We were emitting "(SELECT null::typename)", which is usually interpreted
as a scalar subselect, but not so much in the context "x = ANY(...)".
This led to remote-side parsing failures when remote_estimate is enabled.
A quick and ugly fix is to stick in an extra cast step,
"((SELECT null::typename)::typename)". The cast will be thrown away as
redundant by parse analysis, but not before it's done its job of making
sure the grammar sees the ANY argument as an a_expr rather than a
select_with_parens. Per an example from Hannu Krosing.
Document abrupt streaming client disconnection might leave slots in use,
so max_wal_senders should be slightly higher than needed to allow for
immediate reconnection.

Now that we're pretty much feature-frozen, it's time to update the checks
on system catalog foreign-key references.
(It looks like we missed doing this altogether for 9.3. Sigh.)
This has probably been broken for quite a long time. Buildfarm member
currawong's current results suggest that it's been broken since 9.1, so
backpatch this to that branch.
This only supports Python 2 - I will handle Python 3 separately, but
this is a fairly simple fix.
According to the Single Unix Spec and assorted man pages, you're supposed
to use the constants named AF_xxx when setting ai_family for a getaddrinfo
call. In a few places we were using PF_xxx instead. Use of PF_xxx
appears to be an ancient BSD convention that was not adopted by later
standardization. On BSD and most later Unixen, it doesn't matter much
because those constants have equivalent values anyway; but nonetheless
this code is not per spec.
In the same vein, replace PF_INET by AF_INET in one socket() call, which
wasn't even consistent with the other socket() call in the same function
let alone the remainder of our code.
Per investigation of a Cygwin trouble report from Marco Atzeri. It's
probably a long shot that this will fix his issue, but it's wrong in
any case.
Bind attempts to an LDAP server should time out after two seconds,
allowing additional lines in the service control file to be parsed
(which provide a fall back to a secondary LDAP server or default options).
The existing code failed to enforce that timeout during TCP connect,
resulting in a hang far longer than two seconds if the LDAP server
does not respond.

These are natural complements to the functions added by commit
0886fc6a5c, but they weren't included
in the original patch for some reason. Add them.
Patch by me, per a complaint by Tom Lane. Review by Tatsuo
Ishii.
Apparently, Windows can sometimes return an error code even when the
operation actually worked just fine. Rearrange the order of checks
according to what appear to be the best practices in this area.

Previously, in some places, socket creation errors were checked for
negative values, which is not true for Windows because sockets are
unsigned. This masked socket creation errors on Windows.
Backpatch through 9.0. 8.4 doesn't have the infrastructure to fix this.
I mixed up BLCKSZ and XLOG_BLCKSZ when I changed the way the buffer is
allocated a couple of weeks ago. With the default settings, they are both
8k, but they can be changed at compile-time.
In psql \d+, display oids only when they exist, and display replication
identity only when it is non-default. Also document the defaults for
replication identity for system and non-system tables. Update
regression output.
Add vacuumdb option --analyze-in-stages which runs ANALYZE three times
with different configuration settings, adopting the logic from the
analyze_new_cluster.sh script that pg_upgrade generates. That way,
users of pg_dump/pg_restore can also use that functionality.
Change pg_upgrade to create the script so that it calls vacuumdb instead
of implementing the logic itself.
By default, lcov will call whatever gcov it can find in the path. But
if the user has specified a different gcov to configure, this could be
incompatible. So tell lcov explicitly with an option which gcov program
to call.
This allows squeezing out the unused space in full-page writes. And more
importantly, it can be a useful debugging aid.
In hindsight we should've done this back when GIN was added - we wouldn't
need the 'maxoff' field in the page opaque struct if we had used pd_lower
and pd_upper like on normal pages. But as long as there can be pages in the
index that have been binary-upgraded from pre-9.4 versions, we can't rely
on that, and have to continue using 'maxoff'.
Most of the code churn comes from renaming some macros, now that they're
used on internal pages, too.
This change is completely backwards-compatible, no effect on pg_upgrade.
Make sure we throw an error instead of silently doing the wrong thing when
fed a strategy number we don't recognize. Also, in the places that did
already throw an error, spell the error message in a way more consistent
with our message style guidelines.
Per report from Paul Jones. Although this is a bug, it won't occur unless
a superuser tries to do something he shouldn't, so it doesn't seem worth
back-patching.
Apparently, the old text was written at a time when the only use of
constraint_name here was for a constraint to be dropped, but that's
no longer true.

The entry B-tree pages all follow the standard page layout. The 9.3 code has
this right. I inadvertently changed this at some point during the big
refactorings in git master.
Repositioning the tuplestore seek pointer in window_gettupleslot() turns
out to be a very significant expense when the window frame is sizable and
the frame end can move. To fix, introduce a tuplestore function for
skipping an arbitrary number of tuples in one call, parallel to the one we
introduced for tuplesort objects in commit 8d65da1f. This reduces the cost
of window_gettupleslot() to O(1) if the tuplestore has not spilled to disk.
As in the previous commit, I didn't try to do any real optimization of
tuplestore_skiptuples for the case where the tuplestore has spilled to
disk. There is probably no practical way to get the cost to less than O(N)
anyway, but perhaps someone can think of something later.
Also fix PersistHoldablePortal() to make use of this API now that we have
it.
Based on a suggestion by Dean Rasheed, though this turns out not to look
much like his patch.
Given that ALTER TABLESPACE has moved on from just existing for
general purpose rename/owner changes, it deserves its own top-level
production in the grammar. This also cleans up the RenameStmt to
only ever be used for actual RENAMEs again- it really wasn't
appropriate to hide non-RENAME productions under there.
Noted by Alvaro.
Looks like we can end up with different plans happening on the
buildfarm, which breaks the regression tests when we include
EXPLAIN output (which is done in the regression tests for
updatable security views, to ensure that the user-defined
function isn't pushed down to a level where it could view the
rows before the security quals are applied).
This adds in ANALYZE to hopefully make the plans consistent.
The ANALYZE ends up changing the original plan too, so the
update looks bigger than it really is. The new plan looks
perfectly valid, of course.
Views which are marked as security_barrier must have their quals
applied before any user-defined quals are called, to prevent
user-defined functions from being able to see rows which the
security barrier view is intended to prevent them from seeing.
Remove the restriction on security barrier views being automatically
updatable by adding a new securityQuals list to the RTE structure
which keeps track of the quals from security barrier views at each
level, independently of the user-supplied quals. When RTEs are
later discovered which have securityQuals populated, they are turned
into subquery RTEs which are marked as security_barrier to prevent
any user-supplied quals being pushed down (modulo LEAKPROOF quals).

First installment of the promised moving-aggregate support in built-in
aggregates: count(), sum(), avg(), stddev() and variance() for
assorted datatypes, though not for float4/float8.
In passing, remove a 2001-vintage kluge in interval_accum(): interval
array elements have been properly aligned since around 2003, but
nobody remembered to take out this workaround. Also, fix a thinko
in the opr_sanity tests for moving-aggregate catalog entries.

Until now, when executing an aggregate function as a window function
within a window with moving frame start (that is, any frame start mode
except UNBOUNDED PRECEDING), we had to recalculate the aggregate from
scratch each time the frame head moved. This patch allows an aggregate
definition to include an alternate "moving aggregate" implementation
that includes an inverse transition function for removing rows from
the aggregate's running state. As long as this can be done successfully,
runtime is proportional to the total number of input rows, rather than
to the number of input rows times the average frame length.
This commit includes the core infrastructure, documentation, and regression
tests using user-defined aggregates. Follow-on commits will update some
of the built-in aggregates to use this feature.

hacking by me
There were a couple of bugs here. First, if the fuzzy limit was exceeded,
the loop in entryGetItem might drop out too soon if a whole block needs to
be skipped because it's < advancePast ("continue" in a while-loop checks the
loop condition too). Secondly, the loop checked when stepping to a new page
that there is at least one offset on the page < advancePast, but we cannot
rely on that on subsequent calls of entryGetItem, because advancePast might
change in between. That caused the skipping loop to read bogus items in the
TbmIterateResult's offset array.
First item and fix by Alexander Korotkov, second bug pointed out by Fabrízio
de Royes Mello, by a small variation of Alexander's test query.
This operator class can accelerate subnet/supernet tests as well as
btree-equivalent ordered comparisons. It also handles a new network
operator inet && inet (overlaps, a/k/a "is supernet or subnet of"),
which is expected to be useful in exclusion constraints.
Ideally this opclass would be the default for GiST with inet/cidr data,
but we can't mark it that way until we figure out how to do a more or
less graceful transition from the current situation, in which the
really-completely-bogus inet/cidr opclasses in contrib/btree_gist are
marked as default. Having the opclass in core and not default is better
than not having it at all, though.
While at it, add new documentation sections to allow us to officially
document GiST/GIN/SP-GiST opclasses, something there was never a clear
place to do before. I filled these in with some simple tables listing
the existing opclasses and the operators they support, but there's
certainly scope to put more information there.

Instead of storing the ID of the dynamic shared memory control
segment in a file within the data directory, store it in the main
control segment. This avoids a number of nasty corner cases,
most seriously that doing an online backup and then using it on
the same machine (e.g. to fire up a standby) would result in the
standby clobbering all of the master's dynamic shared memory
segments.
