Heikki Linnakangas pushed:

- Detach postmaster process from pg_ctl's session at server startup. pg_ctl is
supposed to daemonize the postmaster process, so that it's not affected by
signals to the launching process group. Before this patch, if you had a shell
script that used "pg_ctl start", and you interrupted the shell script after
postmaster had been launched, postmaster was also killed. To fix, call
setsid() after forking the postmaster process. Long time ago, we had a
'silent_mode' option, which daemonized the postmaster process by calling
setsid(), but that was removed back in 2011 (commit f7ea6beaf4). We discussed
bringing that back in some form, but pg_ctl is the documented way of launching
postmaster to the background, so putting the setsid() call in pg_ctl itself
seems appropriate. Just putting postmaster in a separate session would change
the behavior when you interrupt "pg_ctl -w start", e.g. with CTRL-C, while
it's waiting for postmaster to start. The historical behavior has been that
interrupting pg_ctl aborts the server launch, which is handy if the server is
stuck in recovery, for example, and won't fully start up. To keep that
behavior, install a signal handler in pg_ctl, to explicitly kill postmaster,
if pg_ctl is interrupted while it's waiting for the server to start up. This
isn't 100% watertight, there is a small window after forking the postmaster
process, where the signal handler doesn't know the postmaster's PID yet, but
seems good enough. Arguably this is a long-standing bug, but I refrained from
back-batching, out of fear of breaking someone's scripts that depended on the
old behavior. Reviewed by Tom Lane. Report and original patch by Paul Guo,

- Refactor duplicate code into DeconstructFkConstraintRow. My commit
3de241dba86f introduced some code (in tablecmds.c) to obtain data from a
pg_constraint row for a foreign key, that already existed in ri_triggers.c.
Split it out into its own routine in pg_constraint.c, where it naturally
belongs. No functional code changes, only code movement. Backpatch to pg11,
because a future bugfix is simpler after this.
https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0080396dad4fe59a91f6d7e9c1f806affcfc68c3

- Move CloneForeignKeyConstraints to tablecmds.c. My commit 3de241dba86f
introduced some code to create a clone of a foreign key to a partition, but I
put it in pg_constraint.c because it was too close to the contents of the
pg_constraint row. With the previous commit that split out the constraint
tuple deconstruction into its own routine, it makes more sense to have the
FK-cloning function in tablecmds.c, mostly because its static subroutine can
then be used by a future bugfix. My initial posting of this patch had this
routine as static in tablecmds.c, but sadly this function is already part of
the Postgres 11 ABI as exported from pg_constraint.c, so keep it as exported
also just to avoid breaking any possible users of it.
https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/03afae201f0a0762bb66cf02e038ed0d982ad048

- Fix creation of duplicate foreign keys on partitions. When creating a foreign
key in a partitioned table, if some partitions already have equivalent
constraints, we wastefully create duplicates of the constraints instead of
attaching to the existing ones. That's inconsistent with the de-duplication
that is applied when a table is attached as a partition. To fix, reuse the
FK-cloning code instead of having a separate code path. Backpatch to Postgres
11. This is a subtle behavior change, but surely a welcome one since there's
no use in having duplicate foreign keys. Discovered by Álvaro Herrera while
thinking about a different problem reported by Jesper Pedersen (bug #15587).

Andres Freund pushed:

- Re-add default_with_oids GUC to avoid breaking old dump files. After
578b229718 / the removal of WITH OIDS support, older dump files containing
SET default_with_oids = false; either report unnecessary errors (as the
subsequent tables have no oids) or even fail to restore entirely (when using
transaction mode). To avoid that, re-add the GUC, but don't allow setting it
to true. Per complaint from Tom Lane. Author: Amit Khandekar, editorialized

- Don't include heapam.h from others headers. heapam.h previously was included
in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in
executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of
low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more
problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it
seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards.
heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc
typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is
defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the
underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for
BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in
executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the
fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that
goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring
parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h -
that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of
files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files
grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects
will need to do the same. Author: Andres Freund Reviewed-By: Alvaro Herrera

- Make naming of tupdesc related structs more consistent with the rest of PG. We
usually don't change the name of structs between the struct name itself and
the name of the typedef. Additionally, structs that are usually used via a
typedef that hides being a pointer, are commonly suffixed Data. Change
tupdesc code to follow those convention. This is triggered by a future patch
that intends to forward declare TupleDescData in another header - keeping with
the naming scheme makes that easier to understand. Author: Andres Freund

- Don't include genam.h from execnodes.h and relscan.h anymore. This is the
genam.h equivalent of 4c850ecec649c (which removed heapam.h from a lot of
other headers). There's still a few header includes of genam.h, but not from
central headers anymore. As a few headers are not indirectly included
anymore, execnodes.h and relscan.h need a few additional includes. Some of the
depended on types were replacable by using the underlying structs, but e.g.
for Snapshot in execnodes.h that'd have gotten more invasive than reasonable
in this commit. Like the aforementioned commit 4c850ecec649c, this requires
adding new genam.h includes to a number of backend files, which likely is also
required in a few external projects. Author: Andres Freund Discussion:

accident, set to the the source of DML queries, rather than the target table.
This causes problems for the upcoming pluggable storage work, because the

- Restrict the use of temporary namespace in two-phase transactions. Attempting
to use a temporary table within a two-phase transaction is forbidden for ages.
However, there have been uncovered grounds for a couple of other object types
and commands which work on temporary objects with two-phase commit. In short,
trying to create, lock or drop an object on a temporary schema should not be
authorized within a two-phase transaction, as it would cause its state to
create dependencies with other sessions, causing all sorts of side effects
with the existing session or other sessions spawned later on trying to use the
same temporary schema name. Regression tests are added to cover all the
grounds found, the original report mentioned function creation, but monitoring
closer there are many other patterns with LOCK, DROP or CREATE EXTENSION which
are involved. One of the symptoms resulting in combining both is that the
session which used the temporary schema is not able to shut down completely,
waiting for being able to drop the temporary schema, something that it cannot
complete because of the two-phase transaction involved with temporary objects.
In this case the client is able to disconnect but the session remains alive on
the backend-side, potentially blocking connection backend slots from being
used. Other problems reported could also involve server crashes. This is
back-patched down to v10, which is where 9b013dc has introduced MyXactFlags,
something that this patch relies on. Reported-by: Alexey Bashtanov Author:

- Avoid assuming that we know the spelling of getopt_long's error messages. I've
had enough of "fixing" this test case. Whatever value it has is limited to
verifying that pgbench fails for an unrecognized switch, and we don't need to

- Avoid sometimes printing both tables and their columns in DROP CASCADE. A
cascaded drop might find independent reasons to drop both a table and some
column of the table (for instance, a schema drop might include dropping a data
type used in some table in the schema). Depending on the order of visitation
of pg_depend entries, we might report the table column and the whole table as
separate objects-to-be-dropped, or we might only report the table. This is
confusing and leads to unstable regression test output, so fix it to report
only the table regardless of visitation order. Per gripe from Peter
Geoghegan. This is just cosmetic from a user's standpoint, and we haven't
actually seen regression test problems in practice (yet), so I'll refrain from
back-patching. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15908.1547762076@sss.pgh.pa.us

- Use our own getopt() on OpenBSD. Recent OpenBSD (at least 5.9 and up) has a
version of getopt(3) that will not cope with the "-:" spec we use to accept
double-dash options in postgres.c and postmaster.c. Admittedly, that's a hack
because POSIX only requires getopt() to allow alphanumeric option characters.
I have no desire to find another way, however, so let's just do what we were
already doing on Solaris: force use of our own src/port/getopt.c
implementation. In passing, improve some of the comments around said
implementation. Per buildfarm and local testing. Back-patch to all supported

Andrew Gierth pushed:

- Postpone aggregate checks until after collation is assigned. Previously,
parseCheckAggregates was run before assign_query_collations, but this causes
problems if any expression has already had a collation assigned by some
transform function (e.g. transformCaseExpr) before parseCheckAggregates runs.
The differing collations would cause expressions not to be recognized as equal
to the ones in the GROUP BY clause, leading to spurious errors about
unaggregated column references. The result was that CASE expr WHEN val ...
would fail when "expr" contained a GROUPING() expression or matched one of the
group by expressions, and where collatable types were involved; whereas the
supposedly identical CASE WHEN expr = val ... would succeed. Backpatch all
the way; this appears to have been wrong ever since collations were
introduced. Per report from Guillaume Lelarge, analysis and patch by me.

Magnus Hagander pushed:

- Remove references to Majordomo. Lists are not handled by Majordomo anymore and
haven't been for a while, so remove the reference and instead direct people to
the list server.
https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0e10040e19db02a797a2597d2fecbaa094f04866

- Replace references to mailinglists with @lists.postgresql.org. The namespace
for all lists have changed a while ago, so all references should use the
correct address.
https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c0d0e540847d24d9dfe374549fb4cfd5ca40d050

- Replace @postgresql.org with @lists.postgresql.org for mailinglists. Commit
c0d0e54084 replaced the ones in the documentation, but missed out on the ones
in the code. Replace those as well, but unlike c0d0e54084, don't backpatch the
code changes to avoid breaking translations.

Tomáš Vondra pushed:

- Revert "Add valgrind suppressions for wcsrtombs optimizations". This reverts
commit d3bbc4b96a5b4d055cf636596c6865913a099929. Per discussion, it's not
desirable to add valgrind suppressions for outside our own code base (e.g.
glibc in this case), especially when the suppressions may be
platform-specific. There are better ways to deal with that, e.g. by providing
local suppressions. Discussion:

- Allow COPY FROM to filter data using WHERE conditions. Extends the COPY FROM
command with a WHERE condition, which allows doing various types of filtering
while importing the data (random sampling, condition on a data column, etc.).
Until now such filtering required either preprocessing of the input data, or
importing all data and then filtering in the database. COPY FROM ... WHERE is
an easy-to-use and low-overhead alternative for most simple cases. Author:
