PG 14 - can't upgrade from a database using an aggregate with anyelement and anyarray

[Thomas Kellerer <shammat@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

this aggregate can be created without problems on PG 13 and before:

  CREATE AGGREGATE array_accum(anyelement) (
      SFUNC = array_append,
      STYPE = anyarray,
      INITCOND = '{}'
  );

However, that fails with PG 14beta1 because array_append's parameter are now (anycompatiblearray, anycompatible) while it used to be (anyarray, anyelement).

I guess this is a side-effect of:

On a database with the above aggregate, pg_upgrade fails with the following error:

    pg_restore: creating AGGREGATE "public.array_accum("anyelement")"
    pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC:
    pg_restore: from TOC entry 2646; 1255 16552 AGGREGATE array_accum("anyelement") thomas
    pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR:  function array_append(anyarray, anyelement) does not exist
    Command was: CREATE AGGREGATE "public"."array_accum"("anyelement") (
        SFUNC = "array_append",
        STYPE = "anyarray",
        INITCOND = '{}'
    );

The problem is, that the version that works in PG 14:

  CREATE AGGREGATE array_accum(anycompatible) (
      SFUNC = array_append,
      STYPE = anycompatiblearray,
      INITCOND = '{}'
  );

can't be created in PG 13 in preparation of the upgrade.

So the database can't be upgraded using pg_upgrade.

I am using PG14beta1 on Windows 10

Any ideas?
