* pg_stat_statements: Track number of times pgss entries were deallocated.Fujii Masao2020-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If more distinct statements than pg_stat_statements.max are observed, pg_stat_statements entries about the least-executed statements are deallocated. This commit enables us to track the total number of times those entries were deallocated. That number can be viewed in the pg_stat_statements_info view that this commit adds. It's useful when tuning pg_stat_statements.max parameter. If it's high, i.e., the entries are deallocated very frequently, which might cause the performance regression and we can increase pg_stat_statements.max to avoid those frequent deallocations. The pg_stat_statements_info view is intended to display the statistics of pg_stat_statements module itself. Currently it has only one column "dealloc" indicating the number of times entries were deallocated. But an upcoming patch will add other columns (for example, the time at which pg_stat_statements statistics were last reset) into the view.

* Rename the "point is strictly above/below point" comparison operators.Tom Lane2020-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically these were called >^ and <^, but that is inconsistent with the similar box, polygon, and circle operators, which are named |>> and <<| respectively. Worse, the >^ and <^ names are used for *not* strict above/below tests for the box type. Hence, invent new operators following the more common naming. The old operators remain available for now, and are still accepted by the relevant index opclasses too. But there's a deprecation notice, so maybe we can get rid of them someday.

* Remove INSERT privilege check at table creation of CTAS and matviewMichael Paquier2020-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per discussion with Peter Eisentraunt, the SQL standard specifies that any tuple insertion done as part of CREATE TABLE AS happens without any extra ACL check, so it makes little sense to keep a check for INSERT privileges when using WITH DATA. Materialized views are not part of the standard, but similarly, this check can be confusing as this refers to an access check on a table created within the same command as the one that would insert data into this table. This commit removes the INSERT privilege check for WITH DATA, the default, that 846005e removed partially, but only for WITH NO DATA.

* Remove undocumented IS [NOT] OF syntax.Tom Lane2020-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature was added a long time ago, in 7c1e67bd5 and eb121ba2c, but never documented in any user-facing way. (Documentation added in 6126d3e70 was commented out almost immediately, in 8272fc3f7.) That's because, while this syntax is defined by SQL:99, our implementation is only vaguely related to the standard's semantics. The standard appears to intend a run-time not parse-time test, and it definitely intends that the test should understand subtype relationships. No one has stepped up to fix that in the intervening years, but people keep coming across the code and asking why it's not documented. Let's just get rid of it: if anyone ever wants to make it work per spec, they can easily recover whatever parts of this code are still of value from our git history. If there's anyone out there who's actually using this despite its undocumented status, they can switch to using pg_typeof() instead, eg. "pg_typeof(something) = 'mytype'::regtype". That gives essentially the same semantics as what our IS OF code did. (We didn't have that function last time this was discussed, or we would have ripped out IS OF then.)

* Relax INSERT privilege requirement for CTAS and matviews WITH NO DATAMichael Paquier2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When specified, WITH NO DATA does not insert any data into the relation created, so skip checking for the insert permissions. With WITH DATA or WITH NO DATA, it is always required for the user to have CREATE privileges on the schema targeted for the relation. Note that plain CREATE TABLE AS or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW queries have begun to work accidentally without INSERT privilege checks as of 874fe3ae, while using EXECUTE or EXPLAIN ANALYZE would fail with the ACL check, so this makes the behavior for all the command flavors consistent with each other. This is arguably a bug fix, but there have been no complaints about the current behavior either so stable branches are not changed. While on it, document properly the privileges requirements for each commands with more tests for all the scenarios possible, and avoid a useless bulk-insert allocation when using WITH NO DATA.

* Fix fuzzy thinking about amcanmulticol versus amcaninclude.Tom Lane2020-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These flags should be independent: in particular an index AM should be able to say that it supports include columns without necessarily supporting multiple key columns. The included-columns patch got this wrong, possibly aided by the fact that it didn't bother to update the documentation. While here, clarify some text about amcanreturn, which was a little vague about what should happen when amcanreturn reports that only some of the index columns are returnable. Noted while reviewing the SP-GiST included-columns patch, which quite incorrectly (and unsafely) changed SP-GiST to claim amcanmulticol = true as a workaround for this bug. Backpatch to v11 where included columns were introduced.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is mostly straightforward. However, we disallow replacing constraint triggers or changing the is-constraint property; perhaps that can be added later, but the complexity versus benefit tradeoff doesn't look very good. Also, no special thought is taken here for whether replacing an existing trigger should result in changes to queued-but-not-fired trigger actions. We just document that if you're surprised by the results, too bad, don't do that. (Note that any such pending trigger activity would have to be within the current session.)

* doc: Mention UNION/ORDER BY etc. keywords in section headers.Heikki Linnakangas2020-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the section and sub-section headers in the Queries chapter have the keywords literally stated, but neither "Sorting Rows" nor "Combining Rows" did. There's no rule that they must be, but it seems like a good practice. The keywords will ring a bell to anyone with with even a little bit of SQL experience. David G.

* Track statistics for streaming of changes from ReorderBuffer.Amit Kapila2020-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the statistics about transactions streamed to the decoding output plugin from ReorderBuffer. Users can query the pg_stat_replication_slots view to check these stats and call pg_stat_reset_replication_slot to reset the stats of a particular slot. Users can pass NULL in pg_stat_reset_replication_slot to reset stats of all the slots. Commit 9868167500 has added the basic infrastructure to capture the stats of slot and this commit extends the statistics collector to track additional information about slots. Bump the catversion as we have added new columns in the catalog entry.
