* Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch2020-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY. Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain dropped relations until end of transaction. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). This introduces a new WAL record type, XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN, without bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. As always, update standby systems before master systems. This changes sizeof(RelationData) and sizeof(IndexStmt), breaking binary compatibility for affected extensions.

* Fix representation of hash keys in Hash/HashJoin nodes.Andres Freund2019-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 5f32b29c1819 I changed the creation of HashState.hashkeys to actually use HashState as the parent (instead of HashJoinState, which was incorrect, as they were executed below HashState), to fix the problem of hashkeys expressions otherwise relying on slot types appropriate for HashJoinState, rather than HashState as would be correct. That reliance was only introduced in 12, which is why it previously worked to use HashJoinState as the parent (although I'd be unsurprised if there were problematic cases). Unfortunately that's not a sufficient solution, because before this commit, the to-be-hashed expressions referenced inner/outer as appropriate for the HashJoin, not Hash. That didn't have obvious bad consequences, because the slots containing the tuples were put into ecxt_innertuple when hashing a tuple for HashState (even though Hash doesn't have an inner plan). There are less common cases where this can cause visible problems however (rather than just confusion when inspecting such executor trees). E.g. "ERROR: bogus varno: 65000", when explaining queries containing a HashJoin where the subsidiary Hash node's hash keys reference a subplan. While normally hashkeys aren't displayed by EXPLAIN, if one of those expressions references a subplan, that subplan may be printed as part of the Hash node - which then failed because an inner plan was referenced, and Hash doesn't have that. It seems quite possible that there's other broken cases, too. Fix the problem by properly splitting the expression for the HashJoin and Hash nodes at plan time, and have them reference the proper subsidiary node. While other workarounds are possible, fixing this correctly seems easy enough. It was a pretty ugly hack to have ExecInitHashJoin put the expression into the already initialized HashState, in the first place. I decided to not just split inner/outer hashkeys inside make_hashjoin(), but also to separate out hashoperators and hashcollations at plan time. Otherwise we would have ended up having two very similar loops, one at plan time and the other during executor startup. The work seems to more appropriately belong to plan time, anyway.

* Restructure creation of run-time pruning steps.Tom Lane2019-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, gen_partprune_steps() always built executor pruning steps using all suitable clauses, including those containing PARAM_EXEC Params. This meant that the pruning steps were only completely safe for executor run-time (scan start) pruning. To prune at executor startup, we had to ignore the steps involving exec Params. But this doesn't really work in general, since there may be logic changes needed as well --- for example, pruning according to the last operator's btree strategy is the wrong thing if we're not applying that operator. The rules embodied in gen_partprune_steps() and its minions are sufficiently complicated that tracking their incremental effects in other logic seems quite impractical. Short of a complete redesign, the only safe fix seems to be to run gen_partprune_steps() twice, once to create executor startup pruning steps and then again for run-time pruning steps. We can save a few cycles however by noting during the first scan whether we rejected any clauses because they involved exec Params --- if not, we don't need to do the second scan. In support of this, refactor the internal APIs in partprune.c to make more use of passing information in the GeneratePruningStepsContext struct, rather than as separate arguments. This is, I hope, the last piece of our response to a bug report from Alan Jackson. Back-patch to v11 where this code came in.

* Fix tablespace inheritance for partitioned relsAlvaro Herrera2019-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ca4103025dfe left a few loose ends. The most important one (broken pg_dump output) is already fixed by virtue of commit 3b23552ad8bb, but some things remained: * When ALTER TABLE rewrites tables, the indexes must remain in the tablespace they were originally in. This didn't work because index recreation during ALTER TABLE runs manufactured SQL (yuck), which runs afoul of default_tablespace in competition with the parent relation tablespace. To fix, reset default_tablespace to the empty string temporarily, and add the TABLESPACE clause as appropriate. * Setting a partitioned rel's tablespace to the database default is confusing; if it worked, it would direct the partitions to that tablespace regardless of default_tablespace. But in reality it does not work, and making it work is a larger project. Therefore, throw an error when this condition is detected, to alert the unwary. Add some docs and tests, too.

* Use Append rather than MergeAppend for scanning ordered partitions.Tom Lane2019-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we need ordered output from a scan of a partitioned table, but the ordering matches the partition ordering, then we don't need to use a MergeAppend to combine the pre-ordered per-partition scan results: a plain Append will produce the same results. This both saves useless comparison work inside the MergeAppend proper, and allows us to start returning tuples after istarting up just the first child node not all of them. However, all is not peaches and cream, because if some of the child nodes have high startup costs then there will be big discontinuities in the tuples-returned-versus-elapsed-time curve. The planner's cost model cannot handle that (yet, anyway). If we model the Append's startup cost as being just the first child's startup cost, we may drastically underestimate the cost of fetching slightly more tuples than are available from the first child. Since we've had bad experiences with over-optimistic choices of "fast start" plans for ORDER BY LIMIT queries, that seems scary. As a klugy workaround, set the startup cost estimate for an ordered Append to be the sum of its children's startup costs (as MergeAppend would). This doesn't really describe reality, but it's less likely to cause a bad plan choice than an underestimated startup cost would. In practice, the cases where we really care about this optimization will have child plans that are IndexScans with zero startup cost, so that the overly conservative estimate is still just zero.

* Collations with nondeterministic comparisonPeter Eisentraut2019-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a flag "deterministic" to collations. If that is false, such a collation disables various optimizations that assume that strings are equal only if they are byte-wise equal. That then allows use cases such as case-insensitive or accent-insensitive comparisons or handling of strings with different Unicode normal forms. This functionality is only supported with the ICU provider. At least glibc doesn't appear to have any locales that work in a nondeterministic way, so it's not worth supporting this for the libc provider. The term "deterministic comparison" in this context is from Unicode Technical Standard #10 (https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Deterministic_Comparison). This patch makes changes in three areas: - CREATE COLLATION DDL changes and system catalog changes to support this new flag. - Many executor nodes and auxiliary code are extended to track collations. Previously, this code would just throw away collation information, because the eventually-called user-defined functions didn't use it since they only cared about equality, which didn't need collation information. - String data type functions that do equality comparisons and hashing are changed to take the (non-)deterministic flag into account. For comparison, this just means skipping various shortcuts and tie breakers that use byte-wise comparison. For hashing, we first need to convert the input string to a canonical "sort key" using the ICU analogue of strxfrm().

* Allow ATTACH PARTITION with only ShareUpdateExclusiveLock.Robert Haas2019-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We still require AccessExclusiveLock on the partition itself, because otherwise an insert that violates the newly-imposed partition constraint could be in progress at the same time that we're changing that constraint; only the lock level on the parent relation is weakened. To make this safe, we have to cope with (at least) three separate problems. First, relevant DDL might commit while we're in the process of building a PartitionDesc. If so, find_inheritance_children() might see a new partition while the RELOID system cache still has the old partition bound cached, and even before invalidation messages have been queued. To fix that, if we see that the pg_class tuple seems to be missing or to have a null relpartbound, refetch the value directly from the table. We can't get the wrong value, because DETACH PARTITION still requires AccessExclusiveLock throughout; if we ever want to change that, this will need more thought. In testing, I found it quite difficult to hit even the null-relpartbound case; the race condition is extremely tight, but the theoretical risk is there. Second, successive calls to RelationGetPartitionDesc might not return the same answer. The query planner will get confused if lookup up the PartitionDesc for a particular relation does not return a consistent answer for the entire duration of query planning. Likewise, query execution will get confused if the same relation seems to have a different PartitionDesc at different times. Invent a new PartitionDirectory concept and use it to ensure consistency. This ensures that a single invocation of either the planner or the executor sees the same view of the PartitionDesc from beginning to end, but it does not guarantee that the planner and the executor see the same view. Since this allows pointers to old PartitionDesc entries to survive even after a relcache rebuild, also postpone removing the old PartitionDesc entry until we're certain no one is using it. For the most part, it seems to be OK for the planner and executor to have different views of the PartitionDesc, because the executor will just ignore any concurrently added partitions which were unknown at plan time; those partitions won't be part of the inheritance expansion, but invalidation messages will trigger replanning at some point. Normally, this happens by the time the very next command is executed, but if the next command acquires no locks and executes a prepared query, it can manage not to notice until a new transaction is started. We might want to tighten that up, but it's material for a separate patch. There would still be a small window where a query that started just after an ATTACH PARTITION command committed might fail to notice its results -- but only if the command starts before the commit has been acknowledged to the user. All in all, the warts here around serializability seem small enough to be worth accepting for the considerable advantage of being able to add partitions without a full table lock. Although in general the consequences of new partitions showing up between planning and execution are limited to the query not noticing the new partitions, run-time partition pruning will get confused in that case, so that's the third problem that this patch fixes. Run-time partition pruning assumes that indexes into the PartitionDesc are stable between planning and execution. So, add code so that if new partitions are added between plan time and execution time, the indexes stored in the subplan_map[] and subpart_map[] arrays within the plan's PartitionedRelPruneInfo get adjusted accordingly. There does not seem to be a simple way to generalize this scheme to cope with partitions that are removed, mostly because they could then get added back again with different bounds, but it works OK for added partitions. This code does not try to ensure that every backend participating in a parallel query sees the same view of the PartitionDesc. That currently doesn't matter, because we never pass PartitionDesc indexes between backends. Each backend will ignore the concurrently added partitions which it notices, and it doesn't matter if different backends are ignoring different sets of concurrently added partitions. If in the future that matters, for example because we allow writes in parallel query and want all participants to do tuple routing to the same set of partitions, the PartitionDirectory concept could be improved to share PartitionDescs across backends. There is a draft patch to serialize and restore PartitionDescs on the thread where this patch was discussed, which may be a useful place to start. Patch by me.

* Allow user control of CTE materialization, and change the default behavior.Tom Lane2019-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically we've always materialized the full output of a CTE query, treating WITH as an optimization fence (so that, for example, restrictions from the outer query cannot be pushed into it). This is appropriate when the CTE query is INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, or is recursive; but when the CTE query is non-recursive and side-effect-free, there's no hazard of changing the query results by pushing restrictions down. Another argument for materialization is that it can avoid duplicate computation of an expensive WITH query --- but that only applies if the WITH query is called more than once in the outer query. Even then it could still be a net loss, if each call has restrictions that would allow just a small part of the WITH query to be computed. Hence, let's change the behavior for WITH queries that are non-recursive and side-effect-free. By default, we will inline them into the outer query (removing the optimization fence) if they are called just once. If they are called more than once, we will keep the old behavior by default, but the user can override this and force inlining by specifying NOT MATERIALIZED. Lastly, the user can force the old behavior by specifying MATERIALIZED; this would mainly be useful when the query had deliberately been employing WITH as an optimization fence to prevent a poor choice of plan.

* Refactor the representation of indexable clauses in IndexPaths.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In place of three separate but interrelated lists (indexclauses, indexquals, and indexqualcols), an IndexPath now has one list "indexclauses" of IndexClause nodes. This holds basically the same information as before, but in a more useful format: in particular, there is now a clear connection between an indexclause (an original restriction clause from WHERE or JOIN/ON) and the indexquals (directly usable index conditions) derived from it. We also change the ground rules a bit by mandating that clause commutation, if needed, be done up-front so that what is stored in the indexquals list is always directly usable as an index condition. This gets rid of repeated re-determination of which side of the clause is the indexkey during costing and plan generation, as well as repeated lookups of the commutator operator. To minimize the added up-front cost, the typical case of commuting a plain OpExpr is handled by a new special-purpose function commute_restrictinfo(). For RowCompareExprs, generating the new clause properly commuted to begin with is not really any more complex than before, it's just different --- and we can save doing that work twice, as the pretty-klugy original implementation did. Tracking the connection between original and derived clauses lets us also track explicitly whether the derived clauses are an exact or lossy translation of the original. This provides a cheap solution to getting rid of unnecessary rechecks of boolean index clauses, which previously seemed like it'd be more expensive than it was worth. Another pleasant (IMO) side-effect is that EXPLAIN now always shows index clauses with the indexkey on the left; this seems less confusing. This commit leaves expand_indexqual_conditions() and some related functions in a slightly messy state. I didn't bother to change them any more than minimally necessary to work with the new data structure, because all that code is going to be refactored out of existence in a follow-on patch.

* In the planner, replace an empty FROM clause with a dummy RTE.Tom Lane2019-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fact that "SELECT expression" has no base relations has long been a thorn in the side of the planner. It makes it hard to flatten a sub-query that looks like that, or is a trivial VALUES() item, because the planner generally uses relid sets to identify sub-relations, and such a sub-query would have an empty relid set if we flattened it. prepjointree.c contains some baroque logic that works around this in certain special cases --- but there is a much better answer. We can replace an empty FROM clause with a dummy RTE that acts like a table of one row and no columns, and then there are no such corner cases to worry about. Instead we need some logic to get rid of useless dummy RTEs, but that's simpler and covers more cases than what was there before. For really trivial cases, where the query is just "SELECT expression" and nothing else, there's a hazard that adding the extra RTE makes for a noticeable slowdown; even though it's not much processing, there's not that much for the planner to do overall. However testing says that the penalty is very small, close to the noise level. In more complex queries, this is able to find optimizations that we could not find before. The new RTE type is called RTE_RESULT, since the "scan" plan type it gives rise to is a Result node (the same plan we produced for a "SELECT expression" query before). To avoid confusion, rename the old ResultPath path type to GroupResultPath, reflecting that it's only used in degenerate grouping cases where we know the query produces just one grouped row. (It wouldn't work to unify the two cases, because there are different rules about where the associated quals live during query_planner.) Note: although this touches readfuncs.c, I don't think a catversion bump is required, because the added case can't occur in stored rules, only plans.

* Revise attribute handling code on partition creationAlvaro Herrera2018-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original code to propagate NOT NULL and default expressions specified when creating a partition was mostly copy-pasted from typed-tables creation, but not being a great match it contained some duplicity, inefficiency and bugs. This commit fixes the bug that NOT NULL constraints declared in the parent table would not be honored in the partition. One reported issue that is not fixed is that a DEFAULT declared in the child is not used when inserting through the parent. That would amount to a behavioral change that's better not back-patched. This rewrite makes the code simpler: 1. instead of checking for duplicate column names in its own block, reuse the original one that already did that; 2. instead of concatenating the list of columns from parent and the one declared in the partition and scanning the result to (incorrectly) propagate defaults and not-null constraints, just scan the latter searching the former for a match, and merging sensibly. This works because we know the list in the parent is already correct and there can only be one parent. This rewrite makes ColumnDef->is_from_parent unused, so it's removed on branch master; on released branches, it's kept as an unused field in order not to cause ABI incompatibilities. This commit also adds a test case for creating partitions with collations mismatching that on the parent table, something that is closely related to the code being patched. No code change is introduced though, since that'd be a behavior change that could break some (broken) working applications. Amit Langote wrote a less invasive fix for the original NOT NULL/defaults bug, but while I kept the tests he added, I ended up not using his original code. Ashutosh Bapat reviewed Amit's fix.

* Correct attach/detach logic for FKs in partitionsAlvaro Herrera2018-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was no code to handle foreign key constraints on partitioned tables in the case of ALTER TABLE DETACH; and if you happened to ATTACH a partition that already had an equivalent constraint, that one was ignored and a new constraint was created. Adding this to the fact that foreign key cloning reuses the constraint name on the partition instead of generating a new name (as it probably should, to cater to SQL standard rules about constraint naming within schemas), the result was a pretty poor user experience -- the most visible failure was that just detaching a partition and re-attaching it failed with an error such as ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pg_constraint_conrelid_contypid_conname_index" DETAIL: Key (conrelid, contypid, conname)=(26702, 0, test_result_asset_id_fkey) already exists. because it would try to create an identically-named constraint in the partition. To make matters worse, if you tried to drop the constraint in the now-independent partition, that would fail because the constraint was still seen as dependent on the constraint in its former parent partitioned table: ERROR: cannot drop inherited constraint "test_result_asset_id_fkey" of relation "test_result_cbsystem_0001_0050_monthly_2018_09" This fix attacks the problem from two angles: first, when the partition is detached, the constraint is also marked as independent, so the drop now works. Second, when the partition is re-attached, we scan existing constraints searching for one matching the FK in the parent, and if one exists, we link that one to the parent constraint. So we don't end up with a duplicate -- and better yet, we don't need to scan the referenced table to verify that the constraint holds. To implement this I made a small change to previously planner-only struct ForeignKeyCacheInfo to contain the constraint OID; also relcache now maintains the list of FKs for partitioned tables too.

* Remove some unnecessary fields from Plan trees.Tom Lane2018-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the wake of commit f2343653f, we no longer need some fields that were used before to control executor lock acquisitions: * PlannedStmt.nonleafResultRelations can go away entirely. * partitioned_rels can go away from Append, MergeAppend, and ModifyTable. However, ModifyTable still needs to know the RT index of the partition root table if any, which was formerly kept in the first entry of that list. Add a new field "rootRelation" to remember that. rootRelation is partly redundant with nominalRelation, in that if it's set it will have the same value as nominalRelation. However, the latter field has a different purpose so it seems best to keep them distinct.

* Centralize executor's opening/closing of Relations for rangetable entries.Tom Lane2018-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create an array estate->es_relations[] paralleling the es_range_table, and store references to Relations (relcache entries) there, so that any given RT entry is opened and closed just once per executor run. Scan nodes typically still call ExecOpenScanRelation, but ExecCloseScanRelation is no more; relation closing is now done centrally in ExecEndPlan. This is slightly more complex than one would expect because of the interactions with relcache references held in ResultRelInfo nodes. The general convention is now that ResultRelInfo->ri_RelationDesc does not represent a separate relcache reference and so does not need to be explicitly closed; but there is an exception for ResultRelInfos in the es_trig_target_relations list, which are manufactured by ExecGetTriggerResultRel and have to be cleaned up by ExecCleanUpTriggerState. (That much was true all along, but these ResultRelInfos are now more different from others than they used to be.) To allow the partition pruning logic to make use of es_relations[] rather than having its own relcache references, adjust PartitionedRelPruneInfo to store an RT index rather than a relation OID.

* Create an RTE field to record the query's lock mode for each relation.Tom Lane2018-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add RangeTblEntry.rellockmode, which records the appropriate lock mode for each RTE_RELATION rangetable entry (either AccessShareLock, RowShareLock, or RowExclusiveLock depending on the RTE's role in the query). This patch creates the field and makes all creators of RTE nodes fill it in reasonably, but for the moment nothing much is done with it. The plan is to replace assorted post-parser logic that re-determines the right lockmode to use with simple uses of rte->rellockmode. For now, just add Asserts in each of those places that the rellockmode matches what they are computing today. (In some cases the match isn't perfect, so the Asserts are weaker than you might expect; but this seems OK, as per discussion.) This passes check-world for me, but it seems worth pushing in this state to see if the buildfarm finds any problems in cases I failed to test. catversion bump due to change of stored rules.

* Fix some minor issues exposed by outfuncs/readfuncs testing.Tom Lane2018-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A test patch to pass parse and plan trees through outfuncs + readfuncs exposed several issues that need to be fixed to get clean matches: Query.withCheckOptions failed to get copied; it's intentionally ignored by outfuncs/readfuncs on the grounds that it'd always be NIL anyway in stored rules. This seems less than future-proof, and it's not even saving very much, so just undo the decision and treat the field like all others. Several places that convert a view RTE into a subquery RTE, or similar manipulations, failed to clear out fields that were specific to the original RTE type and should be zero in a subquery RTE. Since readfuncs.c will leave such fields as zero, equalfuncs.c thinks the nodes are different leading to a reported mismatch. It seems like a good idea to clear out the no-longer-needed fields, even though in principle nothing should look at them; the node ought to be indistinguishable from how it would look if we'd built a new node instead of scribbling on the old one. BuildOnConflictExcludedTargetlist randomly set the resname of some TargetEntries to "" not NULL. outfuncs/readfuncs don't distinguish those cases, and so the string will read back in as NULL ... but equalfuncs.c does distinguish. Perhaps we ought to try to make things more consistent in this area --- but it's just useless extra code space for BuildOnConflictExcludedTargetlist to not use NULL here, so I fixed it for now by making it do that. catversion bumped because the change in handling of Query.withCheckOptions affects stored rules.

* Add outfuncs.c support for RawStmt nodes.Tom Lane2018-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed while poking at a report from Andrey Lepikhov that the recent addition of RawStmt nodes at the top of raw parse trees makes it impossible to print any raw parse trees whatsoever, because outfuncs.c doesn't know RawStmt and hence fails to descend into it. While we generally lack outfuncs.c support for utility statements, there is reasonably complete support for what you can find in a raw SELECT statement. It was not my intention to make that all dead code ... so let's add support for RawStmt. Back-patch to v10 where RawStmt appeared.
* Disable support for partitionwise joins in problematic cases.Etsuro Fujita2018-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f49842d, which added support for partitionwise joins, built the child's tlist by applying adjust_appendrel_attrs() to the parent's. So in the case where the parent's included a whole-row Var for the parent, the child's contained a ConvertRowtypeExpr. To cope with that, that commit added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors: * When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not find pathkey item to sort' error. * When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error. * When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target lists' error. To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and one by me. While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later, But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead. We don't need to handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit also removes the changes to the planner. Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation. So this commit builds that list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before partitionwise join went in. Back-patch to PG11 where partitionwise join was introduced. Report by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi. Analysis by Ashutosh Bapat, who also provided some of regression tests.

* Fix run-time partition pruning for appends with multiple source rels.Tom Lane2018-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding here supposed that if run-time partitioning applied to a particular Append/MergeAppend plan, then all child plans of that node must be members of a single partitioning hierarchy. This is totally wrong, since an Append could be formed from a UNION ALL: we could have multiple hierarchies sharing the same Append, or child plans that aren't part of any hierarchy. To fix, restructure the related plan-time and execution-time data structures so that we can have a separate list or array for each partitioning hierarchy. Also track subplans that are not part of any hierarchy, and make sure they don't get pruned. Per reports from Phil Florent and others. Back-patch to v11, since the bug originated there.

* Fix bugs with degenerate window ORDER BY clauses in GROUPS/RANGE mode.Tom Lane2018-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nodeWindowAgg.c failed to cope with the possibility that no ordering columns are defined in the window frame for GROUPS mode or RANGE OFFSET mode, leading to assertion failures or odd errors, as reported by Masahiko Sawada and Lukas Eder. In RANGE OFFSET mode, an ordering column is really required, so add an Assert about that. In GROUPS mode, the code would work, except that the node initialization code wasn't in sync with the execution code about when to set up tuplestore read pointers and spare slots. Fix the latter for consistency's sake (even though I think the changes described below make the out-of-sync cases unreachable for now). Per SQL spec, a single ordering column is required for RANGE OFFSET mode, and at least one ordering column is required for GROUPS mode. The parser enforced the former but not the latter; add a check for that. We were able to reach the no-ordering-column cases even with fully spec compliant queries, though, because the planner would drop partitioning and ordering columns from the generated plan if they were redundant with earlier columns according to the redundant-pathkey logic, for instance "PARTITION BY x ORDER BY y" in the presence of a "WHERE x=y" qual. While in principle that's an optimization that could save some pointless comparisons at runtime, it seems unlikely to be meaningful in the real world. I think this behavior was not so much an intentional optimization as a side-effect of an ancient decision to construct the plan node's ordering-column info by reverse-engineering the PathKeys of the input path. If we give up redundant-column removal then it takes very little code to generate the plan node info directly from the WindowClause, ensuring that we have the expected number of ordering columns in all cases. (If anyone does complain about this, the planner could perhaps be taught to remove redundant columns only when it's safe to do so, ie *not* in RANGE OFFSET mode. But I doubt anyone ever will.) With these changes, the WindowAggPath.winpathkeys field is not used for anything anymore, so remove it. The test cases added here are not actually very interesting given the removal of the redundant-column-removal logic, but they would represent important corner cases if anyone ever tries to put that back.

* Add GUC enable_partition_pruningAlvaro Herrera2018-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This controls both plan-time and execution-time new-style partition pruning. While finer-grain control is possible (maybe using an enum GUC instead of boolean), there doesn't seem to be much need for that. This new parameter controls partition pruning for all queries: trivially, SELECT queries that affect partitioned tables are naturally under its control since they are using the new technology. However, while UPDATE/DELETE queries do not use the new code, we make the new GUC control their behavior also (stealing control from constraint_exclusion), because it is more natural, and it leads to a more natural transition to the future in which those queries will also use the new pruning code. Constraint exclusion still controls pruning for regular inheritance situations (those not involving partitioned tables).

* Support partition pruning at execution timeAlvaro Herrera2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Existing partition pruning is only able to work at plan time, for query quals that appear in the parsed query. This is good but limiting, as there can be parameters that appear later that can be usefully used to further prune partitions. This commit adds support for pruning subnodes of Append which cannot possibly contain any matching tuples, during execution, by evaluating Params to determine the minimum set of subnodes that can possibly match. We support more than just simple Params in WHERE clauses. Support additionally includes: 1. Parameterized Nested Loop Joins: The parameter from the outer side of the join can be used to determine the minimum set of inner side partitions to scan. 2. Initplans: Once an initplan has been executed we can then determine which partitions match the value from the initplan. Partition pruning is performed in two ways. When Params external to the plan are found to match the partition key we attempt to prune away unneeded Append subplans during the initialization of the executor. This allows us to bypass the initialization of non-matching subplans meaning they won't appear in the EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE output. For parameters whose value is only known during the actual execution then the pruning of these subplans must wait. Subplans which are eliminated during this stage of pruning are still visible in the EXPLAIN output. In order to determine if pruning has actually taken place, the EXPLAIN ANALYZE must be viewed. If a certain Append subplan was never executed due to the elimination of the partition then the execution timing area will state "(never executed)". Whereas, if, for example in the case of parameterized nested loops, the number of loops stated in the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for certain subplans may appear lower than others due to the subplan having been scanned fewer times. This is due to the list of matching subnodes having to be evaluated whenever a parameter which was found to match the partition key changes. This commit required some additional infrastructure that permits the building of a data structure which is able to perform the translation of the matching partition IDs, as returned by get_matching_partitions, into the list index of a subpaths list, as exist in node types such as Append, MergeAppend and ModifyTable. This allows us to translate a list of clauses into a Bitmapset of all the subpath indexes which must be included to satisfy the clause list.

* Indexes with INCLUDE columns and their support in B-treeTeodor Sigaev2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans. Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause. In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples (tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation. The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special handling of B-tree indexes for that.

At present, this targets planner-time partition pruning, but there exist further patches to apply partition pruning at execution time as well.

* MERGE SQL Command following SQL:2016Simon Riggs2018-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows a task that would other require multiple PL statements. e.g. MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row, statement and transition triggers. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules, RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables. MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016. Includes full tests and documentation, including full isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior. This version written from scratch in 2017 by Simon Riggs, using docs and tests originally written in 2009.

* Basic planner and executor integration for JIT.Andres Freund2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds simple cost based plan time decision about whether JIT should be performed. jit_above_cost, jit_optimize_above_cost are compared with the total cost of a plan, and if the cost is above them JIT is performed / optimization is performed respectively. For that PlannedStmt and EState have a jitFlags (es_jit_flags) field that stores information about what JIT operations should be performed. EState now also has a new es_jit field, which can store a JitContext. When there are no errors the context is released in standard_ExecutorEnd(). It is likely that the default values for jit_[optimize_]above_cost will need to be adapted further, but in my test these values seem to work reasonably.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The LIKE INCLUDING ALL clause to CREATE TABLE intuitively indicates cloning of extended statistics on the source table, but it failed to do so.

While at it, reorder the INCLUDING options, both in code and in docs, in alphabetical order which makes more sense than feature-implementation order that was previously used. Backpatch this to Postgres 10, where extended statistics were introduced, because this is seen as an oversight in a fresh feature which is better to get consistent from the get-go instead of changing only in pg11. In pg11, comments on statistics objects are cloned too. In pg10 they are not, because I (Álvaro) was too coward to change the parse node as required to support it. Also, in pg10 I chose not to renumber the parser symbols for the various INCLUDING options in LIKE, for the same reason. Any corresponding user-visible changes (docs) are backpatched, though.

* Support all SQL:2011 options for window frame clauses.Tom Lane2018-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to use "RANGE offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" frame boundaries in window functions. We'd punted on that back in the original patch to add window functions, because it was not clear how to do it in a reasonably data-type-extensible fashion. That problem is resolved here by adding the ability for btree operator classes to provide an "in_range" support function that defines how to add or subtract the RANGE offset value. Factoring it this way also allows the operator class to avoid overflow problems near the ends of the datatype's range, if it wishes to expend effort on that. (In the committed patch, the integer opclasses handle that issue, but it did not seem worth the trouble to avoid overflow failures for datetime types.) The patch includes in_range support for the integer_ops opfamily (int2/int4/int8) as well as the standard datetime types. Support for other numeric types has been requested, but that seems like suitable material for a follow-on patch. In addition, the patch adds GROUPS mode which counts the offset in ORDER-BY peer groups rather than rows, and it adds the frame_exclusion options specified by SQL:2011. As far as I can see, we are now fully up to spec on window framing options. Existing behaviors remain unchanged, except that I changed the errcode for a couple of existing error reports to meet the SQL spec's expectation that negative "offset" values should be reported as SQLSTATE 22013. Internally and in relevant parts of the documentation, we now consistently use the terminology "offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" rather than "value PRECEDING/FOLLOWING", since the term "value" is confusingly vague.

* Fix application of identity values in some casesPeter Eisentraut2018-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Investigation of 2d2d06b7e27e3177d5bef0061801c75946871db3 revealed that identity values were not applied in some further cases, including logical replication subscribers, VALUES RTEs, and ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN. To fix all that, apply the identity column expression in build_column_default() instead of repeating the same logic at each call site. For ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN ... IDENTITY, the previous coding completely ignored that existing rows for the new column should have values filled in from the identity sequence. The coding using build_column_default() fails for this because the sequence ownership isn't registered until after ALTER TABLE, and we can't do it before because we don't have the column in the catalog yet. So we specially remember in ColumnDef the sequence name that we decided on and build a custom NextValueExpr using that. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>
