Commit 08dd23cec introduced an exception to the rule that extension member
objects can only be dropped as part of dropping the whole extension,
intending to allow such drops while running the extension's own creation or
update scripts. However, the exception was only applied at the outermost
recursion level, because it was modeled on a pre-existing check to ignore
dependencies on objects listed in pendingObjects. Bug #14434 from Philippe
Beaudoin shows that this is inadequate: in some cases we can reach an
extension member object by recursion from another one. (The bug concerns
the serial-sequence case; I'm not sure if there are other cases, but there
might well be.)
To fix, revert 08dd23cec's changes to findDependentObjects() and instead
apply the creating_extension exception regardless of stack level.
Having seen this example, I'm a bit suspicious that the pendingObjects
logic is also wrong and such cases should likewise be allowed at any
recursion level. However, changing that would interact in subtle ways
with the recursion logic (at least it would need to be moved to after the
recursing-from check). Given that the code's been like that a long time,
I'll refrain from touching it without a clear example showing it's wrong.

When dropping a foreign key constraint with ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT,
we refuse the drop if there are any pending trigger events on the named
table; this ensures that we won't remove the pg_trigger row that will be
consulted by those events. But we should make the same check for the
referenced relation, else we might remove a due-to-be-referenced pg_trigger
row for that relation too, resulting in "could not find trigger NNN" or
"relation NNN has no triggers" errors at commit. Per bug #14431 from

Previously, requesting commit timestamp for transactions
FrozenTransactionId and BootstrapTransactionId resulted in an error.
But since those values can validly appear in committed tuples' Xmin,
this behavior is unhelpful and error prone: each caller would have to
special-case those values before requesting timestamp data for an Xid.
We already have a perfectly good interface for returning "the Xid you
requested is too old for us to have commit TS data for it", so let's use
that instead.

When rebuilding an existing index, ALTER TABLE correctly kept the
physical file in the same tablespace, but it messed up the pg_class
entry if the index had been in the database's default tablespace
and "default_tablespace" was set to some non-default tablespace.
This led to an inaccessible index.
Fix by fixing pg_get_indexdef_string() to always include a tablespace
clause, whether or not the index is in the default tablespace. The
previous behavior was installed in commit 537e92e41, and I think it just
wasn't thought through very clearly; certainly the possible effect of
default_tablespace wasn't considered. There's some risk in changing the
behavior of this function, but there are no other call sites in the core
code. Even if it's being used by some third party extension, it's fairly
hard to envision a usage that is okay with a tablespace clause being
appended some of the time but can't handle it being appended all the time.

Previously, the right-hand side of a multiple-column assignment, if it
wasn't a sub-SELECT, had to be a simple parenthesized expression list,
because gram.y was responsible for "bursting" the construct into
independent column assignments. This had the minor defect that you
couldn't write ROW (though you should be able to, since the standard says
this is a row constructor), and the rather larger defect that unlike other
uses of row constructors, we would not expand a "foo.*" item into multiple
columns.
Fix that by changing the RHS to be just "a_expr" in the grammar, leaving
it to transformMultiAssignRef to separate the elements of a RowExpr;
which it will do only after performing standard transformation of the
RowExpr, so that "foo.*" behaves as expected.
The key reason we didn't do that before was the hard-wired handling of
DEFAULT tokens (SetToDefault nodes). This patch deals with that issue by
allowing DEFAULT in any a_expr and having parse analysis throw an error
if SetToDefault is found in an unexpected place. That's an improvement
anyway since the error can be more specific than just "syntax error".
The SQL standard suggests that the RHS could be any a_expr yielding a
suitable row value. This patch doesn't really move the goal posts in that
respect --- you're still limited to RowExpr or a sub-SELECT --- but it does
fix the grammar restriction, so it provides some tangible progress towards
a full implementation. And the limitation is now documented by an explicit
error message rather than an unhelpful "syntax error".
Discussion: <8542.1479742008@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Because we use transformTargetList() for UPDATE as well as SELECT
tlists, the code accidentally tried to expand a "*" reference into
several columns. This is nonsensical, because the UPDATE syntax
provides exactly one target column to put the value into. The
immediate result was that transformUpdateTargetList() got confused
and reported "UPDATE target count mismatch --- internal error".
It seems better to treat such a reference as a plain whole-row
variable, as it would be in other contexts. (This could produce
useful results when the target column is of composite type.)
Fix by tweaking transformTargetList() to perform *-expansion only
conditionally, depending on its exprKind parameter.
Back-patch to 9.3. The problem exists further back, but a fix would be
much more invasive before that, because transformTargetList() wasn't
told what kind of list it was working on. Doesn't seem worth the
trouble given the lack of field reports. (I only noticed it because
I was checking the code while trying to improve the documentation about
how we handle "foo.*".)

To help implement the view, add a new internal function

Invent a new function heap_modify_tuple_by_cols() that is functionally
equivalent to SPI_modifytuple except that it always allocates its result
by simple palloc. I chose however to make the API details a bit more
like heap_modify_tuple: pass a tupdesc rather than a Relation, and use
bool convention for the isnull array.
Use this function in place of SPI_modifytuple at all call sites where the
intended behavior is to allocate in current context. (There actually are
only two call sites left that depend on the old behavior, which makes me
wonder if we should just drop this function rather than keep it.)
This new function is easier to use than heap_modify_tuple() for purposes
of replacing a single column (or, really, any fixed number of columns).
There are a number of places where it would simplify the code to change
over, but I resisted that temptation for the moment ... everywhere except
in plpgsql's exec_assign_value(); changing that might offer some small
performance benefit, so I did it.
This is on the way to removing SPI_push/SPI_pop, but it seems like
good code cleanup in its own right.

There's basically no scenario where it's sensible for this to match
dropped columns, so put a test for dropped-ness into SPI_fnumber()
itself, and excise the test from the small number of callers that
were paying attention to the case. (Most weren't :-(.)
In passing, normalize tests at call sites: always reject attnum <= 0
if we're disallowing system columns. Previously there was a mixture
of "< 0" and "<= 0" tests. This makes no practical difference since
SPI_fnumber() never returns 0, but I'm feeling pedantic today.
Also, in the places that are actually live user-facing code and not
legacy cruft, distinguish "column not found" from "can't handle
system column".
Per discussion with Jim Nasby; thi supersedes his original patch

While converting expressions in an upper-level plan node so that they
reference Vars and expressions provided by the input plan node(s),
don't convert plain Const items, even if there happens to be a matching
Const in the input. It's silly to do so because a Var is more expensive to
execute than a Const. Moreover, converting can fool ExecCheckPlanOutput's
check that an insert or update query inserts nulls into dropped columns,
leading to "query provides a value for a dropped column" errors during
INSERT or UPDATE on a table with a dropped column. We could solve this
by making that check more complicated, but I don't see the point; this fix
should save a marginal number of cycles, and it also makes for less messy
EXPLAIN output, as shown by the ensuing regression test result changes.

Despite the argumentation I wrote in commit 7a2fe85b0, it's unsafe to do
this, because in corner cases it's possible for HeapTupleSatisfiesSelf
to try to set hint bits on the target tuple; and at least since 8.2 we
have required the buffer content lock to be held while setting hint bits.
The added regression test exercises one such corner case. Unpatched, it
causes an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, or otherwise would
cause a hint bit change in a buffer we don't hold lock on, which given
the right race condition could result in checksum failures or other data

When a relation is truncated, it is important that the FSM is truncated as
well. Otherwise, after recovery, the FSM can return a page that has been
truncated away, leading to errors like:
ERROR: could not read block 28991 in file "base/16390/572026": read only 0
of 8192 bytes
We were using MarkBufferDirtyHint() to dirty the buffer holding the last
remaining page of the FSM, but during recovery, that might in fact not
dirty the page, and the FSM update might be lost.
To fix, use the stronger MarkBufferDirty() function. MarkBufferDirty()
requires us to do WAL-logging ourselves, to protect from a torn page, if
checksumming is enabled.
Also fix an oversight in visibilitymap_truncate: it also needs to WAL-log
when checksumming is enabled.

Historically, we've allowed users to add a CHECK constraint to a child
table and then add an identical CHECK constraint to the parent. This
results in "merging" the two constraints so that the pre-existing
child constraint ends up with both conislocal = true and coninhcount > 0.
However, if you tried to do it in the other order, you got a duplicate
constraint error. This is problematic for pg_dump, which needs to issue
separated ADD CONSTRAINT commands in some cases, but has no good way to
ensure that the constraints will be added in the required order.
And it's more than a bit arbitrary, too. The goal of complaining about
duplicated ADD CONSTRAINT commands can be served if we reject the case of
adding a constraint when the existing one already has conislocal = true;
but if it has conislocal = false, let's just make the ADD CONSTRAINT set
conislocal = true. In this way, either order of adding the constraints
has the same end result.
Another problem was that the code allowed creation of a parent constraint
marked convalidated that is merged with a child constraint that is
!convalidated. In this case, an inheritance scan of the parent table could
emit some rows violating the constraint condition, which would be an
unexpected result given the marking of the parent constraint as validated.
Hence, forbid merging of constraints in this case. (Note: valid child and
not-valid parent seems fine, so continue to allow that.)
Per report from Benedikt Grundmann. Back-patch to 9.2 where we introduced
possibly-not-valid check constraints. The second bug obviously doesn't
apply before that, and I think the first doesn't either, because pg_dump
only gets into this situation when dealing with not-valid constraints.

There were several issues with the old coding:
1. There was a race condition, if two threads opened a connection at the
same time. We used a mutex around SSL_CTX_* calls, but that was not
enough, e.g. if one thread SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() with one
path, and another thread set it with a different path, before the first
thread got to establish the connection.
2. Opening two different connections, with different sslrootcert settings,
seemed to fail outright with "SSL error: block type is not 01". Not sure
why.
3. We created the SSL object, before calling SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations
and SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file on the SSL context. That was
wrong, because the options set on the SSL context are propagated to the
SSL object, when the SSL object is created. If they are set after the
SSL object has already been created, they won't take effect until the
next connection. (This is bug #14329)
At least some of these could've been fixed while still using a shared
context, but it would've been more complicated and error-prone. To keep
things simple, let's just use a separate SSL context for each connection,
and accept the overhead.

Unfortunately, many of the wait events added by this patch will fail

The sequence "configure; cd src/pl/plpython; make -j" failed due to
trying to compile plpython's .o files before the generated headers
finished building. (This is an important real-world case, since it's
the typical second step when building both plpython2 and plpython3.)
This happens because the submake-generated-headers target is not
placed in a way to make it a prerequisite to compiling the .o files.
Fix that.
Checking other uses of submake-generated-headers, I noted that the one

Historically, something like to_date('2009-06-40','YYYY-MM-DD') would
return '2009-07-10' because there was no prohibition on out-of-range

out that Oracle throws an error in such cases. Since these functions
are nominally Oracle-compatibility features, let's change that.
There's no particular restriction on year (modulo the fact that the
scanner may not believe that more than 4 digits are year digits,
a matter to be addressed separately if at all). But we now check month,
day, hour, minute, second, and fractional-second fields, as well as
day-of-year and second-of-day fields if those are used.
Currently, no checks are made on ISO-8601-style week numbers or day
numbers; it's not very clear what the appropriate rules would be there,
and they're probably so little used that it's not worth sweating over.

Pushing an upper-level restriction clause into an unflattened
subquery-in-FROM is okay when the subquery contains no SRFs in its
targetlist, or when it does but the SRFs are unreferenced by the clause
*and the clause is not volatile*. Otherwise, we're changing the number
of times the clause is evaluated, which is bad for volatile quals, and
possibly changing the result, since a volatile qual might succeed for some
SRF output rows and not others despite not referencing any of the changing
columns. (Indeed, if the clause is something like "random() > 0.5", the
user is probably expecting exactly that behavior.)
We had most of these restrictions down, but not the one about the upper
clause not being volatile. Fix that, and add a regression test to
illustrate the expected behavior.
Although this is definitely a bug, it doesn't seem like back-patch

or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't
Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead
to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the
ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not
seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)
I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are
obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.
I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but
those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended
up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this,
so why shouldn't we be?
When configured with --enable-tap-tests, "make install" will now install
the Perl support files for TAP testing where PGXS will find them.
This allows extensions to rely on $(prove_check) even when being built
out-of-tree. Back-patch to 9.4 where we first started to support TAP
testing, to reduce the number of cases extension makefiles need to
consider.

ExecInitCteScan supposed that it didn't have to do anything to the extra
tuplestore read pointer it gets from tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer.
However, it needs this read pointer to be positioned at the start of the
tuplestore, while tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer is actually defined as
cloning the current position of read pointer 0. In normal situations
that accidentally works because we initialize the whole plan tree at once,
before anything gets read. But it fails in an EvalPlanQual recheck, as
illustrated in bug #14328 from Dima Pavlov. To fix, just forcibly rewind
the pointer after tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. The cost of doing so is
negligible unless the tuplestore is already in TSS_READFILE state, which
wouldn't happen in normal cases. We could consider altering tuplestore's
API to make that case cheaper, but that would make for a more invasive
back-patch and it doesn't seem worth it.
This has been broken probably for as long as we've had CTEs, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

Add tests for consistent support of connection strings in frontend
programs as well as proper handling of unusual characters in database
and user names. These tests were developed for the issues of
CVE-2016-5424.
To allow testing of names with spaces, change the pg_regress
command-line options --create-role and --dbname to split their arguments
by comma only, not space or comma as before. Only commas were actually
used in existing uses.
