* postgres_fdw: Third attempt to stabilize regression tests.Robert Haas2018-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1bc0100d270e5bcc980a0629b8726a32a497e788 added this test, and commit 882ea509fe7a4711fe25463427a33262b873dfa1 tried to stabilize it. There were still failures, so commit 958e20e42d6c346ab89f6c72e4262230161d1663 tried again to stabilize it. That approach is still failing on jaguarundi, though, so back it out and try something else. Specifically, instead of disabling remote estimates for the table in question, let's tell autovacuum to leave it alone. Etsuro Fujita Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/5A82DCCE.3060107@lab.ntt.co.jp

* postgres_fdw: Push down UPDATE/DELETE joins to remote servers.Robert Haas2018-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0bf3ae88af330496517722e391e7c975e6bad219 allowed direct foreign table modification; instead of fetching each row, updating it locally, and then pushing the modification back to the remote side, we would instead do all the work on the remote server via a single remote UPDATE or DELETE command. However, that commit only enabled this optimization when join tree consisted only of the target table. This change allows the same optimization when an UPDATE statement has a FROM clause or a DELETE statement has a USING clause. This works much like ordinary foreign join pushdown, in that the tables must be on the same remote server, relevant parts of the query must be pushdown-safe, and so forth.

* postgres_fdw: Avoid 'outer pathkeys do not match mergeclauses' error.Robert Haas2018-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When pushing down a join to a foreign server, postgres_fdw constructs an alternative plan to be used for any EvalPlanQual rechecks that prove to be necessary. This plan is stored as the outer subplan of the Foreign Scan implementing the pushed-down join. Previously, this alternative plan could have a different nominal sort ordering than its parent, which seemed OK since there will only be one tuple per base table anyway in the case of an EvalPlanQual recheck. Actually, though, it caused a problem if that path was used as a building block for the EvalPlanQual recheck plan of a higher-level foreign join, because we could end up with a merge join one of whose inputs was not labelled with the correct sort order. Repair by injecting an extra Sort node into the EvalPlanQual recheck plan whenever it would otherwise fail to be sorted at least as well as its parent Foreign Scan. Report by Jeff Janes. Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane, who also provided the test case and comment text. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1y2G8VOVBHv3iXU2TMAj7-RyBFFW1uhkr5sm9LQ2=X35g@mail.gmail.com
* Fix postgres_fdw to cope with duplicate GROUP BY entries.Tom Lane2018-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7012b132d, which added the ability to push down aggregates and grouping to the remote server, wasn't careful to ensure that the remote server would have the same idea we do about which columns are the grouping columns, in cases where there are textually identical GROUP BY expressions. Such cases typically led to "targetlist item has multiple sortgroupref labels" errors. To fix this reliably, switch over to using "GROUP BY column-number" syntax rather than "GROUP BY expression" in transmitted queries, and adjust foreign_grouping_ok() to be more careful about duplicating the sortgroupref labeling of the local pathtarget.

* postgres_fdw: Judge password use by run-as user, not session user.Robert Haas2017-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a backward incompatibility which should be noted in the release notes for PostgreSQL 11. For security reasons, we require that a postgres_fdw foreign table use password authentication when accessing a remote server, so that an unprivileged user cannot usurp the server's credentials. Superusers are exempt from this requirement, because we assume they are entitled to usurp the server's credentials or, at least, can find some other way to do it. But what should happen when the foreign table is accessed by a view owned by a user different from the session user? Is it the view owner that must be a superuser in order to avoid the requirement of using a password, or the session user? Historically it was the latter, but this requirement makes it the former instead. This allows superusers to delegate to other users the right to select from a foreign table that doesn't use password authentication by creating a view over the foreign table and handing out rights to the view. It is also more consistent with the idea that access to a view should use the view owner's privileges rather than the session user's privileges. The upshot of this change is that a superuser selecting from a view created by a non-superuser may now get an error complaining that no password was used, while a non-superuser selecting from a view created by a superuser will no longer receive such an error. No documentation changes are present in this patch because the wording of the documentation already suggests that it works this way. We should perhaps adjust the documentation in the back-branches, but that's a task for another patch. Originally proposed by Jeff Janes, but with different semantics; adjusted to work like this by me per discussion.

* Fix creation of resjunk tlist entries for inherited mixed UPDATE/DELETE.Tom Lane2017-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's target table. That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree would necessarily be plain tables. However, the 9.5 feature addition allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping. This led to visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods other than CTID for row identification. To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already mapped) tlist for each child table. We can conveniently call it from preprocess_targetlist. Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during preprocess_targetlist. (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't. But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs, which is more pain than it's worth.) Also fix ExecModifyTable to ensure that "tupleid" is reset to NULL when we transition from rows providing a CTID to rows that don't. (That's really an independent bug, but it manifests in much the same cases.) Add a regression test checking one manifestation of this problem, which was that row-level triggers on a foreign child table did not work right. Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

* Basic partition-wise join functionality.Robert Haas2017-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of joining two partitioned tables in their entirety we can, if it is an equi-join on the partition keys, join the matching partitions individually. This involves teaching the planner about "other join" rels, which are related to regular join rels in the same way that other member rels are related to baserels. This can use significantly more CPU time and memory than regular join planning, because there may now be a set of "other" rels not only for every base relation but also for every join relation. In most practical cases, this probably shouldn't be a problem, because (1) it's probably unusual to join many tables each with many partitions using the partition keys for all joins and (2) if you do that scenario then you probably have a big enough machine to handle the increased memory cost of planning and (3) the resulting plan is highly likely to be better, so what you spend in planning you'll make up on the execution side. All the same, for now, turn this feature off by default. Currently, we can only perform joins between two tables whose partitioning schemes are absolutely identical. It would be nice to cope with other scenarios, such as extra partitions on one side or the other with no match on the other side, but that will have to wait for a future patch.

* When WCOs are present, disable direct foreign table modification.Robert Haas2017-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user modifies a view that has CHECK OPTIONs and this gets translated into a modification to an underlying relation which happens to be a foreign table, the check options should be enforced. In the normal code path, that was happening properly, but it was not working properly for "direct" modification because the whole operation gets pushed to the remote side in that case and we never have an option to enforce the constraint against individual tuples. Fix by disabling direct modification when there is a need to enforce CHECK OPTIONs. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and by me.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Fix low-probability leaks of PGresult objects in the backend.Tom Lane2017-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection without blocking. In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult object. Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results in a process-lifespan memory leak. One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails. But we might as well fix it. The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying about. Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR), providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult. Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a few other places in postgres_fdw. Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput. Back-patch to all supported versions as appropriate (9.2 lacks postgres_fdw, so this is really quite unexciting for that branch). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/22620.1497486981@sss.pgh.pa.us

* postgres_fdw: Allow cancellation of transaction control commands.Robert Haas2017-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f039eaac7131ef2a4cf63a10cf98486f8bcd09d2, later back-patched with commit 1b812afb0eafe125b820cc3b95e7ca03821aa675, allowed many of the queries issued by postgres_fdw to fetch remote data to respond to cancel interrupts in a timely fashion. However, it didn't do anything about the transaction control commands, which remained noninterruptible. Improve the situation by changing do_sql_command() to retrieve query results using pgfdw_get_result(), which uses the asynchronous interface to libpq so that it can check for interrupts every time libpq returns control. Since this might result in a situation where we can no longer be sure that the remote transaction state matches the local transaction state, add a facility to force all levels of the local transaction to abort if we've lost track of the remote state; without this, an apparently-successful commit of the local transaction might fail to commit changes made on the remote side. Also, add a 60-second timeout for queries issue during transaction abort; if that expires, give up and mark the state of the connection as unknown. Drop all such connections when we exit the local transaction. Together, these changes mean that if we're aborting the local toplevel transaction anyway, we can just drop the remote connection in lieu of waiting (possibly for a very long time) for it to complete an abort. This still leaves quite a bit of room for improvement. PQcancel() has no asynchronous interface, so if we get stuck sending the cancel request we'll still hang. Also, PQsetnonblocking() is not used, which means we could block uninterruptibly when sending a query. There might be some other optimizations possible as well. Nonetheless, this allows us to escape a wait for an unresponsive remote server quickly in many more cases than previously. Report by Suraj Kharage. Patch by me and Rafia Sabih.

* Don't explicitly mark range partitioning columns NOT NULL.Robert Haas2017-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seemed like a good idea originally because there's no way to mark a range partition as accepting NULL, but that now seems more like a current limitation than something we want to lock down for all time. For example, there's a proposal to add the notion of a default partition which accepts all rows not otherwise routed, which directly conflicts with the idea that a range-partitioned table should never allow nulls anywhere. So let's change this while we still can, by putting the NOT NULL test into the partition constraint instead of changing the column properties.

* postgres_fdw: Fix join push down with extensionsPeter Eisentraut2017-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Objects in an extension are shippable to a foreign server if the extension is part of the foreign server definition's shippable extensions list. But this was not properly considered in some cases when checking whether a join condition can be pushed to a foreign server and the join condition uses an object from a shippable extension. So the join would never be pushed down in those cases. So, the list of extensions needs to be made available in fpinfo of the relation being considered to be pushed down before any expressions are assessed for being shippable. Fix foreign_join_ok() to do that for a join relation. The code to save FDW options in fpinfo is scattered at multiple places. Bring all of that together into functions apply_server_options(), apply_table_options(), and merge_fdw_options(). David Rowley and Ashutosh Bapat, per report from David Rowley
* Simplify handling of remote-qual pass-forward in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2017-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0bf3ae88a encountered a need to pass the finally chosen remote qual conditions forward from postgresGetForeignPlan to postgresPlanDirectModify. It solved that by sticking them into the plan node's fdw_private list, which in hindsight was a pretty bad idea. In the first place, there's no use for those qual trees either in EXPLAIN or execution; indeed they could never safely be used for any post-planning purposes, because they would not get processed by setrefs.c. So they're just dead weight to carry around in the finished plan tree, plus being an attractive nuisance for somebody who might get the idea that they could be used that way. Secondly, because those qual trees (sometimes) contained RestrictInfos, they created a plan-transmission hazard for parallel query, which is how come we noticed a problem. We dealt with that symptom in commit 28b047875, but really a more straightforward and more efficient fix is to pass the data through in a new field of struct PgFdwRelationInfo. So do it that way. (There's no need to revert 28b047875, as it has sufficient reason to live anyway.) Per fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87tw5x4vcu.fsf@credativ.de
* Handle restriction clause lists more uniformly in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2017-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clauses in the lists retained by postgres_fdw during planning were sometimes bare boolean clauses, sometimes RestrictInfos, and sometimes a mixture of the two in the same list. The comment about that situation didn't come close to telling the full truth, either. Aside from being confusing, this had a couple of bad practical consequences: * waste of planning cycles due to inability to cache per-clause selectivity and cost estimates; * sometimes, RestrictInfos would sneak into the fdw_private list of a finished Plan node, causing failures if, for example, we tried to ship the Plan tree to a parallel worker. (It may well be that it's a bug in the parallel-query logic that we would ever try to ship such a plan to a parallel worker, but in any case this deserves to be cleaned up.) To fix, rearrange so that clause lists in PgFdwRelationInfo are always lists of RestrictInfos, and then strip the RestrictInfos at the last minute when making a Plan node. In passing do a bit of refactoring and comment cleanup in postgresGetForeignPlan and foreign_join_ok. Although the messiness here dates back at least to 9.6, there's no evidence that it causes anything worse than wasted planning cycles in 9.6, so no back-patch for now.

* Improve castNode notation by introducing list-extraction-specific variants.Tom Lane2017-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way. As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching. Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.

* Optimize joins when the inner relation can be proven unique.Tom Lane2017-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there can certainly be no more than one matching inner row for a given outer row, then the executor can move on to the next outer row as soon as it's found one match; there's no need to continue scanning the inner relation for this outer row. This saves useless scanning in nestloop and hash joins. In merge joins, it offers the opportunity to skip mark/restore processing, because we know we have not advanced past the first possible match for the next outer row. Of course, the devil is in the details: the proof of uniqueness must depend only on joinquals (not otherquals), and if we want to skip mergejoin mark/restore then it must depend only on merge clauses. To avoid adding more planning overhead than absolutely necessary, the present patch errs in the conservative direction: there are cases where inner_unique or skip_mark_restore processing could be used, but it will not do so because it's not sure that the uniqueness proof depended only on "safe" clauses. This could be improved later. David Rowley, reviewed and rather heavily editorialized on by me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAApHDvqF6Sw-TK98bW48TdtFJ+3a7D2mFyZ7++=D-RyPsL76gw@mail.gmail.com

* Abstract logic to allow for multiple kinds of child rels.Robert Haas2017-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the only type of child relation is an "other member rel", which is the child of a baserel, but in the future joins and even upper relations may have child rels. To facilitate that, introduce macros that test to test for particular RelOptKind values, and use them in various places where they help to clarify the sense of a test. (For example, a test may allow RELOPT_OTHER_MEMBER_REL either because it intends to allow child rels, or because it intends to allow simple rels.) Also, remove find_childrel_top_parent, which will not work for a child rel that is not a baserel. Instead, add a new RelOptInfo member top_parent_relids to track the same kind of information in a more generic manner. Ashutosh Bapat, slightly tweaked by me.

* Support hashed aggregation with grouping sets.Andrew Gierth2017-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the Aggregate node with two new features: HashAggregate can now run multiple hashtables concurrently, and a new strategy MixedAggregate populates hashtables while doing sorted grouping. The planner will now attempt to save as many sorts as possible when planning grouping sets queries, while not exceeding work_mem for the estimated combined sizes of all hashtables used. No SQL-level changes are required. There should be no user-visible impact other than the new EXPLAIN output and possible changes to result ordering when ORDER BY was not used (which affected a few regression tests). The enable_hashagg option is respected. Author: Andrew Gierth Reviewers: Mark Dilger, Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87vatszyhj.fsf@news-spur.riddles.org.uk
* Faster expression evaluation and targetlist projection.Andres Freund2017-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation. Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation. This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier. The speed gains primarily come from: - non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead - simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without function calls - sharing some state between different sub-expressions - reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of nearly all of the previously used linked lists - more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding constant re-checks at evaluation time Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation. The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.: - basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared statements. That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where initialization overhead is measurable. - optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential work has already been made. - optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have been made here too. The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some backward-incompatible changes: - Function permission checks are now done during expression initialization, whereas previously they were done during execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a different array type previously didn't perform checks. - The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once during expression initialization, previously it was re-built every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer. The behavior around might still change.
