GiST's getNextNearest() function attempts to pfree the previously-returned
tuple if any (that is, scan->xs_hitup in HEAD, or scan->xs_itup in older
branches). However, if we are rescanning a plan node after ending a
previous scan early, those tuple pointers could be pointing to garbage,
because they would be pointing into the scan's pageDataCxt or queueCxt
which has been reset. In a debug build this reliably results in a crash,
although I think it might sometimes accidentally fail to fail in
production builds.
To fix, clear the pointer field anyplace we reset a context it might
be pointing into. This may be overkill --- I think probably only the
queueCxt case is involved in this bug, so that resetting in gistrescan()
would be sufficient --- but dangling pointers are generally bad news,
so let's avoid them.
Another plausible answer might be to just not bother with the pfree in
getNextNearest(). The reconstructed tuples would go away anyway in the
context resets, and I'm far from convinced that freeing them a bit earlier
really saves anything meaningful. I'll stick with the original logic in
this patch, but if we find more problems in the same area we should
consider that approach.
Per bug #14641 from Denis Smirnov. Back-patch to 9.5 where this
logic was introduced.

password_encryption was a boolean before version 10, so cope with "on" and
"off".
Also, change the behavior with "plain", to treat it the same as "md5".
We're discussing removing the password_encryption='plain' option from the
server altogether, which will make this the only reasonable choice, but
even if we kept it, it seems best to never send the password in cleartext.
It only produced <row> elements but no wrapping <table> element.
By contrast, cursor_to_xmlschema produced a schema that is now correct

This removes a test case added by commit b69ec7cc9, which was intended
to exercise a corner case involving the rule used at that time that
materialized views were unpopulated iff they had physical size zero.
We got rid of that rule very shortly later, in commit 1d6c72a55, but
kept the test case. However, because the case now asks what VACUUM
will do to a zero-sized physical file, it would be pretty surprising
if the answer were ever anything but "nothing" ... and if things were
indeed that broken, surely we'd find it out from other tests. Since
the test involves a table that's fairly large by regression-test
standards (100K rows), it's quite slow to run. Dropping it should
save some buildfarm cycles, so let's do that.

tzparse() would attempt to load the "posixrules" timezone database file on
each call. That might seem like it would only be an issue when selecting a
POSIX-style zone name rather than a zone defined in the timezone database,
but it turns out that each zone definition file contains a POSIX-style zone
string and tzload() will call tzparse() to parse that. Thus, when scanning
the whole timezone file tree as we do in the pg_timezone_names view,
"posixrules" was read repetitively for each zone definition file. Fix
that by caching the file on first use within any given process. (We cache
other zone definitions for the life of the process, so there seems little
reason not to cache this one as well.) This probably won't help much in
processes that never run pg_timezone_names, but even one additional SET
of the timezone GUC would come out ahead.
An even worse problem for pg_timezone_names is that pg_open_tzfile()
has an inefficient way of identifying the canonical case of a zone name:
it basically re-descends the directory tree to the zone file. That's not
awful for an individual "SET timezone" operation, but it's pretty horrid
when we're inspecting every zone in the database. And it's pointless too
because we already know the canonical spelling, having just read it from
the filesystem. Fix by teaching pg_open_tzfile() to avoid the directory
search if it's not asked for the canonical name, and backfilling the
proper result in pg_tzenumerate_next().
In combination these changes seem to make the pg_timezone_names view
about 3x faster to read, for me. Since a scan of pg_timezone_names
has up to now been one of the slowest queries in the regression tests,
this should help some little bit for buildfarm cycle times.
Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because it's likely
that users will care much about the view's performance as because
tracking changes in the upstream IANA timezone code is really painful
if we don't keep all the branches in sync.

create_singleton_array() was not really as useful as we perhaps thought
when we added it. It had never accreted more than one call site, and is
only saving a dozen lines of code at that one, which is considerably less
bulk than the function itself. Moreover, because of its insistence on
using the caller's fn_extra cache space, it's arguably a coding hazard.
text_to_array_internal() does not currently use fn_extra in any other way,
but if it did it would be subtly broken, since the conflicting fn_extra
uses could be needed within a single query, in the seldom-tested case that
the field separator varies during the query. The same objection seems
likely to apply to any other potential caller.
The replacement code is a bit uglier, because it hardwires knowledge of
the storage parameters of type TEXT, but it's not like we haven't got
dozens or hundreds of other places that do the same. Uglier seems like
a good tradeoff for smaller, faster, and safer.

Move the OWNER and RENAME clauses to the end, so the interesting

pages, whereas the previous order was the order in which the clauses
were added.
ALTER SEQUENCE can do nontransactional changes to the sequence (RESTART
clause) and transactional updates to the pg_sequence catalog (most other
clauses). When just calling RESTART, the code would still needlessly do
a catalog update without any changes. This would entangle that
operation in the concurrency issues of a catalog update (causing either
locking or concurrency errors, depending on how that issue is to be
resolved).
Fix by keeping track during options parsing whether a catalog update is

If the inner relation can be proven unique, that is it can have no more
than one matching row for any row of the outer query, then we might as
well implement the semijoin as a plain inner join, allowing substantially
more freedom to the planner. This is a form of outer join strength
reduction, but it can't be implemented in reduce_outer_joins() because
we don't have enough info about the individual relations at that stage.
Instead do it much like remove_useless_joins(): once we've built base
relations, we can make another pass over the SpecialJoinInfo list and
get rid of any entries representing reducible semijoins.
This is essentially a followon to the inner-unique patch (commit 9c7f5229a)
and makes use of the proof machinery that that patch created. We need only
minor refactoring of innerrel_is_unique's API to support this usage.

The inner-unique patch (commit 9c7f5229a) supposed that if we're
considering a JOIN_UNIQUE_INNER join path, we can always set inner_unique
for the join, because the inner path produced by create_unique_path should
be unique relative to the outer relation. However, that's true only if
we're considering joining to the whole outer relation --- otherwise we may
be applying only some of the join quals, and so the inner path might be
non-unique from the perspective of this join. Adjust the test to only
believe that we can set inner_unique if we have the whole semijoin LHS on
the outer side.
There is more that can be done in this area, but this commit is only
intended to provide the minimal fix needed to get correct plans.

Convert the binary_coercible() and physically_coercible() functions from
SQL to plpgsql. It's not that plpgsql is inherently better at doing
queries; if you simply convert the previous single SQL query into one
RETURN expression, it's no faster. The problem with the existing code
is that it fools the plancache into deciding that it's worth re-planning
the query every time, since constant-folding with a concrete value for $2
allows elimination of at least one sub-SELECT. In reality that's using the
planner to do the equivalent of a few runtime boolean tests, causing the
function to run much slower than it should. Splitting the AND/OR logic
into separate plpgsql statements allows each if-expression to acquire a
static plan.
Also, get rid of some uses of obj_description() in favor of explicitly
joining to pg_description, allowing the joins to be optimized better.
(Someday we might improve the SQL-function-inlining logic enough that
this happens automatically, but today is not that day.)
Together, these changes reduce the runtime of the opr_sanity regression

Before restarting a tablesync worker for the same relation, wait
wal_retrieve_retry_interval (currently 5s by default). This avoids
restarting failing workers in a tight loop.
We keep the last start times in a hash table last_start_times that is
separate from the table_states list, because that list is cleared out on
syscache invalidation, which happens whenever a table finishes syncing.
The hash table is kept until all tables have finished syncing.
A future project might be to unify these two and keep everything in one
data structure, but for now this is a less invasive change to accomplish
the original purpose.
For the test suite, set wal_retrieve_retry_interval to its minimum

These things caught my eye while working on other upcoming changes.
Declarative partitioning duplicated the TypedTableElement productions,
evidently to remove the need to specify WITH OPTIONS when creating
partitions. Instead, simply make WITH OPTIONS optional in the
TypedTableElement production and remove all of the duplicate
PartitionElement-related productions. This change simplifies the
syntax and makes WITH OPTIONS optional when adding defaults, constraints
or storage parameters to columns when creating either typed tables or
partitions.
Also update pg_dump to no longer include WITH OPTIONS, since it's not
necessary, and update the documentation to reflect that WITH OPTIONS is
now optional.
Earlier commits (56e19d938dd14 and 2bef06d5164) make it cheaper to
create a logical slot if not exporting the initial snapshot. If
NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT is specified, we can skip the overhead, not just
when creating a slot via sql (which can't export snapshots). As
NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT has only recently been introduced, this shouldn't be
backpatched.
Logical decoding stores historical snapshots on disk, so that logical
decoding can restart without having to reconstruct a snapshot from
scratch (for which the resources are not guaranteed to be present
anymore). These serialized snapshots were also used when creating a
new slot via the walsender interface, which can export a "full"
snapshot (i.e. one that can read all tables, not just catalog ones).
The problem is that the serialized snapshots are only useful for
catalogs and not for normal user tables. Thus the use of such a
serialized snapshot could result in an inconsistent snapshot being
exported, which could lead to queries returning wrong data. This
would only happen if logical slots are created while another logical
slot already exists.

Backport: 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.
pg_basebackup's child process did not pay any attention to the pipe
from its parent while waiting for input from the source server.
If no server data was arriving, it would only wake up and check the
pipe every standby_message_timeout or so. This creates a problem
since the parent process might determine and send the desired stop
position only after the server has reached end-of-WAL and stopped
sending data. In the src/test/recovery regression tests, the timing
is repeatably such that it takes nearly 10 seconds for the child
process to realize that it should shut down. It's not clear how
often that would happen in real-world cases, but it sure seems like
a bug --- and if the user turns off standby_message_timeout or sets
it very large, the delay could be a lot worse.
To fix, expand the StreamCtl API to allow the pipe input FD to be
passed down to the low-level wait routine, and watch both sockets
when sleeping.
(Note: AFAICS this issue doesn't affect the Windows port, since
it doesn't rely on a pipe to transfer the stop position to the
child thread.)

Previously the logical replication launcher stored the last timestamp
when it started the worker, in the local variable "last_start_time",
in order to check whether wal_retrive_retry_interval elapsed since
the last startup of worker. If it has elapsed, the launcher sees
pg_subscription and starts new worker if necessary. This is for
limitting the startup of worker to once a wal_retrieve_retry_interval.
The bug was that the variable "last_start_time" was defined and
always initialized with 0 at the beginning of the launcher's main loop.
So even if it's set to the last timestamp in later phase of the loop,
it's always reset to 0. Therefore the launcher could not check
correctly whether wal_retrieve_retry_interval elapsed since
the last startup.
This patch moves the variable "last_start_time" outside the main loop
so that it will not be reset.

The logical decoding machinery already preserved all the required
catalog tuples, which is sufficient in the course of normal logical
decoding, but did not guarantee that non-catalog tuples were preserved
during computation of the initial snapshot when creating a slot over
the replication protocol.
This could cause a corrupted initial snapshot being exported. The
time window for issues is usually not terribly large, but on a busy
server it's perfectly possible to it hit it. Ongoing decoding is not
affected by this bug.
To avoid increased overhead for the SQL API, only retain additional
tuples when a logical slot is being created over the replication
protocol. To do so this commit changes the signature of
CreateInitDecodingContext(), but it seems unlikely that it's being
used in an extension, so that's probably ok.

Although the postmaster doesn't currently create a self-pipe or any

latch.c was entirely unprepared for such a case and could suffer an
