In commit e2c2c2e8b1df7dfdb01e7e6f6191a569ce3c3195 I made use of nested
list structures to show which clauses went with which index columns, but
on reflection that's a data structure that only an old-line Lisp hacker
could love. Worse, it adds unnecessary complication to the many places
that don't much care which clauses go with which index columns. Revert
to the previous arrangement of flat lists of clauses, and instead add a
parallel integer list of column numbers. The places that care about the
pairing can chase both lists with forboth(), while the places that don't
care just examine one list the same as before.
The only real downside to this is that there are now two more lists that
need to be passed to amcostestimate functions in case they care about
column matching (which btcostestimate does, so not passing the info is not
an option). Rather than deal with 11-argument amcostestimate functions,
pass just the IndexPath and expect the functions to extract fields from it.
That gets us down to 7 arguments which is better than 11, and it seems
more future-proof against likely additions to the information we keep
about an index path.

As pointed out by Naoya Anzai, my previous try at this was a few bricks
shy of a load, because I had forgotten that the initial-positioning logic
might not try to skip over nulls at the end of the index the scan will
start from. We ought to fix that, because it represents an unnecessary
inefficiency, but first let's get the scan-stop logic back to a safe
state. With this patch, we preserve the performance benefit requested
in bug #6278 for the case of scanning forward into NULLs (in a NULLS
LAST index), but the reverse case of scanning backward across NULLs
when there's no suitable initial-positioning qual is still inefficient.

The existing scan-direction-sensitive tests were overly complex, and
failed to stop the scan in cases where it's perfectly legitimate to do so.
Per bug #6278 from Maksym Boguk.
Back-patch to 8.3, which is as far back as the patch applies easily.
Doesn't seem worth sweating over a relatively minor performance issue in
8.2 at this late date. (But note that this was a performance regression
from 8.1 and before, so 8.2 is being left as an outlier.)

This allows "indexedcol op ANY(ARRAY[...])" conditions to be used in plain
indexscans, and particularly in index-only scans.

We copy all the matched tuples off the page during _bt_readpage, instead of
expensively re-locking the page during each subsequent tuple fetch. This
costs a bit more local storage, but not more than 2*BLCKSZ worth, and the
reduction in LWLock traffic is certainly worth that. What's more, this
lets us get rid of the API wart in the original patch that said an index AM
could randomly decline to supply an index tuple despite having asserted
pg_am.amcanreturn. That will be important for future improvements in the
index-only-scan feature, since the executor will now be able to rely on
having the index data available.

Such a condition is unsatisfiable in combination with any other type of
btree-indexable condition (since we assume btree operators are always
strict). 8.3 and 8.4 had an explicit test for this, which I removed in
commit 29c4ad98293e3c5cb3fcdd413a3f4904efff8762, mistakenly thinking that
the case would be subsumed by the more general handling of IS (NOT) NULL
added in that patch. Put it back, and improve the comments about it, and
add a regression test case.
Per bug #6079 from Renat Nasyrov, and analysis by Dean Rasheed.

Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function,
FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in
cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need
different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData
instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp
not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original
method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive
patch...

indexscans would do the wrong thing if index_rescan() was called with a
NULL instead of a new set of scankeys and the index was DESC order,
because sk_strategy would not get flipped a second time. I think
that those provisions for a NULL argument are dead code now as far as the
core backend goes, but possibly somebody somewhere is still using it.
In any case, this refactoring seems clearer, and it's definitely shorter.

to be just a minor extension of the previous patch that made "x IS NULL"
indexable, because we can treat the IS NOT NULL condition as if it were
"x < NULL" or "x > NULL" (depending on the index's NULLS FIRST/LAST option),
just like IS NULL is treated like "x = NULL". Aside from any possible
usefulness in its own right, this is an important improvement for
index-optimized MAX/MIN aggregates: it is now reliably possible to get
a column's min or max value cheaply, even when there are a lot of nulls
cluttering the interesting end of the index.

friends). This code has all been ifdef'd out for many years, and doesn't
seem to have any prospect of becoming any more useful in the future.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE is what people use in practice, and I think if we did want
process-wide counters we'd be more likely to put in dtrace events for that
than try to resurrect this code. Get rid of it so as to have one less detail
to worry about while refactoring execMain.c.

corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including
certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just
relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less

unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.
For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.

corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the
whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to
SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure
macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care
of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method
for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem,
but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around.
Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1,
and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching
further.

than two independent bits (one of which was never used in heap pages anyway,
or at least hadn't been in a very long time). This gives us flexibility to
add the HOT notions of redirected and dead item pointers without requiring
anything so klugy as magic values of lp_off and lp_len. The state values
are chosen so that for the states currently in use (pre-HOT) there is no
change in the physical representation.

index types can be reliably distinguished by examining the special space
on an index page. Per my earlier proposal, plus the realization that
there's no need for btree's vacuum cycle ID to cycle through every possible
16-bit value. Restricting its range a little costs nearly nothing and
eliminates the possibility of collisions.
Memo to self: remember to make bitmap indexes play along with this scheme,
assuming that patch ever gets accepted.

If either of these "can't happen" errors actually happened, we'd freeze up
trying to acquire an already-held lock. Latest word is that this does
not explain Martin Pitt's trouble report, but it still looks like a bug.

per-column options for btree indexes. The planner's support for this is still
pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with
nondefault ordering options. The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too.
I'll work on improving that stuff later.
Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be
rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some
btree opclass. This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that
doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.

When we are about to split an index page to do an insertion, first look
to see if any entries marked LP_DELETE exist on the page, and if so remove
them to try to make enough space for the desired insert. This should reduce
index bloat in heavily-updated tables, although of course you still need
VACUUM eventually to clean up the heap.

discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed
opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less
random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c).
Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely
user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity
of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case
with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably
klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last.
Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync
with code.
Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in
catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

into a single mostly-physical-order scan of the index. This requires some
ticklish interlocking considerations, but should create no material
performance impact on normal index operations (at least given the
already-committed changes to make scans work a page at a time). VACUUM
itself should get significantly faster in any index that's degenerated to a
very nonlinear page order. Also, we save one pass over the index entirely,
except in the case where there were no deletions to do and so only one pass
happened anyway.

btgettuple and btgetmulti). This eliminates the problem of "re-finding" the
exact stopping point, since the stopping point is effectively always a page
boundary, and index items are never moved across pre-existing page boundaries.
A small penalty is that the keys_are_unique optimization is effectively
disabled (and, therefore, is removed in this patch), causing us to apply
_bt_checkkeys() to at least one more tuple than necessary when looking up a
unique key. However, the advantages for non-unique cases seem great enough to
accept this tradeoff. Aside from simplifying and (sometimes) speeding up the
indexscan code, this will allow us to reimplement btbulkdelete as a largely
sequential scan instead of index-order traversal, thereby significantly
reducing the cost of VACUUM. Those changes will come in a separate patch.

just refer to btree index entries as plain IndexTuples, which is what
they have been for a very long time. This is mostly just an exercise
in removing extraneous notation, but it does save a palloc/pfree cycle
per index insertion.

and non-required keys in a btree index scan, mark the required scankeys
with private flag bits SK_BT_REQFWD and/or SK_BT_REQBKWD. This seems
at least marginally clearer to me, and it eliminates a wired-into-the-
data-structure assumption that required keys are consecutive. Even though
that assumption will remain true for the foreseeable future, having it
in there makes the code seem more complex than necessary.

are two basically different kinds of scankeys, and we ought to try harder
to indicate which is used in each place in the code. I've chosen the names
"search scankey" and "insertion scankey", though you could make about
as good an argument for "operator scankey" and "comparison function
scankey".

it lets us skip performing the index key comparisons for dead tuples.
