As we merge with upstream and by that keep refining the Postgres
planner, legacy planner is no longer a suitable name. This changes
all variations of the spelling (legacy planner, legacy optimizer,
legacy query optimizer etc) to say "Postgres" rather than "legacy".

This reverts the following commits:
commit 0ee987e64 - "Don't dispatch index creations too eagerly in ALTER TABLE."
commit 28dd0152 - "Enable alter table column with index (#6286)"

The motivation of commit 0ee987e64 is to stop eager dispatch of index creation
during ALTER TABLE, and instead perform a single dispatch. Doing so prevents
index name already exists errors when altering data types on indexed columns
such as:

    ALTER TABLE foo ALTER COLUMN test TYPE integer;
    ERROR:  relation "foo_test_key" already exists

Unfortunately, without eager dispatch of index creation the QEs can choose a
different name for a relation than was chosen on the QD. Eager dispatch was the
only mechanism we had to ensure a deterministic and consistent index name
between the QE and QD in some scenarios. In the absence of another mechanism we
must revert this commit.

This commit also rolls back commit 28dd0125 to enable altering data types on
indexed columns, which required commit 0ee987e64.

Currently exlusion constraints do not work correctly in MPP environment.
For example, if the exclusion constraint is on a column which is not the
table's distribution key, then it is possible to get wrong results.

Following statements should give 1 row because first tuple should
exclude the second.
```
CREATE TABLE t(a int, b int, EXCLUDE (b WITH =)) DISTIBUTED BY (a);
INSERT INTO t values (1, 1), (2, 1);
```

However, that is not currently the case if the distribution key hashes
to different segments. This commit removes exclusion constraints feature
entirely until there is a way to coordinate exclusion constriants
between the segments.

We used to call some node types different names in EXPLAIN output,
depending on whether the plan was generated by ORCA or the Postgres
planner. Also, a Bitmap Heap Scan used to be called differently, when the
table was an AO or AOCS table, but only in planner-generated plans. There
was some historical justification for this, because they used to
be different executor node types, but commit db516347 removed last such
differences.

Full list of renames:

Table Scan -> Seq Scan
Append-only Scan -> Seq Scan
Append-only Columnar Scan -> Seq Scan
Dynamic Table Scan -> Dynamic Seq Scan
Bitmap Table Scan -> Bitmap Heap Scan
Bitmap Append-Only Row-Oriented Scan -> Bitmap Heap Scan
Bitmap Append-Only Column-Oriented Scan -> Bitmap Heap Scan
Dynamic Bitmap Table Scan -> Dynamic Bitmap Heap Scan

As the comments in code explain, the simple union all pullup optimization
is problematic in GPDB. I don't think we have plans to "fix" it any time
soon.

We had changed this in GPDB, to print less parens. That's fine and dandy,
but it hardly seems worth it to carry a diff vs upstream for this. Which
format is better, is a matter of taste. The extra parens make some
expressions more clear, but OTOH, it's unnecessarily verbose for simple
expressions. Let's follow the upstream on this.

These changes were made to GPDB back in 2006, as part of backporting
to EXPLAIN-related patches from PostgreSQL 8.2. But I didn't see any
explanation for this particular change in output in that commit message.

It's nice to match upstream, to make merging easier. However, this won't
make much difference to that: almost all EXPLAIN plans in regression
tests are different from upstream anyway, because GPDB needs Motion nodes
for most queries. But every little helps.

When creating an ORCA plan for "INSERT ... (<col list>) VALUES (<values>)"
statement, the ORCA translator performed NULL checks for any columns not
listed in the column list. Nothing wrong with that per se, but we needed
to keep the error messages in sync, or we'd get regression test failures
caused by different messages. To simplify that, remove the check from
ORCA translator, and rely on the execution time check.

We bumped into this while working on the 9.3 merge, because 9.3 added
DETAIL to the error message in executor:

postgres=# create table notnulls (a text NOT NULL, b text NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into notnulls (a) values ('x');
ERROR:  null value in column "b" violates not-null constraint
postgres=# insert into notnulls (a,b) values ('x', NULL);
ERROR:  null value in column "b" violates not-null constraint  (seg2 127.0.0.1:40002 pid=26547)
DETAIL:  Failing row contains (x, null).

Doing this now will avoid that inconsistency in the merge.

One little difference with this is that EXPLAIN on an insert like above
now works, and you only get the error when you try to execute it. Before,
with ORCA, even EXPLAIN would throw the error.

This reverts commit 4750e1b6.

This is the final batch of commits from PostgreSQL 9.2 development,
up to the point where the REL9_2_STABLE branch was created, and 9.3
development started on the PostgreSQL master branch.

Notable upstream changes:

* Index-only scan was included in the batch of upstream commits. It
  allows queries to retrieve data only from indexes, avoiding heap access.

* Group commit was added to work effectively under heavy load. Previously,
  batching of commits became ineffective as the write workload increased,
  because of internal lock contention.

* A new fast-path lock mechanism was added to reduce the overhead of
  taking and releasing certain types of locks which are taken and released
  very frequently but rarely conflict.

* The new "parameterized path" mechanism was added. It allows inner index
  scans to use values from relations that are more than one join level up
  from the scan. This can greatly improve performance in situations where
  semantic restrictions (such as outer joins) limit the allowed join orderings.

* SP-GiST (Space-Partitioned GiST) index access method was added to support
  unbalanced partitioned search structures. For suitable problems, SP-GiST can
  be faster than GiST in both index build time and search time.

* Checkpoints now are performed by a dedicated background process. Formerly
  the background writer did both dirty-page writing and checkpointing. Separating
  this into two processes allows each goal to be accomplished more predictably.

* Custom plan was supported for specific parameter values even when using
  prepared statements.

* API for FDW was improved to provide multiple access "paths" for their tables,
  allowing more flexibility in join planning.

* Security_barrier option was added for views to prevents optimizations that
  might allow view-protected data to be exposed to users.

* Range data type was added to store a lower and upper bound belonging to its
  base data type.

* CTAS (CREATE TABLE AS/SELECT INTO) is now treated as utility statement. The
  SELECT query is planned during the execution of the utility. To conform to
  this change, GPDB executes the utility statement only on QD and dispatches
  the plan of the SELECT query to QEs.

One of the things canonicalize_qual() does is to remove constant-NULL
subexpressions of top-level AND/OR clauses.  It does that on the assumption
that what it's given is a top-level WHERE clause, so that NULL can be
treated like FALSE.  Although this is documented down inside a subroutine
of canonicalize_qual(), it wasn't mentioned in the documentation of that
function itself, and some callers hadn't gotten that memo.

Notably, commit d007a950 caused get_relation_constraints() to apply
canonicalize_qual() to CHECK constraints.  That allowed constraint
exclusion to misoptimize situations in which a CHECK constraint had a
provably-NULL subclause, as seen in the regression test case added here,
in which a child table that should be scanned is not.  (Although this
thinko is ancient, the test case doesn't fail before 9.2, for reasons
I've not bothered to track down in detail.  There may be related cases
that do fail before that.)

More recently, commit f0e44751 added an independent bug by applying
canonicalize_qual() to index expressions, which is even sillier since
those might not even be boolean.  If they are, though, I think this
could lead to making incorrect index entries for affected index
expressions in v10.  I haven't attempted to prove that though.

To fix, add an "is_check" parameter to canonicalize_qual() to specify
whether it should assume WHERE or CHECK semantics, and make it perform
NULL-elimination accordingly.  Adjust the callers to apply the right
semantics, or remove the call entirely in cases where it's not known
that the expression has one or the other semantics.  I also removed
the call in some cases involving partition expressions, where it should
be a no-op because such expressions should be canonical already ...
and was a no-op, independently of whether it could in principle have
done something, because it was being handed the qual in implicit-AND
format which isn't what it expects.  In HEAD, add an Assert to catch
that type of mistake in future.

This represents an API break for external callers of canonicalize_qual().
While that's intentional in HEAD to make such callers think about which
case applies to them, it seems like something we probably wouldn't be
thanked for in released branches.  Hence, in released branches, the
extra parameter is added to a new function canonicalize_qual_ext(),
and canonicalize_qual() is a wrapper that retains its old behavior.

Patch by me with suggestions from Dean Rasheed.  Back-patch to all
supported branches.

These were added in GPDB a long time ago, probably before gpdiff.pl was
introduced to mask row order differences in regression test output. But
now that gpdiff.pl can do that, these are unnecessary. Revert to match
the upstream more closely.

This includes updates to the 'rules' and 'inherit' tests, although they
are disabled and still doesn't pass after these changes.

Inheritance operations must treat the OID column, if any, much like
regular user columns.  But MergeAttributesIntoExisting() neglected to
do that, leading to weird results after a table with OIDs is associated
to a parent with OIDs via ALTER TABLE ... INHERIT.

It's not good for an inherited child constraint to be marked connoinherit;
that would result in the constraint not propagating to grandchild tables,
if any are created later.  The code mostly prevented this from happening
but there was one case that was missed.

This is somewhat related to commit e55a946a, which also tightened checks
on constraint merging.  Hence, back-patch to 9.2 like that one.  This isn't
so much because there's a concrete feature-related reason to stop there,
as to avoid having more distinct behaviors than we have to in this area.

Discussion: <b28ee774-7009-313d-dd55-5bdd81242c41@lab.ntt.co.jp>

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.

Formerly, this function would always return "true" for an appendrel child
relation, because it would think that the appendrel parent was a potential
join target for the child.  In principle that should only lead to some
inefficiency in planning, but fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich disclosed
that it could lead to "could not find pathkey item to sort" planner errors
in odd corner cases.  Specifically, we would think that all columns of a
child table's multicolumn index were interesting pathkeys, causing us to
generate a MergeAppend path that sorts by all the columns.  However, if any
of those columns weren't actually used above the level of the appendrel,
they would not get added to that rel's targetlist, which would result in
being unable to resolve the MergeAppend's sort keys against its targetlist
during createplan.c.

Backpatch to 9.3.  In older versions, columns of an appendrel get added
to its targetlist even if they're not mentioned above the scan level,
so that the failure doesn't occur.  It might be worth back-patching this
fix to older versions anyway, but I'll refrain for the moment.

In psql \d+, display oids only when they exist, and display replication
identity only when it is non-default.  Also document the defaults for
replication identity for system and non-system tables.  Update
regression output.

INDEX is already displayed on the index, and we now exclude pg_catalog.
DEFAULT is not displayed.

Display "replica identity" only for \d plus mode, exclude system schema
objects, and display all possible values, not just non-default,
non-index ones.

Fix an oversight in commit b3aaf908: we do
indeed need to process the planner's append_rel_list when copying RTE
subqueries, because if any of them were flattenable UNION ALL subqueries,
the append_rel_list shows which subquery RTEs were pulled up out of which
other ones.  Without this, UNION ALL subqueries aren't correctly inserted
into the update plans for inheritance child tables after the first one,
typically resulting in no update happening for those child table(s).
Per report from Victor Yegorov.

Experimentation with this case also exposed a fault in commit
a7b96538: if an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
was proven totally dummy by constraint exclusion, we might arrive at
add_rtes_to_flat_rtable with root->simple_rel_array being NULL.  This
should be interpreted as not having any RelOptInfos.  I chose to code
the guard as a check against simple_rel_array_size, so as to also
provide some protection against indexing off the end of the array.

Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was added.

Before jamming a desired targetlist into a plan node, one really ought to
make sure the plan node can handle projections, and insert a buffering
Result plan node if not.  planagg.c forgot to do this, which is a hangover
from the days when it only dealt with IndexScan plan types.  MergeAppend
doesn't project though, not to mention that it gets unhappy if you remove
its possibly-resjunk sort columns.  The code accidentally failed to fail
for cases in which the min/max argument was a simple Var, because the new
targetlist would be equivalent to the original "flat" tlist anyway.
For any more complex case, it's been broken since 9.1 where we introduced
the ability to optimize min/max using MergeAppend, as reported by Raphael
Bauduin.  Fix by duplicating the logic from grouping_planner that decides
whether we need a Result node.

In 9.2 and 9.1, this requires back-porting the tlist_same_exprs() function
introduced in commit 4387cf95, else we'd
uselessly add a Result node in cases that worked before.  It's rather
tempting to back-patch that whole commit so that we can avoid extra Result
nodes in mainline cases too; but I'll refrain, since that code hasn't
really seen all that much field testing yet.

The previous version of the query disregarded the result of the MergeAppend
instead of checking its results.

Andres Freund

Per Andres Freund.

The planner sometimes inserts Result nodes to perform column projections
(ie, arbitrary scalar calculations) above plan nodes that lack projection
logic of their own.  However, we did that even if the lower plan node was
in fact producing the required column set already; which is a pretty common
case given the popularity of "SELECT * FROM ...".  Measurements show that
the useless plan node adds non-negligible overhead, especially when there
are many columns in the result.  So add a check to avoid inserting a Result
node unless there's something useful for it to do.

There are a couple of remaining places where unnecessary Result nodes
could get inserted, but they are (a) much less performance-critical,
and (b) coded in such a way that it's hard to avoid inserting a Result,
because the desired tlist is changed on-the-fly in subsequent logic.
We'll leave those alone for now.

Kyotaro Horiguchi; reviewed and further hacked on by Amit Kapila and
Tom Lane.

The previous scheme had bugs in some corner cases involving tables that had
been renamed since a view was made.  This could result in dumped views that
failed to reload or reloaded incorrectly, as seen in bug #7553 from Lloyd
Albin, as well as in some pgsql-hackers discussion back in January.  Also,
its behavior for printing EXPLAIN plans was sometimes confusing because of
willingness to use the same alias for multiple RTEs (it was Ashutosh
Bapat's complaint about that aspect that started the January thread).

To fix, ensure that each RTE in the query has a unique unqualified alias,
by modifying the alias if necessary (we add "_" and digits as needed to
create a non-conflicting name).  Then we can just print its variables with
that alias, avoiding the confusing and bug-prone scheme of sometimes
schema-qualifying variable names.  In EXPLAIN, it proves to be expedient to
take the further step of only assigning such aliases to RTEs that are
actually referenced in the query, since the planner has a habit of
generating extra RTEs with the same alias in situations such as
inheritance-tree expansion.

Although this fixes a bug of very long standing, I'm hesitant to back-patch
such a noticeable behavioral change.  My experiments while creating a
regression test convinced me that actually incorrect output (as opposed to
confusing output) occurs only in very narrow cases, which is backed up by
the lack of previous complaints from the field.  So we may be better off
living with it in released branches; and in any case it'd be smart to let
this ripen awhile in HEAD before we consider back-patching it.

The initially implemented syntax, "CHECK NO INHERIT (expr)" was not
deemed very good, so switch to "CHECK (expr) NO INHERIT" instead.  This
way it looks similar to SQL-standards compliant constraint attribute.

Backport to 9.2 where the new syntax and feature was introduced.

Per discussion.

Commit f5bcd398 introduced a test using
a table named "circles" in inherit.sql.  Unfortunately, the concurrently
executed constraints test was already using that table name, so the
parallel regression tests would sometimes fail.  Rename table to dodge
the problem.  Per buildfarm.

The code was setting it true for other constraints, which is
bogus.  Doing so caused bogus catalog entries for such constraints, and
in particular caused an error to be raised when trying to drop a
constraint of types other than CHECK from a table that has children,
such as reported in bug #6712.

In 9.2, additionally ignore connoinherit=true for other constraint
types, to avoid having to force initdb; existing databases might already
contain bogus catalog entries.

Includes a catversion bump (in HEAD only).

Bug report from Miroslav Šulc
Analysis from Amit Kapila and Noah Misch; Amit also contributed the patch.

Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers, these messages are too
chatty for most users.

The original syntax wasn't universally loved, and it didn't allow its
usage in CREATE TABLE, only ALTER TABLE.  It now works everywhere, and
it also allows using ALTER TABLE ONLY to add an uninherited CHECK
constraint, per discussion.

The pg_constraint column has accordingly been renamed connoinherit.

This commit partly reverts some of the changes in
61d81bd2, particularly some pg_dump and
psql bits, because now pg_get_constraintdef includes the necessary NO
INHERIT within the constraint definition.

Some tweaks by me

This patch adjusts the treatment of parameterized paths so that all paths
with the same parameterization (same set of required outer rels) for the
same relation will have the same rowcount estimate.  We cache the rowcount
estimates to ensure that property, and hopefully save a few cycles too.
Doing this makes it practical for add_path_precheck to operate without
a rowcount estimate: it need only assume that paths with different
parameterizations never dominate each other, which is close enough to
true anyway for coarse filtering, because normally a more-parameterized
path should yield fewer rows thanks to having more join clauses to apply.

In add_path, we do the full nine yards of comparing rowcount estimates
along with everything else, so that we can discard parameterized paths that
don't actually have an advantage.  This fixes some issues I'd found with
add_path rejecting parameterized paths on the grounds that they were more
expensive than not-parameterized ones, even though they yielded many fewer
rows and hence would be cheaper once subsequent joining was considered.

To make the same-rowcounts assumption valid, we have to require that any
parameterized path enforce *all* join clauses that could be obtained from
the particular set of outer rels, even if not all of them are useful for
indexing.  This is required at both base scans and joins.  It's a good
thing anyway since the net impact is that join quals are checked at the
lowest practical level in the join tree.  Hence, discard the original
rather ad-hoc mechanism for choosing parameterization joinquals, and build
a better one that has a more principled rule for when clauses can be moved.
The original rule was actually buggy anyway for lack of knowledge about
which relations are part of an outer join's outer side; getting this right
requires adding an outer_relids field to RestrictInfo.

In commit 57664ed2 I tried to fix a bug
reported by Teodor Sigaev by making non-simple-Var output columns distinct
(by wrapping their expressions with dummy PlaceHolderVar nodes).  This did
not work too well.  Commit b28ffd0f fixed
some ensuing problems with matching to child indexes, but per a recent
report from Claus Stadler, constraint exclusion of UNION ALL subqueries was
still broken, because constant-simplification didn't handle the injected
PlaceHolderVars well either.  On reflection, the original patch was quite
misguided: there is no reason to expect that EquivalenceClass child members
will be distinct.  So instead of trying to make them so, we should ensure
that we can cope with the situation when they're not.

Accordingly, this patch reverts the code changes in the above-mentioned
commits (though the regression test cases they added stay).  Instead, I've
added assorted defenses to make sure that duplicate EC child members don't
cause any problems.  Teodor's original problem ("MergeAppend child's
targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend") is addressed more directly by
revising prepare_sort_from_pathkeys to let the parent MergeAppend's sort
list guide creation of each child's sort list.

In passing, get rid of add_sort_column; as far as I can tell, testing for
duplicate sort keys at this stage is dead code.  Certainly it doesn't
trigger often enough to be worth expending cycles on in ordinary queries.
And keeping the test would've greatly complicated the new logic in
prepare_sort_from_pathkeys, because comparing pathkey list entries against
a previous output array requires that we not skip any entries in the list.

Back-patch to 9.1, like the previous patches.  The only known issue in
this area that wasn't caused by the ill-advised previous patches was the
MergeAppend planning failure, which of course is not relevant before 9.1.
It's possible that we need some of the new defenses against duplicate child
EC entries in older branches, but until there's some clear evidence of that
I'm going to refrain from back-patching further.

Per buildfarm, we sometimes get row-ordering variations in the output.
This also makes this query look more like numerous other ones in the same
test file.

The original implementation of this interpreted it as a kind of
"inheritance" facility and named all the internal structures
accordingly.  This turned out to be very confusing, because it has
nothing to do with the INHERITS feature.  So rename all the internal
parser infrastructure, update the comments, adjust the error messages,
and split up the regression tests.

This makes them enforceable only on the parent table, not on children
tables.  This is useful in various situations, per discussion involving
people bitten by the restrictive behavior introduced in 8.4.

it was possible for that function to add identical expressions to different
EquivalenceClasses, which logically should imply merging such ECs, which
would be wrong; or to improperly add a constant to an EquivalenceClass,
drastically changing its behavior.  Per report from Teodor Sigaev.

The only currently known consequence of this bug is "MergeAppend child's
targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend" planner failures in 9.1 and later.
I am suspicious that there may be other failure modes that could affect
older release branches; but in the absence of any hard evidence, I'll
refrain from back-patching further than 9.1.
