* Fix a couple of bugs in recent parallelism-related commits.Robert Haas2015-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 816e336f12ecabdc834d4cc31bcf966b2dd323dc added the wrong error check to async.c; sending restrictions is restricted to the leader, not altogether unsafe. Commit 3bd909b220930f21d6e15833a17947be749e7fde added ExecShutdownNode to traverse the planstate tree and call shutdown functions, but made a Gather node, the only node that actually has such a function, abort the tree traversal, which is wrong.
* Add a Gather executor node.Robert Haas2015-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A Gather executor node runs any number of copies of a plan in an equal number of workers and merges all of the results into a single tuple stream. It can also run the plan itself, if the workers are unavailable or haven't started up yet. It is intended to work with the Partial Seq Scan node which will be added in future commits. It could also be used to implement parallel query of a different sort by itself, without help from Partial Seq Scan, if the single_copy mode is used. In that mode, a worker executes the plan, and the parallel leader does not, merely collecting the worker's results. So, a Gather node could be inserted into a plan to split the execution of that plan across two processes. Nested Gather nodes aren't currently supported, but we might want to add support for that in the future. There's nothing in the planner to actually generate Gather nodes yet, so it's not quite time to break out the champagne. But we're getting close. Amit Kapila. Some designs suggestions were provided by me, and I also reviewed the patch. Single-copy mode, documentation, and other minor changes also by me.
* 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

* 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).

* Make EXPLAIN ANALYZE report the numbers of rows rejected by filter steps.Tom Lane2011-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides information about the numbers of tuples that were visited but not returned by table scans, as well as the numbers of join tuples that were considered and discarded within a join plan node. There is still some discussion going on about the best way to report counts for outer-join situations, but I think most of what's in the patch would not change if we revise that, so I'm going to go ahead and commit it as-is. Documentation changes to follow (they weren't in the submitted patch either). Marko Tiikkaja, reviewed by Marc Cousin, somewhat revised by Tom

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | relation using the general PARAM_EXEC executor parameter mechanism, rather than the ad-hoc kluge of passing the outer tuple down through ExecReScan. The previous method was hard to understand and could never be extended to handle parameters coming from multiple join levels. This patch doesn't change the set of possible plans nor have any significant performance effect, but it's necessary infrastructure for future generalization of the concept of an inner indexscan plan. ExecReScan's second parameter is now unused, so it's removed.

* Add an EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) option to show buffer-usage statistics.Robert Haas2009-12-15

* 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.
* Split the processing of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations out of execMain.c.Tom Lane2009-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | They are now handled by a new plan node type called ModifyTable, which is placed at the top of the plan tree. In itself this change doesn't do much, except perhaps make the handling of RETURNING lists and inherited UPDATEs a tad less klugy. But it is necessary preparation for the intended extension of allowing RETURNING queries inside WITH. Marko Tiikkaja

* Implement SQL-standard WITH clauses, including WITH RECURSIVE.Tom Lane2008-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL (should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses. These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a pretty useful feature. There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles, which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land the patch now so we can get on with other development.

| | | | | | | | | parent query's EState. Now that there's a single flat rangetable for both the main plan and subplans, there's no need anymore for a separate EState, and removing it allows cleaning up some crufty code in nodeSubplan.c and nodeSubqueryscan.c. Should be a tad faster too, although any difference will probably be hard to measure. This is the last bit of subsidiary mop-up work from changing to a flat rangetable.

This will allow Sort and Material nodes, and perhaps later other nodes, to avoid unnecessary overhead in common cases. This commit just adds the infrastructure and arranges to pass the correct flag values down to plan nodes; none of the actual optimizations are here yet. I'm committing this separately in case anyone wants to measure the added overhead. (It should be negligible.) Simon Riggs and Tom Lane

* Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway2004-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
