* TABLESAMPLE, SQL Standard and extensibleSimon Riggs2015-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a TABLESAMPLE clause to SELECT statements that allows user to specify random BERNOULLI sampling or block level SYSTEM sampling. Implementation allows for extensible sampling functions to be written, using a standard API. Basic version follows SQLStandard exactly. Usable concrete use cases for the sampling API follow in later commits. Petr Jelinek Reviewed by Michael Paquier and Simon Riggs
* Allow foreign tables to participate in inheritance.Tom Lane2015-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks. As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops for most. An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified in EXPLAIN output, for example: Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46) Update on pt1 Foreign Update on ft1 Foreign Update on ft2 Update on child3 -> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46) This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL" fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables are involved.

* Fix another oversight in CustomScan patch.Tom Lane2014-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | execCurrent.c's search_plan_tree() must recognize a CustomScan on the target relation. This would only be helpful for custom providers that support CurrentOfExpr quals, which is probably a bit far-fetched, but it's not impossible I think. But even without assuming that, we need to recognize a scanned-relation match so that we will properly throw error if the desired relation is being scanned with both a CustomScan and a regular scan (ie, self-join). Also recognize ForeignScanState for similar reasons. Supporting WHERE CURRENT OF on a foreign table is probably even more far-fetched than it is for custom scans, but I think in principle you could do it with postgres_fdw (or another FDW that supports the ctid column). This would be a back-patchable bug fix if existing FDWs handled CurrentOfExpr, but I doubt any do so I won't bother back-patching.

* Rearrange the implementation of index-only scans.Tom Lane2011-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes index-only scans so that data is read directly from the index tuple without first generating a faux heap tuple. The only immediate benefit is that indexes on system columns (such as OID) can be used in index-only scans, but this is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to support index-only scans on expression indexes. The executor is now ready for that, though the planner still needs substantial work to recognize the possibility. To do this, Vars in index-only plan nodes have to refer to index columns not heap columns. I introduced a new special varno, INDEX_VAR, to mark such Vars to avoid confusion. (In passing, this commit renames the two existing special varnos to OUTER_VAR and INNER_VAR.) This allows ruleutils.c to handle them with logic similar to what we use for subplan reference Vars. Since index-only scans are now fundamentally different from regular indexscans so far as their expression subtrees are concerned, I also chose to change them to have their own plan node type (and hence, their own executor source file).

* Support MergeAppend plans, to allow sorted output from append relations.Tom Lane2010-10-14
| | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates the former need to sort the output of an Append scan when an ordered scan of an inheritance tree is wanted. This should be particularly useful for fast-start cases such as queries with LIMIT. Original patch by Greg Stark, with further hacking by Hans-Jurgen Schonig, Robert Haas, and Tom Lane.

* Fix WHERE CURRENT OF to work as designed within plpgsql. The argumentTom Lane2009-11-09
| | | | | | | can be the name of a plpgsql cursor variable, which formerly was converted to $N before the core parser saw it, but that's no longer the case. Deal with plain name references to plpgsql variables, and add a regression test case that exposes the failure.
* Add support for invoking parser callback hooks via SPI and in cached plans.Tom Lane2009-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | As proof of concept, modify plpgsql to use the hooks. plpgsql is still inserting $n symbols textually, but the "back end" of the parsing process now goes through the ParamRef hook instead of using a fixed parameter-type array, and then execution only fetches actually-referenced parameters, using a hook added to ParamListInfo. Although there's a lot left to be done in plpgsql, this already cures the "if (TG_OP = 'INSERT' and NEW.foo ...)" problem, as illustrated by the changed regression test.
* Re-implement EvalPlanQual processing to improve its performance and eliminateTom Lane2009-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a lot of strange behaviors that occurred in join cases. We now identify the "current" row for every joined relation in UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries. If an EvalPlanQual recheck is necessary, we jam the appropriate row into each scan node in the rechecking plan, forcing it to emit only that one row. The former behavior could rescan the whole of each joined relation for each recheck, which was terrible for performance, and what's much worse could result in duplicated output tuples. Also, the original implementation of EvalPlanQual could not re-use the recheck execution tree --- it had to go through a full executor init and shutdown for every row to be tested. To avoid this overhead, I've associated a special runtime Param with each LockRows or ModifyTable plan node, and arranged to make every scan node below such a node depend on that Param. Thus, by signaling a change in that Param, the EPQ machinery can just rescan the already-built test plan. This patch also adds a prohibition on set-returning functions in the targetlist of SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE. This is needed to avoid the duplicate-output-tuple problem. It seems fairly reasonable since the other restrictions on SELECT FOR UPDATE are meant to ensure that there is a unique correspondence between source tuples and result tuples, which an output SRF destroys as much as anything else does.
* Move the handling of SELECT FOR UPDATE locking and rechecking out ofTom Lane2009-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | execMain.c and into a new plan node type LockRows. Like the recent change to put table updating into a ModifyTable plan node, this increases planning flexibility by allowing the operations to occur below the top level of the plan tree. It's necessary in any case to restore the previous behavior of having FOR UPDATE locking occur before ModifyTable does. This partially refactors EvalPlanQual to allow multiple rows-under-test to be inserted into the EPQ machinery before starting an EPQ test query. That isn't sufficient to fix EPQ's general bogosity in the face of plans that return multiple rows per test row, though. Since this patch is mostly about getting some plan node infrastructure in place and not about fixing ten-year-old bugs, I will leave EPQ improvements for another day. Another behavioral change that we could now think about is doing FOR UPDATE before LIMIT, but that too seems like it should be treated as a followon patch.

| | | | | | | locate the target row, if the cursor was declared with FOR UPDATE or FOR SHARE. This approach is more flexible and reliable than digging through the plan tree; for instance it can cope with join cursors. But we still provide the old code for use with non-FOR-UPDATE cursors. Per gripe from Robert Haas.
* Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera2008-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane2008-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane

* Improve UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF so that they can be used from plpgsqlTom Lane2007-06-11
| | | | | | | with a plpgsql-defined cursor. The underlying mechanism for this is that the main SQL engine will now take "WHERE CURRENT OF $n" where $n is a refcursor parameter. Not sure if we should document that fact or consider it an implementation detail. Per discussion with Pavel Stehule.
* Support UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name, per SQL standard.Tom Lane2007-06-11
Along the way, allow FOR UPDATE in non-WITH-HOLD cursors; there may once have been a reason to disallow that, but it seems to work now, and it's really rather necessary if you want to select a row via a cursor and then update it in a concurrent-safe fashion. Original patch by Arul Shaji, rather heavily editorialized by Tom Lane.
