Tom Lane	01aa88f712	Fix misc_sanity test to accept SHARED_DEPENDENCY_INITACL entries. ... Oversight in 534287403. We missed this up to now because the core regression tests create no such entries (at least up to this test), so the only way to see the failure is to do "make installcheck" in an installation where some other DB has such entries. I happened to do that just now ...	2 years ago
Tom Lane	a49d081235	Replace explicit PIN entries in pg_depend with an OID range test. ... As of v14, pg_depend contains almost 7000 "pin" entries recording the OIDs of built-in objects. This is a fair amount of bloat for every database, and it adds time to pg_depend lookups as well as initdb. We can get rid of all of those entries in favor of an OID range check, i.e. "OIDs below FirstUnpinnedObjectId are pinned". (template1 and the public schema are exceptions. Those exceptions are now wired into IsPinnedObject() instead of initdb's code for filling pg_depend, but it's the same amount of cruft either way.) The contents of pg_shdepend are modified likewise.

Peter Eisentraut	dfb75e478c	Add primary keys and unique constraints to system catalogs ... For those system catalogs that have a unique indexes, make a primary key and unique constraint, using ALTER TABLE ... PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE USING INDEX. This can be helpful for GUI tools that look for a primary key, and it might in the future allow declaring foreign keys, for making schema diagrams. The constraint creation statements are automatically created by genbki.pl from DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX directives. To specify which one of the available unique indexes is the primary key, use the new directive DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX_PKEY instead. By convention, we usually make a catalog's OID column its primary key, if it has one.

Andres Freund	578b229718	Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility. ... Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

Michael Paquier	96cdeae07f	Add toast tables to most system catalogs ... It has been project policy to create toast tables only for those catalogs that might reasonably need one. Since this judgment call can change over time, just create one for every catalog, as this can be useful when creating rather-long entries in catalogs, with recent examples being in the shape of policy expressions or customly-formatted SCRAM verifiers. To prevent circular dependencies and to avoid adding complexity to VACUUM FULL logic, exclude pg_class, pg_attribute, and pg_index. Also, to prevent pg_upgrade from seeing a non-empty new cluster, exclude pg_largeobject and pg_largeobject_metadata from the set as large object data is handled as user data. Those relations have no reason to use a toast table anyway.

Peter Eisentraut	ecd6b4342a	Add regression test for system catalog toast tables ... For the moment, this just records which system catalogs have toast tables right now. Future patches will possibly change that set. from Tom Lane via Joe Conway Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/84ddff04-f122-784b-b6c5-3536804495f8@joeconway.com/	8 years ago
Tom Lane	95e28b7f0c	Fix over-aggressive sanity check in misc_sanity.sql. ... Fix thinko in commit 8be8510cf: it's okay to have dbid == 0 in normal (non-pin) entries in pg_shdepend, because global objects such as databases are entered that way. The test would pass so long as it was run in a cluster containing no databases/tablespaces owned by, or granted to, roles other than the bootstrap superuser. That's the expected situation for "make check", but for "make installcheck", not so much. Reported by Ryan Murphy.

Tom Lane	8be8510cf8	Add testing to detect errors of omission in "pin" dependency creation. ... It's essential that initdb.c's setup_depend() scan each system catalog that could contain objects that need to have "p" (pin) entries in pg_depend or pg_shdepend. Forgetting to add that, either when a catalog is first invented or when it first acquires DATA() entries, is an obvious bug hazard. We can detect such omissions at reasonable cost by probing every OID-containing system catalog to see whether the lowest-numbered OID in it is pinned. If so, the catalog must have been properly accounted for in setup_depend(). If the lowest OID is above FirstNormalObjectId then the catalog must have been empty at the end of initdb, so it doesn't matter. There are a small number of catalogs whose first entry is made later in initdb than setup_depend(), resulting in nonempty expected output of the test, but these can be manually inspected to see that they are OK. Any future mistake of this ilk will manifest as a new entry in the test's output. Since pg_conversion is already in the test's output, add it to the set of catalogs scanned by setup_depend(). That has no effect today (hence, no catversion bump here) but it will protect us if we ever do add pin-worthy conversions. This test is very much like the catalog sanity checks embodied in opr_sanity.sql and type_sanity.sql, but testing pg_depend doesn't seem to fit naturally into either of those scripts' charters. Hence, invent a new test script misc_sanity.sql, which can be a home for this as well as tests on any other catalogs we might want in future.
