* Second try at fixing join alias variables. Instead of attaching miscellaneousTom Lane2002-04-28
| | | | | | | | lists to join RTEs, attach a list of Vars and COALESCE expressions that will replace the join's alias variables during planning. This simplifies flatten_join_alias_vars while still making it easy to fix up varno references when transforming the query tree. Add regression test cases for interactions of subqueries with outer joins.
* Restructure representation of aggregate functions so that they have pg_procTom Lane2002-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c. Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like, but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided breaking regression tests as much as I could.
* A little further progress on schemas: push down RangeVars intoTom Lane2002-03-22
| | | | | | | addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations; we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead. Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
* First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane2002-03-21
| | | | | | | | the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
* Restructure representation of join alias variables. An explicit JOINTom Lane2002-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do. Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end of planning, rather than during parsing. Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work. initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
* Second thoughts dept: arrange to cache mergejoin scan selectivityTom Lane2002-03-01

Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT commands that have actions added by rules.

| | | | | | | tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs. Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own expression node types, instead of depending on special functions. From Joe Conway, with a little help from Tom Lane.
* Further work on making use of new statistics in planner. Adjust APIsTom Lane2001-06-05
| | | | | | | | | of costsize.c routines to pass Query root, so that costsize can figure more things out by itself and not be so dependent on its callers to tell it everything it needs to know. Use selectivity of hash or merge clause to estimate number of tuples processed internally in these joins (this is more useful than it would've been before, since eqjoinsel is somewhat more accurate than before).
* Modify optimizer data structures so that IndexOptInfo lists built forTom Lane2001-05-20
| | | | | | | | create_index_paths are not immediately discarded, but are available for subsequent planner work. This allows avoiding redundant syscache lookups in several places. Change interface to operator selectivity estimation procedures to allow faster and more flexible estimation. Initdb forced due to change of pg_proc entries for selectivity functions!
* Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available asTom Lane2001-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too). pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values, not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command. There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before. A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

* Modify readfuncs so that recursive use of stringToNode will not crashTom Lane2001-01-07
| | | | | | | | and burn. Just for added luck, change reading of CONST nodes so that we do not need to consult pg_type rows while reading them; this means that no database access occurs during stringToNode. This requires changing the order in which const-node fields are written, which means an initdb is forced.
* Planner speedup hacking. Avoid saving useless pathkeys, so that pathTom Lane2000-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | comparison does not consider paths different when they differ only in uninteresting aspects of sort order. (We had a special case of this consideration for indexscans already, but generalize it to apply to ordered join paths too.) Be stricter about what is a canonical pathkey to allow faster pathkey comparison. Cache canonical pathkeys and dispersion stats for left and right sides of a RestrictInfo's clause, to avoid repeated computation. Total speedup will depend on number of tables in a query, but I see about 4x speedup of planning phase for a sample seven-table query.
* Cache eval cost of qualification expressions in RestrictInfo nodes toTom Lane2000-12-12
| | | | | | | avoid repeated evaluations in cost_qual_eval(). This turns out to save a useful fraction of planning time. No change to external representation of RestrictInfo --- although that node type doesn't appear in stored rules anyway.
* Restructure handling of inheritance queries so that they work with outerTom Lane2000-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | joins, and clean things up a good deal at the same time. Append plan node no longer hacks on rangetable at runtime --- instead, all child tables are given their own RT entries during planning. Concept of multiple target tables pushed up into execMain, replacing bug-prone implementation within nodeAppend. Planner now supports generating Append plans for inheritance sets either at the top of the plan (the old way) or at the bottom. Expanding at the bottom is appropriate for tables used as sources, since they may appear inside an outer join; but we must still expand at the top when the target of an UPDATE or DELETE is an inheritance set, because we actually need a different targetlist and junkfilter for each target table in that case. Fortunately a target table can't be inside an outer join... Bizarre mutual recursion between union_planner and prepunion.c is gone --- in fact, union_planner doesn't really have much to do with union queries anymore, so I renamed it grouping_planner.

* Reimplementation of UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT. INTERSECT/EXCEPT now meet theTom Lane2000-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too. This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the datatype conversions can be inserted safely. INITDB NEEDED!
* Subselects in FROM clause, per ISO syntax: FROM (SELECT ...) [AS] alias.Tom Lane2000-09-29
| | | | | | | | | (Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking moved out of rewriter and into executor. INITDB REQUIRED!
* First cut at full support for OUTER JOINs. There are still a few looseTom Lane2000-09-12
| | | | | ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly it works. INITDB REQUIRED!
* Remove 'func_tlist' from Func expression nodes, likewise 'param_tlist'Tom Lane2000-08-08
| | | | | | | | from Param nodes, per discussion a few days ago on pghackers. Add new expression node type FieldSelect that implements the functionality where it's actually needed. Clean up some other unused fields in Func nodes as well. NOTE: initdb forced due to change in stored expression trees for rules.
* Remove 'Array' node type, which has evidently been dead code forTom Lane2000-07-22
| | | | a very long time.
* Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.Tom Lane2000-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | There's now only one transition value and transition function. NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner. Also, use Numeric accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower. Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend. Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default. Unrelated change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...
* First stage of reclaiming memory in executor by resetting short-termTom Lane2000-07-12
| | | | | | memory contexts. Currently, only leaks in expressions executed as quals or projections are handled. Clean up some old dead cruft in executor while at it --- unused fields in state nodes, that sort of thing.
* Reimplement nodeMaterial to use a temporary BufFile (or even memory, if theTom Lane2000-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation. This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname' plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans, and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.
* Repair unforgivably brain-dead representation of CaseExpr nodes inTom Lane2000-06-16

* Repair logic flaw in cost estimator: cost_nestloop() was estimating CPUTom Lane2000-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | costs using the inner path's parent->rows count as the number of tuples processed per inner scan iteration. This is wrong when we are using an inner indexscan with indexquals based on join clauses, because the rows count in a Relation node reflects the selectivity of the restriction clauses for that rel only. Upshot was that if join clause was very selective, we'd drastically overestimate the true cost of the join. Fix is to calculate correct output-rows estimate for an inner indexscan when the IndexPath node is created and save it in the path node. Change of path node doesn't require initdb, since path nodes don't appear in saved rules.
* Fix a bunch of minor portability problems and maybe-bugs revealed byTom Lane2000-03-17
| | | | | | running gcc and HP's cc with warnings cranked way up. Signed vs unsigned comparisons, routines declared static and then defined not-static, that kind of thing. Tedious, but perhaps useful...
* Create a new expression node type RelabelType, which exists solely toTom Lane2000-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | represent the result of a binary-compatible type coercion. At runtime it just evaluates its argument --- but during type resolution, exprType will pick up the output type of the RelabelType node instead of the type of the argument. This solves some longstanding problems with dropped type coercions, an example being 'select now()::abstime::int4' which used to produce date-formatted output, not an integer, because the coercion to int4 was dropped on the floor.
* New cost model for planning, incorporating a penalty for random pageTom Lane2000-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE- clause expressions. Export critical parameters for this model as SET variables. Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags (enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS. Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs. Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases. Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning (I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and not constructing unnecessary lists. Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in EXPLAIN output. Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation functions.
* Carry column aliases from the parser frontend. Enables queries likeThomas G. Lockhart2000-02-15
| | | | | | | SELECT a FROM t1 tx (a); Allow join syntax, including queries like SELECT * FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2; Update RTE structure to hold column aliases in an Attr structure.
* Repair planning bugs caused by my misguided removal of restrictinfo linkTom Lane2000-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | fields in JoinPaths --- turns out that we do need that after all :-(. Also, rearrange planner so that only one RelOptInfo is created for a particular set of joined base relations, no matter how many different subsets of relations it can be created from. This saves memory and processing time compared to the old method of making a bunch of RelOptInfos and then removing the duplicates. Clean up the jointree iteration logic; not sure if it's better, but I sure find it more readable and plausible now, particularly for the case of 'bushy plans'.
* Redesign DISTINCT ON as discussed in pgsql-sql 1/25/00: syntax is nowTom Lane2000-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | SELECT DISTINCT ON (expr [, expr ...]) targetlist ... and there is a check to make sure that the user didn't specify an ORDER BY that's incompatible with the DISTINCT operation. Reimplement nodeUnique and nodeGroup to use the proper datatype-specific equality function for each column being compared --- they used to do bitwise comparisons or convert the data to text strings and strcmp(). (To add insult to injury, they'd look up the conversion functions once for each tuple...) Parse/plan representation of DISTINCT is now a list of SortClause nodes. initdb forced by querytree change...
* Add:Bruce Momjian2000-01-26
| | | | | | * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2000, PostgreSQL, Inc to all files copyright Regents of Berkeley. Man, that's a lot of files.
* Revise handling of index-type-specific indexscan cost estimation, perTom Lane2000-01-22
| | | | | | pghackers discussion of 5-Jan-2000. The amopselect and amopnpages estimators are gone, and in their place is a per-AM amcostestimate procedure (linked to from pg_am, not pg_amop).
* Revise quoting conventions in outfuncs/readfuncs so that nodeRead doesn'tTom Lane2000-01-14
| | | | | | choke on relation or attribute names containing spaces, quotes, or other special characters. This fixes a TODO item. It also forces initdb, since stored rule strings change.
* Another round of planner/optimizer work. This is just restructuring andTom Lane2000-01-09
| | | | | code cleanup; no major improvements yet. However, EXPLAIN does produce more intuitive outputs for nested loops with indexscans now...
* aggregate(DISTINCT ...) works, per SQL spec.Tom Lane1999-12-13

* Fix planner and rewriter to follow SQL semantics for tables that areTom Lane1999-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | mentioned in FROM but not elsewhere in the query: such tables should be joined over anyway. Aside from being more standards-compliant, this allows removal of some very ugly hacks for COUNT(*) processing. Also, allow HAVING clause without aggregate functions, since SQL does. Clean up CREATE RULE statement-list syntax the same way Bruce just fixed the main stmtmulti production. CAUTION: addition of a field to RangeTblEntry nodes breaks stored rules; you will have to initdb if you have any rules.
* Major revision of sort-node handling: push knowledge of queryTom Lane1999-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sort order down into planner, instead of handling it only at the very top level of the planner. This fixes many things. An explicit sort is now avoided if there is a cheaper alternative (typically an indexscan) not only for ORDER BY, but also for the internal sort of GROUP BY. It works even when there is no other reason (such as a WHERE condition) to consider the indexscan. It works for indexes on functions. It works for indexes on functions, backwards. It's just so cool... CAUTION: I have changed the representation of SortClause nodes, therefore THIS UPDATE BREAKS STORED RULES. You will need to initdb.
* Major planner/optimizer revision: get rid of PathOrder node type,Tom Lane1999-08-16
| | | | | | | | | store all ordering information in pathkeys lists (which are now lists of lists of PathKeyItem nodes, not just lists of lists of vars). This was a big win --- the code is smaller and IMHO more understandable than it was, even though it handles more cases. I believe the node changes will not force an initdb for anyone; planner nodes don't show up in stored rules.
