Branch: CURRENT, Version: 16.2, Package name: postgresql16-docs-16.2, Maintainer: adam

PostgreSQL is a robust, next-generation, Object-Relational DBMS (ORDBMS),
derived from the Berkeley Postgres database management system. While
PostgreSQL retains the powerful object-relational data model, rich data types
and easy extensibility of Postgres, it replaces the PostQuel query language
with an extended subset of SQL.

PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available.

This package contains the database documentation.

Security Issues

CVE-2024-0985: PostgreSQL non-owner REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY \ 
executes arbitrary SQL

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 65 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \ 
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 16. Some of these issues may also \ 
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Fix memory leak when performing JIT inlining that could lead to out-of-memory \ 
conditions.
Several query planner fixes.
Align MERGE behavior with UPDATE when updating a partition key column and skip \ 
firing AFTER UPDATE ROW trigger and other post-update actions.
Fix problems with duplicate token names in ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION ... \ 
MAPPING commands.
Fix DROP ROLE with duplicate role names.
Properly lock the associated table during DROP STATISTICS to prevent errors if \ 
ANALYZE is running concurrently.
Fix function volatility checking for GENERATED and DEFAULT expressions.
Ensure collation matches when matching an existing index to a new partitioned index.
Avoid failure if a child index is dropped concurrently with REINDEX INDEX on a \ 
partitioned index.
Fix for locking during cleanup of GIN indexes. For this case, if multiple \ 
processes tried to clean the same GIN index page, there was a chance of index \ 
corruption. If you believe you were affected by this issue, reindex your GIN \ 
indexes after installing this update.
Avoid failure with partitioned SP-GiST indexes.
Several ownership fixes for large objects.
In EXPLAIN (BUFFERS), change name of I/O timing data "shared/local" to \ 
"shared".
Ensure durability of the CREATE DATABASE command if a system crash occurred \ 
during or shortly after execution.
Add more logging messages when starting and ending recovery from a backup.
Revert a change that made the walreceiver process unresponsive to SIGTERM while \ 
waiting for a replication connection to be established.
Several fixes for logical replication.
Fix incompatibility with OpenSSL 3.2.
Fix PL/pgSQL to allow CREATE FUNCTION/CREATE PROCEDURE SQL commands that use \ 
SQL-standard function bodies.
Fix for error handling in libpq pipeline mode.
Ensure initdb always uncomments postgresql.conf entries for the lc_ family of \ 
parameters.
In pg_dump, don't dump RLS policies or security labels for extension member objects.

Log message:
postgresql: updated to 16.1, 15.5, 14.10, 13.13, 12.17, and 11.22

Security Issues

CVE-2023-5868: Memory disclosure in aggregate function calls
CVE-2023-5869: Buffer overrun from integer overflow in array modification
CVE-2023-5870: Role pg_signal_backend can signal certain superuser processes

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 55 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \ 
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 16. Some of these issues may also \ 
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Fix issue where GiST indexes had an incorrect behavior during a "page \ 
split" operation that could lead to incorrect results in subsequent index \ 
searches. Please reindex GiST indexes after installing this update.
Fix issue where B-tree indexes would incorrectly de-duplicate interval columns. \ 
Please reindex any B-tree index that includes an interval column after \ 
installing this update.
Provide more efficient indexing of date, timestamptz, and timestamp values in \ 
BRIN indexes when using a minmax_multi opsclass. While not required, we \ 
recommend reindexing BRIN indexes that include these data types after installing \ 
this update.
Fix for bulk table insertion into partitioned tables.
Fix for hash-partitioned tables with multiple partition keys during step \ 
generation and runtime pruning that could lead to crashes in some cases.
Throw the correct error if pgrowlocks() is applied to a partitioned table

Fix inconsistent rechecking of concurrently-updated rows during MERGE when using \ 
READ COMMITTED mode.

Correctly identify the target table in an inherited UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE even \ 
when the parent table is excluded by constraints.
Fix over-allocation of a constructed tsvector.
Fix ALTER SUBSCRIPTION to apply changes in the run_as_owner option.
Several fixes for COPY FROM,
Several fixes for handling torn reads with pg_control.
Fix "could not find pathkey item to sort" errors occurring while \ 
planning aggregate functions with ORDER BY or DISTINCT options.
When track_io_timing is enabled, include the time taken by relation extension \ 
operations as write time.
Track the dependencies of cached CALL statements, and re-plan them when needed.
Treat out-of-memory failures as FATAL while reading WAL.
Fix pg_dump to dump the new run_as_owner option of subscriptions.
Fix pg_restore so that selective restores will include both table-level and \ 
column-level ACLs for selected tables.
Add logic to pg_upgrade to check for use of obsolete data types abstime, \ 
reltime, and tinterval.
Fix vacuumdb to have multiple -N switches actually exclude tables in multiple \ 
schemas.
amcheck will no longer report interrupted page deletion as corruption.
Fix btree_gin indexes on interval columns to properly return data when using the \ 
< and <= operators.

PostgreSQL 16 raises its performance, with notable improvements to query
parallelism, bulk data loading, and logical replication. There are many
features in this release for developers and administrators alike, including
more SQL/JSON syntax, new monitoring stats for your workloads, and greater
flexibility in defining access control rules for management of policies across
large fleets.
