This reverts commit 1fd981f053, based on concerns that the logging
improvements do not justify the protocol breakage of dropping an unnamed
portal once its execution has completed.
It seems unlikely that one would try to send an execute or describe
message after the portal has been used, but if they do such
post-completion messages would not be able to process as the previous
versions. Let's revert this change for now so as we keep compatibility
and consider a different solution.
The tests added by 76bba03312 track the pre-1fd981f05369 behavior, and
are still valid.

Much of the "Replication Slot" chapter applies to physical and logical
slots, but it was sloppy in mentioning mostly physical slots. This
patch clarified which parts of the text apply to which slot types.
This chapter is referenced from the logical slot/subscriber chapter, so
it needs to do double duty.

Also mention that logical replication slots are created by default when
subscriptions are created. This should clarify the text.

On the CREATE POLICY page, the "Policies Applied by Command Type"
table was missing MERGE ... THEN DELETE and some of the policies
applied during INSERT ... ON CONFLICT and MERGE. Fix that, and try to
improve readability by listing the various MERGE cases separately,
rather than together with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Mention COPY ... TO
along with SELECT, since it behaves in the same way. In addition,
document which policy violations cause errors to be thrown, and which
just cause rows to be silently ignored.
Also, a paragraph above the table states that INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
DO UPDATE only checks the WITH CHECK expressions of INSERT policies
for rows appended to the relation by the INSERT path, which is
incorrect -- all rows proposed for insertion are checked, regardless
of whether they end up being inserted. Fix that, and also mention that
the same applies to INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING.
In addition, in various other places on that page, clarify how the
different types of policy are applied to different commands, and
whether or not errors are thrown when policy checks do not pass.
Backpatch to all supported versions. Prior to v17, MERGE did not
support RETURNING, and so MERGE ... THEN INSERT would never check new
rows against SELECT policies. Prior to v15, MERGE was not supported at
all.

WAIT FOR is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed. This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.
WAIT FOR needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise, the snapshot
could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of self-deadlock.
This is why separate utility command seems appears to be the most robust
way to implement this functionality. It's not possible to implement this as
a function. Previous experience shows that stored procedures also have
limitation in this aspect.

Previously, unnamed portals were kept until the next Bind message or the
end of the transaction. This could cause temporary files to persist
longer than expected and make logging not reflect the actual SQL
responsible for the temporary file.
This patch changes exec_execute_message() to drop unnamed portals
immediately after execution to completion at the end of an Execute
message, making their removal more aggressive. This forces temporary
file cleanups to happen at the same time as the completion of the portal
execution, with statement logging correctly reflecting to which
statements these temporary files were attached to (see the diffs in the
TAP test updated by this commit for an idea).
The documentation is updated to describe the lifetime of unnamed
portals, and test cases are updated to verify temporary file removal and
proper statement logging after unnamed portal execution. This changes
how unnamed portals are handled in the protocol, hence no backpatch is
done.

We have never had a SET syntax that allows setting a GUC_LIST_INPUT
parameter to be an empty list. A locution such as
SET search_path = '';
doesn't mean that; it means setting the GUC to contain a single item
that is an empty string. (For search_path the net effect is much the
same, because search_path ignores invalid schema names and '' must be
invalid.) This is confusing, not least because configuration-file
entries and the set_config() function can easily produce empty-list
values.
We considered making the empty-string syntax do this, but that would
foreclose ever allowing empty-string items to be valid in list GUCs.
While there isn't any obvious use-case for that today, it feels like
the kind of restriction that might hurt someday. Instead, let's
accept the forbidden-up-to-now value NULL and treat that as meaning an
empty list. (An objection to this could be "what if we someday want
to allow NULL as a GUC value?". That seems unlikely though, and even
if we did allow it for scalar GUCs, we could continue to treat it as
meaning an empty list for list GUCs.)

This commit makes the way WAL segments are handled from the source to
the target server slightly smarter: the copy of the WAL segments is now
skipped if these have been created before the point where source and
target have diverged (the WAL segment where the point of divergence
exists is still copied), because we know that such segments exist on
both the target and source. Note that the on-disk size of the WAL
segments on the source and target need to match. Hence, only the
segments generated after the point of divergence are now copied. A
segment existing on the source but not the target is copied.
Previously, all the WAL segments were just copied in full. This change
can make the rewind operation cheaper in some configurations, especially
for setups where some WAL retention causes many segments to remain on
the source server even after the promotion of a standby used as source
to rewind a previous primary.
A TAP test is added to track these new behaviors. The file map printed
with --debug now includes all the information related to WAL segments,
to be able to track if these are copied or skipped, and the test relies
on the debug output generated.

This patch adds support for a new SQL command:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
This command updates the sequence entries present in the
pg_subscription_rel catalog table with the INIT state to trigger
resynchronization.
In addition to the new command, the following subscription commands have
been enhanced to automatically refresh sequence mappings:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... ADD PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... DROP PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION
These commands will perform the following actions:
Add newly published sequences that are not yet part of the subscription.
Remove sequences that are no longer included in the publication.
This ensures that sequence replication remains aligned with the current
state of the publication on the publisher side.
Note that the actual synchronization of sequence data/values will be
handled in a subsequent patch that introduces a dedicated sequence sync
worker.

This commit introduces a new column mem_exceeded_count to the
pg_stat_replication_slots view. This counter tracks how often the
memory used by logical decoding exceeds the logical_decoding_work_mem
limit. The new statistic helps users determine whether exceeding the
logical_decoding_work_mem limit is a rare occurrences or a frequent
issue, information that wasn't available through existing statistics.
Bumps catversion.

Eager aggregation is a query optimization technique that partially
pushes aggregation past a join, and finalizes it once all the
relations are joined. Eager aggregation may reduce the number of
input rows to the join and thus could result in a better overall plan.
In the current planner architecture, the separation between the
scan/join planning phase and the post-scan/join phase means that
aggregation steps are not visible when constructing the join tree,
limiting the planner's ability to exploit aggregation-aware
optimizations. To implement eager aggregation, we collect information
about aggregate functions in the targetlist and HAVING clause, along
with grouping expressions from the GROUP BY clause, and store it in
the PlannerInfo node. During the scan/join planning phase, this
information is used to evaluate each base or join relation to
determine whether eager aggregation can be applied. If applicable, we
create a separate RelOptInfo, referred to as a grouped relation, to
represent the partially-aggregated version of the relation and
generate grouped paths for it.
Grouped relation paths can be generated in two ways. The first method
involves adding sorted and hashed partial aggregation paths on top of
the non-grouped paths. To limit planning time, we only consider the
cheapest or suitably-sorted non-grouped paths in this step.
Alternatively, grouped paths can be generated by joining a grouped
relation with a non-grouped relation. Joining two grouped relations
is currently not supported.
To further limit planning time, we currently adopt a strategy where
partial aggregation is pushed only to the lowest feasible level in the
join tree where it provides a significant reduction in row count.
This strategy also helps ensure that all grouped paths for the same
grouped relation produce the same set of rows, which is important to
support a fundamental assumption of the planner.
For the partial aggregation that is pushed down to a non-aggregated
relation, we need to consider all expressions from this relation that
are involved in upper join clauses and include them in the grouping
keys, using compatible operators. This is essential to ensure that an
aggregated row from the partial aggregation matches the other side of
the join if and only if each row in the partial group does. This
ensures that all rows within the same partial group share the same
"destiny", which is crucial for maintaining correctness.
One restriction is that we cannot push partial aggregation down to a
relation that is in the nullable side of an outer join, because the
NULL-extended rows produced by the outer join would not be available
when we perform the partial aggregation, while with a
non-eager-aggregation plan these rows are available for the top-level
aggregation. Pushing partial aggregation in this case may result in
the rows being grouped differently than expected, or produce incorrect
values from the aggregate functions.
If we have generated a grouped relation for the topmost join relation,
we finalize its paths at the end. The final paths will compete in the
usual way with paths built from regular planning.
The patch was originally proposed by Antonin Houska in 2017. This
commit reworks various important aspects and rewrites most of the
current code. However, the original patch and reviews were very
useful.

This patch reuses the existing aggtransspace in pg_aggregate to
signal that an aggregate's transition state can grow unboundedly. If
aggtransspace is set to a negative value, it now indicates that the
transition state may consume unpredictable or large amounts of memory,
such as in aggregates like array_agg or string_agg that accumulate
input rows.
This information can be used by the planner to avoid applying
memory-sensitive optimizations (e.g., eager aggregation) when there is
a risk of excessive memory usage during partial aggregation.
Bump catalog version.
Per idea from Robert Haas, though applied differently than originally
suggested.
