43 hoursRevisit cosmetics of "For inplace update, send nontransactional invalidations."Noah Misch
This removes a never-used CacheInvalidateHeapTupleInplace() parameter. It adds README content about inplace update visibility in logical decoding. It rewrites other comments. Back-patch to v18, where commit 243e9b40f1b2dd09d6e5bf91ebf6e822a2cd3704 first appeared. Since this removes a CacheInvalidateHeapTupleInplace() parameter, expect a v18 ".abi-compliance-history" edit to follow. PGXN contains no calls to that function.

3 daysAdd retry logic to pg_sync_replication_slots().Amit Kapila
Previously, pg_sync_replication_slots() would finish without synchronizing slots that didn't meet requirements, rather than failing outright. This could leave some failover slots unsynchronized if required catalog rows or WAL segments were missing or at risk of removal, while the standby continued removing needed data. To address this, the function now waits for the primary slot to advance to a position where all required data is available on the standby before completing synchronization. It retries cyclically until all failover slots that existed on the primary at the start of the call are synchronized. Slots created after the function begins are not included. If the standby is promoted during this wait, the function exits gracefully and the temporary slots will be removed.

6 daysEnhance slot synchronization API to respect promotion signal.Amit Kapila
Previously, during a promotion, only the slot synchronization worker was signaled to shut down. The backend executing slot synchronization via the pg_sync_replication_slots() SQL function was not signaled, allowing it to complete its synchronization cycle before exiting. An upcoming patch improves pg_sync_replication_slots() to wait until replication slots are fully persisted before finishing. This behaviour requires the backend to exit promptly if a promotion occurs. This patch ensures that, during promotion, a signal is also sent to the backend running pg_sync_replication_slots(), allowing it to be interrupted and exit immediately.

8 daysFix LOCK_TIMEOUT handling in slotsync worker.Amit Kapila
Previously, the slotsync worker relied on SIGINT for graceful shutdown during promotion. However, SIGINT is also used by the LOCK_TIMEOUT handler to cancel queries. Since the slotsync worker can lock catalog tables while parsing libpq tuples, this overlap caused it to ignore LOCK_TIMEOUT signals and potentially wait indefinitely on locks. This patch replaces the slotsync worker's SIGINT handler with StatementCancelHandler to correctly process query-cancel interrupts. Additionally, the startup process now uses SIGUSR1 to signal the slotsync worker to stop during promotion. The worker exits after detecting that the shared memory flag stopSignaled is set.

2025-11-06Fix few issues in commit 5509055d69.Amit Kapila
Test failure on buildfarm member prion: The test failed due to an unexpected LOCATION: line appearing between the WARNING and ERROR messages. This occurred because the prion machine uses log_error_verbosity = verbose, which includes additional context in error messages. The test was originally checking for both WARNING and ERROR messages in sequence sync, but the extra LOCATION: line disrupted this pattern. To make the test robust across different verbosity settings, it now only checks for the presence of the WARNING message after the test, which is sufficient to validate the intended behavior. Failure to sync sequences with quoted names: The previous implementation did not correctly quote sequence names when querying remote information, leading to failures when quoted sequence names were used. This fix ensures that sequence names are properly quoted during remote queries, allowing sequences with quoted identifiers to be synced correctly.

2025-11-05Add sequence synchronization for logical replication.Amit Kapila
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.

ADD PUBLICATION ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... DROP PUBLICATION ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION These commands will perform the following actions: Add newly published sequences that are not yet part of the subscription. Remove sequences that are no longer included in the publication. This ensures that sequence replication remains aligned with the current state of the publication on the publisher side.

2025-10-22Avoid assuming that time_t can fit in an int.Tom Lane
We had several places that used cast-to-unsigned-int as a substitute for properly checking for overflow. Coverity has started objecting to that practice as likely introducing Y2038 bugs. An extra comparison is surely not much compared to the cost of time(NULL), nor is this coding practice particularly readable. Let's do it honestly, with explicit logic covering the cases of first-time-through and clock-went-backwards. I don't feel a need to back-patch though: our released versions will be out of support long before 2038, and besides which I think the code would accidentally work anyway for another 70 years or so.
2025-10-21Use CompactAttribute more often, when possibleDavid Rowley
5983a4cff added CompactAttribute for storing commonly used fields from FormData_pg_attribute. 5983a4cff didn't go to the trouble of adjusting every location where we can use CompactAttribute rather than FormData_pg_attribute, so here we change the remaining ones. There are some locations where I've left the code using FormData_pg_attribute. These are mostly in the ALTER TABLE code. Using CompactAttribute here seems more risky as often the TupleDesc is being changed and those changes may not have been flushed to the CompactAttribute yet. I've also left record_recv(), record_send(), record_cmp(), record_eq() and record_image_eq() alone as it's not clear to me that accessing the CompactAttribute is a win here due to the FormData_pg_attribute still having to be accessed for most cases. Switching the relevant parts to use CompactAttribute would result in having to access both for common cases. Careful benchmarking may reveal that something can be done to make this better, but in absence of that, the safer option is to leave these alone. In ReorderBufferToastReplace(), there was a check to skip attnums < 0 while looping over the TupleDesc. Doing this is redundant since TupleDescs don't store < 0 attnums. Removing that code allows us to move to using CompactAttribute. The change in validateDomainCheckConstraint() just moves fetching the FormData_pg_attribute into the ERROR path, which is cold due to calling errstart_cold() and results in code being moved out of the common path.

This enables multiple processes to coordinate replication using the same origin when using SQL-level replication functions.

2025-09-12Avoid unexpected changes of CurrentResourceOwner and CurrentMemoryContextÁlvaro Herrera
Users of logical decoding can encounter an unexpected change of CurrentResourceOwner and CurrentMemoryContext. The problem is that, unlike other call sites of RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction(), in reorderbuffer.c we fail to restore the original values of these global variables after being clobbered by subtransaction abort. This patch saves the values prior to the call and restores them eventually. In addition, logical.c and logicalfuncs.c had a hack to restore resource owner, presumably because of lack of this restore. Remove that. Instead, because the test coverage here is not very consistent, add an Assert() to ensure that the resowner is kept identical; this would make it easy to detect other cases of bugs were we fail to restore resowner properly. This could be removed later. This is arguably an old bug, but there appears to be no reason to backpatch it and it's risky to do so, so refrain for now.

2025-09-10Replace callers of dynahash.h's my_log() by equivalent in pg_bitutils.hMichael Paquier
All the calls replaced by this commit use 4-byte integers for their variables used in input of my_log2(). Hence, the limit against too-large inputs does not really apply. Thresholds are also applied, as of: - In nodeAgg.c, the number of partitions is limited by HASHAGG_MAX_PARTITIONS. - In nodeHash.c, ExecChooseHashTableSize() caps its maximum number of buckets based on HashJoinTuple and palloc() allocation limit. - In worker.c, the number of subxacts tracked by ApplySubXactData uses uint32, making pg_ceil_log2_64() safe to use directly. Several approaches have been discussed, like an integration with thresholds in pg_bitutils.h, but it was found confusing. This uses Dean's idea, which gives a simpler result than what I came up with to be able to remove dynahash.h. dynahash.h will be removed in a follow-up commit, removing some duplication with the ceil log2 routines.

2025-09-09Fix Coverity issue reported in commit a850be2fe.Amit Kapila
Address a potential SIGSEGV that may occur when the tablesync worker attempts to locate a deleted row while applying changes. This situation arises during conflict detection for update-deleted scenarios. To prevent this crash, ensure that the operation is errored out early if the leader apply worker is unavailable. Since the leader worker maintains the necessary conflict detection metadata, proceeding without it serves no purpose and risks reporting incorrect conflict type. In the passing, improve a nearby comment.

2025-09-08Post-commit review fixes for 228c370868.Amit Kapila
This commit fixes three issues: 1) When a disabled subscription is created with retain_dead_tuples set to true, the launcher is not woken up immediately, which may lead to delays in creating the conflict detection slot. Creating the conflict detection slot is essential even when the subscription is not enabled. This ensures that dead tuples are retained, which is necessary for accurately identifying the type of conflict during replication. 2) Conflict-related data was unnecessarily retained when the subscription does not have a table. 3) Conflict-relevant data could be prematurely removed before applying prepared transactions on the publisher that are in the commit critical section. This issue occurred because the backend executing COMMIT PREPARED was not accounted for during the computation of oldestXid in the commit phase on the publisher. As a result, the subscriber could advance the conflict slot's xmin without waiting for such COMMIT PREPARED transactions to complete. We fixed this issue by identifying prepared transactions that are in the commit critical section during computation of oldestXid in commit phase.

2025-09-02Add max_retention_duration option to subscriptions.Amit Kapila
This commit introduces a new subscription parameter, max_retention_duration, aimed at mitigating excessive accumulation of dead tuples when retain_dead_tuples is enabled and the apply worker lags behind the publisher. When the time spent advancing a non-removable transaction ID exceeds the max_retention_duration threshold, the apply worker will stop retaining conflict detection information. In such cases, the conflict slot's xmin will be set to InvalidTransactionId, provided that all apply workers associated with the subscription (with retain_dead_tuples enabled) confirm the retention duration has been exceeded. To ensure retention status persists across server restarts, a new column subretentionactive has been added to the pg_subscription catalog. This prevents unnecessary reactivation of retention logic after a restart. The conflict detection slot will not be automatically re-initialized unless a new subscription is created with retain_dead_tuples = true, or the user manually re-enables retain_dead_tuples. A future patch will introduce support for automatic slot re-initialization once at least one apply worker confirms that the retention duration is within the configured max_retention_duration.

2025-08-19Fix self-deadlock during DROP SUBSCRIPTION.Amit Kapila
The DROP SUBSCRIPTION command performs several operations: it stops the subscription workers, removes subscription-related entries from system catalogs, and deletes the replication slot on the publisher server. Previously, this command acquired an AccessExclusiveLock on pg_subscription before initiating these steps. However, while holding this lock, the command attempts to connect to the publisher to remove the replication slot. In cases where the connection is made to a newly created database on the same server as subscriber, the cache-building process during connection tries to acquire an AccessShareLock on pg_subscription, resulting in a self-deadlock. To resolve this issue, we reduce the lock level on pg_subscription during DROP SUBSCRIPTION from AccessExclusiveLock to RowExclusiveLock. Earlier, the higher lock level was used to prevent the launcher from starting a new worker during the drop operation, as a restarted worker could become orphaned. Now, instead of relying on a strict lock, we acquire an AccessShareLock on the specific subscription being dropped and re-validate its existence after acquiring the lock. If the subscription is no longer valid, the worker exits gracefully. This approach avoids the deadlock while still ensuring that orphan workers are not created.

2025-08-05Fix varatt versus Datum type confusionsPeter Eisentraut
Macros like VARDATA() and VARSIZE() should be thought of as taking values of type pointer to struct varlena or some other related struct. The way they are implemented, you can pass anything to it and it will cast it right. But this is in principle incorrect. To fix, add the required DatumGetPointer() calls. Or in a couple of cases, remove superfluous PointerGetDatum() calls. It is planned in a subsequent patch to change macros like VARDATA() and VARSIZE() to inline functions, which will enforce stricter typing. This is in preparation for that.

2025-08-04Avoid unexpected shutdown when sync_replication_slots is enabled.Fujii Masao
Previously, enabling sync_replication_slots while wal_level was not set to logical could cause the server to shut down. This was because the postmaster performed a configuration check before launching the slot synchronization worker and raised an ERROR if the settings were incompatible. Since ERROR is treated as FATAL in the postmaster, this resulted in the entire server shutting down unexpectedly. This commit changes the postmaster to log that message with a LOG-level instead of raising an ERROR, allowing the server to continue running even with the misconfiguration.

2025-08-04Detect and report update_deleted conflicts.Amit Kapila
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.

2025-08-03Fix assorted pretty-trivial memory leaks in the backend.Tom Lane
In the current system architecture, none of these are worth obsessing over; most are once-per-process leaks. However, Valgrind complains about all of them, and if we get to using threads rather than processes for backend sessions, it will become more interesting to avoid per-session leaks. * Fix leaks in StartupXLOG() and ShutdownWalRecovery(). * Fix leakage of pq_mq_handle in a parallel worker. While at it, move mq_putmessage's "Assert(pq_mq_handle != NULL)" to someplace where it's not trivially useless. * Fix leak in logicalrep_worker_detach(). * Don't leak the startup-packet buffer in ProcessStartupPacket(). * Fix leak in evtcache.c's DecodeTextArrayToBitmapset(). If the presented array is toasted, this neglected to free the detoasted copy, which was then leaked into EventTriggerCacheContext. * I'm distressed by the amount of code that BuildEventTriggerCache is willing to run while switched into a long-lived cache context. Although the detoasted array is the only leak that Valgrind reports, let's tighten things up while we're here. (DecodeTextArrayToBitmapset is still run in the cache context, so doing this doesn't remove the need for the detoast fix. But it reduces the surface area for other leaks.) * load_domaintype_info() intentionally leaked some intermediate cruft into the long-lived DomainConstraintCache's memory context, reasoning that the amount of leakage will typically not be much so it's not worth doing a copyObject() of the final tree to avoid that. But Valgrind knows nothing of engineering tradeoffs and complains anyway. On the whole, the copyObject doesn't cost that much and this is surely not a performance-critical code path, so let's do it the clean way. * MarkGUCPrefixReserved didn't bother to clean up removed placeholder GUCs at all, which shows up as a leak in one regression test. It seems appropriate for it to do as much cleanup as define_custom_variable does when replacing placeholders, so factor that code out into a helper function. define_custom_variable's logic was one brick shy of a load too: it forgot to free the separate allocation for the placeholder's name.

2025-08-02Fix use-after-free with INSERT ON CONFLICT changes in reorderbuffer.cMichael Paquier
In ReorderBufferProcessTXN(), used to send the data of a transaction to an output plugin, INSERT ON CONFLICT changes (INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT) are delayed until a confirmation record arrives (INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM), updating the change being processed. 8c58624df462 has added an extra step after processing a change to update the progress of the transaction, by calling the callback update_progress_txn() based on the LSN stored in a change after a threshold of CHANGES_THRESHOLD (100) is reached. This logic has missed the fact that for an INSERT ON CONFLICT change the data is freed once processed, hence update_progress_txn() could be called pointing to a LSN value that's already been freed. This could result in random crashes, depending on the workload. Per discussion, this issue is fixed by reusing in update_progress_txn() the LSN from the change processed found at the beginning of the loop, meaning that for a INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change the progress is updated using the LSN of the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change, and not the LSN from its INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT change. This is actually more correct, as we want to update the progress to point to the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change. Masahiko Sawada has found a nice trick to reproduce the issue: hardcode CHANGES_THRESHOLD at 1 and run test_decoding (test "ddl" being enough) on an instance running valgrind. The bug has been analyzed by Ethan Mertz, who also originally suggested the solution used in this patch. Issue introduced by 8c58624df462, so backpatch down to v16.
