Although error results received from the backend should always have
a SQLSTATE field, ones generated by libpq won't, making this code
vulnerable to a crash after, say, untimely loss of connection.
Noted by Coverity.
Oversight in commit 403a3d91c. Back-patch to 9.5, as that was.
Now that LOCK TABLE can take any relation type, acquire lock on all
relations that are to be dumped. This prevents schema changes or
deadlock errors that could cause a dump to fail after expending much
effort. The server is tested to have the capability and the feature
disabled if it doesn't, so that a patched pg_dump doesn't fail when
connecting to an unpatched server.

The Windows documentation insists that every WSAStartup call should
have a matching WSACleanup call. However, if that ever had actual
relevance, it wasn't in this century. Every remotely-modern Windows
kernel is capable of cleaning up when a process exits without doing
that, and must be so to avoid resource leaks in case of a process
crash. Moreover, Postgres backends have done WSAStartup without
WSACleanup since commit 4cdf51e64 in 2004, and we've never seen any
indication of a problem with that.
libpq's habit of doing WSAStartup during connection start and
WSACleanup during shutdown is also rather inefficient, since a
series of non-overlapping connection requests leads to repeated,
quite expensive DLL unload/reload cycles. We document a workaround
for that (having the application call WSAStartup for itself), but
that's just a kluge. It's also worth noting that it's far from
uncommon for applications to exit without doing PQfinish, and
we've not heard reports of trouble from that either.
However, the real reason for acting on this is that recent
experiments by Alexander Lakhin show that calling WSACleanup
during PQfinish is triggering the symptom we occasionally see
that a process using libpq fails to emit expected stdio output.
Therefore, let's change libpq so that it calls WSAStartup only
once per process, during the first connection attempt, and never
calls WSACleanup at all.
While at it, get rid of the only other WSACleanup call in our code
tree, in pg_dump/parallel.c; that presumably is equally useless.

Commit 3eb3d3e78 was a few bricks shy of a load: while it correctly
set the table's "interesting" flag when deciding to dump the data of
an extension config table, it was not correct to clear that flag
if we concluded we shouldn't dump the data. This led to the crash
reported in bug #16655, because in fact we'll traverse dumpTableSchema
anyway for all extension tables (to see if they have user-added
seclabels or RLS policies).
The right thing to do is to force "interesting" true in makeTableDataInfo,
and otherwise leave the flag alone. (Doing it there is more future-proof
in case additional calls are added, and it also avoids setting the flag
unnecessarily if that function decides the table is non-dumpable.)
This investigation also showed that while only the --inserts code path
had an obvious failure in the case considered by 3eb3d3e78, the COPY
code path also has a problem with not having loaded table subsidiary
data. That causes fmtCopyColumnList to silently return an empty string
instead of the correct column list. That accidentally mostly works,
which perhaps is why we didn't notice this before. It would only fail
if the restore column order is different from the dump column order,
which only happens in weird inheritance cases, so it's not surprising
nobody had hit the case with an extension config table. Nonetheless,
it's a bug, and it goes a long way back, not just to v12 where the
--inserts code path started to have a problem with this.
In hopes of catching such cases a bit sooner in future, add some
Asserts that "interesting" has been set in both dumpTableData and
dumpTableSchema. Adjust the test case added by 3eb3d3e78 so that it
checks the COPY rather than INSERT form of that bug, allowing it to
detect the longer-standing symptom.

Parallel pg_dump failed if its -d parameter was a connection string
containing any essential information other than host, port, or username.
The same was true for pg_restore with --create.
The reason is that these scenarios failed to preserve the connection
string from the command line; the code felt free to replace that with
just the database name when reconnecting from a pg_dump parallel worker
or after creating the target database. By chance, parallel pg_restore
did not suffer this defect, as long as you didn't say --create.
In practice it seems that the error would be obvious only if the
connstring included essential, non-default SSL or GSS parameters.
This may explain why it took us so long to notice. (It also makes
it very difficult to craft a regression test case illustrating the
problem, since the test would fail in builds without those options.)
Fix by refactoring so that ConnectDatabase always receives all the
relevant options directly from the command line, rather than
reconstructed values. Inject a different database name, when necessary,
by relying on libpq's rules for handling multiple "dbname" parameters.
While here, let's get rid of the essentially duplicate _connectDB
function, as well as some obsolete nearby cruft.

Coverity pointed out, not unreasonably, that we checked fseeko's
result at every other call site but these. Failure to seek in the
temp file (note this is NOT pg_dump's output file) seems quite
unlikely, and even if it did happen the file length cross-check
further down would probably detect the problem. Still, that's a
poor excuse for not checking the result of a system call.
Parallel pg_restore has always supposed that ACL items for different
objects are independent and can be restored in parallel without
conflicts. However, there is one case where this fails: because
REVOKE on a table is defined to also revoke the privilege(s) at
column level, we can't restore per-column ACLs till after we restore
any table-level privileges on their table. Failure to honor this
restriction can lead to "tuple concurrently updated" errors during
parallel restore, or even to the per-column ACLs silently disappearing
because the table-level REVOKE is executed afterwards.
To fix, add a dependency from each column-level ACL item to its table's
ACL item, if there is one. Note that this doesn't fix the hazard
for pre-existing archive files, only for ones made with a corrected
pg_dump. Given that the bug's been there quite awhile without
field reports, I think this is acceptable.
This requires changing the API of pg_dump's dumpACL() function.
To keep its argument list from getting even longer, I removed the
"CatalogId objCatId" argument, which has been unused for ages.

Previously, event triggers were restored just after regular triggers
(and FK constraints, which are basically triggers). This is risky
since an event trigger, once installed, could interfere with subsequent
restore commands. Worse, because event triggers don't have any
particular dependencies on any post-data objects, a parallel restore
would consider them eligible to be restored the moment the post-data
phase starts, allowing them to also interfere with restoration of a
whole bunch of objects that would have been restored before them in
a serial restore. There's no way to completely remove the risk of a
misguided event trigger breaking the restore, since if nothing else
it could break other event triggers. But we can certainly push them
to later in the process to minimize the hazard.
To fix, tweak the RestorePass mechanism introduced by commit 3eb9a5e7c
so that event triggers are handled as part of the post-ACL processing
pass (renaming the "REFRESH" pass to "POST_ACL" to reflect its more
general use). This will cause them to restore after everything except
matview refreshes, which seems OK since matview refreshes really ought
to run in the post-restore state of the database. In a parallel
restore, event triggers and matview refreshes might be intermixed,
but that seems all right as well.
Also update the code and comments in pg_dump_sort.c so that its idea
of how things are sorted agrees with what actually happens due to
the RestorePass mechanism. This is mostly cosmetic: it'll affect the
order of objects in a dump's TOC, but not the actual restore order.
But not changing that would be quite confusing to somebody reading
the code.

If we failed to fork a worker process, or create a communication pipe
for one, WaitForTerminatingWorkers would suffer an assertion failure
if assert-enabled, otherwise crash or go into an infinite loop. This
was a consequence of not accounting for the startup condition where
we've not yet forked all the workers.
The original bug was that ParallelBackupStart would set workerStatus to
WRKR_IDLE before it had successfully forked a worker. I made things
worse in commit b7b8cc0cf by not understanding the undocumented fact
that the WRKR_TERMINATED state was also meant to represent the case
where a worker hadn't been started yet: I changed enum T_WorkerStatus
so that *all* the worker slots were initially in WRKR_IDLE state. But
this wasn't any more broken in practice, since even one slot in the
wrong state would keep WaitForTerminatingWorkers from terminating.
In v10 and later, introduce an explicit T_WorkerStatus value for
worker-not-started, in hopes of preventing future oversights of the
same ilk. Before that, just document that WRKR_TERMINATED is supposed
to cover that case (partly because it wasn't actively broken, and
partly because the enum is exposed outside parallel.c in those branches,
so there's microscopically more risk involved in changing it).
In all branches, introduce a WORKER_IS_RUNNING status test macro
to hide which T_WorkerStatus values mean that, and be more careful
not to access ParallelSlot fields till we're sure they're valid.

This is a back-patch of the v10 commit d8c05aff5. The motivation for
doing this now is that we received a complaint that a view with a
circular dependency is dumped with an extra bogus command "ALTER TABLE
ONLY myview REPLICA IDENTITY NOTHING", because pg_dump forgets that it's
a view not a table, and the relreplident value stored for a view is that.
So you'll get an error message during restore even if not using --clean;
this would break pg_upgrade for example. While that could be handled
with a one-line patch, it seems better to back-patch d8c05aff5, since that
produces cleaner more future-proof output and fixes an additional bug.

Original commit message follows:
pg_dump's traditional solution for breaking a circular dependency involving
a view was to create the view with CREATE TABLE and then later issue CREATE
RULE "_RETURN" ... to convert the table to a view, relying on the backend's
very very ancient code that supports making views that way. We've wanted
to get rid of that kluge for a long time, but the thing that finally
motivates doing something about it is the recognition that this method
fails with the --clean option, because it leads to issuing DROP RULE
"_RETURN" followed by DROP TABLE --- and the backend won't let you drop a
view's _RETURN rule.
Instead, let's break circular dependencies by initially creating the view
using CREATE VIEW AS SELECT NULL::columntype AS columnname, ... (so that
it has the right column names and types to support external references,
but no dependencies beyond the column data types), and then later dumping
the ON SELECT rule using the spelling CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW. This method
wasn't available when this code was originally written, but it's been
possible since PG 7.3, so it seems fine to start relying on it now.
To solve the --clean problem, make the dropStmt for an ON SELECT rule
be CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW with the same dummy target list as above.
In this way, during the DROP phase, we first reduce the view to have
no extra dependencies, and then we can drop it entirely when we've
gotten rid of whatever had a circular dependency on it.
(Note: this should work adequately well with the --if-exists option, since
the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW will go through whether the view exists or not.
It could fail if the view exists with a conflicting column set, but we
don't really support --clean against a non-matching database anyway.)
This allows cleaning up some other kluges inside pg_dump, notably that
we don't need a notion of reloptions attached to a rule anymore.
Although this is a bug fix, commit to HEAD only for now. The problem's
existed for a long time and we've had relatively few complaints, so it
doesn't really seem worth taking risks to fix it in the back branches.
We might revisit that choice if no problems emerge.

Since pg_dump doesn't treat the member operators and functions of operator
classes/families (that is, the pg_amop and pg_amproc entries, not the
underlying operators/functions) as separate dumpable objects, it missed
their dependency information. I think this was safe when the code was
designed, because the default object sorting rule emits operators and
functions before opclasses, and there were no dependency types that could
mess that up. However, the introduction of range types in 9.2 broke it:
now a type can have a dependency on an opclass, allowing dependency rules
to push the opclass before the type and hence before custom operators.
Lacking any information showing that it shouldn't do so, pg_dump emitted
the objects in the wrong order.
Fix by teaching getDependencies() to translate pg_depend entries for
pg_amop/amproc rows to look like dependencies for their parent opfamily.
I added a regression test for this in HEAD/v12, but not further back;
life is too short to fight with 002_pg_dump.pl.

This uses a method similar to 68a7c24f and now b8c6014 (applied for
database creation), which guarantees that GRANT commands using the WITH
GRANT OPTION are dumped in a way so as cascading dependencies are
respected. Note that tablespaces do not have support for initial
privileges via pg_init_privs, so the same method needs to be applied
again. It would be nice to merge all the logic generating ACL queries
in dumps under the same banner, but this requires extending the support
of pg_init_privs to objects that cannot use it yet, so this is left as
future work.

Renaming varchar_transform to varchar_support had a side effect
I hadn't foreseen: the core regression tests leave around a
transform object that relies on that function, so the name
change breaks cross-version upgrade tests, because the name

Since the dependency on varchar_transform was chosen with the

Commit 62215de29 turns out to have been not quite on-the-mark.
When we are forced to postpone dumping of a materialized view into
the dump's post-data section (because it depends on a unique index
that isn't created till that section), we may also have to postpone
dumping other matviews that depend on said matview. The previous fix
didn't reliably work for such cases: it'd break the dependency loops
properly, producing a workable object ordering, but it didn't
necessarily mark all the matviews as "postponed_def". This led to
harmless bleating about "archive items not in correct section order",
as reported by Tom Cassidy in bug #15602. Less harmlessly,
selective-restore options such as --section might misbehave due to
the matview dump objects not being properly labeled.
The right way to fix it is to consider that each pre-data dependency
we break amounts to moving the no-longer-dependent object into
post-data, and hence we should mark that object if it's a matview.

Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of
passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter
of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in
pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from
PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to
have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally
managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went
undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes
to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path.
In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server-
version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the
time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the
ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few
callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.)
In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just
tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify

it didn't need to concern itself with the possibility that one object

Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load.
We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they
appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns. However, although that
quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two
critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which
variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid
too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list
entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks
truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists
of pathnames.
To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation,
and then emit each element as a SQL string literal.
This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the
comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth
one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those
splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would
be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of
SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be
worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched

pg_dump knew about printing ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX
for indexes declared as indexes, but it failed to print that for indexes
declared as unique or primary-key constraints. Per report from Achilleas
Mantzios.
This has been broken since the feature was introduced, AFAICS.
Back-patch to 9.4.

Back-patch commit dddfc4cb2, which broke LDFLAGS and related Makefile
variables into two parts, one for within-build-tree library references and
one for external libraries, to ensure that the order of -L flags has all
of the former before all of the latter. This turns out to fix a problem
recently noted on buildfarm member peripatus, that we attempted to
incorporate code from libpgport.a into a shared library. That will fail on
platforms that are sticky about putting non-PIC code into shared libraries.
(It's quite surprising we hadn't seen such failures before, since the code
in question has been like that for a long time.)
I think that peripatus' problem could have been fixed with just a subset
of this patch; but since the previous issue of accidentally linking to the
wrong copy of a Postgres shlib seems likely to bite people in the field,
let's just back-patch the whole change. Now that commit dddfc4cb2 has
survived some beta testing, I'm less afraid to back-patch it than I was
at the time.
This also fixes undesired inclusion of "-DFRONTEND" in pg_config's CPPFLAGS
output (in 9.6 and up) and undesired inclusion of "-L../../src/common" in
its LDFLAGS output (in all supported branches).
Back-patch to v10 and older branches; this is already in v11.
