with index qual clauses in the Path representation. This saves a little
work during createplan and (probably more importantly) allows reuse of
cached selectivity estimates during indexscan planning. Also fix latent
bug: wrong plan would have been generated for a 'special operator' used
in a nestloop-inner-indexscan join qual, because the special operator
would not have gotten into the list of quals to recheck. This bug is
only latent because at present the special-operator code could never
trigger on a join qual, but sooner or later someone will want to do it.

join conditions in which each OR subclause includes a constraint on
the same relation. This implements the other useful side-effect of
conversion to CNF format, without its unpleasant side-effects. As
per pghackers discussion of a few weeks ago.

node emits only those vars that are actually needed above it in the
plan tree. (There were comments in the code suggesting that this was
done at some point in the dim past, but for a long time we have just
made join nodes emit everything that either input emitted.) Aside from
being marginally more efficient, this fixes the problem noted by Peter
Eisentraut where a join above an IN-implemented-as-join might fail,
because the subplan targetlist constructed in the latter case didn't
meet the expectation of including everything.
Along the way, fix some places that were O(N^2) in the targetlist
length. This is not all the trouble spots for wide queries by any
means, but it's a step forward.

some cases of redundant clauses that were formerly not caught. We have
to special-case this because the clauses involved never get attached to
the same join restrictlist and so the existing logic does not notice
that they are redundant.

blanks, in hopes of reducing the surprise factor for newbies. Remove
redundant operators for VARCHAR (it depends wholly on TEXT operations now).
Clean up resolution of ambiguous operators/functions to avoid surprising
choices for domains: domains are treated as equivalent to their base types
and binary-coercibility is no longer considered a preference item when
choosing among multiple operators/functions. IsBinaryCoercible now correctly
reflects the notion that you need *only* relabel the type to get from type
A to type B: that is, a domain is binary-coercible to its base type, but
not vice versa. Various marginal cleanup, including merging the essentially
duplicate resolution code in parse_func.c and parse_oper.c. Improve opr_sanity
regression test to understand about binary compatibility (using pg_cast),
and fix a couple of small errors in the catalogs revealed thereby.
Restructure "special operator" handling to fetch operators via index opclasses
rather than hardwiring assumptions about names (cleans up the pattern_ops
stuff a little).

the outer query. (The implementation is a bit klugy, but it would take
nontrivial restructuring to make it nicer, which this is probably not
worth.) This avoids unnecessary sort steps in examples like
SELECT foo,count(*) FROM (SELECT ... ORDER BY foo,bar) sub GROUP BY foo
which means there is now a reasonable technique for controlling the
order of inputs to custom aggregates, even in the grouping case.

Instead of Lists of integers, we now store variable-length bitmap sets.
This should be faster as well as less error-prone.

Try to model the effect of rescanning input tuples in mergejoins;
account for JOIN_IN short-circuiting where appropriate. Also, recognize
that mergejoin and hashjoin clauses may now be more than single operator
calls, so we have to charge appropriate execution costs.

DISTINCT processing on the output of an IN sub-select.
|

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.

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.

instead of only one. This should speed up planning (only one hash path
to consider for a given pair of relations) as well as allow more effective
hashing, when there are multiple hashable joinclauses.

joinclauses is determined accurately for each join. Formerly, the code only
considered joinclauses that used all of the rels from the outer side of the
join; thus for example
FROM (a CROSS JOIN b) JOIN c ON (c.f1 = a.x AND c.f2 = b.y)
could not exploit a two-column index on c(f1,f2), since neither of the
qual clauses would be in the joininfo list it looked in. The new code does
this correctly, and also is able to eliminate redundant clauses, thus fixing
the problem noted 24-Oct-02 by Hans-Jürgen Schönig.

node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a
preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline. This allows elimination of
the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code
in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably
faster. Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to
using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner
makes the decision. (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner
was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash-
based aggregation step.) Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since
only in-memory node types changed.

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 ...

tests pass.

Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.

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).

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!

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

hashjoinable clause, not one path for a randomly-chosen element of each
set of clauses with the same join operator. That is, if you wrote
SELECT ... WHERE t1.f1 = t2.f2 and t1.f3 = t2.f4,
and both '=' ops were the same opcode (say, all four fields are int4),
then the system would either consider hashing on f1=f2 or on f3=f4,
but it would *not* consider both possibilities. Boo hiss.
Also, revise estimation of hashjoin costs to include a penalty when the
inner join var has a high disbursion --- ie, the most common value is
pretty common. This tends to lead to badly skewed hash bucket occupancy
and way more comparisons than you'd expect on average.
I imagine that the cost calculation still needs tweaking, but at least
it generates a more reasonable plan than before on George Young's example.
