* Rename files and headers related to index AMMichael Paquier2019-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following renaming is done so as source files related to index access methods are more consistent with table access methods (the original names used for index AMs ware too generic, and could be confused as including features related to table AMs): - amapi.h -> indexam.h. - amapi.c -> indexamapi.c. Here we have an equivalent with backend/access/table/tableamapi.c. - amvalidate.c -> indexamvalidate.c. - amvalidate.h -> indexamvalidate.h. - genam.c -> indexgenam.c. - genam.h -> indexgenam.h. This has been discussed during the development of v12 when table AM was worked on, but the renaming never happened.

* Split tuptoaster.c into three separate files.Robert Haas2019-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | detoast.c/h contain functions required to detoast a datum, partially or completely, plus a few other utility functions for examining the size of toasted datums. toast_internals.c/h contain functions that are used internally to the TOAST subsystem but which (mostly) do not need to be accessed from outside. heaptoast.c/h contains code that is intrinsically specific to the heap AM, either because it operates on HeapTuples or is based on the layout of a heap page. detoast.c and toast_internals.c are placed in src/backend/access/common rather than src/backend/access/heap. At present, both files still have dependencies on the heap, but that will be improved in a future commit.

* Avoid using lcons and list_delete_first where it's easy to do so.Tom Lane2019-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, lcons was about the same speed as lappend, but with the new List implementation, that's not so; with a long List, data movement imposes an O(N) cost on lcons and list_delete_first, but not lappend. Hence, invent list_delete_last with semantics parallel to list_delete_first (but O(1) cost), and change various places to use lappend and list_delete_last where this can be done without much violence to the code logic. There are quite a few places that construct result lists using lcons not lappend. Some have semantic rationales for that; I added comments about it to a couple that didn't have them already. In many such places though, I think the coding is that way only because back in the dark ages lcons was faster than lappend. Hence, switch to lappend where this can be done without causing semantic changes. In ExecInitExprRec(), this results in aggregates and window functions that are in the same plan node being executed in a different order than before. Generally, the executions of such functions ought to be independent of each other, so this shouldn't result in visibly different query results. But if you push it, as one regression test case does, you can show that the order is different. The new order seems saner; it's closer to the order of the functions in the query text. And we never documented or promised anything about this, anyway. Also, in gistfinishsplit(), don't bother building a reverse-order list; it's easy now to iterate backwards through the original list. It'd be possible to go further towards removing uses of lcons and list_delete_first, but it'd require more extensive logic changes, and I'm not convinced it's worth it. Most of the remaining uses deal with queues that probably never get long enough to be worth sweating over. (Actually, I doubt that any of the changes in this patch will have measurable performance effects either. But better to have good examples than bad ones in the code base.) Patch by me, thanks to David Rowley and Daniel Gustafsson for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21272.1563318411@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Allow pg_class xid & multixid horizons to not be set.Andres Freund2019-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows table AMs that don't need these horizons. This was already documented in the tableam relation_set_new_filenode callback, but an assert prevented if from actually working (the test AM code contained the change itself). Defang the asserts in the general code, and move the stronger ones into heap AM. Relatedly, after CLUSTER/VACUUM, we'd always assign a relfrozenxid / relminmxid. Change the table_relation_copy_for_cluster() interface to allow the AM to overwrite the horizons that get set on the pg_class entry. This'd also in the future allow AMs like heap to compute a relfrozenxid during rewrite that's the table's actual minimum rather than a pre-determined value. Arguably it'd have been better to move the whole computation / setting of those values into the callback, but it seems likely that for other reasons it'd be better to be able to use one value to vacuum/cluster multiple tables (e.g. a toast's horizon shouldn't be different than the table's).

* tableam: relation creation, VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER, SET TABLESPACE.Andres Freund2019-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the responsibility for: - creating the storage necessary for a relation, including creating a new relfilenode for a relation with existing storage - non-transactional truncation of a relation - VACUUM FULL / CLUSTER's rewrite of a table below tableam.

* tableam: Add and use scan APIs.Andres Freund2019-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several new abstractions are needed. Specifically: 1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from HeapScanDesc. The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been replaced with a table_ version. There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's table_scan_getnextslot(). But note that heap_getnext() lives on, it's still used widely to access catalog tables. This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan, scan_getnextslot callbacks. 2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize} callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs. As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented, block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate, intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc. 3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap). The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin, reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to retrieve an indexed tuple. Note that index_fetch_tuple implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if appropriate. Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext calls and working directly with HeapTuples). Index scans now store the result of a search in IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner. To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further callbacks have been introduced: a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign tables, etc. While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit also would have been needed to be adapted for table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile. b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a slot (which in heap's case internally has that information). Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed: I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with slots. The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

* tableam: introduce table AM infrastructure.Andres Freund2019-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces the concept of table access methods, i.e. CREATE ACCESS METHOD ... TYPE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... USING (storage-engine). No table access functionality is delegated to table AMs as of this commit, that'll be done in following commits. Subsequent commits will incrementally abstract table access functionality to be routed through table access methods. That change is too large to be reviewed & committed at once, so it'll be done incrementally. Docs will be updated at the end, as adding them incrementally would likely make them less coherent, and definitely is a lot more work, without a lot of benefit. Table access methods are specified similar to index access methods, i.e. pg_am.amhandler returns, as INTERNAL, a pointer to a struct with callbacks. In contrast to index AMs that struct needs to live as long as a backend, typically that's achieved by just returning a pointer to a constant struct. Psql's \d+ now displays a table's access method. That can be disabled with HIDE_TABLEAM=true, which is mainly useful so regression tests can be run against different AMs. It's quite possible that this behaviour still needs to be fine tuned. For now it's not allowed to set a table AM for a partitioned table, as we've not resolved how partitions would inherit that. Disallowing allows us to introduce, if we decide that's the way forward, such a behaviour without a compatibility break. Catversion bumped, to add the heap table AM and references to it.

* Refactor planner's header files.Tom Lane2019-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just what selfuncs.c should rely on. The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new #include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions", which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner. This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from other header files (a couple of which go away because everything got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all, but I'll leave that for another day.

* Don't include heapam.h from others headers.Andres Freund2019-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

* Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund2018-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

* Lower lock level for renaming indexesPeter Eisentraut2018-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change lock level for renaming index (either ALTER INDEX or implicitly via some other commands) from AccessExclusiveLock to ShareUpdateExclusiveLock. One reason we need a strong lock for relation renaming is that the name change causes a rebuild of the relcache entry. Concurrent sessions that have the relation open might not be able to handle the relcache entry changing underneath them. Therefore, we need to lock the relation in a way that no one can have the relation open concurrently. But for indexes, the relcache handles reloads specially in RelationReloadIndexInfo() in a way that keeps changes in the relcache entry to a minimum. As long as no one keeps pointers to rd_amcache and rd_options around across possible relcache flushes, which is the case, this ought to be safe. We also want to use a self-exclusive lock for correctness, so that concurrent DDL doesn't overwrite the rename if they start updating while still seeing the old version. Therefore, we use ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, which is already used by other DDL commands that want to operate in a concurrent manner. The reason this is interesting at all is that renaming an index is a typical part of a concurrent reindexing workflow (CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY new + DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY old + rename back). And indeed a future built-in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY might rely on the ability to do concurrent renames as well.

* Fast ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a non-NULL defaultAndrew Dunstan2018-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column (attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and so will never need the attmissingval. Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed. The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this argument. Andrew Dunstan, heavily modified from an original patch from Serge Rielau.

Those tables don't exist externally, so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that information. In ab28feae2bd3d4629bd73ae3548e671c57d785f0, we worked around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack. This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID. By default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the output plugin. Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the new field will help them get information about the actual table.

* Rename TransactionChain functionsPeter Eisentraut2018-03-16

* Support parallel btree index builds.Robert Haas2018-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make this work, tuplesort.c and logtape.c must also support parallelism, so this patch adds that infrastructure and then applies it to the particular case of parallel btree index builds. Testing to date shows that this can often be 2-3x faster than a serial index build. The model for deciding how many workers to use is fairly primitive at present, but it's better than not having the feature. We can refine it as we get more experience.

* Ignore partitioned indexes where appropriateAlvaro Herrera2018-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | get_relation_info() was too optimistic about opening indexes in partitioned tables, which would raise errors when any queries were planned on such tables. Fix by ignoring any indexes of the partitioned kind. CLUSTER (and ALTER TABLE CLUSTER ON) had a similar problem. Fix by disallowing these commands in partitioned tables. Fallout from 8b08f7d4820f.

* Update relation's stats in pg_class during vacuum full.Teodor Sigaev2017-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hash index depends on estimation of numbers of tuples and pages of relations, incorrect value could be a reason of significantly growing of index. Vacuum full recreates heap and reindex all indexes before renewal stats. The patch fixes that, so indexes will see correct values.

* 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.

* In rebuild_relation(), don't access an already-closed relcache entry.Tom Lane2017-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reliably fails with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as reported by Andrew Dunstan, and could sometimes fail in normal operation, resulting in a wrong persistence value being used for the transient table. It's not immediately clear to me what effects that might have beyond the risk of a crash while accessing OldHeap->rd_rel->relpersistence, but it's probably not good. Bug introduced by commit f41872d0c, and made substantially worse by commit 85b506bbf, which added a second such access significantly later than the heap_close. I doubt the first reference could fail in a production scenario, but the second one definitely could. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7b52f900-0579-cda9-ae2e-de5da17090e6@2ndQuadrant.com
* Fix CatalogTupleInsert/Update abstraction for case of shared indstate.Tom Lane2017-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo to let callers use the CatalogTupleXXX abstraction layer even in cases where we want to share the results of CatalogOpenIndexes across multiple inserts/updates for efficiency. This finishes the job begun in commit 2f5c9d9c9, by allowing some remaining simple_heap_insert/update calls to be replaced. The abstraction layer is now complete enough that we don't have to export CatalogIndexInsert at all anymore. Also, this fixes several places in which 2f5c9d9c9 introduced performance regressions by using retail CatalogTupleInsert or CatalogTupleUpdate even though the previous coding had been able to amortize CatalogOpenIndexes work across multiple tuples. A possible future improvement is to arrange for the indexing.c functions to cache the CatalogIndexState somewhere, maybe in the relcache, in which case we could get rid of CatalogTupleInsertWithInfo and CatalogTupleUpdateWithInfo again. But that's a task for another day. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/27502.1485981379@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Tweak catalog indexing abstraction for upcoming WARMAlvaro Herrera2017-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split the existing CatalogUpdateIndexes into two different routines, CatalogTupleInsert and CatalogTupleUpdate, which do both the heap insert/update plus the index update. This removes over 300 lines of boilerplate code all over src/backend/catalog/ and src/backend/commands. The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye. Also, by encapsulating what happens in detail during an UPDATE, this facilitates the upcoming WARM patch, which is going to add a few more lines to the update case making the boilerplate even more boring. The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use left, and since it's just three lines, we can as well expand it in place there. We could keep it, but WARM is going to break all the UPDATE out-of-core callsites anyway, so there seems to be no benefit in doing so.

* Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer.Tom Lane2016-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies, and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases. Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts; those two calls can be left as-is, I think. While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can gradually adopt the simplified notation over time. In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts. Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back. Discussion: <21072.1472321324@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Restructure index access method API to hide most of it at the C level.Tom Lane2016-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures. For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access methods in installable extensions. A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead. (Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.) We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but this patch doesn't do that. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, and rather heavily editorialized on by me.

* Change many routines to return ObjectAddress rather than OIDAlvaro Herrera2015-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The changed routines are mostly those that can be directly called by ProcessUtilitySlow; the intention is to make the affected object information more precise, in support for future event trigger changes. Originally it was envisioned that the OID of the affected object would be enough, and in most cases that is correct, but upon actually implementing the event trigger changes it turned out that ObjectAddress is more widely useful. Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument that's an object address which provides further info about the executed command. To wit: * for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of the new constraint * for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the schema that originally contained the object. * for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address of the object added to or dropped from the extension.
