Compatibility" section of the
CLUSTER documentation.

This is equivalent to a revert of f193883 and fb32748, with the addition
that the declaration of the SQLValueFunction node needs to gain a couple
of node_attr for query jumbling. The performance impact of removing the
function call inlining is proving to be too huge for some workloads
where these are used. A worst-case test case of involving only simple
SELECT queries with a SQL keyword is proving to lead to a reduction of
10% in TPS via pgbench and prepared queries on a high-end machine.
None of the tests I ran back for this set of changes saw such a huge
gap, but Alexander Lakhin and Andres Freund have found that this can be
noticeable. Keeping the older performance would mean to do more
inlining in the executor when using COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX for a function
expression, similarly to what SQLValueFunction does. This requires more
redesign work and there is little time until 16beta1 is released, so for
now reverting the change is the best way forward, bringing back the
previous performance.
Bump catalog version.

There was some odd wording in corner-case gram.y error messages "some
error ... at or near", which appears to have been modeled after "syntax
error" messages. However, they don't work that way, and they're just
wrong. They're also uncovered by tests. Remove the trailing words,
and also add tests.
They were introduced with 5a2832465fd8; backpatch to 15.

This reverts commit e056c557ae and minor later fixes thereof.
There's a few problems in this new feature -- most notably regarding
pg_upgrade behavior, but others as well. This new feature is not in any
way critical on its own, so instead of scrambling to fix it we revert it
and try again in early 17 with these issues in mind.

We now create pg_constaint rows for NOT NULL constraints with
contype='n'.
We propagate these constraints during operations such as adding
inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions, creating
tables LIKE other tables. We mostly follow the well-known rules of
conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some
adaptations; for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't
match NOT NULL ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it;
instead we match by column number. This means we don't require the
constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy.
For now, we omit them from system catalogs. Maybe this is worth
reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses
either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is
already large and complicated enough.)
This has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by
Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'),
which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was
killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead:
manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard
development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design
(mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as
well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK
expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current
implementation uses contype='n' again.
In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no
consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to
the letter of the standard, requiring additional pg_attribute columns to
track the OID of the NOT NULL constraint for that column.

- At the last minute and for no particularly good reason, I changed the
WITHOUT token to be marked especially for lookahead, from the one in
WITHOUT TIME to the one in WITHOUT UNIQUE. Study of upcoming patches
(where a new WITHOUT ARRAY WRAPPER clause is added) showed me that the
former was better, so put it back the way the original patch had it.
- update exprTypmod() for JsonConstructorExpr to return the typmod of
the RETURNING clause, as a comment there suggested. Perhaps it's
possible for this to make a difference with datetime types, but I
didn't try to build a test case.
- The nodeFuncs.c support code for new nodes was calling walker()
directly instead of the WALK() macro as introduced by commit 1c27d16e6e.
Modernize that. Also add exprLocation() support for a couple of nodes
that missed it. Lastly, reorder the code more sensibly.
The WITHOUT_LA -> WITHOUT change means that stored rules containing
either WITHOUT TIME ZONE or WITHOUT UNIQUE KEYS would change
representation. Therefore, bump catversion.
