ALTER TABLE ... SET EXPRESSION AS removes statistics for the target column,
so running ANALYZE afterward is recommended. But this was previously not
documented, even though a similar recommendation exists for
ALTER TABLE ... SET DATA TYPE, which also clears the column's statistics.
This commit updates the documentation to include the ANALYZE recommendation
for SET EXPRESSION AS.
Since v18, virtual generated columns are supported, and these columns never
have statistics. Therefore, ANALYZE is not needed after SET DATA TYPE or
SET EXPRESSION AS when used on virtual generated columns. This commit also
updates the documentation to clarify that ANALYZE is unnecessary in such cases.
Back-patch the ANALYZE recommendation for SET EXPRESSION AS to v17
where the feature was introduced, and the note about virtual generated
columns to v18 where those columns were added.

It's possible to use a CHECK (col IS NOT NULL) constraint to skip
scanning a table for nulls when adding a NOT NULL constraint on the same
column. However, if the CHECK constraint is dropped on the same command
that the NOT NULL is added, this fails, i.e., makes the NOT NULL addition
slow. The best we can do about it at this stage is to document this so
that users aren't taken by surprise.
(In Postgres 18 you can directly add the NOT NULL constraint as NOT
VALID instead, so there's no longer much use for the CHECK constraint,
therefore no point in building mechanism to support the case better.)

This enhancement builds upon the infrastructure introduced in commit
228c370868, which enables the preservation of deleted tuples and their
origin information on the subscriber. This capability is crucial for
handling concurrent transactions replicated from remote nodes.
The update introduces support for detecting update_deleted conflicts
during the application of update operations on the subscriber. When an
update operation fails to locate the target row-typically because it has
been concurrently deleted-we perform an additional table scan. This scan
uses the SnapshotAny mechanism and we do this additional scan only when
the retain_dead_tuples option is enabled for the relevant subscription.
The goal of this scan is to locate the most recently deleted tuple-matching
the old column values from the remote update-that has not yet been removed
by VACUUM and is still visible according to our slot (i.e., its deletion
is not older than conflict-detection-slot's xmin). If such a tuple is
found, the system reports an update_deleted conflict, including the origin
and transaction details responsible for the deletion.
This provides a groundwork for more robust and accurate conflict
resolution process, preventing unexpected behavior by correctly
identifying cases where a remote update clashes with a deletion from
another origin.

Logical replication requires reliable conflict detection to maintain data
consistency across nodes. To achieve this, we must prevent premature
removal of tuples deleted by other origins and their associated commit_ts
data by VACUUM, which could otherwise lead to incorrect conflict reporting
and resolution.
This patch introduces a mechanism to retain deleted tuples on the
subscriber during the application of concurrent transactions from remote
nodes. Retaining these tuples allows us to correctly ignore concurrent
updates to the same tuple. Without this, an UPDATE might be misinterpreted
as an INSERT during resolutions due to the absence of the original tuple.
Additionally, we ensure that origin metadata is not prematurely removed by
vacuum freeze, which is essential for detecting update_origin_differs and
delete_origin_differs conflicts.
To support this, a new replication slot named pg_conflict_detection is
created and maintained by the launcher on the subscriber. Each apply
worker tracks its own non-removable transaction ID, which the launcher
aggregates to determine the appropriate xmin for the slot, thereby
retaining necessary tuples.
Conflict information retention (deleted tuples and commit_ts) can be
enabled per subscription via the retain_conflict_info option. This is
disabled by default to avoid unnecessary overhead for configurations that
do not require conflict resolution or logging.
During upgrades, if any subscription on the old cluster has
retain_conflict_info enabled, a conflict detection slot will be created to
protect relevant tuples from deletion when the new cluster starts.
This is a foundational work to correctly detect update_deleted conflict
which will be done in a follow-up patch.

Avoid dependence on setlocale().
strcoll(), etc., are not called directly; all collation-sensitive
calls should go through pg_locale.c and use the appropriate
provider. By setting LC_COLLATE to C, we avoid accidentally depending
on libc behavior when using a different provider.
No behavior change in the backend, but it's possible that some

Increase the size of the "direct" histogram to 10K elements,
so that we can precisely track loop times up to 10 microseconds.
(Going further than that seems pretty uninteresting, even for
very old and slow machines.)
Relabel "Per loop time" as "Average loop time" for clarity.
Pre-zero the histogram arrays to make sure that they are loaded
into processor cache and any copy-on-write overhead has happened
before we enter the timing loop. Also use unlikely() to keep
the compiler from thinking that the clock-went-backwards case
is part of the hot loop. Neither of these hacks made a lot of
difference on my own machine, but they seem like they might help
on some platforms.

Most of our platforms have better-than-microsecond timing resolution,
so the original definition of this program is getting less and less
useful. Make it report nanoseconds not microseconds. Also, add a
second output table that reports the exact observed timing durations,
up to a limit of 1024 ns; and be sure to report the largest observed
duration.
The documentation for this program included a lot of system-specific
details that now seem largely obsolete. Move all that text to the
PG wiki, where perhaps it will be easier to maintain and update.
Also, improve the TAP test so that it actually runs a short standard
run, allowing most of the code to be exercised; its coverage before
was abysmal.

This commit renames the pg_recvlogical options --two-phase and
--failover to --enable-two-phase and --enable-failover, respectively.
The new names distinguish these enabling options from action options
like --start and --create-slot, while clearly indicating their purpose
to enable specific logical slot features.
The option --failover is new in PostgreSQL 18 (commit cf2655a9029), so
no compatibility break there. The option --two-phase has existed
since PostgreSQL 15 (commit cda03cfed6b), so for compatibility we keep
the old option name --two-phase around as deprecated.
Also note that pg_createsubscriber has acquired an --enable-two-phase
option, so this increases consistency across tools.

Just like selecting from a view is exploitable (CVE-2024-7348),
selecting from a table with virtual generated columns is exploitable.
Users who are concerned about this can avoid selecting from views, but
telling them to avoid selecting from tables is less practical.
To address this, this changes it so that generation expressions for
virtual generated columns are restricted to using built-in functions
and types, and the columns are restricted to having a built-in type.
We assume that built-in functions and types cannot be exploited for
this purpose.
In the future, this could be expanded by some new mechanism to declare
other functions and types as safe or trusted for this purpose, but
that is to be designed.
(An alternative approach might have been to expand the
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC to handle this, like the fix for
CVE-2024-7348. But that is kind of an ugly approach. That fix had to
fit in the constraints of fixing an ancient vulnerability in all
branches. Since virtual generated columns are new, we're free from
the constraints of the past, and we can and should use cleaner
options.)

I thought underscores wouldn't even work in "id"s, so I never checked to
see if anything referenced it, but it seems it does work, so adjust the
calling site for the dash syntax.

Commit 1fd1bd87101 introduced support for dumping statistics with
pg_dump and pg_dumpall, covering tables, materialized views, and indexes.
However, it overlooked foreign tables, even though functions like
pg_restore_relation_stats() support them.
This commit fixes that oversight by allowing pg_dump and pg_dumpall
to include statistics for foreign tables.

Commit bba2fbc6238 introduced a new implementation of the \conninfo
command in psql. That new code uses the term "TLS" while the rest of
PostgreSQL, including the rest of psql, consistently uses "SSL". This
is uselessly confusing. This changes the new code to use "SSL" as
well.

In the \conninfo psql command, the "Client User" column shows the user who
established the connection, while the "Superuser" column reflects whether
the current user in the current execution context is a superuser. This means
the users referred to in these columns can differ, for example, if the current
user was changed with the SET ROLE command.
This commit adds a note to the \conninfo documentation to clarify
this behavior and avoid potential confusion.

Reword the documentation around the default value to make interaction
between WATCH_INTERVAL and the \watch command clearer. While there,
also remove a stray parenthesis left over from a previous version of
the patch.

Running COPY within a pipeline can break protocol synchronization in
multiple ways. psql is limited in terms of result processing if mixing
COPY commands with normal queries while controlling a pipeline with the
new meta-commands, as an effect of the following reasons:
- In COPY mode, the backend ignores additional Sync messages and will
not send a matching ReadyForQuery expected by the frontend. Doing a
\syncpipeline just after COPY will leave the frontend waiting for a
ReadyForQuery message that won't be sent, leaving psql out-of-sync.
- libpq automatically sends a Sync with the Copy message which is not
tracked in the command queue, creating an unexpected synchronisation
point that psql cannot really know about. While it is possible to track
such activity for a \copy, this cannot really be done sanely with plain
COPY queries. Backend failures during a COPY would leave the pipeline
in an aborted state while the backend would be in a clean state, ready
to process commands.
At the end, fixing those issues would require modifications in how libpq
handles pipeline and COPY. So, rather than implementing workarounds in
psql to shortcut the libpq internals (with command queue handling for
one), and because meta-commands for pipelines in psql are a new feature
with COPY in a pipeline having a limited impact compared to other
queries, this commit forbids the use of COPY within a pipeline to avoid
possible break of protocol synchronisation within psql. If there is a
use-case for COPY support within pipelines in libpq, this could always
be added in the future, if necessary.
Most of the changes of this commit impacts the tests for psql pipelines,
removing the tests related to COPY. Some TAP tests still exist for COPY
TO/FROM and \copy to/from, to check that that connections are aborted
when this operation is attempted.

Commit bde2fb797aa added the --with-schema, --with-data, and --with-statistics
options to pg_restore. These options control whether to restore schema, data,
or statistics if present in the archive. However, the help message and
documentation incorrectly described them as affecting what gets dumped.
This commit corrects those descriptions to clarify that the options control
restoration, not dumping.

Invalid indexes are suffixed with "_ccnew" or "_ccold". The
documentation missed to mention the initial underscore.
ChooseRelationName() may also append an extra number if indexes with a
similar name already exist; let's add a note about that too.

I recently added this option to pg_dump, but I forgot to add it to
pg_dumpall, too. There's probably little use for it at the moment,
but we will need it if/when we teach pg_upgrade to use pg_dumpall
to dump the database schemas.
Oversight in commit 9c49f0e8cd.
