2021-10-01Error out if SKIP LOCKED and WITH TIES are both specifiedAlvaro Herrera
Both bugs #16676[1] and #17141[2] illustrate that the combination of SKIP LOCKED and FETCH FIRST WITH TIES break expectations when it comes to rows returned to other sessions accessing the same row. Since this situation is detectable from the syntax and hard to fix otherwise, forbid for now, with the potential to fix in the future.

2021-08-24Fix Alter Subscription's Add/Drop Publication behavior.Amit Kapila
The current refresh behavior tries to just refresh added/dropped publications but that leads to removing wrong tables from subscription. We can't refresh just the dropped publication because it is quite possible that some of the tables are removed from publication by that time and now those will remain as part of the subscription. Also, there is a chance that the tables that were part of the publication being dropped are also part of another publication, so we can't remove those. So, we decided that by default, add/drop commands will also act like REFRESH PUBLICATION which means they will refresh all the publications. We can keep the old behavior for "add publication" but it is better to be consistent with "drop publication".

There are some other issues as well. It's now too late in the cycle for nontrivial fixes, so we'll have to let Postgres 14 users continue to manually deal with ANALYZE their partitioned tables, and hopefully we can fix the issues for Postgres 15. I kept [most of] be280cdad298 ("Don't reset relhasindex for partitioned tables on ANALYZE") because while we added it due to 0827e8af70f4, it is a good bugfix in its own right, since it affects manual analyze as well as autovacuum-induced analyze, and there's no reason to revert it. I retained the addition of relkind 'p' to tables included by pg_stat_user_tables, because reverting that would require a catversion bump. Also, in pg14 only, I keep a struct member that was added to PgStat_TabStatEntry to avoid breaking compatibility with existing stat files. Backpatch to 14.

Add pg_resetxlog -u option to set the oldest xid in pg_control. Previously -x set this value be -2 billion less than the -x value. However, this causes the server to immediately scan all relation's relfrozenxid so it can advance pg_control's oldest xid to be inside the autovacuum_freeze_max_age range, which is inefficient and might disrupt diagnostic recovery. pg_upgrade will use this option to better create the new cluster to match the old cluster.

Commit 4656e3d66 replaced the "#define CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS" testing mechanism with a GUC, which has been a great help for doing cache-clobber testing in more efficient ways; but there is a gap in the implementation. The only way to do cache-clobber testing during an initdb run is to use the old method with #define, because one can't set the GUC from outside. Improve this by adding a switch to initdb for the purpose. (Perhaps someday we should let initdb pass through arbitrary "-c NAME=VALUE" switches.

2021-06-18Support disabling index bypassing by VACUUM.Peter Geoghegan
Generalize the INDEX_CLEANUP VACUUM parameter (and the corresponding reloption): make it into a ternary style boolean parameter. It now exposes a third option, "auto". The "auto" option (which is now the default) enables the "bypass index vacuuming" optimization added by commit 1e55e7d1. "VACUUM (INDEX_CLEANUP TRUE)" is redefined to once again make VACUUM simply do any required index vacuuming, regardless of how few dead tuples are encountered during the first scan of the target heap relation (unless there are exactly zero). This gives users a way of opting out of the "bypass index vacuuming" optimization, if for whatever reason that proves necessary. It is also expected to be used by PostgreSQL developers as a testing option from time to time. "VACUUM (INDEX_CLEANUP FALSE)" does the same thing as it always has: it forcibly disables both index vacuuming and index cleanup. It's not expected to be used much in PostgreSQL 14. The failsafe mechanism added by commit 1e55e7d1 addresses the same problem in a simpler way. INDEX_CLEANUP can now be thought of as a testing and compatibility option.

2021-06-14Remove forced toast recompression in VACUUM FULL/CLUSTERMichael Paquier
The extra checks added by the recompression of toast data introduced in bbe0a81 is proving to have a performance impact on VACUUM or CLUSTER even if no recompression is done. This is more noticeable with more toastable columns that contain non-NULL values. Improvements could be done to make those extra checks less expensive, but that's not material for 14 at this stage, and we are not sure either if the code path of VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER is adapted for this job.

2021-06-11Use the correct article for abbreviationsDavid Rowley
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 these.

2021-06-10Reconsider the handling of procedure OUT parameters.Tom Lane
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.

2021-06-08Avoid misbehavior when persisting a non-stable cursor.Tom Lane
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. Per bug #17050 from Алексей Булгаков. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17050-f77aa827dc85247c@postgresql.org

2021-05-27Rethink definition of pg_attribute.attcompression.Tom Lane
Redefine '\0' (InvalidCompressionMethod) as meaning "if we need to compress, use the current setting of default_toast_compression". This allows '\0' to be a suitable default choice regardless of datatype, greatly simplifying code paths that initialize tupledescs and the like. It seems like a more user-friendly approach as well, because now the default compression choice doesn't migrate into table definitions, meaning that changing default_toast_compression is usually sufficient to flip an installation's behavior; one needn't tediously issue per-column ALTER SET COMPRESSION commands. Along the way, fix a few minor bugs and documentation issues with the per-column-compression feature. Adopt more robust APIs for SetIndexStorageProperties and GetAttributeCompression. Bump catversion because typical contents of attcompression will now be different. We could get away without doing that, but it seems better to ensure v14 installations all agree on this.

The limitation is that pg_basebackup cannot force the standbfy to switch to a new WAL file at the end of backup, which may cause pg_basebackup to wait a long time for the last required WAL file to be switched and archived, especially when write activity on the primary is low. Back-patch to v10 where the issue was introduced.
