* Remove distprepPeter Eisentraut2023-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and man documentation. We have done this consistent with established practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a convenience to users. Now this has at least two problems: One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot, for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball. This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way. Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible. The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we want to get the meson build system working universally. This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep anymore. (*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now. The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given that git clean is available.)

* Add XMLText function (SQL/XML X038)Daniel Gustafsson2023-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function implements the standard XMLTest function, which converts text into xml text nodes. It uses the libxml2 function xmlEncodeSpecialChars to escape predefined entities (&"<>), so that those do not cause any conflict when concatenating the text node output with existing xml documents. This also adds a note in features.sgml about not supporting XML(SEQUENCE). The SQL specification defines a RETURNING clause to a set of XML functions, where RETURNING CONTENT or RETURNING SEQUENCE can be defined. Since PostgreSQL doesn't support XML(SEQUENCE) all of these functions operate with an implicit RETURNING CONTENT.

* Doc: update CREATE RULE ref page's hoary discussion of views.Tom Lane2023-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This text left one with the impression that an ON SELECT rule could be attached to a plain table, which has not been true since commit 264c06820 (meaning the text was already misleading when written, evidently by me in 96bd67f61). However, it didn't get really bad until b23cd185f removed the convert-a-table-to-a-view logic, which had made it possible for scripts that thought they were attaching ON SELECTs to tables to still work. Rewrite into a form that makes it clear that an ON SELECT rule is better regarded as an implementation detail of a view. Pre-v16, point out that adding ON SELECT to a table actually converts it to a view. Per bug #18178 from Joshua Uyehara. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* doc: Expand section related to LWLocks and shared memoryMichael Paquier2023-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation includes a section describing how to define custom LWLocks in extensions using the shmem hooks. However, it has never mentioned the second, more flexible method based on the following routines: - LWLockNewTrancheId() to allocate a tranche ID. - LWLockRegisterTranche() to associate a name to a tranche ID. - LWLockInitialize() to initialize a LWLock with a tranche ID. autoprewarm.c is the only example of extension in the tree that allocates a LWLock this way. This commit adds some documentation about all that. While on it, a comment is added about the need of AddinShmemInitLock. This is required especially for EXEC_BACKEND builds (aka Windows, normally), as per a remark from Alexander, because backends can execute shmem initialization paths concurrently.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, the statistics of the checkpointer have been always part of pg_stat_bgwriter. This commit removes a few columns from pg_stat_bgwriter, and introduces pg_stat_checkpointer with equivalent, renamed columns (plus a new one for the reset timestamp): - checkpoints_timed -> num_timed - checkpoints_req -> num_requested - checkpoint_write_time -> write_time - checkpoint_sync_time -> sync_time - buffers_checkpoint -> buffers_written The fields of PgStat_CheckpointerStats and its SQL functions are renamed to match with the new field names, for consistency. Note that background writer and checkpointer have been split into two different processes in commits 806a2aee3791 and bf405ba8e460.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two attributes related to checkpointer statistics are removed in this commit: - buffers_backend, that counts the number of buffers written directly by a backend. - buffers_backend_fsync, that counts the number of times a backend had to do fsync() by its own. These are actually not checkpointer properties but backend properties. Also, pg_stat_io provides a more accurate and equivalent report of these numbers, by tracking all the I/O stats related to backends, including writes and fsyncs, so storing them in pg_stat_checkpointer was redundant.

* Migrate logical slots to the new node during an upgrade.Amit Kapila2023-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While reading information from the old cluster, a list of logical slots is fetched. At the later part of upgrading, pg_upgrade revisits the list and restores slots by executing pg_create_logical_replication_slot() on the new cluster. Migration of logical replication slots is only supported when the old cluster is version 17.0 or later. If the old node has invalid slots or slots with unconsumed WAL records, the pg_upgrade fails. These checks are needed to prevent data loss. The significant advantage of this commit is that it makes it easy to continue logical replication even after upgrading the publisher node. Previously, pg_upgrade allowed copying publications to a new node. With this patch, adjusting the connection string to the new publisher will cause the apply worker on the subscriber to connect to the new publisher automatically. This enables seamless continuation of logical replication, even after an upgrade.

* Doc: remove misleading info about ecpg's CONNECT/DISCONNECT DEFAULT.Tom Lane2023-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As far as I can see, ecpg has no notion of a "default" open connection. You can do "CONNECT TO DEFAULT" but that just specifies letting libpq use all its default connection parameters --- the resulting connection is not special subsequently. In particular, SET CONNECTION = DEFAULT and DISCONNECT DEFAULT simply act on a connection named DEFAULT, if you've made one; they do not have special lookup rules. But the documentation of these commands makes it look like they do. Simplest fix, I think, is just to remove the paras suggesting that DEFAULT is special here. Also, SET CONNECTION *does* have one special lookup rule, which is that it recognizes CURRENT as an alias for the currently selected connection. SET CONNECTION = CURRENT is a no-op, so it's pretty useless, but nonetheless it does something different from selecting a connection by name; so we'd better document it.

* Remove useless self-joinsAlexander Korotkov2023-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Self Join Elimination (SJE) feature removes an inner join of a plain table to itself in the query tree if is proved that the join can be replaced with a scan without impacting the query result. Self join and inner relation are replaced with the outer in query, equivalence classes, and planner info structures. Also, inner restrictlist moves to the outer one with removing duplicated clauses. Thus, this optimization reduces the length of the range table list (this especially makes sense for partitioned relations), reduces the number of restriction clauses === selectivity estimations, and potentially can improve total planner prediction for the query. The SJE proof is based on innerrel_is_unique machinery. We can remove a self-join when for each outer row: 1. At most one inner row matches the join clause. 2. Each matched inner row must be (physically) the same row as the outer one. In this patch we use the next approach to identify a self-join: 1. Collect all merge-joinable join quals which look like a.x = b.x 2. Add to the list above the baseretrictinfo of the inner table. 3. Check innerrel_is_unique() for the qual list. If it returns false, skip this pair of joining tables. 4. Check uniqueness, proved by the baserestrictinfo clauses. To prove the possibility of self-join elimination inner and outer clauses must have an exact match. The relation replacement procedure is not trivial and it is partly combined with the one, used to remove useless left joins. Tests, covering this feature, were added to join.sql. Some regression tests changed due to self-join removal logic.

| | | | | | | This doco said that use of => as an operator "is deprecated". It's been fully disallowed since 865f14a2d back in 9.5, but evidently that commit missed updating this statement. Do so now.
* Extend ALTER OPERATOR to allow setting more optimization attributes.Tom Lane2023-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the COMMUTATOR, NEGATOR, MERGES, and HASHES attributes to be set by ALTER OPERATOR. However, we don't allow COMMUTATOR/NEGATOR to be changed once set, nor allow the MERGES/HASHES flags to be unset once set. Changes like that might invalidate plans already made, and dealing with the consequences seems like more trouble than it's worth. The main use-case we foresee for this is to allow addition of missed properties in extension update scripts, such as extending an existing operator to support hashing. So only transitions from not-set to set states seem very useful. This patch also causes us to reject some incorrect cases that formerly resulted in inconsistent catalog state, such as trying to set the commutator of an operator to be some other operator that already has a (different) commutator. While at it, move the InvokeObjectPostCreateHook call for CREATE OPERATOR to not occur until after we've fixed up commutator or negator links as needed. The previous ordering could only be justified by thinking of the OperatorUpd call as a kind of ALTER OPERATOR step; but we don't call InvokeObjectPostAlterHook therein. It seems better to let the hook see the final state of the operator object. In the documentation, move the discussion of how to establish commutator pairs from xoper.sgml to the CREATE OPERATOR ref page.

* pg_stat_statements: Add local_blk_{read|write}_timeMichael Paquier2023-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds to pg_stat_statements the two new fields for local buffers introduced by 295c36c0c1fa, adding the time spent to read and write these blocks. These are similar to what is done for temp and shared blocks. This information available only if track_io_timing is enabled. Like for 5a3423ad8ee17, no version bump is required in the module.

* Add local_blk_{read|write}_time I/O timing statistics for local blocksMichael Paquier2023-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There was no I/O timing statistics for counting read and write timings on local blocks, contrary to the counterparts for temp and shared blocks. This information is available when track_io_timing is enabled. The output of EXPLAIN is updated to show this information. An update of pg_stat_statements is planned next.
