I wanted to make the function test_streaming look simpler, so I put the
checking of the streaming option inside the function check_parallel_log.

Compared with the flag "localrelvalid", we also need to additionally reset the
flag "safety" when function and type are changed (see function
logicalrep_relmap_init). So I think for these two cases, we just need to reset
the flag "safety" to avoid rebuilding too much cache (see function
logicalrep_relmap_reset_parallel_cb).

I removed the check for the foreign key.
Since foreign key does not take effect in the subscriber's apply worker by
default, it seems that foreign key does not hit this ERROR frequently.
If we set foreign key related trigger to "REPLICA", then, I think this flag
will be set to "unsafety" when checking non-immutable function uesd by trigger.
BTW, I only document this reason in the commit message and keep the foreign key
related tests.

Yes, I removed it.
I think this will make the test unstable. Because after applying patch
0004, we could not sure whether the transaction is completed in a parallel
apply worker. If any unexpected error occurs, the test will fail because the
log cannot be found, even if the transaction completed successfully.

Since this is an unexpected situation that cannot be reproduced 100%, we did
not add tests related to this part of the code to improve coverage.

Did some modifications to the comments above ParallelApplyWorkersList.
And I think we could know the difference between these two variables by
referring to the functions parallel_apply_start_worker and
parallel_apply_free_worker.

I think it is okay to not check the worker's xid here.
Please refer to the comments above `stream_apply_worker`.
"stream_apply_worker" will only be returned during a stream block, which means
the xid is the same as the xid in the STREAM_START message.

For code readability, similar functions are named in this format:
`parallel_apply_.*_worker`.

I am not sure if we could rename this existing variable for this. So I kept the

Since I think it is not appropriate to log the xid here, added back the
following message: `finished processing the transaction finish command`.

I think user could refer to the view pg_stat_subscription to check if the
parallel apply worker started.
BTW, we have documented the case if no parallel worker are available.

I think it is okay to use "ApplyMessageContext" here just like "ApplyContext".

Since the message is from parallel apply worker to main apply worker, I think
"from" looks a little better.

Yea, I have been wondering about that too. Oddly enough, given our current behaviour, the strongest case for static libraries IMO is on windows, due to the lack of a) rpath b) a general library search path.

I don't really have an opinion on whether it's worth having the options. I think most packaging systems have ways of not including files even if $software installs them. Greetings, Andres Freund

Yeah, but your %.y style is much nicer. Fixed that way. (I was
trying to avoid what I thought were non-standard extensions but I see
that's in POSIX sh. Cool.)

Not sure it's OK to put random junk in ccache's directory, and in any
case we'd certainly want to teach it to trim itself before doing that
on CI... On the other hand, adding another registered cache dir would
likely add several seconds to CI, more than what can be saved with
this trick! The amount of time we can save is only a few seconds, or

So... I guess the target audience of this script is extremely
impatient people working locally, since with Meson our clean builds
are cleaner, and will lead to re-execution this step. I just tried
Andres's current meson branch on my fast-ish 16 core desktop, and
then, after priming caches, "ninja clean && time ninja" tells me:
real0m3.133s
After doing 'meson configure
-DBISON="/path/to/simple-bison-cache.sh"', I get it down to:
real0m2.440s
However, in doing that I realised that you need an executable name,
not a hairy shell command fragment, so you can't use
"simple-bison-cache.sh bison", so I had to modify the script to be a
wrapper that knows how to find bison. Bleugh.

Yeah, seems OK. I also fixed the uncertainty about -d, and made a
small tweak after testing on Debian, MacOS and FreeBSD. BTW this
isn't a proposal for src/tools yet, I'm just sharing for curiosity...
I suppose a version good enough to live in src/tools would need to
trim the cache, and I don't enjoy writing code that deletes files in
shell script, so maybe this'd need to be written in Python...

Thanks for the suggestion. If I understand correctly, you mean we can disallow publishing a table with column list and any schema(a schema that the table might not be part of) in the same publication[1]. something like-- [1]CREATE PUBLICATION pub FOR TABLE public.test(a), ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA s2; ERROR: "cannot add schema to publication when column list is used in the published table" -- Personally, it looks acceptable to me as user can anyway achieve the same purpose by creating serval publications and combine it and we can save the restriction at ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA. Although it restricts some cases. I will post a top-up patch about this soon. About the row filter handling, maybe we don't need to restrict row filter like above ? Because the rule is to simply merge the row filter with 'OR' among publications, so it seems we could ignore the row filter in the publication when the table's schema is also published in the same publication(which means no filter).

The problem with #2 is that if you look at heapam_relation_needs_toast_table(), it only decides if the toast table should be created based on (tuple_length > TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD). So if you were to change the logic as you describe for #2 then there might not be a toast table during an INSERT/UPDATE. The only way to fix that would be to ensure that we reconsider if we should create a toast table or not when someone changes the toast_tuple_target reloption. That can't be done under ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, so we'd need to obtain an AccessExclusiveLock instead when changing the toast_tuple_target reloption. That might upset some people. The general direction of [1] was to just increase the minimum setting to TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD, but there were some concerns about breaking pg_dump as we'd have to error if someone does ALTER TABLE to set the toast_tuple_target reloption lower than the newly defined minimum value. I don't quite follow you on #3. If there's no toast table we can't toast. David [1] https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20190403063759.gf3...@paquier.xyz

Hi. According to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-localalloc "Note The local functions have greater overhead and provide fewer features than other memory management functions. New applications should use the heap functions unless documentation states that a local function should be used. For more information, see Global and Local Functions." LocalAlloc is deprecated. So use HeapAlloc instead, once LocalAlloc is an overhead wrapper to HeapAlloc. Attached a patch. regards, Ranier Vilela use-heapalloc-instead-deprecated-localalloc.patch Description: Binary data

Both archive_command and archive_library are PGC_SIGHUP, so IIUC that
wouldn't be sufficient. I attached a quick sketch that seems to provide
the desired behavior. It's nowhere near committable yet, but it
demonstrates what I'm thinking.
For recovery_target_*, something like you are describing seems reasonable.
I believe PostmasterMain() already performs some similar checks.

Subject: [PATCH v2] Allow wildcard (%) in extension upgrade paths
A wildcard character "%" will be accepted in the
"source" side of the upgrade script and be considered
usable to upgrade any version to the "target" side.
Using wildcards needs to be explicitly requested by
extensions via a "wildcard_upgrades" setting in their
control file.

Re: [PATCH] Support % wildcard in extension upgrade filenames
I'm attaching an updated version of the patch. This time the patch is tested. Nothing changes unless the .control file for the subject extension doesn't have a "wildcard_upgrades = true" statement. When wildcard upgrades are enabled, a file with a "%" symbol as the "source" part of the upgrade path will match any version and will be used if a specific version upgrade does not exist. This means that in presence of the following files: postgis--3.0.0--3.2.0.sql postgis--%--3.2.0.sql The first one will be used for going from 3.0.0 to 3.2.0. This is the intention.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Add non-blocking version of PQcancel
Jelte Fennema writes:
> [ non-blocking PQcancel ]
I pushed the 0001 patch (libpq_pipeline documentation) with a bit
of further wordsmithing.
As for 0002, I'm not sure that's anywhere near ready. I doubt it's
a great idea to un-deprecate PQrequestCancel with a major change
in its behavior. If there is anybody out there still using it,
they're not likely to appreciate that. Let's leave that alone and
pick some other name.
I'm also finding the entire design of PQrequestCancelStart etc to
be horribly confusing --- it's not *bad* necessarily, but the chosen
function names are seriously misleading. PQrequestCancelStart doesn't
actually "start" anything, so the apparent parallel with PQconnectStart
is just wrong. It's also fairly unclear what the state of a cancel
PQconn is after the request cycle is completed, and whether you can
re-use it (especially after a failed request), and whether you have
to dispose of it separately.
On the whole it feels like a mistake to have two separate kinds of
PGconn with fundamentally different behaviors and yet no distinction
in the API. I think I'd recommend having a separate struct type
(which might internally contain little more than a pointer to a
cloned PGconn), and provide only a limited set of operations on it.
Seems like create, start/continue cancel request, destroy, and
fetch error message ought to be enough. I don't see a reason why we
need to support all of libpq's inquiry operations on such objects ---
for instance, if you want to know which host is involved, you could
perfectly well query the parent PGconn. Nor do I want to run around
and add code to every single libpq entry point to make it reject cancel
PGconns if it can't support them, but we'd have to do so if there's
just one struct type.
I'm not seeing the use-case for PQconnectComplete. If you want
a non-blocking cancel request, why would you then use a blocking
operation to complete the request? Seems like it'd be better
to have just a monolithic cancel function for those who don't
need non-blocking.

ConnStatusType value anyway? Seems like PostgresPollingStatusType
covers what we need: once you reach PGRES_POLLING_OK, the cancel
request is done.
The test case is still not very bulletproof on slow machines,
as it seems to be assuming that 30 seconds == forever. It
would be all right to use $PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::timeout_default,
but I'm not sure that that's easily retrievable by C code.
Maybe make the TAP test pass it in with another optional switch
to libpq_pipeline? Alternatively, we could teach libpq_pipeline
to do getenv("PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT") with a fallback to 180,
but that feels like it might be overly familiar with the innards

I have fixed all the user-visible problems I found in this version, and reviewed the tests results more carefully so I am now more confident that behaviourally it's doing the right thing; but Reading through the SQL standard again, I think this patch goes a bit too far in folding NOT NULL and CHECK constraints together. The spec says that you need to remember whether a column was defined as NOT NULL, and that the commands DROP NOT NULL and SET NOT NULL only affect constraints defined in that way. In this implementation, a constraint defined as NOT NULL is converted to a CHECK (x IS NOT NULL) constraint and the original definition is forgotten. Besides that, I think that users are not going to like that pg_dump rewrites their NOT NULL constraints into CHECK table constraints. I suspect that this needs a separate contype for NOT NULL constraints that is separate from CONSTRAINT_CHECK.

Re: Counterintuitive behavior when toast_tuple_target < TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD
Hi! I've noticed this behavior half a year ago during experiments with TOAST, and TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD really works NOT the way it is thought to. I propose something like FORCE_TOAST flag/option as column option (stored in attoptions), because we already encountered multiple cases where data should be stored externally despite its size. Currently I'm working on passing Toaster options in attoptions. Thoughts? On Wed, Sep 14, 2022 at 7:12 PM Aleksander Alekseev < aleksan...@timescale.com> wrote: > Hi hackers, > > > 1.

I have already written a simple throwaway patch that can use the current VM snapshot data structure (which is just a local copy of the VM's pages) to do a cheap precheck ahead of actually doing a binary search in dead_items -- if a TID's heap page is all-visible or all-frozen (depending on the type of VACUUM) then we're 100% guaranteed to not visit it, and so it's 100% guaranteed to not have any dead_items (actually it could have LP_DEAD items by the time the index scan happens, but they won't be in our dead_items array in any case). Since we're working off of an immutable source, this optimization is simple to implement already. Very simple. I haven't even bothered to benchmark this throwaway patch (I literally wrote it in 5 minutes to show Masahiko what I meant). I can't see why even that throwaway prototype wouldn't significantly improve performance, though. After all, the VM snapshot data structure is far denser than dead_items, and the largest tables often have most heap pages skipped via the VM. I'm not really interested in pursuing this simple approach because it conflicts with Masahiko's work on the data structure, and there are other good reasons to expect that to help. Plus I'm already very busy with what I have here. > It'd be more logical to > me to say the VM snapshot *requires* you to think harder about > resource management, since a palloc'd snapshot should surely be > counted as part of the configured memory cap that admins control. That's clearly true -- it creates a new problem for resource management that will need to be solved. But that doesn't mean that it can't ultimately make resource management better and easier. Remember, we don't randomly visit some skippable pages for no good reason in the patch, since the SKIP_PAGES_THRESHOLD stuff is completely gone. The VM snapshot isn't just a data structure that vacuumlazy.c uses as it sees fit -- it's actually more like a set of instructions on which pages to scan, that vacuumlazy.c *must* follow. There is no way that vacuumlazy.c can accidentally pick up a few extra dead_items here and there due to concurrent activity that unsets VM pages. We don't need to leave that to chance -- it is locked in from the start. > I do remember your foreshadowing in the radix tree thread a while > back, and I do think it's an intriguing idea to combine pages-to-scan > and dead TIDs in the same data structure.

I agree that multiple index scans are rare. But I also think that they're disproportionately involved in really problematic cases for VACUUM. That said, I agree that simply making lookups to dead_items as fast as possible is the single most important way to improve VACUUM by improving dead_items. > Furthermore, it doesn't have to anticipate the maximum size, so there > is no up front calculation assuming max-tuples-per-page, so it > automatically uses less memory for less demanding tables. The final number of TIDs doesn't seem like the most interesting information that VM snapshots could provide us when it comes to building the dead_items TID data structure -- the *distribution* of TIDs across heap pages seems much more interesting. The "shape" can be known ahead of time, at least to some degree. It can help with compression, which will reduce cache misses. Andres made remarks about memory usage with sparse dead TID patterns at this point on the "Improve dead tuple storage for lazy vacuum" thread: https://postgr.es/m/20210710025543.37sizjvgybemk...@alap3.anarazel.de I haven't studied the radix tree stuff in great detail, so I am uncertain of how much the VM snapshot concept could help, and where exactly it would help. I'm just saying that it seems promising, especially as a way of addressing concerns like this. -- Peter Geoghegan

Counterintuitive behavior when toast_tuple_target < TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD
Hi hackers, Recently in one discussion a user complained [1] about counterintuitive behavior of toast_tuple_target. Here is a quote: """ Table size 177.74 GB Toast table size 12 GB Indexes size 33.49 GB This table is composed of small columns "id", "hash", "size", and a mid~big (2~512kb) jsonb. I don't want to be forced to read the big column when doing seq scans, so I tried to set toast_tuple_target = 128, to exclude the big column, but even after a VACUUM FULL i couldn't get pg to toast the big column. Am I doing something wrong? """ Arguably in this case the user may actually want to store the JSONB fields by the foreign key. However the user may have a good point that setting toast_tuple_target < TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD effectively does nothing. This happens because [2]: """ The TOAST management code is triggered only when a row value to be stored in a table is wider than TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD bytes (normally 2 kB). The TOAST code will compress and/or move field values out-of-line until the row value is shorter than toast_tuple_target bytes (also normally 2 kB, adjustable) or no more gains can be had. """ ... TOAST is _triggered_ by TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD but tries to compress the tuple until toast_tuple_target bytes. This is indeed somewhat confusing. I see several ways of solving this. 1. Forbid setting toast_tuple_target < TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD 2. Consider using something like RelationGetToastTupleTarget(rel, TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD) in heapam.c:2250, heapam.c:3625 and rewriteheap.c:636 and modify the documentation accordingly. 3. Add a separate user-defined table setting toast_tuple_threshold similar to toast_tuple_target. Thoughts?

+1 for that refactoring. Here are a few comments about the 0001 patch:
Thanks for reviewing the patch!
I'm not sure it's a good idea to change the function's name, because
that would make backpatching hard. To avoid that, how about
introducing a workhorse function for pgfdw_get_result and
pgfdw_get_cleanup_result, based on the latter function as you
proposed, and modifying the two functions so that they call the
workhorse function?
That's possible. We can revive pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() and
make it call pgfdw_get_result_timed(). Also, with the patch,
pgfdw_get_result() already works in that way. But I'm not sure
how much we should be concerned about back-patch "issue"
in this case. We usually rename the internal functions
if new names are better.

The existing code prevents interruption, but this would change to

You imply that we intentially avoided calling CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPT()
there, don't you? But could you tell me why?
I have to agree with Horiguchi-san, because as mentioned by him, 1)
there isn't enough duplicate code in the two bits to justify merging
them into a single function, and 2) the 0002 patch rather just makes
code complicated. The current implementation is easy to understand,
so I'd vote for leaving them alone for now.
(I think the introduction of pgfdw_abort_cleanup is good, because that
de-duplicated much code that existed both in pgfdw_xact_callback and
in pgfdw_subxact_callback, which would outweigh the downside of
pgfdw_abort_cleanup that it made code somewhat complicated due to the
logic to handle both the transaction and subtransaction cases within
that single function. But 0002 is not the case, I think.)
The function pgfdw_exec_pre_commit() that I newly introduced consists
of two parts; issue the transaction-end command based on
parallel_commit setting and issue DEALLOCATE ALL. The first part is
duplicated between pgfdw_xact_callback() and pgfdw_subxact_callback(),
but the second not (i.e., it's used only by pgfdw_xact_callback()).
So how about getting rid of that non duplicated part from
pgfdw_exec_pre_commit()?
It gives the same feeling with 0002.
I have to agree with Horiguchi-san on this as well; the existing
single-purpose functions are easy to understand, so I'd vote for
leaving them alone.
Ok, I will reconsider 0003 patch. BTW, parallel abort patch that
you're proposing seems to add new function pgfdw_finish_abort_cleanup()
with the similar structure as the function added by 0003 patch.
So probably it's helpful for us to consider this together :)

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Support load balancing in libpq
+1 for overall idea of load balancing via random host selection. For the patch itself, I think it is better to use a more precise time function in libpq_prng_init or call it only once. Thought it is a special corner case, imagine all the connection attempts at first second will be seeded with the save value, i.e. will attempt to connect to the same host. I think, this is not we want to achieve. And the "hostroder" option should be free'd in freePGconn. > Also, IMO, the solution must have a fallback mechanism if the > standby/chosen host isn't reachable. Yeah, I think it should. I'm not insisting on a particular name of options here, but in my view, the overall idea may be next: - we have two libpq's options: "load_balance_hosts" and "failover_timeout"; - the "load_balance_hosts" should be "sequential" or "random"; - the "failover_timeout" is a time period, within which, if connection to the server is not established, we switch to the next address or host. While writing this text, I start thinking that load balancing is a combination of two parameters above. > 3) Isn't it good to provide a way to test the patch? Good idea too.

Re: FTS parser - missing UUID token type
=?UTF-8?Q?Przemys=c5=82aw_Sztoch?= writes: > I miss UUID, which indexes very strangely, is more and more popular and > people want to search for it. Really? UUIDs in running text seem like an extremely uncommon use-case to me. URLs in running text are common nowadays, which is why the text search parser has special code for that, but UUIDs? Adding such a thing isn't cost-free either. Aside from the probably-substantial development effort, we know from experience with the URL support that it sometimes misfires and identifies something as a URL or URL fragment when it really isn't one. That leads to poorer indexing of the affected text. It seems likely that adding a UUID token type would be a net negative for most people, since they'd be subject to that hazard even if their text contains no true UUIDs. It's a shame that the text search parser isn't more extensible. If it were you could imagine having such a feature while making it optional. I'm not volunteering to fix that though :-( regards, tom lane

RE: logical replication restrictions
Hi,
Sorry for noise but I found another bug.
When the 032_apply_delay.pl is modified like following,
the test will be always failed even if my patch is applied.
```
# Disable subscription. worker should die immediately.
-$node_subscriber->safe_psql('postgres',

+$node_subscriber->safe_psql('postgres', q{
+BEGIN;
+ALTER SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub DISABLE;
+SELECT pg_sleep(1);
+COMMIT;
+}
);
```
The point of failure is same as I reported previously.

I think it may be caused that waken worker read catalogs that have not modified
yet.
In AlterSubscription(), the backend kicks the apply worker ASAP, but it should
be at
end of the transaction, like ApplyLauncherWakeupAtCommit() and
AtEOXact_ApplyLauncher().
```
+ /*
+* If this subscription has been disabled and
it has an apply
+* delay set, wake up the logical replication
worker to finish
+* it as soon as possible.
+*/
+ if (!opts.enabled && sub->applydelay > 0)

InvalidOid);

```
How do you think?

It'd be more logical to me to say the VM snapshot *requires* you to think harder about resource management, since a palloc'd snapshot should surely be counted as part of the configured memory cap that admins control. (Commonly, it'll be less than a few dozen MB, so I'll leave that aside.) Since Masahiko hasn't (to my knowlege) gone as far as integrating his ideas into vacuum, I'm not sure if the current state of affairs has some snag that a snapshot will ease, but if there is, you haven't described what it is. I do remember your foreshadowing in the radix tree thread a while back, and I do think it's an intriguing idea to combine pages-to-scan and dead TIDs in the same data structure. The devil is in the details, of course. It's worth looking into. > VM snapshots could also make it practical for the new data structure > to spill to disk to avoid multiple index scans/passed by VACUUM. I'm not sure spilling to disk is solving the right problem (as opposed to the hash join case, or to the proposed conveyor belt system which has a broader aim). I've found several times that a customer will ask if raising maintenance work mem from 1GB to 10GB will make vacuum faster. Looking at the count of index scans, it's pretty much always "1", so even if the current approach could scale above 1GB, "no" it wouldn't help to raise that limit. Your mileage may vary, of course. Continuing my customer example, searching the dead TID list faster *will* make vacuum faster. The proposed tree structure is more memory efficient, and IIUC could scale beyond 1GB automatically since each node is a separate allocation, so the answer will be "yes" in the rare case the current setting is in fact causing multiple index scans. Furthermore, it doesn't have to anticipate the maximum size, so there is no up front calculation assuming max-tuples-per-page, so it automatically uses less memory for less demanding tables. (But +1 for changing that calculation for as long as we do have the single array.) -- John Naylor EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com

FTS parser - missing UUID token type
I miss UUID, which indexes very strangely, is more and more popular and people want to search for it. See: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch-parsers.html UUID is fairly easy to parse: The hexadecimal digits are grouped as 32 hexadecimal characters with four hyphens: ----. The number of characters per hyphen is 8-4-4-4-12. The last section of four, or the N position, indicates the format and encoding in either one to three bits. Now, UUIDs parse each other differently, depending on whether the individual parts begin with numbers or letters: 00633f1d-1fff-409e-8294-40a21f565904 '-40':6 '00633f1d':2 '00633f1d-1fff-409e':1 '1fff':3 '409e':4 '8294':5 'a21f565904':7 00856c28-2251-4aaf-82d3-e4962f5b732d '-2251':2 '-4':3 '00856c28':1 '82d3':6 'aaf':5 'aaf-82d3-e4962f5b732d':4 'e4962f5b732d':7 00a1cc84-816a-490a-a99c-8a4c637380b0 '00a1cc84':2 '00a1cc84-816a-490a-a99c-8a4c637380b0':1 '490a':4 '816a':3 '8a4c637380b0':6 'a99c':5 As a result, such identifiers cannot be found in the database later.

Thanks for reviewing.
Sorry for making such a simple mistake.
I fixed it in v6.
Not only table but also view, foreign table, etc can be specified after
USING in MERGE command. So ISTM that Query_for_list_of_selectables
should be used at the above tab-completion, instead of
Query_for_list_of_tables.
Thought?
That's nice idea!
I took that in v6.

Subject: [PATCH v4] Refactor backup related code
This patch tries to refactor backup related code, advantages of
doing so are following:
1) backup state is more structured now - all in a single structure,
callers can create backup_label contents whenever required, either
during the pg_backup_start or the pg_backup_stop or in between.
2) no parsing of backup_label file lines now, no error checking
for invalid parsing.
3) backup_label and history file contents have most of the things
in common, they can now be created within a single function
4) makes backup related code extensible and readable

The latter seems redundant and can be removed. The former seems to
cover all the cases where the latter covers.
Not only table but also view, foreign table, etc can be specified after
USING in MERGE command. So ISTM that Query_for_list_of_selectables
should be used at the above tab-completion, instead of Query_for_list_of_tables.
Thought?

Query jumbling for prepare statement
Hi! I found prepare statement are not jumbled. Fro example PREPARE 't1'; and PREPARE 't2' are counted separately in pg_stat_statements. I think it needs to be fixed. What do you think? Regards, Kotaro Kawamoto

Re: tweak to a few index tests to hits ambuildempty() routine.
I still wonder, if assert doesn't catch why that place is marked as covered here? https://coverage.postgresql.org/src/backend/access/gin/ginvacuum.c.gcov.html a.kozhemya...@postgrespro.ru писал 2022-09-12 15:47: Hi, The commit 4fb5c794e5 eliminates the ginbulkdelete() test coverage provided by the commit 4c51a2d1e4 two years ago.
