fixes#8264
PostgreSQL 18 introduced a planner improvement (commit `ae4569161`) that
rewrites simple `OR` equality clauses into `= ANY(...)` forms, allowing
the use of a single index scan instead of multiple scans or a custom
scan.
This change affects the columnar path tests where queries like `a=0 OR
a=5` previously chose a Columnar or Seq Scan plan.
In this PR:
* Updated test expectations for `uses_custom_scan` and `uses_seq_scan`
to reflect the new index scan plan.
This keeps the test output consistent with PostgreSQL 18’s updated
planner behavior.
Relevant PG18 commit:
c2a4078eba
- Enable buffer-usage reporting by default in `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` on
PostgreSQL 18 and above.
Solution:
- Introduce the explicit `BUFFERS OFF` option in every existing
regression test to maintain pre-PG18 output consistency.
- This appends, `BUFFERS OFF` to all `EXPLAIN ANALYZE(...)` calls in
src/test/regress/sql and the corresponding .out files.
fixes#8093
This PR fixes diffs in `columnnar_chunk_filtering` and `columnar_paths`
tests.
In `columnnar_chunk_filtering` an expression `(NOT (SubPlan 1))` changed
to `(NOT (ANY (a = (SubPlan 1).col1)))`. This is due to [aPG17
commit](https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/fd0398fc) that
improved how scalar subqueries (InitPlans) and ANY subqueries (SubPlans)
are EXPLAINed in expressions. The fix uses a helper function which
converts the PG17 format to the pre-PG17 format. It is done this way
because pre-PG17 EXPLAIN does not provide enough context to convert to
the PG17 format. The helper function can (and should) be retired when 17
becomes the minimum supported PG.
In `columnar_paths`, a merge join changed to a hash join. This is due to
[this PG17
commit](f7816aec23),
which improved the PG optimizer's ability to estimate the size of a CTE
scan. The impacted query involves a CTE scan with a point predicate
`(a=123)` and before the change the CTE size was estimated to be 5000,
but with the change it is correctly (given the data in the table)
estimated to be 1, making hash join a more attractive join method. The
fix is to have an alternative goldfile for pre-PG17. I tried, but was
unable, to force a specific kind of join method using the GUCs
(`enable_nestloop`, `enable_hashjoin`, `enable_mergejoin`), but it was
not possible to obtain a consistent plan across all supported PG
versions (in some cases the join inputs switched sides).

This commit is in the series of PG16 compatibility commits. It makes some changes
to our tests in order to be compatible with the following in PG16:
- Fix multi_subquery_in_where_reference_clause test
somehow PG got rid of the outer join
(e.g., explain doesn't show outer joins),
hence we can pushdown the subquery.
Changing to users_reference_table
- Fix unqualified column names for views in PG16
Relevant PG commit:

- Fix global_cancel test
Error wording and detail changed

- Fix local_table_join_test with lateral subquery
Possible relevant PG commit:
ae89129aa3
ae89129aa3555c263b8c3ccc4c0f1ef7e46201aa
I removed the where clause and the limit count error was hit again.
With the where clause the query unexpectedly works.
- Fix test outputs
Relevant PG commits:
-- 1349d2790b
-- f4c7c410ee
For multi_explain and multi_complex_count_distinct there were too many places
touched so I just added an alternative test output.
For the other tests I modified the problematic parts.
More PG16 compatibility commits are coming soon ...
* Rename RecostColumnarPaths to CostColumnarPaths
* Rename RecostColumnarIndexPath to CostColumnarIndexPath
* Reorder args of CostColumnarScan to align with other two costing functions
* Not adjust index scan start-up cost
* Rename ColumnarIndexScanAddTotalCost to ColumnarIndexScanAdditionalCost
* Reflect that index scan will at least read one stripe in totalCost calculation
* Organize declarations in columnar_customscan.c
Allow ColumnarScans to push down join quals by generating
parameterized paths. This significantly expands the utility of chunk
group filtering, making a ColumnarScan behave similar to an index when
on the inner of a nested loop join.
Also, evaluate all parameters on beginscan/rescan, which also works
for external parameters.
Fixes#4488.
