The pg_upgrade check for pg_catalog.unknown type when upgrading from 9.6 had a couple of issues with domains and composite types - it detected even composite types unused in objects with storage. So for example this was enough to trigger an unnecessary pg_upgrade failure: CREATE TYPE unknown_composite AS (u pg_catalog.unknown) On the other hand, this only happened with composite types directly on the pg_catalog.unknown data type, but not with a domain. So this was not detected CREATE DOMAIN unknown_domain AS pg_catalog.unknown; CREATE TYPE unknown_composite_2 AS (u unknown_domain); unlike the first example. These false positives and inconsistencies are unfortunate, but what's worse we've failed to detected objects using the pg_catalog.unknown type through a domain. So we missed cases like this CREATE TABLE t (u unknown_composite_2); The consequence is clusters broken after a pg_upgrade. This fixes these false positives and false negatives by using the same recursive CTE introduced by eaf900e842 for sql_identifier. Backpatch all the way to 10, where the of pg_catalog.unknown data type was restricted. Author: Tomas Vondra Backpatch-to: 10- Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16045-673e8fa6b5ace196%40postgresql.org
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
