Support parallel btree index builds.
To make this work, tuplesort.c and logtape.c must also support

it to the particular case of parallel btree index builds. Testing

Refactor code for partition bound searching

Save a few bytes by removing useless last argument to SearchCatCacheList.
There's never any value in giving a fully specified cache key to

key arguments is one less than the supported number of key columns.
We might as well remove the useless extra argument and save some few

I believe the reason it was coded like this is that originally, callers
had to write out all the dummy arguments in each call, and so it seemed
less confusing if SearchCatCache and SearchCatCacheList took the same

Avoid misleading psql password prompt when username is multiply specified.
When a password is needed, cases such as
psql -d "postgresql://alice@localhost/testdb" -U bob
would incorrectly prompt for "Password for user bob: ", when actually the
connection will be attempted with username alice. The priority order of
which name to use isn't that important here, but the misleading prompt is.
When we are prompting for a password after initial connection failure,
we can fix this reliably by looking at PQuser(conn) to see how libpq
interpreted the connection arguments. But when we're doing a forced
password prompt because of a -W switch, we can't use that solution.
Fortunately, because the main use of -W is for noninteractive situations,
it's less critical to produce a helpful prompt in such cases. I made
the startup prompt for -W just say "Password: " all the time, rather
than expending extra code on trying to identify which username to use.
In the case of a \c command (after -W has been given), there's already
logic in do_connect that determines whether the "dbname" is a connstring
or URI, so we can avoid lobotomizing the prompt except in cases that
are actually dubious. (We could do similarly in startup.c if anyone
complains, but for now it seems not worthwhile, especially since that
would still be only a partial solution.)

Avoid crash during EvalPlanQual recheck of an inner indexscan.
Commit 09529a70b changed nodeIndexscan.c and nodeIndexonlyscan.c to
postpone initialization of the indexscan proper until the first tuple
fetch. It overlooked the question of mark/restore behavior, which means
that if some caller attempts to mark the scan before the first tuple fetch,
you get a null pointer dereference.
The only existing user of mark/restore is nodeMergejoin.c, which (somewhat
accidentally) will never attempt to set a mark before the first inner tuple
unless the inner child node is a Material node. Hence the case can't arise
normally, so it seems sufficient to document the assumption at both ends.
However, during an EvalPlanQual recheck, ExecScanFetch doesn't call
IndexNext but just returns the jammed-in test tuple. Therefore, if we're
doing a recheck in a plan tree with a mergejoin with inner indexscan,
it's possible to reach ExecIndexMarkPos with iss_ScanDesc still null,
as reported by Guo Xiang Tan in bug #15032.
Really, when there's a test tuple supplied during an EPQ recheck, touching
the index at all is the wrong thing: rather, the behavior of mark/restore
ought to amount to saving and restoring the es_epqScanDone flag. We can
avoid finding a place to actually save the flag, for the moment, because
given the assumption that no caller will set a mark before fetching a
tuple, es_epqScanDone must always be set by the time we try to mark.
So the actual behavior change required is just to not reach the index
access if a test tuple is supplied.
The set of plan node types that need to consider this issue are those
that support EPQ test tuples (i.e., call ExecScan()) and also support
mark/restore; which is to say, IndexScan, IndexOnlyScan, and perhaps
CustomScan. It's tempting to try to fix the problem in one place by
teaching ExecMarkPos() itself about EPQ; but ExecMarkPos supports some
plan types that aren't Scans, and also it seems risky to make assumptions
about what a CustomScan wants to do here. Also, the most likely future
change here is to decide that we do need to support marks placed before
the first tuple, which would require additional work in IndexScan and
IndexOnlyScan in any case. Hence, fix the EPQ issue in nodeIndexscan.c
and nodeIndexonlyscan.c, accepting the small amount of code duplicated
thereby, and leave it to CustomScan providers to fix this bug if they
have it.
Back-patch to v10 where commit 09529a70b came in. In earlier branches,
the index_markpos() call is a waste of cycles when EPQ is active, but
no more than that, so it doesn't seem appropriate to back-patch further.

Avoid unnecessary use of pg_strcasecmp for already-downcased identifiers.
We have a lot of code in which option names, which from the user's
viewpoint are logically keywords, are passed through the grammar as plain
identifiers, and then matched to string literals during command execution.
This approach avoids making words into lexer keywords unnecessarily. Some
places matched these strings using plain strcmp, some using pg_strcasecmp.
But the latter should be unnecessary since identifiers would have been
downcased on their way through the parser. Aside from any efficiency
concerns (probably not a big factor), the lack of consistency in this area
creates a hazard of subtle bugs due to different places coming to different
conclusions about whether two option names are the same or different.
Hence, standardize on using strcmp() to match any option names that are
expected to have been fed through the parser.
This does create a user-visible behavioral change, which is that while
formerly all of these would work:
alter table foo set (fillfactor = 50);
alter table foo set (FillFactor = 50);
alter table foo set ("fillfactor" = 50);
alter table foo set ("FillFactor" = 50);
now the last case will fail because that double-quoted identifier is
different from the others. However, none of our documentation says that
you can use a quoted identifier in such contexts at all, and we should
discourage doing so since it would break if we ever decide to parse such
constructs as true lexer keywords rather than poor man's substitutes.
So this shouldn't create a significant compatibility issue for users.

Improve pg_dump's handling of "special" built-in objects.
We had some pretty ad-hoc handling of the public schema and the plpgsql

Up to now, by default pg_dump would emit a CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS
command as well as a COMMENT command for plpgsql. The usefulness of the
former is questionable, and the latter caused annoying errors in
non-superuser dump/restore scenarios. Let's instead install a rule that
built-in extensions (identified by having low-numbered OIDs) are not to be
dumped. We were doing it that way already in binary-upgrade mode, so this
just makes regular mode behave the same. It remains true that if someone
has installed a non-default ACL on the plpgsql language, that will get
dumped thanks to the pg_init_privs mechanism. This is more consistent with
the handling of built-in objects of other kinds.
Also, change the very ad-hoc mechanism that was used to avoid dumping
creation and comment commands for the public schema. Instead of hardwiring
a test in _printTocEntry(), make use of the DUMP_COMPONENT_ infrastructure
to mark that schema up-front about what we want to do with it. This has
the visible effect that the public schema won't be mentioned in the output
at all, except for updating its ACL if it has a non-default ACL.
Previously, while it was normally not mentioned, --clean mode would drop
and recreate it, again causing headaches for non-superuser usage. This
change likewise makes the public schema less special and more like other
built-in objects.

Teach reparameterize_path() to handle AppendPaths.
If we're inside a lateral subquery, there may be no unparameterized paths
for a particular child relation of an appendrel, in which case we *must*

relation, else the planner will fail with "could not devise a query plan
for the given query". This means that there are situations where we'd
better be able to reparameterize at least one path for each child.
This calls into question the assumption in reparameterize_path() that
it can just punt if it feels like it. However, the only case that is
known broken right now is where the child is itself an appendrel so that
all its paths are AppendPaths. (I think possibly I disregarded that in
the original coding on the theory that nested appendrels would get folded

ErrorResponse sent by the worker, or "lost connection to parallel
worker" if it exited without sending one. To cover the case where
the worker never starts up in the first place or exits before
attaching to the error queue, the ParallelContext now keeps track
of which workers have sent at least one message via the error
queue. A worker which sends no messages by the time the parallel
operation finishes will be checked to see whether it exited before
attaching to the error queue; if so, a new error message, "parallel
worker failed to initialize", will be reported. If not, we'll
continue to wait until it either starts up and exits cleanly, starts
up and exits uncleanly, or fails to start, and then take the
appropriate action.

In pg_dump, force reconnection after issuing ALTER DATABASE SET command(s).
The folly of not doing this was exposed by the buildfarm: in some cases,
the GUC settings applied through ALTER DATABASE SET may be essential to
interpreting the reloaded data correctly. Another argument why we can't
really get away with the scheme proposed in commit b3f840120 is that it
cannot work for parallel restore: even if the parent process manages to
hang onto the previous GUC state, worker processes would see the state
post-ALTER-DATABASE. (Perhaps we could have dodged that bullet by
delaying DATABASE PROPERTIES restoration to the end of the run, but
that does nothing for the data semantics problem.)
This leaves us with no solution for the default_transaction_read_only issue
that commit 4bd371f6f intended to work around, other than "you gotta remove
such settings before dumping/upgrading". However, in view of the fact that
parallel restore broke that hack years ago and no one has noticed, it's
fair to question how many people care. I'm unexcited about adding a large
dollop of new complexity to handle that corner case.
This would be a one-liner fix, except it turns out that ReconnectToServer
tries to optimize away "redundant" reconnections. While that may have been
valuable when coded, a quick survey of current callers shows that there are
no cases where that's actually useful, so just remove that check. While at
it, remove the function's useless return value.

Move handling of database properties from pg_dumpall into pg_dump.
This patch rearranges the division of labor between pg_dump and pg_dumpall
so that pg_dump itself handles all properties attached to a single
database. Notably, a database's ACL (GRANT/REVOKE status) and local GUC
settings established by ALTER DATABASE SET and ALTER ROLE IN DATABASE SET
can be dumped and restored by pg_dump. This is a long-requested
improvement.
"pg_dumpall -g" will now produce only role- and tablespace-related output,
nothing about individual databases. The total output of a regular
pg_dumpall run remains the same.
pg_dump (or pg_restore) will restore database-level properties only when
creating the target database with --create. This applies not only to
ACLs and GUCs but to the other database properties it already handled,
that is database comments and security labels. This is more consistent
and useful, but does represent an incompatibility in the behavior seen
without --create.
(This change makes the proposed patch to have pg_dump use "COMMENT ON
DATABASE CURRENT_DATABASE" unnecessary, since there is no case where
the command is issued that we won't know the true name of the database.
We might still want that patch as a feature in its own right, but pg_dump
no longer needs it.)
pg_dumpall with --clean will now drop and recreate the "postgres" and
"template1" databases in the target cluster, allowing their locale and
encoding settings to be changed if necessary, and providing a cleaner
way to set nondefault tablespaces for them than we had before. This
means that such a script must now always be started in the "postgres"
database; the order of drops and reconnects will not work otherwise.
Without --clean, the script will not adjust any database-level properties
of those two databases (including their comments, ACLs, and security
labels, which it formerly would try to set).
Another minor incompatibility is that the CREATE DATABASE commands in a
pg_dumpall script will now always specify locale and encoding settings.
Formerly those would be omitted if they matched the cluster's default.
While that behavior had some usefulness in some migration scenarios,
it also posed a significant hazard of unwanted locale/encoding changes.
To migrate to another locale/encoding, it's now necessary to use pg_dump
without --create to restore into a database with the desired settings.
Commit 4bd371f6f's hack to emit "SET default_transaction_read_only = off"
is gone: we now dodge that problem by the expedient of not issuing ALTER
DATABASE SET commands until after reconnecting to the target database.
Therefore, such settings won't apply during the restore session.
In passing, improve some shaky grammar in the docs, and add a note pointing
out that pg_dumpall's output can't be expected to load without any errors.
(Someday we might want to fix that, but this is not that patch.)

Reorder code in pg_dump to dump comments etc in a uniform order.
Most of the code in pg_dump dumps an object's comment, security label,

object's main TOC entry, and at least dumpComment's API spec says this
isn't optional. dumpDatabase was significantly violating that when
in binary-upgrade mode, by inserting totally unrelated stuff between.

inconsistent. Reorder code so everybody does it the same.

such auxiliary entries to be adjacent to their main entry. But for now

Make pg_dump's ACL, sec label, and comment entries reliably identifiable.
_tocEntryRequired() expects that it can identify ACL, SECURITY LABEL,
and COMMENT TOC entries that are for large objects by seeing whether
the tag for them starts with "LARGE OBJECT ". While that works fine
for actual large objects, which are indeed tagged that way, it's
subject to false positives unless every such entry's tag starts with an
appropriate type ID. And in fact it does not work for ACLs, because
up to now we customarily tagged those entries with just the bare name
of the object. This means that an ACL for an object named
"LARGE OBJECT something" would be misclassified as data not schema,
with undesirable results in a schema-only or data-only dump ---
although pg_upgrade seems unaffected, due to the special case for
binary-upgrade mode further down in _tocEntryRequired().
We can fix this by changing all the dumpACL calls to use the label
strings already in use for comments and security labels, which do
follow the convention of starting with an object type indicator.
Well, mostly they follow it. dumpDatabase() got it wrong, using
just the bare database name for those purposes, so that a database
named "LARGE OBJECT something" would similarly be subject to having
its comment or security label dropped or included when not wanted.
Bring that into line too. (Note that up to now, database ACLs have
not been processed by pg_dump, so that this issue doesn't affect them.)
_tocEntryRequired() itself is not free of fault: it was overly liberal
about matching object tags to "LARGE OBJECT " in binary-upgrade mode.
This looks like it is probably harmless because there would be no data
component to strip anyway in that mode, but at best it's trouble
waiting to happen, so tighten that up too.
The possible misclassification of SECURITY LABEL entries for databases is
in principle a security problem, but the opportunities for actual exploits
seem too narrow to be interesting. The other cases seem like just bugs,
since an object owner can change its ACL or comment for himself, he needn't
try to trick someone else into doing it by choosing a strange name.
This has been broken since per-large-object TOC entries were introduced
in 9.0, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Transaction control in PL procedures
In each of the supplied procedural languages (PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl,
PL/Python, PL/Tcl), add language-specific commit and rollback
functions/commands to control transactions in procedures in that
language. Add similar underlying functions to SPI. Some additional
cleanup so that transaction commit or abort doesn't blow away data
structures still used by the procedure call. Add execution context
tracking to CALL and DO statements so that transaction control commands
can only be issued in top-level procedure and block calls, not function
calls or other procedure or block calls.
- SPI
Add a new function SPI_connect_ext() that is like SPI_connect() but
allows passing option flags. The only option flag right now is
SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC. A nonatomic SPI connection can execute transaction
control commands, otherwise it's not allowed. This is meant to be
passed down from CALL and DO statements which themselves know in which
context they are called. A nonatomic SPI connection uses different
memory management. A normal SPI connection allocates its memory in
TopTransactionContext. For nonatomic connections we use PortalContext
instead. As the comment in SPI_connect_ext() (previously SPI_connect())
indicates, one could potentially use PortalContext in all cases, but it
seems safest to leave the existing uses alone, because this stuff is
complicated enough already.
SPI also gets new functions SPI_start_transaction(), SPI_commit(), and
SPI_rollback(), which can be used by PLs to implement their transaction
control logic.
- portalmem.c
Some adjustments were made in the code that cleans up portals at
transaction abort. The portal code could already handle a command
*committing* a transaction and continuing (e.g., VACUUM), but it was not
quite prepared for a command *aborting* a transaction and continuing.
In AtAbort_Portals(), remove the code that marks an active portal as
failed. As the comment there already predicted, this doesn't work if
the running command wants to keep running after transaction abort. And
it's actually not necessary, because pquery.c is careful to run all
portal code in a PG_TRY block and explicitly runs MarkPortalFailed() if
there is an exception. So the code in AtAbort_Portals() is never used
anyway.
In AtAbort_Portals() and AtCleanup_Portals(), we need to be careful not
to clean up active portals too much. This mirrors similar code in
PreCommit_Portals().

Local partitioned indexes

also.
As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some
existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of
creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become
attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it,
and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first.
To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands
CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table>
