* Improve handling of INT_MIN / -1 and related cases.Tom Lane2012-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some platforms throw an exception for this division, rather than returning a necessarily-overflowed result. Since we were testing for overflow after the fact, an exception isn't nice. We can avoid the problem by treating division by -1 as negation. Add some regression tests so that we'll find out if any compilers try to optimize away the overflow check conditions. Back-patch of commit 1f7cb5c30983752ff8de833de30afcaee63536d0. Per discussion with Xi Wang, though this is different from the patch he submitted.
* Fix the int8 and int2 cases of (minimum possible integer) % (-1).Tom Lane2012-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The correct answer for this (or any other case with arg2 = -1) is zero, but some machines throw a floating-point exception instead of behaving sanely. Commit f9ac414c35ea084ff70c564ab2c32adb06d5296f dealt with this in int4mod, but overlooked the fact that it also happens in int8mod (at least on my Linux x86_64 machine). Protect int2mod as well; it's not clear whether any machines fail there (mine does not) but since the test is so cheap it seems better safe than sorry. While at it, simplify the original guard in int4mod: we need only check for arg2 == -1, we don't need to check arg1 explicitly. Xi Wang, with some editing by me.
* Fix memory leaks in record_out() and record_send().Tom Lane2012-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | record_out() leaks memory: it fails to free the strings returned by the per-column output functions, and also is careless about detoasted values. This results in a query-lifespan memory leakage when returning composite values to the client, because printtup() runs the output functions in the query-lifespan memory context. Fix it to handle these issues the same way printtup() does. Also fix a similar leakage in record_send(). (At some point we might want to try to run output functions in shorter-lived memory contexts, so that we don't need a zero-leakage policy for them. But that would be a significantly more invasive patch, which doesn't seem like material for back-patching.) In passing, use appendStringInfoCharMacro instead of appendStringInfoChar in the innermost data-copying loop of record_out, to try to shave a few cycles from this function's runtime. Per trouble report from Carlos Henrique Reimer. Back-patch to all supported versions.
* Fix ruleutils to print "INSERT INTO foo DEFAULT VALUES" correctly.Tom Lane2012-10-19
| | | | | Per bug #7615 from Marko Tiikkaja. Apparently nobody ever tried this case before ...
* Fix access past end of string in date parsing.Heikki Linnakangas2012-10-02
| | | | | | This affects date_in(), and a couple of other funcions that use DecodeDate(). Hitoshi Harada
* Make configure probe for mbstowcs_l as well as wcstombs_l.Tom Lane2012-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | We previously supposed that any given platform would supply both or neither of these functions, so that one configure test would be sufficient. It now appears that at least on AIX this is not the case ... which is likely an AIX bug, but nonetheless we need to cope with it. So use separate tests. Per bug #6758; thanks to Andrew Hastie for doing the followup testing needed to confirm what was happening. Backpatch to 9.1, where we began using these functions.
* Fix cascading privilege revoke to notice when privileges are still held.Tom Lane2012-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from role(s) Y that X had granted it to. This was supposedly fixed as one aspect of commit 4b2dafcc0b1a579ef5daaa2728223006d1ff98e9, but I must not have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked. Per bug #6728 from Daniel German. Back-patch to all active branches, since this has been wrong since 8.0.
* Prevent access to external files/URLs via XML entity references.Tom Lane2012-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xml_parse() would attempt to fetch external files or URLs as needed to resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value, thus allowing unprivileged database users to attempt to fetch data with the privileges of the database server. While the external data wouldn't get returned directly to the user, portions of it could be exposed in error messages if the data didn't parse as valid XML; and in any case the mere ability to check existence of a file might be useful to an attacker. The ideal solution to this would still allow fetching of references that are listed in the host system's XML catalogs, so that documents can be validated according to installed DTDs. However, doing that with the available libxml2 APIs appears complex and error-prone, so we're not going to risk it in a security patch that necessarily hasn't gotten wide review. So this patch merely shuts off all access, causing any external fetch to silently expand to an empty string. A future patch may improve this. In HEAD and 9.2, also suppress warnings about undefined entities, which would otherwise occur as a result of not loading referenced DTDs. Previous branches don't show such warnings anyway, due to different error handling arrangements. Credit to Noah Misch for first reporting the problem, and for much work towards a solution, though this simplistic approach was not his preference. Also thanks to Daniel Veillard for consultation. Security: CVE-2012-3489
* Fix bugs with parsing signed hh:mm and hh:mm:ss fields in interval input.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DecodeInterval() failed to honor the "range" parameter (the special SQL syntax for indicating which fields appear in the literal string) if the time was signed. This seems inappropriate, so make it work like the not-signed case. The inconsistency was introduced in my commit f867339c0148381eb1d01f93ab5c79f9d10211de, which as noted in its log message was only really focused on making SQL-compliant literals work per spec. Including a sign here is not per spec, but if we're going to allow it then it's reasonable to expect it to work like the not-signed case. Also, remove bogus setting of tmask, which caused subsequent processing to think that what had been given was a timezone and not an hh:mm(:ss) field, thus confusing checks for redundant fields. This seems to be an aboriginal mistake in Lockhart's commit 2cf1642461536d0d8f3a1cf124ead0eac04eb760. Add regression test cases to illustrate the changed behaviors. Back-patch as far as 8.4, where support for spec-compliant interval literals was added. Range problem reported and diagnosed by Amit Kapila, tmask problem by me.
* Prevent corner-case core dump in rfree().Tom Lane2012-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | rfree() failed to cope with the case that pg_regcomp() had initialized the regex_t struct but then failed to allocate any memory for re->re_guts (ie, the first malloc call in pg_regcomp() failed). It would try to touch the guts struct anyway, and thus dump core. This is a sufficiently narrow corner case that it's not surprising it's never been seen in the field; but still a bug is a bug, so patch all active branches. Noted while investigating whether we need to call pg_regfree after a failure return from pg_regcomp. Other than this bug, it turns out we don't, so adjust comments appropriately.
* Back-patch fix for extraction of fixed prefixes from regular expressions.Tom Lane2012-07-10
| | | | | | Back-patch of commits 628cbb50ba80c83917b07a7609ddec12cda172d0 and c6aae3042be5249e672b731ebeb21875b5343010. This has been broken since 7.3, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Refactor pattern_fixed_prefix() to avoid dealing in incomplete patterns.Tom Lane2012-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, pattern_fixed_prefix() was defined to return whatever fixed prefix it could extract from the pattern, plus the "rest" of the pattern. That definition was sensible for LIKE patterns, but not so much for regexes, where reconstituting a valid pattern minus the prefix could be quite tricky (certainly the existing code wasn't doing that correctly). Since the only thing that callers ever did with the "rest" of the pattern was to pass it to like_selectivity() or regex_selectivity(), let's cut out the middle-man and just have pattern_fixed_prefix's subroutines do this directly. Then pattern_fixed_prefix can return a simple selectivity number, and the question of how to cope with partial patterns is removed from its API specification. While at it, adjust the API spec so that callers who don't actually care about the pattern's selectivity (which is a lot of them) can pass NULL for the selectivity pointer to skip doing the work of computing a selectivity estimate. This patch is only an API refactoring that doesn't actually change any processing, other than allowing a little bit of useless work to be skipped. However, it's necessary infrastructure for my upcoming fix to regex prefix extraction, because after that change there won't be any simple way to identify the "rest" of the regex, not even to the low level of fidelity needed by regex_selectivity. We can cope with that if regex_fixed_prefix and regex_selectivity communicate directly, but not if we have to work within the old API. Hence, back-patch to all active branches.
* Fix planner to pass correct collation to operator selectivity estimators.Tom Lane2012-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can do this without creating an API break for estimation functions by passing the collation using the existing fmgr functionality for passing an input collation as a hidden parameter. The need for this was foreseen at the outset, but we didn't get around to making it happen in 9.1 because of the decision to sort all pg_statistic histograms according to the database's default collation. That meant that selectivity estimators generally need to use the default collation too, even if they're estimating for an operator that will do something different. The reason it's suddenly become more interesting is that regexp interpretation also uses a collation (for its LC_TYPE not LC_COLLATE property), and we no longer want to use the wrong collation when examining regexps during planning. It's not that the selectivity estimate is likely to change much from this; rather that we are thinking of caching compiled regexps during planner estimation, and we won't get the intended benefit if we cache them with a different collation than the executor will use. Back-patch to 9.1, both because the regexp change is likely to get back-patched and because we might as well get this right in all collation-supporting branches, in case any third-party code wants to rely on getting the collation. The patch turns out to be minuscule now that I've done it ...
* Revert back-branch changes in behavior of age(xid).Tom Lane2012-05-31
| | | | | | | | Per discussion, it does not seem like a good idea to change the behavior of age(xid) in a minor release, even though the old definition causes the function to fail on hot standby slaves. Therefore, revert commit 5829387381d2e4edf84652bb5a712f6185860670 and follow-on commits in the back branches only.
* Expand the allowed range of timezone offsets to +/-15:59:59 from Greenwich.Tom Lane2012-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to only allow offsets less than +/-13 hours, then it was +/14, then it was +/-15. That's still not good enough though, as per today's bug report from Patric Bechtel. This time I actually looked through the Olson timezone database to find the largest offsets used anywhere. The winners are Asia/Manila, at -15:56:00 until 1844, and America/Metlakatla, at +15:13:42 until 1867. So we'd better allow offsets less than +/-16 hours. Given the history, we are way overdue to have some greppable #define symbols controlling this, so make some ... and also remove an obsolete comment that didn't get fixed the last time. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix string truncation to be multibyte-aware in text_name and bpchar_name.Tom Lane2012-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | Previously, casts to name could generate invalidly-encoded results. Also, make these functions match namein() more exactly, by consistently using palloc0() instead of ad-hoc zeroing code. Back-patch to all supported branches. Karl Schnaitter and Tom Lane

* Fix printing of whole-row Vars at top level of a SELECT targetlist.Tom Lane2012-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally whole-row Vars are printed as "tabname.*". However, that does not work at top level of a targetlist, because per SQL standard the parser will think that the "*" should result in column-by-column expansion; which is not at all what a whole-row Var implies. We used to just print the table name in such cases, which works most of the time; but it fails if the table name matches a column name available anywhere in the FROM clause. This could lead for instance to a view being interpreted differently after dump and reload. Adding parentheses doesn't fix it, but there is a reasonably simple kluge we can use instead: attach a no-op cast, so that the "*" isn't syntactically at top level anymore. This makes the printing of such whole-row Vars a lot more consistent with other Vars, and may indeed fix more cases than just the reported one; I'm suspicious that cases involving schema qualification probably didn't work properly before, either. Per bug report and fix proposal from Abbas Butt, though this patch is quite different in detail from his. Back-patch to all supported versions.
* Fix an Assert that turns out to be reachable after all.Tom Lane2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | estimate_num_groups() gets unhappy with create table empty(); select * from empty except select * from empty e2; I can't see any actual use-case for such a query (and the table is illegal per SQL spec), but it seems like a good idea that it not cause an assert failure.
* Fix gincostestimate to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr reasonably.Tom Lane2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding of this function overlooked the possibility that it could be passed anything except simple OpExpr indexquals. But ScalarArrayOpExpr is possible too, and the code would probably crash (and surely give ridiculous answers) in such a case. Add logic to try to estimate sanely for such cases. In passing, fix the treatment of inner-indexscan cost estimation: it was failing to scale up properly for multiple iterations of a nestloop. (I think somebody might've thought that index_pages_fetched() is linear, but of course it's not.) Report, diagnosis, and preliminary patch by Marti Raudsepp; I refactored it a bit and fixed the cost estimation. Back-patch into 9.1 where the bogus code was introduced.
* Revert the behavior of inet/cidr functions to not unpack the arguments.Heikki Linnakangas2011-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | I forgot to change the functions to use the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro, when I changed DatumGetInetP() to unpack the datum, like Datum*P macros usually do. Also, I screwed up the definition of the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro, and didn't notice because it wasn't used. This fixes the memory leak when sorting inet values, as reported by Jochen Erwied and debugged by Andres Freund. Backpatch to 8.3, like the previous patch that broke it.
* Make DatumGetInetP() unpack inet datums with a 1-byte header, and addHeikki Linnakangas2011-11-08
| | | | | | | a new macro, DatumGetInetPP(), that does not. This brings these macros in line with other DatumGet*P() macros. Backpatch to 8.3, where 1-byte header varlenas were introduced.
* Fix assorted bogosities in cash_in() and cash_out().Tom Lane2011-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | cash_out failed to handle multiple-byte thousands separators, as per bug #6277 from Alexander Law. In addition, cash_in didn't handle that either, nor could it handle multiple-byte positive_sign. Both routines failed to support multiple-byte mon_decimal_point, which I did not think was worth changing, but at least now they check for the possibility and fall back to using '.' rather than emitting invalid output. Also, make cash_in handle trailing negative signs, which formerly it would reject. Since cash_out generates trailing negative signs whenever the locale tells it to, this last omission represents a fail-to-reload-dumped-data bug. IMO that justifies patching this all the way back.
* Don't trust deferred-unique indexes for join removal.Tom Lane2011-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | The uniqueness condition might fail to hold intra-transaction, and assuming it does can give incorrect query results. Per report from Marti Raudsepp, though this is not his proposed patch. Back-patch to 9.0, where both these features were introduced. In the released branches, add the new IndexOptInfo field to the end of the struct, to try to minimize ABI breakage for third-party code that may be examining that struct.
* Improve and simplify CREATE EXTENSION's management of GUC variables.Tom Lane2011-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CREATE EXTENSION needs to transiently set search_path, as well as client_min_messages and log_min_messages. We were doing this by the expedient of saving the current string value of each variable, doing a SET LOCAL, and then doing another SET LOCAL with the previous value at the end of the command. This is a bit expensive though, and it also fails badly if there is anything funny about the existing search_path value, as seen in a recent report from Roger Niederland. Fortunately, there's a much better way, which is to piggyback on the GUC infrastructure previously developed for functions with SET options. We just open a new GUC nesting level, do our assignments with GUC_ACTION_SAVE, and then close the nesting level when done. This automatically restores the prior settings without a re-parsing pass, so (in principle anyway) there can't be an error. And guc.c still takes care of cleanup in event of an error abort. The CREATE EXTENSION code for this was modeled on some much older code in ri_triggers.c, which I also changed to use the better method, even though there wasn't really much risk of failure there. Also improve the comments in guc.c to reflect this additional usage.
* Suppress "unused function" warning when not HAVE_LOCALE_T.Tom Lane2011-09-20
| | | | Forgot to consider this case ...
* Improve reporting of newlocale() failures in CREATE COLLATION.Tom Lane2011-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | The standardized errno code for "no such locale" failures is ENOENT, which we were just reporting at face value, viz "No such file or directory". Per gripe from Thom Brown, this might confuse users, so add an errdetail message to clarify what it means. Also, report newlocale() failures as ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE rather than using errcode_for_file_access(), since newlocale()'s errno values aren't necessarily tied directly to file access failures.
* Fix corner case bug in numeric to_char().Tom Lane2011-09-07
| | | | | | | | Trailing-zero stripping applied by the FM specifier could strip zeroes to the left of the decimal point, for a format with no digit positions after the decimal point (such as "FM999."). Reported and diagnosed by Marti Raudsepp, though I didn't use his patch.
* Fix get_name_for_var_field() to deal with RECORD Params.Tom Lane2011-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With 9.1's use of Params to pass down values from NestLoop join nodes to their inner plans, it is possible for a Param to have type RECORD, in which case the set of fields comprising the value isn't determinable by inspection of the Param alone. However, just as with a Var of type RECORD, we can find out what we need to know if we can locate the expression that the Param represents. We already knew how to do this in get_parameter(), but I'd overlooked the need to be able to cope in get_name_for_var_field(), which led to EXPLAIN failing with "record type has not been registered". To fix, refactor the search code in get_parameter() so it can be used by both functions. Per report from Marti Raudsepp.
* setlocale() on Windows doesn't work correctly if the locale name containsHeikki Linnakangas2011-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dots. I previously worked around this in initdb, mapping the known problematic locale names to aliases that work, but Hiroshi Inoue pointed out that that's not enough because even if you use one of the aliases, like "Chinese_HKG", setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) returns back the long form, ie. "Chinese_Hong Kong S.A.R.". When we try to restore an old locale value by passing that value back to setlocale(), it fails. Note that you are affected by this bug also if you use one of those short-form names manually, so just reverting the hack in initdb won't fix it. To work around that, move the locale name mapping from initdb to a wrapper around setlocale(), so that the mapping is invoked on every setlocale() call. Also, add a few checks for failed setlocale() calls in the backend. These calls shouldn't fail, and if they do there isn't much we can do about it, but at least you'll get a warning. Backpatch to 9.1, where the initdb hack was introduced. The Windows bug affects older versions too if you set locale manually to one of the aliases, but given the lack of complaints from the field, I'm hesitent to backpatch.
* Further repair of eqjoinsel ndistinct-clamping logic.Tom Lane2011-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Examination of examples provided by Mark Kirkwood and others has convinced me that actually commit 7f3eba30c9d622d1981b1368f2d79ba0999cdff2 was quite a few bricks shy of a load. The useful part of that patch was clamping ndistinct for the inner side of a semi or anti join, and the reason why that's needed is that it's the only way that restriction clauses eliminating rows from the inner relation can affect the estimated size of the join result. I had not clearly understood why the clamping was appropriate, and so mis-extrapolated to conclude that we should clamp ndistinct for the outer side too, as well as for both sides of regular joins. These latter actions were all wrong, and are reverted with this patch. In addition, the clamping logic is now made to affect the behavior of both paths in eqjoinsel_semi, with or without MCV lists to compare. When we have MCVs, we suppose that the most common values are the ones that are most likely to survive the decimation resulting from a lower restriction clause, so we think of the clamping as eliminating non-MCV values, or potentially even the least-common MCVs for the inner relation. Back-patch to 8.4, same as previous fixes in this area.
* Improve eqjoinsel's ndistinct clamping to work for multiple levels of join.Tom Lane2011-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes an oversight in my commit 7f3eba30c9d622d1981b1368f2d79ba0999cdff2 of 2008-10-23. That patch accounted for baserel restriction clauses that reduced the number of rows coming out of a table (and hence the number of possibly-distinct values of a join variable), but not for join restriction clauses that might have been applied at a lower level of join. To account for the latter, look up the sizes of the min_lefthand and min_righthand inputs of the current join, and clamp with those in the same way as for the base relations. Noted while investigating a complaint from Ben Chobot, although this in itself doesn't seem to explain his report. Back-patch to 8.4; previous versions used different estimation methods for which this heuristic isn't relevant.
* Fix concat_ws() to not insert a separator after leading NULL argument(s).Tom Lane2011-08-29
| | | | | Per bug #6181 from Itagaki Takahiro. Also do some marginal code cleanup and improve error handling.
* Fix potential memory clobber in tsvector_concat().Tom Lane2011-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsvector_concat() allocated its result workspace using the "conservative" estimate of the sum of the two input tsvectors' sizes. Unfortunately that wasn't so conservative as all that, because it supposed that the number of pad bytes required could not grow. Which it can, as per test case from Jesper Krogh, if there's a mix of lexemes with positions and lexemes without them in the input data. The fix is to assume that we might add a not-previously-present pad byte for each and every lexeme in the two inputs; which really is conservative, but it doesn't seem worthwhile to try to be more precise. This is an aboriginal bug in tsvector_concat, so back-patch to all versions containing it.
* Replace errdetail("%s", ...) with errdetail_internal("%s", ...).Tom Lane2011-07-16
| | | | | | There may be some other places where we should use errdetail_internal, but they'll have to be evaluated case-by-case. This commit just hits a bunch of places where invoking gettext is obviously a waste of cycles.
* Avoid listing ungrouped Vars in the targetlist of Agg-underneath-Window.Tom Lane2011-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Regular aggregate functions in combination with, or within the arguments of, window functions are OK per spec; they have the semantics that the aggregate output rows are computed and then we run the window functions over that row set. (Thus, this combination is not really useful unless there's a GROUP BY so that more than one aggregate output row is possible.) The case without GROUP BY could fail, as recently reported by Jeff Davis, because sloppy construction of the Agg node's targetlist resulted in extra references to possibly-ungrouped Vars appearing outside the aggregate function calls themselves. See the added regression test case for an example. Fixing this requires modifying the API of flatten_tlist and its underlying function pull_var_clause. I chose to make pull_var_clause's API for aggregates identical to what it was already doing for placeholders, since the useful behaviors turn out to be the same (error, report node as-is, or recurse into it). I also tightened the error checking in this area a bit: if it was ever valid to see an uplevel Var, Aggref, or PlaceHolderVar here, that was a long time ago, so complain instead of ignoring them. Backpatch into 9.1. The failure exists in 8.4 and 9.0 as well, but seeing that it only occurs in a basically-useless corner case, it doesn't seem worth the risks of changing a function API in a minor release. There might be third-party code using pull_var_clause.

* Add overflow checks to int4 and int8 versions of generate_series().Robert Haas2011-06-17
| | | | | | | | | The previous code went into an infinite loop after overflow. In fact, an overflow is not really an error; it just means that the current value is the last one we need to return. So, just arrange to stop immediately when overflow is detected. Back-patch all the way.
* Rework parsing of ConstraintAttributeSpec to improve NOT VALID handling.Tom Lane2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | The initial commit of the ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY NOT VALID feature failed to support labeling such constraints as deferrable. The best fix for this seems to be to fold NOT VALID into ConstraintAttributeSpec. That's a bit more general than the documented syntax, but it allows better-targeted syntax error messages. In addition, do some mostly-but-not-entirely-cosmetic code review for the whole NOT VALID patch.

* Fix pg_get_constraintdef to cope with NOT VALID constraintsAlvaro Herrera2011-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | This case was missed when NOT VALID constraints were first introduced in commit 722bf7017bbe796decc79c1fde03e7a83dae9ada by Simon Riggs on 2011-02-08. Among other things, it causes pg_dump to omit the NOT VALID flag when dumping such constraints, which may cause them to fail to load afterwards, if they contained values failing the constraint. Per report from Thom Brown.
* Fix null-dereference crash in parse_xml_decl().Tom Lane2011-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | parse_xml_decl's header comment says you can pass NULL for any unwanted output parameter, but it failed to honor this contract for the "standalone" flag. The only currently-affected caller is xml_recv, so the net effect is that sending a binary XML value containing a standalone parameter in its xml declaration would crash the backend. Per bug #6044 from Christopher Dillard. In passing, remove useless initializations of parse_xml_decl's output parameters in xml_parse. Back-patch to 8.3, where this code was introduced.
* Make decompilation of optimized CASE constructs more robust.Tom Lane2011-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had some hacks in ruleutils.c to cope with various odd transformations that the optimizer could do on a CASE foo WHEN "CaseTestExpr = RHS" clause. However, the fundamental impossibility of covering all cases was exposed by Heikki, who pointed out that the "=" operator could get replaced by an inlined SQL function, which could contain nearly anything at all. So give up on the hacks and just print the expression as-is if we fail to recognize it as "CaseTestExpr = RHS". (We must cover that case so that decompiled rules print correctly; but we are not under any obligation to make EXPLAIN output be 100% valid SQL in all cases, and already could not do so in some other cases.) This approach requires that we have some printable representation of the CaseTestExpr node type; I used "CASE_TEST_EXPR". Back-patch to all supported branches, since the problem case fails in all.
