Table-rewriting operations (VACUUM FULL, CLUSTER, ALTER TABLE rewrites, REPACK and REPACK CONCURRENTLY) did not carry over each row's ROWID sequence number, breaking the feature's promise of a stable row identifier: - rebuilt tuples (e.g. after dropping a column) lost the ROWID stored in the old tuple header, leaving every row with the degenerate value (oid, 0); - ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPE re-assigned fresh sequence numbers through heap_insert(), silently invalidating cached ROWIDs; - a subsequent VACUUM FULL left the implicit rowid btree index with N identical (oid, 0) keys. Fix by preserving the old tuple's ROWID in every rewrite path: - heap_prepare_insert() only assigns a fresh sequence value when the incoming tuple does not already carry a valid ROWID; - reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and heap_insert_for_repack() copy the old ROWID onto the rebuilt tuple; - ATRewriteTable() copies the old ROWID onto the rebuilt tuple before inserting it into the new heap; - copy_table_data() makes the new heap inherit the old heap's rowid sequence so concurrent catch-up inserts still get fresh ROWIDs. Add an ora_rowid_rewrite regression test covering VACUUM FULL (with and without tuple reform), CLUSTER, ALTER COLUMN TYPE, cached-RID lookups after rewrites, insert-after-rewrite sequence continuity, and REPACK. Fixes IvorySQL#2151

Add concurrent REPACK ROWID coverage. The SQL test only runs non-concurrent repack t_rw2 and does not insert after it. Add REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) followed by an insert, then assert that existing ROWIDs remain stable and the inserted row receives the next ROWID. A write during the copy or catch-up phase requires a separate multi-session injection-point test. Update the expected SQL output.

Fixes #2151.
Table-rewriting operations currently do not carry over each row's ROWID sequence number, breaking the core promise of the ROWID feature (a stable row identifier, unlike
ctid). After a rewrite:VACUUM FULL/CLUSTERrebuilds dropped-column tuples from their column values, losing the ROWID stored in the old tuple header — every row then reports the degenerate(oid, 0);ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPEre-assigns fresh sequence numbers viaheap_insert(), silently invalidating any ROWIDs applications may have cached;All three paths violate the documented Oracle-compatible semantics that a row keeps its ROWID for its lifetime.
Root cause
The insert path assigns the sequence value per row (
heap_prepare_insert()), and the UPDATE/index-key paths deliberately preserve it — but the table-rewrite paths have no ROWID handling at all:reform_tuple()→rewrite_heap_tuple()(VACUUM FULL / CLUSTER / non-concurrent REPACK): reformed tuples are rebuilt withheap_form_tuple(), leaving the header's ROWID field zeroed.ATRewriteTable()(ALTER TABLE phase 3): rebuilt tuples go throughtable_tuple_insert(), whereheap_prepare_insert()unconditionally stamps a freshnextval().heap_insert_for_repack()) and catch-up inserts suffer the same two problems, and the new heap never inherits the rowid sequence.Changes
src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c—heap_prepare_insert(): only assign a fresh sequence value when the incoming tuple does not already carry a valid ROWID (>0). Tuples moved over by a rewrite keep their existing ROWID; freshly formed tuples (rowid 0) are unaffected.src/backend/access/heap/heapam_handler.c:reform_and_rewrite_tuple(): copy the old tuple's ROWID into the rebuilt tuple (covers VACUUM FULL / CLUSTER / non-concurrent REPACK);heap_insert_for_repack(): same preservation for the REPACK CONCURRENTLY initial-copy path.src/backend/commands/repack.c—copy_table_data(): the new heap inherits the old heap's rowid sequence so concurrent catch-up inserts receive fresh ROWIDs while preserved values are not re-stamped.src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c—ATRewriteTable(): before inserting a rebuilt tuple, copy the old tuple's ROWID onto the new heap tuple (works together with theheap_prepare_insert()change so the value is not overwritten).ora_rowid_rewritetest (VACUUM FULL incl. dropped-column reform, CLUSTER, ALTER COLUMN TYPE, cached-RID lookup after rewrites, insert-after-rewrite sequence continuity, plain REPACK), registered inserial_schedule.Verification
