LockViewRecurese() obtains view relation using heap_open() and passes
it to get_view_query() to get view info. It immediately closes the
relation then uses the returned view info by calling
LockViewRecurse_walker(). Since get_view_query() returns a pointer
within the relcache, the relcache should be kept until
LockViewRecurse_walker() returns. Otherwise the relation could point
to a garbage memory area.
Fix is moving the heap_close() call after LockViewRecurse_walker().
Problem reported by Tom Lane (buildfarm is unhappy, especially prion
since it enables -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE cpp flag), fix by me.

A followup patch will add a SKIP_LOCKED option. To avoid introducing
evermore arguments, breaking existing callers each time, introduce a
flags argument. This'll no doubt break a few external users...
Also change the MISSING_OK behaviour so a DEBUG1 debug message is
emitted when a relation is not found.

VACUUM updates leaf-level FSM entries immediately after cleaning the
corresponding heap blocks. fsmpage.c updates the intra-page search trees
on the leaf-level FSM pages when this happens, but it does not touch the
upper-level FSM pages, so that the released space might not actually be
findable by searchers. Previously, updating the upper-level pages happened
only at the conclusion of the VACUUM run, in a single FreeSpaceMapVacuum()
call. This is bad because the VACUUM might get canceled before ever
reaching that point, so that from the point of view of searchers no space
has been freed at all, leading to table bloat.
We can improve matters by updating the upper pages immediately after each
cycle of index-cleaning and heap-cleaning, processing just the FSM pages
corresponding to the range of heap blocks we have now fully cleaned.
This adds a small amount of extra work, since the FSM pages leading down
to each range boundary will be touched twice, but it's pretty negligible
compared to everything else going on in a large VACUUM.
If there are no indexes, VACUUM doesn't work in cycles but just cleans
each heap page on first visit. In that case we just arbitrarily update
upper FSM pages after each 8GB of heap. That maintains the goal of not
letting all this work slide until the very end, and it doesn't seem worth
expending extra complexity on a case that so seldom occurs in practice.
In either case, the FSM is fully up to date before any attempt is made
to truncate the relation, so that the most likely scenario for VACUUM
cancellation no longer results in out-of-date upper FSM pages. When
we do successfully truncate, adjusting the FSM to reflect that is now
fully handled within FreeSpaceMapTruncateRel.

Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in
a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and
disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the
default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at
the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column
(attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set
to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the
attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and
so will never need the attmissingval.
Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval
settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed.
The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which
acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing
value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will
not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this
argument.

Originally, we treated memory context names as potentially variable in
all cases, and therefore always copied them into the context header.
Commit 9fa6f00b1 rethought this a little bit and invented a distinction
between fixed and variable names, skipping the copy step for the former.
But we can make things both simpler and more useful by instead allowing
there to be two parts to a context's identification, a fixed "name" and
an optional, variable "ident". The name supplied in the context create
call is now required to be a compile-time-constant string in all cases,
as it is never copied but just pointed to. The "ident" string, if
wanted, is supplied later. This is needed because typically we want
the ident to be stored inside the context so that it's cleaned up
automatically on context deletion; that means it has to be copied into
the context before we can set the pointer.
The cost of this approach is basically just an additional pointer field
in struct MemoryContextData, which isn't much overhead, and is bought
back entirely in the AllocSet case by not needing a headerSize field
anymore, since we no longer have to cope with variable header length.
In addition, we can simplify the internal interfaces for memory context
creation still further, saving a few cycles there. And it's no longer
true that a custom identifier disqualifies a context from participating
in aset.c's freelist scheme, so possibly there's some win on that end.
All the places that were using non-compile-time-constant context names
are adjusted to put the variable info into the "ident" instead. This
allows more effective identification of those contexts in many cases;
for example, subsidary contexts of relcache entries are now identified
by both type (e.g. "index info") and relname, where before you got only
one or the other. Contexts associated with PL function cache entries
are now identified more fully and uniformly, too.
I also arranged for plancache contexts to use the query source string
as their identifier. This is basically free for CachedPlanSources, as
they contained a copy of that string already. We pay an extra pstrdup
to do it for CachedPlans. That could perhaps be avoided, but it would
make things more fragile (since the CachedPlanSource is sometimes
destroyed first). I suspect future improvements in error reporting will
require CachedPlans to have a copy of that string anyway, so it's not
clear that it's worth moving mountains to avoid it now.
This also changes the APIs for context statistics routines so that the
context-specific routines no longer assume that output goes straight
to stderr, nor do they know all details of the output format. This
is useful immediately to reduce code duplication, and it also allows
for external code to do something with stats output that's different
from printing to stderr.
The reason for pushing this now rather than waiting for v12 is that
it rethinks some of the API changes made by commit 9fa6f00b1. Seems
better for extension authors to endure just one round of API changes
not two.

cascade to create an identical trigger in each partition. We also clone

VACUUM thought that reltuples represents the total number of tuples in
the relation, while ANALYZE counted only live tuples. This can cause
"flapping" in the value when background vacuums and analyzes happen
separately. The planner's use of reltuples essentially assumes that
it's the count of live (visible) tuples, so let's standardize on having
it mean live tuples.
Another issue is that the definition of "live tuple" isn't totally clear;
what should be done with INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples?
ANALYZE's choices in this regard are made on the assumption that if the
originating transaction commits at all, it will happen after ANALYZE
finishes, so we should ignore the effects of the in-progress transaction
--- unless it is our own transaction, and then we should count it.
Let's propagate this definition into VACUUM, too.
Likewise propagate this definition into CREATE INDEX, and into
contrib/pgstattuple's pgstattuple_approx() function.

Previously, a value was included in the MCV list if its frequency was
25% larger than the estimated average frequency of all nonnull values
in the table. For uniform distributions, that can lead to values
being included in the MCV list and significantly overestimated on the
basis of relatively few (sometimes just 2) instances being seen in the
sample. For non-uniform distributions, it can lead to too few values
being included in the MCV list, since the overall average frequency
may be dominated by a small number of very common values, while the
remaining values may still have a large spread of frequencies, causing
both substantial overestimation and underestimation of the remaining
values. Furthermore, increasing the statistics target may have little
effect because the overall average frequency will remain relatively
unchanged.
Instead, populate the MCV list with the largest set of common values
that are statistically significantly more common than the average
frequency of the remaining values. This takes into account the
variance of the sample counts, which depends on the counts themselves
and on the proportion of the table that was sampled. As a result, it
constrains the relative standard error of estimates based on the
frequencies of values in the list, reducing the chances of too many
values being included. At the same time, it allows more values to be
included, since the MCVs need only be more common than the remaining
non-MCVs, rather than the overall average. Thus it tends to produce
fewer MCVs than the previous code for uniform distributions, and more
for non-uniform distributions, reducing estimation errors in both
cases. In addition, the algorithm responds better to increasing the
statistics target, allowing more values to be included in the MCV list
when more of the table is sampled.

My commit 4dba331cb3dc that moved around CommandCounterIncrement calls
in partitioning DDL code unearthed a problem with the relcache handling
for the 'default' partition: the construction of a correct relcache
entry for the partitioned table was at the mercy of lack of CCI calls in
non-trivial amounts of code. This was prone to creating problems later
on, as the code develops. This was visible as a test failure in a
compile with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELASE (buildfarm member prion).
The problem is that after the mentioned commit it was possible to create
a relcache entry that had incomplete information regarding the default
partition because I introduced a CCI between adding the catalog entries
for the default partition (StorePartitionBound) and the update of
pg_partitioned_table entry for its parent partitioned table
(update_default_partition_oid). It seems the best fix is to move the
latter so that it occurs inside the former; the purposeful lack of
intervening CCI should be more obvious, and harder to break.
I also remove a check in RelationBuildPartitionDesc that returns NULL if
the key is not set. I couldn't find any place that needs this hack
anymore; probably it was required because of bugs that have since been
fixed.
Fix a few typos I noticed while reviewing the code involved.

Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as
part of a heap rewrite during DDL. Those tables don't exist externally,
so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that
information. In ab28feae2bd3d4629bd73ae3548e671c57d785f0, we worked
around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack.
This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new
field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID. By
default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the
output plugin. Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in
getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the
new field will help them get information about the actual table.

refresh_by_match_merge() has some issues in the way it builds a SQL
query to construct the "diff" table:
1. It doesn't require the selected unique index(es) to be indimmediate.
2. It doesn't pay attention to the particular equality semantics enforced
by a given index, but just assumes that they must be those of the column
datatype's default btree opclass.
3. It doesn't check that the indexes are btrees.
4. It's insufficiently careful to ensure that the parser will pick the
intended operator when parsing the query. (This would have been a
security bug before CVE-2018-1058.)
5. It's not careful about indexes on system columns.
The way to fix #4 is to make use of the existing code in ri_triggers.c
for generating an arbitrary binary operator clause. I chose to move
that to ruleutils.c, since that seems a more reasonable place to be
exporting such functionality from than ri_triggers.c.
While #1, #3, and #5 are just latent given existing feature restrictions,
and #2 doesn't arise in the core system for lack of alternate opclasses
with different equality behaviors, #4 seems like an issue worth
back-patching. That's the bulk of the change anyway, so just back-patch
the whole thing to 9.4 where this code was introduced.

Jeff Janes discovered that commit 7ca25b7de made one of the queries run by
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY perform badly. The root cause is
bad cardinality estimation for correlated quals, but a principled solution
to that problem is some way off, especially since the planner lacks any
statistics about whole-row variables. Moreover, in non-error cases this
query produces no rows, meaning it must be run to completion; but use of
LIMIT 1 encourages the planner to pick a fast-start, slow-completion plan,
exactly not what we want. Remove the LIMIT clause, and instead rely on
the count parameter we pass to SPI_execute() to prevent excess work if the
query does return some rows.
While we've heard no field reports of planner misbehavior with this query,
it could be that people are having performance issues that haven't reached
the level of pain needed to cause a bug report. In any case, that LIMIT
clause can't possibly do anything helpful with any existing version of the
planner, and it demonstrably can cause bad choices in some cases, so
back-patch to 9.4 where the code was introduced.

We make some changes to ModifyTableState and the EState it uses whenever
we route tuples to partitions; but we weren't restoring properly in all
cases, possibly causing crashes when partitions with different tuple
descriptors are targeted by tuples inserted in the same command.
Refactor some code, creating ExecPrepareTupleRouting, to encapsulate the
needed state changing logic, and have it invoked one level above its
current place (ie. put it in ExecModifyTable instead of ExecInsert);
this makes it all more readable.
Add a test case to exercise this.
We don't support having views as partitions; and since only views can
have INSTEAD OF triggers, there is no point in testing for INSTEAD OF
when processing insertions into a partitioned table. Remove code that
appears to support this (but which is actually never relevant.)
In passing, fix location of some very confusing comments in

The existing logic for updating pg_class.reltuples trusted the sampling
results only for the pages ANALYZE actually visited, preferring to
believe the previous tuple density estimate for all the unvisited pages.
While there's some rationale for doing that for VACUUM (first that
VACUUM is likely to visit a very nonrandom subset of pages, and second
that we know for sure that the unvisited pages did not change), there's
no such rationale for ANALYZE: by assumption, it's looked at an unbiased
random sample of the table's pages. Furthermore, in a very large table
ANALYZE will have examined only a tiny fraction of the table's pages,
meaning it cannot slew the overall density estimate very far at all.
In a table that is physically growing, this causes reltuples to increase
nearly proportionally to the change in relpages, regardless of what is
actually happening in the table. This has been observed to cause reltuples
to become so much larger than reality that it effectively shuts off
autovacuum, whose threshold for doing anything is a fraction of reltuples.
(Getting to the point where that would happen seems to require some
additional, not well understood, conditions. But it's undeniable that if
reltuples is seriously off in a large table, ANALYZE alone will not fix it
in any reasonable number of iterations, especially not if the table is
continuing to grow.)
Hence, restrict the use of vac_estimate_reltuples() to VACUUM alone,
and in ANALYZE, just extrapolate from the sample pages on the assumption
that they provide an accurate model of the whole table. If, by very bad
luck, they don't, at least another ANALYZE will fix it; in the old logic
a single bad estimate could cause problems indefinitely.
In HEAD, let's remove vac_estimate_reltuples' is_analyze argument
altogether; it was never used for anything and now it's totally pointless.
But keep it in the back branches, in case any third-party code is calling
this function.

One of the things canonicalize_qual() does is to remove constant-NULL
subexpressions of top-level AND/OR clauses. It does that on the assumption
that what it's given is a top-level WHERE clause, so that NULL can be
treated like FALSE. Although this is documented down inside a subroutine
of canonicalize_qual(), it wasn't mentioned in the documentation of that
function itself, and some callers hadn't gotten that memo.
Notably, commit d007a9505 caused get_relation_constraints() to apply
canonicalize_qual() to CHECK constraints. That allowed constraint
exclusion to misoptimize situations in which a CHECK constraint had a
provably-NULL subclause, as seen in the regression test case added here,
in which a child table that should be scanned is not. (Although this
thinko is ancient, the test case doesn't fail before 9.2, for reasons
I've not bothered to track down in detail. There may be related cases
that do fail before that.)
More recently, commit f0e44751d added an independent bug by applying
canonicalize_qual() to index expressions, which is even sillier since
those might not even be boolean. If they are, though, I think this
could lead to making incorrect index entries for affected index
expressions in v10. I haven't attempted to prove that though.
To fix, add an "is_check" parameter to canonicalize_qual() to specify
whether it should assume WHERE or CHECK semantics, and make it perform
NULL-elimination accordingly. Adjust the callers to apply the right
semantics, or remove the call entirely in cases where it's not known
that the expression has one or the other semantics. I also removed
the call in some cases involving partition expressions, where it should
be a no-op because such expressions should be canonical already ...
and was a no-op, independently of whether it could in principle have
done something, because it was being handed the qual in implicit-AND
format which isn't what it expects. In HEAD, add an Assert to catch
that type of mistake in future.
This represents an API break for external callers of canonicalize_qual().
While that's intentional in HEAD to make such callers think about which
case applies to them, it seems like something we probably wouldn't be
thanked for in released branches. Hence, in released branches, the
extra parameter is added to a new function canonicalize_qual_ext(),
and canonicalize_qual() is a wrapper that retains its old behavior.

Commit b08df9cab left things rather poorly documented as far as the
exact semantics of "clause_is_check" mode went. Also, that mode did
not really work correctly for predicate_refuted_by; although given the
lack of specification as to what it should do, as well as the lack
of any actual use-case, that's perhaps not surprising.
Rename "clause_is_check" to "weak" proof mode, and provide specifications
for what it should do. I defined weak refutation as meaning "truth of A
implies non-truth of B", which makes it possible to use the mode in the
part of relation_excluded_by_constraints that checks for mutually
contradictory WHERE clauses. Fix up several places that did things wrong
for that definition. (As far as I can see, these errors would only lead
to failure-to-prove, not incorrect claims of proof, making them not
serious bugs even aside from the fact that v10 contains no use of this
mode. So there seems no need for back-patching.)
In addition, teach predicate_refuted_by_recurse that it can use
predicate_implied_by_recurse after all when processing a strong NOT-clause,
so long as it asks for the correct proof strength. This is an optimization
that could have been included in commit b08df9cab, but wasn't.
Also, simplify and generalize the logic that checks for whether nullness of
the argument of IS [NOT] NULL would force overall nullness of the predicate
or clause. (This results in a change in the partition_prune test's output,
as it is now able to prune an all-nulls partition that it did not recognize
before.)
In passing, in PartConstraintImpliedByRelConstraint, remove bogus
conversion of the constraint list to explicit-AND form and then right back
again; that accomplished nothing except forcing a useless extra level of

Backpatch this to Postgres 10, where extended statistics were

only in pg11.
In pg11, comments on statistics objects are cloned too. In pg10 they

The new column distinguishes normal functions, procedures, aggregates,

proiswindow, and replaces the convention that procedures are indicated
by prorettype == 0. Also change prorettype to be VOIDOID for procedures.

A before-update row trigger may choose to return the "new" or "old" tuple
unmodified. ExecBRUpdateTriggers failed to consider the second
possibility, and would proceed to free the "old" tuple even if it was the
one returned, leading to subsequent access to already-deallocated memory.
In debug builds this reliably leads to an "invalid memory alloc request
size" failure; in production builds it might accidentally work, but data
corruption is also possible.
This is a very old bug. There are probably a couple of reasons it hasn't
been noticed up to now. It would be more usual to return NULL if one
wanted to suppress the update action; returning "old" is significantly less
efficient since the update will occur anyway. Also, none of the standard
PLs would ever cause this because they all returned freshly-manufactured
tuples even if they were just copying "old". But commit 4b93f5799 changed
that for plpgsql, making it possible to see the bug with a plpgsql trigger.
Still, this is certainly legal behavior for a trigger function, so it's
ExecBRUpdateTriggers's fault not plpgsql's.
It seems worth creating a test case that exercises returning "old" directly
with a C-language trigger; testing this through plpgsql seems unreliable
because its behavior might change again.
Report and fix by Rushabh Lathia; regression test case by me.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

It's not necessary to fully initialize the executor data structures
for partitions to which no tuples are ever routed. Consider, for
example, an INSERT statement that inserts only one row: it only cares
about the partition to which that one row is routed. The new function
ExecInitPartitionInfo performs the initialization in question only
when a particular partition is about to receive a tuple. This includes
creating, validating, and saving a pointer to the ResultRelInfo,
setting up for speculative insertions, translating WCOs and
initializing the resulting expressions, translating returning lists
and building the appropriate projection information, and setting up a
tuple conversion map.
One thing that's not deferred is locking the child partitions; that
seems desirable but would need more thought. Still, testing shows
that this makes single-row inserts significantly faster on a table
with many partitions without harming the bulk-insert case.

If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they
must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to
unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist
within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each
index individually is enough to have it enforced globally. Therefore we
can implement unique indexes on partitions by simply removing a few
restrictions (and adding others.)

The reason for doing so is that it will allow expression evaluation to
optimize based on the underlying tupledesc. In particular it will
allow to JIT tuple deforming together with the expression itself.
For that expression initialization needs to be moved after the
relevant slots are initialized - mostly unproblematic, except in the
case of nodeWorktablescan.c.
After doing so there's no need for ExecAssignResultType() and
ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL() anymore, as all former callers have been
converted to create a slot with a fixed descriptor.
When creating a slot with a fixed descriptor, tts_values/isnull can be
allocated together with the main slot, reducing allocation overhead
and increasing cache density a bit.

Prematurely freeing the EState used to evaluate CALL arguments led, in some
cases, to passing dangling pointers to the procedure. This was masked in
trivial cases because the argument pointers would point to Const nodes in
the original expression tree, and in some other cases because the result
value would end up in the standalone ExprContext rather than in memory
belonging to the EState --- but that wasn't exactly high quality
programming either, because the standalone ExprContext was never
explicitly freed, breaking assorted API contracts.
In addition, using a separate EState for each argument was just silly.
So let's use just one EState, and one ExprContext, and make the latter
belong to the former rather than be standalone, and clean up the EState
(and hence the ExprContext) post-call.
While at it, improve the function's commentary a bit.

CALL statements cannot support sub-SELECTs in the arguments of the called
procedure, since they just use ExecEvalExpr to evaluate such arguments.
Teach transformSubLink() to reject the case, as it already does for other
contexts in which subqueries are not supported.
In passing, s/EXPR_KIND_CALL/EXPR_KIND_CALL_ARGUMENT/ to make that enum
symbol line up more closely with the phrasing of the error messages it is
associated with. And fix someone's weak grasp of English grammar in the
preceding EXPR_KIND_PARTITION_EXPRESSION addition. Also update an
incorrect comment in resolve_unique_index_expr (possibly it was correct
when written, but nowadays transformExpr definitely does reject SRFs here).
Per report from Pavel Stehule --- but this resolves only one of the bugs
he mentions.

This patch adds the ability to use "RANGE offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING"
frame boundaries in window functions. We'd punted on that back in the
original patch to add window functions, because it was not clear how to
do it in a reasonably data-type-extensible fashion. That problem is
resolved here by adding the ability for btree operator classes to provide
an "in_range" support function that defines how to add or subtract the
RANGE offset value. Factoring it this way also allows the operator class
to avoid overflow problems near the ends of the datatype's range, if it
wishes to expend effort on that. (In the committed patch, the integer
opclasses handle that issue, but it did not seem worth the trouble to
avoid overflow failures for datetime types.)
The patch includes in_range support for the integer_ops opfamily
(int2/int4/int8) as well as the standard datetime types. Support for
other numeric types has been requested, but that seems like suitable
material for a follow-on patch.
In addition, the patch adds GROUPS mode which counts the offset in
ORDER-BY peer groups rather than rows, and it adds the frame_exclusion
options specified by SQL:2011. As far as I can see, we are now fully
up to spec on window framing options.
Existing behaviors remain unchanged, except that I changed the errcode
for a couple of existing error reports to meet the SQL spec's expectation
that negative "offset" values should be reported as SQLSTATE 22013.
Internally and in relevant parts of the documentation, we now consistently
use the terminology "offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" rather than "value
PRECEDING/FOLLOWING", since the term "value" is confusingly vague.

Investigation of 2d2d06b7e27e3177d5bef0061801c75946871db3 revealed that
identity values were not applied in some further cases, including
logical replication subscribers, VALUES RTEs, and ALTER TABLE ... ADD
COLUMN. To fix all that, apply the identity column expression in
build_column_default() instead of repeating the same logic at each call
site.
For ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN ... IDENTITY, the previous coding
completely ignored that existing rows for the new column should have
values filled in from the identity sequence. The coding using
build_column_default() fails for this because the sequence ownership
isn't registered until after ALTER TABLE, and we can't do it before
because we don't have the column in the catalog yet. So we specially
remember in ColumnDef the sequence name that we decided on and build a
custom NextValueExpr using that.

To make this work, tuplesort.c and logtape.c must also support
parallelism, so this patch adds that infrastructure and then applies
it to the particular case of parallel btree index builds. Testing
to date shows that this can often be 2-3x faster than a serial
index build.
The model for deciding how many workers to use is fairly primitive
at present, but it's better than not having the feature. We can
refine it as we get more experience.

We have a lot of code in which option names, which from the user's
viewpoint are logically keywords, are passed through the grammar as plain
identifiers, and then matched to string literals during command execution.
This approach avoids making words into lexer keywords unnecessarily. Some
places matched these strings using plain strcmp, some using pg_strcasecmp.
But the latter should be unnecessary since identifiers would have been
downcased on their way through the parser. Aside from any efficiency
concerns (probably not a big factor), the lack of consistency in this area
creates a hazard of subtle bugs due to different places coming to different
conclusions about whether two option names are the same or different.
Hence, standardize on using strcmp() to match any option names that are
expected to have been fed through the parser.
This does create a user-visible behavioral change, which is that while
formerly all of these would work:
alter table foo set (fillfactor = 50);
alter table foo set (FillFactor = 50);
alter table foo set ("fillfactor" = 50);
alter table foo set ("FillFactor" = 50);
now the last case will fail because that double-quoted identifier is
different from the others. However, none of our documentation says that
you can use a quoted identifier in such contexts at all, and we should
discourage doing so since it would break if we ever decide to parse such
constructs as true lexer keywords rather than poor man's substitutes.
So this shouldn't create a significant compatibility issue for users.

This clause was superseded by SQL-standard syntax back in 7.3.
We've kept it around for backwards-compatibility purposes ever since;
but 15 years seems like long enough for that, especially seeing that
there are undocumented weirdnesses in how it interacts with the
SQL-standard syntax for specifying the same options.

get_relation_info() was too optimistic about opening indexes in
partitioned tables, which would raise errors when any queries were
planned on such tables. Fix by ignoring any indexes of the partitioned
kind.
CLUSTER (and ALTER TABLE CLUSTER ON) had a similar problem. Fix by
disallowing these commands in partitioned tables.

In each of the supplied procedural languages (PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl,
PL/Python, PL/Tcl), add language-specific commit and rollback
functions/commands to control transactions in procedures in that
language. Add similar underlying functions to SPI. Some additional
cleanup so that transaction commit or abort doesn't blow away data
structures still used by the procedure call. Add execution context
tracking to CALL and DO statements so that transaction control commands
can only be issued in top-level procedure and block calls, not function
calls or other procedure or block calls.
- SPI
Add a new function SPI_connect_ext() that is like SPI_connect() but
allows passing option flags. The only option flag right now is
SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC. A nonatomic SPI connection can execute transaction
control commands, otherwise it's not allowed. This is meant to be
passed down from CALL and DO statements which themselves know in which
context they are called. A nonatomic SPI connection uses different
memory management. A normal SPI connection allocates its memory in
TopTransactionContext. For nonatomic connections we use PortalContext
instead. As the comment in SPI_connect_ext() (previously SPI_connect())
indicates, one could potentially use PortalContext in all cases, but it
seems safest to leave the existing uses alone, because this stuff is
complicated enough already.
SPI also gets new functions SPI_start_transaction(), SPI_commit(), and
SPI_rollback(), which can be used by PLs to implement their transaction
control logic.
- portalmem.c
Some adjustments were made in the code that cleans up portals at
transaction abort. The portal code could already handle a command
*committing* a transaction and continuing (e.g., VACUUM), but it was not
quite prepared for a command *aborting* a transaction and continuing.
In AtAbort_Portals(), remove the code that marks an active portal as
failed. As the comment there already predicted, this doesn't work if
the running command wants to keep running after transaction abort. And
it's actually not necessary, because pquery.c is careful to run all
portal code in a PG_TRY block and explicitly runs MarkPortalFailed() if
there is an exception. So the code in AtAbort_Portals() is never used
anyway.
In AtAbort_Portals() and AtCleanup_Portals(), we need to be careful not
to clean up active portals too much. This mirrors similar code in
PreCommit_Portals().
- PL/Perl
Gets new functions spi_commit() and spi_rollback()
- PL/pgSQL
Gets new commands COMMIT and ROLLBACK.
Update the PL/SQL porting example in the documentation to reflect that
transactions are now possible in procedures.
- PL/Python

- PL/Tcl
