* Improve updatability checking for views and foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the FDW API (which we already changed for 9.3) so that an FDW can report whether specific foreign tables are insertable/updatable/deletable. The default assumption continues to be that they're updatable if the relevant executor callback function is supplied by the FDW, but finer granularity is now possible. As a test case, add an "updatable" option to contrib/postgres_fdw. This patch also fixes the information_schema views, which previously did not think that foreign tables were ever updatable, and fixes view_is_auto_updatable() so that a view on a foreign table can be auto-updatable. initdb forced due to changes in information_schema views and the functions they rely on. This is a bit unfortunate to do post-beta1, but if we don't change this now then we'll have another API break for FDWs when we do change it. Dean Rasheed, somewhat editorialized on by Tom Lane

* Incidental cleanup of matviews code.Tom Lane2013-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move checking for unscannable matviews into ExecOpenScanRelation, which is a better place for it first because the open relation is already available (saving a relcache lookup cycle), and second because this eliminates the problem of telling the difference between rangetable entries that will or will not be scanned by the query. In particular we can get rid of the not-terribly-well-thought-out-or-implemented isResultRel field that the initial matviews patch added to RangeTblEntry. Also get rid of entirely unnecessary scannability check in the rewriter, and a bogus decision about whether RefreshMatViewStmt requires a parse-time snapshot. catversion bump due to removal of a RangeTblEntry field, which changes stored rules.

* Create a distinction between a populated matview and a scannable one.Kevin Grittner2013-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intent was that being populated would, long term, be just one of the conditions which could affect whether a matview was scannable; being populated should be necessary but not always sufficient to scan the relation. Since only CREATE and REFRESH currently determine the scannability, names and comments accidentally conflated these concepts, leading to confusion. Also add missing locking for the SQL function which allows a test for scannability, and fix a modularity violatiion. Per complaints from Tom Lane, although its not clear that these will satisfy his concerns. Hopefully this will at least better frame the discussion.
* Fix thinko in matview patch.Tom Lane2013-03-11
| | | | | | | "break" instead of "continue" suppressed view expansion for views appearing later in the range table. Per report from Erikjan Rijkers. While at it, improve the associated comment a bit.
* Support writable foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic functionality there now. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov and Laurenz Albe, and rather heavily revised by Tom Lane.
* Add a materialized view relations.Kevin Grittner2013-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to populate the table, references in queries refer to the materialized data. This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of references to underlying tables, but that requires the other above-mentioned features to be working first. Much of the documentation work by Robert Haas. Review by Noah Misch, Thom Brown, Robert Haas, Marko Tiikkaja Security review by KaiGai Kohei, with a decision on how best to implement sepgsql still pending.
* Improve concurrency of foreign key lockingAlvaro Herrera2013-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces two additional lock modes for tuples: "SELECT FOR KEY SHARE" and "SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE". These don't block each other, in contrast with already existing "SELECT FOR SHARE" and "SELECT FOR UPDATE". UPDATE commands that do not modify the values stored in the columns that are part of the key of the tuple now grab a SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE lock on the tuple, allowing them to proceed concurrently with tuple locks of the FOR KEY SHARE variety. Foreign key triggers now use FOR KEY SHARE instead of FOR SHARE; this means the concurrency improvement applies to them, which is the whole point of this patch. The added tuple lock semantics require some rejiggering of the multixact module, so that the locking level that each transaction is holding can be stored alongside its Xid. Also, multixacts now need to persist across server restarts and crashes, because they can now represent not only tuple locks, but also tuple updates. This means we need more careful tracking of lifetime of pg_multixact SLRU files; since they now persist longer, we require more infrastructure to figure out when they can be removed. pg_upgrade also needs to be careful to copy pg_multixact files over from the old server to the new, or at least part of multixact.c state, depending on the versions of the old and new servers. Tuple time qualification rules (HeapTupleSatisfies routines) need to be careful not to consider tuples with the "is multi" infomask bit set as being only locked; they might need to look up MultiXact values (i.e. possibly do pg_multixact I/O) to find out the Xid that updated a tuple, whereas they previously were assured to only use information readily available from the tuple header. This is considered acceptable, because the extra I/O would involve cases that would previously cause some commands to block waiting for concurrent transactions to finish. Another important change is the fact that locking tuples that have previously been updated causes the future versions to be marked as locked, too; this is essential for correctness of foreign key checks. This causes additional WAL-logging, also (there was previously a single WAL record for a locked tuple; now there are as many as updated copies of the tuple there exist.) With all this in place, contention related to tuples being checked by foreign key rules should be much reduced. As a bonus, the old behavior that a subtransaction grabbing a stronger tuple lock than the parent (sub)transaction held on a given tuple and later aborting caused the weaker lock to be lost, has been fixed. Many new spec files were added for isolation tester framework, to ensure overall behavior is sane. There's probably room for several more tests. There were several reviewers of this patch; in particular, Noah Misch and Andres Freund spent considerable time in it. Original idea for the patch came from Simon Riggs, after a problem report by Joel Jacobson. Most code is from me, with contributions from Marti Raudsepp, Alexander Shulgin, Noah Misch and Andres Freund. This patch was discussed in several pgsql-hackers threads; the most important start at the following message-ids: AANLkTimo9XVcEzfiBR-ut3KVNDkjm2Vxh+t8kAmWjPuv@mail.gmail.com 1290721684-sup-3951@alvh.no-ip.org 1294953201-sup-2099@alvh.no-ip.org 1320343602-sup-2290@alvh.no-ip.org 1339690386-sup-8927@alvh.no-ip.org 4FE5FF020200002500048A3D@gw.wicourts.gov 4FEAB90A0200002500048B7D@gw.wicourts.gov

* Support automatically-updatable views.Tom Lane2012-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes "simple" views automatically updatable, without the need to create either INSTEAD OF triggers or INSTEAD rules. "Simple" views are those classified as updatable according to SQL-92 rules. The rewriter transforms INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands on such views directly into an equivalent command on the underlying table, which will generally have noticeably better performance than is possible with either triggers or user-written rules. A view that has INSTEAD OF triggers or INSTEAD rules continues to operate the same as before. For the moment, security_barrier views are not considered simple. Also, we do not support WITH CHECK OPTION. These features may be added in future. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Amit Kapila
* Rename ResolveNew() to ReplaceVarsFromTargetList(), and tweak its API.Tom Lane2012-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function currently lacks the option to throw error if the provided targetlist doesn't have any matching entry for a Var to be replaced. Two of the four existing call sites would be better off with an error, as would the usage in the pending auto-updatable-views patch, so it seems past time to extend the API to support that. To do so, replace the "event" parameter (historically of type CmdType, though it was declared plain int) with a special-purpose enum type. It's unclear whether this function might be called by third-party code. Since many C compilers wouldn't warn about a call site continuing to use the old calling convention, rename the function to forcibly break any such code that hasn't been updated. The old name was none too well chosen anyhow.
* Add some infrastructure for contrib/pg_stat_statements.Tom Lane2012-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a queryId field to Query and PlannedStmt. This is not used by the core backend, except for being copied around at appropriate times. It's meant to allow plug-ins to track a particular query forward from parse analysis to execution. The queryId is intentionally not dumped into stored rules (and hence this commit doesn't bump catversion). You could argue that choice either way, but it seems better that stored rule strings not have any dependency on plug-ins that might or might not be present. Also, add a post_parse_analyze_hook that gets invoked at the end of parse analysis (but only for top-level analysis of complete queries, not cases such as analyzing a domain's default-value expression). This is mainly meant to be used to compute and assign a queryId, but it could have other applications. Peter Geoghegan

* Add a security_barrier option for views.Robert Haas2011-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a view is marked as a security barrier, it will not be pulled up into the containing query, and no quals will be pushed down into it, so that no function or operator chosen by the user can be applied to rows not exposed by the view. Views not configured with this option cannot provide robust row-level security, but will perform far better. Patch by KaiGai Kohei; original problem report by Heikki Linnakangas (in October 2009!). Review (in earlier versions) by Noah Misch and others. Design advice by Tom Lane and myself. Further review and cleanup by me.
* Ensure that whole-row junk Vars are always of composite type.Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.) To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases. This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared. In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example: regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x; ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function

* Fix rewriter to cope (more or less) with CTEs in the query being rewritten.Tom Lane2011-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the original implementation of CTEs only allowed them in SELECT queries, the rule rewriter did not expect to find any CTEs in statements being rewritten by ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rules. We had dealt with this to some extent but the code was still several bricks shy of a load, as illustrated in bug #6051 from Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais. In particular, we have to be able to copy CTEs from the original query's cteList into that of a rule action, in case the rule action references the CTE (which it pretty much always will). This also implies we were doing things in the wrong order in RewriteQuery: we have to recursively rewrite the CTE queries before expanding the main query, so that we have the rewritten queries available to copy. There are unpleasant limitations yet to resolve here, but at least we now throw understandable FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED errors for them instead of just failing with bizarre implementation-dependent errors. In particular, we can't handle propagating the same CTE into multiple post-rewrite queries (because then the CTE would be evaluated multiple times), and we can't cope with conflicts between CTE names in the original query and in the rule actions.

* Pass collation to makeConst() instead of looking it up internally.Tom Lane2011-03-25
| | | | | | | | | In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup is both expensive and wrong.
* Support data-modifying commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) in WITH.Tom Lane2011-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value, and in an unspecified order. Therefore one WITH clause can't see the effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than through the RETURNING values. And attempts to do conflicting updates will have unpredictable results. We'll need to document all that. This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on author.

* Add a relkind field to RangeTblEntry to avoid some syscache lookups.Tom Lane2011-02-22
| | | | | | | | | The recent additions for FDW support required checking foreign-table-ness in several places in the parse/plan chain. While it's not clear whether that would really result in a noticeable slowdown, it seems best to avoid any performance risk by keeping a copy of the relation's relkind in RangeTblEntry. That might have some other uses later, anyway. Per discussion.

* Fix incorrect generation of whole-row variables in planner.Tom Lane2010-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars the same way the parser does. Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).
* Support triggers on views.Tom Lane2010-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger, which is fired instead of performing a physical insert/update/delete. The trigger function is passed the entire old and/or new rows of the view, and must figure out what to do to the underlying tables to implement the update. So this feature can be used to implement updatable views using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking. In passing, this patch corrects the names of some columns in the information_schema.triggers view. It seems the SQL committee renamed them somewhere between SQL:99 and SQL:2003. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Bernd Helmle; some additional hacking by me.

* Fix AcquireRewriteLocks to be sure that it acquires the right lock strengthTom Lane2009-10-28
| | | | | | when FOR UPDATE is propagated down into a sub-select expanded from a view. Similar bug to parser's isLockedRel issue that I fixed yesterday; likewise seems not quite worth the effort to back-patch.
* When FOR UPDATE/SHARE is used with LIMIT, put the LockRows plan nodeTom Lane2009-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | underneath the Limit node, not atop it. This fixes the old problem that such a query might unexpectedly return fewer rows than the LIMIT says, due to LockRows discarding updated rows. There is a related problem that LockRows might destroy the sort ordering produced by earlier steps; but fixing that by pushing LockRows below Sort would create serious performance problems that are unjustified in many real-world applications, as well as potential deadlock problems from locking many more rows than expected. Instead, keep the present semantics of applying FOR UPDATE after ORDER BY within a single query level; but allow the user to specify the other way by writing FOR UPDATE in a sub-select. To make that work, track whether FOR UPDATE appeared explicitly in sub-selects or got pushed down from the parent, and don't flatten a sub-select that contained an explicit FOR UPDATE.
* Make FOR UPDATE/SHARE in the primary query not propagate into WITH queries;Tom Lane2009-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for example in WITH w AS (SELECT * FROM foo) SELECT * FROM w, bar ... FOR UPDATE the FOR UPDATE will now affect bar but not foo. This is more useful and consistent than the original 8.4 behavior, which tried to propagate FOR UPDATE into the WITH query but always failed due to assorted implementation restrictions. Even though we are in process of removing those restrictions, it seems correct on philosophical grounds to not let the outer query's FOR UPDATE affect the WITH query. In passing, fix isLockedRel which frequently got things wrong in nested-subquery cases: "FOR UPDATE OF foo" applies to an alias foo in the current query level, not subqueries. This has been broken for a long time, but it doesn't seem worth back-patching further than 8.4 because the actual consequences are minimal. At worst the parser would sometimes get RowShareLock on a relation when it should be AccessShareLock or vice versa. That would only make a difference if someone were using ExclusiveLock concurrently, which no standard operation does, and anyway FOR UPDATE doesn't result in visible changes so it's not clear that the someone would notice any problem. Between that and the fact that FOR UPDATE barely works with subqueries at all in existing releases, I'm not excited about worrying about it.
* Re-implement EvalPlanQual processing to improve its performance and eliminateTom Lane2009-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a lot of strange behaviors that occurred in join cases. We now identify the "current" row for every joined relation in UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries. If an EvalPlanQual recheck is necessary, we jam the appropriate row into each scan node in the rechecking plan, forcing it to emit only that one row. The former behavior could rescan the whole of each joined relation for each recheck, which was terrible for performance, and what's much worse could result in duplicated output tuples. Also, the original implementation of EvalPlanQual could not re-use the recheck execution tree --- it had to go through a full executor init and shutdown for every row to be tested. To avoid this overhead, I've associated a special runtime Param with each LockRows or ModifyTable plan node, and arranged to make every scan node below such a node depend on that Param. Thus, by signaling a change in that Param, the EPQ machinery can just rescan the already-built test plan. This patch also adds a prohibition on set-returning functions in the targetlist of SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE. This is needed to avoid the duplicate-output-tuple problem. It seems fairly reasonable since the other restrictions on SELECT FOR UPDATE are meant to ensure that there is a unique correspondence between source tuples and result tuples, which an output SRF destroys as much as anything else does.
* Fix subquery pullup to wrap a PlaceHolderVar around the entire RowExprTom Lane2009-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | that's generated for a whole-row Var referencing the subquery, when the subquery is in the nullable side of an outer join. The previous coding instead put PlaceHolderVars around the elements of the RowExpr. The effect was that when the outer join made the subquery outputs go to null, the whole-row Var produced ROW(NULL,NULL,...) rather than just NULL. There are arguments afoot about whether those things ought to be semantically indistinguishable, but for the moment they are not entirely so, and the planner needs to take care that its machinations preserve the difference. Per bug #5025. Making this feasible required refactoring ResolveNew() to allow more caller control over what is substituted for a Var. I chose to make ResolveNew() a wrapper around a new general-purpose function replace_rte_variables(). I also fixed the ancient bogosity that ResolveNew might fail to set a query's hasSubLinks field after inserting a SubLink in it. Although all current callers make sure that happens anyway, we've had bugs of that sort before, and it seemed like a good time to install a proper solution. Back-patch to 8.4. The problem can be demonstrated clear back to 8.0, but the fix would be too invasive in earlier branches; not to mention that people may be depending on the subtly-incorrect behavior. The 8.4 series is new enough that fixing this probably won't cause complaints, but it might in older branches. Also, 8.4 shows the incorrect behavior in more cases than older branches do, because it is able to flatten subqueries in more cases.

* Fix more problems with rewriter failing to set Query.hasSubLinks when insertingTom Lane2008-09-24

| | | | | | | | | | | | | most node types used in expression trees (both before and after parse analysis).
