Commit 76b78721ca introduced two new columns in pg_stat_replication_slots
to improve monitoring of slot synchronization. One of these columns was
named slotsync_skip_at, which is inconsistent with the naming convention
used for similar columns in other system views.
Columns that store timestamps of the most recent event typically use the
'last_' in the column name (e.g., last_autovacuum, checksum_last_failure).
Renaming slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip aligns with this pattern,
making the purpose of the column clearer and improving overall consistency
across the views.

Introduce a new column, slotsync_skip_reason, in the pg_replication_slots
view. This column records the reason why the last slot synchronization was
skipped. It is primarily relevant for logical replication slots on standby
servers where the 'synced' field is true. The value is NULL when
synchronization succeeds.

This patch adds two new columns to the pg_stat_replication_slots view:
slotsync_skip_count - the total number of times a slotsync operation was
skipped.
slotsync_skip_at - the timestamp of the most recent skip.
These additions provide better visibility into replication slot

A future patch will introduce the slotsync_skip_reason column in
pg_replication_slots to capture the reason for skip.

The existing range_minus function raises an exception when the range is
"split", because then the result can't be represented by a single range.
For example '[0,10)'::int4range - '[4,5)' would be '[0,4)' and '[5,10)'.
This commit adds new set-returning functions so that callers can get
results even in the case of splits. There is no risk of an exception for
multiranges, but a set-returning function lets us handle them the same
way we handle ranges.
Both functions return zero results if the subtraction would give an
empty range/multirange.
The main use-case for these functions is to implement UPDATE/DELETE FOR
PORTION OF, which must compute the application-time of "temporal
leftovers": the part of history in an updated/deleted row that was not
changed. To preserve the untouched history, we will implicitly insert
one record for each result returned by range/multirange_minus_multi.
Using a set-returning function will also let us support user-defined
types for application-time update/delete in the future.

This patch introduces sequence synchronization. Sequences that are synced
will have 2 states:
- INIT (needs [re]synchronizing)
- READY (is already synchronized)
A new sequencesync worker is launched as needed to synchronize sequences.
A single sequencesync worker is responsible for synchronizing all
sequences. It begins by retrieving the list of sequences that are flagged
for synchronization, i.e., those in the INIT state. These sequences are
then processed in batches, allowing multiple entries to be synchronized
within a single transaction. The worker fetches the current sequence
values and page LSNs from the remote publisher, updates the corresponding
sequences on the local subscriber, and finally marks each sequence as
READY upon successful synchronization.
Sequence synchronization occurs in 3 places:
1) CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
- The command syntax remains unchanged.
- The subscriber retrieves sequences associated with publications.
- Published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT
state.
- Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences.
2) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
- The command syntax remains unchanged.
- Dropped published sequences are removed from pg_subscription_rel.
- Newly published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT
state.
- Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize only newly added
sequences.
3) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
- A new command introduced for PG19 by f0b3573c3a.
- All sequences in pg_subscription_rel are reset to INIT state.
- Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences.
- Unlike "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION" command,
addition and removal of missing sequences will not be done in this
case.

replorigin_session_setup() was extended to accept a pid argument

This commit exposes that capability through the SQL interface function
pg_replication_origin_session_setup() by adding an optional pid parameter.
This enables multiple processes to coordinate replication using the same
origin when using SQL-level replication functions.
This change allows the non-builtin logical replication solutions to
implement parallel apply for large transactions.

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.

However, we later (commit 630f9a43ce) changed this to fit into
index-AM-level compare type mapping, so this function actually now
maps from compare type to opfamily-specific strategy numbers. So this
name is no longer fitting.
Moreover, the index AM level also supports the opposite, a function to
map from strategy number to compare type. This is currently not
supported in gist, but one might wonder what this function is supposed
to be called when it is added.
This patch changes the naming of the gist-level functionality to be

This adds a function for retrieving memory context statistics
and information from backends as well as auxiliary processes.
The intended usecase is cluster debugging when under memory
pressure or unanticipated memory usage characteristics.
When calling the function it sends a signal to the specified
process to submit statistics regarding its memory contexts
into dynamic shared memory. Each memory context is returned
in detail, followed by a cumulative total in case the number
of contexts exceed the max allocated amount of shared memory.
Each process is limited to use at most 1Mb memory for this.
A summary can also be explicitly requested by the user, this
will return the TopMemoryContext and a cumulative total of
all lower contexts.
In order to not block on busy processes the caller specifies
the number of seconds during which to retry before timing out.
In the case where no statistics are published within the set
timeout, the last known statistics are returned, or NULL if
no previously published statistics exist. This allows dash-
board type queries to continually publish even if the target
process is temporarily congested. Context records contain a
timestamp to indicate when they were submitted.

Teach nbtree multi-column index scans to opportunistically skip over
irrelevant sections of the index given a query with no "=" conditions on
one or more prefix index columns. When nbtree is passed input scan keys
derived from a predicate "WHERE b = 5", new nbtree preprocessing steps
output "WHERE a = ANY(<every possible 'a' value>) AND b = 5" scan keys.
That is, preprocessing generates a "skip array" (and an output scan key)
for the omitted prefix column "a", which makes it safe to mark the scan
key on "b" as required to continue the scan. The scan is therefore able
to repeatedly reposition itself by applying both the "a" and "b" keys.
A skip array has "elements" that are generated procedurally and on
demand, but otherwise works just like a regular ScalarArrayOp array.
Preprocessing can freely add a skip array before or after any input
ScalarArrayOp arrays. Index scans with a skip array decide when and
where to reposition the scan using the same approach as any other scan
with array keys. This design builds on the design for array advancement
and primitive scan scheduling added to Postgres 17 by commit 5bf748b8.
Testing has shown that skip scans of an index with a low cardinality
skipped prefix column can be multiple orders of magnitude faster than an
equivalent full index scan (or sequential scan). In general, the
cardinality of the scan's skipped column(s) limits the number of leaf
pages that can be skipped over.
The core B-Tree operator classes on most discrete types generate their
array elements with the help of their own custom skip support routine.
This infrastructure gives nbtree a way to generate the next required
array element by incrementing (or decrementing) the current array value.
It can reduce the number of index descents in cases where the next
possible indexable value frequently turns out to be the next value
stored in the index. Opclasses that lack a skip support routine fall
back on having nbtree "increment" (or "decrement") a skip array's
current element by setting the NEXT (or PRIOR) scan key flag, without
directly changing the scan key's sk_argument. These sentinel values
behave just like any other value from an array -- though they can never
locate equal index tuples (they can only locate the next group of index
tuples containing the next set of non-sentinel values that the scan's
arrays need to advance to).
A skip array's range is constrained by "contradictory" inequality keys.
For example, a skip array on "x" will only generate the values 1 and 2
given a qual such as "WHERE x BETWEEN 1 AND 2 AND y = 66". Such a skip
array qual usually has near-identical performance characteristics to a
comparable SAOP qual "WHERE x = ANY('{1, 2}') AND y = 66". However,
improved performance isn't guaranteed. Much depends on physical index
characteristics.
B-Tree preprocessing is optimistic about skipping working out: it
applies static, generic rules when determining where to generate skip
arrays, which assumes that the runtime overhead of maintaining skip
arrays will pay for itself -- or lead to only a modest performance loss.
As things stand, these assumptions are much too optimistic: skip array
maintenance will lead to unacceptable regressions with unsympathetic
queries (queries whose scan can't skip over many irrelevant leaf pages).
An upcoming commit will address the problems in this area by enhancing
_bt_readpage's approach to saving cycles on scan key evaluation, making
it work in a way that directly considers the needs of = array keys
(particularly = skip array keys).

The issue is that the transactions prepared before two-phase decoding is
enabled can fail to replicate to the subscriber after being committed on a
promoted standby following a failover. This is because the two_phase_at
field of a slot, which tracks the LSN from which two-phase decoding
starts, is not synchronized to standby servers. Without two_phase_at, the
logical decoding might incorrectly identify prepared transaction as
already replicated to the subscriber after promotion of standby server,
causing them to be skipped.
To address the issue on HEAD, the two_phase_at field of the slot is
exposed by the pg_replication_slots view and allows the slot
synchronization to copy this value to the corresponding synced slot on the
standby server.
This bug is likely to occur if the user toggles the two_phase option to
true after initial slot creation. Given that altering the two_phase option
of a replication slot is not allowed in PostgreSQL 17, this bug is less
likely to occur. We can't change the view/function definition in
backbranch so we can't push the same fix but we are brainstorming an
appropriate solution for PG17.

For GiST, having a sortsupport function allows building the index
using the "sorted build" method, which is much faster.
For b-tree, the sortsupport routine doesn't give any new
functionality, but speeds up sorting a tiny bit. The difference is not
very significant, about 2% in cursory testing on my laptop, because
the range type comparison function has quite a lot of overhead from
detoasting. In any case, since we have the function for GiST anyway,
we might as well register it for the btree opfamily too.

This feature is expected to be particularly useful for modules

This is more natural during export, fits with the other arguments
better, and it gives better control over error handling in case we

Introduce a new conflict type, multiple_unique_conflicts, to handle cases
where an incoming row during logical replication violates multiple UNIQUE
constraints.
Previously, the apply worker detected and reported only the first
encountered key conflict (insert_exists/update_exists), causing repeated
failures as each constraint violation needs to be handled one by one
making the process slow and error-prone.
With this patch, the apply worker checks all unique constraints upfront
once the first key conflict is detected and reports
multiple_unique_conflicts if multiple violations exist. This allows users
to resolve all conflicts at once by deleting all conflicting tuples rather
than dealing with them individually or skipping the transaction.
In the future, this will also allow us to specify different resolution
handlers for such a conflict type.
Add the stats for this conflict type in pg_stat_subscription_stats.

This commit adds per-backend WAL statistics, providing the same
information as pg_stat_wal, except that it is now possible to know how
much WAL activity is happening in each backend rather than an overall
aggregate of all the activity. Like pg_stat_wal, the implementation
relies on pgWalUsage, tracking the difference of activity between two
reports to pgstats.
This data can be retrieved with a new system function called
pg_stat_get_backend_wal(), that returns one tuple based on the PID
provided in input. Like pg_stat_get_backend_io(), this is useful when
joined with pg_stat_activity to get a live picture of the WAL generated
for each running backend, showing how the activity is [un]balanced.
pgstat_flush_backend() gains a new flag value, able to control the flush
of the WAL stats.
This commit relies mostly on the infrastructure provided by
9aea73fc61, that has introduced backend statistics.

The signedness of the 'char' type in C is
implementation-dependent. For instance, 'signed char' is used by
default on x86 CPUs, while 'unsigned char' is used on aarch
CPUs. Previously, we accidentally let C implementation signedness
affect persistent data. This led to inconsistent results when
comparing char data across different platforms.
This commit introduces a new 'default_char_signedness' field in
ControlFileData to store the signedness of the 'char' type. While this
change does not encourage the use of 'char' without explicitly
specifying its signedness, this field can be used as a hint to ensure
consistent behavior for pre-v18 data files that store data sorted by
the 'char' type on disk (e.g., GIN and GiST indexes), especially in
cross-platform replication scenarios.
Newly created database clusters unconditionally set the default char
signedness to true. pg_upgrade (with an upcoming commit) changes this
flag for clusters if the source database cluster has
signedness=false. As a result, signedness=false setting will become
rare over time. If we had known about the problem during the last
development cycle that forced initdb (v8.3), we would have made all
clusters signed or all clusters unsigned. Making pg_upgrade the only
source of signedness=false will cause the population of database
clusters to converge toward that retrospective ideal.

Commit 1dc5ebc90 allowed PL/pgSQL to perform in-place updates
of expanded-object variables that are being updated with
assignments like "x := f(x, ...)". However this was allowed
only for a hard-wired list of functions f(), since we need to
be sure that f() will not modify the variable if it fails.
It was always envisioned that we should make that extensible,
but at the time we didn't have a good way to do so. Since
then we've invented the idea of "support functions" to allow
attaching specialized optimization knowledge to functions,
and that is a perfect mechanism for doing this.
Hence, adjust PL/pgSQL to use a support function request instead
of hard-wired logic to decide if in-place update is safe.
Preserve the previous optimizations by creating support functions
for the three functions that were previously hard-wired.

problems with using LOWER() for caseless matching.
For collations that support it, CASEFOLD() handles characters with

more stable across Unicode versions than LOWER() or UPPER().

If a time zone abbreviation used in datetime input is defined in
the currently active timezone, use that definition in preference
to looking in the timezone_abbreviations list. That allows us to
correctly handle abbreviations that have different meanings in
different timezones. Also, it eliminates an inconsistency between
datetime input and datetime output: the non-ISO datestyles for
timestamptz have always printed abbreviations taken from the IANA
data, not from timezone_abbreviations. Before this fix, it was
possible to demonstrate cases where casting a timestamp to text
and back fails or changes the value significantly because of that
inconsistency.
While this change removes the ability to override the IANA data about
an abbreviation known in the current zone, it's not clear that there's
any real use-case for doing so. But it is clear that this makes life
a lot easier for dealing with abbreviations that have conflicts across
different time zones.
Also update the pg_timezone_abbrevs view to report abbreviations
that are recognized via the IANA data, and *not* report any
timezone_abbreviations entries that are thereby overridden.
Under the hood, there are now two SRFs, one that pulls the IANA
data and one that pulls timezone_abbreviations entries. They're
combined by logic in the view. This approach was useful for
debugging (since the functions can be called on their own).
While I don't intend to document the functions explicitly,
they might be useful to call directly.
Also improve DecodeTimezoneAbbrev's caching logic so that it can
cache zone abbreviations found in the IANA data. Without that,
this patch would have caused a noticeable degradation of the
runtime of timestamptz_in.
Per report from Aleksander Alekseev and additional investigation.
