We were already reporting it, but only after the parallel workers were
finished, which is visibly much later than what happens in a serial
build.
With this change we report it when the leader starts its own sort phase
when participating in the build (the normal case). Now this might
happen a little later than when the workers start their sorting phases,
but a) communicating the actual phase start from workers is likely to be
a hassle, and b) the sort phase start is pretty fuzzy anyway, since
sorting per se is actually initiated by tuplesort.c internally earlier
than tuplesort_performsort() is called.

Commit b663a41363 introduced bulk inserts for FDW, but the handling of
tuple slots turned out to be problematic for two reasons. Firstly, the
slots were re-created for each individual batch. Secondly, all slots
referenced the same tuple descriptor - with reasonably small batches
this is not an issue, but with large batches this triggers O(N^2)
behavior in the resource owner code.
These two issues work against each other - to reduce the number of times
a slot has to be created/dropped, larger batches are needed. However,
the larger the batch, the more expensive the resource owner gets. For
practical batch sizes (100 - 1000) this would not be a big problem, as
the benefits (latency savings) greatly exceed the resource owner costs.
But for extremely large batches it might be much worse, possibly even
losing with non-batching mode.
Fixed by initializing tuple slots only once (and reusing them across
batches) and by using a new tuple descriptor copy for each slot.

We've accumulated quite a mix of instances of "an SQL" and "a SQL" in the
documents. It would be good to be a bit more consistent with these.
The most recent version of the SQL standard I looked at seems to prefer
"an SQL". That seems like a good lead to follow, so here we change all
instances of "a SQL" to become "an SQL". Most instances correctly use
"an SQL" already, so it also makes sense to use the dominant variation in
order to minimise churn.
Additionally, there were some other abbreviations that needed to be
adjusted. FSM, SSPI, SRF and a few others. Also fix some pronounceable,
abbreviations to use "a" instead of "an". For example, "a SASL" instead
of "an SASL".
Here I've only adjusted the documents and error messages. Many others
still exist in source code comments. Translator hint comments seem to be
the biggest culprit. It currently does not seem worth the churn to change

Commit 2453ea142 redefined pg_proc.proargtypes to include the types of
OUT parameters, for procedures only. While that had some advantages
for implementing the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, it was pretty
disastrous from a number of other perspectives. Notably, since the
primary key of pg_proc is name + proargtypes, this made it possible to
have multiple procedures with identical names + input arguments and
differing output argument types. That would make it impossible to call
any one of the procedures by writing just NULL (or "?", or any other
data-type-free notation) for the output argument(s). The change also
seems likely to cause grave confusion for client applications that
examine pg_proc and expect the traditional definition of proargtypes.
Hence, revert the definition of proargtypes to what it was, and
undo a number of complications that had been added to support that.
To support the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, when there are
no argmode markers in the command's parameter list, we perform the
lookup both ways (that is, matching against both proargtypes and
proallargtypes), succeeding if we get just one unique match.
In principle this could result in ambiguous-function failures
that would not happen when using only one of the two rules.
However, overloading of procedure names is thought to be a pretty
rare usage, so this shouldn't cause many problems in practice.
Postgres-specific code such as pg_dump can defend against any
possibility of such failures by being careful to specify argmodes
for all procedure arguments.
This also fixes a few other bugs in the area of CALL statements
with named parameters, and improves the documentation a little.
catversion bump forced because the representation of procedures
with OUT arguments changes.

Previously, we left the EPQ sub-executor alone until ExecEndLockRows.
This caused any buffer pins or other resources that it might hold to
remain held until ExecutorEnd, which in some code paths means that
they are held till the Portal is closed. That can cause user-visible
problems, such as blocking VACUUM; and it's unlike the behavior of
ordinary table-scanning nodes, which will have released all buffer
pins by the time they return an EOF indication.
We can make LockRows work more like other plan nodes by calling
EvalPlanQualEnd just before returning NULL. We still need to call it
in ExecEndLockRows in case the node was not run to completion, but in
the normal case the second call does nothing and costs little.

Buildfarm member hamerkop has been reporting that two cases in
connect/test5.pgc show different error messages than the test expects,
because since commit ffa2e4670 libpq's connection failure messages
are exposing the fact that a GSS-encrypted connection was attempted
and failed. That's pretty interesting information in itself, and
I certainly don't wish to shoot the messenger, but we need to do
something to stabilize the ECPG results.
For the second of these two failure cases, we can add the
gssencmode=disable option to prevent the discrepancy. However,
that solution is problematic for the first failure, because the only
unique thing about that case is that it's testing a completely-omitted
connection target; there's noplace to add the option without defeating
the point of the test case. After some thrashing around with
alternative fixes that turned out to have undesirable side-effects,
the most workable answer is just to give up and remove that test case.
Perhaps we can revert this later, if we figure out why the GSS code
is misbehaving in hamerkop's environment.

This only happens if (1) the new standby has no WAL available locally,

Backpatch-through: 9.6
Further thought about bug #17050 suggests that it's a good idea
to use CURSOR_OPT_NO_SCROLL for the implicit cursor opened by
a plpgsql FOR-over-query loop. This ensures that, if somebody
commits inside the loop, PersistHoldablePortal won't try to
rewind and re-read the cursor. While we'd have selected NO_SCROLL
anyway if FOR UPDATE/SHARE appears in the query, there are other
hazards with volatile functions; and in any case, it's silly to
expend effort storing rows that we know for certain won't be needed.
(While here, improve the comment in exec_run_select, which was a bit
confused about the rationale for when we can use parallel mode.
Cursor operations aren't a hazard for nameless portals.)
This wasn't an issue until v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting such cursors. Hence, back-patch to v11.
Per bug #17050 from Алексей Булгаков.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17050-f77aa827dc85247c@postgresql.org
PersistHoldablePortal has long assumed that it should store the
entire output of the query-to-be-persisted, which requires rewinding
and re-reading the output. This is problematic if the query is not
stable: we might get different row contents, or even a different
number of rows, which'd confuse the cursor state mightily.
In the case where the cursor is NO SCROLL, this is very easy to
solve: just store the remaining query output, without any rewinding,
and tweak the portal's cursor state to match. Aside from removing
the semantic problem, this could be significantly more efficient
than storing the whole output.
If the cursor is scrollable, there's not much we can do, but it
was already the case that scrolling a volatile query's result was
pretty unsafe. We can just document more clearly that getting
correct results from that is not guaranteed.
There are already prohibitions in place on using SCROLL with
FOR UPDATE/SHARE, which is one way for a SELECT query to have
non-stable results. We could imagine prohibiting SCROLL when
the query contains volatile functions, but that would be
expensive to enforce. Moreover, it could break applications
that work just fine, if they have functions that are in fact
stable but the user neglected to mark them so. So settle for
documenting the hazard.
While this problem has existed in some guise for a long time,
it got a lot worse in v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting plpgsql cursors (perhaps implicit ones) even
when they violate the rules for what can be marked WITH HOLD.
Hence, I've chosen to back-patch to v11 but not further.

The FE/BE protocol identifies parameters with an Int16 index, which
limits the maximum number of parameters per query to 65535. With
batching added to postges_fdw this limit is much easier to hit, as
the whole batch is essentially a single query, making this error much
easier to hit.
The failures are a bit unpredictable, because it also depends on the
number of columns in the query. So instead of just failing, this patch
tweaks the batch_size to not exceed the maximum number of parameters.

The use of this function is limited to superusers and the code includes
a hardcoded check for that. However, the code would look for the PGPROC
entry to signal for the memory dump before checking if the user is a
superuser or not, which does not make sense if we know that an error
will be returned. Note that the code would let one know if a process
was a PostgreSQL process or not even for non-authorized users, which is
not the case now, but this avoids taking ProcArrayLock that will most

If autovacuum comes along just after we fill table test_seg with
some data, it will update the stats to the point where we prefer
a plain indexscan over a bitmap scan, breaking the expected
output (as well as the point of the test case). To fix, just
force a bitmap scan to be chosen here.
This has evidently been wrong since commit de1d042f5. It's not
clear why we just recently saw any buildfarm failures due to it;
but prairiedog has failed twice on this test in the past week.
Hence, backpatch to v11 where this test case came in.
An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string
could cause various processing loops to run past the string's
terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to
a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following
memory.
This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify
the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing
on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code
which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of
its input.
Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team
elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because
any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or
the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command.
(If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to
cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences
than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already
made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313.
To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it
won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string.
In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is.
It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though,
so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files
that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not
be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping
functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a
version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling
this issue.)

Commit 86dc90056 expects that FDWs can cope with whole-row Vars for
their tables, even if the Vars are marked with vartype RECORDOID.
Previously, whole-row Vars generated by the planner had vartype equal
to the relevant table's rowtype OID. (The point behind this change is
to enable sharing of resjunk columns across inheritance child tables.)
It turns out that postgres_fdw fails to cope with this, though through
bad fortune none of its test cases exposed that. Things mostly work,
but when we try to read back a value of such a Var, the expected
rowtype is not available to record_in(). Fortunately, it's not
difficult to hack up the tupdesc that controls this process to
substitute the foreign table's rowtype for RECORDOID. Thus we can
solve the runtime problem while still sharing the resjunk column
with other tables.

DatumGetPointer() for Datums being passed into functions where the
parameter is expected to be a cstring. We saw no compiler warnings with

be a char * rather than a void *. However, that's no excuse and we should
be using the correct macro for the job.
Here we also make use of OutputFunctionCall() rather than using
FunctionCall1() directly to call the type's output function.
OutputFunctionCall() is the standard way to do this. It casts the
returned value to a cstring for us.
In passing get rid of a duplicate call to strlen(). Most compilers will
likely optimize away the 2nd call, but there may be some that won't. In
any case, this just aligns the code to some other nearby code that already
