* Improve my initial, rather hacky implementation of joins to appendTom Lane2006-02-05
| | | | | | | | relations: fix the executor so that we can have an Append plan on the inside of a nestloop and still pass down outer index keys to index scans within the Append, then generate such plans as if they were regular inner indexscans. This avoids the need to evaluate the outer relation multiple times.
* Teach tid-scan code to make use of "ctid = ANY (array)" clauses, so thatTom Lane2005-11-26
| | | | | | | "ctid IN (list)" will still work after we convert IN to ScalarArrayOpExpr. Make some minor efficiency improvements while at it, such as ensuring that multiple TIDs are fetched in physical heap order. And fix EXPLAIN so that it shows what's really going on for a TID scan.
* Re-run pgindent, fixing a problem where comment lines after a blankBruce Momjian2005-11-22
| | | | | | | | | comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for indenting). Backpatch to 8.1.X.
* Thinking further, it seems we had better also copy down resorigtbl/resorigcolTom Lane2005-11-03
| | | | | to ensure that SubqueryScan elimination doesn't change the behavior of reporting of original column sources.
* Fix the recently-added code that eliminates unnecessary SubqueryScan nodesTom Lane2005-11-03
| | | | | | | from a finished plan tree. We have to copy the output column names (resname fields) from the SubqueryScan down to its child plan node; else, if this is the topmost level of the plan, the wrong column names will be delivered to the client. Per bug #2017 reported by Jolly Chen.

* Back out prior patch and instead just suppress SubqueryScan eliminationTom Lane2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | when there are extra resjunk columns in the child node. I found some additional cases involving Append nodes that weren't handled by the prior patch, and it's not clear how to fix them in the same way without breaking inheritance cases. So the prudent path seems to be to narrow the scope of the optimization.
* For non-projecting plan node types such as Limit, set_plan_referencesTom Lane2005-09-05
| | | | | | has to recopy the input plan node's targetlist if it removes a SubqueryScan node just below the non-projecting node. For simplicity I made it recopy always. Per bug report from Allan Wang and Michael Fuhr.
* Fix two separate bugs in setrefs.c. set_subqueryscan_references needsTom Lane2005-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to copy the whole plan tree before invoking adjust_plan_varnos(); else if there is any multiply-linked substructure, the latter might increment some Var's varno twice. Previously there were some retail copyObject calls inside adjust_plan_varnos, but it seems a lot safer to just dup the whole tree first. Also, set_inner_join_references was trying to avoid work by not recursing if a BitmapHeapScan's bitmapqualorig contained no outer references; which was OK at the time the code was written, I think, but now that create_bitmap_scan_plan removes duplicate clauses from bitmapqualorig it is possible for that field to be NULL while outer references still remain in the qpqual and/or contained indexscan nodes. For safety, always recurse even if the BitmapHeapScan looks to be outer reference free. Per reports from Michael Fuhr and Oleg Bartunov.
* Revise searching of subplan target lists to use something more efficientTom Lane2005-06-10
| | | | | than tlist_member calls. Building a large join tlist is still O(N^2), but with a much smaller constant factor than before.
* Teach the planner to remove SubqueryScan nodes from the plan if theyTom Lane2005-05-22
| | | | | | | | | aren't doing anything useful (ie, neither selection nor projection). Also, extend to SubqueryScan the hacks already in place to avoid unnecessary ExecProject calls when the result would just be the same tuple the subquery already delivered. This saves some overhead in UNION and other set operations, as well as avoiding overhead for unflatten-able subqueries. Per example from Sokolov Yura.
* Remove support for OR'd indexscans internal to a single IndexScan planTom Lane2005-04-25
| | | | | | | | node, as this behavior is now better done as a bitmap OR indexscan. This allows considerable simplification in nodeIndexscan.c itself as well as several planner modules concerned with indexscan plan generation. Also we can improve the sharing of code between regular and bitmap indexscans, since they are now working with nigh-identical Plan nodes.
* First cut at planner support for bitmap index scans. Lots to do yet,Tom Lane2005-04-22
| | | | | | | | but the code is basically working. Along the way, rewrite the entire approach to processing OR index conditions, and make it work in join cases for the first time ever. orindxpath.c is now basically obsolete, but I left it in for the time being to allow easy comparison testing against the old implementation.
* Create executor and planner-backend support for decoupled heap and indexTom Lane2005-04-19
| | | | | | | | | scans, using in-memory tuple ID bitmaps as the intermediary. The planner frontend (path creation and cost estimation) is not there yet, so none of this code can be executed. I have tested it using some hacked planner code that is far too ugly to see the light of day, however. Committing now so that the bulk of the infrastructure changes go in before the tree drifts under me.
* Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save aTom Lane2005-04-06
| | | | | | | | | few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date. initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.

| | | | | | | | Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...

* 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.

* Instead of rechecking lossy index operators by putting them into theTom Lane2004-01-06
| | | | | | | | | regular qpqual ('filter condition'), add special-purpose code to nodeIndexscan.c to recheck them. This ends being almost no net addition of code, because the removal of planner code balances out the extra executor code, but it is significantly more efficient when a lossy operator is involved in an OR indexscan. The old implementation had to recheck the entire indexqual in such cases.

* Support expressions of the form 'scalar op ANY (array)' andTom Lane2003-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | 'scalar op ALL (array)', where the operator is applied between the lefthand scalar and each element of the array. The operator must yield boolean; the result of the construct is the OR or AND of the per-element results, respectively. Original coding by Joe Conway, after an idea of Peter's. Rewritten by Tom to keep the implementation strictly separate from subqueries.
* COALESCE() and NULLIF() are now first-class expressions, not macrosTom Lane2003-02-16
| | | | | that turn into CASE expressions. They evaluate their arguments at most once. Patch by Kris Jurka, review and (very light) editorializing by me.
* IN clauses appearing at top level of WHERE can now be handled as joins.Tom Lane2003-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | There are two implementation techniques: the executor understands a new JOIN_IN jointype, which emits at most one matching row per left-hand row, or the result of the IN's sub-select can be fed through a DISTINCT filter and then joined as an ordinary relation. Along the way, some minor code cleanup in the optimizer; notably, break out most of the jointree-rearrangement preprocessing in planner.c and put it in a new file prep/prepjointree.c.
* Now that switch_outer processing no longer relies on being run afterTom Lane2003-01-15
| | | | | | | join_references(), it's practical to consolidate all join_references() processing into the set_plan_references traversal in setrefs.c. This seems considerably cleaner than the old way where we did it for join quals in createplan.c and for targetlists in setrefs.c.
* Allow merge and hash joins to occur on arbitrary expressions (anything notTom Lane2003-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | containing a volatile function), rather than only on 'Var = Var' clauses as before. This makes it practical to do flatten_join_alias_vars at the start of planning, which in turn eliminates a bunch of klugery inside the planner to deal with alias vars. As a free side effect, we now detect implied equality of non-Var expressions; for example in SELECT ... WHERE a.x = b.y and b.y = 42 we will deduce a.x = 42 and use that as a restriction qual on a. Also, we can remove the restriction introduced 12/5/02 to prevent pullup of subqueries whose targetlists contain sublinks. Still TODO: make statistical estimation routines in selfuncs.c and costsize.c smarter about expressions that are more complex than plain Vars. The need for this is considerably greater now that we have to be able to estimate the suitability of merge and hash join techniques on such expressions.
* Reconsider mechanism for marking sub-selects that are at top level ofTom Lane2003-01-13
| | | | | | a qualification clause (and hence can get away with being sloppy about distinguishing FALSE from UNKNOWN). We need to know this in subselect.c; marking the subplans in setrefs.c is too late.
* Further tweaking of parsetree & plantree representation of SubLinks.Tom Lane2003-01-10
| | | | | | | Simplify SubLink by storing just a List of operator OIDs, instead of a list of incomplete OpExprs --- that was a bizarre and bulky choice, with no redeeming social value since we have to build new OpExprs anyway when forming the plan tree.
* Clean up plantree representation of SubPlan-s --- SubLink does not appearTom Lane2002-12-14
| | | | | | | | in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan. This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
* Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane2002-12-12
| | | | | | | | | so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.
* Phase 1 of read-only-plans project: cause executor state nodes to pointTom Lane2002-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links). The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway. No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
* Code review for IS DISTINCT FROM patch. Fix incorrect constant-foldingTom Lane2002-11-30
| | | | | | logic, dissuade planner from thinking that 'x IS DISTINCT FROM 42' may be optimized into 'x = 42' (!!), cause dependency on = operator to be recorded correctly, minor other improvements.
* Add an at-least-marginally-plausible method of estimating the numberTom Lane2002-11-19
| | | | | | of groups produced by GROUP BY. This improves the accuracy of planning estimates for grouped subselects, and is needed to check whether a hashed aggregation plan risks memory overflow.

* Change set_plan_references and join_references to take an rtable ListTom Lane2002-05-18
| | | | | | | | rather than a Query node; this allows set_plan_references to recurse into subplans correctly. Fixes core dump on full outer joins in subplans. Also, invoke preprocess_expression on function RTEs' function expressions. This seems to fix the planner's problems with outer-level Vars in function RTEs.
* Add missing fix_expr_references() step for the funcexpr of aTom Lane2002-05-18
| | | | FunctionScan plan node.
* First pass at set-returning-functions in FROM, by Joe Conway withTom Lane2002-05-12
| | | | | | some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
* 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 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.
* New pgindent run with fixes suggested by Tom. Patch manually reviewed,Bruce Momjian2001-11-05
| | | | initdb/regression tests pass.
* Fix problems with subselects used in GROUP BY expressions, per gripeTom Lane2001-10-30
| | | | | | from Philip Warner. Side effect of change is that GROUP BY expressions will not be re-evaluated at multiple plan levels anymore, whereas this sometimes happened with old code.
