In parallel mode, pg_dump tries to order the table-data-dumping
jobs with the largest tables first. However, it was only
consulting the pg_class.relpages value to determine table size.
This ignores TOAST data, and so we could make poor scheduling
decisions in cases where some large tables are mostly TOASTed
data while others have very little. To fix, add in the relpages
value for the TOAST table as well.
This patch also fixes a potential integer-overflow issue that
could result in poor scheduling on machines where off_t is
only 32 bits wide. Such platforms are probably extinct in the
wild, but we do still nominally support them, so repair.
Per complaint from Hans Buschmann.

For objects such as functions, pg_dump issues the same secondary
data-collection query against each object to be dumped. This can't
readily be refactored to avoid the repetitive queries, but we can
PREPARE these queries to reduce planning costs.
This patch applies the idea to functions, aggregates, operators, and
data types. While it could be carried further, the remaining sorts of
objects aren't likely to appear in typical databases enough times to
be worth worrying over. Moreover, doing the PREPARE is likely to be a
net loss if there aren't at least some dozens of objects to apply the
prepared query to.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7d7eb6128f40401d81b3b7a898b6b4de@W2012-02.nidsa.loc
Instead of issuing a secondary data-collection query against each
table to be dumped, issue just one query, with a WHERE clause
restricting it to be applied to only the tables we intend to dump.
Likewise for indexes, constraints, and triggers. This greatly
reduces the number of queries needed to dump a database containing
many tables. It might seem that WHERE clauses listing many target
OIDs could be inefficient, but at least on recent server versions
this provides a very substantial speedup.
(In principle the same thing could be done with other object types
such as functions; but that would require significant refactoring
of pg_dump, so those will be tackled in a different way in a
following patch.)
The new WHERE clauses depend on the unnest() function, which is
only present in 8.4 and above. We could implement them differently
for older servers, but there is an ongoing discussion that will
probably result in dropping pg_dump support for servers before 9.2,
so that seems like it'd be wasted work. For now, just bump the
server version check to require >= 8.4, without stopping to remove
any of the code that's thereby rendered dead. We'll mop that
situation up soon.
Patch by me, based on an idea from Andres Freund.

Avoid calling pg_get_partkeydef(), pg_get_expr(relpartbound),

The existing coding is at serious risk of failure if there
are any concurrent DROP TABLE commands going on --- including

Arguably this is a bug fix that should be back-patched, but it's
moderately invasive and we've not had all that many complaints

Throw away most of the existing logic for this, as it was very
inefficient thanks to expensive sub-selects executed to collect
ACL data that we very possibly would have no interest in dumping.
Reduce the ACL handling in the initial per-object-type queries
to be just collection of the catalog ACL fields, as it was
originally. Fetch pg_init_privs data separately in a single
scan of that catalog, and do the merging calculations on the
client side. Remove the separate code path used for pre-9.6
source servers; there is no good reason to treat them differently
from newer servers that happen to have empty pg_init_privs.

Split the DumpableObject.dump bitmask field into separate bitmasks
tracking which components are requested to be dumped (in the
existing "dump" field) and which components exist for the particular
object (in the new "components" field). This gets rid of some
klugy and easily-broken logic that involved setting bits and later
clearing them. More importantly, it restores the originally intended
behavior that pg_dump's secondary data-gathering queries should not
be executed for objects we have no interest in dumping. That
optimization got broken when the dump flag was turned into a bitmask,
because irrelevant bits tended to remain set in many cases. Since
the "components" field starts from a minimal set of bits and is
added onto as needed, ANDing it with "dump" provides a reliable
indicator of what we actually have to dump, without having to
complicate the logic that manages the request bits. This makes
a significant difference in the number of queries needed when,
for example, there are many functions in extensions.

The chr() function used PG_GETARG_UINT32() even though the argument is
declared as (signed) integer. As a result, you can pass negative

fix this and rearrange the internal error checking a bit to

pgfdw_report_error() in postgres_fdw gets a message from PGresult or
PGconn to report an error received from a remote server. Previously
if it could get a message from neither of them, it reported empty

Previously, pg_waldump would not display its statistics summary if it
got interrupted by SIGINT (or say a simple Ctrl+C). It gains with this
commit a signal handler for SIGINT, trapping the signal to exit at the
earliest convenience to allow a display of the stats summary before
exiting. This makes the reports more interactive, similarly to strace
-c.
This new behavior makes the combination of the options --stats and
--follow much more useful, so as the user will get a report for any
invocation of pg_waldump in such a case. Information about the LSN
range of the stats computed is added as a header to the report
displayed.
This implementation comes from a suggestion by Álvaro Herrera and

The existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding
the same set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to
adapt the objects created by the regression tests before the upgrade
(mostly, incompatible or non-existing objects need to be dropped from
the origin, perhaps re-created).
This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set
of \if clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version
of the cluster to-be-upgraded.
The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code re-use this new SQL
file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility issues in the
tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without having to
poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle the

If we've not yet collected any non-whitespace, non-comment token for a
new query, flush the current input line to history before reading
another line. This aligns psql's history behavior with the observation
that lines containing only comments are generally not thought of as

with that view, too, since it won't change the prompt until you
enter something that's neither whitespace nor a "--" comment.

psql's lexer has historically deleted dash-dash (single-line) comments
from what's collected and sent to the server. This is inconsistent
with what it does for slash-star comments, and people have complained
before that they wish such comments would be captured in the server log.
Undoing the decision completely seems like too big a behavioral change,
however. In particular, comments on lines preceding the start of a
query are generally not thought of as being part of that query.
What we can do to improve the situation is to capture comments that
are clearly *within* a query, that is after the first non-whitespace,
non-comment token but before the query's ending semicolon or backslash
command. This is a nearly trivial code change, and it affects only a
few regression test results.
(It is tempting to try to apply the same rule to slash-star comments.
But it's hard to see how to do that without getting strange history
behavior for comments that cross lines, especially if the user then
starts a new query on the same line as the star-slash. In view of
the lack of complaints, let's leave that case alone.)

An extension can already de facto reserve a GUC prefix using
EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders(). But this was only checked against
settings that exist at the time the extension is loaded (or the

With this change, EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders() saves the prefixes it
reserves in a list, and SET checks when it finds a "placeholder"
setting whether it belongs to a reserved prefix and issues a warning
in that case.

Commit 8523492d simplified what it meant for an item to be considered
"dead" to VACUUM: TIDs collected in memory (in preparation for index
vacuuming) must always come from LP_DEAD stub line pointers in heap
pages, found following pruning. This formalized the idea that index
vacuuming (and heap vacuuming) are optional processes. Unlike pruning,
they can be delayed indefinitely, without any risk of that violating
fundamental invariants. For example, leaving LP_DEAD items behind
clearly won't add to the risk of transaction ID wraparound. You can't
have transaction ID wraparound without transaction IDs. Renaming
anything that references DEAD tuples (tuples with storage) reinforces
all this.
Code outside vacuumlazy.c continues to fudge the distinction between
dead/deleted tuples, and LP_DEAD items. This is necessary because
autovacuum scheduling is still mostly driven by "dead items/tuples"
statistics. In the future we may find it useful to replace this model
with something more sophisticated, as a step towards teaching autovacuum
to perform more frequent vacuuming that targeting individual indexes
that happen to be more prone to becoming bloated through version churn.
In passing, simplify some function signatures that deal with VACUUM's
dead_items array.
